Mega Man X7

The plot of Mega Man X7 takes place in the 22nd century during an age when humans coexist with humanoid robots called “Reploids”. As some Reploids participate in violent and destructive crime, a police organization called the “Maverick Hunters” was established to stamp out this activity. As the Reploid conflicts proceed after the Nightmare phenomena event of Mega Man X6, the world is slowly recovering. But as always, Maverick crime is rising in newly constructed cities. As this new crime wave hits, X finds himself trying to answer moral questions that have plagued him since he joined the Maverick Hunters: “Are we doing the right thing to solve this matter?”, leading him to the decision of “I’ve had enough of this violence.” Unable to assuage his conscience, he drops from the battle frontlines and assumes a more strategic support role at headquarters. With X’s retirement, a massive power vacuum ensues and many independent groups develop, trying to fill the void left by the hunter. Prominent among these groups is the “Red Alert Syndicate”, growing large enough to become a dominant force. The Red Alert is a new group of Reploids, similar to the Repliforce, but consisting of vigilantes. They claim to hunt Mavericks, but apparently do more than that. One of their members, Axl, decides he’s had enough of their “murdering” and tries to leave the group. Red, the group’s leader, is angered by Axl deserting, and goes on a rampage to get Axl back.
