Saitama descended to the ground holding Touma in his arms. He set him down and even though he was conscious enough to stand, he stood motionless with his jaw dropped. In contrast, Saitama had on a faint smile as he put his fists on his hips triumphantly. A noise reminiscent of nails scratching a chalkboard escaped Touma's mouth. Blood was painted on their faces and upper torsos.

"Hey, that was actually kind of fun," Saitama said casually.

Touma quickly turned to him.

"FUN?! We just killed a man!"

"So? I kill people all the time. Then again, they're always some sort of maniac bent on some sort malice. Or they just fucked with me and that's not cool bro."

Touma put his hands on his cheeks.

"I can't believe it... I'm a murderer! This isn't gonna look good on my transcript. Hopefully, no authority figures were around… GAAAAAAAH, that's exactly what a delinquent would say! I'm no different from them…"

"Oh yeah, you are just a student so I suppose that's kind of bad."

"Kind of?"

"Well, it was to save lives so you're frosty."

"Don't try to relate to me by using hip lingo!"

"I'm not even that much older than you, dude."

"See?! There you go again."

"If you say so, chum."

"Wait… you were definitely the one that killed him! I'm no where near strong enough to burst a skull. I'm just a normal high school student,"

"Yeah but you helped. I wouldn't have been able to hurt him if you didn't cancel that rubber spell of his."

All of the color on Touma's face disappeared. Saitama put a hand on his shoulder.

"Congratulations kid. You're a hero of justice."

"Fuck that… I'm an accessory to murder."

"An accessory of justice."

Touma stared at Saitama with an annoyed expression. But their focus was turned to the loud thud that was Abicus' headless body hitting the pavement.

Kuroko appeared with Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.

"Congratulations you two," Kuroko began jubilantly. "That was amaze-OH MY LORD!"

The heroes of Academy City stared ahead in silence. No one even turned to the sound of Yoshikawa riding on a motorcycle with Accelerator hugging her waist and Last Order hugging his.

"...Justice!...Justice!...Justice!...Justice!"

Mumen Rider pedaled his damaged bike as fast as he could and arrived a few seconds later. He placed a foot on the ground to stop.

"Did… did we win? Is it over?"

"*Exhale* It would appear so," Stiyl said nonchalantly.

The group of heroes erupted in a cheers.

"That bastard did it again, *inhale.*"

"There was never any doubt," Kanzaki said with a smile.

"Heh," Accelerator chuckled as he smiled to himself as he got off the motor cycle. Last Order was attached to his lower torso like a backpack but he ignored her.

Yoshikawa smiled as she leaned forward on the motorcycle.

Mikoto rubbed her eyes with her right sleeve.

"I knew you could do it…" she silently said.

"There was never any doubt," Genos replied without looking at her.

"FUCK YEAH!" shouts Atomic Samurai.

"WE KICKED MARVELOUS ASS!" Puri-Puri Prisoner shouted as he pulled a nervous Atomic Samurai to his chest.

"SCREW YOU AND YOUR PERVERTED PARLOR TRICKS!" shouts Tatsumaki with a red face and tears falling from her eyes. Fubuki picked her up hugged her from behind with a few tears as well. Normally, they wouldn't be seen like this but the moment was a special one of relief so Tatsumaki decided to let it slide, telling herself she was too tired to fight back.

Bang had a satisfied smile.

"EAT A RAW BAG OF JUSTICE, BITCH!" shouted Mumen Rider.

The heroes from Z-City turned to face him, surprised at his gratuitous vulgarity. Stiyl turned to him with a serious expression.

"Hey. Watch your fucking mouth."

A second later, the entire group erupted in laughter. Yes, they might have been two groups of people with no history with each other but that did not matter. For the time being, they were brethren joined together by a victory that was only made possible by combining their forces.

They were interrupted by the arrival of Speed-o'-Sound Sonic and Kuroko.

"I could have gotten here myself," Speed-o'-Sound Sonic said with his arms crossed.

"Yeah, yeah…*FWISH!*"

Ten seconds later, a triumphant Saitama arrived, covered in blood from the torso up.

"Hey guys."

Ten seconds later, a visibly disturbed Touma arrived, also covered in blood. His eyes were unfocused and his head was arched up. He looked like he was falling asleep but too tired to close his eyes.

Ten seconds later, per Saitama's request, Kuroko tossed Abicus' body on the ground a few feet in front of her.

"Oh my God…" Mikoto said raising her hands to her mouth.

Accelerator covered a frightened Last Order's eyes with his hand.

Kuroko teleported next to Mikoto and hugs her, burying her head into her shoulder.

"Good job, sensei." Genos said while flashing a thumbs up with his broken thumb.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOOD JOB?! THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!"

Mikoto screamed, forcing Bang and Puri-Puri Prisoner to cover their ears.

"Oh. I see. In this universe, you must not be so used to completely obliterating your foes in a bloody mess."

"ANY UNIVERSE THAT DOES THAT IS SUPER SCREWED UP!"

"Oh, grow a stomach. He was a…" Tatsumaki put a finger on her chin before trailing off.

"He's uh…"

"A magician…?" Fubuki added.

"One of the most dangerous criminals to ever step foot into Z-City," Genos replied, bring an air of seriousness and tension about him. Everyone except Saitama, Kuroko, Mikoto, and Touma focused their attention on him with curiosity. Kanzaki hide behind Stiyl shivering like a cold puppy.

"A panty thief," Saitama said in a monotone.

And suddenly, the air of tension was dropped in a disappointed manner.

"Ew, gross," Puri-Puri Prisoner said.

"Yeah, according to Genos he would do some sort of act and then tap unsuspecting women somewhere and boom, he somehow steals their panties."

At the same time, Fubuki and Kanzaki hug each other tightly with tears welling up.

"Unheard of!" Kanzaki protested.

"Diiiiiiissssssssgusting," Atomic Samurai said. "Panties are a dime a dozen. A real man would go after vintage bras."

Bang nodded in agreement.

"The breasts are the unsung heroes of the female body. They're rocks protruding from the currents of a waterfall. Similar in appearance, yet subtly different, and formless in movement."

"Yeah, what he said. Say, I like the way you think old man."

"No, no, gentlemen," Kuroko intervened after she teleported in front of them. "The legs are often an underappreciated part of the female anatomy. Why, just the other day, I snuck a picture of my sissy's during our lunch break under the guise of me picking up my spoon."

"Remarkable," said Bang as he stroked his chin.

"Heh, that's pretty deceptive of you. Our ninja friend over there could stand to take a few notes," said Atomic Samurai pointing at Speed-o'-Sound Sonic with his thumb.

"Do not drag me into your bullshit. Besides, I would've done it in a much less conspicuous way."

"Oh?"

"Well for starters, dropping a spoon is too obvious of an excuse if you want to go unnoticed. You're trying to hide in plain sight and banking on either the naivete or trust of your target. While not a bad plan, it's too amateurish and a more experienced foe would immediately detect you."

As Kuroko began profusely typing on her electronic notepad, sparks rose from Misaka's bangs. Bang, Atomic Samurai, Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, and Mumen Rider all step out of the way and a bolt of electricity struck Kuroko in the center of her spine, causing her to bend at an uncomfortable angle. She flew for about a meter before rolled for a second before stopping on her stomach. Her blackened body twitched a limb occasionally. Mikoto rolled up her sleeves and walked over to her semiconscious friend.

"But sissy, these notes are purely for scientific research-UNF! ❤"

"Ah, how good it is to be young and full of energy," said Bang.

"You know, that electrokinetic reminds me of another of a certain ill tempered midget of an esper," said Atomic Samurai.

While being entertained by the joys of youth, Bang and Atomic Samurai notice a massive shadow casting overhead. They turn around to see half a broken building engulfed in a dim green. Beneath that was a car highlighted in a dim blue light. Tatsumaki and Fubuki look at the two men with soul piercingly angry looks.

"Don't think we didn't hear your perverted discussion. Our bodies aren't sex objects!"

"Yeah...well, ninja boy was in on it too. Hit him…"

Atomic Samurai turned his head to see that Speed-o'-Sound Sonic was nowhere to be seen.

"Hm… now ladies, let's be adults about this. It's not my fault I'm a healthy young ma-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the massive half of the building was slammed against the spot he was standing. However, it didn't smash into countless fragments but rather it was completely sliced to bits and pieces. Atomic Samurai has on a cocky smile.

"Let's not do anything we'll regret!"

"Regret?! Who's regretting what exactly?!"

"Fuck, let's cheese it old man!"

But Bang was already a few meters ahead of him. Atomic Samurai starred with his jaw hung open.

"You old bast-"

Atomic Samurai was assaulted from behind by a car thrown by Fubuki.

Stiyl watched the scene with an annoyed expression. However, it was not because he was bothered their behavior but rather because Speed-o'-Sound Sonic was back-to-back against him and peered around his arm as if he were some sort of wall.

"Be silent," he whispered.

Stiyl took the cigarette out of his mouth with his index and middle fingers.

"Be gone."

Child Emperor gave an exasperated sigh.

"This climax has entered into cliche anime territory."

He took off his backpack and unzipped it. He stuck a hand in it and rummaged it. After a few seconds, he pulled out the 8-Cube and tossed it on the ground, opening up a circular 2-dimensional rift revealing a section of Z-City.

"Let's get out of here before they make us all laugh at another corny joke as the camera zooms up to the sunny sky."

As Child Emperor began walking, he noticed Abicus' body twitch out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, it raised it's right arm holding his wand and tapped his still bleeding open neck. The puddle of blood started to shrink before his very eyes. Soon the rest of the group stared at the bizarre scene. As he sat up, his brain taking form again was vividly visible. After a few seconds, it was blocked off by a skull which was blocked off by tendons and muscles. Finally, Abicus' head was back to its previous form .

He cracked his jaw before jumping onto his feet.

"Don't think you can be rid of me that easily you squires and knaves! I,Abicus the Magnificent, have returrrrrned from my momentary slumber in what can only be described as my greatest show! Returning from the dead! Thaaaaaat's right, you cannot kill me! And now that that's been established, I will now explain my villainous plot in front of you all in my own hubris! First, I'm going to destroy the two dimensions using this mystically augmented saws! Then, I'm going to move on to the next dimension and usurp the highest powers with my abilities! And so on! Eventually, I'll be bound to find a universe where immortality has been discovered! I'll be an immortal deity with lifetimes worth of PANTIES! GWAAAAFWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

In spite of his ability to do everything he just described, nobody except for Mumen Rider and Last Order took him seriously. In fact, they just stared at him like he was a joke that has gone on for too long. Abicus extended his arms in front of himself and Oswald's Saws slipped out, the hilts sliding perfectly into his palms. He raised his arms and flung them back. The blood vessels in his eyes dilated, putting squiggly red lines in the corners of them. His face was enveloped in wrinkles as he put on the biggest smile he had up to that point that day.

"AND THERE'S NOT A DAMN THING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME! HAAAAHAA-"

Touma calmly, if disinterestedly, walked up to Abicus and touched the saw in his right hand with his own. A strange sound rang out. Abicus turned around to see the bored looking teenager staring at im. He looked at the saw. Then looked at Touma, repeating that pattern five or six times. He swung the saw to his side but instead of cutting into the fabric of reality, all it did was slice through air. Oswald's Saws weren't originally magical items. They were enchanted by having magic stolen from the tectonic plates of England, where magic is most abundant in the world, bestowed upon it. But without that power, they were just a regular pair of saws with crappy colorwork. Once they came into contact with Imagine Breaker, that magic simply returned to its original source, the ley lines, aka Earth's magical pipelines, in England. Touma cannot destroy the power of the planet as it would simply return to it as energy for the planet.

"...Well, it's a good thing these things come in pairs!"

As if waiting for him to finish that sentence, Touma stepped forward and touched the remaining saw with his right hand. Abicus' sight shifted back and forth between the saws five times.

"...Well, on their own, these still make for pretty dangerous weapons-"

As Abicus took a step forward and cocked back his arms, Saitama intercepted him with a light jab to the face removing his hat in the process. Abicus fell back with a loud thud, his bald scalp revealed. After a brief moment of looking at the serene blue sky, streams of tears rolled down his cheeks. His expression did not portray the grief his eyes expressed.

In a creaking voice that sounded like he was choking, Abicus said "I just wanted to sniff ladies underwear… *sniff* Is that so wrong?"

"Uh, yeah," Touma responded. "That's so wrong."

Mikoto scoffed.

"I can't believe someone would actually sacrifice two dimensions just to satisfy some sick perversion. You're really just some twisted old man, aren't you?"

"Don't presume you know me, girl."

"What? Are you gonna try and justify your inhumanity by some dark and troubled past?" cut in Touma.

Abicus lifted his head to look at Kamijou.

"No, I meant that I'm 23."

Aside from Stiyl choking on his cigarette and the wind blowing, there was total silence for a moment. Everyone joined for a simultaneous "...What?"

"B-b-but you look so old!" Touma said.

"You don't get to be this powerful without a little bit of stress. That is the only way for people to truly get stronger. Whether physically or mentally. I see that now. Of course, I'm not trying to romanticize my pain. Sometimes suffering is just suffering. And excess is never a good thing. In my thirst for power, I've gone over the edge, abandoning my humanity in the process."

A faint smile appeared on Abicus' lips.

"I truly am human garbage."

While there were mixed opinions about this sudden revelation, nobody spoke for some time. Kuroko teleported next to him and leaned forward.

"That doesn't change the fact that you've still committed countless atrocities with a disregard for other people's safety. It's good that you've shown remorse but simply saying you're sorry doesn't erase what you did. This isn't the kind of world where your crimes are easily forgiven by apologizing. In this world of random intersecting occurrences, the least we humans can do is demand fair treatment from each other."

A pair of handcuffs appeared in Kuroko's right hand.

"I'm sorry Abicus, but surely you understand. You can't escape judgement. You will be brought to justice."

Accelerator's eyes widened. He looked at Abicus then turned to Last Order with a biter expression.

"Last Order…point out the man that stole your panties…"

"Oh, you mean the bald one with a cape laying on his back while crying like a baby at his totally humiliating defeat? Misaka says as she points t the man she described."

"You mean the one with hair on his sides?"

Last Order put on a confused look. She looked at Abicus for a few seconds and then stared at Saitama. It did not take long for her to realize what Accelerator was mad about.

"'Wait, did you go after the wrong person by accident?' Misaka asks surprised at Accelerator's surprising error in judgement?"

Accelerator didn't answer.

"So did you end up going on a wild goose chase filled with zany hijinks and quirky characters wrapping you up in situations that go totally against your character, forcing you to grow a little as person asks Misaka in an attempt to bring out the best of the situation?"

"I attacked an innocent person. He could have died!"

"B-but but-wait. He doesn't seem all that hurt. There's barely a scratch on him and he seems in perfect health which is odd for someone you've attacked after a day. Is that a testament to how powerful he is or were you holding back? Misaka doesn't think you'd be the type to show restraint considering how much you wuuuuuve me says Misaka, subtly diffusing the situation by showing off her cute side by hugging herself and speaking in a cute voice."

"U-uh… Well, Misaka can see where you might have erred in you might have gone wrong b-b-but…"

"You said he was bald!"

"You didn't let Misaka finish speaking!"

"It wouldn't matter if you gave an accurate description!"

"Misaka was traumatized by the situation! How could you not remember that says Misaka as she stomps her little foot on the ground in a genuine display of anger!"

Accelerator's mouth dropped open. It was true, instead of actually hearing her out, Accelerator uncharacteristically acted upon a situation with finding out as much as he could before hand. Instead of letting her finish, he chose his lust for blood over the necessity of even finding the right person. Granted, it was a luxury that could have been afforded given how narrow the search was but had that caped bald man been someone else, he would have needlessly caused more violence towards someone for his own selfish reasons.

"Tch! Yeah, well maybe next time stay in one place next time we're out for food you damn brat!"

With that, Accelerator grinded his fists against the sides of Last Order's temples. Even though he was holding way back, the amount of force he applied was still enough to cause mild discomfort to a child.

"H-hey! Knock it off! Misaka doesn't like bullies so if you don't stop in the next five seconds, Misaka will hate you foreve-HAHAHEHA! Stop! That tickles!"

"You know, she actually has a point," added Yoshikawa from the motorcycle. "Knowing you, you probably attacked him with something that would just barely leave him alive under the pretense that he was a normal esper. You did that in order to both threaten him into stopping his string of crimes and give up Last Order's underwear."

Last Order turned to Yoshikawa with a red face and a frantic expression.

"Don't just say it so casually! Even Misaka has her dignity! Says Misaka shaking her fists at the disrespectful adult!"

Yoshikawa smiled and continued to speak while looking at Accelerator.

"You might have known about him through whatever means but you most likely assumed that he would make this a regular thing worst case scenario. So in a rare display of selflessness, you decided to be the hero for once by protecting the weak and ensuring peace to the masses. Only you didn't expect someone powerful enough to withstand your attacks which is strange. But you couldn't have possibly guessed that there'd be people from other universes within Academy City."

"No…"

"'No' what? Did I get something wrong."

"I wasn't a hero. All I did was act on impulse. I was only lucky things didn't spiral out of control. I just did what I wanted under some shitty pretense of justice."

A while back, Accelerator willingly slaughtered over 10,000 mass produced clones of the #3 just for the sake of being left alone. But was that really the best way of going about that In a world where selfishness runs rampant, you cannot be powerful without amassing antagonism. Eventually, the weak will try to overthrow you.

He never asked to be Academy City's strongest.

(That title truly is meaningless. I'll never understand what the big deal is over being the best. It's not like you can even be the best at anything anyway so what's the point?)

Accelerator never wanted to live in a world where he had to needlessly bring destruction.

(I guess I haven't really changed after all.)

"Did you not fight to protect Last Order?"

"..."

"Accelerator, you can try to play the martyr all you want but the fact still stands that you fought for something outside of yourself. I mean, I'm not advocating carnage, but what you did here today wasn't the result of some uncontrollable urge to cause malice. You just wanted to protect what precious to you."

"And Misaka is very thankful for the sentiment, says Misaka with an earnest smile as she looks up. Today, you were my hero. Misaka isn't mature enough to care about the specifics that don't affect her."

Accelerator didn't respond to that. Instead, he looked forward to the heroes before him seemingly goofing off. He wondered if he was truly worthy of standing on the same stage as them. People who made it their business to look out for the well being of others, not just for those close to them.

"Heh."

(Of course not.)

"What's funny? Asks Misaka. Are you laughing at my display of affection?! It's rude to disregard people's feelings like that! You'll damage my developmental state if this keeps up-"

"Shut up."

(I don't deserve to be on the same stage as them. But even so...)

Accelerator never wanted to live in a world where he had to needlessly bring destruction. What he wanted…

(...it's a start.)

Was acceptance.

Moments later, Abicus was tied up in a metal wires used in the interior of buildings. It was decided that he was too dangerous to leave even a little mobile. After all, a magician always has something up their sleeves. Puri-Puri Prisoner held him out in front of him like a dirty diaper. In spite of that, he looked at him with a devious smile.

"Don't get any ideas handsome. I'll be keeping my bulging eyeballs on you like white on glue. Very. Sticky. Glue."

Abicus looked at his hulking, naked, capture with dilated pupils. All the color left his face.

(There is no god) he silently proclaimed.

The deal was to have Puri-Puri Prisoner hold Abicus captive by himself. No one was to stand behind Puri-Puri Prisoner so Abicus had no means of teleportation via obscuring their view. Since he was a villain of Z-City, Kuroko thought it would be best for them to deal with him. However, he would still be taken in for question and possibly research purposes by Academy City's higher ups. Although Kuroko had no way of knowing the latter.

Mikoto looked around frantically. Kuroko took heed and looked at her.

"Sissy, is there something the matter?"

"Uh… no. It's nothing."

"You know that's the most obvious lie in the history of lies, right?"

Kuroko said this but at one point pulled of a bold face lie to protect her. She did not consider that before speaking though.

"Ah...really. Don't worry about it."

Mikoto put on a forced smile and waved her hands. Kuroko still got the sense that something was being hidden from her but she decided not to prod further.

"If you say so."

Suddenly, Mikoto's cell phone rang. She reached into her interior vest pocket and pulled it out. The caller ID indicated that it was a pay phone.

"I uh…"

"I understand."

"Thanks."

*FWISH!*

Even though Kuroko teleported away, Misaka put some distance between her and the rest of the group before pressing the talk button.

"Hello?"

"Misaka is calling to confirm her whereabouts."

"Whereabouts?! Where the hell were you?!"

"Misaka is not sure if you are thinking clearly but perhaps you can recall the inhaling sphere of destruction that almost caused certain doom for the city, says Misaka."

"...Oh...R-right. But what about the other sisters with you?"

"We were separated unfortunately but this Misaka can confirm the safety of her unit."

"*Sigh* That's good."

"It's unfortunate that we were not able to carry out our mission says Misak-"

"You don't have to get revenge."

"Misaka is confused."

"You don't have to do this. He might have issues. Like massive issues. But it's...it's not worth it."

"...Misaka was referring to the retrieval of the Misaka's stolen panties says Misaka."

"...Huh? Wait, wait, wait. What about all that crap you were talking about exacting your revenge?"

"Misaka was just being dramatic says Misaka. She doesn't take the opportunity to express herself with more extravision."

Mikoto squeezed the bridge of her nose with her fingers and sighed.

"Besides, even Misaka did originally plan to through with her roaring rampage of revenge, Big Sister is there. Misaka trusts that you will make the best decision."

(That's a dangerous amount of trust to put into someone.)

In spite of thinking that, Misaka thinly smiled to herself.

"Which reminds Misaka. You have not recovered the stolen panties yet."

Misaka eye's widened.

"There is a sister within the area but she is dealing with her own problems right now. Misaka would appreciate if Big Sister fulfilled the remains of her mission."

"Yeah, I'll get to that. Oh, wait, what design were they?"

"They were a pair of pink Gekota panties, size extra small."

"Right. See ya."

"Misaka takes the fact that your inaction indicates that you forgot about it. Misaka advises that you eat more fish since they have omega-3s which support brain development. That might prevent any future memory issues-"

"Good-bye."

*Click!*

(Wait... Extra small? The sisters have the same body proportions as me. Even if one of them lost weight, shrinking to that size is impossible… Maybe she was holding it for a friend? But she said it was a sister… so maybe it's a child she's just that close to? Bah. I'll ask her about it later.)

Mikoto walked over to Puri-Puri Prisoner who was licking his lips at Abicus, whose soul seemed to have left his body.

"Hey. Pervert."

"Yes?" Puri-Puri Prisoner replied.

"Not you. The thief. He's still got all those stolen panties."

"Oh, that's right," Abicus responded without turning around. "Would have been terrible if I just went to jail without even returning the things I stole. If you'll be so kind as to momentarily free me."

"You know we can't do that. Can't you just tell us where they are?"

"I mean, I could but that wouldn't really do you much good since it's in a place only I have access to."

"O...kay?"

"Going off a limb here," cut in Puri-Puri Prisoner. "But I take it they're not in your sleeves?"

"Uhh, no. They're in a place a little less… sanitary. Just turn me around. And young lady be pull."

"Huh?"

After clearing his throat a few times, Abicus proceeded to release a incredibly grating sound from his mouth. He shouted for an uncomfortably long ten seconds. Everyone present directed their attention to the grating noise with confusion and annoyance. After ten seconds a pair of panties slowly poked out of his mouth. He huffed and puffed for a few seconds.

"Okay…*sigh* gimmie a sec…*sigh* Just gotta…*sigh*...okay, here we…*sigh* go ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The panties slowly slid out of his mouth. But instead of falling to the ground, the end of it was tied to another pair.

"Alright…*sigh* now you can do the rest."

"I'm not touching those!"

"I thought we had…*sigh* a deal…"

"I'll do it," said Atomic Samurai and Bang as they ran over.

"...Uh, guys," Saitama said. "I have gloves you know..."

But the two perverted men already began pulling the chain of panties from the magician's mouth with their bare hands.

Touma witnessed the scene with a look of shock.

"You sure have some strange friends."

"Yeah but they're good company."

"So what's next for you guys?"

"That's official hero business."

"You don't know, do you?"

"No idea."

"...You shouldn't be proud of that."

Mumen Rider walked over to the group offering to take over pulling out the panties ut he was aggressively rejected by Bang and Atomic Samurai. The former was hit in the spine by a stop sign the was covered in a dim blue light while the latter received a drop kick from Kuroko.

"Whatever. The day was saved. Our friends made it out alright. That's all that really matters."

Touma smiled.

"Quit trying to act cool."

"Says the guy who cut class to help save the day."

"Heh… Somethings are more important than class-OH SHIT!"

"What?"

"My teacher's probably going to give me detention for leaving school in the middle of the day. And that's on top of the one from cursing in class while Ms. Komoe was talking. Curse my... rotten…"

"You teenagers. It's not the end of the world. You should know because you just prevented it. You'll be fine…"

*Thud!*

Saitama turned his head to see Touma laid out on the ground with his eyes barely focused.

"Oh shit, Touma!"

Saitama leaned down to observe his fallen friend. Everybody turned around upon hearing Saitama shout.

"What happened?" asked Mumen Rider.

"Was he hurt during the fight?" asked Bang.

"He was fine just a second ago!" shouted Kanzaki.

"Perhaps his adrenaline wore off?" said Genos.

"It's...!" said Mikoto but by then, Touma's hearing began to fail him.

As his vision began to fade, Touma stared at the serene blue sky. He noticed a massive circular gap in the clouds. Strangely enough, it brought him a sense of peace. The last thing he saw before passing out were the concerned gazes of Mikoto and Saitama.

"I'm sorry," said Stiyl with annoyance in his voice. "Can somebody get this hulking man some pants?"
