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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyLts0VljZ
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFxKwq4P6m
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTPJk3TP2g
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMhrGgQUe5
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCigPOxPNBF
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsQMa4pkcS
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GEHrwBnUU
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo9Q32cWaS
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII8O1QBFpj
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZQTWMrTK4
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH5MwRekX4
Fubuki: “It did.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5IWzxdjmf
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoUWiLVWa7
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XNw6MnLRE
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreNgEpQH2d
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgsybaEnSB
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaUoUhIwqb
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2zJhPOuS
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?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AFP9SPlKc
It’s too much.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5atKngUW
The ground lightly shakes.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfvwTy2DoH
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04QNUwBeF6
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UNQHYy1f4
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDZcvkhhq0
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj75DEobdr
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ucA7Ti2x
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcyvXHOt0a
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQE0lfDQo
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEercFRKSp
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTGqNRjCX
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJcAZVPPbu
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawvjZoAQQ
Fubuki: “No.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOP7dp0Zdu
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGcyIxnsV6
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot02ZhBJeJ
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lLBtQN9Z
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAgw0XyRMN
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj8ue3DrIq
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2JRPu68jT
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4uijJSI34
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8envsY4N
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwmMi01jHt
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqltuyAz2e
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhqRCvVgTP
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltFaQCNaRS
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.’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns73PevGRf
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24C939Txnp
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy87pyBzNe
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9VCF4IqyK
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW0ADE3s4g
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg00KBLAWxP
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDxR0tCSN3
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPDtHkKrPn
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWewfrJUQC
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTnkiaIYZi
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDTFN6M3KV
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhFz1OQ8D5
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOcsmvdAL8
Something must have happened. Something serious.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGSphaCWTf
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzCAvAUXJY
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpgZZVFmta
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmeBqIPgkW
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vviyFgykZ
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonrYVkaj1r
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdvWJJ8SaX
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TxqFVLtwV
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK56eXt7Ub
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5CY3uACvJ
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMGqq7yTbo
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKiZQ86ab4
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoQX65rHb4
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ429aYd7Dsp
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ5svqkfuM
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCslxFqnWxo
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6GdjD8UKB
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…”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2de4b9lyZ
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvUAc57wg7
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKYBMjy9VB
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlfduTZW3e
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux7MYLjZVJ
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E0WpJXM36
Something she never wanted to see again.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKSfHbFsb6
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGLnVCyzJ8
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbguIrjHnf6
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu1l9zJ5Os
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfvoBcYeC1
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwmRjgXgh6
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnlMZIBw2
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL3t6nBIEb
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnquisziCy
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aITUM9iJm
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OxHNxSR9L
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXaZA0cu5f
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7azlyirZZ
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdX0mWFe05
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfLT9K7EQ
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJlnOQRr29
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2CWw50MlK
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhyTwyG5s9
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt48Z6Bp14B
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwc3adEgRQ
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sF0Hl5ohl
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj32fm0x12
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKRReHnt0
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3xe1V71a4
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bNfNpyzMZ
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJm7MWZXEM
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP9oAjf1Yr

Something has changed.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQqlq1832
The inner world of Izuku was different.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rjaZxfRGn
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMAwuL9AKE
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs0z7zsBuQ
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHjlRPH3b5
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6TLyTMlcH
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CCM9gEEAT
It was too much.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJERPQMxQh
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIFep1kSKf
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN19YvhsW1n
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouW5pEbpCX
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1lksAbGKv
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS1krd1nU1
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetoq3cW0BN
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq2ro3jMxW
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7BJqKOMkC
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmFOBmbnY9
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI1DWnCkga
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT55TCH5mzk
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsXOURaZot
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiRtkylvYo
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIsCkV6Kqa
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31ZTOgPar
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZICxdwrAL
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
