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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzGOD5eB4V
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdmrwGkSyJ
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs6eKR8lgk
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcFaMDJc3
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRyahlAX9U
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ580azdsPOH
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqZZz7wUeW
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2DLkD6fMC
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivLi6KPDuW
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL38mYJVyW
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMH8f4iFGd
Fubuki: “It did.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaPwDEfb3Y
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhGX3IQam
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxYaz5CQoJ
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMktjo8Sv1J
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeVBnzczXw
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF41BoBzKxm
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJcdHtVrf
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?
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0j8OReFKr
It’s too much.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx859Ttzmcy
The ground lightly shakes.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwqGpyMsuv
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRJQYNrPr0
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkS9CLgcfc
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaR0tAHTNm
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNreqP9557
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNyPygbi3U
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0bwYmtCSK
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP4zmGZ9h7
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP76Qx0z4Fw
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOsvIKAFHa
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfD7yKaYCz
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ysOcwWFx
Fubuki: “No.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzCBe2x7zV
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhgv7fAjoq
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjji0c5rwhK
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSbBiuQyof
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVms6Nppp6H
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IBt0LexSx
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoRt3Xxh1C
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqXybyR9s
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1drva2ya9
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNNzJ1dsF0
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsRd3ijLPe
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XdQqHT5r5
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEazsXQqVO8
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.’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwcfjZbHO7
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eQXLbn2Zl
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD3kxG0Naw
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOUJy1Lszc
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpbykUDXqX
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7HR5X0rMf
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEpasHsHg
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx5pUW5o1n
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrnnNrftyq
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATjxGJBGnz
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6GIcEcIhG
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrGRf7L6ME
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJhsUcwnkK
Something must have happened. Something serious.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmJaKr3F6
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXb7Cl38RE
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNkWt0qztw
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDbPnMDfq9
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITdXqraKhj
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzCM8CUhlm
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgKbTqhbj9
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm1aAYQ1Wi
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarUWChTKak
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdinmj7TjhO
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFHRiLdDI
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJBaZnl5Qh
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwo7Ymt1qT
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85uXXP6jL
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt22pI3H51z
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnfxiQPhdW
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdWml9HQnk
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…”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSdMZswspU
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUP2PlQMMj
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4VpwhO30
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfplHjQjJw
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNrupXysv
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFx3cWLexm
Something she never wanted to see again.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9XvHJ4fNk
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouOpkSJb5G
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu5cYabZ4b
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhh7d2iBhH
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLKnwLRn1
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsQk0Tla4Z
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgVTeLlh5q
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr8Bqqtiqi
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYgjkCHMCg
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsUU0uUZ9c
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKdsBvgJpc
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBpLmjwtG
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46dDRnCixc
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVvEw43JzE
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnmIpzJRE4
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AwEcHH0y4
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfPvTbcIiU
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXL7mBNiby
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3arwN4bddF
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmHdh5LCk9
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqcGqra985
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89HOp4tSjO
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z8Xxs1xnI
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACJcTEojF7
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoy3y5RHuP
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVNqQjPqwg
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR77qKeJ88v

Something has changed.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeephf1j9
The inner world of Izuku was different.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAsPm1CDo
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAnDIdumO8
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDibRdogo1e
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAN9HDSxaP
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo5swY9F7M
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TInzXMrzE
It was too much.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfNHiaD4Lr
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbW1S15hiK
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiD7B1w2OS
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VcF0yyay
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzZHKc1YbZ
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wANEJq3K
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUSdjxDQbu
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNlfzisS3d
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVE5QhTtJf

A/N: I made it!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCtvv9SQNd
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTVIWGkr4B
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoux2P4hIUm
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfD0pvPcO
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAffqU1OM1V
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38wM7Doa4X
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKleLPyOGBF
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcncTzrBKs
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
