Mr. Murata
The day was peaceful. The birds chirped happily. People were going about their daily lives.
Going to work and getting jobs.
BBBBBOOOOOMMM
An explosion was created in the middle of the city. A shockwave erupted from the explosion.
People began to panic and ran for safety. In the middle of the large crater was a man. But not fully human. He was humanoid, but with black skin and antennas.
He leaped to the sky at an intense speed. Too fast for the eye to see. The monster made grunted noises as his hands began to glow.
He threw massive spouts of energy at the city causing massive explosions.
In the Hero Association HQ...
"It's closing in!" A Human employee shouted.
One turned around and shouted.
"Who do we have available!"
"We have confirmation that Lightning Max and Smile Man are on their way!" A female employee said.
"Give me status on the threat level!" Another male employer shouted.
Back in the city…
Smile Man and Lightning Max laid unconscious as the monster continued to advance towards the city.
A massive explosion was created as the monster walked casually towards what remained of the intact city.
"As you can see Explosions are being made." A reporter shouted on the camera to the news.
"The hero association is obtaining a threat level in order to AAAGH" The screen went static on the TV.
A woman with a bald head watched the TV screen.
"Guess I'll go." She said, She grabbed a wig that had black color to it. It was long and it usually stuck to her head due to what it was made of.
She put on the wig and clothed herself in a banana-colored suit with a white cape that was lightweight with a pair of red gloves and red boots.
She walked out through the doorway not yet revealing her face. The cape floated and twirled around from the wind.
She was out in the sunlight and revealed her face. Her body was a bit curvy and busty.
Her wig was blown in the air as the threads of the material made it sway in the air. But all the same, it stayed on her head.
Meanwhile in the now destroyed City…
A young girl was crying loudly.
"Mommy! Daddy!" The girl screamed as she continued to sob. She put her head down and sobbed in her hands. She was all dirty and had a few blood spots but it wasn't her blood.
Through her sobbing was what had her not notice the monster casually walking up behind her. He walked right up behind her.
His arm grew larger with a few spikes protruded off a few spots. His arm grew large enough that it could crush the little girl like a raspberry.
The poor girl continued to sob, not noticing the monster behind her. The monster's arm reached for her and was about to crush her, once when the monster clasped his hand together. But he felt nothing but thin air. He opened his hand again only to find the little girl not there.
He looked over to the side to see a woman with a banana-colored suit and a white cape. Not being able to see her face. She held the little girl in her arms and set her down gently. The little girl was barely awake but she could see the hero that saved her.
"You're a fast one, who are you?" The monster asked as his arm returned to normal size.
A smile cracked on the woman's face.
"Just a girl who's a hero for fun." She said as she turned around revealing her face. Her face had black dots for pupils but when she had a serious face then her black dot pupils were replaced with a firey red pupil. But the hair seemed to make her look less stupid. At least that's what she believed. Although it was really just meant to keep her identity known for having hair.
"You're kidding. What kind of half-assed backstory is that? Mine's far superior! I was created by the pollution that you humans have so brought upon this world!" The monster rambled on at the woman.
"I AM VACCINE MAN!" Vaccine man said as his body grew larger and spikes began to protrude from his body. The little girl behind Saitama was growing more terrified by the second. The monster kept growing. Not to mention how scary his monologuing was.
"The Earth is a single living organism, you humans are nothing but a disease of bacteria. Eating away at her precious life force!" Vaccine man continued to ramble his monologue. Saitama hoped that this guy could at least last longer than the rest she's fought.
"To wipe out the Bacteria, THE EARTH AND HER INFINITE WISDOM GAVE BIRTH TO ME!" The monster's voice got deeper, his eyes turned red and tusks began to protrude out of his mouth. He was a lot bigger now. His teeth were large and sharp.
"YOU SAY YOU DO THIS FOR FUN!? FOR FUN!?" The monster shouted as Saitama had to look up at him. The little girl was so stunned by shock and fear she didn't know what to do. She couldn't cry, she couldn't scream. She was absolutely speechless with fear and shock.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MOTHER EARTH FOR SUCH A MINDLESS REASON!" Vaccine Man continued to shout and scream. The little girl was now on the verge of passing out from exhaustion but now the fear was immeasurable.
"BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A HUMAN LIKE Y-" The monster was cut off as the woman had enough of his ramblings and punched the monster with little effort. The monster was completely obliterated by the punch. Saitama had a blank face.
The little girl was just in fear but now it was more of immense surprise and shock. Her jaw dropped.
Saitama stood there looking at her fist. She looked frustrated at her fist. Steam was emitting from it.
"No, not again...All it took was one punch," Saitama thought to herself as she fell on her knees and hands on the ground.
"DAAAAMMMNNN IIIIIIIIITTTT" She screamed loud in the air.
The Strongest Woman
Hero Association HQ
They had seen everything. A few heroes were in the room as well. Along with Class S Rank 4 Atomic Samurai, Class S Rank 11 Darkshine Alloy, and Class A Rank 1 Amai Mask. All saw the immense power of this very woman who effortlessly defeated the monster with a single punch.
"God Damn, I need to work out more to be at her level," Darkshine said.
"That woman just defeated a Dragon-Level threat with one punch, she might be just as strong as Blast." Child Emperor said.
"How curious, A human woman defeated a Dragon-Level threat with ease other than that air-headed Tornado of Terror." Amai mask said with respect towards the woman who had just defeated the Dragon Level threat. If Tornado were here, what would her reaction be to a hero who may rival Blast's strength if not higher? Especially since it was a woman. Not that it was a bad thing, just unexpected.
A bearded worker watched the feed.
"Who is she? If we find her, we need to recruit her to Class S." The bearded worker said aloud.
3 years ago…
"A monster! Run Away" A man shouted as he ran away with a few other people in tow.
Saitama stood there. She was 22 and she had actual hair, her pupils were brown and lifeless. She wore a black suit and a black fedora on top of her head.
She was carrying a black suitcase. It was just meant for her to look professional.
Her hair was black and long and it went down all the way to her hips. It was excessively long for an average girl but she liked to be different from the rest.
The monster walked right up to her but Saitama stood where she was.
"What's this? Are you sure you don't wanna run away, hot stuff? *gig* *gig* *gig" The monster had half his body a crab and the other half-human legs. The top half resembled a human crab.
Saitama let out a sigh. Not in fear or hatred but rather just plain sadness.
"*Gig* *gig* *gig* I bet you're a daily businesswoman already hating the daily grime, I ate too much crab and turned into this Crablante. You should be crapping in your pants right now. Why aren't you running?" Crablante said. No response.
"Got a death wish?" Crablante said.
No response.
"Is that it?"
"Well not quite." Saitama finally answered. Crablante seemed interested in this conversation so he kept his mouth shut to hear her out.
"I'm no businesswoman, I'm unemployed, right now I'm looking for a job. I flunked my last Job Interview and I'm in no mood to turn tail and run. Just because you're here." Saitama said with a cold, disappointing tone.
"So what's it going to be Crablante?" Saitama asked.
"*gig* *gig* *gig*" Crablante menacingly made noises but that quickly faded as he pointed his grab claws at her face but she didn't flinch.
"Your eyes are cold and lifeless just the same as mine. Since we have that in common. I think I'll let you off the hook this time." Crablante said as he walked past her.
"Besides, right now I'm hunting different prey," Crablante said as his eyes grew veiny.
Saitama looked back at him, giving a sort of interest in what he said.
"A brat with a big chin. And when I find him, I'm gonna rip his arms off!" Crablante said as he walked away.
"*gig* *gig* *gig* *gig*" The monster laughed hysterically as he walked away.
Saitama brushed it off and continued her way back down the street.
She was now coming across the park. She noticed a kid playing with his ball.
He looked at her and was a bit confused.
"What are you lookin' at?" The big chin kid said.
Saitama's face went pale and a worried face overcame her.
"The big chin brat, If he's caught he's mincemeat." Saitama thought to herself.
"Hey kid, were you messing with a giant crab monster?" Saitama asked.
"While he was asleep in the park, I drew some nibbles on his chest." The big chin kid said.
"It's definitely him." Saitama thought to herself. Her eyes went wider.
"He has no idea what he's done, What do I do? I could still help but…..This kid's kinda weird. It's none of my business really. Yeah right not like anyone's gonna care or anything." Saitama thought to herself as she continued to walk on.
The monster then came out of oblivion.
"*gig* *gig* FOUND YOU!" Crablante shouted. He slammed his claw down at the kid into the Earth.
But before the kid was crushed under the wrath of Crablante, Saitama had leaped in to grab the kid out of the way.
Her fedora flew off, not that, that was a problem.
"What the Hell Am I Doing?!" Saitama's mind screamed as she skidded on the concrete.
The monster looked at the pair confused by what just happened.
"Listen, kid, he's after you now go!" Saitama shouted. The kid was paralyzed by the event that had occurred.
"Don't worry about me, just go!" Saitama said to the kid.
"But I can't, I gotta get my soccer ball." the kid said.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Saitama shouted.
The ball was flattened by Crablante's foot.
"Hot Stuff, what's the big idea?" Crablante said.
"Don't tell me you're gonna protect that stinkin' big chin brat?" Crablante insulted the kid again.
"Oh come on...You're really just gonna kill this kid over some harmless little prank? Doesn't that seem kinda cruel?" Saitama said with a determined and angered tone.
"Cruel, Whatever I kill people for a lot less!" Crablante said the word "cruel" a bit like it was a joke.
"Whoever makes fun of the way I look pays the price! No Exceptions. Oh, and by the way that big chin brat. DREW RIDICULOUS NIBBLES ON MY MANLY CHEST PLATE IN PERMANENT MARKER! I GOT CLAWS I CAN'T EVEN USE A TOWEL TO WIPE IT OFF!" Crablante screamed in a maniac tone.
He swung his claw straight in her face but not to hit her, but to threaten her.
"Get in my way, and I'll make sure that Job Interview you flunked will be your last!" Crablante said.
Saitama was silent for a few moments. She still gave an intimidating look.
She then started to chuckle to herself. It was a chuckle that turned to a full-blown laugh.
"Man, It just came to me...You look like this villain off this TV show I used to watch." Saitama said, as soon as that was said Crablante sent her flying into a small building with volleyballs and park stuff.
"DIE," Crablante said as he raised his claw ready to kill the big chin brat.
The kid started to panic, he tried to back up but it was useless.
But before Crablante could smash the kid, a rock was thrown at his face.
He turned his attention to the now standing Saitama.
"Stop right there." She said as she limped a bit but recovered her strength. Blood dripped from her mouth.
"If I watch you kill a kid right in front of me, I'll have nightmares," Saitama said. Crablante put his claw down. Surely she couldn't possibly believe that she could kill him.
"You know what, when I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a hero. Not some damn businesswoman, but a hero that could send rotten villains like you flying with one punch." Saitama said as she stripped her tie off her chest and took off the black shirt. She had her white shirt underneath but it was a little dirty.
"Screw the businesswoman, BRING IT ON CRAB!" Saitama shouted at Crablante with a high spirit and bloodlust in her expression.
"Oh, a hero huh," Crablante said as he raised his claw and swiped at Saitama, hitting her in the face. Sending her flying back.
"RIDICULOUS!" Crablante screamed. Blood spewed from Saitama's mouth and forehead.
Crablante hit her with an uppercut sending Saitama upwards.
"YOU'RE PATHETIC!" Crablante continued to throw insults at Saitama.
She crashed down to the ground not far from the monster. Her shirt was all dirty and torn.
"You don't stand a chance against me," Crablante said as he marched towards her.
She looked up at him with a fiery expression.
"Your life ends…" Crablante was about to finish Saitama.
"NOW!" The monster shouted as he struck his claw at Saitama, but was only met with earth. Saitama jumped up on his arm and wrapped her tie around one of the monster's eyes. She got behind him in one motion. She pulled the tie as hard as she could.
Crablante was screaming in pain as Saitama ripped out his right eye.
The insides of Crablante spewed everywhere.
The big chin kid watched in astonishment. He was definitely going to tell his mom and Grandpa about this.
Saitama stood there. Breathing heavily, staring down at the monster she had just brought down. That's when something hit her. She was going to be a hero, no matter how hard it would seem, she would get stronger.
"Has it really been 3 years since then?" Saitama narrated as her past self's brown eyes grew and sparked a fire in her pupils.
Present-day….
It revealed now the 25-year old Saitama who was wearing a wig to keep her hero identity known. She was in a marketplace and was looking at crab claws for supper.
"Since then, I trained so hard that I went bald, I became the hero I always wanted to be...so what is this? What's wrong with me?" Saitama narrated. Many men and women thought she was a cosplayer since no one knows who she is. No one knew that she was bald or at the fact that she was a hero.
"I just wear the wig to keep my hero identity known, It's not that I would care what people would think of me if they knew I was bald. But I guess having hair was a pretty good thing. But I lost all that in exchange for power. But I lost a lot more than just hair." Saitama narrated as she put the crab claws in her basket. While she walked away a little kid was pointing out Saitama as he wanted to go meet her but his mom was too fond of bothering her while shopping.
"482 yen." The female cashier said.
"Here. Wait one sec." Saitama was searching through her purse for 82 yen. The building was shaking. Everyone in the building noticed except Saitama. She continued to search through her small purse.
As soon as she brought out the 82 yen no one was there.
"Here I have the 82 yen. Huh?" Saitama said. She could've sworn there were people in the building. But no one was around. Just then a foot crushed the entrance of the building.
Saitama walked out of the half-destroyed building. And saw that part of the city was flattened by a giant's foot.
With the giant…
"Yes, This is incredible little brother!" A man said as he was on the giant's right shoulder.
"I never thought it would work so well." The man said once again.
Meanwhile at the Hero Association…
"Another monster has been sighted in City B!" A male worker.
"Threat Level-Dragon!" A Female employee said.
"We need all available heroes to take it down!" A different man said.
"Wait, cancel that order." A bearded worker said.
"What?! What are you insane!?" A male employee said.
"I know it may sound blunt but we may be able to find that woman. The one that defeated the other Dragon-Level threat with a single punch. If she shows up then maybe we can see just how powerful she is." The bearded worker explained.
Many of the employees would have agreed if this woman was a part of the Hero Association but they had no way of tracking her.
"Why don't you send me in?" A cute and calm voice spoke.
They turned to see Tornado of Terror, Class S Rank 2 hovering in the air.
"Tornado, We know you're eager to fight, but that monster can destroy entire cities just by swiping its hand in the air! Are you sure about this?!" An employee asked.
"If you think size and power is the problem, there's a way around that." Tornado of Terror said, trying her hardest not to get ticked off with all of them.
"I don't think it's necessary to send her in." The voice of Child Emperor said.
"What do you mean?" The Bearded Worker asked.
"We have eyes on the woman who took down the Threat Level Dragon earlier today in City A." Child Emperor said as he connected his IPad to the large screen in the room showing the Woman on the giant's shoulder.
"How'd she even get on the giant's shoulder without it noticing?" An employee asked.
"I wouldn't be concerned about that right now, If the giant notices her then god knows what'll happen." The Bearded Worker said.
"Hmm, Who is this woman?" Tornado of Terror thought to herself.
Meanwhile with the Giant….
"So what do you think dear brother?" The man asked The Giant who was his little brother.
"Yeah, how does it feel to be the strongest?" The Voice of Saitama asked.
"Huh, THERE'S SOMEONE ON YOUR SHOULDER!" The man pointed out.
"Put some pants on." Saitama said as her "hair" waved in the air.
"THAT BITCH ON YOUR SHOULDER KILL HER!" The man said to the Giant. The Giant was silent for a few moments. Then the giant smashed his left hand on his right shoulder.
He looked at his hand only to see his splattered brother's remains.
"BROTHER NOOOOOOOO!" The Giant screamed. Saitama put her fingers in her ears to close out the loud talking Giant.
"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!? ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO BE THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD! AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I KILLED MY OWN BROTHER!" The Giant screamed as his body quivered. Saitama gave a dumb smile.
The Giant noticed her.
"YOU! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU'RE GONNA PAY BITCH!" The Giant said as he grabbed Saitama and threw her down on a building completely obliterating it.
Saitama laid in the rubble completely unharmed. The Giant leaped in the air as he slammed his foot down in the ground causing the whole city to fall apart.
But the giant didn't stop there. He then pummeled the ground where Saitama was constantly.
"BEHOLD! OUR BROTHERLY POWER!" The Giant shouted as he pummeled the ground harder and harder.
After he was done, he was panting heavily. Revealing the massive hole that could fit even the giant in it.
"I am the strongest." The giant thought to himself.
He looked at his left hand to see the remains of his splattered brother.
A tear escaped the Giant's eye.
"But what does that matter….I feel empty." The giant thought to himself.
Hero Association
"That monster destroyed that entire section of the city," an employee said.
"Dear God, What kind of abomination is that?" The Bearded worker said.
Tornado of Terror wasn't the least bit surprised.
"What a disappointment," Tornado said as she crossed her arms.
Back with the Giant
"You get it right." The voice of Saitama was heard.
Just then the woman leaped into the air directly at the giant. A news helicopter flew the giant and got the footage. It was filmed live.
Saitama got close enough to the face of the creature and punched it. Sending it flying back and making a crater on its face.
"Having overwhelming strength is pretty boring actually," Saitama said as her fist steamed.
The Hero Association was shocked but relieved at the same time. The monster was dealt with but they needed to recruit this woman.
The monster fell on the other section of the city crushing a few places.
"Whoops," Saitama said.
Hero Association...Meeting Room… 6:30 p.m.
Sitch and the rest of the superiors had a private meeting involving the events that had just transpired within a short span of time. First two Threat-Level Dragon monsters, then a woman who dealt with both threats with a single blow each.
Sitch was there along with the rest of the superiors.
"Thank you all for coming under such short notice. As you know we have much to discuss." Sitch said.
"Yes, this is involving that woman. The one that took out two threat Level Dragons with a single blow, correct?" One superior said.
"How long has she been off the radar from the Hero Association. Surely we would have noticed her before now." Another superior said.
"She may have just started as a hero. But she isn't officially registered. Who is this woman?" A different superior said.
"We don't know where she lives, let alone her name. Or the fact of how powerful she is." Sitch said.
"But we have a drone following her, and tracking her location she seems to be heading to the abandoned outskirts of City Z." A Bespectal Worker said.
"This woman is quite an interesting one." The voice of Metal Knight was heard.
"Metal Knight, you decided to join?" A superior said.
"Indeed, I too saw the footage of the woman. One of my drones is following her, hopefully, I can track her and see if we can send a hero in to recruit her for The Hero Registry." The Voice of Metal Knight continued as he spoke through a computer.
"That would be useful. If we find this woman then maybe she'll join the Hero Association." A superior said.
"We'll hold this meeting until we find where she lives, then we may come to a conclusion which Class she's worthy of." A different employee said. That's when the room started to get a little loud. This is where the argument began.
"I believe she should be placed at the top of Class A, Class S would be too inefficient." A superior said.
"On the contrary, she has skills and powers that rival even Blast, So I believe that she should start in the bottom of Class S, and be welcomed to the Elite Force," Sitch said.
"Metal Knight, what do you believe is the best course of action?" A Superior asked.
"I believe that before we ask her to join the Hero Association, we should further observe her and see how she fares on her own." Metal Knight said.
That was a fair point to make. If they could observe her then perhaps it would be possible to get more information on this new hero.
"That sounds fair, from now on until we know as much as we can about this woman, we steer clear from her." a Superior said.
But what they didn't know was that a certain hero was listening to the whole conversation. He smirked as he stood behind the door.
"New hero huh, Guess I'll have to pay her a visit." He said as it revealed a man with long blonde hair and a skinny sword for his weapon. It was none other than Class S Rank 13, Flashy Flash.
Meanwhile with Saitama
Saitama had gotten to her home which the Drones had followed her to. It was an apartment in the middle of The abandoned area for City Z.
She walked into her house with her groceries. Once she was in, she was greeted by her Cat, Lolu. Lolu was sleeping in her Cat Jungle, but as soon as the door opened the cat woke up and jumped off her jungle set. Saitama set down her groceries and petted her cat.
"Hey girl, did you miss me?" Saitama said as she gently stroked Lolu's ear.
The cat purred loudly, as she enjoyed her "mother" being at home.
After that Saitama had gone into the bathroom and washed her gloves. She got into her bathtub and was washing herself off with soap and shampoo. Her wig laid on the sink.
"Every day I come home uninjured and wash my gloves. I just do the hero thing as a hobby, but as long as I get a kick out of it. That's really all I care about. But I've just been missing something in my life. No, it's not the exhilaration of a real fight. It's more of loneliness. I am missing something or someone in my life that I can't simply just ignore. Whoever's out there, may still be waiting for me." Saitama narrated.
She finally got into her sleeping bag and slept it off for tonight. Lolu had fallen asleep in her bed.
(skipping the Unnecessary dream)
Meanwhile at the Hero Association…
Tatsumaki tried to fall asleep in her room at the Hero Association. But all she did was stare at the ceiling. She couldn't get that hero out of her head. She had so many questions, like Who was She? How Did She Become so Strong? And Why did she Become a Hero? Too many questions. She never had so many questions in her head about a single person in her life. Not even her younger sister, Fubuki.
"If the Hero Association finds her, I want to be the first to know." Tatsumaki thought to herself. Hopefully, she could "convince" them her way. By that, she meant to threaten them for her to know.
She rolled on her side and tried to get some shut-eye. Tomorrow was a big day. And probably for more than one hero.
Ending Discussion for Next Week
Tornado of Terror: Do I have to do this?
