Japanese cover and promo art for Mega Man X: Command Mission.

Script from the game Mega Man X: Command Mission. Fully-animated cutscenes are labeled by their titles assigned in the Sky Room, while other dialogue scenes are given unofficial descriptor titles.

Opening[]

GigaCity

(The game's opening depicts X, Zero, and Shadow being prepped for teleportation into Giga City to begin their mission, with footage of the future Resistance allies and the villainous Rebellion Army Cadre spliced in. It ends with X in Giga City, staring at the Central Tower.)

Chapter 1: Infiltrate Giga City![]

1-1: Infiltration[]

XCM Theater 1-1

(X, Zero, and Shadow approach the Lagrano Ruins, with a flashback to Colonel Redips' briefing.)

Redips: Your mission is to infiltrate Giga City and halt the activities of Epsilon's organization, the Rebellion. I'm afraid the team that went in before you has likely perished. You are our final hope. If you fail this mission, then we... We will have no choice but to launch an indiscriminate assault on Giga City. The whereabouts of Epsilon are unknown. But, we're getting an energy reading from a certain area of ruins. Survey the ruins first.

1-2: Analysis[]

XCM Theater 1-2

(X, Zero, and Shadow enter the Lagrano Ruins.)

Zero: Nobody to greet us, eh?

X: Just as I expected... the radio's useless.

Zero: I can't believe they sent only the three of to infiltrate this huge island. I mean, we're good, but I don't know if we're that good.

X: A large force would be cumbersome.

Zero: Keep things small and sleek, huh?

Shadow: I'm no great hunter like you two... But believe me, I know this island's layout.

X: Well we're in your hands, Shadow.

Shadow: OK, let's move. I know the perfect place for a hideout.

(A huge column falls, separating X from Zero and Shadow.)

X: Are you two okay?

Shadow: X, use those stairs. We'll meet up top!

X: This could be a trap. Be careful.

Zero: Finders, keepers for any goodies!

Exploring the Lagrano Ruins[]

Zero: We can't communicate to headquarters, but we can communicate to each other. If something happens, I'll be sure to contact you. Be careful.

(X finds a panel that disables security in Area 1F-West.)

Zero: X! Did you just operate something there?

X: Yeah. I found and activated what seemed to be a security terminal. It said that some lock was disabled. Did anything happen on your end?

Zero: So that's how it works! X, the door that you unlocked is... The door to the West block where Shadow and I are. The system is structured so that the door in West Block can only be controlled from East Block, where you are. The door in East Block can only be controlled by us here in West Block.

Shadow: In other words, X and I just have to control the terminals for each other!

Zero: Teamwork is vital if we're gonna get through this. Don't be late, X!

(On the second floor, Zero contacts X.)

Zero: X, do you read me? Go to the middle floor. I have a feeling you'll find something there.

(X finds four empty Reploid pods with the following readings.)

Pod: "Ultra Mobile Bobcat Reploid" Wild Jango. FM Modification System. Production process: ALL GREEN Roll out: OK

Pod: "Computational Humanoid Reploid" Dr. Psyche. FM Modification System. Production process: ALL GREEN Roll out: OK

Pod: "Super Heavy Cannon Reploid" Silver Horn. FM Modification System. Production process: ALL GREEN Roll out: OK

Pod: "Reinforced Light Armor Aerial Reploid" Mach Jentra. FM Modification System. Production process: ALL GREEN Roll out: OK

(Zero contacts X.)

Zero: X, how did it go? So, there one there also?

X: These must be the Reploid production pods Zero mentioned....There are 4 pods here. They've all finished production and the Reploids have already left the pods.

Zero: Shoot, I knew it. There are four pods on my side, too. Of course, all the customization was finished.

Shadow: This was my first detail with you, and I'm not optimistic about the future!

Zero: We're not getting anywhere with this. We gotta check the upper floor. The doors here have been destroyed, so there's no need to unlock them. I unlocked the doors on your side. Now we should both be able to proceed. Time to head to the upper floor!

(X finds two more Reploid pods.)

Pod: "Plasma Energy Reploid: Knight Type" Scarface. Production process: ALL GREEN Roll out: OK

Pod: "Unknown Energy Manipulator: Test Model" Epsilon. ***WARNING *** Error occurred during production. Reploid requires maintenance.

(Zero contacts X.)

Zero: This could be sticky. Two high-performance Reploids are complete. X... How are things on your end?

X: Two were produced here as well. One was... Epsilon!

Zero: What?! Are you certain, X?! Shoot! What do we do now?!

Shadow: Four high-performance units and eight combat units....That's quite a squadron. No wonder those who arrived first never made it back.

Zero: We'll continue investigating, X. But we'll have to act cautiosly. By the looks of things, I'd say there's something upstairs. We're going up to see what it is.

(X tries to disable security in Area 3F-West, but there is an error.)

Zero: X! The terminal on this side received a synchronization signal. On this side, the two terminals have to be operated simultaneously. I'll send three audio signals. Press X/A when you hear the third signal! Are you ready?

(X completes the procedure.)

Zero: Alright! We did it! Heading to the upper floor!

(A Preon Chaser enters to attack X.)

Rebellion's Guard: Government Maverick Hunter detected! Neutralizing target!!

Zero: X! When we used those terminals, we gave ourselves away! Engaging possible Rebellion troops! Commencing attack! X! Stay on guard!

(X defeats the Preon Chaser, obtaining his first Force Metal.)

Zero: Targets destroyed! I've never seen this kind of enemy before. Something must be upstairs! Heading to 4F to investigate!

(On the fourth floor, X is contacted by Zero.)

Zero: I've arrived at the central room. But... I don't see anything here. Looks like we can meet up here. I'll be waiting for you on the central floor.

1-3: Hippopressor[]

XCM Theater 1-3

X: Zero!! You're safe!

Zero: What took you so long, X? You know I can't stand to wait.

(Hippopressor bursts through the wall.)

Zero: Who the heck is this?

(X and Zero defeat Hippopressor.)

Zero: They just don't know when to stop! I'm getting back to the investigation. There was a door leading to the upper floor in West Block. Shadow has gone to check on the upper floor. I'll follow suit and catch up with him.

1-4: Epsilon[]

XCM Theater 1-4

(X and Zero reach the roof, finding Shadow.)

X: Shadow, are you okay?!

Shadow: Yeah... But look...

X: Epsilon?!

Epsilon: Indeed, it is I. Epsilon, the Rebellion Army Commander.

Zero: Well, well! So the great Commander came out just to greet us?

Epsilon: I have heard many things about you. The great Maverick Hunters... X and Zero. You truly are elite Reploids. Won't you fight alongside us, fight for a common vision?

Zero: Shut your trap, Maverick! You're in no position to make offers. This is three versus one, buddy!

Epsilon: Oh, but is it?

(Shadow points his saber at Zero.)

Zero: Ungh!

X: Shadow! No way!

Epsilon: Shadow is a believer. He understands our goals. I'll ask again: whose side are you on?

Zero: Okay, Epsilon... My answer is...

(X fires his X-Buster at Epsilon, while Zero rushes in with his Z-Saber.)

Zero: This!

1-5: The Cadre[]

XCM Theater 1-5

(Ferham has Zero's arm restrained with her whip.)

X: Zero!

Ferham: Silence! Show the Commander some respect!

X: Zero, behind you!

(Scarface readies his lance.)

X: Zero!

(Scarface throws his lance, but X shoots Ferham's whip away so Zero can evade. However, Shadow shoots Zero, knocking him off the roof.)

Zero: Agghh!

X: Zero!

(X rushes forwards, but is interrupted by a laser from Botos.)

X: Oh no.

Ferham: Ha hah hah.

Epsilon: Ha hah! Join us, X. 

X: I don't care what your vision is. You're still a bunch of Mavericks! And as you know, I'm a Maverick Hunter! Shadow... I can't forgive you...

Shadow: Heh heh heh.

(X faces off against Shadow, but instead shoots the floor and leaps off the roof.)

Ferham: Why, you... You won't get away!

Epsilon: Let him go. He will be back. My subjects! The time has come. To show the world our vision!

Chapter 2: Recapture Central Tower![]

2-1: Secret Resistance Base[]

XCM Theater 2-1

(X awakens in a maintenance bed).

X: Where am I? Ow...

Interception Squad Leader: X, you've come to. This place is known as 'New Hope'.

X: But, what about Zero...?!

Interception Squad Leader: Take it slowly, X. I don't know what happened, but you've taken some serious damage. This is the Resistance hideout. You can rest here.

2-2: X Wanted Dead or Alive[]

XCM Theater 2-2

(X climbs the Central Tower.)

Redips: X, can you hear me?

X: Colonel, I have some bad news... Shadow betrayed us!

Redips: What?!

X: The mission plans were leaked. They... they got... Zero...

Redips: X... are you OK-

X: Colonel Redips? Shoot! I can't get a clear signal in here.

(A feminine voice announces from a news board.)

Announcement: Federation agents have illegally entered Giga City space. Repeat! Illegal entry! Report any sightings of suspicious Reploids immediately.

2-3: The Bounty Hunter[]

XCM Theater 2-3

(X enters the North Plaza.)

Rowdy Reploid: Hold it. You're X, aren't you? I heard about you on the news. Sorry, but I had to report you.

X: You're with the Rebellion forces?!

Rowdy Reploid: I'm not a supporter of Epsilon, but shouldn't you, as a Reploid, support the idea of our independence?

(The Rowdy Reploid approaches X, but is destroyed by an attack from above.)

X: Huh?! Who are you?!

Spider: Trust me! I didn't do that for you!! I'm neither Maverick, nor Rebellion. But if I brought your head to the Rebellion Army, it would fetch a pretty penny!

X: A bounty hunter!

Spider: Well done, chump! That's quite a grasp of the obvious you've got there. Now let's rumble!

(X and Spider's scuffle is interrupted by alarms.)

Spider: Drat! I was ready to finish you off. We'll pick this up later. The more you run, the higher the bounty!

X: Wait!

2-4: Enter Aile[]

XCM Theater 2-4

(X comes across Aile.)

X: Hm?

Aile: You are the Maverick Hunter X, are you not? I am Aile. I am a member of the Resistance.

X: Okay, Aile. What's going on around here?

Aile: Well, if you've made it this far, then you've probably already figured out that the leader of our Resistance, Chief R, has been caught by the Rebellion Army.

X: So, you've come to rescue Chief R?

Aile: Yes, that is why I came to the Governor's Precinct. But alone... I will not stand a chance.

X: Well, I'm on a reconnaissance mission. Rescuing Chief R might be the best way to get the information I'm after.

Aile: Thank you, X! Well then, if you're going to help me...

(Aile rips an ID lens from his chest.)

Aile: You'd better take this ID. With it, you will be able to enter and exit the Governor's Precinct.

(Suddenly, three Preons enter. Aile gives his ID to X and shoves him through a door.)

X: Aile, wait!

Aile: There is no time. Leave them to me! Just go!

X: Aile, look at the condition you're in...

Aile: Please... You have to help Chief R!

X: Aile!

Aile: I will not let you pass!

(Aile self-destructs, destroying the Preons and caving the room in.)

2-5: Vow to Aile[]

XCM Theater 2-5

(X holds Aile's ID close to his chest, pondering his sacrifice.)

X: Aile...

Rescuing Resistance soldiers[]

Resistance Class 3 Soldier: Who goes there?! Did you say X? X...You mean the legendary Class S Maverick Hunter? Then... You must help me! My friends are trapped on the other side of this door!

(X enters the room to fight the Preon guards.)

Security Guard: You don't know when to give up. These guys aren't going anywhere. Your warranty is up! Take this!

2-6: The Bargain With Jango[]

XCM Theater 2-6

(Wild Jango stands in the Command Room.)

Wild Jango: Hmph! Lousy meddler. But you do live up to your name as a legendary Maverick Hunter.

Spider: A little too much for a common soldier?

Wild Jango: What?! Spider! So, you think you can beat him?

Spider: What'll it pay?

Wild Jango: Oh, so it's money, is it? Very well! If you can stop X, you can have as much as you'd like! In due time, we, the Rebellion forces, will rule over all! Once we do, there'll be plenty of money to go around.

Spider: I don't care who rules over who, but I could use a blank check.

Rescuing Jasmine, Cumin, and Saffron[]

Resistance Class 1 Soldier: Aile?! Yes, I see... Ever since Chief R took him in, he looked up to the Chief like a father. X, take this. It's the key to the Data Backup Room where Chief R is being held.

Resistance Class 1 Soldier: Those three in the back are loaded with goods. If you need supplies, just have them share their things with you. You don't know what kinds of enemies you might face, so be careful! Please... save Chief R.

2-7: Spider Returns[]

XCM Theater 2-7

(X approaches the Governor's Precinct, but is attacked by Spider.)

X: Wha?! Huh?

Spider: You've really stirred things up, X. Which is perfect, for my line of work!

X: Filthy bounty hunter!

Spider: The name's Spider. Now, say your prayers...

(Spider strikes X with a card.)

Spider: Too bad for you, but I can see you like you're in slow-motion.

(Spider notices that X dropped Aile's ID.)

Spider: This ID...?!

X: Don't touch that! A money-grubber like you doesn't deserve to lay his hands on that! That is all that remains of a Reploid who gave his life for his beliefs!

Spider: So he... died?

X: Yes, that's right... He sacrificed himself so Chief R could be saved and the Rebellion forces defeated. A creep who does dirty work for small change has no right to lay hands on Aile's soul!

Spider: So, he gave it to you after he died, huh?

(Spider looks into a security camera.)

Spider: Sorry, Jango... But I'm through with this job!

2-8 The Wrath of Jango[]

XCM Theater 2-8

(Wild Jango watches Spider from the Command Room.)

Wild Jango: Blasted bounty hunter! You won't get away with this! Calling all guards! Destroy both of them!

(Jango summons three Preon soldiers, who exit the room.)

2-9: Spider Reformed[]

XCM Theater 2-9

Spider: Yeah, I may be a dirty bounty hunter. But I won't defile a friend's soul! I'll take care of this trash on the way home!

(Spider runs to face the Preons.)

Spider: You get moving and help Chief R!

X: Wait, what do you mean?

Rescuing Chief R[]

(X enters the Governor's Precinct to save Chief R.)

Security Guard: Resistance fighters here?! Well, we're not letting this one get away!

(X destroys the Preon guards.)

X: Chief R, I'm here to save you.

Chief R: Thank you, but who are you?

X: I'm X. A Maverick Hunter, sent by the government.

Chief R: So you're X... I see. What about my men... the Resistance?

X: I managed to rescue a few of the imprisoned...But it's possible that others escaped during the attack. And... Aile sacrificed himself, to allow me to come this far.

Chief R: Aile...he did that?!

(Wild Jango contacts X and Chief R via a nearby monitor.)

Wild Jango: Hmph, my good friend R. So, you refuse to work with the Rebellion Army?

Chief R: I've already explained to you. You could scrap my whole body, and even the smallest screw would resist you!

Wild Jango: R! And X! You are utter fools to resist the future kings of the Reploids! Hmph! But enough. I believe that it's about time that you two...

XCM Cutscene Jango Beat Spider

(Wild Jango shows a wounded Spider.)

X: Spider?!

Wild Jango: Are cut down to size. I'll bring this whole building down to the ground too, right along with this dirty traitor!

Chief R: An explosive device?!

Wild Jango: You won't have a screw left to resist after this!

(Wild Jango cuts the transmission.)

Chief R: No...!

X: Chief! Can you think of any way I can defuse that thing?

Chief R: I can! If you go to the monitor room where Jango was, you can stop it! I'll stay here and tell you the route. Don't let me down!

Deactivating the time bomb[]

R: I'll guide you to the Command Room. Go there to deactivate the system!

(X travels to the command room, but is ambushed by Preon Bitmasters.)

Security Guard: X is here! Right here! Get him!

(Shortly after, another Preon squad attacks X.)

Security Guard: This is the end of the line! What can you accomplish all by yourself!? Just admit that you're finished! Here goes!

(X runs into another locked door. Chief R contacts X.)

Chief R: That door is probably locked. It can be opened by remote control.

(X approaches the Command Room and encounters another Preon Bitmaster.)

Security Guard: Intruder alert! Engage immediately!!

Chief R: The Command Room is through the left door. Watch out, enemies are present.

(X finds another team of Preons in the Command Room.)

Security Guard: The Resistance? Bah! I'd never let them shut down the Self-Destruct System. We will see to it that the Self-Destruct System is allowed to activate!

(X disables the time bomb, and Chief R contacts X.)

Chief R: Great job, X! We've confirmed the deactivation on this end, as well. Jango is trying to escape from the heliport on the upper floor! I've unlocked the door that leads to the heliport. Hurry over there!

2-10: Spider Joins the Fight[]

XCM Theater 2-10

(X faces Wild Jango at the heliport.)

Wild Jango: You cancelled the self-destruct?! You meddling Maverick Hunter!

X: Jango! What you're doing is wrong! I'm gonna take you down!

Wild Jango: You've got to be kidding!

(Jango attacks X, making him drop Aile's ID.)

Wild Jango: You're a fool if you think a single Maverick Hunter has the power to take me on! Hmmm...

(Jango lifts the ID.)

Wild Jango: Hmph, so you used this to sneak into the building!

(The wounded Spider hits Jango with a card, making him drop the ID.)

X: Spider!

Spider: Jango... Keep your hands off that. Creeps like you have no business touching it! Back off if you know what's good for you!

Wild Jango: You don't know when to give up, do you? Fine! I'll make short work of you both!

Spider joins the party[]

X: Thanks, Spider. You've really helped me out.

Chief R: X, you defeated Jango, didn't you?!

X: Chief R! Yes, I did, but... Without Spider, I would have been in trouble...

Chief R: I see. Spider! I give you my thanks. You fought for our comrade, Aile!

Spider: Aile... Aile was my partner... Back when I started bounty hunting. I goofed, and he got wasted for it.

Chief R: I see. Hmm... Quite a lucky coincidence that you were here.

X: A coincidence...? I bet Aile was the one who brought us together.

Chief R: How fitting.

Chapter 3: The Paper Hero[]

Tianna Camp briefing[]

(Chief R speaks in the Command Room.)

Chief R: We somehow managed to regain the base.

Spider: The base, huh... That's great, but what good does a base do us when there's just 3 of us?

Chief R: You're quite right. But I have an idea. 30 miles northwest, there's an old Force Metal mine on Tianna Island. Reploids at the mine who resisted the Rebellion Army are still trapped inside. It's essentially a POW camp.

X: So if we bust the Reploids out, they might join us?

XCM Cutscene Nana

Chief R: Yes, and there's one girl we really need, the system operator, Nana. If we could rescue her, she could restore functionality at our base.

Arrival at Tianna Camp[]

(X and Spider stand outside Tianna Camp Central Gate.)

Spider: That blasted R! Do this, do that! We get all the dirty work! And for no pay, too.

X: That's because R's a strategy Reploid. And you're just designed for fighting.

Spider: Yeah, I know. Anyway, I've got my own goals. That's why I'm willing to work.

X: Goals?

Spider: Uh, yeah. To blow the Rebellion Army to bits. No more working small-time jobs. Now let's move.

3-1: Enter Massimo[]

XCM Theater 3-1

(X and Spider come across Massimo at the Central Gate.)

Massimo: Hmm...

Spider: Hey.

Massimo: Wha-? Huh? Wait... You guys aren't Rebellion Army.

X: I'm X. Our Resistance opposes the Army.

Spider: Who are you?

Massimo: Me? Ha hah! I'm Massimo. Call me Steel Massimo!

Spider: Massimo... I remember hearing of warrior named Massimo fighting the Rebellion Army.

X: Then, you're on our side! Whaddya say, Massimo? Join us?

Massimo: Y... Yeah. So, first things first... Can you help me bust the 'roids out of this camp?

3-2: Nana and Silver Horn[]

XCM Theater 3-2

(Silver Horn approaches Nana in the Dark Room.)

Silver Horn: Anything to report?

Nana: No... Master...

Silver Horn: I trust that you understand... If you try anything funny, the POWs'll be turned into scrap!

Nana: I understand, Master Silver Horn...

Silver Horn: Good. The Rebellion Army owns you now. Don't forget that.

Rescuing Nana[]

X: You're Nana, the system operator, right? I'm X. I'm here to rescue you.

Spider: Wait a second, I'll let you loose.

Nana: When I noticed you were breaking in, I managed to reprogram the system so that the alarms wouldn't go off. I was captured... and they told me, if I didn't cooperate, they'd kill the POWs. I... I couldn't...

X: We understand. It's all right now. We'll rescue every last one of them.

Spider: Let's go get that creep!

Nana: I'll stay here and back you up.

X: Nana?

Nana: I can't forgive what he did. I'll help you the best I can.

X: OK. You check up on the Rebellion Army.

Massimo: Oh, and Nana... Is there any record... of me being held here?

Nana: Massimo... Steel Massimo, right? It says you were captured 10 days ago, and subsequently placed in solitary confinement. It also says that after 5 days of refusing to cooperate, you were executed.

Massimo: Executed?

Spider: So this means that... they killed somebody else instead? This is unbelievable!

Massimo is missing[]

X: Hey... Where's Massimo?

Nana: Um... about Massimo... I'm afraid that person may not be the real Massimo. He seems to be a little bit different from the one we have on record in the database. I didn't want to say anything.

X: I understand. Well, maybe he went to check on the real Massimo in the underground cell?

Spider: Yup. There was a route down near here.

X: Let's go check it out.

Nana: I'll stay here and scour the database for more information. Be careful, the both of you.

3-3: Entrusted with a Legacy[]

XCM Theater 3-3

(Massimo stands by the real Steel Massimo in the Deep Prison.)

Steel Massimo: Ugh...

Massimo: Oh... my...

Steel Massimo: It's... you...

Massimo: Oh my... What have they done?

Steel Massimo: This is what they do when you refuse to join their clan. Glad I left the armor in your hands.

Massimo: No! I'm not strong like you! Only the real Steel Massimo... Only you, in your strength, deserve to wear this armor! I'll never be as strong as you.

Steel Massimo: You... You... have much strength... You just don't realize it... You can be even stronger... than I was... Take... the armor... Be strong...

3-4: Battle with Silver Horn[]

XCM Theater 3-4

(The party finds Nana on the floor in the Aqua Coliseum.)

X: What the...?! Nana!

Silver Horn: So, these are the rats who were scurrying around our death camp? Hmph! Fools. How dare you resist the Rebellion Army?

Spider: So, you're the head honcho here? What have you done to Nana?

Silver Horn: Ha hah! Nana's been a bad girl... So she's being punished!

X: Don't you dare touch her!

(Silver Horn places a foot on Nana.)

Silver Horn: The weak ones have no choice... They should just obey the strong ones. Obey the Rebellion forces! The slimy vermin of the world... Must bow down to our power! Hm? Is that Massimo? No, of course not... I took that feeble Massimo... And turned him into so much scrap!

Massimo: "Feeble" Massimo?

Silver Horn: Oh, certainly! As feeble as they come! He refused to join us. So I tore him limb from limb! Riiip! Ha hah hah!

(Massimo punches Silver Horn, knocking him down.)

Massimo: "Feeble" Massimo? "FEEBLE" Massimo!? You sunnuva...!

Massimo joins the party[]

Massimo: Steel Massimo would never... Ever... lose to scum like you... Scum that uses force... to crack the wills of the weak! Once there was a man. He despised his own weakness, so he sought Massimo for strength. Massimo was a hero who used his strength to fight for the weak. I... I wanted to be like Massimo. As strong as Massimo! But now he's dead! What do I do now?! X... I... I... I'm a fraud...

Spider: Well, one thing is clear. Steel Massimo will always fight as long as the Rebellion Army stands. Right, Massimo?

X: Steel Massimo... Will you fight, together, with us?

Chapter 4: Gaudile Laboratory[]

Gaudile briefing[]

XCM Cutscene Gaudile

Chief R: This is Professor Gaudile. We could really use him on our side. Nana, please...

Nana: Sir. Professor Gaudile was a central figure and lead researcher at the giant Force Metal research lab that was here in Giga City. He's a renowned specialist in complex energy theories, and is also an accomplished engineer.

Spider: Where is he?

Nana: When the Rebellion Army caused the uprising, he retreated to the safety of his lab, and since then he has refused any kind of contact with both the Army and the government.

Spider: Which means... We'll have to sneak into a lab that's heavily guarded against intruders.

Chief R: That's true. But the Professor could help us strengthen the base, as well as helping us with our preparations to fight the Rebellion Army!

X: We've gotta get the Prof on our side before the Rebellion Army does!

4-1: Enter Marino[]

XCM Theater 4-1

(The party enters the Gaudile Laboratory, followed by Marino.)

Massimo: Hm?

X: What is it, Massimo?

Massimo: I thought there was someone behind me.

Marino: Well, whoever they are, I'm sure glad they took care of those guards. Now, time for a little treasure hunting.

4-2: Dr. Psyche[]

XCM Theater 4-2

X: What the...?!

Dr. Psyche: Gaudile! I've come for you. I've been nice, since we go back a while, but... You've brushed me off for the last time! You can't refuse the Rebellion Army forever. Eventually... you'll join us! Because now we have an ace in the hole.

X: I don't think so, pal.

Dr. Psyche: Whoah! Are you X? How did you get past the guards? Quit your bumbling and get them! Don't let them out of here alive. Turn the fools into scrap metal!

4-3: Cinnamon and Marino[]

XCM Theater 4-3

Marino: Wow, sounds like quite a scuffle. Now, where's that treasure...?

(Marino enters a door, finding Cinnamon.)

Marino: Hey there, kiddo. Do you live here?

Cinnamon: Yes. I'm Cinnamon. Hello!

Marino: Uh... I'm Marino.

Cinnamon: Can I help you with something, Marino?

Marino: Uh... yeah. I heard there was some treasure here, so I thought I'd take it off your hands.

Cinnamon: Treasure?

Marino: Yeah. That's my job. I relieve people of their valuables.

Cinnamon: I see. But... The Professor never said there was any treasure here.

Marino: Hmm... I wonder... Listen, kid... The treasure I'm looking for is called a Force Metal Generator. Have you heard anything about it?

Cinnamon: Generator? Why didn't you say so?

4-4: Enter Gaudile[]

XCM Theater 4-4

Gaudile: You can ask me a hundred times! Even a thousand times and it won't matter! I'll never help you build weapons of war!

Dr. Psyche: Gaudile... Epsilon is not trying to wage war! Surely you believe in the power of our common vision!

Gaudile: Enough! Leave me alone, Psyche!

Dr. Psyche: Gaudile. I know all about the Force Metal Generator you've been working on!

Gaudile: What?!

Dr. Psyche: I just have to say the word, and we could find where you keep it hidden, and take the Force Metal Generator for our own! You know very well the resources we have at our disposal.

Gaudile: Ah! Impossible...

Dr. Psyche: We know everything, Gaudile... You figured we were coming, so you came up with the brilliant plan of equipping the Generator onto a Reploid... who's hiding in another room! Right?

(Dr. Psyche begins typing at Gaudile's console.)

Dr. Psyche: So tell me, where is it? Which room? This one, perhaps?

XCM Cutscene Marino Cinnnamon Camera

(A camera feed of Cinnamon's room appears.)

Dr. Psyche: There it is! That's the Reploid! Now Professor Gaudile, just cooperate, and nobody has to get hurt! What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Hey, who's that?

4-5: Cinnamon's Secret[]

XCM Theater 4-5

Marino: Wow. That's the Force Metal Generator?

Cinnamon: The Force Metal Generator... is me.

Marino: Whoa. So I guess I have to steal you, then.

Cinnamon: Steal me?

Marino: Yup. It's my job, don't you remember? Now, come with me, Cinnamon.

(The camera feed returns.)

Gaudile: No! She's trying to kidnap Cinnamon!

Dr. Psyche: Kidnap...? The Force Metal Generator! No, she can't!

Meeting Professor Gaudile[]

X: Professor Gaudile? What happened?

Gaudile: Oh, Cinnamon... That blasted Psyche... He was after her from the start!

Spider: Hey pops, calm down, will ya? Are Psyche and Cinnamon with them? With the Rebellion Army?

Gaudile: Who are you?!

X: My name is X. We're fighting the Rebellion Army.

Gaudile: So you're... against them. Well, you should know that I won't help you or the Rebellion Army! I won't allow my inventions to be used to hurt anyone.

Spider: Well, let's talk about that later. For now, tell us what happened here.

Gaudile: Oh... Cinnamon! Psyche got Cinnamon! The Rebellion Army kidnapped her!

X: Professor, what exactly happened?

Massimo: We're here to help, Professor!

Spider: Listen Prof... we're not trying to earn favors, we just can't stand to watch the Rebellion Army mess with people!

4-6: Marino in a Tight Spot[]

XCM Theater 4-6

(Marino is shot down by Preon Elites.)

Dr. Psyche: He heh. Lousy thief! Thought you could escape Dr. Psyche?

Marino: No. The Rebellion Army...!

Dr. Psyche: Get her! Ha hah hah! Only we are worthy of owning the great Force Metal Generator!

Cinnamon: Ma... Marino! Marino! Hold on!

(Cinnamon begins healing Marino.)

Dr. Psyche: Ha hah hah! Incredible! So this is the power of the Generator! We don't need Gaudile anymore. I, Dr. Psyche, will make you into the perfect Rebellion warrior!

Meeting Marino[]

X: Whaddya think, Spider?

Spider: She'll be okay. She's breathing. Check it out! Sleeping Beauty awakes.

X: Who are you? What are you doing here?

Marino: That's my line.

Spider: We're from the Resistance. We're after Psyche of the Rebellion Army.

Marino: Psyche! Well, well. So, you're gonna find Psyche and kick his butt? I'm Marino, the petty thief.

X: Thief?!

Marino: Hey, if you're going to get Psyche, take me with you!

X: You? A thief? Why?

Marino: I don't care who this Rebellion Army is. All I know is I'm not gonna stand by while they steal stuff I could be stealing!

Massimo: Whoah...

4-7: Battle with Psyche[]

XCM Theater 4-7

Marino: Psyche!

Dr. Psyche: Huh? Lousy thief! You should be dead! And X, is it?!

X: Dr. Psyche! Your Rebellion Army days are over!

Dr. Psyche: Ha! Wretched vermin! I pity you, I truly do... You obviously have no understanding of how far the Rebellion Army can take Reploid technology!

X: You mean technology for war?!

Dr. Psyche: I'm wasting my time with you. I'll take care of you myself. Get ready to meet your end.

Marino and Cinnamon join the party[]

Cinnamon: Professor!

Gaudile: X... I must thank you. You've rescued my dear Cinnamon. But... I won't cooperate. Not with the Rebellion Army, and not with you. The Force Metal Generator... Cinnamon... Must not be used to wage war!

Cinnamon: X... Professor! I want to fight with X!

Gaudile: Wha-?! Cinnamon... What's gotten into you?

Cinnamon: I... I'm not being used. This is my own idea. We can't let people like Psyche and the Rebellion Army get away with this! I know now... That I must put this power you've given me to good use! I want to try and help my new friends.

Gaudile: Cinnamon...

Cinnamon: Please?

X: What's the verdict, Professor?

Gaudile: Well, lad... Perhaps Cinnamon is right after all. Dr. Psyche was a wonderful mind. The Rebellion Army destroyed him. We can't allow that to continue.

X: Thank you, Professor Gaudile. Looks like we have a new ally!

Massimo: "A" new ally? Don't you mean two?

Cinnamon: Marino! You're going to fight with us, Marino?!

Marino: But... a thief like me?

Cinnamon: Your past doesn't matter. I knew you had a good heart... that's why I let you kidnap me!

Marino: Aw... shucks...

X: Welcome on board, Marino.

Chapter 5: Maverick Hunters Join Forces[]

Zero briefing[]

Gaudile: I've given the transmitter a boost. The reception should be improved.

X: Patch me through, Nana.

Nana: You've got it. You're connected. Go ahead, X.

X: Colonel! Colonel Redips! Do you read?

Redips: X, are you all right?

X: Yes, sir. And I'm not alone. We're building an anti-Rebellion force.

Redips: Perfect. We have good news on this side, as well. We've picked up a signal at Point A6 on Giga City.

X: Zero! Zero's alive!?

Redips: We've made... momentary contact... with Zero... at Point A6...

X: Point A6?! Colonel?! Colonel! Nana, get us some info on Point A6.

Nana: Coming right up.

Spider: What is it?

X: Spider, where have you been?!

Spider: I've been... around. What's up?

X: Listen, everyone! Zero might... My friend might still be alive. He's...

Chief R: Another Maverick Hunter? Excellent. We need all the help we can get.

Spider: Okay, so where is he?

XCM Cutscene UlfatFactory

Nana: Displaying Point A6 on the monitor now.

Chief R: From the looks of it, it appears to be heavily fortified.

X: Let's move out!

5-1: Enter Axl[]

XCM Theater 5-1

Security Reploid: X?!

(As the Reploid leaps down, X aims his X-Buster.)

Security Reploid: Hey, X... Don't worry.

(A blue light surrounds the Reploid, transforming into Axl.)

X: Hey...

Axl: It's only me!

X: Axl!

Spider: Huh. An old comrade, is it?

X: Yeah... But Axl, what are you doing here?

Axl: I came to Giga City because I heard my shape-changing ability might have been invented here. I've been searching around for clues but, nothing yet.

Spider: Yeah, I heard they used to do a lot of research in this place. Back before the rise of the Rebellion Army.

X: So, they may have been working on Axl's shape-changing ability too?

Axl: It's a very specialized area... But I heard of a few other Reploids with the same ability as me.

X: I see. But with the Rebellion Army around, it's hard to investigate...

Axl: Yeah. Like I said, not many clues around.

X: Hey, Axl. Have you seen Zero around here?

Axl: Zero?! You mean the Zero?!

X: Yeah... We heard Zero was here and we came to find him.

Axl: I haven't come across him yet.

X: I hope he's OK.

Axl: I'm sure he is. Don't worry. Zero wouldn't go down without a fight! C'mon! I'll help you look.

5-2: Jentra[]

XCM Theater 5-2

(Mach Jentra watches on a monitor as Zero walks down a hallway.)

Mach Jentra: The intruder must not gain entry! Stop him at all costs!

Security Reploid: It's no use! Breakthrough imminent! Aaah!

(Zero bursts through the door to Jentra's room.)

Zero: So, you're the factory boss, huh?

Mach Jentra: Zero! So it was you! I'd heard you were dead...

Zero: You know me. Never say die. Besides, I wouldn't feel right about dying without taking your boss with me!

Mach Jentra: Well, aren't we peppy today! But you'll never reach our leader. You'll perish in this factory first!

5-3: X and Zero Meet Again[]

XCM Theater 5-3

(Zero struggles to stand against Mach Jentra.)

Mach Jentra: Ha hah. Done in already? What happened to all your spirit? Hmph! Well, make your last wish!

(Mach Jentra is struck by a blast, as X and Axl enter the room.)

Mach Jentra: Wah! Y... You!

Zero: X! And... Axl?!

Mach Jentra: Why you...!

Axl: All the Class S Hunters, together again! May as well just beg us for mercy!

Mach Jentra: Curses!

(Mach Jentra retreats into a hatch in the ceiling.)

Axl: Aw, man. We let him get away!

X: Zero! You're alive!

Zero: Good to see you too, buddy.

Axl: Hey, you two! Save the chat for later! We've gotta get down to business and go...

Zero: He's right! Let's get him!

5-4: Battle with Jentra[]

XCM Theater 5-4

(Mach Jentra laughs evilly in front of Duboar.)

Mach Jentra: So, you've come.

Axl: You won't get away this time!

Mach Jentra: Ha hah! You'll be the ones begging for mercy! Now, Duboar! Dismantle them!

5-5: Duboar Berserk[]

XCM Theater 5-5

Mach Jentra: Grr...

Zero: Now the Rebellion's prized soldier factory has closed its doors for good.

Mach Jentra: Fools! If I die... Duboar will go berserk. Out of control! Think you can handle... a few hundred frenzied Mechaniloids?

(Mach Jentra laughs before exploding, and an alarm blares as Preons appear.)

5-6: Axl Transforms[]

XCM Theater 5-6

(Preons continue to pour out of Duboar.)

Zero: Oh boy... This doesn't look good...

Axl: OK! It's all or nothing...

Zero: Axl?! What is he up to?

(Axl transforms into Mach Jentra.)

Axl: Duboar! Cease the attack! Cease the attack immediately!

(Duboar powers down, and the Preons freeze.)

Axl: Now!

(Zero slashes Duboar as X hits it with a Charge Shot, destroying it and disabling the Preons.)

X: Heh. I'm sure glad you're alive, Zero!

Zero: Yup, glad you're here, too! Me, X, and Axl, back together... We'll be able to show the Rebellion Army a thing or two!

X: Okay, Axl, Zero. Let's head to the base. I've got some introductions to make.

(X and Axl walk away, but Zero hesitates.)

Zero: Introductions?

Chapter 6: The Meaning of Friendship[]

6-1: Zero Goes it Alone[]

XCM Theater 6-1

Zero: You've gotta be kidding! These are your friends? They're the dregs of Giga City!

(Zero storms off, followed by X.)

X: Zero, wait!

Zero: Shadow betrayed us, remember?! The 'roids here could go Maverick and turn into enemies at any time! I'm sure you have your reasons, but... I'm going to work alone.

(Zero walks away.)

Massimo: He just needs time to adjust. He'll come around.

Gimialla Mine briefing 1[]

Nana: It's too bad Zero doesn't believe in us. Maybe we can find some way to change his mind. Oh! Incoming transmission! Colonel Redips!

Redips: Do you read me, X? Were you able to make contact with Zero?

X: Zero is alive! But he... He says he'll work alone.

Redips: I see. I'm sure he's got some kind of plan. Try not to dwell on it. In the meantime, we've received intelligence regarding a crucial Rebellion Army facility. Have a look at this. It appears to be a secret Rebellion research lab. There must be some important testing going on there.

XCM Cutscene GimiallaMine Photo

Chief R: Nana, are you able to determine its location?

Nana: Yes, but it will take some time.

Chief R: Get started.

6-2: A Strange Light[]

XCM Theater 6-2

(X notices a blue light from around a corner, and Spider emerges.)

Spider: Hey, X! Something up?

X: Yeah... Got a transmission from the Colonel...

Gimialla Mine briefing 2[]

XCM Cutscene GimiallaMine Map

Nana: Image analysis complete. The structure is probably near... The Aires Valley in south-west Giga City!

Gaudile: Judging by the size of it, it would seem likely that there's some major research going on there.

Spider: A secret lab, huh? Sounds like fun. Let's check it out!

Arrival at Gimialla Mine[]

Spider: The lab's somewhere around here.

X: Right... I don't imagine the Rebellion Army will let us sneak in easily.

Spider: Hm. Must be something important inside. Let's go!

(Shadow glares out of the darkness.)

Shadow: It's about time...

6-3: Shadow Arrives[]

XCM Theater 6-3

X: You!!

Shadow: Long time no see, X.

X: Shadow! You're gonna pay for betraying us...

Shadow: Well, X... I suppose you came here hoping to find the Supra-Force Metal?

X: Supra-Force Metal?! What's that?!

Shadow: You know very well. It's an improved form of Force Metal that the Rebellion Army is studying to help all Reploids achieve their ideal! You government lackeys can't have it!

Spider: Achieve their ideal? What is it that the Supra-Force Metal does, exactly?

Shadow: There's no need for me to describe the effects. Take me on and see for yourselves!

6-4: Zero and Shadow[]

XCM Theater 6-4

Shadow: X, surely you can tell. I'm stronger now. All due to the power of Supra-Force Metal! I swore allegiance to Epsilon for this!

X: You sold out your friends for that power? That's some "ideal"! All you Mavericks care about is power!

Shadow: How dare you call the great Epsilon a Maverick! X, I had hoped to gain you as an ally, but I hope no longer. I'll take your head, for Epsilon! It all ends here!

(Shadow strikes, but is intercepted by Zero.)

Shadow: You! You're alive?!

X: Zero!

Zero: Think you could beat me so easily? Shadow! I've got a big wad of payback just for you! Time for round 2! Let's do it, Maverick!

6-5: Sneak Attack[]

XCM Theater 6-5

(Shadow lays defeated on the floor.)

X: Man, am I glad to see you!

Zero: You're too soft, X. You always were. It only leads to trouble.

(Shadow stands to fire a sneak attack.)

Spider: Watch out!

(Spider takes the hit, retaliating with a card to destroy Shadow.)

X: Spider! Your arm...!

Spider: Guess I overdid it, huh? Ow...

Zero: Why?! I said I didn't need your help!

Spider: Yeah, I know. I heard you in the first place. Listen, there really isn't anything complicated about why X decided to make friends with a lowlife bounty hunter like me. It's quite simple, really. Just like why I saved you. Cause I felt like it, Zero. That's it.

X: But, now what? I guess we got to go check the lab. Okay Spider, you stay put with that arm. We'll check on you later.

Spider: Wait! Take me to the lab with you! Surely a group of Class S Hunters like yourselves can stand to have a little handicap along for the ride. And, like I said... I'm curious... About this stinkin' "ideal" of theirs!

Zero: You've earned my respect, Spider. Let's go.

(Zero offers Spider a handshake, switching to the other hand upon remembering his injury.)

6-6: Battle with Incentas[]

XCM Theater 6-6

(Incentas descends into the Central Mining Division.)

Incentas: He heh! So you've made it here. Not even Shadow could manage to slow you down, eh? I guess even with the Supra-Force Metal that the Commander gave him. He is, after all, just a Maverick Hunter who defected to our side.

Spider: Hey, isn't this the Rebellion Army lab?

Incentas: Fools! You've fallen right into my trap. Behold! I am Incentas!

Spider: A trap?

Incentas: Yes! There isn't a scrap of Supra-Force Metal to be found here. It was all misinformation, designed to lure you Resistance cronies in!

(An electric gate appears across the exit door.)

Incentas: You're trapped like mice in a cage. No other Reploid has the ability to warp into this structure apart from yours truly.

Zero: Incentas, you really think we're going to lie down and surrender?

Incentas: Ha hah! The amount of Supra-Force Metal I've applied makes Shadow pale in comparison! Come forth and meet your destruction!

6-7: The End of Spider[]

XCM Theater 6-7

Incentas: You're not bad... But you still have no chance!

(Incentas types on a computer, activating an alarm.)

Incentas: This place is set to blow in 5 minutes!

(X shoots his X-Buster fruitlessly at the electric gate.)

X: No good! Raagh!

Incentas: The door won't open so easily, fools! Four minutes left! Ha hah! Looks like it's time to make my exit. Farewell!

(Spider tackles Incentas and begins pushing him towards the door.)

Incentas: No! What do you think you're doing!

Spider: Even the Buster can't break through that. But the explosion from two 'roids ought to at least put a dent in it!

Zero: Spider, stop!

Incentas: Why you...!

Spider: Sorry, this is it. I have to do this! The rest is up to you, X and Zero!

(Spider detonates a card, destroying Incentas, the door, and apparently himself.)

Mourning Spider[]

Cinnamon: Spider...

X: If he... If Spider hadn't sacrificed himself, we wouldn't have made it back here.

Zero: Listen, everyone. Spider... he saved me by giving his life, even though I acted like a jerk when I said I wanted to work alone. I want to return the favor - No, I must return the favor! Please, let me join you! Please!

Chief R: Very well. If we all join together, we can defeat the Rebellion Army! For Spider!

Chapter 7: Block Transmissions![]

Vanallia Desert briefing[]

X: It's no good!

Gaudile: The interference has gotten worse. I can't make a connection at all.

Chief R: Too bad. Just when we need to report to Redips about the Supra-Force Metal.

Axl: And just as we're approaching the final showdown with the Rebellion Army.

X: Can't we figure out some way to stop their interference?

Nana: I have determined the jammer's location. But it's...

XCM Cutscene VanalliaDesert

Chief R: In the Onovan Desert!

Nana: The Onovan Desert is a death trap.

Gaudile: It's covered in the most treacherous quicksand you'll ever see. Once it gets you, you'll never get out! That blasted Rebellion Army... Quite a place to build a facility!

Chief R: We can't afford to send you in there...

Massimo: We have to go! Whatever the danger.

Zero: Yeah, every mission is dangerous when you're looking to take down the Army. Right?

7-1: Ferham[]

XCM Theater 7-1

(Ferham swoops in from the sandstorm, knocking X back.)

Ferham: You've come far, boys. But I, Ferham, am here to make sure... you don't make it a step further!

Zero: Then we'll just have to go through you!

Ferham: Oh, you're a brave one! I like that. But...

(X begins sinking into quicksand.)

Massimo: X?!

(Massimo grabs X's arm, but he begins sinking too.)

Zero: Massimo! X!

Ferham: Oh, goodness! Sand already got you?

(Zero grabs Massimo's arm, without sinking.)

Ferham: Keep trying, boys! But it's no use, I'm afraid! Ha hah!

(Ferham whips Zero, making him cry out.)

Ferham: What's wrong, kid? I thought you said you wanted to fight?

X: Zero! Let go! Save yourself!

Massimo: Do it, Zero! Defeat her, even if you have to do it alone!

Ferham: Now, listen to your pals! Forget about them, and come over and see me! C'mon, Zero. I know you want to beat me!

Zero: Don't worry, I'll beat you soon enough! As soon as I save them!

Massimo: Zero! Let go!

Zero: Shut up! I won't stand by and watch another friend go down!

Ferham: Well! You're no fun. I guess it's goodbye. This is the end.

(Ferham whips Zero again, causing him to sink with the others.)

In the facility[]

X: Zero... Wake up!

Massimo: We hit solid ground below the sand.

X: Maybe this leads to the Rebellion Army facility?

Zero: In any case, we're safe for now.

Massimo: And if we're lucky, they'll assume the quicksand killed us. Hey, I didn't know you cared about your friends so much.

Zero: I already have a debt to Spider. I didn't want to owe any more.

X: Okay, let's do it! For Spider. Let's go!

Botos and Scarface[]

(Botos stands at a computer monitor.)

Botos: Aha! X! What are you doing here?! Why, that Ferham! She goes off and acts on her own, and then she doesn't even finish the job!

Scarface: They were just lucky. Ferham is not to blame. This just means that you will have the opportunity to take care of them yourself, Botos. We're counting on you.

(Scarface's transmission ends.)

Botos: You think you're Epsilon's favorite? I'll show you, soon enough! Ha hah!

7-2: Enter Botos[]

XCM Theater 7-2

Botos: Ha hah! Welcome to your own doom! Boy, oh boy! You really must have fate on your side to have survived the quicksand! On the other hand, maybe not! Since you're about to meet your end by my hands! He heh!

Zero: You talk too much. Who are you, anyway?

Botos: Ah, yes! Forgive me! I am Botos. A Cadre of the Rebellion Army, who fight for the hopes of all Reploids.

Zero: Enough with the PR. Let us by if you know what's good for you.

Botos: Ha hah! I'm afraid I can't do that. Feast your eyes on this! Know what this is? Supra-Force Metal!

X: So that's what it is!

Botos: That's right, gentlemen! This tiny little bit of Supra-Force Metal...

(Botos applies the Supra-Force Metal to himself.)

Botos: Ha hah hah! Creates this much power! And with this power, I'll crush you feeble Hunters to pieces!

7-3: Botos Escapes[]

XCM Theater 7-3

(Botos rolls backwards comically.)

Botos: X! How did you get that strong!

(Botos drops a piece of Supra-Force Metal.)

Botos: Oh no! The precious Supra-Force Metal, that Epsilon gave me!

(Zero brandishes his Z-Saber at Botos.)

Botos: Whoa! Shucks! Looks like I've been beaten. You've won for now, Hunters!

(Botos runs to a teleporter and disappears.)

Massimo: What the...? That was too easy.

X: Cool! We've shut down the device!

(A transmission comes in from Hunter Base.)

Gaudile: X, did you destroy it? The interference is gone!

X: Yup, we took care of it. Communication shouldn't be a problem now.

Chief R: Good work, X!

X: Yeah, and... We have Supra-Force Metal!

Gaudile: Supra-Force Metal? You've really done it this time, X! If we analyze that, we can determine what they're up to! Come back quickly, X! We'll get prepared for the analysis.

X: OK! Let's head home!

Chapter 8: The Ultimate Weapon[]

Supra-Force Metal briefing[]

Gaudile: Hmm... This contains 10,000 times more energy than normal Force Metal!

X: But that means...

Gaudile: It would take a ton of Force Metal to make this. And only one place has that much metal. The Force Metal Refinement Plant.

Zero: Nothing to do here. Let's get moving!

Ferham and Scarface[]

Ferham: That can't be true, Scarface! I saw it with my own eyes! They were sucked into the quicksand!

Scarface: Yes, but Ferham... They hit bedrock underneath.

Ferham: That X!

Scarface: Unfortunately, it's true, Ferham. But this is as far as they will get. I'll assure you I will put a stop to them.

Ferham: Scarface! Wait! Leave this to me! I'll stop them this time.

Melda Ore Plant windows[]

Zero: This is some heavy security. What do you think, X?

X: Gaudile, do you read?

Gaudile: Yes, what is it, X?

X: I sent an image for analysis. ...Well?

Gaudile: Hmm, hard to say with just this shot. Try to get some images from other angles. Then send those to me.

X: OK! We'll see what we can do!

Missile discovered[]

X: What do you think, Gaudile?

Gaudile: Oh no! It can't be!

X: What? What is it?!

Gaudile: It's... It's a missile!

Zero: A missile?!

Gaudile: They're using Supra-Force Metal for the warhead of that missile!

X: What'll happen if it explodes?

Gaudile: The energy will be released instantaneously, affecting every Reploid in the northern hemisphere!

X: Affect them how?

Gaudile: The interference emitted by Force Metal will create a mass of Mavericks!

X: What?!

Gaudile: X! You must stop that missile from firing! Remove the metal from the warhead!

X: Roger.

8-1: Battle with Botos[]

XCM Theater 8-1

Zero: Hey!

Botos: Ha hah!

X: Botos!

Botos: Well, hello X! You're early. He heh!

X: We know all about what the Rebellion Army is trying to do with the Supra-Force Metal you got your hands on!

Zero: And there's no way we're gonna let you get away with firing that missile of yours! Not under our watch!

Botos: Clever! You even know about the missile.

Axl: We're here as Maverick Hunters, to put a stop to your devious plans!

Botos: Ha hah! Fabulous! But do you know about the warhead? We Cadres have the keys to the warhead, you see! The warhead is locked, unless you put the two keys together! Hee hee!

Zero: Fine then. In that case... I guess the only thing for us to do is just to take the key from you!

Botos: Ha hah! So, you really think it's that easy, do you?

Botos splits up[]

Botos: Strong, yes, very strong! But I... I can't let you beat me, not now! Ha hah! Until we meet again!

X: Not so fast!

(Botos splits into copies, mixing themselves up before they all enter different doors.)

8-2: Battle with Ferham[]

XCM Theater 8-2

Ferham: Well! I knew you boys were still alive. You don't know when to give up, do you?

X: You!

Zero: Oh great...!

Ferham: Calm down. Form a line if you have to! I'll make sure each one of you gets it!

8-3: Ferham Falls[]

XCM Theater 8-3

Ferham: Aah!

(Ferham falls to the bottom of the silo.)

Zero: Hey! She's one of the Cadres!

Axl: The key! Gotta go get the key!

Botos betrays Ferham[]

Ferham: Shoot! Those brats. Botos! Listen here... Don't be so quick to write me off.

Botos: Actually, Ferham, the fact is... The Commander made an emergency call. He wants us to gather up the Supra-Force Metal and retreat back to the base.

Ferham: Retreat?!

Botos: Epsilon wants to be sure they don't get their hands on the metal. So, Ferham... I'll need your key now.

Ferham: Wait a minute, the warhead key... is built into my body. I can't just hand it over! You'll need to get Scarface's permission...

Botos: Forget him! Now, Ferham, the KEY!

Ferham: Aah!

Botos: Give it to me!

Ferham: Ungh...

Finding Ferham[]

X: Strange. This is terrible damage.

Ferham: Ugh... Curse you, X!

X: You can't fight anymore. Now, give us the warhead key.

Ferham: The key! Agh... Botos...

Zero: Botos? He has it?

Axl: Are you serious? You mean Botos attacked his own teammate and ripped the key from her body?

Zero: That's what it looks like.

X: Okay, let's find him. She can't fight like this anyway. We should concentrate on Botos.

8-4: Fated for Betrayal[]

XCM Theater 8-4

Botos: Ah hah hah! I did it! I did it! With all this Supra-Force Metal, I'll be more powerful than Epsilon himself! Ha hah! Stupid Epsilon! Stupid Rebellion! Everything is for some dumb "ideal"! It's all a fancy pipe dream! The ends justify the means, and the one with the power wins in the end! Ha hah!

Spider?: I think you might be on to something...

Botos: Ah! Who are you?!

8-5: Stolen Supra-Force Metal[]

XCM Theater 8-5

Zero: He's dead.

Axl: Someone took the Supra-Force Metal, too.

X: Just what happened here?

Chapter 9: When Giants Duel[]

Intruder at Central Tower[]

Redips: Hm. You say they've taken the Supra-Force Metal weapon somewhere?

X: Yes, Colonel... The Supra-Force Metal is extremely dangerous. It must be dealt with.

Redips: Well, now that the interference has been eliminated, we'll be able to lend you our support. I'm planning to lead a unit straight into Giga City myself. We'll help find the Supra-Force Metal. X, go to the Rebellion Army HQ and...

X: What's that?

Nana: Intruder alert! It's an attack!

9-1: Battle with Scarface[]

XCM Theater 9-1

X: Who are you?!

Scarface: I am Scarface, a Rebellion Army Cadre. I have come to avenge my fallen comrades, and to take back the Supra-Force Metal! X! I challenge you to combat!

X: You want the Supra-Force Metal?!

Scarface: That's right! We need to realize our vision! It's essential. Now, return it to us!

Scarface retreats[]

Scarface: You're a strong one.

X: What is this ideal you're after?! And what does a dangerous weapon like Supra-Force Metal have to do with it?!

Scarface: The Rebellion and its Commander... Do not wish to wage war! Why pit Reploid against Reploid?!

Massimo: Yeah! Why stir up trouble?

Scarface: Because you deny us our dream! Commander Epsilon ordered us not to attack unless provoked. I've come here of my own volition.

X: When I fought you, I realized that you're not the kind of Reploid that would use power to achieve crazed aims. So, why in the world would you use a deadly weapon like Supra-Force Metal, and risk creating Mavericks?

Scarface: A weapon? Yes, it can be used as a weapon. But, Supra-Force Metal was originally created to heighten the capabilities of Reploids. By using it to improve ourselves, we have the potential to evolve by our own will! Are Reploids mere machines? No! We possess will. We have life! We must take our destiny into our hands!

X: But... You're playing with fire. What if you cause a Maverick epidemic?

Scarface: Who are you to judge!? Only future generations will have the right to say whether we are truly Maverick or not. But, enough talk! X, I must admit you possess great strength. A pity we were not fated to join forces. Today I shall retreat. You had best pray we never meet again!

Grave Ruins Base briefing[]

Chief R: I have an update for you. We've managed to track Scarface down to a spot that appears to be the Rebellion Army headquarters.

Nana: Although it's hard to be sure when you're trying to track a stealth warp.

XCM Cutscene GraveRuinsBase

X: What is this place?

Chief R: Many parts of Giga City were designed to test the limits of Reploids. Believe me when I tell you, the Glacier is the harshest of them all.

X: Well, looks like we gotta go there.

9-2: The Throne[]

XCM Theater 9-2

Zero: Epsilon!

X: It's game over! For your plans, and your Rebellion!

Epsilon: So, the Maverick Hunters have arrived. If you think you've declawed us by securing the missile's Force Metal, you're terribly wrong!

Zero: What?!

Epsilon: We still have Supra-Force Metal here! After we dispose of you, we'll use it in the warhead!

X: I don't think so. Not if we have anything to say about it!

(X fires his X-Buster, but Scarface leaps in the way.)

Epsilon: Scarface!

Scarface: Commander, please leave this to me. That rat, X... He learns new powers as he fights. If you were to somehow lose this fight, where would we be then?!

Epsilon: Out of the way, Scarface! Or are you suggesting I would lose?

Scarface: You alone carry the Rebellion Army torch! Commander Epsilon, you are the embodiment of our beliefs! Make the choice to live another day!

Zero: We won't let you get away, Epsilon! Your fun and games have come to an end!

Scarface: I beseech you, Commander... Allow me to demonstrate the depth of my faith!

9-3: Battle with Epsilon[]

XCM Theater 9-3

Scarface: Glory to the Rebellion!

(Scarface explodes.)

Epsilon: I can see you are determined. But, Scarface... I will not run from this fight. For I know that this bridge must be crossed to achieve our ideal. They will tremble before the power... of Epsilon!

9-4: The End of Epsilon[]

XCM Theater 9-4

X: Why?! Why create something as dangerous as the Supra-Force Metal missile?!

Epsilon: For power. Without power... our ideas will be ignored.

X: What?! There must be a better way...

Epsilon: The Federation has labeled us Maverick. What other options do we have?! As long as I am in operation, I will...

Zero: Now, X... Shoot!!

(X fires a Charge Shot at Epsilon, destroying him.)

X: So, this is Epsilon's Supra-Force Metal?

Zero: Despite all their big talk, the Rebellion Army's actions were still Maverick.

Axl: They put the Earth itself at risk.

Zero: We did the right thing.

(Redips enters the room.)

Redips: I picked up the vibrations of Supra-Force Metal here.

X: Colonel Redips!

Redips: What happened to the metal?

X: Here, Colonel. Epsilon had it, but we retrieved it.

Redips: So this is it... You have performed splendidly! You are to be commended, X.

X: Thank you, sir.

Redips: Now, men... Return to base. A plane will arrive for you shortly.

Final Chapter: In the Name of JUSTICE[]

10-1: Air Strike[]

XCM Theater 10-1

Axl: It's here!

Zero: We've completed our mission objective. That's all that matters, right?

X: Yeah, I guess, but... what are we gonna do about the rest of the Supra-Force Metal?

Zero: Well, from what Epsilon told us, it seems that the Rebellion Army hadn't yet retrieved the Supra-Force Metal from the warhead. So I don't think we need to worry about that thing going off for the time being.

Axl: Well, with the Rebellion Army finished, and the Federation Army able to operate here, Colonel Redips can search for it.

(Chief R waves at the Federation plane, only to be suddenly shot down by its turrets.)

Zero: What?

X: Huh?

(Red Hubcaps exit the aircraft and open fire on the Resistance, forcing them to fire back.)

Announcement from Redips[]

Redips: Now, we no longer have to fear the traitors, led by X, who conspired with the Rebellion Army for Supra-Force Metal. My followers, peace has prevailed! Peace for all Reploids like us!

Zero: What the heck?! What's going on?

Axl: All I know for sure... Is that Colonel Redips has betrayed us!

X: Redips is obviously planning to do something with the Supra-Force Metal.

Zero: And it's not like we can actually walk up and ask him what he's up to or anything...

Axl: Well, we've gotta do something!

Report to Redips[]

Redips: What is this?

Federation Army: Intruders have breached the building!

Redips: Hmph! Remnants of the Rebellion Army?! No matter. Surely just some Mavericks. Do not hesitate to destroy them! Soon... Very soon... my power will be infinite! Then... no one can stop me! Ha hah!

Boss Rush[]

X: It's Jango! It's gotta be him.

Axl: Someone used a chameleon ability like mine and copied Jango's abilities.

Zero: But... Why an Army Cadre imposter here?

Axl: So what we know is that somebody with a copy ability was in Giga City...

Zero: Hmm, something fishy's going on here. This could be bigger than we thought.

X: Let's start by capturing Redips. Whatever it is, we have to stop him!

Depth Dragoon[]

Depth Dragoon: Oh! Yes, I see... I suppose traitors always travel in packs? First, you fail to steal the Supra-Force Metal... I thought Colonel Redips finished you off... What are you doing here?!

X: Move aside. Our business is with Redips. We're not interested in wasting our time with small fries like you!

Depth Dragoon: Well, even if you don't want to fight, I do! Stories of you Class S Hunters have always fascinated me... Now let's see if you live up to your name!

Encounter with Redips[]

Redips: Well, if it isn't X! Incredible. You're still alive.

Zero: How could you...! What are you up to?!

Redips: Me? Well, let's just say that... I'm in charge. I am the ruler of all Reploids.

Zero: You're what?!

X: Explain yourself. Under your orders, we went to Giga City, fought Epsilon, and successfully quelled the Rebellion Army. So that was all just a set-up?

Redips: He heh. I guess you could say that. But I really must thank you for defeating that pesky Epsilon... Making it possible to achieve my goal!

X: Answer me! What are your plans here?!

Redips: I told you! I am destined to rule!

Zero: You're insane!!

Redips: My, you Maverick Hunters are brave. Just what do you intend to do to me?

X: Redips! You... You... Maverick!

10-2: Transforming Redips[]

XCM Theater 10-2

Axl: Who would've guessed that Colonel Redips was a Maverick!

Zero: Blast! What were we fighting for?!

Redips: For everything, my Maverick Hunters. For your new ruler.

Zero: No! We lost R... And Spider... For this lousy creep!

Redips: Ha hah! Ah, Spider!

(Redips is surrounded by blue light, transforming into Spider.)

Zero: What? This... This can't be real.

Spider: My ears are burnin'. You talkin' about me?

Zero: Impossible!

Spider: Not impossible at all. Here I am!

(Spider strikes Zero with a card.)

Spider: I must say, it's been exhausting playing buddy-buddy with you twerps.

(Spider transforms back into Redips.)

Redips: It was for my ideal: for Supra Metal! Not a bad actor, eh?

Axl: That ability is the same as mine...

Redips: You foolish Maverick Hunters didn't realize it, but Supra-Force Metal can boost my shape-changing abilities, and increase my power to unimaginable levels! Taking me beyond all others!

(Redips steps into a teleporter and disappears).

X: No!

Zero: Spider was actually just Redips?! How badly have we been duped here?!

X: We can't let Redips get away! He must not use the Supra-Force Metal!

10-3: Battle with Redips[]

XCM Theater 10-3

Redips: Kneel down before your master!

X: Redips... You manipulated us so you could get your hands on Supra-Force Metal, didn't you?

Redips: You're right. You know how well Epsilon hides things. So, I took advantage of your top-notch abilities as Maverick Hunters.

X: Epsilon's ideas were dangerous. He knew all along that the use of Supra-Force Metal involved the possibility of turning Maverick. But at least he... was better than you. At least he wasn't a Maverick from the start! Redips, you're crazy!

Redips: He heh! Didn't Epsilon tell you... Only future generations can judge whether we are Maverick or not. It is only natural that Reploids that seek to evolve by improving their abilities. Evolve to rule the universe!

X: The universe?!

(The chamber begins to shake as Redips laughs evilly.)

Redips: Surprised? But, why should you be? My young subjects, you will be the first to witness the divine miracle! Ha hah hah!

10-4: Space[]

XCM Theater 10-4

(Redips has destroyed the entire chamber, transforming into Great Redips; he attacks the party.)

10-5: Final Confrontation[]

XCM Theater 10-5

Redips: Ha hah! Weaklings! Do you feel it? The ultimate power! The power of creation! Ha hah! To me, the very Earth is nothing but a tiny speck! One which I shall rule with an iron fist! Ha hah!

X: Not if we have anything to say about it!

(Redips knocks down X with a laser.)

Redips: Bow down, feeble subjects!

(Ferham appears, grabbing Redips' right-hand Supra-Force Metal.)

Redips: Hm? What do you think you're doing? You! Let go!

(Redips hits Ferham with a laser, but dislodges the Supra-Force Metal in the process.)

Redips: Why, you!

Zero: Now's our chance!

X: Redips!

10-6: Scores Settled[]

XCM Theater 10-6

Redips: Aaagh! My... Infinite power! This can't be! How could I lose?! Agh!

(Great Redips detransforms into Colonel Redips on the floor.)

Redips: Are you happy now, X?

X: Redips... What made you Maverick?

Redips: Maverick? You seem more Maverick to me, with all your stubborn nonsense about friendship and your unwillingness to evolve.

Zero: You don't know a thing about friendship, Maverick scum!

Redips: Stay in our place, be friendly to all, decade after decade... Indefinitely... Is this all Reploids will ever be? Some day... You'll see... We'll... Change the world...

Ending[]

XCM Ending Ferham

(Ferham stands with the remaining Supra-Force Metal.)

Ferham: Don't worry... I'll get rid of this with my own hands. Okay, X?

X: Yeah, okay.

(The elevator begins crumbling and falling.)

Zero: X, hurry! We're gonna reach the atmosphere any second now.

Ferham: X? I'm sorry for all that happened...

X: It's okay Ferham, just hurry and get rid of it...

(Ferham leaps off the elevator.)

Ferham: I'll take it to a place so far away that nobody will ever find it...

X: Ferham!

(X rushes to the edge, but can't reach her as she drifts away.)

X: No!!

(As the elevator begins reentry, X, Zero, and Axl get inside.)

Axl: We must close the hatch.

(Meanwhile, Ferham drifts through space with the Supra-Force Metal.)

Ferham: This is how it should be. I'll join the Commander and Scarface soon. Farewell...

(Ferham and the Supra-Force Metal detonate; on the Earth, Nana sees the explosion in space. Elsewhere, X, Zero, and Axl emerge from the elevator, which landed in the middle of the ocean.)

Post-Credits[]

Narrator: Year 22XX. A reconnaissance mission conducted by a team of Maverick Hunters successfully quelled a Reploid uprising on the man-made island Giga City. The Federation government determined the mastermind behind the rebellion was the Maverick Redips. Determination of the Maverick status of the Commander of the Rebellion Army, Epsilon, was deferred.
