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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx7rEZRLf7T
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWvJj3RXe5x
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmGPHKl55vH
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGxBi4nNNRB
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjYDul5eoY4
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkFcWI02CjT
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvuUwPKlluN
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAqUiKVYcgO9
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAps1GaD9MxF
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnIRp09fY9y
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvGAyJbZLnM
Fubuki: “It did.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4iZw6hEEW2
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGnc5d4VSfI
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANARI4WRhuu4Y
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAykcL2wXMJL
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAABBF6wN3PO
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA9BDbw2VXQ8
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuD4jfVuYhN
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?
135Please respect copyright.PENANANfUlJYtuMa
It’s too much.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJ47k3ryjci
The ground lightly shakes.
135Please respect copyright.PENANApGl8EWqxL3
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAexTnla0JI5
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbWHXnrbOS5
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbXXdFigfML
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANApuanxNmhGk
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbGoS5R19vK
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXmqhUWW8Qg
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYHDZtETvkp
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx73C5OSd97
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQy5FuNBLBw
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAATB6ILMp8E
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
135Please respect copyright.PENANASBwZ6z7Qg8
Fubuki: “No.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7TShmC9NI5
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiqO2kiFHUw
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxgSwWk7TPq
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHTgoPAqUhh
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx7TAhpIdTM
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUEckabquCI
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8byiuNjxNO
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsg0RcuMudO
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJgAgyB62gD
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAw2s8qdBBUe
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWLxG9nQBzh
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAweZYbPycBM
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6dlVTEoC5
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.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeWSZ6TRGV8
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIRQNZP6dNi
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdkV2mSTAtZ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAa0qHkfSDui
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAM9N9mvT4Uh
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAI2G2d3qloj
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAD0tjPKnFLN
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7qhkTE8VWA
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3eMUFUYlOz
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjd0Szki5TF
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANADYJW3071Xe
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
135Please respect copyright.PENANALvuEcyQ28N
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvR7AtcpdTW
Something must have happened. Something serious.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAX3xYpJ24LX
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGo4Wgs80KU
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAahD0ZPfqju
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHpA9hLz1wK
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAoIoo29dvpI
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYRq8LPstqc
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJfI3MgvPUV
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhLcu5Ynoz4
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANATV7IVP24Gf
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAK8f52o8YUz
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx0U75UAEjr
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgFun3a55UY
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWELkcBZkQP
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4i7n332ont
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMkRE9syQqu
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGpzucZZ54X
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxIrnbYlEru
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…”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA30Rq8rwrFI
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXPMvJac8ml
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAm1qGtmm2Iw
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkiqGYr0FiF
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyDtPgOItMy
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAABUSaOeOIv
Something she never wanted to see again.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkwX6SfEkl5
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5LZo5dJuxt
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtGYZDk2DQm
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAaGpKpetIgp
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuPNbrQlyt6
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvN6Z8KjYhX
135Please respect copyright.PENANApFgS4eiBes
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7qfju3dvME
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAB06bPpuiBm
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUEBhqrjKLz
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjNGk65OP1M
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVoK4TAsDaX
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANACtw99T6LoN
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXfxxoazTYw
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAqtdIId5VJU
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAn4iUxUEREw
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6QPWO3xfHn
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANANcL6Z02vnQ
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKSiyciZ4Dy
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdRxumXf0qo
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA817UIA7Qr6
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAshyuq0Oxcd
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7DgbBbnA8B
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAg9NqjouM3o
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANABr25lKszmS
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANANZGm5KQdt5
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
135Please respect copyright.PENANASxkM5joP7W
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbEgWaoKWhA
135Please respect copyright.PENANARhEaMfysvP
Something has changed.
135Please respect copyright.PENANANK3lpFN7Qn
The inner world of Izuku was different.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAANlUOVMD0I
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzrQ4G1IJxW
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcDJ4SOSONx
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2Zee59wMV
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWJJViiA5sR
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQgVBo4HaK0
It was too much.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvtMEIS27fN
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHS4tEcoSDU
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQJVvWJjkvo
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
135Please respect copyright.PENANACSPSxTmKij
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZfPXVhW6eW
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKGU9vij7qi
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPXXlA6h1GP
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAko5i39BgqF
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjQRzE8qIQH
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeFlKvP1EvG
Phase 3
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fhistrjpp
End of Season 1
135Please respect copyright.PENANAK6nmQqPbUf
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIpPTa0snka
A/N: I made it!
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgZdKzeQXud
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdyf3zF1kpU
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYW69ThAu0J
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxxwz6Xd0d3
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKPI479FQDR
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZu1HnXz4WH
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiG3RvmmEyS
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.)
135Please respect copyright.PENANAY3t6NGyCCb
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlGNacmOJZe
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAohMLI9D2Dg
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
