In the year 21XX, all the Mavericks have been neutralized thanks to the efforts of a Reploid scientist named, "Dr. Doppler". Using his Neuro Computer he has been able to suppress any abnormal behavior in the Reploids and prevent them from going berserk. Many of the most advanced reploids have gathered near their new mentor and founded "Dopple Town", a perfect Utopian community. With Dr. Doppler guiding them, the world seemed ready to enter a new golden age... After a few months...
The Mavericks who were supposed to have been neutralized by the Neuro Computer suddenly appeared and began to riot... At Maverick Hunter Headquarters, all the intelligence indicated that Dr. Doppler was the mastermind behind the invasion. Soon, the call went out to X and Zero to destroy the invading Mavericks and to bring Dr. Doppler to justice.
Maverick Hunter X and Zero. Dispatch!!
A few hours later, emergency contact was made by the headquarters of Maverick Hunter.
This is the headquarters of Maverick Hunter. We are under attack from the Doppler force. All units return to base immediately and return fire.
21XX. Mavericks have been wiped out thanks to the Reploid scientist Dr. Doppler. The most advanced Reploids have gathered in Dopple Town, a peaceful city created by Dr. Doppler. A few months later...
Suddenly, the Mavericks that were supposed to have been neutralized all revolted at once. After discovering that Dr. Doppler was the mastermind, Maverick Hunter HQ ordered X and Zero to capture Dr. Doppler and destroy the Doppler Army.
Maverick Hunters X and Zero, move out!
A few hours later, an urgent call came in from Maverick Hunter HQ.
HQ: This is Maverick Hunter HQ! We are under attack by Doppler forces and are returning fire! Maverick Hunters in the vicinity of the headquarters should return immediately and engage in counterattacks.
Zero: X, I'll clear out the enemies out here. You go ahead and deal with the ones inside.
(Mac appears) Mega Man: Mac where have you been?[note 1]
Mac: You're far too trusting, X. I'm now a member of Doppler's Army! You will make a fine addition to our forces once you have been shown the true destiny of the Reploid race.
(Zero saves X) Zero: Are you ok, X?
Mega Man: Thanks Zero. I'm ok.
Zero: I'll check around headquarters again. Be on your guard, X.
(Maoh the Giant is defeated) Zero: Looks like we've swept most of the enemies out of here. I'll go back and check on headquarters. Call me if you need me. See you later, X.
Zero: X, I'll clean up the enemies around the headquarters. You take care of the enemies inside.
(Mac appears) X: You're the Mac who went missing, aren't you?
Mac: Heheheh, you're so naive, X. I'm no longer a Maverick Hunter, I'm a member of the Doppler Army. Nothing personal, but I'm taking you captive.
(Zero saves X) Zero: Are you okay, X?
X: T-Thanks Zero. I'm fine.
Zero: I'm going to check the perimeter again. Stay sharp, X.
(Maoh the Giant is defeated) Zero: Looks like the enemy's been taken care of. I'll be working on repairing HQ for a while, but if you need me, just call me. Alright, good luck, X.

Eight Mavericks defeated
Mega Man: Any problems Dr. Cain?
Dr. Cain: I pulled some memory chips from the Mavericks controlled by Dr. Doppler. I analyzed them and found out that Dr. Doppler is trying to create a powerful new Battle Body by collecting the "special abilities" from the latest breed of Reploids.
Mega Man: Battle Body...?
Dr. Cain: First I thought Dr. Doppler was trying to create it for himself. But the information indicates that he will not be able to interface with it, so it must be for someone else.
Mega Man: Sigma!?
Zero: Can he still be alive??
Dr. Cain: A hidden laboratory has been pinpointed at Point D. All indications are that it is Dr. Doppler's secret lab. You need to get there immediately.
Dr. Cain: Yes... so, after extracting the memory chips from the wreckage of the Mavericks under Doppler's control, and analyzing the remaining memories, it seems that Doppler and his team are trying to collect special abilities possessed by Reploids to create the strongest Reploid battle body ever.
X: A battle body...?
Dr. Cain: Yes. Doppler was originally a scientist Reploid, so I thought he was building it for himself because he isn't capable of fighting, but it seems that someone else is making Doppler build the body.
X: Could it be... Sigma?!
Zero: Is he still alive?!
Dr. Cain: An unregistered research facility has been discovered at Point D. Apparently, it is Doppler's secret laboratory. Head there immediately.
X: Understood.
Zero: We'll end Sigma for good this time!
Mega Man: Any problems Dr. Cain?
Dr. Cain: I pulled some memory chips from the Mavericks controlled by Dr. Doppler. I analyzed them and found out that Dr. Doppler is trying to create a powerful new Battle Body by collecting the "special abilities" from the latest breed of Reploids.

Zero: X, I've come to help you! I'll stop the collapsing ceiling!! You destroy that junk robot!
(REX-2000 is defeated) Zero: X, there is an army of powerful Mavericks in Dr. Doppler's lab! They've been modified by Dr. Doppler into war machines. Be careful!
Mega Man: I'll watch my step. Thanks Zero.
Zero: I'm going to scout around. I'll catch up later.
Zero: X, I'm here to help! I'll take care of the ceiling! You destroy the bucket of bolts!
(REX-2000 is defeated) Zero: X! Doppler's research facility is crawling with formidable Mavericks! They've been modified for combat by Doppler. Stay sharp.
X: Got it, Zero. Thanks...
Zero: Okay, I'll go on ahead.
Godkarmachine O Inary battle
Bit: We've been waiting for you X!
Byte: Dr. Doppler modified us after our first battle against you.
Bit & Byte: Take a look at these new upgrades!!
マンダレーラ：まちかねたぞ、エックス！
ヴァジュリーラ：ドップラーはかせにより われらはあらたなるちからをてにいれた。
マンダレーラ：いま、そのちからをためさせてもらう！！
Byte: We've been waiting for you, X!
Bit: Dr. Doppler has given us a new power.
Byte: Now, we shall test that power!
Bit: X, you fought well to defeat Byte. But I will not go down so easily! The victory over Byte was your last!
Mega Man: What was that explosion?! Zero!! Are you ok?
Zero: Sorry X... I failed... It seems my power generator is damaged... I'll try and make it back to Dr. Cain's lab for repairs. You can't tell what is waiting for you, X. You better take my Beam Sabre with you... Crush them all, X. You're our last hope...
Zero: Sorry X... I screwed up... And it looks like it got my power reactor. I'm going back to Dr. Cain for repairs... Who knows what kind of powerful enemies you'll face ahead, so take my Beam Saber... Hurry and crush Doppler and Sigma's plans. I'm counting on you, X...
Vile (Goliath) battle
Vile: My waiting has finally come to an end! Prepare to die at the hands of the world's most advanced riding armor - the new "Goliath"!
(Vile is defeated) Vile: Don't think that this is the end, X! I will haunt you to the day you die.....
Doppler: I've been waiting for you X. I'm Dr. Doppler. I've been watching your battles closely. Your victories over my men have been most impressive. I need superior reploids like yourself, X! I offer you the chance to join us. Together we shall build a Utopia where the Reploids rule under the watchful eyes of Sigma, our lord and master.
Mega Man: No way, Doc! Your schemes end here and now!!
Doppler: Perhaps you are not as smart as I once thought! Prepare to be ripped apart and to be born again as part of the new body of Sigma!
(Dr. Doppler is defeated) Doppler: You are strong X... Strong enough to defeat Sigma...
Mega Man: Doppler, can you talk?!
Doppler: Sigma's true form is that of a computer virus... I was corrupted by him and... ...I created a horrific new body for him...
Mega Man: Where's the body now?
Doppler: It's in the underground hangar of this lab... I don't think Sigma has occupied it yet... Don't worry about me... Destroy the body before it is too late. Time is running out...
Doppler: I've been waiting for you X. I am Doppler. I've had a good look at your performance. It's quite a feat to defeat my men. Would you be willing to lend me your power? Together with us, we will build a utopia where Reploids rule the world under Lord Sigma.
X: No! Your plan, and Sigma's plan, end here!
Doppler: Hmph! Fool! Then I'm going to have to dispose of you. And you will be made into a body part for my Lord Sigma. Die, X!
(Dr. Doppler is defeated) Doppler: W-Well done... you may be... able to defeat... Sigma...
X: Doppler, can you talk?!
Doppler: Sigma is actually... a malignant virus program... he brainwashed me... And I've built a horrible body for him...
X: Where is the body?!
Doppler: It's in a hangar in the basement of this lab... but I'm fairly sure he hasn't taken it yet. Don't worry about me... just destroy that body as soon as possible. We don't have much time.
Zero: I'll keep going and destroy the power reactor. X, you go upstairs and destroy Sigma's body.
Sigma battle
Sigma: We meet again X... It was easy to corrupt that fool, Doppler. And I would have succeeded if you hadn't interfered. But we are always destined to meet, aren't we X? Let the eternal struggle begin!!
(Sigma is defeated) Sigma: Well done X... But I'm far stronger than my previous forms. Behold the power of the ultimate battle body!!
(Kaiser Sigma is defeated) Sigma: N... No it can't be! I can't even defeat you with this magnificent body..?! There seems to be only one choice now... I'll possess you!
(The Sigma Virus chases X) Mega Man: Damn! It's a dead end...
Sigma: Ha ha ha. Give up X. I'll possess your body and rule the whole world!!
Sigma: It's good to see you again, X... I've come this far using Doppler, and you've ruined it again... It seems I'm destined to fight you... Let's go!
(Sigma is defeated) Sigma: Impressive, X... But don't think this is the end! I'll give you a taste of the power of the ultimate battle body that I made Doppler create for me, right here, right now!
(Kaiser Sigma is defeated) Sigma: N-No way... this wasn't supposed to happen! Even with this body, I'm still no match for you... In that case, I will take that body of yours, X!
(The Sigma Virus chases X) X: Oh no! A dead end...
Sigma: Hahahahaha... too bad, X. Now I'm going to possess you and take the world into my hands!
Zero: How do you like that, Sigma? I picked up a Anti-Sigma virus program from Doppler and used it on my Beam Sabre!! Sorry about the delay X. I thought the program might be the only thing that would work against Sigma.
Sigma: My program... is... disappearing... But... someday... I... will...
Zero: How's that, Sigma? It's a Beam Saber attack with the Sigma Virus antibody that Doppler left behind! Sorry I took so long, X. I was on my way here after destroying the power reactor when I discovered this virus antibody in the computer room. This way, I can damage Sigma even without his body.
Sigma: My program... i-is... disappearing... I will see you again... one day...
Sigma: Aaarrrgggg... You're Doppler... How did you obtain this...
Doppler: How do you feel now, Sigma? Did you like my special vaccine for the Sigma Virus? X, I'm sorry to have given you so much trouble. I know I can never really atone for what I have done... But I will try to set things right by taking Sigma with me!!!
Sigma: Gwaaah! Y-You're... D-Doppler... W-What is this?! When did you...?
Doppler: What do you think, Sigma?! It's the taste of the Sigma Virus antibody that I had prepared! X. I know I've caused you a lot of trouble... I'm sorry for what I've done to the other Reploids... At the very least, I'll take the Sigma Virus with me to hell to atone for my sins.
Sigma: My program... i-is... disappearing...
Doppler: With that said... X... farewell...
Ending
File:MMX3 - Ending Screenshot.png X has crushed Sigma's plan once again. But many questions still occupy his mind...... "Why must humans fight against Reploids...?" "And, why must Reploids fight against each other..." As X stares at the burning remnants of Doppler's lab, his body trembles from an unknown sorrow. "What does fate have in store for me?" he wonders. He can only hope that someday Dr. Light's plan for him will finally be revealed. Unknown to X, his destiny has already been decided. To save mankind, he must destroy Zero. But only time will tell, when and why.....
File:MMX3 - Ending Screenshot.png X has repeatedly destroyed Sigma's plans at every turn. However, after the battle, all that remains in his heart is emptiness. Why must humans and Reploids... why must fellow Reploids... fight each other...? X stares at the lab of Doppler, who was controlled by Sigma... As he gazed into the flames burning so brightly, X's cold body trembled with grief and anger that had no where to go... And he didn't know now that his memories, which would one day be remembered, would doom him to a battle with Zero... And what will they see beyond that...?
Notes
↑Like Mega Man X2, in X3 all dialogue boxes erroneously label X as Mega Man. However, all characters now correctly refer to him as X.
