Welcome to the beginning of Chapter 2! So yeah, 2/5 traitors are revealed, and 22/24 contestants are still alive. Lets do it!, but first
StrangerToTheWorld - Thanks! I've always wanted to write a total drama danganronpa story so i figured why not.
Epifanio Therion - thats actually where i got the idea from, upon watching chapter 1 on you tube it seriously inspired me to make my own kind of story featuring that kind of idea, but mine isnt for the same reasons as theirs so its original and different, good eye though mate :)
EndeavorT - I can't tell you how many times it took me to get the members I want right, I cant tell you HOW MANY TIMES, but I finally got there in the end, obviously I can't tell you, but I'm interested in the reasons you believe its them :)
Mike sat awake in his room. It was evening after the class trial for Lindsay's death, and Mike obviously couldn't sleep. He flipped over in his bed, and looked back at the closet. Monokuma could've burned this entire room, and replaced it with a new one, considering how clean and undamaged it looked, but that moment when Mike found her body in the closet will be etched into his head forever.
Our society is called vengeance, and you're trapped here exactly as our name suggests, because we want...vengeance.
Mike couldn't stop thinking about what Alejandro said. As if he didn't have enough of a reason to not trust everyone here, he'd just been handed an even larger one

"Good Morning bastards, it's another beautiful day so let's give it a good hard day of work!" Monokuma Announced over the PA.
"Damn bastard." Mike mumbled, as he woke up out of bed. As he turned the door, he turned back to the closet one more time, giving it a look. Before finally walking down the corridor into the kitchen.
In the seating area only Brick, Beth, Samey and Trent were present.
"Morning soldier." Brick saluted, as the others only shared a friendly smile, in silence. Mike grabbed an apple from the kitchen, and sat down with the rest of the group. "So...where's everyone else?" Mike asked, trying to break the awkward silence.
"What do you think?" Trent spat, staring down at the sandwich on his plate.
"After what happened with Alejandro and Duncan, everyone's scared to be around anyone else..." Samey sighed.
After that, the whole table went silent again.
"No! I refuse that to happen! If we want to escape, the entire platoon needs to work together! Its the only way!" Brick slammed his fist onto the table.
Mike just rolled his eyes in response. But somewhere, he admired Brick's will, and resolve to keep fighting the good fight, but Mike didn't want to hear that right now, so he got up, and returned back to his room.
"Attention all students, please report to the large metal grate at the other end of the hall!" Monokuma announced.
Mike groaned in disappoint, "I literally just got back to my room." He muttered.
"I don't care Mike, go!" Monokuma announced again before signing off.

"Why the hell are we here..." Scott muttered.
"Great question farmer boy!" Monokuma praised, appearing out of nowhere, causing a few gasps and flinches.
"Stop doing that!" Jo screamed.
"Anyway," Monokuma continued ignoring her, "Since you completed the first trial you've made a step up in the game!" Monokuma cheered.
"Game?" Shawn spat, "some sick twisted game."
"Yeah well, happy exploring!" Monokuma said, before disappearing. Shortly after, the giant grate began to slowly ascend, allowing access to the stairs.
The students shared a few glances with each other, as if to ask should we go. Mike sighed, and pushed his way through the group to the top of the stairs. "Anyone else who feels like coming, feel free to join me, if not, I don't care anyway." He summarised, before walking off.
"Wait." Mike stopped and flinched, to see Dawn standing right behind him.
"Stop-!" Mike then paused, and froze.
"Something wrong...?" She asked.
"No...that just feels very familiar..." He explained, and they didn't speak of it.

The first room to be opened up by the gate was a library, the biggest library I've ever seen.
"Dang, I really wish I got into reading." Mike commented, trying to start a conversation with Dawn but she said nothing.
It's like the worst sidekick ever...
"Hey Mike." Dawn began, as he turned his head to her.
"Can you promise me you'll stand by my side throughout this entire ordeal? You're the only person I truly trust here." She added.
Mike was left speechless. "...I promise Dawn." He nodded.
"Thank you." She stated, before continuing on in the library.
"She's a weird one..." Mike muttered, before following her.

The next room to be opened up was a Computer Lab, and surprise surprise who was the first person inside it.
"Hey guys! Finally, a room I like in this school!" Cody commented eagerly searching on the computer.
"How's it going Cody?" Dawn politely asked.
"Well, this isn't as much fun as I'd hoped, but beggars can't be choosers." Cody shrugged. "Seems like everything's been pretty much wiped from all of these computers."
Mike suddenly got a pretty bright idea. "Hey Cody, you're the Super High School Level Hacker, correct?"
"I'm pretty sure I am."
"Right, so...can you see if you can restore any of the information Monokuma's tried to hide from us?" Mike asked.
Cody's eyed suddenly widened. "Actually, that's a genius idea." Cody commented, "I'll get started right away." And with that, he went back to the computer.

"I can safely say I'll probably never use this room." Mike commented, as he already acknowledged Brick and Jo going at it in the school gym.
"Hey guys, having fun?" He asked.
"As painful as that stupid ass bear is to deal with, the facilities in this school are top notch." Jo squeezed out, in between deep breaths.
"I respect any soldier who can keep up with my abilities." Brick commented, before hitting the ground.
"Anyway...you should check out the swimming pool next door, not that I care or anything..." Jo then went back to lifting her weights.
Mike and Dawn exchanged a glance, shrugged, and walked out

"Its getting harder and harder not to like this place." Mike commented, in awe of the swimming pool, complete with diving boards and a sauna room to the side.
As Mike and Dawn walked over to the sauna room, they noticed the sign next to it.
"Out of service?" Mike questioned.
"Yep! So don't go using it ya bastards! You'll probably boil alive within 5 minutes!" Monokuma chuckled, appearing out of nowhere, causing Mike to flinch whereas Dawn stayed adamant.
"Ugh, just fuck off already!" Mike stormed off.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Monokuma joked to Dawn, but she was already gone.

Mike sat in the dining room, along with Brick, DJ and Scarlett, to the far side of them, when suddenly his Student-ID flashed.
Meet me in the AV Room ASAP, important. - Cody
Mike raised an eyebrow, before looking around and seeing the others were staring at their STUDENT-ID's as well.
"You guys got the same message?" Mike asked, and received nodded and confused looks, eventually they all headed out

"Alright Cody, why are we all here?" Courtney asked, as she sat down
"W-Well, Mike, Dawn and I were talking, and we realised I could use my hacking talent to see if I could find anything on the school computers. And...I found something..." Cody gulped.
The look on Cody's face, was of genuine fear, confusion, and concern. I could only imagine what he found.
"Hold on, Alejandro's not here yet, should we wait for him?" DJ asked.
"I didn't invite him." Cody simply said, the answer being obvious.
"Alright, just...let it finish first." Cody stated, before turning on the TV monitor.
what appeared on the screen was a calm lake, before some middle aged man in blue jumped into the shot, talking about some reality show.
"Cody what the hell is this!?" Heather asked.
"Trust me, just let it finish." He explained.
Soon, when the man was done explaining, an introduction began to play with theme music. When it was over, Cody paused the video.
"Wait...was that me?" Gwen asked.
"Why the fuck was I in that?" Heather questioned.
"Cody what the hell is this..." Jo asked, showing genuine worry.
"Ok so after digging around for a while on the computers, I found something, video files from a show called 'Total Drama Island', and some of us are in it..." He explained.
"B-But, thats clearly fake isn't it!?" Samey questioned.
"You see I don't think it is." Cody replied.
"And it is." Every head turned to the door of the AV room to reveal Alejandro standing against it.
"Seeing as you discovered it, I might as well tell you. This show right here? Thats 100% real." He chuckled.
"But...how..." Beth asked.
"Explain this already, you douche bag!" Jo screamed, grabbing Alejandro by the shirt, who simply pushed Jo off.
"I don't have anything to explain to you, now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to." And with that, Alejandro walked out.
"So what happens now?" DJ asked, filling in the void.
"Well, there are 26 episodes of this, if you wanna watch them all." Cody suggested.
"Well if we want more information, this may be our best way of doing it." Trent agreed, and everyone else nodded.
"But its nearly night time soon, and students aren't allowed in this room." Dave sighed.
"Good point, I have to finish transferring the last half of the season, so the day after tomorrow we can watch the entire show." Cody explained, as he shut down the monitor.
"Alright, for now lets go to sleep." Shawn yawned, and with that everyone left.

Yeah, I owe you guys quite the apology for creating this so late, but the good news is, my end of school year exams are over, and I'm really motivated to finish this story, and Total Drama Island: Reiminaged, so sadly Total Drama Redemption fans, that story is going to have to take the back seat for now.
But regardless, I hope you enjoyed and the next thing will be Chapter 8 of this story, toodles!
