Hope and Flux looked over their room the next morning.
"Okay, according to the bear, boys and girls get special perks. For men, we get a door that closes with no locks as well as a toolkit. For girls, their bathroom doors lock and get a sewing kit. Apparently they're suppose to be murder weapons." Flux said.
"You dont expect me to murder someone and get away with it, do you?" Hope asked.
"Of course I don't. You're too much of a softie to be a murderer. And if I try and murder, you're gonna try and rat me out or hold me back." Flux said.
"Hope sighed. "Okay, lets get one think clear. We both hate each other."
"Yes. We've...oh please don't tell me its one of those hero villain team up deals." Flux said.
"I'm so obvious…' Hope said. "Look, despair put us here with these guys so that we'd break under the pressure of Monokuma's Executions and these murders and fall into Despair to be used by him. Thats all he wants from me. But I've seen the other side of that, and I'm not afraid of it."
"Please. Its gonna take more that some killing game to fall into despair. Besides, I can't win if I got you. Besides, there isn't even any good murder stuff." Flux said.
They then heard an ear piercing scream as Makoto was screaming at the top of his lungs.
"That was Makoto. Oh god! He's in trouble!" Hope said as the two ran out of the room as fast as they could before seeing Makoto passed out on the ground. "Okay, he's fine."
"Uh...Hope." Flux said pointing to a blood covered doorknob.
Hope opened to find a knife stuck in Sayaka's stomach as she lied there on the bathroom floor dead with blood all over her.
"My god…!" Hope said.
"I know. Why couldnt i have thought of that?" Flux said as he examined her. "Yep. She's definitely dead."
"So now what?" Hope said.
"I'm glad you asked!" Monokuma said on screen. "Now, could everyone please report to the gym for a special little talk about what happens next."
They all arrived to the gym where Monokuma was already out.
"So, its finally happened. One classmate has killed another. One of you." Monokuma said.
"I know that. But how do we know which one of us did it? Shouldn't they have graduated by now?" Byakuya asked.
"Oh, its not that easy. The main attraction is still to come. Whoever kills a classmate must not be caught by any other student. Killing alone won't cut the mustard, the killer has to get away with it." Monokuma said.
"So in hindsight, since Makoto saw Sayaka's body, the rest of us have to figure out the killer." Rainbow said.
"After a murder happens, you are all granted a short time to investigate before convining to convict all those who remain. We call these debates...class trials." Monokuma said.
"A class trial?" Damien asked.
"The trials are loosely based on parliamentary procedures. Back and forth like a debate. If the guilty party is identified, then the rest of the students are safe while the blackened is punished." Monokuma said. "But get it wrong, I'll punish everyone except the blackened and that person will get to graduate."
"Uh...what do these punishments consist of?" Hifumi asked.
"Simple. They're...executions." Monokuma said. "I mean exactly it too. The electric chair, zap zap, poison gas, cough cough, torn apart like a paper plane in a hurricane! Hahahahaha!"
"OH...scary." Fluttershy said.
"Now hold on. I refuse to listen to any more of this crap." Junko said.
"Pardon?" Monokuma said.
"You heard me! As far as I know, the whole trial thing can get bent!" Junko said.
"Why you..! I must face this rebellion!" Monokuma said charging in before Junko stepped on him.
"You were saying?" Junko asked.
"Junko, no! Get outta there, now!" Hope shouted.
"Too late. She violated a school rule. Activate Spears of Gungnir!" Monokuma said as several spears pierced Junko all over her body.
"Oh my lord…!" Rarity gapsed.
"Not...gonna lie. This feels weird." Junko said before they retracted as she fell dead on the ground.
"I didn't wanna resort to that, but rules need to be enforced. After all...high stakes are high!" Monokuma said. "Good luck playing junior detectives. The trial will be underway shortly, so put on your thinkin caps and start case cracking." he added before leaving.
"Okay, spread out for clues and nobody accuses any one or we end up like Junko!" Hope said.
"We already know who it is. Sayaka was found in Makoto's room, so he's gotta be behind it." Toko said.
"Yeah. That does kinda make sense. He's the prime suspect." Mondo said.
"Well, we'd better start looking. But we already know who went and did it." Hifumi said as the students already left.
The only ones left in the gym were Makoto, Hope and Flux.
"Okay. Let's go over what we know already. The cause of death was a stab to the stomach with a knife." Flux said. "Other injuries are lacerations and broken bones in the right wrist."
"Lots of evidence was found already." Naoto said arriving. "Apparently Sayaka was attacked by someone in the room. We also checked the incinerator and found a scrap of a blood stained shirt and a broken glass ball. This was also found."
She showed a scrap of paper and written on it was 11037
"It was written behind Sayaka in her own blood." naoto said.
"Youre the only one who's investigating this properly. Why?" Makoto asked.
"I'm a detective, its what im supposed to do. And like I see with someone I met before, I know for a fact you're not the killer. And I'm not the one who's doing all the work. The Kirigiri girl was the one who found all of this." Naoto said. "Also, I believe you three should watch this."
She then showed them a disc with Sayaka's name on it. "It was found in her trashcan."
The three looked at each other as they went to the multimedia room where they saw Sayaka's idol group performing before showing them on the ground with Monokuma on the screen. "Now, why would this very popular idol group disband like this?"
A message then appeared.
'Graduate for the correct answer.'
"Wow. They got to her. They actually got some despair into her." Flux said. "Guess you wasted a speech, eh Hopeless?"
"I guess i was too late. But I cant let it get me down." Hope said.
"Hey. So listen, I'm bored out of my fricken mind so let's get this show on the road and start the trial." Monokuma said.
"Ah. And so we go to the moment of truth." Flux said as they headed to the trial area as they saw Kyoko walking past them.
"Either you figure out who is guilty or suffer the punishment that they so deserve." Kyoko said.
The students arrived in the elevator as it slowly moved down to the basement.
"This is it. A moment of truth. We either find out who did it….or we all pay the price?" Hope said.
