Month 3: Week 1: The Storm Part 1

The superfight tournament and the hospital: Genos group, Saitama, Charanko , Ojiro

B-city hero association hospital

Toru had once again come to visit ojiro in the hospital like she has done most mornings before her patrols for the past week he's been in there, from her he was able to gain a lot of information about what's been happening and going on with his fellow classmates. Momo had fully recovered from her surgery although the girl in question didn't really know how to access her new power that drive knight assured her that she should have which was one of the downsides of the procedures she guessed without awakening it naturally and with no actual visual indicator she didn't know what about her quirk actually changed. She also told him that his fight with Garou actually wasn't completely wasted on anything as those people that had been spreading rumors about them being in some sort of cahoots were being put to rest by the news. Which was at least somewhat comforting to hear. But that was just softening the blow of what she told him next which was apparently that Garou had assaulted one of the associations higher up during one of his rampages a couple of days ago and because of that the association was ramping up their protection for their executives.

Ojiro was somewhat confused as despite not knowing Garou very much if at all just by exchanging fists with the man he felt like something like that wasn't his style he wouldn't attack random businessman for the heck of it, he always only expressed hunting heroes as his major concern and toru informed him that todoroki offered that same sentiment when the association called him up to "guard" for that executive and his daughter again he was able to weasel his way out of guard duty but midoriya couldn't although unlike the half and half teen midoriya was to guard Natalie Ver. 9 the women that took the guys to picture almost a month ago.

toru in fact had brought the magazine that had them in it showing him all the pictures of their classmates inside. The two discussed a bit more, toru informed him that she was going out on patrol a bit more now with tokoyami and zombieman which did elevate his worry for the girl as he was stuck in the hospital. he only had one more day to actually go before he was at least cleared enough to leave and return home but they still wanted him to rest up for at least two more days before returning to his hero activities which he didn't quite mind too much although he felt pretty fine as is he understood the precaution.

Toru also remarked that they gave him a similar bone enhancement that they gave to midoriya and stitch recommended that all of their class should get it apparently it along with helping give the heroes of their world a small boost it also had small regenerative properties which ensured they heal from practically any wound barring a fatal one and be completely fine if given enough time to recuperate, so the class will likely accept that offer sooner or later as well, it wasn't what recovery girl could do for them but it was this world's best alternative for it.

Toru left later going out on patrol leaving with a peck on the lips and taking the magazine with her because she didn't want him doing anything "rambunctious" with the pictures of the girls in their swimsuits inside of it, ojiro countered that she is the only girl that he has eyes for which would have been endearing or he hopped but with the awkwardness of him having seen the girl naked before may have given off the wrong impression as the girl said nothing for several seconds before becoming flush with embarrassment and calling him a pervert as she left the room.

Ojiro just chuckled to himself and simply waited in the hospital until his next visitor arrived. He believed that the super fight tournament would be coming on soon and charanko said he wanted to watch it together. After another two hours of just flipping through the TV charanko came in as annoyed as ever. After asking what the problem was, apparently Saitama did not heed his advice at all from a couple of days ago when he told him not to try and impersonate him in the competition, in fact doing just that to get into the competition to win the prize money. Ojiro didn't know much about the man but he could definitely tell that it sure sounded like him if bakugo's angry rants about the hero constantly ending his hero work for the sake of a store sale were to be believed.

It also checked out that charanko wasn't able to convince him not to join up but ojiro having pointed out that if he really didn't want him to go up then he could have just told one of the administrators what was happening and the guilty look on his face told him more than he needed to know. The two had apparently come to a deal he knew saitama was strong so him representing him wouldn't really be a bad thing and given that it would have the added benefit of signal-boosting bang martial arts it would be a bonus and…..if he was the one that won the tournament it would be something to impress people with. The man started before murmuring down on the last bit.

Ojiro shook his head despite his progress he guessed that old habits still die hard but at least he realized he was doing wrong by allowing it, he also said that he would get half the grand prize if saitama won the entire thing so at least he was earning something tangible but their was one thing that he wasn't actually taking account for which was the fact that the other martial artist after losing to "him" in the tournament may want to try him again one day and what will he do then. Charanko's eyes widened in quick surprise and shock not even thinking about such a possibility but it was too late to go now as the tournament was starting on the TV, the show began with the announcer announcing the contestants the first one was kaminari senior he guessed lighting max the next was another person they knew of from the beach lin lin if he was to be believed, he spared with the girl previously and she was incredibly skilled even he couldn't get her bells to ring during their entire encounter with each other both mina and toru definitely made a spectacle of making it jingle during their time together. The next person was also familiar to ojiro as a scowl graced his face. It was those people that attacked the dojo that one day, that school was still around huh? He doubted he would get far in the tournament and he would be happy when he got smacked again by a real martial artist.

The next hero was the A-class hero snek, his fighting style fittingly snek bite fist, being an A-class hero he expected him to get pretty far, the next contestant was someone both of them were familiar with it was volten kamri's current teacher the former number one A-class hero he was also curios how far he would get. The next couple of martial artist he had no idea who they were but they seemed strong enough, nuclear fist bazuzu,Multi Hit Style gatlin, hamukichi of the school of gentle self defense, dave of the giant smothering killing technique, rosie of Psycho Analysis Martial Arts, choze of The Fist Of The Pure Blood Master Race, the school of spice fist mentai, Jakumen of Giga Pro Wrestling, Sourface of sourface style kemp, zakos of the Head First Rushing Style, and the third from last was finally charanko of the fist of water stream smashing fist, the real charanko was already lamenting the scene in front of him but the camera quickly shifted into the stands of genos clapping repeatedly for his master he was definitely loyal ojiro had to admit and sitting next to the hero was bakugo and todoroki as well.

The camera quickly panned towards the next contestant next which seemed to be one of the fan favorites to win although the man was looked feral in ojiro's opinion and the fact that he has actually killed opponents in the ring before only added to his cautious opinion of the man this bakuzan, he was actually surprised in the fact that although when give the title of his martial arts being the Dark Hell Assassination Art, the next was in complete juxtaposition to the previous contestant he gave of a friendly if not somewhat arrogant flow to him and he was clearly strong being able to win this tournament four times prior to the point where he was only their this time around to collect the prize money for the tournament like he was already a shoo in for victory despite his competition, ojiro was curious if the man could really back up that type of attitude.

Charanko was the one who let out an outburst when it was revealed that the champion of the previous year had made an appearance around the stadium but since he didn't reveal his face they didn't know if he was the actual champion or in fact the imposter that disguised himself as contestant, the wolf mask wearing person had apparently briefly talked to volten and max about something before he just left, the two just remarked that he had wanted their autographs for his little brother apparently for the newly released hero guide volume that just came out. Charanko hummed in thought of that questioning his prior outburst when ojiro asked why

he explained that he had previously watched over the previous tournament before the current so that he could "amaze" him with his insight on some of the repeat fighters of tournament but what bothered him after reviewing the tapes were that the winner and his fighting style it was unmistakable it was the water stream rock smashing fist combined with a similar build it was unmistakable that it had to be garou and after showing ojiro a video of the previous championship match he had to agree with his friends assessment but both doubted that he would how up their again with his current reputation and definitely not to get some autographs from the lightings.

With introduction out of the way the matches were about to begin! The first matchup was going to be between lighting max and lin lin, ojiro was interested in this match up curious how the hero was without his equipment and also how good lin lin was while he couldn't press her that much during the training he didn't feel like she was that much out of his league in terms of fighting so he assumed with that knowledge that max would likely win the match. He was so sure of this fact that he even placed a bid with charanko about it. His friend was much like mineta when it came to women he would almost always side or protect them if he had the chance and this time was no exception.

The bet was something small, only a couple thousand yen which made the match more intense for the both of them. Lin lin was the first one to make a move leaping high into the air falling down straight on top of max's head with a drop kick, the attack being so easily telegraphed was it's downfall as max sidestep the attack while raising a counter jab that struck the girl in the jaw snapping her head back and forcing her back to regain some semblance of sense from the strong blow but max wasn't going to give her that chance he easily made up the distance she tried to make and continued his attack with a sidekick the girl tried to put up some sort of defense but she was ill braced and the attack still snapped her off her feet.

she quickly caught her balance however and ojiro noted how her bells made a faint jingle as she did which suggest her unease with the situation. She came back at the hero with a multitude of palm strikes and punches but each and everyone one of them was either blocked or dodged completely by her opponent, max struck out again this time a punch to the gut making the girl flinch and fall back from the recoil, she attempted to put up another defense from a follow up strike but she had excepted another punch not the kick to her jaw that connected completely and knocked the girl completely off her feet and down on the ground where she lied there grimacing until the count was over and max won. The audience wasn't exactly happy about that fact and the announcer playing up the fact about him hitting a girl part of him felt bad for the hero, if aizawa was doing the announcing for the tournament he would probably say something similar to what he did when the audience made an uproar about bakugo fight against uraraka. Lin lin was a martial artist and she fully agreed to battle against other martial artist of any gender, to boo the person for winning was a major disrespect to her as a fighter but he guessed people didn't care about all that and this also somewhat applied to his friend although he was fairly sure he was just bitter about the bet.

The next up fight was "charanko" ojiro was curious about this saitama person being the supposed master of genos and even bang claiming him to be stronger than himself made him a rather interesting individual in his view but the way the man acted made you completely doubt him but maybe that was his goal make people underestimate him therefore he would be able to get the drop on them when the time came for a fight? Seemed like the only reasonable explanation if it was reasonable. Just like now what charanko explained to him about the tournament and how people were seeded into was that the ones that looked weak were put towards the center and starting matches and the stronger ones would be near the outer edges and judging by the tournament chart that charanko got while over their implies that saitama must have looked weak and that this suiryu and bakuzan were the two showrunners for the victory.

He was surprised that max an A-class hero would be lumped into this group of individuals but charanko explained that martial artist and heroes have a sort of rivalry going martial artist believes that those that choose to become heroes are taking an easier path and giving up on their craft while heroes believed that martial artist are somewhat selfish and cowardly believing that fighting another regular human doesn't really compare with fighting a monster which ojiro could see both groups for but that didn't explain bang though, charanko explained that bang had already been at the pinnacle at the martial arts world him becoming a hero didn't do much to ruin his reputation but actually it was the other way around martial artist would ride on bang's coattails of his accomplishment as a hero which ojiro found a bit hypocritical but he guessed people had to make a living somehow despite the wisdom and fortitude any martial arts teachers in the end it still was a business.

Both ojiro and charanko was also curious about this match for another reason other than the fake charanko on the screen but if they both weren't mistaken than this zakkos individual trained in the same martial arts that Jackie was currently training with so they were curious about how it looked or operated but unfortunately they were both disappointed as the fight was over in a flash zakkos rushed in at "charanko" and in the next instant he was flying through the air on the ground from a regular slap from saitama. Predictably everyone was stunned by the scene even the announcer at first, he assumed that maybe "charanko" was just strong but maybe due to him wanting to keep the integrity of the seating that he suddenly flipped and said that zakkos was just pitfully weak.

Both ojiro and charanko cringed at the mention of zakkos hopping to propose to his girl after he had won the tournament making him feel bad but apparently they had an update on the fact that particular information apparently the girl he was set to propose to didn't even show up to the event which depending on how you take it could have been a good thing or a bad thing but it mostly likely spelled out something bad, at least he didn't get laughed at by her for his defeats. Ojiro pondered the fact of what would happen in his shoes although he guessed they already experienced something like that with garou and toru only expressed concern and some regret but that was mostly due to the severity of the situation in a more casual setting he was sure if he ever got slapped aside like this she would undoubtedly be laughing as well along with the crowd but it likely wouldn't be a malish laugh and she wouldn't look down on him for the lost let alone leave him because of it.

The next match should prove more interesting for both of them it was between lighting max and that former champion siryu on top of being an A-class hero, ojiro saw the heroes skills first hand during the picnic where he fought with kaminari in his lighting god form and won fairly handily so he was curious about how he would fare against this adversary, the two demeanor towards match up couldn't have been further apart while suriyu was still seemingly just relaxed meanwhile max was completely serious with a hardened look but something about it was off, his head was tilted a little too far upwards to be looking at siruyu for a lot of them beginning like he was looking to someone in the stands above? Volten perhaps or maybe something else ojiro thought, whatever it was he looked back down at his current opponent with even more reserved aggression then before and when the match began that aggression unleashed dashing forwards towards the light skinned martial artist with full speed before bounding and flipping high into the air keeping that same momentum where the hero came down with a double heel axe kick but in the next moment he audience and the two of them in the hospital was shocked yet again as a simple sidestep followed by a quick kick to the side of the head completely through max to the other side of the arena completely down for the count. The stadium was in a huge uproar at the spectacle and it completely changed ojiro's perspective on that man…now he was just curious how strong was this guy, to be able to take out an A-class hero and especially rather high one at that with just one hit with what seemed so casual as well this guy must have been at least an S-class level individual. So it seemed like some of his classmates' assumptions that the S-class were obviously the strongest in this world may have been wrong if even unknown people were capable of being this strong.

The next matchup was definitely going to be more of a stomp in the opposite direction ojiro was sure and this would at least partially restore some of the heroes credit when snek inevitably wipes the floor with this guy, he never thought that he would hold a grudge for this long but it was something he could work on after this match the match started out fairly simple despite the man losing to himself it seems that his cocky attitude still remained as he had taunted the hero for being weak but that soon changed when he attacked with his first blow it was easily intercepted by the hero and realizing he couldn't escape the cowards tried to plead for his life but that obviously was a ploy knowing the smiley scoundrel and his silver tongue and how he duped bakugo into overextending but his fake out failed this time the punch he tried to throw was just to slow in comparison to the double piercing attack that the hero threw and landed directly in his chest forcing him to skid back near the edge of the arena before dropping down towards the ground completely defeated. Ojiro laughed at that but that was cut off by a notification from his phone, picking it up he didn't know who the message was from but given that it was addressed to the non-killing army that likely meant that it was from the association directly. The message simply read;

We are in a current state of emergency, all monsters are to be terminated, capture is no longer an option.

That didn't sound good at all and in the very next moment the class group chat started to light up.

Group chat:

GSD: What's happening?

UR: monsters are attacking everywhere, me and tatsumaki are in X-city and headed across from there.

SPL: Me, tokoyami, and zombieman have been tasked with heading over to V-city.

GoD: me, half-half and cyborg are dealing with the threats in C-city

GoC: I'm with death gatling at the moment we have been tasked with dealing with threats in G-city.

TTT: I'm in W-city with a squad of tank tops.

SM: I'm with pig god in Y-city.

Grape: me and king are in O-city

Iida: I'm in O-city with silver chain and flash

RR: I'm in h-city with bone

Everyone else began to list their whereabouts or who they were with but, it was almost as if they were ignoring what the association told them from before this chat started but he guessed that it was on the backs of their minds especially during this crisis. Then he got another notification, this time a personal one.

Light of my life: are you ok?

Tail tangled fate: I'm doing fine for now, whatever's happening it doesn't seem to be extending this far just yet. Are you gonna be ok?

Light of my life: I think so, I'm with zombieman and tokoyami so we should be fine we had to fly their instead because the train roots have mostly been destroyed or blocked in some way, the monster are coming up from the ground, so they could show up anywhere almost spontaneously so just be safe alright?

Tail-tangled fate: I'll keep that in mind, you keep safe to alright. 3

Light of my life: 3

Just as ojiro stopped texting the next moment he could already feel miniature vibrations along with that he began to hear the monster alarms and the person over the radio directing people away and into any of the nearby shelters. Surprisingly the superfight tournament did not end, yet or be canceled but why? Was it due to the monsters that attacked C-city already being defeated? Bakugo, Todoroki, and the demon cyborg were there so it made some sense on why a case like that could be made but he wasn't so sure. The current match up was against bazuzu and volten the match was another short one as bazuzu's explosive style was hard countered by volten's electric armor allowing the former hero the opening he needed to deliver a lighting enhanced punch straight to the man's chest completely ending the match as he man fell back unconscious. Before the next match could start however ojiro felt another more violent rumble this one was obviously much closer than the last and to that point both him and charanko could now hear the screams of the hospital staff yelling out that monster had arrived from seemingly out of nowhere.

Ojiro was up in an instant hastily taking off his hospital gown and putting on his karate gi ready to go out and fight the encountering monster, he took a glance towards charanko too see what he was going to do and despite him shivering in his seat for a moment his features hardened and his shaking subsided as he took a breath and nodded his head getting up and approaching the door with ojiro, ojiro nodded at this and quickly pulled open the door and quickly ducked just in time to avoid a tentacle like appendage quickly approach his head attempting to behead him, no words were spoken as charanko rolled over his friends back into range of the monster hitting him with a kick that sent the attacking monster backwards, ojiro did a small leap with his tail leap up and around charanko and slammed down the monster with a tail swipe, that crater the monster into the ground knocked unconscious. The two quickly surveyed the situation, multiple of the the more lively patients were attempting to fight off other monster scatter about the floor, due to this being a hero hospital by the association most of the wounded were professional heroes of some kind and could hold their own with some of the monsters despite their injuries but it was a losing battle.

Charanko was surprisingly one of the first to move but his target was anything but surprising he went to protect a nurse that was nearly pinned up against a wall from a monster that was attacking her, now ojiro initially assumed that off course he would go to protect a women first but a secondary thought process admit that it was likely a wise move she was completely defenseless in comparison to the other injured heroes fighting monster in their stead she was a complete civilian in this scenario and would have the least chance of getting out of the situation alive if left alone to fend for herself if the one dead doctor hanging over the side of a desk was anything to go by. Ojiro quickly went over to help another hero that was pinned down by some dog monster the monster mouth had opened incredibly large and was hoping to bite the heroes head off but the heroes was keeping the creatures jaws at bay for a moment at least but he could tell by the slowly closing mouth that the hero was losing ground. So quick as he could he struck the dog monster full force with a donkey kick the attack sent the dog careening through the walls of the hospital before it came to a stop on one of the machines, he heard it yelp in pain as it seemed to be impaled on something and despite what it was just about to do ojiro felt sort of bad for the creature, even with his kick he could feel some of the creature ribs give way and compress into itself so it was definitely in a lot of pain but the hero he just saved quickly put a stop to it's suffering as a scalpel was thrown through the creatures head through its eyes and ojiro winced before feeling the weight of the hero cling to his arm to stand up again.

"It's either us or them." the hero remarked simply looking ojiro in the eyes as he had picked up some more scalpels to use to defend himself.

The fighting continued for some time, but ojiro could never bring himself to actually kill many of the attacking monsters despite all the bloodshed they caused in the hospital. Luckily he didn't really have to, the heroes even wounded were stronger than the monsters assumed. all of the monsters that he disabled were killed by another hero as he continued on elsewhere. Down the hall was located tank top master and some of the tank tops visiting him so he was sure that that side of the hospital was likely doing fine so he focus his attention in the opposite direction of that wing of the hospital and the destination he had in mind was the critical wing, these heroes were more banged up and couldn't move a muscles which would make them easy prey for any monsters that would be headed their way and given that the monster main objective was to kill the heroes here it would obviously be a prime target for them. Him and charanko were slowly but steadily making their way to that side of the hospital helping out whenever they could, they're were often times they would need to take detours as hallways were compromised or the floor beneath them would collapse from a surprise monster attack, ojiro had used his awakening state to capture a falling charanko which was about to fall directly into the waiting mouth of a venus flytrap type monster but they left that for someone else to fight for now as they kept pushing forwards heading up the stairwell where it led directly to even more chaos.

A couple of heroes must have had the same thought process that he did and were violently defending against the monsters attempting to attack the unguarded patience one of the heroes, Ojiro and charanko recognized as mumen rider, he had come along with some of the tank toppers which included tank girl. The monster on this floor had made their way in through the windows so they usually sprouted four arms or additional appendages or were just animals like frogs or spider hybrids. The tank tops were currently engaged with two of the four arm individuals one resembling a mutated humanoid body of some kind and the next was a humanoid fly..charanko and ojiro quickly got to work helping them out with the fight which helped turned into their favor but as that thought crossed their head suddenly a fishing hook grabbed into one of the windows and completely took out one of the walls before it was replaced by an imposing figure a giant fish creature that completely it held a gord and a fishing hook in its hands before belching out a laugh.

"It's lucky for me that the hero hunter failed to kill these heroes. Now I can take all the credit." he said laughing again. Mumen rider was the first person to step up to the new arrival.

"We won't let you have your way." mumen rider remarked simply as he charged forth and threw a justice punch that was easily caught by the monster.

"Geheaha , why thank you for not running away, I pulled in a big haul and I'll end it you with a crunch" the monster said before opening it's mouth to bite mumen rider but was knocked aside as ojiro came in with his tailless form knocking the creature back next to the whole he entered from.

"I'll handle this guy , you guy's get the patients to safety." ojiro remarked simply before charging at the monster again and drop kicking it out of the building to the floor below and jumping out after it. Charanko was about to go and join him but was halted by tank girl and mumen rider persuading him to just follow his instructions instead.

Ojiro crashed down on the creature with a lion kick making the monster release grunt of pain but it wasn't done, it skillfully used it's fishing hook to hook into the crook of his karate gi and quickly spun him off him before launching him into the building, ojiro grunted already starting to feel his prior injury comeback to him as his muscles detested strenuous exertion he was putting on them even after just recovering. He stood up and side stepped just in time to dodge out of the way of the hook again but he was completely caught unaware as the hook caught into the building and as the monster dragged it back plucked out a large piece of wall and hit him in the back with it. Ojiro quickly shot up and flipped back as the monster dives at him with it's mouth gaping open to bite down, takin a play out of it's playbook he took a part of the crumbling wall and started to chuck pieces at the monster it was only a pestering move but that was what he wanted to get the monster angry enough to use his hook without care and it did swung it towards him dead center which he was easily able to avoid and the thing it did hit was the foundation of the building meaning it likely wouldn't have the strength to reel it back in or at least he hoped it didn't as he charged the creature who just as he imagined couldn't' reel back in it's hook.

that didn't mean it was completely defenseless it's gourd it carried came in quick and fast ojiro was just able to avoid the brunt of the attack while delivering one of his own to the creature face but just skimming his side caused him to lurch in that direction as if hit by a truck, he flew through the air where he had hit the concrete sign that signified the hospital and slumped against it, the monster made his way over cutting the line on it's fishing hook before barfing out a new one to recast but as he went to cast it in his directions a burst came from the building the plant creature from before came sailing out and completely slammed into the fish creature at first ojiro thought he was in more trouble but upon realizing that both creatures came were now unmoving and turning back to the recent hole in the hospital he found tank top master there. He was saved, he quickly de-transformed and got up popping his spine in the process which was fairly painful but overall not too bad of a shape. He regrouped with master and some of the other heroes and completely fought off the monster assault, well more like the monster stopped assaulting altogether and left him more confused than victorious as some heros cheered their victory.

C-city super stadium

"Hey! Security just informed me there is an evacuation alert! Monsters have appeared, " one of the workers said as he made his way into the announcer booth.

"Seriously!?" the announcer asked in disbelief

"The crowd must have drowned out the warning we gotta make an announcement, where is the disaster manual ?" another gentleman said as he started to search the room for said book.

"But what about the tournament?" the announcer asked again not wanting to stop the show so soon.

"We'll have to cancel it…and give a refund for the tickets." his co-announcer remarked

"No! Don't imagine the panic that would cause." a voice sounded from the doorway making everyone turn to see who it was.

"Bakuzan, were you even listening!? Monsters have appeared so-"

"There is no need to evacuate. This place is full of martial artists in the worst case if any monster show up I'll handle it.`` Bakuzan remarked with his stoic expression he didn't want anything to disrupt his competition, not until he beat Siryu and proved that he was the greatest of all time.

Babeep!

Genos had just gotten notification on his phone he took it out and was about to start to read it when he noticed that the teens must have gotten a similar notification, forgetting that for now he continued on to read about what was said but it was nothing but reports of monsters sightings and their were a lot of them in all of the major cities, what was happening? There were even some in C-city. Genos cast a glance to the teens next to him, both of which were looking back at him waiting on his move and he briefly looked over to Saitama and considered if he should tell him about it, but he seemed focused on his match doing some sort of deep breathing exercise(yawning). No that shouldn't be necessary I likely could handle it on my own and with the other two here we should be able to take care of the problem in no time, though the threat level of these monster are still being evaluated he doubt many of them were above that of demon according to the VGS he has 70% chance of beating them regardless so a few weak monster should be no problem he will exterminate each one. I will not let them disrupt the tournament. Genos thought as he and the teens continued outside.

Using his enhanced vision combined with his sensors he detected a monster that was close by the stadium nearby and he quickly dashed off, genos didn't even give the monster time to get a word off as soon as he touched down he raised his incinerator and completely obliterated the creature. The civilian around him praised him for one moment before telling him of the other monsters located around the city in the next and that was when the teens finally caught up to him. The crowd quitted down somewhat and some of them even looked at the teens with disdain. Todoroki was confused about why but bakugo already had a hunch on what it was.

"Too late to "save" the monster aren't ya!" one man yelled from the back of the crowd, generating some boos from the crowd in question bakugo didn't respond and whispered to todoroki to not do the same as they waited for demon cyborg to get off the phone for their next steps.

"Genos! Where are you?" the C-city division person headquarters asked

"I am in C-city near the stadium. What's the situation?" genos remarked

"Monsters are appearing everywhere, we counted 8 appearances in C-city." the man replied

"I just eradicated one, where are the others?" genos asked

"Understood, I'll guide you to them one by one." the man replied, genos casted a glance over to the two teens next to him.

"I'm also here with dynamite and frozen-phoenix. It would be more efficient if we separate into two different groups to cover the monsters as quickly as possible. " Genos said suddenly and for the briefest of moments there was a pause in the man's haste whether it was to check on the status of the individuals in question or more than likely to see if they could actually use them in this type of scenario given their nature.

"They did receive the message that the association sent out correctly, do they understand the terms of engagement?" the man asked.

"Yes, they understand and will comply with the rules of engagements." genos said a bit loudly to not only tell them but the crowd as well.

"Ok, I'll await their call and assign the two a handler." the man remarked, genos said his thanks before telling frozen-phoenix to call the C-city branch headquarters and at first the boy didn't ' think he would have the capability to but after checking over the notification from the association received actually didn't come from a number but an application quickly clicking on it, the first things he was presented with was a list of options A-Z which he assumed meant the City each one would connect with choosing C and after giving his hero name and rank he was immediately connected to his hander it was a women which told him of a monster that was 10 kilometers north of them and he affirmed before heading that direction telling bakugo to follow him which garnered the usual response of him yelling out not to tell him what to do but he still followed regardless while the demon cyborg went the other way.

The first monster bakugo and todoroki encountered was some dark skinned humanoid creature with horns on it's head, todoroki attacked immediately the launching out a few ice spiked that collided with the creature knocking it back from some fleeing civilians, bakugo followed up the attack with his AP-machine gun the explosion rocked and bit into the ground multiple times before letting up, the creature was defeated and unconscious but that left what should they do now as both of them landed at the edge of the crater staring down at the unconscious monster.

"What should we do now? We can't just leave it here." Todoroki mentioned and for perhaps the single and only moment bakugo really didn't know what to do, they could potentially freeze the creature and leave it off somewhere but they didn't know when it would wake up or if it could break out and cause even more destruction. But while they were thinking about things a shadow dropped down into the crater and dropped down directly on top of the monster and then stood up as both teens yelled out to him, as he turned around they noticed this knights purple, white, and gold armor, it seemed to dislodge from the creatures neck it's weapon which was a piledriver. The knight rose and looked at them for a moment before continuing out the creator up to them.

"It seems the association was correct to send me to clean up your mess." the knight.

"Clean up? You didn't do anything! You walking medieval larper.`` Bakugo yelled immediately.

"I eliminated the target, putting the threat away for good!" the knight yelled back.

" that "threat" was unconscious." todoroki argued back

"It's a monster... they are alwaysa threat, whatever is happening this is not a simple coincidence these monsters are not sparring people so we should not spare them in return, stop acting like children and do your jobs as heroes." the knight said, simply pushing past them roughly. Bakugo was about to launch an explosion to the back of the man's head but Todoroki stopped him by getting in the way, just pointing towards the next target they had to deal with.

The next monster was another large humanoid creature this one head contained many eyes along with spike sprouting all over its body, the monster was stronger than the previous one it was able to punch through the ice todoroki sent it's way before being staggered back by multiple C4 explosion by bakugo and todoroki continue forwards with a jet kindling attack striking the monster and throwing it off its feet before bakugo sprayed it with his time bomb attack and launched forwards at the large creature and launching an explosion at its face that caused a chain reaction that sent the monster dragging across the ground, todoroki wrapped the monster up to it's neck in ice and coincidently the police arrive soon after the monster defeat and not just any police either these were equipped with those Lazer weapons that metal knight had given them the monster extermination unit. The two said nothing as they just continued on to the next target. This was the last for them for now as genos were closer to the other ones.

The monster that continued to the last monster this one was a type of centipede/humanoid monster it possessed to legs like a regular person but it's upper body was more centipede like it's but it's legs/arms were full sharp blade like appendages that it would use to pierce the targets around him. The blades were already stained with the blood of who knew how many victims but bakugo could already see that some of them included even children as the two closed in on the beast todoroki unleashed a heaven piercing ice wall attack but the creature using it's blade like appendage actually dug through the attack forcing him to dodge out of the way of its charge, todoroki switched up with his flames using his a wall of flames that coalesced around the monster but the attack had no effect at all the creature reared up on its humanoid hind legs and shooting out multiple of the giant blade like claws on its limbs at todoroki as he skied around on his ice, the sharp object missed their mark but one struck the ice hat he was using to skate around on causing him to fall the monster attempted to take the opportunity to shoot one of its claws to skewer him while in free fall but bakugo was their to save him completely deflecting the attack with an AP-shot while charging at the beast using his braces to completely block the sharp claws before launching an explosion directly on the creature chest but it seemed to have no effect, it's outer carapace was extremely hard apparently, bakugo than used an explosion to avoid a bite from the monster the thing neck could elongate and it attempted to use it's pincer to attack bakugo but the explosive teen was just to fast before going for an point blank stun grenade.

The creature was blinded but in its lack of vision completely lashed out with everything it had its metal-like claws started to erupt all around its body like a porcupine. A defensive mechanism that started to impact the surrounding area and endangering the civilians still in the area, todoroki quickly rushed to help the fleeing people and covered over them with his ice while bakugo bakugo had to figure out a way to deal with the monster while avoiding the blades which didn't seem like it was having a problem generating almost indefinitely. He searched around for a moment but not seeming to find anything but death and more destruction, seeing a child ripped in half made his eyes hardened for a moment before charging at the monster using his gauntlets to complete bypass the monster defense mechanism before setting down near the head and using his claymore ability with his gauntlets, unlike his C4 bombs this one was a large caste of nitroglycerin in one singular form and he dumped it directly into the monsters mouth which exploded just as bakugo jumped backwards. The resulting explosion completely obliterated the creature's head and upper torso. Bakugo took one last glance at the corpse the only thing that remained was some of its lower body but he didn't care as he moved past it to look over any of the injured, todoroki gave him a look but said nothing as the two continued on helping people and emergency services as best they could.

they were approached by a hero in a kitchen uniform named butcher he complement bakugo for his work and starting to get the hangs of how things work the blonde merely put off the compliment as the three continued on to help. After they were finished with that the association contacted todoroki again this time with a more "suited" mission than monster extermination, this was to be a escort mission one of the associations executive and his daughter was nearby located in a nearby building the two were to be escorted to a specialized executive shelter and todoroki affirmed before sighing why did he have a feeling he already knew who this daughter was.

Genos continued on his way towards the monster designated but he made sure to keep insurance on the teens to tell his handler that they should send some sort of hero or executioner to where the teen fought monsters as he doubted if they really understand the position they were in and the handler obliged, they didn't have time to argue with monster sympathizers especially if they could be used as valuable sources to defeats monsters. C-city was a relatively low threat level city so it didn't have many high ranking heroes stationed here in fact if he was correct the city had no A-class level heroes at all in the usual roster and if the hero hunter has made an appearance here then the city would be even weaker he speculated as he went through attacking monsters the first of which was a weakling some small humanoid lizard man type, he quickly hoisted the monster by the neck and snapped it before being led to the next monster.

This monster was brandishing two bladed and it's skin was an amalgamation of decaying and rotting faces or fresh ones and judging by the corpses behind the monster he could already tell where those fresh ones had come from, he immediately shot an incineration blast at the monster, he had assumed that due to the monster being caught off guard the monster death would be assured but it seemed to have better senses than the others as when the dust finally cleared the monster had used it's large cleaver like blades completely blocked the attack.

"Oh hey! An S-class hero, Demon cyborg Can I take your face to!" the monster remarked with a sadistic grin before dashing at genos with incredible speed that surprised the hero but he was still able to react dodging back out of the way of the downwards sword slash with a back flip which continued as the monster kept swinging at him with both of it's weapons but all of them were just a hair's breadth away from landing but each strike was getting closer and closer the more he did so.

Genos was then forced to block the next couple of strikes, the monster wailing away faster and faster making genos unable to counter attack. Genos noticed that the blades were continuously biting into his arm and seeing no end to the monster fury decided to use one of his arms as a sacrificial lamb blocking both sword strikes causing even more damage to that arm losing 60% of its structural integrity but the damage was still somewhat manageable and it allowed him to charge up his next attack a high voltage fist he lashed out with that attack and was surprised when the creature was able to switch his offense immediately to defense to stop the strike cold, even the electricity didn't flow through the blade to the target as a secondary option that he thought would happen, so he disengaged when the monster swung again jumping back and creating space.

"How do you like my knife handling skills, while guarding myself perfectly I tear away at an opponent's flesh. I save the face for last and given that your cybernetic face will never decay! It will be my ultimate prize. The other monsters will bow in my presence when they see it, me face ripper." face ripper remarked with a large grin twirling his sword around himself.

"I don't care, I'll just fry you here and now." genos remarked

"Do you want to try that now? The people behind will likely die as well." face ripper said and for a moment Genos hesitated and stretched his head forwards a bit to see if he could get a better view and that was the monster's time to strike, speeding forward even faster than before and coming down on top of the unsuspecting cyborg's head.

"Hah! Idiot you hesitating gave me an opening." face ripper yelled with glee but that soon turned to confusion when his knife suddenly shattered and the cyborg that should at least have brain damage but a hand shot out towards his mouth and completely ensnared it.

"You're the idiot here, I'll purposely let you aim for my head, the hardest point on my body, to create an opening. Now die." genos remarked before activating his incinerators and completely blowing the monster up causing a large explosion to sour up into the sky.

"Nice work genos!, the teens have finished up the latest monster and have been reassigned elsewhere where there is only one more monster left. Two kilometers northwest." the operator informed him.

"Were the executioners needed?" genos asked as he went towards the destination.

"Yes they were until the last creature dynamite reportedly killed the monster himself." the operator responded and genos said nothing to the news but thought it made the most sense.

As genos got to the scene , the heroes were already nearly defeated, the last one standing being a hero with a kettle on his head but of which was quickly crumpled in on itself as the monster simply batted him aside mid yawn before noticing him.

"Oh demon cyborg. Huh? I was getting bored with all these small fry here. Tell me do you hate cockroaches too?" the insect monster asked as the two sized each other up.

"I warn you to not underestimate me, I'm strong." the cockroach remarked and to make good on that comment he sped directly towards genos delivering a hard punch to the cyborg stomach making him slide back a few feet.

"What was that? I don't think I heard your answer." the cockroach taunted

" I…..I dislike cockroaches but I loath insect monsters even more." genos remarked as he recovered from the punch, he needed to stay calm. The monster wasn't bluffing about it's strength, if he were careless it would be dangerous, focus on the target and defeat it with all his strength that is what master saitama would do. Genos thought as the fight began.

Genos being more prepared for the monster this time around was able to narrowly avoid the swipe from it's clawed hands only managing to rip his shirt while countering and returning with a punch of his own, the creature was quicker however completely blocking the strike and using it's extra spare set of hands to strike the cyborg in the chin, he felt the monster clamp down on his wounded arm before kicking him in the chest with his leg and pulling completely ripping the injured arm from its socket. Genos while in the air quickly corrected his spin and fired off another multiple incinerator blast with his good arm but the monster was too fast and moved too weirdly for any of his attacks to land home. The monster slither just out of his sight ducking through an alley before suddenly he was kicked from behind; he used one hand to catch himself before standing back up and glaring at the monster who still had his arm in his hands and was using it to wave at him.

"Is this really all an S-class hero has to offer? Demon cyborg I'm disappointed." the monster remarked with a smug grin before glancing at the hero's arm and using two of his hands to crush it before throwing it haphazardly to the ground. Genos said nothing only dashing at the monster re-engaging the conflict before he went into melee however he used his lighting eyes to emit a light to blind the creature but the monster was still seemingly completely aware to dodge out of the way of his drop kick before rounding on him with a double punch to the face. That sent him skidding on the ground the monster laughed and jumped after him but Genos wanted this as he angled his incinerator at the monster in the air but those wings on its back wasn't just for show as it seemingly changed its trajectory in mid-air completely avoiding the strike. Genos quickly got up as the monster started to move around him in a blur of motion and he knew in that very moment what he had to do, he evades hs blast by moving overhead and counters through the smoke his attacks creates, he can't compete with his speed and his movements between the building make him hard to track but there was one thing he knew from fighting the monster it liked to attack his opponents blinds spots.

"I did not want to use this but I have no choice." Genos murmured to himself, catching the monster's attention and causing it to back off slightly from him.

"Hm? Are you gonna try a special move? A sharp blade? A scattered blast? Or lasers from your eyes? It won't work…even if you shoot at light speed, your intent is as clear as day I'll be gone before you even fire, laying down random fire won't work either. Not only would you have to deal with collateral damage, I trained specifically to avoid such moves!" the cockroach monster remarked.

"I did not want to equip this, but was right…I can not grow if I can't face superior opponents." Genos remarked sticking his arm up and this made the cockroach monster flinch even more creating more distance than previously as he moved around the cyborg making the monster attempt to guess what the cyborg could be talking about.

"A tracking missile? Poisonous gas? Heh. don't tell me it's pesticide hehe!" the monster asked with a laugh but the cyborg remained silent and awakened cockroach was worried until he came up with an idea, a secret move was only useful if he actually had the time to employ it in combat he wouldn't give him that opportunity.

"Aw! I'm done with this! You already admit my superiority and for that I'll let you go for now! But don't think the other monsters around will show you mercy. I've already damaged you enough so that they can take you out! Goodbye!" awakened cockroach screamed from atop a building. Before disappearing from sight genos had no doubt that the monster wasn't completely gone and to that thought its voice came from behind him.

"Goodbye again, demon cyborg!" the monster announced two of its hands sharpened into a point ready to skewer the monster directly through the chest but was completely caught off guard as he was completely halted in his movement.

"Wh-what the what is this?" the monster said looking at his feet and finding a random liquid glued to his feet.

"It's an instantaneous super strength adhesive, I keep it in case of a sudden ninja attack. Using it means that I admit that my opponents are faster than me, so it aggravates me" genos remarked simply

"Ninja? What are you babbling about?" the monster remarked

"Never mind….incinerate." genos remarked holding his arm up and firing a large blast that completely went off into the distance, he silently cursed he guessed he was a little angry than he thought as he viewed the destruction in the distance before he gazed down and noticed that the monsters legs were still on the ground in front of him, he summarized that the creature must have sacrificed it's legs to escape the blast but in that case the wounds should be fatal or at the very least it should be weak enough for another hero to finish off. He cast another look down past the foot, to the adhesive substance, he should also take the time to send the pink teen a thanks for the material substance he thought if she was still alive that was.

That was the last of the monsters so he should be free to go back to the super fight stadiu- just as Genos thought that a ring from his phone caught his attention. The handler told him of another monster that just popped up nearby this one seemingly stronger than the rest as it's disaster level was confirmed to be at least a demon and judging by its current trajectory it was headed straight for the stadium something that genos could not let happen so he made a decisions, first he asked for the two teens to be redirected towards the stadium once their mission was complete and secondly he had to wait for the recovery drones to come and help him out with some in-field repairs while he couldn't go back up to 100% effectiveness he could at least return to 70% if given the time which judging by the speed the monster was moving in he likely wouldn't be able to so he would likely have to settle for 60% or so and off he went to the next challenge as long as he made it to the finals he would be satisfied.

C-city super stadium

"Here we go folks, the start of the grand finales! In one corner we have suiryu, he has won every match thus far with a single kick! One blow from his long legs has rendered all of his opponents unconscious!... And in the other corner an unlikely contender is charanko! He has won every match in a single punch, they both may share different styles but they both are heavy on the offense! Suiryu smiles, does his technique and experience give him an edge!? Is his white belted opponent wearing that idiotic expression to hide his nerves or is it just a ploy to lure his opponent into a false sense of security!?" the announcer remarked

"This is just how I normally look." Saitama muttered under his breath.

"Charanko. Let's have some fun." suiryu remarked with a smirk surprising Saitama somewhat, most of the martial artists he went up against always were muttering things about killing him or hurting him really badly so an actual friendly person was a welcome surprise for him.

The match began and suiryu was the first one to rush towards his opponent, his arm folded in front of him as he lashed out with a kick but stopped short of the man's head. The wind nearly blew the wig off of Saitama's head which he had to hastily stop with putting and hand over top of his head. Suiryu continued however to target his head with a kick but stopped short again this time the wig nearly blew off completely for a moment forcing Saitama to fall back with it , with a hop to make it look more realistic. Saitama just wanted to feel the guy out but the breeze his kicks make is dangerous. Is he aiming there on purpose? Did he figure out his secret, Saitama thought in a bit of worry.

"What's wrong? I'm sure you can follow my movements, don't tell me you're actually nervous are you?" suiryu remarked before launching back at him, throwing kicks all around his body either missing entirely or stopping short before making a connection. Before retracting again.

"That announcer got no idea what's going on, this is just a warm up but you knew that, didn't you? You sensed my intention and knew that I had no plans on landing any attack on you. That's why you didn't dodge or block." suiryu said with a smirk

"So he wasn't aiming for my head" Saitama thought.

"The match has begun don't you think it's about time you stop trying to feel me out and take this seriously? I can tell you're pretty strong because I'm strong too…it's in your eyes. You're not looking for prestige or status. Those eyes are looking for fun by fighting a strong opponent." suiryu said.

"Well ….I guess you're right, it would be fun if I could actually fight someone strong.'' Saitama said simply.

"I knew I hit the bullseye, so tell me other than that why did you enter the super fight tournament? I simply wanted the prize money myself." suiryu asked, Saitama agreed with the man that he too just wanted the prize money.

"I was also thinking about another thing, I wanted to have fun fighting a strong opponent. It's good to have a chance to cut loose and compare skills with a strong opponent. Skilled guys like you are hard to find so today must be a fine day.`` Suiryu said.

"Strength is fun…huh?" saitama remarked a bit more aloof then usual

"Yeah strength is way fun! The stronger humans are, the more free they become, you can live an easy life. As you probably know there is also a problem. Sometimes an easy life just isn't enough. Things start to get boring and you seek some sort of stimulation. I bet your just starving for a thrill right now.`` Suiryu remarked and Saitama had to give it to him. He was correct on that point but he didn't know about his reasoning behind it. Strength was fun and allowed you to be free? Maybe he could see somethings like that but he guessed that the man was just a more positive thinker than he was.

"I also came here to experience martial arts, I heard it was tough so I took interest but I always won with such ease. At this rate I don't think there was a reason for me coming here in the first place. " Saitama said with an unimpressed expression.

"But considering how excited the crowd is about you combined with your confidence, you may be different." Saitama remarked with a balled fist.

"Haha understood. So here's the deal I'll help you experience martial arts, in return you have to make this fun for me.`` Suiryu said with a cheeky smile.

"Good idea, maybe now I can experience how tough martial arts are!" Saitama remarked slamign a closed fist into his hand.

"Great! We have an agreement. Here I come!" suiryu said before stepping forwards with a smile, he launched off his back foot before kicking out this time with fully intending to land and just as he expected charanko blocked it relatively fine but was still sent towards the edge of the ring the next diving kick was avoided which would have sent him off but that didn't deter suiryu before as he kept going at charanko even faster than before but the supposed "white belt" was even faster than he thought being able to avoid a barrage of his kicks but he did even better feinting a kick from one direction before going from under the opponent's chin striking him high into the air before jumping up and slamming him back down with another kick and to add on he gripped both of his arms to and slammed both of his news into charanko forehead before finally jumping back and giving the man some room to breath.

"Is that all, you wanted to experience martial arts right? So I'm not holding back." suiryu said confidently.

"Yeah…that was scary just now." Saitama remarked simply more due to the fact that his wig nearly flew off as he casually got out of the arena he was buried waist high in suiryu took exception to that and charged back at the martial artist eager to see what the man had, launching kick after kick goading the man in to trying to attack him with one of his famous punches that he ended his other matches with besides zakkos which was ended with a mere slap, but just when the famed punch was about to land he retreated instead, could it be did he sense that he was going to counter with a kick? He's good for a white belt, he heard about bang's technique before from his master the ultimate defense and he could definitely see how it could earn that title from what he's seen here.

"How do you usually spend your time?" suiryu asked

"Well I guess I just take walks and kill any monster I come across I guess." Saitama remarked simply.

"What? you fight monsters? That's like a hero charanko-kun.`` Suiryu remarked, crap I'm supposed to be someone else right now saitama thought.

" well…I hope to be a hero someday." Saitama said, scratching the back of his head.

"Woow, so you want to be one of those dumb heroes to? Huh? If you ask me, that industry is no good. I had two matches against A-class heroes and they were weak, nothing special to talk about at all. Hero is just a nice name in the real world, there is no such thing. They're supposed to be professionals but they act so condescendingly, preaching about justice and expecting reward in return for their good deeds. No matter how much people on those two levels try they won't ever be able to save the world from crisis. It's pointless to rely on them. Noble aspirations, lofty ideals, a noble sense of duty , a heroic sense of justice. None of them are needed for the fun, easy life , which I seek. Rather You could say that their pointless impurities, the very foundation of boredom. Your strong so don't go wasting your talents on such boring affair, you should live like me, and enjoy a free life just win a couple tournaments here and their and your set.`` Suiryu said , Saitama said nothing as he looked towards the floor.

"What? Did I make you depressed? I'm just giving you my true feeling because your strong, take it as some advice from someone that lives his life to the fullest." suiryu remarked said before launching another kick this one was a clean hit directly to the head but the man's body didn't even flinch the only thing that moved was the wig on his head, the audience was stunned into silence as the truth was revealed. saitama reeled back with a fist his tempered flared for a moment at what the martial artist said.

"You're not the only one doing what you want, so let me give you some advice. If your goal is to have fun than you shouldn't get much stronger than you are now.`` Saitama remarks before thrusting his fist forwards but quickly getting a hold of himself and stopping his punch short the air pressure of which completely blew forwards and ripped Suiryu's upper gi to pieces.

"Ah man, that was close. It was just a force of habit but I got more that I want to say to you so I didn't want to end the fight so soon.`` Saitama remarked casually at a stunned suiryu.

As the smoke cleared the crowd went wild in anticipation from the match up the announcer continued to hype he match but just like before continued to downplay what was actually happening according to him it was the act of suiryu flexing that ripped the man's shirt revealing his fined trained and honed physique but there was an even bigger questions at hand for "charanko" himself the referees had officially put a halt to the match while they discussed about the recent development involving charanko's wig and after a couple minutes of deliberations they finally came to a verdict, the announcer explained that due to the previous tournament winner wolfman was found out to be a fraud, they had created new regulations against headpieces/gear and the fact the charanko did not inform them about wearing a wig prior to the tournament or during sign in that the wig would be taken as headgear and herby making him disqualified for the match and making suiryu the winner and canceling the match much to the crowd disappoint as the cheer quickly turned to boo's and chants of the match to still continue.

"I see, so the match is over, huh? Well that just means that the real match starts now!" suiryu remarked a bit deflated before dashing at him and delivering a strike directly to the man's temple but to his surprise the man didn't even flinch from his strike, only casting a sideways glance his way.

"I don't care who you are! I still haven't shown you my true strength!"suiryu remarked before slamming a chop down at the top of the man head but was shocked when he only hit empty air and the stadium which was quickly divided in half, he quickly turned his head to see the man sidehop his strike and thinking quickly he stomped his foot on one half of the stadium making it quickly rise up and catch the man stopping him cold and leaving him vulnerable while his back was against the raised wall, suiryu took the opportunity rushing upwards and striking multiple times at the man who again showed no signs of even bothering to defend himself taking the strikes completely unaffected as the stadium piece collapsed he used his upward leverage to slam a kick at the man down towards the other half of the arena but he just took it while remaining stationary, suiryu hopped back before diving in again this time a chop to the man's neck that still was ineffective.

"I thought you only wanted the prize money? Why are you continuing to attack?" Saitama questioned, surprising suiryu.

"Sorry but I'd have felt like I lost and losing is just no fun for me." suiryu remarked

"Guess you're not gonna have much fun then." saitama remarked simply making suiryu merely gaped at the man before charging at him with anger, punching and kicking multiple times each having no effect at all, deciding to really screw it he continued into the air and did one of his ultimate techniques void sky dragon fist as he was in mid-air the strikes rained down on his opponent but the man showed no signs of even feeling his blows so he kept pouring it on each hit stronger than the last. The staff that were meant to come in and stop the fight were completely awestruck and frightened by the herculean display of power suiryu was giving, making any who actually made it to the cracked stage completely back up in fear of getting caught up in that mess.

Seeing that the man's face didn't change suiryu backed up from his attack and tried something different stomping his foot on his part of the arena creating a large fissure as cracks began to form again and again as he continued to move towards his targets. The hard stomps with each step served the purpose of increasing his power of his punch as he stepped into his opponent and delivered a devastating blow to the man stomach the force and his muscle bulging so much that his arm band completely snapped as he hit sent the man finally off his feet but barely a few feet back and the man showed no signs of change in his expression did that attack really not do anything? He thought as he stared at the bald man.

"I see , I think I'm beginning to understand…although I think the old man was better and he's a hero." saitama remarked

"What? Are you talking about bang?! And what exactly are you starting to understand!?" suiryu remarked

"In simple terms martial arts is….moving around in a way that's kinda cool right?" Saitama remarked, earning an exasperated expression from the martial artist, he couldn't believe he took multiple of his techniques and that was the only thing he took away from them!

"You shouldn't make light of heroes just because you're a little strong, you're still inferior to some of them even the ones you beat" saitama said

"What!?" suiryu said angered

"But I do want to try out that spinning thing. It would be cool if I could take out a monster while spinning in mid-air." saitama remarked as he began to spin around in circles, this completely pushed suiryu over the deep end as he charged absentmindedly at the man but he was shocked when he was suddenly struck by the guy's glutes and sent completely careening off the side the only thing that he could grab on to being his belt which due to how improperly fastened it was didn't find him any purchase as he was sent flying into the stands creating a large crater their but the pain of which he mostly ignored , no the things that stuck with him the most was the sting of defeat that he just witnessed it's been so long since he's been defeated or lost to anyone outside of his dojo. Everything else for the moment was just white noise as his body moved on it's own, the guards chasing after "charanko" or whoever that guy really was obviously going by his reactions it was some hero but the fact that he wasn't S-class truly puzzled him maybe he was telling the truth and that he was simply aiming to become one. That thought brought him back to the punch he withheld, the intent behind it was almost unbearable and frightening to say the least, just what would have happened to him if that shot had connected he wondered.

He finally turned back into his surrounding when the announcer was done giving him his whole speel about being champion and winning again and that completely jogged his memory back to who he really was, he still won the tournament even if he lost the fight he won the war and that's all that mattered and their was a pretty hot girl standing right next to him, he wondered if she had a boyfriend but before the girl could confirm or deny his question. The announcers went on this time talking about how no one was allowed to leave due to recent monster sightings near the stadium, this announcement was followed up by a scream that happened over the intercom apparently someone in the booth forgot to turn it off, there had been a number of injuries to the staff and security all throughout the halls of the stadium, suiryu at first question could the guy he just fought have done that but he didn't seem like the type to do so and too answer his question the crowd spotted several large crows circling around in the sky before landing down each crow were large easily 3x the martial artist size and each containing a contestant that was supposed to be going to the hospital to treat their injuries.

The first to break rank and run from the threat was easily the biggest cowards among them that guy from the bad roads school, turing tail and running towards the exit, the to pro heroes were going to take care of the crow themselves but that was stopped as the sudden scream from the guy running away met their ears everyone turned to see that emerging from the entrance was an extremely large creature at least 40ft tall.

"Have all the contestants been rounded up? Good you'll all become monsters." the hulking monster remarked simply.

The crowd immediately started to panic and run out of the stands towards the back exits but two of the company were unafraid and moved forwards to the new threat obviously being the boss of the group, the two heroes immediately stepped up to the large monster intent on taking it down, despite their showing in the tournament some in the crowd were inspired by their bravery and cheered them on to stop the monsters but the swift kick and the sudden disappearance of the two heroes from the stadium completely stopped that movement cold and the panic and screams of the people continued this time in earnest as they made to leave the stadium. Suiryu was unimpressed by the display. He had done something similar to those two in particular as well. Even more reason that you can't depend on heroes, he mentally scoffed at that bald man's remark. What the hell could those jokers have over him? Volten watched in complete shock as he just witnessed his student someone at this point he considered more a peer be completely launched into the sky like nothing, while he was sure that he would survive the fall would he even come back to face this threat, he's seen heroes fight demon level monster before but this, this creature was something stronger than even that, in truth the only person here that even has a hope of stopping this monster was…..suiryu, volten thought bitterly. still remembering his match with the man even with his lighting armor all it took was one kick.

"Huh? All I gave them was a little love tap, did that kill them?" goketsu asked, mostly to himself.

"Nevermind them for now you all, it would be easy for me to murder every last one of you, but we have different plans for today. I'm from the monster association called goketsu.`` the monster said. Earning a few gasps from the audience as the announcer explained for those that didn't know who that was apparently he was the originally champion of the super fight tournament all the way back to the regional one which was held up as still the superfight tournament with the toughest of challengers and through it all it was goketsu that won but apparently rumors had it that he had supposedly been challenged by a monster and hurt pretty badly and succumbed to his injuries.

"Ah yes I was beaten up pretty thoroughly by a monster but instead of killing me it took me to its lair and it was there they offered me a choice to join them by becoming a monster or die a human. I wanted to live and seeing the strength of monsters first hand, I wanted to become one to shred the limits of my human flesh and reach the boundless strength that monsters can obtain! The goketsu that stands before you right now is on a whole another level than when I was a human!" Gokuestu remarked, becoming more impassioned with his speech as he went along before almost snapping out of it and reaching into his large karate gi and throwing a couple of things to the ground.

"That reminds me why I'm here, rejoice you maggots! I come bearing gifts, listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.`` Goketsu remarked as the martial artist all stared down at the fleshy sponge balls of whatever it was made of on the floor.

"These are monster cells, eat one of them whole and they will induce mutations within your body turning you into a monster, after that depending on how you turn out you could hold a decent position or be used as cannon fodder for the association regardless of which you will be grateful for it. So the same choice I made is given to you: will you join our cause or die" Goketsu remarked as he pointed down at them threateningly.

All the martial artist simply stared completely stiff about the proposal none of them were willing to make any sudden moves that was until all the tension hit a boiling point as rosie made a mad dash forwards tripping over himself in the process towards the downed monster cells but he continued nonetheless almost unimpeded as he scarfed down cell whole and the effects were almost immediate as the normally scrawny man body started to enlarge and continue bulken up even a part of his upper spine started to sprout out form his skin but that didn't seem to matter to the man. Once the transformation finally subsided the man was at least 3 times his normal width packed with muscles and they just weren't for show either as the first act on the new monster rosie's agenda was to attack the still injured contestant dave as he lied on the ground picking him up with one hand and clearly throwing him clear out of the arena and into the stands while cursing his martial arts and just relying on his new strength instead but his new life was incredibly short lived as another contestant choze moved with incredible speed and completely snapped rosie's neck rather easily only remarking about now that he seen the monster cells in action and how it could increase the power of even a inferior specimen to that extent then for him it should grant him the ultimate power fitting of his genes. He was the second contestant to eat the cell and his body morphed into a dark purple crystal like material with large horns, his head along large crystal like exclusions on his shoulders.

"Oh? This one turned out alright, it seems we were right, the stronger the human the stronger the monster produced. That was the reason we chose to attack this tournament after all. Hurry up! These have no effect unless you decide to eat it yourself or do you mean to challenge me." goketsu remarked and this got some more of the martial arts moving both Benpatsu and Hamukichi charged forwards and scooped up their monster cells and ate them while either begging for their life and cursing their previous martial arts style and the little money it drew in, in the case of Hamukichi. Volten was utterly repulsed by the spectacle people so easily swayed to abandoned their ways but…this pressure the monster was emitting from it's very form was hard to argue with and the one man that could do anything seemed content to just stand there and do nothing if anything he was still uninterested like he didn't realize the situation they were in which angered him even more so when he thought about what he said about max in their match previously and he didn't know what caused it but his body unconsciously took a step forwards towards the cell as well. Suiryu wasn't a true martial artist and he hated admitting inferiority to the man in any respect, he wanted to get stronger and one day wipe that smug grin off his face not only for his sake but for max's as well but he didn't want to sacrifice his humanity to do it but his body took another step forwards towards the cell as if drawn to it.

But everything was put on pause when he was suddenly grabbed by the hulking monster he panicked and flared around in the monsters grasp thinking it would make an example of him but even as he unleashed all of his lighting it did little to the monster and he stopped struggling as soon as the monster spoke to him in a whisper. All the fight completely left him as he was then put back down on the arena and steadily made his way over to the monster cell and ate it, the changes were instant for the three new monsters Hamukichi turned into a large humanoid bear creature while Benpatsu simply grew a third eye. Volten entire body more becoming one with his electricity and even with this precedent volten watched as suiryu didn't do anything evening having the audacity to talk to the civilian girl still with that overconfident attitude of his thinking he could take them all on, it almost made him want to charge at the man right than and their but it was almost as if sensing his attention goketsu foot completely blocked his path making him look up at the monster who simply tilted his head for him to leave. He grimaced but nodded his head and agreed to leave through the stadium upper exit, casting one last glance at suiryu as he left.

Suiryu watched as the electric user left before staring back at the rest of them still stretching.

"What's up with that one? What don't tell me I scared him that badly?" suiryu remarked with a laugh.

"We have other plans for him maggot, you seem to be readying for combat, are you going to defy me?" goketsu remarked

"Well of course I'm going to defy you, after I beat all of you clowns I'm going to on a date with that hottie behind me and I can't have myself turn into a monster and become as ugly a you all are, I'm mean you guys were nothing to look at before but now? My eyes are hurting just looking at you." suiryu remarked, making two of the martial artists look at him with anger but Goketsu was unphased by the remark.

"Then allow us to ease your pain, kill him!" He ordered the new monsterized martial artist.

The first one to dash forwards was the monsterized benpatsu he guessed that man thought that becoming a monster made the gap between them any smaller but he was dead wrong. Suiryu thought just by the way he rushed towards him he could tell this man was no challenge.

"You hide behind that flamboyant facade but why are you really fighting us? Is it because you just found a sense of justice?" benpatsu remarked as he charged forward pulling back a fist btu his head was suddenly knocked to the side quickly followed by his body as Suiryu lighting quick leg came in and kicked him, as his body was twirling in mid-air from the force of his kick now , the other monster charged him from behind which it thought was his blind spot but a strong backfist quickly put that thought to rest as the large bear monster was completely knocked to the side.

"Justice? Nah nothing like that, you guys are just in the way of my carefree life.`` Suiryu remarked simply as the both monsters went down, not rising again. Leaving only two monsters left. Choze and suiryu locked gazes for a moment before both dashed forwards and clashed against each other the first blow each threw out were high kicks before they continued the brawl throwing multiple punches and kicks at great speed, the two ended their squirmish as both traded punches causing both to be pushed back a couple of feet.

"Ohh, you seem like you got a little more fight in you then the others." suiryu remarked

"A little? …I see now..this specimen seems to lack intelligence, unfortunate as you had potential but I've changed my mind. My clan was aiming for world domination, but that much is trivial. I've decided that I will use my newfound power to exterminate humanity. With the exceptions of the specimens that I deem worthy, not a single one will be left alive. I shall rebuild this world with only those that pass my screening and all of you have failed."

choze remarked and as he spoke a light started to shine and grow brighter in between his head growing in intensity until he pointed his head forwards towards them and let his blast free the inferior race annihilation cannon charged forwards with incredible speed suiryu thought about dodging out of the way of the attack he was quick enough to do it and whoever couldn't escape from it behind him was going to be their on shortcomings that led to their end but a he glance behind him and still saw the ringer girl still their, didn't he tell those idiots to get her safe? Were the ravens keeping them there? He thought as he turned back to the attack and changed his mind on dodging opting instead of taking a deep breath before stretching both of his hands out and catching….well catching whatever the hell it was it didn't feel like anything he's known of but it was powerful he struggled as the blast continued to try and race forwards but he had to keep a delicate of a hold enough that he didn't accidentally burst it open on himself, he felt his second armband snap open before he continued on to kick the ball of whatever up into the air creating large holes into the clouds. Choze was shocked as he saw his blast diverted upwards but he was even more shocked when he felt both of his horns be grabbed and kicked straight in the face and his horns were broken as the grip remained as his body went flying back. He quickly got to his feet and glared up at suiryu who threw his horns to the side.

"If that's all you got then you fail my screening, come on at least let me have a little more fun." suiryu remarked, still full of confidence, making choze glare at him some more before rising up to his feet.

"You made a terrible mistake, you wasted your only chance to die a quick and painless death!" choze yelled before he sped towards the man and suiryu reciprocate in kind both martial artist sped around this time the entire arena battling amongst each other the speed was so fast that the martial artist was unable to even follow them with their eyes but goketsu was following all of their movements with his eyes even making a game of it by following them with each of his eyes separately so that he didn't have to move his head around. The fight came to an ultimate conclusion when suiryu hit choze in the stomach with his void quake tiger fist completely halting the monster in his place as he followed up the blow with void rising phoenix fist the circular motion of his fist manifesting a cyclone that struck the man straight into the gut sending the monster choze spiraling back on the back dead. Suiryu for one moment was about to fall forwards but he quickly got a hold of himself and maintained his posture looking at his hand that was bleeding and thinking to himself how tough of a fight and how he has forgotten the last time he actually shed blood in a fight. before looking up to the behemoth that was goketsu and thinking to himself if goketsu was stronger than choze then this would be a rough time.

"Woah that monsterization stuff was pretty good, they powered up a lot." suiryu remarked to the tall giant.

"You know…it would be a waste to kill you. I'm giving you a final chance to change sides, if you eat one of those cells I'm sure you would become a strong monster in the upper echelon of the monster association, maybe even a cadre like myself. With that in mind it's not a bad deal, the humans time on this planet is over as a monster you could live freely as you please, things such as money, law, government, and authority will no longer apply. Individual strength will be the only thing that matters with your strength. You could do what you want, not many would have the strength to challenge it, run wild, kill, incite violence anything you ever wanted. Isn't that the world you wish to live in?" goketsu tried to persuade and for a moment he believed it worked as suiryu picked up the monster cell much to the other martial artist disibliefe

"You may be on to something, it doesn't matter what type of society I Live in as long as I can have fun right?" suiryu remarked as he opened his mouth to eat the monster cell but before he could he threw the thing directly into the monster's face before jumping up at the creature hoping the act would catch him off guard and allow him to get the fist move in which was his void sky dragon fist.

"As I said before, I won't become a monster like you because I would be one ugly MF… so past!" he remarked as he launched his attack but even as his attack was in motion, he was suddenly slammed down into the ground by a tremendous force, he has never been hit so hard in his entire life as his body went sailing towards the ground crashing into the arena and make him puke up a spew of blood.

"What gives? I thought you wanted to fight? Get up, I'll give you three seconds." Goketsu remarked as he counted and once he got to three he was prepared to stomp down on the martial artist which sprung up ad quickly jumped up towards the monsters head launching out with multiple punches directly into the creatures eye but the attacks didn't even phase the monster which stood their letting him do it.

"That's right, fight like your life's on the line." Goketsu remarked before reaching out with his hand to grab the martial artist, suiryu quickly jumped out of the way back towards the stadium floor. Suiryu was happy that he could still keep on his feet and move but he couldn't take another attack like that again, what's worse goketsu didn't even bat an eye (literally) to any of his attacks. Now what can he do but before he could think about that behind him he noticed that the crows have started to make their move against the martial artist none of them stood a chance against the large creature as they clobbered them but a chill went up his spine when goketsu voice suddenly rang out right next to him.

"Don't look away from me." goketsu menacing voice rang out and it was all suiryu could do but block the punch headed in his direction he felt the bones in his left arm shatter upon contact and the bones in his right arm shake with the exertion but what truly surprised him through the pain was that the lare monster was just gone out of sight and that voice again ranged out behind him again. Again giving him three seconds to stand up which he barely managed but was soon enough crushed under the large monster foot, he felt his body shudder with the force combined with theweight as he pushed with all his might not to be crushed.

"What's the matter? I'm barely pushing down with my body weight? Get up! You have three seconds. 1….2….3!" goketsu remarked but just as he got to three suiryu unleashed a burst of strength fully lifting the foot from over top of him and pushing his body forwards free and jumping right back at the monster towards its face about to deliver his void quake tiger fist but the attack was stopped with a single hand effortlessly, but that just wasn't another attack but one of his strongest attacks in his arsenal and he caught it effortlessly and that was when the martial aris realize how truly outmatched he was and to make matters worse what the creature did next was purley disrespectful and showed truly how much he was playing with him. As he held onto suiryu fist with one hand he raised him up and then began to pluck away at him multiple times and the shameful part was just those mere plucks were incredibly damaging, the monster unceremoniously dropped him to the ground.

"Come on, stand up you have three seconds." Goketsu remarked and using most of his strength he did so but just as he did he was suddenly kicked in the stomach by the large monster landing him flat on his back again. But he still got up the moment he stayed down and he would die so he needed to keep getting up no matter how hard his body would protest. Suiryu finally realized that he was completely outclassed that the only option he had left was to escape but how? This Gokestu was strong and inhumane. Was this a real monster he thought?

"It seems like this is as far as you go, you lasted longer than the rest of them at least. You done over there? Here you can have this one too, it is better quality feed then the rest of them think of it as a gift." Gokestu remarked as he flicked the standing suiryu towards his crow subordinates, the martial artist gained his second wind as he saw the first crow bearing down on him beak wide, his body whether it be from pure instinct or a sudden second wind began to move again. The three crows were nothing compared to the big guy even with a broken arm and his fatigue and wounds he could still mostly keep pace with them but their teamwork was oddly synchronized and they were still strong enough to hurt him once their attacks inevitably slipped through his guard at his current condition he couldn't beat them and it was only a matter of time before they wore him down enough to kill him.

"Those three were originally my pupils but they lacked strong wills so they completely losted themselves once they monsterized not a shred of their original personalities remain except being subservient to me of course. They're favorite meal are martial artist." goketsu remarked as suiryu battled, he was getting desperate eagerly searching his surroundings for some way out or someone that could help him but it seemed like all of the other martial artist were defeated until he found one of them off to the side, he didn't run away yet and from what he knew of the guy he was supposed to be kinda strong right? The two of them should be able to handle the crows at least and run away.

"bakuzan, you're kind of strong right? Help me out over here so that we can escape.!" suiryu called out to the man for support but he didn't like the crooked smile the man had on his face as he responded.

Bakugo and todoroki was on their way back to the stadium as per the orders of the demon cyborg he wanted to ensure that his masters tournament was not disturbed even though the bastard should be out here handling the mess that been happening all around the city he a hero first a stupid tournament that he wasn't even allowed to participate in should be the last of the bald idiot worries, bakugo thought as him and todoroki made their way back over to the stadium. Todorki was mostly thinking about the executives and why they were getting special treatment in comparison to the rest of the civilians; they had to fight a couple more monsters here and there as they went, each of which were likely killed off later on as the two continued on their way.

As he originally predicted the executive and his daughter were the same girl from the week prior that had wanted him to escort her around in some hope of courting him apparently according to momo. The girl practically leaped into his arms as he arrived there to take them away, but it wasn't till the peck on he cheek when the two got them to the secret bunker that things felt extremely weird for him, the gesture felt so wrong and out of place so much so that he sort of burned it off of him right in front of the girl much to bakugo's enjoyment as he laughed and the girls bewilderment but she couldn't say much of anything as the doors to the bunker closed.

Todoroki himself was puzzled by the act as he continued back, when momo did it it felt so…right? If he could think of a word to describe it. he looked towards the sky as he continued to ponder before his eyes hardened at first the uniqueness of the clouds before narrowing even further at the two dots that were falling from the sky, he singled for bakugo to come with him as he noticed that the two dots were actually people. Reacting quickly both bakugo and todoroki went over to save the individuals todoroki took the blonde one that he realized was max and bakugo took the other which once he realized was snek and he was a bit closer to the ground unceremoniously dropped to the ground which made the hero spring up with some renewed energy.

"What the hell? you half pint!" snek yelled at bakugo

"Shut Up! Be grateful I saved your sorry ass in the first place!" bakugo yelled back and continued to bicker and argue as Todoroki and Max discussed what happened to them.

"Monster attacked the arena, they claimed to be there to "turn" us into monsters." max said surprising todoroki and overhearing their conversation completely jogged back their memories of the current circumstances as both max and snek dashed back into the stadium, leaving a stunned bakugo and todoroki in their wake, who went into follow right after them but todoroki slowed his movements as his phone began to ring it was from the association.

"Frozen-phoenix come in! Have you made it to the super stadium yet?" the female supervisor remarked in a panic tone.

"Yes…we have made it. Going off information from the heroes present lighting max and snek , the monsters were targeting the martial artist specifically. Is there a problem?" todoroki questioned looking towards bakugo who stopped as well.

"Demon cyborg had gone to intercept a large monster that had entered the city but we lost contact soon after the two came into contact until now he has reported that the monster had defeated him and that said the creature is threat level dragon, we have immediately called for backup support from the association but it will take time for it to arrive so…if you engage it please be careful." the operator said in a clearly nervous tone.

"Understandably, we will attempt to keep our distance if possible but we will still try to evacuate the martial artist." Todoroki remarked simply.

"Alright just be careful…oh there was another thing that the demon cyborg said, he said that the monster was stronger than something called carnage kabuto? I believe. He also said that multiple S-class heroes may be needed to face him or if you are able to find his master before fighting." the operator remarked and Todoroki gave one more confirmation before the line went dead. He slowly took his phone down back into his pocket as him and bakugo shared a glance between each other as todoroki filled him in on what had happened but even despite that the two raced inside.

Max and snek were just about ready to come back to the stage having been suiting up with their hero equipment but as soon as the two crossed the entrance of the locker room a wall of ice suddenly blocked their path.

"What gives!" Max rang out in astonishment at the wall of ice.

"Don't tell me you two are with them?" snek seconded

The wall of ice was soon quickly after broken open with an explosion making both heroes shield their eyes and for a moment and for a second prepare for battle as if the two were going to attack them.

"Just shut up and listen, you two idiots just need to know what you're dealing with before we go back in there, we don't need you two to get kicked back into the sky again." bakugo remarked roughly.

"The large monster that likely did that to you, it defeated demon cyborg before getting here, with his information we can now clarify the monster as a dragon level threat." Todoroki said and the two heroes looked at them as if that was all they had to say.

"Well no duh Sherlock, we both fought a demon before and the way that thing hit us was incomparable." snek remarked simply beginning to move past them but bakugo halted the man.

"You're talking about the deep sea king freak right? Well this thing is on a completely different scale than that, we need a plan we can't just move in there blindly.`` Bakugo said and the two pros started to listen.

"We need to have an objective, we can't beat the monster so we need to focus on rescuing anyone still in danger." Todoroki said and the two pro heroes nodded as they continued to come up with some sort of plan of what they could do.

---

Suiryu was getting pressured by the crows even more sensing his waning stamina that idiot bakuzan let his stupid pride get the best of him and ate the rest of the monster cells so even if he wanted to join them he couldn't the only solace would be in the fact that the guy was dead for his troubles idiot got rejected by the monsters themselves serves him right he thought but his loose concentration was about to cost him as one of the crows dived down at him ready to skewer him on his beak but lucky for him he was saved by none other than snek? Which was quickly followed up by an attack by lighting max that burned the bird and back it off.

"Snek? Lighting max? You're alright? But then…why? Why did you come back?" suiryu asked, the two shared a glance between each other before giving the obvious answer.

"To help." they both answered like it was obvious.

"This isn't a tournament we're both fully equipped this time around, this snake skin suit isn't just regular this was forged from a snake monster it's strong against monster claws, fangs, and beaks." snek remarked pointing to his jacket.

"And I'm wearing my lighting shoes, with these I can really show what I'm made of." lighting max said.

"But we're facing three of them. " snek said

"Can you take one suiryu?" max asked

And together as the three crows charged at them the three martial artists counter attacked, all three crows received a fatal blow from the attacks, burned, torn in half, and gutted. Gokestu just viewed the scene with a smidge of contempt; those technically were still his pupils even if they weren't worth much of anything as their corpses passed right by him and slid slowly to the floor.

"Thanks for the help, but we should go…I can still move so lets retreat for now." suiryu remarked as he turned to leave and walk back a couple of feet but was shocked when he didn't hear the footsteps of the heroes following along he was shocked when he turned back and saw that the two didn't move, he tried to call out to him but it was fruitless they didn't budge he knew that goketsu was crazy fast so they likely wouldn't be able to escape just by running but these two…they were weaker than he was and they must see how he turned out against that monster but here they were showing no sign of fear standing their ground just to give him a chance to escape, is this what that bald guy was talking about is this what heroes truly are?

He thought as he went to step away continue to runed back around he suddenly saw two things thrown over his head directly at the monster and a bright flash of light was heard as another voice call out to him for him to come this way, it was someone else he didn't know exactly who but he could tell it was a member of the non-killing army did more heroes arrive? Could he be saved, he thought for a brief moment before his vision was completely obscured by a large dark mass, he could only think about raising his arm in defense as the large mass kicked him back towards the stage it was goketsu he moved again with such insane speed that the two heroes behind him didn't even realized he moved until suiryu landed on top of snake cushioning his fall.

"What the hell? Where did he go?" Max remarked suddenly as he turned around and spotted the monster still barely trying with its arms folded. Todoroki, which was next to the stage was embedded into the outerwall but he was still breathing and was just pulling himself free.

"So more of you mongrels came, huh? But it unfortunate that it had to be one of you." goketsu remarked simply turning to look at the teen, suiryu seeing no better chance needed to run and get away all his mind and body could think about was running the heroes could fight that thing or die trying for all he cared, he could still move so he put all his power into his legs to jump up and out of the roof of the stadium but a sudden dark shadow covers him and he looked up into the air to see none other than…bakuzan?

"Where do you think you're going? This is just getting fun!" the large monster bakuzan yelled as in that next moment all suiryu could feel was pain as he was slammed down into the ground the impact of his fall scatter both max and snek over by goketsu, monster bakuzan landed down right next to the downed suiryu ad briefly glanced up to look at goketsu.

"This kid is mine to kill. If you get in my way I'll kill you too." bakuzan remarked that making goketsu narrowed his eyes at that.

"I'll discipline you for your impudence later, you're a splendid success. You're likely a dragon level threat like me and stronger than a S-rank hero." Goketsu remarked and bakuzan who was a similarly massive monster about 34 feet tall with four arms and massive spikes growing out of different protons of his body began to laugh wickedly.

"You hear that suiryu!? I'm stronger than you! Ooh! Are you still trying to stand!? Don't bother!" bakuzan yelled as he slammed his fist down again and again, rapidly punching down at the puny martial artist laughing all the while at his increased strength and feeling of invincibility. It was euphoric.

Suddenly coming down from above several large explosion detonated off of bakuzan stopping his barrage short for just a moment as he looked towards the sky but due to the sun overhead he could see much of anything and it was almost if the sun was suddenly started to shine brighter in his eyes completely blinding him but all of a sudden the shine completely vanished and the next thing he heard was a crash as something landed in the stadium stans, goketsu had turned around from him and was looking in that direction before holding his hands up.

"You can play with that kid all you want. I don't care but I'll deal with the others." Goketsu remarked looking down at the heroes present todoroki has finally recovered from the hit he gave him and bakugo stood up from being thrown from across the stadium.

"If you want to save that man you'll have to get through me to do it." gokestu said simply his hands still folded, bakugo was the first to attack, launching multiple AP-autocannon shots straight to the creature's face but the creature did not move from his spot nore shield his face merely letting the attack wash over him. As the smoke cleared the monster's eyes weren't even focused on him but todoroki instead.

"Your class S right? Come show me your power." Gokestu remarked and todoroki did charging up in his phosphorus white form before unleashing his heaven piercing ice wall the massive collum of ice that Just appeared in front of the teen was just as quickly blown completely away as the monster in front of him finally unfurled it's arms and waved it''s arm in front of him completely stopping the ice with a massive wind wave that sent both him and max and snek flying backwards or it would have if he didn't cushion the blow by summoning more ice behind him. He was shocked when the monster almost seemed to manifest itself right up close to them, and snek was suddenly sent careening to the left by some sort of invisible force that he didn't quite see only seeing the result of the man knocked unconscious as he laid imbedded into the concrete of the stadium wall unmoving he had an head injury of some kind as his blood spilled down from his hair but he appeared to be breathing but for how long he couldn't tell, he would likely have many internal injuries unless that snakeskin suit was much stronger than it appeared to be but forgetting the that the sudden shout of max, who was currently inside being held like a toy in the monster grip as it continued to stare at him.

"I know that you're listed as one of the weaker ones but is that truly all the S-class has to offer?" goketsu said ignoring the hero thrashing in his pinch even the hero electrics that he attempted to attack him which were completely ignored as the monster barely felt them but he guessed he was annoyed enough by it that he finally decided to toss the hero again high and out of the stadium bakugo immediately attempted to fly off and recover the hero but again it was almost as an invisible force completely spiked him into the ground..this monster couldn't be that fast right? It almost seemed impossible to fathom that something that large can move so fast. Bakugo was in crater near the monsters feet and for once the monster looked down at the angry blonde, even from that one hit bakugo was completely discombobulated and breathing heavily as he tried to stand up.

"That was nothing but a love tap, get up you have three seconds. 1….2.." goketsu was saying before the blonde quickly moved out of the way of his stomp, but not only that quickly turning around and using his time bomb attack full force on the monsters face and todoroki was right there with a follow up attack using a wall of flames at the head height of the monster to quickly set the nitroglyerince off, the explosion was large but the monster still remained standing their stock still almost unaffected as it simply blew away the smoke created by the explosion.

"Bakugo we can't beat this guy." Todoroki remarked in a bleak tone.

"Well I'm sure hell not going to run away." was bakugo immediate response as the two of them were in clear view of what was happening behind the monster to the one slightly smaller monster pummeling that martial artist into the dirt, they didn't even know if he was still alive or not but they wouldn't abandon him as long as there was a chance for them to save him. The two could only hope that max was ok from wherever he was just thrown as both teens launched back at the large monster fighting it with their full force.

Both todoroki and bakugo were barely conscious there bodies broken as they sat on completely opposite end of the stadium high up in the stands unable to stand up, goketsu was completely fine as he stared at the two of them, they were to what he expected he wondered why the order was given for them and their little posse but nonetheless and speaking of orders, a floating green eyeball with wings flew down next to him.

"Goketsu what are you doing? It's time to leave! If multiple S-class heroes arrive here even you would have a tough time." the eyeball spoke out.

"Don't underestimate me Gyoro-Gyoro, but It's getting boring here so I am finished. Hey new guy, what's your name? I'm taking you to the monster association let's go.`` Gokestu remarked to the monster who finally looked up from his prey.

"Huh? No one gives the legendary bakuzan orders!" bakuzan remarked simply

"Listen bakuzan, monsterization makes you feel invincible but you are not if you take that type of attitude up with the monster king he will crush you like a bug." goketsu said simply.

"Monster king?" bakuzan questioned

"Monster king orochi he is the strongest monster, no likely the strongest being on this planet, no one on this planet is stronger. And just so you know there exist several monsters stronger than you which includes me, but you are strong, likely to be comparable to an applicant cadre." goketsu said

"Hehehe! I'm the strongest! " bakuzan said before lashing out with a punch this that was easily dodge before grabbing a hold of the larger monster with his two other hands and launching out with an spiked elbow strike that was caught by the larger monsters to fingers, this infuriated bakuzan even more as he launched out with a number of attack with all four of his arms but the larger monster merely blocked all of it with a single arm deflecting each strike the mere force of the deflection sent him off his feet and careening into the stands which he quickly recovered from and attack again but only the same result happened, the bastard was only using one hand and he had the audacity to call him cocky? Bakuzan thought but his thoughts was immediately halted as a monstrous punch passed by his head he didn't know if it was the monster cells in his body or his training as a martial artist but that was all it took as the stadium behind him completely busted open with crack, his will to fight completely left him.

"Listen, this is an organized strike to announce our existence in preparation for the final battle, there are many other monsters attacking all the cities concurrently and the association is struggling to keep up, but the time is up and the monsters are returning back to base. The heroes will gather and attack the monsters that are left. You're strong but you can't take on the full force of the hero association… you seemed to be having fun fighting that kid but I warned you and now I'm leaving. Find us on the outskirts of Z-city`` Goketsu remarked before moving past the monster into the whole he made into the stadium, he stopped once he realized that someone was there.. Interesting he thought despite bleeding from all over his body and his undoubtedly broken bones the explosive teen still wanted to fight him.

Bakugo couldn't let things stand as it were he couldn't let this monster go free, he activated his arms mode and his body was instantly shrouded in a matter of hot steam making his sweat glands completely work in overdrive, he launched out of the steamed mist directly at the creature and used his ultimate techniques combined with one another cluster howitzer impact and explosive cannon times twelve as he expected of the monster he knew that it wouldn't have dodge or attempted to block his strike so he had a clear shot at the creature's head and the ensuing blast was large almost like a mirror to the air pressure of his own fist and completely blew out the back of the stadium, bakuzan actually dodged out of the way of the attack much to the bakugou's annoyance as this would be his final attack likely for the say as he felt his arms shake in pain but that paled in comparison to the pain he felt as a large knee struck his body followed quickly by a giant crushing hand that wrapped around his body making him stair in the face of the monster that seemed completely fine despite the attack just now if not some of his hair maybe being singed off and a couple of smudge marks on his face, through the crushing griped bakugo glared violently at the beast before he finally succbmed to his injured and lost conciousness.

"Gyoro-Gyoro I'm taking this one back with us, I like the look in his eyes. Oh and new guy as I said before you can rampage all you want however..don't kill any of the non-killing army members just yet, we have plans for them.'' Goketsu remarked before walking off with bakugo in hand.

"You hear that suiryu? The monster association has a lot of monsters, some even stronger than me. It's funny isn't it? I was so confident in myself but that single punch from goketsu put everything into perspective for me and some monsters are even stronger than him. It's almost laughable now, yeah I'm done aiming to become the strongest. `` Goketsu remarked as he saw the other monster leave.

"Listen bakuzan….you and I don't have a reason to be enemies….I can't fight anymore…if you surrender yourself to a non-killing army I'm sure the association would accept you with open arms….your strong they're going to need you.. You could maybe even… be the strongest hero. They will give you…. everything you want." suiryu said through half-breath as he simply lied in the crater ground. Bakuzan paused for a moment almost as if considering his proposal, he turned his head to the two other heroes in the stadium, snek and the one in the daughters which was the other one and then turned to the two holes in the stadium the one done by gokestu and the other one done by that teen with explosions the appearance was similar only in effect the nature of the attacks couldn't have been more clear between them the boy likely used one of his strongest attacks to do that while goketsu merely did so from the air pressure of his punch alone and still did more damage. Bakuzan looked back down at suiryu before he started to laugh.

" Idiot, did you hear what goketsu just said? You think I'll join the heroes…haha! When there exists the monster king!? You must have some serious brain damage if you seriously thought that was going to sway me, no…you see monsterization awoken something in me, it allowed me to truly see who I am.(he picked up suiryu by the hair) you see I only sought strength to torment those weaker than me and with the monster association I can do that as much as I like!" bakuzan said with a large wicked grin and suiryu knew right then and their that their was just no reasoning with the monster as he bit the biggest bullet he had the entire day and pulled from the monster grip on his hair causing it to tear a large chunk off, his body had his third or fourth second wind of the day before he just started to hobbel away his mind told him that it was likely a fruitless endeavor but his body and spirit didn't care he needed to at least try but for his efforts the monster completely broke whatever trance he had to keep him moving as a sudden chopp to the back of the head completely took the energy out of him as finally let himself scream out in pain as he laid more chops into both of his legs much to bakuzans delight. Suiryu maid one last pathic chance to let the monster spare him and for a moment in time he thought that it worked, bakuzan had moved off his shadow disappearing but his faith was crushed as it soon returned he struggled to raise his head enough just to find that the monster had opted to go over into the stand and grab the second non-killing army member that was their as he held him in his grip like a toy.

"Use this guy as an example if you and your friends try to oppose us. I don't know what their plans are for you, but if you refuse, don't think you won't end up just like this!" bakuzan remarked as he pulled back two of his arms and thrusted it forwards but in the very next moment everything just froze… not just bakuzan but the entire stadium as well, the air around the place became incredibly thin as Tododroki finally stored up enough power through it all, he had entered into his phosphorus white form and was building up his strength for another attack but after hearing the pure sadistic nature of the monster still in the stadium something just flipped for him as he was about witness this monster killing this person directly in front of him he chilled his body to the lowest point remembering how his body felt when that bean sprout froze him and unleashed absolute zero freeze and when he finally opened his eyes he was shocked at what he was seeing everything around him was frozen not just the monster he intended but everything around the area as well. But what truly surprised him was the fact that he was hot? No he was incredibly hot…he could barely breathe as his breath came out with pure steam even while he was in phosphorus white and unleashed such a large scale ice attack.

After finally managing to squeeze his way out of the monster grip and drop to the ground he had to brace himself as he touched the icy arena below given his bad legs he still ended up slipping and ended up on his hands and knees but he still quickly hobbled over to the now frozen martial artist his body was still completely on fire for some strange reason but he continued nonetheless and quickly swapped to his phosphorus red form to thaw the man out, his reaction was almost instantaneous as he coughed and coughed before looking at him and the frozen monster behind him.

"You…you." he said each word out of his mouth was met with a frosty exhale of breath as the martial arthritis found it even hard to breath at the moment.

"Are you ok?" Todoroki tried to ask calmly as he continued to dethaw him and warm him up he tossed a cursory glance to snek seeing that he was also completely frozen into the wall of the stadium…was he truly that careless about his power he thought for a moment before a sudden shiver ran completely down his spine as something was heard behind him. No.. it just wasn't possible to think that something could move when each of his molecules should be frozen solid. Did his ice not penetrate deep enough? but the sudden chop across his body told him everything he needed to know in that moment and even more pain flooded his systems as blood erupted from his mouth as he hit the icy wall of the stadium. The monster to his utter horror started to move again; the attack he just endured was nothing but a side effect of its wild thrashing as its body moved around sporadically to warm itself up and generate heat.

"Ah! You bastard that was cold! I'm still shaking! I should have known from that other one that you probably had some trick up your sleeve." bakuzan remarked as he stepped and fully freed himself from the ice and stretched all of its arms

"I should probably kill you now, I know you and your friends are going decline the offer to join and I'll enjoy being the first to torture them all before killing them." bakuzan said with a hearty laugh and todoroki despite his pain and bruises was able to stand to a knee as he stared down in thought about the creatures words..he thought of his friends midoriya, Iida, uraraka, asui….momo. And he found an inner strength to rise again on his two feet glaring at the monster with a silent fury as it continued to laugh, he threw both of his arms backwards and exclaimed those words he believed he would never utter in his life. prominence burn! The fire that exited Todoroki at that moment was not his standard red flames but blue flames but he didn't let that stop him as he poured it on and his body began to get colder as he did so. the attack was aimed upwards toward the creature's chest and head and engulfed him completely even by passing him going towards the upper portion of the arena and completely melting the stage and causing some of the benches in the stands to either combust in flames or melt into slag. But the only thing Todoroki saw after another moment was a large hand emerge through his flames and open palmed and completely smack him into the wall along with all the energy left in his body as he fell unconscious.

That ice affected bakuzan more than he thought it did , slowing him down just enough to get hit by that flame blast the bastard actually burned him and that actually hurt, he thought as he retracted his hand from the teens body oh what he would wish to be able to kill the kid right now but he will follow orders he will bring him back to the monster association and once they were done with him he would kill him then but for now he had another person he could take his anger out on and besides he had to give the teen some credit despite him being burned somewhat at least he wasn't cold anymore at least not his top half at least and he went through the effort of thawing out his prize, good killing someone screaming for help was always be better than destroying a frozen statue he thought as he turned around and slowly made his way over back to suiryu who was attempting to crawl away screaming for help all the meanwhile but nobody was coming to save him he must know the other monster are keeping the heroes busy and he ensured that the teen wouldn't get up again.

"There is no more hope for you. DIE!" bakuzan remarked slamming his fist into the ground where suiryu was but confusion instantly clouded his features as he didn't feel any of the blood or body parts stain his hands and to confirm he retracted his hands to only see the martial artist just gone. He turned around to see that suiryu was now next to the unconscious teen and in front of him was a man in a strange costume.

"Who are you?" bakuzan asked

"I'm a hero, suiryu I heard your cries for help, you and todoroki did well all on your own, but leave the rest to me." the bald man remarked as he stepped towards the towering monster.

since you all will be getting less product during the months, I'll be looking to increase the quality of the product being given, to that end I'm looking for beta readers for the next couple of chapters. I do not know a lick of how to go about doing that but if anyone knows someone or are one themselves feel free to pm me so we could work something out in that regard I will likely in the meanwhile be probably checking over the chapters more thoroughly using some other forms of checkers and stuff of that nature.
