THE INCIDENT

EXT. PLAYGROUND - DAY

The playground sprawls under the sun's golden embrace, a haven of joy and laughter. Children cavort around, their gleeful voices weaving through the air like melodies of innocence. A kaleidoscope of colors dances in the sunlight, painting the scene with vibrancy.

IZUKU and IZUMI, the epitome of youthful exuberance, scamper alongside the radiant MI-CHAN and the fiery KATSUKI BAKUGO. Their pure and contagious laughter fills the air, mingling with the chatter of parents gathered nearby.

MIKA, an embodiment of grace with her cascading black locks, shares a knowing smile with Inko, a twinkle of amusement dancing in her eyes.

MIKA

(gently teasing)

Inko-san, have you noticed how adorable Izuku-kun becomes when he's with Mi-chan?

Inko arches an eyebrow, her smirk suggestive of hidden amusement.

INKO

(playfully)

And what might you be insinuating, Mika-san?

Mitsuki, Katsuki's spirited mother, interjects with a playful roll of her eyes.

MITSUKI

(chuckling)

Enough of your banter, ladies. They're just children, after all.

With a collective chuckle, the adults return their attention to the children, content to bask in the simple joys of parenthood.

CUT TO:

A happy scene could be seen as Izuku, Izumi, Katsuki and Momo were playing in the park as they ran around each other momo trying to catch one of them

KATSUKI

(loudly)

We need a ball! Mom, get us one!

Mitsuki and Mikasa, sharing a conspiratorial glance, embark on a leisurely stroll towards the nearby toy shop. Meanwhile, Inko, engrossed in her smartphone, remains within earshot, her maternal instincts ever vigilant.

CUT TO:

EXT. TOY SHOP - DAY

As Mitsuki and Mika approach the toy shop, a sinister presence looms in the shadows. A figure clad in ebony attire emerges, his demeanor shrouded in darkness.

With an ominous flicker, he invokes his quirk, ensnaring MOMO in a chilling display of power.

MOMO

(voice trembling)

h....help.

A palpable tension grips the air, freezing Izuku, Izumi, Katsuki, and Inko in its icy embrace. Their collective fear suffuses the atmosphere, casting a pall over the once-joyous scene.

IZUKU (V.O.)

(anguished)

I always thought how courageous heroes are to save people but this look in the eyes of the person in front of me who wanted to kill Mi-chan, for some reason sent shivers down my spine with fear.

A surge of pain courses through Izuku's mind, its intensity overwhelming him as he succumbs to unconsciousness. When he awakens, the tableau before him is one of chaos and despair.

IZUKU (V.O.)

(fear-stricken)

I awoke to a nightmare—a tapestry of pain, burns, and injuries that defiled the innocence of our playground haven.

Inko, her once-composed demeanor marred by severe burns, lies in anguish beside a wounded Izumi. Momo, unconscious and injured, lies amidst the wreckage of their shattered tranquility. As Izuku registers the blood seeping from his head wound, he descends once more into the abyss of unconsciousness, the echoes of their shared trauma lingering in the air like a haunting refrain.
