After a moral questioning by the villain Blackout, the majority of UA's Regiment Six decided that the path of heroism was not for them. Arikadou Irumae runs an underground organization of villainy while still being the leader of an overly-devoted cult. Yokai and Tsuki stand behind Arikadou; not because they believe his tomfuckery, they just decided being part of a group was safer. Kohaku Itou, his class rival, joined a smaller villain group known as 'The Cards' with her sort-of-boyfriend Yagoskuzi Nami. Yura, Eumsong, Miyako, Chihiro, Yahiro, and Kiyoshi decided to band together, though their old friends continue to sway their mindset one way or another. Chihiro is torn to stay with her love, Kiyoshi is desperate for validation, Eumsomg misses her best friend, Yahiro is close to getting back with an old gang, Yura wants all her friends to get back together, and Miyako just wants to sleep. After Regiment Six disbanded, their worlds were turned upside down. Maybe, just maybe, a new, larger threat, and new possible classmates could bring these broken heroes back together again. 🚫{WARNING: THIS WORK CONTAINS VIOLENCE, GANG ACTIVITY, DRUGS, DEATHS, AND OTHER POSSIBLY TRIGGERING SCENES.
