Danganronpa V1: Multi-Fandom Crossover

Chapter Two: Killing Game / Settling In

"As some of you have noticed, things here are a little different! If it makes you feel any better, your upperclassmen and our alumni haven't been keeping this a secret from you! As everyone knows, our class sizes have been shrinking the last couple of years. Part of this is because your generation really lacks talent, which, what awful timing, but it's also because we've been experimenting! Sixteen has proven to be an ideal number to allow both person relationships with everyone and clique-ing, which you teenagers love to do!"

"What's that gotta do with how we got here, though?" Gon asks, eyes bright. I kinda wanna punch him for looking so unaffected.

"Great question! You see, due to all the problems your world is facing, I've come up with a solution to get only the best of the best out into the world as quickly as possible!" Monokuma's smile stretches impossibly wider as my stomach sinks. "You could even graduate today, if you're careful! All you have to do is kill somebody!"

"Well, are there any questions?" Monokuma asks. No one answers. The awkward silence is heavy, and our sudden mistrust in everyone else isn't helping. "No? Alrighty then, assembly adjourned. Explore! Make friends! Go wild— I can't wait to see how!"

Monokuma slips back to wherever he came from behind the podium. Gon and the white-haired guy, Frosty, are quick to hop onto the stage and follow. They circle it, and Frosty opens a small drawer. Gon raises his fist, and smashes it. What the hell.

"No clue where he went, guys," Gon says somberly. "We should all split up to look for him!"

"No, we should not." Frosty pinches the bridge of his nose. He looks as apprehensive as he does stressed. "We should all get to know each other. We might be here a while, and we should know what we're working with. I'm Killua Zoldyk, Ultimate Assassin. ...I know that sounds bad given the circumstances, but I'm hoping it'll be better to just tell you all now than have you find out later."

Nobody dares to say anything, but some people trade choice glances. Nagisa-chan and the guy who came in with Shinoa share an especially long look. I try to catch Mikaela's eyes for guidance, but he's busy looking from Shinoa to Gon. I'm not sure how I feel about him looking to that guy for guidance.

"I'm Gon Freecs, the Ultimate Fisherman! I'm actually better at hunting than I am fishing, but I have a long way to go to reach the top, so I couldn't claim it in my title." He pouts, and Killua gives him a playful look. He makes a show of opening his mouth to add something but Gon slaps a hand over his mouth and continues. "Killua is also a better hunter than me, which is also why I couldn't choose it."

Gon's hand flys away from Killua's face and he looks at him in disgust. Killua grins impishly. Gon wipes his hand on his pants. Ew. Beside me, Mikaela takes a step toward everyone else and smiles softly the way he does when he wants to encourage others. 

"My name in Mikaela Hyakuya, and I'm the Ultimate Survivor. I have experience with handling crises, so please feel free to come to me if you're worried or just want a friend to talk to talk to." He gives a small nod to everyone and gives them another, more hopeful smile. As he looks to his right, Shinoa steps up next to him and give a similar smile.

"I'm Hiragi Shinoa, the Ultimate Leader. Feel free to treat me the same as Mikaela," she says. She sounds pretentious. "Let's all work together and get out of here soon."

There's a pause as we wait for someone to go next. Gon and Killua make their way over to us, and Mikaela gives me an expectant look. 

Before I can speak, the redhead from earlier announces, "I'm Karma Akabane, the Ultimate Sadist—I look forward to getting to know and spend time with you all!"
