Chapter 6
Sitch was asked to meet with him. Metal Knight has a proposal to make and wished to do so in private. Curious, he arranged the meeting and listened to what Metal Knight had in mind. "I wish to take the children of Garou." He said.
This was surprising. "Wait, you wish to take them? You want to raise the three?"
"Indeed, I believe I have the facilities that can help these achieve great power and strength, worthy of their mother and father. We know how Garou grew in power, facing opponents stronger than himself forced him to develop stronger. I believe the triplets have this same talent, they have only scratch the surface of it."
Sitch appeared leery. "I don't think this is a good idea. You KILLED their parents, what makes you think they would want to go with you to train? Besides, they are doing well here. Pac and Hunter have been training one another. Silverfang has also been training the boys here. Alley is a very capable inventor. I think it's best we let them decide what they wish to do." Sitch paused for a moment. "How do you know the triplets possess the same ability as their father?"
Metal Knight was silent for a moment. "I have been observing them here, and noticed their increase in strength." His words pacified Sitch for now, but he wanted to get to agree with his proposal. "Sitch, you need to understand, these children are still growing in strength and power. I have heard that Pac nearly put a hole through the wall of the gym after hitting a punching bag. What if he struck a person?"
"He was cautious!" Sitch protested. "He inspected the area before striking it to ensure no one was there. Accidents happen, that was an accident."
"You really are willing to risk the safety of those in the building with the triplets. I should have known better. You are aware, according to my scanners, they are all registering as level dragon. Mere children are dragon level threats!"
"I appreciate your concern, but again, the three are doing well here, they are going to be going home soon. For now, they make their own decisions on the matter. If you convince them otherwise that is fine. For now, they remain under the association's protection."
Sitch left shortly after, yet Metal Knight's sensors picked up an energy signature. She hovered just outside the door. Tatsumaki. Her arms crossed as an angry look came over her face. "You just had to do it," she said. "You do realize, I have wanted to be the one to end Garou! Why did you get to do it!"
"Tatsumaki, I explained before, it was an accident. I had no intention…"
"Intention or not. It's not fair!"
Alley walked right in between them, once more with gum in her mouth that she quickly stuck on Metal Knight. "EXCUSE ME!" protested Tatsumaki.
"You're excused." Muttered Alley as she continued on.
"Apparently, they got their manners from their father too! HMF!"
Metal Knight turned to Tatsumaki. "I wonder thought of these children will replace their parents in the M Class Dragons. They will become your equal if that is allow."
"WHAT! NO!"
"Indeed, but they are not ready yet. If only there were someone strong enough to test them, push them to their limit as it were. I have come to understand that you could have beaten Garou in five seconds at full strength. His children are remarkably strong, nearly as strong as he was as an awakened monster when he sought such power…"
Tatsumaki grinned. "Just as strong you say? Perhaps I will test it myself. After all, I have always wanted to see if what I bragged about was right. Who am I kidding, I know I'm right!"
"If you do challenge them, inform me. I wish to see for myself."
Tatsumaki flew off with a grin on her face. Metal Knight returned the robot to his base, he will wait and see if she takes the bait.
