Final Class Trial: Chapter 5

"It's really been you...B Positive!"

"Huueeee?!" B yelped. "M-me?!"

"M-Ms Positive is the mastermind?!" Orion asked quickly. "T-that is impossible!"

"Think about it! B doesn't do much in the way of talking, helping or just downright anything, right? She's always in the shadows...just like the mastermind has been!"

"Hwawawa?!" B yelped again. "H-how can you say that, Serenade? I thought we were friends?"

"I wish I could say that I thought we were...you were the first one out of all the students that I properly got to talk to...I did think you were my friend, but in actuality...you've been deceiving us all along!"

"N-n-n-n-no! It's not true!"

B- P-please believe me...I'm not the mastermind!

Beau- To be honest...I have to say that Serenade does have a solid argument...

B- Wh-wha...?

Grimdark- Are you saying...There's evidence to support Serenade's claim?!

Digital- I-Impossible...

Beau- Is it really that impossible to believe?

Orion- Are you perhaps suggesting that you found evidence of Ms Positive's guilt?

Agreed!

"That's true...Beau has yet to present the tape recorder that she has!"

"Oh...so you know about that?" Beau asked in surprise.

"Orion saw you with it during the investigation. What was on the tape recorder?"

"Well, if you must know, it turns out it's not a tape recorder...it's a receiver."

"Receiver?" Olive repeated.

"It was connected to one of the other rooms in the school...the headmaster's room."

"Isn't that a locked room though?" Grimdark asked.

"Well, it was, but you all forgot that the rooms were unlocked for the investigation...so I got in with no problems..."

"So, what did you find?" Orion gave a curious look.

"Turns out that the headmaster's office...is where the mastermind has been keeping watch over us, and controlling Monokuma..."

"That's the control room?! All this time?!" Digital yelled. "We should have guessed!"

"I don't see why you're so angry...it was a locked room so we had no access to it..." Beau said.

"I know but, I should have been able to figure that out, dammit! I'm such an idiot!"

Okay...then...?

"Anyway, back to the matter at hand..." Orion says. "What exactly did you discover on the tape recorder- or...receiver...?"

"Well, I found the transmitter in there along with...the student records...and what made me suspicious was that for one: the page with everybody's profiles were blank and...it clearly stated that 'Class #78 of Hope's Peak Academy' also known as our class, students total up to sixteen...yet in Serenade's photo album...there are seventeen students that appear..."

"So, one of the students...isn't a student...?" Grimdark asked.

"So it would seem..."

"So the mastermind must be the one that is the fake student, no? Monokuma does call himself the school 'headmaster'." Orion points out.

"Speaking of which..." Olive says, off topic. "Not to backtrack but...Monokuma has a male voice but...B is a girl...so, was there a voice modifier in the headmasters office...?"

"Hmm...I think the transmitter had a setting to alter the users voice, why do you ask?"

"I was just confused on it...that's all..."

...that's true...if the voice Monokuma has is male...and a voice modifier was on it, of course we'd think it's a girl...

"But what if that is what the mastermind wants us to think?" Orion asks. "That is what you were thinking, no?"

"...y-yeah...it was..."

"That could be a possibility, yes..." Beau admits. "But think about how high pitched and carefree, Monokuma's voice is...that does imply that it's a girl..."

"Or maybe the voice modifier is built for it to project that voice no matter who speaks into it...?" Orion suggests.

"Y-yes! J-just because my voice is slightly higher than everybody else's voice, that doesn't make me the mastermind! W-where's your real proof?!" B yelled out, unexpectedly.

"You want proof...I can give you proof!"

"W-what?!" B almost stumbled back in shock.

"Proof of B, being the mastermind is..."
Of course!
"In my photo album...I have one photo of me with each student...aside from B." Serenade turned the photo album to face everybody.

"Serenade, hate to break it to ya'. But B is clearly in there." Grimdark points out.

"I didn't say she wasn't...all I said was I wasn't in a photo with her...Shadow Rain is, and that is the only one with Shadow in it. When I had to face off against him, I heard him say something about 'she calculated everything'. This means that the mastermind is indeed female and combine that with the photo...it can give you the easy assumption of B being the true culprit!"

B paused. "It's just a coincidence..." She says simply. "Just because your alternate personality is in a photo with me...that doesn't make me the mastermind...so where's your real proof...?"

Real...proof...?

"Because if you don't have any...you have no real way to make an accusation..." B smirked.

"M-Ms Positive...you are defiantly changing your attitude at the incorrect time." Orion says.

"So what? Doesn't matter. Sometimes you have to go into an offensive position to stop the accusations coming your way...of course that didn't really work out for you when you tried defending Nimbus, did it?"

"Y-you...!"

"T-t-today junior! Movie references are the best, am I right?"

B...is completely different now...is this because she feels cornered...? No...the mastermind wouldn't be so easily cornered...so what is it...?

B- Of I ain't the mastermind! You guys don't have anything to prove it with!

Beau- Are we really gonna go through the same song and dance...? Your accused, you feel threatened, we use decisive evidence and you're done!

B- But that's not gonna happen...the mastermind was responsible for the other mutual killings in that human world, right? But I'm just a nurse...I don't have any connections!

You got that wrong!

"There is one small connection that you have...in the 'Field Trip of Mutual Killings'. One of the students was a timid nurse that had a tendency to stutter a lot...sound like anyone we know?"

"B-bu...!" B's eyes widened. "That's just another coincidence!"

"Two coincidences in a row? Are you really gonna just shove that off...?" Beau asked her.

"It's just a coincidence, I'm telling you!" She yelled angrily.

"No, it isn't." Serenade contradicts.

"Excuse me?!"

"It's game over for you B...or should I say...Junk Enoshima?!" There was a long silence as Serenade pointed at the light blue unicorn.

"I...lost...?" B said slowly. "You...don't even know when the real battle begins, do you? Because, Serenade. I can let you in on a little secret...allow me to show you." B stepped away from the podium and stood beside the Monokuma was at. Monokuma, on response got up and stood in front of B. Immediately, the border of black and white on Monokuma's head separated as a small cylinder appeared, spraying out a white gas, consuming the room and making it impossible to see.

"W-what going on?!" Olive half-said half-coughed.

"I-is she trying to get away?!" Grimdark yelled.

"Get away...?" An unfamiliar voice echoed as the smoke began to clear. "I'm afraid that I won't be running away." The smoked cleared completely and in B's place of the trial room, a light blue unicorn with pink hair still stood there but unlike B, her hair was in two big pigtails with a white Monokuma and a black Monokuma hair tie. She had a rather small black shirt with a mainly white and somewhat black tie that stretched down over her extremely short red skirt. She gave a smirk as she backed up and sat on Monokuma's throne, her black boots with red laces now visible. "I won't be running away again." She didn't have any expression in her voice, it was absolute monotone. Beau clenched her fist and began yelling.

"I knew it! I really has been you all along! Junko! Junko Enoshima!"

"...surprise, I guess?"
