Mega Man X: Command Mission Script

Script from the game Mega Man X: Command Mission.

=Chapter 1: Infiltrate Giga City!=

Scene 1: Covert Infiltration
(The scene opens in Giga City as Mega Man X, Zero, and Shadow race along the exterior of the Lagrano Ruins. Colonel Redips's voice narrates in the background, and the scene occasionally flashes back to the three Hunters being personally briefed by the Colonel.)

Colonel 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.

(The scene fades out.)

Scene 2: Situation Analysis
(The scene cuts to the entrance of the Ruins as X, Zero, and Shadow make their way inside and survey the area.)

Zero: Nobody to greet us, eh?

(X tries to operate his radio device.)

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.

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

(Shadow gestures towards a pathway.)

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

(As the trio begins to move, a huge column comes crashing down and separates X from Zero and Shadow.)

X: Are you two okay?

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

(X glances behind him.)

X: This could be a trap. Be careful.

Zero: Finders keepers for any goodies!

(Shadow and Zero take off, and X heads up the stairwell.)

Scene 3: Searching the Ruins
(X receives a transmission from Zero)

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 continues through the ruins, destroying enemies in his way, he eventually comes across a control panel in a room)

Lagrano Lab Security Control Panel: Disable security in Area 1F-West?

(X pushes a button on the control panel, disabling the security)

Lagrano Lab Security Control Panel: Area 1F-West Security disabled.

(suddenly, X receives a call from Zero)

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!

(X makes his way up the stairs to the second floor. Once there, Zero calls again)

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

(X goes to the room ZERO indicated and finds four empty capsules. X inspects the documentation on the first pod.)

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

(X examines the next pod.)

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

(X examines the next pod.)

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

(X examines the next pod.)

Narrator: "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 continues through the ruins when he finds another room with two capsules.)

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

(X examines the other capsule.)

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

(Zero contacts X once again.)

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 continues forward and enters a similar control room on the first floor)

Lagrano Lab Security Control Terminal: Disable security in Area 3F-West?

(X pushes a button on the panel to disable it)

Lagrano Lab Security Control Terminal: Area 3F-West. Disabling signal NOT SYNCHRONIZED

(X receives a call from Zero)

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 sees the panel flashing red two times. On the third time, X pushes on the panel again, making sure it works this time)

Lagrano Lab Security Control Terminal: Area 3F-West. Disabling signal ''SYNCHRONIZED'. Disabling all security for Lagrano Laboratory 3F areas East and West.''

(X receives a transmission from Zero)

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

(Just then, a Preon Chaser appears out of the door that X entered)

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

(Zero calls X once again)

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

(X fights and defeats the Preon guard. After victory, he is contacted by X)

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

(X obtains Force Metal from the fight and continues his way up to the fourth floor; once there, he receives a call from 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 cental floor.

Scene 4: Enter Hippopressor
(X enters a room and finds Zero at long last)

X: Zero!! You're safe!

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

(Just then, a Mechaniloid Hippopressor bursts through the walls)

Zero: Who the heck is this?

(the Hippospressor attacks the duo, but they are barely able to fight back and defeat it)

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.

(X and Zero make their way to the fifth floor, up the stairs)

Scene 5: Shadow's Betrayal
(The two Hunters head outside and run into SHADOW again.)

X: Shadow, are you okay?!

Shadow: Yeah... But look...

(Shadow indicates the massive Reploid standing in front of them. Epsilon lifts his head and scowls at the two new arrivals.)

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 chuckles.)

Epsilon: Oh, but is it?

(Shadow reaches out with his Saber-arm and immobilizes Zero.)

Zero: Unggh!

(X gapes at his friend's betrayal.)

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 charges and fires off a quick blast with his Buster as Zero breaks free of SHADOW'S hold. The Buster shot flies at Epsilon as Zero leaps through the air in an attempt to slice the mighty Reploid.)

Zero: This!

Scene 6: The Cadre Arrives
(Scene opens with Epsilon holding out his palm as he effortlessly blocks X's attack.)

X: Zero!

(Scene pans to Zero, who's being held immobile once more, this time by one of Epsilon's Cadres, Ferham. Zero grunts as he tries to break free.)

Ferham: Silence! Show the Commander some respect!

(X notices a flicker of movement.)

X: Zero, behind you!

(Zero turns and sees Scarface, another Cadre, appear.)

X: Zero!

(Scarface activates his double-bladed Saber and aims it at Zero. X fires a shot which frees Zero from Ferham's grasp, but Shadow targets him mid-fall and blasts him out of the sky.)

Zero: *screams and falls*

X: Zero!

(X tries to make a move, but is soon stopped by a laser blast from Botos, yet another Cadre member. Soon, the entire group surrounds X.)

X: Oh no.

(Epsilon chuckles again.)

Ferham: Ha ha ha ha.

Epsilon: 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(1)a Maverick Hunter!

(X turns to face his former comrade, whose eyes now glow red with evil.)

X: Shadow... I can't forgive you...

Shadow: Heh heh heh.

(X faces off against Shadow, but tricks the group by then blasting the floor. In the chaos, X escapes by leaping over the edge of the castle wall. Ferham growls in anger and gives chase.)

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

(Epsilon calls her back.)

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