Chapter 2- competition.
The Fubuki group, top of the Class B heroes was having a rough time. For one, every bounty they have gone after has been caught long before they make an attempt. Second, their targets were usually in their area, third, it's the same story each and every time. The Fubuki group knows to work well with each other to obtain and trap various targets. Bounties in particular were a group effort. They take their time planning and back up plans should one fail in taking down the bounty. Yet, the moment they figure out how they would go in and capture the target… it was already caught!
It hasn't happened just once now. But ten time!
Blizzard was getting fet up with it all. Each time she sends her team out, they return empty handed. "What is wrong with all of you? These are class C bounties and not one of you can secure it!" she demanded.
Her legions looked down at the floor shamefully. "It's not that we aren't trying Miss Blizzard. Someone is getting to them before us!"
"No one is faster than us, we have people all over the cities, how can someone beat us to the punch?" she demanded. For a moment, she thought it could have been the work of Saitama, however, bounties aren't usually his thing. Still, what is moving faster and more coordinated than her own team? They are the top of the B class heroes, she wondered though if it was a new upstart of a hero trying to get their ranks up.
"Chief…" said Eyelashes. "A new one has come up… the Monster Princess has appeared."
Blizzard stood. "We go now, everyone stay together. I don't want any mistakes like last time!" she called.
She gathered her strongest team members into the black car. From there they sped off to where the Monster Princess has shown up. The people were fleeing the area, however, she has already snagged a few victims. "Yes, fight to the death for my love! Please your Princess!" she called. The dominatrix monster already set her claw in the people, men were fighting bloody battles just because she told them too. Monster Princess suddenly noticed the Fubuki group, she began to laugh aloud to their appearance. "I was hoping you would come!"
She cracked her whip, suddenly, they came out in droves. A Class heroes all trapped under her spell, began to lurch forward at first. "No… How could she have taken all these A class heroes down?" muttered Fubuki.
"Take them, all of them, take the Fubuki group and bring them to me! They will be my slaves… Leave the Blizzard of Hell to me!" called Princess.
The A class began to dash right towards them, yet she appeared.
Out of nowhere was Melee Brawler! She rushed in head on into the turned heroes. Merely striking various points before they dropped to the streets, unable to move.
Princess Monster froze, she stared at Melee and bore and angry look in her eyes. "You! I was told to kill you on sight!"
"Yeah, I get that a lot." Said Melee. "Bring it, bitchcakes!"
Princess Monster lined her shot, snapping her whip she aimed for Melee, but Melee was remarkably fast, faster than usual. She could avoid the lashes and even sent a few of her shurikens towards Princess in hopes of cutting her whip. But those too were deflected with ease.
"Hey! This is MY bounty!" protested Fubuki.
"Stay the hell out of the way!" snapped Melee. "We got this!"
Fubuki froze. "We?" she demanded.
Princess monster appeared just as confused. "Who else fights with you?" she demanded.
The shadow appeared overhead. It caught everyone's attention as it landed on the other side of the Monster Princess, blocking her exit if she were to run. At first, no one knew who or what came, Fubuki however began to see the features of this creature.
A tall, slender and yet tone person, their body covered in scales and coiled serpents, the only human feature about it was its face, yet bore blood red eyes and jagged teeth. The human monster arrived. "Garou…" Fubuki whispered.
But was he here to help the Monster Princess? Why else would he be here? He is still a level dragon threat to the population! Fubuki began to think she was in over her head, two monsters have gathered now. Yet, what the Monster Princess said, made her blood run cold. "Oooo, it is you! You look so much better than before!" she said to Garou. Then she snapped her whip. "I can't wait to make you mine!"
As she brought back her whip, Melee launched an attack, sending small blades right at the arms of Monster Princess, but once more, they were deflected! "I am sick of you!" she turned very suddenly and lashed her whip. She missed Melee completely yet got the Fubuki group!
"Damn it, not again!" muttered Blizzard.
Melee however was quick to take them down, striking chakra points and rendering them unconscious. When she turned, Garou was making his move. He rushed towards Monster Princess dodging her lashes with ease, he was nearly at her when she suddenly snapped her wrist, bringing her whip back to her in an instant, then, striking Garou across the chest!
"GAROU!" cried Melee.
He hit the ground hard, at first he didn't move, but when he did, he moaned. "My… My princess…"
The Monster Princess jumped with glee. "I got him! I got the hero hunter at my beck and call!" She then turned to Melee with a devious look in her eyes. "Oh, this is perfect… Garou… rise my love, rise!" she cooed.
Slowly, he stood under his own power, he turned to her yet his eyes were closed. "My Princess…" he said in a swooning voice.
"Yes… for now… You will make me your queen when this is all over. Now, come to me, embrace your Queen!"
He stumbled towards her, all the while he whispered. "My princess… my queen,"
Blizzard stood at the ready, if she could hold them off for the time being, perhaps there will still be a chance to stop the two. However, she turned to Melee oddly, she didn't appear the least bit concerned. In fact, she began to smile the moment Garou made his way to Princess and braced her in his arms. "Yes, that's it. You love me. You adore me, and do anything for me…" She looked over her shoulder. "Kill Melee Brawler for me!"
Garou didn't move, instead he braced her even tighter and said. "But I'm not IN love with you."
His eyes opened, there was no enchantment to them as his tail coiled around the Monster princess, forcing her to drop her whips. The look in her eyes was priceless.
Melee killed over laughing her ass off. "Oh man, I thought for a moment that was all a little too corny of acting. But NOPE! It was perfect!"
Princess Monster however struggled and refused to believe she was duped. "But I struck you! I hit you! You were to be MY slave!" she protested.
Garou smirked. "It's like you don't know me at all!"
Melee began to pick her whips off the ground, she gave them a good snap before considering keeping them. "Not bad, good material… but I am not a whipping kind of girl."
"Too bad," Garou said with a smirk.
"Grow up," she snapped back and began to cut up the Princess's whips.
"No, you bitch, those are mine!" But then, she realized she was in the coils of Garou, the monster who eats other monsters. She began to panic. "Wait… no… you… you won't eat me… now would you?"
He appeared to think it over, but there was a look of disinterest on Garou's face. "Meh, I don't like eating anything that looks too human like." He said.
She appeared relieved, that was until the serpent head on his tail began staring at her. Garou turned. "Just because I don't eat human like things… doesn't mean there isn't a part of me that does."
Fubuki had to swallow her scream, it took both her hands to prevent the shriek of terror escaping out of her. Garou's tail did just that, it's jaw wrapped around Do-S. Despite her protest and struggle, she began to vanish up into the serpent. Garou and Melee then did something odd. They posed for a picture, both lifting their middle finger as Do-S vanished into Garou's demonic serpent tail. With a flick of it, Monster Princess vanished, Garou's tail appeared no worst for wear. Let alone appear as if it were hiding a body in itself. He coiled it around his hip and appeared content. "So, lunch?" asked Melee.
Garou thought it over. "Yeah, I could go for lunch."
The two walked away like it was nothing out of the ordinary. Fubuki was quick to call the heroes Association to report the incident. "How can these two be allow to walk the streets?!" were the first words out of her mouth.
