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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRmcfhOjWN
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoM6ZIgHwP
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBRPSvDatc
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8sXpSIB2H
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9XITqg3Hl
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oTJtZ1goo
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcuBl1bB49
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelzf6XLwZg
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpxrZZgz7
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG9sgxnqLf
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsih9RwoDj4
Fubuki: “It did.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ynjEyzowt
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dzAJAuDoG
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWLj4qQDh2
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkapr10ZcK
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSLeVMe68F
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYjq10fpfL
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF5zkGemQp
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?
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqwDRm73eC
It’s too much.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RTn6wmBpe
The ground lightly shakes.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLWmWiBVw2
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiFKDi1Ma7
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdd0tsIu17
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3pIiNz3gn
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOg57yjO5f
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvJTsNlYBq
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5p97Ne5n0
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmX8zX2Of4
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiabksddIl
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz2TM8hvj2
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DCtUMo89U
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDTlcMBBk1
Fubuki: “No.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ansuqglR8
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmjqV7Es53
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuSNMYUg2x
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYnHPrCWhR
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z7TzaIBk2
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlIViqBZPd
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpS9F1Elmg
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zUs8C2vYz
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfhrQsiQqR
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC2JxDrrJo
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXnbvmZgDJ
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOjuEzSXDe
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfbWqM6eoG
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.’
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaTjbDFUVJ
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXx42Tqod
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5RIeP1zEK
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP97wjkFPN
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERvg04JLS3
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49zKvUVV7X
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6skDPgIJAf
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtSBPWAZTh
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uPIvZiPEw
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg4e4mSbKS
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTOPHcuGaz
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRX8ZTJ0Fu
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEgwCeYtBq
Something must have happened. Something serious.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26M9L5lWfv
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhMcoXvqQd
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRvWqsHFTs
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV56gSP7wbR
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCVN6L50mn
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhOvqKuW67
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxC0L0Tpn
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2574iJzux
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y0IiRy901
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFi2PE8MKr
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqWtOji7Ec
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1npVtC5IL
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.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjuhZSNAN2
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.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhBsimxdoJ
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAej8gmxMbc
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WTzRWTM9z
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDTIyTLywQ
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…”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0PoTktao
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzvzf194zx
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.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jmridxZnq
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Vua6UwrI
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ3bakjy3F
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgiPzLok65
Something she never wanted to see again.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj5dhNGjuq
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw23HcN5MX
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtg8t1NDIC
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5jAfrZpxi
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLeGomzdY
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAlvU14w4c
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hKi4FnEp
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS43JxkVC76
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96CbaHFGGR
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCjh6mwUrb
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.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK7IXk4mNr
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy8LI1ant7
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrG9UsVkeq
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y3RfT1VSn
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvqUsATj4t
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlfi6HEVta
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtoJtkSiV7
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.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCg4bMKjWE
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJv6OllhRE
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLmbTqUXSP
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdZ3OZjN5m
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo10v13cjb
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfri6dHY1Y
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyR1dEcHMj
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.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMHS7ovn9m
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pVP3TOdT
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJMY0hWE9s

Something has changed.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJGFh2o16t
The inner world of Izuku was different.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wm5SPSrPN
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhyrPYyKA1
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuL3AiL4G1
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFEtTP09n
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vyAvzWWli
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLPKlyu4PC
It was too much.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM4pT8VWxr
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypD3MFQ7Hj
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOSMkmdcJw
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4FrSkyq9Q
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeQA10K3Jt
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sPuof6nPZ
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSvzGftwHJ
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEhlyCh6lw
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LEvMAfDVi
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSgvQQaUBY
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2L3qnRnCU
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MdyZH5K6o
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2STdZNViS
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjXqpBtykd
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PIrwDOhDF
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xd8dCZzJ4
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmmE2dsCoz
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
