Many thanks to the readers who reviewed this fic, and I really appreciate it a lot and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter in which most of the DR characters are scrambling around to stay alive as they attempt to get help...
Read on and see what would happen next...
Ch. 11: Sesshoku
Elsewhere, the scene shows that Fukawa and Komaru are running the streets and wondered if Ikusaba is okay, facing an elementary school boy who is piloting a huge robot that packs a lot of weapon, and while running Fukawa noticed the metallic bracelet that Komaru is wearing and asks her where she got it, and Komaru responded that Komaeda puts it on her and she does not know how to remove it, and right now Fukawa opted to worry about how to find Togami and rescue him.
"Togami-san is still inside that complex that I escaped!"
"Darn...and we are too far from that place!"
"What is going on here?"
"I'll explain later...just keep running!"
"But the other girl?"
"She'll catch up soon...just keep running!"
"EEEKKK!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, several Monokuma robots appeared, and Fukawa took out the stun gun, electrocuted herself and moments later she took on the persona of Genocider Sho and began fighting off the Monokuma robots, and while keeping them back, another Monokuma sneaked behind, fired a net, and captured Komaru, and she screamed for help and the Monokuma robot is about to take her away but Sho threw a scissors and struck the robot on the head, damaging it and Komaru got out, and there a teenage boy, quite roughly the same height as Komaru, came and helps her up and asks if she is okay, which she is surprised to see what appeared to be another survivor.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Here...let me help you up..."
"Thanks..."
"Glad I managed to find people who are like me..."
"Were you...a prisoner too?"
"Yup...and managed to escape..."
"..."
The teenage boy, who is 14 years old, tan-skinned, is identifed as Yuta Asahina, and she noticed that he is also wearing a metallic bracelet, and he told her that he was also taken captive and forced to do a video, and by then Sho defeated the robot and reverted back to being Fukawa, and urged the two to run and the trio began running away, fearing more Monokuma robots would show up, and if they get captured it would cause more problems for them and Naegi.

The scene shifts back at the library, where Fuhito explained to Maizono, Ayaka and Satomi about himself, the Kirigiri family, and why Jin chose to become Hope's Peak Academy's headmaster instead of becoming a detective, and how things went rather peaceful until an incident happened at Hope's Peak, which caused rioting inside the academy, and when the incident was leaked to the media, society slowly collapsed, and there Fuhito said he was taken captive and forced to do a video, and there Maizono told him the reason why he became a captive, and he, Ayaka and Satomi were surprised to learn from Maizono that they were forced to do the videos so that the Class of 78 students would be forced to commit murder in order to escape and save their loved ones.
Fuhito glanced seriously after hearing the story from Maizono, and couldn't believe that a talented teenager like Enoshima would act quite deranged and want to turn the world into a dystopian anarchy, and is quite relieved to hear that she was killed by her own hand, yet the chaos did not stop and told the teenagers that someone may have inherited Enoshima's psychotic will as he told her that the children riding the Monokuma robots are causing mass murder towards adults, and that more children were being corrupted into doing murderous deeds while wearing Monokuma-themed helmets and masks.
By then Fuhito asks Maizono how she came here and found her two idol members, and there she told him that she is a member of the Future Foundation and she happened to stow away and came here in secret, and that is how she found Ayaka and Satomi, and there she said that they need to find a way to contact Future Foundation so that they can come and help the survivors, and Kenichiro asks Maizono if Ohgami is at the base, which she confirms it and he nodded in relief.
"So Sakura is safe then..."
"Yes."
"That is good to hear..."
"So you must be the one Ohgami-san mentioned..."
"Yes."
"When we get rescued, I am sure Ohgami-san will be happy to see you."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
By then more survivors showed up and Maizono is surprised to see them as the ones who showed up turns out to be the members of the Crazy Diamond Gang, and Takeichi Yukimaru is leading them, and it turns out that the biker gang survived, and they ended up seeking refuge here at Towa City, and Yukimaru smiled at seeing Maizono again, and there he asks her how Ohwada is doing, and she assured to him that Ohwada is doing fine, and said Ohwada would be happy to see his biker gang alive and well, and both Maizono and Yukimaru were glad to meet up again.
"Its been a while, Maizono..."
"Yes it is..."
"Though I did not expect that you would end here..."
"Its fine..."
"Oh."
"Okay then...we need to find a way to call for help..."
"You're right..."
"Now listen up..."
Maizono then told everyone that they need to find a way to contact Future Foundation, and Yukimaru thought of something until one of the biker gang members came and brought out a laptop, which is still functional, and a portable radio, which he said that if they manage to find the right frequency, they might make contact on someone, and Yukimaru nodded and the biker gang began to disassemble the laptop and radio parts and began toggling them together, and created a makeshift device and began testing it, and after sometime they managed to get it going.
Fuhito then began toggling the frequencies until the monitor lit up and someone appeared on the screen, which turns out to be Kyoko Kirigiri, and there she appeared elated to see her grandfather and Fuhito is glad to see his granddaughter alive and well, and the two began to talk and he told her where he is right now and said that he is with some survivors, and there Kirigiri saw Maizono, and there she told her to stay with them as she is going to send help, but then Naegi appeared and spoke to Maizono, his tone filled with worry and relief upon seeing that she is okay.
"Maizono-san!"
"Naegi-kun..."
"What were you thinking? You made me worry so much!"
"Sorry...I'm sorry..."
"Never mind...just stay with the others...I will send help and get you all out of Towa City."
"Naegi..."
"Please stay safe...I don't know what to do if anything happens to you..."
"I'm sorry, Naegi-kun..."
Ayaka and Satomi blinked their eyes seeing how emotional Maizono and Naegi are while talking to each other, and after the communication ended, the two girls asks her if there is something going on between her and Naegi, and Maizono admitted that she and Naegi are dating, which the two idol members gasped in disbelief, as they did not think that Maizono would fall in love with a plain-looking boy like Naegi, as they assume that she is dating a handsome and famous guy, and asks her what did she see in him and what made her fall for him.
"Seriously, Sayaka...?"
"You saw him saving a crane from a swimming pool at Blackroot Middle School...and...poof...just like that?"
"Uh-huh...like that..."
"Really? Like love in first sight...how romantic...don't you think so, Satomi?"
"Come on, Ayaka! If the guy is a handsome celebrity...I might dig it...but an ordinary boy..."
"Ayaka-chan...Satomi-chan...settle down..."
"Its okay, Sayaka...you have my vote..."
"Still...I want to meet this Naegi in person...I want to judge him myself to see if he's good enough for her...Ayaka, you're going to help me..."
"Come on, Satomi...we should be happy for Sayaka..."
Ayaka and Satomi sweat-dropped after hearing how she fell for Naegi, and they wondered if there is somethong wrong with her, as they couldn't believe that Maizono laid her eyes on Naegi after seeing him save a crane from a pool at their middle school and yet the two girls conceded that Naegi is good-looking, and they decided to support her decision, and hoped that they would meet Naegi in person so that they would know if Naegi is a good person or not, and right now the survivors would have to wait until help arrives so for now they will have to stay put.

At Future Foundation, Kirigiri is at the conference room where she is talking with Great Gozu, and there the two branch leaders agreed that he would personally go to Towa City and rescue the survivors, and will take Ohwada and Ohgami with him, and two of Gozu's branch members, specifically Ohgami, were relieved to hear that Kenichiro and the Crazy Diamond Gang are safe, and Naegi volunteered to tag along, but Kirigiri told him he can't and advised him to let Gozu, Ohwada and Ohgami handle the rescue operation, which he appeared reluctant to comply.
"No, Naegi-kun...you stay here."
"But..."
"You are needed here."
"But, Kirigiri-san...!"
"Don't worry...Ohwada-san and Ohgami-san will go with Gozu-senpai...so everything will be okay..."
"I..."
"Have faith in your friends and classmates, Naegi-kun..."
"..."
Kirigiri can tell that Naegi wants to go with them because he wants to see Maizono, and she knew that Naegi is needed here, but then Gozu placed a hand on Naegi's shoulder and assured to him that he will do everything to bring the survivors here, and both Ohgami and Ohwada told Naegi to have faith in them, and promised that Maizono will be brought back here, and Naegi reluctantly nodded, as they assure to him that everything will be okay. After that, Gozu and his team left as they prepare to leave the base to commence the rescue operation, and the room went silent as Naegi stared at the floor.
By then Yukizome came after hearing everything and she approached Naegi, placing her hands on his shoulders and told him that everything will be okay, and she is sure that Maizono will be brought back safe and sound, and noted that he loved her so much, and he admitted that he is so worried about her, and he is at loss as to why she would do something so reckless, and Yukizome admitted that Maizono did something reckless, but her efforts did pay off, as she managed to find survivors who turn out to be the ones used in the video to force the Class 78 students to commit murder.
"Cheer up, Naegi-kun..."
"..."
"Though what your girlfriend did was quite foolish...she did the right thing anyway."
"Eh? How so...?"
"Thanks to Maizono...she found the other survivors who were kidnapped...and now they will be brought back here...so in a way...she contributed a lot to the Future Foundation..."
"Well..."
"When your girlfriend is brought back here...you two need to talk...intimately."
"O-okay..."
Yukizome then told Naegi that once Maizono returns, he should talk to her in a calm way and not berate her, saying that if she were in Maizono's place she would do the same thing, and Naegi reluctantly nodded and Yukizome smiled and nodded, and then left as Kirigiri looks on, seeing that Naegi have calmed down and she sighed in relief, and all she has to do is wait, and underneath her stoic expression, her eyes showed that she too is worried about her grandfather, yet she is confident that Gozu and her classmates would reach to them and save them.
Outside, Sakakura was watching, and he sighed seeing that things were quite unbelievable that some of the Class 78 students would act so reckless, like what Maizono and Fukawa did, and heard that Togami went missing after heading to Towa City, and his eyes glanced at Naegi, wondering what the Luckster is made of and why Tengan has so much interest in him, seeing him as someone not worthy to be a Future Foundation member after defending Ikusaba, who is among the ones responsible for plunging the world into chaos, and he left as he felt disgusted watching Naegi.
"Seriously...what does the chairman see in that brat have that Munakata don't...?"
Elsewhere, Ruruka and Sonosuke are at a room, in which she is giving him candies, and they are discussing about the current events, such as the Class of 78 being sorted to different branches and why Tengan allowed Ikusaba to become a member despite her involvement in causing the Tragedy. Sonosuke agreed and believe that Ikusaba should be executed along with the members of the Remnants of Despair, especially after Komaeda and Kamakura escaped custody.
"Seriously...the chairman has gone soft...don't you think so, Yoi-chan?"
"Yeah...either he's getting senile or wanted a younger heir..."
"You do have a point...Munakata is a natural born leader-type...why didn't the chairman took Munakata's opinion...?"
"..."
"Well, whatever...its not our problem, right, Yoi-chan...?"
"Right."
"Here's a candy for you."
"Dewicious..."
The two sighed as they wonder what should they be doing right now and yet they would have to wait for orders from Tengan, and Ruruka continue to give Sonosuke more candies which he graciously accepted, seemingly not caring about the status of the world right now.
