We open back up to Makoto's room where he was investigating it further. He went to his bathroom door to find a note from Monokuma. "Your rooms each come with a bathroom, but keep in mind that there will be no water during Night Time. In addition, only the girls' bathrooms can be locked. Last but not least, I've sent you all some small gifts. For the boys, you get a toolkit so you could bash other people in the head or stab them. And for the girls, they get a sewing kit and a diagram of the human body's most vital organs. I want you all to enjoy and be creative with them." the note said. Makoto became angry at the note and tossed it into the trash. As soon as he did, Usagi came in. "So, everything okay, Makoto?" she asked.
"No! He just basically wants us to kill each other!" he shouted as he stared at the golden replica sword on a nearby dresser. He then walked over to his own bathroom. "I'll just take a shower." he said as he grabbed the door knob only to find the door not opening. "Huh? Why won't it open?" he questioned. "Is it locked?" Usagi asked.
"Bzzt! It's not locked!" said a familiar voice. They both turned to see Monokuma standing beside them, surprised to see him. "Where do you keep coming from?" Usagi asked. "It is not important. But this time, you just left the door unlocked. You've got to lock it from the inside. Anyway, I have noticed a fatal flaw with your bathroom door. The frame doesn't fit right with the door. You need to turn the doorknob and lift it upwards then push it open." he said as Makoto did this. "You're right." he said. "Pretty sad, isn't it? I think its pretty sad that your room's the only one affected and your suppose to be the Ultimate Luckiest Student. Pupupu!" he said as he walked out the door and shutting it.
"Luckiest my ass." he said as he locked the door. But as soon as he did, the doorbell rang. "Who is it?" he asked in response. "Its Sayaka." she said. Makoto then opened the door to see Sayaka acting a little scared. "Makoto." she said as she walked inside and sat on the bed.
"Sayaka, did something happen to you? You look scared." Usagi asked. "Well, I was in my room when my doorknob started to shake rapidly. I thought it was Monokuma, but when I opened it, no one was there. I'm not trying to suspect anyone, but I am scared." she said. "Its okay. No ones going to attack you. We agreed we wouldn't come out during night time." Usagi said. "But that's just a verbal agreement. It can easily be broken." she said.
"Well, how about staying in my room tonight?" Makoto asked her. "The rules say we can only sleep in the dorms, but not in our own assigned rooms." Sayaka pondered this and came up with something better. "How about we switch rooms? I can sleep in your room and you can sleep in mine."
"Sure. It that will help you relax, then I don't mind." he said as the two traded off their room keys. He then explained how the door was improperly fitted before a PA announcement came on. "Attention. This is a school announcement. It is now 10 p.m. and is officially night time. The cafeteria will be locked down. Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite." he said cheerfully as it cut out. Makoto and Usagi soon left the room leaving Sayaka in there. "I promise not to open my door to anyone." she said as she closed the door. The two then seperated as Usagi went to join her friends in the classroom and Makoto went into Sayaka's room.
The next morning, everyone awoke and joined in the cafeteria so they could have breakfast together. Some were there on time, others appeared later. "Hey! Sorry I'm late." Junko said as she walked in and sat down. "Junko, I've noticed that you don't look like you do in the magazines." Sakura said looking at her. Junko just laughed at this. "Well, of course! Its all photoshopped! You've all heard of image editing software, right?" she said. Other then kept on arriving until the only ones who had not arrived yet were Sayaka and Byakuya. byakuya soon arrived later than anyone else and sat in a chair. "Say, Byakuya, have you seen Sayaka anywhere?" Ichigo asked.
"Of course not. I came here straight from my room." he replied coldly.
"Miss Maizono is late? Very unusual." Hifumi said.
"Maybe she's sick." Hina replied as Makoto and Usagi got worried. They both quickly got up and ran to Makoto's room to find it unlocked. They pushed the door open to find the room a mess with scratches on the walls, the bed a mess and the replica sword on the floor along with the room key. The two looked scared by this as they walked to the bathroom door to find the doorknob unscrewed from the top. They pushed the door open to find Sayaka, dead against the bathroom with a knife in her stomach. The two screamed loudly as they blacked out and fell inconscious.
They both soon regained consciousness inside the gym with everyone else gathered inside. "Glad to see you two are awake." Naruto replied looking at them. "You passed out in Makoto's room and we had to drag you here." Kirito said.
"So, that's what happened. Wait! What about Sayaka?" Makoto asked as he and Usagi sat up.
"Sorry. We checked the body everal times. Sayaka Maizono...is dead." Eren said causing sadness in Usagi and Makoto.
"Monokuma! He did this! He killed Sayaka!" Makoto shouted in anger. "Pupupu! Nope, not me." he replied as he stood on his podium. "You know, I would never do anything that'd go against the point of this whole exercise. I was famous in the safari park for being twice the stickler for rules compared to the other bears. The person who killed Sayaka...was one of you!"
"What?! No way!" Usagi said. "Ah! But it is true. One of you killed Sayaka to graduate. That's all there is to it!" Monokuma replied. "All right! Whoever killed Sayaka Maizono please identify yourself." Taka said.
"Idiot. Even if one of us is the killer, they wouldn't just admit it like that." Mondo said.
"Exactly! And allowing them to just leave is way too naive. I will now explain the rules regarding graduation. You must not let the other students find out that you're the killer. Simply killing someone is not enough. You must kill in a way that the other students will not know that you did it." he explained.
"So basically, they had to commit the perfect crime." Aelita answered.
"Yes! Once a certain amount of time has passed after a murder, we will hold a class trial to review your performance! In these trials, you'll have a chance to debate who the killer is. If you correctly identify the culprit, then they will recieve punishment for distrubing the peace of this place. However, if you pick the wrong one, then I'll punish everyone besides the guilty party and they get to graduate and leave this school." he explained.
"Uh, just out of curiousity, what do you mean by punishment?" Hifumi asked the bear.
"Oh, easy. It's execution!" he said. "And what do you mean by execution?" Chihiro asked. "Execution is...execution. Electric chair bzzt bzzt, Poison gas cough cough, torn apart like a paper plane in a hurricane! These trials will be run quasi-jury style, so you get to choose who is guilty."
"You're being ridiculous!" Junko cried out. "What the hell you talking about? Class Trials? I don't wanna take part in that crap! Why do we have to guess who the culprit is?" "How selfish!" Monokuma replied. "Do what you want! Kill or be killed? I want no part of it!" she shouted as Monokuma shivered. "I'm honestly quivering from the overwhelming force of evil before me! I will not give in to evil! I'll fight until the end!" he declared revealing his bear claws and jumped down from the podium and approached the group. "If you must pass, then do so over my dead body!"
As soon as he declared this, Junko stomped down on him. "Done. Happy now?" she asked. "Are you? You have violated a school rule. Violence against the head master is prohibited. Activating summon spell! Save me, Spear of Gungnir" he said. Everyone watched in shock as Junko's body was pierced by dozens of spears. She then started to bleed out of her mouth. "Why me? This wasn't suppose to happen." she said as each of the spears came out of her allowing her body to fall dead on the floor. Everyone just looked at the body with sadness and shock as Monokuma returned to the stage. "I wanted to keep the amount of unnecessary deaths to a minimum, but she left me no choice and had to be punished. Now, do your best with the investigation." he said before leaving the large group on there own.
"Well, at least we know Junko wasn't the one who did the killing." Tsuna said looking at the body.
"I already know who the prime suspect is. Its Makoto." Byakuya said pointing to him. "The murder took place in his room, so he is the prime suspect."
Everyone looked at Makoto with suspicion as he looked worried. For he knew if they voted for him, they would all be killed. Soon, everyone seperated and began the investigation on their own.
"Let's go over what we know so far: The victim is Sayaka Maizono." Maka started as she investigated the halls with Soul and Aelita. "Her time of death was estimated around 1:30 a.m." Naruto stated as he, Luffy and Ichigo checked the Trash Room finding a burnt shirt piece and a broken crystal ball. "She was killed from a stab to the abdomen and strange enough, her right wrist was broken." Tsuna said as he, Natsu, Happy, Makoto, Kirito, Eren and Usagi checked the room where they found a message behind Sayaka that read 11037. After some investigating, Makoto and Usagi headed into Sayaka's room and reflected for a bit. They then saw the video in her trash and against their own morals, they took it and watched it in the AV Room.
On the screen, they saw Sayaka performing with her pop group, but then it cut out for a moment. It soon cut back in with the four girls in the background unconscious or dead on the stage with Monokuma's face on the screen behind them. The same message from the earlier videos appeared on the screen as soon as the video was over. Then the PA kicked in.
"I have grown bored so please report to the main halls so we may begin the class trial." Monokuma said. Everyone quickly made their way to an elevator in the main hall. As Makoto and Usagi arrived, Makoto recieved glares from a majority of the people there believing him to be the killer. However, the only ones believing his innocence were the heroes and Kyoko. As they all rode the elevator, they soon arrived to a large courtroom where Monokuma sat in a large chair which oversaw many smaller stands. "This is it, Makoto This is where we prove your innocence and find our killer. Like you, I'm going to avenge Sayaka, by finding her killer." Usagi declared as Makoto smiled. They all walked right on in, ready for a do or die class trial.
