You screamed and shot upright as a sharp ringing sound woke you up from your sleep. Your eyes shot toward the thing producing the noise and as soon as you did Saitama's fist crushed the alarm to pieces. You looked at him strangely but he seemed just as dazed as you were.

You sat quietly in your futon that was placed next to Saitama's, waiting for him to say something. When he didn't, you decided to speak up instead. "Uh.....what was up with that?"

"Oh sorry, it's my alarm. I forgot to turn it off last night," He said solemnly. He looked like he was still disappointed by something.

Before you could say anything else, a there was a loud boom outside followed by a voice. "Mwahahaha! We Subterraneans have claimed the earth!! All surface dwellers will die!!"

"What's that?" You questioned, getting up and going to the balcony to get a look.

Out on the street was a small swarm of earth-like creatures surrounding a taller body that swung around these glowing red swords in its hands. "I am the Subterranean King! Beware of your destruction!"

You heard a jingling sound from inside the apartment and turned to see Saitama buckling the belt of his yellow hero suit. "So what is it?"

"It looks like someone trying to take over the world," You scrunched your nose at the weird-looking king.

"I got this," Saitama assured as he jumped over the railing.

"Surface dwellers, prepare yourselves for—" Then Saitama's foot sailed down on top of the Subterranean King's head, knocking him out. He turned to the other scruffy creatures who were dumbfounded. "I will protect the earth! So bring it on!!" Saitama challenged, holding up his fists.

The subterranean critters eeped in alarm and quickly dug back into the ground. One of them reached back up to stick a pole that held a waving white banner that read 'Sorry about that'.

Saitama blinked. "Eh?"

"It looks like they gave up," You called out from the balcony.

Later that Day

"Saitama, let me help you with something," You said as you watched him water his small cactus.

"Help? With what?"

"I don't know, do you need anything from the store or want me to run an errand or something?" You spouted ideas. "I feel bad for taking up residence in your home without so much as a penny of payment."

"It's fine really, I'm glad to help," He said.

"Come on, there's got be something I can do...."

"Well..." Saitama scratched his cheek, pondering a chore to give you. "I'm running low on toothpaste, and I saw it on sale at this one store....."

"Great! Where's it at?" You exclaimed excitedly. Saitama wrote down the brand the location of the store on a piece of paper and handed it to you. He also gave you the required money. "Thank you! I won't let you down!" You grinned as you ran out of the apartment. He sighed, a small smile forming on his lips.

"We interrupt this program for some breaking news," The TV droned. "A large swarm of mosquitoes have been sighted in City Z. Mummified remains of attacked livestock have also been found. If you encounter a swarm of mosquitoes, flee immediately."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You strut down the silent street whistling a random tune. As you did, you noticed that the streets were completely empty and it was kinda creeping you out. You glanced down at the store address once again to make sure you were going in the right direction. Everything was so utterly quiet that the female announcing voice nearly scared you half to death.

"This is an emergency evacuation warning. Threat level: Demon. No resident is to go outside under any circumstances. I repeat, no City Z resident is to go outside."

"You've got to be shitting me!" You cried out, but then shrugged. "Oh well, I'm already out. It's too late." And so you continued on with your walk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The massive outbreak of mosquitoes this year is spreading confusion," The reporter on the news said. "And we ask ourselves, what is the cause of this suddenness? With us today is Mr. Kafetch, a mosquito expert who has written several books on the subject."

"Thank you for having me," Replied the author. "Well, it is my conclusion that the mosquitoes this year belong to an entirely new species. Therefore, I know nothing about them."

"Get out!"

Saitama stared at the TV in confusion. "What... so there's a massive outbreak? Aw man...."

The news anchor cleared his throat. "Anyway, contact with these swarms means certain death. All citizens of City Z are advised to stay indoors." The man put a hand to his ear. "It seems that we have footage of the swarm."

The camera panned over to the large cloud of mosquitoes flying in unison. "It's like a wind borne sand storm!" Yelled the reporter at the scene.

"That's here? I better close the window...." Saitama felt his skin chill as he stopped half way to it. "Wait......I just sent (y/n) outside.....FUUUUUCK!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were almost near the store when a lump in the distance made you quirk an eyebrow. You walked farther down the sidewalk and went wide eyed when you saw what the lump was.

It was the corpse of a human.

You dropped to your knees and stared in horror and the ghastly sight of the mummified cadaver. "What the hell is going on?" You wondered aloud.

All of a sudden you felt the hair on the back of your neck stand on end and on pure instinct rolled away from the incoming threat that had just swooped down on you. Your eyes shot up to the sky to see the body of a female insect cloaked around an enormous army of mosquitoes.

"Come on guys, you can do better than that," The girl sighed. "I want all the blood you can find."

"Are you the one controlling these pests?" You called out.

She glanced down at you without a care. "See? You missed one."

Without warning, the swarm zoomed down at you. Once they had surrounded you, you let out a giant burst of fire erupt from your hands. The insects instantly shriveled up to ashes.

Your use of elemental magic derived from elemental manipulation, a very difficult telekinetic technique. You didn't use it often because it exhausted your strength and you weren't very proficient in handling it just yet.

The tight skinned girl looked down at you curiously. "How did you—" Then she gasped. "Wait.....I know you.... You're that girl everybody's looking for... (y/n) (l/n), right?"

Your blood ran cold in your veins as she laughed at your expression. "Haha I'm right, aren't I? Oh Dr. Genus will be extremely happy to hear this," Mosquito Girl giggled. "I'm going to have to take you back with me. It will benefit us both greatly if you come quietly."

"Screw you! I'm not going anywhere!" You barked.

She chuckled darkly. "You know, I heard you tire easily, are you sure you can even defend yourself against me?"

You undid the buckle of your belt and snapped the leather out of the loops. "You must not know a lot about me if you think I can't handle myself without my powers," You grinned confidently. "I'll show you just how much knowledge you're lacking."

She smirked. "This will be interesting." She made to fly towards you when she suddenly stopped and looked around in bewilderment. "W-what was that? Several of my mosquitoes just died....and they were so close by..." You heard her murmur to herself.

You looked at her questioningly right as you heard footsteps behind you. You turned to see who it was but the blur of mosquitoes hid them from your view.

"Target acquired," The person raised their hand towards the air and shot out blast of flames that Mosquito Girl easily avoided. She glared at him as if he were a disgusting cockroach.

"You make the mosquitoes suck the blood and take it all for yourself. Supposing you control them via some sort of signal, that would explain their mysterious grouping behavior," The voice you identified as male said. "If I eliminate their master, will this unsightly swarm disperse?"

Mosquito girl laughed haughtily. "You'll have to excuse me while I have my next meal," She told you. "Go drain him dry, my lovelies."

Your eyes went wide in panic as you ran to save the person. "NO!"

You watched as the storms of insects dove for the man in a single motion. "Incinerate." You reached out to slip into the tornado but were flung back by a great burning force. You fell harshly on your side, scraping all of your left arm. You also found that most of your clothes had been singed off and you were only wearing the tattered ends of your clothes. The only good thing was that most of your underwear survived.

You sat up to catch a glimpse of what happened. But the only thing you saw was a blond man with dark eyes and metallic arms in the middle of the clear street. "I am about to exterminate you, so stay still," The man declared firmly.

Mosquito girl's shocked expression twisted into one of diabolic content. "You? Exterminate me?" She giggled dangerously. "I'd like to see you try!"

"Don't worry," You grit your teeth as your skin began to seal up. You slowly got up from the floor and scowled at her. "If anyone's gonna kill you, it'll be me."

Things are getting heated..... Can't wait to write more :) Unfortunately, I may not be able to update due to me going on a trip so I'll try my best to get one out then.
