     *Same notice again: Might have some wrong grammars and also, I can't seem to predict 100% of what the characters in Identity V might say, so it's a lucky guess. Thanks for understanding!*

     No One's P.O.V-


     "Does anybody know where we're at?" A mysterious voice asked. 

     "Hmph, as if we could see a single thing," another voice replied stiffly. "It's too dark in here."

     "Get me out of here," someone demanded, not far away to hear. 

     "Ouch, did you just step on my foot, you fool!"
     
     "It's not my fault I can't see!"

     "What the hell is going on here?!"

     Suddenly the lights came back on as if on cue. Everybody in the room locked eyes at each other in confusion of who was responsible of the strange black out. "Um, do I know you?" A guy with a clown make-up face said as he glanced at the others. "My head is slightly dizzy from the darkness."

     "Same here," a robotic penguin agreed. 

     "I don't think we met," a man with long, white and black hair replied. "Care to tell me who's behind this black out?"

     A lady who appears to be a nun said, "That's not important right now, who are all of you?"

     As everyone introduce themselves: (This is the only way I can make quick introductions here), Leo Beck the Hell Ember, Joker the Smiley Face, Jack the Ripper, Bane the Gamekeeper, Violetta the Soul-weaver, Michiko the Geisha, Hastur the Feaster, Wu Chang the General/Guard, Joseph the Photographer, Burke the Mad Eyes, Yidhra the Dream Witch, Robbie the Axe Boy, Luchino the Evil Reptilian, Mary the Bloody Queen, Bonbon the Guard 26, Ann the Disciple, Antonio the Violinist, and finally Galatea the sculptor.
     
     "So, now can someone tell me what's going on?" Joseph began, "I haven't gotten all day  waiting."

     "How should I know?" Michiko responded calmly, with the fan covering half of her lovely face. "I don't like where this is going at all."

     "Tsk," Yidhra turned away from them, "As if you care, I just want to leave this wretched place," she said. 

     "Oh, it seems like you brought your child with you?" Burke said, glancing down at the child behind Yidhra. 

     Yidhra patted the child's head, "Not exactly, this is my follower," she answered. "You see, I'm a Dream Witch."

     "Darn, I wish I have one as well," Violetta said with a raspy voice, "I would have hundreds of children if I were really a spider."

     "So if none of us have a clue about why we're all here," Jack interrupted, switching the subject as he took a look around the room, "Who summoned us here? Is it you?" He turned around to glance at Wu Chang, then at Bane, and the rest- who all shook their heads at the same time. 

     Leo Beck grumbled, "Then how do we get the heck out of here?"

     "Easy," answered an unfamiliar voice, somewhere above the walls. "You'll have to win a game." Everyone briskly turned around to find a robotic black and white teddy bear staring at them. 

     "What the hell is that?" Hastur asked coldly, taken aback to find a small teddy bear standing before them. 

     "Looks like you Bonbon," Robbie joked, "No offense there, buddy."

     "Offense taken you Scare-Crow," BonBon replied in a robotic voice. "How dare you compare robots against robots?"

     "Enough talk," Luchino hissed in anger, focusing his attention at the teddy bear, "So you were behind this, tell us why or else, you robotic teddy bear!" 

     The bear chuckled, "Puhuhuhu, at least be nice and call me Monokuma, won't you?" Monokuma began, pretending to look quite sad, "I took some trouble into getting all of you guys here to play a game, and now you're all making me so sad."

     "A game? Doesn't sound so musical to me," hummed Antonio. "The lack of notes is just so wrong without music."

     "Well it doesn't have to be musical because it's my game! And we're going to play it by my rules!" Monokuma yelled, face turning bright red in fury. 

     Bane looked startled, "And what game do you mean by?"

     "Simple, you guys would be known as Hunters in this game, trying to capture any survivors and put them in the rocket chair," explained Monokuma, "But you will have to be careful of other survivors who would try to rescue their teammates." As Monokuma explained most of the rules of can and can't do, the hunters all looked warily at each other. 

     "And if we refuse?" Mary asked curiously. "What will you do?"

     Monokuma glared at them with his glowing red eyes on the other half of his body. "Why, then it's an automatic loss on your side, and all of you guys would be executed immediately if you fail to win and obey," he answered darkly, warning them. "This is between Hunters and Survivors, whichever side loses, they'll all be executed except the winner side."

     The room became cold as the hunters all looked shocked and desperate. It was as if they were destined to become the killers of the Dark side . . .  As if on cue to break the sudden silence, "I won't let you do this to me and to anyone," Jack argued, "The one to desperately lose is you, Monokuma!" 

     "I hate to agree with you, Monokuma, but Jack's right," Michiko agreed with him, still covering half of her face, "We're not that selfish to support such an inappropriate game." 

     As everyone else in the room started to disagree with Monokuma, Monokuma literally had enough of this. "Why can't you all be smart enough and play this game! OR is that too hard to say 'Yes'?!" He threw his hands out in anger. 

     "Sorry, but it looks like you won't be able to convince us to do such a horrible thing," Wu Chang said, "So let us go immediately."

     Monokuma stood down silently, until he started to laugh unexpectedly, "Puhuhuhuhuhu!"

     "What's so funny?" Robbie asked, "Or do you perhaps want us to all take you down by ourselves?" He clutched his axe just in case if Monokuma would do something cheap to him. 

     Finally after a few moments of laughing, Monokuma giggled with glee, "Well, talking to you all is just so difficult, isn't it? Should I prepare a motive for you all to agree or...?" He pulled down the lever next him and the room instantly plummeted into gas smoke. 

     Breathing in the chemicals Monokuma had placed a trap, the hunters slowly dropped down one by one as they tried to fight for control. "I... can't....Brea-" Joker began, but then his eyes quickly turned into pitch darkness. It wasn't long before the others joined too, all eyes were turned black as well. 

     "Puhuhuhuhu, now this is fun!" Monokuma laughed as he watched all of them become his servants. "Now, who should begin first?" He glanced at each and every one of them, "Let's make it a little warm up, 'shall we? Leo Beck, isn't that right?" Monokuma stood over in front of him. 

     "Yes, master, " Leo Beck answered, voice sounding very dull all of a sudden. 

     "Alright, Leo Beck," Monokuma patted his back, "It's time for you to play the first round with the first group, so give it all you got, and don't lose or else I'll be so disappointed in you," he said. 

     Leo Beck nodded hesitantly before exiting out the door. "Puhuhuhuhu, the game has now begun, so watch out survivors!!" Monokuma laughed darkly. "You'll need it, anyways~"
