The Complete (Rebooted) Mega Man RS Universe Timeline Part 2

The Anti-Android Era: The Crackdown (2110 AD): The 'Machine-on-Man Violence Prevention Act' aka 'The Anti-Android Law' becomes Law in the U.S. Other nations adapt similar Laws,outlawing Android production and the A.I. of Robot Masters.

The U.N. barely passes a resolution Banning Advanced A.I. in Robot Masters. And so the Worldwide Crackdown begins. Existing Androids are hunted down and scrapped,while various Roboticists who specialize in Advanced A.I. are arrested.

While old Robot Masters were scrapped,New Robot Masters were made to be simple in both design and in A.I.

The Global Community is split on these Laws almost down the middle. Both Anti-Android/Anti-Advanced A.I. and Pro-Android/Pro-Advanced A.I. sentiment had officially become a Hot Button Political issue.

Meanwhile,Out in space,Ra-Moon's disciples are both raising and training Ra-Moon's 2 sons,Ra-Moon Junior and NovaStar. Soon these 2 will be ready to carry-on their late father's evil legacy.

Back on Earth,20-Year-Old James Johnathan Cain enrolls in New York University on a Robotics scholarship (general robotics are still okay,it's androids and advanced A.I. that are illegal).

Joining Cain was his old rival and cousin,William Ronald Abel,who was also after a Robotics Scholarship. They were rivals since childhood and will continue to be rivals in old age.

But Robotics wasn't the only thing that Jim Cain was interested in. He was also passionate about Archeology.

In 2111,Quintette,the lost 5th Chaos Emperor,awakens an after upgrading and repairing herself,she starts a rampage. After growing bored,she uses a time machine that Wily built to travel back in time to fight The Light's.
-------------------------------------
The Anti-Android Era: The Future (2114 AD - 2150 AD): Cain and Abel graduate with honors and start their own Robotics business. William Abel (now dr. abel) creates/discovers a super strong,super flexible metal. He dubs it Botanium. Thanks to Botanium,James Cain (now dr. cain) is unable to keep up with is rival in the robotics business.

Defeated,Dr.Cain quits the robotics field and focuses all of his energy on his secondary passion,Archeology.

In 2115,Out of respect and admiration for his Father's hero,Dr. Thomas Light,the Governor of New York declares Dr. Light's lab a "National Landmark". This action sparked outrage from the Anti-Android/Anti-Advanced A.I. crowd.

The opposite side of that isle,however,loved it. Dr. Cain falls in love with a female explorer,named Amelia. Years later,they get Married and expect their first child months later. However,due to serious complications,the birth of The Cain child ends in tragedy,as both the Mother and Child die due to these complications.

Devastated,Dr. Cain takes time off from work to grieve. But,science marches on,and so must Dr. Cain. Still saddened by the loss of his wife and child,Cain decides to move forward with is life. And so he goes back to his Archeological Expeditions.

As decades passed,peoples opinion on Androids and Advanced A.I. began to change. By 2135,the poll numbers shown that at least 58% of people support abolishing the infamous 'Machine-on-Man' Violence Prevention Act'. While 44% want to keep it.

In 2136,a Robot Museum is established in NYC to celebrate the changing attitudes.

Meanwhile out in space,as Ra-Moon's Sons and their minions carry out their galactic conquest,they are met with great resistance from The Cosmic Enforcers every time. The bad guys are eventually beaten,but retreat. It should be noted that Ra-Moon Jr. never takes part in any of the battles,considering the Cosmic Enforcers to be too beneath him.

Duo,who was getting too old to keep up the fight,decides to retire and take on a student.

Luka (basically over-1 rs),an Alien Android with amazing Power Assimilation abilities,is chosen by Duo to take up the mantle of Great Enforcer,his former title.

Meanwhile,Rucifel is battled and eventually sealed up by Sunstar,who,just years ago,was promoted to Chief of the Cosmic Enforcers. Rucifel was imprisoned within a Crystalis and buried deep within an abandoned planet.

With Rucifel imprisoned,peace started to slowly return to the Universe. Sunstar knew this and that's why he challenged the Great Satan.
--------------------
The X Era: Birth of A New Race (2150 - 2152 AD):

Dr. Cain is sent on a solo Archeological task by the Robot Museum to Dr. Light's Lab. Dr. Cain's mission is to find relics from the lab to give to the Museum. Dr. Cain discovers a secret area within tbe lab,where he finds a capsule. Within this capsule is Xavier Light aka X,Dr. Light's final creation.

Dr. Cain activates X and talks with him. After listening to a pre-recorded message/warning about X by Dr.Light,Dr. Cain continues his search for some of Light's relics. After that,Dr. Cain and X leave for Dr. Cain's home to clean the stuff they found.

X had to be disguised,due to the "Machine-On-Man Violence Prevention Act" still being law. Dr. Cain decides to keep X a secret for a while and gives all but 2 of his findings to the Robot Museum: X's Blueprints and Capsule.

Fun Factoid: X's Blueprints does Not include the Zenkai Chip. Infact,the Zenkai Chip Had no plans. Dr.Light decided that the Zenkai Chip in the wrong hands would very disastrous,so he decided to keep the design to himself. Locking them up within his mind.

One Week later,The President of the United States makes an Executive Order Abolishing the "Machine-on-Man Violence Prevention Act". The reaction was mostly positive,due to most Americans disapproving of the Law.

Soon,other Nations begin to reject Their versions of the Anti-Android Law and by the next year,the Laws are officially repealed. Dr Cain soon introduces X to the world. He was mostly well received. Cain makes plans to re-enter the Robotics business and create a brand new generation of Androids using X's blueprints.

Dr. Cain creates copies of X's blueprints and sells them to other Robotics firms. It's also decided that the armor and skeletal system for the new Androids would be made out of Botanium. Dr. Abel's,Abel Industries,becomes a multi-billion dollar company because of this.

On year later,The New Androids,called Reploids,due to the fact that they were made from copies of X's plans,are in full production and are slowly becoming accepted members of society.

However,not Everyone is pleased with Reploidkind,a small group of Anti-Android activists form The Humankind Preservation Society,the spiritual successor to Wilson's Council For Human Dominance. Their numbers are very low right now,thankfully.

Titanium X is created by studying X's armor and is used in the creation of New Machanaloids.

Another year later,a special digitalization/de-digitalization device is created to store Mechanaloids. This was done in an effort to save storage space. This convenient device is called a Digi-Box and it comes in all shapes and sizes. At the same time,the Robot Battling circuit became popular again,this time using Mechanaloids.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The X Era: The Beginning of A Nightmare (2152 AD):

In Late-2152,As Reploid numbers grow,so does Reploid Crime. Reploid Criminals are soon dubbed "Mavericks" by the public. 

Things get so bad that The U.S. Government commissions Dr. Cain and Cain Industries to create a New type of Defense Force. Cain excepts the task and,by the end of the year,the Maverick Hunters are formed.

Dr. Cain creates his very first Reploid (meaning the first reploid he created on his own),the Strongest and most Skilled Reploid in the World,Sigma. Sigma's design was based on how Dr. Cain's late Son would've looked like,had he lived and grew up.

The Maverick Hunters were broken up into specialized units. 
 
Tbe 1st Unit handled Search and Rescue.
 
The 2nd Unit handled all the Mechanic stuff,such as fixing vehicles and weapons.
 
The 3rd Unit handled Re-Construction.
 
The 4th Unit handled all Terra related missions,such as Underground,Mountains,Wastelands,and even Deserts. 

The 5th Unit handled high speed chases on Hover Cycles called Ride Chasers. The 6th Unit handled Mavericks in the sky. They were kinda like a mini-airforce.
 
The 7th Unit handled Sea Battles.
 
The 8th Unit was the Armored Unit,they handled the Extremely dangerous missions,such as bomb disposal.

The 9th Unit was the Stealth Unit,they handled the Spy stuff.
 
Unit 10 handled issues in the Forests,they are also trained to assist park rangers.
 
Unit 11 is the City Unit,their job is to combat robo-street gangs and aid local law enforcement.
 
Unit 12 is the Sabre Unit,for Beam Sword/Sabre Specialists.

The 13th Unit handled Polar and Arctic situations.
 
The 14th Unit specialized in Weaponless combat. They are the Melee Unit.
 
The 15th Unit specialized in Research and Development.
 
The 16th Unit were the Recycling Crew. They specialized in recycling destroyed mechanaloids.
 
The 17th Unit were for Buster/Blaster specialists. Masters of marksmanship. 

The 18th Unit were Made up of Medics,for both Human And Reploid.
 
The 19th Unit handled Extremely Strong,and Extremely Dangerous Mavericks.
 
And finally there's the 0 Unit,a Unit soley for Rookie Hunters. 
--------------------------------------------------------------
The X Era:  The Maverick Hunters (2153 - 2154 AD):
 
Under the leadership of Sigma,the Maverick Hunters greatly exceed expectations. X even expresses interest in joining. He's always wanted to be a Crime Fighter. Impressed with X's power,Sigma decides to train him personally. 

Meanwhile,within Dr. Wily's abandoned Lab,Zero awakens and wants to avenge his loss to Mega Man. He breaks out of the lab and goes on a killing spree,in an effort to lure Mega Man out.

Zero's so powerful that The 19th Unit,which handled extremely powerful Mavericks,had to be called in to deal with him. They eventually chase him into an abandoned warehouse,where they are eventually slaughtered. Before their deaths however,Gamma,the 19th Unit Leader contacted Commander Sigma for assistance.

Sigma arrives and does battle with Zero. Sigma and Zero are evenly matched,but once Zero powers up to his Kuro Mode,Sigma loses any advantage he may have had. But a hard punch to Zero's helmet jem is just enough to knock the Maverick out. 

The Wily Virus comes out of Zero's busted head gem,undetected,and enters Sigma's body. Sigma,damaged himself,has Zero taken into custody and in for repairs. Sigma,impressed with Zero's skills and strength,wants him to become a Maverick Hunter.

Days later,under Sigma's watchful eye,Zero is getting repaired before he's sent to prison. Sigma is still unaware that Zero's Wily Virus was transferred into him. During repairs,Zero gets a burnt-out chip removed...that chip was the Prototype Andro-Mutation chip,the chip that gave him his Kuro mode.

After repairs,Sigma takes Zero to RepliMax,a max-security reploid detention facility,to rest. Sigma looks at Zero and realizes that he's the Red Robot from early 21XX,the one who started 2 mindless uprisings and fought Mega Man to a standstill.

Zero doesn't really care about any of that right now and just wants to rest up. Ever since the repairs/operation,Zero's personality has changed a bit,sure he was still cocky and arrogant,but now it was on a lesser scale. His ego had shrunk down to normal levels and his God Complex was completely gone. His Kuro Mode was also gone,thanks to the removal of his prototype andro-mutation chip.

Sigma tells Zero that he's decided to have Zero pay for Everything evil that he's done with a lifetime of Community Service...as a Maverick Hunter. Zero refuses at first,but after some convincing,he reluctantly accepts Sigma's offer.

At a press conference,Sigma talks about Zero and the Red Armored Android's past and his intentions on making him a member of the Maverick Hunters as a kickstart to his rehabilitation and redemption.

This got mixed reactions from everyone watching. Sigma also reveals that he will be pulling double duty as the interm- leader of the 19th Unit. Days later,Sigma introduces X to Zero during one of their training sessions. Sigma intends on training Zero as well,so X and Zero will be training partners. 

At first,X and Zero are rivals,but as time goes on,they become friends. Maverick Activity increases,but so do the strength of the Maverick Hunters,thanks to Sigma and,eventually,X and Zero. Sigma starts to notice the anti-android/reploid sentiment among some humans and it makes him sick. The virus inside only increases that negative feeling.

Meanwhile,a Renegade Reploid U.S. Military Lieutenant is being tried for his crimes. His crimes - The total annihilation of the humans in his unit,due to the belief that Human's have outlived their purpose in life and that Reploids should be the Next dominate species.

This psycho's name is Jango Vava. Vava is found guilty and is sentenced to scrapping in 10 days. He is sent to RepliMax. While this is happening,Sigma is at the library researching the history of Humans and Machines. And some of what he finds disturbs him,mainly Humans needlessly replacing older tech with newer ones. Sigma begins to wonder if this is also the fate of Reploidkind as well?

He then reads about the Human-Android conflicts of the past,including The Android Supremacy League,the rise of Anti-Androidism,and the infamous Machine-on-Man Violence Prevention Act.

Thanks to the virus' main effect,Sigma's negative emotions are amplified 50 fold. And so,reason had died within Sigma that day. A few days later,Sigma holds a secret meeting with the 8 strongest Hunters of the 19th Unit.

All 8 are Non-Humanoid Reploids,called Beastroids. Beastroids are based on the various Members of the Animal Kingdom,including: Mammals,Aquatic Creatures,Birds,Bugs,and Plants.

These 8 Beastroids are: Octavius Octopuldo,an Octopus; Norman Mander,a Mammoth; Guido Penquigo,a Penguin;Steve Chameleon,a Chameleon; Sparky Mandriller,a Mandrill; Kuwa T. Mushi,a Stag Beetle; Armond Dilloh,an Armadillo;and Eagleed Falconhawk,an Eagle.

Sigma convinces them to join his rebellion against Humanity by teaching them the History of Man's poor treatment of Machines. After the Meeting,Sigma gives the converted Maverick Hunters new names.

Octavious Octopuldo is renamed Launcher Octopus,due to the Beastroid having missile launcher in his shoulders and tentacles. Fire Beastroid,Norman Mander is renamed Burning Mammoth. Ice-based Guido Penguigo becomes Iceshot Penguin.

The Plasma Spike-Shooting Steve Chameleon is renamed Spike Chameleon. Sparky Mandriller,an Electric Based Beastroid,is renamed GutsSpark Mandrill, Kuwa T. Mushi is renamed Blademerang Kuwagamushi,due to his Boomerang Cutter Horns.

The Armored,Armond Dilloh is renamed Crash Armadillo. And Eagleed Falconhawk is renamed Storm Eagle and is made the Leader of this bunch.

Sigma then instructs his new troops to come with him to RepliMax to pick up their next recruit.

At the RepliMax Prison,Jengo Vava is in a cell,awaiting execution. He meets a Trio of Reploids,who also wish for Humanity's extinction. They are Agile,Serges,and Violen. Agile was tall with purple armor. True to his name,he was quick and agile. Serges was the small,but intelligent,member of the trio. He wore blue armor and a Russian Hat. He also had a Russian Accent. 

Violen was the big,not-very-smart,member of the group. He wore red armor. The Trio were once employees of a prestigious Lab in New York State. Violen was a Security Guard,Serges was a Lab Assistant,and Agile was an Errand Bot.

Sigma,as a ruse,tells the Warden that the Maverick Hunters want to deal with Jengo Vava personally. The Warden agrees. Sigma meets the Trio and tells the Warden that he'll be taking them too.

The Warden,fully trusting of Sigma,let's him take the Trio into custody as well. Sigma escorts all 4 into his Ship,the Life Rogumer and heads off. When they are far away from RepliMax,Sigma reveals his true plans and recruits all 4 into his army.

Vava refuses,saying that he answers to no one. Sigma gives him money and some new armor,quickly changing the Army Reploid's mind. Sigma then rechristens Jengo Vava as Vile. Jengo likes the name and decides to adopt it.

Deep within the Rocky Mountains,Maverick Hunters are in development of a new base. Sigma and the 8 former-Maverick Hunters arrive to give assistance.  With Sigma's help,the construction of the base goes quicker than expected.

After construction of the new Base is completed,Sigma kills the Hunters and invites his Army to their New HQ.
---------------------------------------------
The Maverick Era: Sigma's Uprising (2154 - 2157 AD):

It's been 2 Months since Sigma had gone missing,leaving Zero in charge until he returns. With X's help,maverick threats end before they get out of hand. As X's efficiency as a hunter grows,so does his power. X's Hunter rival,Sonic the Ostreague,an Ostrich Beastloid,grows annoyed at X's quick growth.

One thing to note about X, though powerful, he will always hold back if there are innocence nearby. A weakness that the Bad Guys will exploit in the future.

On September 11th of 2154,New York City suffers a Huge scale Maverick assault. An Assault lead by Storm Eagle in redesigned Life Rogumer's,now known as Death Rogumers. The Pentagon is attacked the very same day by Mavericks lead by Vile.

At the White House,Sigma attacks and takes the President hostage. Sigma makes his Anti-Human Mission known to the world. Zero arrives to confront Sigma. Sigma is not in the mood to fight,so he escapes. Before he does however he kills the president.
 
Meanwhile Vile is confronted by Mac,one of the top ranking members of the Maverick Hunters. Vile easily beats him up using his "Military Fighting" Skills. Instead of destroying Mac,Vile decides to let him live with this "Humiliating Memory" and retreats instead. Mac is pissed.
 
A few days later,the VP is sworn in as President. The Hunters are on high alert,watching and waiting for Sigma to strike. Dr. Cain is heartbroken over Sigma going Maverick,a bot that he considered to be his son. Meanwhile,Sigma is at his base and planning his next attack with his minions. He intends on using sending his Maverick Commanders to various points in the U.S. to commit acts of terror. 
 
He also sends Vile to lead an attack on the Highway,while Agile,Violen,and Serges search for more bases for him. 
 
X is sent to the Highway to stop Vile..he succeeds in destroying Vile's Ride Armor, but is stalemate against Vile himself. 
 
After this, X and Zero fight off the Maverick Generals. Before the missions, X is presented with a Dr. Light Capsule by Dr. Cain, which he found while excavating some ruins. The Capsule contains a holographic imagge of Dr. Light, with a recorded message to X and explains the purpose of the 10 Capsules that he has hidden across the Globe,which will unlock an inaccessible ability for X.    

Light explains that he kept X's abilities locked as a fail safe,due to fear that he might use them for evil,but he now knows that its not the case and allows the Hunter to step into the Capsule and unlock one of his abilities - Weapon Emulation.
 
X enters the Capsule and receives the ability to Copy an Enemy's Weapon. After that, he goes on his mission.
 
After taking care of the Mavericks, Nana, the Hunter's Navigator, finds the location of Sigma's Fortress. X and Zero raid the fortress and run into Vile,who is much tougher this time, thanks to Sigma and Serges updating his software. He defeats the Hunters and injures Zero. Seeing his friend hurt, X powes up and decimates Vile.
 
Zero tells X that it's up to him to destroy Sigma now. After a short conversation, Zero teleports away. X meets up with Sigma. After destroying His Panther Velguarder,X battles and destroys Sigma, who seemed off. Turns out, the Sigma X destroyed was an empty vessel. The Real Sigma appears in a Massive Battle Body.
 
Sigma explains that he recently discovered that his True Form is that of a digital entity that can posses machines. After a tough battle, X destroys the Battle Body and Sigma retreats, promising revenge. X contacts Dr. Cain,and tells him to call the US Military so that they can destroy the base now.
 
X rests on a nearby cliff, watching the Military destroy Sigma's base, knowing that the Maverick Wars have only begun.

A Few Months later, The Mavericks gain new bases And new members, Beastloids that betrayed the Hunters. Luffy T. Luffah, a Luffa Beastloid, is renamed Wire Sponge. Will Aligates, a Gator Beastloid, becomes Deathwheel Gator.
 
Crab Beastloid,Bobby Crablos, renames himself, Bubbler Crab. Stag Beastloid,Stagger Lee becomes Flaming Stag. Moth Mino Mothminos and his Twin Sister, Butterfly, Mina Mothminos became Scrapshot Moth and Dust Butterfly respectively.

Ninja Centipede Magnus Hyakyuulegger becomes Magnet Ninjapede. Myron Crystar, a Snail, becomes Crystaler Snail. And X's Hunter Rival, Sonic the Ostreague becomes Overdrive Ostrich. Vile was also recovered and repaired, now sporting new Blue Armor (RS Vile Mk. II). And Sigma is given a new Battle Body by Serges.

The Mavericks aren't the Only ones with new recruits. The Hunters have them too. Marino, a Ninja, Massimo,a Strong Man. And Harley, a Green Armored Biker. Zero is repaired and has some New Armor.

X finds 2 more Capsules and gains the Flight and the use of his Zenkai Chip. Sigma's New Minions attack, the Hunters defeat them. During the raid on Sigma's 2nd Base, Marino sneaks into the master control room and activates the Self Destruct codes. 

Unfortunately, Harley, was killed during the Mission, X and Zero dedicating the remainder of the mission to him.

Anyway, X, Massimo,and Zero run into and defeat Agile,Violen, Serges,and Vile. Sigma and X fight. X destroys Sigma's new Battle Body.

After the Mission, The Hunters have a Funeral for Harley, who also was known as "Green Biker Dude".
 
On year later,in Late-2155, Dr. Doppler, famous Reploid Scientist, establishes a place where Reploids and Humans can live in harmony, Doppler Town. He reveals "Project Kaiser", a Mega Reploid that will preserve peace throughout the World.  
 
Meanwhile, Sigma has recruited 2 of Doppler Town's top Cops, The Dharma Bros., Bit and Byte to his cause. Along with the Dharma Bros, he also recruits 8 More Beastloids.
 
Bill Buffalio, a Buffalo, becomes Frozen Buffalo. Seahorse, Ace Seaforce becomes Acid Seahorse. Hardrock S. Mansaider, a Rhino Beastloid, becomes Drill Rhino. Catfish Beastloid, Eliot Namazuros becomes Elecro Catfish.
 
Shrimper Crawdad becomes Chopper Crayfish. Ty Tygrid renames himself Neon Tiger. Kabu. T. Mushi, Brother of Blademerang Kuwagamushi, now calls himself ,Blackhole Kabutomushi. And Buzz Hornek becomes Deathdrone Hornet. 
 
Over at the Hunter's side, Jelousy is mounting over X and Zero's accomplishments by Mac. X finds another Light Capsule, which unlocks Super Speed. Sigma sends his 8 New Beastloid Generals to assault Doppler Town,due to the idea of Human/Reploid Harmony making him sick.
 
The Hunters go into battle. Sigma steals Kaiser and attacks the World. During the mission, Marino and Massimo run into Bit and Byte, who they defeat. Zero runs into Vile and defeats him. X fights and defeats "Kaiser" Sigma. 

After that conflict, Dr. Doppler becomes an ally to the Maverick Hunters. Though out the year,Sigma's attacks have become more and more extreme. By 2156,the Hunters become overwhelmed. The World Council, lead by the U.S., agree to create a Global Reploid Military to help with Maverick Terrorism - Repliforce..   

The American Reploiforce Project is head by Dr. Cain's Old High School friend, American Born Brit,Dr. Cecil Thorne. Thorne was also a Reploid Researcher and Father. A Son, Cecil Jr. and Daughter, Iris. Cecil Jr. was converted into Repliforce USA's Colonel.

Dr. Abel also lends a hand, he creates the Repliforce's General. Iris, who disagrees with Military Might, op out. Zero fall in love with Iris. The Repliforce is instantly compared to The Robo-Guardians, which kinda gives ammo to the Anti-Reploid groups.
 
Repliforce USA recruits 6 Beastloid Commanders. Sgt. Webster Spidus, a Spider, and Head or Repliforce USA's Spy Unit. 
 
Simon Kujacker, a Peacock,Hacker turned Tech Specialist. Commander Sam Storm,an Owl, Leader of the RepliAirforce. Sgt. Frosty Kibatodos, a Walrus, head of their Main Weapons Base in Alaska. Commander Jet Stingren, a Stingray, was made Commander of their Navy. 
 
And Lt. Leo Pantera, a Lion, was made Leader of the Ground Combat Unit.
 
In addition to this, Repliforce creates a Space Weapon that was made to destroy Meteors headed for Earth. Many question this Weapon.
 
Meanwhile, Sigma recruits 2 New Beastloids - Fungus McToadstool, know known as Split Mushroom. And Gouki Akaryu, who betrayed the Maverick Hunters for Power. Akaryu renames himself Blazing Ryuujin. 
 
The Hunters also gain a new recruit, Double, a Huge, yet simple, Reploid who signed up as a Rookie Hunter. He accompanies X and Zero on their missions to learn from them.
 
Speaking of X, He finds 2 more Light Capsules - One gives him the ability to sense Life Energy and the other allows him to raise and lower his Power at will.

For months, The Repliforces prove to be very effective. Around the World, Each Country's Repliforce have ended Maverick Assaults before it escalated. But..not everything was great. The 6 Repliforce USA Commanders, disgusted by their lack of pay and felt like their talents were wasted helping Humanity, joined Sigma's Mavericks secretly.   
 
Sgt. Webster Spidus is renamed ShockWeb Spider. Simon Kujacker becomes Cyber Peacock. Commander Sam Storm renames himself Cyclone Owl. Sgt. Frosty renames himself Kibatodos/Icestorm Walrus.
 
Commander Jett Stingren becomes Divebomb Stingray and Lt. Leo Pantera becomes WildSlash Beastleo.
 
They return to Repliforce as Double Agents, Colonel finds out about this, but allows the 6 to remain on board, gaining heavy criticism. His answer to those critics - "As Long as they're still good soldiers,who the hell cares if they're Mavericks!"
 
Trust in Repliforce USA begins to drop. This was All part of Sigma's plan to demoralize and decimate Repliforce USA, who he sees as a bigger threat than the Other Repliforces. Zero and Iris date, which annoys Colonel. This leads to conflict between Zero and Colonel, with Iris trying her best to be the peace maker.   

Sigma, in a new battle body, along with Vile,who's been upgraded to a Mk. III body, visit General in disguise. They talk to General about how the Repliforce is wasting their talents helping Humanity and would be better off exterminating them and taking over Earth themselves. They then talk about Repliforces low approval numbers.

General wants no part of Their plan,and reveals that He has his Own plans for Reploid-kind. He dismisses the 2 and tells them that Repliforce doesn't care about approval....just results. 

A month later, Sky Lagoon, a Sky Highway is attacked by Repliforce double agents and a Giant Maverick Dragon,Eregion, who has a Big 'Ol Repliforce Logo on his Chest. X, Zero, Marino, and Massimo jump into action..along with Double.
 
The Hunters arrive and rescue the people who were stuck on the Skyway. As they are doing this, however, Eregion brings Sky Lagoon down. The Hunters destroy Eregion. Colonel and his Troops. The Hunters question Colonel's tardiness and begin interrogating him. Colonel blames the Hunters for being inefficient and threat ends them if they get in the way of Repliforce's work again. 
 
Colonel leaves. A day later, General announces to the World that he intends on creating a New Nation just for Reploids-only and that Evolution Must take it's course. And though he views Humanity as ungrateful idiots, he means no harm to them and that this New Reploid Nation Will be made on a Newly discovered Island in the Pacific..so no taking over an existing Country. 
 
Soon,after General's declaration, disapproval becomes hate for the Repliforce among Humans, but the reverse is true for some Reploids.
 
To add to this fire, The 6 Repliforce Double-Agent Commanders begin their assault, in their mission to finish off Repliforce USA's rep. The Hunters jump into action.. Joining the Repliforce Double Agents are Split Mushroom and Burning Ryuujin, who reveals his reasons for betraying the Hunters. Meanwhile,The American Repliforce are reclassified as Mavericks by the Government.
 
X manages to find 2 more Light Capsules - 1 grants him Super speed, the other gives him Higher jumping.
 
Observing, as usual, is Double, who intently pays attention to X and Zero.  The Mavericks are defeated and Repliforce is in deep trouble with the US Government. The Hunters, minus Double, who is missing. The Hunters head to Repliforce HQ and split into teams of 2. X with Zero, Marino with Massimo.
 
X and Zero run into Double, who reveals himself to be an assassin hired to observe, then kill them. He transforms into Jello Man,a demonic-looking Warrior Form and attacks. After his defeat, Jello Man reveals that he was hired by Mac to terminate them. He then reveals his 3rd form - A Devil-Type Monster. X and Zero battle and destroy him.
 
As they move though the base, they meet with and fight Colonel. X and Zero defeat Colonel, but let him live. Vile Mk III arrives and stuns the Hunters in a surprise attack. He then quickly kills Colonel with his Shoulder Canon and then slices him up with his Beam Sword. 
 
Vile tells the hunters that his mission is done and leaves. The Heroes are pissed and promise to get even with Vile. Meanwhile, Sigma, posing as a Repliforce Soldier, reveals to Iris that X and Zero had just killed her Brother. 
 
Iris is both saddened and angered..and betrayed. Sigma offers her a crystal, which will give her the power to avenge her Brother and destroy the Maverick Hunters. She takes the Crystal, Sigma then lies again and tells Iris that he heard that the Hunters will be breaking into/onto the Replifotce's Space Weapon to destroy it.
 
Iris promises never to let that happen and takes Sigma to the Weapon, where they'll await the Hunters. 
 
Meanwhile, Marino and Massimo confront and battle General. X and Zero join in and the 4 defeat the General. The General regrets nothing and promises to destroy the "Maverick" Maverick Hunters for assaulting Repliforce.
 
The 2 sides have a heated argument. Suddenly, Vile mk. III returns and finishes off General. He tells the Hunters that Sigma has invaded The Repliforces Weapon and plans on Destroying Earth's Human population with it. He then mentions that Sigma has also kidnapped Iris and is letting him have "Fun" with her. Vile Laughs and teleports away, just before an angry Zero could strike.
 
The Hunters contact Dr. Cain and inform him on what's going on, Cain tells them that he'll warn the Government. The Hunters return to base and, via a space ship, head to the Repliforce's Space Weapon. Once there, They meet up with Bit and Bite, who fuse into God Karmachine.
 
Massimo and Marino volunteer to fight him. X and Zero rush ahead, where they find Iris, safe...but angry. Iris promises vengeance against the Hunters for killing her Brother, Colonel. The Duo refute this and tell Iris that Vile was responsible. Iris refuses to believe them and uses the Crystal that Sigma gave her to power herself up into a Powerful Warrior. Having no choice, the Hunters must fight. 

Meanwhile, Marino and Massimo are fighting God Karmachine and eventually defeat him. The Fused Monster turns back into Bit and Byte. The Gold plated duo escape. Zero and X fight and eventually defeat Iris.
 
Just as Zero is about to check on Iris, Vile arrives and kills her. X and Zero are angry and after a nasty exchange,the Fight Begins. The Hunters defeat Vile. Zero almost destroys him, but the Boba-Fatt look-alike escapes before that could happen.
 
X and Zero are joined by Maximo and Marino. The 4 Hunters rush to find Sigma. They find him in the main control room, figuring out how the Weapon works. Sigma and the Hunters battle. X finishes off Sigma. However, Sigma's "Soul" possesses the Console and the entire Weapon. 

The Maverick Hunters destroy the console before Sigma has a chance to use the Weapon, With the Console destroyed, the Weapons starts to self destruct. Sigma escapes, as do the Maverick Hunters. Before leaving, Zero gathers Iris and promises to give her a proper burial.
 
Hours Later, X and Zero confront Mac about his hired assassin. Mac tells X and Zero that he was sick and tired of being overlooked, while They were getting All of the praise. So he hired Double/Jello Man to kill them. He figured that he would get the respect and recognition that He deserved if the Duo were dead.
 
Mac gets beaten up and arrested.   
 
Days later, the Hunters have a funeral for General, Colonel, and Iris. There were Anti-Reploid agitators, but they were removed. As this was going on, the US Government decides to disband Their Repliforce and just rely on the Maverick Hunters.
 
To Be Continued.....
