A/N: So this week I was going to go without a chapter so I could work on season 3... and then this OVA was released. XD Of course I had to do it, it was in my original plan. Hope you enjoy, and stick around next week for the beginning of season 3... (sidenote: I'm planning to do the Zombieman murder chapter next time.)

Of all the things to cause a huge problem, a bag of chips was not high on Ayano's list.

It all started with Saitama when he struggled to open a bag of chips. On the front of the bag were images of various S Class heroes.

Ayano stared at him. "Are you okay, Master?"

"I'm trying to open this without using too much strength, or it'll burst," Saitama told her.

"Could you be checking to see if they made a trading card of you?" Genos asked, looking up from washing the dishes. He walked over, kneeling down to stare at the chips. "Shall I call the store and order the whole supply?"

"That's not the point, Genos," Saitama said, making a face. "You're so… how should I say it… slow on the uptake? Naive?"

The bag suddenly exploded open, sending chips flying in all different directions. Saitama reached out, grabbing the chips at super speed. However, one of the chips went flying towards Genos' head.

CRACK!

Saitama's hand knocked Genos' head, sending him flying backwards. He crashed into the ground, lying down.

"Huh?" Saitama asked, staring at his male disciple. "What's wrong, Genos?"

"I think you accidentally knocked him out," Ayano told her master.

"I did?" Saitama asked.

Genos suddenly sat up, seemingly back to normal.

"You okay?" Saitama asked him.

"Who the Hell are you?" Genos asked.

"Huh?" Saitama asked, going pale. "Who am I?"

"Yes, who are you?" Genos repeated.

Saitama gave Ayano a glance.

"Is this a joke?" Saitama drawled. "You don't recognise me, or know who you are?"

"Yeah," Genos said, an out of place grin on his face. "But I got that my name's Genos, and that I'm a cyborg!"

"Why do you sound like a kid?" Saitama asked.

"I'm a cyborg, right?" Genos asked, brightly.

"It's rather unusual to see him so… cheerful," Ayano muttered to Saitama. "Maybe his memory will return if we give him some time."

"Who are you?" Genos asked, facing Ayano. "Are you the bald man's girlfriend?"

"Oh come on, first Sonic, now you?" Saitama groaned. "She's a kid!"

"Hey, is it okay if I read this?" Genos asked, holding up some manga.

"Uh… sure, go ahead." Saitama shrugged.

Genos opened the manga, flicking through it.

Hmm, perhaps this could work to my advantage, Ayano thought, observing him closely. If he doesn't know who I am… then he'll be easy to fool.

"So, why am I here again?" Genos asked.

"Well, you came and insisted that I make you my disciple," Saitama told him.

"You shittin' me?!" Genos yelled, slamming the manga on the ground. From what Ayano could tell, it was a manga about bad boys. "I'm your freaking disciple?! No way would I ever become the disciple of a guy whose face I could draw in twenty seconds!"

Saitama paled. "What the…"

"Genos," Ayano suddenly spoke up, her voice calm. "Let's go for a walk."

"Eh?" Genos asked, glaring at her. "Why should I go for a walk with some girl who's got dead fish lookin' eyes?!"

"I think taking him outside will make him remember," Ayano muttered to Saitama.

Saitama nodded, feeling extremely awkward. "Yeah. You two should go on a walk."

Genos' attitude suddenly changed. "Okay! Going on a walk sounds like fun, Ayano-senpai! Uwaaaa!"

He followed Ayano outside, humming a cheerful melody to himself.

Saitama frowned. "Man, that is so weird…"

Ayano and Genos walked through the streets. Ayano made sure to lead him away from where large crowds of people were located. Soon, they were in the abandoned backstreets. Genos held onto her hand, acting like a scared child. He used his other hand to read more manga. Ayano smiled at him sweetly, blinking her eyelashes. This caused Genos to suddenly change his attitude once again.

"Hey, you're pretty cute," he said, slamming her into a wall. "Wanna go out for a bite?"

Ayano stared at him, expression blank.

Genos blushed, turning away from her. "W-what's with that look?! I-It's not like I like you or anything!"

Ayano put a hand on his shoulder. "Oh, Genos…"

Genos put his head in his hands, whimpering. "What's wrong with me? I can't figure myself out, Yan-chan…"

Ayano opened her arms. "Perhaps a hug will make you feel better."

"Okay…" Genos said, glumly. He wrapped his arms around Ayano's form.

"You know, it's weird," he said, her head leaning on his shoulder. "I feel like I have a rivalry with you, but I don't know why…"

Ayano didn't reply, raising a knife towards his power core.

Genos suddenly pushed her away. "Elevated energy levels detected!" He paused. "... wait, what does that mean?" He suddenly jumped into the sky, leaping from building to building. "My legs are moving on their own!"

Ayano followed him on the ground.

"Ayano, what's going on?!" Genos cried out, looking around for her. "Ayano? Where are you?!"

He grimaced, suddenly getting flashbacks. I feel like I'm supposed to be doing something important… but I don't remember what…

He forced himself to land. He spotted Ayano running over to him.

"Oh, Yan-chan, thank God!" he said, enveloping her in another hug. "I have no idea what's going on!"

"Heh heh heh," a voice chuckled. "I didn't realise Demon Cyborg was such a softie."

Ayano managed to escape Genos' suffocating grip, turning to face Garou of all people.

"Garou," she said, briefly. "What brings you here?"

"Who the Hell is this bastard?" Genos growled at Garou, his delinquent persona returning. "What's with that shitty hairdo?"

Garou glared at him. "What'd you say, asshole?!"

Genos blushed. "Uwaaaaa! I'm so sworry senpai! Pwease don't hurt me!"

"What the Hell?" Garou asked, facing Ayano.

"It's a long story," she admitted.

Genos banged his head against his fist. "Why can't I remember?! I feel like that guy is supposed to be someone bad, right, Ayano? Or is he just a weirdo?"

"Does he have amnesia or something?" Garou asked Ayano.

She nodded. "This can work in our favour, though."

Garou waved it off, tch-ing. "Forget it. I don't wanna fight a guy who doesn't even remember he's a hero. Call me back when he's back to normal."

He stormed off, leaving Ayano and Genos by themselves.

"He was scary, Yan-chan," Genos said, grabbing Ayano's shoulders. "Were you friends with him?"

Ayano turned to face him, preparing her knife. Finally, she would get to-

"A MONSTER!"

Genos and Ayano faced a giant, tiger-like monster with wings. It had white fur, yellow eyes and large fangs.

"I am Lord of the Mountains," it called out. "I was created by the spite creatures felt being driven out by you humans." It stood on its hind legs. "I speak to you humans! To take my vengeance, I shall uproot you from your homes!"

"What is that thing?" Genos asked, staring at the monster. The civilians screamed, before noticing the heroes.

"There are heroes here!" the civilians exclaimed. "That's Demon Cyborg and Yan-chan!

"Heroes, huh?" the monster asked.

"Thank God there are heroes here!" the civilians cried. "We're saved!"

"Oh ho!" the Lord of the Mountains chuckled, facing the heroes. "You seek to challenge me?"

Genos hid behind Ayano, allowing her to face the monster alone.

"I don't understand," Genos whimpered. "My body knows what to do, but my head is out of it!"

"Then leave this to me," Ayano replied.

She turned her knife on the monster, leaping into the air. She slashed down, a gash appearing on the monster's side.

The monster bared its teeth at her. "Mountain wail!"

It released a cry of agony, sending Ayano backwards. She stood up again, brandishing her knife. She raced towards the monster.

"Whirlwind!" the monster roared. Wind picked up, trapping Ayano inside a tornado. Hail rained down, striking her multiple times. Her arms were covered in blood.

"Lightning strike!" the monster boomed. Lightning struck the tornado, shocking Ayano. She fell to her knees.

"Ayano!" Genos called out to her, in desperation. He had a weird rivalry towards her (of which he did not understand), but at the same time… he suddenly cared about her. She was… his friend.

"Stay away from her!" he yelled, racing towards the monster.

"Oh, you want some too?" the Lord of the Mountains asked, baring its teeth at him. "Then come and get it!"

A lightning bolt ripped out of the sky, slamming right into Genos. People screamed as Genos crash-landed into a pole.

Dammit… he thought. One hit, and I'm down already… Ayano, I'm…

Then it came back to him. The thought of being in a fight, taking down monsters, comparing himself to Ayano...

He stood up, narrowing his eyes. "Now I remember."

He raced back over to the monster, grabbing its paw between his fingers. Ayano looked up, noticing her fellow disciple.

"You…!" the Lord of the Mountains screamed, glaring down at Genos.

"Thanks to you, Lord of the Mountains, I was able to get my memory back," Genos said. "As thanks… I will help cleanse your anger."

And with one fiery blast, the monster was dead.

Ayano and Genos were walking side by side, no dialogue between them. Then Genos turned to her, his gaze icy.

"You will never surpass me as Saitama's number one disciple," he told her, coldly.

Ayano shrugged. "That is okay." For now.

Genos grimaced. "But I hate you slightly less."

He walked off, leaving her alone. She simply sighed.

A/N: I guess it's fair to say Season 3 is pretty much going to take place in the Monster Association, so we get a break from Akademi... at least for a little while. I hope you're ready... it's also slightly longer than the other seasons lol
