Chapter 4
Mission 1: Ice Mountain

X and Zero arrives back at Hunters HQ. "Gives X the location of the eight Mavericks,"
Zero orders. "X? Aren't you going to hunt the Mavericks?" The staff asks. "No, I believe X will do
a better job than me. Plus, his abilities interests me and he is searching for answers on how to
become stronger and locate the hidden capsules." Zero explains. The staff types into their computer
and projects a map of where the Mavericks are, "We are also detecting a strange capsule at Icy
Penguigo's location. Might be the capsule you are looking for, X." The staff reports. X and his
team, assigned by Zero, teleports to the snowy mountain.
X and his team arrives at the snowy mountains, "All right team, this is my first time, so
expect many mistakes from me." X says. "To get to Gen. I.P. we must get through the caves
further ahead." The navigator states. "Let's move!" X orders. X's team walks across the snowy
field heading toward the caves. Unexpectedly, rabbit/bunny-like reploids appear and attack the
team. X charges and blasts away 10 of them. His team took care of the rest. Sadly for the
Mavericks, none of X's team were injured.
X's team arrives at the entrance of the cave, "I am detecting few signs of Maverick
Reploids in this cave." The navigator reports. "Few? Are you sure?" X asks. The navigator re-
checks and nods yes. "We best stay alert, sometimes computer can be so unreliable." X explains. X
and his team enters the cave they reached the middle of the caves and finds no sign of Maverick
reploids, as for X, no sign of a capsule either, "This doesn't feel right. I feel as if we are being
watched by millions of eyes across ceilings and walls of these caves..." X says.
X hears a squeaking noise and looks behind him. He turns his face back forward and a bat-
like reploid is screaming in front of his face. The caves lights up very brightly and thousands of
bats flew across the caves attacking X's team. X charges to full power and destroys many of the
bats. Most of his team manage to counter-attack, but few were getting chased by the bats. X
charges up once again to full power and destroys the last fleet of bats, "Is everyone okay?" X asks.
"Few of us are injured, most of us will still be able to get through this mission. The injured ones
will teleport back to base." The advisor explains.
They are nearly out of the caves, but X spots something glowing in the caves, "Team, wait
here for sec." X orders. He runs toward the blue glow. He sees a capsule shining blue lights around
the room, "A capsule...."X says to himself, surprised. He runs up to the capsule and a holographic
person appears in the capsule, "Dr. Light..." X says to himself again, softly.

"So you've come.... X, I have created you to choose your own path in life, and I hope the
world would allow you to choose a peaceful one. But now it seems your path has already been
chosen. It looks like now you are destined to fight. Because I thought the world might need a new
a new champion, since Mega Man became powerless after the attack by Dr. Wily, I have hidden
capsule like this one around the world. If you find more of these capsule and use them, you will
be able to increase your power beyond anything this world has ever known. X, your power's are
limitless. Your X-buster has the ability to damage anything no matter what type of armor, your
enemy has. But your X-buster cannot do limitless power attacks without your energy amplifier
enhancement. The capsule is hidden at the steel mill. But first, step into this capsule and receive
an Emergency Acceleration System. You can now dash across floors to get around faster or jump
farther than ever." Dr. Light finishes his speech and disappears.

X steps into the capsule and white light surrounds him. The capsule reads his data and
applies chips to his legs. X's team beeps to X, "Sir, Where are you?" His advisor asks. "Just wait
for a while." X replies. After 15 seconds the capsule shuts down and X steps out of the capsule
with a new look on his leg. X tries out his new ability and slides across the floor toward his team,
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting..." X says, happily. The team stares at his leg, "Sir, your leg looks
all white and gold now..." The advisor says. "I know, It's an enhancement I received. I can dash
across floors now. Okay, We're almost out. Let's head out of this cave and finish this mission!' X
proclaims.
X and his team makes it out of the cave, but encounters 2 reploids in Chimera Mech. X
shoots a reploid of one of the Mech. and hops in, "Hmm... how do I use these things?" X asks
himself. The other reploid charges at X with it's mech. X pushes the button on the joystick and
punches at the other mech., "What else can this do?" X asks himself again and thrusts his joystick
forward quickly and dashes his Mech. at high speed, "I would seriously kill in one of these!" X
dashes around jumps up and punches the other mech. It punches back and X punches it toward the
edge of the mountains. X punches once more and sends the other mech. flying off the mountains.
X jumps out of his mech., "I got to get me one of those!" X exclaims. "Sir, we are very
close to Gen. I.P." The navigator says. The team climbs up the mountains and sees the entrance to
Gen. I.P. across the fields, "Strange, this field is empty of reploids. It must be another trap." X
says. They walk across the field carefully. They are halfway to Gen. I.P. and X continues to be
careful. Unfortunately, they weren't careful enough. Fields of reploids pops out from the grounds
and starts throwing iceballs at extremely high speed at X's team. X takes down the first 5 lines of
reploids. His teams takes care of the rest. Some of the team were injured from the snowball attack
and teleports back to HQ.
X and his team finally arrives at the entrance of Gen. I.P. and X stares into it, "Sir, you
now have to go through this alone. We will be waiting for you back at HQ." The advisor says.
"Thanks for helping me get through this place. I'll see you soon." X says. The X's team teleports
back to HQ and X heads into the cave.
Two doors shuts tight behind him. X charges up and Gen. I.P. jumps down from the top,
"You must be X? The names General Icy Penguigo. Strange, I cannot get a lock on your abilities
or TB. No matter, you are weak to me as I was train under Sigma." I.P. says and shoots a sharp
ice at X at very high speed. X quickly climbs up the walls to dodge the attack. I.P. is surprised to
see X's speed. X jumps back down and blasts I.P. with his powerful blast. I.P. Jumps very high
and tries to land on X. X quickly dashes to the other side, "The abilities of this reploid is
unbelievable..." I.P. says to himself. I.P. blows an icy breath freezing everything in front of him,
including the air. X shoots his charged X-buster through I.P.'s icy breath and blasts I.P. to the
walls, "Im.. Impossible... his weapon should of froze. I only have one last weapon....." I.P. says to
himself while limping. I.P. jumps to the ceiling and triggers a huge ice storm at X. X lets the ice
storm wind to push him toward the wall. He quickly climbs up and shoots I.P. down. I.P. stands
still, "X... You are very powerful... you just might be able to defeat the other Mavericks. It's been a
pleasure fighting with you....." I.P. compliments X and starts to explode.
X's Variable Weapon System detects a destroyed reploid, duplicates I.P.'s weapon chips
and installs it into X. X tries his new weapon and turns his X-Buster into an Ice Shotgun. He fires
his Shotgun and the ice blasts out at high speed. The ice hits the wall and shatters, sending spikes
of ice all over the place. X looks around and teleports back to HQ.
