Saitama's new world chapter 3
Saitama threw the first punch, hitting the caped man directly in the jaw and pushing him back a few feet. The man regained his balance and lunged toward Saitama in preparation for his next attack. Saitama then put his hand up as a sign to halt, to which the man slowed down and stopped in front of him. Although Saitama didn't know English quite well, he was still able ask:, " Name?", causing the caped man to stiffen and responded with, "They call me superman". Even though Saitama didn't completely understand the comment, he now knew the name of his adversary. Saitama nodded, and the two combatants resumed their battle by getting into a fighting stance once again.
Superman made the first move as the same lasers from before were sent in Saitama's direction, however Saitama quickly dodged them and allowed it to pass by and destroy a section of a small bus. Saitama reacted in an instant by suddenly appearing in front of superman and delivering a devastating attack to the center of superman's chest. Superman gasped as the air immediately left his lungs and he stumbled back all the while not taking his eyes off of his attacker. Saitama tried to act a second time, but superman ducked underneath his blow and sent a fist straight into Saitama's jaw. The force of the punch flung Saitama up in the air, and Superman took off after him, stopping just above his rising body. Superman then interlocked his hands and sent them down on Saitama's belly causing him to be forced back down into the ground.
Saitama quickly got up just in time to see Superman flying back down to him, parting the wind as he decended. Saitama looked at Superman's face and realized that his attack was going to be powerful, so Saitama prepared his attack as well. Saitama kneeled down and waited as Superman accelerated toward him with a clenched fist at the ready. Right before impact, Superman yelled and released the full force of his punch upon Saitama, who had muttered the words, "Serious Punch." The two fists collided, and the surrounding area quickly erupted in a flashy display of rocks and debris that seemed to surround the two men. The result of the impact sent a series of shock waves in every direction, causing some of the surrounding buildings to become unstable and crash in on themselves.
The two heroes were still wrestling for dominance over who would win this aggressive fight as each of them pushed back on the other's force. While the showy display of strength continued, Saitama looked over to his side and saw a little girl who was crying in the middle of a road. He then looked up and noticed that a portion of a building (from the earlier collision)had fallen off and was now going to fall on her. Saitama knew he had to hurry, so he grabbed Superman's cape and yanked it, causing Superman to slam into the base of a nearby building. Saitama then proceeded to start toward the child as the piece of concrete was nearing its target. Saitama got to the girl and hugged her close to his chest and hunched over, protecting her from harm as the object hit Saitama's back, breaking into two pieces.
Superman got up from the wreckage just in time to see Saitama try to save the girl. He continued to watch as the piece from the building landed on him and broke into two slabs of concrete. Saitama then stood up slowly, revealing an alive and unharmed girl, and smiled as her mother appeared, who was crying in appreciation that her daughter was safe. Superman quietly floated over to Saitama and landed behind him with a confused expression on his face. 'Why did this man save her', Superman wondered, 'He could've just as easily let her die.' He continued to wonder as Saitama turned around and looked at him with an expressionless face. The two stared at each other in complete silence, until someone yelled out, "Superman!" The two warriors then looked over to see flash followed by the woman before(Wonder Woman), a man in a green costume with a ring of the same color(Green Lantern), and an olive green man with a blue cape flowing behind him(Martian Manhunter).
The three characters stopped in front of the two, and the olive green - skinned man walked up to Saitama, staring intently at him. "Who are you?", Saitama asked, even though he knew they couldn't understand him. The man stared at him for a few more seconds before he lifted his hand and rested his palm on Saitama's forehead. Saitama didn't move, and he allowed the man to continue as the others stood around waiting. Suddenly, Saitama felt a jolt run through his head, and he looked up at the green man, with a somewhat confused expression. The man then backed away, "Can you understand us now?", he asked, as Saitama's eyes widened in awe. "Yes", Saitama replied, "...can you understand me?", he asked, eagerly waiting for a response. "Yes.", they all said in unison.
Saitama was relieved that he could talk with them, and he spent the next hour and a half gathering information about where he was and what was going on. He had the chance to get to talk to them and uncover some things about each of them. The woman, whom everyone referred to as Wonder Woman, was a part of a race of warriors known as the Amazons and was a very proud and confident fighter. The man in red, or the Flash, was a speedster who had a very quick-witted mind and tended to ramble a lot. The man who wore the red cape was known as Superman, and based on their fight alone, Saitama could tell he was strong. In fact Saitama wasn't 100% sure that he could've actually won. The final person that he met was a green skinned man with a blue cape, and went by the name of Martian Manhunter; he was supposedly an alien who was originally...well, from Mars.
As the group of heroes continued to talk, Superman decided to ask Saitama a question. "Where are you from, Saitama?", he asked. Saitama turned to him, wondering as to why he didn't ask this question earlier,... but whatever, "I've come from a seperate universe, or an alternate dimension, I think.." Saitama wasn't quite sure what the technical term was, but felt that it was the best answer he had.
As the sky started to darken, Saitama began to think about where he was going to stay and realized that he forgot his wallet. "Crap..", he stated as he searched frantically for it around his belt. Superman knew immediately what was going on, "hey..", he said, causing Saitama to look at him again, "You can come to my apartment if you need someplace to stay tonight." Saitama started to say something, but he stopped when he remembered that he had nowhere else to go. So, reluctantly, he agreed as Superman nodded in empathy.
Finally, after everyone finished talking, the two caped men left to get a goodnight sleep. When they entered the apartment, Superman showed Saitama to his room and left, allowing Saitama to get to bed. Saitama stayed up, however, wondering what the next day would bring. 'Today was interesting', he thought, 'I think….I think I might end up liking this place', he stated as he yawned and went to sleep.
