「ロックマンX DiVE」Rockman X DiVE — 宿敵 ! 最強のフォルテプライド (Forte Event) [JP STORY]

I guess at this point we only will be getting Story Events and not Story Chapters. It’s been almost two months since the last chapter got released. ------------------ English name of the event: Special No. Translation of Japanese name: Nemesis! Forte’s Strongest Pride (roughly) ------------------ It’s NOT a re-run of the first collab, what a suprise! It’s something much different, just with the same stage (where I’m really bad at using Super Rockman in vanishing blocks’ section). So, instead of Darkman, we get Forte as our opponent (whose japanese bio actually MENTIONS his localized name - Bass. It’s not the first time when this happenes, but I love the way it gets mentioned: “By the way, his English name is Bass“ XD) Forte gets summoned here by a mysterious woman who looks suspisiosly similar to RiCO... damn you, SWN001, why are you blowing ViA and the Blue Shadow’s cover!? Well, after RiCO gets excited to meet that woman, ViA nervously tries to convince her to not even try to do it. Forte also explains that that woman told him to stay here and battle those who’ll enter this room, claiming that, if he’ll defeat them, she’ll let him fight his arch-nemesis (Rockman) and his future replacement (Zero). The fight happens, Forte is defeated, but Player and RiCO had chosen to leave him alive. He then tells the team that Player’s decision to not finish him off makes him weak, and that if he’ll ever do this again, he might as well be dead. I don’t know what you think, but Forte suprisingly feels like a combination of VAVA and Zero for me now. Wierd. RiCO and Player leave the stage, along with Forte, whose data will be analyzed to later be turned into a Hunter Program. ViA, however, stays here and starts to chat with the Blue Shadow. He scolds her for being so careless even after he told her to stay silent, but she replied with: “It’s okay to say hello to those kids. It might as well be a farewell greeting. But maybe it’s time for you to talk to them?“ ViA says that their only hope now is Player who will “stop“ (yes, in quotation marks) it. It all ends with: The Blue Shadow: “But I tell you, we can’t stay silent forever“ ViA: “...I know that, too“.
