Steffi appeared, as she was in the black background, "My goodness! Four seasons, and already it's our 50th Episode! Well, I'm not sure how many chapters it's been, but be that as it may, AMAZING! On behalf of Steffi's, congratulations, The Gang IN-ACTION!"

She then stated, as she was walking to the picture of Otome Saotome, and explained, "Let's recap…
The Gang's Aces arrive in F City, meeting Stand Users of horrific proportions. One-by-one, they all were fallen, though some survived to align with our heroes and Chazz Princeton. But tragedy befell our heroes… Matsuya, Watanabe, Sumiyoshi, and Amakase all died in the hands of this girl… Otome Saotome… The Sketch Artist Killer. This was only a former picture of her, as she was last seen, wearing the identity of a girl that she killed in cold blood…"

She explained, as the photo vanished, "But now, some say that Otome Saotome has vanished from existence… but she's hiding in F City, wanting ONE GOAL: to live peacefully, in tranquility. BUT!"

She called to the 4th wall, "There's MORE to Otome Saotome, than just a small girl with a Stand with TNT! SPOILER ALERT: The results may shock you in despair! Eh? Eh?"

She ducked down, "And now… The Gang IN-ACTION! Episode 50! Uh… can't say which chapter is this now. I lost count. You'll figure it out."

NOTE: It's been 159 chapters of this entire story.

She returned and added, "OH! One more thing… Episode 51 will be the final episode of Act IV. As this episode is ALSO FIVE chapters long… likewise its finale. Stay tuned~!"

Somewhere in F City, a boy in light blue hair was studying in his desk, writing. He then thought, "Strange… All these tips in assassination were tricky… But I never guessed that they are hard, looking back."

He narrated, as he was studying, "My name is Nagisa Shiota. I'm a graduate of Kunigigaoka Junior High. Since I graduated, life's never been better, since E-Class is nothing more than a memory, proving every hazer, bully, and teacher wrong. Of course, times have changed, since I lived with my friend…
The fact that I learned a lot about assassination and combat… it made me more courageous in front of people that treat the misfits like they were a bunch of losers. Then, we met Kuro-sensei…"

He viewed a photo of his class, with a huge yellow squid-like teacher in a professor's outfit, and continued, "It's not that I'm mad at life. My friend and I are together as a couple… though, we do not love each other. Kaede and I are simply good friends, despite our differences. She might not be like me, as a pure-blooded tactician, but even so, she's a hard worker like me. Then again… We got together, like boyfriend and girlfriend, without ever knowing love."

A girl in long green hair, done in braids, appeared, as she called, "I'm home!"

He asked, "Kaede?"

Kaede called, as she said, "I'm sorry… I had a run-in with an appointment. Don't worry, I'm merely studying to become a teacher in a community college."

The boy asked, "College?! Wait… Kaede, what are you doing?"

She explained, "Well, I'm just running late on errands and such. Where's dinner?"

He said, "Over there. I didn't have time to cook. Sorry, I was too busy. Help yourself."

She approached the table, as her face wasn't shown. She asked, "What is this?"

She pulled the sheet off, seeing a bowl of instant ramen. She then said, "Oh, is that it?"

He said, "Well, you've been cold at me, since yesterday. If you want to eat alone, I don't mind it…"

He thought, "In the past, Kaede's had a sort of dark past, but I chose to ignore it. On certain days, she's usually cold and despises me… but she seems in a good mood."

Kaede smiled, "Not at all… YOU can have this shit!"

She tossed the bowl to the trash and said, "Like I'd buy and eat this instant crap?! Shucks, I can whip us something! You'll see~!"

She turned on the radio, as he asked, "Eh? She turned down instant ramen?!"

She went to the kitchen and started to cook up some food. The boy then asked, "Huh? That's strange… She usually says that she doesn't mind dining alone, since we're roommates. But… Since when did she cook? Or can she? Well, let's hope she's good at making food than busting up thugs."

He said to her, "You know, I heard that three thugs were killed in an alleyway, the other day."

"No kidding?"

"Yeah… Except… There were no traces of clues, anywhere. All they found was the scent of ashes…"

Kaede then whispered, "You don't say…" She continued cooking, as the boy whispered, "Just who is she? Whatever happened to the Kaede I know of?"

Assassination Classroom's Nagisa Shiota and Kaede Kayano

Episode 50 – Chapter 1: The Sketch Artist Killer (Part 2)
In the Belly of the Sick Monster!
The Lair of Otome Saotome!

The Gang failed in their capture of Otome Saotome, the Sketch Artist Killer. However, the war against Saotome lost Misaki, Watanabe, Sumiyoshi, and Minatsu, in the process. The Gang's Aces, Chazz, Tsukasa, and Kagami had no choice. They plan to invade Otome's villa, for more answers.

Steven narrated, as they arrived, "Fifteen minutes from F City, by car, we found her house, near the resort area full of villas. We arrived at the home of Otome Saotome, before she changed her name and identity. As of now, she has a new face, household register, job, and a completely new place to call home. I doubt we may ever come back here, nor that she ever goes back to her old villa, but for now, my crew, Princeton, and the Hiiragis are searching the place. Since she assumes a brand-new identity, the only place we'll find any clues or leads about Saotome is inside her former home. When we do, we'll find Otome Saotome, who or whatever she is disguised as."

Asahi found a photo album, as she said, "This must be it… Huh… Otome Saotome… Born in Japan, only 19 years of age, and was once a member of SOX… Huh… That name… bad memories."

Chazz asked, "What do you mean?"

Peter said, "Ayame Kajou was leader of the SOX. She died of gunshot, two years ago, after we stopped Anna Nishikinomiya's Decency Nation Capital. She was considered an ally to us, until her tragic death."

Farra added, "Of course, we trusted her, but at first, we didn't. She was a double agent for a secret ero-terrorist order."

Asahi viewed a picture of Otome's parents, a man in black hair, and a woman in light brown hair. Otome's father, Okage Saotome, died in 2009, years after Otome turned nine, at the age of 45. Her mother, Hasuko, died shortly after, four years later, due to an illness. Saotome's murderous spree began in stealth. She stated that she hid this for months… which, in reality, the Sketch Artist Killer started her life of murder at the age of 14."

NOTE: I saw Shimoneta, but knew very little about Otome's family. So I decided to create the lineage of Otome Saotome.

Asahi continued, "In 2011, she studied in Tokioka High School, and even went to a Local Art College, where she learned her creative abilities in art. In 2013, she'd denounce her talents, in order to side with SOX, and became a lewd artist. By four months later, Saotome would graduate from Tokioka, and went abroad in Japan, learning new ways and art styles. She ended up in F City, as she was short on supplies, and was hired on the spot, in 2016."

She growled, "Her only witnesses and contacts were Ayame Kajou (deceased), Tanukichi Okuma, Raiki Gouriki (deceased), and Kosuri Onigashira (deceased); her unrequited lover was Anna Nishikinomiya (deceased); and it also says that she had a best friend, outside Tokioka, name unknown. NO previous criminal records, NO surgeries, NO close friends, NO NOTHING!"

She slammed the photo album down and shouted, "It doesn't make any sense! We're able to find, at least, evidence of the sorts, like dental records or DNA; namely visible scars! And yet, she has none at all!"

Chazz huffed, "In short, we hit a dead end."

Farra replied, "So, it's impossible to find Saotome, despite that she's clean?"

Steven stated, "It may be so, but look at her accolades."

He pointed at a trophy room, full of her art trophies, including four plaques she destroyed, ripped in half. He stated, "Obviously, her last four were the straw that broke the serial killer's back."

Peter said, "This is a girl who stands out well with people she cared for. However, keeping a straight face, while having a happy life, especially with SOX, is very hard."

Steven replied, "She keeps her strengths and weaknesses hidden, at all cost. That's why she is a murderer."

Asahi gasped, "That means…"

Farra responded, "She's kept her intellect and talents hidden, deliberately! She did all that to stay out of trouble, through deception…"

Peter added, "I was sure we can find something that learns more about Otome…"

Asahi asked, "Like some sort of hobby or something?"

Chazz looked in the drawers, as he asked, "Hobby, you say? What about these? I think I remember something… You say that Saotome's calling card is hentai pics. That's how she struck her victims. But there were NO hentai sketches, when she killed Misaki or Minatsu."

He pulled out the drawer, as there were jars of pencils. They were stained with white stuff, as Chazz asked, "Eh? Pencils? It's obvious that they are her pencil supplies. But what's with the numbers… 2013. Must be the year."

Asahi examined the jars, and said, "2013… There's like seven jars. And full of…" She gasped, as she looked at the bottom of a jar that says 2014. Chazz pulled one out and asked, "Ew… It's sticky. What is this? Glue? No… Maybe syrup."

Asahi blushed, as she slowly put the jar down and murmured "…huh-mum…"

He asked, "What's that, babe?"

Asahi turned to the others, and then turned to him. She then gulped, as Kagami looked at the substance. She gagged, "AGH! What the fuck?!"

Tsukasa asked, "What is it, Sis?"

Kagami explained, as Asahi said, at the same time, "It's cum."

Tsukasa was crushed, as Chazz shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Don't tell me! Did she masturbate with these?!"

Steven said, "Calm down. It's not cum. Judging by the white slimy substance, it's actually saliva. Says here that she draws lewd photos of sexual poses, using her mouth; even her teeth marks are visible. It's an uncanny ability, when it comes to porn. From what I recall with the DNC, the PMs they wore detect their bodily functions from doing or performing anything lewd. It's bizarre why Saotome would draw by mouth, without getting caught."

Asahi sighed in relief, "Thank goodness… Why is it so white?"

Chazz gulped, "Are you kidding me? She has been drawing by mouth, since 2013?! And that's six years of YUCK!"

Steven added, "And way worse. Steven Cooke believes that she keeps a collection of her hentai photos. In fact…"

He held up a sketchbook, full of Otome's archived fan art, with each girl doing sexual poses and actions. He concluded, "…it's the killer's main calling card. Sketch Artist Killer is known to leave lewd photos, after a killing. There's no doubt that it's her. But 2013 wasn't the same year that our ghost girl was murdered."

He turned each page, as he added, "This was started in 2013… with each date on the corner of each sketch. It was where she couldn't repress her murderous urges, any longer. Sexual urges, yes, but that's different."

Chazz gasped, "What?! And each pose represents her sexual accomplishment?!"

Asahi said, "No… Her photos, I believe, represent the murders she committed, and the victims she slaughtered. Looks like we found the evidence of the Sketch Artist Killer's main plan: to live in a boring world, without being noticed. Otome Saotome is the Sketch Artist Killer, and not without reason."

Peter looked at the page, and then said, "This data is divination. Jewish Merchants used to observe the movement of sunspots to determine how well their businesses would do. Case in point, these porn sketches show what Saotome was doing, during each date. …and they are her mental preparations to kill."

He showed it to Chazz, and added, "It's all in the pose… and all by the information. That's how she decides what's best to kill."

Chazz cried, "AGH! Is that… 2019?! And since June of this year, she's made 17 sketches in half of this year alone! She's insane!"

Peter said, "The only problem is… this won't track her, at all. According to Sakura Minamoto, she was killed eleven years ago. That means Saotome would be 8, in order to kill her. Something's not right. We need more evidence, in order to locate-."

A camera snapped, as they saw an instant print out made. It showed a sexy girl in pink hair, done in pigtails, wearing a revealing black dress, and a cute-looking face. Asahi asked, "Whoa… What is that?"

Chazz said, "Hmm… This must be an ink printer. Hold on! Otome Saotome doesn't live here anymore!"

He, Asahi, and Peter prepared, as Peter called, "Stay on your guard! Otome may have a partner in hand…"

Asahi stated, "I don't think she does have a partner. If Otome Saotome had a partner, chances are he or she may rat her out. She wouldn't consider it…"

Chazz said, "That makes sense."

Asahi viewed the picture and gasped, "Who is that?"

She gasped, as she recognized the pose, as the girl in the paper posed with her hand covering her face, showing only one eye. She cringed, "That pose… It can't be…"

Chazz asked, "Alright… Just who the hell is this?"

Peter looked at the paper and gasped, "No… It's…"

He explained, "She's a spirit… a ghost… That girl is responsible for the deaths in Hope's Peak, which remains unsolved and unmentioned, to this day…"

Chazz asked him, "Wait, you know who this girl is? Don't tell me that she's haunting Saotome's flat?! Where did she go?"

Asahi held him and sobbed, "Ghosts… … …Please no…"

Peter explained, "Similar to how Sakura Minamoto is, as she is a ghost, this woman also seems to have not passed on to another life. Of course, she would remain here as another person's soul energy. Look at this expression… She seems calm, but her aura is black."

Chazz said, "By the looks of her, she wants us to get the hell out of here."

The phone rang wildly, as Peter said, "Stay back!"

Asahi cried, "HOW?! You act as if you'd known this girl!"

Chazz said, "You think I'm scared of this ghost bullshit? You're not spooking us to leave this house!"

Asahi shouted, "WELL, I AM! I WANT TO LEAVE, NOW! SAOTOME'S HAUNTED BY A GHOST! I HATE GHOSTS!"

A voice called, in a wild tone, "HEY, CUNTBAG! ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE!"

WHAM!
Asahi was struck by a wayward receiver, as it flew off the phone. She called out, from the destroyed receiver, "Did you honestly think I would let you leave, because I'm a BOOOOO Ghost? FUCK YOU! It's the opposite!"

Asahi shivered, "You mean… You want us to stay?"

The voice then spoke in a regal tone, "Why, my dears, you act as if you wanted to stay for tea. Feel free to kneel towards me, at any time."

Chazz roared, "NO ONE hurts my girlfriend! Who the hell are you?"

The regal voice changed into a sad voice, "Oh, no… Just don't leave me all alone. I have no intentions… It's lonely with Otome… She was my bestie…"

She changed to a wild tone, "YEAH, and you figured out her cold-blooded murder plan! It's a shame! She's was going to beat the record!"

And then in a serious tone, "Judging by her murderous actions, she's almost to beating the 15-year career of the late Yoshikage Kira, who was mercifully assaulted by Josuke Higashikata. By my records, you have grown fond of him, seeing he was a hero."

And then in a regal tone, "You bastard! NO! You commoner bastard! You care for that mouth breather?!"

She then spoke in a hissing tone, "You are useless… You're not like him, at all… It's a shame to understand fully on how you're feeling, for some Stand User."

Asahi asked, "She's… She's gone psycho!"

Peter called, "JUNKO! Enough games!"

Chazz asked, "Who? Who's Junko?"

Tsukasa called, "HEY! What's going on?"

Farra asked, "What's all the racket?!"

Kagami yelled, "Don't tell me you found more lewd clues!"

Chazz yelled, "WHERE ARE YOU HIDING, ASSHOLE?! SHOW YOUR BITCH-ASS GHOST SELF, RIGHT NOW, YOU SLUTTY PHANTASM!"

Peter viewed the paper, as Tsukasa trembled, "Ghost?"

The others were shocked, as Peter said, "Junko Enoshima… She was an AI in Hope's Peak, only to be destroyed and killed, after her plans went awry. Chazz, Asahi, save your breath on looking for her… She's been in this room, the entire time. See?"

Junko's photo suddenly changed to her, posing like a rock star, and lashing her tongue out, while laughing demonically. "DING DING DING! Fatass got the right answer! That's me, the lovely and multi-talented Junko Enoshima, back from the dead (albeit I am dead) and haunting you reckless losers, preventing you from hurting my darling Saotome!"

Chazz gasped, "WHAT?!"

Asahi cried, "THE PHOTO!"

Peter asked, "That's her home. She's already dead… but she inhabits inside this paper. She probably moved the receiver to her, after striking Asahi."

Asahi gasped, "Then that means…"

Junko, in her serious tone, said, "That is correct. You all shall face death. I have cared for Otome Saotome, as she was my star pupil, without a care in her spine. A perfect protégé for the Enoshima line."

She then kneeled up, in specter form, and posed like MIO, holding her hand to her face, and stated, "Now none of that matters… I will make you wish that you harm Otome, in any way. This girl was the NEW Junko Enoshima, i.e. me! You thought it was Saotome that is the Sketch Artist Killer…"
She posed and her face went demonic, and roared, "BUT IT WAS I, JUNKO! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Tsukasa called, "Princeton, use Ojama Star to beat up that ghost! Sendo-senpai did that with Heaven's Gate, on Sakura Minamoto, a while back, only to read her memories!"

Chazz roared, as he used Ojama Star to rip the paper up, "GOOD TO KNOW! HOW ABOUT THIS?"

Junko laughed evilly, as the room was being torn apart. He gasped, "WHAT?"

Peter cried, "NO! We're face-to-face with this realm of insanity!"

Chazz fixed the paper, as Asahi cried, "No way… So, we're trapped here?"

Junko posed in a teacher's stance, holding a staff, and wearing glasses, as she said, "Impressive. You have the same powers as does Saotome. And from what I gather, all of you can see it. It's a weird phenomenon for people to see me…"

She spoke, posing in a saddened tone, "…what a disappointing move. How did this happen?"

Chazz roared, and called to the others, "HEY! Any of you losers wanna volunteer to stop this ghost bitch?"

Farra grinned, "I'M ON IT!" She ran and shouted, "ENOUGH OF THIS! YOU BITCH!"

She ran towards the entrance, but in an instant…
CRASH!
And then crashed onto the screen windows. They fell, as Farra was hurt. She gasped, "What the wha? How did I get all the way over here?"

Tsukasa reached into the entrance, but her hands disappeared to the exit on the other side. She cried out, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? MY HANDS CANNOT REACH THE NEXT ROOM!"

Junko said, in her calm tone, "Figured it out? THIS is the edge of the print!"

Chazz slammed himself into the exit, but could not break free. Asahi cried, "WHAT?! An invisible wall? We're trapped here!"

Chazz used Ojama Star to break the barrier, but to no avail. "WHAT? I can't even break it?! SHIT!"

Junko explained, in her smart form, "Let me explain fully on this matter. I am the ghost that harbors and travels into pictures. Normally, phantasms travel in objects, but I'm special."

She reverted to her Queen Form, and boasted, "NOW I can travel in any photo or picture that I come across!"

She was weepy, as she sniffled, "And the camera I harbored can trap innocent souls from inside the picture."

She went cute, as she added, "Remember that flash in the camera? Well, it's now a part of the printout."

She went smart and said, "In short, when you're a part of the photo, and you try to damage it, your soul will be dealt with damage, twice as worse. And even if you tear this photo apart, granted this world around you will collapse, with all of you in it."

She went rocker and lashed out, "And when I kill these three, the rest are next! Seven of you enter my student's hallowed villa, and you'll perish like the rats that you are!"

Asahi viewed a faint projection of herself, Peter, & Chazz, and gasped, "She's right… Look!"

Chazz gasped, "That bitch! She used an instant camera, attached to a printer, and created a huge photo, trapping us in her realm!"

Junko smiled, "Bingo."

Farra asked, "Wait a minute! She's inside the photo? I see it clearly!"

Junko said, in her calm voice, "You're not as dumb as you look, my friend. It's clear that you will be next, after him."

Junko, as a rocker, held a knife, and laughed, "DIE!"

Tsukasa cried, "Agent Sakurai! Princeton! Agent Giese!"

Peter walked off, as Asahi cried, "DO SOMETHING! PETER, DON'T RUN AWAY!"

Peter said, "No. I give up…"

He took the printout, as Junko, in her smart form, said, "A wise decision. I never expected you to be this bold, only to admit defeat already."

She added, as a cutesy girl, "That means that one of your friends will be bloodied, right away!"

Chazz yelled, "YOU BITCH! CUT IT OUT ALREADY! HEY, FATASS! DO SOMETHING WITH THAT INVINCIBLE DARKNESS DEVIL!"

Farra cried, "Peter, you can't give up!"

Steven called, "Big Guy, if you die, how will Mizuki react, upon your passing?"

Peter replied, "Guys, if I cannot stop this girl, without damaging any of us, it appears that we're out of options. Even if we use time stop, it's no use."

Chazz roared, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?"

Chazz is decapitated in the picture, as Asahi cried, "NO!"

Junko hissed, "HAH! Your head popped off! Now, for the real thing!"

The knife appeared by itself, as Chazz complained, "Great! She's got a knife!"

Junko laughed, "Your heads got good spin! Let's see it for real! HIYAH!" She lunged the knife at Chazz, first.

Chazz tried to deflect it, but Peter held the photo and said, "Junko Enoshima… What part of you lose do you not understand?"

Junko calmly said, "Really? I don't even know you, and you're going to let Chazz Princeton die. Oh well…"

She added, as she was cutesy, "Don't sweat it… Asahi Sakurai's next, and then you!"

Peter held up the photo and said, "Really? Then I have a second thought…"

Junko stated, as a smart girl, "Clearly you're out of options. We all know that the winner is yours truly. You gave up, remember?"

He held the photo in the camera and said, "I did… I gave up trying to beat your bitchy ass."

FLASH!
The camera flashed, as Junko was shot on the paper, and vanished into nothing. She gasped, "WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Peter said, "You said that you can control dimensions from the photo, right? Well, unfortunately, when you get a sole picture of yourself in another photo, you're trapped in that dimension."

The photo print out, as Junko was all alone, completely shocked. She cried out, in her rocker form, "WHAT THE FUCK?"

The knife fell, as Chazz was relieved. Peter smirked, "Now, you cannot stop us."

She said in a weepy voice, "He figured me out, and trapped me inside another lone printed photo!"

She said as she was calm, "Clever move. Bravo."

Asahi sighed, "Well, at least he's living again."

Peter glared at Chazz, "Well?"

"Well, what?" He asked.

Peter replied, "Say something witty as a victory line, like you always do…"

Chazz called, "Uh… Okay… Yo-, You're not so great, you psycho bitch!"

Kagami huffed, "Meh, that's not good enough."

Junko roared, "DAMN YOU!" and flew off the photo. She cried out, in her rocker form, "You think that trapping me in the photo will work?"

She said in her smart form, "I'll admit that you had this experience before, fighting people like me."

She said, calmly, "Just so you know, I would never face rowdy people like you…"

She then went Queen, and shouted, "But you overlooked one thing! One press on the camera and-!"

SNATCH!
Asahi grabbed the photo and shouted, "NO, YOU DON'T, YOU SPLIT PERSONALITY!"

Chazz called, "She's reaching for the camera! Remember, this skank's a ghost; she can probably get out of the photo!"

Junko extended her hand and cried, "TOO LATE, YOU LOSERS!"

SMASH!
"ORA!"
Peter used Darkness Devil to destroy the camera and printer. He took the photo, as she cried, "NO! WHAT DID YOU DO? NOW I CANNOT STOP YOU FROM HURTING OTOME!"

Peter held the photo and said, "I'm about done with all of you. You have worse D.I.D. than Farra's."

Farra barked, "HEY!"

He added, as he folded the photo, "But still, at least I'll be able to shut that trap of yours. This house has a lot of clues we are unaware of. Believe me, you don't want to hear us out. Otome Saotome is going down, bitch!"

Junko shrieked, and she was folded shut. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Peter called, "Steven, tape!"

Steven grabbed the photo and said, "Allow me!" and proceeded to wrap the photo into a taped-up mummy wrap. He added, as he stated, "Consider yourself underdeveloped, you multiple celluloid."

Kagami shouted, "GOD! Stop with that pun!"

Peter slammed the photo on the post, as Farra said, "Well, all's well that ends well. But it's not over yet. She may be still alive, but with the photo folded in half, she has nowhere to run."

Peter called, "Chazz, Asahi, and I will check this room. There are two rooms we haven't looked. Split up and pick a room."

They headed off, spreading out, looking for clues. Junko sobbed, panicking, "NO! They can't! They just can't! If that thing falls into their hands, when they find it, Saotome's a goner! What am I going to do? If they find it, it's all over!"

Tsukasa and Kagami were searching in one room, as the others split up. Tsukasa asked, "Still… What could Junko Enoshima be hiding that she doesn't want us to find? Could it be that important?"

Kagami replied, "I'm not going to bother answering it. If the weirdo in faux nails turn white as a sheet, we're sailing smoothly, from here."

Junko cried, "AGH! HELP ME FROM INSIDE!"

She screamed out, "LET ME OUT OF HERE! DAMN YOU! GET ME OUT OF THIS TAPED TOMB! I'M NOT A RELIC! I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE!"

Kagami huffed, "Nice try. But we know that you're dead. How can you breathe?"

Junko moaned, "You sons of bitches… When I get free, I'm gonna smash your goddamn lights out! You figured Otome Saotome out! You won! But that doesn't mean that I would suffer, more than she does!"

Tsukasa called to her sister, "Come on…"

They departed, as Junko sobbed, "LEMME OUT! I'm trapped here! Someone? Hello?"

As everyone was searching, Chazz suddenly saw some drawers and walked towards it. Junko cried, as she was pleaded, "The very least you could do is make air holes in my photo!"

Farra huffed, "I'm ignoring you~… Fuck you, cunt bag…"

Junko roared, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! YOU'RE SO DEAD! YOU CARE FOR HOPE, BUT ALL I CARE FOR IS DESPAIR!"

Farra laughed, "When I said fuck you, I meant fuck you, so fuck you…"

Tsukasa called, "Agent Stevens, please refrain from profanity!"

Kagami sighed, "Oh, grow up… Some of our friends are dead, and it's nice to have a little banter, now and then. Times like this that I wished I was with Kona Force 7. But, as long as Enoshima's Ghost is sealed tightly, we'll be able to find what we need."

Junko sobbed, "Someone… Help me…" she pleaded, "Just give me a break already! I know I'm dead and all, but that doesn't mean a ghost must suffer, in a cramped instant photo! Do us all a favor, damn it!"

Tsukasa sobbed, "I don't know, Sis, we better give her what she wants. I'm claustrophobic, myself, so I know how she feels."

Kagami growled, "So, you really want to have some air?"

Junko laughed, "Yes, please~!"

Kagami approached the picture and said, "You win."

She then proceeded to use thumbtacks to pin down the photo on the wooden post. Kagami added, "At least you're able to get more holes to breathe in, but that doesn't mean you're free, birdie."

Junko shouted, "WHAT? DAMN IT! OH, YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD, YOU TSUNDERE DERELICT!"

Kagami hissed, "You think I was born yesterday, you psychopath? I did get you holes, but I'm not removing any of the tacks, at all."

Junko grumbled, "Tacks?! So, I'm attached to this post, right about now?"

She then smirked, "HAH! That's so simple~! Thanks for that." They gasped, as she continued, "You idiots made my day! Those tacks were my escape route, so I'll be on the way. SO LONG!"

The photo wagged a bit, and then stopped. Kagami gasped, "HUH? Why did-?"

She hollered, "DAMN IT! SHE ESCAPED, DIDN'T SHE?!"

Tsukasa cried, "I think we goofed! What if she really did use those tacks to escape?"

Kagami gasped, and then removed the tacks from the post.

Peter called, "Hey, what's going on?"

Kagami pulled the photo out, as Tsukasa cried, "Agent Giese, Junko Enoshima escaped, somehow! Sis tacked her down, and she suddenly vanished!"

Peter cried out, "NO, WAIT! KAGAMI, DON'T OPEN IT!"

Kagami opened the photo and cried, "And that woman dare to escape, through the photo, did she? WHERE IS SHE?!"

She pulled the tape out, as the photo was blank. Peter gasped, "No way… Junko Enoshima's… gone?"

Kagami nodded, but Junko appeared from the bottom and cheered, "PSYCH!"

She grabbed onto Kagami's hair, and cried out, "HAH! FOOLS! I never left! I WON THIS BATTLE OF WITS, BUT THIS ISN'T OVER!"

Her photo flew off, as Kagami shouted, "Damn it all! That fucking faker!"

Junko grabbed some string, and then escaped into the cracks. Meanwhile, Chazz opened the drawer, as Asahi cried, "Huh? A bow and arrow?"

Chazz said, "Wait a minute… That's the bow and arrow that Sekai and Juvia used to create Stands! How did it get there?"

Farra rushed to them, and asked, "WHAT? The Speedwagon Foundation has the bow and arrow, already! Something's amiss."

Asahi gasped, as she recognized the arrow, "Wait… That's it! So, that's why…"

Peter called, "EVERYONE! Junko Enoshima's escaped! Watch your backs!"

They gasped, as suddenly the arrow flew off, in Junko's possession. She called, in her rocker form, "Congratulations! You found the bow and arrow; the same bow and arrow that awakened Lethal Queen, by The Sketch Artist Killer! I dub thee, The Arrow of Despair!"

Everyone gasped, as Junko flew upwards, and latched onto a wayward crow, preparing her escape, "You can have that stupid bow, just to burn it into nothing! I'll be taking the arrow; that's the important part! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Farra roared, as her aura was ablaze, "You fucking cunt bag! I'LL BURN YOU INTO ASHES!"

Kagami shouted, "Tsukasa, you still have THX? Use Act One to go after her!"

Tsukasa cried, "But it's far from its range!"

Chazz cried, "SERIOUSLY?! We can't get her now?! Fucking great!"

Farra called, "Don't bother! This whore is mine! BITCH IS ASHES! AND NOW!"

But Peter halted her, and called, "Don't… She got away… but we have all we needed to learn of Otome Saotome."

Farra dispersed and sighed, "Right… But I get it now… Junko Enoshima doesn't want us to locate the bow and arrow that Otome kept. And from what I gather, Otome Saotome was given her Stand, during her life of crime…"

Kagami seethed, as she was upset, "It's my fault… I let her escape…"

Asahi stated, "You didn't let her escape. You were outsmarted by the Ultimate Despair. Even if she is dead, she'd play you like a string viola. Those two are one in the same, and their unrelenting resolve may have gotten the best of us."

Junko called out, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! As long as I have the arrow, Saotome's safe~! But you assholes are going to get it now! Enjoy my rampage of despair, as I will unleash more enemies for you to fall to!"

Peter growled, "But still… Why would there be another bow and arrow?"

Asahi figured it out and said, "I KNOW! It was 1987… Enyaba the Hag had a bow and arrow to create a Stand for DIO. Of course, the outbreak of Stand Users was produced, using multiple bow and arrows! From what I gathered, Enyaba the Hag gave this bow and arrow to Otome's father. And Junko Enoshima, the ghost girl that mentored her, was able to create The Sketch Artist Killer."

Farra gasped, "Then that means… Wait… What does that have to do with Enyaba?! The Hag's been dead, since 30 years ago!"

Asahi replied, "This bow and arrow, upon closer inspection… it was the same bow and arrow that created DIO. It was also the bow and arrow that was supposedly destroyed, after Yoshihiro Kira gave his son, Yoshikage Kira, his Stand, Deadly Queen. How it survived remained a mystery."

Peter added, "Then it's safe to assume that the bow and arrow Sekai Saion-Ji had was a different set."

Steven replied, "It seems we have a newer mission: Find Junko, and hopefully, she leads us to Saotome. And soon, this mystery will be solved, for good… Percival's right about one thing: Stands and Spirit Callers are drawn to one another."

Junko was high in the air, as she sobbed, "Oh, Otome… I never expected you to be this malice, killing innocent women, just for porno fetishes… But if that is how you must be, then I will protect you! After all… You're my one and only Star Pupil! And I'll do everything in my power to protect you!"

At Otome's villa, Chazz asked, "Hold on… You knew of Junko Enoshima? Since when?"

Peter replied, "December of last year… Miss Riley gave me a mission to track down remnants of Hope's Peak…"

Farra asked, "YOU had a secret mission?"

Steven said, "I was there, yes. Scarlet said that we had to hunt down there… but Steven Cooke bailed. Not my bailiwick."

Peter replied, "It was a two-man job, but Steven said it best… I acted alone… Junko Enoshima… was dead for years… only it was a deadly virus that was unleashed in another city in Japan. Of course, I wanted to learn more, since she was responsible for the unsolved mysteries behind the many deaths of Hope's Peak."

Asahi asked, "Peter… What happened that day?"

Peter looked at the dusk sky and said, "We'll talk about it, once we return to base, and regroup. But we do know is that the mission happened, months after the battle with MIO."

They left Otome's old villa and retreated to HQ, not only hunt down Junko Enoshima, but to also find the whereabouts of Otome Saotome. As Junko flies off, she called out, "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! This victory was just Page One of the Comeback Story of Despair! The Gang may have the jump on me and my star apprentice, but that's just icing in the cake! THE GANG WILL FALL TO DESPAIR! AHHHHHH, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! JUNKO ENOSHIMA'S BACK, BAY-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

The crow farted out white stuff, and landed onto a wayward mailbox, near town. It was the home of Nagisa and Kaede. Inside the house, Nagisa sniffed, as he saw Kaede serve up dinner. It was curry, rice, egg salad, and vegetables. He gasped, "Whoa! You didn't have to go through all that! You're a great chef, Kaede!"

Kaede was faced away from Nagisa, as she was putting the dishes away. She said, "Sorry, but I was pretty busy. You can help yourself. I'll have me a plate, later. I have some brief errands to run, before I could eat."

"Oh, come now! Eat with me! I mean, you have a lot to explain, since you came home from work."

The girl's face is shown, as she had a light scowl, and a dark aura. This girl is Nagisa's friend, Kaede Kayano. However, there's more to this girl than we know. Just who is Kaede Kayano?
