Plot
<!-- One year following Vent's victory over Elpizo, the Dark Elf remains at large. During this time, Ciel has finished her research on a new energy supply to end the crisis, dubbed the "Ciel System". While en route to Neo Arcadia to propose the Ciel System in hopes of ending the conflict and the genocide of Reploids, a spaceship with the Dark Elf's energy reading crashes to Earth.

Vent sets out to investigate, but instead finds some the Guardians (Zero, Axl and Harpuia) fighting against the Baby Elves.

The Dark Elf appears in a human residential district in Neo Arcadia, leading Dr. Weil to launch a missile in order to incapacitate it. Although successful in capturing the Dark Elf, the incident kills thousands of humans. Following this event, Ciel rescinds her offer of the Ciel System, leading Dr. Weil to brand the Resistance as Mavericks and subsequently launch an invasion against them. The Resistance is able to delay the invasion until Vent locates Dr. Weil, who declares himself the new ruler of Neo Arcadia and announces his true intention for capturing the Dark Elf: to fuse it with Omega and link them with a frequency transmitter that would enable Omega to control the minds of every Reploid on Earth.

While Vent is unconscious, X appears and tells Vent that it's up to him to protect the Earth and defeat Dr. Weil. Finally out of power, X vanishes forever. The Dark Elf, known as the Mother Elf once more, delivers Vent to the Resistance Base before flying away.

Two months have passed since Vent defeated X. He has since separated from Ciel and the Resistance, now wandering the desert and defeating countless Pantheons. The Eight Gentle Judges have assumed command over Neo Arcadia, leading to a civil war between the loyalists, lead by the Four Guardians and the compromisers, lead by Zero(who has been awakened after X's and Omega's defeat). X's death was covered up, as the humans revered him as their savior. The Resistance is now being led by a Reploid named Elpizo, while Ciel continues her work on a new form of energy that will hopefully eliminate the need for war.

Vent wearily makes his way through a sandstorm wrapped in a tattered cloak. As the sands die down he is once more being chased by enemies. Despite being in disrepair, with cracked armor and broken weapons, he charges into the fray. After the battle, Vent collapses from exhaustion and is found by Zero. Wishing to see Vent die in battle rather than perish from exhaustion, Zero rescues Vent and covertly delivers him to a location near the Resistance base, where he is found and repaired. He learns that Elpizo is planning a frontal assault on Neo Arcadia, as he doesn't believe in Ciel's plan of creating energy as means to resolve the war. Unable to convince him to call it off, Vent is left to do busy-work in the meantime.

Elpizo's assault fails miserably, himself being the only survivor. Driven mad, he declares his desire to harness the power of the legendary Dark Elf to destroy Neo Arcadia (and wipe out the humans), which had brought about the Elf Wars a century ago that left the Earth in a disastrous state. Using the powers granted by partially unsealing the Dark Elf, he invades Neo Arcadia and breaks into the temple where the original body of X is kept. It is revealed that X ended the Elf Wars by sealing the Dark Elf away with his body, thus leading to the creation his defective body. Despite the Guardians' and Vent's best efforts, Elpizo destroys X's oriignal body, which unseals the Dark Elf, and Elpizo absorbs its powers.

After a fierce battle, Vent puts an end to Elpizo's plans, who reverts to his normal self and apologizes as he dies. Surprisingly, the Dark Elf turns him into a Cyber-elf, convincing Elpizo that she is not truly evil. As the Dark Elf departs, X appears and tells Vent about the Dark Elf: she was originally known as the Mother Elf and was the savior who ended the Maverick Wars, but was later cursed by a man named Dr. Weil. Vent admits to feeling like he knows her.-->
