Prologue 0-6: Major Plot Twist!...In the Prologue
The air is extremely awkward after Mei leaves the room. I excuse myself from the room, worried that Mei might do something she would regret. She may be an Ultimate, but she does seem to be younger than most people here.
"Excuse me, Shiro, but you seem to be missing something major! Beary major!" Monokuma shouts out. Before I can react, my vision goes black.
When I open up my eyes, the first thing I realize is that we are in the gym. I am surrounded by all the girls who are all up before me. Monokuma is up on the podium. He looks like his usual self, a bear that is half dark and light. A representation of the relationship between yin and yang, hope and despair.
...There is one unusual thing I notice though. All of us have been gagged and bound. All except one...Emilynn McKay. Especially since it seems like Emilynn is not here. She might have used her talent of luck to get herself out of this situation. Monokuma does have a bad track record dealing with those with that talent. It is a good idea to form some form of relationship with her since she might be the key to getting out of here. Every place has a way out, after all, and every Killing Game has a mastermind that needs to be killed to end it. Though now I am wondering now about how Monokuma even got Emilynn on this spaceship. Everybody actually, since spaceships are not exactly easy to keep hidden.
"Ahem, students, since you took a little too long to come here, I had to get my paws dirty! You better not do this again!" Monokuma gets turns on the projector that is on the ceiling and pulls down the screen behind him. "As you can probably tell because you're not idiots...actually, you are but that's beside the point...this is a Killing Game!"
I could feel a shiver run down my spine. Although I knew that this was probably another one from the start, hearing Monokuma affirm my suspicions only brings dread. Curious, I see how everybody else in this room handles the newly found information. Ichiko looks a lot like me, horrified but still keeping it together. Though I do not know if that is truly the case since I just meet her today. Etsuko is smiling and her eyes are filled with light. Asuka looks like she is still trying to process the whole situation, probably thinking that Monokuma is buffing. Mizore is the same way just more confused than confident. Mei seems to be more disappointed than anything else as if she was expecting something else. However, the last two girls are different. Natsuki's eyes are dilated and she is frozen in pure fear. Sachiko is clearly doing her best to stay calm, but she is noticeably shaking and trying to stop a few tears forming in her eyes.
"Now to reveal the twist of this new Killing Game! We're in space!" Monokuma exclaims. Nobody is surprised. "...Oh, and, um, how do I put this lightly? We're kinda all gonna die if none of you become the Blackened."
"...!" There are audible gasps coming from all of us trapped inside the gym. Though the most surprising thing is that Emilynn comes through the door, kicking it down like she is a hero in an action movie.
"Don't worry, all my damsels in distress...and Shiro, Emilynn is gonna to save you all from Monokuma! Tada!" she exclaims.
"...You do realize you're in a Killing Game, right?" Monokuma responds while rolling his eyes.
"Oh dear!..." Emilynn is shocked for a second. "Whatevs, that just means I'm a heroine of my very own video game right now! K, gonna stop all your evil plans!" She then makes her way to the person closest to the door, Mizore, and is about to untie her. Monokuma, however, decides that he has much more to say.
"Ahem! I got more to say so just shut up~" Monokuma snaps his paws...somehow...and a bunch of ropes comes out from underneath the floorboards. Emilynn tries to use her talent to get away, but luck is not something somebody can control. She ends up as stuck as all of us, just with her mouth free.
"IMHO, you're a dick, Monokuma." Emilynn tries to get her phone out of her pocket. She fails, causing her to pout.
"Now that all of you are damsels, I got to finish my little speech. God, I'm trying to help you guys! Anyway, we're about six months away from crashing into an unknown planet so you better hurry your asses since if you don't I'll kick all of you off and this planet doesn't have an oxygen supply. Puhuhu!"
"I hate it when video games have time limits," Emilynn complains. She is now trying to break free from her rope by using her teeth. Seeing this, Monokuma throws something at her, causing her to blackout.
"She's not dead. I don't have that kind of authority. Anyway, that's not everything! I made sure that you kids will totally kill each other. So, seeing the chaos of one gender schools, I separated the boys and girls from each other. And there's no way you can interact except if one of you commits a murder!" Monokuma continues to laugh when he finally uses the projector in the room. It shows seven boys looking back at us. They also happen to be all tied up too.
"..."
"Ahem! Stop wondering! I know they're hot but geez. People are going to be pissed at me since their OC won't be featured until chapter two." The screen turns to darkness once again. "Anyway, that freakshow Yuuki is considered the moderator. The both of them keep tabs on what's happening on both sides and all that jazz. You can visit them anytime you want...except when the boys are in there. If one gender is in one of the rooms, the other room locks...All this explaining is boring me to pieces. Since all of you are good little kids, you should all already know the rules of the Killing Games! Seeya!" Suddenly, some form of gas enters the room from all sides, causing all of us to fall into a deep slumber. The last deep slumber until the true horror of our situation begins.
Yeah, I know that this is a short chapter but this is the end of the prologue and all. Sorry that this took longer than expected. Sure, me and Rachelle have been experiencing problems with fanfiction really hating the Killing Game's Serenade (oh yeah, that is out. Check under the account LostOne'sWeeping). I've also been experimenting family issues but I decided to say screw them and continue living my life and do what I enjoy. So hopefully that won't happen again. :)
And, yes, the chapters of the future (including chapter two all about the characters with a billion free time events)...well, chapters...are going to be much longer, like the length of Forest of Despair. By this point you guys should tell that I like trying out new things. (when I finish the first chapter of the second trial of FoD, I will post a poll for FTEs)
With the prologue complete, I'm working on making a TVTropes page for this story as well.
Reviews~
mayurie-Yes, cookies! :D I give all of my cinnamon rolls a good amount of suffering. That's good to hear. Mizore is a lot of fun to write. She is like if Naoko and Hotaru had a kid. That's why the moment I saw them, I was like, I know I already finalized my cast but I'm adding them in anyway. Because I like having a lot of characters. Akita just likes having all the plot twists. Thanks. :)
TheRoseShadow21-Etsuko doesn't have the highest view on religion and can be overly blunt. The other atheists in this cast are like 'what the Hell.' Sachiko is love, Sachiko is life. It makes sense later on why Yuuki is considered to be a duet. Just imagine Etsuko reacting to them or even Mizore and Ichiko. Thanks because I love them so much. Thanks some more :D :D :D
Scissor-Snipper-Welcome to my writing, where there are always...weird mistakes. XD Remember everything in these stories. I love setting up little guns everywhere. Sachiko is love, SACHIKO IS LIFE. Mizore/zeroes is OTP. Yuuki is a better mediator than Akita. :P
TheUnkindledHunter-YEAH! :D Monokuma is like nope. Sachiko now loves you...and Etsuko hates you. Yes, this is Mizore without caffeine. One of the motives is that if they don't kill somebody, Monokuma is gonna give Mizore caffeine. Thanks. Cool, because I have a notebook like that too. :D Oh, don't worry...he won't show up. He will, however...well, I'm not gonna tell. ;) These students are smart, that's all I'm saying.
VioElcina-Yeah! :D Yep, especially since Sachiko is too much of a precious cinnamon roll. Etsuko is now fighting for your love. XD I have a twin and I'll say that we used to fight a lot when we were Yuuki's age. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddd.
zephryr-Welcome to the Committee Saga. Well, it is a lot better than when I started FoD. Akita used to go on and on and on...yeah, I learned and still learning. Shiro is not a Mei fan either. XD Ultimate Robot is best talent. I wish you luck with your story as well.
SanityRequiem-Oh hey me.
YellowtheWriter-And now he's suffering more. Sachiko is like don't give me death flags like characters in FoD! Especially in the comments! Etsuko gives no shits. They do...I'm not telling. ;) Yes, I ship Mizore/Mirabilis! Not like FoD where everybody and their grandma knew each other. Answers you will get...eventually. Because Hideyoshi isn't missing. ;) Because this is part of the Committee Saga. Questions are our bread and butter. That would be after the story ends when everybody knows everything about all the best girls. Those ships...are my favorite ships. Especially Is Incest (ha ha, that's a joke...please tell that's a joke XD)
