In the original, Zero simply said his last words to X, who was kneeling next to him, and disintegrated without any dialogue from X.

He glances at the one next to his, only to remember that Zero's not joining him this time around. Because the sequels to ''Maverick Hunter X'' got cancelled, Zero is pretty much dead permanently in this continuity. Adding to it is the flashback of Dr. Cain finding X's capsule and we see a near-death Dr. Light explaining X's purpose.

* X's objective since the very first game is to fight for a world where humans and Reploids co-exist peacefully. Dr. Light even expresses this wish in his video to Dr. Cain in the ending of Maverick Hunter X. How does it all end? Peace is finally achieved when Zero sacrifices his life at the end of ''Mega Man Zero 4'', but neither he nor X live to see that peace.
* In the manga version of ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX3 X3]]'' Chapter 9 ([[https://mangaowl.net/single/13110/rockman-x3 here]]), the Maverick Toxic Seahorse has drowned an entire town, poetically proclaiming it to be "holy ground", upon which our heroes X and Zero should stay away. He also ominously says that he is "already dead". They do battle across the town, and eventually come out victorious, forcing Seahorse to flee. When X and Zero follow him, they see he has escaped to the top of a tree, and is quietly hugging a frozen, female Reploid, who was presumably his girlfriend. Seahorse is also about to liquefy his programming. X wants to apprehend him, noting that Seahorse will be gone forever and die if he liquefies his main program, but Zero convinces him not to, saying they have finished their task of defeating Seahorse and fixing the dam he ruined. The look on X's face when he realizes what is going on just sells it.
-->'''Narrator''': It was then when X remembered. Seahorse had called his dam his "holy ground" and he had said that "he was already dead"... But there was no way X could have understood the true meaning of those words. The honorable dam recovered its original function again. The ruins fell into silent sleep.

What makes the song all the more depressing is that it's sung by part-seiyuu, part-rock star Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo, who also ''voices'' X in X5, meaning that the words said are all coming from the mouth of the grieving Reploid himself.
