Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X2

Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X2 is a successor to Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X, which was released in 2005. Given a strong demand for more Mega Man X games, Capcom published the sequel recently in 2021.

Synopsis
The world has been devastated by Sigma's uprising in Mega Man X1. The city center has been reduced into a crater but lives are returning back, and a military type barrack city formed.

X and Zero assault the last fragments of Sigma's forces in a robot making factory, but Zero goes missing, much to X's concern.

Meanwhile, three Mavericks, known as the "X Hunters" plan to use Zero's parts to make him realize his true potential and revive Sigma. They send their Mavericks to buy them time and challenge X if he wishes to get Zero back before it's too late.

After storming the X Hunter's base, each of the hunters is killed eventually and X makes his way to stop Sigma who occupies a brand new fortress with new mechanical monstrosities waiting ahead. He brings with him Zero (depending if you saved him or not) who looks identical to the real Zero. If you failed to get his parts, it's the real Zero, but if you saved his parts, it's a fake duplicate Zero with the same personality traits. After Zero is beaten, Sigma awaits.

By coming back, he's caused outbreaks around, creating endless loyalists to his cause. X manages to destroy Sigma's brand new panther robot, his standard body and his viral form, sealing him away for a short time.

Dialogue :
Chapter 1 - The X-Hunters Dilemma :

Occurs when the introduction boss is destroyed.

** Deep in a secret lair, three Mavericks look intently at a giant hologram projector of Mega Man X. **

Serges : "I have called upon you today due to the urgency of the situation. It seems like their leader is called Mega Man X."

Violen : "This will be easy. Once I've crushed X with my fists, our plan will be a success."

Serges : "We must not use force against X. Not now. We cannot jeopardize the mission."

Agile : "Yes, indeed. We have to by sly and stab X in the back, when our opportunity rises."

Serges : "We must continue our plan. Given his undeniable power, we must delay his progress at any cost. **Points to a soldier** Activate the Maverick Squadron."

Agile : "I hope we have enough time. Is the plan going ahead, Serges ?"

Serges : "Yes, and everything is falling into place. We may be able to contact our master soon. However, I am experiencing trouble with the master control chip."

Agile : "We must hasten with the operation. It will not be long before X breaches our defenses..."

** The X-Hunters leave the room **

Chapter 2 - Trouble Brewing

2 Mavericks have been destroyed by Mega Man X.

Serges : This is an emergency. X has already destroyed 2 of our Mavericks without seemingly any resistance.

Agile : X's power is a force to be reckoned with. We must act with utmost caution.

Violen : I am growing impatient **Growl** He is ruining our plans !

Serges : The situation is becoming untenable. We may have to jeopardize the operation and intervene.

** Large expulsions begin in the destroyed city. X and Zero is called into the city due to an emergency situation. **

Commander : X ! Maverick forces have attacked the city. We are currently evacuating the city.

X : Roger that, commander ! We are immediately dispatching !

** X makes his way to the city center. The telecommunication systems have been hijacked and Serges materializes on the screen. He immediately spots X, summoning flashlights and robots to surround them. A giant carrier is secretly carrying Violen.**

Serges : Greetings, X, the savior of world peace. I suppose you want to know what happened to your friend, Zero ?

X : What have you done with Zero ?! Surrender your weapons now !

Serges : **Laughs** Oh, X, it's just like your programming, your naivety is so very amusing. You see, we don't quite have him. Rather, we have bits of him. Let my dear allies explain...

Agile : You see X, Serges has told me about Zero. He seems to have a bit in common with our master's origins. Now, each of us has one of Zero's parts. If you want him back, you're going to have to defeat us all.

Violen : **Drops out of the battleship behind X and smashes him in the back with a mace attack** We'd love to smash you into a pulp right now, but not that wouldn't be fun, would it... so if you want your so precious Zero back, you're gonna have to get through us, punk !

X : **Attempts to fight Violen, but his shots are nothing against his thick armor** You won't get away with this ! I will find all of you, and you will all pay for what you have done !

Agile : I love it when you get angry. That's the kind of power we are looking for in a superior reploid. We'll be looking forward to fighting you, X. Don't keep us waiting.

Serges : But before we leave, we've arranged a little surprise for you.

Violen : And here it is, X ! Maybe this might make you fear the name of the "X Hunters". Farewell, and hopefully not for the last time !

''Omechatron 10,000 appears behind two skyscrapers. It's a giant beast type machine equipped with laser drills, a flamethrower mouth and immediately comes towards X to battle him.''

Battle with Serges :

X : Serges ! Why...

Serges : Our unification is for the good of all humans and reploids, X ! You must be stopped before you destroy our masters future utopia !

X : You call this a utopia ?! You bring chaos and destruction to all of humanity and reploids !

Serges : Perhaps to you, X. Your programming creates a delusional sense of morality. Do you not consider how the humans treat the reploids ? Do you not see that as barbaric ?

X : You are wrong, Serges. Humanity and reploids can exist in peace, and I will not let any Maverick stop this cause !

Serges : **Throws his cloak and activates his machine** Very well, X. I was wishing you could understand us, but I see you are just as foolish as the rest.

** Serges Defeated**

X : Please listen to me Serges. Think of all the good things in society you could do with your intellect ! Help me end this violence.

Serges : I appreciate your efforts, but I am not going to abandon what I started. Though I have lost for now, you are delaying your own demise, X.

X : I will get you, Serges ! I will dismantle your group and destroy the Maverick virus once and for all !

Serges : I would like to see you try.

-- Serges is hit by a buster shot by X as he teleports, staggering him and forcing him to drop the Zero Head Part --

Serges : No !

X : Zero ! Zero ! Speak to me !

Zero : **His eyes briefly open and he smiles gently, but he is too weak**

Commander Scientist : X, we must gather [Other unobtained Zero part/s] first.

X : Roger, commander. Stay with me, Zero !
