(AN)It's time for the exciting conclusion! I hope you guys like it, it's my favorite part.
Trial Resume!
(Warning Character death and depressing themes.)
*Discussion-HEAT UP-*
"You're right I killed Katie." I answered. Everyone had different reactions, some of surprise, some of anger, and some of shear despair.
"Yo-yo-you killed Ka-" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" Sierra's rage overshadowed Sadie's.
"All of you are wrong! Cody would never do that! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You need evidence, where's you evidence?! You need it or else all of this is just bulls**t and wrong!" Sierra screamed.
"But the geek admitted it, what more proof do you need?" Mal asked.
"You all set him up!" "Sierra please." "Why would he help us solve the murder? It doesn't make sense!" Sierra ranted.
Non-Stop Debate
"Why would Cody help us..."-Sierra
"...If he's the murderer!?"-Sierra
"It wouldn't make sense!"-Sierra
"Maybe he felt bad?"-Lindsay
"Cody was with me during the murder!"-Sierra
"He couldn't do it"-Sierra
You've got that Wrong!
Evidence:Spa Day Time Period
"Sierra, blatantly lying won't help anyone. You know I went to the bathroom at 2:10 and came back at 2:34." I pointed out.
"Mmmmmmmph! Defend yourself Cody everyone thinks you're the killer!" Sierra chastised.
I told her, "I am."
"Ugh I can't take it anymore it was me, I killed Katie!" she screamed.
She did not just do that. "Sierra we both know that can't be. And I can prove it." I said.
Why couldn't Sierra be the killer?
1. She's too clumsy
2. She couldn't hide the mop
3. She couldn't hide the towel
4. Sadie's the killer
Answer- 2. She couldn't hide the mop.
"Sierra remember where we found the mop?" I asked her. She silently seethed. "The boy's bathroom."
"Well...how did you get in Katie's room!" Sierra yelled.
How did you get in Katie's room?
(Kitchen Knife/wet towel/Katie's Id-Card)
Answer: Katie's ID-Card
"I just used Katie's ID-Card."
"You have no connection." She said as a matter of fact. "And what is that supposed to mean?" Heather asked.
"It's all just theories unless you can come up with solid evidence that he did it." She said smiling.
"Fine." Looks like Sierra has one last defense, I guess I just have to take it down. I'm sorry for all of the trouble I caused you Sierra.
Sierra vs The Court
"Is his confession not evidence enough?" Jo asked.
"You need more than that, sorry!"
"Just give up, this is just getting sad." Mal commented.
"I don't hear any evidence."
"Please Sierra let's just finnish this." Bridgette begged.
"So you want us all to die?"
"That is not what she asked miss!" Brick announced.
"To die because we picked Cody instead of the real killer?"
"Because there's nothing."
"You all just fooled yourselves into thinking it's true."
"You even tricked Cody!"
"But you made one mistake."
"There's absolutely nothing solid that you can use to connect him to the crime!"
Final Strike: Wet Towel
"Sierra the towel you found, didn't it have a red stain?" Sierra took a shallow breath. "I want you all to imagine Katie wildly swing a knife at the killer, do you think the killer would be injured?" I asked everyone.
"I knew that was blood!" Izzy yelled. "I see so the 'killer' to take a shower, and ended up staining the towel with their own wound?" Alejandro asked. "I just remembered something, when Cody came back from the bathroom he was wearing a shirt!" Bridgette said.
"So if Cody takes off his shirt and has a wound, that will be all the proof needed?" Eva asked. "Well let's see." I told her. I proceeded to pull my shirt over my head. Lindsay covered her eyes, but the others were more preoccupied to be embarrassed.
It still stung, and was fairly thin, but you could still see. Sierra struck her stand with her fist, as she saw the red cut on my abdomen.
"Upupupu! I think this is as good as time as any to move onto the grand finale, no? Unless of course Cody wants to share a conversation with his...executioners." Monokuma said, promptly giggling.
"Ooooh I'm still confused! What really happened?" Lindsay asked. "I guess I should explain it to you all. Since this trial is over, here's everything that happened."
Climax Inference
*Climax Return*
Act 1
"It all started the night before the Spa Day, as I can guess. After receiving our Motives from Monokuma Katie was stuck between a rock and a hard place. It wasn't until she had a fight with Sadie that she decided to try and escape, with the cost of someone's life. The next day they hurried to an empty Cafeteria to snatch a knife, passing the killer and Sierra. After taking the Knife, she wrapped a blanket around her to protect herself from bloodstains, and then slipped into the Janitor's closet to wait for a victim."
Act 2
"When the Spa Day was happening, one guest decided to go to the bathroom. Coming back, they were suddenly grabbed and pulled into the closet. They were thrown to the back of the room as Katie went in for the kill. But then something unexpected happened. The killer grabbed a Mop and protected themselves with it. Defending themselves with the mop, they then cornered Katie to the back of the room."
Act 3
"The killer proceeded to kick Katie, knocking her into the shelf. She knocked down a bottle of sanitizer to the floor, the killer then saw their chance. They took the bottle and splashed it onto Katie's face. Katie, in pain, accidently dropped the knife to the ground. The killer saw their chance, and picked it up. The killer quickly swung wildly at Katie with the knife, cutting up her arm. Until finally the killer stabbed Katie in the stomach. Quickly wrapping up her body in the blanket, they then proceeded to hide any evidence."
Act 4
"The killer took Katie's body to her room, using her ID-Card to enter the room. They then ran to their own room and took a shower to wash off any bloodstains. They then dried themselves with a towel they snatched from Katie's room, accidently staining it with blood from their own wound. They the went back to Katie's room, and threw the towel into the shower. They kicked the ID-Card under the bed and left, leaving the door open a crack. Then they went to the closet, cleaned up the chemicals, and then took the damaged mop to hide it in the boy's bathroom."
"The person who did all this, was me. Cody Anderson."
"So any questions?" I asked everyone. "Yeah, why did you help us out?" Izzy asked. "Oh it was easy really." I answered. "I just felt so much guilt that, I kinda' wanted to turn myself in. By the way thanks B, you really are a genius." B blushed slightly.
"Upupu it's finally time for all of you to bring down justice on our little Cody-kins! Please use the screens in front of your stands to vote for who you think is the killer! Remember you all have to vote! You wouldn't want to be punished for something so minor, do you?"Monokuma said.
Everyone proceeded to, all except one who stared blankly at the screen. I knew I was going to have to explain everything. "Sierra?"
She just silently stood. "Sierra, you have to vote." She began shivering. "Sie-" "I caaaaan't!" She wailed crying. "I don't want you t-to die!"
"Sierra please, I made the mistake so I have to pay for it! You have to vote for me, or Monokuma will kill you." "But I can't live without you! I planned everything! Our marriage, the names of our six children, the honeymoon, our Happy ending! I spent my whole life just to get to you and now you want to die! I can't do this, I want my happy ending! I want Coderra to survive! I'm nothing without you! Nobody cares if I'm gone, you're the only other than my mother that actually likes me! I can't lose you! I need you! I'll die if I have-"
"Sierra! Don't be stupid! You are the most beautiful, smartest, and bravest person I've have ever met. You don't deserve me, killing yourself over me is the stupidest thing you could possibly do! Without you, I wouldn't have lasted a week on world tour, and yes you might not be mentally stable, or know how boundaries work, or what's sociably acceptable! But that doesn't erase the fact that I f*cked up and killed Katie! And if you kill yourself over me, then the guilt would be worse than death itself!"
"But but..." I stopped her before she could say anything. I looked directly into her eyes and told her. "Sierra please, promise me one thing! When I die, move on, forget about me if you have to. But live, I want you and every person in this god forsaken school to live! I want you to make sure that the game doesn't continue, and if it does, don't blame anyone for their actions! You can beat Monokuma, and you can win this games. Because I believe in you, and I hope, you believe in yourself. Please vote for me and don't cry for me."
She stared at me crying, and then she said. "Aren't you scared?" I decided to tell her the truth. "I'm scared sh*tless, but you are what matters now. Sierra keep this." I handed her the journal that I had brought with me. Move on, because I lost, and don't lose hope." She hugged the journal tightly and then stared at the screen in front of her.
She cringed at it before finally pressing a button, she then looked back at me and said. "I'll miss you..."
The Slot machine next to Monokuma started up, and the three-segmented dial with several of the contestant's faces on it began to spin. It spun for a few seconds, and then the segments of the dial stopped one at a time. All faces were the same, the machine spewed several monocoins as the dials all landed on Cody.
Class Trial End
"Congratulations Cody has won in a landslide. Now we'll see if you made the right choice, or the despairingly wrong one. After reviewing my cameras, I have to admit without a doubt that Cody is...Guilty!" Monokuma announced.
"I guess I owe you guys an apology, I guess I can say that didn't mean to kill her, but what's done is done. You guys are pretty good at this mystery thing, and I hope you guys can move on without me. Oh and Sadie, before Katie died she told me to tell you something." Sadie glare at me, but I could see a little bit of curiosity in her eyes.
Flash Back
*Welcome to Despair Academy*
I stared at her beneath me, I barely understood what I had just done. But when she coughed up a bit of blood I looked down at her. The knife was in deep, if you took it out it would cause more damage than good. I dropped to my knees as I saw her heavily breathing.
"Oh god, oh god. Katie I'm sorry...I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry! you shouldn't have done that! Why did you have to attack me! You know what this means now, oh go I'm doomed."
I repeated the words several times in front of the bleeding girl. Then she began to gasp for air. She then spoke to me.
"I'm s-so-sorry t-too. I wa-wa-was self-fish. Te-te-tell Sadie i'm sorry..." She shuddered before falling limp. The last bit of her life had just escaped her.
End of Flash Back
"I know I don't deserve pity, but, don't hold anything against Katie. She was just scared, and didn't think things through clearly."
Sadie turned away, so that no one could see her tears. I then felt something constrict my chest. Sierra was hugging me again and crying. I hugged her back. "Don't worry guys I won't be gone forever. I mean this is probably going to suck majorly but...huh...I guess All I can say is that I'll miss you guys!" I decided to do something quick before I left, so I pecked Sierra on the cheek. She grabbed my head and smashed our lips together.
"I hope you guys can live in peace, especially you Sierra, promise me you guys won't kill yourselves?" "Only for you...Cody." Sierra finally let me go.
"I think I said everything I needed to say, so Monokuma, show me what you got!"
"Oh yay, it's about time we get the show on the road! I've prepared a very special punishment for Cody-kins the Geek, Let's give it everything we've got. Iiiit's Punishment Time!" Monokuma stated, before a large red button rose from the ground, in front of the bear. Monokuma pulled out a toy hammer and slammed it onto a button.
A screen descended from the ceiling as I could feel the ring of stands rotate. The screen displaye a pixelated me at the gallows, a noose was around my neck. A digital Monokuma walked to a lever, and pulled it. I was then hunged as the following words were displayed.
*Dangan Ronpa-Thousand Knocks*
Cody had been Found Guilty.
Preparing Punishment.
Die Hard Fan Club
Everyone looked at Cody as the entire room went dark, and a spotlight shone on him. Then a lound clang was heard when a steel collar on a chain latched onto his neck. The wall behind him had opened up, and he was pulled through. He was dragged away to an unknown location while Monokuma ordered the remaining competitors to follow Cody.
Cody was dragged into a large and incredibly dark room and dropped onto a red carpet.. The collar detached from his neck and was pulled away to somewhere else. Two steel fences rose from the ground, side by side of Cody. A giant cardboard background of a city at sunrise fell from the ceiling.
Rows of Monokumas popped up behind the fences, jumping up and down, cheering for Cody. Several camera flashes illuminated the scene along side spotlights. From where he was he could see his fellow cast mates behind a crowd of Monokumas, and two incredibly larged, and armed Monokuma guards.
Then a low rumbling was heard. It steadily grew louder as saw what lay behind him. A large mob of Monokumas wearing Cody t-shirts, and holding signs with his face on them were running towards him. He realized that he would be trampled if he didn't move, so he ran.
The mob charged at the geek screaming and giggling as he ran away from them. When it looked like he could outrun them, he ran into a wall. He fell on his back, but quickly got up again. He tried to punch at the supposedly fake wall, but to no avvail.
Then Cody heard the giggling. The mob stopped just right behind him and their slash like eyes began to glow red. Several paws popped out of the crowd and grabbed onto Cody, dragging him into the middle of the mob. Cody struggled and actually broke through halfway from the top, but the bears dragged him inwards. The sounds of punches and scraping was heard, then the mob ran back.
All that remained of Cody was some scraps of clothing, and a trail of blood that the Mob left behind.
Executed:Cody
"Aaaaagh!" Lindsay screamed after watching Cody be executed. "Holy sh*t!" jo yelled.
"Extreme! Wasn't that just exhilirating?" I've been itching to execute one of you bastards just to see the looks of gorgeous despair on your faces!" Monokuma said making a little happy dance.
"You're sick!" Bridgette screamed.
"Yeah, yeah, you know what you guys are killing my mood. Go to bed!" Monokuma shrieked. The doors to the elevator had opened, two in particular got there first.
Sadie was silent and stood in the corner, then Sierra entered. She was crying incredibly, but stared at the journal in her hands as well. She then whispered to herself, "I promise."
Everyone else had filed into the now more roomey elevator, hoping that they never have to enter it again.
"These bastards never learn do they, the more hope you have, the more fun it is for me to crush it! Upupupupupu."

Congratulations! Gift Received: Cody's Journal
Well that's that, the first episode...Done! I hope you guys enjoyed my story and stay tune for episode 2: "Think Hopeless Thoughts". These last two chapters were a doozy for me, so I hope you like them. I also like calling this chapter, ill-fated Coderra (Do I ship them? Eh maybe a little, but only when Sierra is calm like the end of World tour.)Now-
Why I Killed Cody Second
To be honest, I just really wanted to do this twist. The good thing about having two protagonists is that you can kill any single one you want! But don't worry, if you liked Cody he'll still play a large part in the story.
Now tell me in the reviews if you were right, or wrong. Also tell me who you think the next killer/victim will be. And finally what were your thoughrs on the trial, characters, Cody, Sierra, the twist, and my writing. I hope you guys stick around, but for now...
The End- Anontomy
