Sorry guys, had to take a break day, but now we're back in business! Here's the reviews.
Zaralann - Thanks!
evolvelove - She is lovely :) … and a war IS coming, hopefully you guys enjoy what occurs.
Abeldrigo - I am going by the theory that Tatsumaki has power that is almost at Boros level, we have no confirmation on her power so yeah.
darksquall03 - Thank you!
Okay, on to today's chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 5
Genos had been keeping a steady pace for half an hour or so, although the time didn't mean much to him. He was only concerned about 2 things- finding his master, and possibly Miss Tatsumaki as well, and getting out of this hell he found himself in. He was surprised that nothing had shown itself yet… but he knew there had to be something. Luckily he could detect energy levels, so nothing would be sneaking up on him today. Especially not whatever was right behind him right now.
"I know you are there," said Genos, as he slowed himself to a stop. "You don't have to try and sneak up on me".
"Oh do you know?" mocked a raspy voice. "Hehe, so you can sense energy I see, figures."
The Class S hero turned to look at his pursuer, with a look of confidence.
"Precisely. Now get down here, I have some information I'd like to ask of you."
"And what would that be?" questioned the creature, as it plummeted to the floor.
For the first time, the cyborg could get a good look at the owner of the ever so annoying voice. It looked very skinny, and only appeared to be around the 7 foot mark height wise. The creature crouched on all fours in a crawling position, it's blank face staring at him. The only thing on the face was 2 glowing white eyes, and a glowing mouth to match, though it was only visible when he spoke.
"What are you, and where are we?" said the cyborg, getting straight to the point.
"Me? I am one of the many commanders of my people, however I can't give you my name, for your tongue could not speak it. However you can call us, the shadow people. And to make things even simpler, call me 'Black'."
The creature smiled, and waited a moment before continuing.
"And what being are you my dear boy?" asked the creature, still grinning as he spoke.
"I am Class S Hero, Demon Cyborg… however you did not answer my second question. You told me who and what you are, but not where we are."
"Hehe, you see it's simple… yet again you can't pronounce the name I'm sure so yet again I'll make this simple for you. This is the Shadow Dimension, which holds all of humanity's darkest thoughts. But that's enough talk, I'm getting a bit… hungry."
"Hmph, fine. Thanks for the info, but if you refuse to tell me more… then I'll have to incinerate you."
A look of shock struck Black's face, but only for a moment. Then that awful grin he had sported previously returned, but twice as large. Even someone as tough as Genos had a shiver run up his spine at the sight of this, though he kept his posture.
"How could you do that my dear child? I'm not sure if you realize, but… hehe… You seem to have a large chunk of you missing. Unless I'm unfamiliar with human anatomy, and all of you pathetic creatures have only ONE ARM!" Black teased, before laughing again.
"Even with the damage I've taken, handling an opponent like you should be an easy task," remarked the cyborg, confidently. "Even if I lose, know that there are two others here… and I'm the weakest of them."
Genos chuckled a bit, before taking a stance and revving up his body for battle.
Black's grin disappeared, his mouth not in sight. Only those eyes, staring directly at the cyborg.
"My dear boy…" Black spoke in a soft voice.
"You are going to die, my dear boy. Death shall be delivered."
Decided to focus on Genos this time around, hope you guys are fine with that, but tomorrow's chapter will be all Saitama/Tatsumaki if that's what you're looking for. Until next time.
