Danganronpa: Painful Truth

Not-So-Pure Genius

Kokichi, Shigeri, and Kiki landed on the elevator neatly and slipped inside. Thanks to the jammers, the elevator door had stayed open wide enough for them to squeeze through one at a time.

"Wow," Shigeri commented as they glanced around the basic hallway. "We're already in? That was almost as easy as Kiki."

She giggled and clutched her chest dramatically. "Noooo the spear of truth! My one weakness!"

Kokichi allowed himself a small smirk, but it didn't reach his voice. "Shut up and let's start looking already. I can't even get started on the main part of the plan until I find where they keep all their cool robots. You two can go work out your sexual tension when we get home."

Before either of them could voice their opinions on the idea, they heard the sound of metal slamming repeatedly against the floor. It seemed to be approaching from the left, traversing the intersecting hallway in front of them. They watched quietly as a group of vicious Monokuma robots lumbered past them.

Shigeri raised an eyebrow. "Well shit, that's lame."

"Oh no! Do you think they're chasing Ayu and Yuri?" Kiki gasped.

"Oh hey, this makes things so much easier! Almost boring, really," Kokichi scoffed. "So, I'll go left, you two go right!"

"Huh? You dumbass." Shigeri shook their head. "Thought we weren't splittin' up 'til you got your flimsy ass into one of those mech things."

Kokichi rolled his eyes. "If those things went to the right, that means that's probably where Ayu and Yuri are. And if they came from the left, that's probably where I'll find what I need." He smiled slyly.

Shigeri scowled to hide their concern. "Fine. Dumbass."

"Ooookay Boss! Be careful~!" Kiki patted his head, just to irritate him.

"That's my line," he snapped, swatting her hand away. "Don't get your stupid selves killed. I need you for the plan." His tone was impatient and abrupt, but his voice sounded strangely weak. With that, he headed down the hall to their left.

"Awww, is he worried about us?" Kiki laughed, skipping to the right.

Shigeri didn't respond. After one last glance over their shoulder, they followed, grumbling.

"Woah!" Kiki gasped suddenly, pointing to what had once been a door marked 'Bio Lab.' The steel was bent and crumpled, as though something incredibly strong had forced its way out. "Daaamn! Last time I saw a hole get that wrecked I wa-"

"Shut up," Shigeri cut her off with a sigh. "Or say somethin' useful. Whaddya think happened?"

"No idea~! Should we go inside and check?"

Shigeri wrinkled their nose. "Well, the way I see it, our job was to open up doors. That's probably the open-est goddamn door I've ever seen, so I think we're done here."

Kiki peeked at the equipment inside the lab with a disappointed frown. "I guess that makes sense, but that's boooooring!"

Shigeri opened their mouth to argue, but the sound of more metallic footsteps cut them off. Another group of Monokumas was already stampeding toward them.

"Fuuuuck," they groaned. The dangerous machines had once again come from the route Kokichi had chosen to take. They could only hope he'd avoided them somehow.

"Yaaaay! More robots~!" She pulled a remote control from her bag with a flourish. "Stand back, Shiggy Wiggy! Looks like it's Kiki's time to sparkle and shine!"

Shigeri rolled their eyes. "I wonder if gettin' ripped apart is as bad as listenin' to you."

Ignoring them, she flashed a quick victory symbol, then used the same two outstretched fingers to press a pair of buttons on the remote. One of them caused a burst of black specks to erupt from the top, and the other played the sound of a cheering crowd. The specks flew quickly toward the Monokuma robots, giving them a slightly dirty appearance. A moment later, the began to malfunction, smoking and crackling as their movements became twitchy and erratic.

"The fuck was that?"

"Heavily magnetized, highly abrasive iron-nickel microparticles! Aren't they so pretty? They get all up inside a robot's nooks and crannies and rough up their sensitive bits! Ooooops!" She gasped as one of the robots exploded into shrapnel. "I guess that one doesn't like it rough~!"

There was a sudden lewd moan from the open door to the bio lab. A blonde girl in pink rushed out into the hallway. She wore a pair of goggles on her head, and leather straps on her legs and torso. She grabbed Kiki's hand, blushing and drooling slightly.

"Wow...that was...so good..." she whimpered. "You have to come...and work with me on one of my projects sometime!"

Kiki looked perturbed for only a brief second. She grinned her sharp-toothed grin and winked. "Giiiiirl, you know it!" She checked the blonde out conspicuously and nodded. "You look like you'd be fun to...collaborate with!" She giggled.

"Hey, wait, I recognize you." Shigeri pointed at her suspiciously. "Aren't you that bitch who tried to kill Kokichi but got your own ass killed instead?"

Her lusty demeanor turned suddenly timid. "W-what? I-I can explain, I mean--Kokichi? Who--who's that?"

"Uh, you know it was on TV, right?" Shigeri dropped the accusatory hand and snickered. "Dumbass."

"Ehhhh?" She blushed again. "H-how rude..."

Kiki laughed. "I like her~! Let's keep her!"

"K-keep...me...mmm..."

"Fuck that, I'm not dealing with two of you." They shook their head. "Plus she could be workin' for the Future Founda--"

"Hey! Cockstain!" Miu shouted, her aggressive side appearing from nowhere. "You think I'm gonna let a comment like that slip through? Don't you fuckin' know who I am?" She struck a haughty pose with her hands on her hips. "I'm Miu Iruma, the world-reknowned gorgeous girl genius! This little cum dribble of an organization doesn't deserve to take advantage of my golden brain!"

Kiki's eyes sparkled. "So sexy~!" she cheered. "So cool~!"

"Oh, so you're too arrogant to work for anyone." Shigeri nodded with a yawn. "That checks out."

"A-arrogant...?" She started to drool again.

"That's disgusting. Wipe your face."

"Y-yes..." She did as she was told hastily.

"Ooooh Shiggy Wiggy, I think she likes you~!" Kiki cackled at them.

"It too late to let the robots kill me or what?"
