Danganronpa: The New Face of Despair

Prologue: The awakening

At the bottom of the abyss in the ocean, a sealed giant creature rests, waiting for the moment the seal keeping him paralyzed loses its power...

...

....

.....

Now.

Yellow eyes snap open, senses coming back to him quickly. How long was he asleep? Too many years... The world changed. A lot. He could feel it. Almost all life disappeared on the surface. What could have done this? He already knows the answers: humans. Always humans. But this time, the damage scale is worldwide. They destroyed his world... for good. So he'll destroy theirs.

He will destroy what's left, he will kill the remaining people. He will avenge the planet. But there are bigger threats than humans roaming on the surface. He will take care of them first.

The giant stood up, his fist clenched. The others, smaller, creatures of the abyss knew by instinct what was coming, they swam away at full speed. And then, the legendary roar:

SKRRREEEEEOOOOOOONNNNNNNGK!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makoto Naegi snapped his eyes open, taking him away from his slumber. He was sweating a lot. He slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, not wanting to wake up the other person. He was about to stand up when a voice from behind stopped him.

"Makoto? Are you alright?"

"Kyoko... Did I wake you up?" He asked and his response was a small nod from the detective. "S-Sorry."

"What's wrong?" She asked in return. She hugged him from behind.

The two of them became a couple shortly after their enrolling at Future Foundation. They solved many missions together, and were always doing their best for the objective of the organization: bringing back Hope to the world.

"Did you had a nightmare?" she asked again. Makoto silently giggled and said it wasn't that. "So what is it?"

"I'm not sure myself... I think I just have a very bad feeling for tomorrow..." He sighed, looking at the floor.

"Is it about Togami-kun? He left yesterday with a team to stop a giant Monokuma getting closer near a city, right?" The Ultimate Hope nodded, she smiled a bit and kissed him on the cheek. "I understand you're worried, but it's Togami you know. Now please go back to sleep. You don't want him to scold you for being tired when you should be taking his live reports." She concluded with one last kiss on the other cheek before laying back down on the bed.

"You're right... Or else he'll be like: 'Don't tell me you didn't sleep because you were worried about me. I, the esteemed Byakuya Togami, do not need the worries of a commoner like you, Naegi." Makoto laughed, lying next to his lover.

"Nice imitation" Kirigiri chuckled. "Good night, Makoto."

"Good night Kyoko..." he smiled and kissed her forehead.

-Everything will be alright... I know it. -

And both of them went back to Morpheus's arms with their minds full of Hope. Not knowing that a brand new Despair was getting closer and closer each seconds.
