Thanks for the support, everyone! I already have 6 follows on this story! Honestly, I was expecting a less enthusiastic response, if not a non-existent one. Anyways, on with the story!
Looking up at the small stage in the back of the gym, there was a podium. Standing there was a frightening sight – a man, or what appeared to be an android, was standing there. I instantly recognized who he was modeled after; Chris McLean, the headmaster of Wawanakwa Academy.
He had the same hair, outfit, creepy smile and butt-chin as the headmaster.
That was where the similarities stopped. Half of him was a pearly-white-milky color, like rotten milk or hardboiled eggs (more accurately the rotten milk, as he also smelled weird). The other half was as black as the man's soul is said to be.
Over all, all of us were weirded out. The only exceptions were Dakota (she was still crying in the corner), Izzy (she was still yelling random things (apparently she's a genius and has an IQ of 188, although how accurate that is, I still don't know) while attacking her current victim, Scarlett), Scarlett (who was being attacked by Izzy) and Justin (for some reason he was admiring himself in the mirror).
The weird white-and-black robot McLean spoke up again.
"What's with the faces? Aren't you happy to see your headmaster? I'm McKuma!" He said.
I immediately spoke up. "First of all, you're a weird robot of Chris McLean, our actual headmaster. Second of all… what's up with that weird name?"
"It's not weird! McKuma is a great name!" He replies indignantly.
Gwen mutters something under her breath. "Not really…"
McKuma, hearing Gwen, looks very TOed at the moment. "Fine, I get it, weird name. Well, it doesn't matter, you two will probably be the first two to die, anyways."
Did… he just say die?
Everyone else's attention (even Izzy) is now fully centered on McKuma. I look at the people on either side of me. Beth looks terrified that the android confirmed her worst fear: people would be dying. On the other side of me, B (who had stepped next to me after Izzy left and McKuma appeared) looked very shocked and a little scared.
Creepy Chris continues. "Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you the reason you're trapped here! Yeah, you're all going to die. All but one. Because you're going to murder each other!"
Okay, I'll admit, I wet my pants after he said that. First we each black out, we appear in an armored version of the school, a weird robot appears, and now we find out we're supposed to kill each other? Yeah, not the best day ever.
I'm pretty sure all of us are speechless. I think a whole minute passes before someone speaks up.
Lightning is the first to speak up. "Did… you just say… kill each other?"
Chris-Kuma nods his head. "Yup! I guess I should tell you a few simple things about this little game, and about the school."
Did he just call this a game? That's sick.
Sam grits his teeth. "This is NOT a game."
McKuma rolls his eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. The rules of the game are simple. Every few days, I'll give you some ammunition to kill each other. Then one person – the blackened – will make their move, and kill up to two victims. After three spotless – those are the innocent – spot the body, there'll be an announcement on the school PA system. You guys will have a little bit of time to investigate, and then we'll have a trial! If the majority of the spotless vote that the blackened did it, than the blackened will be executed and everyone else will live on another day! However, if you all vote for the wrong person, the blackened will get to leave the school, and everyone else will… well, let's just say 'be punished', for now."
He… honestly expects us to kill each other? Is he joking?
"Some other rules are that you aren't allowed to harm me, the headmaster, or you will be eliminated from this game, and trust me, that's something that neither of us want. You also aren't allowed to sleep anywhere other than your dormitory, or it will be counted as sleeping in class, and you will be punished accordingly. In this case, I actually do mean get punished and not death, by the way. I'm not that cruel. Upupupu!"
He lets out another obnoxious laugh, one that could only come from my nightmares. Coincidentally, that's exactly what I'm hoping this is.
"Everyone has a key to their dorms. The showers in the girls' dormitories also have locks for some extra privacy for the lovely ladies!"
Gwen and Eva looked fine until he called them that. When he called them out, their cools tried to go out the window, but failed, since the windows are bolted shut with metal.
… Remind me to not make jokes in situations like this.
Most of us are in a panic, now.
The only exceptions are Izzy (who is either having a seizure, imitating a dying rabbit that has rabies, or trying to imitate the way a hippopotamus opens its mouth) and Eva who looks flat-out angry.
"You're kidding, RIGHT McLame?" Eva asks, clearly enraged.
The freaky black-and-white romance villain responds calmly. … Well, not really. "IT'S MCKUMA! And no, I'm not kidding! And even if I was, you couldn't do anything about it, unless you want to die right here!"
That gets the Trainer to clam up.
McKuma speaks again. "Oh, and by the way, we're going to start by giving you all some fuel to murder right now! For the first murder only, not only will the blackened get out if they can deceive the spotless, but they can pick a friend to save from death as well! Good luck everyone! And make sure to kill now, otherwise only one of you will ever leave."
And with that he leaves.
Yeah, I know, the McKuma is stupid. I was originally just going to be a Chrisbot, but that just didn't end up working. So, I figured, in the spirit of crossovers, why not combine Chris with Monokuma? And that didn't really end up well, did it…
Anyways, the first murder will happen sometime in the next three chapters (depending upon how long I make them and how long it takes to make them). And yes, murders will happen. What kind of fanfiction author would I be if I didn't kill people off?
Who do you think will die? Who do you think the blackened will be? Who do you think the mastermind is? And will Cody survive? Or is it his point of view because he's going to die first…? Who knows? Well, I do, but I'm not telling, so… tough luck.
