Cancer Cell spent the next several hours talking to various people and getting information on both monsters and heroes. Whenever someone asked why Cancer Cell wanted to know things about monsters or heroes or why he didn't already know any of this information, he would simply say he was new to this part of the world and that would satisfy them. Cancer Cell then got a little bit of information that interested him. Apparently there was an area in a place called City Z that seemed to attract a ton of monsters. The area was referred as Ghost Town. Cancer Cell decided to go check it out. After getting some directions and a good deal of walking, Cancer Cell made his way to City Z and located the fenced and gated area of Ghost Town.
As Cancer Cell stood before the gate he thought about ditching his disguise and changing into his true form to explore the area, but decided not to. It would be best to keep up the illusion that he was just a normal human. Cancer Cell made his way into the area and began to explore it. He was a bit surprised by the complete lack of people in the area. It seemed humans didn't want to live in a area that monsters were attracted to. Cancer Cell made his way deeper into Ghost Town, when he sensed he was being followed. He turned around to see a large lizard creature standing a few yards away from him.
"Looks like I found some lunch!" Laughed the lizard.
Cancer Cell was thinking of showing his real form to the lizard, which might convince the monster that Cancer Cell was a monster as well, when a huge burst of powerful flames hit the lizard and incinerated it instantly. Cancer Cell blinked his eyes in confusion as a young blonde haired man with metal arms walked onto the scene.
"Enemy destroyed." Said the man.
"A hero is here?" Thought Cancer Cell.
"I am S Class Hero, Demon Cyborg Genos. Are you alright sir?" Said the man turning to Cancer Cell.
"Oh...I'm fine. Thank you for saving me." Said Cancer Cell.
"It's my job. Now I would advise you to leave this area, it's quit dangerous." Said Genos.
"I will." Said Cancer Cell.
Genos nodded his head, turned, and walked away. After Genos was out of sight Cancer Cell decided to search a different area of Ghost Town. There didn't seem to be much monster activity on top, but perhaps there was some underneath. Cancer Cell located a manhole, moved the covering off, and leaped down it to explore the underground.
To be continued.
