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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZHOj38WBR
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP29S3Wdqh
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMlZzYFde9
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbW0NsxVkv
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBSPojwWfZ
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9EnXZlEJ2
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQaxHwTivC
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1SVtKxLgz
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEXdBJQago
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPfuPQ1KD8
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrxDpokOII
Fubuki: “It did.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX9LKfgJIa
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ocokGXVHA
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm7igPm8K1
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAQplKk0TQ
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj38H5xlTQe
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojcYl796uu
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFwooGk3fQ
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?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI6gnFSUJP
It’s too much.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiwYuiKoTD
The ground lightly shakes.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9OPhWjwOF
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YQyyzBksf
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYw6GGZuLL
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW9ULxvv7L
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sYk0hkiDf
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz1hir8xrk
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtskuYqROT4
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesomaDytt2
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb2gmzJRPB
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL20zr8ldW
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bMJtq6qMA
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBaQdOB298
Fubuki: “No.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUJqePMRoq
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwLpyUHVnx
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYnEacgJZf
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhZ60iwJvK
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzj6A7HEJ6
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1lRhb5VjN
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDRvYkOMUj
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBFAeGUXbf
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIjHZV4jNd
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwbXk97G1B
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5ZX5he4O
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaE7RC1lwa
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspEOE81Zvz
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.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTUo2pBs0u
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUQ04jC3K7
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmMbuxEZdZ
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLUqmsJxz
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2HyIW50za
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4Xa62ynd
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7oFFxWckG
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXbfWRt0d3
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7q1NWIiEj
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nA5GqUFNF
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZbJOJTtwJ
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBIW0pTxc
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJEcG5QgiV
Something must have happened. Something serious.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM68vH5d0Qw
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsuh4zDWz
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDZ8c6Nu7
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQOBxdcLLS
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBXDIwjFU
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVyayfhY1g
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5s7ze3MsJ
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi0W9Cxvgh
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsHgpMXRjk
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGlSv3j19b
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAldW44rSGE
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTBDOiJvmx
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQRbU83Vxm
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE4GCE1jPO
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9yjApn8lP
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d8wKzNOUV
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVXfntHaw6
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…”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cdpDSGiZQ
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC368XrrmW
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWcr7Qz4Ly
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPcG7MErZ
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafY1elv5af
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuHMlnTrNF
Something she never wanted to see again.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGKHbJd9wY
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5MT49KWTu
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSA7xPZG54
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaz2pzm6r8
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPTakHxZDL
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWcpKO2HL8
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzJxbmt3Mo
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUANL8qAFX
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG5O6e6bGu
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrLt6aiiwq
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIKKaLbhCv
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI5Pw4JGJC
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHmFAZUP9
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8FIkqkNkr
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdmSP5eRwc
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYwrVFBUuX
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyx5RModGk
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiJCCzAOXD
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUsElGGtEL
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06QYhz55n6
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalbAsDdnNa
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZWG6bCjqw
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3un4SESA8P
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK2F5Oj5Ac
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7xZoiM4IU
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU8iDWs9cj
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOYC6h3aq

Something has changed.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqSPrCwUY4
The inner world of Izuku was different.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwAaoIzH59
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7VyCN6oMC
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIugYDLe1
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBHaqctl1i
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJC02MVwyM
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzHor0FSX6
It was too much.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYr9sjVCey
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUleG23CIei
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8TD09H210
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8KAZG3L6A
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohvUP7ATOX
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAax344C0OU
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b2DWE64Ih
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOJeeFdKJB
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibiZX5NMi9
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlqEPNxVIQ
A/N: I made it!
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ6vjUemuc
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHnUbVI7G8
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2KEjNVBMc
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5noUg1mDUI
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFojG6aVA
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1s9a1JikS
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CoWg6kGWG
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrruwLYsClZ
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
