This is the "Deep Log",a place within cyberspace,which contains game data information and the memories of the players having fun with the various games. There is a Deep Log for each game and player in the world, and they have been stored and managed for decades. After all this time, corruption and other problems may cause some program errors.
The Deep Log from the Rockman franchise,administrated by RiCO, is having unknown errors that are causing data corruption. It is the job of the "Player" to repair the data and get rid of the errors in order to protect the Deep Log,by using Hunter Programs to get rid of the Irregular Data. Each program not only has a default weapon and ability,but they can equip various weapons that the player acquires.
ViA,a former admin,will be assisting RiCO from time to time. He was created using leftover data from Zero's Hunter Program...hence why he resembles Zero.

(Transitions to RiCO standing in front of the New Main Menu,where the player has the following options - Mission,Co-op Mission,Capsule,Lab,Event,Challenge,Equip,Verses,Ranking,and Character. On the top of the screen is how much Zenny the Player has.)
RiCO: Hello Welcome to XDiVE 2.0,a 2D action-platformer made with a modified engine from Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. While the gameplay is largely similar to that of a typical side-scrolling Mega Man game, certain aspects are changed in that the player can attack enemies from all angles with an optional automatic aim system (similar to that of Mega Man X7).
RiCO: Unfortunately,enemies don't drop any recovery items,but Characters can purchase Sub Tanks,which they can get refilled at the Lab. Also,besides their Prime Weapons,a Character can use a secondary weapon,which includes Maverick/Robot Master Special Weapons.
RiCO: A single-stage from a mainline game is split up into 3 different levels with a boss at the end of each of them, i.e., the Highway Stage from Mega Man X is split up into 3 chapters. Each level completion will reward players' with Zenny,Memory Points and/or Star Points. Star Points act as some type of EXP System. With enough Stars,the Character will be upgraded a Hunter Rank. Though,the growth depends on the character. Meaning some characters will need more or less Stars than others to gain a Rank.
RiCO: Now,let's talk Money. Zenny,the game's currency,can be earned after a Mission. The amount you earn depends on your Hunter Rank. The higher the Rank the bigger the pay. Speaking of Hunter Rank,there are Weapons and Armors that can only be bought by Hunters with high enough Ranks. The Higher the Rank,the stronger the Weapon and Armor you can buy.
RiCO: Memory Points are special data used to upgrade the player's stats. Once Memory Points are accumulated,players can use them to Rank Up their base stats and HP by as many Memory Points they currently have. Though,keep in mind,the Player can only get 1 Memory Point per Completed Mission and the prizes are random,so you may not even end up getting them. But keep trying,Player..
RiCO: Let's talk Character Stats. Though Memory Points,the Player can upgrade one of 4 Stats. Those are - Power,which makes your Character's Primary Weapon stronger. Defense,which gives you more durability. Speed,which makes you faster. And Special,which increases the strength of Special Attacks. You can also upgrade your HP,which will increase by 10 with a single Memory Point.
RiCO: Next up is Special Weapons. Each weapon has their own level of power and set number of times you can use them. Each Special Weapon has it's own handy use. Try each out for yourself. Now,we get into Special Attacks. These are called Dive Triggers and are very powerful. Each Character can equip one Trigger per mission and the skill can only be used once every stage. Dive Triggers can't be recovered or recharged once used. Sorry. .
RiCO: Force Metals can be found in stages and can be used to create armor and weapons at the Lab. Once created,the Item can be bought at the Shop. Remember,If you're Character's Hunter Rank is insufficient,they won't be able to buy certain Weapons or Armor.
RiCO: And Finally,the Game Modes. First we have "Mission",which is the single-player campaign missions. Next is "Co-op Mission",Missions for 2 Players. "Event" are special missions where you can obtain special rare rewards found nowhere else. "Capsule" allows your Character to equip Special Armors and Outfits. "Equip" is where you Equip Special Weapons,Dive Triggers,and upgrade Base Stats.
RiCO: Now the "Challenge" Mode divides into two sub-modes - Boss Challenge and Jakob Elevator. "Boss Challenge" is Boss refights that will award the player with Zenny. The more Bosses you terminate,the more Zenny you'll earn. "The Jakob Orbital Elevator" has Players fight waves of enemies on each floor. Some floors contain boss fights reminiscent of X Challenge. Complete it and you will receive 2 Memory Points and 500,000 Zenny as reward.
RiCO: "Verses" is self-explanatory. You and a buddy go Head-to-Head in a "1-on-1","2-on-2",or "3-on-3" battle. "The Lab" is where you can take your collected Force Metals and Douglas,the Lab Keeper,will make Special Weapons and Armor from them. It also doubles as a Shop<which is also run by Douglas. "Character" is also self-explanatory. It's the basic Character Select. And Finally "Rank". Here you can check on your Characters current Hunter Rank and how many Stars they'll need for the next Rank.

RiCO: And that about does it for the Introduction to this latest upgrade to the Deep Log.
(Suddenly the 'Warning Buzz' is heard. ViA arrives)
ViA: RiCO. We have an emergency.
RiCO: What's the issue,ViA?
ViA: Somethings Wrong with The Deep Log. I was doing some beta testing on the latest system update,when I came across an anomaly that I couldn't fix.
RiCO: Oh. What's wrong?
ViA: A malfunction in the system causes all Female Hunter Programs to go barefoot
in All outfits. Plus,all Male Hunter Programs have been locked out,so it's Ladies Only. Weather this is a glitch in the system or the result of
a hacker is unknown. Due to this,The Female Hunter Programs can no longer dash,though
they can slide,I think. And to make matters even worse for the ladies,a bunch of
Mechanaloids with tickling abilities were just added to the Deep Log,along
with Clown Man,who's in a tickling mood. Even weirder,I have discovered some strange creatures that,according to to data - drain vitality by sucking the victims toes.
RiCO: Oh my! (giggles) Hopefully we'll be able to work things out soon. I'll tell the girls to be on the look out for these foes. In the meantime,we should make things comfortable for our girls. I'll install Special Foot Massage stations in each stage to restore health.
ViA: That's odd. Can you really program something like Heath Restoration Foot Massages into the Deep Log?
RiCO: Sure,it'll be easy. Hopefully my work won't be canceled out by the Malfunction.
(Warning Buzz. RiCO leaves and comes back a minute later)
RiCO: Looks like Mavericks have generated all over the Rockman Deep Log.
ViA: It's time to get to work. Player,Select Your Character.
(We are taken to the 'Character' Menu,where the Player has a Choice between 3 Barefooted Characters - X5-7 Alia,Layer,and X4 Iris. Each girl is barefoot,though still have the shin parts of their armor. Each reploid girl's pretty feet were of different sizes,with Layer's feet being the biggest of the 3. They even have their toenails painted. Alia has hot pink nails,Iris has blue nails,and layer has purple. Highlighting each Huntress displays their stats)
