"HOLY CRAP" Metal Bat shouts out along with the cries of many people watching Saitama complete a makeshift course fit for a man of his strength.
"Well that's kinda funny." Zombie Man chuckles while watching Saitama's goofy run.
Saitama was currently undergoing a series of tests, the first of which was running on a treadmill built specifically for him.
The Caped Baldy was currently going at a measly speed of around 122,500,000 miles per hour, his legs were barely visible to the power houses of the room. The regular humans couldn't even see Saitama's legs or arms, just his blank face.
(For reference I am using calcs from a couple of notable Youtubers. I also used reddit so keep in mind I don't know the scaling or feats of the characters fully)
"So uhh. Is this good enough or do you guys want me to go faster?" Saitama questions in an unsure tone.
A bunch of the associates sweat drop at this. They seem to have gotten used to the uncertainty of life when facing superhumans. Unlike said superhumans themselves, who were in disbelief at their fellow superpowered co-worker.
"YOU CAN GO FASTER?" Surprisingly Child Emperor screams out. He was already completely flabbergasted at Saitama's current running speed. So much so that at first he thought the treadmill was lying, but the Screen had rebutted his thoughts. Sure Flashy could run faster, but Flashy couldn't punch a meteor out of the sky.
"I cannot even track Master's speed anymore… Do I require more upgrades?" Genos questioned as he had tried to track his Sensei's speed, but failed when it began to reach relativistic.
Flashy Flash grits his teeth and bites on his thumb while scowling. "It's not that spectacular… But he can go faster? Impossible, can he beat me in speed?"
Sonic was currently on the floor as he was barely able to actually see Saitama before the blast of air had him on his ass and fully unconscious the moment Saitama started running. For he had cockily chosen to stand close to the treadmill saying that he'd be fine.
"Well… that's surprisingly unsurprising." Tatsumaki sighs out while analyzing the bald hero's speed on the treadmill. "I can fly around that speed pretty easily as well, but he's doing it… in such a boring manner. It's like walking for him." Saitama's face was completely unbothered as he continued his run.
Meanwhile, Tatsumaki's sister was currently having a panic attack. "S-Sis. This isn't funny! Am I delusional or is he really running that fast?" Fubuki stutters out while questioning the only other person in the room minus a few who could actually react to Saitama's speed.
Tatsumaki just rolls her eyes. The speed was impressive, but it wasn't that impressive. The outlier in this test was how relaxed Saitama appeared.
"Hoh. Incredible Saitama-kun." Bang, eyes wide, continued to watch the young man break the physics of a human being.
"The guy's a monster at this point." Atomic Samurai wiped his brow and fiddled with his wheat stalk as he continued to watch.
"Sensei. If you can go faster, you should attempt to exceed your limits. This device the Screen has provided seems to be capable of handling it." Genos informs his Master while simultaneously jotting down notes.
"Yeah, try going faster than ever before! Break those records!" Mumen Rider encourages the unsure hero.
"This is insane. I wanna go home." King thinks to himself while keeping up his stern posture.
"Ok." Saitama gives a small nod before his features become sharper and more defined.
Suddenly Saitama's legs and arms began to vibrate and slowly disappear as the treadmill was left running with a blurry torso and head.
Flashy Flash's skin begins to pale, somehow even whiter than before. He could no longer follow Saitama's movements despite him running in place.
"Saitama-kun?" Bang questioned, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him in his old age.
"Did he?" Bomb quested along with his brother in pure confusion.
"Awesome." Metal Bat whispered while smacking the closest person next to him which was Zombie Man much to his annoyance.
"I don't get it? Just how fast is he moving?" Tank Top Master muttered out in sheer confusion.
"He…" Darkshine starts, but can't find any words to describe the thing going on before them.
Tatsumaki's eyes widen, but she stays oddly silent while continuing to watch.
Tareo just gawks at the sight before him. No longer just simply amazed, more so just slightly terrified now.
Garou's face twists into a scowl as he watches the blur of red and yellow. "I don't think anyone in this room can see him right now. Not even that Flashy bastard." Garou thinks to himself angrily.
Suddenly the treadmill beeps loudly before completely stopping as a blur flies off at indescribable speeds and crashes into a wall creating a massive hole.
"Apologies. I accidentally stopped the treadmill."
"Found him." Zombie Man pointed at the now busted wall while grinning at the absurdity of what had happened.
A bunch of people facepalm at this, but nonetheless move forward to see what the last calculated speed was.
"So uh. How fast was he going?" Metal Bat questioned out loud in sheer done with everything energy.
"Uh lemme check." Child Emperor walks up to the treadmill and looks at the speed last calculated before immediately fainting on the spot.
"Ok well that's telling." Atomic Samurai mumbles under his breath.
Metal Knight's robot walks up to the treadmill and takes a moment before speaking. "It reads as massively faster than light." Metal Knight's robotic tone betrayed its creator's current emotional state.
"WHAT!?" The room shook with the voices of many, mostly the associates and the people who weren't used to light speed heroes.
"This shouldn't be possible. Not at all…" Dr. Genus stutters at the implications as Mosquito Girl just appears shell shocked along with Armored Gorilla.
Saitama could be seen climbing out of the deep hole in the wall while dusting off some pieces of rubble on his suit. He began to slowly walk over to the group with his normal expression.
"What happened? Why are they all screaming?" Saitama questioned while facing the unsurprised short esper, slightly concerned over their reactions.
"You ran faster than light. So everyone is a little delusional." Tatsumaki bluntly stated while circling her finger against the side of her head to indicate lunacy. She actually wasn't all that surprised. Though she herself wasn't exactly capable of traveling at the speed of light, she sure as hell comes close to being able to. Plus it's the baldy we're talking about here. Hell Flashy Flash could run and react at lightspeed. At least that's what he claimed.
"Saitama, that was amazing!" Mumen Rider pats Saitama on the back while wearing an expression of shock and praise for the hero.
"Was that the fastest you can go?" Drive Knight cautiously questioned.
"I mean. I can go faster. I think." Saitama answers while scratching the back of his head.
Metal Bat puts his hands up in surrender while wearing a defeated look. "You know what. I'm not even gonna be surprised anymore."
"This level of speed shouldn't even be possible, but I guess we shouldn't dwell on that." Stitch mutters while looking a bit dejected by all the stuff that's happened so far.
"I think he would cause more destruction if he moved at that speed than if a dragon level monster rampaged." The bearded worker wears an expression of disbelief.
"On another note, I'm guessing the next one on the list is jumping right?" Zombie Man questions everyone while trying to wake Child Emperor up.
"Ok so where am I gonna jump?" Saitama questions before, much to everyone's surprise, the ceiling of the room opens up revealing the vast expanse of space. The stars shining in the distance.
"Ah. You guys might wanna step back." Saitama informs them as everyone immediately runs a far distance away, minus Tornado who just floats to the side a bit.
Once again, Saitama's features sharpen as he crouches down into a jumping position.
The ground beneath shatters as Saitama disappears, the sound of the blast hitting the people watching not a second later. No one could see the bald hero anymore.
Suddenly a screen pops up from the ground revealing how far Saitama had jumped.
Que everyone going slack jawed minus a couple.
"420,000 MILES?!" The crowd shouts in shock and awe.
Blast from his room lowers his shades as he watches Saitama rocket through space. "From a jump? I don't know what I was expecting to be honest." Blast chuckles while shaking his head.
"He's still going." Tatsumaki realizes as she had been tracking his signature, but lost it a while ago. The screen continued to climb though it began slowing down.
"THAT'S ALMOST TWICE THE DISTANCE OF THE EARTH TO THE MOON!" Child Emperor exclaims while looking both simultaneously excited and terrified.
"It has been approximately 2 seconds since he jumped and he traveled around 450,000 miles." Metal Knight notes.
"I can't even put that into perspective." Zombie Man watches the counter continue to go up, extremely impressed.
"Mr. Saitama is amazing." Tareo mumbles with star stricken eyes.
Up in space where Saitama had started to slow. Somehow, it seemed that gravity was still affecting him despite being in space.
"Wow. The universe is pretty cool huh?" Saitama muttered to himself as he watched the stars shine in the darkness of his galaxy.
A few seconds pass before he starts to fall.
He then realized something while trying to find the white room. "Ope. How do I land?"
Back down in the impromptu testing room.
Genos gazes up at the stars, unable to even catch a glimpse of his teacher. "Master? Just where does your strength end? And… was it worth losing what you did?" Genos asked himself, having long forgotten his notebook as he watched a speck of yellow and red finally reappear.
Tornado's eyes suddenly go wide for a second before she blasts off towards the red and yellow speck much to the confusion of others.
"What's the temperamental brat doing?" Atomic Samurai questioned out loud with a raised eyebrow.
"What is Sis doing?" Fubuki questions, not really sure why her older sister had gone up toward Saitama.
"I do not know…" Bang replied while watching the green glow become smaller but still visible.
"Oh wait. Saitama's falling despite there being no gravity in space… Wait, he's actually falling really fast." Child Emperor mutters. As soon as the words leave the prodigy's mouth the room goes silent.
King begins walking toward the door while trying desperately not to panic.
"Look! King already knew! That cheeky bastard! Alright we gotta get out of here then unless the Screen stops him or something." Metal Bat exclaims while following King's lead.
"I highly doubt the Screen guy would let Saitama fall on top of us." Zombie Man smirks, but follows anyway, not really wanting to test if he could regenerate from such an impact.
The rest of the audience members stand much farther back, close to the door, but not leaving yet. They still wanted to see if Saitama could stick the landing after all.
Tatsumaki meets up with the bald hero and begins slowing his fall slightly when she suddenly realizes she wasn't helping all that much. Saitama finally takes notice of the green haired esper and waves goofily.
"OI! BALDY, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP DO YOU?" Tatsumaki yells at him while concentrating on keeping up with his rapid descent.
"YEAH I DUNNO HOW." Saitama yells back while shrugging. Somehow wind was passing by them making it hard to hear each other.
"I CAN'T STOP YOU YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST!" Tatsumaki shrills in irritation, whether it be her own lack of capability or due to the idiot before her.
"I'M SURE IT'S FINE." Saitama gives a dopey thumbs up causing Tatsumaki to groan while continuously trying to lift him, silently hoping that the Screen would intervene. If it actually ended up not doing anything then she would just have to build a barrier around the idiots below who probably hadn't evacuated the white room out of curiosity.
The duo suddenly freeze around a few hundred miles above the white room, inertia somehow not affecting either of them.
"I was going to stop him, you know."
Tornado's eyes narrow as she raises an eyebrow. "Hah? Well you should've said something then!" Tatsumaki hmphs while noting the odd feeling of floating while not using her powers actively.
"I did not factor your care into the equation, Terrible Tornado."
Tatsumaki's eyes widen at this but she just scoffs. "I didn't… I just… AGH WHATEVER! JUST LET ME GO SO I CAN GET BACK DOWN!" Tatsumaki flails around like a child at not having control over her own mobility.
The two slowly begin to float down back towards the white room, calming the esper and allowing the bald hero to unplug his fingers from his ears, sighing in relief.
"Thanks Screen. You too Tats. I had no idea how I was gonna land." Saitama informs the short esper and host while scratching the back of his head.
"Hmph. Don't count on me, there won't be a next time." Tatsumaki retorts while scoffing.
"Aw come on Tats. I thought you were reliable." Saitama questions in a sort of joking way.
Tatsumaki briefly glares at him before grinning. "Of course I am! I'm-"
"The Terrible Tornado. The Tornado of Terror. Yes. You've said it many times." Saitama finishes with a small smile, much to the frustration of the esper.
After a few moments the esper turns to look at the hero with a studied look. "So. I'm guessing that wasn't your best again?" Tatsumaki questions in an accusatory tone, though it doesn't phase Saitama..
"I mean yeah. I didn't wanna go too hard." Saitama chuckles, though emptily. For a moment the void of space is filled with silence.
"Bullshit." Tatsumaki mutters while wearing a particularly annoyed expression..
"Huh?" Saitama looks over to the angry looking esper as she gives him an irritated glare.
"You're lying. You barely tried. I could feel it when you jumped. It's just like when you were running on the treadmill." Tatsumaki explains, still annoyed, over which part? Who knows.
Saitama's eyes widen slightly before his face takes on his natural neutral appearance.
"You don't know how strong you are, do you? You never knew. You stopped thinking about it after you lost your hair." Tatsumaki presses on, though less angrily, yet still sounding a fair bit irritated.
"Yeah." Saitama mumbles as they continue to float downward, the white room slowly coming closer.
"You don't like it here do you? Watching these episodes… It's a reminder that you can't have your fair fight. The song too." Tatsumaki was now facing the apathetic Saitama again.
Saitama's eyes widened slightly once again. "I… Yeah…" Saitama mutters while gazing into the void of space. And also to avoid the esper's analytical stare.
Tatsumaki sighs out, feeling a migraine coming for what she was about to do. Tatsumaki points an accusing finger at the confused hero. "Don't worry so damn much about things you can't control. You might not find the person you're looking for in a fight, you might never find them, but you shouldn't let that frickin bother you. You've got that tin-can and that biker wannabe hero. And now everyone knows about your strength. I might not be the only one who noticed your moping, but I'm sure as hell the only one annoyed enough to confront you about it. And it pisses me off. So chin up you stupid baldy." Tatsumaki ends off with a scowl as Saitama's gains a surprised look.
The silence grows as neither continues the conversation.
"Thanks." Saitama suddenly mumbles.
"Huh? What for? You a masochist?" Tatsumaki questions in confusion while wearing a slightly disgusted look.
"For trying to cheer me up heh." Saitama points at her and smiles softly yet also slightly teasingly.
Tatsumaki appears caught off guard, wearing a very befuddled expression, before rapidly becoming half furious and half embarrassed. Tatsumaki gets up in Saitama's face with an angry look. "HAH!? YOU WANNA DIE? ME CHEER YOU UP? DUMBASS! EGGHEAD! BALDY! CHROMEDOME!"
Saitama just continues to smile. "You wouldn't have said anything if you didn't care. You're pretty nice when you want to be huh?" Saitama says, much to Tatsumaki's growing irritation and embarrassment.
Tatsumaki relents and backs up. "Shut up! It was just annoying seeing your dumb expression everytime we watched your stupid episodes! And your tin-can is too much of a suck up to ask you about it!" Tatsumaki yells back, but with less vigor.
"Genos? He noticed too?" Saitama appears to space out for a second before responding absentmindedly. "Uh-huh. Got it." Saitama nods while holding an ok sign with a neutral look.
"Wha- You don't believe me do you!?" Tatsumaki questions indignantly yet also slightly confused. She wasn't really sure what had caught the bald hero's attention, though, they were in space after all. Plenty of pretty stars to look at.
"Nope. I believe you don't worry." Saitama responds in his usual tone with a small smile.
"Ugh. You're infuriating." Tatsumaki scowls before suddenly, the duo land in the white room as everyone from far away notices Tornado's foul mood and Saitama's normal expression.
"What did we miss?" Metal Bat was the first to ask, until a green glow envelopes him and he gets blasted into a wall.
King tensed slightly, though luckily nobody noticed. "Thank the lord I didn't say anything."
"Shut up." Tatsumaki proceeded to fly back to the main theater room as mutters about never helping a stupid baldy could be heard. Everyone just gives Saitama a questioning look as Fubuki proceeds to follow her sister in an attempt to stop her from murdering anyone else.
"I smacked into her when she flew up by accident so she's a little mad. She was trying to stop my fall." Saitama quickly makes up an excuse so as to not further irritate the esper.
"Sensei, you jumped approximately 500,000 miles before beginning your descent." Genos exclaims in a jovial tone, well… as jovial as Genos could get, informing his Master while also spewing out a bunch of extra praises.
Saitama just smiles as he walks over to his 2 buddies. "That's cool."
"Just cool? Come on Saitama you're awesome!" Mumen Rider smiles while patting the modest hero on the shoulder.
"Pretty sure he's been awesome since he started one punching monsters." Child Emperor mutters while typing in calculations into his computer.
The duo of Mosquito Girl and Armored Gorilla involuntarily shudder at that. The man, while bland, was utterly terrifying.
"Most impressive is it not Atomic?" Bang questions his long time friend.
Atomic Samurai raises a brow as if to say, are you serious? "He's incredible, I'll give him that. But it's all raw power. Imagine what he could do with a blade?" Atomic Samurai grins as Bang and Bomb sigh, slightly exasperated.
"He is exactly like how they described him. A god trapped in a man's body." Bomb says while stroking his beard.
"If he let us study his body I'm sure we could evol- No! I gave up that life! But… the possibilities…" Dr. Genus was currently undergoing a mental battle over the feats Saitama had presented before him.
"Should we…? Stop him?" Mosquito Girl questions while watching their creator with increasing concern.
"I'm sure it will be fine. Just leave him be." Armored Gorilla mutters back. He too was still shocked that he survived an encounter with such a man. The punches were already insane enough as it is.
The large group of heroes, villains, and associates proceed to finish watching Saitama conduct a few more tests with various outcomes before they all come back to the theater, ready to watch the next episode.
"MAN! That was awesome. Did you see how far he hit that baseball?" Metal Bat grinned at Zombie Man and Child Emperor.
"Yes we did." Zombie Man wore a tired expression. He didn't think he could be this surprised this many times.
"If only he was as smart as he was strong… I bet he'd create things I couldn't even begin to comprehend." Child Emperor mutters while reviewing the notes he took on Saitama's inhuman feats.
Meanwhile, the muscle heads all looked distraught at how much Saitama had lifted. Let's just say, it wasn't a close competition.
"Uncle, wasn't Mr. Saitama amazing? How was he not S Class before!" Tareo excitedly shouts as he recalls all the amazing things the bald hero had accomplished.
"Huh? Yeah yeah. The guy is a beast." Garou responds, though with a rougher tone. He didn't expect that such a person could even exist. It was unfair.
"Oi. Wake up." Flashy Flash was currently smacking Sonic back and forth, waiting for his friend? For his fellow ninja to wake up.
"派手なフラッシュは私より速いわけではありません!" Sonic awoke with a panicked shout of random word vomit.
Flashy Flash just smirked, allowing Sonic to recollect his memories and scowl at his own downfall.
As the audience gets seated the screen immediately begins to turn on, signaling the start of the next episode. Excitement for the foe Saitama had faced grows, even in the more colder members of the cast.
A screen opens to reveal a massive amount of destruction inside the alien ship. Countless alien bodies lie dead in the wake of Saitama's little run.
In a throne room with a large glowing crystal a humanoid alien with one singular eye wearing odd armor begins walking toward a large door.
In another room with many screens the aliens could be seen panicking at watching their comrades fall to the bald intruder.
"Th-This can't be happening! Even Groribas, our best warrior, defeated?!"
"Their best warrior was that plant guy? Really?" Metal Bat questions in slight disbelief. Sure it was Saitama who killed it, but it got defeated so damn easily. Though he still remembered his battle with that tanky ass alien on the ground.
"Well. Saitama did kill it before we could see any of its attacks. Who knows how strong it could've been." Child Emperor shrugs while thinking about the possible attacks the alien Groribas could have had.
"Can't have been that bad." Zombie Man mutters.
"Mmm. Salad." Pig god mumbles, causing a few to give him a surprised look.
"Pig god eats salad?" A few think to themselves.
The tentacle void like creature watches as Saitama continues kicking and punching at the interior with an emotionless expression. "What manner of creature is he? And how'd he get aboard?"
"Damn it! Melzargard was supposed to be guarding the ship! Now he and I are the only elite fighters left!"
Tornado would have scoffed at that if she hadn't already been too annoyed to comment. "Only 3 elite fighters?"
"Sis looks really mad still. What the hell did you do Saitama?" Fubuki questioned in her mind as her eyes gazed toward the oddball hero.
The door behind the alien opens to reveal the humanoid alien from before. "I bet he's just mucking about… I need him now! Curse the bastard!"
"Geryuganshoop, what is the problem?" The blue one eyed alien questions with a tone of authority.
"Lord Boros! I-I'm terribly sorry. I've allowed one of the natives to infiltrate the ship. In the mere four minutes since coming aboard, he has damaged 23% of the ship. It seems he is alone, but he has managed to instantly kill every warrior sent to intercept him." The now named Geryuganshoop explained in a worried tone.
"Well that's gotta be depressing haha!" Metal Bat laughs out as Zombie Man just chuckles.
"Imagine we sent all the S-Class and they all got defeated. That would be the equivalent for their situation." Drive Knight states while not turning to look at the two.
"You make a good point I guess…" Metal Bat mutters, his earlier enthusiasm now dissipated.
"Do not panic. As long as the power sphere is safe, the ship will not go down. The damage so far is limited to the crew's living quarters. But minnows won't be enough." Geryuganshoop looks at Boros nervously.
"So the power core was its main source of energy for flight… Perhaps I could make use of it?" Metal Knight wonders while noting down as much information he can.
"The core above this Boros' throne was the energy source? Impressive…" Dr Genus mumbled to himself while going over the new information. Mosquito Girl and Armored Gorilla just looked at each other while sighing.
"Geryuganshoop… you, Groribas and Melzargard, my top lieutenants, will go eliminate this intruder." Boros turns to leave before the panicked Geryuganshoop speaks.
"Groribas has fallen, sir…"
"What?" Boros questions.
"Let me get Melzargard back here! He and I together will wipe out the intruder without fail!"
"If this space octopus is that worried about his boss he must be strong." Atomic Samurai mutters while fiddling with his wheat stalk. He hadn't fought anyone besides the regenerating nuisance, but that wasn't that difficult once they learned its secret.
"If Saitama-kun needed multiple attacks to subdue the enemy I'm sure this Boros was incredibly powerful." Bang comments while also remembering the odd alien they had battled. It had not been that strong, but it was resilient for sure.
"I wonder if I could've fought Boros on my own? Would I have been strong enough? Would I have been able to protect Fubuki? Would Blast have come?" Tatsumaki glances up at the screen with a look of deep thought, her mood having improved from before, though now… she could only feel her thoughts drift to the words of a certain Class S rank 1 hero. "When the time comes, don't expect anyone to save you." The now somber Tornado looked over to Saitama who was just gazing at the screen emptily.
The camera pans to show Saitama's oddly placed face on 4 screens as Boros' gaze falls upon the image.
"They really did you dirty man!" Metal Bat laughs out loud, having failed to hold it in while smacking Zombie Man in the shoulder. The undead hero simply had gotten used to it and exhaled heavily. He needed another smoke badly.
"It is odd how most of Saitama's appearances result in a goofy look. Ms. Tornado as well." Child Emperor whispers the last part in fear of inciting the wrath of the short esper.
Saitama just smiles as Mumen Rider snickers and Genos wears a stern expression. Internally he was barely keeping himself together.
THE DOMINATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
MYSTERY CRAFT IN SKIES ABOVE CITY A
The scene changes to the reformed criminal Hammerhead watching the news with his mother. "We have more information on the enormous flying object that suddenly appeared in the skies over City A."
"Glad to see he's doing well now." Mumen Rider says with a content smile.
"Yeah." Saitama agrees, glad that he let the guy go and it didn't turn out badly.
"Master's wisdom even guides criminals to betterment? Perhaps Sensei can sway evil doers into rehabilitation through his feats?" Genos ponders while glancing over to the scientist and his two remaining creations, though they seemed harmless at this point, who knows what they could be planning.
"I'm here at the scene. As you can see, all the main roads leading to City A have been closed, and officials are on high alert. According to survivors, City A has been almost entirely demolished. This image of the giant flying object was captured with a telephoto lens. What are your thoughts?"
The camera swaps to show a concerned Genus and Armored Gorilla watching the news while making takoyaki. "Most likely, this is the act of an alien or extraterrestrial being. Or perhaps it's an unidentified life-form that has a highly advanced civilization unbeknownst to us. Of course, other possibilities exist as well."
"N-nevermind." Genos almost dejectedly scraps the idea they could be harmful at this point.
Everyone glances over to the scientist in questioning.
"What? We run a takoyaki stand! We needed the money!" Mosquito Girl yells out in annoyance while pouting and crossing her arms.
"We no longer intend to do anything I promise." Dr. Genus responds to their cautious gazes with a truthful yet calm tone. Armored Gorilla nods along with the doctor.
Little did Dr. Genus know that everyone had different thoughts compared to what he was assuming. A shared consensus was reached between all the viewers. Dr. Genus and his creations were hilarious.
"Hey. I'll stop by some time, let me know when you guys are open." Saitama waves over much to the surprise of the small group.
Dr. Genus looks surprised before shaking his head and smiling slightly. "It would be my honor Saitama."
"Our first customer!" Mosquito Girl wears a happy expression, much to the confusion of the others in the room.
"I'll be visiting sometime so be aware, Genus." Zombie Man coldly mutters, much to the confusion of his two seat mates.
Genus simply nods in understanding. "I will be there."
"I see."
The scene switches once more, this time to Sonic listening on a radio while tending to his blade. "Also, there have been eyewitness accounts of very powerful life-forms descending to the ground from the spacecraft. Several Class S heroes are presently at the location tackling the issue." Sonic smiles creepily.
"You really need to rid yourself of that habit. It's uncanny." Flashy Flash mutters much to the embarrassment of Sonic.
"Shut up!" Sonic blushes slightly while attempting to punch Flashy in the shoulder and missing.
Back to the heroes fighting Melzargard, Puri Puri had just finished his Dark Angel Rush combo. The alien now had many holes implanted into its body.
Iaian watches in awe at the damage done by Puri. "He pummeled that thing with nothing but his bare fists. That's a Class S for you. But even so…" Melzargard begins to heal at a rapid pace.
"It's no good! It possesses incredible regenerative powers. And don't let it hit any part of you. A single blow instantly tore my arm off. Dodge its attacks at all costs!
Melzargard begins to throw an attack as Silver Fang interrupts. "If I may cut in…" With a single block, Silver Fang sends the fist into the ground and unleashes a barrage of attacks as the alien attacker gets thrown backwards.
"Wow Bang, you're pretty cool." Saitama comments while looking over to the old martial artist.
Bang smiles with pride as Bomb and Atomic just roll their eyes.
"He's not that cool." Atomic Samurai huffs.
"Shall we use a bombardment to finish them off?"
A head detaches from the main body of Melzargard. "That is good."
"Contact the ship."
"I will go." The head grows a pair of wings as it begins flying upwards.
"Oh so that's what that ugly thing was doing. I thought it was running away." Metal Bat mutters while watching. His memories of the event were quite odd as things appeared differently on the screen.
"Wow you can think? Who knew." Tatsumaki snickers in a genuine joking manner, but the others take it as her usual self.
Metal Bat gets up from his seat, about to retort, before remembering getting planted into the wall horizontally, prompting him to sit back down in his seat with a pissed off expression.
"You did well Bad-kun. I am sure it would have taken us much longer to figure out our foe's weakness." Bang praises the young hero, causing him to fidget at the kind words.
The caught off guard Metal Bat just looks over to the old hero with surprise. "T-thank you Silver Fang-sama." Metal bat nods in appreciation to which Bang simply smiles back.
"Get back here!" Metal Bat swings at the flying pest, sending it into the ground.
"You scum!" The head reforms and yells back in irritation.
Bad prepares a swing while charging at the head. "Best mind your manners!"
Metal Bat lands a hit, obliterating the small head. "I hope ya like mincemeat, freak!"
"Melzargard! What are you doing?!" The telepathic alien cries out at the elite ground unit.
"I'm in battle."
"We have an intruder!"
"Ridiculous."
"It's true. Finish them off and get up here!"
Up in the ship Saitama finds another door and tries to pull on it. "This one's locked too… Hey, open up! You've got a visitor!" Saitama proceeds to nonchalantly rip the door out of the wall.
"Oops… I broke it." Geryuganshoop watches the bald hero in shock and fear.
"Pfh." Tatsumaki covers her mouth from laughing at the stupidity of the situation, much to Fubuki's confusion.
"Man Saitama, your strength is really no joke. How do you control it so well?" Mumen Rider ponders out loud while looking over to the bald hero.
"Uhhh. I dunno I just do I guess? I just do stuff normally." Saitama answers with a shrug. He could control his strength, he just didn't know how to explain it.
"Master has incredible control over his strength, but does not understand how." Genos writes down while simultaneously reading his previous notes.
Back on the ground.
Metal Bat watches as the head reforms around a strange round object. "Hah?"
The head fully reforms and smiles maliciously. "I've decided. I'm going to rip your limbs off, then keep you as the ship mascot. That is good."
"Put yourself together again, eh?" Bad spits into his hands and grips his bat tightly.
"Ugh. Remind me not to shake your hand." Child Emperor mutters while shaking his head.
"What? You scared of a little spit kid?" Metal Bat chuckles while leaning back in his chair.
"Hygiene is important, you know. I hate sweat." Zombie Man points at Metal Bat while responding in defense of the young genius who just nods in appreciation.
"Pfh whatever. Not like I don't wash my hands ya bozos." Metal Bat relents while waving his hand in dismissal.
Metal Bat begins relentlessly beating at the flying ball of alien. "I'm gonna keep you for batting practice!"
The group of Atomic Samurai, Silver Fang, and Puri stand against the imposing Melzargard before rushing at him as he delivers a punch at them.
"Comrades! It may be that direct physical attacks have no effect on it! Let's withdraw for now… and think of a way to destroy it, like heat or something!"
Tatsumaki raises an eyebrow. "That's really all you guys were doing? Class S my ass." Tatsumaki questioned while wondering how her co-workers even gained similar status as herself.
"Sis does have a point." Fubuki sweat dropped while watching as the brute force fighters continued their repeated attack patterns.
"Now now Tatsumaki-chan. We were simply doing what we could at the moment. I'm sure there is no need for sour words." Bang chuckles as Atomic just grits his teeth while muttering unsavory words under his breath.
"Smashing is all I can do! Forget it!" Metal Bat calls out while angrily beating at the flying annoyance.
"This is all I know, too. Can't teach an old dog new tricks." Bang informs him while continuously beating at the massive alien.
"Me, too. Sorry, sweet Iairon!" Puri answers back while punching wildly.
"Iai, don't you have faith in me? There's nothing I can't cut down." Atomic Samurai questions his disciple.
"It's pointless… These guys aren't the type to listen." Iaian dejectedly thinks to himself.
Bang chuckles as Atomic Samurai grips his fist tightly in irritation. "Well, young Iaian does indeed have a point."
"I guess." Atomic Samurai relents his teaching anger. Bomb just chuckles, it seems his brother still had a knack for not listening occasionally. Though he was sure Bang would not have continued if he didn't feel that the odds weren't favorable.
Melzargard heals from the latest onslaught of attacks as his eyes reform. "Melzargard! Look, I really need you on the ship. Getting rid of the intruder takes priority."
Tatsumaki raised an eyebrow. "You really caused a lot of trouble huh."
"I guess. I destroyed a lot of stuff on that ship after I got out." Saitama shrugs.
"When you say a lot, just how much exactly are you talking about?" Fubuki questions in curiosity.
"Uh. I think I destroyed like half of the ship. Probably more." Saitama answers back, though unsure of his own estimates.
"Amazing." Mumen Rider mutters while watching the on screen Saitama smash away at the ship.
Genos could only wish he was there to witness his Sensei at work.
"I'd love to, but I'm busy." Atomic Samurai launches an overhead slash which gets dodged. "These creatures are persistent." Bang delivers his flurry of technique.
"What the hell? The life forms down there are proving tough to handle too?" Geryuganshoop calls out in surprise.
"Nothing tough about them. What's with the ship? Is it going down?" Melzargard responds in annoyance.
"It's not going down, but more than half the crew have been killed." Geryuganshoop nervously informs.
"What?!" Melzagard gets pinned down as the 3 S Class heroes attack at once. "Listen. Begin cleansing my location with a bombardment from the ship!"
"I've got my hands full right now. Besides, artillery bombardment is the job of the lower ranks." Geryuganshoop retorts while watching Saitama decimate the ship.
"Well, I'm in a situation where I can't return to the ship."
"All right. I'll notify the artillery crews. Don't get caught up in the barrage and die.
"Hey, wait!" Melzagard's head gets sliced in half horizontally as it floats up a little higher. "You should come down here and help me. That'd be much faster. Oi! Geryuganshoop! Damn him. How tough is this intruder?"
"Very! He's gonna one punch you all!" Tareo excitingly shouts, much to the laughter of a few. Garou simply rolls his eyes at the child's admiration.
Saitama smiles softly while remembering his fights. The kid wasn't exactly wrong. Boros was the only one on the ship to survive more than one hit. It had admittedly gotten his hopes up briefly, but he realized quickly that Boros couldn't fight him on even ground. But who was he to deny Boros' wish? The guy, alien or not, was just like him in a sense. What if he had gone down the same path as Boros? What made him turn out differently compared to the Dominator of the Universe? So… he had decided to let him live out his dream.
"How about another one?!" Metal Bat lands another devastating hit only for the head to regenerate again.
"More futile attacks. Although you are exhausting yourself. That is good."
"Tch. Like that would tire me out." Metal Bat scoffs at the implication that he could tire out from such little activity.
Zombie Man pats his back patronizingly as Child Emperor chuckles.
Suddenly, Metal Bat runs forward and grabs onto something. "The hell is this?"
The flying head suddenly gains a look of panic and shock.
Metal Bat opens his hand to reveal a blue sphere. "A marble? Why've you got this?"
"Give it back!" The head yells out in anger.
"Sure thing." Bad swiftly breaks the marble with a swing of his bat, instantly causing the head to decay and melt into a puddle.
"Damn! That's nasty, ya nasty bastard! You dead?"
Metal Bat quickly turns to the other heroes announcing the information he had gathered. "Hey, this guy's got marble-looking things inside him! That's where ya hurt him!"
The main body Melzargard looks over in pure surprise.
"Ha, he looks worried." Tank Top Master chuckles at finally seeing the alien panic.
"It took us a while, but we finally figured it out thanks to Bad-kun!" Puri Puri smiles while throwing a thumbs up.
"Perhaps I should've came down with you all." Darkshine says to himself out loud in a slightly guilty tone.
Puri Puri shakes his head. "Don't worry Darkshine. You coming down with us would have been overkill. We handled it fine. Plus Tatsumaki-chan helped us in the end!" Puri Puri tries to ease Darkshines worries.
"Besides. You were playing mediator so Tornado didn't kill anyone." Tank Top Master adds on. Darkshine smiles and nods.
"Oh! Nice work. So I just have to keep slicing until I hit a vital marble!" Atomic Samurai smiles smugly before rushing forward and delivering another array of slashes.
Melzargard stands stunned from the revelation. "Impossible! I've been growing that head for a hundred years! It died in a dump like this? But you scum are all dead when the shells hit. They're on their way!"
"Wait a hundred years? How old are these guys?" Metal Bat questions in bewilderment.
"Hard to estimate. They're all from different planets so trying to figure that out would be impossible without knowing more." Child Emperor explains while holding a thinking pose.
"Not that surprising. That giant lizard said it was millions of years old." Zombie Man muttered in response to the two.
"Kinda reminds me of that giant cicada thing or whatever." Saitama wonders to himself while remembering the one time he was stuck in an Association shelter
Back on the ship.
"Attention, intruder! Stop your destructive acts and leave this instant. Attention, intruder! Leave immediately. Otherwise, we will unleash all our forces against you!" Geryuganshoop's voice can be heard by Saitama.
"That's weird. I hear a voice right inside my head."
"Take one more step… …and you're dead!"
"Even if I wanted to get out, I can't. I've lost my way!" Saitama yells out to the voice in his head.
"Really? You'll leave? All right, I will guide you. Take a right, then go up the stairs there." Geryuganshoop exclaims in relief and joy.
"A right?"
"Exactly, a right."
Saitama smiles mischievously before turning the opposite way.. "I guess I'll go left!"
Tatsumaki grins at this. "So octopus leads to octopus."
"Oi. Stop with the octopus jokes. I don't look like one." Saitama turned around to respond to the short espers' jests.
"Don't blame me for telling the truth baldy." Tatsumaki chuckles while shrugging with her hands, much to Saitama's chagrin.
"No, wait! Not that way! W-W-Wait… Hang on! You can't…! All right, that was my fault!" Saitama continues to jog goofily, ignoring Geryuganshoop's cries of regret. "I'll come to you. Please stay right there. Ahhh! Noooo!"
Saitama runs right through the door in front of him, finding himself in the middle of the control room.
"Now this place looks like a control room or something."
"You…" Void-like tentacles begin to climb up onto the platform Saitama was standing on.
"An octopus?" Saitama questions with mild interest.
"You dare go around busting up our ship?" Geryuganshoop stands high above Saitama menacingly.
"Why do monsters always do that?" Metal Bat questions more so to himself than to his two seat partners.
"I dunno. They seem to want to intimidate every single time." Child Emperor shrugs.
"Probably because they want to instill fear or whatever." Zombie Man responds.
"If you want our opinion it's because it's fun!" Mosquito Girl answers, surprising the trio with a grin.
"Ignore her please." Armored Gorilla mutters while holding his face in embarrassment.
The trio look at each other before grinning at the two monsters, though Zombie Man still felt contempt for the doctor it seems they could chill with them.
Geryuganshoop sends forth a few pebbles at Saitama though no damage is done. "Hey! The debris is all flying at me!"
"Now Geryuganshoop, the supreme telekinetic power in the universe, will grind you into blood sausage."
"Pfh. That's laughable. That? The supreme telekinetic power in the universe? Funny." Tatsumaki sneers at the void like octopus, wishing to have been there to kill the alien herself.
"Believe it or not, Geryuganshoop is many times more skilled with his abilities than you are Tornado. While you may be the stronger psychokinetic being, he was by far more skilled. You will see in a moment."
"HAH!? THAT'S STUPID! HOW THE HELL IS THAT OCTOPUS MORE SKILLED THAN ME!" Tatsumaki screams in anger and frustration at the mere thought that she could be weaker than the alien.
"Yeah he was pretty disappointing. All he had was that weight thing and throwing some rocks. Pretty sure Tats would crush him to be honest."Saitama responds in a bored manner while picking at his ear.
"Huh? Weight thing?" Tatsumaki questioned in surprise and slight curiosity, her anger completely disappearing.
"Yeah he made me heavier or something, but it was pretty weak." Saitama responds with a shrug much to Tatsumaki's annoyance.
"I wonder how I could have fared against such an opponent?" Fubuki wonders to herself as she watches the alien prep his attack.
Inside another part of the ship an odd looking alien can be seen watching a loading bar. "Just about there. Lord Geryuganshoop, preparations for the bombardment are nearly complete. Shall I proceed?" After a moment of waiting with no response the alien sighs. "Maybe he went to the bathroom…
In the control room, Geryuganshoop can only stay stunned in shock as Saitama stands unfazed by his attack. "Hey, Lord Geryuganshoop!" The alien calls out to the general but receives no response.
"Telekinetic power…like a psychic?" Saitama questions, unbothered by the attack he had just tanked.
"You leave me no choice. Super Telekinetic Gravitational Wave!" The aliens in the control room begin running away in fear at Geryuganshoop's declaration.
"Oh. You meant gravity? Huh… that's actually not a bad idea." Tatsumaki gained a look of mischief at the thought of being able to increase gravity. Perhaps the joke of an alien esper could prove to be useful. Her face once again twisted into annoyance. "But that wasn't the impressive part was it? The Screen doesn't joke around. This would be a really stupid joke if gravity was the skill above me. Hmph."
"Sis, how are you going to…? Nevermind I'm sure she'll figure it out." Fubuki questions before stopping midway when realizing who exactly she was talking to.
"Ah yeah sorry. He named a few moves, I forgot all of them." Saitama responds. He remembered the fight, but only because he was slightly disappointed that the alien esper couldn't do much. At least Tats seemed to have some interesting moves up her sleeve.
"Die, Earthling!" The floor caves in as Saitama just stands unaffected by the attack.
"My unparalleled telekinetic powers allow me to manipulate even the forces of gravity! Have you any idea what a black hole is, you ape? Inside one, the gravitational effects are so strong even light itself cannot escape!
"Wow you didn't even feel any of that?" Metal Bat questioned in surprise. He didn't think he could be more surprised, but here he was.
"Yeah, I didn't notice it until the floor caved in a little." Saitama explains while sighing.
"I wonder how much gravitational force it used." Child Emperor pondered out loud.
"I believe it was around 200 times the gravity of Earth's." Metal Knight states as Child Emperor appears surprised.
"How'd you calculate that?" Child Emperor questions in a mix of curiosity and jealousy.
"I have been examining Saitama's abilities and determined from the way the material of the alien ship sank that it was around the calculations I made. Though it is simply an estimate." Metal Knight explains to the young genius.
"I believe it would be closer to 250 or even 300 times the gravity of Earth." Dr. Genus speaks up, completely interrupting the thought of the other two.
"Oh? Explain." Metal Knight questions.
Queue science talk from the 3 that bores the ones around them.
"Wait…?" Geryuganshoop watches in surprise at how unbothered Saitama looked and immediately changed to a different attack, gathering rubble all around him and began spinning it rapidly.
"Now what?" Saitama questions, slightly interested, slightly bored.
"Take this! Telekinetic Shower of Rubble!" Geryuganshoop sends forth an array of rocks that seems to travel incredibly fast, going straight through the floor like butter.
Tatsumaki's eyes go wide in realization.
"Do you see it now, Tornado?"
The called out esper's face grimaces before growing irritated. "The dumb alien eliminated the friction between the rocks and made them travel at sub-light speed right?" Tatsumaki questions begrudgingly.
"Correct."
"Tch. I can totally do that if I tried." Tatsumaki scoffs while staring at the screen as if to try and break it.
(She can't, this is confirmed btw on Geryuganshoop's wiki page at the bottom)
Fubuki just listened earnestly, slightly elated at the idea that Tatsumaki could be incapable of something.
"Pfh. Looks like you got out skilled Tats." Saitama grins at the currently irritated esper.
"Oh shut up Baldy! I don't need that, I can just crush my enemies. Or toss them into the sun!" Tatsumaki retorted quickly, though she appeared more frustrated than upset.
Saitama sweat drops at this though going to the sun doesn't seem so bad.
"I got him!" Geryuganshoop smiles before losing the look of happiness immediately after noticing Saitama still standing.
"What a waste of psychic powers. I mean, all you're doing is tossing pebbles around. Anyone can do that." Saitama holds a pebble in his hand, inspecting it, before instantly tossing it lightly at Geryuganshoop's head and blasts a hole through it.
"Good lord you didn't have to double whammy him." Metal Bat mutters at seeing the poor alien be insulted then one shotted.
"Huh?" Saitama questioned in confusion.
"You're not entirely wrong about the throwing rocks thing." Fubuki mutters quietly while looking at her hands. At her level that's basically what it was, but her sister could do so much more.
"Ms. Fubuki, if you do not mind me asking, what is bothering you?" Genos questions suddenly, shocking the esper for a second before composing herself.
"It's nothing Genos. I was… simply thinking." Fubuki answers back quickly, slightly flustered. Genos simply stares for a second before nodding and turning back around.
"How...could… I…Geryuganshoop… be…" The now dead Geryuganshoop falls as Saitama notices a few cowering aliens.
"Excuse me—" Saitama jumps down to peer at the two.
"Creepy Saitama detected." Metal Bat laughs as Child Emperor snickers along with him.
"Man you can be really creepy when you want to be. Wanna join me on a mission sometime?" Zombie Man jokingly offers, though much to his surprise Saitama just nods.
"I will never forget what happened to Ground Dragon." Mosquito Girl shivers while remembering the terrifying face that appeared underground and ended her former comrade. Armored Gorilla just gives her a confused look.
"Can I ask… where your boss is?" The aliens cower at the sight of the man who killed one of their strongest.
Back on the City A's Hq Child Emperor and Genos can be seen watching from above. "This looks bad." Isamu reads his device attached to his backpack.
"Is that confirmed?" The bearded worker questions while overseeing the evacuation of the people into the Hq.
"Yes, Child Emperor said that the energy level in the spaceship is rapidly rising."
"Yes, but the civilians—"
"Recall the search and rescue teams for now. Have everyone take cover. You'll be taking fire soon!" Stitch urgently informs the bearded worker.
Far away amongst the destruction, a wounded survivor can be seen limping toward safety as a familiar biking hero arrives. "Hop on!"
Saitama smiles slightly before looking over to Mumen. "Hey you were there too? That's cool."
Mumen Rider smiles awkwardly back while scratching his cheek. "Y-yeah haha. I was part of evac."
"That is most noble of you, Mumen Rider. Despite your weakness you tread forward to help others." Genos states with a tone of praise usually only given to his Master.
"I think you're overdoing it… but thanks Genos." Mumen Rider smiles fully in appreciation.
"I think he put it perfectly heh." Saitama says while giving a thumbs up toward the biking hero.
Back in the artillery zone of the ship the odd looking alien notices that the cannons are ready.
"There we go. Geryuganshoop still hasn't gotten back to me… but whatever. Let's see… I believe the order was to concentrate fire around the enemies on the surface near Melzargard."
Down on the ground Puri is seen placing a marble between his teeth before shattering it as a third head falls off of Melzargard.
"Two heads to go! I'll bust 'em wide open!"
"Is it time?"
"Ship, bombardment, coming…"
The odd alien controlling the artillery is seen zooming in on Melzargard's location. "There they are. All right… click!" The alien pushes a button. The bottom of the ship lights up as multiple projectiles are sent toward the heroes.
"It's over."
"Evasion, impossible. Instant death." Melzargard smiles as the hero's deaths are ensured.
Until a familiar green haired esper appears behind the fighters.
Saitama's eyes slightly widened in recognition. "So you saved them?" Saitama turns to question the green haired esper in a tiny bit of surprise.
"Hmph. As annoying as it was, yeah I did. Can't have the little guys die so easily can I? Besides, I needed the ammunition." Tatsumaki answered back with a tone full of ego. Though it seemed mostly like a cover for her heroic actions.
Saitama raises an eyebrow, but doesn't question it.
"It appears Ms. Tornado does care… a very miniscule amount, but an amount nonetheless." Genos thinks quietly to himself while noting the short espers' tone.
Tatsumaki begins to become enshrouded in a green glow as she swiftly throws her hand out, stopping all the bullets instantly.
"Huh… What happened?" The alien on the ship can't help but be confused at the physics defying sight.
"What on earth?" Bang questions while looking up at the odd sight.
"They stopped." Puri Puri mutters.
The two turn around, finally seeing the green haired esper.
"All of you would be dead without me. Can't you even finish one small fry?" Tatsumaki begins floating up. "Maybe try starting over from Class C." She turns the bullets back towards the ship before preparing to launch them back. "You can have… your shells back." All the shells begin to spin and blast upward back into the ship causing massive destruction all over it.
"Wow… that's actually really cool. You can control that many things at once?" Saitama questions while watching the screen, not having seen what had actually happened outside himself.
Tatsumaki smiles pridefully while placing a hand on her chest dramatically. "Well of course I can." Tatsumaki then smiles evilly. "If I really wanted to I could lift all of City Z maybe more." Her gaze shifted toward the associates as they shivered.
"What did we do?" The associates collectively shivered.
"Uh please don't. I live there." Saitama mutters while looking nervous at the espers declaration.
Tatsumaki rolls her eyes while crossing her arms. "I'm not actually gonna do it you idiot. Besides, you can live in the S Class apartments now."
Saitama gains a look of realization before turning to his trusty disciple. "I totally forgot about that. Genos, can you remind me that I need to pack my stuff?"
"Hai Sensei. I will assist you as well with preparations." Genos answers and begins noting it down in his memory banks. Why he doesn't do this with Saitama's notes? Who knows.
"Unless there's a whole nest of monsters under your house? I'd basically be obligated to remove City Z." Tornado smirks while Saitama just looks at her like she threatened to rip all his coupons.
"No no. Not that I last checked. I still need my stuff." Saitama answers while waving his hand back and forth in dismissal before turning back to the screen.
"Th-This is…" Stitch stutters out from inside the Hq.
The members of the control room in the Hq watch in awe as the entire underside of the alien ship gets bombarded.
The artillery alien cries silently. "I wanna go home."
Back near the entrance of the Hq with the bearded worker.
"I didn't expect you to be here. Thank you, Mumen Rider."
"Which areas are likely to have survivors? There must be more out there."
"But you…"
"I'll go rescue them right now." Mumen Rider firmly declares.
"It does amaze me how you head toward danger despite knowing the risks Mumen Rider-kun." Bang comments and praises the now bashful Mumen Rider who just thanks him quietly.
"He's got guts. I'll give him that." Zombie Man chuckles while Metal Bat grins.
"More heroic than some people I know." Child Emperor mutters while shaking his head.
"We want to know, too." Mumen Rider turns around to find Stinger and Lightning Max behind him.
"Yeah, can't let him hog the limelight." Lightning Max grins.
The bearded worker appears unsure, but slightly relieved. "Stinger, Lightning Max…"
Stinger pats his hand on a nearby vehicle. "Mind if we borrow this?"
"You guys…" The bearded worker seems sentimental or hopeful.
Most of the cast swelled with a mix of pride and joy at the hopeful moment. Despite not being able to fight they still came to help and while it may have been for glory most would like to think that was just an excuse.
Back near the heroes on the ground with Melzargard.
Metal Bat dodges a large array of tendril attacks from Melzargard and smashes through some of them.
Puri Puri moves to catch a handful of the tendrils as Silver Fang hops on top of the makeshift rope.
"Nice catch."
Bang blasts forward and cuts out the marble out of one of the heads.
The Demon Cyborg's eyes widened. "Bang-sama how did you know there was a marble there?" Genos questioned in curiosity.
"Merely a stroke of good luck Genos-kun." Bang smiles back while chuckling.
Atomic Samurai grins while fiddling with his wheat stalk. "Luck ey? Sure sure heh."
Garou just rolls his eyes. He was already well aware of how strong his former master was. Besides, he had figured out the pattern of the regenerating alien a while ago as well.
"Found it… Smush." Silver Fang quickly destroys the orb.
"One left!" Silver Fang states while landing on a nearby pillar.
In a fit of rage Melzargard curls up a tendril and lashes out, hitting the old martial arts directly in the abdomen, sending him crashing through multiple crumbled walls before stopping inside a building.
"Silverfang!" Atomic Samurai yells out in concern.
Tatsumaki's eyes widened slightly before shaking her head. "He wouldn't have gotten hurt from such a wimpy attack. He's stronger than that."
"Woah you ok jiji?" Saitama questions with slight concern, forgetting that he was literally sitting with them completely fine.
"Of course Saitama-kun. I wouldn't be defeated by such an attack." Bang chuckles.
"Bang-sama's durability is incredibly impressive." Mumen Rider comments much to Bang's amusement.
"Indeed." Genos affirms while watching the screen earnestly.
"A…direct hit." Iaian worriedly mutters.
Silver Fang lies seemingly unconscious, embedded in the wall of the wreckage.
"Weak, weak! You are all so very weak. Dead after a single hit! A change of tactics was all I needed. If I forget defense and focus on attack, this will all be over quickly. And you're next!" Melzargard states while appearing to bulk up in preparation for another attack.
"I will spring past that sword and squeeze your skull 'til it pops."
"Think so? Then be my guest." Atomic Samurai beckons the alien with cold anger.
"Hoh? Were you perhaps worried for little old me, Atomic?" Bang questions jokingly while looking over to the samurai.
"Ah shut it geezer, I knew you'd be fine." Atomic Samurai waves his old friend off with an annoyed expression.
In the throne room of Boros.
Boros' singular eye narrows. "So he's come."
Everyone's eyes widen as the room grows with joy. This is it! The fight they've been waiting to watch the entire time!
"YEAH! FINALLY!" Metal Bat shouts out in excitement while getting up from his seat.
"I forget you're a kid sometimes." Zombie Man mutters with a smile while shaking his head.
"Time to see just how strong this Boros is." Child Emperor comments while readying himself to take in as much information as possible from the fight.
"Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kind of excited to see your fight, baldy." Tatsumaki says while gazing at the screen in a small bit of anticipation.
"It wasn't that interesting, but I'm sure it'll be fun to watch." Saitama answers back with a small grin.
"Master, all your fights have been amazing!" Genos exclaims, dismayed that his Master would describe his fights in such a way. Saitama nods with a small smile in response while scratching the back of his head.
"Well if you can even call them fights heh. Saitama finishes them off so quickly!" Mumen Rider chuckles. He was also quite excited to watch Saitama actually fight instead of one punching a monster. Like he was going to watch a new movie or something.
"I must agree. However, I must say even short, your fights have been pretty amusing to watch." Fubuki says while remembering the previous times Saitama let the opponent do a bunch of moves before one shotting the enemy.
"Well I hope I entertain." Saitama smiles slightly bigger than usual, much to the surprise of the small group.
"Doctor, won't this be the first opponent Saitama hasn't killed in a single hit?" Mosquito Girl questions, not having really paid attention enough to remember the other fights. She hadn't been all that interested in the man who had almost killed her. Frankly she was terrified when they were brought to the theater. But now she felt more at ease thanks to the viewing.
"Yes, that is correct. Whether it be that this Boros has incredible durability or simply regenerates is another thing to discuss."
"Who cares? As long as we get to see Saitama fight this is gonna be awesome!" Metal Bat grins while swinging his bat in the air with excitement.
"This is going to be so coooool!" Tareo can be seen barely containing his excitement.
"Yeah, this is probably going to be one of the greatest fights you ever see. So watch carefully, brat." Garou smirks while giving a noogie to the now annoyed Tareo.
"Pfh. Of course I will you old fart. I wouldn't miss this for anything!" Tareo responds.
"Oi." Garou mutters while glaring at the boy who just shrugs at him much to his exasperation.
"A full on fight from Saitama? I wonder how it's going to go?" Darkshine questions aloud.
"I'm sure however it plays out it will be the fight of the century." Tank Top Master responds as Puri nods his head in agreement.
"I am sure Saitama will obliterate the enemy." King mutters in usual King fashion much to the other 3's surprise.
"Show me your speed, Saitama." Flashy Flash narrows his eyes at the screen as Sonic just gives him a funny look.
Saitama runs toward the giant throne room's entrance and jumps up while reeling back for a punch with an emotionless expression, busting through the door effortlessly.
"Good lord that never gets old." Metal Bat grins, still fidgeting in his seat.
"He just busts through stuff like it's nothing." Child Emperor once again notes down another feat of Saitama's strength.
A close up showing of Saitama reveals a massive aura and extremely defined muscles, indicating the strength of a warrior. Absent is the dopey look Saitama usually carries.
"This planet's finest warrior… I can sense no limit to his energy." Boros stands up while seemingly analyzing Saitama.
"No limit? Has Master broken something within himself? How is limitless energy even achievable?" Genos questions while looking over to Saitama who just watched the screen in slight surprise.
"So that's how Boros saw me huh?" Saitama thought to himself. The fight had happened a whole week ago yet it felt like it happened just yesterday to him.
"You the boss of these invaders?" Saitama questions.
"Wonderful! Before we fight, let us exchange names. I lead the pirate band known as Dark Matter, and am Dominator of the Universe. I am Boros." Boros declares.
"I'm a hero for fu—I mean, a professional hero. My name's Saitama." Saitama responds while fixing up his introduction.
"Pfh. You messed up your introduction? Super lame baldy." Tatsumaki snickers much to the chagrin of Saitama.
"Well it is to be expected since he wasn't a professional hero up until now." Fubuki laughs softly at the ever growing annoyed expression on Saitama's face. Though it seemed like he was more amused than anything else rather than actually annoyed.
"Saitama…" Boros wears a massive grin in anticipation for the fight.
"Look, I don't know what the Denominator of the Universe wants with Earth… but you sure trashed City A."
Many loud facepalms can be heard resounding the theater.
"What I want with Earth?" Boros begins to step down from his throne and toward Saitama. "There exists a prophecy."
"Prophecy? You mean…" Saitama questions while wearing a semi serious face.
"Once, I traveled the universe, ravaging everything in sight. But I was too strong. Eventually, there were none left who could face me. I came to know the torment of utter, all-encompassing boredom.
An image of a very odd looking alien with a glass ball is shown. "Then one day, a seer told me… On a faraway planet, a being exists who is my match, one who could rekindle my passion for battle. That was nearly twenty years ago. Have you any idea the distance I have traveled to get here?
Boros now stands head to head with Saitama. "My men thought the prophecy was a ruse, made up to lure me away… But now I am certain. Come. Give stimulation to my existence. That is why I am here!"
Instantly Boros gets blasted into a nearby pillar as Saitama's fist is shown to be raised, his glove steaming hot from both the speed and strength of the impact.
A couple of yelps were heard since the screen gave no warning of the attack from Saitama. It was basically instantaneous.
"Wow, talk about coincidences." Child Emperor muttered.
"Huh?" Metal Bat questioned in confusion.
"The Boros guy had a seer tell him about Saitama while Madame Shibabawa told us about a great danger which ended up being…" Child Emperor trailed off, letting the punk hero finish the sentence.
"Huh?"
"Boros you idiot. The only thing that Saitama has faced that could take a punch from him!" Child Emperor smacks his face as his hand slides downward. His colleagues were so dense sometimes.
"You really needed it spelt out for you huh?" Zombie Man grinned at Metal Bat to which he just scowled.
"I also didn't piece it together… Am I dumb?" Mosquito Girl thought to herself while deadpanning.
"Are you stupid? You can't just go around attacking other planets just to liven up your boring life. Even telemarketers wouldn't think that." Saitama declares before raising an eyebrow when realizing Boros was still alive.
"Holy crap! I know you said it, but he really survived! Like a full on punch!" Mumen Rider exclaims in slight disbelief. It was almost unthinkable for anything to survive a punch from the bald hero. Saitama simply chuckled.
"Incredible. This alien must be extremely strong." Genos deduces while analyzing everything happening on the screen.
Tornado rolls her eyes at the duo's enthusiasm. Meanwhile she was waiting with anticipation for the fight to actually start. How would the one eyed alien fare against someone she had trouble against?
The Denominator of the Universe exits the crater he was placed in as the pieces of his armor falls.
"This set of armor, used to seal in my immeasurable, irresistible power… has been broken."
An extremely goofy looking Saitama is shown watching Boros with an unimpressed expression. "OK."
Boros brings his arms together as his skin begins to turn a dark blue-purple. His inner flesh begins to glow bright blue and his exoskeleton changes shape.
An enormous burst of power blasts outward throwing debris everywhere. Saitama simply continues to watch with no change in expression.
"It is time!" Boros Blasts forward.
With that the screen goes black, indicating that the episode had finished, much to the groaning of the theater.
"COME ON! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Metal Bat yells out, angrily waving his bat at the ceiling.
"You have got to be doing this on purpose Screen." Child Emperor dejectedly mutters as Zombie Man pats the poor genius on the back.
"I don't make the episodes complain to the creator."
"What creator?" Saitama questions, but gets ignored.
"Anyways, until next time. Have a good break folks."
