Hello, and welcome to another experimental Danganronpa fic, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, and this is another attempt to do another horror-type story whilst my other fic, Danganronpa: Super Duper Highschool of the Dead, is currently ongoing.

This fic came to light when I was browsing Youtube on my smartphone, until I came across an uploaded video about an upcoming anime. At first I thought it was a hentai-type anime, but curiosity got me and decided to take a look, despite the fact that hentai anime being uploaded on Youtube are edited and no ADULT scenes are allowed.

It turns out that it wasn't a hentai at all, but a PV about an anime where high school students are stranded in an island, and are faced against GIANT INSECTS. Yup, giant insects, and thankfully the PV I watched as subtitles, so I was able to get the gist and learned of the title: Kyochuu Rettou.

To my surprise it has no entry on Wikipedia so I searched it on Google and found out that it was based on the ongoing manga, and after reading the first five chapters I was instantly hooked, and while not quite overly gore like HOTD, the elements were similar to survival horror-themed series like Resident Evil/Bio Hazard and the Parasite Eve games.

While the manga is ongoing, the upcoming anime, which turns out to be an OVA, will be up by June. The PV anime made me feel anxious as I wanted to see the anime form of the manga, thus I had to be content with reading the manga while waiting for the OVA.

This in turn inspired me to make a Danganronpa version, but I encountered some problems as to which series I should use, as currently there are three series so far: Danganronpa 1, Danganronpa 2 and Danganronpa V3.

In the end, I thought of using the characters from the three series as a way to put them in situations where they must try to survive while tragedy occurs, and of course there will be three protagonists involved: Makoto Naegi, Hajime Hinata and Kaede Akamatsu.

Lastly, this will be quite AU, though I will be borrowing elements from the Danganronpa anime as a plot device. As of now I will try to go T-rated, and see if reception is good before deciing to go to M-rated due to the horror elements.

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Prologue

Japan.

A country located within the Southeast Asia, which is near neighboring countries such as the Philippines and the past it was known for its controversial part in World War II, which led the United States of America to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima which caused damage, but also led Japan to surrender, bringing the war to an end.

Since then, Japan and its citizens changed for the better, and along the way became friendlier to other neighboring Asian countries and prospered well in the years to come, slowly becoming one of the fast-growing economic partners to other countries.

As the years passed, many emperors come and go, yet they were able to keep Japan floating economically and its citizens prospered and lived peacefully, thus they slowly moved on after what happened at Hiroshima after World War II ended.

-x-

In the years (or decades) that passed, Japan remained as the economic, trading, and friendliest country within the whole of Asia, and their technologies improved, which led to a lot of scientific breakthroughs which improved the lives of its citizens and increasing the happy lives of everyone, local residents and foreigners living here.

Meanwhile, The scene then zoomed further and you can see that the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.

Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey there..."

"Today's a good day..."

"Ah...life is so good..."

"Let's have lunch...?"

"Will you be my girlfriend...?"

"Let's get married..."

"Stop right there!"

"EEEP! COPS!"

-x-

The scene shows that a few weeks later, you can see Hope's Peak Academy, and there you can see a lot of students coming inside, most of them are already enrolled due to their names being randomly chosen and given their assigned titles, while the next scene zooms in and you can see Makoto Naegi walking by, and he was in a state of disbelief that he was chosen to become one of the academy's students through a random draw, and given the title of "Super High School-level Luckster".

Despite the fact that he was chosen to become one of the academy students, which is quite an honor, Naegi still doesn't see himself as "one of the chosen students", as he is still a teenager and is somewhat a few inches shorter than an average adult man. This is proven after seeing other students walk past him and compared their heights. Despite the "Luckster" title, Naegi still sees himself as an ordinary teen, and took a deep breath and prepared himself to enter when a hand touched his shoulder, and as he turned around, he is surprised to see who tapped his shoulder and a conversation took place.

"Okay...here goes nothing..."

"Um...Naegi-kun?"

"Huh?"

"Naegi-kun...it's you!"

"Huh?"

"It's me!"

"Maizono-san?"

"Yup-yup!"

The one Naegi speaking to is a girl, roughly the same age as him, and she is identified as Sayaka Maizono, who has the assigned title of "Super High School-level Idol", in which she is a popular singing idol, and Naegi is surprised at seeing her as Maizono was a schoolmate of Naegi in the last three years as they were in the same junior high school, and he couldn't believe that she still remembered him and as the two made some conversation, the other academy students are surprised, as some of them saw her on TV, yet they couldn't believe that she is chatting with an "ordinary boy".

"Hey, look!"

"Sayaka Maizono!"

"The popular idol?"

"Cool! She's here at Hope's Peak Academy as a student?"

"Whoa...look...who is she talking to?"

"What a boring-looking guy..."

"They seemed to be getting along..."

"Man...I'm jealous..."

Seeing that they are "attracting attention", Maizono told Naegi that they should go inside which he agreed, sensing that some of the male students are "staring daggers" at him and the two went inside, and soon other male students got word that the popular Maizono is also a student at Hope's Peak Academy yet they are startled at the fact that she is chatting immediately with Naegi, in which they are surprised at the fact that Naegi is the "Luckster" and that an "Idol" would entertain him, causing some of them to get envious and jealous towards Naegi.

-x-

Several minutes later, Maizono and Naegi are at the hallway looking at the bulletin board, where several papers are posted, showing the list of sections where the students are assigned to, though the two teens couldn't see it immediately as there were a lot of students in front of them and they had to be patient in waiting for their turns, which Naegi sighed as he never thought the first day of school would turn out to be like this, though Maizono cheered him up which worked well for him.

"Cheer up, Naegi-kun..."

"I know..."

"But you're lucky..."

"Really?"

"Yeah...your name was chosen to become a student in this prestigious academy...and you got a friend from junior high who just became your schoolmate...and we get to chat for the next three years...friends..."

"Yeah...I guess you're right..."

"So cheer up..."

"Okay..."

By then the students in front of them started to leave, and the two teens took the chance to see the bulletin board and there they are able to find their names, seeing that they are assigned in the same section much to Naegi and Maizono's delight, as they are classmates and are assigned to section "Class 78", and the two immediately went towards the room they are assigned to, and there they saw that the other are already there and they appeared to be upbeat like Maizono. Some of them even greeted Maizono as they appeared to know her because of her status as an idol singer.

Naegi glanced at the other students who would become his classmates, and they are identified as the following along with their assigned titles:

- Byakuya Togami - "Super High School-level Heir"

- Kyoko Kirigiri - "Super High School-level Detective"

- Toko Fukawa - "Super High School-level Novelist"

- Yasuhiro Hagakure - "Super High School-level Fortune Teller"

- Aoi Asahina - "Super High School-level Swimmer"

- Sakura Ohgami - "Super High School-level Martial Artist"

- Celestia Ludenberg - "Super High School-level Gambler"

- Hifumin Yamada - "Super High School-level Doujin Artist"

- Kiyotaka Ishimaru - "Super High School-level Moral Compass"

- Mondo Ohwada - "Super High School-level Biker"

- Chihiro Fujisaki - "Super High School-level Programmer"

- Leon Kuwata - "Super High School-level Baseball Player"

- Junko Enoshima - "Super High School-level Fashion Diva"

- Mukuro Ikusaba - "Super High School-level Soldier"

As Mazono began befriending the others, Naegi sat on his seat and stood still, wondering if he could really make a difference here and wondered if "luck" is on his side, until the other students began conversing with Naegi, and to his surprise, he finds himself building a rapport with them because of his optimism, and in no time he began to make friends with most of them, though Togami and Fukawa were reluctant to befriend Naegi because of their attitudes.

By then a homeroom teacher arrived and began the first subject of classes and everyone began to snap to attention and the lecture commences.

-x-

In the weeks that followed, Naegi adjusted to the school life he was in, and thankfully he adjusted well, and he is starting to enjoy his school life and things went well, and soon he began spending time with some of his classmates, though a select few chose not to engage in casual conversations with Naegi, such as Togami, Fukawa and Kirigiri. Soon he began to build a friendship with Hagakure and there the "Fortune Teller" decided to give him a free fortune telling as he glanced at his crystal ball.

"Say, Naegi-chi...thanks for being a friend..."

"Sure, no problem..."

"As thanks...I'll read you a fortune..."

"Really...?"

"Yeah...and it'll be free of charge..."

"Are you sure...I don't think I need..."

"Okay...here goes...hmm...oh...hmm..."

"What...? What did you see...?"

Naegi blinked his eyes at what he was told, in which the following scenarios are laid out by Hagakure's fortune telling:

- The class will have a field trip

- Naegi will have a "chance encounter" with GIANTS

- His life will changed for better or worse

- Hardships will challenge him in the coming days

- Something TRAGIC will befall those around him

Naegi sweat-dropped upon hearing the hints of the fortune reading and slowly dismissed the notions though Hagakure insisted that his fortune readings are "accurate" and they are likely to happen, which Naegi sighed and is about to leave when a teacher came and announced that in two weeks from now, class 78 will have a field trip, and that they will be traveling via an airplane, which the others were thrilled seeing that they are going on an overseas trip, while others wondered where their trip would take them since the teacher said that it will only be somewhere within Japan.

"A fiefld trip?"

"In a few weeks from now? Cool!"

"Sounds fun..."

"Hope the plane provide doughnuts..."

"And pretty girls..."

"Too bad I can't gamble on a trip..."

"And I can't bring my biker gang with me..."

"Damn...so I'm not allowed to bring my own private jet owned by my own Togami family..."

Naegi wondered what this is about as he just started school at Hope's Peak then in a span of three months they are having a field trip, and transportation will be via an airplane. Maizono scooted closer to Naegi and whispered that she felt that something good is bound to happen, and he just nodded, smiling that he would at least get to spend some time with Maizono.

"Naegi-kun..."

"Yeah...?"

"This is good."

"About having a field trip by plane?"

"Yeah."

"How so?"

"We get to spend time together."

"That's good."

To Be Continued... .
