15. Chapter 5 Daily Life

Danganronpa the Twilight of Autumn Springs Academy Chapter 5

Sunlit Beaches, Eclipsed in a Catastrophic Light Daily Life

Day 15 Time:?

Hikaru: I believe the data is almost complete

Junko: Are you certain?

Hikaru: The code has been 80% completed…

Junko:Its with great ambition that my memory loss will be reversed and finally we should be able to be liberated….

Hikaru:If Memory deletion was result of talent… debug mode…..

Day 15: 7AM

After the morning announcement, I walked past to the dorms of Kazue and Taichi… I feel like that always do this.. But no one is talking to me.. Not the dead, none of our friends….

Taichi,

You willingly risked your life for something other than pleasure and gratification… Or was maybe the lack of death from saving your friend is what wounded you most? I will train with the little you have taught me.

Kazue,

I cannot believe that you were the traitor all of this time… Yuri… and all of us were your blood… and your words at the infirmary.. I will cherish them always

My E-Planner updated…. And I received two new abilities… Blade Overdrive: Always be able to strike every statement without fail but may lose ¼ of influence.

Sisterhood:Upgrades the speed of your synapse drive and adds an extra guardian that protects you once when you lose all of your influence…

After praying for both Taichi and Kazue I went to the dinning hall.. Yesterday was nuts… Ultimate Thespian… What did Yuri… mean? What happened to Kazuki to make him snap like this..

"Good morning Hayate Vaccine" Hikaru greeted.. And next to her was Junko

"You!" Junko pointed to me…

"Uh good morning Junko?"

"What is it?"

"I was just saying hi..but where is everyone else?"

"They left to explore the fifth floor of the Academy." Junko answered "Beside we need to have a chat."

"I'll cut to the chase. We have to leave this Academy… But I believe that we are suffering of a little dilemma."

"Dilemma?" I asled before Junko pulled up a chart "It would seem that the OMEGA you mentioned.. I believe that it may be a virus."

"A virus?"

"Affirmative. After doing a residual scan of the Academy…. We learned there were traces of a Virus… A virus that drives the Victim Mad…. And one that causes unnecessary bloodshed… If I am not errored. Jurou showcased many symptoms of said virus… And Kazue's last words were that the state of the world"

"If OUR mostly MY data is accurated" Junko began "It would seem likely that the world is corrupted…. And maybe perhaps we were brought here to protect us from said virus…"

"It will not be known how it will take to download the code but something else is on our notification board… Kazuki and Junko's talents"

"Your talent? Junko before you were hit with the amnesia beam and before we met monobunny you were about to tell me what your talent was…

"My talent is STILL something that I cant remember but after the class trials I seemed to remember… The Traitor Kazue… She seems more familiar and Hibiki, Keiko, Jurou all have mentioned me being a white fox of avarice…..

"You mean your greed?" I asked

"As you can see the motive videos… were true. But I cant seem to remember that past but Moe being a male, Keiko's apathy towards her art slaves, and Jurou… he did not remember his amputated and prosthetic left hand until after the motive."

"Actually, there is something that I want to know… What was my motive video?"

"In your arrogance, you helped your pastor brainwash others into his cult for his sole affection." Junko said

While we were talking Hikaru slammed her fist on the dinning hall table

"Would all parties please press MUTE on your voices!?"

Junko glared hotly at her "Dont care. Hikaru."

"Affirmative. Transferring update download into a another storage folder."

Said Hikaru talking her laptop and leaving the dining halll.

"She sincerely hates people talking loud, it already degrades her chaotic lack of concentration.."

"But lately Hikaru has stopped talking through her laptop and more been speaking through her actual voice.."

"Thats because she realized after the frog incident that speaking causes her more pain than not speaking."

"Wait" I stopped her "SHE SPEAKS THROUGH A MACHINE FOR PAIN AND BECAUSE SPEAKING CAUSES MORE PAIN SHE IS NOW SPEAKING WHICH MEANS WE ARE-"

"Ugh!? Why did I think that I could have an objective conversation with you about humans? SIgh Always overreacting about the slightest of things. Just go… LEAVE NOW!"

Forced to evacuate the dinning hall as if Junko has the right to exile others from whatever space that she inhabits, I was forced to travel to the fifth floor. What wonders await me there.

I climbed through the flor flights stairs to finally reach the to the fifth floor and it would not be an understatement of me to say that this floor was normal… In fact it was beyond normal.

The first thing that caught my eye was the Arcane Library… I went through the doors and it was amazing…

Bookshelves that were high as they can be… Every subject of magic and arcane mysteries from A to Z…. and tables where you can do tarot card readings and little tablets and deck of cards provided for you to use… It was here that I spotted Yuri… who looked desolate and lonely…

"Oh...Hayate… hi…."

"Yuri, how are you feeling? Well all of the books are about magic and supernatural things!"

Yuri "..."

Yuri must still be zoned out from Kazue's death. It was shofrtly afte the class trial that Monobunny reappeared explaining that Yuri experienced the execution VR style… Although not brain dead and her actual death was logged out.. Yuri 's heart was crushed, shattered, and broken….

Its proabably best that I leave her alone and give her space….

Leaving the Arcana Library, I even more dejected than normal… I peered through the two classroom nothing baout the rooms were special and similiar to that of the majority of the classrooms…

A little further down the fifth floor I find a room called "Junk Garage" I enter it and Shiori was inside half amazed half disheartened. Another memorial of Kazue Miyamoto… The third… Her room...Yuri…'s trauma and lost of her maternal surrogate, and now something that I am sure Kazue loved (I am certain that as she had to go to the headmaster's office in order to speak with Monobunny, she was already familiar with most of the Academy…

The Junk Garage was full of mechanical parts… Various engines, automobiles scrapes, and that same motor cycle Kazue road to her death on was here as well, burnt. I am surprised that it manage to survive being burnt by motorcylce engines based flamethrowers. Sitting down drinking what appears to be black coffee bean paste mocha, Shiori looked down depressed

"Yo, Hayate. This garage.. You think that maybe Kazue was able to use this room before she died?" Shiori asked me gloomily

"I would like to think so…."

"Have you seen Yuri?" said Shiori

"Yeah she is in the arcane Library…."

"I wish that there was something that I could say to her as words of comfort but I pushed her too far… Trying to frame her to protect Moe, accused her of murder at the first sight against Hoshi… If Hoshi and Takuma were alive they would hate me…. "

Shiori raised her sleeves and reflected at the two names she carved on her arms.. Moe Moto and Hibiki Himura..

"Were I to guess, Hoshi would have been upset until you showed your remorse and even then after he technically murdered Takuma, Hoshi im almost sure he would no right to judge you. And Takuma would probably possess my body and punch you in the face for your self blame...well if his spirit could be found"

Shiori surrendered a small chuckle.. Seeing her happy made me happy.. This happiness was not attributed to her elevated mood rather a genuine

Lets see what else is here… A small workshop room was also in the room… According to Shiori, there are a lot of spare parts used to build inventions but also a lot of tools that can be used as weapons.a set of 5 hammers… Drills, saws, lawnmowers, screws, and surprisingly there were also heaps of trash cans… next to is a hydraullic automatic press a conveyer belt that led to a trash duct...a trash duct…. That was relesing smoke… that was going through an air purifier at top. I am guessing that is to guessing that is for disposing of scraps and failed experiements….. The trash duct looked as if a human could fit through it….

"Hiya buddies!"

"How unfortunate I was beginning to get comfortable with your nonexistence" Said Shiori

"Now, dont be that way, ...I was just going to tell-

"Tell a misleading secret that would manipulate one of us to orchestrate another murder!?" I said

"Yeah! You repugnant hobo of a bunny!"

We turned to see who was speaking and behind us was Naomi holding a digital camera as if it was a weapon.

"Naomi!?"

"Hi bros, whats up?"

"Naomi when did you get here?" Asked Shiori

"Oh just now, I was just playing some video games in the arcade" Naomi said kindly before pulling her camera at Monobunny

"Now what is going on meanie!? I have a camera and I am not afraid to use it!"

Monobunnny gained his deapan look "Ummm lady you DO realize that violence against the headmaster is strictly forbidden by default and that a camera is practically useless as a murder weapon?"

"There is no fooling me this time fool!"

"Naomi now is not the time to be playing around!" I yelled honestly exasperated from Taichi's and Kazue's deaths…

"ANY how, bun buns, I thought that I would inform you that this conveyer belt and stuff leads to the incinerator in the trash room."

"But thats common sense" Said Naomi pointing at the small holes in the ceiling "If there was not a form of insulation or air purification we would all die of suffocation or something like that..? So of course it would make sense for this to have acting as a kind of furnace"

"That…" Monobunny robotic tongue seemed to have been bugged and bundled in silence, we too were a little shocked at the sense Naomi was making, then again, this is not saying much because of her sporadic and spontaneous personality.

"Well since you know, I guess there is not any reason for me to keep explaining then….bon bye…." Said a depressed and rejected Monobunny before disappearing into the floors.

"He seemed kinda depressed dont you think?" said Naomi

"Yeah...its really weird how human he almost sounded," Said Shiori "But he is still a dick" Shiori finished

"Naomi speaking of which you were acting differently than normal." I said

"Oh me, really! I guess I dont want Kazue's ghost to come barging out of the afterlife to assassinate me…" Naomi shrugged momentarily before she pulled out her E-Planner

Was it really Kazue that got Naomi to act understandable? Kazue DID have an impact on everyone but mostly on Yuri…. But there was not really a lot more to search for in this room and Shiorio just was starting a conversation with her… While the conversation was for once very positive, I snuck out of the junk garage and moved to the next areas of the third floor.

Moving down the hallway, their were two cross paths. The Hallway to the right was illuminated with white lights, and the left were dimly lit by red lights with a hallway with despairingly black wall paper. Knowing what was on the left was going to be crazy anyway, I turned to the hallway on the left.

By the end there were only two rooms.. The faculty office… and the headmasters office...Finally some rooms that were more obvious hints of humanity here. But no staff, no headmaster aside from that sociopathic rabbit….. A killing game….. a...Omega… I would honestly be very surprised to find anyone alive here.. But so far there were no hints on what was going on and why were we trapped in a killing game. Except Kazue's hint about the state of the outside world..

I braced myself mentally and psychologically for what murderous, obscene, gory, and graphically pop violent scee that was lurking, stalking waiting inside the headmaster's office. However try as I might and to my gratitiude..the door would not open.

That is not strange. It would make sense for the mastermind's lair to be locked. Even the faculty office doors were shut.

Feeling annoyed for wasting some time I checked the final rooms to the right…. The magic room was the first and on my left.. It was full of books on magic… And had books from the Magical Academia ...maybe even more… Even though I was not a magician, I still heard a lot about the academy from a pair of famous twins, and a legendary mage from japan… during my travels.

With that room examined…. I left and enter the final room on the floor… It was a gaming arcade… Arcade machines were piled on top each other…. There were crane game machines large enough to fit 5 bodies...and a large crane claw… Most of the prizes were Palate Swapped Monobunnies however some were stuffed animals that resembled the mascots forest animals and reindeer that assaulted even were cartoon like rats dressed up in maid outfits… and technicolored vampire bats that were in Kazue's Execution….

Note to self… I should avoid bringing Yuri inside this arcade… however I noticed something… Yuri's ID card…? I did not even know that we received ID cards… It looks old but not one of us received these cards so why does Yuri have one….?

It seems that everything has been discovered and even now… Now that I have examined the entire fifth floor. I noticed that I did not see any stair wells to any higher floors so I guess that this is it of Autumn Springs Academy. Everything except the Faculity and Headmaster's office have been discovered… WIth that knowledge in mind, I returned to the Dinning hall….

"Huh, Junko? And Hiakru? Have you been in the dinning hall, all day?"

"No, Hayate. We have just been searching the entire Academy while looking at the map of the entire Academy…. OF COURSE WE HAVE BEEN HERE ALL DAY YOU DOLT!" Said Junko..or more accurately scolded

"Well how was I supposed to know!? Better yet, HOW DO YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE MAP OF THE ACADEMY!?"

"You should have known from the pile of E-Planners that were located in the Computer Lab!"

"E-Planners!?"

"Ugh I swear that you are STUPID ACTING but I suppose that you have been proven to be more than reliable, so sigh I GUESS that I will forgive you of this idiocy JUST THIS ONE TIME."

"You're implying that the E-Planners from the dead students are sent to the Computer Lab?" I asked

"Sharp… " Compliemented Junko "Yes. They are… And I reviewed all of their abilities… Foresight, Palate Change, Religion Background Check, Timber Spot, Creative Translation, Gold Storage, Hardwire, Weapon's Eye, but the one that I am using right now is Moe's.. His ability was called Room Service."

"But wasn't his ability rooted to seeing the messy rooms of the academy"

"Affirmative. However the ability app installed within the planner also gives a comprehensive map of the entire academy in the process. Even floors that were undiscovered were within our sight." confirmed Hikaru

"But if thats true, couldn't you have shared this knowledge with the rest of us? It would have saved us a lot of time... "

"AND HAVE YOU RUIN MY IDEAS? No thanks! Besides the existence of a traitor made it worrisome to trust idiots with said knowledge...But with the traior dead," Started with a edge of hesitation uncanny of the ivory haired know it all. Hikaru sighed

"We are freely able to exchange data with the traitorous spyware deleted." Finished Hikaru.

This was not the first time that Junko expressed an amount of disbelief or shock. Takuma's death and Moe's and Kazue's role as the blackened seemed to have also somewhat shocked her. If I think about it, maybe even ironic in Kazue's case, considering that the two disliked one another.

"Exactly….Also I think that I found some data-" Junko began before Kazuki, Shiori, Yuri, and Naomi arrived back from upstairs.

"Hey snobs" Shiori said casually, languidly nodding to Kazuki and Junko, before taking Yuri's petrified hand and leading the catatonic inventor to a seat in the dining hall.

"We found fun stuff guys!" said Naomi cheerfully with an oddly large digital camera hanging around her neck takin a seat next to Junko.

"Nothing here found should be deemed as fun, foolish girl!" snarled Kazuki

"Snarkiness aside," I began "I found the headmaster's room as well as the faculty office…."

"YOU FOUND THE HEADMASTER'S LAIR!?" jolted Yuri, surprising most of us…. Her eyes lit up like a lightning bolt strike to a downed power generator

"Glad to see that your condition is operative and that your autonomy is functioning" Hikaru replied oddly kindly for her.

"Yes..however it was locked" Said Hayate "I'm sorry, but hey, at least its something, right?"

"Ohh…"Yuri murmured before collapsing back into a mental and emotional shutdown.

"If you aren't going to man up soon, you'll make me man your brain up, and do you REALLY want that!?" asked Junko threatening Yuri with her ominous words.

"Now, lets try to stay on track Junko," Naomi calmly suggested..

The rest of us meanwhile shared our discoveries of the campus. Yuri had to have been nudged to speak by Junko who managed to knock some sense into her...almost literally had Kazuki not stopped her….Despite leading the discussion/investigation, we did not hear much if not anything from Kazuki making it seem as if that he really did not care too much or perhaps that he was himself secretly bothered by their words.

The Ultimate Thespian.. What on earth could that be. Kazuki did not seem perturbed too much by the insult when Yuri declared him that. Kazuki might have concluded it as bittered words from a grieving peasant.. Or maybe, his disdainful indifference could very well be a facade too?

Despite all we have brought up, we still could not find a way to leave the academy but that is when it happened

"You will come see me in the computer laboratory. I will have an announcement to make"

"Hikaru, what are you doing?" Straightforwardly asked Junko

"I have finished analyzing the data… and I desire to finally disclose the findings of the data excavation. However you need to come to the computer lab."

"So what time should we meet?" I asked

"A well proposed question inferior scum" Kazuki agreed

"SHUT UP! I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I THINK THAT ITS A GOOD TIME TO TELL YOU!" Reprimanded Junko thus ending the conversation and we all scattered away

However before I could react, Yuri grabbed me and darted me away to her dorm room

"Yuri! What on earth are you-"

"WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Instantly Yuri was leaking torrents of tears in many directions.

"Yuri! Calm down-"

"NO! I will NOT CALM DOWN! Do you have ANY idea how wretched that I feel!? As an inventor, no as a freaking friend!?"

"Uh...well… you werent exactly being THAT unbearable…?" I said quickly trying to think of a way to tranquil her emotional fury and self lament even though it was admittingly her fault how the previous class trial turned out.

"I spent this entire time making psychological 'inventions' to protect my sanity….and as JUNKO pointed out, I could have freed everyone an Ka-kazu-Kazue and Kazue from here! By making actual inventions and not those vampiric waste of time developments!"

"But...why did you even make your inventions based on vampires to begin with? Although the creativeness of it was admirable… You could have been more practical about your inventions and maybe even past inventions you manufactured."

"Its because of my vampire family!"

"Your...Vampire family?" Is she being serious right now? I could feel that she was not lying this time or concealing any emotions… which is why I am stunned

"Well, its not like they are my BLOOD family, and its not like that my normal family didnt love me. On the contrary. They dotted me.."

"If they loved you so what was the meaning of this vampire family?" I asked

When I went to Hopes and Dreams Highschool before attending Autumn Springs, I was bullied because of my bubbly personality... While I was lonely on the streets seeking for friends a group of young looking vampires took me in. They treated me like family and protected me from harm. As long as I was with them I felt protected and then I created vampire based weapons and gear.. I thought that I was doing charity work"

"Well that was awesome that they cared about you...but it does not look like it ended pleasantly with your-"

"SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH!"

"Ah! Sorry please carry on…"

"But I figured things were too good….." Yuri said downcasted "I later discovered them pirating my inventions and passing them off as their own.. It was heart wrenching and conflicting. On one hand, these people my vampire buddies were my guardians when I needed them and then yet these same people were betraying me… I politely confronted them but they just threatened to abandon me and take everything from me… Soon I realized that they too though homeless were weak. They truthfully struggled while I was always cheerful and outgoing… It drove them crazy, being scouted for Autumn Springs Academy made all of them go away… So I had to invent a persona to protect me and attract others which meant putting up this cutesy farce"

"HA!"

"Eh"

"Ahahhahahahahhahaha! You're funny Yuri!" I could not help but laugh

"Wh-what!

"I have honestly always suspected that you fabricated your personality but when you admit it while also being cheerful it helps me realize"

"Huh?" Yuri seemed to have been confused but little did she know…

"What I mean is, that you have always been more than just cheerful...the more you conceal your emotions the worse they are when revealed… you never had to hide anything.."

"SO basiically I have been wasting my time with my emotion inventions..so in order to umm remedy it… I have to create...no…"

"I have...to...try…..and be strong" Yuri said emotionlessly and vulnerable "Like what Junko said in the class trial..I cannot die yet….not while Kazue's dead. I wont allow death to kill me..Not until I avenge Kazue! Not until I leave this place"

She said with such a strong conviction that I was moved to tears… Her vampire jokes busted away and revealed a newfound ability….. An ability of strength

"I cannot wait until I tell my parents about you and when we leave…." Yuri began

"...I'll hook you up with one of my gay goth vamp friends" Said Yuri cheerfully making me face palm myself

Well….I dont know about the gay vampire thing, but if it will make her happy, then I will at least give it a try

Suddenly my head began to pulsate and my eyes melted from a blinding light that dazzled me and a voice said

"Twilight Yuri Crystal Complete… You got Vampire Fangs. Causes opponent's focus to drain faster during negative time… while recovering innfluenece Effective during ESPMDB…"

Then something else popped in my mind "OH Wait!"

"Huh? Whats wrong Hayate? Loook I cant hook you up with any gay vampires right now!"

"Not that! While I was investigating the Arcade.. I found this ID card, does it look familiar?"

I pulled out the ID card of Yuri, and handed it to her.

"Huh an ID card? It has everything!? HUH WAIT WHHHATT? It has my chest size!? Just what kind of pervert are they! My breast size...it must be HIBIKI HE IS THE FUCKING MASTERMIND THAT PERVERT!" Yuri panicked blushing

"Wait so you did not ever have this card?" I asked

"Of course not I wouldnt put my own BREAST SIZE on this card! Why would I do that!? I'm not that stupid! Sigh well shoot now I am hungry. Hey Hayate can we PLLLEASE go to the Junk GARAGE? I want to try and make something…..

Me and Yuri left her room. On our way we passed Junko and Hikaru who both stormed off away...without looking at us. We were not sure what was going on but whatever it was… We knew to not meddle in with them especially Hikaru as she is more elusive and difficult to read than the more private but pompous Junko.

and walked to the fifth floor to the Junk Garage. As soon as we got to the door Monobunny Suddenly appeared

"YOU BASTARD!"

"Oh bun bun if it isnt Yuri and Hayate..sitting in the the junk garage k-i-ss-ing! Well too BAD!" Monobunny sung "Unfortunately its within my right to say that as of now, the Junk Garage is off LIMITS TO ALL STUDENTS!"

"WHAT!?" we both said

"Sorry but due to the unforeseen circumstances I am afraid to say that no student is allowed here… now run along!"

"HIKARU OPEN THE HELL UP!"

Commanded Junko from outside of Hikaru's dorm room with a militant and aggressive voice. Junko apparently did not seem to appreciate being withheld from information. She already had lost her memory of both her talent and somewhat of her family but being a tutor, no her MASTER in the finer academia of hacking, electrokinesis, confidence, intelligence broking and espionage. JUNKO though that she deserved to know some inkling of knowledge. Being withheld until nighttime is absurd. The quicker we can break out of here the better. And what is quicker is telling us what kind of data that she was able to mine from the data.

"Access Code Denined. Apologies Junko Master Vaccine" Hikaru said from insde

"IF YOU WERE DAMN SORRY YOU WOULD INFORM ME OF THIS!"

"Clearly you are getting yourself frazzled all for nothing...paticularly when you are inevitably going to learn of the truth…. Or rather you should ALREADY know the truth.."

Said Kazuki who was walking from the second floor. Junko supposed that he was returning from reading in the master library…

"For an elitist you sure are theatrical. Actually, its almost unnatural how dramatic you are… For being so reserved and callous otherwise" Snarked back Junko

"Insulting me surely is not going to help divulge the truth from unknown waters, you should already know. Of course I have already mapped out my reasoning of what she is going to say. But first allow me to confirm something Junko Hisagawa…. I already know what you and Hikaru are up to"

Junko eyes enlarged "And I already know the contents of which you want to keep shrouded in I were you, I would stay the hell out of my god forsaken way if you do not want my tongue to slip!"

Junko shrilled with a forced of vehemently sharp rage that was thick as a slab of meaty flames and sharp as a brisk thin layer of ice that was as if stabbed Kazuki in a chst "Meanwhile return behind those library shelfed curtains…."

"Greetings Shiori chan~"

Naomi said calmly from upstairs in the garden...The night after the first class trial, Moe gave Shiori a tea party kit that he got from his parents. Seeing how she needs to learn how to be noble and cordial without blindly diving into emotional guilt trips, she added adjusted their designs with a more rainbow like asthetic. Hopefully he would not mind too much being dead but still…..he was close to her like Taichi was….except that Taichi was really more of a stupid but good hearted older brother, and that Moe was really like a sister despite identifying as a boy.

"Hey Naomi?"

"Yes home bro?"

"I know that you are attempting to respect Kazue's wishes...but dont you want to talk about anything?"

"Um well, there is this project that I am working on that I want to go viral when we find a way to escape from this abyss demon bunny infestation feces… Why so?"

"I-I mean thats chill!" Shiori wanted to shift the converation before it honestly got weird and or annoying"

"Oh the sky feels so great even if its fake and holographic as Jurou said...sigh…. I wish that I could return home Shio...Shio RAMEN!" Said Naomi lost in her own world….

"I do not actually care for shio ramen, Naomi… Also could you try just sticking with Shiori like early?" Asked Shiori, politely as possible.

"Alrighty, Shiori Chan… I wish that everyone could be here that way we could enjoy- oh"

Naomi realized that the tea pot that was on top of the solar power heater was steaming. Naomi had never made camillio tea before as far as Shiori knew, but from what Moe told her… she does not believe that Naomi understands the art of tea making. Naomi quickly turned off the heater, then she pulled from one of the small glass containers, took off the lid of the jar, which chilled the garden a little, scooped some diamond snow sugar cubes, closed the container by re applying the lid, and dropped them inside the pot, and poured the tea in their cups.

"Refreshing..Ahhhh!"

A quick jolt of pain shocked Naomi and Shiori swiftly ran to her side

"Naomi! Are you ok!?"

"Nooo...no…...NOOOOOOO!" Naomi cried and began writhing in pain

"NAOMI! WHAT'S WRONG MY HOME GIRL!?"

Naomi weakly went to her pocket and pulled out a yoyo and began playing with it… and slowly she returned back to normal

"What the hell was that!?" Shiori asked horrified

"Sorry, Shiori..its nothing...just a bit of excitement from being too happpy"

"You have a chronic illness, dont you?" stated Shiori

"...Could..you please do not tell the others…? I do not want them to be upset…."

"WHY THE HELL WOULD WE BE UPSET!? AND WHY DID YOU HEAL WHEN YOU PLAYED WITH YOUR YOYO!? Its like it was.."

"Sorry….Shiori its sort of personal...so I would rather not say… " Mumbled Naomi

"You should own up to your pain, not conceal it…. Otherwise its weakening you even more… but hiding it from the others...its your business you have a right for privacy… IS that why Keiko got rid of your hate video?"

"Yeah" nodded Naomi "I was using my illness to get what I wanted. I was a spoiled and gluttonous girl with a kindness sweet as black treacle cake…yummy..Oh sorry.. Keiko saw that.. And was conflicted maybe… She liked me but also hated me?"

"Sigh, to be like kinda fair man, Keiko was a bitch and conflicted as fuck bro, but y'know in a badass kind of way…!?"

Shiori noticed that she was talking in her gangster persona again

"I'm sorry Naomi… I will take you back to your room, but no worries, as a former ganagster I'll swear on my tattoos that I will not tell your secret unless if its life or death for everyone and that I will be forced to, deal?"

"Deal indeed, bro!"

Day 15 Time 9:55PM

Finally we all were in front of the computer laboratory. Junko came around and gathered all of us… And we we wating for Hikaru to arrive or rather open her door…

"What the heck is the wait up?" Shiori asked kind of annoyed and sleepy

"I'll tell you when I decide to tell you, GOT IT!?" Junko scowled

Shiori sighed with full regret and then she doned her sunglasses and pulled out two pistols

"SILVER HAIRED BLOND BITCH I REALLY HAD ENOUGH OF YO SHIT! COUGH IT UP!"

"Are you crazy!?" Screamed Yuri in fearful response "Wasting your silver bullets on her is a waste of time!"

"Yeah! She is not a wolf!" Naomi continued

"She's greedy as one" Shiori muttered darkly, putting down her guns…

"Either way, we are trying to get out of this hell without blood on our hands and together"

"Hmph, girl please…." Kazuki scofted flipping his hair "All of this is a genuine waste of time and everyone here knows it minus Hayate. Now Junko perhaps explaining to US what was the point…"

"JUST WAIT! God DAMN!" Junko said unreasonably irate, pulling out her wrench and slamming it down on the ground…..

Just then

*Ding-dong-ding-dong, dong-ding-ding-dong*"

"Bun-bunny-bon-bons! This is a school announcement! Its now 10pm. As such its nighty nighty time. Soon the doors to the dining hall shall lock and entry beyond that point is strictly prohibitted. Good night and sleep tight, dont let the ghost of your dead buddies bite!"

"I HATE that amalagation of malicious hellspawn legions" Said in anger tightly balling my fist. I could not think of anything but the deaths of everyone before me… The discoveries and betrayals, the stolen lives and the acculmulation of deaths. Only two weeks ago there were 16 of us.. And now there is only 7. I want to kill Monobunny so greatly, mangle his body until he died and turn his battered body bag into a dream catcher to force feed him positivity and have him burn and writhe as if he was eating arsenic spiked full course meal from a 5 star resturant with a gun to his head….As the rage and indignant emotions start to boil a soft touch, no hand I felt grab my right arm and a gentle voice

"What makes you an idiot is your blinding and overpowering emotions….let your foresight and perception not be clouded by ignornant black pyrostorms"

I jumped, staggered by what I just heard and felt… Everyone else around me surrounded me concerned

"Undergoing another mental collaspe?" Jeered Kazuki

"No! Its something that an apath as yourself could not understand." I said rationally as I could reply.

"Everyone." A voice said from somewhere…

A that moment Junko pulled out a walky talky

And the muffled voice became distinctly clear

"Every one I shall be communicating with all of you through this device now pleease enter the computer laboratory." Said Hikaru

"Hikaru? Why are you speaking through a walkie talkie?" I asked

ACK!

Junko immediately swung her wrench at my direction. I dashed backwards before the tool weapon almost totaled me.. Why is Hikaru's behvior seems more cautious and private. As if

"Hold on! Please tell us what is going on Hikaru! None of us understands what you are trying to do!?" Shiori pleaded "ANd you dont want me to-"

"I will comply"

I bowed respectfully. Eying and trying to visually project my hypothesis/theory of the situation in their mind to convince Shiori, Yuri, Kazuki, and Naomi, to follow suit. Whatever act that she is performing, its intedned enough to be convincing that we will get hurt for not obeying. Struggling with his own vanity, Kazuki begrudgingly bowed as well.

With agreements verified and confirmed. Junko silently opened the computer lab door. What ever all of this was about, we can safely assume that this wasn't a prank. We took our seats. A dark feeling of nostalgia overtook us. This was where we were all told the first motive… The motive that began all of this chaos.

"Moniters should show four reports

CODENAME EUTAHNIST REPORT 1

Kazue: Hey what da hell do ya fucking want!?

Monobunny: Bun bun buns! Hiya I hope you found your way here safely…

Monobunny: OR better yet, Keiko….After all she is one of the most intelligent student but she only wants to promote peace through artistically logical means and snobby…

Monobunny: Taichi, Jurou and Takuma HEY they are powerhouses and Junko and Hikaru, they would be simply marvelous knights but hey, of course they would betray me

Monobunny:So how about a rough japanese punk with a sister complex and a motorcycle mechanic, Kazue Miyamoto

Kazue: Hey… what are you sayin,? I aint gettin dis….

Monobunny: Miss Miyamoto, I would like you to be my accomplice, in other words the traitor who attempts to unify the party and prevent them from trying to escape as a group and one who will start disorder should there be a stalemate.

Kazue:Murder….is that what you want...really? MURDER!?

Monobunny:?

Monobunny: Well this orignally was going to be a motive, to let them free...no worries they are alive and being fed well, FOR NOW. but who knows..I could poison their food supply and control their living conditions like puppets

Kazue:!? No…..

Monobunny: Hell awaits and I could easily drop them outside

Kazue:Please..dont…..

Kazue: You never explained this kind of public execution SHIT!

Monobunny: DUH! Why would I want to freak out my own partner in crime?

Kazue: …..Keiko…what she was saying it wasn't making sense trying to kill Naomi but impressed. Keiko may have been hiding her choleric side… but this twist

Monobunny: Quite frankly isn't your business.

Monobunny: I almost find it convenient that you didn't have to even kill anyone…. Kokoro and Keiko attempted to as well…bun buns…..

Kazue: Kokoro…..hm….

Monobunny: Now back on track. Today I am going to be revealing the second motive and also the E-Planner Ability Function that I will unlock for all of the E-Planners

Kazue: What will mine be…?

Monobunny: How about HARDWIRE, eh? It should prove integral in the next motive. After all, keeping you alive proves to have delicate benefits.

Kazue: More like toying with my life!? Why not kill me!

Monobunny:So you can live with the guilt of betraying your little and most precious sister Yuri Minami..

Kazue: Fucking HATE YOU!

Monobunny: Speaking of which, if I am not mistaken, you were supposed to kill someone.. I wonder… you managed to seduce Yuri into a position where you could have killed her… I am worried Ms. Kazue Miyamoto.. Will my best buddy back stab me? I am sure that your family would be awfully disappointed in you… having to suffer outside

Kazue: LOOK! The god damn opportunity slipped through my fingas cause of Keiko and I could not have had another murder happening but heh too late for that! IF ya done, can I fucking leave already!?

Kazue:Why did ya tell everyone about a traitor!? This wasn't a part of the deal!

Monobunny: Aw, is that what you are wound up about

Kazue: Causing despair among all of them is only going to throw off the plan!

Monobunny: Or is it?

Kazue:!?

Monobunny: The fact hat you are reporting to m about their doings proves quite well that your despair is getting rather sunny!

Kazue: You have something that I need and no matter what with that in mind, I have no choice but submit myself to you…

Monobunny: Huh?

Kazue: Said- I-AM-DONE!

Kazue: Jurou what da hell was that!? You-you… I DEMAND AN EXPLAINATION FO DIS SHIT AT ONCE!

Monobunny: Uhhh ohhhh….. Jurou was having fun! He finally embraced his fun side….

Kazue: You gave him that damn book! What da god damn hell was that thing!?

Monobunny: Ahahahahha That book was the truth the bible… HIS bible… All I did was change the book title but everything else was real as can be before he JOINED the game…

Kazue: Hibiki going nuts, the fear gas… Hoshi and Takuma dying and Hayate almost blowing out his god damn brains! You are a sickening fuck!

Monobunny: SO WAIT! YOU ARE GOING TO BETRAY ME!? WAHHHHH NOOOOO I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE FRIENDS!

Kazue: Stop. Fuckin. Cryin. I know you don't mean that shit so shut up!

Monobunny: You are forgetting that your parents no family are being held captive

Kazue: And they'd be ashamed of what I was doing… Especially since I know now of the VIRUS

Monobunny: VIRUS!?

Kazue: Yous made us sick I don't know how but ya did it! No way in hell Jurou's arm was already mechanic…. And you neva touched him… So sumthing is up!

Monobunny: Sumthin is up!? What is UP IS that obliviously you don't get that I am the one pulling the strings here! And your parent? How about I let them have some FRESH AIR.

Kazue: NO NO NO

Monobunny: While they are breathing in the atmosphere I am going to tell you my FINAL MOTIVE FOR YOU. OBLIGATION.

Kazue: Da fuk?

Monobunny: You Ms. Miyamoto have been stalling for way too long now and I am sick of it! So this time I AM MAKING YOU KILL. If a murder does not happen in 72 hours I will kill your closest friend, YURI MINAMI!

Kazue: Yuri got nothin to do with this!

Monobunny: Oh shush she is the reason why you have been distracted. So I remodified all of the handbooks to self detonate and ONLY YOU must kill. If someone else kills before you then I will blow up Yuri! And if someone discovers you then they will have to kill you within five minutes for the bomb to disarm. SO NOW GET OUT AND HAVE FUN

Kazue: YO..STOP THIS!

Monobunny: Each second you talk the faster the gamma omega virus is killing your family

Kazue: Yes Game Master! I'll obey…

After what went on for hours, everything was clear… Kazue's motive to betray us was to save her parents… but we all learned a lot from this video… My eyes were stuck on the screen… everyone else was nearly as shocked… Yuri eye's trickled tears from her eyes, which was expected. Shiori banged her fist on the desk.. now she could not rally a rebellion against Kazue…. Naomi eyes were horrified and she covered her mouth with her shivering hands. Junko looked uneasy if not that visibly uncomfortable with this revelation as if she was thinking while Kazuki lifelessly black hole eyes glistened with an apathy.

"So" Shiori spoke first after the uncomfortable silence "This is the true reason of Kazue's betrayal huh?"

"Kazue must have been suffering.. Hiding all of that sand in her body bogging her down…"

"Why?"

Everyone eyes turned to Yuri who was on the floor sobbing.. Eyes damp with tears, her voice rippling through the waves of sobbing. Her waterfall hair even was downcast like a gray flat river washing joy with sorrow and agony.

"I never noticed the pain that she was going through.. I knew she might have been different but this is completely on a different level"

:Hey, don't be too hard on yourself" I said trying my best to comfort Yuri. I couldn't believe it either… I could not even detect that she was the traitor and never wanted to believe it.. and now I failed more than ever on trying to rescue my friends. Kazue always smiled with dedication but for her to be reduced into nothing like this crushes me to shambles

"Kazue Miyamoto…you weren't a dumbass after all" Junko stated in a state of realization and shock

"What the heck are you saying!? She just died and you are being cruel again!" Yuri yelled pointing at Junko

Junko used her left hand to flip her hair in the air like a super model in intimation mode. "Obviously, that is because you weren't paying attention. Remember the words.. Gamma Omega"

"Gamma Omega?"

"the virus…" said Shiori face now paralyzing in concern "Is a virus we were infected with?"

"Which means whatever made Jurou psycho, was that virus!" cried Naomi

"And if we were infected with the virus, that would mean that we all are infected with it… so does that mean we could all go insane like Jurou!? I asked trying with all of my might not to face the truth or plausibility of the hypothesis…

"Nonsense I cannot believe that incompetent girl thought that she could deceive me with a blatant fabrication."

Even in light of this revelation, Kazuki vanity conjured a barrier muting the the truth from his ears. Is he truly that mad, and delusional to deem none of this as true? Naomi's tangerine wavy but ankle length hair twirled in a tandem of confusion. I could see Yuri's dark skin blush hotly in rage

"YOU ARE AN IDIOT! WHY DO YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE A PSYCHOPATH EVEN AFTER THIS!?"

"Analyzation complete" Hikaru said through the walkie talkie "Diagnosis: Denial based immunity system"

"what did you say to me robotic mongrel"

"Computer laboratory page shutdown" Were Hikaru's last words to us before completely turning off the electricity and power inside the computer lab.

"Cowardly? As expected of a unless pawn"

"What did you call Hikaru?"

Junko asked with her fox tail hair blazing slowly. Kazuki's grinned with closed eyes of pride "A useless pawn…Can you not hear"

"YOU are the useless one." I said I have had enough of this of him "You claim to be the ultimate elite yet all you do is alienate and antagonize us! Kokoro attempted to stop the mastermind with me but was caught up in too much paranoia to stay loyal! KEIKO sacrificed her life to protect Naomi! Hibiki although was annoying and obnoxious, he at least tried to help us out! Moe was sweet and kind to everyone and even the likes of you! Hoshi was willing to murder the ultimate gangster when he assumed her to be the mastermind! Takuma was fatherly to all of us and risked his life to stop the culprit! Jurou at least attempted to protect us occasionally before his insanity! Taichi died protecting Yuri! Kazue tried to sace Yuri countlessly and gave us valuable hints towards the mastermind! Junko is a mentor to Hikaru! Yuri well….emotionally uplifted things sometimes! We would not have discovered many facts about the bodies without Shiori! Naomi helped our spirits! And I actually was helpful and useful for the class trials but YOU!? Youre just a egotistical maniac with narcissism!"

The pale crème hue drained from Kazuki's infuriated and twisted face. Moving his clenched fingers in his rainbow hands He hated that I was correct, right, and blunt shaft of reality thrusted through his space of delusional fantasy.. and Bitter his role lost by my voice. And then I will not forget his fringy face, grimacing and scowling, snarling his word and lost dignity and turned back and left the lab.

"Hayate, whoa…..." Naomi gasped, lost her voice and breath stolen by my reaction

"Did….my….truth…scramble..his..sight?"

"Quiet! Why do you have to feel guilty about that asshole anyway! You have to liberty to feel whatever you wish! No matter who it is!" Shiori voice boomed with a breath hot as a bullet

"….Idiot…" A garden of cherry blossom and roses bloomed across the pigmented fields on her normally emotionless and colorless face as she streaked out the door fast as lightning bolt piercing the ground in a split second speed.

"Awe see guys! If we try to be calm and think positive, we'll be happy like Junko was!" Yuri slyly said with a soft and demure tone

"Anyway, I think that we all stayed out too late.. We should return before Monobunny gets suspicious" I said before we all agreed that it was time. As I collapsed on my bed.. I kept thinking about Junko and about Kazuki….

Day 16 Time 12AM

Monobunny was waiting in the Computer Lab "Bun buns…What in the world is taking that punk so long!?"

As if his words evoked his call, Kazuki stormed inside "If you are here to make me you're pawn then you're grossly mistaken!"

"Huh? Whatcha Mean Friend?" Tilting its head innocently

"This thing that was slipped in my room what the hell is it!?"

"It's the TRUTH. An act of compassion towards you for not discovering Kazue's traitor status. Of course I'm not telling you anything else."

Kazuki put what was found in his room inside and watched the truth

Day 16 time 7AM

If it was not for the morning announcements traumatizing my biological clock I would still have been asleep undisturbed in silence, but today..

"It didn't play today? That's odd. The morning announcement always…plays…singing its tune of tragedy and discord but today… It hasn't? I better wait"

I waited five minutes and still the morning announcement was not on.. What's going on today?

I scurried out the room and scrambled to the dinning hall but I bumped into someone

"Watch yourself you insolent parasite!" Kazuki scolded berating me. He was on the floor carrying a few books and our E-Planners were on the floor. Already I was confused by the state of events and I hastily grabbed mine, while Kazuki snatched his off the floor and kicked me aside like a worthless pile of trash before hurrying off.

"This is why growing balls are essential for your weak self! Damn Taichi and Takuma for dying!"

Flipping her white fox tail shaped hair blazing alive Junko appeared to me as if by magic "You-ME-YOUR ROOM NOW AND NO DIRTY ideas" is all that she told me.

"Look if you wanted to hang out all that you really have to do is just ask…." I said "Besides you are the closest thing to a best friend that I have here"

"huh? What the hell is THAT supposed to mean? That I should be HONORED to hang out with your greatness?" Sneered Junko

"What the hell is wrong I am saying that you are my…friends. And well….friends do not necessarily…having to yank eachother around with a contamination cross bow harpoon hook launcher to spend time with one another"

"Well" Junko began to hesitate. I guess that she really is not use to not being dominant or controlling others to maintain her intellectual superiority "I suppose it should not hurt. Beside I guess you deserve my trust and we HAVE a lot of things to discuss anyway"

In compliance with Junko's request, I followed her to her dorm room. Junko's room was like any normal room minus that there was a bookshelf containing technology books. And then a deck of cards were on her desk. Junko signaled me to sit down near her desk. Junko meanwhile sat on the bed. Both of us were looking at each other in silence. I was not sure what was up with Junko, but were I have to guess, she was more warm, and brusquely more patient, her eyes soften and full of depth.

"Now that I have you in my domain, I want you to do something for me.." Junko said

"What would that be?"

"Tell me…am I mean?"

"Mean?"

Junko darted me a 'don't ask me' look and quickly dodging the bullet I sign

"I believe that you are rash and impatient but I also think that you are strong willed and dedicated. You are determined and tough…"

"You might think that's me Hayate but what the god damn hell do you truly think a real strong person would do!? They would not be insecure because everything thinks they are greedy knowledge fox, or that you are some cold hearted field void of good. I mean hell I don't even know who I am or my talent and I try to be strong and find others who I can trust info that can be understood but no one is reliable. No one understands so I distance myself using my intellect and arrogance and you think that makes ME STRONG!?" Junko snapped angrily crying something that Junko never has done.

I resist the urge to grab her shoulders and instead I inhale a deep sigh being exhaling "Well, maybe for starters, you should not worry so much?"

"WHAT?"

"I know that feeling of not being understood. At my orphanage as a child I was the pastor's adopted son and used my psychic powers to guide flocks of sheep to our religious herd.. Little was I aware how my talent was being exploited. After his arrest, I was sent to a mental institution. There I was alone and confused but I sought comfort and company with spirits who were far worse off than me that I assisted. And after the mental institution"

Junko stunned face I could tell that she was actually listening and actually being influenced by my tale. I however continued softly "After the institution burned down I sort of travelled helping people. A vagrant until being scouted into Autumn Springs Academy. And henceforth there I was a student then I was trapped here…"

I laughed wryly unable to contain my bitter sorrow. "But I knew instantly from my past tragedies that with hope, that strength I guess as well as knowledge comes with experience. So feeling pain is I suppose cathartic and well makes you stronger…"

"Hayate…Wow..for once… YOU ACTUALLY SAID SOMETHING HELPFUL?" Junko then upper cut me "JUNKO WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

"If only Kokoro lived, maybe she would have been inspired by this hope…. HMPH! Great just FREAKING GREAT! My analysis of greatness believes that you still have a lot of progress… When we leave here and IF I learn my talent… Then SIGH I guess I will allow you to work for me as my Secretary at the Hisagawa Foundation assuming that it even exist"

We both smiled. It just occurred to me, that her last blow, was a lot softer than the other times she assaulted. Our bond transformed from a bitter winter into a defrosting, mint breezed spring. What ever Journey that awaits us, we will triumph over it as friends.

"Junko's Twilight Crystal Complete. You got Analytical Foresight. Increases Focus and automatically strikes weakpoint. Effective during non-stop debate-"

"Now that all of that is out of the way…. I wonder why exactly the morning announcement did not play today…." Junko said and we exchanged theories for hours. After a while, Junko kicked me out and I walked back into my room slumping in moderate fatigue.

Yuri feeling up and energetic was eating in the dinning hall and was talking to herself

"This is like so really weird totally forreal… We always have morning announcements. Maybe this means that Monobunny is dead. Wait Probably not… Hm I wonder what this ID thingy is…" Yuri squeaked in a vampire like quirky voice.

Shiori at this point was casually walking in the dinning hall drinking a ginger root wine soda, burping aloofly. "Like dude… y'know why this Mono dick acting all odd?"

"HUH! Shi-Shiori!?" Yuri yelped voice tone returning to normal albeit high pitched

"Oh damn not again!" Shiori said irritably "Sorry Yuri…. I am very sorry I have been switching back and forth. I don't know whats going on with me!"

"I did not either until I regained my true persona back!" Yuri said holding her ID card like a magical tarot card containing an armored super sentai version of the vampire magical girl form she was in when fighting Hayate during their boss battle.

"Right…And that's relevant because….."

"Sometimes…Inventing a fake personality can lead to problems and permanent malfunctions in your sense of self" Yuri said darkly but strangely calmly.

"But its not like that! I am a social justice warrior mangaka yaoi fan girl, but I also feel my gangster side is acting up when I am trying to change myself for the better!"

"Then" Yuri's voice stretched for a second while she was playing with her waterfall purple hair "Why not be both a social justice warrior manga yaoi fan gangster leader girl!"

"Uhhh I don't think it works like that…" Shiori lamented depressingly

"Of course it does! All you do is stop trying"

"But if I loose control wont I hurt someone?"

"Nope! Junko uses everyone as nbaseballs all of the time and surprisingly no one died yet or death by Junko moments! Right Naomi?"

"Yep Home Bros!" Naomi rapped wearing a rainbow psycho color punk panda hoodie "Anyway whats good?" using her yoyos as if she was dog walking them

"NOW NAOMI!?" Yuri said bitingly "If Naomi can do this so can you! All righty no more excuses"

"come again!?" asked daringly Shiori

"We are going to have a how to build persona psychology class in the psychology library and then watch anime and manga downstairs!"

Yuri fueled with Kazue's burning ambitionous spirit, dragged both Naomi and Shiori upstairs

*Knock* *Knock*!

"Access denied" Hikaru said through her door

"Listen you cowardly girl, if you are competent and independent from your white fox master… then face me like an Ultimate right here and now!" Kazuki dared her valiantly but more of a vainglory kind of valiance

"Red Alert… Red Alert.. Activate shurrikens"

From the bottom of the floor Hikaru shot shurrikens toward Kazuki feet. Kazuki dodged them but barely and then he zipped away like the man he was not and without focus

*Ding dong bing bong dong ding ding dong*

"Eh hmm its now….10pm as such its officially…..night time. Well good night sleep tight and don't let the parasitic demon bite! Also the dining hall shall close and entry beyond that point is strictly prohibited."

"well that was different than normal…." I said to myself… Monobunny seemed confused. I wonder if demon hearted robots could get sick?

Day 17 7:30AM

"Uhh morning time already?" I said groggily

Wiping the dust from my wide eyes, Its been two days that I haven't heard the blood curdling soft voice of Mono Bunny's morning announcement. If it was not normal, then I would feel relieved. However this was not a normal situation. It's a prison of utter despair. So for us not to hear the sound of despair's footsteps..

"Its unnerving…:

*Knock* *Knock*

"HAYATE PLEASE COME OUT QUICKLY!"

Wait was that Yuri? Note to self: Yuri not calling me a gay vampire.. is also unnerving. I could feel the panic and urgency in her shrilling tone. Those bangs were like gunshot made from fist bullets. I jolted out of my bed and bolted to the door and opened it.

"What is wrong, Yuri!?"

"It-its Kazuki…Its an emergency! He is in the dinning hall, HURRY!"

Not even waiting for me, Yuri pressed the button on her jet pack strap and flew to the dinning hall. Kazuki is in the dinning hall, does that mean he intends on murdering someone!? I sprinted to the dinning hall. And when I arrived I was bet with a bewildering surprise.

"Why I welcome you to our magnificent performance, Hayate Takenaka…"
"HUH Kazuki!?"

"My, whatever is this plot twist?" Kazuki question with a raised eye brow "Be not foolish child. Act 1,2,3 and 4 I was the main antagonist, however this is the 5th act and my role has changed by my own volition"

"See he is being loco!" Naomi said pointing at Kazuki over dramatically wearing a military helmet.

"I agree with the idiot girl for once. You're acting unfathomly over benevolent"

"Like hold on…" Shiori stopped them. Shiori thugishlyy swayed to Kazuki in a unmistakable swagger and stopped. Their eyes met one another.. and for a moment until there was an awkward silence. No an uncanny ambivalent silence. Shiori took off her glasses and was sizing up Kazuki. Her eyes scanned his entire body. Squinting and then glaring and finally settling the matter, she closed her eyes and clamped her glasses back on her face.

"How did a bigot like you reform?" That was the only question Shiori asked him. I felt as if it was not aloof and emotionlessly or more like, cautious?

"Is it so inconceivable for me to have a change of heart?" Kazuki asked his hair and skin palliating looking as if a chill shot down his spine. Kazuki was talking as if he genuinely was so shocked

"Shut up!" commanded Junko banging her fist on one of the dinning hall tables. "Whatever fallacy, fabrication or deceit you're trying to scheme is not going to come to frutation. Your efforts will be wasted in vain. I'm warning you. The mystery of this school will be divulged, should you decide to foolishly interrupt us, you'll live to regret it!" Junko finished before leaving the dinning hall utterly repulsed at the heroic expression of the Ultimate Elite.

"My, she does not seem to be welcomed by my presence. Perhaps I should retreat towards my domain where everyone wishes me to stay" Suggested Kazuki again with a high pitch sappy voice but softly accented.

"Its not like we can forgive you easily after all of the things that you have done to us, Kazuki" I said albeit very hesisitantly "Please understand. You have been antagonistic towards everyone since we first arrived. While perhaps there is at least some traces of remorse in your aura and soul, I believe that we need time to process all of this… " I suggested

After Junko's outcry we sat down and enjoyed what was to be synopsized as an awkward supper. Soon we all parted ways. depressed. With no one here and everyone peace feels dry. Like I was sinking in a crude paste of grey .

"Hayate! Please come by but not on the down low! I'm so excited today!"

Naomi hand the courtesy to drag me out of my bedroom by force to her dorm

"Was..it..necessary for you to literally drag me out of my dorm room with yoyos tied to my wrist and ankles?"

"But the yo-yo tying was necessary please forgive me.."

Naomi bent down pulled out a pair of scissors and cut me loose. After being freed, she lifted me back up on my feet. A small, gentle smile appeared on her already docile face. Naomi then walked to her table. Her room was kind of messy but not like Hibiki's bedroom. Her room was covered in yoyos and drawing tablets. Styluses were scattered all over the floor. Picking up a form of medical document she walked back to me

"I originally was not going to tell you this Hayate… But after talking to Shio and Yuriko…" Naomi with trembling hands gave me the file. I read with open eyes. Reading what was written on here, my eyes began to sting from the briny tears forming in my eyes.

"You have this illness?" Hayate asked

"Yes" Naomi said face looking down. Its not like her to be so serious… so troubled "Its something that I had since birth…"

"But why were you hiding this?"

"And-like let myself be unhappy and in even more pain? Why would I wanna tell you that… I just want the pain to go.. Even if its psychosomatic healing"

"Naomi, YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER feel like you can't be unhappy around others. Recognizing a problem takes bravery and wisdom two things that you have"

"Really? I though all of you thought I was coco?" replied Naomi

Ngh, well its hard NOT to refute that, though she is more sound than she gives herself credit for. But if she can share her secret… then I can definitely learn that sometimes the best help is not helping at all.

"Coco or psycho would be a definition that would apply more to Jurou rather than yourself." I admitted

"We have to leave my home bro! For Kazue and the others…We'll escape, and have a party! NO I'll make a great party here and then when we leave!"

"When we leave, we're taking you to a hospital." I said firmly

"Why do you get to tell me what to do!? I am with all due respect, Hayate, 17 years old don't you think that I know what is best for my own happiness?"

"If you knew what was best…uh wouldn't you do whatever you need to do so you won't be in constant pain all of the time….?" I said in a flat sardonic voice

"Well," Naomi looked up with her stylus in her mouth. Probably ruminating over my words and weighing her happiness with her own personal health… She made a sigh of defeat.

"Fine Hayato, I'll go…but under one condition?"

"One…condition…?"

"Yes. You'll come with me holding my hand and when we leave you'll owe me a super sugery tea party with voluminous amounts of toys and sweets! I'm serious." Naomi said giving a dark look with a friendly expression on her face. I moved back,, paused and gulped. Her voice was soft but also firm. Her eyes were shining

"Agreed…?"

Her Aura pulsed an intense blast of vermillion. As if she was serious about the tea party and not one of her jokes…. I guess even Naomi has an intimidating serious side

"Naomi Matsuyo Twilight Crystal, COMPLETED! You received Sharp HighLighter Tool. Highlights the correct weak point. Effective during Nonstop debate and Rebuttal showdown"

After going to the arcade to play a bunch of video games with Naomi, I parted ways and returned to my dorm room.

Knock Knock and was a sound that I knew that would end with a crash if I did not open the door. Junko has been worried about Hikaru and not to mention the lack of morning announcements would rouse the suspicions of the others at this point. Its likely that Hikaru's reclusiveness could be the result of Kazuki. Or very worse, her own death. But not even the ultimate elite could probe her own mind elusive and undetectable. Her voice was booming and exploding it would be best…that I open up

"Junko…. Hello." I greeting with a soft but partly sunny voice

"Hi." She said briskly but in a kind of nicer tone than normal. "As you're aware you probably noticed that the morning anouncements have not been on lately"

"Yeah, but the evening announcements have been playing as normally. Which means Monobunny must be doing something during the daytime that requires him to away from his domain from 7Am to at least 10 Pm." I theorized

"My thoughts exactly… SO whatever that's happening is happening during the day it gives US time to investigate… "

"Um…Junko….the time is dipping in the moonlight hours of eternal rest…So why are you here?"

"Well," Junko voice shivered but face remained at a fixed poker face "Kazuki oddly sudden benevolence worries me."

"But we do not know exactly if he is faking or not. I read his aura and it was oddly clean" I said

"Hmph so even your extra sensory perception abilities are even telling you otherwise.. Fasciating."

"I'm sorry Junko but I do believe that Kazuki's soul is genuine but if you are being troubled by this so, then what we can is go to the Master Library and interrogate him…"

"Hayate, you could not break even a butterfly you wimp" Junko laughed jokingly "But I guess this is the only sign of you growing an extra pair of well needed testicles so I will humor you. BUT waste my time and you'll regret it." Junko said with an uncanny look of intimidating kindness radiating through her incandescent ivory burning eyes of a dragon"

Making sure not to disturb the survivors and to ensure we make it, we crept to the Master Library. Hoping to ambush Kazuki. However what we saw next was not what we were expecting.

The Master Library was empty. Kazuki was not there. A spark of white hellfire embers shot from her eyes and stared with Katanas Eyes at me… Her gaze was like a thunderstorm of raining razor blades.

"YOU SAID THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!"

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?"

"ULTIMATE-PARANORMAL-INVESTIGATOR!

"I may be an investigator and psychic but I am gained these abilities 2 weeks ago!"

"Hold it, this book? A yearbook?"

Junko snatched up the yearbook while effortlessly hitting me in the stomach with her wrench

"Keiko Yukimura the Ultimate painter. Once again, this young woman won the Master of the Ultimate Visual Arts Tournament. Beautiful and elegant, as will as noble but apathetic, her specialty in hyper realistic paintings ad psychological molding artwork is her greatest asset. Her company powerful as ever. And its no surprise that 's boyfriend is from a religious and holy family. We have high hopes for this young lady- Signed Rei Zanaryu the Ultimate Courier"

Junko read aloud almost in shock but what's more astonishin, Keiko's company. According to her hatred video she destroyed her own company…. Why is Keiko's information inside of Autumn Springs Academy Database if it has been hijacked before we arrived? Perhaps this was an interview from before entering the academy

"No. This Yearbook looks at least a year old… but something more the photograph of Keiko and her boyfriend is missing…. It was likely torn off. Whoever took it must was in a rush. Strange…"

"DING DONG DING DONG BONG BING BING BONG"

"The Night time announcement! Junko we need to leave!" I said

Junko closed her eyes and reopened them "You go on without me then. I still have some business to attend to"

"What kind of business?" I asked

"The kind that doesn't provide an answer, just know that I will be okay."

"Do you promise?"

"DO I LOOK LIKE I WILL DIE THAT EASILY?" Junko raised threateningly

"Uh good night?"

Without saying another word I walked back to my room. I have hope in my soul that everything will be okay by the morning….

Day 18 Time 7:15AM

"Another day without hearing Monobunny Hayate"

"Shiori, its just you this morning?" I asked

"Yeah, so far"

"So you have not seen Junko anywhere?"

"Nope, I haven't seen her but its good" Shiori said eyes clasped in some kind of deep deliberation

"Shiori?"

"Hayate I was wondering, if you could please try to exorcise me…"

"HUH?"

"I have been trying to change my talent…. And reverse this curse. Me being the Ultimate Gangster Leader..?

"But, wasn't that something you had pride in…? Defending the LGBTQABCI+…"

"No. Fighting for the innocent LGBTQQ+, colored people, poor, and other minority groups was the main purpose…. But the rest? It was too cruel, even for me…who would kill in a heartbeat!"

"Then what made you go this far then?"

"There is a reason why I liked Taichi, Y'know and Moe…." Shiori continued in a dreamy daze, "Taichi he was half Japanese and half European, and Moe, he pretended to be a woman.. while me.."

Shiori hacked a small chunk of her green hair off of the edges of her hair somewhat cutting her hair shorter. And then the handed it to me. Her hair was mostly green but party… cream blond?

"I'm half Japanese… My mom was Japanese while my dad was a Caucasian American. I was born from the same scum that caused so much hate. My Parents must have saw me as a mistake was my first guess when they abandoned me"

"You were an orphan as well..?" I asked tentatively

"Well yeah…. But then I was bullied for being a half breed… I had no amount of comfort. Being treated like half the trash that I was…. But then I became a lesbian when I was a little older. Me being a lesbian was even worse. My only comfort were American comic books but even those characters were straight and pure breeds. Even with comics… The abuse escalated until I was almost assaulted. I was cornered in an alley. Some brute from the underbelly of the boonies. I only had my hair filer and was ambushed walking back to my camping spot. This same underbelly had this unmistakable grin… it was when I heard his voice.. That the memories returned to me. My parents abandoned not out of hate but because they were murdered. So I grabbed my filer tightly and jammed it in his throat hundreds of time before I was covered in so much blood. I was scared like hell. Soon I calmed down and decided to take a stand. I was envious of those of status but I also didn't want to be like them. I dyed my hair green the color in the middle of the rainbow used the blood of that scum and mixed them with rainbow colored to make my first jacket. Using the allias I garnered support. And slowly more folks championed my cause and before I knew it I was a gang leader of the most powerful gang in the world. Others spiraled out of my original plan and became perverted with violence and madness. To feel at home I adopted my gangster persona. But I then had a talent for Manga and mostly Yaoi. I wanted to get out but if I did so normally then I would be targeted again and I really didn't want the blood of my brothers and sisters, and non binary siblings on my jacket. So I made a plan with my right hand girl to put her in a position to be caught only for me to sacrifice my honor to save her. That way I wouldn't disappoint and I could start a new life in jail. Of course I wasn't going to un dye my hair… But then Autumn Springs gave me a plea deal. Go there or go to the electric chair… But this gangster talent is getting out of control. I have became a second Kazuki towards everyone"

"Uh, Kazuki is no offense but the opposite of you in many ways except your introversion and rainbow motifs " I replied after listening to her long chronicle of her past skeleton museum. She ran toward me and burst into tears.

"Hayate!"

"Whoa!" Her embrace was a strong grip of a titanium shelled crab… durable and excruciating. Despite it all she truly wants to be herself and find herself. Well whatever that is at least as after all I'm not her.. But I could not do what this

"I think that your personas are both you… so what I can do is this…" I closed my eyes and using my class trial visualization powers to simulate an arena..

"huh? Where am I?" Shiori asked I was with her… Maybe if I transport her soul into her aura, maybe she will understand.. The space was the trial grounds…We were sitting in our respective seats. While sitting in Monobunny's chair was a familiar perso.. This girl was

"Shiori?"

"FUCKIN HAYATE TAKENAKA!" Burped grossly Gangster Shiori

"Why the hell you bring this bitch in here YO!? I'll beat her two timing ass"

"TWO TIMING!? NOW WAIT A MOMENT!"

"Ohhh Taichi sama, and Moe sama… What adorable little sexy men"

"Shut up!"

"You love them and whats worse? YOU ARE A MURDERER! YOU WANT TO KILL THOSE WIMPS AND GRAFT THEIR CORPSES INTO AN EXAMPLE TO PROTECT YOUR INSECURITIES… You LOVE THEM, which contradicts with you I mean OUR identity"

"IDENTITY!? BITCH MOTHERiNG FUCKING CLONE OF EVIL IM NOT YOU!"

Gangster shiori dimmed the area and then summoned her form from the second class trial…

"NOW DIE HERE SO THAT I'LL BE THE FREE GANGSTER!"

Shiori materialized twin truth pistols and swung them around with her fingers while Gangster Shiori had twin flamethowing chainsaw blade cross bows

"I'm your despair your true identity, I'll be the ULTIMATE GANGSTER SINCE YOURE TOO BIG IF A *censored*"

Gangster Shiori vanished then suddenly the illusion reappeared behind me and held the flaming chainsaw to my neck
"Starting with the cowardly nut CASE OF A FREAK HERE I'll SACRIFICE HIM A MARTYR to my cause!"

"What is the meaning of this!?" I panicked. Okay, illusions are NOT supposed to do this

: Hi Hayate I see that you are in Penalty Mode"

Hayate:WHAT IS THIS TRAP!

Mr. Narrator: These magical esper powers are to help you in the class trials NOT JUST TO PLAY WITH now, you have to kill her or

Hayate: Die…

: There you go! BYYYEEEE!

Shiori then took off her glasses and then calmly shot the gangster Shiori in the forehead 20 times. Then she summoned her chain saw and sawed off both of her arms and then she and me created a bullet the size of a meteor. Gangster Shiori stood in despair salivating before being destroyed.

"FINE I GET IT! PLEASE STOP!"

I panted stuck in shock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Shiori managed to calm it or herself(?) down…

"?"

"Look I get its complicated but I realize after watching you almost murder Hayate…. You really want to save me by snapping sense to me. Being a gangster leader wasn't about killing majority , drugs, and forcing a certain majority group to be human traffickers, but to help those In needs like I needed especially the corrupt police officers. Which is why I will stay the Ultimate Gangster Leader"

The Gangster Leader Shiori grew black angel wings of death but then exploded into rainbow dust, she transformed into a Crystal….. and everything returned to normal.

We were in the dinning hall confused as hell as to what happened….

"Hayate Thanks man. For helping me… .So when we leave this hell. You'll be my left hand member, wont YOU!?" She forcefully commanded me

"Uh sure…?"

"Shiori Ito's Twilight Crystal COMPLETED! You got Rainbow Bond. Allows you to reload bullets automatically 7 times during ESPMDB"

Drained, I returned back to my room

A few hours later, right before night time, I walked out of dorm and went to Junko's room… But before I knocked on the door, Naomi was returning to her room. She was drenched in sweat and overworked. I tried to get her attention but she just ignored my presence. I wonder what happened to her… But Junko then squalled horridly..Lost in a temper screeching tantrum.

"WHAT THE HECK THAT UNGRATEFUL STUPID SOCIALLY RECLUSIVE BRAT! ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR DAYS! What The HELL!"

"What is the disturbance that is troubling you Junko?"

"That girl is a freaking insolent disrespectful robot! She isn't letting me know anything anymore! Doesn't she realize how important this is!?"

"Why is it so much of a priority for you to accumulate so much knowledge!?"

"Not only knowledge she a human being, being separated from others for three days now cant be healthy! She has to eat…drink….communicate… I cannot believe that I am saying this but…."

Tears swelled and watered, reddening her eyes "Please…try talking to Hikaru, convince her to leave… If Kazuki pressuring her and bullying her is the cause of all of this, I….."

"Just do not even think it…is it truly worth killing Kazuki!? You'll just be executed and leaving Hikaru alone without you!"

"Really now? I would be unlikely to believe considering you nuances are here… You that vampire weirdo, the gang greener and that Yoyophilliac…are logically incapable but emotion wise at least youre competent… But you are an empath… So…"

Junko shoved me away from in front of her dorm to enter it and slam it shut. Well there was o more that needed to be said. I know what needs to be done. I was never particularly close with Hikaru so I don't really know if I would be the right person to speak with her but, we are mutual friends with Junko so…maybe that's one other reason why she asked me to help her….?

Day 19 Time 7:20

"Good morning everyone?"

Shiori, Junko and Yuri were not here, but Naomi was ad stuffing her face with plate towers of food. As if she had not ate for days…

"Naomi!? What on earth are you doing"

"MUNCH SCARF CHEW SMACK GULP YO!" Naomi was too busy eating…

"Hayate Takenaka, pleasant mornings to you"

Kazuki said walking in the dining hall. With Junko not here I suppose Kazuki felt safe to come and eat. What was on earth does he think he is doing? Naomi upon hearing his voice, stopped eating and focus all of her energy glaring Kazuki down. Sticking out her tongue at him and then said

"You annoying bully of a twisted yoyo minded fool yo go pogoyo yolo yoko fo yo! LOW!" Instantly pulling her yoyo out her bag and striking him in the groin area and stormed out of the dining hall gaining the aw of me and Kazuki.

"The bloody devil…I perform a gracious heel face turn and am rebuked even then!? Is all of this for naught!? Trying to invoke the genuine role of a supporting protagonist!? Damn that Mastermind!"

"Kazuki!? Huh?" Did I just hear Kazuki correctly "What on earth do you mean mastermind?"

"That mundane Rabbit of course" He said aura of white gust circling around with few sparks of madder ember symbolizing his anger.

"Over night would be an unrealistic scene to play out" Kazuki said regaining his composing as he flipped his hair dramatically to the side. "Anyway Hayate, you shall be accompanying me for the rest of the day."

"But- WHAT?" I cant spend the entire day with him..! I made a promise to Junko…..But…. What if I can get some information off of him.. Maybe I could even cure him of his vainglory?

"I could not care less for whatever trivial affairs that you had previously…. I require your company. Post haste!"

Kazuki dragged me off. We stopped and we stepped inside of his dormitory room. Kazuki looked a little pained and limped along the way. Likely this was from Naomi's attack from earlier.. As we arrived and entered.

His room could almost be mistaken for a holy shrine mixed with a sanctuary… Did Kazuki design this alone. Such prowess….And inside his room were tons of weights, book shelves containing books on, philosophy, quantum physics and many sociology books. Books on crimes, history, it was like a private archieve for him and him alone.

"Amazed by my grandeur. So now you should see is not a mere act of materialism, but awe and supreme power." Kazukisaid in such grandeur and excess. He self gratified and self elated As always he was the ultimate of everything the ultimate of the elite.

"Act of materialism"

"That blasphemy of a title, The Ultimate Thespian. A faker among the crowd! Yuri and Kazue somehow believe me to be such a fraud"

"Again, forgive me but are you a fraud? My aura reading always proved you to be a vain show bolster a peacock adorned in angel and phoenix feather to balm their pride ablaze. "

"My vainglory as you claim is not such it's the truth"

"And how is that the truth?"

"For I shall now grant you privellage to grow your own fallen wings"

"I-None of what you are saying makes any form of sense to me,I'm lost in the thick density of arrogant fog shrouding your insecure soul"

Kazuki then snapped his finger and pointed to the door

"My, never have I been so appalled and disgustingly disappointed by a potential prospect worthy of entering my paradise! Get OUT!"

"What?"

"You're ignorant….I was born to be the vessel of the fallen Morningstar…the Ultimate Fallen Archangel however as I breath life, I died…"

"You…what? Died!?"

"Indeed. I died for three days until I was resurrected with life. My body was a vessel to be the elite however I realized I am such elite, not a mere dead vessel but a hero of fallen light. I had emotions ripped out me from birth. With hard and harsh training I evolved into an ultimate being, and AutumnSprings Academy wanted me to join as a child but I wanted to conjoin all people into my world. To train those who have potential to be an elite.. So that I may change the world… In my liking I shall cultivate a new world and train those to become elites. Through out each case I tried encouraging you all.. but alas, all of you are failures. Waste of time. Insignificant of praise! Only you were the only one to meet 50% of my expectations, the highest of our class. With hope, you would have met 75% of them, its truly a shame"

"All of this talk of elitism was not a joke?" I could not believe what I was hearing. Being the vessel of a falsely angelic demon lord….Worshipping himself, building a society of elites. Yes, he is beyond my sense of morality… But he only wanted to help…

"If you truly wished to help you would not have done things the way you have. Blatantly acting evil with no reason…"

"I'm not evil.. For even I was appalled by deaths. Especially Moe Moto. To think she- no he was able to see and understand me with a sincere heart is rather impressive. You too, you can see it as well can you not?"

"I…see a boy who has endured tragedy and agony and evolved with pain and strength. Becoming your own savior… Although you are sickening for your evil past, I am myself not innocent.. Still, perhaps I can…."

I hated to admit it but I did after all committed a similar crime as him. Well I suppose I can come to some understanding " Understand but just know that we are not alike" I stated firmly but smiled at him

Kazuki scoffed at me, kicked me out of his room and turned his head aside and shut the door. I believe finally maybe that there is some hope for him…

"Kazuki Goda's Twilight Crystal has been COMPLETED! You got… Omnipotent. Increases your influence and focus by a lot."

Kazuki sudden display of kindness.. I worried that he is mentally unravelling. Shortly later Kazuki came out of his door and then said to me "Now that you understand we shall now go-"

"Go where?"

Smoothly a shrilling and cold blooded voice asked. Behind us was the callous and silently berseker Junko "Oh. So you decided rather than helping ME you go and suck the glutenous maximus of this asshole?"

"Wait Junko please-"

"Junko Hisagawa, are you jealous of our bond that we established..Envious perhaps?"

Junko could not control herself and swung her fist. But rather than slapping him, she punched me in the face knocking off my glasses. And then she beat my face with a flurry of wrench strikes before Shiori came bursting down the hallway.

"What the hell is GOING ON HERE!?" Shiori said pulling out twin pistols and pointed them at Junko and Kazuki

"Junko, youre the ruthless mammon who assaulted him… You truly are shameful… well farewell I bid of you" Kazuki said slithering back to his dorm room. Damn it its as if he planned this from the start. Turning me and Junko against one another

"Hey! Junko what is the meaning of this!? I thought you and him were allies?"

"Allies? No…. as Hikaru Shizue would say, you are blocked from my consciousness and my existence. Control Alt DELETED"

Junko said one final time before storming off. I requested Shiori to leave me be. I picked up my classes and then I went asleep

But when I went to bed I felt a darkness…..A flash, a vision of Kokoro's death….and then Monobunny attacking her with ink, bleach, and newpaper wrapped raw steak… and then 666 dalmatian pit bull chihuahuas starting mawling her alive

Then it was Hibiki's death…..who was then crucified and suffered through the hells of every single religion under he was permanently trapped by a inncubuss of fire and a succumbus with skin and flesh as cold as dry ice.

Next was…Hoshi…. Writing being cut in his flesh before being squashed inside a giant book

Takuma, drowning in a torture tower of boiling molten gold….

Taichi, trapped in a carnival ferris wheel roulette spinning while monobunny shot his body with sword arrows missing the target but cut of Taichi's head and pierced it pinning it to the bull's eyes.

What on earth

"If only I trusted"

"If only I was chaste"

"if only I was open"

"If only I was stronger"

"If only I was serious"

And my eyes jolted open

Day 20 7AM

*Ding dong ding dong*

"Good morning everyone its now 7AM time to rise and shine! Night time is officially over! Bun BUN BUNNNIES!"

"WHAT!?"

I said in astonishment… I'm wait… I cant be "THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT!?" I stammered and scampered out of bed. And hurried to the dinning hall

"When I arrived, no one was there.. That's weird…. But this is a first no one has ever not showed up at all and it's a little past 7AM. But Monobunny said no more than two people can die… But more than that… and the dream…Its Junko… I was horrible. To betray Junko and be deceived by Monobunny. What I did.. Maybe I can make up…my sin. Atone

After eating and praying for about an hour, I headed to Hikaru's room but… the door. It was…open? And the room itself looked as if no one was here..Wait…then whats going on?

"Anon!" Junko said

"Junko?"

"Anonymnous unmentionable. You are dead! Thanks to you…."

"Thanks to me WHAT!?"

"GUYYYYSSS ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVERS QUARREL!"

Yuri scurried from the entrance to the dorm area and cried "The fifth floor its on FIRE!"

"WHAT!?" We both said

"Come on!" Yuri voice screeched like a banshee on ice. And we all ran to the fifth floor…And just like that, fire was spreading everywhere walls of flames was blocking some doors but then

"Bun BUN NOOOO BUNNNS! Fire ALERT ALERT!" Monobunny appeared

"SO YOU!" Junko bellowed and lunged to kill Monobunny however Yuri stopped her

"LET ME GO YOU TREWP!"

"ARE YOU Stupid WE HAVE TO find the others! We need fire extingguishers!"

"There are some downstairs! Its too dangerous on this floor!" Junko screamed

"Gotcha!" Yuri said and she chased down. Junko winced a bit and covered her arm….. and then we all ran to find the source of the blaze… the trail led to the ARCADE!

"Huh what on earth?... The entire Arcade was like a a burning hellfire maze…. With dotted light on the floor.. What and why is this happening…

At the entrance we saw a barely conscious Kazuki Yuri came running back in.. Then she sheirked

"KAZUKI DIED! OMG WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE WHO BECOMES NICE SUDDENLY DIES!?"

"Relax he is alive!" Junko said

"Cough…Damn what is this mess?" Kazuki strained to say but couldn't

Junko then darted in the maze and I followed her

"HIKARU! SHIORI! NAOMI!" screamed Junko

I followed her but then I met a dead end and saw Shiori she was wounded and was with an unconscious Naomi both with arrows in their ankles "Shiori! Whats going on!?"

"I…I smelled fire… and Naomi ran suddenly upstairs I followed her up to the arcade and got lost…"

"What on earth…" I kept hearing Junko screams as I listened to her voice in the background of the flickering flames and static

"BOOOOOMM"

An explosion? I heard footstep barely but I had no time to check who they were… I finally caught up to Junko by her hair and then I saw a scene unlike any other. A scene that indiced despair upon witnessing it.. The Flames suddenly extinguished all at one.. Junko was the first but then Slowly Shiori, Naomi, Yuri and finally Kazuki

Scorch marks of explosions everywhere…. But two larger than the others..blood or some liquid

In the middle of it all… was a bunch of a machine parts of an arcade machine… what was inside the middle were those googles.. What they wore all of the time. These unmistakable googles…

"Hikaru…" Junko said emotionlessly with anger radiating in her eyes bursting with radioactive energy that would nuclear scorch at the sight of it. Despairing and mourning.
