I had woken up in what seemed to be a classroom. I noticed my surroundings and discovered that the windows were barred and not just barred but had barbed wire around them. I got up and walked out of the classroom to then bump into someone else who was being accompanied by two others. One had multicolored spiked hair a black tank top under a blue jacket and dark blue leather pants, while the other boy and messy blond hair a white t-shirt under a green jacket and wore blue jeans, and the girl that was with them had been wearing a purple vest, skirt, and shoes while wearing a white blouse and had long blond hair unlike the boy next to her.
"Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one here, my name is Andre Neromaki (The Ultimate Duelist.") I told them.
I then went to hold my hand out to the multicolored hair boy who introduced himself.
"It's nice to meet you Andre my name is Yugi Muto (The Ultimate Puzzle Solver.") He said.
"And I'm his best buddy the one, the only, Joey Wheeler (The Ultimate Lucky Student.")
"Well, I guess that's my cue to tag in boys," the woman said.
"I'm Mai Valentine (The Ultimate Queen,") she said.
"Well now that we got the introductions between us out of the way we should search for others," I said out loud.
"Hey good idea, I think I hear voices from the dining room I passed on the way before I found Joey and Mai," said Yugi.
We came into the dining room to hear nothing but complaining from at least three other people.
"This is bullshit. I have a multi-billion-dollar company to run, and I have to find my brother. I swear it's like I'm always having to look for him," said a man in a tall white coat with more flare to it than a race car.
"Kaiba, so you're here too." Yugi shouted.
"Yugi you're here as well and you brought your mutt Wheeler and the harpy reject herself," he said while chuckling at his own remarks.
"Wow I knew you were a jerk, but I didn't think you would be this bad in person Seto Kaiba (The Ultimate Billionaire,") I said to him.
"Well, well I guess my reputation goes even further than I thought if this random nobody even knows about me."
KAIBA, I heard a man who looked like Yugi shout at him. Except this guy was a lot taller and had a serious face about him.
"Eh what the two Yugi's, what's going on? Said Joey."
"No, we may look alike but my name is Atem and I'm (The Ultimate Pharaoh,") he said with a deep voice.
"If that is you pharaoh, why aren't you inside the millennium puzzle and connected with me?" Asked Yugi.
"Hey sorry if I'm being rude and interrupting but what about my introduction," said a very rash and brooding teenage girl.
I apologized and told the girl it was okay to introduce herself.
"Well thank you. And as for my introduction my name is Tea Gardner and I'm (The Ultimate Friendship speech giver,") but as she said this I fell over because I wasn't expecting that.
"And before you four walked in we were in a discussion on if me and Atem should just leave Kaiba here in the dining room alone for being a jerk to see if we could go find an exit. Since all the windows are a no go."
I then told the others I'd go search while they got to discussing what they already know about the situation. I walked into the main hall and saw two more girls. One with straight long auburn hair who wore a pink shirt and short Jean-shorts, and the other was a short blond with pigtails who wore a yellow sweater and was carrying a teddy bear.
Hey, I said without thinking, breaking the two of their silence.
Oh, it's another one except he seems nicer than Kaiba Serenity thought when her friend Rebecca stepped up to the boy.
"Um, yes?" I asked nervously as she then held out her hand.
"I'm Rebecca Hawkins and I'm (The Ultimate Archeologist,") she said in a cutesy tone.
The other girl approached as well. "Hello, I'm Serenity Wheeler and I'm (The Ultimate Moral Support,") she said.
"Wait did you say Wheeler?" "Then you must be related to Joey." "He's currently in the dining room with Yugi, Mai, Atem, Tea, and Kaiba," I told the girl.
"Really oh thank you for telling me my big brother is okay," she said and left Rebecca and Andre to go to where her brother is.
"Hehe well Rebecca I'll talk to you later I have to go see if there are others around."
She said alright and went to follow Serenity and left Andre alone.
I then turned my attention to what was a dormitory to find four more people that I went to approach.
"Uh hey are you four looking for the others or a way out because everyone else is in the dining hall," I told them.
"Hehehe, oh look another newbie I bet he can't duel as much as he can't dress," said a boy with teal hair in a bowl shape but like a beetle who wore a green shirt with a bug on it and dark brown cargo shorts.
"Yeah, this guy looks like he wouldn't make a decent meal even for a chumpasaurus rex," said another boy a bit taller than his friend. He wore a red beanie, a black shirt, green button up, and a beige vest.
"Okay I didn't need this right now, but you guys don't need to be pricks." "My name is Andre Neromaki, the ultimate duelist," I told them.
"Ultimate duelist you please don't make me laugh shrimp," said the other person that was with them.
"Oh, I recognize you three now your Weevil Underwood (The Ultimate Bug Enthusiast,") I said to him then looked at the other two. "And your Rex Raptor (The Ultimate Dinosaur Pun Maker.") I then looked at the tall man with the American flag on his head. "Your Bandit Keith (The Ultimate Bandit.")
"Well, well aren't we popular huh," said Keith.
I then looked at the woman behind the three guys and she was tall, tan skinned, really beautiful and dressed like an Egyptian princess.
"Uh hello ma'am I'm Andre Neromaki the ultimate duelist," I told her.
She looked at me with a somber look that said she wasn't sad or scared or depressed, just an emotionless stare.
"I'm Ishizu Ishtar and it would be wise to be careful around this place. By the way my talent is being (The Ultimate Tomb Keeper,") she said.
After meeting the three pricks over by the dorms and talking to Ishizu I decided to head for the dining room to see if the others were done discussing things. That's when I found two other girls and one boy in the main hall where there seemed to be a school store, a nurse's office, and a path leading to the gym. I then approached them.
"Um hey who are you three?" I asked.
"How about you introduce yourself first,'' said the girl with white hair.
"Oh, I'm Andre Neromaki, the ultimate duelist," I said to the white-haired girl.
"Well, I'm Kisara and I'm (The Ultimate Dragon Lover,") as she showed him a picture of her with all her dragon accessories.
"I suppose that leaves me then. Well, I'm Miho Nosaka (The Ultimate Waitress,") she said.
"And I'm Ryou Bakura (The Ultimate Game master,") he said looking just as confused as the rest of us.
Ding Dong Bing Bong
What the hell was that as we looked at a monitor that came to life but all we saw was the silhouette of what looked like well I couldn't even tell that much.
"Hello mic check one two this is a test of the schools broadcast system. Anyway, please make your way to the gym," said the voice on the monitor.
"Well, I suppose we should meet up with the others on the way there," I said to Miho and Kisara to which they agreed and followed me to the dining hall to get the others before going to the gym.
When we got there, I ran over to Yugi and Joey who were talking about what might happen since we're all confused and didn't know what was happening. Although I looked at Kaiba who seemed really irritated and was about to speak out, we were all cut off by a dreary voice.
"Why hello my students," said the mystery voice.
"Get out here and quit wasting my time whoever you are. I have a company to run and don't have time for this crap," said a very angry Seto Kaiba.
"Oh, very well Mr. Kaiba but until I finish you will keep your mouth shut and listen. Now without further ado I'll appear before you all."
We all looked to the stage and podium and then out of nowhere a black and white teddy bear came up and landed on the podium.
"Why hello I am Monokuma, and I am this school's headmaster nice to meet Ya," he said in a voice that seemed nonchalant but was chilling all at the same time.
I then approached the bear.
"Uh, Monokuma right, why are we here? And why can't we leave the school?" I asked him.
"Well since your way is more mannerly than richy rich over here I'll answer your question. You all will now have to live in this school forever because if you want out you must do one thing," he said.
"Oh, and what's that you build a bear reject," said an unfazed Joey Wheeler.
"Very funny Mr. Ultimate Lucky student but it's fairly simple, you must kill one of your classmates and survive the class trial," said Monokuma.
"K-Kill a student and get away with it," said a frightened Serenity.
As everyone contemplated what Monokuma said, said bear was passing out a strange tablet to each of us.
"This is the Monopad and it contains all your information as well as the rules so look over them carefully.
One by one we turned on our monopads and I saw it display my name and talent as I went over the rules.
Rule 1: Students must live at the Ultimate Academy for the remainder of their foreseeable future.
Rule #2: Once a murder takes place, all surviving students must participate in a class trial.
Rule #3: If the blackened is exposed during the class trial, they alone will be executed.
Rule #4: If the blackened is not exposed, all remaining students will be executed.
Rule #5: If the blackened survives the class trial, they will graduate and re-enter the outside world.
Rule #6: The killing game and class trials will continue until only two surviving students remain.
Rule #7: "Nighttime" is from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. The dining hall and gymnasium are off-limits at night.
Rule #8: Violence toward Monokuma, the headmaster of the Ultimate Academy, is strictly prohibited.
Rule #9: Monokuma will never directly commit a murder.
Rule #10: Your monopads are very important items. Please do not damage them.
Rule #11: The "body discovery announcement" will play when three or more students discover a body.
Rule #12: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore the campus at your discretion.
Rule #13: students who violate these rules will be immediately exterminated by Monokuma.
Rule #14: Further, there may be new additions to the school rules according to the convenience of the headmaster.
"Now you can go have some time to talk amongst yourselves," Monokuma said before disappearing.
"Well, this is just fantastic. I can't believe I have to be stuck in a place with people I despise," Kaiba said.
"Well, you rich mook it's not like we all want to be in here with you either," Joey shot back.
"Guys, we need to stick together if we want to get out of here without killing one another," I told them.
"Whatever dweeb I know no one's killing me," Keith said as he walked off to explore.
I then told everyone it would be best to go to our rooms and then regroup in the dining hall as it would seem none of us have actually been in our rooms yet.
