Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. So, for those unaware, there's a piece of fanart floating in my X account and Pat account, created by one of you readers (Veractivon). Took some mods, put them together, and showed it to me on X. It makes me smile, thinking that this fic is good enough for someone to take the time to make a fan-art of it.

"Fun isn't something one considers when trying to make the best fanfic. But this… does put a smile on my face."

Don't know if I'm gonna use it as a cover image for this fic, mainly due to the image being dark (As in, literally dark. Can barely see it from afar). But if you want to get a looksees, again, it's on X as well as my Pat account (The post is made public there, don't worry).

With that out of the way, let's get back to the viewing. Here, the class will finally wrap up Chapter 5. I hope you enjoy.

P.S. For those who are aware of Tigerwoman188, just want to let you know that I've finally decided to block that reviewer. At this point, it was pretty clear that the constant reviews sent was trolling, not really giving any constructive criticism; so my patients eventually ran out. Probably should've done it sooner, but hey, better late than never.

Chapter 105: Watching Chapter 5: 100 Miles; Pain of a Junk Food Junkie

"You said you had a reason for doing all that investigating on your own…" Makoto then inquired, the two now sitting down; Kyoko on a used couch while Makoto was on the ground. "So… how'd that turn out? Were you able to remember anything?"

"I think there's still a lot I don't remember. But at the very least…" Kyoko began answering. "...I was finally able to recall my purpose, and my ability."

That got eyebrows to shoot up in surprise. "So… Kyoko was actually able to regain her memories?" Hina asked in slight shock.

"Only bits and pieces, from the sounds of it." Mukuro noted. "Memories related to her being a detective."

"This feels like a big reveal moment, where we find out more about the mystery character…" Hifumi couldn't help but note. "Only that we got spoiled of that moment, so it feels less exciting."

"Are you ever gonna stop comparing this to an anime…?" Leon deadpanned in slight annoyance.

"Well, to be fair… everything about this viewing has the hallmark of a mystery anime…" Makoto pointed out hesitantly. "Or maybe a visual novel…"

"It's d-difficult not to view it as some sort of s-story with the way it's all f-framed…" Toko added.

"My ability - what everyone should have known me for… I'm the Ultimate Detective."

'The Ultimate… Detective?' Makoto repeated to himself, with some amazement.

"And the reason I came to Hope's Peak Academy…" The newly dubbed Ultimate Detective continued. "Was to find someone here in the school. Whatever it took, I had to find them."

"You had to find someone…?" Makoto repeated, tilting his head curiously. "Who?"

"Well…" After a moment of hesitation, Kyoko answered. "It was the headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy."

"...Hold a sec." Leon spoke up in bewilderment, his mind catching up to what was said. His confusion was shared by several more of his classmates. "You're telling me you went to Hope's Peak… just so you can see your old man?"

On the outside, that doesn't seem too strange. To want to meet your estranged family member, your parents especially, is a common thing for those who grew up without them.

But Kyoko has made it clear from the start she held no connection towards her father. The whole class knew that the detective didn't view the headmaster as family. So… why go out of her way to meet him?

Kyoko herself, unwilling to explain her actions, merely sighed and said, "I have my reasons. Reasons that'll likely be revealed in this viewing. So be patient."

While the class knew about the estrangement between her and her father, Kyoko never explained to her classmates exactly why they were estranged. Only Makoto knew the full story, and she wasn't planning on telling her past to more people.

However, knowing that most of her classmates' pasts had been aired already, she had no choice but to be resigned to what's coming. So she made no fuss about it.

"The headmaster?!" The luckster exclaimed in surprise. "Why did you want to find the headmaster?!"

"Because he's my father."

If it was possible, Makoto's eyes got even wider. "What?!"

"I was separated from him as a child. As it turns out, he became the headmaster of Hope's Peak." Kyoko explained.

'Kyoko's dad… is Hope's Peak's headmaster…?!' Makoto thought to himself in shock. "Then that explains…"

A flashback of Kyoko's reaction when she heard from Alter Ego of the headmaster's supposed involvement was played, before going back to the present. "My memory hadn't come back at that point. But when he said that, I felt… strange." Kyoko said. "It makes perfect sense now, of course, since my whole purpose for coming here was to find him."

"It sounds like more than just bits and pieces of her memories…" Makoto noted. "It sounds as though she gained enough back to feel… whole again."

"So it would seem…" Sakura nodded in agreement.

"That's good, isn't it…?" Chihiro spoke optimistically, a small smile across his face. "That she was able to gain back a piece of herself…"

"It is…" The lucky student said in agreement. Regardless of any complicated feelings, he's glad that Kyoko's future self was able to regain a piece of her lost memories.

Now if only all remaining six survivors can get ALL their memories back…

"That makes sense…" Makoto nodded in agreement.

"But listen, Makoto. I want to make this perfectly clear, so there's no misunderstanding…" Kyoko then stated. "I said the headmaster wasn't the mastermind, but I didn't say that to protect him."

"And there's the daddy issues showing…" Leon murmured dryly.

It was a murmur that Kyoko still heard, prompting the detective to narrow her eyes slightly at the baseball star. Said baseball star merely whistled innocently in response.

"I only said what I felt based on what I'd seen when I snuck into the headmaster's room."

"Then… what did you see in there?" Makoto inquired.

"The room had been ransacked. The shelves were a mess, the desk drawers dumped on the floor…" Kyoko described. "The only conclusion is that someone who didn't know where anything was had been in there."

The detective's words took the group by surprise, slightly. "What could they have been looking for, I wonder…?" Celeste mused.

"Couldn't they just have been collecting everything within the headmaster's office…?" Taka suggested.

"Then w-why make the mess that t-they did?" Toko retorted. "T-They could've been more o-organized, or something."

"The speculation is pointless unless there's something in that office of actual importance to us…" Byakuya sighed in clear annoyance. "Let's continue, and put our attention on what's actually valuable."

Yet again, there was grumbling at Byakuya's sharp tongue. Never-the-less, the class put their attention back on the screen.

"You mean… the mastermind, right?" Makoto guessed hesitantly.

"That was my assumption, yes. And to confirm my suspicion…" Kyoko held up the Monokuma key still in her grasp. "...I decided to investigate the 2nd floor of the dorms using the key I'd found."

"But… why there?"

"Because I also found this in the headmaster's room." The detective then held out a small bundle of paper.

"This is… some kind of map?" Makoto wondered, looking at the sketches.

"It's the layout of the entirety of Hope's Peak Academy." Kyoko answered. "I found it in the headmaster's room, aligned with Mukuro's profile and that key. The map showed that the 2nd floor was home to a number of rooms meant for faculty use. Some of the staff must have had to stay overnight from time to time. And I figured the headmaster would have some kind of private room there…"

"I assumed that if that were true, that room would likely hold more clues. So I went to check…" The detective continued. "And that's when I finally remembered. I remembered that my purpose was to find the owner of that room."

"So was the private room that she was looking for the trigger for her memories…?" Taka mused, his knuckles across his chin. "Or was it something else?"

"Hard to say, Mr. Ishimaru. Could've been anything. Could've been completely random…" Hifumi answered thoughtfully. "Difficult to say without more information…"

"Honestly, the whole regaining memories thing is so confusing…" Hina moaned, holding her head. "First Hifumi getting them back after getting hit in the head? Makoto's sick dream? Kyoko remembering being a detective after visiting the Headmaster's private room? Can't there be a simple, and obvious way for them to get their memories back?"

"Trust me Hina, all of us wish for simpler solutions…" Sayaka sighed.

"So you went there to see if the headmaster really did have a private room here…" The lucky student summarized.

"But once I got there, I noticed that the 2nd floor of the dorms didn't have any cameras or monitors." Kyoko then revealed.

"So… what was it like?" Makoto inquired curiously. "That part of the school, I mean…"

"It's hard to describe. All I can say is…" Kyoko hummed, looking in thought. "The moment I saw it, I realized… whatever's going on in this school is more horrific than we ever imagined."

And of course, those ominous words brought about chills across the students' spines. "Does that… are there more dead students…?" Hina gulped, getting a bit pale.

"If there was, I'm sure Kyoko would've said so…" Sakura assured her friend; along with all those who shared that same fear. "No, it's likely something more complicated if Kyoko can't put it into words."

"Kyoko, did you have to take a page out of Makoto's book, and sound so damn ominous…?" Leon groaned. Yet again, the detective's response was silence.

"W-What do you mean…?"

"I can't explain it. You need to see it for yourself." Kyoko told the luckster. "And I'm sure you'll get your chance soon enough…"

'It sounds like it must be important.' Makoto mused nervously. 'And really ominous…'

"...Just what do you have planned, Kyoko?" Sayaka asked suspiciously, her eyebrows furrowed. "You intend to get Makoto out of there alive, but… how? And what else do you have in mind?"

"...I believe that my future self intends to confront the mastermind directly about the last trial." Kyoko answered, keeping her eyes leveled on the screen. "Challenge the legitimacy of their verdict, and essentially get a retrial; with them officially as another possible suspect."

That got several of the students to look at the detective in shock. "Are you serious…?" Hina spoke, mouth agape. "You're seriously gonna face up against the mastermind like that?"

"I know you got a tough spine on you, Kyoko, but seriously…" Leon followed up, sounding just as flabbergasted. "You think that actually gonna work with the bear?"

This time, it was Byakuya who spoke up. "Before this chapter, I doubt such a plan would've actually worked." He stated, looking down in thought. "However, there is one thing that would give Kyoko a significant advantage."

Now eyes were turned towards the Togami heir. "The hell are you on about, Togami?" Mondo barked with some annoyance. "What advantage does Kyoko have against the damn bear?"

"Did you all seriously forget?" Byakuya sighed in annoyance. Before he could be met with any annoyance or anger back, he continued with, "This killing game is being broadcasted to the entire world."

"..." That brought about a deafening silence, the room getting cold at the reminder of that disturbing fact. Several of the students looked more than uncomfortable, with some even losing color across their cheeks.

"...Are you saying that because he's broadcasting the game for everyone to see, Monokuma would have no choice but to do that retrial?" Celeste concluded, pushing back the uncomfortable feeling in her chest. "But… why would he care?"

"We've talked about this before; it's clear that he's been making this killing game something legitimate." The Togami heir explained. "Have even stated before to my counterpart that he's also beholden to the rules. Clearly, he's been trying to hide the fact that the trial is fake. Why go through all that effort, if not to convince the audience of this game's legitimacy?"

"...The mastermind has been doing all this for a reason. Been trying to break our future selves in this fashion for several chapters." Makoto then spoke up grimly, hands clenched around his knees. "And… they made it clear that it wasn't for us. At least not just for us. It's for the whole world to see. So… there's a message that he wants to send to the rest of the world."

"But that message wouldn't be poignant with something like this. The killings have to be amongst us, otherwise, the mastermind wouldn't have the effect they would want. So if the fifth trial was brought into question as fake…" The lucky student then faced Kyoko, keeping himself from looking away. "Then they would have to do a retrial, or else lose the effect that they want. Is that right?"

The detective nodded, meeting the luckster's gaze with her own. "If they really want to send a message, spread this… despair, as they claim, then they can't let such accusations go unanswered. And that'll give us the prime opportunity to defeat the mastermind; with their own rules."

The class took a moment to digest all of what's being predicted, shock and amazement being felt all around. "Damn, Kyoko…" Mondo couldn't help but whistle. "You future self came up with that in, what, a day? Less?"

"Likely the moment Makoto's execution failed…" Celeste stated; a frown still across her face. "Still… this is quite the gamble your future self is placing. We can't be certain if it'll gain any fruit."

"Oh, there's no doubt that it's a gamble…" Kyoko agreed, not disputing the claim. "But the odds are good; and the rewards are bountiful. Plus… it's the best, probably the only way, to save Makoto's life."

That got the students very quiet yet again, the reminder of Makoto's dangerous situation back in the forefront. Some noticeably tense, others merely bit their lips or frowned anxiously.

Mukuro was one of the students who was tense. Honestly, she wasn't sure what would happen. It could go either way with Junko, either her sister dismissing the claims entirely or accepting a re-trial. It'll likely depend on which will lead to the most despair, be it for herself, the survivors, or both.

And what'll happen if she does accept a re-trial? Made it to where she would be a suspect herself? Would that mean… she would be at risk for execution? Would Junko really do that?

She honestly doesn't know. But these thoughts alone were enough to twist her stomach into extremely uncomfortable knots.

"Anyways, because there were no cameras or monitors, I had no idea what was going on in the rest of the building." Kyoko directed the topic backwards a bit.

"It has to do with Mukuro Ikusaba, doesn't it?" Makoto deduced.

Just like that, the air thickened even further. Eyes shifted towards the mentioned Ultimate Soldier, who steadily ignored the gazes on her. But for now, none said anything. Either feeling no need, or not wanting to open the can of worms themselves.

'So… are we gonna find out more of what Kyoko knows about Mukuro?' Byakuya asked himself, his eyes narrowed. 'Find out why she's certain about her being the Ultimate Despair?'

"Just to be perfectly clear, I didn't kill her." Kyoko stated firmly. "And I know it wasn't you, either."

"I know you're right. But that just means…" Makoto spoke, frowning. "Everyone but you and me had an alibi. So then who did kill her…?"

"What I can say for sure is that the mastermind is directly involved." The detective answered somewhat. "To begin with, the point of the class trial of Mukuro Ikusaba… was to get me killed."

"...They still think that Mukuro died the night before the fifth trial, don't they?" Celeste suddenly spoke in recollection. Her words caused the others to light up their eyes in similar remembrance.

"Of course." Sakura answered. "If the re-trial were to happen, that is part of the mystery they would need to solve."

"I still don't see how they're gonna figure that out…" Leon remarked with some concern. "I mean, that's a big leap of logic there. How are they gonna connect the dots when those dots are so far apart?"

"I don't know, Leon…" Sayaka murmured loudly, looking similarly worried. "But I hope they can. I really hope they can."

It was a sentiment shared by several of the students. They all hope there's something else that the survivors can find to put the pieces together. To figure out the true cause of the future Mukuro's death.

Makoto's eyes widened at that. "Get you killed…?"

"I stole that key and disappeared, and in retaliation they wanted to draw me out and eliminate me." Kyoko explained further. "That was the point of the class trial."

"It was…?"

"The mastermind knew they couldn't interfere directly." Kyoko then stated.

"You mean… because of the school regulation?" Makoto guessed.

Kyoko nodded. "Exactly." As she spoke, a flashback of one of the rules was shown. "The mastermind is adamant about following the rules, and with that rule in place, they couldn't step in. Since they couldn't kill me themselves, they tried to use the class trial to do it."

'The mastermind couldn't step in because of the rules?' Makoto thought with slight confusion. 'That makes it sound like… the mastermind themselves is somehow bound by the school regulations.'

"...Honestly, the more I hear them talk, the more convinced that Kyoko can corner the mastermind." Taka admitted to. "If they're this adamant about following their own rules, to the point that they have to hide their own breaking of those rules… then they would be unable to dismiss Kyoko's claims out of hand."

"They'll be pushed into a corner, alright…" Mondo nodded in agreement with his friend. "Still… will the bastard cave? Or do something else out of desperation?"

"It's hard to say, Mr. Oowada…" Hifumi said, biting his nails nervously. "The predictable event would be such a caving… but our foe has to be unpredictable…"

'Aw. Such flattery will get you nowhere with me…' Junko thought coyly. As for what she'll think her future self will do… well, she can't risk the killing game getting undermined by doubts of its legitimacy. People all across the world need to understand how powerful despair really is, after all.

So not only would her future self accept the retrial… but would likely step up the stakes. And use this opportunity to bring the despairful truths to the remaining six…

After all, words hit the hardest when they're true, don't they?

"There's one other thing I'd like to point out about the murder of Mukuro Ikusaba…" Kyoko suddenly said.

Her words got a curious look from the luckster. "What's that…?"

"There was a point where Mukuro may not have become the victim…" The detective stated, a small frown across her face. "It could have been you, Makoto…!"

That caused the lucky student to stiffen up. "I could have become the victim…?"

"You know what I'm talking about, right?"

"Do you mean…?" A flashback of the masked figure hovering over Makoto was shown. 'During the night…?'

The moment the two went to the topic of Makoto's first possible death, Mukuro found herself tense. She felt every muscle in her body tightening further at the flashback being shown.

'If I stay with Junko, something like this will happen…' The soldier thought with dread and guilt, in equal measures. 'Especially now, her eyes will be on Makoto. By helping her… I'm gonna assist with whatever torment she would place on him. And at this point… just the thought…'

She knew she had to make a choice soon. To make her allegiance either to her sister, or to her classmates… to Makoto. And, deep in her heart… she knew where her loyalties were realigning themselves towards.

The scene went back to the present as Kyoko spoke. "I can hear them, you know." She said, her eyes closed. "The footsteps of the god of death."

"What…?" Was the only thing the luckster could say.

"I can hear the god of death as he moves." Kyoko continued. "This ability naturally draws me into cases, just like this. Which is exactly what happened with you."

"...That actually a thing?" Mondo questioned dubiously, giving Kyoko an incredulous stare. "You… know when a fucking killing is about to happen?"

"Not know, per say. Just… these moments of dread I can't quite put into words. Something that I've developed during my training as a detective." Kyoko explained, her eyes closed. "I can hear death moving through the wind, but I can't quite pinpoint where it will happen. So while it doesn't help in stopping death and killings from happening, it can lead me to solving cases of such events."

"But then… it led the future you in stopping the mastermind from killing Makoto, didn't it?" Hina pointed out, frowning in befuddlement. "So… how did that work?"

It was Celeste who answered. "It was likely Makoto's luck that made it to where Kyoko could pinpoint where the attempted murder was about to happen." The gambler theorized. "Kyoko's natural senses as a detective, alongside Makoto's rather unpredictable luck, created a scenario where Kyoko was able to intervene this time."

"I was in the dorms, and I had a sudden sense of dread. I looked down the stairwell… and I saw a white shadow cross the corridor. I gave chase right away. As I followed it, I saw the shadow go into your room…"

Yet again, the flashback played, this time showing Kyoko witnessing the scene. "I ran into your room, and I saw what was happening. I intervened immediately, of course."

"And this further proves my hypothesis." Celeste nodded assuredly.

"First the memory sequence of his, then the last minute save from Alter Ego…" Junko listed off with genuine disbelief in her voice. "And now we're figuring out that the save from Kyoko was also from damn near pure luck? Like… wow, that luck of yours is pretty much plot armor at this point…"

"That's not to mention the other events." Hifumi pointed out. "The locked door situation, Mr. Oowada and Mr. Ishimaru's competition, the encounter of Miss Oogami and Monokuma's fight…"

"You are definitely earning the title of Ultimate Lucky Student at this point…" Byakuya remarked dryly.

"..." That very lucky student wasn't sure if he should be proud or anything for what his luck had him avoid or encounter. It wasn't like he's able to actively use that luck in any capacity. He just ends up in these odd situations that somehow help him in the end!

"You're definitely more than your lucky status…" Sayaka whispered beside him, squeezing his arm for his comfort; as well as her own. "But I'm happy that you have that luck. Not only did it let us meet again… but it would also save your life in this future."

"…Yeah." He'll just let himself continue to be relieved that his luck saved his life. Twice. That's probably for the best.

It then went back to the present, with the detective continuing her tale. "That wasn't the end of things, of course. I stopped them, but that led to…" A flashback of the 'murdered' assailant was then shown. "Whoever the masked assailant was, they ended up dead."

"And their murder was disguised, and the dojo key wound up in my room…" Kyoko began to conclude. "It all has to be the work of the mastermind, in an attempt to use the class trial to eliminate me…"

'Knowing that the mastermind was targeting Kyoko… I'm still glad that future me didn't tell the truth about the key…' Makoto thought, looking down. 'If I did that… I can't say for certain if Kyoko would be saved like I did…'

While he was grateful for Alter Ego's intervention, it was clear that the last minute save was clear luck. His own luck that made it to where Alter Ego was able to get a part of himself inside the system, that Monokuma never noticed up until the AI made himself known, and was able to stop the execution for a moment before getting wiped clean.

If Kyoko was in that same execution… would she be saved? Would Alter Ego have been able to intervene in time? He didn't know. Not for certain. So no matter what else he felt about the whole thing, he could say for certain that he doesn't regret his future self's decision.

"So all this would mean that whoever killed Mukuro is also the mastermind, right?" Makoto deduced.

"I don't have conclusive evidence, but that's what I think." Kyoko answered.

"But that's really bad if true. It means the mastermind can kill whoever they want if they feel like it." The luckster then developed a frown of confusion. "Wait, but doesn't that create another contradiction? The mastermind wanted to use the class trial to try and kill you cuz they couldn't interfere, right?"

"You're right. That is a contradiction." Kyoko confirmed with a nod. "And it's not just Mukuro. They needed the class trial to kill me, but seemed ready to kill you in your room. Everything they did is a contradiction."

"So… what does it all mean?" Makoto then asked.

"It means that the mastermind is the one who's been cornered." The detective stated; a smirk now across her face.

Slowly but surely, the class felt themselves getting pumped up with Kyoko's words. "I really think Kyoko's plan is gonna work…"! Hina stated; hope and eagerness clear in her tone. "I mean, we can all see that the mastermind is cornered, right? That they're doing this because Kyoko was locking in on them!"

"And as Byakuya said, this killing game is being broadcasted to the world." Sakura followed up, her gaze fierce as she continued facing the screen. "And they're doing all they can to make it all legitimate. To ignore Kyoko's accusations… would risk losing the effect that they would want. Cause outrage, rather than the despair they so crave."

"They'll s-still have to find evidence…" Toko pointed out. "And f-figure out that M-Mukuro was 'Junko' at the start."

"...If anyone can do it, Kyoko can…" Makoto spoke up; his voice soft, yet confidence still coming across his voice. "After all, we've seen what she could do during all these trials, right? Even when she forgot about being a detective, those skills didn't leave her. So…"

"True that. We saw her pull out evidence from thin air before…" Leon snorted, conceding to Makoto's point. "With actual time, who is to say she wouldn't find more stuff?"

"And thinking about it, she still does have Monokuma's master key…" Hifumi spoke up in thought. "With it, she can reach secret places the mastermind clearly never intends anyone to go to."

"Man, I'm really getting more and more pumped up the more I hear…!" Hiro said excitedly, clenching a fist. "We actually got a chance at winning!"

Confidence swelled as the class pondered on their chances of getting a retrial. At cornering the mastermind and forcing them to play in their own rules. Even those that see it as a gamble, could see the good odds that they have with it.

The dread that they have felt before and during the trial, was now being completely replaced with excitement and hope.

"Huh…?"

"Just a little more… a little more, and I should be able to figure out the mastermind's identity." Kyoko spoke with soft yet clear determination. "The identity of… the other Ultimate Despair."

"...What-?"

"Other-...?"

"What is she-?"

"The other Ultimate Despair…?" Makoto repeated in befuddlement.

"There's no doubt that Mukuro was the Ultimate Despair, and that she's dead." Kyoko stated firmly. "But I don't think the Ultimate Despair is just one."

"It's not…?"

"If you think about it, 'the Ultimate Despair' seems to implicate whoever caused this event." The detective pointed out.

"You're talking about…" Makoto spoke in remembrance.

"...what happened a year ago - the biggest, most awful, most tragic event in human history." Kyoko finished.

"...Wait, wait, wait, time-out." Leon exclaimed in befuddlement, clearly trying to wrap his head around this. "Kyoko's think there's more Ultimate Despair? And that… they were involved with the Tragedy?"

"Not only that… but she's still quite certain that Mukuro is the Ultimate Despair." Celeste stated; her eyes narrowed. "Or is part of a larger group, rather…"

"But… that's just… wha-...?" Hina stuttered unintelligibly, trying to make sense of everything currently being told.

"What in the hell…?" Was all Mondo could think to say.

Suffice to say, Kyoko's new revelations put the class in a loop. Unfortunately, they wouldn't get the time to properly grasp it.

'The Tragedy… whoever's responsible for that…' The luckster thought to himself. 'They're the Ultimate Despair?'

"That despicable group whose only purpose and motivation comes from despair…" Kyoko declared grimly.

"Then they're…"

"Make no mistake. They're the root of all the evil that has forced us to go through this." As the detective spoke, the screen went black. "*That* is the Ultimate Despair. And that is our real enemy."

"Chapter 5: 100 Mile Dash; Pain of a Junk Food Junkie." Once again, the red and yellow silhouettes of the cast were shown. This time though, none of the remaining silhouettes blackened.

The entire room was silent, distress and confusion coming in waves as the class digested what they just heard. The possibility of being more than just one Ultimate Despair, the reminder of Mukuro possibly being one of them, the Ultimate Despair also being involved in this mysterious Tragedy…

It was a lot to take in for several students. For others, however, it was a moment of pondering. And after that moment passed, one student stood up; jolting the rest out of their thoughts.

"I've seen enough." Byakuya declared firmly, his eyes narrowed into a glare. "Waited long enough. It's time we get more answers." The Togami heir aimed his glare at the Ultimate Soldier, whose eyes were away from everyone.

"This is your last chance, Ikusaba. Speak. Now."

And that's the end. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Shorter than usual, I know, but I felt that this was a good place to end it. Besides, I know several of you were chewing at the bits for me to get this chapter posted, lol.

The viewing of the fifth chapter has now officially ended. Next up will be the break, which'll likely be just one or two chapters, before finally getting to the final chapter of the game. We're at the Endgame now people. Strap on to your seats. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you later.
