"Bakugo!" Mahoro yelps as Bakugo and Deku are thrown backwards through the air by Air Wall shooting from Nine's hand.

Nine falls to his knees, holding his head in agony. Slice swoops down from the air to attend to Nine, whose sole concern is stealing Katsuma's cell activation quirk.

Despite one final push from the villains, the realize Nine's health was at risk. Slice shoots the flare gun into the air.

Chimera, who is fighting Shoto, Tenya, Kurt and Sero, and Tokoyami on the other side of a set of bushes, huffs when he sees the flare gun.

"Guess you guys get to stay alive this time." He says as he retreats.

"He's running?" Sero asks, astounded to see Chimera bounding away.

"I believe it's more accurate to say he's letting us go. Come on, we need to get back to the facility to check in with the evacuation team, get medical attention, and regroup.

As rain pours down from the night sky, everyone retreats into an office on a small connecting island. Many have mild injuries, so some of the Class 1-A members and all the X-Men begin attending to one another's ailments while others begin making food and gathering supplies to hand out to the islanders. Rouge and Ojiro are busy setting up a command base.

In the front of the office, Jean is busy assisting the medics in caring for Deku and Bakugo.

"Here are some more bandages and gauze." Jean walks back over to the doctors treating Deku and Bakugo's severe injuries.

"Thank you so much for all your help, Jean. You really know your stuff, and we're really lucky you're here. Do you mind checking around to see if there's anyone else out there that still needs medical attention?"

"Sure thing, I'll be right back,"
Jean says, turning to walk out of the temporary medical room.

"How are Deku and Bakugo?" Kitty asks as Jean walks into the command base.

"Still unconscious. Doctors have done all they can. Their wounds are closed but they need to go to the mainland if they can't mend their broken bones." Jean holds her arm as she looks at the others seeing the worry. It was same look she had months ago when Hawks had been severely injured.

Within the hour, the class slowly made their way into the back room as they finished their wound mending and various other roles. With the exception a few nervous laughs, the room was heavy with concern for the villains' return before a plan is established.

"Is Katsuma still healing them? He hasn't stopped?" Ochoko asks, astonished, as she and Asui enter the room.

"The kid has been a big help, but he shouldn't push himself at such young age." Iida says.

"We need a plan. This is crazy, there's no way someone has that many abilities..." Kurt trails off as he notices a sharp stare from Rouge.

"Okay, so with grid and communication down, we need a plan and more help. It's vital we stay prepared to keep these people safe." Iida says.

"I made a drone earlier. It will send an SOS signal once it's close to the mainland, but that will take 6 hours.Even with that, though, it will still take the heroes time to assemble and travel to us." Momo says from where she is sitting on the couch.

"6 hours, though, is not a lot of time. We're not afraid of time constraints." Jean says. "If we divide and conquer, we can be prepared for our additional help to arrive."
