Monokuma tapped his foot while looking at a wrist watch. The tension was building. It seemed to already be too much for Caora, who had started crying before the results were announced. Dr killgood looked up from his watch and raised an eyebrow. “I... I didn't even do anything yet.” A few more seconds ticked by before the bear wiped its paw across its head. “Phew! I don't know about you, but that was the longest thirty seconds of my life! We'll have the results up in just a few seconds.”
Shona looked up from her E-handbook. “No.”
“No?” The bear tipped its head. “That's not a very informative statement. No we won't display the results? No I actually did do something? No it wasn't the longest thirty seconds of my life?”
Meanwhile, everyone turned to the sound of someone running down the hall. There approaching the wall of spikes was Felix. “Hey guys!” he greeted with his usual, overly cheery personality. But he didn't stand still. Felix immediately took to the spikes and ran up them like a ninja. When he started to lose momentum, Felix reached out and grabbed a hold of the massive nails before him. Even without any climbing equipment, he was able to climb the slick surfaces with relative ease. Such an inhuman feet of athletics would have been impossible for anyone but the infinite free-runner. In seconds Felix was already at the top of the spikes.
Nariko looked up. “I-Is that an honest to goodness practical use for parkour?”
Geina chuckled. “I dunno, but he's interfering with our game, which is interfering with us by extension.” She lifted one of her arms to aim at the free runner. But the doll would never get the chance to fire. In the blink of an eye, her bicep erupted into a mess of hydraulic fluid, and the rest of her arm fell on the ground. In that short span of time, the infinite knight managed to close the distance and attack her. Geina barely had time to acknowledge what had happened before Shona's second swing cleaved into the doll's chest. A splash of fluid soaked the side of Calvin's face as Geina lost the ability to stand. “Mother fuckEEERRRrrrrrrrrrzzzzz-” The infinite knight wrenched her sword out of the manikin and let it collapse into a pool of its own hydraulic fluid.
“...Oh my creator!” Monokuma was quick to erect more spikes, this time making cells for the cooperating infinites. He had walled off most of them, but he also wanted to trap the free runner. Felix's agility was proving difficult to contend with. “Don't get any funny ideas!” the bear growled. But the free runner didn't stop advancing towards Calvin, always able to anticipate where the next spikes would show up.
Meanwhile, Nariko prepared to avenge her sister. She gently folded Aleecia's hand over the E-handbook before stepping forward and drawing her sword. “Tennōheika Banzai... Kamakazi!” With her katana over her head, she charged the knight. Shona only needed to back-step and allow a cannonball to blow the samurai's body apart.
“Sister!” Willow shrieked. “She may not have been a princess, but she was still part of our royal family.” The queenly doll lowered her lance and prepared to charge. The knight made a mad dash for the hospital while the doll on horseback pursued.
Dr. Killgood finally had all of the other infinites walled off except for Calvin and Felix. The free runner was still proving to be quite difficult. “I'll tell you why his first and last names are that of cats...” The bear grumbled. “Because he's as agile as two kittens!”
Felix dove on top of Calvin and his chair, knocking them over. “You'll break the rules if you try to attack me through Calvin.” he said to the deranged bear before unwraping Calvin's restraints.
“True.” Monokuma nodded. “It certainly wouldn't be very nice if I hurt Calvin when you're the one screwing everything up.” A spike came out of the ground at an angle and stabbed through Felix's shoulder. “Thankfully, I can angle these puppies a little bit and go in from the side.” when the spike retracted, Felix groaned in pain and sunk down on top of Calvin. “Only being able to go straight up and down would have been a pretty big flaw.” The bear sighed. “You adult types are a handful. This would have been a lot easier if I stuck with my rule of keeping with highschoolers! Anyway, I'll finish up with you later, Willow is going to screw this up somehow.” Dr. Killgood turned around just in time to see Shona ram Willow's lance into her horse. It let out a whinny before falling onto willow, who had been dethroned from her horse. Willow's death cry was muffled by the sound of her horse spewing hydraulic fluid everywhere. “Okay, scratch that. She ALREADY screwed up! Damn I wish I had the camera feed. I'll need to look through the archives later.”
Shona's armor, face, and blade were aptly smeared with the carnage sister's “blood.” The infinite knight was clearly living up to her name, dispatching three carnage sisters in the span of seconds. “Come fight me, bear.” she swung her sword, splattering the wall with hydraulic fluid.
“Uh-uhu!” Monokuma shook his head. “You come at me, bro!”
“Your spike traps are only in the intersection.” Shona tapped her foot on the ground. “I noticed the markings in the floor after you used them the first time.” Shona dragged Willow's cannon across the floor and aimed it at Monokuma.
The bear froze in place. “Well, it's not like you have anything to fire at me with.” Shona wrenched Willow's head off of her dismantled body. After briefly gazing into the robot's lifeless eyes, she stuffed it down the cannon's muzzle. “Okay, okay.” Monokuma waved his hands. “I'm not going to lie, this is starting to scare me a little bit. But um, what say we stop playing around with the cannon and address the real problem.”
“You are the real problem.”
“No, behind you.”
Shona turned around just in time to see something charging out of the hospital. Its silhouette looked like a carnage sister on horseback, but that changed as its body was cast in light. There was no rider. Or rather the rider and horse were one. Its body was pure white with black vein-like seams running all over its chassis. Instead of hair, it had two giant horns that obscured the sides of it's face. It didn't have a mouth or a nose, but massive black eyes with red irises rested in its scull. It carried a spear under its arm, and it was headed straight for Shona. The knight didn't have much time to react. She lifted her sword up to deflect the spear, but the creature's weapon didn't budge and inch. It drove the spear through her chest, and continued running until it slammed into the wall, pinning her in place. The infinite knight was suspended above the floor. She coughed up some blood, but her new opponent stood there, unmoving. Shona's body was trembling as she bled out, her body growing colder with each passing second. Despite the pain in her chest, the knight was able to smile. A stream of blood ran out of the corner of her mouth.“At least I die... a true knight.” The centaur yanked the spear out of the wall and let Shona's body slump to the ground. She had passed on with a smile on her face. The spike cages around everyone started to lower. Davis simply stared at the fallen knight, shocked and totally wide-eyed. Mason had a like expression, and Quill hugged the barista for comfort.
“W-what just happened?!” Davis's voice cracked.
Monokuma approached the centaur. “I'm sorry, I know you'd like to think the carnage sisters are 'real,' but they are all controlled wirelessly. During the night of carnage, one lucky gal is allowed to take out her special carnage class model for a spin. Infinites, meet Alexandria, Alexandria, infinites.” The bear coughed. “Now as exiting as this all is, we do have a vote to get to. So without further ado, the results!” The screen went from a live feed to displaying the results of the voting.

“WHAT?” Davis pointed. “Why didn't more people vote for me? I-I brought this down on everyone! We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me!”
“Please relax Davis.” Mason was the one who spoke now.
Perfection turned to look at mason.“Bastard! I don't think you understand-”
“Quill told me everything. I respect what you did.”
Davis just groaned.
“So anyway.” Monokuma managed to grab everyone's attention. “It looks like I need to make a selection, and I choose...” His claw moved over to Calvin. “I choose...” His claw then moved onto Davis. “I chose...” His claw finally settled on Mondatta. “...You know, what's the point?” Dr. Killgood folded his arms. “I can't kill any of you with the temp rule in place anyway. A shame my little game wasn't worked into the regulations, then I could have taken advantage of it. But because it's not, I'll just have to let the rest of you live.” The bear sighed.
The centaur rolled Felix off of Calvin and set his chair back up. With two swings of it's spear, Calvin was cut free.
“So that was it...” Davis growled like a lion. “The whole point of this was to kill Shona wasn't it?”
“Ding ding ding, BINGO!” Monokuma jumped. “I knew she couldn't resist the chance to jump in and save her friends. It's practically her dream to go out like that. You could almost say she was born to die.” Dr. Killgood's face tensed up with fear. “But holy cow is she scary with a sword! You might have actually stood a chance with her on your side. Things are stacked in my favor again.”
The three carnage sisters returned on horseback, their old bodies still laying in shambles. It would appear they had backups. Nariko held Kara in her arms, who was clutching her chest with her hands.
“S-she's having a heart attack!” The samurai whimpered.
“Hmph. Guess our show was too intense for some audiences.” Monokuma made a sound similar to one clicking their tongue. “You know what to do. Get her to medical.” With a nod, Nariko rode towards the medical ward and disappeared behind a veil of smoke. “You too Alexandria! You might as well Felix to get checked out.” The centaur only nodded in response before scooping up the free runner and taking off after her sister. A few seconds later, ANOTHER back up of Nariko returned, along with a regular looking Alexandria.
Mason's hands balled into fists. “So you killed one of us, so what? You think you can scare us into killing each other by murdering us?”
“No, sweet prince.” Dr. Killgood chirped. “I think I can scare you into killing each other by replacing you!” There was a moment of silence as everyone tried to figure out exactly what that statement was implying. “Oh, really?” Monokuma looked shocked. “With all the killing games that failed in the past, you think that we would overlook something like a finite number of contestants?” he started to growl again. “Do you think this is some video game? With a finite number of puzzles to solve? With a finite number of enemies to vanquish? With a finite number of ways to experience despair?” More silence. Monokuma turned to Rika, who quietly arrived. “Oh, perfect timing. You, Quill and Mason are needed elsewhere.” A set of elevator doors opened up. “We're rotating you out now.”
Quill gripped Mason's arm tighter. “R-rotating?”
“Just fuckin' go already!” Geina's gun clicked when she aimed the chaingun at Quill. “Ain't like you've got a choice anyway!”
As the carnage sister commanded, the three infinites went into the elevator. As soon as they turned around to look at the remaining infinites, the doors slammed shut. Everyone could hear the elevator hum as it was pulled away.
“Now...” Monokuma folded his arms behind his back. “How about we have a nice little welcome party for our newest recruit, Bliss Buckly!”
The doors to the elevator opened up again, revealing a woman dressed in a red gown and a broad hat decorated with flowers. She looked surprised when she saw Shona's lifeless body, but not as surprised as someone who never saw a body. “Oh gosh!” She lifted a gloved hand to her mouth. “Was someone murdered in here to!?” She quickly opened up her E-handbook. “The rules, they changed!”
“Okay, first off, this is 'this' game's first night of carnage.” Monokuma shrugged. “We don't reveal 'those' rules until after the first legitimate murderer. But since you've already seen them, I guess I might as well show everyone. Don't want anyone to think I've got a soft spot for the infinite nanny.”

Davis eyed monokuma. “Other killing game?”
“Yes, this isn't the only one going on. Axis Mundi is practically a sky scraper after all. You have all kinds of room. Some would even say an infinite amount of room!” Dr. Killgood tipped his head. “An infinite amount of space, for an infinite number of infinites, and an infinite amount of despair and carnage.” All of a sudden, the other elevators started to hum with life. They were going to get even more guests very shortly. “Welcome, to the infinite killing game!”
