44.
"Where do we start?" Akane questions the room. No one said a single word.
How do I win this?
"What is this world's true identity?" Monokuma asked and we all pondered the thought.
"A game." I told them bluntly. "Yes! Everything here is a game. This world is not real."
"You're lying!" Sonia says in shock. "The future foundation created this program called the Neo World Program."
Monokuma then continued. "Your bodies are being submerged into this world. Like avatars."
"Is that why we don't have our school memories?" Hajime asked.
Everyone was upset about this situation, but I think this is the least of our worries.
"Hajime, it's not like you have any memories with us to begin with." I grumbled.
"What are you talking about?" He snapped at me. "Nothing really."
I didn't understand why we needed this trial to explain our situation.
"Anyway, Monokuma is right. I saw this odd newspaper article that had Hiyoko looking much older." Hajime said
"So that means everyone we killed should be alive in the real world." Fuyuhiko said happily.
"Nope! If they died in this world then they also died in the real world."
"What the fuck!!" Fuyuhiko shouts.
"No one would appreciate a game if you die in game world but not the real one. Puhuhuhu."
"We didn't risk our lives for that." Hajime said in disbelief.
"We'll blame the future foundation for forcing you guys into this situation." The bear said smugly.
"So Chiaki and Monomi risk everything to help us and they were taken out." Sonia didn't hide her sadness.
"Oh I see so our real enemy is the future foundation." Akane shouts.
Her brain must be fried for being in overdrive right now.
"No that's not true until Monokuma showed up everything was peaceful." Hajime insisted.
"Was it? Why were we on this island to begin with then?" I tilt my head at him.
"Be-Because maybe Monokuma was trying to hurt us and the future foundation saved us."
Hajime tried to justify that unknown action.
I laughed. "They view us as monsters and were hunting us down to kill. If we leave here alive that will continue."
"How do you know this?" Shark boy questioned me. I slammed my hands on the podium and smirked.
"I have my memories, every single one from school and beyond." They all flinched as they were in shock.
"There's no way that's true." Baby gangster replied. "It is really I don't care to lie right now."
I pointed my fingers to Monokuma. "He may have inflicted the killing game onto us, but it was bound to happen."
"We aren't monsters. We would never kill our classmates. Never." Hajime gritted his teeth.
"You aren't even one of us. You're just some reserve student who wanted what we had. Talent."
"How can we trust your words [Name]?" Sonia questioned me. I just laughed.
"Don't if you can't. I don't give a damn anymore. He's the outcast, he's the reason Chiaki died in the real world and now."
"I've done nothing! Stop blaming me for your issues you can't get past. I would never hurt Chiaki!"
Hajime began to cry. I cracked a smile. Let's bring him into despair.
"Who even are you? Are you really Hajime Hinata?" I leaned over the podium to question him.
"Y-Yes I am." "Not someone completely different named Izuru?" I saw his body grow stiff.
"You let and watched Chiaki died. You left her alone when she cared for the real you."
"Stop it!" He cried as he held his head. "I did nothing. I am Hajime."
"Though you seemed to hate that version of yourself. That's why you gave up your body. To feel special. To be a somebody in your world full of nobodies."
"That's enough. What are you even talking about?" Fuyuhiko questioned me.
"Hajime isn't real. He's someone named Izuru Kamakura. The mastermind behind pretty much everything."
"Mastermind?!" Soda shrieks. "That cannot be true [Name]." Sonia whined.
I only rolled my eyes.
"Hello can you guys hear me?" A boys voice entered the room and soon followed was his body.
"Oh wow it's the future foundations golden boy." Monokuma snickered.
"Who are you?" Akane asked in defense.
"My name is Mokoto Naegi and I am from the future foundation to save you all."
"You're Mokoto?" I glared at the boy. "You're the one who-" Quickly I covered my mouth.
"What are you saving us from if you put us in here?" Sonia questioned him.
"No we didn't do it to hurt you guys, it was to protect you all." Mokoto informed us.
"The point of this program was to recover from despair. That way you guys would be safe."
"But we failed if we killed each other. Which means [Name] was right, we're going to be killed if we leave here alive."
Kazuichi tone was low as realization hits them.
"[Name]? As in the ultimate guesser?" He turned to me with anger in his eyes.
I gleefully smiled at him. "The one and only."
"Fine I'll be honest for a moment. The future foundation is trying to kill you guys, but I won't let that happen."
"Why are we being targeted?" Hajime asked. Mokoto stayed silent.
"It's because we are rements of despair. We are a group who caused the world to go into chaos."
I told them all. "So why don't they just kill the leader and leave us alone?" Fuyuhiko questioned Mokoto.
I frowned.
"They were killed." He then stared at me and Hajime. "It's just Junko Enoshima has been tainting the systems you all are connected in."
"You mean as Monokuma?" Sonia tone was polite. "Yes and to get rid of her completely we need to clear the drive."
Everyone was silent.
"Let's get to the good stuff." Monokuma said and a giant phone and stands with two buttons appeared.
On that phone was someone who I cared for deeply.
My eyes began to water as I remembered our past.
"Don't cry you're going to make me cry too." Mushrooms appeared on her head while I laughed.
"I've missed you Junko." I smiled at her. "Likewise [Name]."
"You know her?" Hajime asked. "You do too. Well not as this version." I said to him.
"My name is Junko Enoshima, the ultimate despair." She proudly stated.
"And I'm giving you two options. Graduate or repeat."
She then goes into details on what will happen to us for both options.
Being stuck here to live a simple life didn't sound bad. If it meant I got to be with Nagito again.
"If I can see Peko and spend those days just relaxing and enjoying life then why would I repeat?"
Fuyuhiko stated.
"Yeah we can just forget all that happened and be with our friends again." Akane added to the glumly mood.
"You guys can't choose that option." Mokoto pleaded.
"If we don't choose, this will continue. I don't want to be the bad person anymore. I don't want to kill anyone else." Sonia said with tears streaming down her face.
"The future foundation will protect you guys. I swear on my life." He banged on his chest.
"If you do the shutdown sequence we will save everyone." "How can you trust this guy? Just because he's the ultimate hope?"
Junko then laughed. "There is no shutdown sequence. The only choice is to graduate or to repeat."
This felt nice. This feeling was great.
I just want to see you two again that's all. I don't care if I have to stay here and give up my body.
I'd give my life for you Junko.
