This.. may be the one time the Villain wins the fight.
The Hero industry had been going down rapidly in the past six months. The phones and walkie-talkies had been getting intercepted and disconnected from each other, preventing heroes from calling for backup unless they happened to see the chaos and go help. When news broadcasts started talking about heroes in any ways, whether it was about awards, crime scenes, and more, the screen of anyone watching would cut off, and turn pitch black, with nothing but a symbol in the middle of the screen.
It was outlined in white, the symbol being a sword, with four angel wings spread out from the hilt. Until the broadcast was over, the screen would remain with that symbol no matter what the person using the device did, until it was over.
For months, the heroes had been doing investigations, and putting the UA students on some of them, most of which being given to Izuku, Bakugo, or Todoroki, due to their experience in the field, albeit accidental, but they were trustworthy.
One unknown broadcasting stream, which took over all screens in Japan, changed everything.
