The leader of Repliforce, General, meets with a cloaked Reploid on a stormy night.
???: It's about the Maverick Hunters, General. They are far too eager to please the humans, and continue to hunt down the Reploids. Do you believe they pose a significant threat?
General: Perhaps.
???: You already know the truth, General. Their sole mission has been to destroy any Reploids who fail to do as the humans order!
General: Hmm...
???: It's in your best interest to stop them now, before they turn on you! You possess enough power to destroy them!
General: ... You are dismissed.
???: What?!
General: I will not betray the humans. Remove yourself from my sight. My business with you has concluded...
???: Heh heh heh... very well. But you will change your mind soon, I assure you! Ha ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha!
Zero is resting in a capsule. A silhouette of Dr. Wily appears, and Zero wakes up.
Dr. Wily: Zero...
Zero: Who are you?
Dr. Wily: My masterpiece...
Zero: But... who are you?
Dr. Wily: After him! He is my nemesis. Our rivalry is what gives me motivation in life. Now go! Destroy him! That's an order.
Zero: Huh... ? Wait!
A sharp ringing sound is heard, and Zero starts to scream in pain. He flashes back to Dr. Wily, Sigma(1), a room full of destroyed Reploids, his own blueprints, and an image of blood covering his hands. He wakes up hearing an alarm.
Hunter HQ: Emergency, Emergency! All Maverick Hunters on call should assemble immediately!
Zero: The same dream... again...
Zero runs out of the room to assemble as the announcement ordered.
We cut to X who stands in the Command Room of the Maverick Hunter Headquarters, receiving a briefing of his next mission.
Hunter HQ: Mavericks have been found at location 5567! The Mavericks occupied the Sky Lagoon using the most advanced weapons available! The army appears to be the Repliforce!
X: Roger that! I'm on my way!
X teleports out to the Sky Lagoon. He fights his way through the Sky Lagoon and fights Eregion, a large dragon-like Mechaniloid. He enters a boss gate and comes across Magma Dragoon, another Maverick Hunter.
X: You're Dragoon from the 14th Unit!
Dragoon: This isn't good, X! That Maverick just destroyed the power reactor!
X: What?! Then the Sky Lagoon will... come crashing to the ground!
Dragoon: It's too late, X! It's time I made my escape! I'd suggest you do the same... Don't do anything reckless on the way out, okay?
Dragoon teleports away, leaving X alone. It wasn't long until he got a message from Zero.
Zero: X, you need to see this...
X: Roger!
Zero leaves the call, leaving X alone in his thoughts.
X: The city below will soon become a sea of flames. Many people will perish... I have no choice but to escape from here and head to the city below!
