At first, it seemed as if Wily disappeared, when suddenly the lab's signal was intercepted, and Wily himself appeared on the screen. He even admits that the Double Gear System can be used for good if used properly, and then gives Mega Man the Rush Jet modification for Rush (Mega Man's robotic pet dog) with Mega Man then setting off to defeat the remaining Robot Masters.Īfter defeating all 8 Robot Masters, Auto attempts to locate Wily.
However, when the committee chose Light over Wily, the latter stormed off never forgiving his old friend for not even giving him a chance.īack in the present, Light ponders about his decisions back then, and muses if he had shown him there was a way to work together instead of telling him that he was wrong, they might still have been friends. Wily, however, stated that even robots who think independently would be mere tools to humans, but by giving them power and speed boosts, then humans would finally respect robots for what they are and any robot could be a hero with the Double Gear System installed. Light believed that if robots were given the power to think for themselves, they could be true partners with humans. After briefly warning Mega Man of its potential danger (with Mega Man accepting the risk), Light installs the Double Gear into Mega Man after several days so he can stand a chance against Wily's new army.Īfter defeating 4 Robot Masters, Light explains to Mega Man that the Double Gear system was partly responsible for him and Wily falling out. Realizing that Mega Man won't be stopped, Light reveals that he kept and repaired the prototype Double Gear System that Wily used to own. He then warns Mega Man that if Wily really has perfected it, the latter won't stand a chance, but Mega Man responds, still refusing to let Wily get away. Just as Mega Man tries to leave to stop Wily, Light stops him and explains what the Double Gear System is and what it's capable of. Mega Man demands Wily to release them, but he takes them to his Fortress to have them reprogrammed and fitted with his upgraded Double Gear Systems. Before they can escape, Wily uses the Speed Gear mode of his Double Gear to speed up the capsule and snatch the Robot Masters via tractor beam. Just then sweeping up off-screen, Mega Man rushes in to try to stop Wily, when at that moment the Robot Masters show up and Wily decides to use them as test subjects. Just as they finish with Block Man, Wily barges into the lab in his Wily Capsule and tells Light that he has perfected the Double Gear system. Light, Roll, and Auto are checking up on 8 Robot Masters (Block Man, Acid Man, Impact Man, Bounce Man, Fuse Man, Tundra Man, Torch Man, and Blast Man) for maintenance. He immediately puts his plan into action, swearing revenge on Light. Angry at being pushed aside and shut down, Wily destroys his prototype Double Gear and swears to Light that one day he will show the world he was right all along.Īfter the flashback ends, the scene cuts to Wily waking up from a nightmare (presumably the flashback) and suddenly remembers the Double Gear System. Despite Wily telling Light that they can't build the future on his so-called empty optimism, Light's research was chosen over Wily's because the Double Gear system puts an incredible strain on the robots that use it and could be dangerous in the wrong hands.
The committee is debating over choosing either Light's research of robots with independent thoughts or Wily's Double Gear system to continue work on. Wily when they were students at Robot University at the exact moment they had their falling out.
