2,929Saitama sighed as he walked past the gate into the City-Z Ghost Town.
"What's wrong, Master?" Captain Mizuki asked.
"I know why you and Tank-Top Girl are following me back home..." he began before looking over his shoulder at Twin Tail and Shadow Ring also following. "But why are you two coming along as well?"
"Because a shower would be wonderful after being in Scaledon's stomach." Shadow Ring answered as she removed her hood, her pigtails sticking to her head from the various gunk still in them.
"They offered us a shower at the City-Z branch. Why didn't you accept that?" Saitama asked.
"We also wish to talk to the other monsters. See how things truly are here." Twin Tail answered before grimacing.
"What's wrong?" Tank-Top Girl asked.
"We're being followed by one of the other heroes...and they're not in on the secret." the blindfolded hero answered.
"What?! Oh crap!" Tank-Top Girl yelped.
"Can you tell who it is?" Shadow Ring asked.
"Yes. Quickly, this way!" she said before picking up speed as she rounded a corner, the other heroes soon following her. A moment later, a lone figure quietly followed after them. They came up to the corner the others all ran by, then found themselves grabbed and surrounded by the other heroes.
"Hello, Pink Hornet." Twin Tail calmly greeted as she held the other hero by her shirt.
"H-Hey! Let go of me!" Pink Hornet yelled as she tried to get away.
"Not until you tell us why you're following us like some kind of stalker!" Tank-Top Girl said with a scowl.
"I was curious...about him!" Pink Hornet declared while pointing at Saitama.
"Me? Why?" Saitama asked. "I'm just an ordinary guy who's a hero for fun."
"Nothing ordinary about that strength of yours." Pink Hornet huffed before looking at the other four women. "And a man with a face like yours having all these other women fawning all over you? That doesn't make any sense!"
"Hey! That's rude!" Saitama said with a frown. "There's nothing wrong with me face!"
"It's so...plain! And yet it has these four following you around like you're Amai Mask!" Pink Hornet stated.
"Captain Mizuki is Saitama's disciple. As for the rest of us, we're heading over for different reasons. One of which is a shower. We're just on good terms with Saitama, is all." Twin Tail answered.
"And before you say anything about him trying to steal any credit from us in the future, know that it's a complete lie." Tank-Top Girl stated.
"But everyone heard him confess that he took the credit for killing the Deep Sea Queen!" Pink Hornet countered.
"I only did that because some guy was badmouthing the heroes that lost." Saitama spoke up. "Even if they didn't win and got their asses kicked, they still fought hard and kept the Deep Sea Queen from attacking the citizens. If they had just hid, how many citizens would've been hurt or killed by the Deep Sea Queen and her army that day?"
Pink Hornet's eyes widened at that. She had heard the news of how the Deep Sea Queen alone beat the shit out of the other heroes that day, two of which were in Class-S. And after seeing Saitama's strength against a monster of Scaledon's size and power, she was inclined to believe it.
"W-Well...maybe. But if you're the real deal, then why are you in the lower ranks?" she asked.
"I aced the physical, but flopped on the written exam. So, they put me at the bottom of Class-C." Saitama answered.
"If you had that kind of strength, I doubt the Hero Association would-"
"The same Hero Association who gave my master the silly hero name of 'Caped Baldy?'" Captain Mizuki interrupted. Pink Hornet just stared before slowly closing her mouth.
"If that's all you wanted to know, you can-
"Oh? Hey, Saitama!"
Everyone looked before paling at the sight of Raptora approaching them.
"S-Shit! I got distracted!" Twin Tail cursed under her breath as Raptora kept walking towards them.
"You ran out of snacks, so I got some from my personal stash and..." the monster trailed off as she noticed a new face amongst the group. Judging by the shocked looked on Pink Hornet's face, along with the worried looks the other heroes were showing, Raptora quickly came to a single conclusion.
"I just fucked us over, didn't I?"
Calyx and Scaledon, having followed the directions given to the cat alien woman, had found the entrance and were making their way down one of the many tunnels into the Monster Association.
"I wonder how many are down here." Scaledon said as she made sure not to hit her head on anything hanging low.
"I don't know. I don't even know if I'd be allowed down here. I'm not exactly a monster. I'm an alien." Calyx stated.
"Maybe they'll look past it? If you want to kill humans, then I bet you'd be welcome down here." Scaledon said with a smile.
"The only humans I want dead are the ones who tormented and tortured me. 'Hero Association' my ass!" Calyx growled before she stopped.
"Something wrong?" Scaledon asked when she noticed the cat woman stop walking.
"I...may be speaking too soon." she said.
"What are you talking about?" Scaledon asked.
"It was while you were unconscious. Some of the heroes were glad to hit me and throw me back into a cage, but...some actually treated me with decency." Calyx admitted.
"Oh yeah? Like who?" Scaledon said with a bored look.
"Well, there was that woman with the pig tails...and that bald human, Saitama, stopped the other human from stomping on my head." Calyx answered.
"Saitama? Bald? Wait, you mean the one I ate that hit me from the inside?!" Scaledon asked.
"Yeah." Calyx said with a nod before she perked up, the sound of multiple footfalls and other such noises hitting her ears. "We've got company."
Scaledon looked to see a variety of monsters in all shapes and sizes approaching the two, setting the two on edge.
"Hehehe! Relax. We're not here to harm you. At least as long as you don't try anything funny." a monster that looked like a living fire hydrant chuckled.
"Looking to join the Monster Association, huh?" a monster that looked like a sandwich with eyeballs asked. "Well, if you want to kill humans, you've come to the right place!"
"The boss will want to meet you. But first, let's get you two to the infirmary. Hey, Abysstalon! Take them there!" a hockey mask wearing monster ordered.
"Alright. If you'll follow me, we'll get you two some food and have those injuries checked." Abysstalon said before she turned and started walking. "This way!"
The monster and alien looked at each other before they followed the little goat girl monster through the tunnel.
"So, how'd you two come to be?" Abysstalon asked.
"Excuse me?" Calyx asked.
"Come on. Every monster has a history. Something that made them who they are. For instance, I was a short woman that loved goats and other furry animals so much that I turned into this." Abysstalon said as she gestured to her body. "So, how about you two?"
"Well, I don't know about Scaledon here, but I'm not a monster. I'm an alien survivor of the Dark Matter Thieves." Calyx answered.
"You mean those aliens that blew City-A away?" Abysstalon asked.
"Yes. The two of us managed to get away from the Hero Association that was keeping us locked up and torturing us." Calyx admitted while glaring at the ground. They stopped when Abysstalon stopped and looked up at her in mild surprise before grunting.
"So the rumors were true, huh? About how those humans capture and experiment on monsters?" the little monster asked.
"It's worse than you can think." Scaledon answered as she held herself, her body trembling as she recalled her experiences. "I used to be a lot smaller than I am now before the Hero Association got their hands on me. I wanted to kill all those humans...just as much as I wished that they'd have killed me."
Scaledon then went on to describe all that she was forced to endure at the hands of the Hero Association. Having her scales ripped off, force fed nasty goop, let her scales grow back to be ripped off again. Day in and day out, all while the humans would hit her with anything they could to make her compliant. Tears were falling from her eyes when she recalled how she had suddenly grown to her current size, her new strength allowing her and the alien captives with her to escape.
"I was so happy to be free, but I knew they wouldn't let me go that easily. They'd send someone to capture us...capture me...and I'd suffer again if that happened." Scaledon said through a shaky voice before her expression hardened. "But I wasn't a weakling anymore. I had the power to fight back...to make anyone who came after me suffer! Like all those heroes that came after us!"
"So how'd you get away? You two kill the heroes they sent?" Abysstalon asked with a smirk.
"There used to be more of us, but they were defeated. We all swore to take death over capture, so they either got killed or killed themselves. I didn't get that option and was captured." Calyx admitted.
"As for me, I was devouring those humans like candy." Scaledon said with a grin. "Hearing them scream as they squirmed inside trying to escape was music to my ears." Her grin faltered before she held her stomach. "But then...he showed up."
"He? He who?" Abysstalon asked.
"A strange hero with strength far greater than the others. He forced himself down my throat and forced me to vomit up everyone I ate. When I refused to let him out..." Scaledon explained before she grunted with a pained grimace. "He beat the shit out of me from the inside until I lost consciousness."
"Ouch." Abysstalon winced before blinking. "Wait a minute. If you both got beaten and caught...how are you here?"
Scaledon and Calyx cast a glance at each other before looking back at Abysstalon.
"You wouldn't believe us." Calyx answered.
"Try me." Abysstalon challenged. Calyx sighed before she spoke.
"When we were caught, the heroes gathered were going to call the Hero Association to come get us. One of them was hurting me, but then that bald hero, Saitama, got in the way and-"
"Saitama?!"
The two larger women looked down at Abysstalon, her expression a mixture of shock and confusion...and recognition?
"You...know that hero?" Scaledon asked. Abysstalon quickly looked around to see if anyone else was there before quickly drawing Saitama's simple look on the ground.
"This guy?" she asked as she presented the picture.
"That's the guy! He's the one who kept the other heroes from hurting me!" Calyx exclaimed.
"He's the guy that beat me when all the others fell!" Scaledon answered.
Abysstalon just looked at their shocked expressions before she, to their utter bafflement, smiled.
"What are you smiling at?" Calyx asked.
"You two are far luckier than you realize." Abysstalon said before she turned and kept walking. "This way."
The other two looked at her in confusion before looking at each other, then started to follow after her.
Saitama just stared at the group of women before him, an eyebrow raised as they all looked either nervous or uncaring.
He then glanced over to Pink Hornet, the hero thrashing against her bindings and screaming something at them through her gag.
"Was that really necessary?" he asked them all.
"Probably not, but it was all we could think of at the moment." Tank-Top Girl admitted as they all looked down at the enraged captive.
"What do we do now?! She's not gonna listen to us!" Raptora yelped. "When they notice she's gone, they're gonna send others and the whole thing will be exposed!"
"Maybe we can get her to see reason? Everyone else has so far." Captain Mizuki suggested before looking at Saitama. "What do you say, Master?"
"Worth a shot." he said before he knelt down and removed Pink Hornet's gag-
"WHEN I GET OUT OF THIS, I'LL HAVE THE HERO ASSOCIATION TEAR THIS PLACE INSIDE OUT, ALONG WITH EVERY MONSTER AND TRAITOR WHO FOLLOWS YOU, YOU BACKSTABBING, BALD SON OF A-MMPH MMF MMM!"
-then quickly placed it back over her mouth.
"Let's let her cool off a bit first." Saitama suggested.
"Agreed. Perhaps we can let her rest someone and calm down first before we try to explain?" Twin Tail advised.
"Well, she already knows about Raptora. Should we bring her to the others?" Tank-Top Girl asked.
"Sure. Besides, I need to get my suit cleaned. I need it at it's best for tomorrow." Saitama answered.
With that decided, Captain Mizuki hoisted a struggling Pink Hornet onto her shoulder and followed after the others as they walked back to Saitama's home.
'What is going on here?! Why are they being friends with a monster?! Where are they taking me?!' the captured Class-B hero thought as she fought to get out. Sadly, her strength was no match for Captain Mizuki's. 'I can't get out! Shit! What do I do?! Wait. They said they'd listen after I calmed down. Maybe I can use that. I'll act calm and, hopefully, they'll drop their guard. After that, I can run for it and alert the Hero Association.' She turned her gaze over her shoulder and glared towards the back of Saitama's head. 'Forget being a credit stealing fraud. When this gets out, you and everyone else here will be hunted by the other Heroes. They'll never let you run free!'
"Hey, Saitama!"
All of them stopped and turned to see Ki approaching them and removing the hat she was wearing, allowing her hair to cascade down her back.
"We managed to help out the others like you asked us towoah!" Ki began before she jumped back in shock.
"Hey, Ki. We're back. We've also got some friends and...her." Saitama said while gesturing to the others. "Sorry we didn't warn everyone. Things sort of happened."
"Huh? Oh. I see." Ki said with a grimace before holding her nose. "But that's not the real problem here. You all stink!" the kombu monster exclaimed.
"We know. That's what happens when you're eaten and upchucked by a monster." Shadow Ring said as she lifted her arms, her ninja garb drenched in gastric juices and little chunks of various things.
"Don't they have showers at the Hero Association?!" Ki asked, trying not to gag at the smell.
"They do, but we didn't want to deal with them right now. It's...been a day." Captain Mizuki answered.
"It must've." Ki said before looking at Pink Hornet. "What are you going to do with her?"
"We're hoping that, after she calms down, we can let her see our side and help her understand what's going on out here." Tank-Top Girl answered before peeling her sticky Tank-Top off a bit. "But first, a shower. My clothes are sticking to me and it's...very uncomfortable."
"Mind if we use yours? Saitama's apartment doesn't have one." asked Captain Mizuki.
"Sure. Nori and the others are home. They'll let you use them." Ki said as she walked off.
"Where are you going?" Saitama asked.
"Gotta meet somebody, so I'm heading out." Ki said with a wave.
"Okay. See ya." Saitama said with a small wave before he and the others kept walking towards his home.
"Mmmf! Mppmfh!" Pink Hornet muffled through her gag.
"If you yell, we'll put it back." Twin Tail promised before moving the gag out of Pink Hornet's mouth.
"Who was that?! What's going on?! Why are you all being friends with monsters?!" Pink Hornet ranted in a calmer tone.
"In that order. That was Ki. We're heading to Saitama's home. And we're friends because they're not homicidal human haters anymore." Captain Mizuki answered.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?! You honestly think I'll believe that?! LET ME DOWN! THIS IS NOT-"
"And back goes the cloth." Twin Tail said as she reapplied Pink Hornet's gag. "This will be troublesome."
"Let's just go." Saitama said before they all started walking again, with Pink Hornet struggling all the way.
"Here we are." Raptora said as they made it to the apartments. Each of them walked up the stairs before separating, with Saitama heading to his home and the women heading to the Kombu room.
"Be careful. The occupants here can get a little frisky." Captain Mizuki warned, making the others stare at her as she knocked on the door. "Anyone home?" she called.
"Just a second!" came Nori's voice. A moment later, the red haired kombu monster opened the door in nothing but a tight blue shirt that clung to her large breasts and panties, her hair tied in their usual pigtails. "Mizuki! Tank-Top Girl! Raptora! How are you and...who are they?!" she suddenly yelped at the end when she saw Shadow Ring, Twin Tail and Pink Hornet.
"These are Twin Tail and Shadow Ring. They were there during that giant clash a while back." Tank-Top Girl answered.
"And this is Pink Hornet. She...kinda followed us and saw Raptora talking to us all friendly." Captain Mizuki said while gesturing to the Pink Hornet.
"My bad." Raptora said with a sigh and a depressed frown.
"W-W-What do we do?!" Nori whimpered.
"We'll figure that out later. Right now, we'd really like to use the showers here." Tank-Top Girl answered.
"Oh?...Oh! Oh wow! You guys are really dirty!" Nori commented as she fanned her face. "What did you all do? Swim through the sewers?"
"If not for Saitama...we may have ended up close to that." Mizuki said in realization, earning a bop to the head from Tank-Top Girl.
"Don't put those kinds of thoughts in my head!" she yelled, followed by the other heroes. It soon turned into a squabble, with Pink Hornet just watching from upon Captain Mizuki's shoulder.
'What is happening right now?'
Scaledon and Calyx were continuing to follow Abysstalon through the Monster Association, their conversation becoming a little interesting.
"So this hero, Saitama...is actually nice to monsters?" Calyx asked.
"More like he gives us a chance to do something other than kill humans. We try again and...bye bye." Abysstalon answered. "That's why our leader is very curious about him. It's also..." she began before looking around and gesturing to the two to lean in close. When they did, she continued in a whisper. "That's why, when the time comes, me and a lot of the others are gonna jump ship and run for it."
"What? Why?" Scaledon asked. "If we all band together, we can take the fight to the heroes-"
"And be killed by the unstoppable power that Saitama weilds!" Abysstalon cut in. "Hate to say it, but he's too strong. Even our strongest fighting together wouldn't be able to even scratch him."
"Then why form the Monster Association then?" Scaledon asked.
"Because almost everyone here is ignorant of Saitama and believe that those who come back without the will to fight are just being crybabies. They don't know how terror-inducing Saitama can be." Abysstalon answered.
"I know he can throw a punch." Scaledon said with a scowl as she rubbed her still sore stomach. "Boy, can he throw a punch."
"Whatever he threw at you probably was just a light tap. Trust me. He throws an actual punch at you, you're history." Abysstalon said in confidence.
"I wonder if he'd be able to hold a candle to Lady Boros?" Calyx thought out loud.
"You mean the leader of you aliens?" Abysstalon asked.
"You know her?" Calyx asked in surprise.
"Blue skin? One eye? Nice figure?" Abysstalon listed off. "Yeah. She and a few others are resting here."
"Where?!" Calyx yelled.
"Ease up. They're not going anywhere. She's still recovering after her beating." Abysstalon answered. "Looked like a limbless, dried up husk when that psychic octopus brought her and their two friends in. What was her name again? Gerby? Gerfu?"
"Geryuganshoop!" Calyx exclaimed.
"That's it! She-Oh, we're here." Abysstalon said when they approached the door to one of the Monster Association's infirmaries. "We'll get you two patched up and find a place for you to crash afterwards."
"I'd settle for something to wear. This thing is too small for me." Calyx said before they walked in.
"We'll look." Abysstalon said before looking at the monster in a lab coat, their back turned to them. "Yo! Got two new potentials to be examined!"
"Can it wait? I've got my hands full with an issue here." the female monster huffed before turning around.
"Super Mouse?" Abysstalon said after recognizing the monster in the lab coat. A lab coat that draped over the monster's shoulders and suddenly massive breasts and ass. "What happened to you?! You look as big as...as her!" the goat girl yelped while gesturing to Calyx's body.
"You another victim?" Super Mouse sighed as she walked towards Calyx.
"Victim...of what?" the cat alien asked in confusion.
"Of having these." Super Mouse said as she lifted her huge breasts before letting them drop and bounce, the wrap covering her breasts straining against the heavy mammaries. "A few others like me got attacked by some horrible slime monster we have here. It forced goop down our throats and...well, I better just show you."
The mouse monster lead the three deeper into the room where the other monster patients were recovering. When they walked in, they saw what she was talking about.
Many beds were lined up against the walls, each one holding a groaning female monster. At least, they figured they were female seeing as most everyone was sporting a large bust or big ass and hips.
"What in the world happened here?" Scaledon asked as she looked down at a groaning Do-S, the blanket outlining her large figure.
"This is where everyone who was attacked by that slime has been sent to recuperate and be examined by me, despite my protests." Super Mouse answered as they walked in and she examined the closest monster. "How are you feeling?"
"I feel like a bimbo-o-o-o-o-o!" a random goat monster bleated as she squished her tits together.
"I'm glad it didn't get me. If I was that big, I'd have to drag them everywhere." Abysstalon commented.
"Um, excuse me? Super Mouse?" Calyx spoke up. "I know that you're busy, but could you please help us?"
"Pick a bed and wait." Super Mouse huffed before pointing to a large double door. "As for your big friend? The ward for larger monsters is in there. Find a spot and I'll get to you shortly."
Scaledon and Calyx gave irritated grunts before they moved, with Scaledon disappearing behind the doors. Calyx found an empty bed next to Nyan, who was curled up underneath her blanket, and Phoenix Woman, who looked like a comically overstuffed turkey.
"Hello. I'm Phoenix Woman. Welcome to the *urp* Monster Association." Phoenix Woman got out from where she lay.
"Uh...Hi. I'm Calyx." Calyx introduced.
"I hate to ask the obvious, but when did that creature attack you?" the bird monster asked.
"Are you talking about the one that attacked everyone else?" Calyx asked while looking at the other monsters. "If so, then I'm afraid I wasn't attacked. This is natural." she finished while gesturing to herself.
"Really?" Phoenix Woman asked in surprise before chuckling. "I pity your spine."
"Why does everyone I meet think I'm in constant pain because of these?" Calyx grumbled before speaking up. "So...what exactly is the Monster Association?"
"The Monster Association is an organization of monsters that have banded together to relax, rest and, when the time comes, destroy the Hero Association and all of humanity." Phoenix Woman explained before letting out a small belch. "Excuse me."
"Is that so? Well, good riddance. After what those heroes did to me and the others, I hope they all rot!" Calyx said with her arms crossed over her breasts. She kept that pose for a moment before faltering, her expression becoming sad and confused.
"What's with the sad look? You don't want the humans to pay?" Phoenix Woman asked.
"I do want the humans to pay for what they did. I just...have mixed feelings on a few of them." Calxy admitted.
"Don't let the others catch you saying stuff like that." Nyan said before letting out a loud yawn and rolling over. "If you start sounding like you're sympathizing with the humans, they'll see you as a traitor and slaughter you."
"I'm not. It's just that a few of those heroes actually treated me with a bit of kindness." Calyx answered. "Plus, I'm not a monster. I'm an alien from the Dark Matter Thieves."
"I see. Well, regardless, the Monster Association welcomes you." Phoenix Woman said before turning her head back towards Calyx. "Out of curiosity, what heroes showed you kindness? Whenever we clash, it's always been to the death."
"There were a lot of them sent to capture us and Scaledon. I can't remember all their names, but a few do stick out, the most being the bald hero that kept the big one with stripes from kicking me while I was tied up." Calyx recounted.
"Bald?" Phoenix Woman asked while Nyan's eyes snapped open from where she lay.
"Yeah. He was an oddball. He looked so plain, but he was far stronger than the rest of the heroes." Calyx explained.
"Hey." Nyan spoke up, making Calyx look at her. "That hero...the bald one...what was his name?"
"Saitama."
The moment the name left her lips, all commotion in the room ceased. Calyx looked around to see that everyone in the ward were now looking at her.
"What? Did I say something bad?" Calyx asked.
"Not exactly. You just need to be careful with what you say here." Super Mouse told her as she approached Calyx's bed. "That hero is the center of many a conversation here. Unless you want a lot of unwanted attention, don't speak that hero's name so casually."
"Why?" Calyx asked. Her answer came in the form of Super Mouse reaching out and grabbing Calyx by the throat, making the cat woman gasp and try to pry Super Mouse's hand off as the monster lifter her into the air.
"Consider it 'doctor's orders.' And I'm the doctor." Super Mouse stated in a calm tone.
"O-Okay! I get it! P-Put me down!" Calyx wheezed. Super Mouse kept up her grip before releasing Calyx, the alien woman coughing as she massaged her throat.
"Good. Now, if you'll excuse me." Super Mouse said before she wheeled Nyan towards the door, the cat monster trembling under her blanket like a scared child. "Let's get you somewhere nice and secluded, Nyan."
"Scary baldy! Scary baldy! Scary baldy!" Nyan whimpered on repeat before she was taken out of the room.
"What's *cough* what's with her?" Calyx asked before seeing the various reactions of some of the other patients. Some didn't care, but a few were shivering or looking scared.
"Some of us have encountered Saitama before. And some, like Nyan, have a terrible time coming to terms with the reality that is his strength." Abysstalon answered.
"And some of us wish to test that strength."
Calyx turned towards the new voice before her eyes widened, her hands covering her mouth as she gasped.
"Lady Boros?!" she asked as her leader approached.
"Hello, Calyx. Good to see more of my crew are alive and well." Boros said as she stood next to the bed. Calyx just stared up at her leader, tears of joy cascading down her cheeks and staining her fur.
"Lady Boros! I thought...I thought you were dead when the ship went down!" Calyx whimpered.
"I almost did. It's a bit of a story." Boros said before placing her hands on Calyx's shoulders. "But right now, I'm just glad to see you're okay."
That was the last straw for Calyx, the cat alien sobbing as she flung her arms around her leader.
"Still a crybaby." Boros chuckled as she hugged the crying cat alien.
"Ugh. Get a room, you two." another patient scoffed. Said patient was then beheaded when a clipboard soared through the air and lodged into the wall behind her.
"Anyone else want to comment on my care for my crew?" Boros asked, making the others clam up. She then turned her attention back to Calyx, the cat woman still crying at seeing her leader alive. After a few minutes, she finally calmed down enough to speak.
"What...What happened, Lady Boros? How...How did you...?" Calyx said while trying not to bring up what happened.
"How'd I lose? Because Saitama was stronger than me." Boros answered with a smile. "Even with all my power, I was no match. He completely decimated me."
"Why...do you sound happy about that?" Calyx asked.
"Because, after so long, I felt the rush of a battle worth fighting." Boros answered before leading Calyx away. "Come. We'll talk more when we see Geryuganshoop."
"She's here too?" Calyx asked before smiling. "That's good. Are there any others who survived down here?"
"Just two. Everyone else is either dead or have been captured by the Hero Association." Boros answered as they passed through a door to the larger ward, the beds inside far larger than normal ones and having a few occupants on them as well.
"I see. By the way, why is Lady Geryuganshoop here? Is she visiting one the monster patients?" Calyx asked.
"No." Boros answered before they stopped at Geryuganshoop's bed, the alien woman sitting up and eating before noticing the two. She smiled and stood up, allowing Calyx to see that the psychic alien woman had grown far larger since they last saw each other. "She is a patient."
"Ah! Calyx! Glad to see you're alright." Geryuganshoop said with a smile before it dropped when she noticed Calyx staring at her, the cat alien's eyes wide and her jaw dropped. "What?"
"L...Lady...Geryuganshoop!...What...What happened to you?! You're...You're HUGE!" Calyx yelled.
Geryuganshoop sighed as she looked down at herself. Her form had indeed changed since the last time they talked. She was much taller and her breasts were larger. However, that was nothing compared to her hips and ass, which had ballooned up.
"I know." Geryuganshoop said as she slowly ran her hands down her body. "I'm still surprised myself. I didn't have all this yesterday." she said before her hands reached her massive ass. "I definitely didn't have this."
"How did this happen?!" Calyx asked. "Were you attacked by that slime thing the other monsters were attacked by?!"
"Yes. That little blob shoved a good chunk of that good down my throat before I managed to get it off with my powers. I was sent down here to be examined, but found myself succumbing to the effects far faster than the others. I don't know if it was because of my alien phsiology that caused it to react faster, but the results are the same." Geryuganshoop said as she sat on her bed. "Now I'm stuck with all this."
"You should be happy. If this was your home planet, you'd be having many suitors line up to court you." Boros chuckled.
"Sh-Shut up! All any of them would want is my ass!" Geryuganshoop yelled, her face turning red before she pouted and looked away when Boros just laughed, with Calyx snickering a little as well. "And just what are you laughing about? In case you hadn't noticed, you'd be much bigger than me if you were my height!"
"I'm sorry! It's just that this reminds me of many times back on the ship." Calyx answered before sighing. "I miss the ship. It was so amazing."
"Only because of your meticulous upkeep, Ms. Chief Engineer." Boros commented. "Sadly, no amount of skill could repair the Power Sphere. And without that, the ship was just a giant hunk of useless metal."
"How did it happen? Did Saitama attack the Power Sphere during the fight?" Calyx asked.
"Not intentionally." Boros answered.
"Excuse me. I hate to cut in, but can you please keep it down?" Eyesight spoke up from her own bed, her breasts acting as a small pillow for her size.. "I'm trying to rest after that horrible little thing attacked me."
"Heh. If I didn't know what it'd do to me again, I'd let it attack me just to have seconds." Great Food Tub chuckled from where she lay on her bed, her own swollen breasts jiggling from her laughter.
"How big was this monster that it could feed two large monsters like them?" Calyx asked. "Does it just produce more?"
"It seems to be able to replenish itself with water, so it could make enough to feed everybody until they explode." Geryuganshoop said. "At least, that's what we all heard Super Mouse say."
"What exactly is this thing you all keep talking about?" Calyx asked.
"Locked away tight, where it hopefully won't ever escape." Super Mouse stated as she walked into the room she started to escort Calyx out. "Now, you need to find a bed and rest. I'll see you after I tend to Scaledon."
"Hold on! I was talking to my leader!" Calyx whined.
"You can all talk later. Right now, you need to rest." Super Mouse told her as she lead her out of the room and back to her bed. "Now stay here or I'll tie you to the bed."
"Wait!" Calyx called out.
"What now?" Super Mouse huffed. "I want to get this done with so I can sit down. My back's killing me." she mumbled the last part.
"Just tell me. Who exactly is Sai-er...that hero?" Calyx asked, careful not to speak Saitama's name out loud. Super Mouse merely stared at her before smiling and walking off.
"You've met him before. You put it together." Super Mouse answered. Calyx just narrowed her eyes before she lied down on the bed.
"How can I put it together if I don't know him?" she asked herself before a random rolled a very round Manako into the ward.
"Found another one." they said while Manako belched.
Saitama sighed as he sat in his bathtub. After splitting from the group and entering his home, he removed his outfit, tossed it into the washing machine, rinsed off any gunk that clung to him and finally filled the tub with hot water to soak in.
"Finally. This has been one weird day, and I can't even relax just yet." he said to himself. "That other hero, Pink Humus, knows about us and isn't very accepting. Can't really blame her. A monster swallowed her whole, then spit her up. I'd be angry too if I were in her shoes."
After dunking himself, he got out of the water and quickly dried before slipping into a white T-shirt and gray shorts.
'But now that she knows, we need to convince her that everyone's okay. Otherwise, she'll tell the Hero Association, who'll probably send people to kill the monsters and arrest everyone involved.' he thought as he stepped out into the main area of his little home.
"Are you finished, Master?" Genos asked from where he stood outside of Saitama's bathroom.
"Dude, knock it off. I know you're my disciple, but you don't need to stand outside the doorway like that." Saitama huffed before looking around. "By the way, where'd King go?"
"King said that he remembered getting a new game and wanted to bring it over for him and Raptora to play. Therefore, he has left to go and retrieve it. It seems that, despite the hostility between him and the monsters living here, he and Raptora have started to bond over videogames." Genos explained.
"Really? That's good. Maybe this'll help King and the others get along." Saitama said as he wiped the last bit of moisture off his head, making it shine. "Speaking of the others, have the other heroes made any progress in calming down Pink Hairspray?"
"Her name is Pink Hornet, and I do not believe so. She did, however, looked shocked that I was here and that I knew about the monsters living here." Genos answered.
"Of course she would. Anyone would be surprised to know a Class-S hero gets along with a bunch of monsters." Saitama answered. "In fact, they'd be surprised any human and monster could get along without knowing the whole story."
"You are correct, Master. I recall my own shock when I first encountered Vaccine Woman and the Subterranean Queen when I came over that day." Genos said as he cleaned the area King and Raptora were playing games in.
"Yeah. Still, if we can't convince her, then letting her leave will mean trouble. And we have to let her go. She's not a criminal or a dangerous monster. She's a hero." Saitama answered while he pulled the plug on the vacuum cleaner after Genos plugged it in. "Kogane might be around. Check first."
"Right. Forgive me, Master. I shall see if she is nearby." Genos apologized before he walked out the door, leaving Saitama all alone.
"Well, that'll give me a bit of peace and quiet." he said as he reached for a manga before he heard a knock on the door. "Spoke too soon."
"Saitama? Can I come in?" came Tank-Top Girl's voice.
"Door's unlocked." he answered. A moment later, Tank-Top Girl walked in wearing a different Tank-Top and small shorts. "You look cleaner."
"Yeah. Nori and the other monsters let us use the showers in their rooms. They even took our clothes to wash and gave all of us something to wear in the meantime." she said as she looked down at her clothing. "I like the top since it's not so constricting, but..."
"But?" Saitama parroted as TT Girl examined her shorts that showed off all her legs.
"But these shorts they gave me are really small. I feel like I'm wearing jean-styled underwear." she explained. "Said it was the only thing they had that would fit my ass after it got bigger."
"Was it Ki or Midori that gave them to you?" Saitama asked.
"No. They're both still out." she answered. "Nori gave me these."
"Then it's legit." he said, eliciting a small laugh from her.
"Let me guess. They usually like to have any women they bimbofy in as little as possible?" she asked with a smirk.
"Pretty much." Saitama answered as he picked up a manga. "How's Pink...Hamlett?"
"Hornet. And she's...fine, I guess? She's being watched by the Deep Sea Queen and Eliza. They said they'd let her bathe if she promised to behave." Tank-Top Girl answered before looking around. "How do you manage to be content with this little amount of space?"
"I don't need a lot of things, so I don't need a lot of space." he answered.
"Maybe, but isn't having Genos here making it a little cramped?" she asked as she sat at the table next to him.
"I used to think so, but now it's the norm. Plus, he does all he can to not be in my way." Saitama explained. "Is everyone else doing alright?"
"They're fine. They split up and are now talking with the monsters." Tank-Top Girl answered before chuckling. "I still find it strange that humans and monsters can just sit down and be friendly. But then you get to know them and, well, become friends."
"Yeah. Too bad the general public would just flip out and not listen if we tried to explain everything." Saitama sighed.
"Or the Hero Association." TT Girl added before the door opened again.
"I have returned, Master Saitama. You were correct. Kogane was in her room talking with the Beast Queen and Captain Mizuki." Genos said as he walked in before noticing Tank-Top Girl. "Tank-Top Girl. What are you doing?"
"I'm talking with Saitama." she answered.
"Why would you think it is a good idea to bother Master Saitama while he's busy relaxing?" he asked.
"She's not bothering me, Genos. Stop acting like I have to be alone when I'm doing nothing." Saitama ordered in a bored tone.
"Very well, then. I will now continue my duties without the vacuum." Genos declared as he got a broom and dustpan to sweep the area in front of the TV.
"King's coming back to play a game with Raptora later, so there's no point at the moment." Saitama stated.
"I see. Then I shall wait until later." Genos answered.
"It baffles me. Despite knowing who is stronger, the sight of a Class-S hero taking orders from anyone who's in a lower Class is still something to see." Tank-Top Girl said with a giggle.
"Are you insinuating that I should not take orders from my Master due to the Hero Association's mistake of putting him at the bottom of it's ranks?" Genos asked, his eyes glowing with anger.
"Would you stop that?" Saitama huffed. "It's the norm for everyone to put a lot of stock into ranks."
"Very well, Master." Genos said before looking back at Tank-Top Girl.
"Uh...is something wrong?" she asked.
'She is not in her usual attire. She is showing a lot more skin than usual in Master's home. Plus, both she and Master Saitama seem to be relaxing casually and talking.' Genos thought.
"I see." he said.
"See what?" Saitama asked while still looking at his manga.
"Master, have you informed Vaccine Woman that you are dumping her for Tank-Top Girl?" he asked.
"WHAT?!/HUH?!" the other two heroes yelled.
"Well, your close proximity and choice of attire is one that only those who are dating would choose to wear around each other. And what of the others? Do they know-"
"NOW WHO'S THE ONE INSINUATING THINGS?!" Tank-Top Girl yelled, her face turning red with embarrassment.
"So you are not planning to take Master away from Vaccine Woman, despite the fact that the two of them have already-"
"That's it!" Saitama snapped as he rose up from the floor and pushed Genos towards the door. "Out! Out, before you say anything else!"
"But, Master-"
"OUT!" Saitama yelled as he pushed Genos out the front door and slammed it shut, his own cheeks turning red from embarrassment. "Man! Doesn't that guy know how to shut up?!" he asked himself as he returned to the table, his face back in his book. A few moments passed before...
"Saitama?"
The bald hero flinched slightly before lowering his book and casting a glance at Tank-Top Girl, who was looking back at him with red cheeks.
"What did Genos mean about you and Vaccine Woman?" she asked. His only response was to look up and cover his face with his manga, a groan escaping his throat.
Super Mouse was quietly examining her next patient away from the others.
"How much longer will this take, you oversized rodent?"
Too bad the patient wasn't as quiet.
"Will you stop whining, Pureblood?" Super Mouse asked the lean, overly curvaceous vampire woman as she examined the monster's body. "None of the others were this upset when examined."
"I loathe the fact that I have to allow some phony monster to touch my body in any sort of manner!" Pureblood huffed as Super Mouse took some of her blood.
"Well if you didn't want to be in nothing but a medical gown and examined by me, you shouldn't have bitten that slime woman." Super Mouse said as she removed the syringe, not even bothering to bandage the vampire as the wound healed almost instantly.
"How was I supposed to know that it would shove that disgusting slime of hers down my throat when I bit into her?!" Pureblood snapped before looking down at herself. "I look ridiculous with these...things on me!"
"Welcome to the club." Super Mouse said in a bored tone as she labeled the vial Pureblood's blood was in and put it away to be analyzed later. "Alright. You're finished."
"Good." Pureblood huffed before she suddenly transformed into a flock of bats, shredding the gown as they flew out of the room.
"Why does she have to be such a stuck up, pain in the ass?" Super Mouse grumbled before walking out of the room herself, a clipboard in her hand. "Got everyone on the list...except for that new one, Calyx." she said before approaching the cat woman. "How you doing?"
"Well, I'm not being tortured by the Hero Association now." Calyx answered.
"That's a definite plus. Can you stand, or need to be wheeled in?" Super Mouse asked.
"I'm good." Calyx said as she stood up and followed after Super Mouse to the private room to be examined.
"Before we begin, just to clarify, you said that you weren't attacked by a slime woman?" Super Mouse asked.
"That's right. This is all me." Calyx said as she sat down on the table and gestured to her body.
"Okay then." Super Mouse said before she began to examine Calyx's body. "So you're another alien from the Dark Matter Thieves?"
"Yes. I was the Chief Engineer. I made sure the ship functioned correctly." Calyx answered as Super Mouse tended to her wounds while examing her. "Mind if I ask a question?"
"You just did." Super Mouse joked, making Calyx roll her eyes. "Ask."
"Was the slime creature's attack instantaneous?" Calyx asked while gesturing to Super Mouse's body. "Or did it happen gradually?"
"Gradually. It attacked me, forced a large amount of slime down my throat and ran." Super Mouse answered as she took a few blood samples from Calyx. "Hmm. Orange blood. Interesting."
"If that's the case, why not just throw the slime up before you all blew up that big?" the cat alien asked.
"Because, based on the samples of the creature I was given to examine, the slime becomes incredibly viscous. It literally stuck to the inside of our stomachs until it was digested." Super Mouse answered as she stored the blood samples. "So now...a lot of us are stuck like this."
"Sorry to hear that." said Calyx.
"Not your problem. Any spots I missed that need to be patched up?" Super Mouse asked.
"Just under my breasts." Calyx answered before lifting her tits up with her arms, revealing a few small wounds with blood caked in the fur around them. "While I was escaping from the heroes, I fell and cut myself."
"Hmm. Might be infected. And if so, this may be difficult to heal. No idea how well your physiology will adapt to Earth's medicines and such. Still, won't know unless we try." Super Mouse said as she put on a fresh pair of gloves and got a tray of medical supplies ready. "Lie down on the bed and I'll get to work."
"Alright." Calyx said as she laid back down on the bed.
"Lift your breasts for me." she ordered, which Calyx obeyed and moved them to show the wound. "This might sting." Super Mouse said as she began to gently dab the wound with disinfectant, earning a hiss from Calyx. A few minutes passed as Super Mouse carefully cleaned the wounds. "Alright. Now to dress them. You can let your arms rest while I get the right amount of bandages out. It must be exhausting holding them up."
"Nah. I'm fine. My breasts aren't heavy at all." Calyx answered.
"Uh huh. Sure." Super Mouse said in a disbelieving tone.
"They're not! Why does everyone keep thinking these things are nothing but a heavy inconvenience?!" Calyx huffed.
"In case you haven't noticed, each of those things are over twice the size of your head! You're telling me they don't weight a ton?" Super Mouse asked.
"You don't believe me? Feel for yourself!" Calyx challenged.
"Fine." Super Mouse said as she put the bandages down. She then took a hold of each of Calyx's breasts and gently bounced them in each hand. She then blinked before looking down at them and bounced them again. "What the...How in the world are these things so light?!"
"Told you." Calyx smirked as Super Mouse continued to examine them. She bounced them a few more times before she moved her hands around them and pressed in on them at random spots. She even pushed in far enough that her hand practically disappeared, yet bounced out with suprising force when she relaxed her arm.
'Amazing. They're lighter than their size would dictate. And their surprisingly soft, yet incredibly elastic. Is this because of her species? Are all females of her race like this? Why would they be this huge and-"
"Uh...Super Mouse?"
Super Mouse flinched before looking up at Calyx, the cat woman's face red as she panted.
"Can you please stop squeezing me already?" she asked, her tits squished together under Super Mouse's strong arms.
"Whoops! Sorry!" Super Mouse yelped as she released them, letting them bounce free.
"Are all creatures on this planet that fascinated by my breasts?" Calyx asked as she held her knees up, squishing her tits together and using them as a pillow for her chin.
"Sorry. I got lost in my curiosity. I've never met a creature with breasts like yours. They're so...soft." Super Mouse answered.
"Well yours don't look that different. If you want to play with a pair of tits, why not play with your own?" Calyx asked.
"That'd be a bad idea. I'd never stop because of the-" Super Mouse started before she pursed her lips.
"Because of the...what?" Calyx asked.
"N-Never mind! I'll dress your wounds!" Super Mouse yelped, her own face turning red as she got fresh gloves on.
'Stupid slime! No way am I gonna say what else that thing's goop did to all of us!' the mouse monster thought as she got to work.
Tank-Top Girl was silent as she walked through the streets of the Ghost Town, her mind going back to her conversation with Saitama.
"If you want to know the whole story, you'd have to talk to Vaccine Woman. She can explain better than I can."
"Can't believe he's passing the responsibility off on her." she said with a glare. "Why can't he explain it? All that strength and he's too scared to tell a girl the truth?" She sighed again before she looked around the area. "I think he said it was in this direction." she muttered before she came upon the spot Saitama told her about: A little garden that was being worked by Vaccine Woman.
"Hey, Tank-Top Girl. What brings you here?" she asked before noticing her clothes. "Why are you wearing so little? You run into Midori or Ki?"
"No. Our clothes needed washed after that disaster of a mission from the Hero Association. Nori said these were the only things on hand that would properly fit." Tank-Top Girl answered.
"Makes sense. She wouldn't lie about clothing. Especially since those two perverts keep hiding the loose fitting and/or modest pieces they find." Vaccine Woman chuckled as she watered some sprouting flowers. "So, what brings you here? Come to check out the garden? It's not in full bloom yet, but it'll bring some nice color to this dreary place."
"It does look nice, but I'm actually here to talk to you. About...Saitama." Tank-Top Girl said. "I heard that you and he are...close."
"Yes." Vaccine Woman answered without looking at her.
"So...how close is close?" Tank-Top Girl asked.
"I already told you. Yes." Vaccine Woman answered.
"Huh? Wait...What?!" Tank-Top Girl yelped. Vaccine Woman merely chuckled again as she looked over her shoulder, her cheeks dusted pink.
"Me and Saitama? Yes." she said again.
The more Tank-Top Girl thought about it, the more the implications started to pop up in her mind.
"But...So...Are you staying that you...and he...You both...?!" Tank-Top Girl got out, her eyes wide and disbelieving.
"Do I have to say it out loud?" Vaccine Woman sighed before fully turning towards her. "I confessed, he accepted. We kissed, we hugged, we felt each other up and we fucked long into the night to the point that I couldn't feel anything from the waist down the next day!" Vaccine Woman answered.
Tank-Top Girl's face practically smoked with how red it became as her knees got weak. All she could do was stare at Vaccine woman as she fell to the ground.
"I...I don't believe it. I...I didn't think that...I mean...Oh wow." Tank-Top Girl got out. "I knew you two were friendly, but not that friendly." the hero admitted.
"I honestly didn't feel that way about him at the beginning. However, with how nice he was to me, I couldn't help but fall for him." Vaccine Woman said with a happy smile. "It's the same for the others."
"The others? What do you mean?" TT Girl asked.
"It's not just me that loves Saitama. All the other women living out here love him too." Vaccine Woman answered.
"WHAAAAT?!" Tank-Top Girl yelled, her dream of Saitama being surrounded by all the women coming back to her. "You gotta be kidding me! All of you feel that way?! Does that mean that all of you have slept with him?!"
"Not all of us, but that's only because the others haven't worked up the nerve to ask Saitama to be alone with them for a night." Vaccine Woman answered.
By now, the poor hero was teetering back and forth, her mind going haywire at what she just learned.
"How...How did this happen?" she slurred.
"Love is a funny thing." Vaccine Woman answered, which served to snap TT Girl out of her stupor.
"But...But you and the others are monsters! I know that you all are friends, but how did love come into the picture?!" she asked.
"With how kind Saitama is to us, how could it not?" Vaccine Woman answered before kneeling down to be at eye level with Tank-Top Girl, a gentle smile on her face. "Saitama could've killed us all, but he gave us a second chance. With it, we all became something more than just monsters. This second chance...Is something we all treasure. Something that nobody else would even think to give us. It's why we all fell in love with Saitama."
Tank-Top Girl could do nothing but stare at the kind smile Vaccine Woman gave her as she dropped this major bombshell on her. The hero's gaze slowly lowered to the ground as she tried to fully take in this earth shaking news.
Sadly, she didn't have time to do so on account of the earth literally shaking around them.
"W-What's going on?!" Tank-Top Girl asked as she looked around area, the empty streets and vacant buildings all started to wobble and shift as the ground began to tremor under them. "An earthquake?!"
"No." Vaccine Woman answered, her fearful gaze looking out in the distance. "Earthquakes don't send chills of death of your spine. Something's coming!"
Geryuganshoop was quietly shifting a few objects around her with her powers before she felt the area start to shake a little, a familiar presence coming to her senses.
"Oh...Oh no...Not again!" she whimpered.
King had just reached the entrance to the Ghost Town before he stumbled on his feet when the area began to quake.
"W-Whoa! What's going on?!" he asked.
Psykos was doing her own experiments on the slime woman before she picked up on a presence.
"Shit. They're back!" she cursed.
Ki was silent as she sat on an empty bench in the Ghost Town, a calm expression on her face as if to say the area around her shaking didn't mean a thing. The shaking intensified a little as she closed her eyes before it suddenly quit. She then opened her eyes again and gazed at the person standing before her.
"I knew you'd come." Ki said.
"Normally, I'd just kill you and be done with it. However, I'm actually curious about this one." the figure said as they raised a hand. Ki's only reaction was to grunt as her body started to float in the air, her breathing a little hard as she felt an invisible force squeeze her throat. "So I'm going to give you a chance to explain your side of the story. And who knows? If it's a good excuse, I may just be merciful and make your death quick and painless. So tell me, Ki. Why did you do it?"
Ki's reaction was to glare at the person before her, making them growl in aggravation.
"Maybe I need to be more specific."
Ki gasped in pain as she was brought face-to-face with a very irate Tatsumaki.
"Why did you attack. My. Sister?!"
