Danganronpa: DISCONTINUED

The Mistress

A few days after the motive was revealed, I tried to look around the several halls for any sign of Kiri's possible return...

She shouldn't be taking that long. If the map we gave her was accurate, she should have been there a long time ago... What happened to her?

As I failed to open another door, I sighed... Kiri had the treasure. It's faid to say that any door she may have opened is locked. I can't follow after her.

I regained my composure. She is alive. She has to be. She is getting the other students and is helping them back to us! I'm sure of it! I can't let the feeling of despair getting the best of me.

That's exactly what Monokuma would want.

Before I could return to the dorm hall to check on Chihiro again, a sudden shriek caught my attention...

Aoi Asahina!

My eyes widened slightly as I rushed through the hall and towards wherever Aoi may be. I turned several corners and was surprised to see Byakuya, Toko, and of course, Aoi were all there.

Naegi: What happened?!
Byakuya: The killing game appears to have claimed another victim.
Naegi: No.. No, No-No. Who is it?

I made my way pass them and...I was surprised to see Celestia's unconcious body on the floor with a slightly bloody hammer on the floor next to her... I gasped and tried to see if she was okay, but was stopped by Byakuya, who didn't seem remotely phased by the death...

Naegi: w-what the...
Toko: Serves her right..
Naegi: How could you say that? Don't speak Ill of the dea-
Byakuya: She isn't dead. There's no blood on her, and the only thing I can assume to be the weapon has bits of blood on it. She is faking it.
Celestia: for.. the sake of survival..

Much to my surprise, Celestia struggled back up to her feet. She winced as she held her forearm and sighed as she held her head. I tried to help her, but Aoi held me back as her eyes narrowed at the gambler.

Celestia: I was wounded, but not fatally.. Whoever did it went through great lengths to cover their face, and attacked me with that..
Naegi: what the...

I reached out and picked up the... Justice Hammer 1? It was small. Certainly to small to be used as a real weapon, right?

Celestia: Hagakure.. He is in grave danger! Whoever did this to me kidnapped him! They went left. I saw them as I pretended to faint!
Byakuya: That means they're headed to the second floor.
Naegi: Lets go!

I ran past everyone and made my way to the second floor of the building. On the way, Aoi ran further down to get Chihiro to come and be safer with us. At this point, we had no idea who, or even where the killer may be...

Once we made it into a sort of book room, we were welcomed to the sight of a severely wounded and bleeding Hagakure, with bits of glass and blood in his hair. I stared, wide eyed at the sight as he struggled to speak to us... Next to his head was a shattered glass ball, and another, larger hammer.. Justice Hammer 2.

Once Aoi returned with Chihiro, she shrieked and tensed up at the sight of all the blood and glass. She steadily made her way to Hagakure, who groaned and held his head, getting blood on them as the bits of glass cut his palms and knees..

Aoi: Are... You alright?
Hagakure: The J-Justice robo.. dude a-attacked me..
Byakuya: Hardly the time to fantasize.
Celestia: He isn't fantasizing. Trust me.

As she said this, she raised her hand to reveal a small camera. Within the camera roll, there were pictures of... Hagakure being attacked by Justice Robo.

Byakuya:... Well then.
Celestia: Bizarre, I know. But there it is.
Aoi: We have to find who ever is in that suit!
Hagakure: I... think I'd rather take 5... My head is killing me..
Celestia: Very well. As for the rest of us, I believe we shall split into groups. Fukawa, Togami. Asahina, Fujisaki. Naegi and Myself.

We all nodded and disbanded. Celestia and I took to running through the hall, though, something came to mind... Where was Kiyotaka..?

We made our way to the game room and I looked around the room. Nothing shown any sign of Justice Robo..

Naegi: Nothing... Hey, Celestia, any idea on-N!

I was suddenly cut off by Celestis's slender, smooth arms wrapping around my waist from behind. I tensed up as she gently buried her face into the back of my hood...

Celestia: Makoto..
Naegi: U-Uh.. Yeah?
Celestia: Thank you.. for defending your Queen.
Naegi: I-I haven't uh.. done anything..
Celestia: You make me feel safe enough..

As my nerves ran around my mind, I began to panic and fumble my words, the door suddenly shot open. Celestia quickly pulled away from me.

I turned my complete and rushing attention to the door and my eyes widened as... Justice Robo barged into the room?!
