Sidekick [One Punch Man Fanfic]

Chapter 10

*First person pov*

It was big, huge. It had scales, that was the color of a deep turquoise that would blend in well with the ocean. There were fins on it's head, and on it's arms. Big sharp teeth were exposed as it grinned, like little daggers that can easily crush and slice through human flesh. It's feet were webbed, like a duck's, but not a duck. It can never be a duck, as it was too ugly, slimy, and so revolting. Every inch of me screamed no at the monster. A deep sea fish.

But while it was a monster, it had it's human like features as well. It's muscles bulged and expanded when they were flexed by this monster, or just moving about in general. The monster had a chest, a chest complete with two pretty hilarious heart nipples, but I digress. Not only that, but it had clothing that would be worn by a human.

A long, red, royal cape was tied around it's neck, and flowing behind it. There was a red crown on top of it's head, something a king would wear. Despite how unfathomably ugly that thing was, it's undeniable how fucking hilarious it looked. I mean, it was a monster, yes, but it was something out of a cartoon. I mean come on, pink, heart, shaped nipples? In a king cosplay? For fuck's sake, it's wearing a thong too!! It would be a villain in a superhero cartoon for comedic purposes, no doubt about it.

In the middle of humoring myself, letting out a few giggles and snorts, I then remembered what I was supposed to be doing. Then I felt the feeling of fear of getting caught by this Seafolk. Shit! I duck behind a building, my heart beating fast in fear. Did he see me? I looked around the corner, sighing in relief when he didn't see me. The more I studied the monster more, the more uglier it got. It actually looks a lot like my ex-boyfriend, that ugly bastard. As it walked down the street, it's back was to me. So I stealthy, quietly prowled down the street.

I ducked into an alley, trying to dig through my mind for a good strategy. Damn... I am only a sidekick. I would be nothing to that monster... Saitama and Genos is not here yet. But I don't do anything, it will get to the Evacuation Center... I noticed a gun store across the street. There! Making sure the monster wasn't watching, I run across the street to the store. Inside, and there was a bunch of ammo and guns.

I hopped over the counter, grabbing the first handgun and expensive handgun I saw. It said it was a S&W 686p. I don't know what the hell it is but it was tiny. But at least it should be effective according how expensive it is. I grabbed the ammo I think would be for it, and grabbed an ammo vest because I don't know how much I'm gonna need, and how powerful this 'Seafolk' is. I would get a better, more powerful gun but I'm not trained and it'll probably knock me on my ass. I run back outside, my gun loaded. I aimed at the Seafolk, steadying my breath. I lined up the shot and fired the gun.

I nearly dropped the gun as it smacked and jerked against my hands painfully. I covered my ears, as it was louder than I thought it was. My ears rung, but that didn't stop me from seeing the horrifying truth. The gun had no effect on the monster it seems. It only lodged in it's thick rough skin, steam coming out of it's back where I shot it. The monster turned around to give me a sinister grin.

"That hurt... not at all." The Seafolk said, flexing his muscles and when he did, the bullet popped out. "Hm? Aren't you a pretty little thing? I feel like I would crush you if I lay a hand on you." Seafolk said, and I shook a little. This aura... This bastard's way out of my league. But... who's gonna protect the people? Genos and Saitama aren't here yet... Dammit! "Takashiro Ren... S-Class Rank 1 Sidekick..." I trailed off and aimed my gun at the Seafolk, trembling. "Fight me! You ugly bastard!" I yelled, glaring at him as I sweated.

"A Sidekick hm? Where is your Hero you hide behind? Do you really think you can take me on by yourself?" Seafolk said, and I blinked once and he disappeared. "Wha-" I said, then he was in my face. "Boo." He said, and my mouth drops. "FUCKER!! FIGHT ME!!" I yelled, firing my gun at him, but he disappeared again.

"Fight you? Alright then." The voice came from behind. I turned around in desperation, but only to get a full blown punch in the stomach. It sent me two blocks away, as I feel blood leaking out of my stomach. My grip on my gun slipped, as I tumbled away. My head and body got scraped and cut on the ground as I tumbled away. I coughed and hacked out blood. So much blood came out of my mouth, but so did the rest of the body.

Taking pain is the worst. "Hm? Are you dead? As I expected... I use little girls' blood like you as a face mask, so you were doomed to die from the start." The vile creature laughed, as he walked away. No... I'm not done yet.... The beast continued to walk. I stood up shakily, taking a step forward, but then falling over. We're not finished here... I don't know how many ribs of mine that were broken.

But more lives will drop than the rain if I don't do something. I stood up, pushing myself to run towards the Seafolk. I dived and grabbed my gun, aiming it again. "DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE!!!" I shot the gun over and over. It again only lodges itself in it's back. The monster turned back around, with annoyance on it's face. "You're annoying."

He flexed his muscles again so the bullets would come out of his shoulders and back. Then, he disappeared and reappeared in front of me. Something tightened around my waist, as I was lifted up off the ground. His slimy, green hand was wrapped around my waist tightly. "Acck..." The Seafolk was squeezing me... with the intent to squeeze me to death.

Whether I suffocate to death or explode in a meaty mess is up to god at this point. "Damn...!!" I shot my gun again, over and over. But never would the bullets penetrate. His hands tightened on my stomach, and I gasped for air. My grip lost on my gun, as it fell to the floor. "It... hurts..." I was being crushed to death.

The pressure around my stomach and body caused me to throw up my last meal. "How foul." The Seafolk said. "I am the Deep Sea King, if you knew better, you shouldn't have went against me. Foolish, if you ask me." I started to cough up blood. I get dropped to the ground. "Hm... I'd rather not get blood on my hands, so I'll crush you with my foot. Wither away under my mighty stomp, human."

I found myself staring at it's foot as it came closer. No way in hell I'm going to die yet!! "Foolish... Huh? But," I decided to act cool when I get out of this sticky situation. Gathering my swiftness magic, I dodged the speedy stomp. I somersaulted out of the way, stopping when I was on one knee. "I prefer bravery better!!"

But the Seafolk, now dubbing him Deep Sea King, was not really amused. "Really?" But that surge of swiftness power made me cough up more blood. Blood came out of my nose, causing me to instinctively reach up and wipe it away. "You're already in a roughed up shape. Do you believe you can defeat me like this?" Deep Sea King laughed mockingly at me.  I clicked my tongue, sweating.

"As long as I can buy time for Saitama and Genos, we can play cat and mouse all day you butt sucking bitch!!" I yelled, charging at Deep Sea King. I know. I know I won't be able to defeat him with the way I am, nor do I think I will be able to in the future, or in a life time. I don't think I can stop him without sacrificing something in return. So... that's why... I clenched my fist as I ran at him.

As I got closer, Deep Sea King lifted up his arm to punch me. I blocked with only one arm and caught Deep Sea King's wrist with my other arm. I could feel that my arm broke from King's punch. Until my body withers away, I'll give it all I fucking got!! I jumped up into the air and punched King in the face with everything.

I jumped back, holding my broken arm. My punch didn't hurt King, but it was best I can do at the moment.
