Script of all narration and dialogue in Mega Man X2. Includes tabbers with the official English localization, the original Japanese script, and an English fan translation.
It has been 6 months since the destruction of Sigma and little has changed. The Maverick revolt started by Sigma is over, but Mega Man X and the new generation of Maverick Hunters have yet to destroy all of Sigma's followers.
Led by information gained by Dr. Cain, Mega Man X and the rest of the Hunters have tracked the last of the Mavericks to an abandoned Reploid factory. There they hope to wipe out the last of the resistance. Little do they suspect that real war is about to begin...
It has been half a year since the fight with the strongest Maverick, Sigma... X's main mission is to deal with Sigma's remaining Mavericks.
Today, X and his fellow Maverick Hunters have been ordered by Hunter Base to investigate and destroy a factory where Mavericks are supposedly being manufactured. But this is little more than a prologue to a whole new battle for X...

Eight Mavericks defeated
Dr. Cain: Mega Man X! I've located The X-Hunters base! It's at grid location 00. That's right at the North Pole!
Mega Man: Roger, Dr. Cain! I'm on my way!
Dr. Cain: It will take some more time to reactivate Zero... Slow them down Mega Man X!
Dr. Cain: X! I've found the X-Hunters' base! Point Double-Zero, the North Pole!
X: Understood, Dr. Cain. I'm on my way.
Dr. Cain: It will take some time to repair Zero. Until then, good luck.
Dr. Cain: I'm sorry X... One of the X-Hunters attacked the base and... took all of Zero's parts away... They are going to rebuild Zero at their base. I tracked them to location 00 - the North Pole
Mega Man: I can't let them tamper with him Dr. Cain. I've got to save him!
Dr. Cain: I'm sorry, X... but one of the X-Hunters just showed up at the base... and took all of Zero's parts... They're going back to their hideout to resurrect Zero as a Maverick. I did find out that the X-Hunters' base is located at point Double-Zero, the North Pole...
Sigma: ...It seems that the X-Hunters' plan has failed. But don't worry. I've prepared a fun treat for you. I'll be waiting for you at the Central Computer.
Sigma: Look who I found wandering around Mega Man! My friend here has a small problem with you. It seems that you let him die and he's not too happy about that! Now I think it is time that he repays the favor!
(Zero destroys the fake Zero) Zero: Sigma, you should have studied the blueprints closer! There is only one Zero!
Sigma: Wait, Zero! I know your secret! You were destined to follow me!
Zero: Maybe so, but I still don't like you!
Sigma: Fine. If you will not follow me, then I'll watch you die once again!
(Sigma escapes) Mega Man: Zero!
Zero: Sorry to keep you waiting, Mega Man X. The greetings will have to wait. We've got to defeat all the Mavericks including Sigma! I'll take out the main computer, and you follow Sigma. Let's go!
(Zero punches a hole in the floor) Zero: Here it is, X! Sigma lies just ahead!
Sigma: Long time no see, X. I've been waiting for this day. Let me introduce you to my new partner. Fight to your heart's content, old friends.
(Zero destroys the fake Zero) Zero: Sigma! That wasn't a very good copy of me, was it?
Sigma: Damn it, Zero! Why are you turning on me?! You should know I'm not your real enemy.
Zero: I just don't like you.
Sigma: Tch!
(Sigma escapes) X: Zero!
Zero: Sorry to keep you waiting, X. But we'll catch up later! All we have to do now... is defeat Sigma! I'll destroy the base's main computer! X! You go after Sigma.
(Zero punches a hole in the floor) Zero: Here it is, X! Sigma lies just ahead!
Sigma: Look who I found wandering around Mega Man! My friend here has a small problem with you. It seems that you let him die and he's not too happy about that! Now I think it is time that he repays the favor!
(Zero is defeated) Mega Man: Zero...
Zero:
Mega Man: Do you remenber me... [sic]
Zero: Yea... I guess so... Sorry to cause you so much trouble. X, you need to go after Sigma! I'll try and destroy the main computer!
Mega Man: Take care of yourself, Zero. I don't have time to put you back together again!
Zero: I'll be ok. Get going, X!
(Zero punches a hole in the floor) Zero: Here, X! The true Sigma is in the room just ahead!
Sigma: Long time no see, X. I've been waiting for this day. Let me introduce you to my new partner. Fight to your heart's content, old friends.
(Zero is defeated) X: Zero...
Zero: ...X?
X: Did you get your memory back, Zero?!
Zero: Yeah... It seems I've caused you a lot of trouble. X! You go after Sigma. I'll destroy the main computer in this base!
X: Are you trying to die, Zero?!
Zero: I'll be fine. Just go!
(Zero punches a hole in the floor) Zero: Here, X! The true Sigma is in the room just ahead!
Sigma battle
Sigma: You are merely a bothersome insect, Mega Man X! It is about time that I crush you beneath my heel!
(Sigma is defeated) Sigma: Mega Man X, I have lost to you again... Each defeat only makes me stronger and serves to bring you closer to your ultimate doom! But, something is not right. I... don't quite understand... Why did Zero... He is ... last... of the doctor's creations... Arrrrrggggghhhhh...
Sigma: Do you plan on interfering with me to the very end, X?! Then I, the upgraded Sigma, will personally bury you in darkness.
(Sigma is defeated) Sigma: X... It seems I've lost once more. ...But I can be resurrected over and over, and gain new strength. Your victory is only momentary! But why did Zero... he is... the last of... the... Wi... Num... ers...
Ending
Joined by his friend Zero, Mega Man X gazes out over the sea. Sigma has once again been destroyed, but X wonders if the fighting will truly end. Was Dr. Light's dream of a world in which reploids and humans lived together in peace merely a dream? The price of peace is often high, X thinks to himself. Who or what must be sacrificed for it to become reality? And when the time comes, will he be able to do it? The future holds the answers or...
X rescued his best friend, Zero, from the threat of Sigma, who had returned. His mission as a Hunter accomplished, the sea of the morning sun that he and Zero gaze upon now attempts to awaken X's distant memories. X ponders the reason for the burning power and warm comfort that flows in his cold body. Humans and machines. A peaceful world where two contrasting life forms coexist. This is the utopia that a scientist once hoped for. Will he ever learn of Dr. Light's wish for him? X. You may now rest the great power hidden within your small presence as you prepare for a new battle. He prays that this time of peace will not be a fleeting one...
Notes
↑In the English localization, X is labeled by dialogue boxes and referred to by other characters as "Mega Man", but this is a mistranslation, as he should be called "X". For more information, see the List of misconceptions page.
↑In the original Japanese, Serges is the only character to ever refer to X by his full title as "Mega Man X" in this game, a nuance regarding his connection to Dr. Wily, which was lost in the English localization.
