At Nagisa and Kaede's house, a blue cat was meowing towards the window, as Nagisa ran to the window. He gasped, "Oh no! Kitty!"

He pulled the cat out, after opening the window, and then said, "Poor kitty."

He held the kitty, and marched to the bathroom. He roared, "WE NEED TO TALK, KAEDE! What the hell were you thinking, leaving that kitty out of the house?"

Kaede was naked, soaking in the bathtub. She then stared at him, as he blushed, "Uhhhhhh… Sorry…"

He looked away, "AGH! SORRY, I DIDN'T LOOK! I SAW NOTHING!"

Kaede snuffed, "Hmm…"

Nagisa pleaded, "Look, next time, leave the window open! I don't care if we have no AC, just leave the window open, next time, damn it!"

The cat started to meow wildly, as it was frightened. Nagisa asked, "You okay, kitty?"

Kaede said, as she was soaking, "I guess cats hate water, do they? My apologies. I wasn't thinking, and acted carelessly. Sorry, it won't happen again. Now, please, step out of the bathroom."

Nagisa thought, as Kaede shut the door in the bathroom, "This isn't the Kaede I know… First, she makes dinner, out of the blue, then she doesn't treat me like a pervert, walking into the bathroom, and now, she is using herbal soap instead of the store-bought stuff. The herbal stuff makes her sneeze."

The doorbell rang, as Nagisa said, "Yes? Coming!"

He arrived at the door, as a man in brown hair, a black suit, and a brown satchel bag, was furious, as he scolded, "YOU! You rotten punks! I thought I told you to pay me the rent, and this is how you repay me?"

Nagisa asked, "Mr. Ono, sorry, we have planned it, but-."

Ono roared, "NO BUTS! You owe me two months' rent – last month's and this month's! And I'm not leaving, until you pay me!"

Kaede returned, as she said, "Rent? Hmm…"

"You heard him! Go get the money from the safe, before he kicks us out!"

She said, as she was nervous, "Uh, I'll handle this…"

He asked, "Wait! You know the combination to the safe! Why can't you go and get it? Kaede?!"

She went to Ono, as she asked, "Sir, why are you so angry about us, being we are just doing our civic duty? I'm strapped of cash, as we speak, but I do have enough to spare."

Ono asked, "Oh? So you're trying to keep your money stashed away, and you refuse, you cheapskates?"

He shoved her down, as he barked and scolded, "It's no wonder you're a lonely bottom feeder brat who amounts to nothing! You two have no future, as you live in hovels for…"

As he was scolding, an ominous figure appeared from behind Ono, and flicked the lock to his bag. It was… Lethal Queen?!

Nagisa cried, "You bastard! We are getting your money-!"

Ono barked, "NO! No more excuses! I am evicting you from this house, now and for-!"

"Shut your fucking mouth, you cocksucking fucker." Kaede hissed, in a demonic glare.

Ono shrieked, as he was frightened by her intimidating glare. She calmed down, and then said, "I mean, sorry, but people like you shouldn't shove down your tenants like that. All you did was make me a bit peeved."

She held up a wad of cash and said, "Now, as for the rent, you must've misread me. I am strapped of cash, but I only have about 500,000 Yen on me."

He gasped, as does Nagisa. She continued, "Let's see… This will cover this month's, last month's, next month's, and the next two months in advance. Will that suffice you, for now?"

Ono nodded, as he was smiling forcefully, "Uhhh… That should be fine. Thanks! Thank you kindly… and I'm sorry I didn't let you finish, Miss."

Ono left, as Nagisa thought, "Hold on… I saw it with my own eyes… She just stole that money from him, without looking!"

He called, "Look, there's no looking back on this! You stole it from Mr. Ono's bag, didn't you?"

Kaede said nothing, as she walked off. Nagisa whispered, "She didn't even answer. Did she really have that much for the rent? If anyone could've done it, their partner would be horrified of this situation. But still… This is new behavior from Kaede… She'd have that gusto to not only steal Mr. Ono's money, and then lie to him… It made no sense."

Nagisa continues to worry, though he found Kaede's new attitude to be concerning and suspicious. But little does he know was that Kaede Kayano has the same Stand as Lethal Queen. It means one thing… … …
Kaede Kayano… is actually Otome Saotome!

Episode 50 – Chapter 2: The Sketch Artist Killer (Part 2)
Hope's Peak!
The Rematch Between Hope and Despair!

Back at the LSAAWS HQ building, three portraits in black frames and ribbons were on the wall, with Misaki, Sumiyoshi, and Watanabe in the picture. Iwata was praying, along with Tsukasa, as they were still mourning for their demise, by Otome Saotome.

The Gang's Aces, Princeton, and Kagami arrive in the building, as Kagami sighed, "I really missed the place. It's a lot quieter now."

Iwata said, "Oh, hey, you guys."

Tsukasa sniffled, "It's sad to be here, with only him… not after what happened."

Chazz said, "It's fine. We got this, but… We'll avenge everyone that died by her hands."

Asahi said, "Iwata, would you mind stepping outside? This is a private meeting."

Iwata said, "Sounds right. But I'm staying indoors. Who knows if I'm next to be killed?"

He stepped out, as he was crying. Asahi said, "Poor Iwata…"

Kagami said, "He's very lonely, now that his partners are gone…" she then sneered, "He's about to be poor, soon, since HE now pays the rent, only."

Tsukasa said, "It'll be fine. Yuki-chan will repay him, once it's over."

The Aces and Chazz sat down at the table, likewise the Hiiragis. Steven said, "Now that he's gone, we're better off telling you about this woman… NOT Otome Saotome, of course."

Miz-K NOTE: For those who haven't played or seen Danganronpa, spoilers are ahead.

They showed a file of Junko Enoshima, including her mugshot and her credentials. Steven explained, "Junko Enoshima – a.k.a. The Ultimate Fashionista, a.k.a. The Ultimate Despair. She was the World Government's #1 Public Enemy, before she was destroyed. That spot now belongs to her puppet, Otome Saotome. An AI in Hope's Peak, in a world where she would trigger despair to the world, and no one would be happy, as everything is utterly hopeless."

Peter continued, "Junko Enoshima trapped many innocent students, resulting the entire student body and its teachers to its complete demise. Many of those students survived; though, they were remained anonymous, following the Moji Mikisa's beginnings."

Chazz asked, "How many students were there in Hope's Peak?"

Peter continued, "Dunno. But it's a lot. Around 99% of the student body was slaughtered, along with the headmaster, Jin Kirigiri; this included faculty, custodians, and temps, and all in a three-year span. Only fourteen of those students lived on in the final year, though six escaped the school alive, after Junko was defeated. Junko Enoshima was the 15th student, along with another. In 2010, she was met with her untimely end, after her evil plans were foiled, bringing despair to the world, but remained a cynical part of the school's twisted story. Junko wishes for a world of despair, as she thrives upon it. She'd even go into full lengths to use manipulation and deception, in order to get what she wants. Hope's Peak Academy was her nesting grounds, as it was an elite school… only she used it for her evil ways. Though, the school remains uncertain, as it remained abandoned… but with a possibility that Junko lives on."

Steven continued, "According to the reports, Junko Enoshima was mysteriously killed, after her efforts were in vain. From what we read, she killed her twin sister, Mukuro Ikusaba, the sixteenth student. She infiltrated the school, as Junko, as a spy to serve her sister. But she was ultimately killed, after she went and defied her order. However, it's confirmed that Junko wanted Mukuro out of the picture, betraying her."

Peter stated, "At the villa, we mentioned that if Otome Saotome had a partner, there was a chance that he or she would rat her out. But the only person to be in contact with Otome… was Junko Enoshima."

Chazz said, "Or, for that matter, her ghost."

Peter nodded, as Asahi said, "I read the reports of Hope's Peak, and there are numerous survivors… The names were Makoto Naegi, Kyoko Kirigiri, Byakuya Togami, Toko Fukawa, Aoi Asahina, and Yasuhiro Hagakure. However, the rest of the names in Hope's Peak were members of the deceased. But their bodies and souls were erased from existence, likewise the survivors."

Peter stated, "Like Asahi said, the souls of the dead in Hope's Peak were removed, as if they didn't die at all… It's like they were revived, which was caused by some sort of RESET button."

Kagami asked, "Reset button?"

Asahi growled, "Enrico Pucci…"

Chazz asked, "Who?"

Tsukasa asked, "So, even this Multiverse Mess-Up, they just let a person die, and then restart their lives, like it never happened?"

Farra explained, "Though, the good people and the bad eggs were killed, and then they were replaced into a different world…"

Peter explained, "All of them died… but were revived… Sayaka Maizono, the Idol Sensation. Maizono was the first victim to go. She was killed by Leon Kuwata, the Baseball Star, out of self-defense. But he was later caught.
Mondo Owada, a Biker Gang Leader, he was killed, after he murdered Chihiro Fujisaki, a Pro Hacker.
Taeko Yasuhiro, a.k.a. Celestia Ludenberg, she was a pro gambler. She killed Hifumi Yamada, all for money. Though, Yamada killed Kiyotaka Ishimaru, under her ploy.
And Sakura Ogami, a huge muscular girl, killed herself… only to protect the others…"

Kagami gasped, "So many people?"

Tsukasa whispered, "My god… Before the AU Build was going to go haywire, Junko Enoshima created her version of Survivor meets The Hunger Games… but with completely horrendous bloodshed, equal to The Purge."

Peter said, "Though Junko was defeated, once and for all, this RESET Button was into play, erasing everything about the Hope's Peak murders and mysteries, like it never happened. The names were changed… the drama was gone… the friendships and alliances were disbanded… the villain rewound her plan back to Page One… and the school remained the hollow halls of education, though it was abandoned… No one would dare enter Hope's Peak, again."

Tsukasa whimpered, "Then… That would also mean…"

Chazz growled, "It means that Junko Enoshima lives again. But that's impossible, since she's now dead."

Peter nodded, as Farra said to him, "I think we should tell them. I read the reports, on the way… and I think they need to know."

He growled, as Asahi said, "Please, Peter. It's what we want, to gain confidence for these girls. We want closure… … …and end this nightmare, before it even starts again."

Chazz stated, "So, you want to tell us what happened that day, when you fought that Fashion Bitch?"

Peter said, "There's a reason why I chose to do a solo mission in Hope's Peak… Junko Enoshima hails there, before the problem was about to restart. Steven Cooke bailed on the mission, because I second that emotion. I wanted to find out, myself."

Steven replied, "He once covered Crystal Park, owned by the Sailor Guardians, after it burned to the ground, and he had to investigate in the charred rubble. Supernatural phenomenon is not Steven Cooke's job… Big Guy had it covered, so I walked."

Peter stated, as he explained everything, "Hope's Peak was no theme park. It was the definition of Hell… December 2018, months after we defeated MIO, Scarlet Riley sent me to investigate a disturbance in Hope's Peak… I wanted to be sure, if she would return…"

It happened in December. He walked down a snowy land, lightly snowing, as he was headed to Hope's Peak Academy, an abandoned high school in Japan.

Behold, Hope's Peak Academy; smack-dab in the heart of Tokyo, Japan. This is the all-elite high school that accepts students of its highest caliber, from various fields, such as sports, entertainment, arts, and such, each and every year, only the best of the best are enrolled in this school. Funded by the government, it's a paradise made in heaven. But this school was the resting grounds of one of the most horrific moments in history – The Battle Between Hope and Despair, and The Tragedy.
Prior to the Moji Mikisa, caused by Enrico Pucci, Ultimate Despair Girl Junko Enoshima kidnapped and abducted all the high-caliber students in the school, in a massive murdering game of despair – The Killing Game. For three years, she planned to make this world into her own world of despair, setting up an apocalyptic world that caused a massive collapse in global society. Anarchy would soon follow, as the headmaster of the school, Jin Kirigiri, knew that he would prepare the students to survive, only for Junko to kill him. For the first two years, she would cause drama and blood in the school, with 15 students surviving the horrific battle… until her defeat… and eventually her untimely demise.
However, two years later, the Moji Mikisa came to pass, and with it, all the lives of the students that died in the huge murdering game in Hope's Peak were revived, erasing the demonic moment in history… but regretfully, Junko Enoshima was one of those victims.

Peter arrived at the gate, as he looked around. He said, "No sign of disturbances… But it makes you think."

He walked into the gate, and his breath remained visible, not just from cold wintry air, but it changed to black. He then glared, "So, she is here. Despair is soaked and bathed in the foundation of this campus. Should've guessed."

He went to the front door and moaned, "Oh, gimme a break… At least I'll be warm."

He was inside, as he removed his brown coat. It disappeared into a black void. He said, "I normally call out the villain, but I chose not to. Junko Enoshima is here, watching me. She knows my every move. And if I know Junko, she'll do everything in her power to stop me."

He walked to the hallways, as Junko's voice called out, "You're kinda old for a high school student. What are you supposed to be?"

It came from the speakers, above the walls, as she called out, "You know who I am, do you? How droll."

He said, "Hmph… So, I was right. You are watching me."

Junko laughed, "YAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! You reek of despair!"

"So?"

"SO?! Despair is what turns me on!"

"Tell that to the enemies I slaughtered."

"EH? Hold on… You reek of hope?"

"Bingo, skank master. Junko Enoshima, I'm Agent Peter Giese, of AAW-New York's A-Squad. I want to ask you a few questions. After that, I'm going to have to ask you to come quietly."

"Why should I?"

His aura boomed in darkness, as Junko was viewing the action from inside a huge security room, full of monitors. He then called, "Because… If you don't, I'll force you to, until you bleed dry."

She smirked, "Interesting… This jackass thinks he can best me?"

She leaned back, as she said, "I'll bite. What? You came here to interrogate me? I'd like to see you try. To be clear, I'm in no mood to fight you. Besides, why fight you, if I can have someone do it for me?"

"Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!" A small teddy bear, with white and black halves, walked in, as he smiled, "Hello, students! My name's Monokuma!"

Peter snarled, "A teddy bear?"

Junko smiled, "Like him? He's too cute."

"God fucking damn it… You just can't seem to get the gist of this mission. I'm gonna slice your head off for this, and then, I'll send your stuffed animal's head to your bedside."

Junko groaned, "Ungh… You're one to talk. Monokuma, punish him!"

The bear leapt towards Peter, but he decapitated the bear with his right chop. The bear showed chrome circuitry and wiring. He gasped, "A robot?"

Junko smiled, "Aw, that's a shame, sucker. I thought you knew."

He stated, "I already know. Why do you think a robotic android teddy bear would attack me? You and your despair."

Junko, changed into her teacher's look, and adjusts her glasses, "You are, by far, not as dumb as you look. I admire your smarts and luck to counteract the drama that unfolds in this school. Judging by your immersed power, you've increased by over 200 times worth of ferocity."

She reverted to her saddened form, complete with fungi on the top of her head, "Now that's just terrible… Your body wafts of death and destruction."

She reverted to her form, similar to DIO, and hissed, showing a monitor of herself, "You arrogant fool… Nothing of what you do will stop me, either way. You couldn't be wrong about arresting me. I'll kill you, before you try to escape Hope's Peak."

He walked around, as Junko growled, "Shit! He's on to me. He's walking like he is closer to me. Who is this guy?"

She held up a plush Monokuma and imitated, "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! None of that matters, anyways! Once he finds me, he's good as dead! But if he doesn't find, that's fine! I'll make sure he kicks the bucket, before he does!"

He walked out of the hallway, and spotted a couple doors from the way. And he then said, "Sorry, Junko, I have no clue where you are. It'd be a waste of energy, if I were to find you this quickly. So, basically, I'm going to find you, and then I'll meet you, face-to-face. I'm giving up on finding you. However…"

He split into four Phantoms, as he called, "…if you are as good as you say, about finding despair, how about we search quickly, by ten times."

More his clones emerged, as there were a total of thirty, as there were six in each floor of the school. Junko gasped, "What the hell? This guy… He's a demon from Hell!"

The Phantoms split up, as Peter was walking up the stairs to the second floor. He said, "I'll watch from the stairway of the second floor. My boys will be able to search the school, big as it is, and hunt your skanky ass down."

Junko shouted, in her rock star pose, "You think a bastard like you can find me, with your shadow clones? Damn it! I hardly even know you, yet you have spiritual powers!"

He arrived at the fourth floor, and leaned onto a door. She roared, "FUCK THAT! I'LL KILL YOU, GHOSTS AND ALL!"

He smirked, "Show yourself, then… I'm going to plaster your blood all over the walls… That is, until my Phantoms get to you, first."

Junko hissed, "Mmmngh…" She shouted, "NO WAY! You're never finding me, you bastard!"

Peter said, "Then we'll do things the hard way."

Junko posed as DIO and hissed, "Just try me. You cannot find me, even if I'm in an AV Club Room. Even if you find me, this place is huge. Locating every aspect of each part of the building is a labyrinth. Though, I admire your enthusiasm on becoming of a special agent or a detective, what makes you think you, of all people, can stop me? Even if you find me, there's no escape."

He smirked, "Thanks for the info. But I already knew you're there. But it's not really the AV Room…"

She gasped, "Eh?"

He explained, "See where I'm at, leaning at the door? I found you. I should guess that you'd broadcast yourself in the AV Room, including the cameras and monitors. I'm at the Broadcast Room. This isn't just a school, it's an all-purpose prison."

She gasped in horror, "Wait a minute… His phantom clones were a diversion?! SHIT! HE TRICKED ME!"

He said, "…and now that I found you in this cat and mouse game, you're under arrest, bitch."

SMASH!
"ORA!"
He busted the door down, as Junko shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! NO WAY! HOW THE HELL DID HE FIND ME SO QUICKLY?"

Peter explained, "You didn't know? My aura is as black as night. I bleed, piss, sweat, and cry despair. But my heart belongs to hope. Finding you, who has only the stench of despair, was an easy task."

He walked in and said, "Junko Enoshima, at last we meet, face-to-face."

Junko stepped back, as she glared, "You… I'll kill you…"

They stared down, as she hissed, "Nothing matters to you, jerk…"

He stated, "You had your fun, but I'm making sure this doesn't get a reboot."

"Reboot? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Hope's Peak… Despair… Hope… You were the mastermind, along with a partner. I read you like a violin, and played you for a book. But to be fair, it's batty that I don't even make sense. You and your bear bots are not going to bring despair, again."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

"I see that you do not remember about the headmaster of Hope's Peak… Tell me, was it your plan to kill all the Ultimates and have your own fun of chaos and Armageddon? I read about your plot, long ago. You planted the seeds to 14 young students, all high in their caliber, and you would make them all perish, one-by-one…"

"Get real! Name one!"

"Sayaka Maizono."

"That cunt? Big deal."

"Leon Kuwata."

"He's a dead ringer."

"Mondo Owada."

"So?"

"Toko Fukawa, Chihiro Fujisaki, Sakura Ogawa, Byakuya Togami, Makoto Naegi… need I go on?"

Junko was confused, as she asked, "Eh? What are you saying? You think I'd know these losers?"

"Do you?"

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

"What about your sister?"

Junko gasped, as he glared, "You know… I wonder about you, Junko Enoshima… Are you twins? I figured I take her out for you… and by that, I meant she'll talk for you."

Junko seethed, but calmed down and smiled, "Very good… I do believe that you wanted to see her… My dear sister, Mukuro…"

She laughed hysterically, "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! ARE YOU THAT STUPID?! MY SISTER'S DEAD!"

He gasped, as she smirked, posing as a Queen, with a crown on her head, "That's right, my dear detective. Only one Ultimate Despair Sister lives on in Hope's Peak, and that's me!"

"Despair… Sister?" He gasped.

She posed as DIO and said, "Yes. My twin sister, Mukuro Isukaba… A grave ending to my dear flesh and blood, but to what is worth it, I'm mortified, myself, likewise you… Mukuro and I were two sides of the same coin, you might say. We are fraternal twins, one rough with a military mind and the other cunning and compulsively attractive…"

She cheered, "SO! Guess which one I was!"

She posed as a rocker, as she cackled. Peter glared at her, as he snarled, "Bitch…"

She jeered, "We're twisted sisters, united in darkness and despair! We both have the same mind and power! And don't get me started on the last name jazz! The bait-and-switch name game is a common device!"

He growled, "You killed your own sister?"

"My reasons for her demise were deeper than thought. Nah, I was joking. I killed her, because I was bored! Nyah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

She changed back to her DIO pose and continued, "I haven't addressed a real human being for so long… One quickly falls out of practice, it seems."

She shifted to her rocker form and barked, "Might have something to do with "I'm sick of my own company!" BLECH!"

"You fucking… DARKNESS DEVIL!" He roared, as he Spirit Caller emerged.

Peter prepared to fight, as Junko shifted to her teacher pose. She called, "Detective Giese, stand down. I believe you want to know what I was about to do, after I plan to do it. It happened before, like it was a fleeting memory. But to avoid any further bloodshed, allow me to explain fully of the job at hand… being that you're too dense to understand."

He dispersed his dark aura, and then said, "Alright… I'll listen."

She explained her plan, "For the plan at Hope's Peak to become realized, we needed one of us behind the scenes, to monitor and puppeteer the teddy bear robot, Monokuma. As such, through my analysis, Ikusaba was outrageously miscast. She was the weaker minded of the two. Case in point, consider the person who jumps at the chance to lash themselves onto a ragtag mercenary."

He said, "I see… So you were the sole mastermind…"

She continued, "That's right. She posed as me, while I was waiting in the wings, piloting Monokuma. Alas, I ran into a bit of a hiccup. Call it a problem of 3D Rendering, but Mukuro and I were Ultimate-Level students. And that derailed everything…"

The Late Mukuro Ikusaba – Ultimate-Level Despair Sister and Ultimate-Level Soldier

She continued, "Despairingly stinky; despairingly gross; despairingly filthy. One needn't to resort to statistical wizardry to conclude her kind to mix well with the others."

Junko Enoshima – Ultimate-Level Despair Sister and Ultimate-Level Fashonista

She said in a Valley Girl accent, "By the same level, it'd be a crying shame to let a high school level fashion diva such as moi languishes in obscurity."

He said, "And being you're twins, you switched places."

Junko said, in her teacher pose, "Yes. Quite right. But I hadn't allow how unlike we were, how distinct; not by a mile. It was NOT easy. She intended to behave like a supporting character, which was a challenge. See, when such regrettable personality duck tails with such an unpleasant appearance, the audience expects that character to die early on. And who am I to damage our market sharing?"

"So, you did it please your viewership…"

"Well, there was a bit more to it. Suffice to say, the vulgar wretch had worn out her welcome."

Junko, who was actually Mukuro, stomped onto Monokuma, as she called, "You heard me! I'm sorry, were you trying to say something?"

Monokuma groaned, as he was flattened by Mukuro's high heel, "Big mistake~! Manhandling the principal in any way is strictly forbidden! The rules, remember?"

Mukuro was shocked, as Monokuma beeped in his eyes, "NOW, Summoning magic! Save me, Gungnir Spears!"

STAB!
Mukuro was stabbed completely with numerous spears, all through her body, bleeding out pink blood. Mukuro croaked, as she was dying, "Okay… not gonna lie… kinda hurt… It's so… I don't know, really…"

She collapsed, as she died.

Peter seethed, "Unbelievable…"

She went cutesy, as she explained, "Sometimes you just plan stuff out, and you can totally see where it was going in the long run, ya know? I said to myself "Nah! Mukuro's no fun, anymore. And what's the point if I can't make an example about my peeps who bore me?""

He said, "So, it was a betrayal…"

"Yep!" Junko giggled, "It was her own dumb fault! Mukuro couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag, with both ends ripped open."

He growled, "So, you killed your sister, and you feel unaffected by the grief you caused."

Junko smiled, "Are you kidding me? This school is to honor despair, not silly ol' family ties! When you stop and think about it, from the moment we pop into this big stupid world, crying and wailing, the one thing we like to show is death and tears!"

She continued, in her Rocker form, "So what that boils down to is that murder is a comforting euphemism for what we are guaranteeing for what we're dealing with! NEWS FLASH, old man: We're all going to die eventually, what's the matter how we get there?"

"ENOUGH!" He boomed, as his aura exploded, "You bitch! I don't care about your family issues! I'm making sure that your eventful despair will NOT HAPPEN!"

Junko laughed, as Monokuma, "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! Oh, look at the giant, wanting a friend in the world! Do you want to know what happens next, while the students are in my school? Well, take a look!"

She showed a monitor of the world going into chaos and disaster, with a lot of Monokuma heads on each people, monument, poster, and everything else. She continued, "This was my dream, a world full of despair! Since the Multiverse twisted into chaos, I'm all like… I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!"

She wept, as she reverted to her depressed form, "But… It's what they call… Post-Apocalyptic Hellscape…"

He snarled, "This was your plan, all along… You… YOU! I'll get you… for this… You're no worse than Tohru Honda. You're plunging the world into chaos."

Junko stared down, as Peter prepared to fight. Junko posed as DIO, as she said, "So, your blood is now boiling… How droll. Tragic comedy after tragic comedy is just picking a sacred cow…"

He snarled, "I'm not letting you have this!" He summoned his powers, and then barked, "YOU'RE NOT MAKING THIS PLAN COME TO FRUITION, AGAIN!"

Junko said, in her teacher's form, as she stated, "You may remember everything, but I've known it from Day One. It's not that simple to explain. Once we reunite together, we'll relive the horror show, all over again. Only this time, the ending will be different."

She shifted to Monokuma and laughed, "Once they are all reunited, every last one of these little brats that defeated me, it's time for revenge on those brats! ALL OF THEM WILL PAY!"

He barked, "I won't let you have your way! You were going to repeat the process!"

She posed as DIO and said, "I wouldn't say. If you wish to throttle me, now's your chance. I recognize you, during your time in Egypt, especially a battle with a sexy vampire… Yes, I remember you, you're the man that ended the evil vampire queen, while your buddy, Steven Cooke, I believe, ended the evil plans of a man who was once his mentor and idol. All you did was planted the seeds of despair.
I'm not one to brag, but despair spreads like a viral outbreak; that is to say, geometrically. NO ONE is immune."

He asked, "You were watching us? I don't believe it… Even the battle with Steven Nevins and everyone… You even saw how Rook died… how Michelle was slaughtered… how my friends had to go through hardships, all to save my wife's life… You're a backstabbing witch! YOU EXPECT ME TO SWALLOW THIS BULLSHIT?!"

Junko mocked, "Aw, look at you saying that you just found out about the truth. Is that how you stay positive? Well, I'd like to debate the finer points in ontology. But it appears we're out of time."

He glared, "I don't care about any of this; neither hope nor despair! The truth is… I do not want to see you act your way, like before!"

Junko smiled, "That may be so, but I grow weary of our long talk. You came to slaughter me, make me end my plans, once again, all to get back and rewrite my last folly. Well, then…"

She posed as a rock star and boomed, "YOU GAVE ME AN IDEA, TALL, DARK, AND STUPID!"

She called out to him, "HERE'S HOW IT GOES! I won't let you live, because I'm going to demolish the school, with you inside! And guess what? You know everything about my plans, so I decided to abort the plans, and kill YOU!"

"What, me?"

She went cutesy and said, "Well, you figured me out, and now it's ruined! No one reveals and relives my secrets, all for gain. Truth be told, I don't want to let the world go into hope."

She roared, in her rock star persona, "OH, YEAH! Lemme make it short and sweet, fat stuff! I'm destroying this school, and I'm taking you with me!"

He asked, "You… WHAT?"

She smirked, in her cutesy form, "That's the idea…" she shouted, in her rocker form, "STEP UP! You can land a punch on me, but you won't have the chance, anyway!"

He growled, "I don't need to fight you. I'll stop you, before you even destroy this school! Know who I am, asshole?"

"HAH! Knowing how long you have left, you'll be dead in a flash second! Isn't it awesome?"

Peter growled, as he was furious. They stared down, as Junko said, normally, "By the way, even if you stop me, Despair is forever. There is another that is doing my dirty work, but I rather not say who or what it is. Strike me down, and you won't get to know who this person is. But can we get this over with? I'm getting bored talking to you, right now."

Peter snarled, as he prepared. But Junko steps back and called, "HOPE VS. DESPAIR! Who won this battle? LET'S FIND OUT!"

She unleashed a red button, as she giggled, "Come on… Big money, NO whammies…"

Peter gasped, "What are you doing?"

She smiled, "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to destroy this school from the inside-out! Oopsies, I guess it was fun, but I guess that plan was useless now…"

She has swirls for eyes and laughed, "Imagine, we all go down in a huge explosion of despair!"

He snarled, "You bitch!"

Junko called, "It ends now… Hope is fleeting, and all you have left is despair!"

Peter called, "Maybe so… but I'm ending your resurrection, one way or another. The world's already gone through enough corruption, as it is!"

Junko sneered, "Very droll…"

He prepared, as Junko was about to press it. He roared, "JUNKO ENOSHIMA!"

Junko prepared to press it, as his aura increased.

Tsukasa asked, "And then?"

Cut back to the HQ, as Tsukasa asked him, "What happened next? Did Junko press the button?"

Peter said, "She did. However, I learned more about her, including how she wants to restart everything, so despair wins. Except…"

Cut back to the flashback, as Junko was about to press the button. Peter unleashed his Darkness Devil, and charged towards her. He called out, "JUNKO ENOSHIMA!"

He narrated, "Even if I used my time stop, it'd be out of range. Junko was able to press it, but her body was giving out. It turns out… she had herself being destroyed. It was a fatal flaw."

The school was shaking, as it was about to self-destruct. Junko laughed evilly, as she was stumbling down in a huge seismic shake. Junko lashed her tongue out and collapsed to the ground, falling into the abyss. Peter had time to escape, as he was able to leave Hope's Peak, before it would fall down.

Hours later, most of the building remained standing, as Peter was in the snow, panting in pain. Though he was unsuccessful in stopping Junko Enoshima, he did prevent a repeat of the Ultimate Despair in the entire world. He dusted himself off and huffed, "Bah… So much for despair… But I am relieved that history isn't repeating itself."

He got up and retrieved his coat from the dark portal, "That's the end of that."

He walked off, returning home, as he slated the mission to be successful.

Kagami nodded, "Well, you failed at killing Junko Enoshima, but you did prevent a repeat performance of her evil plot. It was a sad way to go."

Peter explained, "Junko's body was never found, after that. Amidst the rubble, all that was left of her is the blood that gushed out from her. Junko wouldn't have escaped, but in my mind, when she knew about her plans that ended too soon, she'd erased herself from existence."

Chazz said, "But… That wouldn't make sense. Why is she a ghost now?"

Farra gasped, "Wait a minute… Think back to Junko's escape, yesterday!"

Tsukasa pondered, as she stated, "She said that Otome Saotome is the NEW Junko Enoshima… and the arrow she stole…"

Peter nodded, "That's right. It makes sense now."

The others were befuddled, as Peter concluded, "Needless to say… Otome Saotome, as Junko stated, was her apprentice in the role of Sketch Artist Killer… But… Even in death, despair is a disease, and she is the cause. Dead or alive, she won't stop, until despair hits everything… Even as The Sketch Artist Killer…"

Tsukasa was shocked, "No… No way… It can't be…"

The Gang Aces, Chazz, Tsukasa, and Kagami were in complete disbelief. Tsukasa cried out, "So, if Otome Saotome's an apprentice to Enoshima, then… that means…"

Peter replied, "That's right… Junko Enoshima is The Sketch Artist Killer… She killed Sakura Minamoto."

They all gasped, as Farra cried, "Are you kidding me?!"

Chazz cried, "WHAT? HER?!"

Asahi cried, "You mean… Junko Enoshima… the Ultimate Despair… SHE'S THE SKETCH ARTIST KILLER?!"

Kagami cried, "No… So, she made Saotome kill our allies…"

Tsukasa whispered, "It all makes sense… The girl, Sakura Minamoto… Eleven years ago… Junko Enoshima killed her…"

Steven said, "And to make matters worse, her spirit has absconded with the arrow that produced Lethal Queen, Saotome's Stand."

Chazz growled, "This is great… And we thought the drama was over, but it seems that our worst nightmares have arisen."

Kagami was shaken, "Junko Enoshima… The Sketch Artist Killer… Impossible…"

Tsukasa sobbed, "Watanabe… Misaki-chan… Sumiyoshi… It's not true…"

Asahi growled, "That murdering psycho… Why? How? Otome Saotome was…"

Farra nodded, "She was a puppet to Junko. Even in death, she controlled her, making her kill, every single year, since they met. But before all that could happen, Junko killed Sakura Minamoto, eleven years ago. Her crusade wasn't just for bloodshed or fun… She wants to make everyone suffer."

Steven added, "And to make things more harder than we can imagine, if she wins, despair will loom these worlds, and no one will stop her…"

Peter walked off, as Steven and Farra followed. Chazz growled, "Damn her… Killed Minatsu… Killed our friends… That whore will pay for this… Junko and Saotome, both!"

Kagami was shaken in anger, "That rotten bitch…"

Tsukasa was teary-eyed, shaken in anger, "That murdering psycho skank… Despair… I won't… let it…"

Asahi walked off, as she wanted to leave them alone. She went to find the others, only she saw Steven glaring at Peter, "Dude, what was that for? She died in her own debris?!"

Asahi peeked, as she listened on. Farra stated, "You should've told her what really happened."

Peter said, "I know… But I couldn't give them a slim boost of hope. Otome Saotome's out there, somewhere, and I can't have them cheered up, thanks to my heroics; not after what Junko has done. To be honest, I could care less if they'd believe me. We know that Junko Enoshima must be stopped."

Steven replied, "Obviously. Only now, where do we start?"

Farra said, "Is Princeton and Asahi going to win this battle?"

Peter said, "Not sure. Asahi's too fragile to understand… Don't forget, Maki was a friend of hers, and she suffered so much despair. If we'd let her…"

Farra nodded, as she agreed, "I see… Chazz and Asahi, as what they are… They can't win, against Junko Enoshima's Army of Despair; though, not alone."

Steven said, "Our main objective is to locate more evil Stand Users that Junko will unleash. We'll address this to the others."

Asahi stepped out and glared at them. She then huffed, "Is that right?" She then snarled, "You think I'm not strong enough?"

Farra asked, "Asahi…"

Asahi barked, "Why would you lie to us like that? WHY? You don't believe in me?!"

She sniffled, "You jerks… If you would've said the real truth, we would've listened to you."

Steven said, "I'm sorry, Asahi… It didn't feel right. You lost so much, when you arrived… and we'll lose more, if we fail."

He then held her and said, "You helped me out, long ago… Steven Cooke's returning the favor. We're going to find Otome Saotome, one way or another."

Farra said, "For now, you need to keep this under wraps. You let us worry about Junko Enoshima. We're not sure why she's doing this, but if she wins, it's over. Your main focus is on Otome Saotome's whereabouts and Junko's Stand Users."

Peter huffed, "Even so… Finding them, while Junko is airborne, harboring an arrow, like it was a spear, it will be difficult. I'm afraid that this calls for some backup."

Asahi asked, "You don't mean…"

Peter nodded, "I do."

That evening, a black bird flew towards the F City Grand Hotel. Peter was waiting on the rooftop, as he saw the bird appear, wearing only a purple scarf.

"Luzer," he smiled, "It's been long."

Luzer bowed, as he said, "I was aware of your pleas for help, and my condolences on the Daitenzin's defeat and losses. But I, Luzer, will aide you on this demon."

"I understand. You do remember who we're after, right?"

"Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Despair. Master Kendra told me everything, before my arrival. Master, allow me to hunt down any suspicious Stand Users, in hopes to locate The Sketch Artist Killer and her pupil."

"Good." He gave him a list of the Stand Users they befriended, and continued, "Here's a list of the Stand Users around F City. Tsukasa already has her Stand, but she already knows. These Stand Users are friends of ours, and also our allies. But I want you to be incognito, avoiding your true form."

Luzer said, "You can count on me. My transformation abilities have improved, since last time."

He said, "Right." He held up a rough sketch of Junko and said, "And above all else, stay away from her. She can be so fueled with rage that she'll kill you, if given the chance. Also, if you find Otome Saotome's whereabouts, stay far away from her. Her Stand has the ability to turn anything into a bomb, with one touch, and obliterates you into nothing. That's how she killed Minatsu Amakase and others."

Luzer nodded, as he saluted, "Hm. You got it. Once I warn everyone about Junko Enoshima's evil ways, I will stop this from happening."

He flew off, as he began his hunt for Otome Saotome and Junko Enoshima. And so, the battle begins. The Gang has brought about brand-new clues and evidence on The Sketch Artist Killer. And it turns out… She is the Ultimate Despair – Junko Enoshima, herself.
