Danganronpa v4 – Chapter 2: Playing, Punches And Grudges
(It's the day after Nekomaru's trial… I've just woken up, and I better go see where everyone else is. They'll probably all be at the picnic tables outside the concert hall.)
*She walks outside of her cabin to see Peko standing there staring at Ibuki's cabin*
Me: Are you OK, Peko?
Peko: Yes. It is just that Nekomaru and Ibuki have sacrificed themselves for this bear. We *will* overthrow him one day, and that is my promise.
Me: Yeah, we'll all do it together, so long as we stay friends! I'm sure of it!
Peko: As am I. Now, I am going to meet everyone for breakfast. Goodbye for now.
Me: Bye!
(I walked to the picnic area to see all of us there.)
Hajime: Good morning, Mishukaru.
Aoi: Heya! Mornin'!
(Everyone exchanged greetings, but Byakuya was the one who broke the subject that we were all trying to avoid.)
Byakuya: So, do you think there will be another murder?
Aoi: Don't speak like that! If you keep speaking like that at this rate, there will be, and *YOU'LL* be the victim!
Sakura: Hina… Calm yourself.
Hiyoko: Oh dear. Big boobs is getting on her high horse, or knowing how slutty she looks, more like her high dildo!
Peko: That's enough. Don't speak like that.
Celeste: Byakuya has a point, though. Is it not possible that another murder will happen given the current situation?
Mukuro: I think not. I mean, it's not like the blackened can leave, right?
Sonia: No, I think Monokuma means to imprison us here until there is one of us left.
Aoi: Uh-!
Leon: Didn't Monokuma say something about a new island, too?
Kazuichi: Yeah, let's go explore it!
(I'd quite like to explore it too!)
Mahiru: Well? What're we waiting for? Let's go!
Zain: Hold it. One second.
Zain: I think we should explore it in groups so no… Inconveniences happen…
Me: I agree.
Gundham: I willingly third your choice.
Me: OK, but who will pick the groups?
Hiyoko: Me, of co-
Zain: I'd quite like to go with Aoi.
Sakura: I'll join you.
Aoi: I guess it's OK as long as I'm with Sakura… But don't do any assassin things to me, OK?!
Zain: I promise you, I won't.
Celeste: Well then. Who will pick now?
Hiyoko: I wan-
Byakuya: Celeste, you look like one of the few who has logic here. Let's go, and you Mishukaru.
(Really?! *These* guys? They're both so rude and horrible.)
Celeste: We do not have all day, so if you do not mind, scoot.
Me: O-Ok…
(We walked behind the concert hall, leaving the others and walking in a dusty trail to the new "area".)
-Main Path—
This place has a totally different atmosphere from the main Island. The trees cover it a small part less and there is no sky, just white.
There are buildings on each side of the cemented path, but they are not very tall. They all have a label on them saying something.
-Main Path—
(I should go inside some of those buildings later.)
Byakuya: I say we should go to the Playing Park.
Celeste: What? That is out of character for someone like you. Are you OK?
Byakuya: I'm fine. Now move.
Me: But weren't you the one who said we should all investigate together?
Byakuya: Of course. Celeste just thinks that she is on my level, and I don't like having her around where I am. Get out of my sight. Mishukaru, come with me.
Celeste: Sorry. I will not act like this again.
(With that, Byakuya grabbed my wrist and started taking me to the Play Park. I looked back and Celeste looked like nothing had happened. It must be that girl's Pokerface…)
-Play Park—
There were a few swings and a zipwire, they all looked brand new. There was also a roundabout.
-Play Park—
(Oh? Who's that? Zain, Hina, and Sakura!)
*They walked up to the trio*
Sakura: Good morning, both of you.
Byakuya: Why are we over here, pest?
(Byakuya was looking at me…)
Me: It's nice to s-
Byakuya: No. We said good morning when we all met up there.
Aoi: Hey! Shutup! She was just trying to be nice!
Byakuya: Stop talking, pest.
*WHACK*
(Aoi slapped Byakuya with such force his glasses fell off and he fell over.)
Zain: Calm down, Miss Asahina. Don't pay any attention to him. He's only here to wind you up so that you will kill someone in his "game".
Zain: Anyway, Miss Jungan. What are you here for?
Me: I-I just came here to say good morning…
Aoi: Oh! Hi then! Would you like to join us in our investigation around the area?
(Hina's kind smile returned and she waved. Sakura and Zain were smiling.)
Me: Sure!
(I just couldn't refuse an offer from two nice people! But… That Zain. He's very mysterious…)
Sakura: I've found nothing interesting here.
Zain: I've found something quite curious.
Me: What is it?
Zain: I'd like to know where that Zipwire leads to…
Aoi: Well, why don't we try it?! I'll go first!
Zain: Ladies first, which one of you would like to go?
Sakura: I'll tailend behind everyone so that if anyone falls I can catch them.
Me: OK, then, that means, I'll go second.
Aoi: OK, Leeet's GO!
(We all scrambled up the ladder, and Aoi went on the mssive zipwire in the air first. She was swinging, swinging, swinging. She jumped onto the roof of somewhere with an open door.)
Aoi: *Shouts* It's fine! Come one Mishukaru!
Me: I… Guess I gotta do it!
(I ran next to the zipwire that Aoi had pushed back and leaped onto it. It was such a thrilling ride!)
Me: *Jump* Phew, that was actually quite fun.
Aoi: Heh, I know right! Now we just gotta wait for the others!
(After she said that, Zain and Sakura both swooped in, and we all looked into the door.)
Sakura: That door seems to have a ladder.
Aoi: Yeah, we should go explore it!
Zain: That would be clever…
Me: Judging by what the door on the main path said about this room, this is the "Tool Room".
Zain: I never would of guessed.
Aoi: Hey, there's no need to be mean!
Sakura: Why don't we all just climb down that ladder… After all, we can't stand on this roof all day…
Me: Good idea!
(After I said that, one by one, we all climbed into the tool shed.)
Aoi: Ahhhh!
Zain: What's wrong, Miss Asahina?! Are you OK?!
Aoi: G-Get out, Zain!
Zain: Why me?!
Aoi: Because you're an Ultimate Assassin! Look how many weapons are in here that you could use! GET OUTTTTT!
Sakura: I'll give you a room report after we've checked here, Zain.
(Aoi looked petrified as Zain went over to the door.)
*He twisted the handle but the door didn't open*
Zain: Wh-What?!
Aoi: WHAT?! IS IT STUCK?!
Sakura: I believe it *is* stuck.
(Monokuma popped up out of nowhere.)
Monokuma: WhWh?!
Zain: Why are you here?
Monokuma: Someone said something was stuck. I was making sure nothing dirty was going on!
Me: Urgh!
Monokuma: Something dirty obviously *isn't* going on, so wazzwrong?
Sakura: Well, that door seems to not move.
Monokuma: OK, well… I have *NO* idea!
Zain: Don't lie to us.
Monokuma: I'm NOT! When I looked into my surveillance cameras, nothing or nobody was inside or outside of there! Honestly, I was just about to go onto the Monitor to display the motive, but I guess I'll have to sort this out first… Geez.
Aoi: …How *are* we going to sort this out?
Me: Maybe we should try to knock the door down?
Monokuma: What did you just sayyyy?
Me: I asked if we were going to knock the door down!
Monokuma: NO!
Me: Uh? What is it?!
Monokuma: Such audacity! That is something I just can't forgive!
(Don't…Tell…Me…That…I'm…About…To…Get…PUNISHED?!)
Monokuma: That… type of language makes me need to add this new rule! Grrr!
*New Rule added to E-Handbook*
"No students may knock doors down. Ever."
Zain: Do you really think we're bothered?
Monokuma: Duh! It's not like you can get out of here unless you go to that ladder and jump down. That means you could dieeee~! Puhuhuhuhu!~
Aoi: Ah!
Me: We're not afraid!
Monokuma: OK, then! Goooodbye!
(With that, Monokuma disappeared like he normally does, leaving us four with an obvious idea of what to do.)
Aoi: Let's get going, then.
Me: Wait, what? Why don't we look at what's in here first?
Sakura: Yes, that's a good idea.
(We all checked the room, but only found a few workshop tools and a crate that only a pocket knife could open, according to Zain.)
Aoi: Hey, Zain, you better abandon all of your creepy assassin weapons, because if something happens, you'll be the obvious suspect!
Zain: Yeah, you're right.
*He left all of his knives and other weapons in another empty crate, but there was no lid to put on it*
Me: OK, guys, let's go now.
Sakura: Yes.
(We all climbed up the ladder, and took the plunge of the jump onto the path.)
Aoi: Phew! What now?
*DING DONG DING DONG*
TVKuma: Good day, scouts! Please could you all come to the "Dead" End to see me for something *very* special!
*Bzzzt*
Sakura: I think we all know what this is for…
Zain: The motive.
(Hiyoko walked out of the store, crying.)
Aoi: Hey, Hiyoko, what's wrong?!
Hiyoko: I-It was only some sweets weren't there! D-Don't judge me!
(With that, she ran off to the "Dead" End.)
Sakura: I guess we better go, too…
*They all walked to the "Dead" End*
-"Dead" End—
There were pictures on billboards of people…
1 – A girl with purple hair who looked like she was sitting in a shower who had a kitchen knife stuck inside her chest.
2 – There was another girl who was suspended inside some changing rooms
3 – There was a fat boy who was dead in a room full of hammers.
And many more.
All of the life here had gone away, and it just looked like a desert.
-"Dead" End—
(Everyone was here to see the disturbing images laid out before us…)
Monokuma: Welcome, rabies and gentlegerms, to my death ceremony! Ah-hahahaha!
Leon: Your "death" ceremony?
Monokuma: Yes! These are all of my victims from other things during a very sad and lonely event! Puhuhuhu~!
Aoi: V-Victims?
Monokuma: Come on, now! Don't be silly! You guys need to bring hope! It's the only thing you've got!
Byakuya:… Why are we here?
Monokuma: For your motive, of course!
Byakuya: Hmph. I see, so the game begins again. Interesting.
Peko: And what is this… "motive"?
Monokuma: Basically… If nobody dies in 12 hours, every single on of you's talent will be taken away! Ah-hahahahaha!
Aoi: Ah! But, look at all of my swimming records! Not like I would kill anyone to get them back though!
Celeste: Hmmm, if all of my money went, that would not be good…
Zain: You wouldn't kill for it, right?
Celeste: Do not try to manipulate me.
Kiyotaka: Of course! NOBODY WILL KILL EACH OTHER WHEN I'M HERE!
Monokuma: Puhuhuhu!~ You'd be surprised!
Monokuma: Goodbye!
(…He left again.)
*DING DONG DING DONG*
TVKuma: It is now 10PM! From here on, everything will be locked (including gates), but since I know you're all over there, I'll give you five minutes until you're all trapped!
*Bzzzt*
Mukuro: I don't know about you, but I'm going to sleep. Goodnight.
Aoi: Yeah, me too.
(Everyone eventually left… apart from one person.)
Me: Hey, Kyoko, are you alright?
Kyoko: Yes. I'm just gonna look for some more clues about our location, or just the place in general. I'll find somewhere to sleep. Goodnight.
Me: Ummm… Night?
(I walked back to my cabin after that.)
*Inside cabin*
Me: Gee, Kyoko is quite strange, but I guess she's just trying to help…
*She slowly fell asleep*
*DING DONG DING DONG*
It is now 7AM, meaning Nighttime is officialy over! Have a great day, scouts, and rise and shine!
*Bzzzt*
(I better go to the picnic area…)
Me: Morning guys!
Peko: Hello.
Zain: Salutations, Ms Jungan.
Aoi: Haii!
(We just chatted about nothing in general whilst eating, and so after that people just hung out in places.)
Who would you like to spend Free Time with first?
Aoi
Byakuya
Sonia
Leon
Mahiru
Kyoko
