It's time to finish off Sigma yet again...
Sigma's not done yet. This time around, you'll fight a much bigger Sigma. He'll tell you he has recruited a new partner, who has created a new body for you that he's using right now. That new partner is never mentioned, but is hinted at when you play as Zero, whom Sigma tells is the same guy he's met in his dreams.
Sigma's weak spot will be the gem in his forehead. If this reminds you of the battle with Gamma at the end of Mega Man 3, give yourself a pat on the back. Avoid the fists that fly at you and use them as platforms when necessary to shoot at that gem with Spike Ball if you're playing as X. Use Twin Dream and Crescent Slash if you're Zero, and make sure you're far enough away from Sigma's weak point so your hologram hits the Jewel.
When Sigma is in wire frame mode, you can't damage him. He has to be in his full-color corporeal mode in order to take damage.
The energy balls that he fires onto the ground will then home in on you. They will all home in on you, and they can be difficult to dodge at times. The hand will track you from above and try to fire lightning bolts at you, and these lightning bolts cover a good section of the room as they move.
Every once in a while, Sigma will attack you with purple block that combine to form one big one. The first one is impossible to dodge, but the rest can be dodged rather easily. He doesn't pull it out that often. As a matter of fact, he may not pull it out at all.
When you beat Sigma, depending on who you play as, and assuming he'll try to take the other character down with him as he explodes. There is nothing you can do as Sigma dies (assumingly for the last time).
There are two endings for X and one for Zero.
In X's ending,(automatically assuming Zero did not turn Maverick, as you wouldn't have him if he did), you'll see a nearly-destroyed Zero lying on the ground, with X looking over him. X tries to pick him up when he hears a voice from a skull-like face with a "W" symbol on its forehead behind him. The skull face shoots a laser that goes through both X and Zero, and as they fall back to the ground, Zero blasts the skull face. Zero then mutters that X's optimism led to his own demise, and that X should live. Zero then remembers things from the past, such as Iris from X4 and the "old man" that has been mentioned through the game. He now realizes that he was the one created to destroy Reploids. Zero realizes he needs to die for there to be peace.
You'll then see a beaten up X. A hologram Dr. Light shows up, tells him not to die just yet, and instructs him to relax. After that, the game cuts to three years later. What happens next depends on whether or Zero went Maverick. If Zero did turn Maverick, the game cuts to a week later. You'll find out X's memories of Zero are somehow erased by a mysterious figure who rescued him (most possibly the Dr. Light hologram), and that he was returned to the Hunters already fully repaired. X also says he wants to create "Elysium," a paradise where humans and Reploids can peacefully coexist. If Zero did not turn Maverick, Zero sacrifices himself. He still remembers him, and carries Zero's Z-saber wherever he goes so he always feels close to him.
In Zero's ending, Zero reflects on his life before dying. He remembers things from the past, such as Iris from X4 and "that old man" before he realizes he must die in order for there to be peace and kicks the bucket. You never find out what happens to X in that ending, which is a bit disappointing.
