Danganronpa: Black and White

Chapter 13: Veritas (Destiny)

We returned back into the main chamber room where Burraku laid dead. There was no blood obviously due to him being a robot. Just metal. It had looked like I dismantled and destroyed it like a wild animal mauling it's prey.

"Big sister!" I hear Rin's voice and notice the others have caught up with us. The doors were unlocked now that Shiro and Burraku were defeated.

"Man... fuck bears." Sena groans and blinks looking around "What the hell happened?"

"It seems Suki, Yin, and Yashiro killed those two twins but... are they robots too?" Alice asked curiously "And where's my son?" She archs an eyebrow, a bit worried.

We explained how Azura went ahead and how Suki, Yashiro, and I fought the twins and how they ended up being robots.

"So they were robots just like that thing huh... Wouldn't be surprised if the Mastermind was a robot too." Ares sighs

"You've been saying 'was a robot too' and stuff... what do you mean?" Yahsiro asks and holds his side a bit. After the battle the pain finally kicked into Yashiro from his gunshot wound. He wasn't in deathly pain but of course it's gonna hurt.

"Well... that bear..."

It turns out the Monobear was a mix of an actual bear modified with robotic parts making it some super bear. Rin stayed far from the danger but analyzed it, giving them tips on what the bear's patterns were and such. Sena and Ares took the front lead, attacking close range with whatever they had at their dispoal. Alice was attacking with her spear and guns until they ran out of bullets. They eventually managed to kill it and immediately made their way to us.

"Heh... Think Azura could of taken it easily?" Yashiro chuckles softly "He's a tough kid... I honestly worry sometimes when he's not fighting with us... We depend on him a lot to squeeze us out of situations... I guess this kinda proved we don't always need him... although his help is very helpful!" Yashiro quickly says not wanting to jinx Azura not helping us anymore.

"...You know..." Ares crosses his arms. "Azura... I think he was right when he noted that he might not be fully himself again." He closes his eyes "I think his other self is still inside of him."

"What do you mean?" Alice asks, clearly worried for her son again.

"Well... Arvo did complete the project. This isn't some fairy tale where a kiss is going to make everything better again. Yes it did bring him back but I fear his mental state may be damaged for good... I'm not saying he will attack us again though. I think he can use this broken state of his though against the enemy. I've noticed since that incident that he hasnt been using his full potential that he showed against Suki. He's... truly beyond an Ultimate Guardian. Maybe beyond an Ultimate Killing Machine. He's an artist in the way of battle. He has scary strength but... he restricts himself unless needed... and I'm afraid that if he does let loose if he can return again by himself and without the help of someone to bring him back... which makes me worry again about what's going on with the Mastermind since he went to go see them..." Ares explains and notes to us.

We wouldn't need to wait long for something to happen.

"Look out!" Ares yells and pushes all back a few feet into the other chamber as part of the ceiling collapses in a sudden moment.

We slowly get back up but rush back into the other chamber to see what had happened.

In the middle of the room, a woman was slowly getting back up... and across from her was Azura.

Azura wasn't himself though. He was pissed off. This was anger that his aura was giving off. What happened up at the top? They were talking but I couldn't hear what they were saying. Suddenly Azura ripped off his eyepatch and the flames in his eyes only intensified.

Those flames... they weren't just some spark or light in the eyes of  a human.

This was the flames of anger.

Azura was serious.

He was pissed.

He was seriously pissed.

I see Azura grin widely before him and the woman charge at each other

"AZURA!" The woman screamed

"SHIRO!" Azura screamed back

And then they collided.
