===Story===
A [[news conference]] is held by Professor Barrel Caskett and his old friend Werner Von Bluecher about the upcoming journey to the Forbidden Island in a large [[airship]] called the Sulphur Bottom to search for the Mother Lode.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Bluecher:''' As I'm sure all of you are aware, no one has succeeded in landing  on the island beyond this tumulus cloud and lived to tell the tale. No one, that is, except Professor Barrell, and myself. Thirty years ago, Professor Barrell and I journeyed to that island, and returned. Over the years, we  have been asked numerous times what we saw there. We have kept that knowledge to ourselves. But now, I intend, to give to you, the opportunity to see it for yourselves!}}</ref><ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Bluecher:''' Professor Barrell and myself are confident that the Mother Lode, which has been sought after by all mankind for numerous generations, does lie buried somewhere on this island.}}</ref> Barrel recognizes a reporter, Yuna, as his lost daughter, Matilda Caskett, who warns them of the catastrophe that could transpire if they pursue their journey.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' And you, Professor, tell me, what do you think?/ '''Barrell:''' Hmmm?  Well, I think...Huh? Matilda! You...you're alive!?}}</ref> Yuna escapes with her servant, a Reaverbot flying machine-like being named Gatz to break the windows for her escape.<ref name="yuna">{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' What happens to you is no concern of mine. Still, I'll give you this warning! What you call the Mother Lode is not what you think it might be! No, it's not a treasure at all--it's a catastrophe waiting to happen! Gatts!}}</ref> Ignoring her warning Bluecher continues to the center of the island.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Bluecher:''' Set course for the center of the island!  Engage! / '''Yuna:''' Looks like they're intent on ignoring my warning! / '''Gatts:''' Weapons activated! / '''Yuna:''' Remember, I don't want them hurt!}}</ref> Yuna orders Gatz to give warning shots but due to the hostile retaliation of the Sulphur Bottom, Gatz damages the engine, forcing the airship to descend to the island below.<ref name="master">{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Master:''' For 3000 years, I have been free from hardship and pain. A life of luxury and ease obeying my heart's desires. Seeing these people, grateful for the simple joys of life, I wonder, was I truly happy?}}</ref>
<ref name="master 2">{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Sera:''' Do not forget, the Master is the only true human remaining. The System exists only to protect and serve the Master. We exist for this and only this purpose.}}</ref><ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Guard:''' Emergency escape pod launch mechanism damaged! / '''Bluecher:''' What!?  No.../ '''Yuna:''' Now you've really done it! /'''Gatts:''' Apologies, Mistress Yuna!  We should retreat... /'''Yuna:''' They'll probably won't crash for {{sic|?|awhile|expected=a while}} at least...I hoped to stop them before they got this far...}}</ref>

Mega Man Volnutt and Roll Caskett watch the events from television and decide to rescue them.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Mega Man:''' Roll! The Sulphur-Bottom is being sucked into that storm! /'''Roll:''' gasp!  Gramps!/ '''Mega Man:''' What should we do!? / '''Roll:''' We can't take the Flutter in there...And we're almost out of fuel! We'll have to set down on a nearby island--we can figure out what to do then!}}</ref> With Roll's help, Mega Man makes his way to the center of the island and in the process releases a girl called Sera and her servant Geetz, both of whom go to the Sulphur Bottom.<ref name="sera">{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Sera:''' Very well!  Hmmm...One of the Carbon's ships! We must first recover the Keys to the Library! We can acquire and deal with the Master's Genetic Code Sample afterward! / '''Geetz:''' Understood.}}</ref><ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' Well, that's done it. They woke her up. / '''Gatts:''' The Carbons have decided their own fate. This is because, they've activated Mistress Sera. You've done enough for them, Mistress Yuna. You are required to relinquish the Keys to her.}}</ref> Geetz tells Bluecher and Barrel that the Mother lode can be accessed by means of four keys.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Bluecher:''' So what you're saying is, if you have possession of these four Keys, we can unlock the Mother Lode and save Mistress Sera?  Is that it? / '''Geetz:''' Correct. We are from the past, your ancestors. We are in a world we never made. We mean no harm. We simply desire to live out the rest of our lives, as best we can.}}</ref> Bluecher and Barrel ask Mega Man if he could retrieve the keys before the Pirates who heard their conversation with Geetz.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Bluecher:''' Ah, yes, well...Um...You see, Mega Man, I'd like to ask you to find and recover the Keys to the Mother Lode. I'm sorry to drag you into all this, MegaMan. But if we don't hurry, the pirates are liable to find the Keys before we do. Will you help us?}}</ref>

Mega Man along with Roll set forth to find the four Keys in the Manda, Nino, Saul Kada and Calinca Ruins, while battling the Pirates, most often the Bonne Family, along the way. When Mega Man returns with the final key to the Sulphur Bottom, Sera orders Geetz to attack the ship and take the keys.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Sera:''' Your primary mission is to recover and secure the Keys, then with luck, we will be able to salvage the Master's Genetic Code from Trigger's shell! /'''Geetz:''' Understood. Initiating Assimilization Program. /'''Barrell:''' What's happening!? /'''Bluecher:''' We've got to get outta here!}}</ref> Yuna appears in the ship and orders Gatz to fight Geetz. Mega Man stumbles upon Yuna, who then gives some reminder about his former life and explains to him the terrible catastrophe she was trying to prevent: Sera's plans for the execution of the "[[Carbon-based life|Carbon]] Reinitialization Program", meant to kill every human from Terra and revive the original humans.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Geetz:''' Mistress Sera, here are the Keys!  You must return to Elysium--this unit will follow after recovering the Master's Genetic Sample. / '''Yuna:''' Excuse me, I'm talking with Sera! / '''Sera:''' Geetz, go!/ '''Mega Man:''' The Keys! /'''Yuna:''' Now this is a problem. She plans on executing the Carbon Reinitialization Program! / '''Mega Man:''' Carbon Reinitialization Program? / '''Yuna:''' Basically, every human alive will be deleted, wiped out, and the Ancients will be restored! / '''Mega Man:''' What!? /'''Geetz:''' Please do not complicate matters further, Mistress Yuna! There are several preparations to be made. Please remove yourself from this ship at once. /'''Yuna:''' I don't know if I can do that! /'''Geetz:''' Comply, or this Unit will use deadly force. Your answer? /'''Yuna:''' No! Gatts, you know what to do! /'''Gatts:''' Are you sure, Mistress Yuna? /'''Geetz:''' Gatts, what are you doing!?}}</ref> Soon after, Mega Man reaches the deck of the Sulphur Bottom and sees Gatz defeated by Geetz.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Geetz:''' Mistress Yuna is also in error, abandoning her shell for a carbon's! That is no longer Mistress Yuna!  It's an abomination and a threat to us all! If you insist on following her I shall be forced to terminate you--both of you!/ '''Gatts:''' Waaah!  Master Trigger! I'm sorry! I have failed! You are our only hope!}}</ref> Mega Man is able to defeat Geetz, who, using his last forces, seriously damages Mega Man.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Geetz:''' This is all your doing!  If it weren't for you, this would not have happened! This Unit...cannot allow Mistress Sera to be harmed! Mieeeeeyaaaaa!!}}</ref>

While recovering, Mega Man starts to explore his past. In his dreams he sees himself and a man known as "Master" going to Terra and giving Mega Man his "Genetic Code" before dying and requesting that Mega Man destroy the system that can start the Carbon Reinitialization Program.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Mega Man:''' Take you there?  What? Wait!  I-I know him...he's the Master!  I-I remember now...I came here!  I came here to Terra with the Master! And then...then...uh....uh...oh...}}</ref><ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Master:''' This is, a good luck charm. As long as you have it, no one can stop or harm you. Return to Elysium. Delete all data from the Library, you understand?  Please, Mega Man.}}</ref> Yuna tells Mega Man to choose whether to follow what the System wants him to do or oppose it.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' He'll be all right. Though his memory is still fragmented, he can still download whatever he needs from your little monkey friend. Now, Gatts and I will get a pod ready that will take you back to Elysium. You can find both of us where you initially came to Terra. The choice is yours--the Master's final wish or, follow the path the System has chosen!  Find us when you make up your mind. See you!}}</ref>

Mega Man then takes a flight in a ship merged with Gatz heading for the planet Elysium with Yuna.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' How are we doing, Gatz? / '''Gatz:''' Engines are online! / '''Yuna:''' I had Gatz merge with the Shuttle Pod to repair it. / '''Gatz:''' Master Trigger, hurry! Mistress Sera will execute the Carbon Reinitialization Program shortly! / '''Yuna:''' What are you waiting for? Get in! / '''Mega Man:''' Yes, ma'am!}}</ref> In Elysium, Mega Man reaches the room where the Carbon Reinitialization Program is to be executed from. Sera then appears in the form of a robot to Mega Man and states that she did not execute the Carbon Reinitialization Program but has, instead, been waiting for Mega Man's arrival to challenge him in hopes that by defeating him she would prove that their master liked her more.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''OS Voice:''' Execution of Carbon Reinitialization Program has been paused, awaiting order to continue from Mother Unit. Execution of Carbon Reinitialization Program has been paused, awaiting order to continue from Mother Unit.../ '''Mega Man:''' (Paused? Why?) / '''Sera:''' I have been waiting for you, Mega Man Trigger. I could've executed the Carbon Reinitialization Program at any time, but I chose not to. Do you know why?  Unlike you, I cannot act against the System, I can only act within the parameters it defines for me. Indeed, I cannot think of anything beyond the System's limits. That is why I cannot comprehend what could have motivated the Master to attempt to destroy the System. I am jealous of you. You were close to the Master, you understood his thoughts in a way I will never be able to. Yuna chose to remove herself from the System, even though she is like myself a Mother Unit. I cannot do that! I've waited for you from the Master's Home. Perhaps by defeating you, who was so sympathetic to the Master's desires, I can purge myself of these, troublesome emotions!  Come then, Mega Man Trigger!Show me what a First Class Purifier is capable of!}}</ref> In battle, Gatz tries to aid Mega Man by attacking Sera's logic circuits, but dies in the attempt.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Sera:''' Gatz is, attempting to assist you, by invading my, internal systems!  I do not understand, a Servitor Unit such as Gatts should be unable to disobey the System's commands!  Still, a Mother Unit, like myself, is superior to a Servitor Unit! His sabotage attempts are, a distraction, nothing more! When last we struggled, Yuna imprisoned me beyond Terra! Perhaps this time, it will be you who is imprisoned!}}</ref> As Mega Man defeats Sera, Yuna arrives at the scene reminding Sera that it is not their Master's wish for her to die.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' Don't think you're going to get off that easily, Sera!  You were always too stubborn for your own good! If you had a shell, you could transfer your primary programs over, right?  Gatts is dead, he died because of your gamble! If you die as well, who will be left to keep me company? You can't fool me, I know you can hear me! Still going to ignore me, then let me tell you something!  Now that Elysium is no longer functioning, the old System the Master's people shut down has started to reactivate. It was your responsibility to monitor it. If you die, and it takes over, the Master's work was for nothing! Do you want that?}}</ref> Sera awakes in Yuna's real body and decides to help Yuna protect the Carbons from the machines that are being activated in Terra due to an old system Master tried to stop.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Yuna:''' There are remnants of that System buried all over Terra in what the carbons call ruins. There's so many even I don't know if how many there are. I doubt they've be fully active soon, but eventually they will. If we don't do anything, just imagine what will happen to Terra and all its people. If the Elders and their machines activate, what will your sacrifice here have been for? What do you say, Sera?  Are you up for living with the people the Master left behind? Could be a little wild, but interesting! / '''Sera:''' Perhaps it might be worthwhile.}}</ref> However, due to Gatz's death, Mega Man, Sera and Yuna are now stranded in Elysium with no means of transporting back to Terra any time soon.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Sera:''' I'll think about it, once we figure out a way, to return to Terra! / '''Yuna:''' hee hee hee...That's a very good point, Sera!  hee hee... / '''Yuna:''' So what are we going to do, Mega Man? If we can't get back to Terra, then I can't give Roll her mother back! / '''Sera:''' Is that the only thing you're worried about? / '''Mega Man:''' Ha ha ha!  Don't worry, Yuna! /'''Yuna:''' Why? / '''Mega Man:''' I know Roll! She'll come looking for us, no matter what happens!}}</ref> The game ends with Roll and other characters working together to build a rocket to rescue Mega Man from Elysium.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Mega Man Legends 2|developer=Capcom|publisher=Capcom|date=2000|platform=Sony PlayStation|quote='''Data:''' Sorry, Mega Man, but it looks like you might be stuck up there for a little while more! / '''Servbot:''' Looks like we both got our work cut out for us! / '''Tron:''' ...How dare you!?  Anyway, I wonder how Mega Man's doing?  sigh... / '''Roll:''' We have to get this thing working so we can go get him...}}</ref>
