Megaman Legacy Collection-revisited June 2023

Megaman X1
Megaman X1 takes place approximately 100 years after the Megaman legacy collection from the NES. A human named Dr. Cain discovers the ruins of an ancient robotics factory that had once was operated by Dr. Thomas Light, who created the original Megaman. Megaman is capable of free will and has human-like intelligence. Dr. Cain finds out there was a device running a diagnosis for over thirty years to ensure Megaman knows right from wrong.  Dr. Cain studies the ancient robotics factory for the next few months in the hope of recreating a robot that works the same as Megaman. Dr. Cain manages to create a reploid that can think, feel, learn and grow exactly like a human. Within a year, these reploids are being mass-produced. Some reploids engage in criminal activity and are branded with the name maverick. With the growing rate of mavericks, the public wants the government to do something about it. Dr. Cain forms a group that is called the maverick hunters. The goal of a maverick hunter is to capture or disable reploids that have gone maverick. Dr. Cain creates an advanced reploid named Sigma that is supposed to be immune against going maverick. Sigma feels that humans are inferior and commands all reploids to kill humans on sight.

Megaman X feels horrible that the reploids have become mavericks. All Megaman X wanted was to create a peaceful robot race that lives in harmony with humans. There is only one other robot left that wants to help the humans, he is called Zero. Megaman X follows the highway to reach Sigma but is ambushed by Vile and defeated. Luckily, Zero jumps in to save Megaman X and chase Vile away. Zero encourages Megaman X to become stronger and get ready for more battles. Megaman X reluctantly accepts this advice. Megaman X tracks down Sigma’s eight strongest reploids and defeats them in combat to become stronger. He decides he is now strong enough to face Sigma and heads to the island he is hiding on. Megaman X finds Zero captured by Vile and battles him once more. Megaman X gets defeated again, but Zero breaks free and sacrifices himself to damage Vile. Megaman X regains his strength, seeing Zero die, and finishes off Vile. Megaman X continues fighting his way through Sigma’s minions to find Sigma waiting in the control room. After a tough fight with Sigma, Megaman X manages to come out victorious. Megaman X uses the self-destruct console and escapes the fortress. Megaman X looks at the sinking fortress from an overlooking cliff, pondering his actions. Megaman X gets a message from an unknown source. The message is: Sigma will return in a stronger body to conquer the world and destroy all human life forms.

Megaman X2
Six months after the incident with Sigma, Megaman X has become the leader of the maverick hunters, this if because he has shown incredible bravery and strength in his fight with Sigma. Sigma had three generals who have restarted making mavericks in factories, and Megaman X decides to put a stop to it. The three generals are called Serges, Agile, and Violen. They have taken control of the North Pole and hold the deceased body of Zero captive. The three generals send stronger mavericks to stop Megaman X and brand themselves the X-hunters. Megaman X tracks down all the mavericks sent to eliminate him and defeats them in battle, gaining new powers. Along the way, he fights Serges, Agile and Violen and retrieves the parts needed to resurrect Zero. Dr. Cain will attempt to restore Zero to his original form and power him up, and he sends Megaman X to the North Pole. Megaman X manages to defeat the three generals in the North Pole. When he thinks everything is over once again, Sigma reveals that he has been behind everything all along. Megaman X follows Sigma into his fortress and finds out Sigma has made a Zero clone. When Megaman X gets ready to fight, suddenly the real Zero jumps in and takes out the clone. Sigma states that Zero is the last creation of the doctor. Megaman X fights Sigma and beats him, but Sigma vows to return as he is a computer virus that you cannot delete. Megaman X and Zero escape the fortress and watch it explode.

Megaman X3
After the last successful effort to bring Sigma down, the reploids keep going maverick. A doctor named Dr. Doppler invents a technique that prevents reploids from going berserk. The reploids build a new town called Doppler Town. Suddenly, all reploids turn maverick and start wreaking havoc once again. When the new reploids attack the headquarters of the maverick hunters, Megaman X and Zero are sent out to take care of Doppler, who is being held accountable. Megaman X and Zero defeat all the reploids that stand in their way, learning new powers. They find Doppler and battle him to learn that he has been infected by Sigma. Sigma had taken control of Dr. Doppler, so he could build a new body for Sigma. Megaman X fights the new Sigma body and destroys it. Sigma reverts back to his virus form and tries to possess Megaman X for his unique fighting abilities. When Megaman X reaches a dead-end, he thinks it is the end of him. Suddenly, Doppler jumps in front of him and stops the virus. Megaman X escapes and Dr. Doppler blows up the lab, sacrificing himself for the greater good. Megaman X wonders when the fighting is done. Megaman X wants to rebuild Doppler town so the humans and reploids can live in harmony together.

Megaman X4
After the third defeat of Sigma, a new force has arisen called the Repliforce. The Repliforce is a military unit that has sworn to protect both humans and reploids. Sigma has already returned in a new body and wants to corrupt the Repliforce by persuading the general to work for him. To convince him, Sigma crashes down a city called the Sky lagoon and makes sure the Repliforce gets the blame for it. Megaman X and Zero investigate the crashed Sky Lagoon and encounter the colonel of the Repliforce and attempt to bring him back to the hunter’s headquarters to talk about the situation at hand. The colonel tells them the Repliforce was not involved in the destruction of the Sky Lagoon and refuses to disarm his weapons. The colonel leaves, even though Megaman X tells him he could be branded a maverick. Meanwhile, Zero rescues Iris who was trapped under the debris. Iris is the sister of the colonel, but returns to the headquarters of the hunters to help resolve the problems at hand. The Repliforce takes matters in their hands and starts collecting materials to create a powerful weapon to destroy all human life forms. The Repliforce is now under full control of Sigma, even though they don’t know it themselves. Megaman X and Zero hunt down the Repliforce that are called mavericks. When four of the mavericks have been hunted down by Megaman X and Zero, the colonel challenges them to a duel. After the colonel is defeated, he retreats to space. Megaman X and Zero hunt down the other mavericks and then follow the colonel into space.  The newest rookie hunter called double is actually a double agent! Megaman X fights against double. Iris wants to protect her brother and attacks Zero. Iris dies at Zero’s hands. (NO! What am I fighting for!?). When Megaman X defeats double, he meets with Zero, and together they defeat the general of the Repliforce. Sigma makes his entry and tells them he crashed the Sky Lagoon and will now destroy all human life. Megaman X and Zero fight against Sigma and defeat him, but the final weapon has already been activated. The general shows up wounded and sacrifices himself to stop the final weapon.
