Okay, so I wanted Quint to be different than most other quints out there.

The main thing here being that this Quint is future Blues instead of future Rock.

"Oh, but why would wily go for Blues instead of Rock?" You may be asking

The simple answer is that he tried to.

Maybe Rock was away with Dr. Light on some business, maybe future wily warned Light in advance to not let Rock out the lab no matter what.

Whatever the reason, Rock was unavailable, and so Blues, being the helpful kid he is, goes to Wily's lab instead, only to realise too late what was going on.

What hurts most is that out of the three, Blues was closest with Wily, The guy became a second dad to him. And his trust was (intentionally or otherwise) shattered.

When being modified, Wily ended up breaking something that now causes Quint to shake uncontrollably, and his eyes are always squiggles now too.

Wily also modified the laws of robotics to only apply to himself so that Quint would be incapable of betraying him.

Oh, and he also forced Quint to destroy everything he ever cared about so he'd have nothing to go back to.

Shit like that is why we hate him, ANYWAY!

So, the general 'wily plot' would carry out as it usually would, Dr. Light and Blues would watch from the lab as usual until Rock and Roll got to the Quint fight when the feed would get cut off.

Quint ends up revealing himself as future Blues during the fight. Shock, horror, and denial (from roll specifically)

From there, Rock tries to convince him to stop, but Quint keeps fighting. He's got no choice, after all.

Until enevotably...

...Quint was taken out.

Rock is understandably upset that he couldn't save Quint, and Roll herself is relatively shaken up by what she did.

As requested, Rock and Roll didn't tell Blues the true identity of Quint.

The most he was told was that he was from the future and that Roll killed him to save Rock.

He hasn't canonically found out yet, and I'm still planning out if he ever will. (He's pretty used to Roll keeping secrets.)

But I do think Rock would tell Dr. Light about Quint in private.

And that's basically it.
