Onto the next arc! Again, this one is a bit messy, so apologies for that. This arc is mainly more to set things up for the next few arcs than it is for much else.

But with that out the way, I present to you: Hollywood!


In the week that Peter and All Might were stranded in the past, Ochako and the rest of the Spider-Gang would spend that time helping to move Izuku back into his home, adjusting to his presence once again and helping with his physical therapy sessions as best as they could. As it turns out, Izuku's muscles and body are still suffering from the effects of being in a vegetative state for so long, and it is only now, thanks to the doctors and their various quirks, that his skeletal structure has been healed enough for him to walk around without a cane, at least for short periods of time. Izuku is a little ashamed of himself for not thinking of that sooner, especially when he had been wrapped up in his own jealousy and envy, but his friends and family don't blame him for it.

However, others do not feel the same way, as with Izuku's awakening and release from the hospital, there is now a fiery debate raging across the media on whether or not he should be arrested and held accountable for what Venom did during the War of the Symbiotes, as while Izuku wasn't in control of himself during that time, it could be argued that he had influenced Venom into carrying out his crimes against Japan, and should be held to account for it in lieu of Venom himself.

As such, the Midoriya apartment and the people inside find themselves under assault from a deluge of journalists and reporters, particularly one reporter that Keemia recognises as Chitose Kuzuki, the one who had harassed her before for any inside information on the F.E.A.S.T.. Even in the face of threats to have her practice investigated, she didn't relent from the idea of chasing down another story.

Not only that, but the gang would soon find themselves facing harassment from various pro heroes for Izuku's part in the War of the Symbiotes, all of them egged on by the likes of Overhaul, Slidin' Go secretly on behalf of the MLA, and the FeatherHATS for what happened to Kazuho. Eventually, the gang are forced to add security measures to the apartment once one too many people try to throw a brick through their windows.

Meanwhile, Momo is facing even more challenges, as a new movement named the Life Foundation has sprung up in competition to her Future Foundation, acting as a direct parallel to what she wanted to accomplish, but with the backing of several major funders. It boasts itself to be the hope of the maligned and the hopeless, and worse yet, Momo's parents push themselves forward as one of the major funders of it, forcing Momo to attend several meetings for it as a way to demoralise her.

Worse yet, her dizzy spells in U.A. have only been getting worse and worse, as she feels like her memory is becoming increasingly patchy the more she goes on with the incredibly difficult training. She knows that the others in her class are feeling the same as well, and Aizawa is beginning to grow even more paranoid and hostile. They'd all raised complaints to him before, but now they know better.

She is beginning to doubt whether she should be staying in U.A. anymore, even when she knows that this is the only way now for her to become a hero. However, she is also beginning to doubt on whether she wants to become a hero anymore, or even if she wants to create the Future Foundation on top of that, as she has become increasingly demoralised thanks to both the intensive and almost debilitating training and the actions of the Life Foundation.

Thankfully, it is Hatsume, who, at this point, has taken up the role of Momo's best friend, who encourages her to stay the course and hold firm, and Momo makes this point clear during one of the meetings that her parents forced her to attend.

But later that day, when she is wandering about the city, utterly exhausted from Aizawa's training and somewhat dazed from it, she is suddenly jumped by three thugs. Unfortunately, in her tired state, she had forgotten to bring her Iron Spider suit with her and is viciously beaten by the three men.

However, she is suddenly saved, not by a hero, but by Kaine, the same clone that had attacked her not too long ago. Momo is surprised to see him, but does give him her thanks as Kaine ponders as to why these thugs had targeted her.

But then, they find a phone on one of them, and Kaine is able to trace the last number that was called back to a member of Detnerat, revealing that it was possibly Rikiya himself who had ordered the hit on her. Kaine encourages Momo to look into this herself, as his hands were busy with tracking down Iida and investigating S.I.L.K., so she'd have to do this without him. He also encouraged her to keep this to herself. It's getting harder and harder to know who to trust these days.

Back with the Spider-Gang, they find themselves growing increasingly harassed by the more fervent of the FeatherHATS' fans, and they set out to put a stop to it. Looking into the group, they endeavour to try and catch them during one of their meetings and bust them for what they are trying to do.

However, they soon find themselves in a confrontation with the two remaining lead singers of the FeatherHATS, that being Miu and Yu, who are now calling themselves Shriek and Paper Doll, and they rally the most zealous of their fans to attack the Spider-Gang, leading to an all-out duel between the two groups as the Spider-Gang are forced to defend themselves against what amounted to a crowd of riotous civilians.

During this fight, Ochako, as the Sakura Spider, finds herself going up against Shriek, who repeatedly tries to kill her as revenge for what had happened to Kazuho, revealing that she had been in love with her, despite Kazuho having been in a long-distance relationship with Koichi. It is also then that Ochako is able to get Shriek to lose her cool and rant about her part in Toga's plan to intimidate and ruin Spider-Man's reputation, turning it into a public confession and getting it recorded and put on social media.

Upon hearing this, the rabid fans of the FeatherHATS would instantly cool and realise who they were fighting for, calming down and choosing to leave. Shriek, enraged by this, would flee and drag Paper Doll and the other FeatherHATS along with them. Ochako and the Spider-Gang would try to chase after her, but would end up losing her in the chaos. The gang would at least be satisfied that one of their many enemies wouldn't be able to make a move against them for a while.

However, Shriek wouldn't be willing to back down. She would begin making plans of her own once again, thinking up ways to get one up on Spider-Man and his family of spiders once again, ways to finally get justice for Kazuho and-

Paper Doll, Yu, would stop her, and tell Miu that she was done.

She was going to turn herself in.

She was tired. Tired and ridden with guilt. She has helped kill people. She has blood on her hands now, and she can't take it anymore.

This isn't what Kazuho would've wanted.

Miu is furious at her, yelling about how Kazuho's murder had gone without justice, without penance, but the other FeatherHATS would speak up in agreement with Yu. Spider-Man hadn't been the one to kill Kazuho, they all know this now. Whoever it was, they would get their comeuppance soon enough. However, this? This isn't justice. This is blind revenge against someone who probably didn't deserve it.

Miu is too lost in her revenge to understand, but Yu and the other FeatherHATS do. They ask Miu to come with them, to do the right thing, but she's too blinded by her anger to listen. As such, she rejects them, and Yu and the FeatherHATS leave her, alone.

In a fit of rage and sorrow, Miu would run off to the League of Villains, meeting up with Toga, Dabi, Moonfish, Spinner, and Mustard, who are acting independently now that Shigaraki is temporarily out of the picture. She tells them that her friends had abandoned her, that they had chosen to side with the people who killed Kazuho rather than try to find justice for her. Toga, however, simply counters that they were dead weight anyway, and that they didn't matter.

Her Symbiote was ready.

Soon enough, hero society would burn for what it had done to them, and they would finally be able to do what they had always wanted to do.

For Miu and Spinner, it is justice. For the rest, it is simply to do whatever the hell they wanted, as they wrap the world in the one thing that they have always dreamed of:

Absolute carnage.
