Purple eyes widen at the sight before her. A green field with long grass and a beautiful sky before her. There's no destruction at all. The sky should be red, the air with thin black fog and debris scattered. Instead, she sees a beautiful scene. What is she looking at?
And she looked upon the others she's with. They all look... younger! Before the Tragedy even started actually which was... about 4-5 years ago. Her eyes became the size of dishes. "I... it couldn't be..." She stepped back a few steps. Pale mouth agape, unknown of what she's about to say, not even to herself. It's a bit too much for her to process at what she's looking at.
A girl in wearing a regular school girl's outfit with blue eyes and hair. Slowly but surely waking from her "slumber". Her deep ocean blue are becoming clear and full of life. Not only her, but others that are supposed to... be dead. Red eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes. They're also waking from their "slumber," moaning and stretching as if they took a long, long nap. Kyoko shook her head and rubbed her eyes, but it seems that they're still there.
A familiar Ultimate Swimmer came upon the group along with the real Ultimate Heir and the Ultimate Fortune Teller along side her. Their eyes also widen at the sight before them. Finally, one awoken looked to the girl with the high ponytail. The eyes of that person widen as well, and look towards her hand, then back to the girl. "A... Aoi?"
"Sakura..." the Ultimate Swimmer stuttered her words. "You're..." Tears appeared onto her cerulean eyed girl. She couldn't help but run to her once dead friend. "You're alive! Sakura, you're alive!" She cried in the bigger girl's embrace. Soon, tears appeared on the white haired female as well.
Finally, Byakyuya shout out to the crowd, also in dismay and confusion, "What the hell is going on?! You all are supposed to be dead!"
One with red eyes and black hair looks at her hands and then her face. She hummed, "I think we know..." Because of her Ultimate Gambler ability, she was able to conceal her shock and tell them, "I remember when we entered Hope's Peak to my very own death."
"Yeah..." the Ultimate Baseball Player moaned, rubbing his head to get rid of his headache. "I remember killing Maizono and then to me being killed by a bunch of baseballs... which I still regret."
"It's my fault too..." The once dead Ultimate Idol apologized for the murder plot.
"But how are we still alive though?" the Ultimate Detective asks to the others before they get off topic.
"Yes..." The Ultimate Fanfic Creator mumbles in wonder, "It's as if we're in a fantasy world."
"Or we're all dead!?" the Ultimate Fortune Teller shouts in panic.
Then the Ultimate Hall Monitor shouts out, "I demand we have a full meeting discussing this!"
"I don't think that's the necessary approach, Bro..." the Ultimate Biker replies to the demand.
Soon, the Detective eyes became wide again, along side the Heir. Even the Fortune Teller and Swimmer. The other 78th class are confused at their sudden shock. They looked across the horizon to see other people awaken as well. Some of them are their families, and other random people as well. Even one of their classmates, the Writer, and she's with another girl.
The girl with the Ultimate Writer moans out, "Toko... you alright?"
"Y-yeah... You alright Komaru?" the writer with the pigtails asked the girl. She nodded. Toko's eyes widen at the sight of some of the people that's near her and her classmates. "What are you all doing here?! And where are we? Master!" She took off running to Togami, about to hug him, but then he put his hand out and stopped the crazed, obsessed girl.
Komaru sighed and sees the others as well. She ran up to the 78th class and asked, "Hey! You are all in Makoto's class. Do you know where he's at? And... where are we?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out, Komaru." Kyoko explained to Makoto's little sister. "But... why are the Remnants of Despair down there?"
Komaru looked back to see... Komaeda is over there! Even with other people who looks about his age as well. Some with crazy, over the top hair, some normal, and others pretty and cool. Makoto's little sis walks up to the group of people, but Kyoko and Fukawa tried to stop her, but ignored the two. She walks up to Soda to help him up and see if he's alright.
"Hey, you ok?" She asks the Mechanic.
Looking up, he sees and unfamiliar person, trying to help him up. He was wary, but then gratefully grabs her hand, saying, "Thank you. Um... who are you?"
"No... a better question." Togami interrupted the two, having the Remnants of Despair look to him. "Why are you here?! Is this one of your plans?"
A new voice asked. "That's what I would like to know." Everyone turn to see a man with white hair and eyes. Along side him is a man, bigger than him with black hair and brown eyes and a woman with orange hair and green eyes. "What are you Despair up to?"
"Munakata! Stop it!" the orange haired woman tried to help the Remnants. "I know they did wrong, but-"
"Yukizomi-sensei! What's going on?!" Asks a very panicked redhead with a camera around her neck.
This Yukizomi person looked to them, with a confused look too. She scratches her head and says, "I... I... have no clue."
"Y-yeah!" yells the short Ultimate Chef. "We have no idea how we got here or why!"
"It's odd..." Sonia mutters to herself, but everyone hears. "All I remember is being in a court room, but then... I saw nothing. And then I found that we all woke up here."
"Me too!" Soda shouts, trying to get her attention... which he did very poorly.
"Well does everyone know!" Shouts Hiyoko, really pissed off with the situation.
The man with Munakata growls, grabbing Komaeda's shirt collar, growling, "You all better be telling the truth!"
Tension became very, very high around the group. Some are ready to raise their voice, or begin to fight for the matter. Others are scared out of their wits because if nothing is done right, then they may also get hurt. And people from the 78th class are willing to protect or stop them if there'll be an all out brawl so their friends don't get hurt, or even worse.
Everyone is preparing their weapons or fist. A brawl's going to happen. Suddenly, a huge wave of black mist came from out of the blue. It covered the sky for a about 30 seconds until it disappeared back into it's original sky blue. Everyone's eyes widen at the sudden and mysterious event that just happened. Silence covered them, as their chest became heavy and breathing tight. Some are even shaking from it.
"So that's it." A new voice, shocking everyone, but more for the selected few. The selected few that was mentioned backed away slowly, but one of them moved towards the person with the new voice. "And it's been awhile, Kyoko."
It took a while for her to process her thoughts, but then stutters... "D... Dad?"
"Yeah... alive too. I know what everyone's thinking and... I may answer some of them." He explains to everyone. Everyone calmed down, only a little bit, waiting for his side. But they have a feeling that it might not be what they want to hear at all. "7 years ago, a lone girl came from another dimension totally different from hers very own. She could do incredible things, but they're only weak, trivial things, since our world has little to no energy called lacrima."
"What the hell is this?" Spat out Toko. "You're supposed to be-"
"I know, but this story is involved at the situation in hand." The principal continued on. "That didn't stop her at all. She played tricks on everyone to elderly, to children and adults. Soon, people began to call her names like a witch and threaten to kill her. They even persecuted her friends that didn't cared if she has these powers. She did the only thing that she could do. Hide people's memories of her and her existence, but then we met. It was because she didn't blank out my memories and she was accepted as the Ultimate Wizard."
Togami narrowed his eyes suspiciously at the supposed principal. "What is this, some fairytale that you're trying to make up?"
He ignored the heir and proceed. "But, the girl didn't want to be the Ultimate Wizard, to keep people safe. We made an agreement too. She was accepted into class 77-B."
Everyone's eyes became very wide. "W-what?" asked the Ultimate Athlete. "But we-"
"Now I know..." Yukizomi mutters for everyone there. "A mystery beyond mystery itself. If you're around her, strange things happen for no apparent reason at all. No one knows what she even looks like at all. People who claimed to see her says she has the most unpredictable personality. Not a trace of her is in a file, making others believe that she's just... an urban legend. A myth people made up."
It hit the light purple haired girl like a brick. She knew who her dad's talking about. "She is known as the Ultimate Mystery."
Suddenly, the Ultimate Lucky Student hummed to herself, telling others, "That's true. It's said that there's supposed to be 16 students in our class."
"It's Kitamura!" Shouted the Ultimate Musician. "Ibuki doesn't know what she looks like, but what she sounds like! She always sings 'Lost in thoughts. All alone' jam."
Kyoko soon realized something. Her dad said hide... not erase... "What do you mean by 'hide their memories?' Why not erased? Can people access them if they tried hard enough?"
He nodded to confirm. "Yes. Since she didn't cover mine, she wanted me to help her to get back to where she's at. Soon, the Tragedy struck because her classmates felt despair."
"W-what d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do you mean?" Asks a very nervous nurse.
"I mean, because, according to her, witness someone you all loved, death, it sent you all into a deep depression and yearned for despair to cover the whole world. You all achieved it, and she blamed herself. You see, I was the only person she ever opened up to, so I thought of a plan to keep survivors in the school while she tried her best to return the so called 'Remnants of Despair' to normal, then maybe peace and hope could return. But because of our world's lack of lacrima, she couldn't do anything. Not even the simplest spell she could conjure up. But then, I was at the verge of death itself, until we appeared... all of us appeared here."
"But... but what about Makoto?! Where's he?!" Asked a panicking Sayaka.
"And do you truly think that we could believe that outrageous story, Jin?!" Munakata growls at him.
"What about that black wave out of nowhere? And that also might be the clue to finding Makoto too..."
What?
