Follow Me
Chapter 6 (Part 2) : A Small Fry
Tatsumaki fled from her room, proceeding to the Main Hall. She studied her surroundings, observing every little things outside her room. She gritted her teeth, crushing her fist.
"So this is his plan... to make me nervous!? That won't work for me." The esper thought, slowly levitating around corners.
"If this is his doing, it's really stupid." The girl stopped flying ahead, putting her feet on the ground below her.
"What is this feeling..." Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes on the dark columns of the building.
* DON'T DO IT *
"WHO'S THERE?!" The esper recoiled, backing from her previous position, a sweat ran down on her forehead.
* HELP ME! *
"SHOW YOURSELF!" The girl shouted, gritting her teeth.
* DON'T GO *
"This is so familiar...!" Tatsumaki then realized it. She is in one of her trances. Although, it feels so real to be in a trance. She pinched her face, but she's not waking up. It's the same as that dream she had with Saitama. She lifted a small lamp and smacked it on her forehead. Only to do nothing.
"Why am I not waking up!?" She thought, suddenly, the entire building shook tremendously. Lights from the ceiling are cracking and each of them falling closer to her position. She flicked her arms on the air, to only do nothing. This is it, she thought. This is the time where it all ends. The time that she loses her powers... the dreadful day she was expecting.
"Oh crap..." She flinched, as she tried to run outside the windows, as the broken pairs of lights adjacently fell over her direction, each exploding over and over again. The ground below her started to crack, immediately, she jumped onto the large appliances that came her way. She saw the window, brightly reflecting the lights that reflected unto it. However, the floor below her continued to expand and expand and started cracking, immediately falling over on what it seems to be a fiery landscape. The heat caused the esper to sweat tremendously, rocks falling in front of her. A tear trickled on her face.
"Please, not today!" She thought as she ran for the exit. The floor below her stopped expanding, but continued to crack and fall. The esper kicked the windows of the building, sadly didn't do anything.
"Stop!" She shouted, as she desperately kicked the glass window. A figure behind her appeared, swiping its hands to cause a giant tremor that broke off the windows. Tatsumaki gave a loud gasp, instantaneously jumping from the fallen building. The sunlight turned to black, everything in her sight was destruction, fires everywhere, dead people lying on the street, smoking trails of every buildings in Japan.
"Aagh!" She shouted, everything turned slow motion. She flailed her arms side by side, trying to land on a nearby high building. Sadly, her heels fell as she slipped over the air. Missing a few centimeters from the building.
"No-!" She thought, as she was swept by a shadowy figure. She mourned in pain, her tears flying in the air.
"Please stop! Huh?!" She shouted as she gazed over the shadowy figure, now carrying her bridal style.
"Who... are you?" She asked as she wiped her cheeks.
"Just an average hero for fun." The figure said, smiling, as he carried her with one hand and proceeded to tackle a building down for a way.
"..." Tatsumaki thought as she stared in awe of the figure.
"You know this is a dream right? But hey, atleast I conquered my fear of you." The figure said, gazing over the esper's green pupils. She slowly tried to unveil the figure's hood.. As he swiped her arms.
"Don't, you'll blow my cover!" The figure said in a decent tone, smirking.
"So you're the one who called me over the phone?" Tatsumaki asked, crossing her arms.
"What phone?" The figure asked, flicking his hands in front of him.
"You know! You warned me that this will happen!" The esper glared.
"I didn't. I don't even know your number" The hooded figure replied.
"What!? You're the jerk who keeps calling me telling me to not trust McCoy!" The esper shouted.
"I DIDN'T CALL YOU!" The figure shouted, revealing a pretty familiar face.
"YOU!?" Tatsumaki shouted in shock, her eyes shaking.
"Yeah! Why do you really care about my identity?" Saitama spoke.
"But how are you talking!?" The esper asked, scooting much more farther from Saitama's face.
"Why do you ask!? I am talking right now!" Baldy replied.
"NO! I mean, this is a dream! Why are you talking!?" Tatsumaki yelled, causing Saitama to plug one of his ears while carrying her with one hand.
"Oh! So you also know that this is a dream!" Baldy exclaimed.
"DUH! I have controls over my dream since I have telekinesis!" The green-haired girl shouted.
"Oh, that makes sense. Hey, can I ask a question?" Saitama asked.
"ARE YOU STUPID!? GO AHEAD!" Tatsumaki shouted.
"Alright, here goes my question. WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PRESENT IN MY DREAMS?!" Saitama yelled, giving a horrifying look.
"I DON'T KNOW!? DO I!?" The esper replied.
"YES! You are always in my dreams! I don't know why!" The caped baldy exclaimed.
"...Really!?" The green-haired girl squinted her eyes of curiosity.
"Yeah dude, if you're doing this purposely, it's getting annoying. Plus, you always scare the crap out of me everytime! I see you on TV's, Billboards, people's faces, everywhere!" Saitama explained.
"How!?" The esper asked.
"I don't know!?" Baldy replied as he maneuvered around broken tall buildings, the landscape was a flaming inferno.
"Maybe I have developed some sort of connection to your mind... That's why you interacted freely in that dream of mine.. So you were dreaming that too!?" The green-haired girl yelled, prompting Saitama for an answer.
"What dream are you talking about?!" The bald-headed hero asked.
"The dream of you in the park! You were there! And you were moving by your own! You controlled that dream didn't you!?" The esper asked.
"Yeah, I was able to control that one. For the first time, I wondered how. I thought I had powers or something. That was you?" Saitama spoke, smiling.
"I think so. Either way, please wake me up if you can. I don't wanna be in this dream anymore... I've had enough." The green-haired girl turned her green pupils on that of Baldy's.
"Though, can I ask you something too?" She asked in a calm tone.
"Go on ahead." Saitama replied.
"Do you like me?" Tatsumaki stared deeply into Saitama's, causing him to sweat.
"Uhmm... I-.. Yeah, I can't lie. A little." Caped Baldy broke his gaze from the esper, which both cheeks are blushing as blood red.
"...Please wake me up now." The esper asked.
"Sure, here you go!"
With that said, Saitama flicked his hands to let Tatsumaki fall unto the ground, causing her to wake up in reality. Meanwhile, Saitama paused flying on the exact same spot in where he dropped her off.
"I should wake up... too." He thought as he punched his forehead, causing him to land on the ground at high velocities. The ground around him cracked, causing his dream to fade away. Eventually giving him a slight scream over his apartment.
"AHHHH! Huh?" Saitama exclaimed, as he regained composure of his apartment. The sunlight hitting his bald head was also distracting, but eventually it wore him off. Now he knows the reason why the brat keeps appearing everywhere, and it should stop right about now.
"Huh, well, it should. I'm glad." He smiled, seeing as he can now live his life the normal way. Although, about the brat, is that really important? He thought.
Tatsumaki slowly flickered her eyes, to reveal something so drastically wrong. She was in a large sphere of glass. Filled with four Tesla coils that wrapped a wire above the glass. Electric noises filled the glass, as she stood up, desperately knocking the glass by her hands. She flicked her arms, glowing a hue of yellow as she tried to obliterate the glass and everything around her in one shot. Sadly, it didn't since the Tesla coils suddenly powered up and electrified her, causing her to yelp in pain and stumble backwards. She gritted her teeth, glaring as she saw McCoy's figure behind a spotlight.
"Don't even try, Tatsumaki. Once you're in there, you will endlessly give me the fortune I am supposed to recieve!" McCoy stood up from his chair, approaching the large chamber.
"Why are you doing this!?" The esper asked, glaring at the being behind the light.
"Well, I wouldn't let go of this opportunity, seeing you this defenseless and so weak! I can control you everytime I want!" The tall man shouted, giving a snicker.
"I don't think so! The other heroes will go here and kill you and your pathetic misery!" Tatsumaki glowed a very bright yellow, her eyes suddenly shifting to a yellowish tone.
"Heroes?! HA! I probed their heads. There's no way they can get out of my control!" McCoy sat down on his chair, pouring wine over his glass.
"Control?! Did you just brainwash them!?" The green-haired girl punched the glass, only to cause nothing.
"Haha, sure did, how did you know?" The man asked, drinking his glass of wine.
"So it did come true... I was wrong after all!" Tatsumaki thought, stumbling over the ground.
"HAHA! Look at you! So weak and so sad! Who's gonna save you now? Weak Tornado!? HA!" McCoy spoke in a very dreadful tone, laughing like hell has been loose.
"Damnit! Why now!? Ugh... I let my ignorance control me again, and look what it got me... I'm done... for the rest of my life." Tatsumaki thought, as she gritted her teeth, smashing the ground below her.
"...Caped Baldy! You're my only hope out of this mess..."
