It had been ten years since that night.
Ten years since a frightened child saw gods in his dreams and learned that stars could bend at his touch.
Now, the city of Musutafu had changed — taller buildings, brighter lights, louder chaos.
But even among the noise, danger was never far.
At Tatooin Station, panic reigned.
A massive villain — nearly four stories tall, with skin like cracked stone and eyes burning with rage — rampaged through the plaza, tossing cars aside like toys.
"Someone stop him!" a bystander screamed as heroes rushed in, trying to contain the destruction.
Cementoss formed barriers, Death Arms tried to pin the brute down, and Mount Lady was already growing to her gigantic form to engage him directly.
But nothing was working. The villain roared and shattered through the hero defenses, sending shockwaves through the station.
And amid the chaos, the crowd parted slightly as a boy walked by — calm, expression unreadable, the white of his hair catching the sunlight.
His eyes were an icy, glowing blue, the kind that seemed to hold galaxies inside them.
He was wearing the traditional Japanese black gakuran, its gold buttons gleaming faintly in the sunlight.
The uniform was perfectly neat, his collar straight, shoes polished — he looked every bit the ordinary student on his way home from class.
Except for his silvery-white hair that caught the light like threads of starlight.
And his eyes, deep blue with faint cosmic shimmer, watching the chaos with calm detachment.
"Same story, different day," he muttered under his breath.
He extended his hand slightly, his fingers tracing faint circular glyphs of light that shimmered in midair — golden and intricate, forming around his wrists like cosmic rings.
A low hum filled the air as blue lines of energy flared around him, spiraling out in perfect synchronization.
The villain turned just as rings of solid light flew through the air, splitting and reshaping mid-flight into chains of energy, glowing with geometric patterns.
"Phastos's tech," Izuku murmured quietly. "Still works like a charm."
The glowing bands wrapped around the villain's arms and legs, tightening with every move he made.
The cosmic metal adjusted instantly to pressure, recalibrating its strength every second.
"W-what the—?!" the villain roared, struggling, but the more he fought, the stronger the constructs held.
The crowd gasped as the monstrous form was brought to his knees, pinned under the glowing energy sigils that radiated faintly with celestial light.
Even the heroes froze, unsure of what they were seeing.
"Did... did someone just use support tech remotely?" Death Arms muttered in disbelief.
Mount Lady leaped forward, preparing a final kick — but as she swung her leg, the restraints automatically reacted, reconfiguring into a capture web, snapping around both her and the villain mid-motion.
"Wha—?! Hey! Let me go!" she shouted, dangling in shock as both she and the villain were immobilized midair in glowing bonds.
Izuku blinked. "Ah... whoops."
With a flick of his fingers, the circular glyphs reappeared in his palms. The glowing cuffs and rings dissolved into particles of light, vanishing completely as though they'd never existed.
