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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyrr4qldaSH
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAaDn6LrmZf8
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA54JKhbdNqW
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUSDzOSwtDY
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAp9O7gD0wcd
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAoH0puCLAtD
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZBohHXhyP6
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAczf5Ts3J96
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9er9cjAob9
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUrugh2xEqR
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAST1Pzdk9Nr
Fubuki: “It did.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAoKMJKwQA4q
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnTRu8DNG3g
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5EGBdzVYl
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJoqCNSAUNQ
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAy9BMx8FmzK
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANArFmIbtj0IB
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2AV9AjwKmh
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?
66Please respect copyright.PENANATcU38ABxQY
It’s too much.
66Please respect copyright.PENANApPNZhkDO0C
The ground lightly shakes.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzlrHMcX4A7
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvIBFYEvJFR
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAr1sf2AbWhy
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
66Please respect copyright.PENANANME7FLZ5cw
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwXh7VMLYzl
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgrb6sNdply
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyqblQyTRWO
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2NNpGBvrW6
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHUUrksrpcA
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqEv5I3QNhq
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANALUqlV4UM2D
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAk2LSP20jAC
Fubuki: “No.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAET8PPA9tib
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA323roohyOy
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdRpeuX5PP8
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAPhqsoG1Dtw
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAePaYFlXSjp
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAO8M72MZOyO
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAaFKXueIFnl
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA01zMBsPT8f
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAA9XKtFbmjm
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z5ViMAzYw
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKUYZ4A8NXY
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA4tXkF3h87L
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwYIQZiH66h
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.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHlxLLPNHUu
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA92IC7omT59
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxy6sZzBs4h
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZpTF5XD1d9
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAl4k7QVSxb8
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2z02i1vGqR
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAoD5yUWzUxn
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA5C2g2yLOxJ
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7mjgKXmeFj
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9dkgzqZbIb
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtaHqMy4zD3
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbaEWB0JFDQ
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtPH3OYyLHM
Something must have happened. Something serious.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAXGZGmj85dj
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEJXvubj0Jt
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwtF5DJbM3i
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3sa6TzNKft
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAr1DLZFNQhN
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAspAenjnJsk
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgOQ3WOsc7s
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJKoulxIAnd
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1lXT1dH6cs
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANALHLaK1ANNs
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAm31MsKDuxt
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbkusnDt9MO
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqq21WQubhN
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANALNBMVaP4Nh
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjXMU0PY32T
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqQKAyvc5cp
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANACO1sNllxne
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…”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAGIlA4grRZ8
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAI7OPRZCbzp
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUewMplTor1
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEtoOpvmmSL
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAixkZD0H3dk
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7gYz9NPnAR
Something she never wanted to see again.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAoBMCrZEKFg
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvIYT4OTORn
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgpmO67bH7N
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvVQDo1XftR
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1t2SHLGxTv
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUQRv4y3obh
66Please respect copyright.PENANA4Db5JPuVIb
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfuzWBjuTj7
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAI2ycLCYjgk
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJv6JhGwiau
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAryh4tm9lNA
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOupH7mLOEg
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAil3p6J15i9
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAsjbDIwxJ98
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZNP1kW3PjN
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkVYqHrfQ3j
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANALJS328SAa7
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyMIyZitnOj
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAA7FSWR3DNL
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1Af3VkkReA
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAeTktMq6XAe
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAk4hjSI9Y5v
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANApIv7KLlhXE
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqyTpTyxbzn
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.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAhLOgqDSm84
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwvN3JdcNa7
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxrzzTBvFzu
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAu7hPt7bocr
66Please respect copyright.PENANAiyIfaqVS6h
Something has changed.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAz200HoMyRR
The inner world of Izuku was different.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAR95zrqA8Ox
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7U5uXNIyoP
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlgRfxpEF7Y
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcMUKPdZiO4
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANApFe7jlZX5s
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVN9G9bp7Ug
It was too much.
66Please respect copyright.PENANALOR3nZh2ZB
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbQPnMWxNAr
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxljGG6a7Nl
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYgf7qPiQDK
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANASBB10zGM2P
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAc0SDKDJs4G
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAO2XJrGypfe
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANATk0FsKAknQ
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAev0rPIgIIq
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

66Please respect copyright.PENANAcD7wOzb7Bz
End of Season 1
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1gZontTJ43
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOYHCQe94X8
A/N: I made it!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyxoS686Gp4
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA4FWG9Ky91C
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANACH8Ssj6QuO
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
66Please respect copyright.PENANANSpfPd7kpj
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnZh6SQu0GJ
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdN0VEKWqQb
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVBlGKfghMq
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.)
66Please respect copyright.PENANADmEy8QxjGh
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAiHjdnvvTKP
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYoOpkaceDa
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
