> Ponyronpa V3:Returning Harmony > by Blueelectric > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shuichi's POV: I look back at the ruins of The Ultimate Academy For The Gifted Juveniles one last time before leaving. I sighed remembering the students that we lost. I look at the two other survivors beside of me; Himiko Yumeno the Ultimate Magician and Maki Harukawa the Ultimate Assassin or the Ultimate Child Caregiver. We each exchanged a knowing look and I grabbed each of their hands reassuringly before we made our way towards the hole. Then everything went black. I slowly blinked opened my eyes and thought I caught a glimpse of purple hair. What? I must be seeing things. I opened my eyes to a familiar boy with purple hair and a black and white checkered scarf. "Moooorning, Sleepyheead! You're finally up Shumai!" My eyes went wide. "Kokichi?" I asked in confusement. I slowly got up and find I was on the ground. I looked around and found all the students all alive and well. I gasped as I spotted a glimsed of blonde hair. I stand up and watch as she walked over to me with her pink eyes full of kindness. She gave hug. "Hey Shuchi." She greeted. I hugged her back. "Kaede? You're alive? How?" I asked. She pulled away with a confused look. "That's what I'm wondering too." She said. I look around and saw my other friends. Kaito Momota, Tenko Chabashira, Korekiyo Shinguji, Kirumi Tojo, Angie Yonaga, Ryoma Hoshi, Rantaro Amami, Gonta Gokuhara, Kiibo, and last but not least, Tsumugi Shirogane. Himiko gasped and ran towards Tenko giving her a hug. The Ultimate Aikido Master smiled and hugged her friend, while Maki Harukawa almost tackled Kaito. "Whoa there, Makiroll. I didn't know you missed me that much!" Kaito laughed. Maki scowled and punched his shoulder. I look around at were we are. It looks like we woken up in a middle of a field. A more colorful field. "Wow! This place is so colorful! Atua told me he likes it!" Said Angie joyfully. "But where are we?" Asked Ryoma. Rantaro and Tsumugi shrugged. Kiibo looked around. He walked a little ways from the others. "I found a dirt road and a sign!" He started to jog ahead. We all gave each other a confused look and chased after the robot. "Wait up Keeboy!" Hollered Kokichi. Kiibo was right. There was a road but it was made of dirt not concrete. The Ultimate Robot was reading a sign. I ran up to see what it said. Ponyville: 12 miles ahead Canterlot: 20 miles ahead. "What the fuck? Ponyville? What kind of place is that?" Asked Miu while Kokichi laughed. Korekiyo look on thoughtfully. "Perhaps it's a town full of horse breeders." He guessed. "We should see where this road go." Suggest Kaede, looking towards the direction the sign pointed. Rantaro nodded. "And if there's a town, there's got to be people." I forgot how deep his voice is. We agree and. Decided to walk to the direction the sign point out with Kaede in the lead. I smiled as I walk beside her. I forgot how confident my friend can be. I missed her. I missed everyone who died in the game. Even Kokichi. Even if he lies alot, he doesn't deserved to be crushed under the hydrolic pressure like he did. I glanced back at him and watched as he teased Kiibo. I smiled a little. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~●●●●●●●~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Soon all of us starting to get tired and thirsty as we trekked along the dirt path. Even though Kokichi tried to hide it, I can tell he's tired as well. I spotted a pond up ahead. I geastured it to Kaede who nodded in agreement. We walked away from the path and settled down by the water. I scooped up a handful of water and stared at it with caution. I was worried it might be contaminated or something. I then took a sip and my eyes went wide. This is the freshest tasting water I ever drink and it's from a random pond. I greedly scoop out some more unil I had my fill and sat down to rest. Ryoma wiped his mouth. "That is the best tasting water I ever had." He commented. The other's nodded in agreement. "Even better than the one you drowned in?" Asked Kokichi, jokingly. The small man glared at the purple haired leader. Kokichi just grinned and put his hands behind his head. He glanced at me and smirked comming over to sit by me. I stared at him ith caution. Kokichi leaned his head against my shoulder with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Missed me Saihara~chan?" He chirped. I just shrugged him off and ignored him. I then caught something in the corner of my eye. What look like a brown rabbit hopped towards the pond and as it got closer I saw that it got antlers? What? The others warched it in disbelief. It cocked it's head at us curiously and sniffed at us. "Nyeh, rabbits don't have antlers do they?" Asked Himiko with confusion. "Hey Gonta! You grew up in the wild, right?" I asked the large male. He shooked his head. "The rabbits Gonta met don't have antlers." He said. We watched as the antlered rabbit hopped down to the water and take a sip. Then we heard Kiibo gasped. "Look up in the sky!" We turn to the robot who was watching the sky with wide eyes. As we follow his gaze, I couldn't belive what I saw. In the sky what looks like a small gray horse with blonde mane and tail, golden eyes with one looked crooked and wings. It was also wearing a post office uniform and caring a mail bag. It I mean she paused in mid air and look down at us with wide eyes. "That look like a pegasus." Commented Korekiyo "An ancient greek mythology." Okay the pegasus then flew down and landed in front of us. She look at us curiously and spoke. "I never saw creatures like you before." We all took step back in shock. "What the fuck?" Exclaimed Miu. Kaede glanced at us and took a step forward to the pegasus. "You can talk?" The pegasus nodded her head. She then lifted her wings and started to hover around us with one hoof on her head thoughtfully. "You all seem harmless enough, so I'll introduce myself." The pegasus said. "I'm Derpy Hooves." She introduced. As she got closer to me, I noticed she got a picture of bubbles on her flank. "What are you guys, anyways?" She asked. "We're humans." Kaede explained. "I'm Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Pianist." She introduced. She motion us to do the same. I went first. "I'm Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Detective." "I'm Rantaro Amami, The Ultimate Survivalist." Rantaro said next. "Neeheehee. Derpy Hooves is a funny name and anyways I'm Kokichi Oma the Ultimate Supreme Leader. " Kokichi said. Derpy cocked her head. "What organization do you lead?" She asked. Kokichi put a finger up to his lips and smiled. "I can't tell you that. It's a secret organization with ten thousand members." He said as we all groan in annoyance. I put my hand to my forehead. Derpy on the other hand seem to buy it. "Wow! That's alot of members!" Tenko walked up and pushed him away. "Don't listen to that degenerate male, that's obviously a lie! Anyways I'm Tenko Chabashira the Ultimate Aikido Master. " She motion Himiko forward. "And this cutie is Himiko Yumeno the Ultimate Mage. But they officaly called her the Ultimate Magician." "You can use magic like a unicorn?" Asked Derpy. Himiko's eyes widened. "They're unicorns here?" Derpy nodded. "My daughter Dinky is a unicorn. There's also regular earth ponies. This place is Equestria, after all." My eyes widened. "Wait! That means we're not in Japan?!" I said flabbergasted. Tsumugi walked up. "So that means this place is populated by magical ponies. I'm Tsumugi Shirogane the Ultimate Cosplayer, by the way." The others soon also introduced themselves. Derpy tapped her chin with her hooves thoughtfully. "You keep saying Ultimates alot. What does that mean?" "It's a title we get when we are very good at something." Kaede explained. "Oh. So like a cutie mark." Derpy said pointed at her flank. "Us ponies get them when we discover our special talent. We get them when we are foals. My Dinky doesn't have hers yet." "I better get going. I got mail to deliver." She added. "Oh, by the way, when you get to Ponyville, stop by The Golden Oaks Library. There's a pony there who might help you." She then waved at us and flew off." We just stand by the lake, processing the information we learned. But one thing for sure, we are not in Japan anymore. "So we're in a diffrent country, perhaps in a diffrent world." I said thoughtfully. "I guess. We should get going." Kaede explained. I nodded in agreement as we left the pond and continued on our way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~●●●●●●●●●~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~●●●●●●●●●~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was almost nightfall before we made our way to the outskirt of Ponyville and we paused looking at the town before us. It look like an old timey village with houses with hay for the roofs. There were ponies everywhere. Pegasi, Unicorns, Earth ponies. And all in all sorts of colors too. "That pond water must of been tainted with LSD." Commented Miu, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We made are way through the strange pony town, each of us eyeing the four legged residents with caution. We soon spotted the large tree Derpy was talking about. It wasn't long before the ponies notice our presence. The residents stopped what they're doing and eyeing us curiously. They soon started to murmur to each other and started to group around us. "I never seen creatures like these before." "Are they a threat?" "They don't seem to have any magic on them." "We should just leave this up to Princess Twilight and her friends." "One of her friends is right here!' shouted a loud voice. An all pink pony with blue eyes burst through the crowd with an excited look on her face. I noticed that she has balloons as her cutie mark. Maybe her talent has to do with parties? "What is everypony talking about over here?" The pink pony asked, clearly not paying attention to any of us or maybe not noticing we where here. Miu started to snort. "Everypony? What the hell is that?" That's what got the pink pony's attention straight away. She stared at us with wide blue eyes and gasped. "New friends!" She shouted as she raised her forhooves and confetti flew around her with party horns going off. "Nyeh. That's a magic trick I need to learn one day." Himiko commented. The pink pony then hopped towards us. "Hi strange creatures! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She loudly introduced herself, skidding in a stop infront of us. Kokichi snorted in amusement. "That makes since." Pinkie then start to twitch her nose. "My Pinke Sense tells me that your not from around here and need information from Princess Twilight." "What's a Pinkie Sense?" Asked Keebo Pinkie Pie looked at him. "Its something not even Twilight can figured out, Metal Guy. That's your name isn't it?" Kokichi collapsed on the ground in a fit of laughter while Kiibo glared at Pinkie. "That is completely robophobic! And my names Keebo!" The robot shouted. "I didn't know, sorry!" Pinkie chirped. She glanced at Kokichi. "At least I made one of you laugh! You guys seem to be scared out of your mind!" "Well.. yeah. We just woke up here in a strange land with strange creatures and no clue how we got here in the first place." I stated. "And some of us had died!" Kaito shouted but got cut short by Maki punching him. "What was that for, Makiroll?" "No you haven't, silly!" Pinkie giggled. "You wouldn't be standing here, talking if you were! Unless you're a talking zombie, I would considered it." She then started to hop away to the large tree. She then pause to look back at us. "Well, are you coming?" She asked. "To where?" Kaede asked back. "To Twilight's library, silly!" She lead us to the large tree and discovered that it's basically a house inside a tree. We paused, looking at the place. "Um.. isn't it dangerous to live in such a place when it storms? I heard trees attract lightening." Rantaro asked. "This tree can withstand everystorm. Besides it has lightening rods." Pinkie said. She then knocked on the door. "TWILIGHT! We have new visitors." Pinkie yelled as beat on the door loudly. The door opened to revealed a very sleepy purple and green... dragon!? "Pinkie! What do you want, it's bedtime!" He groaned. Pinkie pointed to us. "Sorry to disturb you're rest, Spike. But we have a situation right now! A situation Twilight needs to see!" The dragon gazed at us and widened his green eyes. He then slammed the door. Kokichi snickered. "That's a dragon? More like a scared lizard to me." "Kokichi, that's a bit rude." Kirumi remarked. The door opened again with a purple unicorn with wings. Spike was hiding behind her. She stared at us with widened eyes. Her gazed softened when she see how scared most of us look. Not Kokichi. He seemed to enjoy this place. "Spike, grab sixteen blankets and some tea. Now!" She ordered. Spike nodded and ran away. "Come on in." The winged unicorn invited. We all shared an uneasy glance and slowly walked in. Inside was a huge library with all sorts of books. Upstairs was a bedroom. We all took a seat on the floor. Ryoma and Korekiyo was looking through the books curiously. Spike came back with sixteen blankets and a tray with sixteen cups of tea. "You want some tea too, Twilight?" Spike asked. Twilight shook her head. "No. But I need you to send a letter to Princess Celestia. Tell her there's sixteen guests over at my place and to come here tomorrow." She scowled. "I bet this is Discord's doing." "Who's Discord?" I asked. "Say his name and he shall appeared!" A loud voice boomed out of nowhere. "What the fuck was that?" Asked Miu, clearly frightened. "Not a what missy, a who. and my what mouth you got. I clearly have to censored that." A snap of some fingers was heard. "The f**k!" The curse word was replaced with sound effect. The same sound effect you would use in tv shows. The bad mouthed inventor's eyes widened in disbelief. "F**k! Sh*t! D***mit!" She shouted. Her eyes started to water. "My words!" She wailed. Kokichi burst into laughter. "Neeheehee! That's karma right there, b**tch!" "Shut up, you stupid little c**nt!" Miu snapped. Twilight rolled her eyes. "Enough! Discord show yourself right now!" We all look around, searching for the owner of the new voice. Then I felt something heavy lying on my shoulder. I looked over and spotted a strange looking creature smirking back at me. "Nice to meet you, Shuichi Saihara." The creature spoked. I screamed, knocking the creature down. We all stared at the creature. He was a creature with different animal parts. An image of chaos itself. Twilight light up her horn. "Discord, explain yourself. Do you have something to do with this?" She asked as she levitate the tea and sat it infront of us. She eyed the tea, noticing it's cooled. Her horn flashed and tea is now steaming again. "That's a pretty neat trick." Complimented Tenko as we picked up our cup. "Um, Twilight?" Asked Keebo. "I can't drink tea." Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Why? You're not allergic are you. I can make you coffee if you want." "I can't drink that either. I'm a robot." He exclaimed. Twilight blushed in embarrassment. "Whoops, sorry!" She gave the cup to Pinkie. "Here Pinkie. You can have this." "Thanks!" Pinkie cheered as she dumped a load of sugar in the tea. "That's alot of sugar." Ryoma commented with a raised eyebrow. "Pinkie Pie basically survives on that stuff." Twilight said. "Anyways, why don't you all introduced yourselves." I went first. "I'm Shuichi Saihara the Ultimate Detective. And where were from, we don't want to talk about it." "I'm Kaede Akamatsu the Ultimate Pianist." Introduced first. "I'm Rantaro Amami the Ultimate Survivor." "Gonta's name is Gonta Gokuhara and Gonta's the Ultimate Entomologist. Gonta's also a gentleman." Gonta beamed. "This here genius is non other than Miu Iruma and I'm the Ultimate Inventor." Miu boasted. "Neeheehee. You probably don't want her inventions anyway. I'm Kokichi Oma the Ultimate Supreme Leader, by the way. And I'm a leader of ten thousand members." Kokichi introduced while we all glared at him. "Don't listen to him Twilight. He's known to lie alot." I warned. Pinkie Pie giggled. "Our friend Applejack won't like you very much." Pinke said with a giggle. The rest continued to introduce themselves. "I'm Kirumi Tojo the Ultimate Maid." "I'm Tenko Chabashira the Ultimate Aikido Master and this is my cute friend Himiko Yumeno the Ultimate Mage!" Tenko chirped while hugging the magician. Himiko lifted a finger. "But people call me the Ultimate Magician. I can't do magic like you guys but I'll try. Nyeh." "Kekeke. What a nice world you have here. My name is Korekiyo Shinguji and they call me the Ultimate Anthropologist. Call me Kiyo for short. If you want to learn more about our species, Princess, I'll be happy to teach you." "I'm Ryoma Hoshi and I'm the Ultimate Tennis Pro." "I'm Kaito Momota the Ultimate Astronaut and The Luminary Of The Stars." "And I'm Maki Harukawa the Ultimate Child Caregiver." Maki added. Kokichi narrowed his eyes at her while Maki glared in turn. "Don't you say anything unless you want to die again!" She hissed. Keebo interrupted before Kokichi made a smart comeback. "I'm Keebo The Ultimate Robot." "My name is Angie Yonaga The Ultimate Artist." Angie introduced. "And I'm Tsumugi Shirogane the Ultimate Cosplayer." She said lastly. Discord chuckled. "I see some of you don't get along to well. I was right to bring you to this world after all!" We all stared at the strange creature in shock. "You what?!
