15 CH.15

AT LAST! I'M FREEEEEE!" cried out the creature.

In full view, the creature was terrifying looking. He was about fifteen feet tall and looked humanoid in nature. At the same time, he resembled that of a beetle, with a thick exoskeleton and a large horn on his head that resembled that of a rhinoceros beetle.

"I AM CARNAGE KABUTO!" The monster cried out. "LONG AGO I DID BATTLE WITH A GREAT HERO THAT WENT BY THE NAME ALL MIGHT. HOWEVER, HIS STRENGTH WAS SUPERIOR TO MINE AND I HAD TO GO INTO HIBERNATION! NOW I'M FREE!"

Tatsumaki was unimpressed. She was also not fazed by the monster's size or voice in the slightest bit. But when he turned his attention at her, he had a sickening grin on his face.

"LITTLE GIRL, ARE THE ONE THAT FREED MEEEE?!"

"Little girl?!" Tatsumaki yelled angrily. It was in this her moment that she threw Genos away like he was trash. "Who you calling little?! I'm fourteen, you creep!"

The esper then activated her quirk. It was obvious when the ground began to shake with some parts of the earth in the crater beginning to rise. However, before Tatsumaki could go on, a sense of fatigue washed over her and made her to stop her quirk.

"Ah shit…" Tatsumaki said in mild frustration. She then rubbed her forehead. "Damn…fighting that cyborg with not enough sleep is getting on me. I guess I can't fight for now." Thus, she then turned to the monster. "Hey, you! Don't think this is over! When we meet again, I'll kill you, got it?!"

The monster madly grinned. "YOU SOUND CONFIDENT. I LIKE THAT!"

Tatsumaki had nothing else to say about that. She had already made up her mind and as such flew off by her quirk. This was a surprise to Genos as he lay on the ground in a defeated form. But then, it would appear his presence caught the attention of Kabuto, who walked over to him with that grin on his face.

"WELL…WELL…WELL! LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE!" Kabuto said. "THE GIRL IS STRONG, ISN'T SHE? I COULD SENSE THE GREAT POWER IN HER! OH I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER AGAIN AND FIGHT TO MY HEART'S CONTENT! BUT UNTIL THEN, I GUESS I'LL JUST END YOUR MISERABLE LIFE RIGHT HERE!"

Genos said nothing back. He did show a scowl on what was left of his face. However, there was no stopping Kabuto now. He lifted his leg up and was so close to crushing the defeated cyborg.

'I'm sorry, doctor…' He thought with regret. 'I failed you…Forgive me.'

It was clear by Genos's thoughts that he had given up on his life. Kabuto was close to crushing him, however something outstanding happened. A loud boom was heard followed by the monster suddenly exploding into pieces.

"Huh? What?!" Genos expressed in shock.

"Oi…You okay?" asked a male voice.

Genos struggled to turn his head to the direction of the voice. He could see at that direction that there were pieces of the proud monster that once stood. As for the one responsible, he revealed himself to be bald young man in a yellow, white and red jumpsuit,

"I got an alert of a fight going on here." said Saitama. "I'm guessing I came a little late huh?"

Genos smiled a bit. "No…You saved me."

"Oh…cool." Saitama commented.

"Hey…can I ask you something?"

Saitama became a bit curious and drew close to the defeated cyborg. But before he could ask what it was, Genos went ahead and said it.

"Can I be…your disciple?"

"Eh…?"

Saitama suddenly felt like a part of him crashed.
