Danganronpa: Future Arc Rebooted

Episode 1: Third time's a charm

Juzo cracked his knuckles and approached both of the boys menacingly.

As they were put into handcuffs, they both remained quiet.

"Sorry to do this to the 'hero' who took down Junko Enoshima." The muscular man said sarcastically, staring directly at Makoto.

With that, Juzo reared back his arms and punched both Arata and Makoto in the gut. Hard. The two boys fell to the ground, wheezing.

Arata, in particular, felt the blow to his core. The injuries he obtained in the killing game, made his abdomen very fragile.

Haru nearly flung herself at Juzo, but it took most, if not, all of her willpower to stay still.

"You're assaulting those who can't fight back, and you call yourself a part of Future Foundation?" Kyouko spoke up.

Juzo simply scoffed as he continued to assault the boys.

"After all of our comrades you sacrificed, I don't know how you people can call yourselves heroes!" He shouted, kneeing Arata in the jaw and punching Makoto in the face.

"Please stop!" Aoi cried. She made a move to go help them but was roughly yanked back, narrowly avoiding a kunai that was thrown at her.

It lodged into the wall, right were she would've been if she hadn't been moved.

Ruruka smirked.

"Next time, I'll have Izayoi throw one at your head. Don't intervene." She said.

The tall blonde next to her held up multiple kunai, proving that they weren't joking.

Aoi looked behind her to see who had pulled her away, only to see the sharp red eye of Haru looking back at her.

Juzo grabbed both of the boys by their hair and yanked them to their feet.

"Stand up!" He demanded.

It was then that Gozu had enough. He stood up, sending the room into silence as the former professional wrestler approached Juzo.

"Juzo. Enough is enough. You must stop. Please." He said, his words were polite but his voice was anything but.

Juzo laughed and threw the boys to the ground.

"I don't take orders from you."

Gozu sighed loudly. In a quick movement, he stood between Juzo and the boys on the ground.

"Very well. But if you wish to continue, then I, shall be your opponent." He said, tearing his suit jacket off and readying himself for a fight.

During this, Kyouko, Aoi, Kotori, and Haru ran to their friends sides.

Arata grunted as he attempted to move his jaw, but was only met with shooting pain.

"Damnit..." he hissed.

"Makoto and Arata are obviously unfit for questioning. They deserve time to recover from their wounds." Kyouko said, glaring sharply at Juzo.

Surprisingly, the next words that Munakata said were in favor of them.

"I agree. Take them both away. For now, this meeting is temporarily adjourned." He said, standing up.

-

"Chisa. Can you go check on Makoto and Arata?"

There was a nod from the woman. She turned to leave the room, unaware of the eyes that watched her go.

-

Standing side by side, Kotori and Haru stood alone in the hallway.

"Why won't they...let us see...Arata...?"
