The trip down was silent like the night sky. As you acended down, The elevator making sraping sounds with the concrete walls outside.

Pffffft..

Boombox: "Holy shit.."

Boombox coughed, closing his nose.

An awful stench filled up your lungs, as you covered your nose.

You: "What the hell?!"

Slingshot: "Oh that's disgusting!! Who let out that gas?!"

Medkit: "..And I thought.. Subspace's hygiene smell was worse..."

Subspace: "Atleast I didn't get my eye ripped out!!"

Medkit: "..Atleast I don't smell like pure dog-shit."

Subspace: "Atleast I'm stuck with a job I like!!"

Medkit: "Atleast I have a friend and don't rely on a killing bot."

Subspace: "Atleast I'm not wanted!!"

Medkit: "...So people don't like you?"

Subspace clenched his fists, gritting his teeth underneath his mask.

Subspace: "YOU.. JUST SHUT IT WILL YA?!"

Broker: "C'mon! Maybe save the conflict later??"

Zuka: "..Jesus, What did this person even eat?!"

Alchem: "I think.. Cough.. It was Boombox.."

Valk: "Boombox!!"

Boombox looked back at Valk confused and a TADDD bit angry.

Boombox: "WHY ME?!"

Alchem: "I mean, you're the first one to smell it! So it must be you!!"

Boombox: "It's not me! It's probably this Broker dude.. He's right infront of me!"

Broker: "Stop pointing fingers, kid! It ain't me!"

Dom groaned, feeling too exhausted.

Dom: "Urgh.. Could you guys shut up?"

Broker: "P-LEASEE..It aint that bad of a smell.. I've smelt worse than this."

Alchem: "You technically called yourself disgusting."

Broker: "You're an idiot.."

Broker sighed, leaning against the elevator wall.

Broker: "Maybe I shouldn't have came with on that trip."

Alchem looked at Broker, raising his eyebrow.

Alchem: "What trip?"

Medkit: "We went to go look for you."

Alchem: "Seriously? Who went?"

Rocket: "Me.. Vine-Staff.. Medkit.. Broker.. Zuka.. Sword.. And Him."

Rocket pointed to you, as Alchem shrugged.

Alchem: "Wait.. So HALF THE SUSPECTS ARE LITERALLY COUNTED INNOCENT ALREADY?"

Medkit: "Now you think about it.. I guess so."

Broker: "This shit's gonna be fuckin' easy!!"

Vine-Staff: "Probably.."

What felt like forever waiting, the elevator finally reached the bottom, you sighed, tired from the exhausting night as you can see Ban-Hammer outside, standing in a circle podiums.

Ban-Hammer: "Hurry up!! My momma's gonna be mad if I skip my bedtime to humor you guys!!"

Broker: "You still have a bedtime?"

Ban-Hammer: "Yeah!! What about it?!"

Broker: "...Nothin... Heheh.."

Darkheart was sitting comfortably on a big throne, grinning all the same as they kicked their legs.

The place looked like a courtroom, bring filled with island decors and make out fake trees as there were.. visible cameras.

Darkheart: "Are you all ready to start this class trial?"

Truth Bullets:

[Pierced In Grappler.]
- The body was found with a grappler that was pierced into Shuriken's calf.. Poor guy.

[Suspicious Blade.] (Old)
- There was a fragment of a blade beside the body.

[Strange Syringes.]
- There were syringes dumped outside the Bell Tower, you have no idea where this came from..

[Dom's Injection Stab]
- Valk found Dom's Injection stab on his leg.. Dom felt strangely eepy from it.

[Taped/Glued Razor Sharp Blade.] (New)
- You saw the other fragment up at the Bell Tower, it looked like it had beed taped on something.. No wait.. Superglued?

[Dom's Account.]
- Dom saw Valk & Boombox head out. Along with Slingshot, Hyperlaser, and that Samuri. He says thats the only thing he saw before he slept peacefully.

[Subspace's Account.]
- Subspace was trying to open the safe inside the Bell Tower. He was alone, and he couldn't open it.

You: "Yeah. I think we're ready."

Darkheart: "Then? Get on the podiums.. Let's see this case unfold.."

Rocket rushed to a podium, as Sword followed beside him.

Rocket: "This space is mine!! Sword get beside me!"

Sword got on the other podium beside Rocket, as they both high-five'd eachother.

Sword: "Yes!! We get to be beside eachother!"

Medkit: "I guess I'll go here."

Medkit went to the podium beside Rocket as the Practitioner sighed.

Medkit: "Let's get this over with..

You walked to the podium beside Medkit, yawning from fatigue.

As everyone finally got into their places.

(You're at the empty slot.)

Katana: "Is everyone ready for this?"

Valk: "Yeah, let's just get this started already."

Skateboard looked around, seeing a post of Shuriken.

Skateboard: "Wait, Hey.. What's this?"

Darkheart: "Oh! That's just a memorial photo of your dear.. Friend."

Darkheart: "..He may have died, but atleast he's still participating."

Vine-Staff looked away, shrugging while having a frown on her face.

Vine-Staff: "Okay.. I guess."

Boombox: "Wait.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5..-"

Boombox: "Okay, Why are two slots missin'?"

Darkheart: "Well, we were actually expecting 20.. Phighters.. But, 18 can still do, can it not?"

Darkheart: "Well, the trial may now commence!"

Alchem: "Wait! I need to ask something."

Alchem: "Accomplices. Can there be accomplices in class trials?"

Darkheart: "No.. Accomplices dont gain anything from helping the blackened."

Darkheart: "In other words, they're just a tool for the Blackened to use!~"

Alchem: "Well, I guess thank you.. Dakrheart."

Darkheart: "Well, we cant let our viewers wait, can we?"

Darkheart: "Let the class trial start!!!"

Valk: "So.. What do we discuss about..?"

Dom: "Anything.. I don't.. Feel that good.."

Valk: "Dom.. Just.. Try to last this trial.. Please."

Alchem: "I guess I'll start first."

Alchem: "..So.. Where was the body found?"

Medkit crossed his arm's, yawning.

Medkit: "It was at the Bell Tower.."

Vine-Staff: "And he was.."

Boombox turned to Vine-Staff, clearly worried as he tried to hug the Florist.

Boombox: "Vine-Staff.."

Vine-Staff moved away, feeling uncomfortable from remembering.

Vine-Staff: "I'm okay.. Don't worry."

Hyperlaser: "Are you sure?"

Vine-Staff: "Just.. Please. Stop."

Alchem: "Let's try to gather up info alright?"

Skateboard: "Sounds good to me."

You Literally Know What Would Be This Link. (Optional)

Medkit: "So Shuriken was found outside the Bell Tower."

Rocket: "And he was pulled... But with what? 

Broker: "By his grappler, of course! You saw!"

Sword: "But if he was pulled.."

Sword: "Wouldn't the killer had to pull up Shuriken?"

Ban-Hammer: "Nah!! That's impossible!"

Ban-Hammer: "I'm takin my guess Shuriken probably tried grappling up the Bell Tower!!"

Ban-Hammer: "And he probably most likeky fell, and his grappler stuck onto his leg!"

Ban-Hammer: "That's the reason why his head was bleeding!!"

Sword: "Wait, so you're sayin' Shuriken accidentally killed himself?!"

Slingshot: "I don't really want believe that.. But.."

Slingshot: "He WAS a lazy theif.."

You: " (I don't believe what Ban-Hammer says at all..)"

You: "(Shuriken..? Killing himself accidentally?)"

You: "(I need to analyze everything before I tell them..)"

You:

"NO THAT'S  WRONG!!"

You: "There's some holes in your statement, Ban-Hammer."

Ban-Hammer: "HUH?? MY IDEAS PERFECT!!"

You: "His grappler.. It was lodged into his calf..."

You: "There's no way Shuriken's grappler could have stabbed itself like that so strongly. It's impossible."

Skateboard: "Now that you think about that.."

Skateboard: "It kinda makes sense."

Vine-Staff: "Also, Shuriken would never.."

Vine-Staff: "H-He'd know it'll be to dangerous to do.. I know him.."

Ban-Hammer: "He's still an idiot nonetheless! So no wonders if he died the way in my theory!"

Subspace: "You didn't think your theory through, didn't you?!"

Ban-Hammer: "FINE!! I DIDN'T! Whatever!! It was just a dumb theory anyway!!"

Sword: "Also, If Shuriken fell to his death.."

Sword: "I wanted to know if someone pulled him.

Hyperlaser: "You're.. Right."

Sword: "Who was last to enter the Bell-Tower??"

Vine-Staff: "Would.. That not be.. Slingshot?"

Slingshot: "Huh!? Me!? No!! I was just exploring the area!"

Hyperlaser: "If so, we're there any witnesess you were just 'exploring'?"

Slingshot: "I-I um.."

Alchem: "The more you stutter, the most you look guilty.. Slingshot.."

Katana: "And Ban-Hammer, what took you so long to enter inside?"

Valk: "I think he went to take a piss."

Ban-Hammer: "Yeah, I did!"

Alchem: "You could've used that as an excuse to murder Shuriken."

Ban-Hammer: "Why would I every murder!??"

Alchem: "I dunno.. Escaping the island perhaps?"

Alchem: "I was actually thinking.."

Alchem: "I noticed the rope was cut. If Shuriken in Ban-Hammer's theory, 'fell to his death' why was the rope cut?"

Subspace: "...Duhhh!! Because the killer wouldn't have to consume more time to do it!!"

Katana: "...Cutting and letting go of Shuriken's grappler would have the same time equivalent. Why would they want to cut it?"

Subspace: "Let me finish, moron!!"

Subspace: "If the culprit raised up Shuriken, and dropped him immediately, the culprit's hand must be very rough and worn off!! His body is very very heavy, don't ya think!?"

Alchem: "And how do you know of that, Mr. Subspace?"

Subspace: "I tried to carry him to safety one time!! In our Phight's!!"

Alchem: "Oh yeah.. I healed him that day."

Rocket: "Wait, so you're saying that who has the most rough, AND dirtiest hands in this room, is the cultprit?"

Subspace: "Precisely, my dear Rocketeer!!"

Subspace:  ✨  "KYAHAHAHAHAH!! I'M A FUCKIN' GENIUS!!" ✨

Boombox: "We get it.. You're amazing."

Subspace: "STOP IT WITH A SARCASM!! I KNOW IM INTELLIGENT!!"

Vine-Staff: "...Everyone. Show your hand. NOW..."

Everyone except Ban-Hammer shower their hands, as they looked at eachother's palms. Everyone was clean.

Hyperlaser: "Ban-Hammer..?"

Ban-Hammer: "Fine, fine! I'll humor you punks for a bit!!"

Ban-Hammer showed his hands, it was also clean.

You: "Damn.. This is harder than be thought."

Ban-Hammer: "See!! Subspace's reasoning is nonsense!"

Subspace: "No, wait up."

Subspace: "What you all did was just to give me confirmation.."

Skateboard: "Huh..? About what exactly?"

Subspace: "Confirmation that the killer made a mechanism!!"

Medkit: "Are you sure they didn't use gloves instead?"

Vine-Staff: "We all don't have gloves. 

Boombox: "But what if the killer had a spare in his pocket of something?"

Subspace: "I mean, only Meddy has those gloves!"

Medkit: "I mean, I do.. But I never left my medkit inside the Bell Tower."

Alchem: "So where did the culprit get gloves or something?"

Subspace: "HOW SHOULD I KNOW? YOU FIGURE IT OUT SHITHEADS!!"

Zuka: "Let's just push that theory aside for now."

Alchem: "So.. What kind of contrap-"

Subspace: "I'll continue my explanation, mind you.. NOW SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK!!"

Alchem: "Meanie.. sob.."

Subspace: "IM GUESSIN THE KILLER.. Used a mechanism to pull up Shuriken!! A pulley to be exact!!"

Subspace: "I'm guessing the culprit was lazy to pull him up! Shuriken was a fat-ass anyway!!"

Vine-Staff: "Hey!! Don't talk shit about my brother..!"

Subspace: "And since the culprit couldn't have went down the stairs... Right?! It would make the murderer suspicious!! Am I right, Meddy!?"

Medkit: "..Don't.. EVER. Call me that."

Medkit: "But, I guess your line of reasoning is acceptable... Considering all the evidence we have."

Broker: "Woahh!! Is Medkit turning into a new leaf??"

Medkit: "No. I was just-"

Ban-Hammer:

"THE WARDEN OF BANLANDS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!"

Medkit: "Huh? Who the fuck shouted?"

Ban-Hammer: "I don't believe Subspaces Theory!! Because it makes NO SENSE!!"

Medkit: "It makes perfect-"

Ban-Hammer: "Maybe this counter will shut that rotting scientist up!!"

EVERY BG IS OPTIONAL. (Optional)

Ban-Hammer: "The theory of a perfect murder is absurd!!"

Ban-Hammer: "Pure nonsense!! Just pure nonsense!!"

Ban-Hammer: "There's was nothing for the murderer to kill!!"

Ban-Hammer: "Besides, *why* are we talking about *why* the rope is cut or not!?"

Ban-Hammer: "IT'S JUST IRRELEVANT!"

Advance!!

Medkit: "No, it is relevant! Subspace said so.."

Medkit: "And also the killer didn't NEED anything to kill.."

Medkit: "The culprit used gravity. To kill Shuriken."

Ban-Hammer: "And your point is!?"

Ban-Hammer: "I don't get why we're even talking about this!!"

Ban-Hammer: "This is just idiotic!"

Ban-Hammer: "There wasn't even anything in the Bell-Tower to cut!"

Medkit: "(So that's his rebruttal, huh?)"

Medkit: "(There's a pretty apparent hole in his statement..)

Medkit: "(I need to fight back, by using *that* evidence..! I can't lose control!)"

Medkit:

"I'll slice through your words!!"

Medkit: "No, there was something we found sharp. While we were investigating."

Ban-Hammer: "What..!?"

Medkit: "There was a sharp blade. It was the only thing that makes cutting Shuriken's grappler, possible."

Medkit: "It was snapped into two."

Medkit: "We found first part of it lying beside Shuriken's body."

Medkit: "And the other one, glued and taped on the ring of the Bell."

Boombox: "..Huh? I.. I don't even know what you guys are saying right now.."

Rocket: "Same.. I'm kinda lost.."

Medkit: "To sum it for you both without braincells, the killer DID use a mechanism. So I agree.. With.. Subspace."

Valk: "It's the first time I hear you both working together without quarreling!!"

Subspace formed a toothy grin, as the scientist placed his hands on his hips, laughing confidently.

Subspace: "Do you like me now, Meddy?!"

Medkit: "Oh jeez, only in your dreams ya rot."

Alchem: "Wait. I just have one question."

Rocket: "Well?? Spit it out!!"

Alchem: "If in Subspace's Theory, that we all believed in.. Of course."

Ban-Hammer: "I still don't!!"

Broker: "Shut up, nobody cares about you."

Ban-Hammer: "DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT TO THE WARDEN OF BANLANDS!! I'M GONNA-"

Broker: "What? Cry to your momma?? Like your ass would?"

Darkheart: "Hey, hey!! I do not accept violence and rude talks!! If you are going to argue, I can only allow it in battles of wits."

Ban-Hammer: "You're VERY lucky I can keep my temper with you."

Alchem: "Anyway.. Ignoring all of that.. Conflict.."

Alchem: "If the culprit was at the top.."

Alchem: "And if he couldn't have used the stairs to go down.."

Alchem: "How did he get down? Without being suspicious, of course?"

Zuka: "Hey, Medic. You know how. Answer it."

Medkit: "The Large Window.. Right? It's the only way the culprit COULD'VE escaped."

Boombox: "Yeah, but wouldn't the killer DIE after dropping from a height?"

Broker: "Kid, that's where the pulley comes in."

Vine-Staff: "Are you suggesting the culprit used my brother's weight to.. Go down..?"

Alchem: "Precisely so."

Vine-Staff: "But if they held the end of the grappler.. Wouldn't they simply just.. Break their arm?"

Broker: "That.. Is true! I've done it before! And safe to say, I don't this it's THAT fun.."

Katana: "What if the tied on onto their body anyway?"

Broker: "I mean.. It'll probably be worser.. Your torso will be cut off. And yeah.."

Rocket: "..So how did the culprit get down anyway?!"

Alchem: "The culprit musta' have power's to FLOAT or be SUPER STRONG n HEALTHY.. Or something. It's the only possible way."

Dom: "...S-So suspects are.."

Ban-Hammer: "Woah! Didn't think you'd stay awake till now!!"

Dom: "O-Oh.. Spare me the s-sympathy..."

Dom: "It's either.. Ban-Hammer, Slingshot...Katana.. And Subspace.. Right?"

Subspace: "W-WHAT?? WHY AM I ONE FOR THE SUSPECTS!?"

Skateboard: "Can you not float down with your abilities..?"

Broker: "He can."

Subspace: "BUT.. I'VE BEEN HELPING YOU GUYS ALL THIS TIME!!"

Zuka: "We don't know that for sure. You could be just solving your own case for all we know."

Ban-Hammer: "WHY ME YOU DIPSHITS!?"

Alchem: "Ahem.." 

Ban-Hammer: "FOR THE LAST TIME!! I'M JUST REALLY LIKE THIS!"

Slingshot: "Wait.. WHY AM I A SUSPECT?!"

Hyperlaser: "Your ability to hover in the air. Is it not that clear?"

Slingshot: "B-But.. WHY WOULD I KILL MY OWN FAMILY MEMBER..!?"

Slingshot: "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I TRIED NOT TO BURST IN TEARS!? SHURIKEN WAS FAMILY!!"

You: "Slingshot.. W-We didn't mean to-"

Slingshot: "JUST SAVE IT!!"

(In Unison) Subspace, Slingshot, Katana, And Ban-Hammer:

"I'M NOT THE CULPRIT!!"

Ohhhhh.. Boy.

Goodluck.
