(Joker's P.O.V.)

This has to have been the most hilarious class trial yet. The muscle girl who everyone realized is a traitor killed herself. Not only that, but the only girl who defended her tried to make it so that they all died together. And it was because the bear, Monokuma, forged a suicide note to stir up the killing game. Honestly, I found it hysterical.

Afterwards, when the children rallied and vowed to defeat Monokuma together, the bear set an example by destroying a laptop with an AI in it. Monokuma then read Sakura Ogami's real suicide note and almost revealed a secret about the mastermind doing something to the Ultimates' bodies. Monokuma stopped himself, but he couldn't stop me.

"May I cut in?" I announced and I slid into the trial room. All the remaining students were almost as surprised to see me as Monokuma.

"Whazza?" the bear cried out in shock. "Where did you come from?"

"When a papa clown and a mama clown love each other very much…" I stopped myself with my laughter.

"Who… What are you?" asked the Ultimate Affluent Progeny, Byakuya Togami.

"Call me… the Joker! And believe it or not, I'm here to get you all out."

"Hold on a second!" Monokuma shouted. "Listen, clown-boy, I don't know how you got in here without my permission, but…"

I shut him up by pulling out my gun and pointed it right at his face. A gulping sound came out of the bear and the Ultimates gasped in fear.

"Wait!" Monokuma begged. "You don't want to do this! Violence against the school headmaster is against the rules! You'll be punished for this!"

"Don't be stupid!" Byakuya shouted.

"Please, no!" Yasuhiro yelled.

"That's a terrible idea!" Kyoko Kirigiri insisted.

"Well, now, I gotta." I replied as I pulled the trigger.

"BANG!" That's what it read on the white flag that popped out of the gun nozzle. Everyone sighed in relief, even Monokuma.

"Puhuhu." He laughed softly. "Even I gotta admit, that was a bit funny."

"Really?" I asked. "Then laugh at this!"

I pulled the trigger again, and this time, the flag shot out like a bullet. It impaled Monokuma straight through his chair. Me and the Ultimated dashed for cover right before he blew up in a fiery explosion.

"That oughta keep him busy." I said. "Come on, boys and girls. We're blowing this popsicle stand!"

"Are you insane?" Makoto Naegi asked.

"Yes, but that's not the point." I replied. "Unless you want to deal with an angry panda-bot, I insist you follow my lead. I'm trying to get you out."

They didn't say a word. They knew they had no choice but to follow me to the elevator. At the corner of the elevator sat my bag that I left before. I opened it up and rummaged through it.

"What's going on?" Aoi Asahina asked.

"I'm trying to get you out. Duh." I replied. "Didn't I just say that a second ago?"

"Wow. You are one crazy freakshow, and that's coming from me." Said the Ultimate Serial Killer, Genocide Jill.

"How did you get in this school?" Kyoko asked. "Everything's sealed shut."

"I'll show you in a bit. For now, I'll just say I'm glad the mastermind's attention was just to the trial and not to the front door." I said. "For now, let me show off my party favors."

As soon as I grabbed all my gear, including my machine gun, I pulled out an MP3 player and selected a song to listen to. It was "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.

As I predicted, as soon as the doors opened, there would be trouble. Across the hallway were scores of Monokuma bears. While the song played, I fired my machine gun at the first wave while the Ultimates stood back watching me.

When my machine gun ran out of ammo, I threw it away and advanced while pulling out a crowbar in one hand and a joy buzzer in the other. With the crowbar, I bashed in the heads of each Monokuma. With the joy buzzer, I short-circuited them with each slap. I was choreographing the fight with the music I was playing perfectly.

Next, I stomped on the ground revealing a switchblade hidden in my shoe, which I used to punt every Monokuma I run to. And I sprayed some more with acid that I hid in my lapel. Their front halves were corroded instantly.

A couple of Monokumas were able to jump me and try to pin me down, but I a managed to slip out. My jacket came with fake hands which made it easier to escape. When my jacket hit the floor, it revealed some explosive mines with my face in them. They blew up instantly. The Ultimates ran through the smoke.

Eventually, we made it to the front. I laughed when I saw my handiwork. There was nothing like seeing a smile carved through a steel door with acid. I even widened the mouth to make it look like it was laughing. And we used the open mouth to escape. The Monokumas stopped coming after us after that.

"Was that smile thing really necessary?" Aoi Asahina asked.

"I am an artist." I explained. "I will not compromise."

"Uh, guys." Makoto said as he looked around. Everyone else saw too.

All around us, the entire world was a complete dystopia. A real nightmare to behold. The skies were red and many buildings were destroyed. In the distance was a massive version of Monokuma continuouslty wrecking the city.

"What happened?" Yasuhiro asked in a panic. "What's going on?"

"Oh. All that?" I answered. "Yeah, the world's kinda blown up."

"What are you talking about?" Kyoko asked. "How did this happen?"

"I'll tell you more when we get to my hideout. I've got friends who are dying to meet you."

"Why?" Makoto asked. "And why did you help us?"

"Let's just say… I'm trying to get the mastermind's attention."

(No P.O.V.)

It would be safe to assume that the mastermind was not happy. She stepped out of the computer room and approached the smiley face on the wall. The Ultimate Fashionista, the Ultimate Despair, couldn't help but be conflicted. On one hand, she felt some amount of despair that her hard work was ruined. On the other, she was also disappointed to see that it was all undone by a pasty-faced clown she had no previous association. Thus, Junko Enoshima could only arrive at one conclusion…

"Of course, you realize this means war."

Author's Note: Sorry if this seems a bit rushed. I haven't updated this in a while and I made a personal promise to finish by today. Hope that's okay. Anyway, now, the Joker and the students of Hope's Peak (or what's left of them) meet. Any and all comments are welcome.
