Chapter 1

At the Heroes Association.

For once, Sitch didn't call the meeting. It was at the request of Metal Knight. Much of the S class appeared that felt it was important. With the exception of Blast, Puri Puri Prisoner, and Watchdog Man. Yet as they sat around the table, rumblings were heard.

"You know what this is about?" asked Metal Bat.

"Not a clue. Metal Knight doesn't show up to these things unless he calls for the meeting or happens to be in the area." Said Zombieman.

"Still, it's a waste of time if you ask me!" muttered Tatsumaki.

Sitch entered the room and was then followed by Metal Knight. The robot remained standing as it explained the reason why the conference was called. "I have some… disturbing news." The table became all ears. "It saddens me to say… Garou the human monster and Melee Brawler… have been killed."

"WHAT!" demanded Metal Bat.

"How do you know this?" questioned Genos.

"Who or what brought them down!" demanded Silverfang.

"It was I." Confessed Metal Knight.

BASH!

The table was suddenly destroyed as Metal Bat smashed his weapon of choice into it. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU STUPID PIECE OF CHROME SHIT!"

"It was accidental," Metal Knight said. "They had wondered to my research facility in City K. Due to their DNA they triggered my defense system. My system does not stop… until the threat is eliminated."

"Why would they be in City K? There's hardly any monsters there, and they usually go where the monsters are to feed Garou," said Child Emperor.

Silverfang began to tremble with heartache and rage. He shook his head to it all before finally finding his words. "This is unacceptable!" shouted Silverfang. "What punishment do you have planned for him? I say he is kicked out of the association!"

"With all due respect Bang, this was an accident, he had no intention of killing them. However, there is now concern for their children. They are without a mother and father."

The rage subsided for the moment. Metal Bat them raised his hand. "I'll take them in."

"These children are not typical Metal Bat, they are beyond your capabilities. As well, what will you do if they become like their father?" questioned Metal Knight. "No, someone of more experience should be tending to these children."

"Then I will take them," announced Silverfang.

"The man who trained Garou, who became the human monster in the first place, no that is not a wise course of action. I am prepared to take the children if the association sees fit." Said Metal Knight. "I have the facilities to house them and allow their growth to occure…"

"That won't be necessary."

The room froze when they heard the voice of Garou, yet in a much softer tone. Pac stood in the room with his siblings. Dressed in his father's old clothing, the triplets stood as strong and composed as they could. "We… we are not going to burden heroes with the responsibility of taking care of us. No, we are the children of Garou and Melee Brawler… we will take care of ourselves, yet, if Sitch is okay with this. We would like to stay in the association for some time until we are comfortable enough to go home."

Sitch rose from his chair. "Of course, we will be more than happy to accommodate you three! In fact, come with me, let me show you to the quarters."

As they left the room, Metal Knight turned to leave. "Why going so soon?" asked Tatsumaki. "Is this meeting over already? Is that all you got to say?"

"I have other business to attend to."

However Silverfang was confused. "How did those children grow up so fast? I saw them just a while ago, they appeared no more than ten years old. How did they become teenagers?"

"A mystery I would say, perhaps it would be worth observing them." Said Metal Knight.

"You sound like the bastard that made me into this," uttered Zombieman. "I don't think I like the way you speak of those kids."

Metal Knight didn't say anything more as he walked out of the room. Metal Bat glared at him all the while until the robot left. He dislodged his bat from the table before looking to those who still sat around it. "We better keep an eye on the triplets." Said Bad.

Most of the table nodded in agreement with him.
