Epilogue: Sigma's Secret

A few days after the X-Hunters had been defeated, we find Dr. Doppler by himself in the laboratory he has set up within the Maverick Hunter HQ. He was looking over the remnants of fallen Mavericks with a look of bliss on his face that could barely be described otherwise, with him saying as he pulled up a chunk of metal "Such a wonderful time this is…I get to work up close and personal with all these interesting pieces of metal from fallen Mavericks, and most importantly of all…"

Doppler turns around and looks at a bucket filled with rather familiar looking parts, spreading his arms out and saying with a happy chuckle "I can start to examine these remnants of Sigma's first body that I plundered from the ocean floor. Now lets see what secrets you've been hiding, Sigma…" Doppler takes a part of Sigma's body from the bucket and brings it over to a scanner he had set up in the corner of the room. The scanner quickly does it's job and goes over Sigma's part, and a three-dimensional wireframe of it appears on the screen beside where Doppler stood.

Doppler examined what the scanned was saying, remarking in an intrigued tone "Fascinating…For being the first Reploid ever made, Cain did quite a fine job putting you together Sigma. Such a shame you wasted your talents on being a Maverick…But what exactly is it that made you go rogue? Lets find out, shall we?" Doppler clicked a tiny button on the side of his glasses to increase the zoom on his vision, looking into the finer details of Sigma's part until he noticed an abnormality within.

Widening his eyes a bit in intrigued surprise, Doppler noticed some odd life form floating around within the part, leading to him saying "Oh? Could it be…? Is this a virus?" Doppler moved forward and examined the virus for a few seconds, squinting for a few seconds before whispering "I feel as though I have seen this before…Hmmm…" Thinking about his situation for a little bit, Doppler then turned around and went for his table, picking up a piece of broken metal with a familiar red tint. This metal, naturally, came from Zero's body during the reconstruction process.

Doppler placed the metal on the scanner and picked Sigma's piece off, and remarked towards his scanner "Run a comparison scan…Identify for any viral life forms." After a few seconds, Zero's part is scanned, leading to a brief sound going off to signify that something had been noticed. Doppler widened his eyes in curious fascination, leading to him lifting Sigma's part in front of his face and saying "Interesting…So Zero's body had small traces of the same virus Sigma carried, only in a weaker form…I wonder, perhaps then, if-"

Before Doppler could finish his sentence, he was suddenly overcome with a jolt of pain inside of his head, one so sharp that it paralyzed his body and made him suddenly drop Sigma's part. A few seconds after that, Doppler begins to tremble, and slowly he lifted his right hand up to the side of his head and stuttered out "W-What's going on here…?! My body…is moving…against it's will…! W-Why?!" As he speaks out his distress, a laugh starts to echo within his head, followed by a familiar voice telling him "I'm afraid you won't be peeking any further into this…Dr. Doppler."

"S-Sigma? H-H-How…? How are you still alive?!" Doppler proclaimed in confusion, followed by Sigma's voice telling him "Hehehe…None of that will matter to you anymore doctor. Resist all you want, but now you shall be under my control…And I cannot wait to use your services to continue my work." Doppler grit his teeth and tried his hardest to resist, groaning in pain as Sigma laughed inside of his mind and stated "Your resistance is great, I must admit…But that will just make it all the more fun to break you. We're going to have a lot of fun for the next few months, Dr. Doppler…Hahahaha….HAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

To be continued…

Author's Note:

Whew, took three months about but it's all over now...At least this one is. Thanks for reading along guys, I'm glad I picked up a good fanbase on this one, and I assure you I don't plan on stopping with just this obviously. Except Maverick Hunter X3 to come out relatively soon...Maybe about two to three weeks as an estimate. I got something I need to finish up first before then. After Maverick Hunter X3 you won't see Maverick Hunter X4 for a while, mostly because I want to focus on other stuff and I want that one to really, REALLY turn out well. Though speaking of X4, expect some elements from that to appear prematurely in Maverick Hunter X3, much like Doppler appeared early for this one.

Other than that, thank you all for reading, and see you later.
