Worlds Unite - Part One
In Mega Man X's world, he and the Maverick Hunters head to Sigma's fortress, taking Axl and Zero with him, claiming that they stop the villian here and now. He dodges an attack by Vile, one of the ex-hunters, and Vile tries to hit him again, but Zero blocks his shot. X thanks Zero, before heading inside the fortress. Meanwhile, the virus Sigma is underneath a Genesis Portal, noting how Doctor Eggman had set things up for him by abusing the Zeti. X arrives to stop him, but Sigma escapes through the Genesis Portal.

In Sonic's world, the Blue Blur is running in Green Hill Zone searching for the Chaos Emerald, but runs out of land to run due to the Shattered World Crisis. He still uns down though, and finds a Flicky, and one of the Master Emerald's shards. As he climbs back up, he notes how they can't tell from Chaos Emeralds and the shards from a long range, and realizes they need to hurry and fix the planet. He is unaware of the Genesis Portal appearing above.

In Mega Man's world, he and Elec Man are restoring power to one of the generators in Light Labs. In Elec Man's mark, they restore the power, much to Roll's delight. Cut Man notes how fun it was to see Ice Man and Fire Man tag teaming as the heating and cooling units. Mega Man notes that after dealing with several crisises, things may be back to normal. Just then Guts Man and Concrete Man arrive, and Guts Man tells that they were almost done repairing the east wing of the lab, and asks Mega Man to get more materials, since they ran out of some of them.
