(See the end of the chapter for more notes .)

This is the beginning of this series of mine. Hopefully I can make this do justice for the characters you all have pick for me. Anyway enjoy the story.

Chapter Text

Scene: Monokuma looking at a screen while a shadowy figure is standing behind him smiling.

Monokuma: This is great!!! I finally found a way to cross dimensions and now I can use this to kidnap anybody I want from any show and put them in my favorite sport of them all.

Mysterious Figure: And what would that be? You don't look like the type who would enjoy any form of physical labor.

Monokuma: If it was something so boring like basketball or soccer then I would have just blown the stadium up, at least it'll create despair around the world. No, I want to see more killing and more despair than anything in this despairing world I created.

Mysterious Figure: There is that word again despair. Is that something you love to say or does it mean a lot to you? Like it was what your past was engulfed by or a driving motivation do something this heinous.

Monokuma: You can figure it out yourself, right now I'm busy to prepare the arena for this next game I have been planning.

Mysterious Figure: OK, but why go as far as to study dimensional traveling and then pulling it off before the preparation? Don't tell me this was a key part of the plan that you have yet to tell me.

Monokuma: It wasn't just the key part, it was the plan. I needed to find a way to do dimensional traveling in order to capture people around the different worlds so I can put them in the killing game I told you just now.

Mysterious Figure: And why do that? What makes people in different dimensions become better prey for you Monokuma? It's not like there is a difference between people like them and people in this blasted world.

Monokuma: Well it makes it harder to track me down, I mean how could you find the killer of a person that never ever existed?

Mysterious Figure: That is true, but with the Tragedy still happening to have a few people kidnap won't bat an eye to the general public. Murder and death are really common these days.

Monokuma: Yeah, but making another mutual killing game is nothing but trouble with the Future Foundation surveying everywhere to keep an eye out for something like this. I could just make the killing game there, but I can't since their level is much bigger than mine.

Mysterious Figure: Ahh, now I see. If the Future Foundation is looking out for you in case you make another killing game then it's impossible for you to kidnap somebody without interference.

Monokuma: Looks like you were smarter then I thought! This bear is starting to feel a little fuzzy.

Mysterious Figure: I rather not hear that thought. Looks like you've got a list of people to capture...hmm, I don't think this person was somebody from another dimension. No, they are certainly from our world. I've seen him before actually.

Monokuma: Good thing you still have both eyes, unlike a certain sucker. Correct I place this idiot for a reason.

Mysterious Figure: Looks like it's something personal. I guess my time to talk to you has come to an end. I shall join the other students soon.

Monokuma: Of course, of course! Just leave everything to Monokuma and I'll get everything prepared for the best mutual killing game I ever made.

Mysterious Figure: Then it's time to for me to do my job. I just expect that you succeed on yours since you failing will also get me killed. (Leave)

Monokuma:...Upupu...if you only could make it! Mercenaries are so stupid to trust me, I mean I'm fucking Monokuma!!! They can have the money like I promise, but I hope they don't mind the way I intend to give it to them.

...

PoV: ???

I've got to wake-up...it's my turn to check for more supplies...I mean I hate dealing with Monokumas but it's part of surviving in this despairing world we live in.

Scene: A young man wakes up inside a weird bedroom.

???: This is not right. What am I doing in this random place? Did someone kidnap me while I was sleeping???

Just my luck and if weren't the beast Monokuma bad enough...

Scene: Black-screen

I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Kogami Richiko, a former student in Hope's Peak who was called the Ultimate Puzzle Master. They probably could have found a better name than that, but it's pretty accurate to what I do. Basically, I can solve anything as long as I have enough clues and time to understand it like Sudoku puzzles and even chess. People might try to suggest Ultimate Analyst instead, but I can't really analyze people's expression neither their traits through action. Honestly, if I were one of the people in charge of picking students to join the prestigious school, someone like me wouldn't be my first pick. But when you're given an opportunity you don't let it slip your way. That what my parents told me so I accepted the invitation like anyone would do.

However, the Tragedy occurred and now I have to survive. I try to reach my family, but not surprisingly Junko dealt with them like the other parents of students from Hope's Peak. It was a terrible thing to learn about it, but not knowing about it would have been worse for me. The way the people in the neighborhood described their death was something you would see in nightmares, which is not surprising since I am stuck in a nightmare. But this nightmare I currently inhabitant is one I never been inside before. It might not be a nightmare but knowing how despair works it probably is. So now begins my tale, with a pretty boring investigation about the room I was trapped in.

Kogami: Enough with sleeping better find an exit soon. If this was indeed the actions of a Monokuma, then most likely this place was trapped. I've better leave before I hear the annoying upupu that thing makes.

INVESTIGATION START!!!

Kogami: Now how do we start this? Maybe investigating the things inside the room might do the trick.

Although everything here looks as generic as an Ultimate Generic Guy. Except for the open book in the table...no wait that's pretty generic to in mystery shows like Herman Low.

[Examine Plain Book]

Kogami: What a plain book that no one would want. Such a meaningless thing, but a crazy asshole like Monokuma would definitely hide something here like a clue.

And the lady says...

Kogami: A diagram of the room. When you look it at first it looks pretty normal, but...

But when you check the diagram of the square room it shows the room isn't as square as the eye sees.

Kogami: A secret compartment, it's not that big but because it takes up the width of one of the walls it must have something very important.

If we were following the rules of a game that is, which kinda is the thing I'm going through right now.

Kogami: But before we get there we should the door first. Hopefully, it's open because the kidnapper was a dumb idiot like all those dumb henchmen in plenty of stupid action movies.

*rattle*

Kogami: Well look at that the villain is actually pretty smart. Unfortunately for me, that doesn't mean good news for me. At least I'll have some sort of challenge with this guy.

[Examine Giant Picture]

Kogami: This is the wall where the extra space is...and we see here a giant picture. I wonder if this is all a coincidence...

*crash*

Kogami: Nope! It was where the secret compartment was.

And in the secret location was none other than a!

Kogami: A chest! And inside is a key! The kidnapper seriously needs to hire a better interior designer because hiding something inside a photo is way too obvious.

Unless the kidnapper was the designer which means they have my condolence.

Kogami: And with all that done, let the door open and let me out of this room! Hopefully, the doors don't trigger some guns to kill me instantly!

[Exit the room]

Kogami: The hallway looks nice, to think the criminal would kidnap me in this regal looking location. Unless it was a mansion own by the Togami Corp which means I rather be in a city full of Monokuma then here.

Never thought I would say that, even though I completely hate Togami.

???: Looks like you solve the puzzle to and escape. Who are you and what did you mean by Togami?

When I turned I saw a very handsome man wearing a suit. His brown hair and pale skin really catch the ladies attention and even the men, including me.

Kogami: Most likely someone like you who was somebody captured and trapped in a room. All I did is escape. My identity is Kogami Richiko, you might have seen me before in Hope's Peak forum as the Ultimate Puzzle Solver.

???: Ultimate Puzzle Solver??? To think I was starting to find a pattern with the people kidnap.

A pattern and people being kidnap? That must mean more than us two were captured and they had some sort of connection.

Kogami: Yeah...and the Togami Corp is a conglomerate owned by the Togami Family. The head is pretty much what you expect from a rich family.

???: I guess I can see why you would hate that person. My name is Light Yagami and for some reason, a card in the room labeled the Ultimate Tactician.

[LIGHT YAGAMI: ULTIMATE TACTICIAN]

Ultimate Tactician? Sounds like something Hope's Peak would do.

Kogami: I guess you're like me, someone used to be a student at Hope's Peak.

Light: Hope's Peak, what is that? I never heard of a place like that before, maybe it was something from another country?

Kogami: But aren't you a Japanese? Your name Yagami is clearly something from Japan.

Light: Yes it is. but I never heard of that place. If I have to guess though I bet this Hope's Peak your talking about is somewhere in Japan.

How does he not know Hope's Peak when he has a title? I mean he is a student...right?

Kogami: Wellll yeah, it's the most popular school in Japan. A school only the best of the best could enter. The students who enter the there are called Ultimates as they are the Ultimate of what craft they do. Like me who is a specialist in Puzzle Solving.

Light: A specialist in a certain craft...I guess it makes sense to call me the Ultimate Tactician. Maybe this place is Hope's Peak and we've been brought here by the school against our own free will.

That's strange, he should know everything about what happened to the school, or at least the Tragedy. Even if he never heard of it, which is hard to believe, to begin with, the current were going through is something that clearly proves the idea of a school kidnapping us to be students is as small as Junko turning to hope.

Kogami: I really don't think so. I mean doesn't this place look like not a school?

Light: You've got a good point. I guess this means the situation were facing isn't as obvious as I first thought.

Sounds like something that will make me feel despair, how typical.

Kogami: Light, if it's alright to call you that, didn't you say something about how there was a pattern with the people kidnap? You're saying that there are more people here captured and they have all something connected.

Light: You picked it up pretty quickly, I guess it shows that title of yours isn't something you got randomly.

If you knew about Hope's Peak you would know that from the very beginning.

Kogami: So do you mind sharing what you know? It's not like I'm not an enemy, because if I were would I really share information about what I said? I could just pretend to be a person who got randomly captured because of horrible luck.

Light: You may have a point. Very well I can share that much at least. You see when I woke up I solve the room mystery thing like you and then I found myself in the hallway which is where were standing on. In order to understand what happened to us, I decided to check further and found myself what looks like an entrance to this place. Of course, I tried to open the door but you can guess base on that I'm still here.

Kogami: OK, this sounds pretty normal. Get to the weird part soon since I'm getting quite bored.

Light: Alright then, after trying to open the doors two people came in. A man named Sousuke and a girl named Yami. Both also had titles like me and those were the connection.

Kogami: Mind telling what the connection is?

Light: Check for yourself, I need to continue searching this place so we can escape. More time here is less time to do my duty. [Leave]

Duty, I guess he might have been someone in warzone which is not easy to narrow down seeing how many there are because of the Tragedy.

Kogami: Maybe I should check on those two while I'm at it. They sound more interesting than this generic hallway-

???: Who are you and why did you dare take me away from my Yuki!

What in the!? A girl who was taken away by some guy name Yuki!

Turning around I see a girl wearing what looks likes a school uniform with a very demonic glare. She had bright pink hair and looks like is ready to kill me at a moments notice.

Kogami: Uhh...I'm not sure if you understand but I'm not the kidnapper here.

???: Liar!!! Why else would you be standing in the hallway if you weren't the kidnapper!?

If you want to play the suspicion game then...

Kogami: Why would I leave myself open if I were the kidnapper? I would think leaving myself open would be stupid especially with somebody like you.

???: You've got that right-... Oh! So that's why your not the kidnapper. I get it.

Kogami: So who are you? And who is this Yuki your talking about?

???: First of all, don't call Yuki in such a disrespectful way! He deserves more than that! He deserves me to be in his side right now!

Ooookay, I get the picture. We have here a very clingy girlfriend who is so obvious that staying away from her boyfriend will just make her even more unstable.

Kogami: Alright then I won't call him like that. Now can you give me your name so it won't be just a bunch of ??? marks in my head.

Yuno: Yuno! Yuno Gasai! I'm guessing you're like me who was captured! Does that mean you have a title to?

Kogami: Why yes I do, people call me the Ultimate Puzzle Solver. Still, shock Hope's Peak acknowledges me in such a regard.

Yuno: Alright then I will remember that.

She's acting stranger than a stranger. Is it something to do with her title?

Kogami: Mind telling me your title since I told you mine?

Yuno: ...Are you sure you want to know? I might do something since you might know too much.

Kogami: Go ahead and bite, I won't make any progress if I don't get answers.

Yuno: First of all don't try to run away since I'll catch you. Now you understand, I guess it's fine now. I'm called the Ultimate Stalker.

[YUNO GASAI ULTIMATE STALKER]

Of course, she would get a title like that. Should have figured since her boyfriend pretty much was the first thing I found out about her.

Kogami: Have any reason for being called the Ultimate Stalker?

Yuno: Hehe...I would probably stop there if I were you. I wouldn't want to be in a messy situation for such a small reason.

Yup! This girl is probably the death of me if it isn't the Monokumas.

Kogami: Alright I guess I'll stop if that's what you want. But you should know I'm not the only one here so the chances of people knowing your talent are very likely.

Yuno: I don't intend to keep that a secret only the reason why. While we're talking I hope you don't intend to speak about this to anyone once were out.

Kogami: Believe me when saying that I would never want to get involved with you is true. Both you and I will be nothing but trouble in the long run.

Yuno: I'm glad you understand, now I need to find a way to reunite with Yuki. Just don't stand in my way, please. Hehehe...[Leave]

First I got a very normal and serious guy then a girl always obsessing over a boy. This really sounds like Hope's Peak, but that isn't a good sign while the Tragedy is still going on.

Kogami: Now with that over it's time for me to check the two people Light told me before. This might be fun.

[Move to Entrance]

Well, there is the doors and there is two people. But it's two boys, unlike what Light said when it was a girl and a boy. One looks like a soldier so I'm guessing that's Sousuke and the other is a weird kid with stripes on one side of his hair. Both seem to be in an argument.

???: You have to get another scar soon! Your face isn't symmetrical at all!

Sousuke: Negative sir!!! I can't receive a scar on purpose, sir!!!

I really don't want to talk with them, but I have no choice if I want to know about this place.

[Talk to Sousuke and ???]

Sousuke: *saluting* Stand in attention!

???: What are you- ...Oh, I didn't see you. You must be someone new.

Kogami: By new you mean one of the kidnap victims who just woken up then yes your right. I'm Kogami, a survivor and formerly the Ultimate Puzzle Solver.

???: Ahh...puzzles, the game where it requires perfect symmetry in order to understand what it's trying to show.

You did realize that now all puzzle is about matching one thing perfectly to the other.

???: Hold on that necklace! It isn't perfectly placed in the middle!

What the hell is he-

???: I shall fix this! Hold still while I place this necklace at the perfect angle to make it truly equal.

Kogami: Kid you're supposed to hold the necklace, not my chest! What is with the measuring tape anyway-

Sousuke: I don't want to be rude, but isn't it best to tell your identity before discussion with one another?

???: Oh yeah, I'm Death the Kid! A student in DWMA.

Kogami: Death the Kid...did your parents love you or just thought of something funny to fit your hilarious personality?

Death: No...I was named after my dad who is Lord Death.

Oh great! A kid with a dad name Lord Death, this might mean his talent is really dangerous. Just like the Ultimate Stalker Yuno Gasai.

Kogami: Say what is your Ultimate? You might not be a student at Hope's Peak, but it seems like everyone here was given a card that says their title.

Death: Mine says Ultimate Gunner, but I can't really show it since Liz and Patty aren't here.

[DEATH THE KID ULTIMATE GUNNER]

Kogami: Liz and Patty...I don't think I need to know more.

Death: There my weapons, is that really unusual.

Kogami: Yeah, but why would they be named after girls? I mean I heard weapons being named after a really catchy title but Liz and Patty isn't a fitting name for guns.

Death: Of course it is since their-

Sousuke: Excuse me, sir! Permission to speak!

Kogami: Oh yeah I forgot about you since I was too focused on the Death. You must be Sousuke, a person who Light Yagami met earlier.

Sousuke: Oh so you met Light! He was somebody me and this girl name Yami met when we escape our prison. And yes your right I am Sousuke Sagara!

Kogami: OK, so then what is your title? It seems like there is a connection to Light's Ultimate Tactician title.

Sousuke: I may not be sure, but if it helps my title is Ultimate Soldier!

[SOUSUKE SAGARA ULTIMATE SOLDIER]

I can kind of see the connection between a soldier and tactician, but whatever Yami has might either help or break my theory.

Death: A soldier and he isn't even properly fix like a real one! With that uniform losing a button he has completely lost the symmetry of his shirt.

Sousuke: I'm very sorry sir! If it would please you then I'll get this uniform fix once we get out of the enemy structure.

Death: But I really don't think it'll be that easy. No enemy will allow us to just escape after getting out of the room.

Sousuke: Still finding clues will help us...

I think both of them suddenly going from enemies to friends is kind of touching, but right now I should probably go. But before that...

Kogami: Can I ask you something Sousuke? Do you know where Yami is?

Sousuke: Sir! She went past the hallway here! It's not the same one you came from so it will lead you elsewhere!

Death: You might as well go ahead and leave us. We might find a way out of the door if we stay here long enough.

Kogami: Sure! Less time dealing with both of your problems, the better for my remaining sanity left.

Which isn't much but there is still something.

[Move to Main Hallway]

A girl named Yami should be here, but I'm not sure if it's one of the two girls here. One is a girl with short white hair and another probably the same size who has light blue short hair tied down to. Maybe I should go with the light blue hair girl, I kind imagine her parents naming her Yami.

[Talk to ???}

???: I see you were also captured here too. I don't know why anyone would, but hopefully, we could be set free soon.

Kogami: Right...you seem normal compared to other people here. I'm Kogami, the former Ultimate Puzzle Solver. I do think you also got a card to like me in the room.

???: Yes your right, I was surprised to with the title I have.

Kogami: Now that's just making me feel more curious, so what is the talent you have?

???: Well I should say my name first, I am Nagisa Shinta who is for some reason named Ultimate Teacher.

[NAGISA SHINTA ULTIMATE TEACHER]

Kogami: So your not Yami?

Nagisa: Yami, why would you think I was Yami?

Kogami: I thought you were Yami because you look like a girl who would be named Yami.

Nagisa: Th-there's no way I would be named Yami! I'm not a girl, I'm a boy!

And suddenly the gears of my brain has reached a grinding halt in my imagines. Probably because of a grave mistake I just made today.

Kogami: I guess I'm sorry for calling you a girl, but your face looks so feminine and your name is also a girl name. Well, it can be used for boys, but most Nagisas I know in my life were women and not guys.

Nagisa: That isn't so surprising seeing how I was raised. Mother always wanted me to be a girl, but she got a boy instead.

Kogami: Then she ignored the fate she was given and started to treat you like a girl. I feel really bad for you.

Nagisa: Not really, besides I love my mother and I wouldn't wish for anything bad to happen to her.

Did he say that despite obviously having a not so loving mother? This guy probably became a good teacher due to his patients.

Kogami: So any idea where Yami is or how we should deal with current situation?

Nagisa: I don't know where Yami is now, but I do know she went away to find any clues for an exit. I decided to watch over the hallway in order to prepare myself for any kidnappers that might show up.

Kogami: Oh really, how? Your not the fittest person in here.

Nagisa: Believe me, I may not look strong but I can handle anything that anyone has to throw at me.

I probably should believe that seeing how the Ultimate Despair proves me wrong before.

Kogami: I should talk to the other girl before moving on to another room. She is clearly not Yami, but another person means another lead for more information.

[Talk to ???]

???: Who are you? A kidnapper?

Kogami: Does everyone really jump to conclusions with people they meet for the first time.

???: I need to since I was blindsided by the kidnapper. I can't let myself be caught off guard again.

Kogami: I see so you must be someone very instinctive, not surprising when picking the cast of people to kidnap if you want to replicate Hope's Peak.

???: What is Hope's Peak? I heard you say that earlier when I saw you talking to Death and Sousuke.

So she met the both of them. I guess she has also a good rundown with the conflict in this story.

Kogami: Well if you were paying attention, you would know that it was a school where only the most prestigious could study and guarantee a future. Students who study there are called Ultimates of the talent they excel in.

???: So that explains why my card said Ultimate Kick Boxer. You want me to show you...

That's one cat-like grin, she's pretty confident.

Kogami: Alright then, try hitting my hand as strong as you can.

???: Will you be mad if I break your hand with how strong my kick is?

Kogami: I might, but I ask for it so only I can blame myself.

???: Don't say I didn't warn you. Also, my name is Koneko.

Kogami: That's good to kn-... *smack* Damn you got a killer kick. No wonder you've got that title. Still doing it with a skirt isn't a smart move.

Koneko: You want me to hit you again!? Forget what you saw or I'll just kick your ass!

[KONEKO TOUJOU ULTIMATE KICK BOXER]

Kogami: Sure if that's what you want, but you have only yourself to blame for forgetting you're wearing a skirt.

Koneko: Fine, I'll let it slide for now. But don't try to act like a pervert again, or you'll get more than a kick in the face!

Nagisa: That is not easy to handle, I can tell.

I feel worried about your future then kid! I really, really am!

[Move to Kitchen]

There's another girl here and a guy. This time the girl has pink hair with a rosary on her neck, while the guy is a really tired looking boy that seems to be always frowning. Yeah, I'm going to pick happy times than sad times.

[Talk to ???]

???: Oh, I didn't notice you were here! I was kind of dozing off when thinking about home.

Kogami: Can't blame you since we were kidnaped from our home.

Then again my home is probably in rubles due to the Monokumas and the riots always getting lose in the streets.

Kogami: I'm guessing you don't know anything about the tragedy too, am I right?

???: A tragedy happened? I never heard of that! I think we should do something about!

She definitely doesn't know, otherwise, she would have been able to tell that doing something would be impossible to do.

Kogami: Yeeaaah, but first we should find a way out of this place if we really want to do something about it.

???: I couldn't agree anymore, oh wait! I forgot to say my name to you!

Kogami: Took you long enough. normally that would be the first thing anyone would do.

???: My name is Moka Akashiya, and I'm called the Ultimate Duo Personality.

[MOKA AKASHIYA ULTIMATE DUO PERSONALITY]

Now out of all the titles I heard, this is the weirdest. Maybe even more than the Ultimate Generic Guy.

Kogami: So why are you called that?

Moka: ...

And then suddenly she glows and her hair turns pinkish purple.

Moka?: Does this answer your question?

Kogami: Hey! What happened to you Moka? Are you even Moka still?

Moka: Yes I am, but not the one you knew. The other self of hers that co-exist in the same body.

Now I'm getting the reason why she got the title.

Kogami: Now I'm done asking the original Moka about the situation, why not I ask you?

Moka: I don't know anything, I share the same memory as her so like her I have no clue. Although I feel like the person who kidnaped us has a deeper motive then typical reasons like money and revenge.

I have a feeling like that to since the Tragedy did cause a massive outbreak of sadistic assholes!

Moka: Anyway I think we should stop talking, right now I'll turn back to normal which means Moka will sleep for a minute. Do you have any other question?

Kogami: Yeah, why does Moka have this?

Moka: Look at this rosary and you'll see why. I have nothing more to say so it's time we say goodbye. [Revert to Moka and fall back to sleep]

Now that's a weird girl if I ever say so myself. Now time to talk to the sadness of the room.

[Talk to ???]

???: Who are you? A person kidnap along with us?

At last a person who doesn't immediately accuse me as one of the kidnappers.

Kogami: Good guess, I'm guessing you have a card to like the others.

Shinji: Yes I do, I'm Shinji and the card said I was the Ultimate Pilot.

[SHINJI IKARI ULTIMATE PILOT]

Kogami: You don't seem that enthusiastic about that, then again we were just kidnap so feeling down isn't that abnormal.

Shinji: I guess...

Kogami: Not much of a talker huh...well why not you tell me about yourself?

Shinji: Why would you want to know anything about me? With everyone else you ask them about how to escape here, but why with me would you want to know more about?

Kogami: I don't know because I feel like you don't have much information to share.

Which may look like I'm underestimating you, but I know the reality so no need to sugar-coat it.

Shinji: Your right, just like everyone else I was trap inside a bedroom which I finally found a way to escape.

Kogami: Then you decided to look around in order to learn more about your kidnapping, am I right.

Shinji: Yes, I thought about escaping, but there was no exit. Then again what would wait for me once I get out of here anyway?

A home or people you love, then again the way his tone is like he's probably one of those depressed kids who doesn't know how to talk with others.

Kogami: But does that mean you don't want to escape?

Shinji: Of course I do! If I don't leave then the kidnapper might do something to me so before they can I'll try to leave here.

Kogami: But did you really think the kidnappers would make it that easy?

Shinji: ...Of course, I know that...nothing is ever easy for me...how fitting for somebody who is a worthless human being.

This act of self-pity isn't really making me comfortable, which is supposed to be the kidnap's job. I guess I'll leave this kid some space while I continue moving forward.

Koneko: The kids pretty much a killjoy.

When did see you get here!?

Kogami: Nice seeing you to Koneko. Finally calming down, yeah the kid isn't exactly social ready.

Koneko: Whatever, are you leaving already?

Kogami: Might as well see as much as I can with this area. If I could figure out where we are I could maybe devise a plan to escape.

Koneko: You might be right, I can just call somebody on my cell phone and tell them where we've been kidnap.

She is really clueless about the disaster just like the others. This is really upsetting.

Kogami: I suggest not doing that Koneko, you'll just find out how ineffective that plan is.

Koneko: What do you mean- AHH!!! No signal!!!

Not surprising with the Tragedy happening unless we were near an HQ of Future Foundation or Ultimate Despair.

Kogami: See you then, hopefully, you can keep that phone active because we might need to use it in the future.

Koneko: What do you mean???

[Move to Main Hallway]

I see new people. With the absence of Koneko and Nagisa there is Moka with two new people. A very muscular man with a pompadour and lady with a very idol looking face.

Girl: So you don't think there is an exit?

Moka: I'm so sorry, but somebody told me the kidnappers would never put an exit for us to escape.

Man: That makes a lot of sense I guess. Still, I would like to meet the man since he seems to know a lot about these situations.

Moke: Well he did enter the kitchen I just came from, but I'm not sure if he's there anymore.

Man: Might as well check, we've got no other leads.

Girl: I guess, there isn't anything better to do.

Kogami: Moka, am I the one they want to talk to?

Moka: AHH! There you are Kogami! These guys were asking me for information so I mentioned your name since you seem to know a lot about this situation.

Kogami: I'll take that as flattery.

I mean she isn't wrong.

Girl: Hey you! So you know about our problem? Tell us what's going on!

Man: Calm down Maki, he's just a kidnap victim like the rest of us.

Maki: Fine...I guess before we talk about that we should introduce ourselves. Like he said I'm Maki Nishikino, an idol.

Kogami: Is that your title, because that is an easy way to identify somebody or at the very least know more about the person.

Maki: Well kinda, the card I got said I was the Ultimate Singer.

[MAKI NISHIKINO ULTIMATE SINGER]

Man: And as for me I am Josuke Higashikata, and the title I got is Ultimate Medic.

[JOSUKE NISHIKINO ULTIMATE MEDIC]

With that look of yours, I wouldn't pick medic as your profession. Then again do I look like a puzzle master?

Moka: And I'm Moke, the Ultimate Duo Personality!

Other Moka: I already said it to them so don't repeat it.

Josuke: Still a bit weird of a title, but I guess I can't really complain about this.

Maki: So what do you know about the kidnapping Kogami? This girl said you knew a lot about it.

Other Moka: Don't look at me, I won't explain what my other is thinking, she'll explain it instead.

Kogami: But aren't you guys the same person?

Dealing with both Mokas isn't going to be an easy task, just like my life with the Monokumas.

Josuke: So why not tell us? I mean we could do something to help escape and get back home.

Kogami: Alright I'll tell you, but don't get your hopes up because I don't know any exact details. It's just we were kidnaped by somebody and for some reason, they're using a Hope's Peak pattern.

Josuke: A Hope's Peak pattern, mind explaining man?

Kogami: Well there is a prestigious school called Hope's Peak Academy where only certain invited students could study at. Those students are called Ultimates exactly like the titles we were given by the cards.

Maki: And why are we called Ultimates?

Kogami: Basically it means were the very best of the talent we excel in. Like you are the most talented singer or Josuke is the most talented medic.

Other Moka: Or us who are stuck with the title of being the very best in a freaky talent.

Maki: Ultimate huh? But honestly, I am not that great of a singer compare to my group.

Josuke: And I didn't think my ability to heal was as good as everyone thought. Maybe I should really pursue a career in medicine.

Kogami: Anyway the kidnappings have been following this certain pattern and I don't know why. And if your going to ask this isn't Hope's Peak, I've been there before and this is the exact opposite of what the place was like.

Other Moka: I think the first thing to do is figure out why the kidnappers did this to us and what is there plan now they have all of us.

Maki: I'm actually starting to get worried, I just want to go back home!!!

Josuke: To think such an asshole would do this to us!

Kogami: Anyway that is why I'm trying to look for Yami, a girl who another kidnap victim, a person name Light, said had a pattern with him and this guy name Sousuke.

Maki: Sousuke the weirdo, I know he is a soldier, but I doubt anybody would act like one while being kidnap.

Josuke: Still kind of charming when you think about it.

Other Moke: Just like Moka huh? Not being able to change their weird attitude despite being trap in this situation.

Kogami: So do you guys have no idea where the girl is?

Maki: I don't think I ever saw her, maybe she could be the dorm rooms. I'll check it out.

Josuke: Might as well follow you since I rather not be alone in a really strange place.

Other Moka: I guess I might as well come otherwise Moka will freak out if you both suddenly disappear.

Kogami: I guess our roads diverge here, let's reunite eventually everybody.

Maki: How dramatic, maybe you should make a career as a songwriter. You might be really useful for the idol group I'm part of.

Maybe...if the world is peaceful enough to have idols.

[Move to Living Room]

Another girl who could be Yami and a very huge guy next to him. I start to wonder who is scarier, big guy or Yuno.

Girl: Another person who was kidnaped, am I right?

Big Guy: So they got you too huh? Don't get why anyone would kidnap somebody like me.

Maybe it was a person you made jealous through the big muscles of yours.

Kogami: Anyway you guys, how are you doing?

Girl: Great, considering I was just kidnaped from that perverts place, but all is peachy.

Big Guy: You should really think what questions you ask someone.

You do realize I did that on purpose to get a reaction from all of you.

Kogami: Well I should tell you my name so you would who here is the biggest nuisance of the group. I am Kogami Richiko, and my title is the Ultimate Puzzle Solver. You can tell I'm not exactly that normal.

Girl: It's quite obvious, sort of remind me of that weird scientist guy name Okabe.

Big Guy: Anyway I am Takeo Guado, and I was called the Ultimate Bodyguard. That is something I never thought would happen to me!

[TAKEO GUADO ULTIMATE BODYGUARD]

Girl: And me...Makise Kurisu, the Ultimate Scientist. I know I was in science, but not to the point of being the next Albert Einstein.

[MAKISE KURISU ULTIMATE SCIENTIST]

So it's not Yami again, that at least eliminates another girl.

Takeo: So you were kidnaped along with us too huh? I hope she wasn't kidnap to, that would at least get me to do my job.

Makise: I would rather not have a kidnap actually, but we can't just change the past.

Unless we have something to send our minds in the past.

Kogami: Anyway do you have anything you want to share in order to build trust with each other?

Takeo: Well I was-

Makise: Hold on! Why should I tell you anything about us!?

Kogami: Because we want to trust each other???

Takeo: But what if your the kidnapper!?

Kogami: I would think the kidnapper knew at least something about us if they did kidnap everyone. So I don't think sharing info isn't a problem.

Makise: I see your point. Well, I am a scientist like you know, but I'm more of physics than anything. I even have a magazine cover despite still being in a college. I only brought it up since that might be a clue on why were the chosen people to kidnap.

Because of our talent? Then this would point to Hope's Peak as the one behind this.

Takeo: As for me I just use my big size in order to be an effective bodyguard, I mean I shouldn't let it go to waste now should I.

Makise: Considering the low chances of getting a body like that, you shouldn't.

I mean if it was common to see people as big as Takeo, I would begin to worry about my small self.

Kogami: So do you have any plans for dealing with our current situation, since I'm pretty much out of ideas.

Makise: I would suggest finding a phone, but I wasn't able to find any.

Takeo: I tried to break the door with my bare hands, but it never worked. Even when I swung a table on it, it wouldn't budge. Actually, it destroyed the table I was using.

Makise: Whatever they use on the door was really powerful too, maybe something the kidnapper genetically engineered.

Well, that means they could be biological terrorist since they would go as far as to make a door like that or even the government to defend themselves from diesel military soldiers.

Kogami: Meaning we need to find an exit since it's clear breaking out or calling for help is going to be impossible.

Makise: But it would make sense for the kidnappers to do that, still why even have the kidnapping?

Takeo: At first when I regain consciousness, I thought it was somebody who wanted revenge on me which I guess not.

Kogami: So the motive for all of this isn't something connected to all of us. It could mean the kidnapper did it randomly or picked us for a certain pattern.

Makise: Like being the most talented in a certain field?

Takeo: I would think jealousy would be the reason, but it's clear this guy is impressive seeing how fortitude this place is.

But then again anybody could have done it if they knew what to do.

Kogami: Still it's a good idea to see if we all do have a connection, we never said it's impossible that is the motive.

Makise: I guess...but the chances of that are extremely low, like surviving a supernova low.

Takeo: I hope our chances to live won't be like that too.

You have never been in the world after the end, you lucky, lucky bastard. But your luck has seemed to have run out today.

Kogami: Anyway it looks like staying here won't help out the problem at all so I'll just check some other places for a while.

Takeo: I think I'll stay here, I know it's been just a few hours but I still think whatever they use on me is still lingering on.

Makise: I think I'll follow you around since it looks like you know what you're doing.

A girl that is pretty cute following me, I guess I have nothing to complain about.

Kogami: Well it's your funeral, just don't think I'm going to be any nice guy.

Makise: You really think I don't know that I know the risk and I'll be taking it.

Should have made a better warning but oh well...

[Move to Main Hallway]

[Move to Infirmary]

Makise: This place looks pretty normal, though it's small it has enough medicine to cure most illnesses.

Kogami: Even the illness of a broken heart?

Makise: That's an injury Kogami, not an illness.

???: Who can say?

Bright blue jumpsuit blonde young man with a backpack and a black hair girl with a bow. Fits the typical weirdos of Hope's Peak which I doubt they are.

Clement: Names, Clement and I'm an inventor. Ultimate Inventor to be exact!

[CLEMENT ULTIMATE INVENTOR]

Makise: You seem certainly proud of it.

Clement: Of course I am, I have been working hard to perfect my inventions and it finally paid off.

I hope he hasn't realized that-

Kogami: Yes, but don't you realize that the person who gave you that was the kidnapper?

Now he will! Thanks for telling the truth Makise.

Clement: ...

Makise: You didn't really think about it that much did you?

Kogami: What did you think?

Clement: ...

???: Clement, do you feel alright?

Clement: J-Just please leave me be! I just realize how big of a lie this was!

Sorry but I'm with him, that's not a really good thing lie there ???.

???: Clement...I think your inventions are good.

Clement: Really!? What is your favorite then!?

???: ...Can I think more about it actually?

I have a feeling Clement might be the entertainment while being trap here.

Makise: I would advise being more honest next time then say a lie to make a person feel better.

Kogami: Yeah, I mean don't you realize how painful was it for him that it turned out to be. Just look at how his face is matching the color of his jumpsuit.

???: Oh it looks like he's crying. I'm so sorry that I-

Clement: WAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I just want out of here!!! [Leave]

???: I think I made this situation worse than usual.

No, you, of course, made this situation a whole lot better. Evil laugh in my head.

Makise: I think it's best to give him some space, usually people like them takes quite a bit of time before you can talk to them.

Kogami: Sounds like you have experience.

Makise: I rather not talk about it unless I have to.

???: Anyway I'm sorry for the fiasco, you must be people who got kidnap along with me and Clement.

Kogami: Does that mean you knew him before any of this happened?

???: No I never meet him in my entire life, though he is someone I wouldn't mind staying in contact for a while. An inventor like him could really help in my line of work.

Are you part of the military? That uniform looks like something a military soldier would wear.

Makise: So it's a business decision than a social one huh. Guess I should I have seen that coming.

Kogami: Before we can continue talking young lady, I think we should know what your name is.

???: My apologies, I am Akagi Kai, like Clement was the Ultimate Inventor, I am the Ultimate Archer.

[AKAGI KAI ULTIMATE ARCHER]

I probably should try to remember that talent, since I might forget due to her not having a bow and arrow to showcase it.

Makise: So this infirmary, have you and Clement investigated this place thoroughly?

Akagi: Yes we have, in fact, Clement did all the searching while I listed down what he says to me. From what I can tell it seems like this infirmary has almost enough medicine to cure all diseases, has different types of drugs, poisons, and anesthetics, and the air condition isn't in proper condition so he plans to have it fixed.

Kogami: He's right if we end up trap here I suggest sleeping here with the air conditioning.

Makise: You can't do that, I was the one who planned it first!

Called it first so it's too late for you.

Akagi: Looks like your pretty close, but I think it's best that you leave.

Makise: Huh? Why all the sudden?

Akagi: You see, someone name Light and a partner of his name Nagisa said they'll come back here to check on me and Clement, but Clement is gone so...

So Light is pretty much trying to take control of the group, not surprising seeing how authoritative he is.

Kogami: You want us to leave in order to find him.

Akagi: Can you? He might be a weirdo but we need him here, Light and Nagisa did leave strict orders to not leave this place.

Makise: If we just explain to them, they'll probably under-

Kogami: No, their right. It's best we get Clement back here since Light isn't the type of guy you would want to be stuck in an argument in.

Akagi: Believe me, he's somebody you rather not argue with if you can.

Makise: O-okay...I guess I'll believe you for now. It doesn't look like your lying.

Akagi: Thank you! I really appreciate this!

Kogami: We don't need to deal with Light anymore.

[Move to Main Hallway]

*bam, bam*

Makise: Did the wall made a noise?

Kogami: I'll check it out since it's probably my job as the main protagonist.

[Examine Wall]

Kogami: Do you think this is a hidden wall like a typical mystery location?

Makise: Seeing how the rest of the building was like, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Kogami: Alright then, I know this is supposed to be super cliche but I really have no idea how to get to the secret entrance. Might sharing anything assistant.

Makise: When did I ever...never mind. If what I've seen in movies are true something here should open up the wall.

Kogami: Something you say, like a very suspicious object in a specific place?

Makise: I would guess if we were following the typical cliche.

Shouldn't have asked her to confirm the obvious, then again knowing a little more info about everyone is going to be vital while I'm here.

Kogami: Well I guess the obvious answer here would be the vase on the pillar, let us see if this is reaaaal or faaaake! Time to spin to win.

Makise: Why am I always stuck with weirdos?

*click*

Scene: The wall moves and an entrance is revealed.

Kogami: Another room, another mystery.

Makise: Still aren't we suppose to be searching for Clement, we should hold off checking this place until we find hi-

Clement: Oh my god! I forgot about the meeting!

Kogami: Speaking about Clement, it turns we were right in checking this place.

Clement: Did you guys open the entrance? Thank you!

Makise: No problem, but why were inside this secret area?

Clement: You see when I was running away to find some privacy I notice this entrance and I thought it was suspicious since it wasn't there before. So I entered it and suddenly the wall just close from behind me.

Kogami: You think a ghost was responsible for that?

Makise: You do realize this place isn't a haunted house right?

Clement: I don't know, I was going to try figuring it out after talking to the two girls, but now I realize I have no time for that.

Makise: Two girls? Who are the two girls are you talking about?

???: That would be me, Aigis, and my partner Yami.

Did I just hear Yami? So the searching has reached its conclusion.

Clement: Oh you haven't met these two yet, well this Makise and Kogami. One of them is a scientist while the other is a puzzle solver.

Aigis: That sounds very interesting.

Yami: ...It's best to keep note of that.

So that's Yami huh? Guess I can say my expectation were too high considering she doesn't seem to have that...impact yet. But she does have a certain-

Clement: Well these guys don't seem harmless at all, even though they hurt my feelings. Still, you can trust them while-

Kogami: Have you forgotten something again Clement?

Makise: The important meeting with Akagi and Light.

Clement: How could I forget! I'm sorry but we'll continue our discussion later! Right now I have to do something!

Yami: And what is that something?

Clement: I'll explain some other time! Goodbye!!! [Leave]

Aigis: He seems to be in such a hurry, I guess it makes sense since he is late for a meeting.

But I would still recommend him to take a nice day of yoga, of course, he can't without having a yoga mat first.

Kogami: Looks like you know about us, why you start talking about yourselves? I mean you already know about our talent.

Makise: That is a little abrasive for my taste, but it doesn't really matter considering our dilemma.

Aigis: Very well I shall start first. My name is Aigis and I was given the title Ultimate Android.

[AIGIS ULTIMATE ANDROID]

Android? What is she going to do next, pull a gun out of her arms or legs? And why would she need to wear a uniform if she isn't human?

Makise: Y-You said android, am I right? Don't tell me I misheard.

Aigis: No you haven't, I am an android. I was made by the Kirijo Group in order to be a fighting machine.

Kogami: Having a war machine here will just make things feel a little to tense.

Makise: Yeah I mean I saw robots before, but never this humanoid. In fact, if you look at a far she looks completely normal. The amount of detail they put on her body is incredible.

Aigis: Thank you, I am happy the way I was made was done really well.

Kogami: I guess I should be thankful the way I am right now. I am so proud of it.

Makise: So now you're a narcissist? Just what we needed while being here.

Aigis: Anyway didn't one of you ask about why the door suddenly closes when you enter here?

It was Clement who did, but let's see her answer to since I am curious about it a little.

Aigis: You see the wall always close due to having a sensor in the entrance. Whenever someone enters it always closes in the next 30 seconds as it was programmed like that.

Kogami: Even if someone was in the middle of the entrance.

Aigis: Unfortunately yes, but it's not like anyone is in danger. The entrance closes slowly so it gives the person enough time to pass the entrances. There doesn't seem to be an error in this system.

Makise: Unless someone was ever pass out in the middle of the entrance, not like that will ever happen.

Aigis: There is the possibility, but it is in the bare minimum.

Which means to us very likely seeing how minimum was our chances of being kidnap.

Makise: Well that solves Clement's question at least, maybe we should find him so we can inform him.

Kogami: Not yet, I still have someone to talk to.

Yami: ...You must be referring to me.

Kogami: Yes, but this is something I wish to do in private. Will please leave us you two?

Makise: Do you have an ulterior motive?

Aigis: Even if he did, I doubt it would considering who Yami is so we have nothing to worry about.

Makise: What's that suppose to mean?

Yami: Aigis will explain, now you two go so we both can have our talk.

And now Makise begins her part of misunderstanding the entire thing, like a typical scenario.

Makise: O-okay...do you guys even know each other?[Leave]

Aigis: I'm not so sure, but it would be a very unlikely coincidence base on my calculation. Now Yami is...[Leave]

Finally, now I can confront Yami about what Light said.

[Talk to Yami]

Yami: So what is it that you want to talk about? Make it quick if you can.

Not the type to talk, just like your introduction.

Kogami: To make this quick like the way you want, tell me what is your talent.

Yami: So you have heard about me.

Kogami: Not necessarily, have you ever meet a man name Light? He told me that he thought he found a certain pattern among the kidnap people and it was due to the talent you, he and Sousuke had. Now could tell me your talent in order for me to understand what he was saying?

Yami: If you really need to know then I guess I have no choice. What my talent is that takes the lives of others.

Kogami: Not the most friendly occupation, but I should have expected it seeing what was missing in Sousuke and Light's trio.

Yami: Then why not tell me, if you're really that confident.

Kogami: Why certainly Yami the mysterious girl, it comes to mind that your talent is...

(Sniper/Spy/Thief/Assassin)

Answer: Assassin

Kogami: You are an assassin of the highest caliber, am I correct?

Yami: You got it spot-on. Are you sure you weren't a former client of mine?

Kogami: If I was, then do you remember who I am?

Yami: No, which means you were never a client. I remember all the faces of people I killed for.

[YAMI ULTIMATE ASSASSIN]

That is an impressive amount of memory considering how many clients you should have based on that title. Then again I probably would have been the same seeing how these are the people you're taking a life for.

Yami: So now you know my talent, can we finish this discussion.

Kogami: I would like to, but let's first recap something. Light notice a pattern between the kidnap victims and base it on your talent along with Sousuke and Light, which are the soldier, tactician, and assassin.

Yami: I think so, I am not too certain about what was Light's talent but Sousuke was for sure a soldier.

Kogami: Now don't you notice what reason someone would have to kidnap people with these talents?

Yami: I have a feeling seeing the assortment of talents among us, but I like to hear what you think first.

Kogami: My pleasure, if I think this correctly this would be a fitting batch to form a group of a professional military force. Like a mercenary team or even a special forces hidden by the government.

Yami: I came up with the same conclusion to, though I wonder why would they need to kidnap me seeing my talent.

Maybe because you are not an ordinary assassin.

Yami: Still that is the most likely answer.

Kogami: At least what we have for now Yami, thanks for your cooperation.

Yami: Sure, I notice you seem more dramatic towards me than anyone else.

Kogami: I have my reasons.

Reasons I best not tell you.

Yami: Alright not like I need to know it myself. Anyway, with this, I think our conversation should-

*ding, dong*

???: Upupu! Welcome to the Mansion of Despair! Please go towards the Dorm Hallway for a special announcement!!!

Yami: What is going on?

Looks like things just got worst for all of us.
