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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1DkLcjqCg
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT9sN2Smow
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zAQ4dGRhA
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBtKln3k99
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafnSMaFeXL
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yav7JB1Cq
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7DAWCcY73
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohuqwEojE
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQOVMZl7kS
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8GjfDZYla
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4epUcWi9JR
Fubuki: “It did.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcstvDYfuh
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZjgWwkGVL
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Rv6gJmyH
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzjJoyZTnL
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs17FTbSoA
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSp9T1VvYl
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxsMQTQOQv
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?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3HfCeTPt3
It’s too much.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzxRWUecZT
The ground lightly shakes.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQWV9yNSN
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMT7YOrmv
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65rPCiSe1u
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dEbWHITgs
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ooS49Kkz
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOhfyz2MN
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t2s7i9mlt
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCoi9GSzvT
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTc0wRGpdb
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDldkIwHFNy
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvROUJZ4H4
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqh0pXoad3
Fubuki: “No.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTohjnYS1A
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ792HWN6i6l
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYdhVp0AAY
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsdq3n0a8B
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rbnBQdIS2
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzVvsE20oJ
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY8NDlebBR
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuM7DxcZEA
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqGEKFgZGM
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGfCLE8p8Z
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFXa7Belvw
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCXSFPw6uO
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHvXPWdkD
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.’
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmgkGjmMII
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwT6SEfzqk
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk1ViPRaE8
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg8qtDxgTw
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwcLcUrzB7
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWicJoIUUJ6
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZyVdaZZC7
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6rj7A6c50
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5DvOSx6F
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXWf5ox1bS
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ySsJ6W8oq
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fzHlH1ECR
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnJyJeAgbr
Something must have happened. Something serious.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu5o5YW8wO
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEccvXVxbON
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjeWP9uG9X
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRXN9FcWFu
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNCW6QLJSr
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGMr9npCl3
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkmhtYNUQ8
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6nGkwJ8ly
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbsRZ8fiz6
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvKnG53iDw
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOMMQP6IRf
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4s3l9snHu
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.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oKy1jLrCi
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.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPENZMRVOQy
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLIUgrj0D3
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQDz8fuzgf
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgB6KPX1Kd
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…”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp77YXte7pc
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUFWq9ipX2
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.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU4zWuMumy
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryIPkUcAkH
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQb0l8j0wo
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkudNt7wmco
Something she never wanted to see again.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7uNf51fMt
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkb67ELPCS
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ci8NvSL5q
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtQlCmMlY4
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88G310Qb9m
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqCk5bqTaB
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVU33aXRUb
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq67tTwcw1q
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDKw7xkEmr
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpUzS58ZZ9
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.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ITEKhtckn
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKoWFHcjAn
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BYojfrGMR
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXkG5HSWi
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlWxvcGcWm
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw6loyHzN6
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmykXgAqYV8
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.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD0STTyH9m
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYeuNuprBH
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQNqLD4fSK
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOZljRbPe3
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvAKQMnRvd
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfLuit6K3F
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDScwKo5IH
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.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcyU1Uek6n
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji8IoqFLmz
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDppDCH89m

Something has changed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsvCgWyDFr
The inner world of Izuku was different.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEqnjGyAkq
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNLpvi83YA
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LQ6OSlcyQ
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJB0YbbMb
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyog5jGggkj
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMUsb2ePZ6
It was too much.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKuxHrvTXD
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMqAe3tfxD
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlae9VMXBZ
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcZz8IlDDE
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei9zJptgMs
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYd2ElCxo1
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjqEIMWqSe
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjp8hq7lXV
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsar8egJqA

A/N: I made it!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzlEuMY5dD
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10YUXLLlsW
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZngENz117e
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9eey5skml
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQku9iGJgGt
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbohZPwIvd
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTeLKS3zGQ
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ6tFOdEXV
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
