Hehe~ lil' despair. Thought'd it be fun...oh...I suggest you don't choose favorites.

I am going to completely base it off of the anime, like- several deaths will be similar (executions won't though) but the order will be different. Also, people who had formerly known each other and even were related will not know each other.

Have fun...hold onto your hope. *giggles happily*

-

My back hurt.

That was the very first thought that surfaced in my mind, back pressed against a smooth, marble-like surface.

"Ow..."

My joints popped as I sat up, twisting sideways to both stretch and take in my surroundings.

This is...a classroom..?

I didn't have much experience in being in a classroom, since I was homeschooled.

"Ping-pong! It is now 8:00 AM. Please go to the gym ASAP. Check your electronic ASTA for direction if you're dumb enough not to read the arrows."

"Well...that's rude," I murmured as the crackling announcement ended. Patting my pockets, I felt a lump in my hoodie pocket, and pulled out a small navy-blue device that looked like a passport.

I opened it as the blue green greeted me, flashing a loading sign before it 'logged in'.

Name: Ferran Mounste
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Title: Ultimate Dragon Tamer

"How did these guys get so much..." I trailed off, scanning through the rest of my profile. My stomach twisted at the thought and I attempted to pry at any secrets lurking in the corner of my brain.

Nothing.

Okay then, Ferran, I thought. What are the names of your family members...?

Besides what the profile had given me (the names of my mother and father), not a single name came to mind.

Amnesia.

There was no doubt that's what I have. There may be some clues I had overlooked, but I had no memories of the supposedly fifteen years I've lived.

"Erythos! Ferran! Ashita! Come on, everyone else is here!"

My frame tensed at my name, and I tested the knob, the door swinging open after I turned it.

My room led to a  giant hallway, the
windows (that's what I assumed they were)  sealed shut with metal bolts and coating.

"Hey!"

I started walking as an older blonde jogged up, offering me a smile. "You heading to the gym?"

I tilted my head to look up at him, seeing how I was a bit lower then his shoulder. "Um...yes, sir. And who might you be?"

"The name's Erythos. You?"

"Ferran."

He frowned slightly, his brow knitting together. "Once we get to the gym, that last person- Ashita- will be the only one we're waiting for, right?"

I turned right after glancing at an arrow, reaching the double-doors. "Have...have you checked your passport-thing yet?"

"Uh-huh. That's why I was late," he said, then pushed the door open.

Before I explain, I really hate big groups. My limbs get all shaky, and my throat gets dry, even if I'm not being spoken too.

To have about fifteen eyes turn to me made me want to hide behind Erythos.

"S-Sorry...we're...late..." I managed out, trying to resist flinching. 

" 'Tis fine," a black-haired male said near me. "But you guys are last."

I looked around the room to meet everyone's gaze (well, trying to). "Um..so...do you...guys know..."

"Nope," a silver-hair grunted. "We're still waiting for something to happen."

There was silence after that, everyone cast into dark thoughts at what might happen until a petite blue-haired woman spoke up. 

"I mean...it's just a gathering, right?"

"Just a gathering? I love your words, Ashita~ Ha!"

Everyone whipped around to stare at the brunette suddenly appearing on top of the platform. A chill ran down my back at her strange appearance- one half of her clothes white, the other black along with a black streak on one side and a white streak on the opposite side in her hair. What was most frightening though was the tortured expression of the half-mask she wore. A eye-hole that resembled a jagged scar ran across it, but it blazed red. 

"Hiya!" she chirped. 

Silence answered her.

"Geez, aren't you guys a silent bunch...well. How about you guys introduce yourselves to the others. Say your name and title. If ya don't know what your title is, check your handbook!" 

She plopped down in the throne at the back of the platform before lazily stretching out, then narrowed her eyes- eye. "Get on with it!"

I blinked, turning towards Erythos as he headed towards the blackboard. He tapped it slightly with the chalk. "Might as well do what she says and get down to business," he said, a serious edge to his tone.

His back facing us, he scribbled something down.

"My name is Erythos- my title, as she called it, is the Ultimate Animal Master."

On the board, it read Erythos- Ultimate Animal Master.

"Whose's next?"

The seemingly-twin silver-hairs raised their hands at the same time. The shorter-haired glared at the other before stalking up and writing. "Zyicho. Ultimate Knife-Thrower."

"Hey..." I raised my hand, stiffening as his topaz irisies fastened on me.  "Are you and him related?"

Zyicho's eyes narrowed. "Him? Not at all."

"Nope," the long silver-haired added. "Oh~ I'm Zygrado, Ultimate Blade-Master."

"Care to explain?"

A maroon-haired boy shoved his way to the front, and everyone either gasped or went completely silent.

"Are those...ram horns...?" Ashita, the blue-haired woman, wondered, her head cocked to the side.

He scratched his cheek,  touching the ram horns producing out his head. "I really do not know."

"Oh, I can help with that," the black-and-white girl supplied. "Vin, you're an alien. Your species is different from a human's."

Vin blinked, his cobalt-blue eyes twinkling. "Ah. I get it. But do please explain why you are..." he leaned closer to Zygrado. "The Blade-Master."

As quick as lightning, both Zyicho's and Zygrado's weapons were drawn and clashing. In each hand, Zyicho held a knife, spinning it expertly as he deflected Zygrado's flashing blades.

"Aye!" The black-and-white girl shrieked. "Get on with the damn introductions!"

Zygrado took a step back and bowed, blades vanishing out of sight. "Might as well get on with it," he said with a grin.

There were sixteen of us altogether.

Erythos- Ultimate Animal Master.

Zyicho- Ultimate Knife-Thrower.

Zygrado- Ultimate Blade-Master.

Vin- Ultimate Teacher. Vin also said he was labeled as the Ulimate Magician and showed us the birthmark trailing from his right shoulder to his elbow.

Ashita- Ultimate Cook/Baker.

Jaylen- Ultimate Fighter

Kishiko- Ultimate Computer Technician

Rei- Ultimate Commander

Ezra- Ultimate Murder Investigator

Jackie- Ultimate Writer

Cobalt- Ultimate Escapee

Tyria- Ultimate Doctor

Shinji- Ultimate Gunner

Kimi- Ultimate Musician

Casper- Ultimate Survivor

Ferran- Ultimate Dragon Tamer

"About time," the brunette commented, dangling her legs off the throne. "The name's MonoRio- I'm your principal."

"Principal?" Casper spluttered. "I'm twenty-two, I'm out of school already!"

"Yeah, me too," Erythos tacked on. His tone was light, but the darkness behind his eyes told me that he was completely serious. "I'm twenty-six."

MonoRio flicked a hand at them. "Would you rather call myself your owner?" When silence answered her, she smiled. "That's what I thought. Anyway."

"Why are we here?" Jackie, the black-haired adult who had greeted me when I entered, fiddled with the zipper of his jacket. 

"Tsk, tsk, patience," she said, twirling her hair around her finger. "All I want is for you sixteen to play a game with me."

Shinji took a daring step forward, his dark eyes nearly slits. "It better be a game, because all this with amnesia...I don't like it."

She grinned, her hands scratching at her neck. "Ah..this game..it might take days, maybe even weeks..possibly months. I doubt the latter, though."

"Okay," I said, trying my hardest to keep the quiver out of my words. "Explain the game to us."

"It's a game of despair~!"

Those five words made me freeze, and all motion that was in my sight stopped. MonoRio took this as a signal to keep going.

"There's only one way to graduate!" They giggled. "Wanna hear it?"

Jaylen growled.

"You have to kill one of your classmates."

Zyicho chuckled. "Clearly you know nothing about me...I might have amnesia, but I can- no, I know I've killed someone before."

The meaning of his words hung in the air for a moment, heavy as the weight-lifting dumbbells wrestlers sometimes had. 

MonoRio laughed, a high, tinkling sound. "Don't worry, Chio-Chio...I know everything about you. Favorite food, your love interest..."

Cobalt- no doubt named from the color of her eyes- tensed. "We just need to kill someone...?"

"You're taking this awfully calmly," the principal noted. 

The Ultimate Escapee froze before walking away, taking a sitting position beside Kishiko. 

"Besides, that's not all...you have to get away with the murder...if you don't..." her lips twitched. "I have something in store for each one of you- any of you could become a killer..."

I don't want to die. 

Confusing...? Sorry...basically one of the students, or one of the sixteen, have to get away with killing one of the other students to graduate. 

I'll probably be posting a new one whenever I'm bored~
