The story goes up until right after the psycho sister's arc so I guess spoilers for one punch season 3 as well. the alternative path on A03 is to be uploaded later here.

47. Month 5: Bonus: Week 1-2: Time Bomb

Note: you know rereading this debrief I realized they were talking about how humans turning into monsters is somehow a secrete that people don't know about, this literally would be impossible to shield away from the public it makes no sense, especially for an organization that's only three years old, scientist and just social interactions would just have to not exists not to mention family and friends of people that turned into a monster or the monsters themselves almost always yelling out there reason on why they turned into a monster in the first place and sweet mask somehow is surprised by this what? Did he always think he was a monster or something tf that conversation simply doesn't make any sense world building so it's changed a bit to purely be talking about the "God" and his black boxes.

Well enough yapping about the cannon on to the second to last part of the path, see you all next time for the Final chapter! Enjoy!

Month 5: Bonus: Week 1-2: Time Bomb

Unsettling debrief: Sweet Mask, Atomic Samurai, Flash, Zombieman, Pig God, Darkshine, Genos, Metal Bat, Tank Top Master, The Mutants

Conference Room Number 18

"Now then, the reason for today's emergency meeting is, of course. Because of the numerous reports received of unexplained phenomena occurring during the recent mission to wipe out the monster association, There is a high possibility they are related to each other. "The Earth is in trouble," a prophecy. Until we can reconcile all this information and communicate our official position, I asked everyone in attendance to keep all the information exchanged in this room strictly with themselves, is that clear?" Sitch spoke to the audience of S-class attendees and the mutants. He would have hoped that all of the S-class would have appeared for the meeting had participated in the raid, although the turnout was better than he initially expected, so he was pleased, and the things that they were likely to discuss should be kept to the bare minimum, so the smaller assembly was still a blessing in disguise.

The conference room was similar to others, with a large holographic table in the center and a screen in the front for presentations. Given the sheer number of people involved, however, more chairs needed to be situated for the mutants who were seated in the back of the room, while the S-class was seated forward in the center.

"Understood" Genos remarked affirmatively.

"Well, I don't mind, but I don't know why you want to keep secrets this late into the game," zombieman remarked.

"Due to the fact that anyone can turn into a dragon-level monster, as well as the numerous amount of people that would like to use that power for their own ends." Flashy Flash stated.

"It is precisely because of that. We should be certain about information and countermeasures before we make anything public. Even if we announce it now, it could start a very dangerous scavenger hunt that could result in numerous more people becoming infected by God.." Sitch answered

"From the reports we had all of you fill out, it had become increasingly clear that some entity was able to manipulate all of your memories but even your bodies as well. The only ones who claim to have not been manipulated are the mutants, although initially, we had no reason to believe them before their reports offered a guidance tool that helped narrow down the events that had transpired three days ago. However, if we believe that, then these have freighting implications," Sekingar replied.

"Wait a sec? Could you walk me through it step by step? What did they report?" Sweet Mask asked

"Sweet Mask, did you not read the reports from the others?" Flashy Flash asked

"Unfortunately, I was caught in a shoot. I'm just here in an adversarial position, but my schedule is really tight. So just explain it to me briefly if you could; well, I could just have my protegee tell me when I have the time if it does go on for too long." Sweet Mask remarked as he played with his hair in a pocket mirror.

"Well, I guess one thing you would probably like to know is that you died during the battle." A zombieman spoke as he lit a cigarette. The star froze for a moment in time, his pocket mirror falling from his hands and clattering down on the ground as he stared at the two in front of him.

"That's impossible, inconceivable; their minds must have been manipulated as well. There is no chance something like that could happen to someone like myself." Sweet Mask spoke aloud, slamming his hands on the table.

"I believe some of the memories may not be my own, but I could recognize my own face... wrapped up and being carried away. I died." tank top master spoke out.

"Yes, this is something I myself remember, which lends credence to the mutant reports. We also have vocal recordings from the mission to substantiate the claim; in fact, we have all of the vocal recordings thanks to Netih and Child Emperor's machines. Something did indeed happen to you, sweet mask; the gasps of shock from several others present indicate such activities occurring, although none explicitly confirm you dying. You had not spoken in any measure past that point, and Brave Giants recordings of events highlight a fairly telling picture." Sekingar spoke out as he touched the screen. The front of the screen immediately popped, and from it came the sight of multiple bodies on the ground from an elevated position. There, other heroes were spotted, including several that had been lying prone with wraps around them like mummies. Sekingar highlighted those four along with a fifth and sixth individual that had entered the frame a couple of meters away.

"These two individuals are monsters; however, one of them is of prime importance to us and could solve the situation of how you all are still alive at the moment. The monster's name is Phoenix Man; it can raise the dead; presumably, it made a deal afterward to restore all of you in exchange for exemption; the monster's report of events corroborates this video evidence, which was also in the mutant reports." Sekingar spoke… There was silence in the room for several seconds, and Sweet Mask carefully studied the image looked at the screen, and zoomed in. It was him on the ground, however. He knew that he likely wasn't dead; if that were the case, his secret would be revealed. He likely used the monster's powers as a tool to facilitate his own needs, so healing from the wounds he received would not be as far-fetched. Of course, such a brilliant plan he even amazed himself, Sweet Mask thought with a chuckle.

"Very well, I can see how you could draw those conclusions. Who are the other bodies? They are not recognizable to me. And what of the second monster that was with him? "Sweet Mask remarked as he regained his composure; of course, he would not have fallen so easily.

"The other bodies are my comrades... the other sword saints, they helped us in the fighting... It's hard to imagine that they would fall like that, but those are each of them; the monsters must have been pretty tough," Atomic Samurai remarked.

"Yes, we don't know why it decided to switch sides; however, maybe the other monster could have shed light on that. Her hero name was Silver Chain; she left to join the monsters sometime after the invasion, and she supplied information to the mutants, which allowed them to evacuate the child readily. She has yet to return to the hero association, so it was hard to assign her motives; she is a great threat to the public left uncharged," Sekingar reasoned.

"She already did what she set out to do; she won't be trouble for anyone," Bakugo remarked from the back, making everyone face him.

"How do we-"

"What do you mean by that?" Flash remarked that it was a question, but it was more in the shape of a demand to tell everyone. Bakugo cocked a coy smile at the assassin.

"It means what you think it means; a lot of things happened," Bakugo remarked simply with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Was she the one responsible?" was the only thing Flash asked. His voice was demonic in nature, and his bloodlust oozed off him in droves that everyone could feel. Bakugo knew what the ninja was talking about; it wasn't his death, of course, but his hair, Flashy Flash's long gold hair that draped down towards the center of his back, was now hung just above his shoulders. He had to contain himself not to laugh even despite the bloodlust.

"Naw, that was the god creature." Bakugo replied that it was a half-truth; it was him powered by God, and then there was silence for another couple of moments. Flash's blood lust evaporated as quickly as it came as he faced forward once more, his hands entwining on top of the table in the center.

"That brings us back to the discussion at hand: Zombie Man, the monster association Cadre, the homeless emperor that you battled with; would you have any details to share about his unique case of monetization?"

"Yeah, he said that when he was still a human. He was given divine power by something he called God. I wanted to question him for answers, but somewhere during all the fighting, Neith took him out. I do remember, or maybe someone else remembered her words. That said, the information was classified. Meaning that they, along with others, know about this entity." Zombieman replied

"At that time, did you have to hear anything being said to you? Telepathically? I was exploring the hideout and was trapped due to Tatsumaki's meddling. That thing attempted to grant me power, and if I wasn't a proper "vessel," my life would face forfeiture. It was directly in my mind," Flash spoke.

"No, nothing like that... not to me at least." Zombieman replies, shifting his eyes to the teens.

"This sounds very unbelievable; could it have been just a monster instead? Didn't it just be the work of any of the Monster Association leaders? After all, didn't Gyoro-Gyoro's real identity turn out to be a human esper?" A sweet mask stated

"Nah, I believe him What happened has left an impression on me. It was dark; strange clouds were clearing the skies, and the teens flipped out. They were talking about God and how it appeared." Metal back remarked, leaning back in his chair and jerking his head in their direction as he did so.

"I remembered something like that." Pig God said with a raised hand.

"As do I," Darkshine mumbled meekly.

"This wasn't on any of their reports," Sekingar said skeptically.

"Probably because it was classified, right, Sitch? The other person that Zombie Man referred to must have been you. Blast told him to send his regards to you in particular." Flash remarked, looking at him dead in the face, gaining a look of surprise from Sekingar's face. Sitch looked around for a moment before sighing and continuing.

"To tell you the truth, I've been keeping it hidden until now, but... For the past 20 years, Blast has been continuously fighting. This God you all encountered. He, his partner, and a group of many other collaborators. They were searching for a mysterious cube that could turn humans into monsters. It has been handed down over time as a kind of communication device. With God, what would some would call a type of OOpart?

He had been collecting them together with his collaborators. Attempting to analyze them, However, finally, two years ago, while Blast was battling elder centipede, He came into direct contact with God. He refused the transaction of power and pitted himself against God. No one could match that being power; none of the association sensors could even pick it up. Blast retreated but was badly injured, and there he decided it best that only a small part of the association knew, including heroes and employees. After that, he disappeared without giving much of a reason so that he could protect everyone."

"Blast was just searching for countermeasures on his own. Then I kind of figured that the top-ranking S-class would have a good reason for not showing himself whatsoever, but Waging a one-man war so we wouldn't get caught up in it... hell of a hard-boiled guy." Zombieman spoke.

"And where are we struggling with monsters and to find that there's a whole other league above the creatures we fought? That really gets me envious, but it also makes me want to keep growing myself." Atomic remarked

"That's too bad though… If you had spoken up about it sooner, my master saitama, or as you know him, Caped Baldy, could have resolved this already." Genos remarked simply.

"no no… The only reason Blast was able to do battle with God is because he's a person with the ability to manipulate space-time. Other heroes have no means of doing such a thing." sitch remarked

"I wouldn't be so sure to dismiss him; he was the one that defeated Garou after all," Midoriya pointed out.

"Well, that depends on how much strength God has offered him; we never got to see how strong he was." Metal Bat commented.

"Maybe for a simpleton like you, but Garou, as he appeared before us, was no easy threat," Flash remarked, and before Metal Bat could argue, zombieman cut him off.

"I agree that Garou was much stronger than when I last saw him... And that was when he was equal to me. He was even stronger when he surfaced, don't you all remember?" Darkshine mumbled once more in agreement, and again there was silence as people attempted to remember that day. In the vacuum of the silence, it was Geno's turn to speak. Similar to most of the machines that day, his core could remember everything that had transpired, but even he didn't have all the details of what went down, and Bakugo kept the cyborg from dawdling too much on his master, although everything still took 2 hours to completely wrap up. Sweet Mask had to go at the tail end of it, but he wanted Aoyama to fill him in on the rest of the meeting if anything important was said.

"So you're saying that garou, saitama, and some third entity had a battle where they had not only gone to Jupiter and destroyed it but flew to the Virgo cluster of galaxies and came back? But also somehow found a way to reverse the effects of the battle initially? That's a bit out there, to say the least." Sekingar spoke in a highly skeptical tone.

"The mutants that you claim to be liable also seem to support my assertions! I am not making a claim when I say that my master is the greatest hero to walk the earth." Genos replied earnestly.

"I do remember that... we had dispatched a squad to go find someone, as they were important... I don't remember who it was. but supposedly they were strong, Bang even vouched one time that the person was stronger than him. and I met the guy before... It could have been him, but I'm unsure." Atomic Samurai started rubbing at his head for a moment.

"Even though the king has only managed to use the moon as a punching bag, those feats are several orders of magnitude, even above that level. I doubt this master of yours would be capable of such things." flash dismissed.

"How dare you-"

"Leaving that aside, for now, it is important to deal with the facts of the matter; this saitama did defeat Garou, but the circumstances around that are still a mystery." stitch remarked

"And speaking of king has come as a shock to us all, however, there may lie a reason behind this madness, especially at such a sensitive time when monsters are ever increasing in threat, and it likely has to do with demon cyborg so-called master this saitama, given the mutations that all of the ones on the scene had undergone..this is just a theory, however, it is possible that king's power was transitioned wholesale to this saitama fellow," Sekingar mentioned making everyone look once more at him.

"That's not an impossible conclusion to make... All of our genetics were mixed when they were somehow like some mixing pot, and while some of us showed minor differences, others could have been more radical." flash suggested speaking his thoughts out loud and rubbing his chin.

"King was simply telling the truth, and he has been weak this whole time!?" Mineta spoke up as he got out of his chair and stood on top of it to help him stand out.

"What flash said makes more sense?" the metal bat replied casually.

"Then why would King even waste time coming up with a story like that?" Mineta argued.

"Simple really, he didn't want the S-class looking down too harshly on this fellow; from my research, the man was already somewhat of a grifter, ridding along the coattails of others, and for him to receive the king's power almost seemed like a joke." Flash remarked flatly, Mineta's blood boiled, but before he could argue with that, Genos spoke.

"With this theory in place, would that not still qualify my master as the association's strongest? Even if it was King's power, he is the one in possession of it and should take the king's spot in the association," Geno remarked as he stood up and slammed his hands onto the table.

"That is correct; however, we need to go through a few more evaluations first to ascertain whether this will be the case if we turn out to be false or if the powers shall be returned somehow," Sitch remarked, trying to placate the cyber teen.

"Good, I expect a full name change as well as immediate graduation to the S-class." Genos demanded.

"Well...let's see what we can do... Anyway, the debriefing is mostly done, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to air them now." sitch remarked.

"If all of us were affected by this god's powers, how come the mutants are the only ones that can remember everything clearly?" Pig God pointed this out.

"He does raise a good point; what's the true story behind them anyway? They weren't there for the A-city incident," the zombieman spoke.

"And their identities are clearly fabricated online." flash added.

"Yes, since you all know about god, now I guess there is no harm in telling you that the mutants are all presumably from a different universe; in their universe, the power they possess is actually a natural occurrence of their system, which is now a natural occurrence of your system in what form those mutations took place, I assume you all already know," Sitch remarked.

"Yeah, mine will at least stop me from getting lonely," Zombieman spoke as pseudo joke he went into his pocket and lifted up six bullets in the palm of his hands. With a flex of his risk, all of them suddenly came to life, standing up on the palm of his hands and even talking, hopping out of his hands, and onto the table where they played tag for a moment before Zombieman ordered them back into his hands.

"Giving life to inanimate objects seems... crazy to think about, and a part of me feels like I'm dying every time I do it, but this body of mine is used to that," Zombieman remarked with a shrug as he put his hands back into his pocket.

"So they are from a different universe, and given their knowledge, I can only assume that they were brought here by God, right?" Flash remarked.

"So you had us babysit them just in case they went haywire and were spies for god? Is that right?" atomic included.

"Yes, what you say is correct. As you saw with the homeless emperor, god can empower even regular humans, befitting the disaster level of the dragon. If there was a chance they were affected as well, you all would be the only ones capable of stopping them or at least mitigating the damage. As for your question, pig god... I simply don't know if it could be due to them having already fought off God's influence before or that people from their world have it has less power and control over them; however, with this incident, we could officially confirm that they are in the clear and would no longer need your supervision if it seems like a hassle for you all." Sitch replied, and the S-class all looked over toward the mutants, surprisingly, each of them said their peace on that matter, starting with the metal bat.

"Well, if I'm being honest, having the softy around is pretty alright. In my opinion, when I'm busy, he can go and pick my sister up from school, and she likes his animal powers; she says it makes her feel like a princess," he commented.

"No problem for me; although they already have their teacher who could teach them better than I could, if they want to come back, they can do so," zombieman remarked casually.

"Given my ability, it seems only fair that Sero teaches me a thing or two about controlling this new power of mine." Atomic remarked as his two swords on his waste levitated upwards; however, they went a bit higher than he wanted them to, forcing him to reach up and drag them down.

"I'm not particularly busy, and Sato has come a long way," the pig god remarked simply.

"Once a tank top, always a tank top," the tank top master spoke out.

"I doubt that the brat could teach much of anything; however, given his experience, it would not be much to have him around for a moment longer; he makes a great pack mule as well." flash remarked, earning a piercing gaze from Iida, but it quickly left as soon as it came.

This left Darkshine, who had been fairly quiet the whole time and speaking in barely heard whispers. He stood up rapidly as all eyes turned to him and quickly slammed his head down with a hard thud that broke through the table and hit the floor, earning a punch of surprise from everyone, but soon the man bellowed what he was going to say.

"That question should be reversed for me! I was nothing but a fraud this whole time! I read all of the reports! And they were true; I can feel it in my heart that they were! I was scared. I abandoned the mission and my comrades to save my own skin! I honestly did not expect to be called here to be a part of the meeting but to be fired from being a hero entirely; it's what I would have deserved. But if that's not happening, then I'll be sure to live up to all of your expectations! From now on... I inherited power from someone who got me back on my feet to help out once more, and I don't want to let him down. So (he raises his head back to his full height and stares directly at Kirishima), if you are still willing to let me mold your muscle, I would be honored to do so just as you molded my spirit." Darkshine announced with a very passionate speech from out of nowhere. The silence lasted for only a moment before Kirishima nearly kicked out of his chair with a raised fist.

"Of course! I wouldn't miss your training for the world! We both can still get better!" Kirishima yelled back happily; the two actually rushed toward each other and clasped their forearms together.

"I'm sorry again for your arm, there," Mina remarked as she looked at the still-untanned forearm. Darkshine lost his smile for a moment as he looked at it, showing his regular skin again once more, but the smile slowly came back, and he gave the girl a thumbs up with his other arm.

"It's no problem at all… this… This is a symbol of me still growing. I don't want to get this resprayed until I can prove to myself that I'm not like how I was before. I feel good now, but I won't know until I'm put into that same life-or-death situation like before," Darkshine remarked, and he had to brace himself as Kirishima fully hugged him.

"So manly!" he yelled as he did so, nearly letting out a single tear.

They weren't the only ones that Darkshine was happy to get a second chance from as he looked towards the other S-class at the table, most notably Metal Bat and Atomic Samurai, as Zombieman, Pig God, and Flash didn't seem to care that much, or at least their body language seemed to indicate that.

"If that day taught me anything, it's that everyone gets at least one chance, but you're out after this, so don't blow it." atomic remarked simply.

"You turned out to be an even bigger baby than Koda was when I first found him. Believe me, the next time you try to coddle away like that, I'm going to throw you into the fire. The least you can do is be used like a human shield." Metal Bat remarked

"Right, I'll try to live up to all your expectations!" Darkshine said with a hard salute. The sound of his fist hitting his chest sounded like a large drum exploding in people's ears in the small space, especially Jiro's, who covered over her earjacks.

"Well, I think after that, the meeting could be called to adjourn. I will also add that there has been an increased rate of interactions with God's dimension this past year. Blast said it's as if something is drawing it here; it's still under investigation. But Blast assured that he would return with countermeasures soon, and until then, our top priority should be unity and solidarity. Because supposedly he strikes his bargains by exploiting the weak points in one's spirit." sitch announced.

" I'm looking forward to major reforms implemented in the association. If you hear anything from Blast, you need to contact Caped Baldy, my master saitama; he will be all we need for countermeasures. Now I will be taking my leave." Genos remarked as he stood up, dropped the large notes he had back into his backpack, and walked away.

"That's some infatuation," Zombieman spoke before he reminisced about what Doctor Genus said, and he cast a glance towards Tokoyami, who stared back at him almost expectantly. So it seems it was true removing his limiter, huh? Flash got up next and told Sitch one thing and one thing alone.

"The next time you see a blast... Tell him to come find me; I'll show him that I have what it takes to keep up with him. I'll make God rue the day he crossed me by destroying my beautiful hair." Flash remarked before walking out, and zombieman soon followed. However, the mutants did not move, and this time it was Sekingar who was asked to leave and to go wait in his office for him, and they would finish the debriefing there. Sekingar was a bit baffled by the choice but agreed nonetheless and continued on his way nonetheless. When he finally left the room, Sitch once again locked down the place securely before taking one of the chairs and rolling it in front of the mutants.

"Be honest with me… How do you all remember the events so clearly versus everyone else present?" Sitch questioned, and the teens looked around at each other before Bakugo spoke out for them.

"I took God's deal, but before you get all fussy about it, I tricked it by making my deal. God seemed to be getting eager and didn't listen clearly, so I won out in the end. Everyone who had died got their minds scrambled, but we didn't," Bakugo stated.

"Yes, things seemed to be normal now; however, just as Blast said, you did not get off scot-free. Not only were the heroes given this quirk factor as you all described it, but you all have unwittingly opened yourselves up to the potential of becoming monsters. Without the nerve suppressants that we possess, your danger is a credible percent higher than that of your average person. All of you need to be extremely careful." Sitch added, and he gained a few nods in return.

"Also, is it really true that the king was just a fake and this saitama character was the true person behind his feats?" Sitch asked this time, focusing directly on Mineta. The boy gulped once before nodding his head in confirmation. Sitch rubbed a hand through his hair before breathing outwards once more.

"Well, that… That's a lot to take in, but I'll try to manage it. Is what Genos said also true? Did Saitama really do all that?" Sitch asked

"Yes, that guy's a freak of nature," Bakugo remarked simply.

"I mean… I see… Well, I guess the only thing left to discuss with you all is when you are going home. also, thanks to your actions that have been delayed, blast told me three weeks, he will come to retrieve you all in two weeks." Sitch remarked simply with bated breath that he had thought that he would take the news poorly like last time, but unlike that time, Bast wouldn't be there to save him, but this time they all just seemed melancholy.

"Yeah, we figured that was going to be the case... better than I thought it was, really." Bakugo remarked simply

"O-oh …ok then… Well, the last thing is the whereabouts of the others. You claim to not know where Silver Chain is, and I won't argue with you all on that. Drive Knight is responsible for the care of Energizer, and Phoenix Man is being monitored, but where is the overgrown rover? All of your reports only mentioned that it is in a "secure" place." sitch mentioned.

"That's all you need to know," Bakugo remarked, crossing his arms.

"We also plan on taking it with us on our trip back home, so you don't have to worry about it," Koda mentioned.

"Ugh… Are you sure that's wise? It is a dragon-level threat after all," Sitch remarked, a bit stunned by that.

"But more than that, it's just a dog, just like any other... It's dangerous; we understand that. However, I have talked to it; it's not pure evil; it won't hurt things out of pure malice. It's a follower and deftly loyal to its master and friends." koda defended.

"Well alright… I'll assume that as long as you all know what you're getting into and about this secure facility, the people in charge of this facility are the same ones that offered their support to you during the raid (the class nods). So I know it is foolhardy to get any answers from any of you. I only ask, Are these new individuals trustworthy enough to handle such a monster for the time being?" sitch questioned.

"Yes, for now, I can believe that their intentions are pure, if somewhat greedy on their part." momo remarked.

"...so they are not too dissimilar from the hero association; the higher-ups are doing everything they can to convince Phoenix Man to become a hero, but the monster is fairly aloof, and he wants to take a moment for himself... In any case, that would be all I have to talk to you all about; you may proceed with the rest of your day.."Sitch stated that before standing up and making his way out of the room, he took a glance back at the broken table and the dented floor and thought that he would likely need to ask someone to clean that up.

He didn't watch as the teens filtered out of his room as he had to make his to not keep Sekingar waiting as he moved through the halls of the association before continuing forward and entering his office it was a very viewable sight despite the base not having any windows due to them being "structural weaknesses" as metal knight told them but the man was understandable enough that some people like looking out of them so multiple of the rooms in the association had a mode where the panels on the walls could link to the camera feeds directly outside of the base and give a similar view and the same illusion which was only shattered if you touched a hand against it which sekingar was doing right that moment as he entered. There was a degree of silence as he entered, which Sitch thanked his apprentice for. He took a moment to sit down and take a deep breath just to process everything that's been happening lately, briefly glancing over to the note on his desk from none other than Bang but also a second one from none other than King himself. But if what the teens said was true, then he guessed it was for the best after all.

After about a minute of silence, Sekingar decided it was enough and got down to business.

"So even now, there are still secrets you hide from me?" Sekingar remarked, referring to the teens.

"Yes, however, for the most part, it has nothing to do with you or this world in general. It would just be needless for you to know and more for the teen's privacy." sitch replied

"I see… Well, I guess you are right about that; the hero situation is honestly very concerning, not only with Bang retiring but also with King as well. This will be a major blow to the hero association." Sekingar spoke.

"For Bang, at least we don't have too much to be concerned about; he is already preparing his successor." sitch remarked

"Silver Fang's successor? " Sekingar asked.

"Yes, Silver Fang will become his guardian and introduce him to the association. Eventually, he said this as he was submitting his resignation."

"The whole he's leaving is a big one to fill if he is good enough to get that man's backing. I'd like to see him on the roster as soon as possible. So what's the rookie like?" Sekingar asked

"Well you know, you'll have to wait and see." Sitch replied

"Haha, even more secrets? This does concern the association, you know. Is it someone I know about?" Sekingar remarked.

"Probably he is a very popular individual, to say the least." Sitch replied with a coy smile as he got up to look at the screen of the outside world. And garou, all we can do now is trust in Silver Fang. I mean, Mr. Bang's ability to rehabilitate him. If we bring them on, I'm sure there will be a huge backlash from the other heroes. But there's no other choice; bolstering our forces in preparation for the great prophecy is more important than anything else. Sitch thought mainly of himself.

"Fine, I'll guess I'll wait, so what will we do about King? If Bang was a hole in the network, King suddenly retired and the entire foundation was brought asunder, maybe even rivaling that of the Monster Association rival in terms of public panic, the repercussions could be felt for years to come." Sekingar spoke in a worried tone.

"Well, there is saitama, or Caped Baldy as he is called. We asked Bang about him, and he remarked that he was much stronger than he was, and you had just seen first-hand how he sees him. He also broke every record in the Hero Association physical exam by a country mile, along with being included in multiple eliminations of dragon-level threats," Sitch remarked.

"Yes… I understand that and believe me, I thoroughly checked his records, and these also have cause for concern," Sekingar remarked.

"Why would that be?" sitch questioned.

"Because all of that was before this incident, meaning he had near or likely S-class level ability the entire time if our theory is true that his and King's powers swapped, why would King step down? He would still have the power to compete as an S-class hero, unless..." Sekingar pondered before silence rang out over the two of them, the implication clear in the air.

"How would we even market him to take that mantle? The legend around the king nearly rivals that of Blast himself." Sekingar spoke, and there was another moment of silence before Sitch snapped his head towards Sekingar.

"That's just it; that's how we'll implement him... We just need to hold the public off for three more weeks, and then we will avail him to the world.." Sitch remarked fairly excitedly.

Neo Hunters HQ

The 1A teens hadn't done the set of debriefing for the past three days; they had been under constant medical monitoring by the association, so they couldn't get into contact with Fuzzy very often to confirm things with him other than getting Rover to him. Momo was able to find out the mole within the association was someone called McCoy as he was the one that had approached her, telling her of Fuzzy wanting to reconnect with them all once they had been medically checked out. Getting to the neo-leader headquarters was something of a hassle due, in no small part, to the orders for them to travel a particular route to get towards the building. Given the events that transpired, Fuzzy likely held no doubt that the hero association was curious about this strange benefactor who assisted them, especially Metal Knight, so they wanted to throw off any trackers that they may have as they moved. They were assured into separate vehicles and transported each uniquely around before arriving at the headquarters of the base. They made their way up the elevator and made their way into the meeting room from before Fuzzy welcomed them all with large smiles and arms held out wide. He praised them for their mission success, and he also told them all that he was happy that all of them made it out of the battle in one piece. Iida returned his gratitude with a bow and thanked the man for lending them the combat suits, as they were invaluable in the battle that they faced.

Once all the greetings were in order, the true purpose of the meeting was fully in order and just like with the association the teens laid out everything that happened from their perspective they had correctly assumed that he likely already had received the reports made by all of the heroes involved with the incident, the questions the man had was surprisingly few however he did have another request for them it was for them to create a video for the Neo heroes however the nature of this video was slanderous in nature directed straight towards the hero association while technically not being so, he simply wanted them to tell the "truth" that the association directly ignored the information that they gave them, which technically wasn't wrong but didn't tell the whole story or the reason why they didn't so which they were still somewhat bitter over but still wanted to defend them nonetheless, ultimately they decided to still go through with it as Fuzzy would give them the opportunity to explain the hero associations reasonings especially when they heard that the narinki along with his son would be making there own statement revolving around the matter and knowing them it would not be very flattering to the association at all, thus their hands were tied in the matter which several of the teens believed that it was part of fuzzy plan in the first place to happen in that manner.

After their statement was given about that situation they had an entirely different request from Fuzzy this was more a request without any of the framework of the previous one so there was no partial guilt if they just straight up declined this request however, since the unique situation was technically their fault, to begin with, the request was in helping the eo leader in honing up on their own new mutations that they had received during the conflict even Fuzzy himself wasn't exempt from this problem, his powers to see the future have been altered ever so slightly or increased now he can see many the future of any danger he could be in instead of just random significant events that happen far in the future then the point now, while it wasn't particularly helpful to him since he's not a frontline fighter but anything to prevent injury and maybe even death would be a positive in his book. He was confident that his Neo leaders would be able to figure things out on their own; however, if they could help speed up the process, it would be even more beneficial, especially in time for their reveal, which was about to happen in a very short time frame in the coming weeks. The teens agreed, and Fuzzy was already prepared to hand most of them all a list of the mutations and powers that the Neo leaders have developed and even suggestions on who should be the ones to train them. None of the teens were surprised by the new names that they weren't familiar with, with each of them having knowledge of some kind or another based on their fusion event.

Later that night,

The teens had all returned home from before, they had been busy teaching everyone they could about their new abilities, now that they were finally back alone in their place, they had a moment to take in what they really did not only to themselves but the very world they had introduced quirks to this planet which could have disastrous implications down the line, monsters were already on the rise but now there was the possibility that these monster would be mutated quirk holder which they could only assume be even worse of a threat, none of them really blamed bakugo for this however it was the only solution they really had to even recover the world to this state and the threat of quirks was only technically theoretical and how things properly transfer over the quirk factor could be suppressed however this was likely something that people in their world believed and now 80% of the population has them ad the same thing could happen to this one…that was if the S-class or Neo leaders decided to have children that was. Everyone was at home, even the ones that would usually go out and train like before, were staying in for the time being so that they could spend the time together. Even Bakugo was somewhat with the majority of where the people were, which was normally atypical of him and showed just how much events affected even someone as stubborn as him.

Their quality time had been interrupted suddenly by a knock on the door surprising visitor at the time of night to be sure but the teens answered nonetheless Iida was the one to answer the door and peered through to see who the person was before answering while they were in an armored fortress city which was now newly guarded by large robotic machines made by metal knight it didn't mean it was foolproof from infiltration, the person on the other side of the viewport was not a complete stranger but was strange for her to be here at the time of day, he was about to call for momo given that this person was originally her teacher and still was technically from time to time if they happen to meet in while on patrol but thought better of it and called bakugo over instead of the girl given his likely importance as he opened the door to reveal that the A-class hero shadow ring was on the other side of the doorway, bakugo did a mild inhale as his and his nerves spiked for a moment before settling in for a moment and fixing the girl with a hard stare.

The small kunoichi did not hesitate once she saw him and "requested" that he come with her, but everything about it told Bakugo that it was more of a demand than a request, and despite his usual nature, he only nodded before proceeding out with her. Others moved to follow, and that was the moment the nina decided to acknowledge their existence and told them that only Bakugo could follow. Bakugo was sure to squash any counters of disagreement as he said to them that he would be fine on his own. Despite that, however, Momo still crafted him a beacon just in case something happened. She didn't hand it to him directly, but she flew the small device into his hands as the two of them were walking away from the home as the others watched on. He couldn't blame her or any of them for being so defensive. They all had just had their classes brush with death, yet for him and Midoriya, it was probably the third or fourth time, but for a lot of theirs, it was their very first or second at most. They cheated death multiple times, and Midoriya even died, even though they managed to get him back. How long would their luck go until they ran out?

It was always something to consider with being a hero—the threat of dying in the middle of duty—but it's not something they usually tell you about or even empathize with classes in school. He guessed the entrance exam with the zero-pointer was supposed to cause that, but no one takes those robots seriously enough to consider it, in comparison to a living person bearing down on your neck or blood emerging from your wounds or the wounds you inflict upon others. Bakugo knew he was just losing himself in a spiral at that point. Just to take his mind off what was happening, the girl didn't say much of anything to him as they journeyed, only picking up her pace. He was faster than her, but she was the one who knew where to go, so it forced him to follow along. He didn't want to know where she was taking him, but he knew it had something to do with the silver chain; it was the only logical explanation, and it seemed the girl confirmed his speculations when she outwardly accused him of "knowing what she did, and why didn't he tell her or anyone for that matter?" Bakugo let the statement go unanswered. She likely didn't want to hear an answer and just wanted to say something about their travels. He didn't know the relationship between them or how close they were, but it was probably close enough that she would be angered by the girl's actions, whether that was due to the clan that they were a part of or something more. They were the only two members of this clan in the hero association, so they were likely close enough and depended on each other if things got bad for either of them.

Eventually, the two of them came upon a forest but this was where the ninja would have to wait at least that's what she claimed as she pointed a way ahead down a pathway through the trees, he simply nodded his head and entered into the forest unafraid, they didn't travel too far out of A-city if anything they had traveled to B-city and actually, if his memory served him right this was the place where they first fought that turtle monster he recognized the battle damage that still hasn't healed over from that time months ago now, he couldn't believe how much has happened since that day past as he started to use his own unique mutation from that day, the S-class weren't the only ones that changed almost everyone in the class had changed themselves and for himself he could now freely control and detonate his sweat anywhere , he collected a swab of it and spin into in the air above his finger as he continued to move down the dark pathway, he knew that he was being watched part of him was curious what those watchers would do if he shot it at them but he didn't want to cause trouble if there was no need to but it didn't hurt to also have a backup plan waiting and the swirling sweat above his finger was just a distraction for the ones coming up from out of his shoes it took a great deal effort so he couldn't even focus on really on where he was going.

He suddenly stopped when he got to a large clearing. The trees had been completely blown away, and there was a crater about 60 feet wide where the turtle spent and blew them away. He killed that turtle, didn't he? The crater he left in the earth was even larger than this, which he smirked at, but that fell away when he found someone in the center of this clearing; it was none other than Silver Chain, which wasn't too surprising. He didn't think she would still be on talking terms with her clanmate, and he guessed she didn't want to trip the association sensors to talk to him.

"Yo… I guess you want to talk to me?" Bakugo remarked as he made his way forward. The girl was kneeling, but she was so tall now that even in that position, she came up toward his stomach.

"I do, but this was not my idea. They want you to kill me. I… I didn't want it to be anyone else if this was to be my fate." Silver Chain spoke, and this caused Bakugo to raise an eyebrow in genuine surprise. He took a glance around in the trees; he couldn't make out distinct shapes, but he could see the shadows. At least he believed he could.

"I'm surprised they managed to catch you." bakugo remarked

"They did not; I surrendered myself to this; as I said before, I do not wish to live life on the run, and I have no will to fight my own sisters." Silver Chain remarked

"So what is the plan they came up with? Have I killed you instead? Can I even do that? I'm pretty sure that you can walk off even my strongest attack." Bakugo remarked, and suddenly, as he spoke, a sword slammed down next to them. No, it wasn't a sword but more like an injector with a strange purple-like fluid inside of it. He looked towards it for a moment before taking another glance at the tree line. He could definitely see shadows dancing among them, but he couldn't make out any distinct human shapes, so he couldn't discern how many people there were.

"That is a strong poison that has been cyphered from numerous poisoning monsters for over a decade and blended together... I don't know if it would be strong enough to kill me, but it will likely weaken me enough for you to do so." Silver Chain spoke clearly in her voice despite the situation being flat and neutral. She didn't even look at the instrument; she already knew what it was. He glanced over at the weapon before looking back at the girl kneeling; she was just waiting there patiently for him to make his decision.

Bakugo walked over to the weapon and ripped it out of the ground the mechanism was simple enough that it was like a syringe you pressed the hilt and the stuff would be inserted into the target after piercing her skin, he picked up the weapon and looked once more at the tree line he still couldn't tell how many people there were, however, it didn't matter to him as he places his hands towards the center of the weapon where the canister of the poison was stored before pooling a lot of the sweat around the weapon and lifting it into the air before exploding it into smithereens this first explosion set off the rest that he had scattered around the forest, he still had to work on this new power he could spread out all of his sweat, however, any time he sets off an explosion everything explodes and he was confident he should be able to detonate them all separately of each other but he would still need to work on it, to get to that point.

Bakugo saw the girl look up towards the explosion but bakugo was more focused on the treeline and the shapes of objects now he could definitely see the human shapes in them he spotted about 10 of them before the explosion light left and darkness regripped them but now that he saw them he could more easily follow them, especially the sounds as they moved around but maybe they had wanted him to as he began to hear the trees start to speak, they said many things mostly about how blasphemous what he did was or targeted at silver chain calling her a traitor, the voices were angry of course he did antagonize them, however when one of the voices spoke about how they should "kill" them both, was the second a loud crash was heard somewhere in the treeline, he could spot briefly a whole in the line and a bunch of the shadows had fractured around it, he turned back to glance at silver chain she didn't move but that could be that she was just that fast and she also had her clones she could also make.

"I don't care what happens to me, but I will not let you harm him." Silver Chain spoke simply.

"How about you idiots? Just stop all that hiding and come out already!" Bakugo yelled out towards the treeline. It took a couple of seconds, but they did comply with his command as nine members suddenly appeared. There were 10 of them, but the last one was laid out on the ground, being looked after by two of them. Each of them wore an almost identical silver wardrobe, but they all wore marooned navy blue instead of her silver. One of the taller ones stepped forward and spoke to him.

"Why didn't you kill her?" the girl spoke, making him wonder if they were all girls in this clan of hers.

"Because I didn't want to. I told her before that I wanted her to survive, and that didn't change in just a couple of days," Bakugo remarked simply with a shrug of his shoulders.

"She is a monster; now you do realize that, correct?" The lead spoke.

"And you realize that you all are still alive right now, correct? If she were as dangerous as you think she is, then you all wouldn't have made it this far. That one is an example of that, and you wouldn't have needed to bring me here," Bakugo gave a snarky reply while sticking a finger at the downed girl. They had injected her with some sort of fluid, and she sprung up but quickly recoiled from the pain she was feeling. The two of them helped the girl stand once more, but she had to lean on one of them for support to remain that way.

"The real reason you want her dead isn't that she is a monster; well, that's not the only reason; it's because she's a traitor and can reveal all your secrets, right?" bakugo announced.

"If you can figure out that much, then you should already know how we deal with such incursions. If you don't do it, we have no other options but to fight her, even if it would be an uphill battle," the lead person said.

"That's not your only option. What about just banishment?" bakguo suggested.

"That doesn't solve any issues at all," the girl replied almost instantly.

"If the place is far away enough and unreachable, it's the same thing as being dead. In three weeks, I and my friends are going to leave this place and return to our world. She can come with us and be out of your hair, and everyone here could be happy and no fighting would be necessary," Bakguo remarked. There was a moment of silence that passed, only the wind in the air as the group seemed to all be contemplating his words, before suddenly all of them, without even a word spoken to each other, started to slink away from them, going back into the treeline and disappearing into the dark.

"Ugh, does that mean they agree?" Bakugo remarked, looking back at Silver Chain. The girl was still on her knees, but her eyes were looking directly at him instead of the ground. She was clearly surprised at what he said as well, so much so that she didn't reply verbally, but she did shake her head at his assessment of their retreat.

"An interesting proposal... however, the repercussions of such a feat would be everlasting if she decides to act." a voice spoke out suddenly bakugo head snapped back to face forward. He didn't even see these people amongst the trees. He swore he only saw 10 people, but now three more showed up. They weren't dressed traditionally as the clothes; they had large, long robes that hid their bodies, and they wore a complete face mask that had all of their features. Each of the masks he guessed was some mythological beast recreation, but he couldn't name any of them. But the one thing he could guess from these three was that they were likely leader figures in this clan; the presence they exuded from just standing there was on a completely different level than the other 10, but he was never one to shy away from challenges.

"I'll take that chance; she can control herself just fine." bakugo remarked

"And you are willing to stake your world on that? From what we know, she is a high dragon-level threat to our world, but to you, it would be like she was a god-level threat." One of them spoke; he couldn't decipher which one, and they were all nearly identical, barring the masks.

"As I said, she's still herself, just because she fell into the temptation that you all gave; it doesn't change that everyone chooses what they value more than other things." bakugo replied.

"Is that to say you value her life above that of your own planet?" they asked. Bakugo scoffed to hide a blush that was forming on his face.

"Nothing as mushy as that... but I do trust her; she hasn't done anything to betray my trust this far, and I have no reason that should change for the future." Bakugo replied that he was also going to say that his world was already going down a crazy rabbit hole, and if anything happened to it, he would rather have her dictate its fate than all for one did.

"Ah, so that's it as well." one of them remarked, simply making Bakugo raise an eyebrow before realizing his error and looking back toward Silver and back at the three figures.

"So she went to absorb you all as well?" bakugo asked.

"Indeed, these new powers that we were gifted are thanks to that union; your world biology mixing with our own offers a great many possibilities, and for that, we thank you, sister, for the gift," one replied.

"You have served us well in our time together, even if you have betrayed the coven. Know that you are forgiven for offering this information and power to us in exchange... We will not bend the rules for you; however, we can take this alternative path that this young man has set out for you. Enjoy your new life. Bakugo, she is in your care from now on." The three people spoke before all three suddenly vanished from sight in a dark cloud of smoke.

Well, that was a clear as-day response. Bakugo's heart rate steadily slowed down. He didn't know if his gamble would pay off, but it seemed the girl had her own actions in play as well to mitigate some of the fallout, which shouldn't have surprised him. He was just turning around and about to ask the girl what was next before he was suddenly tackled to the ground once more. Before he could find his bearing, he felt her lips attach to his own, and he quickly melted into them. He still didn't think he was very good with it, but it didn't seem like it mattered to her, and it definitely didn't to him. They sat there and made out for about two minutes before she finally let him go and breathed fully for the moment.

"Thank you, Katsuki, for everything. My life and blade are yours to do with." Sylvia remarked with a large smile, and in the night her silver eyes seemed to glow even brighter than before, which truly captivated him, not for the first time.

"Yeah, same to you... but I should head back home; the others are probably being paranoid," Bakugo admitted, and the girl nodded her head and got up off of him.

"Umm…katsuki, I don't have a place to stay anymore," Slyvia replied

"Sure, it's only three weeks; you can come live with us for the rest of the time," Bakugo remarked, cutting the girl off. He was surprised to find a pause in her question like she was unsure or shy to ask it.

"Thank you," she replied with a bow of the head.

The two left the forest and made quick haste. Toward the fortress of A-city in comparison to the trip over it didn't take much time at all the time between his leaving and returning was nothing but 40 minutes or so, he was partially surprised when he defense mechanism didn't go off when they had entered into the place but that may have to do with her still having a human looking appearance sweet mask was able to go through the place with no-problems so she probably or shouldn't have any issue either of course that was just in the fact that she wouldn't be flat out attacked he did not doubt that the association would be notified of her presence and she would need to answer a good few questions of theirs when the time came likely tomorrow at some point but he didn't want to have to worry about that at least for now.

He arrived back home, and he made sure to message ahead that he was bringing company just so the triplet troublemakers could get their energy out, but that may have had the opposite effect, or no matter what he did, they would still be exploding with energy revolving around the sudden arrival; it didn't matter, and he tuned them out the same. Once the re-introductions were out of the way and everyone had their fair share of things they wanted to say about Silver Chain, he confirmed that they were a couple after being put on the spot.

Given the time everyone had quickly dispersed to their separate rooms, they still didn't have as many rooms as people, so all of the monsters present, which included Jackie, Aki, and now Silver Chain, would have to sleep in the living room or in the monster enclosure, which for Aki at least wasn't too much of a problem. Jackie, however, was a bit more complicated; she wanted to sleep in her boyfriend's room, but both Iida and Momo forbade her from doing so, and short of having a small temper tantrum where she destroyed a TV, she had discretely attempted to sneak in at least once without anyone knowing.

Silver Chain was a different story; however, everyone, despite their outward friendliness, held a bit of caution in their hearts in disapproving of the girl. She was strong; everyone knew that, and none of them wanted to be on the receiving end of that strength, so when they told her the rules, a lot of them relaxed when the girl simply nodded her head at the arrangement in understanding. So with those out of the way, everyone dispersed back to their rooms to sleep the night away, bakugo had just finished getting out of the shower and brushing his teeth before getting into his bed, just as he opened his covers to slid in and lay his head down he was shocked when he felt something soft on the back of his shoulders and neck, he twisted his neck that he would have gotten whiplash most likely, however, the person behind him stopped him from doing just that and instead allowed him to turn his head more slowly towards her, once he felt the hands he immediately knew who it was and when he thought about it more logically it was the only person capable of being that quiet, he didn't know when she had gotten into his room or rather how given that the doors to the rooms required keys to enter but he wasn't too pissed off about it as he relaxed in her embrace for a moment.

"I thought you agreed with the others about the sleeping arrangement," Bakugo remarked.

"I agreed that I understood them, not that I would follow them. That is unless you would like for me to leave you." Silver Chain replied immediately before adding on the second part, stopping her hands, which were idly brushing over his face.

"I don't care much either way... Just make sure you're gone in the morning to save ourselves from any potential headaches from the others," Bakugo remarked.

"I'll ensure that I won't be seen before the day breaks... I would never want to inconvenience you. Katsuki, thank you. Honestly."Silver Chain spoke once more and again, a pause in her tone hinting at shyness there, but that may have just been nerves as her hands made their way from his face downwards towards his shoulders down his arms, and back up like a message. Bakugo didn't think much of it until she had started and put a hand inside of his shirt and nibbled on his ear. It felt really nice; however, things only got better when she split off into another clone of herself.

Now she was in front of him, and he could see what she had on, which was just traditional sleeping gear—nothing too fancy—but without the mass-reducing clothing, it did leave her chest bulging out at him, which he then felt as she kissed him once more. This time, she used her tongue, which was a strange experience as it was a split tongue, which he was very confident wasn't like before, but despite initially being weird, he continued to go with it and started to make out with her. As her clone rubbed along his back and shoulders, he didn't even realize a third clone was there until he felt it on his legs and was talking to him. He could barely hear what it was saying because he was consumed by the pleasure and sensuality of the situation. She thanked him for supporting her decisions and not ratting her out; she thanked him for helping her get revenge when she could not; she thanked him for stopping her from taking her own life; she thanked him for saving her from her clan; and she thanked him again for offering her a home to come to, not just the association but allowing her to accompany him back to their world. It was almost like she was pledging her loyalty to him like he was a king or something, promising to never go against him, to kill his enemies, to be sure to protect him, to make his goals a reality, whatever they may be. But this was where something she said completely snapped him out of the experience, as she remarked that she could even kill Midoriya for him to ensure that no one would have the possibility of usurping him as the number one hero in their world.

All the romantics he was feeling died almost instantly replaced with a degree of anger and annoyance. He squirmed in her grasp, but probably because she was so strong, she likely didn't notice, so he swirled some sweat from the back of his neck and lifted it into the air, exploding it in the air, which finally caught the girl's attention enough for him to weasel out of her grasp and get room to speak.

"Get off the bed now." Bakugo spoke seriously to the girl and followed instructions to immediately get off the bed and stand in front of it. She likely knew what she said as she didn't meet his eyes at all and only stared down at the floor. He was glad she didn't start to attempt to apologize because he would have heard none of it. He roughly ran his hands through his hair for a moment just to calm himself down before glaring at the girl.

"Don't ever say shit like that again... Look at me. I'm dead serious, don't even think about shit like that. I don't want anyone here to die. Not here or back home; promise me that you won't hurt any of them," Bakugo remarked, standing up as well and approaching her to get in her line of sight.

"Yes, I promise... Please forgive me; I had just gotten carried away. Silver Chain remarked simply. Bakugo looked at the tall woman and breathed in and out for several moments before shaking his head.

"Good, now get out." Bakugo stated simply that the girl looked up sharply at him but quickly looked back down in a downtrodden nod.

"I… I will leave a way for you to contact me when the time to leave comes." Silver Chain spoke, and Bakugo raised an eyebrow before rolling his eyes and scoffing.

"Not out of the house, idiot, just out of the room; just head back downstairs; it's where you're supposed to be after all," Bakugo remarked simply, and he could tell by her body language that did raise her mood a bit before she nodded once more enthusiastically before bowling and taking her leave. As she went to open the door, Bakugo was surprised to find that Midoriya had been waiting on the other side, but that also told him that the girl had been completely serious in her threat against him. She passed him with only a glance before heading down the steps, and that just left the two of them as Midoriya stood at the doorway, probably examining him and seeing if he was okay or not.

"Was everything okay in here?" He asked likely because he couldn't see any physical harm to his person.

"Of course I am; what would be the cause of concern?" Bakugo replied simply.

"It's just my…. danger sense flared for a moment, so I came to investigate. What happened?" Midoriya asked.

"Nothing happened… She just said something she shouldn't have, but I guess I'm not one to say that. given what I've said in the past..." Bakugo remarked in silent contemplation for a moment, thinking about that one time in middle school when he might have taken things just a bit too far, thinking about what God had said to him about Garou and the reason he went to such an extent to do what he did. It only made him think of how badly Midoriya could have turned out instead because of him. He balled his fist as he spoke his next words.

"I'm sorry Midoriya," Bakugo stated, making Midoriya sputter for a moment with such an unexpected and seemingly random thing to say.

" Sorry for what, Kacchan?" midoriya asked.

"For everything, what I did to you, what I said to you..."

"It's o-"

"It's not okay! … it's not… I knew you would be like this; it's probably why I put this off for so long, but I should have just come out and said it anyway. Nothing I did to you was okay. I could probably list some reasons why I did that, but they would just sound like excuses. The truth of the matter is that what I did to you was wrong. and I regret doing it for all that's worth. No one would have blamed you for wanting to get me back for that once you got all your power. But you never did. Even now, you could get your payback on me, and I wouldn't be able to do a thing about it, but you refused to act. Heh, the thought probably never crossed your mind... You even saved mine and the class life a couple of days ago. just goes to show how selfless you are. the complete opposite of me... I may have brought everyone back, but it wasn't out of some sort of self-sacrifice or anything like that. I just hated losing so utterly like that. I guess I'm getting off-topic... The point is, I'm sorry... I know you'll just forgive me and we'll carry on like usual, but I mean it. I did something fucked up, which could have created something like Garou or Shigaraki. But you are a better person than them... than me... I … I can't think of a better person to hold on to All Might's legacy than you." Bakugo stated earnestly... There was a pause; everything seemed to have gone silent. Bakugo didn't know what he expected Midoriya to say in reply, and for Midoriya, his danger sense flared for a moment during Bakugo's apology once more, but the moment was so fast he thought he was just imagining things, but as his brain caught up to what Bakugo said, especially the last bit, he couldn't help but let a stray tear drop out of one of his eyes.

"You're wrong about… that I'm the worst... There are so many things". Midoriya was cut off as Bakugo had actually put an arm on his shoulder; he didn't realize he had moved.

"Cut that shit out… I know about it. Things aren't going well back at home, right? God showed me a little bit of one of the final battles. It didn't end well for the heroes, but none of that is your fault. We were dealing with things that were way above our pay grade. Do you remember that battle with me? You saw how strong a god's avatar could be. Even if every person on the planet combined, we wouldn't hold a candle to him or even that bald idiot for that matter. We can't do anything against a being like that but hope that someone else can take care of it, I may dislike him somewhat but whatever Blast and his team are doing is important to keep that thing at bay… no one, we'll none of us will blame you for what happened and your still alive so that means that there is always a chance, all might did it before so their nothing stopping you from doing so and unlike him, you won't have to do it alone we have powerful allies now to help you directly. We just need to get home and then get to work…all for one won't know what hit him and we'll end his reign permanently." bakugo remarked clasping him on the shoulders.

"R-right …" midoriya replied with a nod although his face was still neutral.

"That brings me to another thing, you have to tell the others about what's happening, now more than ever since we can all turn into monsters." bakugo, that was one of the few things he honestly weighed heavily on him, the class could also turn into monsters but lose themselves in that very process out of sheer guilt he had been studying up on any monster info that he could get his hands and what happens post monsterization and the causes of it and if it could be stopped once it started luckily it could be.

"I know…I know…I just was trying to gather everything together, through my connections I got information but they already scrambled before now it's like it's shattered into pieces but when god was breaking through all the information came to me clearly as day and I was just piecing it out…with the information that we could turn into monsters I wanted to find a way to break it to them somewhat easily but given what's happened that's hard to do." midoriya remarked and bakugo swallowed a lump in his throat as his hands balled into fist.

"Is it true? Best jeanist? Is he?" bakugo remarked in the softest voice he's ever said

" Bakugo…I'm sorry." Midoriya stated simply, a rage built up inside of him but he was working under the assumption that it already was that way and it would be the second time he thought his mentor was dead but this time it was confirmed, several explosions went off in his closed fist but they petered out as he replied

"I see…well that's just one more thing to get him back for… we're done here, you can head back to your own room." bakugo remarked bitterly as he turned around and made his way back to his own bed and slammed down on it.

"Kacchan are you… alright?" Midoriya asked

"I'm fine midoriya… don't let the door hit you on the way out." bakugo replied gruffly not looking at him as he was face first into his door closed a few seconds later and he lay there in his bed, anger still plagued him but hints of sadness pulled through when he remembered the man's final words which turned to bright anger when he remembered the bastard that did him init was that re-destroy person he believed that society was based on strength of his quirk didn't he? Well, he will show him what a powerful quirk is when he gets back he will make sure of that. The morning came and with a surprising delight as Silver Chain or silvy as the others nicknamed her had cooked breakfast for all of them not just breakfast but what seemed like an entire banquet for the 20 of them, it was a strange gesture that none of them got besides bakugo and midoirya but they didn't look a gift horse in the mouth, no one was allowed to touch the food until bakugo ate the first bite however so some of the early birds had to wait for the angry blonde to wake up and naturally at that since she didn't want people waking him up until he was ready.

3 days Later

Hidden truths and guarded secrets: 1A, Saitama, Fubuki

The day had finally come when Midoriya would set out to tell everyone what had been going on back home. Bakugo had already told everyone the day before that the news wasn't going to be good and that they should prepare themselves for the "worst." Midoriya thought it was rather unwise to do that as then their minds would spiral with possibilities, but that was exactly what Bakugo wanted because what they could come up with in their heads would likely be worse than what he had to say, or at least he hoped they weren't the optimistic type and thought that he was being dramatic. He thought if they could survive their own heads and not monsterfy, then they could handle what he had to say also without monsterizing, at least he hoped so. Even with that precaution, they didn't want to leave things to chance and took the gathering out in the barren waste outside of the hero association for their own protection and that of the associations.

Everyone sat down in a small circle around Midoriya and waited with bated breath, waiting for him to begin. Midoriya started off the discussion by reiterating the things that Bakugo had already mentioned about how the fight back home wasn't going over so well, but he took it one step further this time around and told them that the battle was essentially over and that the heroes that hadn't given up yet had formed into a rebellion of sorts, led by edge shot. This immediately struck everyone as peculiar, but it was none other than Todoroki who had popped the most logical question of what happened to Intent and why wouldn't he be leading this rebellion instead, Midoriya took in a deep breath before answering, looking at his friend with as much sympathy as he could and telling him that Intent was captured by All for One, which earned gasps from the class, but Midoriya wasn't done yet; he elected to just rip the bandaid off approach since they were at this moment. As he turned to Tokoyami next and remarked that Hawks had also been captured by All for One, Tokoyami's immediate question was: What did he want them for?

For that, Midoriya did not have much of an answer; he only knew that he wanted them specifically to ensure "the loyalty of his pawns," which had started to wane after he had taken over Shigarki's body. Midoriya spoke out his speculation, which meant that he simply turned them over to both Dabi and Toga, respectively. What they did with them, he didn't know, and for one, he likely didn't care. There was a sharp silence that rang out as the two people closest to him let that information sink in. Their closer friends cuddled closer to them to console them the best they could given the circumstances. Midoriya could feel his danger sense kick up once more from the both of them. Todoroki was literally steaming, and Tokoyami, while calm, at least in appearance, dust and the wind kicked up in the distance. The shining light was likely expressing his actual emotions about the matter, but only Toru could visually see what was happening, but no one needed to see what was happening to know what was transpiring.

The next question came from Kirishima. He had stolen a glance at Bakugo and asked about what happened to the best jeanist, and for that, Midoriya merely shook his head, but Bakugo was the one to say out loud that he was gone. In his usual aggressive voice, he gained many looks of sympathy. He told the class how God had shown him visions of the incident, how the battle happened, and how the bastard that had done it re-destroyed Once they get back, that's the first person he's taking down, Bakugo declared. This declaration went mostly unanswered, and the thoughts on everyone's minds were what the explosive teen meant by "take down." Did it mean to just arrest him or to kill him? They knew that they couldn't take the same philosophy of this world and bring it to their own; however, emotions could get the best of them, especially in such trying times, not to mention becoming a monster and their sense of morality flying out the window, which they all feared and made sure to take extra care for.

Midoriya continued trying to hurry through everything so they couldn't dwell on one thing. He had suggested to Bakugo that maybe they could get some drinks just like last time to make everything go over easier, but Bakugo refused that suggestion and didn't want to turn the class into alcoholics if they did that too much, not to mention the fact that it was illegal for them to drink without those golden stars. However, Midoriya remarked that he was old enough to buy them from at least three of the 27 cities, but the point still stood. Midoriya went on to discuss how those things came to pass. Things started to get messy when the military had been unleashed on the public. They had tried to establish martial law in several cities that had major conflicts, implementing nationwide lockdowns. This had worked for a time, at least to regain some sense of order, but this led to backlash from some of the citizens. In an out-of-control landscape, it was hard for everyone to know who was bad or who to fight against. Things only continued to spiral the more the government tried to exert control; this was accelerated by all for one, threatening to destroy a city with decay if the heroes didn't hand over Eri.

The mention of that name caught all of their attention almost immediately, and he already began to answer the question in their minds that they had, especially since all might already have her power. Uraraka was the only this to before, but somehow stars and stripes power new order had found itself in the small girl. Stars quirk allowed her to describe two orders on anything, be it people, objects, or maybe even reality itself. It's something that all for one deeply feared and wanted to immediately get rid of if possible. He was at first content with just leaving her, as he was fully confident that within a child it was of no threat to him. But something must have changed, and he wants to remove it entirely, or more likely, just take the quirk for himself.

The heroes were put in a bad position at that point, and the fear began to build into people. Regular people fought the police and military due to that fear. Everyone saw the destruction that decay could do in the liberation war, and Jaku City having that lumbering over their heads of potential happening anywhere all for one would show up immediately turned the sentiment against the heroes even more to give the girl up to him. All for one secretly admitted that he would never do such a thing he wasn't Shigaraki; he found mindless destruction beneath him and barbaric; however, the public didn't know that and that fear would drive the heroes to act one way or another. He even admitted to all might that he wouldn't kill the child; he would simply take the quirk for himself and leave her be, or if he was generous, he would give her own quirk back to her, although that would mean that all might would wither away and die 20x faster than normal.

His plot eventually worked under pressure from the public, and the government itself forced the hero to at least bring the girl to the table, no matter how much they didn't want to, but they weren't going to just hand her over to all for one so easily; it was supposed to be an assassination attempt. The military, police, and the remaining heroes had all gathered together to take him out but they didn't doubt the man's power, especially in comparison to before, la brava had managed to break into their network and cameras during the all might breakout attempt and told the heroes of all for one taking shigaraki's nomufied body and how he was more powerful than ever before, but the heroes had their own plan which resolved around David all might partner from America, during the I-city incident that they had foiled before the cause of all that was a device that had explosively boosted ones quirk power 60 fold, recovering whatever data he could he was able to finish three of them and gave them over to the heroes endeavor, jeanist, and nagant had them for the conflict with Aizawa and monama support they were confident they would have been able to end him.

Things didn't go to plan obviously, and I don't know what happened, all for one did say that he did feel like his life was in danger for a moment, but things quickly just spiraled, and while he didn't get the quirk new order, he did get rid of his primary concern in the top two pro heroes and... and a number of "flies" out of the way. Midoriya was hesitant to speak for several moments as he looked toward his classmates before hesitantly asking if they wanted to know the casualties of the battle. Moments passed as the tension in the air almost reached a fever pitch, and everyone looked around towards the others to see what they were thinking, but ultimately they all gave a hesitant nod for him to continue. Midoriya started out with the heroes to get it over with; there had been 15 heroes along with several military and police members killed during the fighting and several heavily injured. Those that were killed were Best Jeanist, Wash, Rock Lock, Death Arms, Mandalay, Hound Dog, Burning, Sirius, and Thirteen, along with a few more heroes that he began to list off that the class wasn't so familiar with and that truthfully didn't matter to them. Bakugo was the one who got the ball rolling and wanted Midoriya to announce the villain losses; he knew that none of them would go down without a fight.

Midoriya nodded his head and continued on before he began. However, he reminded the class about how the prohibition and stigma around killing for heroes were lifted and this operation was out of their hands, so anyone participating was going for the kill in this encounter with no expectations or excuses. They had expected everyone to not come alone and wanted the opportunity to eliminate as many villains as possible. the reported number doubled that of the casualties on the heroes' side although this was likely due to the weapons involved the only notable people that had been killed on the villain's side were Moon fish, Mustard, Seven of the eight bullets besides Rappa, Ending, Trumpet, Slide'n go, Chronostaiss, Wolfram and 3 high ends, midoriya mentioned that overhaul had also died but this wasn't done to the conflict at hand, while all for one was away he had attempted to take all might away, he didn't tell him his plan but the escape attempt failed both dabi and toga had stopped him who were likely on guard for such an eventuality for that betrayal all for one likely killed the boss but he uncertain about that.

After that, things get a little hazy as the operation, despite stopping a lot of villains, still turns out poorly for the heroes due to the number of deaths involved and the story of the number 1 and 2 heroes being taken down, but also that the city that they had been fighting in was completely devastated, just like Jaku City, but on an even bigger scale. But it wasn't from decay; it was from 13 sacrificing herself so that everyone could get away, unsealing her suit, and unleashing the full power of her blackhole quirk. It nearly killed Giantomachia, but only served to rip off one of his arms and legs, which, thanks to all might, will probably be healed up, he added, but just in his head. Mirko, while alive, had been in fairly critical condition, losing essentially all of her appendages in the battle, forcing her into retirement. Essentially, all for one thinks it should be, but knowing her, she probably still tried to fight. After that battle, both sides lost track of each other, but all in all, all for one was the indisputable winner. Given that the level of destruction only poured more heat on the government and the loss of the two top heroes cemented who was in power, the heroes were made to stand down, and after the martial law was lifted for a moment, the government deemed the safety of the citizens to be of more concern than continuing to keep fighting a pointless losing battle.

This was where Bakugo took things over as he had more information. Of course, the heroes that had been continuing to fight up to that point and lost their comrades refused to just bow down to that madman and to make matters worse, this sentiment of giving up had somehow wormed its way inside the UA fortress; they don't know who leaked it, but eventually people found out that all for one wanted Midoriya, and to save themselves, they had wanted to hand him over to the "demon lord of Japan," as all for one was calling himself now. Nezu was probably forced to comply with the people under his watch; however, he wouldn't hand over his students at his school, so instead they had all of them moved away to a different location. God showed them leaving the school through a portal created by Monama to some other place he doesn't know where.

That was it. Everything that had transpired thus far, the two of them didn't know how long ago that had been or how recent, nor what the heroes were doing now or where their bodies were in the world, but the major fighting was over and the heroes lost. There was nothing but silence as the two finished speaking; no one dared speak up afterward. The information was a lot to take in, and everyone prayed for their friends and family and hoped that they were alright wherever they were. They mourned the losses of their former teachers and colleagues. Silent tears and sniffles broke in a few of the teens. However, Midoriya and Bakugo were just relieved that no monsterization was taking place, just silent mourning of what was happening in their world and how they could do nothing about it. Just the thought of it made them seem to make everyone drop into a pit of despair, but there was also ager present; they that lingered below the surface bubbling. After a solid five minutes of silence, it was Bakugo setting off a large explosion in the air that caught the group's attention. He gave a rousing speech about how the true heroes weren't giving and throwing in the towel, and neither should they. All for one, he probably knows that Midoriya is away, and so he got cocky, but he's still scared of Midoriya, one for all, and that power put him in the dirt once and it could do so again, but even more than that, they had Sylvia and Rover, both of which were even stronger than Midoriya, so they still had not only a chance but a guarantee of victory when they get back. That dork could play King all he wants, but he will only have two weeks until he's back in the dirt where he belonged.

He didn't just end it there he reiterated his challenge from before about all of them getting stronger now more than ever, they were likely going back into a world even crazier than the one they were in at the moment and they all needed the strength to survive that crazy place just like the one they were currently in, he apologized to them for changing their genetic makeup he thought his plan would have worked better than it did and they would have all gone back to just being normal but he also gave them additional abilities or talents that they should hone and allow them to become even more powerful than they would have before otherwise and now they would need to use that power to help their world and save all might. Bakguo ended his speech by setting off another explosion in the palm of his hands to punctuate his point, and he liked the serious expression everyone had when they nodded their heads in response. The class all got up and thought of a plan for the day. Despite the serious conversation they just had, Midoriya and Bakugo had suggested going into one of the cities and just enjoying the day for the moment. This was mostly Midoriya's idea, but Bakugo agreed, not wanting to add additional stress on top of the mental burden that the others were probably feeling at that moment. It would be a nice cool-down period together as a group instead of separating themselves in their homes or just taking their anger out on training itself, which wouldn't help them in the slightest.

Inside of A-city

Fubuki had just finished driving towards the fortress A-city her objective that day was an important one and this time around she could not accept no for an answer her group was at stake so she brought her A game this time she thought as she stopped looking out the window and instead looked to her right at the briefcase she brought along with her, this was a secrete mission for her so she didn't bring the entirety of her group with her it was better to keep them away front he association headquarters just in case her sisters was present there were only four people with her that being eyelashes, lily, knuckle shuffle, and one of her newest members Dame-minate which was formally went under the guise of DO-S for the helping the monster out and not arresting her or worse yet killing her the monster has agreed to work under the girl although she still has a way to go before fubuki was confident about the monsters loyalty but having her on her group has already proven to be a net boon to her, after having her take the hero exam she had managed to score into the top 20 of the A-class which was fairly splendid person to have accompanying her although she was a bit bitter about not being the highest running member in her group anymore and part of her thought about making the climb to A-class just to see how far she has come from that incident even she gained a new ablity from it, which made do-s presence even more of a blessing for her but she never minded that for now as she had arrived at her destination.

She got out and had the other two stay in the car while she and do-s went upstairs. She had do-s carry the briefcase. They went much to the monsters grumbling, but the two of them continued on. This was an urgent mission she had to do and complete for the sake of her group's future, which meant she had to really put on her best face possible to convince her target to join her. This target may have gotten a big head now given that he was now known as A-class rank 1 and was the first person in a while to have taken the mantle away from Sweet Mask, but hopefully, she could get the man to talk to her. As she reached his door in Room 104, she tentatively knocked on the door and took several glances back toward Do-s to ensure that she was not doing anything weird or stupid, but the monster rebuffed and remarked that she was just being paranoid. She didn't get a moment to respond as the door opened up and her face quickly faced forward in a hurry.

Your….fubuki? Right?" The hero called Caped Baldy, more reasonably known as Sasama, asked.

"No… My nam-...oh yes... Yes, you got that right. you finally remembered?" Fubuki responded a bit hesitantly, in shock.

"Yeah, I've seen you enough times, so I thought I might as well know who you are before you drop by again, but I didn't think it would be so soon. I'm surprised that you even found my room since I just moved in a couple of days ago."

"Stalker," Dos whispered out loud before rubbing the back of her neck as Fubuki used her esper power to slap it.

"Saitama, if you have the time, I would like to speak with you about something important," Fubuki states seriously afterward.

"I see. Come in. I've been hosting some of my neighbors, so I have some spare tea in the fridge, but if this is about joining the Fubuki group, then I'm afraid my answer is still the same... By the way, that monster won't be a problem, right?" Sasayama remarked casually as he left his front door and allowed them to enter. Dos had frozen on the spot and started to sweat as she looked at the man.

"You were very observant, saitama..." Not many could tell that she is a monster at first glance, but no, she won't be a problem. Dos has been on her best behavior since the incident and has even helped me with my new ability." Fubuki remarked as she stepped into the room. The man said it felt like someone was just moving into the place; there was no furniture in the place, forcing the two women to sit on the floor. Normally, she would find the act undignified, but she was trying to play to the bald man's taste, so she did so without question or retort.

"Oh, you got a new ability; what is it?" Sasayama asked as he put out the tea cups for all of them.

"Well, I have the ability to encapsulate people with just a glance from myself; observe," Fubuki remarked as she stared at Saitama, and out of her eyes emerged a glowing green beam of energy that quickly moved forward and wrapped itself around Saitama before disappearing completely.

"I don't feel any different? Did it work?" Saitama remarked casually.

"I never expected it to work on someone like yourself, but we are getting off-topic... Saitama I'm not here to ask you to join my group, but for you to help save it." Fubuki announced as she cleared her throat.

"Oh, are they in some sort of trouble? Were they kidnapped?" saitama asked

"No, no, nothing like that, but they are in danger of being seriously injured... by my sister," Fubuki remarked, and Saitama cocked his brow at this.

"Did they do anything to piss her off?" saitama asked

"The only offense they committed was by being around me; allow me to explain what happened." fubuki remarked

The night before

Fubuki had received startling information a few days after the big fight that she must get to her sister at all costs so she had invited the girl out to eat at a fine dining establishment in a private room next to a window side, she was thankful that her sister had come at least partially dress for the occasion wearing a dark black dress which was partially all that she wore part of her thought that she just liked the breeze it offered or maybe it was the freedom of it all she never knew she was honestly most of the time scared to ask, the two were seated and looked over the menu and choose their meals and fubuki waited until the person was out of the room when she finally started to get into business.

"I have come upon some new information regarding the group Tsukuyomi." Fubuki started suddenly with a serious expression. She saw how her sister's face noticeably dropped for a moment, but it didn't seem like a serious face but more of disappointment.

"Huh, is that the reason you brought me out here?" Tatsumaki remarked with a great degree of annoyance.

"Is…is that the only reason? Need I remind you what they did to us? When we were younger?" Fubuki remarked, astonished.

"You mean what our parents gave us up for?" tatsumaki clarified.

"Do you not wish to exterminate them with extreme prejudice? They are creating artificial espers," Fubuki stated.

"There are a bunch of artificial things being created, such as machines and cyborgs. It doesn't really matter to me if they decide to do something; if they decide to do something, then I'll squish them like the bugs they are, but if you're here to get me to win a fight for you, then I'm not interested." Tatsumaki remarked as she started to fiddle with the napkin, making it into a bibb with her powers and sticking it right into her shirt. Just as the food came in and arrived, the two sat in silence once more, just eating. Fubuki was a bit taken back by her sister's words, but the girl had never been much to care for the future of things, likely due to her confidence in her power to handle a situation that would have taken place. She would have thought from her time a couple of days ago that she would have known better, but she likely doesn't remember, or since everything was so jumbled, she elected to ignore it entirely.

"Sister, what if I told you that Tsukuyomi was making a move to acquire psykos? What would you do then?" Fubuki asked, and for a moment Tatsumaki stopped slurping on her pasta at the mention of the monster, but most importantly, Fubuki's friend was a large red flag, making her power fluctuate for a moment and making the noodles in her grasp fall to the plate, but splashed along her face. In the meantime, her sister was quick to pat her down with a napkin, reaching over the table. Part of her was insulted by the babying, but she allowed it to go unpunished as she focused back on the conversation at hand.

" Are they going to attempt to break into the hero association? Do they seriously think they're ready for that fight? Even without me present, don't think some fake espers can take out the defenses," Tatsumaki remarked, and Fubuki noticeably hardened at that, wrapping her hand around her fork before realizing it.

"No… In technical terms, they aren't doing anything wrong. Since she has been branded a monster, she has been stripped of all human rights, and therefore the association could do with her as they see fit, including selling her off, which is how Tsukuyomi will obtain her." Fubuki said with some hesitance as she carefully examined her sister's reaction. She had been hoping to use her sister's likely anger against the organization to her advantage to stop it, but if she hated their parents more than the organization for what happened, then this could all be for nothing.

"What even happened to her anyway?"She was your friend in middle school, right? How did she go from that to leading up a monster cult trying to destroy humanity?" Tatsumaki asked earnestly, and Fubuki paused before she spoke, taking a swish of her drink before she spoke.

"I would like to think that it was just because of something she saw in the future; she unlocked something called the "third eye." She was able to see into the future and had suddenly snapped one day, but I can't deny my part in her fall. Before I was an egoist, at the time when she brought up using the society of the supernatural to wipe out humanity, there was an uproar. People called her crazy and inhuman, but I didn't care about that. The only thing I was thinking about was that what would be the point of being on top of the world if there was no one else? Highs only exist with lows; there are only winners if there are losers. Psykos was trying to take the losers away from me. She is such an egoist. Psykos is my enemy; enemies must be destroyed. So... I sealed her power away from her. after her finding out... I lost track of her ever since until events, previously, but there is even more than that. When I touched her, I felt something... Something had a hold on her. I don't know what it was, but... Some part of my mind was telling me that it was something on a whole other plain of existence, something like, "

"God" Tatsumaki finished for her.

"Correct, it seems far-fetched, but you seem to think otherwise." Fubuki asked, looking at the serious expression on her face for the briefest moment. Even though she slurped noodles, her sister didn't speak for several moments as she finished swallowing her food completely with a serious expression the entire time.

"Fine, she may be a monster, but with that, we can't just hand her over to them... What do you plan on doing with her?" Tatsumaki remarked suddenly that Fubuki was equally hit with a rush of relief and intrigue, and her sister had completely bypassed her question revolving around this god creature, but clearly, it was a serious threat for her to completely change her tune like that, making her very curious, but she likely wouldn't get anywhere with her sister on it, so she would focus on the battle she had won, which there was no better way to celebrate than with dessert, so after they had ordered their dessert, Fubuki went on to finally answer her sister's question.

"I hope to figure out more about this ominous future she told me about so long ago. It may have to do with this god being, but it is something big that needs to be investigated if she went through that much to avoid it; she never was such a strong girl." fubuki remarked

"Hmmm.. okay, fine I'll put on a little act, and you will be helping me out." Tatsumaki remarked simply as she started to tell her of her plan of action and what they planned to do, the desserts came and they sat they're simply enjoying their time, the two began to talk about what happened after the events of a couple of days ago and what powers she gained form it tatsumaki had gotten something from her protegee as well or at least close to it she could repel and pull things with her fingertips as she showed this by showing things poking her one of the cups with her hands and the cup went flying backward or on her other hand she could make things pulled directly towards her, the more she touched somewhat the more further that thing has to be from her, she didn't find the ability very useful especially since she needed to physically touch someone to activate it but she digressed that the gym lessons could come in handy at least.

Fubuki thought that everything was going swimmingly, which was a rare occurrence when it came to her sister; however, that quickly changed when her sister asked about the source of her information. She eventually had to admit that, she had gotten her information directly from a member of Tsukuyomi, one of the members tried to infiltrate her ranks however thanks to her new ability and her admittedly her new member, she managed to discover the ploy and gain the information, predictably this had set her sisters off and she demanded that she cut ties with the entirety of her group especially since she now had first-hand proof how they could hinder her if she didn't have this new ability who knows what could have happened to her which wouldn't be a problem if she stuck by herself and used her own power better yet she believed that it would be better if fubuki stopped her "rebellious act" and just stick by her side especially if she was a potential target for Tsukuyomi once more, she knew that would never be the case so she instead was going to physically harm all of my group fearing for their safety fubuki made a desperate gamble and told her sister that she would officially disband her group if she was able to beat one of her members.

Present

"Hold on! We're you planning on telling any of the rest of us."Do-s remarked, surprised by the girl's tale. Fubuki mostly ignored the women and looked towards the briefcase, quickly picking it up and placing it on the table, opening it up to reveal that it was filled with bills.

"Saitama I know that you have no reason to help me, and you likely see me as a burden, but maybe this could sway you instead with 15 million yen. As someone who beat him, that must mean you are ascended as well, so you could win this for me." Fubuki concluded with a deep breath and sigh.

Saitama's eyes notably widened at the briefcase full of money, but he refocused himself back on the girl's plight fairly quickly as he took a sip of his tea.

"It seems that you already included me in this in the first place; I would have hoped to get a say in the matter," Saitama remarked as he put his tea down and put on a small smirk. He meant the gesture in jest, but the girl seemed genuinely regretful, bowing her head on the table to apologize, Saitama quickly waved her off and remarked on how he wasn't serious about it, making the girl quickly raise her head back up.

"Well, have you tried to bring this up with the association? I doubt that they would want Tatsumaki to just go about hurting people." saitama questioned

"No, she supposedly has their back into doing what she pleases with my group; it was one of the "perks" she gained by accepting one of the mutants to train with... This incident only spurred her into action," Fubuki remarked in annoyance as she plucked at her cup with a pouting face.

"Oh … I do remember being a part of that meeting. They gave us money to take in the other two—not as much as that, though. That's pretty hardcore; you probably work pretty hard to gather that much money," Saitama mentioned casually.

"You have no idea; without me, I doubt she would have been able to manage it." Dos remarked casually as she drank her tea.

"Anyways, saitama, will this be enough to hire your services, at least for the day?" Fubuki asked as she slid the briefcase closer to him. Ssaitama looked at the briefcase, examined the rows of bills at the top, and took a deep breath before reaching with a shaky, unsteady hand out towards it, very hesitantly closing the briefcase and sliding that back over to the girl. She immediately had a look of distraught on her face, but Ssaitama quickly added on.

"Sure, I'll help you. But not because of money, but because I'm a hero, helping people should be what we do, right? Besides, I do want to talk to her about destroying property; she essentially wrecked my house after all," saitama remarked, and saitama felt a small sense of satisfaction in seeing the wide smile on the girl's face. She collapsed over his hands with both of her own with surprising speed and rapidly nodded as she spoke.

"Thank you, thank you, Satama; this truly means the world to me, and I will try not to be a bother from henceforth after this." fubuki declared.

"I don't mind you coming by from time to time, but as long as you get that, I'm not going to join this group of yours; it's enough for me. So when is this showdown?" Saitama remarked simply with a shrug, and Fubuki was surprised by that response before she noticed her hands and quickly withdrew them with a slight blush.

"Alright... I will keep that in consideration. As for the duel, yes, it is today in a quarter of an hour, actually." Fubuki remarked, and Sasama let out a whistle.

"You were sure cutting things close, weren't you? Well, let me go change then." Saitama remarked as he got up stretched and went away, but he was stopped by Fubuki once more.

"No..uI actually have a suit prepared for you, so... if you are going to be a temporary member for today, then it would be suspect if you didn't have the wardrobe to play the part, right?" fubuki remarked, saitama rolled his eyes but nodded his head nonetheless and he was surprised that the women had brought along three different suits with her she didn't have his measurements but she guessed his numbers with varying degrees of accuracy, saitama settle on one of them it bit snug but that could be just in comparison to what he normally wears which was more breathy and less proper, he elected to forgo buttoning the suit up at all and forgone wearing the tie as it would probably get ripped off during all the fighting, which made him think about fighting in the cloths in the first place it probably wasn't up to standard with his regular hero costume given his special tailor but given they wear them all the time it shouldn't be too bad or at least he hoppe he doesn't want to be fighting naked again espcially in front of a women if he could help it.

The time passed quickly, and the small women landed down in front of Saitama's house once more.

"Alright, let's make this quick, so who is this chump that's going to get squashed?" tatsumaki asked

"That would be me." Saitama spoke simply, and almost instantly Saitama felt a power grip over him. He moved his head to one side and then the other in a questioning maneuver, as Tatsumaki was fairly shocked by the lack of results she had from her power.

"I guess that means we started then? Not even time for a high or exchanging names?" saitama remarked casually just as the pressure on him increased he felt his body go tingly for a moment but more worryingly the entire area had started to vibrate multiple of Saitama's neighbors came outside to see what was happening forte, butterfly dx, and chain'n' toad curious to see what all the focus was all about and were frightened by the appearance of Tatsumi present saitama casually waved at them before turning his sights back on tatsumaki the girl seemed surprised by his casualness and reapplied herself powering up, even more, causing even more havoc from the rumbling but saitama leisurely stepped forwards through her power, the very streets had started to buckle and crack from the strain.

"Yo Fubuki, I'll be taking your sister far away, but we'll be back in a few minutes, so don't go anywhere." Saitama remarked simply.

"Oh..umm…understood," Fubuki remarked, confused.

"You are confident are-" Tatsumaki was cut off as the man suddenly appeared in front of her, and she felt her hand being grabbed by his, his fingertips entwining with her own, and him closing even closer to the point that his body mushed against her. She was so surprised by that fact that she almost completely shut down. Her thoughts left as she tried to remember when was the last time someone had managed to touch her so physically. Could she even remember a time when she even hugged her sister like that? And was he giving her orders, isn't he, her stooge, she thought before her thoughts were disturbed as the wind smacked her on the top of the head. Even with her shield, they had to be moving incredibly fast for that to happen, but as she looked down and felt the man's chest, she reacted, yelling at the man to let her go, calling him a pervert even when he was pressing her hard against his chest.

She eventually gained her bearings for a moment before focusing on using her power once more. She used her power to quickly stop the both of them in mid-air before spinning them around very quickly and eventually slamming the man down on the wet ground. She thought as a puddle of water and muddy dirt splashed up to greet her. She was free, however, and used the moment to back away from the guy and see just where the hell she had taken her. She looked around and saw nothing—nothing at all in fact—no building, no streets, and no people. She would have initially thought he took her back to the Z-City Ghost Town, but there wasn't even rubble still around, just what seemed to be wetland and small islands. That just peaked above the vast amount of water that was everywhere. She looked over to the bald idiot, who completely stomped, but she was even more surprised that within what almost seemed like the blink of an eye, the guy changed from his now-wet suit and pants to a bright yellow costume with red boots and a white cape.

"What with the quick costume change? And where are we?" Tatsumaki spoke suddenly.

"Huh, that… Well, you ruined my clothes, so I had to change into something more comfortable. Well, it's my fault. I had thought Garou pushed this place out a bit more than this. That may have been in another timeline, then, huh? As for where we are, We are on the other side of the planet, so feel free to let loose; you seem to have a pretty tough time with that." Saitama remarked casually. Tatsumki scrunched her face at the ending and remarked.

"Excuse me? I could handle my power just fine! And on the other side of the planet? Are you trying to make a joke? Well, it wasn't funny—baldy, pervert, creep." Tatsumaki started to lay into him with insults before Sasama interrupted her.

"Yap, yap, yap… Are you just throwing insults because you're scared to fight me?" saitama taunted

"Scared!? Who would be scared of an underling like you!?" Tatsumaki yelled out.

"Could have fooled me... Let's hurry this up already," Saitama remarked with a slight chuckle, raising a single fist.

His taunting got the girl to see red, and a storm started to appear around her. The storm steadily built up as whirling large rocks started to flow around her.

"I'll wipe that smug look off your face for the end of time; you'll never be able to hang around Fubuki again." Tatsumaki spoke menacingly through the hear of the storm before launching off with multiple rocks and barraged directly at the man. Sitama watched as the rock came at him in slow motion as he thought how fun it would be to ride that storm like it was a slide before dodging out of the way of the attack. Sitama yelled at her and called her blind as she had still been attacking where he once was earning their girls. Saitama smiled as he punched the rock into pieces.

"You know I fought someone before... He was an octopus, claiming himself to be the best " esper in the universe," and all he did was throw rocks as well. Is that all the Esper powers have to offer? It seems pretty lame if you ask me." Saitama remarked honestly as he dodged out of the way of several more rocks before standing still as the rock barrage slowed to a stop and the storm suddenly disappeared. He watched as it did so, and he expected to find the girl in the center, but instead, he found a rock puppet.

"You do know that your master is also an esper with "boring" powers right? But throwing rocks isn't all that we can do allow me to demonstrate!" tastumaki said from behind him and suddenly he was hit by an invisible force that made him take a step backward one step, several more impacts hit him directly in the chest and he slid backward a few more paces before brushing at his costume and looking up at her.

"Well, I'm still not impressed…even I can do stuff like that." saitama remarked simply as he picked up a rock and flung it toward her hitting her in the stomach and making her gasp for breath before he flapped his cape in her general direction and sending the woman flying backwards as massive wind gust had appeared almost like out of nowhere. Tatsumaki was in complete shock as she finally managed to stabilize herself.

"You know I heard some rumors that said that you roll commando, I'm glad to know that they were wrong." saitama remarked behind her, making her blush incredibly before sending a wave of energy behind her tossing up millions of metric tons of dirt at not only the sudden voice but what it said.

"You pervert! I'll never trust fubuki to someone as perverted as you! So I'm getting you the hell away from her…just because you're a little strong you think you can look down on me!? If I was serious I would easily snap you in half." tatsumaki shouted simply to the mounds of dirt and mud she kicked up she was surprised and slightly disturbed when the man's head rose up from the ground almost like a zombie completely unharmed.

"Well go all out then?... You can't beat me." saitama remarked as he stood up completely and shook the dust out of his belt once more.

'What the hell is that…I can't beat you? Who the hell do you think you are!?" tatsumaki remarked as her power flared around her. She dashed forward raising two large columns of dirt as she did so before spinning it around in a spiral and shooting it forward directly at the hero's face. Still, all she hit was empty air as the man suddenly disappeared causing her to search around for where he went, the man was waving at her a distance away with one hand before yawning getting her even angrier as she used both of her hands and lifted the entire ground beneath him and launching it straight up into the air before turning it over and slamming it back down into the ground but the piece of earth was suddenly completely obliterated from sight. Making her cock an eyebrow at the man before she dashed forwards raising more earth from out of the ground and encapsulating the man in a sphere of the earth but the sphere was never completed as another shockwave hit her this time one more condensed right in the chest causing her to take a heavy breath.

Tatsumaki was flung back by the blow once more but wouldn't let things end just like that, as she unleashed another wave of esper energy attempting to blow the man away although he weathered the storm easily walking through her power and reached out for her tatsumaki lacking many other options finally used the other ability that she gained from that event touching the man's gloved hand with her finger and poking him once didn't seem to do much but it did cause him to get push back a hairbreadth so she continued with her assure tapping him 20 more times and finally she had been giving space filing the man backward through the air. She continued her assault before smacking him in the air with multiple esper strikes and ping-ponged him through the air, this occurred three times before the fourth had actually missed the man had seemingly dodged it but even weirder the guy seemed to dodge every subsequent attempt to strike him, he also seemed to move way to precisely in the air bouncing off what seemed like nothing at all. She at first thought that he may have been an esper this entire time but she felt no energy from him during this entire conflict and not even when he changed direction as he seemingly hopped around in the air.

She raised giant boulders high into the air as the battle took to the air, she was completely shocked by this person's ability especially once she realized that she had been going full power for some time now, in the skies of the battle she realized that the idiot may have been telling the truth as she couldn't see any sort of civilizations for miles to see but she put that to the back of the mind as that just meant he was telling the truth of her not needing to hold back she completely obliged with it now letting her power flow.

As up until now, without any opponents outside of life-or-death battles that could take her on, for her this battle with saitama was fun. She had assumed that such an opponent was only possible with blast...this weird man…was effortlessly unharmed.

After another widespread attack, scattering the land all about and even lifting a literal mountain of earth which she shifted into a large spear to throw towards the guy filled with her power giving it a golden green glow but even that attack was not only stopped but completely obliterated, the air pressure wave had nearly struck her but she was suddenly shoved out of the way and into the ground just from the attack alone her strength had been taxed and she was on the verge of blacking out but the shove was the last straw and her mind went black before another scene began to play instead once more it was about the past during that fateful day where she was rescued she followed blast advice and she immediately went to go find her sister, she had located her but some members of Tsukuyomi had found her but she was able to quickly kill them before retuning to her sister but she was more innocent them me, th friegthig sight of freshly killed people by her hand no less was to much from her it caused her to awaken her abilities she was the reaso that her sister ws brought into the messed up world of espers and as such it was up to her to protect her and only she could do it. Her mind went bright white for a moment as she thought about Blast next, she believed that if she was strong then Blast would acknowledge her he would find her a different path to live like, she was the only person that she was willing to take advice from because living life with people being in constant fear of her.

It just wasn't working out but it was the only way she knew how..if they didn't fear her then the same thing could happen all over again but she hadn't been able to see him and even when he did come back he didn't even speak to her but she still followed his request … would he ever acknowledge her she wonders as her eyes started to slowly open up blast face slowly melting away into the blinding light and the face of the bald man head shining in the light looking down at her, she attempted to sit up only to realize that he had been carrying her like a princess, she quickly squirmed out of his grasp rapidly hitting the man all over so that he could drop her.

"Hey, hey calm down I just didn't want you getting all dirty in all this mud around. I'll put you down now just chill." Saitama remarked at the thrashing girl in his hands, once hearing that the girl stopped fidgeting in his hands, saitama was elated to put her down gently and make sure that she was stable enough to stand on her own before removing himself from her. Tatsumaki got a bit of a good look at the man and recognized him.

"Wait your that guy that dethroned sweet mask right? They claimed that you beat garou and that you…you."

"Stole king's power? Well, that's their theory anyway" saitama finished.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense why you can do so well… but why are you with my sister? Are you really her underling?" tatsumaki asked

"Nope.. this was just a temporary arrangement." saitama remarked simply with a shrug.

"So she cheated! I knew it, all those dorks around her are just a liability." tatsumaki remarked

"Well it's not cheating if no rules were technically set but I wouldn't say she's nothing to me …I look to her as an acquaintance." saitama remarked after a bit of thought.

"Just an acquaintance so why would you go this far for her? Did she pay you? " tatsumaki questioned

"She tried to but I declined and did it because heroes are supposed to help those in need and we don't need heroes hurting each other…. She told me about what happened you know… you're doing this to protect her aren't you?" saitama replied tatsumaki took a small inhale as she looked at the man.

"I don't know why someone as clueless as you could see it but not her." Tatsumaki remarked with a flare of energy away, which saitama probably likened to kicking the air.

"Well that's because she likes her group.., she managed to scavenge 15 million yen in a day to support them, that's some hardcore dedication if I've ever seen it…if someone was trying to take something that I was willing to go that far for I would fight back with all my heart as well…I did do that once during the incident last week in fact." saitama remarked in a faraway voice as he turned to look at the sky, tatsumaki sat in silent deliberation for a brief moment.

"What did happen that day? And how were you involved I don't remember seeing you at all." tatsumaki asked

"Well, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you… all that matters is that with the power I have... That day showed me that I shouldn't just treat being a hero as a hobby and I need to be more alert about things, things I didn't even know existed." saitama remarked simply.

"Like god?" tatsumaki replied.

"Yes exactly… speaking of…I don't know where this came from but I do have a memory of Blast telling me to tell you, that you've grown strong and he sends his regards ." saitama remarked as he placed a hand on the girl's shoulder she didn't immediately swat it off as she was stunned by the bald man's words.

"Are you saying Blast helped that day?" tatsumaki questioned and saitama nodded.

"Yup. He and his team have been battling god for who knows how long now, even with my strength I got to hand it to them if they fight things like what appeared on that day all the time." saitama remarked casually.

"Wait! Blast has a team!? Who are they? where are they? How can you join?" tatsumaki remarked with a tirade of questions, saitama raised two hands to placate the girl.

"I don't know them personally, not even their names just that he has about a dozen of them some of them not even from this world and likely this very universe either, as for how to join I don't know… I guess if you are strong enough I guess." saitama speculated.

"But I'm plenty strong! Why wouldn't I be at least trialed or something!? You just say that Blast said that I was strong." tatsumaki ranted.

"You've grown strong, there is a difference. In comparison to him and me, you are still weak. Not up to the challenge of facing off against God, a lot of people well everyone isn't beside me when we talking about this planet at least." saitama remarked simply making the girl scoff as she looked at him once more but upon looking at him and seeing how unscathed and unbothered he had been the entire fight, she even fainted from overusing her power at that point she was at his complete mercy…yet he simply held her and kept her from being dirty.

"You…you…you move too well for someone that just got that power a week ago." tatsumaki remarked.

"Well, I did call it a theory for a reason, if that's what people believe then so be it" saitama remarked with a shrug.

Tatsumaki scrutinized him for a moment, he was hiding something with that comment, and taking his skills into account it could imply that he had always been this strong but surely he would have graduated quickly to the S-class if not immediately after his exam…looking at his face she remembered him even more now he was there during the A-city attack those months ago and he was also supposedly on the ship…which now put into perspective of what he said before about beating an esper claiming to be the universe best esper which she doubted was better than her but still…if he did take down that ship from the inside then have had to have power from the very start even she couldn't bring it down without risking the heroes fighting below and also tiring herself out, she felt a single powerful presence on that ship that she would need to take care of but as the ship went down that powerful presence also vanished and he popped out, did he beat it? Was he hurt back then either? She searched her mind for a moment bringing up the moment when she launched the newest S-class into a wall and instead focused on him and no…no he was uninjured there as well.

"You…you beat the boss of that ship that invaded A-city a couple of months ago?" tatsumaki asked.

"Yeah, I did..his name started with a B truthfully forgot it honestly." saitama remarked, rubbing the back of his head.

"Whatever it was it was strong, and you're telling me you just beat it so easily you don't even find it memorable?" tatsumaki challenged.

"I guess he would rank in the third spot of the top five enemies" saitama remarked running a hand along his chin in thought.

"Hoo? What about me? How would you rate our fight just now?" tatsumaki asked curious about it.

"Fith or sixth, I think when garou was just a monster he could maybe beat you it depends he could outlast you if you go clocking out like that." saitama replied flatly, tatsumaki powers flared once more and she considered starting the fight all over again, but her eyes dropped down to his hands one of them held a blade with a crescent moon shape along its hilt.

"You use weapons instead?" tatsumaki questioned pointing to the blade in his grasp.

"Huh? Oh, this? No, I just use my fist…this is for someone else. They were looking for it and from that day I knew it was around here somewhere, I had been meaning to get to it eventually and when your sister came to me with this deal I thought it was the perfect opportunity to knock out two birds with one stone." saitama remarked with a nervous chuckle as he knew what this reaction would give him.

"So you're telling me…you used me as an excavator! " Tatsumaki yelled as she threw rocks at him which simply hit open air as he just disappeared again behind her.

"Yeah sorry! I'll let you cool off see you back at the base!" saitama yelled out before, again just as the girl summoned Earth to crush him but nothing was there, and just like that the man was gone, a line of parted ground in his path and waved of rocks and water springing up separating creating a lane, tastumaki had to admit one thing the guy was at least fast as she started to make her when in the same direction he just did so, she had been legitimately surprised that he really did bring her to the other side of the planet. The trip back took a little over seven seconds, which was no time at all but she did find it rude of him to take her to the place and not take her back but when she thought about how he did so she flushed and completely erased it from her mind.

She arrived back at the base to find the bald idiot waving at her from in front of his room door, waving her inside, inside she found her sister waiting patiently sipping tea, she floated up to her and pointed at her threateningly.

"Despite your cheating, I'll let you off the hook this time, as for you baldy" tatsumaki.

"Just call me saitama please." saitama remarked with a heavy sigh

"Baldy! I'll be back to test myself…how high would I have to rank to be considered for his team? As strong as you?" tatsumaki questioned. Saitama paused for a moment hesitant about what to say, he didn't want someone else trying to reach the nearly impossible goal of catching up with him.

"If you can get into my top three then I'm sure you would be strong enough to join." saitama remarked simply.

"Hmph fine then…fubuki let's go, I don't like you hanging around this guy... He's too touchy... And we need to talk about your relationship with him" tatsumaki remarked lifting a finger and floating the girl up and about to leave saitama home.

"Wait hold on, let me in on this plans of yours. From the sounds of it, you guys will be doing something illegal in going against the association." saitama remarked.

"We don't need your help. I know what I'm doing" tatsumaki started immediately

"Shouldn't we hear him out, sister? If we can avoid you getting into trouble it would be a good thing." fubuki stated and tatsumaki gave her a look of disbelief before she turned towards saitama once more and dropped her sister down and floated over to the table.

"Fine what do you have in mind in that smooth head of yours." tatsumaki remarked and saitama seriously grits his teeth.

'Well, how about you guys just let them take her-" saitama remarked.

"Ok we're done here." tatsumaki remarked turning and floating away.

"Allow me to finish, other than controlling your power you could control your temper as well." saitama remarked.

"Oh? Temper …I'll show you temp-"

"Nope." saitama said simply as the girl got in his face and her power started to flare once more his hand rose incredibly quickly and slashed down along the girl's neck at an incredible speed that no one in the room could be making it seem like tatsumaki just fell unconscious out of nowhere, he caught her before she dropped from the sky and gently laid her down on the ground before focusing his attention back on fubuki…in that meantime, the girl had just caught up to what was happening but the shock of seeing her sister just randomly falling out she wanted to make sure she was ok even though saitama assured her she was fine, after assuring so they continued with the topic at hand.

"As I was saying, umm..yeah just let them take her follow them out and just ambush them and take her that way the association also doesn't look bad for souring a deal and no one gets in trouble." saitama remarked.

"But if we attack then they will know that heroes were behind it? We are all recognizable even you. Fubuki countered

"That's true true, oh well there is a monster around I can see if I can find to take care of it." saitama remarked with a snap of his fingers.

"Is this person strong?" fubuki asked

"Yeah she was a dragon-level threat and a monster association cadre." saitama remarked casually and once again fubuki eyes bulged out of her head at the casualness of him knowing a dragon-level threat was out there.

"Are you sure this person is trustworthy?" fubuki asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." saitama remarked

"Well OK, I'll trust in your judgment, now if you'll excuse us...we can manipulate a rendezvous to pick up their estranged member if they care enough… but why are you helping me saitama you didn't even take the money." fubuki questioned.

"Well at first I was just doing what felt like the right thing to do but once you spoke of god, I want those details about that ominous future as well. That's all I will ask of you for this, just to share anything you learn from her about it with me." saitama remarked and fubuki paused for a moment looking at saitama or someone who looked incredibly like him he was acting completely different to how he usual does that uncaring attitude seemed completely gone his face was sharper and detailed but she quickly realized she was staring and nodded her head and agreed with saitama and the two shook on it, she took her sister and left the home leaving the man alone at least until his neighbors visited right after the left to make sure saitama was ok.

2 days Later

Week 2

Floor B13

A guard leads four individuals along the cells of the association, led by one of the guards. The guard stops at one of the cells and inputs a passcode, allowing the large door. The inmate had just recently been sedated, allowing the visitor safe entry into the establishment. The room was completely barren and white and revealed only a single occupant, who was in its center tied down; it was a woman in jeans and a white t-shirt. Despite the normal nature of the woman sitting in the chair, the extra-strength walls of the environment indicated clearly that this was no normal convict, and as the group of four walked, the woman's true nature was revealed: the unconscious woman strapped to the chair was none other than the monster association's mastermind, Psykos. Three of the association's members were hesitant to enter, but their client held no such fear.

"According to our surveillance data, this individual was even able to fight on even ground with Tatsumaki. A bet temporarily, was she not?"

"Yes, judging from the reports, that was the case." A bald gentleman replied

"She's a viable specimen with quite a few noteworthy features, not to mention the aforementioned physical mutation. We appreciate you providing her to us." Their client replied, and the three association members replied kindly, thanking the kind man for his generosity in providing them with much-needed funds given their recent lack of such and how they look forward to future deals they can make.

They had already rebranded the woman as a monster in the public eye, so he was free to run any experiments they wished upon her without worry of repercussions.

"For us, Tsukuyomi, this sample will no doubt bring about a great leap forward in our research." The client remarked, looking down on the girl.

"Tsuku…yo..mi" Psykos whispered as her mind faded in and out of consciousness before realizing who the person was and her power flaring outwards. She sent a psychic wave straight towards the individuals, but it was completely blocked. The three association members scampered behind him to save themselves and were in shock that the medication was not working, but just as quickly as the outburst was let out, it was quickly stopped as the man pointed two fingers in the girl's direction and beamed a direct line towards the girl's brain. Her esper waves were weakened by the drugs, allowing him easy access to silence them.

"Now, this would all be for nothing if we ended up damaging your precious brain. Because here within the "Third Eye," We've heard so much about the secret to seeing into the future," the client remarked.

"Would you like to torture her? We have facilities over there," the bald man said once more as everything seemed to calm down.

"No need to perform a very thorough craniotomy on her back at the lab." The client replied

"Ah, I see. Should we prep her for transport for you?" One of the members spoke, and the client shook his head before raising two of his fingers, levitating the girl and breaking her out of her restraints.

"There will be no need for that; I will just take her on my way. Thank you again for your hospitality," the client replied, and despite the fidgeting of the three association members, they all nodded their heads in understanding before slowly making their way outside, taking the large elevator meant to take down larger monsters to the holding cells below to back up. They accompanied their client to his vehicle, where he stuffed the women into the backseat before giving only a two-finger salute before driving off out of the headquarters. None of them had even seen his face given that he was wearing a mask the entire time, but they didn't care; they had succeeded with the transaction and hopefully gained a new very wealthy backer, which would benefit the association but, more importantly, their careers.

Apollo continued to drive the vehicle, taking off his mask and adjusting his rear-view mirror to focus on the unconscious woman in the back before using his other hand to use his ESP abilities to reach for the phone in his pocket. Things had been going swimmingly; his plan had been going well, and operation one was complete. He called his secondary member lying in ambush; he had received positive information that he had been successfully able to implant his trap into their secondary target. They were under no illusions that they would be able to take on their primary target, especially with the data they managed to recover from the incident, but with that Trump card lying in wait along with improvements they would gain from dissecting the women in the back of his car, that could change very soon. Yes, very soon, natural psychics will be nothing more than a memory; they are a defective species that they will stamp out, starting with those two sisters. He complimented his partner on his good work and reported his successful mission. He told the man to get ready to be picked up at the designated rendezvous, but he would likely still be staying undercover inside of the fubuki group to monitor the girl's movements and set up a plan for her sister. When they were prepared for now, they would have him return to base and see where they would go from there. He asked for a pickup point and received the message before hanging up and continuing on his way.

The drive took about 30 minutes. Apollo had to constantly keep a keen eye on the girl in his back seat he may have gotten something to keep her knocked out for an even longer degree of time however it would serve to be no problem even if she woke up she wouldn't be able to use her power for about 2 hours and she would remain weak and by that time he should already be back at the base and have he secured for her operation, the place he picked up his partner was supposed to be a late night parking garage since it was not supposed to be open during the day it was completely isolated and free of anybody that could spot them, he likely chose the location to ensure that neither fubuki nor any of her stooges interfered, he came into the garage using his esper abilities to lift the blocker and there he was waiting to keep a constant lookout, this place also served as a good lookout to check if he was being followed by anyone in the association which he wasn't but they wanted to wait a couple of minutes to really be sure of that.

Five minutes passed as they kept a constant watch out for anything that resembled the association vehicles but none came and no car stopped allowing them to finally back in their car and head toward their base of operations, that was until a giant blast of fire had completely burst forwards down the empty garage, the two Tsukuyomi members reacted almost instantly putting up a protective barrier to defend themselves but even with that the flames were excruciating painful burning their hands through the force field but they withered it just barely as the fired had stopped, through the fire emerged a figure in the darkness a tall towering figure that looked human but as it stepped into the light revealed that this was a monster. She wore a silver garb and had circular ears on top of her head, with red armored scales almost like beetles' hide attached to her arms and legs while fur covered her shins, hands, and wrists. Her hands produced sharp blade-like claws on either side of them, and her face looked human enough except for the same reddish scales decorating the sides of each of her cheeks.

Apollo, however, took note of the garb exactly along with the information they had on the monster association; he knew who the monster was and that it was a dangerous one, so he immediately raised his hand and pointed two fingers towards her as the monster walked forwards, hoping the psychic waves would explode her head like a grape, but all he got for his efforts was a minor flinch as the monster continued forwards.

"I must thank you for rescuing our boss from that armored fortress. It would have been quite the hassle to break in on our own with the new defense system, although for that attack, just now I'll be taking the arm." The monster spoke before taking another step, and in that next instant, the hand that had been pointing towards was completely gone, shaved off to the elbow where his other hand was planted.

Apollo screamed in pain and panic, dropping down on the ground and crawling backward on the ground. A loud crash was heard behind him, and his partner turned around just in time to get barraged by flaming feathers that ripped right through his barrier and seared his flesh and bones, making him cower down on the ground beside him. The smoke cleared from the monster to reveal none other than another cadre, which was Phoenix Man.

Apollo looked at the situation at hand and inwardly panicked; he couldn't beat one dragon-level threat just yet, let alone two strong ones. It was a disastrous scenario that they did not account for. He looked towards the car once more and believed that he at least had a chance of survival if he could bluff his way out of the situation.

"Wa-Wait! You're here for psykos, right? Well, if you take one more step, then I will activate a pill inside of her that will kill her instantly with a single gesture of my command." Apollo remarked, standing up and attempting to regain his composure and hold on to the situation, but he was in shock when suddenly both monsters simply laughed at him.

"By all means, go ahead; I will just revive her anyway." The Phoenix man spoke out, making Apollo turn towards him in shock, but in that same instant, he found himself lifted into the air, a heavy hand slowly crushing it. He thrashed in the woman's grip, but to no avail.

"You never had an option for what was going to happen. You should have left when you had the chance." Silver Chain spoke before, and with a quick flick of her wrist, she snapped the man's throat and dropped his body on the floor.

"Take it away; it's yours now. Don't heal the injuries completely; we need to make it believable that they managed to get away.

"I'll secure psykos... Saitama, it's done." Silver Chain spoke to the Phoenix Man, and then over the comms, just a minute later, Sasama appeared almost as if out of thin air, and a minute after that, Fubuki showed up along with her sister in a limo. Silver was just getting Psykos out of the car and holding her out for Fubuki to grab a hold of. The girl was barely conscious but managed to recognize Fubuki before falling asleep once more.

The Phoenix man had just finished reviving one Tsukuyomi member, while the other was somewhat healed from the damage he took from his attack. Tatsumaki kept a wary eye on both of the monsters and in turn, Saitama kept an eye on Tatsumaki. They had discussed what was going to happen to her a little later on; she didn't trust the monster, and the monster didn't trust her not to kill them, so he was there as a peacekeeper.

Silver Chain reported on what Apollo said but got clarification from the newly revived man that he was just bluffing about it. Everything had gone in the hero's favor for the moment. The two members could tell them all they knew about Tsukuyomi, including where one of their bases was, and while Tatsumaki wanted to go and immediately destroy it, Fubuki halted her sister's destructive rampage, at least for the moment.

She wanted to take down the entire organization, not just a single base, so they needed information, and the two Tsukuyomi members would be their spies to gain that information. Surprisingly, Tatsumaki actually listened to her sister once, standing down and following her sister into the limo with psykos and the two Tsukuyomi members in tow.

Saitama thanked the two monsters for their help when he got his call. It was from his newly assigned pager, similar to the one the King had; it was for the most important missions, of course, and this was no exception. A giant hedgehog had been spotted in H-city, and they were seeing if he was close by to assist. While he was technically in C-city, he lied and said he was close by with someone of his speed. Everything was close by, and he would dawdle about as he usually does, getting to disasters. He once again thanked the two present and vanished from both of their sights.

H-city

Emergency evacuation warning emergency evacuation morning. In regards to the giant monster that suddenly appeared. The disaster level has been adjusted from demon to dragon. We are now recommending evacuation of the entirety of H-city. All citizens, please remain calm and evacuate. The monster is continuing with its destructive rampage, the Eastern portion of H-city is almost completely leveled. If this keeps up, humane civilization itself may be in danger. That's what the scene here looks like. We've been informed that the pro heroes, Police, and firefighters who were in the area and rushed to the scene have all been wiped out. OH! There's just been an announcement from the hero association that a specialist hero has been sent to deal with the threat and is arriving as we speak.. wait someone is already there on top of a building facing the monster down is that him? We'll be sure to cover as much of the epic battle as we can before we leave soon. Hopefully, this hero can shine in our time of need.

The news helicopter narrated as they circled over the rampaging monster, the man had mysteriously appeared on top of a building in front of the creature but just a glance over the man's figure proved that he did not belong to the S-class and that he was the newest rank 1 A-class hero caped baldy, this was met with a large sign of dismay from the helicopter crew not expecting an A-class to be capable of handling such that but they would not dare such things on air which would only cause more panic they could only hope that the hero association knew what they were doing by sending him out here and in what sounded like thunder the monster head seemingly just vanished into thin air making everyone in the helicopter just blankly stare in utter shock, the monster body slumped down into the building they at least expected it to knock it over but it did no such thing the man had completely halted the monster movement gripping along the edge of the creature now leaking wounds and…and …the monster just disspeared?

It was nowhere to be seen. The camera crew had even more stunned faces, but this was nothing compared to what happened next. The man standing on top of the large building overlooking the carnage that had transpired due to the monster assault started to glow a bright, vibrant yellow as if an aura was exuding off of him. It cast up and outwards toward the destruction. The news report had actually stood up to really witness what was happening down below: the destruction. All of it was being healed, restored, and fixed, almost like the incident never happened. Within a few moments later, the light faded and the city was restored to brand new, but not just that. The people—the people who had failed to get out of the monster's rampage—were alive. They could see from the helicopter some scampering, a little confused and wobbly, but they had been alive. It was almost like a miracle took place.

The reporter demanded that the helicopter land next to the building, they needed answers the people needed answers and the pilot followed her instructions after recovering from his stupor of the insane events that had just taken place it was almost like this was a dream, the reporter quickly fixed herself and focused the camera back on to her from the magic that was happening to the ground, with a slight tear to the face she announced that everything was fine, that the hero had successfully vanquished the monster but not only that the hero had brought back the coast of H-city and they were coming down to interview that hero right now, the hundreds of cars that had been clogging traffic had suddenly come to a stop looking out over the horizon at the non-existent monster and the newly recovered city, the people all cheered and looked to the big screens all of which was showing the news of the helicopter slowing lowering down to the building the rank 1 A-clas hero, the reporter stepped out and immediately rushed forwards towards the hero as he took notice of them and turned around to face them.

The reporter first and foremost thanked the hero on behalf of the entirety of H-city for coming to their aid and helping resolve their crisis, but the main topic of discussion was focused on him.

"Sir, caped baldy? Is that how we should address you?" The reporter asked a bit hesitantly as the name seemed more insulting than flattering, and judging by the man's scrunched-up face, she imagined he thought so as well as he shook his head.

"No, Sitama is fine; it is preferred, actually," Sitama remarked casually.

"Good saitama, then. Now excuse me if this sounds rude or ungrateful for saving us, but just how did you defeat that monster? It was a dragon-level threat, and while you are no doubt strong, being A-class rank 1, even an S-class individual would have presumably struggled at least somewhat. Just what exactly did you do?" The women spoke.

"I punched it. Oh well, I guess you could say that my current position is just a placeholder until the association finds out where they want to place me in the S-class." Sasayama remarked casually before seeing the confusion on the woman's face and adding that extra bit to help them understand at least a little bit more, which worked out splendidly.

"Ah, of course, with the retirement of Bang and the strange events that happened a week ago, the hero ranking and order are in flux, so what you are saying is that you are going to be one of the new S-class heroes of the association. Where do you think you will rank? Will you be taking Bang's spot?" The reporter asked

"I don't know; I guess somewhere in the top 10 would be nice, but I'm fine anywhere. I don't put many stalks in rankings; heroes are people that help others; ranking shouldn't matter as long as they are doing that," Saitama replied.

"A very humble hero indeed, but more about this incident here: how did you manage to repair the city? Is it some sort of secret ability you have? What was that?" The reporter asked as she stuck a hand out to the fixed destruction.

"Oh, that? Yeah, it's a new ability I have. I'm still working it out myself, but I know that I can't do it a lot and that it takes time to build up, so I can't fix things all the time. I wish I had been warned sooner to prevent the destruction entirely, but as long as the people are okay, I'm satisfied," Saitama remarked.

"Well, thank you again on behalf of H-city for using this secret move to help us; I'm sure many families are deeply grateful for that as well. I know that you are probably busy, so I won't hold you up, but my final question is: Will you rebrand yourself once you enter the S-class, and if so, what will your new hero's name be?" The reporter asked, and Saitama had to pause at that. He never really thought about what he would like to be called instead of his ridiculous name, but one thing did pop into his mind that he thought was kind of cool that someone had called him before.

"Indomitable First, "Saitama remarked simply; the girl's scales had reminded him of the giant centipede, the second one that had called him that or something simialar. He never thought he would see two giant centipedes in his lifetime which wasn't a lot but it was strange it happened twice, but he guessed he never thought such a god could exist either.

"A wonderful name, and hopefully the start of a promising career as well! All of H-city will be rooting for you!" The reporter replied with enthusiasm.

R-City

A Different Heart: Sweet Mask, Aoyama

Sweet Mask watched the interview with the newly appointed A-class rank-one hero. As soon as he had gotten the message of someone superseding him, the anger he felt was only doused by the fact that the man had been incredibly strong; he was the one that defeated Garou after all. He saw how that man looked; it was the single time he could remember in his life that he was swept up in fear and could not move, but this man had not only dispatched such an adversary but did so with such ease and fear. The only thing he lacked was grace, but that could be fixed at a different time. His thoughts on the man were somewhat hampered when it was told to him that the man had just inherited the king's power; however, once he talked to his protegee about it, he explained to him the truth, and he was even more angered by it. To find out the supposedly strongest man was a weakling was mind-bending; he honestly didn't know what to believe, but none of it mattered that the king was serious about retiring, so whether he was a fraud or not was of none of his concern as he watched the new report of what was happening in H-city.

Yes, he would need some work in terms of grace and speaking, although his words were better than he expected from his appearance, and his hero name was fairly creative as well; it gave off a great degree of power and finality. Yes, this man had potential, he thought, as he unfortunately tuned back into the present. In front of him was his director and his idea for a new Idol group of seven boys. He even had them all take the Heroes exam and thought that it was impressive that only two of them managed to pass the C-class exam. Such an insult didn't even deserve a reply, and he told him as such.

"Zero appeal. Don't talk to me. I have no interest in phonies," Sweet Mask replied simply.

"Sweet Mask You are under the same agency as them, you know? There you precious juniors!" The director replied

"You asked for my advice; that was it. Got it? Don't talk to me." Sweet Mask remarked, standing up and finally looking at the group of "bubbly boys."

"Wha-what are you saying?" The director asked

"Director, you used me as an example. This is what you could come up with. I'm in a bad mood. Do me a favor and stop mass-producing these disgusting fakes like these." Sweet Mask spoke simply. One of the bubbly boys named Cheerion took exception to that and started listing off things that he believed that he was Sweet Mask's equal. They even believed that the difference between a C-class hero and an A-class hero was small enough to see where their numbers could take him. It was all such simple stupidity that he couldn't believe someone with a cognitive brain was saying it. Maybe that was it. They were not cognitive beings, at least not fully. They did say something somewhat interesting revolving around his director and how he believed that his hero persona was getting in the way of his idol status and how it made him "hard to handle." The two bubbly boys members spoke about how they were fully committed to the idol and entertainment business and were just going to use the "lame" hero title as a stepping stone for their careers. They even dared to call him a half-assed and fake idol, and even when Sweet Mask attempted to tell them how the hero title wasn't one to be so easily stepped on, they continued in their ignorance.

So he decided to show them the difference between them as he removed his shades and started to release his blood lust, he asked them what they would do if he turned out to be a monster right there and then of course in their brash egos they said that they could take him, once his bloodlust leaked out that fully changed each and everyone one of their bodies had instantly started to shake and shiver as a defense mechanism that told them all they needed to know of how different they were to him on an instinctual level, he released his hold on the seven of them a moment later as he shifted his eyes to the side spotting Aoyama who had not budged from the bloodlust he just exuded being very well accustomed to that level so far and his mind gained an idea as well and he told the director it simply. He would give these posers a few pointers, as he would like it if they could take down his protegee at least once during a spar, given that they were so eager to fight.

The director wanted to object but despite what they had just gone through the group of men still had their pride and believed that they could accomplish that fact, the director did not think that this was a good idea but they were adamant in being able to do it even taking things one step further and making a demand if they were able to do so that he would personally sign off on their debut album which he rolled his eyes at but agreed nonetheless before continuing with his demands his first and foremost thought had been to tell them to just drop the entertainment business entirely but the words never left his lips, it was a strange phenomenon that has been happening with him ever since that day, it was like somethings were too far for him to do and his body just wouldn't do them, this extended even to as far as his hero work as when he asked for the blonde to give him more information about everything that happened that day and even when he had managed to coax out of him the big secrete revolving around him was that all of them all of the mutants had known about him being a monster, the first thing he wanted to do was kill him, it was etched in his very sould that he wanted to do just that right then and their and he would go about systematically killing the others so that he secrete could remain that but he couldn't…his body just never allowed him to do it.

He would hold back too much in sparring and every time he would attempt to poison him he just couldn't go through with it his body would just freeze up on him refusing to go through with the task that in his mind needed to be done but here he was still alive, he didn't expect any of the bubbly boys to be able to take him down let alone kill him, but it was he was confident in his abilities that he trained into him to easily train the man and completely demolished them in his stead it was a weird emotion he felt feeling confident in someone that was so beneath him, but he would let the feeling fade quickly as he told them his demands it was a simple one the two idols that had passed the hero exam would quit immediately while he wouldn't end their career in both careers he would end their foul hardy and disrespectful attempt to take the hero name for something a just furthering their start goals to copy him, especially with how weak they were.

The group all got proper clothes and equipment to minimize the risk to their bodies from too much physical activity. Again, Sweet Mask wanted to say that he wanted Aoyama to break them and threatened him if he lost this for him, but none of that came out. He almost felt too guilty for doing so, so instead all he said was for him to do his best, and the boy nodded his head, and even he seemed surprised that he wasn't more angered by his pep talk. The boy went into the large boxing gym. He was asked to shed his hero costume to make things more even, and the boy did so just in a shirt and shorts while wearing boxing gloves and standard boxing equipment. It was a double handicap due to how he taught the boy how to fight, but it would still be no problem at all, and when the fighting commenced, it wasn't. The boy was simply too fast for either of the bubbly boys to pin down; their numbers only served to hide them during the battle. Some even broke off into arguing, which Aoyama correctly took advantage of by striking each member with a solid blow straight to their exposed chins.

The fighting had only lasted three minutes. He took out each one of them at a decent pace; none of them managed to even land a single blow on him before they were down in a heap on the side of the boxing ring. Sweet Mask took the opportunity to taunt him and tell Cheerion about the massive difference between an A-class and a C-class hero—something he would know if he looked at all of the hero guides. 3 C-classes equal one B-class, 5 B-classes equal one A-class, and 10 A-classes equal one S-class. This is a simple example that would tell him that he was at least 150 times above his level, if not much more than that, as that only equals the weakest of each class, not the class as a whole. Before taking Aoyama and leaving out, the two of them had to talk about this saitama character a bit more, how his temperament was like, and the best way to approach him.

N-city

Girlfriend Troubles: Feather, Tokoyami

Tokoyami traveled along with Feather on his patrol of N-city. This was a normal patrol; however, Feather had retrieved a letter from the Iron Fist gang telling him that they had captured a woman that he was fancying. Of course, this was likely to draw him out, but the hero was confident that this was better than before, as now he could eliminate the leader without any trouble since he was looking for it in the first place. The issue came that he had to come alone as if he was seen with anyone else, they would kill the girl, causing quite the conundrum as the Iron Fist gang was 60 men strong along with their boss, who had an A-class bounty. Tokoyami knew what the man wanted him to do, which he thought was to lend him a shining light. He thought he would have no problem handling such numbers if the strongest of them was just an A-class member, but the man's pride or ego had stalled the idea. Instead, he wanted him to just shadow him with his invisibility. He had been practicing with toru, so shinning light manipulation.

However, the man didn't want to rescue the girl; he simply wanted to do things himself. Of course, this was a highly stupid plan just so he could show off his bravado, but given his mood, he would allow it; he would prevent him from being killed if it called for it, but his getting beat up didn't matter to him.

The man tried to frame it as him being able to see how he used his technique against humans, which was true in most parts, as he dawned his shining light and disappeared a couple of miles before the factory of the Iron Fist clan base came into view just to be thorough on any possible lookouts. Feather went into the factory and was immediately assaulted by several people that go who dropped on him from on top of the roofs of the factory most of them had assault weapons and fired at his position, feather showed impressive speed jumping above before the bullets reached him and using the buildings architecture to reach the 10 shooters on the roof, he slash through their weapons and used their friends to get in the way of fire allowing him to not have to constantly worry about getting fired upon of course these were criminals so some of them straight up didn't care and for that tokoyami who circled above would slash the bullets out of the sky, making it seem like the shooter missed entirely and allowing feather to take them down in the confusion.

He entered into the factory and Tokoyami discreetly followed before taking him to the rafters as he continued to watch the heroes progress he did fairly well, taking out an additional fourteen members before things started to turn bad for him, his deadly display was very draining and wasn't suited for such extended fights and that was likely what the criminals were hoping for as he started to wind and falter in his movements taking a solid blow to the chest t hat sent him flying crashing into the wall and making a crater as more people started to surround him, he too out 24 of the 60 man gang, but the criminals still taunted him of his shortcomings but they were reveling in their victory instead of taking him out, Tokoyami was going to interfere that was until he saw a woman come into the scene this was supposed to be the captive that he was fighting for but it turns out the girl had only been acting scared and was the boss's girl the entire time, Tokoyami felt somewhat bad for the hero that was until the girl turned around and he notice the tears in her eyes, so she defitnyl was still in danger. The large boss, Big Iron, came in as well, backing up the 34 people surrounding him.

Feather seemed to come to that realization as well, as he made a move to stand up and "let loose." Tokoyami at that moment received a message, and at that point, he figured that the hero had had his fun and bestowed shining light upon him, as the hero remarked that this would be his "climax as a hero." His costume had been clad in ornate golden gold, blocking out the dark black of his armor and also turning his claws and feet completely golden as well. The criminals were surprised for a moment by this but quickly gained their nerves by their bosses shouting and charging at him. With shining light in play, they could do nothing to touch him; even blows that landed didn't phase the man as he batted them aside all over the factory, even bashing the boss through one of the few remaining walls of the place. Within no time flat, he had defeated everyone. In the now-destroyed complex, Feather looked up at him and gave him a discrete thumbs up as shining light was returned to him. Tokoyami left, and the last thing he saw was Erica and Feather sharing a kiss as he left, followed by multiple police cars arresting the unconscious gang members.

He wished things could be that easy where he was headed, but sadly, the illegal activity he was stopping was sponsored by the hero association, which could do nothing to stop but interfere with as much as they liked. While invisible, he shot an arrow at a drone, destroying it before firing several more at the monster, assaulting the hero, and killing it instantly. He felt the power coming into him as the monster drew its last breath before consulting with the hero in question. He asked about what had he been blackmailed with and when he told him, he was in luck that he would be able to fix it, so as quickly as he came he scooped the hero up and rushed over to the hospital, he showed him to the room where his little brother was stationed and tokoyami walked towards his bedside touching the boy on his injured spine and letting his newest ability flow through him and the heroes brother sat up for the first time in nearly two years, causing a heartfelt reunion and many thanks to Tokoyami which remarked not to mention it however did ask to give him information on the person that had blacked mailed him which the hero was more than eager to do so, Tokoyami told him to not let the person know that he's been there and soon left after that, he reported to his class about the incident and revealed that it still was the same man responsible as last time McCoy.

End Notes: the differences continue! Saitama is given the credit he deserves but at the cost of others still thinking he's a fake, unlike a certain child hero the mutants won't stand for such blatant illegal activities to be run inside of their midst for their final good act of the people they set out to bring down Mccoy but how will they do it when he is supported by the very Agency that they fall under? Find out next time on the last chapter of the path on the 15th!
