Prologue 3

"Did you hear that?"

"Hm? Hear what?"

"... Check the camera feed."

"Um, alright?... the usual…same old same old… wait, what the? The elevator crashed! And…there's people!"

"Despair scum?"

"N-No. Teenagers!"

"Gear up, we're getting to them, before they do."

"Aye aye, Ma'am!"

"Is everyone okay?" Naegi asked as he stood up, his leg and injuries stinging with pain.

"I'm alive." Leon groaned before being followed by the rest of the class in painful moans.

No one was dead.

"Wh-Where are we?" Sayaka stuttered, having some difficulties standing up because Asahina was on top of her.

Once everyone managed to stand up and their eyes got used to the darkness, just enough for them to see silhouettes in the dark.

The door of the elevator opened with the crash, so everyone managed to get out of the cage without much trouble.

There was not enough light for them to clearly tell where they were but they definitely could tell that the room they were in now was in shambles.

"How on Earth did we survive a fall like that?" Togami asked as he scanned his surroundings.

"Looks like something cushioned our fall." Kirigiri said as she was staring at the weird substance pouring out from below the crashed elevator.

She wanted to touch it but her instincts were pretty much shouting in her mind to not even think about doing that.

Naegi looked around, trying to get some light or anything to help the others. He then distinguished a double door at the end of the room and another headache hit the back of his brain as he started to remember where he was.

"Guys! This way! Once we're through those doors we'll get help!" the Luckster exclaimed as he ran towards the double door.

"Naegi, wait! You shouldn't run with those wounds!" Mukuro ran behind him, holding her head from a migraine, as all this started to feel awfully familiar.

The rest of the class followed the Soldier, not wanting to be left alone in an unknown place.

Naegi pushed the doors open with a bright smile, hoping for help but his hopes were crushed when he saw that the big room was empty and in the same state as the rest of the building. He looked around, whispering that it couldn't be true over and over again.

"Naegi, I'm going to repeat myself here but… This place is abandoned." Togami glared.

"This can't be… I thought… No, I mean-"

"Naegi, where the hell are we, for fuck's sake!?" Mondo roared.

"We… We're in-"

But a loud crash interrupted him, everyone turned towards Yasuhiro who was always behind everyone (to be the first to run away if problems occurred), the adult was shaking in his sandals, looking through the open double doors of the previous room. He was pointing at the elevator where a dead Ultimate Despair just fell onto his death.

'Th-Th-"

Then the Monokuma appeared, jumping on top of the dead Despair, crushing his bones and mask to a bloody mess.

"They are here!" he shouted while holding his head.

He slammed the doors and joined the others.

"What do we do now? fight them again?" Sakura asked Naegi as she raised her fists.

The Luckster looked around and saw four big doors besides the entrance, two doors in front of each other on parallel walls.

"No let's run! The lock upstairs was new, there are people here, down the facility! We need to go to them."

"Understood. Let's split up!" Kirigiri ordered, "Two groups! No time to decide, let's go!"

The large group divided between two smaller groups, one of seven students and the other of eight.

Naegi gave one last instruction to the group, "Guys! Take the right door, the other one leads to a dead end." He yelled to Mondo's group as he led his group to the door on his left "There will be an elevator at the end of the corridor, if it doesn't work, there'll be a staircase. Take it all the way down then go through the left door, we'll meet in the big purple room!"

"How the fuck do you know all that?!"

The three Monokumas destroyed the double doors and entered the room right after that question got asked.

"No time to explain! Let's go!" The Luckster yelled once more before disappearing with Togami, Fukawa, Kirigiri, Leon, Sayaka and Mukuro in the corridor, with two of the Monokumas following them.

Indeed, there was no time to waste as the last Monokuma turned its attention to the rest of the teenagers.

"Let's go!"

"How the hell does Naegi-chi think that the elevators will work?! The lights are barely working!" Yasuhiro whined as he ran with the rest of his group.

"Stop bitchin'! I think that's the elevator!"

"And the Monokuma?"

"Still behind us!"

When they arrived in front of the elevator door, it opened before anyone could notice that there were no buttons to call it. Without wasting a single second they got inside despite the elevator not having a visible well functioning light, pretty much like everything else in this place. The doors closed as soon as they all got in, sealing the Monokuma outside.

They started to search for the button to go down but the levator once again moved without anyone doing anything.

This was creeping everyone out but no choice but to go forward.

When the elevator stopped and its doors opened for everyone to go outside, they were met with a dark grey metallic room, they looked around to only see two main doors and one that led to the stairwell. The elevator doors closed behind them once everyone was out.

"Hm, which door did Naegi tell us to go?" Celeste asked, still supporting Yamada with Chihiro helping her.

"I don't quite remember but I do remember he said to meet in a purple room!" Asahina exclaimed and ran to the right door, "Safety Department…" she read before opening the door, "It's a green corridor here."

Sakura opened the other door that led to the 'Information Department', "Here it's purple. This way everyone."

Suddenly, Taka heard the elevator coming down again.

"Did one of you call the elevator…?"

Slowly, everyone turned their heads towards the doors, hoping dearly that it wasn't what they thought it was. But their hopes were shattered when the doors opened only to show the large two toned bear behind them.

"Upupupu~" the Monokuma laughed and wave at them.

The damned bear laughed to tears as the ex-students ran away in terror, when it finally calmed down it gave chase once again.

The eight survivors ran down the purple corridors, there were a few open heavy looking doors but they were no escape through the rooms behind them.. Ishimaru suddenly tripped over a large debris, the Monokuma behind them definitely noticed him as it was now heading his way.

"Bro!" Mondo yelled and jumped in front of his injured friend, armed with his metal bar.

"I'm staying to help! Asahina, you lead the others to the purple room Naegi-kun talked about. Bring Ikusaba when you see her!" Sakura exclaimed, ready to jump back and help the Gang Leader.

"Alright! Let's go, everyone!" Asahina nodded and led the charge towards the room in question.

When they all disappeared in the darkness, Sakura joined Mondo for his fight.

But not even a whole minute later, a loud scream was heard from down the purple hallway and Yasuhiro ran full speed towards them.

"Help! M-Monsteeeer!" he yelled.

Everyone was confused and stunned at what he just said, even the Monokuma.

"Hagakure! You asshole! How dare you run and leave us behind with injured people!?" They then heard Celeste hiss loudly as the rest of the group appeared, she was still supporting the injured Yamada.

But now Chihiro was supporting an injured Asahina who was bleeding from her temple and looked completely out of it.

"Asahina!" The Ultimate Fighter gasped in shock.

"D-Don't come… Weird… Metal... Ouuch…" she groaned, trying to stay on her feet.

"What the hell happened?!" Mondo yelled, quickly looking back at the Monokuma, only to see it staring intensely at the scene before it, "Huh?"

Then they all heard it…

A banging noise accompanied by a strange rubbing noise.

And shortly after, they all saw it.

The thing wore a straight-jacket that wrapped the entirety of its body except what looked like the head. It was bending forward and still taller than anything anyone laid their eyes on… and yet, the intruder was on its knees. It's… head was a metal shell shaped object that just kept banging against the walls.

That explained the banging noise, and the rubbing was that the monster was crawling on its knees.

The thing seemed blind but suddenly accelerated its pace and aimed it's metal head towards Celeste who screamed.

Thankfully, Sakura was much faster and managed to grab onto the thing, spin around and throw it against the Monokuma who suddenly jolted out of its stupor when the impact with the strange creature sent the both of them flying against the doors.

What followed froze everyone in place as the thing started immediately to bash its metallic head against Monokuma's own, clearly denting it. The mechanical bear fought back, stabbing and slashing at its foe with its claws, making it bleed.

But it seemed that it just made the monster on top of the bear fight more furiously as the tempo of its head bash grew faster and faster until the bear couldn't keep up with it and tried to auto-destruct. Unfortunately for the bear, it looks like its AI was too damaged as the beeping didn't ring and its metal head that was being hit after hit, caved inside its body and stopped moving.

The monster started to pant loudly, fake blood dripping from the metal head.

The Monokuma were filled with fake blood coursing through their bodies, for funsies and trauma, Mukuro explained when they first found out.

"More."

Everyone heard coming from the monster.

"More… death… MORE! DEATH!" it roared loudly.

"Naegi… Where the fuck did you bring us…?" Mondo asked out loud.

"Naegi, where the fuck did you bring us?!" Leon yelled at his friend as he and the rest of the ex-students were waiting for the elevator down the corridor.

Mukuro and Fukawa were guarding the corridor for when the two Monokuma units appeared, the Writing Prodigy ready to give her place to her murderous other self to protect Togami. Surprisingly, they weren't there yet but their singing of 'upupupu~' could be heard clearly echoing down from the darkness. Definitely to stress the students.

"Where the hell is the damn elevator?!" Togami cursed as he looked around for any kind of button to press to call it.

The door to the staircase was stuck against something from the other side, there was no way forward but the elevator. It looked like it was operable because of the noise behind the doors but there was no way to call it.

"Naegi-kun, what do we do?" Kirigiri asked him as she was helping him to stay up.

"The… The elevator comes automatically when someone is near the door, or moves up and down when someone is already inside… or something."

"What do you mean, 'something'?" Sayaka asked, concerned by that last remark.

"Guys! The elevator is here!" Leon exclaimed when he heard the doors starting to open.

The inside was barely lit, it was really hard to see what was inside the cage but they did hear something.

Small flapping noise.

"Uh? Is that a bird?" Leon asked as he was the one standing in front of the entrance.

"A-A-A bird?" Naegi stammered, his eyes widening at a bad memory.

"Hey it's coming close- AH! Fucking bird pecked me!" the Baseball star exclaimed in annoyance.

Naegi saw him slowly raise his hand, ready to whack it away from his head.

"DON'T TOUCH THE BIRD!" Naegi screamed, pushing himself from Kirigiri to tackle Leon to the ground.

Everyone looked at their direction as Naegi was on top of Leon, as if shielding him.

"Wh-What the hell dude?!"

"NOBODY TOUCH THE BIRD! DO NOT DO IT!" He screamed again as the bird started pecking on his head.

"Naegi, what on Earth is happening?!" Togami demanded approaching them, only to be pecked himself by the bird on the forehead, "Ack!"

The Heir was about to swat the bird but he felt Naegi grab his ankle.

"Don't. If you don't want to die. Don't."

No one had a comeback at that statement.

The Monokumas' laughter echoed again, closer. It seemed to have attracted the bird's attention as it flew towards the mechanical bears. A confused noise was heard then a blow was heard. One of the robots hit the bird to the ground and both resumed their march towards the students who were just standing there, curious about what was going to happen fixing them in place.

Though when the Monokumas were now within their perimeter of vision, everyone tensed up while Mukuro got in a fighting stance.

Then out of nowhere, in an incredible speed and without the Monokumas being aware, five spiky tendrils emerged from the darkness behind them, caught and dragged the left bear back to the obscurity, alarming the second one when it screamed.

What followed next was a loud noise of ripping and tearing, no humans could see what was happening in the dark but the last standing Monokuma's expression of terror was a good indication that its partner was being torn to shreds.

What followed emphasized that idea as a Monokuma arm was thrown from the darkness, and landed at Sayaka's feet, fake blood splattering against her shoes. She let out a small shriek of terror as she fell down on her backside. Togami was shielding Fukawa's eyes so she wouldn't faint and bring out Shyo in an insanely confusing scene.

No one noticed that the elevator had left and was going back upstairs.

The carnage noises suddenly stopped and what followed was the sound of small wings flapping away. Nobody moved a muscle for at least ten seconds, not even the last Monokuma unit, until Leon whispered to Naegi that if he could now move away.

"Dude, can you get off of me now?"

The Monokuma shook its head back in focus and turned to the survivors, ready to resume its original plan: kill them.

The bear charged and was blocked by Mukuro.

"Where's the elevator?!" she yelled as she kicked the robot away.

"It was right there! Where did it go?!" Leon exclaimed as he helped Naegi stand up.

Then the doors started to open again and two blue shining eyes attached to an armored silhouette were visible, stunning everyone once more.

The Monokuma charged towards them and the silhouette moved as fast, if not faster than the Ultimate Soldier as it struck the mechanical bear before Mukuro.

"Uh. So a normal unit this time. Here." the newcomer, a woman, said as she threw three flashlight to the teenagers who quickly grabbed them and aimed at her.

She was wearing a black and orange armored clothing along an orange cape with a gas mask similar to the head of a rabbit, with long ears with black borders and an orange interior.

"Are you a-?" Togami started but was cut by an unsupportable laugh.

"Upupupu~" The Monokuma roared in laughter before launching itself against the armored woman.

But again, she deflected the incoming claws with a high kick.

"If it's a normal unit, a blue blade should be more than enough." she sighed as she started to look through her equipment while blocking each attack from the bear with her leg, sometimes she would punch its belly to send it away to give her more time to look for her weapon.

Everyone was so confused at what was happening before them: the Monokuma, that even the Ultimate Soldier had some trouble to deal with, was being handed easily by one person.

"Ah, there it is." she said before grabbing a long blue blade and kicked the two toned bear once more.

As soon as it was a few feet away from her, it was her turn to act as she danced the blade in her palm and with three swings of her weapon the Monokuma suddenly stopped moving. When it did, the bear was sliced in many parts and fell to the ground in bloody pieces.

"And that's done… but still greatly damage the weapon…" she sighed as she threw away the broken blade, "Is everyone okay?" she asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Good… Oh I see now, you're Makoto Naegi, aren't you?"

Hearing his name being called out startled Naegi and his friends. He slowly nodded once more.

"That explains how the elevator came down, I guess your data must still be in the archives."

"Ok! Time out!" Togami suddenly yelled, looking exasperated, "Naegi! You better start explaining!" he demanded.

"E-Explain what?"

"How is your data in a building like this? How do you even know this place? And how on Earth does the Rabbit Mercenary Team know you?!"

The woman tilted her head in confusion, she grabbed her helmet and took it off. She had short white hair and red eyes, but what really shocked everyone was that her skin was as white as her hair.

"You didn't tell them, Makoto Naegi? About this place?"

"I tried but got interrupted many times…"

The Luckster walked in front of the flashlights and everyone widened their eyes when they saw that his skin was as white as the Rabbit mercenary.

"Guys, we're in a Facility of

Lobotomy Corporation."
