Many thanks to those who reviewed this fic...I really appreciate it a lot, and now the story gets deeper and suspenseful as this chapter focuses on Celestia, Yamada and Hagakure as they find themselves in a situation that is similar to what Asahina and Ohgami went though, in which the trio about to encounter trouble themselves and here they are about to encounter some characters from Danganronpa 2 characters...


Ch. 7: Ìshitsu Ranburu

The time now is 01:30, and the scene shifts to what appeared to be a posh mansion somewhere at the outskirts of town within the vicinity of Mt. Bandai, and the surrounding area appeared to be relatively peaceful, as there are no despaired citizens lurking by, and the mansion itself appeared to be deserted, as there are no light activated, and none of the despaired citizens appeared to take notice since they were too despaired to figure anything out, and opted not to bothered the deserted mansion and its surrounding area.

The scene zoomed closer to the deserted mansion, and soon it showed that while most of the place inside had lights turned off, the scene shifts to the main bedroom where Celestia Ludenberg is asleep, enjoying her slumber as she felt that she came back home after spending two years at the academy, and though she knew it would be short-lived, she still wants to feel her social life before getting forced to go back on the run knowing that most of Japan is in shambles given the amount of despair the citizens showed.

The scene shifts to the guest room where Yasuhiro Hagakure and Hifumin Yamada are asleep as well, and their room was slightly lit with a lamp, and they are having a pair of dreams where Yamada is dreaming of his mom, which he wished that he be reunited with her after escaping the academy, while Hagakure is dreaming that he won a lottery prize of 100,000,000 Yen and he is "swimming in cash". Even though they were dreaming, they appeared to be at peace after what they went through.

As the three academy students are sleeping, a flashback occurred on how they managed to get to Celes' mansion without giving themselves away to the despaired citizens.

~FLASHBACK~

After going separate ways from their classmates, Celes is heading towards her place when she noticed that Hagakure and Yamada are following her, she she tries to persuade them to go on their own, but the two begged her to take them with her as they are sort of afraid of traveling on their own, and she tries to intimidate them, with little success as they begged her to let them tag along with her much to her chagrin as they were persistent in getting her to let them come with her.

"Why don't you go and find your own family?"

"I can't!"

"We're too scared!"

"Geez...you got what you wanted...you're free...so go home and get lost!"

"We rather stick with you!"

"Please!"

"..."

"We're begging you!"

"Let us go with you!"

Seeing that she doesn't want to attract unwanted attention, as well as seeing that she might need some company, as well as to get the two boys to shut up, Celes eventually accepted their requests and lets them tag along with her and they walked the streets in a stealthy manner, and while walking the streets, the trio slowly hid behind an alley as they see several despaired citizens causing a commotion in the streets wearing "Monokuma masks", and the trio realized that they can't get across without revealing themselves after seeing a huge screen on top of a building showing Enoshima's broadcast urging the citizens to capture the escaped students alive and be brought back to the academy.

"That Enoshima can be shrewd..."

"She's a real whacko..."

"It's a shame...she's cute and a pretty model..."

"I guess her head is damaged mentally..."

"We can't get past those people without getting caught..."

"Man...I'm really scared..."

"You boys are a bunch of chickens..."

"What about you, Celes-chi?"

"Celes-dono...look!"

Turning around, Yamada saw "Monokuma masks" laid at an abandoned cardboard box, and Celes came up with an idea and took the masks, giving two to Yamada and Hagakure and told them to wear them, much to the boys' surprises, and are having second thoughts about wearing it but Celes mocked them for being "a pair of chickens" and said that she is willing to leave the two behind, and there Hagakure and Yamada begged her not to leave them and they reluctantly put on the masks, and the trio walked the streets and luckily they managed to get past the gauntlet, and soon they found a car and found a spare driving key hidden and they used it to drive their way, with Hagakure doing the driving and Celes providing the location.

After a few hours they arrived at the vicinity of Mt. Bandai and there the trio went ahead until they arrived at Celes' posh mansion, which appeared to be abandoned and when they arrived they parked the car and went inside, where they are fortunate to find some spare food supplies which did not expire and they ate and then later secured the doors and windows before deciding to get some rest so in the morning they can discuss about what to do next.

~END FLASHBACK~

The scene shifts back to Celes as she is sleeping soundly, where a smirk showed on her lips and she is dreaming of acquiring a lot of money and as she is basking on the dream, her dream was interrupted when the radio she is carrying (before escaping the mansion, Celes and the others were given radios by Ikusaba so that they can coordinate with each other since all communications are down) began blaring, and Celes was irritated at the interruption, and is about to turn off the radio until she heard the voice speaking, and to her surprise, it was Kirigiri's voice, reaching out to Celes.

"Celes...can you hear me? Come in, Celes..."

Celes reached the radio and spoke to Kirigiri, asking her why is she calling in the middle of the night, annoyed that her wonderful dream was interrupted, but she would soon become concerned when told of the reason behind the call, in which she revealed that Enoshima sent her conspirators after the escaped students through a tracking device that was secretly placed inside the electronic student ID that they carry, and though Celes wanted to disbelieve at first, she was persuaded to do so.

"Are you serious, Kirigiri-san?"

"Take my word for it!"

"Come on...maybe you're just..."

"I've confirmed it myself! Mine and Fujisaki-san's electronic ID have tracking bugs, and though we managed to send it to another direction through our means, we still can't stay...and by now your pursuers may be near your place of stay...so you'd better do as I told you if you want to survive!"

"Really..."

"Just do it!"

"Fine, fine..."

"..."

Using a toolkit in her room, Celes slowly disassembled her electronic student ID until she finds the tracking device and told Kirigiri about it, but she was advised not to destroy it so that they can be used as a decoy to confuse their pursuers, and there Kirigiri advises Celes to wake up Yamada and Hagakure then make their escape to another area, as Kirigiri stated that she and Fujisaki are about to leave, anticipating that they too may have been traced to their current location.

"Where would you want us to go? It's already close to 2 am!"

"You'll have to outrun your pursuers and keep your radio open! I'll try to contact the others and establish a meeting point!"

"So we'll have to go on the run?"

"Better than getting recaptured and subjected to another mutual killing!"

"Geez!"

"Celes-san!"

"Alright! Alright! I'll wake up the two boys!"

"Then hurry up!"

Celes then went to the guestroom and tries to wake up Yamada and Hagakure, and while Hagakure was roused from his slumber, Yamada was still asleep and she tries to rouse him physically, until Yamada murmured in his dream, proclaiming that Celes is his "wife", and dreamily asks her to bear children for him, and there Celes was agitated and grabbed Hagakure's crystal ball and smacked Yamada on the head until he wakes up as Hagakure urged her not to use his crystal ball as a weapon.

"GGGAAAHHH! I RATHER DIE THAN BECOMING YOUR WIFE, YOU FAT-ASSED DOUJINSHI MANIAC!"

"WWWWAAHHH! CELES-CHI...DON'T SMASH MY SPARE CRYSTAL BALL!"

"LET GO OF ME!"

"KUWATA-CHI ALREADY SMASHED MY FIRST CRYSTAL BALL WORTH A MILLION YEN! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER!"

"THEN HELP ME WAKE UP THIS PIG!"

"YAMADA-CHI! WAKE UP ALREADY!"

"WAKE UP, YOU PIG!"

"WWWAAAHHH! CELES-CHI...CALM DOWN!"

As the two boys are fully awake, Celes told the two to disassemble their student ID's and though they question her on why they would do that, she urged them not to ask and do it, in which they did, and soon Celes confirmed that the two boys' electronic student ID's were indeed laced with a tracking device and she took the devices and looked around, where she saw a stray cat and entices the cat with sweets and the cat took it, where Celes uses a ribbon the fasten the tracking bugs on the cat and had it ran away, and there she told Yamada and Hagakure that they are going to head off to another location, in which the two boys are alarmed when told about what Kirigiri told Celes about the recent situation.

A few minutes later, they peered through the window and saw a dozen despaired citizens wearing Monokuma masks are gathering near the mansion, but then they seemed to have shifted their attention, in which Celes smirked as her plan worked, as the cat that Celes took in earlier was leaving the scene, and the despaired citizens began following the cat, and in a matter of minutes the coast is clear, and the three academy students are getting ready to leave when several farm animals, mostly chickens, began flying their way through, smashing the mirrors and are heading towards the three.

"Huh?"

"Chickens?"

"What the heck?"

"We're under attack!"

"By chickens?"

"Whatever...we're heading for the garage!"

"Wait for us!"

"Celes-dono!"

"Hurry up, you slowpokes!"

By then someone entered the mansion and appeared in front of Celes and the others, and he is revealed to be Gundam Tanaka - the Super High School-level Breeder, and with him are several other animals, such as geese and pigs, in which Celes flinched in shock and disgust, and there Gundam urged the trio to surrender to Enoshima and despair, which the trio realized that he is one of Enoshima's conspirators.

"Surrender, may targets...you will live to tell...otherwise...my fellow gods will attack you..."

When Celes said that they have no intention of surrendering, Gundam then proclaimed that he will take them down, and ordered his pet geese to go after them, and the geese began flying around, pecking Celes and Hagakure and fired pee and excrement, as well as eggs, and Celes shrieked in annoyance and disgust, but in his zest, Gundam did not notice Yamada sneaking behind him and was clocked by Yamada, who smashed Hagakure's crystal ball on the head, and then urged Celes and Hagakure to follow him as they ran off towards the garage to reach for the car.

As they arrived at the garage, Celes opened a water hose and doused herself with water to remove the stench and stain on her clothes with Hagakure trying to get some water as well, and the two are seen arguing over the water hose.

"Hey!"

"I need water too!"

"I'm using it, you Afro-brat!"

"I'm stinking like a goose!"

"Wait for your turn!"

"Hurry up!"

"Let go of the hose!"

"Come on..."

By then several persons showed up, wearing cardboard-like armors that make them look like card soldiers from Alice In Wonderland, and another teenager appeared before them, dressed like a princess from a foreign country and makes herself look majestic and the trio realized that she is another conspirator of Junko Enoshima, and she is leading the men to ensure the academy students' capture.

"The princess is here...and you will surrender...in the name of the mighty Enoshima!"

The teenager is identified as Sonia Nevermind - the Super High School-level Princess, and she is poised to capture Celes and the others in a bid to earn Enoshima's admiration, though she is visibly displaying the look of despair, and soon the Monokuma-masked "card soldiers" surrounded the driveway and Sonia gives the trio the chance to turn themselves in "peacefully" and give in to despair, in which Hagakure is panicking and hid behind Celes as she tries to lie her way out by trying to bribe Sonia.

"Say...how about you work for me...?"

"...never..."

"I can make you rich..."

"I serve only Enoshima..."

"You can serve a better person than her..."

"I serve only Enoshima...and despair..."

"Are you really that serious?"

"Despair...like me..."

As Celes verbally distracts Sonia, Yamada then saw a fire extinguisher and stealthily grabbed it before opening fire, spraying the extinguisher and disoriented the despaired intruders, giving Celes and Hagakure the chance to get inside the car and start the engine, with Hagakure urging Yamada to hop in, and the Super High School-level Doujin Artist jumped inside the car as Celes stepped on the pedal and the car rammed through the car, killing a few of the despaired Citizens and drove away from the mansion, and Sonia was not pleased and despairingly ordered her "soldiers" to go after them even though it is impossible now as they have no vehicle to use to chase their targets.

"After them! Off with their heads!"

The scene shows that Celes is driving the car though she tries to keep calm as she is starting to feel the pressure and steadily drives the car in a moderate speed in order not to crash the car, and there she came to a stop as she orders Hagakure to drive, which he reluctantly agrees, and as the driving resumes, Celes took the radio and contacts Kirigiri in which the two girls discusses about their next course of action when told that Kirigiri and Fujisaki are on the run as they narrowly evaded their pursuers by leaving their previous hiding place 20 minutes before their despaired pursuers arrived.

"So you're on the run as well?"

"Yes..."

"So what now? I have no idea where to go next..."

"Try to find a place to hide...away from prying eyes...I'm contacting the others...and then I'll call you back..."

"And I thought that I get to get some sleep..."

"Better to be careful than sorry..."

"Geez..."

"..."

Kirigiri told Celes to try and lie low for now and find a place to hide as she is sure that Enoshima would be aware of the tracing bug on the electronic handbooks of her classmates, and told Celes that she will contact her again once she managed to convene with the others as she already alerted the rest about the tracking devices, and Celes sighed as she would get to "camp out" on the streets or some place away from prying eyes, yet she had no choice as she does not want to get caught nor go back to the academy where Enoshima is waiting for her captives..

To Be Continued...


Hope you liked the chapter of this fic, and though it showed mostly about Celes and the two boys, it did show some suspenseful moments, and a but of comedic effects, as Sonia and Gundam appeared to try and capture their targets, only to lose them...and Celes and the others are now making their way out, just as Asahina and Ohgami do...

Looks like Kirigiri and Fujisaki are on the run as well...and this leaves Togami, Fukawa and Ishimaru as the only ones not shown, along with Naegi, Maizono , Kuwata and Ohwada, though you can assume that they may be alerted about the tracking devices...more on that in the next chapter...


Preview:

The next chapter shifts to Togami and the others, as they make their way out of Tokyo after seeing that their hiding place have been overrun by despaired citizens...
