Chapter 2 – No where to run
"After looking for a way to escape in the gym we then figured out we were just wasting time and we should look throughout the school for clues"
Togami: I'll go by myself
Everyone: Huh?!
Hayato: Why?! I said as I was climbing down from the top of the gym.
Togami: Because there's a possibility that someone might already be planning to kill.
Maizono: But that's…
Togami: Impossible? He interrupted "There's no guarantee.
Oowada: Hold it right there punk! You're not getting away with being selfish!
Togami: Ha!Outta my way, Plankton!
Oowada: What was that? Looks like you want a nice beating. He said as he began to crack his fingers.
Naegi: Wait a second! What is fighting among ourselves going to achieve?
Oowada: Such admirable word. You trying to lecture me? YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO?!
Naegi: That's not what I… he said nervously.
Hayato: Dude! Chill the fuck out!
Oowada: TAKE THIS! He punches Naegi in the face with fierce force making him go unconscious.
Hayato: Naegi!
I quickly ran close to him to inspect him by sight
Hayato: What the fuck are you doing you piece of shit?!
Oowada: You want some too?!
Hayato: Bring it on you freaking wuss!
Oowada: Oh what are you gonna do?! Run away?!
Hayato: I'll show you how fast you can kiss the ground!
Oowada: Take this you shit!
Asahina: Stop it! That's what he wants! The person responsible for this! Please stop it already!
Hayato: … Shes right dude…
Oowada: *sigh* yeah… I guess, My bad Hayato….
Hayato: No problem man… I'm sorry too… We cool?
Oowada: I guess… *hand shake*
It turned out that everyone had their own room so we proceed on taking Naegi to his bedroom, we then figured out it was time to investigate, so we separated into groups and started searching for any possible clues we might be able to find, I went with Asahina and Sakura, After finishing searching for stuff we all gathered at the Hall to discuss what we were able to find.
Naegi and Maizono entered the Hall
Asahina: Are you all right Naegi?
Naegi: Yeah. Thanks.
Oowada: Yo. My bad Naegi.
Naegi: It's ok. I mean, given the nature of this situation, it's only natural that we'd be on edge.
Celes: Everyone's here now. We can safely assume that no one will commit murder in front of all these people.
Ishimaru: Let's get started then! I declare open the first regular meeting of Hope's Peak Academy! Let's exchange the result of our investigation and see what we've all come up with!
Oowada: I tried destroying the entrance, but that ain't happening, That thing is as hard as steel!
Celes: Of course. It is made of steel.
Yamada: The rooms in the dorm area were pretty comfortable! –So long as you can ignore the survillence camaras and steel plates, that is.
Fujisaki: The fridge was full of food. There's one thing less to worry about.
Yamada: But who knows how long's gonna last with 16 of us in here.
Hayato: Yeah and specially cause you eat what's equivalent to 3 people XD
Yamada: What was that?!
Hayato: I'm just kidding man XD
Fujisaki: No need to worry about that. Monokuma told me how the fridge was refilled daily.
Leon: What?!
Junko: You met him?
Fujisaki: Yeah. He suddenly showed up when I was checking the fridge out, and vanished into thin air soon after.
Leon: Dammit
Ishimaru: Is there anything else to report?
Asahina: Yeah, Sakura, Hayato and I found a stairway to the second floor in one of the hallways, but there was a shutter blocking our way.
Kirigiri: So at this point we are only able to check the first floor.
Hayato: You forgot something important, Asahina.
Asahina: What is it?
Hayato: There appears to be a controlling device on the top left corner of the gate.
Asahina: What?! I can't believe you noticed that! You are amazing Hayato!
Hayato: Oh Stahp you make me blush! :3
Naegi: So that means…
Hayato: Yes! The opening and closing of that gate is remote controlling, which mean the door will probably open at some point.
Kirigiri: Or we must do something the master mind want in order to open it.
Hayato: Exactly…
Ishimaru: Anything else to report?
Touko: We found neither the exit nor the culprit, your investigations were all meaningless.
Celes: But we did manage to confirm the undeniable fact that we are trapped in a cage without door.
Touko: AAAAAAHHH! What are we supposed to do?!
Togami: You heard what Monokuma said. If you want to get out of here you need to kill somebody, he said in a calm way.
Junko: Cut it out, it's not funny!
Leon: There's gotta be something else we can do!
Celes: Adapt
Junko: You meant accepting that we'll have to live here?
Celes: Is not the strong or the smart who survive, but the ones who can bring about change. Do you understand? Based on that, I have a proposal for you all.
Oowada: Huh? a proposal?
Celes: The school rules mention something about "Night Time." Let's add our own rule
Hayato: And that would be…?
Celes: One banning wandering around during Night Time. That's all.
Touko: Huh? Why?
Celes: Don't you see? Without that rule we'll have to spend every night cowering in fear. Worrying about whether or not someone will kill us. But unlike the school rules, we can't enforce this. It'll depend on whether you all cooperate or not.
We decided to follow that rule and started looking for an exit the next day and the day after, nothing… I'm just worried about how long we will be able to endure this.
Leon: Aw! Man we ain't gonna achieve anything by looking over and over by the same places over and over.
Fujisaki: Are we going to be trapped in here forever? Is nobody gonna come and help? She said with tears on her eyes.
Asahina: It's all right Fujisaki. I mean it won't be long until we get rescued!
Touko: What? Rescued?
Junko: Like really?
Asahina: It's been 3 days since we got locked in here you know, the cops have got to be doing something.
Monokuma: JAJAJAJAAJA! The cops?
Hayato: Gah! How the fuck do you do that seriously?!
Monokuma: Are you seriously relying on the cops? You know, if you wanna leave that badly just go ahead and kill somebody.
We all looked at him in an angry look.
Monokuma: I have to say that for an entitled generation, you guys sure have some balls. Don't you think that's a bit boring though?
Naegi: It doesn't matter how much you try to provoke us! We are not gonna kill-
Monokuma claped his paws and interrupted Naegi.
Monokuma: And here I was wondering why no one has committed a murder. Basically what you lack is a motive. On that note, I've left a gift for you in the AV room. Pupupu!
Naegi: The AV room?
We all entered the room and there was a a DVD for each one it had our name written , we inserted the disc on the CPU and put on the headphones that were on the computer.
The video started with a white screen it stayed like that like for about 20 second, I thought there was an error at first, but I noticed the time was still running on the video so I kept on looking at it, then suddenly the screen turned black and a red text slowly appeared, it said:
"Watch them despair…"
At first I was confused, I didn't know what was going on. It didn't took me long to figure out what the text meant. I looked at my classmates faces, they were all shocked, and frightened or scared to Death! I could see Naegi lose all of his hope in that moment. I thought to myself, "What is this?! I have to help my friends!" However the video didn't ended up in there, as I was to see how Naegi was doing another text appeared this time with a loud static sound that startled so much you don't have any fucking idea! The text said:
"Think you can save them?"
I thought to myself, "Of course and I will eliminate you!"
Another text appeared:
"How when you can't even save yourself…?"
After that text the static sound came back but…now…
"What the hell are these pictures!? What the hell happened to my house?! IS…THAT MY… MY…
FAMILY?!
I…I…I NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! NOW! NO MATER WHAT IT TAKES!"
-I was scared at an incredible level I was thinking of nothing else than getting out of there!
Then Maizono, screamed and ran away from the room, she was terrified her face was pale and Naegi ran after her, I wanted to catch up to them, but… my legs where not responding! I was shaking again! Then that static sound appeared again… now it showed a video:
It showed a beautiful background, there were mountains and everything seemed really peaceful, it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. As the video kept on running I saw the silluete of a guy in the top of a mountain in a wheelchair, as it came in closer to the camera his face showed up.
Hayato: …
Hayato: That's… That's… I said nervously
Hayato: That's me!
He proceded to jump off the mountain, I was just watching in horror, then the static sound appeared again and it said:
RUN!
I felt a chill going through my spine and started to sweat I just wanted to scream and run away! Then almost instantly after a picture of my dead body appeared with a screeching sound! After that everything turned into static and the video finished. I just couldn't handle it anymore! I fell from the chair as I was screaming!
Hayato! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! I Have to get the fuck out of here! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
My heart was accelerating at unimaginable levels, not even after a long race does my heart pounded so fast! My breathing was really fast too! I was so fucking afraid! I just wanted to run away, but I relised there was no way to run!
Asahina: Hayato calm down! It's ok! You have to stay strong!
Hayato: Stay strong?! I can't! I just can't Asahi…!
*she hugs him*
Asahina: I can imagine what you saw I probably saw it too, they are gone and I am trapped right…here, she said as she started crying.
Asahina: But I can't be weak right now! They wouldn't want me to be weak, that's like giving up I won't do that!
*Hugs her back*
I just needed those words to bring myself back to my senses, I decided I would not let Monokuma dominate me as one of its puppets.
Kirigiri: Who are you? What's your reason for doing this? What do you want to make us do?
Monokuma: Well I want to… MAKE YOU ALL DESPAIR! Pupupupupu!
Everyone was terrified the look on everyone's faces seemed as if they were disturbes, Kirigir, Celes and Togami where the only ones who were calm about everything the rest were just freaking out.
Hayato: Ha! Well good luck on that bitch!
Asahina had given me the strength to make a clear answer to Monokuma.
Monokuma: What was that?
Hayato: I said good luck with that…Bitch! Cause I ain't gonna be one of your puppets! I will not be dominated by you! And I… shall free my friends outta this cage and take you down!
Everyone gathered in close to me with a look of determination on their eyes, Naegi and Maizono then entered the room!
Naegi: That's right! No one's going to kill each other, and you're not going to get away with it! I am not losing hope because of you!
Monokuma: Oh some strong words from you Hayato. Even after watching that video you are still not frightened.
I grabbed my red vest and put on the hoodie in it.
Hayato: Ha! It's gonna take more than that to stop me from fighting for what's important to me…
FREEDOM FOR MY FRIENDS AND ME!
Naegi: Exactly!
Leon: That's right! I got your back bro!
Monokuma: JAJAJAJJA! Impressing but the real thing is that this speech is not going to change anything, you are still trapped in here and you don't know what others saw in their video, deep inside they still feel despair! And the need to get out of here is greater on others. Pupupupu!
Stop playing hero role cause you are as terrified as them.
Bye bye
*vanishes*
Hayato: …
Hayato: Monokuma… This isn't over!
I am not sure how people are feeling, some might be willing to fight, others might just act that they are by my side but their true intention is to gain my trust and stab me in the back others might even be planning to kill already. I can't let my guard down now! At this point anyone can be executed even I was considering in killing, until Asashina brought me back to my 5 senses.
Hayato: Asahina…
Asahina: Yes?
Hayato: Thank you
Asahina: No problem. Let's do our best to get out! ;) She winked.
Hayato: Right! Let's fight till the very end! We pinky promised.
"And that's how our third day ended, I'm not sure what others saw in their DVD but if it's similar to mine in any case it must be something really personal, and must be related to losing something important, either ways it's obvious that Monokuma is playing psychological games with us, but this time he went too far. I'm sure some of my classmates were really affected by the video and now their need to get out has increased drastically. I think these couples of days are crucial to know if somebody is actually going to kill somebody or perhaps… it won't even take days, maybe something could happen this very night when we all go to sleep."
