Welcome back to the DRFN Q&A! I will never call this story that ever again. We've got just one question from all of the websites for now.

Gundham: Prepare yourselves mortals, for this answer may or may not be what you seek…

Ryuji: Dude, just talk normally.

Okay first question from AnonymousIGuess on …

Ai: Ah, it's about the motivations for the killing game. Interesting first question.

Gundham: Renegade, have you managed to create the other motives? Most of them better not be reused from previous killing games.

(Deep voice activate) Do not fret, my companions, I have managed to gather suitable motives. After Monokuma's update on the home worlds, you shall witness motives worthy of the Danganronpa series!

Ai: Please don't be doing that too.

Gundham: Not bad, but I have heard better. I have said better.

Ha ha… sorry. Ahem, there's only one motive that I'm reusing from the series, and it's from Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Asides from that I browsed the internet to get a good idea.

Ryuji: You really couldn't come up with much original stuff, huh?

Bernie: T-to be fair, turning our loved ones into members of that Ultimate Despair group is pretty cruel…

Yeah, but even that was just a different take on the first motive in Trigger Happy Havoc. Anyways, I have the other motives ready, hope you look forward to seeing what they are! We're still waiting for more questions, so keep them coming!

Chapter 2: Johnny Beach Goode Part 6 (Deadly Life)

Citizens Remaining: 14

"P-Pichu…" Pibu tapped on Marty's body, but he remained lifeless on the floor of the men's restroom.

Why… just why did this happen?

A while ago, Marty and I were on stage, having a performance that made nearly everyone forget about the killing game. It felt like things were looking up for us, yet it all just came crashing down.

"Tch…" I kneeled down next to our poor friend as Gold clenched his fists.

"RAAAAAAAGH!" He let out as I felt as if I could scream as well.

*Ding dong dong ding*

"A body has been discovered! Now then, after a certain amount of time has passed, the city trial will begin!" Monokuma says in a dreadfully cheerful manner on our e-Handbooks, which makes things even worse.

There's a notification in the rules section of the handbook, but that is not important at this moment. The others walked in and were immediately greeted by the corpse.

"So this is why there was screaming…" Emma said, putting a hand over her mouth.

Aoba frowned as he looked at Marty, "How unfortunate, but you had to expect the peaceful times to end at some point."

"B-but… how did this happen?!" Shantae asked, with tears in her eyes.

"I hate to say it, but we have to find out. I don't want to have another trial, but if we fail to cooperate, we'll be executed." I stood up and faced the others, despite my growing sorrow.

"Whoever did this to McFly… they're gonna pay." Ryuji scowled as he walked out of the restroom.

"I'll help investigate with you Ai, we need to find the culprit fast!" Emma exclaimed as I nodded in agreement.

"Miles and I will look to see if there's anything linked to the murder outside of the restrooms." Said a determined Trunks.

"I… I'll help out around here too. Can't just sit on the sidelines and just let you handle all of it, eh Super Serious Flower Gal?" Gold stood up straight and held his pool cue behind his back.

"HOOOOOOOOLD IT!" Oh god, it's Monokuma, "You can't start the investigation without the Monokuma File #2!"

He hands it to us as Pibu is once again hidden in his ball and we look over the information.

Investigation

Victim: Marty McFly

"The time of death was around 7:45."

"The body was found in the Men's Restroom at Jabberwock Coast."

Wait, the cause of death isn't here…

"Why does this file have less information than the last one?" Miles questioned the bear.

"Puhuhu! It's just to make things even more interesting, and fun too!"

"You're the worst." Emma told him.

"I know. Buh-bye!" He responded before disappearing again.

At least there's SOME information we could use on here.

"Monokuma File #2" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

Time to see what's been left around in here.

"Hey, there's a plastic cup on the floor here!" Emma called Gold and I over and we picked up the item.

Judging by the bright red liquid below it, it looks like he spilled his drink.

"It has Marty's name written on it, must be from the punch earlier… Wait a minute…" I noticed a different tint of red inside of the cup, that did not look like punch.

"Is that… his blood?" Gold asked as I compared the liquid from Marty's mouth to the one in the cup, and they matched.

"Marty's Cup" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

I turned my attention to one of the stalls, which has it's door wide open. Marty must have used it when he went in here. I looked in to see vomit, over the toilet seat and on the floor, gross.

"Yeesh!" Gold let out when he saw it, Emma gagging, "Was it something he ate?".

"Maybe… or it could be something he drank." I said, looking back at the cup.

"Vomit in Toilet Stall" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

I inspected the rest of the restroom, but only found blood on the sink in front of the body. So it's time to inspect it… sorry Marty.

"Y-you can do it, right? I don't think I can touch a dead guy…" Gold scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah yeah, I'm on it."

I once again saw the blood dripping out of his mouth, but I see that it ended up on his dress shirt and right hand as well. I am then realizing that Marty had a coughing fit after the concert, it looks like it had gotten worse. WAY worse.

"Marty's Coughing Fit" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

We managed to gather only a few pieces of evidence in the crime scene, we need to start looking around this area for even more. After the three of us walked out of the restroom I then decided to check out the new rule notification on my e-Handbook.

Rule #13: The Body Discovery Announcement will play as soon as three or more people discover a body for the first time.

"Wait, but it was just me and you who found the body, and Pibu isn't a participant…" Gold's eyes widened after reading it.

My eyes widened, "So… someone must have found the body before we had. It can't be the killer, so who could it be?"

"Body Discovery Announcement" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

"Ugh, nothing so far, how much have you guys got?" Miles asked us and I raised my hand up, only five so far.

"There has to be some evidence around here somewhere. Hold on, how about asking the people who weren't there for the World Update?" Trunks brought up a good idea.

"Of course, there was Shantae, Aoba, and Alice. They've got to know more than us while we left." Emma hit the palm of her hand with her fist.

"Then let's go ask them!" Gold dashed off and Emma & I followed, while Trunks and Miles kept their search up.

The buffet table was less than halfway finished and we saw Ryuji and Espio trying to comfort a beyond scared Bernadetta, as Killua angrily took a sip from his plastic cup.

"Have you guys seen Alice, Aoba, or Shantae?" Emma asked them.

"Alice is back in the kitchen, Aoba's by the department store, and Shantae's in the restroom. Why?" Espio informed us.

"We need information about this case. Emma, do you mind running back to the restroom to see if Shantae has anything?" I asked her and she nodded, running back to where we were a minute ago.

"That Aoba guy, I'll handle him!" Gold gave me a thumbs-up as he raced away on his skateboard.

Which leaves Alice to me. I walked in and saw her inspecting the kitchen, "Have you found anything?" I asked her.

"Sadly no, but if there's anything here, feel free to look around! I'm no good at playing detective, even with my knowledge." She pouted.

I take a look around and see the punch bowl, but strangely enough, it looks slightly lighter than what was on the floor of the restroom. It looked more pink than red.

"Punch Bowl" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

I then decided to continue with this topic, "Hey Alice? Could I see the recipe you were using to make the punch?"

"Here you go! It's all written here, and despite how little resources this kitchen has compared to what I'm used to, I managed to make it taste phenomenal." Alice giggles as she hands me a clipboard with the recipe.

It was a pretty refreshing drink, I must admit. Now's not the time for that however. I looked over the ingredients and saw nothing too out of the ordinary (aside from the fact that there was no sugar). Still, something must have been added to Marty's drink, and I should keep this just in case.

"Punch Recipe" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

The kitchen was filled with different fruits, vegetables, meats, and seasonings, but I then spotted something very dangerous. Why was this here, there's no rodents roaming around, so what is this powdered rat poison doing here?

"Poison Powder" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

This could be what killed Marty, but how did it change the tint of the punch? I continued looking and found a pack of food coloring, yet one bottle was missing, where could it be?"

I decide to take the investigation elsewhere and spot Miles and Trunks by the dock. I jog over there and see that the wooden boards are removed.

"Were they like this when you found it?" I asked the two of them and they nodded their heads.

"Now the question is, how did they get removed in the first pla—"

"I know." Miles was interrupted by Sucy's sudden appearance, "I did say that I saw what happened when Bernadetta was drowning, right Ishigami?" She looked to her right and Ishigami Yu, was shuddering in the corner because of the murder.

"Okay, so you said you saw Bernadetta trip and fall into the water, but now you're saying you ALSO know who messed with the dock?" Trunks questioned her, yet she just sighed.

"It was Aoba. While he was out strolling, I saw him remove some planks and drop them into the water. Not very keen on good waste disposal." Sucy explained to us.

"Moved Dock Planks" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

"Sucy's Account" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

Emma came running up to us next, "Shantae says she was with Aoba and Alice for two hours, preparing the buffet. And she was informed that she mostly helped with the refreshments. Also, she was in the restroom for some breathing time, seeing Marty's body really got to her."

"Shantae's Account" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

Now all that's left is to see if Gold got something out of Aoba. Myself, Miles, Trunks, and Emma made our way towards the department store and saw Gold standing outside by the garbage containers.

"Did you get anything, Gold?" I asked as we came to a complete stop.

"I wasn't able to find him around here, even inside the store too..."

"Looks like this is all the evidence we've g—"

"... But I did find these!" Gold pulls out a map of Jabberwock Coast, written in pen, as well as the missing food coloring bottle.

Annoyed, I bonked him upside his head, "Why didn't you just say that earlier?!".

"I thought you guys were only looking for him first, so I thought that was more important, ouch…" He rubbed the spot where I hit him.

"Thirteen pieces of evidence, is this really enough?" Trunks wondered out loud.

"Used Red Food Coloring" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

"Handwritten Map" has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your handbook.

*Ding dong bing bong*

"That's all the time we've got, ladies and gents, the city trial begins shortly! And change outta your swimsuits, fun time for YOU is over, and fun time for ME is now! Bwahahahahaha!"

"It looks like it is. Just need to know when to use them." I said as we all headed back to the Hope-tel to change.

Making our way to Enoshima Park's elevator, we see that Aoba is the last one to arrive.

"My apologies for making you all wait, now then let's stay alive, shall we?" Was what he said, looking in my direction before heading to the elevator.

I didn't want to be here again, yet one of us managed to kill Marty McFly. I never truly got to know how he was a time-traveller, but he was a positive guy. He offered to put on a performance to give us the confidence to find another way out.

For his sake, we need to press on. Myself, Gold, Trunks, Aoba, Alice, Emma, Miles, Sucy, Ishigami, Espio, Killua, Ryuji, Bernadetta, & Shantae, either one of us lives, or one of us is executed. We take our seats, and look around at each other.

Our second city trial has begun.

Let me know who you think is the blackened. That is all.
