Chapter 5
Mission 2: Airport Assault

X arrives back at Hunters HQ, "Great job, X. I heard you defeated Gen. I.P. without
getting a scratch and nice new looks on your legs." Zero compliments. "Thanks, so what's next?" X
asks. "We detect another capsule at General Storm Eagleed's location at Airport 1001." The staff
reports. Let's rest for a while... Some of my men needs a rest from the last mission." X says.
"Before you told me that you were the only reploid created by Dr. Light, correct?" Zero asks.
"Yeah." X replies. "Since you defeated I.P. without receiving any damage we just want to see what
your circuitry system is like. Maybe we can even make this force more powerful." Zero explains.
"Umm... All right, is this going to hurt?" X asks. "Not one bit." Zero replies.
X goes to the reploid data room for analysis. Zero tries to get more answers on Sigma's
whereabouts. After 2 hours, X walks back into the main room, "So how was it?" Zero asks. "They
said my circuitry system was a huge mystery. They couldn't understand the designs. We need a
robotics and computer ultimate genius to understand my system." X replies.
The next day, X and his team are ready to battle at the airport, "X, be careful of General
Storm Eagleed. He relies on speed, not strength. And try to get through his high speed wind." Zero
explains. X and his team teleports to the airport.
The team arrives and X sees many flying Maverick reploids across the airport. X starts
dashing toward the enemy and shooting them down. His team are providing backup for him and
destroys the rest of the enemy. They enter the building and starts to destroy any Maverick reploids
in sight. The navigator connects his computer to the airport's system, "Sir, Gen. S.E. is located in a
giant aircraft next to the control tower." The navigator reports. "We should try to get to the control
tower. From there, I can jump out of the control tower and land on the aircraft." X explains.
X and his team heads for the control tower. They walk carefully through the airport
buildings. They come back out through the other side of the building, "Sir, the control tower is just
ahead." The navigator states. From behind X and his team, flying reploids appear and grabs X.
The reploid tries to squeeze X and some of his team aims at the reploid, "Wait! Hold your fire!
You might hit X!" The advisor shouts.
X struggles to get out. The reploid continues to slowly squeeze him. X starts to charge up
and releases a giant blast, destroying the reploid, "Ugh... Remember to torch those damn things
when you see them.... Damn that hurt......" X complains.
X and his team continues to the control tower. They climb very high up a building and
walk alongside the edge. X and his team walks toward the control tower, careless of height.
Though they were too careless, reploids on flying pads appear and shoot flames out at the team. X
and his team dodges the attack. Luckily no one was injured. X decides to fight fire with ice and
morphs his X-buster into an Ice Shotgun. He aims at the reploid located in the middle of all the
other reploids and fires an ice bullet. The ice strikes the reploid and the rest of the ice shatters
shooting small, sharp icicles at the rest of the enemy, destroying all the reploid on flying pads (I
forgot what some reploids were named).
X reverts his hand back to a X-buster "Sir, we destroyed the enemy but we left the pads
undamaged. Maybe we can use the pads to get us to the control tower quicker? We can't use these
to get to the aircraft since it is to high for these pads to get there. So should we use the pads?" The
advisor asks. "Hmm... Fly to the tower? Let's try it, we'll probably be able to dodge enemies that
way." X replies. X and his team grabs a hold of the flying pads and take off to the control tower.
As they were flying, X accidentally crashes into a flying reploid and falls down. His team goes to
find him.
X continues to fall and lands on some fuel tank. The tanks explode destroying X's radio
system, but leaves X undamaged. The explosion reveals a strange pathway, "This section of the
airport was never mapped before." X says to himself. X quickly glance at his surrounding location
and sees a shine of blue light on the end of the hall to his right, "Must be another capsule? Wonder
if its my Energy Amplifier upgrade?" X asks himself.
X dashes toward the endless shines of blue light emitted by the nearby capsule. X stops in
front of the capsule and Dr. Light appears, "X, enter this capsule and receive an upgrade to your
helmet. You will be able to break ceilings and falling debris with the new helmet. Also remember,
Your Energy Amplifier Enhancement upgrade is at the steel mill. Now enter!" Dr. Light explains
the enhancement and disappears. X walks into the capsule and white light surrounds him. The
capsule reads his helmet data and chips are getting applied to his head. The capsule reconstructs
the helmet's look. X's body is starting to turn from nearly complete blue to blue, white, gold, and
red. After 15 seconds, X steps out of his capsule and the capsule gave a bonus by repairing his
radio system.
X turns on his radio system, "Team, This is X. I fell into an explosion, but I'm okay. I try
and signal you guys on where I am." X says and quickly climbs out of the area. He jumps out of
the hole the explosion left and shoots his X-buster high into the air to signal his team on where he
is. X sees his team coming toward him on the flying pads, "Sir, we can see you from our location.
Please hold your position." The advisor says.
His team gives X his flying pad, "Got another new look sir?" The advisor asks. "Yeah...."
X replies, " Let's head on to the control tower right now."
X and his team flies toward the control tower. They reach their destination and X blasts
the door open to the control tower, "Heh... I love this time of mission." A unit says. Some of X's
team heads in first to cover X. X runs in shooting any Maverick reploids he sees. They destroy all
the reploids on the first floor and destroy the guards of the elevator. X quickly gets into the
elevator, "All right team, Head back to HQ. I'll take care of the rest." X orders.
X heads for the top floor and eliminates everyone at the control room. X accesses the
control system's computer and tries to find more info on the aircraft. The computer reads that it is
located to the right of X. X looks to the right and sees the giant aircraft emerging from the bottom.
X runs and jumps through the glass. He soars through the air carelessly and grabs a hold of the
thrusters. The thrusters nearly incinerates X, bur X dodges and heads for the top of the aircraft. He
sees Gen. S.E. through the top window and charges up. Gen. S.E. looks at the top of the aircraft
and destroys the roof. X jumps avoiding the explosion and lands on the leftover of the aircraft. S.E.
slowly flies downward, "You must be X. I've heard you destroy Gen. I.P. and manage to leave
without damages. I'll try and not to make the same mistakes as he did..." S.E. says and prepares
himself.
The battle initiates. S.E. starts flapping his wings, throwing wind at X at the speed of
150MPH. The wind pushes on X and blows him toward the flaming thrusters. X nearly gets
knocked off the aircraft and starts dashing toward S.E. The dash helps X cut through the wind and
X blasts his charged X-buster and S.E. throwing him to the other side of the aircraft. X charges
again and S.E. dives into the air. X blasts away his charged X-buster and continues to shoot at him
with the uncharged X-buster. S.E. manages to dodge X's attack and dives toward him at 250MPH.
S.E. tries to strike him, but X manages to dodge it and lay a hit on S.E. The battle continues for
10mins and X is still okay, but S.E. is badly injured. He decides to do one last thing. He flies down
to the aircraft and launches a powerful tornado at X. The extensive power of the tornado knocks X
off the aircraft.
X clings back onto the aircraft and S.E. walks toward to the edge of the aircraft to oversee
X, "Heheh... Looks like this is the end of your hunt." S.E. says with an evil tone. S.E blasts a
tornado down to X. X jumps to the other side of the wall and climbs back up. He charges and
blasts S.E. toward the thrusters. S.E. falls over and the thrusters consume S.E. in flames.
X's Variable Weapon System quickly copies S.E.'s weapon data and applies them to X's
weaponry system. Debris of S.E. destroys thrusters causing the aircraft to fall. X quickly teleports
back to HQ, while the aircraft crashes into the airport destroying every Maverick reploid there.
