Mega Man Maverick Hunter X Script (Vile's story)

Script for the game Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Vile's storyline only.

Scene 1: Vile's Rumination
(Vile walks alone along the Central Highway, musing to himself.)

Vile: X... Why does it have to be you?

(Vile reflects about his imprisonment, and how Sigma freed him. The scene cuts back to Vile's cell. Sigma approaches, and Vile turns to look at him.)

Vile: Come to reprimand me in person, did you?

(Sigma says nothing; he only ignites his saber and, to Vile's shock, slashes at him. But Vile is not hit - only his bindings are destroyed. Vile looks in shock at his destroyed bindings, then back at Sigma.)

Sigma: I need your help - to defeat X.

Vile: To defeat X?

Sigma: Yes... in order to ensure our future and speed along our evolution.

(Vile cackles in delight.)

Vile: Hah ha ha ha ha ha! What on Earth are you talking about?

(Vile gets up from the cell bench.)

Vile: What could that worrywart Hunter possibly do for us?

Sigma: His... worrying... that is precisely the quality that will prove beneficial to our cause. He alone possesses that ability. He thinks more deeply than the rest of us. He feels... normal Reploids are no match for his art. But... he is unaware of his incredible power.

Vile: So, to take advantage of this power of his, you're planning to go Maverick?

Sigma: Precisely.

Vile: And you want me to help you.

Sigma: That's why I've come here.

(Vile turns away.)

Vile: You're insane.

(Sigma only grins.)

Sigma: I won't force you; this isn't something most Reploids could do.

(Sigma puts away his Saber and turns the other way. Before walking off, he turns his head towards Vile.)

Sigma: I need someone who can go Maverick of their own accord.

(Sigma walks off, and leaves Vile behind. The scene then forwards back to the present, and Vile stares off at a raging fire in the distance.)

Vile: Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm the one that's gonna change the world!

(Vile leaps down from the highway as the scene fades to black.)

Scene 2: Central Highway Area
(Vile lands on the highway below and speaks out loud.)

Vile: Incite rebellion... Split up the Hunters' forces. That's the way to get to X... But Sigma... I may be the wildcard you hadn't counted on!

(Vile makes his way along the Maverick-infested highway, and runs into X at the end.)

X: Vile! What are you doing here?

Vile: X... Ha ha ha ha... How do you like being Sigma's puppet?

X: You've been drawn into Sigma's rebellion as well?

Vile: Rebellion? I couldn't care less! I just hate you! That's all!

(Vile battles and defeats X.)

Vile: Ha ha ha... Now let's find out which one of us is truly the better Reploid.

(Vile blasts X backwards.)

Vile: Sigma was wrong! You're not the Reploid with the power to change the world. I am! Me, Vile! Gah ha ha ha ha ha!

(Vile blasts X again, and narrowly dodges a charge shot from Zero. Vile leaps backwards as the Crimson Hunter, Zero, dashes forward to protect X.)

Zero: X! Hang in there, buddy!

Vile: Zero! If you're going to take that B-Class Hunter's side... Then I'll have to destroy you too!

Zero: Do your worst, Maverick! But..

Vile: ...

Zero: Not today. Let's get outta here, X

(Zero and X warp out, leaving Vile alone.)

Vile: X, X, X! Why does everyone like that guy? Whatever. When the time comes, they'll all know the truth.

(Vile warps out.)

Scene 3: Vile's Plan
(Vile is contacted by Sigma.)

Sigma: Vile... My supporters have been revolting across the land. What is your plan?

Vile: Sigma! I have my own way of dealing with things. You just sit back and enjoy the show.

Sigma: Hm. Very well.

Vile: You'll find out who really has the potential you talk about...

Scene 4: Abandoned Missile Base
(Vile selects the Abandoned Missile Base plant as his first destination. After he clears the area of the Mechaniloids, he encounters Chill Penguin at the end.)

Chill Penguin: Vile... I've never seen a Maverick who thought he was a Hunter before.

Vile: Hunter? Ha! I've never once entertained such thoughts.

Chill Penguin: Wah ha! Good answer, but you're still acting crazy. What exactly do you plan to do?

Vile: Same thing I always do... Crush anyone and anything who gets on my bad side!

(Vile battles and defeats Chill Penguin, then returns to the Stage Select.)

Scene 5: Electromagnetic Power Plant
(Vile selects the Electromagnetic Power Plant next. After making his way through the plant, he encounters Spark Mandrill at the end.)

Spark Mandrill: Vile? What are you doing here?

Vile: I should ask you the same question. What are you accomplishing by acting as Sigma's cheerleader?

Spark Mandrill: His plan's not wrong. At least... I don't think so...

Vile: Any plan involving X is wrong! I'll put a stop to it!

(Vile battles and defeats Spark Mandrill, then returns to the Stage Select.)

Scene 6: Energy Mine Ruins
(Vile selects the Energy Mine Ruins next. After he clears his way through the mine defense systems, he encounters Armored Armadillo on the far side.)

Armored Armadillo: I'm under orders to destroy anyone who comes here. It doesn't matter who it is.

Vile: Ha ha ha... All you do is follow orders. You really think you can take me on?

Armored Armadillo: You don't respect authority. You don't follow orders. I pity you.

Vile: Pity!? Don't pity me! You don't know anything about me!

(Vile battles and defeats Armored Armadillo, then returns to the Stage Select.)
