Bass notices how strong MegaMan became and appears to fight against him. Kei Yūki says he formed a partnership with Bass to obtain the HubStyle, but during the battle, Bass deleted Grave so it won't stay in the way and Kei is knocked out by him. Roll and GutsMan jack out, and without Grave, MegaMan and Bass can fight without distractions.
  • Chapter 2: The Scar that Won't Fade (消えない傷あと) - MegaMan and Bass have a fierce battle. Ribitta broadcasts the battle and Lan's father recognize Bass, explaining to the other scientists with him that Bass can copy the abilities of his enemies.

  • Chapter 3: Gamble it on this One!! (この1本にかけろ!!) - MegaMan lost the HubStyle, the synchronization broke and Lan is unconscious. MegaMan is badly injured by Bass, and Bass tells him part of his story, not trusting humans and having great hatred. MegaMan says he is wrong and he believes on Lan. A helicopter appears to rescue the passengers. Chaud leaves Kei with Lan's friends saying he is under arrest and that there are three members of Grave unconscious in the bridge, going after Lan afterward. He found Lan and tries to take him out, leaving the PET behind, but he awakes and helps MegaMan. They use HubStyle again, but MegaMan is too injured to fight, so he decides to focus energy in one last attack, when Bass has his guard down to use Earthbreaker.

  • Chapter 4: The Shock of Being Called Powerless - MegaMan is having fun in NetCity with Roll and ProtoMan, when suddenly several fans appear and go after him, the NetNavi that defeated Bass. Mr. Famous enters the cyberworld and takes them out of the sight of the fans to test them, calling MegaMan and ProtoMan lightweights for failing. MegaMan doesn't accept it and goes after him. Famous says that if he defeat Punk.EXE he will give him a better score. Punk defeated him easily by using strategy, and Famous says MegaMan has no chance to survive the approaching crisis.
  • Chapter 5: The Crisis Right Now - Mr. Famous gather his students (three of them being Sal, Raoul and Tamako) to talk about an upcoming crisis, but notices one of them is late to the reunion. Lan and Maylu meet Tora, a NetBattler from Swapopolis, and says he is far away from his home for top secret reasons. Suddenly, a machine is set on fire and MegaMan verifies what is wrong, and finds FireMan inside. Mr. Match uses dark energy on FireMan to transform him into FlameMan. FlameMan is too powerful and MegaMan uses HubStyle, but FlameMan survived his attack and MegaMan returned to normal. Tora sends KingMan.EXE to fight against FlameMan and says MegaMan to leave the battle for him. MegaMan wants to help, but Mr. Famous appears and explains Lan the HubStyle vanishes when used against dark energy, so he would not stand a chance.

Volume 6[]

  • Chapter 1: Crisis on the Move! - KingMan defeats FlameMan with ease, and Lan goes home sad because he and MegaMan had a lot of trouble to obtain and control HubStyle, and it was useless, and they sleep. Meanwhile, ProtoMan and Chaud are training in the Undernet, and a strange NetNavi appear to talk with them about an incoming crisis. In the morning, Lan and MegaMan awakens and they are surprised to see MegaMan is outside the PET. NetNavis have materialized in the real world. Tora and KingMan are in Lan's house and says Mr. Famous sent them to check the phenomenon, and it is likely not only NetNavis will appear, but also viruses and dark NetNavis. Rei Saiko attacks the city with FlashMan.EXE and hypnotized KingMan. FlashMan prepares to kill Tora and KingMan while they are defenseless, but MegaMan and Lan use FullSynchro and deleted FlashMan by focusing the energy of HubStyle only in his right arm, similarly to how he did against Bass. Punk captures Rei and Famous decides to give Lan and MegaMan a better score.
  • Chapter 2: Return of a Sworn Friend! - Mr. Famous invites Lan and MegaMan to the Officials' center, and they meet with Kei Yuki. He says his real name is Sean Obihiro and it is revealed he was under the mental control of an unknown force. It is explained that the dark energy is the cause of the current events, and they must find its source and seal it. Suddenly, they are attacked by DesertMan.EXE and he fights against Punk and MegaMan. They try to ask for help but everyone else in the building was already defeated by him. Famous and Punk use themselves as bait to leave DesertMan defenseless so MegaMan can defeat him. Chaud and ProtoMan appear and destroy DesertMan, showing MegaMan that the lord of the Undernet gave him the sword Muramasa to fight against darkness, and he has the MuramasaStyle.
  • Chapter 3: The Destiny to Fight the Darkness! - Mr. Famous and Punk can't fight because of their injuries, and the Officials' center was destroyed.
