Prologue: Let the game begin

I woke up strapped to a table. A sense of panic ran through my circuitry. I quickly moved to sit up only to come to the realization that the straps holding me down were so frayed, a baby could've ripped through them. Now that I was sitting up, I could see I was on a beach shoreline. Wait, a beach? I was supposed to be in school for my classes at Hope's Peak Academy.

"Ahem," crackled a voice over the intercom, "All students please gather in the cafeteria. There is a map of the school grounds in your student handbooks."

I recognized the voice from... somewhere. Try as I might, I couldn't find the memory in my memory banks. I left the shore and discovered I was on island one. Lucky me, my handbook says the cafeteria also on island one. I headed inside and found several others.

Inside, my scanners picked up 56 heat signatures not including my own. I decided to introduce myself to a green haired girl in a wheelchair. She seemed to be about middle-school age, I wondered what had caused her to require a wheelchair.

"Hello, I am K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot!" I introduced myself, "But please, address me as Keebo!"

"Monaca is happy to meet Keebo! Meow!" said the girl. "Monaca is called Monaca, in elementary school I was known as the li'l ultimate homeroom. I'm the super secondary school robotics expert!"

"I assume that as a robotics expert you understand that my AI has feelings?"

"Of course! Monaca would be bored if you didn't have feelings!"

After introducing myself to Monaca I moved onto a shy looking girl who was covered in bandages.

"Are you okay?" I asked the girl.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" she screamed. "S-sorry! I didn't mean to make you think I was injured!"

"U-um it's okay," I sputtered.

"R-really? W-well... I'm the Ultimate Nurse, M-Mikan Tsumiki."

"Wow, that's an incredible talent!" I complemented. "It must be very useful!"

Mikan seemed very nice so I agreed to be her friend. I then headed over to a trio of males and one female, the male with white hair seemed overly happy while the two with brown hair seemed very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, I can feel the hope radiating off of you both!" sighed the boy with white hair. He continued, "Scum like me doesn't deserve to be in your presence!"

"Oh, hi I'm Hajime Hinata," said the boy with short brown hair. he looked relieved to have a distraction. "I can't remember my ultimate talent."

"And the two of us are ultimate luck! I'm Nagito Komaeda."

"I'm Makoto Naegi, and this is my little sister Komaru."

I introduced myself to the four and continued my rounds. I headed towards two girls who looked to be in deep conversation.

"Hold up! I can totally tell who you are! K1-B0, or as you prefer, Keebo. Your talent is ultimate robot!" said the girl with blonde hair. I looked at her in shock. Sure, guessing my talent should be easy, but my name? My surprise must've shown because she continued. "Wondering how I knew your name? Li'l sis Monaca was talking about a robot and here you are mister nuts 'n' bolts!"

"Are you another robophobe?" I pressed as her comment had angered me, "I have a recording function. If you make any robophobic remarks, I will see you in court."

"Nah, robots are like, sooooooo coool!" squealed Blondie. "Omg, I totally forgot to introduce myself!" she extends a hand. "Junko Enoshima, the ultimate fashionista!" I shook her hand turned to her friend.

"Mukuro Ikusaba, Ultimate soldier, former Fenrir group member." said the black haired girl.

After I introduced myself to them, a female with braided twintails ran up to me and cried. "Hey, robot! Do you have facial recognition? I can't tell which one is master!" She gestured towards two men who looked exactly alike aside from their size difference.

"Is that prejudice against robots?" I balked. "I have facial recognition but because of that assumption I refuse to tell you which is the real Byakuya Togami!" It was true, I could tell the real one was the thinner one. "I'll call the thinner one Togami, and the heavier one Byakuya."

The two Byakuya Togami seemed content with that while the girl, who I now recognised as Toko Fukawa the Ultimate Writing Prodigy, started shouting derogatory remarks at me.

"Exca-use me!" Junko slapped Toko, "You have no right to treat my friend like that!"

"You- you slut!" growled Toko, "Telling me what to do, you should cover your-" she was suddenly socked in the cheek by Mukuro.

"Thanks sis!" squealed Junko. "Hey Keebo, you okay? She didn't, like, hurt you or anything right?"

I felt my face heat up with my answer, "N-no, thanks for the concern Junko-chan."

"No problem!" she then turned to Mukuro. "Sis would you be a doll and take sleeping stinky to Mikan-chan? I feel bad about hurting the poor thing."

While Mukuro took Toko to Mikan, Junko and I talked. After they came back a loud crackling came over the crowd. "I...am...Monokuma! And I am this school's headmaster!" A black and white teddy bear jumped up from behind a podium. "I know what you are thinking, and I'm no stuffed animal! I'm Monokuma!"

"But Mr. Monokuma," the bear said mimicking a curious child. "Why are we here?"

Monokuma suddenly switched back to his original personality. "Excellent question! You're here... to kill each other!" The crazed creature burst into laughter as the other students shouted in protest.

Monaca then rolled forward. "Mr. Monokuma, you're joking right?"

"Sorry little miss vegetable I'm more serious than when your family says they wish you weren't born. I want to see it all, all the despair!"

"Lame." Monaca deadpanned in a suddenly morose tone. "Despair is so boring. Jeez, I'm gonna blow this popsicle stand." The girl then pushed a button on her wheelchair. Her wheelchair began changing shape similar to that of a Transformer. In a matter of seconds Monaca was sitting in the cockpit of a menacing robot with machine guns for hands.

"Hey, that's an unfair advantage!" protested Monokuma.

Monaca continued her apathetic vocal pattern, "I'm only having one kill." She switched back to the cheery girl I'd met. "I'm gonna blast the stuffing out of you!" she began a non stop barrage of bullets upon our captor all while giggling like a child.

When she was finally done destroying the bear, she turned the mech back into a wheelchair. We were all looking at her in shock. She turned to the crowd. "What?"

"That was sooo cool!" squealed a boy wearing an outfit that looked as though it was made out of a straightjacket.

"Thanks!" Monaca beamed. "Now let's escape!

"Not so fast!" said a despairingly familiar voice.

We all turned back to the remains of Monokuma to find another one standing right in the middle of the debris.

"Any violence against the headmaster is strictly prohibited!" Screeched the bear. "There's only one punishment fit for this offense, Spears of Gungnir, attack!" An uncountable amount of spears suddenly burst through the floor impaling the the girl several times.

"W-what a...boring way...to die..." Mocaca choked out. "Keebo...keep every...one... safe..." She then coughed up blood and slipped out of her chair that was now slick with the red fluid.

Monaca, she died right in front of me. She was just a child. She didn't deserve to die like that and especially not that young. All around me people looked like they were going to get sick. I could feel the despair charging across my circuitry. I turned to the bear, the child murderer, the demon.

"I don't care what you do!" I yelled. "I won't let anyone die! Not anymore!"

"I hardly think we have a choice in the matter." said a girl in gothic lolita. "Our only chance of survival is following the rules."

"Ummm, Celeste. That's like, messed up to say right now." Voiced Junko. "That was my little sister, you could offer me all the latest fashion magazines and I still wouldn't kill." The fashionista paused and walked towards me. "I'm with Keebo, count me out of this freak show!"

"Yeah, a game people are forced to play isn't any fun." Said the boy in the straight-jacket outfit, Kokichi Oma. He came over to stand with me and Junko.

"Oh," Celeste said in a falsely kind tone. "I didn't realise we were taking a vote." With that all our classmates began choosing sides.

In the end my side had a much bigger standing. "Well I guess you all have some plan of escape?" Questioned Celestia after admitting defeat.

Everyone looked at me, Junko, and Kokichi. "We're on a damn island!" Junko yelled "I'd hate to ruin my hair but a boat looks better than this prison!"

"Upupupupupuh!" Cackled Monokuma. "I guess I'll show you the mainland!" A screen clicked on near Kokichi.

"What?" said Kokichi , "Uh-uh, this is the kind of lie that even I wouldn't tell!"

I came up next to him to see what he was talking about, and I instantly regretted it. We could see a destroyed city. There was little life to be seen. Many monuments were in ruins.

"Omg,"cried Junko. "I believe the phrase is, 'post-apocalyptic hellscape.'"
