Bue one day, the aerial city of Sky Lagoon is targeted by Mavericks, causing it to crash to the earth causing thousands of causalities. As Repliforce was in the area during the attack, they are asked to disarm themselves and come in for questioning, however the Colonel refuses due to his pride. To make matters worse the Repliforce leader, General, launches a coup d'état to start a nation only for Reploids to exist, which soon causes him and the entirety of Repliforce to be labeled as Mavericks by the government, forcing the Maverick Hunters to turn against their once allies.

''Mega Man X4'' is the fourth entry in the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series, released on the {{Playstation}} and SegaSaturn on July 1997 in Japan, August 1997 in North America, and October 1997 in Europe. It was also the first ''Mega Man X'' game not to be released on the SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem.

[[ExtyYearsFromNow In the year 21XX]], two large reploid armies to combat the outbreak of Mavericks exist, the Maverick Hunters including X and Zero, and the Repliforce. The two great organizations have worked together several times to counter Maverick activity, and it was during this time that Zero gets to know the Colonel and his sister Iris of the Repliforce. With the Maverick Hunters, X has also befriended a new ally, a clumsy rookie named Double.

Bue one day, the aerial city of Sky Lagoon is targetted by Mavericks, causing it to crash to the earth causing thousands of casualities. As Repliforce was in the area during the attack, they are asked to disarm themselves and come in for questioning, however the Colonel refuses due to his pride. To make matters worse the Repliforce leader, General, launches a coup d'état to start a nation only for Reploids to exist, which soon causes him and the entirity of Repliforce to be labled as Mavericks by the government, forcing the Maverick Hunters to turn against their once allies.

Mavericks:
* Web Spider of Repliforce, gives [[FloatingPlatforms Lightning Web]] to X, and [[ShockAndAwe Raijingeki]] to Zero
* Magma Dragoon of the 14th Special Unit, gives [[PlayingWithFire Rising Fire]] to X, and [[FlamingSword Ryuenjin]] to Zero
* Storm Owl of Repliforce, gives [[RazorWind Double Cyclone]] to X, and [[ImplausibleFencingPowers Tenkuuha]] to Zero
* Split Mushroom of Sigma's forces, gives [[SelfDuplication Soul Body]] to X, and [[SpinAttack Kuuenzan]] to Zero
* Frost Walrus of Repliforce, gives [[ElementalBarrier Frost Tower]] to X, and [[AnIcePerson Hyouretsuzan]] to Zero
* Slash Beast of Repliforce, gives [[SpreadShot Twin Slasher]] to X, and [[SwordBeam Shippuuga]] to Zero
* Jet Stingray of Repliforce, gives [[MookMaker Ground Hunter]] to X, and [[VideoGameDashing Hienkyaku]] to Zero
* Cyber Peacock of Sigma's forces, gives [[PlayerGuidedMissile Aiming]][[FrickinLaserBeams Laser]] to X, and [[BeamSpam Rakuhouha]] to Zero

----
!!Tropes:
* BilingualBonus: All of Zero's sword techniques retain their original Japanese names, for instance; Raijingeki translates to ''"Thunder God Attack"'' and Ryuenjin means ''"Dragon Flame Blade"''.
* BloodKnight: Magma Dragoon sabotages [[ColonyDrop Sky Lagoon]] and kills thousands just to force X or Zero to have to fight him in a final duel.
* ColonyDrop: Sky Lagoon during the intro stage.
* FaceHeelTurn: Former Maverick Hunter, Magma Dragoon.
** Once accused of turning Maverick, Repliforce starts a coup d'état to create a seperate nation only for Reploids.
** [[spoiler:Iris turns on Zero after Zero kills her brother]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:General ends up sacrificing himself to stop the KillSat Sigma had commandeered to KillAllHumans]].
* HonorBeforeReason: After the Sky Lagoon incident, Colonel refuses to disarm his troops to come in for questioning out of pride, which makes Repliforce as a whole look suspicious.
** Several Repliforce generals, including Storm Owl and Jet Stingray, start attacking innocent civilians in order to drive attention to themselves and away from Repliforce as they prepared to launch into space. This, of course, simply justifies the mandate that Repliforce has turned Maverick and must be destroyed.
* KillSat: The Repliforce space station[[spoiler:, Sigma plans on using the space laser to destroy all life back on earth]].
* LaserBlade: Zero's primary weapon, his Z-Saber.
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Double]].
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:Double]].
* RememberTheNewGuy: Repliforce, we're made to understand they've been around for awhile and have worked with the Maverick Hunters on several occassions.
* ShoutOut: Magma Dragoon is a big one for the entire ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise, he even uses the {{Shoryuken}} and the [[KamehameHadoken Hadoken]] by name.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Zero only has his [[LaserBlade Z-Saber]], so most of his upgrades give him more powerful or versitile sword techniques.
