what if nagito got the knife (danganrompa what if series)

The Blackout

Nagitos pov

I smirked to myself as everyone clinked glasses, all smiles as if for only that night they weren't in a life or death match. I hate to ruin their perfect night but it's necessary. To feel the full force of despair their heart's need to first be filled with hope. It's simple science.

I looked over at byakuya. He was my perfect pawn. I made him dance to my tune like a puppet on a string. Though it would be foolish to underestimate someone like him. After all he came with that case. I know he'll try and throt me in some way.

I checked my watch. It should be happening in three..two..one-

*Wurr*

"Ahh it's a blackout!"

"Everyone just try and stay calm"

"Oww don't step on my foot!"

In the chaos I made my move. I grabbed the cord and made my way to the table. I threw the cover over in anticipation to reveal a glowing knife. I admired it for a moment. There's that little beauty. The one that's going to bring out my friends true hope-

My thoughts were cut off by heavy feet making their way to me. I looked out to see the vague silloete of byakuya with some night vision stomping over to me. Hah what genius! I'm thoroughly impressed but I can't let him stop me.

I grabbed the knife and ducked out of the way. The crashing sound behind me told me I'd successfully evaded him. With a smirk I stood up and stabbed the nearest person...
