Chapter 1: Arrival of the Genocider

(3rd Person's POV)

"AHHHH!" Komaru screamed as she hurtled to the ground. She eventually lands on a rooftop, though thanks to the parachute, she's fine. ...Mostly, at least. "Ow ow ow ow..." She winced. "Ugh... that was so scary!"

But before she can get a grip, she heard shaking sounds and laughing as she saw multiple Monokuma robots heading straight for her. "They're here..." Komaru shivered as she hid under her parachute as the Monokumas start closing in. 

"Please help me, please help me, please help me, please help me, please help me..." She muttered to herself. But right as a Monokuma raised its claw, it's stopped by a clashing sound. "...Huh?"

Komaru takes a peek under her parachute to see a razor-sharp scissor clashing with the Monokuma's claw. The feminine figure holding the scissor stabbed the head of the Monokuma then starts slashing the other robots present until they were nothing but scrap metal.

"Hehehehe..." The feminine figure giggled. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, killing these things just doesn't light my fire!"

Komaru blinked in confusion as the girl turned around to reveal...

...It's another old friend of ours!

"Foooound you..." The girl sang as the Monokumas blew up, covering the area in smoke and mist. But through the dust, the girl launched out and got right up in Komaru's face.

"Eep!"

"Hey, you! You're Komaru Naegi, right? Right right right? Isn't that riiiight?" The girl smirked as she held up a razor-sharp scissor to her neck. "If you're not, you better tell me... I'll cut you into pieces and line you up at the meat counter!"

Komaru shrieked before quickly nodding. "Th-that's right! I'm Komaru Naegi!"

But as those words exited her maw, more Monokuma robots show up. "Oh no... there's more of them!" Komaru cried.

"Kyahahahaha!" The girl burst into laughter before sighing. "Man, what a pain." She mumbled as she threw another scissor at one of the Monokumas, which promptly made it blow up. The girl then grabbed Komaru's wrist as they ran. "Reeeendezvous!"

Once they hid behind a good hiding spot, the girl sighed. "Ahh, so that Monokuma's some kind of automation robot... I see, I see... Ha! No wonder it sucks more than the other one! Well, that's modern technology for you! I mean, it's not like this is sci-fi or something. It's borderline sci-fi at most. Kyeeeahahaha!"

"U-Um..." Komaru stuttered, gaining the girl's attention.

"Yes, madame? What business do you have with me?"

"A-Are you...here to rescue me?" Komaru asked before the girl pointed a scissor at her. "Ah!"

"...Hm, Dekomaru, was it?"

"I-It's "Komaru"... Komaru Naegi!"

The girl sickly smiled at her. "And where's Master Byakuya? You know where he is, right?"

"H-Huh?"

The girl pointed at the Hacking Gun. "That gun you're holding...it's dripping with Master's scent..." 

Komaru blinked. "Y-You can...smell it?"

The girl quickly narrowed her eyes as she continued pointing the scissor at Komaru. "You got a death wish or somethin'?! Hiding Master from me will cut your life expectancy!"

Komaru shook her head. "N-No, no, no, I'm, I'm not hiding hi--"

The girl made a deadpan look. "Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven..."

"...Wh-What are you doing?"

"If you don't give me my Master by the time I get to zero, I'm gonna cut you like wet mochi! ...Four. Three. Two..."

"H-Hold on! I really don't know--"

"One... ..."

Komaru's shoulders shook. She braced for impact, but suddenly, the girl's arm started shaking. She made some weird gurgling-like noises and her eyes start spinning like a slot machine. Suddenly, it stops as the girl's crimson red eyes turned grey. She blinked as she dropped the scissors.

"Wh-who are you?" The girl stuttered.

"Huh!?" Komaru cocked her head to the side.

"Ah, wait!" She exclaimed. "Don't tell me! You're Komaru Naegi, aren't you?! I got it, right?!"

"Uh, I...just told you that..." Komaru told her.

"Oh, did you?" The girl blinked before frowning. "I-I can't help it, y'know! I don't share memories with her!"

"Her? Memories...?" Komaru repeated before shaking her head. "Gah, jeez! Stop saying stuff that makes no sense! Everything is confusing enough as it is... At least tell me whether you're an enemy or a friend!"

"W-Well...you can call me your ally." The girl said.

"Then come on! If we don't hurry, we're gonna get attacked!"

"I-It's alright..."

"...Huh?"

"N-No it's...it's alright...I can do it because... I made a promise... With hiiim..." She then creepily started hugging herself as she let her imagination wander.

In her fantasy...

"F-Fukawa..."

"Y-Yes..."

"That ability...is not a curse, it's a talent. An a-amazing talent...that holds...ah... incredible possibilities!"

"Ah! Master! Th-Th-Thank you! ...Thank you! Very! Much!"

"Master that talent... Do it for me! And for her, as well!"

"Y-Y-Yeees!"

Some incredibly suggestive white spurts cover the screen.

---

"Ha...Ha...Ha..."

Komaru sweatdropped. "Um...are you okay?"

Snapping back to reality, Toko blinked as she frowned. "Like I said, it will be alright! I can make good use of her now! I've learned a lot since then... We're gonna take them all down right here, right now! I'll, I'll...smash 'em to pieces!" She declared. "We're gonna take them all down right here, right now! I'll, I'll...smash 'em to pieces! L-Let's go! Um... O... Omaru Naegi!"

"Omaru!?"

Before she had time to retort on her misnaming, multiple Monokuma robots jumped out and giggling, brandishing their claws.

"C-Come on! Let's do this!" Toko shouted as she placed a taser gun to her head.

"H-Huh?! Hey, what're you-?!" 

Toko tased herself in the head as her eyes turned right back into crimson red, turning her back into Genocide Jill. "Kyehehehahahaha!"

She then rushed all the Monokuma robots and slashed them every which way. She stabbed one in the torso and slashed it apart, then used the other free scissor to slit the other in the neck before rising it up and decapitating it.

"Alright, I think that's enough warm-ups! Time for the big finish!"

Genocide Jill smirked as she held her razor-sharp scissors close to her as the Monokuma robots jumped over her. The entire screen went black as multiple slashing noises can be heard before the color returned to see all the Monokuma robots down on the ground with multiple slash cuts in them. Genocide Jill laughed before her eyes rolled back as she turned back into Toko.

"Ugh..." She groaned before looking back at Komaru. "Th-That was all of them, right?"

"...Amazing... " Komaru muttered in awe. "That was amazing! What was that just now!? It's like you were a totally different person!"

"...Too casual." Toko narrowed her eyes.

" ...Huh?"

"D-Don't speak to me so casually, like I'm one of your friends or something! I'm your senior!"

"B-But! You...still haven't told me your name."

"Hmph... I'm sure you're just going to forget it right away, but... It's Toko Fukawa."

"Toko...Fukawa..."

Toko's eye twitched. "Oh, sorryyy for having such a boring name! I bet you think it's perfect for a hag like me, right!?"

Komaru's eyes widened before shaking her head. "I-I don't think that at all! And anyway... What was that all about earlier? You were a completely different person."

Toko sighed. "I couldn't tell you."

"...What?"

"I d-don't remember. Didn't I already tell you? We don't share memories."

"Um... I don't really get it..."

Toko groaned. "Gr, it's like I said! I have a split personality! That...girl...was Genocide Jack!"

"..." Komaru's face went blank before she scratched her cheek. "...Oookayyy?"

"Y-You don't believe me, right? You think I'm just some filthy woman who's sick in the head!" Toko assumed. "Y-You're probably wondering how a stupid pig managed to l-learn how to talk, aren't you!?"

"I don't think that! ...Well, maybe the first bit..." Komaru admitted. "I mean, it's true that it's...a little hard to believe, and I was...pretty surprised... But if that's what you say, I believe you. It was a pretty drastic change, after all..."

Toko looked at her in shock. "You believe me just like that? What are you, stupid or something?"

Komaru shrugged. "Well, what was I supposed to say!?"

Toko sighed. "Well, if you really are this stupid, that just makes this easier..."

"I-It's just..." Komaru placed a finger on her chin. "I feel like I've heard the name "Genocide Jack" somewhere before..."

"I-I see... So you still remember... Well, no point in hiding it now. It was all over the talk shows back in the day, after all..." Toko mumbled.

"Talk shows...? Wait, could it be...?" Komaru shook her head. "...No, never mind. Couldn't be."

"Wh-What?"

"It's just, I feel like I've heard a similar name on the news about some serial killer..."

Toko nodded. "...Yeah. That's the one."

"...What!?"

"B-But! That was just in the old days! I-I've completely tamed her since then!" Toko then felt a blush coming up as she smirked. "Mmm... Master commanded me to discover the secret, and I learned the stun gun does the trick... And depending on how much shock I give myself, after a while I go back to my normal self." She giggled. "Hehehe, isn't it great!? It's all thanks to Master Byakuya!"

Komaru nodded. "Uh, anyway... It seems like a good skill to have. With that power, we can get through 'em easy."

Toko frowned. "D-Don't be dense!"

"Huh?"

"Didn't I just say I need the stun gun to change!? My brain would fry if I just did it over and over! I can't just use it at will like that..."

"Really...?"

Toko shook her head, mumbling something before looking at Komaru. "Anyway, what is your relationship with Master Byakuya, hm? Why do you have that Hacking Gun?"

"I-I was saved by him earlier... H-He gave this gun to me." Komaru explained.

"S-Saved!? Master Byakuya...saved you!?" Toko gasped as she started hugging herself again.

---

In Toko's fantasy...

"I will... I will protect Komaru Naegi! I swear on my life! ...No... I swear in the name of the Togami family!"

---

"Ugh... GrrRrrRrr!" Toko growled as a tic mark appeared on the side of her head. "You better not get ahead of yourself! J-Just because you're ugly in a...in a cute way!"

"Why are you angry!?" Komaru asked.

"R-Remember this: I won't let anyone interfere in my romance with Master! I'm going to rescue Master, and then, in the heat of the moment, we'll... Oooh!"

Komaru stopped. "Huh? Rescue? W-Wait! Hold on! Togami...was captured!?"

"What, you just figured that out? Why would I even be here if it weren't for Master?" Toko pointed out. "He was probably ambushed by cowards... There's no way he'd just allow himself to be captured...

"I-I see..." Komaru closed her eyes, a solemn expression on her face. "So he was caught after all..."

Toko furrowed her eyebrows. "You better not feel responsible for this! Your guilt would be an insult to my Master!"

Komaru sighed before nodding. "You're right... My worrying won't change anything..."

"..." Toko turned around before mumbling. "Ugh, what's with this chick...?! Can't believe I gotta take this indecisive girl... But at least she can help me find her, like Mistress told me..."

Komaru tilted her head. "...What was that?"

"N-Nothing! And watch your mouth!" Toko commanded.

"I'm...so terribly...sorry?" Komaru raised an eyebrow.

Toko sighed. "It's fine, you're a lost cause, anyway. But more importantly, I want to hurry up and find Master. Now is not the time to relax."

"Y-You're right. We've gotta get out of this building."

"Well then, after you."

"Huh!? Why do I have to go first!?"

"Y-You have Master's gun, don't you!?" Toko pointed out. "But don't worry, when you're really in trouble, I'll save you... I can't have you dying on me..."

"O-Okay..."

CRASH!

Komaru widened her eyes. "H-Huh?"

The two girls turned around to see multiple Monokuma robots falling from the sky and landing hard on the ground, all of them inactive and crackling electricity before blowing up.

"W-What the...?" Toko wondered.

"Huh...I didn't think they'd take that long to explode like that, especially after what you did to them..." Komaru said.

"Y-You idiot! That w-wasn't me!" Toko said.

"Huh? Then who...?"

The Monokumas then exploded as a feminine figure walked through the smoke. She had very pale skin, rosy pink cheeks, golden blonde hair that went down to her knees with a large bang covering up her left eye, a crimson red sweater vest and a light blue skirt that went down to her knees as well, along with black stockings and dark blue Mary Janes.

"W-Who's that...?" Komaru wondered, looking a bit nervous.

"Wait..." Toko squinted her eyes a bit. "That looks like..." 

"Huh? You girls..." The blonde said, her voice unusually monotone. 

"U-Um..." Komaru trailed off, looking a little off-put.

"Hm?" The blonde's eyes darted down to her wrist. "That wristband... You have it, too?"

"Too?" Komaru widened her eyes. "Wait, so you..."

"Met those kids as well?" She finished as she raised up her hand to reveal that she had the same wristband strapped to her wrist. "Yeah..." She nodded before clearing her throat. "Oh wait, I haven't introduced myself yet. Sorry about that. My name's Akira Shirayuki."

Toko gasped. "S-So...you are...!"

Komaru smiled as well. "Nice to meet you, Akira. My name's Komaru Naegi, and that's Toko Fukawa." She greeted, pointing her thumb behind where Toko was. "So if you're in the same situation as me, then I guess that makes us friends, right? Wanna come along with us? We're trying to get out of this place."

"Oh, of course." Akira nodded. "I wanna get outta here as soon as possible."

"T-Then let's go already!" Toko spoke up. "We don't have time to be jittering around! C'mon!"

"F-Fine..." Komaru said, following Toko with Akira in tow.
