Chapter 4: ALL VS Mukuro

Mukuro went in the field first. 30 seconds later everyone else joined her, ready for the hunt. To be honest, they weren't sure if they will be able to do it. Even if she was alone against 15, she was still the Ultimate Soldier. The teams spread themselves through the maze, looking for the girl.

Junko was walking next to the two athletes with a wide grin.

"Don't worry girls! I have a plan. This game will be so easy. Once I take Mukuro out, you can all start to eliminate each other. It will be fun!" she chirped.

"But are you sure that it will work?" asked Sakura, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course! I'm her sister after all." she made a peace sign with her fingers before calling out loud to her sister, "Mukuro! Come here, I need to talk to you!" she shouted then whispered to her teammates, "Now you two go hide yourselves." as she shooed them away.

The duo did as she said and took cover behind some walls. Mukuro walked out of a hallway right behind Junko.

"Sis. You called?" she asked, making the younger twin spin around.

"Yes! I want to eliminate you, so stay still while I shoot y-" she got shot. Mukuro has her gun pointed at her chest, her face stoic as always, "You shot me? Your sister? You… Aaaah~ the despair… The betrayal~ Aaaah~" she started to moan and drooling a bit.

"Don't worry it's just a game, if it was real I would never do that." Mukuro said matter-of- fact.

"Aaand here's the deception." groaned the Fashionista, "But good job!"

"Thanks. Now if you excuse me…" she dashed beside her only to stop behind the wall where Sakura and Asahina were hiding, right beside them. "There's two other points to win here."

"Eek!" squeaked Asahina before getting shot.

The fighter immediately got in defense position and blocked all shots from the soldier with her hands, again. But Mukuro knew where to hit, she shot toward Sakura's forehead and by reflex, 'Shoryuken' blocked her face. When the silver haired girl lowered her hand, Mukuro was already behind her and eliminated her.

"Wow! That was great big sis!" chirped Junko not far away.

"Thank you. Now I'll be leaving." and like that Mukuro eliminated 3 out of 15. She left the others behind.

"That was impressive!" exclaimed Asahina, "Don't you think so, Sakura-chan?"

"Indeed it was. Now let's wait for the other outside." she responded with a smile.

Mondo was walking with Ishimaru and Fujisaki in a single line in an orderly fashion. The little programmer asked them where they were going, to which Mondo answered that he was going back to the sniper posts. Ishimaru froze, it was there that his bro betrayed him… Fujisaki bumped against his back.

"Ouch! Ishimaru-kun?" asked 'Programo' but when she saw his face, she took a few steps backward, "w-w-what's wrong?" she stammered.

"Eh? Yo! Taka! What's wrong?" asked the biker when he turned back to see what was going on, he approached his bro.

"You shot me when I asked for a truce before…" whispered 'SchoolRule', "It's a betrayal. I will punish you." He said plainly as he rose his gun towards his friend's chest.

"Wowowow! Taka, Bro! What are you doing?"

"It's just a game after all." and he shot his partner. Now it was his partner's turn to have his eyes and mouth wide open from shock. He then turned toward the little one shivering behind him, shock was also present on her face, hands over her mouth. She looked up with shaky teary eyes toward the Moral Compass, "It's just a game." he repeated as he shot her too. He left them there.

"Wh-what the fuck?"

"I think you created a monster…" whispered Fujisaki, wiping her tears away.

"I think I did…"

"What the hell? Mondo and Fujisaki are out?"

"Did Mukuro shoot them down?"

"Impossible, I'm right next to her!" Hagakure shouted before getting shot immediately after, "Aww man…"

"But this- this means that-"

"THE ALLIANCE IS BROKEN!" screeched Yamada.

"Ah finally." said Togami as he aimed behind him and shot his stalker who let out a little yelp of surprise. "This stupid alliance is broken, now I can go look for my target… Celeste." he seethed as he left Genocider Syo behind, still confused by what just happened.

Celeste teamed up with Yamada, they were now staring at each other, one with a poker face the other not very reassured about the fact that the alliance between everyone got broken by who knows who. The artist told her that he would follow her wherever she goes, but he was a bit scared of being eliminated by his teammate. She understood and wished him good luck as she turned her back to him. She said that she was just aiming at some rich cheater. The artist started to venture in the maze, focused on the original task: eliminate Mukuro. But now it will be harder with everyone turning against each other. He sighed.

Leon and Sayaka ran away from Mukuro the second Yasuhiro yelled his position right next to her. Once they made sure that they were far enough from the soldier they took a second to breathe.

"So… the alliance is broken… Leon, should we stay together?" the idol asked.

"..." the baseball star answered her with a playful grin, "well… I'm actually a bit pissed about how you shot me on the back during the first game."

"Oh? Really~?" she started grinning in her turn. "So what? Do you want to fight me?" she said.

"I leave you five seconds to hide."

And after five seconds they started to chase each other in the maze, laughing and aiming next to the armor intentionally, knowing that if one of them got eliminated this moment will end. Even if they were having fun, it didn't last long as a rich boy interrupted them with a sneer.

"Gross." spat Togami as he eliminated the couple before they could react.

"What the hell man? Couldn't you see that we were having a moment?" yelled and blushed 'Rockstar' at the blonde teen.

"Yes, and it was so cheesy it started to smell." mocked the Ultimate Heir with a grin, "Anyway, you two are out. Now leave." he said before turning his back at them and going back inside the maze, looking for his target.

"Wow, what a party pooper." sighed Sayaka, walking next to Leon.

"Yeah, 'Byakuyass' strikes again, heh?"

And with a shared laugh they left the playground.

Kirigiri and Naegi also heard the 'announcement' about the alliance being no more. Naegi gulped, he wondered who could have set fire to the powder but also hoped that the large team didn't go crazy so they could have a chance to beat Mukuro. He asked his partner if she agreed with him to at least stay a team of two. Her lack of response made him shiver. He leaned sideway to peek at her face, she had that playful smirk plastered on her face.

"K-K-Kirigiri-san?" he stammered, a bit scared.

"Naegi-kun… I will let you five seconds to run. Then I will chase you, I'm still a bit irritated about how you eliminate me in the first game. So-" she turned to face him but there was no one there. He was already running away from her. Her smirk appeared again, she could have some fun teasing her boyfriend for a little while. She started looking for him.

While Naegi was running away from his last partner, he didn't noticed the large form that appeared out of the corner. The impact sent the two teens to the ground, the luckster eliminating Yamada by accident during the impact. He quickly apologized about this and tried to explain his situation, which only made the 'GodofArt' more confused than he already was. 'DOOMGuy' tried to stand up only to hear the stoic voice of his girlfriend calling for him from behind. He spun but he got shot beforehand.

Kirigiri chuckled at the face he made, which was a mix of surprise and betrayal.

"Why?" he whispered.

"A little revenge." she smiled, "anyway, wish me good luck, I'm going to face the rest."

"I'm not sure I want to wish you anything after this." he teased with a grin that quickly disappeared as she looked at him in a serious manner. "Alright, good luck, Kirigiri-san!" he cheered.

She firmly nodded and left the two teens.

"What was that?" asked Yamada, still on the ground.

The two rivals finally found each other, the glare they sent to each other was so powerful that if they were in a manga, the world will be shaking. They approached one another, their laser gun raised and ready to fire. They stood still with less than 3 feet separating them. They were still glaring at each other. Finally the blonde opened his mouth.

"So… How do you want to end this? Like those plebeians that are our classmates or like the civilized people that we are?" he asked.

"Do you mean a duel?" asked back the gambler with drill hairs.

"Exactly."

"Back to back, 10 steps, draw, aim and shoot. Right?"

"Yes."

They got back to back and the Heir forbid Celeste to cheat, she scoffed as she started to count the steps.

"1…2...3...4...5...6...7…" Suddenly her armor vibrates as she got eliminated, she turned around and yelled:

"You cheating scum!" they both yelled at the same time but then they noticed the figure that was standing between them, Kiyotaka Ishimaru eliminated the two of them while they were doing their duel.

"What the hell Ishimaru?" seethed Togami, "Couldn't you see we were having a serious duel here?"

"It's just a game so you need to cool down." he plainly responded before leaving them.

"What is wrong with him?" asked Celeste, hiding her frustration behind her poker face.

"I don't know… But it doesn't matter now. Let's just wait for everyone to get kicked out by Ikusaba."

Kirigiri was once again between the finalists, and once again one of them was Mukuro. So she decided to go after Ishimaru before getting eliminated by Mukuro. She started walking down the corridors of the maze with extreme caution, unknowing that the soldier was in a snipping post waiting for the two of them to meet. It didn't take long for the detective and moral compass to find each other and quickly aim at each other's armor, and it took the same amount of time for the soldier to shoot them both from her post, winning the game again.

Once the three last contestants got outside, they were greeted by the rest of their classmates and all looked at the screen of scores.

"I win again!" smiled Mukuro while seeing the scores.

"Only because someone started a civil war." grunted the heir, looking at Ishimaru.

"At least it was a bit funnier don't you think?" smiled Mondo, "He really surprised me!"

After some time of rest, the majority decided to do some three more games but in a 'normal' mode, based on scores and not on life stocks. After the first game, they could see some behaviors they couldn't see before. Like Junko's mischievous behavior of following her attackers that shot her to shoot them in the back when her armor was activated again. They could see the teams that always stick together like Asahina and Sakura or Mondo, Ishimaru and Fujisaki. Then there was the couples that sometimes stayed together, sometimes shooting each other, Naegi and Kirigiri were an example. Mukuro was playing way more tactic since the opponents were not eliminated this time but she never missed the chance to set the traps when someone was trying to take a sniping role.

"Naegi! Do a 360 no scope!" exclaimed Leon.

"What?"

"Do it! Let's see how good you are!" Mondo exclaimed.

Everyone got their interest peaked as they all agreed for a truce and watch Naegi getting more embarrassed and red as his classmates looked at him.

"Do it! Do it!" chanted some boys.

"JUST! DO IT!" laughed Junko.

Naegi looked all around, more embarrassed than ever then sighed. The Sooner he'll do it, the sooner it will be done. He spun and shot six times.

"I shot six times. So?" he asked.

To his surprise, six people raised their hands: Leon, Kirigiri, Togami, Yamada… Junko and Mukuro! And the last two were on the balconies! Everyone roared in cheers.

During those three games, the top three was decide between Mukuro, Naegi and Mondo. Each one getting one of the three ranks once.

Leon Kuwata suddenly exclaimed that he planned some rewards for the top female player and top male player. The top female was without much surprise Mukuro.

"But what's the reward?" asked Junko, a bit jealous of getting nothing while her sister got something.

"I...I dunno yet. We can see later. But there's a problem. Naegi and Owada were both great player but I can't really say which one is the best." said the baseball star, scratching the back of his head.

Then everyone started to debate about which teenagers were the best: the lucky one or the gang leader one. Naegi told them that Mondo could have the reward but the later wasn't okay to win like this, so he challenged Naegi to a battle. Of course, the brunette froze in place when he thought it was a fist fight until the biker asked Fujisaki to switch back to life stock, three lives and only for them two to play.

"Alright Naegi! Three lives each! You vs me in the maze! Ok?" he shouted.

"F-Fine! But just so you know. I-I won't go easy on you!" Naegi shouted back, trying to be convincing.

The last game was about to start!

Tadaa! Next chapter is the last one:
Makoto VS Mondo!
Who will win?
Also, quick question, what do you want the reward to be?
