A/N: Longer chapter ahead.
-One Week since Alien Arrival-
The Hero Association was having another meeting about what was to be done with the aliens.
"Since their arrival, we've had a stream of complaints asking about the aliens." stated the executive with a cybernetic eye. "Most of which keep asking as to why the aliens haven't simply been dealt with."
"No one can blame the public." said the bespectacled worker. "After the first encounter with aliens ended in the destruction of City A, it's natural to be afraid of other extra-terrestrial visitors."
"Well, it doesn't help that the Class A Hero, Caped Baldy, seems to be letting their leader roam free." said a female executive. "Even if he's there with her at all times, it still doesn't seem to ease the fear of the public."
"Hence the stream of complaints we've been receiving. Mainly from eating establishments claiming that the alien is chasing off their business." explained the fat executive with a moustache before looking down at a piece of paper in his hand. "Also, we've been hearing reports that some of the other aliens aboard their ship have requested permission to leave and explore."
"Indeed. So far, the only aliens we've seen exit the ship have been the two that had arrived with the leader when they first arrived, and the few aliens that switch between what could be guard duty for the ship." explained the executive with the cybernetic eye. "We have no idea how many are aboard."
"If we grant them their request and they all disembark, who knows what kind of pandemonium they may cause." said the executive with his eyes barely open. "Although, if we force them to stay on their ship, they may revolt and attack. Even with the Class A Heroes we have stationed nearby, it may not be enough to quell them before they run amok in City V. Both choices are highly risky."
"Is that why you called me here?" Everyone turned to Child Emperor, who had been silently licking his lollipop until now.
"Yes." said the bearded worker. "We were hoping you could help us with this little dilemma. Have you finished-"
"Right here." C.E. interrupted as he brought out a tiny device that looked like an electronic ring. "If an alien wears this ring, the drone bug will follow wherever it goes, along with alerting me if the ring's removed by force. I made a few more to see how well they'll actually do in the field."
"You have our thanks." said an executive before turning their gaze to a picture of Skater. "Finally, after a thorough investigation, we've concluded that Class C hero, Skater, was not harmed by the alien leader. The injuries he's sustained were caused by his fight with a monster that had attacked City V before the alien arrived at the scene." While they were all relieved, most of the executives were hoping to use this to allow them to drive the aliens off their planet on the grounds of them attacking first. With that last report done, the meeting was adjourned.
"So, by wearing these weird tracking rings, my crew is allowed to roam outside?" Eyonae asked the Association Worker that accompanied Child Emperor to her ship.
"Yes." stated the worker. "However, this is just a trial run. Only a few will be allowed to leave at this time. Based on how the public reacts, we will determine if allowing the other aliens aboard to roam will be safe decision."
"Nothing personal." Child Emperor said. "Everyone's still afraid of aliens."
"No offense taken." Eyonae answered before turning back towards her ship. "Still, if my crew is allowed to travel around this planet, then you're going to need more of these rings."
"Which brings up a question the Hero Association wishes answered. How many aliens are on your ship?" the worker asked.
"Including myself, there are approximately 137 crewmembers aboard." she answered before disappearing inside. Child Emperor let out a 'hmm' while the worker gulped at the number.
"If this goes well, then we'll be having over 100 aliens roaming around at the same!" the worker said to himself.
"Relax. The aliens from before probably had a lot more members than these guys on their side, and we defeated them." Child Emperor reminded him.
"R-Right!" the worker nodded, though he was still nervous. His and C.E. looked back at the ship when Eyonae descended, with three other aliens following her. They were Uzkli, Svoneh, and the bat alien from before.
"These three are my most trusted men." Eyonae explained as she held up her right hand, one of the electronic rings attached to her wrist. "Uzkli and Svoneh were with me when I first visited the Hero Association. The third is Screech. They will be the first to test these rings of yours." she finished as Uzkli showed the ring on his left tendril, Svoneh on his left pinky finger, and Screech on his right ankle.
"Uh, Lady Eyonae." Screeh said in a whisper. "I've told you all before. My name's not Screech."
"I know that, but none of us can understand your name since you never say it outside your own tongue." she countered, causing his ears to fall in defeat. Turning back to the two humans, she gazed at the older one and continued. "Anything else?"
"No." the worker replied.
"In a nutshell, this is to see if we can trust you." C.E. explained.
"I understand." she said before she turned to a newcomer and scowled. "And now you're here." The other humans turned to see Saitama standing there in his hero outfit.
"Yeah." he responded before looking at the other three aliens. "They coming with us?"
"No. They're travelling elsewhere." she explained before waving her hand near her face. "Insects." she groaned as a bug flew away.
"Alright." Saitama agreed before they both walked off. With a final goodbye, Uzkli and Svoneh went off towards another city, while Screech took to the skies. Both humans left in the vehicle that they came in before conversing amongst themselves.
"Do you think this'll work?" the worker asked the Class S hero. "What if they suspect something."
"Even if they did, it wouldn't matter." Child Emperor said as he pulled out his computer and typed a few keys before four live feeds came up. "I'm just glad that the leader didn't smash that bug drone. I don't have anymore made at the moment."
-The day passes-
Many executives and Special Committee members were present before Child Emperor walked in.
"Ah, Child Emperor." Sitch greeted. "We've all been expecting you."
"I figured." the young hero said as he took a seat and brought his computer and punched in a command. Moments later, a video feed had been brought up for everyone to view from the table they were all sitting at. "Alright. Who do you all wish to view first."
"Since the alien leader hasn't done anything besides cause the public to complain about her presence, we'll save that video for last." spoke a woman from the Special Committee. "Let us see the videos of the other aliens.
"Alright." C.E. said through his lollipop before bringing up a video of Screech. "Well, this one hardly did anything. He flew for a few miles before he found a spot to sleep for most of the day." he explained as he skipped through the video feed, showing Screech hanging upside underneath a bridge in City X before stopping just as the alien bat stretched his wings and took off. They watched as Screech flew around some more, his head swivelling back and forth occasionally, as if looking for something.
"What is it looking for?" asked a bald executive before the video showed Screech suddenly diving towards the city. Most of the room looked shocked at the sudden action as Screech gently landed on the ground, scaring the citizens around him. The bug drone showed the people fleeing the area, which looked like a farmer's market, while shouting in panic.
"AH! MONSTER!"
"WAIT! IS IT ONE OF THE ALIENS?!"
"RUN FOR YOU LIVES!"
As the people ran, Screech merely folded his ears with a scowl before looking around some more and sniffing the air.
"I know I smelled food nearby." they heard him say before his head stopped in the direction of a nearby fruit stall. "Ah! Here's the food I smelled!" he said with what looked like a smile. He looked around before shrugging and walked up towards the stall and took some apples into his hands/claws and took a bite. "Mmm! Delicious!" A few more bites and both apples were gone. "Wish they hadn't run off. I was gonna pay for the food. Wait. Does this planet even take our currency? Eh, I'll worry about that later. Right now, I'm starving." he said before grabbing some strawberries and shoving them into his mouth. "Oh, this stuff is good." This was repeated until half of the stall's produce was gone. The alien released a belch before stretching his wings and flying off.
"Well, that explains why we've recieved a bill from City X to replaced stolen food." said the squinting executive. A quick fast forward showed Screech coming straight towards the ship. The alien then greeted the Hero Association worker that was standing near the ship before his ring was removed from his ankle just as Uzkli and Svoneh came into the picture. Both of them handed in their rings before all three of them entered the ship.
"So the alien known as Screech caused a minor disturbance in City X before returning." stated the bearded worker. "From his own words, it seems that it was unintentional."
"What about the other two aliens that were together?" asked the executive with the cybernetic eye.
"I'm bringing that up now." C.E. said before the video switched to Uzkli and Svoneh. "The both of them were wandering around City W." The video showed them causing a bit more of a ruckus than Screech.
"LOOK OUT! ALIENS!" Various shouts like this rang out as the citizens ran for terror before C.E. skippe through the video a bit before he stopped it again.
"Nothing interesting except a lot of chaos." C.E. stated, his finger just above the play button. "This part here is something you guys should here though." He then pressed play, showing the video of Uzkli and Svoneh walking out of a supermarket. Svoneh had a box of cereal that he was pouring down his mouth before chewing.
"This stuff ain't bad." he said with a grin. "Maybe when all is said and done, we can-"
"Quiet!" Uzkli snapped as he hit Svoneh with his left tentacle.
"Ouch! What was that for?!" Svoneh snapped. Uzkli did nothing except usher him closer to whisper something to him. "What?!" he yelled before looking around the area. "Where?!"
"I don't know. But until I say so, keep it to yourself, you twit." Uzkli ordered.
"Keep what to himself?" asked the bald executive as the video sped through again.
"I watched all this live while I was working earlier. Nothing else of importance is said." C.E. explained when some of the executives asked why he skipped through it. They came to the aliens arriving, handing in their rings, and entering the ship.
"What of the leader?" the bespectacled worker asked.
"That one's...a little interesting." C.E. said. That got everyone's attention as the video showed Eyonae and Saitama wondering through City V.
"Have you eaten?" Saitama asked Eyonae.
"No." she said. "I've become...curious about this planet's cuisine."
"Alright." he smiled. "I've actually been wanting to try this one place. It's a little far though."
"Lead on. I'll follow." she said before both of them suddenly ran off at high speed.
"Wait? How fast are they going?!" asked Sitch with wide eyes.
"They started in City V, and ended in City G." C.E. told them. The fact that City G was 9-10 cities away from City V wasn't the most interesting fact. Everyone in the room knew which city was where. What did get a reaction from them was when C.E. continued with, "It took them roughly 45 minutes to get there. And with no pit stops."
"What?! That's impossible!" cried out a female executive. "Not even Flashy Flash could reach City G from City V in that time!"
"These two must have incredible stamina!" an elderly Special Committee member commented in awe as the Class S hero sped through the video until the drone finally found them in City G. Both had entered a restaurant, with the customers either gone or fleeing, as the two ate their meal.
"These Earth dishes are good. What did you call these little green things?" Eyonae asked before taking another bite.
"Tsukemono." Saitama answered before eating some fish. Both quietly ate the meal, with Eyonae occasionally asking what each dish was, before they both finished. Eyonae went towards the door while Saitama walked to the owner to pay for the meal. "Here's the payment for the food." The owner scolwed at him before grabbing the money from his hand.
"I don't care if you're a hero. Keep that thing out of here!" he growled before walking into the back. Both hero and alien walked out the front door before walking off. The people in the room watched as the two of them travelled around looking at various places and buildings, with more people running away at the sight of Eyonae.
"And this explains the steady stream of complaints and calls we've gotten from City G today." groaned the squinted eyed executive. "Why does this hero insist on visiting places like this?"
"We'll have to question him about this later." said another executive before they went back to watching the video. A short time later, they came to an interesting sight. Both were simply walking before Eyonae's eye widened, followed by the sound of a gunshot going off. Everyone watching looked on in panic at the sound as the video kept going. Next thing they saw was Saitama's hand appearing in front of Eyonae's face before he dropped something onto the ground. The bug drone flew around to show a young man holding a handgun in his shaking hands before Saitama appeared before him. The man didn't have time to react before Saitama took the gun and squished it into a mangled ball of metal.
"That's dangerous." he said as he dropped the gun onto the ground. The man only stared in terror at the gun before glaring up at Saitama.
"What's your problem?! Why'd you defend that monster?!" the man yelled. "She needs to die!"
"Why?" Saitama asked. "She hasn't done anything wrong."
"She ha-Wha-ARE YOU STUPID?!" the man roared. He looked around 19 with a scruffy beard and red hair that curled up on the tips. He was wearing a red and green hoodie, a pair of blue cargo pants, and black boots. "THAT CREATURE'S FATHER DESTROYED CITY A! SHE EVEN ADMITTED THAT HER FATHER LEAD THE LAST ALIENS THAT WERE HERE! SHE'S PROBABLY REALLY HERE TO FINISH WHAT HER FATHER STARTED!" He then ran past Saitama and charged at Eyonae, his fist raised to strike. Eyonae merely sighed as the punch impacted against her left cheek, yet she didn't even flinch. The man's jaw dropped before he began rapidly punching at her with everything he had, while Eyonae took each and every one of them. "MY GIRLFRIEND'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOUR DAD! SHE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME! WHY?! WHY SHE'D HAVE TO DIE?!" he cried out, tears in his eyes. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE OUR PLANET ALONE, YOU ROTTEN ALIEN FREAK?!" He looked ready to continue before Saitama grabbed the hood of his hoodie and held him up before putting him to the side.
"Like you said, her father destroyed City A. So if you want to blame someone, blame him." Saitama said while looking down at him, his face showing irritation. "And besides, he's already dead for attacking our planet." The man could only glare up at them before running off, but stopped again and turned around.
"I HOPE YOUR FATHER SUFFERED LIKE THE MONSTER HE WAS, YOU ALIEN BITCH!" he roared before running off. Saitama stared at the man's running back before Eyonae walked forward.
"Where are you going?" he asked her, making her stop mid-step.
"For insulting my father, I'm going..." she began before looking over her shoulder at him, her eye wide with rage as she snarled. "To KILL that human!" She took a few more steps before Saitama got in her way. "Move!"
"No." he said, his arms crossed over his chest. "I won't let you kill anyone." Eyonae only growled before throwing her own flurry of punches at the bald hero, only for Saitama to block each one with one hand. She finally grabbed him and shoved him down into the ground before taking off after the man, only to be tripped when Saitama stuck his hand out through the pavement and grabbed her ankle. "Will you knock it off?" he asked as he got out of the ground, his hand stand firmly grasping her ankle.
"LET GO OF ME!" she roared as she tried to get away, only for Saitama to hold his hand high, making her dangle and flail while upside-down. "I SAID LET GO! NO ONE INSULTS MY FATHER LIKE THAT!"
"He's just angry. Lots of people lost someone they cared about when City A was destroyed. Just let them vent." Saitama told her, his grasp on her ankle still strong. She kept on flailing and struggling before finally going limp. "If I let go, will you not chase after him?"
"...fine." she huffed. Saitama let her go, which caused her head to hit the pavement. "DUMBASS!" she roared before sending him skyward with punch. "I'M CALLING IT A DAY AND RETURNING TO MY SHIP! DON'T FOLLOW ME!" she yelled before running of towards City V. The drone followed as best as it could after Eyonae, with only the tracking ring on her wrist allowing it to home in on her position. By the time it caught up, she had already retreated inside the ship. The drone followed inside, allowing the Hero Association members to see the ship's interior, along with many different species of aliens inside. The drone flew onward before coming to a door. The drone stayed outside for a few moments before one of the aliens knocked on her door.
"Uh, Lady Eyonae?" the alien called. Nothing happened at the moment before the door opened, revealing a very pissed off Eyonae glaring at him, making him jump and shake. "Th-There's a human a-asking f-f-for the ring on your w-wrist." Eyonae didn't take her glaring eye away from him as she removed the ring and dropped it on the floor in front of him before the door slammed shut. The alien nervously picked up the ring before running off towards the exit. The video ended after the ring was given to an Association worker.
"That's the end of the video." C.E. said as he powered down his computer and got out of his seat. "I sent a copy of the videos into the Hero Association Mainframe. You can view them all you like. I gotta get home. I gotta study." he explained before walking out. He was a good distance from the HQ inside a car driven by a worker before he opened his computer again and opened up a file while pushing a button, making a window appear to separate himself from the driver in front. When it came on, he saw another image of Eyonae crying her eye out on her bed. "Still crying after all this time, huh?" he asked himself.
-Earlier in Eyonae's room-
Eyonae shut the door before returning to her bed, grabbing her pillow, and shouting so loud that it seemed to be shaking the room despite the pillow muffling it. She continued to scream and rant into the pillow for a good 20 minutes before she stopped, her entire body stiff as she held the pillow to her face. It finally slid down to her chest, revealing her swollen, tear stained eye. She didn't say a word as she hiccuped before falling onto her bed and began to wail, her tears falling faster as she clung to the pillow. If she hadn't been lost in her misery, she'd have noticed a tiny little bug nestled into the corner of her room, watching everything happening before her.
-Present-
"I HATE THEM! I HATE THESE ROTTEN HUMANS! THEY'RE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ROTTEN UNIVERSE! I WASN'T THERE! I DIDN'T RAVAGE ALL THOSE PLANETS!" she yelled as loud as she could. "STOP BLAMING ME FOR MY FATHER'S ACTIONS, YOU BASTARDS!" Child Emperor watched as Eyonae wailed and ranted for a few more minutes before switching the computer off.
"Glad I installed a manual override inside the drones." he said. "Now, should I show this to the Association or not?"
