MEGALOMANIAC, NO A PETTY MAN Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Atlas, Mantle City
Mantle was a city in the former Kingdom of Atlas, the majority of the city was dense and industrial. With technology, keeping out the cold tundra, surrounding the city. A man tall middle-aged man, with a umbrella obstructing view of him. He had short black and gray hair as well as a thick mustache and eyebrows, and green eyes. His name is Arthur Watts, who is wearing a gray overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt, and a black necktie. His pants were the same color as his overcoat. His yellow-buttoned undercoat and fingerless gloves matched his cordovan shoes. He wasn't happy, as someone exposed that he was alive. Having to use all his hacking skills, and intellect to prevent any machine to reveal his location. Using subtlely and stealth to avoid the fools, from the Atlas military. That have been hunting him, nonstop, after Jaques' schemes and crimes have been exposed. Normally, Watts would have had a backup plan, incase someone discovered he was alive still. But his frustrating obsession with hacking, and claiming the Neo Anima devils' technology has been on his mind, that he didn't have time to plan accordingly. He growled, as he was heading to targeted location of his. A secret lab, which, was a cooperation between that Pietro Polendina, managed to secure with the head of the devils' technology. Some man name Ajuka Beelzebub. He managed to hack, into some information of this secret project, and thus headed to Mantle. Watts, he wants all that technology for himself. His ego and obsession, demanded of him to master and use for himself. Watts' desires to be recognized the most superior, genius being in Remnant. As he stealthily headed through the snow falling city, at the direction of the west. Cornering, and threatening this Mr. Beelzebub into giving him access to his people's technology. It was Watts mission, even going behind Salem's back to do this. Salem, she originally wanted him to remain in Evernight Castle, especially with the psychopath Tyrian, and the brute Hazel are clearly dead. And from what his sources managed to recover from Salem's pet witch, one of her own subordinates have disappeared as well. So the Queen, wanted her last advisor close, and out of reach of their enemies.
With things were clearly not going as plan. Watts, left Evernight Castle, and planned for a better outcome. And the only way to shift this tilting scale, back into their favor. While the Atlas system, still have his trojan virus, secretly in-coded in the data. Their was still the matter of the devils' tech. As he leisurely, passed by some imbecile Atlasian soldier, without a ounce of worry. And with that subtle evasion of his pursuers. Watts, wants to have control over this new age technology, with it not only will he, be able to achieve his destiny. He was meant to be the one above all. A genius prodigy that none can compare. Smiling, as his ego and pride were all that mattered to him, he continued on his calm walk. Heading straight to his target, soon he'll achieve such power, that even Salem will acknowledged him, as a God among men.
PENNY THE BEST GIRL Location Polendina Secure Lab. Project Penny Chamber
Inside a private lab of advance technology, with many people in lab coats scrambling around the laboratory. High-tech, and sleek in design. Pietro, bound onto a walker, walking beside Ajuka in his handsome, in his usual clothes and a labcoat, draped over his shoulders. They been working together for a while now. Making a great progress of the P.E.N.N.Y. project, just in front of two scientists was a pod of a green liquid, holding a female figure. It was the future Penny Polendina. Penny is a light-skinned android with rather curly short orange hair that came down to her chin with a small cowlick on top and she wore a pink bow on the back of her head, bright green eyes and freckles. She was wearing inside her pod. A off white old-fashioned styled off the shoulder blouse with frill detailed trim and frill flared cuffs that half covered her hands alongside copper button detailing on the lower parts of her sleeves. She also sported a short gray pinafore dress with golden trim on the hem alongside four light green stalagmite styled stripes on the lower half of the dress, two on the front and two on the back, accompanied by two matching-colored circles above the tips that had a stripe that ran around her waistline, with golden outlines, and a detachable black and light green collar. She also wore a pair of black thigh-high leg pieces that seemingly were attached to black shoes. She wasn't just a android, she was much more.
With Ajuka's help, Penny's designs have evolved. Thanks to his magic and Kankara Formula, to guide him. Now Penny was more alive than she was in canon, now possessing a fully a soul, over an artificial one like in the original story. Plus thank to Ajuka's extensive knowledge and understanding of reincarnation, he was confident that Penny will be more of a cyborg at the end of this procedure, than a android. Pietro, he instructed his walker over to his...daughter's, pod. Placing a hand over her pod's glass surface, he was eager to speak to his child in the close by future. That's when, all lights of the room, flicker and shut off. Only Penny's pod, being active. Pietro, he was worried and Ajuka walked over beside him, trying to calm him down. Then came, the sound of clapping from the dark, then several small lights, shun through the dark. Several Atlasian drones, armed with various weapons aimed straight at Pietro and who Watts, assumes to be Ajuka. Watts was impressed by their work, an android this advance, and similar to a human. He started to compliment, and monolog...when... All his drones, were destroyed, as kunai, blazing longsword, and icy claws were around Watts' neck. As Kyoko, Mizore, and Nero were surrounding the megalomaniac, held their weapons around the throat of Watts. He was utterly shocked, then the lights turn-on, revealing that all assistants and researchers are really devils. That's when Watts, realized. This wasn't his trap that made by him, but a trap made for him. Before he could taunt of say anything, Nero, she smashed the pummel of her sword to the face of the wannabe super genius. Shattering his aura and fall down unconscious onto the pristine, white floor. Kyoko, lowered her kunai, and made magical call to her dear love, and king. A few moment later. A teleportation circle, appeared on the far off side of the lab, was Serafall and Laharl. This whole thing was a carefully crafted trap, placing breadcrumbs for Watts. As Laharl, walked over to his girls, kissing Nero, Mizore, and Kyoko with loving affection. Making them all smile, and chuckle happily, with Nero adding her trademark, "umu" to her chuckle.
Allowing Laharl access of the unconscious, Watts, most likely "The" most dangerous man in Remnant. Reaching down, and placing his hand over the head of Watts. Imprisoning or straight up, killing Watts was too dangerous. Not with his mind intact, as this is the man that manage to breakthrough the dimensional gap of the RWBYverse. So using devil mind magic to probe, into the mind of Watts. Destroying Watts unprotected mind, erasing all memories, shattering all mental skills, and everything else in Watts' mind. Including all failsafes, he has in place, in case of death. Since Watts was no a braid dead, Laharl stop his mental probing. Telling everyone of Watts, backup plans and the locations of said contagencies. With that issue being taken care, up it was time for the birth of RWBY's best girl Penny. Ajuka, nodding at the rest devils, with a lime green glyph, floating in the air. Pietro, he didn't know what Dr. Beelzebub, was doing. When suddenly not only Penny's cerebral wave, were starting to flare up on a monitor beside the pod. Which earned Pietro's full attention. Instructing his walker, to head over and check on the data. As more post and alerts came, all signaling that Penny was working at 100% capacity...but her...her vitals were strong. Pietro, removed his glasses to clean them, thinking he was reading the monitor wrong. But it was there plain as day. Heart beat was strong, lung were healthy, and synthetic blood was flowing unobstructed. At that moment, the pod hissed open, allowing the orange haired half-robot to climb out. Opening her light green eyes, and scanning the room, filled with new wonders and people. As the Penny that is amiable, polite, excitable, kind and curious, spoke her first words, with a kind smile "Salutations. I'm Penny, would any of you become my friend?" Serafall, she squealed and hugged the recently awaken half-robot. Gushing over the best girl of the whole of RWBY. Pietro, he was starting to cry...this is a miracle, as he'd felt a hand over his right shoulder. Looking to his side, he saw Dr. Beelzebub, smiling at his friend, and telling his friend, that he'll tell him everything later. Saying, "Let the girl, enjoy this moment for now." as he watched Nero start gushing over Penny as well, trying to convince her of being her latest model. As a smile stretched across the old man's face.
A MONTH OF PENNY Location the Atlas Academy: Training Room
Much has happened in the course of a month. Penny, was taken to Atlas, and was soon introduced to Ironwood, and Winter. Penny, was a kind, curious girl. A scientific miracle, she wasn't a machine with a soul. But something much, much more. She was slightly more alive, than a advance AI. She could eat, breath, feel, and so much more, this is led to many checkups, and test done by the other scientists of Atlas. Penny, was alive in everyway possible. Possessing aura, thought, personality...which was soo adorable and charming...and capacity to evolve more. Ironwood, he enrolled her into the academy immediate, and provided her and her new father, Pietro, a permanent residence inside of Atlas. And because of her father, she was officially Penny Polendina. She'd gained so many experiences, and new friends in the course of the month. With the devil, Laharl, Serafall, Nero, Ranko, and Sona coming over and over to talk and teach Penny. She was soo happy. She'd gained soo many friends, they even helped her assess magic. With her half-robotic brain, all her calculations and mathematics came with ease for her to use magic. Specifically DXD wizards and mage style magic. She even like talking to Sona, and Serafall. Talking about books, and other subjects...and despite all her best attempts, Sona, she couldn't stop Serafall introducing Penny to magi-girl culture and anime. And Penny liked it, she'd even asked, "Is there one of these program, about a robo magic girl?" with eyes filled with excitement, and expectations. Serafall, and Sona stopped their small spat, not knowing if there was a anime like that. And the expecting, adorable look in Penny's eyes, made it impossible to tell her something disappointing. They'd promised her that they'll check, and bring her a "robo magic girl" anime. Making Penny soo excited. Laharl, he heard this from Sona, asking for help on any robo magic girl shows, he'd promised he'd help. As he thought of Cutie Honey, Magicaloid 44, and also Ruru Amour from HUGtto! Pretty Cure, still counts. He'll make some DVDs for Serafall, Penny, and...Sona.
With Nero, she would paint Penny. Teaching Penny about art and painting, along with showing her various songs. From Lady Gaga, Madonna, Katty Perry, and more. Penny loved it!! Laharl, he gave Penny the DVDs, talk to her, making her very happy... And blush at bit, as he was the only boy, she'd interacted with. She had a amazing month, and Laharl, he'd even offered to help her with her training. Obtaining her iconic weapons, emerging from her backpack were multiple blades, that fan out around her form. This is her Floating Array. Which are multiple gray-colored blades with a luminous green power symbol at the center of the bronze-colored hilt, and a green line running parallel to one side. The blades could fold into a more compact gun-like shape, which could be stored within a mechanical pack. Or fly around at Penny's command, a multi-purpose and capacity weapon. Over the days of the month, she and Laharl spar. Learning how to better use her weapon in battle, letting Penny have some fun, and improve all specks of her battle skills... Plus it was quite exhilarating sparring with Laharl.
