Bonus: Chapter 55 (Fear Humankind)
"Mmmm." Black*Rock Shooter blinked a few times before opening her eyes completely. She was on Saitama's back, he was carrying her.
One Punch Man shifted his head to face Mato while he was sprinting toward Wall Sina. "Oh, you're awake." Black*Rock Shooter made eye contact with Saitama and answer to him.
"Y-yeah. I know what happened before, three human monsters brainwashed me." Kuroi replied with her emotionelss face.
Saitama knew she meant Reiner, Annie and the third guy. However the only thing Saitama wanted was to return back in Wall Sina.
"At least you finally understood you was doing the wrong thing, you can't just walk around and killing people." The hero exclaimed to her in a neutral expression.
"I thought I'm was doing the right thing..." Black*Rock Shooter look away with slightly shame. Saitama took a glance behind them, he saw a ferocious ESper flying towards them in high speed.
"Who is she?" Kuroi asked without concern written on her face. Saitama had the same blank expression, but he respond for her.
"It's a sassy child. Named Tatsumaki. She is quite powerful for you and Genos." Black*Rock Shooter raised an eyebrow and ask One Punch Man with moderately curiosity.
"Is she an enemy? Who is Genos?" Saitama shifted his head back forward and said. "She is not out enemy, but she like hurting others for no reason. As for Genos he's a cyborg and he's one of my disciples." Saitama's answer made Black*Rock Shooter's interest to bloom.
"One of your students... That's why you're so strong, amazing." Saitama didn't want to talk about his immense power plus potential.
Mato didn't receive an answer, she resume for him. "You're quite humble with your power, that's why you hiding it, don't you?" She asked again while her bright blue eyes were locked on Saitama's baldness.
"It's not like I try to hide it..." Saitama mumbled. The shooter knew Saitama was holding back in their fight.
"...What we doing with her?" Black*Rock Shooter asked and pointed behind at Tatsumaki.
"Oh? I forgot about her, hold tight." Mato did what he told her, she wrapped her arms around Saitama's neck and hold onto him.
"Dashing..." Saitama said and increased his speed tremendously, Black*Rock Shooter's eyes were slightly watering from their incredible speed.
'That man... He's strong...' She stated inside her thoughts and stare at her carrier.
'That's not what I'm was hoping for, the sassy child is extra mad right now. I should apologize about the headbutt...' Saitama showed slightly worry about what he did to Tatsumaki before.
"We reached the second Wall named Rose, hang on." Black*Rock Shooter hardened her grip over Saitama's head. One Punch Man jumped from the ground and reached atop of Wall Rose.
When he landed next to a cannon, a Garrison soldier saw him with a odd black girl wrapped on his back. "Woah! It's One Punch Man!" The man shouted excited as he waved at the other Garrison members behind him.
Another guard smiled with a cocky face and whispered. "He's not alone, that hot black-style girl must be his girlfriend." Saitama heared that from a ten meters distance, cause of his sixth senses.
The hero's face turned slightly shy and angry toward them. "Oi, cut that out." Saitama replied to the small crowd of Garrison soldiers, leaving them greatly shocked.
"Wh-WHAA!? Forgive me One Punch Man, I didn't know you could hear that well." The guard looked down embarrassed. Saitama ignored him and heared Mato from behind his back.
"They told me... about humans named Eldians..." Mato took a glance around them, she saw an exact fifty meters Wall just like the previous one they were fighting in. "This is where... ...we have to be?"
Black*Rock Shooter asked Saitama whilst he scratch his head for a moment.
"Not exactly, I will get you back in a Wall like this one, but tye only difference is the name tag." One of the guards who was brave enough ask. "On- One Punch Man... You taking her into Wall Sina? I'm just asking! Nothing concerns me!" The guard dropped a sweat from his forehead tremendously scared while Saitama took a small breath to answer his question.
"Yup. Not much you guys need to know, she's not your problem. I'll just take her to the Queen, she will know what to do... I guess." Saitama uttered with moderately disbelief in his own words.
"Wha-What the hell is that?!" Another Garrison member pointed at the horizon, they saw a huge green hurricane approaching Wall Rose. Nobody saw what it was except for two. Saitama and Kuroi spotted Tatsumaki inside of the hurricane, she was so pissed at Saitama for what he did to her.
"I WILL TURN YOU INTO ASHES WHEN I FIND YOU BALDY!" Tatsumaki shouted and took deadly glares with her emerald-green eyes atop of Wall Rose, hopefully to see the yellow suit hero.
"We must go. Now." Saitama said and Mato hold him tight once more. "Oi! You won't help us with that thing!?" A guard asked scared. Saitama shifted his haze at them and answer. "She wants me, she won't do anything to you if she won't find me here." Saitama focused his look forward again. He took a few steps back and run at the other side. He made a massive leap with Black*Rock Shooter on his back.
He didn't even put the slightest effort, but him and Kuroi reached the inner gate of Wall Rose in a matter of seconds. "Wall Sina ain't far from here." Saitama said and planted a blank expression on his apathetic face.
"...Okay." Mato mumbled from his back as she look for a second behind, the green hurricane had already reached the outer gate.
The ferocious ESper stopped the hurricane and landed front of the Garrison soldiers with her black heels. Tatsumaki shook her head multiple times to search Saitama, however she hissed in anger after a few seconds. Green aura covered her, she crossed her arms together and float near the scared guards.
"Did ANY of you weak hindrances saw a bald guy? You all idiots know and call him 'One Punch Man.' I will show him who's the strongest hero! That stupid egghead!" None of the guards dared to begin an argue with her, they all knew Terrible Tornado, but they knew Saitama was the strongest hero as well.
One of them who had enough guts spoke "Wall Si-S..." Tatsumaki immediately approached and plowed on him. Her angry expression made him show tears from fear. "He's returning to Wall Sina! With a weird girl on his back! Just Don't hurt us Terrible Tornado!" He bowed down to the ground in fear, the others did the same scared.
"Hmph! Be thankful for showing you mercy." Tatsumaki ended her words and flew away from them, the guards sighed relieved.
"We'll be there in ten minutes." Saitama said at Kuroi as she rest on his back again. "Thanks..." She mumbled to him.
"Huh? Why." Saitama rised his eyebrows considerably confused.
"If you wasn't there to stop me... I could have killed thousands of innocents..." Black*Rock Shooter stated disappointed for herself.
"I only told you the truth. That's all." Saitama finished and kept running in the open fields to reach Wall Sina where all the others were.
Jean walk outside of a room tired, his hair were also messy. "I never expected that kind of favour. Hell of a girl. I can't believe I licked her feet!" Jean hissed at himself whilst he blushed at his thought about earlier with Tatsumaki.
'I must find out what happened to the others! I hope they're alright!' Jean shouted inside his mind whilst he sprinted toward Connie's and Sasha's room.
Meanwhile in Historia's bedroom
Blast was right next of Historia, same for Garou. Except Killer Wolf was wolfing down a piece of cooked steak. Erwin was sitting next to her, Levi was staring outside of the window with his calmed expression. "My Queen. Thanks to Captain Levi, all of them are resting in their rooms. We escaped the epidemic." Blast stated and planted his heroic smile.
Historia took off her crown and place it on the table. "My protector still hasn't arrived from the mission?" The blonde Queen asked. Erwin planted a tiny smile on his face.
"We all know One Punch Man's capabilities, he will be back in no time. My Majesty, I'm sure of it." Commander's words brought relief in the Queen's mind. "Yeah." Historia walk near the window and stare outside next to Levi.
Levi was drinking a cup of black tea, he was holding the cup with his iconic stance from above. "He is coming." Levi's sharp gaze focused on the horizon, he knew Saitama was late. Something else happened. Something all of them were about to find out.
Saitama after a couple of minutes saw Wall Sina. "We are here." He said to Black*Rock Shooter as he leaped effortlessly once more and reached atop of the Wall. "Looks almost the same..." Mato replied. She had accepted the truth, she was inside another world, in a different dimension with a different timeline.
"One Punch Man! You returned!" Nile was atop of the Wall with some of his subordinates. "Oh? You knew I'm was gone too?" Saitama asked without carrying about Tatsumaki who was reaching slowly.
"Erwin told me about your mission. Did you put the killer behind iron bars?" Saitama nodded and picked his nose.
"Who was it? May I ask." Nile shook his hands curious.
"Marlo was his first name, I don't remember his last name, it was too long." Nile widen his irises and holded his chin. "Marlo Freudenberg... Why?" Saitama shrugged and took his gaze off Nile.
Hitch saw One Punch Man near her superior officer, she walk near them with a huge smile.
"Heyyy Saitama~" The Caped hero shifted his gaze at her. He saw a cute model-looking girl in a Military Police uniform. "Who are you?" He asked while Black*Rock Shooter behind him was watching the city from inside of the Wall.
"Ohhh! My! I'm sorry, I never introduce myself to you. My name's Hitch." She said and bit her lips, the hero remembered what Marlo told him about her. Saitama didn't spoke about Marlo.
"We gotta go. I'll see you later Hitch." Hitch nodded and winked at him.
Saitama got slightly nervous about Hitch's face. Marlo was right about her, loving Saitama like most of the girls inside the three Walls.
"There's the HQ. Queen Historia is waiting with the others for you, One Punch Man." Nile pointed out for Saitama.
"Okay." The hero snorted in boredom before turning back to face the badass shooter.
"Grab on." Black*Rock Shooter climb on Saitama's back once again, he jump down on a roof and headed with her towards the HeadQuarters.
Genos was waiting patiently with Akame. Both of them knew their master will return sooner or later that afternoon.
"S-Sis?" Akame heared her little sister from behind her. Kurome was finally awake and herself. "Kurome!" Akame hug her little sister tremendously worried about her.
"Hmm." Genos gave them some privacy and walk outside of the room, he was staring the long hallway with other rooms from both sides. The cyborg rest on the wall next to the door of their room, he was thinking about something.
'Sensei, it's truly magnificent. Our adventures in this world, the things we learned the past 2 years we are here. I'm wondering what the others are doing in our world right now, are they worried about us? Silverfang is still waiting for his greatest disciple Garou to return? Did the Hero Association forgot about us? I cannot know at this point.' Genos continue talking in his mind.
'I still remember your mighty words of wisdom about human beings, they are strong because they can change themselfs. Too bad I'm not a totally human anymore, however I will be on your side! No matter what happens. Sensei!' Genos finished determined phrases inside his mind and remained silent in the hallway.
Saitama and Black*Rock Shooter reached Historia's dorm window. Saitama gently knock the window a fee times with his finger. "It's him!" Garou saw Saitama before anyone else.
"Open the window." Levi ordered a Military Police guard who was inside the room. He opened it and let the duo inside. "One Punch Man. You have returned, did you deal with the killer in Wall Maria?" Erwin plowed and asked the hero whilst he let Mato down.
"You should be worried about the people that got killed when she and the other three arrived in Wall Maria, they wanted to... I don't know what was their goal actually." Saitama scratched his back and stare Erwin, then back to Levi.
Blast entered the conversation. As he walk forward he ask. "What are you talking about One Punch Man? Who is she?" The blue cape hero was moderately curious to meet Kuroi.
"She? She got manipulated by Reiner, he came with her and with the other girl Annie, Oh! I also encountered a guy I never fought before, don't remember his name tho." Everyone except Saitama and Mato got shocked.
"What the heck is that?" Garou pointed out. He was analysing Black*Rock Shooter's cannon on her back. Kuroi spoke next to Saitama. "That's my *Rock Cannon. I'm fighting monster across the world to bring peace in humanity." Erwin holded his chin quite impressed.
Historia walk closer toward Saitama and the shooter. She had a nervously face. "Protector... what happened in Wall Maria?" Historia lifted her hand and touched Saitama's cheek. "That's kinda awkward but you can all say I 'Fought' Reiner, his other two comrades and her." Saitama finished and pointed Mato, who was standing next to him.
Historia frowned and walk back scared. Blast placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. "It's everything alright our Majesty, One Punch Man took care of them, Right?" Blast asked. Everyone was now had their gazes onto Saitama.
"Well, I crippled them a little, with only a single attack. It was pretty boring, however I prevent hundreds more deaths from happening." Levi rised an eyebrow and drink a few drops from his black tea.
"How they dared to attack Wall Maria anyway, they were having more people with them except for her?" Saitama nodded negatively.
"Nope, just her." Saitama took a quick glance at the shooter. "You said they manipulated her earlier, you mean she killed people as well before you arrive to save the day?" Erwin had a good point, Saitama thought about it and hid the truth, he didn't want to have anymore trouble.
"Nope, she only broke the gate I think, is that correct?" One Punch Man stopped his words to look Mato. "...Yes, that's all I did, and I'm truly sorry. I thought I'm was doing the right thing, they told me if I helped them kill all the people inside these three Walls, humanity will be saved." Erwin and Blast widen their eyes as Levi thought about it.
"Tch. Filthy creatures." Levi cursed Reiner and his two companions. "Why you didn't capture them then?! You goof!" Garou shouted from the corner of the room.
"Nah, I want a challenge to kill my boredom, I hope they will be stronger next time." Garou forgot to who he was talking about. "Forget it."
"Tell me... My Protector." "Oh?" Saitama shifted his head at Queen Historia. "The third guy... Did he transformed into a titan?" She asked and waited impatiently his response.
"All of them did, except for her." Saitama pointed Kuroi again.
"His transformation, how was it looked like?" Saitama tried to remember a few details about Galliard's titan form. "His titan was tiny, he had an ugly face with circular jaws and sharp nails." Historia touched her head extremely sad.
"Ymir..." She knew what happened now.
"Are you okay?" Even Garou cared about the Queen at this point. "She told me everything in the letter she send me, now I know what was her tragic end." Historia let some tears fall over her face.
"My Queen. Please don't do this to yourself." Erwin walk closer to Historia, he helped her to sat on a chair.
Black*Rock Shooter was ready to speak again. "I want to fight for good and not embrace evil, but to hunt it and bring it down." She uttered in a serious-calm tone toward everyone.
"You're in the good side, be sure to remember that." Levi stated in a low tone as well.
"Is that cannon behind your back functional?" Levi asked again in slightly surprice about Mato's weapon. "...Yes." She mumbled serious and made it clear for them.
"Erwin." The short Captain took Commander's attention.
"Yes. Levi." "I want her to be in my Squad like the others." Levi stated whilst he was taking glances at Saitama and Kuroi. "Queen, can sh-" Historia cut off Erwin to answer.
"Yes. She can join Captain Levi's team." Erwin nodded and planted a small smile on his face.
"As you wish my Queen." He finished what he had to say. "What about her hero name? Everyone will keep looking at her." Garou said considerably concerned about the shooter.
"Saitama. You said she broke the gate of Wall Maria on accident, with Reiner and the others right?" Levi asked and put his cup of black tea down. "Yeah, but she didn't want to do it."
"I don't meant that. Hmm, what about 'Badass Shooter.' is that good enough?" Levi rised his eyebrows and asked Mato.
"Okay..." The shooter agreed with Levi about her hero name. "You own me a lobster meal." Saitama exclaimed at Erwin, he made Historia to let out a giggle of joy.
"Ye-Yeah, I totally didn't forgot about that..." Erwin had promised to Saitama about the sea food.
"Oh? You look afraid, if you don't have lobster then some meat." Erwin sighed in relief with Saitama's answer. "As you wish, it will be served at your room."
"Go rest, tomorrow you'll meet the rest of your comrades." Levi replied and ended his phrase.
"...Okay." Black*Rock Shooter walk outside of the room with Saitama. Before he close the door Saitama made a last question. "Don't tell me she will sleep in my room." The Caped hero felt slightly fear.
"Of Course she will." The Captain stated serious.
"WHAAAAT!? We don't have enough beds for that!" Saitama shouted while he was moving his hands up and down, he was looking like a fool.
"Don't worry about it. 2 beds will be added in your room tomorrow, since you're six people sleeping in there." Levi explained toward Saitama.
"Oh, okay then." Saitama slowly closed the door behind him and left with Black*Rock Shooter.
"Where we going?" She asked and let him take the lead forward. "In our room, new roommate." Saitama felt cold sweat falling from his head after he said that.
After 5 minutes
"I AM NO SLAVE!" They heared a voice screaming from a door they just walk by. "Huh? Was that Eren?" Saitama asked and walk near the door.
"Wait here." The shooter nodded and waited outside the door as Saitama entered inside. Eren shook his head at the door and saw him. "Saitama! I saw a terrible nightmare! I'm was a slave of somekind of passion poison!" Eren hold his messy hair tightly. "It was real actually. But you feel yourself now. Right?"
"Yes, I feel normal again. Tsk! I don't want to be possessed again!" Saitama picked his nose and reply with his blank face. "Don't drink whatever smells good if you don't know what is it then." Eren nodded disappointed for himself. "I promise, I won't do it again." Saitama head to the exit door but he remembered something.
"Oh. By the way, tomorrow you will meet a new recruit of our team. Levi guy confirmed it to me." Eren look at Saitama in greatly confusion. "New recruit? A Scout or a Hero?" Saitama answer his question before he leave Eren to rest. "A hero, female." He ended his words and left the room.
Eren thought to himself. 'A new hero... but who?' He didn't had a clue, however he gave up and fell to sleep.
"That was one of my comrades I'll meet tomorrow?" Mato asked and stare Saitama with her blue eyes. "Yeah, he's name is Eren. He have the power to transform into a titan like the three others that manipulated you." Black*Rock Shooter felt moderately surprised about that information. "He is secretly evil as well?" She asked the hero again.
"I don't know... yet." Saitama had a feeling Eren would betray everyone at some point. "Let's just go get some rest." One Punch Man ended their conversation there and walk forward. "Okay..." She mumbled and followed him in the dark hallway.
"Oh no..." Saitama whispered to himself. He saw a person walking from the other side of the hallway towards them. Only the candles were lightening the way but he clearly understood who was it. It was Mikasa, they could hear her heavy steps.
She stopped front of them and stare Saitama in hatred, then Kuroi grabbed her attention. "Another freak like you that is coming from your sick world?" Mikasa asked angrily.
"She is from a different world, but I highly doubt from mine." One Punch Man shrugged and tried to calm Mikasa down.
"You feel better? I mean yourself." Saitama asked kinda worried for her. He wanted to wipe the hate Mikasa had for him.
