In the manual, Dr. Cossack sent a message to Dr. Light, stating that he created eight Robot Masters (which consists of Bright Man, Toad Man, Drill Man, Pharaoh Man, Ring Man, Dust Man, Dive Man and Skull Man) in order to take over the world, in order to show that he is a genius. After defeating the eight Robot Masters and making his way up to the Cossack Citadel, Mega Man encounters Dr. Cossack at the Cossack Catcher. As the Cossack Catcher is out of health, Proto Man and Kalinka arrive at the scene to warn that Dr. Cossack had been working under Dr. Wily because the latter captured Kalinka.
As father and daughter reunite, Dr. Cossack realizes his errors and apologizes to Mega Man for the chaos he has caused.
