Chapter 42: Just like the old days
Once outside, Charming suggest that they should split up and check each side of an area, causing Bearman to compliment his idea before letting Once-ler go with Breegull while Charming remains with him. Meanwhile, the Warcraft of Doom just got reports about the Midoriya twins being interns at Banjo-Kazooie Agency from a minion, causing Pomegranate to thanked him before telling her comrades about her idea to capture Once-ler and make her either give them one for all or be part of their ranks whether she likes it or not, which caused everyone to agree before Thunder summoned a witch named Gruntilda, so Randall can task her with the mission to bring Once-ler to them. After Gruntilda agrees to go to south America and capture Once-ler, she set off on her broom as the Warcraft of Doom laughs evilly. Meanwhile, back at South America, the twins and their mentors went to their meeting spot to discuss the suspicion of machine that was found by civilians, causing Once-ler to get eager to fight any villain that built the machine, causing Charming to tell her to calm down because they don't know what's the machine is for, which also caused Kazooie to call some fellow heroes of South America and told them that they are going to need help in case the Warcraft of Doom are up to something.
Meanwhile, Gruntilda reached an area of South America, where the suspicious machine and her sisters Mingella and Blobbelda are located. Gruntilda then land next to her sisters and told them about the mission to bring Once-ler to the Warcraft of Doom, causing them to tell her that since Once-ler is reckless and aggressive, she'll most likely put up a fight that could potentially kill them, which also caused Gruntilda to agree before saying that there's a reason why they built the machine in the first place. She then introduced her sisters to the quirk proof cage mobile, which is a machine that will capture any hero while Gruntilda drives, causing Mingella to admire it while Blobbelda asks Gruntilda what she and Mingella are going to do to help, which also caused Gruntillda to say that she and Mingella can prevent other heroes (especially Charming) from interfering with the mission. After Gruntilda's sisters became excited to help, the three witches set off on their brooms to confront Once-ler.
Back at Bearman-Breegull Agency, the twins played poker with their mentors until Enigma and another sidekick rushed in and told them that there are witches causing trouble, causing Once-ler to get up and say that she's ready to take down any villain that tries to destroy peace and harmony, which also caused Charming to refuse since there's only two witches harassing civilians. After Breegull told Once-ler to stay put, Once-ler pouted before Gruntilda breaks in and try to put her into the cage mobile, which caused a moment of fighting to begin as Once-ler use Detroit smash on the witch. However, she deflected it with magic before activating the machine. After Once-ler thought for a moment, Once-ler uses her strength to break free, which got Charming, Bearman, and Breegull's attention as Mingella and Blobbelda helped their sister carry Once-ler away. Charming then gives the witches a cold death glare before flying after them as he told them to let go of his twin sister. Gruntilda then told Charming that they are going to take Once-ler to the Warcraft of Doom, and nobody is going to stop them, which caused Hisashi to show a bit of fury before Gruntilda blasted him away with her magic much to Once-ler shocked and fury. The witches then decided to teleport to Gruntilda's lair to deal with Once-ler first afterwards. Meanwhile, Charming reported that the witches were creating a distraction so the leader can capture Once-ler and bring her to the Warcraft of Doom, causing Bearman to say, "here we go again". Charming then gets confused as Bearman told him that he knows Gruntilda because she was the one who killed his sister, now she's back to probably help the Warcraft of Doom destroy peace and harmony, just like she did in the old days.
