The Ultimate Outlaw

Spill Your Secrets

        Niles sighs as he walks through the school and the grounds. He was not getting many results so far with his searches. It was starting to piss him off a bit as he kept getting dead ends or was barred by a MonoKub. Every time he had tried to pick a lock, a MonoKub or Monokuma himself would stop his progress and wait for him to leave before leaving the locks. He was inspecting one suspicious building when he heard the door open behind him and whirls around. His hand had instinctively went to grab his bow, forgetting it wasn't there. However, he relaxed when seeing it was Rantaro and only Rantaro.

"What brings a pretty boy out here to a dirty room like this?" Niles questions, looking Rantaro up and down suspiciously.

"Doing my own exploration," Rantaro answers.

"I imagine your luck hasn't been great either" Niles hums out, starting to circle Rantaro.

"Sadly, you're correct. Have you figured out anything here?" Rantaro asks, turning in place to watch Niles.

"Not yet. I was about to begin my search in this dump. Care to join me?"

"I'll join you but do you trust me?"

"Not in the slightest."

"Fair enough. Obviously I trust you enough not to kill me."

"I would normally call you a fool for that but at this rate, I'd rather not get framed for murder nor do I want to be instantly figured out for a crime if I did murder you."

"Exactly why I trust you Niles."

"What a weird turn of events. A situation where I wouldn't normally be trusted yet everyone trusts me.... To an extent," Niles hums out. "Anyways, let's get searching."

"Right," Rantaro agrees. The two search the boiler room but only find mostly pipes covered in plant life and a few other objects neither of them knew what they were or what the function was. Niles does however, spot a manhole cover and approaches. He then tries to move it, but it was heavy. He grunts and tries to lift it, but the manhole cover does not budge. His grunting caught the green haired male's attention. Seeing what the Outlaw was doing, Rantaro goes over and assists him. It took more effort than it should have, but the two were able to get it off. Both males take a moment to catch their breath.

"Well, that's something," Niles huffs afterwards.

"Yeah, I wonder what's down there... I can feel a cold draft," Rantaro hums out.

"I would offer to go first but I insist you go first mystery man," Niles says. There was something about Rantaro that rubbed Niles the wrong way and he was determined to figure it out. Rantaro looks at Niles before shrugging and heading down the ladder. The green haired male thought that perhaps by listening to what Niles told him to do, he could eventually gain Niles's trust. It would be nice to have an ally in this wretched game and something told Rantaro that he wanted the one eyed man on his side. Shortly after Rantaro got to the bottom of the ladder, Niles appeared. Rantaro had walked a bit off to the side of the ladder and begins to turn to talk to Niles.

"Ni-" Rantaro starts out, only to get a tanned hand clamped over his mouth. His back hits the cold stone wall behind him as Niles pins him there next to the ladder. Rantaro's green eyes widen in shock at the speed, elegance and accuracy that Niles had moved at.

"Now, you want to tell me you Ultimate? I simply don't believe that you don't know it and that these... Monopads don't know it either," Niles says. His singular blue eyes was cold as it pierces Rantaro's greens. He moves his hand enough so that Rantaro could speak.
