Now we're getting into Dangan Ronpa 2. Also I will say that this first scenario is BASED off of "System Restore" by CarthagoDelenda but is specifically designed to not PLAGIARIZE him. Other disclaimer: I don't own Dangan Ronpa.
Chapter 6: Hiyoko Saionji
Everything that had been happening over the last few days sent Hajime Hinata's mind spinning. He was stuck on an island with fifteen other people instead of experiencing his first day of school at Hope's Peak Academy. Still, his classmates seemed nice enough. Byakuya Togami, a well known prodigy. Teruteru Hanamura, an accomplished chef. Mahiru Koizumi, an exceptional photographer. Peko Pekoyama, a talented swordswoman. Hiyoko Saionji, a classical dancer. Ibuki Mioda, a well-rounded musician. Mikan Tsumiki, a competent nurse. Nekomaru Nidai, a young coach. Gundham Tanaka, a renowned animal breeder. Chiaki Nanami, a top-notch gamer. Kazuichi Soda, a skilled mechanic. Sonia Nevermind, a princess from a thriving country. Akane Owari, a legendary gymnast. Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, the heir to a powerful Yakuza family.
The only oddity seemed to be Nagito Komaeda, who was apparently chosen to be in the school by random lottery. In many ways he and Hajime made a connection, since Hajime couldn't even remember his own talent. The first two islands they were on had an airport, though the planes were not working, a supermarket, a nice hotel, a farm, and a park in the center island. Things seemed to pleasant enough, despite the fact that nothing about this made sense. And then the strange creature known as Monokuma showed up, and introduced the Mutual Killing Game instead of the friendship building exercise their "teacher" Usami had introduced. Within minutes Monokuma had completely taken control of the field trip, including Usami. Or rather, Monomi.
To make matters worse, Monokuma had summoned five "Monobeasts" who were subservient to him. Add to that the fact that a ticking clock was now put in place of the statue the Monobeasts came from. And just to make things even worse, Monokuma had dropped a bomb on everyone by revealing that Monomi had apparently erased all of their memories. He then promised to return them personally once the game got started. "This is just great," Hajime said, "And right when I was ready to settle into things." There was one bright side, however. Byakuya had apparently decided to throw a party that night.
Nagito had suggested using the old lodge for the party's location, so as to keep it out of sight from Monokuma. He then wound up being selected to clean the place up. Once the nighttime announcement came on, Hajime headed for the old lodge. Inside, Byakuya was waiting just inside the front entrance. "Glad you could make it," he said, "Sorry about this, but I need to do a quick body check to make sure you aren't carrying anything dangerous." Hajime sighed. He knew Byakuya had made a vow not to allow a single victim. Hajime chalked it up to his caution and went ahead with it.
Nagito had done a great job cleaning the old lodge up, and there was a nice spread provided by Teruteru. Of course, part of that spread caused a brief incident when Byakuya noted the skewers Teruteru had used for his churrasco dish. That led to a search of the kitchen, where the only thing missing was one of the skewers. It also seemed like Fuyuhiko would not be attending, but Byakuya shrugged it off saying one missing student was no big deal. Finally, with Chiaki watching the door and Peko keeping an eye on the duralumin case containing all the dangerous items Byakuya had found, the party got started.
As he was enjoying his drink, Hajime saw Nagito approach him. "This turned out to be a good idea, huh?," Nagito said, "A perfect environment for breeding hope. And for getting our minds off that silly game." He then pointed behind Hajime. "Looks like someone wants to talk with you." Hajime turned around to see Hiyoko walking up to him, a bright smile on her face. Nagito obviously had a good idea what was going on, and walked off to avoid being a third-wheel. Hiyoko seemed to be blushing as she talked with Hajime, which gave him a good idea what she was thinking. Before she could get it out, however, a sudden beeping noise was heard. In the next second the light went out, plunging the entire lodge in darkness.
Hajime felt something grab him, and a quick check with his hands told him it was Hiyoko. There was some yelling, a few people speaking, and a sudden shaking like something heavy had hit the ground. When the light finally came on, there were three comical scenes before his eyes. The first, as he suspected, was Hiyoko, her arms wrapped around Hajime's waist. She had likely been spooked by the sudden darkness and had grabbed him for comfort. He suddenly felt himself go red as the others looked at him.
The second thing was Mikan, who had tripped over something and wound up in an embarrassing position, laid out on her back, her wrists wrapped up with sausage links, and her panties covered with a plate of food. Mahiru and Kazuichi helped her up as she sobbed. The final thing was something Hajime never thought he'd see. Byakuya had also tripped on a snag in the carpet. The shaking earlier was likely his massive body hitting the floor. "This is a little undignified," Byakuya said, "But accidents can happen to anyone, even me." He took off the night-vision goggles he had been wearing.
"By the way," he continued, "Does anyone know what happened to Nagito? I saw him go under one of the tables in the darkness but lost track of him when I tripped." Sure enough, there was no sign of Nagito in the room. Suddenly Akane's nose perked up. "Guys... I'm smelling what I think might be blood." Hajime looked worried. "Byakuya, which table was Nagito under?" Byakuya indicated a large table with nothing but a tablecloth and table lamp on it. Hajime carefully lifted the cloth and gasped. Under the table was Nagito, lying face-down in a pool of blood. Suddenly, an announcement came on the nearby monitor.
"Well, well," came Monokuma's voice, and he showed up to everyone's surprise, "Looks like the game has begun. Here's where things get interesting. One of you has killed Nagito Komaeda. Now you've got to find out whodunnit. This is where the trial I told you about comes in. You need to investigate the crime scene to find clues to the killer's identity. If you succeed in finding the killer, they'll be executed. But should you fail, the rest of you will be executed in the killer's place. Here's a special Monokuma File to get you started."
Byakuya closed his eyes. "So... Despite my best efforts, a murder happened after all." "What are you talking about?," Mahiru asked. "This party was about more than just promoting teamwork amongst us," Byakuya explained, "I was given a note by someone telling me they would kickstart the mutual killing. I thought this party would be the best way to get everyone in one place and keep an eye on them. The body searches and the incident in the kitchen was a way to remove any possible weapons from the party, and the night-vision goggles, plus the other defensive tools I kept in the second case, where obtained from the grocery store on this island in the event of the worst-case scenario. But despite all that, someone managed to kill Nagito under my nose. Now we have no choice... Let's proceed with the investigation."
Out of all the students, only Peko, Teruteru, Chiaki, and Fuyuhiko had not been in the old lodge. Fuyuhiko had been adamant about not attending the party, though Chiaki did say he had walked by the front entrance at one part. Peko had been keeping watch over the case containing all the dangerous items in the main office. Teruteru had been busy in the kitchen cleaning up after his cooking. The carpet Nagito had laid out on the floor covered up most of the gaps in the floorboard, but did not reach all the way to the edges. The lack of blood outside the table showed Nagito had been killed where he was found, and there was a bloody knife that seemed to have some sort of glowing paint on its handle. A piece of tape with more paint was found stuck to the underside of the table.
Inside the storeroom, Hajime found three irons plugged in, as well as a bloody tablecloth. He also made note of the fire doors just outside the kitchen. Byakuya then asked Ibuki if she could remember the voices of everyone who had spoken during the blackout. Ibuki, a glow on her face, was able to mention everyone who had spoken and what they said. "I thought she could pull it off," Byakuya said, "As the Ultimate Musician, her ears would naturally be sharper than normal." Mikan was also able to use her own talents to perform an autopsy on Nagito. "The file stated he had been killed due to multiple sharp-force trauma to his neck and abdomen," Mikan said, "None of the wounds were larger than five millimeters in diameter." Finally, Mahiru was able to create a map of where everyone was standing when the blackout hit based on pictures she had taken of the lodge.
The students were led to the trial room held inside a mountain on the center island. Once they arrived, they found their placed at the podiums. Byakuya looked at the funeral photo of Nagito, a red X across the face. "What's that all about?" "Oh that," Monokuma said, "I just think it's rather sad that Nagito must miss out on this exciting trial just because he's dead. Think of it as incentive to dispense justice on his killer." "But," Monomi said, having been tied up next to Monokuma's throne, "How can anyone have killed poor Nagito?" Monokuma chuckled. "That's for them to find out, dear sister. And they'd better, or they'll all be executed and the killer set free from the island."
Byakuya sighed. "Let's not waste any time then. We should start by discussing the state of the crime scene." "What's to discuss?," Kazuichi asked, "It's obvious why Nagito was found under the table. After the murderer killed him, he was dragged under the table." Hajime shook his head. "That's wrong. There was no blood other than under the table where his body was found. That indicated he died right there under the table." "So the killer somehow found his way under the table along with Nagito," Nekomaru said, "But how could they have seen where they were going? The only time anyone could have killed Nagito was during the blackout, and Byakuya possessed the only means to see in the dark."
Mahiru nodded. "And given how he was found lying on ground after tripping when the lights came back on, there's no way he could be the killer." Gundham turned to Byakuya. "What exactly did you see when you put the night-vision goggles on?" Byakuya adjusted his glasses. "The only thing I saw was Nagito, moving towards the table where he was found using a lamp cord. I got suspicious and tried to intercept him." Ibuki nodded. "That explains it. While the lights were out, Ibuki heard Byakuya say, 'Hey! What are you doing?' It was just before the big quake that was Byakuya tripping." "Too bad Mr. Ham Hands got tripped up," Hiyoko said, "He might have been able to save Nagito."
"You know," Sonia said, "We have been talking about the blackout this whole time, but I still wonder... How did it get started?" "That's easy," Hajime said, "When I was checking out the storeroom in the old lodge, I saw three irons plugged into the wall and turned on full blast. In addition, the air conditioners in both the dining hall and the office were set to turn on at around the time of Nagito's death." "Well that explains it," Fuyuhiko said, "One of you guys must have set that up when no one was looking." "What do you mean, 'One of you guys'?!," Mahiru said angrily, "You don't exactly have an alibi for this."
"Actually," Chiaki said, "I saw him just outside the front entrance of the lodge at around the time of the murder." "Besides," Fuyuhiko said, "Only someone who was inside the lodge could have done this." "What about Peko then?," Kazuichi suggested, "She was supposed to be in the office watching the case with all the dangerous objects, but when I talked to her during the investigation, she said she had stepped out for a period of time." "I can vouch for her actions," Nekomaru said, "During the party I felt nature calling, but the unisex bathroom in the lodge hall was occupied. With Chiaki and Fuyuhiko still outside, and everyone else in the dining hall, I can only assume it was Peko who was occupying it. Especially since she did not emerge until after we had already found Nagito's body."
"My apologies," Peko said, blushing, "I too, had a rather uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and was forced to vacate to the restroom." Fuyuhiko smirked. "I bet someone simply spiked the food with a laxative." "No way," Akane said, "I ate some of the food at the party too, but I never had any sort of gastrointestinal issues. It was probably just a coincidence that Peko had to use the restroom." "But who else could have set up the blackout?," Teruteru asked. "The only person I can think of," Hajime said, "Is the victim himself. Byakuya, you just said you saw Nagito moving towards the table using the lamp chord as a landmark, right?"
Byakuya nodded. "He acted as if he was already aware that the blackout was going to occur." He closed his eyes. "Now that I think of it, it seems likely he was the one who sent me that note. It was him who prepared the drawing to decide who would clean the lodge, and where Peko should stand guard over the case of weapons. He must have planned out the entire thing. Very elaborate of him." Mahiru sighed. "You've gotta be kidding me. He planned out all that? Damn. He probably even rigged the drawing to decide who would get cleaning duty." Hajime shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. If he really did want cleaning duty, he may have relied on his own luck. He was supposed to be the Ultimate Lucky Student."
Fuyuhiko nodded. "Okay, so Nagito was the one set up the blackout and planned an elaborate murder. But that still doesn't answer who killed him. I mean to start with, I don't remember anyone being covered in blood after the fact." Byakuya looked at Hajime. "You said you found a bloody tablecloth in the storehouse, yes? Perhaps the killer used that to avoid the blood splatter. But that still leaves a small riddle. The lights came back on mere moments after the murder. Whoever was wearing that tablecloth would have been caught if they tried to return it."
"Maybe not," Chiaki said, "There's a crawlspace under the lodge, and the walls don't extend past the floor. The killer likely used that." "As for how the killer could have entered the crawlspace," Gundham said, "I believe I can provide an answer. When I lost the Hell Hound Earring during the party, I eventually found it beneath the floorboards. It took some doing, but I eventually discovered a trap door within the storeroom. After procuring a lighter from the supermarket, I entered the darkness. Finding the Hell Hound Earring proved simple after that. With Nagito's blood as a landmark, I was able to discover where I had seen the Hell Hound Earring fall."
"Was there anything of the killer left in the crawlspace?," Byakuya asked. Gundham shook his head. "I'm afraid the killer was wise enough not to leave a trace of their identity. However, I did see a faint glow around the region where I saw Nagito's blood drip into the crawlspace. I can only assume the killer was using this as landmark to find his way." Hajime rubbed his chin. "Come to think of it, there was a knife next to Nagito's body that was covered in glowing paint. Nagito must have been going for this knife when Byakuya saw him."
Byakuya snapped his fingers in frustration. "It never even occurred to me to search under the tables." Ibuki shrugged. "We all have off days. But Ibuki still wonders, if the killer used the paint to see where Nagito was going to be, how did they even find their way into the crawlspace to begin with?" "Maybe they used a light of some kind," Akane said, "That makes the most sense, right?" Byakuya rubbed his chin in thought. "Now that I think about it, when me and Hajime were checking the kitchen after I removed the churrasco, we noted there was a fully functional portable stove... Wait a minute."
He turned his gaze to Teruteru, and everyone followed suit. Teruteru became a little uncomfortable. "What... What are you looking at me for?" "You're the only one who would have had access to the portable oven," Hajime said, "So you're the only one who could have used it." Teruteru gulped. "But... But I was in the dining hall with the rest of you when the lights went out. Didn't you hear me?" "Ibuki heard," Ibuki said, "He was the last person Ibuki heard before the lights came back on, in fact." "That matters little," Gundham said, "With the gaps in the floorboards, a person could yell from the crawlspace and still seem to be in the dining hall. With the hall wrapped in pure darkness, there would be no way to tell the difference."
"Hold on a minute," Kazuichi said, "I managed to make it out of the dining hall during the blackout, and I didn't see any light there." "The fire doors," Byakuya said, "They could be found just in front of the door to the kitchen. Once closed, they could form a perfect makeshift wall with which to block off the light from the oven. Since you were heading for the main office to try and repair the breakers during the blackout, you wouldn't have noticed." "Guess we're stuck then," Mahiru said, "How do we prove whether or not Teruteru was in the dining hall when the lights came back on? Our memories could be faulty."
Hajime snapped his fingers in realization. "We don't need to check our memories, we need to check Teruteru's. Specifically, Teruteru, do you remember what state we found Mikan in when the lights came back on?" Mikan suddenly became flustered. "Must you bring that up now?!" Teruteru seemed to be confused for a second, and started to rack his brain for an answer. "Huh... I guess... I forgot..." "I don't buy that," Mahiru said, "That manner of falling isn't something a person could normally pull off. And with you being such a pervert, it would definitely stick out in your mind."
Teruteru rubbed the back of his head trying to come up with a decent comeback. "Well.. Nonetheless, I... Hold on! We don't even know what the murder weapon is yet! You can't accuse me when we don't even know the full details of Nagito's death!" Fuyuhiko scratched his temple. "Wasn't he killed with that knife you found?" Mikan shook her head. "From the results of my autopsy, I determined the murder weapon was at least five millimeters in diameter." "In addition," Gundham said, "The tool in question would have to be around fifty centimeters long to be usable in the crawlspace and still be long enough to deal lethal damage to Nagito."
Hajime thought for a second, then his eyes snapped open. "I've got it. The weapon was probably a kitchen skewer." "That does match the parameters," Byakuya said, "And there was a skewer missing from the old lodge. But I didn't see anyplace one could logically hide a long skewer like that." "So," Nanami said, "Why not go with an illogical place?" "An illogical place?," Hajime said. He thought for a second. "Okay, here's a crazy thought. What if it was hidden inside the party food?" "The food?," Hiyoko said, "There was nothing at the party that could have hidden a skewer. I mean, that churrasco dish had skewers, but they weren't hidden. In fact, Mr. Ham Hands had already confiscated them."
"Nothing that was already served could hide the skewer," Byakuya said, "But there were still a few dishes Teruteru hadn't brought out yet. In particular, there was a very large meat on a bone in the kitchen. From the size of it, it could easily hide the skewer. All we need to do is have it searched." "I can take care of that easy," Akane said, "Just let me at it!" "Okay then," Monokuma said, "Here you go." Out of nowhere, he presented the meat on a bone. Before Teruteru could protest, Akane already had half the meat down her throat. "Bingo," she said. She had quickly stopped, but only because she found what they were looking for.
Sure enough, there was the skewer hidden right there in the meat, one end stuck inside the edge of the bone like a sword grip. "I'll admit it," Byakuya said, "There were holes even in my perception. But then again, that's why I had the defense tools." "Looks like you've made your decision then," Monokuma said, "Go ahead and vote on who you think the culprit is. Oh, and everyone must vote... No exceptions." Once the votes were tallied up, there a bunch of confetti spraying everywhere as well as fanfare. "Well done!," Monokuma said, "You got it right! Nagito Komaeda was killed by Teruteru Hanamura!"
"Then you knew all along," Byakuya said, "What Nagito was planning. Why didn't you tell me about? Did you think I wouldn't believe you?" Monokuma chuckled. "If you want to know the truth, my little revelation got him thinking about his poor mother. I wonder what could have happened to her. But now's not the time for speculation. It's time for the best part of this trial... The execution!" "Wait!," Monomi protested, "You can't just kill him like this!" "Sorry," Monokuma said as a big red button appeared in front of him, "But that's how the rules go! And I have a special execution for the Ultimate Cook all ready!" And with that, he struck the button.
Teruteru was quickly grabbed by a chained collar and dragged out of the trial room. He quickly found himself tied to a wooden post. On the horizon, he could see what looked like an attack chopper. The chopper, piloted by Monokuma fired several small missiles that exploded before they could hit him and covered him in eggs. Then a much larger missile was fired, which covered Teruteru in bread crumbs. He was then hauled off by the chopper to a dormant volcano, where he was quickly dropped into the lava. His body was quickly fried to a crisp, turning him into a human tonkatsu that floated on the surface.
"I know he was a terrible person who killed someone," Hiyoko said as she sat inside Hajime cottage, "But he didn't deserve to die like that." Hajime sighed. "I'm more upset by what Nagito was attempting. I thought he was my friend. I feel so betrayed by all this." He leaned back on his bed. "I dunno. I almost feel like Teruteru did us a favor." To his surprise, Hiyoko climbed onto the bed next to him. "Hajime, do you remember how before the party I said no one would notice if you disappeared?" Hajime nodded, and was surprised again by Hiyoko's kiss. "I lied. I'd notice... And I'd be sad."
Hajime smiled, and the two of kissed again. Hiyoko than adjusted her shoulders in such a way that her kimono fell from her upper body, making both her and Hajime blush. "You're... Going a little faster than I would have expected," Hajime said. Hiyoko smirked as she felt Hajime's crotch. "Maybe, but you still seem to be enjoying it." Suddenly emboldened, Hajime grabbed Hiyoko's sash and pulled. Sure enough, she wound up spinning, mostly of her own accord, and her kimono fell from her body. Considering how young she looked, her curves did show she was indeed a teenager.
"This is kinda embarrassing," Hiyoko said, "But then again, in this situation I'd like to either die with no regrets, or live on with some happy memories. Whichever fate chooses for me." Hajime placed a hand on her cheek. "Don't talk about dying so casually. I'd rather you not die at all. I just wish... None of us had to die." Hiyoko smiled, then playfully unzipped Hajime's jeans to reveal his sizable manhood. "Let's forget all about that silly game tonight, and just enjoy each other." Gently, she lowered herself onto Hajime's cock, wincing as her virginity was given away.
As Hajime watched Hiyoko's cute face as she started moving, he asked, "Are you okay? It's not too big is it?" Hiyoko shook her head. "I realize normally a girl as short as me couldn't do this with a cock so big... But I'm so sensitive it's easy for me to get wet." As she continued to move she wrapped her arms around Hajime, who began to move himself. Hiyoko kept panting as she came closer, finally screaming in ecstasy as she felt Hajime explode inside her. The two of them fainted on his bed. "That was... Incredible...," Hiyoko said, "Maybe we could do it again sometime..." Hajime smiled as he watched Hiyoko fall asleep before drifting off himself.
To be continued...
Yeah, this time the finale is going to be a bit more of a surprise. Read and review.
