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.
Chapter 49: The Truth
I hit the ground with a grunt. I had completely worn out my body and aura trying to escape whatever it was that I was captured. As I got to my feet someone grabbed me. "Ruby Rose." I was forced to turned to a man in a black suit, and a black helmet that covered his head completely. "Daughter of Summer Rose and Taiyang Xiao Long. It's so nice to meet you finally."
"What do you want with me?" I growled as I fought against the iron grip on my wrists.
"Well I don't get much time to speak with the younger generation often, My name Is All For One." He held out a hand in greeting, but for various reasons I didn't take it.
"I really should make time for family more often, when your mother was brought to me we had so many lovely talks." I was forced to look in a corner and I stared at the impossible. "She's little more then a tool right now, but I can restore her freewill if you do something for me."
"Why should I believe you?" I couldn't take my eyes off the monster that was my mother.
"Well I have to do at least one nice thing for my Grand Daughter. Now where should I start?" I stared at the villain in disbelief as he taped the mask he wore over his face.
"Impossible... your... your lying to me!" I yelled.
"You know I'm not, I may be many things but such a pointless lie is beneath me." he chuckled. "You'll be seeing things my way soon enough anyways."
"Look this is all nice and shit, but you promised me a quirk." Torchwick interrupted, "And then you can send me home to aid Salem."
"Of course, of course, did you handle the girl?" He asked.
"She has been sent to her mother in America." Torchwick said as I heard a grunt from the other wall.
"Oh Omoidasu, you tried to warn them." I was twisted the other way and hanging from two hooks through his hands was the man who had ripped through my memories. One For all walked over to him and placed a hand on the scalp of the man and black lightning crackled around the room as he pulled the man's quirk from him. He look to the Mobster and held out a hand to the crime boss which Torchwick shook with pride, a dark glow between their hands.
"Remnatians, so easily adapting to quirks. Truly remarkable, Do bring me some Faunas when you come back." All For One said with a grudging respect.
"If your willing to pay old man. Salem won't miss a few slaves." he laughed. "I'll be Taking Mr. Compress with me, and the Grimm Nomu, Her husband should be at Haven when we attack."
"You really just explained that all in front of me?" I asked.
"Don't worry, You'll be like your mother soon enough." I was lifted off of my feet and brought over to a tank full of black liquid. "The Blood Huntress will be a fitting name for my new assassin. Oh and do try to keep your mind intact, I'd rather break it myself." And with that I was plunged into the tank as the lid was sealed over me. I held my breath for as long as I could, my lungs screaming for air, eventually I couldn't hold it any more and my mouth opened, that's when the nightmares began.
I bounced my knee by Pyrrha's bed. 'Ruby and Bakugo were kidnapped, how could I be so fucking useless, I was right there.' Uraraka walked into the room.
"You still upset about what happened?" She asked as She sat down next to me.
"How could I not be? I was right there." I said as I clenched my fist. "And I only had time to throw one punch before she was gone."
"So what now?" She asked, "Our friends were just taken from us."
"We'll get them back." I stood up. "They could be doing anything to them right now, and here we are just sitting around waiting."
I had Uraraka gather up the rest of the class in Deku's room, well at least those that could move.
"Kirishima what is this about?" Kaminari asked.
"I'm going after Ruby and Bakugo." I said.
"Kirishima the pros are handling it." Tsu said, "Do you really want to get involved in this? You'll be breaking the law."
"Tsu, I am already involved, they took the girl I love and my best friend, and I could do nothing. I was right there and there was nothing I could do! And now Ruby's friend is dying again, the power of the Maiden has to go to Ruby." I took in a deep breath, "I refuse to be anymore of a failure."
"I'm going with you." Todoroki said. "I don't want to see anyone else hurt."
"I'm going as well, I have my own reasons to help both of them" Deku stood up.
"Are you insane?" Tenya asked.
"Tenya, It's been two days Pyrrha dies tomorrow, we don't have the luxury to wait." Todoroki said as calmly as he could.
"No, absolutely not." he waved his arms in the air.
"You can't stop us. Todoroki, didn't Momo put a tracker on a Nomu?" I asked.
"I did." We looked in the door way and the girl in question was there. "I'm going as well, Ruby has helped all of us so much, it would be wrong to do nothing."
I floated in the darkness struggling for air until I heard a giggling I twisted around and found myself in a forest. but something was off, like the colors had been drained except for red. "Hello." I called out, that's when the grimm came, but the didn't charge me instead the seamed interested in me.
"Hello young Rose." I spun on the spot and sitting in a clearing was a man who radiated purple light his featureless face was topped with curled horns, he sat at a stone table that dripped blood. He had a chess set in front of him. "Sit, you have some time to spare before the real excitement begins."
Our team walked towards Mystral, after a misadventure for me to talk with my mother which had led me to the Ice Queen herself. "Yang were almost there, another weeks travel." Dad said with a smile.
"Yeah, this has been so great." Qrow said as he took another swing from his flask, "You're not the one who got poisoned."
"You lived." Jaune pointed out.
"Shut up." My uncle groaned.
"This has been so much fun, oh do you think the trip to Atlas will be this fun?" Nora asked.
"I doubt it Nora." Ren smiled at the pink powerhouse.
"So long as we don't have to sleep on the ground anymore." Wiess said as she rubbed her eyes, she hadn't gotten her beauty sleep.
"Don't worry, Lionheart will set us up. He's a man of his word." Dad said with a smile.
"Listen up we have two locations for their main base. A secret bar that we have identified as a possible hideout due to information gained from one of the students during the attack and the tracker that one of UA's student's planted. You will be split into two teams." The Police chief explained to the pros and police men and women who had been selected to storm the League of Villains.
All Might, Endeavour, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady, Gang Orca, Tiger, Gran Torino, Best Jeanist and EdgeShot, were the Heroes who had been called in to fight the villains, and to restore the public's faith in Heroes.
Little did they know just what evil they would face in those buildings.
"You encouraged students to fight?" One reporter asked. "Against super villains?"
"They had to fight in order to survive the night, all things considered things could have gone much worse." I said in to the microphone. "Given what's happen this is the best we could make of the situation."
"The best scenario you could say? Two children and a Pro kidnapped, several other injured, one dying as we speak, this is the best scenario?" He continued. "What purpose do you suppose they could have with kidnapping the children? One of which is legally your responsibility out side of school."
"Choose your next words carefully." I said.
"Is it that the League seeks to add them to their ranks?" He asked and at that I stood up.
"We... I instil a strong sense of duty into my students, I wouldn't be surprised if Ruby and Bakugo were trying to fight their way out at this very moment. As For Pyrrha no one asked her to fight, she saw a child in danger, and she acted as a hero. You should be looking at their actions, They were all actions of true Heroes. I am proud to say that they will keep the peace."
