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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYf4pq6Gs2
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbzJiX3KPH
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eVWl0zVgB
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzL9IuLdqm
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKIL0yLvvn
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnrxGAuvM
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QqX2DcSuz
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQEfceBQJ
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrquR4uAxh
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzntcpOClJo
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXgaZ3klBs
Fubuki: “It did.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9qpFZDPtu
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNynjgkMxBr
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVocya20YDw
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoYRU6bC1r
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3CaeFv7yP
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtlqZ0kUdO
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZUiTf6g5w
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?
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbhzPV1yI1
It’s too much.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL3agGqNjV
The ground lightly shakes.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQteVo6Yhf
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ0DiMnwdO
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSz6RSpVkZ
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXg5RdOBP
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2GFxLJ3Br
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvmuHfXNW2
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPk5gUs2B8
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcXKXcGvE
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf92CGGEtWu
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpxGQtRqKv
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrosiDm6k
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQ6NiYyKc
Fubuki: “No.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8wkOOxgQT
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdMOjtHrBt
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZPTA5im6J
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3WkDlI22o
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSmGVZd53
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2OtvqFOz4
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0TTT98rHo
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiUAop8jC
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb2QgSaC4K
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS2iudt0KB
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBY1jF9fd
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQHZmhtdt5
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJNIAgXrhO
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.’
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVtFu5bL3w
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ9J0q3w60
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLHZnlad5G
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjnntdYPO3
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOq7GYorj4
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbZSYSLXVd
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOisnLhXn7
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NSbnQcSQs
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozH71QWNMY
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe32r4rkNln
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YKL3QgLUk
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh4dmglZg7
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NsTb46XPY
Something must have happened. Something serious.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItPEsVplD2
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oxGkGDihw
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ThtGu6k2
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2d8jI7fz
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI9WPCMKhB
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02nlxD8BV
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtm9nejB89
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa8IoHSjPK
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tp2Gi5fOz
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEMUOexDyV
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybcVixqecZ
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4te6dxs9zA
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInFPNPKhx8
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89kfFXXO23
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBXO69FwvO
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRajxMK5uJR
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP54HIzjAU
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…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRJbznBAvv
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGSVSS64Aw
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJWBc3j33p
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfqFylxqsL
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO8BGJBhua
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARaQYofkP
Something she never wanted to see again.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGKSJKtT6G
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXCQHgxyin
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfyFUUJDVr
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7dVRQNUol
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSYO4i7VFI
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG57GVPrHM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHg7brmMO
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6GOLgJnz2
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XMN3D8olv
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ubx5CBkx
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEZXpxGKYm
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs16OSnMbR6
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq6sEoC3k0
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPdI0CC4t2
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3kwQLxFc
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfpXYFdweP
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WJK5QEEQn
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF9x9qpmyr
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp2aJLGDle
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA29llA3tM
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3QSFr8fKw
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg97uT1TMm
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYsd1K060M
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsyNU9O6kq
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uVaBnhxwT
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6vvQdaQsz
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8VkUZxIzV

Something has changed.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43R1VLlD8T
The inner world of Izuku was different.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4aR87JLHa
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHHWeYlc1L
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcHMa0lwPa
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z5NSKhIt5
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKElvNYUfat
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWRCUgsKIu
It was too much.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYDDbyBzmV
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKHZ51fUXp
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPGlqRI9dE
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy6KkaZNB4
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhUA4hMchP
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBECVRPuHO
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ftXlCW3h
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHENbJZ3ON
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT1D4gC7D9

A/N: I made it!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvAj84cib4
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgoJRRQNt3
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKzubQKZIR
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZq9NfQ2o
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWZUaUaciC
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbFH8a7fGx
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRbkJUDYsW
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmb20d2kIy
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
