Chapter 11: SHSL Despair

Chihiro was in his room after a long day of school. Everyone tried to act like everything was okay, but it wasn't. Komaeda was dead and no one but them know that. His father seemed to notice his depression and gave him hugs and words of comfort but then they weren't enough. He felt like he was falling into despair.

And then there was a knock on his door. Leon entered with a guitar. "Hey, your dad called me, and sorry about not just coming here with you and comforting you immediately, but I had to get my guitar, because I thought a song could help."

"Thanks Leon." He wiped his tears. "But I dont think a song can cheer me up." The tears just couldn't stop. Leon brushed his thumb against his cheek.

"I know. But we gotta think about the positive because that how we should remember him."

Chihiro took in a shaky breath. "You're right, but It hurts so much."

"Then maybe this can ease the pain. I didn't understand why I loved it as a kid, but it always made me feel better." Leon began strumming his guitar. "But I had a few changes if you don't mind.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when days are grey

You'll never know, babe, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

"Hey brother." Mondo was on top of the school's roof which was surprising for him because Ishimaru was one for the rules and being on top of the roof wasn't allowed during afterschools.

"...I'm sorry brother, but can you please leave me alone." That was another surprise from the hall monitor.

Mondo felt hurt and angry but understood. "I know you're upset, but you don't need to be alone."

Ishimaru faced him with reddened eyes and black bags beneath showing that he hadn't been able to sleep. "I feel ashamed of myself because I can't do my job right today. I just can't stop thinking about how useless I was."

"I know that feeling." Mondo told him honestly. "You feel like the worst person in the world and you don't want anyone to bother with you, or give you that feeling again, but I'm here for you Kiyotaka. If you need a shoulder to cry on next time, never hesitate to call me because I will be there for you whenever and wherever you need me. Except when I'm in the middle of taking a shit. You'll have to wait a little but I'll be there for you."

Ishimaru felt fresh tears fall as his lips strangly tingled when he smiled. "And I will do the same for you brother!"

"I know." The two touched foreheads together feeling a sense of hope back into them.

I'll always love you and make you happy

If you will only say the same

But if you leave me to love another

I'll regret it everyday

Togami was in his mansion's library reading a book but even he was distracted by the event. Thinking about his life and now, he truly did feel alone. He competed with his thoughts of what he was about to do. Eventually he took his cellphone to call Fukawa.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when days are grey

You'll never know, babe, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

Naegi was lying on Kirigiri's bed holding her since the both of them didn't feel like doing anything but waiting for the inevitable.

Please don't take my sunshine away

Kirigiri whispered to him, "What I found in Komaeda's room were directions to a storage facility that must've been outside of the Despair Kingdom's vision since there were symbols written in his blood. I already sent messages to the others."

Naegi tried not to do anything that'll give him away. He just hummed that he understood.

"And Naegi-san, I miss him. I miss our son."

"I miss him too." He held her closer.

Please don't take my sunshine away

Leon ended. "So how was I?"

Chihiro sniffed. "I feel a bit better. Thank you Leon."

So the two stayed on the bed as the others did. Mondo and Ishimaru were at Ishimaru's house. Togami had Fukawa on his bed. Yamada accompanied Celestia while Hagakure accompanied Asahina. Sakura was with Kenichiro. Kirigiri and Naegi both fell asleep.

Then the Despair game began.

A piano played. A melody that was a stream of a secret mathematical message to become letters and then words.

"Do you hear that?" Nanami asked Izuru while they walked through a hallway of the school. "It sounds familiar."

"I do not remember hearing it before, and it's nothing to concern ourselves with. Right now we must subdue them which would've been easier if Sailor Venus hadn't locked us here. But the results will be the same which will be boring."

"Isn't it awmazing how they were able to discover how to unlock their celestial power, and twapped us in here?" Monomi stated.

"Komaeda told them. He had enhanced knowledge of their power, and thought his death would distract us, but he was easily read."

"But it's strange. He was the one who planned all their deaths. If only my mother hadn't prevented you from stopping Sailor Sun, the Despair Kingdom would have won. But now in this whole new world, he wants the Despair Kingdom to lose. Do you know why Kamukuru-san?"

"..."

The former Princess of the Stars felt a pang of shock by the silence since the man was the most gifted of us, but even he didn't understand Komaeda's true intentions. Why put the solar system into despair? Why not do it now? Was there a change of heart? Did he felt worthwhile in this timeline? Even with an answer made, it just didn't feel right. Not without hearing it from Komaeda himself, but he's dead.

The three of them entered the the gym where the Sailors, except for Sailor Venus, were waiting.

"Izuru Kamukuru, you are on trial for the deaths of the Solar system's Kings and Queens from the past. If you resist by the name of the solar system, we will punish you!" Naegi announced.

"Dude, I thought we talked about this!" Mondo shouted at him.

"S-sorry! Force of habit." The Moon princess blushed embarrassingly.

"A trail? You already know I did it. Why bother?" Izuru questioned.

"It's not any kind of trial." Sailor Pluto stepped forward. "It's a new type of Devil Showdown that we will all risk our lives for. The rules are simple. When you are found guilty, you will die but then when we are found guilty, we will accept our fate."

"You are the Princess of Time, and your cat is a fortune teller. You two must have seen the results of this game."

She giggled. "But you should also know that even if I protect the Door of Time, I am not allowed to see within it or else I would die for disobeying the royal law. And Hagakure is only thirty percent accurate. Perhaps more than one life will be taken from this, so will you accept."

"And the rules?"

"The rules are simple. You must prove your innocence and point your finger at either one of us. Eventually there will be a verdict."

"And who will be the judge? How will we be chosen of who is innocent or not?"

"By the one person who is fair to all without any care whatsoever of who is truly innocent and who is truly guilty."

"Justice. The judge who had the Despair Kingdom separated from the other kingdoms instead of having an execution set since both had deemed controversial in existence. It dropped the charges of several thousands murders by the Despair Kingdom since even your kingdoms were to blame for your lack of protection. In other words neither were happy but not left with nothing with the conclusion which is what justice provides. A boring choice."

"Then each and every one of you agree?" Celestia questioned. The three of them nodded. "Then let the trial begin. The trial of who killed truly killed Nagito Komaeda. Sailor Venus, break the barriers."

The gym's walls fell flat like cardboard box to reveal that they were in space. Leon was bought down to the floor next to Justice who was a gray figure wearing a blindfold. A court room was formed with Justice sitting on its chair. There was an added scale above everyone where it went from green to red from top to bottom of how innocent to guilty you are. "The trial to discover who was Komaeda's murderer has started. The Sailor guardians represents themselves and their kingdoms. The Despair Nemesises represents for the Despair Kingdom and themselves. Let the discussion begin."

"Then I will go first." Izuru stated. "The one who has killed Komaeda was Sailor Sun and Sailor Moon since. If they hadn't healed Komaeda, he wouldn't have died."

"That is true!" Ishimaru stated, "But the Despair Kingdom must have known of what would happen if he were to fail! We had no knowledge!"

"If it was knowledge about his death, than shouldn't that fall on Sailor Mercury and Tuxedo Mask since they had read into his background and knew of his illnesses." Nanami stated. "Komaeda didn't hide his medical records."

"So your kingdom were spying on us. Hmph." Togami's eyes pierced at them. "It had stated of his illnesses, but then Komaeda had lied to us about seeing a doctor which we assumed were actual check ups to of his illnesses if we were wrong about his allegiance to you. The real question is about your temporary cure to his illness. Komaeda only had less than a few months to live, but then due to the despair power, it had saved him to live longer and fall under false pretense that it wouldn't get worse!"

"Eeee! Byakuya-sama!" Genocider gushed by how cool he is.

Chihiro and Naegi looked to each other unsure about this trial. They had all agreed that this would become the subject since it was Komaeda's plan, but the ending was unknown. Was he really on their side? Or was this another trap?

"But didn't he tell you in his last words that he only joined the Despair Kingdom so he would get killing you by his luck over, and then joined again under those false pretense to see you."

"That is true." Kirigiri stated. "But then to have been born under such circumstances that the Despair Kingdom could've controlled, isn't it not taken care of for him to join for that case."

"I see... As I am put into this position, this trial will have no end. Neither of us are fault. This was Komaeda's plan wasn't it? Do you truly believe blaming each other for his own actions that he's responsible for himself can be justified?" Izuru reasoned. "He had us locked in a never ending trial that would give the Despair Kingdom time to attack and fulfill their plan from the start. If only Queen Star hadn't been at the ball to stop me, we would have had done so before."

Naegi noticed. "You got that wrong!"

"What?"

"Queen Star wasn't attending the ball. She was suppose to be in the meeting with the other Kings and Queens on Earth."

"Even one with the best talent," Kirigiri stated, "Cannot know everything in the world. The truth is that Komaeda had planned the death of everyone, but had betrayed the Despair Kingdom by kidnapping Queen Star in order for Fujisaki-san to use rebirth."

"You think I didn't know that." Izuru stared at the Prince with his glowing red eyes.

"It was a guess you would have made, but then the real question is why would he want the world to change."

"So you are changing the subject. Fine since we must talk." Izuru closed his eyes for a second and then stated, "It was for you." He pointed at Naegi.

"Me?"

"You must have told him something to inspire him to change the world."

"Inspire him?...I would never talk him into doing suicide! Never!" His teeth gritted as tears fell down. "If only your kingdom didn't existed. If only Luck was born among our kingdom instead. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALIVE!"

"Naegi-san." Kirigiri caught his attention calmly. "You say that the very pure existence of the Despair kingdom had encouraged Luck's character from the start since the mundane ideas including suicide had been encouraged instead of the opposite."

"That is true, but then he had found hope within despair on his own account. He just needed another push to have his ideals complete and prepared for action."

"That depends. What is more important? The beginning or the ending results?"

Naegi's eyes widen at the statement his lover had said. "Wait! I did not encourage him to do this! I would never encourage my son to kill himself!"

"That's right! Makoto would never do that!" Leon defended him.

"You only say that as his friend." Izuru pointed out sharply. "Words are powerful. They inspire the biggest events. The best leaders have only used words to have won the majority's vote to gain power to change the world."

"That is true, but do you have any words!" Ishimaru questioned. "Do you have anything in specific!"

"Such as words that 'I wish that this world would be more peaceful' or 'I wish that everyone was filled with hope'."

"But this new world isn't an good example of hope, is it?" Celestia questioned.

"Hell no it isn't! I watched my parents! On my planet, that shit wouldn't have happened!" Mondo defended.

"But your own people betrayed you and murdered your people and friends." Nanami stated.

"Dat's twue!" Monomi agreed.

"Shut up!"

"Calm down brother!"

"Nidai-san," Sakura started, "Wasn't one to fall to despair so easily. With your immense talent, I will admit that I may have been persuaded to fall into despair."

"But you have your fiance'!" Asahina objected to her statement. "I see no reason to fall into despair unless something bad happened to me. What did the despair Kingdom do to you to have you become this?"

"They have done nothing. I have always been like this."

"But surely you must have had parents!"

"Such trivial things are useless to know."

"Or is it because you don't know?" Togami questioned. "Komaeda had faced the loss of losing his parents at a young age by the Despair Kingdom's authority, so everyone was born through pregnancies. In Komaeda's instructions, you accepted the gift of despair which had taken away your past memories, but despite being someone else, you are still Hajime Hinata."

"...That is true." Izuru responded. "I do not remember this Hajime Hinata, but then considering what I have heard from the others, he was also someone passionate about hope, but not as twisted as Komaeda's...The truth that I'm seventy percent sure of was that Komaeda had someone trick him into thinking he was being given the power of ultimate hope instead of despair to stop the plans he discovered."

"And for what sake did Hinata accepted the deal?" Celestia questioned.

"...You do realize that Hinata is a citizen of the Earth. He stands for your kingdom."

"You are Hinata!" Ishimaru declared. "The moment you agreed to the agreement, you have fallen into Despair who is no longer a citizen of the Earth!"

"Prince Earth could have saved him by giving in his life, but you didn't." Nanami stated.

"Such an act was an unsure move since a despair citizen had never been healed, and Komaeda had stopped me, but for what reason to do so?"

"...A broken heart." Izuru stated.

Genocider Syo squealed holding her face. "Broken hearts! They sure are such fragile things! Guhahahahaha! Story time!"

"How is dat welevant?" Monomi asked.

"Shut it fur bag! Now where was I? Ah, my sweet princess's first crush had led her on that he didn't mind her company, but actually thought she was weird and annoying and humiliated her! So I track him down and did him! Guhahahaha! You see, we chose to kill him, but for that psycho, he chose to die unable to live without his first love! Guhahahaha!"

"Shut up now." Togami ordered.

"It's the lame-o who loves you! I just wanna do you! Please Byakuya-sama! I promise not to tell her about us! Oh no! She heard! Excuse me!" She turned around kneeling as she had a mental argument.

Everyone returned to their mission.

"So you blame me just because I truly didn't love him back."

"Or what your words implied." Celestia gave her poker smile. "They surely are the strongest weapon."

"I don't know since I don't have Hajime Hinata's memories."

"But you can predict seventy percent of what events would most likely happen. Certainly you predicted this would happen."

"...What Hajime Hinata must have agreed to kill him in order to protect someone else. Someone he cared more about than him." He looked to Nanami. "He died because he thought I loved you more than him."

"But that's not true is it." She said.

Izuru shook his head. "Hinata Hajime thought he could have saved Komaeda with the power of hope. Hoping that they could both live through it and reach for an explanation. But since those were not formed into words before, he must have believed that he was truly hated in the end."

"So you agree to defeat?" Kirigiri questioned.

The three looked at each other and then responded, "Yes, but Nanami isn't found guilty. She was forced instead of agreeing to become one with despair."

"Agreed." Justice stood from his chair. "Izuru Kamukura and Monomi you are hereby executed." The gray person had a button appear and then pressed it. Izuru and Monomi were held against a chair. Helmets with attenas that had stars attached to the tips were locked onto their heads. The chairs began to turn around and around having the stars light up and multiply through the space until they began to light up.

Once the turning stopped, the light faded to reveal Izuru and Monomi as different people. Izuru's hair was short with an ahoge and Monomi became an adult woman who had long hair with fringe bangs and wore a dress with long sleeves. Chihiro and Naegi did their job and used Solar Healing Eclipse that had healed all three of them into three unconscious people. Kirigiri caught her little sister from falling.

Justice disappeared without a word having the space dissipate. Everyone woke up. Kirigiri walked over to the room where all the DNs were, including Hinata, Nanami and Usami; her step mother.

The starting of the plan was that Leon who opened his celestial power to bring everyone into a dream that would reach Justice and the three DNs. Then the male with Celestia had Justice do what they want which had it tell them where there bodies were through a Devil showdown which she had won. They bought the bodies to the room, and then had the trial.

"Looks like we have gotten all of them. What now?" Naegi asked.

"I don't know." She walked over to the space between her step mother and sister as they were lying on the beds. Usami was still in her bunny form. "We have given Hinata and my mother their identities back through executing their fake identities and memories." She took out a small jar that had a glowing star inside it. "The Reversal Star. The only way to wake them up, but at the cost of resetting the past before we became the Sailor guardians..." She looked to Naegi who nodded.

Justice had given them this jar as their answer to wake everyone back without the influence of Despair.

They all had that discussion before the three former DNs encountered them.

"B-but if we go back..." Chihiro looked to Sailor Venus.

"Hey! There's gotta be another way! How about a wishing Star?!" Oowada suggested.

"That cannot be. Wishing stars have proven too strong that they are dispersed throughout the galaxy where no one could control their power. Even I cannot catch one." Justice responded.

"Then we will have to wait for a night for a wishing star!" Asahina stated.

"Do not be foolish. Your healing of despair is temporary. Eventually they will fall into again and free themselves to attack again. Even if you defeated their strongest threat, they may band together against all of you and do it again and again to the point that you'll have to kill the eventually." Justice reasoned.

"But you must be able to tell us when and where the next wishing star will be!" Ishimaru stated.

"What part of 'too strong' did you not understand? They are out of my reach even with predictions."

"We have no choice." Kirigiri stated. "But will this be able to bring back-"

"No." It stopped her from completing that statement. "Life is sacred. You of all people should know that."

She nodded her head down staring at the jar. She looked to Naegi. "Will be still be able to become the Sailor guardians and be together again to stop the Despair Kingdom?"

"Yes."

She then turned to everyone, "Yes."

Naegi understood taking her hand. "Yes."

Togami crossed his arms. "Hmph. Of course it's a yes."

The Outer guardians stepped forward nodding. "Yes."

Oowada and Ishimaru looked at each other. The hall monitor smiled confidently. "You'll always be my brother in my heart! We will meet again!"

"Heh. You'll always be my brother in here too." The gang leader patted his fist on the left side of his chest.

They turned to Kirigiri. "Yes!"

Chihiro was still hesitant until Leon tipped his chin up to give him a sweet kiss on the lips and then a comforting smile. "If it's meant to be, then we got nothing to worry about. I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you. Nothing will ever change that babe."

"And I'll never love anyone else but you, Leon."

"I know." He kissed the back of his hand keeping his eyes on him.

"Then yes."

"Yes."

Now it was time. Kirigiri opened the small jar letting the star out and reversing time with only a few changes...

Naegi woke up to the feeling of a cat's rough tongue licking his face. He scrunched his face. Suddenly something huge got on his stomach suffocating him. He sat up abruptly having Yamada rolled off onto his lap.

"I'm up! I'm up!"

Yamada jumped off him and then walked away. His little sister opened the door helping him get out. "Makoto your not dressed? You're going to be late!"

"Ah?! What happened to my alarm clock?!"

"Just hurry up!"

The teen scrambled to put on his clothes as quickly as he could. "Chihiro! Wake up!"

The other teen who was sleeping on the futon woke up. "What is it Makoto-kun?"

"We're going to be late for school!"

"EH?!"

The two quickly got ready the best they could and ran out the house with snacks left for them for missing breakfast. They ran quickly to end up catching up to Hinata who was also late. The three of them got detention slips by Ishimaru.

Naegi had accidentally tripped earlier to have a bruise form at his nose, so he was sent to the infirmary where he was treated by Mikan who was really nice. She had problems but the nurse who worked with her was working on that.

Later, Leon who was passionate about being a musician for a cute girl had joined the music club with Ibuki and was allowed to become the lead singer.

Togami insulted him and then a double Togami also insulted him. Everyone freaked out for a while until Kirigiri explained the situation, and then told Naegi about their study time together had to be rescheduled due to his detention, and the fact that she has to spend time with her step mother and sister. The green jacket teen couldn't help but think that she was happier but thought he always knew she was happier.

At PE, Akane had amazed everyone by her gymnastics while Nidai coached her. Naegi also noticed Souda trying to impress Sonia who was busy being impressed by Gundam and his hamsters. Maga-G was lifting his own custom made weight lifts while the others just watched.

Then at lunch, Hanamura greeted them nicely and then made salacious remarks at them that got a head smack by the other lunch lady. There was a surprise when Mondo came to class which Ishimaru applauded. Chihiro noticed how the gang leader blushed when the hall monitor wasn't looking.

Later at detention, Chihiro and Naegi were trapped with Fuyuhiko, Pekoyama, Mahiru and Hiyoko. The two chibis had an argument where Peko attempted to take action but Mahiru called for an adult before anything could happen.

After a dull sensation, Naegi went back home after saying goodbye to Chihiro. All the sailor guardians were back to normal except for Sailor Pluto, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus and Hagakure.

As the Sailor of time and Genocider who still kept the memories, they had Asahina and Sakura become Sailors again. Like Hagakure, Yamada also kept his memories of their duties.

"Shouldn't we bring back the other Sailor guardians?" Sakura questioned.

"It'd make things so much easier if we did." Asahina stated.

"Yes we should, but that is Yamada-san's job." Celestia responded. "Besides, we have duties that extends beyond the Town of Hope Peak. I have slowed down the Despair Kingdom from reaching its highest point."

"And thanks to the Reversal Star, they have to start over again!" Hagakure stated proudly.

"All this talk is boring!" Genocider growled. "So what now? Do I get to kill anyone for once?!"

"Actually yes." Sailor Pluto responded. "We will be gone for a few months. Hopefully, everything isn't lose before we come back."

They five of them disappeared.

At the Despair Kingdom, Prince Monokuma was beating up a salmon. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Those stupid Sailor guardians ruined all my hard work!"

"Calm down." The man to his right scolded. "We are still collecting despair as it is. Be patient."

"Oh King Matsuda?"

"Yeah, you dumb bear!" The woman to his left shouted. "Besides they aren't Sailors anymore! Which is kinda boring now." She sighed.

"That may be true, Queen Junko, but doesn't mean that they can't be. "

"Let's leave them be." The king stated. "When we're close, we will kill the cats, and then have them die with the rest of the world in pure despair."

"Despair! Despair! Despair!" Queen Junko and Monobear clapped hands together laughing insanely.

The End
