" I wonder who that could be?" Yuri said as she got off me.
" If the door has been breached, I guess I need to make preparations to receive our uninvited guest." Yuri spoke with an air of elegance around her. Her refined mannerisms is a stark contrast to the horrible environment that surrounds her.
" Please bear with me, Yoku. This may sting a bit..." She took a hammer and raised it above her head. In her other hand, is a large nail which she hovered above my right hand.
" MHHHMM! MHHHHM!" I cry out, only to be muffled by her panties that she forced into my mouth.
I nearly blacked out due to the pain. My hand has been punctured due to the force of the hammer driving the large nail deep into me. My body convulsed and I struggled with all my might. The numerous wounds on my body now spurting blood as I thrashed around. As if that wasn't enough, she pulled out another nail and firmly embedded it into my foot. The pain was enough for me to black out, I look at my mangled body one last time. The numerous wounds that covered my body is truly a sight to gruesome for anyone to see..
*DDLC: Our Reality*
Monika panted as she stood atop the broken door. She kicked it down after she found it locked. She stepped into the quiet abode, finding its interior tidy and smelled of Jasmine. Monika looked around to see if she could find any clue as to where Yoku is. Then, like a hot knife splitting a stick of butter, a muffled cry shot trough the air, breaking the silence of the house. She looked at the direction of the noise, a door underneath the staircase with numerous locks and chains strewn about. Monika paused for a moment to see if she could hear the cry for help once again. Then, she heard it once more from within the door. Monika dashed towards the door, her eyes are filled with anger and frustration. The moment she swung open the door, a horrible odor reached her nose. She stepped back and her eyes widened in fear at the realization that she may have been too late. The scent she had just smelled is the stench of blood.
Monika gulped and steeled herself. She took a deep breath and dove headfirst into the unknown depths of the cellar. The stench increased in intensity, yet Monika pushed on. As she raced f
down the flight of stairs, she felt her heart race faster. She kept thinking about the things she might see once she reaches the bottom and what should she do with Yuri after this. A part of her wanted to delete her right there, but the other only wished for this to stop. Cold sweat dripped from her face as she climbed down the stairs, each step heavier than the last. As she reached the bottom, she felt something wet underneath her shoe. She looked down to see a small puddle of blood.
" Yoku... Please don't die on me... I still need you..." Monika said to herself in a trembling voice.
She heard a pained breathing from the other side of the room. She looked around the pitch-black room. It took a while for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, but when she finally saw what is in store for her, she wished that she didn't go down there. In the middle of the room is a bed where Yoku is currently tied up. Monika stammered forward, her face contorting into an expression of horror and anguish. As she neared him, she saw what has become of her beloved Yoku. His body is covered in large and deep wounds, his arms being lacerated to the point where she saw the bones being exposed. A few holes can be seen in his limbs, a sign that Yoku was stabbed by a knife and some other weapon. She saw his right hand and foot nailed to the bed like some ragdoll. She was about to take off the nails when she took a good look at his hands, or at least what remained of it. His fingers are bent out of shape, some even bending backward. The nails are either missing or is hanging by a thread. His legs are broken beyond repair, a bone fragment can be seen protruding from under his knee. He may not even be able to walk in the future. Monika saw that Yoku is having difficulty in breathing, and she saw that a rib is bent out of shape. Monika felt helpless and defeated, seeing the one who was supposed to save them reduced to such a state. She can only cry out and wail in pain. She could see that this is extremely painful for Yoku, yet she cannot even help him. She took off the fabric in his mouth, which turned aout to be a pair of black panties.
" I'm... I'm... sorry... It was my fault... If only I didn't mess up the game, you wouldn't have come here..." Monika cried out in sorrow as she held Yoku's hand.
" This... T-This is all...My fault..." Monika caressed his brown hair, her tears flowing down her cheeks like a river. Suddenly, Yoku's eyelids twitched before slowly opening.
" Monika..." Yoku wheezed out, wincing in pain. Monika wiped away her tears and was overjoyed to see that Yoku could still talk.
" YOKU! I-I'M HERE FOR YOU!" Monika began to hectically pull at his restraints.
" No... Get... Get out... Leave me..." Yoku tried to push her away in vain. Monika shot him a confused look.
" What are you saying?! I'm taking-"
" You d-don't... understand!!! This... is a trap!" Yoku shouted out before coughing up blood. Some of it landing on Monika's clothes. He then slipped into unconsciousness once again.
Suddenly, Monika hears a chair being pushed aside and a pair of foot steps rushing towards her. She turned around to try and see where the blow is gonna hit, but it already found its mark. She felt a cold piece of metal hit her rigt cheek. She was sent flying, crashing against the wall and hitting her head. She then fell unconscious due to the impact to her head. As her vision blurred, she saw Yuri walking towards her.
*DDLC: Our Reality*
I woke up once again, this is the fifth time I fell unconscious. I can't move or talk that much, I think a rib just punctured my lung. I was no longer tied to the bed, but hands and feet are nailed firmly to it. I looked around to see where is Monika. After I painfully turned my head to the side, I saw her chained to the spot where I was previously chained. She was stripped of her clothes except for her underwear. She was wearing the white bra and white panties I bought for her, that was my favorite pair. I tried to call her name, but my vocal chords have been torn out from my excessive screaming. I looked at her face, her cheek is bruised and swelling up. My heart dropped at this sight, this gut-wrenching scene. I try to struggle but I have lost my energy due to blood loss. Then, I saw her twitch a little bit before she opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion before laying her sights on me.
" Yoku... I'm sorry I was too late." She began to cry, her tears made my heart ache.
" Mo..ika... Don't... ry... Elp... will... come... soon... right?" I wheeze out before giving her a weak smile. She nods, yet her eyes showed sadness.
" Yeah... But it may take a while." Monika said weakly.
" Yoku... If we get out of this alive... I want to go to the beach." Monika said weakly as she tried to break out of her chains.
" Sure... count on... it..." I said weakly, letting out a long sigh afterwards.
Suddenly, we hear dreadful footsteps go down the flight of stairs. It was Yuri, bringing with her a tray with three tea cups on it. She smiled as she placed one by my side, before walking over to Monika. I felt disgusted by this, seeing as how she treated this as a joke. She let out a sigh as she sat beside Monika. Monika's gaze felt like it could melt steel, yet Yuri remained unfazed by this.
" Oh my... Please don't be mad, club president! I was just showing Yoku here a different kind of pleasure! That's all." Turi said as she handed Monika a tea cup. Monika scowls at her.
" Shut the fuck up... You're expecting me to drink with my hands tied like this?" Monika glared at her with killing intent.
" Ah! Yes, you're right... Here, let me help you drink your tea." Suddenly, Yuri splashed Monika with the scalding hot tea. Monika screamed out in pain while Yuri laughed in glee.
" AHAHAHA! That's right! You should burn in hell for taking my Yoku away from me!" Yuri shouted as Monika writhes in pain. I too began to struggle and try to get myself free.
" I'll... I'LL KILL YOU!" Monika shouted at Yuri before spitting on her face. She is still wincing at the pain she felt.
" Tch, rude. You refuse to be punished for your transgressions against me." Yuri said to her before pulling her hair. Monika cried out in pain as Yuri yanked forcefully.
" You already have everything... A beautiful figure, intelligence, popularity, you're athletic, and most of all... you are beloved by your peers! Me? All I wanted was Yoku! Him!" Yuri punched Monika in the stomach while she tugged harder. Monika coughed in pain. I felt helpless as I watch Yuri hit her repeatedly.
" Why?! Why must you take him?! You have so many options, yet you chose him..." Yuri lets go of Monika and takes a sit once again. She was on the brink of tears.
" Because... He... He saved me from the loneliness that has been eating me from the inside... The feeling if being trapped in an endless abyss. Yoku pulled me out of that feeling and brought me to the light!" Monika said proudly, a faint glimmer of hope shined in her eyes.
" If only... if only you knew, Yuri... How Yoku wanted to save us all..." Monika said as she let out a chuckle, but she starts vomiting shortly after.
" You sure do... Pack a punch..." Monika said as she coughs.
A moment of awkward silence fell between us. Yuri stared into the ceiling, contemplating about something. Monika sighed as she stared at me, her eyes watering as she continued to look at me. Yuri glanced at my direction and back at Monika. She was looking intently at her, like she was planning something bad against her.
" You know... The response time of the police are pretty long. It might take 15 minutes just for them to arrive at a location." Yuri said as she twirled a knife in her fingers.
" Heh, that's probably enough time for the two of us..." Monika said in a smug tone, irritating Yuri.
" Sooner or later, I'll break that facade of yours." Yuri said as she stood up and looked at Monika's exposed arm.
I shut my eyes closed and tried my best to ignore Monika's screams. I was furious, I wanted to just... die. I could hear Yuri cut Monika's skin. Monika cried out in pain, I could hear her shackles shake violently. Afyer a while, Monika stopped screaming and Yuri took a sit in front of her. I took a look and saw that Monika's arms are covered in nasty slits.
" Monika... Why don't you ask God for help?" Yuri said as she pointed at me.
" I... I beg your pardon-"
" Isn't Akami-sensei a god?" Our eyes widened in shock as Yuri said those words.
" I... I don't think that's a nice joke..." Monika said as she averted her gaze from Yuri.
" Hmm? You didn't know? How?! It was so obvious, he manifested items from air like it was nothing! Like that time when we are eating lunch, I saw him pull out lunch boxes out of thin air for us to eat! And the feeling he gets when he watches you, I could sometimes feel that even when he is not around..." Yuri said as stared into the corner. Her lips curling into a smile.
" I bet he's watching right now... He is probably laughing at ho-" Yuri was cut off by the sounds of sirens from above us.
" Hehehe, took her long enough..." Monika smiled as she looked at Yuri.
" Ah... no... Well, I guess I had enough time." Yuri turned around and walked over to a table. The floor shook above us as I hear what seems to sound like footsteps.
" It has come to this, huh? If I cannot have Yoku, in life... I'll have him in the next." Yuri raised her knife and glanced at me.
" But first... Monika, tell Akami-sensei I sent my regards." Yuri turned around and stabbed Monika in the gut.
" Ugh... Y-Yoku... *Blergh*" Monika starts vomiting blood as Yuri pulled out her knife. Yuri smiled as she stared at Monika, all color and life draining from her body. Then, she pointed the knife to herself and raised it high.
" Monika... MONIKAAAA!!!" I scream out, and I struggled violently to free myself.
As painful as it is, I yank my hand and foot free from the nail impaled in it. It caused me a lot of pain, but at least I'm free. My right leg is shattered and broken that it felt like jelly, while my left is still in a good condition despite it being fractured. Using the last ounce of strength I have, I pounced on Yuri and tackled her with all my might. I felt every open wound in my body spurt out blood, the last of my blood in fact. Yuri struggled violently as I try to restrain her. She clawed and scratched me as i got on top of her. It was so damn hard fighting trough the pain, yet I endured. I clenched my fists and felt the adrenaline surge into my head. With the last of my breath, I jab Yuri in the stomach, causing her to get knocked out and vomit all over me. But, in the midst of our violent struggle, she somehow managed to stab me in the chest. Not just that, I felt my lung get punctured. Blood spewed forth from my mouth, it's distinct metallic taste reminded me of my bitter victory. I look over at Monika, who is still alive. It seems, by some miracle, Yuri missed and stabbed her in the side of her waist. She looked at me with horrified eyes as I crawled towards her.
" YOKU! NO! NO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" She screamed out as I place my head on her lap. Her bloodstained hands touching the knife still imbedded in my chest.
" Monika... I... Love..." My strength to speak faded. I felt the creeping embrace of death all over me as I slipped into an eternal slumber.
" Yoku! Please! Don't... Don't die! Don't leave me alone in this world again..." Monika said as she clings onto me. I could only manage a faint smile. It's a shame, my last memory would be how sad she looked. How sorrowful her beautiful green eyes appeared as she cried for me.
" Yoku!!! PLEASE! STAY WITH ME! I BEG YOU!" She cried out. I heard the footsteps of people rushing down the stairs. I hope it was the paramedics, they need to get the two treated for their injuries.
As my vision and hearing get hazy, I felt cold... extremely cold. I was having a hard time breathing. I could see the blurry outline of Maido holding me in her arms. It's funny, I don't feel her anymore. She hugs me tightly. It would probably feel warm. I finally close my eyes as she wraps her arms around me, I'm getting too tired keeping them open anyway. I can hear the hazy noises around me, I think Monika is crying. I really want to say sorry and comfort her for making her cry, but I'm too tired. I rest my head on the hands of Maido, slowly realizing that the everything is fading away.
Its now pitch black, and I can't see or feel a thing. It's getting frigid now. I can't feel anything. The noises of everyone around me has vanished. Yes... I really need some sleep after all of that. I closed my eyes, wait... they are closed. I think.
Whatever, I need to sleep...
After a while, I woke up in a bright space. Nothing is in here, except for two words. They were in front of me, and they had a simple message. They were written in a bold font. Below them is a small Akami-sama doll in a parade costume with cymbals repeating the words in a sing-song manner, like it's mocking me. I look up once more at the words, letting out a sigh as I shake my head. I've lost Monika and the others for a 36th time now, but this time, it is not them but me that died.
I stare at the words again, taking in the realization that I have failed... That I didn't get the Good Ending, rather... I ended up with the ending I hated the most.
BAD END
