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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZDO8xIOguf
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAiV4VNimneo
Nezu: “Well everyone, let’s not waste any more time. We must tend to the students and the wounded.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmgv9dpRvoQ
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAXdbdfGi9tB
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFBolFwQCoU
But that doesn’t change how she feels.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA18ijnZxHxP
Tatsumaki: “Give me names.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQGX9pEkRZb
Fubuki: “Don’t know, but it’s dead.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2lHr6SaloK
Tatsumaki: “Dead?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANASRAW6AxBZV
Fubuki: “Quirk beast.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAOQhiFRe0fQ
Tatsumaki: “I see; I hope it suffered.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqOr4aD7BJY
Fubuki: “It did.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJdltZ9gaiW
Tatsumaki: “…Tell me what happened.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANACRk4jBJROe
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkuKPxk0M7h
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA10h9jArqij
Tatsumaki: “How could this happen? This is U.A High School, right? They should be able to protect their students better than this.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKOWEY4DQYL
Fubuki: “… I don’t know. These weren’t just common villains. One of them inventing a psychic disruptor is unprecedented.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAA4FmeuXJJP
Tatsumaki: “And it will only get worse… won’t it?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANATDhfvD3FFZ
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?
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeJwFNlgBcn
It’s too much.
103Please respect copyright.PENANApXgpXcHLZx
The ground lightly shakes.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZvyxahG7Op
Tatsumaki: “If U.A can’t protect them…and with those villains out there… maybe you all don’t need to be-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKRoENhMVWJ
Fubuki: “Tatsumaki!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAu9N90pjgpE
Tatsumaki’s eyes widen at her sister’s outburst, a rare sight indeed.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA4QqXtQUGMB
Fubuki: “Don’t.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANApgmm5Z3IKO
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAEnIKC4J2gl
Fubuki: “Izuku and Kiri will be heroes. I will continue to be one. We can handle this like we did today.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2d5mykXINn
Tatsumaki: “Today, maybe. But are you strong enough for tomorrow?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqxgXBGwzbf
Fubuki: “I-I’m getting stronger.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAwnBiBExigM
Tatsumaki: “Oh? Willing to prove it to me?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANASbUwCFYnJC
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANASmxNqBPdOE
But the bigger part remembers the terrifying power Tatsumaki has displayed before. So she hangs her head down.
103Please respect copyright.PENANACZyssME3ej
Fubuki: “No.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANALUnkQxpj6g
Tatsumaki: “I didn’t think so. Then it’s decided, until I handle this situation, you three will-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKSksyzieK2
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAH6KFajxJOc
Tatsumaki grinds her teeth, almost regretting making that promise. But eventually, she calms down, and the ground settles.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAObWBCKXGi7
Tatsumaki: “Never mind.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAExg03vsCvB
Fubuki: “Big sis?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAf1t4rBS7ot
Tatsumaki: “I… trust this won’t happen again. That you, Izu, and Kiri will get stronger.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAT5hj28JTaV
Fubuki: “Y-Yes, we won’t let you down! Thank you.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdzZ9OtFHql
Tatsumaki: “… Okay.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAbcTV9ieHKW
Barely holding it together, Tatsumaki sighs and flies away. Fubuki watches her fly off with a somber look.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA4iGdvnsxwc
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAWScOyoJFdo
Fubuki: ‘I have to get stronger. I have to. As for Izuku…”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAguG4Po2JJI
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAIivdVvdoTI
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.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZ357WlTM53
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAh7wIyK4pXW
She uses telekinesis to lift Izuku and Kiri before walking up to the other pro heroes.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAgPxaSrHRnz
103Please respect copyright.PENANATFMVhsXtce
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAgdMFGwTuC3
Inko: “Bella, how could you choose Eduardo over James?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFMX4P4Rg8H
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAWgu6JlQnEM
But a knock on the door got her attention. She paused and went to the door.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFAgDAxp6y4
Inko: “I wonder who it is?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAi29GKLYwGr
She opens it to see Tatsumaki with her eyes hidden behind her hair.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnbTlrCgycw
Inko: “Tatsu, what’s-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGpWNHvxTTz
A tight hug and the feeling of tears wetting her shirt. The mother’s eyes widen at this surprise. Tatsumaki rarely cries.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUaBvsAdVGY
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxlxL9WR9gx
Something must have happened. Something serious.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6rCCejAtO4
Inko: “Tatsu, what happened?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGyxj0pZ8BZ
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t know how long I can keep that promise.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVIa7WhmHmP
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAtkEhLqQ8UK
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQa5pB3bAf6
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkTvGMRGAJt
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKosJZJgQhx
Inko: “Come in, tell me what happened.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANASQvhfsKvoT
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAy9wjny6TGG
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeMtQLOuFK0
The world of heroes is tough and unpredictable.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAj6hnOKVNk7
Tatsumaki: “I kept my promise, mom, I didn’t interfere more than necessary. But… it’s so hard to just turn a blind eye.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoF62xsTZ1n
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAuUjwJkcAgJ
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxSEiT8XopK
Inko: “Tatsu… ”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVHtMm27QAn
Tatsumaki: “I… can’t lose them. I couldn’t bear it.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANABi4sA6e8nE
Inko: “Sweetie, you just have to trust them. They can-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAaxmqOA8sRy
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…”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAolRQwVrDJ8
Tears start to form again in her eyes as she imagines the various horrible scenarios.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdrJaCA7mqn
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAysYFH4X5hz
Tatsumaki: “What’s the point of all this power if I can’t protect my family!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAmodmK1P4Ta
Tatsumaki: ‘I’m useless!’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZMRxwSxUXf
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6liPt0l2j6
Something she never wanted to see again.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAR8raGmTAgR
Tatsumaki: “I-I’m sorry. I’ll go.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAACzKMttFCq
Inko: “W-Wait, Tatsu-”
103Please respect copyright.PENANADBXURmE3GA
But it was too late; Tatsumaki quickly flew out of an open window, ignoring her mother’s pleas.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFBVrnbXwaz
In the air, flying over the city, the eldest sibling with the largest burden wipes away her tears.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6G3ny6RBJO
Tatsumaki: ‘If I can’t protect them from the villains, then I’ll just deal with the villains before they can harm them.’
103Please respect copyright.PENANAyQwuuhJK82
103Please respect copyright.PENANAQfGvFkXvtb
Speaking of villains, before Tatsumaki talked with Fubuki, they were at their hangout recovering.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAEM5IGZO2Vj
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkhyHHq4I0w
Tomura: “I can’t believe we failed! We even lost Nomu!”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAqSy8XudPtV
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZF0gDpSnf4
Speak of him and he shall appear; Azrael walks through a mud portal.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAhaciip01Mq
Tomura: “Well? Did you kill All Might?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAyyld4Val5h
Azrael: “No, just said some words and left. I wasn’t stupid enough to engage everyone by myself.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAnODBHJQQPz
Tomura: “You wouldn’t have been alone if we fought together.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANABRgHZjlQlS
Apotheosis: “Why commit ourselves that much to the first battle? Like I said, we’ll be better prepared next time, and we’ll win.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoXzwMF7ODF
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAoakcTZmIhP
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZGWtgI8zCU
All For One: “The Symbol of Revolution.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA1BcnxhKUFF
Apotheosis smiles as he thinks about all the plans he has for the future.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAwDdMdDLb3k
All For One: “The Symbol of Vengeance.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAjS7MUMLnBz
Azrael’s eyes glow with hatred for a society that made him what he is.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkQhsZqquHB
All For One: “The Symbol of Terror.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAUUjs8onk3R
Tomura turns the glass into dust and shakes with anticipation. His quirk and neck itch with the desire to unleash his wrath.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHgYwCxeXcu
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.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAAH4jKNtqYY
Apotheosis: “Really? I have been curious about our mysterious benefactor.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAs1lJtQNGxu
The screen turns off for a moment; the next second, a new picture is revealed. One of a quirk beast with one large eye.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGsSwKwPoj8
???: “Greetings, League of Villains. My name is Gyoro Gyoro, the leader of the Monster Association.”
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zvi2LunBU
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJU31pZ86Wt
Something has changed.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9edJJn2JpX
The inner world of Izuku was different.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3jYCk0dDbL
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAgfFbK9TjrX
Then there was the sky. It was a dull brown, nothing special. That’s if you ignore the two green suns.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAWTK2fCx4HZ
One, the beating heart of infinity, and the other, the shape of a sleeping phoenix.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkZzrS9jKQN
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAPbSRjQjRRN
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAzlzT0R4x0M
It was too much.
103Please respect copyright.PENANARqItGEjecT
It was too hot, and he was too thirsty to properly process this place. He needed help.
103Please respect copyright.PENANACYkRzI9ebJ
Izuku: “Phoenix! Where am I?! What is this place!?”
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMnWgEXjHm3
No answer except a cutting wind that kisses his cheeks. He could have sworn he heard a little girl laugh.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMgFBJ0SbeI
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeZjAsCNhQS
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAW0Rk7zl24X
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAA14mSvPqLA
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANASavPtNwWcb
Her voice, more so. It reverberated through the whole desert.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAhlUFRE8Vme
“Welcome, prince, our green sun, the… singularity.”

End of Season 1
103Please respect copyright.PENANAsPRmVMUvSo
103Please respect copyright.PENANAIPE8OSGeR3
A/N: I made it!
103Please respect copyright.PENANA6UoalXetqh
Thank you so much for reading. This right here is the season 1 finale, and like every anime, breaks must be taken between seasons.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGwsINbdH4t
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAiw6lkgeUi3
After that and more is done, I’ll return to this. I really like this story and don’t want to stop.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAg4n4lc0JAG
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAaXVV3B92br
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2SVOwBZnYh
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAj4LOWkWA5z
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.)
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKQW734dsey
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANAv7nwNU7L5u
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.
103Please respect copyright.PENANADQ02M8GXct
Well, that’s it. See you next time, and once again, thank you so much for reading.
