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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANATm609argA2
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAeQKyVtQE61
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbUGz8Mrucq
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbRfcIBVAXA
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAotHNro1pC8
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAi4H5ieXgfk
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAGyIVO5LZLb
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAAGtnn2IezS
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA9Laoqh6HB9
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAvu6pKDn9eU
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAj5v8wihw64
Fubuki: “It did.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAvZZWf90s6S
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAyVT4AK3xbr
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANApNiUXWuLKg
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAlpen3W1AqO
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAUZh9ayMyDv
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAISuUbsD8N7
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0fypacu1kf
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?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAv2KwWvqi3e
It’s too much.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAql1GDr6H9W
The ground lightly shakes.
187Please respect copyright.PENANABTH3dHqbwX
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4hnmi0smAB
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4V5Pr2r0ch
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4wHUk5iY4y
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAsvW1DImXb5
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbMuHZKc6aq
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJIbNf0lPEi
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAB4vjwmA8mD
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANApN1eJXFOJb
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAxmP10w9Crq
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAr9eRLrwCIw
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA2RqDtbFbUW
Fubuki: “No.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA7NNnVks6fP
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAnHh1rpS7A7
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nsj9oApAU
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4tFeiHDUNt
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA9u1JJneldF
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAIpxShHfdU1
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmVtajc8QUy
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA6xEsud1FDU
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAuqa7ynIEBa
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA2H3oozeoWO
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAiWzAQeGLJI
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0iEI6IcPac
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYrUIChZOQU
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.’
187Please respect copyright.PENANAnytHOE8Msa
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAGiJexTSRSF
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
187Please respect copyright.PENANASuusBoMueQ
187Please respect copyright.PENANAaiVekErElD
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJ44K4OxWpc
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAN0SuMBj6pi
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfltKpUHSnW
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAO24ZiQjNeP
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAoZe9OdNAWM
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5QqBRQdVcE
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAObCJZuTrqm
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAeCy5ehZ7V2
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAkoe0B1cWBW
Something must have happened. Something serious.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAm5wXNzpWdr
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAeiiG9Rebly
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAZg6x2jd7A5
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmNRH1QfgfV
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAc7FTuPIDsa
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJsridM4cZR
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANANCZLLwwueG
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAiF4hBJqEAr
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAKnopdgwiZe
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAVU70CzgVmy
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAnBv8mDRMGt
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAWJB86nKLmE
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.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANADZw9kgfQkE
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.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAZvQnlTtIPu
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAhYOMOaPexO
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA7fA8GFMUL0
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAsE01q3HxVO
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…”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAShvD9LmQln
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
187Please respect copyright.PENANACqnUiMpQtX
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.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA9JqI00MRNC
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAkGliVkaB1J
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
187Please respect copyright.PENANAMHkuYdiPpg
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAQhnb7vhuVq
Something she never wanted to see again.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYkJxXkv5KW
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANADKerqa9ZUP
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAAYWbtBhepJ
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA8RL6GQ5eHE
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xa8JjaAPr
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
187Please respect copyright.PENANAusI8GAUDbG
187Please respect copyright.PENANAabxn0jrdHK
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAFvoaOiqLkJ
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5vb1JZ7AeK
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
187Please respect copyright.PENANATSNaO4ShYC
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.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANANO6P53FIkA
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAKgviArnW4L
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA2ucNT954S1
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAinDnYvsV6z
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0lTK5lNUzU
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAKnJZHCcbIZ
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAr9eyovY1oi
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.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAwQoemThvVQ
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA2GeDKCzNTZ
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAs7lBf1J2pc
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAAKQFTVsPuI
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAerSYXxwmH6
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAAIYOI4NZkW
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAPFAYfjgKS6
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.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA6aGHhOsWoY
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA3NYiot1yza
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAQa2clV44sO
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANALGrzlBxbVv
187Please respect copyright.PENANAcXDLXN2qsO
Something has changed.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAUM1f7neqE6
The inner world of Izuku was different.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAxQWAiqk40J
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA9IenyuyT2t
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJvC4DPtnBE
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
187Please respect copyright.PENANASVLEAtL4kx
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5FBtje12o1
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAqNKu5LOJnE
It was too much.
187Please respect copyright.PENANACaEnfGOkM4
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAzn2nJs1NyL
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANATYPiEOwaGb
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAhEBkKMBMIH
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfZuEfi8sSN
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANABJYkHIDxaJ
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0kQWKRJ28x
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANABLxE43j9AV
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAGlc0fFjzkG
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANARrscy2AghL
Phase 3
187Please respect copyright.PENANAseRSYTrEsH
End of Season 1
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmYdjXdHZQB
187Please respect copyright.PENANAI1bAcpStF4
A/N: I made it!
187Please respect copyright.PENANAIGQamXtgWu
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAI471F1yKEZ
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAzOI3A6TTgg
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAn76hmNIHTF
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAqhWQZn83uR
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJf0x40JscV
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAiTezrbxyO0
Fanfic Adapted: My Green Sun Prince Academia by Darklogic [2019-2021] (I will change how some things work to fit in with the rest of the melting pot.)
187Please respect copyright.PENANA1UGknfccBq
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAHlYsGZMtLz
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.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAoP6Vh3HUUI
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
