The Hope's History Museum... One of the only places where you can learn about the Tragedy all those years ago... And now a lucky selection of Ultimates will be given the chance to go there on a school trip. Willow Gates, along with 14 others, has be...
I woke up to Pearl's voice. I didn't question how she got into my room since I recently realised I had a habit of accidentally leaving my door unlocked. I went to look at the time.
1:30pm?!
Normally the morning announcement would've played by now? As if reading my mind, Pearl sighed and said "The announcement didn't play for any of us. I was the first to get up since I'm used to early risin', and I found quite the site. Ya better come and have a look." I nodded and got up and out of bed as soon as possible. Then, Pearl led me to the main hall.
Jamie and Lewis were already there. They seemed to be examining a box. I got closed and realised that the box had a TV screen of sorts.
The boys noticed our arrival "Willow, Pearl! I think we've almost got it... Ugh where's an Ultimate Mechanic when you need one?!" Lewis muttered. Jamie sighed "We're trying to see what this thing is. We have a feeling it's the AI, but unless we get the damn thing to work we have no proof..."
Suddenly, static came on the screen

"Bingo!" Pearl yelled. Jamie placed the box onto the floor. We waited for something other than static to show.
"Do you really want to know who I am?"
The voice came from the box. It felt a bit more eerie yet also more familiar close up.
"I mean, at the end of the day I'm simply a recreation of one of your classmates through an AI... But whoever appears on that screen is the mastermind behind this game..."
"Quit stalling and tell us!" Jamie yelled at the screen. The AI made a noise that sounded like a chuckle
"Very well, I'll reveal myself in 3...

"Happy to see me?"
Everyone seemed shocked into silence. Owen, the very first victim, was the face on the screen. The boy was covered in blood and his yellow tie was replaced with a black and white one. "Sorry about the blood!" He chuckled "I just finished some... Business when I had done the face recognition and you can't change the past!" He smiled as he said it.
Naturally, Jamie was the first to react
"What the hell?!" He yelled "You're the mastermind behind all this?!" The boy kept on smiling "I know! Isn't it hard to believe that the little sick boy is the mastermind!" Pearl raised an eyebrow "Sick?" She muttered. "Oh... Did Oscar not tell you?"
I thought back to when I first met the twins. It had been brought up that Owen was shorter than Oscar and he explained that he had an illness. Apparently it made him more... "Fragile". Or at least that's what Oscar said.
The machine began to speak again "Sooo, do you want to hear why? I bet you do! Well don't worry, I'll tell you since I'm suuuuuch a kind and considerate person!"
The AI then smiled, and told us everything...
A/N
So like I might take a break and write all the next parts then them all at once or something but yeah. Btw, the next part will basically be in Owen's POV in a way and just explaining stuff so yeah-
