We're rising in ranks too quickly, at this rate Rena will be a prodigy and targeted for it.

it's time for BEFRIENDING and HERO FRAUD.

I wonder if there are legal reprecussions for not actually being a hero, having powers, or fighting villains.

>>28108547
For her heroics Rena has risen the ranks and become B-Class!

In the meantime I read the onepunch man manga.

I believe we'll need a lot of luck and many rocks to survive this.

>>28108547
Ready to roll, OP. Awaiting our inevitable demise at the hands of a competent villain.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?
I didn't ask to be B-Class!
I just want to stay in C... Where it's safe and I get hurt less....

>Official Ranking System for Villains.
>D-Class: Mostly Harmless
>C-Class: Threat
>B-Class: Possible City Wide Threat
>A-Class: Dangerous
>S-Class: Extremely Dangerous.

I can't take on B-Class stuff! And all they're giving me now is upper C-Class and lower B-Class villains!

>>28108598
It's okay Rena practice your diplomatic skill and i'm sure you'll be safe.

Also are you doing your workout properly?

>>28108598
RIP in piece Rena, we hardly knew ye.

>>28108598
Decide that today is an excellent day to take off, consume a pint of ice cream while watching romance movies to take our minds off our coming doom.

>>28108598
We should ask someone one how to downgrade our class. Maybe chet, or MGS

>>28108598
>Enhanced aim
what this is bullshit.
>City-wide threats
fuck.

>>28108598
What if we lose a mission? Will they demote us back to C?
Maybe we could let MM win for once and give ourselves at her mercy... She just has to promise not to involve her sister. We have to take it slow...

>>28108679
Not a bad idea, but I don't think MM would accept that since she's super into the villain thing. She'd probably be insulted or something.

>>28108580
If that was the case, they'd have to arrest so many heroes that the whole thing might as well disband right away.

>>28108693
Doesn't MM like to kidnap people?

>>28108693
Well, we could still run it by her without asking for help - 'I'm really not any stronger than you are but they keep promoting me what do I do?'

>>28108598
Maybe we could volunteer to help out a group of D-Class heroes for training? Or maybe help in a group battle to avoid the worst of the attention?

>>28108693
She doesn't have to know.

>>28108633
I already did that... Twice...

>>28108626
I've been keeping up the workout. I'm a little stronger but not B-Class stronger.

>>28108627
Nooooooo

>>28108637
Let me try that.

>Rena calls up Magical Girl Sparkle.

"Hey, Sparkle?"

MGS: "Hmm?"

"Is it possible to... Lower my rank?"

MGS: "Not liking B-Class?"

"Well not it's just... I don't think I'm really ready for it."

MGS: "I see. Well, it is possible to drop your rank down to C-Class 1. But that might piss off a few people. Namely the people trying to get C-Class 1 and those who really want to be B-Class. So that's up to you. Also you could lose in a fight against someone a lower rank than you. That would work."

"Thanks..."

>Rena hangs up.

So... There's options.

>>28108753
how about getting in a fight with the power rangers?

>>28108753
Do we lose money if we lose a battle? If we don't, time to find some D-Rank villain and get a couple bruises.

>>28108753
Lets try to get to A class instead and dismantle the organisation from wthin before transfering to the villain association as the Rogue Rena.

Either that or we harass Velocity Raptor for more gadget. Maybe we could try to find Cthulhu or the king in yellow and form a pact?

>>28108753
Ask MM(aestro ver.) for advice on how to lose safely and get demoted. She should know villain policy, and maybe even set us up with one with low rank and little pride.

>>28108753
How much money do we have? We should see if we can get some upgrades for our costume, just in case.
Also, we haven't met the Shadow or talked with the Rangers yet.

>>28108753
Sign up to help out a bunch of lower ranks, that way we won't go up in the ranks as quickly.

>>28108753
drop it down to C-class rank 1.
find anti hero
ask if she jelly
ask if she mad
get sparkle to lobotomize her demon

>>28108806
We haven't met with Mantis Shrimp Man either.

>>28108753
>Also you could lose in a fight against someone a lower rank than you.
Right. Let's find that zombie girl terrorizing the children last thread, and lose to her without getting killed or maimed then.

You don't want to get near mantis shrimp man

>>28108753
Can we find some of our targets for the day?

>>28108850
Yeah. We should really meet the rest of the suggested heroes, and get some more tips from them.
We should upgrade our equipment, get some new gadgets, and help out the lower ranks so that they surpass us.

Also, get a diary for the Queen of the World as a gift in case we run into her.

>>28108753
Let's train with the Shadow. Maybe a shady guy will be able to help us get out of the spotlight.

>>28108797
Ah, I don't have her number on here... I can only talk to Heroes with this thing. And I totally forgot to ask her for it last time.

>>28108787
I don't think I can fight heroes.

Hmm... I could get some upgrades to my costume. See if I can make it more durable. And there are some other people I could try and talk to.

>Rena heads to the Hero Association Headquarters.
>There is a small booth where she can upgrade her suit. It says she can enhance the durability by paying only $1,000. With that Rena could even withstand small firearms.
>Or she can pay to increase her resistance to magical attacks for $1,500

Hmm... Those seem to be the only options here. I have more than enough money to buy them but I can only select one.

>>28108953
>Or she can pay to increase her resistance to magical attacks for $1,500
Just a hunch.

>>28108953
Go for the durability.
Then go talk to sparkle about anti hero demon.

>>28108953
Lets grab the magical resistance because its more expansive.

Lets go train with other rank B and A heros.

>>28108953
Let's get the magic resistance. People with magic tend to be crazier than normal people. No offense to Magical Girl Sparkle, of course.

>>28108953
>>Or she can pay to increase her resistance to magical attacks for $1,500
It's more expensive so it must be better, r-right?

>>28109000
Ironically, Sparkle is probably the only sane hero along with Chet Manlystache.

We should really find an eldritch horror to become a magical girl too.

>>28108969
>>28108982
>>28109000
>>28109002
SIGH

>>28108953
Get both, for fuck's sake. You have the money.

>>28108953
Well, aura of normality means that we are best against magic folks, so I'm for that upgrade. Something has gone horribly awry if we ever face someone with a gun.

>>28109038
How many people have we seen with magic?
How many people have we seen with guns?
Plus, we could always buy a bullet proof vest.

>>28109041
>Get both, for fuck's sake. You have the money.

Read more closely

>Hmm... Those seem to be the only options here. I have more than enough money to buy them but I can only select one.

>>28108953
Magic resistance, for now. Maybe we can buy more gadgets later on, and we could enchant that thing to be resistant to bullets.
Like a cape. Or something that goes over a sweater.

>>28109041
>can only select one

>>28109075
LAYERS. JUST... ENCHANT YOUR BRA.

>>28109085
Or just wear a bulletproof superhero t-shirt under our sweater.

>>28109085
That's not how hero uniforms work anon. You might as well ask them to go sans-costume.

>>28109085
>>28109107
Plus, I don't think she wears one.

Can I enhance multiple clothing? Nope... However... I -could- change my uniform to include other things. But that costs $3,000...
Okay. I'll spent that, add my pants as part of the costume, and enhance both!
That's... $4,500. God, that still feels weird spending that much.

........................................................

Anyway... Let's uh... Go check out some other heroes. Maybe they have more advice.

>As Rena goes to check up on the heroes Anti-Hero approaches her

AH: "Rena! I just heard about your promotion! Congrats, ladybro!"

"Hahaha.... Thanks Anti-Hero... Hey, do you know if there are any Heroes around I can talk to? I'd like some more advice."

AH: "Sure thing. Most of the S-Class is here... Then there's Mantis-Shrimp Man, Cosplay Lass, TKO, and Shadow Man. Shadow Man's a C-Class but he's still pretty good, like me."

>>28109206
Shadow Man

>>28109198
Larro is the QM name right?

>>28109206
Cosplay Lass!

>>28109206
Shadow Man. Bring fireworks.

>>28109206
Ask her how it feels to be outranked by you.

Order her to not kill any more villains because you outrank her.

>>28109206
Shadow man.

>>28109246
No.

>>28109206
Shadow man. Either he knows exactly what we want to know (how to stay low rank) or we'll piss him off...but not like any others are more likely to know.

>>28109206
I just wanna say you should wear a bra because erect nipplescan be a issue.

>>28109245
Yessssss

>>28109206
Let's see what the Shadow knows.

>>28109309
Bleeding nipples too if we sweat a lot.

>>28109246
Offer her a cookie for each villain she spares!

>>28109319
What evil lurks in the hearth of men?

>>28109319
He probably knows all about the evil lurking in the hearts of men.

I may be a higher rank but I think she could kill me with half a thought... Best not to test the crazy girl.

"I'll go see Shadow Man. See you later, Anti-Hero."

AH: "Seeya, Rena!"

>Rena goes to find Shadow Man. Realizing this might be rather silly to attempt she instead asks people where he usually hangs out at. They direct her to what is known as The Dark Room.
>She enters the Dark Room and finds... Shadow Man!

SM: "... Rena, correct? I've heard a lot about you... Come in..."

>>28109362
Well go on in, he's probably friendly. With a name like Shadow Man how could he not be?

>>28109362
Trip immediately.

>>28109350
Mostly ashes and bits of marshmallows actually.

>>28109362
Ask him where he got his hat.

>>28109377
Consume mushrooms.

>>28109362
Make sure you don't accidentally spin into him, that would be unfortunate.

>>28109362
Trip immediately.
Ask how you can not die vs villains.

>>28109362
Isn't shadow man a super hero name.?

>>28109362
Ask him if you can fulfill your contract by scouting for other heroes or getting information on villains.

>>28109362
We may also have to ask about his gender.

I am afraid he may be a reverse trap.

>>28109362
"Nice cape."

>>28109362
[x] Look around and awkwardly try to compliment his room without actually being able to see anything.

>>28109362
Can we turn on the light?

>>28109362
Introduce yourself, ask what he's heard about you, and ask for some tips.

He's supposedly the information broker around here, right?
He could provide us with tips and strategies that work against certain villains.

There doesn't seem to be one...

>Rena steps into the room. It's pretty dark in here but her eyes adjust quickly.

"Nice cape."

SM: "Thank you. Nice... Sweater."

"Thanks."

SM: "Is there something you wanted to see me about?"

"Oh, right! I was wondering if you had any advice for me? I mean... You seem good at not being noticed. I could use that."

SM: "Hmm... The secret to going unnoticed? I am afraid I can not pass that on to you. It is my Power, and not something I can give away... It simply involves blending into the shadows..."

>He steps back into a corner.

SM: "As you can see... Or rather, not see, I am invisible... This is not something I can teach... You are either born with this gift or not."

"..."

Not really invisible. I mean, he's kinda hard to see but I still know he's there.

Ask him how to loose and against who as not get killed.

>>28109511
Riiiiight...but surely, if his MO is using his power, he must have picked up some tricks that could work for others as well? (I mean, he's still alive despite...that...so he must do something right)

>>28109511
kthxbai

Go to MGS about Anti Hero's demon. Seriously, that thing is a time bomb.

>>28109511
>Not really invisible. I mean, he's kinda hard to see but I still know he's there.
Bring this up.

>>28109511
Throw rocks at him until he agrees to teaching us.

>>28109545
stop it.

>>28109511
So, how do you use your powers to fight against villains? Or do you just collect information for people?

>>28109511
"I can see you, if only a little bit. And I imagine there is more to going unnoticed than being mostly invisible, anyway. Like, how do you keep villains from seeking you out? Or, barring that, how do you get away without being followed?"

>>28109541
No, don't. That's our Aura acting up. He should know about it.

>>28109511
"Wait, I figured it out. You're telling me to blend with the environment so that my enemies can't see me and use that to my advantage!"
"And to use that to observe and learn how they act and what's their weakness so that I can exploit it!"

"Thanks, Shadow Man!"

Ask if it works when it isn't already dark. I think this guy has less powers than we do.

>>28109568
that aura we lied about and don't actually have can really act up there

>>28109568
We don't know about the aura (and did you mean "shouldn't know"?).

>>28109565
>Tell the information broker about a power that works best when no one knows about it

YES GREAT FANTASTIC

>>28109598
>don't actually have
Someone missed a thread~

MGS didn't give us an actual Aura of Normalness, she gave us Luck. And Pluck.

"I can still kinda see you."

SM: "Oh? You have truly earned your B-Class rank... How about... Now!?"

... He just raised his cape thing a bit.
I'm starting to think it's less a Power and more 'I'm gonna wear dark clothing at night so no one can see me well'.

"I can still see you."

SM: "The Aura of Normality... A fearsome power indeed... You have revealed the one flaw in my ability. Without this power I must rely on more mundane methods to hide myself.."

"Liiiiiike?"

SM: "Simply blending in to the background... It can be done even in broad daylight. You are the most mundane looking hero ever. If not for your red hair I may not have recognized you... Perhaps put your hood up? You... Stick out like a sore thumb without it on... Also, and this should be obvious... The power can not be used to fight... It is only for sneaking... There are others who use it offensively... But not I..."

>>28109607
What?

>>28109645
And she likes us.

We should go on grab some coffee with her sometimes.

>>28109645
And also Rena doesn't have a clue about it so no taking it into account when deciding reactions! To Rena his power is blatantly useless and she has no reason to think her presence or perspective is what's doing that.

>>28109650
Are you sponsored by the ellipsis commission or something?

>>28109650

Am I the only one that's beginning to think we really do have an Aura of Normalcy, and the only reason we're refusing to believe we have one is that... Well... Everything seems normal to us?

>>28109666
Yes, I'm just pointing out to the people that think we got the Aura now that we don't.

>>28109650
You know, that aura of normality thing isn't really even a thing. They just sort of think I have that because I was nervous and had to give a power.

>>28109650
"Dark dark green is a better color for blending into darkness, especially black and dark green camo print. Buy some."

>>28109650
Okay...
So how do you avoid getting fired? Take on lower rank villains?

>>28109682
I reject your reality and substitute my own

That's the code phrase to activate Aura of Normalcy in full. We can upgrade it to other auras with different properties.

>>28109650
"Did you know that ninjas didn't even wear black? They wore dark blue, because black stands out too much at night."

>>28109654
I think she's the kind of gal who would prefer an irish coffee.

>>28109650
We're redheaded? That explains everything.

>>28109711
That's not really an aura of normalcy, that's a reality marble that works like Imagine Breaker.

He pauses a lot. I wonder if it's for dramatic effect or what.

"So... Do you just gather information or do you fight people?"

SM: "I only gather information... Fighting is beyond my ability... Unlike someone like you... If you ever need to know anything simply ask... I have information on almost anyone..."

She can summon small monsters and command them with her batons... She can also transform a little... Monster Master... The elder sister... Quite fearsome. If the monster has appeared in legend she can become it... She can not summon as well as her younger sister. Then... Their elder brother... The S-Class Monster Marauder. He has killed many Heroes and even some Villains... Quite unstable."

Also...did you just pull your cloak up over your eyes?

I, uh, well.... I definitely can't see any part of you anymore, so I guess you're a pretty good hider, maybe. Thanks for the info.

Nah, thanks for the help! Should come in handy.

Next update, the coat collapses and it turns out he's not there any more.

You know I can still see you right?

Does Monster Master have any weaknesses I could exploit? I don't want to hurt her, just prevent her from sucking me dry. Of blood I mean.

>>28109945

You're a support hero who relies on being unseen to gather info and stuff, right? But there are times where you must have been discovered by high-profile villains who didn't appreciate being observed.

Can you give me any tips on avoiding villains once I've been discovered? I can run pretty fast, but that only goes so far.

"Well... Is there any weakness to Monster Master? She seems to have added me to her list of people she wants to suck dry. Of their blood. Yeah."

SM: "They come in handy... Or this."

>He hands her Knock-Out Pellets.

SM: "They won't work on stronger villains but against the weaker ones you should be fine..."

"Thanks. Hey, do you know if there are any enemies who are targeting me?"

SM: "There are a few... Monster Maestro, Monster Master, Queen of the World, The Deviant Artist, The Rogue Wizard, Cut-Man, Zombie™, The Dark Stranger... You are quite popular right now, it seems..."

>>28110142
Wait wait wait, all of those?
Fuck, time to get an honor guard or really REALLY practice blending in.

>>28110142
Is he still working for Wily?

>>28110142
We need to find cut-man, he's the new champion.

>>28110142
>Zombie™
Got his villain name from the bottom of the barrel I see.

>>28110142
"Um... What can you tell me about Spine Ravager? If I'm not mistaken, it's the one that killed Silver Ranger. Database has nothing on him."

>>28110142
Oh god oh god tell me about all of those.

I thought we converted wizard guy waaaaahhhhh

>>28110142
> The Deviant Artist
> The Rogue Wizard
Those two are in prison. Side note, send them some cake to make them feel better.

> Cut-Man
> Zombie™
> The Dark Stranger
These guys are new. Who are they?

>>28110142
We need info on those last three.

>>28110142

Do you have any relation to this The Dark Stranger? He sounds similar to you, is he a recon type villain?

>>28110142
Step forward and poke shadowman.

Well, look like those villains are going to get the full 5 courses meal of Rena brand pain. Which means rocks.

>>28110173
>Cutman
>Shadowman
You may have a point.

>>28110227
And mace

>>28110142
Pantomine like you are walking away, making quieter and quieter footsteps, and sit down in a corner of his room. Pull your hood way over your head

Wait for him to stop hiding.

Try to hide from the hidemaster.

Either that or ask him out for coffee.

>>28110252
This.

>>28110205
>These guys are new. Who are they?
I don't know, but I do know which I'd most like to avoid in a dark alley.

>>28110142
Fuck, time to ask Chet or Sparkle what to do when a shit-ton of villains want your blood.

>>28110252
Lol when we're done asking him stuff we have to do this.

And then get complimented on our hiding technique.

>>28110252
Please, don't.

Going for MM and MM+ love triangle romance route.

>>28110296
Good idea

>>28110142
So, are villains taking notice of me since I have shot up in the ranks so much?

How fast do heroes usually rise in the ranks?

>>28110296
I hope they don't UNITE TOGETHER IN THEIR VILLAINY TO OPPOSE US ALL AT ONCE, that would be silly...

"Can you tell me about them?"

SM: "You have seen a few of them... As for the others... Cut-Man... B-Class 10... Has the ability to sever anything... Including things that are not physical... Like connections to our powers or people... Zombie™... A truly immortal villain... B-Class 42... The Dark Stranger... A-Class 25... Little is known about him... He is, however, highly regarded among the Villains... Even some S-Class will listen to him... He uses shadows... Like me... But better..."

"Alright... Have you ever heard of the Spine Ravager?"

SM: "Of course... High kill count...A-Class 23... Goes for the spine... Victims can stay alive for hours..."

"........."

SM: "Is there anything else you wish to know..?"

"How come I've gone up so many ranks? Is this normal?"

SM: "It is very unusual... You must be quite powerful... This is why you have gained so much attention from both Heroes and Villains. You are a bit of a celebrity..."

"Awesome..."

SM: "Is there anything else you wish to know..?"

"I think that about covers everything. Thanks for all the advice. We should go out for coffee sometime."

SM: "... I would like that..."

>Rena leaves the room.

Alright... So not only am I a high rank but people want to beat me up...

>>28110333
Fucking useless mentors.
Okay, that's unfair, but who else to ask? SM seems to have given his advice, AH would be useless...

>>28110355
Awww. I was totally thinking that the weaker ones would form groups like the heroes did... my hopes are smashed...

>>28110370
Find someone, anyone, to ask advice from. Except AH because heh.

>>28110370
Let's see Sparkle or Chet. She could give us advice on dealing with so many villains.
And we could get them a coffee to thank them for all their help.

>>28110370
Lol he slightly emerged from the cape at the end there.

Go see MGS about AH's demon. Seriously guys. We gotta do this.

Or we could dick around and call MM now that we have her number.

>>28110370
>coffee confirmed
Yesssss

Okay, where to now? is today our day off?

If it's a day off, we can visit MM.

>>28110374
>Fucking useless mentors.
Low levels, bud.

Next up, Mantis-Shrimp Man

>>28110370
Maybe see if MGS would be interested in teaming up with us if we managed to get a bunch of villains chasing after us?

I mean, if we are going to get swarmed by villains, might as well try to have it on our terms.

>>28110414
Definitely need MM advice, but we're already at the right place to talk with heroes so...

>>28110370
>Alright... So not only am I a high rank but people want to beat me up...
Reminds me of high school.

Lets go find Sparkle and Chet and ask them for advices. We are kinda screwed.

We could try tricking cut-man in using his power to sever the link between us and our normality.

>>28110370
Mantis Shrimp Man, please.

>>28110442
Nooooo... last thing we need to be is Cthulu.

>>28110423
Coffee is for the weak. Join the tea master race when you pull yourself out of the mud, peasant.

>>28110442
>We could try tricking cut-man in using his power to sever the link between us and our normality.

Did you know that being alive is part of being normal? ...Just saiyan'

>>28110370
Stake out the door. He has to go to the bathroom eventually.

>>28110459

Being Chtulhu must be fun! All those tentacles and sleeping underwater!

As long as we stay clear of steamboats.

>>28110492
Unless we ask him to cut away our mortality first!

>>28110370
>cut man
Find and bust Dr. Wiley. He is individually weak without his robots, and will net you a large reward.

>>28110442

Alright... Let's see if Sparkle has some advice.
==================================

MGS: "You fucked up."

"I know..."

MGS: "You seriously fucked up. I tried giving you easy missions. Why would you take on Monster Master?"

"I didn't even fight her! I just convinced her to not fight!"

MGS: "You idiot! That counts as a win! Your best option in that case is to flee and call someone else! -I- could have taken her on! And now you've made the shit list of every Villain trying to make a name for themselves! I can't help you anymore!"

"B-but... But..."

MGS: "Ugh... I might be able to convince the higher ups to give you easier missions but that's the best I can do for you. If you're attacked by someone who's way to strong just call me. The other S-Class might ignore you but if I'm not busy I can try and help."

Avoid at all costs.

Based Sparkle.
Anyway, backup's probably all we can get from the heroes, let's call up MM to hear some villain advice.

>>28110575
That's a really dumb definition of win
Who even comes up with these guidelines

>>28110575
Tell her about AH and the episode over Deviant Artist. Ask about the demon.

>>28110575
Welp.

Either we get actual power or we die.

Lets go talk to velocity raptor to see if he can give us anything, like a giant mech or an orbital laser.

>>28110575
Apologize and say you'll do better next time. Thank her for all her help.
See if she'd like to go grab something to eat or drink.

>>28110575
Yeah, we did sort of fuck up. Does she know any villains you could lose to that aren't... super lethal? To lower rank?

>>28110575
>MGS: "You fucked up."
>"I know..."
>MGS: "You seriously fucked up.
MGS confirmed for Murderface-tier Magical Girl.

>>28110575
Talk about AH and the demon possessing her head.

>>28110370
>Cut-Man
Whatever we do, we mustn't wear a maid outfit around him.

>>28110621
What? No, he'd be perfect!
"Well then i sever your connection to your powers! You are now as weak as anybody else!"
*Rena throws rock*

>>28110648
She's a lot nicer and more talkative.

>>28110645
Preferably drink. Something with a high alcohol content preferably.

>>28110661
But our real power is being the protagonist, so losing that would be awful!

>>28110661
But anon, If it's Shiki, we're more likely to throw ourselves at him than a rock!

"I was off duty too... Who makes these rules..?"

MGS: "No clue. It's been around since before even my time. You'll have to ask the top brass. If you can even get them to talk."

>She drinks from a juice bottle.

MGS: "Look, you got a crap hand, kid... But you've made it so far. I think there's something about you that lets you survive things that would be almost certainly fatal to others. Maybe you do have a power... Though you most likely don't. I said it before and I think it still stands, keep doing what you're doing. If you need help don't be afraid to ask for it. Okay?"

"Okay... Hey, do you know Anti-Hero?"

MGS: "I do."

"She has some kind of demon in her head. Can you remove that?"

MGS: "I could. However, it would be difficult. It's buried into her head. If I took it out it might kill her. Someone with better healing than me would need to help her."

>>28110791
what a damn shame. We'll have to find the villainous doctor.

I am CERTAIN there's a villainous doctor.

>>28110791
huuuh
go back to shadow man and ask about healers?

>>28110791
And do we have someone like that around?

Actually, who does all the healing around here?
It's Mantis Shrimp and his Power Massages, isn't it.

>>28110791
"Are we talking specific someone or just someone I might or might not eventually meet?"

>>28110791
> Someone with better healing than me would need to help her.

Well, who is better at healing than you?

Anyway, don't we have 100 pushup, squats and sit up to do along with 10 kilometers to run?

Thank you, MGS.
If she needs help she can all for us too. Not that we can do much, but we can help her change her outfit. That bow-tie is clearly out of fashion

>>28110851
Probably high precision surgery.

Anesthetics optional.

>>28110851
Nah, slapping the sickness out of you.

>>28110791
"Dang. Well, I guess if I keep visiting heroes, I'll eventually find one who can help her. Off to visit Mantis Shrimp Man"

"Is there anyone around who can heal better?"

MGS: "Grace? But she's hardly ever around. If anyone could it'd be her."

"Alright. Thanks a bunch, Sparkle. Next time you got the day off the two of us need to go out."

MGS: "I'll think about it... Seeya."

>Rena waves goodbye and then leaves.

Let's see... I should call up Monster Maestro.

>She dials Monster Maestro's number. After a few rings the Villain picks up.

MM: "Hello?"

"Hey, Monster Maestro! It's me, Rena."

MM: "Rena!? How the hell did you get my number!?"

"It was on file."

MM: "... I need a new phone. What is it?"

"I was wondering if we could meet up? I need to talk."

MM: "I'm a bit busy right now. Can this wait like... Ten minutes?"

???: "Die, fiend!"

MM: "Phoenix Fire! Look, just meet me at the Castle Cafe in a bit. Okay?"

"Alright, see you then."

MM: "Bye"

>Monster Maestro hangs up.

Alright. I still got a few minutes to kill. Should I visit another Hero or head straight there?

>>28111072
Mantis Man or Velocity Raptor.

>>28111072
>Head straight there?
Operation slumber party is a go.

>>28111072
Head straight there, keep an eye open for some nice small gift you could get on the way.

>>28111072
we could probably get MM or MM+ to use unicorn powers or some shit to heal anti-hero during the surgery.

I have no idea what hero we should even visit.

>>28111072
Lets visit Chet, Velocity Raptor or Mantis Shrimp dude.

I really want Rena to become Nyarlathotep now.

>>28111072
It would be rude if we get there late and we know those heroes like to talk

>>28111072
Head straight there. We might need to help whoever's getting beaten by MM.
The Rangers.

we need someone like blackjack to do the operation. i mean, he turned a brain tumor into a loli.

>>28111072
str8 there

check if shes wearing the clothes you picked out for her

>>28111072
Oh god Rena is flat.

>>28111154
Wait..what?

Lets just make sure we are not in our hero costume when we meet her.

>>28111072
Whoa whoa whoa, who's this Phoenix Fire person? And why are they meeting her later?

Immediately look in our hero pokedex to see if they are a villain or a hero.

>Rena arrives at the cafe a few minutes early.
>Monster Maestro walks inside wearing a sweater. Rena waves at her.

She -is- wearing it!

MM: "So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

>>28111235
MM is using the PHOENIX FIRE technique.

>>28111154
Isn't that what Zeus did with Athena?

>>28111235
MM used Phoenix fire on us, anon...

>>28111235
It's probably MM calling out an attack

>>28111235
I think that's her attack move.

>>28111235
Phoenix fire is the name of MM signature offensive spell.

>>28111253
Stuff! Ask her about all the villains trying to kill us.

>>28111253
Ask her how she likes the sweater.

>>28111253
It looks so good on her!
Ask her if she kidnap us for a bit, just so we can lower our hero class

>>28111253
My new rank is going to get me killed halp

>>28111253
"You're wearing the sweater! Awesome! It looks good on you. Not to change the subject, but there are apparently all sorts of villains after me now, and I seriously doubt all of them care as much about letting me survive as you are. Is there some way you can make them back off or something? You know, like, say that only you are allowed to defeat me, or something?"

>>28111253
Oh, not much, just a friendly chat. I hadn't actually thought of that yet. Oh, talking to your sister got me promoted to B rank, so there's that. How did your fight with whoever it was go?

>>28111304
yes. Ask this.
Just a little bit of kidnapping.

>>28111324

>>28111304
What if Rena stays confined in MM's house for, like, 3 days or something?
Would that be construed by Hero HQ as the villain holding the hero and thus obstructing him/her from performing heroic deeds?
Rena could pay MM back by cleaning up her house during confinement.

If hanging out with villains makes our rank go up, should we really keep doing that? Maybe we should look into getting a disguise or something, so the Hero Association doesn't know about this.

>>28111253
"Mostly to hang out, so business first.
I keep getting promoted FAR past the level of my incompetence, and I was wondering what the pay scale is for villians.
Also, I'm looking for somebody who can safely remove the demon from anti-hero's head - it's bad for everybody with her so unstable and getting worse."

Is there some way you can make them back off or something? You know, like, say that only you are allowed to defeat me, or something?"

MM: "First of all I'm only wearing this because it's November and my normal stuff is too thin to wear. Second, I warned you that a bunch of people were after you, didn't I? I've got you listed as my archenemy but Villains sometimes don't follow the rules. Shouldn't you be happy that you're a higher rank?"

"I am but I'm also not... I really liked C-Class. I was hoping I could stay there but the only way that can happen is if I either willingly go there or someone of a lower rank defeats me."

MM: "Yeah, well, sucks for you then. I would kill to be B-Class. Not literally, of course."

"I know. A lot of people might be jealous of me. That's why I don't want to just leave my rank. And now I can't even fight you anymore."

MM: "What?"

"They don't give me missions against some C-Class Villains."

MM: "... I could pretend to defeat you."

"Hmm?"

MM: "I could pretend to beat you. And since I'm a lower rank that would lower your rank too. Even lowering it by one would get you back to C-Class."

>>28111490
You are the best friend!

>>28111490
We need to be sure Anti-Hero wouldn't interfere. That's a danger we MUST avoid at all costs.

>>28111490
Thats a plan.

The only problem is that MM will get a lot of attention if she manages to defeat a B class hero. We don't want her to get hurt, don't we?

>>28111490
Okay, totally supporting the kidnap in exchange for house cleaning plan now.

>>28111550
It's what she wants. Let her have it.

>>28111490
Can we not do the beating up part? Can you just pretend to kidnap us and take us to your place?
Also, someone needs to take care of our cat.

>>28111564
But...but...what if other hero try to rescue us and hurt MM?

>>28111490
I say go for it, but we need a plan for dealing with antihero.
though that would... uh...
That would move monster meistro up probably.
In the rankings I mean.
Which might get her in trouble.

But if we get "kidnapped" then someone out of MM's league might try and rescue us and then things could go horribly wrong for us and/or MM

>>28111490
We should spread the rumor the our Aura of Normality is permanent if we decide it so.

>>28111490
"You know, that could actually work. You might be a genius, you know that? That said, we'll have to figure out how to keep Anti-Hero from 'helping', since she seems to like killing villains thanks to the demon in her head. I should probably figure out how to deal with that one, anyway..."

>>28111589
Have MGS tell them that we are trying to escape to prove our skills. Or something heroic about facing our arch-nemesis on our own.

>>28111589
We can have some mostly harmless hero claim the rescue job as soon as it comes up, so that no one we don't want to have it gets it.

>>28111589
We ask MGS to make sure no hero tries to to save us.

>>28111550
She wants to be higher rank so that's fine.

>>28111617
But if we do that, MM will lose any villain cred she would have gained.

>>28111599
We can ask MM+ to help defend her.

>>28111638
It'd end in death.

>>28111638
And what if THEY ask for help!?

auuuuuugh

I can't help but think both the Hero and Villain bigwigs will look down harshly on ranking fraud, and the more complex this plan is the more likely it is we will get caught. Getting beat up is one thing, but if we start involving more people to cover our asses for a fake kidnapping we are totally going to get busted.

>>28111589
Tell MGS what we are doing and ask her to divert people away.

Also warn MM about Antihero because seriously that chick is crazy.

>>28111490
And that would raise your rank too, sounds like a win-win!

>>28111654
I can't help but think both the Hero and Villain bigwigs will look down harshly on ranking fraud

We advanced in rank first from eating lasagna and then from going shopping.

Either they are laughing themselves into an early grave or they just don't give a fuck.

I'm inclined to believe the former.

>>28111629
Well, then, maybe we just have her punch us into unconsciousness instead of kidnapping us.

>>28111658
We talked with AH and she agreed to leave the monster sisters alone due to archenemy status.

>>28111654

I don't think we even need to get beat up.

Even getting a villain to stop fighting is a win.

So....

What if MM goes out and makes a mess and Rena's place (SECRET BASE OF OPERATIONS after all),

and rena goes like "mou, I just can't stop you at all. and give in to her 'rampage'.

Won't that count as a loss?

I think we need to fight for real. Going toe to toe with a summon seems like a loss for us no problem.

Implying we can trust anything that girl says. Killing villains is like heroin to her, and you can never trust druggies.

>>28111490
>MM: "First of all I'm only wearing this because it's November and my normal stuff is too thin to wear."
Did she really not liked the sweater? Maybe we can go out together next time then

>>28111719
Is it? I'm pretty sure her head demon is just influencing her emotions at critical points.

>>28111675
Just because they have retarded definitions of winning that they stringently follow doesn't necessarily mean they won't come down on someone for trying to game the system.
I can't imagine they'd be okay with us pulling something like constantly staging fights just to amass and split money between the two of us, either.

"Can we not do the beating me part? Can you just pretend to kidnap me and take me to your place? Also, someone needs to take care of my cat."

MM: "Fine, whatever. That might actually work even better because if you break out I won't gain too much rank myself."

"Also we need to make sure heroes don't don't bother us."

MM: "It won't happen, hopefully. Unless you put out a distress call with your morpher they'll wait a while to see if you can handle it. So we'd have two days where we're both pretty safe."

"So this can work, right? Would we get in trouble?"

MM: "The odds are slim. Heroes and Villains do things like this all the time. It's cheating but it's fine. So, are you sure you wanna go through with this? It'll work but we'll be stuck with each other for a while."
