Hello, and welcome to my new Danganronpa fanfic, and once again another experimental idea came in my head and decided to try it out and see if this would attract readers and fans, as I hope that it would pique their interest as Naegi will be the main character here, but will be portrayed in a different light, something no one would ever expect something.

Once again Naegi will be portrayed as an ACTION HERO but with a rather deep emphasis as he will encounter a tragic situation and hiw he would deal with it as it would affect not only him but people around him.

This fic is inspired from a 1987 film of the same title, and I'm sure you are quite familiar with it, and of course the main villain here will be someone you would not expect, as it feature characters from Danganronpa to Danganronpa V3, and being an action-type fic, expect a lot of violence, since this fic is rated M, so read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Tōkyō no Aki, Megakōporēshon no Tanjō

Tokyo.

The main capital of Japan. Before it was prosperous, full of life and brimming with a lot of lively activities and full of hope. It showed how people are enjoying life that was filled with peace and hope. The streets of Tokyo showed that business is thriving and many are selling their products and people are buying them and everyone is happy and their lives are filled with hope and content, happiness and satisfaction.

"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..."

However, all of that has changed in a blink of an eye, as an unexpected financial crisis struck Japan, and the Yen depreciated rapidly, businesses closed, and the country is steadily descending towards the brink of financial collapse. This caused the citizens to lose hope and slowly fall in to despair, and thus gave rise to violence and the crime rate sharply risen to the point that it became uncontrollable, as robbery, murder, looting and other forms of crimes became the norm.

This wave also struck the Diet, as corruption steadily infected the politicians, and their actions burden the citizens who are of the financially and socially-based social class. This resulted in bribery, hired killings, and economic sabotage, which further put Japan in more dire economic situation.

As crimes became the norm, it gave rise to robbers, organized crime groups and gangs, which also includes perpetrators who committed other grave crimes, such as robbery, extortion and rape. And this also gave rise to rapists who prey on women on an almost daily basis, and the rapists almost gets away with it.

"WOW!"

"SEXY!"

"BIG BOOBS!"

"SHAVED PUSSY!"

"EEEEKKK!"

"KKKYAAHHH!"

"NNNNOOOO!"

"HELP ME!"

This situation is further aggravated as most of the Tokyo police force was demoralized and they slowly became apathetic, with only a few are willing to stand up for the bereaved masses, and the country's woes continued, as a well-known conglomerate identified as the Togami enterprises used the situation to their advantage so as to keep itself financially stable and stealthily bought out other companies to rid of competition, acquiring employees they deem as valuable while laying off those deem as useless.

-x-

As the years passed, Tokyo continue to suffer until a certain company suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and this entity seemed to be a mega-corporation of sorts as it is financially capable and started to offer aid to the mayor of Tokyo, stating that the mega-corporation has a way to alleviate the financial situation of Tokyo and is willing to devise a way to curb the very high crime rate.

"What? You have a way?"

"Yes, I do."

"Really...?"

"Yes...but, there is a catch."

"What kind of catch?"

"It's not much, but..."

"...are you serious...?"

"I am."

The mayor glances at a man, who appeared to be elderly, and there the man said that the mega-corporation will help in restoring peace and order in Tokyo. The said corporation is identified as the Future Foundation, and the elderly man is the head of the mega-corporation, identified as Kazuo Tengan, and there he CHARMED the mayor to convince him to let future Foundation deal with the problem, and the mayor, who is identified as Mayor Meyer, was goaded.

The mayor signs a deal with the mega-corporation Future Foundation, giving it complete control of the underfunded Tokyo Police Department. In exchange, the Future Foundation will be allowed to turn the run-down sections of Tokyo into a high-end utopia called Future City.

-x-

In the months that followed, the Future Foundation started its campaign, and partially managed to curb the crime rate yet crimes continue to rise, but this was just a cover, as the Foundation laid the ground work, as it resorted to usurp certain areas of interests, such as media influence, gentrification, corruption, authoritarianism, greed, privatization, capitalism, and everything else.

While these actions caused those in the lower class of society to be displaced from their homes, the Future Foundation's control over the media covered it up, and none of the middle class and high class of society are aware of the plight, since they are concerned about their own survival.

This led the displaced masses to stage a protest and are hoping that others would sympathize to their cause.

"GIVE US BACK OUR HOMES!"

"YOU CAN'T DRIVE US OUT!"

"FUTURE FOUNDATION IS A FRAUD!"

"YOU LIED TO US!"

"YOU'RE NOT HOPE! YOU'RE A PLAGUE!"

"GIVE US OUR HOUSES BACK!"

"WE WON'T STOP!"

"WE MEAN IT!"

Since the Future Foundation has control over the media, the mega-corporation has the means to manipulated the masses and cover up the Foundation's henchmen in beating up the protesters who are against the Foundation itself for driving the poor masses out of their homes. And thanks to the Foundation's control over the media, they are free to use force of intimidation and if necessary, murder those who refuse to leave their homes.

There the Foundation used the vacated homes to convert it into one of their properties.

Inside the corporation, Tengan is watching the scene from the rooftop, as he is thinking of a faster way to speed up the process of how to curb the crime rate and earn the trust of the citizens, and there his secretary came and told him that there is a demonstration at a conference area in an attempt to assist the police in curbing the crime rate.

"Tengan-san..."

"Yes?"

"You're needed downstairs."

"Hmm...?"

"There's a demonstration about to take place. About how to speed up the anti-crime campaign and stuff..."

"Really...?"

"Yes."

"Well..."

Tengan smirked, as be sees this as an opportunity to win the trust of the masses that would further secure their trusts that would enable the Foundation to secure its hold over Future City. He then told his secretary to have things prepared as he want to see this demonstration as he wants to know how the demonstration would help and how it would benefit Future Foundation in keeping and maintaining its hold over Future City.

The secretary nodded as the two head inside, and proceeded towards the elevator, as she wondered what would the presentation be like and how would that help in maintaining Future Foundation's CHARISMA over Japan, but Tengan urges her to be OPTIMISTIC and look forward to the presentation, he finds it intriguing and feels that this would be a good thing.

"Why not be a bit optimistic..."

"Really, sir?"

"If the demonstration turns out to be fine, it would shift the tide to our favor."

"I wonder about that, sir..."

"Well, let's see what they can show us."

"Okay..."

"Ha-ha."

"Tengan-san...you're such a naughty man..."

Amid the situation that has happened all over Tokyo, now called Future City, the scene shifts to a suburban area where there are houses laid there, and the neighborhood seemed to be unaffected by the crime wave that enveloped the rest of the city. It appeared to be peaceful and free from any forms of violence, which seemed to be a good thing for the residents living there, and an aura of satisfaction and contentment covered the area.

Of course, unlike most of the masses, where swooned by what they saw on TV due to the media manipulation by Future Foundation, the residents there feel sympathy for the protesters and demonstrators who lost their homes, unaware that the displaced masses where actually forced out of their houses due to hard times and corruption, and they wished that the displaced should think of an amicable solution on how to address their situation without resulting to violence.

"Those poor guys..."

"They should approach the brasses and try to talk it out..."

"Is protesting the only think they can think of?"

"The demonstrations on the streets are a waste of time..."

"And they are becoming a hindrance instead of helping..."

"..."

"Well...we can't do anything about it..."

"Yeah..."

The scene then shifted towards one of the houses, and then zoomed inside, where it houses four person, who appeared to be an ordinary family, consisting of two adults (the father and mother), and two teenagers (a boy and a girl). They also appeared to be a happy family despite being ordinary as they are not rich or poor, just being able to afford most of the things and they have each other, thus they are better off.

This family is identified as the Naegi Family and they are a happy family despite the situation their country is in, and as the parents are busy in maintaining their children's future, the scene shifts to the living room where the two children, aged 15 and 13, are watching the news on TV, where the programs, controlled by Future Foundation, are shown, and there they happened to be watching a program that features the five-girl idol group performing.

The siblings are identified as Makoto and Komaru, and they are watching the idol show and the siblings are enjoying it, which shows how innocent they are amid the situation Future City is in as their parents would shield them from the violence that has plagued the nation.

"Onii-chan?"

"Yes?"

"Look! It's Maizono-chan!"

"Yeah..."

"She's so cute!"

"I know."

"Why don't you ask her out?"

"Eh? I possibly can't...!"

As Mrs. Naegi called her two children to head for the dining table, they are joined by the Naegi patriarch, and as the family is about to have dinner, Komaru asks how things are outside, and Mr. Naegi appeared reluctant to respond, and finally told Komaru and Makoto to be careful when going out, saying that the streets are starting to get dangerous and told the two to avoid going out unnecessarily, which Mrs. Naegi nodded as well.

Both Makoto and Komaru glanced at each other but seeing that they have no idea what their parents meant, they nodded in obedience.

"Yes, mom."

"We will."

"If you're out, then make sure you come back before 6 PM."

"Okay, mom."

"We'll do."

"And avoid staying out late at night."

"Okay."

"Got it."

However, their conversation was interrupted by a loud ruckus outside, where sounds of gunfire and screams are heard, and as Mrs. Naegi grabbed her two children and pulled them towards the kitchen, Mr. Naegi peeked through the windows where he saw a crime gang has infiltrated a neighbor's house and shoots down the residents there and began looting the house.

And the police arrived, but the gang had left, leaving a trail of destruction, and this started to cause dissatisfaction and dismay from the neighbors as they started to realize that the police stationed in their areas are starting to become incompetent, causing them to complain.

The Naegi family is starting to feel the tension now that the violence that has curbed most of Future City has reached thus neighborhood, and the parents are becoming worried over Makoto and Komaru, as the two teens are having a taste of reality, and the two wondered what just happened as they were told to stay here and not go out.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is a bit of action showed here, it is actually a prologue of what to expect here as it highlights how Japan became a pseudo-dystopian country that is similar to the Tragedy, akin to the events of Danganronpa The Animation up to Danganronpa 3: Side Future. The only difference here is that Future Foundation is depicted as a mega-corporation and uses stealthily immoral means to take control of most of Tokyo, and intends to use it to their advantage as a means to take control of the masses' trusts.

The Naegi family are introduced late in this chapter, and while this serves as a prologue, it would soon highlight the fate that awaits Naegi once the upcoming chapters come in and hkw this would affect him and his future.

Preview:

The next chapter kickstarts the story, as Naegi himself meets some few key characters who will be pivotal to the plot befote meeting a tragic moment, and thst is where Naegi's JOURNEY starts…

See you in 3 to 4 weeks…
