The Space Colony "Eurasia" was taken over by Sigma. Sigma hired a mysterious Reploid, "Dynamo." Dynamo led the Eurasia into orbit toward the Earth.. Thus beginning the tragic Earth Crisis. Maverick Hunter Zero Taking the Earth's destiny into his own hands. one Reploid made a crash attack against the furious Space Colony... It was a successful attack, and the Space Colony was destroyed. But, although the Earth was saved, the huge explosion seriously damaged it. As for the battle against Sigma... X and Zero defeated Sigma and narrowly escaped with their lives, however Only one would return from the battle. A blue light.. X, still gripping a familiar Sabre in his hand. Three weeks later, at present... There is so much polution on the ruined Earth from the explosion that the Reploids can barely work. And... A man is... ->2.0 Opening Scene------------------------------------------------------\ (A Reploid scientist stands among the Eurasia wreckage) Gate: ... What happened? I heard they avoided the collision... ...but they might as well have failed... And for this, we should be thankful? This is not all... something else is going to happen. I feel uneasy. (Gate finds a damaged device on the ground) What is this? ...Hmm? This is... ...debris. But what from? ...Was there any violent battle here? I wonder how many people and Reploids were sacrificed? Um? Wait... Th... This is!... One week later (Gate is in his lab, experimenting with the device) Gate: Bwah ha ha ha! It's finally done!! I'm going mad and it is so... liberating! ...no. The plan has only just begun... I'm going to bring all low-grade... Reploids into submission! Those too simple to understand my work!! I'll build an ideal world only for Reploids... A wonderful world where I control everything! (At Maverick Hunter HQ, X has a dream of Zero) ???: ...E...x...x...X. Wake up, X. Now, you're the only one. There is no one else is left to fight. Get up now! X!! Alia: ...x...X! A giant Maverick is acting up! Wake up! I'll send the detailed info later. You rush to the scene! ->3.0 Intro Stage--------------------------------------------------------\ Alia: Most of the Mechaniloids became Mavericks... It's been a long time... Stay alert, X! X: I'll be fine since I have the Armor and Saber. Alia: Since I fixed the Falcon Armor very quickly, the dash function is incomplete. X: All right. Anyway, I will stop the Mechaniloids. Alia: OK. Go to the entrance of the ruins ahead! -->3.1 The blocked path--------------------------------------------------\ Alia: If the buster fails, use the Z Saber. X: Yes. It is the time to ask for Zero's power. -->3.2 Meeting two Hunters-----------------------------------------------\ X: There you are! Are you all right? Hunters: Beyond here is a giant Mechaniloid... It suddenly activated due to a radio wave problem. We are afraid and we got hurt... X: I'll take care of this. Return to the Hunter Base now. Hunters: All right. It acts like it's possessed. Be careful... -->3.3 After defeating the Giant Mechaniloid-----------------------------\ (A purple Zero appears and finishes off the mechaniloid) Alia: Z... Zero!? (Zero disappears, then High Max appears) ??: I knew Zero was doing this. X: Who are you!? ??: High Max... I am called... I'm investigating the Zero Nightmare. X: What! Did you say the Zero Nightmare? High Max: What are you trying to do? What is your connection to the Zero Nightmare? X: What about Zero? You are behind this! High Max: You are dangerous... I'll dispose of you. -->3.4 After fighting against High Max-----------------------------------\ High Max: Maverick Hunter... Not amazing. We will destroy the Zero Nightmare. You are not wanted here. Keep out. X: I could not inflict any damage on him... High Max. The Zero... Night...mare... Hmm, did I dream about Zero? What is happening? ->4.0 Isoc's Speech------------------------------------------------------\ Isoc: Attention all Reploids on Earth! As you all know, these are chaotic, disturbing times. The "Nightmare" is upon us. It shows Reploids a kind of "dream" for human beings... no. It's a "Nightmare". The Nightmare makes Reploids confused. In the worst case, they may malfunction or delete themselves. Due to the Colony incident, there are few Reploids or humans are left on the Earth... We won't accept sacrifice anymore! This would bring us to the Earth Crisis. Taking the matter seriously, we have sent investigators to the 8 suspected areas to uncover the mystery of this Nightmare phenomena. It's said that the Nightmare phenomena are cause by... a ghost of Zero... known as an ace Maverick Hunter... X: What!? What are you talking about! Alia: Wait, X. Let him finish his story. X: Ugh... Isoc: Now, I'd like to call on volunteers! Unite with us, and help our cause! Work for these eight investigators!! Our goal is to wipe out the Nightmare... and to delete the Zero's ghost! Come together for our future!! This High Max will lead the mission. We guarantee your safety if you join us. Both Maverick Hunters and Reploids now suffer. Let's preserve our future together! We're waiting for you! Everyone! X: ... How dare! He talks about Zero that way... Zero gave his life to save us! Alia: It can't be helped now. Actually we saw the Nightmare too. Shaped as Zero. So, we need to investigate what the Nightmare is. For now, leave Isoc and High Max alone. X: I wonder what are those "suspected areas" he mentioned. Can you find out, Alia? Alia: ...No. Due to a strong jamming. I can't look into it from here. X: So I've gotta go in there blind! Maybe I'll be able to feel the Nightmare directly. Besides, I'm suspicious of the investigators. Signas: The Nightmare... The mission is risky, but we must minimize the damage by uncovering and defeating it. As Isoc said, we cannot allow anymore Reploids to be lost... X! Return to the Hunter Base now! X: Roger! I'll be back right away. ->5.0 Maverick Hunter HQ-------------------------------------------------\ Signas: We are now beginning our mission to check the eight areas that Isoc had sent investigators to investigate the Nightmare phenomena! But considering the situation of the Maverick Hunters, you are the only Hunter who could accomplish these difficult missions. As we've lost Zero, you are our only hope... Can you do it, X? X: I'll do it. Alia: I've just obtained the report on the Nightmare areas and the investigators sent to the areas. However, the details of the situations in the areas are still unknown, due to bad radar transmission. Also, in case any changes occur in the Nightmare area, I'll show you by a red signal. It is difficult to predict what the changes are, though... X: That's okay, I'll know when I get there. I will discover what the Nightmares are and what Isoc's intentions are. Signas: Don't push yourself too hard, X. Remember you are our only hope. X: Roger. Alia: Ummm... X... X: What is it, Alia? Alia: Ummm... Nothing... Just be careful... Signas: Some Reploids may accept what Isoc says as true and come to the Nightmare areas... If you find them, secure them and then send them to the Hunter Base. The Reploids you have rescued can be surveyed here by pressing the R1 button. Douglas: And if you obtain any items, I'll process them into Parts you can use. You can equip the parts with the L1 button. Signas: Good luck, X! ->6.0 Encountering the Zero Nightmare------------------------------------\ (Commander Yammark's Stage) X: Who are you? I won't let anybody stop me. ??: It's me, X. Don't you recognize me? X: ... I know. You are just a cheesy fake. What do you want? What's in your mind? ??: X. I've been looking for my hunters... To wipe out! Time to die! X! (Ground Scaravich's Stage) X: Who are you? ??: X, it's me. Don't you recognize me? I was damaged so badly by the Nightmare that the color of my body has been changed... X: Stop it! You can't fool me! ??: You have become so insane that you can't even recognize me? That means that you have become a Maverick... As a Maverick Hunter and your friend, I'll retire you, myself! (Blaze Heatnix's Stage) X: Hey you! Quit fooling around! ??: I'm not fooling around... The fake me appeared. I don't know what's happening. X: ......... Shut up! I will not forgive you. Never! ??: Don't you know who I am? ......... ...Fine. You will be dead anyway. Heh heh heh, die! X! (Blizzard Wolfang's Stage) X: Stop this ridiculous game! You're crazy! ??: WHERE IS ZERO? WHERE IS HE HIDING? A BLUE ROBOT. ENEMY OF ZERO...KILL YOU! (Rainy Turtloid's Stage) ??: WHERE IS ZERO? WHERE IS MY ZERO!? X: Is he going crazy? Who is he anyway? ??: DESTROY... DESTROY... DESTROY YOU! (Metal Shark Player's Stage) X: Who created you? What for? Answer me! ??: I AM ZERO... X: ...You can't talk normally? ??: BLUE... LIGHT... KILL... KILL! (Shield Sheldon's Stage) X: I've found you at last! ??: Let's fight together to retire the Mavericks, just like we used to... X: Fine. The first subject to be retired is YOU! ??: So you've become a Maverick, I was worried that you might... I'll retire you, personally! (Infinity Mijinion's Stage) X: What do you think you are doing!? ??: Zero... Where is Zero...? X: You don't need to know that! ??: Ha! It is you who will be eliminated! ->7.0 After defeating the Zero Nightmare---------------------------------\ (Zero appears after the Zero Nightmare disappears) Zero: My reputation has been damaged while away... being thought of as some stupid toy... X: ... Zero? Zero. You're alive? Zero: Huh. So, X is alive, is he? Seems Sigma didn't defeat me after all. X: But I searched all over for your parts, your signal, but I found nothing, so... Zero: That is most unfortunate. I hid myself while I tried to repair myself. I had to wait until I was healed. Well, it's been an emotional reunion... But now we must face the Nightmare. X: If the Reploids are eradicated, then the mankind... no the Earth itself will face a crisis. Zero: Let's go, X! Destroy the Nightmare!! X: Yes. We will join hands... And never let anyone sever us again! Let's go, Zero! -->7.1 Maverick Hunter HQ------------------------------------------------\ Signas: I know that you have only just returned, but I need to ask you something... Will you help X and carry out the missions? Zero: It is my job. I am a Maverick Hunter... I have been away for a while... But I am ready to fight for peace! ->8.0 Dr. Light Capsules-------------------------------------------------\ -->8.1 Blade Armor Parts-------------------------------------------------\ --->8.1.1 Leg upgrade----------------------------------------------------\ (X): Dr. Light: X...

I can't understand the situation there from the Hunter Base. I wonder if the Nightmare caused this jamming. (X moves further ahead and finds a strange bug robot) Alia: It appears to be a transport Mechaniloid. It has a loading space on its back. (Further ahead, X finds a larger hovering robot) X: Alia! I got some unusual data signal. Alia: It must be the Nightmare! Stay alert! (X finds a Reploid in need of help) Alia: There are many Reploids everywhere who need help. You should search all over for them. (If X teleports to the secret boss room area) X: Is this the Amazon Area? Something is different... What's happening? (X reaches a dangerous spike area) Alia: The transport Mechaniloid can stand on the spiny trap. You can use it, X. Try to ride on it! (Just before confronting Commander Yammark) X: I got a strong data signal. It should be Alia: from an investigator. The investigator here is Commander Yammark. To be on the safe side, be sure to set up the weapon. X: All right. I'll do it. (X encounters Commander Yammark) X: You're the Nightmare investigator, Commander Yammark? Commander Yammark: Yes! I'm in charge of the Amazon area. Tell me! What is Zero up to? You must know something. X: Zero has nothing to do this! Stop accusing him!

I will delete you first! -->9.2 Playing as Zero---------------------------------------------------\ Alia: This is the Amazon Area. I can't understand the situation there from the Hunter Base.

(Zero finds a Reploid in need of help) Alia: There are many Reploids everywhere who need help. You should search all over for them.

An investigator was already... Gate: ... Destroyed by that Maverick Hunter. I know. It's shameful they can't beat that mysterious old robot... Isoc! Keep an eye on that Hunter for a while. Isoc: Yes, sir! Gate: Oh, how is the experiment going? Isoc: Everything is going great and the effect is brilliant. We achieved 99.98% success rate by now. This is an amazing invention. But, if you use High Max, in just minutes you can control all Reploids on Earth. Even the Maverick Hunter was no match. Gate: No. Continue the experiment for now. I want you to keep gathering data. Isoc: Yes, sir. Gate: By the way, have you found what you're looking for? I guess it doesn't exist in this world... Isoc: Oh, no. It does. I've seen him... Besides he isn't some low Reploid that would die in such a trivial battle. Gate: I'll admit he's as persistent as X. Alive or not, there are many options. Isoc: I'll find out for sure. Gate: Hmm. It doesn't matter to me. You are on your own. I don't need the "body of Zero"... Anyway, just do the work and keep an eye on X. Isoc: Yes, sir. -->10.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ Isoc: I have a report. Another investigator has been beaten... Gate: Blast... That old robot is tenacious. Isoc: You are quite right, sir. Especially that red Reploid... Zero has outstanding performance. I believe he will cause problems for us if we don't take measures now... Gate: I'm no longer interested in Zero. High Max will defeat Zero before long. Isoc: There is no doubt it will be easy for High Max... but we'd better make a move just in case. Gate: Isoc, I have been thinking about that. You're obsessed with Zero, aren't you? Isoc: No, no, I'm not... Gate: Then leave that old robot and focus on the experiment. Isoc: Yes sir, I'm doing just that. It's going smoothly and effectively. We achieved 99.98% success rate by now. So I assume the experiment is done. Gate: Then it's time for the next phase... Ha ha ha. It's going to be fun... Isoc. Isoc: I'm sure, sir. Gate: Keep an eye on those two Maverick Hunters. Isoc: I shall obey your orders. ->11.0 Ground Scaravich's Stage (Central Museum)-------------------------\ -->11.1 Playing as X-----------------------------------------------------\ Alia: You are now in the Central Museum.

What's this place? Alia, can you analyze where I am? Alia... Alia? Alia! The communications are out... X: The virtual area, again. Still... What was the purpose in the Nightmares transforming the Museum to something so different? X: I've reached an open area, but there are lots of strong enemies. I guess nothing is easy... X: Oh, no. What's this place? Alia!! Hm? Alia! ...I'm out of the transmission range? Where am I anyway!? X: I have been transferred again? How far is it? X: Where am I now? It's probably better to move than think right now... (If X teleports to the secret boss room area) X: Huh? What is this place? Alia? What just happened? (Just before confronting Ground Scaravich) Alia: It's been a long mission X. You must be tired. The investigator sent to this area is Ground Scaravich. Stay alert! (X encounters Ground Scaravich) X: Ground Scaravich! You must be the burglar of ruins! What are you doing here? Ground Scaravich: Well, well, well... What have we here... Why, it's Officer X. This is horrible! Why do I have to face someone like you here?! X: Be a smart Reploid and give me the Information on the Nightmares. Ground Scaravich: I'd rather just see what DNA data you have! -->11.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ Alia: You are in the Central Museum, or should I say "in the building that used to be the Museum..." The place has completely changed its appearances. Zero: This place is deserted... That is good because now I can concentrate on my mission. Alia: Ok, let's go! (Zero reaches a transparent-blue totem pole) Alia: Why is there a totem pole here? I don't Zero: pick up any life signs... Alia: I can't detect any sign of a totem pole...

Alia? ... The transmission is jammed again...? Zero: What is this location, anyway!? Can you read my location, Alia? Alia... Jammed transmission... Okay, then. Zero: What's this place? Alia! Can you read my location!? Huh? Alia! ... Jammed transmission? I'll do it on my own. Zero: What happened? Alia? Can you read me? The transmission is jammed... What's going on? Zero: Oh, not again... Give me a break. What a waste of time! Zero: Now what? It's useless to try to think about it... Zero: Another virtual area... What do the Nightmares want... Zero: I've reached an open space at last... But a bigger room can only mean a bigger challenge awaits! (If Zero teleports to the secret boss room area) Zero: Have I been transferred again? Alia? What's going on? (Just before confronting Ground Scaravich) Alia: It's been a long mission. You must be tired. The investigator sent to this area is Ground Scaravich. Stay alert! (Zero encounters Ground Scaravich) Zero: Ground Scaravich! Why do you need to steal from another ruin? Hmm... You seem to be very close to the Nightmares... Ground Scaravich: I am cursed, I know it! You are Zero. I heard you were dead. I really wanted to obtain your DNA data, but I no longer need it. Zero: What do you mean? Ground Scaravich: You can fight me to find out! -->11.3 After defeating Ground Scaravich---------------------------------\ Alia: You got Ground Dash! Crush certain types of of rocks with this. You got the Sentsuizan! Press Attack + Down buttons in the air. Ground Scaravich. An ex-treasure hunter. He was devoted to the research on an ancient site. He also had lots of research data on ancient robots. Gate took care of Scaravich in exchange for the ancient data. Gate improved his knowledge from him. Then Gate had him go to a forbidden area. It was the place you were both discovered. I saw Scaravich enter the place... I felt bad, but I disposed him. Gate didn't seem to care... I didn't want to remember this... ->12.0 Blaze Heatnix's Stage (Magma Area)--------------------------------\ -->12.1 Playing as X-----------------------------------------------------\ Alia: This is the Magma Area. A dangerous area to investigate is the Hot Spot that spews magmas. X: I've never seen this color of the magma. Is this the Nightmare? Alia: Although I can't confirm it due to the jamming, it must be the Nightmare. I have never heard of magmas that were that color. Stay alert! (X reaches a cliff just ahead) X: I found a giant Mechaniloid ahead! I think its weak point is the green core. Alia: Mechaniloid? There is no data signal. X: Is this the Nightmare? Who created this? What for? (If X teleports to the secret boss room area) X: Where am I? Alia... I can't contact... (X reaches an industrial area) X: Alia, this area is very hot! What's up? Alia: If I remember right, it is Hot Spot! But I can't confirm temperature changes from the Hunter Base. X: Look like I'm in very bad place... Is this also the Nightmare? (X reaches a cavernous area) Alia: It is also a Hot Spot! Watch out! X: There are more fields of Magmas. It's getting hotter! I should be careful not to fall. (Just before confronting Blaze Heatnix) X: The further I go, the hotter it gets. The investigator must be this way. Alia: The investigator for this area is Blaze Heatnix. Prepare yourself, just in case. (X encounters Blaze Heatnix) ??: Welcome! I've been waiting for you! You are strong compared to the others. I was bored because there is no strong Reploid left on the ground. Although I was not ordered to kill, it's too hard, isn't it? Hee hee hee. X: You must be Blaze Heatnix...

If you try to turn back, you will slip. You had better stop by jumping. (If X teleports to the secret boss room area) X: Was I thrown off course? Alia! Tell me where I am... ... The communication is out? (X falls down a large hole) Alia: Although we can't see the Nightmare of the ice from the Hunter Base, I wonder if there is a way I can take advantage of this situation? (Just before confronting Blizzard Wolfang) X: I got a strong signal! This must be an investigator. Alia: The investigator in this area is Blizard Wolfang. Set up your weapons in case you need to fight... ......... X... Actually I... X: Um? What's up? Alia: No. Be careful! Er, Wolfang was... X: You know something about Wolfang? Alia: No, nothing... Good luck, X. (X encounters Blizzard Wolfang) X: Are you the Nightmare investigator, Blizzard Wolfang? Wolfang: Yes. I came back for this important mission. An error cost me my men and problems for Gate. To add to that disgrace, Reploid Researchers trapped me and... Nevermind. What's done is done... This is my mission. I'm sorry but I will delete you! Maverick Hunter! -->13.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ Alia: This is the North Pole Area. Do you feel cold? Are you all right? Zero: I'm all right...

(Zero encounters Blizzard Wolfang) Zero: Blizzard Wolfang, nice to see you... Wolfang: Zero! I heard that you returned. Zero: I won't die so easily. Wolfang: Don't think badly of me, Zero. I won't disobey Gate. I must pay for my past sins. Besides I have a new mission. You know what I mean. Let's fight! Zero: I have no choice. You will lose! -->13.3 After defeating Blizzard Wolfang---------------------------------\ Alia: You got the Ice Burst! Fires ice blocks you can step on. You got Hydroga! Press Jump button while holding Up! Blizzard Wolfang. An ex-investigator of the North Pole area. One day, his team members were attacked by Mavericks.

We must eliminate the Nightmares! (X enters a building and rain begins to fall) X: What? It's raining! But it's not just normal rain, it's... ACID RAIN! Alia: It is cloudy in that area, but I can't detect any rain there. It has to be the work of the Nightmare! What's your condition? X: A bit damaged, but still functional. However, it's strange that I've been recovering while I'm on this machine. Alia: I can't guarantee your safety, but it's better to use them if they are helpful... But I'm worried about the rain... Is there any way to stop the Nightmare rain? (X finds a machine inside the building) X: Hmm? This weather analyzer seems to be out of control! What's worse is that the four cores have been creating the barrier. I have to destroy these scattered cores! Alia: Watch out for the damage caused by the Nightmare rain! Be careful. (After X destroys the machine) Alia: It has stopped raining, but you still have to... X: Yes. I still have to cope with more Nightmare rain later... Oh no! That means other Reploids are in danger! I'm coming to the scene, Alia! (X reaches a low spiked opening) Alia: A low passage... It's too narrow to walk into, but maybe there's another way... (If X teleports to the secret boss room area) X: This isn't the same area... (Just before confronting Rainy Turtloid) Alia: The investigator sent to this area is Rainy Turtloid. There are many dangers already present here, so stay alert! (X encounters Rainy Turtloid) X: Rainy Turtloid! You must be one of the investigators of the Nightmares. Rainy Turtloid: I've heard a lot about you. You have my respect. X: Huh? Respect? Then will you stop the Nightmare phenomena for me? Rainy Turtloid: Nightmare... It is the only thing that can save the future of the Reploids... X: What are you talking about! They have hurt us all... Rainy Turtloid: It is my duty to believe my master... My master was punished because of me... And yet, he let me live. That is why... I'll do what I have to do, even it means my life... X: Turtloid! I know you can understand. You know what you should do right now. Rainy Turtloid: X, I understand what you mean, but it's my duty. It's also my duty to elminate anything that disturbs my master... X, my life is yours! X: No! I don't want to fight you! -->14.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ Alia: You are in Inami Temple, an important cultural asset.

Zero: Okay, I'm on my way, Alia! (Zero enters a building as rain begins to fall) Zero: Darn! It's some kind of a trap!? It's raining! Alia: I don't pick up any sign of rain in that area. It must be the Nightmare phenomenon... Stay alert! Zero: I am gradually getting damaged... However, it's strange that I've been recovering when I'm on this machine... Alia: I can't guarantee your safety, but it's better to use them if they are helpful... But I'm worried about the rain... Is there any way to stop the Nightmare rain? (Zero finds a machine in the building) Zero: Alia, this machine seems to be out of control! And make the matter worse, it's protected by a thick barrier. The cores seem to have been establishing a barrier. Alia: Watch out for the damage caused by the Nightmare rain! Destroy those cores! (After Zero destroys the machine) Alia: It has stopped raining, but you still have to... Zero: I know... And that means the other Reploids are in danger! I have to hurry! (Zero reaches a low spiked opening) Alia: A low passage... It's too narrow to walk into, but maybe there's another way... Maybe X can handle it because his body is a little smaller than yours. (If Zero teleports to the secret boss room area) Zero: A different area... (Just before confronting Rainy Turtloid) Alia: The investigator sent to this area is Rainy Turtloid. There are many dangers already present here, so stay alert! (Zero encounters Rainy Turtloid) Zero: Are you Rainy Turtloid? Rainy Turtloid: Zero, the famous Maverick Hunter! X and Zero are Reploids I respect. Zero: Fine. So don't fight me, help me. Rainy Turtloid: I've been resurrected to carry out an important duty. A very important duty given by my master...

Gate opposed this and was punished. Turtloid was so loyal to Gate... In the end, he died to save Gate. ->15.0 Metal Shark Player's Stage (Recylce Lab)--------------------------\ -->15.1 Playing as X-----------------------------------------------------\ Alia: This is the Recycle Laboratory.

Can I get by the compressor with this? Alia: You should be fine, but be careful. X: I'll try not to get scrapped! (X reaches an area blocked with piles of junk) Alia: X!

(X teleports to a moving conveyer belt area) X: Now belt conveyers are also moving! Alia: The Nightmare should be doing this, but I can't see any changes here. We don't know what will happen. Stay alert! (X reaches a wall of spikes) Alia: Wait! You can't jump across spiny area. What can we do? (Just before confronting Metal Shark Player) X: I got a strange energy signal! It must be an investigator. Alia: The investigator here is Metal Shark Player. Stay on guard! (X encounters Metal Shark Player) X: You! What are you up to? Instead of investigating the Nightmare, you are manipulating it! It's strange that you are not affected by the Nightmare. ??: Heh heh heh. You have excellent DNA, don't you?

Press Attack + Down buttons in the air. Metal Shark Player. An ex-investigator of Recycle team. He studied recycling in order to create a new Reploid from Parts of disposed Mavericks. His most important work was to analyze and control DNA data of the Mavericks. His analysis ability was so great, that he succeeded in resurrecting dead Mavericks. Since DNA resurrection is explicitly prohibited, the law instantly dealt with him. Gate was also interested in DNA resurrection, so he encouraged him to collect the DNA data instead of stopping him. Metal Shark would have continued if Gate had stopped him. ->16.0 Shield Sheldon's Stage (Laser Institute)--------------------------\ -->16.1 Playing as X-----------------------------------------------------\ Alia: You are in the Laser Institute. It's one of the most mysterious places in the world. Umm... Since this institute does not officially exist, we don't have much data on it. X: But it is obvious that this facility is infected by the Nightmare, so I'll check it out. (X reaches a large hole with metools walking on thin air) X: Huh? They are levitating. But why? Alia: I've never encountered this kind of situation, but maybe you can use your weapons. (X reaches a sealed door with a large laser) X: There are laser units... and the light reflectors... The reflectors seem to be inflecting the laser. Alia: I've witnessed an experiment of the device that inflect the laser before. In that experiment, you could turn the devices. I'm not sure if those devices are same ones though, because they are not visible from here. But one thing I'm sure is that they are Nightmare phenomena. X: I'll try to utilize the laser and see what happens. (X reaches another laser) Alia: Turning the light reflectors to make the laser change directions... It's like a puzzle game. X: It is. What a painstaking Nightmare phenomenon! (X reaches a wall) X: I feel a little wind coming from somewhere near... (If X teleports to the secret boss room) X: What is this place? What am I supposed to do next? (Just before confronting Shield Sheldon) Alia: The investigator sent to this area is Shield Sheldon. Make sure to get your wea... X: You said Shield Sheldon? Oh no, has he been resurrected? And he has become an investigator? (X encounters Shield Sheldon) X: Shield Sheldon! I thought it was you... Shield Sheldon: Sure. X: I'm very sorry about the case. If only I could have been there in time. Shield Sheldon: Don't be. I couldn't fulfill my role as a bodyguard, that's all. X: You had been protecting the professor. When the professor became a Maverick, there was no other way. Our officers misinterpreted your action and you were hunted as a Maverick. And then you retired yourself. That was so unfortunate... Shield Sheldon: I couldn't prevent the professor from becoming a Maverick. I failed to protect him. But I'm going to fulfill the duty as a bodyguard now. He gave me a second chance... I'll protect him, even though I may have to sacrifice my life for it! Come on! X! -->16.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ Alia: You are in the Laser Institute.

Zero: Whatever... (If Zero teleports to the scret boss room area) Zero: What is this place? (Judt before confronting Shield Sheldon) Alia: The investigator sent to this area is Shield Sheldon. Make sure to get your wea... Zero: Shield Sheldon? Isn't he... He is now an investigator. So be it. (Zero encounters Shield Sheldon) Zero: Shield Sheldon... Too bad about your previous life... Shield Sheldon: Don't be. I was new as a bodyguard. That's all. Zero: Maverick Hunters are supposed to be able to tell a Maverick from a Reploid... Our officers are not good enough... They could cost us everything... Shield Sheldon: Reploids all over the world have been needing you. I was useless as a bodyguard... And was useless to everyone else. When I accepted that fact, I accepted my fate. However, there turned out to be someone who needs me. He has given me one more chance... And therefore, I am going to fulfill my mission as a bodyguard now. I'll protect him, even if it means that I have to sacrifice my life. Come on, Zero! -->16.3 After defeating Shield Sheldon-----------------------------------\ Alia: You got the Guard Shell! Shields enemy's shot for a counterattack. Shield Sheldon. Ex-security police.

Stay sharp because he may have very powerful weapons! (X encounters Infinity Mijinion) ??: Someone comes... X: Infinity Mijinion! You are one of the investigators of the Nightmares, aren't you? Infinity Mijinion: You seem to be hard to deal with... Why must I cover up for the lack in ability of the other investigators? Hmm? How did you come this far? Don't say you destroyed my sweet Illumina... X: I destroyed such a dangerous Reploid!! Infinity Mijinion: No! I was still conducting a test or two on her...!

Infinity Mijinion: Are the other investigators useless fleas? That's the only explanation as to why I have to clean up their messes... But wait... Why are you here anyway? Don't tell me you destroyed my sweet Illumina. Zero: What do you think... Infinity Mijinion: Maverick! I haven't even tested her! And I was thinking that I'll destroy all the thick-headed so-called "authorities" with her...! You will die!! -->17.3 After defeating Infinity Mijinion--------------------------------\ Alia: You got the Ray Arrow! Hurt enemies on the same screen. Infinity Mijinion. Ex-test pilot for large weapons. He had a special body that could process at a high speed. He ignored the test program, choosing instead to go on his on schedule. He produced excellent results...

You again! Dynamo: You look very busy all the time. I'm interested in the Nightmare and its investigation. X: It's dangerous! Stop it! Please do not get in my way! Dynamo: OK OK. You always get mad. But... I want many Souls... Even yours! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I can't beat you. Until next time! (Blizzard Wolfang's Stage) Dynamo: Have you solved the mystery of the Nightmare? X: Dynamo! This is not your business! Dynamo: The Nightmare Soul is nice DNA. I want to power-up with it. So I will take the Souls you collected! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: Drat. You're too serious. Later, X! (Rainy Turtloid's Stage) Dynamo: How are you doing? X: Dynamo! Hurry and get out of here! You are good at running away, aren't you. Dynamo: Very clever, but I am here for the Nightmares. I've been gathering them, thinking that I might be able to enhance my powers... So, will you do me a favor? Give me all the DNA Souls you have gathered! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: Oh, give me a break... (Metal Shark Player's Stage) Dynamo: Long time no see! X: Dynamo! Why are you here!? Dynamo: Nightmare Souls. They're very good... I will get the Souls that you collected! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I still can't win! Bye, X! (Shield Sheldon's Stage) X: Dynamo!? You are alive!? Dynamo: I'm sorry, if I made you worry. But you know what they say, "Discretion is the better part of valor." We now have the Nightmares and the imposter of Zero... X: Did you come here only to tease me? Just leave, now. Dynamo: Why don't we talk a little longer? Say... Let's see who has obtained more Nightmare Souls! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I'm not up to defeating you... (Infinity Mijinion's Stage) Dynamo: Hard work and no play makes X go crazy! Hee hee hee! X: Dynamo! It's you, again. Dynamo: It takes hours for me to get here. I won't go back empty-handed. I've been gathering Nightmare Souls at the risk of my life. I've been dying to become stronger... Do you want to challenge me? (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: You are way too strong... -->19.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ (Commander Yammark's Stage) Zero: How persistent you are, Dynamo? Dynamo: You're also persistent... Now that Sigma finished, I must survive by myself... by making use of the Nightmare! Zero: The Nightmare is too dangerous! Stop it! Dynamo: Then give me the Nightmare Soul. OK? (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: You are too strong. See you later, Zero! (Ground Scaravich's Stage) Zero: Dynamo! What are you doing here? Dynamo: I came here for the Nightmares. I'm attuned to the fashions of the time, you know... Zero: The Nightmares are too dangerous to play around with! Dynamo: That's why they are worth checking! The Nightmare Souls are MINE! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I'm not strong enough... Later! (Blaze Heatnix's Stage) Zero: Dynamo! You're pesky! Dynamo: You must be busy dying so many times. Zero: I won't die in such a trifle battle! Dynamo: You're always passionate. I want many Souls... Even yours! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I can't beat you. Until next time! (Blizzard Wolfang's Stage) Dynamo: Have you solved the mystery of the Nightmare? Zero: That's not your business! Leave! Dynamo: The Nightmare Soul is nice DNA. I want that power! So I will take the Souls you collected! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: You're too serious. Later, Zero! (Rainy Turtloid's Stage) Dynamo: How are you doing? Zero: Save us time and run away now... Dynamo: Shut up! I may be a coward, but I'm here for the Nightmares. I've been gathering them, thinking that I might be able to enhance my powers... So, will you do me a favor? Give me all the DNA Souls you have gathered! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: Oh, give me a break... (Metal Shark Player's Stage) Dynamo: Long time no see! Zero: Sorry but I will never go with you. Dynamo: Don't be cruel. By the way... Nightmare Souls... I want them all! I will get the Souls that you collected! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I just can't win. Bye, Zero! (Shield Sheldon's Stage) Zero: Dynamo!? You are alive, too!? Dynamo: I'm sorry, if I made you worry. But you know what they say, 'Discretion is the better part of valor." We now have the Nightmares and your imposter... Zero: Shut up. Leave or fight. Dynamo: Don't be so angry. Say... Let's see who has obtained more Nightmare Souls! (After defeating Dynamo) Dynamo: I'm not up to defeating you... (Infinity Mijinion's Stage) Dynamo: You are very impressive... Zero: Again... Dynamo: You know, it takes hours for me to come this far. I've been gathering Nightmare Souls at the risk of my life. I've been dying to become stronger... Do you want to challenge me?

The Nightmare is an artificial virus. It infects Reploids and rewrites their DNA and AI programs, immobilizing them. At worst, even their appearance changes. We don't know exactly as our analysis is not yet complete... But it is very similar to the Mavericks. X: Yeah...It's almost the same. Alia: But I'll tell you the real threat of the Nightmare. The Nightmare phenomena... An infected Reploid gets out of order... By inputting certain code, in fact, you can manipulate the Reploid freely. The real purpose of the Nightmare is... not to ruin Reploids, but to control Reploids... Finally: When the virus rewrites his system, the Reploid sometimes dies. A normal virus dies with its host. The Nightmare is so strong, the virus can survive after the Reploid dies. On the other hand, we don't need a special vaccine to damage it, since the energy is so strong. Deleting them may be easier than Sigma... X: Who is doing this...? Alia: To create such an advanced virus... He is the only one... The one... who was my colleague... Gate... The investigators... Some look different, but those eight Reploids were created by Gate. They should have been in use somewhere else since they are very able Reploids... Thinking of the Nightmare program, he is the only one capable of this. X: ...Why is Gate doing this? Alia: When he and I worked for the Reploids Research Team... All his Reploids were super. His program was too advanced to analyze. The Reploids made remarkable progress. But that started to become dangerous. Then some Reploids began to take needless risks. Gate's reputation started to falter. But he continued creating more advanced Reploids so that he would get recognition for his ability. Of course, it was against our boss. One day, making it look like an accident, the Reploids were disposed of. It was our boss' orders. But I participated... X: Were they really dangerous? Alia: No, not really. But his program was just too advanced. There were too much that could not be analyzed by us. X: Is that all?...It's the same as me. Alia: I hesitate to say this... He also aimed to make the strongest Reploids. Zero and X... He wanted you. He believed that the ultimate Reploid can never be analyzed... so he strived. So his program advanced to the point where no one could analyze it. He was much smarter than me... but I got ahead as I followed orders. Nobody gave him the proper recognition. Then he got isolated, and left saying this: I'll get revenge on all low Reploids who couldn't appreciate my ability! Building an ideal nation with high-end Reploids only. That was his ambition... The Nightmare is that very revenge on those who didn't appreciate him! It is the embodiment of his "hatred"! X: I'll stop such an ambition. I won't accept no more sacrifice of Reploids! He must know the current situation. Mankind, Reploid and the Earth are in danger. Alia: Yes. Stop Gate's plan at once. Gate must delete the Nightmare. X: All right.

You defeated my star creations... X: Who are you? Gate: I'm Gate. The new leader of Reploids. I aim for an ideal nation of Reploids only. I'm eliminating low Reploids for that. Hee hee hee. X: You!! Do you realize what you're doing? The Earth can't be fixed without Reploids! Gate: I know. So this is the perfect time! I can bring a new age just for Reploids. This is my dream. I've been waiting for this... I won't let anybody get in the way. X, I'll give you a special treat since you proved your worth and ability defeating my investigators. I'll invite you to my laboratory. Fu fu fu. No more hiding. I'm sure you'll come even if you know you'll die. I'm waiting for you at my laboratory. Fu fu fu.

Alia: Do you still hold grudges? Don't you realize what's going on? In the worst case scenario, you might die as well. Gate: I know... I think it's a golden opportunity! Thanks to the Space Colony incident, a lot of Reploids were lost. Now I can easily control the Reploids remaining... It's the ideal time to build my world! I won't let anybody interfere. Finally I can realize my "dream"! I will build the strongest nation! Zero: Your ridiculous obsession is a waste of our time. An ideal world made from a virus? It won't last with a corrupt foundation! Gate: Even though you have Maverick Hunters and Reploids... and you still could not maintain peace, right? Don't accuse me when you use force too! Alia: Stop quarrelling! The Earth needs us now. Gate, I believe you should know better. Gate: ... I can't forget... They murdered my works instead of appreciating them. They were such excellent Reploids... Why? This Maverick Hunter can't be analyzed and may carry great risks... but why won't you dispose of him? I'm looking forward to seeing...

I assume the laboratory is below this. I don't think I can communicate with you, once I enter it... Alia: Right... We are having much noise within our transmission even now. Just be careful, X. X: I have to stop Gate and his evil. (X dives into the huge hole) X: It's dark, but I can see some light... Can you see anything, Alia...? Alia, Alia? I've already lost the transmission... I have to go alone. -->23.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ (Zero teleports to the Eurasia crash site) Alia: The secret laboratory of Gate exists in a place like this?

You're superior, as always. You always were at the top, Alia. Alia: No. Your talent was far beyond mine. I just diligently did as I was told. And you didn't. That was the only difference. X: No matter how capable you are, the skill is nothing if not used properly. Alia understood that but you didn't. Signas: First of all, a nation for only Reploids won't work. Both Reploids and humans are flawed. We can't survive without mutual aid. I believe you know the best. Gate: Will humans rescue this damaged planet? No. They take refuge under the ground and are helpless. Only the Reploids can do the work... Fu. Did the Reploids cause this disaster? They're the ones, are they, X? Ha ha ha. Signas: Don't let him bait you, X. X: I'm all right, Signas. Gate: I'll admit that Reploids are flawed and some Reploids become Maverick. That's why I wasn't properly evaluated. But... I feel confident in my recent creations. Oh... I'll tell you one little thing. I didn't get here on my ability alone... Hmmm...but I got something. A golden opportunity. Guess what I picked up? I thought it was just rubbish...At first. It was a "piece of Zero." I obtained Zero's DNA! I felt as if I stepped in the sanctuary. And the DNA was just fabulus. It was a piece of cake to create High Max and the Nightmare. I couldn't contain my excitement... I could now create perfect and the strongest Reploids! But...there's no limit to things. Look at you. X: Don't you know? Sure, Zero's DNA has great power... But it decreases if used the wrong way. Time to teach you a lesson, Gate! You used Zero to cause Reploids pain. All for your own ego!! I won't forgive you!! Gate: Good! I've been waiting to destroy you! Come on... X! -->24.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ (Gate appears to Zero) Gate: Finally you made it. You're truly great, Zero. Zero: It's simple. Evil must be defeated. Gate: I wanted to keep silence on this. But I will reveal the secret to you. To be honest, I didn't get here on my ability alone... I got something. It was a blessing. Guess what I got? I thought it was junk at first. ... It was a piece of your body. Zero. I obtained your DNA data! It couldn't be analyzed! I tried using the latest technology. Zero: What!? You used my DNA? Gate: Your DNA was just fabulous. It made High Max and the Nightmare easy. I couldn't contain my excitement... I could now create perfect and the strongest Reploids... But... It couldn't match the original after all. I couldn't analyze it completely. Zero: How dare you!! Delete the Nightmare virus now! It's too dangerous! It will be your undoing! Gate: Ha ha ha. How strange... You're usually so calm... Don't worry. I had enough experiments using low Reploids. And that yielded a virus from your DNA. What I should do now is... to destroy the disgusting original body!

Come on, X! -->26.2 Playing as Zero--------------------------------------------------\ Gate: So impressive. All of my Reploids have already been destroyed. I confess that I have nothing to use... I couldn't analyze you enough... Or should I say it was impossible to analyze you completely... Zero: It is too dangerous to put my DNA to use! You must have been aware of that. Delete all the remaining program you have! Gate: Not yet. Just give me one more chance to fight you! I've never thought I'd be able to fight the original one... This is a long-awaited opportunity!
