"The sun will set forever
Never to rise again
And in the coming darkness
We'll fight to the bitter end
Our legend passed from memory
It's time to turn the page
The sun has set, now night is falling
Never again to hear the calling
The sun has set upon the golden age..."

Once they heard the trickle of blood, everyone rushed to the room Celeste had entered.

They found the lifeless body that was the Ultimate Gambler known as Celeste.

"Who would have done such a horrible thing?" asked Akari.

The intercom came on. "Ding dong! A body has been found. Now, a class trial shall begin!"

It was one heck of a tense class trial....

***

"This is your third trial, fellas." said Mono.

There was a crystal ball.

"This crystal ball will show you the victim's last few minutes of life." Mono told them. "It'll help you determine the killer."

Naegi shook the ball.

He gasped.

In the ball was a video of Celeste's final moments.

A girl in a red cloak was slitting the gambler's throat with a sword.

The video was in black and white. But the red cloak was the only thing not in black and white.

Everyone else also watched the video.

Naegi: Wait a minute, I know that cloak.

(The verdict wheel spins and it lands on the grey 'everyone' space.)

A silhouette can be seen.

"I declare the blackened of this class trial to be Ruth, the Ultimate Swordswoman." said Naegi.

The silhouette faded out to reveal Ruth.

"Every swordsman has a special law not to be bad," said Akari. "Ruth is guilty, and this means that she obviously broke that law."

"I have arranged a very special punishment for the Ultimate Swordswoman." Mono told them.

"No!" cried Ruth as Mono got a hammer. "I don't want to die!"

But Mono didn't listen.

***

"GAME OVER

RUTH has been found guilty. Time for the punishment!"

***

Ruth was holding a sword as she was standing in front of a mountain made of sharp swords.

"The sword mountain of agony.
Ultimate Swordswoman Ruth's Execution: Executed."

"Here goes nothing," she said.

Ruth then held the sword and started to climb the mountain.

The swords' blades were as sharp as hell, and her hands were cut up badly by the blades, but for the first few steps, Ruth climbed up fast.
Midway, the swords pierced into her flesh, causing her to slow down.

Because of the sharp blades, it seemed to take hours, but at last Ruth reached the top.

Her hair was disheveled from nearly losing her grip several times. She had dropped her sword. Her clothes were all torn and ruined. She had deep hot pink cuts all over her body. She was paler than usual, thanks to all her blood leaking out on those swords.

Ruth pulled herself up on the top, which was made of concrete and not more swords.

It didn't take long for her to die from blood loss.

***

Naegi stood there. Ruth was dead. If that wasn't enough, this execution disgusted him. He could practically feel the bile running up his throat, ready to be spewed out of his mouth.

Akari had thrown up and everyone else was barely holding on much like himself.

"Now that was really quite gruesome." said Mono, hiding his nauseous expression.

So everyone reacts the same way the audience would react to Ruth's execution.
