"No matter who the enemy may be,
those who can't adapt will be
the first to die."

"Y/N are you coming with us?" Shuichi asked as both him and Kaede were at the door.

    "I was thinking of sitting down here, I'm a little tired..." I looked to both Kokichi and Keebo with a smile. "Maybe I could rest for a bit. I'll catch up ahead with you guys in a bit!"

    "Be careful okay.." Shuichi hesitantly closed the door behind him. I waved at him with a smile before the door closed fully. I turned around to both the boys in front of me.

    Taking out my sketchbook, I sketched out everyone we met today. Or, more or less met so far. I wrote down everything I knew about them on the pages.

    "Whatcha doing?" A high voice asked.

     I softly jumped before I turned my head looked straight into Kokichi's eyes. "Writing down everything I've learned."

    "That's kinda suspicious, why are you writing down information about us?" K1-B0 accused.

    "I mean, it is a big part of my ultimate talent..."

    "Speaking of your ultimate, what is it?" Kokichi asked.

    "Oh! Allow me to lift your spirits! My name is Y/N L/N, I'm the Ultimate Journalist! Nice to meet cha'!"

yes I'm using this image again,
it was too cool for me not too—-

    "An ultimate Journalist? That's kinda lame.."

    "It may be boring but it's actually quite fun." I hummed and continued to sketch out on the paper. Kokichi looked at where I was sketching his hair.

    "Can I..?"

    "You wanna try it? Go ahead."

    I slid over on the chair and pushed my notebook and pencil next to him. He brightened up and started to scribble away.

    "Y/N, if I may, can I try and draw myself as well?" Keebo asked.

    "Of course! Oh! And write down anything you want me to know about yourselves!" The boys grinned and tugged the book between themselfs. I grinned at the duo, usually they fight with each other. It's nice to see them so happy with each other.

    "Kokichi! Do not grab the pages so hard!" K1-B0 cried. 'Looks like I've spoke too soon'

"Nee-hee-hee! I'm not pulling on it hard!" The purple hair boy grinned. "You just gotta let me finish writing!"

He argued "B-but you've finished ages ago!"

"Can I see what you guys wrote?" I asked. Kokichi happily slid back the notebook. Their drawings of themselves are so cute I couldn't help but hold a soft grin onto my face. I hope when I finished the game I could keep the notebook...

    Ding Dong, Bing Bong

    "What? A bell?" K1-B0 asked. We turned our attention to the small screen in the corner of the room.

    "My heart stopped. This reminded me of the announcement they show when a body has been discovered....

   "Hi~Thanks for bear-ing with us" Monophanie spoke up first.

     "Kept you bastards waiting, huh!?" Monokid grinned.

     Monotaro said "Everyone, make your way to the gym please."

     "The opening ceremony can finally begin!"

     "Phew! We finally finished our preparations!"

    "Do you realized you read your lines backwards, don't you?"

    "So long! Bear-well!"

     We looked at eachother before we started to pack up. I put my things back inside my satchel before sliding it back over my shoulder. We rushed outside, running past all the greenery and through the hallways. We stumbled over each other, they were much faster than me and made it to the gym first.

     "Nee hee-hee, geez Y/N, i never expected you to be slow!" Kokichi poked fun at me. I walked to the door and caught my breathe before standing up again.

     "T-This satchel is h-heavy..."

     "If you do not mind! I can carry it for you!" Keebo offered.

    "Baby, i dont think you could even carry me." The words slipped out of my mouth before i could notice. 'D-did i call him baby?! Oh no...I usually called them my husband and babys normally, but i didnt expect it to spring out on me.'

    "B-baby?!" Kokichi cried.

    "S-Sorry, it just slipped out!"

     Keebo's face was completely red and pointed at me, "I-I'm not as weak as I look! My strength may be equivalent to a seniorly citizen but do not underestimate me!"

     "Im sorry, keebo." Kokichi shook his head with anger and opened the door....why is he so angry..

      "All seventeen of us have gathered...." Tojo thought with a hand on her chin.

   'Were they waiting on us..?'

    "Hmm, is pretty spectacular seeing all 17 of us ultimates gathered together." Kaito blurted

     "Kehehe...You may not be able to be so easygoing for much longer..." I forgot how wired Korekiyo was..

   "In this situation, its no use thinking about things. So eventually, tsumugi stopped thinking"

      "Nyeeh....whats going to happen to us? I bet itll be a big pain"

     "Um, himiko, you can use amazing powers, right?! Cus you're a psychic and stuff, right?" Tenko asked.

    "Im a mage, not a psychic...."

    "Woaaa! Thats amazing!" Tenko praised. They started talking about training and neo-aikido.

    "Youre pretty lazy" Kaede pointed out.

    "Pardon me, but....we need to be on our guard. We do not know if danger will strike." K1-BO directed our attention back to the important task at hand.

   "D-Dont say that.. I'm so scared... I dont know what to do.." Kokichi fake cried.

    "There is no need to worry. Atua will protect us."

   "Phew! Thats a relief!"

    "Is your brain full of weeds or sumthin'? I'll wack 'em outta that skull of yours!" Miu snarled.

    "C-can we not resort to violence...?" I asked

     "Dont worry about it! Just leave it to me!" Kaito placed a hand on my shoulder. "If those teddy bears show themselves again, i'll kick all their asses! Have nothing to fear! I'll protect you!"

    "...Huh? What that?"

    "Hm? Whats wrong?" Ryoma asked from Gonta question.

    "Listen...hear that?"

   "Ah, i think i hear it! It sounds like an engine from a robot anime--" Tsumugi was cut off.

    Suddenly all the exiles popped up out of nowhere. Everyone let out a scream as Kaito tightened his grip around me. 'Why is he acting like im a love interest?'

    "Yoo-hoo! Rise and shine, ursine!"

    "Everyone, behind gonta!"

    Tenko cried "Wh-What the heck are these...monsters!?"

    "Woaaah!" Kokichi grinned "So cooooooool!"

     "They're Exisals--highly mobile, bipedal weapons platforms! They got lotsa hometown pride, to" Monokid introduced.

   "...i cant keep track of these backstories." Monosuke grinned.

    "Wh-Whatever they are, they better kill off the uggos and save me for last!" Miu snarled.

   "Run, Himiko!" Kokichi said. I never caught it before but he was calling Himiko ugly, i laughed at his joke. He gave me a cheeky grin while Himiko asked him why she should run.

    "Hm, didnt someone say they would 'kick all their asses'?" Maki mocked

  "And someone was going to protect me?"

    "Wh-What the hell!? Nobody told me about these!" Kaito remarked

     "It looks like Y/N is protecting him more then he is protecting her!" Kokichi giggled.

      "Alright, chill out, no need to panic... We're probably not in any danger. If they wanted to kill us, theyve wanted to do it by now." Rantaro casually walked up to the Exisals. "So, what do you want from us? You clear want something, thats what the guns are for, right?"

      I wiggled myself out of Kaitos grasp and walked up next to Rantaro, i tugged on his arm. "Even if they want something from us, its best not to get so close to them..."

      "They wont hurt us, dont worry.. Let me guess. You're gonna force us to do something, and if we don't, we get hurt. Well, you have our attention. So what do you want?"

     "Huh. Well arent you a wiseguy?" Monosuke growled.

     "Ill start us off! Listen up, heres what we want you punkasses to do!" MonoKid agreed "My hearts going at 100 miles per hour! Ima say it, ima say it! Its a--"

"KILLING-GAME." Monodam stole his thunder.

      "W..what?" Kaede asked.

     They continued to talk among themselves and Monodam stealing Monokids lines. They continued to fight amongs themselves like little kids. I guess even robo siblings fight.

     "Now now.." A voice called out.

    "Monokuma?" I mumbled softly. Rantaros eyes widened when i said it.

     "My cute little cubs...You gotta knock off this awful fighting!"

    "Oh! That voice!" fanny. They all started to scream with glee. They jumped out of the exisles while the gymnasium lights shut off. Monokuma with wings jumped up onto the stage.

    "I am the god of this new world...and the headmaster of this headmaster, the one and only....Monokuma! Nice to meet cha!" They talked among themselves and monokuma punched them all multiple times.

    I ignored them and looked at the Exisles...I always wondered what was in them...

    I slowly shimmered away from Rantao and walked up the machines. I placed my foot on the knees of the Exisles and hauled myself upwards. I slowly started to climb it. When i reached the top, i looked inside. Buttons and bright flashing lights.

     "HEY! YOU!" i jolted up from my head inside the monokubs toys. Everyones attention was now on me, even rantaro was curious. "GET OUT OF THAT THING!"

      "Calm your horses, i just wanted to get a peek of the inside." I shrugged.

     "Its not for you to touch!" Monokuma growled. He whistles and the machines started to shake.

     "H-Hey! At least wait for me to get down first!" I gripped onto the Exiles harder and tried to get down.

      I lost my footing and slowly started to fall while the Exiles shot upwards. I screamed before i was met with strong arms.

     "Gonta is gentleman! Gonta never let lady fall!" Gonta grinned at me. My arms were wrapped around his neck while his hands were respectfully on my back and under my legs.

      "Puhu.... Phuhuhu..." Monokuma laughed "You should be careful, Y/N, that could've been your first gameover."

     "I could've died...?"
