My Hero Academia: A New Power Rises

Episode 4: Shadows of the Past

Scene 1: An Unexpected Visitor

The episode opens with Tsukiko training early in the morning at U.A. High's training grounds, her wings spread wide as she practices her control over her dark energy. Her determination is evident, but her focus is suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice from behind.

Voice:
"Tsukiko Hoshina. You haven't changed much, have you?"

Tsukiko spins around, her eyes widening in shock as she sees a tall, imposing figure standing at the edge of the training grounds—a man with black hair and piercing green eyes, wearing a long, dark coat.

Tsukiko (tense):
"Ryuji? What are you doing here?"

The man, Ryuji Hoshina, steps closer, a smirk playing on his lips.

Ryuji:
"Is that any way to greet your older brother? I heard you were making a name for yourself here at U.A. Thought I'd come by and see it for myself."

Tsukiko's eyes narrow, and her wings twitch with unease.

Tsukiko:
"I didn't ask for you to come. I've got things under control."

Ryuji raises an eyebrow, clearly amused.

Ryuji:
"Oh, is that so? From what I've heard, you're struggling to control that little darkness of yours. Still afraid of what's inside, aren't you?"

Tsukiko clenches her fists, her dark energy flickering around her.

Tsukiko:
"I'm not afraid. I'm dealing with it  my way."

Ryuji's smirk fades, replaced by a more serious expression.

Ryuji:
"You think you can just 'deal' with it? You're not just facing some ordinary Quirk, Tsukiko. The power within you—our family's power—is dangerous. And if you don't learn to master it, it will destroy you."

Scene 2: A Sibling's Challenge

Later, Tsukiko and Ryuji move to a more secluded area of the training grounds. Hawks watches from a distance, his eyes narrowed as he evaluates the newcomer. He turns to Tsukiko before they start.

Hawks:
"You sure about this, kid? He doesn't seem like the type to hold back."

Tsukiko nods, her eyes filled with determination.

Tsukiko:
"I need this. I need to show him—and myself—that I can handle it."

Ryuji stands across from her, his dark energy swirling around his hands. He gives her a challenging look.

Ryuji:
"Show me what you've got, little sister. If you're going to be a hero, you'd better prove it right now."

Tsukiko takes a deep breath, her wings unfurling as she channels her Dark Enchantment Quirk. The two siblings face off, their dark energy clashing as they launch into battle.

Ryuji's power is overwhelming at first—his mastery of their shared abilities is evident as he skillfully manipulates the shadows around them, forming weapons and barriers. Tsukiko struggles to keep up, her attacks lacking the precision and force of her brother's.

Ryuji:
"Is this all you've got? You can't hesitate, Tsukiko! The darkness will consume you if you don't fight back!"

Tsukiko grits her teeth, feeling the familiar fear creeping up on her. The shadows seem to grow darker as if feeding on her uncertainty.

Tsukiko (inner thoughts):
"I can't lose... not to him. Not to the darkness."

Suddenly, she remembers Midoriya's words from the previous night—"Whatever it is you're dealing with, you don't have to face it alone."* The thought gives her strength, and she channels her energy, her wings glowing with a mix of dark and radiant energy.*

Tsukiko:
"I'm not afraid of you, Ryuji. And I'm not afraid of what's inside me!"

With a powerful burst, Tsukiko releases a wave of dark energy, pushing her brother back and surprising him. For the first time, a look of approval crosses Ryuji's face.

Scene 3: A Brother's Warning

The battle ends with both siblings panting, but Tsukiko stands tall, her wings folded behind her. Ryuji approaches her, his expression is more serious now.

Ryuji:
"You've gotten stronger, Tsukiko. But remember, power like ours doesn't come without a price. If you want to be a hero, you need to understand that this darkness isn't something you can just ignore."

Tsukiko nods, her eyes meeting his.

Tsukiko:
"I know. And I will keep fighting it—every day until I can control it completely."

Ryuji's gaze softens for a moment, and he places a hand on her shoulder.

Ryuji:
"Good. Just remember, you're not alone. No matter what happens, you've got me—and the rest of the family."

Tsukiko looks at her brother, a small smile forming on her lips.

Tsukiko:
"Thanks, Ryuji."

Ryuji gives her a nod before turning to leave, his figure disappearing into the shadows. Tsukiko watches him go, a mix of emotions in her eyes.

Scene 4: A Classmate's Concern

Later, Tsukiko returns to the dorms, visibly exhausted from her encounter with her brother. As she walks in, she's met by Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, and Shoto Todoroki, who have been waiting for her.

Izuku:
"Tsukiko! We saw what happened out there. Are you okay?"

Tsukiko gives a tired smile, nodding.

Tsukiko:
"I'm fine, just a bit worn out. It was... a lot to handle."

Ochaco steps forward, concern in her eyes.

Ochaco:
"Who was that guy? He looked pretty intense."

Tsukiko sighs, her wings folding tightly against her back.

Tsukiko:
"That was my brother, Ryuji. He... wanted to test me. Make sure I was strong enough to handle my Quirk."

Shoto:
"Family can be difficult sometimes. But it seems like he cares about you, even if he has a strange way of showing it."

Tsukiko nods, her gaze softening.

Tsukiko:
"Yeah... I know. He just wants to protect me, in his way."

Izuku smiles, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Izuku:
"We're here for you too, Tsukiko. No matter what you're dealing with, we'll face it together."

Tsukiko's eyes glisten with gratitude, and she nods.

Tsukiko:
"Thank you. I'm lucky to have friends like you."

Scene 5: A New Resolve

The final scene shifts to Tsukiko standing alone on the training grounds later that night, her wings unfurled as she looks up at the moon. She takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.

Tsukiko (inner thoughts):
"The darkness is a part of me, but I won't let it control me. I will master it, and I will use it to protect those I care about."

She closes her eyes, the dark energy swirling around her wings but under her control. The camera zooms out, showing her silhouette against the moonlit sky as the music swells.
