"God dammit I cannot leave him alone for five seconds without him getting into shit." Hajime cursed as he realized that Izuru had left to do something.

"Um… where do you think he ran off to?" Kazuichi asked, noticing how worried Hajime was.

"Well, he either decided to go antagonize Fuyuhiko some more, or he's getting himself into even worse trouble." Hajime groaned.

"Maybe check your e-Handbook? I mean, that shows where everyone is right?" The mechanic suggested, biting his lip.

Hajime blinked and took out the tablet and looked, seeing that Izuru was on the central island, in the park, along with Nagito, Mahiru, Mikan and… Peko.

"OH GODDAMMIT IZURU!" The older twin yelled, rushing out of the beach house, running to the central island, swearing to slap his brother once he got there.

When he arrived at the central island's park, he saw Izuru and Peko fighting. Peko was using her bamboo sword, while Izuru had broom, yet was somehow holding his own against Peko. Nagito was standing off to the side, with a smile on his face, Mahiru was taking pictures, and Mikan was staring at the scene with a terrified expression, all while holding a first aide kit.

Hajime was about to yell, until he saw how well his brother was doing. He was blocking every one of Peko's attacks, but when he tried to attack her, she blocked as well. The two seemed fairly evenly matched until…

"Agh!" Izuru had somehow gotten the upper hand, knocking the sword woman's legs out from underneath her, making her let go of her sword, which Izuru caught effortlessly.

"How in the…?" Was all Hajime could utter. Izuru put the sword and broom down, walking over to Peko and offering his hand to her. Peko took it reluctantly, but gave a small smile.

"I will say, I am impressed. You and I were evenly matched for quite some time." The silver haired girl praised.

"I just got lucky… There is still much I've yet to learn. I would like to train with you again some day." Giving a small bow, Izuru gave a tiny smile in return. Hajime, snapping out of his shock, walked over to Izuru and grabbed his ear.

"IZURU HINATA WHAT THE FUCK?!" Izuru winced as Hajime grabbed his ear and yelled. "I look away for two seconds and you run off and go do what I told you not to!"

"I knew you wouldn't let me if I asked again… besides, I won didn't I?" Izuru's tone was completely calm, as if he didn't have an angry mother hen of a brother yelling at him.

"That's not the point. I know you would've gotten grumpy if you lost, or you could've gotten hurt if you got too cocky." Hajime puffed out his cheeks angrily.

"I didn't though…" Hajime let out a groan at his brother's words, getting frustrated.

"It is alright Hajime. Izuru held his own very well. Although he told me he was a beginner, I didn't hold back. He is a very good swordsman." Peko explained. Hajime blinked a few times. He knew that his brother was very talented, even their kendo teacher told them that Izuru was a fast learner, and very good at it, but he hadn't expected him to be that good.

"Izuru is amazing! I got it all on camera too!" Mahiru said happily.

"Indeed! I'm very impressed by Izuru's skill. Maybe his talent is something to do with fighting?" Nagito suggested, looking star struck.

"No. I've remembered a small bit, and I know that Hajime and I have the same talent, and Hajime isn't a fighter." Izuru objected, making Hajime's eyes widen.

"You remember our talent?"

"Not our talent, just that we have the same talent. I cannot remember what it is exactly."

"When did you remember?" Nagito asked.

"This morning. As I was walking around with Hajime I was thinking about things and it just came to me. I didn't mention anything since I couldn't remember our actual talent, so I did not think it was relevant." Izuru replied, making Hajime sigh.

"Well, at least your memories are starting to come back… hopefully that means mine will come back too." The shorter of the twins muttered.

"Hopefully. Still, we've explored the entirety of the second island right? So we should-"

"Ah, here you are. I was wondering where you guys were." Everyone turned to where the sudden voice came from and saw Chiaki standing near the entrance of the park. "Um... I'm calling everyone right now. Can you come to the ruins on the second island, ASAP? You can, can't you? Come quickly. Hurry up." With that, the gamer ran off.

"I wonder what she found…" Nagito mused, running off after the girl, with the other in tow.

When they arrived at the ancient ruin, the others were there, waiting.

"What is this building? It's so run down…" Nekomaru muttered.

"It looks like it's an ancient ruin… no, it probably iis/i an ancient ruin." Peko said, staring at the building curiously.

"Hey guys… doesn't this kind of look like a school? It's not just me right?" Mahiru had a point, it did look like a school, a very familiar one at that.

"This building looks just like Hope's Peak." Izuru spoke up, making everyone stare at the building, and they seemed to all come to the same conclusion.

"So uh… what'd you find Chiaki?" Kazuichi asked, breaking the tense silence.

"If it's something stupid I'll kill you." Fuyuhiko threatened. Izuru glared at the yakuza, but Fuyuhiko only glared back until Izuru looked away.

"Why are you even here? I thought you weren't going to rely on anyone?" Izuru's words made Fuyuhiko grit his teeth, then calm down a bit.

"That gamer chick can be very persistent, she wouldn't stop bugging me until I came with her."

"Anyway! Chiaki, did you find a way off this island or something?" Ibuki asked excitedly.

"I don't think so but… there's something really weird about this building… it's… better if you check it out for yourselves." Was all that Chiaki said, making everyone confused. "Try clearing off all that does and those vines… you'll see what I mean."

Everyone, deciding they had nothing to lose, did as they were told. Once the dust and vines were cleared away, there stood a giant, metal door.

"Huh? This… looks like it's out of a sci-fi movie! What's it doing on an ancient ruin?" Hajime was shocked, only able to stare at the large door.

"This mark on the door… it's looks like the word for 'Future'…" Izuru commented, running his hand over the marking.

"Who cares about the stupid marking? We should just open it!" Fuyuhiko yelled.

"There's no handle though…" Hajime mumbled.

"I think that's an LCD panel next to the door... Maybe that has something to do with opening it?" Mahiru said, walking over to the panel and inspecting it.

"That must be it. We just need to put in a password and the door will open!" Fuyuhiko replied, looking surprised.

"Yeah, yeah, you're a genius. But, so what? We don't have a single hint. It would be impossible to figure out the password. Or are you saying that what's impossible for the average person is easy with your Yakuza superpowers? Impressive!" Hiyoko said mockingly. Fuyuhiko looked annoyed.

"We could at least try guessing. We might get lucky." Fuyuhiko retorted.

"That's probably not a good idea… look at that thing next to the door, doesn't it look like a gun?" Chiaki warned.

"It is a gun. I have a feeling if we get it wrong we'll be shot…" Izuru responded, walking over to the LCD panel. "…I'm gonna try it anyway."

"IZURU NO!" Hajime yelled.

"Izuru yes." Izuru punched in a few random numbers into the panel.

*BANG**BANG**BANG*

Izuru managed to step to the side, avoiding the bullets as they flew past him. "That answers that." Hajime ran over to his brother grabbing his ear and pulling him away.

"Izuru I swear to god one of these days you're going to give me a heart attack." Izuru said nothing in response.

"Anyway… it's definitely weird… why would a door that looks like it's out of a science fiction movie, be on an ancient ruin? It seems… special." Chiaki wondered.

"The question is, what's special about it?" Kazuichi asked the million dollar question there.

"Um…."

"Um…." A certain bear and rabbit popped up at the same time, making noises of confusion.

"Nothing to say?" Peko asked the two coldly.

"Hey! What do you guys know about this building?" Akane demanded.

"I… don't know anything." Monomi's tone was concerned, though what she was concerned about was a mystery..

"I have no clue either…" Monokuma agreed, sounding annoyed.

"Y-you guys should just collect the Hope Shards for now…" Monomi reminded gently.

"You're saying you seriously don't know?! And you expect us to believe that?!" Kazuichi accused.

"This door was even hidden under a thick layer of dust... That was also your work, wasn't it?" Hiyoko asked

"Do you mean they hid it on purpose? That does make sense…" Mikan agreed. This seemed to set Hiyoko off.

"Will you do me a favor and stop talking back like an equal? Know your place, trash-girl." Izuru clenched his fists at Hiyoko's words, ready to slap the dancer for her attitude.

"Aaah! I'm s-sorry!" The nurse stuttered. Before Hiyoko could say anything else Nekomaru interrupted.

"Perhaps... the fact that the island's residents aren't around has to do with this heavily armored door? Could this place be, in essence, a shelter where the residents are hiding?"

"If that's the case… are we in danger too?" Mahiru asked, worry in her voice.

"Hmmm... Lots of possibilities are crossing my mind... But, it doesn't seem we'll be able to confirm them right now. This door is incredibly sturdy, you see. I don't mean that just in the physical sense. Its very essence is the same." Monokuma replied.

"What do you mean?" Akane asked.

"I mean, Monomi and I can go anywhere on the island… except inside there." The bear said sadly.

"Eh? You can't go inside either?" Monomi asked, shocked. Suddenly, Monokuma shot her with some kind of blue light coming out of his paw.

"Enough with your useless remarks!" The bear yelled.

"Aaagh! Being hit with a meteor fist is bad for my health!" Monomi cried as she was thrown backwards.

'…what even is going on right now?' Hajime thought to himself.

"Well, then. Now that I've silenced my little sister with my fantastic Pegasus Fist, let's continue... This is Jabberwock's mystery, you see. A mystery even me and Monomi can't solve. Which is why I have high expectations from you bastards! I fully expect you to overcome this hurdle yourselves!" As Monokuma spoke, Izuru felt a headache coming on from all the past days events.

"Heh, that's easy. All we have to do is ask. Remember what the tanuki told us the other day?" Fuyuhiko commented.

"About there being a traitor, or even itraitors/i among us? That's what the sad excuse of a tanuki told us." Hiyoko replied.

"I'm not a tanuki…" The bear mumbled sadly.

"That "traitor" must know, right? They have to know how to open this door... I'm sure there's a boat or some way to communicate with the outside world hidden behind it." Fuyuhiko's idea wasn't too far out there, and Izuru had to admit it was a possibility.

"Or maybe however is controlling Monokuma and Monomi!" Mahiru added.

"I-i-is there really a traitor though?" Mikan asked nervously.

"Of course there is! Whoever it is come out now and maybe I'll go easy on you!" Fuyuhiko threatened.

"There's no traitor! Really, there's no traitor!" Monomi cried out desperately.

"Hey, Monokuma, you're the one who mentioned it, so who is it?" Fuyuhiko asked, turning away from the rabbit, knowing he'd not get anywhere with her.

"Upupupupu~" Was the bear's only response.

"We won't get anywhere asking them, we should just-" Byakuya's protest was cut short.

"Hey, have you guys heard about an organization known as 'World Ender'?" The bear interrupted.

"'World ender?'" Hajime repeated.

"H-hey, we're asking the questions here! Don't change the subject!" Fuyuhiko cursed.

"I understand why you want to avoid it... That's such an embarrassing title, 'World Ender'. That's not even something you'd come up with in elementary school. It's like a kindergarten kid made up that name!" Monokuma said mockingly. "But they really exist, so there's nothing we can do about it! There really is such an organization!"

"Why are you telling us this? Who are these 'World Ender' people?" Izuru asked, his voice laced with malice.

"Just like the name says, they ended the world." Those words made everyone freeze in place.

"Ended the world?!" Mikan squealed in fear.

"This is not an exaggeration or a metaphor. These guys really did destroy the world. So that title, 'World Ender', is actually very appropriate, don't you think?"

"Then these people are... terrorists of some kind?" Peko asked, her stoic face faltering.

"Terrorists, huh...? I guess you could call them that. But, "terrorists" is the title given to the losers. Once they win, they become known as 'heroes'. And so... I guess these guys are heroes. They're heroes who destroyed the world!" Monokuma explained.

'History is written by the victors…' Izuru thought dryly. He supposed if this 'World Ender' organization was real, and if they had destroyed the world, they would describe themselves as heroes.

"Stop being dumb! There's no way such an organization could exist!" Mahiru protested. "Are-are you trying to say that they're the one who put us here or something?"

"'World Ender'… Does this mean that Monokuma and Monomi are also part of that organization?" Nekomaru asked, looking afraid.

"Who knows? I can only say one thing… Both the true identity of the traitor, and whoever brought you bastards to this island… It's all part of the World Enders' plan." Monokuma continued.

"… I don't believe you. Until we have concrete proof of this so called 'World Ender' and that they're the ones who put us here, we won't believe you. If all we have to go by is your word, how do you expect us to believe you?" Izuru said coldly, staring at Monokuma with malice clear on his face.

"Sigh... I did my best to tell you all that, and you're calling me a liar?! Grr... When I'm treated like that, strange things happen to all sorts of regions in my body! Anyway, it's the truth! World Ender are this island's final boss! And in addition, at least one of their members has managed to sneak into your group! That's why you must find out who it is... and kill them!"

"That's enough!" Monomi yelled in response to Monokuma's goading.

"You're being too loud again, Monomi! Punishment awaits little sisters who don't obey their brothers!" Monokuma grabbed Monomi by the ears, ignoring her protests, and dragged her away.

"… " Hajime couldn't speak. When he got his voice back, all he could say was: "What… just happened?"

"Did anyone get any of that?" Kazuichi asked, looking lost.

"Not a bit." Izuru replied.

Chiaki yawned loudly, rubbing her eyes. "In any case… it's getting late, we should head back for now and sleep…"

"I… guess you're right…" Hajime replied.

"It is getting dark. See you guys tomorrow then…" Mahiru said as she walked off. Everyone followed in suit.

Back in their cottage, Hajime let out a yell of frustration and punched the wall.

"Dammit! All we got from the new island was more mysteries… What are we supposed to do?" Hajime yelled.

"We wait, and observe. That's all we can do. Once we have enough information, we act." Was his brother's only reply.

"And that whole thing about a 'World Ender' shit? Was that true?"

"…I don't know. What I do know, is that we need to be careful."
