Well then...read on and enjoy!
Ch. 21: Chika Sōgū
Ikusaba's words seemed to have pinched a nerve onto Nagisa, as he is starting to have doubts over his actions, as he began to recall the painful years he endured at the hands of his abusive parents years ago, in which he only killed them about two years ago, and then recalled how Enoshima CONVINCED them that rather than committing suicide, he should take out his tormentors and create a PARADISE FOR CHILDREN only, which led to the present time, and now Ikusaba is psyching him out just to lower his guard which seemed to work as Nagisa is starting to waiver at his convictions.
"Look at you...you are confused...Junko-chan is just using you!"
"No...you lie!"
"Are you sure...?"
"Shut up!"
"Then stop this madness! Turn back now!"
"Shut up!"
"Open your eyes! Junko-chan has fooled you!"
"I said enough!"
However, he somehow regained his composure and began to use his fighter robot to shoot down Ikusaba, but she somehow evaded the gunfire and ran around in circles to confuse the pilot and looked for a wsy to pin down the robot so as to force the pilot out, but Nagisa was able to hold his ground his ground and kept on the defensive until a few Monokuma robots arrived, and Nagisa stated that he cannot go back and will create a paradise for children no matter what, and to make the adults pay for their abuses, which Ikusaba silently stare at him while looking for a way to get out of her current situation.
"You won't stop me!"
"..."
"Enoshima-senpai gave me hope!"
"..."
"I am not going back!"
"..."
"I'm gonna make this place a paradise for kids!"
"..."

A few minutes later, Fukawa, Yuta and Komaru are traveling the stairs, and they can hear the sound of battle from above, and they realized that Ikusaba and Nagisa has started the battle, and the trio had no choice but to move ahead without her. Komaru was starting to get worried, but Fukawa told her that they can't stay here and that they have to move ahead, which Yuta agreed, and they persuaded Komaru that they have to get going.
"Come on, Komaru...or else they're going to catch us!"
"She's right, Komaru-chan..."
"..."
"Geez...this is no time to be moping around..."
"Komaru-chan...we need to get going...I promise we will leave this place together..."
"Really...?"
"Really."
"O-okay..."
Reluctantly, Komaru nodded and the trio moved forward as they walked the stairs downward further in to the subway station, which was just a minute away.
Upon their arriving at the underground subway station, the gate was reinforced by a shutter. Komaru started to panic, so Fukawa said that the shutter was locked by someone and that there must be a clue left somewhere. After searching, they found a key from the corpse of a station worker who was killed by the Monokuma Kids.
"Fukawa-chan...Komaru-chan...look!"

"I think I found a key..."
"Really?"
"Yeah...here, Komaru-chan...you take it..."
"..."
"That's it...huh?"
When Komaru took the key, a Monokuma Kid suddenly hit her and stole it. Yuta helped Komaru up and asks her if she is okay. Nodding, Komaru said she is okay, but Fukawa told her that a kid ran off with the key and the trio decided to go after her.
Komaru, Yuta and Fukawa then chased the Monokuma Kid until they arrived at a construction site. Inside, the Monokuma Kid climbed the building because he knew that Komaru and Toko couldn't climb. As Yuta and Fukawa looked around, Komaru suggested they go around the building entrances and trap the Monokuma Kid in a dead end. Arriving at the dead end, they found a challenge letter from the Monokuma Kid to come to the hospital, the place where Komaru and Toko's journey began.
"Look..."
"A letter..."
"Read it, Komaru-chan..."
"Are you sure I should read it...?"
"Yeah..."
"Go on, Komaru-chan..."
"Okay..."
"..."
As Komaru read the letter, the Monokuma kid attempted to attack them but Yuta intercepted him, and the trio soon subdued the kid into submission.
After they manage to beat the Monokuma Kid, who ran away crying, they take the key from the safe and return from the hospital to the underground subway station. The trio traveled farther which lasted several minutes, and soon they came across an area where the lights turn on and the trio realized that they were expected, and yet they remained clam as they observed the surroundings they are in.
"Geez...just what we need..."
"Komaru-chan...you need to calm down..."
"I know, Yuta-kun..."
"You two need to brace yourselves...looks like we're in trouble..."
"Yeah..."
"We know..."
"Sure wish Ikusaba were here..."
"Komaru-chan..."
"Yuta-kun..."
Komaru, Yuta and Fukawa realized that they had been trapped in the center of a coliseum full of a cheerful audience of Monokuma Kids and the leader of the Warriors of Hope, the 'Hero' Masaru Daimon appeared. He boastfully claimed that he will be the one to banish all of the "demons" from Towa City to make a paradise for the children.
Komaru tries to reason with him but Masaru would not budge.
"Look...we can talk this out..."
"No...you adults are liars!"
"But...we're not..."
"Yes you are...you're all the same! Adults abuse children...we will change all of that!"
"How can you...?"
"We can! And you will be the latest!"
"How...?"
"Here is a preview of what you DEMONS are about to become...!"
After saying this, he opened a trapdoor beneath him, revealing the corpses of countless adults. Masaru stated that those are all the remains of the adults that he has killed.
"There...that is what you three are about to become!"
"N-no...!"
"This is how we run things here!"
"You..."
"Me and my friends...we'll see to it that the children would live freely...away from the abusive adults!"
"..."
"Everyone...cheer for me!"
"..."
As the Monokuma Kids continued their applause, Masaru began to feel fear and tried to calm himself by beating his left hands. Komaru who see this tried to tell him to stop, but Masaru didn't listen to her and begin to fight her after he was satisfied.
Komaru and Yuta began to move around in circles to evade the fighter robot that Masaru is riding and managed to avoid getting hit, and they began to use the Hacking Gun to weaken the machine, which took several minutes, yet the two younger teens were able to hold out and keep on using the run, evade and strike tactics, as she followed Yuta's instructions. As Komaru distracted Masaru, Yuta uses his athletic speed and uses the Hacking Gun dish out more damage until Fukawa changes into Genocider Sho and uses her scissors to disable the controls of the fighter robot.
Following a fierce battle, the girls and Yuta overcame Masaru and his robot, which resulted in the Monokuma Kids executing him as his punishment for losing. Both Komaru and Yuta were horrified at what they did to him, but Fukawa replied that his execution was too simple, believing it was just for show. The trio left, only to find that another subway station had opened. The trio then decided to enter, aiming to find an egress from the town. Someone, however, had already been watching them without their knowing.
"..."
"..."
"Just great..."
"Fukawa-chan...?"
"What do we do now, Toko-chan..."
"Hmm...don't know..."
"..."

Elsewhere within Towa City, the scene shifts to Hagakure and Kanon, and there it shows that the two go inside an abandoned house so Kanon can go to the bathroom. As she uses the bathroom, Hagakure took the opportunity and holds her purse and decides to peek inside in case there's something he can "borrow", but she has very little money, which he became a bit dismayed as he wanted to EARN in order to save money for HIS FUTURE.
"Geez...nothing much here..."
He is disturbed, however, to find out that her pocketbook features "Big Brother Leon Hell", dozens of pages with just his name up until the ink ran out. The last page reads "They're called 'Future Foundation', but it's not my future. I'm going to crush that group of hypocrites one by one."
Yasuhiro realizes that Kanon loves Kuwata in a twisted way and blames Future Foundation for his SUPPOSED death.
Hagakure sensed that the Ultimate Despair may have concocted something that made the captives believe that the Future Foundation is a villain group and he wondered how to tell her that Kuwata is still alive.
By then Kanon returns and he acts like nothing happened. The two keep going and Hagakure wonders why is she traveling with him, especially since he isn't useful to her in any way. He gets more and more paranoid and decides to read his own fortune, seeing two possibilities - a collapsing tunnel and Kanon crying her eyes out. Hagakure protests at first and tells about his fortune, but in the end they go into the subway.
Kanon notices his attitude change but thinks it's just because of the toothpick she put in his hair at night. Hagakure decides to ask her opinion on Future Foundation directly, which immediately makes her realize that he has read her pocketbook. She kicks him on the ribs without warning and starts to strangle him in an attempt to kill him.
"You!"
"Gack!"
"So you're one of them!"
"Gack!"
"Fucking Future Foundation! I'll kill you! I'll kill you for killing Leon!"
"Gack!"
"I'll avenge Leon! I swear I'll kill all of you!"
"Gack!"

Meanwhile, at Future Foundation, the scene shifts at the medical bay, where Maizono is waiting, and she wondered what kind of tests she is about to undergo, unaware that the doctors are about to conduct a secret pregnancy test, and they were insturcted by Kirigiri to keep it as simple as possible as they do not want to freak her out as well as to confirm if Maizono is pregnant or not. The medics are preparing the equipments and they glanced at Maizono, who is in her usual self, and the two medics wondered why they are conducting a secret check up if Maizono is pregnant or not.
"Seriously...if this is just a pregnancy test...why do we go through all this...?"
"Kirigiri told us to do so..."
"But...do we have to be secretive about this?"
"Beats me..."
"Geez...if she is...what then...?"
"Let the 14th Division deal with this..."
"I suppose so..."
"..."
By then the doctor, who is a female, came and greeted Maizono, and tells her that the surprise check up is about to commence, which she nodded, and the doctor commented that Naegi is BLESSED to have an ATTRACTIVE and CUTE girlfriend which Maizono blushed at the compliment, saying that THINGS HAPPENED for a reason.
"Oh...? Is it love at first sight...?"
"Hmm...I suppose..."
"So what made you fall for Naegi?"
"Well...he's cute and caring..."
"I suppose that you two might have a BRIGHT FUTURE ahead..."
"Really?"
"Yes...well then...let us begin..."
"Okay..."
After that, the doctor led Maizono to the lab where the secret pregnancy test is about to commence.
To Be Continued... .
