The Monster Uprising

"The Hero Association has been greatly weakened, and our greatest weapons are yet to be released. They were fools not to ask Goddess for help. The Monster Association is poised for an overwhelming victory, O Monster King Orochi! The only question now is, now that they are off-balance... how will the Hero Association respond?"

"Huh? You're right, there is the Hero Hunter... and another one, too. Another being hunting heroes..."

"Are they a monster?"

"No, they are... she is... something else."

The A Class hero Death Gatling slid down a rock, holding up his gun. In his other hand was a phone. Towering above him was a ginormous, octopus-like beast covered in eyes.

"Hold it!" he yelled into the phone. "I've been waiting for reinforcements!"

He glanced at the other A Class heroes before him. "We can handle this!"

"No," a new voice said. "You'll do no good."

The S Class hero Flashy Flash appeared before them, a serious look on his face.

"To fight a foe with inadequate force only heightens the damage to one's self," he said.

"You're saying we're inadequate?" Death Gatling demanded.

"Shut up and watch," Flashy Flash responded. Just like his name, he was quick as a flash, and easily sliced up the octopus creature. Its entire body bled green goop. Despite that, the creature seemed to become even more powerful, destroying everything in its path.

Death Gatling fired his guns at the monster, but it didn't do much good.

This may call for my ultimate technique, Flashy Flash thought. However, just as he was about to use said technique, the octopus suddenly went flying into the air, surrounded by a green light.

"Tornado of Terror..." the A Class heroes gaped.

Tatsumaki easily crushed the giant monster into a ball, causing it to explode. She glowered down at the other heroes.

"What're you all doing screwing around?" she demanded. "Get out there and deal with more monsters!"

She flew away, but not before Flashy Flash murmured a curse about her. Death Gatling scowled. Another victory stolen by the S Class heroes. He was glad that one of his accomplices, Black Turtle, wasn't here. She would've been infuriated. He knew better than anyone how she loathed being in the shadows of the S Class heroes, which was ironic, since she was in a group led by an S Class hero.

As he walked away, preparing to go to another town to try and redeem himself, a suspicious masked figure appeared before him.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

The figure charged towards him, and they suddenly engaged in combat. He shot it with his guns, causing blood to spill everywhere. It fell to his knees.

"A monster?" Death Gatling asked.

To his surprise, it got up again, wielding a large blade. He saw a flash of red, and then everything went black.

Ayano crossed off the picture of Death Gatling on her board, feeling that addictive satisfaction. She turned her focus to the picture of Sweet Mask.

That hero is usually surrounded by his fans, or his manager, she thought. And even if he was alone, would I be strong enough to beat him?

That's when she got an idea.

How about instead of killing him, I kill his reputation? She thought. Everyone sees him as this great and heroic guy... I wonder how they would feel if he wounded up in jail.
