“Why aren’t you leaving?” Ammon asked me.

“I was just waiting for everyone else to leave.” I explained, starting to stand up,”You really don’t have to guard me you kn-” I said as I tripped over my chair and fell over, taking the chair with me. I landed on it, hard. One of the chair legs splintered off and jabbed my arm.

“This is going to be more difficult than you think.” I muttered.

Ammon studied me and shrugged,”I’m an Ultimate. I should be able to guard you.”

“And you’re doing a great job so far.” I said, pushing myself up. Ammon went in front of me and cleared a path to ensure I didn’t trip or knock anything over. The group was standing outside still, waiting for us.

I glanced over at my arm and noticed that the chair leg had left a smaller piece of wood in my arm. Preparing myself for pain, I yanked it out and tossed it to the floor.

“The campfire is this way!” Monokuma said, pointing one way. He looked over at Aristotle and pointed in the opposite direction,”And there’s a ramp over that way! I’ll see you guys at the first trial! Phuhuhuhuhu!”

Without any hesitation, Kikimora began to wheel her brother towards the ramp. The others shrugged and started to walk the opposite way. Ammon and I stayed near the back of the group. As we got closer to the campfire, a putrid smell filled the air.

“Ew, what’s that smell?” Quincy asked, sounding disgusted as she looked around.

“PERHAPS YOU SHOULD DIRECT YOUR EYES TO THE DECAYING SQUIRREL IN THE FIRE?!” Panna observed, pointing at the squirrel I had accidentally knocked out of a tree.

“Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck.” Kowai muttered.

Ammon glanced over at me, but I looked away. “Poor squirrel.” I mumbled.

Kikimora and Aristotle arrived a little after us, as the ramp is a longer route. “Bleh, who died?” Kikimora asked, noticing the smell.

“A squirrel did.” Ivy explained, stepping away from the fire pit. She was covering her nose and mouth, which made sense. There was a literal squirrel burning alive.

“Now, now. There are two solutions to this conundrum of ours!” Itami grinned, patting his briefcase. “I know the most excellent air freshener business OR I could get us a metal fire cover! Prevents burns and wildlife death! It also stops potential wildfires and-”

“Shut up. Now.” Hera glared at him.

Itami lowered his briefcase with a disappointed look on his face.

Now that everyone was here, the ground began to rumble and the dirt beneath the fire pit began to rise up.

“IT’S THE END!” Kowai screeched.

“It’s probably just an earthquake!” Ronan said, trying to calm Kowai down.

“Actually, this area isn’t prone to earthquakes!” Marble started to explain,”The tectonic plates-”

“If it isn’t prone, then why is everything shaking?!” Koe exclaimed.

“MARBLE IS ALWAYS RIGHT! DO NOT QUESTION HER!” Panna said to Koe, who immediately looked away.

And then the shaking stopped. Underneath the firepit, a large elevator awaited them.

“It’s a trick! A trap!” Kowai was now shaking from fear, convinced something horrible was about to happen.

“I call shotgun!” Blake said, running right into the elevator.

Once Blake had run in and jumped around for a few seconds, we determined that the elevator was safe to get inside. But I hate elevators, always have. Something always goes wrong in elevators with me. With stairs, I can trip down a flight or two and be fine. With elevators, I can accidentally cause a malfunction and trap a group of people for hours on end.

But I knew I had to, so I walked in nervously, being sure to stay right in the middle. I didn’t move a muscle, as I was scared something would happen. Ammon stood right by me, watching me witha a neutral expression. Once everyone was inside, the elevator dropped.
