Also, in response to the reviews...yeah, its been a few chapters since naegi last used the suit...and here Naegi will used it again...so expect some SUPER DUPER moments here...
The final chapter of this story arc is here, so read on and enjoy!
About three minutes later, Kyoko Kirigiri is seen walking the streets as she is nearing her house, and she is displaying a look of concern and determination, as she had just concluded her secret investigation, and yet she needed a few more clues before she could make her move, so she took out her cellphone and contacted Chihiro Fujisaki, as she sees that his computer skills are greatly needed and his assistance would be valuable as she makes a move to solidify the evidences she has gathered so far.
By then she managed to reach Chihiro and there the two talked, and Chihiro is told to meet her at her house.
"...and that is the reason, Fujisaki-san..."
"I see..."
"Can you drop by my house?"
"Sure, Kirigiri-san."
"Good. We need to talk after that..."
"Okay."
"Meet me in a while."
"Okay."
Chihiro is told about conducting a discussion and he accepted her request as he is now heading towards Kirigiri's house after hearing that a classmate's life is on the line, and he is determined to help in any way he can.
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. 80: Kyōshi no Kyōhaku Kan'nen
At Hope's Peak Academy, the scene shows that the rest of Class 78 are still doing the decorations at the gym, and you can see that Maizono is practicing her lines as Juliet and Asahina complimented her and said that she is lucky to bag the leading role and said that Naegi is lucky to bag the leading role of Romeo, and jokingly said that it wouldn't be surprising if Naegi asks Maizono out, and Maizono smiled, as she liked the thought of Naegi being her boyfriend but kept those feelings to herself, not wanting to spread rumors at the academy.
"Ah-ha-ha-ha...thanks for the compliment, Asahina-san..."
"But seriously...what if Naegi-kun really asks you out?"
"If that happens...who knows..."
"Eh...? So you don't know if you would go out with him or not?"
"..."
"Maizono-chan...?"
"I'll think about it..."
"Oh, come on, Maizono-chan...!"
By then Ishimaru came and said that the academy is closing and told the two girls to prepare to leave, which the girls agreed, and by then Maizono noticed that Naegi is not around, and she asks Ishimaru if he has seen Naegi around, and there he told her that Naegi has left the academy early and has no idea where he went, and apologized that he couldn't provide an answer to her questions.
"I see..."
"Sorry if I could not give you a straight answer, Maizono-san..."
"Its okay, Ishimaru-san..."
"Anyway, you two should get going..."
"We will..."
"See you tomorrow, Ishimaru-kun..."
"Good...see you two tomorrow."
"Bye-bye..."
As Maizono leaves the gym area, she is met by Musiku and said that he is offering to ride her home using his car, and seeing how kind the teacher is offering, and seeing that he is not displaying any malice, Maizono nodded as she accepted Musiku's offer and there she told Ishimaru and Asahina that she is going ahead and she left with the teacher, and both Ishimaru and Asahina commented at how kind the music teacher is to the class.
"Musiku Direkutah..."
"He sure is a kind teacher..."
"I agree...and he is very supportive."
"Good thing Maizono and Naegi trusts him now..."
"Indeed..."
"Well...we better get going..."
"Yes...we have to be at the academy tomorrow..."
"Right..."
-x-
At Kirigiri's house, Chihiro is concerned after she showed him the records she obtained when she conducted an investigation on Musiku Direkutah's previous jobs, in which he previously took teaching jobs at four high schools, in which he served as music teacher, and there she told Chihiro that in each of the four schools, his tenure there lasted only five months, and he resigned from his jobs after the mysterious disappearance of each of the school's popular high school girl, and Kirigiri told Chihiro that there is a chance that Musiku may be involved, and she had a feeling that Maizono may be the next victim.
"Eh...? Are you serious, Kirigiri-san...?"
"Yes."
"But..."
"There is no mistaking...I believe that the music teacher is not what he appeared to be..."
"..."
"Maizono-san is in danger."
"Wait..."
"What is it, Fujisaki-san?"
Chihiro became concerned that the music teacher may be involved but cautions Kirigiri not to jump into conclusions as she may lack some evidence, but Kirigiri said that her gut instinct is enough to keep her on alert and said that she has to tell Naegi that Musiku's personality may be similar to Taren, and she reached her cellphone and tries to contact Naegi, but there is no answer, and she is wondering if he is busy or something, until a static is heard and there she and Chihiro heard a static voice emanating from her cellphone, which turns out that it came from the voice of Ophani, and there she told Kirigiri and Chihiro to follow the cellphone's Google Map, saying it will lead to Naegi's whereabouts, and Kirgiri immediately guessed that Naegi is in danger.
"Are you saying that Naegi-kun is in danger...?"
"Yes...Naegi...danger...bring to...him...red suit..."
"Naegi..."
"Hurry...time...run...out..."
"Okay...we are on our way...!"
"Good...luck...assist...Naegi..."
"We will."
"..."
The two immediately left the house and boarded the car as they follow the map on her cellphone where it would lead to Naegi's whereabouts and prayed that they would get there on time and she is starting to suspect that Musiku is behind this as she knows that Naegi has no enemies, and attacking him for no reason other than being a victim of a random attack, Kirigiri is starting to suspect that there is a pattern here that is familiar, and for now finding Naegi is the crucial mission that's need to address.
-x-
At outer space, the scene shifts to the UFO where Ophani had just gave Kirigiri the location on where Naegi is, and Cherubi is dismayed at seeing his comrade going that far just for Naegi's sake, and she reasoned that Naegi is an important factor in their experiment and there is no one who could replace him though he sees the Luckster as a troublemaker and the two aliens began to bicker again.
"Seriously...that Earth boy is merely a headache!"
"He is not!"
"Look at him...he lets himself get captured...!"
"You cannot fault the boy..."
"Just ditch him and find someone more reliable..."
"Naegi is irreplaceable!"
"Oh he is..."
"He is not!"
Seraphi then steps in and told his comrades not to argue and said that they should observe the events and see where this would lead to, and said that Ophani did the right thing and they need Naegi alive as he has been so far the trustworthy individual to use the red suit, and for now there is no one else who could fill in Naegi's part, and the two aliens went silent and went to work in observing the events at Earth, and see what would become of Naegi shoukd his friends are unabke to find him in time.
-x-
At Tokyo, Kirigiri and Chihiro arrived at a junkyard where the google map in her cellphone led them here, and as they went inside, they looked around to find their classmate, and there they found Naegi's backpack, and when they opened it, the red suit is there, and they realized that Naegi is in danger, and as they looked around, Kirigiri glanced at her cellphone and saw that marker pointing at the spot where a huge machine is shown to crush several junked cars, and there she saw the operator and told him to stop the machine.
"Mister!"
"Huh?"
"Stop this machine!"
"What? Why?"
"There is someone inside that car!"
"Seriously?"
"Yes!"
"Geez!"
The operator did as told and stops the machine and Kirgjri went to the junked car that was about to be crushed, and opened the compartment, where she found Naegi, tied and gagged, and the operator was surprised to see him there and helps Kirigiri in getting Naegi out and there Naegi told her that he was struck from behind and lost consciousness and woke up being tied and gagged inside a car, and told her that he was to go to her house before he was assaulted.
"...and that was it before I was knocked out..."
"I see..."
"Thanks for saving me..."
"Its fine."
"..."
"Naegi-kun...listen..."
"Huh?"
"You need to know..."
Kirigiri in turn told Naegi that she conducted a secret investigation on Musiku and told him that he may not be who he is and said that Maizono is in danger, and told Naegi to put on the red suit and use its power to find Maizono, and there he removed his clothes and puts on the red suit and cape, and tries to concentrate, and finally he gets a holographic image where he SEES a mansion not far from his current position, and then he SAW Musiku carrying a sedated Maizono, and Naegi started to panic and told Kirigiri and Chihiro what he saw, and there she tells Naegi to head there and save Maizono while she and Chihiro will call the police.
"Go, Naegi...save Maizono-san...we will handle the rest!"
"Okay..."
"Be careful, though...We don't know if Musiku is as insane as Taren..."
"I understand..."
"Good."
"Got to go..."
"Good luck."
"Thanks."
Naegi then ran off before jumping to the air and flew, and Kirigiri contacted her grandfather and told her the situation and asks him to contact the police while providing the location of Musiku's mansion and Fuhito said he will do it, and the two teens boarded the car as they head to Musiku's mansion to help Naegi in saving Maizono.
-x-
At Musiku's mansion, Maizono slowly woke up, and saw that she is at a mansion, and slowly recalled that Musiku sedated her while riding in his car, and she is starting to get afraid as she realized that she got fooled by the music teacher and attempts to get out of here, and as she is walking the hallway, a door to a room opened, and a female senior citizen, in her 60's, came out and she is laughing maniacally, holding a knife and is chasing after Maizono, in which she screamed in terror seeing that she is about to be attacked.
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"KILL THE BITCH! KILL THE BITCH!"
"NO, DON'T!"
"KILL...KILL...KILL THE BITCH! KILL THE BITCH WHO IS GOING TO TAKE MY SON AWAY!"
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!"
"KILL...KILL...KILL THE BITCH!"
"HELP ME! NAEGI!"
By then, Musiku came and grappled onto the woman, and he talked to her into calming down, and it turns out that the woman is Musiku's mother, and she is somewhat insane, and she said that she must kill her but Musiku tricked her into thinking that he will do the job.
"No, mom..."
"Kill...must kill her..."
"I will do it..."
"You will...?"
"Yes."
"Really...?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Musiku's mother nodded and went to her room and this allowed Maizono to ran off, but he went after her and tries to persuade her into listening to him, but in her haste she entered a room and locked herself, and he tries to talk to her into opening the door while professing his love for her, which she rebuked him and said she is in love with someone else.
"Maizono...please...let me love you...!"
"No! I cannot...!"
"Please...give me a chance...!"
"I trusted you...and now..."
"Let me make it up to you...!"
"I'm already in love with someone else! Just let me go!"
"NO! I WON'T! I WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT...I WANT TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU!"
"Just go away!"
Maizono was crying while terrified, and there she saw the bodies of four corpses, each wearing a high school uniform and saw their ID, and she began to realize that she saw the news about four female high school students went missing, and started to realized that Musiku abducted them and by then she heard voices and listened through the door where Musiku and his mother are arguing, and there she finds out that she was the one who killed the girls because she opposes her son to be romantically involve with them, and made it clear that Maizono is next but Musiku pleaded to his mother not to do it.
"No, mom..."
"Kill...must kill her..."
"I will do it..."
"You will...?"
"Yes."
"Really...?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
His pleading seemed to work as she stopped her actions and Musiku brought out a key and opened the room, and pulls Maizono out, pleading to her to give him a chance to love her but she refused, and told him that she only love Naegi, and Musiku is hurt and told him that Naegi is an eyesore and in his desperation he told her that he killed him earlier, and Maizono is shocked at hearing this and verbally lashed back at Musiku for what he did to Naegi.
"No...Naegi...!"
"But don't worry...I'm here..."
"You bastard!"
"What...?"
"Why did you hurt Naegi-kun?!"
"He is an eyesore...not worthy for you..."
"I hate you! I only love Naegi!"
"Forget him...just try to love me...!"
By then Naegi arrived as he lost control of his flight and ended up crashing through the ceiling and landed on the floor...FLAT, and Musiku is shocked to see Naegi in the flesh and demanded to him why the Luckster survived when he made sure he couldn't escape the car that was supposed to be crushed by a machine, but Naegi instead told Musiku that he is involved in the disappearances of four female high school students, and Maizono told Naegi she found the bodies.
By then Musiku's mother began shrieking upon seeing Naegi and told Musiku that Naegi is the one who killed Taren, and accidentally revealing that Musiku and Taren are twin brothers, and urged Musiku to avenge Taren's death, surprising both Naegi and Maizono, and in his state of desperation, Musiku told his mother to shut up and let him decide on the matter, and the insane mother became agitated and stabbed Musiku on the head with the knife, piercing his brain which caused his instant death, and Maizono shrieked in horror, and Naegi cringed at the sight, and decided to end this as he saw a long chain and used the suit's speed to grab it and tie up Musiku's mother, thus restraining her and he went to Maizono's side and she cried in his arms, and he began to calm her down seeing that it would traumatize her anew.
"Maizono-san..."
"Naegi...Naegi..."
"Its okay..."
"..."
"You're safe now..."
"Naegi..."
"Shh..."
"..."
By then police sirens can be heard and Naegi looked around and found a spare trench coat and puts it on and there he waited until Kirigiri led the police in and there Naegi and Maizono showed to the cops the corpses of the missing female high school girls, and explained to them what they found out, and that Musiku's mom was the killer and that she killed Musiku in a fit of insanity, and the police began taking the insane woman towards a waiting ambulance, while Naegi began escorting Maizono to the police car so that she would tell the police what she knows, and Kirigiri is told by Naegi about everything.
-x-
The next day, news reached Hope's Peak Academy about the incident, and Jin was shocked and ashamed, seeing that his daughter was right all along about Musiku, and that Musiku was able to fool him into thinking that he is a modest teacher, and apologized to his daughter which she accepted, and said that thanks to the incident the missing girls are found and the case is solved, yet this would also mean that the play may have to be cancelled due to the trauma Maizono received.
"I see..."
"Sorry, dad...but I'm afraid that the play may have to be cancelled..."
"I understand."
"At least its another case that has been solved..."
"Kyoko..."
"Dad...next time, if you are to screen new applicants, let me in...I will do a background check..."
"But, Kyoko...that is a bit..."
"It's better to be safe than sorry..."
To Be Continued...
