"Well now, I'm very interested in how this trial is all set up. Both the culprit and the victim are completely unknown! Why let such a perfect situation go to waste? This is perfect!" Monokuma said.

"How is this perfect?" Linc asked. "We don't know who killed who."

"That's exactly why it's perfect! We're going into this trial completely blind!" Monokuma said.

"Provided that you're the one actually on the trial with us…." Himiko said.

"Nope. Our culprit will be hidden until you all figure out the victim." Monokuma said.

"Okay. Then let's begin. Let's start with identifying who was crushed." Linc said.

"It's obvious..it was Kaito who was crushed!" Maki said.

"I don't think so. Remember how Kaito always wore his jacket?" Linc said. "He always wears it without the sleeve on his right, so it's not Kaito that was in the hydraulic press."

"That doesn't prove anything. Because Kaito didn't have an arm in the sleeve proves nothing. Both sleeves could have been off." Maki said.

"Why are you jumping to conclusions, Maki? This isn't like you at all." Linc said.

"There's just no way that Kaito could be alive. It has to be him who was killed." Maki said.

"Maki, there's has to be something that makes you think that." Shuichi said.

"I know what it is. Maki...you were the last one to meet with us earlier. So...care to explain where you were?" Linc asked.

"Why do I…" Maki began.

"Because I know you wouldn't assume something about Kaito unless you saw something at the scene." Linc said. "Maki...you were there to kill Kokichi yourself, weren't you?"

"I...I was." Maki said.

"I figured as much." Linc said.

"Yes. I had infiltrated the room and prepared to shoot him with poisoned arrows. But...Kaito took one of them for Kokichi." Maki said. "He died because of my poison and it is my fault."

"Maybe not. I found something really convenient near the scene of the crime. Antidotes. Its obvious that Kokichi was prepared, because you are the Ultimate Assassin." Linc sad.

"Actually, that was mine too. I gave it to Kaito but Kokichi took it and drank it." Maki said.

"Damn, why did I make such a stupid assumption. I'm speaking like an idiot out here. I just don't….wait…" Linc thought. "Maybe I'm not as stupid as I think."

"Monokuma...can I ask you something? Do you know the culprit?" Linc asked.

"The culprit? Uh..of course I do." Monokuma said looking flustered.

"He really doesn't? That's a first." Keebo said.

"Because that was Kokichi's plan...to create a murder that even Monokuma couldn't figure out." Linc said.

"A murder Monokuma can't solve?"

"It doesn't matter… I saw Kokichi drink the antidote! I killed Kaito!" Maki said.

"But maybe...that's what Kokichi wanted you to see." Shuichi said. "It's possible...he didn't drink the antidote at all."

"But Kokichi was poisoned too. What reason did he have to fake drinking the antidote?" Himiko asked.

"Because it was so...he could enter an alliance with someone. Specifically...Kaito." Linc said.

"With Kaito? But why? He hates Kokichi's guts!" Tsumugi said.

"Yes, but… Kaito might have accepted his terms. If he didn't, he would've succumbed to the poison, making Maki the culprit instead." Shuichi said.

"So they entered a plan to confuse Monokuma, with him not knowing either victim or culprit, just like he planned." Linc said.

"But… That's impossible. The video clearly showed Kaito being crushed." Maki said.

"That was all part of the plan. Specifically, a victim swap." Shuichi said.

"The video showed Kaito being crushed, but… Kokichi might have stopped the video and the press for a brief moment." Linc said.

"And in that moment...they switched places." Shuichi said.

"Kokichi swapped places with Kaito allowing Kaito to start the video and the press. Kokichi was determined to beat Monokuma...even at the cost of his life." Linc said. "This was his final lie."

"But… Kaito is no where to be found. So that begs the question: Where is he?" Shuichi asked.

"I'm here." a voice said as an Exisal stepped into the room as it opened to reveal Kaito inside. "Man...and I had this plan to pretend to be Kokichi too. Nothing gets by the detective and his partner."

"Kaito! So, it's true." Linc said

"Yep. Sorry for making you guys worry about me." Kaito said. "Anyways, let's start the vote! I'm the culprit, so there's no need to keep it waiting!"

"I couldn't have said it better! Now...its voting time!" Monokuma said.

The students place their votes on Kaito, and sure enough, they were right again.

"Puhuhuhuhu! That is right! The blackened is Kaito Momota!" Monokuma said.

"Yep. I knew you guys would get it right!" Kaito said.

"Kaito… You took some very big risks there." Linc said

"Although, I never imagined you'd be this happy about being executed." Shuichi said.

"Don't worry. I'm not going out the way he plans it." Kaito said.

"In that case...let's give it everything we got! Its….PUNISHMENT TIME!" Monokuma said as he banged his gavel.

An 8 bit Monokuma then dragged off Kaito across the screen.

Kaito has been found guilty

The punishment will now begin

The scene changes to a sort of classroom where Kaito sat in a chair as Monokuma was in a space suit. He then banged his paw on the red launch button as Kaito was pulled into a space ship behind him.

Blast Off Second Ignition

It then took off a foot in the air before flipping and drilling through the earth itself as it continued until the rocket was in space. Kaito then smiled as he coughed up blood as the rocket's computer looked confused. Kaito lied dead inside. Its screen then read: Execution Failed. It then went wild and fell back to the room with a crash. As Keebo went to block, some of the debris knocked off his hair thing as the rocket opened to show the deceased Kaito, leaving Monokuma angry.

"What is this? First those mysterious people snatched Kirumi and Gonta, now this?!" Monokuma asked.

"This… This is Kaito's victory. Because he died on his own terms." Shuichi said. "And on his life, we will end this killing game."

"Big deal. A participant can never end this game!" Monokuma said.

"You're wrong big time." a voice said.

"Huh?" Monokuma said before seeing Jexi and David standing there. "And who the heck are you lot supposed to be?"

"The kind of people that couldn't stand idly by as you go on with this madness." David said.

"Wait, so… The times when Kirumi and Gonta were spared… Those were you guys?" Monokuma said.

"Oh big time. You should really keep a better eye on your things like the exisals. But seeing as how you might have tricks up your sleeve...I suggest this. One final trial...a retrial to be exact...going over a past case." Jexi said.

"Which one?" Monokuma said.

"Rantaro's case." David said.

"With new evidence...we can prove Rantaro's death was not caused by Kaede Akamatsu." Jexi said. "That would make your whole trial unfair since you rigged those results."

"Rigged? What are you talking about?" Linc asked.

"Trust us. You'll know once we get there." David said. "This will be not only the final trial, but also…" David said as he held the tip of his hat. "Our final battle."

"Just….who are these...could they be...the voices?" Linc wondered looking at them.

"Not just us. It was more of a collective conscience." David said.

"But that doesn't matter now. What matters now...is exposing all of the lies he's been telling." Jexi said.

"We will not stop until this and all killing games end!" Jexi and David said.

"Fine. You want a retrial, you got it. We'll have it tomorrow. Just be prepared for your punishments." Monokuma said.

"And you and the mastermind for yours." David said.
