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, in which Naegi and Kirigiri are interrogating a pair of goons who may hold the key on why they are ransacking company building, if they are the ones who ransacked Hagakure's house, and to know if they are connected to Hiroko's is kept, so expect some action and adventure here, so read on and enjoy!
The scene shifts to a makeshift mechanic shop, where you can see someone is manning he shop and is fixing a car that had just arrived, and is in need of repairs. The scene zoomed towards the person, who is fixing the car, and he is soon identified to be a teenager and he is identified as Kazuichi Soda, and he appeared to be living alone at the mechanic shop, and he appeared to be a rather superb and talented mechanic.
Kazuichi, being a mechanic, wears a bright neon yellow jumper with a dark brown streak on both sides and several hot pink markings that goes down to his ankles. Kazuichi's shoes are also yellow, although they're a lighter shade than his jumpsuit, and seem to be Nike, but could easily be of another brand.
Kazuichi's hair is dyed hot pink, and is somewhat badly layered. However, he covers said bad layering up with the gray beanie he wears. In addition to his punk rock appearance, he has thin eyes with hot pink prescription color contacts on them at all times. Above his eyes, his thin, pronounced eyebrows nearly touch his hairline. His teeth are sharp and resemble a shark's, giving him an intimidating grin. He is working around the clock and has fixed several cars and it impressed a lot of customers who paid him handsomely, and after fixing the car of his latest customer, the customer tested it and he is impressed at how his car is fixed and thanked Kazuichi for fixing his car.
"So...how do you like it...?"
"Not bad...my car is like brand new!"
"Impressed, right...?"
"Yes...I am impressed..."
"It wasn't easy getting the parts..."
"Yes, yes...I'll pay you well...here..."
"Heh-heh-heh...thanks!"
"I'll be going, then..."
After that, the customer leaves the shop taking his car with him, and Kazuichi temporarily closed the shop as he is having a lunch break, and the scene zoomed right inside the mechanic shop where Kazuichi opened a cabinet where it showed that he is working on some kind of mechanical item which he is working in secret, and he is grinning at how this item is close to completion, and he couldn't wait to try it out once it is 100% ready, and he is rubbing his hands as he is excited to try it out on something, if not someone.
"Can't wait to test this out, baby..."
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. 53: Torishirabe to Kyūjo
The scene shifts to the parking lot of Technotronica, where Kirigiri began interrogating the two men, in which she asks them what were they doing there at Technotronica and asks if they were the ones who ransacked Hagakure's house, in which the man, identified only as Merbu, replied in defiance.
"...are you the one?"
"Bitch!"
"..."
"I ain't talking to some detective bitch and a brat wearing pajamas and a cape!"
"..."
"We ain't talking, right Renny?"
"Is that so?"
"Got a problem, bitch?"
Kirigiri sees that interrogating him would be difficult, but then noticed the other guy, identified as Renny, appeared nervous, and she got an idea and whispered to Naegi her idea and Naegi seemed to be hesitant, seeing where this would lead to, but she gently prodded him to go along with her plan in order to get some information form Renny.
"You got to be kidding...!"
"I'm not..."
"But..."
"We need to get answers...and this guy here may be the key in finding Hagakure's mom..."
"..."
"Please, Naegi-kun..."
"Oh...okay...just this once!"
"..."
Seeing that there is no other way, Naegi reluctantly agreed and removes he tape, hoisted Renny over his shoulder and jumped up hard, where they both flew in the air and landed onto the 10th floor of the building's edge near the window, and Renny stared wide-eyed in horror, revealing that he has a phobia on heights, and begged Naegi to bring him down, but the teen jumped and landed on the 11th floor near the window and began telling him the condition before he accepts the request.
"Okay then..."
"How...how did you do that?"
"..."
"Please..get me down..."
"Answer some questions first..."
"I don't know anything...!"
"..."
"Please...! Merbu! Do something for Kami-Sama's sake...!"
At the parking lot, Merbu staggered backwards in shock at what he just saw, and Kirigiri taunted him for his defiance, stating that had he cooperated and answered some of her questions she and Naegi wouldn't have resorted to this, but reiterated that they are in a hurry and told him that what he saw just now is just the appetizer and the main course is on the way, and there she tied him up at a signpost using the duct tape and said that he is up next should Renny fail to answer their queries and/or spill some of the beans regarding their questions.
"..."
"Had you cooperated earlier, we wouldn't resort to this..."
"..."
"Either way, you will answer soon..."
"..."
"Depending on how your friend would answer our question..."
"..."
"Have it your way, then..."
Back at the window outside the unit at the 10th floor, Renny is close to losing himself and is pleading Naegi to bring him down, but Naegi insisted that he tell him what he needs to know, such as if he and Merbu were the ones who ransack Hagakure's house; why are they ransacking Tenotronica, and where is Hiroko Hagakure and can she be found, and out of fear and desperation, Renny finally gives in and answered Naegi's questions.
"Okay...okay...I'll tell you!"
"Are you the ones who ransacked Hagakure's house?"
"Yeah...it's us...we were told to find some letter that some dame took..."
"Hiroko..."
"Yeah...that's her...she was working at this joint...our boss said she took a letter and..."
"...oh...? And who hired you..."
"...and that's how it all happen...that's all I know..."
"Where can we find this guy?"
"At a house at Aki Toyosaki Street...besides Yoko Hikasa Avenue...that's all I know...I swear!"
"Okay..."
After seeing that Renny is telling the truth, Naegi jumped down and carried him over his shoulders and jumped down, and though the landing is not so glorifying, Renny is unharmed and Naegi sighed as he still couldn't control his landing, but composed himself and told Kirigiri what he got so far, and there she ties up Renny beside Merbu and after hearing the details, she told Naegi to go to the area that Renny provided and he asks her how, in which she says that he has to get there by FLYING, and Naegi sweat-dropped as he gets the drift, and asks if he should wait for Kirigiri to secure the goons, but she said that she'll have to call the police, and time is of essence if what the goons said about where Hiroko is kept is true, and problems may arise if the police sees Naegi in the red suit, and the Luckster sighed as he had no choice, so he ran off and jumped, in which he flew in the air and leaves the scene, and the two goons stared wide-eyed in horror at what they just saw.
"No way..."
"I don't want to go near that kid again...!"
"Why did you tell him?"
"What else am I suppose to do? He could've dropped from that high building!"
"You and your scaredy cat attitude!"
"You shut up! you didn't do anything to help me!"
"What am I suppose to do?"
"..."
Kirigiri sighed as she picks up her cellphone and called the police to inform them about two robbers breaking in at Technotronica and now she has to wait for the police to arrive before she departs to where Naegi is going.

Several minutes later, the scene shifts at downtown Tokyo, and there you can see Naegi is hovering in the air, trying to stay airborne while maintaining control, and to his dismay, he still couldn't get it right, and he tried all he could to avoid being seen, but luck hasn't been good to Naegi and he eventually loses control and goes downward, and he screams as be is about to make a crash landing below and he covered his head with his arms knowing that there is a chance where he could hurt his head given that his head wasn't covered by the red suit
"WWWHHHOOAAA...GGGYYYAAAHHH...AAAAIIIIEEEEE!"
Naegi falls downward and hits the ground, but thankfully The red suit protected him and he instead slides under a parked car, where It us shown that he landed at a gas station and he slid a bit far and came to a stop when his head hits a gasoline stand, and a gasoline teller stared wide-eyed at seeing Naegi wearing the red suit and cape, wondering if he is a nutcase or not.
Naegi gets up and looked around, and saw a map which shows the map of Tokyo, and he checks it out and found the area he is looking for, and he ran off before jumping, which he is able to fly upward, however, Byakuya Togami, who is sitting inside his car, happened to witness it, but he failed to see Naegi's face, and this shocked him big time and he is again in a state of denial at seeing a FLYING GUY, and his chaffeur arrived and saw Togami panicking.
"Byakuya-sama...?"
"D-did you see that?"
"Eh...?"
"A flying guy...in a red suit...and wearing a cape...!"
"What...? I did not see anything..."
"But I saw it! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Byakuya-sama...calm yourself..."
"I am not lying! I saw it! There's a flying guy roaming the city!"
The chaffeur is rather bewildered seeing Togami acting like a paranoid, and tries to calm him down, with little success and decided to drive him home and have the Togami family doctor check on the Super Duper High School Scion to see if he is suffering from a mental illness or not, as he is worried for Togami's well-being due to him being the Heir to the Togami Family.
-x-
Minutes later, the scene shows that Naegi arrived at Aki Toyosaki Street, and landed in a nearby trash bin, and he is getting irritated at the deja vu he is getting, and he gets off and looked around, seeing that the streets are empty for the time being and saw the signpost of the street, which confirms the street name that is at the corner of Yoko Hikasa Avenue, and he looked around until he saw the house, and then glanced at the front door, where the address is displayed, and realized that this is indeed the place, and he went to the side of the house where a window is shown, then his eyes twitched as he gets another random holographic image, where it shows that Hiroko is inside a room, tied up and gagged, and he is now in the right track, and slowly opens the window and stealthily gets inside and tries not to make a noise in order not to give himself away.
Inside the house, the scene shifts to the living room where a man of Middle Eastern descent is sitting on a chair, facing what appeared to be a device, and is doing a Morse code-like message, and he appeared to be sending a message to someone, and is doing it very diligently until he heard footsteps coming from another room, and he sensed that an intruder is inside, so he turns off the device and took something from a cabinet, which turns out to be a silencer sub-machine gun, and turns around and faces the door of the other room, where he sensed that the sound is coming from.
The man then opened fire the moment the door is opened, and he is somewhat taken aback seeing a mere teenage boy coming out but he took no chances and fired away, and Naegi went on he defensive as he covered his head with head with his arms, in which the red suit protected Naegi from the hail of bullets, and the man is surprised to see that Naegi is still standing so he kept on firing, and Naegi wasted no time as he went forward and used his hand to swat the gun aside, and the man resorted to using his bare hands and punched Naegi on his chest, but wailed in pain as he felt like punching a steel door.
"AAAARRRGGGHH...!"
Naegi then grabbed the man by his collar and threw him against the wall which disabled him and Naegi grabbed a nearby belt and tied his arms and he took something from the man's pocket and found his ID, which he glanced at it which he finds it suspicious as the name appeared to be forged and it does not march his actual face, as he can tell the man's true nationality and tries to interrogate it to try and get some answers from him.
"Who are you? What are you doing? This is a private home!"
"Sorry...but I'm not taking any chances..."
"Let go of me! I'll call the police!"
"Hmm...John Smith...is that your actual name...?"
"I demand to know what you're doing! This is a private home! You can't break in here!"
"You're the one to talk..."
"Damn you, brat!"
"..."
The man was defiant to the end, and seeing that he is getting nowhere, Naegi grabbed the man and hanged him at a hook by the door and the man is stuck so he can't go anywhere, and Naegi went to the other room, where he found Hiroko and told her that he will free her in a moment, and then he went to a cabinet where he saw a spare trench coat and puts it on, just as Kirigiri arrived, and saw that things are under control and asks Naegi why he us wearing a trench coat that is bigger than his body size.
"Naegi-kun!"
"Kirigiri-san..."
"Why are you dressed like that?"
"Sorry..."
"..."
"Hagakure's mon is at the other room...can't let her see me in the red suit...she might get wild ideas..."
"I see...and this guy...?"
"He's one of the culprits...he's keeping her here...and he tried to shoot me down..."
After that, Naegi went to the other room and unties Hiroko, and calms her down as he told her that she is safe, and there Hiroko told Naegi that she had been abducted by weapon-hungry men who are from other countries, such as North Korea, China, Iran, Libya, and several other countries, and said that the president of Technotronica himself is a spy, which surprised Naegi.
"Eh?"
"That's right...the guy who kidnapped me...he's not only the president of Technotronics...he's also the mastermind behind all this!"
"Calm down, ma'am..."
"You got to call the police!"
"We will...but you need to calm down..."
"..."
"Okay...let's go outside...a detective can help you..."
"Tank you, child..."
