". . .And make sure they pay for it."
After whispering that promise to Mahiru, I slowly began making my way to the trial ground at Monokuma Rock. When I arrived, I noticed Fuyuhiko wasn't present, again.
Is he even going to show up. . .?
"Nooooo! Lemme go! Help meeee!" Hiyoko cried, kicking and screaming against Monokuma, who was trying to hold her still. "Waaaaaaaaaaah! He's gonna do something crazy to me! I'll be ruined!"
"Hey, shut up and stay put! You stubborn little lolita!" The bear ordered.
"H-Hey!" Monomi called. "Stop harassing little girls!"
"Th-This is. . . what's going on?" I turned around to see Hajime walking up to the group.
"Hiyoko was trying to run away, so Monokuma brought her here by force. . ." Nekomaru explained. "But Hiyoko's still trying to run away, so Monokuma's trying to wrap her in a full nelson. . ."
A full. . . what?
"Hey! If you don't stay put, I'm gonna make you a part of this island's food chain!" The bear threatened.
"Guh. . ." Hiyoko sniffed, finally starting to calm down.
"Jeez, making me waste my sweet-ass time. . ." He sighed, dusting himself off. "But there's another problem to deal with besides this one. . ."
"Fuyuhiko still isn't here. . ." I guessed.
"Exactly! Where the heck is that guy!?" Monokuma yelled. ". . .He totally ditched! He totally ditched my appointment! He. . . pisses. . . me off. . . Ah. . .aaa. . .aaaaa. . ."
With a flash of light, Monokuma changed from his usual plushie self to an unnaturally tall and buff version.
Am I going crazy or did he just. . .
"Eeek! His anger changed his form!" Ibuki jumped.
". . .I'm right here." Everyone quickly turned around to see that Fuyuhiko had suddenly joined the group.
"Ah, Fuyuhiko, you came. . ." Chiaki greeted. "I was worried about you."
"There's nowhere for me to run, anyway. . ." He stuffed his hands in his pant pockets. "So no matter the ending. . . I have to accept it, right? But still. . . I'm a yakuza! Accepting defeat is not an option!"
"Fuyuhiko, what does that mean. . .?" Hajime asked.
"Well. . . it's all good. If the trial heats up, it's all good." The still-buff Monokuma sighed. "Anyway, looks like everyone's here, so let us depart now! I'll go first and be one step ahead of you guys!"
Just as he said, Monokuma disappeared as he had before.
"C-Crap. . . I'm not mentally prepared yet. . ." Kazuichi muttered.
". . .Do you even hafta prepare?" Akane questioned.
"If you don't have enough power, harness you latent energy!" Nekomaru instructed. "C'mon, bring out that energyyyyyyyy!"
"So it begins. . . the beginning of the end. . ." Gundham spoke ominously.
"Now then, let's keep our spirits high!" Nagito encouraged. "So we can one day find that shining hope!"
Shining hope. . .? I suppose he's right. . . At this moment in time, moving forward is the only option!
As if on cue, the sculpted mountain began to shake as one of the heads opened its mouth and released the escalator.
"Eeeek! No matter how many times I see it, it's such bad taste!" Monomi cried. "The worst, the lowest, most brutal taste!"
I took a deep breath and moved through the group of fear-frozen students and walked onto the escalator. I could feel my stomach twist in nervousness as I was carried up into the mountain. My breathing was shaky and the grip I had on my wrist tightened as I reached the top, stepping into the elevator. Just as before, Nagito stood next to me as the room started to shake before beginning its descent.
