Hello everyone! I am BTR100 and this is the first chapter of my new fanfic, ONE PUNCH MAN: MORE THAN S-CLASS

After a pretty long hiatus and...getting a weird addiction to anime, I decided to come back and write this little fic of mine...coincidentally during the VERY LAST DAY of our Semester Break. Well then.

Well, I hope you guys enjoy it. This will be a huge fic, and it'll span the events of the anime...maybe some parts of the manga too. But after that, it'll be my imagination. Hope it doesn't suck too much. hahahaha.

Peace! - BTR100

ONE PUNCH MAN
MORE THAN S-CLASS

CHAPTER ONE
The Subterranean Attack

It was an attack like no other. A disaster that no one could have ever perceived, predicted or even expected. It was chaos. A pandemonium that shook absolutely everything and everyone. The Hero Association can only take the damages done from all over as they desperately attempt to neutralize the threat.

But the problem was exactly that. The threat was located from all around the world, ravaging and laying waste on Cities A up until Z. And the Association could only rely on so many heroes. With the limited pool of extraordinary men and women with supernatural powers, even the human armed forces and police organizations had to take the front, but they can only do so much to damage the threat and were limited to civilian evacuation and rescue. All divisions of the military and police were deployed, from Special Forces up until the Emergency Army Divisions.

The thing is, the threat was more than one monster.

It was an army with intentions to take over the world.

And with the way things are going, it seems that the monsters' dreams would finally come true. Their intentions fulfilled. Goals completed.

But the human population weren't the ones to back down from their fight.

The Hero Association had their heroes classified into four, ranging from weakest to strongest: C-Class, B-Class, A-Class and S-Class. The C-Class heroes were limited only to support the police and military in evacuation, search and rescue. The B-Class heroes did nothing more than to stall the threat in given locations in order to buy time until heroes from the Class A or S would arrive to eliminate the threat.

The problem of the Hero Association though, is that only the S-Class heroes can even eliminate a group of the monsters. The A-Class heroes, excluding Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask, can do nothing but damage and injure the nuisances as they buy time for the S-Class heroes to arrive.

And if it doesn't make the problem any worse, the Hero Association only had 16 registered S-Class Heroes.

And only 14 of them were fighting off the threat.

Listing them from the lowest up until the highest rank, these heroes are:

S-Class Hero RANK 16: PURI PURI PRISONER

Puri-Puri-Prisoner is a large muscular man with a stubbly, cleft chin, large lips and black bushy hair. He has a well-defined jawline and light blue eyes with long eyelashes. He wears a traditional prison jumpsuit with white and blue stripes. A powerful individual gifted with Enhanced Strength, Speed, which increases apparently when he's naked.

S-Class Hero RANK 15: METAL BAT

Metal Bat is a young man with black hair styled in a pompadour and dark eyes that emphasize his hot temper. He wears black hakama pants and black gakuran, which he drapes over his red long-sleeved turtleneck. He has a metal bat as his fighting equipment, the reason for his name, and with his bat comes his Strength, Speed and Durability. For someone who's good-looking like him, one would be surprised on the blows he can tank.

S-Class Hero RANK 14: TANKTOP MASTER

Leader of the Tank Topper Army, Tank Top Master is a very tall, muscular man with short, dark blonde hair and brown eyes. Much like other Tank Topper Army members, he wears a blue tank top and long green pants. Again, his powers include superhuman strength and speed.

S-Class Hero RANK 13: FLASHY FLASH

Flashy Flash is a young man with feminine features, sharp blue eyes and long, ice blonde hair with his bangs brushed to the right side of his face. He wears a dark blue bodysuit with a long white cape over it. He adorns himself with two eight-pointed stars on either side of his head and on his cape. As for his powers, he is much more speedy than he is strong, as referenced by his name.

S-Class Hero RANK 12: WATCHDOG MAN

Watchdog Man is a young-looking man with a blank and uninterested look on his face and dresses in a full-body dog suit with a red collar, with his face showing where the dog's mouth should be. With immense strength and speed, he is renowned for eliminating Mysterious Beings faster than any other hero.

S-Class Hero RANK 11: SUPERALLOY DARKSHINE

Superalloy Darkshine is a very tall, dark-skinned man with noticeably large lips, round dark eyes and thick eyebrows. He is very muscular with well-defined pectoral and abdominal muscles. He also has a thick neck. His only attire is a single piece of black underwear. Once again, he is another hero of immense superhuman strength.

S-Class Hero RANK 10: PIG GOD

Pig God is a large, obese man with several layers of fat. He has short brown hair, big lips and wears a long-sleeved green shirt. Now, he has a power different from most heroes, as his ability includes inhuman digestion, meaning that he can eat pretty much anything and everything if he wanted to. However, for a guy his size, he can be quite fast.

S-Class Hero RANK 9: DRIVE KNIGHT

Drive Knight is a black-haired man wearing a white mask with a single red shining eye and three small vertical holes where his mouth should be. His armor is rather simplistic, being similar to black knights' armor. He faces his enemies with a shape-changing box that he uses to fuse with his own body in order to create weapons suitable for the situation.

S-Class Hero RANK 8: ZOMBIE MAN

Zombieman is a young man with scruffy black hair, red eyes, and pale skin. He wears a worn out, open grey coat over his black singlet with tan pants and a thick brown belt. Aside from enhanced strength and agility, he lives to his zombified nature with the powers of regeneration, being the result of a successful experimentation from the House of Evolution.

S-Class Hero RANK 6: METAL KNIGHT

A scientist known as Bofoi, he fights not using his muscle but his brain. Using his technological prowess, he fights Mysterious Beings with his Battle Suit capable of flight with a large amount of firepower attached.

S-Class Hero RANK 5: CHILD EMPEROR

Child Emperor is a young boy with short brown hair and large amber eyes. He wears a light blue buttoned up collared shirt with dark blue short and orange sneakers along with a black school bag on his back. Along with Metal Knight, he possesses genius intellect, and even worked once for the scientist before.

S-Class Hero RANK 4: ATOMIC SAMURAI

Atomic Samurai has long black hair tied in a topknot with dark eyes and a prominent jawline.

He has a small goatee and is usually seen chewing on a blade of grass. His attire consists of a hooded red cloak with an atom symbol on the back that's draped over his open black haori. Beneath the haori is a traditional, loose-fitting white robe tied with a white sash and two haori himos. He also sports a pair of swords in his waist tied on his left hip. With strength that is allegedly nuclear-powered, he is a deadly samurai that can leave his enemies sliced to pieces before they can even react.

S-Class Hero RANK 3: SILVER FANG

Also known as Bang, he has the appearance of an old man with light blue eyes with white-spiky hair, thick eyebrows and a thick mustache and has slightly tan skin. He wears a long sleeved black shirt, light colored pants and Kung fu shoes. Despite his age and appearance he has a very muscular body with many scars. A master in martial arts, and creator of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, he is an old man that should not be taken lightly.

S-Class Hero RANK 2: TORNADO OF TERROR

The only lady of the S-Class known as Tatsumaki, she is a petite 28 year old woman, commonly mistaken for being much younger than she really is. She has a youthful face with emerald green eyes and hair that curls up on the ends. She wears a formfitting black dress with long sleeves and four high-cut leg slits that show off her legs and low-heeled black shoes.

Absent from all the action are S-CLASS RANK 7 KING and S-CLASS RANK ONE BLAST. This did not go without complaints from some of the Hero Association staffs.

"Oh sure, the world is practically meeting its end right now, and the Strongest Man Alive and our Rank One hero is nowhere to be seen!" complained one staff member.

"Shut up! Are you finished with that stupid threat assessment yet?" shouted another employee.

"Hmmm let's see. Well let's see, oh yeah, IT'S A FUCKING GOD-LEVEL WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT?" came the screaming reply.

"W-WHAT!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?"

''As we speak, already seventy percent of all humanity has perished." Came a calm reply. The workers and employees then momentarily stopped whatever they were doing to take a look at the source of the voice, who was revealed to be Sitch, the Heroes Association's Lead Coordinator.

''Whatever this threat is, certainly it is more than a God-level threat. We have to do with whatever we can and whatever we have, so shut your mouths and do your works!'' screamed the middle-aged man.

''SIR YES SIR!'' exclaimed all of the Association Employees, before swiftly going back to their work in fear and total panic. Papers were flying, people were bumping with each other in such a rush, and distress calls practically begging for help and reinforcements were heard all around the Heroes' Association Main Headquarters.

Sitch shook his head and gave a tired sigh, as he was looking at a large screen, showing a large map of the world, with the scanners showing enemy signatures everywhere. With the S-Class Heroes' effort, many of the enemy signatures are swiftly disappearing, but as fast as they vanish, the faster they reappear. Whatever the enemy was, they were facing an overpopulation problem far worse than humanity. There were a lot of them.

However, that did not bother Sitch. What bothered him though, was the fact that majority of the enemy forces are closing in on Z-City. It's as if something was attracting them there. Disturbing Sitch was the fact that whatever it is that was attracting the monsters to Z-City, it was completely halting them.

He noticed the enemy signatures on Z-City disappearing and reappearing quickly. Practically the entire Z-City was covered with enemy signatures.

And the senior coordinator soon realized that ALL of the S-Class Heroes that were present in the battle were fighting mere leftovers of the overall threat. The heroes only disturbed small portions that were on their way to Z-City.

''What in the world could be attracting these things and…and…completely STOPPING them?''

Something was not right, he had to get the situation investigated.

"Superalloy Darkshine! No more enemies in my area. Any place else?" a voice came drifting in. Sitch frowned as he glanced at the scanners.

"Darkshine, Stinger's group are being overwhelmed at L-City. I'll send you air support to get you there.'' Sitch replied, pressing several buttons as he gave the coordinates to the nearest quick reaction force that can pick up the hero.

"Alright. K-City's situation is taken care of. Where to next?'' Metal Bat's voice asked through the speakers. Sitch looked at the monitors of his table, before seeing the distress call signatures near J-City.

"J-City needs reinforcements. Mumen Rider just sent a distress signal, and he needs it fast! Sending you the nearest QRF to give you a ride." the senior coordinator replied, tapping several buttons as he gave out coordinates for Metal Bat's ride.

''What's the ETA? I'm not sure the guy can wait 5 minutes.'' the bat-wielding hero then asked.

''Maybe he can wait 15 seconds.'' Sitch replied.

''That'll do.'' the voice came before the transmissions went off.

As soon as communications with Metal Bat ceased, another one came in almost immediately.

''Watchdog Man. Q-City is okay now. Don't worry, I can leave the city for a while. Where can I help?'' came the nonchalant voice that sounded almost bored.

''Ahh yes! Fubuki's group needs immediate reinforcements at C-City! Think you can get there ASAP?''

''Fubuki? You mean Tatsumaki's sister? It'll be awkward but alright. I'm on my way now.'' came the emotionless reply before communications ceased, with Sitch seeing Watchdog Man's signature move swiftly across the map.

As Watchdog Man went off, Sitch looked at the situation. The enemy signatures in the remaining cities were slowly but surely diminishing, with no signs of reappearances. Now that may seem like good news, but to Sitch, it wasn't since the enemy forces were ignoring the S-Class heroes more and more and stubbornly pushing their way towards Z-City, wherein the situation is still the same: the entire city is covered with a blanket of enemy signatures and in the center of it all, something is still tirelessly stopping them to a complete halt.

"What the hell can be so powerful in Z-City that these guys are attracted to?" Sitch asked to no one in particular.

His train of thoughts however, derailed when a familiar female voice blared out on the comms.

''Got anything better? W-City is done.'' Came the voice of the Tornado of Terror, S-Class Rank 2 Tatsumaki.

Tatsumaki's in W-City! She's the nearest one to whatever is attracting these guys in City Z! She's Rank 2, she can take care of herself. The other heroes are far too busy.

It should be easy for her to locate the thing…or the one who's attracting these monsters.

When Sitch had composed himself, he gave the female esper a reply.

''Ms. Tatsumaki! I hate to break it to you, but something is attracting these guys at Z-City and whatever it is, it's completely halting these monsters. The entire Heroes' Association has been fighting nothing but leftovers!''

''WHAT!? STOP JOKING AROUND!'' the esper shouted in disbelief.

''I'm not joking Ms. Tatsumaki! Not even Metal Knight, who's having a plain disregard to civilian casualties right now, is not doing as much damage as the guy in Z-City!''

''So you mean to tell me that we've been dealing with nothing but extras?'' the esper was obviously already annoyed and could not agree to such news.

It's hard when you're too full of yourself, thought Sitch.

''Yes.'' was the calm and simple reply.

''Hmph. Fine. What do you want me to do?''

Sitch almost laughed. Giving out a soft snicker, he pondered on how obvious the answer to her question is. However, he quickly recomposed himself and gave the esper her much-awaited reply.

''Head out to City Z and have a check on who the hell is facing the major bulk of these guys. Give me a report on what you see. Attack only when necessary, I repeat. ATTACK ONLY WHEN NECESSARY.''

''Don't tell me what to do. I can clean up City Z if I wanted to. But I'd be more than happy to find out whatever the hell is strong enough to fight ten times more than what the entire Association has been taken care of,'' The 28 year old arrogantly replied, before cutting off the transmission.

Sitch then looked at the screen to see Tatsumaki's signature quickly heading for City Z.

The Association Justice Minister was already sweating heavily. City Z would be the place where this war was won or lost. And he would like to find whatever the hell is taking out the brunt of this devastating attack. If he or she is not a hero, then he'd make them one and get them straight to S-Class. If they are a registered hero, then he'd push their ranks all the way to the top five of S-Class. They needed more S-Class as the world gets crazier and crazier each passing day.

To think that over 70% of humanity is already lost in just one day. That's something the Hero Association has to take into consideration.

In fact, they needed not just more S-Class heroes, Sitch realized.

…

…

…

They needed more heroes.

With her legendary psychokinetic powers, Tatsumaki already flew and made her way from W-City to Z-City in almost an instant. With a green aura enveloping her body, she proceeded to make her way flying atop of an eight story building where she got a good view of the impeding battle in progress.

Telling herself the truth and hiding it from others in the form of arrogant display and boasts, Tatsumaki admitted that these monsters, known as the Subterraneans, were incredibly tough. Even for the legendary rank two S-Class esper of the Heroes Association, the beasts from underground gave her a hard time. Against a mere fifty of them, Tatsumaki barely made it out of her battle alive.

Much to her surprise, the subterranean beasts have high resistance to psychic powers, so taking one out was already a heavy chore for even an esper of high level. How underground people have psychic resistance, she didn't have a clue. But she took care of them nonetheless, saying that if she can't lift them, then just stab them with some debris and just move on. However, the beasts were quick and…tough. A single punch from them was enough to break her psychic barrier, so her battle was focused on mainly dodging their attacks – which was difficult to do since it was an entire horde – and then finding an opportunity to take them down with some sort of debris.

With that, she barely made it out alive.

Just barely.

She remembered the beasts' goal as she was fighting them. During their fight, the horrid freaks of nature rattled on about their overpopulation problem underground, how they were the true ''earthlings'' and their goals of settling their dilemma by invading and taking over the surface.

She knows she can't stop them. Not on her own.

But she knows also one other thing.

The Hero Association can't stop this. There's just too many.

As Tatsumaki thought about the Association's dilemma, she was watching the fight from above. The streets of Z-City were littered with mountains of corpses of the subterranean beasts that were so dense that reinforcements had to crawl through the dead bodies just to reach the surface, and left and right she would just see blood, meat and bones just scattered all over the remaining buildings of the city. From time to time, she had to dodge bodies that were flying in the air, said bodies being already dismembered and mutilated.

But what really caught the esper's attention is the man who was the center of it all.

As far as her eye can see, the reason for all the dead subterraneans is a simple, bald man who wore nothing but tattered pajamas patterned in blue and white stripes. Tatsumaki couldn't believe her eyes at the strength of the individual, who was surrounded by the underground beasts charging towards him from all around and the man would just take care of each of them with merely a single strike.

What is this strength? Was the only question running through Tatsumaki's mind right now.

She then witnessed a subterranean that was five stories high swiftly approach the man, hoping to strike him with a devastating blow.

But one punch.

One punch from the man was all that's needed to transform the humongous beast into an explosion of meat, bones and blood.

And the legendary esper could do nothing but just gawk at the sight.

And the man would repeat this over and over again. It seems that he wasn't even breaking a single sweat. With ridiculous ease, the man would swiftly take down the beasts one by one, and not even Tatsumaki can imagine it, but it seems that each punch was getting stronger and stronger; the force of one punch strong enough to apparently annihilate a dozen of the beasts if the esper wasn't mistaken in counting. However, even the esper was convinced that it was more than a dozen.

"HQ, do you copy?" the esper whispered, clearly awed.

''We hear you Tornado of Terror. Now what do you see?'' Sitch demanded.

''It's one guy. As in just a single guy. He's crushing them…annihilating them even worse than how Sweet Mask crushes aspiring rookies from the A-Class who wants to be an S-Class or how Snek crushes B-Class newbies.'' Tatsumaki said, as the bald man once again destroyed most likely a hundred subteranneans with swift, ridiculous ease.

''Do you recognize him? Can you tell us some details about this man?'' Sitch asked, sounding as if he was desperate to get the answer from the esper.

''He's wearing ripped pajamas…and he's bald. But other than that, he's someone I don't know. Are you sure this guy's not Blast!?'' the 28-year old exclaimed.

''No, that's definitely not the S-Class Rank One Blast.'' Sitch replied, slowly but surely regaining his calm demeanor.

''Where the hell is he though!? The world is literally in jeopardy and yet he doesn't show up! What the hell!?'' the esper practically screamed through her comms.

''Even we're not sure, Ms. Tatsumaki, but I'm somewhat delighted to tell you that all the subterraneans from every other city have been neutralized and dealt with. Would you like us to send them there to clean up Z-City?''

The Tornado of Terror then looked once again and observed the chaos below. The man was still not showing literally any signs of exhaustion. And after easily taking care of four large beasts from underground, the esper saw the man clench his right hand into a fist so hard that veins are apparent all over his arm. Pulling his arm back, the man then proceeded to lay waste on the large subterranean behind him, but either with his intentions or not, that single punch of his was enough to not only blow up the beast's body, but also destroy a ridiculously large part of the city BEHIND the monstrous being. All the esper saw was a flash coming from the victimized monster's body, then all of a sudden, a large explosion followed, forcing Tatsumaki to stop some debris coming her way with her psychic power.

When the large cloud of dust and smoke had settled, the next thing she saw was a large crater that was formed in a shape of a really wide, straight line. The crater was deep, and replaced the buildings that used to stand there.

And the very next thing the esper saw, was the bald man once again destroying another of the underground beings like nothing even happened.

The Tornado of Terror was speechless.

''Tornado! What the hell's going on out there! Why did a large portion of Z-City got destroyed!? I'm sending the other S-Class Heroes right NOW!'' Sitch's voice shouted, to which snapped Tatsumaki back to her senses just so she can reply.

''NO! Don't send them here! They'll just get in the way!'' the esper exclaimed.

''And how's that!?'' demanded Sitch.

"If they're having difficulties in taking out a mere 30 or 50, they won't last five minutes with over a MILLION!'' the psychic defended.

Sitch then widened his eyes, realizing the esper's point. Looking at the screen, he saw that the enemy signatures in Z-City decreased to a substantial amount and none were spawning on the awfully large crater the bald man made. With the other heroes remaining stationary in their respective cities, the senior officer pondered on what to do.

It wasn't long before he thought of his next decision.

''Can someone give me even just an estimated number of the beasts in City Z right now!?'' Sitch demanded, momentarily turning off comms with Tatsumaki.

It wasn't long before he got a reply.

''Sir, I've been keeping track of the number the past hour, and the numbers are astounding. Right now, there are over fifty million of these beasts in the area...and the number that were neutralized?'' an Association employee said, pausing as he pressed some buttons and confirmed the data on his tracker.

Sitch awaited, before the employee revealed the number.

''Over 500 million.''

The entire HQ gasped at the employee's revelation, many of which are speechless and most are just dumbfounded to even process the information they just heard. Sitch was awed at the number, but the old man that he was, even he had doubts.

''HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!? FOR THAT NUMBER OF BEASTS TO FIT IN Z-CITY!?''

''Honestly sir, I don't know myself. But if I were you sir, I would follow Tornado's advice. Even if we combine every single hero that the Association has, they would be annihilated within 3 minutes. We have to trust that man Tornado is witnessing, and when we have confirmed his identity, we just have to make him a hero and get him straight to S-Class.'' came the advice of the Association worker.

Sitch then once again set his eyes within the screen, noticing the huge decrease in enemy signatures within Z-City that happened during his short conversation with an associate.

The middle-aged man could only sigh, before setting his comms to all the heroes at bay – all except Tatsumaki.

''Attention all heroes! Good job in neutralizing the threat. Rest assured, the Hero Association is very proud of your efforts. Please proceed to either your Heroes Association branch to rest or in the nearest evacuation centers in order to give treatment to wounded civilians and such. When everything is settled and done, expect all of your ranks to be higher.'' the coordinator boomed, before he heard various cheers of joy and excitement, each hero feeling proud of their efforts today.

Sitch smiled for a moment, before quickly returning to the situation at hand and setting his communicator to speak with Tatsumaki.

''Tornado of Terror! How is the situation going over there, over?'' Sitch calmly questioned.

Back at Z-City, Tatsumaki was still flying with her psychic power and watching the bald man's battle with the army of Subterraneans, to where the situation is pretty much the same: the bald man was still laying waste on the monstrous army with intentions of taking over the world. The esper was astonished at the bald man's stamina, as he is showing absolutely no signs of fatigue after destroying over a million of the beasts.

The esper was simply just amazed on the fact that not even the Hero Association knows the bald man with seemingly limitless power.

Is this guy even a registered hero? I…don't think he is…

The man continued his assault, before throwing another punch so powerful that it caused over a hundred Subterranean beasts to explode all at once when it was meant for only one of the monsters, creating an explosion of blood and mincemeat that reached six stories high.

What is this guy? Is he even….human?

''Huh?'' the esper said out of wonder, as the bald man suddenly took a giant leap that shot him right towards the sky, the leap being so powerful that the jump left a shockwave that sent thousands of the monstrous beasts flying everywhere and forming yet another crater. The psychic then noticed the man stopping in mid-air, the bald powerhouse quickly taking a good aerial view below him.

The esper managed to get a good look at the tank. The man absolutely had no injuries whatsoever, and was merely covered in dirt and dust. The pants of his pajamas were surprisingly still intact, showing off his impressively built abdominals and arms. What got the psychic's attention though, were the man's eyes.

They were full of life.

As if…

They were burning with fire-hot passion…

With a smirk that looked cocky to the esper, the psychic would finally hear the man's voice scream:

''CONSECUTIVE NORMAL PUNCHES!''

As the man exclaimed his attack, he performed a series of lightning fast chain of punches – all from only his right fist. The succession of the attack was so quick, Tatsumaki could barely see his arm moving at all.

Before the esper could even react, she looked down, and saw the entire city – and all of the Subterraneans in it – slowly being enveloped in a bright flash of light. The psychic then noticed the powerhouse who finished performing his attack, and staying in mid-air…as if time slowed down and he was waiting for something to happen…

What is happening?

What the hell did he just do?

Why is everything being shiny now?

And most importantly…

…

…

…

…

…

Did I HEAR this right?

Consecutive….NORMAL Punches?

…

…

…

…

…

…

..

What the fu-

The esper's train of thoughts then crashed as a giant explosion suddenly took over the entire metropolis of Z-City. As if on instinct, she quickly reacted and created a psychic barrier all over herself, with the explosion reaching high into the sky, and at the last second before the esper was engulfed in flames, she also noticed the bald man being caught by the explosion.

The psychic barrier was enough to shield the esper from the flames and force of the explosion, but it was so strong that even the legendary S-Class Rank Two struggled to keep the barrier intact.

It took a while, but it wasn't long before the explosion finally ceased. The esper gave it a minute or two to allow the smoke and dust to dissipate. Once it did, the esper could only gasp on what she saw…

The thriving metropolis that was once known as Z-City…was completely erased from existence…

The buildings and skyscrapers that once covered and scattered all throughout the landscape…had disappeared and was replaced by a crater.

Yes. The ENTIRETY of Z-City is now a crater.

Still reeling in from the shock and awe, Tatsumaki did not even realize that she had lowered her flight and that she had settled on the ground, as she took a minute to process everything that just happened.

But if Tatsumaki knows one thing…

It's that the bald man was at fault…

As she looked on the now deserted land in front of her, it was as if in an instant, the bald man came crashing down from the sky, making his descent from his mid-air attack – and his descent was anything BUT a good landing. As soon as he made impact with the ground, a small crater was found, causing a shockwave that sent stone and hundreds of debris flying all around. The powerhouse landed perhaps three meters away from Tatsumaki, the esper being forced to shield herself from the debris with her psychic barrier.

It took a while but when the dust had settled, Tatsumaki almost immediately lowered her shield and in her view was the bald man who had completely laid waste on Z-City.

The esper saw the man's expression. Stoic. Emotionless.

And in Tornado's point of view, it's as if the man could care less about the things he'd just done.

Clenching her fist, Tornado's body was covered in a shiny green aura, thinking about nothing but attacking the man. But the man caught her with surprise as he spoke out loud with such simplicity and boredom:

''Hey kid. How long have you been standing there?''

Kid?

Kid!

KID!?

The bald man's statement angered Tatsumaki to the point that her eyes were replaced by a green glow, as she hardened the clench of her fists. The man retained his bored, deadpanned look though, but had his mouth slightly agape as he was surprised by Tatsumaki's sudden rage.

''Hey, you alright?'' the man asked.

However, after the annihilation of Z-City and the bald man's (unintentional) insult, Tatsumaki was more than alright.

''OH YOU WON'T BE AFTER I'M DONE WITH-'' she screamed, but was interrupted when something huge erupted out of the ground just five meters away behind the bald human tank.

It was another Subterranean monster. And it was larger than any monster that Tatsumaki had fought before. It was larger than what the Hero Association classified as ''Large''. The green glow on the esper's eyes disappeared, and she took a couple steps back, as the man she was supposed to face turned around to get a look on the new threat. Unlike the others, the Subterranean had four arms instead of two and held in each arm were swords made out of pure red energy. The giant being's three, flaming purple eyes all locked onto the bald powerhouse.

''I see that you've taken good care of my children.'' the giant monster's voice boomed. Tatsumaki gasped while the man clenched his fists, and unbeknownst to the esper, the bald man was smiling confidently yet again.

''For the longest time, my kind have been facing a dreading problem of overpopulation. I thought that our home underneath the crust of this planet would be large enough for all of us to last a lifetime…but I was wrong…oh how I was wrong. I've seen my children grow, and I've seen their power…and when the time was right, I commenced an invasion against the surface dwellers…to TAKE IT FOR OURSELVES AND EXERCISE OUR STATUS AS THE TRUE EARTHLINGS!''

As the gigantic beast was making its introduction, the bald man yawned and scratched his ear out of boredom, before crossing his arms and letting the beast continue its rambling.

''Never in my life have I witnessed a single earthling lay waste upon ALL of my children. With such power, I was certain that we would invade the planet without fail. But with YOU destroying EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY KIND…OF MY CHILDREN… ''

Raising all of its arms, and stepping out of the hole it emerged from, the giant subterranean formed a fighting stance that showed off all of its swords made out of pure, hot red energy.

''Then I, the Subterranean KING, will take you on!'' the monstrous being boomed, before raising all of its sword and slamming all four of them unto the bald man, but the man – seeming re-energized and once again excited at his new enemy – only spent one punch to destroy all of the Subterranean King's swords. However, the enemy was left unscathed by this fact, and instead brought his upper right hand in an attempt to hit the man.

But the man had already made a giant leap towards the gigantic being, before drawing back his left arm, and landing a direct blow from his fist right at the monster's belly.

One punch.

One Punch was all that's needed to end the battle.

The single, nonchalant punch of the man was more than enough to convert the Subterranean leader to mincemeat and blood, but with the force of his blow, the ground below the monstrous being up until where Tatsumaki is suddenly cracked, and before the esper could even realize it, another explosion of dirt and rocks once again occurred and this time, the esper wasn't fast enough to protect herself, being sent flying backwards with several large stones hitting her, before she crashed on the ground with a thump and was sent rolling for a few seconds before stopping.

When the dust and smoke had settled, there stood the bald man, standing in the middle of the mangled, mutilated corpse of the Subterranean King. Said bald man was staring at his left fist, which was releasing steam caused from the impact of the punch.

''Oh. That sucked. I kinda had my hopes up too…'' the bald man muttered to no one in particular. He then heard groaning, and the man then shifted his attention from his fist to Tatsumaki, who was struggling to stand herself up not too far from him.

Quickly responding, the man ran up towards the esper, grabbing the back of her knees and the back of her neck, now carrying her in a bridal position. The man was then shocked to see the girl's clothes ripped, her stomach and arms riddled with cuts.

''H-hey! Are you alright!?'' the man exclaimed. The man then noticed blood right below the esper, her cuts being so deep that blood was actually flowing out.

With that, the psychic hero weakly opened her eyes to see her savior, which was none other than the bald man she was watching from afar. She attempted to open her lips to say words, but after a failed attempt, she drifted into unconsciousness.

''O-oh! Uhhh…uhh…'' the bald hero was starting to panic, looking around to see and finally realize that Z-City was anything but existing.

''Dammit.'' He muttered, before looking at the esper and saying:

''Hold on tight.''

The man then proceeded to run so fast that he managed to get from where City Z was to City B's Hospital in a matter of seconds. The man doesn't even know what city he's in, but he decided to stop by City B as it was the one he saw with the least amount of damages.

Running inside the hospital, he went to the desk to where the clerk and several nurses were.

''Uhhh, can you help this girl? I think some rocks hit her too hard…'' the man calmly explained.

The staff gasped when they saw the girl lying in the man's arms.

''Oh my god! It's THE Tornado of Terror!''

''What, are you for real!?''

''What happened to her!?''

''What kind of monster did she fight!?''

''Quick! Someone get a bed!''

And as quickly as possible, two nurses went near the bald man. One was pushing a hospital bed and placed it just in front of the powerhouse, while the other one carried Tatsumaki from the man's arms and settled her down the bed. Just as the man turned around with intentions of going home, he felt someone tugged his pants, and he turned around…only to see the esper he has yet to know.

''W-wait…who…who the hell are you?''

The esper then released her hold from the man's pants as she waited for his response.

It wasn't very long though, until the man gave what she was looking for.

''Oh. I'm Saitama.''

So yeah. Basically, imagine this fic is the anime, but the dream is real and some scenes will be modified.

Oh and I'm sorry in advance if some ideas were coincidentally the same as other stories. I'm telling you, I have yet to read a single fanfic about One Punch Man.

So yeah. 70 percent of all humanity is now dead. But you'll be surprised on how normal everything will be afterwards. Seriously, how does the population in the OPM keep itself in check with all the monster attacks?

Anyways. Leave a review, and suggestions to improve the story!

Thanks! ^_^
