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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAMdMLogukhV
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAFVgd97WEeL
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAk4sHHBRCSs
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYEUkRCaHS0
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAdBLxNGhp58
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAqzh1xMmcjP
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAM9xbyryzO5
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAxXZKOzOwT9
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAFW01tdHob0
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANACglE5Q5BBq
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAqRikSdoUHp
Fubuki: “It did.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwdp8uzjJrS
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAM7dS9gSZ5b
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAdnWhi6NhvM
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAGcxi3OLxWa
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAatsbBki0y7
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAuz9cLICqEB
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAOCSafxza1J
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?
265Please respect copyright.PENANAoCtB0QEoAN
It’s too much.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAvS1luh4Kjx
The ground lightly shakes.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAWgznKsk6Js
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAifnZ6581JC
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAllkxwmqBlL
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAxnB8NEjT9a
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAhHZhb5viLN
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3yOHgfjczw
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcNDPYpYZ4Z
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANABmjB3ZFUUw
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAoRg58PHAn2
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAXOKsOIEQn2
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1tbvtUIjm0
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA0EK7ZY30F3
Fubuki: “No.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAN5iZCatQRZ
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAgoejeXIYgn
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAG810j9ipNa
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAD1WtoWVqIN
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA21XOMzus97
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANALtNQ2ux5u9
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAsSSSWkyFOY
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAhq3tQW87P5
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAH3CmrZxl92
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAWRMW0oNIFH
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAsEw250mG3n
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1oYQTXVe4E
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAVN4UnfIpzs
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.’
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwDH11A36iR
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAzYCVEu6SRd
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA2F9xZvIBNa
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjGOabEc50d
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZc9KYF2XYC
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAdYwz9nRTh1
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjRBpDa2G0m
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAa6xtyBQzwz
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAvq7GvGpAWn
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
265Please respect copyright.PENANALcwYisNxTb
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUW478Kk90m
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQa4QHRwdak
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAOxMfySPLve
Something must have happened. Something serious.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAbhhmqJbzPN
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA6LkmlOefeJ
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYa2jwp9MV8
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAg13MU7yqOl
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAlGLOdBOfBb
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYlXxGfQxCj
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAepORXPNdg6
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA99CrRACMfQ
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAWqd8B45eTf
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAoDDbtNlC7z
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAry9eMG1mC1
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAuLYpFLCcrD
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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAXuu3AZkqX5
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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAPY2uYR52lb
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAmelQkZfJuV
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAD6qactQyL9
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3hini0KzRS
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…”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAP398rqOsty
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAp3wQy2TSYw
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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAqlhOZEY7T1
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAFWYS4PRs7F
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
265Please respect copyright.PENANAL33RDieFEA
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAEWAzGDqTkP
Something she never wanted to see again.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJHnEeKlRj2
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAV1nyPFlcWN
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAxvRjZohx7k
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAnLLgyjDLSU
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAW4XxrXPq06
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
265Please respect copyright.PENANATkCqGoppYY
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcljCEJ5Pcs
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAKCiRkCVltY
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA7BJDtl13q8
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3aEoqlinav
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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAhwd0sddtbP
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAY0vMetLdJb
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkzr4tQfBbl
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA7NhnmBdP47
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAP9JC9klbs0
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANA6lLsNwz27q
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA0qduBm9Wac
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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcr66xJbjLT
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAW3atV8HDm8
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAbdufxzrLx2
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAI5zwMx8XE2
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUQs6feaKGN
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAhkcK6l4muN
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAOEFAO6CR4C
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.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAof0Vz1MBrh
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAijrkkGDHT7
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
265Please respect copyright.PENANARgkdUg3Igj
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcYAVVuHnu2
265Please respect copyright.PENANA8j5X4Hnjf7
Something has changed.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAoppRpYY0HU
The inner world of Izuku was different.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJpR3L82O9z
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAccAs3JikWr
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAyUjWvRWGvF
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQZmNrbTraW
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAzpG1sJPsO4
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA0b3aqe6Mm3
It was too much.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAlVXT4mo45v
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJyCjWxbZiz
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAPsYWvcoSuh
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwiJ3LeOD96
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJGD3ZIy5He
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAvRrIHOUBrh
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYFalv0GQkc
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAKUiPOpW9cU
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjKqrxUZg7d
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYas9eeWqpX
Phase 3
265Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z359yUebv
End of Season 1
265Please respect copyright.PENANA13oh2yoP7m
265Please respect copyright.PENANAazJxkbxM3X
A/N: I made it!
265Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Fvph3ZRq
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z5LYPvV79
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA91gGdJYaVY
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAD0d8HsCs7b
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANADkQWJ5VquJ
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANABm8z9qYiqK
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA9OkKnxEyzh
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.)
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwvia1rsN7Q
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwRmkwQr034
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.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAgosdSKy2dR
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
