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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6HHtBZb6ii
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ0hTDN4Vl
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ7Uzbaliq
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAns9kogOWHl
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPiCveDZBSo
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAfdUHNQbul0
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAP1w1migwFk
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA4ELvEQyiUD
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFURxquoDiN
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAitGlP8cjLp
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAY9ZOROdVFt
Fubuki: “It did.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAmYa2fbf0uW
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAAljN3wlgGV
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiRdHwnZ7Bx
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANASZ510uX51b
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAGBEih0SmDq
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAif608ZTp9C
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAEOnBlY7WHB
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?
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVtsEHOyWNE
It’s too much.
386Please respect copyright.PENANASGeh06ADeV
The ground lightly shakes.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgJyGLu2ZLb
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6ubYCIrC3m
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA431wPpvaN3
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
386Please respect copyright.PENANADgPHofD865
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAE3nugrbGC9
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAeGqXfpQElV
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAy2sSlGnIkv
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAvuVVh95pNv
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANABp1RNcBtwe
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVyYip6fpHH
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAkHKKT5p14g
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAZQyP2Y0X2l
Fubuki: “No.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA7VUTApqW5o
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYLjeDhQF
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA0xMxjL1L7D
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAhfRSO99GJs
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANALnQkcJBjYM
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAutRbPqqnJ2
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAAXqvN0vsBn
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAQnF22Cw2RP
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANARmkrG8NtpV
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA7D7K7HtoY3
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
386Please respect copyright.PENANADzDG0keXUt
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUyna1BRp3B
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPrpJYJBKtP
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.’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAE0PKLf0LbK
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1a01c7OTM
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAonzyHeHa5D
386Please respect copyright.PENANApGSiBtfiGU
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnvYV1fbDTM
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fp7T1x1YR
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAZp2IIbYFMc
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcpQo3br9xQ
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAW6eafJF06N
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUtjGo31YtD
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXGCZT2lPaB
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAZC3t5J8kJJ
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAzUVsNuzEAJ
Something must have happened. Something serious.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAz28C3yUzFo
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAIwQE6pRm1c
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAt8goJDSjfO
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAzzYMKdA1MQ
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANARlU2haw9KY
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgL2n7vznvF
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANARD2se93Tsf
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANACOLV5iQemZ
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA97cJMkNaK6
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgjySgSIo0W
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAovFSNAZ3w2
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fr7xQWQAj
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUanQzVyJVY
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q8xP74mSj
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAzM56QBM8TE
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAS8XzNqShUi
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAoaz8RVwuHl
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…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAu0PwDqgmCP
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAjlxWu37ujt
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAHTtpgk9ODZ
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAfLQSeNknNU
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlHVVflg5ux
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAsbU68iUFQS
Something she never wanted to see again.
386Please respect copyright.PENANACpB0i8Sf4l
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA3I0wKtKAGk
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAm78KUcRG2C
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAsxOP5SUG3K
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAdcaVBmviYd
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAk3iEu5Yh4I
386Please respect copyright.PENANApcqDEfYw1K
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAbQTv3rTaCo
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVpEfXKROdi
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOvfp1zju6H
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA4lz4AY9t4X
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
386Please respect copyright.PENANARJBgVn0xw8
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAvmWMNn0G8M
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVk1jqz6Pmn
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAWgKK8WbaDF
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAQpuk62XRIE
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAK7ckafWTRV
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANABvRAEtX1H4
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANACA1JJ9UhOY
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuNDTPZr6zQ
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFsvnIhkBrC
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuPwoArhMOT
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAY8rkB2NuPy
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAY0sQAkUqwh
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6mSpw7SX3N
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAykJpSLE5OK
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnVgRLqXtqG
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlUoMCJmzQY
386Please respect copyright.PENANArtysLyG4si
Something has changed.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA4fO6LFQknb
The inner world of Izuku was different.
386Please respect copyright.PENANASHGwsFhHbx
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAeHEs2zU70u
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
386Please respect copyright.PENANACc6TEegV3c
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcqjqkQh9Ol
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6UYk8qTq0I
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiYXgFOozyc
It was too much.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAsFCv5KugKc
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAb2ZLZDqJaJ
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUOAkOBeR4o
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAQJAISaZgEH
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFjS4TmDCRN
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8yoHFirn8
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlGy0c2UUZj
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA5hrnu0jQat
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUfjmzuGuh4
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAp4nTgTpCY5
Phase 3
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUMw4OQEW1b
End of Season 1
386Please respect copyright.PENANA51NpguORWP
386Please respect copyright.PENANAda1L4sq2Ej
A/N: I made it!
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUzuEiex8xI
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
386Please respect copyright.PENANARw9pUnECMj
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqg3kSreg4Y
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAhLyD0kFYn1
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA4g0J3pBqwP
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiryN3TfEAk
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAr3qSVxxOw7
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.)
386Please respect copyright.PENANAWL715Scpmc
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1iLWi9bePS
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAflejn6i7F0
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
