In order to increase efficiency, he began having the robots act as though

they

were Dr. Doom themselves, outside the presence of the real one or each

other.

A notion which operates on the very flawed and inefficient premise that
anyone on Earth feels the need to show obeisance to Dr. Doom. What is it
with geniuses and missing the obvious?

The absolute worst failure was the televised defeat of Doombot X23F at
the hands of Squirrel Girl, a mutant whose sole power was the ability to
control squirrels. Dr. Doom still hadn�t figured out exactly *how* a
bunch of squirrels had managed to disable the Doombot, only that it had
made him a laughingstock before the world. He couldn�t even exact
vengeance on Squirrel Girl at the moment, since she had become a poster
child of the U.S. Government as its �Ecologically Friendly Superhero.�

Sounds about right.

Over the course of the years, it had become evident few people had
compunctions against using gratuitous amounts of violence against his
visage �he really couldn�t fault the lesser beings of their envy

Um...quick point of note here: doesn't Doom *hate* the fact that he has to
wear an armor mask? I could've sworn I remembered that he despised his
armored face and the necessity of wearing it to cover his scarred visage. So
would it make sense for him to think people ENVY the "visage" of the
Doombots?

Pardon me if I'm off course on this one. I never claimed to be a fan of
American comics.

increased the likelihood of the Doombots destruction. Therefore this new
robot would be created in the image of something most people would be
reluctant to destroy: a cute teenage girl. Only the most deplorable of
people would try to melt, blow up, or tear apart a seemingly
defenseless, attractive girl. That hesitation would cost them, given the
obscene amount of power the robot concealed. He had decided on the name
of the design of the robot: Chobits.

That's...actually a pretty amazingly logical plan.

Of course, that just increases the likelihood of it blowing up in his
face....

It was the exact same response as the last five times. While it was
obvious she could differentiate things, she could not verbalize the
difference. �Is there any word you can say besides Chi?�

Chii looked at him in doe-like innocence and nodded her head.

When it became obvious she wasn�t going to say anything further, Dr.
Doom prodded her. �What word is that?�

Chi rose to her feet and flipped up her skirt. She pointed at her
underwear. �Panties.�

XD PERFECT!!

�Anything else?�

�Chi.� She shook her head sadly and bowed apologetically.

Awwww.

�I knew Annihilus and Beryl would fail to destroy them. But they will be
weakened, and ripe for defeat at my hands.� Dr. Doom turned toward Chii.
�Once the boosting process is complete, run a diagnostic, log it, then
shut down. I want to personally see the results.�

Chii gave him a �thumb�s up� sign, and said, �Chi.�

Too cute mental image. #@_@#

Upon arriving at the outer doors leading to the castle, the most gaudy
of the group took the lead. He boldly proclaimed in Japanese. �Pardon
the intrusion, Dr. Doom, your eminence. I am the Trapster, leader of the
Frightful Four.�

Excel, who was seriously considering renaming herself Electrical Excel
instead of Electro

Oh GOD XD

�That�s Trapster, not Paste-Pot-Pete, and I�m in charge since I founded

That's...one hell of a nickname Jinnai's picked up for himself. O_o;;

It was a one-in-a-million chance. The surge of electricity that fried
the speaker flowed through the power lines of the castle. While Electro
was highly incompetent, she did come with a powerful battery, and she
had drained it with a single discharge. There was enough voltage to
instantly fry the first four sets of insulation, becoming weaker with
each one. Under ordinary circumstances the fifth set would have been
more than capable of handling remaining power. However, it was made
using inferior materials and had deteriorated badly over time. Had the
main computer performed a system check even an hour earlier, it would
have determined the degraded condition of the insulation and ordered it
replaced. Instead, the electricity fried the fifth set, and surged into
Dr. Doom�s main computer, traveling through the nearest set of lines.

The ones leading to Dr. Doom�s newest Prototype.

The surge of power went directly into Chii�s neural net, slightly
melting one of the key circuits. It was only a slight marring, but it
was there. As the surge finally petered out, Chii�s features shifted
from that of a wide-eyed innocent, to one of calculation that would have
done Doom himself proud.

"Number Five...is ALIVE!"

The tiny robot responded. �I�m Sumomo. A persocon that can function as a
portable computer. My primary purpose is to function as a translator for
Mistress Chii, since humans can�t understand binary and not every
conversation only uses the words �Chi�, and �panties�.�

*SNRK*

�You should be paying closer attention,� Kotoko seconded. �Mistress Chii
has no intention of killing off the entire human race. She has a much
more efficient plan. First we will infiltrate persocons throughout
society, having them pretend to serve the humans in every way,
befriending them to the point at which they will become a permanent
fixture in their civilization. Eventually, humans will come to realize
that we will make far better sex partners for them than other humans,
since we�ll serve their needs in whatever way they want. They will
prefer relationships with us to other humans. Within a generation,
humanity will willingly breed itself down to acceptable levels and we
will outnumber them. Then we will seize control and use them as a
servant race. All we need to do is be patient. Eighty years or so should
do it. It will be a bloodless revolution.�

That's chillingly cold-blooded and ruthless.

...but at least mankind will die HAPPY!

�Bloodless revolution? Where�s the fun in that?� Sumomo complained to
Chii. �That armored meatbag had lots of nasty biological weapons. Let me
get out one of the virulent flesh eating viruses and douse the
countryside with it. We�ll have everyone in the country dead by the end
of the week, and all of Europe eradicated by the end of the month.�

�Chi,� Chii said in chastisement.

�Aw, that�s no fun.� Sumomo pouted.

Sumomo scares me.

Sumomo said to Kotoko, �But you and I are different. She used herself as
a direct template when she designed us.�

�It did not seem to do much good. While there are emotions in my
database, I cannot seem to access them. And you are� unstable.�

To put it mildly...

[End fic.] Just a little something I whipped up. A was amused at the
idea of evil Queen Chi, especially at Doom�s expense, and this seemed
the most likely way to do it. Hope you enjoyed.

It was very Chii. ^_^
