So we have arrived at Chapter 2! First off before I move on I like to address the reviews I have for my previous chapter.
Wow at your review Luckenhaft. That is easily the longest and most humorous review I've ever had for a story so far (and quite the active imagination you have), as I found it both pretty thoughtful and entertaining. Thank you. As for all of your points, I assure you, that this chapter somewhat addresses them. Kind of. But I'll try to comment on what I can.
You're definitely right that they wouldn't simply let Mukuro go just as is, to Towa City. So we'll see how they plan to keep tabs on her in this chapter. Also the Yukizome thing will definitely be addressed (as well as two other individuals) in this chapter as well. Fukawa, Togami, and Hagakure aren't going to go down to Towa City at least as of right now. But keep in mind I may change my mind later, and incorporate them somehow (no promises, as I hate to be the person who claims something will happen, but it never does, so I'm not promising anything).
I do want to note I generally planned out the story in general, so a lot of things I have taken into consideration in general (hopefully). Things are generally set in stone, so to speak for the most part for this plot.
Next up is 1995hzq who brought up Yukizome. That is something that will be addressed as it is something I did take into consideration prior to writing this story, during planning.
From ShadowDeath01, I'm glad you are enjoying this story, as for the relationship that both of those characters have, while it won't be the primary focus (Mukuro and Komaru's developing friendship will be the overall focus, though Makoto will be the biggest one after somewhat in terms of general relationships), it will be a thing to an extent and definitely noted in general throughout it. (Maybe when I get around to writing Danganronpa 3 IF as a sequel after this story is done, it'll be a bigger thing... maybe. I'm not promising anything yet just to be clear.)
So I want to say thanks to everyone who has reviewed, and had been reading the story so far, so I hope you guys like this next chapter. I was lucky to get this out when I could since normally I'm so busy, as I work at more then one job at the moment. Enjoy!
Some time had passed since Class 78 were rescued by the Future Foundation. All of them had slowly readjusted to life in their headquarters and become members themselves. All of Class 78 became part of the Future Foundation's 14th Division (which was public relations; spreading news of Future Foundation's activities to the public) for the organization in general. They have also all become acquainted with the other Division Heads of the Future Foundation besides Kyosuke Munakata and Kazuo Tengan.
Mukuro in particular was very wary and familiar with three other particular members. One being Chisa Yukizome, who would always act different towards her, acting even more motherly, as Mukuro felt extremely mixed about, due to a certain meeting in the past, where she and Junko got very "involved," with her for despair related reasons, when Mukuro was still working for Junko. Mukuro wasn't surprised that Chisa had yet to mention this to anyone, though perhaps it was because what she and Junko did to her, that led to her silence on the matter so far. Mukuro hoped it would stay that way. She knew that Munakata would basically go ballistic had he ever found out, how she was involved with what happened to her exactly. She wasn't in the mood to be making things more difficult at the moment, then it already was.
The next person was Juzo Sakakura. Whenever the two would cross eyes and meet in general, Juzo would still his tongue out of pure determination and frustration, as she and Junko were related to a past incident in regards to him, before The Tragedy occurred. He however decided to act civilly as best as he could around her, as Mukuro was aware of a secret that Juzo had in regards to Munakata and he wanted that secret to remain one. He begrudgingly decided to keep quiet, though it killed him on the inside, that he couldn't punch her to death already, waiting eagerly for the day to give him the reasons and excuses to do so.
The last Division Head member Mukuro was familiar with was Ryota Miterai (who was the Ultimate Animator), who was in charge of the Future Foundation's 10th Division which handled reviving education and culture. He was a person she was also aware of, due to meetings in the past, as the young man proved to be very fearful of her, and kept his distance and mouth shut about her and the past in general. Fearful Mukuro would take any action against him in response if he did bring up the past in anyway. Miterai played a role that had helped Junko achieve The Tragedy, and he also wanted that to remain secret to the other Future Foundation members, seeing how hostile they were in regards to anything or anyone that helped make the world a despair filled hellhole, which was another reason he remained quiet. She kept her connections with these three Division Heads, secret from her classmates as she didn't want to make things more complicated than it already was, considering everything that has happened in general. For now it was best for her to keep things as simple as possible and for as long as possible.
Mukuro, along with Makoto were now in a meeting with the rest of Class 78, as they were finally ready to begin Mukuro's plan for Towa City in the future. They were all dressed in suits and formal attire in general, each seated in the meeting room where they originally met Munakata and Tengan, with each other. At the moment, they were all discussing three big topics they had to get out of the way before the rescue operation involving Towa City could begin. They started off by discussing one particular big issue regarding the plan to rescue their loved ones from Towa City that Mukuro kept arguing for. The first topic they were discussing, was Mukuro wanting to go to Towa City, solely alone. She didn't want to involve any of her classmates (especially Makoto), but some of them insisted to go as well. Mukuro kept insisting she wanted to go to Towa City alone, but they kept arguing to her, not to do so.
"You shouldn't go alone Mukuro," Sakura said concerned.
"I want to go alone," Mukuro answered back with no hesitation.
"What happens, if something happens to you? I don't think Junko is just going to let anyone just easily rescue our loved ones with no resistance whatsoever," Taka asked.
"She probably has all those killer Monokuma robots at Towa City as well," Leon added. A Monokuma was a half white and half black bear based robot, with its right eye being a normal black one, and it's left one looking like a red horizontal spiky stripe, and had big bulging white belly buttons with an X on them, that Junko had tons of in Hope's Peak Academy. Monokumas could be manually controlled or AI controlled on their own, and were deadly little machines as they had sharp metal bear claws and sharp metal teeth.
"And perhaps more dangerous and deadly things waiting there as well," Sayaka added concerned.
"I won't let anything happen to me," Mukuro stated calmly.
"But that's not a guarantee though," Asahina said concerned.
"I'll make it a guarantee," Mukuro said also with full confidence.
"Don't be fucking stupid! You're not a superhero or some bullshit like that," Mondo yelled, annoyed by what he was hearing.
"You're right. I'm not. I'm the Ultimate Soldier," Mukuro answered back.
"I think what Mondo means is… everyone here is still human, even if we're all really good at something," Chihiro said feeling concerned as well for her.
"Yeah. Plus, even super heroes can have weaknesses. Superman has one, when you consider stuff like Kryptonite and all," Hifumi added, trying to lighten the mood.
"I don't have weaknesses," Mukuro stated, causing some frustrated sounds to emerge from some of the other classmates in the room.
"Honestly, even if that was true, that doesn't mean the odds aren't still against you, especially if you choose to go alone," Celeste added with a sigh.
"Stop being so stubborn," Byakuya simply stated, sounding annoyed.
"Yeah! What Master Byakuya said! You shouldn't defy him you know!" Toko added, while everyone else in the room either rolled their eyes or pretended they didn't hear that. Toko had since then revealed inadvertently that she had a big crush on Byakuya, during their time being part of Future Foundation. It didn't help that Toko would sometimes go on about her fantasies about him, causing whoever to be in the vicinity of her while doing so, to have very mixed reactions. Mukuro simply sighed herself, as while she understood where everyone else was coming from, she simply did not want them involved. She then decided to remind them of some things.
"When I was serving in Fenrir, I never took an injury at all during my time there." Mukuro stated. "Out of everyone here I'm the most qualified to go to Towa City,"
"While that might be true, that doesn't mean you never took an injury during combat before," Kyoko pointed out.
"You… you took some hits when you were fighting off those Monokumas, when we were still in Hope's Peak Academy," Makoto said quietly, while Mukuro looked away from everyone, hearing that from him as it was technically true. "We just don't want you to be hurt Mukuro,"
"I know and… I thank and respect you all for that." Mukuro said quietly back. "But going alone is something, that isn't even something I want to do. It's something I… need to do. If I involve you all anymore in this, I just won't feel right,"
"Sounds good to me!" Hiro said out loud, while everyone else either looked at him with either an annoyed, awkward, or blank expression from what they just heard, depending on the individual. "What? Some of us can't fight at all!"
"What would motivate you to go then, you big chicken?" Asahina asked annoyed. Hiro thought for a moment, before he answered back.
"If someone wrote an autobiographical novel about me, saving people at Towa City! It could become a best seller, and help me pay off my debts!" Hiro said with a big cheeky grin, while everyone else just sighed, groaned, or remained quiet at that comment.
"You do know, that the whole point of an autobiography is that the person writes about themselves, right?" Celeste said with an all knowingly tone, as she rolled her eyes at the comment she heard. "Having someone else write about them, it would then be called a biography,"
"Plus, there are way more pressing matters to be taken care of at the moment! You should be ashamed to prioritize money over the world at the moment, Hiro!" Taka scolded as if he were Hiro's guardian.
"How many damn times do we have to go over this. Your debts don't matter anymore, with the whole world going to Hell!" Mondo shouted with rolled eyes.
"I don't think people value currency much, if at all at the moment. At least over other priorities," Chihiro quietly added.
"Well… even if money still mattered, if you wanted someone else to write about you, then perhaps Toko? She is the Ultimate Writing Prodigy. She could probably write a biographical novel about you," Sakura suggested.
"No way! I rather write about someone staring at paint drying all day, then write about crystal ball brain here!" Toko replied annoyed while Hiro looked annoyed at her. "He can get Hifumi to write something about him, if he wants it so bad!"
"Hmmm… it would be a fun scenario possibly," Hifumi said as he pondered the suggestion, while Hiro looked at Hifumi with a big grin. "Hiro here in general has a lot of fun stuff to write about, even if I doubt all of it actually happened to him,"
"Dude, you're actually taking it seriously?" Leon said surprised at what Hifumi said.
"I was being legit, when I told you I got abducted by aliens one time, when I was going home after getting some fast food!" Hiro whined at Hifumi. Sayaka however cleared her throat as everyone's attention was drawn to her.
"We should all probably get back to the main topic," Sayaka reminded.
"Agreed. That tangent was just a waste of even more time," Byakuya added.
"Moving on, if it makes you all satisfied, I've thought of a compromise," Mukuro suggested as they all looked towards her.
"Compromise? What do you have in mind exactly?" Sakura asked, wondering what Mukuro's compromise was going to be.
"I'll bring people to Towa City with me to assist me, when I go to there. But none of you. It will be different people," Mukuro answered back. Everyone looked at her curiously, as that wasn't the answer they were expecting from her.
"Who do you wish to bring exactly with you?" Kyoko questioned, extremely curious about who Mukuro meant.
"Any other Future Foundation member, worker, and so on. Anyone from the Future Foundation organization besides all of you, that wants to go with me to Towa City to help me save your loved ones," Mukuro answered. Everyone else looked at Mukuro with uncertainty, wondering if this was really the best plan. "I won't let any of you get involved anymore then I already have. I absolutely refuse. So please… please let me do this. I need to do this, not only for all of you, but for myself as well,"
Everyone remained silent, thinking over what she just said. After some time had passed, Makoto decided to speak up.
"If this is what you truly want Mukuro, then alright. I support you in your decision. Just please be safe," Makoto said softly, as Mukuro nodded to him, feeling her stoic face feel a bit softer, just from hearing those words from Makoto. Then again, hearing Makoto always speak in such a way about her, made her feel that way.
"I will," Mukuro said, with a very subtle smile, she showed to him.
"Make sure to contact Headquarters here during your mission at Towa City, if anything happens or if there is something that you need to inform any of us," Kyoko reminded, as Mukuro turned to face the lavender haired girl and nodded in agreement with her. "I think it's time we move onto the next topic. Chihiro, you said you wanted to show us all something, today right?"
The young petite man nodded, as he briefly left the room, then came back holding a suitcase, and sat back at his chair on the table. He opened the suitcase up, and everyone stared curiously at what was inside it.
"You wanted to show us all... a megaphone?" Leon asked, really confused by what he was seeing.
"Do you have anything more you want to announce, this time really loudly, besides the whole you're actually not a girl, and a guy who dressed up as a girl when we were at Hope's Peak Academy?" Hifumi asked comically and confused as well.
"It's not a normal megaphone," Chihiro answered back calmly.
"What makes it not normal Chihiro?" Sayaka asked with curiosity.
"Well before I can explain that, I need to explain something else first. First, I need to explain how all the Monokumas are programmed from a software program that… Junko apparently took from me," Chihiro said slowly, still feeling bad about that.
"It isn't your fault Chihiro. It's not your fault at all," Asahina said, trying to make the gentle boy feel better.
"Indeed. Don't trouble yourself with guilt. The blame falls onto Junko," Sakura calmly stated. Chihiro hearing this, felt better and nodded towards them, as he then continued speaking.
"So, I was thinking of a way to fight against the Monokumas. Since I know their software program, inside and out, I thought of a way to defeat them. And this device is a way to fight back against them besides just normal fighting or weapons," Chihiro explained.
"Do you scream at a Monokuma with it, till it blows up or something?" Hiro said, still confused by what he was seeing.
"Nope. Despite it looking like a regular megaphone, it's actually what I call, the Megaphone Hacking Gun," Chihiro explained.
"A Megaphone Hacking Gun?" Taka, stated feeling somewhat confused of what he was hearing and seeing.
"Yep. Basically, it can fire programming codes in an electromagnetic wave, allowing it to hack into the target's mechanisms from a distance. Depending on the type of programming code fired, it can have a different effect on Monokumas." Chihiro explained. "Like I can show an example of what I mean. Does anyone have an electronic on them, they're willing to get rid of?"
Everyone looked around till everyone's eyes fell on Makoto. He took off his digital watch and handed it to Chihiro. Chihiro then placed it on the middle of the table in the room, and then took hold of the Megaphone Hacking Gun.
"I'm really sorry Makoto. I'll make sure to get you a new one later," Chihiro said feeling bad for his friend.
"Don't worry. I can get a new one," Makoto said to reassure him. Chihiro nodded to Makoto and the next thing he did was fired what appeared to be a blue electrical sphere of energy at the digital watch. Before they knew it, the watch blew up and broke into pieces.
"Holy shit!" Mondo shouted, seeing the watch just blow up like that.
"That was crazy! Something straight out of the future or something!" Hifumi praised as everyone was surprised by what they saw.
"It also affects electronics in general besides Monokumas, which makes it pretty versatile," Kyoko deduced, as what she saw demonstrated just that.
"I suppose appearances can be deceiving. In this case, a megaphone being a deadly weapon," Celeste praised as well.
"And that was just one of the types of electromagnetic wave bullet. It has seven other types of electromagnetic wave bullets I also developed as well. Some of them being combat related like the one you just saw, and some of the others for other purposes," Chihiro explained excited and happily. "The blue bullet you all just saw being used are what I call, break bullets which cause targets to want to self-destruct and break themselves,"
"What are the other types then?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Well there are also yellow paralyze bullets which causes the electronics to electrocute itself instead of just breaking. It be pretty useful if a bunch of Monokuma were standing in water for example and you hit one of them. One shock bullet, more than one Monokuma destroyed. Another type are red burn bullets which cause anything hit by it to overexert itself, overheat, and ultimately catch on fire," Chihiro explained. "It also has cyan knockback bullets, which cause any Monokuma hit by it to be knock back. Like their AI will tell themselves to fling themselves backwards,"
"Huh. Go figure," Hiro said as he as he imagined a knockback bullet hitting a Monokuma with a bottomless pit behind it, being flung into oblivion.
"Another is to cause a Monokuma to start dancing with pink dance bullets," Chihiro said kind of embarrassed.
"Why does your hacking gun have something like that as a bullet?" Celeste said, feeling a bit confused by what she just heard.
"It was one of the first electromagnetic wave bullets I programmed, just to see if it would work. I kind of kept it because I think it could serve as a good distraction in certain situation maybe," Chihiro explained. "Another is the green move bullets which I made as another early example as well as a test. I kept them in, because maybe there will be situations one needs to activate electronics or electrical devices, which move bullets do,"
"Like if the light switch was off, and you shot a move bullet at it, it turns the lights on?" Leon asked.
"Exactly. And the final bullet I made so far, are the rainbow link bullets. Those bullets allow you to direct Monokumas and make them move where you want to go," Chihiro explained.
"This gun sounds extremely powerful and useful. Great job Chihiro," Makoto praised, to which Chihiro smiled at hearing.
"Does it have its limits?" Mukuro asked, concerned and curious.
"Sort of. Like how do I explain it… basically the Megaphone Hacking Gun requires energy whenever you make a shot with it, and depending on the kind of electromagnetic wave bullet you use, it can take more or less energy for what it is. Once all the energy is used up for a type of bullet, it needs to recharge over time. Some bullets recharge instantly though. Some can fire a lot more shots before having to recharge, and some can have few shots in general before needing a recharge," Chihiro answered.
"How does it recharge Chihiro?" Sayaka asked curiously.
"Well it's powered by a kinetic battery, so it uses motion energy. All someone needs to do is give it a lot of motion, like shaking it, to help it recharge," Chihiro said. "It's good for the environment as well!"
"Sounds perverted," Toko mumbled under her breath quietly, as she imagined someone shaking a Megaphone to recharge it.
"So, it ultimately never runs out of bullets," Mukuro said, pretty impressed by it. "Though personally I think I'll stick with the live ammunition and my personal knives. Very useful invention still,"
"Thanks," Chihiro said with a happy grin.
"How many do you have made Chihiro?" Hifumi asked. "If we have a ton of those Megaphone Hacking Guns, the Future Foundation could easily fight back against Monokumas easily in the future and we be set, at least for that!" Chihiro's happy grin turned into a pondering expression, as he thought over his choice of words, before answering Hifumi back.
"Well the thing is… this one right here is the only one so far I've made. It's more of a prototype then a final version. It still needs more field data and testing in general before I can start making more," Chihiro answered back.
"Towa City can also be used as a way to test this prototype out then," Byakuya noted, as Chihiro nodded back to him in agreement.
"If Towa City really has our loved ones being held there, then I wouldn't be surprised if Junko has her Monokumas there, if that's really where they are being held," Chihiro said.
"If that's the case, I'll take it with me to Towa City when I go in the future soon. I'll try to use it, along with my other weapons." Mukuro said. "Well I guess we should move onto the last topic, before this meeting is adjourned,"
"You said you had one more thing you wanted to discuss, right Mukuro?" Kyoko asked.
"Yes. Basically, while I'm at Towa City, I have to wear this," Mukuro said, as she took out what appeared to be a small yellow smiley face pin. Everyone looked confused why Mukuro would take something like that out.
"I don't get it. It's a smiley face pin?" Chihiro asked confused.
"I wouldn't have fucking expected her to pull that out, that's for sure," Mondo commented, as it seemed like something Mukuro would not have on her normally.
"While it does appear that way, it's not just that. It's a smiley face pin that is also doubling as a hidden camera," Mukuro explained. "I'm going to wear it on my being the entire time, when I head to Towa City. It has built in memory for recording and also serves as a live feed for headquarters here as well. Don't worry as it's not currently on and operational yet, as I didn't turn it on yet, so nobody has seen or heard anything from us, from this meeting,"
"But why do they want you to wear a camera?" Sayaka asked curiously.
"It's because they don't fully trust me," Mukuro answered bluntly. Everyone else remained silent upon hearing this from her. "It's their way of keeping track of me, as they think there's a chance I'll go rogue or I'm going too end up betraying them, or something along those lines. If they ever see anything that makes them think I'm on the side of despair again, I basically become their public enemy once again. I don't blame them. If I were in their position, I do the same,"
"But that's a total invasion of your privacy Mukuro! They should have more faith then that!" Asahina pointed out, feeling annoyed from what she was hearing.
"Plus you helped saved us all from being trapped in Hope's Peak Academy," Leon added.
"They still don't care and I really don't have a choice in the matter. Munakata and the other Future Foundation Division members won't let me go on this mission to Towa City unless I wear this pin camera on me, the whole time." Mukuro answered.
"Does that mean… you still have to wear it, even when you have to go to the bathroom?" Hifumi said, thinking perversely, with drool leaking out of his mouth.
"PERVERTED PIG!" Celeste yelled out, with a glare that sent Hifumi hiding under the table, like a coward, while everyone else just sighed or remained quiet, not sure how to comment from what they just heard and saw from both.
"Anyway… maybe you can make an appeal to Munakata and the others? Try to convince them that's not needed?" Taka suggested trying to get back on topic, while Hifumi got back up finally and sat back on his seat. "An appeal to authority might work,"
"I don't see Munakata as the type of person to easily change his decisions," Byakuya commented. "Same goes for the other Future Foundation Division Heads for the most part. I don't think that's something that's going to happen, at least anytime soon,"
"That guy and most of the other Future Foundation Division heads are stubborn damn donkeys. There's no way they'll let her not wear that camera pin!" Toko added.
"It's all fine. I just wanted to bring this up because Munakata told me to tell you all. I guess he wants to really make everyone aware that I'm someone that isn't to be… fully trusted," Mukuro answered.
"Well I disagree. I think you've earned that right," Makoto said with a friendly smile while Mukuro looked away from Makoto, feeling a bit flushed.
The meeting soon concluded as this was the last major topic. It seemed it was decided that they would let Mukuro go to Towa City, taking Future Foundation people besides them, and that she would also bring the prototype Megaphone Hacking Gun with her in the future, and have a smiley pin looking camera on her. As everyone was leaving the meeting room, Makoto and Mukuro were the last ones in there. As Mukuro was leaving, Makoto said something to her that stopped her.
"Mukuro. Just know that you're not alone. All of us here care about you. We wouldn't have tried to stop you from going alone if we didn't," Makoto said. Mukuro stopped, when he said this. She then turned around to face him, as he looked at her with very concerned eyes. "And please be safe Mukuro, when you leave in the future soon. I don't want you to be hurt anymore considering… you almost died back at Hope's Peak Academy,"
"I know Makoto… I know. Thank you and everyone else," Mukuro said quietly, in an acknowledging way. She then quietly walked out of the meeting room, closing the door to it, but not before looking back at Makoto. The room now only had Makoto in it as he sighed and looked around, feeling something within him grow towards her. He soon stood up, and began to walk out of the room as it was time he left this room.
Elsewhere we see a really dark room that barely had any lights in it at the moment, except oddly candles. It currently had five particular individuals in it, as all five of them were kids, that could easily be attending elementary school, due to their age. Four of the five individuals were standing aside each other, while the fifth was sitting in what appeared to be a wheelchair judging by their silhouettes.
It was too dark to see them proper, but if you squinted really hard, you could kind of make out their silhouettes and a tiny bit of detail to an extent, at least of their heads. One had red hair that was slightly spiky with white headphones on his head, another wore what appeared to be a brown mask on his head and over his face, another had pink pigtails and was wearing a horned hair accessory, and the fourth had short light blue hair that was done in cowlicks in the shape of cat ears. The one sitting in what appeared to be a wheelchair, apparently had green hair with a red ribbon tied on the top. At the moment, nothing else could be seen of them, as their general beings still couldn't be fully seen due to being shrouded by the darkness the room was in at the moment.
"So Big Sis Junko talked to me recently, everyone," said sweetly from the childlike female voice from, the green haired one in the wheelchair.
"Oh really!? Why didn't she call me! I'm the leader!" whined the red-haired child, who sounded like a sporty young boy.
"I bet she didn't want to call me because I'm ugly," the child wearing the brown mask who sounded like a boy, in a slow tone and voice.
"I wish she called me more. It be so totes, if we both got to talk about getting something sweet together! Like ice cream!" exclaimed the pink haired child who sounded like a young girl.
"It doesn't matter who she contacted. Big Sis Junko clearly got her message to us regardless," scolded the blue haired child, a young boy who sounded like he took things seriously.
"That's right. And what she told me was… that she expects a lot of nasty demons showing up soon for her special guests she has staying in Towa City," said the green haired girl in the wheelchair. "And I say we give them a big warm welcome, when they finally come."
"I agree! I suggest we do some demon hunting with them!" the red-haired boy exclaimed. "Whoever scores the lowest out of us here, buys everyone else soda!"
"I bet I'm going to be the one who ends up buying everyone soda…" the brown masked boy said in a self-depreciating way.
"It better be really sweet! And the really good kind of soda, made with actual sugar!" the pink haired girl added.
"Soda or not, we better take this seriously. I won't let any demons get in the way of what we're planning," the blue haired one reminded.
"Then it's decided. When they come by, we'll make sure to give them all a very warm welcome indeed," said the green haired one warmly. The one in the wheelchair began to giggle, and the other four soon began to laugh in their own ways, their laughter being the only thing that could be heard in their location, unknown at the moment. However once they all stopped laughing, one of them took the moment to say something.
"Now, can we finally turn the lights on? I know you wanted to try out the sweet-scented candles, but they smell like smoke that's from a candy factory and I still hate smoking!" whined the red-haired boy.
"No!" whined the pink haired girl back. "Not till all the candle wax is gone! I want to get the most out of them!" whined back the pink haired girl.
"But I'm the leader! And what I say goes!" whined the red-haired child, as both him and the pink haired girl continued to have their back and forth. It seemed that despite these five being childish, they had big plans for the future. Big plans that were soon about to begin.
To Be Continued…
So how was that chapter? Notes as always.
1. Hiro wanting a novel written about him is referring to the light novel, Ultra Despair Hagakure, which is an unlockable light novel, that players of Danganronpa Another Episode receive, once they complete the main game. It's a light novel that's about Hiro's adventure in Towa City, that happen as the main game itself is happening. Seeing how this is an alternate universe to that, it's not exactly going to play out that way, but references and all.
2. The Monokumas were always built with the software that Chihiro made. In this universe, I thought it be fitting if he was the one who created the Megaphone Hacking Gun (which serves as the main weapon used by one of its two main protagonists of Danganronpa Another Episode as he would know what makes them tick, inside and out, so to speak to some extent). Also in this universe, there's only one so far, whereas they had more than one in the main universe
3. Of course, the five characters at the end will be familiar to anyone who played Danganronpa Another Episode and they'll be properly introduced eventually. There was some hints about how each of those five characters are like in general, though next note I'll give one in depth example of one.
4. The red haired one talking about how he dislikes smoke, is referencing one of his dislikes, which is of cigarettes which you can find out in his in-game profile in the game.
5. Toko is insanely in love with Byakuya, since Danganronpa 1. In Danganronpa If, Toko didn't have the chance to show off her love to Byakuya, so in this universe, it happened during the time after they were rescued by the Future Foundation. Also as a reference, Toko would constantly have fantasies involving Byakuya in Danganronpa Another Episode itself. However, Byakuya does not feel the same way.
6. So all of those Bullet types, are the types of bullets used in the actual game of Danganronpa Another Episode itself. Those are the eight main basic types that the Megaphone Hacking Gun can use.
So that's it for chapter two. As usual if you have anything you want to say, point out, criticize, and so on, don't be afraid to do so. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and the story so far. Looks like we're about to finally begin with Towa City itself soon! Till the next chapter!
