Hammerhead, a known criminal with a stolen power armor suit, was currently fleeing for his life. He had been leading his group of other men in power suits to bring down a rich man he believed to be corrupt. The group had been called the Paradisers, as they had planned to use their new strength to remake the world into their perfect paradise. Key word of that sentence: had.
He was the only one still alive. Their target had hired an assassin as his own personal body guard, and in mere seconds, the villain known as Speed O' Sound Sonic can killed every member of the Paradisers except for Hammerhead himself. Hammerhead would likely be dead as well if Sonic had not made the mistake of aiming his thrown kunai knife at his head. His only natural super power was the extreme strength and thickness of his skull, hence his name being Hammerhead. He had played dead until Sonic was looking away, and then bailed.
He believed he could obtain more power suits later of, and he believed he could gather more supporters. There were always lazy people looking for an easier way out. Most dangerously, he believed in his cause, and wasn't likely to stop unless well and truly scared out of it, or outright killed. He ran through the forest, but did not reach the city before he was confronted by three men.
"And who the hell are you?" He questioned them in annoyance. "B class hero, Tank Top Black Hole!" Said the first, flexing his muscles. "B class hero, Mountain Ape." Said the second, simply adjusting the tie of his suit, and yet being far more intimidating than Tank Top Black Hole. "A class hero, Heavy Kong." Said the third, simply glaring with his arms crossed, "We've been sent to deal with you, but considering you're only a B class villain, I'm not sure why."
Hammerhead glared in frustration, "Idiots! I may only be a B class criminal, but with this suit, I'm as strong as an S class!" He shouted, rushing forward at Mountain Ape, as he was the one in the middle of the three. Mountain Ape braced himself, grunting as Hammerhead crashed into him. He tried to push him back, but the suit really did increase his strength. Black Hole grabbed onto one of his arms, Heavy Kong the other, and between the three of them, they were able to slow him to a stop.
Mountain Ape popped his knuckles, then threw a powerful punch into Hammerhead's face. Hammerhead simply laughed, not seeming hurt in the slightest. Confused, Mountain Ape struck Hammerhead twice more in the head, Heavy Kong bringing his fist down on the back of it before Black Hole gripped it head in his hands. None of their attacks seemed to be able to harm his head, his enhanced skull soaking up the damage. As his head was the only unarmed part of his body, this presented a bit of a problem.
Hammerhead swung his arms wildly to throw the heroes off of him, now targeting Black Hole, the weakest of the three. "We need to break through the armor," Heavy Kong said, "If we can get it off of his body, then we can attack his body directly." Mountain Ape nodded, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to use his special attack as Heavy Kong rushed forward.
Black Hole was just barley dodging Hammerhead's punches. He didn't try to counter, knowing that each punch hitting him meant death. He waited for Hammerhead to punch high, ducking low and wrapping his arms around his cut, lifting him into the air and slamming him down on his head. This again did no damage, but did disorient him, letting Heavy Kong Land and begin wailing on the B class villain. Small, unnoticeable cracks began to form across the suit as Heavy Kong laid into it, trying to do as much damage as possible before Hammerhead got his barrings.
Hammerhead threw a punch, Heavy Kong only surviving due to a combination of his A class strength and his guarding with his forearm bracers. He was still send flying black into a tree, which splintered apart from the force of the throw and fell. Hammerhead turned to Black Hole, raising his arm to kill the hero, only to be forced back to the ground by the force of Mountain Ape's punch from above.
His suit was torn in several places from the increase in muscle mass brought on by his special attack, Wild Switch. The origin of the attack was unknown, but while in this form, his body obtained strength rivalling or even surpassing Heavy Kong. Mountain Ape slammed his fists into the metal of the suit, the cracks that formed now visible to the human eye and encouraging him to keep going.
Hammerhead still felt no pain, but knew he soon would if he didn't do something. The fire pattern on his suit, assumed by the heroes to just be a painted on symbol to show he had been the leader, now glowed brightly, the power suit going into maximum power mode. He punched Mountain Ape off of him. Even in Wild Switch mode, the attack still knocked him out cold, stopping just short of killing him.
He stood up, turning to a now terrified Tank Top Black Hole, "Now you three have really pissed me off! And just for that, you're gonna get my special Spin Attack!" He shouted, his arms beginning to swing wildly back at forth, the ground below him shattering from the sheer power coming from the movement. Black Hole closed his eyes, certain he was about to die, only for the attack to stop and them both to turn when they heard someone say, "Well, I wasn't expecting to find this on my walk home from training."
Black Hole and Hammerhead both stared in shock at the sight of King, the S class, the strongest man on the planet, walking towards them. "B class, get the other two and get going, I'll take it from here." King said, his voice completely monotone. Black Hole nodded, running to the other two, hefting them over his shoulders, and bolting off in fear away from the battle.
"I-I'm not afraid of you!" Hammerhead shouted. "And why should you be? You said those suits were strong as an S class didn't you? If you really believe that, you shouldn't be scared," King said, "Why don't we test it? It's been so long since I've had a chance to use my ultimate attack. I was asked to stopped using it after its last target couldn't be buried. Nothing was left of them but mist."
Hammerhead's entire body shook in fear at the thought of facing King's legendary Ultimate Hellfire Wavemotion Cannon. No one still alive today had seen it, and Hammerhead sincerely doubted his odds of being the first. Hoping he could bluff his way through and trick King into backing down, he began to enter his Spin Attack again, beginning to step forward towards King.
He stopped when he heard the King Engine, the powerful heart that beating so loud with blood lust that he could hear it from several feet away. It was said to be the last sound many ever heard. King shifted into a stance, Hammerhead figuring it to be the stance of his final move. He was too afraid to die, he didn't want to face it. He stopped his attack, even exiting his battle suit and dropping to his knees, "P-please, don't do it! I'll do anything!" He pleaded.
King put on a disappointed face, "Alright. Turn yourself and that suit into the association, and I'll allow you live." He said, turning away, "And if you try anything, I'll know." He said, walking off. When Hammerhead was out of sight, King dropped to his knees, sighing in relief. He'd only been out here on his way back from buying a new video game. The stance he'd been taking was his about to turn and bail. He still couldn't believe how afraid people were of him. He'd never fought anyone, and yet the whole world believed him to be an incredible strength. He supposed if came in handy now and then.
