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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaXDYlHUcI
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5YYhc9JvV
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZVW5dxjMd
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSleKCJP8UG
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfnpF3Mby5
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe9PrxO9Xn
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMGuf5rMGf
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQGYdbu4Rv
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5qY5bDbRS
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohUjVdQmKs
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KVf9zz4bs
Fubuki: “It did.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A0DgNXrmo
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRyqPKNb3
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikkYYsce45
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjIzZwBVW8
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBvKbsnNsx
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dTBQL26ew
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO0sq87Icu
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?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJWo7D5Alw
It’s too much.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluDkHK7RT5
The ground lightly shakes.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXuHx8RzpF
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY9rzDynae
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qkNc4RFt6
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIozUktZeAg
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv6ZK8GBj9
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S7YbcninU
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4W1bkRdF
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyY5tkdw2B
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4AZaLRn1M
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN8HEpafAp
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLRbD2r6P3
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDrqScUk3R
Fubuki: “No.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviuvVbk1GY
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9wJNMURmc
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUjCV2tEsZ
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpz8nWxtXt
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAg8e5EsGe
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp3YLkc8zf
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SiUDFg9dP
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ymw6hmLu8
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4l2zVkkRW
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDXnwBHMOu
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zUZe72zu6
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHlvqTOxd
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWqze1QQGq
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.’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FWBbxlF8P
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMU3mkydcQ
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fcwcX7TN8
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UW4umHPxN
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES0ODdNDvV
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zemXEIVpB
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnsLkrQGWh
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71jetbM3ET
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfFdhiV6e0
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IheU2YRPK
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw1owoaL4g
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiiX2Y5BBp
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMux0Br2a7I
Something must have happened. Something serious.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPEjbpLIgU
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvligTumkw3
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt8PB61eab
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCnb36o97P
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pagSKtpoV
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nRxyPKmcv
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1QvY0LGF4
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yWeB7Cjkw
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCtCfxOByE
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2B4UmA1CA
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzE92Q2d6J
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPxXPrGpj
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.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxtvoUAxMU
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.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF3XQ4T9es
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS1mk9H0ep
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd6bn0Skpa
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL65j4r9hD
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…”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DKulhcS0u
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGYOzmeO8D
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.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYlh35izv
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqyYJ8aAU1
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9zRcwNvc
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln6yKqNimv
Something she never wanted to see again.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm19smHbOSQ
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbGREnD4Br
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo395p2QWMF
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVuHCFcYvp
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAyEinrYa
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbHCDoKIc
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFmlMpCSnO
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDDjByPNkK
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpwf0SaE0z
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsyMZCsYNz
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.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2UMFptYj0
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoeIKesHT4
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g2rNmWFTR
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZM7orDMih
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTQiGkb57y
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37LB3nGIQD
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ItvfN7kpA
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.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrmE2jHB5
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bepI7F7U
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU3pfkXexV
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUwpwXSKDy
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVSsy3shQ
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztB4QeQgVN
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQubR7qXZ3B
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.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCcm1TdrwQ
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJxuy5VX0t
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQtm5rrrIu

Something has changed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gaZsI6En
The inner world of Izuku was different.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqOvv8F9Di
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y76keTRAC
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHNPlBElzt
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHd5kTUJm
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWP8u0PDLT
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZ7o1pSZV
It was too much.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn5wPlsv7N
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYdgAEaDG
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAtTi6bxaG
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqriZ9bPAh1
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBENGFnIJAd
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNOm7faP5L
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzUdeGPM4X
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYR6nMwqYD
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKUpY8KsYk

A/N: I made it!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKTbOmlsQT
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhDkKr4REl
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1UzsOi8RN
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgTFN4llrW
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ln54a6Nc9
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyayBLZPY3
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3xGdmeF5
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97sD5t2bDI
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
