Time for my next story. Another crossover (I am so good at those) this time between Dangan Ronpa and Mirai Nikki. As many anime fans know, Mirai Nikki literally means "Future Diary", hence the reason why it is officially named as such. What many people may not know is that Dangan Ronpa literally means "Bullet Refutation". Take the words I have selected for the title of this fic and you get "Future Refutation", which is essentially the basis for my story, that the original futures of both stories have been refuted in favor of a happier one (like I said in an earlier story, despair and tragedy are two things I hate).

Now the backstory of the alternate Mirai Nikki world is something integral to the plot, so I won't reveal it here, but here's the background to the alternate Dangan Ronpa world. During what would have been the events of Dangan Ronpa Zero, Makoto Naegi chanced upon another student, Izuru Kamukura, speaking with a few other individuals about a student named Ryoko Otanshi. Wondering who that was, Makoto looked up the name only to learn that Ryoko Otanshi didn't exist. When he met a student claiming to be her, he told her what he had found. This revelation surprised the student, and in her mania discovered that her appearance was falsified using a simple wig. In reality Ryoko Otanshi was Junko Enoshima, one of Makoto's classmates.

Mentioning the incident to the Headmaster of the academy, Izuru's collaborators were rounded up, expelled, and arrested for conspiracy. Izuru himself, however, had vanished. Later, Makoto and the rest of his class partook in the Ultimate Hope project, which was designed to improve their already incredible talents to new heights. The project worked, but had an interesting side-effect that ultimately was beneficial. With their skills having reached newfound levels, the 78th class put their talents to the test and within a few months had built a fantastic flying city, which they named "Kibougamine City" after their school.

Two years later, the city was still flourishing. People flocked to the city drawn by promises of a hopeful future, a promise the students did their best to keep. They were soon being called "The 32 Hopes" because of the various hopes they gave to the people. However, in the midst of it all, Izuru returned within the city. His intention was to take revenge on the 32 Hopes for ruining his plans to bring the world to its knees. He had brought with him the students he had been collaborating with in an attempt to bring the city down, but they soon learned the hard way that the 32 Hopes would not fall so easily. Undeterred, Izuru went into hiding again. He would continue to try plan after plan, but would always fail. Now he makes one last call...

Well, this ran on for a while, didn't it? And we still haven't gotten to the story. I suppose I'll simply post this as a separate chapter alongside the real first chapter. And since it's become habit, as a disclaimer I do not own Dangan Ronpa or Mirai Nikki.
