The scene at Tartarus was one of chaos and urgency. Pro heroes and guards moved about the facility, their faces grim and determined. Among them was Detective Akatsutsumi, her usually cheerful demeanor replaced with a steely focus. The breakout was unprecedented, and the implications were dire.

Momoko walked briskly towards the central command center, where Tsukauchi was already coordinating efforts. His face was etched with fatigue, but his eyes were sharp.

"Tsukauchi," Momoko called out as she approached, "What's the situation?"

Tsukauchi handed her a tablet displaying security footage. "We're dealing with a highly organized group. They broke in multiple facilities, neutralized the guards and extracted Chisaki Kai and the Shie Hassakai. We're still piecing together how they managed to breach our security."

Momoko frowned as she reviewed the footage. "These guys knew exactly what they were doing. Have we identified any of the intruders?"

"Not yet," Tsukauchi replied, "But we're analyzing the footage for any leads. We've also sent out alerts to other high-security facilities in the country. If they've broken the Shie Hassakai out, they might target other imprisoned villains."

As they spoke, Sansa approached them, his expression equally serious.

  "We've found something," he said, leading them to a nearby room where several captured gadgets and devices were laid out.

"These were used by the intruders," Sansa explained. "Most of them are high-tech gadgets designed to neutralize quirks. We're running them through our databases to trace their origins."

Momoko picked up one of the devices, a small, sleek gadget that emitted a faint blue light. "This tech is advanced. Whoever made this has resources and expertise. We need to find out who they are and what their next move might be."

Tsukauchi nodded. "I've already put our best analysts on it. In the meantime, we need to ensure the safety of potential targets. Chisaki's breakout can't be an isolated incident."

Momoko's mind raced.

  "Oh my god," she muttered. "What about the girl, Eri? Wouldn't the group go after her too?"

Tsukauchi's eyes widened. "You're right. We need to increase her security immediately. I'll contact U.A. and make sure they're aware of the threat."

"Alright. I'll stay back and see if we can gather any more evidence," Momoko responded.

Tsukauchi nodded, "Okay. I'll head to U.A. now."

Back at U.A. High School, Class 1-A was oblivious to the danger lurking in the shadows. They were still buzzing with excitement from their field trip to the USJ, unaware of the recent breakout that had just occurred last night.

Eri was in the common room chatting with her friends when she felt her phone buzz. Eri quickly took it out and looked at the message on her screen. Her dad had just messaged her.

'Eri, I need you to come to the teachers' lounge immediately.'

Eri's heart skipped a beat. Her dad's messages were rarely this urgent. Did she do something wrong? Is she getting expelled? A lot of thoughts were currently running through her head right now as she rushed out of the dorms and towards the main building.

When she arrived Eri found her dad, Principal Todoroki, Mirio, and Sensei waiting for her, both of them looking unusually tense.

"Dad, what's going on?" Eri asked, concern evident in her voice.
