Danganronpa: Fictional Nexus

Chapter 3: The Manipulator's Malice Part 3 (Daily Life)

After getting a couple more questions via evil_bean on AO3 and King_Chronos on Wattpad, I'll answer them right now. To answer the former's comment, this chapter will be focusing on almost everyone learning the backstories of their companions in the city. And to answer King_Chronos, well since Trunks was shown to be able to turn super and fire ki blasts, Miles still has his web shooters, Spidey Sense, and wall crawling, and Killua himself can run up walls, you can guess that Killua still use Godspeed. Although you have to wait and see if it comes into play, or if it is as strong as it is in HunterXHunter. Anyways on with the show!

Chapter 3: The Manipulator's Malice Part 3 (Daily Life)

"Ah! Gundham! Your hamster is back!"

Aoi called the Ultimate Breeder over to vent they found before and Maga-Z hopped out of it, approaching them.

"He is called Maga-Z, I entrust you not to forget that name. Use that hand ritual again to recall it if you must." Gundham told her as she did just that.

"Gotcha! So what did they say?" Asahina asked him as he unfolded the letter.

To Mr. Tanaka, Supreme Overlord of Ice, (Gundham smirked as he read that part, clearly glad someone recognized his title)

We really would appreciate all the help you could give us, so that we are able to escape from this city. There were originally 17 of us, but now 13 of us are left. Two people were murdered, while the other two were executed. Seeing them all die has made this an excruciating experience, almost hopeless. However, your letter has managed to give us some hope in escaping from here, well, if we can trust you at least. We have not seen your face or any signs of who you might be as a person, aside from your letter. Please be truthful to us if you really want to help the rest of us escape. If you do, we will be sure to give you something nice in return. Thank you, hope Maga-Z and the letter can get to you safely.

"Four of them are dead already... we have to help them immediately! Before any more of them are lost!" Aoi says as Gundham finishes reading.

"We need to formulate a plan that guarantees success, there is none if we simply charge in without one. Two class trials must have taken place already, which means that soon a new motive will be introduced. The mastermind's pattern is predictable, yet there could be things we may not foresee..."

"True... maybe we should send them another message tomorrow morning. Just let them know we're on their side, and that they should keep us updated on what happens." Aoi suggests as Gundham nods.

"That looks to be the only choice for now, let us be patient then. I'll be sure to contact the other Remnants, a few of their powers may prove useful in the future..." Gundham turns away and begins to walk off.

"Yeah, especially, uh... Kamakura? Was that his name? Oh yeah, it was!" Asahina slaps her fist down to her palm as she figures it out.

Gundham then begins to think aloud to himself, "Hm... 'something nice in return', eh? I am sure those mortals managed to find something truly useful, perhaps it is something I could use to gain more power..."

"YOU TOLD HIM WE WOULD GIVE HIM SOMETHING?!!"

Gold yelled as Bernadetta covered her ears.

"Keep your voice down, please." I told him, irritated at his noise.

"We can't afford having Monokuma... or Aoba hear what we're doing." Trunks scolded him.

"Do we even have anything to give him? We also need to know we can trust this dude too." Ryuji pointed out.
