"That King! Can't he go easy on me?!"

Today is Saturday and bargain sales are already over.

Saitama and Genos came out of the supermarket with rumpled clothes and satisfied faces while carrying the groceries they earned from fighting their way to get the 50% discount expensive meat during the hectic bargain sale from a murderous, middle aged woman. Both of them at least get a hold of four sets of meat and Genos happily offered to cook yakiniku tonight. But despite the successful torturous grocery shopping, the bald hero's annoyance returned when he suddenly remembered his fight between King.

"I mean, I'm still a beginner! Total beginner! I never played that damn game before! And yet he's doing that annoying combo… Dammit. I'm already using that super-strong red head character with purple flame, while he use that weak purple esper haired girl… I'm totally sure I could win easily! Like I could burn that girl down. But no! nooo! He need to use a trashy combo! Maybe I will use more big muscle character next time we fight. Let's see if I could win." Genos simply listened to his master's complaints and did not say anything. He knew if it's a real fight between the two strongest heroes, his master, without doubt, will win. Genos smirked proudly at the thought of his Master beating King one on one.

An unexpected earthquake stopped Saitama's tantrum. The whole city is shaking and millions of screams could be heard from the distance. Everyone around them started to run, screaming as they scrambled on the street. Genos immediately started searching where the earthquake came from.

"Sensei! I detected monsters from north and from south!" Genos informed Saitama, his eyes glowing while still analyzing the source of problem.

Saitama blinked and grinned lamely, his annoyance gone from the mention of monsters.

"Yosh, Genos! You go south! I'm heading north!" Saitama ordered excitedly.

Genos nodded his head and warded off to south while Saitama run swiftly to north, both leaving scattered dust behind.

As Saitama arrived on the scene, he saw a familiar tiny, white figure floating on the distance. Saitama easily recognized that unusual short, curly green hair because no one, he thought, will sport that kind of haircut.

'So Fubuki's sister is here.'

Just about a week ago, they had this so-called fight and this brat, much to his displeasure, sent him beneath the ground. He could dig back with no problem but it's still troublesome specially when you're sent meters away from the ground. Still, he was slightly impressed she could do that kind of feat despite her serious injuries. And before he could even return from the pits of hell (or ground) she was sent back again to the hospital.

"Hey midget! Aren't you—" Before Saitama could even finish his word, he felt a small twinge of vibrate all over his muscle. Tatsumaki, already aware of his presence, directed her technique to the bald hero, making his muscles twicth non-stop like before.

"Stop calling me midget, stupid Baldy! Don't you dare interfere!" The esper shouted adamantly, leaving the Class A hero trapped in her power.

Saitama could feel his brow twitch at the word he doesn't even want to hear today. The midget called him Baldy. The nerve of that brat.

With his body still twitching, he nonchalantly walk to where Tatsumaki fled off. The esper's power does not have an effect on his motor skills but his body feels itchy and it slowly annoys the hell out of him. He was relieved that he left the eggs to Genos or else, they're all broken right now with all the vibration his body is unvoluntarily doing.

A monster with an image of a bull and a wolf growled and let out a fierce long howl through its sharp teeth. The monster is reported to be a demon level with the catastrophe it caused to the city.

Tatsumaki's eyes are bored as always, unfazed by some little mewl the feeble monster did and proceeded to directly throw remnants of fallen buildings to it.

The monster snarled, but it seemed unhurt. Tatsumaki started drawing her hand on the top of her head and lifted a huge tower from the ground behind her using her psychic powers. With enough concentration, she hurled the tower straight to the monster with high-speed.

It fully hit the monster.

"Hmph! Easy peasy!"

Tatsumaki was about to leave and congratulate herself for another job well done but the monster, much to her utter dismay, started to get back on its feet.

The esper sighed and brought her power out in full force, making her body glow a beautiful shade of bright green. Tatsumaki hummed in amused glee, watching as the monster's face turned bloody red, presumably ticked off by her previous attack.

She bombarded the monster with large rocks in full speed and it accurately hit the monster. Tatsumaki clicked her tongue in annoyance when the monster is unaffected with her attacks. She wanted to finish this fight immediately, aware of her current predicament and limit with her body. She has to admit, her body is not fully healed and is not supposed to be stressed. But she can't stay in bed doing nothing and being weak.

"H-h-h-h-h-eeey-y-y, m-m-m-m-i-i-d-d-g-e-e-e-t," Saitama horrendously stutter as he sauntered awkwardly towards the esper. Cape Baldy is still twitching madly and Tatsumaki chose to ignore the Class A hero.

The monster howled once again then jumped, landing at the solid ground with abnormal strength causing a light shockwave that did not bother the two heroes at all.

Saitama eyed the monster with disappointment, he expected too much from this monster.

"Why are you still here, Baldy?!" Tatsumaki shouted, infuriated that Saitama is still present. She formed a barrier around her body when the monster pointed its horns to her direction, its feet and furry arms poised to charge towards her.

"I-I a-a-am h-here t-t-to k-k-kill t-t-the mons-s-s-t-t-er!"

"I don't need your help, light bulb! Go aw—"

"Mama?"

Both Saitama and Tatsumaki snapped their head to where the voice came from. An innocent, little boy was wobbly walking to the center of the battle ground, completely unaware of the presence of bull/wolf monster on his right.

"Mama, where are you?"

Tatsumaki gaped at the small brat walking aimlessly on the wrecked ground. Is that brat stupid? Where is his mother? Why the hell mothers always forgets their child everytime this kind of pressing situation comes?! Does she want her child to die in a bloody manner or something?! This is insane!

The bull/wolf monster, noticing the boy, decided to target the child. The monster exhaled loudly from its nose, air puffing out from it and with a malicious grin, it charged forward, it's sharp horns aimed to kill the child.

Tatsumaki quickly removed her barrier in a heartbeat and placed it to the shaking child. She enhanced the barrier in full power to the boy who seemed awed at the big bull sudden appearance. Her body suddenly jolt in pain and weary as she keep the barrier powerful enough to also elevate the boy from the bull/wolf's direction.

She weaved her arms sideward just in time to evade the monster attack but she did not expect her body to reach its limit so quickly and especially in a wrong timing.

Her head throbbed agonizingly, her eyesight is getting blurry and her stomach wrenched in total pain. She lose her grip on her power and unconsciously let go of the child.

'T-The child!' She lifted a shaking hand to catch the screaming kid midair but her efforts were futile when she felt her head throbbed more in pain causing her to cough blood.

'Damn it. I am so weak.'

She covered her mouth with her hand as she cough more blood. Her breathing is shallow and her lungs burned so much that it's so hard to breath. It seems like her injury isn't as recupirated as she predicted.

She really hates it when she cannot control her body.

"Seriously, Tatsumaki. You should be in bed, resting."

She lifted her head upon hearing her name and relief pooled on her body when she saw the kid sleeping on Saitama's arms. The kid must have fainted, she presumed.

"You should not push yourself too much, y'know," Saitama said as he gazed at Tatsumaki's tired features.

The esper glared at Cape Baldy and her body glowed once more, her forefinger pointed at him.

"Mind your own business, Saitama! I told you, don't you dare interfere with my fight!"

Bits and pieces of rocks floated around her as she glowered heatedly on Saitama. Just seeing this man is also making her realize that he is stronger than her, that her powers has no effect on him and that she's weak.

'I am not weak.'

Wrath clouded her muddled mind, remembering how Saitama easily overpowered her. She cannot simply accept the fact that all her efforts was burned down by this man.

'I can't afford to be weak.'

'My sister needs me.'

Suddenly, green light covered the monster's body and without warning, it was knocked down heavily to the ground causing another shock of earthquake to happen. Tatsumaki disregard the pain forming on the peak of her stomach as she extended her arms from both side of her body, lifting the heaving monster from the earth. Tatsumaki clenched both her hands and the monster's body twisted in a sickly manner, its flesh and bones tearing apart resulting the insides and blood to splutter everywhere on the wrecked city. Having enough of it, the esper clapped her hands and the body exploded into millions of pieces.

Saitama covered the child with his body, not wanting the kid to be covered with blood and organs. He stood up, still carrying the child and watched the flying S-class passively as she breathed heavily with a frown on his face.

Tatsumaki hungirly gasped for air, her wounds are opened again on her ribs, her hands are shaking uncontrollably and her head is intensely pounding as if she was smashed by a hammer leaving her like an image of a red bloody doll. Her hospital clothes are tainted bloody red and she honestly do not care what she looks right now nor that the blood staining her clothes was hers.

She squinted her eyes down to where Saitama is and she saw him patting the head of the now awaken child.

'They're both fine.'

Her eyes feel awfully heavy and before she knew it, that was the last thing she saw and everything turned black.

Saitama swiftly caught the esper in his arms and shook his head at her recklessness.

"You did well, Tatsumaki."

"Sensei!"

Genos finally reached his master's battle area and was not disappointed when the fight here is over. He immediately spotted his master's form and run towards where he is standing. Reaching his master with his back facing the cyborg, he gladly informed him that their groceries were not destroyed and that he exterminated the monster without difficulty. He continued to notify his master of his fights but stopped when he sensed the unusual silence of his master.

"Sensei?" Genos called worriedly as he come neared his master.

"Its her."

Genos noticed the esper brat on his master's arms.

"Its her… She defeated the monster."

Genos eyes widened at Tatsumaki's bleeding form but what intrigued him more is the emptiness and sorrow on his master word that he never heard before.
