I woke up the next day to find a letter of some sort. I picked it up and began to read what was written.
"To the eight students who receive this message, please meet us in the gym after you've had breakfast. The murder motive for this trial is ready to go! We'll explain everything once all of you show up. From, Monosuke, Monodam, and Monophanie." It read.
Did seven of the others receive this too? I thought to myself.
Regardless of the message, breakfast went by pretty normally with the exception of a discussion about some videos Kaito, Ryoma, Tenko, and Keebo received. I went to the gym to see Miyuji, Tokuko, Kaede, Gonta, Kiyo, Angie, and Kokichi already there.
"Yo, Sharla! You got the Monokubs' weird message too?" Miyuji asked.
"And I assume you guys got the same?" I snarked.
"What the bloody hell do those bears think they can achieve by havin' us gather here?" Tokuko said in irritation. "It's already bad enough that they're keepin' us here at ransom, so how is a fuckin' motive goin' to make us feel better?!"
"Maybe we'll finally find out who the rest of the traitors are?" Kaede suggested.
"Indeed, indeed~! Atua says if not everyone is here then the motive must be done!" Angie agreed.
"Letter did mention motive was ready." Gonta pointed out.
"Right. You guys already know that me and Tsumugi are two of them, then the Monokubs probably want reveal who the other three are. And it looks like they're all with us." Kiyo theorized.
"Or maybe they aren't, who knows~?" Kokichi muttered.
"That bloody doesn't-" Tokuko's yelling was cut off by a familiar chorus of 'Rise and Shine, Ursine', minus the loudest and deepest voice in their tune. The set of three cubs now stood in the middle of the room but before each of them bounced off Gonta, Angie, and Kokichi's heads which me and Miyuji found hilarious.
Still, why did they bounce of their heads anyway? They've never did that before. I thought to myself.
"All right, everyone's here so listen up!" Monosuke yelled. "Everythin' is finally ready! So we're gonna tell youse who the other three traitors are while those who aren't here are distracted!"
"THE-OTHER-THREE-TRAITORS-ARE..." Monodam began.
"Are who?!" Miyuji asked in a panic. "TELL US!"
"They are Gonta Gokuhara, Angie Yonaga, and Kokichi Oma!" Monophanie finished for her robotic brother.
"WHAT?!" Miyuji, Tokuko, and Kaede shouted at the same time.
"Oh dear... It looks like my fears have been confirmed." Kiyo muttered. "By revealing the rest of the disciples still alive in this game, they're using the sting of betrayal as the motive to get us to commit murder."
"Damn it!" I shouted as the memories completely returned to me. "I knew they would resort to this but like the way this happened? And that includes who we thought Gonta, Angie, and Kokichi were!"
"Who we thought they were?" Kaede repeated. "So the reason why the Monokubs bounced off their heads is to destroy the Flashback Lights' effects!"
"But that means those three could possibly bloody kill all of us in cold blood right here and now!" Tokuko exclaimed.
"Agh! Let's get out of here before that happens! The Monokubs are already out of here!" Miyuji advised as she ran to the doors but noticed that she couldn't open them. "What the hell?! It's locked?! Since when could those bears do that?!"
When the vocalist turned around, I saw Kiyo place a sword in Gonta's hands. Him, Angie, and Kokichi all looked at their fellow disciple with dark expressions.
"Kill them!" He commanded as he pointed at the four of us.
Gonta charged at me first while Kaede and Tokuko got into a struggle with Angie and Kokichi respectively. I leapt out of the way of Gonta's sword as he slashed down.
None of them are holding back now! I thought as I landed onto the floor. Regardless, I shouldn't use that power here yet.
The Ultimate Disciple slashed down at me but before he could hit me Miyuji managed to inflict Topple onto Kiyo before running in front me and stopped Gonta's sword mid-swing with her bare hands. She started to bleed a bit because of the sharpness of the blade.
"Why are you in my way?!" Gonta asked. "Stand back and let me kill her!"
The vocalist's eyes widened upon hearing him speak in perfect English before calming herself down. "Never! I won't let you harm her!"
"Miyuji, you need to get out of here!" I yelled. "Gonta's the Ultimate Disciple. He can kill you!"
"So what? I care for him regardless of his role in the Killing Titan War!" She screamed. "If I do end up becoming one of the victims of Zanza's Disciples, then I might as well go out with a big bang!"
The most powerful of the god of the Bionis' disciples scoffed. "You CARE for me? This isn't the first time someone had fallen for me."
I remember what he was talking about. His previous love interest, Bea Ikusawa, who was killed during the attack on Colony 6 by Murasaki. Even then Miyuji kept pushing Gonta's sword back as I whispered this information to her.
"This girl, Bea, you miss her and if she was still alive..." The vocalist said. "She would be proud when I say this. I-I love you."
Those last three words stopped all of the Disciples in their tracks, causing Kaede and Tokuko to become able to knock Angie and Kokichi down with Kiyo. Gonta took a few steps back as he blushed and dropped the sword he was holding.
"W-What..? Are you screwing with me?" He asked in confusion.
"No. I mean it. Now that I know exactly what happened from Sharla, I'll love you no matter who or what you are!" Miyuji exclaimed.
She gently pulled him down to her eye level and pressed her black lipstick covered lips against Gonta's bare ones. He soon got over his shock and returned the kiss.
Once they parted, the doors to the hallway were apparently unlocked as Angie and Kokichi were able to leave without saying a word. The rest of us decided to do the same.
Despite the lighthearted outcome and Miyuji's love confession, I couldn't help but think to myself.
All of the traitors are free from the effects of the Flashback Lights.
And the Monokubs are using both the sting of betrayal and the videos Kaito, Ryoma, Tenko, and Keebo received to get us to kill each other.
But why..?
Why is the mastermind making us go through this much despair?
I can't let them win... I can not!
I will stop them and end this killing game!
