Mistress Cybella

The birth of a maniacal cyber-supervillainess

By Clyde E. DawkinsPublished about a year ago 1 min read

A high school assembly took place after the winter break, and the school's principal, Dr. Dawn Richards, made her presence felt.

"Good day! I know you're stunned to see me after three months, but I just had to come out and address a few things. First off, a round of applause for our wonderful faculty!"

The applause commenced, despite their shocked expression, and after Dawn gave a bit of a smirk, she continued her speech.

"I have to give it to them. I've never seen a group that cares so little about what this school really needs: education...and discipline! I've pleaded with the school board for methods that would lead to higher grades and more prestige, but what was their main concern? Our football team, of course! Let's present them, shall we?"

A loud gasp came from the crowd, as they saw their high school football players, mangled and dead, while a team of robots stood over them. This was followed by an apparent lockdown around the entire building.

"A group of losers who win three games a year is somehow worth more than education and discipline, even more important than my job! They tried to fire me for embezzlement; I showed them what that money went to. A supercomputer created to increase this pathetic school's GPA! Of course, you know what happened next."

A three-month old headline appeared: "Disgraced Principal Killed in Electrical Storm." However, as Dawn revealed, the storm that struck the supercomputer transformed her into a half-human/half-cyborg, with the left side of her body showing her computerized form. Dawn cackled maniacally as her left eye glowed red, and gave the following threat:

"Dawn Richards did die. I am now Mistress Cybella, and you are all under my control! Disobey, and you will all suffer the consequences!"
