Author notes- Hello again reader, here is part 5 of the Prologue and should be the final part before ch 1.
Also once again sorry for the super long wait, had to take care of somethings going on in my life but I'm back and I made sure to make this part super long.
Just wanted to say a few things, I know in the game it said that the warriors of hope are all around 11-12 years of age but in this alternate universe they will be all 10 years old like Hikari to have them all in the same age group.
And also again I now have two beta readers helping me with the story so hopefully things get better with my writing. So thank you The Earthboundman and my other beta reader who wants to stay anon for now.

#########(Custom BGM Alert) Opening Song - Jigoku Shoujo OP 3 ###### watch?v=BpFBY9ML-2g
The next time Hikari opened her eyes she realized she was looking at what looked like a white ceiling. There was also a strong pleasant smell in the air, like the smell of lavender.
" Am I dead?" she asked in her mind, she blinked a couple times and tried to move her body.
She could feel that she was laying on a bed as she sat up, she looked around at her surroundings. The bed she was laying on was surrounded by blue curtains so she couldn't see the rest of the room. Hikari then looked down to see she was covered in a white blanket, she also noticed that she was wearing what looked to be a white gown with blue polka dots. She lifted up the covers to confirm this and she indeed was wearing a gown. Then next she saw she had a little bit of scars on her arms and legs that appeared to be healing.
"Am I in a hospital?" Hikari asked in her mind. Hikari took a moment to try and think about what happened to lead her here. The memories were coming back to her. She was about to escape her apartment prison but only because a bunch of robot bears called "Monokumas" were causing chaos, meeting a man named Byakuya Togami and his Platoon of Future Foundation Agents, people of Towa City being killed by those bears, the weird kids on the news, also her trying to finally leave but the plan had failed when the Future foundation's rescue helicopter crashed into the city and her being surrounded by those awful Monokuma bears. She still shivers at the thought of the creepy smile and laugh they had. Hikari was extremely surprised at how she was even alive right now after all of that, but then she had a deep frown on her face remembering all of the agents who lost their lives trying to help her. Now she could not help but to start to wonder how she got to this place.
"Did someone save me?" She asked in thought.
Hikari turned her head to the right and started to speak.
"Hello?" she tried to call out but she let out a cough as her voice came out quiet and had received no response.
Her mouth and throat both felt dry, it felt like she didn't have anything to drink for a while.
"How long was I knocked out for?!" Hikari asked herself. She looked back at the closed curtains again.
"Well, I can't just sit here wondering, I gotta get up and look around".
She pushes the covers off her body and leans over on her right to slide the curtains to the side. She then noticed she was in what looked like a hospital or infirmary were cabins filled with different bottles of medicine, next to her bed was a sink and a broom, there also appear to be no windows, and lastly the door of the room.
The door however did not have a handle on it.
"So, it does look like I am in some kind of a hospital". she said.
Hikari sits up and swings her legs over the bed to put her feet on the floor,she winces slightly feeling the cold tiled floor under her bare feet. She looked over toward the sink next to her bed and licked her lips.
"I should try to drink some water to help with my throat" she said in her head.
"Then, try to find out where I am." she said.
Hikari stands up from her bed but only to sit back down imminently after feeling a bit dizzy.
"Woah, I must really be tired". She said as put a hand up to her forehead.
Then suddenly, the door to the room slid open, startling Hikari in the process. Coming into the room was a young man with short wild white hair along with green cloudy eyes. He had on a red and green striped shirt with a black jacket, black pants, and black and red shoes. But the most bizarre thing he had was a metal collar on his neck with a chain attached to it, and he also had a red and black winter mitten on his left hand. The man looked at her with a relieved expression on his face.
"Aw, you're awake! I was starting to get worried". The young man said.
Hikari looked at the man nervously, unsure if she should trust the young man yet
"Oh wow, you look completely exhausted." the young man said with a smile on his face.
"But not to worry, once we get you something to eat and drink you should be fine". he said.
Hikari gave him an unsure look. "Um, who are yo-,"
she tried to say but started coughing a bit, her voice still sounding hoarse.
"Oh hold on a sec" the young man said as he walked over to a small box that looked like a mini fridge near one of the cabinets and opened it.
He reached in and pulled out a bottle of water. He walks over to Hikari and hands her the water bottle out in front of her.
"Here, this should help with your throat" The young man said.
Hikari looks at the bottle, then back at him uneasy. The young man noticed her hesitation and gave her a reassuring smile.
"It's ok, I promise nothing bad will happen" he said. Hikari continued to look at the man, still a bit nervous but took the water bottle from his right hand gently.
She unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to her lips to drink the water. Hikari had drunk half of the bottle and placed it on the bed after putting the top back on. She saw that he went to get a chair from across the room and walked back over to her to place the chair in front of her and sat down on the chair.
"Feeling a bit better now?" the young man asked.
Hikari nodded her head.
"Yes, thank you," she said quietly. Her mouth and throat felt much better after receiving the water.
"Good, now I'm guessing you are wondering where you are and who I am, yes?" the man asked.
"Yes," Hikari said,waiting for him to explain.
"Well I'll start with who I am, my name is not of importance, so you can just call me Servant" the young man said
Hikari gave a confused expression.
"Huh?!, Servant?" she said.
"Yes, that is my name," Servant said with a smile.
"Wait,why Servant?" Hikari asked, not understanding his name of choice.
"Because that is what I am, just a useless lowly Servant" Servant said continuing to smile.
"Um, ok?" Hikari said, still confused. Not getting why he doesn't just tell her his real name but went along with it anyway.
"I had heard this town would be safe, so I came here to get away from the horrible events happening in the world". Servant said but then he let out a sigh ,
"But that backfired when all of the riots in the city started happening here."
Servant continued his sad story.
"And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I got captured by them!."
He then looked up at the ceiling,
"I've seriously got no luck at all." he then looked back at Hikari.
"But because I pleaded for my life. They let me live as their servant." Servant said with a happy expression.
"I guess that's where the name comes from." Hikari said in her mind."But he seems way too happy about getting captured and made a servant"
"Oh, um sorry you had to go through all that Mr. Servant" Hikari said, trying to show she cares for his misfortune.
"Oh, no worries..." Servant passed off,
"They managed to find a purpose for someone as useless as me, so it's something of a win for all of us, but where are my manners? enough about me, let's talk about you", he said.
"You were brought here to my master's Sky Temple ship after your helicopter crash, you surprisingly only had some cuts and bruises, it's amazing how you are still alive after that." Servant explained
"But thanks to a classmate of mine's medicine, your injuries should be healed,though I was still getting a bit worried, you were unconscious for a full two day". he said
"What?! Two days?!" Hikari said in pure shock.
"Yes, two days" Servant said ,then he had a frown on his face
"Just enough time for the world to go into a disarray, it's sad really".
Then a smile appeared on his face again.
"Ah, but you're more concerned about yourself than the world right now, right?" he asked.
He continued to talk before Hikari could answer.
"You're probably wondering what's gonna happen to you, now that you are trapped here, in this place." Servant said with a small smirk.
"Wait! What do you mean by that? What's gonna happen to me!?" Hikari asked in an alarmed tone.
Servant just looked at her for a sec, then let out a big sigh with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Huh, what?" Hikari asked, confused.
"Ah, sorry, your reaction was so… normal," Servant said in a bored tone.
"I was hoping it would be a bit more… special." Hikari raised a brow at his comment, not understanding it.
Servant then looked at Hikari with an amused smile on his face.
"Ahah, you honestly don't have a single unique characteristic, do you?" he said
"What?" Hikari asked in confusion and slight irritation.
"But it's ok, this world is filled with boring children , no need to get sad about it." Servant said in a condescending tone, still with a smile on his face.
"Not everyone can be born special." Hikari was starting to get more angry than confused as Servant began to say rude things about her.
"Though I still feel a bit worried, I was hoping you would have at least something unique about you, Then you at least have a chance to win," he said
"But judging by your reactions ….I don't think you will stand a chance at all." Hikari begins to glare at the young man, her fists ball up at her side.
"Yes, an uninteresting,boring, and forgettable child having a boring and forgettable death." Servant said.
"HEY!" yelled Hikari in anger, she stood up, giving the young man a frightening glare.
Servant looked at her with a surprised expression on his face.
"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF INSULTING SOMEONE YOU JUST MET, HUH?" yelled Hikari.
"I HAD TO DEAL WITH BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM MY FAMILY, MADE A PRISONER IN SOME APARTMENT, THEN WHEN I GET OUT OF THERE SOME KILLER ROBOT BEARS APPEAR AND START KILLING PEOPLE, AND LASTLY I ALMOST DIED FROM A HELICOPTER CRASH" she yelled.
"..." Servant just continued to stare at her, not saying a word.
"I'VE ALREADY HAD TO DEAL EVEN PROBLEMS AND I DON'T NEED SOME DAMN REJECT SCARECROW CREEP SAYING RUDE THINGS TO ME TO MAKE IT WORSE" yelled Hikari again.
She was breathing hard after letting out her rant. "…" Servant once again said nothing.
"Well!?... aren't you … gonna say… something?" asked Hikari, still a bit out of breath.
Servant had an emotionless expression on his face, then a second later he let out a cheerful laugh. Which only made the young girl even more mad.
"What's ...so funny!?" asked Hikari.
The young man stopped laughing and gave her a happy smile.
"Oh good!, looks like I was wrong." Servant said
"It seems you do have some fire to you, looks like you might have what it takes to survive after all!" he said.
"..." Hikari gave no response to this as she continued to glare at him.
Suddenly, the sound of a ringtone could be heard, Servant reached into his pocket and pulled out a black cell phone.
"Ah!, hold on a sec." Servant said to Hikari as he answered the cell phone and began talking to whoever was on the phone.
"Hello?, … Is it ready?, … good then , yes… yes I understand to make sure she is ready by then" said Servant
Hikari raised a brow as she sat back down on the bed, listening to the young man talking on the phone.
"Ok, see you then miss mage." Servant said as he hung up the phone.
He stood up and put the cell phone back into his pocket.
"Good news, your meal is ready!" Servant said with a smile.
"I'll go get it and bring it back here,after you finish I 'll give you sometimeing to freshen yourself up and bring you some new clothes for you to wear." he said.
He began to walk over to the door slid open, but before he made his exit, he turned around to look at Hikari.
"Oh, one thing before I leave." Servant said as his expression turned blank. "
I wouldn't try to leave this room without me if I were you." He said.
"Otherwise, you'll be killed as soon as you enter the hallway."
"K-Killed!?" Hikari said in an alarmed tone.
"Don't worry, as long as you stay put you will be fine." Servant said with a smile once again on his face.
He finally exited the room and the door slid closed, leaving Hikari alone once again.
"..." Hikari just sat in silence, "Great,what's gonna happen to me now?"
10 minutes later, the door slid open again and Servant came in with a metal cart. On top of it was a tray of food. The food on the tray was a couple of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and mixed fruit.
"Ok, here ya go," Servant said as he pushed the cart over next to Hikari's bed.
He picks up the tray and puts it on her bed next to her, then he walks over to the mini fridge again and takes out a small milk carton. He goes back over to her and places the milk carton on her tray.
"Now try not to take too long eating." Servant said as he moved his chair over near the door and sat down.
"We only have a couple of hours before you have to meet my masters and you still need to freshen up and get dressed."
Hikari took a look over at the cart again. On the second row was a blue basket with some towels,a bottle of soap,and other items. There were also folded clothes and next to them were black shoes. After looking over the cart, Hikari thought now would probably be a good time to ask the young man about his masters.
"Hey… um Mr. Servant?" she started to ask.
"Who are your masters? Why do they want to meet me?" she said.
"..." Servant said nothing for a second, then he let out a small chuckle.
"Sorry… but it's a surprise,y'all see once we go and they will explain everything to you." he said.
Hikari had a small pout on her face from Servant not answering her question, but decided to let it go for now. She reached over to her left side to pick up the tray and place it in her lap, she picked up her fork and was about to dig into her pancakes when she paused for a second.
"Oh, Mr. Servant?" Hikari said.
The young man was doing something on his cell phone and stopped when he heard her call his name, he looked at her.
"Yes?" Servant asked.
"...Thank you" Hikari said.
Even though she was still a bit weary of him, he was at least nice enough to give her a meal and clothes.
Servant had a blank expression for a moment but then it changed to an amused one.
"Ah!… how nice of you to thank a worthless servant like me." said Servant.
"But, I'm not sure if you should be thanking me, I'm just following orders after all." he said.
"This guy is really confusing as heck" Hikari said in her mind.
She decided to not reply to his comment and began eating her meal. After about 20 minutes of silently eating her meal, she got up and placed the tray back onto the cart next to her bed. Servant who was on his phone at the time, saw this and stood up.
"Oh good!, you're all done with your meal!" he said.
Hikari nods her head.
"Well, I'll give you some privacy to get yourself ready then, I'll be back in an hour to take you to meet everyone." he said as he walked over to the door.
The door slid open, letting the young man walk out and then slid closed again. Hikari was alone once again, she lets out a sigh.
" ...Well, time to get ready." she said.
She turned around to the cart and reached under to take out the big blue basket of items to help her get ready. There were the small towels from before inside, along with the bottle of soap that was scented with strawberries, deodorant,toothpaste and an unopened toothbrush, hairspray, a brush, and a body towel that was buried under the other items.
"Wow!, there's some pretty nice stuff in here!" Hikari said in an amazed tone.
"Whoever these masters are, they must really want me to like them." she said.
She places the basket on top of the cart and goes over to the sink to turn on the hot water. As she lets the water warm up, a frown appears on her face. She looks up to the ceiling.
" Please don't let this day go bad… just let me finally catch a break… please!" Hikari pleaded quietly.
She looked back at the sink and reached out to feel the running water, she winced when felted how hot it was. She turned the cold water on to help cool the water down, once it was the right temperature she liked she began to get ready for meeting with Mr. Servant's masters. After washing up. She brushed her teeth, brushed her hair,and put on deodorant and hairspray.
Next she walked over to the cart and grabbed her new clothes and started getting dressed. After getting dressed, she looked around for a mirror to help inspect herself. Luckily, there was a long skinny mirror in between one of the cabinets. She placed it against one of the cabinets and began looking herself over. The clothes she was wearing were what looked like a school uniform, she wore an white long sleeve dress shirt, a green jumper with a matching green skirt,white ankle socks and black dress shoes( and yes she does have on underwear ).
"Sigh… not really my style but it will have to do for now." Hikari said.
"Wish I had some rubber bands to tie my hair up… and maybe even some shorts to go with this"
Then suddenly, there was a loud knock on the wall next to the door. Next she heard a voice call out.
"HEY… IS OK IF I COME IN?" the voice asked through the wall.
"That must be Mr Servant," Hikari said in her mind.
"OH UM YEAH IT'S FINE!" she called back.
The door slid open and Mr. Servant came inside, he looked at her and smiled.
"Why don't you look adorable!" Servant said commenting her.
Hikari looked away and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Oh... um thank you Mr. Servant" she said.
She looked back at him
"Um… is there anyway I can have some shorts or pants to wear?... and some rubber bands too?" Hikari asked.
"Oh , is there something wrong with what you have on?" Servant asked.
"Well...the clothes are ok but…. It just that…'' Hikari started to explain but stopped talking and looked down at the ground in embarrassment.
She wanted to tell him the reason for wanting to wear shorts or pants instead of a skirt was so that people wouldn't see her underwear. There was a time at school when a boy who was the bully of her class pulled her skirt up as a joke when she walked by his desk. Which earned him crying on the floor with a bloody nose after she punched him.
Servant looked at her with a brow raised and wanted to hear her explanation but decided to save her from embarrassment based on how she was acting.
"Well, unfortunately that was the only set of clothes I was given… sorry" he said.
"Ah, ok then." Hikari said.
She was disappointed but wanted to move on from the topic.
"Oh but I might have some rubber bands for you!" Servant said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out some rubber bands and a hair clip.
"Oh, great! Thanks!" Hikari said with a small smile.
"But why do you have those in your pocket?"
"One of my masters wanted some for herself and wanted some hair clips as well but it seems that I had some left over." Servant said.
Servant puts his hand out to her, Hikari takes the rubber bands and the hair clip as well. After about a minute or two, she now had two pigtails and the hair clip on the left side of her bangs.
"Ok I think it's time we get going now,two of my masters can be very strict when it comes to tardiness" Servant said.
"Ok," Hikari said.
She was a bit nervous, these masters sound like a they're a big deal The pair exit the room and enter the hallway, Servant leads Hikari to the right and down the hallway. But once they almost reach the end they see a Monokuma appear, Hikari jumps back in fraid.
"AH! A MONOKUMA!?" Hikari yelled.
She backed away trying to think on what to do, she didn't have her gun and she doesn't know if Servant can do anything either. Servant turned to her to try to calm her down.
"Hey hey, it's ok! it won't hurt you as long as I'm here" Servant said
Hikari just looked like he was crazy, she looked back at the bear and noticed that the monokuma bear was just looking at them and not attacking them.
"Huh!?" Hikari said in confusion.
"See!" Servant said with a reassured smile.
The Monokuma looked at them for another second then started to continue walking down the hallway, ignoring them.
"This is why I told you earlier not to leave the room without me." Servant said
"Oh…. I see" Hikari said, still a bit nervous as she watched the Monokuma.
"Yes, it would have been a very nasty situation for you," Said Servant.
"Especially since you don't have that gun of yours," Hikari quickly looked back at the young man in shock,
"Wait … how do you know about my Hacking Gun!?" asked Hikari.
"I don't mind explaining but let's walk and talk at the same please" Servant said as he started walking around the corner. Hikari began following him.
"The Hacking Gun you had was busted up after your helicopter crash unfortunately. but I was able to obtain another one found by one of my scouts, I tried it out myself to analyze its capabilities, and I must say that the gun is an impressive little machine!" he said with enthusiasm.
" A device that forcibly hacks machines by shooting program codes with electromagnetism… the functions on it were quite interesting!" Servant said.
"Functions?" asked Hikari as she eyed a Monokuma walking past them.
"Yes, the BREAK function on the gun seems to be the most powerful, it took out a Monokuma in one shot." Servant said.
"But the other functions have nice perks too, such as Knockback,Paralyze, Dance, and also-,"
Servant was explaining the other functions when Hikari cut him off.
"Woah! wait a second, I didn't know all those were on there!" said Hikari in shock.
"Oh, really?" asked Servant as they turned another corner.
"No, I just kept using Break cause it took out those freaky bears!" said Hikari, then she had a small pout on her face.
"I wish I still had my gun though." she said
Having the Hacking Gun with her gives a feeling of safety from the new world outside and protects her from the Monokumas. Unknowing to her, Servant has a big knowing smile on his face.
"Well like I said before, as long as you stay close to me you'll be safe from Monokumas" he said.
They were now standing in front of eleaver. Servant pressed one of the buttons and the doors opened,they stepped inside.
"And why are there Monokuma here exactly?" asked Hikari.
"Oh, they just help guard the Sky Temple as all." said Servant, as if it was a non issue.
He pressed another button and the doors closed, the eleavor began going up. " … Ok but ...why are they guards?" asked Hikari, still confused.
Servant was silent for a moment.
"Well. I can't really tell you that part, my masters can explain their reasoning for having them to you once you see them." said Servant.
"Is there anything you can tell me?" asked Hikari.
Her brow raised as she looked at him with a bit of annoyance on her face, not liking him avoiding her questions.
" ….The only thing I can do is to give you some words of advice," Servant said as he turned to look at her. " Ok, and that would be?" asked Hikari.
"Make sure you keep the same fiery spirit you had with me earlier when you meet the others" he said.
" Otherwise things will become very ….overwhelming for you." Servant said with a smile.
" …" Hikari gave no response, she was starting to not want to meet these masters of his.
The elevator let out a ding sound and the doors opened. The pair stepped out of the eleavor and what Hikari saw next left her mouth open in amazement. They were now at what seems to be a huge temple shrine courtyard grounds.
It had many statues, red leafed trees, and a small pond. Servant walked forward and went down some small steps, Hikari took a step forward but looked around a bit more.
On her left Hikari saw some people near another set of shrine steps. Her eyes went wide as she began to recognize them.
"Wait!... I know them!" Hikari said in her mind.
The people at the steps were the weird kids that made the news broadcast two days ago. The red haired boy, the boy with the weird mask, the girl with the lilac hair in a ponytail, the boy with blue hair, but Hikari didn't not see the green haired girl with the wheelchair. The red haired boy seemed to be talking about something and the other three looked at him while he talked.
Servant looked back to see Hikari was not following him.
"Hey, come on now, it's time to say hello." said Servant.
Hikari stopped looking at the kids when Servant spoke to her. She felt nervous but nodded and walked down the steps, and they began to walk over to the kids. The red haired boy stops talking when he spots the pair coming over and points at them, the others turn to look as well.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting." said Servant as he and Hikari stood before the kids.
"I've brought your special guest!" he said.
"Oh….is she the person that Monaca said would be joining our team?" asked the masked boy in a slow speech.
" KYAAAA! She is so adorbs!" said the lilac haired girl with starry eyes in an excited tone.
"What!? A girl!? Come on, she doesn't even look that tough!" the red haired boy said, complaining.
"Excuse you but what's wrong with her being a girl!?" Said the lilac haired girl in an angry tone with a pout, looking at the red haired boy.
"Cause we need more dudes on our team to help us look strong and cool! Nagisa and Jataro are boys but they're weak as hell! leaving me the only strong cool guy here" said the red haired boy.
The blue haired boy glares at the other boy for his comment.
" ...Well he's not wrong… I am pretty weak and useless… even I'm surprised to still be on the team." said the masked boy.
"If Monaca says that she could be a good candidate to join us then you shouldn't complain." said the blue haired boy, scolding the red haired boy.
"Yeah!, and you do realize what you said was so sexist right?...are you saying me and Monaca are weak?" asked the lilac haired girl.
"What!... no!... hold on what I meant was-" the red haired boy tried to save face but was interrupted by a new voice.
"Hey guys, please don't fight in front of our new guest… it really makes Monaca very sad. Mew."
Just then, the green haired girl in the wheelchair came around a corner and made her way over to everyone. She took her place in between the red haired boy and blue haired boy.
"Now no more fighting guys….we wouldn't want our new friend to think we're not fun to be around, right?" the girl who Hikari guessed was Monaca said to the other kids.
"Yes, my apologies Monaca!" the blue haired boy said,Slightly blushing.
"Yep, I'm totally sorry as well." said the lilac haired girl with a bright smile on her face.
"Yeah sorry" said the red haired boy looking down embarrassed.
" … Ah...sorry" said the masked boy, even though he didn't argue with anyone.
The kids finally turned their attention back to Hikari and Servant.
"Monaca is sorry you had to see that but we are happy that you are here Hikari Naegi!" said Monaca, throwing her arms up with a happy expression.
"Oh ...um nice to meet you-" Hikari pasused when she realized something.
"Wait….how do you know my name?" she asked, confused.
"Oh Monaca knows all about you mew!... I had Mr. Servant help take care of you after saving you from those awful demons!" said Monaca. "Demons?" Hikari thought in her mind.
Monaca noticed Hikari's confusion.
"Oh right…. you don't know who we are yet do you?" asked Monaca.
"Um…. I saw you guys on the news a couple days ago… other than that not really" said Hikari.
"Hey guess I'm a famous guy haha" said the red haired boy with a big grin.
"If ya need me to autograph your back for you just let me know" he said
"...Um...I don't have a pen with me but I can sign your back with my chisel if you want...haha" said the masked boy. Pulling out said chisel and waving it around.
"We also accept presents! I'm always in the mood for sweets!" said the lilac haired girl in a happy tone but then her face turned into a serious expression.
"But however salty treats are a no go! Those awful and vile tastes are never worth pulling in your month!" she said as she shook her head.
"Uh?" said Hikari, continued to look confused.
"Why don't we save that for later and get back on track please?" asked the blue haired boy. Lightly scolding the others.
"Yes, Let's all introduce ourselves to Hikari to help her feel more at ease mew!" said Monaca.
"Alright! Let's start with me, the awesome leader!" the red haired boy said, he stepped forward and looked at Hikari with a smirk.
"Like I said already I'm the super duper awesome leader that united the Warriors of Hope with a bang! Masaru Daimon! I always give 100 percent! My favorite class in school was gym, so they called me Li'l Ultimate P.E…. I'm the P.E. king who can do every exercise ever! I can run non-stop 24/7/365 is easy as pie!" said Masaru.
he continued his introduction.
"Oh, I almost forgot! My job in the Warriors of Hope is the Hero! and as the hero and the leader, I'm gonna be the new ruler of this town!" he said.
"That's impressive right? I'm the hero, the leader, and the Li'l Ultimate P.E!" said Masaru with a big grin.
"Oh… um yeah that's awesome I guess" said Hikari
" And I guess those are your favorite words to say too." she said in her mind.
"Hmpf….you're far too boastful to be a leader….a true leader is calm and dignified." said the blue haired boy, glaring at Masaru.
"But I am the leader!...we all agreed on it!" said Masaru whining , looking at the blue haired boy pouting.
"Only because you got lucky in rock-paper-scissors, haha." said the lilac haired girl giggling in her hand.
"So what!... I'm still the leader! ...I won the game so I'm still the leader… the LEADEEER!" said Masaru, stomping his foot.
"And you love to whine too." Hikari said in her mind sarcastically as she watched Masaru throw a tantrum.
The blue boy just shook his head and let out a sign before speaking.
"Fine, fine...you're the leader, now allow me to introduce myself." he said as he turned to look at Hikari.
"My name is Nagisa Shingetsu… In the Warriors of Hope I act as the vice leader and the Sage,when I attended Hope's Peak Elementary I was known as the Li'll Ultimate Social Studies,of course Social Studies is but one area of my expertises, I excel at all scholarly pursuits." said Nagisa.
"Wait! Hope's Peak?... you mean like Hope's Peak Academy!?" asked Hikari in a shocked tone.
"Yes, why is that surprising?" asked Nagisa, brow raised.
"Well…. I have a big brother who goes to Hope's Peak Academy but I didn't know there was one for kids too," said Hikari, rubbing her arm.
"Well you learn something new everyday!" said Servant with a smile.
"Silence Servant! no one gave you permission to speak!" Nagisa said in a cold tone, glaring at him.
"Yeah! No talking without the leader's persimisson!" said Masaru, also glaring at him.
"Oh yes, forgive me masters for talking out of turn" said Servant as he bowed for them.
Hikari looked on with confusion of the event that just happened.
"The heck was all that about?" she said in her mind.
"Anyway….who's next? Perhaps Jataro?" asked Nagisa.
"Ah….wait um….before I go can I practice inducing myself first?" asked the masked boy called Jataro.
"We don't have time for that, just quickly try to introduce yourself please!" said Nagisa in an annoyed tone.
"Oh ok." said Jataro. He looked over at Hikari and started talking.
"Uh….hi….I'm the priest ….Jataro Kemuri….and bird skin isn't yummy no matter how you cook it, also ….you know when you stare into moving bicycle spokes and you get all scared?... like for some reason you imagine how bad it would hurt to put your hand in!" said Jataro.
"..." Hikari just looked at him, confused by what he just said.
"Oh yeah...I also-,"
Jataro was trying to say but was cut off by Nagisa.
"You specialized in arts and crafts, making you Li'l Ultimate Art… correct? Moving on!" said Nagisa, losing his patience.
"Awww Nagisa…. I was gonna say that….ugh….my chest is all itchy….I wish I could scratch it raw and scrape my nails on it!" said Jataro, moving his body around wildly.
"Um….is he ok?" asked Hikari, very concerned and weirded out.
"My my… long speeches as always" said the lilac haired girl with a smile.
She made her way over to block Jataro from Hikari's view.
"It's like how long an elephant's nose is so long….but then again giraffe necks are long too….oh and also waiting for a plane takes too long, and golden week is too long!" said the girl as she happily listed many thing that take too long.
"..." Hikari was lost for words.
"Oh well anyway, don't worry about Jataro… he's a latchkey kid, it made him a bit mental." said the lilac haired girl, continuing to smile.
" ….Oh" said Hikari.
"But it's not like I dislike latchkey kids… some kids say they have magical powers!...oh isn't that awesome?, you might get caught inside a magical parallel universe!" said the lilac haired girl in an excited tone.
"Are you sure you're not a latchkey kid too?" Hikari said in her mind.
" Ahem" the sound of Nagisa loudly clearing his throat could be heard.
"Oh yes, sorry, let me introduce myself" the girl said.
The girl was suddenly a foot in front of Hikari an instant, which startled her a bit. The lilac girl did a small curtsey and began speaking.
"Ahoy! A girl! My name is Kotoko Utsugi and I play the role of a Fighter in the Warriors of Hope! you might think the Fighter would be a boy but nope! I'm totally a girl! said Kotoko.
"And I was the Li'l Ultimate Drama in elementary school but that was a long time ago, so I'll leave that part out," she said.
"But anyway I am so happy to meet you Hikari!" said Kotoko, with an excited expression.
"Um… nice to meet you too" said Hikari, still kinda taken back with how happy the girl was.
"When Monaca said that we might be getting a new member I was hoping that you would be a girl and look, my prayers were totally answered! I know I have Monaca but it would be totally refreshing to have another girl with us besides as you can see its turning into a real sausage fest!" said Kotoko as she jabbed a thumb behind her.
"Oh well I-"
Hikari was trying to talk but Kotoko cut her off.
"Hey, what's your favorite snack?" asked Kotoko.
"Huh, um I like ….strawberries," said Hikari,caught off guard with the question.
"Oh those are so good with chocolate!, my favorite snack are peeled chestnuts and my least favorite snack are unpeeled chestnuts!" said Kotoko.
"Oh...that's sound ….great" said Hikari
"Kyahaa!.. aren't you surprised? They're both chestnuts!" said Kotoko.
"Uh yeah… that is very surprising," said Hikari, trying her best to keep smiling. "Smile and nod Kari,smile and nod" she said in her mind.
"Oh! Did you know that kangaroos can jump backwards? Oh and believe it or not-,"
Kotoko was about to continue her sentence but was cut off by Nagisa.
"Kotoko!" said Nagisa. The two girls looked over in his direction.
"If you could save the girl talk for later so that Monaca can introduce herself, that would be great." he said with a deadpan look.
"Oh right!,of course!" said Kotoko, she turned back to Hikari.
"Let's talk more later!" she said.
"Thank you Nagisa" Hikari said in her mind.
Kotoko then looked over at Monaca
"Sorry for talking so much Monaca!" Kotoko said, with a sorry look.
"Aw, it's ok Kotoko… you're just happy like Monaca is… I'm glad you're trying to help Hikari feel welcomed!" said Monaca, smiling at Kotoko.
Monaca moved her wheelchair over to the girls and Servant, Kotoko moved back over near Jataro to get out of her way. Monaca finally stops in front of her Hikari, giving her a big smile and starts talking.
"Hello Hikari! Monaca is called Monaca! I'm the mage of the Warriors of Hope….Monaca was called Li'l Ultimate Homeroom in elementary school, for me my skill isn't really about uniting people, it's about getting all to help me!" said Monaca.
"You remember Homeroom, right?" Monaca asked with a curious look on her face.
Hikari nodded her head. Monaca's face lit up.
"Monaca loves Homeroom! The first hour of the day when we can share our thoughts….but believe it or not,I can bring together wonderful people…. And that is why even in the Warriors of Hope, I'm the life of the party!" she said.
"Oh, um, that really is amazing, Monaca" Hikari said, giving her a small smile.
Though she doesn't know why, she is starting to get a small uneasy feeling being near Monaca.
"Oh wait, we still need to tell you what we do in our group!" said Monaca.
"The Warriors of Hope are heroes who save the world from demons, isn't that amazing?" said Kotoko in a happy tone.
"Yeah…. we're a party of heroes that hunt down Demons….. but nobody really wants me in the group." said Jataro as he looked down at the ground.
"And I'm the party leader! ….which makes me the number one king of this town! Oh yeah!" Masaru said, crossing his arms with a big grin on his face.
Monaca reached over and grabbed Hikari's hands with her own.
"So what do you say Hikari Naegi! Will you become a member of the Warriors of Hope?" asked Monaca, with her eyes wide and a big smile on her face.
Hikari looked at Monaca, then she looked at the other warriors who were looking at her, (all but Jataro who was looking at a paint brush he pulled out) waiting for her though she can't see him she could even feel Servant looking at her from behind.
"Ok, they want me to join their club, but why are they acting like the world isn't going crazy outside? Aren't they scared?" she thought
Hikari was really finding it strange how they were all acting, and she was in no mood to play any hero games right now.
Hikari looked back at Monaca "Uh ….Monaca?" said Hikari
"Yeeesss?" said Monaca, waiting for her answer.
"Look….um….you and your friend's warrior club sounds really fun and all ….but I'm not really looking to join anything right now….sorry." Hikari said, having a sorry expression on her face.
"What….you don't want to join us?" Monaca asked, her smile replaced with a shocked look as she go of the other girl's hands,
"Huh? but why?" asked Kotoko, with a shocked expression on her face as well.
"What? you think you're better than us or something?" asked Masaru, glaring at Hikari.
Hikari narrowed her eyes at Masaru for his comment. "No! I… ok look ….I don't want to join cause I'm not in the mood to play hero stuff, ok?" she said.
Not understanding why they would be so surprised. Nagisa gave her a cold look
"Playing….hero?" he asked Hikari.
Hikari raised her brow at his reaction. "What's his problem?"
"Uh yeah!... all that stuff about heros,demons, and kings is all the movies, on tv, and in books and stuff….yeah know…. not real!?" she said, looking at Nagisa like he was nuts.
Everything was dead silent for a second after her comment.
"...Oh….oh no….Monaca didn't think that this would happen." Monaca said as she put a hand to her mouth, having sad eyes.
"No…. this,...this is no good."said Kotoko, looking at Hikari in pity.
"Ah….this is bad….really really bad!" Jataro said as he brought his sleeved cover hands to his head.
"She sounds like…. one of them." Masaru said as he narrowed his eyes at Hikari.
"One of them?... what are you talking about?" asked Hikari, confused by his statement.
Monaca began moving her wheelchair backwards to give her and Hikari some distance.
"Let me ask you this….would you still say we are playing hero if we were….Adults?" asked Nagisa in a cold tone.
"What?..even if you guys were Adults I-,... ok look! do you guys seriously not know what is going on in town right now!?" Hikari said
She was starting to get really frustrated with the group now.
"Of course we know! Our Monokuma's are taking care of demon trash! Duh!" said Masaru, in an arrogant tone.
"Yeah!...the demons are being chopped up like bloody cow meat….and their intestines falling out like sausages for the Monokumas to eat...haha." Jataro said with a creepy little giggle.
Kotoko turned around to give Jataro a scolding look and pointed her finger at him. "Oh knock it off Jataro! If you say stuff like that she'll think we're joking." she said.
She was already upset with how things were going and his creepy comments were not helping at all.
Hikari eyes went wide at what they had just said.
"Wait! your Monokumas!?" she asked.
"Yeah! Isn't it so cool!?...the Monokumas obey any order we give 'em!" Masaru said proudly.
"And it's all thanks to Monaca's magic!"said Nagisa, smiling for the first time but his smile did not seem like a normal one.
"Yeah, that's our Monaca! She can use magic even without magic circles!" Masaru said as he smiled at Monaca.
Monaca turned to face the others, giving them a big warm smile.
"Aw thanks boys! You guys are all so nice! mew!" said Monaca.
Causing Nagisa and Masaru to blush.
"Kyaaa! Monaca is sooo adorbs!, oh I just wanna smother you in syrup and eat you up!" Kotoko said as she started gushing about her teammate.
As the warriors fawn over their mage, Hikari looks at them with shock and horror at what they have just told her. She turned around to look at Servant to silently ask if this was real,he only looked at her with an amused look on his face. Hikari turned back around to see the group still acting like nothing was wrong about what they had just told her.
"No ...they can't be serious, right?,saying that they control those Monokumas….don't they know that those things are killing people!?" she in her mind.
The memories started to play in her head all those people being killed by those awful Monokumas, hearing thier screams,the Future Foundation Agents that risked their lives trying to help her escape to only die horrible deaths. Hikari just shook her head in disbelief, the feeling of anger started to replace her feelings of fear.
"HEY!" Hikari's voice boomed through the whole temple shrine. It caused the Warriors of Hope to stop their praising of the Mage to look over at the angry girl. It even caused Servant to let out a silent chuckle.
"You guys seriously need to cut it out! Right now!" said Hikari in an angry tone. She glared at the group, her hands balled up at her side.
"Huh? ...what do ya mean?...cut what out?" asked Jataro, sounding confused.
Hikari stomped her foot in anger.
"Everything! Obviously!...what those Monokumas are doing outside isn't something to joke about!"she said.
Nagisa gave her another cold look
"Listen here you impudent girl! What we do is far from being a joke!" he said in an icy tone. " Those Monokumas are our allies and they will help aid us in creating our paradise, so we will not be stopping anything till we reach our goal."
"Huh?...Paradise?" asked Hikari.
"Wait, didn't you see our message on the news?" asked Monaca.
"..." Hikari took a second to try to remember, then it came to her.
"You said that….you guys want to make a paradise ….for children?" said Hikari.
"Yep!, a paradise made of children, by children, for children!" said Monaca.
"Hell yeah! We're gonna kill all the adults in this town to make a paradise just for kids!...it's gonna be so awesome! no school or homework in paradise! woo hoo!" Masaru said as he raised arm in the air in excitement.
"Why must fireflies die so young…?" said Jataro, completely out of nowhere.
"And since our paradise is for children only, there won't be any more nasty pedophiles, either." Kotoko said with a smile.
"Oh wait, can we keep the ice cream person alive? The ice cream didn't do anything wrong." said Jataro.
The more the Warriors of hope talked about making their paradise, the more it made Hikari more confused and angry. She shook her head and spoke.
"Wh-what is wrong with you guys!? … What you're saying is crazy and horrible!...don't you get that!?" she said, narrowing her eyes at them.
Monaca gave a big frown at Hikari after her comment,Then suddenly, she started yelling.
"IT'S! NOT! CRAZY! IF! MONACA! WANTS! IT! THEN! IT! HAPPENS! THAT'S! HOW! IT! GOES!" tears began forming in her eyes as she whined, slamming her fist up and down on her armrest.
Her outburst surprised Hikari,looking at her in shock.
The other four rushed to her side at seeing their mage upset, they all had very nervous looks on their faces.
"Oh crap!, oh crap! ….Th-This is bad! Monaca's super mad!" said Masaru, hands on top of his head.
"I-Its going to be alright Monaca! Please don't get upset!" said Nagisa, he pulled out a handkerchief,trying to wipe the crying girl's tears away.
"That's right !...if Monaca says it then white is black, cats are dogs, and um….what else..? Said Jataro, trying to help calm Monaca but lost his train of thought in the process.
"Oh please, oh please don't get mad Monaca! Nothing about you is crazy!" said Kotoko as she patted Monaca's hand.
"B-B-But, Hikari i-i-is being really me-mean! Wahhh!" said Monaca, sobbing loudly.
"What!?, Mean!?" said Hikari in disbelief.
She was met with four angry looking glares from the other Warriors.
"HEY! HOW DARE YOU MAKE MONACA MAD!" yelled Masaru.
"So!,I don't care if she's mad!, its not my fault I dont think killing people is fun!" said Hikari as she crossed her arms.
"Apologize to Monaca at once!" said Nagisa in a cold tone.
"Yeah Hikari, you're totally not being adorbs right now!" Said Kotoko
"Uh-oh, ...you might wanna say sorry if ya don't wanna be hated like me...haha" said Jataro, letting out a weird chuckle.
"What!? No way am I apologizing!... I didn't do anything wrong!" Hikari said, standing her ground.
Masaru walked over till he stood right in front of her.
"Hey! You deaf or something!? Say sorry to Monaca!" said Masaru, in a low angry tone.
"And I said no!" said Hikari in the same tone, showing no signs of being afraid of the red haired leader.
After more of her defiance, Masaru reached out and grabbed a hold of her left arm.
"Hey! Let go!" said Hikari, trying to pull her arm back from him but he held on to it tighter, squeezing it hard.
"Say sorry!" said Masaru.
Hikari winced, his grip was starting to hurt.
"No! Let me go now !" she said, glare daggers at him, gritting her teeth.
"I SAID SAY SORRY!' Masaru yelled.
"AND I SAID LET GO!" Hikari yelled as she brought her right arm and gave the boy a nasty punch to the face . Causing him to finally let go of her arm.
Nagisa,Kotoko, and Jataro let out shocked gasps as the leader fell over onto the ground in front of them, Monaca looked on in silence with no emotion on her face.
Before Hikari could finish teaching the boy a lesson, Servant quickly grabbed a hold of her.
"NO!, LET ME AT HIM!" Hikari yelled, trying to get out of his hold on her.
"Please calm down Miss Naegi, you don't want to make it worse, do you?" asked Servant in a quiet tone.
"Oh my! are you ok Masaru?" asked Kotoko, looking concerned.
"Yeah… that looked like it really hurt a lot!" said Jataro.
Masaru stood back up, he had a really pissed off look on his face, along with a small bleeding cut on his bottom lip.
"Of course I'm fine! That hit was nothing!" he said as he wiped the blood over his lip. He then turned around to look at Hikari.
"Alright Piggytails! That's it! As the leader, I say it's time for you to get punished!" he said, glaring at her.
Hikari finally stopped struggling after hearing his comment. She looked over at Masaru, narrowing her eyes at him.
"A punishment!? Seriously!?" said Hikari.
"Yes, a punishment is indeed in order" said Nagisa coldy.
"Uh oh...Hikari's in trouble...haha….are we gonna make her eat bugs? Or maybe eat mud till she pukes" said Jataro.
"Or we could shave off all of her hair and make her wear super dirty and smelly clothes for a week!" said Kotoko.
"All of those sound super lame!...We have to think of a good one to teach her a lesson!" said Masaru. He closed his eyes to think, then he reopened his blue eyes with a big grin on his face.
"Ok! I got a good one!" he points his finger at Hikari and began to speak.
" For making fun of our group!, making Monaca upset!, and hitting the leader! I, Masaru Daimon! the Hero of the Warrior of Hope! Says that Hikari's punishment will be"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off by Monaca.
"Be a target in our demon hunting game!"
"Huh!?" said Masaru in shock, he turned to look at Monaca. The other warriors were just as shocked as him at what the Mage had just said.
"Demon...hunting?" said Hikari in confusion. Seeing that it seems as though Hikari has calmed down, Servant finally lets her go.
"Wait….Monaca, isn't that..." Nagisa was trying to but his voice was lost when Monaca looked at him.
"Hmm?" she said with an innocent look.
"W-Well… it's just that.." Nagisa once again lost his voice.
"Um….I thought we played the demon hunting with adults as our targets." said Jataro, sounding confused.
"and um….Hikari is-" Kotoko tried to say but was cut off by Monaca.
"Yes I know that, but Monaca is gonna make an exemption for Hikari." Monaca said. Her face had a cold expression, she continued to speak calmly.
"What she has said and done to the Warriors of Hope is something Monaca can not forgive, ….besides,can't you all see? she is already showing signs of becoming a demon...she's not a kid anymore….she is nothing but a traitor!"
"Huh?! Traitor!?" said Hikari,
"..." the others were silent.
"What? Do you guys think Monaca is wrong?" she said with an innocent face. But her voice was cold as ice.
"No! Monaca, n-nothing ….you said was wrong" said Nagisa, though he did not sound too confident.
"Y-Yeah, if you think that this is the best punishment, then we will do it!" said Kotoko, giving Monaca a big smile,but her voice sounded a bit nerious.
"Yeah! You're right!" Said Masaru, believing Monaca's words.
"...If Monaca says so, ...then it's true" said Jataro, also going along with it.
"Then it's settled then!" said Monaca happily , smiling again.
They all turned their attention back to Hikari.
"Well Hikari, as Monaca said before, your punishment will be to be a target in our demon hunting game!" said Monaca, still smiling
"So you're punishing me for telling the truth!? ….and what do you mean by hunting game ?" asked Hikari as she glared at the girl.
"The demon hunting game is where we release demons into Town City….they're the targets!...it's a super fun game where the Warriors of Hope fight to see who takes down the target first!" said Monaca, sounding extremely happy.
"Yep!, and our own Monaca came up with it!" said Masaru, smiling at her.
"Yeah...Monaca comes up with the best games!" said Jataro.
Hikari's eyes went wide as she finally realized what they meant by hunting.
"So wait….you're gonna try to-" Hikari tried to say but was cut off
"Kill you? Yep!" Monaca said. She clapped her hands.
Hikari suddenly felt a hand grab her left wrist and then seconds later, she felt something slip on to her wrist. She looked down to see a black metal wristband with a red monokuma eye on turned around to see that it was Servant who had put it on her, he also had something that looked like a backpack.
"W-What!? What is this thing!? asked Hikari in a panicked tone.
"This wristband is a custom-made device given to the targets of the game….it would be best if you didn't try to remove it, Any tampering with it and you'll go boom!" Servant said, still having a smile on his face.
"B-BOOM!?" yelled Hikari.
" Yes, and you're gonna need to wear this for the next part." said Servant as he put the backpack on a shell-shocked Hikari.
Hikari could feel her heart racing, her hands slightly shaking.
He stepped back from her once it looked secure on her and turned to give the other a nod.
"Yay! now it's time to start!" said Monaca, she raised her arms up in excitement.
"Alright! Let's go hunting!" said Masaru, hands on his hips with a big grin on his face.
Hikari got out of her stupter and looked at the group.
"What!? You guys can't be serious!" she said as she glared at them, trying her best not to sound or look scared.
"You've seen what we've accomplished so far….we're being completely serious." said Nagisa, narrowing his eyes at her.
" So it's five against one!? And you have Monokumas! How the hell is that fair!? Said Hikari, her face getting hot from fear and anger, she could feel the tears form in her eyes.
"Aw Hikari, don't be modest! Monaca already knows you don't die easily!" said Monaca, winking at her.
"The game isn't supposed to be fair for the demons! Or kid traitors like you!" said Masaru, glaring at her.
"And we're giving you a head start, you should be grateful for that!" said Kotoko, smiling sweetly.
"Wh-Why?" asked Hikari, her tears slowly beginning to fall.
"Why?... why what?" asked Jataro
"Why are you guys doing all of this!? Don't you see what you're doing is awful!?" asked Hikari, trying to understand why they are being so cruel.
"Isn't it obvious! We play the games because it's fun! Duh!" said Masaru, rolling his eyes.
"Fun!?...that's it!? You're doing it because it's fun!?" asked Hikari. Her voice in a low anger tone.
"You're only surprised because you aren't used to this way of doing things….this is just what we like, we do it because it's fun to us!" said Monaca. Acting like what she had just said was a normal answer.
"Searching for meaning in the meaningless is for adults….children are untainted by such futility, but it seems that you are already tainted" said Nagisa,with a stoic look on his face.
" But….to be honest, I would rather not play this game….there is still much more work to be done to build our paradise, yet here we are playing games" he said, shaking his head.
" Then why? ...why are you still doing this then?" asked Hikari, confused by his comment.
" Because this is Monaca's game….she said she wants it done, so it will be done!" said Nagisa coldly.
" ….Monaca is the princess!...and everyone on our team tries to grant the princess's wish!, haha." said Jataro, chuckling with a big grin on his face.
"And anything that Monaca loves, I love too!" said Kotoko, smiling sweetly at Monaca.
"So that's basically the situation." said Nagisa.
Monaca turns her head to look at Nagisa.
"Thank you, Nagisa….even though you're so busy you did all of this work for the sake of my game….Oh!, I know! I'll bake you some delicious cookies later! How does that sound?" said Monaca cheerfully.
" ….O-Oh! um ….that would be great, t-thank you Monaca." Nagisa said all flustered, he had a blush on his face, poking his index fingers together.
"Awwww! That's so not fair! I want some of your cookies too, Monaca!" Kotoko said in a whining tone, pouting her lips.
"Yeah! Monaca, what about me!? The leader!?" asked Masaru, also whining.
" …I want some too!...you can even burn them or drop them on the floor, I'll still eat them." said Jataro.
Hikari watched in anger as they argued over cookies.
"How can they act like what they are doing is ok!?...they're all a bunch of fruit loops!" she said in her mind.
While the others argued about who should get Monaca's cookies, Monaca had a look on her face, like she was in deep thought. Jataro took notice of this.
"...Uh, what's wrong Monaca?" he asked.
This caused the others to stop their arguing and looked at their mage.
"Well….Monaca was thinking about it and maybe I am being a tiny bit unfair to Hikari." said Monaca.
"Huh!?" said the other Warriors of Hope, shocked and confused.
Hikari was just as shocked as they were at what she had said.
"O-Oh!, so um….we're not going to….?" asked Kotoko.
"Weeeeell, I'm gonna leave that up to Hikari." said Monaca, smiling as she folded her hands on her lap and looked at Hikari.
"Huh?, leave it up to me?" said Hikari.
"Yep!, Monaca's gonna give you a choice….If you apologize about what you said and did to us, and also promise to help us kill of the adult in this town, then your punishment won't be to be a target in our game!" said Monaca
"WHAT!?, wait Monaca! are we seriously gonna let her join our team!?" asked Masaru, still angry about the punch she gave him earlier.
"She won't be a full member but she will be on ...pro-pro-." Monaca had paused in her sentence, struggling with the word she was trying to say.
"Probation?" asked Nagisa.
"Ah! yes! that's the word!...she will be on probation till she proves to us that she is not a traitor and is really trying to help our cause." said Monaca.
"F-Fine, but she needs to get on her knees when she saids it!" said Masaru.
" ….And bark like a doggy….haha." said Jataro.
"..." Hikari was speechless, "Well Hikari Naegi? ,What is your answer?...will you join our side and become our ally? ...or will you become just another enemy we have to kill?...the choice is yours" said Monaca, a cold tone with a creepy emotionless look on her face.
It took Hikari a second to process everything that Monaca had just said to her. Her options were to either say sorry and help them kill adults, or be a target in their hunting game and possibly be killed. Anyone in a terrifying situation like this would have chosen the first option. To just cry and beg for their life just so they could live, but Hikari was a very stubborn girl and was not one to back down so easily with bullies, especially when she knows that others could get hurt. So, she makes her decision.
"My answer…. is no!" Hikari finally said.
Eyes red from her tears but her glare that she was giving Monaca was strong and fierce.
"Huh!?' said Monaca, looking shocked.
"Foolish girl," Nagisa said quietly.

"I SAID NO!...NO WAY AM I GONNA APOLOGIZE OR HELP A PSYCHO LITTLE BRAT LIKE YOU!" yelled Hikari, pointing a finger at the young mage as her voice was loud and strong.
She continues.
" YOU WANNA PLAY!? FINE! LET'S PLAY! I'LL TAKE ALL OF YOU ON AND KICK ALL OF YOUR ASSES!" she yelled.
If looks could kill then Hikari would be 6 feet under from the furious looks she was receiving from Nagisa,Kotoko,Masaru, and Jataro. As for Monaca, she had a blank expression.
"Oh… I see… so that's your choice then." said Monaca.
"..." Hikari said nothing as she continued to glare at her.
########( End Custom BGM)########
"Oh Hikari, Monaca feels sorry for you …..the path you have chosen… will only lead you into a sad, lonely, painful abyss," said Monaca, her creepy blank stare still on her face.
"A what!?" asked Hikari, confused by her words.
"An abyss, a darkness gaping open beneath your feet….you are just going to fall and fall….can't you feel the pull of gravity?" asked Monaca.
"Oh wow!, you really are a fruitloop! What are you going on about!?" asked Hikari in an irritated tone.
"She means this." said Servant.
He pulls out a tiny remote control and presses one of the buttons on it. Hikari looks at him in confusion, seconds later she suddenly feels weightless. She looked down to see the ground she was standing on was no longer there, what was now there was a big square hole and it didn't seem to have a bottom. She looks back up at the Warriors of Hope with wide eyes, the feeling of fear quickly starting rising up.
"Bye-bye! Mew!" said Monaca in joy, waving at her.
And then seconds later, Hikari began falling down fast into the dark abyss.
She began screaming from the top of her lungs, Up above she can see the Warriors of Hope smiling evilly at her as fell. Hikari moved her arms around like a mad person, trying to find some way to stop her from failing but it was useless. Suddenly , she hears a loud buzzing sound and seconds later the sound of something opening up. The abyss she was falling in was lit up with light behind her. She was no longer falling in darkness but now she was failing in the sky. Hikari quickly turned her body to see that she was falling down toward the city.
"NO!, I'M GONNA DIE, I'M GONNA DIE!, I'M GONNA DIE! AHHHH!" she screamed in her mind. The strong wind roaring in her ears, her tears streaming from her eyes like waterfalls, her heart beating like crazy. The city was coming in fast in her sights, she closed her eyes, not wanting to watch her death.
"AHHH! MAMA!, PAPA, GRANDMA, BIG BROTHER! ANYONE!, PLEASE HELP ME!" yelled Hikari in complete terror.
Then suddenly, she hears a pop sound. Next she can feel her body go upwards and everything slows down. She opens her eyes and sees that she was longer failing fast to her death but floating in the air.
"HUH!?' said Hikari in shock.
"W-Wait!, what's going on!?" she asked.
She looked up to see a big white and black sheet was coming out from her backpack, helping her fall very slowly to the city.
"Wait! Is this a parachute!?" she said in her mind.
She looks back down to see that she was floating slowly toward a huge building, she can also see that her skirt was flying up and revealing her underwear.
"Gah!" a blushing Hikari squealed as she quickly used one hand to try to keep her skirt down while holding one of the parachute ropes tightly. Hikari coniuteed floating slowly toward the huge building, silently happy that she lives to see another day.
Meanwhile on the Warriors of Hope Sky Temple
"A CHILD'S EARS ARE!?" yelled Monaca happily.
"WONDERFUL EARS!" the other Warriors yelled back happily.
"A CHILD'S EYES ARE!?" asked Monaca.
"ADORABLE EYES!" the others answered.
"A CHILD'S MOUTH IS!?" asked Monaca.
"A GREAT BIG MOUTH!" the others answered again.
"AND WHY IS IT SO BIG!?" asked Monaca.
"TO GOBBLE UP THE DEMONS!" the others answered once again.
They all started to laugh happily, then moments later Monaca had a sad frown on her face.
"Oh! Monaca, what's wrong?" asked Nagisa, a worried look on his face.
The others stop laughing and also check to see what caused the girl to look sad.
"Well, its just that ….Monaca was really hoping that Hikari would join our team, and I got you all excited about the idea….I'm sorry." Monica said sadly.
"Monaca….you don't need to apologize." said Nagisa, not liking to see the mage this way.
"Yeah!, besides we don't need that kid traitor anyway! we can save all the kids without her!" said Masaru.
"Yeah!, and anyone who makes you upset will automatically be on my shit list!" said Kotoko, a pout on her face.
" ….I know you probably won't care what I think ….but I think we'll be ok with just the five of us." said Jataro.
" ….You guys are really ok with everything?" asked Monaca.
"Yes, so please don't worry about it, Monaca" said Nagisa.
The others smiled and nodded at the sage's words to Monaca. The mage frown turned into a big smile.
"Well….in that case, Monaca will make a change to the hunting game a bit, our new target will be worth an extra high score!" said Monaca.
"Ooooh!, then it looks like I'll win when I catch her!" said Kotoko, grasping her hands together with a big smile on her face.
"A game is different from reality…. So that means if I can actually win!" said Jataro, moving his body around happily.
"Oh! This is new! Jataro is so pumped!, but it also makes him super gross too! Hehe!" said Kotoko.
"Who cares about that!, at the end of the day the winner is gonna be me, the leader!" said Masaru in an arrogant tone, with a big grin.
"Now now, it doesn't matter who wins, just make sure you don't fight while playing the game!" said Nagisa, lightly scolding the others.
"Well anyway, ….do you guys wanna get a soda or something?" asked Jataro.
"Oh!, great idea dude!" said Masaru. He turned around to look at Servant.
"HEY! SERVANT!" yelled Masaru.
"Yes Master?" asked Servant as he walked over to the kids.
"Go and get us some sodas! And you better not take all day either!" said Masaru, narrowing his eyes at the young man.
"Yes of course, your wish is my command." said Servant, he bowed to them and began walking over to the eleaver.
"Hey guys, Monaca has to do something really quick….I promise I'll be right back!" said Monaca.
"Oh yes, of course Monaca." said Nagisa The others nodded as well,Monaca smiled at them.
She began moving her wheelchair and followed after Servant. She goes up a small ramp near the eleavors, Servant see her coming up and steps back a bit.
"You can take this one first young miss." said Servant, smiling at her.
"Aw!, why thank you Servant! It's nice to see you know your place!" said Monaca, with a big smile,
"Yes, I am nothing but a useless servant after all." Servant said.
Monaca wheeled over to the door and pressed the button, the doors opened with a ding and she went inside. Once the doors closed and the elevator started to go down after she pressed a button, Monaca began to let out a laugh.
"Ufufufu!" laughed Monaca.
" It's looks like Mr. Servant was right about you being strong-willed, but that's ok, Monaca loves challenges!...it will be more fun to watch you break down into despair!" she said."
I'm looking forward to it….Hikari Naegi!" said Monaca, a big twisted smile on her face.
Meanwhile, as Servant waits for the eleavor to come back up, he starts to talk quietly to himself.
"Yes, do your best, child of hope!... keep that fire of yourself lit and don't let it burn out." he said with an amused smile.
PROLOGUE END
#########(Custom BGM Alert) Ending song - Samurai Champloo – Ending Theme – Shiki No Uta watch?v=mQAfG3DgG7M
Author notes- Ok! that is finally the end of the prologue. Next will be chapter 1 /part 1. In that Hikari will receive a
present from a certain someone and will finally meet the other main character of this story, big sis Toko!. I also wanted
to say that I do not hate Masaru lol, I love this kid, I just wrote to him like how he acts in the game. And he was only
trying to scare kari into saying sorry to Monaca and him squeezing her arm was the only thing I could think of not being
too violent to her. I don't think he would go around hitting girls. Once again thank you for having an interest in my
alternate universe fanfic for Ultra Despair Girls. I'm also looking forward to reading your comments, seeing your
feedback helps to see if I'm doing ok or not. See ya next time reader!
Since Fanfiction net won't let you upload images on here there will be links to the art scenes I made for this chap and more will be below this text.
