It's time for the Camp Trial BABY! Now, I know it's only been about… hmm, a couple of hours since the last post, however, due to the amount of free time I have today, I told myself that I might as well get it done before the weekend is over and that free time evaporates like water does when heat is applied.

Therefore, here you all go! The CAMP TRIAL!

But, before that. Here are all the truth bullets, just in case you wanted to go over them before the fun begins because I know a bunch of people who had short-term memory, and this usually helps them keep their minds fresh. So, here you go:

[Addendum: I had to fix Truth Bullet 25 because I forgot to add a part that is crucial to the structure of the note. My bad!]

The Truth Bullets!:

Truth Bullet #1 – Monokuma File: Contains the details of the death of Deliah Edwards.

Truth Bullet #2 – Cause of death: the cause of death is unknown.

Truth Bullet #3 – Wounds: Deliah had her wrists and throat slit.

Truth Bullet #4 – Time of Death: Deliah died at 3:00 PM

Truth Bullet #5 – Torn note: There is a torn note in Deliah's left hand. The note reads: "Come to the Movie Theatre at 2:45 I—"and cuts off from there.

Truth Bullet #6 – Torn note #2: There is another torn note that is half inside of the garbage can next to Deliah's body that reads: "Meet me at the park at—" and cuts off from there.

Truth Bullet #7 – Neil's account: Neil is under the belief that Deliah either choked on her own blood, or she suffocated from a lack of oxygen.

Truth Bullet #8 – Harry's account: Harry last saw Deliah at 1:50 PM on his way from the main camp area to the cabins. She said that she had plans to meet up with someone. She didn't explain why, or who it was. After that, it was the last time Harry saw her again, alive, at least.

Truth Bullet #9 – Deep throat wound: Deliah's throat wound is deep enough to the point where both the trachea and esophagus are cut.

Truth Bullet #10 – Shallow cuts on wrists: The cuts on the wrists were shallow, but were enough to draw blood.

Truth Bullet #11 – Blood on the edge of the garbage bin: There is a mysterious bloodstain on the garbage can where Deliah had passed away.

Truth Bullet #12 – Mysterious note sender: The person who wrote the notes is also the person who murdered Deliah, obviously. Whoever they are, they are the ones responsible for this crime.

Truth Bullet #13 – Max's Account: Max thinks Natsuki committed the crime based on what she said after the motive was announced.

Truth Bullet #14 - Natsuki's account: She was with Monika, Ruby, and Nikki, helping to set up the campfire for the party.

Truth Bullet #15 – Torn note #3: Velma gave Shigaraki a note that she found, it reads: "—2:30 PM, I want to discuss something with you, but only if you come alone. I'll make sure no one is there beforehand. Please, trust me, this is important."

Truth Bullet #16 – Torn note #4: Velma gave Shigaraki another note that she found, it reads: "Go to the cafeteria at—"

Truth Bullet #17 – Park's pathways: The park has four pathways, all of which can be cleared in 15 minutes. This is how the killer got between the park and the movie theatre so fast, and subsequently, the main camp.

Truth Bullet #18 – Velma's Account: Velma was walking down the street, but saw that someone was running away from the movie theatre through a backdoor at 3:00 PM. She couldn't make out who it was, and before she could stop them, Shigaraki showed up to talk.

Truth Bullet #19 – Park regulations: If someone leaves garbage on the floor for more than 10 minutes, then they are fined 10 monocoins, or are punished.

Truth Bullet #20 – Park's no-killing rule: Within the boundaries of the park, no one is allowed to kill, however, grievous injury is allowed.

Truth Bullet #21 - Broken knife handle: There is a broken knife handle in the garbage can closest to the gate of the park.

Truth Bullet #22 - Jaune's account: He was at the park till 2:30 PM, then left to get some rest in his cabin before the party.

Truth Bullet #23 - Ruby's Account: Ruby claims that she left the bonfire at 3:00 PM to get some food from the fridge, when she saw Jaune fish around in the fridge, stating that he was looking for something to drink since he was exhausted.

Truth Bullet #24 – Monika's account: Monika's account: Monika vouches for Natsuki and Ruby, however, notes that Ruby left at 3:01 and then came back at 3:30 with Jaune. A minute later, the Body Discovery Announcement sounded.

Truth Bullet #25 – Torn note #5: Once again, there is a torn note, Dio found it in the cafeteria's garbage can. It reads: "—2:00 PM. Don't write back, just take the piece of paper you find on the table and put it in your pocket, read it when you leave the building, then meet me there at the time. I will explain later. I will give you another note once you meet me at the location said in the letter, you have to trust me, though.

Truth Bullet #26 – Dio's account: He was at Max's cabin all day, however, he did see someone slip a note under Deliah's door at 1:25 PM. However, he didn't pay attention to who it was. However, there was one notable thing about the person, and that was how they had a hood on, obscuring their face.

Truth Bullet #27 - Missing butcher's knife: There is a knife set in the kitchen that is missing a butcher's knife—the murder weapon.

Truth Bullet #28 - Blade in the kitchen garbage can: There is a knife blade belonging to a butcher's knife in the Kitchen's garbage can.

Truth Bullet #29 – Torn note #6: There was, once again, another half of a note on the floor of the kitchen that read: "—Wish to discuss something with you there privately. I know I've led you around from place to place, but trust me, this place is where I want to meet. Nobody comes here, and it's nice and private. I want to tell you my secret so we can begin to clear the bad air from the motive. You tell me yours, I tell you mine? Sound fair?"

And with that now out of the way, let us begin….

[A Tale of Lies and Secrets – Camp Trial]

[Play: Underground Trial]

The trial grounds looked… different. On the walls were now stylistically drawn knives, golden animatronic rabbit masks, swirls of purple, crazed-looking purple eyes, and strangely enough, cartoonishly good-looking pancakes.

"I'm sensing a theme here…." Shigaraki muttered, biting his lower lip with an annoyed glare in his eye. He also noticed two new portraits. There was one of Midoriya with pink paint written across his face that spelt out "Deku" and one of Deliah that had cartoon pancakes with a knife stabbing into the stack of breakfast food.

One by one, everyone began to make their way to their stands. No one commented about the décor of the trial room.

"That's just rude…." Ruby muttered, crossing her arms as she took her spot in the makeshift trial room. Max took his spot, shivering for a split second after realizing he was standing beside the portrait.

"Yeah, even I wouldn't do that," Max said, eyeing it apprehensively.

"Hey, doesn't Deku in Japanese means 'useless shrub?'" Natsuki asked, taking her stand.

"Yes, it does. It was also his Hero name," Shigaraki replied.

"That's kinda dumb, don't you think?" Neil asked as Dio shook his head.

"Now's not the time to be talking about that. Can we get a move on with this trial? Monokuma, if you will?" Dio asked as Monokuma nodded.

"Alright, if you say so! The court is now in Session!" Monokuma said, slamming his mallet down on a button as the podiums began to glow, signifying that The Camp Trial was now about to begin. Shigaraki steeled himself, taking in a deep breath. He had all of what he needed, and he had a case to make to everyone. He didn't know who the killer was, no one but the blackened and their deceased friend did. But he was going to bring them to light and make them face justice.

"All or nothing."

[Play: Class Trial – Dawn Edition V3]

"A-hem! Before we begin, I would like to explain the rules of the Camp Trial! This is a simple case of "Whodunnit." During your investigations, you have collected evidence of your own accord. Everyone here has different evidence or truth bullets, as I call them, so this is a battle of everyone's truth and everyone's lies. After the trial is over, everyone will vote on a person they believe is the Culprit. Everyone except the blackened gets to leave if you pick the right person. But if you choose the wrong person~! Well, it's the complete opposite, the blackened leaves, and everyone else gets punished. Now, with the needlessly long explanation out of the way, let the trial commence!"

"Well, now that monochrome got his word in, why don't we get the obvious out of the way. The details of the crime," Max said, crossing his arms. "Deliah got her throat and wrists slit in the Monokuma Theatre, however, as per what the Monokuma file said, the cause of death is unknown. I'm pretty sure we all know the answer. Right? I mean, it's pretty fuckin' obvious," Max stated.

"Well, yeah. By the looks of things, Deliah bled to death. No one, not even an active hunter, could survive getting their throat cut open like that," Jaune replied.

"But is that the case? I don't think it is," Shigaraki thought.

Truth Bullet #3 – Wounds: Deliah had her wrists and throat slit.

Truth Bullet #9 – Deep throat wound: Deliah's throat wound is deep enough to the point where both the trachea and esophagus are cut.

Truth Bullet #7 – Neil's account: Neil is under the belief that Deliah either choked on her own blood, or she suffocated from a lack of oxygen. - Selected

Max: It's pretty fuckin' obvious how she died.

Ruby: I have to agree with Max… I mean, having your throat cut open is a pretty open and shut case.

Dio: But if that is the case… Why does the Monokuma file have no cause of death listed?

Jaune: Maybe because Monokuma didn't know?

Shaggy: Please, if anyone knew how she died, it would be Monokuma.

Nikki: That, and the person who did it.

Erina: But are we sure she bled to death? What if she suffocated?

Max: What makes you say that?

Erina: I… I don't know….

[Play: Class Trial – SUN EDITION (No-Intro)]

"I agree with Erina. I don't think Deliah bled out, rather, I think she suffocated," Shigaraki asserted as Erina tilted her head.

"Wait, you actually think I'm right?" Erina asked as Shigaraki nodded.

"Not just myself, but I know someone else who does as well, right, Neil?" Shigaraki said as Neil nodded.

"Yeah. If you actually cared to pay attention in biology class, the trachea and the esophagus are both located in the neck, and the trachea is required to breathe. If that tube is cut, breathing becomes impossible. And, if a sudden influx of blood starts pouring into the trachea, well, I don't think Deliah would have to be worried about bleeding out, rather than choking on her vital fluids," Neil commented.

"But, like, wouldn't the lack of blood kill her first?" Shaggy asked as Neil shook his head.

"Blood, like any fluid, looks for a way to exit where it's being stored. Just because there is a perfectly good hole in the neck to get out of, doesn't mean it'll go through that first. If the trachea was cut lower than where the hole in the neck was, that means that the blood will go down the trachea first, filling her lungs up with blood, and choking her out. THEN, it would spill out of her neck like a fountain. That's why when people get slashed across the throat in real life, they don't die right away, but instead, start coughing up blood. It's because the blood is going to their lungs first, not outside of their body," Neil explained.

"But what if it hit the artery?" Shaggy asked as Shigaraki shook his head.

"Harry and I were there. The slash didn't look like a smile, and it didn't go across the threshold to hit them. It's safe to say that the killer knew exactly what they were doing," Shigaraki said as Harry clenched his fist and raised it with an angered expression.

"Yeah, the bastard. When I get my hands on them, I'll make sure they pay for what they did…!" Harry spat, baring his teeth in anger.

"Okay, but what about her wrists?" Velma asked. "If the wrists were slit, then she would still bleed out if they hit the vein," Velma said as Shigaraki hummed.

"No… that's not the case, because…!"

[Select a Truth bullet!]

Truth Bullet #10 – Shallow cuts on wrists: The cuts on the wrists were shallow, but were enough to draw blood.

.

I GOT IT!

"No, that's not the case," Shigaraki said, earning a raised eyebrow from Velma.

"Really? Why not?" Velma asked as Shigaraki smirked.

"The cuts were too shallow. They were enough to draw some blood, but the vein wasn't cut. If it was, there would've been a bigger pool of blood around her body, not just her neck," Shigaraki stated as Velma nodded.

"I see… sorry, I'm still new to this new murder investigation thing," Velma said, rubbing the back of her head.

"Okay, so she choked to death. Got it. But now, I think it's time we start looking at how she died. Like, who actually decided to go through with this," Shaggy said, crossing his arms.

"Well, that should be easy. I already know who it is, not if and's or buts about it," Max stated, smirking.

"Wait, really?!" Ruby said, eyes wide.

"You already know who the killer is? Let me guess, coming from experience?" Natsuki quipped as Max scoffed.

"Yeah, you're one to talk, right, Natsuki?" Max said, sneering.

"Wait… are you saying that I did it?!" Natsuki gaped as Shigaraki sighed.

"Oh god, what are you doing Max?"

Truth Bullet #13 – Max's Account: Max thinks Natsuki committed the crime based on what she said after the motive was announced.

Truth Bullet #12 – Mysterious note sender: The person who wrote the notes is also the person who murdered Deliah, obviously. Whoever they are, they are the ones responsible for this crime.

Truth Bullet #24 – Monika's account: Monika's account: Monika vouches for Natsuki and Ruby, however, notes that Ruby left at 3:01 and then came back at 3:30 with Jaune. A minute later, the Body Discovery Announcement sounded. - Selected

Natsuki: You think it was me?!

Max: I don't just think it's you, I know it's you!

Ruby: Max, what're you talking about?! Natsuki couldn't have done it!

Nikki: Wait, the baker did it?!

Velma: What proof do you have?

Max: You want proof, I'll give you proof! When the motive was announced, she said that she didn't want her secret to be out. She even said that in response to the "we won't kill anyone" pixie dust over there said.

Ruby: Pixie dust?! What kind of name is that!

Natsuki: B-But I—

Max: Well, what do ya got to say for yourself? You don't have an alibi, either. And don't even try saying that "I was in the kitchen," because that isn't a valid excuse!

"Actually, Max, Natsuki does have an alibi," Shigaraki said as Max laughed.

"Oh, please. You mean to tell me generic anime character number 3 has an alibi?" Max mocked. "As I said before, her baking in the kitchen isn't a valid excuse, so unless you have something else then—"

"Shut up and let me finish, you glorified boy scout," Shigaraki interrupted, causing Max to flinch.

"Boy scout…?"

"Thank you…. now, as I was saying. Natsuki has an alibi because she was with someone the whole day. Isn't that right, Monika?" Shigaraki said as Monika nodded.

"Yes, that's correct. Natsuki was with me the whole day, helping me get everything ready for the bonfire, so therefore, she couldn't have been the one to murder Deliah. If she did, I would've noticed her absence," Monika stated as Max scoffed.

"Yeah, okay. But what if you two were working together? What if Ms. Poet over there is just covering her girlfriend's ass, then what?" Max snarled as Ruby spoke up.

"Uh… actually, I was there too. So, no, that wouldn't be the case," Ruby said as Max groaned.

"Alright, fine. So Natsuki isn't the killer. But now we're back to square one," Max stated.

[Play: Class Trial – Dawn Edition V3-]

"Yes, while that might be the case, at least we're not baselessly accusing one another," Velma said as Jaune frowned.

"Yeah, but now we're back to where we started. At least Max had a valid point to be made. Now we're back at "Deliah choked to death" territory," Jaune said, shaking his head. "Is there anything else we can actually talk about?"

"Actually, Dio," Shigaraki started, earning the blond boy's attention.

"Yes, Tomura?"

"You were watching Max's cabin so he didn't do anything suspicious, right? I wanted to clarify something with you," Shigaraki said as Max spoke up.

"Wait, Dio was the one who was outside my door?" Max said, glaring at the blond. "You know, you didn't have to do that, asshole," the ravenette said as Dio shrugged.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. What was it you wanted to clarify with me, Tomura?" The blond asked as Shigaraki hummed.

"Dio knows something that happened at the cabins, and that is…!"

Select One fo the following:

He saw someone break into Deliah's cabin.

He saw someone talking to Deliah.

He saw someone slip something under Deliah's door. - Selected

I GOT IT!

"You saw someone slip something under Deliah's door, correct? Do you know who it was?" Shigaraki asked as Dio shook his head.

"Unfortunatly, no, I do not. All I know is that they were wearing a hood to obstruct their face from view. After they finished slipping that something under the door, they left. I didn't bother speaking to them, seeing as they weren't doing anything suspicious. I've seen people slip notes to others under doors multiple times during my stay here, so I thought nothing of it," Dio replied as Shaggy crossed his arms.

"But the only one who wears a hood here is Max, and he was locked up in his cabin, right?" Shaggy stated, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, Ruby wears a hood. It's part of her whole get-up!" Nikki said as Ruby nodded.

"Yeah! I do!' Ruby said as everyone looked at her. "Uh… oops?"

"Well, there we have it! She did it!" Max said as he smirked.

"Hold on, Ruby's hood was red. Dio, what colour was the hood you saw?" Jaune asked as Dio looked at the floor. "Uh… Dio?" Jaune asked as the blond-haired boy sighed.

"I…" Dio paused, a small bead of sweat dripping from his forehead. "Um…."

"Don't tell you forgot!" Neil said, eyes wide.

"No! No… I didn't forget, it's just—"

"Dio's colour blind," Erina said, interrupting Dio as she crossed her arms.

"Damnit, woman! I was going to say that!" Dio spat, an annoyed expression on his face. "Yes. I'm colour blind. The hood was grey in my eyes, so I couldn't tell what colour it actually was," Dio said, looking away ashamed.

"Oh… well, that sucks, now we really are back at—"

"Hold on!" Dio interrupted Harry as he continued. "I wasn't finished yet, just because my sense of colour is skewed, doesn't mean my sense of time is, too!" Dio said, crossing his arms. "The person who slipped the letter through the door came by at 1:25 PM! I knew this because I was checking what time it was, and how long before the party would start, much to my annoyance," Dio stated as Shigaraki smirked.

"Thank you, Dio," Shigaraki said as Dio nodded.

"No need to thank me, I'm simply the best at what I do," Dio stated as Max chuffed.

"Yeah, the best at stroking yourself off," Max said as Dio grumbled.

"A-Anyways," Ruby said, tapping her fingers together. "So, now we have a time frame of when all this started. 1:25 PM! But that begs the question… which note did she get first?" Ruby asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

"Well, I guess It's time to figure this puzzle out."

"Yes, you're correct, though partially," Shigaraki said as Dio raised an eyebrow.

"Partially? What do you mean?" Dio asked as Shigaraki looked over to Velma.

"While you did give me the first half of the note, Velma found the other half in the park. By piecing the two fragments together, we get the full message," Shigaraki said as Harry spoke up.

"Well, what does it say?!"

"It says the following: Go to the cafeteria at 2:00 PM. Don't write back, just take the piece of paper you find on the table and put it in your pocket, read it when you leave the building, then meet me there at the time. I will explain later. I'll give you another note once you meet at the location said in the letter, you have to trust me, though." As Shigaraki finished reading, Harry paled.

"O-Oh my god… she was lured away…. That's horrible!" Harry said, his face gone completely white.

"And the fact she actually went to… that's even worse," Natsuki said, looking away. "Deliah seemed like an airhead while I knew here, but for her to be gullible too? I mean… damn…"

"And the worse part is that it makes sense," Ruby spoke up, gripping onto her red cape. "It would take about 45 minutes to get from the cabins to the cafeteria, so by the time she got there, it would already be 2:00 PM, she picks up the next note, but… which one is it?" Ruby asked.

"Once more, it's time to figure out what's really going on here…."

Erina: Well, what if they met at the movie theatre next? I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it?"

Ruby: No… not really? I mean, if that were the case why were there notes scattered in the park?

Jaune: Because the killer just wanted to get rid of them. So they scattered them all around the place randomly.

Neil: No. There's a pattern. I don't think we should think about that. That's not nearly as important as which note goes where at what time.

"It's simple. The park has a No Killing Rule. If the killer murdered Deliah in the park, they would be punished for doing so," Shigaraki stated as Monika nodded.

"Speaking of which. There is another rule in the park that I wanted to bring up. Shigaraki, I'm sure you know which one it is, right?" Monika asked as Shigaraki nodded.

"You're talking about the…."

Truth Bullet #19 – Park regulations: If someone leaves garbage on the floor for more than 10 minutes, then they are fined 10 monocoins, or they'll be punished.

I GOT IT!

"…The Park regulations. If someone leaves garbage on the floor for more than 10 minutes, they're fined 10 monocoins. If they don't have enough, they'll be punished, and by that, I mean they get put into debt," Shigaraki stated as Monika nodded.

"I'm thinking that whoever did this had plenty of monocoins to spare. And since all the caches were collected by Dio the other day. I think it's safe to say he might have been the one who put the notes there and is subsequently, the blackened," Monika stated, crossing her arms.

[Play: Class Trial – SPACE EDITION]

"Excuse you?!" Dio snarled. "You dare accuse me of murdering that little twerp! Ha! Murder is beyond me!"

"Well, you have the money to do so, besides, 20 monocoins isn't going to hurt a rich man such as yourself, is it?" Monika asked, tilting her head ever-so-slightly.

"Uh… Monika?" Natsuki said, looking at her confused. "You do realize that Dio was the one who was guarding Max's door, right?"

"H-huh?!" Monika said, looking away after the realization hit her, her arms back to her sides. "O-Oh… right…."

"Yeah, I even heard him through my door complaining about how tedious his job was," Max stated, crossing his arms.

"Wait a minute, isn't his talent the Ultimate Manipulator though? He could've manipulated us into thinking that was what he was doing!" Shaggy stated, narrowing his eyes at Dio as Erina shook her head.

"Seriously? He's the one who offered to guard Max's door in the first place. Why would he then kill someone? I know Dio more than anyone else here. He would NEVER kill someone over secrets!" Erina stated as Harry snarled.

"But you're with him all the time, so you're biased for him to not be the killer," Harry spat as Jaune shrugged.

"I don't know man, the guy seemed pretty disturbed at the corpse," Jaune said as Ruby crossed her arms.

"Anyone would be!" The redhead stated.

"That's like saying that fish can swim, besides, if Dio was so preoccupied, how can we know if he's telling the truth about him seeing the hoodied figure, it's a likely story!" Neil stated.

"I don't think he's the killer, just on the principle of not agreeing with Neil!" Nikki stated, sticking her tongue out at the boy.

"That's not very logical, now is it?" Velma said, shaking her head.

"Guy's, we're not going to get anywhere if we're split like this!" Shigaraki stated as Monokuma's ears perked up.

[STOP OST]

"Is the court split down the middle! Oh boy! It's that time again!" Monokuma stated, a wheel appearing in front of him.

"Oh no… here we go again…." Jaune said, facepalming.

"It's time for… a DEBATE SCRUM! When half of the court doesn't agree with the other half, it's called a split jury, so now, we'll hold a debate. Whoever wins the debate, in my opinion, will have the rest of the trial in their hands! Team Monika says Dio is the Culprit, while Team Tomura says Dio isn't the Culprit! Now, time to split it all up!" Monokuma said, putting the key into the wheel and turning.

As soon as this happened, the stands began to lift out of the ground, causing a few of the people on them to regain their balance. The stands were divided up into teams.

[DEBATE SCRUM – Play: Debate Scrum]

[Team Monika: Monika, Shaggy, Harry, Ruby, Neil Velma – Dio is The Culprit!]

[Team Shigaraki: Shigaraki, Dio, Erina, Jaune, Nikki, Natsuki, Max – Dio isn't The Culprit!]

READY!...SET!...GO!

Monika: Dio could've been the one who wrote the notes because he had money to spare for the fines!

Dio: Just because I was going around collecting the caches didn't mean I was planning for a murder.

Shaggy: Really now? Why else would someone like you need money here then, huh?

Shigaraki: There are more things to buy here than just letting said money go to waste for fines!

Harry: How do we know you guys aren't being manipulated right now to believe him?

Erina: I've known Dio far longer than any of you have, and I know that Dio could never manipulate more than 3 people at a time. Believe me, I've been there!

Ruby: And how do we know you're not his right-hand woman then!

Nikki: I can tell when someone's anyone's right hand, she's just his friend, sticking up for him like any friend should!

Neil: Still, he doesn't exactly have an alibi does he?

Natsuki: He does have an alibi! He was guarding Max's cabin all day, I would've seen him leave the cabin area since I was at the bonfire!

Velma: But that's only what you're saying. Do you have anyone else who can say that?

Jaune: She does, right? Ruby and Monika were there too, right? They would've seen him leave as well!

Monika: Then how else do you explain someone else having Monocoins to spare!

Max: Simple! Someone who hasn't spent their monocoins on stupid shit, that's how!

The stands lowered back to their original spots at the trial grounds, and once they were settled in Harry scoffed.

"So, we're going to believe Dio because other people could've saved up their Monocoins? Even though he had the perfect opportunity to slip the note under the door?" Harry asked as Shigaraki sighed.

"Yes, Harry. Believe me, I have my reasons as to why. Besides, if it was Dio, then why did Max hear him grumbling all the time? Dio has a very specific accent that can't be mimicked all too well, so unless someone here can perfectly mimic his accent, then please do so now," Shigaraki stated as silence came over the room. "That's what I thought," Shigaraki said cooly.

"Alright, so Dio's not the culprit, then what?" Ruby asked as Dio smirked.

"Well, let's go over the last two notes, which perfectly align together, seeing as there are no two other notes that we can mix these up with," Dio said, crossing his arms. "I believe they say: Come to the movie theatre at 2:45 PM, I wish to discuss something with you there privately. I know I've led you around from place to place, but trust me, this place is where I want to meet. Nobody comes here, and it's nice and private. I want to tell you my secret so we can clear up the bad air around the motive. You tell me yours, I tell you mine, sound fair?" As Dio finished reading, Jaune shook his head.

"What an absolute bastard. I mean, luring a little girl around in circles for hours on end, only to kill her at a movie theatre? What the fuck man!" Jaune spat, shaking his head.

"Okay, so the culprit killed her at the movie theatre after they met up at 2:45—"

"HOLD ON!"

Erina interrupted Shigaraki from finishing his sentence, an innocent expression on her face. "I apologize for interrupting you, Tomura, but I do not think that you have the proper time. I would take more than fifteen minutes to get to the movie theatre from the park."

"Does she not know about the pathways? Hmm…. Shit. I guess I'm going to have to fight her on it then."

Erina: It's not possible to get to the movie theatre from the park…

Erina: In 15 minutes! It would take at least an hour!

Erina: Your logic, in this case, is flawed, and therefore, you're wrong.

[ADVANCE!]

Shigaraki: If that was the case, then how did Deliah die at 3:00 PM? Wouldn't have made more sense if she died at 3:30 PM if what you're saying is true?

Erina: Yes, it would be! Have you ever considered the fact that the Monokuma file could be lying?

Erina: If Monokuma doesn't know how she died…

Erina: Then wouldn't it also make sense if he didn't know what time she truly died?

Erina: Not to mention There is no possible way for someone to get from the park to the movie theatre in that short amount of time!

GOTCHA, BITCH!

[Play: Class Trial – SPACE EDITION!]

"No, actually, you're wrong," Shigaraki stated, folding his arms together as Erina shook her head.

"First of all. "Got you bitch?" isn't that a little bit rude?" Erina scowled. "But second of all, what do you mean? There is no way to get from the Park to the movie theatre in under 15 minutes! They're too far away from one another!"

"Actually, Erina. Do you remember when Dio was made to run those paths for Velma?" Shigaraki asked as Dio nodded.

"I know I do…. I don't think I've ever done that much running in my entire life," Dio said, shaking his head. "At least in a row, that is."

"Yes, what about them?" Erina asked, tilting her head.

"The signs, Erina. Each path went somewhere in the area. One went to the main camp, one went to the corner store, one went to the museum, and one went to the movie theatre!" Dio stated. "And they all took 15 minutes to clear, that was how the killer, and subsequently, Deliah, got to the movie theatre so quickly!"

"So, Deliah just followed the killer there, willingly? That sounds farfetched," Jaune stated, shaking his head. "I mean, she should've picked up on it at that point that they were going to do something bad!"

"I loved Deliah with all my heart, Jaune," Harry stated, sighing. "But she was really gullible sometimes. Plus, I'm pretty sure she would want to follow the person who took them all over the place," Harry concluded.

[Play: Class Trial – DAWN EDITION V3]

"Alright, I get it," Erina said, shaking her head. "But now, I have to ask. What's the murder weapon? We still don't know what it is."

"Yeah, now that you mention it, we've been here for 2 hours and we still haven't figured out what exactly the murder weapon was!" Shaggy exclaimed.

"Actually, I think I know it is," Shigaraki stated.

"Wait, you do?" Jaune asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well, out with it! What is it!"

"The murder weapon is….!"

"In the kitchen, there's a missing butcher's knife in the kitchen knife set. I think it's safe to say that whoever took that knife is the killer," Shigaraki clarified as Natsuki hummed.

"Actually, come to think of it, that knife's been missing ever since 7:00 AM," the fuchsia-haired girl said, crossing her arms.

"What do you mean?" Monika asked as Natsuki groaned.

"Ugh, do I have to say it twice? Fine. The knife's been missing since 7:00 AM. I was going to make breakfast with some of the steaks that I found in the fridge, but when I went to get the butcher's knife to cut it, it was gone. Someone had woken up early to snag it," Natsuki stated, shaking her head. "Seriously, I planned to make something really good for everyone, and it was ruined because some asshole took it!"

"Alright, so the killer was up super early to take the butcher's knife. But… if that's the case, what happened to it afterward?" Nikki asked.

"I think if we figure that out, we'll be even closer to who committed this crime!" Neil started with a smile on his face. "Plus, it means we get this over and done with sooner."

"Wait, Jaune!" Ruby squawked.

"Huh, what?" Jaune asked, a bit tense and confused.

"Don't you say another word. I know you aren't the killer," Ruby said, smiling, then looked back at Shigaraki with a scowl.

"And you! Hold on a second, it's not Jaune! He would never do something like that, besides, I've known him long enough to know he couldn't even hurt a fly!" Ruby stated, glaring at Shigaraki.

"Seriously, Ruby, you don't—"

"I SAID! SHUT UP!" Ruby interrupted Jaune again as the blond-haired boy sighed, looking down at the floor.

"Ruby, you said you saw him in the kitchen at 3:10 PM, right?" Shigaraki asked, crossing his arms.

"Yes, I did! He probably came thereafter he went to the park, right? What if he saw the culprit leave the park, tried to catch them, but couldn't so instead, he went to the cafeteria to get something to drink, like he was doing when I saw him, then run back after them, huh!"

"Look, Ruby—"

"No! You have no proof in saying that Jaune did it! I have an alibi for him, so it can't be him! It has to be someone else!" Ruby interrupted Shigaraki as the teal-haired man shook his head.

"She's not going to listen to reason. Isn't she? Odd, because I would've expected this behaviour from Jaune. Instead, he just looks annoyed and a bit frustrated. Regardless, I have to break through to her. I have to show her the truth!"

"Jaune was at the park at 2:30 PM, Ruby. That's why I believe he was the one who committed the murder," Shigaraki said as Ruby batted her eyes.

"Are you serious! Where did you learn that!" Ruby spat. "Or are you making it up! Jaune would never hurt a fly! Besides, Dio seems like the more likely candidate anyway!"

"Ruby. Did you forget, or are you just choosing to be ignorant?" Shigaraki asked as Ruby tilted her head.

"Oh, really? Ignorant?! Tell me, how am I being ignorant!" Ruby snapped.

Shigaraki sighed, shaking his head. "I can't believe you're making me say it. Yesterday, when Monokuma chased us out of the park because we were there past the time limit, Jaune said that he planned to be at the park at 2:30. Right, Jaune?"

Jaune remained silent, still looking at the floor.

"Well?" Harry growled. "Are you going to say something or what, you coward!" That got Jaune's attention, raising his head, a faint smile on his face, catching Ruby off guard.

[Play: Climatic Re-enactment V3]

ACT 1:

Our story begins at 1:25 PM, when Dio, the ever-watchful guard for Max witnessed our blackened slip a note underneath Deliah's door. However, due to how far away Max's and Deliah's cabins are, Dio couldn't make out who the person was from that distance. On top of this, the blackened was wearing a hood to obscure anyone from seeing their face.

When Deliah saw the note and read its contents, she immediately began to make her way to the cafeteria. However, on her way to the cafeteria, she saw Harry, and when he asked her what it was she was doing, she said that she was going to meet someone. Neither Harry nor Deliah knew about who it was they were going to meet, but Harry didn't question it further.

Once Deliah made it to the location in question, she was greeted by yet another note. It was at that point when the blackened got her wrapped up in his trap of deception and lies, and she was none the wiser, and how could she have been? After all, she was just an innocent little girl who saw the best in everyone.

ACT 2:

The next letter told her to meet at the Park, at around 2:30 PM. Normally, it would take the blackened and Deliah both 30 minutes to get to the park from the main campsite, but that was where the branching pathways came into play. The blackened had used the knowledge of the shortcuts to their advantage when planning out the murder, so it allowed them to have an advantage that no one else did.

This meant that while the blackened was already waiting for her at the park, just like they said they would be, all the while Deliah would still be making her way to the meeting location. Upon the girl getting there, our blackened was about to leave, and as they did, they passed her the note and went down the trail to get to the movie theatre.

When Deliah read the note, the note that said to meet at the movie theatre at 2:45 PM, the girl panicked and followed the blackened down the same pathway, and that was her downfall.

ACT 3:

As the blackened lured the girl to the movie theatre, they entered through the backdoor, entering at the opposite end of the main lobby. The blackened took her to the front of the lobby, and the two spoke briefly. However, this was just to get the girl's guard down.

As soon as they saw their opportunity to strike, they did, slashing Deliah's throat with the butcher's knife they stole from the kitchen earlier that morning. The slash was enough to severe the esophagus and trachea, preventing her from breathing or screaming. As soon as Deliah's throat had been slit, she began to choke and suffocate to death, which would've only taken 10 to 15 minutes to occur.

To confuse us, however, the blackened cut Deliah's wrists. Some blood got on the blackened's hands as a result of slitting her wrists, shallowly, might I add, and so wiped they the blood off on the garbage can so that there was no way of proving that it was them.

ACT 4:

Afterward, the blackened took the pieces of paper that Deliah collected and began to rip them all in half, sticking the one half of the letter that instructed Deliah to meet them at the movie theatre in her hand, and the top half of the note that read "meet at the park" sticking out of the garbage can.

The blackened exited the movie theatre at 3:00 PM, and by that time Deliah had already died due to asphyxiation. However, unbeknownst to the blackened, Velma witnessed them leave through the back door. Unfortunately for us, however, she never saw their face.

The blackened, knowing they only had 50 minutes to complete their plan, decided to use the shortcuts to their advantage yet again to spread the notes far apart. They put the top half of the "meet at the cafeteria note" on a part of the Monokuma statue in the park, as well as the handle for the knife in the garbage can; and the bottom half of the note that said to meet them in the park on the fountain portion of the statue.

ACT 5:

Once that was finished, they blitzed to the cafeteria, and by now, it was 3:10 PM. They only had two pieces of note to scatter, and a knife blade. The blackened put the bottom half of the note that told Deliah to meet in the cafeteria in the cafeteria's garbage can, walked into the kitchen, put the knife blade into that garbage can, then put the bottom half of the note that told Deliah to go to the movie theatre, promising to share each other's secrets to clear up the bad air around the motive, and threw it on the floor.

After all of this was done, the blackened was about to leave when Ruby walked into the kitchen, catching the blackened off guard, who began to look through the fridge to not seem suspicious, pulling out a bottle of water, saying that they were exhausted. And in truth, they were, especially after all that running around.

The blackened, who thought they got away with their crime, walked to the bonfire with Ruby, arriving at the Bonfire with Natsuki and Monika at 3:30 PM, right when the body discovery announcement was announced across the whole camp.

The only person who could've possibly done this crime, is none other than you, Jaune Arc—The Ultimate Swordsman!

[CASE CLOSED!]

[Play: Despair Syndrome (2)]

"So. Did I get all of that right?" Shigaraki asked as Jaune smirked.

"Yup! Er, well, Almost. But you wouldn't have known anyway. You see, I took my armour off first, then I put my hood up, then I slid the note under Deliah's door. But, outside of that, you're correct! I did it! Hurray, congratulations!" Jaune said, sighing. "Not that it matters anyway. I mean, I already knew you'd figure it out sooner or later, and considering you have a detective with you, and a criminal mastermind that does this crap for a living, I knew I didn't sand a single fucking chance. So I just kept silent, acted like an idiot, and waited till someone would call me out."

"Y-You sick bastard…." Harry cursed. "You killed my friend over a secret… a stupid fucking secret…. And you're not even phased by it!" Harry shouted, tears forming in his eyes.

"Hm? Oh, ha! No! I just… well, when you're a huntsman in training, you tend to see stuff a grown man would puke at seeing. Corpses of little kids that got mauled to death by Grimm. Ransacked villages. The horror stories that come out of survivors' mouths. I'm just desensitized to it, that's all," Jaune explained, crossing his arms.

"Then why her? Why did you kill Deliah?" Velma asked as Jaune shrugged.

"She was the most gullible out of everyone here. I was originally going to target Nikki, but she's smarter than that, so I chose Deliah, slipped the note underneath her door, and then it all went according to plan. I lured her to the theatre, we talked for a few minutes, then I slit her throat, took all the notes, then went on my way to hide them," Jaune said, shaking his head.

"Then why… why are you not showing any remorse for what you did!" Ruby cried, staring at him with a confused expression. "The Jaune I knew would've never done this! The Jaune I knew could've never even so much as thought about doing this!"

"Hm? I was already remorseful, moments after I finished the deed. I realized my fuck up. I killed an innocent person. I broke the huntsman code of conduct. But I couldn't let anyone know my secret. Not by a long shot. If anyone found out, my lively hood would be ruined. Everything I worked for would go down the gutter. If I escaped the Killing Game with my secret being out there, then my family would shun me, my friends would abandon me, and I would be left on the streets for dishonouring my family name. It was bad enough that I stole the family sword and shield, it was worse when I faked my transcripts to get into Beacon Academy. I realized just how many people died because of my actions. Because of what I did, families lost sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers." Jaune explained with a crazed smile on his face as his eyes became twisted.

"When I read that note. I caved into Despair. And then, I remembered. I remembered everything. But… I can't say anything, now can I? If I did, then that would defeat the purpose of this, wouldn't it?" Jaune said, a dead look in his eyes as Ruby recoiled.

"Remembered… remembered what?!" Ruby said, her tone begging as Jaune looked over to Monokuma.

"Hey, Monokuma, can I tell them?" Jaune asked as bear waved his paw dismissively.

"You already said too much, so you might as well!" Monokuma spat as Jaune smiled.

"Alright. Well, you see. Monokuma took all of our memories away the moment we woke up here in the Killing Game." Jaune said, opening his arms as if to show off the entire room. "All of our memories, every single last one of them, up until a certain point. When we all first met for the first time. Oop- I said too much again. Hey, can we just vote now? I don't belong here anymore."

"H-Hey! Wait a second, what do you mean—"

"I said, can we just vote now?" Jaune interrupted Ruby, his expression hollow and his eyes filled with nothing but death and despair.

A button appeared in front of everyone, just like last time. They pressed the button to reveal the panel, just like last time. They all selected who they thought was the culprit, just like last time. The buttons and panels disappeared, and a massive screen appeared in the center, showing the results.

"13 votes for Jaune Arc! Let's see if you are all correct!" Monokuma called out as then, confetti came out of the base of the machine, a pink X on the Ultimate Swordsman's face with the words guilty underneath it.

"Jaune… I… I can't—"

"Oh, it's alright, Ruby! You'll join me sooner or later, you all will! And when that happens, you'll remember everything, just like I did!" Jaune interrupted, hugging himself. "C'mon, Monokuma. Let's get this over and done with, shall we?"

"I couldn't have said it better myself! You all know what happens now! It's time for the main feature! Let's give it everything we got! It's PUNISHMENT TIME!"

[STOP OST]

Monokuma stood up from in his chair, grabbing a rubber mallet out of thin air as a button appeared in front of him. Doing a flip in the air, when Monokuma landed, the mallet hit the button as a small screen on the button displayed a 16-bit pixel sprite of Jaune Arc being dragged away by Monokuma, underneath of which said – Jaune Arc was found guilty, Time For Punishment!

Jaune Arc – Executed – Scorpions Revenge

Jaune stood at his podium, his hands put together in some sort of prayer, his eyes closed. Everyone looked at him, a mixture of disgust, betrayal, and confusion. It was then when a claw came from above and snapped around his neck, jerking him upward, his arms jerked free from their prayer and his eyes wide in alarm.

He was dragged through a vent within the trial room and spat out into a forested area. When he was let go, he shook his head. In front of him was Crocea Mors. He quickly picked it up as the earth began to rumble, and out from the ground came a massive robotic Death Stalker.

The moment the robotic Death Stalker saw him, it swung its tail at him. Jaune jumped back and avoided the tail, but was caught off guard by its pincer, knocking him in the face and sending him flying into a tree.

Jaune coughed up blood after the hit, and as he was dazed, the robotic Death Stalker charged him. He noticed far too late as it closed the distance, prepared its tail to strike, then impaled him through the heart, the beating object on the other end of its tail. Blood gushed out of his mouth and open chest wound as it pulled back. He fell on his face, blood pooling around him as his heart lay on his back, blood gushing from it as it stopped beating.

Everyone who watched it on the T.V. screen looked up in wide-eyed horror as the screen retracted back into the ceiling, all the while Monokuma chuckled to himself silently.

Execution – Complete.

[Play: Boy's life in Despair]

The trial room was silent. No one said a single thing as Monokuma's laugh erupted throughout the room. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You guys saw that, right! That poor bastard didn't even get a chance to move! That's what he gets, though, right? A murderer gets executed for their crimes. It's just how life can be, so none of you can be sad about it, now can you?" Monokuma chuckled as Shigaraki lowered his head.

He did it again. He sent another camper to their death. Another friend was sent away, tossed into the fire like a piece of wood to a bonfire. But what he said before his death. That was what caught his attention.

"Monokuma erased our memories? We've all met before? What does that mean?" Shigaraki muttered, looking up at Monokuma. "Just who are you? How were you able to do this? And what did Jaune remember to turn him into that crazy version of himself?" Shigaraki thought as he looked over to Ruby, who just stared at where the screen was, tears in her eyes.

"J-Jaune…."

"Ruby," Shaggy started, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Let it be. He did what he did, and he got what was coming to him. That wasn't the Jaune you apparently knew. That was someone else who had his appearance, voice, and face. Whatever he remembered made him turn stir crazy. But he wasn't the only one with those memories," Shaggy said, looking at everyone in the room.

"Monokuma removed all of our memories. That means what we just saw from Jaune…. Was who Jaune really was. With our memories, we might just all be lunatics. So, from here on out, let's try to forget anything that guy said, and let's return to the camp. It's 9:30 PM now, we need to turn in for the night anyway. Especially after that," Shaggy continued, looking over to Monokuma. "Can we leave now?" Shaggy spat as Monokuma waved him off.

"Sure thing! Just head through the elevator and get the fuck out of my courtroom!" Monokuma replied as everyone hastily made their way to their salvation.

Still, Shigaraki couldn't shake the feeling that Jaune was hiding something more. But now, they would never know. Not unless someone else remembered their pasts before they came to this Camp.

But that would never happen. Not on his watch.

[Elsewhere – Play: REAL/FICTION]

"The coast is clear. Let's move," All For One said, continuing to float above the group of three beneath him. The city all around them was in complete chaos. Cars on fire, buildings crumbling due to structural damage, bodies lining the streets every few feet.

It was a total nightmare.

"Are you sure? I just saw one of those bird things a moment ago," Fuyumi said as All For One Chuckled.

"Trust me, I know. I can simply blast them away with one of my many Quirks if they come too close. That, and this forcefield masks everything about us to non-humans. So we should be fine," All For One stated as they approached the Shie Hissaikai building.

Standing in the doorway was a red-haired girl wearing a school uniform, and on her back was a spear. "Halt, are you—"

"The people you radioed? Yes, that would be us. My name is All For One, this is Uraraka Ochako, the one next to her is Fuyumi Todoroki, and her brother Natsuo Todoroki," All For One said as the woman nodded.

"My name is Pyrrha Nikos, and I'm the Ultimate Warrior, as I've been dubbed by those things that used to be our friends," Pyrrha stated as All For One shook his head.

"They're simply mind-controlled. We all have hope that they will get back to normal, eventually," All For One stated as Pyrrha looked away.

"I hope you're right. Now c'mon, he wants to speak with you guys, quickly now," Pyrrha said, entering deeper into the building. Once the group made it in, Natsuo closed the door behind him, and All For One deactivated the forcefield.

They followed Pyrrha through a set of double doors, and there, sitting on two sets of couches were three more people. One was a pink-haired man with green specks in his hair, wearing what appeared to be a fishnet top, adorned with tattoos on his arms, purple pants and purple shoes. Another was a small white-haired child with a horn on their forehead wearing a red overall skirt, a white shirt, and black shoes. The last person was a black-haired woman with yellow eyes, a red dress, and black high-heels.

"Everyone, these are the people I radioed. They can help us," Pyrrha said as the little girl ran over to Ochako.

"Uravity!"

"Eri! Oh thank god you're safe!" Ochako wrapped the little girl in a hug as Fuyumi smiled.

"That's so cute!" Fuyumi said as the pink-haired man huffed.

"I suppose I should introduce myself," Man said, looking at Pyrrha, his green eyes narrowing. "Only because I can't use my King Crimson for whatever reason. That's the only reason why I don't punch a hole through your chest," the man said, snarling. "My name is Diavolo… I am the Ultimate Mob Boss. I am also an alternate personality of one Vinegar Doppio, The Ultimate Secretary."

"And my name is Cinder Fall, the Ultimate Arsonist, apparently," Cinder said, crossing her arms. "So, Diavolo, how can you possibly help us?" The woman asked as the man scoffed.

"They don't call the Ultimate Mob Boss for nothing. I have a few connections that can get us out of this mess and into a safer place where we can wait out this tragedy in a bunker," Diavolo said, leaning back into the couch.

"Wait a minute, how though?" Ochako asked as Diavolo glanced at her.

"Once I get my hands on my cellphone, I'll be able to call for backup. There's one more person who's usually with us, but he's out searching for it," Diavolo said as Natsuo raised an eyebrow.

"And who would that be?" The man asked as Diavolo shook his head.

"He'll introduce himself once he gets back. For now, let's wait for him to return," Diavolo said as Pyrrha tensed up, the sound of echoing hard footsteps rumbling through the room.

"W-What was that…?" Eri mumbled as Diavolo smiled.

"Ah, that would be him!" Diavolo stood up, watching as a figure marched through the door, holding a green cellphone in his hand. The figure was wearing a purple uniform with a badge on his right breast pocket. His hair was black and messy, and his face was sunken in. His pants were ripped at the knees and ankles, and his eyes were sunken in and a deep purple. On top of his head were a pair of golden rabbit ears, and his jaw was mechanical. His right arm was made out of an endoskeleton arm, as were his left leg and his feet.

"These the new guys?" The man asked, his voice raspy and mechanical in a twisted sort of way.

"W-What the hell happened to you?!" Natsuo near screamed as the "man" rolled his eyes.

"Those monsters got their hands on me. Er… well, not those animal things, but the guys who caused it. My friends got turned into them, and they went to town on me, replacing parts of my body with mechanical shit from a suit I used to wear, er, was imprisoned in. Name's Roger Stanford, the Ultimate Serial Killer."

"Y-You're a serial killer!" Fuyumi squealed as Roger shook his head.

"That's the title those asshats gave me. I'm not a serial killer anymore. I haven't been for 30 years. But that hardly matters at the moment. Diavolo, I got yer phone or whatever," Roger said, tossing it towards the pink-haired man as he caught it.

"Good, Now all I need to do is call my allies back in Italy, and they can get us out of here," Diavolo stated as he dialled the number. However, just before he could speak, the phone went to an answering machine.

"You've reached Bruno Bucciarati. I'm sorry to say that I cannot answer your call, as I am either busy on a mission, or I am simply not able to talk. Please leave a message after the tone, arrivederci."

"Bruno, pick up, now. I need your help asap. Please, I know I wrong you in the past, but this is beyond that. Please, pick up the phone," Diavolo said, hanging up as he slumped in his chair. "Shit. He's not answering… we might be stuck here for a little bit longer than I wanted…."

"This is not good…." Uraraka thought, looking down at Eri. "We need to get out of here, fast, otherwise we'll be sitting ducks…!"

And then as if she predicted it, a Beowulf marched into the building, glaring at all of them.

"I jinxed it!"

However, just before the Beowulf could attack, its head was blown off by the sound of a shotgun. The beast dropped dead as a brown-haired, lanky man with pale skin, wearing a vest, a green shirt with a tree logo and brown cargo shorts stood there, shakily holding a shotgun as a blond-haired, busty woman with lilac eyes, a yellow shirt and brown yet, black pants and a robot arm held his wrists.

"See? That wasn't so hard, now was it?" The woman said as the man shook his head.

"O-Oh my god… I think I'm going to faint…."
