Killing Game Busters

Bold In Tragedy

Puhuhuhu...

A body has been discovered!

Everyone please gather at the Ultimate Inventor's Lab.

Himiko was in a state of shock. How could things have turned out like this?

No one knew what to make of the Lab anymore, full of rubble and charred from the lasers hanging on the wall. Shreds of plastic and many others had been spread around the room. One of them only slightly covered the object of what prompted the announcement.

A charred hand splayed with blood, in front of unmovable boulders, blood similarly sprayed at the bottom. It didn't take a genius to piece two and two together.

"Who..." Kiibo said, as he looked around, "Where...?"

As shock began to wear out, the meaning of Kiibo's statement became much clearer to others, Himiko included.

Who really died? Where is the other?

Before any such questions could be uttered or answered by at least looking for clues... for confirmation, a very familiar obnoxious voice sounded out:

"Fi~na~lly~ And I thought this day would never come, but it goes to show that the killing game truly never ends. Thank Atua for violence. I knew there was still some of it in you guys~"

Monokuma and the Monokubs appeared suddenly to them, as usual. No one even bothered to respond to the bear, too shocked about what happened. Too defeated that it actually happened.

It just happened too fast to make sense, something Himiko couldn't even wrap her head around with. One moment she was in Miu's Lab, trying to make sure Kiibo was alive before he admitted that Tsumugi was lying and then Kaito deciding while sussing her out, that they should gather everyone here because he felt now was the time to tell them something.

Which turned out to be some grand plan of beating Monokuma in his own game, but then Kaito turned it around to accusing Kokichi just so that there were no more secrets and lies between all of them before enacting the grand plan, which was fair because he had been even more suspicious than usual today, and that was turned around for Kokichi to play villain with Miu and well, this happened.

Atua... her brain hurt. She was getting a headache no potion or spell could undo now. Amidst all that shock, Monokuma kept talking:

"Ahaha, now comes the fun part. Time to hand out the Monokuma File. So please, put your heart and soul into this investigation."

With that, Monokuma and the Monokubs left, with Shuichi holding the File given to him in dumb shock. The silence was soon broken by Kaito who had expressed what everyone was now thinking:

"What the hell happened?"

No one could answer, and the only ones who could were... were...

"Someone died," Maki said bluntly even through the increasing awkward and tense silence, "The killing game has started once again."

"But why?" Gonta cried, visibly upset by the turn of events. It was unsurprising considering Gonta's friendly nature with everyone, even to people like Miu and Kokichi. It had also been a long time since any murder had occurred although there had been close calls (like her own) so maybe many had already let their guards down, forgotten they were inside a killing game and that they could survive through this.

Well, there are still survivors like Himiko but the number once again like going down until...?

"That's what we have to find out," Shuichi said determinedly, clutching the Monokuma file tightly in his hand, "Whether we like it or not, we must find out because..."
