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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEvSZtqiG3
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLKpE94JGw
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadHL3FI7Ll
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt03YkNRxMz
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0yVwu2fiA
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcurelQGTF6
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmmiZ0yMvm
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBUNDhqZNc
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8nyguGYJF
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpw5vyZjgA
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZko2kreLT
Fubuki: “It did.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lxCibtzps
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvFcOV1Dox
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHj9azDRbN
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbimRqn3OqD
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjavpEJCOK
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtcQQk61LZ
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1v1DtgrZ3
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?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ccnt29ql
It’s too much.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5QcyIjSFF
The ground lightly shakes.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNLNtUDpFI
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxbgopGRCL
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSrTxtu7Be
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46wLN1aYWd
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ604oAr3BSz
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJQ0tkHXW
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYssaxjdf7
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORu2tJlQzB
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDyqTLLAxC
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjNhFsaDgH
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt3yUNq0M0
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMqtInN8Dv
Fubuki: “No.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixcdnqqiEo
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7UqUnhrcM
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zIZaB2pRU
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggb21sb2x5
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKYrM36AQH
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KVSlhlSo7
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp4u0TTjA6
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH6xumI2ex
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RGA2NoeOd
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R96vDz5dY
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZEDJ3BIT
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoMOQ2jIEd
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oxILr5HON
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.’
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHTCxdKiXj
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FoTBoa2A6
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcpAhuk8C
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuY7HxJwIR
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxb8fJHpsP
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSek4DNbK2h
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5W6IyQKFs
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc4Q2r8DzA
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz0X5Z6QKX
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa62entOB5Y
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdlsEEWPMy
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFuthE8qIx
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIalf5XkFem
Something must have happened. Something serious.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1nMrmDFf
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02oReekKVU
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXwUeGPBuT
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAM5avl1Jv
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0hif8jaw2
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnMy73Pkd2
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT04ZgqgyF
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXChpQ6MxgE
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEZfeflpa4
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjmDa3dodi
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BlOtNtoMj
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNJh8QmVZ
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kXXZu5Gdn
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATYZwYU5jP
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDECOOdMgpP
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcSSxDUJwR
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpcfHf14M6
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…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnCMUtyI1Q
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13OaFPt5Vy
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHmgmhAzgY
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQAWdWr4UF
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY49DF79Zu
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ey0K99j5F
Something she never wanted to see again.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJoOfxxQJ7
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw27TGEih5
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9gDWNCr6B
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqYfGsMHEb
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeH5zb1MR6
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxocUzx8KK6
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh94KneTkjl
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyBhoiyduA
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTnySdun5
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3czvDTc3WX
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXgw1cbMT
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uZZca6y23
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszk43LC1FZ
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQLieALCQ6
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXSZREjkAZ
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mswNs0YKE
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdXa2zDThf
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdW7JMBc1y
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RllaUpRXa
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn0zfHOKQJ
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2TnaCqeXB
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtZc2xvqhS
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9lmp6o10k
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTe6AUHbeT
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgz1Iektkn
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftf6QuMQJV
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUb73Ve0ZM

Something has changed.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbg3okST2v
The inner world of Izuku was different.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LaleHtw6U
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAsE2ktQgl
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fDY6bWwRu
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx6zXBLHdr
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtntgjO00
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoVHvjrhVh
It was too much.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8CXv69moI
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjHGe0qW2
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxGPsQk95i
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIluHAuoyd
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RLTqLnth5
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYVXJIiFre
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDqSZu4ajr
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOsxwfehk7
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5rH6Sptoo

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaByrHYvJ11
A/N: I made it!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Co6vd2UTv
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8UJzlrdpG
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bjD9aSFCm
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTUNpxOwB2
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEH7xSXmRH
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8P3jiV4Nc
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1bVTWMLZ
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMW0WH1YWD
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
