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 the story arc intensifies as a certain classmate joins the fray and there the three Super Duper High School students band together to try and figure out what and who are thy facing against, so read on and enjoy!
At outer space, the scene shifts to the spacecraft where it hovered over Earth's solar system, arriving to its current position after making a brief visit at Japan, and briefly debriefed Naegi and Kirigiri of the current crisis, hoping that the two teens would make it in time knowing that a lot is at stake and they are pinning their hopes on Naegi himself, though the scene shifts inside the spacecraft where you can see Ophani and Cherubi are arguing over what Cherubi did to Naegi, which she sees it as unacceptable on how he treated the boy, though Cherubi maintained that he did this to make Naegi realize what's more important, and stood by his actions which she did not find it acceptable.
"Cherubi! Why did you have to do that?"
"Because I have to!"
"There may be a reason why Naegi wanted to go after us..."
"That boy should know what to prioritize first than chasing after us..."
"Perhaps he wanted to ask us for more information..."
"We already gave him more than enough...he must do as he should be doing if he wanted to save his planet..."
"But using a beam to send him crashing to the ground like that..."
"Stop spoiling that earth boy, Ophani...he would graduallt take advantage of us...!"
By then Seraphi stepped in and quells off the tension, urging the two to calm down and not get riled up over the incident and told Ophani to continue monitoring the events while telling Cherubi not to do that kind of act again and try not to get irritated over Naegi's seemingly clumsiness since he knows that Naegi is still in the process of adjusting to the red suit's power, and Cherubi grudgingly obliges as he and Ophani resumed monitoring the Earth, specifically at Kagoshima.
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. 41: Keikaku
Moments later, the scene shifts at Tokyo, where Chihiro Fujisaki is currently on the run, as the Super Duper High School Programmer is moving from the place to another as soldiers are roaming the streets in search for their target and Chihiro is forced to use a wig and other clothes to fool the pursuing soldiers and so far Chihiro managed to get ahead of them and found a cheap motel to spend the night and after getting a room, Chihiro stayed there and began thinking if what to do next and who to contact for help in order to save Taichi.
"Dad..."
-x-
Elsewhere, the scene shifts to the road which serves as the exit border of Mt. Bandai and here you can see Kirigiri driving the car and is keeping her eye on the road, while Naegi is sitting at the front passenger seat, looking at the side of the road and is in deep thought, recalling what happened earlier and is quite dismayed that he was unable to get some information and getting a replacement for the instruction book that he lost. Kirigiri noticed his deafening silence and began talking to him thinking that Naegi is worried about the mission that the aliens assigned him to.
"Naegi-kun..."
"..."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah..."
"Some meeting we got..."
"..."
"I'm starting to have doubts about everything I've been through..."
"I think there's a reason for this, Naegi-kun..."
Kirigiri told Naegi about how and why he was pushed back by the aliens and why they had to put the burden of doing the things he is not normally good at and why is he doing things which he had no control over, but she told him there is a reason for this to happen and said that he is LUCKY to receive such a gift, and is able to use it to do good deeds, such as saving lives which included his sister and his classmates, foiling crimes and such, and reminded him of what he has and he should take it as a challenge. Naegi sighed as he resigned to fate and decided to accept the task that the aliens gave him.
As they traveled, she noticed that several military vans are traveling and felt that something is strange and told Naegi to be ready and both teens maintained their cool as they drive the road, and several minutes later (less than an hour to be exact), they arrived at the Tokyo border and there Naegi and Kirigiri noticed that there were a lot of soldiers roaming the streets and she sensed that something isn't right and he wondered why there are soldiers this late at night, while Kirigiri sees this as something suspicious as there are no cops patrolling at night.
"Kirigiri-san...what's going on...?"
"Be ready for anything..."
"?"
"Something's going on here...and this may have something to do about what the aliens told us..."
"..."
"Act normal and don't give yourself away..."
"Okay..."
"..."
Nevertheless the teens continued their travel and soon they arrived at Naegi's house and she told him to rest up and be ready for anything, and he nodded his head as he went inside his house to get some rest, and soon she left to head for her home. Inside his house, Naegi mentally whined as his parents were interrogating him on why he arrived home so late and he couldn't tell them he went to Mt. Bandai, so he used an alibi saying he accompanied Kirigiri to do some research and after a few minutes he was left off the hook and he went to his room, and there Komaru went to her brother's room and asks him what happened, and he reluctantly told her what happened, and she was astonished to hear that there were real aliens and that he is going to do a mission.
"No way...are you really serious, onii-chan?"
"Not so loud...yes...that's true, Komaru...there really is a UFO...and this is the second time I encounter it..."
"Wow...I wish I should've come with you..."
"It's better if you don't..."
"Aw..."
"Keep it a secret, okay?"
"Okay..."
"Good...thanks..."
Naegi then told Komaru to keep things a secret as he did not want to cause problems which she promised, and Komaru left the room and Naegi began taking the red suit off and changed into his pajamas, and seeing that t is 22:00, he decided to have a late-night dinner as he haven't eaten yet since he and Kirigiri left Hope's Peak Academy after classes and never had the chance to take out food at a fast food restaurant.
After eating, he went straight to his room to rest as he braces himself for tomorrow.
-x-
The next day, Naegi is in his room, and he is reluctantly putting on the red suit, then puts on his academy uniform before leaving his room, and when he arrived downstairs, he is surprised to see Kirigiri waiting for him at the living room and is being entertained by his mom, and Komaru whispered to her brother telling him that she arrived a few minutes ago, talking to Mrs. Naegi "explaining" to her why her son arrived late and things were cleared, and Naegi mentally sighed as he felt hat things might escalate without warning and there his mom talked to her son about what she and Kirigiri discussed about.
"Your friend told me that you and her did a late-night project of sorts..."
"Uh...yeah...that's right..."
"And I thought something happened to you..."
"..."
"Say..."
"Huh...?"
"Are you two dating...? You seemed to be spending time with her..."
"YOU'RE WRONG!"
Naegi blushed when his mom told him that she is under the impression that he is spending time with Kirigiri in a romantic way and he had to rebut in order not to escalate matters and he told Kirigiri that they are leaving and the two teens left the house, and as they boarded the car, he apologized to her for what his mom said, but she said that it is okay as Naegi's mom did not suspect anything and that is the important matter. Soon Kirigiri drives the car and she and Naegi are on their way to Hope's Peak Academy and try to use the computer lab to do some research.
-x-
A few minutes later, the scene shows that Naegi and Kirigiri are on the road and stopped at a traffic intersection, as the traffic light is red and Kirigiri stopped the car and waited for the green light to flash, as she is waiting, she noticed that a person wearing a coat and hat approached her and hopped inside the car, surprising Naegi and when Kirigiri asks the person why entered the car so suddenly, the person removed the hat, revealing to be Chihiro Fujisaki. Naegi was surprised and there Chihiro told the two teens of the current situation.
"Chihiro-san!"
"..."
"What are you...?"
"Sorry...but can I hang out with you for now...?"
"Eh? Why...?"
"I'm being followed...please move the car...I'll tell you why..."
"Kirigiri-san..."
"Okay...we're going..."
Both Kirigiri and Naegi were taken by surprise when told that she was being followed by soldiers and believed that there is some connection to her missing dad and told them that she received an SOS message from Taichi via an e-mail and begged Kirigiri and Naegi to help her, and both Kirigiri and Naegi glanced at each other, recalling what the aliens and the dead soldier they encountered at Mt. Bandai told them, and seeing hat hey might find a lead, they told Chihiro that they will help, and Chihiro is relieved to hear that she got help and hoped that they would be able to help her find Taichi.
"Really? You guys would help me...?"
"Yeah...we will..."
"Tell us what you know, Chihiro-san...and we might help you..."
"Thanks..."
"Okay...what should we do now?"
"We need to find a safe place to hide...then we need a WI-FI connection..."
"Sounds good..."
"I hope we'd be able to find my dad..."
"We will..."
As the traffic light turned green, Kirigiri stepped on the pedal and the car drives past the intersection, and the three teens are on their way to their next destination, unaware that they are being followed by an ordinary car which is being driven by a soldier who happened to spot Chihiro and saw through her disguise and picks up his radio, informing his superior of his current location and current actions, and there he was given instructions on what to do next.
"Follow them..."
"Okay..."
"Make sure you don't lose them..."
"Yes..."
"Find out where they are heading...and contact us..."
"Yes..."
"Don't let them notice you..."
"At once."
The car then stealthily followed the car where he three teens are in, intending to find out where the targets are going and once he finds out the three teens' location, the soldier will inform his superior about it and will await for further orders
