The Return: Prelude to Ra Moon
After the events from the crossover Worlds Collide, Earth is restored to the way it was before the Genesis Wave, and no one remembers what happened. Mega Man is confused as all damage that Break Man did was undone. Mega Man tries to dialogue with Break Man, but he isn't interested in talking, using his buster instead, and they prepare to fight. Meanwhile, a confused Dr. Wily recovers in the Lanfront Ruins, with no memories of the Chaos Emeralds, Doctor Eggman, and their plans. He looks to his recent works to refresh his memory and argues with Ra Moon. Using its cables, Ra Moon reveals his past and plans to Wily. Scared, as well as left with no other options, Wily runs away from the Lanfront Ruins.

Meanwhile, Mega Man and Break Man continued their duel. Dr. Light and Roll get their way through several bystanders watching the fight with videocameras. Light informs Roll that Break Man might in fact be Blues, Mega Man and Roll's long lost brother, Roll scales the fire exit stairs of the building to stop the fight. She barely made it and informed Mega Man about Break Man's potential connection to him, her, and Dr. Light. However, she saw Break Man preparing to shoot Mega Man in the back and rushed to intercept it, to the shock of Dr. Light, Auto, Cut Man, Bomb Man, and Guts Man.

Ra Moon expands his electromagnetic pulse and, except for the Robot Masters that he created or repaired, all machines from the planet are disabled, causing several disasters. As Mega Man shuts down, Break Man can do nothing but silently watch the city fall into chaos with cars crashing, airplanes falling, and smoke coming out from several buildings.
