In the days that followed Cancer Cell attacked various C-Class, B-Class, and a few A-Class Heroes in his Garou disguise. Cancer Cell bested his targets and he absorbed their blood making himself even stronger. Eventually Cancer Cell grew board with hunting the lower class Heroes and decided to set his eyes on some of the S-Class Heroes. Cancer Cell became interested in the hero Zombieman and his unique healing abilities. He wondered if Zombieman's healing abilities could deal with cancer. It was time for a little test.

Cancer Cell managed to get information on the city Zombieman patrolled and after a bit of walking around, he located Zombieman walking around a park.

"Showtime." Thought Cancer Cell as he changed into his Garou disguise.

Cancer Cell popped up a few yards in front of Zombieman and shot several of his tendrils at him. The tendrils stabbed into Zombieman's head and chest and began to inject cancer all through out Zombieman's body. Zombieman let out a gasp as his body became frail and thin. Cancer Cell yanked his tendrils out of Zombieman and he collapsed to the ground. For several seconds nothing happened.

"Well that was disappointing." Thought Cancer Cell as he turned away from Cancer Cell and began to walk away.

"Not so fast imposter." Said a old man suddenly stepped out of the shadows and into Cancer Cell's path.

Cancer Cell's eyes went wide in alarm as he recognized the old man as the third ranked S-Class Hero, Bang.

"You!" Said Cancer Cell as he shot several of his tendrils at Bang.

Bang dodged the tendrils with incredible speed, before he reached Cancer Cell and delivered several powerful punches to Cancer Cell's face and chest that sent him flying back and crashing to the ground in a heap. Cancer Cell managed to scramble back up to his feet and glared at Bang, who just sternly stared back at him.

"Kindly remove that disguise you're wearing. I know for a fact you aren't really Garou." Said Bang.

Cancer Cell transformed into his true form and took up a fighting stance.

"How did you figure me out so quickly?" Asked Cancer Cell.

"I talked to some of the Heroes you attacked, a few of them are martial artists and they told me how you fought. I knew right away that they weren't attacked by the real Garou, so I asked Zombieman to help me setup a little trap and lure you out." Said Bang.

"Clever, but it looks like things didn't work out so well for Zombieman." Said Cancer Cell.

"I wouldn't be so sure if I was you." Said Bang.

Cancer Cell blinked his eyes in confusion and then he heard a faint footstep behind him. He quickly started to jump to the side as a axe swung down at him and his left arm ended up being sliced off! Cancer Cell cried out in both pain and shock as he saw Zombieman fully healed standing a few feet away from him holding an axe.

"You're a fast one." Muttered Zombieman.

"Damn you and your healing factor!" Growled Cancer Cell clutching his bleeding nub.

"Give yourself up monster. You're outnumbered and severely injured. There's no way for you to win." Said Bang.

Cancer Cell gritted his teeth in anger and fired several energy spheres at the ground around him causing a explosion and creating a great deal of smoke. He then quickly sprouted his wings and took flight fleeing the area and the two heroes behind. Cancer Cell may have lost this little battle, but he was far from beaten.

To be continued.
