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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUwqLpW8uce
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsFgkk90049
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFl2wPua200
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIQQtYrLpWa
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKDC9Lwe1vW
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiGeB2TW6yq
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbQEi4ox3T5
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANcAsRIMINV
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANKaDjgL7kz
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAck2XmxYgeD
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABQdmnV4iSc
Fubuki: “It did.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAm3aKNiFbeQ
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzv2QDBsQ1P
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAifBei1aWjb
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFGlkaqKF4p
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAydaJQDTUts
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAadBKri7cWR
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANATQ6IzMBR1H
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?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd53ymfE0lw
It’s too much.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjs4WwN2p31
The ground lightly shakes.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjLQ6WNe0gb
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOcMf3LJIwz
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwzBDZeUOK4
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuYtgRZQJxY
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9oqzICfOmE
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANArhgy6LnUQe
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHg5eR8ypfQ
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoux7lhicfH
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqJxmzHgYsS
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABUTbPXtrSn
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwfqYobUby4
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfAMgofKYMI
Fubuki: “No.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xuf5dEjDc
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAU4MwkLuZcz
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoMxHxFzmnA
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATWE4VFu4xg
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABDfXsfv49E
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEfaObsD7Sr
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABwBcpD6eLz
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3gBYMYWGq
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEipHqqMVbb
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeEE8od257n
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsnAyVk4SWS
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmMTw7hNxwB
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGtdth9rKQ8
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.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuGJ3raxdPE
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALUpDF8S5mx
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1owPz2DBSW
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlOqVSWZ9iq
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2BxdM7k4BV
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKaXsBE531p
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmSUjQhOp6E
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALJMgkvJOCs
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUbsTkbRLkS
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEMp8o7gs5Q
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUUgY8Y86os
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmbi66SiCu8
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAktEb50CHKq
Something must have happened. Something serious.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgd1NS7GlMC
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARTnlwHkvh3
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASd1K4hmLg4
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA57gLvvKd1j
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfjNeYPDiOL
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAF9MuOcXOiR
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7vuldKwPrN
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwsUNJPyGTr
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqUigPADt3N
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXCKjp1zlJ1
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAp9CHisPA1s
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAegwkllTmZC
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARAvNpKYbnf
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWvO2lIkFBZ
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAA6px1j0ER3
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzeCxkNGlBl
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGgJtndhCZY
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…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3b2hOePVcJ
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
111Please respect copyright.PENANASoH9FVjLWV
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYhhlpMZI0M
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPCjXGNZIKA
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5dpT1LYX8B
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANhsLwgwjjm
Something she never wanted to see again.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAv8petStPtW
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr1qro39tKW
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANATMfM9mNQJj
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEhWg0cL0D4
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAagK1e3mWRb
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAed2J869sQz
111Please respect copyright.PENANABgWKONvGxR
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe1UuLUKp9s
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKqcCmcTcA0
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfEHhvG6Kyp
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKoPa7lrMfR
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJsW29kgIm8
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAb85Df1nmPj
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5K52LkUMab
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANATYErYwsDlv
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAISZer1L3ah
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEftiSx0GVv
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWlKx4WOcy2
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfm2hZ5TLzR
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAix63FOLRA
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXgXxNPePu1
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVjVDMScRlA
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZv7ckrXI3Q
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJV9b8360Y9
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9cOeASdmuy
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnRUMEloqgb
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAar18WUWH49
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzbJZ3oNa3S
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxK23hobAUD
Something has changed.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAS9KeO0pqlF
The inner world of Izuku was different.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnXnzjJfoBF
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4KidOzWPro
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
111Please respect copyright.PENANArBAEYfKR2c
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiuiiQns2TE
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGHNuRPTmIA
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1IpQUVa8an
It was too much.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnjGqoWHM80
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
111Please respect copyright.PENANArZDHavfHlh
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjOFWx2KLBd
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA29zoPtsPSO
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAK6NbFjSJmi
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZEy1CNDle
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdvD83XpjM4
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANARgZMrOVCPb
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqFD7Fq5KHm
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

Phase 3
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlSdOv6SLBz
End of Season 1
111Please respect copyright.PENANAairCq2K4C4
111Please respect copyright.PENANACG3wE6UtyE
A/N: I made it!
111Please respect copyright.PENANARi3rN2yFFd
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuRCW082rxx
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADWOJB2Xjsy
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjaEeLgkOAG
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1Ee18vGqI
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHCBf9UktF4
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6VggWvzOXG
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.)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFs3D9H8ygT
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXA9QiZ3nqN
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9U8l8366PU
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
