One Punch Man: The New Saitama

Team Tatsumaki, now Team Genos since the green-haired woman was too depressed to lead the team, and Team Child Emperor had finally arrived in front of Genus' office.

" Hey, you're Genos right ? What happened to Tatsumaki ? She's acting weirdly." Said child Emperor while hacking the interface that controlled the door, he didn't wanted to destroy the door if he didn't have to. As he said that, Genos turned around and saw that Tatsumaki was indeed acting weird. She was sobbing and mumbling to herself, while Zombieman looked like he wanted to comfort her, but for some reasons couldn't.

" it seems that she can't accept the truth when she has to face it. I personally find her behaviour completely unbecoming of a hero such as herself. If she always act like a child, i really wonder why everyone consider her to be one of the best hero in the world.....Oh wait, i know. Human's stupidity." Said Genos, his voice dripping with sarcasm which made Child Emperor a little uncomfortable.

" Excuse me if i'm being disrespectful, but you seem to have a certain hatred for Heroes, young man." Said Silver Fang, looking at Genos with a curious expression.

" i don't hate them. I hate how carefree they are, and don't even tell me that it's not true. Heroes are carefree, which explains the incredibly high number of civilians who dies at every mysterious being attack. The Hero Association is carefree, if it wasn't the higher-ups would've already recruited a lot more heroes and they would've made sure that people would get a chance to discover their potential, for there is a hero hidden in every person who has a somewhat pure heart. And finally the civilians are carefree, if they weren't they would be a lot more cautious and wouldn't think that heroes are all powerful." Said genos, while Metal Bat chuckled.

" Ain't you carefree as well, cyborg ? I mean i'm pretty sure that you weren't a hero before joining the Hero Association. But ya clearly had the potential, didn't ya ?" Said metal bat, which made Genos scowl.

" You're right, and i hate myself for that. I was so obsessed with my quest for revenge, that i forgot the fact that i could save people. It's only after i met with a certain someone who was only a hero for fun, that i understood how stupid i had become. And now that we're talking about being carefree, why are we still talking ? You already opened the door, Child emperor right ? " asked Genos, glaring at the child.

" Teehee, well i was quite interested by what you were saying, i kinda forgot about that. Now that i think about it, Genus clearly knows that the door is open, yet there isn't any movement in the room." Said Child Emperor, his face scrunching up in confusion.

" Ha! Maybe that f.u.c.ker decided to let himself get captured! " said Metal bat, happy at the prospect of his job getting easier. He had a little sister to pick up at school, and she was gonna kill him if he was late. He may have been satisfied by this answer, but the other heroes clearly suspected something else.

" Maybe there are some traps left in his office ?" Said Superalloy Darkshine, but Genos shook his head.

" Impossible, all the traps were controlled by the computers in the room that we passed, and Child Emperor already hacked all of them. I think that there isn't any movement in the room because Dr.Genus still has something up his sleeve. But it can't be a trap, atleast not like those that we encountered when we entered the House of Evolution." Said Genos, who looked at Child Emperor when he heard the child gasp. Said child began to panic and burst the door open.

"NO NO NO!!! There isn't any movement, because the room is empty! Genus escaped!!! Search for any hidden room or tunn-" Child Emperor stopped when he saw the hole in the ground, behind Genus' desk.

"........We f.u.c.k.e.d up, didn't we ?"

*************

( Forest in front of the House of Evolution, a few minutes after)

The group of clearly disappointed heroes made their way out of the House of Evolution. They were quite surprised to see Agoni and Amai Mask standing in front of the destroyed building, a dozen of staff members behind them. Child Emperor decided to make himself discreet by hiding behind a confused Genos, who clearly didn't know what was gonna happen, contrarily to the now terrified child. And said child winced when he saw that Amai Mask was about to explode, he really didn't wanted to be the target of the man's wrath.

" Where is he ? Where is Genus ? Where in hell is the man who created demon level threats, made deals with dangerous criminal organizations, AND who's rich enough to create an entire army of monsters ready to destroy the cities full of innocent civilians ?! Because you clearly didn't let him escape since you are S-CLA.S.S HEROES!!!!" Yelled Amai Mask, veins appearing on his face, showing how angry he was. And he clearly was more angry than ever.

" WHERE THE F.U.C.K IS HE ?! I really, REALLY hope you didn't kill him or worse let him escape." Said Amai Mask trying to calm himself by taking deep breaths. Behind him, Agoni and the staff members decided to get away from the area, seeing that Genus hadn't been captured and that as such, they weren't needed. Plus they really didn't want to stay there with an infuriated Amai Mask.

Amai Mask glared at each Heroes before his eyes settled on the still sobbing Tatsumaki. Instead of snapping at her lile he usually did, he simply threw her a dirty look before looking at King.

" King, get back home. What i'm about to say doesn't really concern you. You might be lazy but with the results that you've shown, you deserve to be." Said Amai Mask ,though the tension in the air became even stronger when the king's engine began to roar.

The Heroes began to sweat, thinking that King was angered by what Amai Mask said, but the man simply nodded and walked away from the group. A few minutes of agonizing silence later, Amai Mask cracked his knuckles and smiled.

" It's time to teach you what it means to be a hero, it's not really my job but i'm gonna do it since Blast isn't here to do so. I know you will quickly forget what i'm about to say, but for your safety i strongly advise to actually listen to me. " Said Amai Mask, which confused some of the heroes who knew that while Amai Mask was strong, he wasn't strong enough to beat them all.

" don't look at me like that. I'm not as arrogant as you think, contrarily to some of you. I'm not gonna use my fists, but my words....And trust me, it's gonna hurt a lot more.
