"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest"

Tension arose as the elevator finally reached its destination.

I clutched onto Etsuko's hand as we stepped out into the trial room.

For a place to discuss a murder it sure was beautiful.

Vines hung down from the ceiling, a small indoor waterfall was placed in two corners of the room, and in the middle was a circle of podiums.

We all walked to our respective spots while Monokuma sat on a throne that overlooked the area.

"Welcome to your first trial kiddos! Allow me to explain the rules! You'll have time to debate at the beginning to figure out the killer and how they killed em. After that you'll vote on who you think did it and I'll reveal whether you're right or wrong! If you're right then the killer will get executed! But if you're wrong then the the perp leaves the manor unharmed and you all get killed! Sound like a plan?"

"Not so fast!"

An unfamiliar voice came out of nowhere.

"And who is this person that has a problem with my completely fair and civil trial?" Monokuma grumbled.

"Why I'm no person silly!"

A teal and white bear swung to the center of the room on a vine.

"Tada! I'm Monokassi!" She said with a smile.

     Monokuma looked shocked to see her.

     "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my trial room?!" He shouted. She hopped up on his throne and promptly slapped his face.

     "That's for being a meanie to these poor kids!" She yelled. "And I can't believe you don't remember your own cousin...tsk tsk some family you are."

      "HOW THE FUCK ARE THERE MORE MONOKUMAS?!" Hiroshi screamed, to immediately be shushed by Emika.

     "Nono! Monokassi, I'm nothing like my sadistic cousin! I care for you guys and will try my hardest to come up with an escape plan!" She explained.

     "How do we know we can trust you...?" Yui muttered under her breath.

     "You don't have to, you kids have been through so much and deserve some comfort. If you choose not to trust me I'll still help you! It doesn't hurt my feelings one bit. Just know I'm on your side no matter what. Monokassi said with an encouraging grin.

     "I trust her nyah..." Shiori whispered, her brother gaped at her for a moment before nodding.

     "If mew trusts her then so do I." Hiro finally said.
