Chapters prologue (pre killing game)
“Such a peaceful day.” Starlight thought. The purple-ish pony was having a what seemed to be a good Nap. Until she woke up. The pony was surrounded by boarded up windows, other classroom desk, and she woke up on a desk too. The classroom looked like a jail, boarded up, and sort of old like something way back in time.
“Ag- what! Where am I?” The pony questioned herself until she came across a letter that told her what ultimate she is, and to meet at the gym at 8:00 am sharp. The pony glanced at the clock with half closed eyes. It was 7:57, she had “time.”
“W-where am I..?” She asked herself again. She looked at the paper once more and it had a map on it her ultimate and to meet at the gym.
“Starlight Glimmer, the ultimate hope”
“Meet at the gym, 8:00 am sharp.”
Starlight sighed followed the map and went to the gym to see what this was all about.
-
The purple pony opened the door to the gym, just to see 14 other ponies that she recognized.
“Starlight! You’re here too?” A familiar voice she heard come from a purple Alicorn that goes by the name “Twilight sparkle.”
“Oh hey Twilight.. what’s going on here?” Starlight asked.
“None of us are too sure.. but did you happen to wake up in a classroom with a note that said come to the gym and with your ultimate on it? The purple Alicorn asked.
“Yes I did! I got “The ultimate hope.”
“Well, it’s nice to know maybe this isn’t a bad thing! These ultimates seem pretty cool! I got “The ultimate friendship” Rainbow dash got “The ultimate athlete”, and Fluttershy got “The ultimate caregiver!” There’s a lot more too.
“Well it’s nice to know that everything might be solved soon! I’ll check out everypony else’s ultimates as well!
“Ok then! Talk to you later!”
Starlight went over to the blue Magician pony named “Trixie Lulamoon.” To talk to her to see what her ultimate was.
“Hey trixie! How are you?”
“You are here too?? My my why did they drag all of us here and make us sit in this boring miserable gym. Trixie says in a dramatic miserable tone.
“I don’t know either, but I’m assuming you woke up in a classroom was told to come here and was assigned a ultimate.
“That happened to you too? I guess that means you’re the last one.
“What do you mean, “the last one”?
“There’s only supposed to be 16 students in this building apparently, before we were kidnapped and brought here all the students *well, except for you I guess* we saw that there were 16 of us and when everypony gets here we will start, but we still haven’t started yet so I don’t know.. but one thing everyone saw right before they passed out, *or kidnapped into the classroom* there was this board on the wall that said “sixteen students remaining.” It was covered in in pink with what looked like outlines of all of our bodies, and.. that’s how we knew there was 16 of us, they didn’t tell us anything.”
“That’s kind of weird, brushing it off though, when I came in I only saw 14 other ponies.”
“Perhaps, so far I know these people that were dragged here: “Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Sunset, Princess cadence, Twilight, the rest of her friends, you, me, Spike, chancellor neighsay, sunburst, and maud.. but I think spike went to the bathroom so yeah.” The blue pony said in her Normal tone.
“Well then, no wonder we haven’t started yet Trixie.”
“Oh yeah maybe that’s why.”
Starlight gave trixie a look.
“Well I’m going to talk to everyone else.. see you late- wait what’s your ultimate?”
“Oh! I’m so glad you asked! I’m “The ultimate stage magician!” Whoever made this sure knows how to appreciate stage magic.”
Starlight chuckled. “That’s good.”
—
The light purple pony walked over to sunset.
“Oh hey sunset! It’s been a while!”
“Ohh hi Starlight! I didn’t know you would be here too, what’s you’re ultimate? I got “ultimate guitarist” That sort of seems like a rainbow dash thing, but she got ultimate athlete.
“Yeah definitely, I got ultimate hope!”
“That’s cool!” I still want to know why we are here though.”
“I know right, and when is spike coming out of the bathroom, I’m tired of waiting.”
“Oh! Speaking of bathroom, I-uh gotta go.” Sunset sprints off to the bathroom while Starlight is just standing there a bit annoyed.
The ultimate justice talked to all the other ultimates and they all had the same story.
list of all the ultimates:
Celestia: Ultimate leader
Finally, after a few minutes, Spike and Sunset returned from the bathroom and a familiar voice they did not want to hear came on the speaker.
Everyone stopped their conversations to listen, not that they were happy about it.
The voice was..
Discord.
“Puhuhuhu, Good morning everypony, please mosey you’re way on to the tape with your name on it so I can begin the speech.” Discord had said in his normal definitely not weird voice.
Discord did a whole dramatic entrance by flipping on the stage in the gym from behind the curtains and landed in a split.
Everyone gasped.
“You. Why did you bring us here and what do you want!” Applejack said in a angry voice
“Yeah what she said!” Pinkie pie adds on.
“This is simply unacceptable.” Rarity also yelled.
It soon turned into everyone yelling until discord yelled a big STOP. The whole gym shook and everypony got quiet.
“Ugh you ponies are no fun, since you all are soo desperate to know what’s got good on I’ll cut to the chase.” Discord says.
“You better! Or you’re going back to stone prison!” Twilight yells out of anger.
“Wait give him a chance to explain he’s *reformed* remember?” Fluttershy says in a worried tone.
“I have gathered you all here today to play a game, and you can’t refuse because you will be trapped in here forever if you don’t play it.”
“What’s this dumb game if yours! You shall speak! I order you too!” Princess Luna says in a Canterlot voice.
“Oh You can stop trying to be scary, your magic doesn’t work here!”
All the unicorns/Alicorns tried to use their magic and failed.
“What have you done!?” Chancellor says.
“Give it back!” Trixie says.
“Oh hohoho, I’d be happy to give it back, but there is a catch.” Discord says smirking.
“Enlighten us.” Sunset says in a deep voice.
“Sum’ good ol’ chop’ chop’ swing’ swing, stab stab!” Discord says trying to add a joke into it.
“W-what! You want us to kill each other to get our magic back- and I’m assuming to escape! “Rarity says worried.
“I don’t think so!” Sunset says.
Everyone starts yelling until discord yells again and they stop.
As some seconds passed, Starlight finally speaks.
“Everyone! Don’t loose hope yet, I’m sure there’s a way we can get out of here without murdering any pony!”
“Oh- at- at- ah I don’t think that little “plan” will work, because I don’t see some murder by tomorrow, you are all dead.”
Everyone is now worried, and they have no clue what they are going to do. They feel hopeless.
“Well! Feel free to explore! There are no limits. One more thing before this meeting comes to a end, here are the school rules:
Sharing ones dorm keys are strictly prohibited.
“We have dorms..?” Maud says in her normal voice.
Violence against discord is prohibited and will result in a automatic death
Nighttime hours are 10:00pm - 7:00am, so after 10 you better be aware and lock your doors! Puhuhuhu!
“Well! That’s it! Puhuuhuhu! Enjoy the rest of your day!!” Discord says in a happy voice randomly disappearing.
“
At some point discord gave everyone their dorm keys. “Because if I don’t see any murder by the next day, we are all going to die. Discord had told us. Those words stuck in my head, feeling hopeless. Despite being the “ultimate hope” what is that even supposed to mean? Is killing some sort of joke to this guy. Who cares, we might as well all die.
“Is anyone even going to follow along with this rule? Well if not then there’s no reason to be scared to sleep—right?” The ultimate hope thought to herself.
No, my friends wouldn’t do something as cruel as murder. That’s definitely not happening, but something keeps me thinking, what if someone her is working for the mastermind? Perhaps, chancellor? I don’t want to blame anyone yet but he doesn’t even remember his ultimate, and when I was talking to him, he said this thing that really poked suspicion to me.
“I don’t remember my ultimate, the mastermind seemed to give everyone else a ultimate, it’s like I’m different from the group, like I’m his “accomplice or something.”
“Accomplice or something.” The ultimate hope thought. Well, maybe I can just brush that off as a expression, because we didn’t even know discord was the mastermind then.
After laying hopelessly on her dorm bed the nighttime announcement finally came on.
“Mm, ahem, this is a school announcement. It is now 10 p.m. As such, it is officially nighttime. Soon the doors to the dining hall will be locked, and entry at that point is strictly prohibited. Okay then...sweet dreams, everyone! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...”
“Well, I guess I have to go to sleep now, I have no choice.”
—
Nighttime passed sooner than expected, and the morning announcement came on.
Good morning, everyone! It is now 7 a.m. and nighttime is officially over! Time to rise and shine! Get ready to greet another beee-yutiful day!
“Ugh, just the voice of discord makes me puke.” The ultimate justice thought.
Everyone was supposed to make it down to the dining hall by 7:15 a.m according to the paper on the wall in everyone’s dorm rooms.
Later everyone was in the dining hall except for fluttershy, maybe she was late or something, but it seems everyone is going to die.
“Well, I’m assuming no one killed.” The ultimate friendship said
“THIS IS THE ENDDDD!!!” The ultimate party planner said bursting out in tears.
“Wait, where is fluttershy?” The ultimate athlete brought up.
“I’ll go find her dorm.” The ultimate hope said.
As the ultimate justice found fluttershys dorm it was unlocked and when she opened the door she found something horrifying.
“Oh no.”
Fluttershy was laying there dead on the floor and she looked like she was beat up to death then strangled with a blanket tied to the bathroom door, she also had pillow fluff in her mouth restraining her from speaking.
“AHHHHHHHHHH” Starlight let out a big scream.
The other all ran upstairs worried something happened and they all saw fluttershys dead body before their eyes.
“W-what who would do something like this.” Rarity said on the verge of tears.
“I never thought anyone would actually go through with this dumb game..?” Sunburst also said
“Fluttershy was so kind a-and, she was the nicest one to me when we first met who would kill a kind pony like her!!” Spike said crying.
Soon, a announcement came on.
“Puhuhuhuhu, a body has been discovered! But I have to say, this murder was definitely aimed, I mean, my dear fluttershy being killed first, how horrible.”
“You smug bitch! You killed her didn’t you!” Applejack said angrily.
“Nmwah?” Discord said randomly coming up behind all of them.
“You.” Trixie said
“I just came here to say that you all have a hour to investigate before the famous class trial starts, there you will argue who you think the killer is. If you vote wrong everyone dies and the blackened lives, but if you vote correctly, everyone gets to live and the blackened dies.”
“Um, no I refuse to agree to your rules!” Princess Celestia said in her royal voice.
“Oh?”
Princess Celestia shoved Discord to the ground.
“You.. and STAY THERE.”
“VIOLENCE AGAINST HEADMASTER DISCORD IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND WILL RESULT IN A AUTOMATIC DEATH.”
“VioLenCe AgainSt hEaDmAsTer dIsCorD” my ass!
Then out of nowhere a knife comes flying straight at Celestias head killing her.
Everyone gasped.
Discord got off the floor and said “well, that’s taken care of, now! You all have a hour to investigate, Puhuhuhu, good luck! And see you at the class trial!!”
pre trial (investigation)
“Oh no! This is horrible! Celestia is gone! Who will rule equestria now?” Rainbow dash said worried
Luna rolled her eyes then spoke. “My dear sister, we may have fought but you were always my sister, sleep well.”
“As much as I hate to say this we have no time to mourn for our loved ones death.” Chancellor neighsay said.
Everypony gasped in shock of the pony’s words.
“Before you all get mad reminder this is a serious situation and we are being timed. We can’t just sit around and do nothing.”
“How cruel!” Rarity said.
“Believe it or not neighsay is right.” Maud said.
“You too?” Pinkie pie said.
“In order to actually survive this we have to figure out which one of you is the blackened, so I suggest we split up and investigate the crime scene.”
“Wise choice, I’ll split everypony up.” Neighsay said.
Twilight, you’re with Starlight.
Applejack, you’re with Rairty.
Sunset, you’re with Trixie.
Luna, you’re with pinkie pie.
Rainbow dash, you’re with spike.
Cadence, you’re with sunburst.
Finally maud, you’re with me let’s go.
-
“It seems the victim was beat up to death then strangled on top of that.” Twilight says investigating the body
“But what I don’t understand is why Fluttershy would leave her door unlocked?” Starlight questioned.
“I remember when I was talking to her before you got here she mentioned something about going to dinner with some pony, but that was before the whole killing thing, I didn’t ask who that pony was and just brushed it off, maybe instead of having dinner with that pony, she did something else with them instead that involved them coming to her dorm, then killing her, although, the killer probably wasn’t even planning on killing Fluttershy, it seems pretty rushed like it just came to mind, I mean beat up to death? That’s a pretty weird way to kill someone then strangle them with a blanket and stuff pillow fluff in their mouth? That sure is something- and here I am rambling again—.” The lavender Alicorn said.
“Wait, that’s a good theory, but there’s no way of knowing who that person is.”
“If only I had asked her, we could’ve had this!” The lavender alicorn said putting her hooves to her face.
“Don’t blame yourself Twilight, none of us knew we would be dragged to a killing game. Starlight had told her putting a arm on her shoulder.
“W-well yeah, that is true, let’s get back to investigating.”
Cadence and sunburst were investigating the bed, the whole set was messed up and half of it was torn to pieces, they took a peek inside the pillow case and found a love letter that reads:
“Deer fluttershy, I have always had a cruush on you from the very begin ing , it’s normaly seen as embaresing from a athlete like mi but, this is a confesin . I don’t know what else to put in this letter, but yeah I hope u except my feelwings.
“Wow that spelling is definitely something.” Sunburst said in shock of how bad it is.
“Aww a love letter, how cute.” Cadence said reminiscing from the times she sent love letters to ponies.
“This isn’t the time! This might be a very important piece of evidence.”
“You are right..”
-
Sunset, Trixie, Maud, and Neighsay had decided they wanted to team up searching the bathroom for clues.
Trixie picked up a opened bottle of “mint relaxation shampoo.” “Oh, it seems she must have been taking a shower before the devastating event.
As Sunset was investigating the toilet she stumbled across a few vitamins she found on the ground.
The orange pony licked one of the vitamins.
Chancellor Neighsay turned around just in time to see it.
“You incompetent fool! Why would you do that??” Chancellor said.
“To make sure they were vitamins.”
Trixie jumped in the conversation and added on, “but what if they weren’t vitamins! Plus that’s unsanitary.
“Sorry, I know I should’ve not had licked it.”
“Who would need vitamins at this time anyway?” Trixie asked.
“Perhaps, someone that needs energy.” Maud said.
The three all did a gasp.
-
“I still don’t get why are investigating the door, I mean what does the door have to do with any of this?” Princess Luna said confused.
“You know why silly! That’s where Fluttershy was killied! A few inches behind the door, where Twilight and Starlight are investigating.
“Then shouldn’t we be looking *behind* the door?”
“Nooo”
“Wha-“
“I have a hunch.. something tells me that the killer didn’t *immediately* kill Fluttershy after coming to her dorm.”
“What tells you that?”
“Nothing, just a hunch!”
-
Rainbow dash, Applejack, Spike, and Rarity also teamed up, but at that point all they did was argue over what happened and got no investigating done. Then, before everypony knew, the trial announcement comes on.
“Puhuhuhu, times up! It’s time for the famous class trial!! The trial room is on on the 13th floor of this building!! I know, creepy right? But since I know you all are lazy make your way to the elevator on the 2F and go the the room “TR” on the 13th floor once you get there. Puhuhuhu! See you at trialllll!
“I really don’t want to participate in this, but for fluttershy sake.” Rarity says.
Everypony made it to the elevator and once they got to the 13th floor they went straight to the trial room. As Starlight opened the Trial Room doors everyone gasped at how big it was and how it looked like a real court room.
..
“Let’s do this.” The ultimate hope said.
Everyone gasped.
“Puhuhuhu! You all are here!! Honestly I didn’t expect half of you to show up, but besides that, go ahead and make your way over to the podium with your name on it so we start the first class trial!!” Discord said happily.
-
“Now then, let's begin with a simple explanation of the Class Trial! During the Class Trial, you will present your arguments for who the killer is, and vote for whodunnit! If you vote correctly, only the Blackened will receive punishment! But if you pick the wrong person...I'll punish everyone besides the Blackened, and that person will earn the right to leave this place!” Discord explained.
“I can’t believe this is happening.” Starlight thought to herself.
“Puhuhuhu! Let the class trial.. BEGIN!”
“Well I’ll start this trial off by stating I have a clear alibi, how so you may ask? Easy. I’m to good too be wasting my time on killing you little ponies, I’ll wait till it’s down to just one other person I don’t care.” Chancellor Neighsay said.
“Yeah, we can believe that.” Applejack said while rolling her eyes.
“Me and sunburst found a love letter, we do not know who it is from but it might be a important piece of evidence. Princess cadence said.
“Would you mind showing everyone?” Luna asked.
“yes your majesty.” Sunburst said.
Sunburst read to everyone struggling to because of the bad spelling.
“Cool.. but what does this have to do with the case?” Spike asked.
“To be completely honest we don’t know.” Princess Cadence said.
“Maybe that love letter and what me and Twilight theorized are connected!” The ultimate hope said.
“What did you two theorize?” Maud asked.
“When I was talking to fluttershy she mentioned having dinner with somepony, but instead of having the dinner, they may have did something else that requires going to the dorm!” Twilight said.
“What do you mean by “requires going to the dorm”.. Princess Luna asked.
“Interesting..” Rarity said.
“She didn’t mean it like *that* guys!” Starlight reassured.
Twilight rolled her eyes.
Rarity, Trixie, and Luna all slammed a hoof to their face.
“That’s not any better.” Rainbow dash said.
Pinkie pie did a sigh “Twilight you really need to work on your wording.”
“It’s not my fault you have dirty minds!”
“Guys we are getting off track, I have some clues too, I found some vitamins spilled on the floor in the bathroom.” Sunset said.
“I also found a open bottle of shampoo so that says that she was getting ready for someone to come!” Trixie added on.
“People can’t just wash their hair from time to time? Also what does vitamins have to do with any of this?” Spike asked.
“Wait.. sunburst can I see that note again?” Starlight asked.
“Sure here it is!”
“it’s normaly seen as embaresing from a athlete like mi”
“From a athlete like me..” Starlight repeated.
“Hey Rainbow aren’t you the ultimate athlete?” Twilight questioned
“Y-yes” Rainbow dash replied and blushed.
“Could.. rainbow dash possibly be the person that fluttershy met up with?” Starlight asked
Everyone gasped.
“When you think about it, it actually makes a lot of since because she’s the ultimate athlete, wrote a love letter, and who else would be caring vitamins with them? Twilight said.
Everyone glared at Rainbow.
“a-anyone can use vitamins heheh, am I right?”
“Rainbow..” Applejack said.
“Plus, if we look back at fluttershys death injuries, she was beat up the death then strangled, who else would have the strength here to do that?” Starlight said sternly.
“Y-your not making a lick of sense! It’s just a coincidence!” Rainbow dash said defending for herself.
“But then it’s one coincidence after another, and that makes us think you are suspicious.” Maud said.
“Let’s not blame anyone yet, let’s tie all the evidence we have so far up.”
-
“So far what happened is that pre-game the killer made a love letter to Fluttershy and probably wasn’t planning to kill her, and their original plans were to have a nice dinner together but instead they had a dorm date. The shampoo Trixie found is proof of that, fluttershy was clearly getting ready for someone the come over, and that means, whoever came over that night.. is the killer. Those vitamins must have been something that just slipped out of the killers pocket, so we should just brush that off, this kill was also last minute and not planned, we know because the killers method of murder was very.. rushed. Here Some clues of the killer we found:
The love letter
The vitamins
Strong—
Then as Twilight was about to finished talking, it came to her. There’s only one person this killer can be. She thought.
“Everypony, I know who the killer is.”
Everypony gasped.
“It’s you ultimate athlete. Isn’t it.”
-
“Wha-what!! That’s crazy talk! I would never kill fluttershy!!
“Oh! Looks like she’s not the killer then.” Pinkie pie said.
“You seriously believe her that easily? Where were you when we were just going over all that evidence!?” Rarity asked.
“Yeah listen to pinkie it’s not me! This is bullcrap! Hell hell hell hell hell to the no! I don’t think so! Going through with this is basically suicide!”
“There’s no other pony. Princess Luna said.
“Why Rainbow dash? To get out of here? You killed a friend for your own selfish wishes, I can’t look at you.” Spike said in a depressing empty tone.
“…just cast the damn votes already, I killed fluttershy.”
“So you admit to it.” Twilight says in a empty shattered tone.
“I never expected this out of somepony like you “element of loyalty” oh haha a bunch of b.s. Chancellor neighsay said.
“Applejack ran up to discord and pointed at him sternly.
“YOU THIS IS YOU’RE FAULT. ITS YOU’RE FAULT FLUTTERSHY IS DEAD AND RAINBOW IS GOING TO BE.”
“Ugh the despair of loosing a loved one I can’t imagine what it’s like” Discord said in a sarcastic tone.
everyone went quiet for a minute crying and feeling hopeless.
“Well, this is getting depressing, puhuhuhu! Everyone cast your votes!”
everyone voted for Rainbow dash.
“Puhuhuhu! You guys were correct! Rainbow dash is indeed the blackened and responsible for Fluttershys murder!!”
“Let’s stop wasting time, just execute me already.” The blackened said in a empty tone.
“As you wish!”
“Wait, no!! Please give Rainbow dash another chance! Please!” Applejack begged.
“LETS GIVE IT EVERYTHING WE’VE GOT!! IT’SSSSSS PUNISHMENT TIIMEEEE!!” Discord said happily.
Rainbow dash was flying with the wonderbolts in a show, until everything just stopped. The wonder bolts stopped flying and dropped to the ground. The cheering audience suddenly turned into “booooo” But rainbow dash was still going, everything seemed fine a first but rainbow dash knew it wouldn’t be fine for long since this was a execution, Rainbow dash started flying uncontrollably until she saw a big tree coming up. As much as she tried and tried to control her wings, it was no use until she was just nearly a inch away from the tree, flying very fast at this point, she took her final breath. Then crashed in the tree. Killing her.
“Puhuhuhuhuhu! That execution was soooo amazeballs!” Discord says jumped up and down in the air.
The remaining students that were watching the execution were traumatized. Using a rainbows dream against her like that is.. dark. For her death too.
-
Later that night that painting on the wall that said “sixteen ponies remaining” now said 13. With Fluttershy, Celestia, and Rainbow dash marked off of it.
As Trixie walked down that hallway again she spoke.
“Now I know what that picture was for, wow.”
Chapter 1# End.
Author's Note
I tried to make the execution as realistic as I think it would fit Rainbow Dash, I hope I found some Danganronpa fans, chapter 2 soon :))
