Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 31, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Monaca: "...Huh? Monaca lost"

The battle between Team Japan and Monaca Towa was an anticlimactic one. Within one minute of the battle starting a conclusion had been reached, and it was all thanks the Hypothetical TV Quest Item. As Shin and his team entered the grand hall where the battle between Monaca and the heroes was supposed to take place within the airship Excalibur, they first spotted Kurokuma, the sibling of Shirokuma and second half of Alter Ego Junko. Kurokuma seeing them enter was prepared to go into a endless loop of pointless talking as per usual, yet they didn't allow this. Crossing the distance between them in a flash, Shin with Instant Movement drew out Gravity Blade feom the Na Ring and beheaded the robot. Kurokuma was in shock as its head separated from the rest of its body and not given any room to react he received a swift kick curtsy of Shin. Kurokuma's head was blown away and smashed through a window, falling off the airship and over the railing of Towa Hills. Shin's actions were were sudden and unprovoked, yet there was a point to it all.

Hypothetical TV revealed to Shin that stopping Kurokuma from combining with Monaca's super robot, Mage Robot Black Suspirian, decreased it's fighting potential by 70%. It was a simple conclusion to reach, but because almost all boss battles so far couldn't be done this way, attacking a member of the Warriors of Hope directly results in a 50,000 Point deduction, it became a habit to wait for the boss battle to begin before making one's move. Once a person realized how simple it was to just remove Kurokuma who had no fighting ability to speak of it was all too simple a matter to remove him from the battle field, but that was just on the surface. Shin kicked Kurokuma out of the airship and didn't directly destroy him for an important reason.

Hypothetical TV showed that killing Kurokuma rewarded 3000 Points and two D rank reward, but this came at a steep price not worth the rewards. A change in plot! Shirokuma would immediately take control of Big Bang Monokuma and attack Towa Hills and Excalibur. This attack was fierce and unrestrained and couldn't be called a battle. Big Bang Monokuma would focus on destroying the building with everyone inside rather than partake in a boss battle like in the game. Shin also wanted to deal with Aqua before confront Big Bang Monokuma, so he refrained from attacking Big Bang Monokuma and simply removed the pest from his sight and away from Monaca.

From here the boss battle was simple. Monaca made a grand appearance like in the game to show that she wasn't handicapped and immediately summoned Mage Robot Black Suspirian even though she didn't have Kurokuma, the core component of her robot. Mage Robot Black Suspirian's combat ability was originally very high, much higher than any of the other super robots if the Warriors of Hope and in a scenario shown by Hypothetical TV it could even withstand Shin's Spirit Wave/Gravity Blade attack, but without Kurokuma the super robot had a small lag time when Monaca inputted commands and it's most powerful weapons were left unusable. It was a one sided massacre where Team Japan attacked with everything they had, and without even needing Shin to use Spirit Wave, Monaca was defeated and her Mage Robot Black Suspirian destroyed, and along with its destruction came a notification from God that both the Side Quest and the completion of one half of the Main Mission.

Shin: (Well, that was almost too easy... not that Monaca actually cared if she won or not.... No, she would be troubled if we, Komaru died.)

Shin watched on with the others at Monaca crying over her loss. He knew better that those weren't real tears and she begged to not be killed and so was unmoved, yet not everyone around him could say the same. With the exception of Sachi who remained her cold indifference, despite being told the truth of Another Episode Komaru looked quite bothered by Monaca crying that she didn't want to be killed and so reassured her that they wouldn't hurt her. Drake as well couldn't stay unmoved by her crying and declared that he wouldn't allow anyone to harm her. Shin seeing this found this to be quite scary. Monaca was messed up in the head as a diehard fan of Junko Enoshima, but was very talented at moving others as she pleased. Shin couldn't help but applaud the Li'l Ultimate Homeroom, who had almost won over two of his comrades.

Shin: "Can you two stop fooling around. Also, Monaca, what you've done doesn't matter to me, so we won't kill you or bother you once we all get the Monokuma Controller, but there's something else that I need. Where is my comrade Aqua? She was supposed to be guarding you."

This was something Shin was most concerned about. From what he learned from Hypothetical TV, Aqua was supposed to be guarding Monaca. This was something that Jin confirmed as well before he left the Mission World. In the videos shown in that documentary, Aqua was supposed to be in the grand hall along with Monaca. She would silently wait in a corner of the room unless provoked. Aqua would only begin to move when Monaca sees that Komaru won't press the switch of the Monokuma Controller and calls on a army of Monokuma to force her hand. She would then send Aqua towards Shin, the strongest fighting potential within the team, so that wouldn't be able interfere.

That was what was supposed to happen and there were no scenario shown that said otherwise, so Shin was confused. He was now even considering the possibility of this scenario/present was missed to by Hypothetical TV. His question to it covered too much of today and tomorrow's events, so somethings were missed. It was then as Shin considered such a possibility that Monaca stopped crying and revealed a large smile that would win over any loli-con. Monaca stood up and gave the Monokuma Controller to Komaru just like in the original plot, yet instead of immediately trying to manipulate her into pushing it she turned towards Shin.

Monaca: "You said that you're looking for a "Aqua"? Do you mean say that you want a bottle of water by that brand? Ah, Monaca doesn't have any water on her for big brother here. Sorry, you seem much nicer than my real brother who got torn apart by the super robots on the first floor, but Monaca can't help you. Uuuu!"

Komaru: "Wait, what!"

Komaru was shocked about the news of Haiji's death, yet Monaca began to cry with fake tears as she ramble on about nonsense despite knowing exactly what Shin meant, which pissed him off. It wasn't that he didn't care about Haiji dying, but he had more pressing concerns at this time.

Shin: "Cut the crap! Where is Aqua! The red haired woman who you took control of along with the others!"

Monaca: "Sorry, but Monaca really doesn't know! She doesn't know any water brand name women! Monaca really doesn't... Ahl wait, could you mean Silver Monokuma? Her hair is red, but don't you think that's misleading character trait? Shouldn't her name be ruby or scarlet? Ah, the name silver originates from her super cool and fantasy like transform! It was so cool and so I named her Silver Monokuma! So fierce and dominating! That big sis is the best... but she's still second to big sister Junko."

Shin "Where is-"

Where is she... That was what Shin was about to ask for the third time now, but he was stopped mid sentence. The room grew colder and a feeling of dread swelled up inside him, yet this wasn't a perception of danger. This was a physical response from standing within her presence of Despair as Monaca's true face was revealed. Monaca's bright eye grew dark and her cheerful face grew rigid. Then there was a her smile. Monaca's smile turned crooked as she stared at Shin.

Monaca: "...Hm... So like the black suit man said she along with your other comrades are your weakness. I'm glad that I listened to him."

Shin: "What are you-"

Monaca: "Hey, big brother protagonist. I don't know where you all came from, but you're ruining everything that I've built up for the sake of the successor of Junko Enoshima. Don't you think you should but out of my affairs? Well, telling you this now is pointless, so let's make this clear. Go save your comrade, or allow her to die!"

Shin: "!!!"

Monaca's cold words gained everyone's full attention and she proudly announced her plan. She learned from *The man in a black suit* that Shin cared deeply for Silver Monokuma and would go to any links to save her, and so he sent her away to Towa Stadium, a sports venue ten miles away from Towa Hills. She also had the Monokuma Kids set a large amount of explosives underneath Towa Stadium's sewer tunnels. Once the explosives go off the entire area will sink and the venue will collapse in on its self.

Monaca: "So there you have it big brother protagonist! If you don't want your woman to be buried alive under a sports stadium, gasping for every last breath if she doesn't die instantly, cursing you as shes dies for abandoning her... you should get going and leave big sis Komaru to Monaca here! Ah, you also only have T minus... Fifteen minutes and forty-five seconds to save her!"

Shin's soul left his body once Monaca was done proudly telling him from the shock of it all. It was all so outside his predictions for today's events. Monaca's sudden plan couldn't have come about from any change of plot caused by Team Japan's actions.

Shin: (...Izuru Kamukura... The man in the back suit could only be you! Spying on me with Psyche Force... Was he watching me use the advantages of Hypothetical TV and think I was having too easily a time? Was it not enough that you've made me fight my comrades and my own women, but now you interfered again with the plot and at the same time threatened Aqua... If for no other reason than this I won't let you leave this world alive!)

Shin made that promise to himself and turned to the others. Komaru, Drake and Sachi looked on at Shin with worry as he showed a face consumed with rage in one moment and then a scary calmness the next.

Shin: "...Monaca Towa. You can show me where to go, right?"

Monaca: "Yes! Right here Monaca had placed a GPS tracker on Silver Monokuma and I can give you the phone that's tracking her position. Hurry up. You only have less than thirteen minutes left!"

Shin: "...Drake and Sachi. Take care of Komaru. I'll be back. And Komaru... I have to save some one important to me, but you're important to me as well even if we've just gotten together. I won't let anything happen to you, so can you trust me?"

Komaru: "Of course. Even if it was a lie you're still my Ultimate Protagonist. Don't worry and go already. I'm sorta a heroine as well, so I'll be okay."

Shin: "...Thank you. I'll be back!"

Shin felt relived to hear these words. He then turned towards Monaca with a smile she handed him an active phone pinpointing a location ten miles away. Shin took the phone wishing he could punch in her face that little girls face that was mocking him and started to run. He ran towards a windows of the grand hall and crashed through it and jumping out of Excalibur. He landed on the roof of Towa Hills and sprinted into the edge of the building and jumped through the air. Shin began to fall to the earth below and to stop his descent kicked the air and flew through the air with Void Movement following the phone Monaca handed him. Shin took one last look back at Towa Hills and the airship Excalibur, but resolved to save Aqua he shot through the air as fast as possible.

With each step of Void Movement Shin kicked the air and traveled tens of meters with each jump passing over dozens of building. Now that the lasers installed on Towa Hill's rooftop were disabled he was able to make great use of his ability to fly over the obstacles of the city which hindered him all this time. Shin had also entered the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode to endure the stress to the body that came with Void Movement and moved over greater distances at the same time. Shin followed the GPS Tracker and as Monaca said Towa Stadium was indeed ten miles away from Towa Hills, yet his moment speed and ability to fly over buildings and roads enabled him to reach the sports venue in less than than give minutes. Shin landed on top of the Towa Stadium, a indoors sports venue, and rolled around the floor in pain. The stress from the Second Stage and continuous Void Instant Movements wreaked havoc on his legs and we're red and swollen. Shin's mutation couldn't heal this type of injury and so he channeled Ki and circulated the energy throughout his legs to relive the pain as best he could. The pain was far from gone, yet as he endured it as he rushed forward into Towa Stadium from the rooftop exit.

As Shin ran through stair well and halls of Towa Hills he spotted countless time bombs set placed throughout the building. It was just like Monaca said, no it was worse than she let on. Shin could disable one hundred time bombs and still miss the majority of them. Some of them might have even been decoys to trip him up. Then there were the explosive within the sewers underneath Towa Stadium, and together it was too much for ten or even a hundred explosive experts to handle in the next ten or so minutes, much less the lone amateur at bomb dismantling. He could only swiftly defeat Aqua and escape, but he didn't have such a optimistic prediction of their battle. Aqua was powerful and the most experienced member of Team Japan. Shin may be the leader, yet he had never once believed that he was stronger than her. Within Team Japan he was under the belief that he was the closest to her in ability, yet even he wasn't sure just exactly how much stronger she was than him.

Shin: (Aqua and I have both have high level of enhancements and weapons. We've also both reached the Second Stage of the Genetic Constraint. On paper we sound like equals, but the truth is far from that optimistic view. I'm a versatile fighter better suited for extended battles while she is pure close range for the most part and her stats are higher. Her enhancements are also more power based. A tier Elder Werewolf Bloodline, B tier Wolverine Mutation, and B tier Upper Class Nen Whole Body Enhancement. In a direct clash I'll lose in a punching in match. Worst of all, Aqua didn't think that there will be any magic type enemies, so she didn't hand over her magic gun. That gun is frightening dangerous for those with special energies like my Ki. Lastly, she has her transformations... Fuck!)

Shin didn't have a good outlook on the battle. Hypothetical TV did indeed show him fighting Aqua, but the few times he had won were due to him barley holding his ground and getting lucky and stabbing her in the heart with Holy Sword Switch. It was a surefire method to win over Aqua, yet Shin couldn't picture the image of him overcoming her in battle. Aqua was his idol and more than that the woman he loved, his first love, so he didn't wish to hurt her despite knowing it was to save her. It pained him earlier to hurt Kisara in there battle on top of the speeding train and he didn't want to go through that again.

Shin: "...But this fucking Guide isn't going to allow me this, right!? Fuck!)

Shin couldn't help but curse as he ran through the halls at top speed looking for Aqua throughout Towa Stadium and finally out into the main stadium. He looked around and found that he exited the halls and was now in the stadium stands of what appeared to be a soccer field. He didn't notice it at first as he was not in a mood to care, but Towa City had quite the state of the art facility. The stadium seats were on the higher end of comfort with cushioned seats, various snack stands lined up the walls near the seats for the convince of fans watching games, and the field itself was in pristine condition. If not for recent events and they decided to hold the world cup for soccer here at Towa Stadium no one would dare say that they weren't well equipped enough.

Shin took in his surroundings nervous of the time remaining till the explosives go off and then then found her. Standing in the middle of the well kept green grass of the soccer field was a woman with red hair. Her body showed her off as a youthful and feminine woman in her early twenties with all the right proportions, but underneath that was a strong and tempered body surpassing top athletes and mortal men. Covering the left side of her of face and running her good looks with its ugly appearance was a the black half of a Monokuma mask. Once Shin confirmed it was Aqua, Silver Monokuma, he immediately jumped down to the grass field to reach her. Silver Monokuma turned her head and saw him approach and raised a large handgun, aimed, and opened fire.

- *BANG*!

Shin Vs Aqua! It's the destined confrontation. Were taking bets to see he who will win in the end. Also, I've gotten rid of the area of effect mode of her magic spell. I still like it, but I never had a chance to use it, so I'm getting rid of that option and keeping it just as a charged moon beam.
