Biography
Soldier Stonekong made his lair deep within a forest, where X, Zero and Axl were searching for energy. Upon meeting him, Stonekong challenges them to a duel. When Axl encounters him, he scolds him for doing something so evil. Stonekong replies that he is aware that Red Alert is being manipulated, but he doesn't regret it as he fights for loyalty not justice. Stonekong meets his demise in a duel and congratulates his opponent for doing a good job against him.
Stonekong mainly attacks by dashing towards the player and launching his shield at them. He can also leap on the cylinder in the center of the arena, where he will create a huge rock which splits in 2, each part flies in the opposite direction and explode when they get near each other. He also wields a stone sword which can be destroyed. His weakness is the Explosion when playing as X or Axl and the Hadangeki when playing as Zero.
