Genos's battle with Mosquito girl had taken a turn for the worst. He hadn't been expecting her to be this much more powerful in her Full Blood Form, but she was laying into him. He was down to one arm, one leg, and had large gashes in his shoulders and sides. He was beginning to think the only solution would be to resort to his self-destruction feature. The energy would surely be enough to destroy her, but that the cost of his life.
Mosquito girl flew down at him. He planned to detonate the moment she made contact; but she never did. Her attack was knocked off course by something, a fast moving projectile that neither of them had seen coming.
Turning, the mutant lashed out in anger, swiping her claws through the air and letting the force of her claws bring down the building in front of her. She assumed that whatever had shot her was dead now, not knowing that it was actually several building away, and the second hero who'd come to deal with her, third if Genos could be counted at the moment, was atop the building in the opposite direction.
Lightning Max jumped down from the building, landing on Mosquito girl with his Lightning Kick attack, the explosion combined with his kick sending her down a little as he was launched back onto the railing of the building.
"Seems there's more than one pest here to deal with." She hissed up at him. "I'm hurt," Lightning Max said mockingly, "Or, from you, is that meant as a compliment?" He questioned, feigning a curious expression.
Mosquito girl flew up at him, getting hit from behind by an Incineration Ball from Genos. The blast knocked her into the wall, and on her way down she was slammed into by Lightning Max's Giant Wheel Double Heel Kick, both of his feet smashing into her face and both kicks detonating to send her down.
Before she could retaliate, another shot from Golden Ball was fired; this one a bursting pellet that enveloped her in first. Mosquito girl realized too late that their numbers and tactics were overwhelming her. She needed to focus on one target, and the one firing from a distance seemed like the one to deal with first.
She turned her attention to him, getting hit by a combo attack of Geno's Rocket Punch from the rock and Lightning Max's Flying Reverse Roundhouse Lightning Kick from behind. The combination of the attacks left her dazed long enough for Golden Ball to take out one of his Shape Memory Golden Bullets and firing it.
The bullet shot clean through her spine, leaving her unable to move as Genos finished her off with Max Power Incinerate, Lightning Max rushing up the side of the building out of range of the intense fire blast that melted the street beneath Mosquito girl and left the mutant a charred, dead, mess.
"Thank you for the assistance," Genos said, "The monster was more powerful than I anticipated. I've found that I have a bad habit of underestimated my foes." "I'll say," Lightning Max said, "If you were trying to take a demon on alone."
"Never seen you out before," Golden Ball said as he walked over, "You just signed up with the Hero's Association, or are you not with them at all yet?" "I am not a registered hero, no," Genos said, "I see no point in it."
"Save lives, get money, be awesome, what more point could you need?" Lightning Max asked. "I have my own goals that require my attention." Genos said. "And being a hero wouldn't interrupt it. At least no more than whatever monster killing you'd be doing anyway would. Might even help it along since you'd have some money to help out." Golden Ball said.
"But we can worry about that later. Bugsy did a hell of a number on you. Got somewhere you go to get repaired? We'll help you there." Lightning Max said. "I can make it back to the lab alright, but once again, thank you." Genos said, turning to walk, limp, or perhaps hobble and eventually crawl back to the lab.
Sighing, Golden Ball and Lightning Max held onto him to keep him from tipping forward and face planting into the street, "Where is it you gotta go? We're helping you and you can just deal with it." Lightning Max said. Genos was not used to other people actually helping him. Perhaps he could look into this Hero's Association thing..
"Mosquito Girl was defeated." Dr. Genus sighed, "Cause of death?" "She was beaten by a team of three heroes." The clone said, "Two A classes and one unknown, a cyborg with fire based powers. She'd managed to clear out most of a city before she was beaten. Even obtained a special form centered around her blood production that might have reached dragon level if allowed to continue her rampage."
Dr. Genus had been away of the possibility for a transformation, but hadn't been certain until he had seen it. It always made him happy to find abilities in his mutants that he hadn't specifically programmed in. It was as though nature and science were working together to slowly but surely create the perfect human being. And they would succeed soon, they were sure of it.
"Dispatch a small drone team to gather her remains. Her DNA will be useful for further study and development." Dr. Genus said as he scrolled through images of the heroes at the Heroes Association. He'd opened the file to get a look at two of the heroes who'd killed Mosquito Girl, but, as usual, his train of thought ran off course when he scrolled over the image of S class rank 8: Zombieman.
"Send a second team as well, a combat unit," Dr. Genus told to the clone, "I think it's finally time we pay our old friend a visit. He's long overdo for a check up."
