One Punch Simulator

The Lone Cyborg

A/N: Hey guys, thanks for all the response! I'm glad you're already interested. Here's the long-awaited chapter 2.

As well as that, page 1 of the comic is up now on my deviantart, iHateFridays. That's all, happy reading.

For the past week, Ayano had been doing nothing but training. Every second she wasn't in class, she was exercising. She was already starting to feel the burn. Her whole body was aching all the time, and her arms and legs felt like mush.

She'd actually started eating more food, too. Before her epiphany, she only ate enough food to keep up the image of a normal school girl. Now she was eating more food to keep up with her body's demands. If this kept up, she'd need to go shopping twice a week.

She was also working on her fighting skills. She spent a lot of time boxing. Some would say too much time - she'd punched and punched until her knuckles were bloody. Her emotions were still a raging pit of determination. She had no limits, no little voice in her head telling her to stop. She was a machine, a creature with a purpose. The only limit was her physical ability, and eventually, she'd break through that. Nothing would hold her back.

It was a pleasant Tuesday when Ayano met Saitama for the second time.

School had been cancelled due to some sort of mosquito outbreak. Apparently, the mosquitoes were a lot more dangerous than average mosquitoes. Ayano wasn't upset at all about missing school. She could finally spend a full day working out, with no interruptions.

She was currently in the middle of doing sit-ups on a yoga mat. She was in her clean, spacious living room, the TV on in the background. It was showing the newest episode of Life Note, an anime Ayano pretended to enjoy. Ayano was only partly paying attention. It was mostly just background noise.

"We interrupt this program with a breaking news bulletin," said a news man, interrupting the broadcast. "A large swarm of mosquitoes has been sighted in City Z. Mummified remains of farm animals have also been found. If you encounter a swarm of mosquitoes, it is strongly suggested that you flee immediately."

Ayano gazed at the mummified remains of cows and other livestock on the television. A thought crossed her mind. If she disposed of these mosquitoes, would Saitama take her in?

He'd have to. She'd already gotten much stronger over a week. And soon, she'd catch up to him.

Making up her mind, Ayano slipped into her sports clothes and headed outside. It was time to kill some mosquitoes.

Unbeknownst to her, Ayano was not the only one hunting the mosquitoes.

A young blonde cyborg, narrowing his golden irises, watched the swarm of mosquitoes as they swept through the city. His robotic arms tensed. Alarm sirens blared, warning residents to stay indoors. The cyborg trailed after the bugs, already putting together a plan to eliminate them.

His trackers stayed on the vermin. They were quick, but so was he. He continued pursuing them. It seemed they'd gathered around a dead end. The cyborg could sense some kind of being hiding within the mosquitoes.

Then he saw it: a monster. A curvaceous woman, covered in black and white stripes. She had the abdomen of a mosquito attached to her back, and large, black mosquito eyes on top of her head. Some extra appendages were attached to her body. Large, crystalline wings kept her above ground. The swarm of mosquitoes flew around her, like a tornado.

"Oh, come on," the woman's voice moaned. "That wasn't nearly enough blood. Go get some more."

The cyborg held out his hand. A fire formed at the end of it.
