The Second Mastermind

Chapter 4

Yay I'm back! :) I have no idea where this story is going but I have some relative idea about what I was trying to do so let's get re-started.

??? POV

Oh it felt so good to finally be back in a place filled with such despair. It had felt like so long since ??? Had been here, it was so very nostalgic. The first thing they planed on doing was toy with the current mastermind of this wonderful game, do somethings to get his attention and make him lose his focus on playing the goody two shoes facade he had hidden under to blend in to the games players.

The mystery person, having finished their plan of putting a flashback light that had not been previously planned for in a very obvious spot, made there way to the mastermind hidout.

They found that without anyone there to annoy it was pretty boring. But that bordem was quick to dissipate when the sound of a near by machine made its self present. Curiosity overcame the other and they made there way closer.

The machine making the noise was one of the newer ones leaving the intruder to puzzle over its meaning. They made there way to a window on the door and was beyond confused with the sight of a purple haired boy with no shirt chained to a chair.

But when the pictures on the wall started to make their head throb they pulled their gaze away from the machine and decided to find a way to shut off the machine, or atleast quicken whatever was happening.

They came across a similar panel used for programing the flashback lights, so it was simple to find the button to find how much longer it would take and it shouldn't take much longer to find out how to quicken or end it.

Their waiting on the machine to stop its cycle would soon come to an end as the estimated time left was in the single digit minutes. So they decided to look around the room, the exploration didn't last long because an almost microwave sounding beep came from the machine signaling that it was safe to enter and question the boy in the chair, and hopefully get him a shirt.

Kokichi POV 🍇🎲

The pain from his head ended but left him feeling dizy and uncoordinated. He tried to remember where he was but his confusion at the situation quickly turned to fear when a door to his right opened and he was left to wonder who was un clamping his restraints.

When his head finally cleared enough to take in and actually process what was happening he was laying on a couch in a semi uncomfortable position. He felt cloth that had not previously been on his torso, make his skin itch.

It was only after he had made a pathetic attempt to get comfortable that he noticed the presence of someone near his head obstructing his view of the other person was the arm of the couch. And his necks protest at moving to much in one direction wasn't helping either.

"Well Hellooo!!" A voice with little to none familiarity rang out from behind him. But that only confused Kokichi more seeing as the last person he really remembered having contact with last was Shuichi, the voice was not Shuichi.

No this voice couldn't be Shuichi

Because this voice was female.

Shuichi POV 🕵‍♂️🫐

Shuichi quickly and quietly made his way from Monokuma's office and opted that instead of finding out who the hell was making uncalled for flashback lights, he would stay calm and go with everyone else to gain a new memory.

He arrived only slight seconds after Maki which was good he hadn't wanted him arriving late to cause suspicion. Maki was still in shock after the whole trial and Kaito's death. It had seemed that the idiotic astronaut  had made the emotionless assassin fall for him without her knowing causing to much sadness for her to handle, so she hid herself in her room for a couple of hours.

But it seemed she had managed to put herself together for the time being.

"Finally everybody is here." Himiko said in her usual stuffed voice.

"Let's get this over with" Maki said clearly not in the mood to speak to anyone quite yet. Sensing her hostility, and not wanting to be the one to receive said hostility Himiko quickly aimed the flashback light to them and then it was all bright.

I have no idea what to make them remember so fast forward to them all giving up on figuring it out and going to rest.

Shuichi made his way with the others back to the dorms, Shuichi knew he would probably not sleep tonight because he had much to do especially considering the fact that Kokichi was still waiting in the hideout bored or even unconscious in the machine he was last left in.

No one spoke, they just silently entered their rooms to exhausted from the day to even mutter a goodnight.

Shuichi entered his room but he had no intention of staying there once he was sure the coast was clear he made his way back to the school, careful to not make to loud of noises while still being near the dorms.

As he walked through the quiet halls he found himself lost in thought about who the person could have possibly been to make that light. If not Monokuma then who possibly found the panel and made it.

It could have been Himiko, she was the one who found it in the first place. But no, it couldn't have been she would have shown everyone the panel. Plus Himiko wasn't smart enough to even figure out how to work it even if she came across it somehow.

His thoughts came to a stop when he was close to arriving at the secret entrance in the girls bathroom, why it wasn't in the boys he didn't know. It always felt quite awkward to walk into the ladies restroom in the day because Shuichi was always worried someone would see him and he would have a tough time explaining that.

He opened the door being meet with an unusually cold wind hitting his face. Normally Shuichi always had the temp set quite high.

The tempature of the room was a sign he shouldn't ignore that's what his brain told him. So he stopped moving. He wasn't even sure he was breathing, on soft feet he made his way through the entrance he heard a slight hushed conversation the words he couldn't quite understand since they were extremely quiet.

The closer he got the more he could make out the voices, he still couldn't make out what they were saying but he knew there was a woman, whom was doing most of the talking. And then a boy who only responded with short words.

When he finally made it to the main room he was meet with a scene he had difficulty comprehending.

The people standing there left him frozen he was a statue staring at an uncomfortable looking Kokichi and a Junko Enoshima standing to close to him.

Well that's all it's kind short but bye bye
