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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIHxJ7tKeL
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXWdRKSjky
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKQQrfmmK
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzl2TP7yfW
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BCjLCfbFO
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BscXUggou
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqtmmwzjGd
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPbOSu274Q
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra1HaWo6hL
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD4hPHxx0v
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQvBGnT5ge
Fubuki: “It did.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcktEWCmLA9
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVWGBa66F5
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75SCDI7wy
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BWX1KRk3p
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcb8ow0NAd
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnSSQiAYin
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGQa5LRIxu
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?
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl0pdAyCdU
It’s too much.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCQlJjlIKU
The ground lightly shakes.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OA4DhThEc
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQfjQYWIj0
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkcmkK4u0B
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoA1qHfkrl
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAlYUy6Rtn
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lAJNm9X5r
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcPmVm405x
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbHEt81rm0
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAF2rcFsef
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6l0IoFeG9
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ677T5Pis3B
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmckn64zrm
Fubuki: “No.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9sYBkgghQ
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jNN28HPPM
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6ls22SqtL
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VvqBozR4d
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz7o1mJAMb
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRAhGQ0Va
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrDmIPOlT1
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFcgof4B95
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzHijYL0S8
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5XvftlVHS
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyKTTptoXi
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yIyZBgkB5
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Hpz2zRKE
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.’
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT2ED3b8dK
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT7Wmz1H03
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDMZOQt7u
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSF4lKh4gq
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqt4UyCYgy
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo5eoB10ij
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsNtPa850O
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTCyGmYFBC
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSV78Bt45N
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7smH6K1r0x
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVaJjBF7HH
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIo2on4soi
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TxrUECs8
Something must have happened. Something serious.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquJX8wOjZo
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZso28fsl
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCal4GiTp0
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zFkZGuzUB
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjuGZlKwtm
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAPG4h7Ztn
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiaFWIAeLV
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHyFF6DMuK
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvVK9OSb1Z
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLngip77rZ6
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMVZbiv1FM
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl7g0U470h
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqAs0b9CdP
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlamMYM1Bij
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ6uPWueaX
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNCZn406hJ
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3fICdmi2f
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…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7mZjOahgM
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr378gM3Vd
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywuOqG1WIt
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskzKEIJTmR
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxLHRJMvM
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3NZbMbQrH
Something she never wanted to see again.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOIeTWG9y1
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqAJMrlBWL
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxPpX4l52t
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWybX4Mzjj
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMj8HDXI7o
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwlj2ujtqb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rz4rPH2he
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EcuItDChI
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9p4FMM8bv
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAgxZMJXQU
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rLAEXqAoB
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtleVNS79oZ
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwWw05aBu
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWEkSp7wRh
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9gyxJvfqb
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDBtQyLR6o
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kf7WUiQq6
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyZle8aGym
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPWlL3prsT
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4KyVFl3X2
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKosWPzE9a
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbdGNUIJEV
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5qvUZ0lF
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDG5XC3X0f
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM53cT12Kw8
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPdDag4T0e
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJt7NDnXO7

Something has changed.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cqe3Eb4c9
The inner world of Izuku was different.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrsMvehvxG
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCp9HPfmQ7
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVd1hB5wlQ
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZmAMj0WgC
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7KHZKQeKS
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGw9ss4Pys
It was too much.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGbGdSelPf
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRjCURjJKg
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dbn6PS5tv
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsNxqTkAbk
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A7PGltuUJ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hjdUDrwdB
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevRyBvHn09
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPYq2oVLmP
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk7RYELFLc

A/N: I made it!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv5TlihRXu
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjItmKsIKUU
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1Hqmoj59
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i13JFtlfo
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGpcetIkSN
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTq9yZ8QaD
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGxKGXTTRS
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdSaqX3y80
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
