 So after infiltrating Wily's Fortress, we come across the doc himself rather quickly. Although, it seems he's not fully prepared as we caught him in the middle of making a meal. The reason he is so unprepared is because he thought we'd be preoccupied with the current chaos going on in the city. Robots are going berserk, including Proto Man. Priorities dictate we must stop this before we can put the doc behind bars, but he's at least willing to give us a ride. After a quick spout with the cops, we encounter the Red Striker himself, and of course fights us. After the fight, he appears to come to his senses and then Mega Man appears. It seems the reason robots are going on a rampage is because a giant shark robot is spreading a virus. So we got a put a stop to this.

At the very least, we CAN put a stop to this, as this chapter actually has two boss fights. The first time through, Mega Man will take Proto Man back to the lab and you hop on Rush to take care of the shark. But on subsequent plays, you can trigger an alternate boss by startling the police bot behind the blue door. This causes Mega Man to take charge in taking down the shark while we deliver Proto Man to safety. And to help us with this is a mysterious hero who longs for justice. But the cops seems to take issue with this as they chase us down the entire way. Our friend helps us out by giving us some weapons and power ups, but he accidently gives the cops some too. It all comes to  head when we crash into a barricade, and we end with a one-on-one with Fake Man, who fights like his Mega Man 9 self.

Meanwhile, with the shark, this is a 4 phase fight where we fight each segment of it. We are in flight controls here of course. The first section is at the tail, where we gotta destroy the missile launchers. The missiles it fires comes in 4 flavors: Red, the straightforward explosive. Green, which splits into two missiles upon detonation. Blue, which can freeze you but also drops weapon energy. And Yellow which drops health. After a certain point, a Joe on a turret will be deployed. Defeat him and he will drop the Laser Trident. A second one shows up later that drops Magma Bazooka. After dealing with the tail, we go to the underside, which deploys little torpedoes that charge at you. Magma Bazooka can make quick work of this segment, and each chute drops a power up. The first one drops Concrete Shot and the second drops an E Tank. The third phase, however, is not the head like in 9. Instead we are intercepted by the Changling Dragon. To defeat it, you'll have to extinguish the flames on it's body first, and then you can attack the head. Once the dragon is down, THEN we take on the head of the ship. This thing has 3 kinds of attacks based on the color in it's mouth. Blue is a straightforward laser attack at you. Red is an obstacle course of electric lines, and Yellow launches two spiral blasts that go up and down.

Complete either of these fights and the madness is over. Except not really, as the virus is still being spread, and now robots everywhere are gonna start going berserk. All according to Wily's plan of course. But little does he know, another Doctor happens to be working on a potential solution to this mess, alongside King and an old friend of ours.
