"After that day; I trained so hard so hard I went bald. I became so powerful nobody could beat me" Saitama monologued bluntly.
She was stood in a grocery store wearing her hero attire casually. She got a few odd stares from men but more of them were kids in awe of her costume. She was wearing a Yellow leotard body suit with a Zip on the neck and white hem collar. She always kept it clean and while out and out in case of emergencies.
For accessories she wore a white ankle length cape kept in place with black pins attached to her shoulders. A black belt with a god circular fastening, Red elbow length gloves and red knee length flat boots.
It showed off her figure nicely and her smooth creamy legs. But it drew attention to her bust earning her some unwanted attention. The odd nerd thought she was a cosplayer and sent her messages asking her for hook-ups.
"I became the heroine I always idolized; so what is this?" Saitama thought to herself quietly as she put crab pieces in the basket. They should taste good in some fried rice tonight.
A woman walked behind her staring at her in shock. The look on her face suggested Saitama must have cancer which was the complete opposite in this situation. She in fact lost it due to large amounts of stress on her body.
She began to walk away to which a kid stared at her and pointed cheerfully while his mother tried to lead him away feeling mortified. But being a kid he couldn't help but stare; they were curious at that age.
"Why does my heart feel so lifeless and empty?" She questioned curiously. She thought once she became strong her heart would be full of joy; instead she felt nothing.
Saitama paid for her items casually; counting through her change so could get through her coins. If she could get rid of lose chance why not? Its not like she needed all of it.
"Hang on a sec" she said casually sorting through coins. She had the correct change it was just a bother to look for it. She was so busy sorting through her wallet she barely noticed the building shaking or the people beginning to panic.
She continued sorting through change until she found it. She barely noticed the fact that the people around her had vanished. "Here; I found the 82 yen" she said casually. It took her some time but she finally found it; slippery little things.
To her surprise there was nobody at the cash register. Not but 5 minutes ago she could have sworn a black curly haired woman in her 40's was serving her. She could have sworn there used to be customers around.
She looked around to discover that the entire store had been abandoned leaving it free roam to anyone. There was nothing to stop a burglary being held here now. Suddenly half of the building vanished as if it was sliced off by force. What on earth was going on right now?
Saitama approached only to realize she was stood in the middle of a footstep; a giant one that had destroyed a portion of the city that was made up of.
A giant muscular man with a skeletal mask face and tubes in his body wondered through the city. He was now the strongest human alive and nothing could stop him; he was unbeatable.
"Yes! This is incredible little brother" a black haired man cried gleefully. After years of research the potion had worked. In his hand he gripped a nearly empty vile of rainbow coloured liquid. It was super strength steroid potion that had now made his brother a living god.
"Who knew it would work so well?" with his intellect he had made a potion that would allow them to take over the world. There was no way in hell anyone could stop them now.
"Amazing" the monster thought to himself as he continued to roam across the tiny city beneath him. "This power is more than I ever could have imagined" His current strength exceeded far beyond his expectations he believed to reach.
Flashback
"My goal was to become the strongest man in the world". He trained and trained his body to the limit; growing stronger and stronger each day. But nothing he seemed to do satisfied how strong he wanted to be. He could never reach his desired goal of strength no matter what he did.
"The strongest man; that was my dream" He had desired to become so strong that even the gods would fear him; no matter what it took to reach it.
His younger brother laughed manically in the background. After many months and years of research he had finally found the potion that would fulfill his brother's dreams.
"AT LAST! The ultimate steroid biceps man is complete!" He laughed manically. It had taken him a long time but finally he had made the perfect drug to enhance his brother's strength.
He approached his younger brother grinning widely. At last he had done it; he had reached his brothers goal with time and patience. "Here Marogori; drink this and you will attain the power you have been seeking" The brother explained eagerly.
Marogori stared at his brother with uncertainty in his eyes. While he wanted to attain immense strength he was a bit uneasy about this things effect and what it would do to his body.
"I added strawberry flavour to make it go down easier" his brother assured him eagerly. If he was worried about taste then he had already fixed that for him no problem at all.
Marogari smiled appreciatively; he was really grateful that his brother was doing such a thing for him. There really was nothing that could beat brotherly love. It was like a bond no other could beat.
"Ok" he said gratefully. He then downed the drink in one without hesitation; suddenly he felt his body give a sudden urge. His eyes and mouth glowed with a green light and a power surged through his body like nothing he had ever felt before.
His body began to grow bigger and bigger; veins and muscles bursting from his body at immense speed. It was like nothing he had ever felt before in his life. Strength and power flowed through him like lightening. Finally he had reached his goal and was the strongest man alive.
"Yes wonderful" his brother cried as he watched the effect of the drug take place. Finally they had achieved their goal together.
Now
"With my brains and your brawn; by combining the strongest of minds and the strongest of bodies this world has to offer. We will rule the world together as kings; we're unstoppable!" the younger brother screamed with delight.
There wasn't a force on earth that could beat the two of them combined. Anyone who tried would be killed without hesitation by his brother's strength. They were just ants beneath two powerful beings.
Morogari swung his arm; the blast wiping out a large swipe of the city. Homes and buildings were flattened in minutes from the destruction. "Incredible" his brother muttered in awe. With just one simple swing he had taken down an entire piece of a city.
"GOOD WELL DONE! THOUSANDS HAVE PERISHED!" he screamed with delight. They were fools to think they could escape his power. They were just ants compared to them combined.
"NOW ONTO CLEANSE THE NEXT TOWN AS WELL!" He ordered manically. No weak beings deserved to survive; only the strong could continue to exist. To have the weak still alive made no sense.
Morogari continued onward his destruction laying for miles. Nothing could stand in his way now; they would all be crushed by his immense strength. "This is it; this is what I was looking for" Morogari thought to himself gleefully. He had longed for this godlike strength all his life.
Now with his brother's help he had reached his desired goal. He was the strongest human alive and nothing and nobody could get in his way now "To be the strongest man".
Meanwhile elsewhere in the city
"This is an emergency evacuation warning; a creature of unknown origin has appeared outside city D. The creature is now on a direct path to city B". Millions of people fled in panic from fear of what this creature could do. They could be killed or badly injured; none of them were strong enough to stand up to him.
"All resident please evacuate immediately; I repeat this is not a drill". People fled screaming as chaos erupted around them; where had this thing come from and why was it attacking them?
Meanwhile with brothers
"YES! Run! Scatter like ants! Destroy them all!" The younger brother cried eagerly his voice filled with madness. They would see what true power was; nothing could stand in their way and nothing could stop them. They would show those idiots down below what true strength meant and what they were capable of.
"The strongest man, the strongest man, the strongest man" Morogari chanted quietly not listening to his brother. The two were so immersed in their needless killing spree that they failed to notice the 3rd party who had joined them.
"So what do you think dear brother?" he cried manically a grin spreading across his face. Was he pleased by his new found strength he had given him? All the work he had done for his sake.
"Yeah" a female voice agreed casually. Had he had quite enough of causing problems already? He was lucky he hadn't taken down her local store; then she would be seriously pissed.
She loved her daily shop at her supermarket; bargain deals made dinner much cheaper. She cared little for fashion in all honesty but a good meal bargain made all the difference. Tasty meals for good prices; now that was something she enjoyed.
"How does it feel being the strongest?" Saitama asked casually. Was it everything he ever dreamed of? She certainly didn't find it too entertaining herself. It tended to get pretty boring in the end.
The younger brother looked over to see a female standing on his brother's right shoulder. Even if she was pretty hot; nobody would stand in their way. "THERE'S SOMEONE ON YOUR SHOULDER!" He screamed loudly. How the hell had she got there without either of them noticing?
"Would it kill you to wear some pants?" Saitama asked casually. Surely for what he had power; decency wasn't too much to ask was it? Nobody wanted to see his junk swinging about.
The younger brother growled angrily. How dare she act so insolently towards the two new rulers of this earth! "THAT BITCH ON YOUR SHOULDER! KILL HER!" He demanded angrily. Nobody was going to stand in their way; not even some interfering woman.
Morogari stood quietly not saying anything. He then raised his right hand crushing someone beneath it. He removed his hand to look at the crushed human in his hand not expecting to see what he did next.
His body stiffened before he trembled with horror at what he had done. He had crushed his only brother; the person who helped him achieve what he wanted all along. "BROTHER NOOOOOO!" He screamed loudly in despair. What had he done? Why did this have to happen?
Saitama placed her fingers in her ears as he yelled loudly. Her cape flew out behind her in the giant breeze he created with his voice. She was glad to be up so high; at least nobody could see her but from up here. She was safe from perverts at least.
"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!" He screamed angrily his body shaking with anger and sadness. He clenched his free hand to his face tightly fighting tears. He had achieved his dream but with his new found strength he had killed his own brother.
"All I wanted was to be the strongest man in the world. Now that I finally am I killed my own brother!" he yelled bitterly. What was the use in being strong if he killed the one person dear to him? He had nobody left in this world now.
Saitama stared blankly at him smiling widely. So he had finally realized the irony of being strong; not so much fun was it? When you realized all your dreams came to nothing.
Morogari glared at her fiercely. Was she mocking him for what he had done? Did she know he would do this?! He reached out to crush her too; it was her fault he died. If she hadn't interfered then he wouldn't be dead.
He gripped Saitama in his hands her smile still on her face. This was supposed to be how strong he was? She barely felt a thing. Maybe whatever made him like had been a prototype.
"I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE! BUT I'M BLAMING YOU!" he yelled fiercely. She had shown up just before he killed him; how did he know she didn't use some form of power to hypnotize him?
He raised his hand in the air and threw Saitama to the ground sending her straight into a tower. The glass shattered and the building collapsed under the weight of his throw.
Saitama lay on the ground unfazed; great now her uniform was dirty again and she had picked up a few scrapes. She would have to do more laundry today because of this creature.
Morogari leapt at her with his right foot raised. He was going to crush this bitch for what she had caused to happen. He stamped on the floor wiping out even more cities and areas. He didn't care; he had lost everything he cared about.
"The strongest! BEHOLD OUR BROTHERLY POWER!" Morogari screamed loudly punching the ground where she landed. There was no way she could survive this attack. No normal human could live through the strength of his blows.
As the smoke cleared a giant hole was revealed where Saitama had been. He had finally vented his anger; but it would not bring his brother back. He breathed heavily and clenched his fists. It was all over now; he had got his revenge for what had happened.
"I am the strongest…." He trailed off quietly. He opened his hand to reveal his brothers crushed body in his hand. A tear spiked his eye thinking about what he had lost; what he had done. How he had been the cause of his death.
"But what does it matter? I feel empty" Morogari whispered quietly. He got what he wanted; but he felt dead inside. He had nothing that mattered to him now; his driving goal was gone.
"Finally seeing it my way now?" Saitama said casually from the crater. Now he could understand being strong wasn't so fun after all. She flew upwards out of the hole too fast for Morogari to catch on. She was a quick one for someone so small.
She punched his face hard causing him to fly backwards indenting his face. Her long cloak flew behind her and she floated casually in midair. Nice breeze up here today; mild but tolerable.
Surely now this guy understood that being the strongest meant nothing. Once you attained it you realized you had nothing to live for. No longer did you have a drive to achieve.
"Having such strength kind of gets lame" Saitama revealed casually. There was nothing really cool about it when you could defeat anyone easily. It was like knowing the answer to a game and it got boring really fast.
Morogari fell backwards into city B completely knocked out. Accidentally when she punched him Saitama hadn't looked where he would land. "Shit" she muttered awkwardly as she looked at his landing. That hadn't exactly been her best move yet.
After
Diggers and trucks had come from everywhere that was still left intact. A full on recovery and rescue mission was going on to help aid the destroyed areas. There were shelters made to home those that lost their homes.
Saitama casually walked out of a nearby store that had survived. She had managed to get her groceries she had been forced to leave behind to fight the monster. "There's no sign that the evils of this world are disappearing. That hasn't changed since before I became a hero" Saitama monologue casually.
Back when she was a middle school student, high school grad, college student and unemployed. There had still been evil in the world all around her; even now as a hero they still remained.
"So I guess that means I haven't made any difference" She thought casually as she walked along. Even with all her good deeds she hadn't made a large chunk of difference at all.
"I'm not necessarily sad about that…" she revealed bluntly. There were some things you couldn't change and that was part of life. She looked to the side and spotted a cat bathing itself under the headlights. Unaware and uncaring of the fact it was being watched by her.
"But there has been something eating at me lately" She admitted hesitantly; something that had been nagging at the back of her mind for a while. The cat stopped bathing itself and looked at her curiously. It didn't run away it just stared at her quietly.
Saitama approached the cat quietly to pet it but it ran away from her. It wasn't scared of her it just had better places to be at this time. "As the days pass my emotions grow more distant. Fear, tension, joy, anger; they are all alien to me now" she sighed heavily.
All the emotions she once had before starting her training were now dead to her. She was no longer able to feel the emotions she once had back then. "In exchange for power maybe I've lost something essential for becoming human" Saitama pondered quietly.
While being strong had its perks and problems; she did sometimes miss or wonder what it felt like to have emotions. To feel something, feel anything inside; even for just a second.
Suddenly the same cat ran in front of her more upset. It meowed unhappily as it rushed away from something. She looked up to see a car monster attacking another abandoned car. Not that she cared; she had to get home and make dinner already.
"No sense hiding if you saw me!" he yelled approaching her suddenly. There was nobody to save her or that could hear her out here.
Saitama looked up to face at him and was only glad he had a licence plate over his groin. She didn't want to have dinner with the memory of his literal "Junk" in her face.
He continued to rant about his name and background uncaring of what he said. This was like a re-run against that crab guy before she became a heroine. Ah the days when she used to care.
"Before I used to have all sorts of emotions running through me when I fought opponents; fear, dread, panic, rage…" she trailed off as the monster approached her.
"If you try get in my way; I'll put a spit shine on that big headlight of yours" he threatened menacingly. Without care Saitama punched him so hard he split in two screaming his head off. While she cared about few things she was sensitive to her baldness.
"But now all I need is one punch to end it" she explained bluntly. She impacted all her strength into one punching ending the fight instantly. She walked away leaving the wrecked monster for someone else to find. Not that she cared she had more important matters on her mind.
"Omelette rice sounds good" Saitama thought casually. The eggs were already broken and she had rice to use so why not? It had been a while and it was oddly satisfying to eat. It reminded her of her childhood when she got hungry her mother would make it for lunch.
Back at apartment
Saitama stood by the sink wearing her blue striped PJ top. She was washing her gloves to keep them clean; didn't want them to stain after all. "Every day I come home and wash my gloves" she explained casually. Since they were the only thing that got filthy it saved laundry.
She then entered the bathroom quietly to soak her body and tense muscles. All that walking had tired her out and that impact to the ground had cricked her back a little.
Her breasts floated above the water like small humps as she soaked in the bath; they were the only thing that seemed to float. Sometimes she swore they got bigger if that were possible.
"When I go out and fight monsters; I never really feel my hearts in it anymore" She contemplated as she soaked in the bath. The emotions she had felt before her training were raw and wild; filled with the desire to persevere. Now she felt nothing inside and couldn't feel any form of joy at all.
She sat by the TV quietly after her bath staring at the TV; some comedy shows were on and they were good to pass the time with. Dinner was tasty and a good use of the eggs. Luckily a few had plenty of egg batter left to make pancakes or more omelettes through the week if she wished.
"I mean I just do the Heroine thing as a hobby. But as long as I get a kick out of it; that's all I really care about". It was a good way to pass the time and it was a good form of temporary entertainment for her.
She sighed heavily and turned everything off. It was late and she had been really busy today; she needed some well earned rest right now. She cuddled into her futon comfortably for the night and began to settle. Tomorrow was another day after all.
