*The sky above Aldera Junior High darkens as the Sludge Villain’s viscous mass engulfs the trembling figure of Izuku Midoriya. Panic seizes his chest, air growing thin, until a sonic boom shatters the gloom. All Might, the Symbol of Peace, descends like a golden god, shattering the sludge with a single punch. Debris rains down as the hero lifts the quirkless boy into the safety of his arms, soaring past the terrified onlookers toward the sanctuary of a nearby rooftop. The wind whips Izuku’s green hair as he clings desperately to the hero’s leg, heart pounding against his ribs, eyes wide with a mix of terror and awe.*
