Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here Naegi's woes takes a turn as something unexpected took place, which might prove to be a make or break in saving Novoselic from the Prime Minister and the chancellor's tyrannical rule…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 47: Shūban part 6
At the base, Hagakure is horrified at seeing so many citizens being rounded up, ranging from adults to children, and there the SHSL Fortune Teller demanded to know why are the soldiers doing this, but the soldier guarding him said that they are just following orders and told Hagakure to reveal Naegi's location, and or else he will be forced to do so.
Hagakure stared wide-eyed seeing that the soldier is holding a cattle prod laced with high-level electricity, intending to torture him for information and this made him screamed in terror, saying that he really don't know where Naegi is as he hasn't seen him since the other day, but the soldier doesn't seem to care as all he wanted is to inflict pain and uses the interrogation as an excuse.
"Now then…"
"W-wait…!"
"You will tell us where that boy is hiding…"
"I swear! I really don't know where Naegi-chi is hiding!"
"Not good enough."
"…"
"Shall we begin…?"
"Help! Someone help me!"
Suddenly, other soldiers were thrown in, and they were beaten up, and as the soldier who intend to torture Hagakure peered outside the tent, he was grabbed and sounds of being beaten up can be heard, and soon someone came in.
It was Gundam Tanaka, and he set Hagakure free and informed him that he was aware of what is happening and began to amass some ALLIES to help the Novoselic citizens, as as Hagakure peered out of the tent, he is surprised to see the captured citizens set free, and the ones who rescued them turn out to be three bears, wearing SWAT uniforms, and each of them wearing wigs, and two of them sporting beards.
The bears are cosplaying WWE wrestlers Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose (collectively known as the SHIELD), and the soldier in charge was terrified as the three bears crackled their knuckles as they are poised to give him a beat-down and there Tanaka demanded to know why the prime minister and the chancellor want Naegi dead since the boy is practically harmless and incapable of defending himself, but the soldier said he is only following orders and nothing more.
Seeing that there is no point, Tanaka told the bears to beat up the soldier, and the trio bears nodded as they proceeded to beat up the soldier, with the freed citizens urging the bears to beat him senseless.
"Yeah!"
"Get him!"
"Beat him up!"
"Show him who's boss!"
"Kick his sorry arse!"
"Make him regret it!"
"Go get him!"
"Avenge us citizens!"
There Tanaka led Hagakure towards a waiting van, and told him that they are going to meet someone who would help them in putting a stop to this madness and there Hagakure asked what about Naegi, stating that he is becoming an unwilling wanted fugitive whose charges are trumped-up, but Tanaka assured that Naegi is safe and that someone will help him.
For now, Tanaka said that they need to meet with someone who will provide the means to stop the Prime Minister and the chancellor once and for all and restore Novoselic to its benevolent ways.
Hagakure felt uncomfortable as he wanted to get out of this country and return to Japan, but the SHSL Breeder promised that Hagakure would be rewarded if he helps in stopping the villains, which seemed to entice the SHSL Fortune Teller.
"R-really…?"
"That's what I was told."
"Euro dollars…?"
"Something like that."
"…"
"So?"
"So all I have to do is stop the bad guys, right?"
"Well…"
Tanaka said it would depend on how Hagakure could help in restoring peace in Novoselic, and if things go well, Hagakure could get more than a monetary reward, which you could see Hagakure's eyes flashing Euro dollars symbols on his eyeballs, while grinning at the amount he could potentially receive, and these are enough to convince him to participate in this mission.
Hagakure tells Tanaka that he is ready and asks for instructions on what to do, and there Tamika tells him the steps are to be taken and how to execute them, and the SHSL Fortuneteller readily accepted the instructions and reminds Tanaka of the promise.
"You have my word."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"About a 100K in Euro?"
"Yes."
"Then I'm in!"
"Then let us go."
"Okay!"
As the two Hope's Peak Academy students leave, the freed prisoners continue to beat up the soldiers who served the chancellor and they wouldn't let up, and the soldiers were screaming in pain and begged for mercy and spare them.
WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
However, the corrupt soldiers' misfortune intensifies as the three bears (cosplaying as the WWE stable the SHIELD) crackled their knuckles as they are about to dish out more punishment and the soldiers became terrified and begged the bears to spare them.
WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
But the freed citizens began to encourage the bears to beat up the soldiers so as to teach them a lesson and roared in approval, and this convinced the three bears to commence the punishment as they beat up the terrified soldiers.
The soldiers screamed in pain as they are now the ones getting tortured as they were being punched and stomped, and becoming punching bags for the three bears dressed as WWE wrestlers.
"AAAAAIIIIEEEE!"
"GGGGGYYYAAAHHH!"
"WWWWAAAHHH!"
"HHHHEEELLLPPP!"
"AAAAAIIIIEEEE!"
"GGGGGYYYAAAHHH!"
"WWWWAAAHHH!"
"HHHHEEELLLPPP!"
The freed citizens cheered loudly as they urged the bears to beat the soldiers up and show them what it means to experience karma for abusing their position and for tormenting their fellow citizens.
"Yeah!"
"Get him!"
"Beat him up!"
"Show him who's boss!"
"Kick his sorry arse!"
"Make him regret it!"
"Go get him!"
"Avenge us citizens!"

Elsewhere, Naegi and the two heroic cops remain on the run as heroic soldiers are stalling the soldiers serving the chancellor and so far the standoff bought the boy time to figure out a way to escape Novoselic and get international help, and there the cops told him that they would head for the docks and board a speedboat so that they can head for the international waters where Novoselic soldiers would not dare overstep their bounds.
The two cops told Naegi that he has to go on his own as they will try to hold off the pursuing soldiers, which the SHSL Luckster seemed to be unwilling to let them sacrifice themselves, and said that there has to be another way, which only affirmed the cops' resolve to protect him, seeing how good-natured the boy is.
They told Naegi that he has to survive and escape, as he is the only one who can save Novoselic from the Prime Minister and the chancellor's now-tyrannical rule, not to mention that Prince Charming is now just a DUMMY ruler.
"That's why you need to flee Novoselic."
"You're the only one who can save our country."
"But…but…"
"Please…you must do it."
"We believe in you."
"…"
"Save Novoselic. "
"And our people."
Naegi is disheartened that the cops are determined to stay and hold the pursuing soldiers off, and yet he had no choice as the fate of Novoselic lie in his chances of escaping the now-torn country, and as the trio are about to proceed, someone appeared before them.
The person is dressed in a full-on SWAT uniform with a vest, while wearing a black ski mask and a helmet, yet the person appeared roughly a bit taller than Naegi, and made some hand gestures which the cops seemed to recognize, and they approached the person, where they huddled and seemed to be planning something out.
Naegi appeared perplexed, but then the two cops approached him and told him the layout of the plans, and urged him to cooperate as this is a one-shot chance to expose the vileness of the Prime Minister and the Chancellor. Naegi stared wide-eyed as he is unsure given the secrecy of the person in the SWAT uniform, but the cops assured that the person can be trusted.
"Do not worry, Mr. Naegi."
"This person can be trusted."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"This person will help us."
"…"
"Time is short, so we do this right away."
"We must make our move."
"…"
-x-
Several minutes later, the soldiers who served the chancellor arrived where they saw what appeared to be a speedboat is leaving the docks, and saw the two cops fleeing, with Naegi in tow, and the lead soldier contacted the chancellor and informed him of the situation, and this made the chancellor furious and ordered the soldiers to shoot down the boy at all costs.
The lead soldier then asked what about the coast guard, and the chancellor said if they attempt to harbor the boy, shoot them down, as what matters is that Naegi must not leave Novoselic whatever it takes.
"Are you sure?"
"YES!"
"…"
"Shoot them down! I don't care how!"
"Sir…"
"Makoto Naegi must be taken down no matter what! Shoot the coast guard down if you have to!"
"Yes sir."
"Do it now!"
Nodding, the soldiers boarded another speedboat and began to give chase, where surprisingly, they managed to catch up with their targets, and are about to shoot him down when the Novoselic coast guard came, and demanded that the soldiers stop, saying that they are questioning the chancellor's actions as they deem the order an overkill.
The soldiers saw the cops and Naegi boarded the coast guard's ship, and the lead soldier seemingly obliges and sets off to leave. As the cops and Naegi thanked the coast guard leader for the help, he said it is nothing, but then they saw the soldiers aiming RPGs at the ship, and the coast guard members stared wide-eyed at what they are seeing.
"Hey!"
"Look!"
"What the…?"
"The chancellor is a megalomaniac!"
"He intend to shoot us down!"
"This is bad!"
"Quick! Abandon ship!"
"Hurry!"
Before anyone could react, the soldiers opened fire, shooting several RPG shells and struck the coast guard ship, killing everyone on board, and the soldiers inspected the site, seeing that no one survived the blast, and the lead soldier reported to the chancellor about what happened, and the chancellor is jumping in joy as he now ensured that no one will dare oppose him and the Prime Minister, as well as getting revenge over Naegi for the humiliation he endured.
"We confirmed it. No one survived."
"Yes!"
"Is there anything else?"
"Search the capital for any more of those who dare oppose us!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, you idiot!"
"Very well."
"Good!"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as drama and suspense dominated the story, as Naegi is now a subject of a despotic manhunt, but he got a reprieve as some members of a coast guard, who are good-natured opposes the Prime Minister's rule, came and attempted to protect him.
UNFORTUNATELY, the soldiers who served the chancellor, were ordered to shoot down the coast guard who attempted to harbor Naegi, and PAID THE PRICE for it.
