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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAA1evfpwBh2
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAqzLCA9OEVs
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA69f4FagQPM
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAfjHQrGQ6LL
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAE0XZfEPY8j
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAGYNoijKgcu
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA2TYTfRdzW1
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAsG6Ykzqz39
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAlbQtexIASF
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA2uWqlpBTOi
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAhjbKzJbdp4
Fubuki: “It did.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAun0t3EhLIW
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAjRbHQHB5kL
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAi8AKDIYuYy
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANArBU1RB0zij
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAuYw2WdzRRi
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAHfRJDKoFkW
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANATFjGkBDYTs
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?
65Please respect copyright.PENANAVL2K1afSQs
It’s too much.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAvyxzYVS55E
The ground lightly shakes.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pc3J8CV0N
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAcMyCO41zKB
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA2JRWpjG87g
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgjEDRz7qI8
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA1dtcbMZedM
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAJItbEXiNSV
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAv3HBOQaLRT
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdUUjfcyX
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAcxZeLC00rM
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAUEP5gJNIzf
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAwG8pTrSFEY
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAONq2IuItPi
Fubuki: “No.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAaJhOA175On
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
65Please respect copyright.PENANALaU8ERzL6y
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAdc7eit674A
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA1vpkaZNBrh
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAC1b5GIfzcP
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAFFBRJNO0PP
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAPevIztAwBe
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAC97wtyypbv
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAUrIBXK64gH
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAqRpvDEqXZt
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAf6Xiwbss5k
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAi3awXzuHmk
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAQrM2vso3mN
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.’
65Please respect copyright.PENANAGu2VxFjpDt
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAsKnehMYnne
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAryp5gZlgMG
65Please respect copyright.PENANAdw6Umob7dj
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANALyp2Zm0EQi
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAHxYKeJIMkC
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAza1bmQKs0z
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA5VjBDWDroa
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAabiTr38sMI
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAzqfF2eSmgs
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA5LMwyHmkeQ
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
65Please respect copyright.PENANALJJn9YnAOd
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAGV9vJ21FNB
Something must have happened. Something serious.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA1ci0s0fHmu
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAbr1oX0rWTs
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA5LRP7zO6YX
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAsegWFjt1ug
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAW1BxakfLgx
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANANZriRRcQCG
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgPlZZvttpX
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANALgURP5cH49
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA1pdWwwtOLd
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAAKUJbMdUpo
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA4qL6ciIYim
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANArH1y9JdD8F
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.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANARSmwSNxdqJ
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.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA9PSp9XG6Oc
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAAjCWnnEpjG
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAvCD3mA8Bxw
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAVgfIURpniz
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…”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAYqVGxWMghW
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAMZGcSb3gRq
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.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAesQL4U8R8r
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAZUJB4FJwvz
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
65Please respect copyright.PENANAT61rXAgBgr
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANABNchrntT84
Something she never wanted to see again.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAAynZqVYD7A
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAeZdf8oKKBx
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAhDSdLY90HT
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA4HK8uXQVdL
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAQwRTvC1GOD
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
65Please respect copyright.PENANASBulygzVDG
65Please respect copyright.PENANASG9Z3PIo0r
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAt0CVbAz53H
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAEnTSl5rKvp
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA7ancDXZ0zp
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.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgv7eMXFgR2
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
65Please respect copyright.PENANARMzoUz3h3o
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgWBkiHGleX
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAv0wQfGPCH3
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAk5RuZJBDuG
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAOBgfCFYur4
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAlt6QuKxb7i
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.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANARFbrOenp5s
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAY3jXe34zDP
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAAORwrYBPr2
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA9rMZRffinA
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAah0nm7uLJA
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANA2ful6w8vZ7
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA6seC84XiHC
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.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAs2jqW43Adz
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAm90tIcicBj
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ8JOhGkXX
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
65Please respect copyright.PENANAE3tQh29SZm
65Please respect copyright.PENANAki7oUGiH0e
Something has changed.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgne1mlOv6E
The inner world of Izuku was different.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAk3sn8JVKYC
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5LB4Myyp6
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAHcNmL7C1pj
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAlVsINdf5b6
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAtZGbuRisjK
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAsU8r2yoeT2
It was too much.
65Please respect copyright.PENANALHAx0SNQi4
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
65Please respect copyright.PENANALR4HZJzuCb
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
65Please respect copyright.PENANABtD8IyjoeT
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAgOhrVifYU6
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAmVmYlxYIl4
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAoLVBxDosYB
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAigANDWWMp6
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAkEqZWf3rzx
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAqnIx4B9saG
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

65Please respect copyright.PENANAvexRrTV7gn
End of Season 1
65Please respect copyright.PENANAq5yNVCii4t
65Please respect copyright.PENANA0IehwMsnkr
A/N: I made it!
65Please respect copyright.PENANAwTKJThFxcz
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA7tLa74g5Yk
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAGUJLuvNsY1
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAxuEuYSk0Uq
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAc96rgX0VIE
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANA5gcXl5rzvh
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAVQLREdfMsg
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.)
65Please respect copyright.PENANA1tmWGTtea2
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANAo4rriy7EdX
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.
65Please respect copyright.PENANANdvWFRq1lv
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
