Danganronpa Antebellum: Lockdown Novels & Stories

Red emergency lights flickered on, and the entire house seemed to come alive. The front door slammed shut behind us. The windows locked automatically. We were trapped. “Dammit!” Daniel hissed. “The doors are on an automatic lockdown.” I spun around, checking every exit. Nothing. “We need another way out,” I said. Daniel pulled out his phone. “I’ll try to override the system.” I clenched my fists. This wasn’t part of the plan. We were supposed to be in and out before anyone even noticed. Then, the worst thing happened.

“I’ve been expecting you.” Zane’s jaw tightened. “Who are you?” “I’m the one who’s going to end this game,” the man replied. “And you’ve just made your final move.” Suddenly, the facility’s lights dimmed, and an alarm blared once more. --- “Camilla, what’s happening?” Zane demanded. “They’ve activated a lockdown,” Camilla said, her voice panicked. “The entire facility is sealing itself off. We’re trapped.” Maya’s breath hitched as she looked around, her heart racing. “What do we do?”

Me. I hear Benny swear as the car dies as the link between was cut. I tell everyone what is going on. Dad says he will stay here with the women. I make sure to have several of our best warriors come to the pack house. I have no idea if they will try to get this deep into our territory, but I am not taking a fucking chance. The rest of us, including Dorian, Xo and Lance headed out. They were more than able to keep up with us as we all shifted. I heard a loud howl as we closed in on where they should be. I could hear growling, and I knew that Benny was fighting. I had no idea where my dark princess was, but if they touched one hair on her head they would die. It started growing darker the clos

"Drake Lockman is an exceedingly dangerous man. After he finishes with me, he'll come for you. There is no escaping him, no matter how hard you try." Mr. Woods read, his voice filled with desperation. "Please, can you now let my daughter go?" Drake Lockman, a malevolent grin spreading across his face, responded callously, "Sure, I have no use for her or you anymore. I'll let both of you go." He waved his hand dismissively. "Bye-bye." In an instant, a single bullet pierced through Mr. Woods' skull, causing Diana's screams to echo in the background. The camera then shifted to her, capturing the horrifying moment her head exploded into a cloud of gore.

I muttered, tapping the screen to access the estate's internal communication hub. The digital dashboard showed Blackthorn Estate was operating under maximum Level 5 Security Lockdown. Dante had stationed heavily armed guards at every possible entry point, transforming the mansion into an impenetrable fortress. A sharp knock rattled the heavy oak door, breaking the monotonous hum of the room's heater. "Enter," I commanded, my vocal tone perfectly flat and authoritative. Elena Marchetti stepped into the room, her hands clutching a silver breakfast tray tightly to her chest.

The engine died. Silence followed— Heavy. Suffocating. Elena’s breath came in sharp bursts as her hands trembled on the steering wheel. “No… no, no—” She twisted the key again. Nothing. Dead. Completely dead. The device in her hand pulsed once— Then went still. SYSTEM LOCKDOWN INITIATED The words burned into her vision. Behind her— Headlights flooded the road. Blinding. Trapping. Boxing her in.

“Jackson… the door.” Savannah’s voice trembled, barely audible over the rising hum of the servers. Jackson was already there, pulling at the reinforced steel handle, muscles straining, jaw locked in fury. It didn’t budge. Cole checked the panel beside it, fingers flying across the keypad. “It’s no use. Harrison activated Level-4 lockdown. Nothing opens without his override.” Savannah’s heart slammed against her ribs. “So what do we do?”

He pulled the crumpled photo from his pocket and stared at the red crosshairs one last time before ripping it into pieces. "Romeo.” Dante called out. "Yeah?" "Activate Protocol Black when we hit the perimeter. I want the house on total lockdown. No one in or out without my biometric scan. Not even you." Romeo’s eyes met Dante’s in the rearview mirror. He nodded, "Understood."

…continuation The Choice in the Dark "Annie, now!" Jinyan shouted into his comms. The lab’s lights flickered. A high-pitched siren began to wail. "I’ve breached the cooling system!" Annie’s voice crackled. "Jinyan, the pods are going into an emergency lockdown! You have three minutes before the backup security team arrives!" Jinyan pulled a compact submachine gun from beneath his silk shirt. Panni drew the tactical knife she had hidden in her thigh holster.

“This feels wrong.” “It’s always wrong,” Dante murmured. “Keep moving.” They reached the data core—a circular chamber lined with shimmering panels. At the center stood the main terminal, glowing faint blue. “This is it,” Aiden whispered. He plugged in the drive and started typing, hands flying across the keyboard. “I just need to isolate our DNA signatures—” The system screamed. ACCESS DENIED. LOCKDOWN INITIATED. Dante swore. “He’s here.” The screens flickered. Julian’s face appeared, calm as ever. “You really never learn, do you?”
