The duo X had met moments earlier were walking slowly through the busy streets of musutafu, their slow movement contrasting with the tumult of the vehicles and the hurried march of the other civilians.
The young man must have been in his twenties, his brown hair unruly, stuck together by the sweat of stress, his hazel eyes shone with extreme, almost pathological stress. He was dressed only in a simple white t-shirt and brown jeans. His face was hollowed out with wrinkles and dark circles despite his young age, which gave him an air of constant distress.
The paraplegic woman in the wheelchair he was pushing was older than him, probably in her forties. She had long white hair and gray eyes. Her hollow face expressed extreme fatigue and emptiness. She was dressed in a blue jacket and a sober white shirt over a very long skirt.
Her eyes followed the road traffic with a neutral expression, with no apparent emotion on her face…
"Mom... This city is huge, are you sure you can?" the young man asked in a trembling voice, his fingers trembling on the push handles of the chair.
The woman replied with a cold, tired smile, which formed a kind of disturbing grin on her pale face.
"You'll be there to support me, won't you? With you by my side, I am invincible... So trust me, Mamoru..." replied Mamoru's mother.
Mamoru nodded with an obedient smile. He knew that his mother would never lie to him, together they were invincible…

Meanwhile, in the beautiful beach of Dagobah, Izuku was punching the air with his fists. Small gusts of wind created by the compression of the air released by his fists swept across the fine yellow sand.
His body was covered in green electric arcs and his eyes shone intensely, a powerful electric green.
His body had just gotten used to 23% of the one for all, he was now pushing his body to master 25%.
When he received the Quirk, 15% had assimilated perfectly thanks to his well-trained body, but the percentage rise had become much slower after that…
Izuku knew that it would take more than just basic training to gain more power, so he was counting on UA to get stronger!
All Might's successor stopped after an hour and sat down on the sand before feeling a cold sensation on his cheek marked with that big childhood scar. It was a can of Holy that was stuck to his cheek.
"I knew you'd be here, young Izuku!" exclaimed a deep, happy voice.
Izuku turned around and exploded with joy at the sight of his idol!
"All might!"
"Right, young Izuku!" replied All Might, giving a big smile and a thumbs up.
He was in his emaciated form, with a large jacket, a t-shirt and jeans hanging from his hips.
"It's been a month since we've seen each other now, haven't we?" said all might, handing izuku Holy's can.
"Yes it's true, you were probably busy, I totally understand that. I now have a good command of Black whip and I am striving to reach 25% of OFA." said Izuku with a determined smile.
All might nodded with a smile filled with pride. Izuku had not skimped on his efforts. He was really a little prodigy…
"I'm really happy to hear that, young Izuku. Now, I will be present this last month before the exam, to accompany you in your training and support you..."
"Thank you, you don't know how important it is to me..." smiles the green-haired boy, his eyes shining with gratitude.
********************
Mamoru and his mother were in the public square. A giant marble and gold X of more than 15 meters was enthroned in the center, supported on one of its branches.
The mother closed her eyes and raised both hands with a serene smile. Her hands were covered in a purple aura that only grew...
"Hey!!"
The hero Kamui Woods arrived abruptly, accompanied by his companion Death Arms. They were on patrol together when they saw this strange duo. Kamui Woods felt his heroic instinct scream when he saw them, especially the woman...
"You are not allowed to use your Quirk without a permit and in a public place!" exclaimed Death Arms, placing his heavy and powerful hand on Mamoru's shoulder, who shook like a dead leaf in the wind and groaned in fear.
"I ask you to please follow us... What are your names?" asked the hero of the forest firmly.
Mamoru's mother remained silent for a few minutes, watching the civilians who stopped to observe. Some were already taking their phones...
"Miko Ayatsuru, hero... but unfortunately, I don't think you can forbid me anything... It's quite the opposite," Miko finally replied calmly with a cold smile.
The two heroes remained frozen for a few minutes and kamui woods was about to seriously intervene.
Mamoru put a trembling hand on his mother's shoulder...
She was instantly covered in a powerful purple aura!!
The purple aura grew at a phenomenal speed, covering the entire street like a purple shroud…
*******************************
10 blocks away... Trinity X was coming out of a cafeteria, full and rested after a few rescues and the fight against the villain porcupine.
"aaahh... The flan was delicious! The pancakes too!" exclaimed azula, smiling blissfully.
"what a glutton..." Akane sneered behind Azula, her hand on her hip.
Azula grunted with her shark teeth as she glared akane.
Lisa clutched her magical girl scepter as she watched them with a sweet smile but her smile quickly disappeared.
"Our neighbor left so quickly after the rescue... I hope he didn't have any serious problems," she said to herself with concern.
The trio continued to talk to each other, mixing argument and laughter.
Suddenly, azula stopped abruptly with an expression of extreme shock!
"Azula?" asked Lisa in astonishment and fear.
Akane frowned but didn't have time to place a word...
Azula abruptly raised both hands and blocked a purple wave that spread all around them, coloring the entire area an unhealthy purple.
The purple wave exploded against azula's green aura, shattering like glass!
TCHINK!!!!!!!
CLINK!!!!!
Lisa and akane were protected from the purple wave thanks to azula's psychic protection. Amazement was visible on their faces as azula took a deep breath, sweat beading down her wrinkled forehead.
"What happened, Azula?!?" Akane asked eagerly.
Lisa looked with fear at the environment around them, purple and dark... Her heart was pounding.
"It was... A mental attack, extremely powerful! I felt it to the second, if I had acted a second earlier, the three of us would be zombified and controlled like fucking puppets!" exclaimed azula.
"It has spread... All the people around will surely be checked… " Azula added with a very worried expression.
"So... Maybe we are the only ones in the whole city still standing, to fight such a villain?" Lisa asked with fear.
...….....
Meanwhile, Izuku was still talking with his mentor when the purple wave reached them…
All might rubbed his head grunting and Izuku took his head in his hands, an excruciating migraine made him wobble and his physical body collapsed into the sand while his consciousness straightened in the famous dimension where he had met Banjo, his body covered in the same green mist.
He also saw Banjo, surrounded by misty and dark silhouettes of different colors: pink, purple, red...
"Well, fortunately we did it quickly, kid..." said Daigoro Banjo with extreme seriousness.
