Bofoi was rather upset. When he had heard that aliens had once again appeared on Earth, he smirked at the thought of the new technology he could acquire after the aliens were felled by the other heroes. That smirk turned into a frown when the association ordered all heroes not to fight since the alien vessel hadn't attacked. That didn't stop him from sending out a miniature spy drone to the alien spacecraft's current location to analyze everything and anything, leaving him time to hack into the Hero Association database to try and find any information as to why the heroes were ordered not to engage the aliens. What he got was both interesting and irritating. While searching through the database, he had found a live video feed of the Class A hero, Caped Baldy, fighting against the alien leader. He had dug through more data while the video showed both combatants going at it before the alien collapsed, where he came upon a phone conversation between a few members of the HA. It seems that the alien called Caped Baldy out to a fight when he confessed to killing the previous invaders leader, this Boros that she had called him. From the intercepted call, he learned that the hero spared the alien leader on the grounds that she hadn't done anything to earn her a swift death. So not only was the association allowing her to leave for her ship, but he may have lost his chance to get his hands on new technology. That did not sit well for the Class-S Hero, who could only glare at the screen showing a close up of the Caped Baldy being yelled at by the leader before she and her associates left.
"This hero is becoming quite troublesome." Bofoi said to himself. "First he hurts my reputation when he smashed my defense drones for the H.A. Now he leaves the alien invader alive? What if it turns around and retaliates when it gets back to full strength? Worse yet, what if it does leave this planet?" The thought of new technology slipping away caused the scientist to scowl at the camera. "Curse you, you bald bastard!"
Saitama casually strolled through the front entrance to the H.A. HQ, ready to relax and enjoy a bit of food.
"Class-A Rank 39, Caped Baldy!" Saitama turned to see the bearded worker approaching him.
"That's me." Saitama confirmed. "Need something?"
"We'd like to have a word with you." the bearded worker stated.
"We?" Saitama asked in confusion.
Sitch, along with other excutive members of the H.A., were all waiting inside a meeting room before the bearded worker walked in with Saitama right behind him.
"I've brought Caped Baldy." he said to the other members inside the room. Saitama looked around the room as the bearded worker stood off to the side alongside the bespectacled worker.
"Hello, Caped Baldy." said Sitch. "Forgive us for the sudden summons, but there's something we would like to discuss with you." he said, his mind repeating what Eyonae explained earlier.
'My father, Boros, was known everywhere as 'The Dominator of the Universe'. As such, only a creature of unimaginable might could even come close to defeating him.'
"What is it that you want to talk about?" Saitama asked before Sitch pulled himself out of his thoughts and brought up the footage of Saitama fighting Eyonae.
"We were watching your fight with the alien's leader via a drone." Sitch began. "Though, with the amount of speed and power exhibited, we could only get a few clear shots."
"Oh! Is that what blew up when I punched Eyonae?" Saitama asked when Eyonae was shown flying at the camera. "So that was a camera, huh?"
"Indeed." said a woman wishing to get back on topic. "Caped Baldy, we called you here because we heard that you were the one who defeated her father. Is that true?"
"Yeah. He was pretty strong." Saitama answered, earning a few murmurs from the members in the room. "Why do you ask?"
"We have an assignment for you."
"CURSE THAT HUMAN!" Eyonae roared from inside her room of the spacecraft. After being brought back to the ship after getting her ass kicked, much to the surprise of the crew, Eyonae was taken to her room to 'quietly' let her body heal itself. As she shouted and ranted about how pissed she was at Saitama, the crew were huddled outside her room to ask Uzkli and Svoneh what had happened.
"How many times do we have to tell you pinheads?! We don't know what happened!" Svoneh bellowed to the rest of the crew.
"Lady Eyonae and the earth creature jumped to a different spot to have their battle." Uzkli explained. "When we saw them again, the battle was already over." The crew could only stare in utter shock at the news before Uzkli gave them an order. "If you all understand, then disperse."
"But...what do we do now?" one of the crew asked.
"Lady Eyonae's orders are absolute." said Svoneh, his arms crossed over his chest. "She's ordered that we are to remain on this planet until she defeats the one that killed Lord Boros."
"But that's impossible!" one of the crew cried out. "The level of strength between Lord Boros and Lady Eyonae is incomparible! If this creature could beat Lord Boros, then Lady Eyonae doesn't stand a chance!"
"That doesn't matter. Lady Eyonae's orders are final, so get lost!" Svoneh yelled, startling the crew into dispersing. When the rest of the crew were gone, Svoneh sighed and rubbed his head. "Still, it would be nice to explore this galaxy a bit instead of just sitting here with our thumbs up our asses while Lady Eyonae recovers."
"She is just beyond that door, if you want to ask." Uzkli chuckled.
"Screw that. I'm not talking to her." he huffed before the door made a clicking sound, a little red light going on up above it. "Especially since she's about to be like that."
"Ah, that time must've come again. Best we leave her alone then." Uzkli suggested, which earned a nod from Svoneh before they both walked away from the door. The had taken a left down another hall before another crewmember, a creature that looked like a cross between a shrimp and a monkey came walking towards them.
"Pardon me sirs, but I need to deliver a message to Lady Eyonae!" the monkey-shrimp stated.
"Lady Eyonae's unavailable at the moment." Uzkli informed him. "What is the message?" The crewmate opened it's mouth, but halted it's words when Uzkli raised his hand to stop him. "No. I understand. I'll pass the message along."
"Uh...okay sir." the crewmate nodded before walking off.
"Heh. That mindreading power your species possesses is rather useful." Svoneh said with a smirk before looking down at him. "So, what's the message?"
"Tell the crew to brace themselves." Uzkli said before walking back towards Eyonae's room. "We've been given a restriction for our stay on this planet. If what I just read from him is true, she's going to be pretty...agitated."
Genos was waiting inside Saitama's abode inside HQ before Saitama himself walked inside.
"Master!" Genos smiled as Saitama took off his boots and walked in before sitting down on the couch, a sigh escaping his lips. "I take it you won?"
"Yeah." Saitama sighed, his head resting in his hand. Genos' smile soon faded after watching Saitama's expression.
"Was the fight not satisfying?" he asked the bald hero.
"Well, she wasn't as tough as her father." Saitama said just as Rover jumped up onto the couch and wagged it's tail at him, with BS walking by with dog food in his hands.
"Then she was not worthy to fight you, Master." Genos stated. "Hopefully, she'll never return to our planet."
"Actually, she said she's not leaving earth until she kills me." Saitama explained, his face looking more bored as he explained.
"I see. In that case, would you like me to get rid of them?" Genos asked.
"No. Killing them isn't the answer." Saitama groaned, wondering why Genos seemed to think killing anything that annoyed him was the answer. "And since they haven't attacked anyone, the Hero Association won't force them off our planet."
"So, they're gonna live on earth?" BS asked them.
"Yeah. Though because of them, I'm not gonna have a lot of free time in the future." Saitama said, earning confused looks from the others. "Seems that Hero Association wants me to keep an eye on her."
-Flashback-
"You want to me to keep watch over the alien's leader?" Saitama asked Sitch.
"That is correct." Sitch said.
"Why?" Saitama asked.
"We know that the aliens have no desire to leave for the moment." explained a member with a robotic eye implant. "And since they haven't attacked anyone, the Hero Association cannot simply force them off planet."
"Okay, but why me? I mean, wouldn't this be a job for a Class-S hero?" Saitama asked.
"We had considered it, but from her earlier bout with Amai Mask, we've determined that she may be too much for the other heroes to handle." said a female as she brought up a screen showing Amai Mask being taken down by Eyonae. "And from the fight of yours that we witnessed earlier, we've discovered that she was holding back against him. However, you were able to stop her effortlessly."
"Which is why we wish to have you close to her in case she tries something." Sitch explained. "Well, Caped Baldy?"
-Flashback ends-
"And that's the story." Saitama finished explaining to the other occupants of the room. BS stared with his mouth wide open, the food he was muncing on falling out of his mouth. Genos only stood there, his eyes shadowed by his bangs, before a small smile came to his lips.
"This is great." he said as he looked up at Saitama. "Do you know what this means, Master?"
"Uh, that I'll have to send you out more often to catch bargain sales for me?" Saitama asked.
"The Hero Association chose you to watch her instead of the Class-S heroes during her stay! That means they're finally taking you seriously, Master!"
"Really?" Saitama asked, not having thought about it like that. "Cool."
"We should celebrate!" Genos suggested. "To your victory, and to the Association finally recognizing Master's strength!"
"Alright." Saitama replied nonchalantly, a small smile on his face as Genos prepared to leave to buy something to make a big dinner. 'I wonder if I should tell him that they offered me a promotion in rank?' he thought as he saw Genos start dashing around the kitchen area, getting ready to prepare food. '...no. If I do, Genos may never shut up about me.'
"Urrrgh...my head." Amai Mask groaned as his eyes slowly opened. He blinked a few times as he tried to recall what he was doing before ending up wherever he was now. "Where...?" he muttered as a blurry image began to form in his mind. It looked green...and red...with one eye... 'THE ALIENS!' he remembered as he shot up from his bed, only to wince because of his headache. He looked around and found himself inside a hospital bed, a bandage wrapped around his head.
"Oh, Mr. Amai Mask!" a nurse cried out in joy as she approached him. "It's so good to see you awake! How are you feeling?"
"Where are they?!" he demanded.
"Uh, who?" the nurse asked in confusion as Amai Mask began to get out of bed. "Wait! Your injuries are-"
"They'll heal on their own!" he yelled as he stood out of his bed. "Where are they aliens?!"
"The aliens have gone back to their ship." said a new voice. Both of them looked to see the bespectacled worker walking in while closing the door behind him.
"Their ship? Why?" Amai Masked asked as the worker approached him, leaving the nurse to step back away from the two. "Are they leaving our world?"
"No. They arrived at their ship hours ago, but they have not retreated back into space." the worker explained.
"Then they're still here?" Amai Masked growled before walking towards the door. "They're still in City-V, right? I'm heading there-"
"That won't be necessary." the worker interrupted. Amai Mask stopped, but did not turn around as the worker continued. "So long as they don't do anything to hurt or threaten our world, the Hero Association can do nothing but keep an eye on them." Amai Mask tightened his fists at the Association's decision. "And should they try anything, the Class-A hero, Caped Baldy, should be more than enough to stop them."
"The Caped Baldy?" Amai Mask asked as an image of Saitama's infamous poker face came to his mind.
"Indeed." he said before explaining to the hero/idol about Eyonae's interactions with Tatsumaki, and then Saitama. He then brought up a tablet to show Amai Mask their fight. "As you can see from this video, she's able to strengthen herself to unbelievable levels." Amai Mask glared at the screen, reluctantly realizing that she was holding back against him earlier.
"So, this hero drove the aliens off?" the hero asked when the video was done.
"Yes, but not before their leader declared that they weren't leaving until she had defeated him." the worker said, earning a glare from him.
"And the Caped Baldy. Where is he?" Amai Mask asked.
"He was summoned by the executives after the fight. The rest, you know." Amai Mask could only sigh after a moment of thinking before returning to his bed.
"Very well. However, should the time come to eliminate them, and he refuses," Amai Mask then glared at the worker. "I'll see to it that his days as a hero come to an end."
A/N: I hope I kept them in character. Please tell me how I'm doing.
