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 a new story arc commences, in which Naegi would go overseas in a foreign "adventure", and he won't be going alone...he'll be bringing someone with him, but first a Danganronpa 2 character will be stealing the spotlight...you'll soon see why, so read on and enjoy!
At an unidentified area somewhere within a European country, the scene zoomed and showed that it is a mountain-like area where it showed the the place appeared to be a monastery, where several druids are going in and out of the mountain entrance/exit-like passage, and soon a truck arrived where several druids emerged, and with them are several women, who appeared to be prostitutes, and are taking the women inside the mountain, and the scene zoomed inside where the women are being escorted to various areas, and they appeared oblivious to the fact that the druids are not what they appeared to be.
At the center, is a man, in his 50's and he watches the scene before him, and he appeared to be the head of the druids, watching the women escorted to various rooms, unmindful of what will happen to the women and continues to oversee his druids' activities before the scene slowly faded

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. 43: Perū de no Mitsuryō
Days later...
At an unidentified hotel, the scene shifts to a room where it slowly zoomed towards a bed where a pair of clothes are laid there, which were a long dark green coat and has a jagged-cut tail. The coat has red squares on its right shoulder, and a large red number '55' on the back. Then there's a plain white shirt with a strange red symbol on it. Next is a pants which is a typical black jeans, and has a long chain that attached from the back to the front of them with a small skull charm attached to it. Finally the scene shifts to the floor where it showed a pair of brown shoes which has two zippers.
The scene shifts towards a wall where a boy is standing in front of the mirror, and though his face wasn't shown it did showed some description such as he has messy shoulder-length white hair and light grey-green eyes. Both his hair color and sickly pale complexion are presumed to be caused by an unspecified disease. His hair lacks the highlights most other characters have and appears whiter the closer it is to his scalp. The hair color is described to resemble that of a corpse's.
Then the scene showed his body, where it is revealed that he is wearing the suit that Barusu Waino discarded, and though the suit is somewhat identical to that of the red suit that Makoto Naegi is using, the color is different, as the suit and boots are dark white, while his belt and cape are dark green, as as the boy is staring at the mirror, a holographic image is shown, in which it showed Naegi in action wearing the red suit, thus showing that unlike the red suit, the suit's power can be accessed by anyone, and this boy, who is wearing the suit, can access several of the suit's power, and surprisingly, the boy seemingly know Naegi as he laughed maniacally at the discovery of the suit's powers.
"Poor Naegi...LUCK has not been good to you, has it...? Too bad this instruction book you lost came in handy for me..."
At the bed it shows that the instruction book that Naegi lost several months ago is there, and then it showed a huge paper, which revealed to be an Itenerary of Peru, which suggested that the person is in Peru, and is planning to do something BIG while here at this south American country.

Hope's Peak Academy.
The scene shifts inside the classroom where the class of 78 are having a recess break and there the atmosphere shows that the class is having a good time, and is very peaceful. Over a month has passed since the Barusu Waino case, Naegi felt peace within himself, as he is enjoying an ordinary life, and not doing any activities involving the RED SUIT, until a random thought hit him as he recalled what Kirigiri told him about the suit that Waino used 50 years ago, in which it was dug up by someone, and ended up being sold to a costume store and someone bought it. Kirigiri tried to find out who bought it but is unsuccessful at this point and he is worried, and there Kirigiri came and talked to him, her deduction tells her that he is still worried about who would use the suit knowing that it would grant the person powers similar to Naegi's red suit.
"Are you still worried?"
"..."
"About the suit that Burusu Waino discarded 50 years ago...?"
"...yeah..."
"I know its troubling...but there's not much we can do at this point..."
"but..."
"For now...let's wait and see...if there is news about something extraordinary...then that's where we will make our move...right now let's enjoy the peace we have at the moment..."
"O-Okay..."
As Kirigiri tries to get Naegi to be optimistic by saying that the suit that went missing may work only on Waino, Naegi is still unsure as the suit that was given to him was what they believe to be a "prototype" model and it was 50 years old, and both came to a conclusion that it may be from the same alien that approached Naegi a few months ago, and Kirigiri suggested that their only hope of getting a clue is for the UFO to show up and try to establish contact with them, something that Naegi wondered if it is possible.
By then Maizono came and told Naegi not to worry about such things, and he should focus what's coming in front of him, reminding that summer vacation is due next week, and he should feel optimistic about it, something that Kirigiri noted seeing that worrying about the missing suit would accomplish nothing. This lighten up Naegi's mood and thanked Maizono, and there she told him that she and her idol band are heading to Croatia to do a musical tour and host a fashion show there in which the band could earn American dollars as bonus, and Naegi smiled as this would help her in her idol career.
"Really, Maizono-san?"
"Yup-yup!"
"That's great!"
"I can earn a lot...me and my idol band..."
"Yeah...and you get to do a live gig overseas!"
"Wish me luck, Naegi-kun!"
"Okay!"
"Thanks!"
By then the teacher came and classes has started so everyone went to their seats and focused on the subject at hand. Naegi hoped that things would go well and that the suit that Waino discarded wouldn't fall into the wrong hands and not function like the red suit he is using.

A week has passed and it is almost time for summer vacation, and the students are awaiting the final few days before summer vacation would be officially declared, and the scene shifts to Jin Kirigiri's office, where he is glancing at the list of students, and there his daughter came and noted that he had a rather serious look on his face and the two began talking, where a few certain students became the focal point of the matter.
"Dad..."
"Oh, Kyoko..."
"You looked serious...what's wrong?"
"Three students are absent for several months...and I can't get a reach on any of them..."
"...I see..."
"And what's more...they are not at their homes...and neither are their relatives could give any information on their whereabouts..."
"..."
"It's a shame...they had a promising career ahead of them..."
The students that Jin is referring to were Junko Enoshima, Mukuro Ikusaba, and Hajime Hinata, but then he pointed out to a certain student whom had had a bit of concern, and the student he referred to turns out to be Nagito Komaeda, and it is said that he hasn't been attending the academy for several weeks and with no relatives providing information on his current whereabouts, he had no way of reaching him, and said that if this went on, Nagito would get expelled, and so are Enoshima, Ikusaba and Hinata. Kirigiri stared at the monitor where the absent students are shown and wondered what made the students decide not to attend the academy.
Elsewhere, the scene shows that Naegi and Maizono are hanging out at the rooftop, spending time together and they are having a good time, and she is pleased to spend alone with Naegi seeing that Kirigiri isn't around, and yet the two are unaware that they were being watched by other academy students, as they suspect that there is something going on between the two.
"Did you know...?"
"What...?"
"Naegi and Maizono an item?"
"They're getting along well..."
"Maybe they're a couple..."
"No way!"
"Why Naegi?"
"I bet he wooed her and they're official..."
This soon caused a gossip within the academy and days later, Naegi would notice a lot of students whispering behind his back, unaware that they are secretly discussing if he and Maizono are a couple, and the Luckster himself is unaware that Maizono has feelings for him, and continued to head towards his classroom, where his classmates, save for Kirigiri and Maizono, are there and there each of them, save for Ohgami and Togami, began asking the Luckster if there is something going on between him and Maizono.
"Oi, Naegi!"
"Say, Naegi-chi...is it true...?"
"Is Maizono-san your girlfriend?"
"Is it true, Naegi-kun?"
"Hmm...I bet Naegi-dono is having a secret affair with Maizono-dono...what frightening skills..."
"Come on...let's not jump to conclusions...they're just rumors..."
"But what if it's true?"
"Really?"
Naegi blushed and said that he and Maizono are just friends and nothing else, though the others were bemused to see his flushed reaction, but then the teasing stopped when Maizono came, and Kirigiri followed and by then a teacher came and classes started, in which it was the last day of classes, and by the end of the day, summer vacation started and everyone went home to begin their vacation.
-x-
A few days later, Naegi went to the Tokyo International Airport to see off Maizono, as she and her idol band are leaving for Croatia to do a tour there and she is happy to see him coming here to see her off, and she promised him that she would bring him some "goodies" once she comes home, and bid goodbye to Naegi, which he did the same. Maizono's fellow idol then whispered to Naegi and insinuating that she has feelings for him and Naegi having the same feeling, in which he tries to deny, much to their amusement.
"Hey, Naegi..."
"You know..."
"Huh?"
"Sayaka really likes you..."
"EH?"
"Go tell her your feelings..."
"I'm sure she'll accept you as her boyfriend..."
"Yeah, tell her, Naegi..."
After that, the idol band leaves the airport, and soon boarded a plane which leaves for Croatia, and Naegi leaves the airport and heads back home to enjoy his summer vacation, and thankfully, Kirigiri did not call him, which means that he won't be using the red suit in the duration of the summer vacation, and hoped that it would stay that way.
-x-
Several hours later, the scene shifts to a jungle within an unidentified area within the south American country, where it shows that the person who was seen at the hotel turn out to be none other than Nagito Komaeda, and he is wearing the suit similar to the red suit that Naegi is wearing, and now he is holding a cellphone where he is talking to someone, and there Nagito is told on what to do at the jungle and he seemingly obliges.
"So you're there, Mr. Komaeda?"
"Yes..."
"Did you get the info I told you?"
"Yeah..."
"The item is somewhere at a village full of tribesmen...they have no knowledge about the modern society...they all act like old-age cavemen from the jungles..."
"Really...? Then it's a piece of cake...I can handle them..."
"Okay...just make sure you bring the item with you when you return..."
"No problem...LUCK will sort it out..."
Nagito then began venturing at the jungle, walking around and is looking at both directions as he did not seem to mind the dangers of the forest and by then a large snake, an anaconda, came and is ready to attack Nagito, but because he is wearing the suit, he showed that he seemingly mastered the suit's powers, grabbing the snake and tossed it around before throwing it away, and Nagito smirked as he is rather impressed with the suit's capabilities.
Then another huge anaconda showed up and wrapped itself around Nagito, squeezing its prey to death, but Nagito smirked and flexed his arms and the huge anaconda was thrown back, its body suffered fractures due to the sudden pressure it got and is writhing in pain as Nagito passed by it and stomped the snake on the head hard, and it was dead, and Nagito continued to walk forward towards his destination, looking forward to see what comes ahead.
"Not bad..."
As he ventured further within the jungle, he slowly came across a tribe where a group of tribal Incan warriors are assembled in front of a huge head-like statue, seemingly worshiping the object as if were their god. Nagito then glanced at the statue, where the suit's x-ray powers are activated, and there he discovered what appeared to be an ancient sword hidden inside, and it is revealed that this is what Nagito is tasked to do after talking to someone at the phone.
"Looks like I found it..."
Nagito then went towards the area, and this alerted the Incan tribesmen and they began arming themselves with their wooden spears and shields and began attacking Nagito, but to their surprises, the wooden spears were shattered upon impact, and Nagito tossed them aside and even threw them away, injuring them in the process, and there he approached the statue and punched it, showing the suit's super strength, and the statue crumbled, revealing the antique sword, But the tribesmen were unwilling to let someone mock them and more of them showed up, and there Nagito began showcasing more of the suit's powers:
- A super breath, which sends some of the tribesmen blown away far;
- Heat vision, in which he sets some of the tribesmen on fire, killing them;
- A power punch, which sends them thrown back and some were killed and others injured;
After that Nagito went to the broken statue he took the sword nonchalantly and grinned at the tribesmen before jumping in the air and flew away, leaving the tribesmen in a state of shock, and they slowly kneel to the ground thinking he was an agent of their god.
Not far, a person wearing a druid outfit saw the scene and he took out the cellphone to report to someone what he just saw.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked the opening chapter of this story arc, and while the story hasn't jumped-started yet, it did show what's in store for Naegi...Nagito Komaeda...and it turns out that he is the one who took the super suit that Burusu Waino discarded, and it looks like we got ourselves a super villain aside from the DR villains that were shown previously, so expect more from Nagito once he gets more screen time in the upcoming chapters.
Preview:
