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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GckFnDtu8
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn5CyKMD5Z
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jIChJXGS9
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlwuf3xOmQ
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDvgpJBwnH
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiPxfsAgZR
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1nVloVJwZ
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjoEqp6pWl
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JJQMi7Mi
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SDWMeHBCF
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE4918heyV
Fubuki: “It did.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr3KJRN3cT
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahYRZUwCfz
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUh3LKXxSt
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwXSP2AzMG
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgFNmmd1XL
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKjcrSsns
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4rWLCcVcN
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?
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC1vSh9eOk
It’s too much.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0dZe1nNQy
The ground lightly shakes.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA46c0qTNp
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kWMOaOc2G
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT71yUyagoD
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVGy7ESwPj
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoEgFXbckp
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cz2Nunj4P
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvJAnfnT3T
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nC2Uy2xak
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8SJnj2Cay
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeVsNkKeDe
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1M8vriLPQ
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuZy0XTuiG
Fubuki: “No.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ewLtN6U55
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYInfF6d5s
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9QNCeKAY
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5fqwCs0ez
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNiKvWcPVC
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrVQC3JI7w
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3QA7m9Uel
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P2c12iEgC
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A0SdE1T2O
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFJvIekIEj
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbMP1jTKq
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0k0qS88HV
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvaTRL3SIl
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.’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbmF3ziwkt
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUspAagkGw
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlscRaDhZC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EOzbLucCw
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoY0oZuikm
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMyTS0RdrM
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZWh3CKMFH
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwCuvaaOQw
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sF1WBvutq
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFBnHWnfe0
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83CJxsMnfD
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpADlpkMLLr
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0ajY7vUF
Something must have happened. Something serious.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVOjg1133c
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1yuXYfZiC
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStL2pc0Edy
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqk8F4TqtP
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp8PP2QGfO
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoEkwCJF2N
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYsdT1fw39
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaiKbeX7Ds
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOh0AuSstA
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTGTEgOB6E
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFTaun2uBC
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NjN5GTavg
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IzlGI797M
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqDilQ9lI
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRfAfsWPeC
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pjyyayWcy
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJNRzqqMOj
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…”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuiYa7Mp0L
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGqvSFpdt
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4FX1Fd6O
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXNymM3kN7
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrGbfYh3Gx
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N2V2bxBAe
Something she never wanted to see again.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoOB4CXrZ2
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySzUsB3B11
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaYCvihKNK
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvvisDrpHJ
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D5m6Zm4bp
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3qS8qTAvq
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvh4dyBdjI
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaAataKuII
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO5X88LNGk
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym7AGDJvQJ
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9goEtLZDvQ
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8s3Lk2JLh
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbgrrXl0ja
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgnS3K1QMp
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsMI1I3KmR
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xKVac8TN
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTRznLAajN
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5cRQP2JOi
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPvnQsUKb5
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbvPc15q3m
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqi8IBquTJ
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwd3A7dgh1
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWL4q9TXzU
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtFBuEl0cl
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyu5TAwHIE
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UT7BMXPoS
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo5vOAbHv7

Something has changed.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwv1XjK9SN
The inner world of Izuku was different.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkVCsNZGT
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqFNQs6XLG
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq63piaPGf
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLueDPODdBJ
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5hUyTVRBa
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSplXHMRyRi
It was too much.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyZvgcFnPK
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4DBNMjsm5
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3kIGLTUrH
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGegDKQAaL
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwJTRh3loi
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkxT0s8uP7
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwSuQH0YIa
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yaz5H7zZf
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDH4ZXimi
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVUz2xDJwq
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lp12yhzfA
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj070SJ4cIO
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRMEKd7C0A
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDh0YOMcZj
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuQkbfOSQO
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.

210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qChIxN3NL
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgkt6EA1al
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGymbmL5CmC
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
