Makoto Naegi: Infiltrating the Airship Chapter 4B

Route: Relentless Bounty Hunter

When we last left Makoto he was deciding which weapon to use to fight Deathstroke between a sword called Dirk or a Yo-yo. Now time for the fight

Makoto tosses aside the Yo-Yo and holds the sword at the ready "Preapare yourself Deathstroke!" Makoto told him

"Well them, let's do it" Deathstroke said ready to fight

Suddenly the world turned into a fight scenario from an old Final Fantasy battle time. Makoto was up first but due to his low health knew he had one shot

"Don't worry Makoto, you can do it!" Nicole said in support

"Cupcake!" The cupcake said jumping

"Okay what have got?" Makoto said and looked, he saw he had Fight, Blitz, Tools and Magic.

"Whatever you do won't be enough" Deathstroke taunted

"We will see Deathstroke! You're not the first sword wielder I have dealt with!" Makoto said


Fight

Makoto swings his sword and hits Deathstroke with 413 damage.

"Pathetic, try this" Deathstroke said as he uses bombs or in his case grenades and hurls them dealing 553 damage just over Makoto's HP.

Makoto falls down dead from it.

"Hard to believe you were the Ultimate Hope" Deathstroke said

Nicole facepalms and said "Out of all the options you chose fight? How boring." She resets


Magic

Makoto said "Well time to see if those magic lessons with Gundam paid off" He begins to chant a spell

"Not so fast" Deathstroke said as he uses a magic scroll to cast Reflect "Little something I borrowed from Circe."

Makoto casts fire but it bounces off the reflection back at him hitting him for 812 damage and KO'ing him

"Guess you need another term at magic school" Deathstroke said

"Gee that….BackFIREd" Nicole said with a grin "10/10 jokes here folks" She giggles and resets


Blitz

"Alright time to believe in myself!" Makoto calls out as he performs his Blitz move, Suplex

"Seriously?" Deathstroke said a little surprised

"I have been training with Sakura and she taught me a lot!" Makoto said as he moves in and successfully Suplexs Deathstroke for 643 damage

"Impressive but not enough!" Deathstroke said and uses chaingun. He fires a round and deals 1337 damage killing Makoto "Pathetic"

"Huh, I thought that would have done it" Nicole said shrugging and restarts


Tools

Makoto looks at his tools and saw he had a chainsaw with a Monokuma mask "This is going to be surreal."

"What are you talking about?" Deathstorke said

"You'll see!" Makoto said and uses the chainsaw that dealt 7253 damage.

"No! This can't be!" Deathstroke cried out as he slowly fades away.

"Yes I did it" Makoto said as he dances like the 8-bit final fantarsy characters as the victory fanfare goes, he eards 6475 exp and oh also got a tent, neat.

We come out the battle as Deathstroke badly hurt falls off the platform and down to the lower points of the airship.

"and that's that" Makoto said smiling as he wipes his sleeves

"All good, the main obstacle is out of the way but Lex is still getting away" Nicole said

"Cupcake!" The cupcake said

"Got it!" Makoto said and runs after the leader. He soon comes across a the end and sees a doorway lower down but over a wide gap "How did he make this jump?"

"No idea but I three things that could help" Nicole said showing a glider, Jet boots and some Beef up pills.

"Hmmmmm" Makoto thinks on it


Beef up

Makoto looks at the bottle of pills "Hmmmm instant leg muscles but how much do I take for fast acting?"

"Hmmmm just down the whole bottle?" Nicole said shrugging

"Alright" Makoto said and gulps down the whole plastic bottle of pills

Soon his legs shake and expande to musle man like legs ripping the pants legs of his pants Makoto looked amazed

"See nothing to it now..." Nicole said

Also of a sudden Makoto's legs shake again, then explode, seding makot's upper boade to the lower platform, he hits his head on it and falls down to his doom

Nicole sees the plastic bottle and finds the slogan and reads "Beefup! See results in up to 8 seconds!"

"Cupcake!" the cupcake said

"Yeah, this one is on me" Nicole said and resets


Jetboots

Makoto admires the boots that were oddly heavy "I think these are made of metal"

"You sure you want to use them?" Nicole asked concerned

"Better then nothing, hopfully the jets are powerful enough" Makoto said.

He activates them and slowly moves forward. Until he gets off the platform he was on, he is then falling down screaming and crashes into the stuff below

Nicole flinches a bit and said "Jetboots production notes: Find lighter material to construct boots out of" she then resets


Glider

"Nice and simple" Makoto aid holding onto it smiling

"Stick the landing Makoto" Nicole cheers with pom poms

Makoto takes a deep breath. He then moves and jumps and genlty glides down and sticks the landing on the lower platform. Nicole smiles and claps for Makoto who smile and bows.

"Good now lets get Luthor." Makoto said and enters the room.

The room ended up being the Cargo bay. Lex was running through while the guards in there stood by. Lex said "Don't just stand there! Help me you fools!"

Makoto enters and jump tackles Lex gripping him and pulls him to the cargo bay doors

"I got a shot!" A villain known as Two face said taking aim

"No!" a female villain known as Lady Shiva said "You may hit Luthor!" she was right Makoto had position himself right behind Lex as he dragged him back so not to be hurt

"So there is nothing we can do?" Scorpion said shocked

"I hate those!" Rito said as he stood in attack ready position

Two-face flips a coin and seeing the result said "Fine, I will wait for an opening"

"Okay Makoto get the cargo bay door open and we will be home free" Nicole said

"Got it" Makoto said and hits the open for the cargo bay

Lex said "Wait, hold on! Listen! You defeated my Right Hand Enforcer and the worlds most dangerous mercenary Deathstroke and you also defeated me. I am ashamed to admit it but you clearly are superior to me."

"What are you saying?" Nicole asked confused

"I am saying is this...if you let me go, I will surrender the airship and the title of leader of the Legion of Doom to you." Lex said albeit reluctantly.

"Wait…really? Me in charge of a whole organization of supervillains?" Makoto said shocked

"Yes, they will follow my command when I say you are our leader" Lex said nodding

As Makoto was thinking on this, the Republic Airship came into view and seeing them Jace said on the comm "Great work Makoto, now get out of there safely and bring Lex to us and we will give you and Kirigiri your lives back full pardon for you included."

"Well Makoto...I will go where you go?" Nicole said

"Wait really? You not trying to push me to stick with the original job?" Makoto said shocked

"I trust your judgement. But you should know you stick with the mission you paint a target on your back with the Legion of Doom but join them and we will become an enemy of the Republic." Nicole explained

Makoto nods and thinks carefully and soon he made his choice…

Makoto grips onto Lex more and said "Nice try Lex, but I am not going for it"

"But think about all you can accomplish with the legion at your beck and call!" Lex said

"Maybe but I ain't betraying Jace or Kirishima's trust just get get loyalty of criminals." Makoto said

"Fine then but how do you think you will escape here, your ride can't help you" Lex said smirking

The other villains smirk knowing reinforcements were coming soon.

"Makoto found something!" Nicole said and shows parachutes and a tank

Makoto thinks on this


Parachute

Makoto has Nicole put on a parachute and said "Hold on tight Lex!"

"Wait! What are you doing?!" Lex said really worried now.

Makoto jumps out the airship holding Lex Luthor who screams in panic. Makoto soon engages the chute which works unfortunately in the process Makoto lost grip of Lex

"NOOOOOOO!" Lex screams as he falls to the far off ground below

"Errr….whoops...my bad" Makoto said awkwardly

"Butterfingers" Nicole said to him

"Cupcake!" The cupcake said

"Yeah I know but we don't have any of the candy" Nicole said she rewinds


Tank

"Makoto look!" Nicole said to a large create marked 'Tank in a box'

"How lucky" Makoto said and kicks the box opening it to reveal a large green and black striped tank. "Time for a ride!"

"You can't be serious!" Lex said as he is forced into the tank

"Just sit back and enjoy the ride Lex" Makoto said as he stomps him down. He climbs in and shuts the lid.

Two-Face open fires on the tank but his bullets do nothing. Makoto reverses the tank out the cargo bay and it falls, the Republic Airship follows

The Tank lands surprisingly okay with no major damage, it was very well made and no wonder Makoto noticed a label for Stark Industries.

Makoto gets out and sees the airship land. Jace, Scout and Kirishima emerge out of the airship and Makoto pulls Lex out and said "Someone order one supervillain genius?"

"Heh heh, yes right here" Jace said with a chuckle.

"I can't believe, I was 75 percent sure you would double cross us" Scout said surprised

"Shows what you know, hand him over Makoto" Nicole said smiling

"Still time to change your mind, you really think the Republic would will just let you go?" Lex said to him

"Enough you" Makoto said and shoves Lex to Jace

Jace holds him "Lex Luthor, you been most wanted number 1 for a while and you were taken down by a kid with a lot of luck, embarrassing"

"It matters not, the Legion of Doom will survive without me" Lex tells him

"For now, anyway as for you Makoto" Jace said and looks at him before smiling sincerely and looks to Kirishima "Hand it to him Kirishima"

"Sure thing boss" Kirishima said and goes to Makoto and hands him a piece of paper, it reads that Makoto Naegi is now cleared of all charges for all past crimes he committed, sighed Jedi Master Satele Shan

"Woah? Jedi Master, and here I was thinking it would be the Grand Chancellor" Nicole said surprised

"Yeah well the current one isn't one to forgive and me and Satele go a long way." Jace said as he hands Lex to Scout who takes him to the airship "Anyway, Kirigiri is in a base just west of here" He points and turns to leave.

"Wait! You are not going to give me a lift!" Makoto said

"You have your own ride!" Jace said pointing to the tank

"We can keep this?!" Nicole asked shocked

"Cupcake!" The Cupcake said bouncing

"Call it a bonus for not betraying my trust, after all bringing you in was all my idea" Jace said as he gets on the airship and it takes off

Makoto smiles and said "Amazing"

"Let's go" Nicole said

and soon the too drive off into the desert in the tank all the way to the Republic outpost who were expecting him and released Kirigiri. The two embrace and as they drive into the sunset Makoto tells them what they did


Meanwhile on the Legion of Doom airship. The villains were argueing amongst themselves. Who would lead them now.

Suddenly a door opens and out walks out Deathstroke who was not cyperneticly enhanced his misting eye had a red optic and his right arm and both his legs as well as most of his torso was robotic

"S-Slade...you look...you look great" Rito said nervous

"Where is Luthor?" Deathstroke said with a glare

"H-He was taken, he is now under Republic arrest" Mystero said

"I see...well then...as I was his number 2, I will assume control" Deathstorke said

"Hang on why you?" Scorpion asked only to get a sword near his throat "Oh...okay I accept"

"We well continue operations as normal, the planning group have some ideas coming and first chance I get...I am going to get back at that kid" Deathtroke said as he leaves the bridge

Makoto may be happy now but an old enemy more powerful then before is coming and he has to be ready.

The End (4/5)


Well in this timeline Makoto didn't betray the Republic's trust but painted a target on his back with the Legion of Doom, but just one route left, one where Makoto goes slightly off focus.

Please Read and Review. Thank you.
