It was really dark. I couldn't breathe at all. It felt like a dreaded feeling was looming over my head. As the ground underneath me slowly disappeared, the void underneath soon exposed itself. I had never felt such despair in my life.

I fell, fell and fell... I continued falling. Until...

"Wake up! It's all just a dream!"

"Just..a dream?"

"Everyone's waiting! Come on, you're going to be late!"

༺═──────────────═༻


Jesse: Gah!

Jesse: What was that?

Jesse: But more importantly, where am I? This                    doesn't look like Hope's Peak at all.

I was in what seemed to be a mansion's bedroom. A chandelier was hanging from the top of the roof. A vintage wallpaper was pasted on every corner of the area. Candles decorated the room with a somewhat elegant ambiance. The bed was a king-sized bed with many pillows and a fluffy bedsheet. An oversized stained glass window was on the walls along with a questionable chicken jockey painting. There was also a clock on the far right corner of the room. Rather unusual place to have a clock if you ask me.

Ugh, that smell. Reminds me of days-old zombies.

I turn around to notice a neatly placed envelope on the bedside table. I opened the envelope and it read;

"Come to the dining room of this mansion at
8 o' clock sharp! There is a school party going to be held there. See you soon!"

- The Host

Jesse: 8 o' clock sharp? What time is it now?

The clock read "8.20 a.m.".

Jesse: Oh, shoot! I'm late! I gotta hurry quick!

I dashed to the mansion dining room as quickly as my feet can take me.

*TIME SKIP OF 2 MINUTES LATER*


As I reached the gigantic doors of the dining hall, I was greeted by the sight of several Ultimates standing around the hall as they were waiting for a person to arrive.

???: Well, looks like the final person has arrived.

???: How would you know that he's the final person?

???: Look, there's exactly 16 seats at this dining room. So that just means that 16 people are supposed to be present.

???: Okay, I guess that makes sense but-

???: HEY YOU!

Jesse: Uh, me?

???: Why you gotta make me stand around fo' 20 minutes, eh? Some school party hoster makin' us stand around like dumb pigs.

???: Hey, calm down. I don't even think he's the host anyway. Besides, I think he should be much more sophisticated than slamming the doors open like that.

Jesse: ...

Jesse: So uh, I think we all should introduce ourselves to everybody first before we get into any fights. I don't find it very polite to call each other 'person' or 'that person with that trait'.

???: I guess that sounds good. I'll start first.

???: The name's Petra. I'm the Ultimate Weapon Expertise.

???: I'll go next! I'm Aphmau and I'm the Ultimate Roleplayer. It's nice to meet you all!

???: I'm Ivor. The Ultimate Brewer. Although, I really want to be the Ultimate Ninja instead of some lousy talent like what I currently have.

???: I'm Lukas. The Ultimate Storyteller. Although, I don't really deserve my talent.

Strange. I wonder why he thinks that.

???: I'm DanTDM, please just call me Dan. I'm the Ultimate Miner.

???: Hello everyone. I'm StacyPlays. But you can call me Stacy. I'm the Ultimate Dog Enthusiast.

???: I'm Lizzie! And I'm the Ultimate Creative Builder!

???: Hello everybody! My name is Stampy Cat! But please shorten it to just Stampy. I'm the Ultimate Animal Caretaker. It's a pleasure to meet you all!

???: I'm IHasCupquake. So just call me Cupquake. I'm the Ultimate Island Inhabitant!

???: I'm Amy Lee! And I'm the Ultimate Water Expert!

???: I'm CaptainSparklez. But please call me Adam. I'm the Ultimate Commentator.

???: ...Cassie Rose. I don't know my talent.

Wait. She doesn't know her talent? I might have to ask her later.

Jesse: I'm Jesse. The Ultimate...Lucky Student.

Two familiar faces soon emerged from the crowd.

Olivia: Hi everyone! I'm Olivia, the Ultimate Redstone Engineer.

Axel: I'm Axel. The Ultimate Demolitionist.

Jesse: Olivia, Axel! Hey!

Olivia: Oh hey, Jesse. Didn't expect you to be here. Glad that I can hang out with somebody else other than Axel.

Axel: Hey!

Olivia: Anyway, why were you late and how did we even get here? Last time I checked I was standing in front of Hope's Peak before I passed out.

Jesse: I just woke up later tham everybody else, that's all. And about this place...

Jesse: It's obvious we're in an abandoned mansion and I can't seem to find any exits other than the windows. Wait...

Petra: Don't try to escape.

Jesse: Why?

Petra: There's monsters surrounding this mansion. If you plan to escape, that's basically you having a death wish.

Jesse: Ah. So there goes that thought.

"GREETINGS, ULTIMATES OF HOPE'S PEAK ACADEMY."

A booming voice echoed throughout the entire dining hall.
