Chapter 6

"What...what was that?" she groaned as she sat up. Her body was back to it's original black and white color, but thinner everywhere. A trench of blood and destruction was leading away from her, indicating the direction she had been flung from. "It wasn't that cyborg's hand. But if not his, then...wait. There was someone else there." She closed her eyes and concentrated on the image in her mind before it all came together. "That second guy must've attack me! But how?! With all the power I had, no human should've been able to surpass me!"

"And yet, they did."

"Huh?" she got out before a shadow loomed over her. She looked up to see who it was before feeling whatever blood that was still left in her body drain from her face.

"Y-You're..." she stuttered, too afraid to continue as other figures joined the tallest one.

"If you lost to a human, and especially if you were hopped up on blood, then you serve no purpose in the Doctor's plans to eradicate the humans." snarled the figure, their clawed hand raised to finish her off. Mosquito Girl flinched as the hand came down...

[Hold it!]

Before being stopped by the second largest figure there stepping in the way.

"Why are you stopping me, Armored Gorilla?!"

[If we kill her and the Doctor finds out later, he may be displeased. Any data she may have, no matter how little, may be of use to the Doctor. Also, it is up to him to decide what to do with us.] the cyborg gorilla explained in a robotic monotone voice.

The largest figure loosened an animalistic growl before bringing their hand back.

"Fine." she snorted before turning to two of the smaller ones. "Carry her."

"Uh, yes!" they nodded before grabbing Mosquito Girl and carrying her with them as they walked.

"W-Wait. This isn't the way to the Doctor's lab." Mostquito Girl said in confusion.

"We need to pick something up first." said a praying mantis mutant.

[It is not a 'what'. It is a 'who'.] Armored Gorilla corrected.

"Okay. Who then?" Mosquito Girl asked.

"The one that the Doctor says slapped you silly." the largest figure laughed, causing the blood drained monster to stiffen in terror.

"What?! No! Let me go!" she shrieked as she began struggling.

"Oh stop whining." said the little frog mutant that had a firm lock on her legs. "He may have beaten you, but that only means that you're weak." His gaze shifted to the leader of the group, his lips curling into a smile. "After all, no man can ever tame that beast."

-Saitama's Apartment-

The cyborg, fully repaired, was standing outside of Saitama's door. He deep a breath before calling out.

"Sensei, Sir!"

Silence for moment, then the door slid open enough for Saitama to look out in annoynace.

"You actually showed up...uhh..."

"Genos, Sensei Sir!" Genos introduced.

"Will you stop with the 'Sensei' stuff?' Saitama asked.

"Yes Master!" Genos corrected.

"Not 'Master' either!" Saitama snapped before opening the door and letting him come in. "Come on in." he sighed. Genos walked in...and immediately brought his arms up, ready to fry the two monsters sitting in his living room. The Subterranean Queen brought the swords strapped to her back out while Vaccine Girl hid under the table.

"Why are you monsters inside my master's home?!" Genos demanded.

"Excuse me? 'Your' Master?" Sub-Queen asked in an affronted tone.

"Saitama! This guy's gonna kill me!" Vaccine Girl wailed from under the table.

"Hey!" Saitama barked as he stepped between them all. "No fighting in my home!" A few moments later, and everyone calmed down, everyone was now sitting down around the table, though the tension had yet to leave.

"Have your tea and go. I'm not looking for disciples." Saitama explained, a hot glass of tea before everyone present.

"But you have a monster for a disciple." Genos pointed out, his eyes shifting to the larger fem-monster in question.

"I do not train under him. I am his servant because of Subterranean law." she explained. Her outfit had changed. Hardened magma now covered her bottom and bosom, though that was it. Didn't stop either from jiggling when she moved.

"And before you ask." Vaccine Girl spoke up when Genos looked at her. "I'm only squatting here until my strength is back." She shrank back when his palm drifted towards her. "ACK! I'M NOT GONNA ATTACK HUMANS!" she wailed fearfully, her arms flailing in front of her. "SAITAMA BEAT THAT OUT OF ME!" Her tiny form was sweating so bad it practically soaked the oversized shirt she was wearing as she trembled before the cyborg's hardened gaze. She sighed in relief when Genos lowered his arm, though he didn't stop glaring at her.

"It is strange to see another converse with monsters, Master Saitama." said Genos.

"I told you, I'm not-wait a minute? I just realized that you're fixed up." Saitama said in surprise.

"Yes. Since most of my body is mechanical." he explained. "What parts do you use, Master?"

"Don't use any." Saitama denied.

"Then what about that skin colored armor on your head?" Genos asked as he pointed at Saitama's head.

"That's just my skin, dude." the bald hero stated.

"That's strange. You appear to be far to young to be bald." Genos thought aloud, not seeing the panicked looks on the girls in the room, or the way they flailed their arms or chopped their hands across their necks. Sadly, it was too late.

"SO I'M BALD! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, HUH?!" Saitama roared.

"My problems? You are asking me to state each one?" Genos asked, completely missing Saitama's outburst.

"No...I'm good." Saitama answered in a deflated tone. Sadly, Genos decided to explain anyway. And man did he explain. How he used to be human, the mad cyborg that killed his family and destroyed his hometown. How a Doctor named Kuseno turned him into a cyborg that fights for justice. Saitama felt sorry for him. The others, lacking humanity, didn't really much care but kept their expressions neutral. They couldn't keep that up when Genos continued, his explanation turning into repetitive rambling. Saitama's whole body was twitching in a dangerous manner, Vaccine Girl was in danger of pushing her fingers so far into her ears that she'd hit her brain, and the Subterranean Queen's hands were twitching towards her blades. Finally, one of them broke.

"ENOUGH YOU IDIOT! SHORTEN THIS STUPID STORY TO TWENTY WORDS OR LESS!" Saitama screamed. Genos blinked at the outburst finding the right words to fulfill Saitama's request.

"Here is the short version, Master. Please teach me how to be as strong as you are!" the cyborg requested. Nobody in the room said anything as they patiently awaited for Saitama to answer. Finally, his face more serious than usual, Saitama spoke.

"Genos."

"Yes Master?"

"How old are you?"

"19 sir!"

"So young. I have no doubt you'll surpass me in no time." Saitama stated.

"Really Master?!" Genos asked in shock.

'Yeah right.' thought the present monsters.
