X-Hunter Stage

The X-Hunter Stage, known as Counter Hunter Stage (カウンターハンターステージ) in Japan, is a set of stages from Mega Man X2. It is the fortress of the X-Hunters, hidden in the North Pole. After the defeat of the eight bosses, the base is located by Dr. Cain and X invades it to stop the X-Hunters.
