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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vV7KUxTW5
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalU57wM4Tb
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11clKwcor4
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV12YC140X2
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivnm8ySmdA
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBm1Yl97kw
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgJLoq3qSa
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr7JWtsr7Z
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnqqOJiwgU
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJU7nElDdc
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdXyqbUE5
Fubuki: “It did.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxDY0H9Vai
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof8Yx3Ky0D
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1tnL9LftQ
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh6X86DK5r
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCMZNAc9jf
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0eA7f400Z
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNAceAEGh2
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?
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymkt18samf
It’s too much.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XyIPSRYpz
The ground lightly shakes.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgjV4oTiKa
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EmazBsiJx
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YDLwgaPPA
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefD13x9Kz4
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpU2p3A7qe
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYQIcS4vi
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BSZNq3kLo
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn28TLmjEcx
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmX8NAlbqW
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ6gvoOocV
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQP1qtmXgd
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7nIyhp9s
Fubuki: “No.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YZmtAnpOO
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlFosmG3XN
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrm9Cdlwr1
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqJZKtTc0e
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSOUouES4
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1yWAZSbr
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK7ZFfesLF
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaln5le3Kd2
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5m00KghvO
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZERiCuaSL
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1dlPGHkm7
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcqfy9YACy
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8iIbz8bmD
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.’
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NZEizjvFJ
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7WcvXhwO4
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPHjrTaGEo
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCdKBG8Tve
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41AP2Org6Z
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyTXKEbxD
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiXpDqCElO
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Uggh5YLn
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt9puwnIav
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHof7t7MEo
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnyWzBNEXI
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwiuRprWjL
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCFCdFaQpK
Something must have happened. Something serious.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYudw7aUqH
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7yEuC8Ldf
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXltHBYzbB
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpAyKTOjlP
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfNXNdIdTH
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjsBPq1tQU
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzptbypXmlA
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4CqTFJVGJ
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5nOOH6IgC
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv894nxpzG
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAJLkv7dxa
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0hLqLF4mZ
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoShwZEVZC
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpev7d2ub4
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLxfT1uf4
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyTlqrlVU
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIEHOdvSfg
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…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXFiNWavM0
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFkTEg9cz6
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ9glrdELx
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3bxrnGiIY
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyOS0yPpsV
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsE5iy0umX
Something she never wanted to see again.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKksOI6OwbM
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTKLov36zR
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8JM6bFmhg
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12hDHq3UBB
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4msFC6NA25
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX6ykfQnxI
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTSQx9EFp2
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2GUnhDfsD
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzuvqCbve
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Ua4rJ8F8
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDHfnDTb7d
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZJSfdVG6X
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0UC0arciH
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcISGCpnyzB
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4FFGBR5kV
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIzVduQ205
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KNjjEpshm
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqgnhHEdfb
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Pdk7N5Og
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnDOU16DcO
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8HJnZitD
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCiniHZhw9
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxm7h9pa5K
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQRe6xHcLg
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43H0BBJIrQ
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJTWnD2jv5
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VnJVykjXQ

Something has changed.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1dZPOk0UJ
The inner world of Izuku was different.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURrBHSgtXL
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN24OSFc7ZZ
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIerdI5TwH
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVJsWJMeXJ
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuT2dMPxOo
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF9KDYAUAN
It was too much.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Q4eiKCV7
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiaFAs7yWQ
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zw457rkwb
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHh0HIWPgo
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeLfrMvxWl
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FlQHMvKjP
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff8j4vBLCp
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp5QD1f90a
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnFuvEyVDG
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

A/N: I made it!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwyMsc38sQ
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIRe1vpVd3
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeLqfMnsiM
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2IkkKUTZR
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR3r9tKbJM
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetcYSwqPR0
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrScmbekT6Q
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZhvDgFwCZ
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
