Prologue

The endless Reploid rebellions continue. Humans, however, have begun migrations to the Moon, thanks to new technology. This plan is called the "Jakob Project", and an Orbital Elevator was built as part of it. Highly advanced new generation Reploids have been brought to the Moon's surface to work.

MEGA MAN X8
PARADISE LOST

Announcer: There has been an accident on board the No. 4 descending container. All personnel...

X: This is X. I've encountered an accident while on patrol of the Orbital Elevator. Dispatch rescue Mechaniloids immediately!

(Sigmas emerge from the debris)

X: Si... Sigma!?

???: To protect ourselves from damage during the accident, we had to copy a sturdy Sigma Body. We new generation Reploids enjoy complete and total immunity to all viruses... So even copying something as dangerous as Sigma provides no risk.

X: Who are you?

Lumine: I'm Lumine. I'm the director in charge of the Elevator, and of the Jakob Project.

Opening Stage

File:MMX8 - Before Noah's Park.png
Alia: I'm picking up Maverick readings near the Jakob facility! All Hunters near Point Galapagos, please dispatch immediately!

X: Roger!

Noah's Park

Alia: X... This new Maverick... It's pattern is very unusual. I'd like to do some research on it, so try to pick up plenty of samples.

X: Got it. OK, Axl, let's get going!

Axl: Ready when you are, X.

Alia: When you need Axl's help, call him in with a Character Change.

Axl: Better watch out, X. I might just steal your spotlight.

Alia: You two be careful. I'll send Zero over later to give you a hand.

(Crabs-Y 1)
Alia: X! Axl! I've examined the data on that Maverick. Looks like it grabs its opponents and immobilizes them. If you're grabbed by the enemy, call for a Tag Assist and help is on the way!

(Crabs-Y 1 defeated)
X: Alia... I got a sample of that Maverick for you.

Alia: I'd like to start analyzing it right away. Bring it to me as soon as you can!

X: Roger. I'm on my way. Axl, I'm counting on you to clean up here.

Axl: No problem, X! This'll be a snap.

(Wide gap)
Alia: Axl, it looks like you'll need to hover over from the edge to continue onward. To hover, press the jump button again and hold it while in mid-air.

(Rare Metal ledge)
Alia: Looks like there's a ledge above you. If you jump high enough, you can reach it.

(Zero arrives)
Zero: Axl, pick up the pace! This is no time to slack off!

Axl: You show up late and have the nerve to complain? I can more than handle a few Mavericks all by myself anyway.

Zero: That's the spirit! Let's move!

(Crabs-Y 2)
Alia: Now, you two! The Attack Gauge is full! You can use the Double Attack! It's an ultra-powerful combo! Time it carefully!

(Crabs-Y 2 defeated)
Axl: Ha! Piece of cake! Snagged a sample from that Maverick, too!

Zero: Nice work! Now take it and head back, Axl.

Axl: OK! I'll leave the rest up to you.

(Building entrance)
Alia: It looks like the entrance to that building is above you. Use the Double Jump to get up there.

(X returns)
X: Sorry to keep you waiting, Zero. How've you been holding up?

Zero: Barely broke a sweat... C'mon! Let's go!

(Protectoral)
Alia: I've completed my analysis of enemies who use protective barriers! They can completely defend against normal attacks, but you can break their barriers. X's full Charge Shot does the trick, as does Zero's third hit in a combo... And Axl can break barriers with repeated concentrated shots.

(Boss arena)
Alia: X, Zero... Can you hear me? That Maverick's signal is getting really close now. According to my analysis, the Double Attack should work best on this Maverick. When the Attack Gauge is full, use the Double Attack!

Vile appears

Vile: Ahaha! How nice to see you again, X!

X: Vile!?

Zero: He used to be a Class A Hunter, but now he's our sworn enemy! He's a Maverick and a wanted criminal.

Vile: I'd love to stay and play, boys, but I'm afraid have too much work to do.

X: Lumine!?

Vile: That's right. The Orbital Elevator is under our control now.

X: Just what do you plan to do?!

Vile: It begins now, X. A new world will be born! Ha ha ha ha!

Briefing

Alia: They're after Lumine, the director of the facility. If that's the case... Then the ultimate goal must be control of the Orbital Elevator.

X: I don't know what the deal is, but Vile kept talking about some new world beginning.

Alia: They must be up to something big... Oh! I'm picking up a Maverick reading!

(Navigator selection)
Alia: Let me introduce your new navigators...

Layer: Nice to meet you, Hunters. My name is Layer. My specialty is analyzing enemy abilities. I hope I can be of use.

Pallette: Hi! I'm Pallette. I'm good at analyzing routes through stages.

Alia: I don't suppose I need to say it, but I - Alia - will also assist in navigation. Before you head into battle, be sure to choose a navigator to assist you. Of course, if you're feeling confident, you can always choose to go it solo.

Stage Select

Troia Base

Alia: You'll have to complete training sessions for each area in order to move on. The next area may change depending on how well you've completed the previous one.

(First challenge)
Alia: The training area will adjust its difficulty based on the scores you've received. The enemies that appear in this mode will also become stronger as you get better.

(Cut Man)
Alia: I have some important info, everyone! Unknown data has been downloaded from the outside! It's titled "CM." I wonder what it could mean?

(Boss arena)
Alia: I've taken a close look at the area that the target is in, but... I see evidence of the shape having been changed many times by the program in charge. The target itself likely possesses the ability to alter proportional features.

TBA

TBA

Layer: This place was originally a training facility for Hunters. It's programmed so that you must clear each area in order to progress to the next.

(Boss arena)
Layer: The management program of the training area is named "Helios," after the sun. I've detected the energy used by "Helios" in the target. Apparently, the target can alter its surroundings. It'll try to use the environment to its advantage. Be careful!

TBA

TBA

Pallette: You have to clear each area in order to move on to the next one. Depending on your score, the next training session will be altered.

(Light Capsule)
Pallette: I'm picking up what looks like an incredibly tough substance that is resistant to attack. Only the power of a black hole could put a dent in it. It'll take a huge amount of energy.

(Cut Man)
Pallette: Oh no! There's some outside data being downloaded! The filename is "CM!" I can't figure out what this data could mean...

Optic Sunflower

Primrose

Alia: Looks like there's a gravity control system in place in this facility. You can probably open up new routes by rotating the gravitational pull.

(Gravity blocks)
Alia: There are blocks around here that are affected by the changes in gravitational pull. You should take note of the position of the blocks and predict the way they'll move. Some enemies can be destroyed by falling blocks, so be sure to use them to your advantage.

(Green gravity switches)
Alia: It appears that the gravity manipulation switches operate differently in this room. They should help you find a route to the next area if you get stuck.

(Boss arena)
Alia: I've detected a Maverick signal up ahead. There are no gravity switches in here. But apparently the target has the ability to alter gravity at will. Be careful when gravity is altered. You don't want to get caught up in the chaos.

TBA

TBA

Layer: This facility has a gravity control system installed. If you change the direction of the gravitational pull, items in the area may be affected.

(Rolleroid)
Layer: I've detected an enemy with copyable DNA. You can copy the ability to walk on inhospitable surfaces.

(Boss arena)
Layer: Here's what I know about the upcoming target: The room contains no gravity switches, but the target has the ability to change the direction of gravitational pull at will. Just like the other areas you've come to, background objects may be affected. Now's your chance to use any weapons you may have that aren't affected by gravity.

TBA

TBA

Pallette: There's a complex system of switches in this facility that changes gravitational pull. Be careful of falling objects when you change the gravitational direction.

(Light Capsule)
Pallette: It looks like this room has an extra teleporter... I wonder where it leads to?

Gravity Antonion

File:MMX8 - Gravity Antonion Screenshot.png
X: You used to be an incredible scientist. What happened? What are you up to?

Antonion: Incredible scientist? Who are you to say such things? I don't pursue my research just to earn praise from the likes of you.

X: Have you gone Maverick as well?

Antonion: Maverick? Once again, you attach labels to me. What arrogance! Hmpf. At any rate, if you choose to stand in my way, I'll destroy you!

File:MMX8 - Gravity Antonion Screenshot.png
Zero: You used to be an incredible scientist, but it looks like you've gone Maverick now.

Antonion: Incredible? Maverick? What do those words even mean?

Zero: You'd have to ask someone smarter than me.

Antonion: Your honestly is matched only by your supreme foolishness. Well, at any rate, if you choose to stand in my way, I'll destroy you!

File:MMX8 - Gravity Antonion Screenshot.png
Zero: Has Sigma made you like this? Did he force you and the others to go Maverick?

Antonion: Maverick? You actually think you can sum my master up with that word?

Zero: All I know about him is that we can’t let him get away with this or the world's in trouble.

Antonion: Your honesty is matched only by your supreme foolishness. If you can't understand our great plan, then you must be eliminated.

File:MMX8 - Gravity Antonion Screenshot.png
Axl: Antonion... You used to be such a genius. Have you gone insane? What are you planning?

Antonion: Insane? Ha ha. That's funny. Are you saying that you yourself are perfectly sane? Are you even sure you're on the right side?

Axl: I'm pretty sure. It's not too hard to tell good from evil. That much I know for sure.

Antonion: Ha! I couldn't agree more! The problem here is the world we live in. But I plan to fix all that!

Vile battles

File:MMX8 - Vile Mid-Boss Screenshot.png
X: Vile! Where have you taken Lumine? Do you plan to hinder the Jakob Project?

Vile: Reunited after all this time apart, and all you do is bombard me with questions? Don't worry about our little Lumine. We're taking great care of him. Ha ha ha... The Orbital Elevator is too important to us to hurt the one who operates it.

X: Don't you know what you're doing? The Jakob Project is an important joint venture between humans and Reploids!

Vile: Chill out, X... Let's enjoy this little reunion, OK?

File:MMX8 - Vile Mid-Boss Screenshot.png
Zero: Vile! What do you plan to do with the Elevator and Lumine?

Vile: Lumine? Ha ha ha... Don't worry. We're taking very good care of him. The Orbital Elevator is too important to us to hurt the one who operates it.

Zero: That toy's a little too complicated for Mavericks like you, Vile.

Vile: Ha ha ha... How I've missed you, Zero. What do you say we have a little fun and make the most of this reunion?

File:MMX8 - Vile Mid-Boss Screenshot.png
Axl: Vile, was it? What are you up to here? What do you plan to do with Lumine and the Elevator?

Vile: Don't worry about Lumine. Unlike you, he holds some importance to our plan.

Axl: I don't care if you were once a Class A Hunter... You're Maverick now, and I know just how to deal with scum like you!

Vile: Ha ha! Did I make you mad? Bring it on!

File:MMX8 - Vile Mid-Boss Screenshot.png
Vile: Ha ha ha ha ha! Why don't you just give up now and get it over with? The world as you know it? Mavericks? Kiss it all goodbye! Mayhem, doom, and destruction! That's what we were built for!

Noah's Park revisit

File:MMX8 - Vile Mid-Boss Noah's Park Screenshot.png
X: It's time to hand Lumine over, Vile. This time, I won't take "no" for an answer.

Vile: Ha ha ha... Lumine? Always the positive thinker, aren't you? Look around you, fool! Your world has already begun to crumble!

File:MMX8 - Vile Mid-Boss Noah's Park Screenshot.png
Axl: Oh man... I'm getting sick and tired of seeing your ugly mug, so often. It's time you let Lumine go and turned yourself in.

Vile: Lumine? Ha ha ha. The world's falling apart at the seams, and you're worried about him? I'll send you to oblivion along with the rest of this rotten world!

Hunter Base

First Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - First Maverick Screenshot.png
X: Darn!

Alia: X? What's the matter? The mission's only just begun.

X: That's right... It's begun again... How long must this war go on?

Alia: .........

Axl: Just the thought of wiping the floor with those Mavericks makes my trigger finger itch!

Alia: Axl!

X: No, Alia... Axl's right. There's no time to be wishy-washy here. Even as we speak, Mavericks are causing havoc.

Second Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - Second Maverick Screenshot.png
Layer: Great job, Zero.

Zero: Huh? Oh, thanks.

Pallette: Zero! Have you forgotten already? I'm Pallette. This here is Layer. We're the new navigators here. Don't forget about us! Layer wanted to talk to you and waited here the whole time for your return. Right, Layer?

Zero: Oh, sorry. Anyway, what is it, Layer?

Layer: Um... I did some research, but I'm unable to determine Lumine's location. Um... Anyway... That's all.

Zero: Hmm. Well, no matter what the Mavericks are up to, looks like I'll have to stop 'em.

Third Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - Third Maverick Screenshot.png
Alia: Phew... That's the third one. But we still don't know what the Mavericks are up to.

Pallette: We still haven't determined exactly why the new generation Reploids are going Maverick.

Layer: I'm running simulators right now, but it looks like their virus resistance is absolute.

Axl: Yeah, I'm a new generation prototype and I can confirm that. I'm immune myself.

Pallette: But if Axl's a prototype, then that means he could go Maverick, too... But maybe since he's a prototype, he'll be OK. Let's analyze his data to be sure.

Axl: What? Hey! I'm no Maverick! Heck, I'm a Maverick Hunter!

Fourth Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - Fourth Maverick Screenshot.png
Alia: I've completed the analysis of the Maverick data acquired so far. What makes new generation Reploids resistant to viruses is their copy chip. The copy chip can actually change a Reploid's DNA.

Axl: Did you examine my data?

Alia: Yes, I compared your data to the copy chips in new generation Reploids. I found something very interesting.

(An image of Sigma appears on the screen)

X: Sigma!?

Alia: The data embedded in the copy chips closely resembles that of Sigma! I'm not exactly sure what this means, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't worry me...

Fifth Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - Fifth Maverick Screenshot.png
X: Sigma... I've suspected as much ever since Vile showed up.

Alia: Whoever's behind it, they were most certainly after Lumine and the Orbital Elevator. There are some dark forces at work behind the scenes here. I'll continue my analysis.

X: I hope you uncover something. By the way, I noticed a Reploid copying Sigma's body back at the Orbital Elevator. Could that be connected in some way to them going Maverick?

Alia: I doubt it. Theoretically, there's no danger in copying others' bodies. X, you've fought Sigma bodies before, so you know how tough their design is.

X: I suppose all I can do now is continue taking care of the Mavericks and collecting data.

Sixth Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - Sixth Maverick Screenshot.png
Layer: Good work out there, X. Um... Zero looks awfully down in the dumps...

X: Oh? Are you worried about him, Layer?

Layer: No... Um... Not really... As an operator, I'm just concerned about the overall welfare of the team. That's all...

X: Zero's been used before by Sigma to create a virus. He's upset that his data was used in an attempt to destroy the world...

Layer: Oh, my... Poor Zero...

X: He shouldn't blame himself. The problem's already been solved anyway. It seems Sigma may be involved in this new threat as well. Zero wants to take care of him for good this time. So do I.

Seventh Maverick defeated

File:MMX8 - Seventh Maverick Screenshot.png
Alia: Phew... Looks like there's only one Maverick left. Could this be the last of them? Or is this just the beginning?

Layer: It's been a long time since they've gotten their hands on Lumine. The Elevator seems normal so far, but that's just making me more nervous.

Axl: Just try not to think about it. We've come this far. Let's just take care of that last Maverick and move on, OK?

Alia: You're right, Axl. There's no time to be worried.

X: Right! Let's go!

Eighth Maverick defeated

X: There's not doubt in my mind now. This whole incident has Sigma written all over it. Where is he, anyway!?

Alia: It's obvious that Sigma's involved, but things are bound to be different this time. It doesn't seem as if he's controlling these new Mavericks like puppets. They all seem to... BE him...

Axl: Do you mean copies of Sigma?

Alia: I'm... not sure. So far, all the sites attacked have been related to the Jakob Project.

(An alarm goes off)

Alia: Huh!? I'm picking up a transmission!

(Sigma appears on the screen)

X: Sigma!

Sigma: Long time no see, X.

X: You just don't know when to quit, do you?

Sigma: Don't worry, X. It'll all be over soon and we'll never have to meet again. All the primitive space development of your world now belongs to me...

Zero: What? Space?

Sigma: That's right. Our future lies in the sky! Your old world has outlived its usefulness.

X: Maverick scum! What's your scheme this time?

Sigma: Scheme? This is providence! I'm merely ushering evolution along its natural path.

Axl: Evolution?

(The transmission ends)

X: So, Sigma was really after the Jakob Project all along?

Alia: If you stop to think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Space development and the emergence of new generation Reploids aren't unrelated.

Zero: So, he's causing these new generation Reploids to go Maverick, huh? We can't let him get away with this.

Alia: Sigma's transmission was disrupted by the orbit of the satellite. This is lucky! The Elevator is still functional, so we can use it to get to him!

Jakob

Alia: The Orbital Elevator is used to transport equipment into space. Good luck out there!

(Boss arena)
Alia: You'll be reaching the top shortly. Be ready for anything.

Layer: Orbital Elevator control system... all green. You're cleared to move in.

Vile

File:MMX8 - Vile Jakob Screenshot.png
Vile: Ha ha ha. You're struggling awful hard for a world that's doomed.

X: So, it was Sigma pulling the strings the whole time, wasn't it, Vile?

Vile: Ha ha ha... You finally piece it together, X? The Orbital Elevator... the energy... the space minerals... the rocket data... The route to space - the thing that's allowed this world to survive this long - is ours!

X: I don't care what you plan to do. I'll put a stop to it no matter what!

File:MMX8 - Vile Jakob Screenshot.png
Vile: Don't you ever get tired of the whole "justice" thing?

Zero: Don't you ever get tired of being Sigma's lap dog?

Vile: The Orbital Elevator... the energy... the space minerals... the rocket data... The route to space - the thing that's allowed this world to survive this long - is ours! How can you take this world seriously when it's all about to end?

Zero: Hmpf! I think I'll take care of you before I go after your boss.

File:MMX8 - Vile Jakob Screenshot.png
Vile: Ha! You're still concerned with justice when the world is on the verge of destruction?

Axl: You've got it, buddy! Thought I'd dispense a little justice your way before I go after Sigma!

Vile: The Orbital Elevator... the energy, the space minerals... the rocket data... The route to space - the thing that's allowed this world to survive this long - is ours! At times like this, how important is your precious term "Maverick"?

Axl: I'll tell you as soon as I'm done turning you into scrap!

Jakob complete

File:MMX8 - Jakob Complete Screenshot.png
Zero: Vile... Sigma... Just like old times...

Layer: Zero... Does it remind you of the virus?

Zero: So, you heard about that? He tried to use me to destroy the world.

Layer: .........

Zero: That's why I've got to find him and turn him into a pile of molten scrap! Be my navigator. Help me find that Maverick before he fulfills his plan!

Copy Sigma

X: Sigma!?

Sigma: I shall allow you to call me by that name, for I am indeed Sigma.

X: You plan to take revenge on every Reploid... Every human... in the entire world? You're completely mad! I'm putting a stop to this right now!

Sigma: Put a stop to what? We already control the moon. That old world has decayed and rotted. I will usher in a new world to replace it! But, before that, X, perhaps it's time for our final showdown!

File:MMX8 - Copy Sigma Screenshot.png
Zero: Sigma!? Can't say I was looking forward to seeing you again.

Sigma: Zero. What a shame... You had the abilities and potential to become like me.

Zero: You... you tried to use my DNA. I'll teach you what happens when you mess with me!

Sigma: I'm afraid not. The moon is under my control and the plan is entering its final stage. The moment of the world's unraveling is upon us!

File:MMX8 - Copy Sigma Screenshot.png
Axl: Sigma!? Did you think you could keep us away by running and hiding in space like a coward?

Sigma: Run? Hide? You're mistaken. We merely chose to leave that ignorant planet behind.

Axl: Whatever you say. Either way, I'm gonna toast you right now!

Sigma: Which one of us will be "toasted?" Let us see... You are not one of the chosen. Only we new Reploids may live in this new world! I've no use for flimsy prototypes!

Gateway complete

Zero: I can sense it, too. It's him.

Axl: Seemed like it.

Vile: So, you still refuse to give you your struggle, huh? Are you so blind that you've somehow convinced yourself that hope remains?

X: As long as I'm standing, there's hope! I'll defeat both you and Sigma!

Vile: Ha Ha ha... I suppose it'd be a waste to just destroy you now. Maybe I'll wait till the last possible moment and have a little fun with this.

File:MMX8 - Vile Devil Bear Screenshot.png
Vile: So, you still refuse to give up your struggle, eh? Are you so blind that you've somehow convinced yourself that hope remains?

Zero: Struggle? I'm just tired of running into you and Sigma every time I turn around.

Vile: Ha Ha ha... I suppose it'd be a waste to just destroy you now. Maybe I'll wait till the last possible moment and have a little fun with this.

File:MMX8 - Vile Devil Bear Screenshot.png
Vile: So, you still refuse to give up your struggle, eh? Are you so blind that you've somehow convinced yourself that hope remains?

Vile: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

(Vile attacks as the door shuts, separating the Hunters)

Axl: Oh no! X!

(If Zero is Axl's sub-character)
Axl: Phew... Well, that about wraps that up!

Zero: Yeah, but Sigma's still out there. It's too early to pat ourselves on the back. Oh no!

Vile: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

(Vile attacks as the door shuts, separating the Hunters)

Axl: Oh no! Zero!

Sigma

File:MMX8 - Sigma Screenshot.png
Sigma: Welcome, Maverick Hunter. It's good to see you again, X. Our meeting was fated, X. Our destinies come to a head right here, right now. The time has come to usher in a new age. And you, X, are an essential part of it.

X: .........

Sigma: Your dedication to what you refer to as "justice" is what first got me thinking... I realized the imperfection of this world, and decided I must change it.

X: Don't blame me for your insanity, Sigma!

Sigma: Ha ha ha... it's too late, X. The gears are in motion. There's no turning back now. My children were the ones, X. The new generation Reploids were the ones. My children are responsible for the development of space. Mankind's lifeline...

X: Children? What are you talking about!?

Sigma: The Jakob Project... The program that gave birth to the new generation Reploids... It was all my doing! The world that was birthed by that plan rightfully belongs to me! Now, X... You will be destroyed along with the rest of this decayed world!

(Sigma is defeated)
Sigma: Impossible! How... could you... You couldn't... Destroy... the old... world... new age... Hrrgh!

File:MMX8 - Sigma Screenshot.png
Sigma: Zero... Who could have imagined that we'd cross paths at the end of the world. The moment your virus entered my system, the seed had been planted. That's when it all began... The destruction of the world!"

Zero: I've heard about enough of this garbage, Sigma.

Sigma: Don't get angry, Zero. I'm actually indebted to you. It is because of you that my children are able to create this magnificent new world in space.

Zero: Children? .........

Sigma: That's right. The new generation Reploids born of the Jakob Project all bear copy chips containing my personal data. Now, the end of the world, and of you, has come! Farewell!

(Sigma is defeated)
Sigma: Impossible! How... could you... You couldn't... Destroy... the old... world... new age... Hrrgh!

File:MMX8 - Sigma Screenshot.png
Sigma: Hmpf. So you must be the one they call Axl... The prototype of the new Reploids. I'm surprised you've made it this far.

Axl: Hey... Stop calling me a prototype. I'm me. And you... You're a Maverick.

Sigma: You are a puny and weak prototype! Nothing more! Your copy ability is far from developed. That's why you were left out.

Axl: The Mavericks are one club I'd prefer to be left out of!

Sigma: Only the pure new generation Reploids - my children - are worthy!

Axl: Your children?

Sigma: Yes, prototype... My children. The new generation Reploids born of the Jakob Project all bear copy chips containing my personal data. And now, the final phase of that project begins! You shall be destroyed!

(Sigma is defeated)
Sigma: Impossible! How... could you... You couldn't... Destroy... the old... world... new age... Hrrgh!

Sub-character returns (Hard Mode)

File:MMX8 - Sigma Mirage Claw Screenshot.png
Sigma: Wallow in despair and hopelessness! The plan to destroy the world you so love is finally coming to fruition! I shed no tears for you and your kind! Ha ha ha ha ha! It will all be over soon!

X: Even if you were behind the Jakob Project... I won't give up until I've put a stop to your evil scheme!

(Zero saves X)
Zero: Hey, am I late?

X: Zero! Are you alright?

Zero: Don't worry about me. We've got business to take care of here.

(Axl saves X)
Axl: Hey! I'm here!

X: Axl!

Axl: The gang's all here, huh X? Well, let's go mop the floor with that evil scum!

(Sigma returns)
Sigma: Ha ha ha... What's this? Your friends arrived, eh? No matter! You are powerless in the face of the ruler of the new world! Powerless!

File:MMX8 - Sigma Mirage Claw Screenshot.png
Sigma: Wallow in despair and hopelessness! The plan to destroy the world you so love is finally coming to fruition! I shed no tears for you and your kind! Ha ha ha ha ha! It will all be over soon!

Zero: Sigma! As long as I still function, you won't get your happy ending!

(If X saves Zero)
X: Zero! Are you alright?

Zero: X, you're OK!

X: I'm just glad I made it in time. Let's go!

(If Axl saves Zero)
Axl: Hey! It's me, Axl!

Zero: Axl!

Axl: Looks like I've made it in time. What do you think of me now, Zero?

(Sigma returns)
Sigma: Ha ha ha... What's this? Your friends arrived, eh? No matter! You are powerless in the face of the ruler of the new world! Powerless!

Sigma: Wallow in despair and hopelessness! The plan to destroy the world you so love is finally coming to fruition! I shed no tears for you and your kind! Ha ha ha ha ha! It will all be over soon!

Axl: Ha! If I give up now, all my efforts would be wasted. I refuse to give up!

(If X saves Axl)
X: Axl! Are you OK?

Axl: X! So you made it, too...

X: There's no time to lose! Let's finish this!

(If Zero saves Axl)
Zero: Looks like I made it in time.

Axl: Zero! You made it!

Zero: Well, I couldn't leave the whole thing up to you, could I? C'mon... Let's go!

(Sigma returns)
Sigma: Ha ha ha... What's this? Your friends arrived, eh? No matter! You are powerless in the face of the ruler of the new world! Powerless!

Lumine (1st)

X: Oh, Lumine. Are you OK?[note 1]

Lumine: Am I OK? Of course. Now that you've defeated Sigma, I suppose you're satisfied. Thanks to you, the plan has gone smoothly.

Axl: But Lumine, weren't you just used by Sigma?

Lumine: Used? I don't think so. You see, he merely helped my plan along. The new generation Reploids have been awakened, and the new world is at hand!

Lumine (2nd)

X: Lumine! What are you doing? Don't tell me you've gone Maverick, too...

Lumine: Maverick? You don't really think that's the case, do you? That's why you can't finish me off, right? You don't have it in you...

X: .........!

Lumine: The copy chips we new generation Reploids possess... They were derived from data from hundreds of old model Reploids. [sic] That means, of course, that Sigma was also included in the mix. Do you understand what I'm getting at here?

Axl: Copy chip? Sigma? That means that I'll go nuts like he did?[note 2]

Lumine: Sorry, but prototypes like you don't have the specs to cause something like that. Besides, was Sigma really crazy?

Axl: .........?

Lumine: He rebelled against your world. But he had his reasons... The rest of us new Reploids could turn like that at any moment... This decision to wage battle against the old world was made consciously. In other words, we possess the power to go Maverick at will!

(Flashback to the new generation Reploids in Sigma's form)

Lumine: X... Do you really have what it takes to stop us? You're merely tools of the humans... tools of the old world. You think you can stand up to those of us who have evolved this far? The world is changing. Therefore, it's only natural that evolution take its course! Now, line up to be exterminated!

(Axl shoots Lumine)

Axl: Don't let him get to you, X. He's the enemy.

Lumine: Enemy, ally... This issue isn't so black and white. Reploids, along with humanity, have irrevocably changed. The nature of their existence has also changed. You are not needed in our new world!

Zero: You can babble all you want, but we're not going to let you get away with this!

Lumine defeated

Lumine: Unbelievable... You may have defeated me, but it's too late to stop what's already begun...

Axl: I'll take on plenty more like you, if that's what it takes.

Lumine: Ha ha ha. You really don't have a grasp of the situation, do you? Oh well... You'll find out soon enough...

X: .........

(Axl approaches Lumine, only for a tentacle to burst from his chest and strike Axl in the forehead; Zero severs the tentacle, while X destroys Lumine with a Charge Shot)

X: Axl!

Alia: X... X... Status report!

X: This is X... Axl... Axl has taken damage, but he's fine. We're headed back now...

Ending

X: Awakening... That's how Lumine described it. He said this was evolution... If he's right... Then what are we doing?

(Fade to black)

Zero: I bet you've been thinking about what Lumine was saying a while ago. Well, don't let it get to you. Just becoming Sigma could hardly be called evolution. Anyway, X... Even if we Reploids are destined to join the scrap heap when that evolutionary step does comes about, we still have to fight... Not only against the Mavericks, but against our own destiny as well...

Zero: If what Lumine said is right than Sigma won't be coming back. Maybe this means I won't have to fight anymore.

(Fade to black)

Zero: I bet you've been thinking about what Lumine was saying a while ago. Well, don't let it get to you. Just becoming Sigma could hardly be called evolution. Anyway, X... Even if we Reploids are destined to join the scrap heap when that evolutionary step does comes about, we still have to fight... Not only against the Mavericks, but against our own destiny as well...

(Post-credits scene: Axl groans, as a tiny crystal left in his forehead shimmers)

Notes

  1. In Easy mode, the scene fades to black here and the game ends.
  2. Axl's spoken dialogue reads this as "Does that mean I'll go nuts like he did?"
