Through Chaud's research, he knows more information regarding Colonel and his NetOp Baryl.[1] Meanwhile, a shift in time and space revives ShadeMan moments before LaserMan deleted him in Axess. He fights with Lan and Chaud, and Ms. Yuri helps, revealing that she, too, has a Crest of Duo.

MegaMan attempts to stop him but fails, receiving a painful bite on the neck as he falls.
