As Kirishima and Kaminari were being held prisoner by the Shadow Collective, the Ground Zeroes tried to conduct a search for their kidnapped squad mates, but came up with nothing. On the Bomber, Sero had taken over pilot duties. Mina became increasingly concerned while Bakugo simply grew angrier.

Mina: Did you find anything, Sero?

Sero: I'm not picking up anything, Mina. I'm sorry.

Mina: There has to be something we can use. There has to be!

Sero: I'm sorry, Mina. I got nothing.

The gravity of the situation became dire to the remaining members of the Ground Zeroes. Mina quickly realized that they in need of help.

Mina: We're in way over our heads! Sero, see if you can contact Midoriya or Yaoyorozu. We could use their help.

Before Sero could try and make contact, Bakugo immediately stopped him.

Bakugo: We don't need anyone's help! Especially not fucking Deku!

Upon hearing this, Mina was shocked. Two of their team mates were now prisoners of the Cyclonians and Bakugo was refusing help. 

Mina: Why?! We're in way over our heads and we need help!

Bakugo: No we fucking don't, Raccoon Eyes! We can handle this ourselves!

Mina: Clearly we can't! Look at us! Two of our team mates have been kidnapped and we don't know where they are! They could be anywhere on Atmos by now! They might even be dead!

Bakugo: Then we'll fucking find them! We don't need anybody's help! We'll find Sparky and Shitty Hair ourselves! When we do find them and bail their asses out, I'm gonna fucking kill them for getting themselves captured in the first place!

As Bakugo said this, Mina grew more and more frustrated at Bakugo for his unwillingness to ask for help from the other squadrons. 

Sero: Even if we could do it ourselves, how would we even begin to track them down? We don't have any tracks to go on. 

Bakugo: Doesn't fucking matter, Plain Face! We'll find them!

Mina's frustrations soon grew to the point of rage. In a fit of anger, Mina punched Bakugo in the face. The force of the punch was enough to knock him to the ground. Bakugo was silent as he slowly get up. 

Mina: I don't know what your problem is with Midoriya, but I won't let your ego cost Kirishima and Kaminari their lives! They need us and we're in way over our heads!

Bakugo: I'm the fucking leader of this squadron and I say we don't need anyone's fucking help! If you got a fucking problem with that, then you can take a fucking hike!

Mina's anger with Bakugo grew as she was getting ready to throw another punch. Bakugo grabbed both her arms and restrained her. Sero soon stepped in. 

Sero: Listen! We can't fall apart like this! We need to stick together. 

Bakugo: Plain Face is right. We got bigger things to worry about. We need to find those Cyclonian assholes fast!

Sero: But Mina's right, Bakugo. Even if we find them, we're outnumbered. We have no idea where they're going. For all we know, they be taking them all the way to Terra Cyclonia. If that's the case, then we're seriously outgunned. I know you want to do it all yourself, but this is suicide. We need all the help we can get! 

As Sero said this, Bakugo lets Mina go and looks out the window. He reflected on the situation at hand. Despite wanting to handle the situation himself, Bakugo knew that deep down, Sero and Mina were right. 

Bakugo: Goddamn it....GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!

Bakugo then punches at the wall next to him, leaving a big dent. Bakugo's anger and frustration soon took it's toll on him as he reflected on his own personal vendetta against Midoriya. He always looked down on him for being weak, yet despite this, Midoriya always respected Bakugo. 

Bakugo: God fucking damn it.....

Bakugo then took a moment to collect his thoughts. Deep down, he wanted nothing more than to rescue his team mates. Despite their shortcomings, Bakugo couldn't leave them. Not only that, Bakugo knew that he couldn't do it by himself despite his ego saying otherwise. 

Mina: Bakugo...please. We can't do it ourselves. There's no shame in asking for help. All Might brought us all together for a reason. We all want the same thing. We all want to protect Atmos. 

Bakugo took a deep breath as he thought about his decision. Despite not wanting to ask for help, Bakugo knew Mina was right. Bakugo's concern for his team mates would override his massive ego.

Bakugo: God fucking damn it. I can't believe I'm actually fucking doing this. Plain Face! You and Raccoon Eyes try to get a hold of Deku's squad! While you're at it, give Ponytail a call as well! Tell them we need some assistance. Give them our coordinates so we can meet up. 

Mina and Sero smiled upon Bakugo's orders. For a brief moment, there was silent. But Bakugo quickly revered back to his old self. 

Bakugo: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO STANDING AROUND?! GO UP AND CALL THOSE FUCKING WANNABE SKY KNIGHTS NOW! SHITTY HAIR AND SPARKY STILL NEED OUR HELP!

With that, Mina and Sero began to try and make contact with both the Emerald Sentinels and the Noble Nightingales. 

Bakugo: (You better fucking show up, Deku.)

In that moment, the Ground Zeroes would now try to make contact with the Emerald Sentinels and the Noble Nightingales to recruit them in their efforts to rescue Kirishima and Kaminari.
