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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FjEAYF9Td
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdS3c4OuPX
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7yD2nbUff
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UDF5vHG4Q
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy4svTa2AH
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0W8vyALFF
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLajnXUbW5b
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zh76Axzs9
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtFYVYqXd3
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJN16jSJPV
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWW0NCD8u
Fubuki: “It did.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DNxdZgjb
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEstAYiUag
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0DcfDLegI
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx1RisVhzt
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WuCVRtzTF
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2jUqfGBLj
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQpodbrERL
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?
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcD1IihtI7
It’s too much.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HnTtjmhSX
The ground lightly shakes.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3FnQAkxjE
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFNLmgKvmX
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a11JSuIYN
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3OFmJOBBG
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtkfFw31eI
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9UzMn7klY
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtekxGHLaW5
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1OHpq4KVK
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcthKCUDh0T
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAKJyYKK5e
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSX4jkkWb
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyIAmKdhYu
Fubuki: “No.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqMM0A6zm
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm2OwS4VSm
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZUW9EH3zd
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltf8FO5pIK
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTdZe6aZCu
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBpKQRBtkO
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnXD2CplAa
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZFiduDU5Y
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIk6iqtawl
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOyUce1pPx
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQS94g8Nsb
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LeGQgdF8Q
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G7ShGCToM
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.’
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdptPr01Fh
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK9Ek6lv11
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZLARK5yMi
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnapGds1PM9
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3DQfWXQrx
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqvCv8q1Do
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTLjTN8QKO
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVg6t2fPcO
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGDtCneJJP
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCAzngrdrz
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJlr5qv8mg
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvtKfqWDwP
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZx9NV8U8
Something must have happened. Something serious.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYG4rQywif
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLvOqXRjKH
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSJFlaMIyc
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1W7xUQ3tM
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQOOgdwdfi
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xqwbcfM1u
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX31aFTDSwg
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cTzM3dRPO
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPuA93Luza
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGxibvNKml
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7cUqraL1
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Owgir0Nn
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.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRoJh9uuiP
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.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jTo5Q3Yrc
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYKizKVmdi
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHyabiHVEH
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4TUwgovuK
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…”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuW05bwIKQ
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgLGS1PFmO
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.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcv1XBfn8F
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuVVD2uCmV
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3shsJSEs7B
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde75rkuqPG
Something she never wanted to see again.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Iw3eWK6v
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqqiiSVAQI
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2tEBFZpLo
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI0bffBXUO
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7zh5ndusP
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPfnBoXGsz
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOHF9BzGcy
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3o21yT91s
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnumJ2xSrfX
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkXbmRtAlr
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.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzLwMTXR4
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJcvYUvqP2
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXVc2ttd3
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamj2J9ZKNH
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0t4VS68pB
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IKjMtOyCT
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqmZIhNqE
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.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOToKUsBM4
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BIhgkWWWu
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xB3KQ5SWY
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Jm8J2cdC
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4JmzjqYVn
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c0E9Jry4v
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlziZlvrfh
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.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ21WN2kZ7r
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtujupltSv
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Duz8FUg0

Something has changed.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBTddn4rEN
The inner world of Izuku was different.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIkI97vNo0
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKClAA6zkOK
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLLawkrStC
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5K8YzAAjt
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgACzfFXdek
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSkAOxlvja
It was too much.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAl4irOgEE
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOdJufBeSD
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTCF1r2MMZ
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORLOIpOum
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJxm0Tb1K
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJrp6ViVdG
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL61Jo4Q8jD
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RQ7vlzP0a
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvSMR8XzTe
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwc4vWhbqZ
A/N: I made it!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMswJ1Hshq
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aewDYIsQQ
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldTRtMexBz
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwVABfpx4m
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc0c4TNJ2k
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrhICZb2N8
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhsCqsmX3
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFsQ1vKVII
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
