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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAi6gDCFhF6J
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2WtLdOlM1p
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4GdZrhMH5Q
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANACLJvzW3SVc
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGKmy8580WI
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmje47JLytf
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfnIUkcLNgj
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlUuBBg6qdF
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANALI1O5igE5h
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJrVs9YENSo
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAk6nb7umkUY
Fubuki: “It did.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAza5x9rYes0
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYSoQhSe24m
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfl23nzOMcV
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5RkorTAixv
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAHOX01Ey05P
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeWVIG0jx5Y
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyOieeUkIOy
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?
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKQYjoHTdvW
It’s too much.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAdwTPxYIPPe
The ground lightly shakes.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6X5r2VgbVu
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA00u0Fmn8Lm
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAC5JpChG8yL
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAFtlklhIvRw
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAcvhJIVJEVk
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoO6Ua3588V
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQPPAS0yNPi
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhTcAkqnnX3
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANALDDTGj4jGs
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAEUEKs2fx19
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQdtXT2jSYK
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ4Y2e9QzJ
Fubuki: “No.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAo67aEvyvOT
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAEXaQaK16uq
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAg5fT8jo5E4
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAx5zTeUTK6M
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAPyoBTEBrfZ
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQGIVua6NIu
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2L0TSJCOKa
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtEwrq3RGgU
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANADNV1faJeMc
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAImzpgY8PBu
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvsobIHFir9
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAuHUo31JKov
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA88qFuXCB9M
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.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAACFVy8gCuN
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8G9DEoeVle
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAW8QfZgPsXg
410Please respect copyright.PENANAm8LkcVCA90
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2cSI2KHHwL
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzRiL1qIhSY
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgoKrnX05Vt
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
410Please respect copyright.PENANALe7chVao13
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4N7rsRy0Wf
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKfOhSo437d
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYDoHOwSsGC
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMxj3w7ygy6
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGsuh9E5qly
Something must have happened. Something serious.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAg6XcWNBVgl
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAiY9H4r3C7A
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANABZpmY2SeuD
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAye7kzFuBGn
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ5J0P9QCf
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8xH74sPJjl
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAp7pD97pAkt
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVYL4wLINXB
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvoRpjnKrpe
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAw1cYkROnAh
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1saJoNoLf
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhUFv87gl4n
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANABbabu3SAhT
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoCSWtE6iqh
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAJIZXOudRC
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6fNFxCQY25
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA75JiaAReSi
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…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYFcO7wvJdK
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGetXqklUF2
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAcAwKPjxinp
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA9eOdccZbGK
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsqfzGWfHQt
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAShuVVGRfNA
Something she never wanted to see again.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAP8r2oiFXuU
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAa6CLBXk1zN
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2VHLr4NCaJ
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAA8r58DmrOF
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
410Please respect copyright.PENANANcZ7lA4kb3
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAo4hbyXDZN
410Please respect copyright.PENANAP5IkUoKMgt
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvohE72dfyz
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANATELNq3Sh7q
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAInt2nz0JkI
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWdrPogs7ic
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlKnqzuJbjd
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAV6ZZqAZoaP
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2S9YYJzO5n
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhw3GJdFnYo
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOKTG8zDnqG
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJRWfpoqYAs
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANArPnkYK6JWt
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsBiWETEIn2
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqhHBQxwnNI
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANANyWx4wsoV9
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkteOrn1iUW
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWZUGCZajEa
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmls9QytkDA
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAENqtdKVTRk
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6HhC6lz7bM
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8LzRSruPeC
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANALdm34cfBr5
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoDV2eDx8Cw
Something has changed.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAL5iWXbkF9t
The inner world of Izuku was different.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAggBg7g5X6h
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsaLoI70g7m
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAE5dFpUNizI
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6vS5WcF9ZF
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ZCIlKah3
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxJOTxGhJPe
It was too much.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgk0xm4up8s
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAApjpyUzxus
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAnAn5I4B12d
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAwDNl07ryMF
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAc5i3ppVpdl
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4stMCN4u8j
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmQC6LqpiYc
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAUflFwSYiZZ
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvjN1w3sckx
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhiqfipUxEA
Phase 3
410Please respect copyright.PENANA04h5CIR91u
End of Season 1
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3mGKJpil01
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeRfP0Of1A7
A/N: I made it!
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6FMsg5Q9B8
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAF49sz7DEYS
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeRrYPedki1
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAffPOC2J6al
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAUHzU6Y0hXp
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8JTvaAcGN
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAHqsuGRUrdd
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.)
410Please respect copyright.PENANAEfbRay6VFq
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAodKJzlimGb
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ctdmv2bz
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
