Jabberwock Island, was as it was always. Ever since Monokuma's sudden entrance and removal via Usami's intervention, things had calmed down and quieted down.
"FUCK!"
…rather, they almost calmed down.
"Okay this fucking time, let's not screw this up, okay?!" The irked tone of Fuyuhiko rang out, gripping the gold colored game console in his hands, resting against the wall with the others. They were inside of one of the many bungalos where they rested, and each of them had a game system in hand. In total, it was the Ultimate Gangster, Nagito Komaeda, Hajime Hinata, and lastly Kazuichi Souda…and the game wasn't going as perfectly as planned.
Hajime shook his head, a sigh escaping his mouth, as he recalled the situation.
Usami had brought them a few games with Chiaki's request, and with it a few games systems as well, including oddly enough a 3DS for each and every one of the to game with one another. Most of the games didn't catch the student's eye…save for one.
It was titled Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate; the case was pretty solid, so thus he played…and when he learned that it was four player he was eager to share the game with his classmates.
Of course…this didn't turn out so well.
"H-Hey! I warned you guys that getting too close to the Barrel Bombs'd be bad! But noooo, someone blew up."
"Nagito blew up, three times in a row." Fuyuhiko said, obviously seething. "How the hell did we fuck that up when the damn lizard was limping and running away?!"
"Seems my luck affects the game too," Nagito spoke up, resting with his back to the bedpost, a calm look on his face despite the grueling defeat they had. "Ah well, perhaps trash like myself shouldn't play this-"
"Guys, let's all calm down." Hajime decided if he didn't be the voice of reason, no one would. "Now here's what we're gonna do: we're gonna focus and hunker down. The Great Jaggi's an easy boss, we just got carried away. All we need to do is have a few of us distract it while Kazuichi shoots it with his gun."
"Tch, alright."
The game was back to how it was. Everyone stood at the base camp in the Ancestral Steppes. All of their game avatars mirrored them in real life, through some ungodly circumstance, and they all adopted weapons they each enjoyed.
Hajime used the Insect Glaive due to its versatility and uses.
Kazuichi used the Light Bow gun, and he loved the damn thing even though it was virtual.
Fuyuhiko used the Gunlance…for reasons no one wanted to delve into.
And lastly, Nagito used a Sword and Shield, the most basic thing in the game…he said it was because he was trash.
"Okay guys just stick to the plan," Hajime said, walking down the dirt path to get to the next area. "All we gotta do is distract the Great Jaggi while Kazuichi shoots it with his bowgun until it tries to flee, and then we spring the trap set at the area border to stun it long enough to kill it."
"Sounds easy enough, let's get it done!" Kazuichi was already gone, with Fuyuhiko in tow cursing at him.
"HEY WAIT UP DUMBASS! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STICK BEHIND THE DAMN TANKS!"
"Ah, this'll be a fun game, though I'm not sure why you're stooping down to playing with filth like me-"
It was then that Nagito realized everyone was already gone.
"…oh."
The boss was as it was, the Great Jaggi surrounded by more little Jaggi. Like the battle plan Kazuichi stuck himself somewhere out of mind and peppered the giant lizard while Hajime and Fuyuhiko rained down on it with attack after attack. Nagito helped…or rather he fought off the little Jaggi around them, as a means to keep them off their back.
Finally, after switching tactics, they managed to actually sedate the Great Jaggi, and make it fall asleep.
"Alright, now we set the bombs! Everyone got their bombs right?"
"…no, we did that last time and we almost all died." Fuyuhiko said, glaring at the mechanic, who went on to plant the bombs as he said despite their protests. "Just be careful alright?"
"Let me place the last one, we'll see how my luck works—" The mere instant Nagito placed down the barrel trap, a Kelbi ran up and crashed into it…
…making the thing explode in their faces.
And with three of them having died, the game was over, and once again another defeat was sustained.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"
"So let's recap…we're not letting Nagito play Monster Hunter with us anymore…" Hajime muttered, eating his food at breakfast, at a table with Kazuichi and Fuyuhiko; both of them nodding in agreement. "We need a new player four then…"
"W-What about Miss Sonia-"
"No." Fuyuhiko answered bluntly, without even looking up from his food. "What about Peko? She uses the Long sword, and it'd be versatile-"
"Nope." Hajime just toned out the fighting of the two of them…this was gonna be a long break here.
Maybe that game really was Despair…
(This idea came to me after playing MH4U, and watching the latest episode for the Despair Arc…had me hurt pretty badly. So thus, I wanted to do something to take my mind off things…so I did, and thus, DR/MH crossover. And yes, the characters are being referred to via their first names. It's because I watched playthroughs of the game in English…so this is what you get. Hate it, love it, up to you. More of these will come with my time in the game, and it should be a fun experience for both me and the readers.)
