__________________________________

Y/n and Stinger together had went out to search for the son of Narinki and to their disappointment they still couldn't find.

Y/n: I guess this area is marked off then-

Stinger: What's going on there?

Stinger looked down and pointed over to see a group of kids bulling a boy.

Y/n: Are one of them-

Stinger: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!

Stinger shouted as he jumped off the bridge and landed by the group of kids.

Bully Kid 1: S-Stinger!?! Look guys it's Stinger!!!

The group of bullies quickly surrounded Stinger and praised him.

Bully Kid 2: Are you looking for monsters?

Stinger: No, we are looking for a kid named Waganma?

Bully Kid 3: Waganma? No never heard of him

Stinger: I see, then you guys should head home just in vase monsters pop out.

Bully Kid 4: Okay, see ya Stinger!

The group waved at Stinger as they ran away except one kid.

Stinger: Are you okay?

Stinger bent down to the crying kid's height.

Tareo: Y-Yes...

Stinger: You should get home. It's really dangerous in these areas.

Tareo wiped his tears, bit they were side my cut short as someone shouted.

Garou: Hey! Leave the kid alone!

Y/n lazily looked to the left, but was quick to act as he saw the Hero Hinter, Garou.

Y/n: Hey it's you!!!

Garou noticed Y/n as he smiled.

Garou: Looks like we meet again hero...

Stinger: That's the hero hunter!

Tareo: Hero Hunter? No you guys are wrong, mister is not the hero-

Y/n: Hey kid get out of here right now.

Tareo: (mind) T-That's Ashura!!!!

Y/n: Did you hear-

Y/n was cut off as he felt killing intent directed towards him

Stinger: WATCH OUT!!!

Y/n quickly looked to his side and saw that Garou was already right in front of him.

Garou: I'll defeat you first!

Garou kicked Y/n to the side, but he was quick to react as he blocked it before the kick could touch his face.

Y/n was sent a few feet away as he noticed the back of his hand where blocked the kick was bruised.

Y/n: (mind) My body...is weaker than I though it'd be...

Stinger: Who would've thought the Hero hunter would pop out here of all places.

Stinger stood next to Y/n while giving a big smile.

Stinger: I'll be the main attack, while you back me up okay!

Y/n: (whisper) That...may be actually a good idea since I'm not in a good state right now

Garou: Two against one huh? Then I'll attack-

Saitama: There you are Dine and Dash!!!

Everyone was quiet as a certain baldy showed up.

Saitama: Oh it's you!

Saitama noticed Y/n as smiled.

Y/n: What are you doing here?

Saitama: This guy did a dine and dash. But since you're here I can leave it to you...

Y/n: I never thought someone would stoop so low as to do a dine and dash. You're so pathetic.

Saitama: R-R-Right...

Y/n: Hey where are you going?

Saitama: I-I'm going home

Saitama walks off as Garou was twitching.

Y/n: You're getting a bit red there Hero hunter...

Garou: Shut up!

Y/n: Why don't you make me...

Stinger: (whisper) Hey don't tick him off-

Garou: Oh I will...

Veins was pooping up from Garou's face and hands

Bug God: What a pleasant sight! Not just one Class A hero, but two!? We're very lucky indeed.

Royal Ripper: Who cares. I just want to Rio there heads from their bodies.

Two monster appeared behind Garou, both looking very intimidating.

Garou: You're...

Bug God: I'm really disappointed Garou. We were watching this whole time. And you call yourself a monster?

Y/n: That also goes for too. You don't look like much, just a big ass cockroach

Bug God: I'm going to kill you-

Royal Ripper: Calm down Bug God. I'll be the one to kill him...and that kid...

Y/n's eyes widen as he looked behind him.

Y/n: Hey! Didn't I tell you to go!

Tareo's legs were shaking as he cried.

Y/n: Hey Stinger, take that kid away from here.

Stinger: What? And leaving you-

Y/n: The kid's life is our top priority right now! I'll by time for you, send some heroes.

Stinger hesitated as he looked at the two monster who looked Luke they were enjoying this right now.

Stinger: Alright then!

Stinger handed Y/n his staff as he ran towards Takeo, licked him up and took off.

Royal Ripper: That was a stupid thing to do. You would be more challenging if there were more.

Y/n looked at the staff as spun it.

Y/n: (mind) Not bad at all...

Y/n stood in a stance as he gripped the staff and aimed the sharp point towards the monsters.

Y/n: Since you not actually with them what do you say we team up hero hunter?

Garou: Like I'd ever help a hero. From here on out it's every man for himself.

Y/n: Come on, we help each other to kill them then we can have our fun after it. What do you say?

Garou was looking at Y/n and back to the monsters.

Garou: That works fine with me...

Royal Ripper: I don't care if you don't want to become a monster, either way it works fine with me since I can kill you both.

Royal Ripper ran at an extreme speed towards Garou as Bug God followed behind.

Royal Ripper slashed at Garou as Bug God went on to punch Y/n and both of then deflected it.

Y/n began attack with the staff as he continued to stab at Bug God, but it's durability proved to me far out of reach for the weapon to even lay a scratch.

Y/n:...This weapon sucks-

Bug God followed again with punches as it was reaching towards Y/n.

Y/n:...Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Meteor

Y/n was fast to react and landed heavy blows which damaged the surface Bug God's skin.

Garou: Hey! That looks like...

Y/n: Watch out!

Garou was caught off guard as Royal Ripper's swords was just inches away from his face.

Garou:...!

Blood sprayed as Y/n's arm fell to the ground.

Royal Ripper laughed as he continued to slash at an insane speed.

But Garou defected them back to him as Royal Ripper jumped a few feet away.

Royal Ripper: What are you going to do Garou? Ashura only has one arm, he might hold you back. Why don't you let us finish him off, or better yet...You can prove you're a monster by killing him right now!

Y/n fell unconscious since he was losing blood at an insane speed.

Y/n: (mind) Damn, why can't by body keep up at least for just a...

His eyes felt heavier by the second as they were closed forcefully.

Royal Ripper: Now it's only you Garou
