DANGANRONPA V2: ECLIPSE

Chapter 3: Part 4

Monokuma wasn't kidding when he said we were in an adventure park. When the sun rose the next morning, the light revealed that we were literally in what looked like the kind of place I'd pay tons of money to spend a day at in the summer! There were BMX bikes and tracks, mountain biking, rope courses, bungee towers, and a large, empty tank. 

"CHECK ME OUT!" Bashira yelled as soon as I approached the BMX tracks. She was riding one of the bikes around without a helmet and doing tricks off the jumps. Something about the way she was grinning told me she did this kind of stuff often. She was the ultimate daredevil, after all. 

"Careful!" I giggled as she did a bunch of flips and tricks. She never crashed once, which was a relief. Eventually, she finished the course and rode her bike down next to me, stopping just two feet in front of me and making a cloud of dirt puff up and into my face.

"Want a try?" she asked with an excited grin.

"I'll pass," I chuckled. I knew how to ride a bike, but from the looks of that track, I would probably fall and break my skull open or something, which wasn't really how I wanted my day to go.

"Fine by me," Bashira shrugged before pedaling forward and going again. I giggled at her excitement, then looked over at the opposite end of the track, where Ahmya was sitting on a small bench, watching her friend. 

Before the rafting trip, I never took them for being close. I mean, they were roommates, but I wasn't around them often, so I didn't know that they were actually friends. Not everyone seemed as close to their roommates as I was with Tora. 

"Dang, she's got some skills," Yuuki chuckled while walking up to me. He placed his hands on his hips and nodded at Bashira. "She was telling me about some of the crazy things she's done while we were rafting."

"Right," I nodded. "She was your first choice, right?"

"Yep!" Yuuki nodded. "I thought that if I couldn't have the ultimate adventurer on my team, the ultimate daredevil would be the next best thing for that kind of trip. Sorry, I didn't pick you, by the way. I was going to, but Rantaro got you first."

"Oh, don't worry about it," I giggled. "I don't think any of us took it personally. I mean, we're all ultimates. We're good sports!"

"Yeah," Yuuki agreed. "We are. And I have a feeling that the rafting adventure only brought us all closer together! This is the dream team, Suki! All of us! I can feel it!"

His positive energy spread through me like a virus. I agreed with him because this was the dream team! We may have been suspicious of one another before, but the rafting trip allowed us to get to know one another. It forced us to truly become a team. Monokuma has been constantly thinking of ways to drive us apart, but in reality, he has brought us all together. Not just with the rafting, but with the game itself. We were going to rise up and defeat him. We were going to get out of here!

"Guys!" Sora gasped, running up to us and waving frantically. "Guys, guess what I found!"

He was slightly pale in the face, but I did my best to ignore it. He was probably just cold. It had been getting colder and colder since we got here. (It felt like autumn now, honestly. Still sunny, but there was a slight chill in the air that wasn't there before.)

"Equipment! Tons of equipment out in the woods! It looks like a plane crash!" the pilot excitedly squealed. "I can build one!"

"Build what?" Yuuki asked.

"A plane!" Sora exclaimed. "A plane! A plane! A plane! I can build one, and we can fly away! All of us!"

"Oh, Sora!" Yuuki cried out, suddenly picking the pilot up and spinning him around. "Are you serious?! You know how to do that?!"
