You were exploring Abel City after a devastating attack by Mavericks. However, while you were exploring, you were suddenly jumped by some Mavericks. Just then, the legendary reploid, X, came to your aid by shooting them with his X-Buster. After defeating them, he then picks you up, where you get a glance at his new armor with its crimson coat motifs.

“Those mavericks are getting outta hand. Just stay with me and you’ll be fine.”
