Author's note
Lost my flash drive and panicked for a while, decided to do the logical thing and proceed with this story. Those of you who've read TDID, sorry, that story is on temporary hiatus for now, once I finish Danganronpa, I will get back in the Total Drama mojo and finish the two-three season series after this one season series (because this one is vastly shorter than the other one).
Shyjoker:
Ryutaro: Grow a pair dude.
Kaban: Show some respect! What if you were in her situation?
Sakushi: Well, I actually like those two. Anyone who's an enemy of Ryutaro is a friend of mine!
Ryutaro: Shut the Hell up and answer the comment!
Sakushi: Hehehe, we'll see what Cocoa gets to say. His FTEs are done for this chapter so he just has to live now. That shouldn't be a problem, he seems like a tough enough guy.
Ryutaro: Whatever…
Arcana of the True Self: I'm glad you liked the FTEs, I'm also glad you're not too upset because I took most of the material of the FTEs from Last Chance! Yes, this unknown Game of Mutual Killing may be real and may not be real, however, those characters all play a major role in the story. Well, Cocoa and Ashida will have to live till the next chapter because only one character (and one Liam) can get an FTE per chapter. There are six FTEs per chapter so I hope to get in more people that way.
Kristen-Kai Lundy: Just doing the best I can to make 2D characters 3D, and to follow your instructions. Yes, Nokoda is gay. Please re-read the first four chapters now that this has been confirmed! It'll change a lot of perspective, I'm sure! I hope so too, and I needed a way for Chris to be suckered in. After all, he was probably sent to jail (again) and needs more motive to host the Killing Games then just cash. Chef is my favorite non-contestant character, I think he's funny no matter what he does! That's okay, I was just stalling time for the FTE poll.
MayoMace3: I know! I'm really tempted to start a Bleach fanfic with the Nova Espada but I keep reminding myself of this! That is a very interesting theory, I'll take it into account… I'm glad you liked it, I try!
HeroNoMore: Yeah, these characters are very important! I don't expect you to know them all, but if you read the names carefully, you might be able to make some connections. For instance Madarame and Awesagaya… that might be important.
On with the FTEs!
Before Game
"Hi diddle de! An actor's life for me!"
Sakushi Hasu, pimp cane in hand, strolled into his Persian Paradise. He opened the tarp to his tented man cave covered with exotic looking drapes and carpets. He swung back his leopard skin cape and danced across the room, singing his praises.
He came to the kitchen area and applied one of his ring adorned hands on a kettle that was boiling. His John Lennon glasses fogged up as the steam came flying out. He poured the water into a cup and set the kettle down, placing a tea bag into the cup and dipping it to the rhythm of his new theme song Thrift Shop by American artist Macklemore.
He strolled to a comfortable looking chaise, placed his tea on a coffee table, threw his leopard skin attire to the floor, flung himself upon the chair, and grabbed the daily paper he found floating through the wind like a tumbleweed
'Whatever the Hell that is!'
The life of a poor man could be a luxury sometimes. Especially when you tricked people for a living.
"If Mom and Dad could see me now! I'm gonna make a fortune!"
He sipped his tea and spit. He looked down and realized he hadn't put in any sugar. Sighing, the charlatan got up from the chaise and walked to the mini fridge. Popping his head in and retracting it with incredible speed. He slammed the door with great fury and swore.
"That worthless bitch! Can't she do anything right? You tell her to do something and what does she do? Starts falling asleep or writing in that damned diary! If I had a dollar for every time she ignored me, I'd be the richest man in the world!"
He had just finished putting his leopard attire on and was walking out the front "door" when he was stopped. By someone blocking the entrance.
A strawberry blonde girl with very attractive clothes and a large smile. Her voice was vapid and bubbly
"Heeeeellllooooooo!"
The SHSL Charlatan stared in bewilderment at the stranger, not sure what to do.
"I was told I could find some services here!"
Sakushi straightened up at the mention of his occupation
"Y-yes, what did you have in mind?"
The blonde giggled
"One full night, dusk to dawn!"
The indigo haired boy smirked and beckoned her inside.
"Have a seat on a couple of pillows! I've gotta run out to the market to smuggle, I mean buy, some things. Do you have a drink preference?"
The girl giggled once more
"No alcohol, no condoms, no pills. Just one night!"
Sakushi frowned. He couldn't afford children, he could barely afford his useless sister.
"I don't put up with those kinds of people who solicit their bodies without the risk of the whole ordeal, it's disappointing."
She looked at him very threateningly
"You won't disappoint me, right?"
Sakushi smirked once more and replied
"I never disappoint, babe! Nothing it is! Makes it easier for me! Help yourself to anything in the fridge!"
As he left, he failed to notice his guest giggling to herself.
And they both failed to realize that someone was watching the whole ordeal.
Game
Nokoda Saibura's Cabin
Characters Present:
Nokoda Saibura
SHSL Imposter as a lamp
Tony and Coyote Starrk as lonely action figures
A bunch of seizure inducing lights, Japanese children, beware!
"Will you stop that?"
Perhaps I should take Nokoda Saibura out of the room, permanently!
"Whatever."
I lay very still in bed. It was very early, but I couldn't sleep. I'd woken up due to a major headache from all that running and thinking. I'd spent several hours trying to calm it down, and I was now ready to analyze that situation at hand.
First, someone had tried to kill me. I don't know who or why, but someone did. Or they were just trying to get me not to see the rest of the video. Perhaps Kiyoto is trapped here on this island, and it was going to show a clip of his whereabouts.
Second, the voice of the narrator was Monokuma's. This is in issue because Monokuma was nowhere to be seen on this island. If Monokuma was here, his face, not Chris', would be plastered on everything. Monokuma wouldn't let anyone else run the show, unless Junko wasn't on the island. If that's the case, he wouldn't function. So that means, this time, Junko Enoshima is not the direct mastermind.
Third, those missing students. I wrote a list of all of them so I wouldn't forget, but that doesn't change the fact that ten teens can't go missing without raising too much investigation. As far as I'm concerned, those students never existed. But that's not the case. I've heard of them and the six students that remain. I just don't remember them, must be the mind eraser Junko loves so much. The names themselves don't seem to matter much, but there is one in particular that won't exit my mind.
Quietly, I looked down at the paper and at the name.
Flashback
(The final student was a very attractive female, with brown hair, pinned up by some chopsticks, tied in a messy, yet attractive bun. She held a cool smirk and kept her hands at her waist. She was just a natural beauty.)
Isane Takane: SHSL Barista
Flashback End
Isane Takane
Takane
Ryutaro Takane
I need to know who she is!
But Takane would never tell you!
I'll find a way!
You couldn't even make Cocoa listen and he's far more reasonable!
I have to! I have to save everyone!
Since when did you become the main character to an anime?
Since when Chris said!
True, true. Fair point, go save the world!
A bit late for that right?
Shut up!

While I struggled to ignore Helena's and Ryutaro's complaint about not getting to eat for two days straight I sat myself next to my good friend Toy! He was fidgeting with the wheel of a wooden train that he must've carved, so much so he didn't notice me for five solid minutes. When he finished he zoomed the train down the table. It zoomed by the others, who were conversing, and smashed into the post with amazing speed. Toy jumped up and shouted
Toy: Woo! Yeah, new record!
The Mess Hall looked at him, but he never noticed. He just sat back down and pierced my eyes with his wide Disney type ones.
Toy: So, Nokoda, you single?
I was taken aback by that but didn't let it show, smiling, I responded
Nokoda: Yes I am. Does that mean you'll be a legal adult this year?
Toy frowned
Toy: Are you really that old?
Nokoda: Are you really that young?
Toy: So I take it we weren't in the same homeroom at Kibogamine?
Nokoda: Probably not, the homerooms there aren't always limited to the same age group. If so, Sundee'd be the only sophomore.
Toy: Yeah, she's fifteen, right?
Nokoda: Yeah, she's the only sophomore. Ramina, Atsuko, Kasai
Toy: And me!
Nokoda: And you, are all freshmen, Liam, Tamiko, Helena, Miki, and Ashida are all juniors and the rest of us Ryutaro, Cocoa, Hachi, Raven, and Kukuri are all seniors
Toy: And you!
Nokoda: And me.
I couldn't help picturing Toy as a three year old child at the moment. It wasn't hard since he looked the part. He made me feel like a young father. It wasn't the best relationship to have with your friends but it was unique.
Nokoda: So, Toy, do you have anything interesting about yourself you want to share? We've got two minutes to kill.
Toy: I don't want you to get older.
Nokoda: I figured, you don't like adults do you?
Toy began to pout like a child
Toy: Adults don't let you have fun! If you start squishing ants on the sidewalk they'll tell you to stop hurting those poor defenseless creatures. Ants aren't poor! They're thieves! And I know adults don't like them either. Damn hypocrites.
I stifled a laugh at Toy's miniature tantrum, and left the toddler like highschooler

As Sundee left the blind girl to go talk to Kukuri, I took her spot in front of Tamiko. Tamiko heard me and reached to grab my face, so as to identify me. Deflecting her from poking my eyes out, I clutched her hand and brought it to the table.
Nokoda: It's me, Nokoda.
Tamiko smiled warmly
Tamiko: Good, that means only sweet. Innocent people are here!
I blushed freely, knowing full well Tamiko couldn't see it when I felt a warm tongue on my hand. I looked down and saw the golden retriever from the hospital tent chilling under the table. I stroked the back of its ear gently.
Nokoda: So what's his name?
Tamiko laughed
Tamiko: Her name is Faith! I've had her since I was young!
At the sound of her name the dog jumped up to assist her owner, but accidently hit her head on the table. Tamiko and I couldn't help but laugh as the blind girl opened her purse, took out a dog treat, and fed it to Faith (Or, rather, Toy, who had showed up just in time to have a dog treat shoved down his throat.)
Ignoring the boy, and avoiding the question, how she'd mistaken Toy for a dog, I pursued further conversation.
Nokoda: So how did a blind person decide she wanted to help other handicapped people?
Tamiko smiled the warm smile she must've copyrighted
Tamiko: It's actually thanks to Faith. One day, while I was crossing the street, a car came toward me. I thought it would stop, but when it didn't, I froze with fear. As if on cue, Faith tugged my hard enough to pull me to safety. It inspired me so much that I wanted to give other people their own service dog!
Nokoda: Finally, A story worthy of my ears.
Tamiko: You sound like Ryutaro!
We both laughed as we began to make very crude impersonations of the muckraker, probably violently shivering at the mention of his brash personality.

Megaphone announcement
"Attention Campers! It is now night time! You know the drill! No cafeteria, no food in the rooms, no sleeping in places that aren't your cabin, yada! However, before you all leave for bed, I need you all to meet me at the Old Mansion on the hill! I have a surprise! McLean out!"
Spontaneous Area Change
Old Mansion on the hill
Characters Present:
Everyone!
We all waited on the porch for Chris to show up. We were divided into three groups; those who cared too much, those who cared too little, and those who cared but pretended they didn't. I fell into the first group. I knew this wasn't good at all, Chris would probably give out a motive.
Which meant he was serious.
Which meant someone would be affected.
Which wasn't good.
He tried to make small talk with Kukuri, but she was shaking too much from fright. The poor girl was stuck next to Miki, who was blurting out her own morbid ideas of what she though was gonna happen. I looked to my left and saw Hachi, grinning my way. I was about to approach him, to talk and relax, when the door flew open. Chris' head popped out of the open doorway and, with a cheerful look on his face, announced to us all
"Step right up guys! I've got something I wanna show you!"
We followed him into the Mansion and into the theater room that I had been in just the other night. But if anything had truly happened, I couldn't tell. It all looked untouched. The screen was replaced and looked brand new. Everything that had been touched the previous night was dusty.
Which meant someone must've spent time erasing any traces of anything yesterday.
Why?
I didn't have time to figure out. Chris directed us each to our assigned seats, all of them scattered so nobody was next to each other. Chris then jumped up to a podium, which magically appeared as if it were a typo in an animated show. Grinning wildly, he looked at the crowd in general, not addressing anyone in particular.
"It has come to my attention that, even though the whole purpose of this game was to kill people, nobody has died! I'm near positive that a teen's mind hasn't changed in a couple of years, so I have no idea why the incentive isn't working!"
I looked around the room as most everyone remembered that there even was an incentive to begin with. That didn't sit well with Chris.
"Are you kidding me? For ten stupid seasons, I've gotten teens to do whatever I want for a million bucks, and here you guys are, not even remembering the incentive!"
He sighed sadly and continued
"I'd seriously hoped it wouldn't have to come to this. I even told my Princess Beth doll last night! I said 'Beth, I don't want it to come to this! But darn it! These campers are tough!' So I've come up with the nastiest, most despair inducing incentive I could find!"
Confession Cam
Nokoda: Oh great! What's Chris got in mind? You know what? Bring it! We won't give in!
End Confession Cam
Chris pulled out a large book and placed it on the table. He opened it, revealing a pop-up beaver. And in the smoothest tone he could muster, he uttered words I'd never forget
"The History of Canada; A pop-up book, chapter 1: the Beaver. National symbol, and a "dam" fine hat!"
…
…
…
…
I'll be dammed.
We gave Chris a moment of silence, before he threw the book to the side of him, enticing a bunch of typical cartoon crash noises to sound off. Chris smiled and spoke the obvious
"Just kidding! Wanted to reference season 1 episode three: The Big Sleep! Your real motive, can be found in an envelope under your chair!"
Cautiously, we each bent down to grab the envelope. We picked it up and opened it. Some of us took longer than others, but we all reacted the same. I couldn't imagine what the other's letters said, but it was probably similar to mine.
If a murder doesn't happened by night time tomorrow, you will be isolated from the others. You will be placed in a cage in an isolated part of the island. This will be your punishment for refusing to participate in the Fourth Game of Mutual Killing. Beware.
My hand shook. No one was going to be put in danger. No one would die anyway. But I would have to face one of my biggest fears, isolation.
Why isolation? It looks horrid. I've seen its effect on people. People like the Starrks. Though not related at all, Tony Stark and Coyote Starrk share one thing in common, they're both alone. All because they are legitimately different. They're powerful but alone. Respected but alone. Geniuses but alone. And that didn't sit well for either one of them.
I never wanted to be isolated because I could become a threat to the wellbeing of society. But now, in order to escape isolation, I've gotta let the wellbeing be thrown astray. But that would bring chaos, another thing I detest.
But not as much as isolation.
Only Chris looked happy. Nobody spoke for five minutes as Chris laughed at us. It was Ryutaro who broke the silence.
And for once, we were glad he did.
"You're threatening us with facing our fears? That's not like the SHSL Despair to act like that. Their punishments are death."
Chris wiped a tear away
"But death doesn't teach you anything! Once you're dead, that's it! Zip! Done! Finite! But, if you live through a torture, that hurts more! That's why there are always survivors in this game!"
Helena spoke next
"Don't they win because they defeat Junko?"
Chris was quick to retort
"Oh sure, because the person who ended the world can be beaten so easily! She knew she'd leave fragments of despair roaming around, instilled in the hearts of the survivors. Even if they don't feel the scar, it's still there! Fear is the greatest form of despair, to instill fear in someone is to plant the seed of despair."
He looked at us, dead serious
"That's what Junko wants."
I looked up, to see if anyone caught that. I saw Helena and Ryutaro nodding to one another. Then, they both looked at me. I understood. They had seen it too. They'd heard what none of the others hadn't. The others now saw Chris as a soulless pawn of Junko Enoshima. But the three of us knew the truth. We'd noticed how he said Junko, not him.
And I saw the glimmer of sadness sparkle in his eyes.
Junko wants us to suffer.
But Chris doesn't.

Usami Theatre
Lesson 1: Hope
Usami: Oh hope! I sure do wuv it! It's such a wonderful thing to have, especially in the midst of such a rotten game! I sure wish I were there to help guide them on that path! I know Monokuma isn't there, but Chris seems to fit the bill perfectly! Perhaps I should come to him in his dreams and teach him the wonderful ways of hope! Then, it could be the very first Game of Mutual Friendship! That would make me very happy!
Author's note
I could only remember Usami/Monomi saying wuv instead of love. I won't worry about it too much.
The reference is valid, if you want to check it out on Netflix! That was one of my favorite lines!
In case you were wondering, I added the Starrks for the whole isolation effect. I love both of them very much and they remain my favorite characters from the two separate groups they belong to!
I did this chapter all in one day! I started, finished, and published it all the same day! I wish I could do that all the time.
I cannot stress enough that I leave various little clues and references to things. I'd love to hear some of your theories on how everything will unfold! Until next time!
