A/N: Okay, this is my major project next to Electrical Communication...and I mean major. 7 parts, 7-9 chapters each, each part in a different Robot Master's POV... @@;; I've been told it's good, but I'm not convinced. oO;; I think it's crap -- just like I think everything I write is crap. Anyway, this is the first part. And it's almost finished. Just has 2 more chapters to go. And unfortunately, FF.net doesn't allow font colors anymore, so you'll have to make do with different symbols where the colors were supposed to be. ;;; The easier-to-read (in my opinion) version with different colors instead of symbols is on my homepage. At any rate, let me know what you think. @@;; This is my baby...my very first venture into the Robot Master world and where I developed my love for them.
They call themselves Robot Masters...HA! They don't know the half of it. They're just toys, mindless drones like those in a beehive who can't do a single thing for themselves. They don't know anything except how to obey. They only know how to take the orders of Dr. Wily. Robot Masters...the king of oxymorons.
But six of us...oh, no. Six of us are more than those mindless drones. We are like that pathetic excuse of a robot, Rockman. We can think for ourselves. We can make our own choices. We don't have to obey Wily; and we don't unless we're interested in the job. He doesn't know what we are. We are accidents in creation. Even Dr. Light does not know what we are.
We are the Kaisers.
We, the Kaisers, are like Rockman; we are alive. We can breathe, think for ourselves, feel pain and other emotions, and sleep. With this comes the ability to control the other so-called Robot Masters. However, I seem to be the only one who can control all of them -- or nearly all. The newer the army, the harder it is to control them. And forget about controlling the other Kaisers. They can only control those in their own army -- the fourth Kaiser can only control the fourth army, the sixth can only control the sixth, and so forth. But I can control almost all of them.
I never did figure out how or why the Kaisers stopped surfacing after the sixth army was created. Nonetheless, seven would probably be too great a number of us running around. The six of us get along quite well, though...
The rookie, the Kaiser of the sixth army, and also the weakest Kaiser so far is Centaur Man. Brave, noble Centaur Man...he considers the other five of us his "herd". He would do anything to help us and would take missions that aren't really meant for his agile build if one of us does not feel up to the mission or would rather not obey Wily. Poor, loyal Centaur Man...when will you see that your compassion is your weakness?
The Kaiser of the fifth army is Crystal Man. Most believe he is too odd to be of any use whatsoever to Wily's forces. In reality, his concept of life is perfect for a Kaiser. I'm surprised that it took this long for me to realize it and adapt to it. He is like a gypsy, interested in tarot cards, incense, astrology, runes, and will not stop at anything until he learns how to read the future in a crystal ball. I look up to him for his mellow outlook on life.
From the fourth army came the Kaiser, Ring Man. He is a thief, an illusionist, and a salesman all rolled up into one, strong robot. The combination proves to be rather annoying sometimes, but he is good at his professions. His illusions have often confused even the brightest of robots such as Rockman and Blues. A competent fighter and a master illusionist, but not a very strong Kaiser. He can barely control his own army when necessary.
The third army came with the Kaiser, Magnet Man. A ruthless, sometimes trigger-happy fighter and one of the stronger Kaisers simply because his fighting style is, indeed, so brutal. He never looks before he leaps, however, which is a downfall to such a skilled warrior. Quiet and always one to hold a grudge, I'm never quite sure whether he should be considered the third strongest of us or not.
The Kaiser of the second army is Metal Man. Ah, Metal Man...the second strongest of us. Ruthless to a point and also loyal, but not to the ridiculous point of Centaur Man's exhibition. Metal Man can control almost all of the Robot Masters, but does not control them to the point of complete domination. He only controls them when he sees it is necessary. I look up to him like I have never looked up to anyone before. He's strategic, powerful, and a very competent warrior. The only downfall is his weakness to his own weapon. How...ironic...
And I am the Kaiser from the first army, the Kaiser of all of the Robot Masters, and I pride myself with the knowledge that I am the only Kaiser who can even remotely control Forte...
I am Elec Man.
I have been a Kaiser ever since Dr. Light first created me. Since before Dr. Wily reprogrammed me. And I always will be a Kaiser. But I can't help but wonder when my control will end. The tenth or eleventh army perhaps? The eighth is already so unruly and hard to maintain control over...
No matter. The time is coming to create a mutiny against Dr. Wily; I have seven armies under my control; forty-nine Robot Masters and five other Kaisers to back me up. And, unlike the others, we -- the Kaisers -- don't have that pathetic loyalty to Wily. We can kill him in a heartbeat. And with forty-nine robots at our command...
Dr. Wily will stand the same chance as a snowball in Hell, and I can return to my true home...
However...enough with my rambling. I have started this to recall upon my "meeting" with the other Kaisers. This may be the only way I can tell Dr. Light what really happened and I want him to know that not all of us were fully under Dr. Wily's control and that not all of us believed in his cause just in case our mutiny doesn't go as I hope it will.
How morbid.
