Danganronpa: Despair Continues

Truth Serum

3 AM

It's another evening wasted. The trial ended for about hours already.. Despair is not only what I feel.. Heartbreak is included..

Knock

"Who is it?" I shouted
"Aren?"

That voice.. It's not her..

"What do you want.. Lark?"
"Come with me! Let's be exploring buddies again! I'll show you something" He said enthusiastically

I groaned as I walk towards my closet, grabbed a navy blue jacket that I got from the supermarket of this island and walked out of my room to see Lark wearing the same navy blue jacket.

"Whoah! We are quite the buddy here" Lark smiled
"Yeah right" I said

We walked silently towards the cave. Once we got inside. Things start to go weird.

"Wha.. What is this?" Monomi asked

Me and Lark hid at a stone pillar and watched

"I have another motive already! Puhuhu! But let them explore the third island first! That'll trigger their brains!" Monokuma said while laughing

"What could they have been talking about? A motive? A third island?" Lark asked quietly
"I don't know.. We have to spy deeper" I said

Monokuma and Monomi continued..

"Please stop this.. This isn't suppose to happen! This is wrong!" Monomi said
"Puhuhu I don't care! Despair is going to kill them and that is fine!"

Monokuma slapped Monomi and they both left the scene

"They're gone" I said
"Let's explore that island!" Lark exclaimed

I was about to deny but then he used his Ultimate Ability.. I have no choice..

3rd Island

There is only one thing I can think of to describe such situation...

"Holy moly" Lark said

What we saw.. Is a place filled with..

Resorts, beaches, skyscrapers, condominiums.. All tourist-related stuff! This is so awesome! There's even a waterpark!

"Why.. Is it like they want us to really enjoy our stay here" Lark said
"I think so that we can collect these.."

I grabbed a diamond-shaped object and then it suddenly lit up!

2 out of 50 Hope Fragments Collected

"A HOPE FRAGMENT!" Lark exclaimed
"I forgot about this! We can actually escape this place with this!" I said

I looked towards Lark's eyes and saw the excitement he has.. Will this hope finally flourish us?

Promise me you won't give up Hope.. Promise me Aren!

Even if we are not couples anymore.. I will still cherish those words she said to me.. I will make sure to fulfill it!

With HOPE

8 AM

After a couple of hours, everyone finally arrived at the third island and is amazed at it's beauty

"This is wonderful!" Pat said
"If only Rick and May were here.. They would enjoy this" Mikz said
"Don't worry! I'm sure they are way above us, cheering for our happiness" Sabel smiled

Everyone seems to be happy.. We are all enjoying our fun when suddenly..

"I'm Back!" Monokuma said
"Iyaaah!" Hiro wailed
"Why are you here?!" Alene shouted
"It's because.. I'll be your tourguide! This island will be boring if you self-discover!" He said proudly

We all sighed as we relunctantly followed him.

"So first stop is our Hotel Mirage!" Monokuma said in delight

"Hotel Mirage? What an ugly name!" Sabel said, "it's better if it's Hotel for Rich but no it's not!"
"Well.. Are we gonna stay there?" Nikki asked
"Why of course no! It's just there for tourist attractions! You have your own hotel back there at the first island!" Monokuma said
"You know what Monokuma.. Why don't you just get straight to the point! Tell us your motive already!" Hiro hissed
"Motive? What Motive?" Monokuma asked innocently
"I'm pretty sure there are some disturbing stuff in this place that may want us to murder each other!" Hiro continued
"Oh! That motive! Well we must venture on to figure that out!" Monokuma winked as he walks away from us.
"Stupid"

After a few hours, we have finally explored the entire island. There is also a theme park with functional rides! That's awesome!

"Well.. This discovery is very much fun actually" Lark said
"Yeah.. I can't believe it! And I see no motive anywhere!" I said in delight
"Oops I forgot!"

He really wants to ruin the mood

"Puhuhu, the motive this time is this serum!"

Monokuma showed us a rainbow colored serum.

"This serum is only a one-shot thing! There is only one of this in the world! So if someone wants to remember everything before they got here. Just step right up and you will know everything!" Monokuma said in happiness
"What's the motive in there?" I asked
"Just wait and see! Now who will be our Lucky student?"

Wait a minute.. Lucky? I remembered something about luck all of a sudden.

Someone suddenly goes closer...

It's Alene!

"I want to know the truth! I may be no detective.. I may be a liar. A heartbreaker. But I want to know the truth no matter what!" Alene said in determination
"Okie dokie! One shot serum will go to Alene! Our Ultimate Heartthrob! What will happen? Nobody knows! Puhuhuhu"

Monokuma plunged into Alene and injected the serum into Alene.

Once it's done. Monokuma left without a trace and we all looked into Alene

"Do.. Do you remember everything now Alene?" Jan asked
"I.. I feel.. The same?" Alene said
"So that serum is nonsense! I bet it has other effects! Ugh! We shouldn't have fallen for it!" Ryan said
"Do..don't worry guys! I think I'm just fine!"

Then suddenly.. Alene drops to the floor

<><><><><><><><><><>
9:30 PM - Alene's Room

It's been hours since Alene drops to the floor.. She still hasn't woken up.. Not a single movement.. Just steady breathing.. What could Monokuma had done to Alene?

"U.. Ghhh"
"Alene?" I asked
"A.. Aren?"

Alene slowly opens her eyes and looked directly at me.

For a couple of undenying awkwardness.. Alene suddenly stands up and..

Hugged me?

"Oh Aren! How I missed you! I shouldn't have broken up with you! My feelings for you is real! I hate lying to myself anymore! I love you Aren! I love you!"

Then suddenly.. Alene.. Kissed me!?!?

This may be a wonderful experience.. But.. I know deep in me that..

Monokuma did something to Alene
