I do not own danganronpa,it's spike chunsoft's property,not mine.
« Talk ! »
'thoughts !'
« Flashback ! »
Narration !
MAKI'S POINT OF VIEW
« I can't believe they actually decided to send Ryoma out there too. »
« It probably won't work,in the better case,he will die,and that's all,and for Tsumugi,well,same. »
« G-guys ! »
Tsumugi came in with bandages around her leg,she was walking,but against the wall.
« Well,looks like she didn't die after all. »
« But she got stabbed on the leg,how sweet. »
« T-Tsumugi ! What happened to you ?! »
« Monokuma stabbed me after I came to the exit ! »
« Wait,he didn't even execute you ? That is definitely not like him,but if Ryoma isn't with you,it means he died. »
« What ? No,he got out. »
« He did ? So he's with Gonta and all ? »
« Yeah,he is ! We did it ! »
'Something is going on,how come she got stabbed but she's still allowed here ? Monokuma would have killed her without hesitation,but she's still alive ? And Ryoma got out ? With that stupid plan of putting him in a suitcase ? She is definitely hiding something from us.'
« I'm coming back,I have something I need to check. »
« I'll come with you,Maki. »
« Not now,Mukuro,sorry. »
« Is it that important ? »
I nodded and Mukuro then walked away,I got out of the gym and went to the exit,as I got there,blood could be seen,this was definitely where Tsumugi was stabbed,but there was a torn out suitcase on the floor,if Ryoma really got out,which was probably the case,then Tsumugi didn't get stabbed by Monokuma,because he would have killed her instantly instead of simply stabbing her on the leg,I took the torn out suitcase and went to the gym.
'Tsumugi,I don't know who you are,but you're going down.'
KIYOTAKA'S POINT OF VIEW
« Why didn't we sent an helicopter to save them ?! »
« Because we couldn't,we didn't have any capable of going to Hope's Peak right now. »
« Then why not just a truck,or even a bus ?! »
« We don't have any bus,and our trucks wouldn't have had enough space to save all of them,and even if they had enough room for them all,they would have been destroyed in no time by the outside world as it is right now,and,finally,it would have taken too much time to actually arrive there. »
« Come on,I know we are far from here,but not that far ! From the moment we knew some people would got out,we should have sent people to get them right away ! »
« Kiyotaka,calm down,we couldn't have known if Monokuma was saying the truth,okay ? »
« Even so ! If he wasn't saying the truth,then that's too bad,we wouldn't have saved them,but we had the chance to actually do something ! »
« We wouldn't have been able to,I just had news that the students of class 77-A weren't far away from town,they probably got the information on us getting there to save them,which didn't happen anyway. »
Munakata came in with the news,apparently.
« Our upper classmates ? But then it means… »
« Yes,if they were all coming without any exceptions,then it means something will happen,and it doesn't represent kindness,that's for sure. »
« T-they were all here ? My old class… »
« Ryota,we know who they are to you,but we can't just let them wander around,destroying everything and let the pass with that,we will stop them,no matter the cost. »
« I-I know ! But none of them are near Kamukura's level ! With strong people like Sakura,we stand a chance against them ! »
« Maybe,but we just can't send anyone to their location,we don't know where they are anymore,and we won't be able to know for a while. »
« Why is that ? »
« Many of our cameras we have that were hidden in the city were destroyed,most of them in explosions,but some by people,on purpose,so we don't know when we will be able to reach them in any ways possible. »
« That's unfortunate,but we just can't lose hope,I'm sure we will find something eventually. »
« I hope so… »
MAKOTO'S POINT OF VIEW
« Who's there ? »
« SANE ? Is that you ? »
« LUCKSTER ? You are out of the game,kid ? »
« Can you open ? We will talk about everything after we arrived safe and sound,but I'm not with the three others,sorry,are the kids here ? »
« No,they aren't,and since I think I understood something,you don't remember two years of your life,there will be a lot to explain,the entrance should be opened. »
« Okay,perfect,thank you,I will see you in a sec. »
« Sure. »
« Well,come on guys,follow me through here. »
« Where exactly is that entrance ? »
« Here,in the bushes,there's a secret entrance. »
I jumped into the bushes and waved to my classmates to do so as well,and then,I took the stairs and the others followed behind,but Gonta and Sakura had difficulties to pass,since they were gigantic and that the entrance was really short,the suitcases didn't really help in that matter,we arrived and the man named Shido Kirishima,or SANE,for coworkers,was waiting for them,but he instantly got in a guarding position when he saw Alterkuma.
« One of those things followed you in here,get away from it. »
« Don't worry about this one,he is with me,I'm the one controlling it. »
« Oh,this is the Monokuma you had with you in the game. »
« Yup,it is. »
« Makoto,you can't imagine how worried we were about you and the girls,you are a good assassin,after all. »
« For you to not be formal,that's something I didn't expect,what happened ? »
« Well,with the situation outside,we had to retreat for a long time,all of this has been going on for two whole months,luckily,we didn't lose anyone,but the kids… »
« What happened to them ? »
« They were kidnapped,we couldn't do anything,and only because of one person,we were powerless against him,and I think this is the person that was working with Junko Enoshima to prepare this game,Kamukura Izuru,the Ultimate Hope. »
« How do you know all of this ? »
« The game isn't just a killing game,but more like a killing show,the game is broadcasted all over the world,this is why there is so many cameras in Hope's Peak,and about Kamukura,well,it's because you gave us the files about him more than one year ago,but you wouldn't remember. »
« I see… »
« So,I guess you got out of the school with them ? »
« Yes,but only one is a new recruit,I present you Kirumi Tojo,the Ultimate Maid and former prime minister,she will be working with me from now on,is that alright ? »
« Oh,she's your maid ? Like Taeko was ? »
« What the ?! You knew ?! »
« We all did from the start,and we would have never killed her,but that was ages ago,so don't think about it too much,now,even if all of you are free to stay since Makoto brought you here,you will have to respect some rules,and,of course,without offense,especially you,but you know why,and well,please don't forget QUEEN,she's not even our boss anymore. »
« Wait,really ? Who is ? »
« Should have known it was a bad idea. »
« Komaru is,since QUEEN can't even beat her up like she used to,now it's more likely Komaru who is beating up QUEEN. »
« That doesn't surprise me one bit,it's totally like her to take control. »
« She probably will always be the strongest out of all of us,but it really did a number on QUEEN,she is scarier than she has ever been before. »
« Well I wouldn't want to piss her off,then. »
« You sure don't,now,why don't I take you to your sister ? »
« Well,actually,I'd like you to give them a room,well,each of it's possible,but if it isn't,well,Kirumi will sleep with me,and make the others take a room by groups of two,well,one of three,since Ryoma wasn't supposed to be there. »
« Right on it,well,you know where Komaru is,go see her. »
« Okay,well guys,I'll join you all after seeing my sister,feel like you're at home in your rooms. »
I waved at them and ran to QUEEN's old office,which was now BASIC's office,his sister,when I arrived in front of the door,I knocked and waited for the door to open,QUEEN was the one to open the door.
« Well,look what the cat bought in,if it isn't the kid,then I don't know who you are,how come you're here ? You already arrived ? »
« Yup,and I already learned you're not my superior anymore,right ? »
« A lot of things did happened in two years,since you don't remember anything,but it has been a short time since Komaru became the leader of this section,at least I can do more missions now,probably a month. »
« And where is she ? »
« Right there,I will leave you two alone,you probably need it. »
QUEEN went out of the room and I went in,Komaru was sitting on the chair behind the desk and I saw that she grew up a lot,not as tall as me,but she was taller than before,her haircut was slightly different,she now had an ahoge,like me,and her hair was slightly green,not as green as Monaca's hair,but still green,and shorter,when I came in,she looked at him with a big smile.
« Welcome back,bro. »
« You sure look different,Komaru,how are you ? »
« Come on,that's the only cheesy thing you have to say ? Can't ya give me one of your famous hugs ? »
« Well,if that's what my sis wants,then I just have to go with it. »
I went to my sister and,like she asked,I gave her a hug,but Komaru made me fall to the ground.
« What was that for ? »
« For being a dumbass,I can't believe you got your memories erased by force,well,the school lockdown wasn't your fault,but still,you're dumb. »
« I always love that when you're so kind to me,but you're right,and if my memories were taken by force,then the enemy must be stronger than we thought. »
« I already know who did that and why you were in the school,you know,everyone does,well,every superior like me or CROWN knows,at least. »
« You know everything ? »
« I sure do,and even if that's not going to please you,you'll have to hear it,as for the kids,well,SANE told you,but I think you have to know why they were kidnapped. »
« I'm ready to hear it. »
« Okay then,but don't say I didn't warn you,you won't like it. »
KIRUMI'S POINT OF VIEW
« At least the room is pleasant,more than in that school,even if the room were really high in price and luxury if you paid enough. »
« You won't have to pay anything here,you'll just have to make sure to let everything as it is,and that's all,I will guide the others to their room,just wait here until Makoto comes back. »
« Of course. »
SANE got out of the room,leaving me alone in it,I started to look around and saw that it was bigger than the original rooms in the school,Alterkuma was in the room,waiting as well for his controller,not moving at all,I thought that having something similar as Monokuma with us wasn't a good idea at all,but I wasn't going to question her master's thoughts or doings.
'I still wish that thing would not be here.'
« This room is surprisingly clean,maybe someone kept it like that while Makoto was not here,I highly doubt his room could be so clean. »
I went in the room on the back and saw it was a bathroom,with a bath and a shower,towels,a closet,toilets,everything needed,but all of those were of a surprisingly great quality,I would have thought that assassins would only need what's necessary,the cheapest stuff except for their weapons,but apparently not,since all of those should have costed a lot,around fifty-thousand dollars just for the bathroom,could it be that this assassin group was one of the most important and strongest one ? If it was the case,then Makoto got unlucy from the start,if he ever got out of the company,like fired or by his own will,he would be tracked down for the rest of his life,I never actually joined a group,but was paid to do missions or make plans for some of their missions,but nothing more.
« I think Makoto will have to stay for a long time in this. »
I got out of the bathroom and opened the enormous closet just to see Makoto,Maki,Mukuro and Celes's outfits in multiple copies,at least ten outfits for each of them were in there.
« I see,they really are an enormous organization,are they not ? »
« I'm not surprised that they are,I mean,it was obvious to me the first time they kidnapped us and left us here. »
« Makoto,I see you are already back. »
« Yeah,and what I learned isn't the most pleasant information of all times,turns out I'm eighteen and I have been a classmates of the entire first group for two years and that I've been your upper classmates for a whole year,since you were a student of Hope's Peak for one year and that you joined a year after me,but that much was obvious,the worst thing is that apparently Junko was our classmate as well and that she betrayed us,so when I see her ugly face,I'm killing her right away. »
« It sure is a lot to take in. »
« I know,right ? I didn't ask if I were close to anyone for that matter,I don't want to be sad now,I will have all the time I want for that when it ends. »
« I do not wish to be sad now as well,maybe we should rest for the day,it was a tiring day,to say the least. »
« Yeah,I'll just go see the others quickly and tell them to rest for now,if I ever have to move,I'll tell you,alright ? Because I think I'm going to want to get outside to see the situation clearly. »
« I see,do you wish me to come with you ? »
« I'll think about it,it will most likely depend on the mission I'll have to do,even if I just came back,I need to see what's happening outside with my own eyes. »
« Then rest before all things,sleep is the first thing you need for the moment. »
« I know,but rest as well,I wouldn't want my new partner pushing herself too much. »
« I will not,I can assure you. »
« Well,then it's all good to me,slee…wait,I remembered something,actually. »
« What is it ? »
« Junko did say that there was a connection,some sort of link between the three different Monokumas before we got out for some reason,right ? »
« I believe she did,why ? »
« Then maybe,just maybe we can communicate with everyone else in the school ! »
« You would not think about calling them this way,it could endanger everyone. »
« It wouldn't,Junko said that if one of those three Monokumas was destroyed,every Monokumas would be deactivated,so she wouldn't do anything to anyone for that matter. »
« Are you even sure it would work in the first place ? »
« I'm not,but we can always try,right ? »
« We can. »
« Alterkuma,I need you for something. »
« What would that be,controller ? »
« Can you enter in communication with Shirokuma ? Or is it not possible ? »
« It could be possible,I will only need to hope he is not in sleep mode. »
Alterkuma froze,and weird noises began to come out of him,but at some point,he began to do a transmission out of his eye,and they saw a wall on that transmission as a weird camera got out of his back.
« Shirokuma,can you hear me ? It's Alterkuma speaking to you. »
« Alterkuma ? But aren't you outside the school ? »
« I want you to begin the transmission as well if it's not already done and to get everyone on your controller's room. »
« Okay,but why ? »
« Because I said so,now do it. »
« O-Okay,Alterkuma ! »
« Done,controller. »
« Perfect,but how did you know what I wanted to do ? »
« I could hear you talk just now with Kirumi,controller. »
« Oh,well that makes sense. »
« I will wait here with Alterkuma,master,could you go search the others ? I am not aware of what room they are in. »
« Well I was going to do that,so just wait here,I won't be long,and please,stop with the master thing,I'm your friend and associate,not your master. »
Makoto got out of the room to go search the others as I heard a voice coming from the transmission.
« Is this thing on ? I can only see a wall. »
I got in front of the camera behind Alterkuma to see who was talking and saw Yasuhiro with Kaede and Rantaro,since it was their room,it was normal for them to be here.
« Kirumi ?! Wait,what ?! Where are you ?! »
« It is a transmission Alterkuma created to speak to you all,Makoto and the others will arrive soon,Makoto went to search for everyone else. »
« Well,at least you seem safe and sound,that's a relief,how are you all doing out there ? »
« There will be a lot to explain,I believe,we need to wait for everyone to gather on your side and on ours. »
« Well everyone is coming,if we can say everyone,since Tsumugi got locked up in her room by Maki,apparently,she thinks she's working for the mastermind,for some reason. »
« She would be right on that matter,but we have to wait for everyone,we will talk about that in detail. »
« Sorry Kirumi,it took me a little longer than expected,wait,is that Yasuhiro,Kaede and Rantaro ? »
« So you really did find a way to speak to everyone,that's amazing ! »
« Those Monokumas are really something in matters of technology,huh ? »
« I would really like to see their programs someday. »
« Didn't I tell you it was a good thing to bring Alterkuma with me ? »
« You did. »
« Gonta can see friends ! Hello friends ! »
« Hi Gonta ! »
« So,is everyone on your side as well,or is it just you three ? »
« Just us for now,well,I think I'll go search everyone,too,Shirokuma already made a quick announcement,but still,I think I'll go search for them,I'll be right back ! »
« Well he's already long gone,huh ? »
« It seems so. »
« What have you all been up to ? »
« Well we just got out like two hours ago,you know ? We didn't do much,but there's a lot to tell,that's for sure. »
« I'm still wondering about something,why are you all together ? »
« Because of the outside world,but you'll understand. »
« There's way too much things I want to know ! »
« Then bring everyone except Tsumugi,even if I don't want to talk much about that psychopath,I don't have a choice,and I will give all of you a choice,even if I don't like that,I know I should have stabbed her elsewhere than in the leg. »
« Wait,you were the one who stabbed her ?! What for ?! »
« I said wait everyone,you will know after everyone is in the room. »
« Okay… »
« I have everyone except Miaya and Mondo,I don't know where they are,so Maki said she would go search for them,and Mukuro is making sure no one approaches Tsumugi's room,she said something about her having a way to contact Makoto too if needed,and that she would do so because she wouldn't attend to our meeting. »
« Okay,she is gonna have the last special Monokuma,after all,so I'll call her later,when Maki found those two,tell her I'll call them tonight,if we aren't already at night,that is. »
« I will do that,Makoto,and I believe I'll join the call. »
« Thanks,Celes. »
« No problem. »
« I didn't find those two. »
« Wait,really ? »
« I even had to check in Tsumugi's room,and they weren't here,so I don't know where they can be. »
« Just how can you miss them ? Like,there's one on a wheelchair and another one that is tall,has enormous clothes and has…incredible hair,to say the least. »
« Don't ask me,they are nowhere to be found. »
« What if they're trapped somewhere ? A place where you can't find them ? »
« Do you know something we don't,Korekiyo ? »
« Not at all,I simply am giving some hypothesis is all. »
« You definitely know something. »
« I can assure you I don't,but that said,as a presumed serial killer,I can smell bloodthirst on this room,but not naturally,somehow. »
« That's because it's my new game ! »
Monokuma jumped in front of the camera Shirokuma had on his back,making us see his face and nothing else.
« You already began a new game ?! »
« Monokuma,what did you do ?! »
« I thought I told you the next motives would be even worse than the other ones,right ?! And even if I didn't exactly began,I think I told everyone something before,well,everyone except the ones that are out there if we don't count Ryoma over there. »
« What do you mean,you didn't exactly began ?! »
« Well,I made Miaya and Mondo sleep,and I told you to enjoy those next three days,right ?! That's what I told you all earlier,it's because you will have nothing planned for the next three days ! I'm preparing something big ! »
« You made them sleep ? Don't you mean you killed them ? »
« I didn't do that,no,to be precise,I kidnapped them again,because they're gonna be an important element for the next game,but now I think I shouldn't make Miaya the victim,so I'll take another girl instead,smoke screen ! »
Some gas began to come out of Monokuma while he laughed.
« Don't worry,it's not dangerous,I'll just kidnap a random girl and put Miaya in the room back ! »
« Guys ! Guys,are you all okay ?! »
« There's too much smoke,we can't even see Monokuma anymore ! »
« She does that when she knows we could have saved them,go to hell,Junko ! »
« J-Junko ?! As in Junko Enoshima ?! »
« Well,thank you,I think I know who I'll kidnap now ! »
« No ! Don't do that to her ! Don't even dare capture your own sister ! »
« Oh well,too late,you know my identity,so why hide it longer ? Yup,I'm Junko Enoshima,the Ultimate Fashionista,Analyst,and Despair ! That's who I am ! You can't do anything about it,though ! I have your families hostage and they could die any minute now ! So don't shit too much with me,bitches ! »
« You what ?! »
« You revealed yourself just like that ?! »
« Well you never really asked my name,right ?! »
« We already asked you that at least a thousand times ! »
« Yeah,true,but I don't give a shit ! You're powerless against me,so struggle all you want,now,I already made someone kidnap Mukuro,and if you want to know everything,yes,Tsumugi works with me since the beginning but Sakura wasn't aware of that ! And there's another person working for me in the school that's not even one of you ! Oh,and for Makoto,when I said I had everyone's families,I have every member of your family since the beginning except one,but now I have them all,do you understand what I mean ? »
« What are you talking about ? You can't possibly mean… I have to go,stay here ! »
« Makoto ! Where are you going ?! »
« Komaru is in danger ! I have to go find her ! »
« Good luck about that ! »
« You really planned everything from the beginning to make everyone's life a nightmare,you're a monster. »
« I'm not just any monster,I'm despair,you little brat ! And despair is stronger than anything in this fucking world,remember that ! Well,I think I can make the smoke go away now,huh ? »
Suddenly,a vacuum could be heard,and a Monokuma could be seen with one since he started to take away the smoke with his vacuum,Miaya could be seen on the back of the room on her wheelchair,knocked out,but still with her eyes opened.
« Is everyone okay ?! »
« I think so,but-»
« Mukuro ! »
« W-wait,Maki ! »
Maki got out of the room as fast as she could while Celes followed her as fast as she could as well,and everyone looked terrified,except Korekiyo,who seemed slightly amused.
« You are insane,you sick fuck ! »
« I already know that ! Oh,and by the way,you nine little fucks that got out,I sent you all your memories ! »
« Our…memories ? »
« Yup ! You have to put them on a certain part of your brain,but I'll advise you to talk to a master of torture to help you put this back,like,I think Makoto's assassin group have someone called REAPER that does things like that and know how to easily brainwash,he'll know how to put those back in your little head ! Kiyotaka received his,normally ! »
« You are… »
« I'm what ? A demon ? A monster ? A bitch,an asshole or everything else you can call me ? Like I don't know that already,tell me that as long and as many times as you want,I don't give a shit ! Now,as I believe I said before,enjoy your three next days ! Those could be you freaking last days on earth ! Upupupupupu ! »
Monokuma disappeared,leaving us here in pure terror and sorrow,Maki and Celes got back and they were just like the others,in a confused state,but a grave one,they didn't understand anything that was happening anymore,even Sakura,Ryoma and Kirumi were scared and confused,and this was a rare sight.
« So that is how you want to play the game,Monokuma ? Then I will play it and win,kukukuku ! »
« You have to shut up in situations like this ! I can't stand you and your fucking laugh ! »
« What will you do ? You are on the other side of this screen,are you not ? »
« Y-you-»
« Do not waste your stinky breath on me,I get your point,but I want it away from me,thank you,cunt. »
Miu froze,having wide eyes as started to look around her weirdly.
« Miu ? Are you alright ? »
« N-no,p-p-please,I'll d-do what you say,j-just d-don't do t-this,I b-beg you ! »
Miu started to sob a lot,uncontrollably,she started to look in front of her,like someone was here when there wasn't anyone,and she began to walk backwards with shaking legs,she fell on the bed and started to look around her to see if there was a way to get out of here.
« Did I perhaps cause her to have some troubling flashbacks ? »
« Do you see what you just did her ?! Get out right now ! »
« I planned to,kukuku ! »
« No,I'm gonna lock you up on a room,you have caused too much trouble so far,you're not getting away with it anymore. »
« Perhaps you wish to be able to do something to me,assassin girl ? At least you are far more pure than this whore on the other side of the screen,would you not agree,Miu ? »
« N-n-no,let me g-go ! D-don't do that,g-get away from me,I-I d-don't want to ! L-l-leave me a-alone ! »
« Do you want to die this much ? »
« So you want to kill me ? »
« Say one last thing to her that will cause her another trauma and I will destroy you. »
« F-friends ! Stop fighting ! Fight not necessary ! »
« Gonta,please,d-»
« Ah,Gonta,you know,I never knew man could be much more pure than a women pure herself before I met you ? So I asked myself recently why I wouldn't try to find male friends for my sister as well,and I believe you should be the first,you will agree to it if you really are my friend,as you say,right ? »
Gonta gasped heavily,not knowing what to respond.
« You are going down. »
Maki started to approach Korekiyo and was going to fight him,but since there was everyone here,she had to fight him even more prudently than if she was on a mission.
« Do not fret,it will be over quickly,as I will destroy you,but not too much,you shall be a friend of my sister later,as killing horrible people is one of the purest things I ever witnessed ! »
Korekiyo was drooling and started to dash toward Maki,but suddenly,he felt to the floor,for no actual reason,but then Rantaro got up,and looked directly at Maki to tell her to take him to a random empty room and to lock him in.
« You were of an actual good help,thank you Rantaro. »
« Don't thank me,I only helped a friend,but,he still is conscious,you know,you should hurry. »
« I will not let you do that. »
Maki shoved her feet on Korekiyo's face,looking really mad.
« Listen,dumbass,we've been tracking you for a long time now,for months you escaped us,and since you're here right now,I know we didn't get you in those two years of lost memories,because I know I would have killed you were you would have stood when we found you,so now you will shut the fuck up and come with me,I won't let you starve to death so that I can kill you once we get out,I hope you understand,because it might be the worst weeks of your existence,maybe even worse than when your sister died,you're a fucking psychopath and you have the same condition as Angie,now try to get that on your brain and think about what you've done for the last three years without counting the two years of our lost memories,understood ? Or maybe you want me to make you learn to accept your fucking condition ? »
« … »
« That's what I thought,now,try to get out of my grip and I'll kill you,understood ? »
« … »
« You decide to play the silent one now,but you should have done that much earlier,you're trapped and that's final. »
« … »
« Pathetic,when the truth is presented like that,it hurts you,huh ? Can't deny a fact,after all,you,possessed by your sister ? Bullshit,you just can't get over her death,that I can understand,losing the person you love and which is a family member hurts,but killing for someone who is dead and never asked you jack shit ? You deserve the same treatment you gave to every girl you killed,understand ? »
« …Ku…Kukuku…Kukukukukukukukukukukukuku ! »
« Yeah,I knew an emotional speech wouldn't get to you,well,since you seem to resist,I'll knock you out. »
On my side of the screen,I was speechless,for Maki to get so angry,it was a first,but I still had to deal with a bigger problem,Miu,who was breathing heavily,panicking,and sobbing way too much for it to be normal.
« Miu,you need to calm down,nothing will happen,he is no longer here,he will never be,okay ? Everything is alright,you are safe now. »
« H-he is gone ? N-not here ? I-I-I'm safe ? »
« You are,he never will be able to harm you ever again. »
« O-okay… »
Miu felt asleep from relief,she was glad that no one would hurt her this time,but that's when Makoto came back in the room,looking like he was going to kill anyone he would see.
« I'm going on a mission. »
« Wait,now ?! With how the outside world is ? »
« I don't care,they got my sister and the ones I can still call family,they took Komaru right in front of me,I'm gonna destroy them so hard that they will beg for me to stop. »
« No,you will not,Makoto,going out there is like you gave up on life. »
« My life ? I don't give a shit about it,and don't worry,I won't die until I got Komaru back,just let me take two guns,my sword and a combat knife,and I'll kill them. »
« Who are you talking about ? »
« Our upper classmates,they work with Enoshima,brainwashed or not,they should have known who they shouldn't piss off. »
« Makoto,at least wait to get your memories back. »
« Memories,what are you talking about ? Those things that the Monokuma brought ? »
« A Monokuma brought them ? »
« I gave them to REAPER so that he could examine those,if those really are our memories,then he will give them to you all and I'll get my memories back after I got Komaru back. »
« You will not go out there. »
« And why exactly ? Would you go out right now to go save the people she kidnapped from you ? »
« I would first wait to see where they are keeping him,and then their minds would go blank in an instant,of course I would do so. »
« Then why aren't you already out there ? You heard Junko,she got them all,what do you expect us to do when she killed them or maybe even made them kill each other ? Nothing,absolutely nothing,now,I'm getting out of here,and that's final. »
« Then let me come with you,kid,I might hate you,but compared to them,I got nothing to lose anymore,do you have a tennis racket and steel balls ? »
« You bet,we have too many of those,come with me,but remember,it might be our final fight,Ryoma,still want to go ? »
« She made my friend scared,my only one,look what state he is in,not gonna let that pass,now,we're killing them,or not ? »
« I'm gonna destroy each of their sorry ass. »
« Hey,Makoto,was the one that took your sister a male ? »
« He is,and he has got some muscles,even though there was a girl with him. »
« Then I'll kick this degenerate in the face,and,even though I don't like it,you'll take care of the girl ! »
« You still haven't mastered every lessons I taught you. »
« Come on,don't give me that excuse anymore,look at the state you're in,you might be the only male I saw that was this angry,so even if I am,you're worst,now shut up and let me come with you,degenerate male ! »
Tenko grinned,but in old fashion,showing she was proud,and Makoto sighed,but sarcastically.
« Guess I'll have to take you with me,then,huh ? If anyone else wants too come,say so,because we're going. »
Makoto said that while he took his sword and one more gun,has he already had one,and a combat knife from his suitcase.
« I might come as well,I think I might have confirmation that they took the person I love the most,he has a sickness,and a grave one,I cannot let them do anything more to him. »
« How do you know they got him ? »
Sakura pointed at the transmission and Monokuma was dancing with the photo of someone on his hands,who probably was the person Sakura was talking about.
« The more the merrier,right ? Now,we are going,even if you don't like it,we have to be equipped,and quick,or we might lose them,but since I kinda expected some of you to want to come with me,I took those. »
Makoto threw a bag on the floor,there were some protections for combat sports,there was,of course,a racket and some steel balls,brass knuckles of each sizes,tasers,practically everything perfectly equipped.
« That's some impressive equipment,but still,I will need more of those. »
« I won't need brass knuckles,but protections are always welcome. »
« I might take brass knuckles,we will never know who we will be facing. »
Before they could even take those equipments,a knock could be heard on the door.
« Makoto,it's me REAPER,I found out what those things were,but,it's not common. »
« Those are our memories,REAPER,it might sound weird,but it's true,give it to everyone else besides us four,we're going out. »
« Decided to go find the two you saw earlier,huh ? I might warn you,we can't find SANE and QUEEN anywhere,RED is off,too,they weren't kidnapped,but you know why they went out there,and I think QUEEN took GUARDIAN with her as well. »
« If we find them,then that's a good thing,if we don't,then that means some enemies might have already died. »
« RED is the most scary when she's angry. »
« Did you ever saw SANE when he was angry ? I can tell you,I already saw the two of them angry,and SANE is fearless when furious. »
« I've seen him furious,not angry,angry is never what you can describe him with,but this time,QUEEN is serious and really pissed off,the enemies don't stand a chance. »
« As a matter of fact,they do,and that's what scares me,but I don't care,fear won't stop me this time. »
« Then be quick,you don't want to lose them. »
« Yeah,I know. »
As they finished equipping,Makoto asked REAPER to give the rest of us our memories back.
« I hope you will all be quick. »
« They won't be,I can tell you that,but still,I have a mission of my own. »
« What would it be ? »
« Give you those back,there's two ways to do it,while you're still awake,but you might have the most painful headaches of your entire life,or when you sleep,and you will revive your memories peacefully,is what I would have loved to say,but everything will happen very quickly,but still,it won't hurt,how does that sound ? »
« I think we will do it while we sleep,it sounds better like that. »
« Heh,you know what ? Give it to me. »
« While you sleep ? »
« No,right now,might sound weird,but pain makes me alive,even if I already think a lot of me was gone a long time ago,might as well give it a try. »
« Ryoma,are you sure about that ? »
« I'm certain,but be quick,we don't have all day,how long will I have that headache ? »
« About an hour or two,I might as well give to you after,are you sure you want to do that ? »
« Ryoma,please,do it after,you don't want to die today,neither do we. »
« I don't think ya understand,kid,I was given a new nickname in prison,the suffering demon,you know why,because everyone in this shitty place wanted me dead because I was the most important prisoner in this whole establishment,but I beated every single one of them,the guards never wanted to approach me,but some prisoners died,at the middle of this long fight,some of my ribs were broken,I lost some toes,three or four,nails,and practically an arm for life,but still,I destroyed them all,at the end of the fight,I couldn't see anything,I was covered in blood,mine and theirs,I had one of my legs shred into pieces from the inside,a hand that popped out,and my back hurted way too much,some of the prisoners died,but not me,and still,I fought some guards while they tried to take me somewhere,I'm not even sure if those were guards anyway,but still,I was given this nickname,that's why I was surprised I could even walk we got into the school,but that doesn't matter,I had all the time I needed to recover from those injuries in two years,now give it to me,we already lost too much time because of my stupid speech,so be quick. »
« Heh,tough guy,huh ? »
« You could say that. »
« Don't move,I have to plant this into your forehead. »
« In my forehead ? »
« Don't move,you won't die from it nor suffer,I'm an expert. »
REAPER took the syringe that apparently contained Ryoma's memories before he stopped him.
« Monokuma said our names were on it,did you verify it was mine ? »
« Well I can check again if you want. »
« Do it. »
REAPER checked and told Ryoma it was clearly his.
« Then do it. »
« I repeat,don't move a finger. »
REAPER then moved his arm really quickly and forcefully planted the syringe in Ryoma's forehead,scaring all of us in the room,since we thought he would die.
« So,it's in place,normally,it should be…here,found it,that's this one. »
He then started to push it a little further,making Ryoma clench his fists in pain and he started to inject the weird liquid into his brain,putting all of it on a certain part of it,after he injected everything,he took it out and putted a pad on his forehead.
« It's to prevent blood to leak,or the liquid as well,you will have flashbacks all day,I'll warn you,but in ten minutes,you'll begin to have an headache,and a big one,so be careful. »
« Yeah,I will be,after I destroyed those guys. »
« Figured,now go,and be as fast as you can,those folks need you. »
« Don't worry about that. »
« Wow,I feel lightheaded,that's actually a really weird sensation. »
« Get on with it,you'll have that for a long time,just don't show it to the enemy. »
« I already know that,but still,thank you,kid. »
« I'm older than you. »
« How old ? »
« fourty-three. »
« Huh,you really are older than me. »
« How old are you ? If I look at you,you should be twenty-five,right ? »
« Yup,well,if you take the two-years taken away from me. »
« Are we going yet ? You're taking too long,you degenerates ! »
« Alright,alright,I'm coming. »
« Be sure to come back quickly. »
« We will be as fast as we can be,promise. »
Makoto waved at us,told Alterkuma to stop the transmission and only then,they got out the room.
« So,who am I taking care of next ? »
KOMARU'S POINT OF VIEW
« So,are you going to release me yet,Nekomaru ? »
« Ya know I can't,not until the kid got his memories back,or until he came,for that matter,but still,he needs to remember to be in the plan,and you know it. »
« Yeah,yeah,but I'm tired to just stay on your shoulder. »
« Come on,old man,get her down,she can walk on her own ! »
« Akane,I can't,for the sake of the plan,I can't. »
« But Komaru is stronger than me,she can walk just fine ! And if those guys find us,well,we will make an excuse ! »
« Urgh,you're both unbelievable. »
« Hey ! I didn't do anything ! »
« BAHAHAHA ! You two are what I call strong and dumb,like me ! »
« You're calling yourself dumb ? »
« And brave,too ! »
« Wait,the phone is vibrating. »
Nekomaru,who was a really tall and buff guy with black hair and blue eyes,wore a black coat with a long silver chain on it,he had a blue jean on him and had a beard across his face,but it was still short,he was walking alongside a girl that had brown messy hair and eyes,she was only wearing a simple white shirt and a short white skirt,Nekomaru had Komaru on his shoulder and was having a call,they were all talking like they were friends,what was happening ?
« Ah,Fuyuhiko,what's up on your side ? Is everything ready ? »
Nekomaru was talking with a certain Fuyuhiko,and received information about something.
« Oh,the kid is coming already and he has some company ? Who ? The aikido girl,the martial artist champion and Tennis Killer ? Well it's an unusual group alright,but why are you telling me that ? »
Nekomaru frowned,but in an happy way,like he received good news.
« You send Peko over ? That's great,we haven't seen her in a while ! Is she nearby ? »
« I'm already here,Nekomaru. »
A girl with silver hair formed into pigtails on the back of her head and red eyes was standing on a roof,she had a Katana with her and she works glasses,she had some kind of school uniform,but in black,unlike Junko's clothes,they were a boy's uniform with the logo of Hope's Peak on it,she jumped off the roof to join the trio.
« Peko! Just like old times,huh ? »
« Even if I would love to chit chat and that I missed you,we don't have time for that,they will soon be on our location,we have to get moving. »
« Can't we just,like,actually fight them ? I'm tired of running away so much ! »
« Come on,Akane,you know the plan,we have to get Makoto back ! »
« I know,I know,but wouldn't it be easier by fighting them ? I'm bored as hell ! »
« Well,I think we will have to go with Akane's plan,because we got company. »
« So,you noticed me ? As always,you get better every time,Peko. »
« Komaeda,why are you here ? »
« For my personal interest,but don't mind trash like me,I'm nothing you should worry about. »
« Well,actually,that's great that you're here,Nagito ! You'll be able to take care of Komaru while we fight Makoto and the other three ! »
« Oh,I see,Hope is coming this way ? I sure don't want to miss that. »
The guy apparently named Nagito Komaeda had white messy hair and cyan eyes,he was wearing a dark green hood with red little cube forms on it,he had a brown jean and had black shoes.
« I'm sure you already knew that,your personal interest will always be hope,that much would be obvious,but aren't you supposed to be in Towa city for the next part of the plan ? »
« The plan will probably won't have to be executed,you know ? Nothing is going according to the plan already. »
« Really ? What makes you say that ? »
« The fact that Ryoma took his memories before coming here. »
« Wait,he did that ? »
« Yes,and even if I didn't expect more from an Ultimate,this is quite awkward,because if he somehow recovered every of his memories in time,the plan would fail right away. »
« Then we just have to take him down before he gets all of them back ! »
« Ah,Akane,you have a spirit for fighting higher than anyone,but still,you know we cannot kill anyone,Junko said not to. »
« You know she wouldn't mind,she doesn't like when everything goes according to the plan ! »
« Akane has a point,and besides,an accident can happen sometimes,right ? »
« You both know our mission is to get Makoto,we can't change the mission without permission,so we won't,now,we have to keep moving,Komaeda,if you want to come with us,you're more than welcome to do so. »
« I will come,I have a feeling things will turn out to be exciting at some point,my luck is tickling. »
« That's never really great when it's tickling,right ? »
« Sometimes it is,sometimes not. »
« My back hurts,can't I get off your shoulder already ? »
« No,you can't,but promised,you will soon be able to. »
« I can't wait for that. »
Peko suddenly got in a fight stance,sword in front of her,and it alarmed the others,so Nekomaru gave me to Nagito and got in a battle stance as well as Akane,and out of nowhere,a steel ball came at and high speed toward them,they all dodged it.
« Guess my aim isn't as good as in the old days. »
« Well,they are here. »
« So that's the degenerate male I've got to fight ? At least he's some kind of decent challenge ! »
« You're the ones who kidnapped my sister,and I'll get her back,simple or hard way ? That's for you to decide. »
« As much as I'd like to take the simple way,I know we won't do that,so bring it on ! »
« Wait,Nidai ? You're one of them ? »
« Ryoma,do you know me because you got your memories back ? »
« No,but because you were my coach back in the days. »
« That's when I was fifteen,I remember that,but it doesn't matter,if you want the girl,come get her ! »
« So,hard way,let's see,what side will it choose ? »
« Huh ? What are you talking about,Makoto ? »
« That's my way of deciding how the ones I have to kill will die,by my hand,even if it's not today,it will be by my hand eventually,or by one of the people they love,brainwashed or not,willing to do it or not,by accident or by murder,in any way possible,it will happen,and I will do it for this one. »
He pointed at Peko,I knew what Makoto's luck could do and I knew that when he explained his method,he was serious,I also knew it really worked because I saw him in action,the coin practically ended on only one side of it every tima,on the side that would make them die by a friend,and it was terrifying to see,because it always happened,that's why he had a public nickname,he began to be quickly noticed,but not as LUCKSTER,his crimes always ended with a coin on the crime scene,he was called Fate,as weird as it could sound,he didn't joke when he used this method,as it always worked and his coins were unique,as he made them craft by a professional,on each side was marked something,on one side could be read joy and on the other side,sadness,joy was because he was the one designed to kill the victim of the coin,and sadness was because it designed someone the victim of the coin was close to,and most of the time,the circumstances they died on weren't pleasant.
« So,what will it be,sadness or joy ? »
Makoto threw his coin into the airand caught it before it felt on the floor,he returned it,and he could read sadness.
« Sadness it is,then,you won't die by my hand,in that case,I will fight you today,since I know there's no risk of you dying from me,or are you supposed to be someone close to me ? Maybe,I don't remember after all. »
Peko looked nervous,it was a rare sight,but it was understandable,I saw the true face of Makoto already,and what I saw hasn't been pleasant,in fact,everyone except me and Nagito were nervous,as Nagito looked at him in pure admiration.
« Heh,you really can be scary when you're angry,kid. »
« Really ? I'm glad you think so,I take my job at heart. »
Makoto pulled out his sword and pointed it in Peko's direction,she did as well,still looking nervous.
« I wonder,Ultimate Swordswoman,why are you sweating this much,could I possibly have scared you ? »
« Not at all,I simply am too hot,because of the heat the pollution gives. »
« Then why are your arms shaking,if it's simply the heat ? »
« Do you find this amusing ? »
« Very,now,am I coming to you ? Or are you making the first step ? »
« You're taking me for a fool. »
« I'm good at that,too,now,since you aren't moving,I'm coming to you,you three,choose who you will fight,just don't interfere in my fight. »
Makoto dashed at Peko with a deadly stare,I swear I saw Peko take a step backwards,and that's when their swords begin to swing at each other,on the two others sides,they were all looking at each other when Ryoma decided to throw a steel ball with his racket at Nekomaru,which he dodged.
« I see you will be my opponent,then,I'm waiting for your next moves,Ryoma ! »
« Hey,I told you all earlier the male my target ! »
« Then fight him with me if you want,but I'm not attacking anyone else,it's a personal reason,after all,he helped me for a good two years to become better at tennis,I just have to take him down,if you want to help me,then I won't stop you. »
« I won't help you,I'll wreck his ass myself ! »
« Good luck,he's mine. »
Tenko dashed at Nekomaru while Ryoma threw a steel ball at him,and then went toward him,on her side,Sakura then took a fighting stance and waited for Akane.
« I'm finally fighting the Ultimate Martial Artist seriously ! »
« You are the Ultimate Gymnast,Akane Owari,are you not ? »
« You know me ? »
« I do,but it is not important,fight me fairly if you are proud of your title. »
« Well,I don't really care about that,it's just simple money,like,that's just it. »
« Then are you really worthy of fighting me ? »
« Maybe not,but I'm still doing it anyways ! »
Akane jumped at Sakura,but Sakura sighed,finding this fight already ridiculous,she could win by one blow already,she knew it,and that's what she intended to do,I knew what she was going to do,she simply dodged Akane by moving the side,jumping toward her and kicking her so hard she sent her flying in some trash that was on the ground.
« Way to go,Sakura ! »
« Akane ! »
« The power of the Ultimate Martial Artist,truly splendid,isn't it ? »
Akane was trying to get up,but simply couldn't since she take too much damage from the kick Sakura landed on her stomach.
« Ugh,h-hell,it feels like…when I fought Izuru,defeated in one blow… »
« I would not have went easy on you either way,but I beated you in one blow because you do not deserve to fight me,your confidence will kill you one day,it would be difficult for you to get up now,as you will not be able to walk for at least the rest of the day. »
Komaru was actually surprised,I didn't expect Sakura to be this good,so maybe I had no choice,maybe I had to fight her at some point.
« I'd suggest you go fight her like you're brainwashed,it would make you less suspicious. »
Komaeda whispered into my ear while no one watched and I actually thought it was a good idea until I heard the sound of a sword break.
« Oh well,still have my combat knife with me. »
« You should hurry,Komaru,or else Makoto will never be on our side. »
« I know. »
I got up,acting like I was brainwashed and looked at Sakura.
« Komaru ? »
« Focus on the fight,luckster. »
« Says the one who has a hole in her hand because of me. »
« This won't stop me from beating you. »
« If you say so,but still,even if I don't beat you,you will still die by a person you love,doesn't that hurt you ? »
« Stop trying to make me lose my focus,it won't work. »
« Then can you tell me what just got through your arm ? »
Peko seemed to notice that Makoto's knife went through Peko's arm,he actually stabbed her in the arm,but still,I didn't pay attention to them anymore and I still went toward Sakura until I was stopped by an horrifying question.
« Are you taking me for a dumbass,Komaru ? »
I still walked like nothing happened,but I actually was sweating bullets,because somehow,Makoto had suspicions on me,like he knew our plan all along,so I kept walking toward Sakura,fearing something would happen to their plan.
« Come on,you aren't brainwashed,right ? »
« She is,kid ! But we sure didn't expect it to be this…quick,to say the least. »
'He's trying to cover me ! Heh,thanks Nidai,pretty sure the plan won't fail like that,but still,we're pretty much dumbasses.'
I started to walk faster,I ran at Sakura,when she saw this,she got in a fight stance.
« Sakura,she may be my sister,but don't go easy on her,she thinks I'm too dumb to see through their plan. »
« Are you sure,Makoto ? »
« I am,don't take your hits easily. »
I frowned,he really hoped I would react until the end,but I didn't,I kept my calm and attacked Sakura with my bare fists while I evaded each of her attacks.
« Komaru,stop when you still can,we all know your fucking plan. »
I didn't react,but I noticed that even when fighting,the other two were actually a little panicked,since they didn't know how they would be aware of it.
« See ? Your friends over here betrayed you,why would they be panicked if your plan wasn't real ? But for what is worth,I guess I might as well tell you that we heard you,dumbass,like,people can hear when people talk out loud,you know ? »
'Is that…really it ? Is that why Sakura didn't react when he talked about the plan ? Because they heard us ?!'
I still didn't react,I was trying to make him think he was wrong.
« Still not admitting defeat ? Then I'll end this quickly. »
Makoto pulled out his two guns and shooted at two random spots,one second later,the ammos finished in both of Peko's legs while she was still fighting,making her fall to the ground as she easily seemed in pain.
« There,now you can't fight anymore. »
« Y-you and your luck… »
But two seconds after,her face had some kind of…blush ?
« T-this is what J-Junko was talking about,the despair f-from getting easily d-defeated by you,now I see… »
Right after she said that,a loud bang could be heard,Ryoma was sent flying on a window and got out like nothing happened,but Makoto could see that he had at least two or three bones broken,but like he already told Makoto,pain made him feel alive.
« Sakura,can you help them fight him ? I'm gonna beat my sister,but in my way,Komaru,you might be the Ultimate Assassin,but it doesn't stop me from using that. »
Makoto showed me the coin and tossed it on the air,I could now see why every of his victims covered in fear just at his sight,when you saw him,it was like you saw the most terrifying sight you would ever see in your life,and that's why I loved my brother,no matter the person in front of him,he would use his coin.
« What will it be ? »
Before Makoto could catch it,it fell on the floor,but what was surprising was that it didn't fell on either side of the coin,but the coin was standing still,the coin felt on a little hole that made it stand still.
« Well,that sure is rare,sadness and joy at the same time,this means that I,the person you love,will kill you,at least I know you truly love me,and I'm glad of that,Komaru,but stop right now,or else you have high chances to die now by my hand,and I know you don't want that,I can see your face,you aren't happy,but sad,stop now,because I will warn you,there is assassins out there looking for you,SANE,RED,QUEEN and GUARDIAN are all looking for you and won't hesitate to kick all of your asses. »
« Well,look how the kid is talking about us,I'm flattered,but you mistook what side we were on,unfortunately for you,there are brainwashed spies all over the place,kid. »
« RED ? So,my thoughts were right,we are in deep shit already. »
« What do you mean ? »
« We probably can't save the others now,since they are already in the enemy's base,our base,to be precisely correct. »
« You mean… »
« We can't go back unless they all die today,that's what I'm saying,so I'll have to try something,just go hide,you three. »
« What are you going to do ? »
« This. »
Makoto took off his long coat to reveal an actual Ak-47.
« I never was a fan of big guns and all,nor do I want to hurt the people I love,but that's them or us. »
Makoto loaded the ammos and then stared me.
« If you want to stop,it's now or never,or else I'll begin shooting in thirty seconds. »
« Kid,you aren't really thinking of doing that ? »
« You don't take me seriously,do you ? Look at Peko's legs one more time and think about it,will you ? »
Makoto just took his simple guns and shot randomly around him,suddenly,I was on my knees,RED felt from the roof she was on and Nekomaru felt backwards.
« Are you all giving up already ? »
« Makoto,I think that's enough,just leave them here,okay ? »
« No,not Komaru,and,I'm sorry,but take one of them,please,not RED,but anyone else you want,oh,and you on the back,Nagito,was it ? »
« What would the Ultimate Lucky Student want from me ? »
« Your Ultimate title. »
« Me ? I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student,but one year older than you. »
« I see,so this thing is organized every damn year,then tell me,who is the Ultimate Lucky Student a year younger than me ? »
« Shuichi Sahara,why would you want this information from trash like me ? »
« Do I need a reason ? I don't think I do. »
Makoto,for some reason,shot backwards when Nagito got up and he fell on the floor right away.
« Sorry,but I can't afford you to move. »
« This male's luck is…scary. »
« I do not think anyone besides him has this sort of luck. »
« Heh,I dunno about you,but I'm taking one of them with me,you should do the same,some questions need to be answered. »
« Didn't he say only one ? »
« So you are obeying a male,now ? »
« Excuse me ?! Obey a male ?! In your dreams ! I'm taking one of them as well ! »
« That's what I thought,can you take coach Nidai,Sakura ? He might be too heavy for either of us. »
« I will gladly do so. »
« Then you take the gymnast,Tenko,I'll need a talk with this one over here,don't you agree,Kuzuryu's tool ? »
« … »
« What's that ? Cat got your tongue ? Hey,Makoto,take your sister and let's get out of here,the Kuzuryu's yakuzas are probably coming to get their baby face leader's personal bodyguard. »
« Sure about that ? »
« Like,they lived together for twenty years,he will definitely want to come and get her back. »
« Isn't that obvious ? Of course I would come to take her back,dick face ! »
A voice could be heard from behind us,they turned around to see a guy with the same black coat and hat than Makoto was wearing,he had a golden eye,but the other one was covered by an eye patch,he had a big and well equipped army behind him.
« You'll have to let them go and hand over the lucky guy over there ! »
« What if we don't ? »
« Then you'll be shot by this guys over here ! »
« Oh really ? »
I was looking at Makoto,he looked like he had a lot of ideas behind his head,and the fact that I saw him grin made me smile and made me happy,he looked like he was already decided on what he would do.
« Because I think your dead mens behind you aren't saying the same thing,you know ? »
« Wha-»
KABAM !
« What the f-»
The wind from the explosion blew practically everyone,it made Ryoma,who was hurt and looked like he was in more pain than before and Kuzuryu,who was the closest to the explosion.
« W-what the hell happened ?! »
We all actually looked scared because of the scene cause by the explosion behind the yakuza,bodies,there were bodies of dead soldiers everywhere shred into pieces because of the explosion,only a few were alive,and Makoto took his Ak-47 and shot them down before they could react to the situation.
« Wow,you sure caused a scene,kid. »
« That's not usually what I do,but still,that'll have to do for now. »
« Y-you can't actually be serious… »
« Then answer that for yourself,do I look like I am to you ? »
I could feel the tension growing up,Kuzuryu was scared,and just like for Peko,it was rare,on the other side,Peko fainted because of the blood loss,even if she didn't really lose that much blood,Tenko looked like she was about to throw up,Sakura stayed calm but it was clear that she couldn't stand the view of so many corpses and Ryoma was grabbing his head like it was about to explode,I still didn't want to react,in case he didn't find out,which was likely not the case,Makoto the grabbed his gun and shot two times at Fuyuhiko's right,Fuyuhiko noticed and got out of the way,but still ended with one hole in each leg,he screamed in pain.
« Argh,fuck,how did you do that ?! »
« Luck,that's all. »
« Don't tell me that explosion was from some fucking luck ! You set this shit up somehow ! »
« Maybe,maybe not,who knows,the person that helped might be here,or maybe no one even helped me,for all you know,why don't you look around,if you're so sure that all of this was planned ? »
I looked around while Fuyuhiko was doing so as well,I didn't see anything or anyone suspicious,but I could swear that someone was looking at us from somewhere,and that's when Makoto whistled.
« You can come out,now. »
A masked teenager came out of nowhere and walked toward Makoto,he had a rabbit mask and was dressed in white.
« Hi Crazy Rabbit,how are you ? »
« C-Crazy Rabbit ? You mean the youngest serial killer known to this day ? »
« He sure is,aren't you ? »
« Well,I think so,Fate,but how is big sis doing ? Like,you were with her all the time,right ? »
« Don't worry,Jill is fine,as good as she could ever be,and she wants to see you,I'm sure of that. »
« Really ? I'm so happy that big sis thinks of me when she's not around ! »
'Crazy Rabbit,of all people,Crazy Rabbit was the one to mess with their plan,of course he would be,he owned Makoto one,after all,but just how ? How did Makoto even contact him ?! It wasn't part of the plan ! We were supposed to capture Makoto,not being defenseless against him !'
« Maybe we could go talk to her by transmission after we're done here,SANE,QUEEN,GUARDIAN,you know you can come out,now,right ? »
« How did you even know ? »
SANE,QUEEN and GUARDIAN got out of their hideout and came toward everyone.
« RED is here,why wouldn't you be ? »
« D-damn you,Makoto,I just wanted us to be reunited again ! »
« By taking my memories back,right ? Well,guess I won't take them,then,tell me,Komaru,why are you only reacting now ? All of this could have been avoided,like,hell,if you didn't decide to show up so early,maybe your plan would have worked,but still,you decided to have none of it,at least you can't say I didn't warn you. »
« I just wanted you to be with me ! We could have done what we always wanted,destroy every adults ! The ones that destroyed our life,Makoto ! »
« Is that so ? Then why did you join them ? We could have easily done it together,but no,you just had to join the ones that had more fire power,huh ? Well too bad,my luck is fire power in itself and might be stronger than all your weapons,sis,and because you made one wrong choice,you're now sealed by fate,and you'll have to be my victim,happy of yourself ? »
« You really…wanted to do it with me ? You would have destroyed the adults with me ? »
« Of course,dumb little sister,I would have done that,but at least only the one that deserved it,I think you know better than me that some of them are actually good. »
I sighed and teared up.
« You just have to be so stubborn,don't you ? »
« Yup,that's who I am,I won't change,I will never change,so,are we going,everyone,we have work to do,like,save the others. »
« You really are something,you know that ? »
« Yeah,I do,SANE,don't kill QUEEN,but make her sleep. »
« You do know SANE is brainwashed,right ? »
« Now is he ? »
SANE putted a syringe in QUEEN's neck to make her sleep,and it worked pretty well,since she fell on the floor,face facing the ground.
« Oh come on,now he isn't even brainwashed ?! »
« REAPER and GUARDIAN as well,I made sure I moved a little bit before getting brainwashed,their technique wasn't as good as REAPER's one,nor so efficient,but still,if you just moved a little,it wouldn't even work. »
« What the actual fuck ? »
« Don't worry about details,worry about the fact that I will make you talk a lot,Yakuza boy,but I think you and your bodyguard will enjoy spending some time with Ryoma over here,remember him ? »
« Oh fucking hell no,I'm not doing this shit,I'm calling Izuru right fucking now ! »
« You'd better check your phone before saying that,baby face. »
When Fuyuhiko took his phone,it was smashed,the thing was broken.
« Don't tell me you did that without me noticing ?! »
« No,you just broke it when you fell because of the explosion. »
« You and your fucking luck ! »
« I know,right ? That sounds ridiculous,but my luck is bigger than anyone's luck,even this guy's luck,though he seems to have a lot of luck,I don't know if I can sense that because I'm a luckster but still,you're one lucky guy,aren't you ? »
« A praise from you,I sure am lucky today. »
« Weird,but you'd make a good assassin if you weren't under Junko's brainwash. »
« Believe me,I want her down as much as you do,but I think that bigger the despair is,stronger the hope will be. »
« Yeah,you're definitely creepy. »
« Aren't you too,though ? »
« Didn't say I wasn't. »
« You know,you won't win,kid,you might have took us down somehow,but you won't be getting away with this ! »
« Says the guy who's defenseless against a bunch of teenagers. »
Makoto took me on his shoulder,ordered SANE to take Fuyuhiko with him and told GUARDIAN to take RED and QUEEN under both of his arms,they made their way to the base,Ryoma had painful headaches on the way toward there and Tenko had to throw up at some point because of all this massacre.
« F-fucking hell,I'm running out of blood… »
« Don't say dumb stuff like that,you'll still survive,so quit being a crybaby,will you ? »
« A fucking crybaby doesn't lose blood because he got shot,dick face… »
« Come on,Kuzuryu,you'll love it here,having a little talk with Tennis Killer will be fine,right ? »
« I'll be sure to take good care of you,my dear Yakuza friend,we'll have a little chat together,with your girlfriend,too,okay ? »
« D-don't dare touch Peko ! »
« Even brainwashed,you still love her,huh ? Then tell me,in the Yakuza world,it's the rule of the strongest,right ? You already used that against me,I'm only getting my revenge for what you did to my now dead girlfriend,but killing her would be too kind for someone like you,you're going to live a nightmare after my headaches are gone,oh,and Makoto,I'm pretty sure that those things aren't our memories,because I don't even remember anything yet after two whole hours when it was supposed to only last two hours,so those are just supposed to be something to piss us off. »
« Pretty sure I saw that coming,but maybe it'll work when you'll fall asleep. »
« And kid,before I go nap a little,just let me tell you,I should have never took you for the one responsible of my girlfriend's death. »
« I could have saved her,blame me all you want,it's normal,she never did anything wrong and I'm supposed to save good people,I never told you properly,but I'm sorry for your loss,Ryoma,at least you'll be able to get some kind of revenge for what happened to you. »
« Well,maybe I'll have a talk with QUEEN as well,then,if that's her codename. »
« Heh,good luck with that,she's a tough one. »
« I don't doubt it. »
Makoto and Ryoma then parted ways,Ryoma went to sleep as all of their prisoners were taken to the base's infirmary.
MAKOTO'S POINT OF VIEW
« Hey guys,we're back,everyone else just went to take a nap. »
« Finally,you are here,the memories did not work yet,apparently,but the others are still sleeping,as they took it a little while after me,I suppose. »
« Sorry it took so long,I just had a lot information to take in,but that's alright,you know,it's them or us. »
« You clearly are not alright,Makoto,I can see that in your eyes. »
« What is there to see in my eyes ? »
« Your tears flowing out,maybe ? »
« Guess I didn't see that,huh ? »
« You did not,do you wish a massage to calm you down ? »
« No,I'm good,I think I just…need to lay down a little,I did horrible things today,and I'll need to think about what I did,you know ? »
« I see,do tell me if you want to talk about it. »
« Maybe when everyone will be on their room,then I'll talk about it. »
« I will be here whenever you want. »
« Thank you,Kirumi. »
« Without a problem,Makoto. »
I threw myself on my bed,but I knew I still had work to do,so I got up and told Kirumi I would be back in a minute,I got in the conference room,where important speeches,like for code red or lockdown are made because I made an announcement to make everyone come and told SANE and GUARDIAN to help me,even if I didn't like what I was about to do,I had his guns with me,I would need those,I told GUARDIAN and SANE to take their favorite weapon with them,when everyone was here,I then asked one simple question.
« So,who's working for Junko in here ? »
