An eye opens within a glacier, red with rage and an aura exuding destruction. It breaks free.
"Long have I awaited this moment, human filth. With the Subterranean and Deep Sea kings gone, the Terror Lizard Clan can at last reclaim rulership of the Earth!"
"Sis, wasn't that the…?" Fubuki questions the short esper in wary curiosity.
"Ugh, yes. Dumb lizard had the audacity to call me a little runt!" Tatsumaki scowls in barely hidden anger.
"Man, that thing is ginormous!" Metal Bat exclaims while staring at the screen with wide eyes.
"We've seen bigger, remember?" Child Emperor states while raising an eyebrow in befuddlement.
"Well technically that was a ship. This thing is like alive." Metal Bat articulates while pointing at the giant lizard.
"Probably not for long." Zombie Man responds while pointing over to Tornado.
Suddenly, a bunch of missiles get launched at the giant kaiju, hitting their mark but not doing any damage.
The kaiju stomps towards the tiny mobile missile launchers and crushes them.
A giant plane can be seen heading towards the monster's awakening site. "Now leading target towards point Bravo."
"Roger. We are inbound and on schedule."
"We'll be on top of Bravo shortly."
The plane's hatch opens as a cloaked person falls out before removing their jacket to reveal the Tornado of Terror, who begins to fly.
"Finally I get my deserved screen time!" Tatsumaki grins in vanity.
"Sis you've been on screen for longer than almost everyone in this room minus Saitama and Genos." Fubuki mutters while holding her head in some form of disappointment mixed with embarrassment, though it goes unnoticed by her sister.
"Oi, Genos." Saitama whispers to the slightly befuddled cyborg.
"Yes Master?" Genos responds.
"You think you could blast that giant lizard away? I've never actually seen how strong your blasters get." Saitama questions in curiosity while pointing a thumb at the screen..
Genos' eyes widen slightly before he pulls out his notebook, much to Saitama's slight regret. "Hai Sensei! My largest blast as of now is capable of most likely decimating large portions of the overgrown lizard. But some calculations would have to be made as I do not know how tough the kaiju's hide is. We will have to observe how Ms. Tornado deals with the threat."
The mentioned Tornado rolls her eyes at the cyborg's intense explanation while hiding a small smirk.
Saitama just smiles and gives a thumbs up. "Neat."
The short esper lands and glares at the kaiju with distaste.
UNPARALLELED PERIL
"And who are you?" The large reptilian beast gazes down at the small esper in questioning.
Tatsumaki proceeds to ignore it in favor of answering her ringing phone. "Hello? What is it?"
"What do you mean, come back?! You're the one who said some weirdo monster was waking up and flew me out here!" The short tempered esper yells back into the phone.
"Weirdo...?" The Terror Lizard King sounds offended.
"Pfh. Even the monster gets offended by Tornado." Metal Bat snickers.
"Who doesn't? It's more like nobody can do anything about it." Zombie Man rolls his eyes.
Child Emperor holds a finger up. "Except for Saitama now."
"OI! I CAN HEAR YOU NUMBSKULLS!" Tatsumaki shrills in growing annoyance from across the theater.
The three quickly shut up and zip their mouths..
The 3 share a unified thought with a comedic sweat drop. "Man she's scary sometimes."
"That's right. I was just about to start." Tatsumaki continues to yell at the poor soul on the other end of her phone as the giant kaiju grows impatient.
"Listen well! I am the Ancient King. As ruler of the dinosaurs-"
"Trouble? So what?"
"Who once ruled this planet-"
"It's not my problem!-"
"I stand above all other lifeforms."
Tatsumaki finally acknowledges the kaiju before her in an irritated tone. "Hey, shut it! Can't you see I'm on the phone here?! I'm so tired of this. Who's he think he is, ordering people about?"
"Kinda ironic Tats, no?" Saitama questions in a blunt manner.
"Well it's the stupid association's fault for calling me all the way out there to deal with the stupid lizard then immediately calling me back!" Tatsumaki hmphs while glaring at the bearded worker specifically, who cowers in fear.
"It wasn't even me technically! I just made the phone call!" The bearded worker mutters in his mind, despaired at the Tornado's ire.
The kaiju lowers itself close enough to the ground to where its chin was now directly over Tatsumaki. "Are you done?"
The unimpressed esper raises an eyebrow. "What's with the chin? Trying to be scary? Should I be intimidated?"
"Oh man I didn't actually realize just how big that thing is. It's like that old movie series with the giant lizard!" Tareo says with wide eyes.
"It's just a big punching bag, kid. Unless it actually has the laser breath or whatever." Garou mutters while wondering how he'd himself take down a monster of that size.
"Act brave while you still can, little runt."
"Runt?! How dare you!" The irritated esper pouts and yells at the uncaring beast.
The Terror Lizard King stomps down with a large roar before realizing that the pest wasn't eliminated. "Ah, so you aren't helpless!"
Tatsumaki could be seen floating not too far away.
"Man I wish I could fly." Saitama says in slight want.
"Master, perhaps Dr. Kuseno could create a suitable device for you to become capable of flight. I need simply to request it." Genos answers promptly.
"Well can't you already run super fast?" Mumen Rider questions, slightly baffled on why the bald hero would need flight at all.
"Well yeah… but it's pretty cool to fly. Running gets boring fast." Saitama mutters back to the biking hero in a somber tone.
"Flying gets boring fast too, you know. Not as hyped up as you might think." Tatsumaki responds in a bored tone.
"She's right." Fubuki nods in agreement. While she has never flown as fast as her sister she too experiences flight far too often to find joy in it anymore.
"Easy for you two to say, you're always flying." Saitama mutters almost dejectedly.
"Note. Ask Dr. Kuseno to create a flight device for Master." Genos writes into another section in his notebook.
"But if you intend to destroy me, a giant meteor is about the only way."
"Fine. I'll do that then." Tatsumaki nonchalantly states.
"Wait, you can bring meteors from space? That's pretty cool." Saitama says in slight surprise.
"Of course I can. I'm me after all." Tatsumaki smugly responds.
"T-that's incredible Ms. Tornado." Mumen Rider says in shock.
"I bet the one she uses here isn't even her record." Fubuki mumbles, feeling irritated once again by her sister's incredible psychic powers.
"Don't make me laugh." The overgrown lizard mocks before charging up some sort of beam attack.
A resounding smack could be heard from Garou's area as Tareo just appears confused.
"Of course it actually has a breath attack." Child Emperor mutters while facepalming.
"That's like a textbook giant lizard monster." Metal Bat says in a disappointed tone.
"Did you expect anything else?" Zombie Man questions, to which Metal Bat simply frowns.
Suddenly, the giant kaiju stops before looking upwards, finally noticing a disturbance within the atmosphere.
A meteor is seen falling down toward the Earth with a small tint of green surrounding it.
The scene cuts to show that the meteor had hit its mark as Tatsumaki floats unimpressed. "How about another 300,000,000 year nap?"
"Wow you really brought a meteor to the fight. Kinda unfair…" Saitama meanders.
"You're joking right?" Tatsumaki continues to watch for a change in expression on the bald hero's face. "Of course you're not." Tatsumaki face palms. She feels that she has been doing that a lot recently and reflects on it.
"Master, I believe I would be able to blast the giant kaiju away with maximum output and core usage. Though I'd most likely be left immobile afterwards. Much like that one female character that uses 'explosion magic' from the comedy you watch." Genos explains with precise calculations in his notebook.
"Would that be similar to what you used against the meteor in the previous episode?" Fubuki questions, now curious as to what Genos was explaining.
"That is correct." Genos nods.
"Wow, that's pretty cool. That's gotta be bigger than the blast you used in our practice fight right?" Saitama questions in minor interest.
"These people could easily destroy cities… and I am sitting next to two world ending disasters…" Mumen Rider ponders rather morbidly while scratching the back of his head.
The floating esper notices the previously used plane now coming back to pick her up as she lets out a hmph in annoyance.
The camera pans to a certain old man's dojo.
"Hoh. I remember this." Bang says out loud in reminiscence.
"You actually brought those two to your dojo?" Atomic Samurai questions in surprise.
Bang simply gives him a look. "Do you blame me for trying?" Bang grins at the atomic sword user who just rolls his eyes.
"It's a cool technique, jiji, but I don't think I can use it to be honest." Saitama answers from the front with a slightly apologetic tone.
"Do not worry Saitama-kun, I understand now, much better than before at least." Bang smiles at the overpowered hero to which he just nods.
"Why would you anyway? You're literally stronger than the combined strength of all the muscle heads in Class S." Tatsumaki questions, feeling rather tired from asking unnecessary questions yet still doing so anyways.
"Eh. Cool techniques I guess. Just punching stuff isn't exactly exciting." Saitama responds while trying to think over what he could do to make himself more flashy.
"I think you're cool Mr. Saitama!" Tareo exclaims while throwing punches into the air. Garou just sighs in a tiny bit of conflicted annoyance.
Saitama smiles slightly in response to the enthusiasm of the young hero admirer.
"Perhaps they would like to give my technique a try?" Bomb questions to himself to which Bang chuckles.
"Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock." The well known martial arts hero, Silver Fang, could be seen demonstrating his well crafted technique.
"It goes something like that. Want to try?" Bang lays a hand out in an offering towards Saitama and Genos who were just sitting nearby.
"You both look like quick learners. I bet you'll get the hang of it in no time." Bang reinforces his willingness to teach them.
"This is the cool thing you said you wanted to show us? A sales pitch? I'll pass. You do it, Genos." Saitama mutters boredly.
"Tch. The disrespect." Atomic Samurai mutters coldly.
"I'm sure Saitama-kun meant no harm. He is simply himself and that is fine." Bang says to calm the disgruntled samurai.
Saitama just gives an apologetic expression toward the old hero who just waves a hand in dismissal.
"I must admit the jan-ken-po was humorous." Genos says as he recalls the hilarious experience.
"I still want a rematch." Saitama says with a glare of determination and anger usually unfounded in the bald hero.
"Huh? What's so fun about jan-ken-po?" Tatsumaki questions in confusion. Fubuki and Mumen Rider also show an interest in figuring out what was so exciting about a children's game.
"Not that game…" Atomic Samurai mutters while holding his head as Bang just smiles.
"We will actually be watching that later so avoid spoiling the fun, Saitama and Genos."
"Got it." Saitama replies in a monotone, his previous show of excitement now gone.
"Understood." Genos simply nods.
"No, I will pass too. What I seek is not the art of self-defense, but absolute destructive power." Genos responds in a monotone.
Charanko gets up into a fighting stance, determined to teach these disrespectful heroes a lesson. "You punks! You dare mock our fighting style?! I, Charanko, the top disciple, challenge you—" Charanko throws a punch.
Before Genos promptly grabs him with one arm, lifting him up above the ground with a menacing glare.
"Wait, that's really your best Silver Fang?" Tatsumaki questions in disbelief and surprise toward the slightly embarrassed martial artist.
"Unfortunately, yes. I'm sure the next part will explain it." Bang responds.
"Did we know that doctor?" Mosquito Girl questions in curiosity and mild bewilderment at the extremely weak disciple of the rank 3 hero.
"Yes, though it wasn't as important as the other information we had gathered at the time." Genus responds while tilting his glasses up.
"I doubt any of us would have a problem with this… Charanko." Armored Gorilla mumbles.
"I give up!" Charanko yelps with a strained voice.
"Is he really your best?" Genos questions bluntly.
"Yeah…" Bang disappointedly answers.
"I heard your dojo was full of skilled fighters."
"Well, one of my disciples went wild. He beat my most skilled students so badly they're all out of commission. The rest got scared and quit."
"He's that strong? What's his name?" Saitama asks in curiosity.
"Garou… He was my top disciple at the time, but I gave him a good beating and expelled him." Bang mutters.
"I don't regret a thing!" Garou laughs mockingly while the rest reel in shock at the reveal that Garou was Silver Fang's disciple at one point.
"Why did you do that uncle?" Tareo questions in oblivious innocence.
Garou's demeanor switches quickly as he coughs. "Uh, you'll learn when you're older, kid." To which Tareo just pouts, but decides to ignore it.
Bang simply watches from his seat as Garou interacts with the young child. "Perhaps it is not too late. The Screen did imply that we would be able to save Saitama-kun and Garou from their troubles. At least… I wish to believe so."
"Wait, that was you? We should have a fight then. You must be strong." Saitama turns to the now slightly apprehensive Garou with an expressionless face.
"You idiot, who the hell would want to fight you after all the stuff we've seen? Unless the dumbass is suicidal." Tatsumaki questions rhetorically.
"I dunno I'd go easy to begin obviously. Like with our fight." Saitama shrugs.
An anger mark appears on Tatsumaki's head as she clenches her fist. "This Baldy really gets on my nerves."
"I'm good bro." Garou salutes half heartedly. "I'll train more than come after you, along with the rest of you heroes." Garou glares menacingly.
Tareo's eyes widen slightly unbeknownst to Garou. "Uncle is going to go after the heroes?"
"Just try it buddy!" Metal Bat waves his weapon in the air in an equally menacing tone.
Tatusmaki just gives a cold stare. "So the guy is suicidal."
"Does he really believe he could take all them on? Or is he simply delusional?" Fubuki wonders to herself.
"Illogical to threaten all of us at once. Not that you'd be able to take on any of us alone." Flashy Flash announces in annoyance.
Meanwhile, Sonic felt semi conflicted. Not having spoken to Flashy Flash in a long time, he had not realized he wished to continue their conversations. Memories of the past had been dredged up both good and bad as they shared their present day experience along with some laughs and jeers. He wasn't sure if he wished to fight these heroes that he had grown to be annoyed by. He still wished to best Flashy Flash and Saitama of course, maybe even kill Saitama for embarrassing him, but was unnecessary violence needed anymore?
"Garou, please calm yourself. There is still time to right your wrongs." Bang hopefully wishes in his mind with tightened eyes. These actions don't go unnoticed by Bomb and Atomic.
"Are you aware of the consequences to declare that in a room full of heroes?" Stitch calmly questions the uncaring Garou.
"Who cares? I'll top every single one of you eventually. It's only a matter of time. The Screen said so himself! You're all doomed to fall by my hands." Garou explains in an assuring tone. Mostly to himself.
The rest of the heroes just glare at the former disciple in a mix of anger and irritation.
"If you ever get to that point, I believe Master will stop you. As there is nothing capable of defeating him in this world." Genos states matter of factly. Mumen Rider just nods his head resolutely in agreement.
"Oi Genos. You don't know that. Stop stealing my hope away." Saitama dejectedly mutters to the now surprised and apologetic cyborg.
Garou rolls his eyes.
"Good lord how am I going to survive any of this. The Screen's probably going to show me dying in the future!" King wonders to himself in despair.
"You must pack a punch, old man." Saitama smiles while complimenting the hero.
"Hey! This is the famed hero "Silverfang!" Class S hero, rank 3. He toys with opponents as he flows like water, then delivers a blow like a raging river smashing huge rocks! A master of martial arts! You only became a hero recently, right? You'll regret taking Master Bang lightly!"
"Enough, Charanko! Do not disgrace us. Saitama is many times stronger than me." Bang reprimands his singular student.
"Master, you can't be serious…" Charanko seems unsure what to believe.
Suddenly the doors of the dojo burst open to reveal a sweating associate who appears greatly panicked. "Mr. Silverfang! The Association sent me. An emergency summons has been issued to all Class S heroes! Please come to Association Headquarters."
The tired associate suddenly notices the Demon Cyborg. "Oh! Is that you, Mr. Genos? Since all Class S heroes have been summoned, please come too. Is it threat level Dragon?"
"Here we go… Charanko, look after the dojo." Bang informs his tense disciple.
"Be careful, Master!" Charanko exclaims nervously.
Genos looks over to Saitama. "If Class S is being summoned, they may need your help too, Master. Will you come?"
"I will…since I got nothing to do."
"How can you look so proud while saying that?" Tatsumaki questions, not sure if there was a point to asking.
Saitama shrugs. "Eh. I honestly didn't think I looked like that when I said I'd go." Saitama responds, also unsure of why he looked so dramatic.
"Master, if I remember correctly from my memory files you actually did appear slightly more serious at the time." Genos states to which Tatsumaki just grins.
"You are so sabotaging me on purpose, Genos." Saitama groans while holding his head.
"I do not know what you mean Master." Genos says while grinning ever so slightly.
HERO ASSOCIATION HQ - CITY A
The trio arrive at the Hq and walk down a corridor until meeting up with an oddly dressed man with a chonmage hair style and wheat stalk sticking out of his mouth. "Oh ho, Silverfang!"
Atomic Samurai grins at finally seeing himself, for some odd reason. "Finally. It took forever to see myself on screen!"
"Hoh? I didn't realize you were so enamored with this experience." Bang chuckles as the samurai's grin falters.
"Do not worry I am sure everyone here wishes to see themselves at this point. It's only natural I suppose." Bomb attempts to comfort the samurai but only seems to further the embarrassment.
"It's been a while, Atomic Samurai." Bang responds with a small smile.
"I knew you'd come. And this is the cyborg Genos and… Hm? Who's this?" The confused samurai questions.
"This is the Class B hero Saitama. His exceptional talent will one day place him atop Class S, I'm sure, so we asked him to come." Bang explains
"Hi, middle-aged hero dude! Put 'er there!" Saitama offers a handshake, but is denied as Atomic Samurai bats his hand away.
Atomic Samurai winces ever so slightly at watching his counterpart disrespect the hero before them. "Ugh. Now I feel bad for doing that." Atomic Samurai whispers to himself.
"Perhaps an apology would suffice?" Bang questions in invitation while smiling slightly.
The samurai just looks away in annoyance, not used to feeling this way.
"No handshakes. I acknowledge only the strong. Once you've climbed up to Class S, I'll greet you properly. Besides, I'm not middle-aged yet. I'm only 37."
"37 isn't middle-aged? I had no idea…"
"I take it back." Atomic Samurai mutters in his mind in irritation.
Suddenly, a certain short esper makes her presence known. "Hey, who brought a Class B nobody along?"
"Don't you think it's beneath us? And even if you were invited, a polite person would decline. The nerve! I bet you're only here for some creepy reason like getting close to us Class S heroes." As Tatsumaki rants, Bang and Genos walk past, not caring very much.
The annoyed esper, or annoying esper, points an accusing finger at Saitama. "You disgust me. Leave."
The present Tornado also winces at her rude display against the bald hero who simply was there to help. "Did I really say all that? I didn't… think…"
Fubuki glances over at her sister and notices her slight discomfort, wondering if she was actually apologetic about her insults for once.
The art style briefly changes, showing a much shorter and goofier looking Tatsumaki along with a poorly drawn Saitama.
The theater bursts into laughter at the goofy art style the two characters had taken.
Tatsumaki blushes furiously and also grows furious at the same time. "OI! DUMBASSES STOP LAUGHING! IT'S NOT FUNNY!"
Saitama chuckles slightly, but mostly at his on screen counterpart. "It's pretty funny Tats." Even Genos was smiling at the screen, most likely taking many mental photos.
"SHUT UP!" A psychic blast forces everyone to promptly obey the esper. "Teme. You all have balls for thinking I'd let you laugh without consequences!" Tatsumaki scowls at the screen before becoming confused, suddenly realizing that their host hadn't stopped her from using her powers this time.
Fubuki had surprisingly not laughed and somehow kept her smiles down to a minimum at the on screen drawing of her sister along with the baldy.
Saitama points back while looking to Genos for an answer. "What's with this sassy... lost child?"
Tatsumaki promptly exudes a cold aura, sending danger signals to everyone in the room. Daring them to laugh.
Somehow no one lets out a peep.
Inside Blast's little room.
"Pfh. Why'd they change art styles?" Blast questions the being hosting them while pointing at the screen.
"Comedy."
"Fair enough." Blast responds to the air while eating some popcorn he had grabbed.
"I want to bring you into the theater eventually. I won't force you, but I'd like you to interact with the group." The Screen comments randomly.
Blast spits some of his drink out in surprise. "Wait what? Why do you want me to interact with them?"
"Comedy."
Blast contemplates for a few seconds. "Alright. I'll do it, but only after episode 12."
"Very well."
Back in the theater.
"That is Tornado. Class S, rank 2." Genos explains.
"'That'? I am not an object!" The Terrible Tornado objects with a pout.
"I am so going to scrap that tin-can again." Tatsumaki glares at the back of Genos' head.
"This is dangerous. Tornado is going to kill us all…" Tank Top Master thinks to himself while also still trying to conceal his laughter.
"She defeats monsters with her psychic powers. She is an ESPer."
"Oh yeah...?" Saitama mutters in slight fascination.
"It appears everyone is here. We should join them." Genos walks off as Saitama follows in tow.
Much to the short espers dismay the duo continue to walk, ignoring her. "Hey… Stop ignoring me!"
The scene changes to the meeting room with most of the Class S gathered, plus Saitama. As the camera pans to show off all the other heroes, Tatsumaki appears much shorter than usual with anger marks on clear display.
"Wow the screen really did you dirty Tats." Saitama says with a small grin while facing the short esper, who was currently exhibiting the same anger marks as her on screen counterpart.
"Don't. Talk. To. Me." Tatsumaki responds with stilted words filled with anger and crossed arms. "I am not that fucking short."
Meanwhile, Child Emperor also had similar thoughts. "Am I really that short?"
CLASS S RANK 17 PURI-PURI PRISONER
"Maybe this will be my chance to get closer to Genos…"
CLASS S RANK 16 GENOS
"It must be serious. Almost everyone is here."
CLASS S RANK 15 METAL BAT
"Demon or Dragon, bring it on!" Metal Bat yells in indignation.
CLASS S RANK 14 TANK TOP MASTER
"Saitama? The name rings a bell…"
CLASS S RANK 13 FLASHY FLASH
The flashy ninja gives a cold feeling.
"What? You trying to look cool in front of your friends?" Sonic pokes fun at Flashy Flash with a grin plastered across his face while at the same time, literally poking at him.
"Shut up." Flashy coldly replies while batting his hand away.
CLASS S RANK 12 WATCHDOG MAN
"Somebody farted."
A few people raise their eyebrows at that but choose not to comment on it.
CLASS S RANK 11 SUPERALLOY BLACKLUSTER
"They're all checking out my guns. Hell yeah!" The muscle head flexes his, well, muscles.
"Look at them checking out my guns! Hell yeah!" Darkshine flexes his muscles along with his counterpart much to the humor of his two muscle head buddies.
CLASS S RANK 10 PIG GOD
The gluttonous man eats burgers out of a bag like candy.
"I could use a refill." Suddenly a bag of burgers is dropped into Pig god's hands, allowing him the reprieve of getting up and retrieving more.
CLASS S RANK 9 DRIVE KNIGHT
The cyborg's red eye continues to dart around, possibly scanning those within the room.
CLASS S RANK 8 ZOMBIEMAN
"No one looks particularly enthusiastic. And does that pig ever stop eating?"
"Who would be? We all got called out on our important things." Child Emperor questions to the dull Zombie Man,
"It was an important call so I thought more people would be a little awake." Zombie Man replies.
CLASS S RANK 7 KING
A beating sound from the world's strongest man is heard, likely prepared for battle.
CLASS S RANK 6 METAL KNIGHT (ABSENT)
Everyone gives a side eye to the currently present Metal Knight robot.
CLASS S RANK 5 CHILD EMPEROR
"Rank 1's a no show again? I was hoping to see him." Child Emperor thinks to himself while licking a lollipop.
Blast chuckles, humored by Child Emperor's wish to see him. "Is that part of the reason for the 'comedy'?"
CLASS S RANK 4 ATOMIC SAMURAI
"Is Silverfang going to take those youngsters on as students?" Atomic Samurai fiddles with his wheat stalk.
CLASS S RANK 3 SILVERFANG
"So...why are we all here?" Bang questions.
CLASS S RANK 2 TERRIBLE TORNADO
"Who knows? I had to drop everything and then got kept waiting for two hours." Tatsumaki wears an extremely irritated expression.
CLASS S RANK 1 BLAST (ABSENT)
CLASS B RANK 63 SAITAMA
"Can I have some tea?"
Everyone lets out a baffled noise at the bald hero's request.
"Wow so many S-Class heroes! So cool!" Tareo's eyes glint and shine in adoration over his favorite heroes. Garou rolls his eyes.
"I can't tell if it's a good thing that I'm used to Saitama's antics or not." Fubuki mutters while facepalming.
"I'm still not used to it. It gets on my nerves." Tornado responds while rubbing her head as if to alleviate a headache.
"I think it's pretty funny." Mumen Rider says while grinning.
"If it helps to console you, Hellish Blizzard. I became used to Master's antics quickly and just 'roll with it' as he would say." Genos responds without looking, surprising Fubuki slightly.
"Oi stop talking about me like I'm not here." Saitama responds in humored annoyance.
"Now that I remember it, I don't think I ever realized he was even there…" King thinks to himself while wondering how he would apologize to everyone when the time eventually came.
The doors finally open to reveal Stitch, bearded worker, and glasses worker entering. "My apologies for being late. We do not know the whereabouts of Metal Knight or Blast, nor can we reach them. No sense waiting any longer, so let's begin this emergency meeting."
A robot delivers Saitama's request for tea.
"You can call me Sitch. I'm with the Association. I will be briefing you. Let's get right down to brass tacks. You heroes are here because you're the best of the best. And now…"
Stitch slams his hand down on the table. "We're asking you to save the Earth! However, even with your Class S skills, there is no guarantee of survival. Walking away also takes courage. Should you choose to do so now, you will retain Class S status. But those who stay and hear me out will not be allowed to walk away. You will be confined here until the incident is over in order to avoid a general panic. Are you all willing to hear this?" Stitch explains then ends with a question.
"Whatever's going on, it better be worth calling all of us here. I skipped out on my little sister's piano recital for this." Metal Bat gains a look of pure anger and a promise of pain. "If it's a load of crap, I'm gonna tear this whole building apart."
The Tornado of Terror scoffs. "Like you could do that with that skinny stick."
"Yeah? How 'bout I bust your head open instead?" Metal Bat retorts, irritated by the esper.
"If you think you can, go on and try, pillbug head!" Tatsumaki scowls venomously.
Saitama glances over to Tatsumaki for a second prompting her to grow irritated.
"What? He was annoying!" Tatsumaki hmphs. "Stupid bald head, empty numbskull making me feel guilty for dumb things."
"Hurry up and get on with it. Otherwise Mr. Pompadour here is going to die." Flashy Flash mutters.
"Hey, bobby pin, you siding with the girls?" Metal Bat turns to the Flashy hero with a look of disdain.
"The great seer, Madame Shibabawa, is dead! Shibabawa?" Stitch dramatically reveals.
"I still can't believe Madame Shibabawa died." Mumen Rider mutters in a bit of shock.
"I didn't even know who she was until that meeting to be honest." Saitama says while scratching the back of his head.
"That's not surprising in the slightest." Tatsumaki rolls her eyes.
Mumen Rider appears to want to say something but decides not to comment.
"Was she killed?" Zombie Man questions in surprise.
"No. While looking into the future for the next six months, she became agitated and had a coughing fit. She popped a cough drop in her mouth and ended up choking on it…" The glasses worker answers back.
Darkshine suddenly gets a look of realization. "I get it! So we have to figure out how to prevent disasters without the help of predictions. That's the focus of this meeting."
"No. Madame Shibabawa has only been able to predict a handful of disasters." Stitch responds.
"Excuse me! Hey, you there. Who's this Shibabawa? A hero?" Saitama questions Puri Puri Prisoner.
"You don't know? She's a seer. A great one at that. She correctly predicted earthquakes and monster attacks." Puri Puri answers.
"We've gotten through many crises without Madame Shibabawa's predictions. But even so, we provided a bodyguard and gave her special treatment." The bearded worker explains.
"Yes, because her few predictions were 100% accurate. The crux of the problem, though, is her last, greatest prophecy. Even as she choked on that final cough drop, she managed to leave this note. It is a prophecy that will absolutely come to pass."
Stitch places a piece of paper on the table, as a digital image of it appears. "Here it is! Can you read it?"
"Th-The earth…"
"...is in trouble?!" The whole room questions in shock.
THE EARTH IS IN TROUBLE
"Kinda hard to believe that it literally all happened that day." Metal Bat comments randomly.
"I don't think anyone thought it was gonna happen immediately either." Child Emperor replies.
"We got lucky the building Metal Knight made actually stayed standing. I mean. I think I would've been fine, but you guys woulda been toast." Zombie Man responds.
"Hah? My barrier would've protected us. You undead idiot." Tatsumaki declares proudly and slightly irritated.
"Wow clever insult." Zombie Man mutters while throwing jazz hands.
"You are foolish to think my building could fall. I built it to perfection." Metal Knight says, having overheard the conversation.
"Nothing is perfect. It just seems that way until it crumbles." Drive Knight responds in a blunt manner. If it bothered Metal Knight it didn't show.
"What? That's so dumb. Can I go? I have cram school." Child Emperor questions.
"I know you are a prodigy, Child Emperor, but if you cannot grasp the danger, it reveals how immature you still are. What'd you say?! Listen up! Madame Shibabawa's predictions are 100% accurate!"
"Wait, you're a prodigy? Like super smart? Dang no wonder you're in Class S." Saitama questions the young inventor.
Child Emperor puffs out his chest. "Yup! And I'm second only to Metal Knight in terms of inventing and technology!"
Saitama claps ironically looking unenthused yet supportive somehow.
"She has predicted many catastrophes in the past. A few of them resulted in the loss of countless lives. But not once did Madame Shibabawa use the word 'trouble.' Something more dangerous than a Dragon- level catastrophe or monster is on its way. And it will occur…"
"…in the next six months!" Stitch dramatically reveals, much to the disappointment of everyone in the room.
"Okay, but we've no idea when in the next six months." WatchDog Man states in a monotone.
"Yeah, hard to plan for that." Flashy Flash concurs with the dog man.
"You are correct. But I want you all to be ready for a fight in the next six months."
"In the next six months means… it could be tomorrow, or even today." Saitama says, as if adding something to the conversation.
"Can't believe you were actually right." Tatsumaki mutters in slight shock at not realizing his words at the meeting. Though to be fair, she was just too pissed off at the time to really care.
"The chances of that happening even with Madame Shibabawa's predictions should have been slim to none." Fubuki comments while watching the screen intently. She herself had not been there when City A was attacked, but she heard the news.
"Me neither." Saitama responds, not as invested as the others were into his prediction.
"Master, I believe it was wise of you to consider the following could occur." Genos states as Mumen Rider just chuckles while Saitama sighs.
"That's true. Who are you, anyway?"
"Good thing I'm here." Saitama flashes a smirk before the building suddenly shakes.
"The building is under attack!" Genos exclaims.
"That's impossible! This is the Hero Association HQ!" Darkshine says while looking in disbelief.
On the outside of the impenetrable Hq.
"A formidable fortress, to be sure! Time to attack. Hawk, Eagle, Falcon, Kite!"
"What the hell is that?" Tatsumaki questions out loud in confusion.
"Wait, you're telling me the first couple of blasts weren't from the damn ship?" Metal Bat exclaims in disbelief.
"I'm guessing that thing you guys fought on the ground killed it." Child Emperor informs the confused punk hero.
"That or whatever attack destroyed City A." Zombie Man adds on.
"– Yar! – Yar!"
"Wipe out these so-called heroes and the land will belong to us! We will dive straight in! Follow me, the Sky King!" The presumed Sky King dives down before suddenly stopping.
"Father...above us…"
"Escape…"
"Me, the Sky King, killed like some worthless insect. Who could have—" The Sky King falls apart as it is revealed that he had been cut in half somehow.
A being slowly comes into view. A muddy looking humanoid monster with multiple heads appears above the area. An axe taking up the arm and wings on its back.
Atomic Samurai glares at the monster, remembering that it had dismembered one of his disciples.
"That thing is disgusting." Fubuki mutters while covering her mouth.
"Oh come on you've seen worse than that." Tatsumaki says while rolling her eyes.
"What was that?"
"– Who knows?"
"– It flew, so we killed it."
"That is good. Duty, to protect ship."
A giant ship comes into view, purple in color, as the bottom part begins to glow dangerously. A ginormous explosion occurs, decimating City A and its inhabitants.
"Incredible power." Genus mutters in pure shock.
"I would not want to be caught in that." Mosquito Girl comments while holding her legs close to her body.
"No one would." Armored Gorilla replies, equally shocked.
"Those fuckers." Metal Bat grits his teeth in anger at seeing a city full of people reduced to dust.
"Can't believe that it had that much firepower in a single attack. I mean hearing it is one thing, but seeing it is… kinda terrifying." Zombie Man just stares at the screen.
"The amount of energy released in that blast is insane." Child Emperor mumbles. "Though, I think Saitama could replicate it or probably do worse to be honest."
"We should begin integrating an advanced defense system for each city. The heroes aren't always going to be fast enough." The glasses worker says to Stitch.
"You may be right. We can discuss it later. Perhaps Metal Knight will aid us once more." Stitch responds, not forgetting the destruction of City A.
"Maybe I should've been there." Blast thinks to himself, wondering if he made the right choice leaving the heroes alone for this fight. "I didn't think this Boros would be that bad."
Back on the inside of the Hq.
"Emergency power activated." The building's systems restart.
"What was that? What's going on out there?"
"I don't know. All communications have been cut off." Bearded worker responds back with a shout.
"Damn it…" Stitch brings up some kind of screen as a look of shock dons his face.
"Impossible!" Stitch exclaims in shock.
On the ground below, crying can be heard from a young child as a boulder is lifted.
The child looks up in fear before realizing the figure. "Dad!"
"We're okay now. Grab on to me. That's the way. Good job." The worried father reassures his child while pulling him out of the rubble. The child, finally back in his fathers arms, continues to cry before suddenly going wide eyed.
"Fuck!" Metal Bat shouts while banging his fist into his chair's arm.
"I hope they make it out ok." Fubuki mumbles in concern.
Tatsumaki watches the screen in irritation at herself.
"Not another family." Genos glares at the alien, memories of his past resurfacing, his fists tightly closed as a shadow is cast over his face.
Saitama looks over to Genos before going back to the screen. "Could I have… done more?"
"Is the Screen really gonna show these two deaths?" Garou glances over to Tareo who just looks scared out of his mind. "Nah. It's probably fine."
"What is this?"
"There are survivors?"
"– Ship, failed to kill all."
"–Then we kill."
"That is good."
The monster's fingers extend, intent on killing the two before a sword slashes them along with its main body.
Breaths of relief are released amongst the crowd as the sword wielding hero saves the day.
"He's trained well." Bomb comments to which Atomic Samurai huffs.
"Of course he is. I trained him after all." Atomic Samurai mutters before remembering that his disciple had suffered a terrible injury. Perhaps he should've trained them harder?
A hero clad in armor and wielding a sword signals to the father-son duo. "Get away now!"
The man smiles before realizing something was amiss and dodges a blow from the beast. The aliens' hands clap together, missing its intended target and only taking away the hero's helmet.
"Wow, he's quick." Saitama comments while watching the fight unfold.
"Master, you are many times faster, why does such a feat surprise you?" Genos questions in genuine confusion.
"I dunno. I just didn't expect him to be that fast." Saitama shrugs.
"Wait, how fast can you actually run? Have you even tried?" Mumen Rider questions in curiosity."
"Uh. I don't know the numbers, but I once ran from City A to City Z in like a couple of seconds. It was for groceries." Saitama says much to the shock of those around him.
"Of course it was for groceries." Tatsumaki mutters under her breath.
"They were on sale! For half off on all dairy products." Saitama exclaims, almost indignantly.
"How fast is that? Are you capable of calculating Saitama's speed Genos?" Fubuki questions, not even realizing she dropped the formalities a while ago.
Genos nods while appearing to calculate things in his head. "It will take me a moment, but I would need to know his direct route and location to calculate the accurate speed. If he went through City B then it would be most likely slower, though still extremely fast." Genos says.
"This was actually before I lost my hair. So like. I don't remember it very well." Saitama replies while scratching the back of his head. He never felt the need to discover how fast he could become as it never really popped up. Did it really interest his co-workers that much?
"That means you can probably run a lot faster now huh?" Mumen Rider says in amusement and a hint of excitement.
"I guess? I could always try in that room I fought Tats in. If the Screen lets us." Saitama shrugs while offering the idea.
"That would be pretty interesting actually." Tatsumaki perks up at the idea to alleviate whatever boredom there was after the episode. Somehow the 5 minutes always felt like a few weeks for some odd reason.
"You can use the room after this episode. I'll set up a treadmill for people of your caliber, Saitama."
"Wait a minute, can't you just tell us?" Metal Bat questions, overhearing the small group's conversation.
"He's got a point. Don't you already know everything that's happened?" Child Emperor questions the Screen.
"It will be funny to watch your reactions."
"Fair enough I guess." Zombie Man shrugs.
"Might as well see how fast he can run." Atomic Samurai huffs.
"I'm sure he won't be able to outspeed me." Flashy Flash mutters, though Sonic hears him.
"You? Forget that neither of you will outspeed me!" Sonic proudly says as Flashy Flash just rolls his eyes. "He literally did already."
"You think I don't sense your thirst for blood? I accompanied Master Atomic and was waiting for the Class S meeting to end, only to meet thunder and destruction. Is this your doing?!" The hero bursts forward and slashes the odd looking alien once more.
"Wait, you guys can sense that stuff?" Saitama turns to question the few behind him.
"Uh yeah Baldy. That's like a requirement for the S-Class heroes at least." Tatsumaki responds in a confused yet informative tone. The oddly calmer Tornado looks down at her hands with an irritated expression. "As much as I hate to admit it, without my barrier I'm extremely defenseless so having awareness lets me strengthen the normal barrier I have instantly to avoid stronger attacks."
Fubuki listens to her sister in surprise as she usually never spoke so vulnerably and so informatively.
The old martial artist hero nods to Tatsumaki's words. "It is true Saitama-kun. It is important for us to recognize dangerous enemies and their intentions. Awareness is a key difference between life and death." Bang adds on to Tornado's explanation.
Atomic Samurai and Bomb nod in agreement.
"Huh. I've never felt any from the monsters I fight. I thought I'd learn that by now after all the things I've fought." Saitama mumbles in slight disappointment, not realizing it didn't really matter.
"Master, perhaps you have never felt the need to detect it due to your overwhelming strength. Nothing poses a threat for you." Genos deducts.
"Yeah I think Genos is right! You're really strong so why would you need to detect blood lust?" Mumen Rider affirms Genos' theory while holding a flexing pose with his arm.
"I guess." Saitama mutters, though a small smile appears on his face.
Inside the Hq, panic is the only thing written on Stitch's face.
"Destruction levels at 99.8%? City A has been destroyed in an instant! Who could have known her prediction would come true this soon?!" Stitch exclaims while ripping at his hair..
"Hey! Why was this building spared?" Bang questions.
"We assigned Metal Knight to construct this building. That's why it's stronger than the average shelter." The glasses worker responds.
"So that's why there're no windows." Metal Bat comments.
"We should go outside and see. To be sure it's the prophecy." Child Emperor says as Atomic Samurai moves behind him.
"Master! Will you—" Genos starts before noticing his missing Master and finding a hole in the ceiling. A comical amount of silence passes.
"Pfh." Metal Bat stifles a laugh as Metal Knight stiffens.
"Don't feel so bad. It's Saitama after all. Nothing's gonna stop that bugger." Zombie Man says while grinning.
Drive Knight's singular eye moves over to gaze at Metal Knight. "Told you."
"He just jumped? Through the floors? It didn't seem like he exerted himself at all if no one noticed." Metal Knight grumbles in his mind.
Pig god continues to munch away at his food.
"Master…"
At the top of City A's hero Hq
"That's big! Are they aliens?" Saitama questions himself before taking a massive leap, sending him high into the sky.
"Well you can basically fly at that point!" Mumen Rider exclaims while gazing in awe at the on screen Saitama.
The bald hero smiles back softly. "Well it's not the same."
"How high can you actually jump?" Tatsumaki questions with an eyebrow raised in genuine curiosity.
"I dunno. I've never gone all out jumping before." Saitama responds with a shrug.
"So it's the same with running and everything else I'm guessing?" Fubuki questions rhetorically.
"I think Saitama might break the Earth if he did that." Mumen Rider sweat drops.
Genos appears to be calculating the force necessary to do such a thing, curious himself if his Master could theoretically be capable of a feat so great.
"Seconded." Fubuki agrees with a nod.
"Saitama-kun's strength is truly a mystery even with what we know." Bang says while stroking his mustache in thought.
"Honestly it's not surprising he hasn't tested his strength. If you're that strong why would you need to?" Atomic Samurai says while fiddling with the wheat stalk in his mouth.
Suddenly a large metal object fires at Saitama, which he easily dodges. "So that's what blew the city to pieces."
Many more projectiles launch at Saitama who dodges the giant bullets before stopping one of them and sending it back with a kick.
"Go back to… your planet!"
Eyes widen, yet everyone seems to have already gotten used to the bald hero's feats of strength. No longer surprised at how the man defies logic and physics.
"Like how? You're literally breaking the laws of physics by just floating there. Are you sure you can't fly?" Child Emperor questions, almost frantic to know. Saitama simply shakes his head.
"You stopped a bullet at that speed then sent it back with more force than it was shot at you. All while mid-air." Fubuki takes a few moments to process her own words. "What the hell? I said it out loud and it didn't even make sense." Fubuki questioned herself while shaking her head in disbelief.
Saitama shrugs. "I mean. Is it really that weird?"
A chorus of yeses come from the crowd.
"I'm not surprised to be honest. That seems pretty minimal to the other stuff." Mumen Rider adds on.
"I believe there is some relativity to this feat of strength. However there are a lot of holes." Genos states while running through various calculations.
Down below where the sword hero and the alien are fighting, the hero's breath runs dry as he grows tired.
"A militant creature. Also cautious."
"Hurry. Let us hurry and kill."
"That is good."
"Can it be killed?"
The monster's fist turns into a giant mallet before it sends an attack towards the sword user, completely taking off his arm in the process. "Each of its strikes is lethal! I can't beat this thing…"
"Is your disciple alright after such an injury?" Bang questions with concern.
"He's fine. I'm helping him get used to it. He won't be retiring early on my watch." Atomic Samurai responds with a grin.
"That is good to hear. It would be a shame for such a young man to end his journey so early." Bomb says while smiling almost somberly.
"Such a weak species."
"Easily killed."
"That is good." The creature begins to split, separating into 5 different beings.
"It's splitting? Damn, not now…"
"I will dispose of this. You handle the rest."
"Very well."
"I will go kill those that ran."
"That is good."
"I—"
Instantly, the 5 monsters are bisected with a singular brutal slash.
"Master!"
"Iaian, you okay? You know, your left arm…" Atomic Samurai questions with a slight look of concern.
"Wow. Cool moves, samurai man." Saitama throws a thumbs up toward Atomic Samurai who just grins.
"It's Atomic Samurai, but I guess I'll let it pass." The oddly content samurai responds.
"Master! Swords have no effect on this monster. Forget me! Retreat!" The now named Iairon exclaims in urgency.
The monster reforms and throws a punch toward the Atomic Samurai before getting cut into a million pieces. "Outta my way!"
"Iai! The path of the sword does not end for you yet! Stop bleeding!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Pretty hardcore no?" Mumen Rider mumbles in amazement at Atomic Samurai's ability to just command such a thing.
"That's the top of the A Class for you. They may not be S Class, but they are still strong." Fubuki mutters.
"If you just train with me you'll be out of B Class and straight into S Class. I don't know why you still deny my help." Tatsumaki hmphs, much to the chagrin of the Hellish Blizzard.
"I think you care too much about ranks to be honest. If you can help, then help where you can. There shouldn't be shame in being lower than another. That's what heroes are supposed to do after all. Ranks are just titles. I mean look at Mumen." Saitama states almost matter of factly while pointing over to the shocked Rider.
"M-Me?" Mumen Rider fumbles with his words.
"Master! Your wisdom is boundless!" Genos yells out admiringly.
"I just repeated what I said earlier, Genos." Saitama just sweat drops.
"There shouldn't be shame in being lower than another…?" Fubuki repeats the words in her mind. Not really knowing how to feel about it.
The Tornado's eyes narrow as she glances between Mumen and Saitama bickering before looking down at her open hands. "That's what heroes are supposed to do after all. Ranks are just titles, huh…"
Atomic Samurai looks behind him and realizes the alien still wasn't dead yet. It once again reforms, this time taking up a singular being with only 1 head containing 5 sets of eyes.
The alien chuckles. "So there is a life-form on this planet that can fight. Excellent! Try to withstand our invasion!"
"Planet, eh? You from outer space? And you got friends up in that floaty toy? Yeah, that's it. I doubt you alone have the power to do all this to the city." Atomic Samurai cockily states.
"Atomic Samurai, count us in." Bang steps up along with a certain bat wielding punk. "You the bastard that smashed this town?!"
"WOO! GET READY TO SEE ME IN ACTION!" Metal Bat stands up and places his foot on the back of the seat in front of him with his bat raised and spirit fired up.
"Please remove your appendage." Drive Knight replies.
"And if I am?" The monster grins.
"For all the beautiful men you killed… I claim vengeance!" Puri Puri Prisoner rushes to the monster and unveils his "form".
"Oh lord not again…" Everyone thinks to themselves.
Garou covers the oblivious Tareo's eyes.
"Each separate attack must be delivered with intent…"
"...to kill! Dark Angel Flash!" Puri Prisoner punches harshly into the alien, creating many holes in its body.
"Issue an evacuation warning to City A and all neighboring cities. Right now!" The bearded worker barks orders to his associates.
"And expand the System M vitals monitor to cover all of City A. We need an accurate count of the survivors."
"What's the threat level?" A random associate asks.
"Dragon, without doubt." The glasses worker responds.
"No… This might be Kami." The bearded worker states as the screen's imaging system shows the grand scale of the alien ship.
"You really thought we wouldn't be able to handle it?" Tatsumaki questions, feeling offended, almost angry that they doubted her capabilities.
"No no! It's just, the amount of destruction caused in such a short amount of time worried us!" The bearded worker replies.
"Along with Madame Shibabawa's prophecy. We thought it'd be necessary at the time." The glasses worker adds on.
Tatsumaki just rolls her eyes.
"Oh yeah, now that I think about it did you guys bring the ship down?" Saitama turns around to ask the heroes.
"That would be correct. Ms. Tatsumaki brought the ship down." Darkshine replies first, though he himself wasn't too sure now that Saitama was revealed to be on the ship.
"Yeah we saw her do a bunch of weirdo magic stuff." Metal Bat waves his hands around.
"I believe she threw many buildings as well." Puri Puri responds
"Yup." Tank Top Master dejectedly adds on while remembering his pitiful display of help.
"She also saved the heroes on the ground from that ship's projectile assault." Child Emperor adds on.
Fubuki looks over to her sister, fully expecting her to flaunt her victory over the aliens and degrade the others, but is surprised to find her seemingly quiet and thinking over something.
"Wow that's cool Tats. Good job." Saitama gives a thumbs up and small smile toward the short esper.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Of course it was me after all." Tatsumaki almost half heartedly says, much to the surprise of the rest of the theater.
"Master I'm fairly certain it was-" Genos starts, but stops abruptly.
"It was?" Saitama says as if to continue Genos' sentence.
Genos simply shakes his head. "Nevermind Sensei." Saitama just shrugs as he turns to watch the screen.
"Four Class S heroes can take care of the enemy on the ground… The problem is that. We can't reach it." Child Emperor states while gazing up at the giant spacecraft. "Any aircraft would be shot down in seconds."
"King, you're one of the top fighters in Class S. Give us your take." Darkshine turns around to ask King for a plan."
Genos turns around to look at King. "King, Class S rank 7. Said to be the strongest man on Earth, and I see he is well respected by the other heroes…"
"Wait! We totally forgot! King and Saitama should totally fight! The two strongest members of the S Class!" Metal Bat shouts in excitement.
"Oh shit." King begins sweating as his heart beats loudly.
"Yeah you're right! Look, the King engine is active! He must be ready to fight too." Child Emperor exclaims, equally as excited as Bad.
"SO COOL!" Tareo shouts in happiness.
"That would be pretty interesting to see. I could learn their weaknesses… if they have any." Garou ponders, but back tracks at the mere thought of those two and their weaknesses.
"I'm so dead." King sweats harder somehow.
"It would be beneficial to my analysis." Metal Knight adds on.
"Sounds cool. I'm in." Saitama says with a slightly more determined face.
"I wonder how strong King is. There are no references to his battle style or power except the words of others." Genos wonders to himself.
"Two overpowered beings going at each other." Fubuki mutters, wondering how such a battle would play out.
"You mean a slaughter! One overpowered being and a regular guy!" King shouts into his mind.
"I've never actually seen him fight before…" Tatsumaki says while looking curiously at King over to the left. He was as cold as ever, even more than her. His gaze could rival her beratings.
"Those two cannot fight. It will destroy whatever space I create. They are just that strong." The screen speaks up, saving King for a few more episodes.
"THANK YOU SCREEN-SAMA!" King lets out a short breath as his heart calms down.
"Aw poo!" Child Emperor pouts while Metal Bat just strikes the back of his chair in annoyance.
"I guess that makes sense. Those two are strong enough to rip apart the world." Zombie Man says while staring at the screen.
"Welp. That sucks." Saitama mumbles in a somber tone.
"King must be incredibly strong if the Screen is that worried." Genos mutters.
"Well there goes that. At least we can still see how fast you can go!" Mumen Rider tries to cheer his friend up.
"There's no way the baldy can run faster than I can fly." Tatsumaki states egotistically, having come back to her normal self after whatever happened before.
"There's nothing I can do." King responds, surprising the others slightly. "It's too high in the sky. There's no way to attack it. But the mysterious craft is currently dormant. We should use this opportunity to call in Metal Knight."
"What the—?! That's pathetic! Aren't you supposed to be the strongest man?"
"Hey, Tornado."
"– This city's been blown away,"
"– If you piss King off, he'll kill you."
King raises an eyebrow, not having remembered what Darkshine had said at the time due to how scared he was. "I wouldn't kill anyone for making me upset." King says in his usual King fashion, surprising Darkshine and the muscle heads along with the ninjas.
"Oh. Sorry King." Darkshine says, not really knowing how to respond.
"And you're just going to give them a free hand? Unbelievable!" Tatsumaki yells in annoyance and disbelief.
"Well forget it! I'll take care of this myself." The on screen Tornado gains the same goofy appearance as before. Child-like. King simply stares menacingly.
"OK you know what. Screen I'm coming after your cosmic annoying ass. You're dead meat!" Tatsumaki screeches, but gets no response.
"It's funny though. Don't be such a party pooper Tats." Saitama says, much to the annoyance of the Terrible Tornado.
"I don't care! I don't look like a child!" Tatsumaki yells in pure frustration.
"Well you sure act like one." Metal Bat mumbles quietly to which Child Emperor snickers and Zombie Man chuckles.
"Wait, I will go too. I do not know how effective I can be, but I will attack from the ground."
"Maybe you didn't hear me. I said forget about it!" Tatsumaki retorts venomously.
"Wow, ok. Maybe chill out a little, Tats?" Saitama reels back at how dangerously close to Tatsumaki was to killing Genos with her voice.
"Whatever! Control your stupid tin-can next time!" Tatsumaki retorts though quieter than previously.
"Sure sure. Genos just leave the green gremlin alone." Saitama waves his hand in dismissal.
"Hai Sensei!" Genos affirms.
"OI!" Tatsumaki yells out in annoyance.
Fubuki just sighs at the banter as Mumen tries to keep his chuckles to himself. Surprisingly, Tornado's psychic usage hadn't been very apparent for the past couple of episodes. Maybe the Screen was still limiting her?
Darkshine walks over to Genos in caution. "Take it easy, Genos. I understand how you feel, but if you piss her off, she'll kill you."
"Very well… There is no need to team up anyway. Master has already boarded the enemy ship. Whether this is the prophecy or not, there's not a single evil Master cannot defeat. If such an evil existed, then I assume the human race would have perished long ago." Genos surmises as the camera pans to show the dead bodies of many aliens left in Saitama's wake.
All of the eyes in the theater widened in surprise. Even with their previous knowledge they had no idea how many beings were on the ship so the sheer quantity shocked all of them. The numbers alone would have been troublesome though they didn't look too strong, they couldn't tell for sure due to Saitama dispatching all of them quickly.
"Holy shit." Metal Bat could only mutter as he watched the camera continue to show off the dead bodies.
"Well that would've been annoying." Zombie Man mutters while gazing in shock.
"Of course. Why am I even surprised!" Child Emperor just questions himself in almost deluded amusement.
"I never realized Master dealt with so many. Incredible." Genos watches in hidden awe of his Masters help in the alien adventure.
"Wow you did a number on them huh Baldy?" Tatsumaki questions rhetorically with a small grin.
"They were really annoying and they wouldn't tell me where their boss was." Saitama grumbles while dragging his hand across his face as he remembers the extremely boring event. Though the fight at the end was slightly exhilarating.
"All… by himself? He did it all alone?" Fubuki stutters out as she continues to watch.
"Did you defeat everything on that ship?" Mumen Rider stumbles his question out. He knew Saitama was strong, but this was just insane.
"Uh yeah. The boss was pretty cool, he actually survived a few of my punches." Saitama says out loud causing a silence to envelope the room.
"HE WHAT!?" A chorus of sounds erupted from the audience members at the idea that anything could survive a punch from the bald hero.
Saitama, who had covered his ears, was just waiting for everyone to calm down.
"Everyone be quiet. You will see who he is talking about in the next episode. Just be patient."
Everyone silences themselves though the ones closer to Saitama continue to ask their questions.
"What do you mean it survived one of your punches! Nothing ever survived your punches!" Fubuki questions in a quiet yell.
"Uh. You'll see later." Saitama says, much to the disappointment of his group.
"Master, was this enemy that you faced the reason there was a large energy reading at the top of the ship?" Genos questions with a hint of curiosity.
"Probably. He shot some kind of blast at me, but I just punched it so I think it worked out." Saitama replies.
The few close to him tried to put the image of Saitama punching a blast of energy with his fist but found it hard to conjure up such a picture.
"It doesn't matter! We'll see it later anyways. Let's just watch the show to figure it out." Tatsumaki says with a bit of impatience. It seemed that she too wanted to see this for herself.
A voice laughs, causing Saitama to stop for a moment and look up at the figure. "Well done making it this far, intruder! But this is the end. You see, there is no way you can defeat me, Groribas! My Acid Breath will melt you away!" The venus flytrap-like alien jumps and begins getting ready to attack before his head disappears.
"Wow, that was anticlimactic." King thinks to himself.
Saitama punches and kicks at the ship nonchalantly while causing heavy damage. "Isn't it about time the boss showed up? Well, if he's alive…"
Saitama continues to damage the ship as an unknown figure is shown sitting on a throne, staring unbothered by the shakes.
The screen cuts to black, indicating that the episode was over. A large silence follows as everyone doesn't really know what to say.
"That was definitely the boss." King mutters in his head as the image feels burned into his mind. Quite the scary being.
"Ok! So that's definitely the boss right?" Metal Bat questions out loud to everyone.
"100%. They literally ended it with the close up." Child Emperor responds.
A few people look to Saitama for confirmation.
"Huh? Oh yeah, that's him." Saitama responds.
"The room for testing is ready. Anyone who wants to go see Saitama break records can enter with him as you will all be safe. Everyone else can do whatever until the next episode. If you have questions just call out I will be there."
Mumen Rider pats Saitama on the shoulder. "Welp let's go see how strong you are, Saitama!" Mumen Rider gives a smile as Saitama gets up, also smiling slightly.
"Master, I will be sure to record all of your feats today and write them into the history books." Genos informs his Sensei with a small bit of excitement as Saitama just nods back with a funny expression.
"Don't hold back this time Baldy! I'm gonna take that as an excuse and I'll show you how fast I can fly!" Tatsumaki jeers in a friendly manner, though still very competitive with the bald hero as she floats nearby.
"I'm sure it will be interesting to watch." Fubuki states as she too gets up, though preferring to walk.
"Saitama! I challenge you to a speed contest!" Sonic yells out in indignation as he dashes up to him with a finger pointed..
"Sit back down Sonic. I will test Saitama's speed, you are far too slow." Flashy Flash responds, annoying the other ninja.
"We should have a lifting competition!" Darkshine says in an anticipating tone.
"I agree. Though I may not be able to beat Saitama, I would like to participate." Tank Top Master adds on.
"Oi Saitama. Try one of my swords, I want to see how you can cut with it." Atomic Samurai almost demands in a curious tone.
"Hey, do you think I could take some blood tests among a bunch of other things?" Child Emperor questions as his bag makes a bunch of noises.
"Perhaps you would like to try my martial art?" Bomb cunningly cuts in as Bang chuckles.
"These tests will be a blessing to watch. And I don't even need to send anyone after him this time." Genus laughs in a manically science evil way.
"He's at it again." Armored Gorilla mutters.
"He's always been this way to be fair." Mosquito Girl responds.
"This is so exciting!" Tareo yells out in pure joy.
"Yeah yeah. Can't wait to see how he obliterates literally everyone in these dumb competitions." Garou grins, ready to see the heroes crumble in their egos.
"Well, I don't know why you guys are so excited, but I guess we can do all that stuff." Saitama walks toward the room with a small smile painting his face as the rest follow after him. Not a single person stayed behind.
