Genos had arrived at the Hero Association H.Q., intent on helping Saitama in any way against the aliens that were already inside said H.Q. He walked through the entrance, only to instantly recognize a few familiar faces. Class S heroes Pig God, Tank Top Master, Atomic Samurai, Flashy Flash, and Superalloy Darkshine were surrounding Child Emperor, who was typing away on a keyboard that came out of his backpack.
"Ah, Genos." said Atomic Samurai when he noticed him walking towards them, a frown on his face despite the friendly tone of voice. "You hear about the aliens here as well?"
"Indeed." Genos replied as he joined his fellow heroes. "I assume all of you are here for the same reason?"
"Yeah. The other Class S heroes haven't arrived yet." Atomic Samurai answered. "Don't know if they're coming or not though."
"Unfortunately, the Hero Association is refusing to tell any of us where the aliens are being held, so we can't keep an eye on them." Pig God said while wiping his forehead with a rag before looking down at Child Emperor. "That's why we're relying on Child Emperor here for help." Genos looked down at Child Emperor's screen while Flashy Flash approached Genos.
"He's hacking into the Hero Association's network." he whispered to the cyborg. "With any luck, he'll find the room they're in."
"I see. A preemptive strike on the aliens?" Genos whispered back.
"That's the idea." Darkshine nodded. "If we can take out the leader, the others will fall shortly thereafter."
"I see." Genos said as he quietly watched the screen. 'Based on the size of the ship, the number of aliens shouldn't be too large. Dealing with them afterwards should be easy.' His thoughts were interrupted when someone ran up to him.
"Hey, Demon Cyborg!" someone shouted. Genos and the others all turned to see Class A, rank 31 Forte running up towards him. He stopped and panted for a moment before looking Genos in the eye. "Thank God I found you! I need your help! Actually, I may need all your help!" he said while looking at the other Class S heroes.
"If you don't mind, we're a little busy here." Child Emperor mumbled through the lollipop in his mouth. "Is it a monster attack?"
"No." Forte answered.
"Have the aliens attacked someone?!" Pig God asked in worry.
"No!" Forte answered.
"If it doesn't involve the aliens or monsters, then what is it?" Tank Top Master asked.
"It's the new guy that joined Rank A! Caped Baldy! He's in an argument with Amai Mask right now!" Forte explained.
"Class A, Rank 1?" Genos asked in confusion. "And what are they arguing about?"
"Well, they're both looking for the aliens, and Amai Mask sounds like he wants to execute them on the spot!" Forte said.
"Good. That's what we're hoping to do." Atomic Samurai said with a small smile.
"But the Caped Baldy says he won't let him kill them!" Forte finished.
"Hang on. You mean he's gonna try and defend the aliens?!" Darkshine asked with wide eyes.
"Tch. This may be a repeat of Garou." Flashy Flash scowled, images of Saitama speaking against the heroes before Garou ran off coming to his mind.
"Where are they now?" Genos asked.
"This way!" Forte yelled as he ran down the hall, with Genos close behind.
"We should go, too." Child Emperor said as the keyboard disappeared into his backpack. "If that bald guy gets in the way again, the aliens might get away. We'll never get another chance like this!" Everyone agreed to that before running off after Genos and Forte.
-Meanwhile-
A crowd of people had gathered around the two Class A heroes as they both argued. Most were civilians living at the Hero Association Headquarters and were on Amai Mask's side to eradicate the aliens. The rest were members of the H.A. trying to calm the two heroes, and the crowd, down.
"Why is it that you keep getting in the way?" Amai Mask asked, his cool demeanor slowly starting to fade as he and Saitama continued to speak. "Need I remind you of what happened to City A when aliens first arrived?"
"Dude, I was there." Saitama deadpanned. "I know that they blew City A to pieces."
"If you know that, then why are you defending them?!" Amai Masked asked, almost growling the question.
"I never said I'm defending them." Saitama argued. "I'm just wondering why we need to kill them when they haven't done anything wrong."
"Even if they haven't done anything, they made it very clear that they didn't come here to be friends." Amai Mask stated.
"I know. I heard what they wanted from the T.V. Still, that doesn't give us the right to just outright murder them." Saitama explained while picking his ear.
"He's right." The crowd dispersed to allow the Bearded worker through and walk between the two heroes. "They haven't attacked anyone, nor have they made any threats to our planet or race."
"If that's true, then what was all that about their leader wanted vengeance?!" a man in the crowd shouted.
"He's right! And even if that alien's father was killed here, so what?! They wiped out a whole city without warning!" a woman shouted as a young boy walked forward, tears in his eyes.
"My daddy was in City A...was where we are now...but he got killed!" he cried. "Why can't they just go home?!" His cries sent a wave of anger out of the crowd, causing the workers to try and calm them all down. Amai Mask remained stone faced while Saitama plugged his ears to drown out their yelling.
"THE HEROES SHOULD JUST KILL THEM ALL!"
"YEAH! KILL EVERY ONE FOR ALL THOSE THAT WERE BLOWN AWAY WITH CITY A!" The crowd was getting riled up just as Forte and Genos finally arrived.
"Shit!" Forte cursed. "The crowd got bigger!"
"Master!" Genos yelled as he tried to see over the crowd. His voice got the attention of a few people, who immediately recognized him.
"Hey! It's the Class S hero, Demon Cyborg!" Everyone turned to see Genos and Forte walking towards the crowd.
"And the Class A hero, Forte, is with him too!" Soon after, the other Class S heroes from before had arrived.
"It's not just them! A whole bunch of Class S heroes are here!"
"Alright! Those aliens don't stand a chance against all these heroes!" The crowd was now cheering the heroes on as they approached Amai Mask and Saitama.
"Hey, Baldy! I heard you're planning to defend those aliens that were brought here. That true?" Atomic Samurai asked with a glare.
"Not you guys too." Saitama sighed. "For the last time, I'm not defending them."
"Then why do you stand in our way?" Pig God asked with a bored look.
"Because all of you seem pretty adamant on killing the aliens when they haven't done anything to deserve it." Saitama spoke. "Sure, they said that they want revenge, but they haven't fired a shot from their ship, nor have they attacked anyone after landing. If we just attack them first, won't we be the bad guys?" The crowd just glared at the bald hero after he was done speaking. While he was indeed right about the aliens not outright attacking, it didn't quell the anger or fear that they had.
"Well, at least someone here's thinking clearly." Everyone turned to see Eyonae approaching them, causing most of the crowd and heroes to either glare or back away from her. As she walked, she eyed every single person there, from the civilians to the heroes, gauging each of them as she walked through the dispersed crowd. 'Some of these earthlings are truly powerful. But this one...' she thought as she came to a stop in front of Saitama, who was looking at her with his trademark blank face. 'This one's power far exceeds them by unimaginable heights.'
"Oh, hey!" Saitama greeted. "All of us were looking for you."
"I heard." she replied as a member of the H.A. run up to the crowd.
"Hey!" he shouted while pointing wildly at Eyonae. "I turned my back for two seconds and you ran off!"
"I was bored being cooped up in that room." she said before stretching her arms above her head. "So I went for a walk." She lowered her arms before looking back at Saitama. "I have a question for you."
"Me?" he asked. "Okay. What is it?"
"Are you the one who-" she got out before she something impact with her jaw, sending her flying backwards through the wall. Everyone was stunned at what they just witnessed.
"I've tolerated this long enough!" Amai Mask growled as he lowered his fist and walked toward the hole in the wall. He walked through the wall, then the next, and the next until he stopped in front of Eyonae, who was now sticking out of another wall like a cheap decoration. She raised her head just as Amai Mask threw another punch, ready to end her life. 'Time to conduct Justice!' Amai Mask thought just as she looked at him, a smirk on her lips.
"Hmph. Weakling."
