*Track use: Despair syndrome*
Gilda….She may not have been very friendly, but she was always tough. This place may have scared her at some moments, but she was always strong and never let anybody looked her down. Now….She was the next victim of this horrible game.
It didn't took long until most of the others are able to come here. What lead was confusion, anger, and sadness. Well it wasn’t like that for everybody.
“Silver Spoon!” Diamond Tiara couldn't help but felt happiness when she saw her unharmed.
Lyra laughed, “well that proves you do care about her.”
She sighed out of annoyance, “I really don’t like you….”
But things started to get a little more hectic.
“Alright you two, fess up!” Scootaloo was instantly angry at the moment. Tears began to drop as he grinded her teeth, “you two have murder her didn’t you!”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Silver Spoon seems to be more surprise and confuse than before.
“ENOUGH OF YOUR CRAP!” The look on her face. It was something only sadness could make.
“Sorry to disappoint ya but we have nothing to do with it,” Sunset was more confident than usual, “besides I don’t remember much either. I went to the library just to check up on something and the next thing I know, I was at cloudsdale,” Sunset sounded little frustrated.
“It can’t happen again!” Sweetie Belle couldn't face the reality we are in, “it just can't….” Tears began to surface as her sadness began to take over.
Snowflake sighed, “well we have to face facts,” his glare looked a lot more disappointed, “one of us has killed her for are owned gain.”
Someone here fell for Monokuma’s tricks. I have failed everybody once more and the worst part was that I can’t even apologize to the fallen. It’s the sad truth….
“Well then we better hurry as I think this rain might be possibly wiping out evidence as we speak.” Silver spoon was right. This rain might be making this investigation much more harder.
*Track use: Monomonokuma*
“Oh that won’t be a problem,” with a maniacal tone, MonoKuma joins the scene, “Oh does this make my day to see all of you together as you witness the beauty of a dead body!”
“I really hope you burn in hell!” But Monokuma wasn't the only one who came in.
We all looked and notice Flash and carrying him was Vinyl and Octavia as well as Bon Bon just right behind.
“We all heard the announcement and came as quickly as we can!” Vinyl said as she catches her breath.
Octavia sighed disappointed, “So someone has murdered, did they not?”
“Of course!” MonoKuma happily answer, “and I’m here to do two thing for you.”
“Now what in tarnation do you mean?” Applebloom ask, curious on what he was about to do.
However he doesn't answer. Instead he raise his left paw up in the air. With a snap of his short stubby finger, the rain instantly stop. We all looked up in the sky and notice the clouds fading away. All of us couldn't even began to think how that would work.
But one of us couldn't take it. “So let me get this straight….You can control the weather all this time!?” Diamond Tiara was at her breaking point.
“Why of course! After all I was the one who made that factory until someone destroyed it!” Guess he was still upset about it. “It was meant as a means to make it manually so I wouldn't have to do that myself,” his look quickly went from menacing too embarrassing, “I’m just that lazy.”
“Ugh this place is hurting my fucking brain!” Well I knew she had a foul mouth with her bratty attitude, “and you shouldn’t even be fucking existing!”
“Oh Dear….The great and powerful Trixie has failed!” I wouldn't blame yourself Trixie.
MonoKuma seems to be taking it hard, “oh how the young can be such brats at times.” Honestly….I think this might be the only time I agree with him.
“I really hate you! In fact I down right despise you!” Flash was really at his angriest moment here, “I really want to kill you!”
“Uppupupupu,” No matter what he said, he sees it as a joke. “You being the perfect guy who can’t do no wrong really amuses me,” his wide grin, only made him more angry. “Its no wonder why people here think your boring!”
For a teddy bear, his demonic appearance was starting to show underneath his cute looks.
“Oh and here was the other thing I was suppose to do,” with a single clap, a box appear in front of us, “as I promise, I will give you all your precious stuff back.”
All of us were conflicted but it didn't matter. We huddle around the box, retaining all the important items that we hold dear. But at what cost exactly? As I looked around, the others showed relief to get a hold of their belongings….All except for one.
Snowflake took a look at both hands, holding a item of each. One was a pendent with a picture of what seems to be a little boy while the other is a rainbow thunder chain. The look on his face was anything but joy.
“You feeling alright Snowflake?”
He looked at me, only with a smile this time. “Ya I’m fine.”
The smile looked way too force. He must be taken it harder than anyone else. At least that was what I thought until I saw Scootaloo. Her arm was over her eyes, overflowing with tears.
Snowflake walks up to her. She also done the same, letting tears running threw his chest, “why did this have to happen!”
He pats her on the head, comforting her. “I’m sorry Scootaloo…” He pushed her back a bit and hold out her hand, leaving the chain on it, “this was Gilda’s most precious item and I want you to hold this. This will be a promise that you stay alive for as long as you can as she wouldn't want you to end your life here.”
With those words, Scoots wipes off the remaining tears as she looks at the pendent. Her feelings of sadness quickly ends, showing a confident look on her face. “Lets find out who killed her….”
Snowflake smiled but it felt weaker than before. But at least it help builds Scoots confidence. “Lets make the criminal pay.”
“Uppupupupu,” MonoKuma began to laugh. I rather that he just shut his mouth. “Well now that you got the sappy part out of the way, its time for me to leave you to your investigation so see ya!” He bolted off the scene within an instant.
*Track use: Despair syndrome*
“So we are really having another court battle here?” The only respond we made to Flash was a simple nod in agreement. He looked away, feeling disappointed.
“Maybe we should take you back to the hospital?” Bon Bon suggested.
“Ya since you don’t feel fully charge their dude,” Vinyl was all board on her suggestion
No words came out at all. The three just decided that its best to take him back.
“Vinyl, Bon Bon, take him back to the hospital. I’ll stay here and help them with the investigation.” The two nodded at Octavia as they take Flash back. “Alright! Lets get this over with”
No matter how much I don’t want this to happen, I just gotta accept it. Our lives are now once again on the line and its up to us to make sure that the criminal gets punish. I’m sorry but whoever did this must know what the outcome would be and we have no choice in the matter. It hurts saying that.
Investigation start!
*Track use: Box 15*
I grabbed my PDA and just like last time, a file was highlighted. I touch it and it open up an autopsy report just like before.
“The victim's name was Gilda”
“She died at around 1:30 PM”
“The body was found hanging from a rope, connected to one of the pillars from the coliseum in midair.”
“The victim suffer a massive head wound, causing huge amount of blood loss.”
This was strange. It said that the victim suffer some kind of head trauma but that wasn’t the only kind of damage I’m seeing from here. Maybe this thing was busted or something?
New File/Gavel
Autopsy report: Details of the victim contains within
Well one things for sure and that was that we can’t rely on this alone. I went to meet up with the others and it seems there was some mass confusion.
“What was going on?” I ask the Doctor.
He rubbed his head out of annoyance. “Well we’re trying to figure out how to get that body down here mostly.”
This will be tough. The body was so high above us, it looks impossible for us to reach it.
“Maybe we could bring something for it to land on?” Sweetie Belle suggested.
I smiled a bit, “that would be a great idea Sweetie Belle.”
“My only question was that how are we gonna do that? It would take way too long and waste time on our investigation.” Octavia was right. Even with our combine strength, it won’t be enough.
“You forgotten that you're looking at the heavyweight champion here!” Snowflake show boated as he stretched his muscles, “I could carry so many things and bring them faster.”
I forgotten that we have a strong man within the group.
“Alright then!” The Doctor grabs everyone's attention, “while Snowflake gets the items we need, we will split into teams. One that guards the body while the other heads up there and get to cloudsdale to get that body down.”
“Why protect the body?” Snips said sarcastically, “I mean its not like anybody will mess with it or something...YIPE!” Snips quickly duck down as a rock passes by him.
We all looked at where its thrown and it was non other than Sunset who was laying back on a tree. “Thought I show an example,” she smirked.
Everybody was a little uncomfortable from what happen. I swear for a moment there, I thought she was gonna kill somebody.
Once we all felt comfortable after that surprising event, we split into our teams. While Snowflake heads off to retrieve the soft beds, the TMC, Trixie, Snips, and Snails guards the body while the rest of us heads up to cloudsdale. I lead them to where I found the rope and sure enough, they are shocked to see where it was tied too.
“Well there was something you don’t see every day,” Silver spoon seems to be taking this the mostly slightly out of the others.
“Ok this place was starting to piss me off!” For a simple mind that Tiara has, it seems this place was taken its toll with her.
“I have a question,” Lyra cough a bit. “This may sound obvious but how would it be impossible for our criminal to tied a rope around the pillar?” Lyra couldn’t hold a straight face.
“Well this was a crazy world we live,” Sunset smirk as he walk in front of us, “so maybe something unnatural happen while we are not looking.” she glared at me as she smirked.
*Track use: Despair syndrome*
Well I have to talk about this sooner or later, “Ummm guys I have something to say.” Everybody’s attention was focus on me. I better make this count. “I saw something that might be responsible for her death.”
It took me a little while to explain the details but it wasn’t long until everybody was at the same page. The look of their faces only showed fear and confusion.
“You cannot be serious…” Octavia wanted to denied it.
I wanted to denied it as well, but its nothing but the truth. “I was brought here because there was a message someone have left me and I believe that was suppose to be a murder attempt considering that I saw that ugly creature…” If I wasn’t careful, I could of been killed as well, “I believe it could be the same monster that was running amok when the fog happen.”
The Doctor took a bit a hard hit when thinking about it. “This criminal’s way of killing seems very baffling.”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN!” A sudden outburst comes out of Tiara mouth, “it proves just enough that nobody was responsible and it was that damn monster who killed her right!? So there shouldn’t be a trial in the first place!” She looked at the Doctor, as the anger in her eyes piece with a single stare, “its the monster’s fault that she was dead so why bother in the first place!?”
“Sorry to say Tiara but it doesn't work that way,” Sunset Intervene. “Someone died here by the hands of another,” she let a small laugh, “besides I don’t think MonoKuma would be wasting our time making us go thru this.”
She does have a point. But it makes me wonder if the murder weapon was the monster itself? One thing was certain that what I witness could be a big a help for this investigation.
New File/Gavel
The creature: Whatever that thing was, it might be a big clue that might lead us to the truth.
*Track use: Box 15*
“How about we search around this place?” Octavia suggested, “there could be evidence lying around here as well as something that could get us close to the body.”
With a quick nod of agreement from everybody, we spread out. I thought I look around the coliseum. Walking around here, it might as well scream death right in my face. The thought of falling from here just sends shivers down my spine. But with careful precision, I have not left a single place unseach. It wasn’t long until I was at some sort of podium of some kind.
As I search here, I notice something that caught my attention. I took a closer look and notice a blood splatter on the cloud floor. “Could this be where the murder originally started?” This could be the only logical way but thinking about it, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
New file/Gavel
Blood splatter: A small amount of blood found on the podium cloud floor. This could be where it started.
“Derpy!” I turn around, seeing that the Doctor was just behind me, “I was a little worried when I see you walking over here without company.”
I made an awkward look. Guess I should’ve waited, “I’m sorry but I have found something important here!”
The Doctor stands right next to me, taking a closer look at the blood I found. “Hmmmmm,” he looks around the blood splatter. “Judging on this, I believe the murder weapon has to be something heavy to cause this.”
“Well the autopsy report did said she died from a head wound.” Ether the weapon was flung really hard or it could be something that was made with a stronger alloy.
“I really hate thinking about it, but I believe that she was hit with some metal object.” I see his Doctor skills are coming in handy, but his face says otherwise.
“You ok there?”
The Doctor faced towards me, having a wide smile to accompany it. “You don’t need to worry as I’m in tip top shape….”
That smile of his seems way to force than natural. “You know you don’t have to force a smile to make me happy…”
As I said those words, his smile quickly turns to a frown as he looks down on himself. “Guess I can’t fool ya huh?”
I wonder? “Tell me Doc, do you hate being a doctor?”
The Doctor made a soft sigh, “well I will say it has its drawbacks.” He took a look at the blood splatter once more, “that was one of them.”
“Would you like to talk about it?” I made a friendly offer.
The Doctor wave both of his had at me, feeling discomfort in the process, “Maybe some other time….I’m not ready to open old wounds and we are in the middle of an investigation.”
The look on his face only shows pain. “Well I understand.”
We both smile at each other, but it didn’t last for long as we heard someone calling out both of our name. It was none other than Octavia who just step in the podium.
“I was trying to get your attention….Ahhh!” Octavia was thrown off guard as she saw the blood splatter, “I see you found some evidence I presume…”
We both nodded.
“Well I think you better follow me as I found something that might help us in this investigation.” With no hesitation, the both of us was lead back to the factory with the others who are huddle together.
Lyra heard us coming before the others did, “you won’t believe what was thrown here.
The others moved out of the way, letting us see one of the rainbow pools. Only they have something floating from the surface.
“It looks like the criminal was trying to get rid of something in the most obvious way possible,” Silver spoon sigh deeply as she push up her glasses, “How pathetic.”
I couldn’t tell since its cover with the rainbow sauce. It looks like I need I’ll take a closer look. I slowly took my time as I put myself in the goop. It feels so yucky!
Before I could go, I felt the Doctors hand just on my shoulder. “Maybe I should go instead….”
“No its alright!” I will admit that he was a bit too protective honestly.
I walked threw the rainbow color goop, feeling the force that was slowing me down. Everytime I move, I feel it rubbing in my legs which was just gross. It took me a few minutes but I manage to get a hold of the evidence. I quickly got out of the goop.
“Well there goes my favorite skirt,” and Dinky help me pick this one out too! I wipe off what I could get off, hoping they won’t permanently stain on the fabric.
“I’m afraid its too late to clean that up,” Sunset said dismissively.
Well at the very least, I hope the evidence was worth it. We all gather around, looking at the gooped cover objects we have retrieve. I was shocked to see that one of the evidence was something that I saw before.
“Those are one of the wings I saw before from the store!”
“Well that confirm one thing,” Lyra said with a satisfied look.
“What kind of place sells wing!?” Diamond Tiara was still stumped by this.
Just the look of of it shows. It has light yellow paint with dark color stars cover over it and that was display in the case holders. I don’t know what was the use of these wings but one things for sure, the criminal tried to get rid of it so it must of been important.
New File/Gavel
Wings: Some kind of antique or something that was found in the rainbow pond.
“Well we know where the wings came from but what about that?” Octavia pointed my direction to the other object.
Silver spoon took a closer look, “it looks like a steam pipe.”
“Pfft! Its obvious that this was the weapon use to kill her!” Tiara said, having a confident look on her face.
“I don’t see any blood here,” Octavia responded.
“There could be blood but I guess the rainbow goop absorb it,” Lyra smirked. “In fact I think the criminal put it there for that reason.”
She could be right on this. This pipe could be are only possible murder weapon here. I have to admit that it might be clever for the criminal to put use the goop to wipe off any possible blood stains on the pipe.
New File/Gavel
Steam pipe: This could be the possible murder weapon that killed Gilda but its too early to tell at this point.
Now where did the criminal get the steam pipe?
“Hey you guys!” We all look behind us, noticing the Doctor standing next between two destroy machines. “Something was missing here!”
We all quickly rush to where the Doctor was standing. We stop in place, seeing that between the two crush machines was a certain part of a pipeline missing.
“Well at least we know where the pipe came from,” Lyra mention.
I think this might prove that this was the murder weapon after all!
New File/Gavel
Missing Pipeline piece: One of the pipes seems to be pull out of here. Could be the same pipe that was found in the rainbow pond.
“Looking at this, it seems the pipe has been pulled offed I presume,” Sunset walks up to get a closer look. “The nails are still here, all torn off by now.”
I took another look at the pipe. I wipe out all the goop from it and notice something that caught my eyes attention. There was claw mark right in the middle of pipe.
Diamond Tiara was a bit stunned on the marks she saw. “Uh….this could be explain logical right?”
“What could cause this?” Octavia stepped back, thinking what it could’ve done this.
Sunset smirk, “this could be the possibility of that monster you mention before Derpy.”
Taken another look at the pipe, I’m starting to believe that but…. “I’m not sure just yet. I mean how would a monster be able to use this like any normal human being?”
*Track use: Dangan Ronpa Animation OST 18*
As I said my thoughts, Sunset looked at me but it wasn’t normal. The center of her eyes was change once more. It was demonic as before and I don’t know how to respond to that.
“Derpy?” The Doctor called, waking me from the trance I have.
“Sorry about that.” Once I shook my head, I took another look as Sunset only this time her eyes were normal again. “Well that was what I think mostly,” something was not right but I feel it wasn't important during this moment.
“Well base on what you said, one of us must of really let their nails grow but I don’t remember anyone with huge claw like nails” Lyra said sarcastically. “But I feel this could related to the monster you describe before Derpy.”
How the monster got involved could only mean that criminal must of have a tougher challenge or maybe this was the intent all along?
New File/Gavel
Claw Marks: Founded right on the pipe. Could it be possible for the monster to use this on the victim?
*Track use: Box 15*
I was too scared to look at Sunset directly. I don’t know why I was seeing those eyes at this moment. It wasn’t long until she walked up and continue to search around the place.
Lyra steps up, “I’m gonna go help her. In the mean time, the rest of you figure out on how to get to that body down.”
With the two searching for more evidence around the factory, the rest of us headed back to the scene of the crime.
Silver Spoon push her glasses up, “so how are we gonna get to the body?”
“I feel that the only way we are gonna get to it, was to fly too it but that was only fantasy,” Diamond Tiara scuff.
“I think that was a great idea!” With an outburst of excitement, the Doctor was full on with what she said.
However Tiara face said otherwise, “you can not be serious right?”
“Wait….Doctor you don’t mean?” Would he be thinking what I think he was thinking?
He looked at me, having a look of a excitement, “come with me Derpy!”
As his hand wrapped around my hand, he dragged me along with him. I don’t know where but my mind was somewhere else mostly. After running for a bit, we end up at the same store where the wings are from.
The Doctor grabbed one off the display, the one with the brown messy spots on a light brown coat to be precise. “Lets hope that this really works!” I don’t know what the Doctor was planning but I went along with his idea.
As we return, the others caught glimpse of the wings the Doctor’s holding. This catches their attention within an instant.
“Ummm may I ask what are you gonna do with these?” Octavia raise her left eye as she question him.
“Oh I’ll do better than that,” he gave a soft smile. “In fact I’ll show you.”
“Huh?” Silver spoon and Tiara said simultaneously.
The Doctor stand right on the edge of the cloud as he turn at us, spreading his wings far apart from each other. The rest of us were in for a surprise as we didn't expect the following to happen.
*Track use: Buzzkill*
“AHHHHH!” I couldn’t help but let out a scream.
He slowly fallen himself down from the edge. All of the us head to the ledge and looked down on where he fallen, panickedly looking around.
“WAS THAT GUY CRAZY!” Taria was baffle and confuse of what just happen.
No….Don’t tell he….No….
“You guys I’m right over here!” When I heard that voice, I couldn’t help but feel joy.
*Track use: Box 15*
As we looked straight up on where the voice came from, the rest were confuse but I was happy to see the Doctor not only alive, but flying as well.
“It seems my assumption was correct!” He shouted happily.
“Screw this!” Tiara angrily left the coliseum, spouting nonsense along the way.
The Doctor was a little confuse as he land in between three of us. “What was her problem?”
Silver Spoon and Octavia only responded with awkward silence. But I however, gave him a slap to the face.
“OW!” The Doctor rubbed his left cheek, softening the pain I gave him, “What was that-”
*Track use: Welcome to despair school*
He stopped mid way, noticing my tears. “You idiot! Why didn’t you tell me first….”
The Doctor patted me on my head, “sorry about that. But I didn't wanted to worry you either.”
I've looked at him with an angry glare, even when I could look at him straight. “Well that didn't help!”
“Ummm sorry to interrupt you both here but now I think its time to get the body down.” Octavia was right. We must not waste any more time.
*Track use: Box 15*
“Since we have the wings, maybe we don’t need to put the body down anymore,” Silver spoon looked at the wings as she smirk. “In fact we can have him to inspect the body.”
“I could be all board on that,” Octavia was impress.
Well this could save us more time so we might as well take that chance.
“I’ll go and alert the others of this,” Octavia quickly head out of the coliseum.
The Doctor took flight once more. He manage to get close to the body and began inspecting the little details.
“What did you found so far!?” Silver Spoon shouted.
“Well for one, there was a huge fracture wound on the back side of her head!” The Doctor took a much closer look, “from the looks of it, it might of been cause by something heavy!”
Something heavy huh? This could be the steam pipe that we found before.
New File/Gavel
Head wound: The wound was very huge. I’m certain that this was cause by the steam pipe we found.
“Was there anything else that you could find?” I said as loud as possible.
The Doctor began to check on her face. What he found was unexpect to say the least. “Well one her eyes was blacken!”
“What do you mean!” Silver Spoon wanted a clear explanation.
“She has a black eye!” The Doctor responded, “and that wasn’t all. When I open her eye a bit, she had some rainbow goop on the inside of his bottom eye lid.”
A black eye and some rainbow goop huh? Clear indication that the victim didn’t went down without a fight.
New File/Gavel
Black eye: It seems that she was in direct contact with the criminal.
New File/Gavel
Rainbow Goop: Some got right into her eye. This could be another indication of a struggle.
Soon enough, the Doctor manage to fly back safe and sound.
“So that was all?” Silver Spoon ask with a concern tone.
“Well there was one thing I have left and that was concerning about the clothes of the victim.” He must be talking about of what cause them. “It had a bit of a similar resembles to the pipe claw marks.”
“You can be serious right!?” Silver Spoon denied the possiblity.
The Doctor sighed, “I’m afraid it's true but….One thing was off about those marks.”
“What would that be?” Silver Spoon ask, feeling intrigued by this.
“Well for one, they are still fresh from what I have seen. Its almost if like the damage of her clothes was done after she was killed.”
But...That doesn’t make any sense.This only leads me to believe that the monster I witness had more involvement with the murder at hand. But if that was the case then how did the criminal manage to accomplish that?
New File/Gavel
Damage Clothing: The victim's clothes was torn to terrible condition by sharp claws. But them appearing after her death was to hard to believe.
“We should head back to the others now,” Silver spoon suggested. “I believe we are done here.”
We all exit out of the coliseum, heading to the factory to meet up with the others. Lyra and Sunset happens to be waiting for us as they stand in front of the evidence.
“I heard you were able to fly huh?” Guess the two must of already heard from Octavia.
“Yes. Yes we have,” The Doctor responded properly.
“Any more evidence found?” Silver Spoon ask.
The two however responded with a single nod of disagreement.
Silver Spoon sighed, “Looks like we reach our end point here.”
I guess that could be the case. But the Doctor seems to think otherwise, “Something on your mind?”
“From all the evidence that we found so far, it seems that there was more than just a simple struggle.” His hands close tight, holding back his emotions. “I’m starting to think that there might be another person involve.”
Going by that logic, that could explain certain pieces of evidence like the the claw marks on the pipe as well as the damage clothing. But I feel there was something still off.
“Judging by your look, I presume there was something that doesn’t make sense, am I correct?” The Doctor read me easily.
“Well….I’m just not sure yet but I think in order to get a more clear picture, I need testimonies!” Luckily for me, I’m looking at my first two witnesses right now, “you go first Silver Spoon.” I thought I be polite.
Silver Spoon hold down her knotted hair, feeling a bit uncomfortable. “Well I don’t remember much but one thing. When I was still unconscious, I heard someone talking. But how they sounded seems weird as if they brought some sort of tech to disguise their voice. That was all I could remember. I don’t know how I gotten there or who ever brought me there.”
I would call her out on somethings but I feel she was telling the truth. That voice she describe proves one thing and that was the cloak figure was involve! I knew from the very start that she was up to no good.
“Well what did this person said while you are knock out?” The Doctor question, raising an eye at her.
She pushes her glasses back before she spoke. “Well I remember it said something like ‘That takes care of that. Now its time to make things more interesting.’ That was what I heard.”
Who ever that cloak figure was, he or she must of planned all this out step by step. It does make it clear by just a little bit.
New File/Gavel
Silver Spoons Testimony: While she was unconscious, she heard a voice but it was unrecognizable. It could be anyone by this point.
“Thanks Silver spoon,” as I thanked her, I cautiously look at Sunset. “Now I want to hear your testimony now.”
With no hesitation, she immediately responded. “Well Unlike her, I woke up as I see myself surrounded by a damage factory. I got up and began to wonder what happen to this place. That wasn’t until I saw somebody heading down to the escalators. I saw the person was holding something and I really wanted to see who that person was and for what it was holding but lets just say that a certain noise I heard caught my attention instead.”
“The monster I presume?”
Sunset Smirked, “you could say that.” She turn her back on me, “now you know how I was there to help you.”
“So that means I wasn’t crazy!”
The Doctor scratch his head, wondering the outburst I had. “Could you explain this?”
“Well when I was on the escalator, I notice someone else coming down from cloudsdales. Unfortunately do to a single bolts of lightning, I couldn’t able to see who it was.”
“So this person could be our criminal,” Lyra shockingly said.
Who ever it was, I know for a fact on who was responsible!
New File/Gavel
Sunset Shimmers Testimony: She claimed she saw someone holding something as they exit out of cloudsdale.
Now that I got two of their testimonies, all I need was one more. This concluded our search for evidence around cloudsdale. Once we all head down, the rest quickly surround the Doctor like he was a celebrity or something(well that was already true anyway).
“The Great and powerful Trixie demands how you did that trick of yours!” she clutches her fits tight as her eyes glitter like the stars from the sky.
“ya that was awesome!” Applebloom shouted with excitement.
“Ummm I don’t think this was the time to be excited about this we are on investigation,” the Doctor plee.
“He has a point you know!” Within the crowd, everybody looked at where it come from, revealing it was Scootaloo, having a serious look on her face. “Stop wasting time asking these dumb question and focus on task!”
Everybody could only give a surprise look as their response.
“Well you don’t have to yell….” Snips whimpered.
Scootaloo gave a glare at me as well as the rest of us who came down from cloudsdale, “Did you found evidence?” She ask menacingly.
“Well what do you think kid!?” Sunset smirked, glaring at her back, “we wouldn’t be back here if we didn’t.”
“Good!” Scootaloo then turn around, standing in a running position. “Now lets head to town hall!”
“WOW WOW WOW!” I stopped her before she could bolted, “we are not done investigating here!”
“YOU LIED TO ME!” Scootaloo shouted, pointed her finger at me.
“No we didn’t,” Lyra respond casualty. “We didn’t say we found all of the evidence.”
“Besides, there was one thing I want to look for and I need the rest of ya for this,” The Doctor added.
“What was this Item that you need me, the great and powerful Trixie to find?”
“Well we need all of you to head to MonoKuma Town and find a pair of wings that you saw me using. We all have confirmation that the criminal dump another pair of wings somewhere within the town.” The Doctor clap his hand together, “Alright everybody, lets began the search!”
Everybody set their direction to MonoKuma town. However During this, Snowflake felt a light tap on his right shoulder, seeing Sunset right behind.
“Ummm,” she pointed to the all the mattresses that was laid all over the ground, just around where the body was hanging from. “You might want to put all back,” she walks ahead; “I want a bed to lay on once its all over.”
Snowflake couldn’t help but facepalm.
“Do you need any help?” I figure I should offer my assistance.
“No its alright,” Snowflake quickly denied my offer, “I can handle this all on my own. Besides I bet you have somewhere to get too at the moment I presume?”
“Ya,” guess he early read me like a book.
With no hesitation, I sprinted to the hospital, barging through the doors as I saw Vinyl sitting in the middle of the row of chairs. “Where was Flash! I need to speak to him!”
“He was in the second floor, first room.” She responded
With a simple nod to thank her, I quickly head up to the room she mention. There I see Flash tucked in as Bon Bon stand next to him
“Oh Derpy!” Bon Bon was surprise of my barge in.
“Sorry about that but I would like talk to Flash about something.”
Flash looked me, all interested. “What would that be?”
I was hesitant, but I really needed this possible information. “I want you to tell me what happen to you when you were at the factory.”
Flash looked away from me, taking a huge deep breath. “I’ll tell you everything.”
I’m kinda surprise but relieved that he was able to talk about this.
*Track use: Despair syndrome*
“Well as I was there, I still wanted to know who was responsible for that request of the fog we had yesterday. I hid myself just behind one of the contraptions, hoping to get the jump on the culprit.” Flash looked down on himself, shaken up on something. “If I only that thing was gonna appear, then I wouldn’t be there in the first place.” He looked at me with the most scared expression on his face, “the demon with the flaming hair and dress will never leave my memory….”
Exactly how I saw it. “So you witness the demon destroying the place?”
Flash gave a simple nod, “yes. I tried to escape but then I got trapped under a pile of destroy ruble and everything after that was a blur,” he fall flat on his pillow, “you can guess the rest.”
“Well thanks for answering my question then.”
I looked at Bon Bon and it seems she was taking this like how any other person would react. But there was one thing I ask….Why did the demon attack the factory? It wasn't until I remember about the request of the storm. I maybe stretching it a bit but this lead me to believe that the criminal use the beast to destroy some evidence. If that were true, then the criminal can really interpret a monsters action.

I exit out of the hospital only to see the Doctor right outside and he seems to be happy to see me. “Ahhh I knew you be here!”
“So I guess the search end well?”
“You bet! Now come on, let me show you!” The Doctor sprinted as I followed him.
It wasn't long until we were right around the grassy fields just next to a few houses that was around the school area. From there, the others surround the place as they keep watch.
“Excuse me,” The Doctor said politely. Once Snips and Snails lets us by, I was able to see on what they found.
Another pair wings just like the last one only this one was with a yellow coat of paint with black line across the wings. This one was more beaten up then the last pair we found. It had bumps all over around the wing span. I gotta feeling on what cause them.
“But why in such an obvious place as this?”
“Whatever!” Scootaloo shouted excitedly, “it just makes it more easy to find the culprit!” She turn around, “Now on to the trial!”
Before she could run, both of her best friends stop her in place. “OH NO YOU DON’T!” The two shouted simultaneously.
“Are you trying to get us killed!” Snips shouted bluntly.
“Come on Scoots we can’t risk our lives here!” Sweetie Belle knocked some sense into her.
It wasn't long until Scootaloo stop struggling. “This better not take so long!” She pulled her arms out of her friends and sat on the grass, criss cross her legs in a sitting position.
We all began to take another look of the wings.
“This was a lot more damage compare to the last set of wings we saw.” Octavia took a closer inspection on the bumps, “from the looks of these, it looked like it was taking a beating.”
“Could it had something to do with the steam pipe found,” Silver spoon caught our attention. “I can only think that the possible murder weapon which with enough force could be possible to make such markings.”
“Then Gilda must of use this as a defense,” The Doctor theorize.
So it was a fight to end huh? The only way it could've gotten those could be that she was facing the criminal while he flung the pipe on her.
“Who was to say that was all she use for,” Well all face Sunset as she smirked. “I could say without a doubt that the two went into air combat.”
“AIR COMBAT!” Snails Shouted, Unable to handle the excitement of what was on his mind.
“The two fought each other to the death and it seems that are hot headed idiot took more than she-” Before she could finish, Scootaloo abruptly stopped her.
*Track use: Junk food for the dashing youth*
Before she could finish, Scootaloo abruptly stopped her. “ENOUGH OF YOU CRAP!” The rest stepped a few feet away from her. “You know something, you have been nothing but an uptight and snobbish prick that I can safely say that you are worst then Tiara and Silver Spoon!”
“You do realize I’m here and I’m gonna tell her what you said about her.” Guess maybe Scoots should of thought before she said that.
Scootaloo looked at her fiercely. But as expected, Sunset didn’t phase one bit. “You really are starting to get annoying that I honestly think you only survive by luck and not skill.”
“Wow!” Snips shouted with a disgust look on his face, “that was just cruel….”
“Could you two Stop for one moment and think for a second!” I was kinda surprise on the reaction the Doctor gave. It was way more angrier than before. “You two are doing nothing but wasting our time! I never like the thought of people killing each other but seeing people argue just hurts me even more.” His glare was a lot unsettling here, “now you two either shut up or just leave!”
Under the Doctor’s request, the two kept their mouths shut.
I went to take another look with of the wings. If this was use, then this could mean that Gilda thought to the very end. What was she thinking!? She could of just use this to run away but I guess she could not let go of a fight.

Second Pair of Wings: This was found close around the school area. Why drop it in such an obvious place?
New File/Gavel:
Bumps: The wingspan was covered with this. The criminal must of been really determine to kill her.
*Track use: Box 15*
“Ummm I have a question….” We all turn our attention to Applebloom. “Don’t you think that it was pretty incompetent for the varmen to just drop this right here?”
Ya that was something that bother me a lot the more I think about it.
It wasn’t long until Lyra put it in a more different perspective. “Say we are about a little far away from the cloudsdale path aren’t we?”
“Well duh but why did you ask such an obvious question?” Snips scratch his head.
Lyra gave a confident smirk, “I have a strong believe that the criminal didn’t ditch this because he or she was incompetent, but rather out of time to be exact.”
Wait…. “You mean the body announcement!”
Lyra nodded, “Exactly! I believe that the criminal didn’t have time to properly hide this when the announcement was made. Wouldn’t want to be suspicious when you're the last one to see the body.”
Judging from the path, the criminal must of been heading to the outer reaches of this area. But thinking about it, someone should of been incredibly tired base on the path. Whatever the case may be, I think this should make a clearer picture now on what happen.
New File/Gavel
The path route: The criminal went to the school area to hide the wings. However the body announcement seem to interrupt his or her progress.
Before anybody could speak, the sounds of the chimes from the body announcement plays once more. It wasn’t long enough until we can hear MonoKuma’s voice thru the speakers. The sound of his was full with joy. Gee I wonder why….
“Attention everybody! The court will soon begin. All citizens should head and enter the city hall building. See you in court.”
As the message ends, most of us spirits were down….Well almost all of us.
*Track use: Dangan Ronpa OST 21*
“About freaking time!” Scootaloo jumped with excitement, dashing to city hall without any chance of stopping; “Come on everybody! Lets put the criminal to justice!”
“The great and powerful Trixie was starting to worry about her mental issues,” she said while showing a face of disgust.
Lyra sighed, “well its that time again so we might as well go.”
The rest only responded with a nod, heading to city hall as their only direction by this point.
However I on the other hand have something that I need to check. I head back to the library, relieved to see that the newspaper I hid under the bed was still there.
“Can I ask what you got there?” I turn my head back, only to see the Doctor standing behind of me.
“Just….Something that I think its important.”
The Doctor laid out his hand, “can I see?”
I handed the newspaper to him. As he inspects it, he was quite surprise on the what he was reading. “Where did you get this?”
“Remember that cloak figure I mention before? I follow that figure right here in the library. I thought I caught that figure but it was no where to be found. After a quick search, I found that on the floor boards.
“Hmmmmm,” his eyes were focus on the head line. “Judging by what it said, this paper was detailing the reports that happen in Canterlot high.”
“That was the wierd part. I don’t remember any of that happening at all!” I know I remember all my life in highschool but this was just crazy!
“You think this might be evidence?” The Doctor ask.
“I don’t know, but I have a strong suspicion that it might be involve with the case at hand.” I have no doubts about this one.

Newspaper report: This details a big event that happen within our school. But if this happen then why don’t I have memory about it?
*Track use: Monomonokuma*
“There you are!” Just as things started to get quiet, MonoKuma pops right in front of us. “Are you trying to escape from your duties!?” His red eye glow as he grinned out of anger.
“Actually we are just about to go right now,” The Doctor grabbed hold of my hand. “Lets get going!” With no hesitation, he drag me out of the library within seconds.

This was the second time I have hang out with the Doctor while heading to the City hall. I kinda hope this happens to me more often honestly. Sadly it couldn’t last as soon enough. We enter the doors of city hall where the others are waiting.
“Late again I see?” Lyra smirked.
“Nope! I”m not gonna say it this time!” I see Taria was still not in the correct mindset.
I kinda feel sorry for her honestly. But as I looked at Scootaloo, her face doesn’t shows any sign of being please.
“You know something? Are lives are at stakes here as well as the criminal hiding within this group and seeing you two being all effectionnet for one another really shows me you're not taking this serious.” She turn her head in disgust, “you both make me sick.”
Tiara jaw just drop unable to stomach her words.
Even Applebloom scratch her head when she said that. “Don’t you think that was a little harsh there?”
“No she was right,” The Doctor bow down in advance. “I would like to apologize as it was my fault for being here so late. Derpy had no part of it.”
I’m honestly happy he defended me but kinda sad that he was taking the blame.
“I think we stand here quite enough,” Sunset said with a cocky attitude. “Lets head to court!”
I head up to the lever and pulled it, causing the floor to descend like last time.
*Some elevator noise I found*
The sounds that the elevator was making, it feels so empty like before. Only when chatter between the group surface begins to feel more lively.
“Time to send the criminal to justice!” Scootaloo clenches her fist, looking very excited as she does.
“Don’t think its fun and games,” Snowflake patted her head. “This will be hard on both on us but promise me that you won’t hold back ok,” he ended with a smile.
Scootaloo nodded with a wide smile.
“I don’t want to go back,” Sweetie Belle couldn't help but shed a tear.
I don’t want too either. But I guess that was never a choice to begin with. Soon enough, the elevator has stop. The slide doors open, revealing something that was not expected.
*Track use: Buzzkill*
Its not because there was no court but rather that it looks a whole lot different compare to the last one. The court was now made by all things clouds. What was most surprising was that it looks and feels like we are in the middle of sky.
“Feeling amaze there?” MonoKuma pops in as expected.
“AHHHHHH!” That was the last thing we expect. Seeing Tiara screaming with a fierce look on her means she had enough. “I CAN’T STAND THIS PLACE! This has to be some sort of illusion!”
“If so then the great and powerful Trixie would like you to share that secret!” Really Trixie?
“You think this an illusion?” He couldn’t help but laugh out out of control.
We were really annoyed but our attention soon shift focus on one MonoKuma looking citizen who was trying to climb up to his seat. It was proven difficult for him until we witness him slipping from his chair and fall down to the skies below us. The entire group ended up making faces that look paler than one another. I guess that answered her question then.
“Uppupupu,” MonoKuma giggled at our reaction. “Well shall we continue to court then?”
After seeing that, I don’t think any of us want to talk about that. Besides its not important(at least not at this moment). It wasn’t long until we are at the same position on where we stand the last time. I took a look around me and notice two more photo stall are added. Gilda being cross with the red X along with Photo Finish only her X was different. Instead of an X like the victims, she instead was cross out with a nail polish jar and a camera with the strap across. I guess criminal gets the special mark for them when they get capital punishment.
So we are here again. I never thought that we would come back to this place but it happened. Someone here has commit an awful crime and I thought we understand the consequences. The only question I ask was….
*Track use: Tropical despair*
Who could be cunning enough to do such a thing?
Doesn't he or she know what we have to do now?
Its a painful thought that we have to sacrifice another for our own safety.
But we must do this whether we like it or not. Its time for second round of death and lets see if we could win.
