Cancer Cell roamed the streets taking in the view of the city he was in. The city reminded him of the world of the human body, though there were differences. Cancer Cell was wondering how best to attack the world he was in now, when he heard a loud explosion in the distance followed by a bunch of people screaming. Feeling curious Cancer Cell ran in the direction of the explosion and came across a intersection with a few cars on fire. Cancer Cell's eyes landed on what appeared to be a twenty tall scorpion rampaging in the street ripping cars apart with it's claws and tail. The scorpion wasn't alone. It was accompanied be a eight foot giant wasp and a creature that stood twelve feet tall and looked like it was half man and half stingray. Cancer Cell studied the three creatures and wondered exactly what they were.

"It's a bunch of monsters!" Cried a nearby women in fear.

"Monsters huh? They must be this world's equivalent of germs and bacteria." Thought Cancer Cell as he wondered if he found some potential allies.

The stingray man began to address the crowd of frightened onlookers.

"I am Death Sting and these are my friends Buzzing Hornet and Piercer. We are the Stinging Syndicate and you will bow before us or face an agonizing death!"

The people stood frozen in fear at these words. Cancer Cell was impressed and he thought about revealing his true self and joining up with the monsters, when he heard a bunch of sirens and a bunch of police cars arrived on the scene. Several police officers exited the cars armed with guns and rifles that they pointed at the monsters.

"These must be the equivalent of the White Blood Cells." Thought Cancer as he decided to stay in disguise and wait to see what happened.

The police opened fire on the monsters and Piercer got in front of his two companions and defended them with his armored body. The bullets struck the armor and harmlessly bounced off it. The police realized that their weapons had no affect and they stopped firing. Death Sting let out a laugh as Buzzing Hornet flew out from behind Piercer and charged at the police officers. Before the monster could attack and sting the officers a man with spiky black hair and armed with a strange spear suddenly jumped out of the crowd and stabbed the monster right through the chest instantly killing it! The man quickly pulled his spear out of the dead monster before landing on the ground in a dramatic pose.

"It's the A-Class Hero, Stinger!" Cried a women.

"We're saved!" Cried a man.

"A-Class Hero?" Thought Cancer Cell in confusion.

"Just leave this to me officers." Said Stinger as he approached the two remaining monsters.

"You think you can take us?" Yelled Death Sting.

"Oh I know I can, besides you're giving stingers a bad name, so I can't let that slide." Said Stinger with a smirk.

Death Sting let out a angry yell and charged at Stinger and struck at him with his tail. Stinger leaped over the attack and with a twirl of his spear, he stabbed through Death Sting's back and killed him. Piercer let out a roar and swatted Stinger out of the air with one of his claws. Stinger crashed and rolled a few yards, before he stopped himself and got into a kneeling position. Piercer charged at Stinger, who charged back at him and at the last possible second, Stinger bent backwards and slid right under Piercer and sliced all the left sided legs off at the joints before exiting the other side. The monster collapsed on it's side roaring in pain as Stinger leaped high into the air and stabbed it in the head instantly killing it. The crowd went wild and Stinger took a bow.

"Clearly I need to study this world some more if I want to properly fight these heroes." Thought Cancer Cell as he left the area.

To be continued.
