Stumbling for a moment and breathing quietly, Ollie's eyes wandered over to Junko, watching her hand slam down, fingernails digging into the cement texture of the roof, the red paint on her nails cracking as she did so. He could feel his heart begin to race wildly, he had no idea what she was going to do, that's what worried him the most.

'Despair....despair is the great unknown!!' Junko's eyes widened, she had that look in them. The look of anger mixed with showing signs of coming unhinged, "Everything...all of this...hope you have....all you've tried..." Ice shards rose up quicker than before, surrounding the entire roof top as the temperature turned completely colder than before. "...IT'S FOREVER IN VAIN AND ALL FOR NOTHING!" The pigtailed girl yelled as she watched the shards pierce Ollie, seeing in his arms that he had gone for Chiaki, smirking to herself. That was to be expected, he would forget about his own safety to rush to hers. As for Mukuro, Junko caught glance of her sister swiftly dodging her damage, as expected from a soldier of her caliber. "There is no way in hell I would ever bow down to stupid hope loving idiots that think they can stop me..." Her blue eyes watched as Mukuro landed, securing her a guaranteed back up. "You get it Kamukura, you want me to succeed, even if you never admitted it. I won't...let these boring people ruin that!!" An icy wind surrounded the fashionista as it exploded into a light.

Ollie and Chiaki looked away immediately, unsure what to expect. Ollie held onto Chiaki as he felt her grip onto his arm, He didn't expect Junko Enoshima to be this powerful. Mukuro, sure. But not Junko...she didn't even seem like the type to battle it out without at least some form of manipulation. As the dust settled, his eyes looked towards the girl, his mouth slightly dropping.

"Junko..." Mukuro whispered, standing back, she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. Her sister was always unstable, unhinged even. But this- this was a new level of unstable that she had never witnessed. Granted, half of her childhood was gone because of joining Fenrir at a very young age, but this was still a surprise.

"You know...I'll admit that you were a good choice Oliver. But I hate to tell you, you'll be the one dying here. Not me. If I can't kill you, I'm going to tear apart the one thing from you that you can't live without, I'll tear apart the gamer girl and then you'll be begging for my help!"

Chiaki's eyes widened as she caught glance of the fashionista's new appearance, her grip on Ollie's arm tightening. Just the thought of knowing how much Junko resented her made her feel unsettled. Her goal is to get the strongest of 77B to fall into despair, knowing well that if she had him on her side, destruction would increase.

"Alright Ultimates..." Junko's new appearance included the ice surrounding almost her whole body, it was like armor that she had designed. "If you think you can overcome despair, just try it!"

"She...She made armor out of ice, she doesn't care who she hurts along the way, not until she gets me to come onto the side of despair." Ollie mumbled to himself, "Fucking wonderful. It's nothing I can't handle though. I just have to destroy that barrier."

"I never did believe in hope. It was always just a fancy little thing that everyone else had, but look at you Oliver. Beaten up and wanting to be this hero for your class so you can end despair. You chose to get involved with us, and now your classmates, your friends. They're gone! They'll never be the same kids you met." Junko shouted, the unhinged look in her eyes was becoming more and more visible, "It's fate. If you had backed down, you would have kept your damn friends, you wouldn't be so worn down like you are now. The only downside is you'd have lost...no, even then, you would have given up. Just how far are you willing to go..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed that he was gone, leaving Chiaki's side. That wasn't like him but she saw a blur on her left side, lifting an arm to create an ice barrier, narrowing her eyes. "Get the hell away from me!!"
