Chapter 3 Let Them Live

Waking up to the feel of soft cloth and blankets below his body Hinata woke up sluggish like and held his head. His body felt like he had been submerged in some heavy metal and it solidified. He had difficulties getting up from the bed he even fell out of the lush and strikingly comfortable bed. He hardly noticed just how comfortable it was until he was already on the floor. The royal looking rug seemed to cover the cherry wood floors. He got up sluggishly and held his head then touched his neck. The sudden memory of being shot by a tranquilizer hit him hard. The image of a woman he didn't know killing off all those armored people with more guns and knives than the average person should have. She took them all out like they weren't even worth her time. Looking at his surroundings he saw just how lavish and royal the room look he wondered if this was the type of room that Sonia slept in. Walking to the door he held his head and turned the cold gold knob and saw that the hall was almost like a hall in an average hotel. Nothing at all like the lavish browns and earthy royal coolers that coated the room behind him. He saw and heard some of the doors in the hall open up and familiar faces came out of them including some unknown faces too.

"Naegi-kun?" He asked his voice rough and Hinata looked confused at him. Naegi looked just as lost as the ultimate hope student.

"Hinata-san?" He questioned and slowly but surely the remaining classes that lived through Enoshima Junko's classes of mutual killing. Sonia Nevermind came closer to them holding her head like the sensitivity of the dim lighted hall was like the sun was in her face.

"Do any of you know where we are or how we got here?" She asked her voice was low and rough almost like it has been a year since she last spoke.

"No but that birch who shot us might know." It was the short gangster Kuzuryu who spoke up his vulgar word usage was proof enough he was furious as to how he felt about that. "She got me on the neck." He growled.

"Ours wasn't a girl who shot at us." Yasuhiro stated and Naegi nodded and agreed.

"And besides I don't think they were there to kill us maybe it was their way of bringing us to a safe place without us asking too many questions." It was Byakuya turn to speak. He held his chin trying to make a clear connection with what's going on. "It seems that our takers weren't here to take us and kill us. If they were then..."

"They would have done so a while ago. We've been sleeping for almost four days I have no connection with my phone but I can see the date with it at least. If they were here to kill us, why do it so late or even when they took us?" it was Kirigiri who interrupted him and pulled out a good question, but none of them had an answer to it.

"Let's see if we can find anything around here then." Naegi spoke and the group nodded. The students wondered for a while looking around the manor. As it turned out they were in the servant's quarters which explained why their rooms seemed majestic inside but the outside in the hall looked dull and mundane. Getting out of that floor they wondered around people from the working class liked Kazuichi, Hinata, and Naegi along with a few others were quite impressed by the high walls that was filled with regal reds and top of the line wood paneling with paintings that compliment it nicely. While Sonia, Byakuya, and Kuzuryu held a lack of wide eyes like some of their peers. When they heard a loud booths came from the third floor they had to quickly and quietly see what was up there. They still didn't know who was there and what they wanted with them. So they were cautious and mind what they walked on. When they came up to one of the rooms they heard voices in the room.

"Really Aki, did you have to make that loud ass noise we do have guest in the house." It was a girl's voice that came from the room.

"Says the woman who comes out of a battlefield and leaves her soot and blood covered clothes all over the place. Talking about noise and acting like you care anyways. They second they wake up you might be lacking in cloths and you still won't give a damn." An irritated male voice came in a chortle.

"Fuck you." The female voice snipped back at him.

"That's enough, both of you." A male voice came out but this one was softer and lighter unlike the deeper base voice that came from the room. "Look neither of you gives to shits on how they're going to react when they wake that doesn't matter now. What matters is helping me stitch and attach the rest of their limbs together. It took a their class two days to re-plump back their human skin and body parts now let's finish putting in their organs then stitch them up again. Once that's done we can begin the final phase. Now both of you finish up here. "Kasu finish him up he has the most patches." The voice ordered while the sound of large metal doors open and clothes.

"You think that's gonna bring him back to life. You've never done this before. You said it might not even work it's still in theory." The male voice chimed.

"Keep in mind once upon a time they very same thing was asked in our cases we wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for him to try. Or even me removing some of their pesky memories that will not be needed for now." The girl's voice replied and the sound of cloth being ruffled around was in their ears.

"You think that was wise. I mean you were in charge of taking him and his class you even said what he did since he didn't trust you. He saw you as clear as day and he didn't recognize you do you think it was necessary?" The softer male voice asked.

"Do you want to take that chance especially since He has better memory than Him?" Silence was the reply the students paused then backed away from the door. Asahina was the first to ask.

"What do we do now?" She asked looking at the others.

"By the smell in there it smells like corpses." Toko whispered she after all had one of the most dangerous killers as another personality in her she would know how dead things smell.

"Who were they talking about I wonder?" Hinata chimed in. "Who was this guy they were talking about?" Hinata really wanted to know.

"There was more than two." Owari shared. "They were talking about two different guys hoping they wouldn't know something." She finished. After constant conversation on what to do next Sonia was already by the door again and slightly opened it to peek inside. She covered her mouth to prevent a gasp. She saw a true mad scientist laboratory; beakers upon beakers of endless colors and bubbles with many tables that looked like they had bodies on top of them. The smell of dead seemed out of the room and into the hall making some of the other students hold their nose then they noticed Sonia's fixated gaze on something in there. Some needed up opening the door up a little to get a better peek.

"That's the girl who shot us." Kuzuryu pointed at the girl who was currently stitching up someone's body but they couldn't see who it was.

"Alright Aki he's finally done. Hopefully all goes well. Is everything alright with the cloning chamber?" The shorter male who was typing away at a tablet pulled the screen out making a hologram onto the machine.

"Yeah the last trace of his DNA is on the table. You know how to work this right?" He pointed out at the many covered bodies. The taller male was currently plugging some small and some large rods into their bodies. The girl nodded and looked at him.

"Alright, Kouki I can see everyone is ready play our song and let us begin." The shorter male had a wicked smile on his face as he pushed up his glasses and started to type away. A tune from a large radio played on for them as the other two started to pull down large switches. The girl was doing two things at once there were a sea of white covered bodies and some were stuck in their tubes. Both her and the man named Kouki started to type away in some of the tubes as fast as they could and pulling down new switches. It was all going so fast typing, arranging, and switching. While the shorter male was adjusting the levels of the hologram pushing and pulling at some kind of level, but that was when they noticed that the last switch that was important to the process. It was lacking in electrical power.

"Shit, Kasumi pull that line it's all the way in the hall." The base and the chime of the verse was loud and she tore over her large white coat and ran out the door pushing the group of students out the way.

"Move!" Her voice demanded and those who were on the floor moved out of the way and watched as she ran over to the edge of the rail and just as the bridge of the song came in she leaped as of the song was going perfectly with her running. She grabbed hold of a large chandelier and flung herself to the other side. With a large slam and a yell to pull the other switch the students of the two classes watched in mesmerizing horror as the short male with a maniacal look in his eyes flipped the switch. The bodies on the table jittered and shook almost like they were all getting electrocuted.

After what seemed like hours which was less than two minutes the horror was over and he flipped the switch. The music came down to its end and Kouki stopped it. The loud thud of the large chamber behind them broke the silence and then the sounds of tubes sliding open, and fingers smacking on the tin table then one body came jolting up and a large gasp for air. The students from the first class dog mutual killings instantly recognized the red headed male whose body was covered with stitched up scaring. He touched his face and body in horror. Then a girl's head popped up she was in the tube and she gripped her chest. Then look all over her bodies. Each head held the same horrid expression on their faces. Then like the sudden realization of all that happened to them came back to them and hit each of the familiar faces. They all screamed in terror remembering their deaths. All while Aki screamed and yelled in pure victory.

"THEY LIVE ONCE AGAIN!" He yelled laughing out loud then went to the chamber then opened the chamber to the cloning room and out feel a large beefy man who wasn't as large as the male in the tube but close enough. "AND MY CLONING MACHINE WORKS TOO!" He screamed happily more like a psychopath who had their first joyous kill.

The students from the class mutual killing and the class from the island of mutual killings saw those who failed the game that Monokuma forced on them, all alive scared but alive again. They all lived again but it wasn't the pleasant birth that it should have been this was a robbery of their deaths. This was a reminder that they either killed or someone they trusted kill them. This was a true slap to the face.

"It's time to live again." The girl said behind the stunned in terror students by the door.
