After ditching Yeti Blizzard, who refused to let go of Mega Man, he rushes off to save Hope, but fails to stop Dark Phantom from escaping with his mother. Joined by Lyra Note, the two pursue the UMA across the city, but cannot attack because Dark Phantom uses Hope as a shield. After cruelly taunting Geo with his mother's life, Dark Phantom scores a decisive victory against him and Lyra Note, but before he can finish them off a revived Yeti Blizzard intervenes. The two decide to rush the greatly weakened Mega Man, but he is saved by an unlikely savior: Hollow.
