Mega Man ZX Script (Aile's story)

Script from the game Mega Man ZX, Aile's story only.

*Note: Because of the huge amount of dialogue there is in the optional and side missions, only the main missions have been included in this script.

Scene 1: The New World
(The scene opens as a flock of birds flies by. A blond-haired figure stands on a hilltop, speaking into a communicator.)

???: Hello! Thank you for calling Giro Express Transporters! We can take anything, anywhere!

???: Giro? Is that you?

Giro: Ah, the Guardian... or should I say client.

???: Did you receive the package from the archaeological recon unit?

Giro: Yes, I got it.

???: My unit is heading for the agreed upon rendezvous point. It's a little sooner than expected, but let's meet up there.

Giro: Alright.

(The scene shifts to show Aile looking out over the valley with the Slither Inc. building prominently visible.)

Giro: Hey Aile! You ready to move out?

(Giro walks over to Aile, who was too deep in thought to notice.)

Giro: Aile! Did you hear me!?

Aile: ...

Giro: You can see the Slither Inc. building from here. They sure have done a lot to save this country.

Aile: The country maybe, but ten years ago, their security force couldn't save my mom. We were surrounded by Mavericks... Even now I can still hear the screams of the people. The Mavericks took everything from me.

Giro: I remember the day I found you, all alone. I know it's tough, but I doubt your mother would want you to be so sad. Besides, you're not bad in a pinch. I bet you didn't know that all of our customers like you.

(Aile whirls around.)

Aile: Not bad!? Giro! Is that supposed to be a compliment!?

Giro: Hahaha! Anyway, we have to get moving. The client is already making their way to the rendezvous point.

(Giro and Aile walk back to their motorbikes.)

Aile: Hey Giro, who are those Guardian people we took the job from? They haven't even told us what's in the package they want delivered so badly.

Giro: The Guardians are a defense force that banded together to fight the Mavericks. Right now, they're moving from place to place investigating the cause of Maverick outbreaks. As for the package, try not to ask too many questions. I'm sure it's very important and very dangerous. Don't get too involved or there might be trouble.

(Three energy shots suddenly come from off-screen and hit Giro's bike. They both duck down behind the bikes.)

Aile: W-what's happening!?

Giro: Those are Mavericks! How did they get here!?

(Three Galleons appear and fire again at Giro's bike, which starts to smoke.)

Giro: Ah! They must be after the package!

(The Galleons fire at both bikes and Aile's suddenly explodes, throwing her and the package off the side of the cliff.)

Aile: Yaaah!

Giro: Aile!!

Scene 2: Deliver the Biometal
(The scene fades in to show Aile waking up in the middle of a shady forest next to a river.)

Aile: Ugh...

(Aile stands up.)

Aile: Oww, that was a long fall.

Giro (over radio): Aile! Are you okay!? The package! Do you see it!? It should've fallen near you.

(Aile sees a floating object a short distance away.)

Aile: Is that it?

Giro: Listen! Grab the package. Then take it to the rendezvous point and give it to the Guardians! I'll join you later once I take care of business up here! Protect the package at all costs!

(Aile runs over to grab the strange object, but is stopped by three strangers. Two soldiers aim their guns at Aile.)

Bar: Who are you!? What are you doing here!?

Aile: H-hold on! I'm only delivering a package.

Prairie: Lower your weapons.

(The two soldiers put away their guns.)

Prairie: Are you a transporter?

Aile: Yes, I am... And you must be the Guardians?

Prairie: Yes. We heard an explosion and came to investigate.

(Suddenly a giant snake-like Mechaniloid, Giga Aspis, appears and rears up in front of the group.)

Maquereau: W-what's that!?

Aile: A snake Mechaniloid! Is that thing with the Mavericks!?

(Maquereau and Bar fire at Giga Aspis, but are unable to do any damage.)

Bar: Prairie! It's too dangerous! Take the Biometal and get out of here!

(Giga Aspis whips its tail around and knocks the two soldiers away.)

Maquereau: Aaagh!

(Prairie runs over and kneels by them.)

Prairie: Nooo!

Maquereau: J-just take it... and... go!

(Aile approaches.)

Aile: Hurry! Get up, we need to get away from here! They want the package! You have to leave it behind. If we take it, they're just going to follow us!

Prairie: But I can't let the Biometal fall into the wrong hands!

Aile: Is that Biometal thing that important!? Come on, we have to go!

Prairie: But... Sis... She left that for us. It's too valuable to just give it up now!

(Giga Aspis appears again. Vent dashes in front of Prairie.)

Aile: I know Giro told me not to get too involved... But she seems to think the Biometal is very important. I don't know what I should do...

(The strange object, Biometal Model X, floats down to Aile.)

Model X: Don't worry. I'll lend you a hand.

(Model X starts to glow brightly around Aile.)

Aile: Waaaaaah!

Model X: Biolink Established! M.E.G.A. System Online!

(A new blue-colored armor scheme materializes on Aile. She fires a Buster shot at the Mechaniloid, which reels back in pain. Aile stares down at her new Buster in surprise.)

Aile: *panting* What happened to me? Is this the power of the Biometal!?

Model X: Don't be afraid. I'm Biometal Model X.

Aile: Model... X? The Biometal's talking to me inside my head!

Model X: We have to move away from here or that girl will get caught in the middle. With our combined strength, we can fight them off!

Aile: ...

(Giga Aspis flees off screen. Maquereau sits up and Prairie stands.)

Prairie: She transformed!? Is she one of the chosen ones?

Aile: I just need to make sure this gets to the rendezvous point, right? It's too dangerous for you to follow me, so please just wait here until I can get help! I'm putting my neck on the line, so expect an extra fee when the bill comes!

(Aile starts to run after Giga Aspis.)

Prairie: W-wait!

(Aile stops and turns around.)

Prairie: Thank you for saving me. My name is Prairie.

Aile: And I'm Aile. I'll be your transporter today! Just wait. I'll bring back help!

Prairie: Okay... Be careful Aile!

(Aile fights through the area, destroying several Mavericks. She eventually finds Giga Aspis again, and fights it until she destroys it.)

Aile: Guess that about mops them up. You said your name was Model X. Why did you help me?

Model X: Do I need a reason to help people? You seemed determined to help that girl even though you've never met her before. I just gave your bravery a little power to back it up.

Aile: Power, huh? Well, whatever you did, it saved my hide. Bravery alone isn't enough to fight those things...

Model X: ...

Aile: The rendezvous point should be just up ahead, right? Let's go.

(Vent enters a transerver room and sees Fleuve and a few other Guardians waiting inside.)

Aile: I'm the transporter. I brought the package. Back there a girl named Prairie is waiting and needs your help.

Marue: No way! Come on! Prairie and the others need us!

(Marue and two other Guardians leave, leaving only Fleuve.)

Aile: What's their rush? Those Guardians seem to think Prairie is very important.

Fleuve: Amazing... It looks like you've managed to link up with the Biometal. Anyway, I'm glad it made it to us safe and sound.

Aile: Hey, have you seen Giro? There should have been another transporter. Has he arrived yet?

Fleuve: No. You're the only one that I've seen so far.

(Marue contacts them over radio.)

Marue: This is the rescue squad, we've found the others! We'll treat the wounded and then head on back to HQ.

Fleuve: Hold on. You haven't spotted another transporter out there, have you? Apparently a transporter has gone missing in the area.

Marue: Hey! There's some serious smoke rising from the next area. It's totally like someone has fallen under attack!

Aile: No... Giro! I'm sorry, but I'm going to need to keep the Biometal a bit longer. I have to save him!

Fleuve: What!? You would put the Biometal at risk again!?

Aile: Oh, I see! Now that your precious package is back, you don't care about the guy who risked his life to deliver it!

Fleuve: B-but!

Prairie: Wait! Fleuve! Let her go!

Fleuve: Prairie!?

Prairie: It's okay, Fleuve. She'll keep the Biometal safe from the Mavericks. Aile... You risked your life to save me even though you didn't know me. I have faith in you. I'll clear it with Guardian HQ. Go, help him.

Aile: Thank you, Prairie.

Fleuve: Okay, we'll provide backup then. You may already know this, but these devices known as transervers are scattered throughout the country. With these devices you can save your data and check mission requests. Let's start with saving data.

(Aile chooses whether to save or not.)

Fleuve: I've just received orders from HQ. You currently have two mission requests. One mission is to find your fellow transporter. The other mission is to complete a trial in order to get permission to enter Guardian HQ. Complete the two missions and return the Biometal to HQ. At HQ, we'll sign off on the transporter request and your work will be done. You can decide which mission to start first at the transerver.

Aile: Ten years ago, Giro saved me from the Mavericks... Now it's my turn to return the favor. Hold on Giro, I'm coming!

Scene 3: Locate Giro
(Aile chooses the "Locate Giro" mission and uses the transerver to teleports to Area B. She immediately sees some destroyed Mavericks.)

Aile: It looks like there was a fight here. I can try following this road. Maybe it'll lead to Giro.

Prairie: Aile? Come in Aile. About the Mavericks that attacked us, something with the whole thing is bothering me. There might be a clue in the ruins about what's causing the Maverick outbreaks. Check them out and see if you can find something.

(Aile continues through the area until she comes across a strange chip.)

Aile: What's this? Is this a computer chip?

Prairie: It must be a part that fell off one of the Mavericks. If you bring it back to HQ, we can analyze it. It might give us the lead we need. If you find anything else, bring that back too.

(Aile eventually encounters a large enemy airship. She defeats the ship but is unable to completely destroy it. A red-armored figure jumps in and slashes the ship with a beam saber, destroying it.)

Model Z: So this is the chosen one for Model X?

???: Yes, she's very special to me.

(The figure glows brightly, then appears as Giro.)

Giro: Aile, it looks like you've been chosen by the Biometal too.

Aile: Giro! Just what is Biometal? I don't understand what's going on!

Giro: This is my partner, Biometal Model Z. I'm sorry I kept this a secret from you, but I'm a member of the Guardians. You and me are both chosen ones. We can transform with the power of the Biometal. I was given an order to protect you from the people who are after the power inside you.

Aile: I'm a chosen one?

Giro: I didn't want to hide it from you. I was planning on telling you everything once we safely delivered the Biometal. Aile. Will you join me and the other Guardians? The Biometal is the key to understanding why the Maverick outbreaks are occurring.

Aile: This is all so much for me to take in. I just don't know Giro...

Giro: I don't want to force you to do anything against your will. It's your decision. I'm going to use the transerver to go back to Guardian HQ. I'll be waiting there for your decision. Please don't take too long.

(Giro walks offscreen.)

Prairie (over radio): It sounds like you managed to meet up with Giro. That's a relief. Oh, be sure to go to the transerver in the back room and select Mission Report. Then send confirmation to HQ that the mission has been completed.

Aile: Was Giro with me all those years just because he was ordered to protect the chosen one? I feel so confused...

(Aile returns to the transerver and sends a Mission Report.)

Scene 4: Pass the Test
(Aile chooses the "Pass the Test" mission and uses the transerver to teleports to Area C.)

Prairie: Hold on. It looks like Slither Inc's security force is starting to patrol the area.

Aile: Patrols? That's the first time I've ever heard of them doing those.

Prairie: Slither Inc. must have already heard about the Maverick attack. If you stay transformed, they might think you're in league with the Mavericks and attack you on sight. I'm sure the people around town will also find it hard to approach you if you look like that. In any case, it's too dangerous to walk around town transformed. Be careful.

(Aile finds a Guardian member, Dorado.)

Dorado: You're going to undertake the trial for permission to enter HQ right? There are four Guardians hidden like me throughout town. If you can find all of us, you pass the test. Let the trial begin! Good luck!

(Aile eventually finds a Guardian named Oelliet.)

Oelliet: Hoho! I shoulda known I'd get spotted in this hiding place. You aren't gonna catch my comrades so easily though. They're in places that require more than just strolling on in. Press the +Control Pad diagonally down to crouch while walking. Look around different places, you never know what you might find. I'm heading back to HQ. Good luck with the rest of the trial!

(Oelliet teleports away. Vent continues on and eventually finds another Guardian named Carrelet.)

Carrelet: Oh, looks like you found me! You should be careful of the security patrols. As long as they're giving you the green light, you're safe from attack. But if you're caught with a weapon they will open fire, no questions asked! Anyway, I'm heading back to HQ. Good luck with the trial!

(Carrelet teleports away. Vent continues on and eventually finds a Guardian named Congre near some security Mets.)

Congre: Yikes! Oh! You finally found me. I was afraid of running into the security force and getting hurt. That's why I've been hiding here. *phew* I thought they would find me for sure. Now I can finally head back to HQ.

(Congre teleports away. Vent continues on and eventually finds the last Guardian, Thon.)

Thon: Grahaha! Well done findin' me, little miss! I wish we had more of your kind in the Guardians. But whether you decide to join us or not is up to you. I'll be headin' back. See ya later!

(Thon teleports out. Prairie contacts Aile over radio.)

Prairie: It looks like you found them all. Head to Area C-2 and get the certification for passing the test. That will conclude your trial.

(Aile travels back to Area C-2 and sees Dorado waiting outside a transerver room.)

Dorado: You passed the test. Here, take this.

(Dorado gives Aile a Stuffed Animal.)

Aile: A stuffed animal? *giggle* It's really cute, but is this supposed to be my certification!?

Dorado: You better take care of that. It's one of Prairie's most prized possessions. Anyway, that concludes your trial. There's a transerver in the room behind me. Don't forget to file a mission report!

(Aile goes back to the transerver and does a Mission Report.)

Fleuve: Mission accomplished. Well done. You have permission to travel to HQ. Use the transerver to get here.
