Chapter 140: Kouna vs the Anti-hero Squad
Meanwhile, Kouna and her mom Ochaco walked through the shopping area of Braveworks and bought some stuff to take home before getting something to eat at Gustavo's. Kouna then told her mom that she's going to be part of a performance for the festival before explaining that her classmates except Thomas are part of the dance team, Wendell, Madeline, Thomas, Rico, and Peter are part of the band team, and everyone else are part of special effect and crew team. Ochaco then made excited noises until Kouna calms her down just in time as Cleo came in to tell her that she's needed to get rope for Mia, causing Kouna herself to say ok as she and Ochaco got up. Cleo then gives Kouna money before sternly whisper to her that she not only has enough money for rope, but everyone will be waiting for her because their performance is at 8:00 pm. After Kouna agree not to waste time, she set off as a montage of her looking for a store that sell rope begins. Soon, the montage ends with Kouna finally finding a store that sells rope.
Soon, Kouna got out with rope in her left hand, and a free slushie in her right hand before heading back to Braveworks Academy. On her way back, she encountered a group of strangers that looks suspiciously familiar, which caused her to ask if they needed help. After one of the strangers nervously say no, Kouna got more suspicious until she noticed a termite peeking out of the female stranger's outfit, causing Kouna herself to realized that she just ran into the Anti-hero Squad. The squad then look at each other before revealing that they are indeed the Anti-hero Squad. Wade then told Kouna that they were just leaving now that they have hidden a bomb somewhere on the island, causing Kouna herself to get furious and demand the villains to tell her where the bomb is. After the squad refused, Kouna put the rope down and threw away her slushie before she began clashing with the squad. Soon, the squad themselves quickly ran through the island as Kouna chase them until they reached Minecoaster Mountain.
The Anti-hero Squad quickly use their inventions and Tabitha's quirk to try to get rid of Kouna, but she easily dodges them all much to their surprise, which caused them to get on a minecart to escape. After getting through holes in walls, the squad got caught by Kouna, who then start engaging them in a fight, causing the squad themselves to activate their emergency robot service to get powerful gears and weapons to enhance Tabitha's quirk. Soon, Kouna uses her zero-gravity quirk to make the robots float before launching herself toward the squad to use Detroit smash on them. However, Nelson uses one of the new inventions to blast her away as he and his team laugh evilly. Suddenly, Kouna uses her strength and one for all to overpower the squad before finishing them off with one for all: blast off, which caused them to fly off into the sky, leaving Kouna to glare at the sky before deciding to find the bomb herself.
