A Whole New Killing Game!

Chapter 6: Pt 4

Kokichi  clenched down on his teeth, narrowing his eyes at Crona.

"Dammit Crona! Don't you see?! That damn witch is using you! You're her puppet! You have to stop!" he snapped. He started to march right towards him, but Crona's eyes widened. "Oh no, you're not getting any closer." he stated. Suddenly a green vine flew past Magane and I, and wrapped tightly around Kokichi's waist. He yelped, and attempted to break free.

"What the hell- let me go!" he shouted. Magane and I looked back....seeing another Buffoon. Except this one was bigger than the other one, and looked like a giant, monster-like rose. Of course, it had a clown face, just like the other one, which grinned widely and stuck his tongue out at us.

"Buffoon!" he cried. Suddenly two more vines were shot out, one tying me up, and the other tying up Magane. We both cried out, and shook as much as we could, but it was no use. We can't break free from these vines, and we don't even have anything to cut them with. I glared at Crona.

"I don't understand, what does Medusa even want?! What good does setting up a killing game do for her?!"  demanded.

"Oh, you don't know? It's to collect souls." Crona replied. Magane looked at him surprised. "Collecting souls?" she said. Crona nodded. "I need more and more souls to become a kishin. By capturing more people for this killing game, I can consume the souls of the victims until I become a kishin. And with the wide variety of species we can gather from many different worlds, the transformation will be that much quicker." Crona explained.

"What?! Hold on a sec....you captured us here, just so we could kill each other, and eat our souls after we die?! What the hell?! Why not just eliminate everyone once you kidnap them?!" Kokichi demanded. Crona gave a chuckle. "Lady Medusa believes this way is more entertaining....isn't that correct, m'am?" he said, suddenly looking to Monokuma. The bear chuckled....and his eyes suddenly began to glow yellow. My eyes widened.

"What the....is that witch possessing Monokuma's body?" Kanato said.

"I suppose there's no point in hiding myself any longer." suddenly a dark aura began to glow around Monokuma, and something began to take form beside him. Soon enough, the form finalized....and Medusa stood before us, grinning widely.

"I was getting stuffy in that robot anyways." she murmured. "And I was sick of being possessed by a damn witch." Monokuma grumbled. "You be nice, or I'll decide to disable you." Medusa said. I narrowed my eyes on her. That damn woman....she's responsible for all of this despair. For hurting everyone...

"Damn you...." I hissed. Medusa looked to me and smiled. "You poor boy. You must be incredibly angry. It's too bad you can't do a thing to stop me." she stated. "Fuck you, Medusa! We're not letting you get away with this!" Magane spat. The woman chuckled, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Oh, but you see, I already have~" That was when Monokuma walked over to the wall, and opened a hidden hatch on it, that revealed a narrow tunnel that went down into unknown darkness. Again, we struggled to break free from the vines, but they were too strong. "Why do you keep struggling? You know can't win. We're just gonna kill you. There's no point." Crona said. 

The Buffoon brought the vines closer to the vent, and the three of us stared at it with wide eyes. I felt so helpless. Was there really nothing else we could do? "Well, it was fun while it lasted," we looked to Crona, who grinned widely at us, "but I guess this is the end."

"Don't do this Crona....this isn't you. You're just being controlled. You don't have to do this." I stated. Crona's eyes widened, looking at me surprised. For a moment, he looked conflicted, looking at his mother and then back at his. For a moment, his expression held guilt, and his eyes were normal again. However, Medusa narrowed her eyes at her. "Crona? Has something gotten to you?" she hissed, almost as if daring him to argue against her.
