Chapter 10- The Outside World
"Jordan?!" I gasped.
"You're supposed to be dead!" Jay cried.
"How did you survive!?" Pat asked.
"I didn't. Or really, Ant didn't." Jordan said, "we switched places, AntVenom and I. I controlled Monokuma, and he was me."
Now that I looked at him, this Jordan was different. The Jordan I had met carried himself in a different way than this one. This Jordans black hair was straighter then the others. And his voice was different. It also explained why his elimination had to do with PVP.
"you're the Mastermind!?" Sly asked.
"Guilty as charged kid." Jordan said, shrugging.
"He's not the only one." Liz said sourly, "there's a whole group of people who run these Despair Mills."
"Yeah..." Jordan said, "have you met one of my other... friends?"
"Even better," Replied Liz, "I escaped from one. Barney and Ross are dead."
Jordan's face flashed with shock for a moment, then it became the smirk again.
"It doesn't matter if they die. If I die. All that matters is Despair." He said, "You can never get rid of Despair. Wherever there is Hope, Despair is always lurking. It's like two sides of the same coin."
"You're crazy." I said.
"We're leaving, Jordan." Liz said, "get out of the way."
That's when I heard something behind me that sent chills down my spine. When I looked behind us, I saw something that hadn't appeared since it ate Tyler. The Creature charged at us.
I'm pretty sure everyone else but Liz screamed. Her eyes widened, then she turned on Jordan, and pulled the trigger. A bullet hole appeared in his forehead. Before the body hit the ground, Liz grabbed it and threw it behind us.
"Run!" She yelled, not acknowledging the sounds of tearing meat behind us.
I tried not to think about it. We ran to the elevator, and Liz started to try to pry the doors of the elevator open.
"Help me!" She cried. We raced over, and together the seven of us opened the elevator doors, and piled in. The Creature had finished its snack, and charged at us again. The doors closed just as the Creature leaped at us. There was a SNAP! And eight razor sharp looking, blood tipped claws in the elevator with us.
"Going up." Liz said, pressing a button.
"Seriously, who are you?" Sly asked, "we go through all of that, and you don't even look fazed!"
"Trust me Sly, I'm internally freaking out right now..." Liz replied.
"I still can't get over how you know all our names..." Moon said.
"Like I said, I've watched all your channels." Liz said, leaning against a wall and sliding into a sitting position, "then, about three years ago..."
"Wait, three years?" Lizzie asked.
"Oh yeah, you wouldn't know..." Liz said, "three years ago, I went to this place called Clover High. I lived there for two years, then my memories were altered, so I forgot. I got trapped there with fifteen other people. Ross and Barney were kind of the Masterminds there. They died. The past year me and the other survivors have tried to locate other places like that. We call them Despair Mills, because their only purpose is to cause Despair in everyone who still holds on to Hope..."
"We've been here...." Pat said, "For three years!?"
"You said there were other survivors..." I started, "Do the names Nick, Corey, Tommy, or Ashlie ring any bells?"
Liz winced.
"They were all with me, but..." she started, "only Nick and Tommy are alive still..."
"Oh..." I said, trying to not let it get to me.
"Sorry Uni" Liz said.
There was a ding! And the Elevator opened to the new world. Before we left, Liz stopped us.
"Everyone, take one of these." Liz said, holding the Creatures claws in her hand.
"Why?" Jay asked.
"Well, as a memento of the triumph today!" Liz said, handing us each one, "and if not, they make good weapons."
I smiled, and took one.
"Alright, let's get out of here." Moon said .
"I'm with you on that!" Sly said.
"Ditto" Pat said
"Ditto too." Jay said.
"Me too" Lizzie smiled
"Let's go" I said
Then we stepped out into the world.
----- 5 months later-----
"Uni! Run!" I heard Tommy yell.
"Crap!" I muttered.
I looked over, and saw Tommy, Nick, and Jess running from several Monokuma robots. The things had been running around the city, killing and causing chaos. They were like normal Monokuma, with sharp teeth and claws.
"Hurry!" Jess squeaked.
"Way ahead of you Jess!" Nick yelped, dodging several claws.
"We need to get back to the Foundation Headquarters, NOW!!" I yelled, running next to them.
"There's a duct we can go through, hurry!" Nick cried, "follow me!"
"Huhuhu~!" The Monokumas chuckled in unison.
"I *wheeze* hate *huff* that stupid *pant* bear!" Tommy yelled.
We made several turns through the post apocalyptic Washington, where most of the survivors were located, and where Liz took us. Her and her friends were being helped by someplace called the Future Foundation, which was located in Japan, but is branching out to help other countries.
"Here! Nick yelled.
Her ran, then dove into a small tunnel. Jess went next, then Tommy, then Me.
"Hurry Uni, those things are catching up!" Jess cried on the other end of the tunnel.
I wriggled through as fast as I could, and made it out. But the Monokumas started to try to crawl through the tunnel after us!
"Nick..." I started.
"I see it!" He replied, "Jess!"
Jess threw something small down the tunnel, and Nick pressed a button. BOOM!! The tunnel exploded. I could hear the screeches of tearing metal as the monstrous Monokumas were either blown up on impact, or crushed by collapsing tunnel.
"Come on," Tommy said, "let's get back to the others."
"Yeah," I said, "let's head out."
As the four of us made our way carefully to our friends, and I smiled. Me and my friends, we were going to be ok.
