《Prankster》Prank 54: What super powers would you like to have
Advertisement
-Jenny, for the next few hours, I will be in another dimension. I have a job to do there and it will also help with the preparations for the next adventure we will have. While I am gone, carefully think about which of the two worlds you want to visit and have adventure on. M.A.L.A. describe them to her and answer any questions on magic or other worlds she has.-
-Be careful and come back safe.-
Penny dimension traveled to Play World and visited the human kingdom. She knew what prank she wanted to pull and started applying enchantments on doors one by one all over the castle town and the castle itself. And while doing that, she also started talking to her patron deity about the permissions she wanted him to obtain for her to play on the other god pantheon’s world. After all, it was only polite to ask permission before playing in other people’s backyards.
While putting enchantments on doors, Penny also started to program them to activate on a trigger. She wanted everything to start at the same exact time and last for two days, so she was very precise with the amount of magic power she used. Which, turned out to be a very good training for her control. It was somewhat of a surprise. The precise control also took a longer time, but all in all, Penny finished her work in less than 6 hours, after which she teleported back home, ready to continue her planning for visiting the super hero and villain worlds.
-I am back. So, Jenny, did you chose which world you want to visit?-
-We were watching the transmissions from the drones and the world in the different dimension looked like the one I won’t be traumatized in the most.-
-You are already thinking about civilian lives if you become a hero? What would you do if you can’t save someone? And? What is different in that world?-
-We have already witnessed a couple of villain attacks, bank robberies and even an accident or two. All civilians wear personalized force field generator and were able to survive the accidents. But the most interesting thing is, the villain don’t threaten civilians. All civilians are always cooperating and leave the fights between supers alone. It was super strange to see. Look, this happened in the local prison…-
On one of the monitors appeared a recording from a few hours ago, from the inside of a precinct’s holding cells. Inside, restrained in heavy cuffs, that may or may not have been power suppressors, was a creature with a huge body. Outside his jail cell were two guards and a little further away, behind a desk stood a female of the same species, or at least Penny thought it was female, behind a terminal. After a minute of not much happening, another figure materialized in the room with all the other people, but there was no commotion and instead as soon as the female spotted the new figure, she waved a hand in greeting.

-Corrupt law enforcement? Or is it something else?-
-We thought so at first too, but read the subtitles of their conversation and you will see it is something else.-
So, Penny continued to watch and saw the figure that just teleported in also wave back, then approached the desk. That is when the subtitles started on the screen.
-You appeared a lot faster this time. We didn’t expect anyone showing for at least another time measurement or two. We have someone important into custody or something?-
-Nothing so exaggerated. I was paid to bail any arrested villains before they went for their score. And today are the finals, so I decided to finish my errands early, so I can watch.-
-So, how many are you springing out of jail? We have on record 5 supers arrested today.-
-Oh. Two of those are mine. Here are their pictures.-
-Those are cells 3 and 4. I will open them now.-
The drone followed the sound of doors opening and Penny could see two cells open and their occupants walk out of them. Then, the teleporter walked up to them, caught them by the arms and said his goodbyes, then he and the other two vanished from the room. The female behind the desk stretched her arm and pressed a button and the next moment alarms started blaring in the facility.
Penny paused the recording and looked at Jenny, not sure what to say about the things she saw. Was the entire world like that? Sure there is risk trying to stop someone powered, so was that why they weren’t even trying? It looks like she had to research this world and its history more, before she visited it to play in there. There was also the whole needing the same species avatars, learning their programing language, faking IDs and a whole lot more to do. Maybe it would take at least two weeks, maybe more, to prepare for their adventure. And we shouldn’t forget the scheduled meeting at the end of the week, where Penny had to present some morphers she had to design for the Super Sentai series. She was going to be very busy.
Later in the week, just as she was finishing work on the morphers and other bad guy transformation accessories, Penny received a message from Prankstein giving her the go ahead, if and when she decided to visit the other god’s world. She had their permission to wreak havoc on that world, just as long as it was entertaining. Then, she had a long and detailed talk with Jenny, about the kinds of powers she wanted her avatar to have and the looks of the avatar. By now, they had gathered enough data from books and broadcasts to determine what the locals found attractive and repulsive, what powers were registered until now and which were thought as taboo or on a watch list. They also found out why the civilians and villains in that world acted as they did. Years ago there was a devastating war between the heroes and villains on that world that went so far as to almost destroy the world. And everything had started because a psychotic villain killed a civilian that a hero cared deeply about. Then, the hero snapped and killed the villain, but didn’t stop there. The conflict escalated with more heroes and villains joining the fight until things went too far and someone almost blew the planet. That was when a cease fire was called and the two sides came to an agreement, Laws were put in place and both sides agreed to follow and enforce them. There were also a lot of changes on the civilian and non-powered side of things to prevent future tragedies. So that explained some things that were puzzling Penny, Jenny and some of the AIs.

By the end of the week, Penny had finished building two sleek and beautiful, according to the local’s standards, avatars. Jenny’s was made to have super strength, non-visible spectrum laser eyes, above average speed and with the help of some spells, invulnerability. The avatar was shielded from EMP, electrocution and water proof and everything had triple redundancies in place. Penny also made sure with thousands of tests that the avatar registered as a living breathing and having a pulse life form. Her own avatar was much more modest in capabilities, because she planned to outfit it with state of the art technological innovations once she learned all there is about how the laws of nature worked in this new dimension. Now, all she had to do was counterfeit their documents and register Jenny’s avatar in the super powers academy to get her hero license and learn how to operate her powers and they would be ready to have fun. But right now, she had a meeting to attend to and contracts to sign, hopefully.
Now, we go a little back in time and back to Play World, to see what the prank Penny pulled was actually all about. As I suspect, no one was able to guess its contents by just mentioning magic put on doors. But the ones who did are probably psychics or something. Anyways, back to the story.
As soon as Penny disappeared from this world, her magic activated and the enchantments started doing their thing. And in a part of the castle a meeting was being called to a close and people were starting to exit the room and going towards specific places. The meeting was boring, prolonged, but more importantly, without breaks for hours and everyone had one or two things in other facilities. But, as they started opening the doors to bathrooms all over the castle and walking through the threshold, something totally unexpected and evil happened. They were teleported through a portal to the outside of another door in the castle and more specifically, to another bathroom door to. Anyone trying to enter a bathroom found themselves outside another bathroom. It was the same everywhere in the castle and the castle town. No matter if it was inside or outside facilities, all were enchanted to not allow entry.
Some tried to be smart and enter through a window, but the result was the same. Others tried to gain access through a side wall, but Penny had thought about that as well and the result was the same. For two whole days all the bathrooms were not accessible for anyone and at first there was a lot of the pee pee dance, before people surrendered to nature and either went as it was or managed to find a bush or a tree before relieving themselves. This was maybe one of Penny’s most evil pranks ever. The god of pranks of course was laughing like a madman and decided to grant his champion her request to ask for permission to visit other worlds ruled by gods like his pantheon. He was looking forward to what else Penny had in store for him and the unsuspecting population of the worlds she visited to pull her pranks on.
