Danganronpa: DISCONTINUED

Fading Away

Monokuma tried to slash down at me but I moved out of the way. I looked at the screen and saw that Chihiro was currently doing something on his digital notebook...

He was accessing Alter Ego through the notebook..

I narrowly dodged another cut, only for Monokuma's claws to dig into my leg and cause severe bleeding.

I screamed in pain and threw Monokuma towards the saw in hopes to destroy him. Fortunately, he seemed to be stunned slightly as he hit the wall with his head. As everyone watched in fear and desperation, I clenched my leg and grimaced at the blood that spilt down to my feet. I shouted through the halls and tried my best to limp towards the other side. However, a giant blade darted beside me and caught me by my shirt, causing me to get flung to the wall by my side. I panted and groaned in pain as I reached up for the blade, cutting my shirt away from it as I tore off some of my shirt and tied it around my thigh in hopes to minimize the amount of blood I'd loose...

Monokuma: You aren't leaving alive. Not as far as I'm concerned.

My eyes widened as Monokuma dashed towards me with claws ready. I growled and grabbed the blade by the handle, slamming the hilt of the blade on the principals head as I used the tip of it to keep Monokuma in place.

The rules didn't matter.. not as far as I cared.. I had to get out of here.. To get out alive.

As Chihiro continued to used Alter Ego to alter and hack into my punishment, I desperately limped and dragged myself to the end of the hall..

Suddenly, several needles came out from the wall and cut me. I felt several cuts on my arms and my legs.. I winced and fell to my knee as I tried to reduce the amount of blood that covered me... I can't.. can't give up...

Through my gritted teeth, I tried my best to hurry towards the exit as Chihiro seemingly disabled the traps. It was just a walk...

Monokuma: NO!

I shouted in pain as Monokuma dug his claws into my other arm. As he dragged his claws through my flesh, causing more blood to spill out, I stumbled back and hit my back against the wall, crushing Monokuma under my weight. Once he fell onto the floor, I proceeded to try and stomp on his head..

Despite how weak I was, I managed to damage his head... unfortunately, at the cost of Monokuma's claws being jabbed into my foot. I stumbled back and screamed in pain as my tears mixed with my own blood. Everyone just watched as I stumbled and hit the other side of the wall... I couldn't help but pant and feel the blood spill out from my cuts...

This... T-This is how I die.. I'm going to die here...

Chihiro: (YN)!

I struggled to turn my head to the side as a bit of blood spilled out of my mouth. Chihiro was staring at the camera... no. He was staring at me...

Despite me being surrounded by darkness.. Monokuma hunting me down.. and me bleeding out on the floor.. ready to.. to give up...

Despite all that, Chihiro still believed in me.. still looked up to me, just like he did before. I.. I couldn't just give up on him.. not now.

I struggled to get myself up as blood continued to spill out from my wounds. I struggled to walk closer to the exit, but a trap door opened beneath where I placed my foot... I fell down into the trap as blood spilt from the edge of where I once stood... the trap door shut behind me as I was surrounded by darkness, only to feel something hit my head and cause me to pass out...

...

Byakyua: Where.. Where did he go?!
Chihiro: He's... He's safe.. Far from harm..
Naegi: You know where he is? Where is-
Chihiro: I-I don't.. He's safe though.. I-I know that for a fact..
Hagakure: Safe? SAFE? Did you see how much he was bleeding? He could be dying- Or worse-

He was suddenly cut off by Kiyotaka, who had tears streaming down his face.

Kiyotaka: I have faith in your abilities, Chihiro.. but do you have any idea as to where he may be?
Chihiro: I-I don't k-know.. b-but he's safe... h-he isn't here anymore..
Kyoko: Let me see your digital notebook.

Kyoko was handed Chihiro's notebook and was surprised to see.. there was a map. One of the whole school... not just where they were allowed to search but.. everywhere. Every single room, every single area.. the school was significantly larger then anyone even expected...

Once Kyoko found where (YN) may have been, she was surprised to see that... (YN)'s digital notebook was in a classroom..

Kyoko: Everyone! Follow me!

As Kyoko gave Chihiro his notebook back, they all ran out of the room and through the school. Many of them grew tired of running, but they couldn't stop. Not when they had hope. Hope that their friend was alive and well...

They ran pass the pool, pass the cafe, pass the gym. A few of them left so they can get some medical supplies for (YN)'s wounds...

Once they arrived to the classroom, Naegi slammed the door opened and was horrified to see...

No one... not a single soul in the room.. No body, no remote signs if (YN) being there.. not even any blood...

Naegi: Impossible... Check the room! Everyone! Don't stop until we find (YN)!

Just like that, everyone began to look around the inside of the room. As Chihiro used his digital notebook to investigate, he glanced at a table to see...

(YN)'s digital notebook...

Chihiro: H-His... His notebook..
Kyoko: Why doesn't he have it?
Chihiro: I-I don't know..! I can't track him w-without it..!
Naegi:... He.. He never had it.. ever since the first day, He NEVER had it! He left it here...
Kyoko:... what do.. what are you saying?
Naegi: Back at the first day, ever since then, he.. he never had a notebook..

Everyone stared at Naegi as he picked up (YN)'s notebook and began to read out whatever information was available about him...

Naegi: (YN) Ikusaba.. Age is 17. The Ultimate Willpower.. Height is 182.88 centimeters... that's it..
Kyoko: the Ultimate Willpower.. no wonder he was so resilient.
Byakyua: Fascinating. The Ultimate Willpower was among us the whole time, and yet no one knew any better.. In fact, Our own digital notebooks never even informed us.
Chihiro: I-I unlocked the rest of the i-information...

Naegi nodded and looked amongst the other students as he took a deep breath... just as (YN) had once done, he steadied his breath and prepared to speak..

Naegi: We can't let ourselves fall to despair! No more violence, No more deaths! We can't kill each other anymore. No matter what Monokuma may throw to us, We have to persevere! For Leon. For Sayaka. For Sakura. For Junko. For Mondo. For (YN)! We can't let their sacrafices be for nothing!

Everyone stared at Naegi for a brief moment. Before Naegi can register nerves, Byakyua stepped up with Naegi. As did Kyoko and Chihiro, Aoi and even Toko.

Naegi: We can't give up..! With enough hope, We will survive!

While most of the students agreed and cheered, one student didn't seem so eager for this change... a student that was in the shadows wasn't at all happy with how this was turning out.
