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 current story arc picks up where the last chapter left, where Nagito would appear again and does something you wouldn't expect him to do, and that's where the trouble arises, where Naegi would soon get involved, so read on and enjoy!

A few days later...

At an unidentified area somewhere within a European country, the scene zoomed and showed that it is a mountain-like area where it showed that 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.

By then a druid came to him and whispered something to the man, and the man, who is apparently the leader, called his right-hand man and told him that there would be an emergency meeting which the other man asked if this has something to "the objects" that they seek.

"Oh, great one..."

"What is it?"

"We are having an emergency meeting soon..."

"Is the meeting about the "one" we seek?"

"Yes, oh great one..."

"Very well...I will join you shortly..."

"As you command..."

"Good..."

The leader of the druids then leaves as he prepared themselves for the meeting and his right-hand man followed, as the activities of the other druids continued.

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. 44: Ōkushon to Rachi

Elsewhere...

At an unidentified hotel, which is soon revealed that he is in another foreign country, the scene shifts to a room where it slowly zoomed towards a bed where it shows that the sword that Nagito took from the Incan tribe is there, and the scene zoomed towards Nagito himself, where he is seen talking to someone on the cellphone where he appeared to be making a sort of deal to the caller, and the two appeared to be on the verge of making an agreement which would soon be closed, and both appeared to be in good terms and are ironing out a schedule on where and when to meet with each other.

"You do have the item, Mr. Komaeda..."

"Yes, I have..."

"Then we proceed with the next phase..."

"So we meet soon...?"

"Of course...and please bring the item with you, Mr. Komaeda..."

"Of course I will..."

"Then we have a deal..."

"Sure..."

After that, Nagito turns off the phone indicating that the discussion has ended and now he sat on the bed, recalling the events at Peru and is rather pleased with the results of his actions, and is wondering what he should do next once his business here is concluded, and he wondered what events would unfold should he meet up with Naegi and what Naegi's reaction would be if he sees him wearing a variant of the alien suit he acquired through mysterious means.

-x-

Back at Japan, the scene shows that Naegi and his sister are walking by the park, as they are starting to enjoy their summer vacation, and Naegi is glad that so far Kirigiri hasn't called him to accompany her to a case as he felt that the summer vacation would help him unwind and hoped that he won't be doing any "super hero stuff", and Komaru noticed her elder brother having a beamed expression and started to tease him about enjoying the summer vacation without bringing the red suit with him.

"You looked happy..."

"Yes..."

"I can guess you're looking forward to a peaceful summer vacation..."

"Yeah..."

"Though I can predict that you're going to put on that red suit soon..."

"I rather not..."

"Come on...it'll be good for my manga's image..."

"Please, Komaru...don't rub it on me..."

By then they came across Yasuhiro Hagakure, who set up a tent and is doing fortune telling, in which he saw the siblings and greeted them, and there he told Naegi that he is earning money by doing fortune telling for a fee, and seeing his friend, he decided to read a fortune to Naegi free of charge, in which Komaru wanted to hear it even though Naegi has no interest in the fortune reading. But Komaru gave Hagakure some money to see what fortune he could read for her and for Naegi, and Hagakure went to action as he held the crystal ball and told them what he "sees", much to Naegi's chagrin.

"I predict...you're going overseas soon..."

"Eh...?"

"A stressful..but important vacation..."

"..."

"You'll be going to a lot of foreign places..."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah...that's what my crystal ball says..."

"Dream on!"

"Really..."

Naegi couldn't believe that Hagakure's prediction that Komaru's manga would be a top seller and would earn rivals, while the other prediction says that Naegi would go overseas soon, but since there is no mention about him donning the red suit, he decided that this would be fine and let it slide, and by then Byakuya Togami passed by and saw the trio, though he seemed uninterested at seeing Komaru even though her name slowly became prominent in the media due to her manga and the sightings of cosplayers imitating Captain Gonzo.

There Hagakure stared at Togami and did a free fortune telling and told the Super Duper Scion his prediction, much to Togami's exasperation.

"Togami-chi..."

"What?"

"You're going to have a stressful vacation..."

"Say what?"

"And you'll encounter some annoying things while at it..."

"Who asked you? And I don't recall asking you to read my..."

"And it'll happen soon..."

"SHUT UP!"

Togami finds it absurd that Hagakure's prediction stating that the Scion is going to have a stressful summer vacation and that he will encounter "unbelievable events" from time to time, and as Togami is about to argue with Hagakure, his attention was caught when he saw what appeared to be a "flying guy" which Togami started to have a "panic attack" believing that the flying guy he saw a few weeks ago is the one and the same, only to find out that it was simply a kite which was modeled after Captain Gonzo.

Komaru smiled while Naegi sighed seeing that her manga was so popular that it seemed to have spawned some merchandise and Togami asks Komaru if the manga character see created is based on the sightings he heard on TV.

"You!"

"Yes...?"

"This manga character you made...did you based it on that flying guy that rumors persist?"

"No..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes..."

"You're lying..."

"I'm not..."

The argument was halted when Togami saw several children running, and they were wearing an identical version of the red suit, and is eyes twitched seeing that the Captain Gonzo frenzy is getting on his nerves, and makes a hasty exit, not wanting to get stressed out and hoped that his stress would end once he arrived at his manor. But then a nutcase showed up and is wearing a red suit which was a poor imitation and began harassing Togami, much to the Scion's chagrin and annoyance.

"HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"What the...?"

"I'M THE SUPER GUY! I HAVE SUPER POWERS!"

"Another annoying fool..."

"HAVE AT YOU, FOUL VILLAIN!"

"Let go of my hair!"

"HAVE A DOSE OF MY SUPER BREATH! FUWOOOHHH..."

"GGGAAHH! BAD BREATH! UNHAND ME, YOU CRAZY COMMONER!"

Togami screamed in annoyance as he was being bullied by the nutcase and soon paramedics arrived and restrained the nutcase and you can see Togami berating the paramedics and blamed Komaru for his "stressful" day and Hagakure's fortune telling before walking away, and Komaru giggled seeing that things would be a great way to spend the summer vacation, while Naegi wondered how Maizono would do as she and her idol band are at overseas to do their gig at a foreign country.

Somewhere else, in which the place is revealed to be somewhere in a European country, the scene shifts to a huge building where an auction event is being held, Nagito is seen talking to someone and it is revealed that he is the person that Nagito talked and they plan to have the sword that Nagito took from Peru auctioned off and have it sold to the highest bidder, and the two are ironing out the price to see if there is anyone who can afford the price they intend to sell so that they can make money out of raising the price to a rather impossible amount in order to shortlist potential buyers.

"...so that's it?"

"Yes, Mr. Komaeda..."

"You sure are smart..."

"That's my job..."

"So let's get it on..."

"Of course...the people here are from rather wealthy individuals...of course they care about having money left in order not to get bankrupted..."

"Then the stage is set..."

"Of course..."

Several minutes later, the auction took place where the sword is being displayed and as numerous businessmen began to voice their claim to buy the sword, Nagito's representative in the auction began raising the price to a higher amount, though some showed willingness to match the price, the numbers slowly dwindled as he raised the price to 50 Million Euros, in which one by one the bidders slowly backed away, and Nagito smirked as luck is on his side as he sees that no one is brave enough to dare buy it, and he glanced at his representative and the representative nodded and said that he would raise the sword's price to 500,000 Euros, and the hall went silent as the bidders could no longer afford the price, until a European beauty, who is in her 20's raised her hand and said that she is willing to buy the sword.

"I'll buy it."

Nagito wondered if this is due to good luck or bad luck, but he is nevertheless fine with it, as he and his representative would benefit from this as someone is buying the sword and they would gain a huge commission out of this and his representative began approaching the beauty to arrange the price and the transaction.

-x-

A few days later...

"What was that...?"

"Yes, oh, great one...the "one" we seek has been sold..."

"How did that happen...?"

"It will be discussed later...informant said that he knows of a way to get it..."

"Very well...tell him that I will attend the meeting..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"As you wish..."

The leader of the druids then leaves as he prepared themselves for the meeting and his right-hand man followed, as the activities of the other druids continued. At a secret meeting hall, the leader, who is identified as the "Grand Wizard", is talking to his men as they discuss on what they should do, as the sword that was sold on the auction turns out to be the item that the cult has been seeking, and eventually they learned on where it is placed and who the new owner is, and though they intend to take it by force, they realized that they cannot afford to let their existence be revealed,, until one of the druids came to them and offered a solution, in which he revealed that his men just interrogate the auction representative, and although the person was drunk at that time, they were able to get the name of the person who brought the sword, and said that the auctioneer revealed the name to be Naegi.

A flashback scene is shown and it showed that the auctioneer was drunk at the time and the druids were pressing him to reveal the name, and the auctioneer was so drunk that he couldn't talk straight, and instead of naming Nagito, the auctioneer named Naegi by mistake before passing out, and the druids tried to wake him up but to no avail, though they did get a confirmation that their target is Japanese and the druids took their leave to report back to their superiors about what they learned from the drunk auctioneer.

Back at the present, the Grand Wizard is listening about that Naegi is believed to be the one who took the sword from Peru, and sold it in Croatia, through the auctioneer, and they are rather astounded as to how he managed to fend off some Incan tribe just to get it, and as he asks him men how to get the sword, he listened as they offered some suggestions on how to retrieve the sword without compromising themselves to the public, as they prefer to have their next activities done in secrecy.

"...and that's how this person...of Asian descent...got it...he beat up some Incan tribal warriors and took of the sword...which is part of the elusive Armour of God...and then sold it just recently at an auction..."

"What luck...so how do we get it back..."

"Our men said that they managed to get the name...although the man was drunk at that time...we managed to get his name...Naegi...we did a research and we found out his full name...Makoto Naegi...and he is from Japan..."

"so are we going ti hire this Makoto Naegi to get the sword for us...?"

"You fool...why don't you shut up and let him finish his report..."

"Calm yourself, Grand Wizard...he is right...we can hire this Makoto Naegi to get the sword for us...but we won't have to pay him..."

"Really...? And how would you do that?"

"It's like this..."

One of the druids, who is revealed to be a competent hacker, said that he searched the name Naegi, and found his full name and his location, and there he said that they can use him to get the sword for them, in which the other druid asks if they are going to hire him just to get it, but the Grand Wizard's voiced his opposition in question, saying that he wouldn't waste money just to get him to do the work for the cult, but the right-hand man said that there's no need to pay him as he said that he has found a way to hire Naegi without paying him and said that they can use a hostage to force Naegi to do their bidding, and the Grand Wizard became intrigued and asks him how would the cult would force Naegi to get the sword, in which the hacker said that he searched the internet for connections and said that he is classmates with Sayaka Maizono at Hope's Peak Academy, and said that news indicate that they are close friends, and revealed that Maizono is here at the city within Croatia to have a live gig at a fashion show, and suggested that they kidnap her to use as a hostage and force Naegi to do their bidding.

"So we kidnap this Japanese girl and use her to force this Makoto Naegi to get the sword for us?"

"Yes, oh Grand wizard..."

"And do you know how to reach this boy?"

"Of course...I even managed to trace his phone number and mail address..."

"Good."

"Thank you..."

"But what about the girl...how do we get our hands on her...?"

"It's easy..."

The hacker then revealed that he found the venue where Maizono and her band are at and what time it would take place, and The Grand Wizard nodded and instructed his men to make preparations and everyone moves out and the meeting is adjourned.

-x-

Several hours later, it was 19:00, and the scene shifts to a rather large building where a fashion event is taking place, and everything appeared peaceful and as the fashion event is ongoing, Maizono and her idol members are getting ready to do their gig, and they are somewhat excited, and nervous, and this would be their first time doing a number at a foreign country, and their manager encouraged them to do their best as they are promised to be paid well tonight.

"Yes..."

"We will do our best!"

"Count on us!"

"It'll be a success..."

"And we get Euros as commission!"

Soon Maizono and her band began performing, and things went well as the audience and photographers gave their applause, and while things are doing well, two vans arrived and the druids came out, all armed with high-powered weapons and sneaked their way in, disabling the guards and stealthily went inside, looking around and making sure there are no obstacles in their way, and in a few minutes later, that saw the event, and one of them saw Maizono singing, and that's where one of their field leaders gave their cue, and the druids stormed the area, opening fire, and shoots indiscriminately at everyone.

Panic ensued as the druids shoots at anyone and everyone...killing and maiming them with reckless abandon, and guards responded to the scene but before they could draw their guns, they were shot down due to the druids being armed with machine guns and other high-powered weapons, and nearby cops arrived to help, but they too were shot down and killed.

In the chaos, the druids found Maizono and as she is about to react, the druid punched her on the gut and she was knocked out, and the druid carried her as they make a hasty retreat and fired more shots to keep the survivors at bay, and soon the druids boarded a van and makes a quick getaway and soon the survivors called the police and ambulances for help as many are killed and many are seriously injured.

To Be Continued...

Now the stage has been set and this is where the story comes in.
