Tropical Despair - Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
As the Phantom Thieves plummeted down the seemingly endless drop, the fires of the explosion licked at their heels. The walls of the tube-like tunnel were lined with bright lights, and as the world spun around them, they felt their stomachs lurch and their hearts leap into their throats.
They all screamed, clutching onto one another as they hurtled downward. The tunnel stretched on and on—they had no idea how far down it went. They didn't even know if there WAS an end.
Maybe this was Ashikawa's plan. To trap them in an endless void.
If that were the case, the fall would last for hours, their screams continuing to echo as the world spun faster and faster until, suddenly...
"There!" Highwayman cried. "I can see the bottom! We're almost there!"
"You mean the bottom that we're about to go SPLAT on!?" Razor spat.
"Sandbox!" Leprechaun shouted. "Soften our fall!"
"You got it!" Sandbox swiped at her mask. "Alex—AAAHAGH!?"
"CHIAKI!? OOF!"
"AAGGGHHH!"
"AAAHOOOW!"

Just as she prepared to summon her Persona right at the last second, Sandbox was interrupted as a mechanical limb lashed out, slamming her into the wall! Leprechaun, Highwayman, Sleuth, and Mozart crashed to the ground, rolling forward.
In the split second it took to realize that Sandbox had been compromised, Usami, Lab-Rat, and Razor summoned their Personas and used their wings to propel themselves upward, with Razor grabbing Kyoko before she could fall. However, they too were struck aside and sent hurtling to the ground.
Fortunately, thanks to their Metaverse abilities, though the fall had severely injured them, they had survived. And with a healing spell or two, they would quickly be back on their feet.
"Chiaki!" Lab-Rat scrambled up, rushing toward her as she lay collapsed against the wall.
But just as he neared her, an arm shot out from the shadows, grabbing him and yanking him backward before slamming him into the ground.

"HAJIME!" Leprechaun cried as the reserve student was lifted into the air by the mechanical arm.
He was brought up toward Ashikawa's Shadow, who hovered in the air with the rest of his arms supporting him. The twisted professor tilted his head, curiously examining him.
"Ah...so it was true..." he mused. "You know, I had a distinct feeling that you twisted the knife on us, Kamukura...but to see it with my own eyes...it's a real shame."
"Twisted the knife? Heh...don't be so full of yourself!" Lab-Rat spat as Ashikawa's Shadow choked him. "I was never really on your side to begin with!"
Ashikawa rolled his eyes, then flung Lab-Rat aside. He crashed into the wall but managed to land on his feet. Leprechaun and Highwayman, panting from their own injuries, rushed to support him.
"It matters little," Ashikawa dismissed him. "You no longer have your Ultimate Talents, which means you're worthless to me anyway. So...consider yourself lucky. But also...consider yourself the world's greatest disappointment."
"Believe me, old man," Lab-Rat snarled. "I've only just begun to make you feel disappointed."
"I can't believe you just sacrificed your own guys like that..." Sleuth muttered as he, Usami, Razor, and Kyoko rushed to join the others.
