"X, we've reached the designated drop zone. Prepare to deploy in 10 seconds..." X closed his eyes as the countdown began. 'Just like the last time...' he thought as the ship's computer continued the countdown. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1! Deploying now!" The hatch opened and X plummeted to the city below.
Zero rushed onto the scene and readied his saber. "Clear the area! We've got this under control!" Flame Stag leapt next to Zero and asked, "Hey, where's X?" Zero grinned as he looked skyward and said, "Oh, he's coming. Don't you worry." Flame Stag averted his gaze upwards as well, squinting his eyes against the bright sunlight.
X continued to fall as he approached the monstrous Mechaniloid. He charged his arm cannon as he descended from the heavens. Firing a shot, he planted himself against a building and began to slide down to the fight. "There's the Blue Bomber!" Flame Stag laughed as he charged his own weapon. "What are you doing!" Zero shouted as he noticed the malicious grin upon Flame Stag's face. "I'm gonna give our boy a fighting chance..." he responded as he turned to face the Mechaniloid. The superstructure was already in ruins as it prepared to attack another building. Flame Stag knelt down upon his haunches as his body became engulfed in flames. "Speed Burner!" Flame Stag rushed under the Mechaniloid, the intense heat from his body welding the monster's feet to the cement it was standing on. "Great job, Flame Stag! X and I will take it from here! Everyone else clear the area!" The other Reploids nodded as they scrambled to clear the area. One of the Reploids, however, was captured in the escape. It struggled to get free as X landed in front of the Mecaniloid. He pointed his gun at the power core before noticing the trapped Reploid. "No! Not again... I can't hesitate this time..." he said as his weapon began charging. He aimed his weapon, but his programming wouldn't allow him to harm another Reploid. Zero saw the warning signs all over again and rushed in, trying to slice the arm that contained the Reploid off from it's wielder. Although successful, the manuver bought the Mechaniloid enough time to break free from the cement. "X! Take the shot! It's now or never!" X nodded, steadying his arm to aim at the crimson power core. His shot burst forth from his X Buster, shattering the core in an instant.
Back at headquarters, the report was being filed as X, Zero, and the Flame Stag squad were being debriefed. "Excellent job. There were no casualties, and little property damage," Colonel stated. "But, the attack on the city was like last time... Do you think that Sigma has risen again?" "Although it's highly unlikely," Cinnamon started, "we cannot rule out that possibility. It wasn't documented that Sigma was truly destroyed in the battle." Zero looked down as he placed a hand on his chin. "It's true. We won that battle, but it doesn't mean that we have won the war. Until we fully destroy Sigma, we cannot say we have truly won..." "Right. So we shall dedicate our efforts to tracking down the ones responsible for the attack."
