DANGANRONPA: SECOND CHANCE

CHAPTER 1: DAILY LIFE

GATE TO A DESPAIRFUL WORLD

Naegi was walking around a dark place, with seemingly no light whatsoever. He kept walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking for what seemed like hours. Eventually, he saw… something. No, more like… someone

Mayzono…

Mayzono was laying on the floor, covered in blood… Dead

Makoto: "W-what…?"

Naegi didn't know what to say, to do, to think… He failed.

He failed to protect her… Again… For the second time

Makoto:"Nononononononono…"

Then, after he blinked, it was complete darkness again

He woke up. It was all a nightmare

Makoto: "Oh, god…Fuck…"

It was the next morning and Naegi looked like shit. He entered the dining hall and took a seat

Chihiro: "Naegi, are you okay?"

Makoto: "I'm fine, Fujisaki. Just had a nightmare"

Chihiro: "Do you feel like talking about it?"

Makoto: "... I saw Mayozono's dead body…"

Fujisaki widened her eyes a bit before saying:

"Oh… I'll…Leave you to calm down for a bit"

And left him alone

Naegi sighed, before grabbing the hand that was about to pinch his left cheek without even looking, then looked at who said hand belongs to. It was Enoshima

Junko: "What the?!"

Makoto: "I'm psychic, dummy"

Junko: "Oh, yeah. I forgot. Hehe!"

Naegi facepalmed

Makoto: "Anyway, what was it you wanted?"

Junko: "Oh, yeah! I noticed you were a lil' bummed out, so i decided to cheer you up!"

Makoto: "Cheer me up, huh?...You don't have to do that. Like i told Fujisaki, i'm fine"

Junko. "We went over this yesterday. You're not fine, whatsoever. If you bottle your emotions, then-"

Makoto: "Then what? I worry everyone? I rather keep to myself instead of worrying everyone for no reason"

Junko: "Alright, depressed boy, that's it!"

Makoto: "What do yo-"

Naegi couldn't finish his sentence due to being dragged by Enoshima towards the dorms

Makoto: "Wha-, Enoshima! Let me go!"

Junko: "Nope! I'm not leaving you alone until you feel better!"

Suddenly, the sprinting Enoshime bumped into someone. And that someone was… Mayzono

Makoto: "Mayzono, help me! This feral beast isn't letting me go!"

Junko: "Excuse me?! Feral beast?!?!"

Sayaka: "What… Am i witnessing?"

Junko: "Mr. Saiki K, over here, is feeling bad, but doesn't want to worry us, so he keeps to himself! I wanted to try and talk to him so he would feel better! But he keeps resisting!"

Sayaka: "And you're forcing him?"

Makoto: "Thank you, Mayz-"

Sayaka: "Without asking me to help?"

Makoto: "... Huh?"

Sayaka: "He'a depressed and wants to keep it to himself?"

Junko: "Yes!"

Sayaka: "We're not gonna let him go until he feels better, are we?"

Junko: "Nope!"

Makoto: Lord, save me from this hell

Needless to say, Naegi didn't really have much free will for the next 3 hours

After what felt like years, he was finally freed from the girls and decided to hang out with someone that won't scold him for hours

Makoto: Now, who to hang out with?... Know what? I'll hang out with her

Naegi approached Fukawa and tried talking to her

Makoto: "Hello, Fukawa"

Toko: "A-ah!"

Makoto: "Is there something wrong?"

Toko: "W-why are you t-talking to me?"

Makoto: "I noticed you haven't really talked with anyone since we got trapped in here, so i decided to keep you company"

Toko: "W-whatever, i d-don't care…"

Makoto: "..."

Toko: "..."

Makoto: "...Ok, i have to break the silence. Can't we talk about something?"

Toko: "L-like what?"

Makoto: "Something like…"

VIDEO GAMES

BOOKS

SPORTS

ANSWER: BOOKS

Makoto: "How about books? You're the Ultimate Writing Prodigy, afterall"

Toko: "H-Huh? Y-you remembered that? "

Makoto: "Of course I did! You're my classmate, at the end of the day. I feel like I should at least know why we're even classmates in the first place"

Toko: "O-ok, we can t-talk"

And so, me and Fukawa started talking about books Fukawa wrote and I read. Turns out, some of my favorite books are written by her

WRITER'S NOTE:

I have 2 things to say

1: I will not be adding Mono coins, the monomono machine, nor will I be adding presents. Why? I usually skip FTEs, so I decided to make Makoto have some FTEs, but also skip a few. Plus, those 3 things can go fuck themselves

2: The way everything is chosen will be by a wheel. The wheel controls FTEs, victims, culprits, other things and even who objects in Class Trials. For your information, the wheel already decided the victim and blackened of the first chapter, and I gotta say… Damn. That's it, that's all you get.

Anyway, back to the story

After talking with Fukawa, Naegi went back to his dorm and laid in bed for 15 minutes, before someone started knocking on his door

Naegi got up and opened the door to see…

Makoto: "Can I help you, Yamada?"

Hifumi: "Well, you certainly can! We are inviting you to play a game of DnD!"

Makoto: "You found a way to play DnD? And who's 'We'?"

Hifumi: "Me, Mr. Togami and Mr. Hagakure are going to have a campaign, and we decided to invite you as well! And I asked Monokuma for it"

Makoto: "OK, I understand… Wait…I understand Hagakure playing, but Togami?"

Hifumi: "He said something about 'losing a bet with the princess', I think?"

Makoto: "That explains it. Sure, why not?"

Hifumi: "Splendid! You shall be a fine bard for our party!"

Makoto: "Hold on, bard? I usually play rogue"

Hifumi: "Well, then. Rogue it is! To the dungeon!"

And so, I played a game of DnD With Yamada as the DM, Togami as the mage, me as the rogue and Hagakure as the ranger. Honestly? It was fun. I wouldn't mind doing it again

And so, Naegi went back to his room a few hours later, after defeating a ice golem in which their party's ranger tried to seduce, which actually worked. Holy shit, was that funny. I swear, I saw Togami crack a small smile

Naegi had some free time, but he was a bit tired, so he took a nap

A few hours later, Naegi gets woken up by an announcement

"Ahem! Hope's Peak Academy has an announcement to make! Please head to the gym as early as you can! Keep in mind, participation isn't mandatory, but It is recommended you come and see what it is!"

And so, Naegi went over to the gym, where he noticed only 11 people, including himself, were there, with 4 missing

These 4 in question were Fujisaki, Kuwata, Kirigiri and Owada

After a few minutes of waiting, Monokuma sprung out of nowhere and started talking

Monokuma: "This is a problem! A big, big problem!"

Toko: "W-what is it?"

Monokuma: "No killings are happening! It's been a week and a half and no one died! How?"

Makoto: "No one here will die, and that's a promise"

Monokuma: "I know! I just need to give you a motive!"

Aoi: "A… Motive?"

Hiro: "To… Kill?"

Monokuma: "Exactly! That is why I gathered you here! To warn you about the motive!"

Enoshima: "Warn us?"

Monokuma: "The motive will begin tomorrow morning, so I decided to warn you a bit early. The motive is quite simple… Body swapping"

Taka: "B-body swapping?!"

Monokuma: "Exactomundo! Starting tomorrow morning, 2 people will have their bodies switched for 24 hours, changing back the next day, with another pair taking their place. Now, you might be thinking 'How could that help us kill, Monokuma?', we'll, I'll tell ya' how! If someone switches bodied with someone else, kills someone and switches back before the body is found, the person who's body they borrowed will be deemed as the blackened! Even if the blackened gets caught, the true killer will still survive! But if the blackened body isn't found, then both mind and body of the blackened will be able to escape! A double escape is possible, folks!"

Makoto: W-what? This is… Different. Why is it different? We were supposed to see motive videos, not… This!

Celeste: "So, starting tomorrow, 2 people will be in eachother's bodies?"

I swear, I could see Yamada mouth 'That's what she said'

Monokuma: "You are correct, Kakegurui rip off!"

Celeste: "Kake… What?"

Monokuma: "Nothing, don't mind the reference. Anyway, that is all! Good night, students~!"

And so, with a bit of a heavy atmosphere, we started going back to the dorms

On the way back, someone asked me

Taka: "Naegi, can you forsee something about the motive?"

Makoto: "I can't activate it at will. If I see, I see. If I don't, I don't. If I do see something, I'll notify everyone"

Taka: "Thank you, Naegi"

Makoto: "No problem, Ishimaru"

And so, we all parted ways and went to bed, hearing the night time announcement as Naegi entered his room

He went to bed, woke up the next morning without any more nightmares, and went to the dining hall

Makoto: "Does anyone know who the 2 that swapped were?"

Toko: "I do. Me and Fukawa have appeared to have swapped bodies"

Makoto: "And you are…"

Toko: "Kyoko Kirigiri"

Kyoko: "A-and I'm T-Toko F-Fukawa"

Makoto: "OK, so, Kirigiri is Fukawa and Fukawa is Kirigiri"

Toko (Kyoko): "That is correct"

Kyoko: (Toko): "Y-yeah"

Mondo: "OK, now what? Do we supervise them, or…"

Makoto: "Actually, I doubt that's necessary"

Celeste: "How so?"

Makoto: "No offense, Fukawa, but you're too shy to even kill a spider, let alone a human being"

Kyoko (Toko): "U-understandable"

Makoto: "And… I trust Kirigiri"

Leon: "That's it? You just trust her?"

Makoto: "Sometimes, instead of seeing the future, I feel the future. Right now, I feel that I won't regret the fact I trust Kirigiri to not supervise her"

Taka: "If Naegi trusts her, then I do too!"

Byakuya: "I actually agree with his pretty flawed logic"

Hiro: "Well, doesn't matter, no one's gonna die, anyways!"

Toko (Kyoko): "Thank you, Naegi"

Makoto: "Anytime, Kirigiri"

I smile a bit and I see Kirigiri smile juuuuuust a bit. I mean, technically, I saw Fukawa smile, but you know what I meant!

And so, Naegi had some free time again, so he decided to hang out with some. That someone being…

Makoto: "Hoy, Ogami!"

Sakura: "Hm? What is it, Naegi?"

Makoto: Jesus, she's intimidating "I just wondered if you wanted to hang out a bit"

Sakura: "Hm. Alright, then. What shall we do or talk about?"

Makoto: "Hmmm… Oh! I know! How about-"

And so, me and Ogami talked about whatever for some time, before i went back to my dorm

Naegi still had some free time, so he decided he would hang out with…

Makoto: "Yamada! Hey!"

Hifumi: "Oh? You're approaching me?"

Makoto: "Yeah? I wanted to hang out with you"

Writers note:

Yes, I will add References every once in a while, why do you ask?

Hifumi: "And what will we do while… 'hanging out'?"

Makoto: "I don't know. Talk, I guess"

Hifumi: "About what?"

Makoto: "Maybe about…"

Dungeons and Dragons

Exercise

Food

Answer: Dungeons and Dragons

Makoto: "How about we talk about our next campaign?"

Yamada's eyes lit up a bit

Hifumi: "Yes! You are right, Rogue! We shall start planning our next adventure!"

And so, Naegi and Yamada started talking about DnD and their next campaign

After a little while, it became nighttime, with Naegi's and Yamada's conversation being cut short by it

Naegi bid his farewell to Yamada and headed back to his dorm, meeting… Someone outside his room

Makoto: "Mayzono?"

Sayaka: "Ah! Naegi!"

Makoto: "Why are you waiting outside my dorm?"

Sayaka: "Well, i wanted to talk"

Makoto: "About…"

Sayaka: "I… I'm scared, Naegi"

Makoto: "..."

Sayaka: "What if… What if someone dies? What will we do?"

Makoto: "Mayzono…"

Sayaka: "What if- What if-"

Mayzono is interrupted by Naegi hugging her

Makoto: "No one's gonna die. I promise you"

Sayaka: "..."

Instead of responding, Mayzono simply returned the hug and kept quiet

Junko: "..."

Enoshima smiles and walks away, deciding to talk to Naegi another time

After a few seconds, the 2 stop hugging

Makoto: "You should get some rest, it's late"

Sayaka: "O…ok. Good night"

Makoto: "Night!"

Then, Mayzono went to her dorm, which was next to Naegi's, and so did Naegi to his

After came sleeping time, which passed by without any trouble, but Naegi seemed a bit tired

After freshening up a bit, Naegi went to the dining hall

On the way there, he started thinking on who might be the new pair that have switched bodies

After coming in, he noticed he was the last one to enter, so he said

Makoto: "Same thing as last time, don't ask me why i'm late"

Ishimaru sat down

Makoto: "So, i just have to check. Fukawa, Kirigiri, are you two okay?"

Kyoko: "I certainly am"

Toko: "M-me t-too"

Makoto: "Okay, then. Does anyone know who the new pair is?"

Taka: "I do"

Makoto: "You do? Who is it?"

Taka: "Me and Sayaka switched"

Makoto: "You and… Wait… You're Mayzono, aren't you?"

Taka (Sayaka): "Mhm"

Makoto: "Then, i assume the Mayzono sitting at the table is Ishimaru"

Sayaka (Taka): "You are correct"

Makoto: "Ok, then. Same as last time, i don't feel like we should supervise them"

Byakuya: "Another feeling?"

Makoto: "Nope! I'm going with my gut this time!"

Byakuya: "So you don't have any proof we don't have to supervise them?"

Makoto: "I don't believe Ishimaru would kill anyone, and i trust Mayzono"

Byakuya: "Purely by instinct?"

Makoto: "You can't talk. You don't trust anyone here, so you don't have any reason to vouch for someone. I do, and i will vouch for them if i have to"

Byakuya: "You are going to be one of the first to die"

Makoto: "We're sorry, the Makoto you're trying to reach is trying to keep 15 students, including himself, alive in a fucking killing game. Please try again after getting flipped the blue bird"

Naegi proceeded to flip off Togami

Byakuya: "Tch…"

The arrogant blonde walked away

Makoto: "Now that that's taken care of, does anyone have ideas on what to do?"
