When the elevator dings, the gang steps outside to see a circle of podiums in the center of the room. One of the podiums had a portrait of Ratchet on it. His face was crossed out in pink blood.

"What's that for?" Spike said, referring to the portrait.

"I didn't want Ratchet to miss the trial," Monokuma said. "So his portrait is there. Now everyone go to their assigned podiums"

Everyone stands on their assigned podium. Eyes seemed to be scattering everywhere.

"Now then, allow me to explain the rules of the class- I mean roster trial" Monokuma said. "Using evidence found at the crime scene, you have to uncover who killed the victim. At the end of the trial, you all vote for who you think is the murderer. If you guess correctly, the killer get executed and everyone else is safe"

"However, if you are all wrong, everyone expect the killer is executed and the killer gets to walk away scot free"

Everyone gulped. Toro wiped his forehead.

"Now then, commence the trial!"

ALL RISE FOR THE ROSTER TRIAL!

All eyes were on ratchets podium, it's weird to think he's gone now.

"We didn't even have time to catch up," Cole said.

"We all just got back here after so long and then this killing game happened" Nathan Drake said.

"Yeah, we didn't even get time to catch up," Parappa said. "Man the pacing in this fic is weird"

"Enough fourth wall breaking" Spike said. "I think we should discuss the elephant in the room"

NON STOP DEBATE

Truth bullets: previous head injuries, bucket of water, state of the infirmary

"When we got there, Ratchet and Clank were dead," Parappa said.

"And it was made clear how Ratchet died" Sir Daniel muffled.

"It was?" Fat Princess asked.

"Yeah," Nathan Drake said. "It was because (he was hit in the head)"

"Hold on" Spike thought. "Something that Nathan Drake said doesn't make sense"

(Previous head injuries)

"NO THAT'S WRONG" Spike suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned to Spike.

"If you remember correctly, Ratchet was punished by Monokuma," Spike said.

"Correct," Monokuma said.

"He was stabbed by all those spears," Kuro said. "We all saw that"

"I wish to forget that," Nariko said.

"It's burned in my memory," Toro said. "Other than watching Kat get hanged"

While everyone was conversing, Spike noticed that Jak didn't seem to be talking. It's probably because of his select muteness but Spike feels that something else is going on.

*unusual silence has been added to the truth bullets

"So that head Injury must've been from the spears," Toro said. "I guess that makes sense-"

"STEP ON THE BRAKES!"

Everyone turns to Parappa.

"That doesn't make sense," Parappa said. "What about the wrench? It has blood in it. I think someone attacked Ratchet while he was still vulnerable"

"Parappa has a point," Spike said.

"Wait, you actually agree?" Parappa said.

"Oh woe is me" Monokuma said, pointing like Lord Farquad "the Rivals are agreeing with each other"

"You're right," Toro said. "Someone could've attacked Ratchet in the infirmary"

"Some things not adding up…" Spike thought.

NON STOP DEBATE

Truth Bullets: Bloody Wrench, State of the infirmary, Bump in the Night

"This doesn't make sense!" Cole said

"What do you mean?" Toro asked.

"If Ratchet died of his injuries…" Cole said. "Then what's with the wrench?"

"This is a wrench!" Parappa suddenly said.

"Could that mean… . (Ratchet was still alive) ?" Fat Princess said.

"Hang on. FP makes a good point" Spike said.

*bloody wrench

"I AGREE WITH THAT!" Spike said. "Maybe after Ratchet and Clank were healed up, Someone came and killed them with the wrench"

"But how would we know someone was in the infirmary with them?" Parappa said.

*state of the infirmary

"Parappa, do you remember how the infirmary looked after we found Ratchet and Clank's Body?" Spike asked.

"Yeah," Parappa said. "It was trashed. Stuff was knocked over and junk"

"Ok since when were Parappa and Spike best buddies?" Evil Cole asked.

"It's for character development," Monokuma said. "Definitely not because the author ships them or anything"

"So that means that someone could've been in the infirmary with Ratchet?"

NONSTOP DEBATE

Truth Bullets: Bucket of water, bump in the night, bloody trail

"So we agree that Ratchet was killed by the wrench" Nathan Drake said. "But what about Clank?"

"Yeah," Raiden said. "It takes more than a wrench"

"Maybe someone discovered Clank's weakness," Sackboy said.

"Nonsense" Parappa said. "You think (Clank has a weakness)?"

"Parappa isn't making sense..." Spike thought.

*bucket of water

"NO THAT'S WRONG" Spike said. "Clank may not have any weakness. But there is one he has by default: water"

"Water?" Parappa asked.

"Because he's a robot you Idiot" Spike said.

"Huh. Looks like I was wrong" Evil Cole said.

"So Clank must've died after Ratchet then" Dante said. "But there's something I don't get"

NONSTOP DEBATE

Truth Bullets: bump in the night, unusual silence, bloody trail

"So We know how they died?" Dante said. "But do we know who Killed them?"

"We're still not on that topic?" Daxter asked.

"Can we confirm any witnesses?" Nariko asked.

"Someone could've went in" Nathan Drake "and they would've (left no evidence behind)"

"No evidence?" Spike thought

*bloody trail

" NO THAT'S WRONG!" Spike said. "Dante, what's that pink stuff on your jacket"

"It's the blood from when i fell" Dante said "someone spilled a bunch on the floor"

"Now i remember" Nathan Drake said "There was a trail of blood from inside the infirmary"

"So that could mean one thing" Toro said "Ratchet was going back to his room when he was attacked"

"That could explain the blood trail," Spike said. "And another thing"

*bump in the night

"Toro, you mentioned hearing something in the night," Spike said.

"Yeah, it was a big thump" Toro said "Like someone falling to the ground"

"That was probably Ratchet," Kuro said. "Someone attacked him on his way back to his room"

NONSTOP DEBATE

"Alright," Parappa said. "Who killed him? 'Fess up"

"Good thinking Parappa" Evil Cole said sarcastically. "The killer is just gonna reveal themselves"

"Hey it's worth a shot" Parappa said. " The killer (must come out eventually)"

"Parappa has a point," Spike thought.

*unusual silence

"I AGREE WITH THAT!" Spike said.

"You do?" Evil Cole said

"You do?" Parappa said.

"There's someone here that I have been suspicious of from the beginning," Spike said.

*select someone

*Jak

"Jak!" Spike said. "I know it's normal for you to be quiet. But Daxter usually speaks for you, and he's not talking either"

"Hey hang on!" Daxter said. "You think I always know what Jak is thinking about 24/7?"

"Yes" Everyone, even monokuma, said.

"... Well you're right but it's not us!" Daxter said.

Jak looked up suddenly.

"You want the truth?" Jak said. "I'll give you the truth…"

The room went quiet.

"... You got us," Jak said.

"WHAAAAAT?!" Toro screamed.

"You… Killed Ratchet?" Fat Princess said.

"JAK!" Daxter yelled.

"HE WAS GETTING A NEW GAME" Parappa cried. "AND AN AMONG US SKIN"

"But why did you do it?" Nathan Drake.

"We wanted to save Kat," Daxter said. "Her gravity stuff could help us escape"

"Way to rat yourself out Jak," Monokuma said.

"Okay, I'm going to go through this whole thing," Spike said. "Let me know if I get anything wrong"

CLOSING ARGUMENT

ACT 1: "Ratchet and Clank were punished by Monokuma after Clank was questioning Monokumas methods. They were later escorted to the infirmary"

ACT 2: "When they were done being treated, Ratchet and Clank were heading back into their room. They were planning to meet up with us at breakfast"

ACT 3: "The Killer had been waiting for the two to get back from the infirmary. As their plan was to save Kat from the hanging body."

ACT 4: "When Ratchet and Clank were on screen, that's when the killer attacked"

ACT 5: "The Killer threw the bucket of water at Clank, shorting his circuits. This would make Ratchet drop his wrench to care for Clank"

ACT 6: "While Ratchet was distracted, the killer took Ratchet's wrench and hit him upside the head. Due to Ratchet suffering from previous injuries, it killed him instantly"

FINAL ACT: "Not wanting to leave the bodies on the floor, The killer dragged the two into the infirmary, leaving behind that blood trail. Then they trashed the infirmary to make it seem like a struggle. They left the wrench and bucket in the infirmary to make it seem more likely"

"So that's how you did it, isn't it? Jak and Daxter!" Spike said.

BREAK!

"...yeah, that's right," Jak said.

"THAT'S IT?!" Daxter yelled. "You're just gonna give up? What about us?"

"What about them?" Jak said. "If we live, everyone else dies"

"I DONT WANNA DIE MY FRANCHISE TURNS 25 THIS YEAR" Parappa cried.

"Before we discuss which franchise is the oldest," Monokuma said. "It's voting time! Use your phones to vote on who you think is the murder. If you don't vote, that mean punishment for you too, so vote like you mean it"

After everyone votes, confetti appears.

"Ding ding ding!" Monokuma said. "The killer is in fact the rowdy duo Jak and Daxter. Isn't it ironic that they killed their own rivals?"

"I can't believe this…" Nathan Drake said. Everyone else is just as distraught. Even after they said they wouldn't participate, someone went and committed a murder.

"Now then, I've prepared a very special punishment for Jak and Daxter," Monokuma said. "Since you all dont have ultimate talents, these punishments are based on...YOUR RIVALS!"

"So you mean we need to fight robots from the sidekick's world?" Daxter said. Monokuma nods.

"Let's give it everything we got," Monokuma said. "It's punishment time"

"I don't expect you all to forgive me," Jak said. "But i count on all of you to get out of here. Especially you Spike"

Daxter wasted his last words screaming.
