Chapter 1: Bear-ly Awake

When Ruby woke up, the first thing she noticed was the headache. It felt as though someone had tried to split her head open. She opened her eyes, but that hurt her head more. She tried to remember where she was, but couldn't. the last thing she remembered was arriving in Mistral with the rest of her makeshift team.

She looked around the room, and noticed that it looked like a dorm would back at beacon. The room had a dresser, bed, and a single chair, as well as a bathroom attached. When she looked closer, she noticed there was a note on top of the dresser.

Ms Rose,

If you wish to know what Is going on, please make your way to the dining hall. Beside this letter is a map of the facilities. Please make your way there as soon as you can.

~MK

P.S. I have taken the liberty of decorating your room to help remind you of home. Enjoy!

Ruby looked around the room again, this time noticing the decorations. It looked exactly like her team's dorm at beacon, but smaller, and without the other three beds. She sighed. I guess I should go to the dining hall, wherever that is.

She looked around on top of the dresser, and saw a device that looked kind of like a scroll.

She picked it up, and pressed a small power button on the side. The device booted up and displayed a message: Welcome to the Hope's Peak Academy eHandbook.

After the message, the device displayed several tabs. Ruby clicked on the one that said map, and a map of the building appeared. The heading said Hope's Peak Academy.

She studied the map until she found a large room labeled Dining Hall. That must be it She thought to herself.

She was the last to arrive at the dining hall, and she noticed first that the rest of team RNJR (Pronounced Ranger) was there, but then she noticed the others. There were eleven of them in total. Three were grouped together at one table, five were at another, and the rest of her team were seated at a third.

The first group consisted of two guys and a girl. The girl was smaller than her two friends, had blue hair pulled back with a headband and wore a yellow dress. She seemed to be completely engrossed in a book, which was surprising since her two friends were arguing over her.

"What do you mean ya don't know where we are!" the first man said. He had long messy black hair and metal studs all over his body.

"I mean that I just woke up here same as you Gajeel." The second man said. He had shorter black hair, and was shirtless.

At the other table, Ruby could see five people sitting together. Three of them were talking animatedly with each other, while a man in blue robes sat off to the side, and behind him a woman paced back and forth. She had flawless skin with weird glowing purple lines all over her body.

Ruby walked over to her friends and sat down.

"Hey Rubes." Jaune said distractedly. "you wouldn't happen to know anything about where we are, would you?"

"Sorry Jaune, I just woke up in a weird room, and I have no idea what's going on." Ruby said.

"I think it's the same for all of us here." A voice said behind her. Ruby spun around and saw three people. The one that spoke was a tall, muscular man who looked like a gladiator, and had long flowing black hair. Behind him were two women. One was an energetic looking redhead, while the other looked more reserved and calm.

"I'm Gideon by the way, and this is Chandra and Nissa." The man said, gesturing first towards the redhead, then at the smaller woman. With that the woman now known as Chandra spoke up.

"It's good to meet you all. What are your names?" She asked.

"I'm Ruby, and this is Nora, Ren, and Jaune." Ruby said.

"I think everyone is here." Nissa said. "I noticed that there were only twelve doors in the hallway where the rooms are, and that there are twelve of us here now."

"You couldn't be more correct." A new voice said from behind Ruby. "And now that all twelve of you are here, let me introduce myself." Ruby turned around and saw the source of the voice.

Standing near the entrance to the room was what looked like a small stuffed bear, but it had a line down the middle. On one side, the bear was white, and on the other it was black. "Hi, my name is Monokuma." It said. "And you all are trapped within this school."

There were several shouts of outrage at the last statement.

"Now, I consider myself to be a nice kind of person, so I am giving you all a way out of this situation. All you gotta do is just kill someone. It doesn't matter who you kill, but you have to do it, and get away with it." Monokuma said. "If you get away with murdering someone, then you can walk free, no questions asked. However, if you get caught, then you will be punished!" No one spoke, but they all looked around, shocked at the idea of killing someone. Ruby shuddered. There has to be another way she thought to herself.

"Now then, why don't you all get acquainted with one another, and don't forget to check your eHandbook for the rules of this little game." Monokuma said. "Ta Ta for now." And with that he disappeared.

Ruby pulled out her handbook and clicked on the tab titled Rules. On the screen, it said:

Rules of the Killing Game

1. You may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.

2. "Nighttime" is from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.

3. Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory is deemed unsafe and will be punished accordingly.

4. With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.

5. Violence against Headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras.

6. Anyone who kills a fellow player and becomes "blackened" will be freed, unless they are discovered.

7. Additional regulations may be added as deemed necessary by Headmaster Monokuma.

As Ruby read each bullet, she got increasingly worried. She turned to Jaune when she finished.

"What do you think of this?" she asked. "I mean, I'm not going to kill anybody, but I don't know if we can get out of here any other way, you know?"

"Yeah." He said, slightly shrugging his shoulders. "I think for now let's meet the other people here, then we can come up with a plan." He then walked over to the table of three.

"Hi, my name's Jaune." He said.

"Up yours." The long haired man said.

"Gajeel, that's rude." The woman said.

Then the other man spoke up. "My name's Gray, and this is Gajeel and Levy." He said.

"I'm Jaune, and this is my team." Jaune said. "Ruby, Nora, and Ren."

"And we're the Gatewatch." Gideon said. "I'm Gideon, and this is Chandra, Nissa, Jace, and Liliana."

"Fuck this." Gajeel said. "I don't wanna know the names of the people I gotta kill."

After that he got up and left, mumbling something under his breath about protecting shrimp. Ruby shook her head to clear her thoughts.

"Well, I guess we can explore." Jace said. "I mean, I doubt anyone has done much other than come straight here after they woke up, right?"

There were murmurs of agreement.

"Right then. We can split into groups and explore a little." Chandra said. "I'm about ready to get moving on."

"Chandra," Nissa said, frowning slightly, "I think we need to decide who is going with who."

"I'm fine with Team RNJR sticking together," Jaune said, "And you Gatewatch people can stick together as well."

"Yeah! Team RNJR forever!" Nora shouted. "RNJR danger!"

"Nora, please stay calm." Ren said. "We don't know anything about where we are or who we're stuck with."

"I agree with the team Ideas." Liliana said. "The Gatewatch can stick together, and you four can stick together, and the two that are left can join one of our teams."

"That settles it." Ruby said excitedly. "Levy and Gray will come with us, and the five of you can explore on you own, and then we'll all meet back here when we're done."

So, my plan for this story is to post chapters as I finish. Updates will be pretty sporadic for now, but hopefully you enjoy what is to come. A quick warning, there will be lots of pretty gruesome death scenes and a ton of despair for our lovelies stuck in the school… I mean it is rated M after all. See you at the next chapter!
