Victor von Doom, better known to the world by the title of �Dr. Doom�,
armor-wearing, supreme ruler for life of his home country of Latveria,
was busy at work in his main laboratory in Castle Doom. It was
unfortunate he had to be there, but Fate had seen fit to place obstacles
in his path, the one of fulfilling his moral obligation of ruling the
world. Such a destiny was inevitable. He was the most brilliant being on
the face of the planet, as well as a born leader. Obviously he was
destined to rule the Earth and shepherd it into a Utopia undreamt of by
mankind.

$The funny thing was, he was probably right.  He probably would have
been a decent leader, with enough checks and balances.

Yep. It's that ego that kills him.

At the forefront of the resistance were two groups. One was the accursed
Reed Richards, Dr. Doom�s intellectually inferior rival from his days as
a student at Empire State University.

$No fusion?

Some Marvelverse characters are straight up. Dr Bruce Banner, Thunderbolt 
Ross. Henry peter Gyrich. All basically unchanged.

Of all the people on the Earth,
only Richard�s intellect came close to Doom�s own. Rather than seeing
the obvious, that it was Doom who should rule over all, the American was
jealous. Instead of becoming a servant prestigious enough to serve at
the right hand of Dr, Doom, he saw fit to impede the Latverian�s various
schemes. Through Richard�s manipulation of his cohorts --his fianc�e,
the stalwart Susan Storm, her impetuous brother, Jonathan Storm, and the
abrasive mental gorilla, Benjamin J. Grimm-- he had formed an
organization known as the Adventurers of the Fantastic.

$Eh?

They are a non-powered group. Sort of like the group in the "What If The 
Fantastic Four Didn't Have Powers.' I'll mention that at the end

Fantastic, the hideous (in both strength and appearance) Thing, the
self-proclaimed priestess of fire, the Human Torch, and the translucent
mistress of force-fields, the Invisible Girl. Collectively they had
dubbed themselves the �Fantastic Four� and even Dr. Doom was forced to
admit they were not completely incompetent.

$So we've got a fusion, and a not fusion?  Odd.

All the Marvelverse canon characters are probably there in one way or the 
other, with a few exceptions (like the Asgardians)

They had bothered him enough
that he turned some of his personal attention toward them. So far all
the Doctor had determined was that they had stumbled on some ruins under
their school and pierced a dimensional barrier, journeying to some
magnificent world that had imbued them with their powers-- though Doom
had come to suspect that the Shayla-Shayla girl might have originated in
that far-off sphere.

$Ahhhh.  Okay.  I get it now.  I don't know if you've done them before,
I haven't seen it.

The spin off series to this David Dee is doing. It's called 'Defending'. 
I'll give him credit for it.

Once Doom had finished asserting control over the
Earth, perhaps he would turn his attention to that magnificent world.
After all, one planet was hardly enough to contain his greatness. Maybe
even a universe would be insufficient. Being the most brilliant being in
existence required grandiose plans.

$Not even smart enough to realize he's not the smartest.

But he does firmly believe he is the most clever. :)

But such strategies were for a later time. More immediate concerns
required his personal attention. Since Dr. Doom�s time was too important
for him to personally deal with every matter, and he didn�t trust anyone
to be remotely competent enough to properly serve his needs, he employed
his vast intellect to create automatons to carry out his will. The
robots were, naturally, created in his armored image and dubbed
�Doombots� to reflect the genius of their maker.

$Armed with flying, seeking explosive spheres known a sneeches, plus
lightsabers for close combat, they would easily overwhelm the pitiful
defenses of the humans to take away one of every set of twins every
generation.

Don't know that one. Where does it originate in?

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.

$Wouldn't mind capturing her and bending her to my will.  I'd never go
hungry again.

Heh. Pretty much

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� but it
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.

$Personally, I think he's a dumb ass for not thinking of that in the
first place.

It was his ego making the Doombots look like him. And to use them as a 
scapegoat when he failed. They actually did that as a backup story in a 
giant sized FF, mostly as a jab at Simonson and his idiot attempt to imply 
that the 'real' Dr Doom hadn't appeared since issue 15 or so of the original 
series, and it was nothing more than a series of Doombots that had been 
losing left and right. LIke the Beyonder would have grabbed a fake, and a 
dozen other times Doom ended up in situations where a Doombot could never 
have passed himself off as the genuine artical.

Only the most deplorable of
people would try to melt, blow up, or tear apart a seemingly
defenseless, attractive girl.

$The evil ones would.

Yes, they are covered in 'the most deploable of people' bit.

Dr. Doom decided the prototype would be deployed against the Fantastic
Four, so he designed it with a slender build, long flowing blond hair
and a look of innocence at all times. It could even cry. Given it was
Doom�s genius behind the design, it took only a handful of days to build
a working model that would have taken a room full of robotic experts
months to create. However, there was a problem with the Chii-FF7

$FF7?  Why?

Though I've never played Final Fantasy, it was on my mind

�It�s inconceivable,� Dr. Doom mumbled to himself.

$He keeps saying that, and I don't think it means what he thinks it does.

People keep saying that as well. Although I think it means what they think 
it means. :)

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.

$Obviously, he needs to sit down and have a language lesson.  Or, if he
can't do it, import a pathetically horny and none too bright japanese
bumpkin and have him do it.

Ha! That might work

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

$Heheh.  She learned that one quick.

Yep.

Excel, who was seriously considering renaming herself Electrical Excel
instead of Electro said, �I thought Lord Illpa- I mean Mr. Wizard was
our leader.�

�As did I,� Medusa Hyatt said.

$Heh, not familiar with those supervillains at all, but I do like Excel.

They are comic relief in Defending.

The Wizard said, �I am content to allow Paste-Pot-Pete to lead us for
the moment, and see what fruit his plans will bear.�

$The thing is, Ilpallatzo is already more or less a supervillain.  Isn't
this sorta... redundant?

Yeah. He fit the bill quite nicely.

The Wizard cleared his throat, gaining Jinnai�s attention. �I believe
you have a proposition to make.�

$Ahhh.  Okay.

To Doom.

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,

$Yeah, yeah, that describes Excel all right.  Only real difference is
that she discharges it a electricity.

I hadn't thought of it, but that is a pretty good way of describing canon 
Excel.

Chii disconnected the wires from the back of her head and walked over to
the central computer dominating the room. Dr. Doom created it himself.
It was the third most powerful non-sentient computer of Earthly origin
on the entire planet, surpassed only by the Machinesmith�s mainframe in
Japan, and a laptop designed by Sidney S. Goldfarb of Toledo, Ohio, who
was actually five time smarter than Dr. Doom, but had no desire to rule
the world.

$A direct result of actually being that smart, actually.

Heh

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was three days later when Dr. Doom�s personal rocket ship touched
down on the roof of Castle Doom, looking the worse for wear. A number of
its panels were missing, one of the engines was inoperable, and the
every inch of the exterior was covered in graffiti. Most of it was
dedicated to how great the �Yancy Street Gang� was and made disparaging
remarks about Dr. Doom being a �Tin-Plated Napoleon� and dressing like a
�color blind Frenchmen.� The latter truly offended Dr. Doom.

$Yeah.  The nerve of them, calling him color blind.

Not quite

upward and Dr. Doom emerged. He turned to look at the exterior of his
ship. �Neanderthals.� He swore one of his first acts as ruler of the
world would be the razing of Yancy Street and the public executions of
all that lived there.

$Few people would mind, really.

Nah. Yancy St. ain't that bad a place. They helped Ben from time to time

Walking down the ramp and to the roof�s surface, Dr. Doom was surprised
to discover a group waiting for his arrival. It was a squad of Doombots,
headed by Chii, who was dressed in an alluring black leather outfit that
accentuated her lean, feminine figure.

$Freya?

Not really. It's actually just Chii trying to be evil.

Curiously, there was a small
robot on her shoulder, looking like a tiny doll. It was dressed in a
loose, bright pink outfit of mid-eastern design and had a curious hat on
her head.

$Heh.  I always wanted a Sumomo.  She was mind numbingly cute, but not
in an annoying way.  At least to me, and I have little compulsion
against shooting puppies.

Wow. She did rub you the right way. :)

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�.�

Heh.

The little robot on Chii�s shoulder pulled out a normal-sized (which
meant absurdly large on her) whistle and blew it at the top of her
lungs. �Warning! Warning! Don�t take another step, Meatbag!�

$Ah, HK 47.   Your legacy will live on.

Don't know that one. I think I was conversing about this idea with David Dee 
and he might have recommended the term.

Chii tried laughing in sinister fashion at her handiwork, but the best
she could manage was a high-pitched snicker and a glance that made her
look insufferably cuter.

$The kind of cute that gets you put in jail.

Heh.

�Actually, every living being in the country despises you. When Mistress
Chii announced she was the new ruler, everyone threw a really big party.
There was lots of ice cream and pie, and then we had a vote about which
one of your loses was the most pathetic. The one with Squirrel Girl won
in a landslide.�

$Yeah, it would.

It was. I think Stan was having a pity party for Ditko that day and let him 
throw that worthless story in a Season Special.

Sumomo pouted. �Aw. �Take the meatbag out� is a lot better than,
�Dispatch him�.�

$That's true.

Agree

�Chi.� Chii said sharply.

�I do take my translation job seriously. It�s just a little creative
licensing is sometimes needed. Besides, they are useless hunks of
organic matter. They�re good for compost and that�s about it.�

$Hey, I take exception to that.  I mean, without us, how would machines
breed?

Oh, these one's have figured that one out.

At the master control of the operation was a persocon that was Sumomo�s
size. It had dark hair and wore a plain white robe. Unlike Sumomo, it
had a very intense, serious look about it.

$I did like Kotoko, though I doubt she'd download porn with the same
enthusiasm as Sumomo.

True. She was the straight man to Sumomo

�Cool,� Sumomo said. �We�ll insinuate them into every home in the world,
and then, when the meatbags least expect it, we�ll rise up and destroy
them. It�ll be like �The Matrix� but with a happy ending.�

$Oh, the Wachowski bro, eh, siblings get shot?

Actually all the humans end up dead.

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.

$Except some of the persocoms will acheive humanity and fall in love
with their 'owners', throwing a big monkey wrench into the plans.

Not at present. They lack that potential, even though Chii is trying for it

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.�

$Rise of the machines.  Again.

Sort of.

�Mistress Chii has been unable to duplicate the accident which helped
her achieve true sentience. All of the persocons will essentially be
nothing more than pale imitations of Mistress Chii, and not a true
Chobit, like herself.�

Sumomo said to Kotoko, �But you and I are different. She used herself as

$Somehow, that just sounds awkward to me.  Try putting Sumomo said at
the end of the dialogue.

Okay

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.�

$Chi: Chi.  Chi chi.
Sumomo:  What do you mean you shouldn't have used Windows Me as a basis
for my operating system?!

Heh

Kotoko said. �That�s impossible. With his force field disabled, that
should have been five times the power necessary to destroy him.�

$She'll find meatbags tougher to eradicate than that.

Especially Doom. Other villains have tried to kill him as well, with little 
success. Come to think of it, he probably has had the greatest number of bad 
guys try to do him in, since he's out to conquor them as well. Diablo. The 
Red Skull. The Faceless One. Attuma, Krang, and a host of others.

An automated forklift came up from the depth of the armory, bearing a
cannon large enough to be a tank mounted weapon. Given the recent
proliferation of armored super heroes, Dr. Doom had designed it to be
used against them, its shells powerful enough to pierce just about any
armor. It was intended to be used in combat by the Doombots. Chii lifted
it off the forklift, wielding its two tons like a soldier would a rifle,
and rested it on the shoulder opposite of Sumomo.

$Physics, people.  *sigh*

Comic books physics. Very flexible

She�d send the
remaining Doombots swarming over the countryside as well. Still, she
doubted her forces would locate him. There was no safe harbor to be
found in Latveria, and Doom knew it. It would be far better to flee to
some other country and set up a new base of operations so he could plan
to retake control of Latveria from a safer location. It appeared she had
underestimated the Doctor. She would not make such a mistake a second 
time.

$Yeah, she would.

But she doesn't think she will

Still, it was a time to rejoice. She�d start to issue her Persocons to
the general populace, reinforce the castle and set up some defenses of
her own making, and begin her search for Dr. Doom while keeping an eye
open for robots like her she could be friends with.

It was good to be the Queen.

$Heh, evil Chi.  That's cute.  Of course, anything with Chi is cute,
though chobits is probably about the saddest manga I've ever read.  I
cried at the end.  They finally get together, and no sex?  WAAH!  Of
course, there are options beyond straight old sex...

True. Only saw he anime,but it was worth watching.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[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.

$Y'know, for a serious and fairly well done badguy, he gets no respect.

Nah, he does sometimes. He's fought just about everybody, though. Shows he's 
popular.

Overall, short and cute.  Much like Sumomo.

Heh.Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time out to read 
this.
