Monokuma: It's been 3000 years but we're back! Our special guest today is the one and only Dio Brando! Or DIO. Or Diego's counterpart. Or bisexual British vampire.
Dio: Yes, it is, I, Dio.
Monokuma: shahmeeralikhokhar, yeah that definitely must be improved on. Out of all the danganronpas V3 manages the executions the best. THH's executions were gruesome but besides chapter 4 not too emotional. SDR2's were emotional but not as brutal. NDRV3 had amazing balance.
Dio: Rose Jigglypuff, guess we'll find out in the final chapter if Tabuu is behind the killer. And I am so sorry about Monokuma's mistake, I'll make sure to muda him into oblivion at the end of the fic.
Monokuma: MeMe Of MeMeS, it's okay. We've seen your votes and have made sure to count them.
Dio: Pile of trash, that is a lot of votes. But is girl Marth Lucina or Marth as a girl?
Monokuma: Ya Boi, did you know that if you mix Dio and Mario's name you get Dario. That's Dio's dad's name. Anyway, assist trophies won't appear as more than possibly background characters in a prequel or something like that. But Roy's interaction with others is definitely something we're looking forward too!
Dio: Demonic Campfire, we'll soon find out what happened to ZA WARUDO. What happened- *plays Roundabout*
Monokuma: Calm Cool Croc, we'll have to see what happens to Luigi. The poor fella is suffering.
Dio: Link9753, if either Marth or Roy ends up being the protagonist the other is like the obligatory deuteragonist. I guess a vote for Roy is a vote for Marth screen time and vice versa.
Monokuma: Pichuplayer, thank you! The question now is, how predictable will that twist be if we decide to use it? If we use it, who's going to be the big chapter 5 death?
Dio: Guest, that makes sense seeing as how Brawl is a sausage fest. If the protagonist isn't a girl in the next part, the SSB4 protagonist will be a girl.
Monokuma: That was a long review show! Anyway, I have an important announcement to make!
Dio: It'll be at the end of the story, so read to find out. It's about the voting and a few changes in the system.
Monokuma: See you after the break!
Yoshi was killed by Fox…
Fox got executed…
Donkey Kong was killed by Ryu…
Ryu got executed…
Pikachu was killed by Mario…
Mario got executed…
We started out as sixteen students and now we're only ten. If things continue to go this way, we'll all be dead. There's no way to stop this killing game by myself, but I don't know if I should tell the others about last night. It might make everything worse. This game is really taking its toll on everyone. I'm surprised I'm still able to think straight.
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"It is now 7am. As such, it is officially daytime! Time to wake up and have a beautiful day."
It's weird being awake before the announcement. I should go to the cafeteria and meet up with the others.
It was silent in the cafeteria. I sat at the table next to Zelda and ate some cereal undisturbed.
"Hey, I have an idea! Food makes people happy, so we should eat a lot. Maybe we can organize a banquet?" Kirby suggested in an attempt to lighten the mood.
"But every time we do something together someone dies," Ness replied.
"I bet that is the mastermind's doing! Think about it, if someone dies every time we do something together, we start doubting everyone. That is what the mastermind wants," Jiggylpuff explained.
"I think you have a valid point. Maybe we should organize a banquet… But first, we need to explore the new floor," Zelda said.
After breakfast, everyone went up to the fourth floor. Ness and Zelda decided to come with me to explore and we entered a classroom at the end of the right corridor. The blackboard was covered in drawings of Monokuma. After finding nothing, we checked the classroom next door and found ourselves empty-handed again.
We decided to enter another room. The first thing I noticed was the strong smell of chemicals. Ness pointed towards a big cupboard full of small bottles.
"Look, they have medicines and vitamins," he yelled.
"We could use some vitamin D. Who knows how long we haven't seen the sun," Zelda smiled.
"There are lots of poisonous substances in here, we should be careful."
I took a closer look at the bottles and noticed they were all disorganized. While Zelda and Ness checked out the equipment, I organized the bottles and put the poisons at the back of the highest shelf that I could reach with the help of a chair. Sometimes I wish shortness didn't run in my family, I'm among the tallest members but still…
The three of us left the laboratory and saw a blue door. Zelda tried opening it but it wouldn't budge. A sign near the door said it was the data processing room. I couldn't help but feel something important was in there.
We walked towards a large door and arrived in a concert hall. The stage had a large piano in front of red curtains. I went backstage to take a look and found a lot of instruments. There didn't appear to be any cameras here either. Maybe this place could be used as a secret base of some sort.
After a few minutes of investigation, we left and saw the principal's office. Ness tried opening the door but it was locked. Of course, that room probably had all the answers to our current situation. The mastermind must be really smart.
Disappointed, we made our way to the last room on the floor. It was the faculty room. It was full of tables with flowers. Why would there be flowers on top of the tables? I looked down at the floor and noticed a photo. Yoshi, Mario and Pikachu were in it and they appeared to be having fun. The location appeared to be the same as the photo with Ryu, Fox and DK. Did Mario and Pikachu know each other before Hope's Peak? No… That can't be it, they didn't appear to know each other that well.
I would've continued asking myself questions if Master Hand hadn't suddenly appeared unannounced.
"No, it can't be… This must be fake…"
"Sorry, Link. It's real. Now, be a good student and hand me the picture," Master Hand ordered as he snatched the photo from my hands. What a jerk.
"What do you mean it's real?"
"That it's real. For an Ultimate Puzzle Solver, you sure are dumb."
"Hey, that is extremely rude," Princess Zelda said as she butted into our conversation.
"That is extremely rude!" Master Hand mocked, "I would've said something really funny but it is not my line. Hey, maybe Link can say it! You know the line, the one your… Cousin, I think, always says."
"Which one? I've got quite a lot and they're all named Link," I replied annoyed.
"You know the one with the annoying catchphrase."
Oh, god no.
A few years back, my family had a large family meeting at Twilight's house. All of my cousins were there, including some I had never met. I was playing some video games with Twilight when my mother called me to introduce me to one of my cousins. He had dark brown hair and wore green clothes, he didn't appear to be anything special. I let him play video games with Twilight and I and we had some fun.
I later left to go pick up Toon, but when I came back something horrible happened: the new cousin had a catchphrase and he wouldn't stop saying it. He boasted about some girl he liked and called her Princess. Twilight didn't seem to mind at first whereas Toon instantly hated him and called him Dick. After that, we nicknamed our annoying cousin Dick.
To escape his annoying aura, Toon, Twilight and I went for a walk in the forest near Ordon Village. Twilight ended up ranting for an hour about how annoying Dick was and how his stupid catchphrase rubbed off on him.
Ever since that event, we avoid Dick as much as possible.
"Let's just leave and report our findings to the others," I said walking out of the room. I heard Master Hand complain but paid it no mind.
Back at the cafeteria everyone reported their findings. Kirby mentioned breaking the doors to go into the principal's office was a good idea but Monokuma said that anyone who breaks a door will be killed.
"Hey, guys. We found a photo again," I started, "Yoshi, Mario and Pikachu were in it."
"Why does Master Hand keep leaving them?" Jigglypuff asked.
"They're probably fakes in order to confuse us," Zelda answered.
"But why would he get all defensive about them. If they were fake wouldn't he let us keep them?" I said.
"So if we assume they're real, this means that the people who are currently dead knew each other before Hope's Peak," Cloud deduced.
"Maybe they're still alive or something," Ness suggested.
"If we try hard enough we might remember meeting each other before…" Zelda muttered.
"I've been trying this whole time and nothing. Not a single memory has come back. I can't even remember anything that happened last year. I don't even know what I did for summer break," Kirby complained.
"That's weird, I remember my whole summer break just fine," Captain Falcon responded.
I tried remembering my summer vacations but my memories seemed to be scattered. I remembered having guests but I couldn't remember who… I also remembered going to to visit Toon with someone but I can't remember what we did… This is strange. Does the mastermind have some sort of tool that can remove specific memories?
"Maybe we could write down what we remember and don't remember, if we compare our memories we might find a link," I suggested.
"That's a great pun, I mean idea," Zelda smiled at me, "Since you're the Ultimate Puzzle Solver, you'll definitely find the answer!"
I felt myself blush as she told me that. We all agreed to meet up at dinner time to compare our memories.
I went to my room and wrote down what I remembered. Once I was done, I decided to read Pikachu's notes to see if he had written down anything about his memories.
He didn't think he had any memory problems besides remembering Pichu's classmates' name. Makes sense in a way, the mastermind wouldn't want anyone knowing about other students.
I continued reading his notes and found myself in a paragraph about some terrible incident. It was named The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History. It apparently happened one year ago and forced Hope's Peak to close down. But that doesn't make sense. Pichu started going to Hope's Peak one year ago. Could this event be the reason some of us lost our memories?
I rushed to the cafeteria and saw Luigi cooking. He was making spaghetti for all of us. He really is too pure for this world…
"So… How are you doing?" I asked in an awkward attempt to start a conversation.
"I could be-a better. I am really-a tired of all these-a losses. Why must this happen to-a me?"
"I don't know… I wish there was a way to prevent all these unnecessary deaths."
"Same… But I-a know I must-a move on. Mario wouldn't want me to be-a sad all-a the time. It's just so-a hard in this-a situation."
Even after what Mario did to Pikachu, Luigi still cares for his brother. He really is befitting of his Ultimate Little Brother title.
"Hey-a, Link. How do you move on so-a fast? You don't-a seem to be afraid of-a anything."
"Uh… I guess it's a family trait. We're all pretty courageous."
"You and your-a family must be-a close."
"We are, all though I can't remember much of them from summer break."
"Y-you can't? The mastermind is so-a cruel. Messing with everyone's-a memories. Usually I-a go once a month with-a Mario to the Toadstool's-a castle but I can't-a remember a single-a time we-a went last year."
"Pikachu wrote that he couldn't remember any of Pichu's classmates' names."
"The only one I-a recognized was-a Princess-a Toadstool."
"We really need to get to the bottom of this. We're not gonna let the mastermind win."
"Y-yeah! I'm going to-a make the best-a spaghetti to get everyone-a pumped up!"
Luigi ended up teaching me how to make spaghetti alla bolognese. It was so fun that I almost forgot about all the terrible things happening lately.
Once we were finished, we waited for the others to arrive.
After dinner, everyone compared their memories. It seemed we all had one thing in common: we couldn't remember much about anyone from Hope's Peak. It seemed this amnesia affected some more than others.
"I think this memory erasing thing must have had some side effects," Zelda speculated.
"Probably, Pikachu still remembered all of his family yet I can't remember mine very well," I added, "Maybe the mastermind erased our memories of people who had contacts in Hope's Peak."
"Did any of your-a cousins know anyone from-a Hope's Peak?" Luigi asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe the guests I had over summer break did. Forgetting about my family could have been a side effect."
"My memory loss is-a easy to explain, Princess-a Toadstool was in-a Hope's Peak."
"Lucky you. I barely remember a thing. My last memory was helping my dad fix his 3DS three years ago," Kirby pouted.
"Maybe someone you knew well had something to do with Hope's Peak," Bayonneta smiled.
"Maybe… I don't think it could be my parents though. My dad makes video games and my mom is a cook. I also don't have any siblings, maybe I made a friend who went to Hope's Peak…"
"Wait, Kirby didn't you tell me you once had an eating competition with Hope's Peak students?" I asked.
"You're right! Maybe that's why I don't remember anything. If I met an entire class, the mastermind wouldn't want me to remember."
"Hey!" Jigglypuff screamed, "Why don't we build a machine to get our memories back?"
"Great idea! If someone gives me instructions, I can build it. I used to build stuff all the time when I was small."
"But where are we going to get the instructions from?" Cloud asked.
"We'll find them in the library if we're lucky," Jigglypuff giggled, "Too bad we don't have an Ultimate Lucky Student to help us find them."
After about an hour of pointless discussions, I finally returned to my room and went into deep thought mode. Who was the mastermind? No, who are the two masterminds? Why did they cause the end of the world? Nothing makes sense anymore. I really hope this case gets solved soon.
*Bing Bong Ding Dong*
"This is a school announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, night time has officially begun. The storage room and the baths will be locked shortly. Good night and sweet dreams!"
All I can do now is rest. I need to be in shape for tomorrow.
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"It is now 7am. As such, it is officially daytime! Time to wake up and have a beautiful day."
I hate this more than my old alarm clock…
The morning wasn't anything special. I just had breakfast and returned to my room. I heard a knock on my door and went to open it. Bayonetta smiled and told me we should hang out in the recreational room.
We ended up playing some board games and I beat her every time. She didn't seem to mind losing that much and told me she had fun.
"You know, Link. I'd love it if everyone would make it out alive, but reason tells me that won't happen…"
"It's not impossible."
"Sometimes I wish this was just a bad nightmare. But most of my dreams involve me killing angels and demons."
"Those seem like some pretty cool dreams."
"Yeah, they are. What kind of dreams do you have, Link?"
"Nothing that special. Sometimes I dream that I'm a hero saving the world from evil. Once, I dreamed that one of my cousins was actually my descendant and the only physical proof that I had gotten laid." I said with a straight face making Bayonetta laugh. Her laugh in turn made me laugh and we spent ten minutes cracking jokes and losing our breath.
"Sometimes I forget that it's still possible to laugh given our situation," Bayonetta started.
"Yeah," I added, "I really miss my friends and family, I hope we manage to get out."
"Same here. The whole Umbra clan must be worried about me."
"Umbra clan?"
"That's my family. We specialize in witch craft. Does you family specialize in anything?"
"I guess we're pretty good at breaking pots and mowing the lawn."
"That's quite unique and unexpected. Must be fun."
"Yeah, the best part is finding money in the pots we break."
"Money? Your family sure seems quirky. I think I'm going to go have lunch now. All though, I am more excited for supper, I wonder what Luigi will make."
After lunch, I decided to go to the library to see if there was anything interesting to read. I saw Ness and we had a chat.
"What are you reading, Ness?"
"It's a book about baseball. I know I'm the Ultimate Psychic but I've always wanted to be a baseball player."
"Would you be able to use your psychic powers while playing?"
"Yeah, probably. All though, it would ruin the fun and it'd be cheating."
"I see your point. It must be useful to be able to use telekinesis."
"It is. I'm pretty short, so I can't reach many things. Being psychic really has it perks."
"I'm glad it makes life easier for you. I wish I had the power to grow taller. Shortness runs in the family."
"Huh? But you're not that short. Zelda's shorter than you and she seems to be quite happy."
"Well, I am among the taller members of my family. I guess not being tall helps with some things."
"Yeah! You don't hit your head on the roof!"
"That is true. I wonder why half our class is so tall."
"Same here. Only Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Kirby are smaller than me and they're not even humans like me."
"I don't even know how they manage to go buy groceries. The shelves must be quite big for them."
"I just make everything float around to see what's best. It's pretty fun but people tend to stare. Luckily everyone in my neighborhood is now used to me."
"It must be fun to go grocery shopping with you."
"It is! We should go see what Luigi is making for dinner."
The two of us went to the kitchen to watch Luigi make us some risotto. He was a really great cook and made us authentic Italian meals. If I was in charge of choosing Ultimate titles, I'd name him the Ultimate Cook.
Everyone ate dinner happily. We had some random conversations and then headed back to our own rooms.
*Bing Bong Ding Dong*
"This is a school announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, night time has officially begun. The storage room and the baths will be locked shortly. Good night and sweet dreams!"
I jumped into my bed and fell asleep tired of my current situation.
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"It is now 7am. As such, it is officially daytime! Time to wake up and have a beautiful day."
I was feeling more refreshed than usual and decided to eat a nice big breakfast. Kirby was sitting all by himself, so I joined him. We talked a bit and agreed to hang out for the morning.
We went to the music room and messed around with the instruments. Kirby was jumping on top of the piano's keyboard making lots of noise. I found a broken recording machine and Kirby fixed it. We recorded ourselves playing some songs badly and laughed at the horrible sound we had created.
"I'm so glad you were able to fix that machine," I told Kirby.
"I'm glad you found the machine. It's so old, why do they still keep it?"
"I don't know. Maybe the school was trying to be cool by using old technology or something like that."
"I think Jigglypuff would love this. Remind me to give it to her when we go down for lunch."
"Sure thing, pal."
"Man, I love having fun. Just wish we didn't have to be stuck in the same place everyday."
"I feel you. At least a new floor gets unlocked every time we finish a trial."
"Yeah and many weird things always happen afterwards."
"Not as weird as you."
"True, true. I mean, what even am I? What the heck is a kirby? The documentaries were completely useless. This school needs to get up to date. I would pay the school all of your money to get better equipment."
"I don't think you'd be able to afford anything better."
"I guess the food makes up for it."
"I wonder who cooked in the school before. For all we know the cooks were terrible and the food sucked."
"Wouldn't be shocked. Cafeteria food's the worst."
"I love how we're in a shit situation and we're talking about how much cafeteria food sucks."
"That's what friends are for! To talk shit about cafeteria food."
After messing around some more, Kirby went to give Jigglypuff the recording device and I went to eat lunch. I returned to my room and heard a knock on the door. It was Samus. She asked if I wanted to spend some time with her. We ended up going to the faculty room.
We looked around and found many notes written by the teachers. Some were really funny and others were plain weird. We even managed to find the diary of one of the teachers all though some pages had been torn out.
"I swear to God, if I have to deal with that trio of brats again, I will sue them," Samus read out loud imitating an old man's voice.
"Why did he not quit his job if he hated the students so much?"
"The job probably brought in a lot of money. I'm assuming he's some old fat man or something. I don't know why but it just fits very well."
"I agree!" Monokuma laughed popping out of nowhere.
"Let's leave," the blonde girl said while glaring at the bear.
"Oh, no! Don't go! I just wanted to join in the fun."
"I thought your idea of fun was despair and death," I replied.
The bear faked tears and left while moaning about how villains can have fun without death and despair. Samus and I continued making fun of the teacher and his diary.
"Imagine if this crap never happened and we had to go to class with this guy as our teacher," the bounty hunter joked.
"I wonder who he'd hate the most."
"I'm betting it would be Captain Falcon, he's a huge idiot."
"I guess. He is a bit obnoxious but he's a pretty nice person once you get past that."
"Maybe…"
"In the end, I think the teacher would end up hating the whole class."
"Probably. I could never do something I hate just for the money. That guy must be insane."
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you become a bounty hunter?"
"To save people and make the world a better place. I guess it also pays the bills, but that's more of a bonus. I'm happy knowing that people are saved thanks to my actions. Once we are free from this rotten school, I'll make saving people my top priority."
"Sounds like a good plan to me!"
While walking back to the dormitory with Samus, a sudden announcement by Master Hand occurred.
"Everyone in the gym!"
Samus and I made our ways to the gym. Once everyone had arrived, Master Hand appeared.
"Time for the new motive!"
"Why can't you just stop with these motives? No one is going to kill anyone anymore!" Zelda yelled.
"Yeah," Ness agreed, "We're not falling for any of your tricks anymore."
"Say whatever you want, you all know the true outcome anyways. Monokuma! Bring the motive!"
Monokuma ran into the gym holding a cardboard box. He took out some envelopes and gave one to everyone. I opened mine and read the letter in it.
The Mastermind has blond hair.
Kirby's lying about not knowing his talent.
Class 63 has met the Mastermind.
What on earth is this supposed to mean? Does the mastermind want me to kill a specific person? But if that were the case, why mention class 63?
I looked around and saw that everyone was as confused as I.
"Upupupu! They don't get it, do they?"
"Shut up, Monkuma! What is the meaning of this? Why does it say that I've killed someone before? And why was the first murder faked? Why are you and Master Hand controlled by different people?" Jigglypuff shouted glaring at the bear.
"It seems as though I'll have to explain to you idiots what the letters mean," Master Hand grunted seemingly annoyed, "There are three statements but only one of them is true. You are free to believe whichever statement you want to believe. However, there's a twist. One of the letters has only truths!"
"Great, you just had to make things easier to understand…" Cloud sighed.
"How do we-a know who has-a the truths?" Luigi asked nervously.
"You have to figure that out for yourselves. Feel free to have one of your successful little meetings," the hand laughed.
"Wait a minute, how come I have five weird phrases?" Samus asked.
"Lucky you! You got the spoilers for the truth!"
"What?"
"I now declare this meeting over!"
And just like that, the meeting ended. I asked everyone if they wanted to have a meeting to compare the statements and everyone agreed to meet in the music room on the next day.
*Bing Bong Ding Dong*
"This is a school announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, night time has officially begun. The storage room and the baths will be locked shortly. Good night and sweet dreams!"
After the annoying announcement, I went back to my room and fell asleep.
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"It is now 7am. As such, it is officially daytime! Time to wake up and have a beautiful day."
Everyone met up at the cafeteria for breakfast. Luigi had made us some delicious pancakes. Kirby loved them so much that he kept asking for more but Luigi refused and told him he'd get sick if he ate too many.
Once everyone was done eating, we all headed to the music room and went backstage. We decided that everyone was going to read out loud their statements and we'd discuss what seemed true.
"I guess I can start," said Zelda, "The first statement is I'm older than I think. The second one is I'm not really a princess. And the last one is my father is dead. I think that given our situation, the first statement is probably the true one."
"Makes sense," Kirby added, "My first statement is that I'm the Ultimate Copycat. The second one is that I personally know Hope's Peak principal. The last one is I know who the mastermind is. I think the second one would explain my missing memories."
"I think mine also explains the missing memories thing," Cloud announced, "The first statement is that I'm lying about my talent. The second one is I'm related to the mastermind. The third one is I've met everyone in class 63 before."
"Suspiciously interesting," Jigglypuff joked, "My first one is that I've killed someone before. No way that's true. The second one is that the first murder was faked. Yoshi was definitely dead when I saw him, so no way. The last one is that Master Hand and Monokuma are controlled by different people."
"I hope that doesn't mean there is a traitor…" Ness sighed, "My first statement is my powers are fake. The second one is I'm older than I look. The third one is I have a twin brother. I'm guessing the second one is true just like Zelda said, we might be slightly older than what we think."
"H-how-a old are we?" Luigi asked only to for everyone to respond with a shrug, "Um… Someone is-a forcing people to-a kill. Every-a killer killed out of their own-a free will. The mastermind is-a doing all-a the killing. Oh dear, I don't-a know which one is-a true."
"It's okay. There's no way all of yours can be true," Bayonetta smiled, "Mine are the following: the murders are directed by the mastermind, Ness can't read minds and the executions are real."
"Guess I'm last," I stated, "My statements are: the mastermind has blond hair, Kirby's lying about his talent and class 63 has met the mastermind."
We spent a few hours trying to figure out which statements were true and which ones weren't. In the end, the majority agreed that Bayonetta's statements were the most likely to be true, but I couldn't help but feel something was off. Aren't there two masterminds? It did seem like one was in control, maybe they are the one that the statements are referring to. It could be a trick since no one is supposed to know that there are actually two masterminds. I feel bad for Jigglypuff since the majority didn't believe that Monokuma and Master Hand were controlled by different people… She doesn't seem like the kind to kill someone, I hope I'm right.
*Bing Bong Ding Dong*
"This is a school announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, night time has officially begun. The storage room and the baths will be locked shortly. Good night and sweet dreams!"
We spent so long trying to figure the motives out that we didn't see the time fly.
Luigi volunteered to make us dinner since he said he felt that was the only way he'd be useful. I feel so bad for him… He's been through so much… But at the same time, I'm proud of him for attempting to help in his own way.
I ate dinner and went straight to my room. All the thinking had really worn me out. I miss being able to sleep as much as I wanted.
*Ding Dong Bing Bong*
"It is now 7am. As such, it is officially daytime! Time to wake up and have a beautiful day."
I woke up feeling like crap. I really hate this place…
I took a shower to try to awaken myself but it didn't really help. I sighed and headed to the cafeteria half-asleep.
Zelda saw me and decided to greet me. She was the last person I wanted seeing me in this worn out state. Unlike my cousins, I was polite, so I let her have breakfast with me and made an effort to have a decent conversation.
When we were done, I noticed that Bayonetta hadn't had breakfast yet. I asked Samus if she had seen the witch and she said no. We immediately decided to go looking for her.
Samus and Zelda accompanied me and we started by looking around the first floor. Finding no trace of her there, we headed to next floor and to the next one until we reached the fourth floor. It was the only place where Bayonetta could be. We checked all the rooms until only the music hall was left.
When I opened the door a weird smell filled the air. Zelda rushed to the chemistry lab to get us some masks stating that it could be toxic gas. Once the three of us put on the masks and entered the music hall, a horrible scene befell us.
The chairs were a mess and half of them had been broken. The floor was covered in holes made by some acidic liquid. There were blood stains dripping from the piano and on top of it lied Bayonetta's dead body.
"A body has been discovered! A body has been discovered! The trial will commence soon."
"S-she's dead?" Zelda stuttered.
"Why? Why does this keep happening?" Samus grunted.
Once again, I mentally prepared myself for the investigation… For the trial… For the death of another classmate… For the never-ending cycle of hope and despair…
Monokuma: And we're back! The first announcement will be made by Dio-sama.
Dio: If the dog and his duck is the most voted non-Melee character (currently they are), they will take two spots as separate characters.
Monokuma: The second announcement is that from now on only characters that have had two or more votes or that come from Melee can be voted for. The most popular are currently Duck Hunt Duo (most popular non-Melee character), Roy (most popular Melee character), Lucas and Female Corrin.
Dio: The other characters that have only had two votes are Snake, Sonic, Ganondorf, Pit, Lucina, Rosalina and Wolf.
Monokuma: The third announcement is that once the Daily Life of chapter 5 is published, the non-Melee characters making it into the next story will be announced.
Dio: You'll be allowed to vote them or any other melee character until chapter 6 is published. Once chapter 6 is published, the voting will be finished. We'll judge who's the best protagonist material and the protagonist will be announced at the end of the epilogue. And the prologue of the new story will be uploaded on the same day.
Monokuma: Thanks for reading!
A/N: That was long. I finally managed to finish this chapter. I've been working on this chapter since November. I've changed quite a few things. School and a cold were getting in the way. But now it's here! The next chapter should be out around Easter. I hope to finish this story by the end of summer. I'm also planning on changing the format a bit for the next story. I've already got most of it planned out, especially chapter 5 (could change depending on who becomes protagonist).
Thanks for reading and see you next chapter!
