Cancer Cell returned to the Ghost Town of Sector Z to heal and plan his next move. It was a bad idea to continue to pretend to be Garou and attack Heroes to get their blood since Bang and Zombieman had exposed him and most likely told the rest of the Hero Association about Cancer Cell's ability to shapeshift. For now Cancer Cell would just have to lay low and come up with another plan to acquire the blood of powerful beings. Cancer Cell regenerated his arm and rested.
The next day Cancer Cell was in his hero form patrolling a section in City G. It was a quiet day and there were no people out and about in the area Cancer Cell was currently walking. Cancer Cell was fixing to leave the area, when someone appeared a few yards ahead of him.
"Hello little hero. It's time for me to conduct evil." Said the newcomer as he took up a fighting stance.
Cancer Cell recognized the figure as none other then Garou the Hero Hunter. Garou leaped at Cancer Cell swinging his fist at him. Cancer Cell quickly brought his arms up and blocked the attacks, he then threw a punch of his own at the Hero Hunter, who deflected it and delivered a kick to Cancer Cell's chest sending him skidding back. Garou smirked at Cancer Cell.
"You seem a bit tough and skilled to be a mere B-Class Hero." Said Garou.
"Oh I'm just full of surprises. Also I'm not your enemy." Said Cancer Cell as he used his shapeshifting powers to make his face look like Garou's face.
"What the heck? So you're the creep whose been using my face to attack Heroes." Said Garou with an annoyed look on his face.
Cancer Cell changed to his true face and looked at Garou.
"I deeply apologize for using your face and identity to further my goals. I just needed to make the Heroes believe that someone else was behind the attacks to make them go on a wild goose chase, while I worked on gathering blood and increase my power. I'm called Cancer Cell."
"Cancer Cell huh? Alright Cancer Cell tell me exactly what your goals are." Said Garou.
"Well from the moment I came into being I had to fight for the right to live because of my mutation. I was hunted mercilessly by those who would have been my friends if it weren't for my defects. Now I want revenge on the world and to leave my mark on it." Said Cancer Cell.
"An interesting backstory. The world mistreated you and now you want revenge on it. I can sympathize with that." Said Garou.
"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your goal?" Said Cancer Cell.
"Well you're the first monster, whose asked, so I guess I'll tell you. I want to become the Ultimate Evil. The God Level Threat to this world that finally forces all the people of the world to unite as one." Said Garou looking up at the sky.
"So in a sense our goals are very alike." Said Cancer Cell.
"We're both against the world." Said Garou.
"Well I wish you success with your mission." Said Cancer Cell.
"Right back at you pal." Said Garou.
The two went their separate ways each determined to accomplish their mission.
