Bearer of the Demon Crown

"Stand ready for my arrival, worm."

“I have learned what a ‘Clanker’ is.”

<— Does not remember the name of the Robot that stopped him.

"Is this an internal monolouge? I can't see the end of the horizon..."

"The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun."

What’s the first thing he’s going to do upon coming back to life?

Look for a computer. Check his emails.

Then find another source of power that’ll help him with his evil plans.

However, he’s still The Doctor.

He was able to claim an incredible source of power once. Who’s to say he couldn’t do it again across the roleplay Multiverse?

Somewhat canon divergent because really, he died when the core was destroyed.

With Ballos defeated, the Demon Crown has lost a large portion of its power… He is no longer in control of Misery or Balrog, and the Red Flower appears to no longer exist without Ballos’s presence.

“Misery, gone. Balrog, who knows where. The Crown doesn’t seem to be giving as much power as it did before.

Well, at least I have the red-

Dammit, the flowers are gone.”

“Indeed.
I am the doctor.
And your new leader.
I should say it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Tell me, is there something you’d like to do with that sword of yours?
Heh…”

Fuyuhiko Date, aka The Doctor.

Wearer of the Demon Crown, enemy of the Mimiga.

// sorry folks who wanted the Maverick on the BSKY space.

damn this is the second time I dropped memory-loss Sigma.

Flavor Text, spoken by the Bison Virus: ...VERMIN... YOU AMuSE ME. TO COMmeND YOUR EFFoRTS, I SHALL PERSONALLY ENTeRTAIN Y0U DURiNG YOuR FINAL BITTER MoMENTS OF LIFE! STRuGGLE ALL YoU WISH—YOU WiLL ACHIEVE NOTHiNG. A Cyberworld virus designed after M. Bison (Street Fighter) that takes the form of his head and floating hands. Below him is a red button that is used to stop the program, and a timer displaying 00:02:59. In context of this card pack, this is a virus likely designed by F.A.N.G. as a failsafe to protect the self-destruct program Shadaloo is using to blow up Den City. He’s about to be fought by Lan, MegaMan.EXE, and Ryu (who’s been transported into the Cyberworld to battle Bison).

Well that sounded like a noble good guy speech to her.
“Right! That is definitely correct! Yep!
Say I need to make a call to my teammate, do you think you can sit tight for a moment?”

"I was meant to be new. I was meant to be beautiful. The world would've looked to the sky and seen hope, seen mercy. Instead, they'll look up in horror."

“Of course.”

Nowhere else to go.

“Anger? No. It is our duty to protect both Humans and Reploids from the harm of the Maverick.

Humans are important to the future. Without humans, Reploids would have never been created. It’s vital that Reploids make peace with Humans, this is the purpose of the Maverick Hunters.”

“I am… Sigma of the 17th Elite Maverick Hunter unit. But from what I’ve been told of history… later in the future, a Maverick impersonated me to undo my efforts of upholding the peace.”

That’s what he’s been told.

“My memory is damaged, however, with many important details missing.”

He pauses. That statement could mean many things…

“The Maverick Hunters first found him in an underground laboratory. Upon waking, he killed an entire unit of Hunters, as well as anyone unfortunate enough to cross him. I can only recall being sent to neutralize him… & barely coming out alive…”

“Omega? Understood. I’m sure that whatever model he is, I’m finally outmatched.

Likewise… you should be on the watch for a Red Maverick going by the name Zero.”

“Yes… I can recall that we were able to contain him… though it’s been so many years since…

Don’t worry about me. I came out alive. Doctor Caine built me well.”

“I remember…

The Red Maverick…

An uncontrollable violence… what happened to him?…

How did I survive?…”

// sounds fun

Standing outside the Museum, trying to have a moment of silence for his Fallen Brethren…

Unaware of how they fell, he clings to the belief they died to protect the peace…

Completely unaware of his terrible deeds.

Sigma realized… he probably wouldn’t get any answers here. Not when the caretaker clearly seems so… troubled by his presence. He looked at iCO, observing her aggressive glare.

He leaves the museum.

This… irritated iCO.

She had dreams of this moment… getting rid of the Maverick that resulted in…

“It’s better you don’t remember. If you do, then you’ll understand why I can’t terminate you now.”

If what he was saying is true, it’d be pointless to destroy a vessel without his true program.

Sigma steps back.

He remembers what Lep told him.

“It’s okay… I don’t mean any harm. I’m the real… him, not the impersonating Maverick…”

He looks at the exhibits behind the security gates.

“My memory data is missing vital history. I was hoping coming here would help with recollection.”

Sigma approaches the Robot Museum, cloaked to hide his identity.

He approaches @irregulardive.bsky.social, cautious with awareness that his presence is not the most welcoming.

“Hello-“

“That’s… troubling… My presence must be unnerving to many, then…”

He contemplates… it’s best not to show up in public or it’d bring up bad memories and panic for others.

“It would be best I not trouble everyone with it.”

He looked… well, a bit sad, honestly, but there was a bit of catharsis.

“That’s… unfortunate…“

He sighs.

“They all were good men who would give their lives for the sake of our cause. I’m certain they were happy to serve the people and fight for justice to their final moments…”

“Repairs would be appreciated… but right now, I can’t stop thinking about my crew…

Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, Chill Penguin, Spark Mandrill, Armor Armadillo, Launch Octopus, and Sting Chameleon…

It must be years since my last communications to them…”
