After all the introductions, Mega Man and co. made their way to Dr. Light's lab. Once they made it inside, they explained to the Doctor what has been going on, and why all of them have managed to appear here. Needless to say, he was really intrigued. Never before has he seen creatures from different worlds!


Dr. Light also explained to the group his past with Dr. Wily, and how they used to be friends. The one most surprised by this was Starlow.


"So all of you are from different worlds? That's truly fascinating!"


"I still can't believe you and Dr. Wily used to be friends."


The Doctor sighed, with many memories flooding back to him. He never wanted Wily to become the way he is, he really didn't.


"Those were simpler times. I didn't want to turn Rock into the robot he is at first, but he knew something had to be done."


Back at Dr. Wily's castle, Guts Man and Elec Man were ranting over why Wily always seemed to make copies of Guts Man. 


"What's Wily's deal with making copies of me anyways? I mean, I know I'm the strongest Robot Master there is, but even then, it's still pretty odd."


Elec Man groaned in annoyance.


"I'm just glad he didn't copy that giant ego of yours."


Guts Man started getting agitated.


"What was that?!"


Elec Man put his hands up in defence. 


"Nothing!"


We come back with the gang at Dr. Light's lab.


Even though Dr. Light was intrigued to see life forms from other worlds, he knew why that was the case. This caught the attention of the others, and they wanted to know how he knew what was going on.


"So, Dr. Light. How did you find out about all this?"


"Well, Albert was once again up to no good, so naturally Mega Man decided to stop his plans for world domination. Just as he defeated Wily, he was begging for forgiveness like he always does, when suddenly a ripple in the sky appeared. None of us knew what that was, but Albert used that as the opportunity to escape again. I told Mega Man to come back to my lab so I could give him a few tune ups. Suddenly, Albert took over the satellite stations and announced he had new plans for world domination. And not just this world, but others. That's when it hit me. That ripple must have opened up a portal to alternate worlds. So I acted quickly and had Mega Man follow Albert to the underground mines you were talking about, and you all know the rest from there."


Dr. Light let the group soak in the information, with everyone being silent. The CMC, Isabelle, Villager and Roll were playing around with each other. They weren't really sure what was going on, but it didn't mean they couldn't have fun right? Suddenly, Dr. Light's computer started making a beeping sound.


"Hold on. What's this? My computer's picking up a signal!"


Applejack took a look at the screen.


"What is it? Is it something of Wily's?"


Dr. Light tried to make sense of what he was looking at.


"It looks like a giant spaceship shaped like...a pig? And it's dropping some strange hybrid creatures. What are those things?"


Suddenly, all the airwaves change to a logo that resembles a pig nose.


"Attention, losers! It's come to my understanding that you've dealt with this lame-o Dr. Wily guy for quite some time. Well I'm here to let you know that you don't have to worry one teeny-tiny bit about him anymore. Oh no, what I have planned is much better than his stupid plan of world conquest. What I plan on doing is turning this world into a perfect little utopia under my rule! Anyone who doesn't agree to that will have to deal with my little pets! And in a world full of robots, I'm sure mine will be much tougher than yours! I've heard about your so-called hero, Mega Man. And I want to see exactly what he's made of. So if you're watching this, come to this location and show me what you're made of! And the grand prize is this shiny necklace that I came across. I don't know what it's worth, but I have a good feeling it's very valuable to someone you know. Don't keep me waiting! Spankety spankety spankety!"


"Wait a minute! That looks like one of the Elements! How'd he get his grubby little hands on it? Who was he anyway?"


Dr. Light scratched the back of his head in thought.


"I don't know who this man is, or why he's doing this. But he clearly knows about Mega Man and wants to test his skills out like it's some twisted little game of his."


Mega Man crossed his arms and frowned.


"I've got a bad feeling about this one. We don't know what he's planning, or what his real motives are."


Isabelle was more surprised by the fact, that this man wants to change the look of the city.


"Didn't he say he wanted to turn this city into a utopia of his? I thought this place looked really nice as it is. Why change all that?"


"I'll just have to ask him when I see him."


"Don't think you're going it alone, Rock."


The group could see a silhouette. It started to approach them. They weren't sure who it was, making Applejack go into a fighting stance.


"Who's there?"


"Don't worry. I'm on your side."


They could now see him clearly. Mega Man instantly recognised the red robot and his shield.


"Proto Man? Is that you?"


"I know you've dealt with Dr. Wily dozens of times by yourself, but you're gonna need back-up, and that's where I come in."


AJ began thinking that Proto Man may have more information about this pig like creature, and decided to ask if he did so.


"So what's the deal with this new guy anyway? What's his motive?"


"I'm not too sure about that. But I have an inside source who gave me a bit of information. He didn't reveal his identity, but for some reason, he was hiding in a garbage can. All he said is that the mystery man's robots can be dealt with using a technique called PSI. But I don't know what that is or where it comes from. I told him about how Rock saved Mega City several times, and if these new robots have exploitable weaknesses, then he'll have no trouble copying them."


Dr. Light wanted to know more about this PSI.


"What about the PSI he told you about?"


"He did say that a young boy with blonde hair and a striped shirt knows how to use it." 


"So we just need to look for the child that matches that description."


Applejack was ready to find the kid now.


"Well what are we waitin' for? We gotta find this kid and fast!"


"Let's hope we find him soon, or Mega City's gonna be in some mega trouble!"


The group made their way outside of Dr. Light's lab, and went to search for this "young boy with blonde hair".


Back with the gang at Yoshi's Island, Twilight was extremely fascinated by Ness' powers. She felt a surge inside of her to ask him countless questions.


"I have so many questions. Just who are you? How do you know who I am? And what was all THAT?"


"I am sensing a strong energy coming from him."


Ness chuckled at the mare's excitement.


"I'm not what you'd call an ordinary kid. I have psychic abilities known as PSI."


Dash turned her head to the side in confusion.


"What is that exactly?"


Ness then began explaining to the others, what had happened, for him to end up here.


"Well, I heard a voice one night telling me to come find you and when I saw you were in danger, I rushed here as fast as I could and did all those things you all saw."


Twilight was intrigued. She had never seen such abilities before.


"But how did you learn it?"


Ness put his hand on his chin in thought.


"I'm not too sure exactly. I think my Great Great Grandpa studied it. At least that's what my dad told me." 


"You said you heard a voice, right? I think I caught a glimpse of it earlier. It might have been Princess Celestia!"


"That explains it! She tried to contact anyone who could telepathically reach her."


Dark Pit rolled his eyes.


"Just what we need. Some kid comes in and saves the day. Woo-hoo!"


Dark Pit said in a sarcastic tone.


"He's not just "some kid", Pitoo. He possesses incredible powers and I think he could be of great help in this team. For a human, anyway."


Viridi exclaimed.


"I think I might know where the rest of your friends are, Twilight."


After hearing this, Twilight's face lit up.


"You do? Where?"


"I'm picking up some PSI energy from a place called Mega City. I think that's where the rest of your friends might be."


Dash did a loop in the air in excitement. 


"Great! So how do we get there?"


"It's in another dimension. Or rather it was. Because of the rip in time and space, it seems to be in a far off place. But I can get us all there no problem using PSI Teleport."


"You mean like a teleportation spell?" 


"In a way, yes. Everyone get close to me so we can all get there."


The party gathered around Ness as he prepared to use PSI Teleport. He got everyone to a wide open space where they could all run in a straight line until they reach enough speed to use it. Within the blink of an eye, the team left Yoshi's Island and suddenly found themselves in the futuristic metropolis known as Mega City.


"Well, here we are."


Rarity felt filthy, and didn't exactly appreciate that.


"Oh my goodness, we're all pitch black and covered in soot!"


Ness scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.


"Heh. Yeah, that always happens. It's no big deal, just shake it off."


"Hey, Ness. Is there any chance you could teach me to do that? I'm already the fastest thing alive, but you never know, right?"


Ness gave it some thought.


"Maybe after our adventure's over, Sonic."


The team then made their way to find their friends in the city.
