In a car, Ibuki drove the others to the recorded highway as The Marine Checked his weapons and Ammo.
"Ibuki...are you really sure you know where you're going, or if you can drive at all?" Mikan said.
"Hey, it's basically the end of the world, one, and two, racing games were my jam, I got this." Ibuki said.
"By jam, you mean utterly losing right?" Hiyoko said.
"You kept ramming into me with that power up and you know it!" Ibuki said.
"Whatevers out on this Highway, we'd better be ready. The radio chatter seemed to be very specific." Mahiru said.
"A girl like a wild animal… a swordswoman, someone inuman, does any of this ring any bells?" Ibuki asked.
"The swordswoman? Definitely Peko." Hiyoko said as the Marine checked his visor. "Oh, hers is top one."
Peko Pekoyama
The Ultimate Swordswoman
Student Record: Quiet, Patient, deadly, works under student Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu
"If there's a war out on this Highway, doesn't that mean fuyuhiko gotta be leading the enemy's side?" Sonia said. "It seems like a mafia war now."
The Marine then checked the new info given.
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu
The Ultimate Yakuza
Student Record: Smart mouth, carries weapon and holds grudges, current heir to Kuzuryu Family.
"If Monokuma or whoever brainwashed us wanted a war, they've got it. Look at all this damage." Mahiru said before an explosion downed a helicopter and crashed into flaming cars.
"Watch out, watch out, watch out!" Hiyoko said to ibuki.
"Whoa!" Ibuki said veering out of the roadway and avoiding the tumbling explosive wreckage as they whisked by in slow motion like a scene out of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (See opening cutscene from Cordis Die).
"Is everyone alright?" Sonia said.
"Yep!" Ibuki said. "Still got the wheel right here!" she said holding the wheel, actually holding it cause it fell off.
"Oh no, the steering wheel!" Mikan said.
"Ah crud… everybody bail!" Ibuki said as they kicked out the doors and bailed before the car went over the edge and exploded.
"Oh great, there goes our ride…" Hiyoko said.
"We'll go on foot." Sonia said as they ran.
Highway to Hell
May 25th, 20XX
Japan Freeway No.52
Monokuma went into the com.
"Upupupu! Welcome to hell, kiddies! Youre in the middle of a warzone, and there's no way to go but through them. So...let's work on inscribing your tombstones!" Monokuma said as gangsters with Monokuma masks and shotguns appeared before them.
The marine wasted no time and went on a tear into the gangsters, spreading lead and downing the brainwashed men, also using throws and punches.
"That guy's a badass…" Ibuki said. "Okay, I'm not standing on the sidelines."
She pulled out her guitar, strumming it to find the flamethrower still worked. This made the remaining men retreat. The marine picked up the double barrel shotgun off of one of them and also found something unique, a raw piece of meat.
"Meee Atttt!" a voice said in the distance as something was running towards them on the edge of the highway. The marine looked at it from a distance before something popped up.
Akane Owari
The Ultimate Gymnast
Student Record: Powerful, limber, loves meat, seen charging you...run.
"Ah! If thats akane, were doomed I tell you!" Hiyoko said.
"Not yet were not! Hey, soldier dude! Throw that hunk of meat somewhere else!" Ibuki said.
Nodding, as hard as he could the Marine chicked the meat off somewhere else as whatever and..whoever was Akane dashed to the piece being fling.
"Oh… that was close…" Sonia said.
"Yeah. You threw a steam engine off the rails, nice work." Ibuki said.
"HOw are we supposed to stop it for good, though? Akane never goes down easy." Miharu asked.
"Easy. Use something that no one would expect to do against her. The environment." Hiyoko said.
The marine figured out a plan and the girls followed him as they beat on more gangsters and taking their ammo. They soon came to a place where it was clear and unstable.
"Oh yeah, this is perfect." Ibuki said.
The marine found another piece of raw meat. Nodding to ibuki, he tossed it up and Ibuki used her flamethrower to roast it to a good perfection as the marine caught it again.
"COme and Get it!" Ibuki said as something crashed down before them. It was Akane who drooled at the mouth for it.
The Marine tossed the cooked beef up and down, as if to say "come on."
"Is it a good idea for him to be doing that?" Mahiru asked.
As akane charged forward like a , the Marine tossed the meat high up into the air, pumped his shotgun and….
BLAM!
Everyone was stunned as the meat fell to the ground in a million pieces.
"Well….we're done for." Mahiru said as Akane screamed in anger.
The marine then gestures his hand out, body language saying " come get me."
As Akane charged at him, part of the road crumbled away as both her legs got caught in it.
"Ah!" SOnia said.
The marine dashed in and akane fell, he punched her straight in the face, knocking her all the way down, causing a ground bounce. Moving fast before Akane could recover, The marine grabbed her face with his left hand and flashed white.
"Holy crap, he actually got her!" Ibuki said.
The marine pulled her out but not before they were surrounded by gangsters on each road.
"Step away from the girl and you dont get shot!" one said.
The Marine didnt answer, rather just reached into his pocket and threw something right at gangster's face. It was another price of meat.
"What the…?" oen beside the one plastered in the face said.
"How is that gonna…?" Hiyoko said before they saw akane's nose move. "Oh, I get it…!"
"Huh?" the gangster said as they saw it to. "Ooooooooh, shi…!"
"MEAT!" Akane shouted as she attacked the gangster, distracting all the other ones.
"Ibuki, Now!" SOnia said.
"Burn, baby, burn!" Ibuki said strumming a chord as the guards held their heads after hearing such a loud strum.
Switching to his heavy assault rifle, the Marine spinned around and downed all gangsters with perfect precision. The meat piece sent flying through the air, the marine caught it and punched it into a gangster's face, tenderizing it .
"Hah! If that was supposed to hurt me…!" he said.
"Oh, that wasn't." Hiyoko said. "She is."
"Mine!" Akane said tackling the gangster as she ate her prize with glee. The marine knocked him out with another slug to the face.
"I have to admit… that was some impressive thinking." Hiyoko said.
"How'd you know Akane'd even smell that meat and spring up even while knocked out?" Ibuki asked the marine.
"Hm? What're you talking about?" Akane asked. "Hey, why are we on the highway, shouldn't we be in class right now?"
"Akane….it's like this…" SOnia said.
A few minutes of explaining later…
"What?! Us, brainwashed? Thats really freaky!" Akane said.
"Apparently, none of us even remember what happened after we went into that room during the Reserve Corps riot. I saw Chiaki...but it stops after that." Sonia said.
"And now we caused all this?" Akane asked.
"Pretty much, and this guy's been kind enough to save our asses." Ibuki said.
"Okay, so who's next to save?" Hiyoko asked before seeing an explosion, dozens of them.
The vizor then picked up a distress call.
"This is the advance unit for the Future foundation, we got trouble here with a capital T! This guy… he's unstoppable! Got some kinda spark in his eyes and….Ahhh!"
"Spark...Nekomaru!" Akane said.
The marine checked the data.
Nekomaru Nidai
The Ultimate Team Manager
Student Record: Powerful, always instructive, never gives up.
"Oh man, as if you were bad enough Akane, now we have to deal with that big gorilla?" Hiyoko said.
"We can't trick him like we did Akane." Sonia said. "Looks like this is gonna be a fist on fist fight."
The marine nodded as they climbed up to the higher levels of the highway. FOllowing the explosions, they saw the Future foundation troops holding out with the explosions they saw in the distance.
"Backup! Thank god!" a soldier said. "The leaders of the Foundation wanted us to try and take that guy in for rehabilitation, but they didnt mention he's a freakin monster!"
A body flew by screaming.
"Were pinned down here, and we cant get to that Yakuza without goin through him. Unless you got some kinda way to beat him, we're all gonna die." a soldier said before being tossed by Nekomaru.
"Oh boy…" Ibuki said.
"Yeah! You Future Foundation losers don't pair up with the Remnants!" Nekomaru shouted.
"I have a question…. HOW are we gonna beat him?!" HIyoko asked.
"We dont." Akane said. "We just fight em and snap him out of it while he sees our moves."
The marine signaled to himself and his gun while pointing to Akne to Nekomaru.
"Got it. I take em on, you cover me." Akane said.
"You understood him?" Hiyoko asked.
"Hey, its play signals not that hard." Akane said. "Here i come, Nekomaru!" she shouted charging at Nekomaru who blocked her kick.
"Akane, you seem to have forgotten about what it means to cause despair. Well, luckily, I'll break you back into shape after I crush your spirit!" Nekomaru said.
The Marine slided in and fired his Super Shotgun, blasting Nekomaru back with two bursts from the twin barrels. Akane then found an opening and kicked him again, pushing him back more.
"What kind of man uses firearms instead of his own fists? You aren't a man, just a coward!" Nekomaru shouted.
The marine seemed to understand that Nekomaru was fighting, but also using his words to tear into someone's spirit. But this put in the opposite effect.
The Marine threw his gun at Nekomaru's face, stunning him. He then dashed in and leaped onto his body, throwing punch after punch on him. Akane then tagged in and collided her fist with Nekomaru's, creating a huge shock wave. Distracted, Nekomaru was open to the marine, and was off balance after the collision. The marine grabbed him and drives him into the ground with a quad slam, using the weight of Nekomaru's unbalanced.
"Wow…" Sonia said.
"I dont believe it… he actually downed me." Neko maru said. "I thought at first that he was a coward….but wait, am I really the one in the right? No...I...I...I AM NEKOMARU NIDAI!" Nekomaru shouted to the heavens.
The marine went in before kane stopped him.
"I dont think you need to do that, he's reversing whatever it is thats got him on his own." Akne said. SHe was right as Nekomaru got up, back to normal.
"Wh...what happened?" Nekomaru said. "Oh right. That witch….she twisted my...Chiaki…" he said as he looked around. "Looks like a lot went down since then."
"Wait, Nekomaru. What witch? And what happened to Chiaki?" Akane said.
Nekomaru steeled himself as he spoke. "Chiaki….she's dead."
This shocked everyone.
"And the one who killed her….is Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Despair!" Nekomaru said in anger.
"She did." said a voice as a new group came up. "But she's gone now." said a man in white with white hair. "I am Kyosuke Monakata, head of the 2nd division of the Future foundation. My associates." he said.
"Future Foundation?" Sonia asked.
"The foundation thats trying to eliminate despair right from its very core." said a green haired man. "I'm Juzo Sakakura, head of the 6th division."
"You, marine. DOnt know what you did to these guys, but you rehabilitated their process in a matter of seconds compared to how we did it in the Neo World Program." said a man in red with lots of pockets. "I am Sonosuke Izayoi, head of the 9th division."
"You still have a job to do. Two more are here, Peko and Fuyuhiko. There just up ahead." Kyosuke said.
"Let's go." Sonia said as hey advanced. At the location designated, the Foundation and Fuyuhikos army stood on equal sides.
"I cant believe it…" Fuyuhiko said. "Ii didn't think anyone would have survived for this long."
The marine cocked his shotgun.
"Are you gonna be a considerable leader and give up? Akane and Nekomaru are back to normal." Juzo said.
"Not on your life." Fuyuhiko said as Peko appeared with her sword at the ready.
"Which one of them is first, sir?" Peko asked.
"Him. Take him out." Fuyuhiko said.
(Cue-Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - The Hot Wind Blowing)
Peko slowly walked out to the middle, pointing her sword ready.
"You believe your guns are faster than my sword? Then we shall see about that." Peko said rushing at the marine.
The marine kicked up a fallen car door and tossed it to peko who sliced it apart. As they were inches from each other, peko swung her sword in slo-mo. But in each second, the marine countered the blades attacks with his shot gun blasts. On the third counter, Peko was dazed and retreated back.
"What the hell? What're you doin, Peko?" Fuyuhiko shouted.
"Apologies, master. He caught me off guard, but it won't happen again." Peko said before seeing the marine was right in front of her. "What?"
The marine connected two hooks to her before giving her an uppercut that knocked her up and made her lose her glasses and her blade, wasting no time in grabbing her face with a claw move and pinning her down, curing her and putting her unconscious.
"I dont belive it… he actually beat her!" Fuyuhiko said growling. "Shoot them all! Don't worry about Peko, kill the marine!"
"Oh no you dont!" Ibuki said blasting fire and creating a wall of flames before they could even aim.
"Now!" Neko maru said as the marine dashed through the flames, not a single burn on him, scaring the soldiers and even Fuyuhiko.
"What the hell….is this guy?!" Fuyuhiko said before seeing his soldiers taken out. In a panic, he pulled out a knife and tried to stab the marine.
The marine grabbed the knife, and his face with both hand, successfully curing him and making the long battle end.
"He ain't human. Hes like...a soldier of his own." Ibuki said.
"He brings doom to despair…" Sonia said. "What's your name?"
The Marine just shrugged saying he didn't have one.
"I'm good at namin guys. I got the perfect one for ya!" Ibuki said.
Alex 'Doom' Marine
The Ultimate Soldier
Monokuma then appeared.
"Whoa, whoa whoa! SInce when can you give a random guy a name and an Ultimate title?!" Monokuma said.
"Oh give it a rest, bear. These guys know the truth." Sonosuke said.
"We know that a girl named Junko killed our classmate Chiaki, and turned us into what you made us do!" Nekomaru said.
"Darn, i thought you guys wouldn't remember that." Monokuma said. "But, no use in getting revenge...cause Junko Enoshima is also dead."
"We know, genius." Fuyuhiko said getting up. "The files said that a certain class you put through, with one student dubbed the ultimate hope, Makoto Naegi, stopped Junko and broke out of that death trap that was formerly our school."
"Our foundation also has records on that incident, because we were the ones who rescued the surviving students." Kyosuke said.
"And now, all we have to do is shut down your factory where those machines are being made, and Junko's plans are utterly demolished." Juzo said.
"Oh, but thats the best out of all the areas. Ive saved the best for last. A fiery appetizer of a gauntlet of food, an indoor jungle where a cursed being control all animals, and at the end of it all...well….I'll leave it to your imaginations." Monokuma said before the screen cut out.
"Alex, you know the drill. Lead us in, get the three there, shut down the factory, get out. Think you can do that?" Kyosuke siad.
Alex had no better response, but just pumped his shotgun, ready for action.
