Hello everyone! I am BTR100 and this is the third chapter of my fanfic, ONE PUNCH MAN: MORE THAN S-CLASS
Weekly update. =D
Sorry if it's late. School can really get you to the point that when you try to do your hobbies - like writing or drawing - they also come off as another piece of your workload. I tried, but when I tried writing this last week, it only served to be an addition in my to-do list.
I'm sorry...
Peace! - BTR100
ONE PUNCH MAN
MORE THAN S-CLASS
CHAPTER THREE
The Cyborg's Master
''What could be the cause of the massive mosquito outbreak this year?''
It was a gloomy morning for the bald and caped crusader as he woke up and did his morning routine in his standalone apartment located in a part of City Z that was basically abandoned and deserted. Only one apartment was fully functional there, and apparently it was the one where Saitama is living. However, the owner still collects the rent through the mail. As the bald man went on to do his regular business wearing a yellow polo shirt and khaki shorts.
As the man went on to his kitchen to fill up his green, elephant-modeled water sprinkler to water his plant cactus, the television screen was blaring with the morning news and currently on the program were the two hosts conversing with their guest speaker as they went on with the topic about the recent massive mosquito breaks that have been happening all over numerous cities - including City Z.
''We ask Mr. Kafetch, a mosquito expert who has written several books about the subject.''
The bald man then turned off the faucet as soon as the green, elephant water sprinkler was filled, before momentarily looking at his kitchen counter which was filled with plates, pots and pans that he forgot to wash ever since yesterday.
However, the baldy ignored it as he went out of his kitchen and towards the balcony so he can water his plant cactus, the pot of the desert plant surrounded with white pebbles just lying on the balcony's floor.
''Ah yes, well thank you for having me here. Let me get straight to the point where I tell you that these mosquitoes belong to an entirely different species. Therefore, I know nothing about them.'' Mr. Kafetch said in reply.
However, said reply was not taken too lightly by the news anchors.
''What the- get out!''
For a moment, the sound of a door being banged was heard in the television as the news anchor cleared his throat with the camera focused on him.
''Ah excuse me. Now let's take a look at the areas most likely to be affected the most by the mosquito outbreak.''
A map of Z-City was then projected on-screen, showing the mosquitoes' predicted path of attack going towards the center of City Z, the said path showing that they allegedly already went through City B. Saitama, holding his water sprinkler, then momentarily stopped as he looked at the television screen.
The self-proclaimed bald hero did not take the projection of the mosquitoes' flight path too lightly.
''Man, City Z's in their path.''
Saitama then made his way to the balcony, as he walked towards his cactus plant; the pot of said plant just settled down on the floor. The bald man knelt down as he proceeded to sprinkle the plant with fresh tap water. Simultaneously while doing so, he was listening to the news program, with the news anchor's voice enveloped with fear and urgency as he announced his breaking news report.
''We interrupt this program for breaking news. A large swarm of mosquitoes have been sighted in City Z. Mummified remains of attacked farm animals have also been found. If you happen to encounter a swarm of mosquitoes, flee immediately.'' the news anchor announced.
The program then showed on the footage capturing farm animals being left mummified by the mosquito swarms. They then zoomed in on the cow's petrified face, its eye sockets empty, fur completely vanished and its very skin and muscle peeling off its frail bones and skull. Traces of blood was not even close to being evident in the deceased farm animal.
Its body was completely drained dry and left to rot.
Meanwhile, Saitama's plant cactus was currently enjoying the rain from the man's water sprinkler. However, as he was doing so, a lone mosquito suddenly buzzed in, flying all around the man's face before making its way and landing on Saitama's right hand, which was holding on to the green elephant water sprinkler.
The bald man then used his free hand, using it as he smacked his right hand, the impact causing a swift gust of air flying from his palm. The bald man almost came to the conclusion that the mosquito had been effectively killed, however it wasn't too long before the mosquito flew out of his palm. The bald man then tried again thrice, attempting to catch the mosquito in mid-air using his left palm and slamming it once more when it landed right beside his left eye.
However, the mosquito would completely make its way out every single time.
The bald man then set down his water sprinkler, now empty as he had finished watering his plant while attempting to kill a singular mosquito.
He then stood up, having completed with watering his plant, glaring at the lone mosquito with all intentions to kill.
The man had been triggered, the mosquito's buzzing sound being replayed over and over in his head.
And so, the man dashed and jumped within the limits of his apartment's balcony as he attempted to catch and kill the singular mosquito, a quick gust of air forming every time both palms of Saitama made contact with each other. The bald hero was ridiculously fast, and to the naked eye, it seemed that Saitama was teleporting all over his own balcony, appearing in mid-air and everywhere within the balcony in a matter faster than seconds.
Each clap from the man made a banging sound that echoed throughout the entire block.
However, as Saitama attempted to catch his mosquito, the atmosphere for the rest of City Z was filled with nothing but an alarm blaring throughout the streets. In a middle of a gloomy day, a swarm of mosquitoes had made its way inside the city, flying around and looking for their next meal to prey upon.
The Heroes' Association alarm blared throughout the city, and on a loop, the female computer voice told and announced the entire city about the incoming mosquito swarm.
''This is an emergency evacuation warning. Threat Level: Demon. No resident is to go outside their homes under any circumstances.''
And indeed it was true.
The entirety of City Z was completely deserted. No one dared to take even a single step outside and much less open their windows to see what was going on. It was threat level Demon. A threat that can endanger an entire city or its infrastructure. Of course no one would dare take a look outside.
Except for one.
Standing right next to a corpse of a vulture, whose feathers and muscles were skinned off to the point that only bones remained, was a blond man who appeared to be in his teenage years. He was wearing a sleeveless white top that showed off his mechanical arms joined with sky blue denim pants. He had brown eyebrows, pierced ears, and his eyes have black sclera with yellow irises.
It was no doubt that the teenage man was a cyborg.
The blond cyborg observed that rampaging mosquito swarm within his distance where the swarm never noticed him. The large pack of insects were swiftly roaming around, hurriedly finding their next meal, their next prey.
What triggered the cyborg's curiosity however, is the fact that the mosquitoes always remained together as a large swarm as they finished off their prey.
While the robot man did not have an encounter or any complications with mosquitoes throughout his life, he did know one thing about the bugs:
They usually fly on their own. Just one mosquito bite can already confine an average human to a week inside a hospital with modernized technology.
And that was just with one mosquito.
But what would happen when someone was attacked with an entire swarm?
The cyborg wasn't sticking around to find the answer to that question. He was going to make sure that the swarm of deadly mosquitoes were limited to devastating farm or wild animals and that said swarm would not get anywhere near a single human capable of breathing. He just hoped that everyone obeyed the warning that is still currently booming throughout the entire metropolis.
Keeping his eyes locked onto the target, he watched as the swarm of mosquitoes danced about in mid-air. He almost found it pretty.
But it wasn't.
Recalibrating his targeting system, he locked his eyes onto the swarm and followed his sight within the swarm's advanced until the cyborg managed to get a full lock-on at the target - which was no doubt the mosquito swarm.
As soon as he confirmed his enemy, the cyborg said its first words for the day.
''Target Acquired.''
He then proceeded to go after the swarm, jumping off the overlook of the building he was standing on.
...
...
...
...
...
The alarm blared on and on throughout the metropolis known as City Z. The entire city was practically deserted. No one dared went outside, fearing for their lives as it was a Demon-Level threat. It can bring havoc throughout the entirety of the city.
However, there was one soul that was either brave or crazy that dared roamed around the town.
And no, it wasn't the cyborg.
It was a blond man wearing a blue bonnet hat, a plain black t-shirt and white denim pants. He also wore white construction gloves and on his left hand he held a simple crowbar that he laid onto his left shoulder. Despite the impeding threat, he still released a cocky laugh and an arrogant smile as he walked out of the recent establishment he just broke through. It was a pawnshop and he recently just scored large amounts of jewelry.
He made his way next to his bag of loot, which was filled with various objects of high value. There were even gold ingots inside.
The blonde was a looter, make no mistake. And he was currently experiencing his happiest day.
''Thanks to that warning, they're all empty! Hmph, like someone's gonna die from a mosquito bite.'' the man arrogantly said to no one in particular, as he threw his scores of gems and jewelry unto the bag of high-valued loot.
''What's wrong with losing a little blood if I get all this?'' the man was already smiling at his treasure.
However, that smile would disappear as the mosquito swarm swiftly rammed past him, the momentum of their flight so strong that the man's bonnet was sent flying straight into the air. The man, now standing with his messy blond hair revealed, could only look at the dark and gloomy sky behind him as the swarm had already disappeared.
The blonde was left utterly confused.
''Was that the wind? Damn, didn't know that a storm was coming.'' he said.
However, the man was wrong.
The mosquito swarm that went past him had already swiftly appeared behind the man, and before the man could even blink, the mosquitoes had charged, rampaging unto the man and surrounding him from foot up until his head. Some had went through the gaps of his clothing so that every surface of the man's skin was occupied by every single mosquito. The man had squirmed as he attempted to put up resistance, but he inevitably failed; he was now enveloped with mosquitoes.
The man could only scream in pain and agony as the mosquitoes that landed on his skin proceeded to suck him dry off his blood. With the magnitude of the mosquitoes enveloping the man, only seconds was needed before the man was drained to the point that his eye sockets were now hollow. Finally letting go of his crowbar, the man was now showing no signs of resistance or even any evidence of life.
After what felt like eternity, the mosquitoes finally detached themselves from the man and the swarm flew off to the sky, revealing the man that was now nothing but a corpse wearing its clothes. Its eye sockets now hollow, the man's corpse could do nothing but fall and drop to the ground, lifeless and immobile. Strands of his once brightly colored blond hair - and is now dead and bland - flew into the air as the corpse landed on the pavement.
The mosquitoes had all gathered mid-air, forming what looks like a giant sphere and as they did, the sphere of mosquitoes slowly glowed red.
The sphere of bugs that was glowing red was actually hollow, and inside was what seemed like a larger mosquito with a feminine body. It moaned in pleasure as it bathed itself with the sensational taste of blood as its abdomen swelled and glowed red, taking in all of the blood her mosquitoes had sucked solely just for her..
It only took seconds before the swarm of mosquitoes dispersed from mid-air, revealing the large, feminine mosquito humanoid.
Being partly insect, the feminine mosquito's body is largely exoskeleton, and light enough to allow winged flight. All her limbs are extended and end in twin hooks, and her lower legs are digitigrade, with extra forelegs. Her biceps and shins and covered in long bristles, and striped akin to a hornet's. She also has a rather voluptuous figure. Beyond her long hair and distinctly human face, her head resembles a mosquito's, including a second pair of compound eyes, two sets of antennae, and a shortened proboscis. Despite having a lower humanoid body, she still carries a banded abdomen from the smallness of her back.
As the mosquito girl's body was revealed to the abandoned metropolis of City Z, she seemed frustrated for some reason.
''Come on you guys. That clearly wasn't enough.'' the mosquito feline said, apparently talking to the rest of the mosquito swarm.
''Go get some more for me!'' the feline commanded after her previous statement.
However, as if she just sensed something, the feline gasped as she heard movement from the streets. The swarm of mosquitoes, as if on instinct, swiftly retreated from the feline bug, who had telekinetically ordered them to retreat to a safe distance for the meantime.
A deep masculine voice then followed.
''Target acquired.''
It was another blonde, and this time it was the cyborg, who had raised his right arm as he fired a blast of flames from the ports of his palm.
The flames swiftly approached the mosquito feline from her behind, but the feline swiftly turned around and evaded it with no effort. The two beings then faced each other in the abandoned metropolis of gloomy City Z.
After what seemed like hours, the cyborg was the first one to speak to share his observations.
''I see. You make the mosquitoes suck the blood, after which you take them all for yourself. You must be controlling them via some sort of signal...which would explain their mysterious and strange behavior.''
At this point, the mosquito swarm had already reappeared behind the mosquito feline, but the cyborg took no notice and continued his ramble.
''So if I were to take care of you, the leader, would that make the swarm disperse too?'' the cyborg asked.
The feline could only chuckle as her response to the cybernetic man.
Addressed to the mosquito swarm behind her, the feline then issued a command.
''Our next meal is here. Go drain him dry!''
The mosquito swarm then swiftly charged towards the cyborg, and before the man could even blink, the swarm of bugs had already surrounded him and preparing to go in for the kill. However, maintaining his calm demeanor, the cyborg shook his head, seemingly out of disappointment and maybe just a tinge of arrogance.
''Incinerate.'' the cyborg muttered.
The blonde then raised his right arm, and from the port of his palm, he released a powerful blast of fire and flames that incinerated every single one of the mosquitoes that surrounded him and even set some nearby buildings and establishments aflame. The mosquito feline could only gasp and look at the cyborg in surprise on how the entire swarm was incinerated in mere seconds.
Raising his right arm still, the cyborg prepared to fire another blast, flames already forming at the palm's ports.
''I am about to eliminate you. Stay where you are.''
In response to the cyborg's statement, the feline could only chuckle.
''You? Eliminate me? Hmph. I'd like to see you try!'' the mosquito feline roared.
And seconds after, the city was enlightened by a fireworks display of streams of fire and burning mosquitoes.
...
...
...
...
...
''Got you.''
Hours had seemed to pass, but Saitama was now confident than ever that he had caught the errant mosquito. He had chased the lone insect for a while now that veins were now apparent on his face.
This did not last however, as the mosquito once again flew away from the minuscule gaps of both his palms. The baldy could only watch as it flew away from the balcony of his apartment.
And with this, the bald man was triggered.
''Damn...mosquitoes!''
...
...
...
...
...
After a short fireworks display which caused the death to millions of mosquitoes, the cyborg had decided to initiate their fight as he swiftly ran up to a nearby building before jumping off of it, using it as a leverage as he found himself flying towards the mosquito feline. As swiftly as he can, he managed to land a quick blow to the feline's face with his left fist, but the feline swiftly recovered and reappeared right behind the cyborg as he reeling in from his own punch. The feline slammed her right claw onto the cyborg's hips, causing him to rapidly spin around mid-air, before the feline decided to take advantage by swiftly attacking once more.
However, the cyborg managed to block the feline's claw just in time in mid-air.
As the two beings interlocked arms in mid-air, the mosquito feline laughed as she began to slowly draw the cyborg near her, but the cyborg managed to get himself free using by activating the port located on his right elbow, which released a blast of hot air that managed to set him free from the feline's clutches. The cyborg landed on the side of an apartment nearest to their battleground, but he immediately boosted himself mid-air once again towards the feline.
The cyborg attempted another punch, but this time the feline had blocked it with her left arm that was much longer, before slamming the robotic teenager down the streets with her opposite arm.
Luckily, the cyborg regained its balance mid-air as it landed on the street pavement with no harm.
Deciding to remain at the offensive, the cyborg raised its right arm, smoke and flames swiftly forming at the ports of his palm which was aimed towards the mosquito feline.
''Incinerate.'' the cyborg muttered.
The cybernetic teen then fired a concentrated beam of flames that swiftly flew towards the insect feline, but she quickly evaded it however. To the cyborg's chagrin, the mosquito feline decided to switch from her defensive position and towards an offensive approach, before charging as swiftly as she can towards the cyborg.
The blonde kept his demeanor however, as he fired numerous fire blasts towards the large mosquito simultaneously. However, the large insect managed to dodge every single one of the blasts, before proceeding to ram herself onto the cyborg.
The blond cyborg braced for impact as he felt something ram onto his shoulder. To the naked eye, it looked like that the mosquito girl merely flew past the cyborg in a very swift manner, with the cyborg's right arm seemingly dissipating in mid-air. He then looked at his right shoulder to see that his arm had disappeared, his shoulder blades now ending in a series of wires and twisted metal, sparks of electricity flying from all over.
However, said cyborg did not even feel an ounce of pain.
He then looked at the sky behind him to see that the mosquito feline was flying away, the feline's proboscis sticking through the cyborg's right arm as she flew with it mid-air, her laughs now filled with newly found confidence and arrogance.
''Maybe a leg next?'' the feline smirked, but it would soon disappear after she felt something tugging her from behind and she jerked momentarily, causing the cyborg's right arm to fall off from the mosquito's shortened proboscis.
When she gained her balance, she looked behind, to see that both her legs had disappeared in an ironic twist of fate.
''Huh? Where are my legs?'' the large mosquito humanoid asked to no one in particular.
She then looked to see that the cyborg - who was still in commission with only one arm remaining - grabbing a hold of both her severed legs, before throwing it to the pavement behind him, golden yellow irises locking on to the slender feminine mosquito humanoid.
The feline mosquito locked her eyes towards the cyborg for a moment, before deciding to fly further away and retreating to a safer distance for attack. However, this did not go unnoticed by the blond cyborg.
''Impossible.'' the cyborg muttered to himself.
The blonde fired yet another concentrated blast of fire, but this time he had increased the intensity of the flames. But before the ball of fire can make its way to the target however, a large swarm of mosquitoes suddenly arrived and blocked the intensified flames for the feline, and the city skyline was once again met with a mid-air explosion of flames that caused the deaths of over a million mosquitoes.
This only served however to give the feline more time to rethink her strategy.
The battle was not going too well for her and the cyborg was slowly but steadily getting the upper hand.
''What the hell is that guy? He's gonna get me if I don't do something.'' she whispered to herself.
The feline then took a quick moment to look at the abandoned metropolis that was City Z. She can see every part of the city from where she was. Right next to the city proper was a large luscious forest and the terrain was covered with large, green hills.
Her lips were dry, and so she decided to run her tongue over it, smirking as she finally managed to make her next move.
''The townspeople may all be hiding...but there are plenty of animals around.''
Only she heard the sound of every mosquito flying from the forest and towards the city proper. Only she sensed the amount of blood each mosquito had inside their bodies.
Raising her long and slender arms, the feline shouted to the heavens.
''Come little ones! Empty all your stored juices into me!''
And so they did. A swarm of mosquitoes enveloped all around her, creating a sphere of the insects so large that it blocked a large part of the metropolis from its sunlight. It looked like as if it was night time on the part of the city the mosquitoes were on top of.
And the said sphere was only getting to grow larger and larger by the second.
The cyborg - who was now left with only one arm to fight with - ran in order to investigate the scene, and even he was surprised by the number of insects mid-air.
''So many. If she's been collecting blood from the entirety of this city and beyond, then it may not just be a simple food source for her.'' the cyborg thought, calculating his next method of attack given the current circumstance.
The cyborg then raised his remaining functional arm as he prepared another blast of concentrated heat.
''I should take care of this as soon as I can..'' the blonde muttered to no one in particular.
He was about to take aim towards the target, when the cyborg heard a masculine voice scream out to the heavens.
''GET BACK HERE DAMMIT!''
The cyborg then stopped its offensive advance, before looking back just to see a bald man in a yellow polo shirt, brown shorts and sandals chasing a lone, errant mosquito, with nothing more than a mosquito repellent. As the bald man chased after the lone mosquito, he kept his fingers pressing down on the repellent and attempting to spray down the mosquito to its certain death.
''Who's this idiot?'' was the only question running through the cyborg's mind right now.
However, before the bald man can even come close to spraying the mosquito down, it turned around and went inside the man's gaping mouth.
''It's in my mouth!'' the man exclaimed, before successfully managing to spit the mosquito out of his system. He then proceeded to wipe his mouth with his left arm, while keeping hold of the mosquito repellent.
''Nasty little - huh? What's that squirming over there?'' the man suddenly asked as he finally noticed the giant sphere of mosquitoes that went larger within the minute that just passed.
The cyborg could only watch in amusement. For a second, he had completely forgotten about his mosquito feline enemy.
''What the - are those mosquitoes!?'' the bald man exclaimed as the said swarm of insects still continued to compress themselves in a giant sphere.
The cyborg then decided to respond.
''You over there.'' the blonde said. This immediately caught Saitama's attention.
''It's best if you evacuate immediately. That swarm is conscious. If it senses you, it will immediately attack.'' the cyborg explained as quickly as he can.
The bald man could only stare at the cyborg in shock.
''Seriously? That's bad, I gotta -'' the man was already pointing towards his apartment, but his attention was diverted along with the cyborg's when they heard a deep voice of a female laugh from within the mosquito swarm. Both of them looked up to see the entirety of the mosquito swarm falling down upon them. It was like a dark smoke cloud, due to the density of the mosquitoes within the swarm.
Before both men could even blink, the swarm had fell down upon them and scattered throughout the center of the city.
The force of their impact was so strong, that windows were shattered and tall buildings were even toppled over.
However, from within the storm of the mosquitoes, the cyborg raised his remaining arm despite the ferocious force of the insects, and said cyborg released a fire blast that was set to maximum power. It first started off as a large electrical impulse that scattered throughout the entirety of the mosquito storm, before blowing up and exploding in flames. The massive burst of firepower not only incinerated and annihilated the mosquitoes, but brought severe damage to the center of the metropolis.
For a second, the central part of City Z was the very striking image that can be compared to the description of hell itself.
It only took 5 minutes, but when the smoke cleared, the city was a mess.
Everything was covered in soot. Buildings were severely damaged, the cement pavements burned and all signs of nature within the cyborg's vicinity turned to complete ashes. The once colorful city was now grey with soot, and the roads were severely damaged to the point that they looked like rivers of molten lava.
He retracted his arm, which was steaming from the intensified attack that he just performed.
''When you first spoke, I assumed that you would at least have human-level intelligence. It turns out that you were just a bug. You brought the mosquitoes together in one, easy-to-burn swarm. When I spotted you, I confirmed that there were no living beings within 500 meters, so I should have been free to fire away.'' the cyborg rambled.
However, it wasn't too long before the cyborg realized something else.
''Wait, that guy must've been - ''
''Woah man, you saved me. You're amazing.'' a voice said, addressed to the cyborg, who turned around to see the same bald man he just recently met.
The only difference is, the man had soot all over and he was naked.
What bothered the cyborg is not the apparent nudity, but the fact that the bald man was not even close to noticing it.
''What was that just now? You totally made them 'bug' out!''
Ba-dum-tsh.
The cyborg did not realize the man's joke, as he was surprised to even comprehend that the bald man had survived such an intensified version of his ''Incinerate'' attack. His mouth was agape, irises shaking in total shock.
However, the baldy took this as a sign that the cyborg failed to understand the joke. A stop sign then randomly fell in front of him, and in the cyborg's point of view, the said sign censored the bald man's manhood.
Not that the cyborg took notice anyway.
''Oh. Sorry. I was trying to make a joke about mosquitoes being bugs and...''
The naked man was then interrupted with a loud, female laugh. Both he and the cyborg looked up at the sky to see the mosquito feline, who underwent drastic changes. From a pattern of black and white, her entire skin was now a bright shade of blood-red, the banded stripes on her body become jagged and more pronounced, while her bristles and mosquito headpiece transform into sharp spines. She also sported long, fuchsia hair that flowed mid-air.
''Idiot! I no longer need the little ones! I mean...'' the mosquito feline arrogantly announced, before turning to her side and swiping her right claw mid-air.
The momentum of the attack was more than enough to eradicate the building she was targeting.
The cyborg was most surprised by this transformation, and even the bald man looked at the feline with shock and awe.
''Look at how strong I've become!''
Right after that statement, her eyes locked unto the cyborg's with every intent to kill, and with her drastic increase in speed, she swiftly charged at the cyborg before reappearing right behind the blonde and to the regular human eye, it seemed that the mosquito feline merely teleported right behind the cyborg.
Before the teenage cyborg can even process that events that just happened, let alone turn his head around to where the feline was, the female mosquito humanoid slammed her claws unto the side of the cyborg's stomach area, making a big gaping hole with sparks of electricity coming out of it.
Now desperate to end the fight for survival and losing all intentions to analyze his opponent, the cyborg turned around and attempted to land a punch using his remaining arm, but the feline merely slammed her right arm unto the cyborg's body, sending him flying straight into the air, mechanical parts and electronics falling from the sky.
As the cyborg found himself helpless in mid-air, the mosquito feline swiftly followed, now enveloped in a purple light of energy.
Taking advantage of the blond cyborg's helplessness in mid-air, the feline mercilessly pummeled the cyborg with swift and sharp attacks, each blow taking off parts of the robot and damaging him even further.
Chips, twisted metal, knots and screws flew into the air, and sparks of electricity surrounded the cyborg's mechanical body. The cyborg was being trashed around by the feline mosquito humanoid.
It was merely child's play.
It wasn't long before the cyborg had lost his right eye.
''Can't your punches kill a little mosquito?'' the feline mocked him, before landing another swift but deadly blow unto the cyborg, twisting him around in mid-air, as the blonde was helpless and could not even fight back anymore.
''Weakling!''
It wasn't too long before the cyborg realized his mistake.
''I see. The more blood she consumes, the more powerful she gets.''
As the cyborg continue to fall towards certain doom, the mosquito feline charged towards the falling cyborg, preparing to deliver the finishing blow.
''I think I'll have your head next!''
However, at this point, the cyborg had lost all hope.
He had lost.
He had goals. He had intentions.
But he had never imagined his life being taken by a female mosquito humanoid with a rather ravishing body.
And he had come to realize that he had failed.
''It's over. There is no chance of winning...I've let my guard down...''
As the mosquito woman came closer and closer to end the cyborg's life, the blonde's chest glowed blue, and due to the severe damages that he had taken, it was revealed that the core located where the human heart should be, was now shimmering in its blue light, and it glowed brighter and brighter as the mosquito drew closer and closer.
''The only thing I can do is self-destruct...''
Desperate to end the fight that clearly wasn't in his favor, the cyborg said his allegedly last words.
''Forgive me..Doctor...''
The mosquito woman laughed as she neared certain victory.
However, it was to be short-lived.
As her proboscis neared the cyborg's core, a hand slammed upon her face, and the single slap managed to blow the mosquito humanoid into a fireworks display of blood, which stained the building in front of the falling cyborg, who found out that his savior was none other than the naked bald man that he had first thought of as a nuisance.
Not only did the mosquito blew up into mincemeat, but also the building in front of the bald man was eradicated into dust and rubble, the once gloomy and dark clouds that covered the metropolis faded away to reveal the blue sky and the pavement below him suddenly cracked and created a deep fissure as if an earthquake of large magnitude suddenly occurred.
The cyborg was speechless.
With the weather anew and his enemy defeated, the bald man looked upon the blood scattered around the streets with a goofy smile on his face.
''Bugs...they suck.''
The blonde then just flopped onto the ruined streets, and he looked like scrapped metal. His joints were all twisted in the wrong way, wires were sticking out and sparks of electricity momentarily appeared from time to time.
The bald and naked man then proceeded to leave, not even noticing the severely damaged cyborg.
However, despite the severe damage, the cyborg can still communicate, raising his head from the pavement in search for the bald, naked man.
''Hold on!'' the cyborg pleaded.
As the man was on his way home, he heard the cyborg and stopped, before turning towards his direction.
''Huh?''
''Please tell me your name!'' the cyborg screamed.
It only took a few seconds. But the bald man eventually gave the cyborg what he was looking for.
''Oh. It's Saitama.''
''I'd like to be your disciple.''
Without even thinking about what the cyborg said, the bald man immediately replied.
''Oh sure.'' he said, before proceeding on his way, but he stopped after finally processing what the blonde meant and turning around to face him.
With the fire of confidence rekindled inside the cyborg, the blonde's eyes remained locked unto Saitama's, silently screaming and begging the bald man to help him.
''Uh...come back when you're all fixed up...I guess. 125B Road. Apartment 306. Room P211.'' was the naked powerhouse's only reply, before proceeding on his way.
And unbeknownst to Saitama...
The cyborg smiled.
...
...
...
...
...
A week has passed and the central part of City Z was finally fixed and people carried their business as usual as if nothing ever happened.
However, in a certain apartment that houses a certain baldy with a strength of a god, he would receive a very unexpected visitor that would give a little more spice to his normal Saturday morning.
The blond cyborg is now standing in front of Saitama's apartment room, now wearing a black sleeveless shirt. After knocking three times, he stood up straight and he shouted.
''Sensei!''
It wasn't too long, but the door opened and out came the bald god-like warrior already wearing his superhero costume, and by the looks of his face he was not looking forward for visitors today.
''So you actually came huh? Uh...'' Saitama attempted to address the cyborg, before realizing that he forgot to ask for his name on the first day that they met.
''It's Genos, Saitama-sensei!''
''Could you lay off all the sensei stuff?'' the bald warrior asked annoyed.
''Yes master!''
''Not master either!''
...
...
...
...
...
It wasn't too long but Saitama soon found himself inviting the young cyborg inside his simple apartment, and even served him tea on the dining table right in front of the television. The caped baldy honestly hoped that Genos would go home soon after.
''Just get to your tea and go home. I'm not looking for any disciples.'' he said in annoyance.
However, his current tone of voice would soon disappear when he noticed something about the young blonde.
''Wait, you're back in one piece?'' he suddenly asked.
''Yes. As long as parts are available, repairs and maintenance are always possible.'' the cyborg explained.
''You're a weird one, aren't you?'' quipped Saitama.
Genos merely ignored the statement, however.
''So tell me master, what kind of parts do you use?'' Genos asked out of mere curiosity.
''I don't use any.''
''Then what about the skin-colored armor on your head?''
''Yeah...that's just my skin dude.''
This surprised the cyborg, placing his right hand by his chin and he started muttering to no one in particular.
''That's odd. You're far too young to already be bald.''
With every intention or not, this statement effectively triggered the caped man in a yellow jumpsuit.
''SO I'M BALD, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM HUH!?''
However, he forgot he was talking to a cyborg. A human whose body was heavily modified.
They take instructions kind of literally.
Also questions.
''My problems? You're asking me to list each one of them?'' Genos asked in confirmation.
Saitama was now regretting even letting the cyborg blonde inside his room.
''No thanks...I'm good.'' he said in reply, but he knew it was too late. The cyborg had already started rambling about his past life.
''It all started 4 years ago... I was 15 years old and still a normal human being.'' the cyborg had already made a prelude about his history.
''Uhm...you did hear me say 'No thanks' did you?'' Saitama asked in vain.
However, the bald man was helpless and could not stop the life story from being told.
''Even in this harsh world, I had a pretty happy and peaceful life with my family until then. But one day, a crazy cyborg attacked our town all of a sudden. He had completely lost his mind... I guess, his brain had been damaged during its transplantation into his cyborg body. He left after destroying everything in the town. The parks, the schools, the buildings, my home... Of course... my family didn't survive. Only I was miraculously spared, but as I was just a meek 15-year-old boy back then, I wouldn't have survived long all alone in the ruins of a town if Dr. Kuseno hadn't passed town by chance and found me. Dr. Kuseno is a scientist of justice and was pursuing the cyborg to stop him. I begged Dr. Kuseno to transform me into a cyborg and was reborn as a cyborg who fights for justice. I made a promise to Dr. Kuseno to find that cyborg one day and destroy him.''
Assuming that the cyborg was finished, Saitama decided to step in.
''Huh. I see.''
Little did he know that he was in for a surprise.
''4 years have passed since then. I'm 19 years old and I've been travelling from town to town fighting off evil on the way. I have defeated monsters and evil organizations far too many to count. However, I've been unable to find any clues on the whereabouts of that mad cyborg. I couldn't help but feel more and more irritated and restless by the day. I have spent the last 4 years chasing after the cyborg without success. And then a week ago...when that mosquito monster appeared, I really let my guard down. It's because I was convinced that I couldn't possibly lose to anyone that isn't that mad cyborg. I made a full-frontal attack without even performing a data analysis on her beforehand. You already know what happened after that. I was caught off guard by her hidden powers and I would have definitely been destroyed if you hadn't passed by, by chance. You saved my life, Master Saitama. Dr. Kuseno was the first to save my life and you're the second and now it feels like the weight on my shoulders doubled. Now that it's come to this, I absolutely can't die before I've destroyed that cyborg. And for that I'll have to continue fighting evil until he appears before me one day...
I have to become stronger! When I saw you kill that mosquito beast with one hit, I knew that I had to become your disciple. If I was only as strong as you...Master Saitama, I must destroy that cyborg! And it's not only for myself. It's also for my hometown and for Doctor Kuseno as well. I know I'm still inexperienced...but I'm prepared to do anything to attain the power I need to defeat great evil! I'm sure that Dr. Kuseno would be delighted to -''
...
...
...
And with every intention or not, Genos had effectively once again triggered the bald caped crusader.
And this time, Saitama broke.
''ENOUGH YOU IDIOT! SHORTEN THIS STUPID STORY TO 20 WORDS OR LESS!''
MEANWHILE...
...
...
...
...
...
In a forest somewhere within the outskirts of City Z stands a secret facility that is really ironic to its purpose, as the facility stands as a seven story building in the middle of the forest right beside a cliffside, a man was watching through a holographic screen the fight of the female mosquito humanoid with Genos and Saitama. The man appeared to be in his late 20s and at his young age, he has sharp features with blue eyes and short black hair, parted on his right side.
On the screen of the holographic computer were images of several S-Class Heroes, namely Superalloy Darkshine, Pig God, Metal Bat and Watchdog Man. He appeared to be investigating or studying their battle capabilities. However, he was focused on the topic about his specimen's demise.
''So...Mosquito Girl has perished in battle huh? And with one punch you say? That's a shame. She was tied with Armored Gorilla for the third strongest specimen too. But I guess I can humbly accept that loss.'' the man said, conversing with his assistant who was standing in the opposite corner of the man's office.
The man had downloaded the footage from the video recorder of specimen Mosquito Girl, before he saw a naked Saitama preparing to slap the mosquito humanoid to oblivion.
Even this surprised the man to a mild extent.
''Why is he naked?'' he asked.
''Unknown.'' his assistant's only reply.
''Eh. Whatever. I'm sure he will make a great specimen for our research. We shall study his physiology - with force if necessary.''
The man then looked upon his assistant, his face plastered with his cocky smirk.
''Send a messenger and invite him here to our humble abode: Our House of Evolution.''
...
...
...
...
...
MEANWHILE
Genos and Saitama were still having their conversation in Saitama's apartment and it looks like that the caped baldy had already calmed down, ready to hear what Genos wanted to say next.
The bald powerhouse had ordered for a short version of Genos' backstory, and the cyborg, who was eager to be Saitama's disciple, was more than happy to comply with the caped baldy's wishes.
''Here is the short version, as requested Master.'' Genos started, taking a breath in and out before continuing.
''Please teach me the way on how to become strong like you are. I beg of you.'' the cyborg finished.
Saitama had put on his serious face, staring at the cyborg in front of him. The bald man blinked and let out a sigh, before finally making up his mind.
''Hey Genos.''
''Yes!''
''How old are you again?''
''I'm 19 sir!''
Now Saitama, believe it or not, was genuinely surprised.
''So young. I'm sure you'll surpass me in no time.''
Genos could not believe his mechanized ears. However, talking to a man with godly power no joke, he still had his doubts.
''Do you really mean that?''
Saitama let out a deep breath, before he continued.
''I was 22 when I started training to become a full-time hero. With my intensified training regimen and the fact that I had to already defeat monsters and evil organizations during my training, it took me three years to get this strong. I formally started my career when I was 25 years old. It's been 4 years ever since. I'm 29 now.'' Saitama replied, answering Genos' question.
The cyborg could only gasp.
''Fine. I'll teach you. But it won't be easy. Think you can handle it?'' was the question from the bald hero.
And excited as he is, Genos had only one answer for that question.
''Yes sir!'' Genos excitedly replied.
However, that excitement would soon die off as Genos' robotic eyes suddenly flashed yellow, and he looked to his left side, staring at the wall as if he had every intention to destroy it and burn it into smithereens. The cyborg then jumped into the kitchen room, wherein he was sensing something approaching.
''High-speed object approaching...it is here!''
Saitama was left puzzled.
''Huh?''
And then out of nowhere, the wall and the ceiling behind Saitama collapse and out came a Mysterious Being that resembled a praying mantis. It was a tall humanoid creature with many insect-like qualities. He is encased in a segmented, thorny exoskeleton, with clawed feet and serrated, scythe-like forelegs, similar to those of a praying mantis. Mandibles protrude on each side of his mouth, and the top of his skull is transparent and reflective, revealing his brain.
''Hahahahahahha! Greetings, I am - huh?''
Before the monster could even introduce itself properly, its face was welcomed by Saitama's fist, and by doing so, the monster's head splattered all over the wall, which was now stained by green, sticky liquid. The now headless corpse of the insect fell right in front of the bald powerhouse.
''You're gonna have to pay for my ceiling.'' Saitama told the headless corpse in annoyance.
...
...
...
Outside Saitama's apartment, two mysterious beings were standing and watching the commotion happening inside the bald man's room. One was a humanoid slug with a black-spotted, very slug-like torso and head, with the addition of arms, legs, a nose, and a mouth. The other was a humanoid frog with large eyes, a white stomach and throat, black spots on his back and arms, and a scar that runs across his face. He wears a wide belt with a tanto stuck through it, black pants, sandals, a pendant necklace and has a kanji tattoo on his left shoulder.
The slug spoke first.
''It seems that our advance agent Kamakyuri is down...I-I can't sense him with my telepathy.'' It boomed with its deep voice.
The humanoid frog was surprised at this statement.
''W-what? Wait a second, wasn't he one of our stronger guys?'' it said.
...
...
...
Inside Saitama's apartment, Genos looked towards the balcony, making constant beeping sounds along the way.
''There's two more outside...Master! Leave them to me!'' the cyborg exclaimed, before swiftly running and jumping out of the apartment through the balcony and making a smooth landing on the pavement below. However, the blonde was more than speechless when he found out that Saitama had beaten him outside, and that the said bald man was standing right on top of what seemed to be mincemeat and blood. The first blood had a yellow color, while the other one had purple.
Despite Genos' cybernetic personality, he couldn't help but feel rather disgusted at the sight.
''Don't bust other people's ceilings!'' Saitama shouted to the corpses in annoyance.
Genos, once again reeling in from the shock and awe, could only say two words.
''Oh. Nevermind.''
Saitama, who was still in grudge due to the damages done to his apartment room, continued rambling to the corpses.
''Calm down alright, the front door's there for a reason!''
However, just as the bald superhero finished his statement, two claws grabbed his legs from underground, before pulling him downwards until Saitama was trapped on the ground, only his head showing and surrounded by the sidewalk pavement. However, the bald man remained oblivious to everything that just happened.
Genos saw everything and was about to run towards his newly found sensei to help him.
''Master!''
''No no it's fine. I kinda feel like...a bamboo shoot.''
Genos was left confused as he stopped in his tracks, until he heard another voice coming from right behind him.
''Elevated energy levels detected.'' it boomed.
Before Genos could even blink, the building behind him exploded as the new Mysterious Being crashed through it, sending dust, rubble and debris flying into the air. The blonde cyborg then turned around, before feasting his eyes on his newfound opponent.
Golden irises locked on to sky blue eyes.
It was a massive cyborg with a gorilla head. His body is protected by full plate armor adorned with spikes on its shoulders, knee pads, and gauntlets. The armor's belt buckle resembles a gorilla's face, and the chest plate features a custom patch featuring the letters 'A' and 'G' arranged in a diamond shape.
As soon as the blonde cyborg analyzed his opponent, one question ran through his mind.
''A cyborg? Could it be...?''
With its deep voice, the gorilla cyborg then announced:
''You are not the target.''
However, Saitama, who was still stuck in the pavement, was struggling to see the incoming battle between the two cyborgs.
''Hey, what's going on? I can't see!'' Saitama complained, attempting to turn his head upside down to see the nearing battle.
''OUT OF THE WAY!'' the cyborg gorilla boomed, before slamming the ground in an attempt to strike Genos. However, while the blonde was smaller, he was a lot faster, and he jumped back just in time to evade the attack, but not before slamming his right foot onto the larger opponent's face while he was at it. When Genos landed to safety, he proceeded to run back towards the gorilla for an offensive attack, however, it was the gorilla who managed to attack first, swinging its right arm towards Genos, to which the blonde easily blocked it, before locking on and holding it to prevent it from crushing his small body frame in comparison to the cybernetic gorilla's.
As he locked his arms on the cyborg gorilla's so did he lock his eyes onto his opponent's.
''Now listen. I have a few questions for you...'' Genos grunted as he struggled to keep a hold of the gorilla's massive arm.
Genos' opponent only grunted in response.
Meanwhile, as Saitama remained stuck on the ground, another Mysterious Being neared him.
This time, it was a large, humanoid lion, with a full mane and tail. In spite of his humanoid, five-digit hands, he still wields sharp claws on his fingers and padded, four-toed feet. He wears a black shirt, animal furs on his shoulders, and a leopard-skin cloth around his waist, secured by heavy chains and a belt with a lion-head buckle. There are bracelets on both his wrists and ankles, and bracers on both biceps.
The lion-like creature laughed at the bald hero's predicament.
''You appear to be in what they call a tight spot! Magnificent work Ground Dragon!'' it boomed.
As soon after the lion monster said that statement, yet another mysterious being appeared. This time it was a large brown mole with a white pattern on his stomach in the form of a kanji that spells out his name, with his large claws being his distinctive feature.
''It complicates things when they put up a fight!'' the beast known as Ground Dragon exclaimed.
With all the commotion happening on Saitama's side, Genos got distracted and was forced to look away from his opponent for a short moment.
''Master!'' Genos shouted.
However, the cyborg quickly turned his head back to where his opponent was as soon as he heard its incoming footsteps.
''You dare look away? How courageous!'' the cybernetic gorilla boomed.
The humongous gorilla then attempted to once again strike Genos with an uppercut using its right fist, but Genos took advantage of his small frame and speed to quickly evade the seemingly powerful attack, before taking his turn for the offensive and charging a fire blast with his left palm ports. As swiftly as he can, Genos slammed his left palm onto the gorilla's torso, while simultaneously firing his intensified fire attack.
Said fire attack caused a huge and powerful but a brief inferno to blaze through the streets and the buildings nearby. Smoke and bright flames covered the gorilla.
For a moment, Genos stood in front of the blazing inferno he just created. However, through the forest of flames, out came the cyborg gorilla, attempting to body slam the blonde pyrokinetic cyborg, who swiftly jumped backwards in order to evaded the gorilla's attack, which missed and he slammed on the ground instead, causing large cracks and even a small fissure to form.
Dust, stones and rubble then flew all over, forcing Genos to take several steps back until the smoke cleared.
It wasn't long, before the blonde could see the gorilla cyborg stand up once more.
''I am the pinnacle of the House of Evolution's science. I am Armored Gorilla. Your attacks have no effect.'' it taunted, as it rose up through the smoke, ready to fight Genos once more.
''The House of Evolution? What does it want with my master?'' Genos asked, taking a step forward while clenching both his mechanical fists.
At this point, the Armored Gorilla had already formed a stance, steam constantly arising from its mechanical cybernetically-enhanced body after receiving several infernos and intensified fire attacks from the blond cyborg. Despite the punishment it had received, the gorilla stood with not even a scratch or a dent.
''It is none of your business. And it is our rule that we eliminate any of those who dare oppose us without fail or exception.''
The large cyborg gorilla took several steps closer as he towered over Genos once more, preparing for its attack.
Body still covered in massive amounts of steam, Armored Gorilla bravely and confidently announced to its smaller but faster opponent:
''I will destroy you.''
The blonde cyborg took a second to process everything that just happened. He took a moment to steal a glance at his master's situation, before making up his decision and shifting his focus straight back to his towering opponent, only replying with a grunt.
Genos then unclenched both his mechanical fists, his palm ports now slowly releasing and preparing his next fiery blast.
Knowing full well that the bald warrior he now calls as his master would not prove to be a distraction for him, given his god-like strength and power, he had made up his mind and processed everything in front of him. He would face the Armored Gorilla, and this time, he would not allow himself to be blinded with rage.
The blonde was not looking forward to any distractions in this fight.
It seemed that he had learned his lesson.
As Genos strategized about his offensive, the Armored Gorilla decided to start off the fight, swinging its massive right fist towards its swifter opponent.
However, instead of dodging it, Genos opted to counter it with an evenly forceful attack. Swinging back his left arm to gain momentum, he waited for only a few swift moments before thrusting his arm towards his opponent's incoming arm. Genos opened his palm and it was revealed that he had charged his Incineration move to an intensified degree.
The gorilla's fist and the teenage cyborg's palm collided and locked on to each other, resulting in yet another fireworks display.
However, the blonde had strengthened his flames so much, it brought severe damage to the nearby establishments. Not only that, but it also pushed the much larger Armored Gorilla backwards, who was once again enveloped in steam.
The gorilla shook off Genos' attack once more for the umpteenth time now.
Luckily, Saitama's apartment was saved. This was good news for Genos, as he had effectively brought his fight with the gorilla further away from his master's home.
The Armored Gorilla decided to speak.
''You are proving to be quite a nuisance. Let us end this quickly.'' the massive cyborg boomed, before slamming both of its fists unto the ground, the force of the attack sending a column of rocks and cement flying towards the blonde, pyrokinetic teenage cyborg.
Genos then managed to use the gorilla's attack to his advantage however, using the earth column heading straight towards him as a leverage, jumping and boosting himself into the air using the sharp formation of rubble and cement.
The blonde then pulled both his arms back for a swift moment, quickly charging his fire blast mid-air, before swinging both mechanical arms in front of him and releasing the powerful, blazing inferno right out from the ports of his palms. The tornado of fire swiftly approached the gorilla who was bounded to the ground, the large mechanical countering the incinerating blaze with a mighty swing of its left fist.
The gorilla's punch was more than enough to completely cancel Genos' mid-air blast of fire. Even the pyrokinetic cyborg was surprised.
''What the? The Armored Gorilla's simple punch completely negated my Incinerate attack.'' Genos muttered inside his central processing unit.
As Genos felt the force of gravity acting upon him, he swift robotic eye quickly saw the gorilla landing a punch that was aimed straight towards his decent. Acting as quickly as he can, Genos spun himself mid-air so that his right palm would connect with the gorilla's left fist, and once they did connect, the blonde released a swift stream of fire from his palm ports, boosting himself away from the gorilla, who had once again shook off his fiery attack.
Ignoring the steam around it, the Armored Gorilla pounded both its fists to its mechanized chest several times, booming in its deep, robotic voice.
It seemed that even I had underestimated my opponent. Genos thought to himself.
After beating its chest several times, the gorilla then charged rather swiftly towards Genos, roaring ferociously as if it was a real, wild gorilla.
And Genos quickly sped towards his incoming opponent, hoping to counter its next attack.
...
...
...
...
...
Meanwhile, Saitama really wasn't having a commotion, the bald superhero taking in a deep yawn despite being stuck underground underneath the mercy of a 22 feet tall lion monster who was towering and standing right in front of him.
Believe it or not, the bald powerhouse had almost fell asleep.
And the large, lion monster was offended by this. Its full set of teeth showing, gritting at Saitama, with the beast's blood red eyes locked on to the bald man's poker face.
''Hey! Jerkoff! What's with that look?!''
The beast only received a yawn as a reply.
However, after doing so, the bald man gave the monster a proper reply.
''Being underground keeps you cool, but at the same time, it's nice and warm. I'm sleepy, could you get lost?''
At first, the lion growled at his statement, but closing its eyes for a brief moment, the beast released a laugh, before once again looking down at the bald man who was stuck underground.
''I see I need to teach you your place.''
Following next is the lion beast kneeling down the pavement to face the bald caped crusader evenly, showing off its claws and pointing them at Saitama's face, right specifically at his eye balls. For a normal person, the distance between the sharp claws and Saitama's eyes would be too close for comfort, but it looked like the man had failed to even notice.
''Listen up! I'm gonna slice your eyes out with these! Then we'll see if you resist! The Beast King never lets anyone off easy!''
The monster had apparently introduced itself, but in reply, Saitama stepped out of his trap in mere seconds without breaking a sweat. He literally just stepped out of it, surprising Ground Dragon, who was right beside the Beast King, who was speechless as well.
The man didn't even need to dust himself before he spoke.
''Well, enough fooling around. If you wanna apologize, you better do it now. You guys smashed my ceiling!''
Both the Beast King and the Ground Dragon could only look at the man in shock and in awe. However, the Beast King had recovered quite quickly, as it stood up, towering over Saitama once again.
''Hmph. Fine. Then prepare to witness the power of the mighty - ''
''Aw man, I got dirt in my special pants' place.''
Even the so called Beast King was utterly left confused by this one.
''Hey! Are you even listening?''
''Yeah, yeah. Just give me a sec.''
And so Saitama removed the buckle of his belt momentarily, sweeping it off of dust and dirt, before proceeding to dust his lower pants region from remaining dust that loomed. He then fixed his belt buckle, before sweeping dust off the buckle itself.
''You done?''
At least the lion beast was polite.
''Yeah. One sec.''
Approximately three seconds passed, before Saitama declared;
''I'm done.''
With its body enlarging and blood red eyes glowing, the Beast King roared in pure anticipation.
''Then prepare to witness the true power of the mighty Beast King!''
''Lion Slash!''
Retracting its sharp and large claws, the Beast King swung its right arm targeted at Saitama. Its claws glowed a faint glow of silver, as the being released a powerful slash. The bald opponent merely sidestepped away in order to evade the attack, gaining a considerable distance before making an impact unto a house, literally slicing it into several smooth chops.
The Beast King would continue in an attempt to strike Saitama, but every time, the caped superhero evaded his attacks with no problem at all.
The monster's attempts lasted for a full minute, but by that point, he was already enraged.
Losing all temper and self-restraint, the Beast King gained considerable muscle mass in exchange for his top clothing and and ornaments, which were all promptly destroyed. With eyes of pure bloodlust, the Beast King roared with all its might.
''Lion Slash: Meteor Shower!''
Doubling his already swift and powerful attack, the Beast King simultaneously launched off multiple Lion Slashes. However, Saitama was still dodging it as if it was kid's play.
The bald man would get closer and closer to the opponent in a game of extreme hopscotch.
And when he finally got close, the bald superhero drawed his right fist, before swinging it towards the large mysterious being...
''Consecutive Normal Punches.'' Saitama muttered.
What was supposed to be only one punch, turned into a consecutive chain punch that was so fast, it seemed that every single punch landed on his target at the exact same time. The chain of punches landed with an impact so strong, the entire upper half of the Beast King's body obliterated into smithereens; an explosion of blood, flesh and lion meat.
As the remains of the Beast King's body fell into the streets below, Saitama then found himself locking his eyes onto his next target:
The Ground Dragon.
The large brown mole then swiftly made his way underground, fleeing away as fast as he can from the scene.
The Ground Dragon and dug and dug, desperately attempting to escape. It was already soaked in sweat.
''No one told me he'd be that strong! It's best we retreat now and regroup - ''
However, before the mole could even come close to finishing his sentence, a certain bald face appeared underground.
''Found youu...''
''NOOOO IMPOOSSIBBLEEEE!''
And what happened next is that a corpse of a large brown mole was sent crashing from the streets and was sent flying into the sky, the impact creating a large fissure within the streets. Through the hole caused by the flying corpse, out came Saitama, who looked at the destruction as if nothing had happened.
The bald man then looked at his side however, to see the damages caused by Genos' fight with the Armored Gorilla to the point that pipelines were revealed and the nearest tree was reduced to ashes.
Genos had defeated his opponent, and now had the gorilla under his mercy. The blonde remained raising his right arm, aimed towards the gorilla, the palm ports ready to release steam. The Armored Gorilla had been stripped off of its armor, revealing its biological head. Both its arms and legs had been severed off as well. Steam still enveloped its body, after being pummeled with Genos' fire attacks more than twelve times.
''Answer the question, or be eliminated. Your choice.'' said Genos coldly.
''It is you who will be taken care of. I am the third most powerful fighter in the House of Evolution. At your power level, you will never defeat the Beast King, the second most powerful. You will be destroyed.''
Saitama then appeared right behind Genos, holding a dangling eyeball with him.
''Is this who you mean?'' he asked the limbless gorilla.
''I believe so.'' replied Genos.
The three of them were then enlocked in a staring contest for over a minute...
Until one of them broke, that is.
''Look, I'm really sorry! I-I'll tell you everything, just don't kill me!'' the gorilla exclaimed, in an entirely new and lighter voice.
''What the? What happened to your robotic voice?'' asked Saitama.
''Sorry. I was just trying to sound cool.'' the gorilla admitted.
...
...
...
...
...
''What do you mean? The hit team was eliminated?''
''What? How's that possible!?''
''Don't jump into conclusions yet!''
''Verify the report! Immediately!''
In a secret underground facility, a commotion was ongoing. However, it remained that case until a certain man with glasses and his black, long-sleeved polo arrived.
''What's with the ruckus?'' the man asked.
It wasn't too long before it was revealed that every single worker in the facility was a clone of the man.
