Chapter 3 people!

Monokuma: You're starting this a day after you finished the last chapter. Do you never take a break!

The only time I take breaks from writing is when I have school work.

Monokuma: Tell that to the whole summer where you didn't write a thing.

You know what, I'm sick and tired of you being here. *takes out a giant mallet and crushes Monokuma* Wonder how long he'll be gone this time.

Anyways, without further ado, enjoy.


Three days have passed since the incident with Despair Syndrome and Makoto has finally been released from the hospital. While his arm was still broken and remained in a cast, Makoto was given the ok to leave and attend classes at Hope's Peak again, which he was happy about since he was bored out of his mind there. While his stay at the hospital was still somewhat pleasurable, especially with his classmates visiting him after class, he couldn't stand laying there and doing nothing. So once he was able to leave, he was probably the happiest he could be despite the broken arm and the stitches on his back from his stab wounds.

Right now he was in the hallways alongside Kyoko, who had stopped by the hospital as he was released, as they walked together to class. "Man, it feels good to be back in these halls," Makoto said.

"You haven't been gone that long you know," Kyoko said, "Only for three days."

"And that's three days too long," Makoto replied, "You have any idea how much I longed to be back here with you guys while I was at the hospital? I missed Hope's Peak."

Kyoko couldn't help but crack a smile at Makoto's response, "Well, in a way the same could be said for me. Class just hasn't been the same without you."

"Ah, you're just saying that," Makoto said while scratching the back of his head with his free hand.

"It's not just me who shares the notion though," Kyoko responded as both of them stopped in front of the door to their class, "Everyone else in Class 78 missed you."

"Really, even Byakuya?" he asked skeptically.

"He didn't show it, but we could tell," Kyoko answered, "Anyways, shall we go in?"

"Don't see why not," Makoto said as he opened the door. Once it was fully opened Makoto suddenly found himself tackled to the floor and caught in a tight hug by Hina.

"You're back Makoto!" she cheered happily as she hugged tighter, "We all missed you in class so much!"

"Hina… can't… breath!" Makoto struggled to say, "Also… you're crushing… my arm!"

"Alright Hina that's enough," Sakura said as she grabbed Hina by her shirt collar and lifted her off Makoto. "I apologize for her actions, she got too excited when she found out you were released."

"Oh no it's fine," Makoto said as he gathered his bearings and lifted himself up, "Just have to wait for the pain in my arm to go away."

"Woops, my bad," Hina said with an apologetic smile.

Kyoko let out a small laugh at the scene that just transpired before her and Makoto entered the classroom. Makoto was soon met with the whole class welcoming him back, saying how much they had missed him. Even Byakuya said that he was glad that Makoto was back, which really surprised him. Makoto didn't expect to be missed this much, which made him appreciate everyone even more. But then he noticed that there was someone missing from their class.

"Hey guys, where's Junko?" Makoto asked, noticing the absence of the Ultimate Fashionista.

It was Mukuro who spoke up and answered the luckster, "Junko had to leave three days ago for a photo shoot in another city. Although she wanted me to tell you that she's also happy you're back."

"Oh, well that's good to hear," Makoto said before he was suddenly caught in a headlock by Mondo.

"Don't think just because we're glad you're back means you're off the hook yet man," Mondo said as he harshly rubbed his knuckles on Makoto's head, "Just what the hell were you thinking?"

"I absolutely agree, what you did was completely irresponsible for a student of Hope's Peak and look where it has gotten you!" Kiyotaka reprimanded to Makoto, who was trying to escape Mondo's grip.

"Not to mention you still owe me for what you did to my ride!" Mondo added, rubbing his knuckles harder.

"Ok ok, I'm sorry, stop!" Makoto exclaimed.

Everyone just laughed at Mondo's treatment of Makoto. And while Makoto was trying to escape, he couldn't help but smile at the usual antics of his classroom. However, nobody noticed how Byakuya was slightly glaring at him. While he admitted he was glad Makoto was ok, he held high suspicion towards the luckster. His actions were very unusual of him, not to mention Byakuya didn't forget how he was associated with the Speedwagon Foundation. Makoto was hiding something, and Byakuya was determined to find out what it was.


After the morning antics and Makoto finally being released from Mondo's grip, class had gone by in a breeze and the day was already over. Makoto was just about to head out when Sayaka walked up to him, hiding her hand behind her.

"Hey Makoto, there's something I want to give you," she said.

"Oh really, what is it?"

She smiled as she revealed what she was hiding, which were a pair of tickets, "Two tickets for front row seats at my concert tonight."

"Wait you're having a concert tonight?" he questioned.

"Yep, I announced it yesterday to the class but you weren't here and I forgot to bring it up when I visited you at the hospital," she explained, "Anyways I was able to get my manager to give me these to give to you. You can probably go with someone, say a certain Ultimate Detective."

Makoto blushed at Sayaka's implication when Leon entered the conversation, "You had those on you Sayaka? Man, that's unfair giving them to Makoto."

"I'm sorry but were you in the hospital for three whole days, I don't think so," Sayaka said with a teasing smile, much to Leon's annoyance.

"Hey Makoto we're bros right, come on I'm sure you can take me along wit-" Leon was interrupted when Sayaka started pulling on his ear, "Ow ow ow ow! Sayaka please stop!"

"That's what you get for trying to peer pressure Makoto," she reprimanded as she let go of Leon, who was rubbing his now red ear.

Makoto laughed at the comedic actions of the pair, "Well thanks Sayaka, I'm looking forward to it." He pocketed the tickets and walked out of the classroom.

He roamed through the empty hallways of Hope's Peak as he made his way to his dorm. He thought about the tickets that Sayaka had given to him and wondered if he should ask Kyoko to go with him. Makoto figured she might be busy with a case or that she wasn't into these kinds of events, but he then thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

As he neared the student dormitories, he saw something coming towards him on the corner of his eye. Makoto turned around, just barely avoiding a large crystal ball as it went passed him. Now on alert, he turned to where the ball was thrown only to find that nobody was there. He looked around and was shocked to see the crystal ball coming at him again.

He jumped out of its path and kept his eye on it and saw it curve in mid-air right back at him. Makoto rolled out of the way before it could hit and took out Lucky Number as the crystal ball turned around again. "I use my backpack to block the crystal ball," he said before tossing the Stand and grabbing the arm of his backpack with his good arm.

When the crystal ball got close enough, he slid the backpack off his back and swung it towards the orb, shattering it on contact. However, some of the shatters dug into Makoto's hand, making him groan in pain. He took a look at his hand and winced when he saw the shards and blood on it. He looked over to where Lucky Number landed and saw it had landed on 7.

"Man I cannot stop getting hurt can I?" he asked annoyed. He picked up Lucky Number and looked down at the now broken glass ball, recognizing it as one of the ones Hagakure used. He looked around for any sign of his attacker but found nothing. He continued moving, now fully alert in case there were any attacks.


After a quick visit to the Ultimate Nurse and having his hand cleaned up and wrapped in bandages, Makoto had finally made it to the Student Dormitories. He was about to enter his room when he looked over to Kyoko's dorm. Remembering the tickets he was given, he decided to just ask her if she wanted to come.

It wasn't a big deal, just two close friends going to a concert together. That's all.

Lightly knocking on her door, wincing at how it hurt to that with his bandaged hand, he waited for a few seconds before Kyoko opened it.

"Oh Makoto, is there anything you need?" she asked.

"Hey Kyoko, there was something I wanted to ask you," he answered. Before he could ask it, however, Kyoko noticed his hand.

"What happened there?" she asked, pointing to Makoto's bandaged hand.

"Oh this… would you believe me if I said I tripped and scraped it against some rocks?" he asked, receiving a deadpan look from Kyoko, "Yeah I didn't think so, best to talk about this inside." Kyoko nodded in agreement and let him in, closing the door behind him. Both of them sat on the edge of her bed as Makoto explained, "So there's no easy way to say this, but I'm pretty sure another Stand User just attacked me."

"At Hope's Peak? Are you sure?" Kyoko asked concerned.

"Unless you can think of another way a crystal ball kept turning around in mid air, yeah I'm sure," he responded.

"Was it the same one as before?"

"No, I didn't even see the Stand or the User," he answered. "But I know for certain that there's another Stand User here at Hope's Peak."

"So even here you're not safe. You sure live quite a dangerous life Makoto," Kyoko stated.

"Tell me about it."

"In anycase, we should be more careful now since we don't know who it is," Kyoko suggested, "But I'm guessing that wasn't what you were originally going to tell me when you came to me, is it?"

"Oh right, yeah there is actually something else," he said, remembering what he wanted to ask Kyoko. He reached into his pocket and took out the tickets, "Sayaka gave me a pair of front row tickets to her concert tonight, I was wondering if you wanted to join me?"

Kyoko put a hand to her chin as she considered Makoto's request. As she was thinking, Makoto was slightly concerned at how long she was thinking, before she finally spoke, "I would be happy to go with you, Makoto."

"Really?" he asked surprised.

"Yes, that is unless you have someone else in mind?" she asked.

"N-No not at all, I'm glad that you want to come," he quickly responded.

"Great, then I guess I'll see you later tonight."

"Yeah, see you then Kyoko," Makoto said as he exited the room.

She watched him enter his room before she closed her door, keeping an eye out for anyone suspicious. There was a reason she accepted Makoto's invitation. Aside from actually wanting to go with him, it was also to make sure he was safe now that he was being watched. While Kyoko is unsure how much help she would be, especially since she still doesn't have her Stand, she'll still do whatever it takes to make sure Makoto is alright.


By the time it was night, the concert hall where Sayaka's group will be performing was already bustling with activity. There were over 10,000 audience members who came to see the group perform. Among them, Makoto and Kyoko had just arrived.

"Man, I didn't expect so many people to be here," Makoto said.

"Well it is to be expected, Sayaka's group is very popular across the globe so of course there would be many fans here," Kyoko responded.

"I suppose so," Makoto said, agreeing with the detective.

"Hey you guys!" they heard someone call out to them, turning around and seeing Leon waving at them.

"Oh Leon, should've known you would be here," Makoto said.

"Yep, like hell I would miss one of Sayaka's performances," Leon smirked, "Although I'm surprised you came Kyoko. Didn't take you as someone into idol performances."

"Normally no, but after Makoto invited me I decided to join him," she responded.

"Oh is that right?" he inquired while giving a playful look at Makoto, "Makoto you sly dog."

"I-It's not like that Leon!" Makoto quickly responded, his face turning red.

"Sure it isn't, whatever you say man," Leon said, "Well, I guess I'll see you two inside." Leon left the pair and made his way inside the Concert Hall.

"Shall we go in too Makoto?" Kyoko asked.

"Yeah, lets," he said, his face still a bit red.

They entered the Concert Hall together and made their way to their seats in the front row. They didn't have to wait long as the lights dimmed and the music started playing. Smoke came from the stage as Sayaka and her group rose from the stage, causing the whole crowd to cheer as they started singing. Makoto recognized this song as Negaigoto Ensemble, a song that Sayaka told him about a while ago. She explained that the song was about her hopes and dreams that she wanted to tell others about, and based on the lyrics he could understand how.

Makoto couldn't help but smile at the performance that the group was giving, and when he looked over at Kyoko, he saw that she was smiling too. He was glad that she was enjoying this, he was nervous that she might not like coming to the concert. But seeing that smile of hers, a smile that always made him happy to see, he knew it was worth it.

Eventually, the song came to an end and the audience cheered as Sayaka spoke in her microphone, "Thank you all for coming here tonight! This next song is a new one that I wrote about a very good friend of mine and I am very thankful for knowing them. So put your hands together for this next one, Monochrome Answer!"

As the next song began to play, Makoto thought about what Sayaka said and was wondering who she was talking about. Kyoko however, immediately knew that Sayaka was talking about Makoto. It was no secret to her that the idol held Makoto in high regard, and Kyoko would be lying if she said she didn't feel a pang of jealousy. But she didn't hold it against the idol, she knew Makoto longer so of course she would feel that way towards him.

Her train of thought was soon interrupted when she heard Makoto groan in pain. She turned towards him to see him gripping his bandaged hand, which was now leaking out more blood. "Makoto what happened?" she asked in concern, raising her voice so he could hear her through the loud music.

"I'm not sure, I felt something hit my hand really hard but I didn't see anything," he answered, wincing at the pain he was feeling on his hand, "I thought I would be safe here, but I guess that Stand User from before is here as well."

"We need to go then," Kyoko said urgently. Makoto nodded in agreement and they got out of their seats and made their way to the exit. Just as soon as they exited the doors to the outside though, Kyoko felt something hard hit her leg and she fell down, pain coursing through her leg.

"Kyoko!" Makoto cried out in worry.

Kyoko looked at her leg and that it had been bruised, but still useable. She quickly got up looked over at Makoto before seeing someone behind him, "Makoto behind you!"

Makoto turned around to see what it was only to gasp when he saw them.

"Glad I was able to get the two of you out here, it'll make getting rid of you so much easier."

"Leon?!" Makoto exclaimed in confused shock at the sight of the baseball star.

"You know Makoto if you just didn't fight back the first time then Kyoko wouldn't have to get involved in this," Leon said as he reached into his pocket, "But now that she is I'm afraid that she has to die too."

"Why are you doing this Leon?" Kyoko asked.

"Hmm, why was I told to kill you again? Oh that's right," he said as he took out a knife from his pocket, "They said to make you feel despair." He tossed the knife right at them but both Makoto and Kyoko were able to dodge.

"Kyoko keep your eye on it, Leon is able to control whatever he throws," Makoto warned as the knife turned around straight for Makoto, who ducked under it.

"Oh good for you, you were able to figure out the power of my Stand," Leon smirked, "It won't do you much good though. Perfect Game!"

As Leon finished calling out his Stand, a floating baseball with arms and a pair of shades appeared right next to him. The Stand had a red mohawk and grinning widely while holding a black electric guitar. "Let's get rocking!" Perfect Game exclaimed as it strummed its guitar. The knife once again turned around right for Makoto, who took out Lucky Number.

"I dodge the oncoming knife and run straight for Leon," Makoto said tossing the die, which landed on 13. Makoto was then able to move his head as the knife went past him, and he ran straight towards Leon, but he was still smirking.

"I think you forgot who else is here," Leon said as Perfect Game played on its guitar. Makoto gasped as he turned around and saw the knife heading straight towards Kyoko.

"Kyoko look out!" he warned. Thankfully the detective was able to move out of the knife's path before it turned around right towards her again.

As Kyoko prepared to dodge again, she felt something against her foot and looked down to find a lone brick. She got an idea as she picked up the brick and the knife got closer to her. Just as it was about to hit, Kyoko used the brick to block the knife, making it stuck on the knife.

"Oh damn that is one clever chick," Perfect Game said in awe.

"Now is not the time to be aweing her!" Leon shouted towards his Stand before feeling Makoto's fist on his face, "Damn man when did you hit so hard."

"Leon why are you doing this, I thought we were friends?" Makoto questioned.

"It's nothing personal Makoto, but," Leon started as he got in a pitching pose, much to Makoto's confusion, "Job's a job." He acted out throwing a baseball just as Perfect Game strummed its guitar.

Makoto suddenly felt something hit his gut hard, knocking the wind out of him as he was knocked back. He held his gut in pain before seeing Lucky Number beside him. He went out to reach for it, but it was knocked away from him by something before feeling something hit his broken arm, making him scream in pain.

"Makoto!" Kyoko exclaimed. She was about to run up to him but was stopped when something crashed in front of her, preventing her from moving.

"You just stay there Kyoko, we'll deal with you in a sec," Leon said before he continued pitching his invisible projectiles at Makoto, as the luckster was unable to recover from the barrage.

Unable to see the suffering he was going through Kyoko looked away, cursing herself for being unable to help. She wished she had her Stand, then she would be able to help Makoto like he has been helping her. She glared at Leon in anger when she realized something.

Kyoko noticed that her eyesight seemed to have zoomed in on Leon, more specifically at his hands. That was when she saw what he was throwing, air. Leon was somehow using the air around him as projectiles, and Kyoko could see them. Which means she can also avoid them.

This new resolve in mind, Kyoko ran straight towards Leon, who saw her coming. "Eager to die are we," he said as Perfect Game kept playing on its guitar as Leon kept throwing his air projectiles. However, now that Kyoko was able to see them, she managed to weave past every single one much to Leon's shock.

Leon was about to throw another one but Kyoko had managed to get close enough to land a hit on him, or more specifically for a fist that suddenly materialized to hit him. Leon was knocked down to the ground unconscious and Perfect Game disappeared.

Kyoko ran over to Makotoo who was struggling to get up, "Makoto are you ok?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm alright," he assured, looking at her before his eyes widened in surprise, "Kyoko, look behind you."

She did so and realized why Makoto was surprised. Right beside her, was a tall humanoid, feminine Stand with pale skin. The Stand had clothing very similar to Sherlock Holmes, including the cap. On its right eye was a golden monocle and it wore black gloves similar to Kyoko's. Kyoko was in awe at the figure in front of her.

"So is this my Stand?" She asked.

"Indeed I am, Mistress Kirigiri," the Stand replied to the shock of Makoto and Kyoko.

"Whoa, your Stand has its own personality," Makoto said, "That's uncommon for Stands."

"So if you're my Stand, what is it that you do?" Kyoko asked.

"You saw what I am capable of just now," the Stand replied as a smoke pipe materialized in its hand, taking a breath into it, "It was because of me that you were able to see the air that boy was throwing. I can see even the smallest detail, nothing can escape my sight."

"Whether it be a single drop of blood, whether to notice an object has been moved even a tiny bit, nothing can escape my sight. For even the tiniest little detail…"

"Can be the solving factor of even the biggest case," Kyoko finished.

"Indeed, you may refer to me as, Mystery Girl," the now named Mystery Girl said as her smoke pipe disappeared and she bowed, "And I am at your command, Mistress Kirigiri."

"A Stand fitting a detective, you definitely got a good one Kyoko," Makoto said.

"It appears I have," she smiled before looking at Leon, noticing something, "Hang on." She walked over to his unconscious body and pulled back his hair on his forehead. "Makoto, look at this."

Makoto came up to her and saw what she was referring to. On Leon's forehead, was a small device that resembled a bear's head. Makoto gasped when he saw the face of the bear, it's right half was white with a single black eye while it's left half was black with a red jagged eye.

"I know that face, that's the same face as the Stand I fought before," he gasped.

"So it seems they were responsible for this attack, using Leon as a puppet it seems," Kyoko said, "I thought he was acting strange, this isn't like him at all." She reached for the device and pulled it off of Leon to inspect it, but the moment she did the device started beeping and the red eye started to blink.

"That doesn't sound good!" Makoto exclaimed in worry.

Kyoko quickly threw the device as far away as she could just as it exploded. Her and Makoto had to cover their eyes from the blast, "Seems like the mastermind behind this doesn't want to leave anything that could lead us to them."

"Using our friends against us, didn't think it was possible but I'm hating who this guy is more and more," Makoto said.

Leon began to stir as he got up, holding a hand to his head. "What the hell happened, my head is killing me?"

"Leon, you alright?" Makoto asked.

Leon looked at both Makoto and Kyoko before his eyes widened in realization, "Oh shit you guys ok? I didn't hurt you or anything did I?"

"You remembered what you were doing?" Kyoko asked.

"Only barely, I knew I was attacking you guys but I couldn't stop myself," Leon explained, "You guys good?"

"Aside from being sore all over, I'm fine," Makoto said.

"Leon, do you remember anything else?" Kyoko asked, "Like whoever it was that put the controller on you?"

"Yeah I do but they didn't come up to me themselves," Leon answered, "They were controlling some robot bear that called itself Monokuma, thing stabbed me with some arrow before putting that damn controller on me."

"It's just as I was afraid of, they're awakening more Stand Users," Makoto said.

"And then mind controlling them to do their bidding," Kyoko said, "Whoever the mastermind is, they're certainly clever, that's for sure."

"I'm really sorry guys, if they didn't get the jump on me I wouldn't have been used to hurt you," Leon apologized, "Also, what the hell were you doing man, why didn't you stop me?!" Perfect Game suddenly appeared besides Leon.

"I was just doing what you were ordering me to do man, that's all," Perfect Game said.

"You didn't find it a bit off that I was attacking my own friends?!" Leon asked angrily.

"Hey man questioning our users isn't in the job description, we just do what they tell us," the Stand answered, "Good, bad, we don't care. We just go with the flow of our users."

"What kind of explanation is that?!"

As Leon and his Stand continued to argue, Makoto and Kyoko just watched in silence, unsure of what to say. Kyoko however soon realized something, "Leon, is your Stand able to detect people?"

"No can do little lady," Perfect Game said, receiving a small glare from Kyoko at the nickname, "I just control whatever Leon here throws with my guitar, ain't no way of finding anyone who's hiding."

"Then how were you able to find where we were inside the concert, with so many people is should've been impossible?" Kyoko questioned.

Leon's eyes widened, "Oh god, I just remembered."

"What?" Makoto asked.

"When that bear came up to me… I wasn't alone," Leon said.

Before they could ask for clarification, the three of them were forced to cover their ears as they were suddenly barraged by a loud screech. After about thirty seconds the screech came to a halt as they started to recover from the sudden attack.

"Seems like I have to finish where you left off Leon, just like my psychic powers said," they heard someone say, only to be shocked at who it was, "Just kidding, I just had good intuition that you would fail."

"Sayaka too?" Makoto inquired.

"Yeah, Monokuma got us both when we were alone," Leon explained, "Her Stand was how I was able to find you guys?"

"Do you know what it does?" Kyoko asked.

"Let me answer that for you," Sayaka said, "Siren's Sound!" Sayaka's Stand appeared right beside her, resembling a beautiful woman with light blue skin. It's hair was like Sayaka's, being dark blue and going down to her back. It had on a white gown and both of its eyes were closed.

Sayaka took a deep breath as both her and the Stand clasped their hands together in front of them before Sayaka unleashed another banshee-like screech, forcing them to cover their ears again as it went on. Soon Sayaka stopped screeching, "Siren's Sound allows me to control soundwaves, allowing me to raise the volume of my voice like so or as echo location, which was how I was able to tell Leon where you guys were."

"Wait, but how did you get out here with so many people inside?" Makoto asked, "Wouldn't that have made you suspicious?"

"Simple really, I used Siren's Sound to alter the soundwaves in a way that made everyone fall asleep during my performance," Sayaka answered, "It's amazing what soundwaves can do when altered correctly."

Sayaka got ready to do another screech, but Leon wasn't going to take it and threw an air ball at Sayaka. But just before it could hit she screamed and the air ball dispersed. "You may be able to throw air Leon, but sound waves can disrupt air," Sayaka said.

"You guys got any ideas?" Leon asked.

"She should have a controller on her like you Leon right?" Makoto questioned, "We just need to get it off her somehow."

"How do you suppose we do th-" Kyoko asked but suddenly found herself quiet. She tried to speak again but was unable to, seeing that Makoto and Leon also had the same problem.

"Don't think I'll let you guys talk to each other to strategize," Sayaka said, "My Siren's Sound just silenced your sound waves, so you'll be quiet for a while."

Sayaka let out another screech on the three, louder than before. As it went on, Makoto endured the noise as he took out Lucky Number. "I always wondered if my Stand's abilities work non-vocally, time to find out." he thought to himself as Sayaka continued screaming.

"When Sayaka stops screaming, I run up to her and grab the controller," he thought before throwing Lucky Number. When Sayaka stopped screaming, Makoto quickly ran towards her. But as he reached for the controller, Sayaka stepped out of the way and Makoto missed it.

Sayaka then let out another screech focused straight om Makoto who was sent flying into the wall of the Concert Hall. He fell down to the floor right beside where Lucky Number was thrown, landing on a 3. "Oh, terrific," he thought sarcastically.

"I suppose I should stop toying around with you three," Sayaka said as she walked up to Makoto, "It's been nice knowing you all."

As Makoto was about to get blasted by another screech, Kyoko summoned Mystery Girl to search for anything that can help in this situation. Both of their eyes then landed on the brick Kyoko had used earlier which still had the knife in it and she got an idea.

She took the knife out of the brick and grabbed Leon by the shoulder, causing him to look at her. Kyoko pointed at the hilt of the knife, then at the back of her head before pointing at Sayaka. Leon understood what Kyoko was telling him, nodding and taking the knife.

Perfect Game appeared as Leon got ready to throw the knife, strumming his guitar as Leon threw it. The knife spun as it headed for its target and just as Sayaka was about screech, the knife's hilt hit her in the back of the head. She turned around only to have Kyoko's gloved hand covering her mouth as Mystery Girl reached for the controller on Sayaka's forehead, tearing it off and throwing it before it exploded.

Sayaka stood still for a moment before blinking in confusion as Kyoko put her hand down, "Wh-what's going on?"

"Just relax Sayaka," Leon assured, now being able to talk again, "It'll come back to you in a minute."

Eventually, Sayaka remembered what happened and turned to Makoto who was just getting up, "Makoto are you ok?"

"I'm fine, just glad to see that you're back," Makoto assured.

"Not to ruin this moment but we need to talk about the bigger problem here," Kyoko said, "Seeing as how both Leon and Sayaka had their Stands awakened and were used against us, we should consider the possibility that the mastermind could do the same with the others."

"She's got a point," Leon said, "Monokuma said Sayaka and I were the first of many tools for their despair, meaning the others are likely to be used as well."

"Which means we have to be careful around them," Makoto said, "I don't like not fully trusting our friends, but it seems that will have to be the case."

"But when Monokuma used me and Leon, they said to do whatever it takes to kill you Makoto," Sayaka said, "Why you though?"

"I think they see me as a threat," Makoto said, "When I fought their Stand, they didn't know of Lucky Number's abilities and I almost beat them. My guess is the longer I stay alive the more of a threat I am to them."

"We need to find out who they are as soon as possible," Kyoko said.

"Hell yeah we do, and you can bet I'm going to help!" Leon exclaimed enthusiastically, "I ain't going to let them get away for using me as a tool to hurt my friends, this calls for payback!"

"Count as in this little group of yours!" Perfect Game said, strumming on its guitar.

"Me too, I want to help in any way I can," Sayaka said determingly.

"Whoever the mastermind is, they'll be sorry they messed with us," Makoto said.

"Agreed," Kyoko said, "For now, I believe you still have a performance to do Sayaka, but first may I speak to you for a minute?"

"Oh, sure," Sayaka said as she and Kyoko stepped away from the boys, "What is it Kyoko?"

Kyoko had some trouble speaking before she finally did, "Before you and Leon attacked us, that song you were singing earlier. When you said it was about someone special to you, was it about Ma-"

"It was about Makoto yeah, but not in the way you think," Sayaka finished with a smile, "The truth is, that song was a way for me to move on from my feelings with Makoto. I know he doesn't feel the same way towards me, and I'm ok with that. I'm just happy we're friends, he has helped me a lot."

"I see, that's nice to hear," Kyoko smiled.

"In other words Kyoko," Sayaka said with a teasing look, "You don't have any competition."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Kyoko responded quickly.

"Sure you don't," Sayaka said, "Anyways, let's head back in." Sayaka made her way inside as Kyoko just watched her in silence.

She huffed, "That girl can be just as troublesome as Hina."


"Well looks like those two couldn't get the job done, that sucks," Junko said after watching the whole fight on a tablet. She was lying on a bed in a room of an apartment complex, a stuffed Monokuma doll in her hands, "It would've been so despairful for Makoto to die at the hands of his own friends, but looks like that tonight is not the night for that."

The door to the room opened as Mukuro walked in holding a first aid kit, "Junko, it's time to change."

"Yeah yeah I know," Junko complained as she sat up, "Let's get this over with so I don't have to see your ugly face." Junko lifted off her short, revealing her torso to have several dark bruises and her chest and shoulder heavily bandaged and bloody.

Mukuro started removing the bandages off of Junko, "You're lucky to be alive, you got seriously hurt in that fight."

"I know, who would've thought little Makoto had so much power behind him," Junko said as Mukuro applied new bandages on her, "Wish I could see how he was like with that broken arm, but it would be suspicious if I had the same injuries he inflicted on my Stand."

"I doubt you would've enjoyed it, everyone was happy when he returned to class," Mukuro said as she finished.

"Ugh just hearing you talk about it makes me want to hurl," Junko complained as she put her shirt back on, "But anyways, it seems miss idol and the baseball player couldn't finish him off, and what sucks is that now the Ice Queen has a Stand of her own!"

"You plan on killing her as well?" Mukuro asked.

"Of course, in fact," Junko said as she grinned, "Having her die in front of Makoto would surely drown him in such glorious despair. Puhuhuhu, it's perfect."

Junko just continued laughing madly while Mukuro just watched her silently.


And now chapter 3 is over. Sorry this took a bit longer, these chapters might come out a bit slow since I need to plan them more. I know the main premise for each chapter, it's adding the details that lead up to it that takes a while.

Anyways, as I'm sure many of you will notice Lucky Number's true form didn't make an appearance this chapter. Well that's because this chapter was used to focus on the other Stands, including Kyoko's Stand which has finally been revealed. Let's talk about it shall we?

Mystery Girl is a Stand that is perfect for a detective like Kyoko. Mystery Girl is able to analyze the surrounding area with extreme perception, not missing anything. Kyoko can see whatever Mystery Girl sees, allowing her to gather any and all clues she needs. Originally I wasn't going to give Mystery Girl her own personality but for some reason, I decided to give her one and thus, she acts like she's Kyoko's butler. And yes, I gave her Sherlock's clothes just because! Her name is based off the 1988 album Mystery Girl by Ray Orbison.

Moving on to Leon's Stand, Perfect Game was one of the first Stands I came up for this story. Whenever Leon throws something Perfect Game can control the trajectory and speed of the object with its guitar. Think of it like Hol Horse's Emperor but with anything instead of just bullets. And as shown in the fight, Perfect Game can allow Leon to use the air itself as projectiles, so he always has something to throw. I also gave him his own personality just because I thought it would be great if Leon's Stand had a personality that always causes them to argue. Perfect Game's name is based off the song Perfect Game by the Thompsin Twins in 1981.

Sayaka's Stand is a recent addition but I figuredI would add it as I couldn't make a long fight scene with just Perfect Game. Her Stand, Siren's Sound, controls soundwaves, whether it be from Sayaka or from somewhere else. This allows Sayaka to raise her voice like a banshee, or take away sound for either sneak attacks or to silence the enemy from talking to each other. And if used right, sound waves can have different effects on people, meaning this Stand is one to be afraid of. Siren's Sound's name is based off the 2017 song Sound off the Sirens by Sam Tinnesz.

As for the controllers, well I had to come up with a reason why Leon and Sayaka were attacking Makoto and Kyoko. Honestly, these controllers were the best thing I could come up with. Also the songs that Sayaka sang were actual songs that were released. Seriously you can listen to them on YouTube, they're pretty good.

Anyways, got to say my favorite part of this chapter was when Kyoko's Stand appeared. I have been hinting at it since the last chapter and I hoped you guys like it.

As always, hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter and keep an eye out for the next one.
