Safely aboard the aircraft, Zero is met with a scientist who introduces himself as Dr. Vile calls out to the Reploid stating that "this isn't over". A voice calls out to Zero to grab a hold of a chain that was lowered to him and he escapes before Vile can deal a finishing blow. Beating Zero down to a pulp, Vile continues to taunt him but is abruptly cut off when an aircraft flies in and fires rockets at Vile's Ride Armor.

Vile taunts the red Reploid and proceeds to attack him with his new Ride Armor, the Chimera MK-V, after setting the forest on fire. Zero soon faces an old and familiar face once more, Vile. The Reploid's efforts were in vain however, as the entirety of Colbor's team had already been retired. Colbor passes away and Zero moves forward to try to locate and rescue the rest of Colbor's team. He hands Zero his old buster, but the weapon was missing the saber in its slot. With the last of his strength, Colbor asks Zero to save the rest of his team members. Colbor begins to express his relief as he faces the red Reploid once again for the first time in 100 years, though unsure if what he was seeing was but an illusion. Zero is reunited with Colbor, though he is mortally wounded. Upon collecting himself once more, Zero rushes ahead to try to catch up to the fleeing soldiers when he comes across a familiar face. Before he can make sense of the situation, Zero is shot from behind and sent tumbling down. As Zero looks across the area around him, he takes notice of some soldiers trying to flee from a group of robots at the bottom of the cliff. Weil, and Zero regains consciousness on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a vast and lively forest. One hundred years passed since the end of the war against Dr. After breaking down into tears, Ciel goes on to promise Zero that she will keep working hard to achieve true peace between humans and Reploids. Ciel and the Resistance, as well as Neige and the refugees in Area Zero. In doing so, he secured not only the safety of humans and Reploids, but also the safety of Dr. In his final moments, Zero resolved himself to defeat Dr.
