-12 days since alien arrival-

A tense atmosphere fille the air inside the H.A. Meeting Room. Everyone inside were trying to hide their fear of the man before them, his intimidating aura threatening to swallow them whole.

"Do you understand our request, King?" Sitch asked the Class S hero. King was looking at everyone inside the room, causing them flinch in fear of the man before them.

"You wish for me to watch the alien leader the next time she decides to take a stroll?" King asked, making sure he heard right.

"T-That's correct!" stuttered an executive while trying not to pass out in fear. "It seems that she's r-requested for someone other than Class A Rank 39 Caped Baldy to escort her."

"Hmm. Were there no other heroes available?" he asked the executives.

"We had considered asking one of the other Class S heroes. However, we felt that your strength would be best to handle her in case she tried anything." explained a female executive.

"I see." King replied with a nod before standing. "Very well. I'll be her escort for today."

"You have our gratitude." Sitch said with a smile before King left the room. When the door closed, the tense atmosphere lifted, letting out relax again.

"Do you think this will work?" asked the fat bald executive.

"If anyone can scare the aliens off our world, it's Mr. King." replied another executive. "If nothing else, he'll destroy the aliens without any problems should they try and fight back."

-With King-

King was sitting inside the H.A. car that was transporting him to City V, where the alien ship was still located. The driver was utterly terrified, not because of where he was going, but of the sound of the 'King's Engine' roaring in the backseat. King sat in silence, his face hidden in shadows as the car drove on, his body trembling with excitement for his encounter with the aliens.

No, wait. That's fear.

'Why me?!' King thought, his face screwed up in terror as the car got closer to the landing sight. 'Why couldn't they have just asked another hero?! Why'd they have to ask me to lead them around?! WHY DID I EVEN ANSWER THEIR STUPID PHONE CALL?!'

'Look at him.' thought the driver as he noticed King's shadow through the glass of the car. 'King must be utterly excited to fight these aliens! I can't help but pity the aliens now.' thought the driver as the spaceship came into view. "Mr. King. We'll be there in about five minutes."

"Good." King said in a faux-calm voice, his mind racing in worry. 'Five more minutes, then I'm dead! Why didn't Saitama destroy the leader when they first met?! Shit!' he thought before taking a few deep breaths. 'No! Calm down. I can do this. The orders weren't to destroy her. They were to be her escort for the day, with the hope of scaring her off. If that's the case, then all I have to do is just make sure not to piss her off. We travel around the for the day, visit some...places...' He whipped out his voice, dialed a number, and calmed himself down before speaking. "This is King. Do you have what I ordered ready?"

"Yes, Mr. King." said the other voice on the line.

"Good. Thank you." he replied before hanging up.

Eyonae was staring at the H.A. worker with disinterest as he went on and on about how amazing her new escort today was. When he didn't say anything for 20 seconds, she finally spoke.

"So, my next escort is called the strongest man in the world. Correct?" she asked.

"Indeed." the man nodded with a smile before a car pulled up. "Ah! That must be him now!" he semi-squealed as King emerged from the limo that had brought him. "King!" Hearing his name, said hero turned to look at him, then to Eyonae.

'This is my escort?' she asked as she eyed King before blinking in confusion. 'What's that thumping sound?'

"You must be the alien leader called Eyonae, correct?" King asked in a calm voice, despite his rapidly beating heart.

"Oh man! It's the 'King's Engine!'" the H.A. worker gulped, his excitement replaced with fear.

"Indeed." she nodded. "And you're the hero everyone calls King?"

"That's right." he said before looking at the H.A worker. "My package?"

"Oh, yes! Right here!" the worker nodded while placing his hand on the cardboard box next to him, earning a small smile from King.

"And what exactly is this package for anyway?" Eyonae asked, having been wondering about the box since it arrived not that long ago. King's only answer was a smile.

-1 hour later in City L-

"No! No! NO! NOSHIIIIT!"

'YOU LOSE!'

A crowd had gathered around two individuals inside an arcade in City M, with one of them grasping their head in frustration.

"HOW?! HOW IS IT THAT YOU BEAT ME AT THIS THING 23 TIMES?!" screamed the woman. "DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT THIS JUST CAME OUT?!"

"It did. And I was there when it came out." the man replied in a calm tone, a hint of smug in his voice.

"That still doesn't explain how I haven't landed ONE HIT ON YOU!" the woman roared before throwing her hands up. "You know what?! Fine! I give up! You win! Can we go now?!"

"Heheh. Alright." the man smiled under his cap before the two of them walked out of the arcade, the crowd of people parting for them. They walked in silence for about two minutes before the man looked at the woman. "Well?" the man asked as he tilted his cap up, revealing himself as King.

"Okay. I'll admit." Eyonae replied from under the cap that pushed her wild hair over most of her face, leaving only a hint of her lips uncovered. She was wearing jeans, sneakers, a blue hoodie, red gloves, and a black baseball hat, completely hiding herself from prying eyes. "The disguise is nice. Don't know why you bothered to get me one."

"I heard some people talking about how you and Saitama were constantly being yelled at and refused entry to a lot of places you tried entering. Figured that a disguise would help." King explained. Eyonae's lips drew into a sneer as she pushed the cap lower over her face, a growl escaping her throat.

"Can we kindly leave past instances in the past?" she bit out.

"Uh...sure." King coughed uncormfortably. "A-Anyway, is there anywhere specific you'd like to go?"

"Anywhere's fine, so long as it's not another one of those 'arcades' that we just left." she sighed. "Despite the fact that it's been nearly two weeks since we landed here, I've barely seen this planet."

"Alright then. Let's see..." King muttered as he racked his brain trying to figure out where they should go next. 'We could go to the videogame store and see if there's anything new out. No, she'd probably just think I'm looking for another game to kick her ass in...My home? No way. Don't want any aliens finding out where I live, lest they show up for an unexpected visit. Crap, I've got nothing!' he mentally yelled, a bead of sweat rolling down his cheek, followed by many others. 'What do I do?! If I piss her off, we may get into a fight! And if that happens, she'll either find out I'm a fraud or kill me!'

"What's that thumping sound you're making?" Eyonae asked him, taking him out of his thoughts.

"Wha?" he asked before hearing his own heartbeat going.

"Is that the King's Engine?!" Both of them turned to see someone looking right at King, they're expression in awe and disbelief. "It is! I've heard it before!"

"Wait?! Does that mean the big guy's King?!" another asked.

"Uh-oh." King muttered under his breath as a crowd of people began to surround him.

"Those three scars are unmistakable! It's King!"

"The Strongest Man! Alright!"

"Can I have your autograph?! Please?!"

'Wow, he wasn't kidding about needing a disguise.' Eyonae thought as she watched King get swamped by civilians. Her eye shifted down to the back of the crowd to a child trying to squeeze her way in, only to be knocked onto her butt by someone's leg. 'She must be another fan.' she thought before she spotted the tears beginning to form at the corners of her eyes. She looked at King, then the child, then at King again before lowering her cap, hiding most of her face.

-With King-

'Not again.' King thought in irritation as he was crowded by all the civilians. 'Well, best to just calmly ask them to clear the path. "Pardon me." he said, making them all shut up. "I was out today with a friend of mine. Could you please clear the way?"

"You heard King! Clear a path!"

"We're so sorry, Mr. King!"

"Who's your friend?"

"Was she that woman that walked off with a child a moment ago?"

"Yes. She was the...what'd you just say?" King asked, his eyes widening at the man that said that last sentence.

"Yeah. They went that way." the man answered while pointing his thumb behind him down a random street. "I thought they were mother and child since they were holding hands."

"Y-Yeah. Something like that." King replied with a forced smiled before jogging off towards the direction the man pointed. When he rounded the corner, he broke out into a full sprint, his face morphed into a look of utter panic. 'SHIIIIIIT! I TAKE MY EYES OFF OF HER FOR A SECOND, AND THIS HAPPENS?! WHERE'D SHE GO?! WHY WAS SHE WITH A CHILD?! WHAT DO I DO?!' He nearly jumped out of his skin when his phone started ringing. He took a few deep breaths while pulling it out before regaining a calm voice and answering. "Hello?"

"Turn around and head to your left down the street, King."

"Wha-Child Emperor?" King asked in confusion.

"Did you forget that I made the tracking ring that she's wearing?" the young hero asked. "She's not that far from you. Now go."

"Right." King answered before following C.E.'s instructions. "I can't believe this! I take my eyes off of her for a second, and she kidnaps a child!"

"Actually, it may not be a kidnapping."

"If it wasn't a kidnapping, then what?" King asked as he turned another corner, only to stop for a moment when he finally saw Eyonae walking down the street, a little girl holding her hand. "Found them!" he smiled before hanging up and running up to them, his loud heart causing everyone around to turn and look at him.

"Oh, it's you." Eyonae deadpanned with a smile. "Finally got away from your fans?"

"Why did you run off?!" King demanded while trying to get his breathing under control.

"I was helping this little girl out." Eyonae answered while patting the little girl's head.

"Uh...helping her with what?" King asked in confusion

"Well, Mika here's lost. She was trying to ask for your help, but she couldn't get through the crowd. So I thought I'd help her out." Eyonae explained. King blinked, once, twice, three times before looking down at the little girl. She looked no older than 7, had a little blue and green dress, light hair, and big eyes that kept looking between the two of them. Clutched in her hands was a little blue stuffed rabbit with pink inner ears and bright yellow ribbon tied around the right ear.

"Why didn't you just get my attention?" King asked.

"How?" Eyonae asked him. "You got swamped-!" Without warning, people were crowding around King, recognizing the sound of the 'King's Engine' coming from him. Eyonae and Mika stepped back so that King could handle his fanbase without interruption, a small smile on Eyonae's face as she watched King get surrounded. "Like that." King couldn't even get out a retort over the sound of people constantly badgering him, leaving Eyonae and Mika to just stare. "At this rate, we're never gonna get anywhere." she sighed. "Plug your ears, kid." The girl looked up at her in confusion for a second before doing so just as Eyonae took in a deep breath.

"WOULD YOU ALL KINDLY CRAM IT ALREADY?!"

The force of Eyonae's bellowing practically blew everyone over with the sheer volume, leaving them all speechless as she spoke in a more normal tone.

"This little girl's been trying to ask that hero for help, but she can't because you idiots won't give him room and let him do his job." Eyonae explained, her gaze at the ground so that no one could see her eye and panic. The crowd all looked down at the little girl, who was being gently pushed forward by Eyonae. The girl began walking forward on her own while the crowd split until she was finally standing before King, her neck craning to meet the intimidating man's gaze.

"Uh...Mr. King?" the little girl started, her body trembling under the man's hardened eyes. "Umm...c-can you help me find m-my mommy?" she finally got out. King did nothing at first before moving his hand towards the child, making her flinch before she felt his hand pat her head.

"Alright." The girl looked up to see King crouching down to her eye level, a kind smile on his face. "I'll help you find your mom. Alright, Mika?" The little girl smiled wide before hugging the Class S hero, who brought her up and placed her on his shoulder. "Sorry everyone. This little girl takes priority." The crowd actually cheered, wishing the girl good luck as King, Eyonae, and Mika were now off to find Mika's mother. An hour passed with the trio asking various people if they'd seen or met a woman looking for her child, which took a lot longer on account of people going crazy over seeing King in person.

"This isn't going as easy as I'd hoped it would." King sighed from where they sat on the bus.

"Well, this is a big city. Finding a single person in it wouldn't exactly be easy." Eyonae replied while staring out the window.

"By the way," King said, gaining her attention. "I'm curious. Why'd you decide to help her out? I mean, this isn't your pl-city!" he quickly corrected himself at the end. "So, why?"

"The lady here said that she didn't want me to end up like her." Mika replied. King looked down at her as she continued. "She said that a child shouldn't grow up without their parents. So the nice lady said she'd help me out since you were busy earlier." King's mouth fell open as he stared at Eyonae, who went back to staring out the window.

'Who are you?' King thought.

BANG!

"NOBODY MOVE!"

Everyone turned to the front to see three men standing near the front of the bus. Each were armed and wearing common ski masks over their faces, with their leader being the one holding a smoking shotgun to the new hole in the ceiling.

"AHHH! GUN!" a man yelped in panic, which resulted in the leader smashing the butt of the gun to his nose.

"SHUT UP!" the leader yelled before holding the gun towards the driver. "DRIVE! OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!" Fearing for his life, the driver consented and drove off like nothing was wrong. "Good!" the leader grinned before looking at the crowd of frightened people. "Alright! Here's what's gonna happen! You're going to give us your cash, and we won't kill ya! Sound fair?"

"You heard the man!" said one of the grunts as he and his partner opened up their empty bags to the people in the seats. "Cough it up!"

"That's enough."

Everyone turned to see King stand up, his cap removed, and the 'King's Engine' roaring to life.

"Oh shit! It's King!" one of the grunts yelped in horror.

"Its King!" a woman shouted in joy.

"We're saved!"

"Get these guys!"

"I SURRENDER!" yelled the grunts while throwing their hands up, leaving their leader on his own.

'Are you freaking kidding me?! A Class S hero was on this bus?! And KING of all people?!' the leader thought while swallowing the lump in his throat.

"I'm only going to say this once. Drop the gun and surrender, or else." King warned in a calm voice, his heart thumping up a storm. The man was trembling like a leaf as his grip on the weapon began to falter. By the time the man remembered where he was, his gun was now in King's hands, leaving the poor robber completely defenseless. He could only stare at the Class S hero before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell backwards, out cold before he hit the floor. "That works."

-Later-

After the robbers were taken into police custody and the crowd finished heaping their praise onto King, the trio now found themselves searching for the child's mother once again.

"You're amazing, Mr. King!" Mika said while dancing around King. "You didn't even have to throw a punch to beat those bad guys!"

"He sure is." Eyonae smiled under her cap. 'Still, was intimidation all it took for him to become a Class S despite being so weak?' she thought to herself as they walked.

"MIKA!"

"Huh?" Everyone turned to see a woman with light hair running towards the group, tears in her eyes.

"MOMMY!" Mika cried out as she ran towards the woman before being scooped up into a hug. "MOMMY!"

"Oh, Mika! I was so worried!" the woman cried out before looking at her with stern eyes full of tears. "Why'd you get off the train before it left?!"

"I'm sorry!" the child apologized. "I forget Nibbles on the bench and ran to get her, but then the doors shut before I could get back on." The woman could only sigh before hugging her daughter again. She then looked up and gasped at the sight of King standing next to Eyonae.

"Are you King?" the woman asked.

"Indeed." King answered with a smile. "And you must be Mika's mother, I take it?"

"Yes, I am. Thank you for watching out for my daughter." the woman said with a bow. King could only shake his head at that.

"I can't take all the credit." he said before placing a hand on Eyonae's shoulder. "If my friend here hadn't of gotten that crowd to settle down, I wouldn't have noticed." The woman smiled before bowing at Eyonae.

"Thank you." she said, which Eyonae averted her gaze under her cap.

"It was nothing." Eyonae said.

"She's a little shy." King smirked, prompting Eyonae to growl at him.

"Here." All three adults turned to the little girl holding her stuffed rabbit up to Eyonae, a wide smile on her face. "You said that grew up without parents. You must've been really lonely growing up. Nibbles always helped me when I was feeling lonely. Now she can be your friend and chase away the loneliness anytime!" Eyonae could only stare at the stuffed toy for a few moments before slowly bringing her hands around Nibbles. The child let go before she and her mother said their goodbyes and walked off, leaving King and Eyonae alone.

"Well, the day's still young. Got anywhere you wish to go?" King asked. Nothing but silence came. "You hear me?" he asked as he looked at her.

"I'm calling it a day." she said in a quiet before disappearing. King just stared at the empty spot with wide eyes before pulling his phone out and dialing.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Saitama."

"Oh, hey King. Something up? Or do you just want to kick my ass in another game?" Saitama finished with what could only be a scowl on the other end of the line.

"Nah. Actually, I just got through with being Eyonae's escort today."

"Really? They asked you?"

"Yeah. She just left for her ship. Call it a hunch..." King said before pausing, his mind going back to Eyonae moments before she took off. Her trembling form and single big tear coming out from under her cap playing through his head. "But I think that Eyonae may be a good person."

A/N: I cried a bit writing this. I'm an emotional mess sometimes.
