After Coton the Cyborg (ECO 35-2) defeated the liquid metal Supervisor in the previous game, she used her morphing ability to assimilate him into her own consciousness. Coton's thought patterns were cloned and used to bolster the artificial intelligence of the Supervisor, who used fragments of his consciousness in selected robots to imbue them with the ability to improve upon their own design. Electrocorp scientists, fearing that Coton had been defeated and that the Supervisor would now target the city, prepared a counter-virus based on EGO from the information Coton had sent them earlier. The Anarchy Virus was released to the main building of Electrocorp, and it infected most of the robots previously under Supervisor's control. The robots started battling each other, disconnecting from the neuronet, quickly depleting the numbers of the Supervisor's army. In the chaos, Coton uploaded his consciousness to another robot to attempt another attack on the Supervisor.
