(NOTE: Hey guys! I just want to say thanks for 100 views on Danganronpa D&B! It means a lot that over 100 people decided to check out my story! Hope you guys enjoy chapter four's deadly life! And be on the look out for the major twist for the case!)
Rubble's POV
The person dead was Flame the Ultimate Chef! His body was up against the wall. There was a big pool of blood around him. There was a butcher knife stuck in his back. Also his two front feet were cut off. Then the ding dong bing bong sound played. Then Monokuma said in the speakers, "A bodyhas been found! Please meet at the chemistry lab for further instructions!". The body discovery announcement? But only me and Blue found the body, that's only two people! That's strange, why announce it before the third innocent came. For now that's the least of my problems. Why did Flame have to die?
Blue had tears in his eyes. He said, "N-Not again! Why?!". Ender quickly teleported in and was about to say something but then he saw the body. Rainer ran in and said, "Who died this ti-". She then noticed Flame's body. Seeing that her youngest brother dead must've got to her. She was just still, with tears in her eyes. She wasn't saying a single word. It took around five to eight minutes for everyone else to show up.
Carrie asked, "R-Rainer are you ok?". She finally spoke, she asked, "Who did it?". Zeke asked, "Huh?". Rainer aggressively yelled, "WHO IS THE JERK WHO KILLED MY BROTHER?!". Ender said, "R-Rainer calm down! Remember what you kept telling Flame about Jolt's-". She interrupted him by aggressively yelling, "HOW CAN I BE 'CALM'?! BOTH OF MY BROTHERS ARE NOW DEAD! FLAME WAS THE ONLY FAMILY I HAD WITH ME IN THIS SCHOOL LEFT! NOW HE'S GONE BECAUSE ONE OF YOU KILLED HIM!". Monokuma said, "She's right you know!".
He popped out of the floor and said, "A student has killed Flame the Ultimate Chef! Aw man, who'll cook your meals now.". Rainer aggressively demanded, "YOU BETTER TELL ME WHO DID THIS NOW! OR I'LL-". Monokuma said, "You'll what? You know attacking the headmaster is breaking the rules and punishment will be given immediately! So you'd be a dumb leader if you'd attack me!". Rainer backed off and grumbled. Monokuma then continued, "Now you'll have to investigate and after a certain amount of time the class trial will begin!". Kamek asked, "And we'll get a Monokuma File?". Monokuma said, "Yup! Anyway, have fun investigating!". He jumped and went through the floor and disappeared.
Sonic asked, "So Rainer should we do what we usually do?". Rainer aggressively said, "YEAH! WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHO DID THIS!". Blue said, "Um, I don't think Rainer should investigate. She's too emotional to focus.". Rainer said, "I can investigate! I'll find out who did this! Kamek, do you care if you do this autopsy alone?". Kamek said, "N-No I don't care.". Rainer went off to find clues. Blue said, "Hey bud, is it ok if you take the lead for this case? I don't think Rainer should be alone right now.". I said, "Yeah I'm ok with that. I agree that Rainer shouldn't be by herself.". Blue wished me good luck and left to catch up with Rainer.
I knew something weird was going on with Flame. The thing that was bothering Flame might be connected to his death. I should also take the fact that the body discovery announcement was played when two people found Flame into account. I walked over to Zeke who was spraying the ground. Zeke noticed me then said, "Hey Rubble.". I said, "Hey Zeke! Are there any footprints?". Zeke said, "Not yet. I circled the body and there was nothing but his paw prints.". He went to the door and sprayed the ground. The spray found paw prints going in a different direction from the body.
Zeke said, "I think I found more of Flame's pawprints!". Luckily I followed him. I said, "I agree with you. But where does the trial lead?". Zeke said, "Looks like it goes to the opposite side of the room where the body is.". He followed the trail. At one point the trail looks like Flame walked backwards. The backwards trail led to where he died. I asked, "Did he walk backwards?". Zeke said, "Don't know but it's suspicious.". I said, "I agree. I'm going to check the autopsy. Please let me know if you find the killer's footprints.". Zeke said, "Got it!".

I walked up to Kamek. Kamek said, "I'm not used to you doing Blue's job.". I said, "Yeah, but I know I can handle it. Anyway, what can you tell me?". Kamek said, "Well I'm pretty sure you can see the first thing. The killer cut off his two front feet. That must have made him lose his footing and fell against the wall.". I said, "Yikes!". He then asked me, "Have you read the Monokuma File yet?". I said, "No I forgot to. Let me do it real quick!". I grabbed my handbook and looked at the Monokuma File. It showed a picture of Flame, and it showed his injuries. It said that he was stabbed in his back and a lost both of his front feet. Also, it said he was burned on his back leg. The time of death was 8:30 pm. The cause of death said it was blood loss!
Truth Bullet: Monokuma #5
I said, "H-He died during the talent show?". Kamek said, "That is a confusing situation. Wasn't everyone at the talent show?". I said, "And Sonic was standing guard. Flame was the only one that Sonic let out…". Kamek said, "There was also a big burn mark on his back left leg. I believe they came from the dangerous chemicals. There was one that can dangerously burn the skin if exposed. It's called C-6. There's also glass sticking out of his leg which proves that the chemicals were used on him.". I asked, "But how did the killer get the chemical?". Kamek said, "I don't know! I never let anyone get the key to the lock that I found in the storage room!". I said, "I'll look into that in a little bit.".
Truth Bullet: Chemical C-6
Kamek said, "There is more. The murder weapon is most likely the butcher knife left in his back.". As I looked at the butcher knife, I noticed something on the wall behind his front left leg. I grabbed and moved his leg. It showed "lST" written on the wall in blood. Kamek said, "He must have written a dying message! Makes sense, just like Jolt, Flame's mouth was duct tape shut.". I said, "We must figure out what Flame is trying to say with his last message.". Kamek said, "It says LST but the L is lower case. What does that even mean? Anyway this is everything I found so far". After he said that, I grabbed Flame's handbook and said, "I'm gonna borrow this. I have an idea that might help.". Kamek said, "Ok?".
Truth Bullet: Butcher Knife
Truth Bullet: Dying Message
I said, "OK, I'm going to check out the cabinet now.". I went over to the cabinet. There were three cabinets, A, B, and C. Cabinets A and B didn't have lethal and dangerous chemicals, but Cabinet C did. The lock was put on Cabinet C but it wasn't on the cabinet door anymore. The lock was on the floor, broken. I asked, "What was used to break the lock and why did they do it?". Maybe the killer must have hid the tool somewhere else. Maybe a different room. I said, "Maybe I should check the other rooms…". So, I exited the lab.
Truth Bullet: Broken Lock
I wanted to check the classrooms, since they were closest to the chemistry lab. I walked in classroom 4a first. I looked all around the classroom. I searched every desk, under every chair, and every corner. There was nothing, so I went to search the other classroom, classroom 4b. When I entered the classroom, I basically did what I did in the last room. I searched every desk, under every chair, and every corner. Just like in the last classroom, I found nothing. I was about to leave since it seemed like there was nothing there but then I noticed something. It was a wooden mallet in the trash can.
I grabbed the wooden mallet from the trash can. I asked, "What is this mallet doing in the trash can? And where did it come from?". Then I realized a possible place it could have come from. The storage room. The storage room has more than just food. It has clothes, tools and more for life in the school. This mallet has something to do with this case. I can feel it! I should also keep this on me for now. Maybe it'll become useful for the trial. I took the mallet and walked out the classroom.
Truth Bullet: Wooden Mallet
Since I have Flame's handbook, maybe I should search his dorm for any clues? I went down stairs and I bumped into Blue and Rainer. Blue said, "Oh Rubble, hey! Glad we found you!". I said, "Yeah! Hey, did you two find anything?". Rainer said, "Yeah! We checked the kitchen and none of the butcher knives are missing.". I asked, "What?! None of them are missing?! But there's a butcher knife at the crime scene!". Blue said, "Yeah we know. We were going back to the chemistry lab to look at the knife.". I said, "Well you guys go on ahead. I got some places to check myself.". Blue said, "Ok, good luck!". I said, "You guys too!". They headed up the stairs and I headed for the dorms.
Truth Bullet: No Missing Knives
If there's no butcher knives missing, then where did that one come from? The only other place I could think of is Flappy's room. Maybe I should find a way to get in there. I went into Flame's dorm. Now that piece of trash Flame found has to be in here somewhere. I know that 'trash' isn't trash at all, it's a clue. I first checked his trash can but no luck. I then checked his bed, over and under but nothing there either. I checked his bathroom but no luck. I lastly checked his desk and luckily I found it in his desk's drawer. The thing Flame hid from me is a letter. Does every murder case have to have a letter?! I thought it was addressed to him but when I read it, I was wrong. It said…
Dear Rainer, I would appreciate it if you meet me in the chemistry lab! There is a serious discussion we need to address! Meet me at 8:20 pm. -Your Brother Flame
It's from Flame to Rainer? Why would Flame have it, if it's for Rainer? This letter is fishy! Ok, I got what I was looking for in Flame's dorm. Now I need to find a way into Flappy's dorm. Since we can't use his handbook, I need to find another way in. Then I realized that we have the Ultimate Teleporter! I need to find Ender! I went off to find Ender.
Truth Bullet: Suspicious Note
I eventually found him and Carrie in the faculty office. I walked up to him and asked, "Hey Ender, can I ask you for a favor?". Ender said, "Oh sure, what's up?". I asked, "Can you teleport me into Flappy's dorm? There is something I wanna check.". Ender said, "Sure, we'll be back Carrie.". Carrie said, "Ok, be careful guys.". I said, "You be careful too.". I grabbed Ender's hand or arm and we teleported away.
We were in Flappy's dorm as fast as a snap of a finger. Ender asked me, "So what do you wanna check?". I said, "Remember the butcher knife that he used to kill Kenny? Well I'm here to see where he hid it.". Ender said, "Oh! I actually found the hiding spot.". I asked, "Y-You did?!". Ender said, "Yeah. I left it there so no one could use it for murder ever again. I'll grab it for you.". As he went to grab it, I went to Flappy's desk. I opened the draws because there was something else I was curious about. I opened the draw and I found a handbook. When I turned it on, it revealed that it belonged to Kenny.
Why did he hide Kenny's handbook in his dorm? Maybe I should look into this. When Ender came back, he had a worried look on his face. I asked him, "Is everything ok?". He said, "It's gone. The butcher knife is gone!". I said, "It's gone? Do you have an idea where it went?". Ender said, "NO! I know that the last time I checked it was there!". I said, "T-Thanks for checking. This information might help.". Then we teleported away. I asked him to teleport me into the dorm hallway.
Truth Bullet: Flappy's Missing Butcher Knife
After Ender teleported away, I wanted to check Kenny's dorm. Since Kenny's handbook was hidden in Flappy's dorm, there might be something in there. Flappy might've hidden something there so he wouldn't get caught. When I entered the dorm, I looked around. Mostly I found nothing but when I got to the desk. I found a journal, it belonged to Kenny. I took it and read it a little. The information from it is very interesting. It said that when Kenny was born, he was cursed! His curse is that death is impossible for him. What does that mean? I don't know but it's good to keep in mind. I should also keep the journal on me. I took the Journal and left the dorm.
Truth Bullet: Kenny's Journal
I went back to the fourth floor and headed towards the chemistry lab. Sonic and Tails walked up to me. Sonic asked, "Hey Rubble! Where's Blue, aren't you two a detective duo now?". I said, "I'm taking the lead because of Rainer…". Tails said, "Oh yeah. Anyway we think we found a clue!". I asked, "What did you two find?". Sonic said, "We found a piece of cloth.". Tails showed me the cloth. I said, "The cloth is orange?". Tails said, "I believe it belongs to someone's shirt.". I asked, "Where did you find it?". Sonic said, "Well when you went downstairs, we went into the lab and found this. Also, Zeke is looking for you as well.". I said, "Thanks for the information!".
Truth Bullet: Orange Cloth
I went to the chemistry lab and found Zeke. Zeke said, "Rubble! Glad to see you! I found two things!". I asked, "What did you find?". He said, "First I found a trail of footprints from the door directly to the cabinets. Second I found a trail of footprints from the wall to where Flame's paw prints walk backwards.". I was confused by the second thing. I asked, "Can you show me the second thing?". We walked to the part of Flame's trail that went backwards. There was a trail of footprints that started from like a feet of the wall.
I looked up and there was an opened air vent. I said, "Do you think the person came from the opened air vent?". Zeke said, "Yeah, I do think that.". I said, "So the killer also went to the cabinet after coming in from the vents…". Zeke said, "No, that isn't true.". I asked, "What do you mean by that?". Zeke said, "The sizes of both trails I found are different sizes. The ones that lead to the cabinet are bigger than these ones. I don't think they're from the same person.". I said, "I'll take that into account.".
Truth Bullet: Unknown Trail
Truth Bullet: Opened Air Vent
Then the ding dong bing bong sound appeared. Please don't let this be another body discovery announcement! Then Monokuma said, "IT'S CLASS TRIAL TIME! Please meet at the elevator! Once everyone is there, you can enter the elevator!". Zeke said, "Let's get this stupid trial over with!". So we went to the elevator. It took everyone around six to ten minutes to get there. Once everyone got there, we all went down to the trial room. One of us ten killed Flame the Ultimate Chef! He was kind person who just wanted to help take care of all of us. Our lives are on the line once again! This time it's all up to me! Is this the same pressure Blue felt before I started helping him? Doesn't matter, I need to solve this! I need to do this for everyone! Especially Rainer! Don't worry Rainer, I'll find out who killed your brother! It's time to begin our fourth class trial!
We all arrived at the class trial room. We took our seats and were ready to begin. Of course, Skylar's and Flame's seats are replaced with death portraits. Monokuma said, "Let me give you all a reminder about the rules of the class trials. You all must find out who killed Flame the Ultimate Chef! If you find out who did it, only they will be punished. If you pick poorly, then everyone but the blackened will be punished! And the blackened will graduate! Any questions?". Rainer aggressively said, "Yeah, can we start now?! I want to find out who killed my brother!". Monokuma said, "Ok, let the class trial BEGIN!". Blue said, "Let's start with the murder weapon!". Let's begin and reveal the truth!
Non-Stop Debate: Rainer stated, "Do we need to talk about the weapon? Didn't we already see it sticking out of (sniff) Flame…". Kamek said, "Yeah, it's obviously a butcher knife!". Carrie asked, "But where did it come from?". Zeke said, "The killer, duh!". Tails said, "I'm pretty sure she meant what room.". Red Yoshi asked, "Does the storage room have butcher knives in it?". Blue said, "Once Flame told me that the storage has no knives in it.". I said, "Yeah, I overheard Flame saying that.". Sonic said, "Then it clearly came from the kitchen-". I yelled, "You're wrong!". The non-stop debate has ended.
Truth Bullet Used: No Missing Knives
I said, "Blue and Rainer has already revealed that the only butcher knife missing is the one Flappy stole!". Blue said, "That is correct, the only place that Flame said that has butcher knives was the knife display.". Rainer said, "Of course we checked that and like Rubble said, only the butcher knife that was used to kill Kenny was gone.". Kamek asked, "Then where did the butcher knife come from?". Blue said, "That's what we'll figure out!".
Non-Stop Debate: Red Yoshi asked, "So if it's not from the kitchen then where did it come from?". Kamek siad, "Yeah that's what I asked!". Sonic asked, "Is there any other place that could have knives?". Blue said, "No, Flame revealed that to me right before Jolt's death. He even showed me where every knife is located. The kitchen is the only place that had butcher knives.". I said, 'No! That's wrong!". The non-stop debate has ended.
Truth Bullet Used: Flappy's Missing Butcher Knife
I said, 'Blue, you're wrong! There is one more place that had a butcher knife!". Kamek said, "That's so stupid! Blue and Flame said that there are no other places that have butcher knives!". Zeke said, "Yeah, I agree with the wizard.". I said, "To have you guys realize what I mean, I think we should go back to the first case.". Blue said, "Well the victim was Kenny. He was decapitated with a butcher knife. The killer who turned out to be Flappy. Didn't put the butcher knife back. He must've hid it…in his room!".
Sonic said, "So the butcher knife that was used to kill Flame must be the same butcher knife that was used in case one!". Carrie said, "So it came from Flappy's room!". I said, "Correct! The butcher knife couldn't come from the kitchen. Blue and Rainer confirmed that. The storage room has no knives at all. There's no other answer!". Tails said, "That makes sense!". Kamek yelled, "NO IT DOESN'T!".
Rebuttal: Me and Kamek got sent to the rebuttal arena. I said, "Ow! Huh Kamek?". Kamek said, "There's no way your theory is correct! It doesn't make sense and it doesn't seem possible!". I said, "I guess I need to show you the truth!". Kamek came at me and said, "There's no way, the butcher knife didn't come from the kitchen!". I dodged his swing. I said, "Blue and Rainer checked the kitchen, and there was nothing missing!". I went in for the swing but he dodged me. He said, "It could've come from the storage room then!". I dodged his attack again. I said, "Blue told me that Flame said that the kitchen is the only room that has knives!". I went in for the swing but he dodged me again.
He said, "By that logic, Flame revealed that the kitchen is the only place that has knives! That proves your theory wrong!". I dodged his attack once again. I said, "Don't you remember, we never found the butcher knife that Flappy used! We all assumed that he hid it in his dorm!". I went in for the swing but he dodged me. He said, "But no one can say for certain that the knife was hidden in his dorm though!". He went in for the swing but I blocked it with my poolstick. I said, "There is one person! The person who found it after trial one!". He said, "W-What?!". I pushed him off the arena. The rebuttal has ended.
Kamek said, "There's someone that can say that the knife was hidden in the dorm?!". Ender said, "Yeah that would be me! After case one I was curious where the professor hid the knife. So I looked and found the hiding place.". Sonic asked, "Why didn't you put the knife back on the display?". Ender said, "Well, I thought it would be safer if I leave it in the hiding place so it won't get used for murder again. Plus I thought it would make everyone feel uncomfortable if the murder weapon was in the kitchen.". Zeke asked, "How do we know for a fact that the butcher knife that was used is the same one that the duck stole?". I said, "I had Ender teleport me into Flappy's dorm so we can check.". Ender said, "And when I checked the hiding place, it was gone!".
Carrie yelled, "IT WAS STOLEN?". Blue said, "How?! No one could get access into his dorm!". Kamek said, "Except one person. Luckily they outed themselves!". Red Yoshi asked, "W-Who?". Kamek said, "Ender the Ultimate Teleporter!". He pointed to Ender and multiple people gasped. Carrie and Ender both yelled, "WHAT?!". Blue asked, "Why do you think that Ender is the killer?!". Carrie said, "Yeah! Ender wouldn't kill anyone!". Zeke said, "You said that about Skylar too. And you were wrong but I agree. Ender has no motive to kill!". Kamek said, "Like Blue said, 'No one could get access into his dorm!'. The only way that someone could get in Flappy's room was teleportation!".
Ender said, "That's true, teleportation could get you in but I wouldn't do this!". Carrie said, "Yeah! Ender wouldn't do this! He had no motive!". Blue said, "Yeah! What could be the reason why he'd kill!". Rainer said, "Kamek's statement makes sense. Plus Monokuma's motive could be the reason.". Kamek said, "Exactly!". Some people were considering agreeing with Kamek. Blue said, "There's gotta be a way to prove Ender's innocence!". I realized what to do, I sighed and said, "Ugh looks like our decisions are split….". Monokuma giggled excitedly and said, "Did someone say split?". I said, "Yeah, yeah I did! Let's get this over with already!". We all left to go to the scrum debate area.
Scrum Debate: When we all arrived Monokuma said "Go on the left if you think Ender's teleportation is the only way to get in! Go on the right if you think there is another way to get in!". The left side had Kamek, Rainer, Tails, Zeke, and Red Yoshi. The right side had me, Blue, Ender, Carrie, and Sonic. Monokuma said, "Ok, let the scrum debate BEGIN!".
Kamek: "Ender is the Ultimate Teleporter and he knew where Flappy hid the knife! Connect the dots, people!". Sonic: "There is no reason for him to kill though!". Red Yoshi: "Don't forget about the motive Monokuma gave us! He could have done this to get to his family!". Carrie: "Us hostile minecraft mobs don't really have parents or siblings since we just spawn out of thin air!". Zeke: "That is true but what about friends?". Ender: "Do you think my friends would like me to kill someone? Plus 3/5 of my best friends joined me in this killing game!".
Rainer: "He is the only one who knows where the butcher knife was!". Blue: "Someone could've found it by accident!". Me: "Or they could've been looking for it!". Tails: "That could be a possibility but there is no other way that someone could get in!". Kamek: "Yeah, his handbook is broken, remember?!". Zeke: "No, there could be a way.". Zeke then came to our side. Zeke: "I believe Ender! Because there is a piece of evidence that me and Rubble found!". I then realized what he meant. Kamek: "What is it then?". Me: "The real killer could've entered through the air vents!". Kamek: "WHAT?!". Me, Blue, Carrie, Ender, Sonic, and Zeke: "THIS IS OUR ANSWER!". The scrum debate has ended.
Truth Bullet Used: Opened Air Vent
Tails confusion said, "They entered through the air vent?". Rainer said, "What evidence do you have for that claim?". Zeke said, "While searching the crime scene the air vent was opened.". I continued, "And it looks like a trail of footprints came from the wall the air vent is on. So, the killer must have entered the chemistry lab from the air vent!". Blue said, "And if the killer entered the crime scene from the air vents, they could've entered Flappy's dorm from there too!". Kamek said, "Ender could've entered through there then! Maybe he wanted to make himself look less suspicious.". Zeke said, "Ender is too tall to enter the air vent.". Carrie said, "So that proves Ender's innocence!". Kamek said, "Ok, I'm sorry for accusing you.". He sounded sarcastic.
Tails said, "I just realized, who found the body?". Red Yoshi said, "Oh Yeah! We could get rid of suspects!". I said, "Me and Blue found Flame.". Zeke said, "But that's only two people?". Sonic asked, "Was there another person there?". I said, "No, the body discovery announcement was played when me and Blue found him.". Tails said, "That means that someone found the body and left the room.". Kamek asked, "Who else found the body?". No one answered. Ender said, "One of us is lying about seeing the body!". Rainer sadly said, "M-Maybe we should talk about the status of the body.". Blue said, "Good idea! That is our next topic!".
Non-Stop Debate: Blue asked, "Kamek can you tell us about the autopsy?". Kamek said, "Well the butcher knife is stuck in him pretty good.". Rainer looked away and cried a little. Kamek continued, "Just like Jolt, Flame's mouth was covered with duct tape.". Blue said, "So he wouldn't alert anyone.". Kamek said, "His front paws were chopped off.". Carrie asked, "W-Why did they do that?". I said, "Probably so Flame couldn't run!". Kamek said, "He has a big burn mark on his back left leg.". Sonic said, "He got burned". Rainer asked, "But how did he get burnt?". Zeke said, "Yeah there's nothing in that lab that could do that!". I said, "That's not true!". The non-stop has ended.
Truth Bullet Used: Chemical C-6
I said, "Sorry Zeke, but you're wrong!". Rainer asked, "If he's wrong, then you know something that could've burned Flame?". I said, "Yes, I do. You all know the cabinets? Well cabinet c had very dangerous chemicals.". Blue asked, "Didn't Kamek lock those away?". I said, "Yes but someone broke the lock and opened the cabinet. I know someone broke in since the lock was found on the floor broken". Tails asked, "But do we have an idea what chemical was used on him though?". Kamek said, "Yeah, I examined it and determined that Chemical C-6 was used.". Blue asked, "But what was used to break the lock?". Rainer said, "That's our next topic!".
Non-Stop Debate: Blue asked, "What was used to break the lock?". Zeke said, "Could it be the butcher knife?". Kamek said, "I doubt that the killer had the knife at the time.". Sonic said, "Yeah, pretty sure someone would've seen them bring the butcher knife upstairs.". Tails said, "Maybe they could've brought it through the air vents?". Zeke said, "No, there are some footprints that went straight to the cabinet.". Rainer suggested, "Maybe Kamek was the one who broke it. He does know a lot about those chemicals.". Blue asked, "Why would he break it if he has the key?". I said, "Don't say he unlocked it since the lock was found broken.".
Ender said, "So picking the lock is out of the question.". Carrie asked, "Do we have any clues on the tool?". Ender suggested, "How about we list tools that could've been used?". Blue said, "Good idea!". I know the answer, but I need to think back on all the clues that were found! Carrie suggested, "Maybe a pickaxe?". Sonic said, "A blowtorch could work!". Red Yoshi said, "How about a hammer?". I said, "I agree with that!". The non-stop debate has ended.
Truth Bullet Used: Wooden Mallet
I said, "I found a wooden hammer in a room close to the lab! I was thinking that it was used and then hidden.". Rainer said, "So then why did Flame go to the chemistry lab?". Sonic said, "Yeah and what time?". Tails said, "Uh Sonic, the Monokuma File said he died at 8:30 pm. So it was around the talent show.". Sonic said, "That was around the time he asked me to go to the kitchen! Why would he lie?". I said, "Probably because of the reason why he went to the lab!". Carrie said, "But we don't know his reason! How can we be sure?".
I said, "You're wrong, I found his reason in his dorm!". Rainer asked, "You did! Wait, why were you in his dorm?". I said, "Flame was acting weird on the morning of the talent show. He said he 'found some trash' in front of your dorm. So, I took his handbook and entered his dorm to check out the trash he hid in there.". Blue said, "But it wasn't trash wasn't it. Was it the reason why he went in?". I said, "Yes, it was a letter.". Zeke said, "Ugh! Why does every killer write a letter to get their victim to go somewhere and say, 'from anonymous'". I said, "Actually it's different. The from isn't anonymous.". Rainer said, "Wait you know who it's from! TELL US!". I said, "The letter is to Rainer, from Flame.". Multiple people all yelled "WHAT?!". Blue asked, "Can I see the letter?". I handed Blue the letter. He read it and asked, "Hey Rainer, can you tell me if Flame wrote this or not?". He walked over to Rainer and handed her the letter. She read it and said, "No, he didn't write it. For one, Flame isn't good at spelling. So he wouldn't use words like 'appreciate' or 'discussion'. He also doesn't sign off as 'your brother Flame', he would've signed off as 'Flame'. If Flame didn't write that letter, then what does that mean?
Logic Dive:
Who was that letter for?
Rainer
Flame

Who is the letter actually from?
Flame

Who was the one to find the letter?
Rainer
The Victim

The Victim
Conclusion: Rainer was supposed to be the victim
I said, "I might have a theory. Flame wasn't supposed to be the victim.". Rainer asked, "W-What do you mean?". Blue said, "Rainer, Rubble is saying that you were supposed to be the victim.". She yelled, "WHAT?!". I said, "Hear me out, Flame must've found this letter and read it before I said good morning to him.". Tails said, "The letter must've made him act weird. He knew something was up!". Sonic said, "When it was time for you to meet with the culprit. Flame took your place.". Rainer said, "S-So Flame went to the chemistry lab to protect me!". I said, "There is no other way!". Rainer started to cry, she said, "NO! WHY?! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE VICTIM! WHY DIDN'T FLAME TELL ME!". Blue said, "He didn't want you to worry. Or get hurt.". Ender said, "Let's continue with what we think happened.".
Non-Stop Debate: I said, "Here's a recap on what we found so far! Flame found a suspicious letter and decided to check it out. So when Flame entered he was walking towards the left side until the culprit came down from the vent. Then the attack happened, causing Flame to back up against the wall, where he died!". Zeke said, "I found footprints to prove that to be true.". Rainer cried, "Why Flame! Why did you have to make that stupid choice!". Kamek said, "Doesn't matter now. Maybe talking about the preparation of the murder will help?'.
Sonic said, "Obviously the killer got the butcher knife from Flappy's room.". Carrie said, "The wooden hammer was most likely found in the art storage room. There are a couple of those there for sculpting.". Zeke said, "And the hammer was used to break the lock on cabinet c. Causing the killer to have access to the dangerous chemicals!". Red Yoshi said, "So that's what happened, the killer grabbed the hammer and broke the lock-". I said, "No you're wrong!". The non-stop debate has ended.
Truth Bullet Used: Unknown Trail
I said, "There is proof that the killer isn't the one to break the lock!". Kamek asked, "What do you mean?". Zeke said, "The footprints from the entrance to the cabinets and the footprints from the wall that has the vent to where we found Flame don't match. They're different sizes.". Red Yoshi said, "The killer must've disguised their footprints like Skylar and Flappy did!". Blue said, "That could be the case but I'm not too sure.". Rainer said, "I might have an idea. Please follow my logic, so you can see it too!". I said, "Ok, I'm ready to hear you out!".
Logic Refresh (Rainer): Rainer said, "Ok so we know that someone had broken the lock with a wooden hammer. And someone came from the vent and attacked Flame. But the footprints for both events don't match. Also something Monokuma told us, if someone helped the killer they count as an innocent. And only two innocents triggered the body discovery announcement but it's supposed to be three innocents. And if the killer had a helper, there's a chance that at one point they could've seen the body. Please tell me you understand.". There was an accomplice! I yelled, "I agree with that!". The logic refresh has ended.
I said, "The killer must have had an accomplice!". Carrie yelled, "WHAT?!". Sonic said, "So one of us helped a killer kill somebody!". I said, "I'm afraid so.". Blue said, "That makes logical sense! There's no way that the killer didn't have help in this.". Zeke asked, "Now we have to find out who the accomplice is?". Ender said, "It's our best way to solve this crime.". Blue said, "Let's do it!".
Non-Stop Debate: Blue said, "Ok, let's go over what the accomplice did?". Kamek said, "There's a chance that the accomplice wrote that letter but I'm not too sure.". I said, "There is something that we can be sure of!". Rainer said, "The accomplice went to the art room to get the hammer. Since they probably knew that there was a lock on the cabinet that the killer needed". Tails said, "And they snuck to the lab before the talent show, so they can break the lock for the killer!". Red Yoshi said, "And went to a nearby classroom to hide the hammer in the trash!". I said, "Hold on a sec!". The non-stop debate has ended.
Truth Bullet Used (Red Yoshi's statement): And went to a nearby classroom to hide the hammer in the trash
I requested, "Red Yoshi, can you please repeat what you just said?". Red Yoshi said, "Um ok, they went to a nearby classroom to hide the hammer in the trash.". I said, "I never revealed where I found the hammer. I just said, 'a room close to the lab!'. How did you know that it was in a classroom?". Red Yoshi said, "I just guessed. They are pretty close to the lab.". I said, "There's another thing though. I never said it was in the trash.". We all turned our heads to Red Yoshi. Blue asked, "Red Yoshi, are you the accomplice?". Red Yoshi yelled, "No! NO I'M NOT!".
Rebuttal: Me and Red Yoshi got sent to the rebuttal arena. I'm ready to expose him as our accomplice! He came at me and said, "There was no way I could've helped! There is no proof!". I dodged his attack. I said, "You shared information about the case that I haven't revealed yet!". I whacked him with the pool stick. He said, "I knew the information because I found it too!". I dodged him again. I said, "Before you said it was just a guess. Why are you changing your story?". He said, "No I'm not! I have an alibi, I was rehearsing with you, remember?". I dodged him again. I said, "That alibi doesn't go for all day. Remember that you said that you had to go do something when we split?". I whacked him again. He asked, "If I'm the accomplice, when could I've seen the body?". I said, "You could've seen it after the show!". I whacked him and he fell off the arena. The rebuttal has ended.
Red Yoshi said, "FINE, I'll admit it, I'm the accomplice! I wrote the letter and broke the lock!". Rainer cried, "W-Why, why did you do it?". Red Yoshi said, "Because I had no choice! The killer wrote me a note saying that they'll kill me if I don't do those things for them! I'm sorry!". Blue asked, "Do you know who the killer is?". Red Yoshi said, "No. I've never met up with them!". Carrie said, "If the accomplice doesn't know who it is. Is there anything that points to someone?". Then I just remembered some things that were found. I said, "I just remembered some clues and I might have figured out who's guilty.". Ender asked, "Really?! Who?!". I said, "The killer behind Flame's death is… him!".
I pointed at my suspect. I was pointing at Kenny's death portrait. Everyone yelled 'WHAT?!'. Kamek yelled, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? HE'S DEAD! HOW COULD HE BE BEHIND THIS?!". I then turned to Monokuma and asked, "Can I throw something at the air vent real quick? I promise that it'll make things more interesting!". Monokuma said, "Um, if it'll make things more interesting then sure!". I used my pokemon move rock throw at the air vent causing it to open and something dropped from it. Or should I say someone. Kenny dropped from the air vent! Everyone was shocked and confused. Kenny mumbled something. I'm guessing it was an awkward hello.
Carrie said, "H-He's alive!". Blue asked, "H-How? We all saw him dead!". Sonic asked, "S-So is Kenny really the culprit?!". Kenny then took off his hood and yelled, "NO I'M NOT!". Kenny's head looks like a normal kid with blond hair. Blue said, "He took off his hood!". Kamek asked, "What in the world is going on right now?". Kenny said, "Ok! You caught me. I was hiding in the vents this whole time but I didn't kill Flame! You gotta trust me!".
Non-Stop Debate: Rainer said, "I can't believe this! I must be dreaming!". Tails asked, "How is he alive?". Zeke said, "Maybe he survived his attack?". Blue said, "He was decapitated! There is no surviving that.". I said, "If he survived, the investigation and class trial wouldn't have happened!". Ender said, "I might have a theory.". Carrie asked, "What is it?". Ender said, "Maybe the body we found wasn't actually Kenny. Maybe Kenny swapped it out so he could explore without Monokuma watching over him!". Kenny who was sitting next to his death portrait said, "Ender is correct! That is what happened!". I yelled, "No that's wrong!". The non-stop debate has ended
Truth Bullet Used: Kenny's Journal
I said, "Kenny definitely died back at case one. There's no way he could've switched himself with a decoy!". Blue asked, "But if that's true, then how is Kenny here?". Zeke suggested, "Maybe this is his ghost?". Kamek said, "Zeke, don't be stupid! If he's a ghost then he wouldn't have fallen out of the vent!". I said, "Kenny is here right now because he came back to life!". Kenny yelled, "That's wrong!".
Rebuttal: Me and Kenny got sent to the rebuttal arena. Kenny came at me saying, "I came back to life? That's so ridiculous!". He whacked me. I said, "There's no way that you could've survived your murder! Your head was chopped off!". I whacked him. Kenny said, "But I told you what happened, I replaced myself with a fake body!". He whacked me. I asked, "When will you have time to replace yourself with a dummy before the attack? It's impossible!". I tried to whack him but he dodged. He then said, "I got a walkie talkie that I found in the storage room and put on the dummy! I was never there!". I dodged him and said, "The autopsy found nothing that goes with your statement!". I whacked him. He asked, "What proof do you have that I came back to life? There's no proof!". He charged towards me. I said, "There is one proof. It was provided by you!". He said, "What?!" before I tripped him off the arena. The rebuttal is over.
I said, "I looked in your dorm since I found your handbook in Flappy's dorm. I thought there might've been something there. I found nothing until I came across this!". I pulled out his journal! I continued, "This is your personal journal and you revealed something that you didn't want us, and especially Monokuma to know!". Blue asked, "What is it?". I said, "That he is cursed to never die! Every time he dies, he's revived the next day!". Ender took the journal and said, "It does say that!". Kenny said, "FINE! The pokemon is right! But I still didn't kill Flame!". I said, "That's wrong! There are two pieces of evidence!".
Blue asked, "Can you please share them?". Kenny said, "I bet they're not real clues!". I said, "There was a piece of orange fabric found at the scene! It looks like it belongs to some type of clothing. If we look at Kenny's arm, we can see there's some piece missing from his parka.". Kenny said, "The missing piece must be in the vent. Where it got ripped!". I said, "Also, Flame wrote a dying message on the wall before he died! It said "lst". Zeke asked, "L S T? What does that mean?".
What does lst actually mean?
The Killer's Name
First
Something about The Killer's Look
Answer: First
I said, "Well now I'm thinking about it. I don't think that's a lowercase L. It's really the number one! Meaning his message is 1st which means first.". Rainer said, "Flame wrote first to tell us that the first victim killed him! Which was Kenny!". Kenny was just flabbergasted at what we just said. He started to laugh and then his laugh became more insane. He then said, "You gotta be kidding right? I AM NOT GUILTY! I WOULD NEVER DO THIS! I'M JUST A KID!". It's clear he isn't gonna give up without a fight! I'm just gonna have to defeat him.
Panic Attack: Zeke: "This is really unexpected!". Carrie: "Yeah I have to agree!". Kenny: "I'm not the killer! How would I be able to get the knife if Flappy's door was locked?". Ender: "You entered through the air vents!". Kenny: "But how could I have broken the lock?! The footprints are bigger than mine!". Red Yoshi: "You had me help you as your accomplice!". Kenny: "But why did I kill Flame?!". Rainer: "Originally you wanted to kill me but Flame went in my place! So you went with the flow!". Kenny: "Why point to me? It could be anyone else!". Tails: "Everyone here has an alibi! We were all at the music hall!". Kenny: "If I'm the killer, is there any proof that I used the vent to travel to the lab?". You already said you were in the vents this whole time! Me: "You already gave yourself away! It's over Kenny!". Kenny: "NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!". The panic attack has ended.
I said, "It's over Kenny! Just give up!". Kenny shouted, "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! I'm not the killer you gotta believe me!". I said, "Well time to share how the case went! Maybe you'll believe me then? Here's the truth of the case!".
After the blackened got killed, they were revived the next day. Sadly they were revived in the school. So they wouldn't get caught by anyone, they snuck in the air vents to hide out and possibly look for an exit! After the third case, the blackened had no luck finding the exit. They must have given up after days of searching. When they gave up, they realized that the only way to escape was to get away with murder!
For them it would have been perfect! Who would suspect a dead person of being a murderer? So they planned to kill Rainer. Probably because she was the leader of our group. So they made a plan, they were looking for a perfect place to do their crime. When they discovered the chemicals in the chemistry lab, they knew it would be perfect! But they noticed that cabinet c was locked, they figured that those chemicals were the most dangerous ones. They wrote a letter to Red Yoshi threatening him to break the lock and write a letter to Rainer or else he'll get killed. They also used the vents to get into Flappy's dorm to get the same butcher knife that was used on them!
Red Yoshi forged a letter from Flame to Rainer. Red Yoshi made mistakes while writing it. Using words Flame doesn't know how to spell and signing off as 'your brother'. After he wrote and delivered the letter, Flame woke up and found it before Rainer could. He knew that this was fishy and when I came up to him, he acted weird. I'm guessing he had no idea who he could trust at the moment. Later after Red Yoshi and I were done rehearsing for the talent show. He went to do task #2. He grabbed a wooden hammer from the art storage room and used it to break the lock! When he broke it, he quickly rushed out and threw the hammer away in the nearest trash can. Which was in a classroom.
When it was time for Rainer to meet up with the blackened, Flame went in her place. He wanted to protect her. So he lied to Sonic, so he can leave the show. When he arrived, he was waiting for the blackened. Until they came out of the vent. Flame must have been surprised since they were killed back at case one. But the blackened went in to attack Flame. Flame fought back, ripping their parka, but it wasn't enough. Pushing him to the wall. Flame must have tried to escape but the blackened threw chemical c-6 at him. Causing a burn mark on his back leg.
When it hit, Flame fell to the ground. The blackened used duct tape he must have found somewhere and taped his mouth shut. Then the blackened took the butcher knife to cut off Flame's front paws, so he couldn't run anymore. Then stabbed him! The blackened must have left the crime scene. With the little amount of strength he had left, Flame wrote a dying message in his own blood! He knew that writing his killer's name wouldn't work, since his killer is supposed to be dead! So he wrote 1st to hint that the first victim had killed them! After the show, Red Yoshi checked out the crime scene to see if everything was ok. When he saw what happened, he was scared to admit that he helped out with this murder!
I said, "The first victim is the true culprit of this case! Is that the truth… KENNY?!". Kenny just stayed there silent. Rainer said angrily, "Monokuma, it's voting time!". Monokuma said, "Ok! Rubble can you please hand Kenny his e-handbook?". I gave him his handbook. Monokuma continued, "Ok, IT'S VOTING TIME! Will you make the right choice or the dreadfully wrong one?!". We all used our handbooks to vote.
Monokuma said, "Ok, the verdict is…Kenny! And you all are… CORRECT! The blackened behind the case is Kenny the Ultimate Unlucky Kid!". Kenny said, "Well, looks like I'm about to die again! You think you're so smart Rubble, do you?!". Rainer asked, "W-Why, why did you kill my brother?!". Kenny said, "You weren't the only ones affected by the motive! Monokuma affected me too! I had to see my family again!". Blue said, "So you took someone's family away, to see your own family again? That's messed up, do you think your family would be proud of you for that?". Kenny said, "Doesn't matter right now! Monokuma, I'm ready for my punishment!". Monokuma said, "Alrighty then! I prepared a special punishment for the Ultimate Unlucky Kid! LET'S GIVE IT EVERYTHING WE GOT! IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!".
He pulled out his giant judge's mallet and whacked the button on his pedestal. Then he jumped off and grabbed Kenny and dragged him off somewhere. Then the giant monitor came down from the ceiling. It turned on to show us Kenny trapped in a box. Then four guns appeared from the ground. It looks like they're loaded with butcher knives. Monokuma dressed like a butcher was holding a butcher knife and pointed to the box Kenny was trapped in. The guns started to fire the butcher knives. They were going through the box like crazy! There's no way anyone could survive that. At Least that's what I thought. When the guns were out of knives. Kenny broke out of the box! He had cuts on him, but he was still alive. How did he survive that and how many knives actually hit him?
Monokuma noticed this and he doesn't look happy. He pulled out and pushed a button. Spears started coming out of the ground. As soon as Kenny saw that, he started running. There were so many close calls. As Kenny kept avoiding death, Monokuma got more furious! Monokuma pushed a button and the Butcher Knife guns got refilled. Now Kenny has to dodge Knives and spears. Kenny then got an idea. He grabbed a spear and ran after Monokuma. I think he wants to kill Monokuma. Monokuma noticed and defended himself with the butcher knife he had in the beginning of the execution. The execution became a sword fight but they're using a butcher knife and a spear.
Kenny used the spear on Monokuma's head, and he fell. Blue said, "Did he actually kill Monokuma?". I said, "It's never that easy.". Then Monokuma started beeping. Kenny noticed and started to run. But a spear hit through his left leg. And a butcher knife hit his right shoulder. The spears for some reason stopped coming from the ground. The butcher knives kept firing. Most missed but a good amount hit. Then Monokuma exploded. Kenny definitely didn't survive. Then the screen was turned off. The screen went back up to the ceiling.
Carrie said, "I never thought I'd see someone die for a second time!". Sonic asked, "If Monokuma exploded, does that mean he's now gone?!". I said, "No, there's more of him.". Monokuma said, "Listen to the rock expert!". Monokuma appeared out of the ground again. Zeke cried, "No! It was too good to be true!". Monokuma said, "Congrats on surviving the fourth class trial! You can now leave the class trial room!". Blue asked, "Um, Kenny is immortal. What are you gonna do to him if he revives in the school again?". Monokuma said, "You shouldn't worry about that! Catch ya later!". We all left the trial room.
This was the first dinner Flame didn't make for us. Blue made it and it wasn't bad. After dinner I was heading to my room until Rainer called me over. I went to her and said, "Hey, are you ok? I'm sorry about Flame and Jolt.". Rainer said, "You don't have to be sorry, but I appreciate it. Anyway I just want to say thank you. If it wasn't for you, Flame's and Jolt's cases wouldn't have been solved.". I said, "No problem. They were good people and didn't deserve this.". Rainer hugged me and said, "Good night!".
After she walked away I went to my dorm. A few minutes passed by and I heard someone ringing my doorbell. I opened it to see Blue. I said, "Hey Blue, sorry for your loss.". Blue said, "Hey, thanks. Good job on the case! I knew leaving the lead to you was a good idea!". I said, "Heh, Thanks!". Blue asked, "Hey, can you follow me? There's some stuff I need to confess to you.". I was curious about that. Is it about earlier? I said, "U-Um sure?". I then followed Blue.
He brought me to Kamek's dorm. He rang his doorbell and said, "Hey, I brought Rubble!". Kamek opened the door and said, "Come in!". We walked in and I asked, "What is this about?". Blue said, "Remember when Kamek wanted to talk to me? Well we're about to tell you what we talked about.". Kamek said, "Originally, I wasn't sure if I could trust you. But Blue and I-". I said, "Made a deal. I overheard you when Blue left your room. Was the deal that Blue will help prove me trustworthy and if he does you'll tell me?". Kamek said, "Yes that's right. After solving today's case, I think Blue won.".
I think I now know the real reason why I had the lead to the case. I asked, "So why are you so tense? What did you tell Blue?". Kamek said, "When I woke up that morning, I went to the library. I looked through the shelves and found this note. I read it and I couldn't believe it.". Blue said, "He showed me it earlier. We believe either Monokuma or the Mastermind left this behind as a hint.". I asked, "Can I see it?". Kamek pulled out the note and showed me. The note said, "Ultimate Shapeshifter". Blue said, "This note makes us believe that someone is lying about their ultimate talent!". Kamek said, "Also the Ultimate Shapeshifter is most likely the Mastermind behind our situation!". I said, "The Mastermind is one of us! To be honest I kinda already knew that.". Both of them yelled, "What?!".
(NOTE: Did you guys like the twist? I bet none of you expected that the first victim would be the next killer! I wanted to use Kenny's curse from South Park and use it in my story! For his execution, I didn't know what to do for the Ultimate Unlucky Kid, so I went with a fight with Monokuma. I would love to see who you guys think the Mastermind is? Hope you enjoyed it and I will see you next week!)
