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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6KXVTjrCj
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBf25uJDzg
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshNt1RdZMl
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivkmky2SWV
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYS5dnaCy
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH9HDmqlKm
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ5vDrUs0g
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0pCN9cw5
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcqQoNYvuy
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohHDd44ijI
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw6ZhYnBLQ
Fubuki: “It did.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvarK0BPfjk
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAHRZ9tjIE
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaca7DLuP7
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXtyFUUdwm
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWJ2Nk0RDf
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhFecYku30
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0pVJalwv7
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?
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFI2IqoMyc
It’s too much.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLxovA4BhV
The ground lightly shakes.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXso8cIeqg
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquj4dqkV06
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO2JQFKdCG
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjel80xUqW
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop78JwIheR
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h6Ua6LPxl
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxTqVNrMY
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Dy9z3ruh
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHkPK6sgGm
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5FHCezz2
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1A5g4MmR8
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ok6pjyyH
Fubuki: “No.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPbcKtMjBW
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2ZedGuCz
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ud6crGntw
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNzMY2gvPH
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhH8bAOuFB
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGABvgHBlO
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0a2peym9R
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PBigSD063
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ1ZmhExEe
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPOf4Zoqy
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcAJH4b3qQ
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr2lSNITrz
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ1hF5PNDL
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.’
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kVmy7wsqp
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VTrN7Hpnf
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA10Ac0Ulx
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzunN3Vj4V
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvyudGFJYa
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzNZUZ349x
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ47MNVqBa
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uKU11rkp2
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYXhSp0gPd
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ixePselA
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5maus2SoC
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZckEhoArlR
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXepuGKpqb
Something must have happened. Something serious.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQCtlw8DAE
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQ3ipkPho
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpm6GmDWx9
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUwEivHm3F
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l9TNn4wCL
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgdZ0GZEjI
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDkhKXSfJW
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUwANzgdfY
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE0di5pKCJ
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfdKo9QwBe
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmT26hCzSV
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo0XfKXDW1
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.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNzBNpAcvk
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.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRVj34GnNm
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7RExT6c3C
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE2a7xsEmj
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52UAriJnSo
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…”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBA5Yq4uYm
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzHOxGpArD
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.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioWFrhoa3p
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SYJbZTtmO
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsfxXXBLkZ
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS26TKhZidj
Something she never wanted to see again.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynUPI8UwFo
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmsWTFU7q
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66euahA29r
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF2F7Lsi2e
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xobqcHx0y
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqn20YUqXD
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkFxfWjjNX
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw2GS3CH5L
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqcMvTZpvl
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6TiAo1uiI
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.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcFCa2Jfvy
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z4O2UAIRu
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRz5EIwFXX
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg9RAQRkYs
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicjRCN7fJJ
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonZ8NEyxTG
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8L85hYrzJ
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.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWphkReP8Z
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvihjjlM9h
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeZdMvaQ5U
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4bdD5eLiD
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kMgQqZDC
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR2RZ506u7
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOHaGhDOD
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.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6qRD5D8C6
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgUk2TvkJX
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ZYTP3Hqf

Something has changed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQlIZ6Ihi8
The inner world of Izuku was different.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLuMEzg2JD
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmCgWrjZ6i
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbcs5pDknY
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7l9G65kX4
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXysVx6yCH
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcKVoe1iL4
It was too much.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIRC3wLJ98
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM5AcPlIhy
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM55tt0DEJ
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPi931jfG1
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QkkeHTTKY
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hm6ueCVnP
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG812u97Ti4
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNbXLYZmPw
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1GrAIcEGz

A/N: I made it!
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK4pTNW47T
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosOMMCwX9W
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKmr41wBi6
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLndgfiVKsF
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD285uiMbDJ
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiDErisSXV
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdktMxx72tE
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqBXrOLATo
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
