A/N: Short chapter. Also, important note at the end.


-Earlier-

Genos and Captain Mizuki were waiting for the train to arrive, boxes of live crabs stacked high in their arms.

"Do you think we got enough?" Mizuki asked her senior.

"This amount is more than sufficient." Genos stated as the train arrived.

"Well, let's not keep Master Saitama waiting!" Mizuki said with a grin as she and Genos boarded the train, being careful not to spill the crabs everywhere. A bit of searching later found the two heroes sitting in an empty spot, the boxes sitting across from them in the empty seats. Genos stared at nothing as he awaited the train to arrive at the station in City-Z while Captain Mizuki watched out the window she was sitting next to. "I love watching the scenery from the train." she said in a wistful tone.

"Yes. It is a nice view." Genos said with a rare smile as he watched the landscape move in the distance.

"I wonder if I'll be able to outrun a train like this one day." Mizuki pondered aloud.

"If you are successful in attaining the same strength as Master Saitama, then that may be possible." Genos said, earning a wide smile from from the woman before she blinked. His gaze followed hers towards a woman in a long black dress sitting across the aisle. Mizuki's eyes widened when she realized who exactly it was.

"Senpai!" she whispered to Genos's ear. "That's the Blizzard of Hell! Class-B, Rank-1!"

"I recognize her from her photo on the Hero Association Website." Genos replied stoically as he stared at the woman, who merely gazed out at the moving scenery with teary eyes.

"Is she...crying?" Mizuki asked.

"Perhaps she has pollen allergies?" said Genos. Mizuki merely hummed in thought before rising from her seat and walking over to Fubuki.

"You okay?" she asked, causing the woman to quickly rub her eyes before looking up at Mizuki.

"I'm alright." Fubuki responded before noticing who she was talking to. "You're Captain Mizuki, Class-B, Rank-74."

"That's right." Mizuki confirmed with a smile. "And you're the Blizzard of Hell, Class-B, Rank-1."

"That's correct." Fubuki nodded before noticing the boxes behind Mizuki shift and move about.

"They are crabs." Genos answered the question she had in her mind, gaining the attention of both women. "Crabs for our Master."

"Master?" Fubuki said before noticing who she was talking to. "Wait. Aren't you the new hero in Class-S?"

"Yes." was all Genos said before returning his attention forward.

"Sorry about my Senpai. He's...almost always like this." Mizuki explained while rubbing the back of her head.

"Senpai? You train alongside a Class-S hero?" Fubuki asked in surprise.

"That's right." Mizuki nodded before her concerned look returned. "But my question still stands. Are you okay?"

"It's...It's nothing." Fubuki denied as she looked back out the window. Mizuki stared at her for a moment before sighing, not liking to let it drop when Fubuki was clearly not okay.

~RIRIRIRING

She turned back towards Genos as the cyborg answered his phone.

"Hello? Yes." Genos answered before jumping out of his seat. "What?! A bomb?!" Both women turned to him in shock as Mizuki leaned over his shoulder to hear the other side of the conversation.

"Yes! We just got confirmation from Heavy Kong! The culprit is Serial Bomber, a former Class-A hero! He's planted a bomb inside a fast moving train heading for City-Z!"

"City Z?! Which train?!" Genos demanded.

"Yes. The limited express train that left at 2:22 P.M. heading towards City Z!"

"N-No way!" Mizuki gasped in horror, realizing that they were riding that very train.

"He's also messed with the controls so that the train wouldn't stop! It's set to go off at the City Z train station, causing immense destruction of the city! We've notified the citizens nearby to evacuate, but...the bomb seems to be a big one."

"EVERYONE! EVACUATE THE TRAIN!" Genos roared to the nearby passengers after dropping the call. "A BOMB IS ON BOARD! YOU MUST-"

"How are they gonna get off?! The train's still going!" Mizuki yelled in panic, causing Genos to blink in realization.

"You're right. At this speed, jumping off would most likely lead to death." Genos growled. "And the people and crabs will be destroyed if we can't do something."

"But mostly the people." Mizuki said, wondering if Genos might be thinking too much about making their master happy.

"Excuse me." Fubuki spoke up as the citizens began to panic. "Was it true? About there being a bomb on this train?"

"Yes." Genos confirmed. "Blizzard of Hell Fubuki, you are an Esper, correct?"

-Meanwhile-

"Everyone, please calm down!" Mizuki said at the front of the train, doing her best to calm the people down.

"How can we stay calm?!"

"Stop the train!"

"I can't! The brakes are jammed!"

"Of course you can't! You're out here making excu-"

The man was cut off as he was suddenly tossed out the door by an unseen force, screaming until he was gently placed safely on the track, leaving the rest of the passengers to gape at Fubuki, her body surrounded in a glowing aura.

"Everyone, remain calm. I will get you all of the the train one at a time." she explained.

"You're amazing, Miss Fubuki!" exclaimed a young girl. Fubuki recognized her as the Class-C hero called Swim, who had volunteered to help Mizuki search for the bomb. She stared before scowling and getting into her face.

"What are you doing here?! Go and help Captain Mizuki find that bomb!" the esper ordered.

"Y-Yes Ma'am!" Swim nodded before running off, leaving Fubuki to begin using her powers to gently lift the people off the train one-by-one.

-Outside the train-

Genos stood atop the front car of the train before jumping ahead of it and landing the on rails. The train slammed into him as he dug his heels in in an attempt to stop the train from reaching City-Z. His eyes glowed for a moment before scowling as the train's speed kept up it's high speed.

-Inside the train-

Mizuki and Swim were frantically looking in every spot of the train they could to try and locate the bomb.

"It could be anywhere!" Mizuki said to herself as she looked under the seats, wondering if the bomb was little. She blinked when she saw Swim run past her towards the front of the train before following. She caught up just in time to hear her say "I've found the bomb!" to Fubuki. Both women followed Swim to a washroom to find the bomb in question.

"This is it?!" Fubuki gasped as the three gazed at the bomb that was easily larger than all three of them.

"I found it in the bathroom that read occupied, but no one answered when I knocked. I broke the door down and...here it was." Swim explained.

"How the heck did he sneak this thing on board?!" Mizuki gaped as she paled in terror. "And how are we gonna handle it?!"

"That will be my problem." she heard Fubuki say before she was suddenly lifted into the air and out the door, then gently placed on the ground. The moment she was safe, she got to her feet and ran after the train as fast as she could. She managed to scoop swim up moments later as she continued on after the train, which still had the bomb that could destroy Fubuki and Genos when it hit the train station.

'I can't abandon them! I know I can't do anything about the bomb, but if we all had thought of something, we could've-'

Her thoughts were cut off when she saw the train being lifted into the air, wafting through the air like a snake slithering through the sky. She watched as it was wrapped around itself before it exploded, followed by the smoke encircling into a single point until...it vanished.

"No way! Did Blizzard do that?!" Mizuki wondered as she continued to run.

"No! Look up there!" Swim yelled as she pointed up at a figure floating high in the sky. "It's the Tornado of Terror!"

"Really?" Mizuki asked as she looked up into the sky, spotting the glowing figure that was indeed Tornado. "Hey, it is! Let's go thank her!"

She kept up her speed and soon came up towards them, but only to hear Tatsumaki.

"Stop playing those weak heroes." she heard the smaller esper say before taking off. The four heroes stared up at the smaller esper until she was a green twinkle in the sky before reacting. Genos merely stared up at her, a little annoyed that she tossed him aside like a tin can. Swim sighed sadly and looked down at her feet, knowing that she was right about her being weak. Mizuki let out a "hmph!" while planting her hands on her hips. And Fubuki...

"So what if you're stronger than me?" she whispered, her fists clenched and her form trembling in anger. "That doesn't mean I'm weak!"

"That's right." Swim spoke up, catching the esper's attention. "You're not weak. You helped get everyone safely off the train!"

"If she was so great, then where was she all this time?" Mizuki added with a smile.

"Well...maybe." Fubuki muttered before glaring at them. "But she is right. Her power far surpasses mine."

"So?" Mizuki said, her smile not faltering. "If you've got time to cry about being weak, then you've got time to get stronger." The two women stared at the more muscular hero, her smile never leaving her lips the whole time.

"You...You're right." Swim spoke up, a smile of her own beginning to form. "If I sit around and do nothing but cry about being weak, I'll never get stronger." A hint of steel mixed into her expression as she continued. "And if I don't get stronger, I won't be able to rise up to Class-B! And if I can't reach Class-B...then I..." she trailed off, her eyes wandering over towards Fubuki. "I won't...I won't be able to work with those like you, Fubuki."

"Me?" Fubuki blinked at Swim's words.

"Yes!" Swim said with a smile. "I was actually wondering if I should quit the hero business, you seeing you saving all those people and staying behind to take care of the bomb yourself? I felt that I can give the hero thing one more shot!"

"But...I didn't stop the bomb." Fubuki sighed out in disappointment.

"Maybe not, but you still stayed behind and tried. And to me, that's what a real hero is supposed to do."

Fubuki just stared at Swim after the younger hero's statement, unable to think of anything to say to her. Her attention was diverted when both she and Swim looked to Mizuki, who was practically vibrating in joy as she watched their interaction.

"Uhm/Uhh." the two of them said, causing Mizuki to snap out of it and rub the back of her head sheepishly.

"Sorry. I was just really moved there." she chuckled.

"Hmm." Fubuki hummed as she closed her eyes in thought. After a few moments, Swim spoke up in concern.

"Um...Miss Fubuki-

"Blizzard."

Swim was silent when Fubuki cut her off, a soft smile coming to the esper's face.

"That is what those who serve under me call me. And I expect you to do the same one day." she explained, causing Swim to smile back.

"Yes, Miss Blizzard!" she answered.

"If you are aiming to become stronger, perhaps our master's words of wisdom may help." Genos spoke up, catching their attention.

"You mean about how if heroes run, who's left to help?" Mizuki recited.

"No." Genos said with a shake of his head. "It was what he said when he first explained how he got so strong. He said that human beings can become strong, because they can change themselves."

"Change?" Fubuki said.

"Themselves?" Swim finished. Genos said nothing else before turning and walking away.

"Where you going, Senpai?" Mizuki asked.

"To get more crabs." Genos replied before taking off.

"He really likes crabs, doesn't he?" Swim asked.

"Sorry about Genos-Senpai." Mizuki said with a sigh. "He just really wants to make sure our master's celebration...is..."

The two other women blinked as Mizuki trailed off, a thoughtful look coming over her expression. They flinched when she suddenly grinned and clapped them both on their shoulders.

"Say! Why don't you two train under our master too?!" she offered out of the blue.

"You-...wait? What?!" Fubuki finally managed to say.

"Train under your master?" Swim asked, wondering if she heard right.

"Yeah!" Mizuki nodded. "He's strong and kind and a hero too!" She turned her gaze towards Swim. "You could easily get into Class-B!" She then turned her attention towards Fubuki. "And who knows? You may even be able to surpass Tornado!"

The moment the last word left Mizuki's lips, Fubuki's expression shifted into a disinterested scowl before she turned and started walking away.

"Not interested." she said, leaving the two other heroes alone.

"Really?" Mizuki muttered to herself before sighing and shrugging her shoulders. "Oh well. I won't force her." She then turned back to Swim. "What about you?"

"Um..." Swim answered as she fidgeted a bit. "I don't know. I mean, a Class-S hero calls them master, so they must be strong, but..."

"I won't force you either." Mizuki spoke up with a smile before planting her hand on Swim's shoulder. "If you do decide, come to the abandoned district of City-Z. If not, then remember our master's words and grow stronger." Swim smiled at her with a nod before the two departed.

-Present-

"And after that, I came back here." Mizuki finished.

"Wooow." Midori breathed as she and everyone else listened to the story.

"Quite a tale." Bang mused aloud.

"I'm just glad that everyone got out alive." Jet Nice Girl said.

"Same." TT Girl agreed with a nod.

"Yeah." Mizuki said before sighing. "Though I am a little upset that we couldn't get you those crabs for your celebration, Master Saitama."

"Meh. There's more crabs out there." Saitama shrugged off before smiling at her. "As long as you and the others are good, then it's okay."

Mizuki's mouth parted slightly at his words before smiling at the ground, a small blush on her face.

"T-Thanks, Master." she said.

"So," Sub Queen whispered to the Beast Queen as the others continued to talk. "I take it you're not upset about them talking about sea creatures like that?"

"Didn't I say it before? Fish eat fish." Deep Sea Queen replied before tenderly rubbing one of her nipples. "Honestly, I think the sea floor would be better without those little pinching bastards!" she growled the last bit.

"Uh, 'scuse me?"

Everyone stopped their conversation and turned to Vaccine Woman, who took a moment to take a drink from the canned beverage she was drinking. She then removed the can before giving Mizuki a flat look. "Hate to ruin the happy mood, but I just wanted to point out a little problem in your story."

"Um...what problem?" Mizuki asked in confusion.

"That little problem about where you invited two more heroes to train under Master Saitama." she answered before taking another swig of her drink.

"What's wrong with that?" Mizuki asked with a huff. "With more heroes training under Saitama, the stronger they can get, and the more they can defeat monsters. Well, monsters that still want to kill humans." she tacked on at the end while glancing at the other monsters nearby.

"Mmhmm." Vaccine Woman nodded before downing the last of her drink. "Well, that's a good cause. You just forgot one little detail."

"And that is?" Mizuki asked.

"You invited them here, where we all live!" she finally pointed out. Mizuki blinked at her words before she, and almost everyone else, turned pale.

"OOOHHH SHIIIITTTTT!" Mizuki roared in panic.

"Well, this isn't good." Beast Queen grumbled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Mizuki whimpered on repeat, comical tears falling from her eyes.

"Don't sweat it." said Midori as she patted Mizuki's shoulder. The hero turned the smiling monster before she continued. "If they do come, then Saitama can just show them why we don't fight and they'll come around. It's happened before, and I gotta feeling it won't fail."

"Really?" Mizuki asked after sucking up the trail of snot that was forming from her nose.

"Yeah." Midori nodded with a grin, which Mizuki copied a moment later, albeit tears were still in her eyes. The mood lightened as everyone continued to bring Mizuki's spirits up, with only one keping quiet.

"Humans drink this poison?" Vaccine Woman scowled as she glanced at the can she was holding. "I think I need to take a little walk tomorrow."


A/N: F-ckthesystem125 and IcySnowSage would like to ask you, the readers, on the opinion of Swim. She is a girl, and she's a hero. But is she old enough to be a candidate? Please help us by sending in the info of her age so we don't do something we may regret. Thank you!
