Danganronpa: Future Arc Rebooted

Episode 8: Who Killed Cock Robin

As Byakuya arrived at the building, he was met with the familiar face of Hagakure. When they landed, Kichino stepped out, followed by a rather...worn down looking Atsu.

"Everyone take caution! We do not know what we will find in there." Kichino instructed the soldiers.

While Makoto and Komaru talked to each other and caught up, Arata watching with a longing look in his eyes.

'Hm...must be nice to have family...'

Then something popped into his head.

"Sara. Did you find your brother yet?" Arata asked.

Sara came into view on the screen.

"Stepbrother." She corrected

"..."

"And no. We haven't. I've found small hints that he's hiding somewhere in Towa City. He always liked puzzles and mysteries. He probably wants me to find him." She mumbled, looking off to the side.

Arata nodded. The sad look in her eyes was not missed by him.

"Anyways, don't worry. People are probably already there looking for you." Tara said from off screen.

"Thanks..." Makoto said.

"Oh, and Arata?"

"What?"

"Say hi to my brother for me." Tara said.

That's when the transmission ended. The second it did, the robot Miaya began shaking violently.

"Move." Arata said, prompting all three of them to get up and run out of the room.

Unfortunately, once out of the room, they came face to face with none other than Munakata.

Just then, the Miaya robot burst through the wall, setting it's sights on Munakata.

As the man charged at the robot, this gave the other three a chance to make their escape, which they did.

In the library, Kyouko continued to gather more clues. Beside her Kotori was also searching.

Ryouta watched over Ruruka.

Meanwhile, Koichi gathered all the pressure traps that had been set up around the room.

"Y'know, I heard a rumor that you were planning on forming your own faction within Future Foundation." The former scouter said, looking at Ruruka.

"That's not true." She rebutted with ease.

"Hm. It isn't, Huh? I don't know if I believe you. Hey, what about you, big guy?" Koichi said, turning towards the closed library doors behind him.

It was then that Juzo burst into the room. In his hand, he held a knife and immediately began to stalk towards Kyouko and Kotori.

The investigator stood in front of the detective, fully knowing that she couldn't dodge or block an attack due to her forbidden action.

Luckily, Koichi managed to bait Juzo, with snide comments and swift movements, into attacking him instead. But when the former boxer took a step forward, it activated a pressure trap, shooting a spear into Juzo's shoulder and pinning him to the wall.

"Checkmate." Koichi said, smirking. "You know, I've noticed that you don't really seem to be punching anyone. For a boxer, that's pretty strange, right? Could it be your forbidden action?"

Juzo glared at the man. If looks could kill, Koichi would be dead.

"I'll take that as a yes. But just so we're on equal grounds here, I'll tell you my forbidden action." Koichi said, holding up his hand.
