Chapter 3.5: Alternate ending 2
Nagito's luck was always on point. Whether it decided to work for or against him was not. When he went to grab the diuretic, it went exactly as he planned, his luck snagged him exactly the bottle he was looking for. He set the bombs, prepared the drinks, and wrote the note warning of the danger should the exams not be postponed.
Then he tripped on his shoelaces as he was walking down the hall. He dropped his bag, but the pale-haired girl helped him up. He thanked her, both for the help and for the drugs. As she ran off for the gym, Nagito picked up his bag off the ground. He checked, and luckily the trigger hadn't gone off. Clearly luck was on his side today, the plan was going off without a hitch.
As he approached the gymnasium, a security guard working for the school asked to search his bag. Nagito thought with his lucky streak so far, something would surely distract him before he dug through the cans of Dr. Hopper and found the switch.
He was wrong, the switch had been shifted right to the top by his stumble earlier. The guard pulled out the switch, carefully avoiding pressing it and called for backup. A large man with a fluffy overcoat arrived, and dragged Nagito to headmaster Kirigiri's office. Nagito was slapped with suspension, while Ruruka, Seiko and Izayoi stayed in the school and the gym remained un-exploded. The exams went on a planned, and everybody passed.
With Chisa not being sent to teach the reserve course, Junko wasn't able to dig into Class 77. Without them, she was forced to recruit from the reserve course for her manpower instead, using the first killing game as evidence of why they should fight Hope's peak. Ruruka saw how Junko won over the reserve course and did one better, promising candy that would give superior abilities if they joined her group instead of Junko's (she had made WAY more than she needed for her exam). Naturally, the ambitious reserve course took up her offer of more power, leaving Junko with only her meager band of 4 people (herself included).
When she attempted to use the despair anime to convert people, most people simply ignored it, and the few that didn't ended up causing enough destruction that Junko's gang was arrested for disturbing the peace.
THE END.
