Danganronpa U.S.A.

Chapter 13: Last Day, Last Meal

     We looked at each other. There was more of us. 1 class was taken down, the other was playing the same game as us. What will come of them? What will come of us? We need to escape. Tomorrow will be our chance.

     Abbate swiveled around, he looked liked he seen a ghost. "Umm," he said. "I guess it's curfew?" He got up and walked away. 

     "Yeah," Angelly said. "We need rest. We have a big day tomorrow." She turned and walked away.

     I started walking to my room. Everyone was in shock. I had told them that hope was the answer, but who knows? The only way to know is until tomorrow.

    I crawled into bed and looked at the ceiling. What was going to happen if we lost the final game? I know we would die, but how? That thought was like a knife. I thought of all of my dead friends. Amanda, Marvin, and Coco. I missed them, but Amanda died saving my life and Marvin was driven into despair, killing Coco. Then I remembered the file I found. I patted around my body, it was gone. "Shit." 

     I jumped from the bed and ran to the door, it was locked. I ran and opened the drawer with the lock picking kit, it was gone. Then I grabbed the sword propped up on top of my drawer. I ran full speed at the door, it made a crack on the wood. I swung again, with more force this time. I made a whole. But there was metal blocking my way. "Noooo!" I started banging on the door, it was useless. I was stuck here 'till morning.

     I lifted the sword at hit the metal in frustration. It made my sword ricochet back to me, I was hit by the flat of the sword. Everything went black.

  *************************************************************** 

     I woke up on the floor. My head was killing me. I slowly got up. I looked at the clock on the wall, it was 8:17 in the morning. The metal door was gone. I opened the wooden door, no one was there. Why was the metal door there in the first place? There must have been something happening in the middle of the night. I bet people had laughed when they saw getting knocked out. It was funny, this sick game is a live show for sick people to watch.

     I looked around, nothing seemed different. I didn't hear anyone talking. I walked to the cafeteria, no one was there. I sat down, it felt like hours, but it was just 10 long minutes. I was expecting Marvin to be cooking, but I realized that he was dead. I got up and decided to give cooking a shot. I've seen Marvin do it a couple of times, it seemed pretty easy.

     I'm also embarrassed to amit that I played Cooking Mama. I know that you think the game is for girls, but I played that game for when I think of my life in the future. I didn't know if I was going to get married or have kids. Video games are my life, I can't live without them I won all the tournaments. But I have a tie with someone from Japan for a nation Super Smash Bros. Melee, and if you guessed it, it was with Chiaki Nanami.

      She was also a Super High School Level Gamer. I was surprised, and so was she. She was a year older than me. I played Young Link, she played as Peach, like Armada, but better. We haven't hit each other once. Everyone was watching. The time was running out, game, it was over. They had two trophys waiting for us. We shook hands, no expression. We locked eyes once, then walked away with the money as well. Now she was dead. 

     A tear dropped from my cheek, I had to stop thinking about it, about despair. I didn't want it to take over me, and it never will. Hope was on my side. 

     I took some eggs and bacon, a simple breakfast. I cracked some eggs, then i realized i could make omelettes, my favorite. I grabbed cheese, green pepper, sausage, and onions. I took out 6 pans and started cooking. It was easy, 3 egg omelettes with everything in it for what was left of us. We needed this energy for what was going to be ahead of us. I didn't know what Monokuma would do to me. He should've done something to me already, maybe he let me off the hook? Who knows, I will find out.

     I flipped the omelettes, then i heard someone walk in. It was Ryan. "Hey K5," he said. "What are you doing up so early?" He stood next to me. He had a smile on his face and was looking at the food, his stomach rumbled. 

     "I just wanted to make you guys breakfast," I lied. I didn't want to say that I knocked myself out trying to escape my room, I will sound like an idiot. "Today is going to be a long day, so think of this as maybe our last meal or celebratory meal. I just hope we win this game. I want to know what happened outside these walls. I want to know if my mother is still alive."

     "Don't worry," Ryan said. "We will get out of this hell hole." He was about to sit down, but then he turned back to me. "Remember the files you found," he asked. "You still have them?"

     I hung my head. "No," I said. "I patted my self down, trying to find them, but I lost them. I don't know if i dropped them in the dump or I dropped it around the school." My face lit up a bit. "Maybe someone found them, maybe they might present it. I just hope to God that happens."

     I looked at the omelettes, they were ready. I turned off the stoves and removed the pans. I took some plates out and laid them on them. I added a basal to each one to make it look like as if it were in the game.

     "Were did you learn how to cook?" Ryan asked.

     "I picked it up from Marvin and a game." Saying Marvin's name out loud made me choke up.

     "Don't worry," Ryan said. "I bet he is in a better place know."

     "No he isn't. He is probably in Hell. He killed Coco, remember?"

     "But despair drove him to that. It wasn't his fault."

     "Whatever." I wanted to stop this conversation. I plated the food on the cafeteria table. I poured some orange juice and sat down at my plate. I was picking at the food. I was starving, but i didn't really want to eat. 

     "I'll wake everyone up," Ryan said. "We need to plan what to do."

     I didn't say anything. Ryan jogged off.

  *************************************************************** 

     Everyone was sitting at the table, eating what I made.

     "I can't believe you woke me up from my beauty sleep," Destiny complained. "You know I don't look good without it! You wouldn't even let me apply my makeup!"

     "Shut up," Brian said. "Like Ryan said, we need to make a plan, or we'll strike out."

     "Game over." I said.

     "Then what do we do?" Angelly asked.

     "We can only do our best," Ryan said. "We don't know what Monokuma will do. He is tricky, he always knows how to bend the rules, like what he did with K5."

     We were finishing up our breakfast when Monokuma was suddenly on the loudspeaker. "Everyone report to the GYM, immediately! The game will begin shortly!"

     "Let's do this." I said.
