Danganronpa 4-Despair Loop

4

All of a sudden, a loud announcement sound rings through the gym. A louder, squeaky Mickey Mouse sounding voice shoots through the large room. Kayden covers his ears, trying to block the sound. As they stare at the stage, a black and white monochromatic bear pops out. Naoto makes a sound like laughing, and holds up his paw thing in a wave. The students look around in confusion, and Naoto snorts.

"A bear? Really?" He lets out another laugh while the girl next to him hides behind him again. Yuma turns her pistol toward it.

"What the heck?" She was about to fire, when she notices Kayden looking at her, his eyes saying not to.

"Is that a stuffed bear? Are you some kinda Build-a-Bear?" he said, looking confused as he turns toward the bear. The bear turns his eyes over to him, and with the same squeaky voice, he snarls.

"I am not a Build-a-Bear reject! I'm Monokuma! Your principal!"

"How are you the principal?" Nao walks over to the bear incredibly gracefully for her size. "You're a bear!"

"Principal? Start talking sense you damn bear!" Naoto starts looking mad, showing signs of aggression.

"Puhuhu~ it's quite simple actually! I'm the principal of this illustrious school, and you're all the students!" The bear grins widely, showing razor sharp teeth on his black side.

"I see, so this is the academy we all signed up for..." Kokojo steps out of her corner, walking toward the bear.

"Yeah, that's right, I remember getting my acceptance letter... but what the hell is wrong with that bear?" Naoto flings his hand toward the bear.

"Well, let's see if it's a real bear or not..." Yuma aims her pistol directly at the bear, then pulls the trigger and lands a bullet straight through the bear's head. The bear collapses with no blood pouring out the wound like it should. Chinatsu lets out a little shriek and somehow disappears mostly from view, hiding further behind Naoto. After a couple of seconds without the bear moving, they all give a sigh of relief.

"So... does that mean we're free?¨ Kayden places his hand on Yuma's shoulder. Right as he said that, the loudspeakers turn back on, pouring out the same voice they had begun to hate.

"Where does anyone get the idea that shooting their own principal is a good idea?" Another Monokuma bear pops out of the floorboards.

"Huh, a robot. Someone must be controlling them..." Kokojo walks closer and tries to inspect him, just to have him swat her hand away. She jumps back in surprise.

"Alright, what the actual hecking heck is going on here?" Ayane looks startled, but not as startled as Yuma.

"But that's... that was a headshot..." Yuma seemes at a loss for words.

Monokuma glares at her, ¨So no more school shootings, eh? I'd rather not have you disappear from an unfortunate 'accident'! You're supposed to do the killing, not me!¨

"Looks like there's multiple of them. Hm." Yuki gives a nonchalant shrug. "Well that sucks." Kayden looks around, seeing everyone else's faces. Kayden walks over to the door, ready to get out of there with everyone.

"That's not the only thing that sucks... The doors locked guys..." Kayden gives another tug on the door handle.

"What? You gotta be kidding me!" Naoto runs over and tries to kick it down, but to no avail.

"Um... about the thing you said... U-um... 'were supposed to do the killing', w-what does that mean...?" Chinatsu looks nervous, and is ba"ely able to get her words out.

"That's right! Welcome to the killing game!¨ Monokuma gives a sinister laugh. When his laughing stopped, there was a slight vibration and ping.

"Huh? What's this?" Miana pulls out what looks like a tablet and fiddles around with it. "Rules?" She holds it up, showing several rules on the pad.

"What-what the fuck is wrong with you?" Naoto's face pales while Chinatsu starts to sob.

"I'm not going to kill anyone here, alright! I think all of us feel the same way." Ayane states matter-of-factly.

"Puhuhuhu~ I thought you might say that, so I prepared a motive!"

"A m-motive?" Kayden staggers back, not expecting him to say that. Monokuma nods and presses a button which makes the tablets chime again. Everyone pulls out their pads and watches the video that was given to them.
