Lumine's armor changes and he gains a helmet similar to Zero's, his skin turns pale white, and his hands become claws. His final form is based on an angel in direct contrast to Sigma's demonic final appearance. Lumine also lacks a helmet with the intention of giving him a more human appearance. His armor is of a slim design, having a white and dark purple color scheme with green hexagonal accents and a large blue jewel on his chest. Lumine appears as a young adolescent Reploid with long lavender hair, most of it styled into a half-moon motif with a fringe covering one half of his face, which features gold eyes, but no eyebrows. He fights them, but after a fierce battle, is eventually defeated, his final words hinting that defeating him is too little too late, and will not stop what has already begun. He declares that Humanity, Old model Reploids and the "Old World" in general have all changed irrevocably since Sigma started his war, and that it was time for evolution to take it's course, and all of them be eliminated, creating a world for only him and his kind. In fact, he shows a great deal of respect for Sigma 's cause, citing that Sigma in fact helped HIS plan along. Not controlled by any viruses, but thinking the same way he does.Īfter he is defeated, Lumine appears to the trio, and reveals that he was never kidnapped or ever in any danger. This creates a loophole in the New Generation Viral immunity, as while they are immune to the Sigma Virus, his DNA causes their way of thinking itself to change and match his philosophy, thus causing them to become not only Maverick, but Sigma's own equals. He refers to the new generation Reploids as his "children", much to the surprise of the Hunters, and reveals that since the beginning of the Jakob project, he had managed to infiltrate it and play his hand in the creation of New Generation Reploids, making sure that his DNA was also present. They then follow to the moon and after fighting Vile again, confront the true Sigma. After using the Jakob Elevator to reach the orbiting satellite "Gateway" where the transmission was coming from, they fight Sigma and discover that who they fought was not Sigma, but a copy of him. They are dispatched by X, Zero and Axl, and soon, Sigma reveals himself to them, as the mastermind behind the whole kidnapping, wanting to take the Jakob Project for himself. However, he is soon kidnapped afterwards by Vile, and New Generation Reploids vital to the Jakob Project begin going Maverick and staging a revolt. Lumine then greets X, telling him that the new generation Reploids are completely immune to all the viruses, being able to copy even someone as dangerous as Sigma without any risk. X, who was scouting the area, finds the car, and is surprised when a Reploid with the looks of Sigma comes out, and is even more surprised when many other Reploids resembling Sigma appear. However, one of the cars used by the workers breaks out, falling from the elevator. Lumine, A new generation Reploid, (Reploids with the ability to alter their shape and form by utilizing a vast assortment of Reploid DNA on their chips, also allowing them invulnerability to viruses, as all harmful changes are reverted like any other transformation) was put in charge of the "Jakob Project", A large orbital elevator made to transport Reploids and materials to the Moon. After many years of war against the Mavericks, the humans started to develop technology for space travel, especially for the humans to populate the Moon, in an attempt to escape the endless wars on Earth caused by Reploids.
