4 The Build Up.

The bus was empty, except for lonely old me. Watching the trees wave at me as I was being driven along. As time passed the empty seats began to fill up, getting closer to our destination.

I was tapped on the shoulder by someone, breaking me out of my thoughts. It was a girl with long brown hair and grey eyes, she was the same age as me. She was also very pretty, but if I called her that, I think she might run away and call the police. "Hey, is this seat free?"

Without thinking, "Yeah, it is." She immediately sat down next to me. For about 2 minutes there was silence, well that was until she turned towards me holding up her phone. On it was a picture of a bunch of people lining up outside the local game shop and another, with me holding the town's first Star System.

"This is you right?" I only hummed in acknowledgment. Looking down for a moment, it looked like she was struggling to ask about something. "Umm.. did you get the My Hero Academia game?" I nodded. "Yeah I did too. What did you choose as your alignment? I chose Vigilante."

"I picked Villain. It's more unique than being a Hero at least. There's nothing wrong with being the villain once in your life." I guess she understood what I said, as she looked away in pain as if she knew I was right. People aren't normally like that. "For my character I chose Junko from Danganronpa."

"Oh well… I can't say I've seen Danganronpa before, but I think I know who she is. Well, for me I chose A.." Before I could hear what she said, the bus came to a stop and the intercom rang out. "I wish we could continue talking, but I really need to go or I'll be late. See ya!"

I got off the bus and on the horizon I could see her running into the college building. I guess more hell awaits me.

-At Home-

As my mother always said, "Same shit, different day." Which perfectly highlights every single day of college that I've experienced so far, including this one. The professors would go on and on, expecting us to write notes, give us an assignment and tell us to get lost right after.

One thing that I learnt today was that the girl's name is Lily. I met her again on the way to eat, we had another chat about the Star System and how amazing it was. She told me she wouldn't be able to ride the same bus as she had to go out somewhere. So when it came to the end of the day, I left by myself.

Once I had arrived back home I said my greetings to my parents, ate some food and dashed upstairs. Placing the Star System over my head, I jumped into the game…

…

-Inside Junko's Room-

For a second a disturbing buzz sent shivers down my spine, that feeling slowly dissipating as calmness was soon all I felt. Opening my eyelids I was welcomed by a blank white ceiling. It took me a while to remember what I had to do… 'Oh yeah, I need to go UA with Mr. My Skin Is Drier Than My Personality.'

Climbing out of the very comfortable bed, I glanced towards a mirror and saw some black, white and red pajamas. Matching Monokuma's Aesthetics. Thinking about it, it feels like I'm completely assimilated into this body, it all feels so natural. I guess it shows how well-made this system is.

I made sure I was in tip top pristine shape. Showering and all that stuff. Not to stand out, just in case the Marco player sees me again, I kept my hair down. Instead of wearing the usual, I put on a black hoodie, light blue denim ripped jeans along with brown sandals and a white baseball cap. Real clean right?

I'm pretty sure mum and dad weren't back yet, so I would be able to sneak out the house without any issue. Tiptoeing down the stairs, looking left and right like some Mission Impossible type move. After surveying the whole house, I was right. It was time to put this plan into action.

-Outside-

Thankfully, my house was positioned close to UA, which means I don't have to buy a train ticket or take any sort of public transport.

Like the day before, seeing all these people really makes me appreciate the world of Heroes and Villains. Deep inside however, a small, but nasty and monstrous feeling embedded in my heart was creeping out, ready to take over…

-3rd POV-

A lone man stood in the center of a park. It was empty due to the fact that many of its usual inhabitants were at school, no one was there to look at the man in confusion and fear. His hand-covered face, frowning in annoyance. "Where the hell is she?"

He had been waiting there for fifteen minutes. After ten he debated just leaving and going to UA himself. His patience hanging on with a thin thread. That all came to an end when he saw her walk up to him. "Hey, sorry I'm late. No one specified which time I had to come." He ignored her and walked away, presumably to their destination. She quickly followed behind.

The conversation was unmoving, scratch that, there was no conversation at the start. Shigaraki remained in the lead with Junko following behind. "So… what's your favourite scratching spot?" He turned around, staring at her in confusion and disgust. "I'm just asking, I remember you scratching the hell out of your neck yesterday. Make sure to take care of your skin."

"If it wasn't for master's orders, I would have ripped you apart." Deep inside he knew he couldn't, after what happened yesterday, it still left a little scar in his mind.

In response she laughed hysterically, until she paused. Then releasing her wild and uncontrollable aura. Stabbing deep into his very soul, "If it wasn't for his orders, I would kill you, over and over and over and over, for eternity. Drowning forever in your pain and despair."

Once her aura was concealed, she could further notice his fear, although it was forcefully withheld. "Upupupu, I was only kidding. Don't be so on edge. Just one question though, why didn't you get Kurogiri to warp us there?"

"It doesn't matter." Turning away again he continued his march. Junko smiled with suspicion, as if she knew the reason. Up ahead, a large quantity of voices could be heard on top of the hill. As Junko was aware, this is the day when the media learned that All Might was the new faculty member. And those voices are those annoying reporters.

Now at the top of the hill, they spotted the crowd of reporters lining outside the now locked entrance, all thanks to the school's security system. Looking up, she admired the glass twin H shaped building that stood out.

The duo stared at the group for a while until Junko spoke up. "We're gonna tear down that wall, right?"

"Yeah… we are."

…

-Junko's POV-

I stood back as Shigaraki approached the crowd, "I can get that open for you."

They were all alerted and turned towards him, they grew concerned, maybe fearful. Mostly, they saw him as a possible way to get to All Might. Only one person questioned him, "Who are you?"

He chuckled, "I'm just like you, I want everyone to see All Might. In his full glory." I could tell that those words had a different meaning and I'm sure there was a little bit of disgust when uttering the word "glory".

Somehow they were convinced that he was good, which allowed him to approach the barricade. Placing four fingers on the metal, he turned back towards the crowd. "Make sure to stay at the front, I don't want to cause the students any panic." Again, that was partly a lie.

His last finger made contact, breaking the entrance's blockade into dust. The reporters charged passed him, shouting for their dear lives that they want to see All Might.

"Oi, Kurogiri it's time." In response to his call, the mass of dark energy appeared next to him. I took this as a hint to stand next to him as the mass consumed us. We were gone.

-Inside UA-

We had warped into a classroom, a figure sat in the middle seat at the front row. It surprised me, I had suspicions when watching the anime, but I didn't think it would be them. The Traitor.

The expression on their face was blank, but for some reason I could see something else. A face of regret and anger, it was as if they had been forced into it. Shigaraki spoke to speed it up. "Tell us what we need to know."

Their face remained the same, but the slight hesitation to speak proved that deep inside they were asking for help. Once the alarm had begun ringing they knew that no one would come to save them.

"Tomorrow, Class 1-A will be going to the USJ for rescue training. All Might will be there." The further along in the sentence, the more the feeling of despair was present.

"The master will reward you for your service." Kurogiri replied. " I guess it is time for us to leave. Don't tell anyone of our meeting, you do know the consequences… right?" Without wasting a second they nodded.

Kurogiri's darkness began to consume us. I looked into their eyes and they met mine. It was more intense than before. 'Help me.'

…

-LOV Hideout-

We were met with All For One's voice radiating from the television. "Ho ho, I see it's gone rather well. Thank you for being there with him."

"It was fine, he did all the work, I just watched him." He only laughed in response to my claim.

"I'm certain that your journey over to UA didn't have any problems… right?" Now that made me even more certain. The reason why Kurogiri didn't warp us there first, was because he wanted his disciple to try and gather information on me and to test whether I was trustworthy. Although, my previous threat to kill him over and over may make me untrustworthy.

"Nope! There were no hiccups, we just had a nice and friendly conversation. Isn't that right Mr. Hand?" He had enough and left the room. I guess he was annoyed I called him Mr.Hand.

"I see. Kurogiri will fill me in on the details. Our meeting will commence early in the morning, so make sure you are awake, Kurogiri will come collect you. Farewell."

His weird shadows came over to me and began to warp my body. In reply I saluted. "Oke boss."

…

-3rd POV-

Junko's body disappeared from their hideout, and in response Shigaraki came back inside. Sitting back down on his favourite stool, he awaited his master's words.

"Tell me what really happened." Compared to his previous tone of voice, it was much different. All his fake cheerfulness was gone and it was replaced by malice.

"She's a danger to our plans… I saw it… her soul. It's full of putrid colours mixed together, full of.. despair. Her power is limitless. If she betrays us, I'm sure we won't be able to stop her."

All For One thought differently, "She won't. I already know what she is really like. She revels in despair, it's her life's goal to see it. The path we will take, will be filled with it and she knows it. In the event that she does… I have a way to remove her. Just focus on the plan."

What is in store for our otherworldly and despair loving villain, will her desire to cause despair continue to burn or will it run out of fuel. Only time will tell.
