The Panoptical Gambit

Summary:

After dismantling the Neo World Program and committing treason against the Future Foundation; DICE leader, Kokichi Ouma, is put on trial for his crimes. The world demands to see blood, but his execution is interrupted before the first blow can be landed. Instead, he's taken on the trip of a lifetime: to a tropical island named Jabberwock, where the worlds most feared rebels lie. Former despairs, insurrectionists, terrorists... All in one place.

As he relaxes on the island, slowly healing and relaxing with his friends and the ocean waves; he slowly begins to come up with a plan. An escape, and a coup. But, before he and his fellow treasonous few can make their next move, they hear a sickly familiar voice chime out.

"Puhuhu!~"

... Oh god. Not again.

Notes:

This is just a teaser! The next chapter will be posted next week.

If you're new here, I'd suggest reading the first fic in the meantime. It's not necessary to understand the story, but it does give some good background information and lore.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

The waves crashed against the beach rhythmically as a green haired girl sat alone, throwing rocks into the clear blue ocean. Nobody else was around at this time of the night, so she was alone. She was shaken from her peaceful zen from a loud beeping sound. Sighing, she tapped the ring on her finger, and spoke.



“Hello?” 

 

“You’re still awake.”


“Uh, duh! Monica is speaking right now, isn’t she?”

 

“Ah, I walked into that one… How are things over there, smartass?”

 



“You know. The usual. Monica spends all day building robots for the Foundation, and then goes to bed. Though I don’t like the current job they tasked me with.” 

 



“What are they having you do now?” 

 


She sifted through the sand and pulled up another rock, tossing it into the ocean. It was useless to explain when they both knew the answer. “...He’s getting executed, isn’t he?”

 


The voice on the other end sighed. “You guessed it. They're holding a trial for him tomorrow, but I had a feeling they already decided the verdict. God... I don't even know what to do with that kid." 



"There's another ship coming to Jabberwock soon." 



"Are you saying that I should-?" 

 



"You want him to survive, right?" 

 



"But... The rule was broken on the island, wasn't it? Isn't it going to be more dangerous there?" 




"Then over there? No. Monica thinks the threat was just a bluff. And if not, we can handle a few Monokuma's." 




"Okay... I'll trust your judgement on this one. Keep him safe for me, okay?" 

 

"Monica will try, but you know 'Chi. He's crazier than Nagito, and that's saying something." 

 

"I knew I could trust you. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Good night!" 


The call disconnected. She stretched and looked out at the ocean with a sigh. DICE were rowdy enough on their own, but none of them were ready for the chaos that little boy was going to create. She smiled. 


She couldn't wait.
