ACT VIII: CHILDREN WILL LISTEN

TWO MIDNIGHTS GONE: DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY

TOWA CITY: ADULT BASE: PRISON

It was now the brink of dawn in towa city and in the prison, one would awaken to the sound of banging, but not for the reason one might think. Seeing gp with his head against the wall doing the oddest thing

Gp: Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm

Three and

Once again the time has come
BANG
Another year has passed us by
BANG
It is time to rejoice
BANG
Give thanks in one voice
BANG
Sing hooray, for charismas day
BANG
And

Happy birthday Jesus may we wish you many many very happy returns
May today be filled with fun for gods one and only son
on his 2018 (or so) birthday!

Then gp slumped back on the bed, justifiably tired from banging his head on the wall for a much less justifiable reason.

Gp: I'm booorreeddd… I mean not bored enough to destroy the world and hurt my friends, but still!

Then he heard someone sneaking

Shirokumaaaa there gonna find you say that…

Kotoko: Strong as they may be~ these bars can't handle me~ my name is Kotoko Utsugi, the Fighter working for the Warriors of Hope. I was originally called "Little ultimate drama," but that isn't so important… Open sesame~!

Gp: SNAPLE THE PINK ONE! No offense

Gp spoke in surprise as she busted the door open with a teeth gun

Kotoko: Honey, I'm home! Golly, I'm tired! Ufufu, whoops, I started firing off antique phrases. I've entertained lots of audiences of the older generations, so my sense of humor has become old fashioned. And speaking of old things… Kyaaa, I can't think of anything! I'm simply too nervous! Haah, my heart is pumping like an overly flustered Gatling gun…

Gp: its ok take your time buddy I got nothing on my list anyway

Kotoko: I know, I know. You're going to say that "fighter" seems like a boy's role, aren't you? Speaking of boy things, there are people who triumphantly talk about how slugs are genderless, but… the truth is that slugs are equipped with the power of both sexes all in one body. I will see to it that anyone who irresponsibly spreads information like that is punished! Fighter kick! Fighter punch! Hacha hacha! Hiyaaa!

Gp: TO MANY THINGS AT ONCE
Ok 1 no I am quite "woke" as the youth say so if you wanna be a fighter you go
2 hahahaha nah saying woke is cringe but still stands I respect your class
3 interesting! Animal biology is such fun
4 AH BLOOMERS! oh wait I can't see them at this angle, thank goodness I may be chaotic evil, but I have standards thank you very much

Kotoko: I keep saying...that I'm bad at athletics, so I don't like being the fighter. Well, I may not be an athlete, but I'm still good at keeping fit… ...how about you? Have you been keeping fit?

At that gp poked through his sweater where he felt his ribs it was moments like this that reminded the world skinny did not equal healthy

Gp: uuhh… I walk a lot if that means anything? But if you don't want to be the fighter you can just not, I'm sure there are many other classes you can be great at…..I donno rj was the dragon quest fan, oh how about an archer, you know cause the dental gun… I'm sorry I'm sure you can do better.

Kotoko: There aren't girls who don't care about their fitness! ...Or at least, that's what I think. ...and now I think~...

Gp: what do you think?

Kotoko: I came here to hunt you, but...I've changed my mind. I'll let you escape.

Gp: REALY!?

Kotoko: Oh, but don't think that my feelings toward demons have changed. I hate demons as much as ever. As much as possible, I want to kill each and every one of them in painful gruesome ways. For example...drowning them in a septic tank, or slowly sawing off each of their fingers…and not even that would be enough. My hate for them is at max value. And so, we get to the question of why I'm letting you escape-

Gp: IS IT BECAUSE YOU FINALY SEE THAT AS RJ'S FATHER I GAVE HER THE LOVE AND CARE SHE DESERVED JUST LIKE HOW SHE GAVE YOU GUYS LOVE AND CARE NO ONE ELSE DID WHICH MEANS THAT YOU WILL SEE ME AS YOUR GRAND PA!?

Kotoko: uh…yeah…sure

Gp: YEAAAAAHHH
also, I'm not a demon I'm a pression
but that's a long story to show my true form would blow your mind! So, can me and soul go?

Kotoko: no no no, that's the catch, I'm only letting you escape. The big man is scary. So I don't need him.

Gp: but soulbound is a big softy when you get to know him! Can't you make an exception, he's totally the type to give you 100 dollars on charismas

Kotoko: please keep this a secret from the others, especially from that Sagely Nagisa, or I'll get harshly reprimanded. Nagisa won't even let me drink soda at meals. It can't be helped when we're eating rice...but with bread, it should be fine, right? Drinking milk with a milk pancake is just like drinking curry soup with curry.

Gp: what! That's a shame, I would totally let you drink soda with dinner that's like- a right of childhood… I mean yeah it is bad- but 90% of things in life are I'm getting you a soda after this AND DONUTS! You like red velvet? If you don't that's ok, I'll get your favorite type on me! Well, I guess since you guys rule it's probably already free but if it isn't you're in luck!

Kotoko; Now now, let's-a-go! Before you're found by one of those small fries, get out of here!

Gp: all right, all right but before I leave, I'm taking you to the nearest donut shop,

But as gp was prattling, he got shot with a teeth gun

Kotoko: Gotcha! And the crowd goes wild!

Gp: I'VE BEEN HIT OOOOOOOIIIIIII!

Kotoko: This is my "Denture Shooting Gun". What do you think? It's a perfect name, isn't it? This fantastic form… It's the color of fresh salmon! It's as horrible as it is charming! Kyaaa, there's nothing cuter in the world! Ah, incidentally, my family worked in dentistry. And just so you know...my father had an affair with his dental assistant. He never became an international surgeon like he wanted, so despite being a dentist, surgeon play was his favorite. Oh, what a wonderful papa he was. Ignoring my wishes and making me work above all else... No matter how many times I kill him, I want to kill him more… He was a wonderful papa.

Gp: I can bring him back to life if that makes you happy…I hate doctor's tooooooooo

Kotoko: Kyaaa! One shot and you're already delusional! I just know you'd be cute trying to crawl away. Although…being cute is a sin. Being cute will get you in a lot of trouble. If you're cute, you have to protect your own body. If you can't do that, there's nothing to be done if anything bad happens. It's a crappy rule, but it's one that adults created… ...so you best prepare yourself.

Gp: ….I hate anesthetics…..if this is like last time. I don't like where this is going doctor…


Soulbound: I FEEL A DISTURDANCE IN THE FORCE!

At that soulbound felt his body rise up and slam to the wall

Dah- GOS- DARN LET ME GET TO THE DOOR FIRST!


Kotoko: ugh- how did you get so hard to move!

She said dragging gp who abruptly felt as if he was tied to an invisible anchor

Gp: soooOoOoOoOooOoOUUUUuuuuuullllllboooOOoOoOOOoNNNnnnnnnD


Going back to soulbound whose body was fused in a wall to slowly pop out the other side

soulbound: this puts the name "soulbound" to a whole new meaning
… I hope no one's behind me, I know enough about japan to know how that works out

He said finally popping out the other side to continue to be dragged by the invisible force then to see monokuma kids looking at him

Soulbound: nothing to see just magic….!

At that he noticed they had a tracker pad... ah so gp was right those bands really did have trackers

Soulbound: wait gp was kidnaped! Oh no and at this part of the story it could only be- OH GOD I NEED TO GET THERE BEFOR ITS TO LATE

At that he took the tracker and nodded to them in thanks jumping into the air which made the pulling force a rise of rubber band physics as he flew off

Soulbound: thank you
now I must go GP NEEDS ME!


Gp: doctor was the surgery a success?
WAIT THIS IS TOO PINK TO BE A MEDICAL TABLE
AM I FINALY IN THE CIRCLE OF HECK!?

Kotoko: Without further ado, let's begin the "motivation"!

Gp: oh, thank goodness I'm still alive…
WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOTIVATION!?

Kotoko: I mean this!

At that I saw… mickey mouse clubhouse handy helpers?

Gp: mickey Mouse clubhouse handy helpers?

Kotoko: do you really not know what's going on?

Gp: nope notta clue

Kotoko: well, let's say you're a gross ugly cow demon, and these are farm hands
they are going to help milk every last drop out of you

Gp: but I'm a boy shouldn't I be a bull?

Kotoko: exactly!

Gp: WAIT YOU CAN'T MILK ME I'M STILL A VIRGIN

Kotoko: too bad and to sad

Gp: while I've had many "fantasies" about this, but I don't want a child doing it to me can't you wait like... what are you 10? Like 8 years then you can sexually assault me all you want

Soulbound: GP YOU ARE NOT GONNA GET ASSULTED

At that the hands started doing their thing and…

Gp: OH MY LOVE I KNOW YOU ARE MY CANDY MAN!
AND OH MY LOVE YOUR WORD IS MY COMMAND!
OH MY LOVE I KNOW YOU ARE MY CANDY MAN!
AND OH MY LOVE LET US FLY TO BOUNTY LAND!

At this kotoko stops for a moment looking at him with confusion

Gp: I SING WHEN IM STRESSED

Kotoko: oh then carry on

Gp: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH


Back with soulbound who's sprinting for his life with the tenacity of Usain bolt and the determination of a gazelle when he saw the monorail gp was surely in, but how to get there? At that he looked and saw a beast monokuma, a brazen creature known for its speed and ferocity… perfect
with this he jumped on the monokuma with the skill of rodeo cowboy making sure to latch on to this beast tighter than any parasite till it learned who was boss

Soulbound: Calm down lad and make haste towards that monorail…
….ah mono-rail clever
CHARGE!

And with this soulbound road on the monokuma like a Nobel steed to rescue the male damsel that is gp
bursting into the monorail pulling out his cutlass to fight any hostile monokumas still riding his beast monokuma getting closer and closer to his goal

[SOULBOUND]
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of heck
But I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

Hey buddy, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

With one of the last enemy monokumas down he burst through the door to see gp in a… compromising position, ew

Gp: soulbound! Save me then relieve me of my build up I can at least do it if it's you and not a child

Kotoko: I can't allow that! This is his penalty. And for the unattractive one, an unattractive super penalty!

But even though kotoko was preparing for a fight soulbound simply picked her up by the scruff her coat and opened a monorail window to the city outside all while kotoko was squirming

Soulbound: now usually I would never throw a child out of a moving train but thanks to my knowledge I know you will survive so…
throws kotoko out of train
YEET

Gp: so coooooooooolll

And then they crashed into a building
and then everyone died the end!

GP!

Sorry soul I can't help it! Ok on with the story so… ah yes! Well, soulbound of course frees gp to which gp hugs him

Gp: My hero!

Soulbound: gp I know what you're doing, stop

Gp: she was milking me soul! I was closing my eyes and thinking of you to feel better, but it got my tail wagging, I can't face a child with my tail wagging that's messed up especially since I got baggy pants

Soulbound: shhhiiiigghh…
at this soulbound handed a book by the name "just for each others needs" on it
there's a bathroom on the hall top left I'll wait

Gp: thank you….

How embarrassing but in the end, I was milked by my own hand so HA! But no one wants to hear that it's gross TMI most guys do it but they don't wanna hear other guys doing it so from this point onward we will never talk about this again GOT IT?
Good!

Now time to fight another kid

Kotoko: I was able to survive being thrown of a train like you said, but...how dare you destroy my mobile Warrior House? It feels like my insides are burning up. It appears that you've made me quite angry.

Soulbound: oh, so you didn't call it a mono-rail…kind of a missed opportunity.

Kotoko: of course a demon would have such basic thoughts. Speaking of deplorable things...how did you "motivation"? Just a little more and you'd have felt so good your head would empty out and your personality would twist…

Gp: 80 years in the funny farm already did that! Also, I don't remember what you're talking about!

Kotoko: What's this? Are you renouncing your duty? How very dishonest! If you're cute, then you have to endure envy and thrown stones and people passing you on the street saying "Ugly!" and "Die!" Without that...what are you even worth?

Soulbound: miss, if you may you are undergoing clear "mental trauma" do to "severe abuse" which has stunted the emotional growth of your empathy and other psychological issues you may be unaware of surrender now and I will fund the best therapist you could ask for along with any other treatment you would need for your wellbeing

Gp: why do you keep offering she's just gonna say no

UTSUGI: trauma…? Not at all. All of that is all the demons' responsibility. After all, I was happy with everyone. I was happy as an inconspicuous, normal kid. Despite that...they forced the burden of their own dreams onto a child...and made them do "business" together… ...Well, who cares what I want, right? Everyone said that a parent-child set was so great...Just how twisted can adults get? ...Ah, I misspoke. It was demons, not adults. My past self always did as that ugly demon told her. It's quite embarrassing. But...I'm different now. I know what adults always love, and now I know adults always hate. I can put my experience to good use, and painfully exterminate any apparitions I can!

Soulbound: no one is arguing with you I would not blame anyone for that type of hate and resentment, and I do not. There is nether happiness nor misery in the world, only the comparison of ones state to another nothing more.

Kotoko: If that's true, when why didn't anyone come to save me!? If the world is good, then why didn't anyone come set me free!?

Gp: there's not enough good people to save everyone…

Soulbound: not everyone can be saved…

Kotoko: ...Well, not that any of that matters. After all, this isn't what I'm really thinking. It's acting. Thanks to the "old" prodigious child actor in me, I'm able to act so very realistically.

Soulbound: no, it wasn't…

Kotoko: And it's also thanks in large part to big sis Junko for saving me.

Gp: then why can't I save you to? I know rj like the back of my hand if you're ok with her then I'm fine to you can't just go "save me save me" then when someone who can save you comes go "demon die!" that is hypocritical and won't get you anywhere don't yah know better? To think I was gonna buy you donuts, heck I'm still gonna buy you donuts. But I'm still upset!

Kotoko: eh that doesn't matter don't you agree?

Soulbound: ok remember gp lets go easy on her

Gp: got it I'll be gentle with her

Background music stops

Soulbound: don't say that!

Gp: what gentle?

Soulbound: yes, stop saying that!

Gp: why? What's wrong with gentle?

Soulbound: she doesn't like that word

Gp: but why?

Soulbound: STOP SAYING GENTLE!

Gp: NOW YOU SAID GENTLE

Soulbound: AAAAAHHHHH

Gp: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Kotoko: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Well, that's how the battle began and soulbound knew what to do pulling out his cutlass again

[SOULBOUND]
here we go again…

Well I know what's right
I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushing' me around
But I stand my ground
and I won't back down
Hey buddy, there ain't no easy way out
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

No, I won't back down

And like that the robot went down with ease
