Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 33, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Kotoko: "And that's what going on, bis sis's follower. I was hiding in the shadows waiting for a chance to steal the Monokuma Controller when I saw you leave. After you left that traitor to the Warriors of Hope, Monaca, she kept trying to convince big sis Komaru to destroy the controller! The bitch, she was wasn't even trying to hide the fact anymore that she wanted her to do just that, but Komaru refused of course. Even when Monaca showed her a video of her parents being hanged... she only cried a little and said she had already prepared herself for such a conclusion and declared that she wouldn't lose to Despair, all heroine like. Ah, her tears sparked as she said this and she radiated a light of Hope that wouldn't lose to her shitty brother who killed big sis Junko!!!... Anyways, Monaca got fed up that even this didn't work and she resorted to a hidden mini controller to call on all the Monokuma in Towa City Towards Towa Hills and breech the airship Excalibur to force her hand. Monaca said that if Komaru doesn't destroy the Monokuma Controller everyone on board the airship, including tank top man, big sis Sachi, and the two of them will be killed. Hm, you would have loved what happened next Sachi's follower. Tank top man and big sis Komaru held off the initial wave of Monokuma while big sis Sachi was all warrior heroine like as she forced her way through the halls of the airship and took over the cockpit of Excalibur! She then smashed a few things, took out a bunch of wires, and hit wired the whole thing and flew off just as Monokuma filled up Towa Hills and were about to board Excalibur! Ah! My big sis Sachi is so cool and cold I would have fallen for her if I was a boy... not that I would want to be such a disgusting creature that only think with their lower half even for little kids!!!... Ah, anyways, things looked good from there. Only the Destroy Monokuma could follow Excalibur in the air and tank top man and big sis Komaru shot them down as they approached. Hahaha! Even that traitor Monaca had to admit her defeat there not expecting for you guys to go so off script as to steal the Excalibur like you did."

Shin listened to Kotoko Utsugi's tale as they flew through the city on top of the shoulders of her hero robot, Fighter Robot Highlander the Great. He had a lot to ask about how his team was faring in his absence, and was left speechless at their actions. He wondered what led up to the idea of stealing Excalibur, but was more concerned with how Komaru was doing. Kotoko made her sound like a heroine overcoming Despair, but Shin knew better. Despite her status as a heroine of Dangan Ronpa Another Episode, she herself was a regular girl. Seeing her parents die like that, even when she heard as much from Shin, couldn't have been a nice thing to see.

Shin: "...That was epic to say the least (I wish Sachi would have told me that she she can just fucking steal the airship!) and that's why we changed direction and not going back to Towa Hills. Can't get mad at them when I had to leave them on their own. Hey, can we speed up? I want to see how Komaru and the others are faring. Also, Kotoko, I'm not Sachi's follower! I'm the Ultimate Protagonist!"

Kotoko: "Yes yes. Whatever you say. Ah, we probably should be returning as fast as possible like you suggested. They are in danger of crashing after all."

Shin: "...What?"

Kotoko: What? Did I forget to tell you? Well, after finishing off the Destroy Monokuma and things began to look up a laser beam hit the side of Excalibur! The airship was lucky sturdy enough to survive the hit, but that was the least of our worries. As it turned out... The Resistance's Big Bang Monokuma began to give chase to the Excalibur and attacked us from below on the surface. Big sis Sachi and the others didn't believe that they could hold on for long and are just circling Towa City in the airship trying to lose Big Bang Monokuma, but like a BOSS, it just destroys everything in it'd path as it chase the airship! Sachi then called out to me knowing I was there all along to come get you betting that I still had my super robot. I did in fact bring it along in case I needed to make a escape after getting the Monokuma Controller, but for bug sis Sachi I was okay with using it to pick up her follower in-"

Shin: "Hey! Enough recap and speed this thing up! We have to save the others!"

Kotoko: "Okay okay. I was going to do that anyways. Let's go, Highlander!"

Kotoko issued her robot a new command to her robot to speed up and it flew through the skies of Towa City at incredible speeds surpassing helicopters and the like. Two minutes later Shin's superior vision spotted their target in the distance. Leaving a black trail of smoke as it flew over Towa City was the Excalibur carrying his comrades, and giving chase to it on land was the giant killer robot, Big Bang Monokuma! With Haiji's death, the only person, the only things capable of controlling it was Shirokuma and Kurokuma, together making the deadly computer A.I, Alter Ego Junko Enoshima, was attempting to try and kill Shin's group for the sake of further Despair. In the original plot she took over Big Bang Monokuma to cause further confusion to Towa City by trying to kill the leaders of both sides, but now Shin could only imagine that she wanted to just kill them for the hell of it.

Shin: (A woman who doesn't need a reason to cause Despair, because that's who she is. Someone who only exist to fill others with Despair. Someone who would give traumatized little kids the idea to kill their parents ans all the adults in the city they were born in which also ignored their pleas for help, with a smile on her face. Someone who gets turned on as she remembers the mass suicide of thousands of humans that she caused. She doesn't yearn for any kind of future. She just fills every person she runs into with Despair. For her, Despair is not a goal, a set of principles, a lifestyle, or even a instinct. It's just what defines her as herself. Her characterization in a word and it is what allows her to pursue Despair with purity of heart because it's meaningless and has nothing to do with herself other than the fact it brings her joy. That's True Ultimate Despair, Junko Enoshima. Really, what a nasty thing that I'm up against.)

Shin thought this as they finally caught up their goals. Less than 1000 meters away and chasing after the airship was Big Bang Monokuma, and about 2-3000 meters in the air and losing altitude by the second and heavily damaged was the Excalibur. Shin momentarily despaired at the thought of the airship crashing to the streets of Towa City, but then this gave him a idea to turn the situation around.

Shin: "Kotoko! Drop me near Big Bang Monokuma and go ahead to the Excalibur. I'll distract Big Bang Monokuma, so tell Sachi to turn the airship around and crash it into Big Bang Monokuma! Make sure everyone escapes, and then come back to me with Komaru. I need her to finish off Big Bang Monokuma."

Kotoko: "Okay!"

Kotoko did as Shin asked and had Highlander the Great fly closer to Big Bang Monokuma. Shin saw his chance and jumped off and landed on top of a building right as Big Bang Monokuma passed by. Big Bang Monokuma saw both Shin and Kotoko out the corner of its eye, and seeing Kotoko immediately fly off on her robot she set her sights on Shin and without warning attacked. Big Bang Monokuma raised its long staff and smashed it down on the building he was standing on top of. Shin jumped to the side with Instant Movement, but the force of the staff coming down completely blew him off the roof. He was now falling towards the streets below, yet he kicked air with Void Movement to soften his landing and towards a dark alley where he began to run through at full speed.

Shin: (Fuck, what power! Even if its attacks don't directly land the passing wind can carry me off my feet and into the sky! This is a whole other kind of overwhelming power than Aqua's!)

Till Komaru arrives Shin had no plans to directly clash with the giant ronot and at most planned to attack from a distance to keep its attention on himself. If Big Bang Monokuma would lose interest in him as he ran away he would show himself and attack, yet he didn't have to worry about that. Big Bang Monokuma's observation senses included X ray vision and thermal detection, and so never lost sight of him and gave chase. Shin ran through the streets and back alleys of Towa City, but the giant robot not bothering with finding a wide open street simply ran through and toppled everything in its path and soon caught up to him. Shin legs moved faster and was making more of a effort, but Big Bang Monokuma's giant size took it hundreds of meters with each new step it took and its power allowed it to bulldoze building as it moved.

Soon enough Shin was directly in front of Big Bang Monokuma and to avoid being stepped on shot forward with continuous Instant Movements. Not wanting to let him get away Big Bang Monokuma raised its staff and from the jewel tip glowing brightly, out of thin air over a hundred floating Monokuma Bombs appeared. Shin hadn't seen this attack before, but it was a move from the Jataro robot who he had instantly killed days ago. The floating Monokuma Balls floated towards Shin. At first it was slow, but gradually hidden rockets pushed them forward and faster and in second caught up to him running with Instant Movement. As he was surrounded by the Monokuma Ball they began to turn red and he took this as a sign that they were about to go off and jumped as far as possible away with Void Movement. Shin couldn't fully escape the blast so just before he was swallowed up in the explosion he protected himself with a full body Silver Dragon Scales.

- *EXPLOSION*!!!

The blast of over a hundred bombs detonating at once took out a whole city block and ignited the surrounding area in a blaze of fire. Shin avoided the worst of the explosion and survived thanks to jumping away and his defensive Ki skill, but all the same crashed through the wall of a local book store and was buried in a mountain of books. For a few seconds he had blacked out, but his instincts shock him away and told him to run. There was a approaching and he didn't wait to see what it was. Shin kicked down the door of the back of the bookstore and ran. Moments later the bookstore and several other buildings close by were swallowed up in a yellow light and went up in flames. Shin look back and saw in the distance Big Bang Monokuma with its left eye ormally red was now yellow with sparks of electricity running around the eye. The yellow eye turned its sights away from the recent destruction and towards it's prey running away. The yellow left eye started to charge up energy and glowed brighter by the second. Shin's instincts screamed at him to avoid what ever was coming, and he entered the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode.

Shin's legs enlarged by over four times their original size and he used this increase leg strength to sprint away with Instant Movement from Big Bang Monokuma and just as the feeling of danger reached its peak he changed direction into a back alley. Seconds later a yellow beam was shot out of Big Bang Monokuma's left eye at lightning speed. The beam shot down the street he was previously running on and continued on for miles scorching the earth. Shin looked back just once and saw the streets of Towa City had been turned into a river of molten earth and he knew he would have shared the same fate if he hadn't moved away at the last second. He knww no defensive skill in the world would save him if he took a direct hit. Maybe not even Aqua's Monster Wolf Form to risk a direct hit from such an attack.

Shin: "What an outrageous Side Quest! I can win with Komaru, but if I had let her leave Towa City what did God expect for me to do against that?! Even the most diabolic Visual Novels wouldn't allow you to go on a Bad End and for several events just to tell you you made the wrong decision three chapters back! Well... at least I held on, so go get wrong over you giant bipolar bear!"

Shin smiled as he directed his insults to Big Bang Monokuma. Big Bang Monokuma couldn't hear him, but would soon soon understand why he was smiling. Flying above Towa City and descending fast on a direct course for Big Bang Monokuma was the airship Excalibur. No one alive was left inside Excalibur. Once the course was set the pilot Sachi and the others escaped on Kotoko's Highlander the Great and flew away. Along with Shin who had stopped running they watched the impending crash with smiles on their faces. Only when it was too late did Big Bang Monokuma notice an abnormality and turned around to see the airship flying straight towards it. Big Bang Monokuma had no time to dodge and could only raise it's arms as Excalibur crashed into it. The impact and the airship exploding blew Big Bang Monokuma into a large skyscraper that then collapsed on top of it.

- *CRASH*!!!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Shin: "What a wonderful sight to behold. It would have been better if the damn robot just blew up there... but I guess in the end... Komaru and I have to be the ones to deliver it's last rites."

Shin from the streets below jumped into the air and used Void Movement to move to the tallest building still standing in the area that survived Big Bang Monokuma's rampage, and then he called his comrades with the Communicator Phone to come over to his location. As he hung up Shin had a certain realization. Why didn't he just directly call his comrades earlier? If he had just directly called Sachi pilot Excalibur instead of relaying a message though the untrustworthy and former enemy Kotoko, he could have ended things sooner. Shin stood there for a few seconds before deciding to throw away such embarrassing thoughts that nearly cost him his life. He also made a promise to never bring this up ever again as long as he lived. Shin didn't even have to wait two minutes before his comrades arrived.

Komaru, Drake, Sachi, along side Kotoko were standing on the shoulders of Highlander the Great as it flew towards the rooftop of where he was waiting and then landed safely. Shin's team disembarked the robkt and ran over towards him with worry. Shin was bruised all over and his clothes were a mess and covered with his blood. They couldn't imagine what kind of life and death battles he had gone through since they separated, but Shin himself didn't care about his own condition and was glad to see that not only was everyone alive they appeared to be uninjured as well. The battle was not over just yet, but they briefly talked about what had happened since they parted, and that's when he finally noticed.

Tied up with rope and carried in under Drake's right arm was one of the masterminds behind the recent tragedies of Towa City, Monaca Towa. Drake saw Shin's eyes on the green haired girl and explained why they brought her along. As they were escaping Excalibur that was set on a course to run into Big Bang Monokuma they were worried about the possibility of a penalty if Monaca died and that they allowed it, so they tired her up and took her along with them as they escape. Kotoko almost refused to bring her along due to their falling out, but Sachi was able to convince her in the end. Shin hearing this couldn't help but think that they were overreacting and God wouldn't punish them for just abandoning Monaca, but he also understood that there was no reason to play around with a dangerous bomb like her. Especially when they were the ones responsible for crashing the airship. Monaca was connected to a 50,000 Point penalty that would wipe anyone other than himself, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

Shin then noticed that despite being the topic of conversation Monaca hadn't reacted at all. On closer look she looked completely defeated and just didn't care anymore about what was going on. Shin couldn't help but feel that this was a good thing after thinking it over a bit and that this was a better conclusion than the game had for her. In the original plot the fate of Towa City didn't end with either Hope or Despair winning out in the end. Nothing was solved and there was no concrete way found to save the adults filled with nothing but rage in their hearts or the pitiful Monokuma Kids brainwashed to commit heinous crimes against the adults against their will for all eternity. Monaca didn't get the war of Despair she was hoping for or a ending like Junko Enoshima who brilliantly lost to Hope for all the world to see her carefully laid out plans for years crumble.

Shin: (I doubt she is someone who deserves to be saved or given another chance, but this was a clear cut defeat for her. Nothing changed for Monaca in the game, so she tired to start over by copying her idol Junko Enoshima. Now... just maybe with a proper defeat she can move on from Despair. Well, that kind of happy ending in the world of Dangan Ronpa is impossible, but who knows. Now...)

Shin turned his thoughts away from Monaca Towa and towards the immediate issue. To bring a end to this battle.

Shin: "Komaru. You and I will deliver the final blow to Big Bang Monokuma. Your Megaphone Hacking Gun is the key to bringing down that monster once and for all. Will you come with me?"

Komaru: "...Yes. Let's just... just bring a end to this war once and for all."

Shin could hear some sadness in Komaru's voice, bit he didn't have the time to spare to address them in peace. In the distance he could see signs of Big Bang Monokuma under the rubble of the collapsed skyscraper starting to dig its way out. He had no time to lose. Shin brought Komaru into his embrace and before Komaru could get a word in he ran off the edge of the building with her and as they fell kicked the floor with Void Movement and they were off. With each kick the two soared threw the air and soon arrived before the fallen Big Bang Monokuma half way free from the rubble. It's crazed red eye glared at the two of them with something incredibly dark in its soul and nearly petrified the two, and if Shin was not in Unlocked Mode and concerned with Komaru who was in his arms safety, he would have dropped to the streets below.

Shin: "So this is Ultimate Despair... Something like this should disappear from this world. Komaru are you ready?"

Komaru: "...Okay."

Shin: "...Komaru. I heard about your parents. We can talk about everything after this, so let's give it our all. Just know that I'll make you happy in the end. I'll die trying to make that come true if nothing else. Now, let's kill this thing and call it a day!"

Komaru: "Shin... Yes! Let's aim for the best Happy End I couldn't reach in this terrible game!"

Shin felt Komaru's resolve as she raised the Megaphone Hacking Gun towards the head of Big Bang Monokuma. This action alone wouldn't put down the giant killer robot, but using knowledge gained from Hypothetical TV Shin placed his hands on top of Komaru holding onto the Hacking Gun. Hypothetical TV revealed like how Toko Fukawa did in the last battle in the game, Shin too could charge the Megaphone Hacking Gun, but instead of the electricity of a stun gun, he used his own energy and not holding back he gave everything to Komaru. Shin at this time used the Life Force Booster to fully recharge his Ki, yet then he used it all up in the next second flr his ultimate technique. All of his Ki was covered into a higher tier energy and instead of using this power for himself to enhance his physical body for one action like a punch or kick, he directly channeled all of it into the Megaphone Hacking Gun. Big Bang Monokuma watched on as Komaru's gun designed to destroy the Monokuma charged up power enough to kill it in one blow and tried to resist. It's left eye began to glow with a yellow light of destruction and death, but before it could be released the first.

Shin and Komaru: "HOPE Bullet!!!,"

The Megaphone Hacking Gun radiated a light far surpassing Big Bang Monokuma's and released the charged attack HOPE Bullet. The HOPE Bullet as powerful as it was like most of the Hack Bullets couldn't injury normal humans, but for robots like Big Bang Monokuma taking the bullet was a death sentence and it could only receive it. The HOPE Bullet struck Big Bang Monokuma's head and it was blown off it's neck and into the far distance.
