Chapter 1

It was a call to arms.

The S class, A Class and M class were summoned to the Heroes Association, mainly to be shown the recent discovery. "We have figured the monsters are intending on rebuilding their legions. Most recently we learned they have been targeting children. Thanks to the quick work of the M Class Dragons, all the children were found safely!" Sitch paused. "We have also found a stash of monster cells in the abandoned train station where the monsters had taken the children and were using the tunnels to get about the cities. I will let Child Emperor take it from here."

Child Emperor brought up computer screens and data sheets onto a massive TV. "The cells have changed," he announced. "We found that they are far more potent than before, the last generation of cells couldn't control what class threat people turned into when consumed. Now, they do," the room fell into whispers. "If an average person consumes these cells, their power becomes automatic demon. A person with great skills, talents, abilities and or strength becomes an automatic dragon level threat."

"How many cells are there?" questioned Genos.

"We managed to secure over 100,000 cells… but, we are made aware that there are more. Destroying them is also a lot more difficult. Heat was used the last time, but now, the cells are resistant. Tatsumaki has destroyed nearly half of what we have secured. But even she is contending with these…"

Child Emperor paused as Garou approached one of the containers of pulsing monster cells. He appeared rather unimpressed with what he saw. So, he plucked one up and held it in his hand and stared at it oddly. The room fell into a collective gasp when he tossed one into his mouth! He chewed on it for a while before swallowing. The room stood on edge as his stomach moaned and gave a rather demonic sounding growl. Garou then began to look sick, he held his stomach oddly, his left side suddenly bulged, then his right. He tried to contain the growth growing inside of him, but only cried out in agony! "AAAAHHHH!" he screamed.

"Dear God man, why did you do that!" demanded Sitch.

The heroes stood nervously at the ready. "GAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHA!" Garou cries of pain quickly changed to laughter. "I'm just messing with you!"

The room went slacked jawed.

His swelling went down, he appeared no worst for ware, but still, he snickered to their reaction. "The looks on your faces, that was worth it. But seriously, you think a monster cell is going to change me? I'M ALREADY ONE!"

"Why is he even here again?" demanded Amai Mask.

"Well, we found a new method of disposing the cells." Said Child Emperor.

"Be that as it may, our main objective now is to find who or what is mass producing these and stop them. If any of you find anything, please, report it and share your information." Said Sitch.

The heroes were dismissed. Garou turned to Melee who rolled her eyes at him. "You always have to make a scene or scare the shit out of everyone."

Garou's smile only grew. "I got to have SOME fun!" curiosity got the better of him as he went back to the display of monster cells. He ate three more. "Wow, four of these things and I feel satisfied, who knew?"

"We'll pack the rest to go, we got to get the kids."

Melee and Garou went to the cafeteria. There the triplets sat and ate with Zenko. However, there was something off. Zenko appeared rather annoyed, there was another kid standing by the table, his had short curly orange hair and dressed in a suit. "You should do as I say, my dad donates to the heroes association. He pays your brother. So I can do whatever I want!"

Zenko stood. "For the last time, they are not monsters, you are not fighting any of them just to claim you did!"

"You wouldn't win anyways," said Hunter.

But the boy refused to leave them alone. Garou was about to step in, but Melee held him back. "They got this," she said.

"You forget. MY FATHER keeps this place running!"

"A whole 7%, yeah, that keeps the lights on," said Alley.

The kid was getting upset, he was nearly turning red in the face. "I want to fight a monster, and I am going to fight one of you. I am not leaving until I do!"

Suddenly Zenko stood up. "Excuse me, I am going to get more juice… That's WAY at the back in the cafeteria. I won't see anything happening here." With that said she got up and left.

The moment she was out of sight, Pac stood. Armed with his chopsticks from lunch. He turned to the orange haired kid. "I know who you are. Waganma." The kid froze. "You want to fight, do your best. But I can tell you this, I only need these to beat you." Pack held up his chopstick. It infuriated Waganma as he charged right at Pac.

The kid had no coordination. Pac easily avoided the spoil brat's charge and pinched him in the side for good measures. Waganma then turned to throw a punch. Pac once more blocked the blow with his chopsticks, only to use them once more as he slip his hand under, grabbing the kid by the thumb and twisted. Waganma was on his knees!

"Nice," muttered Garou.

Pac held the kid there as he cried to be let go. Pac appeared to think it over. "I'll let you got… if you leave us alone. If not. I may break your thumb."

"Please, I'll go, I'll go!"

Pac released him. The kid began to cry, but saw someone from afar. "DADDY!" sprinting to his feet, he rushed to his father. "Daddy, there are monsters here! Over there at that table!"

Pac tossed away his chopstick as Waganma's father, Narinki glared at the table. But once he saw their eyes, he believed his son. "WE GOT MONSTERS IN THE BUILDING!"

Bad came into the cafeteria, Zenko returned with four juice boxes as Narinki rushed to Metal Bat. "Do your job! Get rid of those monsters!" he said and pointed to the table.

Bad turned to the Triplets before turning back to Narinki. "Yeah, I got this," he approached the table with his bat in hand. "You know why I'm here…" he placed the bat down before reaching into his jacket. He took out 3 cards. "Zenko's birthday party, next Saturday at the beach. Bring sunscreen and swimming gear!"

"Hey!" protested Narinki. "Aren't you an S Class? Do something!"

Metal Bat turned. "Why not speak with their parents if you got a beef!"

Melee then gave the nod to Garou, now it was time to step in.

"Fine! Bring me the parents of those little…."

Garou grabbed on to the man's shoulders, then slightly dug his fingers in, just so he knew he was there. "Little tykes? You were going to say that, right? For your sake, agree with me."

Slowly, Narinki turned and came face to face with Garou. "The… the… human monster…"

"Whatever, now, how about you go and finish your little tour, take your snot nosed punk of a son with you, and leave my family alone so they can enjoy their lunch."

Narinki stepped back, despite the other heroes in the room, he found none were willing to do a thing about the Monster Garou! "I'm being attacked here! Someone defend me!"

Heroes looked but none lifted a finger. "You would know when I've attacked you… you wouldn't be on your feet." Warned Garou.

Narinki glared. "What kind of a place lets monsters roam free like this?" he then turned to the triplets. "Let alone allow them to reproduce!"

POW

The room jumped as Garou struck Narinki! He flew across the room! Yet, before he could hit the wall, he was caught. Garou stopped him mere millimeters before he would hit the concrete face first.

Instead, he jerked Narinki up to look him dead in the eyes. "You WILL hit the wall next time!" Garou roared. He then tossed him to the side and went back to his family.

Narinki was winded, sore and possibly broke a rib. However he wasn't going to let the matter rest. "I'LL HAVE YOU DEMOTED!"

Garou smirked. He didn't even turn around.

Instead, he flipped him off.
