One week ago.

The short doctor kept his specimen tied on his experiment table. Her wrists and ankles were bound by iron clasps. The man with light turquoise hair, and multiple hands on his body, observed as the doctor attempted to finalize their deed. The experiment had failed 4 times before. All other specimens were useless, and by now, dead. An intravenous line kept dripping, keeping his new specimen unconscious.

"I was able to extract the essence of the quirks of the other four heroes, but as soon as I was about done, the serum destabilized and it became useless. It seems the serum doesn't work without sucking the life out of them. But I can't extract this one's quirk, it seems the serum is not strong enough. The boss himself would have to make physical contact with her in order to get her quirk" said the doctor as he adjusted his thick glasses.

"But I thought the serum was supposed to work with everyone. What kind of failed scientist are you?" scoffed the man with turquoise hair.

"Do not mock me. The serum might have failed, but I have other ways to use her quirk to our advantage. Let the experimental work to me child, don't you still have to get the boss' blessing? If you had absolute control over his servants, we wouldn't see ourselves in need to waste our time with these experiments" said the doctor as he held a transmitter device in his hand.

"Hmmm...I'll send you the directions for what I want her doing at some point."

Present time.

Shota ran to the faculty office to send the prepared work over to Thirteen. He sat on his chair and began to frantically type on his computer.

"What did Nezu want with you?" asked Hizashi with a calm voice for once.

"I can't talk about that right now, all I need is to get this done. I will be absent for a while, that is all you need to know" replied Shota.

"Look Shota, if there is anything I can do to help, I will. I have a gut feeling as this was so sudden that it has to do with (Y/N)'s disappearance. You don't have to do this by yourself, y'know?" - H

"The police and other bodies will help with this investigation. You don't have to involve yourself in this. Besides, someone is already covering for me, can you just make sure everything goes smoothly?" - S

"You got it dude!" replied Hizashi with a thumbs up.

When Shota had finished his teaching arrangements, he grabbed his cellphone and also checked that his utility belt had been replenished. As he exited the building, a patrol car was waiting outside to take him over to the investigation site. He got in the back seat, sat with his arms crossed and while the car traveled the busy city streets he kept his thoughts to himself. It has to be her. But why? Why is she doing this? Shouldn't she be returning to her organization instead?

As the car was stopped in traffic, the radio delivered an altering message. Shota looked directly at the communication device.

"We have received reports of the red-haired individual approaching the power plant in the central district. Repeat, the red-hair individual has been sighted in the power plant of the central district."

"Roger that, we are 10 minutes away from that area. We'll head over immediately!" answered the driver, as he maneuvered the car out of traffic through an alleyway.

Those ten minutes felt like hours. As the car parked along the fire lane of the plant, Shota jumped out and sprinted over to search for the individual all over the power plant. He ran a straight line looking left and right, but there was no sight of who he thought was Escarlata. He saw a figure at the end of the generator. Eraserhead prepared to engage as he put his yellow goggles over his eyes.

"Eraser!" said a familiar voice.

"Edgeshot?! What are you doing here?" responded the erasure hero.

"I received a call from the police. I was patrolling the area and I was notified of a character who has been seen digging tunnels along the city and the outskirts." Informed Edgeshot, the ninja pro.

"Well, it seems that we will be working on this together" said Shota.

"My sidekicks are all over this plant, and there seems to be no signs of the target. If the individual is hoping to dig another tunnel, then we should head over the sand quarry nearby" suggested Edge.

"Good idea" replied Eraser

The pro heroes headed over the quarry, which was about a mile away from the power plant and was built to resemble a number eight. The sun was starting to set over the horizon and that was an advantage for both the ninja and erasure heroes, as they performed better at night. The quarry was deep and open, perfect to engage in battle if they needed to. There were many wide ground levels showing the layers of sediment, and at the bottom sat a pool of green water.

As the heroes inspected the quarry from the top, they noticed a red stream of light coming from the other end. Bingo. They sprinted over to observe what was producing the red light. At the lowest level of the quarry stood a caped figure inside what seemed to be a cave. The arms of the individual were covered in red light that shattered the sediment into dust and pebbles, as he or she punched their way through the structure. Shota and Edgeshot stood there observing the surrounding area, not quite ready to contact the target.

"I am unsure of how to proceed." said Edge. "There is no logical reason to make a tunnel here. The quarry itself is full of them. What is this person trying to accomplish with all these tunnels?"

"I don't know. Did you hear about this suspect possibly being Escarlata?" asked Eraser Head.

"What?! The police did not mention that, I guess they had no time. But that sounds ridiculous, why would a pro hero do such thing?" whispered Edge.

"I guess we are about to find out" said Eraser, as he skipped down the levels of the quarry.

When they both reached the bottom, they kept a safe distance from the target.

"This is pro hero Eraser Head. I am going to need you to stop your digging and surrender peacefully, as you are destroying private property" said Shota with authority, but he was ignored. "This is your second warning, and there won't be a third!" yelled the hero.

The suspect kept on digging, until the erasure hero activated his quirk. His eyes turning red, and his rope and hair floating over around his head. The red light stopped, but the suspect kept on punching the deposit with her/his bare hands. Eraser grabbed one end of his alloy rope with his left hand, and threw it with a lasso like motion towards the suspect. As Shota pulled the rope towards him, the cape untied from the suspects neck and flew across the quarry. The suspect was definitely female. She was wearing a sleeveless black skin suit with symmetrical transparent shapes across her neckbones, paired with black combat boots and black gloves. Her mask still covered her identity. There is no way this is not Escarlata, thought Eraser to himself as his heart began pounding inside his chest and his eyes began to dry.

"Identify yourself and the motives behind your actions!" exclaimed Edge, but there was no response from the suspect.

"I can't keep my eyes linked for much longer. All this dust is killing me" said Eraser, as he struggled not to blink.

The heroes heard a voice coming from what seemed to be an earpiece located in the suspect's left ear.

"Engage"
