Rain. Cold, wet and dangerous, yet life-sustaining. It could kill as easily as it could give life.
Genos felt spittle draining from his mouth. The rain poured on his exposed flesh, while onlookers watched in horror. He was nearly dead, only a shell of his former self remaining. He'd let his guard down, and paid the price. Now the Deep Sea King would kill him instantly.
"You're a fool," the Deep Sea King cackled, towering above the near-dead cyborg. "But I give you credit for giving me a few scratches." He tapped his pale cheek. "Of course, they've already healed. Now, die."
Suddenly, a knife was thrown at the monster. It landed deep in his back.
The Deep King grunted, pulling the knife out of his back. As he did, something lightning-fast slashed across his cheek. He yelped out in pain, grabbing his bleeding cheek. Another blunt object rammed his thick hide, causing more blood to spill.
"Hmm?" he gave the perpetrator a sadistic grin. "Another little snack come to play?"
Ayano wiped the blood off her face, wielding yet another dagger. Genos looked up at her, relieved. She was fashionably late, but luckily she'd arrived just in time to save him from complete annihilation. Her uniform was already stained and covered in muck, which made Genos curious as to what exactly kept her held up.
"Hey, there's someone else over there!" a man shouted, looking over the crowd of people.
"Who is that?" a woman asked.
"I think that's Yan-chan, Class B," said another man. "She defended City Z Suburbia single-handedly against some flaming rocks. She's been rising up the ranks really quickly!"
The Deep Sea King healed the injuries Ayano's weapons had delivered. He turned and glared at her, aiming his fists. She jumped out of the way, hands glowing red. Genos watched her in awe. She really was strong, and quite fast, too. She wasn't lying when she said she'd catch up to himself and Saitama in speed.
"Now you're starting to annoy me," the Deep Sea King growled. "Die, you little brat!"
Ayano dodged a punch that would've shattered her spine. She summoned the strings again, sending them towards the monster. They meekly wrapped around his large arms. Ayano scowled. They were much harder to control on such a large target. Sweat appeared on her brow.
"What are these things?" the monster demanded. He tried to pull them off, only to start screaming in agony. Ayano stood on her two feet, the strings wavering slightly. A small grin appeared on her face. Now she was really showing her power.
"What are you?!" the Deep Sea King screamed, glaring at her. "If I known there'd be things like you up here I'd..."
He roared, and whacked Ayano across the side, sending her flying. The strings immediately disappeared.
Genos coughed. "A... Ayano..."
Ayano's body felt like it was going to collapse in on itself. Her ponytail was positively ruined, and her uniform was a wet and bloody mess. She forced herself to stand on shaky knees. The Deep Sea King glowered at her broken form.
"Still not finished?" he asked. "I-"
"JUSTICE CRASH!"
A bike was launched at the monster, bouncing harmlessly off his back. He turned and faced a man wearing an armoured suit; said brown armour was covering his torso and shoulders. He had a black leather suit under the armour and black gauntlets and knee pads. He also had a green bicycle helmet and dark-shaded goggles.
"The cycle is for justice!" the man declared. "Mumen Rider is here!"
Mumen Rider, Class C rank 1, Ayano thought, annoyed. He is going to get in my way.
