Raika and Lan are instructed to work together to investigate what's apparently a ghost that's robbing banks and corporations. Unable to get along with each other, they decide to work independently. When the ringleader behind the thefts turns out to be DesertMan (who can make himself invisible), MegaMan finds himself in big trouble and facing a tough NetBattle all alone. Meanwhile SearchMan, against Raika's orders, goes in to rescue MegaMan. Raika is shocked that SearchMan has disobeyed his orders. MegaMan gains a new DoubleSoul power, Search Soul, and with it, he defeats DesertMan.
