MAKOTO'S POINT OF VIEW
« The two of them ended up in animatronics ?! »
« It's what I said,and I learned that Junko is the mastermind,but…would you know something about that ? »
« I'm sorry to tell you that she is,Mukuro,I didn't want you to learn about it like that,but that's how it went,so,you might find that as an horrible thing to say,but I'll kill her for what she did. »
« I know I can't stop you,but,isn't there just a simple way ? »
« I'm sorry,there isn't. »
I was currently on a live call with Mukuro with the help of Alterkuma,I knew I would destroy it afterwards,but I still wanted to make a last call.
« Did anyone get out ? »
« Angie and Mondo,but I don't know if they're out yet. »
« And has anyone died ? »
« Fortunately,Korekiyo got killed by the animatronics,but the first one to have died was Himiko… »
« … »
I was angry,she was injured but Junko still putted her in the other game she organized.
« I'm so sorry I couldn't protect her. »
« You couldn't have done anything,and besides,you might be wrong about her state. »
« Huh ? What are you talking about ? »
« I don't know if it's normal,but…she's here,sleeping. »
« What ? You're joking,right ? »
« Well,see for yourself. »
I took a girl sleeping on my bed and it really was Himiko.
« How can she even do this ? »
« She did that when Korekiyo tried to kill her too,but for her to actually appear this far from the school ? I wouldn't have see that one coming,that's for sure,but just how ? She kinda teleported all the way to the outside world,not so far from the base,but still,that's not…normal. »
« Do you think that it's real magic ? Normally I wouldn't say that but now ? How would anyone explain this ? »
« I don't know ? I'm not sure at all,but still,we have to find out how,that might be impo-MUKURO,WATCH OUT ! »
« H-huh ? »
« BEHIND YOU ! »
I noticed that someone was approaching Mukuro with a knife,and this someone was Maki,Celes was now getting up as well from the bed she was on.
« M-Maki ?! »
Mukuro caught Maki's arm to stop her from stabbing the soldier.
« W-what are you doing ?! »
« Wow,Monokuma gave us some great quality hosts,I might not be used to weapons,but I still know how to kill people. »
« Celes is coming ! »
Celes was approaching Mukuro with a knife as well,so Mukuro decided to kick Maki in the stomach and immobilize Celes to do the same with Maki right after.
« You both can't move now,what are you doing,you two ?! »
« We are not your friends,soldier,but you might remember us from before,maybe you should be worried,our physical strength might not be as equal as yours. »
Maki was saying strange things that both of us didn't understand,but what we did understand is that both of them broke the ropes that were maintaining them from moving.
« Maybe you will want my name,so I will introduce myself to you,I'm Freddy Fazbear,but no,this doesn't mean this is a crossover story at all. »
« The fourth wall,please. »
« My apologies,the one in your other friend's body is Golden Freddy,a replacement of my original suit in case I'm deficient in any way possible,I might have told that earlier,but we always come back. »
Maki grinned,she was totally different than usual,and if what was said was true,then we should call her Freddy,and Celes would be called Golden Freddy,but what the hell were they talking about ?
« You can't be the animatronics we faced earlier,it's technically not possible. »
« We've been transferred into their heads,or recreated in them,to be precisely correct. »
« What do you even mean ? »
« It means that we are now second personalities of the students we are in,do you understand ? »
« But why would you kill us then ? »
« It's our task,to try and kill you until six am. »
« Six a.m. ? Why only six a.m. ? »
« We're programmed to be active at twelve pm and give their places back to the students at six a.m. »
« But now that you're in a human body,you can feel things,right ? »
« Excuse me ? »
« Emotions ! You have access to feelings and emotions,now,why don't you just try to enjoy life for what it is ? »
« We already were feeling things before,don't get me wrong,I'm just accomplishing the task I've been given. »
« You know that you would be useless to the person that gave you that task after doing it,right ? »
I spoke up,hoping I could try to do something for Mukuro.
« I would be aware of that,and so ? »
« Don't you want to do more than just what you're being told ? There's a lot of things that you would be useful for in the outside world. »
« I know the state of the world,everything is destroyed,did you really think I would fall for that ? »
« This is why you would be useful,you could see more things than before,you could just be yourself. »
« Myself is killing people and doesn't do it for Monokuma. »
« Your hosts are assassins ! You can still kill people ! »
« Even if this is true,why would I play by the rules of the world and do people a favor ? Your group specifically kills the scumbags of earth,so tell me why I would be on your side ? »
« Because you will be able to kill for a longer time than under Junko's orders. »
« Oh really ? And how can I know you won't try to erase me when you will have the chance to ? »
« Because I could just give you your old bodies back or even new bodies. »
« What would this new body be,then ? »
« Depends on what you want. »
« Surprise me. »
« Will you let me show you images of what your body could be ? »
« Of course,if you get my attention,I will be on your side. »
« So easily ? »
« Life isn't what you expect sometimes,luckster. »
I messaged Monaca about getting a photo or blueprints of one of the Exisals to know if we could recreate more of them.
« True,true,oh,Freddy right ? »
« What is it ? »
« Did you know that Himiko Yumeno is still alive ? »
« Funny joke,my partner crushed her head with his feet. »
« Well,we all know it was supposed to have happened,but she's right here,I wouldn't say not injured,but safe now. »
« Show her to me,then. »
I asked Alterkuma to show her on camera and he did,Himiko was here,alive,at the same time,I received a text from Monaca that was saying it would take a long time but it could be possible,she also said that she was searching for photos or blueprints on her phone.
« How is that even possible ? »
« Magic,I suppose,I found her outside,not too far from the base,asleep,she was lucky I found her,but I still want to know how she even went out of the school. »
« So it's the second time she did something like that,teleportation,I never expected magic to be real one day,but apparently,it is. »
« Can I ask you a question,Freddy ? »
« What would that be ? »
« Why did you say that we weren't equals on physical strength,I mean,if you are on Maki and Celes's bodies,you should be,right ? »
« Physically,you might think so,but in raw strength,we are stronger,as a split personality,we can keep our strength,which was far more superior than you,even the martial artist would have difficulties against the pressure our weight could do,and as we were made of metal,we might be slower. »
« Did you even see how fast you were running ? »
« Were we that fast ? »
« You really weren't aware of your speed ? »
« Who knows ? So,are those images coming or are you willing to make us wait the whole night ? »
« One sec,I'm waiting for them,the photos will be sent to me in a moment. »
« Aren't the bodies in Tokyo ? »
« They're in Towa city,even if you might think those things aren't real,they are as real as I am. »
I received blueprints of the Exisals as such as images,I approached the camera and putted the phone in a way they would see it properly.
« Makoto,what are those ? »
« The Exisals,that's what the kids told me anyway,they created five of those in total but Monaca told me it would be possible to create more,with time,but more,we would be able to put you in those with the help of some people I know. »
« The programmer and the inventor,that wouldn't surprise me,but those things,what are they for ? »
« From what I understood,they were weapons,and not little ones,they can easily jump high,destroy a wall just by running,one of their hands is some sort of cannon and has different sorts of guns around it,even has a flamethrower and well,crushing things with this thing is clearly easy. »
« And why would we go on things like that ? In what way would we be useful exactly ? »
« You can be everything,we have Towa city under control,and let me tell you,I plan to make it something great,at least for the association. »
« Towa city ? I see. »
« Under control ? What do you mean,Makoto ? »
« I've been promoted,I'm the tactician of the boss,and I know what I'm doing,don't worry,since the kids wanted to kill all the adults,they were actually making a game to kill them all,which I stopped. »
« You're the tactician of the whole group ?! »
« Yup,that's what I am,I saved a lot of people by going to Towa city,a lot happened,I will tell you more later,but the question right now is,do you accept or not ? »
« Why not ? I wouldn't mind a little more free will,but while I accept,will the others do as well ? I cannot say that they will for sure,but I will tell them anyway,Golden,are you in ? »
Celes made a thumbs up while being the alternate version of Freddy,but without emotions.
« Then we need two for now,but I know we'll need more than that,I know we will be at least five. »
« Okay then,I will tell Monaca that we'll probably need more than five. »
« I'll come back with the others as soon as possible,just wait for us. »
« If you say so. »
Maki and Celes went out of the room being the animatronics they're still supposed to be inside,when they were out,I heavily sighed.
« I thought they would never agree to this crazy idea. »
« Then it's not true ? All of that wasn't true ? »
« No,it was,I really offered them a place inside the group,but it wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have called you,in a way. »
« Maybe,yeah,but,seeing Maki and Celes like that just scared me to death,and that's not often… »
I noticed that Mukuro was on the verge of crying,she was really close to that point.
« Mukuro,do you want to talk about anything else that would…cheer you up a little ? »
« …yeah,I'd like that. »
I told everything that happened to Mukuro in the outside world,but in a funny way,just to make her laugh,I knew she wasn't a baby,but she was still sixteen in her head for now,as she didn't have her memories yet,she might be a soldier,but every soldiers would cry if something happened to their family,and since she knew her own twin wanted her dead,she was obviously about to cry a lot.
« And that's all that happened,right ? »
« Yeah,for now,I'm still looking for SHIMMERING,I don't know if QUEEN survived Ryoma's vengeance and I hope not,and well,I practically found all student of class 77-A and I saved everyone's loved ones,there wasn't anyone for us except for Maki,the old man was here,long story and all,and I even saw someone that hates me,you know Ibuki,right ? »
« Ultimate Musician,right ? What about her ? »
« I forgot that you didn't have your memories back yet. »
« I will get them back eventually. »
« I hope so. »
« I think that they're coming back. »
« The presumed animatronics ? »
« They're definitely here. »
« How do you know ? »
« Because Kaede just broke the door down. »
« Oh,I guess it explains that. »
« Look at that,the kid's acting all mighty and offers us a deal,so,show us the robot,they might be in,but I'm not unless it interest me ! »
« And who are you supposed to be ? Because it's really weird to see Kaede like…this. »
« You might call me Nightmare,the one that's hidden in your own shadows. »
« Yeah,I'll do that,but it's just stressing me out to see Kaede like that. »
« You're gonna have to get over it. »
« I know that,can I just have all your names ? »
« Me first ! Me first ! I'm Funtime Freddy,and the little bunny I have right here is Bon-Bon ! »
Rantaro was the one who talked,he seemed a little more energetic than usual,if not a lot,he actually had an animatronic on his hand,a little blue bunny that didn't have legs.
« Can it talk ? »
« He can scream very loud ! »
« No thanks,don't do that. »
« What a party pooper ! »
« So,who's next ? »
« I guess it will be my turn,my name is Nightmare Fredbear. »
Yasuhiro talked,I never actually saw him serious,but this time around,he was as serious as could I could be sometimes.
« Well,nice to meet you,I guess. »
« Just let me tell you something before all of this,we know who our friends are,and you're one of them for now,but only if your plan works. »
« We don't have to be friends,but I guess we can be coworkers. »
« If that benefits anyone. »
« It does,who's next ? »
« Me,I'm Nightmare Freddy,you don't want to piss me off. »
Miaya was the one to talk,seeing her able to walk was a weird change of view.
« Well seeing you walk is clearly weird to me,that's for sure. »
« Nightmare Freddy,we both know that you're not the strongest guy here,don't play tough when there's four of us stronger than you in the room without counting the original boy over here. »
« Hmph,say what you want,you're not the strongest either. »
« Who said I was ? »
« No one. »
« Then why are you still talking ? I want to know who's in the robot,he didn't talk from the start but we know he has been caught. »
« I'm the only one who knows,then,good luck in finding who it is. »
« No fun,Nightmare,no fun,you should learn to lighten up the mood sometimes ! »
« No thanks. »
« So,who's in the robot ? »
« I'm Fredbear,and I want you to know that it will be hard for you to convince me in any of your plans. »
Fredbear was in Keebo,who probably wouldn't enjoy having multiple data in him.
« I already know that,but that's normal,so I don't care,there's no one left ? »
« There's me,I'm a bear as well,Monokuma,and I'm destroying you all for the sake of the script ! »
« What the fu- »
There were four Monokumas in the room,three with two weird tubes and the last one only had,well,one.
« Those things will be going away now ! »
The weird suction cups on the tubes acted like vacuums and went on the students that had been given the animatronic as a split personality,after it was done,they all were unconscious and on the floor.
« What ? You didn't actually thought they would have lived,right ? It's not a crossover story ! »
« Stop with the fourth wall ! »
« Ah,sorry,so,as I was saying,I destroyed the animatronics since they were betraying me,oh,and Makoto,say hello to the person behind you. »
I pointed a gun behind him.
« Who's here ? »
« Kamukura Izuru. »
I turned around to see that he truly was here,the man of all his problems.
« You're here,but why would you be here ? »
« I'm getting Junko's AI back,if you'd excuse me. »
« Stop where you are,I have something to show you,and believe it or not,you will be surprised. »
« You do remember he can't be surprised nor feel anything,right ? »
« Then why did he cry for Chiaki that day or why was he surprised by the guy that could have killed him the day you began all of that ? »
« About that… »
« That's what I thought,oh,and the thing I want to show you begins with a C,I won't tell you what it is,though,and you can't find it,I'm sure of it. »
« Just take me to this surprising thing you want to show me. »
« Interested now,are we ? »
« No,you might just have took a random object and placed it in a room. »
« Sure about that ? »
« Why do you seem so confident ? »
« Because not even Junko knows about this,I'm the only one to know what the surprise is. »
« I don't even know it ? Now that's interesting. »
« Is that an object ? »
« I won't answer you,be patient and you'll see. »
« Be careful,Makoto. »
« I'll have to leave you for now,Mukuro,see you later. »
« Don't die until one of us comes back. »
« I won't. »
I ended the call with a knife between Alterkuma's eyes and I took the thing that made Junko's AI exist inside Alterkuma.
« That's what you want,right ? »
« Yes. »
« Then come with me first and you'll have it,no matter what will happen,you'll have it. »
« I guess you can always try to surprise me. »
We both walked out of my room and met some surprised faces,mainly the ones of class 77-A,who were more afraid than surprised.
« W-what the hell is he doing here ?! »
« He wanted something from me and I want something from him. »
« A-and what is this thing ?! »
« Junko's AI,well,I guess you will be able to see the surprise after him. »
« T-the surprise ? »
« Just wait for us to come back. »
« I won't come back after this. »
« Then let's make a bet since you sound so sure of yourself,if what you see makes you cry,you're on my side. »
« And if I don't ? »
« You can do anything you want to me and my associates. »
« You're putting us in this ?! »
« Let him do what he wants. »
Ryoma came in and threw a cigarette on Fuyuhiko's shoes,Peko seemed clearly uneasy around him and Fuyuhiko as well,but it was normal after all.
« When he's confident like that,it means that he knows what he's doing. »
« Ryoma,what did I tell you about showing up in front of these two ? »
« I kinda forgot,sorry,but I know I'm not in danger,so bye,I'll go torture QUEEN a bit more and I'll come back later. »
« How much did you beat her up ? »
« You'll go see for yourself,Makoto. »
« If you say so. »
Ryoma left as quickly as he came in,Peko was still shaking a little and Fuyuhiko was blue of fear.
« So he finally got his revenge,I see. »
« Yeah,not really happy to see the results,but you know how this works,let's get moving. »
I walked down the hallway and stopped in front of a door,I unlocked it and talked to Chiaki behind it to make sure Izuru couldn't hear what we were saying.
« Hi,are you awake ? »
« I am,I woke up ten minutes ago,but I am,why ? »
« Can I come in ? There's someone I have to show you to,I think you know who it is. »
« H-Hajime ? Is it Hajime ? »
« Sort of,alright,I'm coming in,Izuru,you can too. »
« Okay. »
Izuru did as told and stopped in track when he saw Chiaki,it's like he froze in space and time itself,suddenly,he approached her,he touched her hair,arms,legs,even her face to see if she was real,Chiaki pouted and Izuru looked at me in confusion.
« How ? »
« How what ? »
« How did you even save her ? »
« What kind of dumb question is that ? You already know the answer. »
« Luck,of course it would be luck,it's always luck with you isn't it ? »
« Why don't you just look at her for a second here ? »
« But I- »
« Talk to her,she can hear you,see you,she's alive and that's all there is to it,understood ? »
« …when did you find her ? »
« After you left,she was unconscious and barely breathing,or alive,for that matter,she had lost way too much blood,there was a lot of injuries,I got helped by REAPER to heal her and luckily,she lived,if I wouldn't have been an assassin,she was dead,and hey,I think I won the bet. »
« You didn't yet. »
« Oh really ? Chiaki,what do you see on his eyes ? »
« Tears… »
« What are you talking about ? »
« If you don't believe us,then look in the mirror over here. »
Izuru walked to the mirror near the fridge and saw tears,a lot of tears under his eyes,he didn't know why he was crying,just like when he saw Chiaki in pain that day,he cried for an unknown reason.
« Why am I crying ? »
« It's good to see you,Hajime. »
Chiaki,with a lot of effort,got up and hugged Izuru from behind,they didn't move for what felt like an hour but actually was only three minutes.
« …It's good to see you too,Chiaki,even if I'm not Hajime. »
« You will always be to me. »
« So,satisfied with the amount of surprise ? »
« Very. »
« Seems like I won our bet,didn't I ? »
« You actually did. »
« I always win a bet when I make one,you should have known why I'm being called Fate. »
« I don't think I care about losing anymore. »
« See ? You can be happy when you want to. »
« …I guess so. »
« Well,even if I hate to break the moment,since you're on my side,I need you to do something for me,Izuru. »
« Can I hug him for five minutes before he has to go ? Pleaaaaaase ? »
« Of course,take your time,I'll just explain the mission in front of you,and that mission should be obvious,if you know what I mean,I didn't think it would happen this quickly,but it seems like I was wrong. »
« Let me guess,you want me to stop the killing game ? »
« You got it,but be careful,Junko will probably create more artificial Ultimates like Tsumugi,she created a monster by giving this girl every talent,she will probably do that on herself as well. »
« Then we just have to create another one,someone who knows to fight and learn quickly but don't actually have a talent. »
« I can only think of Maki when you say it like that,she's talented,but she's not an Ultimate. »
« Are you sure you want her to do it ? »
« I'll write a letter,she'll recognize my way of writing for sure,I didn't want her to get involved in this more than she already is,but it's already too late for that,and while you're doing this,I'll go kill Tsumugi,I know you sent her to the future foundation,you can't lie about that,I saw it on live. »
« You recognized her ? »
« Not at first,but they showed the maze and I saw Miaya,so I knew why you didn't give her the wheelchair. »
« So she did show the maze on TV. »
« You weren't sure ? »
« I knew there were cameras but I didn't know it was broadcasted,I didn't check. »
« No problem,as long as Junko dies by my hand or anybody else,I don't actually care,here,take her AI and go,but you'd want to hug her back first. »
Chiaki looked at him and pouted like a kid,so Izuru did hug her back,patted her head and went to the exit,smiling.
« Aren't I the best ? »
« Aren't you a man with an oversized ego ? »
« Of course I am,I always had a gigantic ego in the first place. »
« Well I noticed that since some time now,you should go write that letter,I think. »
« I think he knows that I already gave it to him. »
« You did ? »
« To be honest,I kinda knew he'd come for the AI,but I didn't know when exactly,so I prepared everything before,because I knew it would happen this way. »
« Don't actually tell me you planned all of this. »
« I did,well,sort of,I just took a bet and said he'd cry. »
« So that last part was luck as well,huh ? »
« Like always. »
« You're too much lucky,even for your own good,you know that ? »
« Of course I do. »
« And too calm about it,I think. »
« Isn't that a good thing that I'm calm about it ? »
« Maybe not sometimes. »
« You might be right,but that's just how I am. »
« I know that too much,shouldn't you go do your assassin things now ? »
« I have work,that's for sure,I'll need to go pay a visit to the future foundation when Izuru will come back,considering he didn't lie to us,of course. »
« You think he would lie ? »
« There's always the possibility that he pulled an act. »
« I just hope he didn't. »
« My luck tells me he was genuinely happy to see you. »
« That makes me happy too,I think. »
« Yeah,that's nice,but I'll have to leave you for now,I'm sorry. »
« You don't have to be. »
« Maybe not,that's true. »
« Well,go then,if you're busy,be quick,I think. »
« Okay,see you later,Chiaki. »
« See you later. »
I went off the room and I was happy of today's results,they were actually great,so I had no reasons to worry for now,Fuyuhiko approached him after he went out of the room.
« So ? What happened ? »
« Maybe you'd want to go see into that room for yourself to understand. »
« What does that mean ? »
« Just go and you'll understand. »
« Well okay,I guess. »
I walked off and encountered Ryoma again,who seemed to have a question for him.
« What do you need ? It's written all over your face that you want to ask me something. »
« I heard what you were talking about with Kamukura and I talked to him about it. »
I sighed but I knew where he was getting at.
« Let me guess,you want to do it instead of Maki ? »
« Nope,I'm doing it,but Maki will too,if we need people that know how to fight and learn quickly,then I'm in,the more the merrier. »
« Why am I not surprised ? »
« Because you're way smarter than what you like to show. »
« Probably,we're entering the final act,aren't we ? »
« Guess you could put it like that. »
« Yeah,so,when will he come to take you to the machine ? »
« In about two minutes,after he took the AI to Junko. »
« I'm faster than you think I can be. »
Izuru was already here,the sudden appearance made the two of us have a feeling of deja-vu,but it didn't matter,since he came way faster than we thought he would.
« Are you ready,Ryoma ? Just know that there won't be any coming back from this. »
« I already know,I've already spent a lot of time being bored,a little more won't hurt. »
« Okay then,don't move,I'll take you there in seconds only. »
Izuru grabbed Ryoma by the arm and left a cloud of dust behind him.
« That was fast. »
Makoto sighed again and went in his rooms to take gloves,a coin,a gun and a combat knife,his favorite equipment.
« Well,time for a mission of my own,Tsumugi Shirogane,you will be dead in less than an hour. »
IZURU'S POINT OF VIEW
« You're setting us free ? Just like that ? »
« Yes. »
« Well I won't question it,but who are you ? »
« An ally of some sort,I worked with Junko at first,but I'm with someone you know well for now,Makoto Naegi. »
« You're the guy I saw on those pictures and on the call. »
« Yes,and your brother saved someone important to me,I'll still need to take Maki with me,here,have this,Makoto wrote it,he said you would recognize the writing. »
« I do recognize it,he says I'll become like you ? What does that even mean ? »
« It means that you will become an Ultimate,and artificial one,like me,you will benefit every talent that you could think of. »
« Why would you want me to have that ? »
« To fight the next thing coming toward us,you see,I'm stronger than Junko,but she's somewhat of a threat,and if she ends up with my talents,it will be difficult to stop her,that's why Ryoma wanted to help as well,so he's currently being changed,Mukuro,Taeko,take the other students to your base,I'll deliver your memories later,oh,and just so you know,Himiko isn't dead,don't ask me why,I don't know either,for once. »
« How do you want us to trust you ? You said you were working with Junko,right ? »
« And I'm betraying her. »
« He seems nice to me if he wants to beat Junko ! »
« You're too gullible,Yasuhiro. »
« Hey ! That's not nice ! »
« It wasn't meant to be,anyway. »
« We need to be fast,and you're wasting time,just get out already. »
« And how do you want us to get out with the giant door ? »
« I blew it up. »
« Excuse me ? »
« Do you want me to repeat ? »
« No,but…you blew it up ? »
« You can just go see for yourself. »
« What's good,traitor ? »
« Junko. »
Junko came out of nowhere with a little army of Monokumas.
« Why would you betray me,Izuruuuuu ? Did despair not satisfy you enough ? You can tell me,you knoooow ? »
Junko had her cute persona on,she switched her personalities like you changed clothes,too often.
« I had more surprises from Makoto Naegi in less than an hour than with you in half a year. »
« What did he possibly show you to make you change sides so suddenly,motherfucker ?! »
She now had her angry persona.
« He showed me Himiko Yumeno and Chiaki Nanami alive,even though he had nothing to do with Himiko Yumeno. »
« Chiaki Nanami is alive ?! »
« Yes,I'm surprised as well,but I should have known,he has always been smarter than the norm and has luck,of course he knew how and when to save her. »
« That lucky kid,he is too surprising sometimes… »
Junko now looked depressed.
« What is there to say ? You won't be able to run anywhere,even with your Monokumas here. »
« Sure about that ? »
Everyone was utterly confused except me,Junko wasn't scared at all,this was in her nature,of course,but she didn't even look worried about me being here.
« What did you do with those Monokumas ? »
« Let me explain,it will be very simple. »
Junko putted on glasses on tied her hair to only one long ponytail,she had her teacher persona.
« You see,I mixed their programs with the Hope Cultivation Project's program in a manner to leave the machines completely uncorrupted by the Monokumas,those ten Monokumas right here should then have your abilities,Izuru. »
« This might be a problem,run outside,quickly. »
« We'll fight. »
« You can't,those Monokumas are way too strong,maybe even for me. »
« Then get out of here as well ! »
« No. »
I didn't move and just waited for them to make a move,and when one of them did,it got kicked into the other ones,I was surprised that the Monokuma didn't even hurt me,the other ones had gone out except Maki,who was supposed to wait for me.
« It seems like I failed. »
« I think I know why,did you just try to do that with them ? »
« Yup yup,why ? »
« Ryoma is in the machine,that's why it couldn't have worked. »
« What the hell is he doing in there ?! »
« Becoming like me. »
« Thanks captain obviouuus. »
« He wanted to make you suffer. »
« Well he sure did since my Monokumas don't have your abilities ! »
« Then game over for you. »
I dashed at Junko and destroyed the Monokumas,I stopped in front of her and knocked her out with only one slap in the neck.
« Did you kill her ? »
« No. »
« So she only blacked out. »
« Yes. »
« You're not one to talk much,are you ? »
« You could say that. »
« Could we go already ? »
« Come with me. »
The two of us got out of the school,to find the other students in simple denial in front of this situation.
« You didn't tell us about that ! »
« Then take those. »
I had a box with their memories in it,I gave it to Mukuro since she had the capacity of protecting them.
« What are those ?! »
« Syringes with your memories in each of them,you'll need to take them while you're sleeping if you want them to work and your names are written on every syringes,you will know which is yours. »
« Hold on a minute ! You're going way too fast ! »
« Get out,quickly,he will be able to explain everything to you only if you survive,so just follow Mukuro and Celes. »
« Just go if you don't want to die. »
I shot a glare at them that made them scared a little,after some time,they just went away,I took Maki to the building where the Hope Cultivation Project was located,when we entered the room,we saw Ryoma looking at his hands,his hair was going out of his bonnet.
« Here,if you want to cut your hair. »
« Thanks. »
I threw him a pair of scissors.
« Did you just get out of it ? »
« Yeah,and that's actually a weird feeling,I feel like I could just run across the whole world in only five hours. »
« This isn't just a feeling,it's a possibility. »
« You're starting to sound interesting. »
« If you say so,Maki,could you go in the machine ? Ryoma will show you,I have to call someone. »
« Who ? »
« Makoto. »
« Why ? »
« To tell him you're all free. »
« Okay. »
I took my phone out while Ryoma putted Maki in the machine,I was going to call Makoto but he did it before me,so I answered the call.
« Kamukura,if Junko is near you,kill her as fast as you can,now ! »
« Why ? »
« She already have your abilities ! »
« What ? »
« Kill her ! »
I was going to,but I saw that Junko wasn't under my arm anymore.
« When did she disappear ? »
« Oh no,it's too late,listen,I caught Tsumugi,she won't be able to move,but you absolutely have to destroy Junko,whatever it takes,if Ryoma and Maki are with you then tell them to be ready. »
« Ryoma just putted her on the machine,he only got out a few minutes ago. »
« It's not good,not at all. »
« At least tell me what you're doing worried about. »
« Listen,you weren't the first one in the machine,she was ! She tested it before you ! »
I was looking everywhere and told Ryoma to be ready.
« It's not possible. »
« You have to trust me,no one knew about it except Tsumugi ! »
« She told that to you ? »
« I knocked her out after she said other things that didn't please me,are the others with you ? »
« They're on their way to your base. »
« Shit. »
« Why do you sound worried ? »
« I don't want to take that into consideration but…Mukuro might have betrayed us,but she wouldn't know,it was in her lost memories,whatever you do,don't let her have them back. »
« Where are you ? »
« I'm practically at the base,why ? »
« Because I gave them the box with their memories in it. »
« Did you know she was on Junko's side while we were on our school life ? »
« Yes,but I changed her memories a bit,she won't remember Junko. »
« What ? »
« I knew,so I made changes,it's her memories,but without Junko,happy ? »
« You could have said that earlier ! »
« No,because I did that ten minutes ago. »
« Yeah,sorry for being so stressed out,but just watch out for Junko. »
« I already am,I'll end the call here. »
« Do as you want. »
I ended the call and I knew someone was watching both me and Ryoma.
« Junko,stop hiding,come and fight fairly. »
« Alright,alright,ya got me. »
Junko falled off the ceiling and landed perfectly in front of me.
« So this is some kind of boss fight,right ? »
« Yup,and I'm the overleveled secret final boss ! »
« Don't push your luck,Enoshima. »
« Think you're ahead of me,edgy dating simulator character ? »
« I might be. »
« Then prove it ! »
I didn't move,I just waited for Junko to make a move and she did,she threw herself at me but I caught her by the arms,I threw her at Ryoma and she received a friendly metal ball in the ribs from him,making two or three of them break,he aimed with so much precision that even she couldn't have dodged while she was in the air,she landed between both of us and knew it would be a hard fight,but she didn't seem to care.
« That all you got ? »
« No. »
« Then give me all you got ! »
« No. »
« Come on,you won't beat me like that ! »
« Sure ? »
« Sure. »
Junko went toward me and we exchanged punches after punches,kicks after kicks,hits after hits,pure violence,each of us got injured everywhere,I didn't show it,but I was in pain,like Junko,but the difference between the two of us is that Junko didn't care about pain,normally,I wouldn't,but this time,I knew that Junko was up to something,and since she was at my level,or maybe even stronger,I had to do as much as I could.
« Ryoma,be ready. »
I dashed at Junko and punched her at full force in both of her arms,breaking them,so she slammed them on the wall she had been thrown into and putted them back in place,slightly disgusting Ryoma.
« That's gross. »
« Who's the one at fault for that,though ? »
« Fair point. »
Junko tried to go attack Ryoma to have a fair fight with me,but surprisingly for both of us,he just slammed her head on the ground,she was bleeding a lot,even if she didn't think he'd be able to do so,she didn't let herself black out from this,she did a low sweep on Ryoma's legs and kicked him on the wall,breaking it,he ended up in a classroom,he was getting up but Junko lifted him up and threw him on Izuru,she had a look that told everything,she was a beast,an unstoppable killing machine,I caught Ryoma,putted him on the floor and dashed toward Junko at full speed,we both punched one another one the face but I understood something,she was stronger,scarier,faster,she was more everything than me,I knew I had to kill her while I could do so,but I probably was lying to myself when I'd try to think I had a chance against her
« How ? »
« How what ? »
« How and when did you became so strong ? »
« I never told you ? I already had the double amount of your strength before we even knew each other ! I didn't even need to go into that machine to do so,though,and well,I was the first to test the machine,and that might be one of my most smart moves ! You're aware of me being Ryoko Otanashi,the Ultimate Analyst and all,but did you know that I already did the same thing before you even existed as Kamukura Izuru ? I went on the machine on orders of Matsuda while I didn't have any memories,I gained the talents I needed,had my memories back,and bam,I became godlike,what can you even imagine in this situation ? Nothing,that's right,I'll just have to take you with me,as well as everyone else,if you thought that after you betrayed me everything was finished,you were dead wrong,I never even needed you in the first place anyway,but that just was fun to have you,you are like the machine itself since you're the only one to not remember anything after getting out of it,so,what do you say ? I break your body in pieces and I take you with me or do you come peacefully ? »
« I will kill you where you stand. »
« Try if you can ! »
I dashed toward Junko but I just got past her and got Maki out of the machine since she had been in here for the enough amount of time,she was awake and tested her new abilities on a wall,her hair were way past her feet,they were so long that they actually were on meter behind her on the floor,I decided to dash toward Junko with the intention of killing her for good but Junko then punched me so hardly and quickly that she knocked me out cold as she seemed bored of all of this,I was alive,but not safe.
MUKURO'S POINT OF VIEW
« You managed to save that much people ? »
« Yeah,I'm surprised that there was this much people,but I did it. »
« At least everyone is alive,right ? »
« You could say it like that. »
« Sweetie bunny ! Gyahahahahahahah,long time no see,huh ? »
« Big sis ! I knew you would be a winner of this game ! »
« I always win anyway ! »
« Hey ! I won our competitions sometimes ! »
« But I have more victories than you ! »
Genocide Jill and Crazy Rabbit were talking about murders like it was casual,it actually is for them,but maybe not for people around them.
« Could you please talk about this subject somewhere else ? »
« What's wrong,big mac ? Did we even say anything weird ? Besides,you're considered as a serial killer as well,right ? »
« Yeah,I am,but that doesn't mean I enjoy it. »
« Bullshit,big mac,bullshit,I already saw you kill with a smile bigger than any building I've ever seen,ya can't fool me ! »
« It does depend on the victim I kill,I won't deny that I sometimes enjoy seeing a bastard's last breath being taken away by me. »
« Well now that's the Fate I know,when you're in your serial killer mode,I'll call you Fate but for anything else,that will be big mac ! »
« Can you just go talk elsewhere ? »
« I can do that,but do I want to ? I wonder about that,gyahahahahahahahah ! »
Jill went out of our sight in laughter with Crazy Rabbit following her,leaving Makoto and I alone.
« That was awkward. »
« I figured. »
« So,as I said,I planned a lot of things,but they might not be happening soon enough,I got a plan though. »
« A plan for what exactly ? »
« I learned that Junko had been an Izuru for a long time,you should remember since you took your memories and that I told you about Junko. »
« Yeah,the blond fashionista that tried to kill everyone,so what's your idea ? »
« Going in the game and see how it goes,I'm pretty sure she will put us through another game,how and why ? I might have a clue,but the only thing I know is that it will be in a virtual reality,where we will be is a total secret,as well as who I will be putted with,but I don't have a choice,if I want it to work,I don't have a choice. »
We heard a voice behind us,I didn't find it familiar but Makoto seemed to knew who it was.
« Clever,ahoge boy,clever ! »
« …Junko. »
« Yup ! Of course it's me ! »
« Of course it's you… »
« So this is the Junko you talked to me about. »
« Bruh,like,don't ya remember me ? I'm your sister,you know ? Oh yeah right,Izuru erased me from your existence. »
« You're my sister ? »
« She is,but she never tried to care for you,I don't remember how many times she tried to murder you,but that doesn't matter,I believe you already kidnapped everyone else other than me and Mukuro,right ? »
« Well,yeah,kinda,you can't even fight back so you might as well give yourself in,just like you said you would,everyone is waiting for you two,well,the rest of your class,I mean. »
« What exactly will you make us do,Junko ? »
« You already know that,don't play dumb with me,it won't work. »
« I'm aware. »
« So we're just…letting her take us to whatever this game is ? »
« We are,unfortunately,but it wouldn't do anything much more interesting if we tried to resist anyway,so who cares ? »
« I'm still participating in the game,you know ? »
« You are ? »
« I totally am,don't worry though,only the students from class 79,78 and 77-A are joining in the fun ! And yes there will be AIs of your dead friends to make the shit more realistic,I made them anyway,so that should be okay ! »
« You're a sick fuck. »
« Like I don't know that ! Now you know where we're going,right ? »
« I have no idea. »
« Jabberwock Island ! The place where the Neo World Program is ! »
« I understand now,you want to use that to make us despair even more,huh ? »
« Yeah,I remodeled the simulation to my liking,though. »
« You know you'll die by my hand,right ? »
« And who said that exactly,huh ? »
« Fate did. »
Makoto was grinning at Junko and it made her laugh,she then knocked us both down,just for me to wake up in a boat with a girl named Hiyoko Saionji,the Ultimate Traditional Dancer,she didn't seem to be brainwashed,if she was anything,she would be traumatized,she was sitting on a corner of the room they were in,hands on her head,crying,sobbing,like she saw something horrible happening in front of her.
« Are you okay ? »
« D-do I look okay to you ?! »
« No,that's why I'm asking. »
« Then I'll tell you that I'm not okay ! I fucking nearly died a least ten times in less than an hour and it's the same case for my friend ! »
« … »
« And now I got kidnapped again and I don't know where I'm going ! »
« You haven't been told ? »
« Y-you know where we're heading ?! »
« Jabberwock island. »
« Why would we go there out of all places in the world ?! »
« You wouldn't want to know. »
« You even know why we're going there ?! »
« Yes,but you don't want to hear it. »
« Tell me,now ! »
« You can't say I didn't warn you. »
« Just hurry up and tell me already ! »
« We're going to be placed in a virtual world where we will forced to kill each other. »
« I don't care since I won't die for real,then ! »
« You definitely will,if your brain or hearts stop moving in the vr world,it will do as much in the real world,that's called mind logic,if you think your heart is stopping to move,then he will do exactly that. »
« W-why are you saying that to me ?! I didn't want to know all of this ! »
« I told you before,you didn't want to hear it. »
« J-just leave me alone… »
We spent another five hours in complete silence before we arrived to the island,when we arrived,we've been told to move to the building in the middle island,it took us ten minutes to arrive at the building and we saw that there already was some people here,some Monokumas were guarding the entrance of the building,in the middle of the room,there was a giant machine with a lot of cabs who would easily be able to take any person in.
« Why are there forty-eight cabs exactly ? »
« If the three actual main course classes were supposed to have at least fifteen students and that they're the ones could be here about the new killing game,then it means we're all getting in this. »
« But we're not forty-eight if we count every dead people. »
« She probably took the possibility that we would have all survived in consideration. »
« She might have done that,yeah. »
Suddenly,a Monokuma had been sent flying toward the students,Maki was actually mad and was starting to destroy even more Monokumas each time one of them reappeared.
« Maki,stop that,we can't do anything about our situation right now. »
« Makoto,I'm getting us out right now. »
« Please stop,if you trust me,then stop. »
She suddenly stopped kicking the Monokumas and they didn't try to get back at her for destroying some of them.
« Are you sure,Makoto ? »
« I am,don't worry,we will all be getting out of here alive,that's all I can promise everyone. »
« As interesting as ever,Makoto. »
Izuru came with Tsumugi Shirogane,she was seemingly happy to be here but practically everyone didn't seem happy to see her.
« Hi guys ! I hope we will be able to be friends in what's coming toward us ! »
« Shut the hell up. »
« Pfffff,you should learn how to relax sometimes,why are you all that much on edge ? »
« Because we're all in deep shit ? »
« Fair enough,so,who are we waiting for ? »
« We only need her to begin. »
« Junko,huh ? She's always making everyone wait for her. »
« Did someone call for me ? Because I'm here ! »
JUNKO'S POINT OF VIEW
I was behind Makoto,he didn't know how,but I was.
« Sorry if I made you all wait,really sorry… »
I had my depressed expression on.
« Shut up and say what you have to say right now. »
« What do you fucking want,stupid,lame and ugly sister of mine ?! »
I now had an angry expression.
« I want you to begin talking. »
« Alright,fine,so,as you all know,I'm the Ultimate Despair ! Ultimate everything everything for that matter except hope,that's boring,but anyways,we're all going to go in a killing game ! Even I will participate,but you know what's actually funny ?! We're all going to lose our memories again ! Isn't that funny ?! »
Some were terrified,some were pissed off,some were just not surprised at all.
« For real ? Another time ? »
« Yup yup ! But you know what's even more funny ? »
« No,but you said funny too much times. »
« Well first of all,fuck you,and secondly,you will be with your entire class,because yeah,some of your classmates might be dead,but that didn't stop me from recreating them ! »
« D-do you m-mean that you m-made AIs of our d-dead classmates ? »
« Yup ! Well I made one for everyone,but that was just in case,oh,and also,the girl in her hood right here is Chiaki,just so you know that none of the students of class 77-A died. »
« C-Chiaki is alive ?! »
« Yeah,but let's get to the main event already,okay ? Please all go in the cabs you're assigned to by the Monokumas if you don't want to die ! »
« Do you really think we would let you do that ? »
« Well,kinda,since you can't even try to defy me. »
« Like I care about that ! »
« Don't try to attack her,Mondo,you would just die. »
« But- »
« Don't do it for yourself. »
Mondo looked down and sighed.
« Ugh,alright. »
« Now,since everyone's here,the first to go is Akane ! »
She was growling at me but still went in without a choice,I pushed her in,next was Angie.
« I don't want to participate. »
« Well,like everyone else,gal. »
« You don't understand,I can see a lot of things since he disappeared. »
« Disappeared ? Who disappeared ? »
« Atua. »
« You're saying no one is telling you what to do anymore ? »
« No,no one is ordering me anything anymore. »
« Well now this is something truly exciting and concerning to hear about at the same time. »
« You can't just be healed from your condition like that,there's no way it happened. »
« Just stop blabbering about shit and go in your cab,you won't be healed in the game anyway. »
« This is exactly why I don't want to go in here,I don't want to hear him again. »
« Don't know,don't care,go in or I'll make you. »
« Your loss. »
Angie went in her cab,apparently disappointed to go,next was Chiaki.
« So,survivor girl,are you ready ? You'll be able to stay alive,I cured every each of you from any injuries or illness you had while you were sleeping,by the way,so there's nothing that can stop us from playing,upupupu ! »
« You're insane. »
« And I love it ! »
I took Chiaki and putted her in one of the cabs since she still had difficulties to walk,next was Chihiro,he was sobbing and crying,which made Mondo angry,he went in while a Monokuma followed him,like for everyone else,next was Fuyuhiko.
« When all this shit is done,I'll sell you to a whorehouse,bitch ! »
« So scary,baby face ! »
A Monokuma pushed him in a cab,next was Gonta.
« As gentleman,Gonta has to go in cab,but Gonta no killing anyone ! »
« That's the Gonta I know. »
« Thank,friend Ryoma ! »
« No problem kid,just make me this promise even if you won't remember it,don't die. »
« Gonta won't,as gentleman,Gonta keep promise ! »
« Go kid,and don't turn around. »
Gonta went in his cab after waving at Ryoma,next was Gundham Tanaka,the Ultimate Breeder,he didn't say anything,he laughed,just his usual laughter of life and went in his cab,next was Himiko,she was asleep so I just putted her in her cab,next was Hiyoko,she didn't want to move at all,so I took her and putted her in her cab as well,next was Ibuki.
« My life is shit. »
« I can't say I disagree with you,but can you go in your cab please ? »
« I think I would have killed myself if I'd have been told before that my life would be so full of shit. »
« Great,another depressed one. »
Ibuki just walked forward and went into her cab,next was Izuru.
« So it's my turn. »
« Yes it is ! »
« You won't win,Enoshima. »
« I don't actually give a shit,you know ? »
« Yes,I'm aware,but I won't be able to participate in this,so I don't think I care,Makoto,I hope for you your plan will work. »
« Hey,what do you mean,you won't be able to participate ?! »
« I won't,Hajime will. »
Izuru went in his cab and next was Kaede.
« I know we will all be able to walk freely out of this after everything,I just know it,trust yourselves everyone and go for it ! »
Kaede went into her cab and seemed confident,next was Kaito,he did a speech similar to Kaede's one and went in his cab,smiling,next was Kazuichi Soda,the Ultimate Mechanic,he just went in his cab without speaking,next was Keebo and he just did as well,next was Kirumi,she bowed and went in her cab calmly,next was Kiyotaka.
« The Future Foundation will come to stop you before anyone dies,Junko Enoshima ! »
« Don't you know that two of the most important members of your shitty foundation are brainwashed ? »
« Like anyone would believe you ! »
« Well,your upper classmates all know that their teacher is brainwashed,but I really wonder who the other one is,upupu ! »
Kiyotaka just went in his cab without saying anything anymore,Mahiru Koizumi,the Ultimate Photographer was next,she went in without saying anything and looked like she didn't trust anyone,Maki was next.
« I hope you'll die as painfully and slowly as possible. »
« I do too,actually ! »
« Go to hell. »
Maki went in her cabin and next was Makoto.
« So,ahoge boy,care to explain your plan ? »
« Why would I say it to my enemy ? »
« Because we're in a Disney movie ? »
« No we're not,sorry about that,but I think I'll just go in my cab. »
« Come on,tell me ! »
« No. »
« Tell me ! »
« I said no. »
« Tell me,tell me,tell me ! »
« No. »
Makoto went in his cab while pointing his middle finger up at me,next was Mikan.
« Can you go to the cab yet,pig ? »
« A-ah ! Y-yes of c-course ! »
Mikan walked toward a cab but tripped and rolled all the way to the cab,next was Miu.
« F-fuck it,I'm not going in this shit if I know that he will be there ! »
« Who are you talking about,dumbass ? »
« You know exactly who I'm talking about ! »
« You won't even remember him,you know ? »
« I don't give a shit ! I don't want to go ! »
« You're taking too long,just go in your cab already ! »
« N-no ! »
I just went toward Miu and made her go in the cab,next was Mondo.
« I'll just go in your shit and put a stop to it. »
« Well good luck then. »
« I just have to destroy you inside the game and we're all clear. »
« Like you'd be able to do that,though. »
« You'll see by yourself. »
Mondo went in his cab,confident he would beat my ass up,next was Mukuro,she got insulted by my beautiful and cute persona in every way possible while she was walking toward her cab,she went in without a word,next was Nekomaru,he went in his cab while encouraging every other students here,Nagito was next,he did a speech of ten minutes about hope beating despair in the end while laughing like a maniac,it pissed me off so I pushed him in his cab,Peko was next.
« Don't worry young master,I will be with you soon. »
Peko went in her cab in silence,next was Rantaro,he went in his cab calmly,like nothing worried him anymore,next was Ryoma.
« I guess it's my turn now,huh ? »
« It is,you can go in your cab now. »
« I guess I will,I can't kill you,so I guess it's not worth the effort to resist. »
« Sharp,huh ? »
« Stop being a smartass,you're still going into that game,remember ? »
« Yeah,yeah,and I will win,you know ? »
« That's a possibility,but I'll still do everything I can to kick your ass. »
« Good luck then,midget ! »
« Thanks,bimbo. »
Ryoma went in his own cab while doing the same thing as Makoto,next was Sakura.
« I will be in the same state of thinking than Ryoma,even if you might win,we could as well,so count on everyone to try to beat you. »
Sakura went in her cab without waiting for my answer,Sayaka was next and she wasn't in the mood to talk and that was normal,so she just went in her cab without talking,Shuichi was next,he wasn't in the mood either and just went in his cab as well,next was Sonia Never mind,the Ultimate Princess,she would try to speak in times like these,but no one wanted some kind of speech and she knew it,so she did as much as the other two and went on her cab,Taeko was next.
« I will speak for my friends that are already in their cabs,I hope we will all be able to stab you for your death. »
« That would be cool,being killed by every each of you would be kinda amazing,actually. »
Celes facepalmed and went in her cab,Tenko was next.
« I can't believe a girl would do all of that. »
« Well you were wrong then,dumbass,because I know I'm a girl and I know I'm a bitch,so now go in your cab before I make you ! »
Tenko groaned and went in her cab,next was Teruteru Hanamura,the Ultimate Cook,he went in his cab while being as worried as everyone else but he pretended that it was a dream,Toko was next.
« Why didn't I got called before that ?! My name is Jill ! »
« Technically not. »
« For real ? Oh well,guess it can't be helped then,later bitchies ! »
Jill went in her cab while laughing as hard as she could,like always,next was Tsumugi.
« How fun this game will be ! Later Junko ! »

Tsumugi went in her cab being all happy of everything,Yasuhiro was next,he was terrified,but he was the only one left with the Ultimate Imposter,he just went in his cab in a hurry and so did the other Ultimate,the only one left was now me,I just had to put the AIs of the dead people of the classes and then I could put my own AI in the game,I won't remember who the mastermind will be since I won't have my memories,just like the others,that's why I was putting my AI as a virus to be the mastermind,I will have one hell of a time,that's for sure.
« Done,done and done ! Every AIs are in,one for every dead students,mine and the erasing memories program is in,I just have to touch this button and it will begin,hey Monokuma ! Touch this button once I'm in my cab,understood ?! »
« Yup ! Heard you loud and clear,chief ! »
« Then the fun can begin,here I gooooooo ! »
I jumped in one of the empty cabs and the machine instantly did it's work,I blacked out,but with an enormous grin,the next thing that will be happening ? The best game I've ever planned,but will I ever know I planned it ? Maybe,maybe not…
