Episode 17 - The Terrifying City - Part 2
Location: Hero Association HQ
No POV
After Y/n and Saitama have managed to stop Devil Mario and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic from causing more damage to the innocent people in the city as Y/n reported it to the Hero Association for the arrest of both Devil Mario and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.
Hero Association Worker: The two men have been apprehended in City Z by the Class C heroes Y/n and Saitama is suspected of being involved in several heinous crimes, including assassination.
Hero Association Worker #2: City Z again, huh? What's the status of the investigation I requested?
Hero Association Worker #3: The one for the ghost town?
Hero Association Worker #2: Yes.
Hero Association Worker #3: Let's see…(Pulls up a windows box that shows two heroes that already accept the request to investigate City Z) we've already submitted an official request to two professional heroes to investigate City Z. T
Then as the Hero Association workers continued working, they get a surprise visit from a certain top ranked esper hero that heard about the rumors about City Z.
Tatsumaki: Well now, doesn't that sound interesting. Want me to check it out?
The Hero Association worker was shocked to see Tatsumaki aka Terrible Tornado, the Class S Rank 2 Hero appear in the room that is interested in what's going on at City Z.
Hero Association Worker #2: (Shocked) Tornado? Where'd you come from?
Tatsumaki: Why? Aren't I allowed in here?
Hero Association Worker #2: Of course. But for City Z, the investigation is just a formality. It's not worth your time.
Tatsumaki: (Angry) What? You think I'm not good enough?
Then suddenly, she channeled her psychic energy from her anger that she is not worthy of taking the request after the Hero Association worker said that this kind of situation at City Z is not worth her time. Until another Hero Association Worker stopped her from letting her own anger destroy the entire office.
Hero Association Worker #3: Not at all. The Association decided that this was not a Class S matter.
Hero Association Worker #2: Yes, that's exactly right.
Tatsumaki: You'd better tell me if you find anything that looks like it can fight. It'd be so much faster if I just went myself. You're such an idiot. Also, I've been hearing rumors about some lame ass hero declined being a S ranked hero and only picked C Class after taking the exam. That's so stupid of him to become a low ranked hero! If I ever see that guy, I'm gonna show him who's the real heroes around here really are.
With that, she left the room with a fit of rage that she didn't get what she wanted to fight something that is strong as her before we cut over to somewhere in City Z to see a young man in a orange-dark red hoodie jacket, jeans and sneakers with a very depressed face as he is seen walking with a ghost of a very familiar cat with the same depressed expression on its face before seeing a bunch of dead bodies and spilled out insides of the monsters that tried to attack the young man that continued walking down the path.
Location: CITY A - HERO ASSOCIATION HQ
Then we cut over to the Hero Association HQ in City A, where the representatives of the Hero Association are discussing about the recent hero reports of each city location in the region from any information of recent monster attacks and criminal activities in each city.
Hero Association Representative #1: Reports have come in from each location being investigated. First is Watchdog Man, Class S hero, investigating City Q. "Nothing unusual."
Hero Association Representative #2: Nothing unusual?
Hero Association Representative #1: That's right.
Hero Association Representative #2: That's hard to believe. We all know City Q is a hot zone with more casualties and monsters than any other area under any jurisdiction.
Hero Association Representative #3: Well, sir, knowing him, I'm sure he's implying that, "Whatever occurs, I'll be able to take care of it." Though he has focused his efforts on City Q, his track record at monster elimination is top-notch.
Hero Association Representative #4: Class S heroes don't pay much attention to details. They're not cut out for writing reports.
Hero Association Representative #1: Next, City W. Class A hero Heavy Kong reports: "Nothing unusual." For City H, reports from Mushroom, Class B, and Horsebone, Class C: "Nothing unusual." For City D, Lightning Genji, Class A: "Nothing unusual after the devastation caused by the gigantic creature before the Class C Hero Y/n aka the Son of Godfield managed to defeat the giant and restored both Cities B and D from the monster's sustained extensive damage to both cities.
Hero Association Representative #5: The Association wouldn've taken a lot of heat for that if that kid didn't show up in time to deal with the threat.
Hero Association Representative #1: In order to prevent more such disasters, we must detect any covert activity that could threaten the community.
Hero Association Representative #6: Well, this investigation was requested for that express purpose. But early detection of monsters is proving difficult than expected.
Hero Association Representative #1: City F, Class A hero, "Snakebite" Snek reports: "Hammerhead, former leader of the Paradiser terrorist group, has been spotted in a suit and tie. Further investigation is being conducted." No other reports.
Hero Association Representative #2: What of City Z? I hear rumblings of a potential disaster brewing in the abandoned area there.
Hero Association Representative #7: No reports available. However, two highly capable Class A heroes have been sent to the area to investigate.
As the Hero Association Representatives continued discussing about the rumors about City Z, we cut over to the two heroes that are investigating the abandoned area for any monster sightings. They are known as Spring Mustachio, Class A, Rank 33 and Golden Ball, Class A, Rank 29, two professional heroes that accepted the request to investigate City Z for any sightings of monsters in the area.
Spring Mustache: Here we are in City Z. Shall we begin our little inquiry?
Golden Ball: Yeah, let's get on with it.
Spring Mustache: City Z is quite expansive,cbut further ahead lies the uninhabited area we were told about. Compared with other are City Z has an abnormally high rate of monster-related incidents. The frequency has been gradually increasing over the past 10 years, while the last few have seen
more and more highly advanced monsters appearing. The residents have entirely fled for the city center.
Golden Ball: I know all that. The place is a real ghost town, just with the water and electricity still intact, yeah?
Spring Mustache: On the lookout for a cheap house?
Golden Ball: Come off it. People say something real nasty's living 'round here. Even you must've heard.
Spring Mustache: But of course. I assume that's why we have been assigned this investigation.
Golden Ball: Once we hit the abandoned area, we better be ready to fight.
Spring Mustache: Indeed, we mustn't let our guard down.
Golden Ball: But, why here? Why the increase in monsters in this place?
Then as they passed through the gate to enter the abandoned
Spring Mustache: That's the mystery. Many theories have been advanced, but my own is this: A colony of monsters here is naturally producing more of them. Or perhaps a queen exists, birthing more of her kind. Of course I have no proof yet, but there is something to this ghost town…Or rather, something in it. Of that you can be sure.
Then as the two heroes continued to investigate City Z in the abandoned area, Genos suddenly sensed the triggered proximity alarmed
Genos: The proximity alarm? Somebody tripped it.
Golden Ball: If we can hunt down this mysterious being, we'll go straight to the top of the rankings.
Spring Mustache: That's true. We can't let Mr. Amai Mask remain first for-
Then as they continued discussing about the monster they're talking about and trying to get up higher in the ranks to outrank Amai Mask, they didn't see a certain monster walking by that soon got their attention.
Spring Mustache/Golden Ball: Something's there?!
Golden Ball: Was that a monster?
Spring Mustache: No way to be sure, but it's hard to imagine a human still living in these conditions. Let's pursue it!
Genos thought about going out there to deal with the problem, but decided to go back what he was doing by cleaning up the toilet's in his and Saitama's new apartment.
Genos: Seems they are not after us.
Then as Genos went back to work, the monster known as Konbu Infinity arrived at City Z after he heard the rumors about a very powerful monster that all humans and monsters feared about as he traveled to this part of City Z to challenge it in a battle to the death.
Konbu Infinity: Can this be the place I heard about? Sure don't seem like it. Aw man, I came all this way. Isn't anyone around?
Then Spring Mustache and Golden Ball managed to track down the monster that was lurking in the area as they are ready to take it down.
Spring Mustache: A monster. It popped up out of nowhere. Golden Ball, are you ready?
Golden Ball: Hell yes! (Aims his Golden Bullet Slingshot) Victory to the swift!
Konbu Infinity: (Turns to see the two heroes) Hey, people!
Golden Ball: I can blast through a 20mm steel plate Gold with one of my shape-memory golden bullets!
He then aimed the slingshot at the monster and released it for a devastating blow at the Konbu monster.
Golden Ball: Eat this!
After firing the golden bullet at the monster that transformed into a more deadly projectile, the Konbu Monster just flicked it away with it's Konbu tentacles like it's nothing.
Golden Ball: He flicked it away like nothing.
Then suddenly, Golden Ball got his leg caught by one of the Konbu monster's tentacles as he is being dragged around and slamming against the walls liked a ragdoll, causing him to cough up blood from the pain he endured from the Konbu monster.
Spring Mustache: Golden Ball!
Then Konbu Infinity used his tentacles to attack Spring Mustache, but he managed to jump out of the way before it could hit him as he brought out his handkerchief from his jacket pocket and the handkerchief transformed into a sword as his weapon of choice against the monster. Then Konbu Infinity unleashed a fury barrage attack of his own Konbu Tentacles, but Spring Mustache managed to parry his attacks his sword, proving that this hero is a master swordsman.
Konbu Infinity: Wow!
Then the sword he's using suddenly went back and formed into a spring as Spring Mustache is about to unleash one of his Killer Moves to use against the monster called...
Spring Mustache: Tomboy Thrust!
Upon thrusting his sword at the monster like a loaded spring, the monster managed to move out of the way before the sword could hit him, thus shocking the hero that the monster avoided his attack as he is a slippery type of monster hence the name Konbu Infinity.
Spring Mustache: (Thinking) It slipped past my Tomboy?
Despite avoiding the attack, the Konbu monster still got hurt from one of his tentacles as the monster is a bit impressed by the hero's efforts to defeat him in battle.
Konbu Infinity: Not bad.
Spring Mustache: (Thinking) Those tentacles…From the way they react, they're tough as steel. A monster that can use its infinite number of tentacles like steel whips! Such power! I must call in reinforcements from the Association.
Then the swordsman hero decided to ask the Konbu monster if he lives around these parts of City Z while he calls out the Hero Association through his phone hidden behind his back to call in for some backup to take care of the monster that managed to take down Golden Ball so easily.
Spring Mustache: May I ask if you were born in this neighborhood?
Konbu Infinity: Nah, I'm from out of town. I heard a bunch of crazy strong monsters were all getting together here. But I'm here to find this so called Son of Godfield to see how tough he really is. Rumor has it that there's been a few cults that worshipped him as some kind of benevolent God of some sort. However, for some reason, I feel like it was just some sort of a rumor though. But now, I feel like it'd be kinda fun to stick around and make the rumor true to meet this powerful monster. "The Son of Godfield"...Now that name's got a nice ring to it!
Then back at the Hero Association HQ, they just received an alert from Spring Mustache that he needs help in defeating the monster that took out Golden Ball and he is just too fast for him to attack agianst with his sword.
Hero Association Worker #1: We have a backup request from the heroes dispatched to City Z. Class A rank 29, Golden Ball, has been knocked out. Class A rank 33, Spring Mustachio, is in trouble. They're in the abandoned city.
Hero Association Worker #2: Call in all nearby heroes for immediate assistance! Class A and above!
Then we cut over to various another locations to see other heroes ranked Class A and Above in the area that got the alert from the Hero Association that Spring Mustache and Golden Ball are in trouble and are both in need of assistance to take down the monster that is a really tough opponent to beat.
Hero #1: See the monster alert for City Z?
Hero #2: The threat level seems to be Tiger or higher.
Hero #3: Is it the ghost town monster?
Hero #4: They're not sure yet.
Hero #5: I'll go...I want to catch the tiger by its tail.
Then as we return to the battle between Spring Mustache and Konbu Infinity, the swordsman hero is beaten up pretty badly after doing his best to take down the monster, but his sword was soon broken and shattered after such a long and exhausting battle.
Spring Mustache: Now I see...If it means running into monsters like this all the time. I wouldn't want to
live here either.
With that, Spring Mustache soon passed out and laid down unconscious on the street after he failed to vanquish the monster that is proven to be too tough to fight.
Konbu Infinity is not impressed by all of this after Spring Mustache passed out onto the pavement.
Konbu Infinity: Man, boring. This is boring me! I finally kick a hero's butt and I don't get even a single scream. Now that I think about it, even if I start living here, I'll never be famous if there's no people around or if there's even this Demi-Cat-God from another world. Guess I'll keep going if I want to find this so called Son of Godfield. Gotta find out where he lives.
Then as Konbu Infinity turned around to leave, he spotted someone walking down the path as he appears to be the same young man in the ornage and dark red attire and the depressed look on his face as he slowly walked down the path look down with a solemn look on his face.
Konbu Infinity: There's somebody. Another hero? Or a regular guy? I thought all the humans cleared out. If all those monsters were really around, there's no way he could live here…Wait a minute? Is this the so-called Son of Godfield, I heard so much about? He is nothing like the guy that can take on anyone that is strong as me. He just look so weak and pathetic.
Mysterious man in Orange and Dark Red: (Sheedding Tears of Sadness)
Konbu Infinity: I guess that means (Unleashed all of his Konbu Tentacles upon the man) it was just a rumor.
Then as the sad young man cried a river of tears, he suddenly transformed into a Gorefield Monster form that managed to slice through all of the Konbu tentacles into pieces before charging at Konbu Infinity in a fit of uncontrollable rage, thus greatly shocking the Konbu monster of what is about to happen to him that will meet his own demise.
Konbu Infinity: What the?! OH MY GO---
He was then sliced and diced by the Gorefield's razor sharp claws, killing him in less than 2 seconds, leaving him into a pile of freshly leftover Konbu that can be still used to make Konbu soup stock and the Gorefield monster from another universe knows who to give it to as an offering to a certain God.
Gorefield Monster: (Growls) Y/n.......
Then suddenly, back at the New World aka Y/n/Godfield's Universe, Nermal suddenly woken up during his meditation session, thus alarming a couple of guards dressed in cloaks that sensed Nermal's sudden shock of his latest encounter with the monster that completely traumatized him on that dark and stormy night until he met BF, Sans the Skeleton and Y/n, who posed as Sansfield and became the Brother of the Son of Godfield after conquering his more devious side of his personality.
Guard #1: Master Nermal! Are you alright?
Nermal: I'm fine...It's probably just my own imagination...nothing too serious.
Guard #2: Are you sure about that, Master Nermal? Do you need us to call in our lord to speak with you?
Nermal: No. It's all good. I will have a word with my brother later. In the meantime, I should probably get back to my meditation session.
Guard #1: Very well then, Master Nermal.
Guard #2: Let us know if you need anything.
Nermal: I let you know if I do.
With that, the two guards went back to their posts and Nermal went back to his meditation sessions as he couldn't believe that he actually sensed the same monster that he encountered before he met Boyfriend. In any case, he might as well make an appointment to meet up with his brother and father in City Z for a visit as we cut over to Y/n's apartment where he is cooking up some Konbu Soup for dinner tonight
Genos: Y/n, we saw a lot of konbu right outside your door.
Saitama: Yeah, did you buy this stuff for a really cheap price?
Y/n: Oh yeah. Wel for some reason. I was out to grab some ingredients to buy some soup stock until I found a crate full of fresh Konbu right beside my door and I figured we should have some Konbu Soup for dinner. I read a book about Konbu from the library in my universe that Konbu is good for hair growth, but since there is no real scientific proof, its real effects are yet to be confirmed. I bet you read something about Konbu as well Genos.
As Y/n fully explained about Konbu to both Saitama and Genos, much to Saitama's dismay about Konbu healing abilities to grow hair since he did lose all of his hair after he finished his training that costs his own hair in exchange for power to beat anyone with just one punch.
Genos: That is correct, I did some research on Konbu, so I am sure you'll learn about that as well, Master. For example, according to this site..
Saitama: No one said anything about hair!
Location: Hero Association HQ - CIty A
Back at the Hero Association HQ, the place managed to recieve the report for City Z as the Konbu monster was killed by another monster that has similar power levels to Y/n's level of God-like power as the Hero Association Representative started to explain about what happened to Spring Mustache and Golden Ball after that strange man in the orange and dark red attire managed to bring those two heroes to the nearest hospital after they're both battered and bruised during their battle with Konbu Infinity before going out into the night, not knowing to anyone reading this chapter will see this Gorefield/Human creature appear again in future chapters.
Hero Association Representative: City Z Investigative Report: "Nothing noteworthy about the downtown or residential areas. During our investigation, we encountered a ferocious monster in the abandoned area, but were unable to exterminate it. We escaped death, but the monster we encountered disappeared and as for the other monster that took us to the nearest hospital disappeared as well and it is possible that it still roams the area. Also, according to this monster, there's a rumor that…"
Then as the Hero Association Representative continued explaining the situation about City Z, we cut over to the Blizzard Bunch Group as the leader of the group, "Hellish Blizzard" was listening in on one of the members explaining about the situation about the monsters keep appearing in City Z as their own hideout along with the existence of various cults that worship the Son of Godfield as their true lord and savior that even some of the monsters in City Z joined the cult as well.
Blizzard Bunch Member: "…powerful monsters already exist in this area. Rumor has it that there has been reports of countless cults that worshipped the Son of Godfield as their true leader of both humans and monsters alike. There's even some reports that some of the monsters in City Z are also members of the cult as well. Sounds like it was pretty brutal.
Hellish Blizzard: A monster and some sort of Demi-Cat-God?
Blizzard Bunch Member: Yes.
Hellish Blizzard: I think I'll pass this time.
Back with Tatsumaki at the Hero Association, she came back after the reports of City Z was received and was mad as ever that she didn't even get to take down the monster that took down two Class A heroes to a bloody pulp.
Tatsumaki: (Angry) See? I told you I should have gone! You're so lame.
Hero Association Worker: Yes, but...faced with this, I'm sure even you would have had a tough time.
Tatsumaki: Hmph! I would have been fine, idiot!
Hero Association Representative: The rumor has not been confirmed, but the reinforcements saw signs that point to the existence of some horrible monstrosity.
As some heroes arrive at City Z to investigate, they were all shocked to see some damage to some of the buildings in the area that they believed to be a really strong monster or maybe a hero of some sort.
Hero #1: Holy crap, what happened here? What kind of monster could cause such violence? I'd hate to face off against this thing.
Hero #2: (Spots one of Y/n's angel wing feathers) Hey, what's this? (Inspects the feather) Is it a part of the monster Spring Mustachio fought?
Hero #3: There may have been a territorial dispute between the monsters...Seems like there's definitely "something" here. I mean, just look at that graffiti. (Points to the graffiti that reads: "GODFIELD IS COMING!")
Hero #4: (Reads) "Godfield is coming"? What does that even mean?
Hero #1: I'm not sure, but I think it might have something to do with the cults that worshipped this so-called Son of Godfield. We must continue our investigation and maintain vigilance over City Z.
Then as the day went by, rumors about the monsters living in City Z and the cult of Godfield began spreading all over every city location, spreading awareness of the monsters that kept showing up in City Z and how some people are willing to join the cult to worship Godfield and his son, knowing how powerful and benevolent Gods of the New World that have been protecting the innocent and vanquished the injustice of the multiverse.
Civilian #1: Hey, did you hear the news? There are monsters living in the City Z ghost town.
Civilian #2: Yeah, rumor has it the toughest ones are secretly plotting something. But did you also hear about this cult that worshipped this Demi-Cat-God that worked for the Hero Association?
Civilian #1: No way, really? I was given a flyer to join the cult to praise their new lord and savior that saved everyone around us multiple times. I've been thinking about joining the cult since he did saved my life after that giant monster nearly destroyed City B and City D.
Then we cut over to the forest with a river or swamp like area that also heard the rumors as well, which is obvious why some of the monsters are willing the join the cult as well instead of causing more chaos and destruction to the human race.
Monster #1: No, no. Not that rumor. It's about a more dangerous monster, who is actually a God from another world.
Monster #2: What's that?
Monster #3: You didn't hear? I hear the place has now become terrifying for both humans and monsters. In fact, some monsters even decided to join this cult of Godfield to make peace with the humans.
Monster #4: Really? Well, if this Son of Godfield is more powerful then the King of all Monsters that lived, then I guess we should join the cult as well.
Other Monsters: (Agreeing with each other)
Timeskip - The Next Day
As the next day rolled by, Y/n and Saitama's hero ranks went up after they apprehended both Devil Mario and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic as the Son of Godfield has some news from the servants at their universe that Nermal is coming over to visit after hearing that Y/n and Godfield got into the Hero Association as official heroes.
Y/n: Hey, guys. I got a letter from my servants from my world that my brother, Nermal is coming over to visit.
Saitama: Oh, that sounds great. Can't wait to meet him.
Genos: I will look forward to meet him as well. Also, your ranks has gone up from last place, 389th (Y/n) & 388th (Saitama), to 342nd (Saitama) and 341st.
Saitama: Oh? Because of that Panic guy and that Pizza Guy me and Y/n both fought? They boosted our rankings.
Y/n: So it's been a week now. As long as we keep doing some heroic jobs, we should be able to rise up to the ranks to upgrade to Class B.
Saitama: Sounds like a plan to me. (To Genos) Genos, have you done anything?
Genos: No, not yet.
Saitama: I guess it's only been a week.
Y/n: It's not that long.
Genos: I'm still ranked last in Class S for ability…in 17th place.
Saitama: Sounds like you've still got a lot of training to do, Genos.
Y/n: Yeah, I'm sure you'll eventually pass us in no time.
Genos: True, but in the public polls, for popularity I rank number six.
Y/n/Saitama: What?! Why?!
Genos: (Reads on his phone) "A genius who, at the tender age of 19, made his debut in Class S." "He'll do great." "He's so handsome." "Love how he refuses to do media interviews. Very cool."
Y/n: (Shocked, yet amazed) Those kinds of comments. It's just not possible to make it to Rank 6 in S Class.
Saitama: You're not embarrassed to read those out loud?
Genos: These comments are based on impressions from my photo, not evaluations of me. I think nothing of them.
Saitama: (Crestfallen) Oh yeah?
Y/n: T_T (Sarcastically) Of course.
Genos: (Continues reading the comments) They continue. "The Cyborg Prince." "Behind the steely exterior, I feel his fragile self." "Among the top five handsomest heroes."
Y/n/Saitama: Enough already!
Somewhere in another realm...
As we delve into an alternate universe that resembled a old-school platform video game as we see a demonic entity with four arms, wearing a red hat with two eyeballs, a red shirt, blue overalls, brown work shoes and have tentacles coming from his back as he is sitting down on his throne, drinking a glass of wine or the blood of his own victims as he got the message from his pet/servant skeleton turtle with wings named, John Dick that Devil Mario got locked up in prison after he tried getting revenge on the Demi-Cat-God named Y/n aka the Son of Godfield, who defeated him not once, but twice after claiming the Power Star before he could.
This actually interested the demon as he wants to know more about this Demi-Cat-God that took on one of his best men without even breaking a sweat and he plans to meet the Son of Godfield one day and make their first encounter very interesting.
???: So...Devil Mario was defeated by this so-called Son of Godfield, not once but twice and got locked up in jail? How very interesting...I'd never thought that a Demi-Cat-God like him could defeat one of my best men so easily. This boy interests me a whole lot and I must meet him in person. One day, we will meet each other...face-to-face...our first encounter will be very interesting once the time has come for us to meet in person.
MARIO WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME! (Laughing Evilly)
