Chapter 33: Resurrection

Xxx

As Noah stepped through the doors, he found himself in a completely white void with the others. Behind him, the other survivors also looking around in confusion. In front of them, there was a girl they all recognized.

Noah blinked. "Dawn? You're alive?"

Dawn nodded. "Yep."

"Oh," Noah blinked. "Lol."

"Lol," Dawn agreed.

"Lol," Gwen said.

"Lol," Geoff said.

"Lol," Jo said.

"Lol," Brick said.

Lindsay gave everyone a weird look. "What are you all saying?!" she gasped, looking at her surroundings scared out of her mind. "Where are we?! I thought we were going outside!" She started to sob. "What I'd this?!"

"Oh, we just passed the end of the story," Noah explained nonchalantly. "Were just waiting for it to all end." He shrugged. "Incorrect grammar be damned."

Lindsay paled. "WHAT?!"

"lmao," Gwen said.

Two more people appeared out of thin air. One of them was Monokuma and the other was some skinny Indian dude wearing glasses. "Jeez," the Indian guy said, adjusting his glasses. "Seems like the April Fools formula broke the boundary of the fic."

Lindsay screamed.

"Cool," Jo replied.

"Very," Dawn agreed.

Monokuma gave Dawn a withering look. "Whatever, Heroi Oscura," he said to the indian guy. "But Dawn isn't supposed to be alive."

Heroi just shrugged. "Execute her again," he offered. "Her execution in this story was already a carbon copy so it wouldn't hurt to give her a unique one."

Monokuma nodded rapidly. "I'll get right on it!"

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Lindsay wailed.

Noah turned to Dawn. "Well have fun dying again," he said to her. "I'm going to go and be psychologically tortured in a different story of Heroi's where I have to deal with raging monster oni who dresses in all yellow." He paused. "A banana oni."

"Sounds like fun," Dawn honestly said.

Jo groaned. "I wish I could've been a part of that."

"Sucks to be you, bra!" Geoff grinned. "Another death game for us! Well…" he shrugged. "If Heroi seems me an important character enough."

Lindsay gave Geoff a horrified look. "WHAT?!"

"I actually know who's the main antagonist of that story." Brick smirked and whispered into Geoff's ear, who then recoiled.

"What?!"

"Not who you expected huh?" Gwen sniggered.

Geoff shook his face. "No not really!" he laughed.

"Alright I'm done!" Monokuma suddenly announced. "Anyway, what am I going to do, now?!"

"Appear in every other story where you're featured," Heroi remarked dryly. "I'll probably make you look like a Wigglytuff and punt you into Pokémon." He shrugged. "And probably make something Harry Potter related, idk." He looked over to where Dawn and Noah were sucking face and rolled his eyes. "well time for the execution, I guess." He pressed a large red button located conveniently nearby.

"No!" Lindsay screamed, her hands reaching out to grab Dawn.

However… she was pretty fucking far away so she failed miserably.

Dawn has been found guilty!

Time for Execution!

Dawn opened her eyes to find herself tied to a large log, facing the sky. Her arms and legs were bound to it, but her head was free for her to turn it around and look to her right and left.

In both directions, she could see Monokumas wearing palm leaf skirts and tribal paint. All of them were chanting something in some other language, though Dawn strongly suspected that said language was actually fake. Some random sounds and noises were enough to create the illusion of language.

If she craned her neck, she could see some more Monokumas carrying her log from under her and that a larger one was leading the pack up a small path. Her eyes widened when she realized where they were taking her.

Above her, she could see the towering visage of a smoking volcano. The heat itself was enough to make her sweat if she wasn't already from the realization of what Monokuma was going to do to her.

Sacrifice to the Earth Goddess

Dawn began to struggle wildly, but her bonds held tight, so it was impossible for her to break free. Resigned, she relaxed and waited for an opportunity to escape. As they got closer and closer to the volcano's edge, the chanting or singing got louder while she began to sweat more.

And finally, they were at the edge. The Monokumas had turned her around so that she was looking down into the hole, where she could see that the volcano was active, lava bubbling right underneath her. The Monokumas righted her so that she was facing the lead one, who was wearing some sort of chieftain's hat. She took a deep breath, waiting for him to untie her, but instead, the Monokuma giggled, its red eye gleaming, before kicking her into the lava below. The Monokumas around him went crazy, dancing and singing as she fell.

She landed upright in the lava, her log quickly burning away. She could hear the Monokumas jeering from above her, but instead, she just closed her eyes and fell silent.

She smiled.

The Monokumas slowly stopped dancing as they just watched as Dawn burned away, peacefully. The lava bubbled and swallowed her remains, leaving the volcano peaceful once again.

Only for a few seconds.

Suddenly, the lava burst apart and Dawn emerged from out of it, flying up into the sky. On her back were two large white angel wings and a small halo floated above her head. She smiled down to the tribe of Monokumas before her spirit flew off into the sky, escaping the bears.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Monokuma's grin grow wider.

Dawn felt a sharp tug on her ankle and suddenly she was being pulled down, back towards the volcano. She looked down to see a thin black tendril curled around her left foot, coming from the inner depths of the volcano. She screamed as she was dragged down back into the lava, feeling it sear her skin. She flailed around, as her wings melted away and Monokuma watched with a dark expression.

Finally, she submerged and disappeared, the only thing left of her a golden halo floating on the surface of the lava. Though even that disappeared soon enough.

Executed: Dawn

Happy April Fools Day!

Hope you enjoyed Dawn's alternate execution. This is an execution I would've used if Dawn was an actual killer, but since she was the mastermind, something that resembled DR1's final execution seemed more fitting in my opinion.

Reviews and constructive criticism are appreciated.
