As God Is My Witness

**As God Is My Witness** is the name of Stella Masaki's execution, as featured in Danganronpa: Operation V.K..

This execution was never executed, as Stella never killed another player. However, it was discovered behind the Comms Room in Compound vK, and two surviving participants were able to view a demo for how the execution would proceed.

## Sequence

*Excerpt taken from Chapter 84 of Danganronpa: Operation V.K.*

She snorted, and hit the Explanation button. "Take us away, Kojiro."

"Hiya, kids!" Monokuma popped up on the screen, as usual. "I heard somebody wanted an explanation of *As God Is My Witness*, the execution we whipped up for Stella Masaki, the Ultimate Commentator! Well, I am a very talkative bear, so why not give it to you, really?"

It was Girl N, Girl C, and Girl M that slammed their hands and declared Girl S the killer. Heh, Stella chuckled to herself. Chihaya, Miria, and 'Rin.' Of course it'd be Kei's friends, right? "Nobody bought it, especially not her immediate family, so the horrendously homicidal Girl S is whisked away through our passages by our fabulous MK-Brand The Claw until she reaches this very room."

Girl S got smacked down in the center of the ring, slowly coming to her feet as the forklifts and chairs representing the other people in this 'match' did close to zero milling about on account of being forklifts and chairs. Monokuma sat with a dumb little hat at the announcer's table, as a cloaked figure began to approach from the entryway Stella and Kazuya had come from. "It's nearly the end of this plot arc, and it's finally time to uncover the Higher Power behind all these occurrences. Stone Cold Stella Masaki's about to face down the true mastermind, making their way to the ring, from parts unknown, for this match scheduled for **one** fall!"

As the cloaked figure approached the ring, Girl S slowly became cognizant that this 'Higher Power' was a lot larger than she was, and began backing away, but the ropes were quite insistent that she stay. So, eventually, the Higher Power got to the ring, and Girl S, pressured into it by the slowly zooming-in camera, doffed its cloak.

To say Stella was expecting to see her murderous self faced down with a vaguely monkey-esque suit of robot armor, with a great big slapping hand for a left arm and a mounted machine gun for a right, with white-and-black kneepads and the front of its flat head, about two and a half times her own height, would've been quite a lie. "My god." Stella said to the screen. "A weapon to surpass Metal Gear!"

"**AW, SON OF A BITCH!**" Monokuma cried. "It's Exisal Black! The lost sixth ranger of the Exisal Squadron! It's her, Austin! It was her all along, Austin!"

Exisal Black pounded its chest and made a mechanical roaring noise, blowing everything else away save for Girl S. "I'm sure Stone Cold Stella Masaki can manage it, in this climactic final match to close out the plotline! As with all climactic matches, this is of course... A HELL IN A CELL MATCH!" And the great cage above the ring came crashing down. And some fire jets started blowing around the ring.

Kazuya had quit being mad and was instead just blinking befuddledly. "What... what are we watching?"

"Wrestling." Stella replied.

Girl S naturally began backing away in fear again, but, well, there was a cage. Exisal Black didn't give her much more time to think, its tail whipping towards her and picking her up, leaping about and violently grinding her against the wall of the cage with an awful noise like the screeching of a dying animal. Blood, naturally, was drawn quite quickly, so when Girl S, clearly sobbing on the screen, began shouting towards Exisal Black, presumably for mercy, it was even more miserable a sight, seeing a great smear of her blood along the great steel trap she was stuck in.

Exisal Black was not moved by Girl S's pleas, and leapt up to the top of the cage before blowing it open with its mounted gun. Standing atop the cage, by the hole it had created, it switched Girl S from its tail to its great big hand. It roared and pounded its chest, probably giving Girl S another concussion or two.

Then it leapt.

The impact of Exisal Black slamming Girl S into the mat back-first was strong enough to utterly shatter her bones, if the great crack that Stella heard was any indication. As the dust cleared, streams of blood began running through Exisal Black's clenched fingers. "As God is my witness, she is broken in half!" Monokuma cried. "She is—"

And then Exisal Black pounded what was no doubt the corpse of Stella Masaki, crushed enough to be hidden within its great hand, two, three, four, five, six, seven more times, hard enough to create a crater. More and more shattering and slapping and squishing noises were heard as the great beast mangled her body, eventually dropping it in the crater and unloading a massive clip of bullets into it in one explosive blast, then furiously stomping the crater and digging whatever was even left under it into a little paste.

The camera panned up past the blood-covered Exisal Black into the crater, awash in a sea of splattered red. Girl S left not a corpse, but a revolting smear on the floor.

"Um." Kojiro stammered. "Y-you're sure we can't edit this? Really? Seems a bit excessive." His voice became a bit distant, as though he were talking to someone. "...It's 'all necessary?' Really? Geez, what crawled up your ass?" He returned to the cast. "Anyway, uh. That's it. Think I was supposed to read more while that was happening but who cares. Later." The broadcast cut off, and the credits roll sped by at about triple speed.

"...Someone...really hates you." Kazuya observed.
