The aftermath of the war left the sky a muted gray. Once a beautiful place filled with life was now filled with ruined buildings following the a conflict that had changed the world forever. A cold wind swept the streets, carrying memories of a happier time.
In a quiet corner of this ruined town stood a memorial — a simple stone, really. Inscribed on the stone was the names of the fallen heroes. Among them, the name "Izuku Midoriya" was etched in bold, yet sorrowful letters. The memorial was covered with flowers, bright as if they had recently been placed.

Vibrant colors painted the city as it exploded with joy and laughter. The students were on patrol around the city. Izuku Midoriya was deep in conversation with Uraraka until they heard a sudden scream.
"What was that?" Uraraka asked, Deku, already heading toward the source of the scream, "I don't know but it sounds urgent!"
As the duo arrived at the scene, they quickly spotted a child - no older than ten - was in the center of chaos. She was surrounded with debris getting sucked into tiny portal looking holes creating a storm of swirling energy - as witnesses struggled to hold the mother back.
Before he could even think, his instincts kicked in. Deku dodged the storm of debris and as the child reached out toward him a bigger vision of the portal appeared in front Izuku. Barely having any time to react, the portal pulled him in as the world he once knew vanished.
Next thing he knew Izuku found himself slumped on a cold surface. Pushing himself up, his heart racing and a look of confusion covered his face as the city he was once in was in was in ruins. His eyes fell upon a small structure in a corner, its bright colors standing out against the grays. Izuku walked over to it, his mind wandering with questions. Now face to face with the structure, he recognized it as a memorial nearly identical to the one from the aftermath of the war which named the fallen heroes. Only this one had a major difference - his name was on it.
His mind raced. What had happened? Where's Uraraka? The girl? Izuku's mind was like a whirlwind of confusion.
