Lightning Max vs. Deep Sea King

Lightning Max vs. Deep Sea King is the battle between the A-Class hero Lightning Max and the Demon level monster the Deep Sea King.

Prelude
The Deep Sea King began his invasion on the surface of the Earth with his Seafolk. He arrived in J-City, where he struck A-Class hero Stinger for killing some of his henchmen. The city alarm announces that the disaster level of the Seafolk invasion has been raised to Demon. In addition, the citizens are advised to evacuate the city. As the Deep Sea King is walking down an empty street, Lightning Max is observing him from afar with a telescope. Lightning Max contemplates whether he should fight the monster or wait for reinforcements. Suddenly, the Deep Sea King sneaks up, startling Max.

Battle
He immediately attacks Deep Sea King with his Lightning Kick, the force of the kick creating a bright flash yet the attack does no significant damage, with Deep Sea King saying it only stings a little. Lightning Max is stunned that the monster was able to sneak up behind him so quickly, and also remarks that his Lightning Kick did zero damage. Towering over him, the monster asks Lightning Max who he is. The hero gives him his name, and offers Deep Sea King the challenge to fight him. Secretly though, Lightning Max intends to make a run for it as soon as possible, but before he can do so, Deep Sea King punches Lightning Max into a building. Lightning Max again wonders how his punch was so strong, as small streams of blood run down from the corners of his lips and he loses sensation in his entire body. Deep Sea King arrogantly walks up to him and bends his knees, placing his chin on his hand and sadistically chuckling. Infuriated by his sadism, Lightning Max decides to use another one of his special moves, Flying Backwards Roundhouse Kick, and strikes Deep Sea King in his chin. The force of the blow is large, creating a bright flash that lights up the entire floor. Alas, Deep Sea King is still completely unharmed, and sends the hero crashing through the wall. With that final blow, Lightning Max is defeated and proceeds to fall, with several pieces of large debris following with him.

Aftermath
Before he is crushed by the rubble, Puri-Puri-Prisoner comes sprinting and catches the A-class hero Lightning Max is saved from the falling building by Puri-Puri Prisoner. He is later recovering in the hospital with the other defeated heroes. His loss at the hands of Deep Sea King gives him motivation to become stronger, and is the main reason why he joins the Super Fight Tournament.
