We walked across the street looking up at a three story building, in bright red text the sign read. Hunter Hero Agency. Loud yelling and cussing came from the top floor. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU DUDNERHEADS! I'M NOT USING MY QUIRK TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS! YOU KNOW HOW HERO WORK GOES! SO GET OUT THERE AND SAVE PEOPLE! GET YOUR FUCKING ASSES IN GEAR!" A woman yelled out.

"YES MA'AM!" The doors surged open as a large amount of heroes rushes past up.

"Well... this should be interesting." I said to Weiss and Blake.

Chapter 21: Dupli

We walked into the building, the ground floor was two stories high and it was a massive training room. Climbing walls, weights, treadmills and weapons were shining in racks against the wall, the left wall had a thin staircase leading up to the next floor. A woman sat on the foot of the staircase as she went through a massive pile of letters. "I swear to fucking god..." She wore black urban camouflage, large black boots and a blood red beret, a large row of medal hung on the left side of her jacket. Her raven black hair was streaked with grey. "First Summer then we lose the twins to that masked man. This just keeps getting worse." She asked her self as she wiped a tear from her eye. She took in a deep breath before she noticed us. "Oh hi, your the students from UA?" She asked as she stood up. Her emerald green eyes looked us over.

"Yes." I said as she marched over to us.

"Well about fucking time you got here! I'm the Soldier Hero: Dupli." She looked us over. "Well it isn't much but I can kick your asses into shape."

"Soldier Hero?" I asked as Blake and Weiss glanced at each other.

"Served twenty years in The United Nations Special Forces." She puffed out her chest with pride. "Now I run this Agency until Miss Ruby Rose Graduates. She's a lively young woman. Reminds me of my younger years. But enough about me, tell me about yourselves."

"Well I'm Weiss Schnee, and these are my friends Ilia and Blake." She gestured to each of us. "We're friends of Ruby."

"Great, let's do the paperwork and we'll get started on our mission. We may be rescue agency first and foremost, being one of the few agencies to have Heroes stationed in almost every major disaster prone area around the globe. Summer redefined what it meant to run a Hero agency." She scooped up the massive pile of letters and made rather quick time up the stairs. "But we did have a small handful of elite team of combat Heroes." She booted the door to her office off it's hinges. "You three aren't the only work studies here as well."

"We aren't?" Weiss asked.

"No I have a student from Tokyo coming in for a interview after you." She glanced back.

"Wait did have a small elite team? What happened?" Blake asked.

"About a two weeks ago those heroes made contact with a masked man. He killed them. I'm the only combat Hero left in the agency." She looked at a wall, on it was a mural with the painted words across the top, Heroes lost in this world, but live on in our heart. There was painting of several heroes, the beautiful painting depicted in their final moments, fighting fires, taking down villains with their last breath, and holding up cave ins deep in mines as the workers ran past. A woman that looked like Ruby stood in an ally facing down a man with black hair and a torn up mask and scarf, his jagged katana pointed at the woman's heart.

But one image depicted two men in a dark building, one in heavy plate armor, a massive two handed sword in his hands, the other in a tan leather tunic, two large quivers on his back and a elegant recurve bow in his grip. They faced off with a man in black clothes, blood dripping from his red sword. His eyes hidden by a grimm mask.

Adam Taurus was on earth.

I sat outside Nighteye's office, loud squeaking and crashing came from his office. "What are they doing?" I asked Mirio.

"I have no idea. Maybe he is testing him?" he admitted. "I have to wonder one thing, until he met your uncle, Sir Nighteye was highly suspicious of your family and your friends."

"Well I guess we did just kind of show up." I said as I rubbed the back of my head.

"But there are somethings that just don't add up. A few of class 1-A students suddenly have more powers. They have the same barrier quirk as you, Ruby, Summer and Qrow. Then there is Weiss, Blake, Ilia and Pyrrha, may she find peace. They also have that same barrier quirk." He scratched his chin.

"Oh, guess I never really thought about it." 'Shit, shit, shit.'

"And there's also that Corinthia girl. She's always with either the new staff member or the boy who sweats explosions. She has those same eyes as Ruby and White Huntress. Is she a relative of you guys?" He asked.

'Shit! SHIT! SHIT! We are to careless!' I thought as I was put on the spot.

Well looks like you should have stayed on Remnant. Cinder taunted me. How will you fix this one?

"Well you see..." There was a loud bang from the office and all the sounds behind the door stopped.

"I think their done." Bubble Girl said as we stood up. "Let go greet the newest member of the team."

"Uh yeah." I said as I followed her.

She opened the door to see Midoriya stamping the paper himself. "I can't wait to work with you."

I laid in the grass, I had just finished my training with Menzro. Even after all that time he was still the same grimm I knew him to be. "Hey Corinthia!" I rolled my eyes back to see Ashido. I had trouble believing she was human. She looked like some bizarre hybrid. But she was kind to me.

"Greetings Lady Ashido." I said as I sat up.

"How many times do we have to tell you, you don't have to be so formal with us." She sat down next to me.

"Force of habit." I said. "What is it?" I asked the pink hero.

"I was wondering what your doing." She smiled.

"Well... I was waiting for Bakugo to get back. I don't really spend time with anybody but him." I said.

"Yeah... do you like explosion boy?" She asked.

"Well he's strong, competitive, smart, and he's strong willed. I do intend on rebuilding my kingdom, I'll need a strong king by my side. If that's what your asking?" I said.

"Wait, that's it? No lovey dovey heart feels?" She asked.

"Well I grew up in a time where life was short, and as such we didn't have the time for 'lovey dovey' as you put it. I don't even see the point of a drawn out romance. If you like someone, you don't beat around the Beowulf, strike at it's heart and see what happens." I said as used my magic to make a flower grow. "The worse can happen is that they reject you."

"Huh... I thought a princess would be more into romance." She said as she picked at her short horns.
