First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter even though it only got a few reviews despite having 8 followers. Now to see if the reception is good enough and if this chapter is well-received or not, but I'll do my best to make this story exciting for you readers out there.

Last chapter showed you what happened which Naegi gets to spend his first week at Hope's Peak Academy, accidentally getting drunk, how and why Naegi ended up meeting with the mysterious aliens, and why they assigned him to do some "safekeeping" with the unidentified item, in which the contents is soon to be unraveled as Naegi gets to see what this item does, but expect a lot of comic moments to happen as soon as you read this chapter below.

The time now is 23:30, and Yasuhiro Hagakure leaves the social party after doing several fortune reading services to various people, and he earned a lot of Yen so that he can save up and pay off his debts, in which he is pleased with, yet he recalled Makoto Naegi leaving earlier after unintentionally getting drunk, and hoped that Naegi is okay and decided to call him the next day to see if he arrived safely, and that nothing untoward happened to the "Luckster".

"Naegi-chi...I hope nothing happened to him..."

Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Ch. 3: Akai Sūtsu

Outside Earth, the UFO ship remained hovering in space, and used its cloaking mechanism to hide them from Earth's radars so that they won't be detected, and right now they are using their own surveillance devices as they await the moment Naegi unveils the "secret item" they gave him and see how he would use it, hoping that he would use it for benevolent ways and not the other way around, though Cherubi is apprehensive that Naegi might end up abusing it though Seraphi is confident that the teen boy will benefit a lot and believed in the boy's potential to do good.

"Seaphi..."

"What is it, Cherubi...?"

"..."

"Is there something worrying you?"

"Yes...that Earth boy...what if he...?"

"We have already observed the boy..."

"But..."

"He will not be corrupted...we have seen it ourselves..."

"Still..."

"Have faith, my friend..."

"Very well..."

By then Ophani came and said that everything is set and the trio aliens now began their surveillance and see what awaits the "resident Luckster" now that the time at Tokyo, japan is morning.

-x-

At Earth, the scene shifts in the neighborhood within Tokyo, which is Sunday morning, and then the scene zooms in towards the Naegi house where you can see Naegi waking up, and had a rather little bout of hangover after last night's party, in which his cellphone rang non-stop and he groggily get up to answer it and the caller turns out to be Hagakure, who had a rather worrying tone and there the two began to converse.

"H-hello...?"

"Naegi-chi!"

"Hagakure...?"

"Thank goodness! you're okay!"

"Yeah...just a bit of a headache...what's up?"

"Just checking on you...nothing happened, right?"

"N-nothing...really..."

"That's a relief..."

Despite not feeling good right now, Naegi assured to Hagakure that he is doing fine, and said that he got home and that's all that matter, though he told him he won't be attending any "social functions" as he doesn't want to encounter another drunkard and accidentally drink another alcoholic beverage, and Hagakure said he will tell the schoolmate what happen so that he will realize the mistake he made.

After that, Naegi turns off his cellphone and laid back on bed, still feeling some hangover, but suddenly had some vague recollection as he recalled the events last night after accidentally drinking some alcoholic drinks, and then he started to recall some more events of last night, and then looked down to see the box where he finally recalled that what he encountered last night was real.

"Ow...what a hangover...yeah...last night...so it really was a UFO...but still...why would...wait...the box! Then it all happened then...!"

As he was wondering what the content of the box is, he then recalled that a book was with the box, but as he looked for it, he couldn't find it, as he had no idea that the book, an instruction manual, was lost in the streets when he accidentally dropped it before he walked home last night after meeting with the UFO. But soon curiosity got the best of him and decided to see what the contents of the box is, so he opened it, and as he brought the contents out, he sweat-dropped at what he just saw.

"Eh? This is what the contents in this box for...? A red suit...? A cape? Weird."

Naegi found out the contents of the box, which revealed to be a red suit (with a black cape), a metallic belt with a chest symbol of unknown origin that resembled a weird- square-like symbol with a needle-like symbol in the center. He blinked his eyes as he wondered if he is seeing things or not, and recalling last night, he wondered why the UFO would leave something like this in his care, and unsure at first on what to do, but then a knock on the door is heard and heard a voice, which turns out to be Komaru, and he hurriedly puts the suit back inside the box and placed it under his bed.

"Onii-chan! Breakfast is ready!"

"..."

"Onii-chan?"

"Coming!"

"What's taking you?"

"I'm coming!"

"I'm going in then..."

"No...no need...I'm coming right out!"

After hiding the box, Naegi opens the door and Komaru comes in, and there she can still smell the scent of tequila and asks him why he drank an alcoholic beverage even though he is only 15, and there Naegi explained to her what happened last night, and assured to her that he will never go to any social party for the time being, as he didn't want to experience getting drunk again, which Komaru nodded and asks how he would explain to mom and dad about smelling like tequila, and Naegi hurriedly grabbed a towel and said he will take a quick shower.

Naegi leaves the room and Komaru is left behind, and as she looks around the room to find a manga she wanted to read, she saw the box under his bed and takes a look, and out of curiosity, she checked the contents, and saw the red suit, a pair of red boots, a strange belt, and cape, in which she blinked her eyes and looked at the contents, and is rather surprised to see this in her brother's room.

"What a strange costume...wait...Onii-chan's not in to cosplay, is he...?"

Komaru decided to put it back on the box and under the bed and she went to the door, just as Naegi came in, wrapped only in a towel and there the two siblings greet before she leaves, and there Naegi dressed up before coming downstairs to have breakfast, in which Komaru would join in with their parents, and from there Mrs. Naegi asks her son why he came home smelling like tequila and getting drunk, and there Naegi explained everything to his parents while Komaru looks on.

-x-

Several hours later, the Naegi family had just finished lunch and Naegi got a call, in which it was Maizono, and there she reminded him that she and her idol ban are having a live gig at a mall, and he recalled it as he is to head to the mall to watch her live gig, in which he promised that he will watch her live show, and there Naegi went back to his room to check on the "red suit", and after glancing at it, he slowly recalled what the aliens told him and out of curiosity, he decided to put it on and see why they told him to "use it" in a "benevolent way", and he slowly took off his clothes until only in his brief and began glancing at the red suit, and decided to put it on, and he is unaware that the door isn't locked and that Komaru is spying on him, as she expected to see her brother putting on the red suit.

"Okay...better see how this works...but still...why would a strange UFO leave this suit to me...? Was that really a dream and I got it from someone else? Maybe I got this because I was drunk at that time...still...whatever...better see what this suit can do and what am I going to do with it if it doesn't fit me well..."

After some three minutes, Naegi's clothes are on the floor and the scene shows that the teen is now wearing the red suit (the upper suit is tucked out) with the white belt, red boots and a black, spreadable cape (which it reached just above his knees), and as he stared at the mirror, he sighed as he felt bland, and wondered if this is really a "very important item" or not, and now he is wondering what to do next as he has no idea what to do next and why he was given such a rather "bland costume".

"Geez...I really looked lame...and why doesn't this suit have a mask...?"

Naegi then recalled that there are "cosplay events" which he and Komaru sometimes attend, in which there are prizes to be won and Naegi, out of curiosity, decided to see if this would help him win a prize if he ever join a cosplay contest, and decided to try out some poses which might give him some "luck", and maybe he could earn some extra money, not noticing that Komaru is watching, and is holding a digital camera.

As Naegi prances around to see if there are any "effects" of wearing the red suit, his younger sister came in, taking a picture and giggled to see her elder brother "playing" while cosplaying, and as Naegi was embarrassed to see his 13-year old younger sister, Komaru playfully explained that she might get some "inspiration" to make a manga, which Naegi sweat-dropped, feeling like a fool for getting caught in the act.

"Hi, onii-chan..."

"Ah...Komaru...well...you see...I, um..."

"Cosplaying, huh?"

"Well...yeah...you see..."

"And now you're practicing to "fly", huh?"

"Well...I'm just practicing...to see if I can enter a cosplay contest and..."

"I get it...but if you do some poses for me...I might make some sketches and make a superhero manga...and if my would-be employer likes it...I could earn some Yen...of course you'll get a commission..."

"SERIOUSLY?!"

As Komaru "begged" her elder brother to do some "superhero posing", Naegi gave in and began to do some poses, which Komaru took pictures of him doing those poses, and while Komaru is doing things happily, an idea came to her and took out her video camera and asks him to pretend that he is "going to jump towards the window and attempt to fly", which Naegi stared wide-eyed, and she begged him again and he reluctantly obliges, so he opened the window and began running towards the window, stopping only when he is near the window.

As Komaru is recording the scene, Naegi wondered if this is okay, yet he wondered if he is doing this stupidly or not.

"Wait...am I doing this is stupid?"

After several takes, Komaru begged him to try it one more time, and Naegi did the routine one more time, and when he realized he is nearing the open window, he tried to stop but instead he accidentally jumped and there he went through the window and Komaru went towards the window, concerned to see her elder brother jumping out of the window, and when she looked outside, Komaru stared wide-eyed to see the result, and is in a state of disbelief at what she just saw. Komaru started to wonder if there is magic involved or not as he pondered on whether to go outside and go after her brother or not.

"Now way...onii-chan is...really FLYING...?"

-x-

At outer space, the UFO's scanners detected that the suit has been "activated", and the trio aliens realized that Naegi has finally used the suit, and both Seraphi and Ophani are eager to see how Naegi uses the suit, though Cherubi is distrustful towards the teen, still believing that he might use it for selfish gain, though Seraphi tries to assure to him that they made the right choice in choosing Naegi as its temporary bearer.

"My brethren...it has begun..."

"Eh?"

"What?"

"The boy has finally activated the suit...he is now flying..."

"My fellow brethren...is it really wise to let a mere boy use that suit? What if he ended up getting corrupted and..."

"Fear not, Cherubi...we have seen it...that boy has a pure heart..."

"And the moment he began using it for selfish gains..then we will confiscate it...so have faith in him..."

"Very well..."

Ophani then opens the opens the computer monitor to see what Naegi is doing, and as the footage becomes apparent, Cherubi is dumbstruck to see what came out though Seraphi watches on the footage in curiosity.

To Be Continued…

Hope you like this chapter even though it only showed the Naegi siblings, and it mostly showed what Naegi is doing with the "red suit", and a comic relief is added with Komaru taking pictures and video of him in the pretense of "doing a superhero manga", and on how her elder brother should "act" while wearing the suit, but in the end she is surprised to see the end result of it.

While this chapter ended in a cliffhanger, the next chapter will show you the results, and that's where the story sets in and what adventures would befall Naegi and how this would affect the "Luckster" in the days to come.

Preview:

The next chapter will show you what happened to Naegi while testing out the red suit, which would result in a lot of hilarious moments, while at the same time it will show some cameo from characters from various Danganronpa characters.
