"Yup yup!" Monokuma said. "Once again you are all right! The killer of Kaori Minami is in fact Takashi Okazaki!"
"It's total bullshit!" Seungyeon said. "You just rigged this whole thing vote to make sure Takashi dies!"
"Might I add that you kids voted for him?" Monokuma held a claw.
"It's okay, really." Takashi said, a small smile on his face. "Don't have any regrets, guys. I have lived a fullfilling life, no matter how short it was."
"T-Takashi!" Eunji said.
"Eunji.. thank you for being the greatest first friend I could have ever asked for." Takshi said. "You have made the last month of my life probably the happiest it could be."
Tears were starting to form in the corner of Eunji's eyes.
"T-Takashi... please..." Eunji replied.
"Stay strong." Takashi said. "Just like what Ayaka said... this killing game will come to an end. And I trust the responbility of ending it on your very capable ends. You have what it takes to save the others. Don't let my sacrifice go in vain."
"I-I won't let it go in vain!" Eunji said.
"Takashi... I'm so sorry our plan didn't work out." Miyumi sighed, taking Eunji's hands into her own.
"It was a good bet." Takashi said.
"Miyumi... you were really willing to let yourself die?" Eunji said. "I-I can't lose you.."
"I know..." Miyumi said. "And I can't lose you either... but... I thought this would be our ticket out of here... and I figured... losing my life would be worth saving yours..."
"M-Miyumi!" Eunji said, the tears falling from her eyes. "I don't think I'd be able to live without you."
"Haha... you've only met me just last month." The detective jokes. "Don't worry... I'll be with you, and I promise I won't die on you."
"I love you." Eunji said.
"I love you too." Miyumi replied.
"So..." Yeeun said. "I usually look down upon our murderers like Reika, Ichiro, and Kazuhiko... but Takashi... you and Kaori both had the courage to try to do what was right..."
"Yeah... and it was a good effort." Seungyeon replied.
"Just know... we still respect you. And you are still our friend." Youngjae said.
"Haha... thanks, guys." Takashi said.
"And don't worry.. leave it to us." Izumi said. "We'll end this killing game, for you, and for everyone that died."
"Yes." Naomori said. "This killing game will end!"
"Ugh, enough slobbering!" Monokuma remarked. "I've been itching to execute someone after the pathetic excuse of last trial!"
"Oh, god..." Seungyeon said.
"Now then, I've prepared a VERY special punishment for Takashi Okazaki, the Ultimate Spy!" Monokuma said.
"Not so fast." Takashi said.
"Huh?!" Monokuma said.
"This is my last words to you, Monokuma!" Takashi said, taking something out from his teeth!?
"Holy crap-" Eunji said.
"Hey, if I'm gonna die, I'll go out on my own accord!" Then... he swallows the object..
And Takashi collapsed to the ground.
"Takashi!" Eunji said.
The classmates ran to him, and the boy very weakly looked up to Eunji.
"Go... save everyone..." Takashi said, closing his eyes...
And Takashi took his last breath.
"Grrrr!" Monokuma said. "What a load of horsecrap!"
Then... Monokuma disappeared.
And so... that was the end of it...
Takashi... decided to go out his own way...
Hah...
Instead of letting Monokuma execute him..
He committed suicide, just to rub it in Monokuma's face...
"Takashi..." Miyumi said, her voice breaking.
"Fuck..." Seungyeon replied, wiping her eyes.
"So... that's it... huh...?" Yeeun said.
"No..." Izumi replied.
"Izumi...?" Yeeun asked.
"It's not over." The hacker said, looking up. "YOU HEAR ME, MONOKUMA?! IT ISN'T OVER!"
Then.. she left the class trial room.
"What the...?" Eunji said.
"What do we do...?" Naomori asked. "Do we just... leave Takashi here?"
"I guess we do..." Miyumi said. "Just... give us a moment."
And so... we all stood there in silence.
Mourning the loss of our dear friends...
Kaori...
Takashi...
Your deaths will not go in vain!
We will put an end to this killing game!
My word on it!
…
It was the next day.
The rest of us, save for Yeeun and Izumi, were in the dining hall.
"It... sure feels empty here." Youngjae said.
"Yeah... tell me about it." Naomori said. "I miss my friends..."
"Don't worry." Miyumi said. "Their deaths will not go in vain."
"Really?" Seungyeon asked. "I want to believe in that... but..."
"We will be sure of it!" Eunji said. "We're so close! We can end this killing game, once and for all!"
The mood was a bit somber.
But to be fair two of our friends just died yesterday so of course...
Then...
I got a text from my Monopad.
...
Kim Yeeun: Hey can you bring everyone over to the lab building? Izumi just discovered something else.
Park Eunji: Sure!
…
"Hey, Izumi's got an announcement." Eunji said.
"Another one?" Naomori said.
"I hope it's something good..." Seungyeon sighed.
And the 5 of us got up, and made our way outside.
…
Out in the courtyard...
We were greeted by something...
Something interesting...
"What the hell is this?" Eunji said, seeing a big mecha standing in the courtyard.
And then... Monokuma appeared.
"Well, you see, kids!" Monokuma said. "After the chaos of the last trial, we have decided to be more strict with upkeeping our regulations! Any more violations, and this badboy will execute you right then and there!"
"What the fuck?" Seungyeon said.
"Hmm..." Monokuma said. "I kinda wanna showcase it's power... Seungyeon... I take back our exemption!"
"You can't do that!" Seungyeon replied.
"Oh, but I surely can!" The bear remarked. "I haven't gotten to execute someone in days! I'm itching to kill! Now then, it's-"
And suddenly...
Monokuma's lights go off, and the mecha falls limp.
And what we see from the front of the lab building...
is Izumi, holding... a phone?
"There's something you didn't account for, Ultimate Despair." Izumi said. "I, Izumi Yamamoto, The Ultimate Hacker, has installed a backdoor into your systems. And now, with all the power imported into this phone... I control the facility. I determine what will happen."
"I-Izumi!" Eunji said.
"And what's going to happen..." Izumi said. "Is that this killing game will end!"
