Well, Genos spent helping people who needed to learn more technical and scientific things, and Saitama spent helping people to train physically and in a weird sense coming to understand themselves, to the point that they knew why they needed to do all this training but in a more meaningful manner to each of them. Piccolo was thinking and was quite vocal in his opinion that it would take no less than fifty years to get someone like Goku to understand some of this stuff, Kami told him to stop being so negative about it and that he was only saying that because he still held a grudge about his defeat at that world martial arts tournament, to which Piccolo was willing to admit that was true, among other things.
It took all of them one year to complete their training, Yamcha joked that since he completed his training it only meant he had some free time, so he decided to help Gohan and his buddies, "You might not notice this, but I am not a guy that is into reading stuff I don't have to, but hell yes, I will jump at the chance to help my friends, so come on, let me help them and maybe just maybe, I can help say Krillin out, honestly he needs as much help as I did when before I read those books, and got through my training."
After one year of helping them train, educating them, helping them, and in some cases helping them deal with emotional troubles and traumas, honestly getting Gohan to control his rage was something that gave them the most problems, Chi-Chi didn't want to believe it, but during one of the spars against Saitama, Saitama decided to really push his buttons, and it sure didn't take long to get Gohan royally pissed off, no finesse, no strategy, Gohan was practically covered by something that looked like an energy cloak around him made of pure rage, and he didn't want to spar, he wanted to cave Saitama's skull in. That is when his mother saw this and realized that those two who she didn't trust were right.
She understood why this was so critical and asked him what was wrong with her son, Saitama told her that it was the initial stages of his untapped hidden potential being unleashed, and much like Goku, he too needed to train and master to control his rage to master that untapped hidden potential. She finally came to understand that this was necessary and without this training, Gohan could have lost control and killed someone or several people. She apologized for how she treated Saitama and his friend before, but Saitama told her that helping Gohan and the others was more important, that is the entire reason why they were doing all this, as he told her before.
"Gohan is going to be an accomplished scientist, prolific writer, amazing fighter, and a hero who is admired as a role model for generations to come, his life will be one that could match or even surpass the ones of heroes of legend, but that can only happen if we let Gohan be Gohan, and simply be content in helping him whenever he needs it, or you could micromanage his life, control every aspect of how he lives. But I think you and Goku need to be supportive, after all, you are family, never mind that he will have his hands full with trying to keep his baby brother out of trouble."
That made her grab Genos and made him look at her face as she glared, as she asked him what does he mean by Gohan's little brother, Saitama could only laugh as he told her that he was talking about a son she would have with Goku later and his name, at least as far as they remember will be Goten. Genos was glad that he never mentioned Pan, dear god, if he did Chi-Chi would have been so pissed that she would have ripped his head off for refusing to give her the name of her future daughter-in-law. As they finally exited the dungeon, Saitama helped the others back to their homes, and as Genos stood there on the outpost he couldn't help but to sigh and mention apparently the wrathful form is a family trait, as he heard Mister Popo laugh and Kami simply say, indeed.
"Come on Vaccine Girl, we need to get back home, We need to help you pick an apartment for yourself, and help you make the place more comfortable for you, if you need our help that is, I know Geno's sister is probably wondering where the hell her brother is. "
Cities where people live at least in the region of the world they live have dropped most common naming conventions, they have dropped any sense of flowery or decorative names, even historical or political, The place where they live is called City Z, long ago it was a bustling city with over a million citizens, shops, businesses, schools and other venues were plentiful and prosperous, at least that was the case before monsters decided to attack the city on mass, people abandoned the city as they evacuated, fleeing for their lives, what was once a lively and seemingly happy city, is currently considered a death trap at worst and a ghost city at best.
Saitama, Genos, and Genoa live in two apartments in one of the long-abandoned buildings, The apartments are small, and cramp, with paper-thin walls, but it is the place they call home, most people would call them no better than a slum, but these three manage to make them into something more comfortable with ingenuity and hard work. If the place had one negative it was that they simply didn't have the keys to the other apartments, but thankfully Genos and his sister were apt at picking locks, and by that I mean they used their bodies to blast and pick the pieces of the door lock and handle, Genos just flat out melted the damn thing off. Nobody is going to complain, they abandoned the place for years, and none have returned to say a thing about it.
The apartment building does have a few conveniences, however, a rather sizeable laundry room, with coin-operated washing machines, dryers, and even a detergent and softener dispenser. The people in charge of the city took off so damn fast, they never bothered to shut off all major utilities, so the apartment building and most buildings around have electricity, water, and sewage lines that actually work. The one major boon according to Saitama however is that the people that owned the local cable company were also faster than the mayor and the city staff to run, because the city also has access to the internet, access to all television channels, and even some sick joke channels that other cities have to pay extra for. That is right, they have free pay-per-view access to things other cities would pay through the nose to be able to enjoy.
To Saitama, it means that he had access to three things he really liked, news to know where bad shit was happening, anime to enjoy while on his few hours of rest time when he is not training, and sometimes while he is training, and online gaming through his console, most kids would lose their minds if they realized that the person who often goes under the user name King is actually the S Class Professional Hero and not just a fan of his. Saitama often ends up playing together with him in free-to-play MMO games, The only downside of playing alongside him, is that thanks to his luck, King gets all the best drops, so Saitama and those who play with him get what is left over.
King usually is particularly brutal when it comes to fighting games, and first-person shooter games, Again, thanks to his luck, he can shoot a simple rifle and end up killing an opponent half a mile away. In those games however those who know better and who will fight against, rage quit faster than people evacuated from City Z. As they finally reached their apartment building, Vaccine Girl wondered how could she regain her power, and how could she help Mother Earth, without killing off the dirty polluting creatures, that prefer to call themselves, humans. She decided to take an apartment on the same floor as Saitama, but for some strange reason, she told them that she would take care of cleaning the place.
She would later come to regret that, the apartment looked fine on the outside, but the second they got the door open, and she went in, let's just say that the person who lived there was not a person who was worried too much about things like cleaning, or recycling, in Vaccine Girl's humble opinion, a pest. She did however have one positive trait or at least beneficial to Vaccine Girl, that is that she never washed her clothes, so instead, she took them off and dumped them on a pile in a corner of the room, and so This means she had to constantly buy new clean pieces of clothing, and she knew that this person was a woman because all these clothes were women's clothing, or at least Vaccine Girl hoped that was the case.
This solved one major problem for her, the problem that Saitama told her she couldn't go walking around naked, so she simply asked if she could put some of these clothes in the washer, just to keep her from asking Saitama, Genos, and Genoa gave her several rolls of quarters just to shut her up. Saitama did it because she would continue to bug him about it so much he couldn't sleep, and Genoa did because she asked if she could borrow some of the clothes that didn't fit Vaccine Girl, Genos did it, because his sister told him to do that, who the hell knew that a full body cyborg woman could use the dreaded puppy dog eyes technique.
"Master you do realize that cactus and other typical desert plants do not require as much water as other plants, don't you?" Saitama told Genos to stop calling him master and that yes, he was aware of this fact, but it was also the only plant that required low maintenance, so he could have even more time for training and dealing with the pathetic chores that the Association sent his way, honestly, in the original timeline I had to find out about most demon class threats or higher through the news. Genos was quick to mention that he was registered to be C Rank Hero and only the executives know differently in the original timeline how strong he was, the ones that sent the information were hired personnel that are the dispatchers who act as communications officers between the heroes and the Association, Genoa was quick to mention that they usually don't send notifications to a C Rank of any monster that is higher than Wolf Level, so sending someone with a Rank of C against a Demon Threat level monster was practically assigning that person to a suicide mission, and that would cause people to lose faith and even dislike the Hero Association, so to keep up their public relations and their funding, they simply don't do that.
Saitama said thank goodness this is not the original timeline then and everyone in the association knows that I refuse to be put in the S-Class Rank and I am getting a lot more missions because of this but they're all still just so boring I wish there was a way to get all of them to become a challenge for me.
All in all Saitama's day was uneventful, downright boring if he was being honest, he went to a grocery store and bought things he needed to stock up on, and as soon as he walked to the cash register and paid for everything, the nice cashier lady asked if he needed help with carrying everything, thanks to the reasonable prices of the store, and the fact he reached the place before the publicized sale ended, he bought quite a bit. Saitama told her not to worry, but as soon as he pointed at the bags of groceries, they simply disappeared, trying to calm her down, he told her they were in his inventory, so there was no problem for him carrying this much if he really wanted to, he could, in fact, carry everything within the store if he really wanted to, including furniture, appliances and even people, the storage capacity of his inventory was after all infinite.
The manager asked him if he could help him do something, apparently, there was some sort of maniac that had been going around the store's parking lot, and he has been tearing cars apart and stealing pieces from the cars, if that wasn't bad enough, he leaves all the parts of the cars that aren't what he wants in a heap in the back of the store, which makes it nearly impossible for them to get a larger delivery truck to deliver goods to their store, that is why the inventory in the store is small items. He knows that it could be a car fanatic who is simply that nuts or could be a monster with a taste for car parts, but he has no other alternative but to ask people if anyone will help him and his little grocery store with this problem.
"No problem, just give me a small discount on that case of sodas over there, and I will take care of this for you. I haven't had a nice cold soda in such a long time, It would be an absolute treat but don't worry, I am not asking for you to give it to me, I will pay for it, just that after all these groceries, I don't think I can at the moment." The manager was so happy to hear that this customer was willing to even try to help him with this problem that he promised that if he got this taken care of, he would have no problem giving him a discount on that case of sodas, and he will even place it in one of the cold item displays so it is nice and cool for him.
The fact is Saitama knew exactly who this person was, and how he became the monster he currently is, obsessed over something as customizing a car, the model of the car he was obsessed with ironically enough was such a horrible model, that it literally caused the company who designed it to go bankrupt. Nobody except crazy and reckless people would buy something that was such a hazard to sit in, much less drive, the transmission was weak and given to causing leaks when struck by rocks that were sent up by the tractions of tires and nearby vehicles, the gas can was poorly located, given it a much higher chance of causing random flames thanks to the fact the electrical wiring of the car was done so poorly it was practically a lighter, the control on the breaks were so built on brute force as the way to stop the wheels that it caused the pads to wear down extremely fast, so if this was a car used regularly for more than two years, the breaks would fail, and could cause the car to lose control, causing a wreck, the crash would cause the transmission to spill all the oil in the transmission shaft, and given the condition of the gas tank, it would follow by a rather loud explosion, causing the car to be blown to pieces, it was excellent design if a person wanted a death trap.
The monster he was about to meet more than likely is a person related to the person who designed the car, or was the designer himself since the model was not that old. This would explain the obsession he had with this particular model, so much so that his entire being became essentially a sentient version of that car, a muscle car that is meant to look impressive to the unaware, but in reality was a disaster waiting to happen. To make matters even worse is that this monster painted itself in bright colors, and had flame design on both sides of its body. Honestly, if the thing had quad exhaust pipes, low rims, and hydraulics, and played La Cucaracha song, this thing would be a Tex-Mex cliche.
The reason this monster had been attacking delivery trucks and other cars coming to the grocery store is simple, the stupid monster needed to do that to get parts, materials, and other essentials to try and repair itself, even as a monster the design of it was so crappy that it would be a junkheap if it didn't cannibalize other vehicles, but if it had just parts it would be one thing, even fluids, like oils and fluids, would be no problem, but the part that upset him was that it also took parts from the people inside the vehicles it devoured, well it chose to kill people as parts for his biological components or so it would seem, but the killing of all those innocent people, was something Saitama chose not to overlook or forgive.
He however would not be as vicious or cruel as some would expect, and he walked towards the monster car, and with a clearing of his voice, he simply asked why would he do something so horrible? The monster was shocked that this person was able to talk to it without any signs of fear, but he was also angry about being asked something so obvious, "I wanted to make the most perfect muscle car, a car that represents absolute power and pride, some joked and mocked me calling my design a mere attempt to create an extension of the driver's dick, I had nothing but trouble designing and testing my car, but nothing worked, and later I was fired by the company for poor performance, but we all know others were jealous of my brilliance, and to make matters worse they sabotaged my design that it is mocked to this day. "
The monster was so furious that the revving of the engine was a clear sign of his pure rage, and the flames almost seemed to come to life as he said, "I would not give up, so I continued to work on the design on my own, I got so obsessed with perfecting my design that I stopped living my life, my wife left me, I lost my home, and working on my car was the only thing left to me, one night I came to realize if people didn't care about my life or my dream, to hell with them, I will complete my great design even if I have to do it with me killing people enough to cause a mountain of corpses, and I woke up one day, and I looked like this, I became the car I designed I was perfect, however, I need parts, and I will destroy and kill anyone or anything that gets in my way."
That was pathetic, truly it seems he was turned into a monster by the very brother of the goddess which they were sent to stop, and it was clear he only did it for his sick amusement, "Well I am here to stop you, but I was planning to ask you if you were willing to stop, and instead being a help to humanity, basically follow the golden rule, but clearly that is not the case, I shall do my best to end you as quickly as possible, that is the least I can do for someone so stupid that they get manipulated this badly. A quick death is the only mercy I can offer you."
The monster stopped moving for a bit and started to laugh, really laugh at what he heard, he began to move closer trying to intimidate Saitama with the difference in size, "You know what, I am going to enjoy using your parts to replace and upgrade my own, you stand right there, and I will drive over to you really fast, and I will kill you so fast, I will put a spit shiny on that chrome dome you call your head." That was not a very smart thing to tell him, he was angry about what it had done before, but insulting him like this made him furious, and without another word, another attempt to make the monster reason, he punched the monster so hard that it went right through the gas cap, and into the gas tank, while pulling an electrical wire, cause the gas tank to ignite and the monster car blew up into pieces.
Saitama looked at the burning wreckage of the monster car, and he was once again cursing his luck, another fight with another monster and this damn fight was so easy, it ended with only one punch yet again, he was beating his fist against the parking lot and screaming his sheer disappointment in how easy it of a fight it was.
Saitama finally walked back to the grocery store manager and was told that he had nothing to worry about, just call the hero association for a clean-up crew to take care of the monster body that remained, The manager and several of the people present were happy that this monster would no longer kill people near their store, maybe more people will now be willing to shop there, since the terror of that monster had driven many of their customers to other stores. Saitama had to laugh to himself thinking that of course, the motive for wanting this monster taken care of in the end was purely economic.
One of the employees was talking to a cashier and said that maybe he could try something different for dinner, he heard from some customers that fried rice with a sunny-side-up egg on top tasted delicious. Saitama had to admit, that did sound good, so he asked the employee the details of the recipe, the employee was happy that someone actually asked him for a recipe, it was quite clear that this employee was very much into learning and preparing new recipes, as Saitama paid for the case of sodas he bought, he was shocked to see the manager didn't get him the case that was sold to the general public, but rather a massive one that was usually sold by the wholesale warehouse where they resupply things for their store.
He said that he got him that to thank him for being one of the few people who was nice to his son, and he decided to tell him a simple warning, to make sure his son doesn't let his desires become an obsession that could take over his mind, or else he might end up like the monster car they were all afraid of, the manager laughed and told him not to worry, his son may be a colossal foodie, but he was known to know moderation, but thanked Saitama for caring as he left and as he walked outside the cashier asked if he would return to the store, to which he laughed and said, "Of course, I will be back, this is my favorite grocery store, you bet I will come back here, can't wait for the next sale flier to come in the mail."
As he finally made it home, he could see that it was a good thing he picked up extra food, there was is female disciple he met during the examination to obtain his rank waiting for him at the entrance to the apartment building, that would be the professional hero that was named Captain Mitsuki, another woman who clearly was her best friend if the way they stood and talking with each other was any indication, as he walked towards them he simply smiled and told them they can do the introductions and talk what he could do to help them over dinner, he bought some extra choice cuts, and since he has some guests, it would only be proper to invite them to join them for dinner, actually they have been waiting for some time so they would be happy to accept his kind invitation.
They stepped through the place and up the stairs to the floor where his apartment was, They were shocked to see a young girl, with purple skin, with a pair of antennae showing through some rather neatly cut hair, "Oh don't worry, that is Vaccine Girl, she is one of our neighbors, she is no danger to you at all, just as you have no reason to kill her, so come on, hey Vaccine Girl I got something that you will really enjoy, so come on sheer up, no need to hide behind me like that. " She finally came out of hiding and greeted the two humans as politely as she could, they were both shocked to see someone they could consider a monster be this sociable, as they exchanged greetings Saitama looked at the two women and simply asked one thing, "I hope you two don't have a problem with having a Pepsi during dinner, cause I got a really good deal on some and I can't wait to crack open a can, it's been ages since I got to drink one." This single question caused every bit of tension between the three of them to evaporate like it was not even there before and Vaccine Girl and the other woman were laughing.
