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 ended up in a cliffhanger after Naegi accidentally jumped off the window, and in this chapter you will get to see what has happen to Naegi after putting on the red suit and jumped out of the window, so expect a lot of comic moments to happen as soon as you read this chapter below, while various Danganronpa characters appear in some key parts of this chapter.
Minutes earlier, Kyoko Kirigiri had just left a place after solving a case which involved in exposing a gang who disguised themselves as workers who holed up in a vacant house and intend to dig a tunnel that would lead them to a pawnshop, and their noisy construction attracted Kirigiri's attention and after a quick assessment, she called the police while managing to trick the gang in to revealing themselves that led to their apprehension.
After that, Kirigiri is heading home as she has no idea that something is about to happen and that would lead her to a "chance meeting" with someone she'd never expect to meet.
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.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.
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. 4: Hatsu Hikō
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, he 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...nii-san is...really FLYING...?"

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. He is intrigued at what would Naegi do now that he has tried out the item, which was a red suit, and looked forward in seeing what will become of Naegi once he figures out how the suit works. And since seeing Naegi's "good deed" before being selected at Hope's Peak Academy, he is confident that Naegi will use the costume in benevolent ways and not for selfish reasons.

Back at Earth, the scene shows that Naegi is flying in the air, still wearing the costume and is hovering erratically as he is panicking at the sudden turn of events, and he is wondering how and why he ended up in this kind of situation. Getting embroiled at the jewel thief incident at the bus before getting a recommendation at Hope's Peak Academy is one thing, but this one is far from what he expected, and seeing that he is quite above from the ground, he is starting to hyperventilate from the experience, and yet he is forced to look straight ahead, and had to use sheer will power to overcome this fright and try to get a proper landing.
"WWWWWHHHHOOOAAAAA! GGGGYYYAAAHHH!"
Naegi had to use his arms and hands as a "steering wheel" to navigate himself as he tried to avoid hitting several house roofs street posts, yet he suffered "bad luck" as he accidentally wrecked several TV antennas in the process, and he had no idea he has been flying over 10 blocks from his house and he started to suspect that this is due to the red suit he is wearing, and partially regretted putting it on, as he wished he wasn't in this kind of situation he is in right now, and started to pray that he wouldn't end up as a falling corpse.
After some three minutes he has reached a suburban subdivision and he is far from his home, and LUCKILY no one has noticed him, which is a good thing, yet soon some people would hear Naegi's screaming but by the time they looked, he is already gone due to him flying a bit fast, and assumed that it was just some "screaming kids" passing by and they would resumed their daily chores as if nothing happened.

At a dojo, Kenichiro is sitting, with Sakura Ohgami and Aoi Asahina also sitting in front of him and he is teaching the two girls the art of meditating, in which Ohgami learned well while Asahina is trying to get the hang of it, until she is startled by the screams of Naegi, slowly breaking off her concentration, in which Kenichiro friendly reprimanded her for not paying attention though she would tell him why.
"Huh? What's that screaming...?"
"Miss Asahina..."
"Yes...?"
"Please pay attention..."
"Sorry...I thought I heard..."
"Do not let anything distract you..."
"S-sorry..."
"Now...let us resume..."
As Kenichiro and Ohgami resumed meditating, Asahina was about to follow suit, but then saw Naegi flying past them, and though she failed to see his face, the sight of a "flying boy" caught her by surprise, and she panicked at the fact, in which she shrieked and there Ohgami asks what is wrong and she told her what she saw while pointing outside, though Ohgami did not see anything despite Asahina's insistence.
"Asahina...I do not see anything..."
"But I saw it! It flew past us!"
"I think you are seeing things..."
"I AM NOT!"
"Calm yourself, Asahina and..."
"But...but..."
"Relax..."
"...shall we resume, ladies...?"

At an intersection, Byakuya Togami was inside his limousine awaiting his driver who went to a public toilet, and as he is wondering what kept his driver long, he heard the sounds of Naegi's screaming and is annoyed at the "degenerative disturbance" of mere insignificant youths, and is about to call his driver via cellphone when he saw Naegi flying in the sky, passing by him and though he failed to see his face, he is rather shocked at seeing someone flying in a red suit and cape, and tried to comprehend what he just saw until his driver came back and noticed Togami's shock.
"Master Byakuya...sorry for the wait...huh?"
"..."
"Sir...is there something wrong?"
"Did...did you see that?"
"Huh?"
"See what?"
"A flying...never mind...just drive me home..."
"Yes, sir..."
Togami thinks he is having a stressful day and ordered his driver to take him home as he wanted to take a rest and hoped that he is just seeing things, as he refused to believe that he had actually seen someone flying, and the limousine drives away, and Togami asks his driver why he had taken so long to use a public bathroom in whioch the driver said it is due to the long queue as there were many men using it, and soon the scene shifts away from the limousine.

Somewhere else, the Crazy Diamond Gang were having a meeting, with the gang are happy to see Mondo Owada showing up and is pleased that his second-in-command, Takemichi Yukimaru is keeping the biker gang in check and out of trouble, and there the biker gang asked him how he is doing at Hope's Peak Academy and there Ohwada explained that he had made new friends and being a student there is not so bad, in which he said that he will be sporadically be away from the biker gang's activity for at least three years, and assured to them that once he graduated, he will return to the gang full time.
"...and that's that..."
"Oh, looks like you couldn't participate in our activities..."
"Only temporarily...of course I'll show up once in a while..."
"We'll be fine, boss...I'll keep the gang together until you come back full time..."
"Yeah...Yukimaru is a good stand-in as temporary boss..."
"Oi, Yukimaru...don't let me down..."
"I won't!"
"Good..."
By then the gang heard a loud screaming until they saw Naegi flying past them and yet they failed to see his face, but seeing him flying out of the blue was unexpected, and unacceptable to them, and even Ohwada was shocked to see this and the gang suggested that they follow the flying Naegi, and the gang boarded their motorcycles and began chasing their target, wanting to find out who it is and how he is able to fly so fast, having seen him wearing a red suit, a white belt and a cape.
"Oi...did you...see that...?"
"A UFO!"
"Seriously?"
"Let's go after it!"
"Yeah...this is a good scoop!"
"Oi...follow me! And see what it looked like!"
"We're in!"
"Yee-hah! A real alien!"
"Can it! We don't know if it's an alien or not!"
-x-
Meanwhile, Naegi is trying to find a way to lower himself to the ground without getting himself hurt, panicking further at the thought of getting hit by any speeding vehicle and did not wish to die so young, and as he is using his arms to navigate himself, he managed to lower himself to a degree but is still quite high from the ground, but as he looked straight, he realized that he is heading straight towards a dead-end wall, and he tried to avoid it to no avail as he crashed straight towards the wall face-first and then fell in to a garbage bin, and the impact causes the cover to shut, hitting his head and he fell inside the bin as the cover closes, and by then the Crazy Diamond Gang arrived, thinking that he is not here though Ohwada was sure he heard Naegi screaming at the vicinity.
"Oi..."
"A dead end..."
"He's gone..."
"Who was that?"
"How did he fly?"
"I think it's a UFO..."
"Moron! He looked human...and he's wearing some Superman-like costume...Let's keep looking!"
"I wonder how he do that..."
After a minute the Crazy Diamond Gang decided to leave the area, and a minute later Naegi emerged, and thankfully he wasn't hurt and the bin was empty, thus no scent of garbage covered him and he wobbled away from the dead end alley, and he wondered how to get back home seeing he is only wearing the red suit and has no money to get a ride, slowly assuming that this situation he is in is due to bad luck.
"This is really a bad day for me...why did I ended up here...damn this suit...it seemed to have doubled my bad luck...!"
But his situation got worse as an ambulance came passing by, and seeing Naegi emerging from the garbage bin, and wearing a a costume, they assumed that the teen is a "nutcase in cosplay" and approached him, and there Naegi thinks he could get help and asks him if they could give him a ride home explaining that he "flew here by accident", in which the paramedics assumed that he is a "psychiatric case" and they puts on the strait jacket and loaded him inside the ambulance and proceeded to head towards the nearest mental hospital.
"Okay..."
"Put this on..."
"Wait!"
"Easy...we won't hurt you..."
"But I'm not a psychopath!"
"Nice costume...you'll surely scare kids instead of attracting them...and it's not even Halloween..."
"But I came here by accident...I flew and..."
"Yeah, right...and I'm Doraemon...and you're Nobita..."
"Let's go..."
"WWAAAHHH! IT'S A MISUNDERSTANDING! I'M NOT A NUT CASE!"
However, the scene was witnessed by Kyoko Kirigiri, who saw Naegi flying before landing bad and being dragged away inside the ambulance, and seeing his face, Kirigiri wondered how and why Naegi managed to do such feat, and seeing that he is presumed to be a nutcase, she decided to follow the ambulance and see if she could get Naegi out so she can get some answers from him and explain why he did such questionable feats.
To Be Continued…
Hope you like this chapter as Naegi finally shows what the "red suit" does, and this resulted in some hilarious situations which eventually LANDED him in a heap of trouble as he gets carried away by paramedics, though it did shows some of the Danganronpa casts, who failed to see Naegi's face when he passed by them.
Kirigiri is the only one who saw him and now she is pondering on whether to bail him out or not, given that she is curious to get some answers from him.
Preview:
The next chapter will show you the situation Naegi is in as he is ADMITTED to a PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, and Kirigiri attempts to bail him out, where hilarity ensues as Naegi is forced to rely on the red suits' power to get himself and Kirigiri out of the mess they are in.
