(Monokuma's speech will be highlighted in bold)
=============================
"14, 15, 16...good, we've got everyone!" The same voice said as we all gathered near the stage.
"Can you show yourself already, whoever you are?" Madoka asked as she impatiently tapped her foot.
"No! You can't rush me! Bears have to calculate things too!" The voice re...wait.
"Did you just say...bears?" I asked.
"What even ARE you?" Terra said right after, which caused whatever it was to grumble.
"Mehmehmeh, all the chitter chatter and I can't concentrate. You know what...LET'S DO THIS!" The weird voice said as some smoke started filling the stage. Not long after, a weird, bear shaped silhouette was walking towards us, and then fireworks somehow blasted before the smoke disappeared?
And then when we saw the bear, it was half black and half white, half innocent and half evil. As soon as I saw it, I was confused. What kind of bear WAS that? And since when were lit fireworks allowed in buildings?
"I was preparing for a grand entrance you impatient fools! Now half of my budget has gone to waste!" The bear lamented as it sat down and crossed its paws. "You should all be ashamed!"
"Yeah, I'm ashamed. Of how well you did that light show. I mean I know I could've done better, but it wasn't bad." Masaru nodded and groaned. The bear looked at Masaru and then laughed.
"Puhuhuhu! At least someone here appreciates my work! Tell you what, I'll make my introduction short and sweet: I'm Monokuma, your lovely headmaster for Hope's Peak Academy!"
"Mono...what?" Hana said as she raised an eyebrow.
"That thing is very unflattering." Nori added as he gagged.
"Hey, at least it's vertically symmetrical." Yasuhiro responded, causing the majority of us, including me, to look at him.
"What? If something's lopsided, I go nuts." He tried to explain himself.
"So? You sound boring dude." Hideaki retorted. Monokuma facepalmed itself and said,
"Enough of the chitter chatter! Now, in the letter that I sent you, there is one thing I purposely left out." It started to walk around on the stage, which confused me and a few other people.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You better not have lied to us." Hikaru added.
"Yeah, lying is one of the worst things a person can do." Sho added on top of that.
"Well, I'm an animatronic bear, so lying to others is fun fun fun!" It happily cheered.
"Can you just get to the point? I've had to listen to Yasu act like an idiot for almost an hour." Keiji groaned, which earned a glare from Yasuko.
"You are stuck here and the only way out is death!" Monokuma said in short. Which actually surprised a lot of people. Including me.
"I don't believe it." Akari replied as she glared at the bear.
"This better be a joke!" Hikaru yelled, which caused other people to talk over each other. I couldn't even tell who said what.
"I don't wanna die!"
"LET US OUT!"
Then I heard someone say something in a high pitched yell:
"I am not gonna die, dumb animal!"
"Oh, is that so? Well then..." The weird bear said before an arrow shot from across the room and hit the person that said the last sentence. I turned to see who it was, and turns out, it was Kotone, who was in pain, but still alive.
"OW! You stupid bear!" Kotone screeched as she yanked the arrow out of her arm, which resulted in more blood loss.
"Tony!" Sho yelled as he grabbed his velvet purple waist coat and ran to Kotone, who was now on the floor.
"It's Kotone..." Kotone grumbled as Sho tightly snug his waistcoat on the wound.
"No, that will not work. You need to add more pressure." Keiji said as he simply watched, not having anything with him to use.
"Don't be a dick!" Terra hissed back as I watched her grab her shirt(she had a tanktop on underneath) and use it to help stop the blood.
"Rule number one: You may never harm me, your headmaster, in any way or shape or form. If you do, you will suffer worse than poor math brain over there!" Monokuma announced as it pointed at Kotone, who was on the floor, with its paw.
"So we can't insult you? Booooo." Masaru whined.
"If we were allowed to, I would have many words for you, headmaster." Nori added.
"Rule number 2: You will be given little electronic handbooks, also known as e-pads. Read the rules." The bear said as it threw the e-pads into the air, somehow all of them dropping into our hands. I looked through mine and decided to read the rest of the rules.
3. Bedtime is from 10pm to 7:30 am. This means all water turns off and all doors lock.
4. Sleep in YOUR OWN room. No exceptions.
5. There cannot be more than 2 victims in a murder.
6. Once a murder happens, you will have 30 minutes to investigate the crime scene.
7. Once the 30 minutes are up, you will head to the class trial(more will be explained later by yours truly~).
8. The headmaster has any right to remove/add rules as necessary.
"What's...a class trial? Can you tell us what it is?" Hana asked as she read through her e-pad.
"Oh, I do not want to ruin the surprise! I have one hint though: Look for a big, black door. Now, anymore questions before you are free to explore?" Monokuma asked.
"Who?" Keiji asked.
"Who what?" Monokuma asked before Yasuko blurted out,
"CARES?", before laughing.
"...cringe." Isamu muttered.
"I know, right?" Madoka said back.
"That was uncalled for! However, since I am feeling nice, I will leave you be. Ta-ta! Your first motive will be given to you in two days time!" Monokuma said as it used a smoke bomb to disappear before anyone could say anything.
All we could do was stand there in horror, or confusion, on what just happened before us. An animatronic bear just talked to us about surviving a killing game. And on top of that, what is a killing game? I don't understand at all.
Who would be in their mind to group us innocent people up only to kill eachother?
