Description
Dead Man’s PartySaihara found himself sitting at the head of a long banquet table. He was in a large room with windows behind the table and heard the sound of rain from outside. Eight Monokumas sat at the table with another Monokuma and the Monocubs dressed up as detectives from Scotland Yard. An effigy of Amami also sat at one of the chairs and Saihara stared at it with a puzzled expression. Why would they have an effigy of Amami here? Next, Saihara looked down and realized that his wrists were chained to the chair and he struggled to break free. Then, he noticed a strange note in front of him on the table. It read:
Dear Saihara,
There’s a killer at this little party of ours. Can you figure out the mystery before there are none? This shouldn’t be a problem for the Ultimate Detective. After all, you’ve already solved one casein your whole career. Puhuhuhu! Figure it out quickly. It would “pain” me to see you fail in the end.
Signed,
Inspector Monokuma
Suddenly, the lights went out and Saihara heard footsteps moving around the table. When the lights flickered on, he saw one of the Monokumas slumped over in its chair, its hands clutching its throat as it lay there dead.
Interesting. Was the cause of death strangulation? If so, then-
At that moment, Saihara felt his throat tighten as the chain around his neck started to choke him. While he could still breathe (albeit barely), the chain squeezed like a boa constrictor, unwilling to let go of its prey.
The power went out a second time and another Monokuma was killed. This time, the Monokuma’s eyes were closed and Saihara could see a drop of poison dripping from its neck. Then, Saihara felt a prick on the back of his neck and started to feel tired as his mind grew a little foggy.
I get it. If I fail to save a Monokuma, I feel the same pain that they felt when being killed.
As Saihara racked his brain to figure out connections between the two murders to find the culprit, the lights shut off once more. When they turned back on, another Monokuma was killed but there was not a trace of the Monokuma anywhere. It was if the Monokuma simply vanished. He then saw a note in that Monokuma’s place that said, “Gone hibernating. See you never.” Saihara anticipated another injury but one never came so he sighed with relief.
At this time, Monodam snuck up behind Monokid and was carrying an axe in his hands. The power went out again but this time, a bolt of lightning came from the sky and Saihara could see Monodam raise the axe over his head. The flash disappeared and there was the sickening sound of metal being sliced. The power returned and Saihara saw another Monokuma dead at the table with an axe buried deep into its back with a stuffing pouring out a huge gash. Shuichi also shrieked as he saw Monokid’s severed head in front of him. He shrieked again, this time in pain, as he felt a sharp pain in his back and saw Monodam slice open a large gash on his back. Blood oozed freely from the wound and Saihara felt a little bit sick. The Monocubs looked on in horror at their brother’s head while Monodam seemed almost proud of his murderous deed.
Almost immediately after being Saihara was slashed, the power went out again and returned as yet another Monokuma was murdered. This time, the Monokuma was covered in bee stings and there was a mechanical hornet hovering over its head. The hornet looked its sight on Saihara and shot barbed bullet-like stingers at him, causing him to cry out in pain as the impact of the stingers covered his skin in swollen bumps.
Again, the power went out but lightning flashed once more as Saihara briefly saw a humanoid figure swiftly movings towards its next. When the lights turned back on, the figure was gone and another Monokuma was dead in its chair, this time wearing a judge uniform with blood oozing from its head with a bloody gavel in front of it. Saihara yelped as a gavel slammed onto his left hand, shattering his wrist bone with a sickening crunch.
On the verge of tears, Saihara tried to keep his cool and deduced that the one killing the Monokumas had to be a robotic replica of one of his classmates. His thought process was cut short as the power flickered off yet again but not before Saihara could get another brief look at the killer. The killer was of average height and frame so Saihara ruled out Gokuhara ad Hoshi. Is the robot supposed to represent the mastermind? Is that who I’m trying to find here?
When the power turned back on, another Monokuma lay dead with its head resting on the table as water gushed out of its mouth. Monokuma handed a wet towel to his cubs and they ran over to Shuichi. They leaped onto the table and shoved it in front of his nose and mouth. The waterboarding, combined with the ongoing constriction of his chain collar, prevented him from breathing all together. He almost passed out, but the cubs took the towel away before that could happen. He started gasping for breath and noticed that the only remaining guests at the party were himself, a Monokuma, and Amami,
His brain started racing into overdrive as he realized that time was almost up. He was afraid of what might happen next due to all of the injuries he had suffered throughout his punishment. Like clockwork, the lights shut off again, but Saihara got another quick look at the killer as yet another bolt of lightning flashed. This time, Saihara saw a distinct bustline on the killer and it narrowed down his list.
Is the mastermind a female then? Who is she?
The lights turned back on and Saihara saw a massively buuf Monokuma squeezing the life out of the last remaining Monokuma guest. The buff Monokuma killed its victim and the Monokuma ran to Saihara dn trapped him in a bear hug. Saihara screamed in pain as the wound on his back flared with pain and his breathing was cut off once more. Once again, before he could pass out or die, the pain stopped and the buff Monokuma ran off. The only guests left were himself and Amami.
The lights shut off again and a large flame lit up Rantaro’s seat. From the light, Saihara could see that the killer had long hair, so he was able to rule out more people. Before the killer disappeared, he caught a flash of blue. The lights turned back on and the effigy of Rantaro was on fire. At that moment, Saihara felt a searing heat as Monokuma took a lighter and lit his clothes on fire. The detective’s eyes teared up with pain but he remained calm and had a brief burst of confidence.
I know who the mastermind is now! I have to reveal the truth to everyone before I die!
Panting from blood loss, asphyxiation, drowsiness, heat exhaustion, and overall pain, Saihara opened his mouth to speak but he heard a sudden click. He looked down and saw that his wrist restraints were unlocked. It was at that moment that h realized exactly what the punishment was meant to be. He remembered the last line of the iconic murder mystery poem.
One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were none.
Suddenly, the chain around his neck started rapidly ascending into the ceiling as he was violently jerked upwards. He dangled in mid air for a few seconds and clutched his throat as the tension on the chain strangled him and cut off his airway completely. He tried to call out the mastermind’s name, but it was too late. The Ultimate Detective hanged on the ceiling a battered, bloody, and defeated mess as he was unable to solve a mystery to save his life. Monokuma pulled out a case file that read: “Monokuma Party Mystery”. He stamped it with a red stamp of his face on it and some writing. He held it up to show the students. The writing read: “Shuichi Saihara was killed by the mastermind. Case closed!”
