Hell's Peak

At Hope's peak Academy, Junko paced back in fourth in the judgement hall, nibbling on what remained of her lower lip. As much as the situation was filling her with despair, this time she couldn't enjoy it: the whole point of this was for her fellow classmates to drown in despair and die!

If Naegi, that interfering little punk, was coming back, that meant that sooner or later, the whole world would know EVERYTHING: the real reason Hope's Peak was established, WHO established it and how she had ruined everything. She wasn't scared to die, far from it. She was getting exicted just thinking about it….but not like this!

And no doubt that the others had heard everything….Mukuro and the other girls who'd fallen for the detective would obviously rebel, Yashuhiro the fortune-teller no doubt aiding them…but Sho/Okuda and Togami could go either way; the former had history with Naegi, and the latter was someone she could safely say shared her hatred of the boy

"Perhaps…we could be of assistance."

Junko turned to see a man in a white, hooded uniform with a skull-mask accompanied by five cloaked figures

"No cause for alarm, Ms. Enoshima." The man smiled. "You may call me Taskmaster. I represent someone who has taken an interest in your little game here. So much interest in fact, that they're willing to help you get rid of your little detective problem."

"Uh...why?" Junko asked. "And who are they?"

"Honestly, because the ones I represent want some variety within their ranks. As to who….Allow me to introduce my top students." Taskmaster explained. "Your beck and call until the coming threat is eliminated."

The cloaked figures removed their hoods. Revealing very interesting costumes underneath: One was a lizard like man, another looked like a human couch and another looked like a Purple KKK member.

But it was the leader who held Junko's attention; his mere presence screamed power and despair: Aside from his domed mask with decorated flames like antennae on the side, he wore the robes of an emperor and walked tall and proud.

"Mukade, at your service." The leader smiled as he leant down to kiss Junko's hand. "Allow me to introduce the Lizard, Shocker, Hate Monger and Kangroo. A pleasure to aid you."

Junko smiled under bandages.

"I don't know where you came from, but I like your style." She smirked, then looking back to her phone. "But…just in case…"

She quick dialed a number

"Girls? Big sister Junko has a job for you."

Aoi Asahina was in the kitchen trying to enjoy some tea while looking over her shoulder. She was not being successful, but was determined to stay strong.

Her best friend Sakura Ogami was somewhere nearby; ever since the intercom chat she had refused to leave her side. Asahina didn't blame her friend; it was a matter of time before Junko pulled something…and a small part of her was looking forward to watching Naegi get his sweet revenge on her for what she did.

"Naegi…" She sighed dreamily at the thought of her boyfriend.

A hand clamped over her mouth and something sharp was placed at her neck as a tongue rolled across her cheek.

A tongue she regretfully already knew:

Genocider Sho, Super Duper High School Level Serial killer. Her stalker even before Naegi had vanished.

"Sorry baby bikini, but I hate screaming." Sho grinned

Asahina found herself being pulled backwards

"Don't struggle, you'll be no fun…" Sho cooed

"Let…go!" Asahina demanded, finally managing to land a kick to the killer's stomach and break away into a dash, only to fall on her face when something sharp pierced her leg: a pair of scissors.

"A runner and swimmer!" Sho grinned before her whole world filled with pain and she found herself in a wall.

Sakura blocked Sho's view of Asahina, rage clear in her eyes as she beckoned the killer to battle.

"Let's dance." Sho salivated, leaping towards Sakura with a pair of scissors on each finger.

Maizono Sayaka and Celeste Lundenberg had barricaded themselves into Naegi's old room once his phone call with Junko had been heard all over the school. Although they shared their Asahina and Mukuro's joy at Naegi being safe (they couldn't read Kirigiri but knew she felt the same in her own way), they knew they wouldn't be safe for long…it was a miracle that Junko hadn't gone after them already.

"I knew our Lucky Charm wouldn't go down that easily." Celeste grinned as she sharpened her finger rings as best she could. "How's it going with Alter Ego?"

"Well, this kind of stuff really isn't my thing." Maizono confessed as she rapidly typed onto the screen. "And for some reason it's slower than usual."

A violent impact hit the door. An impact both girls knew Junko couldn't have done.

"Maizono." Celeste ordered. "Take Alter-Ego and hide in the bathroom. I'll keep them busy as long as I can, don't come out no matter what you hear."

"Celeste, please don't…" The idol started, not wanting to loose another person she cared for.

"I know I'm not Sakura or Mukuro, but I grew up on the rough side of the tracks and had my fair share of brawls with sore losers. You didn't. I'd never be able to look Naegi in the face if I didn't at least try."

The door was almost down.

"GO!"

Maizono reluctantly did as she was told and locked the door to the bathroom before hiding in the tub. She muted alter ego and focused on the image of Chihiro's face as she blocked out the sounds of a struggle.

"Think I'll make a purse out of you, you overgrown alligator!"

"Come on, maid, service a real…"

"I'm not a maid. I'm a gambler! AND I ALREADY HAVE A MAN A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN YOU!"

A message suddenly popped onto Alter-Ego distracting Maizono…and filling her with joy:

Naegi is almost here. And he brought help.

Just then, the bathroom door was broken down and Maizon found herself lifted by a monster straight out of a move; in spite of a handsome face, a lizard man who looked lecherously at her.

"Ooh, you're cute." The monster smiled, then frowning when he saw a bloodied Celeste throwing her rings at him. "And your persistence is really…"

Just then, someone rammed into the Lizard; someone with gravity defying dreadlocks, sandals and a worn uniform.

"…I don't believe it." Celeste gasped at what she saw:

Hagakure Yashuhiro was actually doing something! Helping them.

"Looked into my ball, predicted this would happen, Run!" The Fortune-Teller shouted ordered as the monster's tail wrapped around his neck. Maizono hoisted Celeste over her shoulder and dashed towards the exit.

"I wouldn't do that."

The two girls turned to see a living couch with electricity running along his fists smirk at them.

"I'd prefer not to hit such lovely ladies like yourselves…but a good shock or two will do the trick. Just surrender and will let your friend go."

Glancing at the injured Celeste and the fading Yashuhiro, Maizono sighed.

"Just don't hurt them." She begged.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THEY GOT AWAY?" Junko hollered at the Kangaroo, who cowered under her a few minutes later.

"They just got away! I was chasing them and then the solider threw a smoke grenade and when I leapt through the smoke, she and Kirigiri were gone!" He whimpered, only to be smacked aside by the scarred young woman as his leader walked up to him. "N-no! Please! Not the Centipedes! Asano…"

An armored glove sent him flying into the wall before something slithered onto his form; robotic centipedes that stung and bit him while Lizard, Hate-Monger and Shocker watched, wincing at his writhing form.

"Never call me that name again, Koyoma." Mukade growled as the centipedes did their work then pulling out a radio. "Sensei, Kangaroo has failed. Pull him out."

"Three out five still works." Lizard pointed out, admiring the bound and gagged Maizono, Celeste and Asahina, who was avoiding the lustful looks of Genocider Sho with tears in her eyes.

"Oh come on, cutie…." Sho smirked. "I won't bite…too hard."

"Leave them alone." Shocker growled. "If there's one thing I can't stand, its seeing lady cry."

"Admit it, you want…" Lizard started, only to get shocked into the ground.

"Sorry boss." Shocker sighed to Mukade, who waved it off. "But I stand by my points."

"Seo." Mukade commanded.

"Y-yes?" The Lizard whimpered.

"Remember? Be professional and you'll be pretty again. Screw up like Koyoma and you're in a cirus. Now Junko, what can you tell us about the two escapees?"

"One is my sister and a trained soldier." Junko growled. "She knows how I think, who I act….I should've snuffed her in bed when I had the chance…but no, I wanted to make them all suffer when they fell in love with the same dying boy and she begged me not to hurt him!"

"And what of the other?" Mukade asked.

"The daughter of the guy who was supposed to be principal before I killed him." Junko admitted. "Something of a detective herself, almost figured everything out from the get go."

Shocker chuckled.

"This Naegi fellow has good tatses and is incredibly lucky."

The Lizard hissed.

"Not for much longer, if those losers are backing him up."

Hate-monger nodded in agreement

"The same losers who took down a fleet of giant robots?" Shocker teased his comrades, noticing that the girls' eyes were filling with hope and smiling under his costume.

"Should I be concerned?" Junko glared.

"Oh no, not at all." Mukade assured her. "We have it under control. Speaking of which how DID you convince a serial killer to help?"

"She has history with Naegi." Junko shrugged before noticing something. "Like speaking of which….where the hell is Togami? He wanted in on this too."

….

….

No one knew.

"So…what're we going to do about our cute and gagged friends?" Sho salivated. "Cause I;m really wanting to make an expectation to my 'guys only rule…'"

"Excuse me, if I make a suggestion?" Hate-Monger said.

Two days of driving later, the bus pulled up in front of Hope's Peak… much to the relief of Class E and their detective ally.

"Never doing that again!" Huntress shouted and she, Rhino, Titania, Jack O Lantern and Crossbones dashed out of the bus

"The pain…the pain…!" Titania groaned as the lyrics to everything is awesome still resonated within her brain.

"My back is killing me!" Black Cat groaned

"LAND!" Cloak and Dagger flung themselves onto the ground in front of the school. "SOLID, BEATUIFUL LAND!"

"Oh quit whining." Naegi sighed. "I once rode 200 miles in the back of an animal transport truck. With a serial killer."

….

….

"What did your mother do to you?" Irina asked, only to be glared at

"Alright, spilt up into teams." Karasama ordered. "Bullseye and Domino, get to the roof and set up snipe detail."

"Sir." The two saluted before departing to do as they'd been ordered

"Ritsu, you stay here with Hara, Irina and Fuji." Koro-Sensei followed as he pulled out a camera. "I'll fly around for a bit and send anything interesting."

The trio of girls and computer nodded.

"Once I'm inside," Mimura/Claw explained as he got ready, I'll try and find the rest of Fuji and confuse everyone else on our side."

"We got anti-sensei earboys to keep us from getting in the fray." Iron fist smiled as she gave him a light peck, as Ritsu did the same to Fathomex

"Be safe, darling." She cooed.

"I will, my queen of cyber-space." The white haired and garbed boy assured her.

"Anything happens to my lil bro…." Naegi growled to them. "I may not hit dames, but I have a mean glare."

"Weak." Rhino and Jack O'Lantern said with a smirk, only to be glared at and shut up when they heard omnius lation chanting and black and red lights around the detective.

"Mysterio. Klaww." Karasama sighed. "Mission first."

"Sorry sir." The two boys sighed.

"Battle team of …"

The gate was kicked into the door and making a small hill of rubble, courtesy of a black and red leg.

"…Was that nessacary, Karma?" Koro-sensei asked.

"…What?" Karma asked. "They know we're coming."

Naegi glanced over to Nagisa.

"I take he's not very subtle?"

"Gee, what was your first clue?" Blue-Pool smirked.

"Alrighty then, kiddies!" Deadpool shouted. "On the count of three, we charge. One…THREE!"

Dead and Kidpool raced inside and over the debris.

….

"Huh." Iron-Fist and Naegi said together. "You'd think there'd be a booby trap or…"

A burst of light and two goofy screams sent the Pool father and son back to the street,

"There it is." Viper said. "Ristu? Chihiro?"

"Got it!" The two cyber-beings smiled. "Good to go!"

The mass of characters then raced on in, leaving the goopy remains of Kid and Deadpool on the ground.

"OH SURE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT US!" Deadpool shouted.

"Um…cupcake?" Kid cooed to Hara. "Could I get a get-better kiss? Pretty please with a cherry and sugar lumps on top?"

"In a sec, Kid. Have to go through the pictures Koro-Sensei just sent us.

NvN

What greeted the party was not pleasant.

"SAKURA!" Naegi shouted, dashing to her side…and gasping at what he saw:

Scissors lodged deeply into her arms, side, stomach and lungs. It was a miracle she was still alive.

"N-Nae…Gi…?" Sakura struggled

"That's a woman?" Cloak whispered to Abestos Man before being pulled back by Dagger.

"He knows her?"

The Street fighter gave the detective a bloody grin.

"I…did…my…"

She gagged on her blood

"You need to rest, please!" He turned over his shoulder. "HEY REAPER! SAVE HER!"

A strong hand clamped over his arm and pulled him back

"No time…! Please…!" Sakura begged. "Just…! Save the..!''

Her words stopped short in her mouth, as the light left her eyes and her hand fell to her side.

Sakura, the Super Duper High School Level Street fighter…was dead.

Naegi glared and shook his fists in rage. Bluepool noticed that Outlaw was doing the same and gave her a light hug.

She'd seen her sister die. Even if she didn't know the girl in front of them she wouldn't risk that on anyone.

"JUNKO!" Naehi roared in rage. "I'M COMING FOR YOU!"

"Yell-lo!"

A screen descended from the rooftop

"Naegi!" She beamed like a schoolgirl with a crush. "So good to see you again! Looking good….for a dead man."

"I'd say the same." Naegi glared, not even caring that he was going ignored as the person he hated more than any other.

"Obviously, you didn't have enough despair last time…" Junko mused over the intercom. "So, in lieu of this, I took the precaution of well, rearranging the living quarters for the last day of Hope's Peak. And in all honesty…you're lucky you have so much help."

"What did you do?" Naegi glared.

"Take a look at the screens."

More screens came down, and what they showed filled Naegi with horror and even more anger:

Asahina was chained underwater with a dwindling supply of air, anchor wrapped around her ankles.

Maizono was in the media room, which now had a conveyor belt attached to a giant film reel…with knives along it.

Celeste was in the library, her limbs tied to different bookshelves in a giant spider web while a swinging pendulum cut them one by one.

"Kirigiri and my sister will be joining them soon." Junko assured them,

Everyone in Class E noted how angry Outlaw, Chaos, Silver Samurai, Bluepool, Fathomex and Black Cat got when they heard that Junko was not above hurting her own sibling.

"If Naegi doesn't kill her, I will." Outlaw promised.

"I'd make an old Batman joke…" Deadpool mused as he suddenly appeared. "But that's beneath me and I can't hate Adam West."

"Simple set up, detective and kiddies: you got half an hour to save the girls and get out before I blow the school sky high while avoding my help….starting now. Bye-Bye!"
