As they ascended further, the team encountered three traffickers with formidable Quirks working in unison, supported by gunmen who opened fire as soon as they saw the Heroes.
The first attacker, wielding the Quirk Wraith, transformed into a cloud of smoke, dodging attacks and slipping through small gaps. The second, with the Quirk Piranha, charged at Yaze with snapping, razor-sharp teeth. The third, with the Quirk Jawbreaker, had his hands enveloped by massive gumballs, swinging them with devastating force.
"Deku, Ryukyu, we need to keep them off the officers!" Yaze shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. Bullets whizzed past them, ricocheting off walls and the floor. Yaze morphed his arms into shields, protecting the officers from the gunfire.
The Wraith user darted in and out of sight, reappearing behind Ryukyu. Midoriya used Danger Sense to track the Wraith's movements, calling out, "Ryukyu, behind you!" Ryukyu spun around, her tail sweeping through the air, but the Wraith dissipated into smoke again, dodging the attack.
Meanwhile, the Piranha user lunged at Yaze, jaws snapping. Yaze sidestepped, using his shield to block the teeth. The Piranha user bit into the shield, his teeth struggling to penetrate the tough material. Seizing the moment, Yaze grabbed the Piranha by his jaws, prying them open with his armored hands. The trafficker growled, his teeth gnashing but unable to cut through Yaze's bone plates.
Yaze held the Piranha user in place, kneeing him in the gut repeatedly. Each strike knocked the wind out of the trafficker, his struggles growing weaker with every blow. Finally, Yaze released his grip, letting the Piranha user crumple to the ground, unconscious.
The Jawbreaker user swung his gumball-covered fists with immense strength. Ryukyu, protecting the officers with her wings, deflected the blows but felt the force behind each impact. Midoriya floated above, looking for an opening. He used Black Whip to wrap around the Jawbreaker's legs, pulling him off balance. The trafficker snarled, breaking free and swinging wildly, but Midoriya's agility kept him out of reach.
Gunmen continued to fire, adding to the chaos. The officers returned fire, but the Heroes needed to protect them from both the gunmen and the Quirk users. Yaze charged at the gunmen, his armor deflecting bullets. He disarmed them with precise, powerful strikes, ensuring they couldn't harm the officers.
"Deku, use Black Whip on the Wraith!" Yaze ordered. Midoriya nodded, using Black Whip to try and ensnare the Wraith. The tendrils of Black Whip wrapped around the smoke, solidifying as the Wraith tried to reappear. Ryukyu seized the opportunity, her claws striking through the smoke just as the Wraith solidified, knocking him out.
The Jawbreaker user, seeing his allies fall, grew desperate. He swung both gumball-covered fists at Midoriya, who dodged and used Black Whip to ensnare his arms. Yaze moved in quickly, his enhanced speed allowing him to close the distance. He delivered a series of rapid punches, each one targeting the Jawbreaker's midsection. With a final, coordinated effort, Ryukyu struck with her claws, and Midoriya delivered a powerful Full Cowling punch, sending the Jawbreaker crashing to the ground, unconscious.
With the Quirk users subdued, the team turned their attention to the remaining gunmen. Midoriya used Black Whip to disarm them, pulling their guns away and rendering them harmless. Yaze and Ryukyu moved swiftly, disarming and incapacitating the rest with precise strikes.
The area finally fell silent, the only sounds being the heavy breathing of the heroes and the officers. The team regrouped, their resolve unwavering. They knew the final confrontation was still ahead, but they pressed on, determined to dismantle the trafficking ring and bring its leaders to justice.

The team reached the top floor, stepping into a large, opulent room. At the center, a man sat on a throne-like chair, a smug grin on his face. Beside him were several girls, clearly captives. One girl had the Quirk Moth, which made her look like a humanoid moth, with large wings, antennae, and compound eyes.
