Chapter 26 - Villains Group.
Somewhere in the uninhabited lands of the Empire, there was a large reinforced building merged with a mountain, located ten kilometers north of the capital. It\'s surrounded by the woods and is located near a river where there were a lot of fishes.
However, it wasn\'t in its best form today. A giant whale was sticking his bloody head in the building, destroying a lot from it, and raising dust to the air.
Inside the building, in a room which seemed like a meeting room. There were seven people lying on the ground while looking at the ceiling. The ceiling was completely broken, but it didn\'t fall on the group as it was supported by very thin wires.
"Is everyone okay?" a young man with wires coming out from his gloves asked his friends.
The young man had shoulder-length green hair that covers his left eye, green eyes, and red goggles on top of his head. This one of Night raid members, Lubbock. He holds the Teigu Cross Tail.
"I could have been better" Leone rubbed her head because she took a hit when the whale hit the base.
"Hahaha, this was really surprising" A man wearing a white armor and holding a red spear said to Lubbock. The man was wearing a white armor with a white cape and his eyes were yellow. This is Bulat in his Teigu Incursio armor.
"What happened?" A woman with long purple hair raised her head before she realized something and said "My glasses"
The woman had long purple hair and purple eyes. She wore a revealing sleeveless lilac cheongsam with detached lilac arm sleeves and white boots while a giant scissor was near her. This is Sheele the user of Teigu Extase.
"*Sigh*... Here" A girl with twin-tails hair cut helped Sheele getting her glasses before she said with an annoyed tone " They have attacked us"
The girl had very long pink hair tied in twin-tails on the right and left sides of her head and pink eyes. She wore a pink outfit and held a rifle in her hand. This is Mine the user of Teigu Pumpkin.
"Danger beast winged whale..." a girl with long black hair looked at from the window before she frowned.
The girl had long black hair and red eyes. She wore a black school uniform with a red tie and was holding a Katana on her side. This is Akame the user of Teigu Murasame.
"It shouldn\'t appear at these places..." a woman with a mechanical arm stood up from the ground and said "Which means we\'ve been attacked... Ready for battle"
The woman had short silver hair and purple eyes. She wears an eyepatch where her right eye used to be. She wears a black suit that shows her cleavage. This is Najenda the leader of Night raid.
Najenda looked at the whale\'s head blocked by Lubbock Teigu as she frowned. She expected an attack but not this soon.
Night raid were having a meeting in their base about the change of the Empire. Najenda felt the events that are happening are very fishy, and weird. First, the unknown weapon that day, then general Budo death which shocked her.
The revolution army gave orders to Night Raid to stand by and prepare for war, but this didn\'t calm down Najenda.
Najenda thinks this is all a big plan from someone to make the revolution army fight with the Empire then strike both sides when they are weak. Night raid members also had their thoughts which were similar to Najenda. However, things took a turn after they received a letter from the headquarter.
The letter said that all the Teigu in the revolutionary army headquarters disappeared mysteriously. Night raid received an order to rush back to the headquarter and be wary of any attack.
Najenda widened her eyes at this news which stated that even her Teigu Susano disappeared magically from his test tube. After realizing the seriousness of this matter and the fact that they might be the next target, Najenda ordered a retreat this day. But they were ambushed by this attack.
But luckily, Lubbock stopped the attack with the help of Bulat that stopped the Whale advancement with his spear.
"I can\'t see the enemy" Mine grabbed her Teigu and looked outside but she didn\'t spot anyone.
"Are they hidden?" Najenda frowned before she looked at Lubbock and said " Did you find anything Lubbock?"
"Nothing..." Lubbock didn\'t feel anything from his Teigu even if he had put wires across the base for detecting enemies.
Najenda felt this troublesome, an enemy which can\'t be seen to touch explain why the Teigu were disappearing strangely, but it also bad news for them if they want to fight.
"....." Akame was feeling something off before she looked at the sky from the window and said " Above"
Night raid members raised their heads before they stopped for a moment. After a moment of silence, all the members except Akame and Sheele said at the same time " Huh?"
Saitama that was having a small conflict inside of him, landed on the ground and looked at the destroyed building. He saw some signs that there were people living here which made him sigh.
Saitama scratched his head as he didn\'t know what to do know. He usually never does these types of things in his world because there always some robotic things to build and help the civilians, but they don\'t exist in this world.
This is the first victim saving mission Saitama is facing, which makes him confused, and especially because he caused the accident.
{Now, what to do? Run? Or apologize then run?} Saitama was thinking hard about this issue before he remembered that he didn\'t see if people were all right.
But suddenly, Saitama tilted his head to the side as he avoided an orange beam of light.
Saitama looked over to see a pink-haired girl from the building window aiming at him.
{Okay... They don\'t seem to be friendly} Sitama wanted to sigh, but he jumped to the side while avoiding a red spear which could have ruin his only hero suit in this world.
Saitama looked at the front to see a man in a cool white armor looking at him. But Saitama didn\'t focus on him more than the wires creeping around him.
Saitama looked at the wires before they stretched and cut the trees as they reached him, but he caught them with his hand before breaking them which saved his hero suit from getting dirty.
"WHAT??!!" Lubbock stared in shock as he saw his Teigu wires getting destroyed easily by this bald guy.
"This guy isn\'t simple... " Lubbock frowned before he asked Mine " Did you find any other enemies?"
"No... Maybe they are hiding" Mine clenched her Teigu as she was sniping Saitama, but she missed every shot.
"Or maybe this is the enemy..." Najenda clenched her fist while watching all Night raid attacks getting dodged by the bald man.
"Akame, wait for the opportunity to stri- Akame!" Najenda gave orders for battle before she saw something she couldn\'t believe. Akame was shivering in her place while holding her Teigu.
Akame felt she couldn\'t use any strength right now. She felt that all her instincts she trained as an assassin was screaming at her to run away, flee with your life without knowing why.
Akame couldn\'t understand why she\'s afraid, she felt nothing from that bald man. But strangely, she felt there was a monster hidden under that look.
"Boss..." Akame stood up slowly as she took a deep breath before she said " Let\'s retreat"
Lubbock and Mine were shocked by Akame\'s words while Najenda was sweating slightly as she finally understood what is happening. There\'s a third party in this war that holds a power equal or above the Empire, and they are trying to weaken the Empire and the revolutionary army.
Najenda clenched her teeth as she felt this revolution is almost impossible now. The threat of Esdeath from the Empire, the unknown force which can kill Budo silently, and the man that can fight the Night raid heads on easily.
Najenda took a deep breath as she wanted to announce retreat, but Leone suddenly appeared next to her and she was shivering like Akame.
"Boss..." Leone\'s voice was trembling, but she managed to talk clearly " That guy isn\'t a human... I don\'t know how to describe that thing"
Leone watched Saitama focusing on Mine. So she took the chance and attacked him from the back. But she rushed back at the moment Saitama turned his head and looked at her. \'Death, I will really die\' those were the only thoughts that filled the mind of Leone at that moment.
Najenda felt a cold sweat on her back as she put Saitama in the same position as Esdeath now.
Saitama was dodging the bullets as he felt bored from this, but the fact he\'s at fault and his precious hero suit made him continue this dodging.
At this moment of his life, Saitama realized something important as a hero. He lacks social skills which bring heroes charisma and allows them to win battles without a fight.
However, Saitama doesn\'t know anything about this or someone who does. Suddenly, Saitama flinched because he knows someone with charisma.
Saitama activated his Chat Room screen and called the only person he can rely on in this situation to a private chat.
[The Strongest Man in the World: What do you need, Saitama?]
Saitama called Whitebeard because he\'s the only person he could help here. He heard that Whitebeard is an Emperor or something, which means he should know what to do in these situations.
As for why he didn\'t call the other? Misaka is just a little girl, but the others are a bunch of assholes that will make things worst.
[A Hero For Fun: If you were in this situation, what will you do?...]
Saitama wrote his current situation before Whitebeard replayed instantly.
[The Strongest Man in the World: I see... The only solution to this situation is to… Beat them]
[A Hero For Fun:.... Seriously?]
[The Strongest Man in the World: Of course, I\'m serious! The problem here is that you feel this is your fault and some duty as a hero, so you need to turn the wrong into a right]
[A Hero For Fun: By beating them?]
[The Strongest Man in the World: Yes! Beat them until they acknowledge it was their mistake to build the building there!! And keep doing so until they apologies to you!!]
Saitama was feeling now that this man got his Emperor title by beating everyone in his world. And that\'s actually what happened.
[A Hero For Fun:... Thanks, I guess?]
[The Strongest Man in the World: No need to thank me. You can also check a thing in the files which Leo kid told me it\'s for members that don\'t understand the world]
Saitama eyes flashed as he found a solution while dodging Bulat attacks. If he learned about the world, he might be able to avoid this problem. But Saitama forgets who usually writes the files in this group.
Saitama opened the file called \'Da Rules\' next to the introduction file. He only saw the file for a moment before he stopped and let Bulat hit him, which shattered his spear.
Bulat was in a complete shock as he saw his spear turn into pieces just from hitting this man. But Saitama didn\'t care about him as he was reading the rules.
[Da Rules:
Rule 1: Always go for the mayhem route. ( Written by Annihilation Maker).
Rule 2: Violence is the best solution for problems. If it isn\'t solving your problems, you aren\'t using enough of it. (Written by Annihilation Maker).
Rule 3: All the members should yearn for gender equality. (Written by Advocate of gender equality).
Rule 4: If you can\'t handle the true gender equality, then hate everyone equally. (Written by Annihilation Maker)
Rule 5: We welcome all members on sharing their ideas about trolling people (Written by NEET princess)
...]
Saitama almost punched the screen as he saw the rules go from drop-kicking girls to a long speech about why DIO is our savior, Escanor is a badass, and the last one about saying Day raid whenever you do something in this world. He almost couldn\'t read the embarrassing speech about brightness and light.
"*Sigh*" Saitama covered his face for a moment before he looked at the Night Raid members clenching their weapons. He stared at them for a moment before he turned and walked away.
Saitama had enough, and he doesn\'t care anymore. He learned today that this group is almost becoming a villans organization.
Honestly, Saitama always thinks about what happens to these guys. He felt that Kazuma was normal at the start but now he\'s devolving into trash, as he losing some of his morals every day.
Kazuma that was fighting with Kirito sneezed, which caused him to take a hit to the face.
Saitama also remembers that girl named Kaguya. Isn\'t she supposed to be millions of years old? Why she\'s acting like a teenager? He feels troubled and sad for her at the same time.
Kaguya that was floating in the sky looking for something sneezed, which almost made her hit a danger beast during the flight.
If there is someone Saitama is thankful for, it\'ll be the girl named Misaka. But he feels that she\'ll get corrupted eventually.
Misaka sneezed as she was reading the DNA analysis papers, which made the papers flew to the air.
Saitama doesn\'t even want to talk about Leo. He swears that Leo is losing some screws in his head after he made that Nuke. And unlike Kazuma, this guy didn\'t have morals in the first place.
Leo was putting a green heart-shaped headband on Pikachu head before he sneezed, which made some danger beasts notice him in the forest.
{I had enough...} Saitama walked away from the Night Raid member but suddenly a girl with long purple hair appeared in front of him waving a giant scissor.
Saitama tilted his head and body to avoid Sheele attacks easily, but he got annoyed as she kept attacking his head.
"I\'m sorry..." Sheele waved her Teigu, and she was sure to land a hit on Saitama as he stopped dodging, but something happened made her froze in her place.
*CRACK!!*
Saitama opened his mouth and bite the Teigu. The Teigu didn\'t last a second before it broke into pieces. Sheele fell to the ground and stared at her Teigu that turned into pieces while Saitama looked at Night raid members.
Night Raid members woke from the shock that a Teigu able to cut anything was broken by a bite from someone. Akame quickly hidden her Teigu as she saw Saitama looking at her.
"YOU BALDHEAD!!!" Mine shoots at Saitama as he turned his head and dodged her bullets.
"Mine, retreat!!" Najenda stopped Mine from shooting, but Mine was angry.
"But Boss, look what that bald egg looking head with a silly suit did to Sheele!!" Mine clenched her teeth as she saw her friend looking at her broken Teigu without moving.
"Bald... Egg?" Saitama touched his head as his expression darkened slightly.
"Mine, this is an order!!" Najenda ordered Mine furiously this time, which made Mine stop.
"...Yes" Mine saw Najenda like this so she had to agree, but she still looking at Saitama as she said with a low voice " Egg head with a silly suit"
Saitama stopped his footsteps as he looked at Night raid members before he raised his hand and did a chop in the air. After a few times, Saitama nodded before he disappeared from his place and appeared in front of the invisible Bulat.
"What?!" Bulat didn\'t know when Saitama appeared, but he didn\'t have time before Saitama hit his head with a karate chop. Bulat head was implanted to the ground as he was knocked out.
"BULAT?!" Night Raid members were shocked and angry for their friend, but they didn\'t have time as they all got the same treatment from Saitama.
Mine took a hit without even reacting, Lubbock tried to block the attack by his wires but that didn\'t stop Saitama, Akame slashed with her Teigu, but she didn\'t even do a scratch on Saitama before she took a hit. Leone tried to block, but Saitama just avoided her hands, and Najenda got her mechanical arms broken because she tried to block the hit.
Saitama looked at Night Raid members with their heads implanted to the ground before he looked at Sheele that was the only survivor. He stared at Sheele for a moment before he raised his hand while nodding.
"Eh?" Sheele was surprised for a moment before she shook her head quickly.
Saitama ignored everyone at that moment before walking away and leaving all the Night Raid members lying on the ground except Sheele that didn\'t know what to do now.
"I think I can agree with that second rule... Hm?" Saitama stopped his footsteps for a moment as he felt something, but he ignored it and walked forward.
While Saitama was leaving by moonwalk, there was something happening to the unconscious Night Raid members.
The world stood still at that moment as time was stopped at that place near Night Raid base.
"That was close" A girl with long black hair was picking Night Raid members Teigu and putting them inside her sleeves, which seemed to have a separate space inside of them.
"Oh Leo, Leo, Leo..." Kaguya picked Incursio as she stared at her reflection on it before she said " You need to get good if you want to challenge me"
Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief because Saitama almost felt her time stop. She still can\'t understand how can that guy be immune to time stop, even if she can stop him if she put more moments into eternity. But she felt the world is helping that guy, which made her curse the privileges of the protagonists.
"Anyway..." Kaguya dropped a picture to the ground before he put Incursio in her sleeve and left this place.
Kaguya can\'t wait to see Leo\'s reaction after he knows that she took all the Teigu to make them a prototype model collection.
