|Earlier that Day, Six's POV|
.
What I saw made my blood boil. It was House in the flesh with a video feed of Willow being tortured. Her modesty was barely covered, but the cuts and bruises were fresh.
.
"Where?" I demanded from House and Nezu.
"Patience, my dear courier," House spoke as if this wasn't his problem. "She is alive and well, for the most part. But her location is a bit... problematic."
"Get to the point." I enunciated each word, "Where is she?"
"She with the PLA, the Paranormal Liberation Front, formed by the one known as Shirgaraki Tomura, from the remnants of the MLA, the Meta Liberation Army," House explained truthfully. "I do not know where, when, or how they had captured her. All I know is that she has value to you, my dear Courier.
"Where?" I asked once again.
"Such determination," House sighed, "But if you must know, it's Deika City. In the tallest tower's sub-basement, level 4." Again, he sighed, "But please know I'm calling in my favor."
"What do you want?" I asked, forcing myself to calm down long enough to hear him out.
"I want their resources," He stated, "Or rather, everything they own."
"You'll get it."
.
With that said, I stormed out before anyone could stop me. Veronica, who had pulled herself from Chistine, tried to follow me. But I outpaced her as I was sprinting, full-tilt, without stopping for anything. Students who were in my way ended up on the floor as they tried to figure out what hit them.
I was on the war path. And nothing was gonna stand in my way. I've already lost her once, and I would die before I do so again.

|Third Person POV|
.
Veronica lost sight of Six after he left the campus, his form shimmering and vanishing as he activated a [Stealth-boy]. Veronica was worried that Six might go overboard, but after she lost him, she knew that there would be casualties. Both Heroes and civilians who had nothing to do with it.
Her dejected look spoke it all as she returned to the Nezu's office.
.
"I've lost him, he's gone," Veronica spoke, her voice had a slight edge of fear in it.
"How bad do you think it will be?" Midnight asked.
"I'm worried that he'll return to what he once was after her death," Veronica answered.
"What should we do?" Aizawa asked, his mind determined to minimize the outcome.
"Prepare for the fallout," Veronica spoke, her voice telling everyone in the room how bad it would be.
"Prepare for the worst and expect the worst, is what you're saying," Nezu, who had been quiet, spoke for the first time since the call.
"Yes," She nodded.
"Then we pull out all the stops," Nezu decided, and ushered everyone out as he had to make a call. "Go prepare, follow Veronica's lead."
.
From there, everyone was gearing up for the fallout that was to come.
Veronica was geared for anything related to Nuclear fallout and countless bodies.
Aizawa started calling in favors from other underground heroes.
AllMight called in various favors himself.
Power Loader prepared his gear and updated it.
Midnight went about making countless canisters of her knockout gas for crowd control.
Everyone was doing all they could for the upcoming hell that was to be.

|Later, after Six started his rampage|
.
A rag-tag group of both underground Heroes and those who were in the spotlight rushed towards Deika City. By the time they got there, the city was in ruins. The HPSC wasn't that far behind them with their army of heroes when they got the call from Nezu. However, the ones that led the attack/rescue mission were the ones gathered by the UA staff.
Veronica was the tip of the spear, only giving the go-ahead after she made sure that the area was clear of any sign of radiation. However, there were still those who fought once the Heroes from UA and the HPSC arrived, believing that they were here to mop up the remnants.
What they found was far worse.
The attackers were really just people who were trying to get away. Covered in blood and gore from the heroes who stood in Six's way. Terrorfied and senseless, they ran screaming into the arms of the heroes from the HPSC. Dead Arms, one of the leading members from the HPSC, caught a girl and lost his will to fight.
Everywhere, there were heroes who, just like Dead Arms, lost their will to fight.
And what was more, Veronica was cautioning off several areas with radioactive tag markers. Signaling that those areas were far too dangerous to head into. Those areas were off the charts with radiation. Anyone who wandered into those zones was counted among the dead and dying.
Veronica could be heard muttering that she wished Raul were here to help. Even Dr. Disaster was seen directing the robo-scorpions into the rubble that wasn't radioactive.
