 Despite Wily telling Light that they can't build the future on his so-called empty optimism, Light's research was chosen over Wily's because the Double Gear system puts an incredible strain on the robots that use it and could be dangerous in the wrong hands.Angry at being pushed aside and shut down in addition to being blocked by Light at every instance Wily destroys his prototype Double Gear and swears to Light that one day he will show the world and him he was right all along.After the flashback ends with Wily waking up disturbed (presumably the flashback served as a really bad dream), he suddenly remembers the Double Gear System.
