The story starts with a recap of Mega Man (Rockman) capturing Dr. Wily after his last attempt to conquer the world, finally taking him to justice. Somewhere dark, four robots emerge from their capsules, and they attack the city alongside other robots such as Mad Grinder. Mega Man rushes to the area alongside Roll and Auto (Rightot) in the latter's half-track, and when he finds Dr. Light (Dr. Right) and Rush, they witness Dr. Wily's escape from prison. Mega Man attempts to stop him, but Wily's robots get in the way and he manages to escape. After defeating Mad Grinder, a mysterious robot attacks Mega Man. The two robots are evenly matched, but when Mega Man manages to land a hit, the robot introduces himself. Bass (Forte), and his partner Treble (Gospel), are also attempting to stop Wily.

Mega Man goes to the area and defeats all the robots in his path, eventually finding Burst Man, but he has difficulty fighting him.

The fight against Burst Man continues, but despite how difficult it is, Mega Man manages to defeat his opponent. Afterwards Mega Man returns to Big Eddie for repairs. The clear weather suddenly changes to a heavy rain, and Roll reports that one of Wily's robots, Cloud Man is responsible for changing the weather. Mega Man goes to the area controlled by him, but the rain caused by Tel Tel gives him trouble. Things change to his favor when he uses Freeze Cracker on a Tel Tel, improving his progress.

Without choice, Mega Man starts searching the area while fighting against his remaining forces. Bass appears and offers to assist him, but Proto Man also appears and says that he doesn't trust him, challenging Bass to a battle.

"Looking For the Truth" (真実を探して, Shinjitsu o sagashite) is the seventh chapter of the Rockman 7 manga. Mega Man stops battle between Proto Man and Bass before it gets serious.
