It was like hell broken loose on the face of Camino Ward once again, but this time in the Musutafu area.
"All heroes to focus on capture and containment of Dragon-rated villian 'Parasite'. Prioritize the capture of villian above non-immediate civillian safety."
Sirens wailed and echoed across the grotesque 'infected' buildings and structures, of which was covered in living, crawling form of tissue, in places sprouting appendages and scales and everything in between, coating the city in a purplish-grey web-roots-tendril kind of surface. Smoke erupted in various places, floating up ominously in the facade of the orange light of the fading sun.
In fact, most of the city was already twisting with this infestation, the villian responsible for this mass destruction, Parasite, still at large. As for the heroes, combating to bring some of the infestation and bay and searching in desperation for the one who caused it.
And Saitama, he was near the battle, trapped with the crowd, where it was deemed too dangerous to evacuate where there were monsters of infestation spawning. In a scene where few heroes, wearing their emboldening gear, were battling what seemed to be one enemy. Parasite.
"DIE!"
An earth shattering blast scorched and scoured the infestated pavement before him was sent towards the purple abomination of a human, which deflected it, albeit not so easily, with an arm that mutated out to become a shield of metallic scales. The recoil sent both combatants back a few steps, with Parasite having the initiative already by sending a trail of crawling, evolving row of metallic spikes that pulsed with life out towards the Explosion hero.
The Number 2 S-Class hero, Napalm, was currently facing off against the grotesque villian, backed up by 2 other A-Class heroes, known as
Uravity and Mimic, who surrounded the area with floating debris and particles to prevent the escape of Parasite from their arena.
It was visible that even though Napalm has aerial superiority and positional advantage, he could not sustain against Parasite for much longer, as the villian continued to mutate and evolve to combat against his opponent. Unleashing explosions after explosions while dodging spines and tendrils that shot out was not a very fun job.
Unleashing another nitroglycerin filled chamber in his left gauntlet, Napalm readied his other arm to stabilise himself in the air. A rumble of a blast was heard, and all became a blazing inferno.
Napalm took this opportunity to attack, the thrust of his palms hurtling him downwards into the fray of smoke and fire. Seeing the villians purple carapace, he knew explosions were not going to be as effective for long. Parasite had the ability to mutate and evolve himself to suit his battle style.
"FUCKING DIE YOU BREAD MOULD!"
A torrent of fire rained down on Parasite at close range as the villian staggered backwards, lashing out with tendrils, of which Napalm barely dodged even with his reflexes, a small cut forming on his arm.
Performing a 180 degree verticle rotation, using the opening caused by his previous attack, Napalm charged up a large scale blast with both arms, and unleashed it as a parting shot to create space and to stall time further for Deku to arrive. This further singed the ground and forced his body back upwards into the air, hence maintaining his positioning.
"JUST WHEN IS THAT BASTARD DEKU GOING TO-"
A metallic rod jammed into his stomach from below, knocking the wind and gastric juices our of him. He really hoped Deku, S-Class number 1 hero, would come right now to beat the shit out of this Parasite guy. Essentially, Napalm got outpowered and outwitted by some cancer tumour, even if he did not want to admit to it.
An barely conscious Napalm dropped out of the air and onto the ground, where Uravity quickly picked him up and to the side, where Mimic quickly touched Napalm discreetly.
"Well, that was an annoying pest."
Menacingly, Parasite, in his now carapaced form, opened up parts of his metallic shell, exposing the infested tissue inside that grew outwards into tendrils, then coiled up together, forming several claws.
"Its feeding time."
Another shattering explosion erupted forth, with Mimic crying out in pain, blasting and covering the area in an orange burst of flame in hopes of creating space and time for them to retreat. And when the flash subsided, both heroes had retreated backwards, behind their "meteor shower arena" walls.
When the smoke cleared, a Parasite was seen holding onto a squirming girl, picked up by her neck, her limbs flailing wide, seeking salvation that was not present. His armoured mask parted to reveal a malicious grin and a dangerous twinkle in his eyes.
Saitama's eyes widened in horror. His mind raced wild as he looked into her emerald eyes that screamed with silent terror.
"You know, when I was a little boy, I wanted to become a hero. A hero that can send rotten villians flying with a single punch."
Time came to a standstill and everything else faded out to black as Saitama looked on.
"But turns out, I'm Quirkless. Most people would think that that's the end of the line for their hero career."
His breathing caught on a hitch as his heart exploded.
"But not me. I trained like hell every single day since a year ago. And I became this strong."
The sounds of the battle faded away as his hearing became numb.
"It doesn't matter if you have a weak Quirk or no Quirk at all. Because you have the power to change yourself and become stronger."
His limbs froze and trepidition as feelings of suffocation took over him.
The girl finally looked up towards him, her eyes shining in the warm orange light, brimming with hope, as if all her doubts were dispelled. As if, she had met her saviour.
A painful eternity later, her eyes met his.
"You can be a hero."
