As Komaru roughly landed on the roof of a random building in Towa City, she was expecting to die in mere minutes. Monokumas were already starting to climb up and towards her. Her hand went towards the Hacking Gun she had clipped onto her uniform top. Dr. Freeman made fighting these things look easy. But then Servant's words came back to her.
"However, it was a bit too powerful. I made a few adjustments."
He must've made it weaker than it was when Gordon had it, but she still had to try. Aiming the weapon at an approaching Monokuma, she started to squeeze the trigger-
And then a stranger with messy, dark purple hair sped through, slitting the throats of the Monokumas surrounding her. As they all fell to the ground, Komaru watched in terror as this crazy girl started laughing at her work.
"Oh, killing these things just doesn't light my fire!" The stranger said between cackles. However, she suddenly stopped, turning her head to face Komaru. "Eeehhhh...? Found you~"
As her sentence finished, every Monokuma laying there exploded at once, completely obscuring Komaru's vision. When she was able to see again, the stranger was right up in her face, crazed red eyes glaring right at her. "You're Komaru Naegi, right? Rightright? Riiight!? If you don't tell me, I'll cut you into pieces and line you up at the meat counter."
"Yes! That's right!" Komaru admitted. "That's exactly who I am!" The stranger lowered her scissors as the sound of more climbing Monokumas echoed around the duo. "T- There's more of them!?" Komaru asked, causing the stranger to start cackling again.
"Man, what a pain." The crazy girl said, throwing her scissors right between the eyes of a Monokuma, blowing it up instantly. Komaru watched in amazement and horror at this girl's accuracy as said girl grabbed her hand and dragged her away, shouting "Rendezvous!"
Once out of sight behind a ventilation unit, the crazy girl finally slowed down for a moment. "Ahh, so that Monokuma's some kind of automoton robot... No wonder it sucks more than the other one! Well, that's modern technology for you! It's not like this is sci-fi or something, it's borderline sci-fi at most!"
"Uh, um..."
"Yes, madame? What business do you have with me?"
"A- are you... Here to rescue me?"
In response, the crazy girl threatened Komaru at scissor-point again. "...Hm, Dekomaru, was it?"
"I- It's 'Komaru'..."
"And where's Master Byakuya? You know where he is, right?"
The answer was: she didn't. She knew who this girl was talking about, having met the guy in question trying to escape her imprisonment in an apartment building, but he was overrun by Monokumas and she hadn't seen him since.
"H- Huh?"
"That gun you're holding... It's dripping with Master's scent!"
"You can smell it?"
"You got a death wish or somethin'!? Hiding Master from me is sure to cut your life expectancy!"
"N- No, no, no. I'm not hiding hi-"
"Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven..."
"Wh- What are you doing!?"
"If you don't give me my Master by the time I get to zero, I'm going to cut you like wet mochi! Four. Three. Two..."
"H- Hold on! I really don't know-"
"One..."
"..."
Crazy-girl's grip on her scissors started weakening, her hand shaking. She started completely spasming for a second, her eyes rolling back in her head like slot machines before turning grey, dropping the scissors.
"Uh- Um... Who are you!?"
"Huh!?"
"Ah, wait, don't tell me! You're Komaru Naegi, aren't you!? I got it, right!?"
"Uh, I just told you that..."
"Oh, did you? I- I can't help it, y'know? I don't share memories with her!"
"Her? Memories? Gah, jeez! Stop saying stuff that makes no sense! Everything is confusing enough as it is... At least tell me if you're an enemy or a friend!"
"W- Well, you can call me your ally." The stranger muttered.
"Then come on! If we don't hurry, we're going to get attacked!"
"I- It's alright..."
"Huh?"
"N- No. It's alright. I can... I can do this. Because I made a promise... With hiim~"
The stranger seemed to zone out for a second. "Um... Are you okay?"
"Like I said, it'll be alright! I can make good use of her now! I've learned a lot since then... We're gonna take 'em all down right here, right now! I'll... I'll smash 'em to pieces! L- Let's go... Um... Omaru Naegi!"
"Omaru?"
The stranger didn't answer, instead stepping past Komaru, putting a stun gun up to her head, and pulling the trigger, immediately switching back to crazy mode. Said crazy mode made effortless work of the Monokumas around. She practically danced around them, twirling, parrying, slicing, throwing. She'd dispatched all of them in less than half a minute, leaving Komaru with a bit of Deja vu from a certain theoretical physicist...
"Amazing..." She found herself muttering again. "That was amazing! What was that just now!? It's like you were a completely different person!"
"...Too casual."
"D- Don't speak to me so casually! I'm your senior!"
"B- But you still haven't told me your name..."
"Hmph. I'm sure you're just going to forget it right away, but... It's Toko Fukawa.
"Toko... Fukawa..."
"Oh, sorry for having such a boring name!" Toko said. "I bet you think it's perfect for a hag like me, right!?"
"No, I don't think that at all! And besides, what was that all about earlier? You were a completely different person!"
"I... Couldn't tell you."
"What?"
"I don't remember! Didn't I already tell you? I told you, we don't share memories."
"Um... I still don't really get it..."
"Gr, it's like I said! I have a split personality! That 'girl' was Genocide Jack!"
"...Ooookaaayyyy?"
"Y- You don't believe me, right? You think I'm just some filthy woman who's sick in the head! Y- You're probably wondering how a stupid pig managed to learn how to talk, aren't you!?"
"I don't think that! Well... Maybe the first bit... I mean, it's true that it's pretty hard to believe, and I was pretty surprised... But, if that's what you say, I believe you. It was a pretty drastic change, after all."
"You believe me just like that? What are you, stupid or something?"
"Well what was I supposed to say?"
"Hmph. If you really are this stupid, that just makes things easier."
"It's just... I feel like I've heard the name 'Genocide Jack' somewhere before..."
"I- I see... So you still remember. Well, no point in hiding it now. It was all over the talk shows back in the day..."
"Talk shows...? Wait, could it be...? No, nevermind. Couldn't be."
"Wh- What?"
"It's just... I feel like I've heard a similar name on the news about some serial killer."
"Funny story..." Toko muttered.
"What!?"
"B- But that was in the old days! I've completely tamed her since then! Mmmm... Master commanded me to discover the secret, and I learned the stun gun does the trick. And, depending on how much shock I give myself, after a while I go back to my normal self. Hehehe! Isn't it great? It's all thanks to Master Byakuya~"
"Well, anyway. It seems like a good skill to have! With that power, we can get through 'em easy!"
"D- Don't be dense! Didn't I just say I need the stun gun to change!? My brain would fry if I did it over and over again!"
"Really?"
"A- Anyway. What's your relationship with Master Byakuya? Why do you have that Hacking Gun?"
"He saved me earlier... He gave this gun to me..."
"S- Saved!? Master Byakuya... Saved you!?" Toko seethed on the spot for a few moments, prompting Komaru to try and snap her out of her second trance in the past ten minutes. "D- Don't get ahead of yourself! Just because you're ugly in a... In a cute way..."
"Why are you angry!?"
"R- Remember this: I won't let anyone interfere in my romance with Master! I'm going to rescue Master, and then, in the heat of the moment, we'll- Hey, who's that behind you?"
Komaru turned, finding a familiar-looking bearded man in an orange power suit, holding a crowbar.
"Dr. Freeman!?"
Dr. Freeman waved lightly to Komaru before Toko screamed, turning to face her, she saw a crab-looking creature the size of a pumpkin latch onto Toko's head. "Get if off! Get it off!" Toko shrieked. Komaru's attention was briefly caught by a flash of light, and Dr. Freeman was gone.
Komaru reached over, pulling the surprisingly light creature off of Toko's head, who promptly stepped back and away from it. "Komaru, throw that thing off the roof!"
"What? Why?"
"It's a Headcrab. They've been all over the wild since the Black Mesa Incident. They're parasites that can latch onto a host's head and take control of them. They mutate the body into a sort of zombie. It isn't good. Now get rid of that thing, or I will!"
Komaru stared at this 'Headcrab' for a moment, noticing something odd. "Hey... How do they latch onto heads? Do you know?"
"I- I think they have a beak or something that can break through the skull and into the brain. Why?"
"Where is it normally?" Komaru asked, flipping the Headcrab over.
"I think... Wait a minute, it's not there!"
In response, Komaru flipped the creature back over, and it immediately jumped up and onto her head, causing Toko to shriek again. "Komaru! What are you doing!?" She stepped forward to remove the creature, but Komaru noticed another thing.
"It isn't attacking. It's just... Sitting there."
"Holy shit... You're right! Someone must have de-beaked it or something. But who would've...?"
"I dunno. But they're probably looking for it."
"Komaru, you're not seriously suggesting-"
"Can we keep it? It's not like its doing any harm! And besides, it's kinda cute..."
"I'm not gonna convince you to leave it, am I?"
"Nope!"
