After that, a few days had passed since the meeting as everyone continued to go about their daily routines as they waited for the day of the operation as people continued to look for the Hassaikai's main base.

"Okay...thanks." Lea said hanging up. "Damn. We've gone through half the list and still nothing. It's not like these guys are gonna…" he said before seeing Ultraman walking down the street. "Wait...isn't that guy...yeah. He's one of those Anarchy Kings Elders. Might be my best shot."

Lea slowly followed after him into a nearby toy store. "A toy store...not the kind of place you'd find a grown man...unless he's buying for a little girl." he said as he saw him approach the counter.

"I would like to buy a toy that's widely popular among girls. What are they into these days, Glitter…?" Ultraman asked.

"Oh, are you talking about Glitter Squad maybe?" the cashier asked.

"Yes, Squad Action: Glitter Squad." Ultraman nodded. "Are there any in stock?"

"I'm sorry sir but that series went out of stock years ago. The current one is Gung-ho Glitter Squad 10." the cashier said.

"Alright, I'll take one of those then." Ultraman said getting a box. "You know, it's strange… this version of Glitter Squad. It reminds me of this other series...dang it, what was it called?"

"Think you're talking about Pretty Cure." Lea said with a hand on his back.

"Yeah, that's it, thanks. I'll have to introduce my niece to it." Ultraman said with a knowing glance. "She doesn't get out often."

"It's fine. I'm sure she'll love it." Lea said as they went to the counter as Ultraman headed out with the box. "And I'm sure you'll love the tracker I slipped into your robe." he smirked. "Now...what do I do with this?" he said looking at the box he had. "Maybe I can pass it off to Elize as an early birthday gift."

Ultraman was walking off before his communicator beeped.

"Didja get marked?" Heat Wave asked.

"I did. It's only a matter of time before they find the hideout now." Ultraman answered.

"Just to be sure, we're zippin our lips about this to Kai, right?" Heat Wave said.

"Yeah, we ain't tellin' that beak brain." MR said. "Unless y'all want to become red stains."

"I'm well aware of the risk. You know, there is still time. You two can always claim to have never been involved." Ultraman said.

"Hey, I may not be as devoted to this "Anti-God" cause as you, but I ain't gonna turn my back on you." Heat Wave said. "We're in this together."

"Ditto, yo! Can't wait for karma to catch that mofo!" MR said.

"...Thanks guys. All we need to do is wait now." Ultraman said.

Meanwhile with the heroes…

"Okay...seems Nighteye has all the info now. Looks they're still using the same base. There's a series of underground passages underneath it." Jexi said.

"And we've also been given a warrant from the police to go and search the place." Elementa said.

"All that's left now is to barge in there, find Eri and bust Overhaul." Hope said.

"Uh...remember. Finding the girl is top priority. The police were able to give us a list of current Hassaikai members and their Quirks. Be sure to commit their names, faces and powers to memory." Jexi said. "The operation begins at 8:30 sharp."

"Speaking of which…" Cheetah said, looking to Captain Cold. "I know it's not really my place to pry, but… Are you willing to fight Heat Wave if it comes down to it?"

"Are you feeling alright yourself? Showing concern for others isn't something you'd normally do." Captain Cold said.

"I know of your history with Heat Wave in the Rogues. I was only concerned for how you feel about him with the Elders. Nothing more." Cheetah said.

"I was actually surprised he's been brought back to life, to be honest. But I know Mick. He may be a crazed pyromaniac, but he's not completely heartless. He wouldn't revel in the suffering of people that have nothing to do with our business. I don't think he's fully committed to their cause, and he obviously wants answers from me. Thus, there's only one way either of us will get the answers we're looking for." Captain Cold said.

"I see. You want to confront him. That's how you'll get your answers. And Heatwave's his." Cheetah said.

"Damn right. A lot has obviously happened since Grodd roped us all in with Brainiac, hasn't it? We're basically fighting the same fight as back then, just under different circumstances." Captain Cold said.

Cheetah smiled. "I won't stop you from seeking him out then. Be sure to ask him everything you want to."

"You got it. We've got a lot to catch up on, anyway." Captain Cold said.

"Okay. Let's get prepared." Mark said as the group split up to prepare for the raid.

It was later that morning at 8:30, the heroes and the police arrived in front of the base of the Shie Hassaikai.

"Attention Shie Hassaikai members, we have a…" the chief began before the door was broken wide open as a large muscular man broke through it and knocked back a few members of the police.

"Ah...now I'm starting to wake up. So...who are you guys?" he growled as he went on the attack.

"This is going to be a problem." Ryukyu said before shifting into her dragon form as she and the man clashed as everyone else charged into the hideout.

"Attention Shie Hassaikai members, we have an official warrant to search the premises!" the chief shouted.

"They actually got a warrant?" one of the grunts said.

"So what? We won't let 'em through." another said as they fired leaves at them. The police blocked the attack with their riot shields as the local heroes restrained them.

"They sure lead with a brawler, these guys ain't messing around!" Rock Lock said.

"These are yakuza we're dealing with. They aren't exactly known for being lax." Scarlet said.

"Let's just keep it going. We can't slow down now." Jexi said as they charged through the grunts.

"Let's go!" they all shouted.
