I got far too attached to Mondatta and Shona and wasn't able to act like a regular spotless. It would be impossible for me to continue participating in this game fairly.” The ground around Davis immediately shot up some spikes, not unlike the ones that appeared during the first night of carnage. Davis appeared to be in a cage, surrounded by the other infinites. “So there's actually a part of that story I left out, the one about my fiance.” Davis started to pace around his cage. “We actually only went back to New York because I bragged it up and we agreed it would be a good place to get married and go on a honeymoon. We had met and fell in love right at Hope's Peak.” Davis looked back at Noel. He didn't smile. “Oh yes, I attended Hope's Peak. I wasn't always the Infinite Conquest. Back in those days I was... The Ultimate Mastermind.” Davis looked at Lucas and showed him a screen on his E-handbook. It was the camera footage for the entire murderer. A green and black video revealing everything. “I had it figured out pretty quickly. I had done an inventory of everything at the mono shoppe, and the file disappeared the last time you visited it. Hiding it in with your ghost searching equipment was a nice touch, but it didn't fool me. Still, it's always nice to have the option to check your answers.” “What is this!?” Monokuma roared. “Spoiler alert! You're suppose to keep the mastermind's identity a secret until the final act!” Davis sighed. “I figured this way they could assign a face to their common enemy.” Davis looked at the bear out of the corner of his eye. “It's not like they know who you are yet, or my intentions. In the grand scheme of things, knowing who holds them offers little comfort.” “Alright, I guess those are fair points.” Monokuma giggled. Bliss cleared her throat. “So, why did you reveal yourself? Won't that cause problems for you should one of us escapes?” “If one of you escapes, it will be through playing the infinite killing game.” Davis shoved his hands into his pockets. “I'm sure you all remember the documentation I presented on that strange machine, right? It was all in Japanese though. A shame Rika didn't stick around long enough to translate it. You'd know that it was a prototype memory suppression machine. While that one is just a prototype, I have the complete version Junko used to memory wipe the students of Hope's Peak. Anyone who escapes will forget this nightmare ever started. You will wake up without remembering the carnage sisters, the fact that you killed someone, any of it. You will be able to continue your life with a clean conscience, free from the terrors that you faced here.” Bliss was trembling. “What do you hope to accomplish? Isn't this a little twisted, creating a game like the one that killed so many people? And you're, responsible for-” “Stop talking.” A booth lowered itself from the ceiling and landed beside Davis. “The only thing you need to know is that this killing game isn't the same thing as the ones presented by Ultimate Despair. Regardless of what that bear says, your despair is not the goal of this killing game.” “W-what!?” Monokuma interjected. “That's not what you told me!” Davis stepped into the booth. “Know that I want you to continue winning. But I will not be able to help you going forward. Consider this case a tutorial if you would, just one to get everyone acclimated to what happens around here.” “Guys, I'm serious.” Monokuma looked scared. “I have no idea what this guy is talking about. I feel a little cheated actually.” “I'll take my leave now. Dr. Killgood, I leave the rest to you.” Davis was pulled into the ceiling. “My life is a lie...” Monokuma sighed. “Well, even if despair isn't the goal, that doesn't mean I can't relish in it, right?” he giggled. “Alright girls, get everyone back into their seats... Except Lucas.” The bear let out a wicked laugh.“Alright kids, you know what time it is?” Monokuma reached for a hammer and lifted it over his head. “It's punishment tiiiiiiiiime!” As soon as the bear dropped his hammer on a big red button, a shackle closed around Lucas's neck. It was attached to a chain that was welded to the back of Alexandria's horse. “You're not quite Calvin, but I'm going to ride into the sunset with you anyway!” After everyone else was put back into their seats, the other carnage sisters snapped their own shackle's around the paranormal investigator's neck. Then they rode off into the shadows, dragging the accused with them. By this point, the roller coaster was moving again. It was going to take everyone to the site of the execution...
