As they planned for Gigantomachia's eventual arrival, Yaoyorozu laid out the plan to Morbius and the rest of the students present. The plan would be that they would subdue Gigantomachia and use an anesthetic to knock him out. To counter his massive size, Yaoyorozu creates tons of cannisters filled with the sedative using her Quirk. As they put Yaoyorozu's plan into action, Juzo uses his Softening Quirk on the grass floor while Mineta covers it in his Pop Off balls. During this, he becomes concerned with Midnight.

Mineta: Do...do you think she's still alive?

Mina: She'll be teaching us cool stuff before ya know it.

At the same time, Morbius prepare himself for the battle ahead. He stays close to Yaoyorozu as she uses her Quirk to create explosions to throw into the mud pile, while Setsuna keeps watch, warning them of the beast's fast approach. It wasn't long before Gigantomachia came into range, causing him to trip and fall right into their mud trap. As Gigantomachia starts to slowly sink, several of the students proceed to use various whips to grab onto his neck in an attempt to force his mouth open. As they struggle to hold him down, Morbius uses his Vampire Quirk to glide towards the giant. Morbius then bites his teeth down on Gigantomachia's neck and begins to suck his blood. As he does so, Morbius is almost overwhelmed. To Morbius, it was like drinking from an ocean. Morbius was soon forced to stop as blue flames were shot at him. Morbius glides down to Yaoyorozu. Yaoyorozu falls to his knees as she rushes to Morbius's side. 

Yaoyorozu: Michael! Are you okay?! You....

When Morbius got up, he glides back towards Gigantomachia and the League. Morbius then transforms into a large swarm of bats and attacks both Gigantomachia and the League. Yaoyorozu immediately noticed something different. It was as if Morbius was attacking in a  frenzied state. 

Yaoyorozu: Michael....

While Morbius attacked Gigantomachia and the League, Morbius lunges at Gigantomachia and  forces his mouth open. The students then begin throwing their canisters toward him, but he simply blows them all away, sending a hurricane of air toward the students. Dabi follows suit by shooting his fire toward them, burning the forest area around them. Morbius was forced to fall back, reverting back to his regular form. Gigantomachia began to escape and slowly make his way forward.

Kendo: Oh, no! He's crawling outta the trap!

Mineta: Crap! What're we supposed to do?

Yaoyorozu: I placed bomb beneath the mud. That's our plan B. If we bury him deeper, maybe we'll take him!

Yaoyorozu then detonates the bomb, causing the explosions underneath to go off, trapping him once again as he sinks downward. Morbius lunges at Gigantomachia and began to drink more of his blood. As he drank, Morbius's blood lust began to kick in as the blood was intoxicating. It was unlike any blood that he has ever drank before. It was in that moment that the League of Villains attacked Morbius. Morbius lashes out at the League members and gnashes his fangs. 

Morbius: Must....feed!

More Heroes arrive on the back to attack the League, while Mountain Lady returns to grab Gigantomachia's head and pry his mouth open, having realized the students' plan. Meanwhile, Morbius was fully lost in his frenzied rage. But as he attacked, a voice called out to him. 

Yaoyorozu: MICHAEL!

Morbius glanced over to see Yaoyorozu. He then glances to see Mina attempting to throw a cannister at Gigantomachia, but something distracts her, prompting Kirishima to intervene. Without hesitation, Morbius glides to the cannister Mina dropped and grabbed it. 

Morbius: (Now's my chance!)

Wasting no time, Morbius glides towards Gigantomachia while avoiding fire attacks from Dabi. When he gets close to Gigantomachia, he throws the cannister into Gigantomachia's mouth. 

Shoji: Morbius did it!

Mina: That's our boy!

Kirishima: Get him, Michael!

Yaoyorozu: I knew Michael wouldn't let us down!

At the same time, the students students on the ground shoot a barrage of missiles from cannons at Gigantomachia. Juzo uses his Quirk to put out the fire. As Morbius reaches the ground, Yaoyorozu rushes to his side. 

Yaoyorozu: Michael! Are you okay?!

Morbius: I'll....I'll be okay....

Even as Morbius said this, Morbius could still feel the intoxicating effects of Gigantomachia's blood. It was clear to him that Gigantomachia's blood was unlike anything he has ever drank before. It was like the equivalent of drinking a fine wine. Despite this, Morbius was able to maintain his composure. It wasn't long until Majestic approached them. 

Yaoyorozu: The more he moves around, the quicker the sedative can kick in.

Majestic: Nice job, Momo! I knew you had this. You're an impressive young woman!

Yaoyorozu: Thank you, Majestic. But I can't take the credit alone. It was because of everyone here that we were able to execute it. Not to mention Michael for giving us a fair warning. 

Morbius: But it was your quick thinking that allowed us to defeat this Villain. 

Meanwhile, Gigantomachia began to stir.

Gigantomachia: The insignificant pests keep coming. I won't waste any more time on them.

It didn't take long before everyone noticed this. 

Majestic: Hold on!

Gigantomachia then transforms his body and breaks free. This prompts the Pro Heroes to attack Gigantomachia while the students were in complete shock by the change in events. With that, Gigantomachia had changed his course and began making a run towards Jaku City. In that moment, the city of Jaku was in danger and it was up to the remaining Heroes to take down this colossal Villain before he hurts any innocent people.
