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

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.”

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.

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.
