Hello my readers! Some nice days we're having, aren't they? Anyway, how are any of doing? Well, i don't have anything else to say so let's go with the response.

To Exodus12345:well yes, there is Mizuki (who is Shinko's love interest), but her actual debut in the story will have to wait (there are still a few chapters between this one and that one). Also, referring to Shinko and Saitama sparring, i can't spoiler anything, but i can tell that it was originally planned (i'll explain the details later).

You guys already know that OPM doesn't belong to me, but i wanted to say it with a joke next to it.

Anyways, enough of my ramblings. Onto the chapter!

Saitama, Genos and Shinko finally found the hideout and stared at the eight-story building.

'So this is the place...' Shinko thought as Genos whipped his incinerators at the ready.

"W-wait! Let's first check the building! Someone could be there!" Shinko said as he put a hand on the cyborg's arms.

He wanted to see if the doctor worked alone or, in the worst cases, had any prisoners to use as test subjects.

"Yeah, let's see what they have in store for us" Saitama agreed, but for vastly different motives.

"As you say, teacher" Genos said respectfully.

"don't call me 'teacher'" Saitama said annoyed.

"As you say, sensei" Genos replied ever so respectfully.

"Don't call me 'sensei' either" Saitama said ever so annoyed.

As the two approached the ominous building several weapons (a lot of M16s and a rocket launcher) appeared and emptied their ammo racks on the two intruders.

Genos' eyes widened as the explosion took place, but then was not really surprised to see his sensei and Shinko unarmed (the latter keeping the rocket with his left hand).

"Ok Genos, i don't think there's anyone in the building, you're free to blast it!" said Shinko, who was now trying to figure out what to do with the rocket as Genos blasted the building to smitten.

While Saitama and Genos found a secret trapdoor, Shinko heard a rustling in a nearby bush and went to check out the source of the sound.

"Beast King! Mountain Dragon! How nice to see you here!" Shinko greeted the two monsters, the former greeted back and the latter retreated quickly.

"Hey! Don't put that thing close to me!" Mountain Dragon screeched, pointing at the still-active rocket.

Shinko turned and immediately remembered the problematic situation he was in.

"I was just thinking about how to get rid of it..." Shinko admitted while scratching the back of his head embarrassed.

"Just toss it in the forest!" Mountain Dragon said with an annoyed tone, throwing his claws in the air.

"That could cause a forest fire" Beast King somberly pointed out.

Then Shinko had an idea:he grabbed both ends of the rocket (the flames doing no damage to his palm) and then crushed it in his palms, the explosion dying quickly between his hands.

"Good, now that you wasted time can you get on with this and follow the other two? They're already ahead of you!" Mountain Dragon pointed out and Shinko, looking behind, realized the oversized mole was right and hurried after Genos and Saitama.

Alone, the two monsters had a conversation regarding the situation at hand.

"Do you think that kid can defeat Carnage Kabuto?" asked Mountain Dragon a bit worried.

"I think he'll be fine" The Beast King sighed "Besides, there are other two who can help him if things go south".

"I just hope Kabuto doesn't come to the surface and kill us" Mountain Dragon replied as the two waited for their other two teammates.

Shinko reached Saitama and Genos in the underground corridor.

"What took you so long?" Genos asked but did not wait for a reply as his scanners suddenly picked up something "Caution, i sense two beings approaching fast and one on them is not human".

The tunnel began to rumble and two figures were revealed:a hulking bug-like monster and a pretty-beat-up human on his right who Shinko assumed was Genus.

"So the human you want is on the right? You won't need the one on the left then" Carnage Kabuto said as he prepared himself to punch Genos.

Before the hit could collide Genos was pulled back by Shinko who, with a nod from the cyborg, threw him in front of Kabuto and punched his face repeatedly with thrusters activated, executing a more powerful Machinegun-Blows.

"How do you like that!" said Shinko proudly as the punch connected, but his jaw immediately dropped when Kabuto swatted Genos away like nothing.

"Pretty weak if you ask me" replied Kabuto smugly "Anyway the cyborg's broken shit and you bald man wait here" Kabuto sneered on the other two and then continued like nothing. "Kid, there's a fighting room at the end of the tunnel so let's go there, shall we?" he then finished as both Genos and Saitama glared at Kabuto.

X X X

"This is the biggest room in the facility" Kabuto proclaimed as he opened his arms in the fighting room.

Shinko glared at the huge opponent and said "The others told me that you're probably going on a killing spree if get out of here, right?"

"Damn straight!" Shouted Kabuto as he got in a fighting stance "Now with that out of the way..." Kabuto sprinted towards his opponent "...LET'S KILL EACHOTHER!" he loudly declared as he prepared to pound an unmoving Shinko in the ground.

'Yeah, come hit me, let's how well that works for you' Shinko thought, preparing make a hole in the powerhouse's chest when his guard would be at his lowest.

Kabuto was going to punch Shinko and seal his fate, but he made a realization and back-pedaled hastily.

'Did he predict my attack?!' Shinko thought surprised as he thought he underestimated his opponent's intelligence.

Kabuto pinned himself on the wall sweating, his senses going crazy from the invisible pressure.

'That was a really close one! If i had gone any closer he would have killed me!' Kabuto thought panicking.

And then, livid with rage, shouted "You motherfucker! How the hell did you get this strong?!"

Shinko, initially surprised by the sudden outburst, prepared himself to tell him since nobody would believe him anyway.

He told them about his training routine, his struggle with bananas and his fights with monsters.

Nobody (of course, dammit) believed him, but Saitama spoke with a raging roar "How did you NOT lose your hair during that time?! I lost them after one year and a half!"

"Well, my theory is that his continuous consumption of bananas, along with the cut on his training regimen, has stopped his hair from depleting that quick, while also regenerating them and strengthening them" doctor Genus said, trying to make sense out of the nonsensical situation.

"THIS IS UNFAIR!" screamed Saitama angrily, but his voice blended in the background as Shinko turned himself to face Carnage Kabuto, who seemed to be undergoing a transformation, while laughing maniacally.

"If you don't want to reveal your little secret it's fine, really!" said Carnage Kabuto with an evil smile plastered on his face as he started to grow in mass with an evil smile plastered on his face "I think you're probably not that stronger than me anyway, so behold my Carnage mode!" The mass of muscle shouted as the outer shell began to break, his muscles swelling and revealing bulging green veins and his colour changed to a dark purple.

"When i go in this form, i'll break everything around me for a whole week!" Carnage Kabuto shouted as Saitama raised an eyebrow 'A whole week? But today is saturday...' he thought deeply as dark realization started forming deep in his head.

The now transformed beast punched Shinko, but he caught his wrist, lifted him in the air and slammed him on the ground.

Carnage Kabuto was not finished as he rolled to a crouching position and tried to skew Shinko with his gigantic horn.

Shinko, in turn, grabbed it between his left arm and forearm, landed on his head and slammed Kabuto's face in the hard concrete with his right foot, successfully detaching the horn from the body.

Shinko then grabbed it with the left hand and crushed it in half as Carnage Kabuto stood glaring at him.

"You little shit!" Carnage Kabuto shouted as he charged Shinko again and got sucked in the ribs, but didn't care one bit, even as numerous somethings broke there.

The two continued like this for some minutes, Kabuto getting more damaged at every hit.

After the fourth hit the hulking monster shouted "GRAAAH! Now i'll finish you off!" and jumped in the air preparing to reduce him to a smear on the soon-to-be-destroyed floor.

'I agree' Shinko thought as he reared his punch, preparing a devastating attack as well.

Carnage Kabuto roared as he fell on Shinko, but the latter's punch met Carnage Kabuto's and released a powerful shockwave:it cracked the ground beneath Shinko's feet, obliterated the monster's arm and shoulder and destroyed more layers of ceiling as it created its way up.

Out in the open the two monsters were getting impatient.

"Has the battle finished yet? It's taking some time..." Mountain Dragon said, his voice impatient and wary at the same time.

"I'm sure he's fine, we just gotta wait here..." Beast King said calmly.

Just as he said that the ground far from them exploded and a powerful shockwave rose from the ground pulverizing the side the mountain and blowing the trees in the opposite direction.

"Can we take that as 'fine'?" asked a wide-eyed Mountain Dragon.

"Probably" replied a just-as-surprised Beast King.

Genus could not believe his eyes as Carnage Kabuto got lauched aside...

"How is this possible?!" he asked aloud.

"Because your evolution through engeneering is wrong because humans have the power to change themselves!" Genos replied with a serious face, which then turned blank as he added "Or that's what Saitama sensei would say" he then finished as the mentioned person was still trying to make sense of that dark feeling of forgetfulness, while the gears on his head moved.

Kabuto got up and his rage was just beyond limits, so beyond that his body began to counvulse and, as he shouted furiously, all the damage received during the fight became undone as he leered at Shinko.

"You just got your arm back, so what!? You're not going to cause any more havoc!" Shinko shouted.

"If that's so, i'd like to see you try!" the giant charged the small boy while Shinko charged as well.

Then the boy moved his arms as if they were sharp blades, so fast that everyone in the room (But Saitama) couldn't see his arms and landed past Carnage Kabuto.

He would have said some snarky remark but then Saitama shouted "Now i remember! Today was the special sales day!" and the effect of Shinko's attack took place as Kabuto was shredded and exploded.

"Wait sensei! If we are fast enough we won't lose it!" said Genos as the two hastily took off to their new destination.

Shinko then turned around and said to Genus "Oh, i almost forgot! Since one of your minions damaged Saitama's wall, you'll have to pay for that!" the fluffy boy then took off as well.

The not-so-mad-anymore scientist was lthen eft all alone until he was patted on the shoulder by a large claw.

"I guess it was to be expected" said the Beast King as Mountain Dragon added "Now what are we gonna do?"

"I say we start with a different approach" Genus said somberly as he remembered the genetically-modified octopus that he was keeping in the basement.

He was planning to make it into a powerful fighter to conquer the seas, but could they use it instead as an infinite food supply and start all over again?

"How does takoyaki sound?" Genus asked his minions, but before anyone could answer Slugerous, Frog Man and Armored Gorilla arrived, the pink monster sweating and panting.

"Ok...we're finally here..." Slugerous said with a groan, but stopped as he saw the large holes in the wrecked facility and Carnage Kabuto's shredded body.

"We were just discussing about what to do about it" Genus said to the others.

And that was it! Another chapter left and the story can actually go smoothly. Apart from that, i really thank you all of you guys for the support you're showing me.

Next chapter is going to be pretty different, but i think you'll like it...
