Sometime in the 22nd Century…

Reploids, highly advanced robots capable of the ability to think, feel, and act entirely of their own accord, cooperate with humans to create a peaceful society. There are problems, however; those reploids of whom cause destruction and chaos, or Mavericks, have become a constant source of discord throughout the world. In response, the "Father of Reploids" Dr. Cain founded the Maverick Hunters, an organization dedicated to combating this threat.

There are three Hunters of this organization that stand above all others. The first of them is Mega Man X, better known as X. His design and unique mental capacities served as the basis for all reploids that came afterward. Next is Zero, a powerful and highly advanced robot (though curiously, not actually a reploid himself) with a warrior's spirit and a mysterious past. The third member is Axl. This brash young hunter is also the prototype of a new generation of reploids that would be able to adapt to their situations using an innate "copy ability".

It had been rather slow lately at Hunter Base, and Axl was getting restless. Nothing major in the way of Maverick outbreaks had happened in a few months, and if he had to sit at a computer and "navigate" for the small cadre of Hunters he had under his command for one more day, he feared he might go crazy. Luckily for the dual-wielding Hunter, his day was not to be that monotonous. Zero and X had called him to a meeting. They said it was very important. As he walked down the hall with his fellow hunters, he couldn't help but wonder what it was about. He turned to X. "So, X. You know what they want to see us for?"

The Blue Bomber just shrugged his shoulders "Beats me. Alia just said something about three new recruits and ran out."

"Same here." Zero added.

Axl cringed. He really didn't want to babysit three more rookie hunters. He wanted to be out in the field, using Mavericks as target practice.

Upon entering the repair bay, they were greeted by the top navigator herself, along with 3 stasis pods. "Take a good look, boys. These three New Generation Reploids will be your direct protégés."

"What? Now I have more of them to take care of? This is so unfair! I just want to take out some Mavericks, not play teacher to a bunch of newbies!"

"Now, Axl. I assure you, these three are very different." A male voice spoke up from the corner of the room. It was none other the commander of the Maverick Hunters, Signas. "These three possess unique talents and skills that would make them very valuable members of the team. In short, these aren't your ordinary rookies. Come take a look."

The Hunter Trio took a look at the three pods. The first two Reploids looked rather similar. The leftmost one had a red, bulky frame with gray-plated knuckles, while the rightmost one had a slimmer frame with an arm cannon similar to X's own. Curiously, both had blonde artificial hair just like Zero's, although it wasn't arranged in a ponytail like the latter's. The third one appeared to be female. She had a gold framework and long, black hair. The girl was welding what appeared to be a mechanical crossbow.

Alia soon got the group's attention again. "Now, you're probably wondering what their names are. Trust me, they're… quite unusual. Especially the girl on the right."

"Well, out with it. What are their names?" Zero asked impatiently.

"From left to right: Zack, Cody, and London."
