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



Script for the game Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, X's storyline only (See also: Vile's story).

Scene 1: X's Decision
(The scene opens on the Central Highway overlooking the city. A short scene of a bomb affixed to a bridge support pylon is shown, and the scene cuts to a aorker Reploid repairing some previous damage. Text begins scrolling in a black background throughout this scene.)

Narrator: 21XX. Robots with the ability to think and act for themselves have been created. They are dubbed "Reploids".

(The scene cuts back to the Reploid. A human boy approaches and waves at the Reploid.)

Narrator: The age of humankind and robots working and living together had begun.

(The Reploid waves back, but hears an explosion. As the two look up, they see the bridge above them explode, and a truck crashes over the ledge. The scene blacks out and the narrative continues.)

Narrator: As robot society spread and prospered, there was in increase in criminal incidents involving Reploids.

(Debris rains down around the area, and the narrative continues.)

Narrator: To combat this new wave of crime, a special investigation and security organization consisting entirely of Reploids was founded. They are the Maverick Hunters.

(The scene reopens as X, a Maverick Hunter, approaches the scene. He sees the human boy safe, and kneels down next to the Reploid who had been crushed by the truck.)

X: No...

(X gazes around, and sees a piece of bomb debris inscribed with the emblem used by Sigma and the former Maverick Hunters. He stands to his feet with a determined look on his face.)

Narrator: This is the story of the Maverick Hunter known as X.

(The scene fades.)

Scene 2: Central Highway Area
(X warps to the highway above and communicates with Maverick Hunter HQ.)

Navigator: X! There is a high probability that the insurgency there was caused by Mavericks!

X: Mavericks? This must be Sigma's work!

(X proceeds along the highway, battling the Maverick robots, until he reaches the end of the area. Storm Eagle's airship, the Death Rogumer, descends upon the highway, and VILE leaps out in a fearsome ride armor.)

X: Vile! I should have known you'd be involved in Sigma's rebellion!

Vile: Rebellion? Ha ha ha ha... I don't know what you're talking about!

X: !?

Vile: I'm just here to cause trouble for you! I hate you!

(Vile engages X, but is beaten. X approaches Vile's ride armor, but Vile reaches out and grabs X by the chest.)

X: Agh!

Vile: You underestimated me. I hate that about you... X! There's nothing you can do! I'll defeat you and Sigma! Then I'll change the world!

(Vile begins to crush X some more with the Ride Armor.)

X: Aaaaagh!

(Zero suddenly shows up and blasts the arm off of Vile's ride armor. X drops to the ground as Vile is thrown backwards. Zero dashes to protect X and raises his arm to fire again.]

Zero: X! Are you alright?

Vile: Hmpf... Zero... Why would someone as powerful as you align yourself with X? He's just a B-Class Hunter, nothing more!

Zero: Vile... You're nothing but a Maverick now.

Vile: ...

(Zero charges up again and fires just as Vile leaps back to his ship. Vile escapes aboard the Rogumer, and Zero attempts to fire again. After Vile leaves, Zero turns to help X up.)

Zero: Grrr...

X: Zero! What happened to Vile?

Zero: All I know is that he's our enemy now.

X: ...

Zero: X... I'm gonna stay on Sigma's trail a bit longer. You get back to Hunter Base and take it easy.

X: Gotcha... Let's hook up again later.

(Zero turns to walk away, but X stops him.)

X: Zero! Thanks... You saved me again.

(Zero gazes at X, then dashes away, and X returns to Hunter Base.)
