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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fFICaypOz
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbvMTzitC
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0stici3Ocw
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BaqlA0H9y
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVsVbq0Uas
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7lAcrRYxD
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RQFTKJZx
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuyUxuMSit
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6FzLNXRlE
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tikshBTpH
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx2Q9zbRWo
Fubuki: “It did.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieAWaYjXYQ
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsto30yms77
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQXL4o9DDo
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ROyI2Irk
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwWhumxrEF
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcWh2dFh8a
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pORv1Dfem
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?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0WUQHEjQL
It’s too much.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2SJXmMoz0
The ground lightly shakes.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsasGXhqMU
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71eDA4KvJW
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuWSxtRq1M
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzDNJLH5Vh
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgefbBOUBl
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY460289W3H
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy0w8TClBE
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCxsb5ld5h
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpCb4sU9u3
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgpqboAcU5
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UAciwJkdY
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYI2m7Y1XL
Fubuki: “No.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1r4bC7KSL
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61m7sxRuZ8
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4XSyLnaE0
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkiO9m9j4C
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hVsmjaqgH
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HUvDgdpe
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAVBpk27z7
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPlHXLqN0L
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHPXDtTBcJ
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwyLftKd3a
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe026BKNWio
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fIynzC1Fi
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyNvXwi65c
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.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jPUuxFjPL
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzKblrbKf
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhseVKySgP
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKaLRw0S5s
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl8wnXMVI2
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgvwpmXNLe
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH8k1qzGv2
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFzB98wgx1
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKHMKsqJ9u
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFE6KCvMu4
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf62cNxbcS
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww2V2C5K56
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMiuGWLgG
Something must have happened. Something serious.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0p5RhXKsF
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiSHFeRdST
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkUlZtI07H
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1Br2U388
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwul8Iu73yR
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8h4kLVNXL
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdqaCC21jC
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10IH9u35i
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxVIf8m3cP
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCerv41ePGT
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VEClQtuLs
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8WSCvWp0g
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G9ooUjMcV
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eAVGY3EfM
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02CFMUHpry
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2MZFp5RRA
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qlgwyjPgb
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…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WOnnNViLD
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lGr6gsAVy
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaS2ihNw5X
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus3L3LcZC1
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETGuS7WKBd
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofAf7mrDkX
Something she never wanted to see again.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTv0SJgUwn
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFDJHKAfZ2
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAgnY3T6Hj
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sIgMqaXNt
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUdT37Nx5
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBi98epaj
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDFBE2PaE7
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAuNGM0TNr
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjayRMUNXiO
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tQvGJ6A1
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHlA5niVHI
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueOpa0KnrU
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrglMY0rfT
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrdGk2SLk5
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrhVpscDAj
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZL0mRfzzt
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LfrtOZQuc
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4IPCcSAtr
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlLYQHwVab
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzhZ0loCVN
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0C79fgkdS
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ41mzqTli
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Y7J6eSXa
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4kl2Aj9wa
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuHhFiDhGT
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7mXcK1wBy
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY4BE5zD9t

Something has changed.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3TebnWhq
The inner world of Izuku was different.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBsYUMiYz7
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EAH1tpVXD
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ENbvT6zW7
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhj7ueDXcD
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWHhJFO6D8
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1XmHHBPYM
It was too much.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiN7cU7tFA
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yfB3b6RTa
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBi1KcZmzB
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeaC39w9N6
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyTx7oAWj
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecTDUZrZhT
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGQuA0AOK
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK0vAYGw6X
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ywloWtuw

A/N: I made it!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkIb8WZrbv
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr8wccW0cS
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjbAxeKCio
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRQUc0CFj
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukLRYs42CW
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyR8GE4k8J
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvNOk69Eas
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E6GqW5ICO
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
