21 Monster Nest 1

« You could've waited for us instead of running around like a dumbass. » Said Amai Mask to Blast who clearly looked to have as much interest in what Amai Mask was telling him as he had in his hair, and since they didn't exist anymore....You get the idea.

Blast had entered the building a few minutes ago and had searched for anything suspiscious inside, but had found nothing. He had then went back to the group who was standing in front of the door that lead to the storage room.

« Yeah I could've, but I didn't. Now, mind telling me why you're so interested in the storage room ? » Asked Saitama.

Looking at Saitama, Amai Maks pointed to something on the ground. A puddle of blood leaking from the door. « I think it's pretty obvious, isn't it ? ».

« Indeed, pretty obvious. And how did you notice that ? You smelled the blood ? Are you supposed to be a dog ? » Said Blast as he opened the door and stepped inside. Amai Mask trembled for a second before he followed after Blast. The A-Class Heroes looked at each other,

clearly confused, but they soon ran after Blast and Amai Mask.

The storage room was quite normal, empty and filled with dust but normal, expect for the puddles of blood that seemed to come from a huge hole at the center of the room.

« Cliche » Said Blast and Lightning Max at the same time. They both chuckled while Sneck and Death Gatling groaned. Stinger crouched in front of the hole and tried to see what lied at the bottom, but he saw nothing.

« Well this thing clearly goes deep as hell. We'll have some trouble getting to the bottom- Wait what are you..... » Said Stinger his jaw dropping as Amai Mask did something so reckless Stinger had to blink, thinking he was seeing things.

« Did he just... » Started Sneck, looking as shocked as the others.

« Yeah....He just jumped into this seemingly bottomless abyss. And I'm supposed to be the reckless dumbass here. » Said Blast.

« Well that is certainly unexpected. But I think Amai Mask is going to wait for us, so let´s hurry and find a way to.....Where's that masked guy ? » Asked Death Gatling, confused as to where Blast had gone. The guy was there a second ago, and now he had disappeared. However seeing the others' shocked looks, he quickly understood and sighed.

« Let's hurry before those two kids get killed. »

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

« Okay that really surprised me. Who would've thought there was water at the bottom ? » Asked Blast as he looked at Amai Mask who was busy styling his hair.

« Not me, that's for sure. » He said angrily. He then glared at Blast's hood before turning around.

« Any idea as to what this place could be ? It smells really weird. It's like we're surrounded by rotting corpses. » Said Blast as he pinched his nose. Amai Mask nodded and took out a small flashlight.

« Follow me. I don't want you to get lost. You are the type to get angry really fast. » Said Amai Mask, which earned him a snort from Blast.

« Look who's talking. » Said Blast as he rolled his eyes. Amai Mask ignored him and walked forward. Both he and Blast were quite surprised when they suddenly entered a gigantic room. It was clearly not abandoned contrarily to the hospital. However like in the hospital there was a lot of body bags. At the center of the room a huge round rock could be seen. It looked normal except for a single element that caught Bora's eyes.

' Okay now it's becoming weird really fast.' Thought Blast as he looked at the red crystal stuck in the rock.

Amai Mask and Blast started to explore the room, but found nothing noteworthy. The corpses in the body bags were some of the people who had been kidnapped, but the others were unknowns. After a while the others joined them and were all shocked to see the corpses that littered the room. Stinger looked sick while Sneck bit his lips.

However all heroes were then shocked by something else. The sound of footsteps could be heard, as well as roars that were unlike anything the heroes had ever heard. It was like a mix of a lion's roar and an Elephant's trumpet.

Amai Mask grabbed Stinger and Lightning Max and jumped on the ground, amongst the corpses that they had taken out of the body bags. Blast and the others ran back to the tunnel that had lead them and stayed hidden in the shadows. Suddenly a door opened and a group of...Things entered. Like the reports stated, they were human-like monsters. Unlike humanoid monsters, they looked like monster parts where forcefully put on them. Some looked like mixes of animals hand humans, while others were just humans with unnatural skin colours and some extra limbs. However they all had a similarity, they didn't talk, instead they made weird sounds.

The group wasn't entirely composed of those monsters, a human was amongst them. He was walking with a huge smile on his face, humming as he and the monsters approached the rock.

When they were in front of it, the leader of the group, a grey man with bat wings, ripped the crystal out of the rock and placed it on the human man's forehead.

« Yes, Yessss~ » Sang the man, as the crystal vibrated and burned his skin. However it suddenly stopped as a look of horror appeared on the man's face.

« What ? No,no, no!!!!! » Screamed the man before he dropped to the ground, dead. And the heroes looked in shock as the monsters dumped him with the others corpses, and left the room. But not before the leader placed the crystal back in the rock.

« ........ »

« What. The. Hell. Was. That ? » Asked Stinger in a low voice.

« I don't know, but we're soon gonna find out. »
