Wiley and Eggman joined forces and created a pocket universe with mixed elements from both their worlds. Megaman and Sonic ventured forth into the Skull Egg Zone, and even though the mad scientists have captured and roboticized Sonic's friends into Robot Masters, the heroes were able to turn them back to normal. Now with the heroes fighting off an army of Robot Masters from every Megaman game ever, Sonic and Megaman dash ahead to face the scientists themselves and rescue Dr. Light. Eggman catches Dr. Light trying to radio for help and determines he is too dangerous to leave alive..... and he has Metal Sonic toss him out of their flying fortress. What happens now?
The comic opens with Dr. Light falling out of the flying fotress and into the huge crater below. Megaman and Sonic panic and don't know what to do, neither of them being fast enough to do anything (not even Sonic?). Suddenly Shadow appears using Chaos Control to grab Light in mid-air and warp back down to safety.
Protoman tells Megaman that Light is safe and Light wants to speak to him directly. Light tells Megaman to keep up the fight and stop Wily and Eggman before they destroy both worlds. Tails manages to hack into the teleporters and the heroes warp aboard the Wily Egg. Light makes his own arm cannon from some of the broken robot parts lying around and helps in the fight.
Eggman returns to check on the battle and Wily is angry that he actually tried to kill Light. Eggman figured he's be happy to see his hated dealt with, but Wily says 'not like that'. He wishes to see him humbled and defeated, but not dead.
Meanwhile back in Megaman's world, Roll and Auto stabilize the portal to the Skull Egg Zone and Duo jumps through it.
Bass tells the Docs that Megaman and Sonic are aboard their floating fortress. Wily and Eggman send 'the Megaman killers' after them. Wily and Eggman conspire against each other, once they finish the Egg-Wily Machine X, they will finish each other off.
Megaman and Sonic race across all the traps and things, comparing them to the Death Egg and the Wily's castles. They say once they meet the robot guards they'll determine which bad guy the fortress is most modeled after. They find 'the bosses' which are Ballad, Enker and Punk, the Megaman Killers. Megaman and Sonic jump into the fight, but as Sonic smashes into Ballad, one of his bombs blows up right into Tails' face. Tails is in bad shape, and Megaman has Rush take him back to the others.
Duo arrives and finds Light and the others fighting off the Robot Masters. Light says he is most needed aboard the Wily Egg. Duo senses a strong force of evil coming from that ship. Aboard the ship, Sonic and Megaman run into the Chaos Devil, a deadly fusion of the Yellow Devil and Chaos. Megaman tells Sonic to go for the eye, which is Yellow Devil's weakness, but the giant monster sends Sonic flying through several floors of the fortress and then tries to drown him.
Duo appears and attacks the Chaos Devil, allowing Megaman and Sonic to advance. He also give them some of his energy so they continue the fight. As they make their way to the end, the see a 'boss door' with a Eggman/Wily symbol on it... and see Bass, Treble and Metal Sonic, ready to take them down. Now the boss fight has really begun!
My Opinions-
There's not much to say in this issue, except it's full of action. The intensity really hits the first few pages with Light in free-fall and noone being able to do anything to stop it. For a kids comic, the panels of Megaman begging anyone, ANYONE, to save Dr. Light... basically in tears as he's witnessing his father fall to his apparent death... wow. Just wow. Though despite Sonic panicking at seeing someone die and not being able to do anything to stop it.... can't he zip over and around the crater and catch him? He's SONIC after all.
Eggman on the other hand has shown that despite this being a kids book, has no problems being a cold blooded murderer. And yes, despite Sonic and his pals being cartoony looking animals, they're still actual living beings, and Eggman is trying his best to kill them. It's something we kinda handwave issue after issue since Sonic effortlessly destroys all his killer robots... but this scene did spark a big difference between the lengths these two madmen go through to achieve their goals. And I don't know, even though he's obviously a bad guy, one doesn't usually associate the word murderer with Dr. Eggman.
The rest of the comic is action and stuff, more of Megaman and Sonic comparing the differences and similarities of their games and such. There are references to past adventures that you'd also have to read in the comic series, or in the games. I found out the Megaman Killers were from the Game Boy Megaman games, which while slightly based on the NES games, were still full of different storylines and had original characters.
There are funny little details like Rouge trying to steal the big jewel off of Jewel Man's head, Tails using his own Sonic Spin Dash, which I don't believe we see him do too often in the comics, and Light becoming Mr. Action hero with his own arm cannon and Protoman's helmet. We don't see much of the Robot Masters other than random panel cameos as the fight rages on, since last issue was more of the big deal that started this, but we did see Rogue and Protoman have some trouble with Gemini Man and his clones. It's a very entertaining story and it's getting close to the end. We'll see what happens next...

Then we have Wily actually getting pissed that Eggman would try to kill Dr. Light, and not because he wants to kill him personally, but because apart of humiliating him and one day finally showing that Light was wrong and Wily was wrong... he doesn't actually want to kill the guy. That's an interesting thing to consider with Dr. Wily. While he does want to destroy Megaman, he just sees him as a robot, and I assume Wily does want to rule the world with robots.... but he doesn't want to kill people.
Eggman on the other hand has shown that despite this being a kids book, has no problems being a cold blooded murderer.
