It is an altered reality that takes place years in the future. The characters went and returned from the same point, and although they don't remember it, the damage caused by Break Man was restored, Mega Man was concerned if the world was safe (after using Chaos Control), and Wily was angry enough to want to smash eggs for "no apparent reason" (Eggman).

Even if it is the actual future, it seems that some sort of "global time travel" took place, and I think it would be better to the WC event to be organized in the published (chronological) order.

What if the time anomaly in MM#20 is the Genesis Wave going to the future (getting bigger) to create the Worlds Collide event, and MM & Bass shooting it is what caused Xander to witness it before going back to his own reality? (Probably due to Chaos Control or whatever other reason, as he went further to the future, before returning) Xander's and Mega Man's experience aren't really easy to explain, but I guess that's how time travel is...
