Blue: This writing is going to be a little different from my own style of writing since I'm adopting to use they writing style of a Danganronpa game. If you don't know what that means, this story is going to be closer to the style of a play, but will still be have a narrative. This is both to make this more like Danganronpa and to make it a bit easier for me and my co-writer, Mirianetta, to work on this without worrying about our writing styles clashing.
Mirianetta: So enjoy this despair inducing crossover presented by the Despair Sisters.
Blue: Hey, don't give away who we are just yet.
Tales of Danganronpa
Prologue: Welcome to Hell School Life
Sorey felt his eyes flutter open, but it was soon replaced with a splitting headache. His hands instinctively went up to his head. His vision was still a bit blurry, but he was slowly becoming aware of his position.
He was sitting in a chair and was slumped over a small desk. Then he slowly started to make out some things. It was bright like the sun was out, but it just looked so fake. Sorey saw that he was in a small room that had several other small desks and chairs. On the wall in front of him was a green board with the words "Welcome" in chalk.
Where the windows should have been were covered in large metal slaps that completely blocked out whatever was behind it. There was no natural light at all and Sorey looked up to see that the light was coming from the ceiling. Could it be some kind of seraphic arte that was giving this weird lighting? But Sorey was more interested in what could be behind the metal sheets. It piqued Sorey's interests enough for him to stand up and walk over to them.
His steps were a bit uneven and he still felt like he had been hit in the head. He kept wondering where he was. He tried to recall the last thing he remembered, but that was a bit hazy. Just how did he even get here?
When he reached the metal slab, Sorey tried to see if he could move them so he could see what was behind them. But they wouldn't budge. The metal sheets were bolted onto the wall. Sorey gave the slab a tug, but still nothing. Maybe with seraphic artes…
That's when Sorey realized he had his seraphim friends tethered to him. But just as he was about talk to them, he realized they weren't with him. He couldn't feel their presence at all. "Mikleo, Lailah?" Sorey called out. "Edna?" But there was no response and he still couldn't sense any of them. What had happened to him and his friends? Think Sorey, he told himself, what's the last thing you remember?
He started with something he remembered clearly, having Edna join them so they could make a bridge and reach the plague town. Sorey ran into an assassin that had a wind seraph with them. He formed the bridge and headed to Marlind. But there was so much malevolence, so they were going to work on purifying the town. Then...that was the last thing he remembered.
"Ugh," he heard a female voice moan.
"Lailah?" Sorey called out as he quickly spun around.
But he was very wrong. There was a woman sitting in the back of the room, Sorey was a bit embarrassed that he had failed to notice her, and she had been slumped over the desk like he had. She had long dark hair and she used her hand that was fully bandaged reached up to touch her head like she had a headache too. "Where…" the woman started to say and sounded like how Sorey felt when he woke up. The same thing must have happened to her too.
But before he could ask if she was okay, her eyes locked onto Sorey and she jumped up to get what was her fighting stance. She was wearing a tattered black coat and not much else. If she didn't look ready to fight him, Sorey would have been worried where his eyes went. "An exorcist," she growled.
Sorey quickly held his hands up, "No, no, I'm not, whatever you mean by exorcist," Sorey quickly defended. Sorey got a chill down his spine because she really looked like she wanted him dead.
The woman didn't lower her guard at that. But after just a brief moment she suddenly looked startled. "What the hell?" She looked at her bandaged hand in confusion and then looked at her other arm. Then she quickly looked down at her form. "What happened to my weapons?"
At that, Sorey happened to check his side. "Ah, my sword's gone too?" Sorey realized. He still felt compelled to feel around his belt. None of his gear was on him. "What the heck?"
"Hey, you have the same bracelet too," the woman pointed out as she held up her right arm to show a thick piece of metal that was half white and black around her wrist.
Sorey looked at his right arm and saw that he indeed had the same thing on his wrist. Examining it closer, he could see that there was a small red mark that sort of looked like it was in the shape of a lightning bolt. He tugged on the bracelet, but he couldn't even slide it even just a little bit. And there was no clasp or anything on it.
*Ding* *Dong* *Ding* *Dong*
A bell suddenly began to ring gently, yet it started both of them like they thought they were under attack. A voice followed the bells that seemed to echo throughout the building they were in. "Uh, testing, testing…*Ahem* This is an official announcement," a high-pitched voice announced. "Would everyone please report to the gym for the official welcoming ceremony. Attendance is mandatory." There was a click and the voice was gone.
"A welcoming ceremony?" Sorey wondered out loud. What were they going to be welcomed to?
"What are you exorcists planning?" The woman asked. Her question was directed at Sorey and she still looked like she wanted to fight.
Sorey held up his hands again. "I really don't understand why you keep calling me that, but I'm just as confused as you are about all of this," he told her. "Look, maybe we'll get some answers if we go to this 'welcoming ceremony'."
The woman eased up a bit, but her eyes didn't leave him. She was reading him and seeing if he was hiding anything from her. "Fine," she said bitterly. "But you're walking in front in case this is a trap."
Sorey let out a sigh. "Fine," he said as he made his way to the door. He might have been more worried about her staring daggers in his back if she had any weapons. As he opened the door, Sorey asked out loud, "But what's a gym anyway?" But when he saw out into the hall, that had the same strange lighting as the room they had been in, he saw a sign with an arrow pointed right with the word "Gym" painted on. "Well that's helpful," Sorey commented.
He quickly took in his surroundings and to his dismay, the windows were also covered up with the same metal plates. Sorey really hoped Mikleo and the others would be at this "gym" too. Maybe they could remember more about how they got here.
"Move," the woman said as she pushed him out into the hall. Sorey kept his balance and started walking in the direction the sign told him.
As the led, he looked back and said to the woman, "I'm Sorey, by the way."
He glanced back at her, making sure only to make contact with her eyes, and saw she had the same expression like she was waiting for him to lead her into some kind of trap.
"So?" She asked.
"Just, you know, being friendly," Sorey told her.
"Eyes up front," she snapped.
Sorey flinched and returned his attention to what was in front of him. So much for that, he thought in defeat.
"Velvet Crowe," the woman suddenly said in a softer tone.
He glanced back to see a gentler side to the woman. But the moment she saw him looking, her fierce look return. And Sorey quickly returned his sights to where he was walking. With a small chuckle, Sorey said, "It's nice to meet you Velvet."
"Whatever," she muttered. And the two of them returned to silence as they walked down the hall to the gym.
Soon they found the two double doors that had had a sign with the word "Gym" above them. Sorey looked back at Velvet, but he was answered by her glaring at him.
So he opened the doors and she followed after him.
What they found to be the gym was a large enclosed area with a wooden floor, raised benches on either side, and a stage on the other side with a podium. And in the center were several other people standing around looking just a confused about the situation as Sorey and Velvet were.
"And that makes sixteen," a man's voice said.
Sorey quickly counted, and counting he and Velvet, there were a total of sixteen. Everyone looked to be of varying ages and a lot of them were dressed very bizardly.
"Someone better start explaining what the hell is going on," Velvet said in her same tone. She wasn't intimidated by the number of people. Sorey had to admire her tenacity.
"Wish we could tell you, but we're just as confused by all of this too," a guy with short blonde hair and a red cape said.
"Hey, they have bracelets too," Sorey commented to Velvet as he noticed. Every single one of them had the same exact bracelet as they did. He also noticed that no one was carrying weapons either.
"Doesn't mean they're all clueless," Velvet said.
"The only thing we do know is that we're supposed to introduce ourselves," a guy dressed in dark and had long dark purple hair said as he pointed over his shoulder toward the stage.
Above the stage was a banner that read, "All sixteen people must introduce themselves to advance." It was a bit of a strange request. But it would be good to know everyone's name.
The blonde with the red cape smile and said, "Well, we better start. I'm Cress Albane."
Most everyone agreed. So most started to form a circle so they could properly introduce themselves. Sorey and Velvet went.
Then a guy with long wild blonde hair went sounding way to excited considering his position. "I'm Stahn Aileron. It's nice to meet all of you."
"Hey, this isn't the time to be sounding all happy," a guy with white hair snapped.
Stahn scratched the back of his head. "S-sorry, but it's exciting meeting new people."
"Maybe under different circumstances," a guy around Sorey's age muttered. He had short dark hair and clothing.
"Oh, I'll go next," a guy dressed in red said in the same tone as Stahn. He seemed to have missed the seriousness of their situation. "I'm Lloyd Irving."
"Do the two of you know something the rest of us don't since you sound so chipper?" Velvet asked.
"Well no, I-" Lloyd started to say.
But the guy with long, braided light blue hair went on. "Let's just get on with this. We're wasting time. I'm Veigue Lungberg."
"Good point," the guy dressed in white pants and coat said. "I'm Asbel Lhant."
Standing next to him was a smaller girl with pink hair in a side ponytail. "Okay, I'll go. I'm Kanonno Earhart."
"I'm Kor Meteor," the guy next to her stated.
"That's your real name?" A woman with long blond hair said in a very curious sounding voice.
"Y-yeah," Kor muttered.
"You humans never cease to amaze me," the woman said with a bright smile.
"What's with you saying that?" the long dark haired guy asked.
"Maybe we should just stick with basic introductions," the guy standing next to the blond woman suggested with a nervous laugh. "I'm Jude Mathis."
"Very well, I'm Milla Maxwell," the blond woman said.
"Yuri Lowell," the long, dark haired man introduced.
The guy who had refused to circle up with the others was within arm's reach of Yuri. He sat with his legs crossed and his back to them. The young man had long wild red hair. "Why do I have to introduce myself to people like you?" He said angrily.
"He and I woke up in the same room together," Yuri said with a tired sigh. "Said his name was Luke fon something."
"Luke fon Fabre," Luke snapped angrily. "Get it right."
"I told you I'm not saying all that," Yuri said as he rolled his eyes. "Just Luke is fine." That angered Luke more that he actually jumped to his feet to tell Yuri to say his name right.
"Seriously, this is a waste of time, we need to figure out how to get the hell out of here," the white-haired guy complained.
"Come, what's the harm of giving us your name?" Asbel asked. "We've got to have something to call you."
"Fine, it's Senel Coolidge," he finally said as he folded his arms across his chest. "Is that everyone?"
"Um, no, I haven't," a young man with grey hair and black bangs said. "I'm Ludger Will Kresnik."
"Kresnik?" Milla asked.
"Y-yeah, don't you remember-" Ludger started to say.
But Senel was quick to interrupted. "So is that everyone?"
"No, that's only fifteen," Kanonno answered.
"Well who the hell is left? Speak up," Luke shouted.
Everyone glanced around to see who didn't give their name. And their eyes fell on a young man dressed in dark blue who was standing slightly away from the group. He had pale blonde hair and was looking incredibly nervous. When all eyes were on him, he jumped a bit and looked like a cornered animal. Looking away from them he tried to introduce himself. "I-I-I'm E-Emi-"
"Spit it out," Senel snapped.
The boy jumped more at that and went on stuttering like crazy.
"Calm down, it's not like anyone's going to eat you," Yuri said.
The boy took a deep breath, but with his eyes down casted and shoulders slumped over. "I'm Emil Castagnier," he finally said.
"Good, stand up straight next time when you introduce yourself," Yuri told him.
"S-sorry," Emil said, still not meeting anyone's gaze.
"Well it's nice to meet everyone," Stahn said with a happy grin.
"Again, maybe under different circumstances," Jude said.
"So what now?" Sorey asked.
"Yeah, we've already introduced ourselves," Kanonno said. "What do we do next?"
"Uphuhuh...Uphuhuhuhuhu" a high-pitched voice uniquely laughed. It seemed to echo through the gym. It was fairly distorted, but Sorey was positive that it was the same voice that had told them to go to the gym. "Ask, and you shall receive," the voice declared.
The last line came from up on the stage and that made all of them turn their heads toward it. They were able to catch in time to see what looked to be a teddy bear jump up from behind the podium and land on top of it. The teddy bear was a strange one with one side completely white while the other was black. Sorey quickly noticed that the bear's left eye was the same mark that was on all their bracelets. Then it startled all of them by standing up on the podium and speaking. "Hello everyone, and welcome."
"It talks," Luke shouted as he fell backwards.
Most of the others reacted the same as Luke. But a few people, like Velvet and Yuri, took on a defensive stance like they were going to fight despite being weaponless. "A monster?" Veigue asked in a sullen tone.
Sorey didn't have much visible reaction to the bear. It didn't look to be like any kind of normin. And he didn't want to say it was a hellion either because he could neither see nor sense any malevolence from it. But Sorey just had a feeling like this bear would be his enemy.
The bear pointed to himself, and in the same high pitched voice said, "Not monster, Monokuma."
"What the hell's a monokuma?" Lloyd asked.
For what looked like a stuffed animal, the bear's expression actually changed. Around his face was turning a bit red in anger. "That's my name you jackass," it said.
"So are you the one that brought us here?" Senel demanded as he was holding up his fist like he was a boxer.
And anger disappeared from Monokuma's face. "I guess you can say that," he answered. "But listen, if you want to know what's going on, then just shut the hell up and let me continue the welcoming ceremony." Monokuma cleared his throat before he continued. "Welcome everyone to the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy. And before anyone can ask, yes, this is a school. And I know a few of you are too old to be attending high school. Don't worry, you're not here for education, betterment, or any of that useless crap."
They were in a school, but they weren't here for traditional reasons? Sorey had always wanted to attend school, but he had a feeling he was soon going to regret that wish. Sorey glanced around and saw that everyone seemed as uneasy as Sorey was about why they were there.
"So why are we all here?" Milla asked.
"What else, each and everyone one of you has been carefully selected to participate in the wonderful killing game."
Sorey just blinked at Monokuma. He couldn't have heard right. What did he mean by "killing game?"
"W-what the hell are you talking about?" Kor exclaimed. Several others were just as freaked out. But there were a few others that remained calm.
Monokuma tilted his head to the side. "It's exactly what it sounds like, stone boy. It's a game were one of you will kill someone in this room and try to get away with murder."
"No way," Kanonno shouted. "There's no way someone would kill someone in cold blood for something like a game."
Though Monokuma's left side seemed to be a permanent smile bearing his teeth, there was something about his right side that made it look like he was grinning. "But can you really say that? There are some here who have already killed people."
A chill ran down Sorey's spine at that. In this room there were already killers? He quickly scanned the area, but he couldn't see or sense any malevolence. Just what was going on?
The bear cleared his throat again. "Now let me explain the rules of this killing game. The rules are super important so listen up. Now how this will work is-" But he was interrupted by Senel.
"This is stupid, I'm leaving," the white haired young man said as he started walking out of the gym.
"Like I'm going to do anything a teddy bear says," Luke said as he followed Senel
Monokuma's face turned red again. "The first rule should be, don't interrupt the headmaster," he said angrily.
A couple of others started to follow Senel, and Sorey had even take a step go with them. But then Monokuma composed himself to say, "Sure verify it for yourself. But there's no way out."
He said that, but no one really seemed to believe it. There was always a way out. At least, that's what they all believed at the time.
A couple hours later
Sorey stood in front of what was supposed to be the main entrance to this school. On the archway was a sign that said Hope's Peak Academy. Sorey imagined that the entrance was once double doors and probably pretty grand since the rest of the school looked very nice minus the fact that all the windows were sealed with the same metal plates.
Where the doors should have been were covered in the same metal plate as the windows. Senel was helplessly punching at the metal while Velvet, Yuri, and Asbel were trying to get the bolts off. But nothing gave. Sorey had been examining the walls in case there were any kind of secrets. However he found nothing. These weren't anything like the ruins he explored. There had always been a way out when he and Mikleo had been trapped in ruins.
"Damn it, these bolts have been melted down," Yuri said bitterly as he gave up. Velvet and Asbel weren't far behind.
Just then Cress, Jude, and Milla came back from checking some of the classrooms. "All the windows are sealed," Milla reported.
"No luck here either?" Cress asked.
"We better hope the others found something," Asbel told them.
"I don't understand," Senel started to muttered as he weakly kept punching at the metal sheet. "Why won't it work? It should be working," he asked out loud. The punches he was leaving blood behind.
Jude ran up to him. "Senel, you're hurting yourself," he shouted and tried to grab Senel's arms to make him stop.
But Senel just shoved him and made Jude fall to the ground. Yuri and Asbel were quick to rush over and grabbed Senel just in case he did something drastic given their situation. "I can use iron eres, why won't it work," Senel kept going on. He weakly fought against Yuri and Asbel.
"I don't know what that is, but just calm down," Yuri told him firmly.
That seemed to trigger Senel as he was able to struggle out of their hold. "I have to get out of here," Senel shouted.
"Senel were going to get out," Sorey tried to tell him.
"He's right friend," Cress went on. "You're not the only one who needs to get out. I'm worried about my friends. And I'm sure the others have their own reasons for needing out. Our goals are the same."
Senel still had this desperate look on his face, but it was enough that Yuri and Asbel let go of him.
"There's sixteen of us here," Asbel started to point out, "I'm sure we'll be able to figure a way out of here."
While Senel didn't look too convinced, he did calm down enough to cooperate. He wouldn't look anyone in the eyes and he kept his fists clenched.
"You should at least wait to hear what the others have to say before jumping to conclusions," Yuri told him.
Senel didn't say anything. Jude approached him and said he could heal his wounds. Still not saying anything, Senel held his hands out and Jude's hovered over them to start healing them. Sorey made a mental note to ask Jude about his healing artes. He had no idea a human could use them.
But just then the group that had been checking the gym to see if there was anything else came to the entrance. Stahn, Kanonno, Emil, and Kor had the same look as the rest of them.
"We didn't find a single thing in the gym," Stahn said. "And that black and white door at the end of the hall wouldn't open up."
"Yeah, we even looked behind that podium where Monokuma came from and there wasn't so much as a trap door or anything," Kanonno reported looking disappointed.
"S-sorry," Emil said with a downcast look.
"It's not like it's your fault," Cress tried to reassure.
But that only made Emil more sheepish. "Sorry," he repeated.
Yuri groaned a bit. "So that Monokuma thing was just waiting behind that podium for us like some creep?"
"He just sat there and laughed at us as we searched the gym," Kor said in frustration. "He even gave us suggestions that lead to nothing."
"Let's just go check on Lloyd's group to see if they've found anything further down the hall," Sorey suggested so they could keep moving.
They all agreed, but then Jude suddenly said, "This is bad."
"What's wrong Jude?" Milla quickly asked.
Jude held up his own hands and looked at them. "My healing artes aren't working," he reported. He suddenly had the same desperate look as Senel. Senel said he had some kind of power that didn't work and now Jude's didn't either. They were supposedly trapped and some couldn't use their power. Their situation just kept getting more stressful by the second.
"Well of course they aren't going to work, it wouldn't be a fun killing game if you could save people," a high-pitched voice said behind them. They all quickly turned and, to their utter frustration, it was Monokuma.
The anger that Senel had earlier returned and he nearly pushed Jude out of the way again. "What the hell did you do to us?" He demanded.
Sorey was sure Senel was about to throw a punch at the bear. But Monokuma just laughed. "Let's go meet with the others, I hate explaining things twice," he said as he started walking down the hall toward the others.
None of them wanted to go with Monokuma, but there really was no other choice unless they wanted to keep punching at the metal door in vain. Maybe if they heard more about the rules of this "killing game" they were supposed to play they could figure out a way to get out. They also needed to know what he did to them. Sorey had tried to call out to his seraphim friends and had gotten nothing. He hoped he could at least get a clue from Monokuma about what happened to them.
Sorey hadn't seen what was down the other end of the hall. But it was just around the corner that they saw the others. And just before they rounded it, they could all hear shouting and they all knew it was Luke. "Damn it, I said open up,"
It was quickly followed with what sounded like Lloyd's voice shouting, "Luke, you're not helping."
When they came around they saw that Luke was kicking at the gate that was blocking them from going further down the hallway while Lloyd knelt on the ground and looked to be trying to unlock it. Vegiue was just a little ways from them looking like he had a headache. Sorey wondered how long Lloyd and Luke must have been bickering with one another.
Hearing them approach, Lloyd and the others turned their attention to them. But Luke's eyes fell on Monokuma. "What the hell is he doing here?" Luke demanded as he pointed at the bear.
"Monokuma has some explaining to do. Let's at least hear it out," Kanonno said.
"I suppose if we know more we can assess the situation better," Vegiue agreed.
"Good, we're all on the same page," Monokuma said as he walked up to the gate blocking their way. "Let's talk over some food, you all must be famished after all your running around punching things," Monokuma said with a chuckle. Then the bear threw open his arms in front of the gate and shouted, "Open sesame."
As soon as Monokuma said that, a soft screeching noise started and the gate started rising up into the ceiling. Sorey was a startled. Monokuma didn't even have to touch it. He looked along the walls to see if there was any kind of mechanism that would explain it. But there was none, which meant that it was behind the walls.
"Hey, why did it move for you?" Luke shouted.
"Obviously because I had the remote," Monokuma answered. "Anyway, follow me and I can show you to where you all will be staying."
The bear started waddling down the hall and several of them gave each other anxious looks. If Monokuma wanted them to play in this killing game, were they heading to some sort of death arena? When they go down this hall, would they have no choice but to partake in the killing game?
Sorey took a big breath to steady himself and was the first one to started following Monokuma. He had to keep telling himself that there could be a way out or even a clue as to why they were here in the first place. The only way they could ever hope to escape was to move forward.
The others quickly followed suit and it wasn't long until they reached the new area. But it looked no different from the other areas. Fake sunlight, plain white walls and floors, and any windows were covered by the metal plates. But there was an open down on the side that had the words, "Cafeteria" over it, some stairs that had the same metal gate blocking it, and another long hallway at the end that Sorey could see had a lot of doors down it.
Monokuma twirled around to face them. "Alright then. This is the dorm area. Each one of you has been assigned you're very own room. The rooms are all identical and each have their very own bathroom."
"Just tell us what's going on already?" Velvet actually said in a threatening way.
"Geeze, alright," Monokuma said sounding a bit annoyed. He put his arms around his back and started explaining. "So a couple of you may have already noticed that your powers don't work. Well it's all thanks to those bracelets you're wearing. They're completely blocking mana or eleth or whatever the hell your power comes from."
Everyone looked down at black bracelets. Some like Yuri just looked a bit annoyed, while others like Senel and Velvet looked desperate to get the bracelet off. Was this thing keeping Sorey from seeing Mikleo and the others?
"What's the point in these, some of us don't even have powers?" Kanonno asked.
"Well that's to make sure you all enter this game on even terms," Monokuma pointed out. "It'd be no fun with an obvious op character taking out a completely average main character. There are a few of you who do have super powers."
As Sorey looked at everyone to see that some of them were giving each other weary looks. It hit Sorey that it wasn't just to seal powers. It was to bred distrust among them. They were in a killing game and they had no idea what abilities or strengths the other has.
"This is a killing game, right? So do you want us to just get into some kind of brawl right now?" Velvet asked with the same dark expression.
"Velvet!" Sorey exclaimed. But he couldn't get any other words out when Velvet looked back and gave him such a dark look.
Monokuma cocked his head to the side. "Loving the enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong, a battle royal among you all would be fun, but it'd end too soon. Now listen to the rules of the killing game."
The bear straightened up and cleared his throat. Sorey felt his stomach churn as they thought about what he has been trapped in. "The main point in the killing game is to get away with murder."
"G-get away with murder…" Emil trailed on. He was visibly shaking.
"Yep," Monokuma said in too happy a tone. "The highlight in any killing game, other than the suspense of who will be killed next, is the class trial."
"I see," Jude muttered. "You don't want bloodshed, but for someone to commit the perfect crime and to get away with it."
"Man, they don't call you the honor student for nothing," Monokuma said as he laughed. "When someone is killed, I will allow a certain amount of time to investigate. Then we will have a class trail. There you all will debate on who done it and vote on who the blacken, a.k.a the murderer, is. If you all vote correctly, only the blacken will be punished. But if you all get it wrong, then I will punish everyone besides the blacken, and only he or she will be allowed to 'graduate' and leave Hope's Peak Academy."
"Just to clarify," Yuri started to say, "when you mean punishment, you mean-"
And Monokuma finished. "Execution of course."
"But that means if we play this stupid game, then only one of us will survive," Asbel quickly pointed.
"Well if it gets down to two or three people, the game would be over. They'd be no point in playing any more. Look on the bright side," Monokuma said as he started laughing.
Only three out of sixteen of them could possibly survive? No, regardless, this was all wrong. How could Monokuma not have any malevolence? This was evil. Whoever the mastermind behind bringing them here to do this horrible game, Sorey was going to stop them.
But before he could make this declaration, Velvet grabbed Monokuma and held him up in the air. "I have a better idea," she said in that same dark voice. "I make you tell use how we get out of here and we leave."
"Or what?" Monokuma asked.
"Or I'll eat you," Velvet threatened.
None of them had time to react to Velvet's threat. Because Monokuma gave his unique laugh again. "Uphuhuh. I'd like to see you try after I've sealed your powers, deamon lady," he said after he laughed.
Monokuma wasn't fazed in the slightest by Velvet. Sorey had a sense of dread. But he honestly wasn't sure what it was from; Velvet's threatening aura or Monokuma's nonchalant attitude to it.
"Oh yeah," Monokuma said as he seemed to just remember something. It was followed by a steady beeping sound. "There are school rules that will result in punishment if broken, and one of them is not to harm the headmaster." The beeping grew louder and faster.
"Velvet, throw it away," Ludger suddenly shouted. "Now," he quickly added with more urgency.
Velvet did just that. She threw Monokuma away from them all. When he was thrown, Monokuma just blew up. Several of them just gave out startled gasps and screamed in surprise. Velvet had been just a few seconds away from blowing up with Monokuma. And she now looked a bit sick realizing that.
"I'll let this one go as a warning," the voice of Monokuma said from behind them. More startled gasps came as they turned around and saw that Monokuma was now behind them like nothing happened. But there was still the charred remains from where he exploded. "But next time someone attacks me, they will be getting punished," Monokuma said as his face turned red and he even extended his claws.
"No fair. You can't die," Lloyd said.
"Regardless of what you all had been at home," the bear said as he ignored Lloyd, "you all are weak and powerless humans now. And I am the god of this world. Anymore questions?"
"Yeah," Yuri said. He had a defiant look in his eyes. "Why us?"
"Each of you were carefully selected to participate because, in your worlds, you are considered heroes. So wouldn't it be interesting to see how far we can push you all until you break? But damn, a bit sexist aren't we, only three girls are considered main character heroes?"
Heroes? Sorey wondered. All of them were considered heroes? But if they were heroes, then how did they let this happen? But there was also the bright side to this. If everyone here was a hero, then there was hope yet they could stop Monokuma and escape out of here alive.

Blue: Hey guys I hope this story caught your attention and you're interested to know more. For those that don't know about Danganronpa, there will be free time conversation Sorey will be having and I'm going to let you all chose who Sorey talks in those events. Just let me know who you wish for me to focus on. See ya next time!
