Hello, and welcome to another experimental Danganronpa fic. Once again a new inspiration struck my head during the Halloween season, and while working on my other Danganronpa fics, I happened to saw the commercial on TV about Thor: Ragnarok, where it featured the Hulk. This in turn caused my head to work on a random whim and began to do some research, and this led to coming up with a new fic.
This started after researching on Wikipedia, and in the process, I discovered the VERY FIRST TV series that aired way back in 1978. I began downloading the episodes of that series and watched it at home, where I get to see the two stars, Lou Ferigno and the late Bill Bixby. Although its TV adaptation is loose due to at that time being aired in the 80's which the writer and director wanting to give audience something take seriously without boring them using the same concept from its comic book counterpart, I find it quite okay and appreciate it a lot.
Bixby's performance as Banner was good, and there my mid started working as it gave me an idea and decided to adapt the Hulk TV series and turn it into a fanfic set in the Danganronpa universe. Naegi came to my mind since both he and Bixby's character are somewhat relatable, and the rest is history.
This fic is AU and will not reflect the canon version of the DR universe. This means that Hope's Peak Academy won't be shown here.
While Naegi will be the focal point, other Danganronpa characters will appear and portray different roles, and other main characters, such as Kyoko Kirigiri, will also play a pivotal part once the chapters come in. this also means characters from other Danganronpa series will also appear in chapter-specific story arcs, which also include Danganronpa 2, Danganronpa: Another Episode, Danganronpa 3 and the recently released Danganronpa V3 (in the U. S.).
Also, members of the Future Foundation will also appear, but will portray different roles.
Well, enjoy!
Ch. 1: Prologue
Japan.
The country that is located within South East Asia, quite near different Asian countries such as China, Taiwan and the Philippines, is seen and that country is ruled by the Diet, and are handled by the Emperor and the Prime Minister. After their defeat at World War II, the country began to change for the better, and for several decades Japan vastly improved, mostly in the technological department yet their culture and values remained the same, as most Japanese citizens remained hospitable to visitors, residents and tourists alike.
The scene then zoomed further and you can see that the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.
Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.
"Hey!"
"Nice day, isn't it?"
"Today is a good day..."
"I love my job..."
"Life is so good..."
"I wish I have a good day..."
"Lots of money..."
"Lots of girls...".
-x-
The following days, the scene shows that life in Tokyo us business as usual, and it was definitely a peaceful day, where pedestrians are crossing the streets and walking by the sidewalks, many are hanging out at certain places, some went on a date and others are meeting up in front of malls, and some gathered at snack bars and you can see lots of people socializing with one another.
It shows how typical the day is here as everybody is relishing their moments and do not seem to have a care of what would come tomorrow as they all enjoy about what comes today.
"Hey there..."
"Today's a good day..."
"Ah...life is so good..."
"Let's have lunch...?"
"Will you be my girlfriend...?"
"Let's get married..."
"Stop right there!"
"EEEP! COPS!"
The scene later shifts to a residential area somewhere in Tokyo, and there you can see that it is a subdivision where a group of houses are there, which appeared to be ordinary, as it is not posh or extravagant, simply a simple area where the residents there are living normally yet happily, and the subdivision is not quite big, yet it can be improved if the area is under construction where the land developers can put up a huge high-rise residential area such as condominiums and hotels that can cater the rich and financially powerful.
But for now, the said area is occupied by ordinary residents living there. The scene zoomed closer, where you can see a teenage girl, aged 14, and she had just arrived from doing an errand, and she appeared to be an ordinary girl, who is simple, yet cheerful. She is identified as Komaru Naegi, and she is about to head towards her house when four neighbors came and greeted her, and Komaru smiled at the four seeing that they are going to ask her to play with them.
"Hi, Komaru-chan!"
"Hey, Komaru-chan!"
"Let's play!"
"Play with us!"
"Maybe later...I'm going to watch TV where an idol group is going to be shown..."
"I want to watch too..."
"Me too..."
"Let's watch together..."
The four neighbors appeared to be children in their preteens, one aged 12 and the rest are aged 11, and they appeared to be kind, yet they are quite known to be naughty and mischievous, yet they can be tolerated if ask to behave well. The four children began accompanying Komaru to her house when told that she is going to watch a live show and invited the four to watch with her, which they agreed. The scene zoomed towards the four and they are identified as:
- Nagisa Shingetsu
- Masaru Daimon
- Kotoko Utsugi
- Jetaro Kemuri
The four children belonged to middle-class parents, but for some reasons the parents had to go overseas for financial commitments and had the four children stay at a relative who happened to be neighbors of Komaru, and the four children moved to the area three years ago and due to the absence of their parents, they began to do mischievous deeds just to get attention, but thanks to Komaru's stern, yet gentle prodding, the four gradually began to behave and became good neighbors and friends to her, and they began to frequently go to her house every weekend.
Since they are in the middle of a summer break, the five neighbors began to spend time together, and just now they are joined by another neighbor, who appeared to be 14 years old, tan-skinned and is a bit taller than Komaru, and he is a boy. He is identified as Yuta Asahina, and he appeared to have a secret crush on Komaru but is quite shy to tell her his feelings and chose to be friends with her for now. He is the younger brother of Aoi Asahina, who happened to be good neighbors with the Naegi family. Yuta then approached Komaru and asks her what is she going to do now.
"Hi, Komaru-chan..."
"Ah, Yuta-kun..."
"What are you going to do today...?"
"I'm going to watch the idol group on TV..."
"Really?"
"Yeah..."
"Can I join?"
"Sure..."
Komaru told Yuta that she is going to watch a live show where her popular idol is going to sing, and he decided to join her, wanting to watch too, and a minute later, the six neighbors entered the house and went to the living room where there is a huge sofa that is near the TV, and the four kids began jumping towards the sofa as if they are making themselves at home, and Yuta told them to behave, which the kids stick their tongues out in reply, but Komaru gently told them to behave which they obliged. Yuta then sat on the sofa next to the four kids as Komaru went to the ref to bring out snacks, putting them on a huge bowl and went to the living room to distribute the snacks to her five neighbors.
By then someone came down from the second floor, where a teenage boy, aged 16, is also heading to the living room to watch. He is identified as Makoto Naegi, and he is the elder brother of Komaru, and there the five visitors greeted Makoto, which they bowed at him, and Makoto bowed in reply, and he told the four kids to behave themselves which they promised not to pull off another prank.
"We promise..."
"We'll behave..."
"We won't do anything..."
"We will stay put..."
""Okay...good. If you do something foolish...I'll send you out..."
"Okay..."
"We promise..."
"We want snacks..."
The house that the four kids are currently at belonged to the Naegi family, which consists of two adults and two teenagers, specifically Makoto and Komaru. The Naegi family appeared to be an ordinary family as they are neither rich or poor, just a well-do group who are nothing special, living an ordinary life, with the parents having ordinary jobs while Makoto and Komaru are ordinary teenagers who blend well with the neighbors.
Makoto is a down-to-earth boy, humble and kind, though he can at times be a bit of a pushover, but he is quite optimistic, and these traits are what made him dear to his family, friends and neighbors, and Komaru loved her elder brother dearly, and Makoto is so well-liked that even younger neighbors sometimes come over to hang out with him.
By then Mrs. Naegi came home after doing some groceries, and there Makoto and Komaru greeted her and helped her in putting the groceries on the table, and there Komaru's younger friends greeted Mrs. Naegi, which she nodded in response.
"Hi, Mrs. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mrs. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mrs. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mrs. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mrs. Naegi!"
"Hello, kids…did you behave well?"
"Yes…we did."
"Good. Just make sure you don't leave any mess here."
Mrs. Naegi then told the five younger visitors to behave well and not cause any trouble here inside the house, in which the five visitors nodded and promised that they will behave and not give the owners any trouble, and they promised that they will behave well while hanging out with Komaru, which Mrs. Naegi nodded and she told them that she brought pizza and she asks them if they like some.
Yuta, Nagisa, Masaru, Jetaro and Kotoko beamed with approval.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
As Mrs. Naegi brought out a huge pizza box, she placed it on the table and the five visitors stared wide-eyed in astonishment seeing that the scent of the pizza is mouth-watering as it was freshly cooked and still hot, and Komaru brought the paper plates along with the plastic forks and knives, and she told her five visitors to wait at the couch as her mom is slicing the pizza, and said that the pizza will be served in 40 seconds, which Yuta and the other younger kids beamed with anticipation.
"Wow!"
"Pizza!"
"Pizza!"
"Yummy!"
"I'm hungry!"
"Pizza Hut!"
"I'm starving!"
"Yum-yum!"
Soon the pizza is served, and the visitors began to dig in with Komaru joining them, and as Mrs. Naegi began to bring out the groceries, Makoto watched Komaru and her visitors enjoying, and he is smiling seeing that despite his family being ordinary, the Naegi family is still happy and he could not ask for anything more, as he is happy to see that their neighborhood is peaceful and happy.
At this point, Mr. Naegi arrived, and Komaru and Makoto came and greeted their dad, hugging him as he entered the house.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
"Ah..hello, kids!"
"How is your day?"
"Yeah, how is it, dad?"
"Fine, just fine...did you kids behave today?"
"Yes, dad."
"Yes, dad"
Likewise, Yuta and the four kids stood up and greeted Mr. Naegi, showing courtesy to him.
"Hi, Mr. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mr. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mr. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mr. Naegi!"
"Hi, Mr. Naegi!"
"Hello, kids…did you behave well?"
"Yes…we did."
"Good. Just make sure you don't leave any mess here."
As they all resume enjoying their meal, Makoto is about to join his younger sister, when she start to wobble while clutching his head, feeling dizzy and his sight started to get blurry, and collapsed on the floor, startling his family which Komaru and her parents became concerned at seeing what happened to Makoto, as they rushed to his side.
"Makoto!"
"Onii-chan!"
"Makoto! Are you okay?"
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan!"
"Makoto! Hang in there!"
"Mom! What's happening to onii-chan!"
"I don't know!"
"Onii-chan!"
"Makoto! Can you hear me? Makoto!"
Yuta volunteered to get help, and Nagisa, Jetaro, Masaru and Kotoko rushed to Makoto's side, trying to wake him up, only to see Makoto unresponsive, and after a few minutes, Yuta came back and said he called the ambulance, and a few minutes later, an ambulance arrived and carried Makoto on the stretcher and is being taken to a nearby hospital.
