Alright you guys, I return yet again to bring you another chapter to this High School of Despair story. I know that it was something a little different from me, but I wanna try some new things, but THAT does not mean I'm leaving out my other shipping stories that I care about so much! You'll be seeing those in the near future. But, in the meantime, enjoy the story kiddies!
DISCLAIMER!
I OWN NOTHING! I only own the OC's in the story!
"Like it or not kiddies, you're stuck in here until someone gets killed." said Monokuma as he was leaving. As he was walking toward the door, Tristan stepped in front of the bear.
"Yeah?! You wanna see death? How about I start off with you, ya overstuffed teddy bear!" Tristan grabbed Monokuma and picked him up from the ground. Monokuma had another plan in mind.
"heh heh heh... shouldn't have done that, genius!" Ticking was soon heard from out of nowhere until Akio heard where it came from.
"DUDE, THROW THE BEAR! JUST TRUST ME! DO IT!" Akio yelled out to Tristan and tossed Monokuma into the air and exploded. Everyone saw Monokuma explode into nothing until another one popped out from the pedestal from the stage as a backup.
"Should have warned you, but you prefer NOT to listen. If any harm comes to me, you'll be immediately executed, finished, dead, decapitated, anything that will kill you. Just try not to put your hands on me like that ever again!" he said angrily. "Let that be a warning to all of you!"
"This is just sick, you're a monster!" Tristan yelled.
"Oh! By the way, here! Something that you could put to use!" Monokuma tossed them shiny balls into their hands and as the glow dimmed, they were small notebooks. "These are what you will need during your time here. Your own digital Handbooks. To keep you guys in the loop on what's going to be happening around here."
"This was known to be the one place anyone would want to be at right now. The name of this school was known to be 100% Ironic. This was supposed to be a school of peace, but now it's about to become less peaceful than I could even imagine." Yugi thought.
Meanwhile, Tea and Joey were near the shutter gates as Joey would attempt to punch it open.
"Okay, give it a try." Joey heard her and punched the door with all of his might. The impact blew a soft wind through the gym, but the gates was shut tight.
"No good, I didn't even make a dent in the thing." Joey said as he shook his hand from the pain.
"Nothing here either!" Tristan told Joey. "We can't find anything here either. No switch, no button, nothing."
"Don't lose hope guys, if we can find a way out, we'll be able to go home!" Serenity told everyone.
"She's right, we just have to keep our heads up instead of losing all hope." Tea replied.
"I agree." said Mai.
"Yeah, it's better than being upset at the Snuggles Bear." said Mako.
"I'd prefer to search low." as Seto said that, the others were in complete shock.
"That actually a smart move?" Junko asked.
"I do, yes. Better than doing so since most of you are already planning out my death." As he said that, Joey stepped in front of him.
"Hold it there, rich boy! What makes you think you could do whatever the hell you want around here?!"
"Outta my way, you excuse of a dog." Joey became intensely mad as he cracked his knuckles.
"You wanna pick a fight now?! Well, you will regret calling me a dog!" Before Joey could begin to throw a punch, Yugi stepped in to stop them.
"Hold on a sec you guys!" the two turned to Yugi and listened to him. "Don't you think that last thing we want to do is beat each other up?"
"What?!" Joey retorted. "You trying to teach me a lesson? Telling me about teamwork?!" Yugi backed away from them as he was trying to explain until Joey was about to land a punch. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Joey punched Yugi right in the face, causing him to black out in a second.
As Yugi woke up, he was in a small room in a bed. He comes to and finds Serenity by his bedside.
"Whoa! Serenity!"
"Hey, your awake. "You alright?" Yugi saw the time on the clock and saw it was 6:00 p.m.
"Yeah, but wait, are we still-"
"Afraid so Yugi. This is your room. Turns out everyone gets their own room. I had Mai and the others carry you in here so you could get better. I stayed by your side to, I mean, I just wanted to-" Yugi held her hand to calm her down.
"I get it, but where is everyone?" Serenity blushed a little, but began to explain.
"Well, everyone has been turning the school upside down for hours, just to find a way out of this place, but I don't know if they found a way out yet."
"Serenity was known to be the voice of the students, always knowing what to say and how to keep everyone calm, but someone like her I would think wouldn't rememeber someone like me." Yugi thought.
"Well, Yugi, it's really nice to see someone like you here. Someone that I know." Yugi smiled and got out of bed easily. "You feeling better now?"
"Yeah, thanks for asking. Besides, I can't just sit back and let everyone look for an exit." Serenity grasped her hands into his.
"Yay! And don't worry, I'll be right by your side helping you along the way. We'll be like detectives finding clues." Yugi smiled from her remark and agreed. The two left the room and Serenity took Yugi to the cafeteria. As they got there, everyone else was sitting down frustrated not finding any exit out of the school.
"Hey, there he is. You doing okay?" Tea asked Yugi.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for your concern." Yugi sat down next to Joey as he was laying back.
"Hey, sorry about earlier, little guy. I was just upset, that's all."
"It's okay. Everyone is on edge right now. I don't blame ya." Yugi told Joey.
"So, now that we know there's no way out of this place, what can we do to not lose our heads?" Vivian asked.
"Right, listen up! We searched out the entire area of the first floor and this is what we got so far!" Duke took out his Digital Handbook and displayed a map of the 1st floor. "Okay, Joey and Vivian checked the entrance to the school."
"Man, this door is sealed up tight! It's like the thing is made out of Iron." Joey was kicking down the door as it did not budge once.
"It IS Iron, so that would make sense." Vivian retorted.
"Mai and I found a stairwell leading the next floor, but there is a gate that locked it down shut." said Tea.
"I tried to pick a lock somewhere, but sadly there was no lock on that gate to pick at all. Let alone bust it open."Akio heard what Tea and Mai brought up and he had a theory.
"I see, so the school locked down corridors to certain places for the time being for some odd reason for us not to get into."
"The Dorm rooms are good. Comfy bed, nice decor. Other than the cameras and bolts on the walls, I'd say they are delightful in my point of view." said Weevil.
"I searched the Kitchen and it looks like they have enough food supplies to feed an army. At least we won't go hungry." said Rebecca as Weevil interrupted again.
" I'm sure that food wouldn't last for 15 people. hehehehehehe...!"
"Quite the opposite, the fridge gets restocked every day, determined on how much food we consume a day. So, we'll survive on that. Monokuma even said so."
"What? The bear told you that?!" Junko asked as Rebecca continued.
"Yes, he popped out of the fridge while I was looking and then went back in before he disappeared." Duke scoffed to get everyone else's attention.
"Okay, anyone else have info?"
"Well, let's see, we have no escape, and we're stuck here like prisoners, and we have no info about our Principal!" yelled Ryou.
"Actually, we have obtained some information. We do know now about the boundaries that have been set for us. To put it simply, we will be here for a while." As Vivian said that, Ryou began to freak out as he clutched his head.
"That's just what Monokuma wants from us. Another attempt to try and have us kill each other." Seto told everyone.
"This is no time for jokes, Kaiba!" said Junko.
"AW MAN! What are we gonna do now?!" Mako yelled.
"I think I an answer to our solution." Akio spoke up and everyone listened in to his plan. "What we do is just live our lives naturally as we did before." Junko was disguted about that idea and replied back.
"So, we just suck it up and deal with this crap, is that it?!"
"When it comes to the game of survival of the fittest, the smartest and the dumbest have zero advantage. So, if I may, a suggestion to everyone."
"Oh yeah? What would that be, Ignota?" Tristan replied.
"If you look at the Student Handbook we were given by the bear, it shows the Night hours of when it's lights out for everyone on when we need to be asleep. In bed by 10 pm and up by 7 am."
"So what? We get a curfew. What's that even mean?" Junko responded as Akio continued to explain.
"To put it simply, we are supposed to be in our rooms by that time so nobody is able to kill anyone else."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ryou yelled.
"Think about it, the night hours are a killer biggest disadvantage here. So, if we stay in our rooms tonight, nobody will die and everyone is happy." Everyone figured out what Akio meant by what he was trying to say and Akio explained further. "So, if the curfew hours are enforced here, we should be obeying that order. So, we should get some rest now and wait till morning for a new idea." Akio had a fresh idea and everyone followed toward it and went back to their rooms to get some rest for tomorrow.
TWO DAYS LATER
"It's been two days now. We picked up where we left off. To search for a way out of this nightmare. Sadly, we didn't have any luck." Yugi thought.
Their third day in the school and so far, everyone has been getting frustrated on how they couldn't find a way out. They met up again in the cafeteria on that morning to discuss what they found.
"URGH! DAMMIT! I checked every part of the places to look and STILL come up with zilch!" Tristan yelled.
"Same here, I couldn't find a thing." said Joeey and everyone groaned in disappointment.
"We're trapped. We're never getting out of here. I can't stand another day in here!" Rebecca was about to lose it as she was wallowing in her sadness.
"Hey, come on now. Just stay positive. I'm sure there's police on the search finding us." said Tea.
"Really? You think so?" said Ryou.
"Yeah, It's been three days now, so someone HAS to know we went missing by now." As she said that, they heard a snicker from across the table. They all turned to see it was Monokuma.
"Sorry to burst your bubble there, Brunette. But, you aren't relying on the Law Enforcement. Like I said before, if you want outta here, I just gotta see some blood splattered." Everyone felt intimidated from hearing that. "I gotta give you kiddies credit, you got balls when it comes to keeping cool like a cucumber, but I'm really getting bored seeing you all like this!"
"What are you talking about?! If you think you want to try and make us kill, you are out of your mind!" When Yugi said that, Monokuma had a brainstorm.
"That's it! That's what I'm missing! I got the atmosphere right, the decor, the small space, I was missing that one thing!"
"What are you saying?" Yugi replied.
"I'm saying that you guys aren't getting physical with each other, so I thought I would give you guys some inspiration. Everyone report to the Multimedia room at once and maybe that might get your mojo going." Monokuma instantly disappeared as the group went to the Multimedia Room as he instructed.
The group saw a bunch of computers and in front of them were DVD's with each student's name on it. Yugi saw his and sat down. Everyone else did the same as they all put in the disc into the computer and began to play the movie. Yugi played his and it turns out it was a message from home. He saw his Grandfather and his older brother Yami.
"Yugi, I hope you are having yourself a great time at that school. It was a miracle to have made it into there. Don't try too hard, okay?" said Grandpa.
"Yugi, it's your brother." Yugi's brother Yami is like an older version of him, only with more intimidating eyes. "I hope you do great in Domino High. Just promise me you'll be safe." As Yami said that, the movie cut to black. Yugi was confused on what happened. When the movie came back up, the sofa the two were sitting in was completely shredded and the house in shambles. Yugi was in complete shock when his home was destroyed and his family gone. Everyone else had the same reaction to what they saw in their own personal movies. Serenity stood up and backed away from her computer, scared from what she saw as she screamed.
"Serenity, what happened? What did you see?!" Yugi asked her, but Serenity was too in distress from responding.
"Why did this happen to me? I don't deserve this... Why did I even get picked to be here?" While she was in her own world, Monokuma appeared on the main monitor of the room.
"heheheheheheh!"
"Who are you, really? And what are you getting out of all of our misery in this?" Akio asked Monokuma.
"Yeah, what am I getting out of this? Oh yeah! My payoff... is your despair...!" As Monokuma said that, Serenity screamed, then ran away from the Multimedia Room and ran back to her room. Yugi followed behind to stop her in order to calm her down.
"Serenity, stop!" Yugi grabbed her by her arm halfway across the hall as she tried to break his grip.
"NO! Let go!"
"Serenity, you have to stay calm! We're in this together! Like detectives, remember?" Yugi tried his best to calm her down, but broke into tears, crying on Yugi's chest. She sobbed uncontrollably while Monokuma heard her cries as he was mocking her, then continued into a deep laugh.
"I promise you Serenity, and I promise Yami, We'll get out of this place safe and sound..." Yugi said to himself.
Wow, what a huge turn for all of our students, but this is only the beginning of what's to come for these kids. Can they find a way out or will they end up murdering someone in the process to get an easy escape from this death hut? Okay guys, just leave your reviews on here and I promise you there will be blood. You can garuntee it. So, I better take off. See You Next Time!
