From fighting the villains, Hein, Lilac, and Zoe were knocked out proving that they couldn't be able to beat them.

Remy and Shiromi watched as Magne uses her Quirk to pull Mandalay towards him. Suddenly, Tiger punches Magne which frees Mandalay from Magne's grasp. Tiger punches Magne again, but this time Magne is able to block Tiger's attack.

Mandalay: Tiger...Something is wrong.

Tiger: What is it?!

Mandalay: I am unable to communicate with Ragdoll. It's strange since she normally answers me immediately.

Magne and the other villains smirked upon hearing this.

Magne: Oh...I wonder why~~~!

-Meanwhile-

At the League of Villains' hideout, Kurogiri wonders if the Vanguard Action Squad will be able to handle the mission.

Shigaraki: They'll be fine.

Tomura decides that it is not time for him to reappear and begins to comment on his gameplay.

Shigaraki grew angry when he lost at Mario Kart.

Shigaraki: Stupid Shitty Game.

He turned the controller to ash.

Kurogiri: Niko...is not going to like this.

Shigaraki: Fuck Niko! He's a little bitch!

Although that his gameplay was faulty when he first attempted to murder All Might and now he has decided to let pawns take down the ones up high before aiming for the final boss.

Shigaraki: I intend for the Vanguard Action Squad to make a crack in the superhuman society.

Kurogiri had known Shigaraki was noting that the Vanguard Action Squad's endeavors at Class 1-A, Class 1-B, and Class 1-C training camp will be a blow for the Pro Heroes whether they succeed or not.

Kurogiri: So do the Vanguard Action Squad means nothing to you...

Tomura rebuffs Kurogiri's claim.

Shigaraki: I respects the Vanguard Action Squad's strength and I personally hopes they succeed.

Kurogiri:....Hmmm....

Tomura continues to say that while they have their differences, they can rely on each other because both he and Kurogiri are not the only ones oppressed by society's rules.

Kurogiri: Also...This file that Niko gave you...Is it possible it was received to him by another villain?

Shigaraki: Plausible. But he wouldn't give me the name. But he seems to know more than he's letting on.

Kurogiri: What are you saying, young master?

Shigaraki:.....What I'm saying is...Why do I get the feeling he and his little crew of misfits are hiding something...

-Plus Ultra-

Geysis: I still can't believe we were fighting a clone!

A little while ago, somewhere in the forest, it is revealed that the Dabi Shouta and Geysis were fighting was a clone courtesy of a villain called Twice with a duplicating Quirk.

Aizawa: It doesn't matter now. What matters is finding any student that is gravely injured or fighting a villain.

???: A-Aizawa-Sensei! Geysis-Sensei!

Both of them stopped at the familiar voice.

Geysis: It's Yukimura!

The both ran into the direction from where they heard his voice!

Eventually, they found him with the two boys.

Aizawa: Yukimura....

Mikoto: Sensei....

Geysis: Ah. Great to see your alright...Wait. What's wrong? Why do you look shaken up?

Sora and Kota looked at Mikoto, there were bags underneath his eyes from what looked like he was crying.

Both Geysis and Aizawa both shared an concerned look.

Aizawa: Yukimura?

Mikoto: It-It's the villains! They got Sylvia and Yin!

Aizawa: WHAT?!

Geysis:....(Shit!)

Mikoto: I...have to go.

Geysis: What are you talking about kid?

Sora: Mr. Snowball?

Mikoto:..... Geysis-Sensei. Aizawa-Sensei. Watch Kota and Sora for me.

Aizawa: Wait! What are you-?!

Mikoto quickly took off in the woods.

Sora: MR. SNOWBALL!!!

Geysis: YUKIMURA! GODDAMNIT THAT KID!

Aizawa: He and Midoriya. Both problem children. I swear....

Kota:....

Somewhere deep in the forest, the real Dabi had asked the duplicating quirk villain to make two doubles of him so that he can resume his fight with Shota, to which Twice complies.

Dabi: That was almost two easy. I can't believe we were able to fool two underground heroes.

Twice: Yeah! They were stupid/This plan was stupid!

Dabi rolled his eyes. Annoying.

Dabi: Seems like Niko completed his mission. Let's go. We still got two more kids to get.

Twice: You got it/I don't care!

Elsewhere in the forest, Mustard destroys Tetsutetsu's mask.

Kendo: Tetsutetsu!

Tetsutetsu holds his breath and tries attacking again, but Mustard and Juurou fires their gun again, which stops Tetsutetsu.

Mustard then criticizes Tetsutetsu for only using brawns instead of strategy; he senses Itsuka's presence nearby and fires at her.

However, Tetsutetsu uses his steel body to block the gas user's attack, saving Itsuka. Tetsutetsu is injured in the process and starts becoming dizzy due to the gas.

Mustard: You can't do anything as long as I can sense anything in the gas that he controls.

Mustard then mocks Tetsutetsu's Quirk as well as lack of intelligence and is disappointed that despite training to be a hero, he doesn't use strategy.

The villain expresses his frustration at U.A.'s system and takes his anger out on Tetsutetsu by firing more bullets.

Suddenly, Itsuka enlarges her right hand and smacks Mustard away.

Juurou: Oooooh...

Miyumi: That's gotta hurt. Should we help.

Chassy: You forget that your fight is with me! Star Rain!

A spiritual blast of stars aimed right at Miyumi but were soon disabled by Juurou's gun who shot them all!

Kelly charges and used his sword against Miyumi's knife.

They both struggle in trying to outmatch each other. Kelly was lucky Miyumi couldn't take off her mask at the moment or else he would've been screwed.

Seeing that the gas is a hindrance, Itsuka enlarges her hands and uses them to swirl the gas away.

Itsuka: You're both are such cowards by using a gun to fight. Mustard prepares to fire his gun at Itsuka for her insult.

Mustard: Well. You gotta go what you gotta do when it comes to fight like this!

Out of nowhere, Tetsutetsu appears behind the villain, who was unable to notice Tetsutetsu's presence due to the gas dispersing courtesy of Itsuka. Tetsutetsu holds his breath and punches Mustard in the face with his steel fist, which crushes his mask and in the process causes him to become unconscious. The victorious Tetsutetsu lies down on the ground and regains his breath.

Juurou: Shit! Looks like we're outmatched now.

Miyumi: Let's go.

Juurou: What about Mustard.

Miyumi: Forget him. He's not worth our time anyway! He's deadweight.

Miyumi kicks Kelly in the abdomen sending him back. Chassy tried to stop the fleeing villains but Kelly's body ended up colliding into hers.

Kelly: S-Sorry...

Chassy: I-It's okay...Ow...

Kelly gets off her and looks around. The poison gas soon distinguish but the two villains were already gone.

Kelly: We lost them...

Kendo: At least we got one of them. Even if he was a hypocritical coward. I can't help but feel sorry for him. His teammates had just abandoned him....

Chassy: Yeah....

Now back in control, Fumikage thanks Katsuki and Shouto for saving him. Mezo is glad that Fumikage is fine.

However, Fumikage is regretful that he couldn't conceal his anger when Mezo lost one of his arms, which caused him to release Dark Shadow out of anger and lose control due to being enraged and spurred on by Dark Shadow's own rage.

Tokoyami: I'm sorry for harming you...

Mezo: It's alright. You don't need to feel guilty.

Tokoyami:.....

Izuku: T-Tokoyami-kunm...our top priority is to protect Kacchan, who is the target of the villains'. We should escort Kacchan back to the facility and take a shortcut through the forest to do so...

zuku thinks that with the power of Mezo's scouting capabilities, Shoto's powerful Quirk and the unrivaled power of Fumikage's Dark Shadow, escorting Katsuki will be a cinch.

Bakugo:.....

However, Katsuki is still angry that he needs protecting and refuses their help.

The Bakugo Escort Squad (consisting of Mezo, Shoto, Izuku, and Fumikage) begin escorting a begrudging Katsuki back to the facility...

Although...That still won't be easy...

They found Uraraka and Tsuyu who were gravely injured from battling Toga awhile ago...

Although...the girl was nowhere in sight in seem.

Mezo: Are you two okay?

Tsuyu: Barely...But we'll manage...

Uraraka: OMG! Deku-kun! Are you okay?!

Deku: Yeah...I'm fine.

Tsuyu: You do not look fine at all, Midoriya. You need to get to medical attention and fast.

Deku: I-It's okay! I swear I'm fine. Right now! Let's just get to the facility so we can get Kacchan there safe and sound.

Tsuyu: Umm...Midoriya...

Deku:....Yeah?

Tsuyu: If you say that...Then how come Bakugo-kun isn't with you?

Deku: HUH?!

Deku and everyone else turned their heads to see the masked villain, Compress, appears on a tree branch and reveals that he used his "magic" to take Katsuki by turning him into a marble.

Compress: You heroes don't deserve someone of Bakugo's caliber. He will shine even brighter on the villains' side~!

This provoked Deku into anger.

Deku: GIVE KACCHAN BACK!!!

Mr. Compress dodges everyone's attacks especially Shouto trying to freeze the tree branch he was on.

Mr. Compress explains that his mission was to capture only Katsuki, but after seeing Fumikage overpower and defeat Moonfish so easily, he decided to kidnap Fumikage as well because of his powerfulquirk and notes that he will prove to be useful. Shouto hands Kosei to Ochako.

After doing so, Shouto uses his Giant Ice Wall attack in an attempt to immobilize Mr. Compress.

However, Mr. Compress evades and apologizes for only running away and deceiving, admitting that is what he's good at.

He takes off deep into the woods as informs the Vanguard Action Squad. that their targets have been acquired.

Niko: So how did it go~?

Mr. Compresss: All the targets have been captured. The mission is done. We have five minutes to rendezvous at the "collection point".
