## Summary

> "*X fights the Robot Masters.*"
>

>

Several days days have passed since Mega Man X's awakening and travel to the Moon. Since then, he has been travelling through Central Highway, fighting Mavericks as he does so. The constant fighting had caused a bit of damage to his Nova Armor. Additionally, he had also built the Falcon Armor in case he needed to switch armors.

X, while searching, runs into Vent. X initially questions what a human is doing in Central Highway, but upon seeing Vent activate Model X, suspects that he's a robot and, more importantly, possibly a Maverick. Vent mistakes X as a Maverick, which leads to them fighting each other. X eventually knocks Vent unconscious by firing a Photon Missile at him.

When Vent wakes up, he immediately questions why X, a supposed Maverick, would want him alive. The two explain to each other that they're not actually Mavericks. Additionally, X explains that he is Dr. Light's last creation, and that Zero was the one who killed Light. Vent explains that he's working for the Maverick Hunters and that he was dispatched to Central Highway, with  his partner being elsewhere at the time.

X then leaves. Vent finds several Big Eyes, before quickly killing them.

In the meantime, X uses the Nova Strike to destroy several bee-shaped Mavericks. He then encounters Bomb Man, who explains that he's one of the last Robot Masters. X quickly realizes that some Robot Masters had survived the attack on Light's lab, and that Zero had somehow modified said Robot Masters to work for the Mavericks.

One day later, X is attacked by Quick Man, Crash Man, and Cut Man. He recognizes the last two from when they tried to stop Zero back at Light's lab. They get into a fight. X begins resorting to using Special Weapons, which allow him to kill Quick Man and Crash Man. However, Cut Man managed to severely damage X. Cut Man then attempts to kill X, but his Rolling Cutter is destroyed when Vent notices the battle and interferes, giving X the opportunity he needs to kill Cut Man.

After being saved, X equips the Falcon Armor as he thanks Vent. He explains that he thinks he has enough materials to make two more armors. Vent then leaves to find more Mavericks, with X feeling like the two will see each other eventually.

X doesn't get to think about it for too long, though, as Snake Man and Wood Man show up. However, X manages to kill both of them. Napalm Man then attacks X, only to also be killed. X, after catching his breathe from all of the fighting, flies up into the air using the Falcon Armor in order to search for whatever Mavericks were left.

## Trivia

* Bulborb channel 3 thinks that this has the worst title out of any chapter in Super X.
* This was originally going to be the third chapter of Super X, with another chapter titled "FALCON PUNCH-oh no" having put between Destruction Through the World and Noting the Issue. However, FALCON PUNCH-oh no was eventually written out of the story. Given that this wiki used to have pages about characters who would appear in that chapter, those being Henry Stickmin, Phoenix Wright, and the Avengers as some examples, it is likely that it was cut due to having too little to do with Mega Man.
* This is the first chapter to have notes at the end.
* The fight between X and Vent is slightly edited version of what was originally planned. This is because the original fight's choreography contradicted itself on X's page and Vent's page.
