A Week Ago
It was a nice day at Neo-City and it's currently the end of lunch break at the Vanguard Academy. At a sport's court besides the academy, we see a number of students including Eddy Skipper McGee, Scott Wallis, Indigo Zap, Meliodas, Eijiro Kirishima, Ranma Saotome, Chicken, Dawn Medrek, Sayo, Ieyasu, Lubbock, Danny Fenton, Dash Baxter, Rolf Yrmi, Sun Wukong, Donnel, Luna Loud and Alden Cole throwing kickballs at each other.
Alden threw a ball forward, he let's out a laugh when suddenly, a ball hits him on the face, the stomach and the groin, he fell down to the ground twitching in pain and agony.
Suddenly, the bell rang as Lazaris steps forward with a net of balls in hand, "Okay... lunch break is over, balls in.'' she called as Eddy, Scott and Luna threw their balls towards her, "Oof!" she yelped as she fell down on her rear.
Everyone laughs off as they made their way back inside the school with Luna and Sayo dragging the still twitching Alden. Lazaris shook her head, she stood up and began to pick up the balls one by one, Rhodey "Rhode Dogg" Dogglas walks towards her while spinning a ball on his finger, "So, Lazaris...'' he spoke.
"Hi, Rhode Dogg." Lazaris greeted back as she shoves a ball inside the net.
"First day as ball monitor, huh?'' Rhodey pointed out.
"Uh-uh." Lazaris replied as she walks towards space where three balls are at.
"It's pretty good being ball monitor, isn't it?'' Rhodey mused with a smile, "I mean... you get respect as ball monitor, right?'' he asked.
"I... I guess so..." Lazaris replied with a blank look while picking up some balls.
Rhodey spoke again, "You get to go to lunch break early, then staying late to put the balls back in the bag, and best of all, you decide who gets the ball." he stated. "That demands heavy respect, doesn't it?" he pointed out.
Lazaris picks up a ball and thought, "I... I never thought of it that way.'' she admitted as she puts the ball back in the bag.
"Hey... need some help." Rhodey offered.
"Thanks, Rhode Dogg.'' Lazaris replied in gratitude.
And with that, the two carried the bag of balls back in the school when Rhodey spoke, "Well... I figured I get used to carrying this.'' he mused.
Bzzzttt...
A Week Later
As it says, it's a brand new week at Neo-City and of course, Alden is dead by now. It was early morning as the sun shines bright at the Dormitory Village, we go to one dorm and specifically one room that Rhodey has all to himself because no one wants to room with him but he is fine with that. Rhodey woke up and sat up from his bed with a smile, he then got up made his towards a calendar with x-marks, he then marks a space before rubbing his palms with an excited smile.
Bzzzttt...
Later at Vanguard Academy, Rhodey walks across the school grounds with proud smile, he was so excited that he decided be kind to his schoolmates to gain their respect. He would open doors like a doorman, he let Edwin Horace "Ed" Williams answer a bonus question and he even let Sun cut it line at the drinking fountain.
All seems going good for Rhodey... until lunch break arrives.
Later at the start of lunch break, we see several students and a young woman at the sport's court. The young woman has a waist-length red hair and blue eyes, and wears glasses. She wears a white cape with long sleeves over an reddish-orange woolen turtleneck long-sleeve shirt, two black belts strap-crossed around her waist, a thigh-high laced white boots and a large white hat. This is Aty.
Solo Hero and Vanguard Academy Instructor
Aty
Aty claps her hands getting everyone's attention, "Well, everyone, it's a new week... lunch break.'' she announced, "And that could only mean one thing." she said, "Today's Ball Monitor is..." she trails as Rhodey did a curtsey, "... Sun Wukong!" she announced as Sun walls towards the bag of balls.
Rhodey let's out a gasp in shock as Sun holds up the bag, "All right... come and get one!" the monkey-faunus offered.
"But today is my day! I'm the one, it's me!" Rhodey exclaimed.
Aty took notice of his outburst, "Rhode Dogg... is there's something the matter?'' she asked in concern.
Rhodey turns to her, "Yes, I'm this week's ball monitor! I'm the ball monitor, I am, me!" he insisted.
"Actually, Rhode Dogg, Sun is our ball monitor this week." Aty replied, "I had it on my chart back in the classroom." she claimed, "Don't worry... you're turn will come.'' she reassured when she noticed something, "H-Hey! That paint is toxic, please don't eat it.'' she scolded walking off.
Rhodey could only do is stare towards nowhere and unbeknownst to everyone, something inside his mind... snaps!
Bzzzttt...
Later at the cafeteria, we see Jaune Arc throwing a grub towards Ed and Luna's table while laughing at the same time. Meanwhile, we see Rhodey sitting alone at one table with a neutral expression, staring towards nowhere. Ed threw a carrot towards Jaune but it hits Rhodey instead as everyone laughs at him.
Meanwhile, we see Lazaris is seen at one table with Kanonno Grassvalley, Lazaris then noticed Rhodey's unresponsive expression. She then turns to Kanonno whom is eating a sandwich, "Rhode Dogg is acting strange today.'' she pointed out.
"Today? He is strange everyday." Kanonno replied as Lazaris took a sip of her drink from a milk carton.
Meanwhile, Rhodey remains unresponsive as he feels the place is getting is getting bigger in his perspective.
Bzzzttt...
After lunch break, everyone went back to class... except for Rhodey.
Rhodey stood in front of the gym equipment room, he looks around before entering the room and without a minute later, he came out dragging the bag of balls with him.
Rhodey continues to drag the bag of balls across the halls. Then we see Principal Danny Antonucci coming out from his office and saw Rhodey with the bag of balls, "Ball Monitor, this week, huh?" Principal Antonucci mused, "Lots and lots of responsibility." he said before walking off.
Rhodey then looks at the principal's office, he thought about it for a minute before quickly entering the office with the bag of balls as he let's a loud shut on the door.
Principal Antonucci heard this and quickly made his way back at his office, "Son, open this door now!" he demanded as tries to get the door open by shaking the knob, "You're in my office! What exactly do you think you're doing?!" he demanded.
Inside, Rhodey holds the door knob with all his strength, "I am not opening this door, I am not coming out, I am mad as fuck and I am not taking it anymore!" he exclaimed letting go of he knob.
"What are you talking about?'' Principal Antonucci asked.
Rhodey then blocks the door with the bag of balls, "It turns out I'm not the ball monitor this week.'' he replied, "I wanted the responsibility... oh, I could taste it!" he claimed, "And I'm not having a fine day, in fact, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong!" he exclaimed while grabbing the both sides of his head,
Principal Antonucci shakes the door knob again, "I'll say something that is gone wrong! You come out... right now!" he demanded, "Or you'll be facing some unpleasant times, I'm warning you." he warned.
Suddenly, the principal heard a creaking sound, he looks up to see Rhodey peaking his head out from the transom window, "Here's... Rhode Dogg!" Rhodey mused as he threw a ball towards the principal.
The balls hits Antonucci on the head, "Ow!" he yelped in pain.
Inside the office, Rhodey uses a bookshelf to block the door in a tilted position which he uses as a ladder to reach the transom window. "That's one!" he mused as he picks up another ball, "One for me and eight-hundred ninety-nine balls to go!" he exclaimed as he threw the ball out, "Aahahahahahah!" he let's out a diabolical laughter.
And with that, news about Rhodey locking himself inside the principal's office spreads out like wildfire and without a minute later, everyone are seen gathered around in front of the principal's office.
Everyone were muttering to each other wondering what's going on. Jaune the steps forward, "I heard that Rhode Dogg has gone and hold himself inside Principal Antonucci's office with the bag of balls.'' he explained.
Sun then stood next to him, "My bag of balls." he claimed.
"And now, he won't come out." Jaune pointed out.
"Okay, young man, I'm going to count to three.'' Principal Antonucci said, "One... two... three...'' he counted and saw the door knob slightly move, "I knew he'd come to his senses.'' he mused before turning to everyone, "Stand back, everyone, he's coming out." he announced.
However... inside his office, Rhodey climbs up the tilted bookcase with a ball in hand. He then opens the window and threw a ball towards Jaune, hitting him on the face, "Hey! What did you do that for?!" Jaune exclaimed as he rubs his face.
"Get back! Back! I say!" Rhodey demanded as he threw more balls outside as everyone ran for cover.
We see Yang Xiao Long running off as she passes-by Lazaris and Kanonno whom are hiding behind their locker doors and using it as a cover, "You think Rhode Dogg finally snaps?'' Lazaris asked.
"No kidding." Kanonno replied as a hits their locker doors.
Sun then enters the boy's restroom getting Pit, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's attention, "Guys! Rhode Dogg snaps!" he said, "He's doing kick balls at Principal Antonucci's! My kick balls!" he exclaimed.
At one hallway, Yang let's out a laugh, "Hahaha! It's finally happened... our demented Rhode Dogg has gone over the edge.'' she mused while Ruby Rose, Mina Majikina and Carol mutters from behind.
At another hallway, Kazuichi Souda has a look of shock, "Rhode Dogg... snapped? How terrible, terrible, terrible." he muttered in disbelief.
Meanwhile inside the Service Club's room, Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya were reading books when Marcus "The Kane" McGee entered the room, "There's a crazy commotion going on outside Principal Antonucci's office! Let's go!" he said before running off as Yukino and Hachiman looks at each other before standing up.
Back outside Antonucci's office, the principal is currently using a trash can lid like a shield, "Young man! Young man!" he called out while shaking the door knob.
"We call him, Rhode Dogg, Principal Antonucci.'' Jaune pointed out.
"Oh, right... Rhode Dogg!" the principal called out again while shaking the door knob.
Suddenly, Rhodey spoke through the loudspeaker, "Rhodey! The name is Rhodey 'Rhode Dogg' Dogglas to you, Antonucci!" he announced.
"Well, Mister Dogglas, let's talk like civilized human beings.'' Antonucci said, "What is the problem here?'' he asked.
"I'll tell you the problem is... INJUSTICE!" Rhodey yelled, "Day in and day out but the ultimate injustice is what happened today! Today I was denied my scared rights to be this week's ball monitor and I was ready to accept the responsibility but did I get it? No! And why? Because I was slapped down by the woman!" he exclaimed.
Meanwhile at the faculty room, Aty was having conversation with The Engineer when she heard Rhodey's rant from the speaker. Aty gasped as she immediately realized whom he was referring to, "Oh my word... I hope I'm not too late.'' she exclaimed before running out of the faculty room.
Back with everyone, they're currently hearing the sound of a Newton's Cradle over and over until Rhodey spoke again, "For weeks, I've studied the proper ball monitor procedures and etiquette. I awaited my turn, I look forward of getting my shred or respect!" he exclaimed.
"Wow... he really wanted to be ball monitor." Lazaris said in awe.
"I hated being a ball monitor." Kanonno replied, "You have to carry those balls in and out, and then you'll have to collect them all over again when you're done.'' she stated.
Aty then arrives at the scene, "Rhode Dogg, Rhode Dogg! It's me, Aty, speaking.'' she called out. She took a deep breath before speaking, "We all respect you and think you are special." she said with a smile, "Why don't you open the door and-" she tried to say but was interrupted when Rhodey peeks his head out from the window.
"Save your new age-isms for the saps, granola girl!" Rhodey exclaimed before throwing at Aty which hits her on the head.
"Ow!" Aty yelped in pain.
Antonucci then placed a hand on her shoulders, "I'll handle this, Miss Aty, this boy is obviously disturbed." he claimed, "I'm gonna run over the door, grab the kid, give him a headlock and..." he tried to say but was calmly interrupted by Aty.
"Please, Principal Antonucci, he needs sensitivity.'' Aty pointed out, "Now... more than ever." she added, "Please... let me reason with him.'' she plead.
"Reason with me?'' Rhodey mocked as he began to throw balls again as everyone ran for cover, "Why should I hear reasons from the likes of you? I'm too smart for your executive games!" he exclaimed going back inside the office.
Antonucci gave Aty a blank look, "Nice job, Miss Sensitive." he said sarcastically.
"Now please give me time and we'll talk things out." Aty replied as she walks towards the door, "Rhode Dogg, what happened here? And why are you in Principal Antonucci's office with all of the school's kick balls?'' she asked.
"Why? You should know of all people, Aty?!" Rhodey replied, "For weeks, I marked of the days of my calendar, one by one, till today... the day where I will be finally appointed as the ball monitor." he said, "I opened the doors of this school and everyone then walks then past me just assuming I was the doorman!" he complained.
"Well... he was just standing there... so I went in." Jaune said towards Ed and Sun.
"Then later at class, Ed answered the bonus question I was about to answer, Ed STOLE the question from me, another injustice!" Rhodey exclaimed.
"Nuh-uh! Rhode Dogg let Ed answer that question!" Ed argued.
"Rhode Dogg, you let Ed answer that question." Aty pointed out.
"And then Sun took my place at the drinking fountain and is rewarded by the system of getting my job of Ball Monitor!" Rhodey complained.
Sun the spoke, "Rhode Dogg... I got an idea." he claimed as he approaches the door, "Why don't you take over as ball monitor.'' he offered, "I can do it next week.'' he said.
Rhodey then peeks his head out from the window, "I don't want your ball monitor week, I wanted my own!" he demanded as he threw more kick balls as everyone ran for cover.
Antonucci held up the trash can lid over himself and Aty, "Okay, you!" the principal spoke, "You're running out of time and I'm running out of patience!" he exclaimed. "What are your demands?'' he asked.
"My demands? Okay... I'll tell you my demands!" Rhodey replied, "I want two Wahoo Sodas and uh... and a meatball sub." he requested, "And I wanted them deliver by someone I could trust... last week's ball monitor, Lazaris." he said.
"M-Me?!" Lazaris exclaimed in shock.
"Congratulations." Kanonno said.
"Waahahahahaha!" Rhodey laughs through the loudspeaker, "I got 800 more kick balls in here and I'm not afraid to use it!" he exclaimed as he threw more kick balls as everyone ran for cover.
And with that, Lazaris immediately went towards the cafeteria and not a minute later, she returns with a tray of meatball sub and two bottles of Wahoo Soda.
"Nice job, Lazaris." Kanonno praised from behind the locker door.
Lazaris then arrives in front of the office as Antonucci turns to her, "Okay... once you get him to open that door, we'll rush in and grab him." he whispered.
"Don't you think we should talk to him?'' Lazaris pointed out.
"We're doing my plan, that's what we're going to do and not your talking plan." Antonucci replied.
Aty then spoke, "Sir, please, let her try.'' she said, "Remember, sensitivity.'' she reminded.
"Look... we're dealing with a very dangerous element here." Antonucci pointed out.
"It's just Rhode Dogg, Principal Antonucci." Lazaris exclaimed as Pit stood next to her, "And they're just kick balls, they're not dangerous." she claimed when a suddenly a ball was thrown towards Pit, hitting him square on the face. "Rhode Dogg, I got the Wahoo and the meatball sub.'' she called out, "Open the door and I'll give them to you.'' she said.
Rhodey peeks his head out, "You think I'm an idiot?!" he exclaimed, "You probably got some plan." he accused.
"No, Rhode Dogg, I just got what you wanted... open the door." Lazaris reasoned.
"Okay... but first... everyone back away... get back! Move it people!" Rhodey demanded as everyone did so, he then glares at Lazaris, "You wouldn't dare double cross me, won't you?'' he accused.
"N-no..." Lazaris replied nervously.
"Okay, Laz, come in." Rhodey replied. He opens the door and immediately grabs Lazaris' arms and pulls her inside as the door was closed shut.
"Holy fuck! Now we've got ourselves a hostage situation!" Jaune exclaimed.
Inside, Rhodey is seen sitting on Antonucci's chair with his feet on the table and soda in hand, "Wahoo... ain't nothing to it but to do it." he said before drinking.
"Rhode Dogg, why are you doing this?" Lazaris asked.
Rhodey stops drinking, "Because I was suppose to be ball monitor." he replied getting off the chair, "I can show you my calendar." he claimed.
"Look... if you really think you're suppose to be the ball monitor, you should have talk to Miss Aty about it." Lazaris reasoned as Rhodey stares at her in realization. A minute later, Lazaris peeks her head out from the window, "We need to talk to Miss Aty.'' she called out as Aty and Antonucci looks at each other.
A minute later, Aty is seen inside the office while checking a chart in front of Rhodey and Lazaris, "Let's see here... here's Ed... Pit... Regan... Shana..." she listed before letting out a gasp, "Oh... I see now, I lost you!" she confessed, "Look... the week of the holidays, I didn't carry on the week of the twelve.'' she stated, "Rhode Dogg, you we're right and I was wrong, you were suppose to be the ball monitor this week." she admitted.
Rhodey then looks at the chart, "I knew it! I knew it!" he said triumphantly.
"Great... let's get out of here." Lazaris suggested.
"Oh no." Rhodey replied, "Not until we had a deal in place." he demanded as he leans on the chair, "We need Sun.'' he claimed.
And so, Lazaris peeks her head out from the window, "We need Sun.'' she called out.
A minute later, Sun is seen inside the office facing Rhodey, "How about you take over tomorrow, do the rest of the week and the next Monday." Sun suggested, "Then I'll take over the rest of next week." he said.
"Nah... too messy." Rhodey replied rejecting the idea.
Lazaris then spoke, "How about you just let Sun finished out this week and start yours next week." she suggested.
Aty turns to Rhode Dogg, "Rhode Dogg?'' she asked.
Rhodey thought about it, "Hmm... well... we'll have to hammer out the details but okay." he agreed as he and Sun shook hands.
Lazaris and Sun then shook hands as Aty and Rhodey shook hands, "Rhode Dogg, I'm very proud of you that you agreed with this very reasonable agreement.'' she said, "Now let's go back to class, shall we?" she suggested.
And with that, Aty, Lazaris and Sun came out of the office with the monkey-faunus dragging out the bag of balls, "What happened?'' Ed asked.
"Any bloodshed?" Katsuki Bakugo asked.
"Absolutely not." Aty replied, "We solved the problem in a very peaceful way." she said as Rhodey walks out of the office with a thumbs-up. Everyone then let's out a cheer, "And I think we learned a valuable lesson today." she claimed.
"Yup... we learned that Rhodey is a psychopath whom will go bonkers and would holed up inside the principal's office." Yang mused.
Aty claps her hand, "Now, come on class, we still have enough time for me to teach all of you how not to summon a demon lord." she claimed as she and everyone made their way back to class.
Rhodey was about to follow them when he heard a voice, "Okay, you two, take him away." the voice ordered. Suddenly, Cornelius Fillmore and Ingrid Third grabs Rhodey and began to drag him away with Principal Antonucci following them, "Hey! Where are you taking me? I thought we figure this out!" he exclaimed, "Remember, Principal Antonucci, sensitivity!" he reminded.
"Ha! I'll give you sensitivity, I'll give you a week sense of sensitivity, everyday after school." Antonucci exclaimed as they all enters the detention room.
"Hey! Am I suppose to be in detention? No! I don't want to be in detention! Come on, I'm the Ball Monitor!" Rhodey cried, "Arf! Arf! Arf!" he barked.
