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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANABIHQ1BztGv
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfp8gr7vXvS
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEGIVCDpqAh
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYVRqziqnUL
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAC7fFQsyhT7
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA9VWYWePVZe
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3U4FAzsQl4
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANANu7xhy98Ie
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUFt20GGSqv
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqrZtdtCeA8
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAu4vhGdZWXT
Fubuki: “It did.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQUbJsuTDzk
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAI2VA4rrxnl
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3fpcd1Q1BO
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmcWQPTqyDM
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAuEuVNt0nDK
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA084VOjyfCQ
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAapfrCMJfKA
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?
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZyMIwzEFcG
It’s too much.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAowhe7swwEn
The ground lightly shakes.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOiKVszK3Ah
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtxBlCEiNA3
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAckuIDAkoX9
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAyyJRg1ugNG
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAGrkFeow3b5
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA4lecBk4Qgv
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANACOONsdZ8x6
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6XXtaGMQmb
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAir8e0Vty25
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAaZpYM5P3V2
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3DrDkQVycP
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAysiqhhwWPY
Fubuki: “No.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIlmdq8h0GB
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7E6cuqJpEi
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAt0AhZApTcM
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
147Please respect copyright.PENANABYBJF58oPU
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZtu9hm00hY
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAaHQ754D3D1
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANASkHBcJL0xW
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAlgFbvdG5xr
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7kCjmbcrjr
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAVgmsdwcTQi
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfUQMadEKDm
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
147Please respect copyright.PENANArRqpYTgb7z
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Kbp1IOEr
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.’
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoMnGMCiu22
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAK50SIILmH9
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANAI2Dm90a2
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYRSKA6AjVa
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWgPhCgT4i0
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAO3DkvMFIDF
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbPzc3krJK9
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7vrUY7uULt
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqQoNlBJFCQ
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOnE0V0gNJq
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQExuGKAwtN
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
147Please respect copyright.PENANARnilAv4j5g
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOvM5iucmZt
Something must have happened. Something serious.
147Please respect copyright.PENANApf50p1GQ13
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3jdMGg8pDj
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2RZAPWYI37
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAt73LnM4DlE
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA8RXv8lkzDD
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAikSV7ZwBiW
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3El3pFhBGK
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANATbU7xPT2ci
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmMACAFOwyH
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANABNJLqmza2r
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
147Please respect copyright.PENANALvoZNnDiFM
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZeUzk4SW46
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.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJxanlVTU6z
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.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAhC4h1PgEYV
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAY18eVWeVdL
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAyxKnLKvVJc
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQtOC9bcIHE
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…”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmSJ09HHDE1
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQPWxHVIvfU
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.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbFXGZXKBbS
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANArILqz1sAR5
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
147Please respect copyright.PENANAlYRSIqlvqn
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfQgokhSwzn
Something she never wanted to see again.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAc49ql2eHqA
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAcxFKxjX5xk
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoH1FOWpm6B
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbU6ASvVvHz
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPFVXN5uhIw
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqoW323ufyR
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXLddn5rpmv
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAv4Lr9LKpBo
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0bB6yusI5C
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAE6oZL1soBx
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.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfzoJkxyHpe
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA95GFjBrMOY
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAB1fmtqmCmb
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0JMHT2mHKE
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgvBYJkMyPo
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAD4TdiGpVag
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANALnaFDQMyoQ
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.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAeqXCdjD9TF
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAX8v6eodTyG
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAHU5b6O1cb8
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXxBoURenRK
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5thTVteqlu
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAeylXLkZWaS
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmh9UdX96bT
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.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANABKdTd3iY9n
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAplE8rYmrR1
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgt2H9cSuy1
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOD6CGimpe5
147Please respect copyright.PENANAK5A9SkuAcb
Something has changed.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAM1CckU73Tr
The inner world of Izuku was different.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAhGcz6043yu
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoBA2wNzZco
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAaps4y7Nuc6
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAGUrlmPutaO
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAokqQrXFe8N
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANALubbQbFUKu
It was too much.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAlR5mmU5LXW
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAITaYbBx33w
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANARncOdkxWMb
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAwQoAv5oLDa
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANACGgcu9brXu
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7QSS4lpAfs
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkNmldvOoGE
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOGIWPYt3LZ
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAhtBvJdtVtE
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

Phase 3

End of Season 1
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtbaSfKlXvR
147Please respect copyright.PENANALHzIkYKOVZ
A/N: I made it!
147Please respect copyright.PENANAr2EzTwFHMX
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAboYmgn11PG
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAAxYyODFVIi
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANtTQtsJ2Nq
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAhhKLgLFjLZ
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIaXeBljRT4
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAC1Fw90EqSx
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.)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1lui2vSwF
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAeP4ybhYeBK
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZSt39sMqsN
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
