     *Everything's A-Okay~! Uh, Besides the part where Lucky Guy is now going to be chased by Lisa-- I don't know what to say! Anyways, let's just continue on, 'shall we? I don't know why, but this story gets even more weirder than ever... Like, why did I put it like that? I dunno...? I guess I'm just coming up with weird explanations? Or, I think there is another word for that--*


     Lucky Guy's P.O.V: "?" 


     I don't know why, but I felt so exhausted having to run all the way to the main room where I found almost everybody waiting for me there...

     "Lucky Guy? Did you overslept?" Tracy rolled her eyes at me. "And where's Emma? Wasn't she with you?"

     Oh, right... 

     "Emma--" I did my best to catch my breath as I panted heavily in front of them. "She--Lisa, wants to...I...ran...and..."

     "Woah, take it easy there, Lucky Guy," Norton came over to pat me on my back. "You don't look alright, what's the matter?"

     "Yeah," William agreed. "It's kind of strange you'd stayed in your room almost the whole day yesterday after the 3rd trial..."

     "Not to mention we were worrying sick if you'll be okay," Luca added, giving me a soft smile. "After all, no pressure since we still haven't found the last trait--"

     "She wants to kill me!" I snapped, having to wait so long to say what's on my mind. 

     . . . 

     The whole room went completely silent as if my words had cut deep into their despair... So strong, everybody looked confused and startled by my words...

     . . . 

     "Wait, what?" Freddy was the first to recover his senses as he grabbed me tightly on both of my shoulders, forcing me to look at him. "Who is it? Tell me, who?!"

     My eyes drifted down on the ground and I hesitated, wondering if I should say Emma's name or Lisa... 

     It's Lisa, alright. NO doubt about it... 

     "It's... It's--"


     "It's me, alright!" A voice came from the front entrance of the main room as the doors were burst wide open. And there stood Lisa, smirking at us as she stood there with her hands on her waist. 

     Just like I had expected, she looks really identical to Emma! Although, the way she glanced over at me, made me feel even more uncomfortable than ever in my life...

     "Lisa," I grumbled to myself as our eyes met, still holding onto the gadget in my hands. 

     "Wait, so it was actually Emma who's the last traitor?!" Servais couldn't hold back his gasp when he stared at the traitor. "H-how?"

     "No, it's not Lisa," I corrected the magician. "She's a part of Emma." And then adding, "Long-story-short, she's the reason behind all of this! Those plans to get her traitor's group killed and using Emma's personality as a decoy to manipulate her actions to confuse us," I suddenly pointed straight at her. "The one who wants to kill me, it's you, Lisa!"

     Not as surprised as she was since I have caught her actions, Lisa simply shrugged as if she doesn't even bother at all. "So I see you're understanding me so well~ Big deal!" She instantly glared at me. "And so what? It's not like it's the end of the day where you gets to decide who get to live. After all~ My life is on the line, thanks to you, Lucky Guy!"

     "Your life?" I echoed, suddenly frustrated at hearing her talk nothing but herself. "What about Emma's life? You're basically ruining everything for us and her as well!"

     "You talk as if you knew me..." Lisa crossed her arms at me. "But I see no point in arguing with you."

     "Then hold on a second," I stopped her. "Were you the one who took me back up to my room?"

     "Maybe I did? Maybe I didn't," Lisa smirked as she closed her eyes to walk up in front of me. Then opening up her eyes to meet mine, she finally whispered in my ears, "Like I would ever help you, tell that to somebody who disagrees with me..."

     My eyes widened... 

     "You're not talking about Emma, are you?" I took a step back away from her. "She was... I mean... She--"

     "Aww~ Emma's just trying to play her role," Lisa made a innocent face at me before walking past me with a huge grin on her face. "And now that Emma has no absolute control over me anymore~ I think it's time to play a little game, don't you agree?"

     "I think I like it better when Emma's here," Emily muttered, looking forlorn at the traitor. 

     Hearing this, Lisa mocked at the doctor, "I think I like it better when Emma's here~" She mimicked in a tone precisely to make Emily upset. "Ha! Who cares about some lame friendships?!" 

     "Emma's our friend!" Martha exclaimed, standing right in front of Lisa. Then frowning at the traitor, "You have no right to do this! You should be ashamed of yourself, Lisa-- Or whoever you really are!"

     "Ashamed?" Lisa repeated with a laugh. "Ha! More like 'I'm enjoying myself~'" And with that, she turned her attention on me. "After I end Lucky Guy's life, that is..."

   

     . . . 



     "Well, in that case," the coordinator's eyes fell onto the floor before looking straight back at her, "Then you deserve this, you despicable traitor!" And without warning, Martha pointed her flare gun at Lisa, and fired her shot directly at her--


     *Boom*

     . . . 

     As the red smoke slowly died down, we all opened our eyes steadily to find--

     "Let her go!" Jose glared at Lisa who was pinning down Martha onto the ground. 

     "Jose, wait!" Murro tried to grab Jose to stop him, but it was too late. 

     Jose had literally ran up to those two, and Lisa had managed to jump back around to slam the first officer against the wall.

     Technically, she knows how to fight for sure... And she's not afraid to use it on us.... However, I still don't know the reason why she wanted to kill me... I have to make sure!


     "Lisa," I began, getting her attention again. Unfortunately when she turned to glance at me, William charged at her, knocking her back onto the floor in which she landed on the ground with a *thud.*

     Cursing at William for that, Lisa didn't hesitate to get back up onto the ground with a double flip, and glared at us with the most hateful expressions I have ever seen. 

     And immediately on that second, she dashed over to me, prepared to end my life with a knife in her other hands, and I felt helpless to escape...

     "Oh, no you don't!" Robbie shouted as he hurled his axe to stop her halfway from reaching towards me. "First of all, you have to get through me first!" He told her after watching Lisa glare back at him. 

     "And me too!" Luchino added, standing in front of her to block her reach to get to me.

     "And don't forget about us!" The rest of the hunters and the survivors said as they all backed me up. 


     Those guys... I don't know what to say... But... 


     "Hang on," I began, "You guys can't risk your lives for me! It'll be too dangerous!! And you don't know what she's capable of!!!"

     "We trust you Lucky Guy," Tracy confessed, still staring at Lisa with a determined look on her face. 

     "I agree!" Melly replied, turning to face my direction, "We trust you'll be the one to help us escape from this place!"

     "And that's the reason why she's not going to lay a finger on you!" Joker said, adjusting his rocket. 

     
     . . . 

     I don't know what to say about this.... But... THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS!! 

     Looking over at Lisa as everybody body-blocked me. I could see it in Lisa's eyes... My vision twisted as the hatred on her face turned slowly into sadness... Not like she was afraid or anything... However, I could see it passed those surfaces... It wasn't actually Lisa who I'm really seeing, but it was Emma... Emma's smiling at me, and she too, wanted to help me as well...



     And I know one thing for sure... 



     Lisa wasn't happy at all... 



     And now the table is turned on her...



     "Hm, this is interesting," a familiar voice piped up across from us as Monokuma stood there to watch. 

     . . . 

     Monokuma? What is he doing here, showing up late just now? Was he... Spectating? Although, it seems to me, I wasn't the only one surprised to see him show up...

     . . . 

     "What are you doing here, Monokuma?" Lisa raised her eyebrows at the headmaster, still holding the knife in her hands. "You said you would allowe me to kill Lucky Guy if you weren't here!"

     "Unfortunately, there is some change of plans," Monokuma chuckled out loud. "Puhuhu, at this rate if you keep on going, you'll never succeed alone!"

     "Grh--!" Lisa clenched her fist in anger as she glared at the headmaster. "And why not? It was all going according to plan, wasn't it!?"

     "Not exactly," Monokuma responded before turning back to all of us. "Since I'm really, really, reeeaaalllyyy tired of watching you guys... Let's start the final level 'shall we?" Chuckling, "The game where it all ends now, determines your fate! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

      . . . 


     Well, we're not scared of our fate... We're born ready for this! AND SO AM I!



     "But--" Lisa began, her mouth opened, and she was very speechless at what's going on. "But Monokuma, I... I..."

     "You failed me again, Lisa," Monokuma shook his head, his face darkened. "Now I know where you belong~"

     Belong? Why does that sound... Odd? Oh my gosh, wait a minute! The reason why she wanted to kill me--

     I sadly glanced at Lisa, "You... You..."

     She wiped her tears away. "I guess it's time for punishment for me, isn't it?"

     . . . 

     "Hey, cut some slack for her!" I shouted, walking straight over to Monokuma. "She doesn't deserve this! You actually forced her!?"

     "Yep, that's right!" Monokuma didn't deny it, but said it very cheerfully. "Since this little brat~ wants to become the next Remnant of Despair, she is allowed to live under the condition that she kills you in order to live. If she fails, you get the point."

     I looked past her shoulders to find her looking away... 

     "What if I made another agreement, Monokuma?" I suggested, turning my attention back at Monokuma. "If we defeat you in this final game, Emma and Lisa won't earn their punishment for not killing me."

     "And what about me? What do I get if I win this game?" Monokuma eyed me closely. 

     . . . 

     "You get..." I faltered, fearing my words would hurt my friends very deeply if I set this promise...

     . . . 

     "Pst! Lucky Guy," Mike shook his head at me, "Don't!"

     "I know what you're thinking," Freddy pointed it out as he patted my back. "But think about all the things Lisa had done! She deserves that punishment!"

     "Yeah, you should be selfish, Lucky Guy," Jose advised me. 

     "Plus, it's better that way if we don't have any more traitors in our group!" Burke added as well. 


     . . . 

     My eyes turned over to Lisa who was still mad at me with her arms crossed... 

     What does she think I was going to choose anyway?

     . . . 

     "I have decided," I stared back at Monokuma. "If you win, Monokuma... I suppose the rule was that all of us get punished, including Lisa. But... But..." I thought of a different way to put it. "You'll also have OUR despair. How does that sound to you?"

     "Hmm..." The headmaster paused to think about this...

     "Meaning," I rephrased it again. "We'll give you all the despair that we have... to please you..."


     Monokuma tilted his head curiously at me. "All the despair? That... Sounds... Like... A..."

    
     I held my breath for a second...


     "A great idea!" Monokuma beamed happily as he chanted. "No more hope! No more in between hope and despair! Just DESPAIR!"


     Yeah... I can't wait for you to feel that despair when you lose, Monokuma... 

     Mark My Words. 

     
___________________________

     Okay, quick announcement. The End Is Going To Come Near. Just be a little more patient with me, thanks! 

    P.S: Think about it. After learning that Lisa was motivated by Monokuma to kill Lucky Guy, do you guys think she should be saved? Or should she suffer the consequences of her actions? I mean, I'm open to opinions. And if not, just keep on reading once it's updated. (To me, I think Lisa should deserve a chance, what do you guys think about that?)
