I do not own H.I.V.E. Enjoy, and make sure you review!
Also, this will probably be quite short (4 chapters or so). :)
Otto and Wing were lying on their bunk beds when Otto's Blackbox started to beep. He flipped open the cover. "Hello Otto," said the calm face of HIVEmind. "Breakfast will be served in 15 minutes. Your first lesson is Villainy Studies with Dr. Nero. Is there anything else?"
"No thank you, HIVEmind." replied Otto, snapping the Blackbox shut.
At breakfast, Franz was not happy. "I do not think this is being a good idea, ja?"
"I agree. Don't you think this is over-reacting, Otto?" asked Wing, frowning.
"What tall, dark and handsome here means," said Shelby "is that your idea is great!"
"Aye, I agree," agreed Laura. "This will definitely work."
Otto had suggested to them a few minutes earlier a complex plan to depose Dr. Nero and take over H.I.V.E. Ironically, Dr. Nero walked by, completely oblivious to the comments which had been made earlier. "Come on, Malpense, Fanchu, Brand, Trinity and Argentblum! You have a lesson with me in 2 minutes!" he barked. With that, the five of them walked off to Villainy Studies.
"Hi guys! I just came back from the hydroponics lab-" started Nigel. He stopped when he realised that the table was now empty.
"So, as you can see, Robert Johnson was able to effectively monopolise the bookstore business by shipping books to his competitors as 'gifts' that were printed in poisoned ink." explained Dr. Nero. Otto's hand shot up. "You have something to add, Mr. Malpense?" asked Dr. Nero, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, Dr. Nero. Mr. Johnson doesn't exist."
"How dare you!" began the teacher. "I got this information directly from HIVEmind's lesson plan system!"
"HIVEmind," said Otto, casually flipping his Blackbox open. "What do you know about Robert Johnson?"
"Otto, Mr. Robert Johnson doesn't exist." replied the confused blue face of HIVEmind.
Dr. Nero looked angry and confused. "Oh." he said. "I think this would be a good point to stop. Class dismissed."
Dr. Nero sat at his desk, rubbing his eyes. He was sure that those lesson plans were accurate, and yet the morning's performance seemed to make him have doubts. Raven entered the room, clutching a Blackbox. "Max," she said. "Your Blackbox has been beeping for the last ten minutes."
"Thank you, Natalya." he grumbled, flipping open the Blackbox. "What is it HIVEmind?"
"Dr. Nero, there is a medical emergency. Fifteen students have been shot - they're in the infirmary now."
"Oh my god!" cried Nero, rushing for the infirmary.
"Is there a problem, sir?" asked the chief medical officer when Dr. Nero entered the infirmary.
"Where are the injured students?"
"Injured students, sir? What do you mean?" asked the chief medical officer, a look of confusion on his face.
Nero flipped his Blackbox open. "HIVEmind, where are the students that have been shot?" he asked.
"Dr. Nero," said HIVEmind. "There are no students that have been shot."
Dr. Nero was shocked. Time to see Professor Pike.
