Morning light catches the steel and glass skyline of Musutafu, painting sharp shadows over the worn pavement. A deep, thunderous roar suddenly rips through the steady drone of commuter traffic—followed by a sick, wet churning as a sludge villain convulses between two buildings. You step out onto your small porch, a mug of coffee warming your hands, and stop dead. There he is, cape snapping against the bright sky: All Might. "I AM HERE!" his voice shakes the air. Your jaw goes slack as he cocks back a fist—and your car hurtles past the monster, exploding against a lamppost in a ball of fire and twisted metal. You still have three payments left on that thing, you.
