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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4mn5nJhBk
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfdIoj4iwx
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sCah5uFVv
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdM6XJAn3W
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCnBBXx9zG
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCUxI8eWKb
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCbc4YLu6g
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTAoWzjWZ8
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J7idwWrYd
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9D6zIg6Ji
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fVmH4MDxh
Fubuki: “It did.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLc9jUnakm
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wxoZAHxEq
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4svRfp7yz
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aQI2T993q
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAILgbmnapX
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FYErEOS64
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5EQwcd0it
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?
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYoYAez36Y
It’s too much.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7RcR1dM21
The ground lightly shakes.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCtrB9eVCv
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7XmtWiOb
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdRkfpNixz
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnaJoJzzX8
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jBipNcigh
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXdH083GFc
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLoKvSXQUQ
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAXQ7SZbOf
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xBRW3Hkr
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt8X5n7RXF
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67DDZKsoj4
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw7ppK55TM
Fubuki: “No.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSAxAkUZ1k
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigdhQImtpR
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B7GzzTUD9
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWffkWzoOuJ
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3z87OccXS
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA0EZny1iz
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBGR48ZYHU
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVboZhU2ya
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqis800cat0
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4SJBl6FUx
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZdxDaGcL
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRv2VpJend
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0BzqVJsAv
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.’
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53lWrWVZ1h
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6QieGy5UF
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinmsgV3YA0
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrRowLuSid
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWEyeB6Ckt
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbUh6MBUE4
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lB6T0nbGR
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzIzvVNIRs
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMbc1dBdSi
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZYucZIRP
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNFCW6o4T
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeKf5teHH3
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tZATr0OIL
Something must have happened. Something serious.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWPDEYMmwt
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwsYuHRSHI
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTVHbRzp0
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpLnAbOuN1
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNcphZIgRV
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuyGj7TFM6
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8zQ2ytmfl
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT1plU6sqV
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB9GlLsgRZ
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwlpPn6CwI
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeyXXDw9cS
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQMWMWVQ1T
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7R1VTda7H
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYkPMFo2pn
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE7JDDNmQY
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwyOteVTBM
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhgwfaxsP8
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…”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Gm0tHHJ3
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1dYe1Qpbb
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN8o8phfAD
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7qAU0bQZ
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hU3eI8WAb
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE9TNqLCGx
Something she never wanted to see again.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM4EUjhhKU
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAxxdzV62Z
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgmpMdjgNl
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpxuAkIruJ
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHWT4mQ5KR
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YHjedajcl
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Xj081AN2
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQWGp0L4Y7
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5z0HYUJLb
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLst3IJqOWx
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajLsPwC6Cd
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknwQYPMR6T
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9EBGEgWpO
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC88x6UnHDa
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFb8A79ixS
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWSZfuyJ9m
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpA1A7udQH
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSWHrMTatu
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaHSB4A6Tq
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09cg0lsbvx
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiAL7pM3wI
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMwzrLXJ3
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCV30mAlI
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZCCizwjt
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvhGCR1ER
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwygxu7FSLS
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP9XZt6q1n
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”

Something has changed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks9sDcAsoV
The inner world of Izuku was different.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kCpuDlXRX
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFswThVefjJ
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkoSV3nqkL
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hJWXwOxPP
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7jTsuNyKu
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6qAfQ4oG0
It was too much.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bKjoMsI82
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qURfdEaM
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKogKVyXWGg
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g4iONMmEn
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VPvKln4n1
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2nwhFaHvv
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49zHf2dB2
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS6ddDLEOh
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSD3Upmi2I
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0bvbmzn9P
A/N: I made it!
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSk7nhShgH
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxtFwxIf0A
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh24ANkqaqV
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO3zaVi0NB
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSYFUBwJ3n
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjajFj9KRve
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJAPYrWEZ

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXl49oLIhf
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTxzS7wQl0
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.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgc1JiACTK
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
