One Punch Man: Hero's Harem

Chapter 18: Games at the Dojo

Pain.

That was all Kogane felt at the moment as she lay on the ground, her eyes screwed shut as she hugged her bleeding side. She would've noticed that some of her hair was now gone, but she had other things to worry about.

"Quiet the quick reflexes."

Namely the fact that whoever had attacked her was slowly approaching.

"You managed to push the other monster out of the way of my attack." Bang said as he stared down at her. "Guess my age is starting to catch up to me."

The moment she saw him, her body tremble more from fear than pain. Her eyes widened, her breathing stopped, and sweat began to pour out of her.

"Y-You're...the Class-S Hero!" she heard Mizuki say. "Silverfang!"

"Indeed. My apologies for interfering with your fight, Captain Mizuki." the old hero apologized. "I thought you could use a hand."

'What's this guy doing here?!' Beast Queen thought as she stared at the scene in horror. So much was happening that she didn't know what was the worst. In the front was one of her friends lying on the ground bleeding, a Class-S Hero standing over her. Behind her was another friend, a hero as well, who was standing and sweating in terror as well. She couldn't blame her for her reaction. If Mizuki does nothing, then Kogane and I are dead. And if she does something, it may lead to her being seen as an enemy to humanity, and Kogane and I still die!'

Thinking quickly, she slowly backed away in fear before bumping into a still shocked Mizuki. Her eyes widened as an idea came to mind. A very bad one, but it was better than nothing. While Bang prepared to finish Kogane off, she turned around, scooped Mizuki up into her arms, and now had the Class-B Hero by the throat

"BACK OFF!" she roared as Mizuki struggled under her grasp. "OTHERWISE, I'LL BREAK HER NECK!"

Bang stopped and looked up at them, his eyes hardening at the lionness monster.

"Grk!" Mizuki gasped out. "W-What are you-"

"Shut up and play along!"

Mizuki stopped her struggling when she realized that not only did Beast Queen sound scared, but she wasn't even squeezing her neck really hard.

"Here's the deal!" she growled at Bang. "You've got my friend. I've got a fellow hero. I'd rather she didn't get killed, and I'm betting you feel the same about her."

"You wish for a trade?" Bang asked.

"That's right." Beast Queen grinned. "So, how about-"

SPLURT!

Beast Queen's eyes widened in shock as Bang disappeared. Mizuki did as well before Beast Queen's arms suddenly started to slack before releasing her. The Class-B Hero looked up at her friend in confusion before a slow dripping sound caused her to look down. Her eyes grew wide as a puddle of blood began to form under Beast Queen's feet.

"My apologies." Bang said as he removed his hand from Beast Queen's back, letting the monster women collapse to the ground, his hand covered in blood and bits of bone. "But I'm afraid you're not in a position to make demands."

That was it. That was all she could take before the dam burst.

"BEAST QUEEN!" Mizuki yelled, tears in her eyes and she knelt down to her friend. Bang blinked at the action, confusion written all over his face as he watched the Class-B hero cry and scream the monster's name over and over, with the other monster using the remainder of her hair to join them. "Say something! Please don't be dead!"
