Hana looked around the building that Isamu had taken her to. She didn't want to admit it, but this hero association had a nice interior. The place was clean and tidy. She could smell fresh air and a touch of lavender in the air.

He had brought her here today because apparently the owner really wanted to speak to her personally. She didn't really know why but Isamu seemed really excited about it and practically dragged her all the way over.

She looked up at her friend, who was practically bouncing with excitement.

"What's got you so worked up?" Hana asked him.
"The owner, his name is Agoni, he's this super rich guy that became obsessed with heroes after two saved his son's life." He explained.

Hana hummed. That would explain the building. It was very impressive. She didn't have to ask any more questions as she spotted a man speed walking over to them.

"I take it that's him."
"Yep! This is gonna be great, trust me!"
The man, Agoni, smiled wide when he got closer. Once he was near enough he gave a polite bow and held out a hand. "Miss Hana, a pleasure to meet you."

Hana was a little caught off guard by his enthusiasm. She looked at his hand for a moment, before returning the gesture. "Likewise. So... you wanted to see me?"

"Yes! Yes! I wanted to personally invite you two to join my hero association. So I could thank you personally."

Hana tilted her head slightly. "Thank me? For what?"
"For helping my son, of course. He would have died if it wasn't for you and your father's intervention." He said happily.

Hana frowned. She really didn't know what the man was talking about over the past three years she and her dad had stopped many people from being mugged or robbed, and even a few monster attacks but she couldn't remember a single one resembling this man. She was going to tell him he had the wrong person, but then it hit her.

The man was a tall older looking with one feature that would be hard to miss. He had an enormous cleft chin that stretched out almost the entire length of his face. It matched the very same chin of the boy her dad saved from that crab monster years ago.

"Oh. Oh, yeah! That was... something. Glad we could help and all that. But... you do know I'm not a hero, right? I just kind of tag along with my dad sometimes." Hana said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"What?! Hana don't say that. Save a lot of people on your own. Just the other day you stop this frog monster from tearing up city-y" Isamu interjected.

Agoni nodded. "He's right. There have been reports from various people about you and your father. You have the potential to be an excellent hero, Miss Hana."

"You really think so? I mean... I do want to be a hero but..." Hana said, trailing off and looking away.

"What's wrong?"

"What about my dad? He's is a hero to and his gotten stronger since that day. Are you offering him the same thing? In fact his been living up to the promise he had given me that day." She said as she thought back to what Saitama had told her that day. 'Defeating every monster in one punch.' He is living up to that promise.

"Hmm. You're right. He is very strong, and is very well known around the country. I have already sent him an immediate acceptance as an S-class hero."

Hana's jaw dropped. "What? What about me?"
Agoni gave her a gentle smile. "I want to offer you a place in the S-class heroes as well."

Hana's eyes widened and a smile spread across her face. "Are you serious?! Thank you!"
The man laughed. "Don't thank me. I'm sure you'll fit in very well. There are others that have joined us here. Why don't I introduce you?"

The two kids nodded, following the man through the building. The three made their way through the halls, Agoni pointing out all of the various things the building had to offer. Hana was practically bouncing on her heels. She was so happy, her and her dad were S-class heroes in the association and they didn't even have to take the test! Sure it felt like a short cut but, hey, she was happy! She wondered what her dad was doing right now, probably just relaxing or fighting another monster.

City A was in complete and utter chaos.
An explosion had rocked the entire area. People screamed, running and trying to get as far away from the explosion as possible. Some tried to stop and help those who were trapped. But the destruction was so great, they didn't have a clue where to start.

Among the rubble was the source of the explosion. It was a large purple alien like monster.

"Mommy! Daddy!" The sound of a little girl crying attracted the attention of the monster. The monster turned towards the little girl. She was crying alone in a small pile of rubble. She looked so tiny and so scared.

The monster licked its lips and slowly made his way over to her. The girl's back was turned away from the monster and was completely oblivious to it. As the monster got closer, it raised one of its four arms and swung down.

Before its claws could hit the girl, someone grabbed the girl moving her a safe distance away from the monster. Due to the sudden speed the girl passed out.

The monster looked at his hand, seeing no sign of the child. Turning he noticed a man in a yellow suit. His back was turned towards the monster.

"Who are you?" The monster asked.

The man, no Saitama, smiled before standing in a confident pose. "Someone who's a hero for fun."

He was met with a glare from the monster. "What kind of backstory is that?!"

"I am Vaccine man!" The monster declared proudly.

"I was formed from the pollution man brought upon the earth! The Earth is a single living organism. You filthy humans are nothing but a disease spreading bacteria eating away at her precious life-force."

Vaccine man began to grow. His eyes turned red. Spikes forming on his skin. "The will of the Earth gave birth to me! So that I may destroy humanity and their insidious civilization!"

Saitama looked up at the monster. His bored expression never changes.

Vaccine man continued to grow now looking like a monstrous tusked creature. "But you do this for fun?! That's the reason you dare to oppose me, the Earth's apostle?! But what could be expected from a human! GUAAAA!"

Saitama raised his fist and launched it into the monster, the punch causing it to explode. The punch cleared out the smoke.

"Not again. All it took was one punch." Saitama said as he looked at his fist. He crumbled to the ground and yelled out in frustration. "Damn it!"
