Danganronpa: New Generation of Death

chapter 32

"Well congratulations," Monokuma said, giggling. Mishiga looked at Monokuma, then the rest.

"You heard the bear," Mishiga said. "W-wait, you planned all this to happen?!!" Tamaki asked, putting her hand to her mouth.

"Yep. All of this, I planned it all," Mishiga replied, as everyone looked at him in shock.

That was suddenly Echo ran towards Mishiga and attempted to kick him in the face, only for her leg to be grabbed.

"Nice try. Not effective though," Mishiga said, as he let go of her leg and swiftly kicked Echo at the chest.

This causes Echo to back away, coughing up blood. "Why? Why're you doing this?" She asked.

"Truth be told, I just wanted to see despair from all of you. I knew what each and every one of you wanted to have, but I targeted specific ones."

"I intentionally let Chris control the Monokumas so he can kill someone. But didn't expected it to backfire, but it worked anyway."

"Then the secret part. I expected Rieko to kill someone, like Leo. But she committed suicide instead."

"Although I feel sorry for Leo's death, no really, I am, I know I should let the show going."

"Then, during the Yamamoto murders, I influenced them to kill each other, so everyone else can die."

"Didn't expected them to die simultaneously, but Monokuma helped me by putting the blame on Lucine."

"You son of a...!" Reed went forward but was grabbed by the other survivors.

"Then what about Cyber? Did you planned to let her get infected and blow up as well?" Asudo asked him.

"Honestly, no. I wanted to get out of here with you guys so you can live to tell the tale, but thanks to Monokuma, the episode continues."

"You....for real?" Rinto asked, and Mishiga nodded. "Now I'll be asking you all. Do you want to get out of here, or stay?"

"Of course to get outta here!!" Rinto yelled out, but realised the others were hesitant as they all looked down.

"Only Rinto seems to be confident. How about the others?" Mishiga asked, crossing his arms.

"Guys. C'mon. We have to be hopeful. He's giving us a chance to get out of this damned place," Rinto said.

"Yep. What he said. But it depends on what everyone has to say," Mishiga said.

"Aeri, listen to me. You're the Yakuza Princess. You're the next in line. You can't die now. Who's gonna bring out the next generation?" Rinto asked.

That made Aeri snap out of her delusions. "You're right Rinto. Thank you," she said, as she went beside Rinto.

"Reed, Lucine. If you two want to build a better future, let's not do it here," Rinto suggested.

"Good point. We'll be free that way," Reed and Lucine said simultaneously, going to Rinto's side.

"You don't have to ask us," Tamaki said, as she, Kazoku and Asudo went beside Rinto.

Now only Echo was left. "Echo," Mishiga said and Echo looked at him.

"Go with them. You can get outta here once and for all," Mishiga said, seemingly reluctant.

"Mishiga...." Echo walked towards him. "Even you want to get out of here as well, right?" She asked.

"I want to, but I can't. I'm the Ultimate Despair, and I can't do anything about it," he replied.

"Then change yourself. Back to the sloth we all knew," she told Mishiga.

Mishiga suddenly got memories from the past few...days, weeks, he doesn't know.

He knew a few things, however. He didn't want Leo and Cyber's death be in vain.

He clicked his fingers five times, and the adults fell to the ground, groaning.

"You're right. You guys..." Mishiga looked at the rest, before bowing down to the ground.

"I am very sorry," he said, as he sounded like he was crying, which he literally was.

"Mishiga..." the others and the adults went and hugged Mishiga, who was still crying.

"We accept your apology," they said, smiling. Mishiga wiped his tears away, and gave out a smile.

"From now on, I'm not the Ultimate Despair nor the Ultimate Sloth. I am, from now on..."

"What?" Echo asked. "The Ultimate Enigma!" Mishiga yelled out, and everyone literally spat out water from their mouth.

"You totally deserve such an Ultimate," Asudo commented, laughing along with the others.

Suddenly, Monokumas came flooding in.
