Enjoy the show!’ Our Episode begins in Equestria as we saw Princess Celestia sitting in her throne as she was reading some documents before she sighed in disbelief “I just wish there was something fun to do here” Celestia said Just then the castle doors opened as a royal guard ran in “Your majesty, my excuses but somebody wanted to see you” The royal guard said Princess Celestia who heard this then smiled “Well, that’s a relief, bring them in” Celestia suggested “A-Are you sure, I mean, they look pretty dangerous, even other royal guards were scared” The royal guard suggested “Don’t worry dear guard as long as there’s something fun to do I’m all in” Celestia answered “Very well, come on in” The guard suggested Afterwards a black and white teddy bear walked in, he had a red scratch like eye and sharp teeth on the black side and a normal mouth and eye in the white part “Puhuhuhuhuhuuu! I’m so happy you could see me princess!” The bear giggled Celestia then dropped the documents after hearing this high pitched male voice as she turned to the black and white teddy bear “Bow if you’re talking to a princess!” Celestia ordered “Oh right, I forgot” The bear suggested before doing a dramatic bow “I’m so happy to see you your highness” The bear said “Very well, what is it you wanted to speak to me about?” Celestia asked The bear then went straight again “Right!” The bear realized before clearing his throat “Before I start with my idea I was wondering if I could say my name, I’m sure you haven’t seen me before, did you?” Monokuma asked “Oh! No I didn’t, very well, introduce yourself” Celestia suggested “I’m Monokuma, headmaster of Hope’s Peak Academy in my school! I’m the one who started the very popular reality show called Danganronpa” Monokuma explained “Danganronpa? What’s that?” Celestia asked “Why?! It’s a killing game of course! And the crowd really loved it, it spawned lot’s of TV Shows, games, fangames, youtuberonpas, instaronpa’s, fangans and of course… Merchandise!” Monokuma explained “Did you just say killing game?!” Celestia asked in shock “Yes I did but—” Monokuma started “Guards! Seize him!” Celestia ordered Guards then rushed towards the bear ready to attack him only for Monokuma to rush towards them before attacking them and sending them flying a bit as a few got bruises while others began bleeding pink as Celestia got angry as she lightened her horn “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Calm down Princess! I know what you might think but I have changed, Makoto, Shuichi and Hajime have all reasoned with me so there’s no need to be scared” Monokuma said “Then how did you survive?!” Celestia asked “I may or may not have thousands upon thousands of clones and this clone and others I’m using for this world are a bit nicer, we may still love the original trope but we want something new, something more kid friendly, something more… Less bloody!” Monokuma explained “So, what you’re saying is you want to create a reality show just like most others, having ponies be stuck in a certain place and play challenges with the team that lost sending one player home, correct?” Celestia asked “Yes and I want to host it here since my homeworld is kinda… Um… In a large despairful war” Monokuma explained “Very well, you may host your show here but I will be making a few regulations for you just in case” Celestia said “Thank you, I’ll be bringing my hostages… I mean participants here” Monokuma said “Very well, bring anyone you know you trust here while I’ll go and ask some ponies to be hosts, we’ll meet back here in less than an hour” Celestia said “Of course! Also, do I use some kind of portal to send them here or…?” Monokuma asked “Hmm, I’ve got an idea, nothing too harsh but nothing too easy so if any of them get hurt blame it on no one” Celestia suggested “Nah! I’ll blame it on my sister” Monokuma said only for Celestia to glare “Fine, fine, I won’t blame anyone” Monokuma said “Good, now I’ve got some things to prepare so if you would excuse me” Princess Celestia said “Of course your highness” Monokuma said Monokuma then left as we saw him grinning a bit “Puhuhuhuhuuu! My dear participants! I will have things be lenient but remember, there’s still a bit of despair in this bear” Monokuma said with a giggle The intro begins as the screen moves towards Ponyville where Monokuma was seen walking with his kids and his sister as they tried to chat about the game Dear mom and dad I’m doing fine The screen moved past them before it stopped in sugarcube corner where Pinkie and Teruteru were making cupcakes that Akane, Hina, Hifumi, Mahiru, Himeko, Hiyoko, Sayaka and Sonia began eating with Akane, Himeko and Hiyoko being excited You guys are on my mind You asked me what I wanted to be The screen then switched to the Carousel Boutique where Tsumugi, Celeste, Junko, Mukuro and Chiaki were testing out clothing with Rarity with some of them failing to get into the outfit causing them to fall down while Rarity chuckled nervously And I think the answer is plain to see… I wanna be… Famous! The screen then zipped out the other window towards Fluttershy’s animal sanctuary where Fluttershy was worried on what Mahiru, Angie, Fuyuhiko, Peko, Gundham, Ibuki, Korekiyo, Leon and Yasuhiro were doing before she turned around only to see that Gonta was stuck between loads of animals who either sat on him, licked him or whatever else making her chuckle a bit while Gonta was just staring at the camera in confusion on what’s happening as he muttered help I wanna live close to the sun Well pack your bags ‘Cause I’ve already won The screen then changed to Rainbow preparing to race Sakura, Ryoma, Maki, Kaito, Mondo, Taka, Peko, Fuyuhiko, Nekomaru and Kazuichi before she rushed off with super speed causing the six to stop and drop their jaws to the ground which caused Rainbow to return and cheer only to see them looking in awe at her Everything to prove nothing in my way I’ll get there one day Cause I wanna be famous The screen then showed Tenko, Byakuya, Chihiro, Kaede, Keebo, Kirumi, Kyoko, Mikan, Miu, Nagito, Rantaro, Tenko, Toko, Makoto, Hajime, Shuichi and Ultimate Imposter in Twilight’s castle reading books as some of them began cheering happily Na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na The screen then changed to nighttime as the contestants were seen walking to both sides of the castle either in worry or anger as we see the hosts throwing cupcakes one after another (Naaa) I wanna be… (Naaa) I wanna be… (Naaa) I wanna be famous (Naaa) I wanna be… (Naaa) I wanna be… (Naaa) I wanna be famous The screen then showed the contestants whistling a bit as they looked at the screen while the Monokubs finished the banner which Princess Celestia then puts on the wall in front of the door which read ‘Total Drama Equestria’ After the intro played the screen changed to the dark red sky of Japan meaning it was nighttime as most everyone was sleeping in their beds until in certain houses a bright flash appeared and a bunch of Monokuma’s ran out and dragged everyone away while in Equestria some Monokuma’s were working with Twilight and Starlight to revive the ones that didn’t survive the killing games while the main Monokuma watched “Thanks for being able to help miss” Monokuma thanked “No worries, I understand this sounded sudden but I know you have a good reason for this, besides, me and my friends were all bored too” Twilight explained “So, the only way to make you less bored was this?” Monokuma asked “Not exactly, I mean, I’ve been wanting to host a reality show after what Twilight told me about from her old show before she and her husband broke up” Starlight explained “Yeah but don’t worry, he still loves me, he just felt he wanted some time apart but sometimes he comes to take a visit” Twilight explained “Hmm, does he hate you, Twilight?” Monokuma asked “No, he just thought he won’t be a good prince, I tried to talk to him about it but he won’t understand, but that’s how we broke up, I’m sure he’ll understand some day” Twilight said worriedly “I agree, don’t worry about it, you’re secret’s safe with me” Monokuma said After saying that Princess Celestia trotted towards the duo “Is everything ready?” Celestia asked “We’re almost done, though these guys will be a bit confused once they wake up” Monokuma explained “I get what you mean, I mean, the world they came in was under war and most of them died” Celestia explained “Really?! How?!” Twilight asked “You don’t wanna know” Celestia asked turning to Monokuma “Riiight” Starlight said Afterwards the last thud was heard making the four turn to the source as they saw the last human had fallen onto the ground “I may as well make the team flags” Twilight said “No need Twilight, I’ve had some friendly bears do it for me!” Monokuma said “Bears?” Starlight and Twilight asked in confusion “I can explain” A high pitched girl voice said The trio then got confused before they turned to the source only to see five smaller bears and one rabbit, the rabbit was the same as Monokuma except she had pink skin on one part, her muzzle was totally different, she had a pink bow on the side of her head and a white diaper meanwhile the bears were also different, one bear was white and red with a long dark blue scarf with a white star on top, the other was white and light pink with darker pink stripes and a white and yellow flower on her head and a black bikini with a pink flower on both sides, the third was white and blue with a piece in the right side white with darker white stars around the eyes and white shoulderplates, he also had a guitar in his hand, the fourth looked more like a robot, he had a green eye on the left a white and neutral green skin on the side and metallic arms and green ball like hands and finally the fifth had white and yellow skin with darker yellow wavey stripes, he even wore glasses and all of them even had different scratch like eyes, the robot one had a red scratch just like his father, the guitarist and scarf wearing one had a black scratch and the flower one and glasses one had a white scratch as the five bears approached Monokuma with their made banners “Great job kid, you definitely deserve a star!” Monokuma said “Father, can we host the show with you?” The red one asked “And steal my spotlight, no, I don’t think so but it was very nice of you to help me, now kids why don’t you put these banners on the poles over there and we’ll get right to you” Monokuma suggested “Sweet!” The five said The five then rushed off “Wait, you’re kids of… These bears?! Now I need large explanation” Starlight said “I have to agree, I mean, one of these guys look robotic” Twilight reminded Just then a sound was heard as they turned to one guy who began powering on, he had white skin, blue eyes, white hair with a spike on top and a black suit with a lot of buttons as he approached Twilight before grabbing her neck “Are you being robophobic?!” The robot asked angrily Twilight who was scared then nervously looked at the guy “N-No I’m not! I was just stating the obvious from one of those bears” Twilight explained The robot slowly loosened his grip “Did you say… Bear?” Keebo asked “Yeah, look” Twilight suggested The robot then turned around and when he did he dropped Twilight in shock and worry “Oh, no, no, no! This is not good! I swear I defeated the mastermind! Where is she! I’m gonna beat her!” The robot ordered Princess Celestia then approached the robot with a chuckle “Calm down Keebo, Monokuma here told me he’s changed so I doubt he’s gonna trap you in another killing game” Princess Celestia explained “Killing what now?!” Twilight asked in shock and anger “I’ll explain later” Princess Celestia said “Speaking of killing games… HOW AM I ALIVE?!” The robot asked in shock “Well, I may or may not have recreated you and freed others from their deaths using my magic and Monokuma’s special flying chains” Twilight explained “A-Are you serious?! You’re seriously working with that guy?! I mean, he caused most of my friends’ deaths, I mean, only those I know of, of course” The robot reminded “I know he is not to be trusted after what he pulled off on you and the others but if he does something we don’t like I’ll fix it so don’t worry” Twilight suggested “Are you sure?” The robot asked in uncertainty “Yes but like Celestia told me, he may not be like anyone we’ve faced before but we’ll be prepared” Twilight said The robot then sighed “Very well, I’ll trust you, just give me a message if things go wrong” The robot suggested “Will do” Twilight said “Anyways, I think everything’s ready and it’s almost morning so we should probably go meet up with the rest of the crew and discuss our next plans, we’ll start the team introductions in the morning” Celestia suggested “Alright, kids, time to get to your beds, we have a busy day ahead of us” Monokuma said The group then sighed in defeat as Monokuma send them away while the bunny could only look in worry before she approached Twilight “Hey Twilight, can we have a talk?” The bunny asked “Sure” Twilight said before turning to Celestia “I’ll be coming in a moment, you may start the meeting without me” Twilight suggested “Very well, be on time of course” Celestia suggested “Of course” Twilight said Princess Celestia then trotted off leaving Twilight alone with the bunny and the other sleeping participants “Now, tell me, what seems to be the problem?” Twilight asked “Well, I don’t know if you know this but Monokuma used to bully me a lot” The bunny explained “Really? What did he used to do?” Twilight asked in worry “A lot, he used to fight me, forced me to be his brother, forced our participants to participate in a killing game when it was supposed to be a peaceful vacation and…” The bunny started before gulping in sadness “Even broke my magic wand” The bunny answered sadly “And do you know why he did that?” Twilight asked “No I don’t all I know is that he killed my master during the first ever execution test” The bunny answered “And that’s the only thing you know, correct?” Twilight asked “Yeah so please whenever he plans on hurting me or whatever the heck else protect me, that’s all I wanted to say” The bunny pleaded “I will, now why don’t we bring these people to their rooms for the day and don’t worry, I’ll have a discussion with your so called brother” Twilight said “Thanks and when somebody says they don’t trust me after I teamed up with him please tell them that I didn’t want to, I’m sure they’ll listen to you” The bunny suggested “Of course, I mean, I’m a princess after all” Twilight explained “Thank you” The bunny said Afterwards the duo began picking up certain people and either putting them on their backs or dragging them by the legs After a while somebody woke up and that person had a light brown skin, dark brown hair with an ahoge, hazel brown eyes, black jeans, a zipped-up dull green hoodie which has an image of a red gas mask in a circle printed on the back of the hood, and the zipper goes all the way up to the top of the hood. He wears a pin shaped like a four-pointed star overlaying a crescent moon; this is pinned to the lapel of his jacket, with a red stripe along the zipper, an open black jacket with gold buttons, and red sneakers with white toes and when he did he felt a bit of nausea as he quickly went to search for the bathroom but couldn’t find it causing him to throw up in front of him which was also where a red bear stood “Seriously?! What’s this all about?!” The red bear asked The guy who heard an unfamiliar voice then looked down at where he threw up only to see a white and red bear causing him to scream “Ack! A Monokuma clone! Get away before you trap me in another one of your stupid games!” The guy ordered The guy then wanted to run only to see the bear zip towards him “Seriously, you threw up on me when I was about to go bring everyone and yet you go and scream as if I’m Monokuma’s failed clone?! Well tell you what?! I’m not Monokuma’s fake clone, I’m his child!” The bear reminded “That’s not true! I mean, I didn’t hear of any Monokuma kids” The guy said The bear then sighed in disbelief “Are you serious right now?! You know what, I’m gonna go ahead and find a way to bring you home, you are instantly eliminated!” The bear said “Eliminated?” The guy asked “Too late, you lost the prize, you should’ve been kinder to—” The bear started “That’s enough!” A voice then called out Just then the duo turned around and when they did they saw a white girl with a bit darker white hair and purple eyes walking towards the group, she even wore a dark purple collared blazer jacket with six brown buttons over a zipped up long-sleeved white blouse and brown tie with a bird-like symbol on it. She also wears a black short skirt, heeled knee-high black boots with equally knee-high light purple socks, she also wears custom-made black studded gloves to conceal the burn marks on her hands “Ugh! Another one of these stupid bitches!” The bear said “First of all this is no way to be rude and second of all if this is another one of Monokuma’s tricks to get us to kill each other you may as well die trying” Kyoko said “Who said you were forced to kill each other?” The bear asked “Don’t lie to me mister, is this gonna be another one of the killing games?” Kyoko asked “Code red, I repeat, code red!” The bear said “Uh oh, don’t tell me…” Makoto started before somepony was heard trotting to the group and that pony was Rarity who got confused “What’s going on here?” Rarity asked “Some participants are being rude to me just because they thought I’m a Monokuma clone or that we want them to kill” The bear explained “Goodness, that’s not good!” Rarity said before she stepped in front of the duo “My apologies dear participants but Monotaro wasn’t planning on having you guys kill, we had something more Equestrian planned, something that was hosted years ago by a different host but no need to worry, I’ll go have Fluttershy get everyone else and as for me I’ll bring you guys to the team making room for all your questions but for now let’s go, Monotaro, go tell Fluttershy to go get the others” Rarity suggested “Yes miss, I’ll go do it” The bear known as Monotaro said Afterwards Monotaro ran off “Now come on, you’re a few ways away from the meeting room” Rarity suggested Rarity then trotted off as Makoto turned to Kyoko in worry “Are you sure we should trust her?” Makoto asked “I’m not sure as of now, she seemed stylish but this could be another trick to get you to feel despair so I suggest we investigate a bit regarding the situation and once we know for sure Monokuma is safe we can trust him so for now don’t trust him too much” Kyoko suggested “Okay, if you say so” Makoto said The duo then entered the team making room where they saw the hosts of their killing games, the Mane Six, Spike and Starlight standing around and chatting with Princess Celestia in the center who then turned to them “Morning guys, have you slept well?” Celestia asked “Of course, we’re up and ready for the game” Makoto answered “Very well, if you want you may also take some breakfast from the table over there” Celestia suggested “Sure, of course” Makoto said Makoto then went to stand up only for Kyoko to pull him back and whisper “Makoto, what are you doing? This could be poisoned” Kyoko asked “But Kyoko, I’m hungry” Makoto reminded “Are you serious?! Haven’t you eaten this morning! Go get some vegetables!” Kyoko ordered “Where do I find them?! I don’t even know the way out of this place” Makoto reminded Celestia who heard the discussion approached them “What’s going on here, are you two doing alright, according to Monokuma you  were boyfriend and girlfriend” Celestia reminded “WHAT?!” Makoto and Kyoko gasped in shock “N-No, we’re not! I mean! We can’t even decide who’s right easily” Makoto reminded “I get why, you’re worried that the food is poisoned by Monokuma and crew right?” Celestia asked “How’d you know?! Were you spying on us?!” Kyoko asked “No, I would definitely not do that and I know Monokuma made things worse for you back home but that doesn’t mean we’re gonna poison the food, I mean Monokuma’s willing to change! So either you eat or not eat but don’t make stupid claims that could easily get you voted out!” Celestia suggested “Fine! Come on Makoto! We’ve got some food to eat!” Kyoko said angrily The two then went to the table of breakfast as they began eating only to find it tasted great “Hey! What’d you know?! This tastes great!” Makoto said “You are so naive Makoto” Kyoko said in disbelief Just then the door was heard opening as Fluttershy trotted in “We’re back!” Fluttershy called out Afterwards the duo turned around and saw the rest of the crew, all of them even those that were previously dead and when they entered they went towards the table until Monokuma popped up “Welcome to your breakfast everyone, everything’s so tasty for your tastebuds!” Monokuma said After saying that the crowd gasped in shock before they began chattering sounds of anger, worry and more as Monokuma got nervous before Princess Celestia approached the table and whistled causing everyone to get quiet “Guys, I know you can’t trust anything Monokuma says after your respective killing games, Makoto and Kyoko did so too but please do trust him and everyone else that’s been a mascot for the killing game because they want to change” Princess Celestia pleaded Twilight then approached the table too “Yes, except for Monomi which while I know helped Monokuma, she didn’t have a choice so please do not get mad, I’ll give you a hint, Makoto, Kyoko, how’s the food tasting?” Twilight asked The group then turned to Makoto and Kyoko who were eating before they smiled which gave them a hint A guy who was in the center of the group and had light green hair, a dark blue T-shirt with darker blue stripes, a white blouse behind it, gray pants and black and white shoes then spoke up “Are you sure about this? I mean, what if it’s a trick?” Rantaro asked “We’ve had a thorough investigation on Monokuma’s behavior last night and he seemed willing to turn over a new leaf so it might not be a trick” Celestia suggested A girl who looked like a kid and had yellow hair with banana like ponytails, while wearing an orange kimono with a yellow band around her and flowers spread everywhere on the kimono and wore sandals then spoke up “Very well” Hiyoko said The group then went to the table and ate whatever they wanted to eat as breakfast before a fat guy who had black hair with a spike on top and black eyes who wore a white T-shirt, with an orange scarf with two blue arrows pointing up and down while merged, a gray jacket, black pants and white sneakers got confused “Uh miss, I know it’s weird to ask but where’s the meat?” The fat guy asked After the group heard that they turned to The fat guy in shock except for an brown haired girl with darker brown messed up hair, gray hair, white jacket, red skirt and white sneakers who turned to Celestia in agreement “Yeah, the only thing I taste is vegetarian meat” The brown haired girl said “Um, I think it’s best if I go take a look at my animal friends, later” Fluttershy said Fluttershy then rushed off as the rest of the group turned to the fat guy and brown haired girl angrily “What?! Can’t I ask that?!” The brown haired asked “Look guys, I know you want something that is the forbidden word here but I’m afraid we can’t allow that, I mean we’re all horses and we wouldn’t wanna eat animals as they’re one of our closest friends, especially to Fluttershy” Celestia explained “Oh, our apologies, we weren’t meaning to be rude” The fat guy apologized “No worries, I get why you said that just don’t say that out loud in public or else ponies might get horrified just like Fluttershy” Celestia explained “We won’t we promise” The brown haired girl said “Alright sugarcubes, if you’re done with eating we can start with the team making” Applejack explained Somebody then perked up in confusion and that person had black hair made in curly ponytails, blue like grayish eyes, glasses a black sailor’s outfit with the shoulder sleeves turned upside down and an orange tie underneath the shoulder sleeves, black skirt with two white stripes, white socks and black shoes “T-T-Teams? What’s t-that needed f-for?” The stuttering girl asked Somebody then turned to Applejack in confusion, he had dirty blond hair, a white T-shirt with green straps over it, a green jacket with a button on one of the jacket’s side, green pants with a black belt and black shoes “I have to agree with this stalker of a killer, I thought this was going to be a killing game” The glasses guy reminded Someone else then turned to Applejack with an boring look, she had light pink hair, a black T-shirt jacket with a black and white tie over it, a short red skirt, black socks and black heels “Yeah, why don’t you just do that, it makes things exciting” The despairful person said Somebody then turned to Junko angrily, they had light green spiky hair, green eyes,  he wears a white T-shirt with a black tie and a black skirt with gray stripes, the same for the pants, only his shoes were white with black soles and he also had a black eyepatch with swirls on it “Absolutely not Junko! I don’t know which devil gave birth to you and Mukuro but we’re not doing a killing game, right?” The green haired guy asked “Finally, someone’s willing to listen” The bunny said in disbelief “I know you’re all a bit worried except for two people but we can’t allow any murders to happen in Equestria so if any of you murder someone you’ll be voted out” Celestia said The stuttering girl then pulled her hand up “H-Hope you can b-b-be a little l-l-lenient o-on me as I h-have an a-alternate p-personality that can k-kill” The stuttering girl explained “Very well Toko but that would mean you’ll be stuck in the royal castle for a while until your alternate personality comes out” Celestia said “H-How many s-strikes does m-my alternate -p-p-personality have?” Toko asked “I’ll discuss it with her” Celestia said “Actually, her alternate personality can be really sneaky, you should probably lock the doors and windows just in case she tries to run off” Makoto said “Thanks for the reminder Makoto, very well, Toko, how does your alternate personality come about?” Celestia asked “W-W-When I see b-b-blood” Toko explained “Hmm, are there any other side effects?” Celestia asked “N-N-Not that I know of, s-s-sorry” Toko answered sadly “Alright, you may then stay in the royal castle as we test everything out that doesn’t have blood and when we figure it out and your personality comes out we can quickly give her the strikes” Celestia said “O-Okay” Toko said “Any other questions or concerns?” Celestia asked Everyone else then looked at each other in worry and confusion before Celestia turned to Twilight “Alright, I will now give you guys a book, the six of you that have a book that references Earth’s books will be given the spots as team leader” Twilight explained “Now, get reading the titles, puhuhuhuhuuuu!!! Who will be getting the leader spot and who will be forced to be the underdog, let’s find out!” Monokuma chuckled The group then grabbed some books as they all read the titles of the books some of which were confusing while others were easy to figure out “Alright, those who have books of any Earth places may go stand with one of the hosts” Twilight suggested The group then looked at each other in nervousness until one person after another stood up, these were Toko, a white skinned girl with black hair in extended swirly pony tails and red eyes, she wore a white t-shirt with a red tie on top, black jacket, with white parts popping out, a black skirt and just like the jacket white parts were popping out, black socks and dark black heels, the third was a guy with purple spiky hair and purple eyes, he wears a white t-shirt with black parts, a purple jacket with a darker purple galaxy styled jacket hanging over it, purple pants and gray sandals (Before you ask, yes, he wears sandals), the fourth was Keebo, the fifth was Akane and the sixth was a muscly guy with black hair, green eyes, black bushy eyebrows with blue lightning shooting out of it, he wears a white shirt that barely fits, a black fluffy jacket, blue pants and wears sandals made of egg trays as they approached each host “Alright this means Toko, Celeste, Kaito, Keebo, Akane and Nekomaru are the new team leaders of this season, go stand at any podium you want and then we can choose the team members” Celestia suggested The six then went to a podium they wanted to stand on as the rest went to stand in front of them and in the middle of each host as Twilight went to the center “Alright, who wants to go first?” Twilight asked The four then looked at each other in worry before Toko pulls her hand up “Alright then Toko, who’s your first team member” Twilight suggested “You may choose anyone you like or someone you trust would easily win challenges for you” Rainbow suggested Toko then began thinking as she looked at everyone before she pointed at the glasses guy, the one that spoke up first “I c-c-choose Byakuya b-b-because I k-k-kinda have a c-c-crush on him” Toko said “For the one thousandth time stop saying that!” The guy named Byakuya ordered “But she has decided so I’m afraid you’ll have to go there” Rarity said Byakuya then sighed in disbelief “Very well but don’t mention me crushing on you again, okay?!” Byakuya ordered “Y-Y-Yes, I-I-I’ll try” Toko said Byakuya then went to Toko as Celestia turned to Keebo “So, who’s your pick?” Celestia asked “Hmm, this is tough, I trust most of them, you know what, I’ll say… Miu, I know how mean she was in the past but that ### thing we had definitely gave her a few points” Keebo explained A girl named Miu who heard this then got confused, she had light blonde hair, with parts going in a half circle, she even had a brown mask on the top of her head, she had blue eyes and had a bunch of chain like necklaces around her neck, she wore a pink sailor’s jacket with the upper sleeves pulled down, a pink skirt, some black gloves and black belts on the legs, white socks and black heels “Did you seriously need to mention that?” Miu asked “Yeah, we didn’t need to know that” Celestia said in agreement Rarity then pulled her hoof up as Keebo turned to her “Yeah, what is it?” Keebo asked “What’s ###?” Rarity asked “### means you’re being romantic with someone and laying on top of them to make kids, I believe that’s what it means!” Pinkie explained “Oh, I think I hear my laundry calling, later!” Rarity said Rarity then rushed off as everyone turned to Pinkie angrily “What?! She asked!” Pinkie explained “What you just said was so gross, even for somepony so random as you” Rainbow said “Me?! I tried making it less gross but—” Pinkie started “I’m gonna have your brain checked at the Ponyville hospital after this” Twilight said Applejack then turned to Miu “Anyways, go stand with Keebo” Applejack suggested Miu then did so and when she got on her team’s podium Keebo turned to her “I probably shouldn’t have said that, right?” Keebo asked “Nope” Miu answered in disbelief “Anyways, who will you pick, Akane?” Celestia asked “Hmm, that is tough, I’ll pick Teruteru though, he seems like a great guy, especially with the food he makes” Akane said A tiny brown guy called Teruteru with darker brown hair and black eyes who has a tiny chef’s hat on his head, white jacket with buttons, a red apron, black pants and beige shoes then turned to Akane with a smile “Seriously, thank you so much!” Teruteru said “Seriously?! And I thought I was a great cook!” Applejack said in disbelief “Same here” Pinkie said in agreement Starlight then chuckled a bit “Don’t worry girls I’m sure they didn’t know it especially since you guys were the ones who made the food” Starlight said “It’s alright sugarcube we get it” Applejack said “Celestia, you’re up” Spike suggested “Uh, which Celestia do you mean Spike?” Makoto asked “Yeah, if you’re talking about Celestia then it must be that pony if it’s Celeste then you’ll speak about me” Celestia reminded “Oh right, you’re up Celeste” Spike said “Despite that small hiccup I’ll pick Hifumi, he seems like a very nice sla— I mean contestant to team up with” Celeste said “Thank you very much my queen” Hifumi thanked Hifumi then went towards Celeste’s podium as Pinkie turned to Twilight in worry “Is it just me or did she want to say slave?” Pinkie asked “It’s probably just you Pinkie” Twilight answered “Oh okay” Pinkie said Pinkie then turned back to Celeste with a suspicious look before shrugging “Now then Kaito, who will you pick?” Rainbow asked “Shuichi, he’s my best bud after all” Kaito answered The dark blue haired guy who had an ahoge and slightly light blue eyes and wears  black jacket with some buttons and a pin from the school he went to before, black pants and black shoes named Shuichi then smiled a bit “Thanks my dude” Shuichi thanked “No worries” Kaito said Shuichi then walked to the platform only to get worried “Hey Kaito, I don’t know if you knew this but did you know that your execution failed because you died from the poisoned arrow?” Shuichi asked “It did?! Well, guess I won and lost at the same time hehe” Kaito chuckled Shuichi then got nervous “I’m a little afraid of asking but… What did you see when you… Um… Died?” Shuichi asked Kaito then began thinking only to get a flash of a cursed 3D version of himself before chuckling nervously “I don’t know exactly, sorry” Kaito suggested “Oh okay” Shuichi said “But I hope we can chat more during this new show” Kaito said “Yeah, same here” Shuichi said “Alright, Nekomaru you may now start” Applejack suggested “Hmm, I would want a new training partner so Sakura, you’re in my team” Nekomaru said “Very well” Sakura said Afterwards a brown muscly girl with white hair and white eyes who’s called while wearing a sailor’s outfit who’s sleeves were ripped off, a black skirt and white bandages as his socks and beige shoes who was called Sakura then went to the podium right when Rarity entered back into the room alongside Fluttershy “What did I miss?” Fluttershy asked “Not a whole lot, we’re starting with the team making” Twilight answered “Oh okay” Fluttershy said Rarity then looked at the one podium where the latest team member was chosen “Wow! A muscly team! It looks so exciting, are you saying these are the team members for now?” Rarity asked “Yeah, definitely, anyways, let’s keep watching and don’t worry, no gross things will be said this times” Twilight said “That’s a relief” Fluttershy said “I agree darling” Rarity agreed “Now then, Team one, who’s your next pick?” Applejack asked Toko and Byakuya then began thinking as they looked at each person before back at each other “So, is there someone you wanna pick Toko?” Byakuya asked “Hmm, t-t-there’s a l-l-lot a-and they all s-seem pretty bad but if I had to pick it would definitely be T-T-That girl w-w-with a g-g-green b-b-bow s-since s-she doesn’t seem p-pretty bad” Toko suggested “Alright, The girl with the green bow it is” Byakuya said “That’s Tenko but alright” Monophanie said The girl named Tenko then cheered, the girl had dark green hair with her ponytails that went to the lower part of her knees, she had a purple headband and a large green bow on top with four parts showing, she also wore white parts, she had a light blue sailor’s outfit and a slightly darker blue skirt white socks and green sandals and on the lower right part of her lip she had a mole “Sweet! Thanks for picking me but could you please only pick girls?” Tenko asked “What?! Are you saying boys are not good?!” Byakuya asked “Yeah, I mean they’re all no good degenerates” Tenko answered “Why you—!” Byakuya started Byakuya wanted to approach Tenko only for Applejack and Rainbow to rush towards him and pull him back “Calm down, she may have said something mean but that doesn’t mean you should attack her!” Rainbow said “Yeah, besides, where did you learn that tone, Tenko?!” Spike asked angrily “My home” Tenko answered angrily Spike then sighed in disbelief “I don’t know who taught you that but please do not say that again, this could get ponies really mad!” Spike said “I don’t care!!!” Tenko answered angrily “Fine but if things go wrong it’s your fault” Spike said angrily Tenko then glared as Spike sighed in disbelief “Just leave her alone Spike, it’s not worth it and Byakuya don’t listen to him” Twilight suggested “Fine!” Byakuya said “Keebo, Miu, your choice now” Starlight said Keebo and Miu then looked at the crowd and began thinking “I’ll pick Chihiro in case I’m glitching” Keebo explained “You have me, remember?” Miu asked “Yeah but you need help, don’t you?” Keebo asked Miu then sighed in disbelief “Very well, Chihiro, come here” Miu said A guy who was called Chihiro with light brown hair with dark green eyes who wears a dark green jacket with white parts, darker green skirt, black socks and beige heels then smiled and went on stage “Thanks guys” Chihiro thanked Akane and Teruteru then looked at the others and thought before Teruteru turned to her “Please pick Sonia for me” Teruteru suggested “Very well, come on up Sonia” Akane suggested A girl with white skin, light blond hair which had a starry bow on top and gray eyes who was called Sonia then smiled and walked on stage, she wore an black T-shirt with puffy sleeves, a white belt, a black skirt, black and white socks and red shoes that were stylized like sandals “Thanks for choosing me guys” Sonia said “No worries Sonia” Akane said “We choose the girl who looks like a maid” Celeste said A woman named Kirumi then smiled as she walked on stage, she had gray like hair with a black and white maids hat on top and green eyes and wore a black blouse with buttons and white sleeves, black gloves with white parts, a black skirt with the bottom parts showing she also had white underneath the black and darker black underneath the white, black socks and black and white shoe like sandals “Thanks for choosing me” Kirumi said “No worries, I just thought you were a good maid to me, I mean, I need someone to give me food of course and I thought Hifumi might need your help” Celestia explained “Oh, right, but don’t ask us for help too much please” Kirumi suggested “I won’t, I promise” Celeste said “Let’s bring the gang back together, Maki, come on up!” Kaito announced A girl named Maki who had brown hair with some fat elastics making two pony tails on the top and red eyes and wears are sailor’s shirt with the lower part of her sleeves having black parts and the top having a gray and white part, a black skirt below, a red wristband, red socks and then turned to both in worry before pointing at herself before looking back at the podium she heard her name from “Yes, friends must stay together, shouldn’t they?” Shuichi asked Maki then cheered happily before running to them only to realize what she was doing making her stop and scoff “I mean, thank you very much” Maki said in an rebel like tone Shuichi then giggled a bit before wrapping his arms around Kaito and Maki who thanks to him all hugged “Let’s leave those two for now, Sakura, who's your pick?” Nekomaru asked “Hmm, let’s pick some other muscly guy, how about him” Sakura suggested Nekomaru then turned to where she was pointing and realized it was at a guy who had brown skin, darker brown hair and hazel brown eyes while wearing a white business outfit with a scarf which was behind a brown jacket with lots of buttons and brown pants but unlike the others he wasn’t wearing shoes but he does have a see through blue with green railing box on a yellow strap around his neck “Very well” Nekomaru said before turning to the guy “You, with the box, get over here, you’re our newest team member” Nekomaru announced “Thanks, Gonta really like to hear that” Gonta thanked in a Tarzan way Gonta then went towards him as Nekomaru turned to Sakura and pulled him to turn him around so they could whisper “Is he actually raised by gorillas like Tarzan?” Nekomaru asked “I’m not sure but should we be worried?” Sakura asked “Nah, let’s not be for now” Nekomaru suggested “Okay then” Sakura said Gonta who was confused then approached the duo and asked.. “Gonta suspicious or what?” Gonta asked The duo then turned around nervously “N-No, you’re not, you’re definitely not!” Sakura answered nervously “Y-Yeah, she’s right” Nekomaru answered “It’s alright, Gonta not mad” Gonta said The duo then smiled before they turned to each other as they knew what the other wanted to say making them nod Meanwhile with Team 6 Toko, Byakuya and Tenko were looking at the cast and thinking before Tenko turned to Toko “Can we pick Angie Yonaga and afterwards Himeko Yumeno?” Tenko asked “S-Sure, A-Angie, y-you’re up” Toko answered A brown girl who had white hair where certain pieces of her hair were tied in the front with yellow elastic and blue hair, and wears a white bikini with a tie and some skirt like pieces in the center and a white skirt like swimming pants with a tie in the front too, a black wristband on her leg, a yellow jacket and black shoes then went on stage with a smile “Thanks for picking me Tenko” Angie thanked Tenko then rushed to Angie and gave her a big hug “I missed you so much Angie! I don’t know how we died and such but it’s worth it if I can see you again!” Tenko said as some tears fell out of her eyes Angie who felt the tears then smiled a bit “Shh! It’s okay, we’re back together now and I’ll protect you better now, no more suspicious alliances though” Angie said “Okay then, let’s do it!” Tenko said The two then broke out of the hug as the screen changed to Team 2 where the trio were looking around until Chihiro turned to Keebo “I had an idea, what if we choose Mondo” Chihiro suggested “Are you sure? I mean, in my game we had flashes from the past and one of them showed Mondo killing you” Keebo reminded “Yeah but I’m sure it was supposed to be an accident, I mean, there was a motive that got to our nerves and ended up with Mondo killing me but I’m sure he didn’t mean to” Chihiro explained “Very well, Mondo, come on up!” Keebo said Mondo who had orange hair pulled like a dorito far off his head, white eyes and black eye shadows at a few places heard his name making him smile brightly, he wore a white shirt who’s part was on the lower part of his chest, a black belt with a gray creature on top in metal form and black pants and over it was a black skirt with yellow/orange details and gray sandals as he approached the trio with a smile “Thanks for picking me, especially you Chihiro” Mondo said “No worries and before you start apologizing for the murder it’s alright I understand why you did that” Chihiro said “Very well, guess there’s nothing worth to fucking apologize for is there?” Mondo asked “Of course there isn’t” Chihiro answered Mondo then cheered as the screen changed to Team 3 where Sonia turned to Akane and Teruteru “Could you please choose Gundham?” Sonia asked A guy who had pink hair pulled backwards while wearing a beanie then gasped as the guy had pink like purple eyes, sharp teeth and an garage workers’ uniform in yellow with loads of pictures put on it and yellow sneakers turned angrily at the team “What about me?! Am I not good enough for you?!” The pink haired guy asked angrily Sonia who noticed his anger then smiled warmly “Don’t worry Kazuichi, you’ll get your chance” Sonia said “Are you serious right now?! I want to be with you and only you!” The pink guy remind angrily “Should we choose him or…?” Akane asked “Very well, we’ll pick Kazuichi but afterwards we’ll pick Gundham, I just hope I don’t regret this” Sonia said Kazuichi then rushed towards her with super speed before looking at her with a large smile “Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, I couldn’t even begin to help but get worried you didn’t love me!” Kazuichi said excitedly “Who said I loved you?” Sonia asked “Eh?” Kazuichi asked “I mean, we only met a few times, I didn’t have a crush on you except for Gundham who I spoke to more than once” Sonia explained in disbelief Kazuichi who heard that then heard his heart break before he dropped to the ground and shouted a big…: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” Kazuichi called out while Sonia had turned around Meanwhile back in Team 4 Celeste, Hifumi and Kirumi were looking at the rest of the non chosen members until Celeste had decided “I pick the best C-rank person in the world, Makoto” Celeste explained Makoto then sighed in disbelief knowing what that meant as he approached Celeste “I told you I’m still thinking about it, even after you died!” Makoto reminded “I know but I needed a personal knight for me during this game but I’ll still allow you to think outside of the challenges” Celeste explained “Very well but please pick Kyoko next okay?” Makoto suggested “Very well but only because you want to” Celeste said “Thanks” Makoto said Meanwhile on team six Shuichi knew who he wanted to pick “Let’s put Kaede on this team too” Shuichi said “Very well, anything for a friend just like you” Kaito said “Kaede, come on over!” Shuichi called out in an especially exaggerated loud tone A girl who heard her name then rushed over to Shuichi with a huge smile, she had blond hair with a bunch of music pins and wears a white blouse with a sleeveless purple shirt over it, a purple skirt with a bunch of music lines and words on it, purple socks with her school’s icon on top and gray sneakers “Thanks for choosing me Shuichi, I thought you'd forgotten about me!” Kaede said “Of course I didn’t, I mean, if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be here today and I never would’ve defeated the mastermind and stopped the other culprits even though it ended up with them dying” Shuichi explained “Wow! It seems like you went through a lot” Kaede said “Yeah, I even had a few friends supporting me wherever I meant, those being Keebo, Maki, Himiko and Tsumugi even though Tsumugi was the mastermind” Shuichi explained “That’s horrible, so I was wrong all along” Kaede realized in defeat “No you weren’t, I mean, the mastermind was in the room all along she just distracted herself and used Rantaro as bait in order to let the killing game continue” Shuichi explained “Are you serious?! Now that’s something I never wanted to experience! So I was tricked all along” Kaede said “Yeah but promise me you won’t do that again?” Shuichi asked “I promise” Kaede answered “Very well” Shuichi said Meanwhile on team 6 the trio were looking at the remaining cast as they began thinking before Sakura turned to his alliance members “Can Hina please join this team?” Sakura asked “Sure, Hina, come on stage!” Nekomaru suggested A brown girl named Hina who heard this then cheered as she rushed onto the stage, she had darker brown hair with the ponytail being pulled up and she had dark blue eyes, she even wore a white shirt and a red and white jacket, blue and white shorts, some bandages and band aid on the right leg and as for her shoes, they were bright green with white soles and when she arrived she hugged Sakura tightly “Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew you’d pick me!” Hina thanked “No worries Hina, I knew you were my friend my only friend at that but don’t worry I’m here now” Sakura said “Wait, did you say… Only friend?” Hina asked “Yeah, everyone else was partnered with somebody except for Byakuya, Hiro and Toko” Sakura explained “Of course they weren’t, I mean, it was all a misunderstanding, I mean we’re all friends, I’m sure that if you talk to any of them I’m sure they’d trust you, only… You are a bit scary to them, at least that’s what I believe” Hina explained “Is that so? Tell me why that is?” Sakura asked “I’m not sure but I think by the position you were sitting when you met any of them got them scared except for Toko who didn’t want to trust you at any point and hid herself” Hina explained “Right, I probably should fix that, thanks for telling me though” Sakura said “No worries, as long as you’re back and alive it’s fine” Hina explained “That’s a relief” Sakura said “Just promise me you won’t kill yourself again?” Hina asked “I promise” Sakura answered “Thanks” Hina said Meanwhile back at team one Angie called out “Himiko! Come on up!” Angie shouted A girl who heard that then rushed to the podium her friend stood on, she had short red hair covered with a witch’s hat on top with an orange tie tied around the bottom part and an hair clip and brown eyes, she also wears an black and red t-shirt with the top rolled showing the white part underneath, it was even underneath a black jacket that was closed over it with a metal pin on top, a red skirt, black leggings and brown shoes with the edge pulled up showing black parts underneath and when she arrived she hugged Angie tightly while sobbing “I missed you so much Angie! Never leave me again!” Himiko said between sobs “I won’t, I promise” Angie said The two continued to hug while Byakuya scoffed “Friends, tch, I don’t need it” Byakuya said in disbelief “Excuse me! Himiko’s a fan of Angie you know!” Tenko reminded “And who told you that?!” Byakuya asked angrily “The guy next door!” Tenko answered in disbelief, which got Byakuya confused “It was a lie to remind you that Himiko said it herself!” Tenko explained in disbelief “And you’re saying I should believe that?” Byakuya asked “Of course you should degenerate!” Tenko reminded angrily “I’m not a degenerate you stupid bitch!” Byakuya called out While they continued to argue Team 2 chose their next member “Can Taka join this team, Keebo?” Mondo asked “Sure, thing, Taka, come on up!” Keebo said After saying that a guy who had short black hair and red eyes and was named Taka rushed to Team 2, he had a white uniform with a red medal on top, a red and white wristband on the sleeve, white pants and black military boots “Thanks Mondo!” Taka thanked “No worries my dude, I know we can win this game if we work as a team!” Mondo said “I know what you mean” Taka said The screen then changed to Team 3 “Now if we can Gundham, come on over!” Sonia called out “Yes my sweet princess!” A guy named Gundham called out Afterwards, a guy who gray skin and darker gray hair with a bit of lighter gray sides ran over, he had a silver earring one and a scar across one eye, he wore a purple scarf over his neck, a white t-shirt with a purple symbol of some kind, black pants and darker black boots with multiple pants and over it he wore a black jacket with the inner parts showing a bit of red as the outside part of his black jacket had a lot of buttons “Ugh! Why is it always him?! I can be your boyfriend, can’t I?!” Kazuichi asked Gundham then got closer to Kazuichi and tapped his chest irritatingly “I want you to stop stalking my BF, if you do not, we’re gonna have a serious problem!” Gundham reminded Kazuichi who heard this threat then got worried “Whoa! Chillax my dude, I wasn’t stalking and even if it looked like I did, I didn’t mean to” Kazuichi said “Good because I have friends in heaven who can easily make your live much worse” Gundham said Kazuichi who knew what that meant then gulped a bit in fright before Gundham rushed over to Sonia as the two kissed in front of his face “This isn’t over Sonia, not yet, I will have you be my girlfriend no matter what it takes” Kazuichi said to himself meanwhile at a lucky team four Makoto turned to Kyoko and shouted “Kyoko, come over here!” Makoto called out Kyoko then walked over to the team “I knew you were gonna pick me but remember, we’re still gonna investigate these guys” Kyoko said “Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, but I just wanna focus on bringing hope to this game, I know this sounds suspicious but please, take a break, have some fun in this game and we can focus on this investigation later, okay?” Makoto asked “Yeah, yeah, very well, I’ll take a break but the moment something goes wrong I’ll investigate it” Kyoko said “Great, you got this Kyoko, I believe in you” Makoto said “Thanks Makoto” Kyoko thanked meanwhile in team  Meanwhile in Team 5 Kaede and Shuichi knew who they wanted to add, they might not know him a whole lot but they knew he’d be a good pick “Can we please have Leon Kuwata in this team?” Kaede asked “Sure, Leon, come and join this team” Kaede suggested After the guy named Leon heard that he rushed to the group, Leon had red hair and a goatee with a pin on top, gray eyes and wears a white t-shirt with red blood on top, a white jacket with a few zippers and buttons, a black belt with spikes that was a bit sideways, black pants and white sneakers with gray soles “Thanks for allowing me in the team” Leon thanked “No worries” Shuichi said “Yeah, you seem like a tough guy, I mean, you look like you’ve been in a competition, I’m sure you’d be a great winner” Kaede said Leon’s jaw then dropped before she shook his head and when he did he nervously and embarrassingly rubbed the back of his head “Could we please not talk about that?” Leon asked “Huh? Why not?” Shuichi asked “It’s kinda a long story actually” Leon answered embarrassingly “Very well, you don’t need to tell it if you don’t want to” Kaede said “Yeah, I agree, somethings might be a little embarrassing to speak of though, especially if you or your friend had a traumatic experience, especially for me so I get what you mean” Shuichi said “That’s a relief, thanks” Leon thanked “No worries, anything for you” Kyoko said Meanwhile on team six Hina had another idea “Let’s have Hiro join us?” Hina suggested “Why, he sounds really stupid” Nekomaru said “I know that he’s stupid but I’m sure that with his help we would win challenges“ Hina said “Very well, Hiro, come here” Sakura said A brown guy then got excited as he rushed over to his new team, he had brown hair which was all over the place with a tiny beard over his chin, a necklace around his neck and he wears a yellow t-shirt with a carton belt over his chest with a white jacket over it as a black jacket with buttons was laying over it without an arm put between, he had large black pants with an orange tie and wears black and brown sandals “Thanks for picking me, guys” Hiro thanked “No worries but don't make us regret it” Nekomaru ordered “I won't, I will win challenges just like Hercules and Sora did or was it Donald? No, wait, Goofy?” Hiro asked “I already regret picking him” Nekomaru said while pressing a finger on his head Meanwhile Team 1 was struggling to pick a member until Byakuya had an idea “How about we pick Nagito, I mean, we do need hope after all” Byakuya suggested The Goodbye Despair cast who heard that then gasped except for Nagito “I recommend you unchoose that choice, I mean, that guy is dangerous” Kazuichi asked “Chillax guys, I’ve faced much tougher foes before, especially with my trusted laser gun that has all kinds of abilities” Byakuya reminded “Very well, I hope you do not regret it” Akane said A guy with white hair and gray eyes then sighed in disbelief before turning to Akane, he wore a white t-shirt but this time the drawn colors were back, he had a gray jacket with a few red symbols, black pants and brown shoes with back shoes “Of course he would not, I mean, I’m the Ultimate Lucky Student after all” The guy named Nagito reminded “That is totally a lie but I won’t question it” Hajime said But Nagito didn’t listen as he approached the team’s sign “I can already hear some drama in my head” Akane said in disbelief “If that happens I’ll make sure he’s instantly eliminated” Byakuya said “Very well, if you say so” Akane said Team 2 then got an idea “Let’s pick Peko, she seems like a faithful fighter” Mondo suggested “Very well, Peko, come on up” Keebo said A girl with gray hair in braid pony tails, red eyes and glasses then went on stage, she had a gray t-shirt with a darker gray blouse over it whose edges were blowed pleated over a red tie and a black jacket with a Hope’s Peak icon, a dark gray skirt with two white stripes on the bottom, black leggings and brown shoes “Keebo, out of everyone, you’re picking the best team members for your team, who taught you that?” Peko asked “Well, a fellow friend and showbiz host taught me how to do it but I don’t recommend you meet him, he can be a bit… Dramatic at times” Keebo suggested Peko then got confused “Who if you don’t mind me asking?” Peko asked “Topher, it is said he’s a huge fan of Chris McLean and once even came to Equestria to help defeat a foe there during the duration of the reality show Chris and Celestia had here” Keebo explained “Wow, that does sound a bit dangerous but anyways, who’s next?” Peko asked “We are and we’d like to choose that avocado head!” Akane said A guy with green hair with a few spikes with an ahoge on top and green eyes heard that and looked down in sadness a bit, he wore a black necklace with a gray diamond of sorts hanging on it, he wore a white T-shirt with a blue blouse on top with lots of black stripes on it along with a black drawn compass on the bottom right, light gray pants and black shoes with white soles as a green haired guy turned to him “What’s wrong mister avocado?” The green haired guy asked “Nothing, it’s just, I don’t like being called avocado head” The green ahoge guy answered “Are you serious?! Why not?!” The green haired  guy asked “Because when I was young people always decided to bully me for my green hair, either calling me any vegetable with green on it or telling me I should be put in the trash” The green ahoge guy answered “Oh dear, I’m so sorry to hear that, I won’t be calling you avocado head anymore” The green haired guy answered “I know you won’t but it doesn’t change the fact that even my 10 sisters and parents call me that, it’s like nobody cares about my hair” The green ahoge guy explained “That’s horrible, did you tell anybody about it?” The green haired guy asked “I told my parents and sisters to stop, and luckily my sisters stopped calling me that except for my parents, it’s like I’m the hated child” The green ahoge explained sadly “What?! Are you serious?! I-I mean! I never experience that, even though I lived with two sisters one who died but the other cared more about me” The green haired guy said “Really?! How did she die?!” The green ahoge guy asked “I don’t know, all I know was that somebody killed him, those being either Mikan, Hiyoko, Sato, Ibuki or Mahiru” The green haired guy explained “I hope you find the killer soon” The green ahoge guy said “And I hope the avocado head trend is resolved” The green haired guy said The two then hugged it out before the green ahoge guy went on stage as Akane turned to him angrily “What took you so long avocado head?” Akane asked “Sorry I got memories from my past but it’s resolved and besides my name’s Rantaro Amami” Rantaro introduced “Oh my apologies” Akane said “It’s alright, but could you please stop calling me avocado head?” Rantaro asked “Why should I? I like it!” Akane answered “I know you do but I don’t, it brings back bad memories, trust me” Rantaro suggested “Very well” Akane said Meanwhile Makoto turned to Celeste “Could you please pick Sayaka?” Makoto asked “Sure, Sayaka, come on up!” Celeste called out Somebody then walked on stage, she had slightly white skin, dark blue hair, blue eyes and bright pink cheeks, she wore a darker blue t-shirt with the top part pleated on top of her white sailor’s outfit with a bright pink bow tie, a darker blue skirt, darker blue leggings and black shoes and when she went on stage she hugged Makoto “Thank you for picking me Makoto!” Sayaka thanked with a huge smile Kyoko then got mad as she angrily approached the duo and broke them up “Enough Sayaka! He’s my boyfriend!” Kyoko said angrily “No he’s not! He’s been in my school for at least 3 years and how long has he met you?! One or two weeks of course!” Sayaka reminded angrily “Objection!” Kyoko called out “Sayaka, I don’t think you remember but we’ve been in school for 4 years which makes it more than you!” Kyoko said angrily “Wrong! How much is 4 plus 3?” Sayaka asked angrily Kyoko who heard this then gasped in shock as somebody was heard calling out from the distance “Emotional Damage” Somebody called out “Still I knew Makoto way more than you!” Kyoko said “How come?!” Sayaka asked angrily “Do I need to remind you that you only spoke to Makoto during the killing game for at least 4 or 5 days until your death and I interacted with him way more?” Kyoko reminded angrily “That’s sus!” Sayaka said Makoto then approached the duo and broke it off “Enough girls, we’re not gonna do the same like that one reality show couple in Total Drama right? I mean, I’m not Duncan!” Makoto said “Duncan?” Kyoko asked “I mean, when I was dead you dated him so I should be the one being Courtney and you being Gwen” Sayaka suggested “Excuse me?! I’m not evil, you are with your terrifying mind readings!” Kyoko reminded “What?! I don’t have any terrifying mind reading, it was always just an intuition and it didn’t matter if it was true or not! And even if it was I would’ve kept it a secret, I’m not some super heroine or villain, am I?!” Sayaka asked angrily “So, you’re calling me suspicious aren’t you?! Makoto told me the truth of what you said and I knew you were dangerous! Are you a witch?!” Kyoko asked angrily “No I’m not and besides this isn’t the 13th century anymore Kyoko!” Sayaka reminded “We’ll talk about this later” Kyoko said Meanwhile another team continued to think until Kaede turned to Kaito “How about Chiaki” Kaede suggested “Sure, Chiaki, come on up!” Kaito said We then saw a girl with short gray like pink hair with a school’s hairpin on the head sleeping while standing straight, she wore a white t-shirt with a black middle part and a small pink bow tie, a white skirt and a black and gray jacket with a Hope’s Peak Academy icon on it, black socks and pink like gray shoes with white soles and when Princess Celestia saw that she began shaking her “Wake up Chiaki! You’re picked already!” Princess Celestia called out Chiaki then woke up “Wha— Huh— What are you talking about, I didn’t hear it” Chiaki reminded “Just go to team 5” Princess Celestia ordered “Which one is that again?” Chiaki asked Princess Celestia then groaned before teleporting Chiaki to it’s stage “Anyways, Team 6, you may pick your member next” Rainbow suggested “We pick Ryoma!” Gonta answered A guy with very short brown hair, a black hat with pointy edges and a tobacco then smiled in happiness, he wore a black and blue t-shirt with a black jacket with lots of buttons on it, black and blue pants with a few pockets and a chain, black shoes while a chain dangles from his left leg, his name was Ryoma “Thanks Gonta” Ryoma thanked The guy then approached the podium as Rarity could only look in disgust at Twilight “I don’t know why Twilight but that guy looks like he breaks some fashion codes” Rarity said “I don’t know Rarity but you should probably focus on who seems the most dangerous or bad and eliminate them off just like the Princesses did before” Twilight explained “Maybe you’re right, I’ll keep that in mind” Rarity said “Anyways team 1, you’re up once again” Twilight said “We’ve decided for Hajime” Nagito answered “What?! No we didn’t! And since when did I tell you you could choose contestants on your own?!” Toko asked “You didn’t but that’s just it, you should sometimes have a few other team members choose the people, I mean, other teams are doing so too” Toko explained “But that’s mostly by their leaders’ choice not them themselves so I say we do not—” Toko started Nagito who didn’t listen then turned to Hajime “Come on up Hajime dude, I can win this game with your help!” Nagito said A guy with bright brown hair and green eyes then went on stage, he wore a white t-shirt with one pocket with a dark green tie with some lighter green japanese words on top, black pants and white shoes with black details, he is Nagito’s friend Hajime “Weren’t you listening?!” Toko asked angrily “Uh… No I wasn’t but you wouldn’t let me choose!” Nagito answered “Are you serious right now?! If it were up to me you would be instantly eliminated!” Toko reminded angrily Nagito then began thinking “Are you sure, I heard some bird telling me you won’t be voting” Nagito explained “Are you serious?!” Toko asked angrily Toko then began groaning until Tenko puts a hand on his shoulder “Don’t listen to this male degenerate, we girls are way better at this, these boys will just get in the way” Tenko said “Yeah, maybe you’re right” Toko said Meanwhile in Team 2 Peko had an idea “Hey Keebo, could you please pick Fuyuhiko, he’s a very close master of mine” Peko said “Sure” Keebo answered before turning to the green haired guy named Fuyuhiko” Fuyuhiko, come on over” Keebo suggested Fuyuhiko then rushed on stage and hugged Peko while sobbing a bit “T-Thanks master, I knew you’d pick me and I’m sorry for interrupting your execution!” Fuyuhiko thanked while sobbing “While I’m not happy for your interference I accept your thanks young master, hope we can team up as long as we can during this game” Peko said “Of course we will I’m sure of it” Fuyuhiko said The two then hugged which caused everyone to let out sounds of awe until Rainbow fake gagged making everyone turn to her making her nervously turn to Team 3 “Team 3, pick your next member!” Rainbow suggested “We pick Kiyo” Akane said “I’m so happy you did” A guy then said Afterwards the group got nervous as the screen turned to show a guy with black hair, light green eyes and a black mask and white bandages on both arms, he wears a green hat with his school’s symbol on top, he wears a silver chain necklace over a green jacket with lots of buttons and pockets, green pants and brown and white shoes “I’m so happy you chose me miss” Kiyo said in a creepy tone “You shouldn’t have picked him, you shouldn’t have” Rantaro said in disbelief “Yep, I agree and I regret this decision” Akane said before turning to Princess Celestia “Can I choose somebody again?!” Akane asked worriedly “Nope, any choices you make are your final answers” Princess Celestia answered “Seriously?! Make this an exception, I’m not accepting this freak!” Akane said Kiyo then approached Akane “Come on Akane, calm down! I just want to chat! Don’t you want to meet my—” Kiyo started “Go away you freak!” Akane said Kiyo then chuckled a bit in a creepy tone “Why? Am I not trustworthy to you?” Kiyo asked Kazuichi then sighed in disbelief “Look, I know you want to make friends but this isn’t the way to do it, take it from me” Kazuichi said “And yet, you keep going!” Gundham reminded “That’s not true!” Kazuichi said Afterwards Team 3 began arguing with each other until Fluttershy called out… “ENOUGH! I know somebody might be a freak but that doesn’t mean you should fight or not trust him! Just give him a chance and Kiyo, be normal, any suspicious behavior will instantly boot you from the game!” Fluttershy reminded angrily “Very well, thanks for calming everyone down” Kiyo said “But this argument is caused by you so you should stop giving unnecessary thanks when you were the cause! Now apologize to Akane!” Twilight ordered “Very well” Kiyo said before turning to Akane “I’m sorry my dear” Kiyo apologized “Just Akane is fine but it’s alright just don’t do this again” Akane said “Very well” Akane said “Now, if no one has anymore interruptions we can go to Team 4” Princess Celestia said “Thanks because we’ve decided for Mahiru Koizumi” Celeste answered The screen then showed a girl with very short red hair, brown (barely gray) eyes, she even wears a white T-shirt with a red and white tie around the collar and puffy short sleeves, a brown dress with a short skirt and no sleeves, black socks and darker black shoes “I’m so happy you chose me, you won’t regret that choice” The girl named Mahiru said “Definitely, I mean, according to Byakuya you were a forceful contestant” Celeste explained “Yeah but that’s only if I’m pushed to the limit, if I’m not I can definitely be nice” Mahiru explained “That’s a relief” Celeste said in relief “We pick mr. question mark” Chiaki said “Uh, who’s that? I don’t know any question mark” Monokuma said “I thought you planned every contestant, did you forget one?” The rabbit asked angrily “I think he’s speaking about me, after all, I lied about my name being Byakuya, when I woke up I got a few disgusting glares from a few of my past participants so I’m assuming they figured it out” A voice then said The group then turned to a fat guy with bright blonde hair, silver glasses and blue eyes, he wears a white vest with a few buttons and a cross like piece in black with a white jacket on top, white pants and white shoes “Why did you steal my name?!” Byakuya asked angrily “Byakuya, we’ve talked about it before, remember?” Makoto asked “Yes but I still hated that choice so I wanted to ask him!” Byakuya answered angrily “Guys, I know what I did was wrong but give me another chance, I’ll even give myself a different name and talent” The guy suggested “How about you’ll be called Dave and be the Ultimate Shapeshifter, I mean, it does count, right?!” Pinkie asked The group then turned to Pinkie before thinking until Starlight turned to them “For once I agree with her thoughts, I mean, we don’t know his name so until it gets revealed he’ll be called Dave just like somebody was when they were found dead back in Earth, I heard that story on the newspaper back in my old town” Starlight said “Very well, from now on, you’re called Dave but please, introduce yourself as fast as possible so we can know your name more” Princess Celestia suggested “Of course Princess, I will” Dave said “Very well, take your place on the podium now” Princess Celestia suggested “Yes ma’am” Dave said Dave then walked to his new podium as team 6 began thinking until they figured it out “Ibuki, I know that I don’t know you a lot but could we please team up?” Nekomaru asked “Sweet!” A girl answered A girl then rushed towards the podium in excitement, she had black and purple hair with multiple spikes and black and purple horns, purple eyes, she had three pins near the lower left part of her lip and a black and white necklace, she wore a dark white t-shirt with a double circle on the top center and a dark white sailors outfit with a purple tie underneath the collar, a black skirt with spikes, pink socks with multiple holes and white sneakers “Very well, it seems you all need one more member so let’s get to it” Princess Celestia said “Excuse me miss, can we switch members afterwards” Akane asked “Are we still going with that disagreement, please just trust him” Princess Celestia suggested “But I’m afraid that if I do he’ll begin stalking me” Akane said worriedly “Chillax Akane, it’s not like he’s a stalker or anything unless you’re speaking of Fluttershy’s brother” Rainbow explained “HEY! My brother’s no stalker, he’s just doing dumb stuff to you!” Fluttershy said “It looks like stalking to me!” Rainbow said Fluttershy then sighed in disbelief “Nevermind that, just continue with your final picks” Fluttershy suggested Toko then looked at the final 6 “Hmm, I dunno, they’re all pretty bad” Toko said “Come on, just pick” Princess Celestia suggested “But Mikan looks like a pig, Junko caused us to get stuck in a killing game while Mukuro was her accomplice, that purple haired guy looks like he’s gonna lie to us, Hiyoko is rude and I don’t want any cosplayers” Toko explained “Oh come on, just choose!” Rainbow suggested Toko then sighed in defeat “Very well, the cosplayer is the least horrible I guess” Toko said The girl named Tsumugi then smiled in happiness, she had slightly dark blue hair, gray eyes and silver glasses, she wore a white t-shirt with an orange bow tie with a darker blue jacket on top and a dark blue skirt with a dark blue belt on top, she even wore darker blue socks and gray shoes “Thanks Toko, I knew you’d pick your idol” Tsumugi said “Idol?!” The others asked in shock and disbelief “Yes, Idol, in fact, I’m a fan of each and every killing game contestant through the ages” Tsumugi answered “Just wondering but for how many years did the killing games exist?” Makoto asked “Uhh… There were 53 killing games so… At least 96 years which means it is now the year 2110” Tsumugi answered “Are you serious?! When will they stop?!” Sonia asked “Well, according to some people it didn’t end and many people whether they’re the OG Danganronpa creators or not have made multiple fangames, fangans, instaronpa’s and lot’s more and many of them are with new fresh hosts, especially with characters they know and love or with original characters” Ibuki said before winking at the camera “How do you know all that Ibuki?” Twilight asked “I have absolutely no idea!” Ibuki answered with a beaming smile “I don’t think this is something to smile at Ibuki” Hajime said Twilight then cleared her throat “Nevermind that let’s just continue on with team two” Twilight suggested The screen then changed to Team 2 where Keebo began thinking before he had an idea “I pick Junko Enoshima” Keebo answered After saying that the OG survivors turned to Keebo’s team in shock and shouted…: “OH NO YOU DIDN’T” The six called out in shock “What’s wrong with her?” Keebo asked “Let’s just say she’s one of the worst people to ever compete with, especially since she created the worst game ever” Makoto explained “Objection!” Ibuki called out causing the group to turn to her “She actually created the most amazing game according to most people” Ibuki explained “Most people means not us OG competitors” Makoto said “Yeah, Tsumugi explained that we were ones ‘fans’ but I don’t exactly believe it myself” Shuichi said “Huh? That’s weird? I don’t remember her saying that” Kaede realized “Well, that’s because it was when you already died, basically the final trial which was also a retry case for Rantaro, guess we all got tricked” Himiko explained “We did, if so Gonta not happy at Tsumugi” Gonta explained angrily A girl who heard this discussion then smiled as she turned to Tsumugi, that girl was the same one that caused the most tragic event in human history, she had bright pink (almost beige) like hair with two Monokuma pins on it, one white and one black, she wore a black and white jacket with a black and white tie over it, a short pink pants and dark black shoes “Well, thanks for the help Tsumugi, you’re my newest best friend from now on” Junko thanked “No worries Junko, anything for my biggest idol” Tsumugi said “Are you serious?!” The entire cast except Monokuma, Monomi and the Monokubs gasped in shock and disbelief “Let’s ignore that for now” Twilight suggested “Good idea, team 3 you’re up” Celestia said “We pick Mikan Tsumiki, I mean, she’s one of the few people being bullied a whole lot and we want to help her” Akane explained The girl named Mikan then looked in shock at what she heard as we saw she had dark purple hair, gray eyes and she also has a bandage on her right arm and left leg along with a bandaid on the right and she wore a pink nurses T-shirt with puffy sleeves and a white apron with two red stripes and a pink skirt “Really?!” Mikan asked in shock and disbelief “Of course and don’t let anyone say you have bad luck” Akane said Mikan then rushed to Akane and hugged her “Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the bestest friend I could ever ask for!” Akane thanked “Very well, three members left, who’s up?” Applejack asked “Well, Mahiru wanted to help Hiyoko as much as she could so we pick Hiyoko” Celeste answered Hiyoko who heard that then smiled as she approached her team “Yes! Thank you so much bitches!” Hiyoko thanked excitedly “Uh… I don’t think you should be saying that Hiyoko, you are only a child” Shuichi said “A child?! Of course not! How could you say that! I’m 20 years old! Or at least that’s what I think” Hiyoko said “Trust me Shuichi, she may look like a child but in the real world pre killing game she looked like an adult, I just don’t know how that happened” Hajime said “Huh? Very well, thanks Hajime” Shuichi thanked “No worries, if you need anything else just let me know” Hajime suggested “Alright, will do” Shuichi said But after this choice the last two horrible contestants were next “Shit! We’re stuck with two horrible contestants!” Leon said “Yep, one who lies and the other who was the traitor of your game, so who do you pick Leon?” Kaito asked “Hmm, I’m sorry but I’d rather pick the liar than the traitor, I don’t think I can trust any traitors from my past game” Leon said Nekomaru then sighed in disbelief “Sorry guys but it looks like we’re stuck with some traitor of Hina’s game” Nekomaru said “I’m sure she ain’t all that bad, I mean, she looks like some soldier of some kind surely she doesn’t—” Ryoma started A white skinned girl with black hair and gray eyes then went on stage, she wore a white jacket with a pocket, some buttons and a red bowtie on top, brown pants, dark blue like gray socks and black shoes “Yep, she does look like a killer” Gonta said in shock “Yikes, I’m not gonna be able to win against her” Ryoma said Meanwhile at the lucky team 5 a guy walked on the podium with a bright smile, he had white skin, dark purple hair, he wore a white jacket with lots of buttons and pockets on it and a black and white scarf laid was thrown over the neck, he had white pants with white belts on the middle of the knees and black shoes “Why, thanks for picking me guys, you won’t regret it” Kokichi said “Gee thanks” Kaito said sarcastically “But while you’re on this team you’ll have to listen to Kaito, if you make one mistake, we’ll forward it to the hosts!” Maki reminded angrily “Yeah, yeah, I know, I know but when have I ever made a terrible mistake?” Kokichi asked “Nevermind” Maki said Afterwards Princess Celestia went to the front with the other hosts “Alright, it seems like the teams are finished making so now let’s get a few things out of the way” Princess Celestia said “Really?! What’ll it be, places where we’ll be staying?! What the confessionals will be like! Or, or, will it be how the eliminations will work?!” Ibuki asked “You’ve got a very good brain Ibuki but first we’ll be talking about your teams, the teams you choose are all references to certain Young Six members, each one is who we’re friends with” Fluttershy explained “We may be their teachers but eh, whatever fits for you” Rainbow said “Yes and we’ve named them all by your team preparations you made” Applejack explained “So, whatever team name we got references the ideas of how our teams worked?” Kyoko asked “Correct, let’s give Team 1 for example, that team has mostly brainless believers, grumpy people and of course idols thus we’re calling this team ‘The Grumpy Griffons’!” Pinkie answered “Gee, thanks for calling me and Himiko brainless believers” Himiko thanked sarcastically “Don’t taunt me, taunt Monokuma, he named the team names in the first place” Pinkie explained “Very well, who’s next?” Akane asked “Well, team 2 is mostly made up of people with dreams and such so that’s why we’d like to call this team ‘The Dreaming Hippogriffs’” Fluttershy answered “That’s such a colorful name” Junko said “I agree for once” Miu said “Though this doesn’t fit me nor master does it?” Peko asked “Of course it doesn’t, I wanted something more serious!” Fuyuhiko answered “Team 3 is mostly made up of people with suspicious behaviors thus we’ll call them ‘The Suspicious Dragons’! After all, most of the dragons we’ve met were very mean or suspicious, except for Spike, Ember and Smolder of course!” Pinkie explained “Well, it does fit Kiyo though” Akane said “And Kazuichi if you don’t mind me saying” Gundham said “We’re not suspicious!” Kazuichi and Kiyo called out “Team four mostly references the kinds of stuff castles would have thus we’re calling you ‘The Royale Changelings’ with an ‘E’ so nobody thinks you’re royal” Pinkie answered “Of course, it fits me and my choices” Celeste said “Why am I believing you played the game and Monokuma didn’t decide it?” Makoto asked “Well, uh…” Pinkie started nervously “Let’s ignore that for now Makoto” Twilight said “Okay because I definitely did not want to be a knight just yet” Makoto said “You had the time to think about it” Celeste said “I’m sorry Makoto, if I knew this would’ve happened I would’ve easily eliminated you” Kyoko said “It’s alright Kyoko, I understand” Makoto said “Ugh! Did you seriously need to steal the spotlight again Kyoko?!” Sayaka asked “Are we gonna start the argument again?!” Kyoko asked angrily “Now the fifth team is full of friendly members except for a few thus making them ‘The Friendly Ponies” Pinkie announced “That’s the name we’re willing to have!” Shuichi said “And finally for the last team, it is full of brains except for a minor miscalculation thus the team’s called ‘The Powerful Yaks’!” Pinkie called out “Guess that will have to do” Sakura said “Now that the teams are made and named, what’s next?” Makoto asked “How your confessionals will work, I mean that’s way more important than anything else” Princess Celestia said “Yes and we’ve decided to have Monokuma explain it!” Rarity explained “Thank you Rarity, so if any of you have a confessional you’d want to talk to you can use your thoughts to bring you to what looks like a trial room but instead is one singular box that doesn’t have a door and there you can enter the trial podium where you can tell your thoughts” Monokuma explained “Let’s have Pinkie give you an example” Twilight suggested “Okay!” Pinkie said Pinkie then began thinking before a door appeared where Pinkie rushed in as Twilight teleported a screen as Pinkie was seen in what looks like a sugar rush trial room Pinkie Pie’s Confessional: “Hi Twilight, I’m live and I’m the best host to ever live!” Pinkie said Pinkie then rushed out as the other contestants could only look in weirdness “It might look weird but this is how it’ll work just don’t use it to say disgusting stuff like ‘I have killed x!’ doing so will block you from your confessional for a day” Applejack said “In other words it means you can’t use confessionals anymore!” Rainbow said “Dang! And I was thinking of roasting Makoto for his failure to stop the killing games!” Kokichi said in defeat “Are you serious?! I did stop them, you just didn’t notice!” Makoto said “Then how come there’s still tons of killing games happening without your watch?” Kokichi asked “Well, I’m gonna stop them as soon as possible!” Makoto said “Too late because I’m sure everyone’s hypnotized by the games me and my fellow co-hosts hosted!” Monokuma said “Shit!” Makoto said in defeat “Anyways, you might be wondering where you’ll be staying aren’t you all?” Princess Celestia asked “Of course we are!” Akane said “Well, that’s just it, you’ll all be staying in Ponyville, the place where Twilight’s home is, me and the co-hosts have given you all a home for you to stay in during your game, there are 6 of them, each corresponding to your teams and thanks to your choices and Twilight and Starlight’s magic your stuff have been separated into your respective rooms so all you need to do now is find them and use them however you wish, also for the assassins or anyone else that have weapons in their rooms, do not use them to kill somepony, doing so will get you eliminated from the game” Celestia reminded “Yes Princess!” The group said “Now about the elimination, none of you will be voting someone home, nor will we do it, the votes will be decided by our fellow viewers at home, all of them even if one or two of them aren’t fans of the games or animes” Rainbow said “So, does that mean all of us will be at risk of elimination?” Ibuki asked “Yes, though, there will be some exceptions which go from having somebody do something really dumb to having somebody be hurt” Princess Celestia explained “Yes and after 48 hours of voting on all three sites the story will be on whether it be Wattpad, Fimfiction or Ao3 the next Episode will come out and the two players with the most votes will be eliminated which means it’s a give or take for all of them!” Pinkie explained “Though I doubt this has ever happened on either story so don’t question if it happened or not, I mean, this is all unclear, even to us” Rainbow explained “Any questions?” Twilight asked Shuichi then pulled his hand up “Where will the elimination take place?” Shuichi asked “Well, we have decided on letting the elimination take place in the ballroom of the Canterlot Castle which means those with the least votes will at least have experienced a ballroom “Well, I didn’t want a ballroom” Maki said “Where did you want them then, Miss assassin?” Monosuke asked “Anywhere else that was not a ballroom but whatever is chosen is fine too” Maki answered “I also have one question, what will we get when the eliminations happen?” Akane asked “Cupcakes and for those that have diabetes we have something way less sugary planned for you” Celestia said “Alright” Sayaka said “Very well, if no one has any questions we can now go to Ponyville and when we arrive you may do what you wish whether it be roam around, making harmless pranks and such” Applejack said “Yes and we’ll see you when the challenge begins” Celestia said After saying that the group began walking towards the Friendship Express where they buyed a few tickets before they waited before entering as lots of ponies got confused on how many humans were in the train as Himiko could only look at them with starry eyes until Angie approached her “Hey Himiko, are you okay?” Angie asked Himiko then shook her head before turning to Angie “Yeah I’m fine, I’m just trying not get too excited when seeing ponies” Himiko explained “I know you’re a huge fan about ponies but once you feel the need to explode and greet them do so” Angie said “Of course” Himiko said before she began thinking for a moment before turning to Angie “Hey Angie, I was just wondering but… Did you know me before the killing game?” Himiko asked Angie then got confused “No, what makes you think that?” Angie asked “I’m not sure, I’m just wondering because… What if we met before the killing game and we don’t even know about it!” Himiko explained “I get what you mean and I kinda have to agree, maybe we all knew each other without the fake memories or with the fake memories but I’m afraid that’s difficult to answer” Angie explained “Yeah, I get what you mean, thanks Angie, I knew you would say that, especially with your knowledge of Atua” Himiko thanked “It’s alright Himiko, I always do or say whatever I want once Atua feels like it” Angie explained “Does Atua sometimes feel worried about what you’re about to say?” Himiko asked “Hmm, that’s difficult to answer, I’m sure that sometimes Atua might suggest something I wouldn’t like or the opposite but once we get an agreement I always do it for him” Angie answered “Cool! I just wish I had someone just like him!” Himiko said Meanwhile at another part of the train Kazuichi was fiddling with his fingers and thinking on how to get Sonia’s attention until she noticed Sayaka sitting next to him which made him turn to her “Hey Sayaka” Kazuichi greeted Sayaka then turned around in confusion “Hey Kazuichi, what’s up? Do you need some love advice?” Sayaka asked “Yeah, how’d you know?” Kazuichi asked “Oh it’s nothing weird, I’m just psychic” Sayaka answered “Wait what?!” Kazuichi asked in shock and disbelief “I’m just kidding, I just have amazing intuition” Sayaka answered “Oh” Kazuichi said in relief “You had me scared for a moment” Kazuichi said Sayaka then began chuckling a bit “My bad, my bad, so is there a girl you like?” Sayaka asked “Yeah, I kinda have a crush on Sonia but she loves Gundham a lot and doesn’t give me the time of day” Kazuichi answered “I understand what you mean, the same happened to me back at my old school, I thought Makoto had a crush on somebody else and didn’t give me the time of day but that wasn’t true he did give me a chance before I took that chance and backstabbed him in the back only to get killed” Sayaka explained “Really?! Did you feel horrible about that?” Kazuichi asked “Yeah and when I returned from the death from this game it was already too late and he began dating Kyoko, somebody who I’m now beginning to hate just for that” Sayaka explained “The same goes for me and Gundham but Sonia still wouldn’t listen to me!” Kazuichi explained “I’m sure she does care about you, she’s just happy that Gundham is back, she must just be mad that you kept trying to get her attention to the point where she targetted you and called you a stalker” Sayaka explained “But after Gundham died she still didn’t speak to me for a while, she didn’t even tell me her feelings, I think she has a crush on somebody else outside this game” Kazuichi explained sadly “Are you sure, it feels like you still talked to her?” Sayaka asked Kazuichi then sighed in disbelief “Fine! I talked to her after the game but that was just for a moment besides I’m sure she doesn’t have a crush on me” Kazuichi said “Why don’t we talk to her together” Sayaka suggested “A-Are you sure? What if she’s angry at me again?” Kazuichi asked “She won’t, I’m sure of it, come on” Sayaka said The two then approached Gundham and Sonia who began kissing as ponies could only look in disgust “Hey Sonia, can we talk?” Sayaka asked Sonia who heard that then let’s go of Gundham and turned to Sayaka only to see Kazuichi with her “Why do you want me to speak with him?! I mean, he was being rude to me!” Sonia reminded “No I wasn’t, I mean, I was just admiring you and wanted to join your team so I could help your beauty face get to the finish line” Kazuichi explained “Are you serious right now?! Are you trying to steal my girl?!” Gundham asked angrily Sonia then turned to Gundham “Calm down Gundham, let me handle it” Sonia suggested “Fine but if something goes wrong let me know!” Gundham suggested “Of course my dear, later!” Sonia said before she went to sit up as she followed the two to another spot where she turned to them angrily “So, what is it you two wanted to speak to me about?” Sonia asked angrily “Kazuichi wanted to speak to you and before you tell me you ‘don’t want to talk’ to him, I’m sure he has a good reason for it, just give it a shot” Sayaka suggested “Are you sure?” Sonia asked “Yes, though I will be standing close by in case something goes wrong” Sayaka said “Okay” Kazuichi said Sayaka then went to the side as Kazuichi rubbed the back of his head nervously while Sonia gave a distrusting look “Is there something you wanted to say…?” Sonia asked “Well—” Kazuichi started Just then the horn was heard blowing “Finally!” Sonia said before turning to Kazuichi “I didn’t know you wanted to distract me from my crush so you could think of getting me with you, you are such a failure!” Sonia said angrily Sonia then walked off as Kazuichi called out “Sonia, wait!” Kazuichi called out But it was too late, Sonia was already gone as Kazuichi fell to the ground sobbing as Sayaka got worried as she approached Kazuichi before helping him off the ground “Don’t worry Kazuichi, you’ll get another chance soon” Sayaka said “I don’t think so, I mean, she pretty much hates me now” Kazuichi said “Don’t worry, we can try again later, now, let’s go to our house and get some money, afterwards I can help you calm down” Sayaka said “Alright, let’s go then” Kazuichi said Kazuichi Soda’s Confessional: “To be fair Sayaka is really kind right now, I’m sure that even if Sonia and I never sort things out Sayaka might be a great friend to have but for now I should focus on my relationship with Sonia” The group then went out of the friendship express and afterwards into Ponyville where they begin looking at the sights until Rainbow turned to them “Anyone who wants a tour of this place may follow me and the other hosts, the others may go to their hotels for now and get some rest, we’ll meet back up in a few hours for the challenge” Rainbow said The group then splitted up as Applejack gave a few of those that didn’t want to go get a tour some maps of Ponyville before she left with the others as Byakuya watched everyone split up alongside Toko before he turned to her which Toko noticed “W-W-What’s up Byakuya?” Toko asked “I just wanted to know if you still have this alter ego of yours and if you do, when did you last activate her?” Byakuya asked “A-A f-f-few months a-ago of c-course but it’s n-nothing to be a-afraid of” Toko answered “Hmm, okay” Byakuya asked “W-Why’d you ask?” Toko asked “Just wondering, I mean, I was willing on joining you to Canterlot in the upcoming hours to give the mosts more protection in case she comes out” Byakuya asked “A-Are you sure?” Toko asked “Yeah, but it’s just for the hosts, not you” Byakuya answered Toko Fukawa’s Confessional: “S-Seems like B-Byakuya still d-doesn’t t-trust me but that d-doesn’t stop me from asking him to bring me on a d-d-date” After a while the tour was complete as Hiyoko and Mahiru went on their way to their rooms they just saw “So Hiyoko, what did you think of the tour?” Mahiru asked “It was okay, the only two exceptions were that there were a lot of colorful ponies which made my head spin and that ugly pig” Hiyoko answered “I have a question Hiyoko” Mahiru said “Very well, what’s that question?” Hiyoko asked “Why do you keep bullying Mikan, she didn’t do a thing to you did she?” Mahiru asked “Ugh! I know but she just looks ugly, okay! If you mention this one more time we’re gonna have an argument!” Hiyoko said angrily Afterwards Hiyoko went into the wrong house and slammed the door as Mahiru could only look in worry Mahiru Koizumi: “I feel worried for Hiyoko, sure there’s a bunch of good ponies around here but Hiyoko is making those good ponies sad, I should do something before things go awry… Maybe I should go chat with Kirumi, she might know what to do” Mahiru then went down the streets in search for Kirumi only to find her applying for a job “What are you doing Kirumi?” Mahiru asked “Oh nothing, just applying for a job so I can get some money, you know, we need them when we stay here” Kirumi reminded “True but if our money are all used we could always ask for some new ones” Mahiru reminded “I know but I didn’t want to get some money and let it go to waste from the princess’ hooves, that’s why I’m doing this job, I’m doing this for a limited time, I told them all about the game and the chance I might go out but it’s fine they said” Kirumi said “Very well, if you say so” Mahiru said “Now, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?” Kirumi asked “Well, let’s just say I’m friends with Hiyoko but she’s being really rude to everypony here” Mahiru answered “She is?” Kirumi asked “Yeah and I don’t know how to solve it” Mahiru explained “Hmm, that sure is a tough one to figure out, do you know what caused her to be this way?” Kirumi asked “No I don’t and you are helpful to everyone else so I thought you could’ve helped” Mahiru answered “Don’t worry Mahiru, I know what you could do” Kirumi said “What is it?” Mahiru asked “Once somebody was mean to one of my co workers I went to their house and taught them a bit about discipline, maybe she needs that” Kirumi said “I’m not sure she would want that, what if she gets more angry or starts to hate me?” Mahiru asked “In case that happens cut your friendship off and see what happens, maybe that could learn her some discipline and the consequences of her actions” Kirumi explained “I’ll keep that in mind, thanks” Mahiru thanked “No worries” Kirumi said Afterwards we saw Kokichi and Kaito walking down the Ponyville streets as Kokichi turned to Kaito “Are you serious Kaito?! I thought you liked me?!” Kokichi asked in anger “I’m sorry, when did I say that?!” Kaito asked angrily Kokichi then gasped in shock “What do you mean with that? Are you saying you don’t trust me all that much?” Kokichi asked “Of course not dumbass, your lies are making me irritated, other people too so if you mention that you and I have any relationships we’re gonna have a problem!” Kaito said angrily “K-Kaito…?” Kokichi asked “Now leave and be quiet, I don’t want any lying souls next to me” Kaito ordered Kokichi then began sobbing a bit before rushing off Kaito Momota’s Confessional: “I know, I know, I was being harsh but somebody had to put Kokichi in his place and besides I planned on killing Kokichi all along during the second to last trial just don’t tell anybody since nobody knows about it” After an hour or three later the group met back up in front of the Everfree Forest with some people giving dirty glances at each others while others looked at the hosts approaching them “Hello everypony, er… Everybody, welcome to your first challenge” Applejack introduced “What’s the first challenge of the day, hosts?” Akane asked “Well, thanks for asking, the first of two challenges you’re going to do is an DIY challenge, very much inspired by Rarity’s DIY abilities” Twilight explained “Of course you might get a little dirty which I didn’t like but thanks to my friends I agreed with it, especially with one more challenge coming up” Rarity explained “That’s correct Rarity, your challenge will be to make your own Element of Harmony but only with the stuff laid in the Everfree Forest” Spike explained “Spike’s right, your challenge will be to run all around the Everfree Forest and together you have to face a ton of challenges in there, there’s a few boards with explanations on how each challenge will work” Rainbow explained “She’s right, there’s also a few whistles stylized to ring somepony to you, so if you have any problems just blow the whistle and we’ll come and help you” Applejack said “Yep, and each whistle is colored as one of us so whoever blows a whistle during one of the challenges will be allowed to get help from me or my friends, though, doing so will make you lose one necessary ingredient for the Element so you’ll have to watch out for what ingredient it is!” Pinkie said “Correct, also we suggest you stay on the path because if you go out of the path you might find yourself lost and endangered with some creatures so be careful for that” Twilight suggested “Yes, now, get ready, get set…” Fluttershy started “WAIT!” Pinkie suddenly called out The group then turned to each other in shock and confusion “Thanks Pinkie as we’ve run out of time for this Episode which means your challenge will start next Episode!” Princess Celestia said “Oh come on!” The group called out “Geez, be happy this is not a one hour Episode but anyways, roll the credits!” Pinkie called out
