They attack the city and some Reploids try to convince X shot a human, but instead he shot on the Reploids and tries to protect the city, passing through a highway and confronting Vile.
 * 2) Friend: (旧友) After the highway incident, Zero asks X to investigate a series of earthquakes that are happening near the base of the Maverick Hunter's 13th Polar Region Unit in Alaska. Once there, he discovers Mavericks took over the base and are using it to cause the earthquakes, which can create a avalanche and destroy the nearby city. At first, X wonders if this is being done by his friend Marth, but inside the base he discovers Marth was frozen by the real responsible, Chill Penguin. X obtains the Foot Parts in the base.

Zero prepares to burn the forest to avoid more problems, but X asks to give him a chance to help the animals, going after the responsible for this. Zero says he has until sunset to do so, and X rushes into the forest to find a way to help them. In the way, he fights against RT-55J and finds the Armor Part, which protects him from the trap set by Sting Chameleon. X manages to free the animals and fights against Chameleon.
 * 6) Samurai: (サムライ) X defeated Sting Chameleon, but his buster became unusable because of the damage it suffered in the battle.

Suddenly, a giant tower appears from the ground of the city X was passing by, and it destroys a large area around it with energy, and is charging to cause more destruction. X climbs the tower to stop it and fights against Boomer Kuwanger before it can destroy what was left of the city. Having trouble in the battle, X uses the energy of the tower in his buster to fire a powerful shot, destroying Boomer Kuwanger, part of the tower and his own buster with one shot. After this, Sigma's flying fortress appear and challenges X to fight against him.
