Summary

 * Previous Part ←—→ Next Part

It begins in 21XX, far into the future, where X, Zero, Axl, and several other Maverick Hunters are speeding through a snowstorm towards Sigma's hideout. X then tells the hunters to arm their weapons and synch with their navigators, as well as telling Axl and Zero that they're coming with him, before declaring that they are stopping Sigma here and now. Their initial run is interrupted by Vile, gleeful at the thought of killing X. Zero and Axl hold off Vile while X heads deeper into the stronghold, confronting a hologram of Sigma. X vows that the threat of Sigma to the world will end, but Sigma boasts his conquest of worlds has only begun and disappears with X wondering where Sigma went to.

Meanwhile, in the present day of Sonic's homeworld, Sonic is running trying to find the last remaining Chaos Emerald to repair his world as a result of the events of Worlds Collide. However, he expresses confusion as to where the Chaos Emerald could be, as Tails indicated that it was around the area, yet he was coming close to the end of the area. He then shrugged it off, deciding that gravity's just a theory anyways, and runs down the cliff to the magma. He ends up helping a small animal and finding another shard of the shattered Master Emerald, which he takes with him to bring to Knuckles.

Meanwhile, in 20XX, the present day of Mega Man's homeworld, Mega Man and the other Robot Masters for Dr. Light are continuing the repair work for Light Labs after its destruction at the hands of Dr. Wily. Mega Man and Elec Man are preparing to utilize Thunder Beam to jumpstart the power generator with one steady jolt. They managed to do so, with Roll being glad that they have power, while Cut Man is slightly disappointed, as he was enjoying watching Fire Man and Ice Man trying to act as the heating and cooling, respectively. Mega Man then mentioned that after dealing with several crises back to back, he thinks things might actually be back to normal. Guts Man and Concrete Man then arrive and explain that they need Mega Man's help (as he's back to being a robot helper), as they ran out of materials before they could fully complete the repairwork for the lab's east wing.
