Rikiya stared blankly at the large screen displayed in front of him, watching the last known footage of his comrade; Curious. His grip on his chair tightened as he witnessed 10 of his soldiers fall to the offenders knife.

“Where did you get this?” he asked in a strained voice, he’d risk setting off his quirk if he yelled.

“It appears the League of Villains posted this over many social media platforms, though the videos were taken down shortly after,” Tomoyasu Chikazoku, otherwise known as Skeptic, spoke up. “We managed to download one of the posted videos with ease, now it's to our usage.”

Redestro stared at the paused screen, a woman seemingly in a school uniform staring right back at him, “Have you tried tracing the accounts which posted them?” He asked, his bald head scrunched in lines as he winced at his headache, a black mask began to overtake his face.

Skeptic grew timid, wary not to mess anything up to set his supreme commander off, “N-No sir, the accounts led to phones and laptops which seemed to only be used for posting said video,” he gulped, “I-It seemed to be their only use.”

Rikiya sighed and found himself staring back into the screen, “Whos the girl?” He asked, a plan forming within his head.

Skeptic fumbled with the clipboard he had in hand and read off it, “Uraraka Ochaco, former student at UA high, now being held captive for interrogation, accused of being the Traitor of UA.” he read off.

With a soft hum, the mans mask began to fall, an angered yet fierce expression overtook his stressed one as he took the remote to the T.V. and shut it off. 

He faced Skeptic, “You feel it, don’t you my friend,” he said cryptically.

Tomoyasu raised an eyebrow hidden behind his low bangs, “Feel what exactly sir?” He asked, confused.

“That monster killed 50 good men, you saw yourself, don’t tell me you don’t have any resentment to the girl,” He stated as he got up from his chair and strolled over to the long haired man.

Tomoyasu clenched the clipboard in his arms a little harder, “I do feel that all,” he stated, “I want vengeance yes, but I know the army forbids that,” he looked up to his supreme, realization taking on his features, “Don’t tell me commander.”

Rikiya grew a grin as he patted the mans shoulder, “Times are changing Tomoyasu,” his face fell into a serious one, “It’s time we change with it.”

“B-But sir! Our reputation to the outside world! They don’t know who we truly are, they’ll send real threats to us, it’ll be the end!” Skeptic protested.

“Do you not want to avenge your fallen comrades?” Redestro asked with sass, he knew the answer already. He stepped into their floors elevator. “Don’t worry about our reputation, I know you will be cautious my friend.” He pressed a button inside the lift, “You know where she’s being held, make sure nobody follows, make sure she makes it here in one piece.” He smiled and nodded as the door closed.

Tomoyasu gulped and fumbled with his phone, making calls to the soldiers needed for the split second decision their superior had made. He would be lying if he said he didn’t want this, but having the responsibility dumped all on him was something to keep him on edge.
