Danganronpa 3 IF Natsumi

A Deadly Game

It's been 4 days since the beginning of what the foundation called the Second Killing Game and already despair has influenced that school. It was reported that two students were already murdered and one was executed leaving only 15 left in the school. Sayaka Maizono, Leon Kuwata, and Junko Enoshima are the confirmed deceased. Unfortunately, things can always get worse when the world is plunged into despair.

At Hope's Peak Academy

"Makoto… Makoto are you okay?" Asked Ryuji.

No response can be heard from Makoto's room.

"What can I do now? I can do that but, it would make me a target in the future… I'll risk it then." Said Ryuji.

The 7th branch of the future foundation is known for their high morale and standards in their efficient work with treating patients mentally and physically. Their Leader Miaya focuses on developing a possible cure for the despair disease with some success so far. Her branch though has the lowest members at 10 including her but, is filled with the most professional doctors and nurses around including the ultimate surgeon on her brigade. The future foundation is blessed with this branch's work.

"Oi Natsumi can you handle the emergency patients for a sec? I'm backed up for another 30 minutes. Treat all wounded first!" Said Kazuki as he is doing surgery.

"On it!" Said Natsumi bringing the first aid kit.

Amusing to others of the foundation Natsumi took the offer of becoming a part of the famous 7th branch as an apprentice to the Ultimate Surgeon. They believed that someone like her would not be able to catch up to his speed or often in their eyes believed her to be nothing more than a nuisance to him. At first it seemed like she was doing what was told of her but, within just one week of being under his wing she was able to treat patients properly on a level that he deemed satisfactory. The secret to this success was a determination but, that drive that brought her to said determination is not known.

"That's the last one! Everyone is patched properly Kazuki!" Said Natsumi smiling.

"Nice Job Natsumi." Said Kazuki.

"T…Thank you!" Said Natsumi surprised at the compliment.

"Any updates on the 18 students?" Asked Kazuki.

"Yes! It seems that the group found out about Ryuji's talent. In addition to this 2 more students died 1 murdered and one executed the confirmed deceased were Owada Mondo and Hifumi." Said Natsumi.

"What!? Fujisaki is alive? That's strange?" Said Kazuki.

"Why is that strange? Do you mean Chi or do you mean Kei?" Asked Natsumi.

"It was foretold that she would be killed by Owada but, it didn't happen. Fate was defeated in a way that day. "Said Kazuki.

"Huh what are you talking about?" Asked Natsumi.

"Simple really. It's told by an EX future sight person that the game would play out as said. Fate must be broken if she was proven wrong with a fortune rate of 99.9%" Said Kazuki.

"Oh now that makes sense. I guess that's a good sign?" Said Natsumi.

"Fujisaki is a programmer it's likely that if kept alive she can get others out of there alive." Said Kazuki.

"Wow that's great!" Said Natsumi.

While the conversation is going an emergency was called for some of the branch leaders for a meeting.

"ALL Key figures please meet at the meeting room immediately!" Said Tengan.

Natsumi and I stare back at each other confused about why a meeting is being called.

Upon entering the meeting room it's a surprise to see most if not all leaders were present for this meeting.

"Now that you're all here I have found some shocking news from among this organization." Said Tengan.

"…" Miaya stayed silent.

"Someone among us is a traitor and is helping the Ultimate despair in their goal." Said Tengan.

"Oh my! I wonder who it could be." Said Ruruka in a sarcastic tone.

"… I wouldn't suspect anyone yet. For now keep an eye out for any suspicious activity." Said Kyosuke.

"Something doesn't match up… with this whole traitor situation. It seems like a ruse." Said Kazuki.

"Could it actually be true? What he said?" Thought Natsumi.

Are you willing to put fate into his hands Natsumi?

"Ignore those noises." Thought Natsumi once more.

He will be your downfall!

"Natsumi are you alright?" Asked Kazuki.

"Y…Yes thanks for asking" Said Natsumi in a meek manner.

Just then Kazuki looks at his phone to find a horrifying message.

"Natsumi follow me NOW!" Said Kazuki as he ran out of the meeting room instantly dropping his phone.

"Kazuki… What happened…" Stopped Natsumi.

In the scars of a killing game in the darkness of a cruel trial Aoi unable to calm down decided to head off to the kitchen to munch on some donuts to loosen her depression on the lost of more classmates. When she arrived to see Ryuji sitting them with his eyes glowing.

"AHHHHH!" Yelled Aoi in fear.

"Gah! Oh… it's just you Asahina. Sorry the spirits were very restless tonight." Said Ryuji.

"Ryuji… what spirits are you talking too?" Asked Asahina.

"It seems to be reluctant. I can't tell which spirit is it." Said Ryuji.

"…Hey Ryuji… do you think we will ever get out of here?" Asked Asahina.

"Of course… I have faith and hope in us getting out of here. You should not worry any further. After all I promised when we first met that I will not let you die." Said Ryuji smiling.

"Kazuki! What's going on?" Asked Natsumi.

"It's something more worse than I thought. How the hell did this all happen? I could've sworn that Chisa was watching them…" Said Kazuki as he lays his hand on one of the corpses.

Natsumi looks towards Kazuki to find the horrifying sight done in the name of the damned despair. Children innocent ones no less were slaughtered and killed in such a gruesome ways. Their eyes are in despair with throats slit. Who could've done this?

"Fuck! Natusmi any survivors?" Ask Kazuki.

Natsumi hearing Kazuki's question made her worry about what to say next. She doesn't know if there are really any survivor. Just as a response can be made a familiar face has resurfaced.

"It's horrible isn't it? This is what the cursed despair does to the innocent. It started all with the departure of one of my students." Said Chisa crying.

"Chisa why did you leave your post? Care to explain how these children died?" Asked Kazuki frustrated.

"I… left to grab some juice for the little angels when I came back I found you and Natsumi on the scene already." Said Chisa.

"…Chisa… Your statement earlier? How do you know it began the way you said it? It sounds like you might have something to do with the despair itself?" Said Kazuki calmly.

"I was a forced witness to the whole despair inducing event. My students suffered and became the way they did." Said Chisa tearing up once more.

What Now Kuzuryu who do you side with? The one to break or the one who is despair?

"What? That's impossible…" Natsumi said tearfully.

"Natsumi are you okay." Asked Kazuki.

…You cannot defeat fate or despair foolish girl. You are wasting the precious life you were given.

"I didn't! Do you hear me? I will break… fate." Said Natsumi as she feel down as if she was drugged.

Hope's Peak Academy

"Damn it Kazuki you betrayed the family! How could you save a murderer?" Said Ryuji crying at the death of his father.

"You don't get it. I know his daughter I can't let him die or else she will be sent back to that corrupted and despairful orphanage. I can't let that happen?" Said Kazuki snapping at Ryuji.

"Damn it you selfish bastard! You let our own father die in favor of a girls father that you know? You rather have family die then a friend? You selfish monster get out of this family and NEVER COME BACK!" Said Ryuji pushing Kazuki away.

"…It was an accident." Said Kazuki walking away from everything losing all expressions and emotion in this eyes.

Ryuji reencounters the events of that day again after the latest murder case was solved. Despite everything he says to his younger brother that day he still wished that it can go back to the old days. With these thoughts in his mind he finally let's go of his emotions and broke down. During this break down he can hear a familiar voice.

"Ryuji are you okay?" Asked Makoto.

"Makoto… how long can someone truly hold a grudge?" Asked Ryuji.

"I don't know. I never held a grudge in my life." Responded Makoto.

"… It's been four years… Four years since I last saw my baby brother. Over the death of my father. Looking back at that tragic day we are both to blame for our actions. Those actions broke us apart and only became a bitter relationship as well as a broken family." Said Ryuji weakly.

"I'm sure your brother is still willing to make amends with you." Said Makoto putting his left hand on Ryuji's shoulder.

"I don't believe so. I cannot come to terms with what to think about the situation anymore. I'm still happy to know that he found success and love in his life. Too bad it's after I left and abandoned him." Said Ryuji clutching his hands.

"Ryuji…" Thought Makoto.

The world can be cruel but, in the cruelty there is the hope to shatter the darkness. You will overcome that cruelty to become the bringers of hope.

The sight that awakens you Natsumi will decide whether or not that you will break fate.

"What are you? Why do you persist on me not defeating destiny?" Asked Natsumi.

I only think about what's best for you? After all I've seen what the past has done to you many times before?

"What are you!?" Asked Natsumi once again.

Poor Natsumi… Doesn't even know her own fate. What a Deadly game you got yourself into.

"Damn It! I want to know who you are." Said Natsumi in an aggressive manner.

I am thou and thou are I. Isn't it obvious who else would know your future more than one's self from a far future.

"No…. It can't be possible… But, why do you still detest me fighting fate?" Asked Natsumi feeling damaged.

One cannot be given all answers in such short time. I'll leave you this answer to discover yourself.

"Natsumi… oi Natsumi? Are you alright. You look like utter crap right now." Said a familiar voice.

"Ugh… Kazuki? No that's not right." Said Natsumi.

In Natsumi's sight was none other than Kizakura. Natsumi could not understand how she is near him when he should be at hopes peak.

"Wha? How did I get here?" Asked Natsumi.

"My men found you passed out. And talking to yourself in your sleep. Either way the situation is now scarier than I thought." Said Kizakura.

"Scary what do you mean?" Asked Natsumi.

"The students there. My men as well. We suffered heavy casualties. There's something… No I can't say it." Said Kizakura who seemed to have lost his cool for the first time in ages.

"What?" Asked Natusmi.

"Kazuki… he's attempting to bust into the school while the survivors confront the master mind. It's finally happening." Said Kizakura taking a drink.

Natsumi couldn't believe it. The battle between hope and despair was about to come to a conclusion here at Hope's Peak academy.

"What will you do? My information states that 'He' is here somewhere as well. Kamakura. Will you confront him, find Kazuki, or are the survivors your priority. Then there's confronting Chisa herself." Said Kizakura.

"What do you mean? No… She can't be?" Said Natsumi in horror.

"That's right Kiddo. Chisa Yukizome is a traitor and is a part of the remnants of despair this whole time. However theres more I found out about her. She attempted to kill Chiaki this whole time but, got lucky when she was able to get enough to server her master without fail. Lucky for Nanami that someone saved her in time. She got out of there alive thanks to Kamakura. Chisa was brainwashed and she did the same to Tengan. Essentially most of the Future foundation is screwed to begin with." Explained Kizakura.

"Whoa that's a lot to take in. Of all things though Chisa was a traitor. Is Kazuki alright?" Asked Natsumi finally asking about him.

"You mean the surgeon… He's not in a good mood. Chisa does know how to torture the poor boy." Said Kizakura.

Natsumi looked behind her to find a blood trail and the little survivors left with Kizakura.

"What happened to him?" Asked Natsumi tearing up.

"He lost his right eye and his chest is scarred. He's lucky he's alive after the stuff we found what she did to him. After bringing you all here he decided to infiltrate since all the robots are cleared." Said Kizakura.

What will you do now Kuzuryu? This is where you get to make the final move?

"I must confront her first. I will no longer let myself just stand around and let others suffer. I will confront Chisa myself and put in end to the pain of the remnants of despair." Said Natsumi with new found confidence.

"Oh… is that so Natsumi? Then go on try to bring hope it will only be swallowed by despair in the end?" Said Chisa as she smiles.

A finale like no other the battle between hope and despair? What will happen at the thrilling climax and conclusion!
