Battle Royale: Second Shell

by Song Chao

An original BR story set in an alternate America. They Should have known something was wrong when they got a nice bus... Unique setting, unique characters, and unique events. Tried to stay true to original 'style' please read and review?

1. Prelude

For all you "patriots" out there:

1.) This is a story set in an alternate universe. If the original Japanese novel can slander Japan, then I can do the same with the US. Freedom of speech.

2.) If this still insults you, and you keep reading for some reason… You are a retard.

So do not complain to me if you are a retard. Thank You.

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Battle Royale' I just own the characters in this story… Blab la bla… Let's get to the killing, ne?

Prelude

In the words of your average high school student:

The Program… If you don't know what it is you are probably living under a rock… or are one. Heh. Sorry, didn't mean to offend. Well listen up, Noob. You at least know there was another world war in 2010, don't'cha? You really are a caveman... So you don't even know about the three alliances? Well, I guess I'll start there.

I'm not sure what the war was actually about, they never told us. Some assume it was for oil, some say it was a grudge thing… It really doesn't matter. The point is that now, in the year 2019, we are still in World War III. The 3 alliances are the Red Star Alliance, The American Dictatorship, And the European Republic.

Can you guess which one we live in? Yup, the 'dictatorship'. How else would something like the 'BR' act be allowed? Apparently, this country was once considered a democracy. But when it began losing the war, it quickly dropped the façade. Hey, what ever helps you win. (We are doing better in the war, however.)

Five years after the start of the war, the American government passed the 'BR', or 'Battle Royale' act. Thus the program was born.

I see you rolling your eyes at my history lesson. Probably wonderin' when I'd answer your damn question. Well here it is.

The 'program' is a multi purpose death match. Think of 'Halo' but without the controller and shields. One high school class is chosen every 2 years and has to fight to the death in some pre-destined place. Teaming up might help… But only if you plan on stabbing your comrades in the back. That's because only one kid can come out alive. That's right. Don't matter if you got relatives, lovers, or friends. They all have to die for you to live. And comin' in second, is still losing, right?

Yah, I know it's sick. But the winner gets all these shiny pretty things. And guess what? You are still in high school.
