Chapter 7

"I'm 25 years old now, but I didn't even begin training until I was 22." explained the bald hero, shocking not only Genos, but the two monsters as well since this was the first they'd heard of this. "Fine. I'll teach you, but it's not going to be easy. Think you can handle it?"

"YES!" Genos shouted before his eyes narrowed and he jumped into a crouch, the atmosphere tensing as he glared at the door. "High speed object approaching! It is here!"

That was all he got out before the ceiling caved in, revealing an oversized praying mantis laughing as he landed on the table.

"Greetings! I am-"

BLAM!

"Pay for my ceiling!" Saitama growled, his fist still out from where it knocked the monster's head clean off, a fountain of green blood shooting out of his neck.

"Who is this worm?" Sub-Queen sneered at the dead body.

"Maybe you should've asked before knocking his head off?" Vaccine Girl suggested, her eyes shifting between the monster and Saitama.

"Three more outside, Master! LEAVE THEM TO ME!" he yelled as he jumped out the window and landed on the street below, only to blink when he saw Saitama standing between three monsters, two of which had their asses hanging out of the holes in the street they'd been buried in. "Uhh, never mind."

"I didn't even see you attack at all." Mosquito Girl whispered to herself from where she lay on the ground before Saitama, who looked down at her in surprise.

"Huh? Aren't you that mosquito monster from awhile back?" Saitama asked after having finally noticing her. He then blinked in surprise when two claws shot out of the ground, grabbed him by the ankles, and pulled him into the ground, leaving only his head exposed.

"What happened?!" Vaccine Girl yelled from where she and Sub-Queen were watching from the balcony.

"MASTER!" both Genos and Sub-Queen yelled. Genos tried to run to help while the monster woman jumped to the ground, swords at the ready.

"No, wait." he calmly told them. "It's actually nice. I feel like a young bamboo shoot." Both cyborg and monster didn't know what to make his choice, but they didn't have long to ponder.

[Elevated energy levels detected!] Both turned to see another monster approaching, one which caused Genos to gasp.

'A cyborg?! Could he be...?'

[Neither of you are the target.] stated Armored Gorilla before charging at them. [OUT OF THE WAY!] it roared as it lunged at them. The two of them jumped back, leaving the enemy cyborg to plant it's fist into the ground and leave itself open to counterattack, which Genos quickly capitalize on. The Subterranean Queen drew her swords and prepared to join the fray, but stopped when she felt tremors coming from Saitama's direction. After all, she was Saitama's servant, so she didn't really care who the blonde cyborg was anyway.

Speaking of Saitama, the bald hero merely stared up at the figure that now stood before him.

It was a large humanoid lionness with long hair pulled into a low ponytail, which swayed with her real tail. Her frame was lean, but six pack that was exposed showed she had muscles. She wore a black shirt that was strained from holding her breasts in, animal furs on her shoulders, a leopard skin wrapped around her waist that was held in place by heavy chains a belt with a lion head buckle, and skin tight maroon shorts. She also wore bracelets on her wrists and ankles, and bracers on both biceps.

The mere sight of her caused Mosquito Girl to shriek and try to hide herself behind Saitama. A fat lot of good it did her.

"Hmph." the lionness scoffed as she merely watched the two of them like they were nothing but a nuisance. "I don't know what's more pathetic. This weird human that the doctor wants us to kidnap, or the fact that you nearly got killed by him." The ground shifted a short distance away, revealing a little mole mutant of sorts watching them.

"Well, he must have some combat ability. Otherwise, the doctor wouldn't want him." stated the mole.

"Fair enough, Ground Dragon." the lionness nodded at him before looking back down at them, her blood red eyes blinking when she noticed the bored look on Saitama's face. "Hey asshole! What's with that stupid look?!" she snapped in anger, which seemed to skyrocket when he yawned, yawned of all things. Like he wasn't afraid at all.

"Sorry. It's just that being in the ground keeps you warm and cool all at the same time." he explained, causing the monster before him to twitch. "I actually feel like taking a nap. Mind getting lost?"

"Uh, bald guy?" Mosquito Girl whispered meekly. "It's not a good idea to piss off the Beast Queen!"

"The Beast Queen?" Saitama asked before looking up at the cackling monster.

"Do me a favor and shut it, you little failure." she ordered Mosquito Girl before crouching down low enough so that she was eye level with Saitama, unknowingly giving him a clear view of cleavage. "I'll simply educate him myself of how scary I can be." She then thrust two of her clawed fingers mere inches from his eyes. "I'll start by scratching your eyes out with these! And then we'll move on to the real fun afterwards!"

SHINK!

The Beast Queen didn't twitch a single muscle for moment, then looked up at the one who had just driven their sword into the ground between her and Saitama.

"And what do you want, bitch?" she growled up at the Subterranean Queen. "This is between us and him."

"You and your fellow creatures have a lot of nerve." she said as she glared daggers at the Beast Queen. "You break into my Master's home uninvited. You bury him like some plant! And now you threaten to harm him for amusement!" She finished the last word with a grunt as she wrenched her sword from the ground. "I shant let you do as you please! If you wish to get to my Master, you have to get through me!"
