Do Not Own Danganronpa

Danganronpa: Komaru's Despair

Chapter 6: The Three Bears

Komaru and Makoto entered the school gym. A feeling of dread filled Komaru. Something was not right about the entire situation. Makoto commented, "It really does look like an entrance ceremony." He was right as everything was set up like an entrance ceremony. However, no one else apart from fifteen of them were there. Also, that male voice was off. She did not know why but it filled her with dread.

Hagakure said happy that he had been right, "See? Told you! It's totally normal entrance ceremony stuff." Everyone stood around in silence waiting for whatever to happen. The nice music that had been playing over the intercom cut out.

The male voice said cutting through the silence, "Hey there, howdy, hello! Is everyone here? Good! Then let's get things rolling!" A strange bear then appeared. This bear's whole face and body were divided by half. Its right side is white and has the classic expression of teddy bear. The left side however was a more sinister appearance. It is black, has a red, horizontal, jagged eye that resembles the Hope's Peak Academy logo and an evil smile. The snout and belly was white.

"A teddy bear?" Komaru stated.

"I'm not a teddy bear! I...am...Monokuma! And I am this school's headmaster!" The bear, Monokuma said. This shocked everyone to different degrees except Hagakure who was unphased by the whole thing. "Nice to meet you all!" He then said. The same dread filled Komaru and she spoted some others shudder.

Hufumi said scared, "That teddy bear can talk!"

Komaru heard Leon mutter , "I can't cope with this man."

Taka tried to calm everyone down with, "Calm down! I'm sure there's just a speaker inside it." It was futile as Monokuma started speaking again.

He said more sinisterly. "I told you already, I'm not a teddy bear. I am Monokuma! And I'm your headmaster. If you don't like it then I hope you keep all of the despair of it to yourself. Now then, moving on! We really must hurry and get started. Frist order of business. Your deputy headmaster and school councillor, Shirokuma has a few words." Another bear resembling Monokuma but instead painted the left side of his body white and wrapped bandages around his left leg, left forearm, and the left side of his head popped up from nowhere. His body is somewhat worn and covered in scratches.

Shirokuma said sounding slight feminine but was in fact male, "Hey guys, I am happy to meet with all of you." He seemed over friendly for the situation they were in. "I hope we all get along."

Monokuma continued with, "Now to introduce your head of security and school announcer, Kurokuma." Another bear looking like Monokuma and Kurokuma appeared. This one was half dark-grey and half black split equally down the centre. He wore a dark-grey fedora hat with a red and white feather on it. He has gold teeth and was smoking a cigar. He also wears an eye-patch with a heart decal over the right eye, a black tie, and a golden chain with a padlock and star-shaped charm.

He said, "Well I would like to say it's nice to meet with you, but I would be lying as you all looking like a bunch of forking idiots…. Hey what gives Mono. I can't forking curse. Not cool man."

"We are in a school Kuro so no cursing allowed." Monokuma said not caring in the slightest. "There are kids present."

"Not cool at all." Kurokuma repeated, He then said sounding like he was leering, "The only saving grace is all the pretty ladies." Shirokuma wacked him on the back off the head.

"Remember Kuro of what we talked about." Shirokuma said not liking his comments. Kurokuma mumbled under his breath. No one knew what to make of these two bears. Shirokuma seemed like the nicest one of the lot but Komaru will have to wait and see what each bear does.

Monokuma then said, "Right now the introductions are done I like to say good morning all."

Taka automatically replied with, "Good morning."

Toko mumbled, "Y-y-you don't have to s-s-s-say it b-back."

Monokuma continued, "Now let you commence with the entrance ceremony. I would like to talk about your life here at Hope's Peak. You all represent the hope of the world." He shared a look with Kurokuma. Shirokuma looked down in what appeared to be guilt or disgust. "This hope must be protected at all costs as we don't want it to turn into despair at the loss of hope. So, to protect this hope, you all will live here together in a communal life. Obeying all the school regulations."

Kurokuma said glee in his voice, "Or you will be punished severity by yours truly."

Monokuma then continued, "The end date is the day you die."

"What!" Komaru exclaimed.

Toko also stated, "Wh-what did h-h-he just say…..?"

Celeste said deadpanning "We will be trapped here forever?"

"Fear not. You do not suffer for the lack of common amenities." Shirokuma said trying to cheer everyone up.

Sayaka said upsetting Shirokuma, "That's the least of our worries right now!"

"What the hell? You're saying I have to live here forever? You're screwing with us, right?" Junko yelled at the three bears. Monokuma did not react, Kurokuma jumped at her tone while Shirokuma flinched.

Monokuma assured everyone, "I am not screwing with you! I am no liar, of that you can be 100% sure" Junko moved to the front and punched him. She yelped in pain. Monokuma's mood soured.

"Punishment time," Kurokuma said glee in his voice. He ordered, "Yo, Minions drag her away. its time." Six Monokuma lookalikes wearing riot guard marched into the gym. They intimidated everyone. Two grabbed Junko and carted her off. Komaru motioned to help Junko but Makoto stopped her. Kurokuma followed on with a spring in his step. The remaining 4 stood in the front.

"There is Guard Monokumas. Which are extensions of myself meaning I am untouchable." Monokuma stated.

Shirokuma said seeing people's mood, "Don't worry about Miss Endoshima. She will be brought back before bedtime."

"Now that has taken care off. I want to inform you that you're completely cut off from the outside world. So you don't have to worry about the land beyond these walls ever again!"

Makoto stated, "Cut off...? So all those metal plates all over the school...They're there to keep us trapped in here?"

"Correct, That's exactly what they're there for. No matter how much you may yell and scream for help...help will not come. So with all of that in mind, feel free to live out your life here with reckless abandon!" Monokuma stated. Everything started to sink in that something major was about to happen. This was when the despair had started even if Komaru did not know it at the time.
