Once upon a time junko wanted to rule the world with despair, but then she realized that would get boring eventually. So rather then kill a perfect being of hope she would let it live along side her. That is where we are now.

Deep underground at the entrance to the labyrinth of death there was junko enoshima and Chiaki nanami. Chiaki, who had been recently betrayed by her beloved teacher stood confused and scared. Junko however had the biggest smile on her face as she stared into chiakis soft pink eyes.

"Chiaki nanami will you be the queen of hope?" Junko asked

"I don't understand" Chiaki said

"Simple, I'm going to be the queen of despair so I need a queen of hope by my side" junko smiled "together will rule the world"

"But I don't want to rule the world" Chiaki said

"Really but just imagine everyone would love and bow to your every whim" junko said "they'd love you so much that they would kill themselves for you"

"That's horrible" Chiaki said

"Of course you'd say that" junko said "spoken like the queen of hope you are"

"Stop calling me that I'm just me" Chiaki said "now please leave my friends alone"

"Like it or not you have a talent, Chiaki" junko said "you have the power to give hope to others, you can make them love you, and I love it"

Chiaki goes silent.

"Imagine with my despair and your hope we can twist this whole world into whatever we want" junko said "no one will be able to defy us and everyone will love us"

"I don't want any part of this" Chiaki said "I just want to be with my friends"

"Then I'll make you a deal" junko said "become the queen of hope and all your friends may live"

Chiakis eyes widened .

"However if you refuse or try to escape I'll make them kill each other and it will be all your fault" junko smiled

"Do you promise my friends will be safe?" Chiaki asked

"More than safe they will be the most important of our subjects" junko smiled

"I don't have any other choice so I'll agree" Chiaki sighed

"Yay my heart is racing this will be so fun" junko said "Mukuro get the crowns"

Mukuro came forward carrying two crowns on a cushion. One was made of black obsidian and fit for despair while the other was white opalite and reflected hope.

The next thing Chiaki knew she was wearing a white dress with multiple pink ribbons on it. Junko held her hand and guided her to a monotone door. On the other side all of chiakis friends were waiting, but something felt off. Something about her friends eyes seemed empty.

"Now don't worry nanami I'm certain you will make an excellent leader" Junko smiled as she placed the opalite crown on her head "You and I are going to change the world"

Chiaki didn't know what to do in this hopeless situation so she simply placed the obsidian crown on Junkos head. This sparked the others to clap and cheer.

After the ceremony Junko led Chiaki to a secret room. The room was complete with a bed and all the essentials to live.

"What do you want now?" Chiaki asked trying to maintain her strength.

"Well I'm afraid it's going to take a while before we can start ruling the world" Junko said "so rather then bore you with the details I'll just leave you here and once the world is changed we can start ruling it together"

"but didn't you need me for something" chiaki asked

"of course I need you that's why I'm doing this to keep you safe" Junko said "if you stay here then I don't have to worry about your hope being soiled"

"how long do you expect me to stay here" chiaki asked worried.

"maybe a month or two, but don't worry you won't be alone" Junko said

Just then Chisa entered the room.

"See your teacher will be with you though she still has to pretend to be teaching at hopes peak" Junko explained.

"what about my friends?" Chiaki asked

"they'll be attending class without you for a while" Junko said "but don't worry you'll see them again"

"you see chiaki everything's going to be fine" chisa smiled

Chiaki, knowing she had no other choice soon accepted her fate. The door locked behind Junko leaving only a small world detached from the rest of the infected world. Chiaki became a buried seed completely detached from the world. A seed that would grow into a flower of hope.
