Prologue - Memories Fade

(A/n: Blood warning towards the end of this episode! Also, if you see this, that means Reina is narrating. And to make sure you're aware, "" signals the character speaking, and '' signals thoughts)

The full moon shines among the stars in the night sky, as the tides of the ocean rise and fall in a cycle. The night is calm, with the wind lightly blowing about.

Reina: For anyone, learning to control their quirk is of utmost importance to avoid anything disastrous happening. I am no exception to this.

On the shore of the beach, Reina Kodama, a young girl of high school age, is hovering in place by the wind she is manipulating. Her short, lavender hair flowing about as she goes deeper in meditation, focusing on maintaining a hold of her mind while her quirk is in use.

Reina: I, like many others my age, have dreams of becoming a pro hero. Keeping the world safe one person at a time. That kind of intense courage to stand up and defend your fellow humans had never been heard of, until quirks came into the picture.

As she furthers her focus, a light mark begins to form on the side of her eye, and she hears a voice speak to her.

???: "Use the full capability of them, for they may save thousands of lives."

All of a sudden, seemingly out of nowhere, a small dagger flies past the lavenderette's head, missing her, albeit barely. The whoosh of the dagger flying by broke her concentration, and she drops down onto the sand.

Reina: However, the path to becoming a pro hero isn't easy. Something that I'm going to realize...

???: "Crap. An inch off."

Reina: ...the hard way.

Turning around, she finds a group of four villains standing opposite from her position, near the stone wall. Three of the villains she recognized immediately as underlings in the League of Villains, with new appearances, but the one whose leading them she didn't.

He had black hair, bangs covering his right eye, wore dark clothing and a black mask. Was he a new recruit?

Nonetheless, Reina was slightly taken aback by seeing 3 LOV underlings, even though she thought they were already captured by the pro heroes.

???: "No matter. We still have you outnumbered and outpowered."

Reina: "Wha-!?! But I thought the pro heroes sent you villains away!"

???: "I suppose they never told you about how unpredictable we can be. And you're supposed to be an apprentice to a pro hero, right?"

The taunt immediately rubbed off of the teen, and anger quickly filled her eyes as wind begins to gather around her hands.

???: "I'm sure that getting rid of you won't bother your master too much. *pulls out dagger from his sleeve* They won't be needing you anytime sooner!"

The taunts wore Reina's nerves down as she lowers her head, with the wind building up more onto her arms.

Reina: It's no surprise when villains go after the people who pro heroes care about the most. Especially if you're an apprentice of one, since you're learning about how to be a hero from the pro directly. Which is what I am, under one of the top ranking heroes in the country.

Reina: "You...FREAKS!!!"

She swipes her arms in an 'X' shape, forming a crossbeam of wind, sending it straight towards the villains.

The windbeam hits all 4 villains, knocking them back, but the dagger villain still manages to throw his weapon at the lavender girl. She dodges the dagger, which barely scrapes her neck, before charging at the group of villains.
