Lemillion walked into a meeting room on the top floor of a building in Tokyo. He and Aizawa were the last to arrive to this meeting to determine the future of Musutafu city. Lemillion looked at the other gathered heroes; Best Jeanist, Sun Eater, and Nejire were also present. Mirio sat at the end of the table with Aizawa at his side. "Thank you for showing up Lemillion, now then what do you have to report?" Said the chairman of the board of heroes as Lemillion began his report.

"As of yet, nothing has changed Bane is still in UA, the city is under his thumb completely, but I believe once we've removed Overhaul that grip will loosen considerably." One of the board members scoffed.

"I told you this was a waste of time; we should just go with the option of blasting UA and all those villains off the map and be done with it." Lemillion clenched his fist ready to shout before Aizawa spoke.

"You'd be dooming all the captured heroes there to their deaths along with the villains, are you sure that's something you want to put on the table?" Aizawa stated looking at the members of the board.

"They're heroes dying is an occupational hazard, in fact I'm sure they'd prefer a quick death rather than the torture they've no doubt been put through for the last year." The board member challenged.

"Be that is it may you know as well as I do that UA's support course had many a failed invention in their care, not to mention the numerous volatile chemicals that it took to make some of those support items. Are you really willing to drop a bomb on a potential powder keg of unstable materials?" Aizawa said his milky eye staring in the direction of the chairman who shook his head.

"You are right Eraserhead, we can't do that at this time, but eventually we will have no choice, we've mounted attacks on Musutafu over the years and all have failed, mostly due to his line of giants." The Chairman referred to Bane's guardian beasts those with gigantification quirks led by none other than the infamous Gigantomachia. "Those beasts can't be conquered Mt. Lady gave her life to show us that." Everyone in the room bowed their heads at this before Lemillion stood up.

"Once more Chairman please give us one more chance. If we can take out Overhaul and cut off Bane's use of his quirk killer bullets then I know we can push forward." The Chairman sighed for a moment before nodding.

"One chance Lemillion if this operation goes south I will go ahead and order the bombardment of UA and hand this over to the military." He said looking at Lemillion who bowed in gratitude before leaving with Aizawa.

"Was that stuff true about volatile chemicals being held within UA?" Nejire asked Eraserhead catching up to him and Mirio in the elevator.

Eraserhead scratched his chin and smirked. "Of course not, but it was a necessary deception to buy us the time we need. If we let this go over to the military they'll decimate that city and anyone in it, I'd rather not put the citizens through any more than they've already been through." Aizawa stated as Nejire hugged him around the neck.

"Aww you really are a softie aren't ya?" She said as Mirio smiled.

"I'd feel better if Nighteye were in on this with us." Best Jeanist said striking a chord with Mirio who shook his head.

"I haven't spoken with Sir since All Might died. He and I disagreed on how to handle Bane and I left his agency, shortly after it closed. I don't know where he is or if he's still alive." Mirio said walking out of the elevator as they all proceeded to new headquarters.

Blast Lung rode up to a rundown night club on his Dodge Tomahawk. This was a favorite of Ingenium's sidekicks. It was the only way they could keep up with their boss and his insane speeds. It was painted black with red flecks throughout the paintjob. This baby could hit zero to sixty in 1.5 seconds and had a max speed of 420MPH and howled like a banshee. That was his own doing if this thing was chasing you he wanted you hear it. Its four tires screeched around the back of the bar and into a narrow alleyway. Blast Lung walked the bike to the end of the alley before slamming his foot down opening a ramp he walked down to a large living quarters where someone sat at a bank of computers. The man turned around his green and blonde hair marking him out as the missing hero Nighteye. "How did it go Katsuki?" Nighteye asked as Katsuki walked forward parking the bike as he removed his bomber jacket along with his bomb and gun belts.
