Danganronpa: An Alternate Universe. RR AU.

Prologue

I wake up confused in a strange place, where am I? How did I get here?

I look around at my surroundings, looks like I am in a classroom, did I oversleep? Did I sleep in the middle of class? No one sleeps that well during school...but, there's something odd. The windows...are all sealed up for some reason, why have windows in the first place if you're just going to cover them? I look up at the clock in the room, it seems it's about 10 AM. There's probably nothing left for me to explore, but I should try to find some way to leave this...school.

I opened the door to an empty hallway, no one seemed to be inside this academy but me. Until I hear the sounds of steps, is it the staff of this place perhaps? I think I should try to get them and get help from them, though upon approaching the sounds of those lingering steps, I am not met with the staff of this establishment, rather I am met with two peculiar people.

They seem to know each other, the way they talk with such an open and honest tone seems to point to that, but their conversation ceased once they faced towards my direction, they look at each other and then to me again with a curious facial expression, they walk their way towards me, waving at me, and I wave back. At this situation, I believe it's best for me to not be too skeptical, and try to trust others, so I let them approach me.

At a closer look, I can make out their appearances properly, one of them had intense red eyes, black spiky hair, and a military-style white school uniform with a red band on his left arm, those being the characteristics I immediately notice, right next to him was an even more peculiar individual, his hair seemed to be styled into the shape of corn, though I shouldn't say that to him, he has a very muscular build, I don't think I'd be able to take a punch from him. He seems to wear eyeliner as well.

Once they've reached a reasonable distance, I'd introduce myself, they look quite intimidating, even more so together, I introduce myself, trying to not let it show that I was feeling nervous.

Makoto Naegi: U-um, hey there you two. My name is Makoto Naegi, do you know what this place is?

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Hm? We are in Hope's Peak Academy, ah! I apologize for not introducing myself first! I am Kiyotaka Ishimaru! But please, just call me Taka. I am the Ultimate Moral Compass. Pleased to make acquaintances with you, Makoto Naegi.

Mondo Owada: Name's Mondo Owada, nice to fuckin' meetcha. I'm the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: You're always with the language, aren't you?

Mondo Owada: Sorry, my man...you know that's just my way of talking.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Haha! I'm just messing with you, you wouldn't be you if you didn't speak like that.

At that moment, I remembered that I was scouted by Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Lucky Student, how could I have forgotten that? I've always dreamed of this Academy, though I think this is the least of my worries, how come in this grand academy I've only met two people? Even if Hope's Peak only accepted students they sought after, and those being students that are the best at their fields of knowledge, surely you would still expect more people than this.

Makoto Naegi: So...where's everyone else? Do any of you know?

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Not actually, you're the first person we have encountered, we're just as lost as you are. Let's stay together, and see if we can find anyone else.

And so, I stuck with Kiyotaka and Mondo, as we look for any answers to our questions or more people. And surely enough, we do. Find more people that is. We encounter another duo, just like Kiyotaka and Mondo, those two we found are very far apart from each other judging by their postures and looks. They appeared to be two girls this time, one of them had short black hair, and fair skin with freckles along her nose bridge being the characteristics I immediately noted off her, she also used a simple uniform. Right next to her was a girl with strawberry blonde hair, seemingly quite tall for a girl too, she wore long red fake nails as well. Looking more carefully, the girls actually share very similar characteristics, are they siblings perhaps? And it looks like one of them already has noticed us.
