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 Kirigiri and Naegi's JOURNEY would pay off, as they finally get to meet the aliens who gave Naegi the RED SUIT, but would happen once they learned that the RED SUIT has fallen to the wrong hands?
Well, then, read on and find out!
The scene shifts to the hideout where the surviving members of the Third Reich are watching as their scientists were conducting experiments on the red suit, amazed that the suit was unscathed after undergoing a series of tests, such as being exposed to fire, acid, chainsaw, and even being riddled with bullets, and Von Kaiser is impressed at this and his right-hand man said that tomorrow he will have the suit undergo one final test before he gives his final recommendation, which Kaiser nodded as he is filled with malevolent confidence as he believed that he has found the perfect weapon to get back against the Allied Forces for causing Germany to lose in World War II.
"My Fuhrer…give me one more day to test this clothing…"
"Very well…I believe we may have found our HOLY GRAIL…should we find out on how we make use of it…we can set to conquer Germany and Europe…then trample the Allied Powers…"
"Yes…it would be the best…the moment we know how to operate this…suit…"
"Then do what you must…find out how this work."
"Yes, my Fuhrer."
"And let me know if we can mass-produce it."
"At once!"
"Good."
After that, Von Kaiser has the meeting adjourned and said that he will see the final experiment tomorrow and will give his assessment on what to think if the red suit and to see if it could be massed-produced so that he will get his revenge on the Kirigiri family and the rest of the world, particularly the western countries who caused the humiliation and defeat of the Third Reich and causing Adolf Hitler to take his own life several decades ago.
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. 100: Uchū hito to no kaigō
Elsewhere, you can see that it was night time, and the scene shows that the hotdog van has arrived at Mt. Bandai, and Kirigiri wondered if they have arrived at the place as she wondered what awaits them as she noticed that they are heading to a secluded area, as she sees that there are no buildings or anything such, and she checked on Naegi as he is getting more pale and she began to worry, and she is beginning to get seriously concerned, and several minutes later the van finally stopped, and the doors and windows began to open, and there Kirigiri carried Naegi outside and placed him on the ground, and checked on him, where she saw that he bandage was deeply stained, and she deduced that the bleeding hasn't stopped and she is about to patch his wounds when Naegi spoke, in a rather apologetic tone.
"Ki..rigiri…san…"
"?"
"S-sorry…"
"Don't apologize."
"…"
"I'm at fault…"
"I…was so…selfish…"
"I should be the one to say that…I shouldn't have forced you…"
As she assured to him that everything is okay, the atmosphere became somewhat silent, and the next moment, the UFO slowly arrived, and is hovering above the two teens, and Kirigiri hugged Naegi as she sensed that something is going to happen and she wondered what is going to happen as she has no idea what to expect, and y then a white, blinding light enveloped the two teens, and after several seconds, the light faded, and both teens were nowhere to be found, and the UFO slowly flies upwards, heading towards outer space and seemed to have taken Naegi and Kirigiri with them.
Fortunately, there was no one else around, and all that's left behind is the hotdog van, and since it was a secluded area, and within thus hour, there is no one around to notice what just happened, and you can see that it was silent and things went on unnoticed.

The scene shifts at the freeway as the car is nearing the entry border of Mt. Bandai, and for Fuhito, this somewhat brought back memories of six months ago, and there he told Maizono about how he came to saw the UFO ship for the first time and hearing the aliens communicated with Naegi and Kirigiri through the car radio, and Maizono could only stare in disbelief, and did not know what else to expect as they are soon nearing Mt. Bandai, and she asks him if this would lead them to where Naegi and Kirigiri are, as all she could think of right now is Naegi.
"Are you…serious, Fuhito-san…?"
"Yes."
"Naegi-kun flying around with that Superman-like suit is one thing…but a UFO…?"
"That is the truth. I saw it myself which made me accept what my granddaughter told me…"
"So then…those aliens…are they the one forcing this car to head to their hiding place…?"
"Looks like it."
"Then I hope Naegi-kun is here…"
"Easy now"
As Fuhito assures to her that the two teens are okay, he did all he could to calm her down, and by now they have entered the vicinity of Mt. Bandai, and the two noticed that there are no other vehicles traveling, and seeing a pair of tire tracks before them, they can only guess that the tire tracks belonged to the vehicle that Naegi and Kirigiri used, and this made Maizono feel more worried, and anxious, to get out there and see him, but Fuhito urged her to stay calm as he can see that the car is still moving on its own, meaning that the two other teens are somewhere within Mt. Bandai.
"Now, now…"
"But…"
"The car is still moving on its own…we cannot get off at this point."
"Still…"
"I am sure the aliens responsible for this is taking us to where Naegi and Kyoko are…so calm down and we wait."
"…"
"I promise."
"…"
Maizono reluctantly calmed down as she sat back and Fuhito looked at the scene before him as the car traveled and he had a feeling that the car is taking them somewhere secluded, and he can only guess that they are heading to the same spot where he first saw the UFO ship six months ago, and wondered what would happen if he do meet with the aliens, and this is something he and Maizono would brace themselves while at the same time worried about his granddaughter and Naegi's wellbeing.

Several minutes later, the scene shifts inside the UFO, where you can see Kirigiri lying on a table-like bed, and she slowly opened her eyes feeling that she is inside an air-conditioned room, and she felt a bit groggy but she regain her presence of mind and sat up, realizing that she has been taken away, and looked around, realizing that Naegi is not with her, and slowly her stoic manner was beginning to get overtaken as worry enveloped her as she knows that Naegi is bleeding to death and gets up, seeing that she is inside a white room, and she nears the doorway, the doors slid open by itself, and she stepped outside, and looked around, seeing that the lobby appeared to be high-tech, and as she moves around, her eyes widened as she came across a hovering, hand-sized butler-type robot, and it stared at Kirigiri before it hovered away.
Kirigiri stared at it for a while before the robot paused and glanced at Kirigiri, and using its arm and hand, it gestured to her to follow it, and reluctantly she did, leading them to the control room, and for the first time in what appeared to be a decade, Kirigiri jumped back in surprise as she is confronted by the three aliens, Seraphi, Ophani, and Cherubi, and she saw that they are roughly human-like, Except that they have pointed ears while Cherubi's skin resembled like a tree, and Ophani resembled Gaea from the Norse Mythology. Ophani smiled at Kirigiri just to show that she is not in danger, and the hovering robot gave Kirigiri a device that resembled a hearing aid, and Ophani gestured with her hand to put it on, which Kirigiri reluctantly put it on her right ear, and there the device is activated as Ophani spoke to her to engage conversation.
"Greetings, Earthling."
"…"
"Do not be afraid. We are not evil."
"…are you sure…?"
"Yes."
"So you were the ones…who brought us here…?"
"That is correct."
"…"
Kirigiri slowly felt that there is no malevolent intent or aura within the room and lightens up a bit yet regain her stoic manner and asks if they are the ones who communicated to her and Naegi, which she nodded, and when Kirigiri asks if she is the one who helped them during the Kagoshima missile incident and the biker gang case at Mt. Bandai, Ophani nodded, and there she glanced at the three aliens, as she is determining what they really are and to see if they can be trusted, and Seraphi came forward and assured to her that she and Naegi are in good hands, and that is where Kirigiri realized that Naegi is still in critical condition and this made her worried that he could die any moment and demanded where Naegi is, and Seraphi urged her to calm down.
"Naegi-kun!"
"Calm yourself, child…"
"Where is he?"
"Do not worry."
"Eh? But my friend is…"
"He is already been attended to."
"What?"
"Calm down and I will explain…"
Cherubi can only watch in annoyance at how Kirigiri reacted as if she were acting like a child and wondered why Seraphi bothered brining her and Naegi here but Ophani whispered to Cerubi and urged him to have faith in Seraphi's judgment, seeing that this would help in resolving Kirigiri and Naegi's conflict with one another and felt that this may be the good time to let the two teens know why they chose Naegi to use the red suit for a reason, in which Cherubi felt that there is a possibility that Naegi may reject the reason once he finds out the truth.
"Now, now…don't be…"
"Bah…I am sure that the Naegi would want to quit…"
"Don't be like that, Cherubi…"
"What if …?"
"Let Seraphi handle the matter."
"I doubt he would get a good response…"
"Don't be like that."
"Seriously, Ophani…"
Ophani then told Cherubi not to act so pessimistic and instead told him to have faith him Seraphi, and Cherubi sighed and reluctantly nodded as he lets Seraphi handle the matter though he is bracing himself what the results would be once Naegi wakes up and is told of the reason why he was chosen to use the red suit for a reason, while Ophani watches on as Seraphi is calming Kirigiri down when she demands to know where Naegi is, and the scene shifts to the other two as Kirigiri is asking Seraphi where Naegi is kept, telling him that her friend is bleeding for several hours after he was shot by a Nazi agent.
"…"
"Please! My friend is dying…"
"You need not worry, child."
"Why?"
"As I said…he is currently being attended."
"Eh?"
"I will show you."
"…"
Seraphi smiled as he gestured her to look at the side of the wall, where the small window-like door opened, and it showed a glass panel, and it shows that several robots, who appeared to be medics, are working on Naegi, and you can see a bottle and a dextrose-like tube attached and you can see that he is being given blood transfusion, and this made Kirigiri worried as she wondered how will that help given that the three aliens are at outer space and how it would help Naegi as she deduces that they do not know his blood type, but Seraphi answered her queries and assured to her that everything has been sorted out.
"As I stated, you do not have to worry about anything."
"But I have a reason to."
"Hmm?"
"How do you know his blood type? You were hovering at outer space…"
"We already solved that."
"Eh?"
"Let me explain."
"…"
Seraphi told Kirigiri that when Naegi is brought aboard, the medic robots immediately took his blood samples and analyzed it, and after determining his blood type, they synthesized it and made a blood that would be compatible to Naegi's blood type, and soon they gave him an emergency blood transfusion and at the same time remove the bullet from his body, and a medic robot came and gives the slug to Kirigiri, which she stared at it and glances at the glass panel, where Naegi is in slumber before the panel closes and told her to relax a bit as he offered to show her around the ship, which she appeared hesitant, and asks if the three aliens are benevolent, which he nodded and assured to her that she and Naegi are safe and no harm will come to them.
"I assure you. We are a benevolent race."
"…"
"If we are evil , we would have let you perish…and attack your planet."
"I…see."
"Come…allow me to show you around."
"And what about my friend."
"He will be fine. He will recover soon."
"Very well."
Seeing that she has no choice in the matter, as well as wanting to know their true intentions, Kirigiri reluctantly offered Seraphi's invitation to have a tour inside the spacecraft, and Seraphi led her towards the entire ship, and as the two left, Ophani and Cherubi are alone, and Cherubi shook his head wondering what Seraphi is thinking yet Ophani assured that Seraphi knows what he is doing and everything is under control, and he glanced at the wall where Naegi is still under medical procedure, and wondered if this is okay, which she said that he should have faith in Seraphi's judgment, and Cherubi sighed as he reluctantly did as he is told.
"Have faith in Seraphi. He knows what to do."
"Even if I do, I am not sure if that boy is willing to…"
"It would depend once the boy recovers, and there we will see for ourselves what would happen next."
"But…"
"Trust me…trust Seraphi."
"Ophani…!"
"Please."
"Oh…fine."
The scene then shifts back to Earth, where you can see that the time now in Japan is 20:00, and everything appeared normal, except that the scene shifts at the Naegi residence where Komaru is doing her homework inside her room, and she wondered where her elder brother is, as he has not arrived home, and she can hear her parents talking as they noticed that their son has not arrived home yet and they did not receive a call or text from him.
"Honey…calm down…"
"How can I? our son has not arrived home!"
"Maybe he is with…"
"Then he should at least texted or call us!"
"Let's wait for another…"
"If our son is not back…I'm calling the police…!"
"You can't do that! We'll have to wait for 24 hours before he is considered…"
"I can't wait!"
