Hello, and welcome to a new Danganronpa fic, which acts as a spin-off to my ongoing fic, Super Duper Video Game Fighters, in which Nagisa Shingetsu is the main character here, and this will highlight Nagisa's role as a doctor...but also as what he used to be a secret agent of sorts while working at a hospital that faces an unseen anthropomorphic medical viruses, but this also features Fenrir, and Mukuro Ikusaba gets to be his main opponent, thus a fight with her will be the main highlight of this fic.
So where this would lead to? Well, just read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Prologue
Three years ago...
The scene shifts at Hope's Peak University Hospital, where you can see a then-11 year old Nagisa Shingetsu standing inside the secret base, the Cyber Rescue Unit, where Kokichi Oma, president of Genmu Corporation, is glancing at Nagisa from head to toe, and checked on his academic credentials, where Nagisa is said to be a medical prodigy, which appeared to concentrate more on radiology, and there, a rather disappointed Mr. Shingetsu apologized to Oma if Nagisa did not meet his expectations which only caused Nagisa to resent his dad even more, as his dad said that his son is quite a failure though Oma said something otherwise.
"Oh, Nagisa-kun is not a failure..."
"Eh...? My son...is...not...what...?"
"Being a doctor...who excels in radiology...as well as being well-versed in shooting games...he is just what we need..."
"Huh? Nagisa is...wait...what are you...?"
"Bringing your son to me was the right thing to do, Mr. Shingetsu."
"R-really...?"
"Yes."
"..."
Mr. Shingetsu is rather surprised to hear this and when Oma asks Nagisa if he has ever played a game, Nagisa said the only games he preferred are SHOOTING games, Oma smirked as he showed a footage where it showed the video of a tournament game, where Nagisa is shown playing an arcade shooting game, showing that he made it to the finals but ended up only in second place, which Nagisa only looked on, and Mr. Shingetsu began berating his son for his behavior, which only made Nagisa glare at his dad for his selfish behavior.
However, Oma took out a briefcase and began to get to the point on why he is summoned here and explained to Nagisa about the existence of the CYBER RESCUE UNIT, about the current situation which is about an unknown disease that attacks the victim's immune system and how to combat it, and Oma said that he has been keeping an eye on Nagisa since then and now he is sure that Nagisa is the right person for this job.
Both Nagisa and his dad looked on as Oma opened the briefcase which shows a pair of devices, one that resembled a huge belt buckle with a lever and the other a video game cartridge, which is colored black, and there Oma told Nagisa that he will use it to take on the unseen threat from hereon, which Nagisa looked on in curiosity, as his innocent, yet childish nature surfaces, yet Mr. Shingetsu seemingly protests seeing that his FOOLISH SON would get to play games when he should be concentrating on his studies yet Oma said something that would verbally shoot Mr. Shingetsu in to silence.
"Mr. Shingetsu...if you have any complaints, then you better leave."
"Wha-what...what...?"
"I mean what I said...your son is a good candidate as both a doctor and a gamer...and his skills on both departments will be valuable to my company and this hospital."
"But...Nagisa playing video games...!"
"Unlike the ones my company released...the ONES I CREATED are SPECIAL...and they are the tools to combat this unseen threat...so Mr. Shingetsu...please stop interfering in your son's affairs...understood?"
"..."
"Nagisa is well-suited in this mission...and I am glad to have DISCOVERED him. His skills as a video gamer suits my vision of saving Japan. You should at least be proud that your son has made it this far..."
"..."
Mr. Shingetsu was rendered silent at Oma's words and then Oma glanced at Nagisa, explaining to him the situation and what he should do, and Nagisa listened intently at this as both Izuru Kamakura (the director of Hope's peak University Hospital) and Chisa Yukizome looked on, and both seemed to be rather concerned, seeing that Nagisa is only 11 years old and he may not be ready to take on such a responsibility, yet Oma assured that he has a GOOD EYE and is confident that Nagisa is perfect for this job, and there he told Nagisa that all he has to do is defeat the threat and everything will go smoothly.
"Nagisa-kun..."
"..."
"Are you ready for this...?"
"...yeah..."
"Then go now and do your job...as a doctor...and as a video game player..."
"..."
"I have confidence in you. Are you ready to go...?"
"..."
After 30 minutes of discussion, Nagisa accepted and took the items with him, as he leaves the CR Unit, but his dad followed him and grabbed his collar and selfishly reminded him that he does not approve of this yet he is willing to follow as long as it would promote the family name which Nagisa grabbed his dad's collar and coldly rebuked him, saying that he is the doctor and will do what he feels is right under the doctor's recommenation and not out of family obligation before shoving him back.
Mr. Shingetsu is pissed and tries to get his son to obey him and even warned to disown him if he tries to rebel against his wishes yet Nagisa ignored him despite his father shouting at him to stop and acknowledge his parental authority yet it fell to deaf ears as Nagisa was expressionless as he walked further away, disappointed ay being born to such foolish and selfish parents.
"Nagisa!"
"..."
"Don't you ignore me!"
"..."
"I am your father! You will do as I say!"
"..."
"You really are a failure! A disappointment! After this you will be disowned! You hear me?! We will have another child who will carry on the family name!"
"..."

Present time...
An hour later, the scene shifts outside, at a nearby park, you can see Nagisa sitting on a bench, looking a bit sullen as the memory reminded him of his past, and while initially regretful, he is still determined to move past it and will do whatever it take to rectify that mistake and finish what he started, while at the same time feeling envious and jealous that both Chiaki Nanami and Hajime Hinata were getting accolades for defeating the threats in such a short time.
He then recalled what he did an hour ago in order to get himself back on track.
-FLASHBACK-
An hour ago...
The scene shifts inside Genmu Corporation, right inside the CEO's office where Kokichi Oma looms on as Nagisa took out the bundle of money and placed them on the table and said that he is willing to pay more if needed, which Oma smirked as he finds it amusing, yet it piqued his interest and stood up, went to a vault and opened it, brought out another briefcase, and placed it on the table, opening it where it shows the contents, which is a Game Driver and a Gashat, which is colored green, and Oma smirked as he saw Nagisa's smug reaction.
"Here you are."
"I take it that I can LEVEL UP just like those two...the MIGHTY ACTION X and TADDLE QUEST users..."
"Yes, of course..."
"Good. You can keep the change...you needed the money to make games, right...?"
"So then..."
"Hmm...?"
"Are you going to save people as a doctor...? Or do you have an ulterior motive...? Just asking, though..."
"..."
-END FLASHBACK-
As Nagisa is contemplating his next move, someone approached him which made Nagisa stare wide-eyed, but instead of apprehension, anger and frustration enveloped him as the two individuals face off, and tension is threatening to go spiral out of control.
"Yo."
"You...!"
"Heh...its been three years, huh?"
"Graphite!"
"So you remember..."
"..."
"You don't look so good...you used to be a pro...now you're just a quack...but don't fret...I'm gonna put you out of your misery..."
"What a coincidence...I was thinking of the same thing...and this time I'll finish the job for real...! I'll finish what I started three years ago!"
The one who appeared before Nagisa appeared to be something not human, his body resembled that of a human-sized bear but his head and face vaguely resembled a dragon. He is identified as the Graphite Monokuma, and he is eager to get into a fight with Nagisa, and Nagisa is more than willing to oblige, placing the Game Driver around his waist, forming a belt, but then someone else shows up and interrupted the confrontation, where Graphite voiced his displeasure though the other person assured that he can find another opportunity to fight.
"Graphite."
"What now?"
"Don't act so rash."
"But..."
"You will soon have another opportunity to fight...but right now...keep things to a minimum."
"Damn..."
"Hey, teen doctor..."
"You mean me? And just who are you?"
The individual who showed up appeared human, and he is identified as Rantaro Amami, and there he challenged Nagisa on who would be the first to clear TEN GAMES now that two more PLAYERS have entered the fray, and by then both Amami and Graphite DISAPPEARED, leaving Nagisa somewhat agitated, yet this made him find the resolve to finish what he started three years ago.

The scene later shifts at Towa City, where you can see Mrs. Shingetsu sewing a knit with her hands and is rather humming nicely, especially after Mrs. Shingetsu recalled about a few days ago when she brought out a pregnancy test kit and showed to her husband the results, and revealed that she is four months pregnant, and told him that they have no need for Nagisa as the couple can now use their new child as a new experimental guinea pig and he can re-commence the experiment that he used on Nagisa and once he gets the results he desired then he can use their new child to help uphold the family name and this will also benefit Mr. Shingetsu as he can get promoted in the future.
However, Mr. Shingetsu arrived and appeared to be distressed, and she approached her husband and asks him what is wrong, and you can see that Mr. Shingetsu is not only distressed, he is also alarmed and agitated, and there she made soothing sounds and told him to tell her what is wrong, as she guessed that her husband's discomfort has something to do with Nagisa, and after some gentle prodding, Mr. Shingetsu finally told his wife the situation.
"What...? Are you saying...?"
"Yes, dear...Nagisa...despite having his license revoked...he still works as a doctor..."
"Really...?"
"But..."
"...I can't believe this..."
"That boy...he really is a disappointment...!"
"Hush, honey...hush..."
"..."
Mrs. Shingetsu is rather surprised when told that her husband somehow found out that Nagisa is not only living on his own, he is also operating as a DARK DOCTOR in which he lends his MEDICAL TALENTS to patients who are willing to pay him, and thus he is able to financially keeping himself stable. Mr. Shingetsu said that Nagisa is indeed a disappointment and wants to GET RID of him to spare himself and his wife from further embarrassment.
In a twisted turn of events, Mrs. Shingetsu suggested to her husband that instead of doing the task himself, he should hire someone to do it so that Nagisa would have no idea what would hit him, saying that in five months their new child will be born and he can start all over again and that Nagisa will not matter anymore since he is dispensible, and with the right people to carry a good job of getting rid of Nagisa, then it should not be a problem.
Mr. Shingetsu smiled diabolically as this gave him HOPE, and he embraced his wife as the foolish couple began waltzing together as they will wait for five more months before their second child is born, and now they have no need for Nagisa as they both deem him a failure and a GARBAGE, as they will instead use their upcoming new child to carry on the experiment so that Mr. Shingetsu's plans would push through and achieve his diabolical schemes, and you can see that Mrs. Shingetsu is as twisted as her husband.
By then he opened his laptop and searched the internet, and after finding what he needed, he picked up his cellphone and contacted someone, and the conversation would soon reveal who Mr. Shingetsu contacted and what his intentions are.
"Hello..."
"What do you want?"
"I found your advertisement on Google..."
"You have something to say?"
"Yes...actually...I have a job offer for you and your group..."
"What do you have in mind?"
"I want you to take down someone..."
"We're listening..."
To Be Continued... .
