[HIATUS] Soldiers of Hope, Fighters of Despair

To Victory: Book 2 Chapter 10

As the Soldiers of Hope led everyone to the Soldier base, each were givin a dark green coat with the wings of freedom to cover themselves. Hidden under a hood, Seto had to use part of his magic to block out the rain, leaving him weak to walk. Ty helped him for the entire day, while Hope's Foundation was fighting every Monokuma in there way. Some were weird shaped, others had certain weapons. The trainess were in the middle, protecting eachother from any harm. Kuzuryu had to come back, his eyepatch eye bleeding.

"If only Tsumiki didn't kill Ibuki and Saionji, she would've helped by now..." he muttered.

"What happened...?" Aura asked.

"A Monokuma almost ate me... luckily I'm still alive, but my leg is sprained and my eyepatch is long gone in the organs." He responded, sighing between breaths. Aura looked ahead and saw Naiemi and Shun running to fight.

What are they doing?!

Aura ran out from the middle of the circle, ignoring everyone. She didn't want to be the bystander anymore.

"Aura where in hell are you going?!"

"If you want to survive, you have to FIGHT!"

Everyone in the center stopped, along with everyone else. Monokuma's continued to fight, but they stared at Aura as a target.

"AURA LOOK OUT!" Adam screamed, pushing Aura away. He fell in Aura's place, getting grabbed by a Monokuma. Alesa came behind, but she soon ran out of gas when she hit the Monokuma's neck, saving Adam's life. He fell, the Monokuma falling near his feet. He yelped in pain.

"ADAM!" His team screamed in agony. The Monokuma was steaming as it slowly degrated into shards. He got up, his ribcage nearly broken. Alesa broke into tears.

"I've had enough of talking, i'll fight. Only because I consider Aura a true leader. If we are to survive, we gotta fight." Masami said. He stared at Naiemi strangely, then back at Aura. Everyone cheered, running towards the gate of Wall Sakura.

"If we work together, then we'll beat all of them and reach headquarters. Sound good?" Hinata asked. Everyone nodded, Adam slowly flying in the air with Alesa behind his back. Each member had hair flying, blades shimmering as a beam of light hit Aura. An image of what she'll face in the fiture terrified her, but as long as she had her team, she felt like she could do anything. The rain cleared, and she hoped everything would be alright.

Until she saw the giant beast before her. Everyone stopped, seeing the grinning teeth and the bright red eye. Aura trembled in fear, as a burst of laughter echoed in the entire city. It made a small crevasse in the wall as everyone jumped. Ashley, Dakota, and Sub flew towards the beast.

"WAIT STOP!" Naegi screamed. But it was too late. Blood splattered everywhere, only two corpses falling to the floor. Someone managed to survive as he saw the true person inside the eye.

"S-Sub...?!" Jerome stuttered. Everyone saw Sub at the eye of the Monokuma, staring intently at it. The monokuma raised its arm to get in for the kill, and as it swooped in, Sub fell to the floor, catching himself with his manuver gear and the explosion behind his back. A bloody figure fell to the floor, knowing that he had failed his master, and that in hell, he would be cursed. 

Two cadets gone... Everyone floated down the other side of the wall, seeing three dead bodies on the floor.

"Ashley and Dakota... gone..." Seto sighed, tears slowly filling his eyes. Everyone looked at the lost cadets, while the trainees investigated the third corpse. A little boy with bandages on his face and arms, orange hair and an orange headset. He had orange hair and a purple bruise on his left hand. Bloody, torn gym shirt and short made a mark, as a bone stuck out slightly.

(Uh...)

"Aw sick!" Shuuen exclaimed in disgust. IF and Aya left, knowing that they couldn't handle the sight.

"W-WHo is this kid...? Was he the one who fell out of the Monokuma?" Light asked. Sub limped over, blood smeared across his face. He held his waist as his hand was sprained.  Everyone at the time knew about Sub's mute, but this time he used his blood to write.

'Masaru Damion'. He drew an arrow pointing to the dead body. He then pointed to the headset. Junho carefully picked it up as it read the name Sub had givin them. He continued writing on the ground as he almost fell limp. Ty quickly ran to him and started bandaging his waist. Parts of the note was smudged.

'I h ar he as a f ti n m mber t at f at. En s i a'

"What the hell..." Dean rolled her eyes. Walter punched her arm as he leaned over.

"Looks like that kid was involved with Enoshima. If this is correct, it says 'I hear he was a member featuring Enoshima'. If there are other kids like that, then we have a good battle ahead of us."

"Well... for sure we know that Enoshima has kids working for her, and that probably when going out there to the palace it'll be risky." Adam butted in. He saw Sub's writing and sighed. 

"Our world is a cruel place, and we just so happen to live in it." Naegi and Kirigiri walked over and stared in the sky.

"Yes we do, but everyday we will bring ourselves to victory." Naegi said. A 19 year old who has suffered through darkness wanted to change it. But all he saw was the evil grin of Juno Enoshima.

A funderal was held with everyone in the main faction. A picture of the orange haired boy with lit candles around his frame.

"I knew from the start he couldn't do it. But he risked his life to do so." The pink haired girl sighed.

"B-but he got us to one step closer... d-did he?" The masked boy asked.

"I suppose so..." The blue haired boy muttered. The green haired girl chimed a prayer, and everyone followed along. Junko was in the shadows, watching. 

"So... this is despair... I've felt it once, I don't mind feeling it more." The only tbing anyone could see was the grinning face of the girl.
