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 and here things pick up where the last chapter left off, and the three aliens will play a role here as they are going to do something to help in this situation and save the Earth, and this means another chance encounter with Makoto Naegi, so read on and enjoy!.

Japan Special Defense Forces Base.

The scene shows that the place is somewhat a peaceful place has become somewhat noisy, and is full of tension, as every soldier and computer technicians are scrambling to try and stop the computerized timer from ticking down as the timer shows that it is 23:15 before the missiles are set to be launched and are programmed to strike at the following targets which the Japanese military feared it would cause a global backlash and subjected to reprisals from the following countries that the missiles are set to strike. The countries being targeted are:

- North Korea

- China

- Iran

- Russia

The Minister of Defense remained at the base to personally oversee the situation and is instructed by the Prime Minister to try and avert the potential disaster that might happen if the missiles were to launch and said that he'll try to inform the emperor in a manner that would not cause him to worry and there the Minister of Defense began to check on the technicians on how things are progressing, hoping that there would be at least some good news on how to avert such a potential disaster.

"How are things here?"

"Nothing much..."

"We still couldn't figure out why the timer reset by itself..."

"We need more time, sir..."

"We haven't found the cause of the problem yet..."

"For now I think there won't be another attempt to override the timer or the launching sequence..."

"That's all about it for now..."

"..."

Seeing that things haven't changed for now, he told the technician to try and override the computer program in order to regain control and shut down the launching sequence, and there he sees the clock where the missile launching sequence is ticking down with only 22:45 left, and the Minister of Defense is praying for a miracle that would save Japan from possible destruction and hoped that they get the miracle they needed to prevent another tragedy from happening like what happened at Fukushima, and what happened since World War II.

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. 40: Gaikoku Hito Kara no Rikuesuto

At the secret base at Kagoshima, Taichi is secretly trying to contact Chihiro, with little success, knowing that there isn't much time and is praying for a breakthrough when a soldier came and Taichi is caught by surprise, fearing that he is caught sending a distress message, and Chiaki is also praying for a miracle, but the soldier did not bother exposing Taichi or Chiaki and instead offered to help the two escape the secret base as he did not like what the unseen captor is intending to cause a massive massacre like what happened at Fukushima a few days ago, and both Taichi and Chiaki started to see a ray of hope in saving Japan from potential destruction.

"You...you're going to help us...?"

"Yes...I'll try to get you two out of here..."

"Thank you..."

"Come on...while no one is looking..."

"Okay...Chiaki...let's go..."

"I'm right behind you, Mr. Fujisaki..."

"Follow me...and try to stay quiet..."

"Okay..."

The sympathetic soldier then helps sneak Taichi and Chiaki out of the room and leads them at the hallway towards the exit, but halfway through several soldiers appeared and the unidentified captor appeared, having been aware that a traitor is in his midst and voiced his disappointment that someone is trying to undermine his grand plan of instigating a potential World War III. He offered the soldier a chance to win back his trust by ordering him to escort Taichi and Chiaki back to the computer room, but the soldier turned it down and opened fire, however he is outnumbered and is gunned down to death and both Taichi ans Chiaki are recaptured and sent back to the computer room to do the task while the dead soldier is sent out of the base and placed at a far away vacant lot where the other soldiers pour gasoline and set his body ablaze. As they left, a strange light from the sky struck the burning body, which caused it to disappear and when the other soldiers came to bury it, they are dumbfounded that the body vanished.

Several hours later, the scene shifts at the parking lot of Hope's Peak Academy, where Kirigiri arrived with Naegi in tow as they are heading for Mt. Bandai, and Naegi wondered why the aliens wanted to meet up with them and for the first time Kirigiri finds herself rather intrigued and wondered if the aliens summoning her and Naegi has something to do with the incident at Fukushima though Naegi slowly figured that if he do meet with the aliens he might as well ask why they gave him the red suit in the first place and why they chose him of all people.

"..."

"So, Naegi-kun..."

"..."

"Are you sure you won't back out on this one?"

"Nope."

"Really..."

"I suppose...if I do meet with those aliens...I want to ask them a few important questions..."

"I see..."

By then Naegi wondered why he and Kirigiri are walking towards the parking lot and there she told him that they are heading to Mt. Bandai by car and there she revealed that she gained a student driver's license and that she borrowed her grandfather's car and Naegi is quite surprised to see this though he asks her if she can really drive which she assured to him that she knows how to drive and motions Naegi to hop in which he did, and a minute later the car leaves the parking lot and is leaving Tokyo, and there Maizono saw them leave and this caused her to become suspicious towards the two teens.

"What the...? Why is Naegi-kun riding in a car with Kirigiri-san...? Kirigiri-san...are you trying to take Naegi-kun all to yourself...?"

-x-

At outer space, the scene shifts to the UFO, and there Ophani saw through the monitor that Naegi and Kirigiri are on their way to Mt. Bandai and informed Seraphi about the developments, while Cherubi is monitoring the events at Kagoshima and so far things looked stable for the time being though he knew that the culprits are waiting for the missiles to be launched once the timer ran out yet he questions on why Seraphi would go through the trouble to summon Naegi at Mt. Bandai just to relay an emergency message yet Ophani is quick to defend Seraphi's decision.

"Hush, Cherubi...do not question Seraphi's intentions...he knows what he is doing...and I'm sure he is doing the right thing..."

"I'm not sure if this is right...why go the trouble to summon that boy here just to relay a message when you can simply tell him to head for the place and..."

"Seraphi trust Makoto Naegi...he knows that the boy has what it takes to save Earth from destruction..."

"How much are you going to vouch for that boy?"

"As much as I can!"

"Well I do not! I see him as a nuisance!"

"Cherubi!"

"Are you saying that..."

By then Seraphi arrived and urged his two comrades to calm down and told Cherubi to have faith in his decision stating that this is the only way to save the Earth from potential destruction and that he has faith in Makoto Naegi and he is sure that Naegi would not turn down the chance to save his planet and that the teen would eventually come to accept the responsibility that is bestowed upon him, and Cherubi reluctantly accepted Seraphi's decision and chose to do as he is told for now, seeing that there is no point in arguing.

-x-

Back at Tokyo, the time now is 19:00, and Chihiro is at home, toggling the laptop and is awaiting for any message coming from Taichi, and Chihiro is worried that Taichi hasn't sent a message since lunch and wondered what has happened to him and patiently waited until a text message appeared, where a short message showed that he is at Kagoshima and is being held prisoner while a list of names of a few military and political names have been shown, revealing that the names of the individuals are behind the missile attack and told Chihiro to get help.

"No way...!"

Chihiro is shocked upon reading the message and realized that Taichi is in trouble and now Chihiro needed to get help in conducting a rescue attempt and thought carefully, realizing that the individuals that Taichi mentioned may have contacts and can be used to shut anyone up, until Chihiro thought of someone that might provide help and is about to call someone on the phone when Chihiro noticed that a van just parked, and by instinct Chihiro went to the bedroom and hid under a bed, where minutes later, military soldiers came inside and is looking for someone, and after five minutes of searching, the soldiers assembled at the living room, seeing that they failed to find their target.

"Target not found..."

"We searched the whole house..."

"No sign of Chihiro Fujisaki..."

"The target may have moved out..."

"What shall we do...?"

"Let's contact the commander first...then we make our move."

"Okay..."

"Yes sir..."

The lead soldier used a cellphone and contacted someone, informing him that tbey failed to find Chihiro and the caller told the soldiers to search the whole neighborhood and find the target no matter what, and the soldiers left the Fujisaki residence and Chihiro waited for five more minutes before coming out, and Chihiro felt that something has to be done and leaves the house to evade the pursuing soldiers.

-x-

Elsewhere, the time now is 20:00, and the scene shows that Naegi and Kirigiri are at a highway within Mt. Bandai, and Naegi wondered what awaits them should the aliens appear themselves and is looking at the car radio which she said that the message came from there and the two teens began talking about what is in store for them and wondered what the aliens would look like as this would be their first time meeting them and Kirigiri herself is bracing for whatever is about to happen should she and Naegi finally get to meet with them.

"Be ready, Naegi-kun...this may be the first time we would meet the aliens in person..."

"...yeah..."

"They seemed to be at our solar system...since they wanted to meet us here for a reason..."

"...I guess..."

"And maybe we should ask them why they gave you the red suit in the first place..."

"You're right...and maybe i should ask if they have another instruction book...I lost mine months ago..."

"..."

"Huh...?"

By then the two teens seemingly caught a glimpse of the dead soldier from Kagoshima, doing a hitch a ride gesture and Naegi was spooked as hell and told Kirigiri about it though she remained calm and maintain control of the driving, and 20 seconds later, the same dead soldier appeared at the side of the road doing another hitch a ride gesture and Naegi is starting to panic and Kirigiri is slowly taken aback at what she just saw, seeing that the soldier is already a burnt corpse yet he is still moving and tries to tell Naegi to calm down.

"A...d-dead b-body..."

"Calm down, Naegi-kun..."

"How can I calm down...?"

"Just focus...maybe we are just seeing things...twice!"

"Don't freak me out...or we might end up crashing the car..."

"I'm the one getting freaked out...!"

"Calm down, Naegi..."

"WHOA!"

However, the two teens were taken by surprise as the corpse appeared in the middle of the road, prompting her to hit the brakes and the car stopped just as Naegi is getting spooked until the corpse collapses and the car radio began to produce static sounds and there Ophani spoke and told the two teens of their upcoming task, as well as providing them the place where Taichi Fujisaki is being held and where the culprits can be found. Naegi and Kirigiri were surprised when the name Fujisaki is mentioned and they deduced that Taichi is related to Chihiro, and there the two teens are figuring out how Kagoshima Prefecture is connected to the missile attacks until the corpse stood up and spoke, telling them the intentions of the corrupted individuals involved and told the two teens that they have less than 22:00 left before the missiles are set to be launched, and there the corpse went inanimate again and became a dead shell, falling to the ground and the UFO started to leave the scene.

However, Naegi decided to do something and gets off the car, removing his clothes and revealed that he is wearing the red suit, and Kirigiri is rather surprised to see her classmate's actions and asks him what is he intending to do at this point.

"Naegi...?"

"..."

"What are you...?"

"I'm going after them!"

"What? Why?"

"We need more information!"

"Wait..."

"I can't wait...I'm taking this chance to see them with my own eyes!"

Naegi reasoned that he needed to get more information, and that he believes that the UFO may have a spare instruction book so that he could unlock the suit's other powers, and after that, Naegi jumped high and began to fly upward, going after the spacecraft and find a way to get inside and talk to the aliens, hoping that they can be reasoned with, and provide him with added info on why they want him and Kirigiri to stop someone from launching another set of missiles, and soon the three aliens saw Naegi flying after them, earning Cherubi's annoyance.

Pressing a button, a strange light emanated and a flash took place, and this caused Naegi to fly downward instead of upward, and Naegi landed on the ground, hard. Ophani saw this and questioned Cherubi for his actions but he justified his actions which Seraphi steps in to quell the tension between his two fellow aliens.

"Cherubi!"

"What now?"

"What did you just do?"

"Sending him back...he has a task to do..."

"But why did you have to..."

"That boy is really reckless...and stupid...we told him his planet is at stake and yet he is chasing after us...he has better things to prioritize than going after us..."

"Still you should've..."

"Don't try spoiling that boy...you should know better..."

"That's not the point...!"

The spacecraft zoomed away and us out of sight, and Naegi gets up, slightly dazed at the impact and Kirigiri checked on him, seeing that he is not hurt, and when he asks her what just happened, she answered his question and motions him to get in the car, seeing that there is nothing much they can do at this point except move on from this encounter.

"Ow..."

"Are you okay, Naegi-kun...?"

"Yeah..."

"Are you sure...?"

"What just happened...?"

"They send you back here..."

"Why...?"

"I think they did not want to be followed..."

To Be Continued...

Hope you like this chapter, as tension filled here and suspense is building up, in which the aliens appeared indirectly and told the two teens what is at stake here, but as Naegi tries to go after the UFO, he wasn sent back, and this shows that the aliens are not to be messed around with...

Chihiro narrowly escapes and is now being hunted...
