Caleb awoke the next morning to a shivering and scared Hat Kid clinging to his side. He, for a brief moment, thought about how it was hopefully the second to last day he would have to spend
“Did he hurt you?” He asked, unsure if Freddy had hurt her or not.
“N-no…but he did scare me…” She replied.
“I suppose he couldn't help himself. Oh well. Wanna go do something to get your mind off it?”
“S-sure…the others said we should all go to the cafeteria…”
“Alright, let's go there then, shall we?” He asked, picking Hat Kid up. Hat Kid smiled and nodded in response.
He carried her to the elevator, calling it and waiting for to arrive. When it arrived, he got in and set Hat Kid down on the floor and then sent the elevator to the second floor.
They were alone with their thoughts, and Caleb’s turned to some morbid thoughts. What if they never came? What would happen if they never came? Would he have to kill to get out of here?
The elevator door opened, interrupting Caleb’s train of thoughts. The two then made their way over to the cafeteria, where the remainder of the ‘students’, Kazan, Rodney, and 682 were now there, seemingly crowded around something.
Caleb approached behind the back of Gerald, the shortest member of that group, to get a view of what everyone was looking at. Hat Kid somehow had managed to climb up onto Caleb’s back so she too could get a view.
‘To my dearly beloved students,
While I may be Headmaster, there is someone else in charge here, and I want you to meet them. Meet them tomorrow in the trial room at 7 in the afternoon. :)
-Monokuma’
Caleb looked at the remaining survivors, confused.
“Do you think we should take this mystery person up on this?” He asked.
[Only if we are armed to the teeth.] 682 replied, growling.
“They most likely are the orchestrator of this killing game.” Kazan pointed out.
“And only god knows what they want.” Rodney said.
Hat Kid nodded. “They’re a real bad person, whoever they are!”
Caleb nodded. “Maybe, we will have a chance to finally end the game. So let's go, yeah?” He asked, and noting that everyone answered positively, he smiled. They finally had a chance to end the game, and at a very convenient time, too.

“Holly, are you certain we’re goin’ the right way?” Tavish groaned.
“Of course we are Tavish!” She replied. “My mom was able to find out where the school was by that strange bright orange stuff, erm, what was that called again, Elliot?” She asked the cenobite walking alongside her.
“Blight.” He replied, making sure to put a hand out to catch her hand when she inevitably tried to ‘accidentally’ facepalm too hard. “Remember what your father said about that.”
“I know, I know…” She murmured, looking down at the ground. “Hux, how long until we get there?” She looked up at the biomechanical robot in front of her, and the one who had been given instructions to lead the group to the Chains Of Hope Community college.
“APPROXIMATELY: 1 DAY, 2 HOURS AT THIS RATE. IF WE ACQUIRE A VEHICLE WE CAN CUT THAT TIME DOWN BY APPROXIMATELY 10 HOURS.” He responded.
“If we can find one at this rate!” Dell, the Texan engineer and a friend of Tavish’s replied.
“YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE ENGINEER, DELL, MUCH LIKE HOW I AM THE ULTIMATE BIOMECHANICAL ROBOT. WHY CAN’T YOU BUILD US A VEHICLE?” Hux asked, tone glitching to indicate his anger.
“Son, you know damn well I don't have enough metal or time to do such a thing.” Dell responded. “Now, how about we all shut up and keep walking? All this yapping won't get us there sooner.”
The Spy nodded. “I agree with the southerner, for once. About time he said something relevant.”
“Aye! You leave Engi alone, Spy!” Tavish said.
Holly facepalmed, but not too hard. At this rate, they would never get to Chains of Hope Community College.
Oh well, it was best just to keep going and keep walking. Just keep going.
After now, stalling now would just spell doom for the remaining ‘students’. And there is no way in hell Holly is letting her brother die.
