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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ590fLAcJMs
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwMsLOG6mx
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOkVvEHMJA
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU2cObxdb7
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPBykqZK3r
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY8IcjEQ9u
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuBsjdA8gu
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRycgjRRDxb
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o5vgkvRk5
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ws1SJsme
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknDob0Gx3A
Fubuki: “It did.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPbG0kxr4F
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNfPIxhqUp
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeca8j0qhre
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kZM4aLHdU
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmJGmqpuUi
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADrcIZ5Bpm
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD12SeD16B
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?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGmKg7Ph5z
It’s too much.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEtmHWM0TU
The ground lightly shakes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4XNTxoclm
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd3Wtcpibb
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83wbjWg7Tu
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjIiOe6UIo
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pl9iOUfGU
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3fw5wN5F5
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T6ULlPPmJ
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8EmIhLak
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMPf0rKMYZ
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SE0det85N
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g03EPkUAE
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxDhTC2lY
Fubuki: “No.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMicTezsV8
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDzpDLlFUa
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx7tcRvMmF
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1oFbtQPfm
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0navgyzEf
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB3KsR347g
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw09eyVB4y
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqX4k9W9lW
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeiJzmMx9H
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyKgZSimi5
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDGbZ0KuP2
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKgbV7hxFw
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ktZv4Wdz
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.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHgW20RXr
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOq92BHfhd
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMKxO205Ll
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w3hjxUtv0
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6HrwNEct8
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gqpjr0Jve
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJjiqK9OYV
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeg42Lsa3k
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXDdquAQ3s
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeDNoMWIqz
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6acUZcfN2f
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8NIUDElDf
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRZEauEWW
Something must have happened. Something serious.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKdgKXpEsk
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnetvNOcU
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvhJCXiwWO
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvCo5RYBxd
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmE20BsY8y
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgmNDMreFG
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92wh8gEN0M
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcBLNNrwG
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRsIu5RocA
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAb8CIr9eb
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds4a0F0yGD
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3VjLcvRxD
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4YhzeMsz0
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1wqGHuAtV
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM78kKeM3fD
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmSYSjfxck
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhe0cYAXED
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…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DX9MlxLp0
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD6rU8BbXn
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡribJFG68H9
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTMJsmXiJT
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRqPo3FMrM
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloX3x1g3J
Something she never wanted to see again.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsVeK8NxyP
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgGgUtSjdE
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx6iQVBuUp
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcMh0DhWh7
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga7GfJ4qlT
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhzhrAxrWf
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLJeHVZQHp
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN6ufvnVIc
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXKEJUlvIC
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ75rPvFV6
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3wuwqW0O5
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnvFkPN3Xj
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYou2PCrC
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4cv4VyjtT
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AuqH0GwvG
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNofOOK5Bbz
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktLLJ4dJlo
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuxMN0uBzR
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJyAXXKt4P
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuoiVz35cP
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKq1Xwc0r
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxbER0Merh
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXBR4Fuz0N
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGGxjwRw1C
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi24qskkE9O
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQPxSj6D3S
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJqM3xy8S

Something has changed.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo0SuGUBjF
The inner world of Izuku was different.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrrF0YH0F6
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM59wuClqh
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvak7lCOuX
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczLsYCYZk2
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQEckqmgoJ
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8bU1012N8
It was too much.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQgoKrs0I
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEuLnAK7mF
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6JfPC3RzM
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73oCTKIBhb
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY2QGtuyjs
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkoC9aACZJ
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbhy9NqBat
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7tnPVtpca
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxXxBOZsv8
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUQybKy3U9
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL0mPX5Nhp
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD10tMbbu1X
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KXGMsdF92
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhml359Ld3z
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xPYg3fRUj
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmjek4bLA6
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9aXLPOXoV
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
