Later that night, Carina examined Selene, Diana, and Aisha sleeping inside the soundproof stasis tanks.

I won't let that Shigaraki creep take Ursula under his grasps. Carina thought. If Shigaraki does anything fatal with her, he will have to answer to me. But now, it's time for Daku's mind-controlling enhancement on these girls.

Diana, Aisha, and Selene began to stir from their slumber. As they woke up, they looked around and each other as they became startled through the glass.

"Oh, you're finally awake." Carina said.

"Who are you?" Diana demanded. "And what do you want with us?"

"I'm glad you ask." Carina said casually. She leaned forward in front of Diana with a sinister smile. "Because what I want from you three is…your loyalty to the Amarante Coven."


Meanwhile, all pro heroes arrived in the meeting room. Detective Tsukauchi have recruited every pro hero for this rescue mission. Specifically All Might, Tarot Chariot, Endeavor, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Gang Orca, Gran Torino, Tiger, Kamui Woods, Morganite, Mt. Lady, Zodiac Moon, Black King, White Queen, Amazonite, and Vondergeist.

"We've gathered some of our finest heroes here today." Tsukauchi spoke. "Now, let's talk strategy."

Together, all of the pro are prepared for their new mission to take on the League of Villains and rescue the U.A. students.


Back in the League of Villains' hideout, Tomura and the rest of the villains prepared to offer the kidnapped U.A. students into joining the path of villainy.

"I'll ask you and Luna Yagi one more time, Katsuki Bakugo. Aspiring heroes. Will you join the League of Villains?" Tomura asked.

Katsuki brought out a taunting smirk on his face.

"Go throw yourself into traffic." Katsuki replied vehemently.

Tomura narrowed his eyes behind his mask. But he ignored their refusal and turned the TV back on with the remote. Everyone turned their heads as they watched another news broadcast on the screen. The broadcast recorded a press meeting that featured Eraserhead, Nezu, and Vlad King representing U.A. High. They publicly apologized for allowing their students to come to harm in the hands of villains.

To Luna's wide eyes, she predicted that anyone who are watching the news will eventually turn their trust against U.A. High.

Then, Tomura turned off the TV with the remote and turned around at Katsuki and Luna.

"Isn't that strange? The heroes are becoming the bad guys." Tomura commented. "Seems like they're not dealing with this very well at all. So much criticism. But everyone makes a mistake or two, right? It's not like they're supposed to be perfect. Modern-day heroes sure had it rough. Don't you think, Bakugo and Luna?"

"Once a hero receives payment to protect people, they aren't the real hero anymore." Spinner added. "That's what Stain's actions taught us."

"A hero in this current system only cares about money and glory." Tomura continued. "And since society buys into those idiotic rules, anyone deemed the losers shove aside. So, we want to post some questions. What is a hero? What is justice? Is the society truly fair? Soon, everyone will be asking. That's what we'll know we've won. And you'll like winning, don't you?"

Katsuki kept glaring hard at Tomura with a growl. Luna remained silent as she only narrowed her eyes in pure anger at Tomura.

Tomura then stood up from his seat as he started walking his way in front of Luna.

"What are you doing now?" Luna demanded.

"Just thinking about their previous encounter." Tomura answered. He leaned his face closer to Luna, who was looking at him uncomfortably. "You know, if it wasn't for my Quirk..."

"Get away from her, you creep bastard!" Katsuki yelled angrily. "Try anything funny on her and I'll kill you and everyone in here! You got that?!"

Tomura glanced sideways at Katsuki, silently sensing that the hotblooded student has sudden feelings for Luna. Luna glanced at Katsuki with a warm smile, which was something that caught Tomura's attention. Tomura narrowed his eyes with a hint of jealously, but he moved away from Luna and sat back to his seat.

"Dabi, let them go." Tomura ordered calmly.

"Huh?" Dabi asked in disbelief. He turned around to Tomura. "You know they'll just fight."

"It's fine. We're recruiting them, so we should treat them as equals." Tomura explained. He then looked back at the glaring Katsuki and Luna. "Besides, they're smart enough to know they can't take us all, right? After all, U.A. students are so clever."

"Hey, Twice. You do it." Dabi ordered Twice.

"Sure thing!" Twice obeyed. He randomly changed his mind. "No way."

"Do it." Dabi said firmly.

"Oh, man." Twice whined.

Twice walked over to unlock the restraints on Katsuki and Luna.

"I do apologize for such forceful methods." Mr. Compass apologized. "But please understand that we aren't some kind of unruly mob committing crimes without a third act in mind. We didn't kidnap you both by accident."

"Even though our backgrounds are different, everyone here has suffered." Tomura said as he stood up out of his seat again. He then approached slowly towards Katsuki and Luna. "Because of people. Rules. And heroes who try to hold us back. I'm sure you're the same, Bakugo. But Luna, on the other hand,…"

After Twice finally released Katsuki and Luna off their restraints, Katsuki and Luna shared knowing expressions on their faces. Luna fired out a powerful blast of pink energy that sent Twice crashing to the wall, while Katsuki immediately blasted Tomura's mask off his face with an explosion. Those bold moves made the entire villains surprisingly silent.

"Shigaraki!" Twice shouted.

Then, Katsuki stood in front of Luna.

"I'm done listening to your endless talking. Can you not get to the point, or do you just like your own voice? Basically, what you're saying is you wanna cause some trouble and you want us to join you. Well, screw you." Katsuki declared. He let out a dangerous smile at Tomura. "I like to win. I wanna win just like All Might. No matter what you have to offer me, that will never change, do you understand?" He then held Luna close to him. "And another thing. Come anywhere closer to her and I'll kick your ass."

Luna looked at Katsuki with wide eyes. She then smiled softly, seeing that same fierce determination she had fallen in love with.

"Thank you." Luna whispered.

Katsuki looked at Luna with small blush on his cheeks, but he didn't say a word and looked at the villains, especially Tomura. The villainous leader narrowed his eyes angrily as he started seeing an instant spark between the two teens.
