Mega Man X6 Script (Zero's story)

Script from the game Mega Man X6, Zero's storyline only (see also: X's storyline).

'Note: This script starts at Scene 7 because Zero does not appear in the game until then, or until after destroying the Zero Nightmare, which can happen in any one of the Investigators' stages. To see what happens before Scene 7 (which can only happen as X), see X's storyline.)'

Scene 7: Zero's Return
(After X destroys the Zero Nightmare, the real Zero reveals himself.)

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!

(X and Zero return to the Hunter Base to receive the mission briefing.)

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!

Scene 8: Amazon Area
(Zero teleports to a dense jungle area.)

Alia (over radio): This is the Amazon Area. I can't understand the situation there from the Hunter Base. I wonder if the Nightmare caused this jamming.

(Zero fights through the stage until he finds a small insect Mechaniloid.)

Alia: It appears to be a transport Mechaniloid. It has a loading space on its back.

(Zero continues until he sees a strange, floating creature with tentacles.)

Zero: Alia! What is this unusual signal?

Alia: It must be the Nightmare! Stay alert!

Zero: Is this the Nightmare? I see...

(Zero continues until he sees an injured Reploid standing on a high platform.)

Alia: There are many Reploids everywhere who need help. You should search all over for them.

(Zero is teleported to a different area.)

Zero: Is this the Amazon Area? It's similar, yet different...

If Zero encounters High Max
(Zero finds an unknown black-armored Reploid, High Max, in a hidden room.)

High Max: You're not wanted here. Do not disturb our important investigation.

Zero: Your investigation? Come on! You're examining the Nightmare!

High Max: You are nuisance. I'll delete you.

If Zero encounters Dynamo
(Zero finds Dynamo in a hidden room.)

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?

(Zero fights and defeats Dynamo.)

Dynamo: You are too strong. See you later, Zero!

(Dynamo teleports out.)

(Zero continues until he comes across a strange capsule. As he approaches, a hologram of Dr. Light appears.)

Dr. Light: Zero... I'm glad to see you again.

Zero: ... I will never die. I don't really remember, but when I came to, I could move... I don't know if the recovery function worked...

Dr. Light: ... The world still needs X and you... ... So you came back to life, didn't you? We must put an end to this Nightmare... Please give X this Armor program... However, for security reason, the Armor won't work until the four programs combine. Now I will give X a foot program of the Blade Armor. This program will enhance X's dash performance and enable him to perform the Mach Dash. X can dash while jumping and X will be invincible in the beginning. For the Earth. For the future. Good luck!

(Zero continues until he comes to a spiked area.)

Alia: The transport Mechaniloid can stand on the spiny trap. You can use it. Try to ride on!

Zero: If I can't make it with a double jump, I'll try it.

(Zero comes to the boss gate.)

Zero: I feel a strong power... Is this an investigator?

Alia: The investigator here is Commander Yammark. Be ready for battle just in case...

Zero: I am always ready. I will destroy the crazy investigator.

(Zero enters the door and encounters Commander Yammark.)

Zero: You're the Nightmare investigator, Commander Yammark?

Commander Yammark: Yes! I'm in charge of the Amazon area. Tell me! What will you do with the Nightmare?

Zero: Are you serious? It is your silly toy!

Commander Yammark: Maverick Hunters and Reploid researchers are all liars! I may end up betrayed and deleted! So I will delete you first!

(Zero fights and defeats Commander Yammark, who explodes. Zero teleports out.)

Alia: You got the Yammar Option! Dragonflies help you on offense and defense. Commander Yammark. An ex-investigator in the Amazon area. He was a Reploid created for the nature preservation project. He burnt the forest by control disorder. He wasn't accused of the incident. But... Someone altered Yammark's flying system... He crashed and died. He was created by... my colleague... Gate.

(If Zero picked up a Nightmare Soul) Alia: You've found a mysterious item. It's related to the Nightmare. Let's call it the Nightmare Soul. Collect the Souls to increase ranking. As your Hunter Ranking increases, you'll be able to equip Parts. The higher your ranking, the more you can equip Parts. When you achieve the GA rank, you will be able to equip the Limited Parts. Unlike the other Parts, the Limited Parts should be equipped at the Weapon Select screen. Don't forget that you can use it one time only.
