//------------------------------// // Class Trial 5: Chapter 4 // Story: Dangan RomPonya // by Serenade-Stereo //------------------------------// "It's you Nimbus!" The pointed at the purple unicorn that gave no reaction the accusation. "...it's me? You claim that I, Nimbus Darkness...am the culprit in Hammer Head's murder? I will grant you that in the scenario that you came up with, it would make sense for me to be the culprit but you have yet to give any evidence of this scenario being the one that happened...am I wrong?" "M-Mr Darkness....he would never kill another!" Orion objected straight after. "My thanks, Orion, but I can handle this on my own" Orion seemed stunned by Nimbus's tone with her. "Now, Serenade, be honest with us all right now. The only reason you believe I am the culprit is because you don't want to execute B or Samurai...am I wrong?" "...you're...you're partially right, I don't want to pronounce Samurai or B guilty...but do you think I want to do that to anyone here?!" "Feh, you're starting to let rage control your head, calm yourself or I shan't even acknowledge your arguments." "Hey!" Grimdark intervenes. "You're being accused! You should at least try and defend yourself." "Shut up, changeling." "Wha-?!" "Your opinion on the matter is invalid, if you actually escaped, you'd be arrested on the spot." "...I could always pose as you, after we take your head clean off!" "Your head would be coming off to, for I am not the culprit." Nimbus smirks. "M-Mr Darkness...this is not like you." "Didn't I tell you to stay out of this? Learn to listen!" Orion's eyes widened and her face went to something nobody here had seem from her. Pure anger. "You...you....FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!!!" Everyone was instantly caught off guard by Orion's personality turn-around. "All this time in here with you, had that meant nothing to you, you ungrateful fucking swine?!" "O-Orion, clam down" Samurai attempted. "Shut the fuck up before I shove that practice sword up your ass!" She yelled at him. "N-nyah..." Samurai flinched at the thought. "Now, let me make one thing very...very...very clear. The culprit is not Nimbus" Orion says. "But, even after what he said to you, you're still going to defend him?" B asked her. "Yes. It must simply be the pressure of the accusation that's making him act like this" Orion gives a messed up smile. "W-well...we sound discuss this a bit more, right? We can never be to sure...." Olive says. "Hmmm....true, true, true." Orion agrees. Damn, who knew Orion had this kind of side to her? I'd better tread lightly if I find anything wrong in her statements.... Non-Stop Debate Evidence Bullets -Samurai's Testimony -Wallpaper -Hammer's Testimony -Olive's Theory -Pulley System Orion- Clearly, Nimbus is not the culprit. Am I right? Like he said, there is no evidence of this scenario being the one that happened. Beau- That may be true...but there's the possibility of this being the correct events. Orion- Well show some proof! Grimdark- Obviously....the culprit hid behind the door...and Nimbus has the right shape to do so... Orion- Well so does, Serenade! You can't use that as evidence! I still fail to find any proof of his guilt. Olive- ...well...there may have been something that happened...that only Nimbus could have done... Agreed! "There is something that happened that only Nimbus could have done...remember what Hammer said?" -------- "I remember going to the cafeteria kitchen, and feeling something hit me...I woke up later but couldn't move anything...I heard a noise and, everything went black...oh! Also, I saw someone go into the kitchen but when I entered, nobody was there...the kitchen is really small and there's only one door and no windows so I don't know where they escaped to..." --------- "The attacker disappeared from a tiny room with one door...who could have possibly pulled that off...?" Serenade said, rather smugly for his standards. "Ur..." Nimbus tapped the stand annoyingly. "O-okay...so I attacked and strung up Hammer, big deal!" "Big deal?!" Olive yelled at him. "Hello? You just confessed to killing Hammer!" "Wrong! You still haven't shown me proof of this scenario being the correct one!" "There is no proof..." Beau says. "W-what?" B looks at her. "Well, we don't have any proof do we? We have evidence that is circumstantial at best...and I'm talking about the words of a deceased pervert..." "She...she's got a point. And that doesn't really show us what scenario is the right one...." Olive admits. "So what do you expect us to do?!" Grimdark yells. "We have Samurai, B or Nimbus! What are we supposed to do..." His voice started to go smaller. "Grimdark...who do you think it is...? Truthfully." Beau asks him. "Wha-...? Why are you-?" "Just tell me." "...I...I think it was...Samurai or B..." "Whaaaaaa?!" B squealed. "Seriously?!" Samurai agave an angry look at Grimdark. "I don't like saying it but...to me, that seems logical...I've been trying to think outside the box with this yet I can't think of anything..." Think...outside the box? Wait...I've been thinking of evidence that proves Nimbus is the culprit... "What if we use the evidence to prove that Samurai and B aren't the culprits instead?!" "I don't understand...isn't proving Nimbus as the culprit also proving Samurai and B aren't?" Olive points out. "Yes...but we don't have direct evidence...but what if we do it indirectly like last time. By proving Samurai and B aren't the culprits, we indirectly prove that Nimbus is!" "Urk..." Nimbus grunts. "And of course...there's only one way to do that, right Serenade?" Beau says. "Of course..." I'm ready to wrap this whole thing up, once and for all! I cannot allow this! Everyone turned to Orion. "Stop this madness! How many FUCKING times do I need to tell you that Nimbus ain't the culprit?!" "Orion, please! Just-" "You know the rules, Serenade, if you want to talk, use the evidence!" She isn't going to let this end unless I go head-to-head with her...dammit Orion...why can't you just see the truth?! Cross Swords Evidence Blades -Hammer's Testimony -Olive's Theory -Samurai's Testimony -Overhead Hook -Hammer's Spanner Orion- You expect me to just sit idly by and watch you accuse Nimbus like that without any direct evidence of his guilt?! I know Nimbus better than any of you here so I know for a fact that Nimbus is more innocent than any of you here! Serenade- Orion, please, just listen to what I have to say Orion- I will not! Until you can show me real proof of Nimbus's guilt, I won't listen to anything that you have to say! I won't let you proceed since Nimbus couldn't have just set everything up like that! I'll cut that claim into pieces! "Actually, anyone here could have done so, this murder was premeditated after all" "Where would you get that impression?" Orion asked. "Olive gave me her theory on what she thought happened and I actually came to the same conclusion, you can't hold all of those weapons and not be seen by anyone, even if you are the Super High School Level Ninja!" "Ur...." Orion frowned. "Alright...now, Serenade, if you would..." Beau asked him again. Now it's time...time to finally bring this class trial to a close!
