A small blue orb flew through the campus bumping into students and buzzing.
"Apologies, Apologies"
The blue orb whizzed around the corner of the Main Campus Building while students were sparring out in the courtyard and tossing each other to the ground. A small sentry drone walked by a group of men carrying a large metallic unmarked case and entered through the main doors. The doors reverberated and shut behind the drone. The blood red lobby hosted many of the academy students and became the spawning point for the web that was the academy.
A bearded man walked up to the drone and wrapped his arm around it's bulky chassis.
"Hey there, Zek. How about I help you with that case you have there?"
The drone turned its head towards him and continued moving.
"Delivery needs made. No obstacles. No help."
The bearded man ran up behind him and laughed.
"Oh good buddy, you know I'm just kidding, but I will join you though."
"I am animatronic. I do not sense those four-hundred and thirty seven ways of sarcasm, idioms, and as you say- jokes."
"Always being the smart-aleck."
Zek continued into a black hallway and surveyed the room numbers. Once the room number matched the destination number, it proceeded down the hallway until it reached the room. The bearded man scratched his chin and looked through the glass door at a classroom full of students.
"Why here, Zek? This is a classroom."
"Target is inside. I have orders to deliver package five-two-seven-seven-two to buyer one-bee-el-five-six-one-one-dash-three."
Zek phased through the glass door and approached the front of the classroom where the professor stood. A small chime echoed from the case and got the attention of the class. The professor noticed the drone and put his papers down on the desk.
"What do you have here, Zek? You can't possibly imagine bringing in a large case like this to a classroom."
"Orders have been followed. Here is the package you ordered."
Zek lowered the case to the ground and slowly walked back towards the glass door. The bearded man stared at the dropped off case and saw the drone phase back through and pass by him. He waved his hand at the door and it slid open.
The professor walked over to the case and knelt down at it;s large exterior.
"Hang on for a second guys. I need to check something."
The bearded man ran inside after noticing something standing out, and pushed the professor back.
"Stay back! Someone grab Zek now!"
The students jumped up in surprise and all started talking. One man, as curious as he was, stepped up.
"What's going on? It's just a case."
The bearded man flipped a small pocket on the case and showed the complex interior to the class.
"This is not just a case! It's a bomb!"
The students eyes grew wide and they all ran from the classroom as they saw the digital timer that was displayed. The knocked down professor slid back towards the wall in shock.
"A b-bomb!?"
"Yes! I found it quite suspicious when a large package was being brought in by a drone. Zek refused to hand it over to me after I volunteered to help. That made it more suspicious and after everything, a small blinking light at the crease of this case gave it away fully."
"Well by God! What are we waiting for? I'm getting out of here!"
The bearded man watched the professor stand up and escape the classroom. He looked back at the glass door and pressed a button on the wall shutting down all access to the room.
The scared professor made it to the lobby before he felt tremors in the ground. A loud explosion came from the end of the hallway that sent a shock wave out everywhere. Smoke, ash, and screams filled the air as everybody in the building was sent to the ground from impact. A group of three teens ran from a nearby room covered in blood and hit the walls face on as the explosion caught up to them.
A man ran inside the lobby and helped the professor up to his feet.
"We need assistance! Get outside!"
The professor grabbed the man by the collar and nodded.
"I don't know what you're planning on doing, but I'll go through with it, Leon."
The professor ran out of the lobby and saw several gyro copters swarm the sky.
Leon turned quick and ran down the bloodstained hallway.

This chapter is in 2 parts. Due to its length I had to split it as such. Hopefully you guys get a grasp of what is being set.
