A/N: To those who follow my other stories, long time no see. I can't really apologize enough for not updating, but work...and school...and Danganronpa...my god Danganronpa. It sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. And now, this story is a thing. I was originally gonna post this as a challenge, but the more I thought about it, the more I fell in love with the idea and wanted to do this myself.

However, to new readers, welcome to this story of mine. Looking through DR fanfiction, there are a lot of SYOCs. And I mean A LOT. Each interesting in it's own right, but I kinda wanna see other series be put into a DR scenario. And this was the first one to come to mind for me. And I feel these have some stuff in common. Let's compare, both have there main characters in high school(for the most part). And I personally think many characters are similar, Naegi and Izuku, Kiyotaka and Tenya, and while not really similar, but somewhat funny, both have a character who's family name is Hagakure. I'm not too sure how often I'll update this, but let's hope I can keep this interesting at least. Now then, enjoy this new fic of mine.

Prologue: Welcome to the Academy of Heroes

My name is Izuku Midoriya, and I was a normal person. But in a world like this, where eighty percent of the world has superpowers, known as Quirks, normal became abnormal and abnormal became normal. For most of my life, I was without any superpower, I was Quirkless. But when I met my hero, the Symbol of Peace, All Might, my entire world changed. Even though he discouraged me at first, after putting my life on the line for a friend, he deemed me worthy to inherent his Quirk, One for All. So, after training for several months, the eating one of his hairs, I was ready to take the entrance exam for the number one hero school in the country, U.A. I had a rough start, I didn't even score a single point form destroying any robots. But due to putting my own life on the line to save someone else, a girl with short brown hair, I was able to score enough Rescue Points to pass. So here I am, the first day of class, about to take the first step into the rest of my life. Into what I can only assume would be some of the best years I'd ever have. But right when I took my first step into the building, that's when it all came crashing down. It felt like the floor gave out under me, like I was falling into an endless abyss. And then, everything just went black. I thought this was going to be some of the best years of my life. But, I actually had no idea what I was getting myself into.

-Location Unknown-

My eyes slowly open, and I notice that I'm slouched over something. Slowly picking myself up, I notice that I had fallen asleep across a desk. Looking around, it's easy to see I'm in a classroom. But…there are so many things wrong and out of place here. Why are the windows boarded up with iron plates and giant screws? What's with the camera hanging from the ceiling? My sight soon lands back on the desk I woke up at. There's a pamphlet on top of it, I suppose I must have over looked it when I first woke up. I go over to it, and begin to read it, but I'm surprised by the drawings on it. They look like a little kid drew them. Reading through the pamphlet, it said:

"Welcome to the new school year! Starting today, this school will be your entire world!"

I couldn't help but read through it a couple more times. Our entire world? I get that U.A. is supposed to an important stepping stone into our hero careers, but to claim it's going to be our entire world? Something just doesn't seem right about this. I put the pamphlet back down onto the desk, and I made my way out of the classroom. I figured I may as well explore a bit before heading to the entrance ceremony. Waking through the halls, I came across a few rooms, one of which had a giant red door to it. I don't know why, but I felt I should avoid it. I passed by an A/V room as well as a school store, I should look into those the next chance I get. But across from the store was the door way to the entrance hall. I thought I heard some talking and I went to investigate it. The sight I came upon next was unbelievable.

Nineteen other students of U.A. stood in the entrance hall, every single one of us, myself included, were dressed in the standard U.A. uniform, a white undershirt underneath a grey blazer with green highlights, a red tie, green long pants for boys and a green skirt for girls. I couldn't help but stare a bit, I was just too surprised to see all these people gathered here.

"You there! Orientation starts at 8 AM on the dot, what has caused you to be late!?" yelled a boy with dark blue hair wearing glasses.

"Will you calm down?" asked a girl with some odd looking earlobes. "If his situation is anything like the rest of us, he probably just woke up somewhere." The girl then looked over at me as she asked. "Am I wrong?"

"N…No, you're right," I reply nervously. "I actually just woke in one of the classrooms. Does…anyone know what's going on?"

"We're just as lost as you man," the response came from a boy wild, spikey red hair. "Every single one of us woke up somewhere, wondered a bit, then made our way here."

Before anyone else could say anything, someone shouted, and it was something I unfortunately have heard many times before.

"Deku!" came the scream as a boy in a disheveled uniform, with wild light blond hair said as he marched up to me.

"K-Kacchan!?" I shouted in surprise. This is Katsuki Bakugou, as we used to go to the same middle school. I'd say we're childhood friends, but if I'm being honest, I'd have to say he's more of a bully.

"What the hell are you doing here Deku!?" Katsuki asked as he grabbed the front of my uniform.

"I-I-I'm just here because I passed the entrance exams! J-J-Just like everyone else here!" I screamed in fear.

"Hey! Leave the poor guy alone!" came another shout. Looking over, it was a girl with short brown hair. Actually, that's the girl I saved during the exam if I remember right.

"I agree, there is no need to put undue stress on any of us," came the calm reply of a boy with a rather large tail. With a huff, Katsuki let go of me, before trudging off back to the front of the room. And now that I get a good look at it, there seems to be a reinforced iron door in the entry way, along with…are those ceiling mounted machine guns?

"Hey, how about we all introduce ourselves?" said a boy with blonde hair with a black lightning bolt-like streak. "We don't really have anything else to do, and since we're all going to U.A., we'll be seeing each other a bunch. I'll go first. I'm Denki Kaminari."

With a smile on her face, the brown haired girl introduced herself, "My name is Ochako Uraraka. I really hope we can all get along."

"I am Tenya Iida, let's all have an enriching year!" the boy in glasses shouted, bowing as he did his introduction.

"Kyouka Jirou," said the girl with the odd earlobes, it didn't seem like she had much else to say.

"Hey guys!" said a girl with pink skin. "I'm Mina Ashido, we should all go hang out sometime."

"The name's Eijirou Kirishima," said the boy with spikey red hair. "Let's all become great heroes together."

"Hanta Cero's the name," said a boy who looked to have a constant grin on his face.

"I'm Minoru Mineta," said a short boy with hair that kinda looked like grapes. He looked around at everyone else before saying, "It's good to see there's a bunch of cute girls in this class."

"My name's Rikidou Satou," said a large student with spikey brown hair.

"Hey hey! My name's Tooru Hagakure!" while no one really saw the speaker, the lines came from the floating pair of clothes. Must be an invisibility Quirk.

"Mezou Shouji, I sincerely hope we can all get along during our time here," said the tallest one amongst us. He actually had what looked like extra pairs of arms and hands, but I don't really see any fingers on the ends.

"My name is Momo Yaoyorozu," said the girl with her black hair done up in a ponytail.

"M-My name is Kouji Kouda…" said a boy with an oddly shaped head.

"I'm Mashirao Ojiro," said the boy with the tail.

"My name is Tsuyu Asui," said a girl with long dark green hair.

"Fumikage Tokoyami," said the boy whose head looked like a bird. I wonder if his Quirk involves that somehow.

"Shouto Todoroki," said another boy who had half red and half white hair. Another thing that stuck out about him was the large burn scar over his left eye.

"My name is Yuuga Aoyama!" said another boy with blond hair as he struck a pose. It…actually almost looked like he was sparkling.

"You're name's Deku right?" Hanta said after everyone else introduced themselves. "Geez…it's gotta suck having a name like that."

"A…Actually, my name is Izuku, Izuku Midoriya," I introduced myself. I really hope no one else thought Deku was my name.

After a brief moment of silence, everyone looked over to Katsuki, expecting him to introduce himself.

"…The name's Katsuki Bakugou," Katsuki introduced himself. "And let me just say this once. All of you, every single one, are beneath me. And don't even try to prove me wrong, cause I'll just wipe the floor with you."

"Oh, is that a challenge?" Eijirou asked, punching his right hand into his left palm.

"You wanna go right now?" Katsuki asked, raising his right hand, small explosions happening atop it.

"Both of you! Cease these actions at once!" Tenya shouted at them.

But it was at that moment that we heard the television monitor in the room turn on. We all turned to it, but the image was nearly impossible to make out. All we could see was static in the background, and the silhouette of someone. But the voice that came through, it sounded so carefree…and yet it also felt like it held some sort of hidden danger to it as well.

"Hello…Hello? Is this thing on?" the silhouette asked. "Mic check, mic check, one two…one two…Anyways, will everyone please head over to the gymnasium, the entrance ceremony is about to begin, and you certainly don't wanna be late for that!" After finishing what it had to say, the monitor turned off.

"I suppose we should head over to the gymnasium then," Momo said as she began to walk off, many of the other following her.

I looked back over to who was still here. The only ones left, were Katsuki and I.

"Kacchan…maybe we should follow them," I suggested, hoping he would listen.

"And why should I? I doubt we'll be missing anything important," Katsuki said as he continued to stare down the iron door.

The monitor turned on again as the voice said, "I should probably mention, anyone who doesn't show up to the entrance ceremony, will be severely punished. So make sure you get there in an orderly fashion!" The monitor quickly turned off after the silhouette said its piece. Reluctantly, Katsuki started to walk off towards where the gym was, and I followed after him. We didn't talk at all during the walk. I guess no matter how hard he tries to hide it, Kacchan must be just as nervous as the rest of us.

We arrived to the gymnasium to see everyone there, looking around curiously. The gym did indeed look like it was decorated for an entrance ceremony. The stage was set for the headmaster to give his speech, and there were chairs set up for each of us. But…it's kinda weird, why is there only enough chairs for our class, shouldn't there be even more freshmen coming into U.A. also, like the General and Support Departments?

Before anyone could say anything on the matter though, that voice spoke again, and it seemed to come from nowhere.

"Hey there, howdy, hello! Is everyone here? Good! Then let's get things rolling!" In that moment, everyone looked towards where the voice came, up on the stage. At that moment, from behind the podium where the headmaster would address their students, popped up an odd looking bear. Half its body was white, while the other half was black, split down the middle vertically. The white side seemed completely normal, like what you'd see on a teddy bear. The black side however seemed more malicious, with a mischievous looking grin, and a wicked looking red eye.

"Is that supposed to be a teddy bear?" Denki asked, voicing everyone's confusion.

"I am not a teddy bear!" the bear spoke, surprising all of us yet again. "I…am…Monokuma! And I am this school's headmaster."

To say I was confused would be an understatement. While there have been rare instances of animals developing quirks, nothing I've seen or read have described anything like this.

"It's so nice to finally meet you all!" Monokuma said in that same carefree tone. I don't know what it was about the way he was talking, but I couldn't help but feel slightly fearful. Looking around, I saw several others must have come to the same conclusion.

"N-No way! That thing can talk!?" Mina shouted.

"What did I just say!? I'm not a 'thing', I'm Monokuma, your guy's headmaster!" Monokuma shouted in anger.

"N-Now it's moving!" Mina yelled again.

"J-Just calm down, I'm sure it's just being remote controlled," said Mashirao said.

"That really hurts you know…comparing me to something like a little kid's toy…" Monokuma said, now somewhat depressed, before doing a one eighty and laughing it off. "My remote control system is so complex, even those guys with Quirks that specialize in examining such things would have a hard time understanding it. But let's move on, it would be beary depressing if I were to just keep insulting those guys."

" 'Beary'? That isn't a very creative joke you know," Shouto said.

"Now then, onto more pressing matters. First off, everyone, stand at attention and bow. And…good morning!" Monokuma said, bowing to the group.

"Good morning!" Tenya replied, bowing back.

"You don't really have to say it back you know," Tsuyu said.

"Not then, let's get down to the point, shall we?" Monokuma said. "You guys are all here cause you wanna be heroes. You wanna save the day, and fight for justice, right? This means that you guys will eventually become the hope of the world. So, in order to protect those splendid hopes, you will all live a communal life together solely within the confines of this school. Everyone will live in harmony together, and adhere to the rules and regulations of the school. And regarding the end date of this communal life…there isn't really one at all! To put it simply, all of you guys will be here until the day you die! Such is the school life that you have been assigned."

"Un…Until the day we die?" Tooru asked, the nervousness clear in her voice.

"But have no fear! We have quite an abundant budget, so you won't lack for all the common conveniences," Monokuma continued to explain.

"Just hold on a damn minute!" Eijirou yelled. "You're telling us we have to live here for the rest of our lives!? This has to be some sort of sick joke!"

"I'm not joking at all!" Monokuma responded. "In fact, I couldn't be any more serious, this is the 100% truth! And just so you guys know, we're completely cut off from the outside world. So you don't really have to worry about that dirty dirty land beyond these walls ever again."

"We're…cut off?" I asked. "So all of those metal plates everywhere…there to keep us trapped inside?"

"That's exactly what they're there for!" Monokuma said. "No matter how much you may yell, or scream for help…help will not come. So then, with all of that in mind, feel free to live out your life here with reckless abandon!"

"This has to be some sort of joke," Hanta said. "There's no way any of this is real."

"Y-Yeah man, cut it out," Denki added.

"You all still don't believe me? You're just a bunch of skeptics, all of you," Monokuma said. "But I suppose that can't really be helped. In this day in age, those who have power are bound to abuse it, and you'd rather not believe that it was used on you. In any case, you'll have plenty of time to figure out if I'm telling the truth or not. And when that time comes, you'll see that I'm telling you the undeniable truth. But even if you don't believe me, you all willingly signed up to attend this school, didn't you? And before we're even done with the entrance ceremony, many of you already want to leave? Oh…I suppose I can let you all in a little secret. There is one way for you guys to leave this school."

"There is?" Kyouka asked.

"As your headmaster, I've created a special clause for those of you who would like to leave. I like to call it….the Graduation Clause!" Monokuma continued. "Now, let me tell you about this fun little rule. As I mentioned before, in order to maintain peace and harmony here, a communal lifestyle has been put in place. But if someone were to disrupt that harmony, they and they alone will be allowed to leave the school. That, my students, is the Graduation Clause!"

"What exactly do you mean by 'disrupt the harmony'?" Fumikage asked.

"Upupu…well…you know…" Monokuma laughed. And even without an explanation, that laugh sent a shiver down my spine. "If one person here were to murder another."

"Murder!?" I shouted, caught completely off guard by the answer.

"Of course! Stabbing, strangling, bludgeoning, crushing, hacking, drowning, igniting," Monokuma listed off. "It doesn't matter how you do it, you just gotta kill someone if you wanna leave. It's as simple as that. The rest will be up to you. Give it your all to achieve the best outcome in the worst way possible."

Kill someone if you want to leave. Those words kept replaying in my head over and over again. My blood ran cold no matter how I thought about it.

"Upupu…I bet that got your brain juices flowing! Beats the heck out of a human catching a salmon, huh?" Monokuma said. "Like I said before, you guys are the hope of the world. But you know…taking that hope and seeing it get murdered creates a darkened shadow of despair. And I just find that so…darn…exciting!"

"You gotta be insane…to kill each other is…it's…" Denki tried to say, but in the end couldn't even finish his thought.

"To kill each other is to kill each other. I'm sure there's a dictionary here somewhere if you need one," Monokuma said, mocking Denki.

"That's not the problem here!" Mina shouted. "Why do we have to kill each other!?"

"Yeah! Stop with this nonsense and just let us go home already!" Hanta shouted.

"Nonsense?" Monokuma asked, and by the tone of his voice, he didn't sound happy at all. His red eye flashed for a moment before he said. "Nonsense, nonsense, what do you mean nonsense!? Stop this nonsense about nonsense! You guys really don't get it, do you? 'Let us go, let us go!' You guys keep saying the same thing over and over and over and over! Listen, from this moment on, this school is your home, your life, your world. Got it? And you can kill as much as you wanna kill! So go ahead, go on a kill-kill-killing spree!"

"I've had enough of this fucking bear!" Katsuki roared as he marched towards Monokuma. When he was in front of him, he grabbed the top of Monokuma's head, and pulled him up into the air. "I don't know what the hell you or, nor do I care, but you're pissing me off! I'm gonna tear you apart!"

"Waah! Violence against the headmaster is in violation of school regulations!" Monokuma said as he swung his arms up and down.

"Shut the fuck up! I've had enough of the bullshit you keep saying!" Katsuki shouted.

Suddenly, Monokuma just stopped moving in Katsuki's grasp, as a loud beeping sound was heard.

"I said shut the fuck up!" Katsuki shouted as the beeping got faster.

"Katsuki! Get rid of him, right now!" Shouto shouted.

"Huh?" Katsuki went, looking over at Shouto.

"Just throw him or something!" Shouto shouted. I don't know if it's the way Shouto said it, or if it was something else entirely, but Katsuki ended up throwing Monokuma up into the air with all his strength. When Monokuma reached the apex, he blow up in a ball of fire.

"What the!?" Katsuki went. "He…he just blew himself up!"

"That...that wasn't a joke…" Hanta said.

"But…doesn't that mean he's gone now?" Tooru asked.

"I could never leave you guys!" came the voice of Monokuma as he popped up from behind the podium again.

"Another one came outta nowhere!" Rikidou said.

"You…you damn bear!" Katsuki shouted. "You just tried to kill me!"

"Well of course I tried to kill you," Monokuma stated matter a factly. "You did violate one of the school regulations after all. I'll let you off with a warning this time, but you'd better be careful from now on. Any naughty boys or girls who violate my rules won't get off with just a little swat on the butt."

"W…wait…does that mean that there are even more of you around here somewhere?" Minoru asked.

"Monokumas have been placed all throughout the school, yes," Monokuma answered. "And let's not forget about the surveillance cameras installed everywhere. And if you're caught breaking the rules, well…you all saw what just happened right? Upupu…And I won't be so forgiving with my punishment next time. So don't let it happen again."

"That's not even a punishment…" Mina said. "It's just…it's wrong."

"One more thing, to commemorate your joyous entry in this school, I have a little something for all of you," Monokuma said as he pulled out a small box, handing out what was inside to each of us. We each received a small blue device, about as big as our hands. "This is your official student handbook. Pretty cool huh? As you can see, it's fully digital. So naturally, we call it the e-Handbook! Now then, moving on. This handbook is absolutely vital for a healthy school life. So don't lose it! When you start it up, it will display the name of who's ever it is. So make sure you have the right one."

Everyone immediately turned on their e-Handbooks. Low and hold, as soon as I turned it on, the screen read "Izuku Midoriya," just like he said it would.

"This isn't your everyday notebook however, it has so many more functions!" Monokuma said. "Also, these things are completely water proof. Slash it, wash it, drown it, it'll keep on ticking. And due to its unique design, it can even stand up to an impact force of ten tons. These things are really resilient! They also contain all of this school's regulations, so make sure to read through them the first chance you get. You'll hear me say this a lot, but any violation of school regulations will not be tolerated. Rules restrict, yes, but they also protect. Society, for example, would be utter chaos without laws. The same thing applies here, which is why we have strict punishments in place for violators. Okay, this brings our little entrance ceremony to a close. I've gone over all the important bits of information."

"What do you mean important bits?" Yuuga asked.

"I mean that I have more to say, but you guys don't have to listen to this, but I highly recommend you do," Monokuma stated. "Each and every one of you possesses a Quirk, some obvious, some not so much. I say, of you wanna get away with murder, don't reveal your Quirk. It may just be the thing to give you away. And speaking of Quirks, Mr. Kaminari!"

"Wha…Y…Yes?" Denki asked, extremely nervous.

"I feel that your Quirk is especially dangerous, so I'm gonna have to ask you to not, under any circumstances, use it. Am I understood?" Monokuma asked.

"And…and what if I decide to ignore your warning?" Denki asked cautiously.

"Well…I guess I'll just have to punish you for going against your headmaster's instructions, won't I?" Monokuma nonchalantly said.

Denki visibly paled at the threat, conceding to Monokuma's demands as he slowly noded.

"Since that's all out of the way, I guess I'll be seeing you all later!" Monokuma said. "I hope you all enjoy your abundantly dreary school life!" With that being said, he jumped back up on top of the podium, before jumping back behind it where he came, leaving us to our thoughts. And even though he was no longer here, what he said seemed to have a lasting effect on us, we were all still in shock from what we learned.

"…What…what just happened?" Kyouka asked. "Can…can anyone really explain what just happened?"

"It seems we've been given two options…" Mezou said. "We can either live here together forever…or…" Mezou seemed like he was unable to finish his thought. But he didn't have to say it, because every single one of us already knew. We knew that if we wanted to leave, we had to kill one of the others among us.

"We should all remain calm," Shouto said. He seemed to be the calmest amongst us. "Are you all really gonna listen to what that bear said? None of us have any real reason to kill eachother."

"But we were all abducted and put into this strange place!" Yuuga said. "How can you remain calm at a time like this? We were told to kill each other if we wanted to leave. What even is this situation!?"

"This all has to be fake, there's no doubt about it," Denki said.

"I think whether this is fake or real is not the major concern right now," Fumikage said. "What we should be worried about, is whether or not anyone of us is actually considering what he said."

Nobody said a word after that. Even I couldn't think of anything to say, so instead, I looked around at the others. Everyone else was doing the same thing, looking over each other, trying to tell what the other person was thinking. The tension in the air was palpable. It was then that I realized the intention of Monokuma's words. Even if we had no intention to, he wanted to plant the seeds of distrust among us. We're all suspicious of each other, wondering, who here is going to betray us?

This is how my school year started. This school, U.A., I put so much of my hope into becoming a hero here. Only for my entire world to be turned upside down.

A/N: And that's the prologue. Pretty much retelling the original, but kinda necessary to set up the story, introducing characters, setting up plot, etc. But from this point on, I'm hoping to be as original as possible, with maybe a few exceptions.

This is important though, while I do want to keep everyone as in character as possible, let me know how I do by the way, there may be moments when it's necessary for them to go out of character. Then again, I suppose the stress of a situation like this could get to anyone. But my point still stands. That's all I really have to say for now. Leave a Review on your thoughts on the chapter, or maybe a question should you have one. I'll seeya guys around.
