Inside Entrance of New Building First Floor
9:02pm
Kyoko kept wiping her face as she couldn't calm down her emotions as she was having a bit of difficult time breathing. As she gets to the dormitory area she notices someone walking her way and turns out it was Byakuya Togami.
"..." Togami notices Kyoko crying as if something very serious happened and as much as he didn't care to listen to most people; it was a rare sight to see her in this state.
"What happened?" asks Togami stopping her.
"...I'm sorry...b-b-ut...I c-can't r-ight NOW!" cries Kyoko pushing him out of the way running past him.
Kyoko keeps running as she dashes out of the long hallway making it to the big open dormitory of the new building and notices another individual by themselves. It turned out to be Aoi Asahina noticing her as she was looking at her cell phone. She looks up and immediately drops a concerned look on her face.
"Kyoko! W-what's wrong?!" cries Aoi grabbing a hold of her shoulders.
"I-I c-couldn't h-help him..." cries Kyoko falling to her knees as Aoi she did the same. She frowned understanding Kyoko's pain but she wanted to do everything she could to calm her down.
"H-hey talk to me, it's okay everything is alright now" replies Aoi looking at Kyoko concerned as there seem to be something terrible on her mind.
"It's not okay! H-he's gone..." replies Kyoko in despair. Aoi remained silent as she didn't understand what she was telling her but decided to hug her deeply.
"No matter how many times he went recklessly on his own to do things, he did it for the sake of helping everyone around him but really he was putting himself out for suicide" replies Kyoko calming down a bit but still crying.
As she cried desperately, Togami makes his way over to them and Aoi looks at him with a stern look.
"When you ran away, I could tell something very serious happened...and only you would react this bad if something wasn't right" replies Togami.
"Are you saying we don't have feelings?! What is wrong with you?!" replies Aoi a bit irritated.
"I'm saying that she is calmer and collected about most situations but if its something tragic that's different" replies Togami.
Togami then stands behind Kyoko as Aoi was still hugging her.
"You saw something you shouldn't have seen am I wrong? Something worse than murder..." replies Togami.
Kyoko then stops crying and just froze as Aoi looks a Kyoko confused.
"..." Kyoko remained silent. She knew if they discover the truth behind their classmate's horrific acts then it will cause a panic for all of them and also creating destruction for Naegi's identity.
"So what happened? We can't help you if you remain silent" replies Togami.
"...I can't tell you...I'm sorry" replies Kyoko getting up and Aoi letting go of her.
"Tck! Suit yourself, that will be the last time I deal with people like you" replies Togami walking away angrily.
Aoi looks at Togami with disgust and anger.
"What a jerk! Will he ever learn to be more sympathetic towards others!?" cries Aoi.
"Thanks for comforting me, Aoi" replies Kyoko as she begins to walk away.
"Wait!" replies Aoi.
"Don't follow me...I need some time alone" replies Kyoko, Aoi stopped in her tracks having her hand out and sad that she couldn't do anything more to help her.
Kyoko goes into her dorm and makes a phone call.
Security Office
9:32 pm
Juzo was writing out a file for the duties that the staff all did today when he was receiving a phone call from Kyoko. He picks it up and listens to the other line.
"The tragedy has just happened and Naegi is gone" replies Kyoko.
"W-wait WHAT?! Tell me everything that happened!" shouts Juzo furiously.
Kyoko mentions about Naegi being shot then disappearing with the time machine that went haywire and about Junko and Mukuro hosted the Mutual Killing in the Old Building.
"We got to get our men out there! We could put these two behind bars if we go catch them in the act!" replies Juzo slamming his fist on the desk.
"No! It's too late, by the time you get there they will already have it cleaned out, these two individuals are very quick and smart...we have to find another option" replies Kyoko feeling defeated.
"Oh yeah!? And what would you suggest that we do? Just sit and watch them idle with their thumbs and laugh at us in the background...you got to be joking me detective!" shouts Juzo.
"I'm sorry but that's all we can do for now. Just thought you should know" replies Kyoko hanging up the phone on him.
"Hello? Hello?" Juzo looks hangs up the phone a bit furious but then quickly makes a call to Yukizome. After a couple of rings, she picks up.
"Listen, you aren't going to like this but that event the future boy predicted as just happened" replies Juzo placing his hand on his face and rubbing his forehead.
Old Building, Hope's Peak Academy 5 F
10:30 pm
Mukuro cleans up the last of everyone that died in the tragedy while they let the two survivors go earlier and she could hear Junko in the background laughing.
"This will be it for the footage...just enough to brainwash others into our despair group" replies Junko satisfied.
"Don't you find it odd that Makoto and Kyoko were here?" asks Mukuro
"Yeah, but Makoto vanished! So that's over and Kyoko will deal with her tomorrow" replies Junko.
"...Sure Junko" replies Mukuro.
"Hurry up and clean the rest of this shit hole while I go see Ryota!" smiles Junko as she hops away out of the room.
Mukuro sighs and begins talking to herself.
"Makoto...just who were you at that moment? You definitely are not the Makoto I know" replies Mukuro frowning. She couldn't get the look of him wanting to survive and anger towards her. It etched her mind as she continued to clean the despairing tragedy in front of her.
Towa City, Machine Factory
Monday, January 31st 2011.
7:45 am
"Everything looks great! We're ready to start the process!" shouts Monaca to the other workers in the building.
She knew that lying to Tokuichi Towa her father was the only way that she would be able to make this a success for helping her best friend Junko Enoshima. She smiles evilly as she would get revenge for the way she was treated from the family growing up.
'Soon this world will be doomed...I can't wait for it, big sis!' thought Monaca Towa in despair.
Unknown Timeline
Old School Building F 5
Naegi was beginning to bleed out as he looks around to see that the building felt gloomy and from his right, he could see that the room was worse than when he first saw it in the mutual killing game.
"I got to move from this spot" replies Naegi getting up slowly.
He walks slowly down the hall to reach the stairs and as he makes his way down the stairs many times he finally gets to the first floor reaching the big vault to see that it was already opened. He then heads out the front entrance as he begins to look outside...he sees the same disaster as before.
"Fuck..." replies Naegi wobbling as holds pressure on his wounds.
"What timeline did I end up in?" asks Naegi to himself noticing that the mutual killing game already seem to happen and that the door was already opened.
As he walks down the long hallway entrance to reach to the broken down gates, he makes it to the streets and realizes that the buildings were more destroyed than when he recalled the last time he was here with his friends.
"This is not good" replies Naegi beginning to lose his balance a bit.
As he walks to the left going down the block, he makes it to the street lights to cross and looks around him.
"I don't know how much further I'm going to be able to go" replies Naegi in despair.
He then walks across the street and hears shouting in the distance.
"Hurry! Those bastards aren't going to stop if we don't do something!" cries a women's voice.
"Y-yeah just shut up!" cries another female voice.
"Good there are people in the distance...I got to get to them" replies Naegi feeling he is losing consciousness.
He couldn't see them, but as he got closer to the next block he noticed a robotic bear approaching him.
"TERMINATE ALL HOSTILE HUMANS!" replies the robotic bear.
"Shit!" replies Naegi, as the bear jumps for him; he hears a laser shot.
He opens his eyes and notices the bear was destroyed right in front of him.
"M-m-m..." replies a voice near him and as he turns around he tries to see who it is but everything was blurry for him at this point from losing so much blood.
"Huh...I made it" replies Makoto collapsing as his eyes shut while the figure runs towards him.
"MAKOTO!" cries the women in despair.
Unknown Time
Unknown Location
Naegi begins to open his eyes as he looks around to be in some sort of facility. He notices that his scars were bandaged up and that he was hooked to a blood transfusion but he didn't decide to move from his position.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" replies Naegi weakly.
No one appeared and Naegi tried again.
"Anybody?" asks Naegi.
A few minutes pass and Naegi passes out again.
...
...
...
"Naegi?" he hears a voice faintly.
"Kyoko is that you?" asks Naegi.
He wakes up with his eyes wide open and gets up from where he was laying. He notices that someone was looking at him in disbelief when he realized this woman appeared to be older than him slightly.
"Makoto! Oh, thank gosh! I thought you were never going to wake up" replies Komaru, Naegi's younger sister.
"Komaru?! I have so many questions...you look older" replies Naegi squinting his eyes to see clearly.
She walks over and hugs him tightly.
"OW!" cries Naegi, Komaru then got startled by backing away quickly from him.
"Sorry! Your wounds haven't healed up quickly yet but you've been out for a week" replies Komaru.
Naegi noticed that he wasn't hooked up to the blood transfusion anymore, so it must have been a while since then.
"Did you give me your blood?" asks Naegi.
Komaru nods.
"Turns out we have the same blood type" she replies happily.
"Where are we?" asks Naegi.
"Were in the Towa Hospital and it surprised me and Toko to see you! It was like a seen a ghost...and just to get you here on time was a miracle in itself...I thought I was going to lose you again but we called on Aoi here too to help out! They're both are out but are going to come back soon" replies Komaru.
"What do you mean lose me again?" asks Naegi confused.
"Oh-uh...well...are you sure you want to know that?" asks Komaru giving him a concerned look on her face.
"I need to know...please" replies Naegi. She looks away from him and sighs.
"Alright...so what happened is that you were killed in the mutual killing game that was broadcast on T.V." replies Komaru.
"B-but that's impossible! I survived it!" cried Naegi.
"Huh? I don't understand, actually I don't understand how you're even here, to be honest...I thought I would never see you again..." replies Komaru confused and suspicious slightly.
"Where's Kyoko?! Did you happen to see her?" asks Naegi.
"..." Komaru begins to cry.
"Huh? Sis please don't cry I-" replies Naegi.
"She was framed and killed!" cries Komaru.
Naegi froze in shock by what she just said and then grabbed her sister in disbelief.
"How is that possible? What did Junko do?" asks Naegi.
"I'm sorry about your friend and what happened-" replies Komaru and then the doors from behind her opened.
Aoi and Toko made their way in and look at Naegi. He could tell they aged a bit too.
"You're awake...I can't believe it you're alive too!" cries Aoi as she runs over to hug him.
"It can't be true...why would Kyoko be framed and then killed?" asks Naegi confused.
"Junko planted a lie about what you did to her father" replied Toko.
"...What do you mean?" replies Naegi.
"Me, Aoi, and Togami were the only survivors of the killing game and you were the last victim to be killed before it was all over...basically Junko devised a lie from the beginning about that someone killed the principle in the school and that they had to play this sick game...from there she falsified information leading to you by planting the remains in your room for Kyoko to find them and once she did...s-she was framed that she killed you in your sleep...however it was Junko that murdered you" replies Toko.
"...What the fuck...I don't believe it" replies Naegi ignoring this information.
"Listen, we only survived because of what you said to all of us before the day you died" replied Aoi.
(Flashback)
"This is hopeless, we might as well quit" replies Aoi in despair from after the fourth trial of 3 victims dead such as Celes, Hakakure and Chihiro.
"We did not come this far to lose, even if anyone else dies and no matter what platitudes that Monokuma or whoever is behind that machine says to us...we will not back down...we must all try to survive until the very end...don't quit now when we are so close of discovering the truth!" replies Naegi.
(Flashback ends)
"I was the one that didn't give up hope and helped us get to the end of that nightmare! But by the time we could see the truth about Kyoko...it was too late... they forced her to be executed without our consent to vote" replies Aoi.
"...That son of a bitch! She is going to pay! I got to get back to that time" cries Naegi angrily.
"What are you saying? T-t-that's crazy talk" replies Toko.
"...Then is it crazy that I'm alive when I was murdered?" asks Naegi questioning her reasoning.
"Y-you got a point" replies Toko.
"So what happened to you?" asks Komaru.
Naegi explains everything, the time machine, his version of the mutual killing game, then him being in the past trying to prevent the Tragedy at Hope's Peak Academy and how he got injured.
"I believe I left the time machine on the fifth floor, but I can't remember exactly because my memory is a bit fuzzy when I arrived here" replies Naegi a bit irritated.
"Okay will go there, but you stay and rest alright?!" replies Aoi.
"Sure, I just don't know how I survived an hour to get here... I lost a lot of blood didn't I? asks Naegi curiously.
"Komaru will explain that to you, we're heading out! See you in a bit!" replies Aoi as she and Toko leave.
"Well, I use a vehicle now! So that is how I got you here a lot quicker" replies Komaru smiling gleefully.
"How old are you anyway, where's mom and dad...and what timeline are we in?" asks Naegi confused.
"It's October 23rd, 2015. It's been about a few years since the mutual killing happened at your school...I don't know where they are actually...they disappeared since I got separated from them...but now I'm 21 little brother" replies Komaru looking down at the ground.
"Great...was hoping they would be here... but that will change. Now that you mention it, I suppose I'm still only 19 so I guess its the other way around now" replies Naegi lightly chuckling to try and cheer her up. They talked by catching up and after a couple hours, they returned with the time machine in pieces.
"We managed to find it on the fifth floor of the old building that you mentioned...but it was close to that horrific classroom" replies Aoi feeling uneasy about that memory.
"Dammit!...how bad of shape is it in?" asks Naegi feeling down knowing that it would be in a bad state from it being shot by Mukuro.
" From the looks of it...it's in pretty bad shape" replies Aoi feeling down.
"I'm surprised that there really is a device like this" replies Komaru feeling slightly hopeful.
"Yeah...I just wish we knew how to fix it" replies Naegi feeling a bit discouraged.
"I'm s-sure it isn't impossible, right? There must be some blueprints how to fix this right?" asks Toko curiously.
"I can probably be of assistance" replies a mysterious voice. They turn to look at the person that came into the room. They had no idea who in the world this person was before them but the person was tall standing at 6'2" and wore a lab coat. He appeared to be in his mid 60's and had grey puffy hair all around him like an afro and wore black shade sunglasses.
"My name is Takashi Mitarai, you may know my grandson Ryota Mitarai...I remember when Hope's Peak Academy started many years ago...until it went into chaos..." replies Takashi.
"Wait! Are you the ultimate animator's grandfather?! Did you create the time machine?" asks Naegi in shock.
"Yes...I created it a long time ago...I made it in the physics lab when I was fairly young...probably about over 50 years ago now...that was when Hope's Peak was just beginning to bloom too...to be honest I'm glad you are still alive...but this moment was meant to happen and I was waiting for it" replies Takashi.
They look at him a bit furious by the fact he didn't try to come sooner and it left them with many questions.
"Why didn't you help to stop Junko within all that time?! Couldn't you of prevented it?!" cries Aoi a bit irritated with him.
"It wasn't my destiny to do that...I was approached from you Mr. Naegi...well quite a lot older version of you...and you told me that you found the answer to prevent the Tragedy and that my invention was to help save the school of Hope's Peak Academy...I must say you were quite in a hurry when you told me" replies Takashi.
"Wait what? I don't understand where you're coming from..." replies Komaru confused.
"When did I come to you, Mr Takashi?" asks Naegi a bit confused himself.
"Call me Dr Takashi...Actually, it was about around the time I was in my home about 3 years ago. I think it was, July of 2012 that you came to tell me " replies Takashi
"Wait it was during the mutual killing game being broadcast live?! asks Naegi shocked.
"I'm afraid so...so I knew who you were and could tell that you used my invention...somewhere deep within my heart I knew giving it to you was the right thing" replies Takashi.
"Okay s-s-so basically an older version of Naegi came to you, but how does that explain you weren't captured by the monokuma's?!" shouts Toko in disbelief pointing her finger at him.
"That's because I remained in a hidden location underground...I can't say much more but...I will tell you Naegi when this machine is fixed..." replies Takashi.
Naegi still had many questions as to how this was even possible because he and Kyoko were trying to figure out who created it all this time. He ponders in thought for a moment.
'It seems it was a big mystery that not even Hope's Peak had a clue about it at all. Still...It doesn't explain how he made it at Hope's Peak years ago since how could no one know about it? But its true...this very stoic senile scientist made it and from talking to him I believe we can trust him...I ask anything I need to know later...' thought Naegi.
"Okay then let's get started" replies Naegi nodding his head.
(1 Year Later...)
(Secret Laboratory, Towa City)
Naegi knocks on the door as he was wearing a black suit with a tie and shade sunglasses as well. Once he enters the room he sees Takashi working on the device still as it was taking a very long time to fix but Naegi understood that the time machine was in real critical condition and it would have taken twice as long if they had to figure it out themselves.
"Did you find the Caesium piece I was looking for?" asks Takashi.
"Yes Dr Takashi, it wasn't easy to come by but I hope that will be useful" replies Naegi handing it to him.
In the last year, they have been scavaging parts and trying to survive at the same time with eating, being hydrated and to stay hygienic. If they were not in a post-apocalyptic world, then their circumstances would be a lot quicker with the process of completing it.
"I should have this done in another half a year by the way we are making progress, I'm about three-quarters of it done...I'm very grateful for all of you being this patient" replies Takashi
"Of course, once this is done...I'm going to make sure that I don't lose...I just wish...that I could get my memories back...it would be nice to remember my days at Hope's Peak" replies Naegi clenching his fist.
"I understand how that would feel...it still hurts my soul that one of your classmates planned all of this out...but do you have a plan to strike back?" asks Takashi.
"Well, I have a plan about how this will go but...I got to be very cautious about how I go about doing it" replies Naegi truthfully.
"That's understandable but...remember what I told you" replies Takashi.
"Yes, to be cool, calm and collective" replies Naegi.
"Good that will get you far...don't forget that during the difficult moments" replies Takashi.
"I'm going to head back to see my sister and my friends, I'll come back later" replies Naegi.
"Okay, make sure to ask them if they got a small bolt...missing a screw to keep the motherboard in place" replies Takashi using a small rachet to tighten another bolt.
"Will do!" replies Naegi shutting the door.
(9 Months Later...)
"It's done! Eureka!" replies Takashi happily.
Everyone was in the room of laboratory as he shouted with glee. Everyone was enjoying themselves playing board games to pass the time on another table that he had in the lab. They all got up and briskly walked over to him.
Aoi, Toko, Komaru and Naegi watch as he lifts the machine in the air and streams tears down his eyes.
"I want to thank all of you for waiting...it took longer for me to make this but after almost 2 years of knowing one another, I think we can say that its time to test it out...Komaru and Naegi I'm going to get you to travel one minute into the future" replies Takashi.
They go over to where Takashi had the machine and gave it to them.
"Well Big bro, are you ready for this?" asks Komaru looking up at him.
"I'm still little when you think about the time difference" replies Naegi lightly chuckling.
As they flick the switch, they look at everyone and smile.
"Here it goes!" they reply pressing the big orange button.
The light began to flicker and static went everywhere and before they knew it... they vanished.
"Yes! It's a success!" cries Aoi
"Hold on, w-we got to wait until they return" replies Toko
"In about 30 seconds they should be back" replies Takashi holding out his wristwatch.
"When they come back...then this really means Naegi will go back to save everyone!" cries Aoi
"Y-yeah, it just has to be h-him" replies Toko a bit disgusted.
Then the light flickers back into reality and Komaru and Naegi came back safely.
"It worked!" cried Naegi and Komaru at the same time.
"Good...now Naegi tomorrow will be the day you will return to the past...will meet at the school entrance of Hope's Peak at 10am..." replies Takashi. They all decide to head to sleep in the next room of the secret laboratory where the spare bedrooms were but before Naegi could leave he was called over.
"It's time to tell you about the location" replies Takashi
"My location is in a city about 3 hours from Hope's Peak Academy out in the desert of Toka city...I'm sure you will find a way to reach me...that is where you must get that time machine from me...whenever you know the time is right" replies Takashi.
"If this goes well planned than I won't need to come to see you won't I?" replies Naegi a bit unsure.
"Who do you think put the time machine in the physics lab that day when you first went to the past?" asks Takashi slightly smiling.
"Wait? Are you saying that was me?!" gasps Naegi shocked. Takashi nods his head and gives him a stern look.
"Now don't think you misunderstood your mission but if you don't come see me...then this will be all for nothing" replies Takashi.
"Dr Takashi I promise you I will make sure to visit you!" replies Naegi confidently.
"Good, I'll see you tomorrow, get some rest while you can...you'll need it" replies Takashi.
Naegi walks away thinking about all the times he had discussions with Dr Takashi, in a way he thought of him as a good mentor about life and it matured him a bit more over time. He really enjoyed the company being with his friends and family throughout this time even though they had to fight monobears to get the parts that they needed. He will soon get to see Kyoko again, he missed her so much that he couldn't stop thinking about her after all this time since he last saw her in that horrific event. Once he gets back, he needs to find her and speak to her directly. Then again, will that be the right thing to do. As Naegi reaches outside the lab and into the hallway he sees his sister and smiles.
"Are you ready for the big day tomorrow?" asks Komaru a bit excited for him.
"I'm not sure how I'm going to pull it off, it has been a long time since I've been there" replies Naegi slightly worried.
"You may be a lot taller now and matured but I'm sure if you tell your situation to the right people...this can all be prevented" replies Komaru smiling up at him.
"You're right...I'm going to end this once and for all...I'm in control...and I will bring hope for everyone" replies Naegi smiling.
Hope's Peak Academy Entrance Inside Main Gates

10:02am
"Alright everything is ready...are you ready to put a stop to those twisted sisters?" asks Takashi.
"I'm ready" replies Naegi.
"One thing...when you see my grandson, don't mention anything about the time machine...no one even knows about it except you guys" replies Takashi seriously grinning.
'His grandson didn't even know about it? Makes sense if Hope's Peak didn't know about it...then again Kyoko, Juzo and Yukizome know about it too' thought Naegi.
"Alright I'm going to set the date to Monday, January 3rd 2011, at 7am since you must not encounter your other self during those other moments...it may be too late to save the poor council members that day...but that doesn't mean you can still bring her to justice and find out how to prevent those robotic bears from terrorizing the planet" replies Takashi seriously.
"Yeah you're right, I know who to go to" replies Naegi confidently.
"Well, I'll say no more! I'll let you be on your way then" replies Takashi
"Naegi! Best of luck! I'll see you again real soon!" cries Komaru waving her hands.
"Bye Naegi! You got this! I believe in you!" cries Aoi.
"Tell T-togami that I love him!" shouts Toko.
"Bye everyone! You can count on me!" shouts Naegi with full of pride. He pushes the Orange button and then vanishes almost 7 years into the past. They all see him disappear and Komaru lightly cries.
"I'll see you soon" replies Komaru hoping the best for him.
Saturday, January 1st 2011.
7:00 am
Inside School Gates of Hope's Peak Academy
Naegi lands noticing everything was back to normal and everything looked more peaceful. However, he knew that it would change if he didn't find a solution to bring Junko into justice.
'Sorry old man for changing the date a couple days back...December 31st was when I disappeared' thought Naegi. However, he didn't think too much of it knowing very well that he wouldn't know but he felt bad for doing it anyway but this little white lie was acceptable.
"Alright let's not waste some time and head to see Yasuke Matsuda" replies Naegi being very calm about his decision.
'I want to see Kyoko but...I should wait until I get my evidence to bring Junko down first' thought Naegi.
He makes his way into the school and heads for the west building and enters Matsuda's Office. He saw that Matsuda was writing in a book and looks down at him to get his attention.
"Matsuda?" replies Naegi.
"Yes, how can I help you?" asks Matsuda. Naegi takes off his black shades and reveals himself. Matsuda opens his eyes wide and slightly shakes his head in bewilderment.
"This isn't real, you are in my head" replies Matsuda.
"Calm down, I'm Naegi" replies Naegi.
"You can't be, your way taller than the Naegi I know!" replies Yasuke Matsuda looking up and down at him holding the back of his chair.
"Listen, if you give me 5 minutes I can explain everything to you" replies Naegi calmly.
"Look I don't have much time I got a friend who's coming to visit me" replies Matsuda.
"Then 5 minutes will be all I'll need" replies Naegi reassuring him.
Naegi sits in another chair across from him and begins telling him what just happened at Hope's Peak Academy last night and explain that he is from the future. Matsuda just listened without interrupting him because he was still shocked by his appearance. Then he proposes a question for Matsuda saying,
"Would you be able to record captured memories from one's consciousness?" asks Naegi very seriously.
"I-I never tried that before but it could be really dangerous for the patient that goes through with it...why are you asking me this?" replies Matsuda a bit alarmed.
"Because I have the evidence to put someone in jail for a very long time..." replies Naegi sternly.
"Who?" asks Matsuda. Naegi felt he shouldn't tell him just yet.
"I won't say just now, but I promise you will know if you help me out" replies Naegi.
"I don't know" replies Matsuda flatly.
"Do you know that if you don't help me this entire world is going to be destroyed...and there will be many people killed...a world war is coming and its already begun" replies Naegi.
"You mean the tragedy that happened here starts it?" asks Matsuda.
Naegi nods and Matsuda sighs.
"I can only think of one individual that could possibly come up with that type of plan...but I think its best that I pretended I didn't know...look you should go" replies Matsuda.
Naegi looks him dead in the eye and frowns.
"I really thought I could count on you...I'll let you think about it...please don't go tell your friend, I'm sure it will not be good if anyone else knew" replies Naegi knowing very well they both know the mastermind without saying her name.
"W-wait!" replies Matsuda as Naegi almost reached for the door.
"Okay! I'll help you, but the only problem is, I will need some kind of device from someone that can build an analytical machine that can project your memories onto a screen...do you know anyone that can help?" asks Matsuda.
"As a matter of fact I do...give me two days and I'll get you that person for the job" replies Naegi like a mature adult.
"O-okay, come here at 10am in two days...I'll see you then" replies Matsuda.
Naegi opens the door and before he shuts the door on his way out he says,
"Thanks Matsuda...you really are going to save a lot of lives" replies Naegi truthfully and expressed gratitude towards his way.
"Sure..." replies Matsuda as the door already shutted.
Naegi checks his phone that he has in his pocket and had only 5% battery to make one phone call and he decided to call Juzo.
"Hello? Naegi? IS THAT YOU?!" shouts Juzo a bit upset.
"Yeah it's me, been a while Juzo" replies Naegi.
"Y-your voice sounds a bit deeper and wait you were gone only yesterday! Kyoko called and told me the news late last night that you disappeared! I'll let her know that you're alive!" cries Juzo.
"No don't, not yet at least...I just want to prepare a few things before she sees me...I need to keep this low profile" replies Naegi
"What do you mean? Explain it to me?" replies Juzo a bit irritated.
"Can you meet me at the school entrance gates in about 20 minutes?" asks Naegi.
"Sure I'll see you then and don't keep me waiting!" replies Juzo hanging up the phone. Naegi places it back in his pocket and sighs as he puts his shades on. As he walks he notices that Junko was in the far distance but she didn't notice him yet.
'Hmmm...I'm not going to overreact as I use to...I'll go to the closest door near me...doesn't matter where it leads' thought Naegi.
Naegi opens the door and it leads him into the female washroom.
'Okay this looks like a washroom, but it looks...pink...fuck' thought Naegi wanting to leave and then all of a sudden a person comes out. To his surprise, it was Chihiro Fujisaki and surprisingly he didn't shout.
"Y-you're that guy I met yesterday" replies Chihiro.
'Well, this is kind of lucky...just who I wanted to see too but the guy he met yesterday?' thought Naegi.
"Yesterday?" asks Naegi curiously.
"Yeah you were the one to tell me to wait in the foyer for the younger version of you to give the time machine to him and then mention about the time of the tragedy and about Mukuro being on high alert" replies Chihiro.
"O-okay I see...listen Chihiro this will be the biggest favour I will need from you" replies Naegi walking over to a really small person. He was surprised that she was quite small now compared when he remembered only being 5 inches taller than him.
"Sure tell me what you need" replies Chihiro happily.
"I need you to create a device that can record memories on a person so that it can project it to a screen...do you think you can do that?" asks Naegi.
"Well I wouldn't have all the materials and we probably need a neurologist help us-" replies Chihiro.
"No need to worry, we got one" replies Naegi confidently.
"Wow really?! Who?" asks Chihiro trying to think who was in that department.
"Yusuke Matsuda" replies Naegi.
"Ahhh I think I heard that name...then this should work" replies Chihiro
"Perfect then will begin the plans in two days...meet at his office for 10 am on the 3rd...I got somewhere else I need to be" replies Naegi feeling a bit awkward in here.
"I assume you were hiding from Junko?" asks Chihiro.
"Yeah, but I think she passed us by now...I'll see you in two days" replies Naegi making his exit
"O-okay" replies Chihiro.
8:05am
Front Entrance
"Uh? Are you really Naegi?" asks Juzo a bit shocked.
"Yeah I'm here sorry I'm five minutes late" replied Naegi. Now that Naegi thought about it he was probably the same age as him now. Naegi was a little bit shorter than Juzo but not by much.
"Well explain to me what's going on" replies Juzo.
Naegi explains that he failed the tragedy and that it took him almost two years to get back to this timeline with the help of his friends and family. However, he left out about telling him who created the time machine just because he was told not to tell anyone and that it was not relevant to mention at all.
"I have got a plan, this plan is going to be really good but we got to still find a way to shut down the factory of the monokuma robots...all we know is they start producing in Towa City from what we discovered...its just matter of when" replied Naegi.
"There must be someone who could go to the manufacturer to stop them from going forward but...is the whole organization agreeing with it?" asks Juzo pondering out load placing his hand to his chin.
"That's something will have to figure out by investigating...I'll be the one to go visit there but I think I'll need you to come with me" replies Naegi confidently.
"I suppose this shouldn't be a problem...since its the holidays" replies Juzo.
"Okay let us head out today the sooner we find out, the better" replies Naegi.
Juzo sighs and lightly nods.
"You got that right" replies Juzo smiling.
Towa City Near the Manufacturer Building
11:07pm
Naegi and Juzo got off the bus about 30 minutes ago while they waited about 20 minutes for the bus stop earlier from a couple blocks of the school. They went to quickly get some lunch and now are making their way to the factory.
"You know when Kyoko sees you she will be surprised to see you" replies Juzo pointing out his height and appearance.
"Well, of course, its been a long time since I've seen her..." replies Naegi
"But to her, it will only feel like a day" replies Juzo lightly chuckling of the fact time travel is a bit confusing at times.
"Well that will definitely be a bit awkward but aside from that...it will be good to see her, I missed her deeply" replied Naegi. Juzo didn't like Naegi too much when he first met him but as he spent time with him he began to grow on him.
"You sure like her a lot don't you?" asks Juzo smiling knowing the answer.
"W-well she's worried sick and I don't want to keep playing hide and go seek with her...I'm not 12 anymore" replies Naegi blushing quite a lot.
Juzo chuckles as they soon reach their destination standing in front of the big building.
"Alright this is the place" replies Naegi.
"Before we go in, just promise me you won't cause suspicion for us and take off those shades...they look like your from secret service" replies Juzo irritated with him slightly.
"Don't worry, we're just going to go in there and ask to speak to the boss...and seriously" replies Naegi a bit surprised.
"Yeah really...and okay but I'm not sure if it will be that easy" replies Juzo giving him a straight remark.
They walk their way inside Towa's Factory while Naegi took off his shades and they reach the front lobby. As they get to the front of the secretary, they both look at her seriously.
"Excuse me miss? Who is the boss that runs this factory?" asks Naegi.
She looks at the two tall young adult figures and replies a bit nervous.
"W-well his name is Tokuichi Towa and he is very busy" replies the secretary slightly shaking from Juzo's intimidating appearance.
"Sorry Miss?" asks Juzo for her name.
"It's Suzuki" replies Suzuki.
Miss Suzuki, we just would like to speak to someone from the family about a business idea" replies Juzo.
"O-oh well, one second" replies Suzuki picking up the phone dialling a number and it rings until someone picks up. Juzo looks over at Naegi and smirks while he looks away to see the secretary talking.
"Yes, Haiji can you come down here for a minute, thank-you" replies Suzuki.
"The son of Towa is going to see you shortly, please wait on one of the chairs over there" replies Suzuki placing her hand out gesturing for them to sit over there.
"Thank-you" replies Naegi. As they walk over to the comfy white leather couch and sit down.
"Told you taking the shades off worked" replied Juzo.
"Y-yeah well at least we're going to talk to someone" replies Naegi.
A person goes to the secretary shortly after who looked to be about 20-21 years old and once she pointed to us we stood up walking over to him.
"So what type of business do you have with us here? As you are aware my father is busy and doesn't have time" replies Haiji.
"We like to ask you about these robots that you are producing...is it true that you are making them?" asks Juzo.
"H-how did you know that? It hasn't even been produced yet! The media can't know about this until next month! You can't tell anyone else but how will you keep that as a promise-" cries Haiji panicking.
"Calm down. We are here just for more answers" replies Naegi.
"Like what? Seriously I can't tell you much more than you already know-" replies Haiji a bit irritated with them.
"Then there's something you should know before you turn us away" replies Juzo. Haiji stares at him in silence and looks at Naegi.
"Are these robotic machines evil?" asks Naegi.
"What?" asks Haiji confused.
"Yeah, we want to know if you know what really is going on" replies Juzo.
"I don't know why you would ask that? But no were told they are going to be domestic helpers and emergency aid workers for the community in the near future" replies Haiji.
"I'm sorry to tell you the truth, but those machines are going to kill millions of people if you don't stop the production" replies Naegi.
"What is this? Are you blackmailing me?" asks Haiji just about to call security.
"No of course not! We just want to know who told you that lie!" cries Naegi.
"I don't believe you man...why would you be saying this shit?! I was told briefly you came here for an idea but not for some lame cheap falsification of a sales pitch to get us out of business...so get lost...SECURITY!" shouts Haiji.
"Fuck!" shouts Juzo as they both begin running away.
The security officers see them run out the door and Haiji shouts in the distance.
"Don't let them escape! I want them back here in custody for trying to assault me!" cries Haiji.
As they run as fast as they could they saw a cat running beside them.
"Huh? A cat?" replies Naegi
"MEEOOW!" cries the cat looking behind them as they see the guards gaining them.
"We got to lose them! I can't assault them...it will jeopardise my position at the school and I don't think it would be wise if you fought them either" replies Juzo.
"Y-yeah, unless if I use the machine!" shouts Naegi.
"We can't use that in front of them...it will be on the news if we tried to do that!" replies Juzo a bit furious.
'He's right there must be some other way to get out of this situation' thought Naegi.
He sees the cat meow at him again and sees him run into an alleyway and it turns to call them over.
"Hurry into the alleyway! Follow that cat!" cries Naegi.
"I better hope this is your ultimate luck right now" shouts Juzo.
As they run down the alleyway they turn a couple corners as they soon reach another block. They see a bus stop and see a bus making its way.
"Let's hop on that bus!" shouts Naegi.
They quickly hop on it and relax as it was the right one that would lead them to the school.
As they both were slightly out of breath they sit down in some seats on the back of the city bus. They notice as they drive away they see the security guards looking back and forth trying to find them and to no luck, they gave up.
"Well that really was close...another second we would have been on a wild goose chase" replied Juzo
"Yeah but now we at least know that they are producing the Monokuma's soon" replies Naegi.
"It's just a matter of finding out the culprit for lying to the company...because it couldn't be Junko she's just a high schooler after all...she's too young to run a factory" replies Juzo.
"But with the money she makes its possible" replies Naegi stating a fact.
"I suppose that's true with the talent she possesses but still I get the feeling there's someone else in that facility pulling the strings" replied Juzo.
"We still got time to figure it out but we somehow got to get them on our side" replies Naegi a bit frustrated.
"I cannot think of a way to persuade them unless we find someone else we can trust about this information that has experience with businessman without trying to tell them the full truth...but it will be difficult to find someone who can match a company with that type of power" replies Juzo.
"I'm not sure who we could go to honestly, is there an ultimate businessman at Hope's Peak?" asks Naegi.
"It's possible but I'm not sure since we're limited from class 76-78 at the school right now" replies Juzo.
"Okay well its a start...at least this is where hope lies for now" replies Naegi hypothetically.
The two remain silent as they make their way back to Hope's Peak Academy to come up with their new plan to prevent the catastrophe of the Monokuma's but it's going to take some time before they can build a case, but Naegi is positive that his plans won't fail in the near future. Because he will not give up until he's either dead or that Junko is put into a nut house and under confinement for a very long time. Hopefully, the second option is the case.
