Izuku, Fubuki, and Kiri glowed green before being lifted by Tatsumaki. She deposited them in a far corner of the central plaza before floating closer to their new location.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqsE6IJH40
Seeing this, the other heroes decided to leave the Midoriya family to deal with their own. Kirishima gave a glance at Kiri while All Might looked toward Izuku, both filled with worry and concern.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDb5I34rU6
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91uLdb2ia3
The heroes and students are snapped out of their inner thoughts enough to start regrouping properly. As for the Tatsumaki, she floats over her little siblings lying on soft grass unconscious. Fubuki is sitting down with her back against the wall.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT2ILyzmHn
The eldest sister looks over them, and Izuku’s wounds stand out the most. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. She knows she can’t blow up every time they get hurt. They’re going to be heroes after all.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJPMjj5Ww
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanvxiv7jCJ
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y1k5N43rl
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZjFOvhVk
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8MnwCCF7U
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWk4htak4K
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JmGzlNKQZ
Fubuki: “It did.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom7aKKWqHY
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpnxOZpfTG
Fubuki did so but made sure to keep Apotheosis’s relation to them secret. Her elder sister was doing very well at keeping calm, but that would break her tight control.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQh1XaPq9
After the story was told, the two sisters kept silent for a moment. But it didn’t take long for Tatsumaki to start tightening her fist.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxuxzPnliF
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDTLX3yj18
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mryYyQ2bC
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoC1wdC3Qi
Fubuki can see it in her sister’s increasingly intense gaze. A familiar madness she’s trying so hard to keep down. But seeing her brother and new sister hurt so soon into their first school year? With a crazy group of villains that can prevent her from knowing when her family is in danger?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdv0V1scp0
It’s too much.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesGPxqMfhz
The ground lightly shakes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpoRfnxfT6
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74C4zLXAX6
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3vQkHe5NE
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnlVtEb8w2
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM11FI7pcD
Tatsumaki’s shock quickly gives way to anger as she glares at her sister. But Fubuki doesn’t back down and glares back. Their staring contest continued until Fubuki spoke.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWUC1LTVEi
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19e6XrCQvO
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbLeq8DKbR
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31d5v6UqYs
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mnlis5tn2
Fubuki’s mouth hangs open at what her sister is suggesting. A part of her wants to fight her, to finally prove that she can stand proudly by her sister. To finally impress her with her power.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgUL2v7q2V
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRskyRglHs
Fubuki: “No.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUOBTnCifw
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbf6yDQYJr
Then that old promise returned to her mind. The one she made with her mother, to not suffocate her family. To not be that monster from before. It’s nothing but a slippery slope.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgUW7j5E63
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6jFifm3Y
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXjdyDr5h5
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9hvLV1e8
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM2cclQmDU
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61d3W5mhLY
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSAWh4wXxd
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm95JM0KxS
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCLo4mE6K
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvSceWS9T9
She looks at her unconscious brother and remembers that sensation from before. That vile power that was far greater than what she expected from him.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6tQdUTILL
Fubuki: ‘Something else I have to hide from Tatsu. I have no idea how she may react to it. Happy that he’s getting stronger or worried about the nature of such power.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU2AryHt1I
She sighs and pushes herself up. Worry fills her lungs, but she breathes it out. She has to keep moving forward for the sake of her family.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9dKqNghJN
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT880PGwysC
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpliwTLDjb
Inko was taking the day to relax and watch some of her drama shows. She hates how quiet the house is without Izuku or Kiri, so these shows are a good way to pass the time until they come home.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghYTN8sohu
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VMVRWGen5
Doesn’t change the fact these shows are not the best things out there. But hey, if she can’t eat junk food all the time, then junk TV will have to do.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wp3QQRsh7
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmurjAIa9rR
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYqy6C4Ktl
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqid9UHI6XV
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe5xOsjHAJ
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwVWMtVbJZ
She must be the perfect strong hero in the eyes of her siblings after all. She can never show weakness to them. The only exception is her mother, but even then, this is out of the ordinary.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR3f4HoFi0
Something must have happened. Something serious.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaxliBOvkO
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeUdRwAajT
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIklURdsye
The mother’s eyes widen even further. She remembers that time shortly after their father was… dealt with. Tatsumaki was scary back then. Controlling, overprotective, and nearly lethal to anyone who would even look their way.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqFPW7TqFP
It got so much worse when she learned Inko was pregnant. It’s not like they could stop her; even a young Tatsumaki was powerful.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7veUclrCwT
So all Inko could do was beg after a practically bad fight between Fubuki and Tatsumaki. Beg and plead to a young Tatsumaki that was tearing the family apart.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKVxtanSz
She didn’t know what exactly broke through to her, but Tatsumaki saw what her actions were doing to her and Fubuki. She made the promise, and over time, she got better, especially when Izuku was born. The family healed and became what it is today. A family Inko cherishes beyond anything else.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5tzfdnmyP
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbJ1V8qBdp
Tatsumaki let go of her mother and rubbed the tears away before entering her home. Inko made some calming tea for Tatsu, and the two sat down at the wooden table.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IoJ0VMGvs
Inko silently listened to Tatsumaki’s tale and tried her best not to interrupt. She won’t lie, even she was getting upset at the failure of U.A to protect their students. But she also understood that these things can happen.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGfOwJwJH
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YdRte6jz
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECMExMAIPZ
Inko: “Sweetie, you’re not turning a blind eye. You’re just allowing them to take care of themselves. Based on what you told me, they did well.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMhGcOHsBY
Tatsumaki: “You weren’t there, Mom. You didn’t see how eerily still Kiri was or the burning smell of Izuku’s scorched arms. This… can’t keep happening, Mom. I’ll go mad.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4zLlzaOq0
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fGTpDFCmz
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZw7an9813
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq0X0Yk8cw
Tatsumaki: “Trust? Trust! How can I trust them!? Fubuki wastes all of her time with her little group instead of getting stronger. Izuku and Kiri have potential, but they’re just kids! They can’t handle villains yet! If those villains see them as a serious threat and start to really try…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nlvUzYoBk
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bS7U4tsCR
Tatsumaki: “They could have died, Mom! Fubuki, Izu, and Kiri could have died and I wouldn’t have even known! I wouldn’t have been able to do anything! You have no idea how it feels to have a normal day and then, out of nowhere, be bombarded with the collective pain of my siblings.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyVFZNARL
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGgXbOwQFj
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImfUeGqlC4
It was then that she realized that she lost control for a split second. The table was cracked, and the building was shaking. But worst of all, was the small amount of fear within her mother’s eyes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wUPP193fr
Something she never wanted to see again.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwBTCGt2Q
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QcolseoF
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsAidTVBCI
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UKt4k7bwI
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ0zGR8hpH
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05UY4gcPT0
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAADLSBj3g
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc9X3kPCIz
Kurogiri was behind the counter cleaning the glass. Apotheosis was holding an ice bag over his head and eye on the couch. Tomura was drinking while sitting on one of the seats near the counter.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfxGgqm6hL
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvEM9MI609
Apotheosis: “There’s no such thing as failure. We’ll keep trying again and again until we succeed. Besides, I still managed to get some good data, so we’ll be better prepared next time. That’s assuming a certain someone joins us.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3QRy3lkT
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2z73eJhrI
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkEo6RqbCL
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd8tfGy0Ud
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoSWcG5jmb
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVwWauk2Fk
Suddenly, the TV in the dimly lit room turns on. But there was nothing but a solid white. But the voice behind it was unmistakable.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHBTinQwM
All For One: “Well said, Apotheosis. Learn from this and keep going; sooner or later you three will succeed and become new symbols that will uproot this broken society.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpkeFQbOew
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZSo9VL0i2
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLqfcqkUT8
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFxysMTjZW
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHgpweqmT
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZOahoJFQ9
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KlsISVKYo
All For One: “But to do that, I think it’s finally time you three you meet our… partner. The one who helped secure the quirk beasts and even helped our good doctor create Nomu.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWBVnzc1KK
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUfMxi6agy
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJFOiveor

Something has changed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt9x4NXTfE
The inner world of Izuku was different.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU3jFQgywF
He found himself alone in a vast wasteland expanse with nothing but brass and gold sand as far as the eye could see. Well, no, there was something. At the horizon, there were massive gears slowly rotating. The sound of machinery softly echoed across the dunes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT7nAIGAZ6
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbRwAS9aaq
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuLmX8HAt1
They beat down on him ceaselessly with dry hot fury. His skin felt unbearably hot under their fierce rays, and the sand gathered below his feet seemed to reflect that heat back at him. It was like this terrible place was trying to cook him alive.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeZHbEO07K
But that’s when Izuku noticed what was truly below him. Deep beneath the brass sand, something was pulsating. It was an endless abyss, a red-writhing mass of chaos. If he stared long enough, he swore he could see shapes within, monstrous and unknowable shapes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhqVHcd8tQ
It was too much.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1cdhLP54
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oZqgmRLyA
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhEPI3rc0r
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tha05PycP
Ignoring that, he tried to survey his surroundings. He climbed up the tallest dune he could find and looked around. As he did, he noticed something.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHycoa4GC
A tall figure in desert robes stood on a dune not far from the one he stood on. Although the distance was not that far, he could only hazily make out the figure. The heat caused the air itself to shimmer.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXMfxUwz05
Regardless, he had a goal. He trudged through the sands towards the figure. As he got closer, he was blessedly in the shade of the figure. Looking up at her, he could make out the outline of a feminine form.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCojIk3RCxL
Yet, he could not make out any further details. The halo effect of the glaring sun behind her was too strong. But it was clear she was gigantic… and powerful.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvsA7dB1vx
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyRvtRhT6W
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1dSaWsdf
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8sQmOXz1
Now, I’ll try not to be gone for more than two months. But right now, my focus needs to be on a few other things. Like publishing a book, setting up another fanfic project that has been in the works longer than this (sadly not FoZ), and some grant writing.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTH6BAOGJ5
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3dI5XqG3
In other news, you might have noticed there is one more chapter after this. Well, that’s the interlude. It’s not really a part of season 2, but it does have some important stuff and a scene I couldn’t include in season 1.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfU26njPfU
I hope you enjoyed the ride so far, and please review; it feeds my motivation. I also don’t mind rewriting some things based on well-thought-out and constructive reviews.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUllePIy9i
As for the multitude of references. I did copy some lines at the end there; I guess I have to spoil one part of it.

I swear, if I ever finish the whole story, I’ll probably have made the strongest version of Izuku that isn’t a crack fic or one-shot.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZnmSLxNbG
Finally, Momo, Jiro, and Denki’s fight is nearly the same as the manga/anime. Because of that, I didn’t include it and decided to focus on the more important bits. Sadly, this will bite me in the foot in the long run. I’ll explain in the next chapter.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡousePpso0k
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
