The private plane flew smoothly through the clouds, on its way from America to Japan. Inside, Kaori Satoru, the daughter of the renowned No. 1 hero of America, Gojo Satoru, sat in an opulent seat, exuding an air of confidence and grace. Her father's assistant, Mito, sat across from her, engaged in conversation.
Kaori: "Oh my, I thought these people had potential, but no one is here to challenge me."
Mito: "It's not like that, Mam. Your father, Gojo Satoru, who was the No. 1 hero in America, recommended you to attend this high school. He has great respect for the world's No. 1 hero, Deku."
Kaori sighed, twirling a strand of her platinum hair between her fingers.
Kaori: "Well, I know he respects him, but I can't believe my father retired from the No. 1 Hero position. He could still be the strongest if he wanted to."
Mito nodded, understanding her frustration.
Mito: "Your father has accomplished so much in his career. He believes it's time for the next generation to step up. And he sees great potential in you, Kaori."
Kaori's expression softened slightly at Mito's words. She looked out the window, watching the endless expanse of sky and ocean below.
Kaori: "I suppose you're right. If my father believes in this school, there must be something worth exploring. But I won't settle for mediocrity. I'll push them to their limits if I have to."
Mito smiled, admiring Kaori's determination.
Mito: "I'm sure you'll make a significant impact at U.A. High. Just remember to keep an open mind. You might be surprised by what you find."
Kaori nodded thoughtfully, her eyes still fixed on the horizon.
Kaori: "We'll see, Mito. We'll see."
As Kaori Satoru walked into U.A. High School, she was greeted by Principal Aizawa at the entrance.
Aizawa: "How are you, Kaori?"
Kaori: "I'm good, Aizawa-san."
They chatted for a bit as they made their way through the halls. As they approached the courtyard, Kaori noticed a student sitting on a bench, lost in thought.
Kaori: "Mr. Aizawa, who is he?"
Aizawa looked over at the student, his expression changing to one of concern.
Aizawa: "That's Shoya."
Kaori's eyes widened in shock.
Kaori: "Shoya? But he looks different."
Aizawa sighed, knowing the story would be difficult to explain.
Aizawa: "Shoya has been through a lot. Three years ago, he, along with two others, were kidnapped and experimented on by villains. They were subjected to horrific treatments, which changed them physically and mentally. Shoya now goes by the name 03 and doesn't remember much of his past, including his family."
Kaori took a deep breath, trying to process the information.
Kaori: "That's...horrible. I can't believe he went through all of that."
Aizawa nodded solemnly.
Aizawa: "Yes, it was a dark time. But he's here now, and we're doing our best to support him and help him regain his memories and his life."
Kaori glanced back at Shoya, feeling a mix of empathy and determination.
Kaori: "I'll make sure to keep an eye on him. Maybe I can help in some way."
Aizawa smiled faintly, appreciating her willingness to assist.
Aizawa: "I'm sure you will, Kaori. Just be patient with him. He's been through more than most can imagine."
Kaori wandered the school grounds, observing her new surroundings. As she turned a corner, she spotted Shoka, who immediately adopted a smug expression
Shoka: "Kaori Satoru, you're here. I heard a lot about you."
Before Shoka could continue, Kaori cut her off with a sharp question.
Kaori: "Do you feel anything for your brother in any manner?"
Shoka scoffed dismissively.
Shoka: "Oh please, he was a loser anyway. Even though he doesn't have his memories, it doesn't change the fact that he was the biggest disappointment."
Kaori's eyes narrowed, and she released her aura, making Shoka drop to her knees under the heavy pressure.
Kaori: "He was kind, and it's a shame that you didn't see it."
Struggling to speak under the weight of Kaori's aura, Shoka retorted with bitterness.
Shoka: "He was weak, and I don't know why you even care about him so much. He doesn't even remember you anyway."
Kaori's gaze softened slightly, but her resolve remained firm.
Kaori: "Memory or not, he deserves respect and compassion. Something you clearly lack."
With that, Kaori lifted the pressure, leaving Shoka gasping for breath on the ground. As Kaori walked away, she resolved to do whatever she could to help Shoya and perhaps, in time, make his sister realize the error of her ways.
The next day, a chaotic scene unfolded on the streets of Tokyo. Bakugo and Shoto were assisting civilians in the aftermath of an accident when a villain suddenly rushed toward them.
Bakugo and Shoto readied themselves for a fight, but someone else intervened.
???: "Razor, it's been a while."
Razor: "03... You're one of the strongest weapons the villains created."
Shoya: "Well, you see, in U.A., everyone was just a bore. I want to see a real person who can give me a real fight."
Razor: "You think you can defeat us?"
Shoya: "I'm not alone."
Suddenly, dead bodies of villains dropped in front of Razor. Bakugo and Shoto were shocked.
Bakugo: "Who made them like this?"
????: "Yo, it's been a while, Razor."
Razor was terrified when he looked up.
Razor: "02, why are you here?"
Ken: "Just wanna have fun, that's all."
Bakugo looked up and saw Ken flying, barely holding back tears.
Shoto: "It can't be... it's Ken, and he's also changed."
Ken: "Well, 03, you told me that you wanted to show me something, but I didn't expect Razor to show up."
Shoya: "Well, 02, you want to have a real fight, right? Let's see what these villains can do."
Ken: "Are you serious?"
Ken swiftly cut down all the villains using his Sukuna Kitchen Technique, then turned to Shoya.
Ken: "Well, 03, you did give me a reason, but I'm still not convinced about joining U.A."
Shoya glanced at Ken, his eyes gleaming with a mix of challenge and anticipation.
Shoya: "Well, 02, you know that no one in U.A. can give me a proper challenge. That's why I want you to join U.A. At least it will be a bit fun."
Ken put his hand on his chin, pondering.
Ken: "Well, I want to complete my high school education anyway, but I don't have money."
???: "I can sponsor you."
Ken turned around, surprised, to see Bakugo standing there.
Ken: "Mr. Bakugo... no, Dynamite. What's your motive?"
Bakugo, trying to hold back his tears, stepped forward.
Bakugo: "02, I know what you and the others went through. We want to help you."
Ken: "Without a reason?"
Bakugo took a deep breath, his voice trembling with emotion.
Bakugo: "Because we failed you. We failed to protect you. And now, we want to make it right. Let us help you, 02. It's the least we can do."
Ken studied Bakugo's face for a moment, then glanced at Shoya.
Ken: "Well, 03, it seems like we might have some interesting times ahead at U.A."
Shoya nodded, a rare smile playing on his lips.
Shoya: "Looks like it's settled then."
Bakugo and Shoto stood in a quiet corner, away from the bustling streets of Tokyo. The aftermath of the battle had left them with a mix of relief and anxiety.
Bakugo: "How do we make them remember, Shoto? How do we bring back our sons?"
Shoto looked out into the distance, his expression pensive.
Shoto: "It's not going to be easy. They've been through so much, and those experiments... they changed them."
Bakugo clenched his fists, frustration evident in his voice.
Bakugo: "We have to find a way. We can't lose them again."
Shoto nodded, a determined look in his eyes.
Shoto: "We'll start by showing them the truth, bit by bit. Remind them of who they were before all this."
Bakugo: "And what if they reject it? What if they refuse to remember?"
Shoto placed a hand on Bakugo's shoulder, offering a reassuring squeeze.
Shoto: "Then we keep trying. We can't give up on them. They need to know that we're here for them, no matter what."
Bakugo took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions.
Bakugo: "You're right. We'll do whatever it takes. For Ken and for Shoya."
Shoto: "And for Toshinori. We'll find him too."
They stood there in silence for a moment, both lost in their thoughts, before finally nodding to each other.
