Megaman X7
OPENING STAGE - LABORATORY RUINS
Alia: X!
X opens the door to his capsule.
Alia: I have a reading from the Ruins. There is a strong concentration of the Sigma Virus!
X: How is that possible?
Alia: Sigma must have been revived by someone.
Signas: We need you to investigate the area and find out why the Sigma Virus is there.
X: I'm on my way!
READY
X teleports down to a ruined laboratory. He is in the Blade Armor from X6.
X: This place looks oddly familiar…
He runs through the large metal doors and finds himself inside a laboratory with all sorts of odd gizmos. He runs through the halls without any opposition until he comes to a seemingly bottomless pit.
Alia: X, you should have come to a giant pit.
X: Yes, I am there.
Alia: The readings are coming from below the ground. You'll have to fall down the pit!
X: Got it, Alia!
X jumps into the pit.
OPENING STAGE - LABORATORY RUINS: AREA 2
READY
X finds himself in yet another dark hallway. He runs ahead until he comes up to a group of Mechaniloids. Charging up his X-Buster, he lets a large blast come from his arm cannon, destroying the Mechaniloids. He continues on until he recieves a message from Alia.
Alia: Beware of the falling boulders!
X heeds the message and looks up to the ceiling and narrowly dodges a boulder. He continues to dash through the complex, dodging the falling boulders and shooting Mechaniloids, until he comes to a purple hatch. He goes through the hatch.
???: I knew you'd come!
X: Who are you!?
A red and white Reploid jumps to the floor. He carries a large backpack. He has short white hair and a short beard.
???: I am Dr. Keans!
X: That name sounds familiar… Dr. Light mentioned your name once…
Dr. Keans: Of course he did! I am Dr. Wily's old assisstant! I am going to your base to take Zero from his capsule and reprogram him. You won't stop me!
X: Wanna bet?
Dr. Keans: You can't stop me! To keep you from returning, I have a playmate for you!
WARNING - WARNING - WARNING
A redish-brown robot hovers down. It has a knight's mask with a long nose. He holds something that resembles a ninja star.
X: Wait a second! I know you! You're Tengu Man! I killed you.
Dr. Keans: I rebuilt him. Enjoy the battle!
Tengu Man Life: ---------------
Tengu Man leaps at X, who dodges and fires his X-Buster. Tengu Man sidesteps the shot and counters by throwing his ninja star. X is hit and some of his life goes down. Tengu Man throws another star, but this time X jumps, while charging his X-Buster. He lands and fires a charged shot at Tengu Man. He is stunned and leaps to the other side of the alley after recovering.
Tengu Man Life: ----------
Alia: X! Press the R2 button to perform the Giga Attack!
X: All right!
X takes out the beam saber, once belonging to Zero, and slashes it downward as three charged X-Buster blasts shoot out and hit Tengu Man.
Tengu Man Life: -----
Tengu Man recoils in pain, but begins to spin his ninja star. A gust of wind comes toward X and nearly blasts him off the edge. Tengu Man runs forward and throws his Ninja Star again, damaging X. Tengu Man laughs and prepares to throw his star again, but X jumps up and fires a charged blast at Tengu Man.
Tengu Man Life: --
As Tengu Man is hit, X pulls out the beam saber and slashes through Tengu Man, delevering the final blow. He begins to blink and then he explodes.
Alia: X! Return to base immediately! We have a problem!
X: I'm on my way!
X strikes his victory pose and teleports away.
MAVERICK HUNTER BASE
X appears just in time to see a familiar, skull-shaped capsule hover out of a hole in the base.
X: Keans! What are you doing here!?
Dr. Keans: I'm taking what belongs to me of course! Your friend Zero!
X: No! You can't take him!
Dr. Keans: Sure I can. He won't wake up for another 100 years, and by that time, he'll be reprogramed and you will have been killed! Hahaha!
Keans hovers out of the base and blasts off towards the horizon…
Alia: X! That scientist has kidnapped Zero!
X: I know, I saw him. He have got to get him back!
Signas: Fortunately Douglas managed to slap a tracer on the capsule so we know where to find him.
X: Great job Douglas! Good thinking.
Mistress: There is a problem though…
X: Mistress! What is it?
Mistress: Although we know where he is, we need to assemble the main component, the "key" if you will, to get into the fortress. Four Reploids hold the parts of the key, but they have been infected with the Sigma Virus, turning them to Mavericks.
Signas: You must defeat them so we can rescue Zero!
Alia: The domains of the Maverick Keyholders are spread across the globe.
A simulated globe appears in the center of the briefing center. A wedge-shaped hologram appears in the high left corner of the screen. The hologram has the head of an insect on it.
Alia: SURGE WASP is a technological genius who has created a giant computerized hive, capable of controlling most electronic equipment.
A second picture appears below the first one. This one features a portrait of a three-headed Maverick.
Alia: INFERNO CHIMERA resides near a dormant volcano. He researches the volcano, and though the base is inactive, the security systems are still in place.
A third head appears beneath the first and second with a picture of a black eagle's head on it.
Alia: IMPERIAL GRIFFON is the heir to a Reploid king. He lives inside a giant castle where his royal protectors guard the castle.
Finally, a fourth head appears with the image of a purple shark's head.
Alia: Finally, BOOST HAMMERHEAD is a propulsion scientist. He works at a storm shelter where he can create storms without endangering the public.
Signas: Four other Mavericks are in the area but are of no concern as of now.
X: I'll do whatever it takes to rescue my friend!
X clicks on the portrait of SURGE WASP and teleports to the beehive.
