After beating down Rika Jouken, The Voodoo Brothers decided to locate their other allies. They ended up running into Twice, who had his masked off while holding onto the unconscious bloody Toga, who managed to kill off Curious due to her quirk getting a few upgrades.

Remy: Twice?

Twice looked at them as he...well, mostly all his clones that had created earlier from his fight with Skeptic's quirk trying to control him.

Twice: You two...Take Toga-chan somewhere safe?

Teddy reluctantly nodded as Twice handed Toga on over to the younger yet muscular brother.

The older yet skinnier brother examined over. It looked like he been through hell. His pupils had dilated and the scar over his face looks like it had seen better days.

Remy: What happened to you and Toga when we separated.

Twice:....Well....

Twice then explained that he had found Toga like this after she had a fight with Curious and he had arrived sometime after she had killed her.

However, following Himiko Toga's brutal skirmish with Curious, Twice finds her bloodied and unconscious body inside a shed. Horrified, Twice's split personalities argue over whether or not the girl will survive with her grievous injuries. The "good" side prevails and he bursts out in tears because she won't wake up, telling how much he cares about her and the League of Villains as they gave him a place to belong, and showing he treasures the handkerchief she used to replace his ripped mask back during the Shie Hassakai Raid.

In the Central Tower, Skeptic is watching the entire scene of Twice and Toga and had sent a group to their location, eager to capture Twice and kill Toga to avenge Curious' death.

Since he knew Twice's trauma, Skeptic used his Anthropomorph Quirk to create human puppets with the same exact face as Jin. When Twice notices the presence of the puppets, his face had adopted a grimace of horror as they attacked them.

Luckily, he managed to fight back but received a lot of psychological damage.

Teddy: Wait...You mean your doubles starting attacking you because someone ordered them too? How that happened?

Remy: Anthropomorph...A quirk that can be used to turn a object into a living person which could be a lookalike, then have the clones attack the original. No doubt this is Skeptic's quirk from Meta Liberation Army. Since we now are the getting the advantage back. The Meta Liberation Army are starting to pull some more strings.

Teddy: Those bastards. I'm going to kill them. How dare they do this?!

Twice: Giran is still in their captivity. I need to reach them. Please...Keep Toga-chan safe...

Remy: You seem to care about Giran like Niko does. What's your relationship with him?

Twice: Giran...was the one who helped me get back on my feet.

That's when he explained his troubled situation to Voodoo Brothers.

Twice had remembered growing up without any luck or anyone he could trust.

He lost his parents to a villain attack when he was in middle school and had to support himself, only to lose his job because he got into an accident with an important client.

It wasn't even his fault but he got a criminal record. He eventually started to use his Quirk to create clones of himself just to have someone to talk and then Jin and his clones began a life of crime. Eventually, though, Jin's clones rebelled and started killing each other, leaving Jin scarred and mentally broken.

Sometime after the incident, Jin, wearing a paper bag over his head, met with Giran, and explained his history to him.

Like the situation with Niko, Giran gave Twice a place to belong in the League Of Villains.

Remy: Twice...

Teddy: (His situation is...
similar to us...)

Remy:.....

Teddy:...*Looks at his brother* Let's go...

Remy: Right. You can count on us, Twice.

Twice: *Smiles* Thank you...

Remy: BTW. You're not a clone. You're the real thing. Don't ever forget that.

Teddy: Yeah! So buck up and knock them dead!

Earlier, Twice admits he's been avoiding any serious damage to himself ever since his clones turned against him, fearing he was also a clone, but even after experiencing such great pain, he did not disappear, which made him realize he is the real one.

Twice: Right! I'll show them how terrifying my quirk is!

"Infinite Double: Sad Man's Parade!!!"

*Meanwhile*

Re-Destro: Seems like you have failed, Skeptic.

Skeptic:....

From above, in the tower, Re-Destro is surprised that Twice overcame his psychological trauma. He comments to Skeptic about his failure.

Skeptic: No...I still haven't...

A discontented Skeptic replies that he hasn't failed only once in his life and asks Re-Destro to amend his statement.

Skeptic leaves the room saying he's moving on to the next phase.

Giran: Ha! See! You're all a bunch of fools! Do you really believe you can take down the League Of Villains?!

Giran started mocking at the Army's failed plan to capture Twice while commenting that the Meta Liberation Army has lost their numerical advantage. Especially when they have the Shadow Slasher, Niko, by their side. Most of their team have been taken out already.

Re-Destro: True but the Army is still superior in quality. Watch and learn, Giran.

Giran: Tsk!

Re-Destro then wishes his comrade Geten luck in his endeavors aganist Dabi and Mr. Compress.

*Meanwhile*

Twice had soon up to help Dabi and Mr. Compress who were having trouble taking down the ice wielder, Geten.

However, Geten unleashes a fierce wave of ice that skewers many of Twice's doubles. He boasts he can control the ice's temperature, and with his Quirk he can freeze the city's water line, creating more weapons for him.

Dabi: You're obnoxious for not opening the fight by doing so.

Geten: In the future the Army foresees rank will be related to the strength of one's Quirk.

To prove his point, Geten decimates more Twice's doubles with his ice, without caring that he is taking out his own soldiers as well, proclaiming life has no value beyond sheer strength.

Geten also comments that he can smell Dabi's searing flesh.

Geten: You cannot fight long battles less you want to be consumed by your own flames.

Dabi:....Heh. You sure know a lot. For some reason. That really pisses me off.

*Meanwhile*

Overhearing everything from his lab, Daruma Ujiko watches with glee and decides to help by waking Gigantomachia and ordering him to the League's location.

Gigantomachia erupts from under a woody mound. After waking up, Gigantomachia sniffs the air looking for the smell of Tomura Shigaraki. When he finds it, he runs to where he is.

Gigantomachia: MASTER!!!
