Mega Man Star Force 2 - Plot

Plot

The game stars a fifth-grade student named Geo Stelar, and his AM-ian partner, Omega-Xis. Set approximately two months after the events occurring in Mega Man Star Force, Geo has adjusted to life with Omega-Xis, and has made many new friends. At the beginning of the game, Geo is eager to receive a new transfer known as a Star Carrier that he has waited two months for.

One day, Geo and his friends decide to travel to the technological hub of Wilshire Hills in IFL City, where they witness a new device known as the Star Carrier at work. The Star Carrier is able to take radio waves and transform them into material objects, known as Matter Waves. While watching a movie, Geo and his friends witness an attack by a mysterious man named Hyde, who partners with an Unidentified Mysterious Animal, or UMA, named Phantom in order to wreak havoc. After fusing with Phantom, Hyde becomes Dark Phantom. When Dark Phantom is defeated by Mega Man, he flees, and from that point forward becomes one of the game's main antagonists.

Hyde is later revealed to work for Dr. Vega, a scientist who is obsessed with reviving the lost continent of Mu. She has allied herself with Solo who can wave change into his alter ego Rogue, the last survivor of Mu, and the UMAs to achieve this goal.

The game is from this point forward presented episodically, following a basic formula: Hyde and his UMA allies target humans that are unsatisfied with their lives, promising them power and influence. However, unlike the merge between Geo and Omega-Xis, these humans merge somewhat involuntarily and lose control of their bodies during the conversion. Mega Man has to defeat them in order to rescue the human from the enemy UMA's control.

After a few days, Geo goes on a date with Sonia Strumm to the museum. There, Solo appears and tries to steal the OOPArt, a device of incredible power which Dr. Vega seeks. After Omega-Xis accidentally eats the OOPArt, Geo and Mega start to have weird dreams where the OOPArt is trying to take over their body. Days later, Solo goes to Echo Ridge to recover the OOPArt from Geo. During the process, Solo and Geo have a Wave Battle in their both forms of Mega Man and Rogue. After the battle, Solo is convinced that in order to make Geo more powerful, he first must destroy his bonds, using a machine that makes a Black Hole; causing Sonia, Bud and Zack to disappear. Luna was rescued by Geo before she was taken away like the others. Geo tormented himself about this event, believing that he was not powerful enough to rescue the others. When Hyde kidnaps Luna, Mega Man has to use the OOPArt's power. Before he was eaten away by the OOPArt, Luna's voice gives him the power to take control of the OOPArt. Afterwords the power of the OOPArt is his to use.

Many events later, the OOPArt is taken from Mega Man and its power is used to revive Mu. The OOPArt has left some of its power inside Omega-Xis so he is still able to tribe on. Megaman finds Mu in the Bermuda Maze, and defeats the enemies inside (with some help from Rogue) and finds Dr. Vega. After Mega Man defeats Le Mu, Vega reveals her true motive. When her lover Altair (the only person she ever formed a BrotherBand with) died after being sent to war, she became bitter, and began to blame the world for taking Altair from her. To this end, she became a scientist, with her research leading to the invention of matter waves (and by extension, the Star Carrier). Using this technology, she was able to recreate a holographic image of Altair. However, he did not have Altair's memories; he was merely a hollow shell who nonetheless served Vega faithfully (hence the name "Hollow"). After learning about the lost continent of Mu, she began to make plans to revive it in the hopes that Mu's "advanced technology" would be able to revive Altair, leading to the events of the game. She asks Le Mu to use the last of his powers to drop Mu from the sky and crush the Earth below. Just then, Le Mu lets off an explosion that blows Mega Man and Dr. Vega away. Hollow saves Dr. Vega in the process, but dies. His prayers reach Altair who tells Vega to not seek revenge on the world and instead lead a happy life. Mega Man goes up to Le Mu and destroys him with the support of the voices of his friends. Just then, he collapses from exhaustion as Mu falls into the ocean. Geo wakes up to find out that Solo had saved him. However, he insists he didn't do it out of charity, saying "Your body got in my way, so I carried it here". Solo wishes to challenge Geo again one day and leaves as Geo reunites with his friends.
