The Curse of Ra Moon - Part Two
Picking up from the last issue, Mega Man and his crew engage four of Dr. Wily's Robot Masters in combat. Working together, Mega Man is able to recopy the weapons of Wily's robots and defeat them once again, leaving them alive for the time being. Break Man shortly returns and reports this new turn of events to Dr. Wily, who believes this might mean his robots aren't fully under Ra Moon's control. Wily then sends Break Man out to investigate the situation.

Before long, Mega Man's party encounters the rest of the Wily's first Robot Masters, while Quick Man and Shadow Man watch from the foliage. As they battle, Mega Man inquires as to why they condone a world-destroying plot, convincing the Robot Masters to stand down. At that point, Shadow Man makes his move, attacking all parties under the cover of the foliage and is only stopped when Quick Man takes a hit, allowing Mega Man to drive Shadow Man off.

As the group recovers from Shadow Man's attack, Break Man appears to help, explaining that the new Robot Masters will be fully under Ra Moon's control and offering a hidden passage way to bypass his forces. Mega Man agrees, leaving Cut Man, Bomb Man and Break Man to repair the other Wily bots while he, Guts Man and Rush head to finish Ra Moon. Unbeknowst to them all, one of Snake Man's Search Snakes has monitored the whole conversation. With this new information, Ra Moon sends Snake Man and Needle Man out to intercept Mega Man.

Short Circuits
Rock mistakes a couple of the new Robot Masters for Needle Man.

Trivia

 * Just like in Super Adventure Rockman, Shadow Man managed to stab Quick Man in the back. Unlike in Super Adventure Rockman, however, Quick Man does not attack Mega Man at all prior to this (in fact, he aided Mega Man after being stabbed the first time around).
