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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7o8qDY9N3
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsExCe8iin4
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhBhCrivk5
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarEfAJKQN6
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLuX8AviOo
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD74a5CVCHe
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHikwuTWJHL
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKYeGw5YbC
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UPMHT6QtR
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9zlOo8sjA
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGni8ahnwuT
Fubuki: “It did.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpbpqxHEkH
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDssS3Lqtb
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvWpzZi6ye
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyGJ8z9BuK
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSSyX0g36
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzGxWPro78
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY79rOpMiwv
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?
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBuKLqpluE
It’s too much.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5FXzkEfa1
The ground lightly shakes.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iwT4vWmeL
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpytDS17JH
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50nfntivtz
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vk2wYzoPD
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62HEyZJ6qf
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlOCGf4izF
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzohpMmoKGa
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GxSYUQD9R
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69G7qpGPr
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHROPsSCa8
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucDxFM2SYP
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeDJwqj2gm
Fubuki: “No.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o6EFBXOxe
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nIKj82YZ0
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiUsfgyozz
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86IolEjmAR
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitSfhdWDAM
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cb9AMabV4
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaUly9RQCZ
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cQjAcb8GB
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qcUJfVpIU
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxrkj8ssSf
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tjXxXelcF
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhRwv1sub
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQwdh6QGN7
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.’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2wMvXTWFP
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66JYK56Fxz
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1kwzxYMNn
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaztknLONw
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SZbep4QDr
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWEyMjlhHr
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRfYNf0wLT
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwoqMz7B3c
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3EM1rDBEh
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9MLI5lxaY
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCXbqtphQU
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSyIAj3nkj
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKsNEGFv5k
Something must have happened. Something serious.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUvhw7dfi
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JemU55TZy
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXokm8fcVmS
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOCL5AVfKl
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lxUWcE8IL
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qx2Qx1xXC
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyLgXzHq3g
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsjxLiaeaG
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwvk5A5Yn9
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR6PVZvS5s
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLyg44LxtI
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6aUGagava
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.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAcd718fKB
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.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdiXe8iRA9
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff9Udju0Me
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGPIgYKif
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA5mlGzbk6
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…”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqflFsgxP1
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI0dNN6Yui
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.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWDS5uxQQP
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFrDbKUUYh
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0wVg6TmtQ
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNIlc0FO3T
Something she never wanted to see again.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2LN5zQlg0
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTS7mX3KZ3
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡughb3JPIH0
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDTMuJmosg
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv4gxg6vW3
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQNfCXdpyj
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lpI7fPVH
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R74YmnJkY
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtdUqTjEGq
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWEkNzQxpW
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.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7uwsAXPoh
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQMb6uXWp
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fGa5H57jL
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7s6BBwizD
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyE9lpl3aZ
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi9tCvVyMR
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzaVHQMNR
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.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpF2a8ZonB
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPJgxvzn8b
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF06FpCLxwZ
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusG9DxhZsR
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VPBZVHIry
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdsown614d
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIC0D80qzQ
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.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3aT9zojSL
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMLcJRmalh
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QeA47mqg

Something has changed.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrDsGZbWY5
The inner world of Izuku was different.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO9B6x5q3b
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFdF6qjrzp
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2gZfezlwP
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0qEbeU35N
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMZr2a7zud
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmNO8Mw5aQ
It was too much.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22QhqNowFm
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxTuzFaKrg
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXpxpRDQYx
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v94oTDYJ0
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWoDIBJQMd
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5a0ECZl78
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5XNHVILFp
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOazrP0hOB
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuI2cfEdSk

388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQ8Jm82ry
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mioWIZ14p
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTYWbt9Lru
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn3GXWJwV2
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGsNt9i6X5
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgBpDNs0u
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktukSzcGHy
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.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuwVl2yi5B
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
