The sun is at its highest point for a while and Saitama is nowhere to be seen. A lean tall man with a blue coat, long jeans, and a pair of black sunglasses is currently frustrated as he leans against the wall of the main entrance of the Grand Amusement Park in I-City. It was hot, sunny, and a lot of people, too many people for the mysterious man to feel comfortable in.
"Dammit, did he forget about me?" Amai Mask wondered, staring at the ground with his eyes closed to try to pass the time.
Suddenly, a bright ray of light penetrates through Amai Mask's sunglasses. Amai Mask immediately took off his sunglasses to inspect it as there's no way that his pair of exclusive sunglasses was worthless enough to not even block sunlight. As he looks down to look, he sees the sunlight-visible on his jacket, slowly moving left to right. He quickly placed back on his sunglasses to avoid anyone from recognizing him before looking up to investigate. He then saw it, a bald lean man with his signature Oppai hoodie. His shiny bald head is reflecting the giant sun into a deadly laser beam around his surroundings. Amai Mask however was unfazed over how bright the man was emitting, but more so on how he was that late in meeting him.
"Saitama, psst, over here," Amai Mask quietly muttered, trying to signal Saitama with his hands as Saitama turned around.
"Oh Sweet Mas-" Saitama happily exclaimed, trying to wave his hand before Amai Mask desperately tried to tell him to be quiet.
"Saitama be quiet around here, I don't want anyone to see me right now, follow me," Amai Mask quietly explained, slowly walking by Saitama as he used his hand to make him follow him. Saitama simply followed him by his side as he inspects the lovely entrance of the Grand Amusement Park and its seamlessly endless line of people.
"Man that line is going to take forever!" Saitama exclaimed, feeling generally sad as he hadn't finished the movie he was watching, "Anyways, why did you want to see me again?"
"Don't be intimidated by the long line Saitama," Amai Mask quietly explained, "And to remind you, you promised me for a meeting later today."
"O-Oh yeah," Saitama sighed, before getting pulled by Amai Mask to the side of the park's entrance.
They slowly walked to the empty V.I.P entrance where a young lady with black hair and a bright smile quickly got up to wear her red color amusement park uniform. She slowly walked up to the empty gate before giving them a bright smile as it is mandatory for the amusement park workers.
"Welcome to the Grand Amusement Park of I-City!" The young lady announced, "May I see your tickets?"
She slowly inspected the two men at the entrance before squinting her eyes to inspect Saitama as if she had seen him before. Amai Mask quietly walked up to the gate, covering the view of Saitama before pulling out a shiny card and passing it on to the worker. She promptly took it as she looked down at the card before a bright smile came to her face. She was shaking uncontrollably as before she could say anything, delicate hands covered her mouth as Amai Mask slowly leaned towards her, taking off his glasses to reveal his face.
"Be quiet for me please, I just want to have some fun with my new friend over here," Amai Mask quietly explained, "My friend was also promoted to A-Class but he did not receive his card for it yet, I apologize for the inconvenience on his behalf."
The young lady slowly glanced above Amai Mask's shoulder to see the mysterious bald friend who is currently picking his nose as he admires the surroundings of the amusement park.
"T-The fraud?" The young lady exclaimed, shocked as she quickly covered her mouth over her sudden loud announcement.
"This is a personal business that is not meant to be in public, but for you, you're a lucky person and I will allow you to know some information from my inside circle if you keep quiet," Amai Mask romantically expressed, as his pink blue aura expands to support his statement, "On top of that, I'll give you a personal autograph and will write anything on it, how about that?"
The young lady's eyes widen as she quickly opened up the gate to allow the two in, happily smiling at Amai Mask before slowly giving Saitama a death stare over her sudden memory of Saitama's destroyed public image of taking advantage of the S-Classes, giving her much annoyance as Saitama didn't even look at her direction. Saitama simply was too busy admiring the amazing architecture of the amusement park, taking in the bright colors and the smell of the food stalls. As Saitama looked back to Amai Mask, he could see Amai Mask simply writing up an autograph before giving her a small kiss on the forehead for the happy lady who was jumping up and down from excitement.
"Was that kiss really necessary?" Saitama questioned, disgusted as Amai Mask slowly walked back to Saitama.
"For a popular celebrity like me, it really gives me many benefits for doing such deeds," Amai Mask explained, as he and Saitama started walking side by side, "It also gives them a bit of a romance that annoying people need, you should try it out sometimes! Especially to Tatsumaki."
"Hm? O-Oh yeah whatever," Saitama noted, unaware of what Amai Mask said at the end as he was too busy staring at the wide selections of food courts.
"U-Uh Saitama? May I ask what took you so long to get here?" Amai Mask desperately questioned over Saitama's lack of awareness, "I know I did ask you to deal with Tatsumaki but I doubt it'll take that long. N-Nevermind, considering Tatusumaki's indecisiveness and rude attitude, it will take much trouble even for you to deal with."
"Hm? No, it wasn't that, I brought her back to my bedroom in just a few minutes and immediately left after that," Saitama quickly explained, before staring back at the food stalls drooling over the wide selections of food, unaware of what he just said. "Plus, it took that long because apparently if you haven't noticed, I-City has an amazing manga store where you can read all the manga for free for like a couple of hours! Amazing right?"
"I-I, It is amazing that you are currently in a great relationship with Tatsumaki, may I ask if you two are in a romantic relationshi-" Amai Mask questioned, with curiosity flowing through him on his relationship with Tatsumkai more so than him being late over manga reading. This is due to him being correct in finding a magnificent hero to carry his legacy before getting cut off with Saitama running away to the food stalls, "S-Saitama! Where are you going?" Amai Mask yelled, running after him before they came to a complete stop in front of one of the food stalls, creating a massive stream of dust on impact.
"O-Oh nothing, I just wanted to grab these hot dogs, they look amazing right?" Saitama happily expressed, as he began ordering his meal, "Do you want anything?"
"Don't randomly run away like that!" Amai Mask retorted, wiping his sweat with his jacket, "N-No I don't need anything, we have business to talk about."
"Suit yourself then!" Saitama replied, before ordering a couple more food. Saitama then proceeded to order more and more food as his status as an A-Class hero gave him an 80% discount on all purchases within the amusement park. Saitama then galloped through each store before Amai Mask got frustrated and tried to drag him away from the front of the register much to Saitama's sadness.
"H-Hey! Let me grab my candy apple first!" Saitama desperately yelled, trying to reach in to grab the candy apple much to the worker's shock as he was holding the candy apple with his hand, "U-Uh hold it on for me, I'll grab it later! Okay!"
Amai Mask then lets go of Saitama and the pair slowly walk towards a giant red Ferris wheel. The pair slowly got on it before Amai Mask quickly wiped off the sweat over the annoying incidents it takes to drag Saitama into a personal room to talk.
"Phew, Alright Saitama we can finally talk for once," Amai Mask explained, as he slowly catches his breath.
"O-Oh cool, what do you wanna ask?" Saitama replied, looking out the window to admire the city.
"Let's take it from the beginning, shall we?" Amai Mask announced, removing his pair of sunglasses and placing them into his shirt pocket, "Why did you become a hero?"
"Sigh, this question again? Man you people ask the same question," Saitama sighed, "It's for fun, the same answer as I told everyone including Tats."
"Sorry for any rudeness Saitama," Amai Mask apologized, "To skip any unnecessary questions, we can start with an introduction! I know your name but you don't know mine. My name is Beauto."
"A-Ah Beauto alright, so you haven't really answered my question last time," Saitama explained, "You know? On why did you become a hero?"
"Of course, how rude am I to not answer that but that is due to me being in a public area," Amai Mask exclaimed, "But first, it is necessary for me to start with my upbringing."
"T-Then I'll pass," Saitama quickly retorted, putting his hand up in front of Amai Mask.
"The Ferris wheel goes on for 30 minutes, it would be rude to just sit in silence so please let me explain my story," Amai Mask confidently explained.
"Dammit, I got myself stuck here, I wonder if Genos and Tats are getting along?" Saitama wondered.
Tatsumaki is still laying in Saitama's bed as she stares at the ceiling, eyes wide open and in a state of thought. Tatsumaki hadn't slept for a couple of hours when Saitama left her to meet Sweet Mask. Although she could leave anytime she wanted as she wasn't restricted by anything, she could not seem to do so as for some reason Saitama's word stuck with her.
"Why do you do this to me Baldy?" Tatsumaki wondered, pulling her arm up to cover her eyes, "Since we met, you haven't really left my mind, why is that?"
Tatsumaki then turned to her side facing the giant glass window which was covered by a curtain. She glanced over the surroundings, the cactus, chair, table, bed drawer before one thing caught her eye. She slowly grabbed the photo frame with her hands rather than telekinesis as she was still recovering and tired before moving back to the bed so that she was staring at the ceiling again. She looked at the photo frame which instantly made her focus on it. It was a picture of Saitama with King, Bang, Bomb, Genos, and Fubuki celebrating in Bang's dojo after the battle with the Monster Association and Garou. Everyone was smiling and having a good time, showing their amazing smiles and laughs except for Saitama who seems very neutral or bored. She concentrated on the photo, staring directly at Fubuki's smiles and laughter. She hasn't seen Fubuki smile in a long time and this has caught her by surprise to see her having fun with people.
"Fubuki, I'm proud that you rejected those weaklings but why won't you talk to me?" Tatsumaki wondered, guiding her delicate fingers across the photo before landing onto Saitama's cold expressionless face.
"Y-You somewhat remind me of me Baldy. A strong independent person who dislikes having people around you. But for some reason, you unknowingly attract these people, strong people around you, it's so confusing." Tatsumaki wondered, "I can not lie but say that I kinda enjoy my company with Bang, King, Tin-Can, and you Baldy; although it was a mess, it was a weird time that you made me feel myself. Probably because they were all strong but I want to know how you know Fubuki?"
"These dreams that I've been dreaming make no sense. I haven't dreamt about anything rather than those terrible experiments on me but now, I've been dreaming about you? Ugh, get it together Tatsumaki. I'm the most powerful Esper in the universe, it'll be better for me to be more powerful rather than someone to protect me. But for some reason, your words stuck with me. I really haven't been protected like this since and I'm surprised someone is that strong, considering the respect King and Bang gave you." Tatsumaki quietly thought, guiding her fingers back to Fubuki's smiles, "I knew I was hard on you but it's better to be strong than to be weak and risk the chance of not getting protected. Baldy is strong but why doesn't he care about you? Why me? I guess I really miss the feeling of someone being nice to me for once, especially one who really could care less about someone's status. He's strong and for now, I somewhat enjoy what he did for me. I usually don't give presents or something back as payment but for once I might."
Tatusmaki sighed as she placed back down the photo frame back onto the bed drawer before a small growl can be heard from her stomach. She clutched it tight realizing that she's now hungry and it's been a few hours since she last ate. She questioned whether to get up and cook for herself before a small knock is heard from the bedroom door.
"Ms. Tornado, I see that you're awake," Genos announced, opening the door with trays full of food, before placing it on Tatsumaki's covered lap, "Here is what Saitama-Sensei requested for me to make you, steak, rice, fries, salad, and a candy apple."
"W-What is with him with candy apples?" Tatsumaki questioned, "Does he know my favorites are candy apples?"
"I believe Saitama-Sensei bought it due to it having a giant discount in the supermarket," Genos confidently replied as he tried to walk out the door.
"W-Wait Tin-Can I got some questions!" Tatusmaki announced, but Genos ignored her request as he kept walking forward before Tatsumaki sighed, "G-Genos! I have some questions!"
Genos slowly looked back at Tatsumaki's emerald green eyes, surprisingly he could see her curiosity flowing around her gaze. He then slowly walked back towards the bed and sat at the end of it, expressionless as always.
"B-Baldy what do you think about him?" Tatsumaki questioned.
"Saitama-Sensei? Well, I believe he is a magnificent hero who has limitless power and wisdom as he has saved me and other people throughout his life," Genos plainly replied, with his eyebrows raised over the unexpected question about his Sensei.
"Y-Yeah I know about that, I mean what do you think of him as him? He is expressionless, carefree, and seemingly acts like he has no emotion anymore." Tatsumaki retorted, with her arms crossed over Genos' misunderstanding over her simple question.
"I do not understand your question Ms. Tornado, Saitama-Sensei's main objective is to find an opponent capable of making him have a great time." Genos explained. "But I do say from Bang and King's investigation is that Sensei doesn't feel much emotions anymore after gaining his powers as if everything around him is meaningless."
"T-The scars, you could see them right Ti-Genos? Like, look at this picture!" Tatsumaki stated, taking a bite out of her steak before using her telekinesis to show Genos the photo.
"Y-Yes I've seen them, but it is not my right to interfere with Sensei's personal life, but he is lonely even with his friends he gained," Genos explained. "From my data gathered from Sensei's life, he struggled to make friends and was usually alone, but after gaining his powers he gained new friends overtime but he seems to feel nothing from them. Although he usually has a great time, it is usually temporary as after a while, he will revert back to his emotionless state."
"So what you're saying is that Badly needs a good fight and he'll be back to normal?" Tatsumaki exclaimed, holding up the steak with her telekinesis by her face.
"Even so, I doubt it will make him happy forever. A fight that would satisfy my Sensei's need is temporary and I doubt it will very much change him for the long term." Genos revealed, saddened by his Sensei's unfortunate circumstances.
"I fought Baldy when he interfered with my conversation with Fubuki," Tatsumaki explained, pulling up her finger to counter his argument.
"That would explain the destruction of the surroundings of the Hero Association building and Sensei's clothes but I see that even you are no match for Sensei," Genos replied, as he brought out his notebook to tick something off.
"I wasn't at full power when I fought him!" Tatsumaki barked, annoyed over how Genos is looking down on her, "Do you think that if I was at full power and I actually fight him, he'll actually be normal again?"
"I believed he needs someone or something who could make him be himself again." Genos simply replied.
Tatsumaki analyzed Genos' words for a while but can't seem to understand what he meant before slowly taking a bite out of her food before asking, "Like who? Someone stronger?"
"This I do not know yet, but I know that strength or power isn't a factor in changing him as I believe no one is stronger than him." Genos simply replied, putting back his notebook away.
"Sigh, whatever, what do you think of me Tin-Can?" Tatsumaki asked before Genos stared at her without saying a word, "U-Ugh Genos, is that fine now?"
"My relationship with you currently is neutral, I don't see any hostility to you nor do I like you, but in the past I do," Genos revealed, "But currently, Sensei is happy with you around and in turn, I do not see any problem with you either if you do not assert your dominance over my Sensei."
"W-Wait he's happy with me around?" Tatsumaki replied, stunned by the reveal of how someone is for once happy that she is around them.
"I do not understand why you keep asking me questions about my Sensei?" Genos questioned, with his eyebrows raised, "I could sense no evil intentions from you like inviting him to join a meaningless group and taking advantage of him. But I do sense a level of attraction from you to my Sensei."
Tatsumaki cheeks glow bright red as her entire body heats up over the sudden question. Tatsumaki knew Saitama was special, as he was strong, caring, and protective. It was like a complete copy of her, like protecting her little sister. But her sense of curiosity over the bald man is apparently taking over her mind. It was as if she was obsessed over who Saitama is, spending hours trying to find information about him from the Hero Association, from Bang, King, Genos but in the end, nothing mattered. He was like a brick wall and all the information she wants to know about him is from the other side. Why was she trying to help Saitama's meaningless life in helping him feel happiness again? Is it her way of saying thank you for what he has done for her?
"I-I don't have an attraction towards him w-what?" Tatsumaki hesitantly replied, stuffing more food in her mouth.
"Ms. Tornado, I have analyzed you multiple times during your encounter with Sensei, and your heart rate and body temperature usually increase when you're around him. You stutter on your words and you're less assertive towards him as opposed to other people," Genos explained, "Your heart rate slows down exponentially when Sensei is carrying you but your body heat increases; not to mention, you show layers upon layers of facial expression of comfort, annoyance and happiness when with Sensei, plus, your voice pitch increases when talking to him which proves tha-"
"S-Shut up!" Tatsumaki roared, irritated over Genos' long explanation, but she couldn't help but think about what he said. "Did I really do that to Baldy? I haven't noticed."
"Not to mention, through further analysis right now, your heart rate and body temperature have increased when I mentioned Sensei," Genos confidently discloses, "Plus, you're blushing."
"Dammit! Shut it Tin-Chan!" Tatsumaki retorted as she quickly touched her face, feeling the heat coming out from it. "It's just that you mentioned something about me being with someone."
"I see, but if you must know, I believe Sensei does care about you, I could sense his energy rising when he encountered with Sweet Mask," Genos revealed, walking towards the cactus to water it, "I purposely forced myself to not act as it is the first time I saw him be that angry over someone and as a result, I left it for Sensei to deal with."
"I-I what? Is that true?" Tatsumaki stunned, questioned as she moved closer towards the end of the bed to talk to Genos, "D-Do you think I should give him something back for helping me?"
"That would be a normal human thing to do Ms. Tornado," Genos confidently answered.
"You have that technology of yours, where do you think he is right now?" Tatsumaki questioned, moving the tray of food to her side.
"I don't know Ms. Tornado, I wish I did as he promised me to spar today," Genos replied, gripping his hand waiting for his upcoming training with his Sensei.
"You are the ideal hero that I would want to be my successor, you just have to follow my instructions," Amai Mask explained, much to Saitama's displeasure, "You even got the Tornado of Terror with you, that is already an achievement on its own. If Tatsumaki respects you then I guarantee you're going to be famous."
"Hm? What does this have to do with Tats? She's just my friend you know?" Saitama exclaimed, confused. "Plus, I don't need attention but it is nice for people to know what I'm doing."
"I can make you famous! Everyone will know your name! You just have to follow my instructions!" Amai Mask desperately explained, wiping sweats as he explains.
"Hm? Sounds like a puppet," Saitama retorted, bored of the entire meeting, "Would an ideal hero care about the attention of others? You should care more about how you view yourself, as that is more important. Besides we're all human."
Amai Mask was stunned over the entire exchange but Saitama's final line truly made him reconsider his entire existence in being the ideal hero. He just couldn't believe that he didn't listen to anything he just said more so than what he finished with. Before he could put another word in, Saitama slowly got up from his seat before looking outside the window.
"H-Hey, you know what time it is?" Saitama questioned, wondering with a frightened look on his face as he looked around the window.
"Hm? It's 4 pm why?" Amai Mask replied, confused over what Saitama's urgency is about.
"Crap! I promised a spar with Genos!" Saitama revealed as he began opening the Ferris wheel door to leave. "Hey, sorry to leave so early but if you want to talk later and grab food then I'm always free, bye!" before jumping out the door leaving Amai Mask confused behind.
Amai Mask slowly stared at his hands, memorizing Saitama's every word that he exchanged with him. Although he left so early much to his displeasure, he was committed to convincing him to join him. As he sits alone in the empty Ferris wheel, loud screams can be heard around the amusement park.
"Is there a party down there? N-No they are screams!" Amai Mask shouted, eyes wide open before gripping his fist trying to suppress the veins that are popping out of his arms.
"So what should I do, make a cake?" Tatsumaki pondered, holding up the steak with her telekinesis as she thought about it.
"It is nice to see that you are giving back to other people who helped you but I believe any meat will be an exceptional choice-'' Genos happily explained before being cut off by an alarm in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out before running to the door much to Tatsumaki's annoyance over Genos' sudden change of plans.
"Where are you going Tin-Can, we haven't finished talking!" Tatsumaki roared, as she slowly glowed before Genos stopped.
"There's a monster detected in the Grand Amusement Park in I-City, classified as Dragon, the Hero Association is requesting any S-Class heroes to defeat it immediately," Genos quickly revealed as he ran out the bedroom door.
"I-City? Isn't that where Baldy and Sour Mask is at? Well, I have nothing to do, even if I'm not fully recovered, I still want to fight the monster and Baldy." Tatsumaki happily boasted as she quickly flew out the balcony towards I-City.
As Genos is running at high speed towards I-City, he catches a familiar face running the opposite way. He quickly stopped leaving a trail of dust behind him before giving a big wave towards his Sensei.
"Sensei!" Genos happily announced, waving his hands.
"Ah, Genos, I was looking for you. Are you ready to fight?" Saitama happily replied as he walked towards Genos.
"Sorry Sensei, but we need to change schedules. There's a Dragon level threat that has appeared in I-City.
As Genos finished his sentence, the news channel booted up the news of I-City to the giant television screen by the building, showing the monsterization of Sweet Mask. Saitama stared at it as his expression transitioned into a serious one much to Genos' shock.
"Sweet Mask is a monster?! Sensei, I believe we shoul-'' Genos proposed before stopping as Saitama immediately left leaving a loud shock wave and a smoke trail behind him, "I didn't even see Sensei leave, what speed."
Tatsumaki is flying towards the Grand Amusement Park at high speeds before arriving where the dust is slowly dissipating showing a giant crater where the supposed Dragon level monster is standing on. He was disgustingly ugly, as his face, arms, legs, and bodies were weirdly deformed, but he wasn't moving. Tatsumaki stared at it from a great distance away wondering why there's a large crowd forming around the monster as if it was not scared of it.
Tatsumaki slowly flew in front of the large crowd much to their shock. The crowd quickly opened up an entrance for Tatsumaki even though it was not needed as she was flying above them. Some slowly redirected their phones and cameras away from the monster to face Tatsumaki who was smiling as there's a monster for her to destroy.
The monster was standing still, looking around as he stared at his hands seemingly thinking about something.
"Besides we are all human." Amai Mask muttered under his breath before looking up at the small green Esper who was flying above him which he smirked upon.
"So is this the supposed Dragon monster? Looks more like a Tiger to me," Tatsumaki questioned, pointing at Blue Fire, "You! Is this it?
"Ms. Tornado, the monster that you are looking at is Sweet Mask," Blue Fire announced, much to Tatsumaki's shock.
Tatsumaki quickly looked back up at Amai Mask before bursting in laughter as she couldn't even maintain her balance in the air over what Amai Mask has done to himself. Amai Mask could only stare at the ground trying to ignore her laughter over the crowd before someone in the crowd started yelling, consuming Tatsumaki's laughter.
"H-He transformed into a monster in order to beat the monster, he should be considered a hero!" A teenage man claimed.
"He's going to lose his sanity from turning into a monster, it'll be best to kill him now before he kills us all! Tornado is here, she could just beat him now!" An adult female yelled.
The crowd slowly grew louder and louder over the argument on whether Sweet Mask should be spared or not as each person joins in. As the crowd grows louder, the crowd slowly grows in numbers, attracting more and more passersby who saw the news channel about the sudden monsterization of Sweet Mask.
"Kill him Tornado!" "He saved us! you idiots!" "Don't let him transform and hide back in the city!" "Disgusting creature!" "Let the Hero Association deal with it!"
"Don't provoke him!" Blue Fire demanded, opening his arms to cover the crowd's view from Amai Mask.
"He is the reason why I lost my girlfriend, is all because of him and his stupid attractiveness," A young man shouted before grabbing a rock from the pile of debris and throwing it at Amai Mask, "You destroyed my life!"
"Hey! Are you stupid!" Blue Fire yelled, jumping on the man before he threw the rock, but it was too late.
Tatsumaki could only watch in laughter at the crowd humiliating Amai Mask before the rock was grabbed by a familiar bald man which immediately stopped Tatsumaki's laughter. Saitama quickly caught the flying rock with one hand while the other was the candy apple he forgot to get. He turned around towards Amai Mask with a bright smile on his face much to the shock of Amai Mask.
"You're really cool," Saitama exclaimed, throwing the rock away as he stands in front of Amai Mask, much to the confusion of the crowd and Tatsumaki.
Amai Mask slowly had a bright smile on his face surprising himself over how he still has the ability to smile. Truly happy for once in his life and it's just the sudden appearance of Saitama right in front of him.
"Saitama, it'll be a great chance for you to kill me," Amai Mask stated, "It'll be a great honor to be killed by you and witness the birth of a new ideal hero."
"You're really persistent about that huh?" Saitama replied, surprisingly not annoyed over what Amai Mask said.
"Please, Saitama." Amai Mask begged before a small green Esper quietly floated down and sat down on Saitama's shoulder with her arm and legs crossed, much to the shock and amazement of the crowd.
"Oh hey Tats, what are you doing here?" Saitama questioned, scratching his head over the sudden appearance of Tatsumaki as she should be in bed, "You know you should still be in bed recovering right?"
"Hmph! I came here because I want to clear my head by defeating some monsters," Tatsumaki boasted, looking away at Saitama with her eyes closed due to her hidden intentions.
"Well that's nice but rides over shorty," Saitama explained before using one hand to carry Tatsumaki back to the ground, much to everyone's horror. Tatsumaki couldn't dare to move as her body heats up as her cheeks started to glow bright red over Saitama's sudden movement. She was then placed back feet first on the ground as she stared at the ground stunned and embarrassed before slowly looking up at Saitama's happy expression.
"I-I actually wanted to come here to see you Bal-Saitama," Tatsumaki quietly revealed.
"Hm? Oh yeah sure, after this we can talk if you want to," Saitama happily replied before giving her the candy apple he was holding and giving her a small pat on the head, giving Tatsumaki a feeling of sudden affection and embarrassment, "Here have this, and I can deal with this alright Tats?"
Everyone is staring at the two with shock as the great Tornado of Terror is allowing someone to do this to her, much less someone who looks like a weakling and a fraud. Tatsumaki simply bit into the candy apple with a reluctant smile before slowly flying a bit away from Saitama and Amai Mask before slowly spectating the two.
"Hmph! You better finish this quickly!" Tatsumaki demanded, taking bites out of her candy apple as she felt a feeling of affection over Saitama's sudden movements.
"Heh, I'm glad to see that your romantic relationship with Tatsumaki is going great Saitama," Amai Mask loudly announced, allowing everyone in the crowd to hear him, "This is an ideal hero that everyone deserves!"
The crowd is now beyond shocked as they all point the cameras towards Tatsumaki and snapping photos, blinding everyone with the flashes of the cameras. Tatsumaki was now annoyed over Amai Mask's sudden announcement as she flicked her finger to blow up all the cameras on sight. She then encased Amai Mask with a bright green sphere before Saitama pulled his hand up towards Tatsumaki.
"Stop it Tats! I can deal with it myself," Saitama yelled. "Besides, he may stop being annoying and repay you someday!"
"B-But he's spewing false information! Just let me kill him!" Tatsumaki retorted, annoyed by Saitama's objection but more so wondering why she needed permission to kill him anyway.
Saitama then shot a stare at Tatsumaki which Tatsumaki felt utter affection or fear, the sudden serious expression he emitted made Tatsumaki suddenly remove the green sphere that surrounds Amai Mask. Tatsumaki then stared at her hands in disbelief over what had happened as her body was heating up fast, it's as if her instinct took over and answered Saitama on her behalf. The crowd all watched as the great Tornado of Terror apparently complied with this mysterious person as if they really are in a romantic relationship just like Amai Mask said.
Amai Mask then proceeds to swiftly grab Saitama's head with his right hand much to everyone's shock and horror, gripping it to no avail. Everyone in the crowd watched in horror as the man is the first to be gripped by Amai Mask's grasp.
"Saitama!" Tatsumaki desperately yelled, instantly shutting herself up by covering her mouth with her hands wondering why she was even worried about him.
"Get out of there! It's dangerous!" Blue Fire shouted running towards the two before a green barrier was formed blocking him from entering.
"What are you doing, you idiot! He can deal with it just fine!" Tatsumaki roared, irritated over a nobody who's trying to play hero. Blue Fire stared back at Tatsumaki and was stumped over how she placed her full trust over someone who he believed was a fraud.
"Kill me Saitama!" Amai Mask roared, as his voice slowly deteriorated over the monsterization.
"No, you're just getting started you know," Saitama quickly replied, still with his head grabbed by Amai Mask but seemingly unfazed by it.
"If you're not going to kill me, then I'll make you kill me!" Amai Mask declared, before removing his hand and immediately jumping towards Tatsumaki.
Tatsumaki surprised by Amai Mask's engagement, formed a giant shield in front of her but was immediately shattered by Amai Mask, much to Tatsumaki's shock. "Dammit, I'm still not recovered yet." But before Amai Mask could reach Tatsumaki, Saitama immediately went right in front of Tatsumaki and grabbed her with his arm while slamming Amai Mask to the ground with his other. The crowd shattered but reformed around the three, wondering what has occurred due to the immense speed that they have just produced. Saitama went down to hold onto Amai Mask's hand with his hand while wrapping Tatsumaki in a bridal hold with his other hand like a baby before slowly placing Tatsumaki down.
"W-What just happened?" Tatsumaki questioned, slowly opening her eyes as she was now faced with another form of embarrassment of being saved once again.
"A-Ah you dropped your candy apple," Saitama groaned, wiping the dust off of Tatsumaki's shoulder, "No worries, there's more in the fridge if you want some."
"N-No it's fine, we could go buy some more afte-" Tatsumaki muttered, pulling her hands up in front of Saitama.
"O-Oh, you can tell me later Tats, see you!" Saitama quickly revealed before immediately jumping away with Amai Mask on him at high speeds which Tatsumaki couldn't even comprehend.
"W-Wait!" Tatsumaki yelled, trying to grab Saitama before Saitama seemingly disappeared from sight, "Sigh, now I have to wait until tonight, but I can go buy some ingredients while I'm at it. Maybe Bang got some nice ingredients, I have talk to him about something anyways."
"Ms. Tornado are you truly in a relationship with that man?" A news anchor questioned, stuffing cameras in her face as the crowd slowly moved in around her.
"Shut it!" Tatsumaki snapped, flicking her finger as all the cameras around her were once again exploded causing everyone to back off. "Sigh, can't believe I'm going to that dojo again, and this time is not meditating."
A young man with blue hair can be seen jumping from building to building as he looked at his phone seemingly trying to gather some information. He stared at the fast-moving man who was carrying the person he was trying to get a hold of, as he could feel his legs starting to give out over the increasing speed his opponent was gaining before a familiar cyborg jumped in front of him.
"What is your intention in meeting my Sensei?" Genos demanded, stopping the being as they stared at each other on one of the rooftops.
"S Class hero Demon Cyborg, why do you wish to protect the monster?"
"That is classified information, I do not know who you are but you seem to possess deadly technology, I am to assume you are an enemy?" Genos claimed, before slowly pointing his hand towards the mysterious person.
"N-No, my name is Blue, co-founder of the Neo-Heroes," Blue announced, putting his hand up.
"I see, then there's no reason for us to engage in battle," Genos confidently replied, putting his hand down as he slowly turned his back on him.
"W-What are you doing? Are you going to let that man go with Sweet Mask?" Blue complained.
"That I can not interfere," Genos quietly muttered before jumping away leaving Blue behind.
"Damn! The Hero Association is as corrupt as ever!" Blue spat, gripping his hand as he stared off the direction where Saitama is heading.
"N-No way! Sweet Mask is a monster!" Sitch yelled, slamming his fist on the metal desk as messy papers flew everywhere.
"I understand the shock but this may even shock you further," Bearded Worker quietly replied, handing the shaking Sitch the tablet he was holding.
"W-What is it?" Sitch slowly replied, hesitantly looking at the tablet as he tried to maintain back his composure wondering what he is looking at.
"Sweet Mask file has been erased, while all the S Class heroes had their data accessed by an unknown source," Bearded Worker announced, annoyed over the entire situation that is happening to the Hero Association.
Sitch's eyes widened as sweat began pouring down his face as if anyone who gains access over these files then they will be able to gain video data and written data over each and every heroes' ability and tactics and may use them to counter the heroes, a much bigger threat than the Monster Association.
"Get Child Emperor! He could find the person!" Sitch demanded as he slammed the tablet on the metal table.
"Child Emperor's gone, he left the Hero Association to join the Neo-Heroes," Bearded Worker revealed, pulling out a cigarette before lighting it, "But I'm 100% sure he was not the source as he was there with me when it happened and he has his suspicions on who the source might be but he didn't reveal it to me."
"Dammit!" Sitch snapped, as he leans back on his chair while facing the ceiling, "I hope this doesn't get worse from here."
Author's note:
Sorry for the delay in writing this, I had to rewrite the storyboard a couple of times since I didn't like where it was heading. Ironically I already know how the story will end but I'm just having trouble getting there so it'll take a while but this feels like it's on the right path. Anyways the new webcomic chapter really made me say "bruh" when I first read it, since I have to find a way to incorporate that but I found a way. Also, I mentioned that I may not add Neo-Heroes, well I found a way to add them and it works so I'll just see if you'll like them.
Anyways that's all I gotta say so see you in the next chapter
