Just after entering The Alternate Dimension. Note that this is not the first time.

The Alternate Dimension is an area in MegaMan Star Force 2. It is accessible after the player obtains the AltFutre item and attempts to travel to the Sky Wave.

Characteristics

In this area no humans exist, since it is a post-apocalyptic world, beginning in the alternate future of Echo Ridge. The alternative dimension is always gray, and is said to be the result of what the world could have become had if Mega Man not defeated Le Mu, but had Dr. Vega failed to create a Neo Mu Empire as well. In this world, Le Mu has an offspring named Apollo Flame, who wiped all humans off the face of the Earth, and converted the existing EM Beings of the planet into his servants.

History

After beating the game and pulsing out of Mu, an unknown person will mail Mega Man to go to Vega's hideout. Once there, Mega Man discovers a dark spherical object that looks like another world. The next time Mega Man returns to Echo Ridge and tries to go to the Sky Wave, he will discover a new portal leading to the Alternate Dimension.

Once he enters the portal, a Hertz will approach him for help, then a Taurus Fire look-a-like will appear, Geo thinks it's Bud, but soon discovers he is not. He will identify himself as Taurus Fire IF and fight Mega Man, but loses and is destroyed.

After looking to the sky by Omega-Xis' suggestion, Geo will notice that he's not in Echo Ridge anymore. Geo will then ask the Hertz what happened, and he'll explain that Echo Ridge was destroyed a few months ago, by "the weapon of Mu". Geo recalls the voice that he heard when the portal appeared and realizes this is not his world, but an alternate one where he failed to preserve Link Power, thus unable to prevent the "Precursor to Ruin". The Hertz states Apollo Flame is responsible, and that he's sleeping somewhere to recharge his power. It also tells about the Wavehole that connects to Apollo Flame. Omega-Xis suggests that they should take him down while he's recharging, then the area begins to shake. Omega-Xis orders the Hertz to hide somewhere, but before he leaves he asks the name of the one who saved him, Geo answers: "I'm Mega Man".

After finding the Wavehole, the duo encounters Dark Phantom IF, who will reveal himself as the one who mailed Geo. Phantom tells them about Apollo's plan to take over Geo's world, and also thanks them for "bringing the key to open dimensions", then engages in battle, but is defeated. His last words reveal that the Wavehole behind him would transport them to Apollo Flame, but it has been sealed by the "Seven Warriors" (later revealed to be the IF versions of all the EM Beings and UMAs they have faced, including Harp Note, Cancer Bubble, Queen Ophiuca and Gemini Spark). Phantom laughs, then explodes.

Wave

The Wavehole leading to General Auriga located at the Trans Dimension, which works like this world's Sky Wave.

After unsealing the Wavehole and warping through it, they find Apollo's right hand, General Auriga. They fight and defeat him, with the General saying he will wait for Apollo on the "other side".

They continue and find the IF versions of Kung-Foo Kid and Hollow, with the latter stating after being defeated that he has "done his duty". After collecting all Standard Battle Cards, they finally meet Apollo Flame, when asking why he tries to destroy the other world, he simply says that "there is no reason, whoever my mother was programmed me to do that, no other reason", then they battle him. After being defeated, he noticed that Mega Man's power not only comes from the OOPArt, but also from Link Power, saying "that's what the pathetic humans who used to live in here possessed". He also asks Mega Man to show him his Link Power by "collecting the six Badges" for what "you have to contend with despair.....and my henchmen..... and me.....". After he explodes, the OOPArt spirit appears, implying that "you have averted....... a future of destruction........ but should Link Power be lost, and your world will crumble". Geo swears to preserve Link Power and gets the Tribe Badge as a result.

Population

The Alternate Dimension is filled with nothing but EM Beings. Among them are the IF EM Beings, which are the same EM Beings and UMAs that Mega Man has fought throughout the game, but are no longer EM Wave Changed to a human or Murian and only serve Apollo Flame.

  • Oddly enough, after defeating Gemini Spark IF, Geo will show concern.
    • However, after defeating Taurus Fire IF, Queen Ophiuca IF or even Harp Note IF, Geo will not say anything.
  • Gemini Spark IF is the only IF EM Being who has the same personality as his present counterpart, this could be the reason Geo showed concern.
  • Most of the IF EM Beings seem not to know Mega Man, since at the time he talks to one of them before fighting, they ask "Who are you?. The only known exceptions are Dark Phantom IF (who mailed him), General Auriga, Apollo Flame and Hollow IF, though Auriga and Apollo may know him because they may have watched everything.
  • The player can get both EX and SP Mega Cards from the IF EM Beings after beating them a second time, with the same requirements for normal methods (Getting an S rank for SP, and an 8-9 rank for EX). Best Combos will also be recognized.
  • General Auriga is the only EM Being in the game that will always be at the same location after being defeated. However the next time he is fought, he won't have his motor army around him. When defeated, he will disappear, but will respawn after pulsing out.

Dialogues

A present

??? (Dark Phantom IF): I have a special present for you... Heh, heh, heh. You'll need to go to Lady Vega's hideout. Your present is there. Lady Vega's hideout is mobile and normally impossible to find, but just this once, I'll tell you where it is... At the moment, it is deep inside the Bermuda Maze. Heh, heh, heh... I've gone to all this trouble to tell you where it is, so be sure to go get your present.

(After Mega Man opens a portal to the Alternate Dimension.)

??? (Dark Phantom IF): ...Heh, heh, heh. Thank you. You have now opened up a connection to the parallel world! Everything is going according to the script!

Omega-Xis: Hey, kid! That voice is coming from the warp hole! Let's bust it up!

??? (Dark Phantom IF): Heh, heh, heh... Your role in this little drama is finished! The world belongs to us now!

Mega Man: What do you want? What are you gonna do!?

??? (Dark Phantom IF): I will see you... later.

(Taurus Fire IF appears.)

Mega Man: Whoaa!

Taurus Fire IF: Ahh! Following one Hertz leads me to an even tastier morsel!

Mega Man: Bud! What are you doing here!?

Taurus Fire IF: Buuud? Who are you?

Omega-Xis: Careful, kid. I'm not picking up Bud's signature in there... That's not Bud!

Taurus Fire IF: Enough blah, blah, blah from you two! I'm hungry!

Omega-Xis: Here he comes!

Taurus Fire IF: Argh! Argh!

(Mega Man fights and defeats Taurus Fire IF.)

Taurus Fire IF: I'm sorry, great Apollo Flame! Argh Argh Argh! Argh!

(Taurus Fire If explodes.)

Dark Phantom IF: Heh, heh, heh... I knew you'd come. I am Dark Phantom IF. It's quite a shame... There's no room for the two of you in my script... Everything is going according to our plan!

Omega-Xis: We ain't got time for a small fry like you. We want Apollo Flame!

Dark Phantom IF: Heh, heh, heh... My you're a pushy one... But this is the end of your insolence. The time has come for the extermination of you and your entire world.

Mega Man: ...!

Dark Phantom IF: Heh, heh, heh... Without any humans around, I've been looking for something to do. How generous of you to bring me the key to opening dimensions.

Mega Man: Grr...

Omega-Xis: Hmph!

Dark Phantom IF: Heh, heh, heh... You're one crazy hero! You changed the future to one of destruction! Hah-hah-hah! It's a farce! A tragedy!

Omega-Xis: Hey, kid! Shut him up so we can go find Apollo Flame!

Dark Phantom IF: Now, now... The audience shouldn't try to step on stage. The star of the play is always the strongest! Do you two really think you can stop me?

Omega-Xis: Here he comes!

Mega Man: Wave Battle! Ride On!!

(Mega Man fights and defeats Dark Phantom IF.)

Dark Phantom IF: Heh, heh... Hah-hah-hah! Even if you defeat me, your future won't change! The great Apollo Flame will awaken shortly! You may want to know that the warp hole behind me here leads directly to the great Apollo Flame! But unfortunately it has been sealed off by the seven warriors. You must eliminate them if you hope to unseal the warp hole. Of course, don't expect them to just roll over for you... Heh, heh, heh... A new tale has begun! I want to hear your screams of joy! Hah, hah, hah, hah...!

(Dark Phantom IF explodes.)

Omega-Xis: We don't have time for this, kid!

Mega Man: I know! Let's go!

Harp Note IF: Who are you? And what are you doing here?

Mega Man: I'm here to stop the return of Apollo Flame.

Omega-Xis: So you're gonna let us open that warp hole!

Harp Note IF: ...Is that so? I'm Harp Note IF! And I call the shots around here! If you think I'm going to let you make the rules, you've got another thing coming. Prepare to be deleted!!

(Mega Man fights and defeats Harp Note IF.)

Harp Note IF: Gyah...! You're the EM body Dark Phantom was talking about? Heh... The great Apollo will soon be awakened! I will enjoy watching you struggle in vain! ...!

Trivia

  • IF EM Being may stand for Indie Frag EM Being.
    • Another possible meaning for IF could be 'InFinity', 'Inverted Form', or 'what IF' (as to fit the Alternate Future theme: showing a different, possible fate).
  • If the player examines Bud's dog house (actually an advanced security system) while in the Alternate Dimension, they will find IndieFrag3.
  • Some ES in this world do not exist in the other one (i.e. Windmill at Messie's Cove, Bus Stop at Echo Ridge).
