In the year 21XX.... The world has become a place where the human race coexists with Reploids. Many years ago a mysterious blue robot was found. Named MegamanX, this robot possessed a high level of intelligence. It also was able to display emotions like humans. MegamanX was a robot that people thought could never be duplicated by modern science. Even though MegamanX is a good natured robot with a kind and warm personality, he also has the power to cause a lot of destruction..... Dr. Cain studied and analyzed MegamanX, and then succeeded in creating the "Reploids." However, some Reploids began to malfunction due to problems with their eletronic brain. They are called "Mavericks". The Reploids who hunt them are called "Maverick Hunters." In order to help MegamanX became a Maverick Hunter. Later, a red robot was found. This robot named, "ZERO" had high attack power. When he was found, he was out of control like all the other Mavericks. The strongest Reploid, Sigma helped to bring Zero under control. Sigma took Zero under his watch. After that, Zero never malfunctioned again and was eventually promoted to a Special A Level Hunter. Soon after, Sigma rose in revolt and tried to destroy everything. And then the Mavericks kept increasing and became more powerful. But thanks to X and Zero's work, the peace was restored over and over again. However....
X: ............... Where am I now....?
X: This place is familiar.... Why am I here...!?
X: VAVA! Why are you.... It can't be. I crushed you!
Vile: .... Die! X!
X: Zero, you must tell me! Tell me what's going on! Zero: X, now we
see terrible confusion all over the world. Someone broke into the Mother
Computer system of the Hunter Base and set its data to sabotage the world
order.
X: Who is doing such a thing!? I won't allow anyone to disturb the
peace we have tried hard to maintain.
Zero: It seems that they are... Reproducing the fighting data of the
past... X, your data is contained in the past data in the Mother Computer.
Zero: And the one who brought you back from the data world is...
Middy: Hi, I'm Middy!
Zero: Middy is the greatest computer genius in the world. No one can
match him..... He will work with us to solve this case.
Middy: It's nice to meet you, X!
X: Nice to meet you, too! Let's work together to restore peace.
Middy: X, so.... Let me explain what we should do.
Middy: In order to put the past data back, we need to fix a data in
the "core" of the Mother Computer. This is the core of the Mother Computer.
Middy: But the way to the core is "protected." Unless you clear the
protection, you can't enter the core. The guardians of the protection is
the boss data of the past.
Zero: To break the protection, there is no other way but to go into
the computer as a data form and then crush them all.
X: Zero, I'll do it!
Zero: OK. I'll let you handle this. I'll stay here and clean up all
the Mavericks who are committing crimes in the confusion. Don't forget
that even though they are past data, they are still very strong. X, be
careful!
X: All right! Here we go!
Middy: Good luck, X!
Middy: Energy charge! Setup complete. Ready to transform! Start the
installation!
Techno: I didn't expect the past data could be destroyed so easily...
Huh.
Techno: We would get into trouble if the computer protections are broken...
We need to make a move quickly.
Geemel: Kekeke! Take it easy! Let's relax and see his action from here.
Techno: Geemel, you'll get hurt if you disvalue his power.
Zain: Don't worry, I'll do it.... I'll crush him for sure...
Techno: OK. You go then.
Geemel: Kekeke! Don't fail us!
Zain: You must be X.... My name is Zain! You have no chance of beating
me!
Zain: I underestimated you... You got lucky..... But next time your
luck won't be able to save you....
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Take this Leg Upgrade. The Upgrade will enhance your mobility on climbing the wall... This Upgrade will also allow you to crush certain blocks. Your field of activities have now been expanded. Go destroy the evil X!
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Take this Body Upgrade. This Upgrade will increase your denfensive ability and you'll receive less damage... Protect the peace and our future!

Dr. Light: Eneter this capsule, X. Take this Arm Upgrade. The upgrade will increase the strength of your charged shots. This upgrade will also allow you to charge any of your special weapons. Defeat the enemy there, X!
Dr. Cain: X! Finally we've cleared all the protection!
X: All right! Dr. Cain... I'm going to go to the core!
Zain: I've been waiting for you, X! You have no chance to win!
Zain: I can't believe this....
Geemel: Kyee! X, you disgust me!
X: Who are you?!
Geemel: My name is Geemel! How dare you defeat my buddy! I'll get you
later! Remember!
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. I'll give you the Shotokan moves... "Hadou-ken" and "Shouryu-ken"! First, fully charge the energy by holding the B button. Then hold the UP button and release the B button.... You'll perform the famous Shouryu-Ken! If you hold the DOWN button and release the B button... You'll perform powerful Hadou-Ken! Remember that you can only perform these moves when you are on the ground.
Dr. Cain: X! Finally you can enter the core!
X: All right! I'm going to the core!
???: Fu fu fu.... I am impressed. You have done very well.
X: I know your voice....
X: Sigma! So, you've been behind all of this?!
Sigma: Fu fu... Your efforts are worthy... But they will end here!
Ha ha ha!
X: Get ready to be destroyed!
Sigma: Ha ha.... Nice try! But you're just a tiny bug to me! Ha ha ha
ha....
Techno: Oh no! We've been spotted! Is there nobody who can stop him?
Geemel: Darn! With this type of situation... I just run away...!
Techno: Geemel! Darn! He left me behind!
Dr. Cain: X, fianlly I've found Sigma's hiding place! You can warp from
the core of the Mother Computer.
X: All right! Dr. Cain, I'm going to go there now!
Dr. Cain: It would seem that someone worked with Sigma and hacked the
computer from there.
Middy: ..... You know what, X? I have something to tell you..........
No. Never mind. Good luck!
Techno: Darn it! I didn't notice it soon, but he's already come so close!
I need to make a move quickly.....
X: No! I won't allow you! I'll crush the machine!
Techno: Waaaaaaaaa!
???: Brother!
Techno: Oh.... That voice sounds familiar.....
X: Middy!
Middy: Sob! My brother, Techno!
Techno: What.... Am I doing here....
Middy: Techno! Oh, you're waking up.....
Techno: I've been controlled by Sigma.... Middy.... It's all over with
me.... In order to hack the Mother Computer, I connected my own CPU directly
with the computer....
Middy: Nooo! Don't say that! Techno! Please hold on!
Techno: Sigma is good at toying and controlling people's hearts. He
took advantage of my heart and made me work for him.
Middy: You are a genius! You don't have a weak heart!
Techno: Huh, you think so? Middy.... But... You don't understand.....
Middy: Nooo! Please... Techno! Don't leave me! Techno!
X: Middy, what happened?
Middy: Techno is my twin brother... We share the same CPU. So uf he
dies, I also die....
X: .... Never give into him!
Middy: Be sure to defeat Sigma.........
X: Middy! Hold on! I'll be back soon. Stay here!
Sigma: I thought you would come here. I enjoyed your performances so
much... But the enterainment is over. You must fail! Get ready!
X: It'll be the final battle! I'll finish you at any cost!
Sigma: Hee hee hee. I guess I will retreat for now... However... X.... Don't think that this is end! Ha ha ha.....
X: Middy, hold on! We have to evacuate now!
Middy: Un... X... It... Seems I'm done for... Thanks to you, Techno
recovered his senses... Thank you, X...
X: Middy!!
Zero: X, our mission is complete.... What's up, X? Where is Middy?
X: Zero... I'm sorry.... I couldn't save Middy's life.
Zero: ... X. It's not your fault. Middy Sacrificed himself to help
all of us. He helped us to defeat Sigma... Don't waste his sacrifices!
X: ............... It's not true peace when the strong rule the world...
And the weak is sacrificed.... It is very wrong, for sure! I will fight
to prevent that!
Thanks to X and Zero's work, Sigma's ambition to take over the computer world was stopped. But the last words of Sigma make X feel unrest. "But, I won't let evil win. No matter how strong or how many enemies I must defeat, I will always fight to protect the peace..." X makes this promise in his mind.
A tip from Middy!
Middy: Congratulations! You have cleared this game. Let me give you
a tip as a reward for your effort. "Hard Mode" is now available! New stages
and bosses waiting for you to challenge! You can start a game with the
same equipment when you've cleared the game. So you'll be prepared even
when strong enemies attack you! Make sure you remember to save your data
now!! Good luck!
X: Zero, tell me! What's happening!
Zero: The Mother Computer, which was restored, is now not working again.
X: I don't believe it! We found illegal record in the Mother Computer.....
Someone must have accessed the data secretly.
Zero: That person has been reproduces the fighting data of the past.
In order to fix the Mother Computer we will need to fight our enemies again
in their data forms...
X: Zero, I'll do it!
Zero: OK. You handle this... And I'll look into who is behind this
evil plan. Be sure to watch out....
X: All right! Here we go!
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Install the program, Zero Scramble: Dash! This program will allow you to call your best partner, Zero... The range of the attack is limited but it can help you a lot if you use it wisely. Be careful about your energy...
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Install the program, Zero Scramble: Rising! The program will allow you to call youe best friend and fellow soldier, Zero.... His striking power is enormous, but hard to control. Perform this on enemies in the sky. It also works on bosses!
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Install the program, ZERO SCRAMBLE: EARTH GAIZER! This program will allow you to call your best friend, Zero... You can damage enemies around you! This requires a lot of energy.... Use this only in a desperate situation....
Dr. Light: Enter this capsule, X. Install the program, Zero Scramble: Final! This will allow you to call a special A level Hunter, Zero.... This is the most powerful weapon and will destroy almost any enemy. Keep in mind that this requires a huge amount of energy... Use this on strong enemies that may seem impossible to defeat!
Geemel: Kekeke! Disgusting X! How could you beat me last time! I'll pay you back for that! I'm going to mess up the data in the Mother Computer!
Geemel: I hope you have fun fixing my mess, X!
Geemel: Kekeke! I've been waiting for you X! I'm going to take the time
to stop you here and finish you off once and for all.
Geemel: Kyee! This can't be! Don't think you've defeated me just because
you've won this round!
Dr. Cain: X! You've finally cleared all the protections!
X: All right! I'm going to go to the core!
Dr. Cain: Good luck, X!
Geemel: I've been waiting for you, X. Kekeke. You seem to be having
problems! I'll give you another problem to deal with!
Geemel: Kyee! How frustrating!
Dr. Cain: X! Finally, you can enter the core!
X: All right! I'm going to go to the core!
Dr. Cain: Good luck, X!
???: Fu fu fu.... You made it.
X: Sigma! You've been behind all of this!
Sigma: Didn't you think it was strange that you could defeat me with
such easy attacks? You're no wiser than before, X! Now you will pay for
your ignorance!
Sigma: Ha ha ha.... No matter what you do, it'll be in vain! Ha ha
ha...
Zero: X, it was Sigma again who was behind everything. We're going to
destroy Sigma's hiding place completely. To scatter their power, we'll
spilt up for now!
X: Ok, let's go!
Sigma: You're here again! We had fun last time... But playtime is over!
Ha ha ha! Get ready to be destroyed!
X: It'll be the final battle! I'll finish you at any cost!
Sigma: Why.... Why do you win all the time.... Where does your power
come from? GuaaaAAA!
Zero: We cleaned out the enemies. We can escape from here!
X: All right! Let's go!
Thanks to X and Zero's work, Sigma's ambition to take over the computer world was stopped. But evil is very tough to comletely stop. When evil emerges again... They'll be there to fight... For now, we can only hope that the world will give X and Zero some peace...
A challenge from Techno!
Techno: Humph, you have done well... I didn't expect that you would
defeat the Hard Mode... But do you have what it takes to complete the "Extreme
Mode" which I programmed for you! This is an awesome mode containing 8
stages to clear. Keep in mind that you can't use the save data that you've
cleared. There are no story sequences, as it is specialized just for battle!
So, why don't you save your data here and go for it? If you have the guts....
Hope to see you again.... Heh heh heh....
Sigma: Bwah ha ha ha. Your efforts are futile.... I will never be defeated!! As long as Mavericks exist.... As long as evil exists in the minds of humans... I'll come back again and again! X, Zero.... I'll pursue you to the end of the world! Bwah ha ha ha! Farewell! FOR NOW!!! Bwah ha ha!
