The trip to Deika City took them quite a while, that they were forced to stop over at some fancy restaurant adorned with so many decorations of animals that they initially thought it was some petshop. That is where they are wrong, for it's a zoo.

The zoo, or so Re-Destro kept telling his buddies it's a zoo even though there's nothing that made the entire thing look like a zoo. Little did his team know that he's an expert at detecting BS, being a being of BS himself.

It was almost dark, and the unique characteristic sound of fake hooves clacking on the road is enough to bring out the staff.

It was Gang Orca, dripping wet with the stench of rotting fish like he's been doing nothing but performing awesome killer whale tricks, going around playing with dolphins, and disemboweling seals and sea lions.

"How may I serve you today?" the hero bowed, to the two donkeys specifically.

Skeptic let out a horse's whinny, waving his little hooves around in his best equine impersonation. If there's someone with a literal degree in horse impersonation, then it's him.

Trumpet also did a whiney, in which he started telling Gang Orca all about how he's the lowest-ranking member there, always being ordered to face the wall because he's a character no one likes, and not allowed to bring home the bacon – because Re-Destro kept bringing them home for himself in a pure display of corporate greed.

Gang Orca nodded at his direction and gestured for them to get in, minding the huge behind of the bigger horse before closing the door on the remaining people on the carriage.

"Hey Curious! Get a load of this!" Re-Destro called out in a mocking tone, making sure the entire neighborhood heard him. Sooner or later, a group of cows came in and surrounded them. Meanwhile Curious is still there, splayed in her seat and completely unmoving.

"What a load of bull!" Re-Destro called out, inches away from LOLing (it was very different from simply laughing out loud). It was only seconds before the cows all got up and slapped him across the face one by one for misgendering them. All of them went into the restaurant afterwards.

…

"Hey Curious! What the hell is wrong with you?" The Supreme Commander cranked his head to face his unmoving teammate. "Are you dead?"

He scratched his head as he received no response. What happened to the blue woman? Did she die? Did something happen? Did Toga appeared again and assassinated her when he wasn't looking? There's no sense to check for vitals because like he said earlier, she doesn't have a pulse because she's made of 50% evil (and 50% ugly).

Re-Destro was about to draw more lines on her face when her phone rang, blasting tunes from the 60s (or is it 70s?) in pure unadulterated adulteration of musical notes.

Curious suddenly sprang to life and grabbed the phone and started fidgeting with it, a huge grin plastered on her face as waves of purple lines appeared on her cheeks. Re-Destro swore her background changed a bit.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"Nothing," she responded, giggling like an idiot. Because she is.

"Oh okay, tell Nothing I said hi."

"Okay."

Re-Destro's eyes narrowed on his teammate, face now almost all purple. He worried about her forgetting to breathe but noticed that she's already blue from the lack of breathing. Somewhere in the corner of his mind, he thought she looked like a corpse, maybe that is why she always dies in fanfiction? Can it be?

He stopped when he heard the woman's incessant giggling again, and it made him remember the good old days when he was still… wait… wait a minute…

Re-Destro cupped his head in shock. He doesn't have a backstory when he was younger because he was just a one-shot villain! Oh crap! Try as he might, he can't remember a thing about his childhood. "CURIOUS!" he shouted in panic.

"What is it, boss?" The woman sprang up.

"I can't remember my childhood!"

"Uh… me too? Because we're just one-shot villains?" Curious eyed him up with one raised eyebrow and the other eyebrow looked at him in annoyance and raised its own eyebrow in a grand display of 'I don't give a flying f***'.

"All the times I had with my Mom and Dad! If only I could remember that I had a good twin! What happened?! Where did it go so wrong?!" Re-Destro screamed into the heavens, the clouds forming a middle finger almost instantaneously. "Where did my past go?!"

Curious inched next to him. "Don't feel bad, boss. Almost every villain doesn't have a reasonable backstory! Look at me! I have no idea why am I even 10 years younger than you guys!"

Re-Destro suddenly stopped. She made sense. Out of all the high-ranking people in the country, Curious is the youngest of them all. Did she suck up to her boss? Did she suck her boss? But that's impossible! Shoowaysha doesn't even have former owners because there's no backstory on them too!

Realization kept hitting him like a truck trying to isekai a young man into its world. It went on and on and on and on until he ran out of questions and accepted things as they are, because… they're just one-shot villains…

Re-Destro sighed. "I wish I'm a major character… but it's only the League and their stupid plot armor… the MLA could have been better…"

Curious gently pulled him onto her lap but Re-Destro pulled back again. If he's going to sleep on someone's lap, the first rule is always that the lap should belong to someone pretty… like Inquisitive…

"Stay away from me, woman! Virginity is cool! Remain pure! Begone!"

"Calm down, boss. I'm not flirting with you…"

"Good heavens!" Re-Destro let out a sigh of relief as the ugly woman is not planning to hit on him. "By the way remember to breathe when you're texting, your face is turning purple and you look like Barney the Ferocious Dinosaur."

"What?!" Curious pulled back and hugged her phone to her chest, falling right into her cleavage once again and her face turning purple.

A few seconds later, Barney the Ferocious Dinosaur came in and gave her his number along with a wink, before walking away to go eat some kids and sing songs about how he loves them so much.

Re-Destro sighed and turned his attention back to the restaurant while the blue lady is busy trying to find her phone. It's been a good few minutes now and he's starting to get bored. It doesn't matter how many epic hero fights happened nearby, he just wanted the whores – he meant horses, to finish.

It took a good while but they finally got out, faces stuffed with the finest of grass this side of the Eastern Hemisphere. Re-Destro wondered if it's really grass or weed seeing how red their eyes are.

"Hey boss! Check out these cool red contacts we have!" Skeptic waved in front of Re-Destro, making sure he squeezed his waist to make his eyes pop out like a cartoon character. Meanwhile, Trumpet and Geten didn't say anything and continued to be the horse in front.

The carriage got moving once again.

After a few hours into the night, the group finally arrived in Deika City – the place where they would start their search as satellite imaging tells them their enemy should just be right up ahead in the mountains nearby.

And sure enough, Gigantomachia can be clearly seen playing with his Detnerat-Grade Playstation COLOSSUS in a distance, in the middle of a game of One's Justice against Shigaraki.

The stars were out tonight and it felt like good time to have a good talk with his comrades. While the horse is busily being parked in a disabled section of a mall's parking lot, Re-Destro went down and instantly created a campfire right in the middle of the road using pure villain willpower.

But seriously, he just called an MLA member that can make instant campfires, as well as instant marshmallows on sticks.

"Alright guys! Huddle up, the boss has some things to say!" Re-Destro waved his hands and beckoned for his teammates to gather up. Meanwhile, an angry trucker is blaring the truck's horns at them for being at the center of the street before being arrested by the horny police for being too horny.

"I'm proud of you guys," Re-Destro propped himself with his elbow on his knees. "Every single one of you here, even you Trumpet."

Trumpet cried on the spot. It made his manliness drop by 50%, which summoned Kirishima to laugh at him for a few seconds before disappearing again.

"All of you made this happen. If it weren't for you people here, we wouldn't even be one-shot villains. We would be non-existent at all!"

Skeptic agreed. "But how are we supposed to get through the insane plot armor of our enemies? That's just not possible!"

"I know, but there's always a chance. It could be insanely low. But hey! What's the worse that could happen to us?"

"One of us could die," Skeptic said bluntly. So blunt that he himself almost got a concussion.

"Oh crap! It could be me!" Curious gasped, hands flying to her lips in shock as she remembered all those fanfictions about her. Based on what she saw, people tend to kill her off in the most gruesome of ways. "I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm so going to die!"

"Curious, you're not going to die. I mean look at them! Look at the League! Aside from maybe Compress and Dabi, the rest are all pathetic losers that can't even hit us if we're flying!" Re-Destro rolled his eyes. "I got you guys jetpacks for crying out loud!"

Trumpet cried even louder. This time his manliness dropped to zero percent and he started growing tits.

"Yeah but they got that plot armor, sir!" Skeptic yelled again bluntly, and now he has two bumps on his head.

"Yeah I know they got plot armor but we can still beat them, right?"

Skeptic shook his head. "Villains don't win against the League. Their plot armor only protects them against villains but not heroes. I'm afraid we can't beat them."

"Well that's a load of bull!" Re-Destro yelled out, careful that maybe the loads of cows he met earlier might come back and do another row of smacks. Good thing they didn't arrive.

Skeptic leaned back on the cold hard road, noticing the vast array of stars lighting up the moonless sky. He swore he saw a single shooting star, but upon a closer look it's just Gigantomachia's spit trailing across. "Hey boss," he said, cushioning his head with hand on his back. "What plan of approach are we doing?"

"We get in using disguises… and then beat the crap outta every single one of them! Plot armor be damned-"

Hawks suddenly landed in the middle of the campfire, doing a cool pose even though he didn't snuff the flames out and his pants are now on fire. "Operation success!" he yelled proudly facing Curious, who got surprised and indirectly sent her phone back to her dress and into her cleavage again.

"What…?!" the blue woman stammered.

"I highlighted specific points in the MLA Book instead of just writing down notes before I gave it to Endeavor and some hero kids!" the hero shouted, now totally engulfed in flames.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means he will read the entire F***ING book just to get my point!"

"Damn!" Re-Destro clapped his hands, amazed at Hawks's dedication to make heroes read his work as well as being absolutely on fire. "What did they say about it?"

"Honestly I have no idea! No one even dared to open them! Except Endeavor himself!"

"What did you highlight?"

"I said that the MLA will attack in four months!"

"But I'm not planning to attack anything yet…" Re-Destro's voice trailed off as he remembered all of his orders over the past year, filtering out the times he had to get room service called because his toilet got clogged from his enormous craps – because he tested if he would poop bigger if he had his rage mode on… and it worked.

So why did he repeat it so many times? Because it's fun.

"Exactly!" Hawks waddled calmly towards Curious like a constipated duck, still on fire, and extended out a hand. "Will you date me now, pleeeeaaase? I distributed more books than the entire distribution team of Shoowaysha did!"

Curious simply raised an eyebrow, her lower jaw hung slightly opened as she remembered all the times Hawks tried to barge in asking to deliver some books for her… and he did quite a pretty good job. So good in fact that the MLA got over 80% of its members because of his insane simping skills… or maybe they just want to see a rare female villain…

"How about no?"

"Okay then! Off to deliver some more books until you say yes!"

And then Hawks flew off into the air, still completely on fire. It made Re-Destro wonder a bit if Hawks is not really into the Liberation and he just want to get it on with Curious, seeing his insane dedication to book distribution. He just shrugged it off in the end, maybe he's just into ugly women.

"Boss?" Skeptic waved his hands about. "Plans for the League?"

"I'll talk to you guys about it tomorrow. Let's get some shuteye."

And everyone laid on the road and slept through the night even though there are monsters nearby.
