Serpent reveals himself, along with other Mega Men (those capable of Megamerging, or using the Meta-Encapsulated Granule Awareness System) and claims that he has the power to make the world go Maverick with his Model W Biometal, although it won't matter to Vent/Aile. As they travel through the place (strongly reminiscent of the opening stage in Mega Man X), a power forces Giro to battle them and they defeat him, but then all of them are stunned by a powerful attack. They head to the area (directly above where they had previously been) to aid in whatever way possible. They all return to the base, but learn that a major battle is commencing and that Slither's forces cannot make it to the area in time. Giro rescue them from an airship using the power of the Biometal Model Z. Vent/Aile find that Giro is located underneath an old highway area and set out to investigate. Then, the Guardians believe that they are trustworthy and give them a small test that they can complete to have access to their HQ (a flying battleship that hovers above one of the major cities at which Slither, Inc. They use the Biometal to defeat the Mavericks and save the Guardians who were under attack.
Thus, they find that the package contained a substance known as Biometal (in this case, Biometal Model X), which can link with them and essentially transform them into Mega Man X. They wake up in a forest near their rendezvous point where the Guardians, under the guidance of Prairie, have fallen under attack from Mavericks as well. Giro and either Vent or Aile (Depending on the player`s character choice) are split up during the attack. Giro Express is hired to deliver a package to the Guardians, but during the delivery the team falls under attack by Mavericks. It is also noted that Prairie's "Big sister" (Ciel) had created the Biometals X, Z, H, F, P and L in between Zero and ZX.At the same time, Maverick Raids become more widespread, reaching beyond the Outlands and into the supposed safety of the cities ( Vent/ Aile loses his/her parents in the raids and Giro takes him/her under his wing). Thus, Serpent founded Slither, Inc., which becomes prevalent in most major cities of Innerpeace. Some years prior to the events of Mega Man ZX, Serpent emerges as a hero to society as he is able to solve most of the world's energy crisis using technology unearthed in the Outlands.Slowly during this time, these new fledgling states begin to form a centralized, somewhat representative government at Legion under the leadership of the "Sage Trinity" - a triumvirate of men. Also during this period nations emerge, such as Innerpeace. The ones who do not choose to follow this rule are branded Mavericks. In essence, the difference between "man and machine" become negligible. A new law is created by the Legion, where Reploids must have lifespans and humans have mechanical parts integrated into their bodies. A truce between humans and Reploids is agreed upon.Her fate after the incident is unknown, so Alouette, a young Reploid raised by Ciel, assumes command of the Guardians, also changing her name to Prairie. Serpent ends up destroying the research team, with Ciel being the only one who escaped. This core, which Ciel calls the W Core, begins to turn members of Ciel's team into Mavericks, mainly a Reploid named Serpent. The team comes across the remains of Doctor Weil's core from when he had merged with Ragnarok, and when the team comes into contact with it they begin to experience severe migraines. After the fighting against Neo Arcadia came to an end, Ciel and her research team begin doing research in an area known as the Outlands - a generally uninhabitable area outside of Neo Arcadia.
