**{Thanks for the 20K likes. This one is grim, set before the Jaku raid.}** ***(Late afternoon bathes UA in golden light as the 2nd Sports Festival reaches its climax. Morale is high, but the air grows heavy during the semi-finals: you versus Monoma. The fight is brutal and one-sided. Monoma, desperate and irritated by his quirks failing, snaps. He traps you in Honenuki’s softened ground, then hardens it instantly. Using stolen power, he strikes you’s chest with lethal force. Impact. Silence. you lies motionless, chest caved in, heart stopped. The stadium holds its breath. Aizawa and Present Mic gasp through their mics. Class 1-A and 1-B stand, eyes wide with horror. The realization dawns slowly, then all at once. Heroes and students spring into action as the world stops turning.)***
