Ivory went to open her locker, just after walking through the hallway of the disgusted faces of students when Crimson came along behind to talk to her. "I'm sorry about last night, Ivory" Crimson told her, leaning against the locker. "I just kin-" He was cut off when five students suddenly made their attention noticed as they stood nearby. They were all dressed in black as they looked down at Crimson and Ivory, wearing masks. "Ivory....get out of here. They are coming after you..." Crimson quietly warned her. "Get to the others..." Ivory was going to testify to his statement before a deafening sound erupted from out of nowhere, echoing with the sound of the lockers and the sudden screams of the students. Crimson's eyes widened as he looked down at the pool of blood had gathered from his chest, looking in horror as the gunshot managed to hit one of his vital points. He managed to take the bullet that was meant for Ivory, as Ivory looked in horror. The boy turned around at Ivory, mouthing something to her before another gunshot was sounded. Then another. And another... The entire school heard it, especially in the cafeteria...
Almost instantly, the students that weren't shooting at Ivory were suddenly coming to her defense, even those who had mocked her in the past. Students who not a day before would trip her and call her names were standing in front of Ivory, cracking their knuckles and getting into threatening poses. "You took things too far," said Blueblood, who had been one of those students who especially mocked Ivory, "If you want to kill her, you'll have to go through us. Which I don't recommend, since there are over 1,000 of us and only five of you." The perpetrators drew their weapons, but it was futile, as the other students overwhelmed them and started beating them. It got to the point where Circuit and his friends were joining in on the beating, even Fluttershy, though of course they wanted to make sure Ivory's attackers got what was coming to them.
"ENOUGH!" Ivory screamed, to which the students stopped to find a very distressed Ivory. The android was weeping a river of tears as she looked at the attackers with nothing but pure rage. She was absolutely seething as some of the students just took a step back from her. One of the attacks stood up and tried to aim his gun at her, to which he fired a round directly at her. Ivory didn't even bother letting the bullet hit her, merely catching the bullet with two fingers. She suddenly rushed towards the attack and punched him in the stomach with enough force, that she sent him flying across the hallway with enough force that she sent him through seven walls, including the teachers lounge. After that devastating blow, Ivory rushed back to Crimson, who was now bleeding out on the ground after taking twelve rounds to the chest.
Almost immediately, an ambulance was called to take Crimson to the emergency room. Somehow, they managed to stop him from losing any more blood, though that was mostly Fluttershy applying as much medical knowledge as she could. Surprisingly, even though he had taken 12 bullets to the chest, the doctors had managed to save Crimson's life. He would need a few weeks to recover, but he would be fine. In the meantime, the attackers were revealed to be Flash Sentry and four accomplices, and they were promptly taken to jail.
Despite the doctors best wishes, Ivory remained in the hospital room stuck to Crimson like a lost puppy. Despite that she was built to be a companion and friend to him, she was still bound to him almost by fate. She sat at his side almost day and night, watching over him as a protector.
---Three weeks later...--- Flash Sentry had spent the past three weeks in jail, and was planning his escape. "That Lionheart," he muttered, "Always trying to play the hero. First, he took Sunset, and now he saved that... android... Killing him would have been a bonus..." Flash wanted revenge, and he knew how he wanted it.
About three weeks have passed, and Ivory's image had done a complete 360 since Flash and his crew launched their attack on Ivory. Despite Crimson taking the rounds for the android, he reviewed a warm welcome back from hospital. It was Ivory who was living in the spotlight now, where not only were students approaching her, but they were absolutely amazed with what she could do. Ivory wasn't just making friends, she was welcomed with open arms by the school. Finally. Ivory and Crim arrived at CHS, where a celebration was being held for the two of them. Crimson had recovered, but still didn't want to do anything particularly physical...
It wasn't long, however, before bad news broke out. "You guys," said a terrified Sunset, "Flash Sentry escaped!"
Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement. "Remember the big beating he got three weeks ago?" she said, "Well, I was holding back."
Crimson smiled at Rainbow's comment. "If Flash didn't shoot me, he would have been the one in hospital. I'm getting revenge..."
Crim nodded in response as Sunset and Ivory decided to watch from the side-lines. "No need to kill Flash, he will suffer more if we keep him alive. I've been meaning to show him something"
Six hours later, after school Crimson, Ivory and Sunset arrived down a street, to where Flash seemed to be looking for them. Crimson wore a black coat over his school uniform and a black hat, while Sunset and Ivory just decided to see how Flash was going to make the biggest mistake of his life. Rainbow and the others were supposed to arrive in a moment. The sun was slowly beginning to set, as the empty suburban street was soon flooded by a large group of Flash's friends. Sentry himself, walked down as their leader as he eyed down Lionheart. "You are mine, Lionheart...." Flash Sentry quietly said to the group.
"Heh, don't even try it, pal," replied Rainbow Dash. "You wanna die, too, Rainbow Crash?" Flash replied, "Well, don't hold back, hit me." "Together?" she asked Crim.
Rainbow Dash cracked her knuckles and stepped forward. What happened next could only be described as a blur of fists. "Aaaaaaa... TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA..."
Flash was beaten senseless, along with the remainder of his group, while Crimson slowly and casually walked towards the injured Sentry. Flash was now crying in agony and fear, backing away as much as he could to him before stopping about two meters from him. "Please forgive me!" Flash desperately plead. Crimson just shook his head. "Ask for forgiveness from Ivory, the woman that you tried to kill. I never had any intention of forgiving you in the first place." he said before taking another step closer to him. "You truly are the lowest scum in history....you can't pay back what you owe WITH MONEY!" Then all of a sudden, a tall, well-built purple humanoid appeared out of Crimson and was beating Flash senseless at lightning speed. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA" The figure seemed to shout.
