Chapter 5

Love, Hatred and Despair pt. 5 (ab)normal school days

Murder!

I don't own Dangan Ronpa.

We always have a choice. You just have to deal with the consequences of said choice. - Unknown

Junko looked over at Terra and Kazemon. Terra's pale skin had turned a light shade of olive and Kazemon was following behind her, even closer than before.

"Why are you following so close to Terra, Kazemon?" Veemon questioned, Kazemon's gaze locked on Terra.

"Mistress Terra saved me from this evil siren girl!" Kazemon exclaimed as Junko watched them.

"Evil siren girl?" She questioned and Kazemon turned.

"Yep!"

"Is there a more scientific name for them?"

"Probably."

"What is it then?"

"No clue." Kazemon's outfit deteriorated into vines and pieces of leather.

"Let's go, Kazemon." Kyoko remarked and the two of them hurried out of the room.

"Now what?" Kotoko questioned."Go after her?"

"No, I think those two can handle themselves." Junko answered and pulled out her ElectroID. The two of them left the room, Junko texting in the process.

"Who are you texting?"

"Miguel."

"Why?"

"Well, the message on the wall said something about needing our jungle friends to figure out the whole story." Fairymon answered and Junko nodded.

"But still, how do we know they're in the jungle?" Veemon added

"That's easy." A voice explained as a large cloud of thick white smoke walked up to them."We just look for any signals they may have sent out."

"And you are?" Junko snapped as she tried to make out the figure within the smoke.

"Chihiro Fujisaki, Super High School Level Programmer." Chiciro explained.

"What's with all the smoke?" Kotoko questioned.

"Due to all the firestorm surrounding me, this was considered a necessary precaution."

"Why?" Sonia questioned.

"I'm a crossdresser.." Almost immediately, a half-dozen missiles suddenly entered the cloud. "Just stop that!" She turned the smoke off, revealing himself. He wore a dark green jacket and brown skirt with knee-high black socks and white shoes.

"I still don't see why people have a problem with you." Veemon whispered as a troll in a police uniform appeared.

"You're all under arrest for accepting Chihiro for who he is." The Troll explained, only to be stabbed by Junko."Assualt! That's a second crime!"

"Can we call being in this hellhole the third?" A different voice responded and Sonia turned. Standing on a nearby was a teenage girl with a long white braid. she was dressed in a turquoise sailor fuku with a red ascot. A sheath was strung around her back, containing a shinai(bamboo kendo sword).

"Never mind." The troll whispered and faded away.

"If that's an actual troll, he's a coward." A second voice explained. It was a second teenage girl, dressed in a white blouse and black skirt, platinum blonde hair trailing down to her neck. In her hands, was a black wide-brimmed hat. "Protection for secrets! Time to pay up!"

"Explanation?" Junko accused.

"That's our "protection"." Chihiro explained as the two girls approached them.

"Pay up or no protecto for you." Girl #2 exclaimed, Junko stabbing the hat away from her hands.

"I can personally protect myself, thank you very much." Junko responded as Veemon jumped onto her shoulder.

"Yeah!" Veemon added, pumping her left arm.

"Oh really? Are you so sure about that?" Girl #1 taunted, pulling out her shinai.

"Yep." She held the knife in front of her, waiting for her opponent to strike. The shinai flew to the left, Junko jabbing her blade at the opponent, hitting her just as she was hit.

"Draw." The Girl #2 announced as both Junko and Girl #2 sheathed their weapons.

"Peko Pekoyama, Super High School Level Swordswoman." Peko watched Junko,

"Junko Enoshima, Super High School Level Tamer."

"You still have to pay up!"

"Let her be, Harunojo." A voice explained as a figure walked up to them. It was a teenage boy, slightly short for his age. He wore an unbuttoned black jacket with a white shirt and black tie along with black pants. Both the jacket and pant had faint grey lines going down upon them. He wore grayish white shoes with the socks covered. He had short blondish brown hair and a black eye-patch with a white swirling dragon on it, covering his right auburn eye."Didn't I explain to you this isn't how we're doing things?!"

"Yes, but you're getting soft, aren't you?" Girl #1 responded as The Boy looked at her.

"Until we're out of here, we need to work with the others."

"Fine." Junko looked over at Peko.

"Who are those two?" Junko whispered.

"The girl is Harunojo Kuzuryu, Super High School Level Little Sister. The boy is Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Super High School Level Gangster." Peko explained.

"Super High School Level Little Sister?" Veemon whispered.

"Just go with it."

"Sounds good." They looked over at Chihiro, who was typing something on a tablet.

"Chihiro, what are you doing?" Kotoko questioned as a sly grin came over Chihiro.

"Becoming God." Chihiro responded, a cyan crystal cocoon suddenly surrounding him. At that same moment, a girl left her room and entered the hallway. Behind her, was a grayish black cat. She was dressed in a white blouse and black jacket with a multiple layered black skirt and black knee-high stockings. Her feet were adorned with red high heel mary janes and twin drill ponytails. The cat wore a frilly white collar with a black ribbon around it.

"And you are?" Junko questioned.

"Celestia Ludenburg, Super High School Level Gambler." Celestia explained and then pointed at her cat." And that's Grand Bois Chéri Ludenberg."

"Seriously?" Veemon responded."You named your cat?"

"Yep!" The cat approached Chihiro's coocon, pawing at it. A bright light then surrounded it, which is why cats should never touch cyan cocoons. The cat suddenly grew, becoming an anthro cat. A Trenchcoat and low cut t-shirt appeared on it's torso. It looked down at itself, wondering what had happened to her.

"Chéri, are you all right?" Celestia questioned

"What do you think?!" Chéri responded, looking herself over. She moved away from the cocoon and over to her master."What am I?"

"You're a NekoGamblermon." Fairymon explained as Cheri looked at her.

NekoGamblermon

Champion, Virus

Fairymon: NekoGamblermon, what happens when you combine greed, cats, and digital data for some reason

Junko's ElectroID then went off. She pulled it out and gasped.

"What is it?" Kotoko questioned

"They found her." Junko answered and the four of them headed back to their room. They headed towards Junko's side and sat on her bed. The ElectroID just sat on her bed right in front of them, cycling through the pictures.

"That Mastermind seriously did a number to her." Veemon remarked. Kirigiri's naked and broken body covered the screen. A cheesy golden katana hung out of her body and her broken limbs in a flailing position.

"Cause of death was definitely wound to the heart." Kotoko said.

Truth Bullet "Cause of Death" Acquired!

"Do you seriously have to announce that?"

"Yes, The Author has too." A voice explained and a Penguin approached them."This definitely isn't Dear Internet." He was promptly pulled by some scantily-clad girl.

"That was truly WTF." Fairymon responded and the lights suddenly went out. A scream pierced through the air, the lights coming back on soon after.

"No..." Junko looked in front of her.

The familiar tune played.

Kotoko's bloody corpse laid right in front of her. Her hands, impaled into the wall with spikes. Her face was formed into a wide, evil grin. She had been stripped of all her clothes, showing off her lack of a bust to all. Her chest had been stabbed multiple times with a bladed weapon. Under Kotoko, was a piece of paper. Junk walked over to her friend's body, picking the piece of paper up.

Because of you, they must all pay

She took a quick picture of the paper and left her room. Outside, Monokuma waited.

"Hello, Junko." It greeted, Junko pulling her knife out once again.

"What the fuck do you want?"

"I just wanted to open a door for you."

"That isn't why you're here."

"You're very observant, Junko. It's almost if you've done thi- Oh wait, you have!" Monokuma got a swift kick from Junko.

"You're Ishimaru."

"No."

"Some hacker who claimed to have taken one of my eyes and placed it into his head?"

"Nope."

"A Super High School Level Illusionist?"

"You've been reading fanfiction, haven't you?"

"I have no clue what you're talking about!"

"But you are the mastermind?"

"Yep!"

"Why don't you show your true identity, then?"

"We've already done that before with the former mastermind."

"I didn't know!" A door then opened, revealing a comatose Toko."Did you kill Kyoko?"

"Yep, she knew too much!" Monokuma teleported away and Junko and Veemon walked over to the open door."Happy Investigating!"

In the doorwell, laid Toko. BlackGatomon stood over her, waiting for something.

"What's wrong?" Veemon said.

"I'm waiting for Syo to appear!" BlackGatomon snapped and Junko facepalmed. Syo then spontaneously popped up, pulling out her "genoscissors".

"Let's see what made Gloomy go out." Syo muttered, dusting herself off.

"Hello Syo." Junko greeted and Syo turned.

"Hello former mastermind." Syo taunted casually.

"First, I suspect there was something much more complicated going on back then. Second, It's Super High School Level Tamer now."

"Whatever." The two girls stepped farther into the room, Syo becoming even more joyful for some reason. Junk quickly found out why.

The familiar tune played once again.

Byakuga Togami laid on the floor, his head smashed in. Aoi Asahina was beside him, her head also smashed in.

"How could they do this to my beloved!" Syo shouted as everyone else just looked at her."I'm the only who get's to murder my beloved Togami!"

"It's official. She's blown her top." Veemon explained.

"I think she did so a while ago." BlackGatomon added. Junko approached the bodies noticing a second piece of paper.

It was the decisions of fools that will get you all killed

"Somebody definitely holds a grudge." Junko thought."They definitely died from blows to the head."

Truth Bullet "Cause of Death #2" Acquired!

She approached Byakuga's body. He laid face down on the ground, but his stomach was slightly raised. Junko got down on her knees and examined the area."Here we go." She pulled a manila folder out from under the body and stared at it. The folder was titled one word, Despair. She opened the folder up, pulling out a single piece of paper.

Junko Enoshima was not the mastermind behind both the School Life of Mutual Killing and the Island Life of Mutual Killing.

It is unknown who the actual one in control is.

She is our savior. She is the only one who can free us from our fate.

We must reunite her with a "black cat".

Only then, can these murders stop.

However, we must be willing work with any and all allies we can find.

Then, this nightmare will finally end for all of us, living and dead...

She closed the folder.

Truth Bullet "Despair Folder" Acquired!

"What the fuck did that mean?" She thought and headed out the door. Then she stopped. Standing at the far end of the hallway, was Makoto Naegi.

"Where the heck am I now?" Makoto announced and just stood there. Junko ran towards him. Naegi then just fell over, a kunai sticking out of his head. She reached Makoto a few seconds later, his body promptly disappearing.

"Huh?" She thought as she looked around.

"Hello Junko." A voice whispered.

"Who are you?!"

"Has it really been that long since we last shown our face to one another?"

"Uh..." A girl walked out of the shadows.

"Misa Naegi, Super High School Level Kunoichi. The true "Makoto"."

Notes:

I have reached a new record. Most murders in a single chapter of a Fangan Ronpa!

Also, I'm going to take In the Beginning down, which is going to be replace by something much more interesting...

Fun Fact: There are three easter eggs hidden in the chapter. Each of them relate to a different Dangan Ronpa fanfic.

Fun Fact: Chiaki Nanami was going to appear in this chapter, mocking Chihiro. She'll probably appear later.

The one behind the murders is pretty easy to figure out, you just have to dive deep into the lore...
