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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAU4rBeq1UPN
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAAZehE1BtOl
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAnlZprzZuTI
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAsb153svpMh
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAOf9pyc6cZR
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAYo3qLnE099
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzxK5DPbJxV
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAq05l8wOpTQ
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAI6NbjaJFBe
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzrcibneEAu
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAS89jXmWQup
Fubuki: “It did.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAl7YqGmPBeH
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAXGhqpKmSZ4
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAE8eCVq6FHP
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAWGmnVrCYxb
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlr3dDs4Utn
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAINN9eYbvYx
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAcs5CyR8rFB
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?
385Please respect copyright.PENANAmZy8xlZ1U7
It’s too much.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAfX4ZiCvi1A
The ground lightly shakes.
385Please respect copyright.PENANArFdydrqYHa
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA8uo16KA0T3
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAcuRmACeBhh
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAoLCfCKonCM
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uq3lY47aA
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAdFzxiQw0of
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAVwzQ9Fif9i
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ4N7NW3M4
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAtzF3lwZmDd
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAMukFwAaftz
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAyWitzLiZDL
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
385Please respect copyright.PENANArQZS2Ep5qM
Fubuki: “No.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAPifASp7zCW
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlrRAIddaoI
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAN5EDHWhNwU
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAFMxHDqHO1U
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAjeAVvBzYJ7
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA589ypNUNi1
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAviMNmsSULl
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAo7u0aKDhYR
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAmZnPzPjRvr
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAh0F4GTgewn
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAdho8dsOpqn
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAeYayUjr9Nd
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANADGTPr5k9Ym
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.’
385Please respect copyright.PENANAJcmKSC9U9d
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ErpAk8Kb
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
385Please respect copyright.PENANArcamsy8fb0
385Please respect copyright.PENANAtBWnjUxBO7
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA9n8Did4EjF
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA1gD0gCDIwt
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAU5HvM3ThxO
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAKDhtNJ6qrs
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzgn3tDRFPN
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAnfzaYnKDRt
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAY0uM67IglL
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAfxl5iruS3G
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAUIqZcUxfZ5
Something must have happened. Something serious.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAmqfBqaNBkc
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAU1ucEM7qbc
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAmE0xVq3VvW
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAdjkgh9nWmx
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAGtRf9L6aTb
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAq72R0DoH1e
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAJEgHb3enp5
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAkCCIWmqQyu
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA9uJXWmIsIR
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA4oqfd3GB6D
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAQOOmrwlv7w
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAwJx8BEvPdD
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.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAbHdca5OnKY
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.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAsfsTkZc5RQ
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAPjOQ4VAhdq
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAo2iPFgTi4W
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAC5rCPP3zCF
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…”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAH26Rtshjzc
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6L6Vo63vq
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.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAxvHvHayFu0
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
385Please respect copyright.PENANARORQ8CMcVQ
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
385Please respect copyright.PENANAFg86mIHClm
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAj7wRHTowLj
Something she never wanted to see again.
385Please respect copyright.PENANApWHqoge25m
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAYlUTuQAIkR
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAu3boRzTQZt
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
385Please respect copyright.PENANArvKCckhhde
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAhVki79TrTv
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
385Please respect copyright.PENANAt8lPk1HAKk
385Please respect copyright.PENANAQDvYVsBL9v
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA4EDjezzgBY
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAH72Yb3A5lU
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA55lp3YTDtn
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.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA0iQhtanh9q
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAMSEPRy5LZm
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzuk6RlRRdn
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA3AfoGXIdzw
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAYR4dYKwzdw
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA5iyw1U6M4T
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAfI7J0BR6Gw
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.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAqIeeOvmkcC
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA8oAE1c5Snk
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAWmO33O4Xyp
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA7gq0lAHqH8
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAAffIbgDjzp
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAl5QdmzFMhN
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA0caNQ0pq2c
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.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANA0WWR5cvApW
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAgCCogSWIeO
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
385Please respect copyright.PENANApyINKpMaa8
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANASc37MCzn9G
385Please respect copyright.PENANAdsVWRpLQdf
Something has changed.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA1BGvOSTI5w
The inner world of Izuku was different.
385Please respect copyright.PENANACmM8gPzNYp
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAZLidKB8WhS
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z1Ny5OCQa
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAz8PrEuONnf
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANApnRYD0fJeg
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlstzx6OVXK
It was too much.
385Please respect copyright.PENANArn6UGIIgDv
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAbGTcqvJx9g
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAEfeIG4QhMo
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAjvJCU1zL5C
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAQfIepOqAhQ
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAl75lkF4szo
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAGxBY1NN1JQ
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAhPetFB7jR7
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA9syNdV4xFD
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
385Please respect copyright.PENANAUnfq81S6RO
Phase 3
385Please respect copyright.PENANAT7YaAfBZE4
End of Season 1
385Please respect copyright.PENANAS6NlyRAnmE
385Please respect copyright.PENANAdJRSZ8rypn
A/N: I made it!
385Please respect copyright.PENANA2yhANGM3Eq
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAWbVjp2nxEC
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAeUnlMoIJaF
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
385Please respect copyright.PENANABtEBJYly2u
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAifwPpijtjW
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA6HBx0HLO6S
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZG0PNi0Gy
Fanfic Adapted: My Green Sun Prince Academia by Darklogic [2019-2021] (I will change how some things work to fit in with the rest of the melting pot.)
385Please respect copyright.PENANAtI0GBuLvNp
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAythW7xUsAg
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.
385Please respect copyright.PENANAidZ0NgLL5n
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
