X's X-Buster became unusable after his previous battle, but he decides to go after Sigma despite his current state. In the fortress, X finds several broken Mechaniloids defeated by Zero, and finds a damaged Zero captured by Vile. Zero manages to escape and destroys Vile's Ride Armor, but it costs him his life. After defeating Vile and later Sigma, Sigma's head combines with a powerful giant wolf-like body. To defeat Sigma, X takes down the base, which burned when entering the atmosphere.
