Chapter 4: Unfortunate events
It was time for Algebra, the second greatest threat to mankind. Most of the students were suffering from its powerful effects, but luckily for Weiss, she was like a successful, brainwashed version of them. She answered each one of the questions right and kept her mind focus, nothing was going to stop her. Unfortunately, someone decided to have a bit of fun.
A ball of paper hit her face then dropped on her desk, so she opened it to see what the rest of it said.
'Riddle me this.' It said with green colors and question marks all over, 'What has white hair, a large brain, and doesn't deserve to fall in love with Neptune?' The Schnee girl turned her head to the room, looking for the one responsible for this message. There was Neo, and she waved to her.
Weiss decided to ignore her and continue working, but another ball hit her face which made her lose focus. Neo watched her and thought of another way to ruin her day, this plan would most likely irritate her enemy.
As Weiss kept an eye on her math worksheet, she wasn't aware of the ice cream-named girl moving closer. To start her hijinks, Neo took out a paint brush and smeared it over the first question on the worksheet.
"Hey!" She said in silent anger, "Why did you do that?" Neo just shrugged uncaringly while her free hand attached a device under the table. "Go back to your seat and finish your worksheet you freak, and stop bothering me."
Weiss was ignored and taunted again, and Neo painted all over the Schnee's face with her paintbrush. Weiss grabbed the brush and threw it behind her, hitting a bystander student in the face. "Just get back to your seat, and I won't tell the teacher."
The rival's unseen hand only tapped the device a few times and then backed away one step. Weiss took out a handkerchief and wiped off her entire face of paint, then tried to rewrite the answers. 'Why is this imbecile doing this to me?!' She thought to herself, 'My reputation of perfect grades must not be tarnished by any acts of stupidity.'
Once again, something distracted her. A beeping sound was heard from under the table, causing her to shake her fist in anger and look under the desk.
Unfortunately, it was a bomb and there wasn't any time to react as it exploded in her face. The explosion, however, wasn't harmful as it was just a stun device that blinded her momentarily and gave time for Neo to do whatever she planned to do.
She swapped the worksheet with a regular paper, then put a heart sticker on it to act like she was motivating her. As the light cleared out for Weiss and some other students, she looked over at Neo and was close to telling her to Ozpin, the ice cream girl only smiled.
Schnee checked the table again to make sure nothing else was filled with traps, but she quickly saw the paper with a sticker and took her rage on it by ripping it to pieces. 'Neo, you'll pay for this!'
Neo kept smiling, satisfied that she made fun of her enemy, and had the worksheet in her grasp and also wrote her name over Weiss'.
Lunch time was not until sixth period and before that was Gym class, a dangerous class to take if it involves dodgeballs or weight-lifting equipment. Junior was the coach and he was not going to joke around with all of these guys.
The students weren't happy with this, because there was rumors about ten sophomores who died in this same gym.
All the students were dressed in their gym uniform that were school appropriate, although one could argue that they were wanting to not show much fan service as this school was trying to prevent anything of that nature.
"Welcome boys and girls to Gym class, where you will be trained to be the strongest students in the world," The coach explained, "Starting today, you'll undertake the most competitive sports of this generation, and I can assure you, you might not survive."
'I'm definitely gonna die then, aren't I.' Nicolas thought to himself.
"For today, your first sport will be dodgeball!" Junior got out a red ball that somehow got in this scene, "The rules are simple, don't get hit or you will be eliminated."
"Oh yeah, this is gonna be fun!" Yang shouted in joy.
"Let's get to it then." Dove said, the entire group of students was split up into two teams.
Yang was the captain of her team with Ruby, Penny, Nicolas, Coco and Dove, while Mercury was the leader of the opposing side, and was allied with Emerald, Blake, Jaune, Yatsuhashi and Pyrrha. Both of them stood on opposite sides of the court and only three balls were at the middle.
"Ready..." Junior had a whistle in his hands and he blew on it to signal the start of the match. Yang, Ruby, and Coco already charged in to get the objects, and Mercury, Blake and Pyrrha did the same. Only Rose could get one of them while the Nikos and Black snatched the other two and backed away to launch the balls.
Pyrrha threw hers first and then Blake did the same, the Xiao Long team dodged the two incoming projectiles and Nicolas got one of them so that he could launch it at someone.
The ball missed and was picked up by Jaune, who threw it and the ball was unable to gain a target, and Pyrrha used hers to hit a single enemy. Luckily it hit Dove in the face, knocking him out of the game.
"Score one for Team-" Mercury ducked down when a ball nearly touched his grey hair and finished his sentence, "Mercury!" Then picked up another one and send it towards the opposing side.
"Take this!" Coco fired back, nearly striking Emerald's face. She already used the ball to hit the beret-wearing girl, but she caught it and this eliminated Sustrai, "Hell yeah!"
"You'll pay for that in the next round Adel!" The thief walked away to the bleachers.
Blake was dodging the balls and Nicolas was targeting her, but not as a hostile. His face was blushing and he somehow ducked down from everything that was thrown at him.
"Hey Nic, stop avoiding hits and get someone!" Yang shouted while letting a ball fly to the side of evil and try to take down someone.
"Okay!" Clodfelter picked up a ball and it soared all across the room, hitting the wall and then striking down Yang. "Sorry!"
"Dammit, you'll regret that Nicolas!" Yang walked away with her fist shaking in anger.
"It was an accident!" He ducked again and moved to the side of the field to avoid Yatsuhasi's' sight. Remembering that he blocked his view earlier, he wanted to take him down.
Grabbing another ball, Nic threw it and it missed again. "Dammit!"
"Time to show them what I'm made of!" Jaune backed up and hurled a ball at Penny, but she instantly caught it with one hand. "Oh come on!"
"Awesome catch Penny!" Ruby cheered for her robotic friend while avoiding an attack from Pyrrha.
Nikos' strike wasn't able to hit anyone, but she stayed on her toes as Coco launched her ball towards the opponent. She moved away as the projectile bounced off the bleachers and to the floor where Blake snatched it and continued the fight.
Belladonna threw the ball and it almost took down Coco, but gave Penny the advantage as she launched the projectile too fast for anyone to react to, hitting the faunus head on.
Now that the teams were even, one hit could outmatch the other to win the round. Daichi remained as the prime target for the Xiao Long team, so Ruby threw her ball and while it didn't strike him down, it instead hit Jaune's face flat on. "Ow!"
"Sorry!" The odds of winning were diminishing from Team Mercury's grasps, so in order to reclaim it, Pyrrha launched a ball towards Coco and she ducked down to prepare her strike against her. Picking up one of the spare balls on the floor, she threw it and unfortunately the ball was caught by Yatsuhashi.
"Fuck!" She cursed again, then left the stage as the fight continued. Mercury kicked his ball forward and the ball slammed the end of the wall to the opposite side, nearly gaining a hit. As it zoomed past her head, Ruby picked up another similar projectile and threw it to the leader, taking him down at the chest.
"Hah, take that Mercury-" As Ruby gloated her small victory, she was hit by Daichi's ball.
"Ruby!" Penny shouted with a shocked expression, then another ball slammed into her face thanks to Pyrrha's accurate aim.
"I'm sorry!" She apologized. Now that those two were taken care of, the last man standing on the Xiao Long team was Nicolas.
He said, "This is the part where you kick my ass in about three seconds, right-" A ball hitting his face answered the question, and Team Mercury has won the first round.
"Yeah!" His team cheered while the other just started giving them the dagger eyes.
Yang walked towards the grey haired leader and said, "Don't start celebrating yet Mr. Black, because in round 2, we'll be the ones that will kick your ass!"
"I'd like to see you try that Xiao Long." taunted the villainous Mercury, "Our teammates are more superior to yours."
"Oh yeah, well our team has more manpower than your tall friend over there."
"I do not wish to be offended." Daichi just said, the two ignored him and then parted ways again.
While she walked away, Penny was feeling calm about the sport, but unfortunately she forgot all about her conscious inside her. "Hey, did you forget about me again?" Ultron said.
"No, no, please don't do this." The android was again worried and she backed away from the court.
'Sorry, but it's time for my introduction!' Without warning, Penny was suddenly stiff frozen and then a small screen appeared in front of her. It was a loading screen and it said, "Preparing Ultron mode."
The rest of the class notice this and step in front of the android to see what was up with her all of a sudden. "Oh no, not again." Ruby muttered, but Nic heard this.
"Wait, so this isn't the first time this happened?" He asked her.
"Well the loading screen is new, just to keep this story whimsical I guess." Rose replied, "But this thing is common unfortunately. Several months ago, there was an attack caused by this A.I known as Ultron, and the Avengers were able to stop him from destroying us, but in doing so unintentionally allowed him to run rampant until he found Penny. And ever since then, he's been living inside her to prepare for his revenge."
"Wait, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Nicolas shouted in rage, "So was the author like, 'You know what's a good idea, Penny and Ultron! Everyone's doing it so I should do it too!' Or something like that?!"
"Uh, Kind of…" Ruby had an expression of slight confusion, "They are related to each other in many ways, so yeah…"
"What's going on here?" Coach Junior said and walked over to the students and the android which was still loading itself. "You're supposed to throw balls at each other, not worry about whatever's going on here."
"Coach, you might want to stand back. She's gonna go on a killing spree-" Ruby's warning was left ignored as Junior looked at Penny's state of stiffness.
"Penny, you can start moving now, there's no need to load your WhyPhy power."
"But the screen says it's Ultron!"
"Well, our WhyPhy system is called Ultron, so it's not necessary for her to try and establish our connection."
Once Junior was done talking, the loading screen had reached 100% and it disappeared. Penny was suddenly moving again, but the big difference was that her eyes were turning blood red, and her face cracked a smile on it.
"This is bad isn't it?" Jaune said, backing up alongside Nicolas.
"Oh good, now you're finished," Junior told the robot when he saw the screen disappear, "Now let's get back to the real fun-" Penny punched the Coach in a quick motion and sent him flying all across the room until he crashed on the wall.
Everyone turned to the brainwashed machine as her body began to change its' armor, replacing the skin-like features with Adamantium/Vibranium and a chuckle was heard, replacing her cheery voice with a James Spader-like voice. "I'm back."
"Uh welcome back...Ultron." Nic was already worrying too much since an evil robot invading the school was not what he intended to see, "How does it feel to live inside Penny?"
"Oh it's great, she's…" The robot stopped itself, "Wait, you're just trying to distract me from my mission!"
"No, he just wants an autograph." Ruby cut in between the two, then moved closer to Penny, "Anyway, whatever you're going to do, don't do it! My friends don't need to suffer any pain!"
"They're just getting in my way, I'll take care of them, and then our creators afterwards."
"But they're-"
"Penny, or Ultron...I think, we're not the bad guys," Yang said, "Well except for Roman sometimes, but there's no need for any of this, so why don't you just change back to your happy place and we'll-"
Penny/Ultron thrust her hand forward to use the concussion blasts to hit the blonde student and make her crash on the wall. "Okay, then we'll just have to do it ourselves then." This immediately cued a fight scene.
The android started flying and slammed herself against Mercury and threw him on the ground leaving a small crater on the wooden floor. The Ultron-controlled robot fired out another blast and the students avoided the attack.
Jaune got out his shield (which somehow appeared in this scene) and blocked another blast, but unfortunately was the next target as Penny landed in front of him and threw the defense weapon away from his grasp.
"Wait wait!" Arc's pleas were disregarded and he was thrown at the end of the room. "AAAAAHHHH!" Planning a perfect shot, Ultron fired another blast, but Pyrrha jumped in the air and saved Jaune with her shield.
Once she landed on the ground, her hands gripped her Xiphos and ran to the enemy. She swung her weapon and hit the android, she backed up and tried to land a punch on Nikos. She used her Magneto semblance to moved it from her face then she repeated the same thing again when Ultron tried to land an uppercut.
Deciding to change her strategy, she used her Anti-gravity powers to take a large piece of the wall behind her and thrust it at Pyrrha. She used her shield to block the huge concrete block, and was pushed to the next wall where she created a small crater with her back.
"Wait, how did we get weapons?" Nicolas shouted as Ultron kept attacking everyone, "And why don't I have one yet?"
"We don't know, anything can happen in this story!" Emerald shouted and used her dual guns to hit the Ultron-ized Penny, but she slammed her foot down at her face and backflipped. Yatsuhashi swung down his giant sword at her, and she used her arm to block the hit, making a dent on the armor.
Penny suddenly had her multiple flying swords coming out of her back and then brought all of them upwards to hit the tall freshmen, then punched his chest and face. The next attacker was Coco who had her minigun out.
"Taste bullets you son of a bitch!" She laughed as the gun fired a trail of bullets to the android, but she used the Anti-gravity powers again to raise the ground below her and leave her off guard then spun her swords in a circle and threw it at Adel, launching her up the air.
Ruby used her semblance to ran towards her Ultron-ized friend, and was able to stop in front of her. "Penny, you have to stop this!" She shouted to her, "You don't have to do this!"
"Of course I do, I'm just getting closer to my revenge, and no one, not even Stark will be able to stop me!"
"Except last time, when he kicked your shiny-!" Nicolas taunted and was hit by a blast, "OW my face!"
"Look, Hurting my friends isn't going to accomplish anything!" Rose shook her fists, "You can do your revenge plans another time, but you can't do it here!"
"Of course I am, this is the school of insanity and unexplainable explanations, so I'm gonna give these guys what they need." Penny stepped around her friend, and saw Blake and Junior charging in to attack but the swords came in and swung themselves to take the two down.
"Stop it Penny!" Ruby said again, "You can't hurt my friends, but if you're going to do so then lay a scratch on me!"
"I can't do that Ruby, you're Penny's friend, and she wants you to be safe with her."
"Then she wouldn't want this to happen, you're just seizing control of my friend's body. You might be a deadly A.I. hellbent on killing people, but you're living inside the soul of a special person."
"She is my best friend, and you're now a part of her. Please...just let Penny have control again...do it for me. Please."
Ultron looked at Ruby, and then backed up. "Sure...But I'm gonna come back and soon the Avengers will die."
"Well they have the Vision, so you can't-" Clodfelter shouted again before he was hit by a large rock. "OW my back!"
"Okay, I'll return soon." Penny froze again and a loading screen appeared once again, which said, "Preparing Penny mode." And after three seconds, it was done. All the Adamantium/Vibranium armor was gone and Penny was back to her normal self. "R-Ruby?"
"Welcome back Penny." Ruby wrapped her arms around the android and pulled her into a long hug.
"I'm sorry Ruby, I didn't want this to happen again."
"Don't worry Penny, I forgive you."
"BUT I DON'T!" That was Coach Junior, he was bruised and very mad, "Penny Polendina and Ultron...Ultron, you're coming to the Headmaster's office!" He grabbed the android's hand and pulled her away.
"Wait!" Ruby stopped in front of the Coach and said, "If you're gonna take her there, then I'm gonna go with you."
"Okay Miss Rose, but only because you insisted." Junior started walking to the door again while Rose followed along, leaving the room in its ruined state.
Penny turned to her friend, "Ruby, why are you doing this?"
"Because we're friends, and we're going to go through this together!" Rose smiled.
The android smiled as well and said, "Thank you."
Back in the Gym room, everyone was just lying on the floor, Nicolas was flat on his face and was next to Yang.
"This is going to be the best time of our lives!" She shouted with a fist bump in the air.
"Oh yeah, it's definitely going to be." Nicolas said, then fell unconscious for the rest of the class.
To be continued...
