"Let's keep moving! We can't let the time Suneater bought us go to waste!" Fat Gum said as they continued down the halls.

"Weird...doesn't look like he's shifting this hall. He must be focusing on the police upstairs." Jexi said. "That means his awareness doesn't extend to the entire underground."

"If that's the case, he must need to relocate to different locations to try and stop us." Hope said.

"That has to be it. He can't control the whole place at once. So he's likely moving through the walls." Jexi said.

"He'll likely need to use an eye or an ear to keep tabs on an area. If we can see any of those...he's done for." Inosuke said. "Hmm...stop!"

Part of the wall started to morph and change as a large arm shot out and moved at Aizawa.

"He knows about Eraserhead's Quirk. He's trying to knock him out before he can erase it." Elementa said.

"Not happening!" Fat Gum said, pushing Aizawa out of the way. "(If we don't stop these guys now, Tamaki leaving himself behind will be for nothing. C'mon Eraser… do your thing!)"

"Be careful, Fat!" Eraser called.

Fat Gum was then thrust into a hole created by Irinaka, forcing him deeper underground and ending up in a darkened area. He then heard muffling as he got up.

"Ah...finally I can breath." Eijiro said.

"How did you end up with me?" Fat Gum asked.

"I was trying to save Mr. Aizawa. I wasn't expecting you to jump like that. But it looks like we're...huh?" Eijiro pondered before seeing someone running at them. He quickly hardened before he was sent flying right into a wall with his arms cracking.

"Y'know what I think? Knives and guns have no place in a fight. Anyone can win if they have a weapon, that's the way for cowards. A real fighter uses nothing but his own strength." the man said. "Are you a real fighter?"

"You know I am!" Fat Gum said, trying to land a punch only to hit a barrier. "What?"

"Rappa, keep in mind. We both must work together in order to win this." said a man in robes with a plague mask.

"These guys...they weren't on the list." Fat Gum said. "One has strong fists and the other can create barriers. This isn't good."

"A spear and shield. That's what we are." the other man said. "Whereas you two are simply two shields. Though I doubt one of them even counts as that."

"What? Lame. Who'd win a fight with two shields?" Rappa said.

"If you feel so confident, then come on and fight me! I'll take every last one of those hits and still be left standing!" Fat Gum said.

"All right! The fat guy gets me! All right, let's do this!" Rappa said as he rapidly fought against Fat Gum and got in blow after blow.

"(Argh…. This guy's strong! His punches are going right through my fat!)" Fat Gum thought as they rapidly beat against him.

Eijiro continued to stand in the back, freezing up as he recounted his middle school days and most of his life in its entirety. He also remembered something. Words of the hero who inspired him. Finally getting the courage he needed he charged right in and stood to protect Fat Gum from more incoming punches.

"Red?" Fat Gum said.

"It doesn't matter if this guy breaks through my hardening, I'll just make it harder and harden again and again!" Eijiro shouted. "Stay strong! Protect others! Even if it means your life!"

As they went for a punch at each other, Eijiro only hit the barrier.

"The shield? Now?" Rappa said.

"Of course. Don't be a fool." the man said.

"You both are the fools." Fat Gum said standing there with a massive amount of power in his fist. "But so am I. We all...underestimated a hero named Red Riot...and his chivalrous spirit!" he shouted unleashing the powered up punch, breaking right through the barrier and taking both of them out. "Red….good work out there."

"Who are you?" Ejiro asked.

"It's me, Fat Gum! I just look like this because I burned through all my fat." Fat Gum said.

"Fat...I'll...protect you and...stay strong...whatever it...takes." Eijiro groaned before passing out.

"Don't worry. We'll get you patched up." Fat Gum said before seeing Rappa get up. "Oh come on."

"You...there's a medical room there. We can get patched up there. And bring that kid...no...bring that man with you." Rappa said as he headed over as while a little confused, Fat Gum and Eijiro followed him.
