The creature shot forward and struck me in the gut sending me into another tree as I tried to catch my breath. She seem to teleport in front of me and lifted me by my throat. "The hell is this."

I was looking at the reanimated monster that was White Huntress, her skin pale and covered in red markings, remaining eye now red and black.

"Summer, we need that one alive." I heard Torchwick somewhere behind me.


Chapter 48: The Cursed Hero

I blasted the monster that gripped my throat, she skidded back into a boulder smashing it on impact. "What the fuck did you do?" I was at my limit after all the training I did today, my quirk needed a few seconds between explosions.

Seconds I didn't have.

"This is the Cursed Hero; Black Huntress. Getting the body from the grave was easy enough. It was saving the soul that was the problem." Torchwick walked into my vision along with the other man. "This is the first test of the Grimm Nomu. Impressive handiwork isn't it. Now be a good little Grimm and break the boy down."

Black Huntress landed a punch on the side of my head, I hadn't even seen her move. I spat out the blood as I pushed myself off of the ground. A black Aura flowed around her fists as she grabbed my hair lifting me off my feet. I screamed in pain as I put everything into a massive explosion, my knee tore opne as I was dropped to the ground. 'I have to get out of here.'

I got to my feet and started to run away. This thing can't be killed. I tumbled to the ground to avoid another punch only to be kick in the gut, I coughed up more blood. "Summer that's enough, if you would my friend." Torchwick smiled to his accomplice.

"You truly are a mastermind my dear Roman." I felt a hand touch me and in a flash of blue, I was trapped in a blue sphere.


I slashed at the villain over and over, cutting through muscles that grew without end. "Detroit SAMSH!" Deku landed a massive hit on the side of the villains head knocking out the artificial eye.

"Your quirk makes you stronger, but from the look of your hand, you break your body." He laughed, "YOUR QUIRK IS JUST A WEAKER VERSION OF MY OWN!" he decked the young hero nearly throwing him from the cliff.

"DEKU!" I yelled as the man got past my guard and hit me in the gut, my back blew out in a swirl of sparks, I fell to my knees vomiting up ashy blood.

"That's interesting. So your the third one we were to capture." He grabbed me by my neck. He activated something in his ear. "Got the Maiden. Do you guys have the Reaper and the Bakugo?"

"Let her GOOOO!" Deku Struck the man again forcing him to drop me, the villain stumbled back from the force of the strike.

I stood on my shaky legs, "I have to use it Deku, get Kota out of here now. He's to young to see death."

"Pyrrha you can't be serious, You'll die if you use it." He refused to look at me.

"I said run." I looked at the Villain, my eyes wreathed in green flame, "I hope you die quickly." I snarled as the clouds swirled above us, rain falling slowly but soon drenching the ground. Lightning crashed into the treed and mountain tops, my sternum burned a bright orange, the same place as the arrow that had ended my life. As Deku took a few steps back. I reeled my spear back and with one swift move threw it as Deku ran with Kota. A fork of lightning struck the weapon when it hit the man he fell over in a burning pile of flesh, I took a breath as the power of the Maiden receded back inside me. 'How long do I have left? Days? Weeks?' I fell to my knees while looking at the corpse of the large man.

"May your soul find peace."


I ran Back to the clearing with the rest of the students, the police had arrived. "Kirishima where's Ruby?" Aizawa asked.

"Torchwick took her, we heard explosions in the direction and thought the they had run into Bakugo, but we haven't seen either of them." I gasped out as Kendo and Tetsu caught up.

"HELP! PYRRHA'S AT THE CLIFF!" Deku yelled as he landed with Kota who was crying in his arm, the other was a ugly purple "Their after Pyrrha, Ruby and Bakugo."

"Damn it!" I shoot off with a stone pillar flying through the air in the direction that Deku had come from. I spotted her stumbling along the stone pathway. I landed not too far from her.

"Pyrrha!" I yelled as I ran to her.

"Where is Ruby?" She asked before coughing into her hand, grey blood dripped from her hand, in fact her whole body seemed to be greying even as I looked at her.

"Torchwick got her, I failed. I fucking failed!" I put her arm over my shoulder before stomping on the ground, a oval slab about a foot thick rose under my feet and started to move towards everyone else.

"Where is Bakugo?" She asked.

"I don't know. Wasn't he with you?" I asked.

"I split off to save Kota and Deku, I had to kill the villain. It all happened so fast." She cough some more blood spraying on the stone as she fell to her hands and knees. "I have three days left. Please find her." She fell unconscious and wouldn't wake up.


We all licked our wounds as search and rescue searched for anyone still in the woods, three people were unaccounted for, Ragdoll, Ruby and Bakugo. Tsu and Uraraka had been attacked by a girl with a knife trying to get their blood.

Todoroki, Ojiro, Momo and 1-B's Awase had been attacked by a man in a black full body straight jacket and a green Nomu, Momo and Awase had attacked a tracker to the Nomu when it stopped chasing them.

But aside for the flames we couldn't be sure how many villains had attacked us. It was so well plotted out that even their losses felt like they were planed, one villain dead, two captured.

Those of us that were caught in the poisonous gas or injured by the villains were brought to the nearest hospital. But Pyrrha, she was in a coma, from what Kirishima said, she only has three days to live.

All Might Trusted his Quirk to me, and I still had failed to make a difference, when the Villains had found us.
