The screen awakens as the viewers once again take their seats in the comfy theater chairs.
Fubuki leans over in her chair toward Tatsumaki to ask a question. "Sister… by any chance, did you know Saitama at all before this viewing?"
Tatsumaki seems to ponder for a minute while taking up a thinking pose. "Yeah I met the Baldy at one of the meetings before that giant alien spaceship destroyed City A, why?"
Fubuki seems to nod as if confirming her suspicions. "Did you ever see him fight at all during the invasion?" Fubuki questions curiously, slightly peaking the small esper's interest.
"No? He disappeared while we were fighting the ship… wait. What are you implying?" Tatsumaki points an accusing finger toward her sister.
"Do you think perhaps… Saitama was the one who brought down the ship?" Fubuki questions before finding her sister's face frozen in something akin to confusion and surprise.
"Ah I didn't mean to say that you didn't bring it down yourself of course! It's just… with all the things we've learned about Saitama I couldn't help but question whether he was the one who actually took the ship down! That's all I swear!" Fubuki tries to explain herself before her sister misinterprets her thinking.
"That's right… I never figured out why the ship started falling. Nothing I did really affected it but it still eventually stopped floating." Tatsumaki thinks to herself while trying to remember the events.
A flashback of Tatsumaki's encounter with Saitama plays where she finds him punching his way out of the ship nonchalantly with a teared up suit.
Tatsumaki's eyes go wide. "N-no way. Did that Baldy!?" Tatsumaki quickly turns her head to look at the mentioned bald hero who notices her gaze and gives a lazy wave.
"Who am I kidding of course he did. The only question left is how?" Tatsumaki is left to continue pondering as the screen begins to play.
"Humans!" A giant octopus monster bellows out.
"If you wish not for annihilation, take heed! I bear a message from the depths! You will surrender the surface to us, the Clan of the Seafolk! Thereafter you shall become our nourishment, human scum—" The monster stops for a second when it notices a certain bald head.
"Nice head! Are you related to an octopus by any chance?" The octopus monster laughs loudly before the screen cuts to black.
A certain biking hero is seen making it to the scene of the monster attack.
"I heard it was that same guy again."
"What was his name?"
"I forget, but he's super-strong." The screen pans to the octopus' upper torso blasted off.
"Damn you really took your anger out on the guy didn't you?" Metal Bat questions while snickering.
"Don't know what you're talking about." Saitama answers back while averting eye contact.
A computer screen displaying comments about Saitama is shown being browsed.
HE TAKES EVERY OPPONENT OUT WITH A SINGLE PUNCH.
BUT PEOPLE SAY HE STEALS OTHERS' CREDIT.
I MEAN, HE'S CLASS C.
"Class C? Never seen him before… I've got to keep up."
"Mumen works hard huh?" Saitama thinks to himself.
The water is shown parting as numerous monsters begin to approach land.
THE DEEP SEA KING
"So that's the title of this episode, kinda lame? Anyone remember this monster?" Metal Bat ponders aloud.
"Yeah it was the bugger that took down Puri and Genos. The news talked about a fraud, but I didn't pay much attention to it." Zombie Man responds while thinking over his memories of the incident.
"Yes… the Deep Sea King was a formidable opponent and I foolishly let my guard down." Genos absentmindedly reflects on his own failure.
"Hmph. If I was there he wouldn't have lasted a single second. You're both failures." Tatsumaki scowls out in disdain.
Puri Puri Prisoner appears reminiscent of the day, looking down at his hands and clenching them in frustration.
"Help! Somebody!" A random beach goer yells out in fright.
"We, the Clan of the Seafolk, now rule the surface! It is useless to resist!" Another octopus-like monster yells out while holding onto a civilian.
Suddenly the arm holding the human gets blasted off by a hero wearing a tight black suit that seems to be made of bandages carrying a staff with an odd spear end.
"You'll pay for that, human!" The monster shouts angrily.
The young man poses before ensuring the safety of the populace. "The Class A hero Stinger, rising in popularity and currently 11th in the rankings, is here to help. At your service, everyone!"
"Eeee! That's Stinger! He's a super cool hero with his signature bamboo spear!" Tareo fanboys over seeing another hero from his book.
"Eh. The thing looks flimsy as shit." Garou comments, causing Tareo to frown a bit.
"Well he's certainly flashy." Mosquito Girl says randomly as Flashy Flash sneezes.
"Shouldn't he be focusing on the monsters?" Armored Gorilla questions in slight confusion.
"It's Stinger!"
"We're saved!"
"Go for it!"
"Well now… Anyone who needs a new blowhole drilled into their torso, step right up!" The drill hero confidently declares.
Genos is seen using his heat cannon to dry the dishes. "Master… You have moved up to rank 2 in Class C."
"Wow he climbed so quickly even with all the negative reputation." Mumen Rider observes.
"Well if he was properly ranked he'd already be in Class S." Child Emperor rolls his eyes while working on his computer.
"Do you think he could possibly replace Blast?" Darkshine questions to his fellow muscle heads.
"Perhaps. Though none of us have really seen Blast's full strength." Tank Top Master replies as Puri Puri Prisoner nods in agreement.
"We haven't seen Saitama's full strength either." King comments surprising the 3.
"You are on the verge of entering Class B!"
"Didn't expect anyone to be happy about achieving B Class pfh." Tatsumaki snickers much to Fubuki's chagrin.
"Class B, huh? That means I won't have any more weekly hero quotas, right?"
"Correct."
Suddenly Genos' phone rings. "Oh, excuse me…"
"Hello? City J? It is a bit far. Are there no competent heroes nearby?"
"Busy guy…"
"Sensei! I would never be too busy to fulfill your needs!" Genos firmly states causing stifled laughter to fill the room.
Saitama smiles awkwardly before giving a thumbs up. "I appreciate it, Genos thanks"
"Bro's got a robot maid kek." King thinks to himself.
"Master! The monster you defeated on your way home the other day called itself one of the 'Seafolk,' right?"
"I forget." Saitama answers back.
"Several monsters calling themselves the 'Clan of the Seafolk' have appeared in City J and are attacking anyone in sight." The T.V news continues informing its viewers.
"A Class A hero fighting them all alone and on the brink of defeat." Genos grimly deducts.
The scene switches to a different T.V.
"His extreme fatigue and pain are apparent. A prompt response from the Hero Association is desperately needed."
Mumen Rider is seen preparing his gear to head towards the upcoming danger.
"Hang on!" Mumen Rider says aloud to himself while leaving his room.
"What's the C-Class gonna do about this?" Tatsumaki questions in disbelief at watching a powerless nobody heading toward danger.
Meanwhile Mumen Rider is dreading his appearance during the Deep Sea King battle. "Man this is going to be so embarrassing."
"The threat level is Tiger. All citizens are asked to stay out of the area." The news continues to blare on Mumen Rider's T.V.
"Oi Mumen you're wasting electricity." Saitama bluntly states while pointing at the screen and looking at Mumen Rider.
"Huh? Oh you're right, sorry." Mumen Rider chuckles, finding Saitama's frugal nature humorous.
The screen turns back to Stinger with a large bruise forming on his head. "You've got spunk, you slimy bastards. My beloved Bamboo shoot here is happy to be battling enemies with some grit for a change. But it's time to end this."
Flashy Flash and Sonic, who are now sitting next to each other, collectively roll their eyes.
"You can quit your boasting, human! Your foolish fan club has run off."
"But your death will not be easy. For the taking of our brothers' lives, long will we cause you to suffer."
"Four fish to go! It's a lot easier without an audience! Sing, Bamboo shoot!" In an impressive display of skill Stinger easily punches holes into the monsters faces, killing them instantly.
"Gigantic Drill Stinger Quadruple Thrust!"
"Wow. That was pretty cool. Genos, you think I could do that?" Saitama asks in a serious tone.
Genos in turn goes stone faced. "Sensei, I do not believe you require a weapon to slay monsters."
"Does he seriously think that was impressive? I mean the amount of people he's surrounded by with incredible skill should impress him even more." Atomic Samurai mutters almost bitterfully to Bang.
Bang and Bomb give each other a look before chuckling.
"Yes yes I'm sure Saitama-kun would be most impressed with your skills." Bang states while covering his mouth to hide his laughter.
"Hah? That's not what I- nevermind." Atomic Samurai lets out a defeated sigh. "This old geezer."
The drill hero successfully lands with a pose. "I did it… I did it! These monsters were probably a God-level threat…"
Everyone in the theater collectively smacked their faces in disbelief, minus Saitama.
"Is that true? Were they a God-level threat?" Saitama questions without a hint of jester.
"Wuh- Baldy you dumb queball! OF FUCKING COURSE IT'S NOT! IT WASN'T EVEN TIGER LEVEL! YOU LITERALLY COULD HAVE POKED THEM AND THEY WOULD'VE DISAPPEARED!" Tatsumaki yells out in absolute frustration with the resident bald hero's denseness.
"Huh really? I guess looks are deceiving." Saitama mumbles to himself while taking his hands off his ears.
"Sensei I believe that when it comes to threat levels it really should not matter for a person of your strength." Genos blatantly states.
"You think?" Metal Bat sighs having thought he finally got used to the stupidity of it all.
"I cannot tell if he is deliberately playing the fool or if he is a genuine fool anymore." Metal Knight thinks to himself.
"and I defeated them all by my—" Suddenly a punch comes out of nowhere and shuts the arrogant hero up.
"You know, when something's so annoying, It is a pleasure to watch it die."
The Deep Sea King has appeared.
The camera pans to Saitama and Genos running towards City J.
"How much farther is City J?"
"We are almost there. But I am getting no readings. I will scout ahead. Once I have confirmed their location, I will let you know."
"Oh…hey!"
"Tsk tsk Genos-kun, not listening to your sensei and taking off without confirmation is very unstudious." Bang chastises Genos over his quick and rash decision making.
Genos' eyes go wide at the realization as he quickly turns around to apologize to his master only to be met with an open palm from Saitama. "He's just messing with you Genos. I don't care."
Genos looks to Bang who gives a humorous expression to which Genos just stares. "Very well Sensei."
The city speaker system blares as Saitama continues his run. "This is an announcement from the Hero Association. The threat level is Tiger. All citizens, please stay clear of the area."
CITY A - HERO ASSOCIATION HQ
"Was the warning issued?"
"The request just went out."
"We'll need to update it and re-issue."
"What do you mean?"
"Stinger is down."
"Mumen Rider here. I'm heading in. Give me the location!"
"Seriously, what could you hope to accomplish as a C Class? If an A Class couldn't handle it your way out of your league." Tatsumaki questions with a look full of contempt.
"I was-" Mumen Rider was about to answer before Saitama speaks up, cutting him off.
"Oi Tats why don't you lay off him? He's a good hero. He was doing the right thing." Saitama retorts in a slightly irritated tone.
"Hmph. I was just asking an obvious question." Tatsumaki huffs in annoyance.
"It's like I don't even know the person sitting next to me." Fubuki marvels at the wonders of modern Saitama on her sister.
"All lines are busy at this time." Mumen's phone answers back.
"Where are they?" Mumen mutters in frustration.
A truck full of random heroes seems to be heading in the opposite direction. "Hey, best forget it! Class C heroes can't handle this one."
"Exactly what they should be doing. At least these ones know their place." Tatsumaki thinks to herself.
"Huh?"
"The word just came down." The driver of the truck explains.
"Emergency evacuation warning. The threat level has been raised from Tiger to Demon. All residents of City J—"
"See what I mean?"
Despite the warnings Mumen begins pedaling towards the danger.
"Please evacuate immediately!" The alarm continues to blare its warnings.
"Hey!" The other heroes try to stop the biking hero but fail.
"I repeat. All residents of City J, please evacuate immediately."
The screen pans to a distasteful looking monster who appears to be wearing a king's crown and speedos with heart shaped nipples. "Evacuate? How foolish. As if I'd allow even one of these apes to escape."
High up on the roof tops a hero can be seen observing the Sea King. "So that's the one that got Stinger… But he's the last of 'em. Should I wait for backup? If it's one-on-one, maybe I can—"
"Wow that's Lighting Max! The martial art hero with explosive kicks! So cool!" Tareo ponders with stars in his eyes while Garou just rolls his eyes at the sight. "Ugh… heroes."
Suddenly the Deep Sea King appears behind Lightning Max and scares the living daylights out of him causing him to jump up and squeal before delivering an explosive kick.
The Sea King appears unaffected. "That smarts. Why would you do this?"
"Dammit, how'd he get behind me? I was so surprised my voice went all funky. Plus, my gunpowder-charged lightning kick had zero effect! I can't win."
"At least he was smart enough to know his place." Garou thinks to himself while sizing up the fish freak.
"I wonder if it tastes like fish…" Pig God absentmindedly ruminates.
"Who are you?" The Sea King questions in a more demeaning tone.
"I am… Lightning Max, the hero… Fight me." Lightning Max gets into a fighting stance.
"Fight you? Of course."
"I'll run for it as soon as—" Suddenly Max gets cut off from his inner thought as the Sea King punches him straight in the stomach and blasts him into a building.
A couple of the less powerful in the room wince at the impact.
"Huh he survived that? Kinda impressive for a regular human." Blast wonders to himself at the miracle happening before him.
"What happened? I can't feel my body…"
The Deep Sea King slowly walks over to the downed hero with a massive grin on his face.
"Ugh what an arrogant little creature." Tatsumaki mutters out.
"Little?" Saitama questions in a joking tone.
"Why are you so annoying!" Tatsumaki yells out in irritation and frustration at not being able to do anything to the Bald hero.
Lightning Max slowly gets up, defying the laws of physics. "Dammit. You arrogant…"
Suddenly, the front part of Max's shoe opens and lights up, causing him to perform a boosted roundhouse kick. "Lightning Flying Backwards Roundhouse Kick!"
Shortly afterward the hero is blasted through the same building and thrown outside.
"Ah! My entrance finally!" Puri Puri Prisoner lets out an excited noise causing everyone to cringe at the possible scene they're about to witness.
Before Lightning Max hits the ground he gets caught by Puri who was running with a chain ball attached to his leg..
"Class S hero, Puri Puri Prisoner. I escaped from prison… just to see you!"
"Wait, you're a prisoner?" Saitama turns around to ask the muscle head.
"Well yes technically. It's even in my name. Let's not get into the details, Saitama-kun." Puri winks at Saitama who in turn just turns back around with a confused face. "Well everyone seems fine with him being here so I'll just let that be."
"Well, well. A hero serving time in prison? I tagged along and was able to escape too. My thanks."
"So you were also there? Interesting." Flashy Flash questions his quote on quote equal.
"Nothing interesting about it. The two freaks were nothing more than mere annoyances." Sonic grumbles while still remembering the distasteful scene.
"Two?" Flashy Flash raises an eyebrow.
Sonic smacks his face before pointing at Puri.
Flashy Flash wears a look of understanding. "Ah yes. Two."
"Prisoner number 4188, Sonic, right?" Puri questions Sonic who in turn gives a slightly surprised look.
"Surprised I know? You see, I check up on all the boys who catch my eye. I'm serving a life sentence because I can't resist attacking beautiful men." Sonic gives an expression of disgust as Puri finishes explaining.
A resounding smack can be heard from throughout the theater as Saitama's face now holds a red mark causing everyone to look slightly confused and a few to laugh.
Saitama on the other hand now seems to understand Puri's situation in the Association. "I get it now."
"Oh my. More soldiers come for me?" The Deep Sea King appears.
"Goodness! I feel the strength about to erupt out of him! Sonic, dear, you hang back." Sonic promptly ignores Puri's warning.
"Class A rank 11, sweet Stinger. Class A rank 20, Lighting Max. I fancied them both. And yet you ruined them! Now that Genos has passed me, I am the lowest in rank… but I am still Class S! I am unlike either of them. I'll begin at half-power, to gauge how much you can take." Sonic watches on with a blank face.
Flashy Flash just smacks his face while Sonic grins at him irritatingly.
Puri bulks up and rips his sweater. "You made me rip the hand-knit sweater my boyfriend made! I will never, ever forgive you!"
"A delectable slab of meat, quite prime. My appetite's up!" The Sea King quickly delivers a punch to the caught off guard Puri who delivers back another punch causing him to fly back.
"Huh? Oh my… I felt that… just a little." Sea Kings jaw already reforms.
"I felt that too…a little." Puri blows some blood out of his nose.
Sonic continues observing. "Puri Puri Prisoner is acting tough, but he's hurting… So this is what a fight between a demon-level monster and a Class S hero looks like? It's almost comical. Neither one could defeat me."
"Oh Sonic! You shouldn't say such mean things!" Puri Prisoner yells out in a goofy tone.
"Blech." Sonic lets out a distasteful noise while Flashy Flash just grins back.
"Dammit… His punch was stronger than I expected. But I must not lose to him. I can't have any more of my boys destroyed by this monster… I have no choice. I'll have to transform."
"Oh he has a transformation? That's cool." Saitama says aloud causing everyone to cringe.
"Oi Screen! Do we really have to see this?" Tatsumaki yells out while throwing her fist around at the ceiling.
"Yeah there are kids in here!" Metal Bat adds on.
"Ugh good thing I brought my glasses." Child Emperor mutters while taking said dark black glasses out and putting them on.
"Oi you gonna share?" Zombie Man chuckles while also preparing to look away.
Child Emperor just shakes his head innocently.
"It will be blurred for comedic purposes. If you really do not want to watch the next part you may cover your eyes."
"Huh? What does he mean by-" Saitama wants to continue asking but the screen plays and everyone instantly covers their eyes even Blast.
"Ready… Transform! Puri Puri Prisoner Angel Style!" Puri Puri Prisoner proceeds to go bare naked.
"Ah." Saitama lets out a defeated and regret filled noise.
"So gross." Tatsumaki gags while averting her eyes from the disaster on screen.
"How is this even allowed in the Association… he is a walking hazard." Fubuki mulls over her thoughts while staring up at the beautiful ceiling.
"You were warned, Caped Baldy." Drive Knight says while his eye was now not on his face any longer.
"Is it that bad?" Tareo asks innocently as Garou still covers his eyes due to Tareo being too curious and oblivious to understand the warnings.
"Yeah you really don't want to see this no matter how old you get. Trust me kid." Garou mutters while also looking away from the screen.
"He's naked. And he's definitely no angel. Nor is he human. Nor do I want to watch." Sonic thinks to himself.
"No one has ever seen my Angel Style and lived to tell about it." Puri Puri Prisoner proudly states.
"All the more reason to leave." Sonic quickly blasts off, leaving the two to duke it out.
"Quite unsightly." Even the Deep Sea King is disturbed.
"Puri, maybe it's time to not do that anymore?" Tank Top Master says while calmly staring elsewhere.
"I must agree it is unsightly even to me!" Darkshine says in a less enthusiastic tone than normal.
"No no. It's my special move! I can't just give it up!" Puri Prisoner retorts in a matter of fact tone.
"Are those…your last words? Angel Rush!" Puri jumps into the air as white wings appear from nowhere before quickly disappearing as he begins hailing down on the Deep Sea King with numerous punches.
"Elevated energy levels nearby. That must be it." Genos is seen standing on top of a building scanning the area.
Genos checks his phone before quickly realizing a problem. "Damn it! I have no way to reach Master! It cannot be helped." With that Genos leaps off of the building to head toward the fight.
"Done with your combo? I felt that…a little." The Sea King appears undamaged as he chuckles.
The Sea King then launches a devastating blow to Puri's abdomen before unleashing his own onslaught. "Hear me. The objective of a combination move is to finish your opponent. Each separate attack must be delivered with intent to kill. Like this."
Puri gets launched into a building and lays motionless.
Everyone lowers or returns their gazes back to the screen as the previous display was now over.
"Nice fight, Puri!" Darkshine gives a thumbs up.
"What a beating." Metal Bat whistles out.
"Ugh that would've been a pain to get up from." Zombie Man cracks his neck and sighs while thinking about a possible combat scenario.
"I learned a valuable lesson that day." Puri solemnly declares to no one in particular.
The Sea King turns to Sonic while posing goofily. "Isn't this fun?"
Sonic's eyes narrow ever so slightly. "Just who are you?"
"I am the Deep Sea King. As lord of the Clan of the Seafolk, this world is mine to rule. Do you dare defy me too?"
"You think you have the strength to rule the surface all alone? That's pathetic." Sonic scoffs.
"Wow the ninja actually said something of value. Color me surprised." Tatsumaki mutters sarcastically to which Sonic just glares.
WatchDog man sniffs the air for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "Someone farted."
"Oh? Then I suppose you must die."
"That's my line. I would have let you live if you'd shown me the respect I'm due. I'm no hero, but I will eliminate you."
"You're as cocky as ever." Flashy Flash all but states with a smirk.
"I'm not cocky, I'm correct. Once we get out of here you and I will have a duel to finally decide who's the fastest." Sonic speaks without taking his eyes off of the screen.
"The rain…is falling." The Deep Sea King suddenly lunges forward intent on plowing through Sonic, but the quick ninja leaps away and delivers a swift kick.
"Too slow. Wind Blade Leg! Deep Sea King, I see right through your moves."
Before a second even passes a large mouth filled with teeth almost chomps Sonic.
"Are you sure of that? Once it bites, my little moray here never lets go!" The Sea King boasts proudly.
Sonic clears the gap and smashes the Sea Kings mouth shut, chopping the moray tongue clean off. "Let me be clear. There's no way I'd ever lose to you."
The Sea King immediately begins throwing a numerous amount of punches, but Sonic dodges all too easily.
"It's useless. You may have power… but you're too slow to fight me. I'm glad, Deep Sea King! Fighting something like you just confirms how strong I really am! You see, my moves are the fastest and the strongest!"
"How arrogant can one person be?" Tatsumaki ironically says out loud causing everyone to look at her funny.
Tatsumaki wears a look of annoyance before scowling. "I'm not arrogant, I only speak the truth, hmph."
"Whatever you say, runt." Metal Bat whispers to himself quietly.
Sonic looks down at his opponent from the building he leaped to as the Sea King laughs deliriously. "Now what, lost your mind?"
The Sea King leaps up after Sonic and delivers a punch that he quickly dodges.
"He's faster! Stronger too?! What happened to him? He's huge!"
"Really? That was faster for you? It seems we may not even have to duel after all." Flashy Flash chuckles.
"Just you wait. I'll make you eat your words." Sonic grins ever so slightly.
"The air of the surface shriveled me up a bit, but thanks to this rain, I feel like myself again. Your attacks don't hurt me… even a little!"
"At this time, the whereabouts of the Seafolk that attacked City J are unknown. Several heroes who tried to stop them have been found unconscious at the scene and remain in critical condition." A T.V in the middle of the city continues playing the news as a certain heroic biker passes by.
"Of all the times to hit a red light…" Mumen Rider ceases his advance in order to obey traffic laws.
"You're joking right?" Metal Bat turns to look at Mumen Rider in full confusion.
"What? I can't just run a red light!" Mumen Rider responds.
A few people proceed to smack their faces causing red marks to maintain their appearance.
"Where'd he run off to?" A wild Saitama has appeared.
"Wait, you're… Class C, rank 2."
"You a hero too? Have you seen Genos?"
"Genos?"
The Screen flips to another T.V screen.
"Today, as our guest, we have the top-ranked, Class A superhero who has also been number one in popularity rankings for weeks straight. He's also a successful model, actor and singer. Let's welcome the handsome Mr. Amai Mask!"
"Thank you for having me."
A few of the audience members groan in annoyance.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Saitama questions at his colleagues' irritated expressions.
"The guy is basically more arrogant than Tornado. You saw him before you should already know." Metal Bad blurts out which causes the mentioned esper to growl.
"Eh, I just think he's eccentric." Child Emperor shrugs.
"He's the pillar of all Class A and will stop anyone he deems unworthy from moving to Class S." Fubuki lectures while wearing a slight look of frustration.
"Ah got it. One of those types." Saitama points finger guns at Fubuki.
"Sensei now that I recall correctly. He might also be the reason for your placement at the bottom of Class C." Genos says out loud while wearing an analytical face causing the entire theater to go silent.
"IT WAS THAT PRICK?" Tatsumaki yells out in disbelief while slamming her hands into her arm chair.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me. We missed this power house because the guy couldn't handle his ego?" Atomic Samurai mutters while shaking his head.
Bang just simply holds his head. "Is this that foolish youth we had when we were young?"
"Most likely brother." Bomb responds while patting his back.
Child Emperor raises his hand grabbing the attention of many. "It's true. I just looked up the Associations database and he was classified as C-Class by Amai Mask himself for a multitude of reasons. A couple being about his looks."
Stitch sweats a bit. "Uh I can neither confirm nor deny that."
Tatsumaki floats up then checks for a second if the Screen would stop her.
After a moment nothing happens and she wears a giant mischievous grin. "Looks like I'm able to do what I want this time."
Tatsumaki grabs Stitch telekinetically before getting up close and personal. "So Stitch. Would you like to please tell us why the strongest person aside from Blast and I was placed into C-Class BECAUSE THAT SON OF A B*TCH DECIDED HE WAS BORING? AND WITHOUT ANY OF OUR SAY EITHER?"
"Uh, guys it's really no trouble. Besides, I'm in the same class as you guys now so it's fine." Saitama scratches the back of his head in slight confusion at why everyone was reacting so negatively.
"Yeah no I'm with the brat on this one. You had like the highest physical scores out of anyone here." Zombie Man speaks up although much calmer than the esper.
"I-I-" Stitch stutters to get his words out.
"It was because we didn't think much of Saitama either." Another executive nervously speaks out for Stitch's sake.
"Yes Yes! We just assumed Amai's decision was correct based on his experience! Besides, if we went to bother any of you to confirm for us his strength would you have even bothered?" Stitch holds his hands out in fear of the Tornado.
"He does bring up a good point." Metal bat mutters almost annoyed at the logic.
Tatsumaki stares at Stitch for one last second before placing him back in his seat and floating back to her own. "I'm twisting that annoying ass prick in half once we're out of here."
Saitama raises his hand to possibly stop Tatsumaki from being a murderer. "Uh. Maybe let's not do that?"
The short esper rolls her eyes while scowling. "No promises Baldy."
"I really wish Sister wasn't in kill mode half the time." Fubuki places a hand on her forehead.
"Incredible. Master was able to quell the temperamental Tornado even faster this time." Genos writes in his notebook in fervor.
"We are currently facing a threat level of Demon. How do you assess the situation?"
"That is a difficult question.
"Why is that? I'm only a hero when I confront evil. The rest of the time, I'm focused on my career as an artist."
"I see. I'm only here today to promote my new song."
"See our point now, Baldy?" Tatsumaki questions while drinking some kind of juice from a cup.
"Uh yeah kinda." Saitama replies in a now slightly more understanding tone.
"My apologies. In that case, let's discuss your song."
"Let me just say this. To assuage the public's fears and worries, heroes need to be both tough and strong so that they can defeat evil with speed, grace, and brilliance. I find it regrettable that there were heroes who were completely beaten by evil this time. So that no hero ever dies in vain, I hope each will continue to train his hardest."
"My attacks have no effect. Could I be lacking in power? I can't kill him unarmed. I need to retreat for now and find a weapon."
"Pfh." Flashy Flash covers his mouth to hide his snickering, but fails.
"Tch." Sonic rolls his eyes.
"Caught you!" The Sea King takes a firm grasp of Sonic and begins squeezing.
"Crack crack, snap snap." Sonic imitates the sound of his bones cracking.
The Sea King opens up his hand to find just Sonic's clothes. "Huh?"
"Wait there. The next time we meet will be your demise." Sonic swiftly disappears into the wind.
"No matter. The small fry can be let go."
The screen changes to Sonic landing in front of a certain cyborg.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? There were orders to evacuate."
Sonic raises an eyebrow. "A hero? If you're after the Deep Sea King, better forget it."
"Deep Sea King?" Genos questions.
"You heroes could all jump him at once and still lose. You're fine at playing make-believe, but against true power you don't stand a chance. You can't protect a thing." With that Sonic disappears leaving Genos alone in the rain.
"Who was that pervert?"
"Pfh." Flashy Flash once again snickers under his breath.
"Shut up if you don't want to die." Sonic mutters silently.
"The Seafolk?! I sense numerous life signals nearby. With so many… The evacuation shelter!"
Many eyes widen at hearing what's at stake.
"Ah shit the fight happened at one of the shelters?" Metal Bat begins to get anxious as his leg bounces.
"Doctor, do you remember seeing this on the news by any chance?" Mosquito Girl questions in morbid curiosity.
"I believe I saw a glimpse. But I was too busy with work to really pay attention." Genus answers back.
"What the hell was the association doing while I was gone? It should never have gotten this far." Blast wonders to himself in disappointment.
A little boy is seen with his father hiding inside the shelter. "Daddy, are the scary monsters still outside?"
"Don't worry. As long as we're in this shelter, we're safe. Besides…if it comes down to it, I'm sure all of us together can beat a monster or two." The father optimistically cheers his son up.
On the outside of the dome the Sea King appears.
"I sense them… Yes, so many! It's coming from… over there!" The Sea King takes a mighty leap into the air and crashes down into the dome.
"Greetings… and goodbye." The Sea King eerily smiles.
"Tch. Why am I missing all these fights? I should've ended this stupid sea freak or whatever." Tatsumaki grumbles in her mind.
"Man, I was too slow again? I'm lucky Genos and Mumen were there to stall." Saitama somberly thinks to himself.
A single hand raises. "Please wait! We surrender! We will comply with any demands you have. But please do not attack. I beg you."
"I'm only Class C, so I evacuated. Now I'm trapped. I'm no hero. I'm a failure…"
"When push comes to shove the real emotions come out huh? At least he realizes he's a loser." Garou grumbles to himself while feeling anxious at seeing the Sea King in the shelter.
Tareo was currently shivering from the scary look of the Deep Sea King.
"Surrender? I've come to kill you. Your deaths are inevitable! And as for my demands… How about I demand you scream nicely as I slaughter you?"
"I can't win… I know it won't amount to much, but all I can do is buy time for the Class S heroes to get here. But look at this monster… Who am I kidding? I can't buy time just by talking to him. I pissed my pants… I'm pathetic."
Normally laughter would arise, but even the judgmental ones of the audience stay silent, feeling the severity of the situation.
Suddenly two other heroes stand up next to the fearful hero. "I'll fight with you!"
"Heroes? There are others in here too?"
"I may be the lowest ranking at 38, but I'm still a Class A hero." Snake Bite Snek walks out of nowhere.
"We can do this. I-I'm a hero too! Allback-man is here!"
"Tsk. They're going to be slaughtered." Sonic mutters under his breath to which Flash grits his teeth slightly.
"Maybe I should've gone huh Bang?" Atomic Samurai questions himself.
"I as well. Perhaps it is presumptuous of us to only come when called." Bang answers back solemnly.
"Heroes?"
"The heroes are here?"
"Heroes!"
"They'll save us!"
"I feel better with a Class A around." A cyborg with boxing gloves declares.
"Yeah… Two Class C's, one Class B and one Class A… We can do it! We can win!"
The screen swaps back to Saitama and Mumen who were now both on Mumen Rider's bike.
"You sure this is the way?" Saitama questions.
"Yes, since residents are fleeing from this direction, we'll find monsters further up." Mumen answers back.
A quick blur passes by.
Saitama looks back toward where Sonic had run off. "Did you see a butt naked guy run past?"
"What?" Mumen says in slight disbelief.
Saitama jumps off and begins running. "Maybe he was taking a bath and was left behind. I'll check it out. Go on without me."
"Got it!"
A ringtone is heard as Rider answers a call. "Mumen Rider here. Yes, we're on our way. What! The shelter? It was the other way!"
The heroic biker proceeds to turn and begins pedaling, having dropped his phone on the ground it sits in the rain alone.
The scene swaps back to the shelter.
"All right. When I give the signal, charge him. One… Two…" The group of heroes prepare themselves and steel their resolve.
The screen switches back to Saitama who was currently looking around for the naked person.
"That's weird. I know I saw him…" Saitama suddenly finds the phone Mumen Rider dropped before the screen changes back to the shelter with the roof blasting outwards.
All the heroes now beaten down the Deep Sea King towers over the citizens with glee. "Why so quiet all of a sudden?"
"Are you one of the Seafolk?" Genos' voice is finally heard as he stares down from the hole the Sea King made.
"Ugh finally. What took you so long, Genos!" Metal Bat yells out releasing some of the pressure in the room.
"Talk about close calls." Zombie Man chuckles.
"My apologies. You are correct, I was quite late to the fight." Genos states in a neutral tone.
"Mumen Rider went in?" The Associate with the glasses questions in shock.
"Yes. I couldn't stop—"
The computer screen suddenly shows Mumen Rider on call.
The bearded worker looks up in surprise. "Mumen Rider?! What's your location? This is beyond you. The monster even took out a Class S hero! We need to assemble a subjugation squad."
"A Class S hero was defeated?" Saitama questions.
"Who is this? Where's Mumen Rider?"
The screen showcases the valiant effort of the hero biker.
"Stand-up Peddling Mode! Roar, Justice!" Mumen Rider yells out while pedaling furiously.
Mumen Rider covers his face in slight embarrassment as a few cast members smile fondly at the sight. "Please erase that from your eyes." Mumen whimpers.
"Already ahead of you biker boy." Garou rolls his eyes at the disgusting display of this heroism..
Back to Saitama with Mumen Rider's phone.
Suddenly Saitama's eyes grow wide. "Oh man sorry Rider. I forgot to take your phone with me."
Mumen Rider blinks a few times before smiling. "Haha don't worry about Saitama! I already got a new one after that day!"
Saitama wipes the nonexistent sweat of his brow. "Phew. No extra bills to pay."
"Baldy you're filthy rich now." Tatsumaki shakes her head in dismay at the bald hero's stupidity.
Saitama shrugs. "Won't stop me from being me."
"Is this the Hero Association?"
"Yes. Who are you? Give me the owner of that cell phone right now!"
"This is the hero Saitama."
"Saitama?" The bearded worker questions in slight confusion.
The screen finishes on a pose of a super serious Saitama before turning to black.
A few moments of silence take place before Tornado speaks up.
"Pfh. Why are you posing so dramatically in the rain?" Tatsumaki snickers while trying to hold back full blown laughter.
Saitama looks slightly embarrassed while scratching the back of his head. "To be honest I don't remember looking like that."
"Maybe it's for dramatic flair." Child Emperor suggests while shrugging.
"Welp that was a total cliff hanger. If this was like an anime series I'd be pissed." Metal Bat grumbles despite knowing they will literally see what happens in 5 minutes.
"Isn't the screen supposed to say something? Like remind us we have a minute break then tell us off for fighting again?" Fubuki questions aloud for everyone to hear.
"Us? You mean Tornado." Drive Knight responds bluntly.
"Screw you tin-can!" Tatsumaki shouts.
"Alright. Go take your 5 minute break and we'll be back in a few. Stay tuned folks."
"Huh? Who are you talking to?" Saitama questions the screen while everyone else wonders what he means.
"Uh no one Saitama. Go take your breaks."
