"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.


Chapter 22: Missions

We sat in front of Dupli, he was looking for something in her desk. "I hope you three are up to this. Once we have enough information on the target we are calling in a few other agencies." She pulled out a thin file. "We don't have much info on him." She opened it and it had a image of Adam taken from a distance. "We know this unknown man is dangerous and armed." I looked at Blake and she nodded. "As such you will be on information gathering.

"We... have experience with him." Blake said. "He was a friend of Ilia and mine." The hero looked from the case file and us.

"You have to tell me what you know. He is a threat." She stood up, her eyes fully alert.


I sat in the dank building the league called 'Home.' To gain the leagues trust I had to kill a few 'heroes'. The Hero Killer Stain while he was human, I could respect his ideals, Heroes shouldn't have a price tag. My hand rested on Willow's pommel as Torchwick's allies got ready to help the Yakuza. Cinder's green thief had volunteered for the mission, Emerald if I remembered correctly.

'A world of humans, and there are no faunas... I wonder... would these humans accept us? Or are they just like Remnant?' I thought to myself.

"I don't like him." I looked up at the lizard man Spinner, he had been the most receptive to my ideals, as they weren't in conflict with his own. That those with power are corrupt and had to be brought to justice. "He's only in it for the money."

"Every group has to... stand those they don't like. He may be human, but has served the White Fang well. He may not have loyalty, but he knows it's safer to work with us then turn on us." I stood up and walked out of the room.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"There is a pair of traitors I have to kill." I growled.


"His name is Adam Taurus. We used to be close. But he let his ideals start to take over." Blake said. "He's dangerous, his sword allows him to absorb the energy of most attacks, a release it all at once. He wears that mask to hide a scar. Three letters were branded into his face over his eye as a child. S.D.C. Little over a year ago he attacked me and my friends, stabbing me in my stomach, and cutting off my friends arm. It started out slowly, at first it was self defense, then it became his twisted form of justice." Blake gripped her pants. "And I didn't do anything about it. Because he was strong and I thought we were doing the right thing."

"I see. I'm sorry you went through that. If you want to sit out of the mission, I won't blame you." Dupli sank back into her chair.

"I'm afraid that we have to be the ones to stop him." I said. "I should have done something years ago, but... while we didn't kill those people, their blood is on our hands. We have to make it right."

"I never knew." Weiss said quietly under her breath, not loud enough for the hero, but we faunas heard it.

"Thank you, come in tomorrow for the beginning of your work studies, you have done us a great favor by providing this information."


I sat in bird form on top of a light post. I had been sitting here for so long watching people come and go. So far I hadn't seen anything that would raise alarm. But something just wasn't right about this Yakuza stronghold. I yawned as ruffled my feathers. 'So few use the front gate,' then I noticed something odd. A man was approaching the gate and he had... was that a girls doll set? 'Something's up.' I flew down to try and see if I could hear anything.

"I'm back." He said.

"You know the boss when the boss finds out your dead meat." the intercom buzzed as it opened.

'Bah, he just has a strange hobby.' I flapped away, 'These gangsters don't seem to have half the bite of the gangs in Remnant do... But something isn't right about their leader...' I had seen and followed their leader only a handful of times, but he always managed to lose me in the ally ways. 'That look in his eyes, he's dangerous. Raven would love that kind of man in the tribe. 'We didn't know how strong his quirk was, overhaul, being able to break down and reshape anything, 'Could he use that power on people?' I landed in a tree deep in a city park and returned to my human form.

"I need a drink." I sighed. Sir Nighteye had been specific, I was not to drink anything until the case was over. I looked around and saw that I was alone. "I'll just settle for a nap." I sighed as I closed my eyes.

...

...

...

'I can't sleep. That man isn't buying dolls for him self, the Yakuza has be recruiting the dredges of the underworld. They have a young girl in there!'


Tune in anytime from 4 hours from now to tomorrow for the next chapter. Why? Because I have no Idea how long it will take.
