The Neo World Program Part Six

   With only six people still left alive, the restaurant feels pretty empty the next morning. Even emptier since Komaeda is nowhere to be found. The invention of the Minimaru is pretty cool though.

   With not really much to say except for a few casual remarks about Komaeda acting a little stranger than usual since just before the beginning of the Fourth Trial, they all set off to conquer the Fifth and final island. 

  'Enormous buildings towered everywhere, as if the entire island were one giant city. . .It felt very sci-fi. . .as though the island was a snapshot of an urban metropolis from the near future. . .'

   He visits Vender Street first, drawn in by the smell of delicious, cooking food. His stomach rumbles loudly and he shudders at the memories of the Funhouse that come up. 

   He heads in the direction of the Factory next. Upon going inside, he's greeted by quite a creepy site. One after another, being manufactured and carried away on conveyor belts, are hundreds of thousands of Monokuma plushies. He quickly flees the scene.

   He then finds himself facing the Goods Warehouse, feeling an oddly unsettling feeling falling over him as he looks like it. He doesn't allow himself to shudder, shaking it off and heading inside. 

   This place must be where Monokuma keeps all of his merchandise. His eyes fall on the black curtain in the very back of the room and he actually does shudder this time. . .How strange.

   He pokes around the Military Base next, taking in all of the machinery and weapons. How dangerous it all is!

   Not wanting to step on a landmine, he leaves quickly, heading for his final destination: Sea King Industries. . .What the hell is being built here? Monobeasts or something? Is this maybe where Mechamaru was made as well?

   Anyways, once he's done exploring, he meets up with everyone back at the Vendors. . .well, almost everywhere. Komaeda is still M.I.A. and it's only making Hinata's anxiety grow. 

   Everyone had explored the island pretty thoroughly, however not really finding any useful, relevant information about Future Foundation. I mean, they do appear to be more allies than enemies now, but they were wondering why trap them there then?

   . . .Of course, it wasn't long before a new voice joined their conversation.

   "Weak. . .how weak. . .Instead of facing the problem directly and overcoming it. . .you're desperately trying to run away. That weakness. . .is hopeless."

   Hinata jumps, surprised. "K-komaeda-kun, you're okay! Where have you been all of this time?!"

   "Hmm. . .I do wonder where your thoughts wandered, Hinata-kun. As usual, you guys kept running around in circles. . .What are you, hamsters?" He grins darkly, "Oops-if I speak of hamsters, will that dead, pathetic weakling yell at me? Hmm. . .Now, you wish to know where I've been? Simple. I was looking for someone. I thought they were here already, but I guess I was wrong," He shrugs, carefree, "Or maybe they're just simply a good hider."

   Everyone immediately began arguing with Komaeda, who merely smiled. "Ah well, it doesn't really matter. Knowing the truth. . .can be pretty painful in its own way. You ask me what this truth is? I'll tell you after we find out who the Traitor is!"

   Hinata stiffens. 'He's looking for me? What? Why? Does he want to kill me?!'

   "I still haven't figured out who that is, unfortunately. . .But, it won't take me very long!" He sings, making the brunet shiver violently, "So don't worry; I'll weed them out even at the cost of my own life. . ," He then turns to leave, hesitating before turning to smirk one last time at everyone else, "And one more thing: if you see Monokuma, tell him he doesn't need to provide a motive this time. I'm planning to go all out! Besides, the next one will probably be the last. . .Okay then, bye!"
