Hey everyone I am finally back after my long hiatus, I just wanted to take a break on this story and work on something else and now I'm back I'll try to go back and forth between stories and try not to make the wait to long but I can't guarantee that also my poll is still open for you guys to vote on who dies, I'm trying to give you guys the option on how this story goes and I am intrigued on how it plays out becase as far as I know no one else has done something like this before, I wish you all well and lets get on with the story.
A/N: Quick note I will begin each new chapter with the final paragraph of the previous chapter.
Ichiro POV
Trial Room
No one knew what to say, I mean who would. A girl who may have been a brat but was still an innocent child nonetheless was just executed in front of all of our eyes. Everyone was silent even the asshole Byakuya was speechless. Everyone slowly and, quietly left for the elevator so we could all leave this hell hole. Once everyone had returned to the lift, it began to rise back up to the school. Most just stood there looking down at their feet or staring away from everyone else because no one wanted to view anyone else in the eyes realizing they commissioned someone to death that had a lot to live for even though they had killed someone else, not even a day earlier.
Everyone knew it was best to leave the trial room and get dinner then go to bed if you could fall asleep after that. For me personally, I was just going to fix myself a sandwich because I wasn't particularly hungry but, I knew it was best that I eat something. But, what I wasn't expecting which I probably should have was that the bear had left us a gift. On the table, there was a giant box filled with DVDs, each one with someone's name on it. There was also a note left there that Taka took upon himself to read.
"Dear participants of the Hopes Peak Killing Game, I have left you all a DVD with a video of your family and, friends on it. I understand what you all went through was extremely tough so, I would like to give you guys a gift. You are all required to watch this video before you go to bed as well. Love your favorite Bear." Taka finished.
"Hey that's great he isn't that bad." Aoi cheerfully stated.
"Yeah I'm calling bullshit, this bear has never been kind to us so why would he start now," Leon argued.
"Agreed, this is a game he would keep it as such," Byakuya affirmed.
"Someone should watch theirs and see what's inside," Sakura suggested.
No one said a word because no one wanted to volunteer but, I stepped up knowing that there was a large number of people in the room that may not be able to handle what could be in that disc. "I'll do it," I turned my way, some were glad that they didn't have to do it and, that I volunteered others seemed disappointed probably because they wanted to do it instead or maybe they wanted someone else to do it but, at that moment I didn't care I knew that I should be the one to do it because I felt that I was a fundamental factor in Hiyoko's death.
I walked up to the box and, picked out my disc which was near the top so, it didn't take long to find. I then silently walked my way to the A.V. Room since that was the only place where you could use the discs. No one followed me to the room in question and, I was kind of glad because whatever is on this disc is clearly personal and, it's definitely better if no one else sees it. I walked to the room which seemed like it was miles away, I dreaded watching this because I mean who would want to watch a video put together by a robotic bear who is forcing everyone in the school to kill each other I mean if that doesn't spell psychopath I don't know what does. I went to a seat towards the back right corner inside the A.V. Room and put my disc inside the D.V.D tray and switched the computer on and pressed play.
The video began with my mom sitting on a couch inside of our house. She had brown hair down to her shoulders and, wearing a black sweater as well as brown khaki pants with black dress shoes to complete the look. She looked as if she were going to work honestly. As far as I knew, she was still living in that same house. Then she began to speak, "Cole I am so, happy for you, what you have done in spite of what has gone on in your life, I am remarkably proud of your accomplishments, and what you have done with your opportunities. Everyone is cheering for you and Becky we hope you all succeed in Japan and Hopes Peak." The screen then went black but, not even five seconds later it turned back on showing a burnt house with massive holes in the wall and couch and what looked like blood on the floor. Then a message appeared on the screen saying, "If you want to find out if your friends and family are still alive you will have to graduate," I was in shock, that bear had something coming and, it wasn't going to be pretty. I just sat there not knowing what to do or say and, I must have been there for a while because I could hear the others coming down the hall now.
I then got up and, immediately felt anger course through my veins and, my first thought was to grab that disc and, throw it against the nearest wall. Right as the door to the room opened, I threw the circular object against the adjacent wall shattering the disc into a million pieces and in its place stood an absolutely shocked Ryoko and Taka.
Ryoko POV
Cafeteria 6:03 PM
"Its been almost fifteen minutes now, shouldn't he be back now," Asahina worried.
"That is odd, I doubt the video on that disc is that long." Sakura mused
"Then why are we still here it's clear that he ditched us," Byakuya questioned.
"I doubt that how about me and, someone else checks on him," I suggested.
"I WILL GO WITH YOU MISS KATSUMI." Taka as always yelled.
"Ok yeah sure, Taka just try not to yell," I nodded.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I DO NOT YELL EVER, IT DISTURBS THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT," Taka yelled ironically.
"Ok whatever you say, man, Mondo sighed rolling his eyes.
We walked to A.V. Room because that was really the only place to watch a video on a D.V.D so we assumed he would probably be there. We walked down the hallway and, eventually got to the A.V. Room expecting to see an Ichiro sitting and, watching something, but instead we got a disc thrown right at us. When we turned to see where the disc came from, we saw an angry Ichiro standing there looking like he was going to kill something. My guess is that that disc contained something that, made him lose it mentally.
"Ichiro what the hell man, that could have hit us," I yelled.
"ICHIRO THAT IS NOT FIT FOR A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT," Taka complained.
"I'm sorry about that but, what I saw is something that, no teen should ever see," Ichiro sighed.
"WHAT DID YOU SEE," Taka questioned.
"I think it's best I explain to the whole group," Ichiro said.
We nodded in agreement and decided to head bake to the cafeteria where all of the students waited for our return. Some looked irritated others looked concerned and others upset, after the previous trial and what seemed like a new motive right off the bat, everyone was on differing ends of the emotional spectrum
.
"So Ichiro man what did you see, you were in there for an awfully long time," Kaito asked.
"It was horrific what I saw was terrifying," Ichiro explained.
"W-what do you mean," Mikan asked.
"First it started all cheery I saw my mom sitting in our old home and, she was congratulating me for getting accepted into this school, then the screen went black..." I began
"Well that doesn't sound bad," The ever-optimistic Aoi interrupted.
"I'm not done, Then the screen turned back on and, showed a scary sight, it showed my house on fire with holes in the wall, couch, floor, and everything, and not only that but, there seemed to be blood on the floor as well and, there was a message at the end saying that if you want to see your family alive then you will have to wait until after graduation." Ichiro finished.
"That is a lot to take in, do you by chance still have your disc I noticed that you did not walk in with it," Kiyo queried.
"Well about that, I may or may not have thrown it against the wall in anger and, it also may have shattered into pieces as well," Ichiro answered sheepishly.
"Well I guess it doesn't matter anyway, it was your personal disc," Kiyo pondered.
"Hey, he never said we had to watch them, we can just burn these and, move on," Hiro suggested. But, before anyone could agree or disagree with Hiro's stupid statement, the bear popped out of nowhere to shut down it down immediately.
"Now now Yasuhiro, I think we all know that I would never allow anyone to skip a motive. So you lot better get to watching because if you skip out then, you can join Hiyoko and Teruteru in the clouds," Monokuma resolved. But, before anyone could complain to him about it, he disappeared laughing all the while.
"Ok, what the fuck, that bear is an absolute bitch," Mui complained.
"You said it, chick," Mondo agreed.
"Why is that bear so mean," Kokichi cried.
"Who knows, but what we need to worry about right now is these discs," Ryoma explained.
"Agreed, we should watch them in groups so, we aren't alone for the horrors in them. From what Ichiro has said these discs aren't going to be pleasant," Twogami explained.
"Why not send the groups that were formed earlier in there one at a time," Sonia suggested.
"I agree with miss Sonia," Kazuchi agreed.
"I would prefer to watch mine by myself," Byakuya stated.
"I agree, I don't want my personal life to be shared with everyone else," Maki replied.
"Why don't we take a vote for it, those in favor of watching alone raise your hands," Twogami suggested. Surprisingly the vote was in favor of watching alone but, considering the amount of "I guy" mentality people there are here it shouldn't be that surprising.
"Well, I guess for the people who want to watch with someone which is about twenty of you, you guys can watch your discs after the individuals who would like to watch theirs separately," Twogami stated.
Time Skip 1 hour
Cafeteria 7:56 PM
Ichiro POV
I decided to stay back in the cafeteria while everyone else left for the A.V. Room to watch their discs while I waited I decided to grab a protein bar that, was located inside the kitchen cabinets. I wanted to listen to music, but I was worried that they would come in and, catch me off guard. Suddenly a distraught and angry group of students came walking through the cafeteria doors.
"What the fuck was that," Mondo yelled furiously.
"That Mondo is what you call, a motive," Monokuma smirked popping literally out of nowhere but, at this point, it should be expected.
"What the hell do you want," Leon complained.
"What I want to tell you is that that bathhouse and, sauna are now open for your use," Monokuma exclaimed.
"So we have to kill and, host trials and for that we get rewards, you truly are sickening" Junko complained. "You know what I oughta just strangle you," She continued as she was about to lunge forward at Monokuma but, Sakura saved her before things went too far beyond repair.
"Now now, Junko. Do not do anything that, can get you killed. I know that he is immoral but, you cannot let anger consume you," Sakura calmly affirmed.
"No, let me go that, bear deserves to die," Junko yelled.
"No, he will just kill you, dear, it is not worth it.
"Fine but, I will personally make sure that I am the first one to punch you, got that," Junko threatened.
"Yeah yeah whatever you say blondie," Monokuma chortled.
"Hey don't talk to her that way," Kaede argued.
"I can't talk to you sad sacks of misery however I want because this is my school so my rules," Monokuma insulted.
"Just leave us alone you build a bear reject," Kaito yelled.
"Build a bear reject, how dare you, that's how you treat your headmaster, after all, I have done for you guys. Children these days are so ungrateful" Monokuma complained.
"Well I mean by putting us in a killing game you should have expected us to hate you," I stated.
"Yeah yeah whatever you all will be murdering like all those American serial killers that everyone loves."
"Whatever, move along now," Sayaka said.
"Oh, you don't care about American serial killers what about Japanese serial killers," Monokuma joked.
"There are people that kill cereal?" Gonta asked.
"No bud they are murderers and what Monokuma means is that there aren't going to be any of those," Kaito hopefully stated.
"Blah blah blah, screw your hope despair always has and, will prevail," Monokuma exclaimed before disappearing once again.
"Hope will win out I will make sure of that," Nagito quietly mused to himself.
"What was that Nagito?" Kaede asked.
"Oh, nothing Kaede just thinking out loud, sorry," Nagito answered.
"No need to apologize Nagito," Kaede reassured.
"Anyway, maybe we should all talk about our videos it could help us cope," Kirumi suggested.
"I would prefer to not to tell you plebeians about my personal life," Byakuya
"Seriously dude enough with the plebeian shit, just because you think your the shit doesn't make you the shit," Mondo exclaimed. Everyone just stared at him with confused looks on their faces because no one understood what he said.
"What Mondo is trying to say is that you are an asshole that has an ego higher than the Empire State Building," I explained.
"Sounds about right," Hajime concurred.
"I will take my leave now then seance clearly this is a waste of my time," Byakuya said leaving the cafeteria.
"Look what you guys have done you have made Master Togami angry," Toko complained, "Master come back!" Toko yelled chasing after her love of you could even call it that.
"She is a strange girl," Makoto mused to no one in particular.
"No duh Sherlock," Miu exclaimed.
"Anyway I also would prefer to not share my video as well, I would rather mull over my thoughts on my own thank you," Celeste said.
"I agree with her and if any of you try to get my disc I will kill you," Maki threatened.
"Oh come on Maki Roll don't be like that," Kaito attempted to reason.
"Do you want to die," Maki questioned
"Well no,"
"Then leave me alone," And just like that she left the cafeteria along with the others.
"Well even with them gone it's fine, we can all cope together and..." Aoi said before getting interrupted by Ryoma.
"You know kid, I like your attitude but, I think it would be best if we just let everyone cope with whatever they saw in their own way. If it means sharing or being alone we should all be able to choose how we deal with it." Ryoma mused before leaving himself.
"He does have a point, we should all be left to choose what we want to do," Keebo mused.
"I think that's a great idea, how about this for those that would like to share with the group, stay here and for those who would like to cope by themselves retire to your rooms for the night," Hajime said.
"It-think that is a great I-Idea Hajime," Mikan stuttered.
Most people like that idea including myself. Obviously, I had already shared my experience with the group and, I didn't feel the need to stay and, listen to everyone else's even though Ryoko felt that I should have I disagreed and left to my room to sleep. I felt the best way to cope at that moment in time was to sleep and listen to some tunes.
I put in the headphones and let the music play. Ironically High School Never Ends by Bowling for Soup started to play. I found it a little funny because even though my situation didn't really personify what the song meant it still kind of made sense given my age and where I am located in a school. I began to drift off into sleep and, I started dreaming and seeing visions of being in an assembly and, a man with purple hair and a black suit was speaking. But, instead of being in the crowd like everyone else Becky and, I was sitting in a pair of chairs behind the podium where the man was speaking. He kept gesturing to us as if he was speaking about us to what looked like the whole student body and school staff. But, what was odd is that everyone that was in the crowd was people that are in the killing game with us. I couldn't see who the man was but, he looked as if he was the principal of the school of former principal now. But, the dream wouldn't last long enough for me to get a clue of what was happening because at that moment there was a bunch of pounding and banging at my door. I put away my headphones and, grabbed my pocket knife and went to the peephole to see that it was...
A/N: Well that is it for now. I appreciate the support for the story and for you guys sticking by my long hiatus's. But sorry there will be another one but, you will still get new content from me on my Pokémon story and I will be rewriting some chapters most will just be correcting errors and fixing the flow of the chapter to make it smoother only chapter one will be getting a overhaul just because I can't stand reading it half the time. Anyway REMEMBER TO VOTE ON THE POLL IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO BEAUSE IT IS CLOSE RIGHT NOW AND IT WILL COME DOWN TO A TIE BREAKER AND IN DON'T WANT THAT. Also I have a beta reader now by the of Mysterious Aureliashipper. You should check out their stuff very good works. Anyway I hate to make such a short chapter in my opinion after such a long time but, I felt that it was a good length and, where I had it at the end felt like the best place to leave it and I felt that the motive itself deserved a chapter of its own and it didn't need a different mini plot or subplot taking away from it I hope to be more active over summer but no guarantees. I wish you all well thank you for the support. Also to help you guys keep track of deaths I will put a sort of list of who has died and how.
