Aile

**Aile** is an S-Rank Maverick Hunter working for the 1st Unit.

## Appearance

Aile is a young woman with short, brown hair and green eyes. She wears a black suit with white shorts and a blue jacket. Her shoes are blue.

## Personality

Aile is considered by many to have become more jaded after her partner Vent had been killed, suggesting that she used to be at least somewhat more energetic than she is when she talked to Mega Man X, where she was shown to be very serious and professional.

## History

Virtually nothing is known about Aile except for that she joined the Maverick Hunters, becoming an S-Rank and being transferred to the 1st Unit.

Eventually, in order to fight against multiple Maverick attacks at once, the Maverick Hunters attempted to expend their numbers by sending multiple Maverick Hunters to different locations. Aile travelled to a desert while her partner, Vent, travelled to Central Highway. Aile defeated the Mavericks in the desert, but when she returned back to Maverick Hunter Base, she was informed that Vent was supposedly dead. As a result, Aile became more jaded, something that multiple Maverick Hunters noticed.

Maverick Hunter Base was attacked the next day, so Alie travelled outside to fight against them alongside the 0th Unit. She got into a fight with Zero, managing to knock him away from Maverick Hunter Base while the other Maverick Hunters destroyed several Mavericks. Having won the battle, Aile went back inside, knowing that another battle would happen eventually.

Aile then worked with the 0th Unit to deal with the remaining members of the 10th Unit, before helping them, Mario, Luigi, Sonic, and Shadow fight against Zero, eventually killing him and ending the Mavericks.

## Skills

Aile is shown to be a skilled fighter. She was able to Zero and destroy several Mavericks. Additionally, as an S-Rank, it can easily be assumed she is one of the best fighters among the Maverick Hunters.

### Model ZX

**Model ZX** is an armor that was created by the Maverick Hunters after they recovered data from Wily Castle. Aile can activate Model ZX by holding one of her hands out in front of herself, causing it to appear. She can also make it disappear using the same gesture. Upon activating it, a red armor covers Aile's limbs. It also transforms her white shorts into an armor that protects her waist and upper legs. Aile also wears a red helmet with a large, green gem on it. Aile's hair becomes long and yellow.

When activated, Model ZX increases Aile's speed and durability, allowing her to keep up with and withstand attacks from Zero.

Model ZX gives Aile a green, triangular energy sword known as the **ZX Saber**. This sword can be used to cut through others. Aile can slam it into the ground to perform an attack known as the **Charged Saber**, or spin around with it in the air to perform the **Rolling Slash**.

Model ZX also gives Aile a handgun known as the **ZX Buster**, which fires bullets made of solar energy. It can be charged to fire green bullets or, if charged enough, blue bullets. When fully charged, it fires pink blasts.

### Model OX

**Model OX** is a second armor used by Aile. Details of its creation are unknown, but given how Model ZX was made, it may have been made by the Maverick Hunters using data recovered from Wily Castle.

Model OX looks very similar to Model ZX, but it gives Aile a darker shade of red and turns her hair pale instead of yellow. Additionally, the gem on her head is blue instead of green.

Not only does Model OX have all of Model ZX's abilities, it also doubles Aile's strength, speed, durability, and stamina.

The ZX Saber is replaced with the **OX Saber**, which gains two new techniques. The first is Ryuenjin, which the OX Saber becomes imbued with fire while Aile jumps into the air with a rising slash. The second is **Shinkuujin**, where Aile performs a slash that creates a green energy wave, which flies forward.

The ZX Buster is replaced with the **OX Buster**, which fires large, blue solar energy bullets. It can be charged to fire large, green solar energy bullets that are larger and stronger.

Aile can also punch the ground to perform **Earth Crush**, causing rocks to emerge from the ground, or **Rekkouha**, causing light beams to emerge from the ground. Both attacks cause their respective projectiles to fly upward.
