A Kokichi Motive

Down the new ladder

Kokichi's POV:
Climbing down that ladder took such a long time. It felt like hours but in reality it was probably 15 minutes. And yes you heard me right. 15 MINUTES to climb down a ladder. When I got there, it was pitch black. I couldn't see a thing. Thankfully, the monopad had a flashlight built into it, so I used that. And what did I see in front of me? That stupid bear.

"What. Do. You. Want!? Haven't you already caused enough? What could you possibly want now?"

I just sounded annoyed, I wanted to hide my fear. But that plan failed because my flashlight just went out. I could hear his laugh, which made it much creepier.

"PHUPHUPHU! Stupid Kokichi."

I felt something knock the monopad out of my hand, and what felt like chains caught my arms. Then, lights turned on. The bear was still there, but I could actually observe the room now. It seemed like it was something close to a dungeon. Chains lined up against the walls, but far apart enough to make sure one person couldn't kick the other. The walls were made of stone, with cracks here and there, Letting dirt into the room.

"Phuphu! You want to know what I'm going to do next? I'm going to lay a carpet of the door that led down here, so no one will no you're here. Because even if they don't kill each other, I'll still be able to kill one innocent person. And I know you're attached to someone here... Maybe that.. Shuichi's Saihara person?"

He let out an evil giggle once again. I don't want that to happen. My whole idea was to stop this mess of a game! Not to kill more innocent people! I tried to pull against the restraints, in hopes of escaping. But nothing. I was weak. I saw Monokuma leave, and I looked around for anything that could help me. I looked at the chains seeing if there was a weak spot. I couldn't find a weak spot on the chain capturing my right wrist, but thankfully there was one on the chain at my left. I had to constantly bang my wrist against the weak part, which made my wrist REALLY hurt, but in the end, it broke open.

I saw a keyhole on my other chain, but I didn't hear anything about a key from Monokuma. Damn it. I guess I have to wait it out. I can't do much. Can I.

Monokuma's POV:
See, there's nothing better than despair as Tsumugi says. So if no one finds that little boy, I get to kill an innocent person. That would cause a lot of despair. I place the rug over the ladder. Just like I said. And I went on with my non existent life. No one had better be looking at the cameras as I did that.

Shuichi's POV:
   It's been a while. The motive didn't take as much as a hit as others had, but it was the worrying of an innocent getting killed that made us all look for Kokichi. By observing the room Kokichi was in, it looked like dirt had been pouring in which leaves me with two guesses already. Either Gonta's dorm, which should have dirt for some of his bugs, or outside. But we aren't allowed to destroy school property. It's a rule. And who knows what happens if we break it? But the situation we're in now, I don't want to test it.

         I should head to Gonta's room first.

No one's POV:
      Shuichi made his way to Gonta's laboratory, taking turns and making his way up some stair cases, and down some stair cases. In all honesty, the blue haired boy forgot where Gonta's room was. But eventually, he found it. The door had been locked, but Shuichi happened to remember how to pick locks. The only reason he knew how in first place, was because of the purple haired gremlin. Kokichi tried to play a game called "Unlock it first" with Shuichi. Basically you got a hairpin and whoever unlocked the door first, won. It was pretty stupid. But it just so happened to come in handy. But when Shuichi opened the door, he saw something pretty unexpected...

It was Gonta.
