A/N: Hey guys, I'm back. And I don't know what to write, but I feel like updating. Just for you. Hell yeah, I am a generous one, I know. Well, nothing much to say about this chapter. A few reactions, and maybe a quest...I wanna make a GMG arc as soon as possible. Thank you all for your reviews, they most likely mean a lot to me. Enjoy!
I looked disappointed at Erza's unconscious body. "She wasn't so strong at all...hah, I'm bored.", I said. "Splendid fight, Master.", commented Genos. "Thanks.", I just said, walking back into the guild, passing many mages, disbelief and shock written all over their faces. "Unbelievable.", they all muttered. Genos and me just ignored them and walked into the building, looking towards the bar. "You hungry?", I asked. "A little.", admitted Genos.
A few moments later this girl called Mira appeared behind the bar and smiled her bright – trademark? - smile. "What can I do for you?", she asked. "We just want something to eat.", I said. "Do you want something special or is a normal menu okay?", asked Mira. "Ah, anything will do.", I simply said. "Of course", she smiled and disappeared, only to return a few minutes later, carrying a tray stuffed with food and two mugs. "Dig in!", she giggled.

"So...what do you wanna do now?", asked Mira. "Hm?", I mumbled; speaking was impossible, my mouth was stuffed with food right now. "I mean, will you join a team? Or will you go on missions alone?" "Hm, we don't know our ways around here yet. Master and I will probably stick to Lucy.", answered Genos. I nodded. "So you join Team Natsu?", asked Mira. I began to cough; agitated I had choked on my food. "What?!", I exclaimed. "Who is on this team anyways?", I asked. "Lucy, Natsu, Erza, Gray and occasionally Wendy.", smiled Mira, clearly ignoring the fact that I openly despised Natsu. "Master, just for a few missions. We need some funds, after that we can focus on more urgent issues.", intervened Genos. I sighed. "Ah, you're right. But I don't wanna...", I sighed again.

Finally convinced, I walked towards the table Team Natsu sat at; Erza and Natsu were yet to wake up. "Hey.", I just said as a greeted. A black-haired boy, the blue cat and Lucy looked at us. "What do you want?", asked the boy, sounding a little hostile. "Calm down, calm down.", I said. "We thought it may be a good idea if we joined a team, and yours was recommended.", said Genos. "By Mira, I suppose.", sighed the boy. "I'm Gray, and the cat is Happy." "Aye!", said Happy. "But I'm an Exceed, not a cat, Gray!", it bickered. "Yeah, yeah." Gray waved his hand. "Urgh.", moaned Erza.
Moaning Erza opened her eyes and looked around. She was lying on a table, next to Natsu. Who was naked. Blushing Erza looked up, just to see the faces of her team, as well as a stern face of a man with strange eyes and the plain face of something that most likely was a human. "G-Genos? Saitama?", she asked. We both nodded. After a few moments of thinking, Erza jumped up and pointed at me. "Y-you!", she shouted. "Huh?", I just answered. Was she angry or what? "What's with that power? Are you even a human?" "I'm a guy who is a hero for fun. And money, sometimes.", I proudly said. She sweatdropped.
"Master is a biological human, whereas I am a cyborg.", said Genos. "C-Cyborg? What's that?", asked Erza. "I am a human who has machine parts. To be correct, my brain is human. My body is a machine." "A machine? So you are running on pure magic?", asked Erza. "Incorrect. I am running on electricity, produced by my reactor. Neither Master nor I possess what you call 'magic'.", said Genos, shocking her. Erza nearly fainted.
After she recovered a little, she looked wary at us. "Both of you ain't wizards, mages, sorcerers, warlocks or anything? Why do you want to join a guild? And how did you even defeat us?!", she said agitated and confused. "We're searching for a way back to our own world.", I said, but before explaining the matter further, the annoying creature called Natsu woke up. "Huh? Where am I?" He looked at us. "Did I lose? What about Erza?", he asked. "I lost, too.", she said. He looked at me. "So you are strong? Fight me!", he yelled with a wide grin. "Nah, don't wanna.", I said bored.
‑
"Eh? What?", said Natsu distracted. "Let me explain: you lost against me, fighting you not even at full strength. Since I am far weaker than my Master, he would end the fight in a blink." "I don't fight boring fights.", I added. Natsu looked confused at us, but Erza intervened by coughing. "So what do you want exactly?" "Ah, right. We wanted to join your team and go on a mission!", I said. "What?!", yelled Erza. "Sure, no problem!", Natsu said at the same time.
"Natsu, that's impossible! They don't possess magic power!", shouted Erza. "But they defeated you and me. They also seem to be nice people." I nodded with my friendliest grin – obviously not convincing enough. Genos' face was nearly expressionless, as usual. "You could take them with us on one simple mission, Erza.", suggested Lucy. "I'm all for it!", said Natsu. "I'm okay with it. They're strong enough.", commented Gray. "Aye!", said Happy. It seemed to be his catchphrase. Erza sighed in defeat. "Okay, but I don't want to save your sorry asses in the end."

Soon enough she had chosen a mission. It was labeled 'S-Class' and seemed to be more difficult; maybe she wanted to test our abilities. We had to take a train for hours, then we would wake through a desert for a day, until we would arrive at a place full of ruins, where we had to fight giant abominations. "Sounds easy to me.", I said, slightly excited. Maybe the monsters would be strong, after all. "I am just curious.", said Genos. "I'm sick.", said Natsu, looking pale. "Worst case of motion sickness there is.", said Lucy to us. We shrugged our shoulders. Pathetic.
"We could still walk.", I suggested. "We're not as fast as you! By the way, how fast can you actually go?", said Gray. "Well, I never tried running with over sonic speed...but I guess both of us are close to it.", I said proudly. Everyone else gulped. "We normal humans are a little slower.", said Erza. "Hey! You're not normal! You are wizards! I'm the normal one here!", I yelled. Everyone else sweatdropped. "Definitely not.", they sad in unison.

The journey was boring so far. We just sat in a train compartment, but nothing happened. We rode the train for a good four hours, but still had three to go. I sighed. "I'm hungry. And bored. Won't something happen?" "Well, train rides are the best when they are boring, everything else is an accident.", said Lucy. A few moments later, a giant explosion was heard. "Huh?", I said.
"Everybody be calm, this is a robbery!" "Any of you fucking pricks move, I shoot him in the fucking face!" Different voices could be heard all over the train. After a few moments, a pair of armed robbers stood in our door, demanding all our valuables. "Put all your money in this bag!", yelled one. "Sorry, I'm poor, I don't have any.", I said with a – sad – smile. "You fucking kidding me?!", the robber yelled. I shook my head. "All I have is my clothes and a delicious punch." "Delicious punch? I don't see a bottle." "Oh, you can have some of this tasty beverage. It's called 'consecutive series of non-serious punches'." Before the robber could say anything, I unleashed my attack."
‑
Maybe I had overdid it a little. I made a lame joke, used one of my special moves, killed some people and accidentally destroyed a train. "Great! Now we have to walk!", yelled Lucy, overreacting. "Great! Now we have to walk!", yelled Natsu happy. A little confused Genos and I began walking down the tracks, the others following us. Just once Lucy turned back and said: "I thought the others were bad, but this is horrible...poor Master."
Yeah, I really made one hell of a job.
‑
We had walked for days – thanks to Lucy, again. Well, it wasn't days, just one, but at least Lucy was totally exhausted when we arrived at the town. It was late in the evening, but we still managed to find an inn where we could stay the night. We hastily ate and went to bed, trying to sleep enough for the mission.
After a short night and an even shorter – and not very nutritious – breakfast we began our walk through the desert. "If we keep this up, we will arrive in the afternoon. The ruins harbor some huge creatures, seemingly wyverns. It would be the best if we gang up on them.", said Erza. "Oh, they are so strong?", I asked happy. "Yes. However, knowing you...you might be a little disappointed.", she said. "As long as it isn't one punch again...", I muttered. Everyone sweatdropped.
‑
We arrived at the ruins and immediately spotted the monster, giant, dragon-like beasts. "Well, let's see how strong they really are.", I sighed and leaped next to one. I drew my arm back, throwing a serious punch. A giant dustcloud appeared and a loud bang echoed through the town. When the dust cleared, the wyvern stood there, seeming unfazed. I grinned, until the image of the wyvern faded away. "What the fuck is that?", I shouted. Genos walked towards. "Analyzing the fight based on my data your punch obliterated the beast immediately, destroying it completely. You killed it so fast, that an afterimage appeared, Master.", said Genos. "How is that even possible?!", I yelled. "Hey! We could need some help here!", yelled Lucy. I turned around and saw that every wyvern had ganged up on the rest.
"Hah, what a boring fight.", I said. I sat on top of a huge hill, made of wyvern cadavers. "So, what is the reward for this mission anyways?", I asked. "1,500,000J.", gulped Erza. "Well, that is...too much for everyone of us.", I said, trying to hide that I did not now the exact number. "It is about 214,285J for everyone, cat included.", said Genos. "I'm not a cat!", yelled Happy. "Hey, do you want a fish?", I asked smugly. "Yes!", yelled Happy with hungry eyes. "Cat spotted.", I said. "Natsu! The bald guy is mean! He is like Lucy!", he whined, running to Natsu. "Don't you dare defy my hair!", I yelled. "Don't call me mean!", yelled Lucy. After a few seconds everyone broke out into a laughing fit.

The ride back was uneventful. The tracks had been restored, so we all arrived safely in Magnolia. Except for Natsu, of course. Stupid motion sickness, but he deserves it in my opinion. When we entered the guild, we heard someone weeping. The guild master stood at the bar, crying while reading a letter. "Gramps! What happened?", asked Natsu concerned. He looked up. "You happened! 1,2 million Jewel in damages!" Our jaws slacked. "My my, those two are a perfect fit for the team.", smiled Mira in the background.
