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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqvB12iNQvc
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAKq6FJ194MR
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANALrCuhFsp2U
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAa1v6DW7eyt
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAjTeer4Q48j
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8r472Aw7v7
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8nfMGQGjHp
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAWWzvYA30w4
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA24739R3NBD
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAPYNw8SfmLG
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2F8wMsxs69
Fubuki: “It did.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAEeSsB1EAJh
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA55z1HUtEva
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAw9NxyjbJTm
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5S5yo8a9Ue
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4MODICVJs
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANADQ31k1zTBT
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z5gY5btZi
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?
389Please respect copyright.PENANA7mzZ1ChmDh
It’s too much.
389Please respect copyright.PENANARODPo5LSzG
The ground lightly shakes.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAiGC6fcPJ4S
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAxvw5iObKba
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYJjP3xqHk6
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAZrpj7yQ7wG
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAbcHAPU3Fdj
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4luskg2Wm6
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAmeervFzRNp
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANADRLNWy6GOW
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYTONABCmpp
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAHzPgGMlRqz
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAUXZadvAgy4
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8M4wRzHvGQ
Fubuki: “No.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAcYvvvmVBen
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
389Please respect copyright.PENANALGweHcZVMf
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAmAUbqT7Aw6
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA3JztbHAS79
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAsjgrceqiTW
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAHdGY4EWJQ4
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANArkaBVCPGFB
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAcivLHkKHld
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANATsIjwgzOrY
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAE0E189Bb9o
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAlEl1aUCrzl
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4nPsMENlYV
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAk8L6cJYZST
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.’
389Please respect copyright.PENANAAxdTJ4Oydw
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAoiIpz97Ek1
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAXiTe0rQpG9
389Please respect copyright.PENANAPVt8mUQUW4
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAAMwbusEQXs
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAa9X6JaiPlu
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANArOylYCFTfM
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAST7pKSod3L
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA3QfgWfsIri
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAc5blIoCZAH
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA7TPfhKwsP0
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAfOMbpVRos5
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAp1im5VViGi
Something must have happened. Something serious.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAfjCBcamFtE
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5vZPhkx1Hl
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4TUvwG5w98
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAwmSyj7xoXP
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ0xdaKVav
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzH3tuIEGz9
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA6ypZVko0Pk
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8PT4SFKg7z
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA866LMDTwQf
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQX50Mwh0
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5KzUt0LtI
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAMECsoU0W7L
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.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAfOLv1ZaE0P
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.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAHuM9KcB1qz
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
389Please respect copyright.PENANATMFomeWkV7
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5gNhUPzxnw
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA02gkURfn8t
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…”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAlVnHTkX3lX
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAmWCTWBZKLc
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.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Jrq4y1qL
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAT0TWhBz2w0
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
389Please respect copyright.PENANAx2SFIXfdvI
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqojRvsdKgH
Something she never wanted to see again.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAyO0D0hctD0
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAwWvtdmhOwx
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqF82AcBUA4
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAMTsKZbJkO9
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAEJMHdd3FII
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
389Please respect copyright.PENANAsujk1QMaVa
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8WoMczosxR
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAT4yvz3Ll9W
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2oesLLNNC3
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAUHLQwCWS3p
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.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA9V8wdaIshQ
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAOK08ypF8BV
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAGO5r8wqxIU
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAJnpCMYN5Fx
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANATqpK8OaAkj
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANATWjGmJiXFc
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAdmfmxBV08n
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.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAaffRJwzuQK
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqG0wibQRme
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAW3UCGK1n45
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYP3t83UesZ
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZyGIXtLLB
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAbnyUaQUKkK
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4sLbLfF5DI
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.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAs6RPbfbpqS
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAO9Ga0MY8lO
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAaBkaas0gsJ
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANA23dpYUJ8ON
389Please respect copyright.PENANASsCaBX90H3
Something has changed.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzxLSd5H5DT
The inner world of Izuku was different.
389Please respect copyright.PENANABTs36gM7bd
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA7AfUMTnXDp
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAKieAqFr7C5
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAwCnlY4mL03
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2ct7qrHXPL
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA3kG36glEDc
It was too much.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAieUlVifnP0
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAoxiBSHx1hb
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
389Please respect copyright.PENANANCeoqMUG4T
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzYSztemPLO
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAsc2RxvLD4I
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAhNEh02rax8
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANACzaJUpNLzf
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAxYXjIR5Gkq
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA36Rtb0evjT
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
389Please respect copyright.PENANAWuXfYxBTFo
Phase 3
389Please respect copyright.PENANAFYsaz2D3It
End of Season 1
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4WYlOD5fIo
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzFoFetD9cv
A/N: I made it!
389Please respect copyright.PENANAOzqxvgVgzQ
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAQJwE2YBIPI
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAIuEJGuPxAc
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAXUJoe3YfXI
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA6IbY7r1pAV
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANAhNrlHPlQV8
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5R3eayewbP
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.)
389Please respect copyright.PENANAGM77xKZ0Et
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANA1BYeCmUmb8
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.
389Please respect copyright.PENANALsEjD2HYBz
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
