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, the Bad Batch prepared for Gigantomachia's arrival with Tech and Wrecker placing charges across various entry points that the Villain could come from. 

Wrecker: Charges set and primed! 

Tech: All entry points are covered. 

Hunter: Good. Now we just wait for the bastard to get close. 

At the same time, Yaoyorozu 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, Wrecker detonates the group of charges nearest to Gigantomachia. The explosion stuns the Villain. 

Hunter: HIT HIM WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT!

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. 

Hunter: DON'T LET THEM SPILIT US UP!

Gigantomachia began to escape and slowly make his way forward. He throws a punch towards Jiro and a group of students. But before the punch could land, Wrecker grabs the Villain's fist and holds it back. Using all of his strength, Wrecker holds back the punch. Jiro then jabs her Earphone Jacks into Gigantomachia's fist and generates her heartbeat to create a powerful shockwave of sound to stun the Villain, allowing Wrecker to push the fist back. At this point, Gigantomachia begins to slowly escape the trap. 

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. 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.

Hunter: Tech! Call the Marauder for a strafing run!

Tech ducks behind cover and calls on the Havoc Marauder. The Havoc Marauder then flies towards Gigantomachia and fires on him. Mina attempting to throw a cannister at Gigantomachia, but something distracts her, prompting Kirishima to intervene. Without hesitation, Wrecker runs up to the cannister and picks it up. 

Hunter: Tech! Echo! Cover Wrecker!

Hunter, Tech and Jiro as well as the other Heroes cover Wrecker as he runs towards Gigantomachia while avoiding fire attacks from Dabi. When he gets close to Gigantomachia, he throws the cannister into Gigantomachia's mouth.

Wrecker: OPEN WIDE!

Wasting no time, Hunter takes aim with his pistol and shoots the cannister. As the cannister was shot, the sedative begins spilling out of the cannister. 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. It wasn't long before Gigantomachia appeared to pass out. Soon enough, 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.

Jiro: Don't sell yourself short, Yaomomo. 

Hunter: Echo's right, kid. It was your quick thinking allowed you to take him down. 

Yaoyorozu: We wouldn't have been able to get to that point if you didn't show up and warn us about the Villain. We would've been taken completely by surprised.

Hunter smiled as Majestic approached the Bad Batch. 

Majestic: Your team did well, Hunter. 

Hunter: We were only doing our job. 

Jiro smiled beneath her helmet over the fact that the Bad Batch received praise from their peers despite the recent backlash over Crosshair's betrayal. As for the rest of the Bad Batch, they already began planning on continuing their search for Crosshair, eager to capture him. 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.

Tech: I'm detecting seismic activities. 

Wrecker: Well where is it coming from?!

Tech: It's...it's coming from that Villain.

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.
