Chapter 8
Downstairs
Mondo was glaring at the ceiling of his room, "Hey Monokuma! What the hell is going on up there! Are you having some party or something!?" he yelled angrily. "I'm trying to get some sleep and I can't get any with all that noise." he muttered.
Everyone else looked up wondering if Monokuma was trying some sort of sleep deprivation technique. If seeing those films earlier in the day did very little to damage their psyche. Then maybe a few days without sleep would do the trick. That's at least what most of the class was thinking as they heard all of that noise.
"Seriously, what could all that noise be?" Mondo asked as he was ready to climbing through the ceiling by this point.
Upstairs
"Naegi, she's not giving up!" Sayaka yelled.
"I can tell!" Naegi said as he kept running around the halls. "But seriously, what is this? Some sort of horror movie?" he asked.
Sayaka whimpered, "Well, she does look like something out of a horror movie. Junko's personality made a complete 180." she said as "Junko" was less talkative and less emotional.
"Just tell me how close she is. I'm going to try to find another way out." Naegi said as he managed to pick up some speed.
Making a sharp turn, Naegi made his way down another corridor. Though with his sense of fear and panic, he wasn't sure where he was by this point. Not caring where he was, Naegi just continued to run as if a miracle were about to occur where he would escape.
"Duck!" Sayaka screamed.
Naegi followed his classmate's instruction as he avoided a clawed hand that ripped off a few hairs off of his head. When out of nowhere, a door he passed for no more than a second had opened up. Immediately smashing into Mukuro, who merely shrugged it off by smashing it to pieces. With this process repeating every time Naegi and Sayaka had passed by a classroom. It didn't help much that the upper class doors were made of metal as Mukuro shook off the impact.
"We have had to pass at least 10 classrooms. Does she look tired at the very least?" Naegi asked with some hope.
Sayaka sweat dropped, "I think slightly inconvenienced would describe her better." she said as Mukuro didn't look angry or annoyed.
Naegi started to slow down, "I can't run anymore. This hurts." he said as his body felt like it was on fire.
"No don't! She's coming closer!" Sayaka pleaded as Mukuro came was about to catch them.
That's when the floorboards suddenly opened up under Mukuro. The Ultimate Soldier found herself being tripped by the sudden appearance of automatic cleaning equipment coming out. For some reason the machines had the same color scheme as Monokuma including a scary red light. Each machine sprang forward towards Mukuro which didn't last long. As Mukuro slashed at the machines that suddenly chose to betray her. Long enough for the pair to escape into one of the two hallways.
When two Monokuma's appeared.
"That way you stupid blind idiot!" one Monokuma pointed.
"Why are you listening to that one? Are you blind and deaf?" the second Monokuma asked.
Mukuro was confused as the Monokuma's were not that stupid. Even so, her sister controlled them and would react to whatever commands she gives them. Which didn't help that Junko is a toxic leader that enforced her commands through hostile means. In other words, Mukuro is a slave that craves attention and wasn't sure which one was her master.
"This way! This way!" Monokuma on the left yelled.
"Why do I even bother with you?" Monokuma on the right asked.
"Shut up you useless robot!" Left Monokuma screamed.
"Make me you rusty bucket of bolts." Right Monokuma countered.
Left Monokuma turned red from anger, "If my technology didn't run like shit. I would blast your head off already!" he yelled.
Right Monokuma merely stomped around like an angry child while Mukuro looked between them. Feeling anxious about failing her sister as her targets were likely escaping. When suddenly, the Monokuma on the right sighed.
"Mukuro, I know I've been the worst sister in the world. Maybe I'm too rough, maybe I did bad gaslighting you, maybe all you need is love and encouragement instead of being ridiculed." he said softly before touching Mukuro's leg. "So please, trust your big sister and not this impostor. I'll even set you up with a cute mind slave of your own." Monokuma said.
Mukuro stared at Monokuma in silence.
"I'll give you a hug too." Monokuma said.
"I'm going to throw up." Monokuma on the left said.
Mukuro picked up the Monokuma who gave her affectionate words. Then proceeded to squeeze it's head until it exploded. Where she looked at the the other Monokuma who shook it's head.
"You moron! You spent all that time listening to that speech instead of following me!?" Monokuma asked.
"Sorry sister, I just had to be sure." Mukuro responded.
"Then I'll make sure that I have hold you down and clean out all the ear wax in your ears and brain! Now let's go!" Monokuma screamed as he ran down the left hallway.
As Mukuro followed the robot, she was stopped by a bright flash. Where she then took a hit to the head with steel pipe. Making Mukuro hit the ground before recovering quickly enough to slice off the steel pipe of her aggressor.
"I see you will always remain pathetic. I can't blame your level of loyalty, except for the fault in wanting love to satisfy your masochism." Satsuki said as she revealed herself.
Mukuro glared at Satsuki while the Monokuma with her had only shook it's head, "Masochism is the correct term. At least I assume, it could be the sudden change in character that Enoshima made earlier in an attempt to persuade Ikusaba." it explained.
"I suppose this form of loyalty is a two way street." Satsuki said when the Monokuma handed her a new weapon.
Mukuro started to grit her teeth as she slash at Satsuki. Only narrowly missing with each strike before tearing at her clothes and hair. While Satsuki would occasionally deal a blow to Mukuro's chest as well as swatting her head with another steel pipe that Monokuma gave her. However, even when going as far as to push Mukuro back, the Despair sister merely ignored the attacks on her like she was being stung by a bee.
"You lack the tools to kill me." Mukuro said before running up to Satsuki.
"That may be true, but I will not lose." Satsuki said as her weapon was destroyed again.
"I fail to see how that would be possible." Mukuro said before slashing Satsuki across the chest.
Satsuki retaliated by kicking Mukuro into a wall. The proceeded to slam her fist into Mukuro's face. The impact being hard enough to make Mukruo crash into a classroom and into some desks. Mukuro quickly stood up and started throwing the desks and chairs in the class at Satsuki. Who did her best to dodge each throw as the class furniture embedded itself into the walls, nearly impaling her a few times.
'Perhaps during this down time, she got better control of her Life Fibers.' Satsuki thought before Mukuro bursted through another wall. 'It's terrifying to think that my mother could potentially create an army of Nui clones. Only here, it's not an annoying child with no boundaries for personal space.' she thought before tripping Mukuro and landing an elbow into her gut.
Mukuro let out a grunt before throwing Satsuki off of her and making her crash through a wall. Satsuki started to cough under the wreckage as she slowly stood up as Mukuro slowly walked up to her with a blade shaped arm.
'I will not lose to a puppet that functions off of masochistic affection.' Satsuki thought as Mukuro tried to stab her.
Instead, Satsuki moved slightly to the side and grabbed onto Mukuro's bladed arm. Where she then used the momentum against her and flipped her over the classroom. Not taking a break long enough to so much as breath, Satsuki proceeded to pounce on Mukuro before repeatedly smashing her fist against her face. All the while she can sense Mukuro slowly feeling frustrated.
"What's wrong? I thought you enjoyed this as your practically begged your master to beat you silly." Satsuki asked before Mukuro got angry and tossed her aside. "I now understand you do not like that. Does your perverted fantasy only involve your sister?" she asked as Mukuro ran like a berserker at Satsuki.
Who quickly jumped over Mukuro with a few scratches to the side of her body. Then having to dodge as a cannon ball nearly took her head off.
"Damn it Mukuro! I can't believe I actually thought that maybe… MAYBE, I was the inconsiderate one! No! Instead, I only realized that I'm an idiot for giving you some form of compassion! I think I've been too soft with you up to this point!" Monokuma screamed as he stood over another broken Monokuma.
Mukuro gulped as the machine sounded angry, "Sorry sis-"
"Shut up! Your stupidity is as visible as your yellow teeth!" Monokuma yelled before firing another cannon ball at Satsuki who dodged it again. "And you! Consider yourself expelled!" he yelled as he kept firing cannon balls at Satsuki until he hit a vent.
Causing a large smoke screen to appear. Causing both Mukuro and Monokuma to lose sight of Satsuki. It didn't help that the surveillance system started to fall apart and wasn't responding to Monokuma's commands. Leaving the bear angrily stomping around.
Back with Naegi
After escaping Mukuro and trying to drown out the sounds of an all out war. Naegi and Sayaka were guided back to the first floor by the cameras and other equipment. Almost having this eery feeling as the machines were against them before. Especially now that they stumbled onto some secret that Monokuma had with the imposter pretending to be Junko.
"What do we do Naegi?" Sayaka asked.
"I wanna say tell the others, but I'm not sure how they would react." Naegi said as he put Sayaka down.
"But they need to know." Sayaka said.
Naegi sighed, "Trust me, I feel the exact same way. Only something tells me that Monokuma would try to turn this against us." he said as hanging around Satsuki made him feel cautious.
That's when the sound of the second floor gate closing gathered some attention. Where the pair saw Aoi and Sakura running up to the two of them.
"Hey what that?" Aoi asked.
"I think the gate was open. Did you two do that?" Sakura asked.
"Not directly." Naegi answered.
Aoi proceeded to look at the gate, "Did it move on it's own or something?" she asked.
"It would definitely help if you two were able to see something. There's been a lot of noise going on upstairs." Sakura said as the two looked at each other.
"I think we saw something that Monokuma didn't want us to see." Sayaka said surprising them.
"How bad?" Sakura asked.
Naegi rolled up his fists, "I'm not sure if we could say it here." he said as the camera suddenly malfunctioned.
Sakura felt suspicious, "I think this is our only chance of privacy." she said as Aoi kept looking around.
"Is the technology here on the fritz or something? This is getting more creepy by the minute." Aoi said.
Sakura agreed, "I don't normally show any fear, but this is making me very anxious." she said.
"Every student report to the gymnasium at once! No exceptions!" Monokuma screamed through the speakers.
"I think we're in trouble." Naegi said with a scared face.
"What exactly were you two doing?" Sakura asked as they started walking.
"It started when we saw Monokuma and Junko." Naegi answered.
At the gym
Monokuma was angrily pacing back and forth as he angrily grumbled about something. Once every student except for Satsuki and Junko arrived. Monokuma decided to give his angry lecture before any particular attention to anyone that was currently present.
"Alright students, I've been very patient. No, scratch that." Monokuma said as he took a dramatic pause. Where he faced the class with an angry expression, "I have been a saint!" he yelled making some of the class flinch.
"And we are honored to have such qualities in a principal!" Kiyotaka exclaimed.
"Shut up brown nose! I'm not mad at you!" Monokuma yelled. "No, I am furious that a pair of lovers decided to go peaking around! I'm looking at you two!" he yelled while pointing at Naegi and Sayaka.
Now the two blushed as everyone else were looking at them. Though this is a very embarrassing scene for the pair. The two were still shaken up by earlier events and now felt like Monokuma was plotting something. However, there are a few who were unsure if two of their classmates hooking up is the real issue. Namely Sakura who felt that two people of the opposite sex being alone is not why the two looked panicked and while Byakuya couldn't care any less about romance or relationships, he had some doubt Monokuma would drag them in for this.
Meanwhile others like Kyotaka and Mondo had their own reactions.
"Degenerates! You two were breaking the one meter space rule!" Kiyotaka yelled angrily.
"Good job dude! You bagged an idol!" Mondo yelled excitedly while Leon nodded in approval.
"Is that what you two were doing!?" Aoi asked.
"Enough! That's not the only issue! Speaking of which, where's our exchange student!?" Monokuma asked, referring to Satsuki.
That's when Satsuki came crashing through the ceiling, "I am right here and tardy." she said while covered in medium wounds. "Normally, I think a student's behavior and background is reflected on their character. However, I see the institute is in the wrong this time." she said while walking up to the stage.
Monokuma kept stomping around angrily, "There you are! If your plan was to become the Ultimate Delinquent then congratulations! It's a three way tie between you, Makoto Naegi and Sayaka Maizono!" he shouted at her face.
"And what do you wish to do now that your patience has been broken?" Satsuki asked challenging the robotic bear.
Monokuma moved up in her face, "Consider yourself and your two delinquent friends, expelled!" he screamed making everyone gasp in shock.
At that moment, Monokuma expected some form of tools and dangerous machinery to appear to end Satsuki's life before focusing on the there two. Instead, Monokuma heard the sounds of machinery breaking down in the background. While he couldn't see it, Monokuma was harming Satsuki in a way. Namely with the annoying sounds of machinery falling apart in the background. With all the screeching, cranking and what sounds like a drill just digging into a very thick wall.
"Is this the part where the punishment begins?" Sasuki asked, mocking the robot.
"It sounds like the time the one time the front of my bike just fell clean off." Mondo said.
"I'm assuming it was because of your reckless driving?" Byakuya asked.
"I wish, the mechanic in charge didn't screw everything in right. The whole thing fell when I grabbed the handles." Mondo answered.
"What kind of mechanic do you go to?" Toko asked.
As the background conversations continued. Monokuma stomped his feet around in anger. Expecting that his childish behavior will somehow fix his technical difficulties.
'What the hell is going on? Is someone hacking me? The only threat is that is that trap and he doesn't even have a computer!' Monokuma thought while looking at Chihiro who kept smiling for some reason.
With Inamuta
While the man is stoic and professional unlike a certain swordsman. Inamuta had no choice but to tear apart the programming of the machinery in the academy. As the whole code that he looked at was a mess.
"I've seen old tool sheds look cleanlier than this." Inamuta said to himself as he was messing with the academy's technology. "I feel like a child that seeks to wreak havoc. I might as well without accidentally taking off Lady Satsuki's head in the process. Though I'm surprise that Enoshima girl didn't do it on accident." he continued to say while looking at his computer screens.
For a programming genius like Houka Inamuta. The programs set up for the security set up by Junko Enoshima looked like a tangled mess that he could easily break. Yet as he just said, he was avoiding trying to cause any damage that could harm his leader. As the mess of a program he was looking at.
Back at the gym
Satsuki would feel satisfaction but there is nothing entertaining with dealing with an angry child. By now, Monokuma was ranting and raving but no one could understand him. His words were so distorted, it almost sounds like someone was smashing their head against a keyboard.
"Are you done?" Satsuki asked.
"AHHHH!" Monokuma screamed angrily.
That's when Satsuki's patience reached it's limit and she bisected him with her sword. The lower torso of Monokuma fell back lifelessly as the top half started to lose function due to extensive damage. The top half looked at Satsuki as the dark haired girl lifted it up by the head.
"Do you hear me Junko Enoshima? All of us have had enough of your games." Satsuki said very sternly.
"What is she talking about?" Aoi whispered.
"The true mastermind is underneath our noses." Kyoko said as she watched the events unfold.
"Hey, won't that that bear explode or something? Is she crazy?" Leon asked.
Satsuki ignored the class, "What's wrong Enoshima? Are you that sadistic that you wish for blood to be spilled but you are too weak to spill it yourself? Or are you just incapable that you ask that sister of yours to do it for you?" she asked.
The Monokuma she was holding still remained functional but maintained silence.
"I suppose your weakness is attributed to your inability to handle one person capable of thought. The experiments done to yourself and your sister must be proof of your weakness and lack of evolution." Satsuki said as she continued with her insults until the Monokuma shut down.
After a few moments of silence, Satsuki turned around. The eery silence was almost enough to make anyone feel like they had gone enough. Thats when they heard the loud footsteps coming from another room. Everyone looked around, wondering if there was some secret passageway or something in the gym. Satsuki closed her eyes as if she were meditating or trying to listen closely towards the sounds of footsteps.
When Satsuki opened her eyes at the sound of wood exploding. Everyone jumped back in surprise with a few stumbling and falling onto the floor. As Junko revealing herself from under the stage. Only unlike the one they saw not too long ago, this one's face was covered by her bangs. Where they were then presented with the look of rage that Junko was bottling up in recent days.
"I see you finally showed yourself." Satsuki said without turning to face Junko.
"You stupid bitch. I worked my ass off. Planning every detail, every death, every accident, coordinating Mukuro's movements so she doesn't mess up and then you just show up to make sure everything is ruined." Junko said in a low voice as she walked up to Satsuki from behind.
"And how am I to blame for you inadequacy? Better yet, how could I not step in and derail an anarchist who lives off of violence. Because tranquility and order won't… what is the phrase, "Give you a hard on", is that right?" Satsuki asked.
"What the heck is going on?" Leon whispered.
"Be silent, this may prove to be very important." Byakuya said as Satsuki's appeared to change the rules of the game he was bound to.
"I feel like something bad is going to happen." Toko said nervously.
"I am going to rip off that stupid face of yours and hang on it a wall!" Junko shouted as her arm turned into an axe made of Life Fibers.
Which Satsuki immediately severed with her quick timing and Bakuzan. Causing Junko to shriek in pain as she gripped the missing limb.
"What the hell? How did you get your sword back? Better yet, where have you been hiding that thing!?" Junko asked.
"I feel like we shouldn't know the answer to that." Aoi said as she sweat dropped.
Mondo shivered, "I heard wild stuff people did in prison to hide their shivs. I don't wanna know how you hide a freaking katana." he said.
Satsuki gave Junko a rare smirk, "I was saving it just for you Enoshima. You should feel honored." she said as Junko growled at her. "Despite your tendency to derail the system for your own sadistic pleasure and your repeated delinquency. I have chosen to battle you again instead of your sister with the superior fighting style. Too bad she was born with a weaker mind." she said.
"I'm going to enjoy tearing you into confetti!" Junko yelled as she dashed for Satsuki who avoided most of her attacks.
"Should we do something?" Naegi asked.
"I'm afraid those two are fighting at levels that exceed normal human capabilities." Kyoko spoke up.
Sakura nodded, "I'm having a difficult time trying to predict their movement. We'll be more of a hindrance." She said.
Byakuya did not need to hear more, "Then I will be trying to seek shelter. This gym will collapse with the amount of pressure those two are possessing." he said as he tried to hide his surprise.
"I'm out of here too! We're prodigal students, not the Avengers!" Toko said as she really didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
Before anyone could try to leave. The ceiling fell apart as Mukuro came down looking ready to murder someone.
"She's back!" Sayaka yelled.
"What? Who's that?" Hifumi asked nervously.
"That's the sister that Satsuki mentioned. It's clear that the Junko that was with us is an impostor that worked for the real Junko." Kyoko said as she connected the clues that Satsuki gave her.
Mukuro turned towards the class as one of her arms turned into a buzzsaw. Not even looking like she cared, she slowly walked up to group. Everyone tried to run only for Mukuro to throw some debris at the doors to prevent an exit. As well as watching Satsuki crash into a wall as Junko managed to land a good hit on her.
"I think this is the part where our story ends." Hifumi said as he turned as white as milk from fear.
Mondo grabbed a loose pipe from the floor, "Might as well go down fighting!" he yelled.
Leon grabbed a wooden plank, "Maybe we can overpower her." he said.
Sakura cracked her neck and muscles as she took a stance, "Anything is worth a try. I never walk away from a challenge." She said.
As Mukuro jumped into the air with the intent to kill her classmates. She was suddenly hit with a surprise upper cut by Naegi. Which made her skid back a couple of feet.
"I guess that Makoto guy wants first dibs." Leon commented.
Naegi on the other hand, is very terrified, "Hey I didn't mean to do that!" he said before ducking from a swipe and jumping from a second swipe. Where he then kicked Mukuro across the face, "I'm seriously not doing this on purpose!" he yelled as Mukuro stumbled back.
Celstia giggled, "Your lover is quite the fighter Maizono." she said.
Sayaka blushed, "Naegi and I are just friends from middle school." she said denying any feelings of romance.
Soon, Naegi was quickly punched hard into the ground. Making the floor crack under the pressure. Only for him to jump back and repeatedly kick Mukuro who blocked each attack. The girl looked unfazed as she threw a flurry of punches which Naegi had some minor issues trying to block.
"I really didn't volunteer! Someone help!" Naegi said before Mukuro slashed at his clothes.
Causing a giant tear across his jacket revealing a part of the One Star Goku uniform. Mukuro's eyes widened as she started remembering the One Stars that worked under Gamagori to save the Student Council and the other students that Junko ordered to commit suicide. Leaving her open for Naegi to deliver a heavy punch that made her crash into Junko.
"Mukuro! You clumsy dumbass!" Junko yelled before being stabbed in the gut.
"I see you are finally utilizing the uniform's true potential Makoto Naegi. My faith in you has not been misplaced." Satsuki said sounding impressed.
"The uniform is doing this?" Naegi asked.
"Uniform?" Sayaka asked.
Hifumi gasped, "That is completely unfair! Why can only one of us obtain a power similar to the Sailor Senshi!?" he asked with outrage.
Luckily for Naegi, it wasn't an actual sailor suit like in Sailor Moon.
Elsewhere
Nagito sighed as he looked at his hand held game, "Alas, this game is far too difficult. I wish you were in better condition president." he said as he looked at Chiaki's unconscious form. "Surely you would have conquered this game in a mere few button mashes." he said as he kept playing.
The game Nagito was currently playing has an odd design. As it showed a Honnoji Academy student with a One Star uniform fighting a delinquent with a stereotypical design. Nagito was able to land good blows and make the delinquent stagger many times. Only his issue is the gameplay controls.
"I suppose it wouldn't help considering how stiff the main character is and how much health my opponent has." Nagito said as the game was agitating him.
After a couple minutes of playing. Nagito let out a loud sigh as a really long cutscene started to play.
"Do not tell me this is an attempt to further agitate me by saying I lose. That or like boring Anime Fighting games where your character wins but somehow the opponent is victorious in the next cutscene. That really defeats the purpose of such games." Nagito continued to say to himself.
That's when he saw his character crash through a wall and rub his aching head.
"I wonder what happens now." Nagito said.
Back with Naegi
Naegi was clutching his head after crashing through a wall, "Why do I feel like a puppet being controlled by a sadist?" he asked.
That's when he saw Mukuro walking through the destroyed wall. Looking hardly phased aside from minor bruising and her clothes being ruffled. Mukuro looked like she was fighting tofu.
"Can I forfeit?" Naegi asked. Mukuro responded by changing the shape of her hand into another weapon, "If I said something offensive earlier! I'm really sorry! But I literally have no self control!" he yelled as he tried shielding himself with his arm.
Only for the Ultimate Soldier to be stopped as she suddenly had an ice pick stabbed into her neck. Mukuro turned around and tried to kill whoever assaulted her only to find another bladed weapon being stabbed into her stomach. Followed by a kick to her chin that made her stumble before being stabbed in the chest.
"Wow, you really are a masochist." said the attacker who was none other than Chihiro.
"What the? Chihiro?" Naegi asked with a surprised look on his face.
Mukuro tried again to swing at Chihiro only to keep missing before grabbing them by the leg. Chihiro tried once again to stab Mukuro only to have the blade slapped out of their hand. Mukuro then dug her fingers towards Chihiro who barely had time to move their head as the sharpened fingers dug into their cheek. Instead of blood, some strange mass started to leak out.
Naegi quickly jumped onto Mukuro's back and held her in a headlock. Temporarily restraining the Ultimate Soldier long enough for the mass on Chihiro's body. Only to completely replace the Ultimate Programmer with a blond girl with buns on her head and a look of insanity on her face.
"You're not Fujisaki." Naegi said.
The girl laughed, "Nope, Fujisaki got a promotion so I'm covering for him." she said.
"Fujisaki's a girl." Naegi said trying to correct her.
The blond girl frowned, "You are in for a surprise." She said.
With Satsuki
Satsuki did have to admit, whatever amount of time has passed. Junko has become much stronger but not enough as a fighter. So much so that she's not fighting some child with a sharp toy.
"I congratulate you Enoshima." Satsuki said.
"Why? You see that I'm done playing?" Junko asked as she slashed at Satsuki.
"I congratulate you for surpassing nursery school level." Satsuki said to further infuriate Junko.
By this point, no amount of power was enough as Satsuki continued to cut through her. Before eventually cutting off her legs during one of the openings. Junko let out a loud scream of pain as she collapsed. Where she then tried to slash at Satsuki's legs. Making the Kiryuin heiress jump back which gave Junko time to try and reattach her legs. Only to fail as Satsuki stomped her heel into Junko's back.
"Just die already!" Junko yelled as she continued to fight.
Seeing there was no end to Junko's insanity. Satsuki took a few breaths and carefully took aim while avoiding Junko's attacks. Where she then brought down her sword and severed both arms at the elbow. Before kicking away limbs as quickly as possible. Not even giving her the chance to recover, Satsuki made sure to keep Junko immobilized and unable to fight back.
"This is what you chose to do to yourself? To discard your humanity for the sake of your desire?" Satsuki asked as Junko growled at her like an animal. "A question wasted, I should have realized that already." she said before dragging Junko out by her hair.
With the remaining class
Satsuki came out to see what has happened to Mukuro. Only to find the impersonator dragging Naegi into the gym.
"Toga, where is the other one?" Satsuki asked.
Toga shrugged, "Sorry boss lady, she some how escaped. No worries, I bet Inamuta will find her somewhere." Toga answered.
That's when the class came out from their cover, "Who the heck is this chick?" Leon asked.
Byakuya's eyes widened, "I know that woman. She's that psychopath who stabbed a student." he said.
"Who?" Leon asked.
Kyoko decided to elaborate, "Himiko Toga, once thought to be a kind and cheerful middle school student. One day, you attempted to murder another student to drink his blood like a vampire. When questioned, your parents said they did everything in their power to keep you behaved but you were a lost caused and considered a demon before being publicly disowned." she explained.
Toga smiled at Kyoko, "Wow you must be my stalker. Which for me, is another word for fan" she said before moving closer. "I'll give you an autograph if you trade me some of your blood." she said before Satsuki dragged her back.
"Keep your tendencies in check Toga." Satsuki said as her subordinate
"Why the hell is there a serial killer here!?" Hifumi asked.
"I would like to know as well. Her eyes do not match that of a sane person." Byakuya asked as Himiko gave him a bad feeling.
"Technically it was only one assault. Of course, the media can be manipulate to say anything for attention or when given proper funding. No one bothers to mention the whole story, but that matters not." Satsuki explained before one of the cameras came back to life.
"And where's the real Chihiro?" Naegi asked.
That's when the speakers came on, "Sorry guys, Satsuki-san threw me into this weird portal." he said.
"Chihiro?" Aoi called out.
"Yes, to keep a long story short. I found myself recruited by a man named Inamuta to help break down the school's technology. All the computers here are really nice too, but I could do without the academy's programs." Chihiro explained.
"I think a gym class and other stuff isn't much to worry about." Mondo said.
"I meant the code, it feels like I'm going through a dirty drawer that hasn't been touched in 10 years. So much is well connected, but it's such a mess." Chihiro replied as a ceiling light exploded. "See? It's like playing Jenga with lobster claws." He complained.
"Then can you find an exit for us?" Kyoko asked.
"It might take some time and a few ceiling fans exploding, but I can do that." Chihiro answered before disconnecting.
Aoi sighed in relief, "At least Aoi's safe." she said.
"And we can finally escape this death trap!" Hifumi said very happily.
"Are we not going to talk about the fact that she's carrying around the mastermind's body like a bag of potatoes?" Toko asked as she looked at Junko's angry form.
"Ignore Enoshima, this woman's mission was to create Despair and the only despair she feels is her own failure to carry out poor her ambitions." Satsuki said as Junko kept growling. Her anger stressed her enough to the point tears were falling out, "And now she's crying like a petulant child." she said.
"And if my prediction is correct. The police will be here and everything will be happily ever after." Yasuhiro said as he raised his crystal ball.
Kiyotaka liked that statement, "Indeed, it sounds like a reasonable ending. Then we can begin the semester once again after everything is cleared up." he said.
"None of that is happening, unfortunately." Satsuki said.
Yashuhiro sweat dropped, "But my prediction." he said.
"Is accurate if this were another dimension." Satsuki replied.
In another dimension
The doors were busted down as the police came running in.
"I guess you were right for once." Toko told Yasuhiro.
"I told you." Yasuhiro said before looking around the corner. "Also, you ladies might want to stay away from Naegi. Mukuro is getting very territorial." he said nervously.
Naegi chuckled nervously as Mukuro forced him to lie his head on her lap. All the while the body of a bloody looking Junko was being dragged away by the police.
In this dimension
"So what's going to happen then?" Celestia curiously asked.
Satsuki smirked, "I would like to extend a special invitation to you all." she said before Hopes Peak was flooded by the mixed forces of Future Foundation and Honnoji.
Elsewhere
Nagito yawned as he put the game away, "I hope whoever Satsuki-san used as a guinea pig did a good job. I think I need a break from the game." he said before exiting Chiaki's room. "I will see you again soon class president." he told Chiaki as he left.
As Nagito exited the hospital room. He moved down the corridor and into a special room where he saw his other classmates connected to a special machine. He watched with interest as the nurses and doctors were constantly watching over the brainwaves of everyone who was connected.
"I do hope everyone recovers. Even if the world is only virtual, the Despair I felt in there had taken a toll on me." Nagito said.
With Junko's plan to make the Ultimate Despair having become successful. Class 77 were put into the Neo World program and seeing as Nagito wasn't corrupted due to staying behind. He volunteered to enter the program along with a special artificial intelligence that looked like Chiaki as she was incapacitated during Junko's special Killing Game. Only now, it seems like there are only five "living" students left in the program.
Though Nagito himself had issues with nearly giving into Despair itself.
"I suppose it was a good test. I suppose now, Junko's program is going in for her last attempt to make them follow her plan." Nagito said as he saw a technician upload a new AI. "I guess that must the anti-virus. I wonder how this all pans out now." he wondered.
Inside The Neo World Program
Junko disappeared as quickly as she appeared. As the Ultimate Despair had appeared in the form of a giant to drop off a cell phone with with an image of herself on it. A giant version of Satsuki quickly appeared as well. Which immediately made Junko very angry.
"What the hell!? Who invited this bitch with the stupid eyebrows!?" Junko asked angrily.
The giant Junko immediately looked at the giant Satsuki and threw a punch. Satsuki proceeded to move sideways before grabbing the arm and twisting it. The second giant then shoved the giant Junko's face into the area where Hinata's group were having their class trial.
"Who is that?" Hinata asked.
"Some scary girl, look at that stare she's giving us." Akane said.
"Holy crap, I know her! She's that daughter of the head of REVOCS!" Fuyuhiko exclaimed as if this was the first time he met her.
"Relax yourself Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu. We have met before, but it seems as though your mind has been erased." Said a second Satsuki that appeared in front of them.
"Okay, this is getting a bit too much for me to handle." Akane said.
"I am indeed confused myself." Sonia said.
Satsuki sighed, "I really do not wish to start again. Only now that Minami is currently gone, I will have to deal with her slackers." She said.
"Minami is dead and so is everyone else!" Fuyuhiko shouted.
"She's not, your classmates are very well alive. However, I will explain all of that later. For now, I have to erase this trash." Satsuki said as the Junko AI growled. "Your plans for a dystopia have failed Junko. By now, my real self has more than likely derailed your other Killing Game and bringing you and your twin down to be locked up." she said.
"Like hell I'm losing to some bitch that gets high off of power!" Junko yelled as her giant avatar pushed the giant Satsuki away.
The giant proceeded to slam her hand down towards Satsuki. Only to be surprised by Hinata lifting the hand that was trying to squish her. Satsuki watched in surprise as some form of energy surrounded Hinata as his eyes turned red.
"The Ultimate Hope?" Satsuki asked.
"I don't know what's going on, but if we can bring down this bitch who ruined everyone's lives for good. Then I'm taking the risk." Hinata said as he was surrounded by more power.
Junko growled, "You cheater! Since when can you go Super Saiyan!?" She asked angrily.
"It's over 9000!" Kazuichi shouted.
"What is?" Sonia asked.
Kazuichi chuckled, "Just a funny reference." he answered.
However, the jokes wouldn't be very good as no one laughed. Especially Junko as her giant avatar tried to squish Hinata and Satsuki. Only for the giant Satsuki returning to the battle. Where she proceeded to stab her giant opponent through the chest with a virtual sword. The giant started to thrash around before falling down and having her head severed.
"That's enough my giant counterpart." Satsuki said as her giant self nodded. "And you Hajime Hinata? Are you ready?" she asked.
"What are you two idiots talking about now?" Junko asked.
Suddenly Hinata's entire body was surrounded by golden sparks as he charged up his fist. Then jumping at the cell phone containing the Junko AI before delivering a heavy punch that completely destroyed the program. Resulting in the entire Neo World Program starting to collapse.
"How unfortunate, the purpose of this program was ruined by Enoshima and thus there is no way to save it." Satsuki said.
"But what about us!?" Kazuichi asked as he looked scared.
"He's right, we beat Junko but will we die in the program?" Hinata asked.
Satsuki sighed, "Must I spell everything out for you?" she asked before looking up to see a wormhole.
Hinata nodded as he ran towards his classmates, "Everyone grab onto me!" he commanded.
A few seconds later, the giant Satsuki lowered her palm as she picked up Hinata's group. Where she proceeded to toss them towards the wormhole where Hinata used himself to navigate the group towards the exit. The AI scoffed as she looked at Hinata leave.
"For someone so plain, he can't help but become a literal hero. My true self will have much work to do with him." Satsuki said the entire virtual world collapsed.
In reality
Nagito chuckled to himself as he carried several snacks from the vending machine, "I spent 500 yen on a broken vending machine and yet it gave me it's entire stock as I prepared to leave it alone." he said.
Before Nagito could revel in his sudden luck in obtaining snacks. He looked at the window to see Hinata wake up first. Where he started to freak out until the doctors tried to keep him tranquil. That is until Nagito waved at him causing Hinata to hyperventilate.
"I suppose this is a bad time to rekindle our friendship." Nagito said before looking at his snacks. "Maybe a soft drink will help? Or perhaps a bag of peanuts?" he asked himself.
A week later
Hajime Hinata was not in a perfect mood. While he is happy that the nightmare prior to the virtual experience is behind him and Junko cannot harm him right now. He felt unnerved about Nagito being the one to push his wheelchair to Chiaki's room.
"Isn't there a nurse that can help me?" Hinata asked.
"Why certainly! But I volunteered because I wanted to spend time with my best friend!" Nagito replied cheerfully.
Hinata sweat dropped, "Just how is Nanami?" he asked.
"She's clear for visitors last I checked." Nagito said as he took Hinata into Chiaki's room.
Where he found the girl looking pale and fairly exhausted, "Hello Nanami, I brought Hinata and thought this would make a perfect reunion." Nagito said.
Chiaki slowly turned her head, "Haj-?" she tried to ask.
"Don't strain yourself. Here, take your time and I'll be right outside in case either of you need anything." Nagito said as he left to give the pair some privacy.
Hinata sighed, "I still can't trust that guy." he said remembering all the crazy things Nagito did in the program.
"Give him a chance Hajime." Chiaki murmured.
"I don't know if I can do that." Hinata said as he adjusted himself. "Anyways, enough of him. How are you holding up?" he asked as he could vaguely remember his memories from Izuru.
"I should ask you that. Your eyes, they have two different colors." Chiaki pointed out.
Hinata reached for his red eye, "I know, I look weird now don't I?" he asked.
"You look special now. Not so plain anymore." Chiaki said trying to brighten his mood.
"I think I took average and plain for granted." Hinata said as he gave a weak chuckle.
Chiaki giggled in response, "I missed this." she suddenly said. "I missed spending time with you at the fountain. Every afternoon and at lunch." she said.
"Yeah, I missed that too." Hinata said before wincing in pain.
"Are you okay?" Chiaki said almost getting out of bed.
"I'm fine!" Hinata grunted out.
All he could see was the medical operations. Along with brief images of Ragyo spearheading the project. Along with the failed Killing Game where everyone turned against each other only for Gamagori to arrive with his Disciplinary Committee.
"At least, I'm fine now." Hinata said as his vision was clear now.
Chiaki gave him a concerned look, "If you say so." she said before the door opened up again.
"I see you two are recovering nicely." Satsuki said as she arrived with two boxes.
"Hi Satsuki-san." Hinata said very weakly.
"I came to check on the both of you. Seeing as this reunion has hopefully improved your mental health. I decided to bring a couple of gifts." Satsuki said as she handed Chiaki one of the boxes. "I think this will be better suited towards the future as to avoid near death experiences." she said.
Chiaki opened the box and was surprised to find a copy of her old uniform. Only now it appeared to be slightly restyled, but with some visible equipment attacked to the shirt and jacket. Overall, it looked like a good remaster of the original suit. Knowing Satsuki, Chiaki knew that this wouldn't be like video game remasters which most tend to do poorly by being filled with glitches and just increasing the brightness setting. Thinking about it now, Chiaki realized that her original Goku Uniform Prototype is likely badly damaged!
"If you are concerned with the half star. Do not worry. It was merely a test suit and while it was unforunate that it was nearly destroyed. My subordinates did retrieve it for study." Satsuki explained as Chiaki slowly gripped the new outfit. "This Two Star is far superior compared to the original." she said as Chiaki decided to try on the visor.
Her vision changed and she saw various outlines. The Ultimate Gamer winced, realizing that maybe she wasn't ready to try out something so advanced so soon. However, she could see some unique improvements in detail.
"Maybe it's not a good idea to put it on yet." Hinata said with worry.
"I admire your eagerness, but Hinata has a point." Satsuki adds.
Chiaki narrowed her eyes as she read strange titles over their heads.
Satsuki Kiryuin (Healthy) - 80% (Close Ally)
Hajime Hinata (Recovering) - 75% (Budding Romance)
Chiaki blushed and immediately took off the visor. The status check on others is a nice touch but she didn't want to see her relationship check. Now Chiaki wasn't sure if those statuses were how she felt or how others felt about her.
"I think Nanami needs to rest again." Hinata said.
"Very well, I need to speak to you in private Hinata. Nanami, while I discourage such delinquent style entertainment. The other box is filled with games recommended by Inamuta and several others." Satsuki said while holding back her ire.
She couldn't really think about what went on in Inamuta's head. Since she wouldn't know if he actually played video games or if he went through a complicated statistic to determine what games Nanami would enjoy. The others under him will likely receive punishment on a later date.
As Satsuki and Hinata left, Chiaki opened the second box and looked at the first game title and found a sticky note attached. This made her sigh as she didn't like what it implied.
"I don't even enjoy text heavy games. So why is the first game an otome game?" Chiaki asked as she wasn't seeking virtual romance lessons.
With Satsuki, a few moments later
Upon arriving in a room to speak discreetly. Hinata was wheeled in to find Makoto Naegi waiting in there as well.
"Hinata, meet Naegi. Naegi, meet Hinata." Satsuki said as she closed the door.
After giving each other an awkward greeting. Satsuki sat down behind a desk to remind them of recent events. Starting with giving them Junko's profile and her attempts to bring the world into Despair. Which gladly failed, but it's taking the world a little while for their governments to be organized again. Then there were the two Killing Games that the two survived.
Despite only Hinata being able to lead his classmates into overcoming Monokuma until Junko's reveal while Naegi essentially stalled Mukuro for most of the time. Satsuki believes she sees potential in the both of them.
"Which is why I would like to present both offers." Satsuki said as she pulled out two boxes.
"Both offers for what?" Naegi asked.
"On one hand, you can leave upon recovery to join my temporary ally in the Future Foundation that the previous Hopes Peak Principal founded. Where they will work to create Hope." Satsuki said lacking any motivation to further explain.
"And you have your own offer then." Hinata said as he was able to pick up Satsuki's next statement.
"On the other hand, you could join my faction and use your potential for something bigger. Where you can begin again at Honnoji Academy and have more worth than a few idealistic individuals hiding behind titles claiming to be the elite among normal men." Satsuki explained.
"I think I know which one I'm picking." Hinata said without hesitation.
Now Naegi felt lost, "What? Just like that? I still need a lot of time to process this!" he exclaimed.
"Take your time Naegi-san. I think with what's happened to me. I want the chance to do more." Hinata said as the past few days were enough time to reflect on everything.
"As Hinata said, think carefully Naegi." Satsuki said as a warning.
Not one to be cautious of what Naegi should feel comfortable with, but to be cautious of how his decision will effect him and others.
"For now, I suppose you should receive your box early." Satsuki said as she handed a box to Hinata.
Opening it up, Hinata's eyes widened as did Naegi. Both recognized Honnoji Academy's symbol as they saw some clothing inside. Though, they were both sure it wasn't ordinary clothing.
"Is that one of the uniforms you gave me?" Naegi asked.
"No." Satsuki answered sternly. "Even with all the effort my Sewing Club could muster. No uniform can move past three stars which determine their strength. Which is amplified by by the percentage of Life Fibers that make up these uniforms." she explained.
Naegi was falling behind in understanding this. Meanwhile every Ultimate skill was helping Hinata understand and think about what Satsuki is saying. What she is trying to say, is that this specific uniform can surpass, if not already surpassing, any Goku Uniform.
"So this all Life Fiber or something?" Naegi asked.
"Precisely, this was delivered to me through the Future Foundation. For some reason, it was meant for Hinata for reasons unknown to me." Satsuki explained.
As Hinata silently stared at the uniform. He couldn't help but feel some form of aggression coming from the outfit. Almost like he was staring at a wild animal with it's cage being wide open.
"This is the second one of it's kind I've witnessed." Satsuki said.
"What is it?" Hinata asked.
"A Kamui." Satsuki answered.
TO BE CONTINUED…
OMAKE: Too Many Invitations
"And you have your own offer then." Hinata said as he was able to pick up Satsuki's next statement.
Satsuki shook her head, "No, in fact. Someone else has an offer that is far superior to my own." she said as she opened the door.
As Hinata and Naegi looked on, a bald elderly gentleman was wheeled into the room.
"Hello boys, I am Professor Charles Xavier. I run the Xavier Institute for gifted individuals." Charles explained.
Then a dark skinned man with an eye patch came in, "I am Nick Fury, Director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division." he said.
After that, a man dressed up like a bat appeared, "I'm Batman, I run the Justice League." he said.
Finally, there was another elderly man with thick glasses, "Good news, I am Professor Hubert Farnsworth. I own the Planet Express." he said.
Naegi sweat dropped, "Why does this suddenly feel like a college scholarship?" he asked.
"And why are there so many superhero organizations but no one was around to deal with Junko's Despair army?" Hinata asked.
Then another hero arrived, "I'm Barnaby Brooks Jr. I would like to extend an invitation to our hero program. Where we compete to gain points every year to win a trophy and we gain those points by fighting crime and listening to our corporate sponsors." Barnaby explained.
"In other words, disregard human life if it does not mean you gain anything." Satsuki said.
"Hold the hell up! Weren't you and your friends shut down?" Nick Fury asked.
Barnaby felt awkward, "By chance, have any of you received my application to join the X-Men, S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Justice League?" he asked but everyone shook their head. "Oh, how about the Avengers?" he asked.
That's when Iron Man came crashing down from the ceiling, "We are Earth's Mightiest Heroes, not the pointless heroes who never arrive when they're needed." he said.
"That's my organization!" Reinhard Van Astrea said as he walked in.
"I think I'll sign up for Honnoji Academy." Hinata said.
"Me too." Naegi said.
