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 reaches its climax, as Naegi and Kirigiri finally infiltrated the cult's lair, and all they have to do is find Maizono, but that doesn't mean that it's going to be a happy ever after, as the Grand Wizard seemed to have a trick up his sleeve, so read on as this chapter's going to be a bit long and expect a ton of actions as Naegi…you know the drill, so read on and enjoy!
At outer space, the three aliens are watching the events that unfolded, where Naegi and Kirigiri have infiltrated the cult's lair, and they are now awaiting what Naegi is going to do once he finds Maizono, and wondered where this would lead to as Cherubi expects Naegi that once he saves Maizono, he is going to let success get to his head, but Ophani thinks otherwise seeing that sincerity in Naegi and told Cherubi not to get too harsh on the boy, and Cherubi is somewhat annoyed why she would always vouch Naegi to this extent.
"Why, Ophani? Why side with that boy to this extent?"
"Because I know that boy would do good!"
"I'm sure that boy would let success get to his head and do all sorts of misbehavior!"
"He will not!"
"How can you be sure?"
"You should get to know about that boy first before you judge him!"
"Bah! I don't need to!"
"You fool!"
However, Seraphi told his two fellow aliens not to bicker among themselves and instead be ready at what events might unfold as he expects Naegi to have a difficulty in dealing such a large enemy, and even though Naegi has the red suit, he knows that Naegi never had a bloodlust in him and thus he knows that all Naegi can do is knock them out and told Cherubi that Naegi has a heart of a hero and knows that he would not get overconfident with the red suit and told him that he should not worry about such trivial doubts, and Cherubi sighed seeing that Seraphi is also vouching for Naegi and reluctantly accepts their word and the three aliens resume watching the events unfold at Croatia's south part, which is that of a mountainous lair in Dalmatia.
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. 50: Karuto ni chokumen
The scene shifts to the vicinity of Dalmatia, and there the scene shows that the truck is approaching a mountainous area, and after a few minutes the truck arrived and the druids greeted the prostitutes and had them ushered towards the mountain's entrance, and there the disguised Naegi and Kirigiri went with the other druids as they began marching the hallway, where they saw the prostitutes are being assembled and there in which she whispered to Naegi that aside from being an organization, they appeared to be a cult given that a statue is seen in the middle of the meeting room, and there the Grand Wizard appeared, greeting his followers and had the druids assembled and told them it is time to worship and give offering to their "god".
"I thank you all for assembling here...it is time to give thanks and tribute to our god...for the blessings he has given us...and with this...we shall reap what we sow...but we should not forget to give thanks to him...for everything he has given us...so let us give praise top our god..."
After a few minutes, the Grand Wizard told them that the time of offering has passed and told his followers to be merry, and so the druids began picking their preferred prostitutes and took them to their room, intending to have sex with them, and the disguised Naegi and Kirigiri went to a hall, and from there they decided split up, in order to search where Maizono is being held, and she reminded Naegi that even though he is wearing the red suit, she advised him to try and minimize his actions should he encounter any trouble, in which he nodded and told her to be careful as well.
"You be careful too, Kirigiri-san..."
"I will..."
"I'll find Maizono-san..."
"Okay...but be careful...and try not to give yourself away..."
"I won't..."
"You know the drill...find Maizono-san...have her disguise s someone...and meet me and May at the meeting place..."
"Okay..."
"Good..."
After that, the two teens split up, with Naegi going west and Kirigiri east, stealthily searching for any room they can find and see if Maizono is still there. However, they are unaware that the Grand Wizard's right-hand man is already onto them, having noticed the two due to their heights and that the druid suits were too long and its hem are touching the ground, and there he approached the Grand Wizard, telling him what he figured out, but instead of becoming alarmed, he is beamed with confidence, seeing that things are working better than he expected.
"...I see...this is working better than I anticipated..."
"Sir...why are you not alarmed? How can you..."
"Relax...I have plans...and I know how we can use those Japanese brats to bring the armor pieces to us..."
"Really...?"
"Yes..."
"How...?"
"Here is what you do..."
"...I see...very well..."
The Grand Wizard then told his right-hand man to make preparations and he obliges, seeing that his leader knows what he is doing, and realized that the Grand Wizard had anticipated this kind of situation and lets him do the decision-making and wait and see how the events would turn out, hoping that the cult's plan would succeed.
A few minutes later, the scene shows that Naegi is approaching each room and slowly peeked inside, where he blushed seeing that some of the druids and the prostitutes are engaging in a sex orgy, and he hurriedly leaves the scene as he felt that he is out of place and wondered what he would do if he were in that kind of situation, and continued to search every room in an effort to find Maizono, and prayed that she is unharmed, and not violated, as he felt that if anything were to happen to her, he might lose himself and that's the one thing he has to watch out for.
"Maizono-san...please be okay..."
At the east area, Kirigiri was also searching for Maizono, and so far she found nothing in each room she passed, except seeing some druids engaging in a sex orgy with some of the prostitutes, and she sighed seeing how the women would degrade themselves in exchange for money, and when she came across one room, she took a secret peek, where she saw some of the druids are making drugs, drugs that are rampant throughout the illegal drug trade, and there she started to suspect that the druids bringing the prostitutes here have a different motive besides offering them money and sex.
"It appeared that this cult is not only engaged in bringing prostitutes here...they are also doing illegal activities...once we get Maizono-san out of here...I will expose you pigs without hesitation..."
She then leaves the scene to continue her search for Maizono, and wondered if Naegi has any LUCK in finding her, and she is preparing for the worst case scenario should the druids do something to Maizono and is a bit worried that Naegi might throw a fit given that Maizono is his closest friend and with him wearing the red suit, she figured that Naegi might end up attacking them with fury if the druids did something horrible to Maizono.
-x-
Elsewhere, the scene shifts to a room where the Grand Wizard's right-hand man is with May, and May casually tries to seduce him, though all he did was kissing her neck, fondling her breasts, but he is holding a jar of liquor and after taking several sips, he ended up getting drunk, and when May tried to rouse him, he began snoring, and she smirked seeing that this plan worked better than she thought, seeing that she wouldn't have to lose her virginity to a middle-aged man.
"This is easier than I expected..and it works for me..."
Seeing a ring with several keys, May took it and leaves the room, where the right-hand man is revealed that he is faking his drunkness and leaves the room and went to another area, and a few minutes later, he arrived at a room where Sayaka Maizono is being held, and one of the druids is holding an injection, there the right-hand man asks the druid if the preparations are set.
"Is it ready?"
"Yes..."
"How long will it last...?"
"About 20 hours...during this...she will be our willing puppet..."
"Good...administer it to her...and she will be our key against that Naegi..."
"Yes, sir...now then, my child...it is time for the exorcism to take place..."
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I'M NOT POSSESSED! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'LL USE ME AGAINST NAEGI-KUN?"
"You will become an instrument of our god..."
Maizono is terrified at what the druids are planning to do with her and she tries to break free but then the druid injected her with an experimental drug and they waited for five minutes and there the drug took effect and Maizono went into a trance, and the right-hand man whispered to her and gave her orders, and she just nodded in obedience and the two druids left the room, and stayed out of sight, and moments later, May arrived, just as Naegi and Kirigiri arrived as well and there May used the key to open the room in front of them and there they found Maizono, and Naegi used the red suit's power to rip off the ropes and tries to rouse her.
"Maizono-san!"
"..."
"Can you hear me?"
"..."
"Maizono-san!"
"Naegi...kun...?"
"It's me!"
"Naegi..."
Maizono hugged Naegi and he is relieved to see that she wan't harmed and there May told the three teens that they need to get out of here and Kirigiri nodded, and there she gave Maizono a druid suit to disguise her and the four of them stealthily walked out of the room, and went to the exit area, where the prostitutes are being loaded onto the truck and he four of them joined the rest, where minutes later the truck leaves the mountain and is heading back to Zagreb, and at the mountain entrance, the Grand Wizard watches the truck leave, as if he did not suspect anything, until his right-hand man came and whispered to him and the Grand Wizard nodded before entering the mountain entrance, expecting good things to happen and hoped to expect results soon.
-x-
About four hours later, the truck arrived at Zagreb's Upper Town, and the prostitutes got off and so are May and the three teens, and there she led them towards her parked SUV and boarded where they left and headed back to May's rest house, and an hour later, they arrived, where May is pleased that things went well without problem, and Naegi is glad that Maizono is rescued, though Kirigiri felt that something is off here, but then May told Kirigiri that with Maizono rescued, they still haven't gotten the three armor pieces from the druids, but Kirigiri said that they will discuss about it tomorrow, feeling that going back to the cult's lair now won't be as easy as before, and May nodded, seeing the logic, and there she brought out the two armor pieces and placed it at a vault, and Maizono asks May in curiosity.
"Um..."
"Yes, Ms. Maizono?"
"What are those...?"
"Oh, that...they're..."
"What is an Armour of God..."
"Hmm...you want to hear it...?"
"Yes..."
"Okay...it's like this..."
May told Maizono about the Armour Of God and the legend it holds and Maizono said that she is worried that the druids might kidnap her again, yet May told her not to worry about it as she would use her contacts to issue a visa and have her fly off to Japan, but also advised her to stay here and Kirigiri agreed, as she deduced that the druids would, by now, found out that their hostage has escaped and are going to look for her just to keep Naegi at bay and force him to surrender the two armor pieces.
Several hours later, it was night time, and after eating dinner, they spend the rest of the night talking about making their next move on how to sneak back into the druids' lair and getting Maizono out of Croatia without attracting the druids' attention, but then Kirigiri sneaked several glances at Maizono, who appeared to be calm despite the ordeal she went through, but she kept it to herself for now and everyone went to their rooms to get some rest.
The scene shifts to Naegi's room, where he is seen removing the red suit and cape, and is only in his brief, and he is about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when Maizono went in, surprising the Luckster and tried to tell her to turn around given his situation, but she just smiled and approached him, slowly embracing him which made him blushed, and there she thanked him for saving her from the druids, which made him feel at ease seeing that she seemed to have recovered from the ordeal that she went through in the past few days.
"...thank you, Naegi-kun...for saving me..."
"It's okay...I would do everything to help a friend..."
"You know..."
"Huh?"
"I think of you as more than a friend..."
"Maizono-san..."
"Naegi-kun...I have feelings for you..."
"Um...ah..."
As Naegi is about to tell her that he needs to get dressed, she smiled at him before placing her lips onto his, forming a kiss, and she started to kiss him passionately, and while surprised at the sudden action, he was slowly drawn to her and reluctantly returned the kiss, his feelings towards her is starting to awaken, and felt that she needed his emotional support ti help her recover though he is still unsure if his feelings towards Maizono is genuine or not, and the scene slowly faded in black.
-x-
By morning, it was 6 am, and Kirigiri suddenly gets up, as a thought hit her as she slowly deduced what is bothering her and had a mixture of apprehension and worry, gets out of her room, just as May came out and is surprised to see Kirigiri's serious look and asks her why is she acting like something is going on, and there she told May what she has on her mind right now and what she feels is about to happen at this instant, and there May is starting to get worried after hearing what the teen just told her.
"Are you saying...?"
"Yes, May...I have a feeling that something is indeed odd..."
"How can you be so..."
"We need to check things out...let's get to Naegi-kun and tell him to keep his guard up..."
"If you say so...but the vault is..."
"That's what worries me..."
"Huh?"
"Follow me, May..."
Both girls went to Naegi's room, where they saw that he is not there, his towel on the floor, his clothes are on he bed, and the red suit on the floor as well,but Kirigiri's eyes widened as she saw a syringe with a needle, which has a drop left, and she told May to check the vault, and May did so, and seconds later she came back and told her that the vault was forcibly opened, where a bottle of acid is found and Kirigiri's fear became a reality and her suspicions were confirmed: the druids did something to Maizono, and used her to get the armor pieces and ran off. Seeing that Naegi is not around, both girls deduced that the kidnappers may have followed them to the rest house and waited, and once they got the armour pieces, they took off and took Naegi and Maizono with them.
May then checked the CCTV, where it showed what Maizono did to Naegi, and there it also showed that Maizono led the druids in and forced the vault to open, and after taking the two armor pieces, the druids took Naegi and Maizono with them, and left in a hurry.
As May is worried about how to tell her father that the operation is a failure, Kirigiri said that all is not lost, as she asks her if she has a map of Dalmatia, which she showed it, and there she told May that she would try and sneak her way in to the cult's lair and rescue her two classmates and get the armor pieces, and May is astounded at what she just heard, knowing that she is going to face a huge organization all by herself.
"You got to be kidding me, Kyoko!"
"I'm not..."
"We managed to sneak our way around the lair...but you can't fool those druids twice!"
"You need not worry..."
"I do worry! How can you sneak back in as I'm sure that they know you'd be seen even if you disguise yourself..."
"I have something up my sleeve..."
"Huh?"
"I know a way to get in there without going through the front door..."
Kirigiri told May that she has a trump card with her and said that she will pull through and promised her that she will get all he armor pieces and give it to her, and there she told May to get ready, and in a matter of 30 minutes, the two girls boarded the SUV and leaves he rest house and head out to Dalmatia to commence a daring rescue to save Naegi and Maizono as well as to retrieve the armor pieces, which is now a complete set and in he hands of the cult.
-x-
About four hours later, the SUV arrived at Dalmatia, and took the route leading to the mountains where the cult's base is, but then Kirigiri directed May to take a different route and she did so, where they arrived near the mountain and Kirigiri took out a pair of ropes and harness, while carrying a backpack where the red suit is hidden, and there she told May to wait for her call on the radio, where she would tell her where to meet her and the others and May nodded at Kirigiri's instructions.
"...so that's my instructions, May..."
"Are you sure you can pull it off, Kyoko?"
"Yes, May."
"Okay..."
"I'll be going then..."
"Be careful there..."
"I will..."
"Good luck, Kyoko..."
After that, Kirigiri began using the ropes and harness to climb up the mountains, which is he same mountains where the cult's lair is located, and she patiently climbed up which took her nearly an hour, and finally found an alternative entrance and entered the cave, and sneaked her way in, where she stealthily navigated through the hall, sneaking peeks at every room she came across, and so far there is no sign of anything moving, and as she proceeded, she had to hid herself when some druids are walking, and thankfully they did not spot her, and she proceeded to move around, until she came across a room, which has a lock, and seeing a small hole, she peeked and saw Naegi and Maizono tied up, and both just woke up and can hear them talking, having no recollection on how they got here.
Using a pick, Kirigiri picked the lock until it was opened and she entered the room, where her two classmates are relieved to see her, and there she slowly untie the two and explain how hey got here and told them how it all happened.
"...and that's what happened..."
"Eh?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes. Maizono-san...did you recall that the druids drugged you or something?"
"Yes...they did inject something into me...and I lost conscious and just now I got my bearings back..."
"I see...you've been drugged into becoming a mindless servant for a day...and Naegi-kun...did you not sense what is happening?"
"Um..."
"You were so foolish in letting her kiss you and ended up being drugged..."
"..."
Maizono feels ashamed for causing the trouble she made, though Kirigiri said that the druids did this as they anticipated Naegi coming here, and as the two are set free, she checked Naegi's body if there are any needle marks, and while he did have on one his upper right arm, Kirigiri checked his other body and made him turn around, pulling his brief down and checked his buttocks for any signs of being injected, and Maizono took offense thinking that she is trying to seduce Naegi which Kirigiri denies, and the two girls started bickering much to Naegi's bewilderment.
"What are you trying to do?"
"I'm checking if he has needle marks on his rear..."
"You're not trying to seduce him, are you?"
"Do you really think I came here just for that...?"
"Who knows?"
"I can't believe you'd think something like that after I took the risk of coming here to rescue you..."
"..."
"You must know...I'm not that kind of girl, Maizono-san..."
Naegi turns around to try and calm he two girls, and in doing so, exposing his private part to them, ans while Kirigiri remained stoic, Maizono blushed, seeing how cute he is, and Kirigiri sighed and pulled his brief up, telling him that he is safe and gives him the red suit to use and he began putting the red suit on and soon they are ready to make a break, until his eyes twitched and gets a holographic image where it shows where the Armour Of God pieces are hidden, and he told the two girls to find a way out, in which Kirigiri nodded and told Naegi to be careful, and Maizono hugged Naegi as she is worried about him, but he assured to her that he will be okay, and then the two girls leave, where Kirigiri led Maizono to the route she took when sneaking inside the cave, and Naegi went to the other route to find the Armour Of God, and in the minutes that passed, Naegi is starting to get lost given the vast area of the cave, and he decided to concentrate and gets another holographic image, where it shows that Kirigiri and Maizono have safely escaped the mountains and meets up with May, and he is now about to concentrate in finding the route leading to the armor pieces, but his concentration is interrupted when spotted by druids.
"Look!"
"It's that kid!"
"How did he get out?"
"Get him!"
"Let's kill him! We got the armor pieces...we don't need him!"
"Yeah...kill him!"
"For our god!"
"For our god!"
Naegi shrieked upon being spotted,and the druids began charging towards the teen, but the Luckster instinctively pushed them aside, sending the druids crashing against the wall and knocked them out, and hurriedly went to another route, where he is navigating his way until he tripped and fell to a hole on the side of the wall, sending him sliding down towards the dining hall, and as he landed, he is surprised to see a dozen druids dining, but they stopped eating upon seeing him, and he sheepishly tries to talk his way out of this mess.
"Um...hello..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Sorry to interrupt..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Got to go...uh-oh..."
The druids then started to approach the Luckster, and he is bracing himself as he sees that he is outnumbered, and tries to run but the druids grabbed him and began beating him, but one by one the druids backed away as they held their hands in pain, feeling that they were hitting a steel door, as the red suit protected Naegi, and there he capitalizes on it, grabbing the druids and threw them against the wall, knocking them out, and there he saw a door and entered he next room, where he is taken by surprise as the right-hand man is there waiting and with him are two dozen druids, all armed with steel pipes and he is rather annoyed to see him causing disruption while at the same time seeing him running around in a pajama-like outfit with a cape.
"I should've killed you earlier...but since we have all the armor pieces...there is no need to sacrifice you...we will kill you right here and now..."
"..."
"And I wonder why you have been running around that that...pajama get-up...and why are you wearing a cape?"
"Does it matter?"
"Yes."
"I'll stop you..."
"Foolish brat...kill that boy!"
"Yes, sir!"
The right-hand man told the druids to kill Naegi, and they ran towards him, and Naegi appeared less willing to take them on, so he ran three steps then jumped, where began flying in an erratic manner and the druids were dumbfounded, and shocked to see him fly, and Naegi tries to control his flight until seeing a huge door in front of him and tries to land, but ended up hitting the door and he fell to the ground, dazed, but he willed himself to get up, opened he door and then locked it, just as the druids try to force their way, in, but they were locked out, and Naegi continued to move north, where he would soon come across another room, and upon entering it, he saw the room with a stairs and a bridge, and then saw the five pieces of the Armour Of God, assembled, which makes it resembled a knight, and glanced at it, wondering if this is the reason why the cult kidnapped Maizono and force him to bring the armor pieces to them.
"They kidnapped Maizono-san...killed a lot of people...just for this?"
By then the Grand Wizard appeared, and he is not pleased with the disturbance that Naegi caused, and told him that trying to steal the Armour Of God is an insult to their god, and thus Naegi will feel the wrath of their god, and with a wave of his hand, the Grand Wizard summoned four women, who are of African-American descent, and they were wearing tanktop shirts and leather pants and boots, and they were overly muscular, and Naegi is somewhat worried seeing that he may have to be a bit rough against them and there the Grand Wizard told Naegi that the women underwent experimental changes which resulted in the women becoming killing machines, and Naegi is shocked at what the Grand Wizard did to the four women, seeing that they have become mindless puppets.
"You...why...?"
"For the sake of our god..."
"You turned them into slaves! Those women have souls! How can you..."
"All for the sake of our god...we will rule the world..."
"I'll stop you!"
"And what can you do...?"
"I'll...I'll..."
"Foolish boy..."
The Grand Wizard just laughed at Naegi's angry words and said that with the Armour Of God completed and in their hands, the cult will soon rule the world and will spread the word to all continents and people will serve him, and this caused Naegi to charge forward but the muscled women intercepted him and began hitting him with a barrage of punches and kicks, and surprisingly, the women are able to keep Naegi at bay despite him wearing the red suit, and Naegi managed to block their attacks but one of the women managed to land a blow to his cheek, sending him careening against a wall, and the other women followed and began attacking the teen, and Naegi is starting to get overwhelmed until he unconsciously tapped onto the red suit's power and used telekinesis, causing the four women to be thrown back, but the women recovered and attempts to go after their target, and Naegi is starting to get pressured and in the heat of the fight, he unintentionally punched one of the women on he jaw, sending her upward and she collided against the cave's ceiling and she fell down, and is rendered unconscious.
The other women were slightly taken aback yet they proceeded to go after him and he was forced to fight back, landing a blow to the next woman, and the blow sends her spinning back and collided against the wall, knocking her out, and Naegi grabbed the two remaining women by their heads and banged them together, knocking them out as well, and the Grand Wizard stared in disbelief as he saw Naegi took out his secret weapons, and there Naegi told the Grand Wizard to disband and leave quietly, but the Grand Wizard was defiant to the end as he summoned his minions and his right-hand man joins him and stood with his leader.
As Naegi braces himself, one of the goons took out a grenade and threw it at the teen, but Naegi swat the grenade aside, and it struck a wall which exploded, slowly weakening one of the cave's foundation, and the druids were unaware that another explosion would cause the cave to give in, and another druid took out an RPG and is ready to open fire, and Naegi saw this and gets ready as the druid fires the weapon and he ducked under the fire, as the RPG shell struck the same spot on the wall, and another druid fires an RPG shell, hitting another wall, and the series of explosion has caused the cave's foundation to drastically weakened, and moments later the cave starts to cave in, debris began to fall and the cult members began to panic and even the Grand Wizard is starting to panic.
Naegi is also shaken by this and he found a sack and grabbed the complete set if the Armour Of God and placed it on the sack and carried it, then he ran a few steps before jumping and began to fly, and had to navigate his way through as debris is now becoming more frequent ans boulders began raining down, killing many of the druids and Naegi willed himself to escape, unconsciously tapping on the suit's teleportation power, and he us now at the alternate exit of the mountain, but is too high to climb down, and seeing that the cave is going to cave in any moment, Naegi took a deep breath and jumped high and began to fly, barely escaping the mountains which continued to collapse, and though he managed to stay airborne, he quickly loses control and descends towards the ground, landing in an unglorified heap, and right in front of the SUV where Kirigiri, Maizono and May are there and the two female teens are relieved to see Naegi okay, though May was shocked to see what Naegi just did, and asks Kirigiri how did Naegi do that, though Kirigiri claimed that the suit Naegi is wearing has a mechanism that is similar to that of a flying squirrel.
"Kyoko..."
"Yes?"
"How did Makoto do that?"
"Do what?"
"He jumped high from the mountains...and he landed...well...no one could survive that..."
"Well you see..."
"Huh?"
"...and that's that..."
It was actually a blatant lie on Kirigiri's part, but May believed it and she saw the armor pieces on the sack and after checking it, she is overjoyed to see that the set is complete, and there Naegi told Kirigiri about what happened at the lair, and Kirigiri told May to call the police and have the mountains sealed to prevent any survivors from escaping, in which she did, and Maizono checked on Naegi, asking if he is okay, which he assured to her hat he is fine.
"I'm okay, Maizono-san..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes..."
"Your cheek...it's bruised..."
"It's nothing...really..."
"But..."
"Don't worry..."
"..."
Kirigiri gave Naegi the trench coat and told him to see if all the druids are dead or if some survived, and tapping on the suit's holographic image, he sees that 90% of the cult are killed, but some survived, and said that the druids won't be able to escape completely, and Kirigiri told Naegi to stay inside the SUV and in a matter of hours police arrived ad there May told them about the cult's lair, and the police are surprised to see Maizono, and after some time, a few surviving druids are arrested, and many of their contrabands were confiscated, and the Grand Wizard and his right-hand man are among those arrested, and Maizono is being loaded inside an ambulance to have her undergo medical check up, and as the operation is ongoing, Naegi and Kirigiri watched the scene, feeling that they just accomplished a mission that they never thought hey would undertake however, not far, Nagito Komaeda is watching, wearing the super suit that he got from Burusu Waino, and he is glancing at Naegi, bemused to see Naegi escaping he mountain using the red suit,and is wondering what would happen if he and Naegi would meet one day,when both of them are wearing the super suits, and is curious if Naegi has mastered in using the red suit's power.
"Better try to practice, Naegi-kun...I can't wait to test you out if you can master some of your suit's powers..."
Nagito then leaves the scene and is looking forward that he and Naegi will encounter each other in the future. However, a few druids managed to escape and came across Nagito's path and they were asking for his help in hiding them from the police, and one of them pleaded to Nagito to aid them and promised that they will offer him anything.
"You..."
"Me?"
"Yes, you...help us..."
"And why would I...?"
"We want to hide from the police...and if you help us...we will give you anything..."
"Really...?"
"Yes...we will ask our god to reward you if you hide us..."
"Too bad..."
Nagito stared at the druid and lets out a heat vision, which struck the druid and he was set on fire, in which he ran around before dropping dead, and the two druids were terrified and ran off, but Nagito used the suit's power and went past them, then caught the two by grabbing their necks and snapped them, killing the two instantaneously, and he smirked as he walked away, leaving the three corpses behind.

A few days later, news of Maizono's rescue was broadcasted over Croatia and overseas, in which, through Kirigiri's instructions Maizono claimed that she was able to escape the mountains before it caved in and thus sparing her and her friends any suspicions, and was soon sent to the Japanese embassy and there the ambassador will shoulder the expenses where Maizono will be able to fly back to Japan in a matter of days, and later that day, the scene shifts to Count Bannon's manor, where Count Bannon is pleased that he has finally completed the five pieces of the Armour Of God, and thanked Kirigiri and Naegi for their assistance and for ensuring May's safety, and generously offered them anything, though Kirigiri kindly declined and said that all is well and with Maizono safe, there is nothing more she and Naegi could ask for.
Three days later, Maizono was escorted back to Tokyo Japan, and two hours later, Naegi and Kirigiri are at Zagreb International Airport, where their flight to Tokyo is announced and the two teens boarded the airplane and are on their seats, and as they are waiting for the airplane to leave, the scene shifts to Maizono, where she is glad that the ordeal is over, and Naegj and Kirigiri saved her, and she couldn't wait to see her dad, and her idol band mates, and she intend to continue her idol duties to help her get over the trauma she went through, and the scene shifts to the airport, where Naegi and Kirigiri are getting ready as the plane is about to leave, and Naegi is glad that Maizono has sufficiently recovered, and Kirigiri then chided him for letting his guard down when Maizono seduced him which led her to drug him and ran off with the armor pieces, which Naegi blushed in embarrassment and shame.
"Really, Naegi-kun..."
"Mou...you didn't have to rub it in on me.."
"You should be aware..."
"I said I'm sorry!"
"You know...I wonder what those aliens feel if they see that personality of yours..."
"I can't help it...!"
"Well..."
"Let's drop it, okay?"
By then a flight stewardess came and asks what the two are doing, as she told the two that they are getting a bit noisy, and Kirigiri said that she is giving Naegi some advice, though the flight stewardess advised them to keep their conversation down to keep things quiet, and the two nodded and after several hours, the two teens arrived at Tokyo, they were surprised to see that Maizono is still at the airport, and she was greeted by her dad and his fiance, and a squadron of press who are scrambling to get comments from Maizono after getting word that she escaped her kidnappers and asks who rescued her and asks what implications it would have on her idol career, but police escort arrived and keeps the press at bay as the Maizono family are escorted to a waiting van and leaves, leaving Naegj and Kirigiri behind, and there Kirigiri told Naegi to go straight home and remember to the alibi she instructed him should his parents start asking questions, which he reluctantly nodded, and the two teens went to their respective homes to rest after a week of doing a covert mission that ended in success.

At outer space, the scene shifts to the spacecraft where Seraphi is somewhat pleased with how things have turned out, with Naegi using the red suit to stop and defeat a cult, and Ophani told Cherubi that Seraphi made the right choice in choosing Naegi as the user of the red suit, but Cherubi is still doubtful if Naegi wouldn't get corrupted by the red suit's power.
"Bah...you only said that because that boy is lucky..."
"Cherubi..why don't you show a little faith in Naegi..."
"I don't want to...I still don't trust him..."
"You should...you have seen it..."
"But..."
"Believe me...he will be a big help in the future..."
"And you believe in that?"
"Yes..."
As Ophani ans Cherubi continue to bicker, Seraphi watches the monitor and saw Naegi being greeted by his family, and is looking forward at what challenges would come to the Luckster's way and is expecting the boy to overcome the trials that would approach Naegi, knowing that Naegi is not the type who would give in to any adversity.

A few days later, the scene shifts to a shopping district within Tokyo, and Naegi is walking the streets and he is pleased with how things went, and now he can relax as he wanted to spend some peaceful time without putting on the red suit, but then something caught his attention when he passed by someone, that person is wearing a trench coat, and Naegi felt that he has seen the person before, and as he turn around, he saw the person walking away from him, and failed to see his face, but what Naegi didn't realize that the person who walked past him is Nagito, and all of the sudden, Naegi felt that some force struck him and he flew towards a shop, smashing through the windows and is knocked out, and several bystanders rushed to help him.
"Quick!"
"Someone help him!"
"What happened?"
"Who did this?"
"He's bleeding!"
"Call an ambulance!"
"Kid...hang in there!"
"Help is on the way!"
Nagito smirked as he gets to indirectly meet Naegi, and it turns out that he is wearing the super suit underneath the trench coat and is testing out the suit, and he is a bit dismayed that Naegi wasn't wearing the red suit, but he is sure that Naegi will realize that he will soon meet his match one day.
To Be Continued...
Hope you like this chapter and this ends the Armour of God arc, and things are ass as well...with Maizono rescued, the cult defeated, and the five armor pieces are given to the Bannon family, and our teen heroes went back to Tokyo.
However, the ending was quite a cliffhanger as Nagito gives Naegi a "greeting" and this means that their showdown would happen anytime...though I can't say when...just be on the look out...
