Monomi: Hello there, everyone! It's me! Your friend, the Magical Miracle Girl Usami!

Monomi: But even though I became human again, I'm still Monomi...

Monomi: But I can't let that get me down! Right now, my students need me!

Monomi: Even though we forgot to have the segment last chapter with Monokuma and I talking, I still was able to show up on time!

Monomi: A kidnapper! And so soon!? I can't believe it! But I know that my students can find who it is!

Monomi: Everyone, remember to do your best! Don't lose to yourselves and remember to comment regularly!

TRIAL

RESUME

Fuyuhiko: We don't have time to fuck around, man! We need to find out who kidnapped them or else we're all dead!

Nagisa: We at least know that we have two kidnappers.

Fuyuhiko: That doesn't do shit for us! We need names, not numbers!

Twogami: Something still puzzles me, though.

Hajime: What would that be?

Twogami: If Nagito and Mikan are under the lodge, why could I not see them when I shined the flashlight?

Byakuya: Seriously? The answer is simple.

Makoto: Why don't you just tell us then?

Byakuya: You tell them, Makoto.

Makoto: I don't know!

Hajime: (Why's he have to be this stubborn?)

Make Your Argument!

Kazuichi: Can you just tell us for once, you stubborn prick!?

Byakuya: Sticks and stones.

Nagisa: Let's just figure it out ourselves.

Mahiru: What if they aren't under the lodge?

Gundam: If they could not be seen...

Gundam: Perhaps the culprits cast an invisibility spell.

Mondo: Be realistic, you moron!

Komaru: Could there be a secret compartment?

Ibuki: Did they use something from the shopping list?

Taka: Maybe they dug some kind of hole?

Byakuya: This is very simple.

Kazuichi: I still think you're the freaking kidnapper!

Hajime: (This should be simple... There's only one explanation.)

Ibuki: Did they use something from the shopping list?

Supermarket Receipt #1

"I agree with that!"

BREAK!!!

Hajime: There was one thing on the shopping list that would clear up this contradiction.

Hajime: There were three blankets purchased, and one given as a bonus from Kurokuma's special policies.

Hajime: These four blankets were used to conceal Nagito and Mikan!

Hiro: Wouldn't the blankets have to be dark, though?

Kyoko: Kurokuma. What color are the blankets that were bought?

Kurokuma: Why dey were Kurokuma Brand Love Makin' Cova's! For when one o' you kids gets the urge to bang anotha'. Black as my skin so you can tell when it's time to change da sheets!

Fuyuhiko: I'm just gonna pretend you said none of that.

Hajime: So, this clears up where Nagito and Mikan are, because that's the only area we haven't checked!

Kazuichi: So, what do we do now?

Kyoko: Now we work on who committed this crime.

Makoto: I think there something we can do.

Sayaka: What's your idea, Makoto?

Makoto: Well, it's just a small idea, but there's something we can try with the shopping list.

Hajime: (What can we try with the list?)

Light it on fire

Look on the other side

> Add up the numbers

Fold it into a hat

"I see!"

Hajime: You mean you want to add up the items bought at the supermarket?

Makoto: Yeah. I feel like I have an idea.

Byakuya: Makoto, I've already done that.

Makoto: You have?

Mondo: Then why didn't you tell us!?

Byakuya: Because you didn't ask.

Masaru: You stubborn demon!

Byakuya: I'm not a demon you foolish child.

Hajime: Byakuya made some calculations and discovered that the total amount of monocoins spent was 130.

Hina: But... That doesn't sound right.

Peko: We each only received 50 monocoins each.

Kyoko: Not all of us.

Makoto: Woah, Kyoko! You aren't accusing me, are you?

Kyoko: Of course not. You were with me at the diner the whole time.

Hifumi: You two... were at the diner together!?

Makoto: Hifumi, you don't have to make such a big de-

Kyoko: We were. We went there, arm in arm.

Kyoko: I even let him feed me some ice cream.

Teruteru: My, you two sure are quite close, aren't you?

Kotoko: Ooh! A heart-pounding romance blossoming between two detectives! How adorbs!

Sakura: Makoto, are you alright? Your face is rather red now.

Makoto: L-Let's just move on!

Chiaki: Hajime also has 100 monocoins, but he was gaming with me all day yesterday.

Taka: So everyone with 100 monocoins has a solid alibi.

Ibuki: So there were three culprits! Ibuki can't believe this!

Kyoko: Not necessarily.

Kazuichi: What are you saying?

Makoto: There could have been people who bought things that weren't involved in the kidnapping.

Taka: Everyone! Take out your money pouches!

Twogami: Clever. The culprits should have empty pouches.

Leon: Well, that was pointless.

Komaru: Everyone's pouches are still full!

Chihiro: Expect for... Chiaki's, Twogami's, Ibuki's, and Hiyoko's...

Chiaki: I bought a flashlight during the investigation.

Twogami: I bought one as well.

Hina: So, Hiyoko, Ibuki. What did you two buy?

Taka: I demand that you two tell us what you purchased at the supermarket immediately!

Hiyoko: I bought that bag of gummy bears, you idiots!

Ibuki: Ibuki bought the camera! Ibuki wanted to record her jamming performance!

Sayaka: Oh, is that why you and Leon were late to the music venue?

Leon: Yeah, I got a little mixed up actually. I went to the wrong island.

"I see through it!"

Peko: There. We have our culprits.

Hajime: Excuse me, Peko?

Peko: Ibuki and Leon kidnapped Nagito and Mikan.

Hajime: You're sure about that?

Peko: Are you saying that I am wrong?

Rebuttal Showdown

"Sayaka just said Ibuki and Leon were late to the music venue."

"This clearly shows they have no alibi!"

"They were the ones to kidnap Nagito and Mikan!"

DUEL

CROSS SWORDS

Hajime: I can't back down!

Success!

Advance!

Hajime: Just because they were late to the music venue...

Hajime: Doesn't mean they kidnapped Nagito and Mikan!

"Where is your evidence?"

"Ibuki and Leon easily could have gone to the supermarket..."

"And purchased the kidnapping equipment!"

Advance!

Hajime: And what about the camera that Ibuki bought?

Hajime: Her money pouch proves that she bought it!

Hajime: That means she couldn't have bought the other items!

"She just stole that from Mikan or Nagito."

"One of them bought the camera..."

"And Ibuki stole it to forge an alibi!"

"Then she took out some of her monocoins..."

"To secure her false claims!"

Advance!

Hajime: You have no proof of that!

Hajime: Ibuki could have bought that camera!

Hajime: And that is her perfect alibi!

"That is unlikely."

"Ibuki and Leon bought the equipment!"

"They pretended to be a couple..."

"And bought it together!"

Hiyoko's Account

"Allow me to cut through those words!"

CUT!

Hajime: Hiyoko, you said you saw Ibuki at the supermarket. Was she alone?

Hiyoko: Oh yeah! I forgot that I saw her there!

Ibuki: What!? Ibuki had a witness this whole time!?

Hiyoko: Shut up!

Hiyoko: And yeah, she was alone. I couldn't tell what she bought, but I saw her buy it alone.

Hajime: Are you satisfied now, Peko?

Peko: ...

Peko: Yes. I am sorry for accusing you, Ibuki.

Ibuki: Sticks and stones may break Ibuki's bones, but words will never hurt her!

Leon: What about me...?

Mondo: So what. Are we back to square one now?

Hiro: If only there was a way to prove that someone bought things other than Hiyoko and Ibuki...

Hiro: We need a third buyer, man!

Hajime: (A... third buyer...?)

Hajime: Everyone! We need to empty our pockets, right now!

Monaca: Huh? Why?

Hajime: You should all empty your pockets. And this is why!

Kurokuma's Account

"I can prove it with this!"

Hajime: One of Kurokuma's special deals involves getting a special Usami keychain every third purchase.

Hajime: Ibuki? Hiyoko? Do either of you have this?

Hiyoko: No! Why would I want something stupid like that?

Ibuki: Umm... Nope! Ibuki's clean!

Sayaka: And since we can't litter on this island...

Makoto: One of the culprits still has the keychain on them!

Nagisa: Wait, what if they just threw it away? Without littering, I mean.

Hifumi: Not possible. I checked all the areas where trash is disposed of on this island during the investigation yesterday and found nothing like that!

Kazuichi: Why were you digging through all the trash?

Hifumi: I was on trash duty back at the academy. I guess old habits DO die hard.

Sonia: Everyone! Empty your pockets!

Sonia: This... This can't be!

Fuyuhiko: ...

Hajime: Fuyuhiko...

Hajime: Why did you have the Usami keychain in your pocket?

Fuyuhiko: ...

Peko: Young Master...

Fuyuhiko: Peko, let me handle this.

Mondo: You're telling me this little blonde baby of a gangster kidnapped them!?

Fuyuhiko: Don't make fun of me, you corn-headed moron!

Mukuro: Both of you calm down, or I'll pin you down.

Junko: Hell yeah! Nobody messes with my Sis!

Mukuro: Junko, please...

Kazuichi: Anyway, we have a culprit! Monokuma, we're ready to vote!

Monokuma: Are you sure about that?

Kazuichi: What do you me- AGH!

Makoto: What's wrong, Kazuichi?

Kazuichi: Look at your voting panels!

Chihiro: They... are different!?

Sakura: There are two voting selections.

Celeste: The one on the left is labeled "First Culprit" and the one on the right is labeled "Second Culprit"

Monokuma: Yep! Since two people can commit a crime and be punished now, I added a second vote!

Monokuma: Both selections are separate polls! So each of them are a majority vote!

Byakuya: So, if the majority of the people vote Fuyuhiko as the first culprit, then that will be what the first vote chooses.

Celeste: Naturally. And if the majority voted for Makoto as the second culprit, then the second vote will choose him as the guilty party.

Makoto: But we all know it's not me, right guys...?

Toko: B-But without us knowing the second culprit...

Hiro: Then how are we going to vote!?

Chiaki: ...Well... Fuyuhiko did leave with Peko yesterday.

Yuta: And they have always been together since yesterday...

Fuyuhiko: Hey! Leave Peko out of this!

Byakuya: Are you admitting your own guilt, but claiming Peko is not your accomplice?

Fuyuhiko: Like hell, you bastard! Both of us are fucking innocent!

Mahiru: But you have the Usami keychain! How can you deny your guilt?

Fuyuhiko: That's... That's just a coincidence! The real culprit stuck it into my pocket by coincidence!

Hiro: That seems very unlikely that you wouldn't notice that...

Nagisa: Plus, wouldn't Peko have seen them if she was always with you?

Byakuya: That would make her even more likely that she's the culprit.

Fuyuhiko: Neither of us are the culprit!

Kyoko: Do you have any proof?

Fuyuhiko: I do!

Make Your Argument!

Fuyuhiko: Remember how there was only one rag?

Fuyuhiko: Where's the weapon that knocked out the other victim!?

Akane: You probably just had Peko use her sword.

Fuyuhiko: It wasn't Peko either, I already told you!

Makoto: That doesn't prove you innocent!

Fuyuhiko: What about the rag in the trash!?

Fuyuhiko:  If I was the culprit and forgot to dump the keychain...

Fuyuhiko: Then I would've had the rag on me!

Fuyuhiko: The culprit dumped the rag when they kidnapped Nagito and Mikan!

Hajime: (Fuyuhiko's logic seems pretty weak, but it's a good point. But... I feel like there's something odd about where I found the rag...)

Fuyuhiko: The culprit dumped the rag when they kidnapped Nagito and Mikan!

Kiyotaka's Account

"No, that's wrong!"

BREAK!!!

Hajime: (So... that's what happened...)

Kyoko: It appears that Hajime has solved this case.

Fuyuhiko: What are you talking about, bastard!?

Hajime: The glass shards were found under the rag, meaning that they were dumped before the rag.

Fuyuhiko: Yeah, I don't see what's so-

Fuyuhiko: FUCK!

Hajime: Taka said that he cleaned up the shards, and spent the rest of the day in the pharmacy.

Hajime: Which means that the only time the culprit could have dumped the rag was today! During the investigation!

Fuyuhiko: How do you know it wasn't Komaru and Yuta!?

Yuta: We have an alibi!

Hajime: Yuta and Komaru's alibi is airtight!

Chihiro's List

"I can prove it with this!"

Hajime: Yuta and Komaru were working out with a bunch of other people!

Hajime: They have a ton of witnesses!

Nekomaru: I can vouch for them.

Akane: I saw them there.

Chihiro: I'm so glad my list came in handy!

Fuyuhiko: Wait a minute! You still can't prove that I put the rag there! Yuta and Komaru were at the pharmacy during the whole investigation!

Hajime: Once again, there was one chance for you to plant the rag!

Fuyuhiko's Account

"I can prove it with this!"

Hajime: You yourself testified that you arrived at the pharmacy before Yuta and Komaru!

Hajime: So that's when you dumped the rag!

Peko: Young Master... We should just give up and confess...

Fuyuhiko: ...

Kazuichi: Don't go silent, now!

Fuyuhiko: Gh! Gh...

Nekomaru: Did... Did you really do it?

Fuyuhiko: Ghh! N-No!

Makoto: You're cornered! Just confess!

Fuyuhiko: No! We aren't the culprits!

Mahiru: He's still denying it?

Fuyuhiko: There's still one big hole in your perfect logic!

Byakuya: So uncooperative. I'm glad that I didn't have to deal with anyone as stubborn as you.

Hiro: That's cause you were the stubborn one!

Fuyuhiko: What happened to all that bullshit about the money pouches, huh!?

Chiaki: That's right. The culprits used up two full pouches of Monocoins...

Fuyuhiko: And Peko and I both have full pouches! We have a fucking alibi!

Hajime: But, you could've-

Fuyuhiko: Prove it! I'm not gonna listen if you don't have any fucking evidence!

Hajime: (Well, if he won't listen to me...)

Hajime: (I'll just have to prove it to him!)

PANIC TALK ACTION

"Got proof, you bastard!?"

"I'll sell your fucking organs!"

"That's obviously impossible!"

"You're pissing me off!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

"Bastard!"

"Don't fuck with me!"

"Ghghh..."

"There is no way we could've refilled our money pouches!"

Nagi-

To's

Money

Pouch

"This is the end!"

Hajime: No, there was a way for you two refill your pouches!

Fuyuhiko: W-What!?

Hajime: Nagito's money pouch had 1000 Monocoins. Plenty for you to fill up your own pouch and create a false alibi!

Fuyuhiko: Ghghh!

Mahiru: No talking your way out of this one!

Taka: You must face justice for your crimes!

Mondo: Own up to it, like a real man!

Hajime: And now I'll prove that you are the culprits...

Hajime: By summarizing exactly what you and Peko did!

CLOSING ARGUMENT

BEGIN

"Here's everything that happened in this case!"

"First, Nagito and Mikan left the restaurant, going to the pharmacy."

"Little did they know, the culprits saw Nagito heading towards the pharmacy."

"Pretending to be a couple, they bought the necessary supplies to kidnap Nagito."

"But when they got to the pharmacy, Nagito was already talking with the about to be second victim. Mikan."

"Worried, one culprit threw a pebble to break the light, causing the pharmacy to become pitch black."

"Under cover of dark, one culprit used the chloroform rag to knock out one victim, while the other used a weapon they brought to forcibly knock out the other."

"After tying up the victims, they relocated them into the hatch in the old lodge, using the padlock to keep them locked away."

"After using Nagito's money pouch to refill their own pouches to forge an alibi, they decided to go back to the pharmacy to dispose of the rag in a place that wouldn't implicate them."

"But when the culprits went back to clean up any evidence, there was someone already there!"

"Kiyotaka Ishimaru! He stayed at the pharmacy the whole day, leaving the culprits without a location to dump the rag without seeming suspicious."

"So, they had to throw it away the next day, during the investigation."

"But in doing so, they left behind the trail that led straight to them!"

"Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu... Peko Pekoyama..."

"You two are the ones who kidnapped Nagito and Mikan!"

COMPLETE!

Hajime: So, how about it, Fuyuhiko? Anything incorrect?

Fuyuhiko: ...

Peko: Young... Master?

Fuyuhiko: Let's just fucking vote.

Peko: Young Master?

Fuyuhiko: Monokuma! You hear me! Let's just fucking vote!

Peko: Young Master...

Hajime: ...

All trial participants looked at Fuyuhiko. His head was hung in shame.

"Why!?" Mondo ran up and grabbed Fuyuhiko by the collar. "Why did you do this!? We were all going to fucking die!"

Then Fuyuhiko looked up.

The look on his face...

The tears streaming down his face...

The sorrow plastered on his normally cool and composed face...

He was completely different.

"He... he was going to take her away... right after I got her back..." He said through his tears.

Mondo let go of his collar. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"He was going to kidnap Mikan! And with his luck, he was going to get away with it! I couldn't... I couldn't let him do that!"

Kyoko nodded. "I see. It appears that Fuyuhiko thought that Nagito was going to kidnap Mikan at the pharmacy..."

"Why would that matter? We could've figured it out." Makoto added.

"No!" Fuyuhiko shouted. "What if we didn't!? What if his stupid fucking bullshit luck managed to let him get away with it all, huh!? We would've all died! And then... I would've lost her... Right after I got her back..."

Peko looked speechless. "Young Master...?"

Fuyuhiko walked up to Peko.

And hugged her.

"You were gone... All I had left of you was my memory of us... We weren't sure if you were going to wake up, but then we got a second chance..."

Fuyuhiko looked up into her eyes, crying. "I needed you...! I wanted to do whatever it took to keep you around...! Peko... I can't live without you!"

Peko began crying. "Young... Master..."

The two stood there, hugging and crying, consoling each other for what they did.

After a moment, Fuyuhiko and Peko let go and faced the group.

"It was us..." Peko confessed.

"I used the chloroform on Mikan while Peko hit Nagito over the head with her sword..." Fuyuhiko admitted.

"Here's the key to the padlock." Fuyuhiko said, tossing a key to Kazuichi. "I hid it in my sock during the trial. Forgot about the fucking keychain, though..."

"Why spend all that time? Let's just bring the victims here!" Monokuma yelled cheerfully, pulling a cord by his seat.

A hatch in the ceiling opened up. Nagito and Mikan, both tied up and blindfolded fell through, landing on a wide mat laid out.

"Quick! Untie them!" Sonia shouted, running over with the group.

We got Nagito and Mikan to their feet.

"I-Is it over...?" Mikan asked.

Nagito nodded. "It looks like it. So, who did this?" Fuyuhiko and Peko couldn't look at them. "Ah, I thought so." Nagito said, looking at the guilty parties. He walked over at placed a hand on Fuyuhiko's shoulder. "No hard feelings. I understand." Fuyuhiko and Peko looked shocked. But they smiled, happy that their friend wasn't angry.

Kyoko picked up Nagito's money pouch that had fallen out of his pocket. "It was just as we thought. There's less than 1000 in here."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaalright! Time for the punishment!" Monokuma bursted in.

"W-What!? You said no more executions!" Kazuichi shouted.

"Were you just fucking with us!?" Fuyuhiko shouted.

Monokuma laughed. "Nope! This is not an execution! But, criminals still have to face justice, you know!"

"Bastard..." Fuyuhiko mumbled.

"Now, I've prepared a very special punishment for Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu and Peko Pekoyama!"

"I can't believe this..." Mondo grumbled.

"Let's give it everything we've got! Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's Punishment Time!"

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu and Peko Pekoyama have been found guilty.
Time for the punishment!

Bonnie and Clyde

Fuyuhiko and Peko stood back to back, Fuyuhiko in his gangster outfit, hat and all, and Peko in an old fashioned red dress. Both had revolvers in their hands. Suddenly, a bunch of Monokumas popped up, aiming tommy guns at the pair. Acting quickly, Fuyuhiko and Peko dove behind a wall of crates, taking pot shots to stop a few Monokumas as they fired. When the Monokumas were reloading, Fuyuhiko and Peko jumped out and unloaded their rounds into the Monokumas, one shot, one kill for each and every one. The Monokumas lie on the ground, motionless. Fuyuhiko blew the smoke from the end of his gun. He put his arm around Peko's waist and walked out the door that was revealed when the lights came up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, this certainly was a long end to this trial.

I updated the way I write the trials, putting in pictures and stuff. Does it look good? Are the voting and the Panic Talk Action good?

I've been writing this for about the whole week, and I'm proud of what I did. I hope you guys enjoyed!

Stay tuned next time for what happens after the punishment!
