The Hero [One Punch Man]

Ep 1: It Was All A Dream

Edited - Lyishence

"Saitama..." I mutter, holding the bananas to check if they were fresh. No reply.

"Saitama?" I said confused, slightly raising my voice. He doesn't answer.

I turn to my left to see him staring at packaged crab. Is he alright? I saw a woman with short brown hair walk past staring at his shiny bald head.

"Saitama!" I shout at him. I stare waiting for an answer but he suddenly places the packaged crab in his basket and walks off without me; I gasp at his rude behaviour. I quickly place the bananas in my basket and briskly walk to him. He goes to the cashier and she scans the food.

"482 yen, please." She says, with a small smile face. Poor lady.

He places 500 yen onto the counter. I lightly here the ground rumble and I frown from this. It defiantly wasn't my stomach.

"Oh, hang on." He mutters scrambling through his coins. The ground rumbles again making the store's lights flicker and everyone jolts in fear. People scramble to run outside while others run the other way to the back of the store. I stumble a bit and clutch onto Saitama's right arm. I shake in fear.

"Saitama..." I muttered with a serious voice. I'm not liking this. And with that, Saitama didn't listen.

"I have 82 yen." Saitama casually mutters, to no one in particular. I pinch the bridge my nose in annoyance. Really Saitama?! The store's lights flicker again and the ground is really shaking like an earthquake. The ground shakes again causing the lights to switch off Saitama suddenly holds onto my right hand to comfort me. I blush as I feel a rush of wind behind me causing me to clench my eyes shut. Saitama turns around and so do I. I gasp at the sight in front of me, a giant crater that was once many streets. I look left to see a giant monster walking across the cities crushing them beneath him as he was walking.

"Go home (Reader)." he growls as he takes a big jump and flies towards the giant. I stare in amazement, quickly turning around I rush to the counter to grab our groceries (of course without paying), I put them in plastic bags and run for my life to the train station. I arrive off of City Z train station and walk home.

"I hope Saitama's ok." I muttered to myself. Upon arrival I get all of my groceries out and put them away: Fridge, pantry and fruit bowl. I sigh as I walk back outside and place Saitama's packaged crab at the front of his door, smiling I walk back inside. Should I have a shower? Nah, can't be bothered, I get changed into my pyjamas and go to sleep.

I wake up from a low rumble sitting in my futon; I hear bricks falling in the room next to me. Saitama! My brain can't cope with what was going on but I feel someone hug my body as we are flying in the air. I wasn't flying anymore. I was clutching onto the person holding me. I slowly open my eyes to see Saitama holding me bridal style.

"My house!?" Saitama yelled.

"Saitama!? What's going on?" I said scared and confused. I saw my apartment and I scream at the horror.

The next thing I know I'm being thrown into the air; I scream flailing my arms and legs around. Someone catch me! I look to see Saitama get thrown under the bridge.

"Saitama!" I scream falling as someone captures me. I look up and scream at the horrible looking monster. I struggle to get out of it's big hand but fail; I'm so weak. Knowing I can't even save the guy, Saitama please be ok. Please be ok. I pray the heavens for your safety. Please. The monster continues to hold me as I see Saitama start fighting off these monsters. One by one they fly away, Saitama kicking their ass. I smile, but then a big explosion happens causing me to cover my eyes from the heat. I look to see heaps of them getting out of the ground.

"It's over." One says with a deep voice, coming up from the ground. Wait? Saitama?!

"No, Saitama!" I scream flailing around trying to break free.

"Hold still surface dweller!" the monster mutters his grip tightens. I scream in pain. My lungs felt like their being crushed.

"I'm..." a voice yells, I look up knowing that familiar voice.

"Just a guy who's a hero for fun. I do not lose! (Reader) and the surface... is under my protection!" Saitama says with an angry expression tapping his chest with his fist. Saitama!? I...I lo-

~IT WAS ALL A DREAM~

I tiredly sit up, hearing the multiple crashes outside. I quickly run to the balcony door, opening it I lean over and look to see Saitama standing there awkwardly. I sigh and smile waving my right arm in the air.

"Ohayo Saitama!" I say giggling.

"Oh, ohayo (Reader)!" Saitama yells back giving me a bright smile.

But one thing, still makes me feel human.
