Soon, the large group began investigating the school for clues. During the investigation, what was found was a wooden plate, duralumin arrows and bloodstained duct tape. Soon, the whole group gathered in the elevator ready to participate in another Class Trial. "Kyoko, out of curiosity, where have you been?" Makoto asked quietly. "I've been on the second floor of the dorms. The key I found opens every room in this school. I'll fill you in later. Right now, I want to focus on getting through this situation. This will probably be the biggest do-or-die moment for me." she said.
Class Trial! All Rise!
Everyone then took their places as the trial began. "Now then, let's get right down to business." Monokuma began. "The culprit is none other than Kyoko!" Byakuya said. "We discovered the corpse around 9 A.M." he said. "And the first one to discover it was me. I went to the garden to get a pickaxe for Master." Toko said. "However, at 10 P.M. last night, we found no corpse there." Byakuya said. "Me an Byakuya can confirm that!" Hiro said. "That means the crime took place between 10 P.M. last night and 9 A.M. this morning." Kirito summarized. "I later found Monokuma broken in the gym. I summonned Toko, Hina and Hiro into the gym to help me disassemble him. The four of us have very tight alibi's. While you have none, Kyoko Kirigiri." Byakuya pointed out.
"Sounds like Makoto wasn't with you guys. He doesn't have an alibi either." Kyoko said. "What is she doing?" Natsu questioned silently. "The sprinklers at the garden are set to go off at 7:30 A.M., but the corpse wasn't wet. Which means it was left there after the sprinklers went off. Makoto was with us during that time frame. In other words, Makoto is innocent too. As for these others, they are usually all together and can easily vouch for their innocence." Byakuya stated. "Strange, even considering that the body was wet." Kyoko said.
"Only its upper body was wet when you checked, correct? That is because we had to douse the flames with water before they could spread." Byakuya explained. "I see. So that's why the body was wet. But you can't say for sure the murder took place at 7:30 A.M. Covering the body in a vinyl sheet could keep the body dry. That means the murder could've happened anytime between 10 P.M. and 9 A.M. then the corpse was discovered. I am very sure that is what the culprit did since I found a vinyl sheet in the shed. It follows that Makoto could have committed this crime." Kyoko argued.
"Its not just the alibis. Themurder weapon also shows that you're the culprit. The knife in the persons stomach in fake with fake blood surrounding it. I also noticed one of the chickens missing from the coop. That is probably where the fake blood came from. The culprit actually died from a strike with a blunt object. Particually, the duranium arrows in the dojo. By bounding them together with duct tape, they would make an instant weapon. That proves that the culprit is...Kyoko Kirigiri!" Byakuya said. "What do you mean? I've never set foot in the dojo." Kyoko said. "Wrong! When we investigated your room, we found a wooden key that proves other wise." Byakuya said. "But how could I possibly get into my room? You have my room key." she said as the heroes realized this one fact. "Then how did you put that key into your room?" Byakuya asked as Monokuma began to speak. "So far, Kyoko appears to be the most suspicious. So, can we move right on to the voting then?" he asked. "Hold on! Doesn't this trial seem a little strange?" Makoto asked.
"How so?" Monokuma asked. "I mean, the very fact that this trial started before we could even figure out who the victim was is strange! Don't you all agree?" Makoto asked. "He's right. We know the person is Mukuro Ikusaba, but we haven't confirmed that for sure since the face was blown off." Aelita said. "You have a point. Making us take part in a trial where everything is so unclear is weird." Eren said. "Unless you are planning something." Naruto added.
"Well, what about you, Mr. Naegi? Aren't you planning something yourself? Don't they say the culprit never keeps his mouth shut?" he said. "Okay, time's up. You're out of time. The Class Trial is now over! Now then, vote to decide who you think is guilty." Monokuma said. "You said Makoto found the key to the locker in my room, right? That means he could've planted it there to frame me." Kyoko stated as Makoto worried. "That means Makoto is the culprit!" Toko shouted. "No, you're wrong." Makoto said. "Let's vote on it then!" Monokuma said. "You are all wrong!" Makoto shouted.
A large slot machine then came out of the ground with the three slots spinning until all three stopped on Makoto's face.
"And our blackened this time is...Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Luckiest Student, or should I say unluckiest. Pupupu!" Monokuma said. "But, there's no way." Makoto said. "What are you planning, Monokuma!" he shouted.
"Now then, I have prepared a very special punishment for the Ultimate Luckiest Student! Let's give it everything we got! IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!" he shouted as he hit the red button with his gavel.
Game Over!
Makoto has been found guilty. Punishment will now begin.
We soon see Makoto sitting on a dest that is one a conveyor belt slowly heading for a piledriver while Monokuma in a teacher's garb pointed to a blackboard with a stick while he also read from a book.
Detention!
As Makoto got closer and closer, her grew scared as his face turned a very pale blue as he grew near. But then, before he could be squished, the television above the driver turned from Monokuma to Alter Ego. Then it went to static as the driver screeched to a halt as a chute opened behind it. Monokuma was surprised by this and got mad.
"Why? How? What just happened?" Monokuma asked baffled.
"Was that?" Hina asked.
"Yeah, it was Alter Ego." Hiro said.
"So, Makoto was innocent?" Byakuya asked.
"Did it send a virus into the network while it was plugged in?"Monokuma questioned as he angrily beat his head on the blackboard and teacher's desk. "Wait a minute. This may not be such a loss. The trash pile in the basement is ridden with despair. Dying a slow and painful death down there will be the most ecruciating punishment ever. Pupupu!" he said as he laughed with the group leaving.
Later near the trash room, Soul was in there carrying two trash bags and tossing them down a nearby trash chute. As he left, he smiled. "You guys better come back alive." he said.
Meanwhile in the trashpile below, Makoto was lying in a pile of newspapers when he saw two trash bags drop from above. He saw the first one open revealing it to be Usagi, Luffy, Natsu and Tsuna. "I never wanna do that again." Usagi said. "Just wish he hadn't picked a used trash bag to put us in." Tsuna said picking a banana peel off his head. Then out of the second one came Kyoko with trash on her head. "Kyoko! Guys! What are you doing here?" Makoto asked. "We're here to get you out of here." Natsu said. "But first, how about some water?" Kyoko asked handing him a bottle as he drank. "I want to apologize. I sacrificed you to further my ambitions." she said. "Its not your fault. Its the fault of the mastermind." Makoto said. "So listen. There is something you must know. Mukuro wasn't suppose to die, it was suppose to be you." she said.
"What?!" they said. "But I defended you before they could attack. After that, the mastermind planted a corpse in the garden hoping to frame me and execute me. They considered me a nuisance and thus these series of events were designed as a trap for my execution. But then you all started about how unreasonable the trial was, so the mastermind deemed all of you a muisance, too. Fortunately, he can only execute one and he chose Makoto." Kyoko explained. "And I suppose I should tell you all who I am. I am the Ultimate Detective." she said.
"The Ultimate Detective?" Tsuna questioned. "Guess that would make sense."
"Yes. The mastermind was afraid my skill would interfere, so he wiped my memories, but they slowly came back to me. I made it my mission to be scouted for this school by the principal. I needed to see my distant father." Kyoko said.
"Father!? The headmaster is your dad?!" the four heroes said. "Oh! So that's why you said it couldn't be him." Tsuna said.
They soon found the door that lead to the steps that would take them up, but as Makoto and Kyoko climbed up the ladder, the four remaining heroes soon heard noise coming from a nearby room. The four quietly followed the noise and saw a room filled with scrap metal and in there was a guy with blackhair styled with two spikes on his sides, a black jacket over his shoulders and ear piercings. He was seen punching against the wall making large dents in it. "You know, guys. I think that is the mercenary. The one Monokuma hired. The one who killed all the Crazy Diamonds." Tsuna said. "Ferric Fawsome." Natsu said as he glared at him and walked towards him. "Natsu. Don't do it!" Usagi said as Natsu approached him. "So, you Ferric?" he asked the man. "Yeah. Why?" the man said. Natsu then made a fist and punched the man in the face and sent him across the room. The man stood up and had a look of anger in his eyes. "So, you wanna go for the big dog, huh? Well, I'm more than ready for small fries like you." he said with a grin as he lifted up one hand and blocked off the only exit. "In fact, I'll take all of you at once cause this place will be your grave!" he said laughing as the heroes prepared to fight him.
Meanwhile up above, Makoto and Kyoko had regrouped with the eight remaining heroes and arrived to the gym where Monokuma was. "What are you doing here, Makoto? You are suppose to be executed!" The bear said angrily. "Did you all save him?" he asked. "And what if we did?" Ichigo asked. "According to my rules, if you correctly identify the culprit during a class trial, they must recieve punishment aka execution! So I'm gonna do it again!" he said. "But he isn't the culprit behind this. You are." Aelita said. "And I don't think the people watching this broadcast would find that very entertaining." Kyoko said. "What?" the bear questioned. "If you keep using such heavy-handed methods when things don't go your way, they'll start thinking you forced his execution because you can't beat us head on." Maka said. "Dammit! Your right!" he said.
"But, if you wanna end this right, then we have a deal to make." Happy said. "Deal?" the bear questioned. "We hold a retrial for the murder of Mukuro Ikusaba. One last showdown between hope and despair. Sounds like an exciting climax to me." Kirito said. "Pupupu! Interesting. Beary interesting indeed. I'm starting to get bored anyway. I accept your challenge! But since this will be the finale, identifying the culprit won't be amusing. So you also have to solve every mystery in the school. If you do, then you'll win and everyone will be able to leave this school. But if you can't, then I get to execute every last one of you!" the bear said. "Deal." Eren said. "Perfect. I cannot wait till the last class trial!" he said as the group left.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria, the four students were sulking a bit after what had happened to Makoto. "Makoto wasn't the culprit after all." Hiro said. "But we weren't all executed. That means..." Toko said. "It means the rules and regulations are no longer being observed." Byakuya stated. Soon, they saw the group return to the cafeteria with Makoto. Hina, Hiro and Toko looked down as he came in. "Come on. Its no big deal." Makoto said. "Yes it is." Hina said. "I mean, what we did to you." Hiro said. "Its not your fault. The mastermind's goal is to make us all feel despair. So we can't give up now." Makoto said. Then Toko, Hina and Hiro came up to him with smiles on their faces. "Now, we have to get ready for the final class trial." Kyoko said. "Final class trail?" Byakuya questioned.
The PA system then kicked in. "Attention all students! It has been decided that we will hold one last class trial. Every door in this school has now been opened to you. As for investigation time, it will last until my mercenary is defeated by your four friends." Monokuma said as a video feed of the four exchanging blow after blow with Ferric was seen. "When the fight ends, investigation time is over and we will begin the final class trial. And not only must you find the culprit, you must also solve all the mysteries. I just can't wait! Pupupu!" he said as everyone was ready for the final do or die class trial.
