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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRAY0FJhab
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX8Eqz9KKQ
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiaDH0ZSE
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjw9VrveZT
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ytw0p0E4
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W8aDeyeBB
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcGVdCqfaC
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzuGZoGSbJ
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ864AxECaTi
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdHrnxdxMh
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4ud8QMnn
Fubuki: “It did.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjlidBu4yu
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcjqI0zOCH
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdbCoKTmXD
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAmvHU5Qa4
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih0A27EWTB
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQYXGFZhGv
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp9mf6uzbj
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?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8meXLDRem
It’s too much.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWGumRt3Pw
The ground lightly shakes.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjHcQ84yLB
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17IfLE0vtG
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbxVsUKLTU
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJdMIkMlkd
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWXNPUWKPs
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60x3IaP273
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh1xS651YQ
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28nvYlzmJa
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsYNUoT3KB
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFGzSiGt2t
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzWbCkIZtT
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK4raikGu3
Fubuki: “No.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqObaJQZjs
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo10DfhwQ9x
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOHjSuVhPe
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDvUtkKtG0
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHSRYN1xKU
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7msFhxpoFe
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NIPt5QiL4
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUANuZabK5j
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfHRYDuYwz
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3VUf6WGwK
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBiKziucIm
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuwaLatpA4
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwKBYQIONj
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.’
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADGRj9RafC
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9KbcAFLWY
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzA5zmOFdv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7inqCpKARI
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CzVBtCiOA
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdjNdAUvJk
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBziKRpqMJF
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogiNnKiHQ0
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Egypjyo2M
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfffNkz3b9
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzftG30e9Kz
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDbTDW6aZx
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT1JGDJH6B
Something must have happened. Something serious.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosK67rJktb
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWUe8LDwUl
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFnAYZ6f2v
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1looah6xB
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvirjw3q7Yf
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07eKkTuOe
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NRa3dGlg8
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBLfWiXr2T
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGKjdrcjb
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWoNJLNgQy
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0MNmAb4qt
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DKSil13yq
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LeyRvmX2S
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05oYOWvJmk
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucHsqtiLOC
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhTcvaBkSV
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQlj8bAIeJ
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…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzAT09D1jO
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM7lfXLwGy
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqDQxlf0TQ
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vyMbwCm0f
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWLeLYNtjI
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K9ScJdAnk
Something she never wanted to see again.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0EPr7Z1Hp
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUynUgvyc2
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNqkS9n4Vi
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm4ELtbLrA
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8wh8P03j
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqFAU2XhEa
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJZnuuCRJK
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4Uzf3svT
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlthKVoZl
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbJpwn1CEK
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDmGmP2HXF
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcAkflnMpa
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tidvAc3jw
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxvQrrbwVK
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGLOpaCwmT
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqin9u0Xp3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5d6MJgY40
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH8UiLSa1q
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnJVTbhhfE
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1WixIABaJ
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dKYf3nbXz
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rOSCiL54d
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpNuWVJqqz
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgERnKgZxq2
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJKJHQt97
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu321AvnaC4
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbztflK1uW

Something has changed.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaocDLSpz0c
The inner world of Izuku was different.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vrP2zRDlu
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFePAy6u00V
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFkmL59leD
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVoBO6rkly
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01fTqBmcK
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nFsjyPLqx
It was too much.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgNggZUqln
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMCwD5KrQ7
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBGYhdxTvE
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfApmL1kK
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFYeZYWZx
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXu4KAmLc
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtteXfPJi1L
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aN30dCMpD
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfcLfBqSjp
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6M8yQy7fX
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELrm1G5PpA
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPA4dyITW
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH5tAkJDcC
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5shB1q99p3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VhKJDsZkg
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSI2upFjiX
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbBqSyFbLg
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
