(Let Us Sing of a Hollow Victory Music Plays...)
Izuru looks at the average looking student to his appeal and observed him for a few moments. Naegi's overwhelming anxiety was beginning to almost give him a panic attack and he was unsure what to do about the person that stood before him.
"What's wrong? Why are you scared?" asked Izuru
"W-what the fuck is your talent?" questions Naegi sensing something really unorthodox about him. Izuru Kamukura looks at Naegi blankly, and closes his eyes a bit irritated from his reaction but his composure was calm...even calmer than the Ultimate Detective.
"...I'm the Ultimate of Hope" replies Izuru opening his eyes slowly.
"...You said your name was Izuru Kamukura right? Isn't that the founder of Hope's Peak Academy?" asks Naegi trying to calm down as he spoke but then realized something horrific.
"That's right, however I'm not the founder..." replies Izuru leaving a long pause for a moment.
'Oh no wait a second...I heard about this from those staff members a couple weeks ago!' thought Naegi coming to the realization.
"My talents are endless...Ultimate Hope is just one of them but I have many more...I'll just say that I'm a success for the future for this school...and possibly for the whole world" replies Izuru.
'I can't believe this guy...what does he mean he's not the founder? Is he just someone who was inspired by the founder himself or something entirely the opposite vise versa...although something about this guy seems very strange like he has no emotion at all...I can't put my thoughts together about it' thought Naegi weirded out by him.
"Enough about myself I'd like to know more about you" replies Izuru.
"Well...I'm just the Ultimate Lucky Student" replies Naegi.
"Oh...suppose I overestimated you, I should be going" replies Izuru walking past him.
'That's right! Those staff members mentioned that they named him after the founder when they experimented on the person!' thought Naegi in fear.
Naegi just looks a bit frozen as he just stays where he is without turning around to look at him. He was thinking about going to ask him more questions but Naegi believed that it wasn't the right decision to approach him. Within moments he disappears from sight and Naegi's light migraine goes away.
(Let Us Sing of a Hollow Victory Ends...)
"I don't know what's going on...but something about that guy gives me a very bad foreboding feeling right now...I got to go and report this to Kyoko because Junko must of done something already..." replies Naegi taking out his phone to send a text.
4:07pm
To: Kyoko
Hey...something happened after my appointment with Matsuda, you're not going to believe this but that strange person by the name of Izuru Kamukura I told you about was here on the school grounds! He might be threat to us, I just got a bad feeling about it. I can't say for certain but I just believe we should talk more in person about this.
From: Igean
Naegi puts his phone away and begins walking forward away from the fountain and heading towards the school gates. Suddenly about 25 feet from the gates he sees a girl with a navy hoodie with cat ears over her head and was looking down at her console in gloom. She was walking as she twiddled her thumbs all over the place. Naegi makes his way around her but she steps towards his way and then tries the other side but she does the same thing too.
"Huh...sorry" replies the girl looking up at Naegi in sadness.
"...W-wait!" replies Naegi
She stops in her tracks and turns around to look at him puzzled.
'What am I doing? This isn't my problem but she looked so sad that I can't leave this person alone...' thought Naegi.
"Mind if I ask what's on your mind?" asks Naegi kindly.
"Why would you care?" asks the girl with the hoodie cat ears.
"Well you just looked so sad that I felt that I couldn't just let you walk away like that...I know you don't know me at all but I think its good to talk to someone about things that can help you get it off your chest...that's what I've been doing since I been here" replies Naegi then looking down at the ground near the end of his sentence.
(Until the Two People Fall in Love Music Plays...)
"...A boy" she replies. Naegi looks up slowly and listens to her with a blank expression.
"A boy who promised me that we'd see each other again but never returned...I...I just don't know what happened to him" she replies lightly tearing up.
"...I waited for the last 9 months for him by the Reserve Course gates but...every time all the students came out he was not there with any of them" she tries to hold back her tears but they began to fall onto her face.
"Did he possibly transfer schools?" asked Naegi quietly and slowly.
"No!" she shakes her head a bit frustrated and then began to walk a little closer to Naegi and stared at him seriously.
"My teacher said that he was expelled but I think something else happened to him and I don't know what" replies the girl in the hoodie.
"Can you tell me what his name is?" asked Naegi very seriously.
"...Hajime Hinata why?" she asks confused.
"Don't worry, I think I can find that answer for you" smiled Naegi.
"Huh!? You can really!?" cries the girl with joy.
"Yeah I know someone I can talk to about it but you got to keep this conversation between you and me" replies Naegi making deal with her.
She nods vigorously having her hands together in a cute way.
"Okay you got yourself a promise"
*Vroom Vroom*
Naegi hears the vibration from his phone but it ignores it for the time being and smiles again once more.
"Well we might as well exchange contact info so that I can let you know what I find out" replies Naegi taking out his phone.
"Sure, my name's Chiaki Nanami" replies Chiaki
Naegi and Chiaki exchange their personal contact info then Chiaki looks at him and smiles.
"I notice were both wearing hoodies today, must be a coincidence" replies Chiaki lightly chuckling.
"Yeah and probably because of how cold it is out here too" replies Naegi smiling.
"Well I better go see some of my classmates, see you!" replies Chiaki waving her hand to him and then walking past him fiddling with gaming handheld console again.
Naegi watches her walk away and lightly frowns because he didn't give her his real name so that way he can not be found out by Junko. He then takes a look at his message as he walks back to the east district.
To: Igean
I see, this does seem a concerning matter...I can meet you later tonight around 9pm?
From: Kyoko
4:15pm
Naegi texts her back immediately after reading it.
To: Kyoko
Yeah I'll meet you by the courtyard where the big fountain is...also there's something else I'll need to talk to you about but I'll explain it all when we meet up.
From: Igean
(Until the two people fall in love Ends...)
Time passes and it reaches to about 6pm when Junko and Mukuro were walking away from the dormitories in the south district while Naegi was wandering down the outside dorms ahead of them.
"His anime was amazing right!? I totally think Ryota Mitarai will be essential to our plan! We should start preparing to move him elsewhere tomorrow" cries Junko in triumph.
"His anime was so beautiful I'm going to cry!" cries Mukuro in awe.
"Alright sooo now that our plan for the tragedy for Hope's Peak is set in motion we should be able to start soon" replies Junko happily.
Naegi looks back as he heard Junko's and Mukuro's voice very loud and clear.
'HUH?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? IT'S HAPPENING SOON!?' thought Naegi shocked.
The twins then look over to his way since that was the way back to their district, and immediately Junko stops to look at the figure in the distance that was looking at them.
'SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! They know I heard and saw them...but something about this Ryota Mitarai guy is involved...not sure if they know its me but still I got to try and get away!' thought Naegi as he turned his head back walking further away from them.
"Hey Mukuro, something seems weird about that person who looked at us in the far distance...lets follow him and capture him...something tells me he heard us" replies Junko in a whisper to Mukuro.
Mukuro nods seriously as she looks ahead trying to figure out the person in the jacket outfit but she couldn't see the identity of the person by his hoodie over his head.
Naegi looks straight ahead as he was making his way to the middle of the school grounds seeing the fountain in the distance as he passes by he saw a bulky man in a purple tuxedo having his head down with his hands crossed resting on his forehead like he was stressed out about something. He gives a quick glance as looks up to see Naegi pass by but then looks down at the ground again and sighs. About 25 seconds after Junko and Mukuro pass by the man as they were about 60 feet behind Naegi.
Suddenly Naegi sees a young women who was wearing a maid uniform in about her 20s walking with a happy smile on her face; she then looks at Naegi and waves to him.
'Must be a teacher...no point in calling for help from her about these two after me...besides they would act like they didn't even notice me given their distance behind me...plus my cover would be blown' thought Naegi.
Naegi waves back and then looks straight ahead of him in the distance as he passes her. Naegi then takes out his phone when he reaches inside the east district jogging his way down the very long hallway. Soon Junko and Mukuro make it in and they see Naegi running in the far distance.
"HEY YOU! COME BACK HERE! We want to TALK to YOU!" exclaims Junko like a solider.
After about a few minutes he sends the message to Kyoko and continues to hide from Junko and Mukuro.
'...All I can do now is pray...fuck just wish I was more athletic' thought Naegi out of breath.
As he reached a dead end of a hallway from turning a left earlier he heard the slightest footsteps very close to him and as he turns to see who it is his vision went completely black and lost consciousness.
Naegi then lays down on the ground with his mouth open and his hoodie now open revealing his identity to them. Mukuro who hit him in the back of the head and Junko standing beside her now gasp as they realized that it was one of their classmates.
"What the fuck? It was Naegi-ku..." replies Junko but then pauses looking at his body strangely and stared at the figure while analyzing him like crazy.
"Hair is longer than normal, height is not 5'3" but rather 5'5 1/2", and his...age seems older" replies Junko out loud to herself.
"...What the heck is going on?" asks Mukuro puzzled and agitated.
"So that time...when I encountered him on the ground at the beginning of the year...that was him! Then the time in the cafeteria and that bear costume...that name Igean...! Backwards it's Naegi! No way..." replies Junko solving an epiphany.
"...What do you want me to do with him?" asks Mukuro looking at Naegi blankly feeling confused and very weirded out by the appearance of him.
"It seems to me...we got some very exciting questions for him" smiled Junko evilly.
(The Biggest Tragic Event in Human History Music Plays...)
Naegi wakes up and looks around in a dark room. He was unsure where exactly he was but as he tried to move his arms he noticed they were tied up behind his back and then he hears a recognizable voice.
"So you're awake, Naegi-kun" replies Junko turning on a small light in the room above her.
Naegi opened his eyes in terror and tried to scream but his mouth was filled with a cloth.
"No one is coming to help you, you did this to yourself you know pupupupu" replied Junko evilly.
"When we happen to capture you in the hallways, I knew that you definitely were not the Naegi we know..." replies Junko walking slowly towards Naegi's face.
"That only deducts that you are someone different that looks just like him...or perhaps..." Junko then gets right to his face touching his forehead with hers.
"You ARE him!" as she slightly raised her voice. All Naegi could do was scream until a sharp knife was pressed against the front of his neck.
"I wouldn't do that anymore if I were you...or my sister will kill you" replied Junko blankly. Naegi quiets down as he turns his eyes to see Mukuro looking at him very coldly.
"Now we want to talk to you, its very intriguing that you corporate with us because I adore you sooo much that you look cuter than before that I could cry right now!" cries Junko happily rubbing her cheeks together. Then she looks towards Mukuro, and points at her.
"Take the cloth out of his mouth and let him speak" replies Junko firing the order. Mukuro does as she is told and Naegi gags a little catching his breath and looks at Junko with hate.
"..." Naegi was speechless as he tried to remain calm.
'I got myself into a real fuckin nutshell...but I can't give up. I hope Kyoko can save me somehow...I should watch what I say to her very carefully though' thought Naegi quickly.
"Well are you going to say something? Naegi-kun?" smiles Junko like a little kid.
"...What made you think I was a threat?" asked Naegi.
"Oh? That...well its like I said you don't look exactly like him and it was freaking me and my sister out so yeah...its almost as if your older...plus once we knew you were running away then there was no turning back for letting you go" replies Junko curiously in admiration.
'She has a sharp eye...but Sayaka from an alternate timeline heard and saw two versions of me...although if I choose my words right I could evade from leaking too much information' thought Naegi.
"Are you saying that I'm old for my age? You're awfully rude" replies Naegi annoyed.
"Pupupup...you think that's what I was implying?" asks Junko a bit harshly.
"From the way and looks of things that's exactly what you just said bitch" replies Naegi coldly, then the blade pierces through Naegi's skin and he yelps a little bit in pain. Blood was beginning to stream down his neck as he felt the pain throbbing from where Mukuro cut him.
"Don't talk to Junko that way!" exclaimed Mukuro furiously.
"Not yet you persistent dog! But still I don't really care about him anyway...he's not even close to our plan; in fact he's completely boring" replies Junko.
"Wait! You don't mean the tragedy?!" cried Naegi.
Both Junko and Mukuro opened their eyes a little bit in shock and remained silent for a brief moment.
"So you heard that much then...shouldn't surprise me but...still you won't be around to see it unfortunately" replies Junko in despair.
'Figures I'm going to die here fuck...but I got to get as much info as I can anyways now' thought Naegi.
"Yeah in about 5 or so months from now right?" asked Naegi
"Well for the entire world yeah...but the tragedy here at Hope's Peak is very soon...about less than a week from now" smiled Junko evilly.
"Tck...you won't get away with this" replies Naegi frustrated.
"I think I will, since there's no more hope for you...future boy...that goes for Kyoko too. By the way...I got this" replies Junko holding out his phone.
Naegi opens his eyes more in terror as his heart skips a beat.
Igean...Igean...Igean what is that suppose to mean? HA it rhythms! Although...if you say it backwards it says N-A-E-G-I! You Naegi-kun" replies Junko in low cocky tone walking towards him again swinging the phone near his face teasing him.
"...Doing what you are about to do is going to hurt many people...and you don't even care" replies Naegi coldly.
"Oh? Well it doesn't matter what you think...I'm done talking to you...Mukuro you can kill him now if you like and then we can kill the detective next!" smiles Junko with a scary face.
"WAIT A SECOND! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" cries Naegi.
Mukuro places the blade deeper into his neck as more blood began to drip down him and just as she was going to slit him; Junko placed her hand up to stop her again; while Mukuro looks at Junko and then at Naegi releasing her combat knife.
"Oh? Did I hit a nerve?" asks Junko apologetically in a sarcastic way.
'I think it really doesn't matter anymore if I reveal too much information at this point...she seems to know I'm from the future I'll just use my next tactic on her' thought Naegi.
"Wait! Do you by chance know the name of a person named Izuru Kamukura?" replies Naegi in a slight panic.
"Well duh! He's like the founder of Hope's Peak dumm-" replies Junko but was rashly interrupted by Makoto.
"No! That's not what I'm getting at, I'm talking about the Izuru Kamukura Project..." replies Naegi viciously.
"...huh?" replies Junko a bit taken back by his response. The atmosphere became more intense than it already was as he notices Junko's eyes show no colour in them at all now.
"...There's someone who's participating in this experiment right?" asks Naegi.
"...Hmmmm" replies Junko staring at him blankly.
"Who exactly is the participant that's being experimented in this project?" asks Naegi.
"...That's none of your concern! besides its hopeless for you...jeez I can't even read you properly its so hard to figure you out that it makes me want to vomit on your pretty little face but I suppose if I tell you anyway you'll be the only one to know and last one for a long time pupupupupu" chuckles Junko very coldly this time with her expression.
"Well then its your call" replies Naegi without thinking.
"Oh? You're letting me decide whether I get to choose to tell you hahaha...this is a very despairing situation" replies Junko with a quirky attitude.
"..." Naegi remains silent.
"Should I tell you or should I not...hmmm? Okay I'll tell you but on one condition" replies Junko as she walks up to him closer placing her hand on his should and bends down to look him straight in the eyes.
"You have to tell me where your little device is that brought you here...and I'll let you live" replies Junko
"And if I refuse" replies Naegi.
"Well then I will keep it a secret while you keep yours Naegi-kun...and also" smiles Junko broadly pausing for moment. Both Naegi and Mukuro look at Junko for a moment or two until Junko began to madly blush.
"If me and Mukuro could give you a goodbye kiss on the lips for trying before you leave this world" replies Junko having her one fist to her lips and looking down at the ground feeling shy. To Naegi he was a bit disgusted out because she was not really his type at all; although Mukuro it was hard to say.
"J-j-j-j-j-junko!" cries Mukuro taking a few steps back from the tied up Naegi.
"That's only if he doesn't tell us anything!" replies Junko.
"B-but still I-" cries Mukuro beginning to blush madly as well.
"Come on you know deep down that you wanted to...you've been having your eyes on him since the day he smiled at you" replies Junko happily.
'If I tell her then Kyoko probably won't be able to save me...then there's both of them kissing me if I decided to stay silent and be killed but still I could find out the person who Izuru really is...however...my main concern is something else...so...I' thought Naegi.
"So be it, I won't tell you where it is" replies Naegi positively.
"Tch! Well then we'll just beat you up and torture you until you tell us then...too bad you won't be able to find that secret out now...but that was your decision" replies Junko.
'WHAT?! FUCK! THIS FUCKIN WHORE! I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I WILL SEND HER TO AN ASYLUM...' thought Naegi angrily.
After about 10 minutes...Naegi was brutally tortured...however he was about to die from the blood loss from being stabbed a few times from his sides of the stomach...also by Mukuro punching him non-stop in the face.
"Stop! He's still not speaking after all that...if we continue he'll die...we can't let that happen right now...but I'm surprised he didn't react by me tricking him" replies Junko.
"You're beyond saving Junko...hehehehe" replies Naegi lightly laughing weakly.
"Huh?" replies Junko.
"Want to know something that you may not know...interested" smiles Naegi with a bit of insanity in his eyes.
"Not really it's nothing probably important" replies Junko.

(Old World Order Music Plays...)
"You're going to die too" replies Naegi.
Junko and Mukuro just look at him expressionlessly.
"Hahahaha...why should I care...you're a heartless fuckin bitch who doesn't care about anyone but yourself! You think everyone wants despair to see how you feel but you're too blind that you let your high ego go over your head and make you become a narcissistic fuckin son of a BITCH!" screams Naegi. Mukuro didn't move because she was told not to touch Naegi so she remained in her position reluctantly.
"...Wow...I'm surprised to see this expression on your face Naegi...it's almost as if you changed but...I'm amazed how long you were able to hold all of that anger in...I should already know that since you probably seen a lot of my world by now...in some way...I think were both very much alike you and I...you know deep down I think I actually do having feelings for you..." replies Junko bluntly making her way over to him.
(Old World Order Music Ends...)
(Welcome to Despair Academy Music Plays...)
"I would never fall for the likes of yo-!" replies Naegi coldly knowing very well she has no heart to begin with in the first place. Out of nowhere he was then touched by both of her skeleton hands on his face and kissed on the lips from her for a few long moments. The kiss felt very wet as she tried opening her mouth once to catch breath and bring it back in. Naegi felt like there was no connection between them at all and soon Junko put her lips away from him slowly looking at him curiously.
"...For some reason...kissing you was more amazing than I imagined...oh well its such a shame you chose this path but it will be more despairing for all us and for the world to feel it too...well Mukuro its your turn now" replies Junko.
Mukuro madly blushes like crazy as she looks at Junko now angrily.
"Why are you making me do this?!" replies Mukuro
"..." replies Naegi .
"Stop lying to yourself and do it!" replies Junko happily.
"...Are you sure?" Mukuro looks at Naegi a bit sad/happy, angry and frustrated. It was too many emotions for her at this moment but for some reason this moment felt like time slowed down completely for her.
Naegi looks at her with annoyance from all the torture she gave him but he still felt that there was hope for her.
"That's a dumb question just do it already" smiled Junko intensively.
"..." Mukuro silently walks towards him reluctantly and stops when she reaches to his face.
She blushes a little as she looks at him and he looks at Mukuro with silence in the air between them. Her eyes sparkle in the small little room as she felt sadness sink in when she began to close her eyes and reach for his lips. Before she hits his lips with her mouth she says only two words to him.
"...I'm sorry" replies Mukuro.
They kiss as their lips touch and it felt very warm, moist and comfortable that all the pain Naegi felt went completely numb and he decided to kiss her back as his world felt a little bit brighter. They began to kiss longer than expected as they were to the point of making out French kissing and after about 30 seconds Junko butted in a bit furiously stomping her feet on the ground.
"Hey! Why are you kissing him for that long and in that way?! That's not fair to me you know" cries Junko annoyed.
They put their lips away from each other and they stare at one another like they were amazed by what just happened to them.
"Well there you go Naegi-kun we both gave you a farewell goodbye kiss before you die here" replies Junko.
"..." Mukuro looks at Naegi still not taking her eyes off him.
"Mukuro! You're going to be the one to kill your lover...once your done dispose of him like you usually do" replies Junko swaying her hands bored.
(Despair Academy Music Ends...)
(Desire for Execution Music Plays...)
"...I-I...I'm sorry" replies Mukuro lifting her hand up and pointing her combat knife directly in front of him.
'Kyoko...you better travel back soon...I might have an idea to stall them!' thought Naegi coming to a conclusion.
"Mukuro before you do let me tell you something very important..." replies Naegi calmly.
"...Go on" replies Mukuro slightly curious as to what his last words may be.
(Desire for Execution Music Ends...)
(Class Trial Revival Edition Music Plays...)
"Your sister will kill you during the mutual killing game in the future that we all participant in here at Hope's Peak Academy...if we didn't lose our memories we probably would of been able to save you Mukuro...I'm sorry" replies Naegi coming to a closure.
"...What are you talking about?" asks Mukuro a bit taken back from his comment.
"You disguised yourself as Junko in the mutual killing game...and thus we later found out it was you who died. But, you want to make your sister happy right? Well in the end her wish was just to feel more despair by her killing you herself...you can still stop her and help me out but I suppose that's up to you to decide" replies Naegi as he closes his eyes lightly smiling and ignoring about the situation he is in now.
"...Naegi? Why tell me all of this?" replies Mukuro lightly blushing and feeling a bit serious at the same time.
"Because Mukuro you are a very special person to me...the last thing I want is for you to feel more regret than you haven't felt yet at this time already...I hope that you're making the right choice" replies Naegi.
"...I'm sorry Makoto...I can't help you...goodbye" replies Mukuro feeling utter despair.
"The device is hidden in the gymnasium under the stage...you should find it there" replies Naegi calmly as he lied.
"Good! And now you will have to pay...IT'S EXECUTION TIME!" replies Junko crying in triumph.
'I tried to help her...but Mukuro is too infatuated by her sisters delusions...Kyoko I hope you got my message and it gave you enough time to escape from here...it's all up to you now' thought Naegi.

(Thousand Knocks Music Plays...)
Mukuro then looks at him seeing his eyes closed tightly in sweat all over his face and body as his anxiety begins to give him a heart attack.
Naegi begins to breathe heavier and heavier as his world begins to spin in all directions and can't decide when it will stop.
Mukuro tightens her fist in her knife hand as she was hesitating but then her eyes gleamed the cold eyes of a killer as she quickly slit his throat in one slash. Within seconds his head tilts down looking at the ground as blood kept dripping on the floor from his front and the sides from earlier and the world for Naegi became a blur and he died silently.
(Thousand Knocks Music Ends...)
(Despair Syndrome Music Plays...)
'...Why? Something about his reaction...he seem to become calm at the end...but why did I have to kill him? I was doing it for my sister...but she kills me in the future? Is that true?' thought Mukuro deeply. As she was disposing Naegi's body having him over her shoulder while descending down the ladder her world went blank and completely black from everything around her.
10 Minutes pass and Mukuro disposes the body deep under the trash so that eventually it would reach down to the incinerator. She quickly shakes her head and made her up the ladder to head to where her sister is but as she climbed she thought deeply about her actions.
'What's his entire motive behind all of this?...Is there a reason for why he's coming back here?' thought Mukuro dumbstruck.
Then an image flashed before her eyes from the moment she was kissing Naegi from all the bruises and cuts that were all over him.
'What is this? I...I haven't felt this feeling since I started the Military with Fenrir the Mercenary group...but this feeling...I'm...whatever I got over that so I should be able to get over this too...even easier, yeah that has to be it...right?' thought Mukuro.
She was about halfway there when she heard the incinerator machine from below turning on again and knew that he was now gone.
'I'm doing this for Junko...not for him! Junko is my best friend...my only friend...the only thing I can do now is to help her with the plan ahead...that's all I can do' thought Mukuro reaching the top opening the hatch.
Once she find her sister near the hallway from the new east district building near the foyer she sees her looking through Naegi's phone.
"You know the Naegi from our time is still alive, so you shouldn't feel down about what you did" replies Junko still looking at Naegi's phone reading some of the messages.
"...What are we going to do about that detective? We know that she's been with that Naegi the whole time..." replied Mukuro changing the subject.
"Either way it won't matter, will just get rid of her as well but I think will have to wait before we do just so the principle doesn't go snooping around and especially her grandfather that she's talked about to everyone...because he's a detective too" replies Junko annoyed.
"You have a point sis" replies Mukuro.
"It's funny, Naegi already had the answer he was looking for through a text message to Kyoko about saving him haha. Pathetic like seriously...well doesn't matter anyway because he fell into despair and told us where it is sooo lets hurry over there!" replies Junko placing the phone in her pocket.
"Wouldn't she have gotten the message hours ago?" asks Mukuro a bit worried.
"No, she just received it about a few seconds ago...like the message was too long to process properly...guess he really is a unlucky student but it doesn't matter anyway since the gymnasium is about a couple minutes from us" replies Junko beginning to walk away.
"Y-yeah" replies Mukuro frowning as she followed her sister feeling a bit blank minded with zoning everything out from her own world.

(Kyoko's Dormitory)
(30 Seconds ago)
11:02pm
Kyoko was lying on her bed upset that Naegi did not reply to her at all and she couldn't fall asleep till she got a reply but suddenly she finally received a late responded text from hours ago by Naegi from the future.
"Finally, what took him so dam long?" asked Kyoko to herself furiously.
To: Kyoko
I'm sorry but I don't think I'll make it this time to see you Kyoko. It appears Junko and Mukuro have figured us out and I'm not sure how long they've known but if I had to guess it was probably when they saw me today. As of now they are probably watching me in the distance...once they have an opening they will probably take me away. I want you to go back in time and save me. I know I've always been the one to do it but now you got to do it. My last information I can give you about our discussion will be in here. About the other situation that I wanted to mention, a girl came up to me today named Chiaki Nanami who was looking for a missing student from the Reserves Department. His name is Hajime Hinata, although I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what were dealing with Junko's doing or something else. But no one just doesn't give an explanation for someone's disappearance. If anything...this school is hiding more things from us than we can imagine. Also a student named Ryota Mitarai is involved somehow...as to what his purpose is I don't know. Junko and Mukuro seem to have known recently too by how they were talking. Well, hopefully we can get to the bottom of all of this. Anyways, best of luck to you and I hope you can save the future. P.S Don't come find me right now because by the time you do...I'll already be dead. Make sure to find me after 6:30pm so that I can keep up to date on the information I gathered. During that time I'll be encountered by Junko and Mukuro coming out from the south distirct of Ryota's dorm...I believe they haven't discovered my identity yet at this point but I'm sure they will once they capture me. Anyways...goodbye for now.
From: Igean
6:50pm
Kyoko slightly tears up and looks at her hands in distress.
"...you idiot" replies Kyoko very quietly to herself.
Kyoko begins to have flashbacks from the previous months she spent with him.
'I don't know these turn of events. I came here for a reason. That's to stop Junko Enoshima and possibly Mukuro Ikusaba. If I keep relying on time traveling predicting I'd know the answer. Then I wouldn't truly know what to be expecting. For that, hope can only be found if you search from the very beginning. Like a seed being planted for example. You keep watering it and watering it until you wait for the results of the outcome'
"...Naegi...why now...?" cries Kyoko, for the first time in a long time, she hasn't cried for ages since the situation between her father and herself.
'If I were able to time travel to a crime scene without knowing the exact motives but knowing certain events. I wouldn't be able to create a justification report of the suspects accusations. Simply because I tried skipping certain important steps along the way. Sometimes you just have to see how will things play out'
Kyoko recalls saying this to Naegi at one point and realized she was being naïve.
"Sometimes you got to break the rules to figure out a case...well then let's go!" exclaims Kyoko tightening her fist in agony.
A few moments later she opens her dorm door looking around to make sure no one saw her and began making her way to her locker. As she got up to the second floor of the dormitory she typed in her password and took out the device. Flicking the timeline date for: 12/25/2010 6:15pm and then places it down in front of her.
'Okay...I just got to avoid where I was during earlier today and make my way over to the south district...shouldn't be too much of a problem...' thought Kyoko as she bent down to press the orange button...however nothing happened!
'What?! Something isn't right...' thought Kyoko. She then lightly pushes the button again and still nothing to her appeal.
"Come on...not now" lightly cries Kyoko in a panic.
'Wait...that time machine that disappeared from the other Naegi 6 days ago...how was that working? Did he happen to deal with something before making the trip? ...!' thought Kyoko just remembering that day on December 19th.
"I'm such an idiot...I lost my thought of judgement and completely forgot that he told me that something was wrong with it...shit if only I had that one that disappeared with him...what now?" replies Kyoko frustrated with herself. She then begins seeing flash backs non-stop as she was beginning to get very stressed out.
(Flashback)
'It's better to not use it unless its necessary but...if I do go through it again...I just hope I won't have to disappear...now that I think about it...will I disappear after I'm done here?!' replies Naegi's voice in her memories.
(Flashback End)
"No! I won't let your future be for nothing..." replies Kyoko lightly tightening her fists.
(Flashback)
'Let's hope you don't have to use it again' echo's her own voice.
(Flashback Ends)
"...Come on please work" replies Kyoko pushing the button with more force.
(Flashback)
'I want you to go back in time and save me. I know I've always been the one to do it but now you got to do it'
(Flashback Ends)
"WORK!" shouts Kyoko in anger. She then kicks the machine with a little bit of force and then right before her eyes the electricity was sparkling and the world around her began to deteriorate as her head began to spin like crazy.
(Flashback)
'Best of luck to you and I hope you can save the future' echoed Naegi's voice.
(Flashback Ends)
"I'll save you...because I...don't want to lose you" replies Kyoko quietly to herself with a smile.
"MUKURO KILL THAT BITCH OF A DETECTIVE!" cries Junko's voice scornfully.
Kyoko turns to see Mukuro running towards her but within seconds a white flash blinds her for a moment and she opens her eyes to see that it was back to normal again...however Mukuro and Junko's unorthodox appearance were no were to be found in plain sight.
Saturday, December 25th 2010.
6:15pm
(Locker Room Second Floor in New Building)
"Did I make it?" asked Kyoko to herself out loud. She quickly opened her locker and saw a second time machine in there knowing very well that she was going to use it later tonight and quickly saw the time on the machine's clock.
"So I'm here" smiled Kyoko as she closed her locker shut.
'That was too close...for a second I thought I was going to die...anyways its different now...they don't suspect anything yet about us so I should quickly put this machine in the bathroom on the second floor and make my way to where he is' thought Kyoko without a second thought.
Kyoko made her way down the hallway changing her cell phone time to the past time to make sure she doesn't get confused. As she looks out at the window she notice that it was the evening with a bright sun shining in the far horizon. She then begins to tighten her fist and turns to look ahead her moving forward with confidence.
She was on the second floor bathroom of the men's as she placed the machine between a crack in the wall inside the dark room at the far left corner and luckily it fitted there.
'Now that I think about it...how was I able to get it to work when the one Naegi told me that we went to the physicists about this problem...if anything it must of been a screw loose inside the device...alright whatever it doesn't matter right now, lets go save Naegi-kun' thought Kyoko making her way out of the washroom.
Making it outside of the other side of the east district doors she checked her phone for the time.
6:23pm
'So I got to make sure to reach Naegi by 6:50pm...because if I stop him before then I won't be able to get his message to come back here...lets head to the south district and wait' thought Kyoko as she begins to lightly jog there.
She begins to enter the south district and sees many dorm buildings outside, however she wasn't sure which dorm Junko and Mukuro would appear. However she was also clueless of where Naegi will appear too. She then decided to quickly check her phone again.
6:31pm was the time.
'I better hide somewhere so I can wait for any of them to appear...' thought Kyoko.
She then goes around to one of the short walls that displayed the properties of the dorms. As a few minutes pass she hesitantly moves from her position and tries to go around another corner.
Once she made it around the corner she saw in the distance of someone wearing a hoodie and casually walking as he was passing the dorms with his hands in his pockets.
'...Naegi! I found you' thought Kyoko as her heart skipped a beat. As she was about 50 feet away from him she got out her hiding position and decided to reach closer to him.
'This is my chance to reach him and st-' thought Kyoko but then to her right side she heard Junko's and Mukuro's voices coming out of a door. Kyoko opens her eyes a little bit in shock and immediately turns around going back to her position in an instant.
"His anime was amazing right!? I totally think Ryota Mitarai will be essential to our plan! We should start preparing to move him elsewhere tomorrow" cries Junko in triumph.
Kyoko peaks her head out a little and see's Junko and Mukuro about 25 feet ahead of her on the sidewalk pavement.
'Anime?' thought Kyoko curiously.
"His anime was so beautiful!" cries Mukuro in awe.
All of a sudden they stop talking and look ahead of them in the distance and Kyoko could sort of see Naegi's hair briefly but then he turned back around walking away further.
She looks at Junko as she was whispering into Mukuro's ear, Kyoko couldn't hear obviously what she was saying but she assumed that they were going to pursue him. Mukuro nodded her head and then began walking forward. After a few moments she got out her spot and knew to try to stay away from being out in the open since they both were good at detecting people; especially Mukuro from her Military experience.
She quickly looks at the dorm for a moment.
'Ryota Mitarai...will come back to find you' thought Kyoko confidently. Meanwhile the maid uniform women walks closely towards the fountain area ahead of Kyoko. As she was about to pass them from the fountain she heard them talk and stopped in her tracks.
"What is it? Did something happen?" asks the maid women's voice.
"More than just something, over twenty staff members have disappeared. They all vanished, like they been spirited away" replies the deep male's voice.
'...What?!' thought Kyoko puzzled. As far as she knew, she knows about the staff members but has no idea how many are on the school board and she can only assume that her father is keeping it on the down low.
"T-they disappeared?!" raised the female maid's voice in alarm.
"And there's more, the trustees were panicked, wanting us to beef up security around you and the kids" replies the deep man's voice.
'Something doesn't sound right here...I got to pass them if I want to keep my tabs on reaching Naegi' thought Kyoko as she saw Junko and Mukuro about 65 feet away from her.
"Does it have something to do with the project?" asks the female maid.
'Wait! So the male security guard obviously knew but how did the teacher know...' thought Kyoko confused as she stopped herself again from passing them as she stayed crouched on the side of the fountain.
"No clue...thanks to their attempts to hide everything, I have no idea of the real situation...but underneath it all, something bad is undoubtedly going on, stick your head in any further...and you..." replies the male security.
"I'm prepared for that!" replies the maid confidently.
"Are you stupid? If something were to happen..." replies the male security.
Kyoko looks again and sees that they were now 90 feet away from her about 30 yards of a football field length.
'I can still make it but I got to go now and ignore them' thought Kyoko getting up from the side of the fountain and jogging by them quickly.
"I could die for Muna-" the maid then stopped her sentence as the security male saw a girl run past them.
"HEY! Did you just hear all of that?!" cried the security male as he stood up from sitting on the fountain. Kyoko ignored them and kept running as fast as she could now.
Chisa turns around to look and saw the girl running down the sidewalk in the distance.
"Wait a second...is that who I think it is? questioned the maid women.
(Discussion HOPE VS. DESPAIR Music Plays...)
"The principle's daughter...we can't let her get away with that information! If she tells him will be kicked out of here and there will be nothing we can do to stop all of this!" freaked the male security running to chase after the girl in anger.
"W-wait! Juzo!" cried the maid women as she chased after him.
Kyoko ran as she was gaining momentum speed as she sees Junko and Mukuro reach a door up ahead making their way inside.
"Don't try to stop me Chisa, Get BACK here detective!" screams Juzo Sakakura at the top of his lungs.
Kyoko looks back to see the security guard was chasing after her in fury with the maid known as Chisa Yukizome tailing behind him. Kyoko knew that she didn't have time to explain the situation; so she had no choice but to keep running to save Naegi and ignore them.
"Stop there's no need to cause a scene!" cried Chisa.
Kyoko makes her way in through the doors with a quick jolt push and began running down the hallway.
'I don't see anyone up ahead...where did they go?' thought Kyoko looking from left to right. She checked her phone and the time was now...
6:49pm
'He's about to send the message...this should be about the time to find him' thought Kyoko looking a little further up the hallway now.
From behind her she could hear the doors open very dramatically like a bull taking it down and practically breaking the doors. Juzo's eyes were filled with hatred right now as he stares at Kyoko up in the distance from 20 yards from her.
"You think I'm going to go easy on you just because your the principle's daughter! You'll regret it from running away!" yelled Juzo sprinting towards her.
Surprisingly he was very fast for a security guard as she quickly looked behind her. She then sees that she can go left or right and quickly chooses to make a right from the hallway and sprinting as fast as she could in her life.
Her deep breathing was causing her to sweat in anxiety and adrenaline. She's never done so much physical activity in this moment of her lifetime but some of the gym classes in the past were helping her to keep motivated too push forward without giving up and most of all she wants to help save Naegi's life.
Juzo does a quick skid as he turns right now seeing Kyoko about 10 yards away from him. Juzo quickly grits his teeth in anger with a smile and dashes forward.
"Think again if you believe you can outrun me! I may not be the Ultimate Sprinter but I will definitely catch you!" cries Juzo with triumph.
Kyoko panics as she sees Juzo about to catch up to her as she sprints to see another set of doors in the distance she lunges towards the doors and opens them to find herself near the new foyer of the new school building in the distance.
'Shit! If she gets past the foyer she can easily make her way to the top floor of this building to reach him...I can't let her do that! Or all of this work will be for fuckin nothing! Munakata...we cannot fail' thought Juzo thinking about his lover and shows determination in his eyes.
He was about 5 yards away from her now as they were heading close to the open area of the foyer, he could slightly hear Chisa's voice from behind him as she sounded furious.
"Juzo! Stop! Please!" cries Chisa in despair.
"I got you NOW detective!" shouts Juzo hoarsely as he jumps on top of Kyoko tackling her small body.
*Thud*
Kyoko could tell instantly that he was very strong holding the position to keep her down, there was no chance of getting away from him now as her vision became blurry.
"You think that going to your father solves all your problems! When will you grow up and walk on your own two feet DETECTIVE!" slightly raises Juzo's voice with triumph.
"I'm sorry...Naegi" replies Kyoko's voice in a slight sad tone as she fell unconscious.
"Huh? Naegi? Who the hell is that?" Asks Juzo a bit irritated. Chisa's loud footsteps from the hallway were making her way over to them as she was out of breath.
"Juzo! Get off of her right now!" shouts Chisa really furious with a scary look in her eyes.
Juzo turns to look at Chisa in anger as he kept his position on the detective.
"And if I do that she'll be going to tell the whole staff members...do you really want that?" replies Juzo frustrated.
"I don't care if she does! But doing what you are at this moment is unnecessary...so please...stop!" replies Chisa having a bit of tears come down her eyes.
"You care about those students in your class right?! They look up to you as a mentor and a dear friend...that will all go away and even worse...will probably won't be able to likely get jobs at all after this...is that what you really want?!" cries Juzo.
"Shut-up!" shouts Chisa at the top of her lungs.
Juzo was taken back from her random outburst and went speechless.
(Danganronpa 3: BAD END? Music Plays...)
"I'm not doing this for you or the school...yes I care about my students from the very bottom of my heart because I want them to succeed but...I'm doing this for Munakata because I love him" replies Chisa crying with tears coming down from both of her eyes.
"...Tch" Juzo grits his teeth in anger and looks away from her and looks back down at the detective. He then realizes that she was unconscious and assumed that it happened a little after when he tackled her but he was too clueless to even notice.
"Fine, don't forget to not bring your personal feelings into your work though" replies Juzo getting off the detective's body and standing up.
"Wait...don't tell me you're possibly jealous?" asked Chisa as her tears were beginning to dry up now.
"...Yeah, kinda" replies Juzo looking at the ground.
"Huh?! Oh, um, er" replies Chisa confused and flustered.
"No need to get all serious again...It's a joke" replies Juzo looking at the detective's body again. The detective was heavily breathing from all the running she did trying to get away from him and he could only think about how she fell unconscious...then realized it was probably because he was the Ultimate Boxer.
"Huh? Don't startle me like that! Gosh!" cries Chisa in relief.
"Anyways, we need to talk with her when she wakes up and make sure we persuade her to keep this a secret" replies Juzo seriously with a plain expression on his face as he deeply felt hurt by Chisa possibly getting to his lover first.
"Huh? I don't know if that's a good idea" replies Chisa.
"It's the best one I got, unless you got a better idea" replies Juzo picking up the detectives body and placing her over his big shoulder.
"...Where would we be taking her?" asks Chisa curious and worried.
"Will walk to the nursery room and say that she felt dizzy and fainted, come on lets go before someone realizes somethings up" replies Juzo
"Okay" replies Chisa.
(BAD END? Music Ends...)
(Nursury Room)
10:58pm
"Kyoko" replies Naegi's voice.
Kyoko saw an image of Naegi.
"Kyoko wake up" replies Juzo as Kyoko opens her eyes as she sat up quickly alarmed.
"Suppose I woke you from a nice dream...but this is reality" replies Juzo.
She looks to find that he was the only one in the room sitting on a chair blocking the door from her leaving.
"So how much did you overhear in our conversation?" asks Juzo seriously.
"..." Kyoko kept silent as she was thinking about what the time is. Then her stomach began to growl all of a sudden
"Suppose you haven't eaten in awhile...well Chisa will be here soon. She was just gone to get some food for you...now who is this Naegi, you spoke of before you fell unconscious?" asks Juzo leaning forward in his chair.
"..." Kyoko didn't trust him at all, she wasn't sure which side he was on.
"TELL ME! I'M NOT FUCKIN AROUND HERE DETECTIVE!" shouts Juzo furiously.
Kyoko goes into her pocket to search for her phone but couldn't find it in her pockets.
"Can I have my phone back? I need to know the time" replies Kyoko.
"Huh?!" asks Juzo agitated.
"...I'll give it back to you when I'm done talking to you but I'll check" Juzo sighs showing her phone then placing it back in his pocket and takes out his cell phone to check.
"It's one minute to 11 at night" replied Juzo.
"...Shit!" replies Kyoko showing slight emotion of anger as she looked down at the ground.
"Why are you pissed? Did something happen?" replies Juzo a bit worried not knowing if something else terrible happened in this school that she knows about.
"From the looks of it, it seems you had permission to keep watch of me..." replies Kyoko changing the subject.
"Don't change the subject detective, I don't got time to play games here" replies Juzo seriously.
"..." Kyoko remained silent again.
"Look I'm on your side, but I need you to tell me what happened and why you were running away from me" replies Juzo
"Before I tell you anything, what makes you think your on my side?" asks Kyoko curious and suspicious.
"...Tch do you know what type of situation were dealing with here?! This shouldn't of been heard by you or anyone involved participating in this school" replies Juzo.
"What makes you have the rights to know if I must say you're participating in this school too?" asks Kyoko firing an accusation at him.
'This women is a pain in the ass...no wonder she's a detective' thought Juzo frustrated now.
*Knock Knock*
"Juzo, can I come in?" asks Chisa's voice from behind the door that he was blocking.
"Give me one second..." Juzo looks at the detective coldly and then stands up moves the chair and lets Chisa Yukizome into the room.
"You're Kyoko Kirigiri from Class 78th right?" asks Chisa as Juzo shuts the door behind her and places the chair back in it's spot.
Kyoko just nods. Chisa takes an apple and a water bottle from her pocket and hands it to her.
"Here have this" replies Chisa kindly and Kyoko takes it thanking her while she began to eat the apple.
"Juzo Sakakura is a very close friend of mine when I went to Hope's Peak Academy a few years back now...we want to help you. If you know something, you can trust us...we've been trying to figure out the cases behind this school's secrets for awhile now" replies Chisa.
"Chisa what are you doing?! Don't tell her-" replies Juzo but was interrupted by Chisa.
"I think she already knows that...after all were talking to the Ultimate Detective here" replies Chisa now sitting down on the hospital bed near Kyoko as she was still eating.
'I recognize seeing her in the hallways before but...I can't remember seeing him very often...are these two trying to figure out what's going in this school? I should ask them what they already know and deduct the rest from there' thought Kyoko calmly.
"My name is Chisa Yukizome, I'm the teacher of Class 77-B here...there's people who've gone missing and we want to try to get to the bottom of all of this...I know you don't trust us but will listen to whatever information you can give us" replies Chisa.
"..." Kyoko remained silent still as she still wasn't sure what her intentions were yet.
"Kyosuke Munakata is a previous student council president that came here too with us in our class and we've all been trying to make Hope's Peak Academy a better place since the day we all came here...we know that they are doing something terrible to this school and...it's almost impossible to stop it because we don't know who's behind it all..." replies Chisa.
'I think I can mention about what they were talking about earlier...' thought Kyoko going with her gut instinct.
"You two mentioned about a project earlier correct?" asks Kyoko.
"Yes we did" replies Chisa nodding her head.
"Was it perhaps the Izuru Kamukura Project?" asks Kyoko seriously.
They both gasped and looked at her surprised.
"How did you know...?" replies Juzo confused.
Kyoko places her hand on her chin and looks down at the ground.
"As far as I know, the project was to experiment on a particular person...however the person who's in the project is unknown..." replies Kyoko now looking at them.
"Yeah we been trying to figure out who was experimented on but there isn't any leads...the security for even me is kept tight within these school walls that even I don't know what's going on half of the time" replies Juzo sighing.
"How did you get this information though? You still haven't answered my question" replies Juzo after a moment of silence.
She looks at him for a moment as to trust him or not but she assumes that it might be okay. From the looks of it, they didn't seem to be following Junko's group of despair.
"Makoto Naegi" replies Kyoko
"Hmmm, I think I know who that is...but I'm still not sure" replies Chisa placing her finger on her chin looking up at the ceiling.
"Is he from your class?" asks Chisa a second later looking at Kyoko.
"Yes...however what I'm about to tell you...is something you probably won't be able to believe or possibly want to hear but...it's the only way we might stand a chance against this school's army" replies Kyoko very seriously.
"...Okay tell us everything you know" replies Juzo very seriously.
"Makoto Naegi is known as the Ultimate Lucky Student...although the one I've been keeping communication with is another person who was entirely given a second chance to change history" replies Kyoko.
(New World Order Music Plays...)
"..." both Juzo and Chisa look at Kyoko like she was crazy.
"Did I happen to hit you too hard on the ground that you gotten a concussion?" asks Juzo confused.
"Maybe you should rest for little while longer and we can come back later" replies Chisa concerned.
"Just listen...I got plenty of more evidence to back it up...this may take a long while" replies Kyoko placing her apple on the table beside her.
"Alright then, explain to us first what you mean that your classmate was given this second chance..." replies Juzo.
"In about 6-7 month from now...the entire world will fall into a catastrophic disaster of despair with the mass destruction and chaos that was done by the mastermind. About a year will pass and only our class remains in the school living here for as long as we could boarding up the walls and staying safe...before we know it the mastermind happens to preform a mutual killing game against all of us in this school causing us to lose our memories when attending here and being forced to go against one another" replies Kyoko taking a moment to let them sink it in.
"Okay...I'm not sure where this is all coming from but-" replies Chisa trying to cut in.
"Makoto found a time machine and traveled back in time 2 years into the past to stop the one person who caused all of the disappearances to the staff members, the tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy and the tragedy that causes the world outside to be destroyed by a high intellectual AI known as the Monokuma bears" replies Kyoko seriously.
"..." they both remained silent and were very unsure to believe the untwined story being presented to them.
"She happens to be one of our classmates that caused all of this..." replies Kyoko.
"What's her name?" asks Juzo curious.
"Junko Enoshima and her older twin sister Mukuro Ikusaba...they are the ones that cause to destroy this school's reputation and history here for the future...even now as we speak they are planning everything together" replies Kyoko.
"Wait! You're talking about the Model girl with the big pink pig tails right?" asks Chisa
"Yes..." replies Kyoko
"Hmmm" replies Chisa concerned.
"This just seems weird...how can such a girl be able to cause so much chaos?" asks Juzo very confused and frustrated.
"Because her true talent is 'True Ultimate Despair' and she's good at manipulating others around her...I always try to keep my distance from her...I always knew there was something wrong with her" replies Kyoko scratching her head lightly.
"...I just don't know how to believe any of this...it just sounds very absurd and if this boy from your class is really from the future then where is he right now?" asks Juzo curiously.
"He's probably dead because I couldn't find him..." replies Kyoko a bit sad.
"...What do you mean?" asks Chisa.
"Read my text" replies Kyoko, Juzo then takes out her phone and looks for it until he finds the message.
"Long enough...you read it" replies Juzo dismissively as he hands it over to her.
"Wow seems like you never really liked reading even now" smiled Chisa lightly chuckling.
"This isn't funny right now just tell us what it says" replies Juzo irritated.
Chisa read the text outloud and examined everything that was written and then passes the phone back to Kyoko instead of Juzo.
"Hey what are you-?!" cries Juzo a bit alarmed.
"It's okay she can have it back, besides I trust her" replies Chisa.
"Tch...whatever you say" replies Juzo.
"So are you possibly from the future too?" asks Chisa ignoring his comment.
"This is the first time I've ever done this and I really don't enjoy it honestly...however I got to save him because he holds the key to saving this school from despair...you could almost say that he's the Ultimate of Hope..." smiles Kyoko for the first time to them.
"...Tck" replies Juzo quietly as he was a bit irritated about this Naegi character.
"So what will you do now? Go back?" asks Chisa
"I have no other choice but...if I go back again there will be three of me altogether" replies Kyoko
"Huh?" replies Chisa confused.
"The original version of me will be around the east district eating at the cafeteria, while the version me right now is with you guys and thus leaving the third one to find a way to avoid the other two" replies Kyoko
"That just fuckin confused me, but everything you told us I'll believe is true...if you can prove your from the future...we deserve to know" replies Juzo very seriously staring into her eyes to see if she was lying. However, Kyoko knew she was telling the truth and didn't show any sign of reluctant or hesitation to disagree with them.
"Follow me, it's on the 2nd floor of the east district" replies Kyoko getting up from the hospital bed.
(New World Order Music Ends...)
"In a classroom?" asks Chisa
"No...the Male's Washroom" replies Kyoko
"Huh?!" replies Chisa lightly blushing.
"Why would you put it somewhere like that? Someone would obviously see it" replies Juzo lightly chuckling.
"It's in a secret passage stall hidden from plain sight...it was built into this school for top secret reasons" replies Kyoko.
"I see...that's really strange...no surprise there though that they got a bunch of things they keep secret about" replies Juzo.
They then leave the room and make their way to the second floor and Kyoko knew that her other self was already gone by now since it was past 11:25pm their time when she asked Juzo for the time. It was now 11:32pm as they almost made it there Kyoko told them, she asked them because she wanted to know if her other self was gone. As she told them this they just agreed in silence about her explanation still not believing her completely.
'This better not be some trap were getting into to or I will do something about it' thought Juzo cautiously.
'Is Junko really behind all of this? I don't know if I can believe her...I suppose will know soon enough...I'll do anything to protect this school and my classmates no matter what' thought Chisa anxiously.
They finally made it to the male's washroom standing there for a moment.
"By the way where was the other version of you before you traveled?" Asks Chisa
"You still believe her? I think this is just a joke" replies Juzo
"She just told us a bunch of information about a lead to this schools mystery and now you don't believe her?!" lightly raises Chisa's voice angry with Juzo.
"It's no joke, you'll believe me when you see it inside here" replies Kyoko knowing Juzo was a bit weary of the truth still.
They both look at her and just agree in silence. As they make their way in they follow her to the back of the bathroom and she opened the wall by touching a few parts on the hidden wall and cranked it open; displaying a hidden passage beyond them.
"Whaaa?!" cries Chisa amazed.
"You got to be fuckin kidding me right now!" gasps Juzo.
Kyoko walks over to where the time machine was in the far left back corner where she placed it and picked it up. She walks over to them as they open their eyes a bit wide by what she was holding. It was about 15 pounds to lift and all the light came on when she tapped on the machine.
"What the fuck...?" replies Juzo dumbstrucked.
"I don't believe it..." replies Chisa unable to say much from what she was looking at but still they thought it was just a clock.
"You will believe me once I use it but before I go...I trust you will keep this a hidden secret from the school...no one can find out about this...if you really want to save this school then this will be the key to solving it" replies Kyoko with a serious tone.
"...You can count on us" replies Chisa
"..." Juzo just looks away feeling unease about all of this.
"And what about you?" asks Kyoko.
"...Fine, but still if this is really for real now...I don't how much this school was hiding from all of us" replies Juzo.
"Whereabouts did Naegi find the time machine?" asks Chisa.
"He found it in the physics lab...however when we searched for it there...it wasn't there...most likely it's hidden elsewhere or possibly not finished yet...in any case once I go back I'll have to make sure I don't run into anyone from you guys or the other two versions of me...plus Junko and Mukuro I got to worry about too" replies Kyoko a bit worried but not to the point of overwhelmed.
"Alright...I'll set the coordinates to 10 minutes after my previous arrival and meet Naegi somehow..." replies Kyoko setting the time into the machine.
"Let us get your contact info so we can keep in contact about other things in the near future...this might help us" replies Chisa smiling happily.
"Alright" replies Kyoko a little bit reluctant for a moment. Once they exchanged contact information from the both of them, she bid them farewell and pushed the button to head back again once more. As she was about to disappear they looked at her with amazement and confident about her story and Kyoko just looked at them with a straight face for a moment realizing that they have others to trust as their allies. Before the bright white light flashed before their eyes she vanished from thin air.
"I don't believe it but now I've seen it to believe everything that detective said...guess we stand a chance to actually save this school" replies Juzo a bit with a smile on his face.
"Wow you're smiling! You haven't done that since we were in high school!" cries Chisa happily.
"Shut up, I can smile whenever I want" replies Juzo a bit irritated but lightly chuckled for a moment after.
"Come on lets go before were seen together from someone else here" replies Juzo.
"Oh um right!" cries Chisa remembering that they were in the men's washroom. They both walk out the door and close the door shut behind them leaving the silence atmosphere to the deep night abyss.

6:25pm
(Men's Washroom Second Floor Old School Building)
As Kyoko arrives she quickly sets her phone time back and places the machine hidden in her jacket this time instead of placing it in the room so that the other version of her later doesn't take it instead of the one that's in the position right now. When she makes it out she notices that no one is here since they were moved to the new building but still there were security guards around and janitors to clean up the place every week. Soon she makes it to the hallway where Naegi was going to come through on the inside and waiting for him to come in.
The time was now 6:47pm and she found that she would have to hide somewhere until 4 minutes pass so that he can send the text message and then approach him.
'This is my only one chance to save him...otherwise it's all over...I got to make sure I find him at the right moment and time to escape...I got to make sure to stay on the left hallway and wait for him to come running down here' thought Kyoko as she runs lightly down the left hallway reaching to the very far end of the 145 foot hallway.
She checks her phone and read that the time is 6:49pm and soon she heard footsteps from afar without looking to see who was coming. As it got louder and louder, she then could hear Junko's voice very faintly.
"HEY YOU! COME BACK HERE! We want to TALK to YOU!" exclaims Junko voice. It was kind of eerie to hear the tone from her distance feeling like it was from some nightmare but then again it wasn't as bad when they almost captured her when she time traveled the first time.
As he turns around the corner, Kyoko sees Naegi looking at his phone typing in a panic and passed right her and she decides to follow behind him quickly.
"There!" cries Naegi sending the message.
"Naegi-kun!" cries Kyoko. Naegi turns around looking shocked and smiles greatly.
"Kyo-" cries Naegi but interrupted.
"There's no time to be talking keep running" replies Kyoko passing him.
"Oh right" replies Naegi following Kyoko.
They sprint another left passing classrooms and lockers and discovered it as a dead end.
'Fuck...is this where Naegi got captured' thought Kyoko seeing a weird vision of Naegi looking at the dead end ahead of her.
They stop for a moment and Kyoko looks around to see no spaces to really hide in, the only thing she could do was probably use the time machine. She quickly takes it out.
"Come on! Were going to use the machine" replies Kyoko setting the time and date to later today at 11:30pm at night.
"But will it fit two people?!" cries Naegi.
"Do you want to get caught? We have to try it anyways" replies Kyoko getting impatient placing the machine down.
"Okay! Got it! Let's go!" cries Naegi confidently. Kyoko then presses the button and the machine begins to work its magic quickly having them disappear as they hear Junko's voice in the distance without seeing her.
"You WON'T GET AWAY NAEGI-KU-!" cries Junko as they then disappeared from thin air with a little flash of white light.
Mukuro was turning the corner a few seconds after the white flash of light disappeared from sight and luckily they got away; otherwise they would of saw them which their cover would been blown and then probably wait for them to reappear.
If the situation came for them to travel far in the future...Kyoko's existence would of been gone completely from the radar until her appearance came back to earth; however that was a completely different possible timeline from all divergences of a possible parallel universe.
Junko was the second to look around the corner but still she didn't see the white flash either but her suspicions were very high. She eyes the locker and checks the classrooms and realized that he disappeared.
"Somethings not right" replies Mukuro.
"Well where is that person?" asks Junko confused.
"It's hard to tell but...it seems like he went this way...I'm sure of it" replies Mukuro.
"Well use your military skills to locate him!" cries Junko frustrated with her older sister.
Mukuro begins to search the floors but couldn't see any skid marks anywhere.
"...I don't what this person's talent is...but it's probably something we got to figure out" replies Junko unaware that they were chasing Naegi.
"There's nothing we can do right now..." replies Mukuro.
"Oh? Well now, well now Mukuro you're being all hopeless but usually you are so it doesn't really matter...that person might of gotten away but" replies Junko with an evil smirk at the end of her sentence.
"It'll be too late before that person can do anything" replies Junko. .
