City J, ever since the attack that came from the sea folk a good deal of things had happened. Besides repairs to any and all buildings, vehicles, and so forth caused by the sea folk which were covered completely by the association, Sweet Mask also came to the city and performed his latest album in a free entry benefit concert, and the city also received a few new additions. The first of these additions was of course a brand spanking new emergency shelter for if another event like the sea folk attack or possibly worse should happen, this time with assurance from Metal Knight himself there should be no way anything could put so much as a dent into the building, let alone smash a hole through it. Then there was a new addition to the beach, nothing extreme like a massive wall or anything but sensor buoys had been deployed to keep track of any abnormal movement below the waves, but they also did help ensure the safety of all boaters, divers, and civilians in general.
The final addition was a brand new radar detection system for the branch office located in the city, for if the buoys should miss something or perhaps if the threat wasn't coming from the ocean, this way they'd be a step ahead of the threat and would be able to warn the people long before it arrived. All in all while the attack had been devastating no one miraculously was killed, so the healing process for the people of this fine city didn't take too long, and so they were able to quickly return to their everyday lives as though the whole thing had been just one big nightmare. Which is exactly why it is oh so ironic that because of the newly installed security precautions that City J was the best choice for doctor Genus and Metal Knight to unleash their unholy monstrosity, as by the time it would get there everyone would be long gone.
"Are we set to go doctor Genus?" Metal Knight asked as his robot looked towards both the aforementioned scientist, as well as their slumbering creation.
Deciding to release their creation a hundred miles from the city, the duo took several precautions beforehand to ensure that not only would they be perfectly safe, but also that the creature would without doubt goes towards their designated destination. In order to ensure this, they had installed within the creature's brain a device that would only become active if it received a very specific transmission, where once it did the device would then come online and cause the creature immeasurable pain all the while directing it where to go to get this pain to stop. As for how they managed to transport it in absolute secret that was thanks entirely to Metal Knight, as he constantly has shipping containers whether they be on trucks or otherwise being moved all over the place, so simply hiding it in one of them was of no issue at all.
"Yes, everything is in order." Dr. Genus replied as he took a step back "What do you think their reaction will be when they see it, do you think they'll recognize him?" He asked.
"Doubtful, besides the god awful mutilation of it's form we've also altered the color of it's body and have made it's current form it's only form, meaning if it should go into the water there will be no transformation as what occurred when it began to rain on that day." Metal Knight replied as he looked towards the creature "Still, I do believe they will reel when they see it, it is rather ghastly." He admitted causing the other to smirk.
"After what this thing did to MY creations, I took a great deal of satisfaction of how horribly we've mangled it's former self." Dr. Genus said as he pushed his glasses up slightly "At any rate, I should be getting back to the house in order to properly monitor it."
"Yes, and I need to get the evacuation preparations ready to ensure everyone in City J will get out long before it arrives." Metal Knight replied.
With but a nod being shared between them the two geniuses set off in their own directions to get their plan underway, all the while their creation simply laid on the ground seemingly lifeless, awaiting to be awakened.

"Geryuganshoop"
...
...
...
"Geryuganshoop where are you?"
...
...
...
"GERYUGANSHOOP!"
Jolting up with widened eyes and his heart beating faster than it had in some time, Geryuganshoop frantically looked around himself to gather his bearings. Thankfully as he looked around him he realized that this room, while not Tatsumaki's room was still a room located within the resort, causing him to release a sigh of relief. And while his mind should've asked whose room this was and how he came to be in it, it was far too focused on the voice that had spoken to him during his sleep.
"It's been twenty years...it couldn't...there's no way..." He thought as he put a tendril to his head.
Unfortunately for the slightly panicked alien he wouldn't be able to dwell on his thoughts for too long, as after a few more minutes the door of the room opened slightly gaining his attention.
"Oh you're awake!" Kaemon exclaimed with a smile as they stepped inside.
Watching as this strange pitch black creature with seaweed for hair entered the room, before Geryuganshoop could ask even a single question Kaemon was one step ahead of him.
"Before you say anything, let me explain." They spoke as they held up one finger "First you're in Saitama's room, you know One Punch Man? second, you're here because you got headbutted by Mutsuko, she's this big mosquito lady, third Tatsumaki and Fubuki know you're here, and four, you don't have to worry your secret is safe with us." They explained as they had counted each individual thing with their hand.
Remaining silent for the next few seconds after they were done, Geryuganshoop thinking hard about the last thing he could remember did recall flying through the air eating chips when he was suddenly struck with something and passed out, and given the fact he was still safe and hadn't be found out, he didn't really see any reason to distrust this creature or believe anything they were saying wasn't true.
"Okay...say I do believe you." He spoke as he raised a tendril and pointed towards them "Where are Tatsumaki and Fubuki?" He asked.
"They went to go get some lunch with Saitama, they would've eaten here but they figured it'd be too suspicious." Kaemon answered as they walked over to the bed "So, how're you feeling?" They asked.
"Well...besides a sense of deja vu I seem to be alright." He replied as he sat up.
"Deja vu? has this happened before?" They asked.
"When I first met Tatsumaki, I was nearly dead and I woke up in her bedroom." He answered.
"So she saved you then?" They asked.
"Yes, she could've left me to die or even killed me and yet she spared me." He answered as a small smile came to his face.
"That kinda sounds like what Saitama did for me." They replied as they sat down on the bed "When we first met I wanted to kill him so I could prove to my kind I was strong, but then he beat me without even trying and he didn't even kill me." They said.
"I thought he was called One Punch Man though?" He asked.
"He is, but he tends to avoid punching people if he can, he really only does it if he's got no other choice." They answered.
"Huh, sounds like the exact opposite of Boros." He admitted.
"Oh yeah the guy who fought Saitama, Tatsumaki told us about him, but she didn't really say what he was like." They replied.
"Believe me he was anything but merciful." He told them as he looked down at his body "To Boros being strong is all that mattered, which is how he became the dominator of the universe, he went from planet to planet conquering it if it had something he wanted, or if it just had someone he wanted to be a part of his crew."
"Sounds like someone I used to know." They admitted as they looked down at their lap "I used to serve someone called the Sea King, and he was horrible."
"What did he do?" He asked.
"He made fun of me all the time, would rip my kombu off along with the other sea folk whenever they wanted a snack, and he always made me feel like I wasn't worth anything because I wasn't as strong as he was." They answered.
"A bit crueler than Boros, but they do seem similar." He said as he looked towards the ceiling "It's honestly hard to believe that he's actually dead, I never thought such a time would come..." He admitted.
"That's how I felt about the Sea King, but then Saitama just killed him a single punch of course, almost like he was just swatting a fly." They replied.
"Don't you find that strange though?" He asked as he looked back to them "We were forced to endure the rule of tyrants, and yet here is this seemingly normal human being who can destroy anything he comes across in a single punch, how is that even possible?" He continued as he crossed two of his tendrils "And another thing, how is it that HE has so much power and no one else? I mean sure I'm the supreme telekinetic power of the universe, and Tatsumaki is powerful too, but then you have this guy who just seems to be the strongest being in the whole universe who did barely anything to obtain such power." He pointed out.
Taking a moment to think about their response, Kaemon did agree that Saitama being this normal guy yet having so much power was pretty weird, but thinking on what kind of person he was made coming up with something to say pretty easy.
"Well...the way I see it he deserves to be that powerful." They admitted as they put a hand to their chin "When I think about Sea King and how horrible he was, he was always trying to show off and prove how amazing he was to everything around him, but then you have Saitama and while he is the strongest person in the world he still just lives in a normal apartment and is a pretty normal guy." They explained.
"So because he isn't trying to be powerful that's what makes him deserving of such power?" Geryuganshoop questioned.
"I guess? but I think it's more like that because he doesn't want to hurt people, or conquer things, or be a bad person that he has such power, because he won't misuse it or anything." They replied.
Taking a moment of his own to think about what Kaemon had said, Geryuganshoop found the notion they presented pretty interesting, that power was given based on one's desire to obtain it, as well as what they desired to do with it once they had it. But before he was able to think any more on it, Kaemon decided the best way to lighten the mood and make Geryuganshoop feel more relaxed and at ease with all that had happened would be to turn on the television and watch whatever seemed good. And to be fair that wasn't a bad idea, since most of his time had been spent hiding away in a room he'd gotten accustomed to most of earth's television programs and found many of them to be quite entertaining while the others were either interesting or unusual. Unfortunately for the both of them, the moment the television came on and Kaemon had flipped through a few of the channels, they came across a news network that was broadcasting live from City J, and what was on the screen was enough to send chills down both of their spines.
"Association Officials are still unsure themselves as to where the creature originated from as well as why it is currently rampaging through the city, however besides the beast's display of unbridled blood lust and carnage, it is clear that the strength it possesses far exceeds that of any B or A class hero, as so far all heroes who have arrived on scene to try and deal with it have been swatted away like flies or have simply been unable to do anything to the creature in the way of harm or deterrence." The female reporter on screen explained as she and her crew were standing a good few miles outside of the city, and yet despite this many explosions and signs of conflict could be seen clear as day happening behind them.
However, what had shocked Kaemon and Geryuganshoop wasn't the fact that there was a monster rampaging through City J, but rather the image the news crew had of the creature which they had displayed on screen. Though blurred and not showing it in the clearest of picture, it was still easily seen that this monster was nothing like either Kaemon or Geryuganshoop had ever seen before, from it's intimidating massive size to how it's form seemed to be some kind of twisted amalgamation of flesh and metal, even just this single blurred image of the horror was enough to disgust and unsettle them.
"Whoa...what is that thing?..." Kaemon asked as they had never seen anything like it.
"It looks like it could be a cyborg." Geryuganshoop answered as he put a tendril to his chin "Though it's not like any I've ever seen, then again you humans don't really seem to have the best handle on such things yet, so it makes sense why it looks so...disturbing..." He explained.
"Well disturbing or not I need to go tell Saitama about it!" They exclaimed as they hopped off the bed and headed to the door.
"Why do you need to tell Saitama about this?" He asked them as he looked towards them.
"You heard what the news lady said, it's too strong for B and A class heroes, only an S class can handle it!" They answered before hurrying out the door.
Looking back to the television after that response, Geryuganshoop watched as more destruction could be seen happening in the city behind the reporter, and even though he wasn't a hero nor had any obligation to do anything, he couldn't keep an uneasy feeling from building up inside of him.
"Even if Kaemon tells Saitama and the others about it, there's no way any of them except for Tatsumaki will make it there in time." He thought to himself as he looked towards the window, which was still hidden by curtains "There's no telling how much more it'll destroy before they arrive either, or if it'll leave the city and go after the people nearby..." He continued to ponder as he slowly got up from the bed and moved his tendrils to the floor "I'm not a hero, but maybe I can do something." He reasoned.
And so, within but a fraction of a second the curtains were pulled away, the window was opened, and Geryuganshoop was gone from the room, leaving the television on to continue showing the monster's destruction.
Thirty Minutes Prior...
Limbo, a word commonly used to describe or depict a state of being where one's soul or spirit is trapped within a hell of it's own making, to be caught within one's own memories and sins and to been shown them endlessly as though it were a sentence given to them for the life they had lived. Now most would think that reliving one's memories and life wouldn't be any kind of torture whatsoever, for if someone even if they should be a vile and evil soul who committed the most horrific of acts enjoyed what they had done, they would take pleasure in seeing these events replaying again and again would they not? But what if the limbo one was to find themselves within was a limbo not of their own making, but rather a prison crafted for them by an outside force that they could not control or keep from doing so. And what if this prison crafted for them was greater than any hell or torture one could ever hope to conceive, a never ending torment that numbed one's mind and soul rendering all thoughts and emotions meaningless and pointless.
This was the state that the once mighty Sea King found himself in, for after his encounter with One Punch Man he was embraced by death, and while it was alarming at first as it always is, it was cold yet comforting as it beckoned his soul from his mortal form to whatever the afterlife had in store for him. But just as he was about to pass on and receive whatever bounty or penance that awaited him, the cold of death's touch was replaced by a familiar warmth, soon followed by the feeling of being in control of a body once more. Though as this warmth continued to wash over him and he could slowly feel things like arms and legs return to him, it was soon met with the feeling of excruciating pain and agony as the flesh that was returning was being torn and ripped away at as though he was being mauled. Wanting to scream and thrash about in response to such horrible pain he found he was unable to despite knowing very well he had his limbs again, but as a few more minutes passed by he would have his eyes open for the first time since this whole experience began, and what awaited his gaze was anything but welcoming.
Standing over him was a human male wearing some kind of clothing he'd never seen before, and while that in of itself was alarming it was the look on the human's face that was the most distressing. A twisted grin lacking any semblance of sanity or compassion was plastered across his face, and once he noticed that he was being stared at his eyes focused themselves on Sea King's own, before he then opened his mouth to speak. And what came from that human's mouth was more frightening than anything Sea King had experienced in his entire life.
"It appears you've awoken, that's good." The Human spoke as he used one of his hands to keep his glasses pushed up on his face "To be honest I was beginning to think you'd be asleep for all of this, which was very disappointing." He admitted as leaned ever so slightly closer, his grin becoming a slight big bigger as well "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are and what you have done, you think that just because you're some abomination of nature that you can do as you please to MY creations?" He questioned as he moved even closer as to whisper into his ear "Well don't you worry, I plan to show you EXACTLY what I think of you and what you've done, trust me when I say that before I've even made a fourth of the progress on you that I plan to do, you will be begging me to kill you." He told him before he moved himself back into an upright position "Now then, shall we continue?" He asked as he pushed his glasses up once more.
For the next several hours Sea King though seemingly lifeless and void of any reaction to what was being done to him was screaming in anguish within, and while at first he spouted curses and threats to which the human could not hear, it soon devolved into nothing but cries and even slight whimpers for mercy. But after so much time had passed by the human had finally set his tools down and seemed to be resting, his clothes, hands, and even face covered in a combination of blood and sweat, yet even so he still had that ghastly grin present. At first it seemed as though his torment had finally come to an end, and whatever the human had planned was either through or was simply done for the time being, but as he rose from his seat and walked behind the table which Sea King laid upon, it quickly became apparent that it was only just beginning. For instead of cleaning himself off or even taking leave of whatever room they were in, the human placed his hands on the table and began to push it with ease out of the room and into a hallway, which was lit barely by somewhat dim lights that were spaced a good deal of distance from each other.
After a few minutes passed by of just walking they reached a new room that wasn't like anything Sea King had seen before, it was much smaller than a normal room and it seemed to have some kind of panel with buttons on it which controlled it. Watching as the human pressed one button at the very bottom of the panel it would only take a few seconds before the room stopped moving and the two doors which kept them inside opened, allowing them to exit. Being pushed out of that room they were now moving into yet another room, though this one was vastly different than the other in terms of size.
"This is where you'll be staying from now on." The Human told him as they came to a stop in the center of the room "From here you will be subjected to the worst I have to offer, whether it be newfound chemical agents or perhaps something more mechanical, your life from this point onward is nothing more than a playground for my most inhumane experiments." He explained as he looked down at him, his grin now being replaced by a small proud smile "And don't worry, after enough time has passed by I'm sure whatever bit of you remains in there will be erased from all of the pain you'll endure." He said before taking his leave.
Hearing his footsteps disappear behind a massive door which closed not too long after, Sea King was left alone on that table in complete silence, only being interrupted whenever the human returned. The first few times he came back were just to mutilate him further, sometimes the human would show him his own entrails or body parts as he did whatever he pleased to his form, the rest he'd simply do something to his body, take a step back, and watch what kind of effect it would have on his flesh. But then one day, after he had been gone for what Sea King guessed was days or even a week, he returned but not alone. This new person wasn't like anything Sea King had seen before, there was no sign of any flesh only metal, and every time the human spoke to it it seemed like he wasn't speaking to it directly but someone else.
As to why the human had brought company with him this time would show only to be ever more horrid than what he had endured thus far, for the two of them began to twist and contort his body in ways he'd never believe possible, adding and removing things that they saw necessary which brought him more pain. But in addition to this newfound reconstruction of his body they began burning and stabbing things into him, and after a while he began to move and act but none of which was of his own doing. Whatever they had done to him had taken away any control he might've had over himself previously, now he was nothing more than a puppet moving and doing anything they wanted him to. Of course he tried to fight against this control, he struggled within trying to break free and lash out against his tormentors, but with each attempt he was met with the worst pain he had felt thus far, a pain so great and so powerful that what remained of his mind slowly began to crumble away.
The memories of who he once was, where he once ruled, how he came to be in this situation, after so much pain his thoughts and emotions had been reduced to basic rage and screams, no longer any signs of sentience or life. Yet with his identity and who he was once now lost and he being rendered to nothing but a husk doing as his masters commanded, there was still one desire present in his form which regardless of how much of him was lost he would pursue to the end of his days. To be free of this pain that accompanied his life, to be free regardless if it meant dying or not of this unbearable agony that had consumed his very soul. And after having being disabled by his masters not too long ago, he found himself being awoken once more to a burning sensation coursing throughout his body, and a direction to which he could go to make it end.
This is how he came to rise from his slumber and move with heavy steps to City J, where he would tear the whole city apart to it's smallest pieces if it meant making this burning stop.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!" The Creature roared as it smashed it's fists into a building, only to grab pieces of the rubble and toss them at other nearby structures.
For nearly forty five minutes the monster had rampaged through City J, yet despite this it seemed as though there was no method to it's madness. Now some would say that would make sense given it was just a mindless horror, but unlike any monster anyone had ever seen before it had no clear path of destruction and all of it's actions seemed random, almost as if it weren't even thinking. But the truth is the creature was thinking, as much as it was able to anyways, for while everyone who watched on simply saw this hulking abomination tearing apart the city, it was a much different story from it's perspective. Everywhere it looked all it saw was a raging inferno of vibrant red and orange flames, for as time continued to pass the pain within it's being only worsened causing it greater agony.
"Make...stop..." It thought though struggling even then to form words in it's mind as it continued to destroy everything around itself.
Unknown to the creature however, while it seemed as though every citizen of the city was long gone and every non S class hero on sight had also taken their leave, not too far away on top of a roof was the C class hero Mumen Rider, who observed it through a pair of binoculars.
"There's no way I could even get close to it..." He said beneath his breath as he watched on "I want to try and help but I'd be dead in an instant if I approached it."
"Then why are you even here to begin with?" A voice suddenly asked from behind him.
Turning around quickly as he hadn't expected someone to sneak up behind him, Mumen Rider was shocked even further when he saw what was standing before him. Standing at an incredibly intimidating height, which he roughly guessed was somewhere around twenty feet, was as best as he could describe a dark blue octopus with perfectly white eyes and an unknown amount of appendages.
"Stop." It spoke as it raised one of it's tentacles to keep him from speaking "Before you freak out I'm here to help, not to cause trouble." It told him as it lowered the tentacle back down to the ground.
"What are you?" Mumen Rider asked.
"I'm an octopus." It answered as it hovered to his side "As for how I'm a talking octopus we can address that later, right now we need to be focusing on the thing that is currently destroying the city." It told him as it held out one of it's tentacles "Can I see those for a moment?" It asked.
"Oh, uh sure." Mumen Rider replied as he as handed his binoculars over.
Taking them from his hand and raising them to it's eyes, what the octopus saw when it looked directly at the creature caused it for a brief moment to freeze. Starting with the obvious it's form was grotesque and horrid, from it's feet to it's head it had metal joints and mechanical parts protruding from the flesh, though they seemed to be added in a careful and mindful way, it didn't make them any less sickening to look at. Then there were the finer details of it's being such as the nature of it's skin, it seemed to be covered in scales as if it were a reptile or fish of some kind, as for the color it looked as though it might've been green at some point but it was now discolored with blotches of yellow and red as to show exactly where infections or inflamed parts of it's body were present. Furthermore it stood well beyond the height of most buildings nearly being three stories tall in total, and it's arms and legs seemed to be extended in length as well due to the application of mechanical additions such as metal claws and nails that stuck out from it's toes and fingers.
But the most eye catching detail of this monstrosity was it's head, though it's eyes and certain parts of the skull supported the notion that at one point it was a fish or reptile, it was when you looked to where it's jaw would be that you would find a completely metal set of fangs which resembled a bear trap gruesomely fused to it's flesh, only opening when the creature roared or screamed.
"It's even more disgusting when you get a good look at it." The Octopus commented as it handed the binoculars back to Mumen Rider, a matching look of disgust present on it's face.
"Yeah it's pretty disturbing." He agreed as he looked towards the other "So what's the plan?" He asked.
"The plan is that I'm going to go and deal with this thing before it can destroy anything else." The Octopus answered before it looked to him while pointing a tentacle at his feet "You are going to stay right here and away from the fight." It told him as it looked back to the creature.
Watching in amazement as the octopus's body was suddenly covered in a bright white light, it then somehow managed to lift itself into the air before it then flew away from the rooftop towards the creature.
"...I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WORKED!" The Octopus thought in disbelief with widened eyes as it flew through the air.
A Few Moments Prior...
"Alright, so what am I going to do?" Geryuganshoop asked aloud to himself as he flew towards City J.
Even though he wasn't having doubts of going to stop this monster from tearing apart the city, Geryuganshoop was uncertain as to how he was going to explain to anyone who should encounter him what he was and why he was there.
"I can't say that I'm a hero because I'm not registered with the association." He said as he held out a tendril to keep track of his thoughts "And I can't say I'm an alien because then they'll just assume I was on the ship, which I was but despite not having proof they'd just assume it and I'd be in trouble anyways." He reasoned as he held out another tendril "...You know...maybe they would believe that I actually am an octopus." He suggested as he looked down at himself briefly, only to then shake his head dismissively "Nah, there's no way anyone would buy that." He decided as he soon reached the city.
Flying to the tallest building he could immediately see Geryuganshoop stopped at the very top as to see where the creature was exactly, which of course didn't take but a few seconds.
"There it is." He said as he could clear as day see the monster rampaging about through the city "Luckily there doesn't seem to be anyone around, I might be able to do this without getting noticed." He hoped as he prepared to take to off.
But just as he was about to fly off of the roof and towards the creature, he noticed that up the street from where it was rampaging there was a human wearing some kind of armor watching it through a pair of binoculars on the roof of a building.
"Oh great." He said with a sigh as he turned around and focused on the human "That guy must a hero or something, and if I go and fight the creature he's definitely going to see it."
Taking a moment to look between the human and the creature, even though he just wanted to hurry up and get this over with he knew that if he didn't confront the human first it would only mean trouble for him later.
"Well...here's hoping he thinks I'm an octopus..." He said with one final sigh before he flew from the roof towards the building.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG!" The Creature roared violently as it smashed the ground with it's fists.
Even with it's clear strength and unstoppable nature, Geryuganshoop was certain that it would take little no actual effort in order to bring the monster down, which is exactly why he landed on the ground a few feet behind it as to gain it's attention.
"Excuse me." He spoke hoping that would be enough, to which it wasn't "Alright, guess I'll have to use telepathy then." He decided as he closed his eyes to focus "Excuse m-"
The moment Geryuganshoop attempted to speak to it through it's mind he found himself wincing in pain, as the feedback he received was unlike anything he had ever experienced.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" He thought as he put two tendrils on his head "It's like there's an explosion going on inside that things head!"
Unfortunately he wouldn't be able to think about it for too long, as the attempt alone to speak to it through it's mind had actually gained it's attention, causing it to turn around and look at him. But instead of simply standing there out of confusion or perhaps to try and converse with him, it chose to pick up a nearby car and try to smash it down on top of him. Or at least it would've, but the moment the car was but a few inches away from him Geryuganshoop simply stopped it with ease before tossing it to the side, which miraculously surprised the creature.
"No wonder you're so pissed off..." He mumbled beneath his breath as he returned to an upright position "I'd be angry too if that was what was going on inside of my head." He admitted.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!" The Creature roared in response as it tried once more to smash him, this time with it's bare fist.
"Oh please." He scoffed as without even lifting a single tendril he moved the fist away causing it to hit the street instead "You can throw all the punches you want you're not going to land any." He told it.
This however didn't seem to register with the creature, for once it pulled it's fist back it began to unleash a rapid series of punches, all of which missed him completely.
"I can see there's no reasoning with you." He said with a sigh as he raised one of his tendrils "Perhaps this will get you to calm down." He suggested as he flipped it upwards.
Without any warning the creature was suddenly sent flying into the air at such a speed it rivaled a high powered jet. Watching as it continued to soar higher and higher until it was but a tiny spec in the sky, Geryuganshoop then sent it flying back down to the ground where upon contact a massive explosion occurred. But thanks to his telekinesis he not only kept any rubble from flying in every direction, but he also managed to repair the damage the impact made, excluding the crater the creature now rested in of course. Walking over slowly to the edge of the crater and looking down into it, Geryuganshoop could sense it was still alive but couldn't see it yet due to the dust and smoke that still present.
"Are you ready to talk hm?" He questioned as it began to clear.
However, much to his surprise once the crater was clear he found that where the creature should've been instead there was another hole indicating it had burrowed out. But before he could try and use his powers to locate it, it shot up from the ground behind him ready to punch.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG!" It roared as it sent it's fist forward.
"Honestly, can you say anything else?" He asked as it's fist was stopped completely "Or is your entire vocabulary just sounds?" He added as he turned around to face it.
Watching as it struggled to move it did try to throw another punch with it's available fist, only to have it be stopped completely just as the other had. After that had been done he then using his powers forced the creature to it's knees followed by having it's fists be driven into the ground, rendering it in a kneeling position. Now with it completely at his mercy Geryuganshoop slowly approached it and placed a tendril on it's head as to try and read it's thoughts.
"Okay, let's give this another shot." He said to himself as he closed his eyes and made the connection.
Wincing immediately as that same horrid feeling from before hit him like a crashing wave, he did his best to focus on finding the creature's thoughts through this interference. Slowly but surely he began to block it out until all that was left was to explore it's mind for anything he could maybe see or communicate with, but as he searched the only thing he found was one sentence repeating endlessly.
"Please...kill me...I want to die...please...kill me...it hurts so much...please...make it stop...please...please..."
Remaining in it's mind for a few seconds more to see if there was anything else he could find, once he was certain that was all there was he pulled his tendril away and ended the connection.
"You're suffering." He said as he opened his eyes and looked at it's face "Whoever did this to you wanted you to beg for death."
Though it was still quite savage and it would lash out should he release it, Geryuganshoop could see amidst all of that unbridled rage and pain that it was feeling, it did seem to understand what he was saying.
"Don't worry." He said as he moved back about a foot or so "I'll make sure this is painless." He promised as his eyes began to glow.
Suddenly screaming out more violently than it had been so far, the creature did it's best to break free of his grasp as something seemed to be happening. But alas, before it could even make any worthwhile attempt at getting free, it's entire body was suddenly pulled apart in every direction causing blood, flesh, metal, and bone to fly out everywhere. Feeling a bit of pride at how he was able to free the monster from it's own suffering, just as Geryuganshoop turned around as to take his leave and head back to the resort. That is, until the countless bits and pieces of the creature suddenly all flew back to where it's body once was, and in a matter of seconds was completely reformed.
"Huh?" He sounded as he turned back around to see what the commotion was.
Unfortunately for the blue clad alien, before he could register what had happened the creature sent forth a fist in his direction, and with his guard having been down it not only landed but sent him flying down the street and through multiple buildings.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!" It roared violently in triumph as it bashed it's fists together.
Barely even able to move his head after that Geryuganshoop tried to look around him to see where he had landed, only to find that his vision was blurred beyond belief. Then as he tried to move he found his entire body was numb, almost as if the blow had damaged his nerves in some way.
"H-How is that possible?..." He thought as he tried to get himself together "T-The only person who could recover from an attack like that was B-Boros..."
Sadly for the extraterrestrial, before he could get even a small bit of feeling back to any of his tendrils the front of the building he had landed in was suddenly torn away by the creature, as it seemed it was not yet done with him. Reaching into the space and pulling him out from within, it grabbed onto his tendrils with one hand while the other his upper body, and then it proceeded to pull them apart.
"NO WAIT STOP!" He mentally cried out in panic, trying his best to use his powers or anything else to stop it.
However, because of the blow his head was injured meaning he couldn't use his esp, and so that meant there was nothing he could do as the creature slowly ripped one tendril after the other from his body, causing him to scream out in pain. But just as it seemed this would be his end, not by the hands or Boros or even a hero of this world but an unknown monster, the creature was sent flying through the very same building he had just been pulled from, while he was kept in the air by a familiar green aura.
"GERYUGANSHOOP!?" Tatsumaki's voice called out as she soon appeared beside him "What the hell are you doing?!" She questioned as she looked down at his beaten form.
"Tatsumaki..." Geryuganshoop tried to speak via telepathy, as the pain was far too much for him to speak.
Flying them both over to a nearby building she gently set him down on the rooftop before unleashing a torrent of insults.
"ARE YOU AN IDIOT!?" She asked as she stared down at him with hate filled eyes "WHY did you come here? Kaemon came and told us about the monster and we were on our way to deal with it, so why would you be so stupid as to come here by yourself?!" She questioned angrily.
"I-I just wanted to help..." He told her, only making her more enraged.
"Oh yeah great help you were! you nearly got yourself killed!" She replied before she was covered in her green aura "Now I have to make sure you don't die before I deal with that freak, GOD why were you so stupid?!" She asked as she got to work mending his wounds.
Though unable to heal him or really treat his wound effectively, she was able to at the very least stop the bleeding and close off some of the wounds.
"There, that should keep you alive until I'm done with this." She told him before she turned her back to him "Don't you even THINK about dying before I'm done, I'm still pissed at you!" She warned before she flew off of the roof.
Watching as she disappeared from view to no doubt go and deal with the monster, Geryuganshoop couldn't keep a small smile from appearing on his face.
"Good Talk..." He thought jokingly as he closed his eyes and began to rest.
Though she had already been annoyed and pissed of before hand since she had to leave the resort in order to deal with this, now that Geryuganshoop had been injured her anger level had gone from ten to beyond measurable, though she of course would never admit that.
"Alright freakzilla, let's get this over with." She said with her arms crossed over her chest, wanting nothing more than to splatter this thing across the pavement.
Waiting for the creature to emerge from the building she had flung it into, it would only be a few more seconds before she could see it's face as it climbed out.
"Ugh, you really are a disgusting freak aren't you?" She asked as she raised her hand "No matter, you'll die horribly either way." She said as she flicked her hand down.
Suddenly the creature was sent flying downward into the earth, and it would only stop moving once it had reached the planet's molten core. Crashing into the searing heat of the magma and feeling it's body rapidly burn away, it was then pulled back up through the ground to the surface, where it would find itself high in the sky.
"Again." She said to herself as she sent it flying back down into the earth towards the core.
This would go on for nearly five minutes as she continuously sent it back and forth back and forth from the core to the sky, but after doing this over and over again and seeing no clear sign that it was dying, she realized she would have to take a different approach.
"Fine, we'll do something else." She said with a bit of annoyance as she brought the creature to the ground and kept it pinned.
Lowering herself until she was just hovering above it, she began to slowly pull apart it's body starting with it's fingers and toes, then it's legs and arms, and finally it's torso and head.
"How does this feel hm?" She asked as she peeled away every bit of muscle and metal from it's body, as though she was peeling a fruit "Feel helpless yet?" She asked admittedly amused.
Continuing to do this until every bit of the creature was being kept separate by her esp, she then lifted all of the pieces into the air before sending them flying out in every direction.
"There." She spoke as she dusted her hands off, even though she hadn't actually touched it "That's the end of that." She said as she flew back up to where Geryuganshoop was resting.
Looking down at him once she got there she could see he had fallen asleep as she was dealing with the monster, and while it did make her happy that he wasn't dead, (though again she'd never admit that to anyone), she was still angry and annoyed that he allowed himself to get injured like this.
"Great." She spoke with a sigh as she lifted him from the rooftop "Now you're going to be laying on my couch even more, I hope you're happy with yourself." She said, even though he couldn't hear her.
With her alien friend in tow Tatsumaki took to the sky and flew away from City J, deciding to first stop by her apartment as to drop Geryuganshoop off before she went back to the resort. Meanwhile back within City J, Mumen Rider was still on the rooftop and had seen everything transpire through his binoculars.
"Whoa..." He said as he slowly lowered them from his eyes "I wonder if Saitama knows the octopus?" He wondered, as he knew Tatsumaki and him knew each other.
Over the course of the next few hours a good deal of things happened, first there was the media circus that was bound to ensue after everything had been said and done, then there was the association that promised everyone they would investigate as to where the creature came from and why it attacked City J, after that Tatsumaki would finally return to the resort and receive a good deal of praise from the other S class heroes for a job well done as well as the "show" she put on with how she disposed the creature, finally to wrap this crazy and insane day up she would go on to tell Saitama, Fubuki, and Kaemon what had happened with Geryuganshoop and how he was now resting back at her place.
Though the sudden attack of this monster was of course unexpected and surprising, it didn't result in any loss of life nor in damages that were too severe, and while it was too early to know if anyone had caught any glimpse of Geryuganshoop during that whole mess, they figured if someone had seen something they'd come to deal with it in time. And who knows, if anyone did see him fighting the creature it would make introducing him to the world as a hero all the more easy, they could even say that he was a sidekick to Tatsumaki or something similar which everyone would believe, mostly because no one would be willing to dispute Tatsumaki on the matter. For it's not like anyone who would question it even saw it, given that all of the reporters were outside of the city, so that was probably something they didn't even need to worry about.
"What're you thinking doctor?" Metal Knight asked, as both his robot and Doctor Genus were reviewing the footage from the attack.
Among the many things they had implanted within the creature's body they had added cameras to both of it's eyes, so that way they could see exactly how it performed against One Punch Man. And while it was unfortunate that he hadn't shown but instead Tornado, something far more interesting had happened during it's rampage,
"Honestly, I don't know." Doctor Genus admitted as he put his hands into his pockets "I've never seen a creature like it before, it's body is something that goes beyond anything I know in terms of biology." He explained.
"Could it be an alien from the ship?" Metal Knight suggested.
"Possibly, but how did it escape us? let alone survive the battle between One Punch Man and Boros?" Doctor Genus asked.
"That is something we'll have to look into surely." Metal Knight responded as his robot turned around "But right now we have a far greater issue at hand."
"Yes the specimen's remains." Doctor Genus replied as he too turned around "Your robots were able to find nearly every piece of it that Tornado had sent flying, all except for one." He noted.
"My drones are still looking for the head as we speak, but given that my predicted trajectories for the other pieces were spot on and we secured all of them, we might have to face the possibility that it was able to regenerate a new body." Metal Knight explained.
"Which wouldn't be impossible given we introduced some of Boros's genetics into it's own." Doctor Genus replied as he put a hand to his chin "But even if it did regenerate a new body, it wouldn't have any of the mechanical components that we added, it would be completely new." He noted.
"Do you think it will cause anymore trouble?" Metal Knight asked.
"I don't think so, the whole purpose for it's destruction was in response to the pain we were causing it, but without any of our additions it wouldn't feel that pain at all." Doctor Genus answered.
"So then that just leaves it to wander around then." Metal Knight reasoned.
"Yes, a newfound life with a brand new body and no knowledge of what it is, where it comes from, or what it used to be." Doctor Genus replied as a small smile came to his face "How ironic, the once great Sea King was reborn after all, but whatever is currently wandering around in the wilderness is no long Sea King, but something entirely new."
"I'll find it soon enough" Metal Knight assured as his robot began to walk away "I'll contact you when I do." He added.
"Very well, good night Metal Knight." Doctor Genus said as the other took his leave.
Looking back to his monitor with his hands now behind his back, Doctor Genus was left alone to his thoughts on this newly discovered creature, as well as the one that was currently roaming around somewhere.
Hasted footsteps ran through the brush of the woods as a creature panicked and afraid tried to make sense of what was happening, it didn't know where it was, what it was, why it was there, or what it was going to do, and so it just ran without direction or care in whatever direction it saw fit, hoping to find some answer to what was happening.
