The school is on lockdown, which makes things incredibly boring for both classes of Year 9 students. They get to hide all the way downstairs in the boring, dark basement.
"It's dark.." Chihiro whimpers.
"There's nothing wrong with the dark." Mondo reassures with frustration in his voice.
"W-what if there's monsters," the whiner continues. "But we're locked inside the basement and we can't get out."
"The real monsters are upstairs, alright? That's why we have to hide down here." he repeats himself.
"Oh, would you two get a room already?" Junko mutters. "This has been going on for at least 10 minutes and your disgusting love affair is sickening me," she rants; grabbing Mondo's arm angrily before Naegi runs in the middle of the two feuders.
"Calm down you two!" he scolded. "We just have to wait until they sort out everything."
"W-wait; so this isn't a drill!" Toko screams.
A visibly annoyed Yasuke Matsuda is ready to kill someone.
"WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Chihiro shrieks before actually breaking down in tears.
"Thanks, Toko." Byakuya groans.
"You're all scaring her... just shut up!" Mondo scolds, protectively wrapping his arms around Chihiro's waist.
"I still hate you all." Byakuya says. "In case it was unclear."
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Hiyoko screams, causing silence; except for a few sobs from Chihiro. Her dark satanic aura lights the basement up; there's clearly flaming anger in her eyes as she stomps her foot down. "I'm tired of all you idiots crying like babies; is there anything else we could do!"
"W-well...we could play hide and seek?" Mikan suggests.
"You're a whore." Hiyoko interrupts.
"Can we tell stories?" Mahiru suggests.
"You're a genius." Hiyoko continues.
Mikan is completely silent, but Mahiru looks proud.
"We'll go one by one then." Hiyoko orders.
"I hate everything." Togami mutters.
This is the collection of all the stories told at the Hope's Peak Lockdown; as told by the freshmen students.
