Chapter 1: The Age of Discovery (II)

  Group: Mondo, Nekomaru, Leon, and Kiyotaka

  Goal: Find or create an exit from the school

  After exiting the gym, the group members went back to the main entrance to investigate it further and look for more clues.

  "Allow us to search for ways to covertly disarm this barricade!" Shouted Taka.

  "To hell with that! I'm just gonna brute force it!" said Mondo, approaching the barricade with a chair.

  The mounted machine gun continued to follow Mondo's movements.

  "I wouldn't do that if I were you, man..." Leon added. "It hurts, getting hit with one baseball a game, I couldn't imagine 100 bullets every second."

  "That's right! Raw power will get you nowhere! You need to hone your technique and form as well!" yelled Nekomaru.

  Mondo reluctantly threw the chair down and stopped his advance.

  "Yeah?! And what other ideas do you have for finding a way out of here? Or for finding any clues in general?" Mondo responded.

  Leon appeared to be looking at a bulletin board in the entryway. He noticed a specific piece of paper that could help them.

  "Guys, come take a look at this."

  "Hm? What is it?" said Mondo, walking over to the board.

  Taka joined them in front of the board.

  "Is that a cl-"

  "IS THAT A CLASS ROSTER?!" Nekomaru yelled, drowning out Taka's voice.

  They were looking at two pieces of paper that appeared to list the students of the 77th and 78th csses.

  "THIS IS AMAZ-... wait a second." Nekomaru appeared to have calmed down and was studying the pages intently. "Why is the 78th css here? I'm part of the 77th css, and I just walked in here for orientation a few hours ago. Then, I woke up from a dream I don't remember entering."

  "What are you going on about, man?" questioned Leon. "The 77th css must be second year students now. Me and 7 of the other students here are in the 78th css. You guys must have already been going here for a year."

  "Perhaps this has something to do with our collective unconsciousness upon entering!" said Taka. "We all woke up without remembering going to sleep. Therefore, an association between that and our current situation is likely. Everyone, discuss exactly what elements your dreams contained!"

  "Are you serious? We're supposed to break out of here, and instead, we're talking about our dreams?" Mondo questioned "Whatever man. In my dream, I woke up in this super weird circus pce with a motorcycle cage. I was standing in like some kind of oil or butter or some shit too. When I tried to leave, I got nauseous and fell into a dark-ass hole and woke up here. You happy with that?"

  "Very! My circumstances were simir, albeit less outndish." Taka said "In my dream I was in the storage room of some kind of science b with a severe pain in my head, much like you I attempted to leave the room, only to fall into a terrifying void!"

  "Ah, you guys had it rough." Leon commented. "I can't say mine was much better, though. I dreamt I was in a batting cage with a pitching machine facing me. That didn't really throw me off, but the fact that I had pain all over my body like I'd just gotten hit by a truck did. I tried to leave, too, fell in the void, and woke up."

  "I guess it's my turn!" said Nekomaru."I had a dream that I was a robot in a strawberry and apple themed elevator! I also fell into the void after exiting!"

  "Well... That one definitely wins the 'weirdest dream' contest." Leon said.

  "Moving on!" Taka shouted. "If I am thinking logically, there are several common elements in our recollections! Firstly, we all experienced these dreams but do not recall falling asleep. Secondly, we all fell into a void after exiting the rooms that our dreams took pce in. Lastly, upon awakening, we all were in an unfamiliar part of this school. Does that sound right?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

  "Yeah, but what the hell does it mean?" asked Mondo.

  "I... don't know." said Taka, "But I will try my best to find out!"

  "GUYS!" Nekomaru yelled. "Take another look at these rosters!"

  The group looked closer at the css rosters and noticed exactly what Nekomaru was talking about.

  There were other people on them. People who weren't in this killing game.

  "What is all of this?" asked Leon. "There's supposed to be a Detective and a Lucky Student, and a bunch of other people who aren't here."

  "Ah, bullshit! This is probably all Monokuma messing with us again!" said Mondo.

  "I do not think so!" said Taka."There are supposed to be 16 students in each css. However, we only have 8 of our 16. I imagine it is the same for the 77th css."

  "Yeah... It sure looks that way." Said Nekomaru, looking at his css's roster.

  "Damn! We missed out on a swimmer, a princess, and a gamer girl?" said Leon, disappointed.

  "And we still aren't any fucking closer to finding out where they are or what the hell is going on!" shouted Mondo.

  "Don't give up!" Shouted Nekomaru "In times like these, it is essential to rely on cooperation! Let's go meet up with the other groups, maybe our clue will be able to add on to one of theirs!"

  "I couldn't have said it better myself! Let us reconvene with our cssmates!" Taka said.

  With that, the group went to meet back up with the others...
