CHAPTER 2 PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE DESPAIR DEADLY LIFE

Teddiursa was dead. Our friend was dead. Shit!

DING DONG DING DONG

A DEAD BODY HAS BEEN FOUND. AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, THERE'LL BE A CLASS TRIAL

The screen turned off.

Kirlia tapped my shoulder stuttering. "Are we going to have it again…. The class trial?"

I nodded.

"Oh… I'll call the others!" said Kirlia before leaving to call the others.

Damn, Teddiursa was dead. After… suffering so much, someone offed her.

"Teddiursa…." Muttered Snover.

Soon, everyone was at the crime scene.

Squirtle looked at the body in disgust. "Somebody killed somebody!"

"I guess that's the gist of this!" said Treeko.

"Upupupu, so much despair!"

We directed our attention towards the blackboard then Monokuma jumps out.

Monokuma gives us a nasty smile then said. "We cannot start the investigation without this!"

Monokuma hands out tablets to everyone.

I looked at it. It is our second Monokuma File.

Monokuma then wipes off the sweat off his forehead then leaves.

After Monokuma's departure, I then started to read the Monokuma File.

The victim was Teddiursa.

The cause of death was a laceration through her throat

The time of death is Unknown

Additional Info: No available info.

There are no traces of medicine on the victim's body.

I lifted my face from the tablet then began my investigation.

INVESTIGATION START

Kirlia lifts her head from the tablet then began to scratch her head. "The Monokuma File doesn't have any specific data on it!"

"It was also lacking information" said Mareep.

"Let's check other areas!" announced Squirtle before leaving.

Most of us left leaving Phanpy, Kirlia, Mareep and I in the crime scene.

I started my investigation by inspecting the victim's body.

The body doesn't seem to be wet, there were multiple laceration wounds on the body and there was rope tying the victim's limbs to the legs of the table. The desk was bloodless but the victim's blood was still fresh.

"So that's why the body was sitting upright!" explained Kirlia.

Those seem to be the only clues on the body.

I backed away from the body then began to investigate the crime scene.

I started to inspect the art table.

"Aren't there supposed to be scissors here… according to Machop"

FLASHBACK

Machop tapped our shoulders then started to speak. "Can you and Snover accompany Kirlia to the school house?"

"Why?!" asked Snover.

"There are a pair of scissors there which I need to cut the bandages!" replied Machop.

FLASHBACK END

"Was Machop lying?"

I then inspected the pyramid of paint… one of them was missing.

Kirlia then spoke up. "Wasn't there another Monokuma Paint there….?"

I should take note of this.

I then began to leave but Phanpy stops me.

"Can you check the smoke alarm?" offered Phanpy.

Following Phanpy's order, I inspected the smoke alarm, there wasn't any anomalies.

I then noticed something on the floor, ashes.

"That's weird"

"If that smoke alarm activates, the sprinklers would activates" explained Kirlia.

"Since the body was not wet, I think the killer didn't used that!" continued Kirlia.

"Or did he?"

That ends my investigation on the crime scene. I left the schoolhouse then proceeded to the hospital.

At the lobby, Machop and Froakie were also conducting their investigations.

I tapped Machop's shoulder. "Are the injured okay?"

"Only Mareep healed…." Said Machop.

"Can I get the information about the attacks?" I requested.

"I'll try…."

THE ATTACKER HAD THREE VICTIMS.

MAREEP WAS ATTACKED FIRST.

IT SEEMS THAT MAREEP HAD THE SAME WOUNDS AS TEDDIURSA AND EVEN COPIES TEDDIURSA'S CORPSE.

FLAEBEBE WAS ATTACKED SECOND.

FLAEBEBE HAD HER THROAT SLIT AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. HER ARMS WERE TIED TO THE MONKEY BARS USING ROPE.

SNEASEL WAS THE LAST VICTIM

SNEASEL DIDN'T HAVE EXTERNAL INJURIES AND WAS JUST FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN THE ARCADE.

"Is that all?" I asked.

"Yup…. You can ask Froakie of his account!" replied Machop pointing at Froakie.

I thanked Machop then talked to Froakie.

"So Froakie… how's Sneasel?" I asked awkwardly.

"She's still unresponsive but…. I saw the attacker" said Froakie.

"You did!"

"He was very tall and was hidden under a white cloak!" recounted Froakie.

I took note of his account then began to leave.

"It seems that I need to investigate the playground and the arcade…. And the suite where Teddiursa slept in before her demise"

I ran to the playground to investigate.

At the playground was Pancham, Vigoroth and Treeko.

"Why did this happen…. This is all MonoBastard's fault!" muttered Pancham.

I started my investigation.

I then notice something on the ground. A pair of bloody scissors!

I then walked towards the monkey bars. I then noticed a cotton ball stuck to the monkey bars.

"A cotton ball….. This doesn't make any sense!"

I proceeded to the arcade for my next investigation.

At the arcade were Graveler and Squirtle.

"Don't you notice something different Eevee?" asked Graveler pointing at the wall.

I then noticed that the extension cord was gone.

"This is adding more mysteries…. I have to go back to the crime scene to check and the pharmacy to compare cotton balls"

I went to the pharmacy first.

It was strange.

It was messy and on the floor was an empty bottle of sleeping medicine. There was even a bloody tarp stuffed inside the hamper. I noticed that one side was wet. There are also empty bottles of Monokuma paint in the medicine cabinet. I finally noticed a can filled with cotton balls. They look the same as the cotton ball in the playground if not for the color.

That ends my investigation in the pharmacy.

I left the hospital then went to the classroom.

At the classroom, I inspected the body once more then I noticed that this rope contained no plug so….. this is not the extension cord.

I began to take my leave then Snover tapped my shoulder.

"Um…. Monokuma just said that the suite is now unlocked for investigation…"

The suite is now open. I grabbed Snover then we went to the suite to investigate.

The inside was noticeably messy as there are plenty of trash on the floor. There's even blood splatters on the floor.

I then noticed an uneaten breakfast lying on top of the bed.

Snover looked at it with wide eyes. "That's the food I brought it two days ago…. And the room, it used to be tidy since we cleaned it…. That was our surprise"

Tears fell from Snover's eyes, I tried to cheer her up but….

DING DONG DING DONG

"I'M TIRED OF WAITING! PLEASE GO TO THE CLASSROOM FOR OUR SECOND CLASS TRIAL!"

The Class Trial was about to begin and our lives are at stake.

I went to the classroom where the floor descended to the trialground. And Teddiursa is not with us.

DEADLY LIFE END
