It turns out that "Red" was actually Axl copying his DNA to trick Sigma. Surprisingly, Red reappears, and just when Sigma is presumably attempting to possess him, Red uses Axl's pistol to blast Sigma out of the palace through a window. Sigma then swore to have a new form when he does return. Even after defeating Sigma, twice, he manages to rise again and punches Axl through a wall. After defeating Red, the Hunters learn that Sigma is at it again, manipulating Red Alert from the shadows. Together, the three infiltrate Red Alert's base of operations, the Crimson Palace, and confronted the leader, Red, himself. While working with Zero in regards to fighting Red Alert, he also explained his history with Red Alert to Zero, along with the circumstances that eventually caused him to defect to the Maverick Hunters. It was through Axl and Zero's combined efforts during the conflict that X came out of retirement to fight again. In order to make up for his mistakes, he joins forces with Zero and the Hunters to stop Red Alert, although they were initially reluctant to let him join. When the conflict between his old group and the Maverick Hunters began, Axl felt himself responsible, since Red Alert was challenging the Hunters for his custody. Having questioning their methods, Axl escapes their base, and was "captured" by Zero. Soon, all members were " modified" and were forced to do the professor's bidding in exchange for their freedom and it was then that Red Alert went after others who weren't even Maverick. The success of this mission ultimately attracted the attention of " the professor" who formed an alliance with Red and the Syndicate. In the opening sequence, he hunts down the crime boss Cedar who had the " Sigma Virus Mk 2" as protection which was deemed useless by Red Alert. However, this may turn out to be a good thing, as seen in Mega Man X8 when twice he convinces X to continue fighting against their enemies, at least until the war is over.Īxl is an amnesiac Reploid who was found by Red before the events of X7. He often brags about how he is one of the best and this can get him into trouble.Īxl can also be noted to have a sort of fondness for battle, which puts him in contrast with X. Although the navy armored Reploid can be whiny when there is nothing to do - which can get on X and Zero's nerves - Axl is kind-hearted and always cares about others. His helmet design, when viewed from topside, resembles an upside down 'A' with a circular camera-like lens in the center.Īxl is cocky and has a sense of humor. Jutting from his upper back are two long, white retractable "wings". His shoulder guards are pointed and his legs feature small booster-like compartments. His basic armor design is somewhat similar to X with a black sheen featuring red accents.
