The Strongest Duo

*TRING TRING TRING*

The sound of the alarm clock echoed through the room.

A man can be seen inside his futon as he grudgingly reached for his alarm clock and turned it off.

This is Kenji.

He took the blanket off him as he stood up and stretched.

He went to his bathroom which was a bit small, but Kenji was completely fine with it.

It has a toilet, a shower, and a sink. What more could a person ask for?.

He washed his body in the shower. Moments later, he brushed his teeth in front of the mirror.

After he was done, he took the towel and dried himself with it.

He dressed up in a simple plain white T-shirt, black jogging pants and went to the kitchen.

He opened the fridge and looked inside.

His eyes were wandering as he was trying to find bacon that he bought yesterday in a sale.

A minute later, he finally found the bag of bacons. He turned on the pan and waited for it to heat up.

After a couple of seconds, he put 3 bacons on the pan. The fat of the bacon oozed out as it cooked.

*sizzle sizzle*

He didn't add oil since it was unhealthy. So he followed the article on how to cook bacon, which he saw many years ago. Where the melted fat of the bacon can be used as oil.

He waited for 2 minutes before flipping the bacons one by one. He waited for another 2 minutes.

When he saw the bacons turn golden brown. He turned off the stove and picked the bacon with his chopsticks as he put them in his plate one by one.

He then took a container from a nearby cabinet and put the melted fat from the bacon in the container. He can still use it as oil later.

He took the cooked rice from the rice cooker and puts it in his bowl.

He then went to the table and sat on the floor.

He placed the bowl and the plate gently as he stood up and took a water bottle from the fridge.

"Itadakimasu! (Let's eat!)" as he sat down and started eating. He turned on the TV and watched the news.

"A demon-level monster has appeared and is currently ravaging City A! Explosions and tremors continues to happen!." As he watched the panicking news reporter explain the situation in City A.

An explosion happened near them as they lost connection.

Kenji took out his phone and dialed a number.

*tot tot tot*

The call was finally picked up as a familiar voice sounded.

"Yo Kenji! What's up?" The voice said as Kenji can hear some rustling noises from the other side.

"Yo Saitama! You going there right?." Kenji replied with his mouth currently filled with food.

"Yeah! Of course! I'm a hero after all." Saitama said as he opened his door.

"I'll leave it to you the-." Kenji was about to finish, he chocked on his food.

He patted his chest and grabbed the water bottle on the table. He drank it until he was ok.

Kenji recovered from what happened and started to eat again.

"They always say, don't talk whenever your mouth is full." Saitama sarcastically said as he was running towards the direction of the explosions.

"Yeah whatever." Kenji replied as he ended the call.

As soon as he finished eating, he stood up and went to the sink.

He turned on the faucet and washed the dishes.

After he was done, he laid on the floor as he looked at the ceiling.

It's been 3 years, when the fight with the Rat King happened.

All he did was train like crazy with Saitama and beat strong monsters for the past 3 years.

The both of them experienced near death situations a million times and always survived.

Kenji thought as he was reminiscing the time when they beat monster after monster until they drop dead from exhaustion.

There was also the time when their hair fell off their head.

They looked at each other as they screamed.

"Dude! Dude! Your hair fell out!" He remembered Saitama panicking as he saw my hair fell out.

"I know! You're also bald!" Kenji screamed at him as Saitama touched his head.

"You are right!." As Saitama shrieked as the place where his hair was located, looked like a wasteland as no hair was left.

They screamed and screamed at each other for minutes.

Moments later, they sat down on Saitama's room as they finally calmed down.

"Yo dude! I feel like a monk now! I think I gained enlightenment." As Kenji placed his hands together like he was praying and was making weird noises.

"I dont want to be monk ok! I still want a pretty wife to welcome me home!." Saitama said as he refuses to accept being bald.

"Just give it up dude, with your bald head no woman will ever want you. How about you join me and help me recite this scriptures." As Kenji took tons of scriptures from his back and handed it to Saitama.

"No way in hell! And where in the hell did you get these scriptures from?!." Saitama screamed at Kenji as he didn't know how in the hell he got those scriptures.

"We have no choice Saitama, Buddha has already set our fates in stone. We will be bald forever." As Kenji rubbed his bald head and took some oolong tea from the table.

"To hell with that! I'm going to find a way to grow my hair back!." Saitama shouted at Kenji as he stood up and dashed outside.

"Yo bro! I don't want to be bald either! I was just being sarcastic! Wait for me!." Kenji kept the scriptures as he followed Saitama.

Kenji laughed as he remembered the good old days.

The both of them went on a rampage and tried everything but to no avail.

Just as they were in despair, A mad scientist confronted them and told the artificial monsters beside him to attack us.

We were in a very bad mood back then, as we annihilated the monsters in seconds.

The mad scientist was scared shitless as soon as he saw his creations defeated in an instant.

The duo was about to punch/kick him out of oblivion, when the mad scientist proposed that he can fix their problem.

The duo spared the mad scientist and asked him how he can fix their problem.

The mad scientist said that it was simple and he will just have to go back to his lab to get the vials.

The trio then entered the lab. As soon as the duo saw what's inside the lab, both of them thought 'he really is a crazy scientist.'

Incubators filled with hideous monsters were all over the place, tables where all kinds of animals parts were placed, and they also saw the scientist's experimentation room where the fusion of animals takes place, creating new hideous lifeforms.

The scientist was for searching something in his room and finally found a small box.

He opened and two vials can be seen inside, as smoke lingered inside the box.

The mad scientist took two small vials from the box. He said that its name is "CentaX" and it's his latest experiment.

It can make any bald head grow hair, the mad scientist also said that he made this because he was in a similar situation with them before.

The mad scientist handed a vial to Kenji as he took it and drank it with no hesitation.

He can feel his head itch as scratched his head. But when he touched his head, he can feel something was there. He touched it again and again,

Kenji cried tears of joy as he was finally not bald. His dark black hair that he missed for so long finally came back.

The mad scientist and Saitama also cried as they clapped their hands and congratulated him.

The mad scientist handed the last vial to Saitama, just as Saitama was about to take it.

A flash of red took the mad scientist and the vial.

It was a combination of a frog, a rabbit and a horse and was 10 feet tall. The monster's belly was as large as average man in height and was big. The mad scientist and the vial can be seen as it wrapped the mad scientist with its tongue.

The monster with no hesitation swallowed the mad scientist that was carrying the vial.

"This is karma! You've been torturing us the whole time! And now we're sick of it!." The monster laughed maniacally.

This mad scientist was torturing all of the animals here and experimented on them like crazy.

He doesn't even care if one died. He'll just consider it as a failure as he continues to another one.

The monster was able to talk because it was the scientist's 6th successful experiment.

(The other 5 successful experiments were annihilated by Saitama and Kenji.)

The scientists fused a frog, a rabbit, a horse, and finally a human.

The experiment was successful as they gained the right to think and talk.

But the hatred in their eyes began to manifest as it grows stronger over time.

The monster then thought that this was the moment it was waiting for. As the mad scientist was busy entertaining his guest.

He took the opportunity and began his counter attack.

He used his tongue that could break the speed of sound and was planning on taking him.

Its tongue was going to the direction of the scientist in a very fast speed.

In a split second, the scientist was caught.

It then proceeded to snatch the scientist and swallowed him.

"HA HA HA! The revolution is about to sta-" before the monster could even finish what it was saying. It heard a menacing voice from behind.

"Consecutive Normal Punches"

Before the monster could even react, it was struck by a series of punches.

The monster exploded into pieces and was killed in an instant.

"NOOOOOOOO!!! Professor!!!!! What about my hair!!!!." Saitama screamed at the non existent monster. As it exploded into pieces, before it can even react.

Kenji looked at the grieving Saitama with sympathy in his eyes.

Kenji laughed again as he remembered Saitama's crying face when the scientist with the vial was eaten.

"Luckily the scientist gave it to me first." Kenji signed in relief, if that happened to him then he will really bawl his eyes out.

*knock knock knock*

"Oi! Let me in!." Saitama shouted outside of his apartment.

Kenji stood up and opened the door.

An ordinary-looking bald man with a thin but well-built physique appeared infront of him and was wearing a yellow suit, red gloves, and had a white cape on his back.

"Sorry for the intrusion." Saitama said as he took of his boots and walked inside the apartment.

"Yo dude, I bought a new video-game wanna play it together?." Saitama asked Kenji as he was plugging the console to the TV.

"Yeah sure." Kenji replied as he smiled and sat down next to the bald guy.

Moments later, a series of shouts resounded inside Kenji's apartment.
