Long Summary
As Saitama keeps pace with Flashy Flash in the halls of the Monster Association, the S-Class hero can only wonder how Saitama is able to match his speed. While running, Saitama begins to notice the same monster corpse and hallway section repeating. He asks Flash if they are lost, but the irritated ninja ignores him.
Outside, several A-Class and B-Class heroes battle monsters to protect Waganma from the Monster Association. Once the fighting subsides and the monsters are defeated, the heroes seal off all potential entry points. As they express that victory might be near, Poison spots a tall, cat-like figure in the distance. He instructs One Shotter to fire at the creature, but the bullet is caught by Nyan's claw and deflected back, grazing the sniper's head. Nyan expresses amusement at encountering such a weak group after meeting Saitama, and says he wants to "play" with them. Jet Nice Guy warns the others to be cautious, but Nyan suddenly appears in their midst and slashes, injuring him, Needle Star, Gearsper, and Twin Tail. Nyan declares himself a cadre of the Monster Association, though he mutters to himself that he has already left it, shocking the heroes. He reminisces about once being a normal cat who played with toys until they broke, now free as a monster to act as he pleases.
Sekingar orders Food Battler Futoshi to get Waganma to safety. Feather and Poison ready themselves as Nyan grins eerily, declaring that the "game" is to tear Waganma apart while the others watch. Mizuki takes her medal, transforms it into a discus, and prepares to throw it at Nyan while Green restrains him with vines. Using his speed, Nyan catches the discus in his teeth and crushes it, shocking Mizuki. Poison attempts to strike Nyan's face, but his blade is blocked by the cadre's eyelid and quickly broken. When Feather and Shadow Ring try to attack, Nyan slips free from the vines and shatters their weapons instantly. Before the group can react, the cadre wounds both heroes and defeats them.
As the remaining heroes stare in disbelief at the destruction, Nyan locks eyes with a terrified Waganma and asks where they are headed. Seeing the monster looking at him, Waganma tells Food Battler Futoshi to stop eating and move faster, but is told that he needs to eat to restore his energy.
