Ochako POV:

It's been a few days since Izuku told us who our target was. From what he said, Big Madam is a very dangerous SS class Ghoul that has many affiliations with the underworld black market. We were told to memorize everything about her and Miss A. Our prior objective is Big Madam, but we needed to get to Miss A to get to her. We were also told of the sports festival and started training like crazy. Izuku helped with this to give us a boost. Between Ghouls and humans, it's kinda obvious Ghouls win in physiology if were doing the same thing. This was also a hurdle Izuku wanted us to surpass. Also as a precaution, Mr. Arima had given us all quinque's to fight with if we had to. A lot of us had misgivings training and thinking of the chance we need to kill a Ghoul, but Izuku said we may not have a choice in the future with our line of work. He did say we were going to have the members of Truce that specialized with this deal with the ugly part, but it was better safe than sorry.

Right now, all of us are waiting downstairs with Izuku coming in and tossing me and the others in class A that are in Truce bags with something in them. "Put these on." We open them to see clothes that smelled used. "So why are putting on used clothes?" "Ghouls have a great sense of smell Todoroki. They'll easily find out if your human or not because of your body odor. Were going out tonight to start phase one of the extermination of Big Madam. I want you all to shower to get any lingering scent off you so the scent of the clothes is what people smell." Everyone questioned this with me jumping up to head to the bathroom to shower. "Your just going to follow his instructions Ochako?" "Yup. I learned quick that he's doing this for the betterment Tsu. Questioning him could kill you." I left after this with everyone following to do the same.

While showering, Tsu and Yaoyorozu questioned me about what we may face. "So just how dangerous is this gonna be *ribbit*?" "Well if were wearing Ghoul clothes, so I'm guessing were going somewhere that will put us in the heat of the Ghoul underworld." I ran my hand over my scar remembering Izuku's world and how dark it can be. "I wonder where we'll be going?" "I don't know. But if were going into the Ghouls underworld, it probably isn't pretty." 'I wonder how psychotic that side really is.'

Few hours later in the 18th ward, Izuku POV:

"Today we will be going into the Ghoul Restaurant to find Miss A." Everyone in Truce was standing there with a few new faces beside me. "Since UA doesn't allow me to work under the radar anymore, we have a few pros here to help. We have the Dragon hero Ryukyu, the Erasure hero Eraserhead, and the flame hero Endeavor." I couldn't see through their masks, but I knew Rei, Dabi, and Nejire's eyes were wide when I said who was with us. "We'll be splitting up into 5 groups. I'll lead one group in since I have authorization to go in, while the rest of you surround the area in case things get messy. Teams will be as followed."

Team 1: Izuku, Ochako, Momo, Eri, and Chisaki

Team 2: Rei, Shoto, Endeavor, and Juuzo

Team 3: Nejire, Ryukyu, Kirishima, and Shinohara

Team 4: Uta, Arima, Shoji, and Himiko

Team 5: Aizawa, Dabi, Tsu,  and Sero

"Now that we have that done, lets begin." I pass Yaoyorozu the old mask I used to wear for her to walk in undetected. 'Now comes the tricky part.'

Rei POV:

While waiting in position, Enji and myself sat next to each other on the rooftop silent. '...Well this is an awkward way to reunite.' "*ahem* So uh, you and Shoto are both part of Truce. That's....nice." 'Oh good. I"m not the only one that has problems with this reunion.' I nodded as Juuzo came over to sit by Endeavor. "You know her?" Enji held his head down as he answered. "...Yes." He took a deep breath in before speaking. "You were told to keep everything this group does secret to the outside, correct?" "Yup. I also get to chop up Ghouls that they tell me I can. Isn't it great!" He states this with happiness before Shoto answers how we know each other. "Frostbite is my mother." "Wait, so your a Ghoul Todoroki?" "Only half, but I don't need to eat humans like normal Ghouls."
