Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 10, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
FOR THE BOSS ROBOTS I'M GOING TO WRITE IT FROM THE ROBOT'S POINT OF VIEW INSTEAD OF THE CONTROLLER.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
After descending the stairwell scribbled with childish graffiti leading underground to the train station they came to a large door. With no hesitation and ready for everything Shin pushed open and along with Komaru, Drake, and Sachi they walked into a large space without a spec of light to guide them. Along with this darkness was an even more overbearing silence that threatened to consume them if they were too weak of heart, yet despite this all four of them remained calm... for the most part.
Sachi: "Sure is dark. It’s perfect for a sneak attack."
Komaru: "Ah, your joking right?"
Sachi: "That I at least know of 1,434 methods to kill each and everyone here in the darkness, and 196 of those methods involve the use of deadly poison that will leave you in agonizing pain... will you believe me if I said yes?"
Drake: "Fuck! Now I'm scared, but not of this darkness."
Komaru: "...I think I'm now afraid of the dark. What if there's someone like Sachi here?"
Shin: "Hey, it isn't so dark that I can't react to a sneak attack, but I do wish you stop talking about it. The more you do the more likely that you'll jinx yourself and something will actually-"
And then as if on cue, multiple high power stage lights waiting within the darkness all of a sudden lite up. They had all wished for some form of light, yet the light shined down on them was too strong and blinded those who had just started to adjust to the darkness. When their eyes recovered from the temporary blindness what we saw left Komaru shocked and Shin, Drake and Sachi fearful and on high alert. What they found was not a subway station like what they were promised, but an oddly located modern makeshift coliseum that would fit right in place in a circus event.
The audience seats were completely filled up as of a great show was about to start, yet what filled those weren't adults, teens, or the elderly, but just kids. Just Monokuma Kids boys and girls alike jumping up and down and yelling in excitement. The ground floor was covered in dirt and not the cement of the city and on all sides of were tall steel cage walls separating Shin's group from the audience seats, but what wasn't fenced up was a single podium. It was then the main actor, or one of five antagonist made his appearance. Somersaulting from behind the podium and landing up front and center for all see was a single child.
Komaru: "W-What is this?"
Masaru: "Yay! Yay! Hahaha! You fell for my trap! I just knew that you'll head for the subway! Too bad, though! I saw right through you! I’m the excellent leader of the Soldiers of Hope, "Li’l Ultimate P.E", the Hero Masaru Daimon! Of course you can't escape on my watch! I was even given a secret weapon by Monaca!"
Shin looked at the red haired kid who had made such a grand appearance and calmly recalled what he knew about him.
Masaru Daimon.
Masaru Daimon is a character featured in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls like Komaru Naegi, but is one of the antagonist. Masaru is the "fake" leader of the Warriors of Hope, in charge of the "Hero" Class. He has the title of Li'l Ultimate P.E from his time in the attached elementary school to Hope's Peak Academy.
Masaru is a cheerful, hot-headed showoff and seems to be the one who has a straight forward outlook on life. He is extremely energetic and constantly brags about his role as the Hero and leader of the Warriors of Hope, despite the circumstances of how he became "leader" (by winning in Rock, Paper, Scissors). He has been described as "bratty" and an "idiot". He loves praise and fame. He refers to himself using orecchi, a form of the Japanese pronoun ore, which can be rude depending on its context but is often used when a speaker wants to assert a feeling of superiority. However, he is always very considerate and respectful towards Monaca.
Although Masaru is childish and arrogant, and very focused on becoming the ruler of Towa City and children's paradise, he is shown to genuinely care about the people he leads. He wants to make sure that the kids won't need to feel afraid anymore and he forces himself to be brave for them. He takes his role as the "Hero" very seriously and works hard to live up to certain hero tropes, like being fearless and never losing. Though he usually appears very cheerful and brave, he can get very upset and break down crying if he is reminded of his abusive past.
Prior to the Tragedy Masaru was born and raised in Towa City. He was a child prodigy known as a sports legend, and his strong point was any physical activity. He could run a 365-day race in only 24 hours (as stated by himself). Masaru also lived with his alcoholic father, who was verbally and physically abusive towards him for the smallest of reasons (for example, if Masaru coughed while the father smoked) and constantly forced his son to help supply his drinking habit. Masaru, of course, couldn't buy anything due to his age and he would repeatedly have to steal in order to do this. This made his father even angrier because it humiliated him and made him look bad in the eyes of the police.
According to his father, the physical abuse was "teaching of manners". Every time he was physically abused, Masaru forced a smile so his father wouldn't hate him. However, the father hated the smiling and considered his son abnormal and defective for it. Due to his upbringing, Masaru believed that everything was his fault because he couldn't do things properly like his father wanted and he was sorry for making his father look like "the bad guy". He was really afraid that his father would abandon him and stop being his dad.
Masaru was also a part of Hope's Peak Elementary School. He was on the class of troublemakers along with Monaca Towa, Jataro Kemuri, Kotoko Utsugi and Nagisa Shingetsu. Although Masaru was on the verge of committing suicide along with the other four kids, Junko Enoshima appeared and convinced the children that the adults were wrong and that they should create a paradise for children. Masaru murdered his parents shortly after, and did not regret it.
After he lost his fight against Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa, Masaru was dragged to his execution by Monokuma Kids in chapter 1, but somehow survived and was seen with the other Warriors of Hope's members at the end of the game. Shin recalling everything he knew wasn't shocked at all by these turns of events, but what did was another person's presence. Walking up slowly from behind and now standing in wait behind Masaru was a short teenage girl of sixteen years of age. The left side of her face was covered by the black half of a Monokuma mask and the visible side of her face that Shin had always found youthful and cute was now expressionless. This young girl wearing the the Monokuma Mask was one of the women Shin cared for and loved most in this world, Hikari.
Shin: "...Hikari?"
Masaru: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't use your demonic eyes to look at the present Monaca gave to me... but since you've already have let me introduce her to you. Hacker Monokuma! She was once a soon to be Demon like you, but now she's been purified and converted into a Monokuma with the power to scan areas and strengthen others with the power of hacking... is what Monaca told me."
Hacker Momokuma: "..."
Hikari, or by her new name Hacker Monokuma she just stood there silently as Massaru continued to praise her as if she was a new toy given to him by his boyhood crush. From how Shin saw it Hikari despite being a Psyche Force user herself was still under Izuru Kamakura's brainwashing and showed no emotion or signs of struggle as she saw Shin down below. She was basically a zombie from H.O.T.D at this point, but her new master didn't seem to care or notice the abnormality. Masaru continued to praise her, but in his eyes you could still see a glimmer of hatred and disgust buried underneath. He thought of Hacker Monokuma as a useful tool, but she was still a soon to be Demon in his eyes.
Masaru: "Anyways, you’re not going anywhere, Demons! Prepare yourself!"
Sachi: "What a stupid looking brat."
Komaru: "Guys... H-He’s one of the kids that put this bracelet around my neck."
Masaru: "Hey! Don’t make me out to be a small fry by saying “one of them”! I’m the leader of the Warriors of Hope! Masaru Daimon! I’m not like those adult leaders that hide behind others like cowards. I’m a leader that stands on the front line, braver than anyone else, pulling along my allies and underlings… I’m the great Hero Masaru Daimon! Ehehehehe! That’s right. I’m so reliable and cool I just can't stand it!"
Drake: "What a stupid kid. Reminds me of those privileged guys who thought they had it made just because they were connected to Absolute Reckoning."
Sachi: "He's still crazy though."
Shin: "Don't think about it too much. He has his reasons, but they're not important. Just know that he has a real hate for adults and soon to be adults."
Masaru: "Yeah, that’s right. You adults are Demons. The enemy of us kids. That’s why the Soldiers of Hope and I are going to hunt you evil Demons down until not even one is left and then turn this city into a peaceful paradise just for kids!"
In then the sound of applauds from the Monokuma Kids he showed us exactly how serious he was. Underneath the stage where he and Hikari were standing on top of a hidden storage room door opened and it's *connects* spilled out for all to see. Shin's group was left speechless. Even Shin who knew beforehand what Masaru had done to the previous contestants of his Demon Hunting Game he's hunted down... was left sick to his stomach at the reality before him.
Nothing in the real world or anything else in God's Dimension to date had prepared him for this... for that. A lump of flesh. Piled high on top of each other as they spilled out of their storage container were an untold number of bodies one would be too scared to dare count. Young adult, middle age and the elderly. It didn't matter. No one was spared from Masaru's wrath as he killed every adult he came across in his sick game and with no respect for them even in death he just packed them into under the stage of the coliseum to clean up the mess.
Komaru: "...Wh-What is that?"
Masaru: Oh, come on! Can’t you tell by looking?! These are all the Demons I’ve hunted! Heheheh! How’s that, isn’t it awesome?! It’s a hundred million billion perfect score!"
Komaru: "How... how cruel. How could you..."
Masaru: "...These guys... just because they gave birth to us and raised us a little, these Demons think they can control everyone in this audience. No more! I, the Hero, am going to hunt them all down and set everyone free!
Komaru: "...H-How are you able to do this? You all are going to become adults someday even then, you’re doing this."
Masaru: "I’m not going to become a damn adult!! I promised the Warriors of Hope. I promised Monaca that if I'm going to become a dirty, ugly, disgusting Demon, then I might as well kill myself and die as a kid! Everyone is grateful to me... I’m everyone’s hero. If I hunt down every last Demon... everyone will be at ease... they won’t have to live in fear of their senseless violence!! *SOB*... I’m… not afraid… uuugh... I’m... not ... scared at all. There’s no way I’m scared of pain, or the dark, of frightening things, of the smell of booze, of pain I’m… not scared of them anymore… no matter how many times you hit me... hit me... hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me, I'm not scared anymore… I’m not-"
https://youtu.be/mYIywha0Ows
And then he snapped. Due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father his true nature had become a nervous and cowardly kid as he began to shake with fear having recalled his previous abuse. For Masaru, the so called leader of the Warriors of Hope such a display of weakness was unforgivable and he began to strike his left arm that refused to stop shocking. Komaru then pleaded for Masaru to stop hurting himself, but her voice could not Hope to reach him as he kept yelling at his arm to stop trembling as he continued to hit it. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again till his left arm had turned blue from the self-inflicted bruises.
And then in his mad fit of rage and fear he even dared to strike Hikari as well by kicking her till she fell down to the floor. Hikari had gone through enhancements, so she wasn't seriously hurt just from getting repeatedly kicked by a small child... yet all the same Shin was furious as he gritted his teeth till a streak of blood escaped his mouth. It was unforgivable for anyone, child or adult, traumatized or not, to dare lay a hand on Hikari like that and the only thing stopping Shin from running over to tear Masaru apart was the negative 50,000 Point penalty for doing so.
Masaru: "I-It finally... It finally listened to me. Ha... Hahaha... Hahahahahahaha!!!"
Masaru was able to regain his senses after his arm stopped shaking having been struck a countless number of times, but he was not calm or sane in the least. He didn't notice it, but now the rest of his body was shaking in fear. The fear of being hurt and hurting others that he desperately tried to keep buried underneath the surface had risen and taken control. All that stood before Shin and the others now... was a broken child.
Komaru: "Stop it already! Please, please stop... We're not Demons! We won't do anything to hurt you guys, so please!"
Shin: "...Komaru, save your breath. He and his friends are done for. These kids have completely lost it and are certifiably insane. Talking to him isn't going to accomplish a single thing. They've long since lost respect for both life and death, and combined with whatever they've been through... they've stopped being humans and have become the demons they feared to protect themselves from further harm."
Komaru: "..."
Masaru: "You guys, you... Half of you may still not be... true Demons yet... you're as good as Demons at this point. You're going to become Demons, I can tell... and that's why I have to defeat you now, before you turn into one!"
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
- *SNAP*!
And like so the battle began. Masaru snapped his fingers and thrown from the crowd of Monokuma Kids in the audience seats towards him was a metal object. Shin seeing this halfheartedly took out his Auto 9 and unleashed a barrage of bullets to destroy it, but the bullets that he had even strengthened with Ki impacting the objects helplessly bounced off as a transparent barrier covered and protected the object from all harm. Masaru then caught this metal object, resembling a large robot controller device and the transparent barrier spread to cover his body and Hikari as well.
Shin: (So I can't stop this boss battle unless I kill the Warriors of Hope before the battle begins. This means even in the most dire of circumstances I'm not allowed to take them out by accepting the 50,000 Point Penalty. Damm, I should have at least taken out Hikari before it was too late.)
Shin coming to this conclusion could only watch as the boss battle of chapter one of the games began. Masaru pressed a red button on the robot controller and immediately following this action the entries floor shock as if an earthquake had hit. Seconds later coming from beneath the earth a metal object, a drill stabbed through to the surface and quickly emerging was a large humanoid robot. This robot was not of a Monokuma design, but one right out of a live action show. A white humanoid robot over 20 feet tall and ten feet wide, with a trident shaped headpiece, a large shield on its back, drill for hands, shield attached forearm, bright pink eyes filled with power, and a Monokuma chest piece stood before them.
Masaru: "Watch me, everyone! The leader of the Warriors of Hope! The Hero! Is going to defeat these wimpy Demons in no time at all!"
Masarru addressed the Monokuma Kids in the crowd and they went wild with excitement. All too soon an oppressive aura filled the space of the colosseum. Drake and Sachi fared well despite feeling that they would have to rely on Shin during this battle, but Komaru looked like she just wanted to run away in the face of the giant robot. Komaru truly didn't know what to do and had to be reminded by Shin that her Megaphone Hacking Gun should work on the machine before them. Komaru with somewhat renewed Hope drew the gun from behind her back and looked at it though doubtfully.
Komaru: "W-with this we have a chance?"
Shin: "We'll be fine... right?"
Komaru: "Why don't you sound sure!?"
Shin: "Well, I'll figure something out, so... run first!"
Masaru: "Gooooo! Hero Robot, Mark Guyver! Stomp all over those filthy Demons!!!"
Operated by Masaru Mark Guyver immediately charged forward not waiting a second longer. With its left arm shied it protected its weak point as it rushed forward. Komaru, Drake, and Sachi ran to evade the incoming threat, but Shin alone stood his ground. From the two Na Rings Shin retrieved two sci-fi weapons and opened fire. The continuously firing Auto 9 and the more powerful Devil Sealed Gun. Bullets from both handguns stuck Mark Guyver as it approached, but bounced off its armor leaving only small dents. Shin continued to test for various weakness of the hero robot, yet all his bullets were easily reflected away.
Masaru rejoiced how Shin's attack failed and ordered Mark Guyver to being the attack. Mark Guyver started up its right hand drill and revved into a spin. Faster and faster Mark Guyver became just a blur as it span so fast that it had become a small tornado approaching Shin. He felt himself being dragged forward by the tornado and jumped far back to the coliseum fence using Instant Movement narrowly avoiding the tornado. Mark Guyver didn't stop and gave pursuit, but came to a crash as Shin once more jumped and ran on top of the steel fence and missing it target crashed into the fence.
Mark Guyver took a step back and looked around for it target and spotted Shin to its left running on top of the fence not having once stopped firing and Komaru and the others to the right. It a split second for it to then come to the conclusion to first get rid of Komaru, Drake, and Sachi. Shin was the bigger threat, so needing it's full attention for him chose to quickly dispose of them. Mark Guyver jumped and landed directly before Komaru and co as it raised its left hand drill to stab down.
Masaru: "Take this! Super Piercing Drill Punch!!!"
- *CONTINOUS FIRE*!
The left hand drill spun madly as it stabbed pierced into the earth, but it had missed its target. From the side a barrage of bullets from the M41A-M Pulse Rifle collided with Mark Guyver's left arm veering it off course by a few meters.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Shin: "Now Komaru! Fire!"
Komaru: "Ah, Ye-yes!"
Shin continued to fire at Mark Guyver with the Pulse Rifle as he shouted for Komaru to attack. Komaru standing directly under the hero robot raised the Megaphone Hacking Gun set for BREAK Bullets and fired. A blue bullet struck the exposed Monokuma chest piece and the impact forced it to take a large step back. Seeing this Komaru continued to fire BREAK Bullets at the exposed weak point and with each hit the hero robot stumbled backwards sparks of electricity began to escape. Both Komaru and Masaru himself were shocked that compared to Shin's powerful Sci-fi weapons that were being repelled, the Megaphone Hacking Gun was causing massive damage to Mark Guyver.
Masaru: "Wh-What's with that gun? Where did you get that!? That's cheating! Mark Guyver!"
Not taking it well that Mark Guyver had just become a punching bag for Komaru and her Hacking Gun, Masaru gave a direct order for the hero robot to first kill her. Mark Guyver once more raised its shield to protect its chest piece and rushed forward towards Komaru, but Sachi wouldn't have that. She separated herself from the other and with amazing speed reached the hero robot's side armed and ready with her specialty needles. Ten needles were held between the fingers of her hands were great tools for her to kill humans and living organisms, but for a robot able to deflect bullets from sci-fi weapons they wouldn't even leave a dent, but direct damage was not her aim. With a wave of Sachi's hands the ten needles flew through the air and with pinpoint accuracy stabbed into the joins of Mark Guyver left foot. The ten needles were thin, but strong enough to not immediately snapped or bend as the hero robot fell forward face first.
Sachi: "Haha, I wonder if robots can at least scream from embarrassment?"
Sachi laughed at the stupid robot before her lying on the floor, and as if it was actually furious Mark Guyver glared at her as it tried to get back up... but even that was not allowed as a great impact struck its back and smashing it back down to the floor. Shin jumped from the fence of the coliseum and stomped hard on top of the hero robot. Then not letting this perfect chance go he pointed the pulse rifle at the back of Mark Guyver and fired at extreme close range. The pulse rifle with infinite ammo without once needing to reload smashed into the hero robot's back. From a distance all the bullets fired merely left dents, but at such a range small bullet holes were stabbing through its armor and wreaking havoc inside.
Masaku: "You... You Demons! Hacker Monokuma!!!"
Shin: "!!!"
Shin turned around hearing the enemy address Hikari and a wave of danger washing over him forced him into Unlocked Mode. The silent Hikari, or Hacker Monokuma finally given a command stepped forward and raised her right hand towards the struggling Mark Guyver Shin was standing atop of. The blue light of Mana surfaced empowering her entire being and soon that light gathered towards her fingertips as a blinding light of magic power... and then at last Hacker Monokuma Spoke.
Hacker Monokuma: "...Wind Spirit(×3)! Water Spirit(×3) ! Lightning Spirit(×3)! Fire Spirit(×3)! Earth Spirit(×3)! Brave Heart(×3)! Sword Dance of the Valkyrie(×3)! Blessings of the Saint(×3)!"
Hacker Monokuma entered Unlcoked Mode as she called out her eight spell names and a rainbow of light enveloped her right hand. The target of her spells was Mark Guyver and resonating with her the hero robot glowed with the same rainbow of colors as Hacker Monokuma as it was enhanced with eight power magic buff spells that she is renowned for. Those spells are the following:
◆ Wind Spirit Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's speed temporarily by a 30% of the individuals standard.
◆ Lighting Spirit Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's stamina temporarily by 30% of the individuals standard.
◆ Fire Spirit Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's damage temporarily by 30% of the individuals standard.
◆ Earth Spirit Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's defense temporarily by 30% of the individuals standard.
◆ Water Spirit Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's natural healing speed temporarily by 150% of the individuals standard.
◆ Brave Heart Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's willpower and resistance against Negative Aliments and mind control. Additionally stamina is temporarily increased by 75% of the individual’s standard.
◆ Sword Dance of the Valkyrie Buff - A magic spell that temporarily raises the selected target's Muscle Density and damage inflicted to enemies by 50% of the individuals standard. Decrease damaged inflicted to the target by 10%.
◆ Blessings of the Saint Buff - A magic spell that raises the selected target's resistance against mental attacks, poisons, and a small heal is applied. An aura of Faith Energy is applied to protect the user from dark forces.
Each spell was cast and then casted an additional two times for three layers of magic buffs and in addition her B tier Advance Mana Control increased their amazing effects even more. With B tier Mana the effects of the buffs are multiplied by five even before they are stacked.
Her four weakest spells that raised the selected target's offensive power, stamina, speed and defense by 30%, were 150% of the individuals standards, and stacked three times was now 450%. The 150% healing factor boost from Water Spirit Buff is now 750%, and stacked three times 2,250% of the individuals standard.
Brave Heart Buff that raises the selected target's stamina is by 75%, now 375%, is now 1,125% of the individual’s standard when stacked three times. Sword Dance of the Valkyrie Buff that raises the selected target's Muscle Density and damage inflicted to enemies by 50%, now 750% of the individuals standard and damaged inflicted to the target is now decreased by30% (Decreased damage wouldn't go higher). Blessings of the Saint Buff that raises the selected target's resistance against mental attacks, poisons, and the effects of Small Heal are further increased as well.
Mark Guyver as if reborn with even greater power swiftly stood back up flinging Shin off its back. Shin landed safely in spite of the abrupt change in the enemy, but he was not relived in the slightest. For one the M41A-M Pulse Rifle fell out of his hands when he fell off and the second... still in Unlocked Mode, just looking at the enemy before him he could tell that this enemy was no longer the clumsy machine it had once been. The rainbow veil of magic power around Mark Guyver reinforcing the robot allowed it's power to reach new heights and the 2,250% healing factor increase was even slowly restoring the inanimate body to near perfect condition by the second.
Masaru: "Go Mark Guyver. Tear a new hole into those demons!"
Given the command, Mark Guyver with never before seen speed rushed across the coliseum floor towards Shin. In the blink of an eye the hero robot was right before Shin and already stabbing downward with a drill attack. Shin hastily drew Gravity Blade from a Na Ring releasing a savage slash reinforced by Ki to meet the drill... yet he was completely overpowered and blown away. He avoided a direct hit, but the force blew him back and tumbling across the floor uncontrollably. Shin finally came to a stop by stabbing Gravity Blaze into the earth, yet the enemy wasn't waiting for him to recover.
Masaru: "Take this! Continuous Hyper Piercing Drill Full Burst!!!"
Unbecoming of its large stature Mark Guyver swiftly moved and hovered over Shin and stabbed down with its left hand drill. Shin dived to the side with Instant Movement, but so did the hero robot follow after him to deliver a right hand drill punch. Shin jumped once more, but only just barely avoiding the drill that dug effortlessly into the ground like it was made from butter. This back and forth continued without end. With no time to use Instant Movement or Void Movement to escape drill punch after drill punch followed Shin as he kept diving away. Shin was in a frenzy just to escape death to survive to the next second that he didn't know what was going on. All he could see was the gold of the enemy drill and the dirt dug up with each attack... so he missed how he was saved by a comrade.
Feeling the need to step up at last and then leaving Komaru in the capable hands of Sachi, Drake ran forward and picked up a weapon that Shin had dropped. The M41A-M Pulse Rifle. Drake was not too experienced with weapons as he trained most of his life as a priest, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to use one... or that was all he could do. As Drake raised the muzzle of the pulse rifle at Mark Guyver, unaware of the looming threat as it was full occupied with the task of trying to kill Shin, Drake opened fire at the hero robot while simultaneously activating his spell.
Weight of Sins.
The light of Faith Energy swallowed up Mark Guyver and had its incredible newfound speed slowed down some. The hero robot had some protection against dark forces, but not against its opposite in something like Faith Energy. Then in addition a hailstorm of bullets from the M41A-M pierced into the back of the enemy and a small explosion erupted. Lying on the floor of the colosseum covered in dirt and exhausted was Shin. Just moments before he was dodging for his life and didn't know what was going on, but he sensed a opportunity now that Mark Guyver had paused in its attack.
Shin stood back up with renewed vigor and entered the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode. The muscles in his arms and legs expanded three times their normal bestowing him far greater power and speed than before as he gripped the katana in his hands tightly. His eyes veered towards the left arm of the enemy. With his aim set Shin jumped forward towards the enemy with Instant Movement and not a second later then jumped into the air with Void Movement for double acceleration.... and all that Mark Guyver saw in that split second was a blur passing by as it's left drill arm was cleanly cut off.
Masaru: "Mark Guyver!"
Shin: "Hell yeah! Also, damn you Hikari! Why are you only now displaying such OP power in battle!? Help your future husband out!"
Hacker Monokuma: "..."
Shin was upset how Hikari eight magic buff spells had turned a relatively easy opponent once you got used to fighting it into a true killing machine, but not getting his hoped for insult like normal from her Shin returned to the battle at hand. Mark Guyver had suffered terrible damage, but the battle was not over, but it might as well been at this point from his prospective. From three sides attack after attack from Drake and the M41A-M, Komaru and the Hacking Gun, and Shin once more taking out the Auto 9 and Devil Sealed Gun hammered into the enemy robot, and it's situation then got worse.
Devil Sealed Gun: "Ohh! It hit! It hit! Hehehe, how is it? Spectacular?"
Shin: "Shut it! I would throw you away if only you weren't so useful."
Devil Sealed Gun.
The 3% chance of activating special effect of his newest Sci-fi weapon with an additional magic attribute took effect. A dark phantom like specter slowly appeared out of thin hair and giving a ghoulish laugh took ahold of Mark Guyver. The hero robot shuddered showing that the curse that surfaced this time was a moment speed debuff. This added on top of Drakes Weight of Sin spell greatly hindered the movements of the enemy. Komaru saw her chance and so while everyone kept firing at Mark Guyver with their respective weapons she aimed the laser of the Hacking Gun at the Monokuma chest piece of the robot and let lose a pink bullet.
The DANCE Bullet struck Mark Guyver, but didn't show the intended effect, yet not giving up she continued to fire DANCE Bullets and after the third one hit the chest piece DANCE took effect. Unlike the game it took more than one bullet to activate DANCE on an enemy boss. Three DANCE Bullets would have to be delivered all within three seconds, so normally it would be impossible to achieve, but right now it's movement speed had slowed down enough for it to work. Team Japan paused seeing the ridiculous sight of the formidable enemy robot breaking out into a dance, but then immediately continued firing until-
- *BREAK*!!!
The Monokuma chest piece of Mark Guyver blew up and now revealed its blood red energy reactor. Now revealed once it’s destroyed it would be the end for the hero robot, and so-
Masaru: "No!!! Mark Guyver! Suicide Mode!"
Shin: "!!!"
Shin felt fear having heard words not mentioned within the original game and moments later his worries were proven right. From the exposed reactor core of Mark Guyver a deep blood red energy shot out and enveloped the hero robot. Moments ago the enemy robot was on its last leg and was weakened from multiple movement debuffs and damage suffered, yet all that was gone. Mark Guyver stood tall full of life and stronger than ever and the spells weakening it were repelled. This scene was not present in the original, but Shin was even more surprised by the existence of the deep blood red colored aura around Mark Guyver.
Shin wasn't sure of its true nature other than its malicious properties that could felt on one's skin in its presence, but he could tell one thing. That aura was a type of magic power. Like his own Ki, Aqua's Nen, Jin and Hikari's Mana, and even more sinister than Connor's Demonic Power, the deep blood red aura strengthening Mark Guyver was a type of magic energy that doesn't exist in the real world and most sci-fi universes. This energy should not have been in a world like Dangan Ronpa with low level sci-fi elements and even milder supernatural elements, but the truth was in the writing before Shin and the others. The source of energy for the reactor core of the enemy robot was actually of magic origins and this power was now out of control.
Shin: (This is the last stand. This pressure... it's just like when I use Spirit Wave. Combined with the name suicide it's safe to bet this is a short lived power.)
Shin's conclusion was correct, but he also knew something else. Till the reactor core of the enemy runs dry the enemy will be unstoppable similarly how he is when he uses Spirit Wave. Mark Guyver had yet to make a move, but its imposing figure was overwhelming everyone within the coliseum. This included Shin, Drake and Sachi. As for Komaru with the weakest spirit among them she lost it as she raised the Hacking Gun at the enemy. One after the other BREAK Bullets struck the enemy hero robot with the target being the exposed reactor core, yet before even touching the surface Mark Guyvers armor the electromagnetic bullets of the Megaphone Hacking Gun were repelled by its deep blood red aura.
This was a plot change and defensive measure of the mission so that Shin and his comrades couldn't solely rely Komaru. For the reminder of the battle her attacks would be ineffective and was no longer a threat to the enemy, yet she still provoked retaliation from the enemy. Mark Guyver didn't have much time left and decided that it's last target would be the previous second biggest threat Komaru. Drake and Sachi sensed the enemy’s intension and moved towards Komaru side to escape, but it was too late.
Masaru: "A hero... A hero never loses! Take this! Mega Drill Drive!"
Mark Guyver with its sights set on Komaru prepared it's final move. Mark Guyver's knees bent in preparation and as it kicked the ground to jump forward the earth beneath its feet exploded. The enemy charged at a speed Komaru, Drake, or Sachi couldn't hope to react to, but someone else did. Still in the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode Shin jumped forward with Instant Movement and once more Void Movement at his fastest speed. He felt like the world around him was trying to suppress him as the air became a thick wall to slow him down, yet with most difficulty he attempted to break through that wall to reach the enemy. It was a speed faster than the enemy and threatened to break his own neck. A speed that he had no control of and could only move in a straight line to intercept Mark Guyver, yet even this was saw through by the hero robot in its Suicide Mode.
Mark Guyver turned its waist impossible for humans as it was about to stab Komaru with its remaining right hand drill and redirected it atrack towards the approaching enemy. They were in a world of their own where no one else could move or affect the outcome of this battle. Mark Guyver channeled the deep blood red aura around its body the right hand drill to stab Shin with its strongest attack, and seeing this Shin prepared to face the enemy’s strongest attack with his strongest power with the preparations he made before he jumped. His ultimate technique that allowed to him match Razor for an instant and defeat Team Germany's leader Abigail in one on one combat.
From the core of his Ki, the navel, a light shined brightly and then all too quickly spreader throughout the body without exception, converting the normally green Ki into a stronger, higher tier of energy. A pale blue energy that was far stronger than the previous Ki. For a split second the powerful new Ki escaped as a storm of ruthless energy nearly uncontrollable now having new Ki from Black Heaven & Earth Technique, but as Shin approached Mark Guyver's Drill that storm of power retracted back into the body and was then channeled into the weapon in his hand, Gravity Blade. Now veiled in pale light blue energy Gravity Blade was swung with an increased weight slash to meet the enemy drill attack head on.
Shin: (Spirit Wave! Gravity Blade, Hundred Fold Slash!)
Shin's Gravity Blade reinforced by Spirit Wave with 1000 times its weight and Mark Guyver's drill strengthened by magic collided, and the result...
- *EXPLOSION*!!!

Well, I'm sure there was a smarter way for Shin to fight, but I was aiming for excitement rather than a easily win like always. This is still a 20 Man Mission and Shin needs death and struggle battles like this to evolve. He did come up with a double acceleration move using his two foot techniques and combined Spirit Wave with Gravity Blade, so it was worth it right? Dumb and reckless pays off! But seriously, I didn't mean to go all out for the first boss battle, so who knows if the next... FOUR will be able to live up to this one. Also, I've just been using increased weight slash recently as its simpler, but every 1 "Fold" is ten times the swords normal weight... I think, so let's go with that.
Also, for those following the originals translation I don't know if that ending predicted by Xuan about the Fifth Stage is true since there's a incomplete prequel and a ongoing sequel for Terror Infinity, but I won't have that kind of ending for Side B since it goes against the back story I've established in this fan fiction.
