2:17 PM
While carrying Touma in his cape, Saitama screeched to a halt in front of the heroes with the addition of another samurai.
"...You have your roles. Now disperse," Stiyl said.
Like well trained soldiers in a cadence the rest of the group simultaneously jumped towards the Terror Hopper that was still hopping on one foot.
"Uh, who are you? And what the plan?" Saitama questioned.
"That rabbit seems to deflect physical attacks like it's made of rubber and simple bladed attacks are useless. And I suspect that eye can see in any direction at once. We need something to distract it while we attack it and the user with either magic or energy attacks. But that's all a ruse. The real plan is getting that boy to touch it. As you probably already know, his right hand cancels magic. If we destroy the rabbit, defeating Abicus should be a sinch."
"Ah. Sounds simple enough."
"Simple doesn't mean easy."
Touma groaned.
"Hey Touma. You alright there?"
"More or less. But that's the least of our problems. Just get me close enough. All I need to end this is one punch."
Saitama felt a fire inside of him he hadn't felt in a long time. He put on an optimistic smile.
(A boy after my own heart.)
"Alright then. Let's fuck some face."
Genos, burned quite a bit, landed next to Saitama.
"Sensei, what's the plan?"
"I'm not explaining this shit again," Stiyl complained as he waved at the other side of the long street he is on. "You tell him."
Speed-o'-Sound Sonic slid to a stop in a fairly damaged side of Academy City.
"Tch. I can't believe I'm stuck babysitting your useless ass."
"That's a funny way of saying 'you're welcome' considering I was the one that stopped that thing from possibly destroying the city."
"Hpm. You've got a mouth on you. I like that."
"...Don't make this weird."
"Dammit, I don't see any place safe that I could possibly drop you off."
A thick lightning bolt shaped like some sort of ancient dog headed directly towards Speed-o'-Sound Sonic. He only noticed when it was three feet away from him. Unfortunately, lightning beats sound. Had he seen it from a further distance he might have been able to dodge it. But it was too close to him.
His pupils shrank.
(Shit...I shouldn't have stopped running.)
To his surprise, something suddenly appeared in front of him, absorbing all of the electricity in a loud roar. Sparks began flowing into the air making the street lights flicker on and off.
Reminiscent of a certain golden haired teenager from another story, Mikoto Misaka's hair stood up perfectly as she was enveloped with several flickering blue sparks.
Kuroko fell onto the ground and shielded her eyes with her right arm
"Sissy, I know you shine brighter than any star in the universe but this is ridiculous!"
Mikoto turned around to look at her emotionally exhausting friend with a light smile. She look up as something caught her eye. Accelerator looked to the side.
"Kuroko, go over to that red haired guy. He's waving at you."
"Yes ma'am! *FWISH!*"
Mikoto turned back around.
"...This changes nothing."
She wasn't looking at him but Accelerator knew she was referring to him. He knew he was directly responsible for giving her immensely painful memories. But now was not the time to deal with that.
"Tch. Like I give a damn."
And so Accelerator lied.
*FWISH!*
Kuroko reappeared with Genos and then placed a hand on Speed-o'-Sound Sonic's shoulder.
"You're needed. And sissy, let it rip! Don't hold back! *FWISH!*"
Genos leaned back slightly and puts his arms together. A complex series of cannons in various sizes protruded from of them.
"If physical attacks won't work then I'll just use raw electricity. Feel like lending me a hand Mr. Robot?"
"I can lend you two, Ms. Misaka."
Abicus chuckled. The flames on the rabbit's foot stopped. A thick mist was expelled from it's mouth as it exhaled. Using Odin's Eye he saw that his foes were conjuring some sort of two pronged attack. Behind him, he noticed Kuroko teleporting away but made nothing of it. Because of her job, he was weary that she would try to apprehend rather than kill him so she wouldn't do anything lethal. And if she teleported onto the rabbit for close quarters combat, he could simply have it hop into the sky and deliver another devastating blow to the city. She must have known that too hence why she hasn't made a direct move on him in all this time.
In front of him he saw Genos aiming his arm cannon at him.
(Like that's gonna work. I could just jump out of the...)
Suddenly, the rabbit cocked its head back and roared with a foaming mouth. Abicus' arms swung back wildly as he struggles to maintain equilibrium.
"What?!"
He stomped his way to the tip of the head and peered down. Four street lights are lodged into the center of each foot, connecting it to the street. He could see a pig tailed girl winking in a flamboyant pose as if she were a member magical girl that's popular with children.
(Fucking teleporter. Fine, I'll do this the hard waaaaaay?!)
Fire shot up from the rabbit's stomach and past its head. Abicus stepped back, narrowly avoiding it.
"The shit?!"
From a far, Speed-o'-Sound Sonic shuffled a rune card between his fingers as he leaned on a yield sign.
"Now!" Mikoto yelled.
"Incinerate!" Genos shouts.
Genos shot a wide burst of fire. Mikoto then thrusts her right hands forward and out shoots a large radius of electricity. The electricity wrapped itself around the flame creating a spiraling effect. To top it off, literally, the electricity took the shape a roaring dragon at the head of the orange blast.
Genos would have named it the combined attack Electric Dragon's Incinerate.
The blast slammed into the rabbit's stomach.
"Yes!" Mikoto said as she pumped her fist. "We nailed him!"
"?! Not quite!"
The blast sunk into the belly of the rabbit. Normally, this would obliterate anything it its path but instead, the rabbit's spine extends several meters like a cartoon character getting shot in the stomach with a cannon.
Abicus smiled widely with his hands on his hips.
The combined attack was launched at an angle a few meters over Genos and Mikoto. Since it was aimed up at the rabbit's stomach from a position lower than it, the attack was sent up. It traveled until it dispersed in the atmosphere. From space, it would have looked like a shooting star leaving Earth.
"N-no way…" Mikoto whispered with her pupils dilated. An agonizing feeling erupted in her stomach as she remembered how easily Accelerator reflected her attack after slaughtering one of her sisters. For a moment, she was utterly paralyzed. Not because of how close she came to death. But because she was rendered useless yet again.
Abicus leisurely scratched the bottom of his chin.
(Nice try but the electricity screwed you over. Rubber is an insulator of electricity. Since the front of the attack was wrapped in electricity, it simply a matter of holding it in place and quite literally bouncing it off with my Rubiosa spell. If it was purely a flame attack, ol' girl here would have been burned to a crisp but you two just had to get all Super Sentai on me. Sucks for you. You may as well have thrown a giant rock. Now, I need to think of a better strategy. If I just jump really high, they're just gonna throw the kid at me and that's just ruin everything. Plus, there's that teleporter girl who spoils everything…)
Abicus was distracted by a glimmering light out of the corner of his eyes. A faint blue diagonal line was headed towards him.
"Misdirection."
He flung his wand without looking and sends the slash whence it came. Kanzaki threw her upper body backwards narrowly avoiding being hit by her own attack. She then does a backflip before landing a few feet in front of Abicus. She kicked off her right foot, closing the gap between them in seconds and swung her two meter long sword, the Shichiten Shichitou, up towards the sinister magician.
Abicus flicked his wand to block it and formed an orange sparks and a loud clanking sound. He pressed against it using his right palm. Kanzaki dragged her blade up, sending Abicus sliding several feet back. He slid across the spine of the massive rabbit for a few seconds.
"Gale Wi…"
Abicus ducked, quickly avoiding a horizontal cut from Atomic Samurai that came from behind. He flipped twice to the side to gain some distance. He rubbed the wand with his hand which turned it into a sabre.
"Dammit…!"
He raised his right sleeve and another sword slid out of it. He pointed one sword at Atomic Samurai and held the other out in front of him at a diagonal angle. Kanzaki dashed from the right and clashed with Abicus yet again. He turned his body to avoid the full weight of the attack and raised his right arm to parry a diagonal slice from Atomic Samurai. With swift and fluid acrobatic movements the three danced around each other as bright white sparks flew mixed in with the sound of metal clashing.
Kanzaki whipped her blade horizontally. Abicus parried it with a low hop with his stomach parallel to the rabbit's spine to avoid a cut from Atomic Samurai aimed at his legs. He blocked Kanzaki's strike with the sword in his right hand but it shattered. Then, the tip of his left sword stretched, slashing Atomic Samurai in the left cheek with barely enough time to arch his head out of the way.
Abicus quickly back peddled while turning his sword back into a wand. It had become apparent he was out matched in a sword battle here. Kanzaki sheathed her sword much to the surprise of her aly and foe. Nonetheless, Abicus tapped himself on the shoulder as sword wielders closed in.
"Rubios-oof!"
He found himself awkwardly wrapped in several strong wires. His arm is pushed into his face at an awkward angle.
"It's over!" Kanzaki shouted as she pulled her lightly clenched her palms causing a massive shock all over Abicus' body with her wires called Nanasen. "Surrender now and we will apprehend you peacefully!"
"Tch, says you gorgeous, " Atomic Samurai snickered with a smirk.
The wires hugged Abicus tightly creating visible dents on his skin. Kanzaki squinted as she tightened her grip by slowly closing her palms and pulling her arms back. Even though they were authorized to kill Abicus and in spite of the monstrosity he took part in moments ago, she still believed that killing him wasn't the best option. Granted, there's no doubt that he murdered a possibly a few hundred with the black hole he summoned. She still held a fiery hatred for him because of the nature of his crimes. The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she felt.
Then she thought again about how this one perverted old man nearly destroyed civilization in the name of female underwear.
An immense anger erupted from within her as she scowled at her prey. She had never felt such an intense feeling for anyone up to that point. Even though she just said that she would offer him a second chance she then secretly hoped he would reject it. There was enough scum freely roaming the planet. It wasn't the most lady like of jobs but she became more than willing to dispose of this trash.
Abicus didn't respond in the few seconds he was given to speak. Kanzaki took that as his answer.
"So be it."
She yanked her arms back as hard as she could. As the strong wire sunk into his flesh at several uneven intervals, he turned into a flock of white birds and scattered into the sky.
"What?!"
"The hell?!"
The birds flew back down and flocked around the two sword wielders as their backs faced each other. Waves of feathers rained upon them. A stray feather slowly descended upon the distracted Kanzaki's chest and sliced right through the front of her t-shirt with a loud rip. She yelped and quickly grabbed both ends of the shirt before revealing the once in a lifetime sight of her legendary Saintly cleavage. Her face glowed bright pink out of embarrassment and could not tell whether she was more angry or embarrassed. She silently thanked God that her allies, namely Touma Kamijou, were not around to witness her at the moment.
As if he had a built in breast detecting radar, Atomic Samurai turned around with a serious look.
"What was that?"
"N-nothing! Worry about yourself!"
"Hmm…"
Atomic Samurai sniffed two or three times.
"85...no, 120.48… I might be off by a bit…"
"What the hell could you possibly be talking about?!"
"Your bust size in centimeters. I'm usually much more accurate than this but it's like there's some magical disturbance or something interfering."
"You fucking scum!"
At that moment, Kanzaki was truly confused about who her real opponent was.
While she tightly squeezed the vest of her sleeve, she whipped her arm into the air and waved it in a circular motion several times. Several of the were slashed by the steel hard wires and joined with their kin. Some of them fanned out to avoid caught in the web.
One of the birds that was about two meters in front of Kanzaki morphed into Abicus who thrusted his palms at her. His intention was to limit her movements so he could as he mount an unavoidable sneak attack. While the feathers were more of distraction than anything, Atomic Samurai's lewd remark about Kanzaki aided in diverting her attention.
He didn't know his but Kanzaki's style of dressing was a form of magic that helped her maintain the balance needed to make swift movements. This was necessary in order to move at the speed of sound she was granted due to her Saintly body. That is to say she was one of the few people born into the world that had the same magical properties as the Son of God. This gave her access to spells exclusive to her kind in and prevented her from using lesser tier magic. Basically, she was like an RPG which normally couldn't use bullets. It was a simple plan but it worked out much better than he anticipated.
"Chidori! One-thousand Birds!"
Several white birds fly out of his sleeves and scatter in an area making it impossible for Kanzaki who was unable to do anything. She felt her pride weaken as she, one of the most powerful people on her planet, was easily outwitted by such a perverted tactic.
Just as her hope wanned, Kanzaki heard wind being sliced.
"Atomic Slash!"
In a flurry of arm movements faster than she's ever seen, Atomic Samurai effortlessly performed possibly hundreds of thousands of cuts in every direction. Every bird that came his way was cleaved in two and turned into dust. She might have only heard about this once or twice from her Tsuchimikado but she imagines that the scene before her would fit in perfectly in those anime or video games kids enjoyed.
"Hmph. I knew you were trying to distract us so you could find an opening for sneak attack. So I distracted you with a distraction of my own. Too bad you didn't factor in my speed into your equation. You don't get to be this high ranked by falling for amateurish plans."
Kanzaki's heart sunk a little bit after hearing that comment.
"No offense to you miss…?"
"Just...shut up and cut."
"That's a funny name. Maybe you can tell me where that's from later on over dinner."
"Are you...are you asking me out on a date?! Now of all times?!"
"So is that a yes or…"
"Hell noooooooo!"
Kanzaki may have been exhausted by this man's sheer audacity but his insane skill and gumption were out of this world. It was like he was some sort of comic book character or something.
I mean, yeah no shit but Kanzaki didn't know that.
During the barrage their footing moved forward nearly making them lose their balance. The rabbit slammed its head into the street which created an explosion of dust and fragments. Atomic Samurai and Kanzaki jumped into the air before they were completely upside down.
Abicus waved his wand at the street lights, lifting them out of the rabbit's feet. In response, it turned around much quicker than its size indicated it could and slashed Kanzaki into Atomic Samurai with the back of its left paw taking full advantage of the force generated from whipping its body 360 degrees. They soared through the air like a bullet into a business building several miles away, forming a dent that destroys every window on that side.
Odin's Eye moved several meters above the rabbit. Through that, he saw Genos above him with his leg up to his head. He tapped himself on the shoulder with his wand.
"Rubiosa!"
Genos delivered an axe kick which knocked Abicus down into the street. Even though his body took on the properties of rubber, a crater with a large diameter spilling into the sidewalks formed as he made impact. His body spun as he ricocheted. Genos then cocked his fist back as several small rockets sprung from his elbow, forearm and shoulder. He threw (not literally) a devastating punch. A massive shock wave cracked all of the surrounding buildings. Mikoto screamed as she is knocked to the ground by the shock. Abicus' neck stretched as his head flies several feet, his body following. His head whips back to his body which sends it in a spin before he stops himself in midair.
As Genos fell to the ground, he saw a giant, balled up white paw heading towards him. He put his arms up to block it but was knocked into the air with a loud thud. His dislocated right arm shot sparks as it dangled in the air. Using rockets from his back and left hand he managed to decrease the amount of miles he was launched and quickly propelled himself back towards the rabbit.
With one more powerful thrust from his left palm rocket, he launched himself forward. He cocked his left arm back and squeezed it. The rabbit swung up its right arm intending to clash. Genos instead punched the base of the fist and rolled onto it before boosting across the arm. He jumped into the air to and created a massive ball of fire in his left palm.
Abicus swooped in at high speed standing directly where Genos was aiming. Genos didn't intend to lure him out but would gladly kill two birds with one stone. Genos thrust his palm downwards. The two made eye contact. Abicus looked up with a surprisingly calm smile.
"Incinerate!"
Abicus raised his wand.
"Misdirection."
But to his surprise, Genos didn't aim his attack at him. In fact, he didn't aim at him at al. Instead he swung his arm behind him at an angle and dashed, landing about a meter to the left of Abicus. The magician was stunned due to the shock of the attack. That slight delay gave Genos enough time to close the gap.
Abicus' swung his stomach to the right to avoid what would have been a devastating straight jab. In retaliation, Genos spun around and threw a back kick. Abicus brought his arm down to block but was pointless. Genos' mechanical leg shattered his right humerus and sent him spiraling down the street into the rabbit's leg.
Before he had time to write in pain, Genos dashed down the street. Abicus pulled against the rabbit's fur to cover himself. Genos paid him no mind. Instead of trying attack him, he jumped in the air and threw a rocket propelled upper slap to the massive rabbit's chin. He didn't throw that much force into it since he remembered that it had rubber properties. Instead, he let the fire do its work.
The bottom of the rabbit's chin was scorched and it stumbled back with a roar. But as he was landing, Genos was hit by a thick, dog shaped lightning bolt. His spine arched as several orange sparks and tiny explosions engulfed him. Abicus hopped back as the damaged cyborg fell in front of him. He destroyed a radius of cement upon landing.
His left hand was bent entirely back and nearly every hair on the top of his head was singed.
"Valiant effort cyborg. But not good enough."
To his surprise, Genos weakly grabbed his right foot. It spasmed as he struggled to slowly to lift himself up.
"My my, what spunk we have! But honestly, it's really annoying. So…"
Abicus leaned over and tapped Genos with the tip of his wand. A massive surge of electricity rattled his body, causing him to spasm several times. The electricity spreads across the rabbit's body.
"Alakazheemo, alakazhingo."
With his head facing down, Genos' body floated lifelessly in front of Abicus. He moved his head up and could barely keep his eyes open as he stared at the magician's menacing grin. Abicus waved his wand behind himself using only his fingers.
"Be gone."
While being unable to fight back, Genos was propelled at high speed in an arc.
Saitama held Touma atop of a four story building.
"You know, we could have had Kuroko just teleport us to the rabbit," Touma sayid.
A drop of sweat appeared on the side of Saitama's head.
"She went around the rabbit a few times. I'm pretty sure she would have had no problem just teleporting me on to it."
"No. His eye thing would have seen you coming!"
"It wouldn't matter! It's not like he can react fast enough to teleportation!"
"You don't know that! He's a magician! They notoriously have tricks up their sleeves!"
"Admit it! You just got carried away trying to look cool when you jumped off after explaining to the plan to your robot friend!"
"..."
As Saitama contemplated a comeback, a mass flew past the two. Saitama turned his head to see what it was.
"...Genos?"
Genos crashed a few feet behind where Stiyl, Kuroko and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic stood. They turned around in shock.
"The hell?" Stiyl said.
Saitama landed next to Stiyl with a crash.
"Yo red. He smashed up my homie. That's not cool." Saitama said with a particularly serious expression.
"The hell are you doing? You need to stay out of sight for as long as possible for this plan to work!"
"Your plan BLOWS!" Saitama shouted as he pointed at his smashed up friend.
Atop of the rabbit's head, Abicus adjusted his hat while staring at himself in front of a mirror that floated in front of him.
Down below, Mikoto slowly stood up and clenched her fist. A mass of electricity surrounds her emitting a blue light. All the dust in the air raised in a spiral around her. She ran up the side of a building sticking to it using magnetism. When she got close enough to the rabbit's head, she jumped and shot electricity to a point next to Abicus' feet.
"Hhrgaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"
Abicus turned around. In Mikoto's hands was a massive black sword with a blade extending fifteen feet in length and two feet in width. Of course, the hilt was thin enough for her to hold.
"Hmm… that could be a problem."
Abicus kicked off his left foot, gliding across the top of the rabbit's head. He stopped right in front of Mikoto so he can look her in the eye.
"Misdirection."
"Ahhh!"
Mikoto released a high pitched scream as Abicus' wand sinks into her stomach. She flipped over him and her body twirled for several meters.
"Hmm… that could be a problem."
Abicus kicked off his left foot, gliding across the top of the rabbit's head. He stopped right in front of Mikoto so he can look her in the eye.
"Misdirection."
"Ahhh!"
Mikoto released a high pitched scream as Abicus' wand sunk into her stomach. She flipped over him and her body twirled for several meters.
*FWISH!* *FWISH!* *FWISH!*
"SISSY!"
While appearing as if she were running in mid air, Kuroko caught Mikoto and quickly teleported back to her position with the rest of the group. She gently laid Mikoto on the ground as she curls up her body, holding her stomach.
"Tch!" Stiyl clicked his teeth.
"Any more bright ideas?!" Saitama shouted.
Speed-o'-Sound Sonic pulled out a several shuriken and held them between his fingers.
Abicus pointed his wand up.
"Fifty-two-"
A bullet bounced off his right cheek. He swung his head and saw Child Emperor standing on a building to his right with a pistol attached to a mechanical limb protruding from his backpack. He had the look of a child who was caught getting extra snacks before bed time.
"Huh. Forgot that you could do that…"
(SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT. How could I forget he could make himself rubber? And I just saw it too!)
Abicus clenched his right fist. A vein pulsated on the side of his forehead and complemented his smile that completed his tranquil fury.
(Sneaky bastard must have been moving around during all of that chaos. Making me forget he was even there. Fucking brat.)
The rabbit quickly punched the building Child Emperor was standing on, sending him flying in the air with several fragments of cement and marble. Abicus then whipped his wand diagonally.
"Fifty-two Drop Down!"
Fifty-two playing cards lined up in rows, completely obscuring the rabbit.
Kuroko gasped.
Child Emperor bounced of the building fragments using his mechanical limbs. Several RPGs, hand guns,blades varying from a machete to a katana and a hammer emerged from his backpack. A scouter like device covered his left eye.
(I'll blind him with a smoke screen by missing on purpose. Then I'll assault him with a barrage of cuts.)
Before he could even act on his plan, dread sank into Child Emperor's heart as he stared at the street.
"Incoming!" Saitama yelled.
"No!" Kuroko shouted back. "It's a set up! You have too-"
A giant silhouette blocked the sun. The rabbit's enormous white paw swung towards the street. Stiyl managed to jump away to avoid being crushed but was knocked into the window of a building by the shockwave. Speed-o'-Sound Sonic turned around and outran the shockwave.
However, the shockwave catapulted Saitama into the air. Touma screamed as he was several feet above the ground than recommended by your local physicist. Dust and fragments from the shattered street rose with them.
"OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~..."
Saitama picked his nose with his pinky.
"Relax kid. Now. BRACE YOURSELF!
"WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Saitama turned around and raised Touma on his right hand like a javelin. Touma wrapped himself around his arm like a cat afraid of falling from a tree. But before Saitama did something that would have made many people very sad, the dust was blown away by Puri-Puri Prisoner rotating his arms at high speed.
"WAIT SAITAMA!" Bang shouted.
"Ah?"
Saitama landed next to him and stares at him with a confused look.
Bang then pointed somewhere at the sky to which Saitama diverted his gaze.
A moment before, the rabbit was but a few meters away from them. For some reason, he was several thousands of miles in the sky, nothing but a spiral of fire and electricity.
"How does he keep doing that…"
Saitama began to ask a question out loud to no one in particular before coming to a sudden realization. However, Kuroko who was nearby answered before him since nobody else knew either.
"He teleports by blocking someone's view of him with a foreign object. He's not a true teleporter."
"And he used the dust to block my vision just now…"
"But he's not all powerful. Even though he's high enough to have already collected enough kinetic energy to decimate the city and possibly cause tidal waves all over Japan, he can't suddenly teleport a few feet from the ground for the same effect, otherwise he would have done so already. And he's using that eye over there to make sure we do something that blocks our view of him so move somewhere that blocks obscures our view of him and perform an unblockable attack."
"It doesn't take a genius to realize that's gonna destroy the city," Child Emperor said as he made his way towards the group. "And maybe sink the rest of Tokyo too! At the speed he's falling, you only have thirty three seconds until impact!"
Fear was practically felt in the air.
"Kuroko," Touma said looking at the pig tailed girl. "Get on Caped Baldy's back. My right hand would cancel your ability. You need to teleport as far as you can with each step. They can't teleport if we're really far away from them. Combined with Saitama's running speed, you should be able to get underneath the rabbit in a few seconds. Even if you beat us there, Saitama, just punch it right back up. Go, now!"
Saitama set Touma down so that he stood on both feet.
Kuroko lightly set Mikoto's head on the pavement.
"R-right! *FWISH!*"
Kuroko teleported to Saitama's back who positions her slender legs under his armpits. She then grabbed his shoulders and teleported them about 76 meters forward. From there, Saitama went kicked off into a full speed sprint. The two were out of a human's recognizable sight in just under three seconds.
"And Sonic. You need to get me right underneath the rabbit as fast as you can. Even if
you beat Saitama there, I should be able to destroy the rabbit with my right hand."
Speed-o'-Sound Sonic knelt. Touma got on his back the same way Kuroko did. After properly securing him, Speed-o'-Sound Sonic flickered out of sight leaving a massive gust of wind in their wake.
Kuroko's maximum range for teleportation was exactly 81.5 meters, or 267.39 feet. Combined with the momentary distance covered by Saitama's top speed sprinting during the second intervals between Kuroko's teleportation, the two were able to reach the spot where the rabbit is slated to touchdown in six seconds.
The same couldn't be said for Speed-o'-Sound Sonic. At his top speed of 768 mph, he would not be able reach his the destination in time.
"Shoot…" Kuroko said silently after looking up then looking behind her. "It looks like they won't make it in time…"
"Then looks like I'll just have to punch it into the sun…"
"NO! If you knock it out of sight, he'll just teleport somewhere else!"
Saitama groaned impatiently.
"What other choice do we have?!"
The group of heroes from different dimensions stared at the bright orange rabbit as it nears the surface of Academy City.
"...15 seconds…" Child Emperor said silently.
Atomic Samurai and Kanzaki arrived carrying Fubuki and Tatsumaki respectively. Tatsumaki let herself off and Atomic Samurai, begrudgingly, set Fubuki down.
Tatsumaki walked next to Bang.
"Where's Saitama?"
Stiyl lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He looked into the sky and closed his eyes.
"Shouldering the fate of the world along with that boy. *Inhale* *sigh*"
"Heh." Puri-Puri Prisoner chuckled with a bitter smile. "This is a pretty shitty feeling you know? Getting thrown to the side like some side characters."
He clenched his right hand until it bled.
Bang heard sniffling. He cocked his head to his left.
"You bald bastard…*sniff*" Tatsumaki said quietly. "You better win or I'll kill you *sniff* sniff.*"
Bang lightly pet the top of her head.
"You must have faith young one. All hope is not lost."
While sitting on the ground, Mikoto observed Tatsumaki out of the corner of her eye. She suspected that Tatsumaki, as prideful as she seemed, didn't like to be seen in such a pitiful state. She wouldn't admit it but in an odd way, she can sympathise. Mikoto put her hands on her chest.
(Come on you idiot… save the day like you always do.)
On her right, Genos' unconscious body rested. Mikoto stared at it for a second, pondering if it was right to wake someone up only to make them witness to their doom.
(Nah…)
She places a finger out and electricity shoots out onto Genos' foot. His eyes glow and he immediately sits up.
"Sensei, there's a sale on produce this Sunday, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!..."
Genos looked around.
"Where is sensei?"
Mikoto pointed at the massive ball of fire several miles ahead of them. The environment was colored a bright red.
"Ah. I see. Then there is nothing to worry about."
Mikoto faintly smiled.
"Yeah… you're right."
A chorus of windows on several cars and buildings shattering erupted as Speed-o'-Sound Sonic dashed down the street at top speed.
(God fucking dammit, we're not gonna make it!) Touma complained as he peered ahead out of the corner of an eye. With his head resting on Speed-o'-Sound Sonic's back, he was protected by most of the air friction that was accumulated. His forearms, which were wrapped beneath Speed-o'-Sound Sonic's chest, felt like they were burning but most of the damage was prevented by what seemed to by the air friction working against Speed-o'-Sound Sonic's speed, causing a slight cooling effect. Nonetheless, it felt like being burned then having cold water splashed on the same spot.
It was true. Even at Sonic's top speed, he wasn't capable of covering such a distance in the allotted time. Speed-o'-Sound gritted his teeth, refusing to acknowledge such a fact.
(No… fuck that. I'm not losing to some big ass rabbit!)
A shockwave exploded and Touma's ears popped. He felt the wound in his stomach ache. Nevertheless, he tightened his grip.
(This is so gay… I'm gonna die looking gay as hell.)
Is this what fate holds in store for the heroes who have gathered today? Will their futures be swiped away from them by the all powerful entity known as death?
*FWISH!* *FWISH!* *FWISH!* *FWISH!*
A few miles ahead, Saitama was seen sprinting towards Speed-o'-Sound Sonic as Kuroko teleported him. All it took is a serious look from Saitama and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic understands his intention. Barely a fraction of second passed. They both skidded to a stop before crashing into each other.
"What are you do-?" Touma began but was interrupted as Saitama grabbed him by the collar. He then squats. After hooking his arm under Touma's left armpit and locking on to his ribs, Saitama darted into the air. The immense power from that jump creates many cracks on the street and blew Kuroko and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic away.
Abicus cackled maniacally as he held the base of his top hat with his right hand.
