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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4phN5yN0XH
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAOciv8j0EIL
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANADBklPFrdSK
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJEsX3vnMdF
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAM4JMHGSguB
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAPMoWlsxxTn
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8bVnCj6T4Y
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcHHvIgPF4W
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxxk95yGQkE
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANALpruQsKwiI
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYVPLjTXMpz
Fubuki: “It did.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANArkkq1M5mkd
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvBMUU1h5ta
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAH5Uq4pTMx
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0QuwkDSUM5
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIqnBopyQcA
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAysNU59m2vn
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ax5HZdOk1
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?
116Please respect copyright.PENANAw3IZDhbuw2
It’s too much.
116Please respect copyright.PENANABDX3f7NpyZ
The ground lightly shakes.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6dBcARq8fd
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmFW8AXwwFl
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfRMlbQdlBn
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAA6RsFPcXrG
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAavYPOG1v04
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAX4OmRIUXfz
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1tPoUpUFrg
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAExzh4yKCOn
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1OQRorRat8
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQdxNWoLozj
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5wbM13Zg9t
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZcAIMdYid
Fubuki: “No.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAE0jAUIVei1
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANADFEN5cFv1l
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9VHHPe8U7F
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAthuVJLp8CA
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANARJznXQUby5
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtFGO9iBOfV
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2yaHHljCql
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWeQnJYVexV
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA67L7o7ynpW
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaFwUBRvd2z
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
116Please respect copyright.PENANASaJenqJtIm
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z6mdiNLRQ
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAS2zZ9zy1i6
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.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVN8R1fY7Ih
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfh66BOYzEz
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA3fYicmkMa0
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYrRqhReOYP
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANARZ6qs5HG3V
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8y0zkv7Lcr
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0oLCGYzNNP
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzunvBw2agR
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAgGwJgigVsh
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhl1rfirgCY
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFn2FCB06Mi
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
116Please respect copyright.PENANABVEEJi4600
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtsdyeyfNnk
Something must have happened. Something serious.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJzaXDqHHob
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwRQkfVt3T7
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcifFcnbchU
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjAxRjTyy0f
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwWR3PhvVKe
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAg8kljPm4FI
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Uvi67SIN
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHDQ7zt8XlM
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEOsE3WSW9U
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzpRYFA79dX
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAuJEWM4itJT
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6TPWFA8bpe
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIoGp9Y3Yga
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAy4xk7VtAMy
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIZW8T4bimt
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5NWrSUBr6Y
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAkg7iMQvMXJ
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…”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhW8BeEk0sr
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGNizEQX3iL
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAeeQHVKYYKP
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1xCL7pIaJW
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXVwDZjAxXe
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFmEBWfHZNx
Something she never wanted to see again.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Lh1CETRn
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4l67hT8fwE
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6fzb4BC7pj
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWrgwVOWQTl
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAml2fE0haAI
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANA3sizGpup2l
116Please respect copyright.PENANANx7TYFEcBv
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYyxuKEfdZS
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAinJmsiSRgj
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWcgGMR6I4U
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANACEFxZn0utw
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIZkHEbkaup
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAm9WuvNo5bk
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGz5gXCj7kZ
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAluxreUa8j6
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQa2HYXo45n
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZXFec7Vn7L
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtixpsDw8QZ
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAh2RQmThQGr
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFEIyC7WaCB
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAE1N9j36GCF
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbrLxweNb5A
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAB3EWIOWXZP
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWb92FHRjHh
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjkObmwAFFR
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbTHmnHJLII
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
116Please respect copyright.PENANACEdLWTY60b
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWFfdmM4BBv
116Please respect copyright.PENANAa1p9CyV0pd
Something has changed.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAycIC27X30r
The inner world of Izuku was different.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyyA2FurLvN
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFEVlaNA4fP
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEDlgq5Wmju
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
116Please respect copyright.PENANADEAXq8wX0t
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0a0sBmBERr
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANArkm3yVPZ4g
It was too much.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtus1SbY9ZI
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAubLvhdcZh3
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaBEgun607f
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAO7YGPgj82e
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANATol2vTcT6B
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAv4n21tcYdT
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwuhONbiWwo
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAI1rh8FpFO6
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
116Please respect copyright.PENANARwylrFbg7W
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAD7Wr0MiXud
Phase 3
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJaC0mS4VzY
End of Season 1
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaddFr0f8eB
116Please respect copyright.PENANAW6fMczX5bD
A/N: I made it!
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvkDiCaE1Wm
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAflKN3wm5C7
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3PL5K4LsR
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAa3LapSFVYG
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7f2xX64R8A
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAj3lthhHtxy
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvO8LLAfOn3
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.)
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqpejxDx6YX
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANABHgjfEvozQ
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJ92Zsi1JrZ
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
