Canterlot Tech University

1 Week After CircoVison Robbery

"Aw Man, this is gonna be so awesome!" Flash beamed.

Micro Chips rolled his eyes, "Yeah...Flashing Lights and Radioactivity is gonna be real fun."

Flash glared at Micro Chips, giving him the finger. "Hey, you know what. This is gonna be real fun! I mean it's not every day you get to see stuff like this." Micro Chips was about to open his mouth to speak. But Flash beat him to it, realizing the mistake in that sentence, "Okay, maybe except you!"

Micro Chips chuckled, "Whatever you say, Chief.

The Bus had finally pulled up onto Campus. Upon the stop, the teacher, a male in a casual clad of a blazer, slacks and loafers. Promptly got up and gave the class some orders. "Alright Everyone, I know this may sound redundant. But be on you're best behaviour. No funny business, alright?"

With the message out there, the rest of the class promptly got up. They all were in a line, getting out one by one.

Just as Flash got up, a certain redhead and her spectacled friend had done the same. Standing right in front of the Flash and the latter.

"Oh..." Flash widened his eyes, not expecting Sunset Shimmer to have even been in the spot she was. Why he cared at all you may be asking? Well, I think we all know, but even so, he managed to keep quiet.

The line was moving at the pace you'd expect:

Normal...

But things promptly got worse. Specifically, for Flash. Just as he took his next step, tragedy struck as he stepped on his untied shoelace. Something he hadn't even noticed beforehand. His eyes widened as he began to fell forward, promptly letting out a yelp. And to make matters worst, Poor Sunset got caught in the crossfire. Sunset gasped, feeling the unexpected force push her down as well. As the two both fell forward.

By then, Twilight had moved forward so she managed to evade the whole thing. But she had heard the gasp made by her friend, accompanied by Flash's yelp. Prompting her to turn around.

The pair fell onto the floor of the bus, not dropping anything in the process luckily. But still, it made for a pretty laughable scene...

At Flash's expense of course

Flash widened his eyes to realize what he had just done, staggering to his feet. "OH MY GOD! I am so sorry!"

Sunset though merely chuckled, not at all mad by the whole thing. She got to her feet, scratching the back of her head. "It's fine." She turned around to look at Flash, immediately seeing his untied right shoe, "Heh, you should probably tie that." She promptly walked off, unphased at what had just happened.

Flash's cheeks flushed red, completely embarrassed by the whole situation. Looking down at his own feet. Promptly slapping his hand over his forehead.

Meanwhile, Micro Chips and Sandalwood looked like they were about to piss their pants at the scene. Trying for the life of them to contain their laughter.

Flash heard it as he painstakingly progressed through the Bus. Looking over his shoulder to scowl at his friends. "OH SHU--"

They completely lost it. The two burst out into a fit of laughter regarding the even that had transpired, only making Flash more annoyed. Even when they got off the bus, the laughter was still very much present.

Flash grumbled, turning to look back at his friends once more. "ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I tripped and fell, big deal!"

However, that didn't even do as much as phase the two as they were too incoherent to let a word out. Flash grit his teeth to that, rolling his eyes and walking off. Catching up with the rest of the class, with the latter following soon after.

The three caught up with the rest of the class. Where they stood in front of a University Professor, a tall and lanky man with grey hair with two white streaks on each side. However, what really was unique about him wasn't his physical appearance. It was rather, the alteration...

On his back appeared to be four "robotic tentacles". Clearly, man-made limbs that were squirming and what not. A few students couldn't help but crack a few quiet laughs.

However, Flash knew who the man was. And he knew what those "tentacles" were all about. "Professor Discord. Man, dad always told me about how he won a Nobel prize for those arms. But damn, those things look a lot cooler in person!

Professor Discord let out a relaxed sigh. Speaking in a nonchalant tone. "Hello, their students. I am Professor Discord. And welcome to Canterlot Tech University." They all wasted no time, progressing forward. Following the "Octopus" man as some of the students would put it right now. "As you all know by now, you are here to watch a demonstration of Radioactive Energy in order to broaden your idea of Radioactivity and it's fundamentals."

They entered a Lab Facility. Where the demonstration was to take place. Inside, the students were greeted with the scene of many students and other teachers working on their own sperate projects. Watching the different interactions and conversations that were taking place.

However, just as the students were walking, they were then met with a pretty startling situation. "CODE 754! I REPEAT CODE 754!"

The visitors along with Professor Discord all turned their heads in the direction of the sound, seeing a group of scientists running all over the place. Looking pretty freaked out over something.

Professor Discord quirked his eyebrow to that. Seeing a scientist run up to him and the rest of the class. It prompted opening his mouth to speak. "Does there seem to be a problem?"

"Sir!" The scientist addressed firmly. "We have a Code 754 on our hands!"

The class teacher quirked his eyebrow, speaking up about that. "What's Code 754?"

Discord merely waved his hand. Explaining it in the most collective tone possible. "Oh, it's nothing too serious. It's just a protocol code for when something's escaped and gone missing!"

And if that wasn't what took the piss out of all those kids...

The whole class, teacher included. Gasped in complete shock in light of that revelation. Prompting a chuckle out of the Professor. Thereafter, clearing it all up. "Do not fret students, we don't have a monster on the loose. It's most likely just a lab rat or something. It's something that happens almost every week."

"Actually sir, it's one of our spi--"

"Everybody gets a move on now. We don't want to be late." Professor Discord interjected. Gesturing the class to progress forward ahead of him. When the last of the kids had passed through, Discord's tone had changed. He turned to scowl at the scientist, looking a little more intimidating. "Get on it!" he hissed.

The class had walked a decent distance before finally reaching their destination. A theatre with comfy-looking seating, facing an interesting looking machine.

The Class promptly walked inside, progressing far down the aisle of the first row seats. Before they all promptly seated themselves.

Flash, Micro Chips and Sandalwood had all found some open seats in the second row. Plopping down on them and getting comfy. And just above the three...

A Spider. A Unique looking one might I add. Bearing a very unusual Blue and Red colour. It hung on the thread of a webbing.

Professor Discord walked onto the stage, standing in front of the "machine of the hour". Promptly explaining it, "Okay, students. This here is a machine that emits Radioactive Energy. Because we are dealing with such 'matter'. You'll be handed Protective Goggles by your teacher. Do not take them off during the demonstration, for your own safety."

The Spider flexed its legs as it began to extend it's "webline" downwards. Heading straight for the seated crowd.

The Physics Teacher promptly began to hand out said goggles. His process to give a box full to one student, where one student would take one and hand it to the next. The student would do the same and so on and so forth.

With that out of the way. Professor Discord put on some goggles himself. Grabbing the remote control and walking off stage. Proceeding with the show.

Clicking the button, The machine began to make some noise and began to warm itself up for what was to come. "The presentation will begin shortly." Professor Discord added.

The Spider had reached lower and lower levels as the webline extended. Before finally making contact onto a soft, cotton surface. A sweater sleeve.

Suddenly, a bright orange ray of energy shot out from one point of the machine. Colliding into another point. Just as some of the theatre staff began to dim the lights.

The Spider began to crawl. Travelling across the sleeve, though not even alerting the victi--Student at all. As his eyes were glued to the stage with pretty intent interest.

The Machine began to shoot out another ray of radioactive energy, adding onto the ante that had been set previously by the latter.

The Spider made contact with the student's hand. Finally residing on the surface, still not alerting the student whatsoever. But that being said...

It's next move would!

Flash, like everyone else, was watching the machine with intent. Some because it was kinda the only thing they could do, while others were genuinely watching with great interest. He fell under the second group.

That was when suddenly, he felt a sting!

The Spider sunk its fangs right into Flash, letting out all its venom into his bloodstream. Flash squinted his eyes and looked to his hand, seeing the Spider just sitting there doing its thing.

Naturally, he sighed. Before using his free hand and slapping Spider Gently, promptly killing it and knocking it off his hand. Not giving it any thought afterward and placing all his attention back at the demonstration...

But just like that, the effects became immediate!

Suddenly, Flash started to become stuffy, a little too stuffy. As he could feel himself begin to sweat. Again he didn't really give it any crazy thought, so he promptly took his jacket off.

But that didn't matter because suddenly out of nowhere, he became lightheaded. And this is where Flash started to actually pay more attention to himself than the display at hand.

"What the heck?" He placed a hand upon his forehead, as he felt a little drowsy and light-headed. Somewhat struggiling to keep his head up. "What-What's going...on?"

He found himself getting a little hotter. As he also took deeper breaths than usual.

The discomfort was growing more and more with Flash. All of this happening all of a sudden. It was to the point that he could stand to sit (see what I did there) there any longer.

"I...Let me just....I.... Things were just bad before, but it just got worse all of a sudden. Suddenly, his stomach began to ache with it growling. But it was apparent what was about to ensue. "Oh God!"

He promptly got up from his seat, luckily for him, he sat right at the "aisle seats." So he was close to the aisle and the teacher. He approached the teacher, keeping the interaction rather minimal.

"Can...I...Can I go to the washroom!"

The teacher quirked his eyebrow. "Um yeah, hold on." He glanced at Professor Discord, "Do you by any chance know where the Washrooms are? A student needs to go."

"Yeah, just down the hall to the left." Discord replied.

The teacher turned his head to tell Flash but by then, Flash rushed for the exit. Not knowing any longer how much longer he could contain the contents in his stomach.

Flash exited the theatre in a hurry, but there was no way that he could make it to a washroom now. Luckily for him, there was a Garbage can, so it was clear on where he would expel everything into.

Flash lunged for it and just let it all out. Vomiting straight into Garbage can. Letting out everything he had eaten up until that point.

By then the teacher had emerged from the Theater, just as he had seen Flash run out without any further instruction. However, upon seeing the teen bent down in front of the Garbage Can. He caught the idea pretty quickly.

"Oh..." The teacher walked up to Flash, "Mr. Sentry are you feeling alright?"

Flash had thrown up everything. And by now, he was feeling a little better. But of course with the horrible aftertaste in his mouth. "I....yeah."

The teacher sighed. "Just....go to the washroom and get yourself cleaned up." He promptly turned around. "And by the way, I do realize that you like the course. But if you're sick you have the right to stay home."

Flash was still panting. He didn't have an answer to what had just happened. Nonetheless, though, he did as told and walked to the washroom, just to get himself cleaned up and to regain his composure.

The day for the most part went as followed. Flash for the most part was alright, in the sense that he didn't have another incident. However, that being said he was still a little light-headed and well he had the "vomit-after taste" in his mouth all day so things weren't any better.

Sandalwood took it upon himself to drive him home. The car they were in was a 60's Volkswagen Bus.

...

Okay, obviously I was joking! he's not that financially stable or had the necessary funds of owning his dream car just yet.

What he actually drove an early 2000's model of a silver Nissan Altima. Driving down the road before stopping in front of the Sentry Household.

"Alright, we made it."

Flash was in the back, leaning against one side as he still felt a little shitty. Nonetheless, he thanked his friend and tossed him his payment.

"Thanks..." Flash pulled out a Hershey's Bar he was saving himself from out his bag. Though because of the recent circumstances that he found himself in. It didn't look like he'd be having it anytime soon.

Sandalwood chuckled. Rolling his eyes as he caught it. "Good Man, at least you didn't vomit your brains out."Flash let out an annoyed and honestly "sickly" sounding groan. Prompting Sandalwood to digress. "Bro I'm just playin'. In all seriousness, get better."

Flash nodded, emerging from the vehicle and heading straight for his door.

Lucas SoftMax was in the living room on the phone. Something he'd been frequently doing for the past week after the "incident" . When he suddenly heard the door open. He let out a relieved sigh, "Kal, I'll have to call you back." He promptly hung up. Greeting his son. "Hey, Champ. School called in like 5 hours ago. I heard you got sick during the field trip."

Flash sighed, "Yeah..."

Upon hearing the interaction. Sabrina came rushing from the other room. Starting straight for her son "Oh, Honey! Why didn't you tell us?" She promptly placed her hand on his forehead and cheek. "You're a little warm."

"Well, I didn't really know." Flash replied in an almost "dead" sounding voice. "It just kinda happened as the thing was beginning." He slowly walked past his mother and headed. "I just-I....wanna go to sleep for a bit."

Flash walked up the stairs and headed straight for his room. He dropped his bag and promptly threw his hoodie off. Leaving him in just his t-shirt and jeans.

There weren't really any second thoughts. He walked up to the bed and collapsed onto it. Crawling into a comfy position and throwing the covers over himself.
