AN: Well I realized that you guys can't review the last chapter because I deleted the hiatus notice so the new chapter I uploaded was technically Chapter 23. So if you could, please leave a review this chapter :P

Much obliged, and I hope you guys enjoy this one. Hope you guys don't mind that it's rather short, since I admit that it's basically an infodump xD I am glad with how I am pacing the story though to be honest. I'm really getting the story started, and hopefully by the end I'm able to blow a few minds. Thanks everyone again for the support! I'll be sure to report how I did on the midterms just for fun, c:


Location: The AV Room | Time: 7:59 AM | Chapter Three | 27 DAYS LEFT

Soundtrack: Re DISTRUST

"Alright," Kirei said, determined. She stared in front of the computer monitor, waving her hand over the power button. We all gathered around, staring intently at the screen, waiting for something to appear. "I'm going to turn it on now guys...okay?"

We all grunted in approval. Kirei nodded, and pressed the power button. Slowly, the computer made a whirring noise, and the screen began to static a bit. The computer was definitely old, but fortunately, it seemed functional. After waiting a few moments, the computer finally turned on, displaying a working desktop!

"Yes!" I yelped.

"Can you find out anything?" Takayashi asked eagerly.

"H-hold on, let me see," Kirei said. "Oh, this is the internet browser, isn't it?" Kirei raised a finger and pointed on the icon. A globe with an "I" wrapped around it. Seemed like an internet browser to me.

"Click on it," Furo said. "C'mon, let's see it..."

"A-alright, alright," Kirei said, pressured. She dragged the cursor across the screen, clicking the internet browser and turning it on. We all stared, breathless. Would this really work? Maybe we could connect to the internet?

A few more moments of waiting, and eventually, we managed to connect to a website. While we all gasped in surprise and joy, we noticed later that the browser connected us to a website called: " ." It was ran by Monokuma alright. Maybe we shouldn't look at the internet much longer...

"He's toying with us?" Hikaru asked. "Perhaps we should take a look."

"See if you can connect to another website," I said.

"A-alright," Kirei said. She clicked the webbar and attempted to connect to several different and famous websites. None of them were able to connect however. Or more accurately, the computer itself was able to connect to the internet. It seems like Monokuma placed web filtering though. Every website we tried to connect to was blocked by some sort of firewall.

"God damn it," Noah said under his breath. "He is toying with us, isn't it?"

Soundtrack: Monokuma Sensei's Lesson

"Hmm?" Monokuma asked, tilting his head in front of us. He stood on top of the computer, staring down at all of us. "I'm not toying with you. I don't see how a toy can toy with people."

"I thought you didn't like it when people called you a toy or something like that," Takayashi observed. "You don't get a free pass, you cretin!"

Monokuma tilted his head once more, and sighed, shrugging his shoulders. He left as soon as he came, leaving us alone once again.

Soundtrack: Re DISTRUST

"Well, that was a waste of time," Kaito said. "Anyways, maybe we should take another look at that website Monokuma set up."

"Why?" I asked, in a loud voice. "I don't want to read anything Monokuma set up for us."

"But we'll have to," Unmei said, agreeing with Kaito. "If he set up this website, it was to give us a hint. The only way we'll get hints is if we take chances like this. Besides, Monokuma is just toying with us again, so I'm sure there's some hint in it."

Soundtrack: Monokuma Sensei's Lesson

"I told you I'm not toying with you!" Monokuma growled. "I am a youthful bear who is honest to his words! Don't make me smack you with a fish!"

"Are you telling us that website is legitimate?" Noah asked.

"Of course," Monokuma said raising his paw. "I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of Monokuma. Cross my stuffed heart and hope to die!"

"I still don't trust him," I sighed.

"Awa..." Monokuma whined. "How cruel...this hillbilly hick over here thinks I'm lying...well let me tell you something sista'! I ain't lyin' to you er nothin', got it? Now you'se best be readin' that website now! Or else you might not get anew oppurtunit'y like this, 'ya hear?"

"Why do you want us to read the website?" I asked. "It's making you seem more suspicious."

"W-well, that's just like, your philosophy on life!" Monokuma snapped. "N-now, if you can't trust the words of an honest bear like myself, I have nothing more to say to you!"

"Begone, foul creature!" Takayashi screamed.

"Wahh!"

Monokuma ran out of the room in an obvious fake fear, and we all sighed at the dilemma that evil thing presented to us.

Soundtrack: Re DISTRUST

"So what exactly can we do now?" I asked. "Do we check that website if it's legit or not?"

Noah bit at the tip of his finger, analyzing the website carefully. "Kirei, perhaps we should see if there are any other programs on the desktop that we could check."

"O-okay," Kirei said. "I'll just minimize the page then..."

Hastily, Kirei clicked the minimize button on the top right of the screen, and we all scanned for other files we might be able to use. Kirei clicked on a folder filled with documents, and as it popped out in front of us, there was only one visible thing. A file, reading "The Rehibilitation Project."

"Oh, that looks helpful!" Takayashi said happily.

"What's...rehibiliatation?" Mirai asked. "Is it illegal?"

"Not really," Unmei said, as Kirei clicked on the file.

It took a while for it to load up, and we were a bit speechless at what came up after it finished.


THE SUPER HIGHSCHOOL LEVEL REHIBILITATION PROJECT

Contenders:

Junko Enoshina, Mukuro Ikusaba, Yukio Enoshima, Nagito Komaeda


Participants:

"Keiko Umino," "Mirai Minoshiro," "Yoshinori Ai," Noah Sloan, Ryoko Ieyoshi, Shougo Arisu, Hideki Komiya, Yayoi Adachi, Aikami Kaito, Kirei Nagai, Unmei Shirosaki, Rhyssa Kaeda, Micky Storm, Furo Shirohashi, Hikaru Nise, Takayashi Haruna.


Junko Enoshima & Mukuro Ikusaba

Widely known among Super Highschool Level Despair as the "despair sisters," they have been involved in wide and numerous projects across the "Despair Rehibilitation project." These two girls managed to start a storm of despair across the world, and despite their deceased status, there influence has let us simulate a similar personality of "fake humans." For more information, please look up "Junko_ " and "Mukuro_ " at .


"Are you serious?" I sighed.

"This was most likely written by Monokuma," Noah said. "It's referencing his website directly."

"Hold on, there's more," Mirai noticed.


Yukio Enoshima

In order to balance the program and make sure not one program may glitch out and run out of control, Yukio Enoshima's personality program has been uploaded into the Rehibilitation Program in order to act as something similar to an anti-virus. It's essence is completely necessary in order to run this program correctly.

Nagito Komaeda

An essential part to the project. Previously a participant of the Future Foundation's "Hope Rehibilitation Project," Nagito Komaeda has now decided to work for Super Highschool Level Despair. His vast knowledge of the Future Foundation and his ability to moderate the participants well has resulted in him being a large part of the project's survival.


"The... Future Foundation?" I asked.

"Isn't that where that Makoto Naegi came from?" Unmei asked. "And what the hell is Super Highschool Level Despair..? It sounds exactly like our talents."

"'Xcept I don't see how despair is a good talent at all," Ryoko sighed.

"If anything, can this really be a hint?" I asked.

"Monokuma told us to find the secrets of this school," Mirai said. "I'm sure it'll help in someway, master."

I nodded, and took in a deep breath. I guess Monokuma was toying with us. Even if he was, this was one step closer into getting out of this dome.

"Anyways, we still have two more leads we can use, don't we?" Noah asked.

"Oh?" Takayashi asked in surprise. "Don't we have to tinker with more of these computers..?"

"How daft are ya?" Furo sighed. "No, we have that website that Monokuma gave us access to."

"We also have that textbook," Kaito said. "Though I don't particularly know where it is."

The textbook...if anything, that might be our most important goal right now. Rhyssa said it herself. It had information on all of the students at this school, and it went much farther than just us. It had a full information page about Rhyssa's supposed boyfriend, "the Phantom." We needed to track it down, but where could it be..?

"No, no, no, no, no!" Meowykins snapped at us, running through the doorway. "You cannot! Impossible! Meow! Do not cross yellow line, or else you will be run over by a subway!"

"What the hell are you talking about now?" Ryoko asked, angry.

"There is no way that you can find the textbook!" Meowykins growled. "You'd have to pry it from my cold, fluffy, cat paws! Even though I am a dog! Meow!"

We all looked sincerely confused. Did Meowykins decide it was a good time to smoke a joint, or is it just me?

"L-listen," I said. "Meowykin..."

"What the hell?!" Meowykins screamed. "I'm heartbroken, Keiko! We've been together for so long, and you can't get my name right! It is Meowykins!"

"Got it," I said, irritated. "Meowykins. We don't know what you are talking about, okay?"

"Huh?" Meowykins asked. "Y'all don't know where the textbook is right now? Meow?"

We shook our heads in unison. Meowyins walked backwards slowly, an awkward grace around it, preparing to run out.

"Wait a minute," Mirai said. "You know where it is, don't you?!"

"If that wasn't completely obvious," Meowykins sighed, stopping in place.

Soundtrack: Monokuma Sensei's Lesson

"You stupid, stupid dog!" Monokuma snapped. "Why the hell did you tell them that?"

"F-forgive me, Monokuma-sama!" Meowykins whimpered. "I'm just a poor lost puppy! Meow!"

"And to think that I was saving this for a more fitting time!" Monokuma sighed. "Sigh... I suppose I have to reveal it to you all now."

"Reveal what?" we asked, nervous.

"It's your big bad motive of the week!" Monokuma laughed. "I'm a useful bear you know, so while you guys were sleeping, I prepared a big bad motive for you all!"

"What exactly did you prepare..?"

"Upupupu..." Monokuma chuckled. "Now that's a secret...if you really want to know, head to the drama room right now, and I'll unveil to you my magical surprise."

Monokuma laughed for a few moments, but abruptly stopped and turned to Meowykins.

"As for you!" Monokuma snapped. "You are in big trouble, mister!"

"M-meow!" Meowykins whimpered. "F-forgive me, Monokuma-sama!"

"No forgiveness from me!" Monokuma yelled. "You are coming with me mister!" Monokuma continued to yell and scold Meowykins, as he yanked him by the ear and the two disappeared in front of us.

"...T-the next motive..?" Kirei asked.

"But it hasn't even been that long since the last murder," I sighed. "Isn't it a little too soon for another one?"

"Don't worry," Mirai said, comforting me. "I'm sure none of us are having thoughts of murder. We should be okay...I think."

"You really think so?" Takayashi asked.

"...Maayyybe," Mirai said unconfidently.

"Oh, no way," Unmei sighed.

A bundle of confusion had just showed up in front of us, and to top it all off, Monokuma had prepared something else for us.

What is this..? Why can't we ever finish off what we're doing before that stupid bear decides to mess with us?!

"What the hell..?" Ryoko muttered.

Uh...

Soundtrack: Space Channel 5 OST – Spaceport introducing Ulala!

"Hey there, funky water cats!" Monokuma said. "Tonight I'm reporting from the groovy drama room at the second dome at Hope's Peak Academy!"

The room was filled with flashing lights all around. There were twelve podiums laid out across the room, and Monokuma was dancing in the middle of the room, wearing a red tuxedo and a black fedora.

"Look at me!" Monokuma said, dancing. "Up, down, up, down, chu, chu, chu!"

We all stared with gaping mouths as Monokuma danced, paying us no mind.

"Upupupu," Monokuma laughed.

"What exactly is this..?" Noah asked, unamused.

"You really want to know?" Monokuma asked. "Well, let me slip it to you real jive, dude! You're the twelve lucky contestants to participate in the fantastic Monokuma gameshow!"

"The Monokuma gameshow..?" I asked in disbelief. "Are you serious..?"

"Unforunately because of that no good dog, I had to reveal this to you quite early. But we're starting this party in a couple days, you hear? It ain't ready yet."

"So we still have time?" Mirai asked.

"Yessir!" Monokuma said. "Anyways, you guys aren't going anywhere soon though!"

Noah began to grow visibly impatient, tapping his foot and grinding his teeth.

"And why is that?"

"Like all good gameshows," Monokuma started. "There's a prize at the end, isn't there?"

Monokuma took out a cart, and hidden beneath a curtain, was something I didn't expect to see. Even though I probably should have...

"Let's see what's behind curtain number one!" Monokuma chuckled.

He pulled the curtains open, and inside was the textbook we were all so excited about.

"Your fabulous prize is this big hunt of text! I await your return in a few days to the Monokuma-Kuma-Kuma gameshow! Is the price right? Want to press your luck? Got the right lingo down? Well then get hyped, dood!"

Continued in Chapter 3: Section 4


AN: Anyways, please leave your thoughts about this chapter, and maybe the last one if you can. Sorry this one was a bit short. And if you're confused about Monokuma's little dance there, I just had to pay tribute to one of my favorite games, xD

If you ever played it or heard of it before, pleaaaase say so! I will then love you even more.
