EMBRACE YOUR DREAMS OR FALL INTO DESPAIR Part 1 BEGIN

(I woke up with the events of yesterday playing out in my mind. Kiyotaka Ishimaru the Super High School Prefect was executed for the murder of Aoi Asahina. I completely understood the reason why he did it. His belief in not giving up even if he had to commit murder and what is said to me. Maybe it's time I try and step up to the plate. But I am not certain if I could do it. I am just an ordinary person. How can I lead a bunch of people with talents much greater than mine)]

(I shook of the self-doubt and headed to the dining hall)

Makoto Naegi: "sigh"

Sayaka Maizono: "What is the matter Naegi?"

(I smiled weakly)

Makoto Naegi: "I remember when Ishimaru would keep criticising me for being late. Now thinking about it, I am sad he is gone."

Sayaka Maizono: "Me too"

Mondo Oowada: "…."

Hifumi Yamada: "I recommend you sit down Master Naegi"

Makoto Naegi: "Sure Hifumi"

(I sat down with the others and the meeting began)

Byakuya Togami: "With Ishimaru gone who is going to end up leading the group. I am not participating and couldn't care less though"

Hifumi Yamada: "I nominate Master Naegi"

(They all looked surprised at first but then)

Leon Kuwata: "Yeah, your right now that I think about it"

Touko Fukawa: "While I do not like his optimism I do admit…..he has saved our butts during the class trial"

Mondo Oowada: "…."

Makoto Naegi: "What's the matter Oowada?"

Mondo Oowada: "No it's nothing, continue on"

(It was clear he was hiding some sadness behind his fac. Being part of a biking gang he would have to look tough in the eyes of everyone even if he was hurting inside"

Chihiro Fuijisaki: "I will support you, Naegi. You have helped me through a hard time. I will support you as leader"

Byakuya Togami: "Fine then, but don't get into my away. Makoto Naegi is the new leader of the group"

Monokuma: "So you have prepared a new sacrifice. That's good"

Leon Kuwata: "What are you doing here man,"

Sayaka Maizono: "I think he has come here to say that a new section of the floor has been opened"

Monokuma: "Dammit, am I really getting too predictable here. If you don't want me fine. Have fun exploring the next part of the school"

(The Beat disappeared all grumpy)

Leon Kuwata: "What is he so mad about?"

Hifumi Yamada: "My guess, Master Leon is that he has underestimated the power of 3D Intuition"

Leon Kuwata: "What the hell is..."

Celestia Ludenberg: "Look it does not really matter. Let's just go exploring and find new areas that will turn up nothing as expected"

(Celestia looked like she was very agitated)

Makoto Naegi: "What's the matter Celestia?"

Celestia Ludenberg: "SHUT UP, GOD YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!"

(She looked like she was very angry with me. She stormed off)

Touko Fukawa: "What's up with her?"

Byakuya Togami: "Maybe she is getting annoyed being stuck in this building"

(I could not deny that possibility being the reason why she was so pissed off)

Makoto Naegi: "Mondo do you want to come with us"

Mondo Oowada: "Sure…fine"

(We decided to split into two teams: Hifumi,Byakuya, Celes once Hifumi finds out where she went and Touko in one team and then Mondo,Leon,Sayaka,me and Chihiro in the other team)

Chihiro Fuijisaki: Are you sure he is going to be all right?"

(He was clearly indicated to Mondo)

Makoto Naegi: "sigh", at some point I would like to talk to him"

Sayaka Maizono: "I can help you with that if you like."

Makoto Naegi: "I would rather do it on my own"

(Monokuma finally allowed us on the next floor. Me,Chihiro, Mondo and Sayaka headed off to one of the rooms)

Sayaka Maizono: "This is the art room, correct?"

Chihiro Fuijisaki: "…..it seems like it…"

Sayaka Maizono: "I got to admit that these sculptures are pretty beautiful however, they are ruined by Monokuma's face on them"

Monokuma: "Oh come on, you cannot deny that my face is full of beauty and wonder. It's like staring into space from the ground. It has infinite possibilities and everything about my face is wonder and mystery"

Leon Kuwata: "Ummm, no man. Your face looks just like a normal stuffed toy would look expect you are robotic"

Monokuma: "Did I just hear you call me a stuffed toy"

Leon Kuwata: "…Yes…"

Monokuma: "You are just asking me to get your throat from your tiny body and rip it out"

(A shocked Leon ran away screaming)

Sayaka Maizono: "Was it really necessary to threaten him in that way"

Monokuma: "It was not necessary at all, I just like to do that to those who have their glass half full"

Chihiro Fuijisaki: "Glass half full?"

Monokuma: "It doesn't matter, anyway time to get back to your explore full of despair…upupupupu"

(The bear left. I decided this was the time to talk to Mondo about his problem)

Makoto Naegi: "Hey Mondo"

Mondo Oowada: "Sorry but I just want to be left alone"

Makoto Naegi: "You have not been talking to anyone since the beginning of this morning"

Mondo Oowada: "...I'm weak"

Makoto Naegi: "What do you mean when you say that your weak"

Mondo Oowada: "I may be strong as hell physically but mentally I am weak. I accidently caused my brother's death and I still have not forgotten that. On that day someone who was very close to me lost their lives. Yesterday Ishimaru who I admired greatly was executed for the murder of Aoi Asahina. Tell me Naegi, what I should do when I fail to protect the people I care about. I trained in order to protect people and I have failed"

Makoto Naegi: "Listen, nothing was your fault. Both your Brother's death and Ishimaru's, do you think they would have blamed you for their death?"

Mondo Oowada: No they would not"

Makoto Naegi: "You need to live in order to make their sacrifices worth a damn. If you don't then those two people you really cared for would have died for nothing"

Makoto Naegi: "So hold your head up high and don't falter. You are strong physically. You can do it, you can clear all the doubts about yourself you just need to try and try again. Remember what Ishimaru said"

Mondo Oowada: "Never give up"

Makoto Naegi: "Correct"

Mondo Oowada: "You are right, Ishimaru would have told me if he was stil here to never give up and keep moving forward…thanks Naegi I feel a bit better"

Makoto Naegi: "It's okay"

(We shake hands)
