What is up everybody! I have returned. The MAN WITH IMAGINATION (echos) ain't done writing these stories for you. Because I want to finish this as fast as I possibly can before I have to go through things. So, without further delay, here's the next chapter. Enjoy

DISCLAIMER!
I OWN NOTHING! I only own the OC's in the story!


Everyone was still on edge after watching another one of their friends die right in front of them. It was the 1:00 AM and Tea was lying in her bed in tears after watching the massacre from earlier. She was not able to sleep after seeing the demise of Duke Otogi.

"I can't take this... I don't want anyone else to die... but I need to stay strong..." She was too afraid and yet, she got up, got dressed and went towards the kitchen. "Maybe some water will clear my head. And maybe a doughnut while I'm at it."

As she was walking, she saw a strange green glow coming from the Bathhouse Locker Room. As she peeked in, she went pale like she was looking at a ghost and screamed in fear.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING

The shutters opened up from the Second Floor of the High School to have the remaining students gain access to the Third Floor and unlocked some new rooms: The Rec Room, The Phys. Science Lab, The Art Room, and Art Storage Room. As the remaining students went up there, Yugi was lost in thought about the recent death of his friends.

"A new floor opened up because Rebecca was killed by Duke. Why is this mastermind doing this to us? Making us murder each other one after the other? The third floor opened up for us and we scoped everything out. The windows were barred shut up here too. This despair that was on our heads wasn't gonna go away anytime soon. As for Tristan, he's been real quiet ever since Duke's Punishment."

Everybody was sitting in the Cafeteria as they were tired from their search. A few minutes later, Monokuma appears on the screen in the Cafeteria.

"Hello Students, I want all of you to report to the Gymnasium at once! Don't dawdle now, I got something that may interest you."

Kaiba and Ryou were the first two to make it to the Gym before anyone else did.

"Man, you guys are fast!" said Joey.

"Say, where's the Thief King?" Vivian asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about?!" Ryou said as he tuned away from them.

"He ended up sneezing, causing the deadly Thief King to recede back into his mind. We're just waiting on what that Bear wants from us."

"Oh good, everyone is here!" said Monokuma as he appeared from the pedestal on the stage of the Gym.

"Well, what is it you want from us?" Kaiba asked.

"Let's see, I just got THIS!" As Monokuma said that, stacks of money began to rain on top of the stage in front of the Students. "100 Billion Dollars in cold hard cash! This is the reward to anyone who is able to graduate from this place! How does THAT sound?"

The Students were in shock from what they have witnessed. Mai stepped in and shouted "You think that you can just bribe us with money for murder?!"

"No matter what you do, we are NOT going to kill each other anymore. No matter how much money you throw in our faces!" Yugi told Monokuma as he laughed.

"Man, how many time do I have to hear that every day? Well then, enjoy the rest of your time in this school, kiddies!" Monokuma left along with the stacks of money that was with him as the stage descended below. Joey was in awe after seeing that much money.

"Whoever is even thinking of killing for that cash should just forget it!" Ryou shouted. Joey suddenly turned away and hummed to himself.

"Stop it!" Mai shouted. "Doubting your allies is not a good thing to do."

"Our desire to get out of this school is what that mastermind WANTS, which explains that fat stack we saw, which also means he is taking advantage of us." said Vivian. "So, we should all just live out our lives in harmony as usual."

"Agreed. If we let him get to us, there's no doubt that one of us may die." said Akio.

"Uh, guys..." Everyone had turned their attention to Tea. "Don't freak out when I say this, but I think I may have seen the ghost of Rebecca." Tea had followed everyone to the bathhouse Locker Room and told them she heard her from in there. Everyone looked around and Yugi and Akio saw an opened locker with a key in it.

"Look, a laptop computer." said Weevil.

"Could it be?" Yugi remembered that Rebecca was going to fix up the laptop before she was killed. "Why would it be here, of all places?"

"Didn't you notice what this room doesn't have? Look around." Akio had the remaining students scope the room and saw a difference to it.

"There's no surveillance cameras." said Yugi.

"Right. Monokuma can't see or hear us in this room. Which makes this place a good area to hide this." Akio said as he booted up the laptop.

'Hello, it's nice to see you, Master.' the computer replied.

"A GHOST?!" Joey and Tristan held each other in fear from seeing Rebecca's face on the computer.

"Calm down you sissies, it's just a computer." said Mai. Joey and Tristan regained their composure and stayed calm. Akio typed in a question to Rebecca's computer.

"Ignota: What are you?"

'Well, hello to you too. You can call me Alter Ego, an Artificial Intelligent program that was created into this computer. What can I do for you today?' Akio typed in another question for Alter Ego and asked.

"Ignota: What are you doing here?"

'Okay, lemme check the files here. One sec... OH! The encryption here tells me we're in Domino High School. Pretty tight security here.'

"At least we have some advantage against Monokuma." said Akio.

"Finally, some luck shining on us." Yugi responded.

"Better for us on finding a way out of this place." said Mai.

"It's so crazy though. It looks and sounds just like Rebecca." said Tea.

'Please, tell me. What happened to Master. Is she here?' The minute Alter Ego said that, everyone was in complete silence, but Akio typed down the answer to its question.

"Ignota: She was murdered by Duke Otogi."

'Oh... Well, I was prepared for this. It was only a matter of time...' While Alter Ego was upset about Rebecca's untimely death, Tristan walked up to the laptop and was in tears.

"You're still here with us... You never really died." he said.

"Oh, hello Tristan."

"Please, if you hate me, I can take it. I couldn't stop Duke from doing what he did. But, if you hate me, I'll take whatever harsh words you have." Tristan began to type a question to Alter Ego.

"Ignota: Do you hate Tristan?"

'Oh, I see... You feel like you were responsible for what happened.' Alter Ego had disappeared and began to show Duke's face on the monitor.

'Lighten up, Tristan. Don't go and blame yourself for something that was my fault.' Tristan was in shock to see Duke's face again. ''I made my own choices, man. And blubbering like wuss won't bring me back to life. It's not your fault. I'm my own man and so are you. If you wanna feel angry, fine. Just don't go marinating in it. Use it for something that's worth it. Just don't end up the way I did and you'll be a better person. Think about it, bro. Seriously.' Tristan still had tears running down his face like waterfalls. Then, he stood up and wiped away those tears and took Duke's words for thought.

'Man, that was tough. It took a while to put Duke's thought patterns into that type. But, I guess that's what he would have said.' said Alter Ego.

"I am just feeling like Duke wants me to do this. I have to push forward and put an end to Monokuma's sick and twisted game! I promise you Duke, I'll never give up the fight!" Tristan walked away from Alter Ego as Akio continued to type more questions for it.

"Ignota: Please continue analyzing these files."

"Will do!" she said. "OH! Before I forget, while I was analyzing the files, I stumbled upon a few photos. Here, have a look!"

Alter Ego began to show an image of Duke, Mako, and Rebecca having fun in the classroom together like they were friends. Everyone was confused on the image that was taken.

"This is weird! It doesn't make sense." said Yugi.

"I thought we were complete strangers to each other when we enrolled in this school." said Mai.

"Wait!" said Tea. "What if nobody is actually dead?"

"Of course, they're dead. We saw them get killed with our own eyes. It was either the dead corpse or their ACTUAL death." Akio responded.

"These photos have gotta be fake! The Damn Bear is messing with us!" Joey retorted. Everyone stood there in silence, but had to push forward and continue on with their day before Monokuma began to grow suspicions.

THE NEXT DAY

It was 12 o' Clock in the afternoon and Yugi was walking towards the bathroom until he heard a scream from the Bath House. Yugi quickly rushed towards there and saw Weevil apologizing to Akio for some reason and then ran up to Yugi.

"Please, you gotta back me up here! I wasn't going to try anything. I SWEAR!" Weevil cried.

"Explanation please Akio."

"I only asked him a simple question. I asked him why he's using Alter Ego after hours without permission."

"I get lonely sometimes, okay?! I just needed someone to talk to." Weevil explained. "It was late and I was too scared, in my own bedroom. So, I went to see Alter Ego and have a little conversation with her. Is that so wrong? Everyone always sees me as a freak."

"You do realize Alter Ego is a program, right?" said Tea as Vivian had to cut into the conversation.

"I know it's not my business but, that type of friendship isn't all too healthy for someone like you. Yes, we all are repulsed by you, but still..."

"All right already! I get it, but it's not like I have that many options!" As Weevil began to tell off Vivian, Tristan walks in from the Sauna in a towel wrapped around his waist, covering his lower half.

"I heard that conversation from all the way over here! And that Four-Eyes here did what I thought nobody couldn't. Alter Ego is mine, got it?!"

"NO! This is love! I'll have your head if you get in between me and the computer!" Weevil and Tristan had started to glare at each other until Akio stepped in to fix this situation.

"Enough! Both of you!" he said. "You can call it your "whatever", but Rebecca made this program for us and it MAY be our only way of getting out of here; it belongs to all of us. From now on, nobody is allowed in this room without permission, got it?!"

Tristan and Weevil continued to glare until they both turned away from each other.

LATER...

Yugi was relaxing in his room until he heard a doorbell ring at his room. Yugi opened the door revealing it was Joey, but he had a serious look, knowing that it had to be important.

"What's wrong Joey?" he asked.

"We need to go to the Bath House now. Everyone is waiting for us." Yugi and Joey headed straight to the Bath House and everyone was a little irked.

"The laptop has gone missing, you two." Akio told them as they walked in. Weevil began to get angry and yelled.

"I knew it had to be you, Tristan!"

"ME?! You probably took it and try to pin the blame on me!" The two were at each other's noses in a back and forth argument.

"If Alter Ego was taken, it would have let off a yell, but it seems someone found a way around that." said Akio.

"Seems like it's narrowed down to our least suspected." said Kaiba.

"Like anyone here would have a reason to take it out." said Tea.

"Deny it all you want." Kaiba replied. "But, like it or not, there's a Traitor among us."

Before Kaiba could continue what he was about to say, the bell goes off as Monokuma began to have an announcement.

"It's 10 PM kiddies, you know what that means! IT'S BED TIME! Nighty-Night!"

THE NEXT MORNING

Yugi, Tea, Mai, and Akio were sitting in the Cafeteria as they waited for everyone else, but had suspicions.

"Small group today. Where is everyone?" Yugi asked.

"It's weird, Kaiba and Vivian always show up before we do, even Weevil and Ryou, they should have been here by now." said Tea.

"I have a feeling something must have happened." Mai told everyone.

"Let's find them and quick." said Akio. "Mai, search the dorms. Yugi search the 1st Floor. I'll check out the 2nd Floor, and Tea, you search the 3rd Floor."

Everyone began looking for the other students. Akio had no luck finding anyone. Mai's search came up dry. Yugi still searched the 2nd Floor as Tea searched every room until she found Vivian lying on the floor in the Rec Room. Tea began to scream out as everyone gathered to her location. Tea checked the body and Vivian was still breathing. Everyone got up to the room as Vivian woke up.

"I'm sorry. I was careless." she said.

"What happened?! Who did this to you?!" Mai asked Vivian.

"I don't know, but whoever did it hid their face well and hit me with that." Vivian and the other looked at the object on the floor as it was a Mallet Hammer that said "Justice Hammer #1. "The others might be in danger, we must go and find them fast. They went left when I saw them as I blacked out from the hit."

"The left? it leads down the stairwell to the 2nd Floor." Everyone rushed down to the 2nd Floor to find the other students and Yugi finds Kaiba and Ryou in the hallway.

"Kaiba, have you seen Tristan or Weevil?" he asked Kaiba.

"When did we become babysitters for those two?!" said "Thief King" as Kaiba answered back "No, did something happen?"

"Maybe. But, we need to find them." Yugi followed the others to the Library and found Weevil getting up from the floor with his head busted open and his face covered in blood. As they saw on the floor, they saw another Justice Hammer.

"Weevil, are you alright?" Tea asked as Weevil cried out. "OW! It hurts. That Justice Robo hit me."

"This is no time to be playing your silly games, kid." said Kaiba.

"No, he's telling the truth." Everyone turned to Vivian as she continued. "I found this in the Rec Room. A camera. and it looks like he isn't lying." Vivian shows them the photo of the Justice Robo attacking Weevil.

"We have to find that robot before he kills someone." Tea cried.

"You guys go on. Is it alright if I go to the Nurse's Office to get myself patched up?" Weevil asked and Mai responded.

"Fine, but be careful. That robot could be anywhere for all we know."

Everyone split up to search for the Justice Robo. They searched the halls and the most common rooms until Justice Robo found Vivian in the 3rd Floor Stairwell. Vivian screamed from the top of her lungs as she fell on her knees. Everyone else ran towards her as she was still in one piece.

"I'm fine, but I saw Justice Robo head towards the Physics Lab."

"He's cornered. We got the culprit now." said Kaiba as The Thief King sneezed and changed back into Ryou.

"Oh, sorry. What'd I miss?" as he said that, everyone heard Weevil screaming.

"Weevil's in trouble!" said Mai. "Yugi, Tea, Vivian, go and check on him, everyone else, to the Physics Lab. Come on!" Everyone began to rush to their designated locations. As Kaiba, Mai, and Ryou got to the Physics Lab, they saw what they thought wouldn't happen. Meanwhile, Yugi opened the Nurse's Office and saw Weevil on the floor with blood splattered from his head.

"AH! Weevil!" Yugi cried out.

"By the looks of this, he's probably dead." said Vivian, but she saw another Justice Hammer that had the Number 3 on it this time. "Another Hammer, how is this possible?!" Just then, the monitors began to show Monokuma's face.

"BUM BUM BUM BUUUUM! Corpse Alert Detectives! You know what to do now! Investigate, then the TRIAL!" The monitors turned off as Tea fell on her knees seeing another one of the students dead. Vivian held Tea as she was close to falling.

"I'm sorry. I feel like throwing up right now."

"Calm down Tea. Yugi, find the others and tell them Weevil is dead." Yugi followed her order and went to find them in the Physics Lab. As he got there, he saw a door slightly open in the Lab. Yugi walked in and his face began to grow pale. He saw Tristan on the floor as there was blood on the back of his head and Ryou as well.

"Relax, Ryou just passed out from the blood." said Kaiba. "But, all we know is that Tristan is dead and the weapon was another Hammer. But, this one says '4' on it. We saw 1 and 2, but why isn't there a 3?"

"About that Kaiba, we found that one when we found Weevil dead in the Infirmary." As they left the Lab, Vivian was at the door out of breath.

"Guys, it just happened like magic." Everyone rushed to the Infirmary to find Weevil's body missing.

"Tea!" said Mai. "What happened?!"

"It was crazy. We were in the bathroom for a few minutes and then we find Weevil's body gone missing. It's like someone went and took him."

"Whoever the killer is, why would that person take the corpse?" said Kaiba. "Two murders just moments after another and then this happens."

"Wait, TWO murders?!" Tea shouted as Kaiba replied.

"That's right, Tristan is no longer with us. He's dead. We found him in the Physics Lab Storage Room." When Kaiba said that, Yugi realized something.

"Wait, we left Ryou back in there!" When they went back, Ryou was still asleep on the floor. Yugi sighed in relief, but Mai saw something suspicious.

"Yugi, do you see what I see?" Yugi looked and saw nothing, but a bloodstain.

"Now Tristan's body is gone!"

"Whoever is doing this is probably hiding the bodies?" said Kaiba.

"But, why would that person hide the bodies?" Yugi asked.

"It couldn't be one of us, so we'll have to ask that Robot when we find it." said Vivian.

"Think about it though." said Kaiba. "First, the timing. This started in a certain timely order, impossible for a SOLE perpetrator to do. Second, two of our classmates are missing right now, so it should be one of them."

"Hold on!" Yugi interrupted. "Akio was with us in the cafeteria the whole time. That was when we heard Vivian screaming."

"Well then, that'd give him an alibi." Kaiba replied. "Which means Katsuya is the only other person that could be the culprit. Which also means the rest of us are safe."

"Right. The rules state in the electric handbook that there can only be up to 2 victims per murder case." As they were talking, Ryou woke up as The Thief King awakened to take over.

"And if anyone thinks they can break rules can get Pureed!" he shouted.

"Let's make it clear that it wasn't you who could have done this." Kaiba asked Thief King.

"Like I would go after someone too plump as that. I only go for the best heirs, Pretty Boy!"

"Alright, let's find their bodies and fast." As Kaiba gave the orders, everyone searched high and low for Weevil and Tristan's bodies. After an hour of searching, Vivian was found at the stairwell.

"Guys, I found them..." Everyone followed Vivian and their bodies were found in the Art Room.

"This is awful. Who would do this to our friends?" said Tea. "They were innocent..." She began to cry as tears fell from her face. As those tears awoken Tristan being somewhat conscious. "He's alive! Please, stay with us!"

"ehh... The light, it's so beautiful... all of my friends... we were so close..." Tristan was on the near verge of death.

"Please don't go! Tell us, who did this to you?! We'll bring them to justice. Please, just help us find this person!" Tristan tried to make out words, but was trying to remember.

"I remember... I know... it was... Kase...hi...ga..." As those were his last words, Tristan was gone. Tea continued to cry as everyone was in shock to see a person named Kasehiga. As Tristan was declared dead, Monokuma appeared on the screens again.

"BUM BUM BUM BUUUUUUUM! Double Corpse Alert! You know the drill! Investigate, then TRIAL!"


Now that we lost not one, but TWO students, it's down to EIGHT! But, who would actually be responsible for this murder and whoever this "Kasehiga" person is, did THAT person kill them? We'll have to find out in the next chapter, but who knows when that'll be, am I right? Sorry that it took so long. But, leave some comments and I'll get back to this story soon. See You Next Time!
