Tatsumaki blinked when she noticed the alien ship was starting to descend at a rapid rate.

'It's crashing?' she thought before scowling. 'Guess I better wrap this fight-huh?' She blinked again when she turned to finish Geryuganshoop off, only to watch as the alien esper zoomed towards the ship before going through the hull and inside. 'Trying to stop it from going down? Well, whatever. I'll finish her off if she comes out alive.' With that, she turned and flew off to get out from under the ship as it continued to fall, taking a moment to look down at the other heroes and aliens on the ground running for the HA HQ, with Silverfang far ahead of them all.

"THE POWER SPHERE MUST'VE BEEN DESTROYED IN THE FIGHT!" one of the aliens yelled in a panic as they ran.

"Where do you think you aliens are going?!" Metal Bat roared.

"You think we're gonna stay here and get crushed?!" another alien yelped as they ran alongside the heroes towards safety.

"We'll deal with them after we get reach HQ! Just run for it!" Atomic Samurai yelled as he carried Iaian over his shoulder.

"ANGEL DASH!"

"DON'T RUN IN FRONT OF ME, PANSY! YOU'RE TOO SLOW!"

"ANGEL DASH!"

"JUST SHUT UP AND RUN!"

"Tch. Idiots." Tatsumaki grumbled as she flew. She knew that, despite being weaker than her, the Class-S heroes wouldn't get killed by a falling ship. As for the aliens? Who cares? They could get smashed and that would be it.

Sadly, for all the slower aliens, that truly was it. Less than half of the aliens on the ground had managed to outrun the falling ship, with the rest getting crushed to death on impact.

Everyone in Bomb's Dojo were gathered around the radio they had to listen to news of the aliens, their concern about the Beast Queen in their presence being pushed back at the moment.

"We've just received an update of the situation in City-A! The ship has been brought down and the creatures aboard have been captured!"

Hearing that caused half of the students to whoop and shout in joy while the other sagged in relief, an action that the Beast Queen lead as she fell on her back and just sighed.

"That's a relief." she said, a smile on her face. Her voice caused the others to remember that she was there before turning to their smiling master.

"Later. For now, let us enjoy a moment of peace." he ordered, which the students quietly obeyed.

"It would appear that the crisis has ended." Nichirin said with a smile as he and his own students listened to the radio that one of the students had brought with them.

"That's good." said a student before they all turned towards the Subterranean Queen. "But what about the monster?"

"This monster has come asking for training in the way of the sword." Nichirin answered. "And I believe that her intentions are pure, so no one is to expose her to the anyone outside of the school. Understood?"

The students were a little reluctant, but complied with their master, with some of them thinking one thing.

'Our master's so great that even monsters wish to learn from him? Amazing!'

Vaccine Woman was quietly tending to the garden to take her mind off the ongoing disaster that was being caused by the aliens. She knew that they would fall since they had all of Class-S and Saitama there. There's no way the aliens will win.

"...But will they be quick enough." she muttered to herself, remembering the news report saying that they appeared out of nowhere and destroyed City-A in the blink of an eye. She gently knelt onto the soft soil of the garden, her mind racing with questions. What if they take off and strike again from out of the heroes range? What if they start going to more cities and fire indiscriminately at everything before they can be brought down?

What if these aliens might actually be stronger than Saitama?!

SMACK!

Vaccine Woman growled as she shook her head after slapping herself. What was she thinking? As if anything could ever beat Saitama!

"What are you doing?"

Vaccine Woman jumped and turned to see Ki looking at her with a non-existent eyebrow raised.

"Um...nothing?" she answered before repeating Ki's question. "What are you doing?"

"Came to get you. Everyone's celebrating back at the apartment. They beat the aliens!" Ki stated with a grin before pulling her by the hand back towards the apartments. "C'mon! We gotta plan a celebration for Saitama and the others! Well, the ones that know about us anyway!"

"Alright, alright!" Vaccine Woman laughed as she was dragged by Ki before thinking.

'I wonder if Saitama will bring an alien home.'

Captain Mizuki cheered alongside the other heroes and civilians as they watched the news show the ship was down and the Class-S heroes dealing with the remaining aliens.

"They did it! They did it!" she cheered with a huge grin before a groan made her scowl at the 'Mizuki Muscle Worship' group lying on the ground near her. "Which means the world's not ending. So stay away from me!"

The Tank-Top Army were celebrating and busting out their best Tank-Tops as they got prepared to welcome their master back from the intense fight.

"TAKE THAT, YA FREAKIN' ALIENS!"

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH EARTH!"

"HOORAY FOR TANK-TOP MASTER AND THE CLASS-S HEROES!"

"We can see from the helicopter that the Class-S heroes are rounding up what look to be survivors of the alien vessel, who all look to be throwing their arms up in surrender." came the voice of the reporter over the radio sitting next to Newtina. The monster merely smiled before returning her attention to the items she'd acquired from her little trips throughout the Ghost Town.

"Alright." she muttered as she cracked her knuckles. "Let's see if I can get this shit functional."

A long figure stood atop one of many mounds of rubble that was City-A, his gaze at the devastation before him. He was dressed in sharp clothes, had blue hair, and piercing yellow eyes.

"How did City-A become like this?" Amai Mask, the Class-A Rank-1 Hero, asked himself. "All of Class-S was meeting here today." He looked to see a handful of the Class-S heroes and Class-A hero Iaian were gathered nearby, along with a few dozen creatures he assumed were the crew of the alien craft.

"Look, we're sorry!" one of the aliens pleaded. "We never wanted to come to your planet in the first place!"

"Then why have you come?" asked Puri-Puri Prisoner.

"We came here because it was the orders of Lady Bo-"

SL-SL-SL-SL-SLASH!

The gathered heroes blinked as they saw the mass of aliens before them get mercilessly reduced to a splattered pile of gore, courtesy of Amai Mask.

"Why are you conversing with these evil creatures?" he asked them all in a calm but deadly tone. "They should've been killed the moment they were found."

"We were interrogating them about why they were here, ya jackass." Metal Bat answered while glaring at Amai Mask. "Now I got a question for you. Where'd you pop up from anyway?"

"I was filming a TV drama in the next town over. I felt the tremors and decided to investigate, but all I found was City-A in ruins." answered the Idol Hero. "Tell me, what exactly did happen here?"

"These aliens on that big ass ship right there came out of nowhere." Metal Bat explained while pointing his bat at the downed ship. "They fired artillery and did all this, but we still took care of them."

"'Took care of them,' you say? Really?" Amai Mask repeated, his eyes twitching and turning blood red for a moment before going back to their usual yellow as he gestured to the ruins surrounding them. "This is what you all consider victory? What utter incompetence! I'm completely appalled at all of you!"

"Hey. You didn't even get here 'til just now, so get off your high horse." Metal Bat said with a grimace.

"Yes, it's true. I didn't make it here in time. But all of you did, correct?" he asked them before raising his voice. "And you didn't even save one brick!"

"We were having a meeting inside HQ. We felt the tremors and rushed out here, but it was already over." Atomic Samurai spoke next.

"And?" Amai Mask said before continuing. "So what? You think the media will just let it go if you say that?"

"Hey Handsome. Who's side are you on here? We worked as a team and did our best." PPP huffed in anger, wondering why he was so pissed at them all.

"I'm on the side of peace and justice. Having Class-S heroes as pathetic as all of you here is nothing but an insult. Anyone who's this weak should simply retire and let real heroes fight." he sneered while flipping his hair back and glaring at them all.

"HEY! Don't start crap with us, pretty boy!" Metal Bat warned as he got up in his face. "Who's gonna care 'bout a pop idol with his FACE UP HIS ASS?!"

"Do you know why I don't move up to Class-S?" the idol hero asked in a calm tone, completely unfazed with Metal Bat's threat. "It's quite simple. I remain Class-A Rank-1 to keep weak, good-for-nothing pissants like you from ever ranking up."

The veins in Metal Bat's face seemed to twitch wildly under his skin as Amai Mask spoke, looking about two seconds away from bursting in anger. His rage subsided for a moment when a capsule crash landed nearby, capturing everyone's attention. They watched as it opened, revealing one of Metal Knight's robots as it disconnected from the pod and began walking towards the ship.

"Good timing, Metal Knight! So you skip the meeting and decide now of all times to show up?" asked Amai Mask in annoyance. Metal Knight simply ignored him as his drone looked up at the downed spaceship.

"This is...magnificent!" came his voice from the drone.

"Metal Knight!"

The drone turned to look at Genos glaring down at him from atop some rubble.

"What are you doing here? The ship is already down!" he stated while remembering Drive Knight's warning.

'Metal Knight is actually your enemy.'

"Genos, right?" Bofoi asked through the robot.

"Do not tell me that you've come to acquire the alien ship. Do you intend to take it for your research in weaponry?"

"Exactly. Powerful weapons are a must if we are to maintain peace and order." explained the hero before his drone turned and continued toward the ship.

"Hmph. Even with the greatest weapons in the world, their utterly useless when put in the hands of heroes like these." Amai Mask scoffed.

"You are so fuckin' dead one of these days, so watch your ass 'til then!" Metal Bat growled, an aura of rage surrounding him.

"Heeey! I found some more alien survivors!" Darkshine yelled as he waved to them all from a good distance. Everyone began to move towards Darkshine, with Amai Mask in front. They came upon the last few aliens tied up in chains, talking amongst themselves.

"What do we do now?! Lady Boros is probably dead, and so are the lieutenants!"

"I don't know! Think they'll kill us?"

"Maybe we can beg for forgiveness. I mean, it was all that one dude's fault that we even shot at this place."

"Hold it!"

All the aliens turned to see Amai Mask standing before them, his eyes red and a murderous aura surrounding him, making them all recoil in fear. The only reason that he hadn't done so was because Bang was keeping a firm grip his wrist, stopping him from slaughtering them on the spot. He glared at him over his shoulder, silently asking why he wasn't allowed to conduct justice.

"The last group had surrendered and made no move to attack us. This time, we'll let the Hero Association decide what to do with these few." Bang said while giving Amai Mask a stern look that said he wouldn't stand by and let him kill these few aliens.

"Hmph." Amai Mask grunted as he pulled his hand away before glaring at the terrified prisoners. "Are there anymore of you still on that ship?"

"W-We don't know. More than half got k-killed by your vanguard, and a lot just got crushed by the ship." one stuttered out in fear.

"Vanguard? What vanguard?" Metal Bat asked in confusion. The aliens merely trembled in response, their gazes on the ground.

"Just one. Just a single one of you humans did so much damage to the ship!"

"More than half the crew were killed by them! They were absolutely unstoppable!"

"The thought of going up against something that horrifying makes me wanna throw up!"

The heroes all watched as the group of aliens began to devolve into a mass of terrified muttering, unable to look at them as they recalled the carnage that was inflicted upon their ship and crew mates.

While the aliens were being interrogated, Tatsumaki was glaring at the ship.

'I can't sense that thing's energy.' she thought as she tried to sense Geryuganshoop. 'Is it concealing itself, or did it die in the crash? If it got away, then finding it will be a big pain in the ass.'

She blinked when she heard crashing sounds coming from inside the ship, with each crash getting louder. Without warning, a hole ripped open on the hull of the ship, allowing Saitama to calmly walk out.

"Cool. Out for real." he said, confusing the petite esper floating above him.

"HEY! Where'd you come from?" she asked as she floated down towards him. "No way a Class-B like you would be in that ship!"

"Oh, hey. You're...who again?" he asked, unable to remember who Tatsumaki was.

Tatsumaki's eyes widened at his question, wondering if she had heard him right. Did he seriously mean that he had forgotten who she was? Or rather, how could he not know who she was at all? Wasn't he a hero as well? He should know who she was!

The more she thought about it, the more her rage began to build at everything before her. A Class-B baldy had not only crashed the Class-S meeting, but he was inside that ship?! She couldn't take it anymore!

"Listen here, you bald nitwit! I'm-"

"MASTER!"

Both heroes turned to see Genos jogging towards the two.

"Oh, hey Genos. We're done here." Saitama said to his disciple as the two began to walk off, talking about how the leader was the strongest opponent Saitama had faced so far and leaving Tornado alone, her mouth hanging open at their actions.

'They're ignoring me?!'

"So without you, Master, the prophecy of the Earth facing doom would have come to pass." Genos said.

"Nah. It's these prophecies. Can't trust any of them." Saitama responded.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Tatsumaki roared, stopping the two and gaining their attention. "I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE, BUT YOU WENT INTO THE SHIP ALONE?! YOU'RE JUST A CLASS-B! HOW DARE YOU BUTT IN LIKE THAT! I DIDN'T NEED YOU! I COULD'VE HANDLED IT MYSELF, BALDY! BALDY! OCTOPUS! PEBBLE!"

And on and on she went, spewing out any insult she could throw at Saitama, all of which were directed at the hero's head.

"Hey...Genos. Say something." Saitama whispered to his disciple, both wearing tired expressions.

"Right." Genos replied before shooting her a death glare and raising his arm up threateningly. "Look spoiled brat! Shut up and get lost, or pay the price!"

"Alright! Go Genos!" Saitama cheered before blinking when he saw Genos being flung away and smashing into a piece of rubble, his body bent in all sorts of wrong ways.

"Unforgivable! So I'm a brat, huh?! I'm older than you, metal jackass!" she snapped, her powers flaring as she cast her gaze over Saitama, who was gawking at Genos in panic and concern. 'Your turn, Class-B Baldy!'

"That's enough, Tornado." Bang said in a calm tone, gaining her attention. "Is this how a Class-S hero should behave?"

"Uh...hmph! Whatever!" she growled before her power died down and she flew off, leaving Bang to watch her and sigh.

"Why is Class-S full of so many hot-headed troublemakers?" he asked himself before walking off past Saitama and Genos, the former trying to help his disciple out of the rubble, only to keep pulling off parts by accident. 'I wonder how Midori would've fared against something like that alien with the glass marbles. Perhaps it's time to up her training.'

While Tatsumaki was yelling her head off, the aliens were all shivering and muttering something about a monster, hoping that it wouldn't come after them.

"A monster? Well, I'll admit she's a brat and destructively reckless with her abilities, but I wouldn't go that far." Atomic Samurai stated.

"Please, hide us! Don't let it near us!" one of the aliens begged, with others soon muttering for help as well.

"It's alive, so it means our leader's dead!"

"That kind of power...if it could kill our leader, then nothing can stand up to it!"

"Oh, I get it! Tornado must've killed their leader!" Darkshine surmised, thinking that the blue Octopus alien they saw her fighting was the leader.

"Well, let's get these bastards to HQ." Metal Bat grunted before thinking to himself. 'I gotta think of a way to apologize to Zenko for missing her piano recital.'

Sadly, his phone was going off, and the caller I.D. was his sister.

"Hello?! Yes?!" he answered before walking off to talk to his sister just as Amai Mask hung up his own phone.

"Let's get this over with. I need to get back to film the TV drama." said the Hero Superstar.

"Right. Here we go!" Darkshine nodded before lifting the rubble the alien captives were on over his head, carrying them all with them as they made their way to HQ. Tank-Top Master, however, stopped and walked over towards Bang and Saitama, who were trying to get Genos out of the rubble without breaking him into more pieces.

"You sure you're okay, Genos?" Saitama asked as he tried to put the cyborg's arm back on.

"Yes. A few minor repairs and I will be fully operational." Genos answered while struggling to turn his head.

"Alright then. While you're getting fixed, I'll see if they need help looking for survivors." Saitama said, earning a chuckle from Bang.

"Ah, to be young. If you still have energy after helping the survivors, perhaps you could spend some of it training at my dojo?" Bang joked.

"Nah. I'm good."

"I still refuse."

"I was kidding, this time." Bang said, muttering the last part just as TT Master joined them.

"Are you three alright?" he asked them while brushing the dust off his tank-top, earning nods from the three. "That's good. When you're all done with helping Genos, perhaps we can see what the Hero Association shall do with those prisoners?"

"Nah. I'm good. Besides, I was gonna look for survivors before heading home." Saitama answered before his stomach grumbled, earning a groan from the bald hero.

"That won't be necessary. A lot of Class-A heroes and Association Workers have already located survivors. They're being treated as we speak." Tank-Top Master informed them.

"Oh? Well that's good. Guess we'll go home then, Genos. I'm getting hungry." Saitama said, earning a "Yes Master." from Genos.

"There's a cafeteria at HQ. All heroes and staff members eat free." informed Bang. You could almost see Saitama's ears grow for a split-second at the mention of free food.

"I guess we could stop in and see what's happening at HQ." Saitama said with a smile.

-Meanwhile-

Geryuganshoop was looking down at the body of Boros, her body trembling as silent tears fell from her eyes. Behind her were two smaller aliens, one red alien with three eyes and three tiny horns atop his head and another that looked like some kind of furry animal, were standing behind Geryuganshoop, having been picked up by her on her way to find Boros. They said nothing as their heads hung low, mourning their leader in silence.

"It...It just can't be."

They both looked up to see Geryuganshoop, her body trembling even harder as she continued.

"Lady Boros has fought countless battles, single-handedly demolished armies, and made planet after planet bow to her will. And throughout it all, she hardly ever got a scratch throughout her reign. And yet a single human, a creature from this backwater planet in the middle of the armpit of the universe, has reduced her to this?!" She seemed to have lost all her steam as she floated to the ground, her tentacles everywhere as she slumped over. "It's just not fair."

"What should we do now?" asked the red alien. "I mean, the ship's in no condition to fly, and the others are all probably dead."

"What can we do?" the furry alien sighed. "Maybe we should just surrender. Beg for mercy?"

"...fools..."

The three of them looked around in confusion, wondering who had just spoken. The red alien stopped and his eyes widened in utter shock. The others followed his gaze before the furry alien's jaw dropped and Geryuganshoop looked ready to burst into tears again.

Boros, though still wrecked and gray in color, was sitting up. Her main eye slowly opened and gazed at them with a glazed look in it.

"L...Lady Boros?! Is it...are you?" Geryuganshoop muttered, wondering if she was imagining things.

"I am...somehow." she wheezed out, her voice sounding hoarse and her breathing ragged. "So...you're all...that's left?"

"W-Well, we don't know, but it's too dangerous to look for others. There are still humans nearby, and I don't think they're in a listening mood." the red alien explained.

"I see." Boros said before turning her eye towards Geryuganshoop. "Geryuganshoop...I don't have a lot of energy...so my body isn't regenerating as fast it usually would...I can't fight if we're caught...and I can tell that you're hurt too...So I'm giving an order I never thought I would...Get us out of here."

"Y-Yes, Lady Boros!" Geryuganshoop nodded before lifting them off the ground with her powers and flying off, making sure to not draw attention to themselves.

-Hero Association Headquarters Cafeteria-

Saitama, after giving his report as one of the heroes on the scene, was enjoying the free food while chatting with Bang, Genos, and Tank-Top Master. As they ate, the Class-S heroes that had stayed to fight were looking at Saitama, some having seen the Class-B hero walk out of the ship.

"Hey Metal Bat. Any idea who that guy is?" Darkshine asked while looking at Saitama.

"No clue. I saw him walk into the meeting with Genos, Silverfang, and Tank-Top Master." the bat swinging hero answered. "Thought he may have been a topic of discussion for a moment before we heard about Madama Shibabawa's prophecy."

"Maybe a new student of Silverfang?" Darkshine said aloud before standing up. "I'm gonna say hello." With that, he walked over towards the group, listening in on them talking.

"...tough one, huh? And what about all the other aliens?" he heard Tank-Top Master say.

"I don't really know. Almost all of them died before they could do anything. There was one with psychic powers, but they weren't that strong." Saitama answered.

"Hmm. Makes me wonder how you would fare against Tornado." Bang mused before noticing Darkshine approaching. "Ah. Hello Superalloy Darkshine."

"Hey Silverfang. Genos. Tank-Top Master." greeted the shiny hero before looking at Saitama. "Hate to interrupt your conversation, but who exactly are you?"

"Oh? My name's Saitama."

"Nice to meet you." Darkshine said, still being polite as he sat down at the table. "So, why was a Class-B hero at the Class-S meeting?"

"My apologies. We invited him to the meeting." Silverfang said in Saitama's defense. "And despite being in Class-B, his strength and great talents are well beyond anything I've seen."

"Really? Well he must be strong if he's getting props from you." Darkshine commented before looking at Saitama. "But I can't help but wonder why I haven't heard of him. If he's as strong as you say, why would he be up in Class-A?"

"Because the Hero Association made the unforgivable decision to place Master Saitama at the bottom of Class-C." Genos answered, much to Saitama's annoyance.

They all turned towards Metal Bat when he starting cackling, having overheard their conversation.

"Let me guess. That stupid written exam? Been there." he said with a grin.

"Who's that?" Saitama whispered to the others.

"That's Metal Bat. He's a Class-S hero as well." Tank-Top Master answered as the young hero walked over.

"Mind if I join ya? This guy sounds interesting." Metal Bat said before sitting at the table and talking with them, none of them noticing that a security camera hadn't panned away from the group in some time.

Amai Mask was amongst a group of executives inside a meeting room of the HA HQ, all of them quietly watching the security feed showing Saitama surrounded by various Class-S heroes.

"That hero is Class-B, right? Why exactly was he present during a Class-S meeting?" asked the idol hero.

"Silverfang and Genos invited him to attend. It seems that they're on good terms with that hero, despite the negative rumors surrounding him." an executive explained.

"He also came the same day as Genos to take the Hero Exam. And there's a rumor that Genos is Saitama's disciple, despite outranking him." another executive added.

"I see." Amai Mask said as he turned back to the monitor. He remembered seeing the bald hero when he went to talk to Genos shortly after he had taken the test, but didn't give him another thought since he was too preoccupied with greeting Genos. He saw the same man from a video showing him punching a hole through the Deep Sea Queen, which was enough to give the unknown hero his approval to move up to Class-B, despite the negative rumors about him. Now that same man was seen exiting the alien craft, his suit looking like it had seen better days.

"So you guys were in Class-C as well? Must've taken you forever to move up to Class-S." said Saitama.

"Actually, we were bumped up to Class-S because of our strength and abilities." Darkshine answered, much to Saitama's confusion.

"Class-S wasn't formed when the Hero Association was made. Only had Class C-A. After seeing us beat Demon level monsters on our own, they made Class-S and offered us a place in it." Metal Bat explained before gesturing to Bang with his bat. "Even Silverfang here was in Class-B before joining Class-S."

"Really?" Saitama said as he looked at the martial art hero, who nodded in confirmation. "Cool."

"Yeah. And if you work hard, the Association will notice and may offer you a position in Class-S like they did for us." Darkshine said with a smile.

"With his reputation as it is, I'm afraid that won't be happening anytime soon." Amai Mask muttered to himself. While Saitama may be strong, a sudden jump for someone with a reputation as a credit stealing fraud would cause the public to question the Hero Association.

"Well even if they don't offer, I'll just keep being a hero for fun." Saitama said, earning confused looks from Darkshine and Metal Bat.

"Hero for fun? What're you talking about?" Metal Bat asked.

"I'm curious as well." said an executive.

"I've only been doing this hero thing as a hobby. Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't even know the Hero Association existed." Saitama explained.

"WHAT?!" the two heroes yelled in shock.

"WHAT?!" the executives watching were just as flabbergasted to hear that.

"How in the world could anyone not have heard about the Hero Association?!" an executive cried out, with the other executives voicing their own disbelief. The only one who was silent was Amai Mask, though he looked just as shocked by this revelation.

"...Well...that was informative." said Sitch before clearing his throat to gain their attention. "Before we venture further into this one hero, I'd like for us to discuss the main topic of this meeting."

"Yes. The alien prisoners and what to do with them." Sekingar stated as he brought up live video feeds of the aliens in question, all of which were either cowering or begging for their lives.

"I still stand by my earlier proposal." Amai Mask said as he sent glares at the screens.

"Yes. To destroy them and be done with it." remarked another executive. "However, they all seem to state the same story about why they attacked over and over again."

"Indeed. And it all boils down to, according to the aliens, one moron wanting to impress their leader and got trigger happy when the ship's gunner's back was turned." Sitch read aloud from the interrogation log.

"Plus, killing them right off the bat could rob us of the opportunity to help our world."

"Indeed. Questioning them about the technology that was on their ship. Knowing Metal Knight, I doubt he'd be willing to share anything he discovers."

Amai Mask merely glared at them all, not liking the thought of letting anything he sees as evil live.

"Perhaps a compromise." an executive said with a smile. "We milk these creatures for anything useful they could provide for the Association before ridding ourselves of them."

"To which we'll let you personally handle it." one executive said towards Amai Mask.

"...I can live with that." said the idol hero before heading towards the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back. The TV drama is scheduled to air soon and everyone's waiting to finish filming." The executives watched as he left the room, some wondering how he managed to do it all.

-Later-

Saitama and Genos were quietly walking home, with Saitama ready for the day to over. He had been so excited when he discovered a moon rock worth a ton of cash had been stuck in his boot, only to spend the rest of the afternoon with Genos unsuccessfully trying to find it when he accidentally dropped it in a gravel pit.

"If you want, Master Saitama, I can simply pay extra rent worth the amount of the missing moon rock." Genos offered.

"Nah. It wouldn't be right to take it. It's just one of those unlucky things." Saitama sighed as they climbed the stairs to his apartment.

"Wait, Master Saitama." Genos suddenly said, stopping Saitama. "I am detecting multiple life signs inside your home."

"Dude!" Midori yelled as she stuck her head out of Saitama's home, an annoyed scowl on her face. "Why'd you ruin it?!"

"Ruin what?" Saitama asked. "And why are you in my apartment?"

"It's a long story. But we'll sum it up in one word." she sighed before leading Saitama into his dark home, a tendril of kombu flicking the lights on.

"SURPRISE!" cried out Mizuki and all the monsters that were small enough to fit into the apartment, a nice spread of home cooked food and hotpot sitting on the table.

"WELCOME BACK!" yelled the larger monsters as they came out from around the corner with smiles.

"Whoa! What's all this?" Saitama asked as he looked around in confusion.

"We saw the whole thing on TV! You and the Class-S heroes took down all the aliens!" Mizuki explained.

"So to reward you for stopping them from destroying the world, apart from City-A." Ki muttered the last part before speaking in a normal tone. "We went out, bought some food, and prepared a feast for you!"

"Hope you like it." Nori said with a hopeful smile.

"Wow. Thanks everyone." Saitama said with a small smile as he and Genos walked in. He was a little put off since his home was a little crowded, but he'd let it slide this time. The place was soon filled with talking and laughter as Saitama enjoyed his food, which he kindly shared with others. After all, he couldn't eat it all.

'I guess today was alright after all.'

A/N: And that's it for the aftermath. Hope you all enjoyed.
