"Okay, I'll give it to Powerloader, the school needed a new crate stapler anyway." He walked away with it.

"I spent a week on that!" I groaned.

"I don't really need a weapon." Sero said. "I do just fine with my tape."

"Then I just have to think of something you can't say no to." I went to dash up to my room but Yang grabbed me.

"We aren't having deskaster on our hands."

...

...

...

"I will kill you." I groaned.


Chapter 29: The Meeting

I woke up to a text from Fatgum. 'You and Kirishima are to go here.' He attached a address to the text. 'No need for your hero costume. Bring your notes on the revolver that the villains used with quirk canceling drug.' I got showered and grabbed the three sheets of paper I had made on the weapon. I had taken precise measurements, weight of each part and everything else about the weapon.

I smacked the back of Bakugo's head as I walked by him at the table. "THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?"

"I was hungry." I sat down with a glass of milk. "How are the extra lessons going?"

"I don't want to talk about it." He went back to his waffle. "What of your work study?"

"Fatgum wants me to go to the next town over." I said as Yang walked in.

"Let me see that." She snatched my phone out of my hand. "Hey that's Nighteye's agency."

"Morning!" Deku and Kirishima entered the common area.

"Hey guys." Tsu croaked as she and Uraraka came in.

"Greetings." Weiss said as she handed me a cup of coffee with a wink.

I took one sip before I spat it out. "YOU SNOWY PRINCESS! THAT WAS SALT!"


We traveled to Nighteye's agency as a large group. Deku was by far the most confused, until I explained to him that our heroes had asked us to come here. Along the way we ran into Seduction who was thoroughly lost. "ICE QUEEN!" The Tokyo student pounced on my teammate, "I knew you would save me! I got so lost!"

"There there." Weiss patted her head. Around the corner came Ilia and Blake... "What are you wearing?"

The two of them were wearing olive green shirts that read WAR HERO, black shiny boots, and camouflage cargos. "We have to wear these uniforms as part of our work studies." Blake said they slumped over. "Weiss was the one that even got us the work study with Dupli, why is she doing it with a MMA Fighter?"

"DID I SAY YOU TWO COULD STOP! KEEP MOVING!" Dupli yelled at the two as she rounded the corner. "Oh, hello Ruby. Stop by the agency later."

"Hey Dupli." I smiled to the older woman. "Hope my friends aren't to much of a hassle."

"No not all. WHAT ARE YOU DOING! I SAID GET MOVING!" She yelled at them.

"YES MA'AM!" They took off running.

"Don't be to harsh on them." A scaled man rounded the corner. "Oh there you are Seduction. I was looking for you everywhere."

"Sorry Dragonheart." She bowed.

I glanced to Midoriya who was frozen in place staring at the two famous Heroes. "What's wrong with broccoli? BLINK BOY!" Dupli picked Midoriya up by the shoulders.

"I can't believe I'm meeting Dupli and DragonHeart!" He squealed.

"Oh... it's a fan boy." She dropped him. "You guys heading to Nighteye's agency as well?" she asked me as we walked down the street.

"Yeah, Fatgum said to come here. Any idea what is going on?" I asked her.

"No, wait your doing your work study with Fatgum? I haven't seen that handsome lug in years!" She laughed. "Who introduced you to him?"

"A third year named Amajiki." Kirishima said, "You knew Fatgum?" He asked.

"Ha, we went to school together, I was a few years older then him, I choose the military before changing over to hero work with Summer." She looked up to the sky, "I wonder what could have been if I had just become a hero in the first place." The conversations wandered to various subjects until we arrived. Standing out side was the big three and a out of breath pair of faunas.

"Hey you guys, how are you?" Mirio asked.

"Pretty good, any idea whats going on?" Yang asked him.

"I think this has to do with the investigation." He said, "Lets go inside."

The main lobby was packed with heroes and standing near the wall was Qrow and Aizawa. "What are you kids doing here?" Our home room teacher asked.

"I don't really know." Weiss said.

"Hello Aizawa, been a few years hasn't it? Last time I saw you was the Tokyo Screw up incident... 8 years ago?" Dupli shook his hand.

"7 years ago. It's nice to see you again." He let a small smile cross his face for a second. "You put a bullet in my leg that day."

"I did, still sorry about that." She laughed it off. "And you must be Qrow, Ruby's uncle?" She turned to my uncle.

"Yeah, ugh, I'm sorry if I'm not amiable, I spent the last three days without sleep spying on the purpose of this meeting. I need a drink." He groaned as a man with yellow and green hair entered the room, his suit a spotless white.

"Everyone, please it's time." I looked up at the man, Sir Nighteye.


We all sat at a large U shaped table, I sat between Amajiki and Kirishima with Fatgum to Kiri's right. Yang, Mirio and Deku sat across from us, with the Hero Rock Lock next to my classmate. Uraraka, Tsu and Hado sat next to the a woman in a red dress, the Dragon Hero; Ryukyu. Weiss, Glyn, Blake and Ilia were sat on either side of the heroes they were doing their work studies with. Qrow and Aizawa sat at the far end of the table from me. A few others heroes were also present.

"We have a lot to discuss, and many of you are meeting each other for the first time." Sir. Nighteye looked us over, behind him were his sidekicks, Bubble Girl and Centipeder. "I have called you here to discuss the Yakuza group Shei Hassaikai. Led by Kai Chisaki. About a week ago we discovered that he has a daughter, a little girl named Eri, my work studies encountered her on the street, her body covered in bandages, before meeting the Yakuza Leader."

"Yakuza? Aren't they low level thugs?" Rock Lock asked, "Organized crime isn't exactly high on a hero's list of worries nowadays with All Might."

"True, but this group is different, I have spent the last week and half spying on their head quarters, I noticed a handful of wanted thugs for villainy crimes." Qrow said, "This gang has something planned."

"Indeed, Fatgum I believe your agency came across something that has been linked to the Yakuza." The very serious Nighteye looked to us.

"Yes, a custom six shot revolver, designed to fire drug filled rounds. Red Huntress did a full break down on the weapon while the police and I analyzed the drug recoverd from a round that glanced of Riot. Huntress give the notes to Nighteye." I stood up taking the file in my hand and walked to the Pro, I felt even smaller under his gaze.

"Thank you, what of the drug?" Sir Nighteye asked.

"When we analyzed it, we discovered something that made my blood boil, Human DNA. This drug was created with the purpose of destroying quirks." Fatgum said, I as I sat down I heard Amajiki swallow hard.

"Like my and Ruby's dad?" Yang asked.

"What do you mean?" Nighteye asked.

"Our Father's quirk is None For All, he didn't inherit our grandfathers ability to steal quirks, rather his power targets the genes responsible for quirks and... burns them out." I explained, "Me and Yang didn't inherit the power."

"The grand daughters of All for One. I knew I recognized you." Ryukyu said, "Shame a power like that on our side would have done so much good."

"Indeed, but we aren't here to discuss that." Aizawa said.

"Correct, and with that connection I believe that Chisaki has been turning his own daughter in the bullets fired from these illegal firearms." And like a truck the regret that Deku, Mirio and Yang gave off nearly made me puke.

"What..." Tsu and Uraraka covered their mouths.

"I had her... in my arms." Yang was deflated.

"Our goal is to save the girl." Bubble girl brought up some files on the known members of the Yakuza.

"We wouldn't have to save her, had the three newbies done their job as Heroes." Rock Lock said, and I felt a pang of anger, but before I could say anything Sir. Nighteye spoke up.

"Trust me, those three feel the most regret about this."

At that moment Yang stood up, along with Mirio and Deku. "I swear I'll do my best to save her." The three of them said.

"Sit down, we still have much to discuss. Dupli, Dragonheart, you have been unusually quiet." The attention was brought to the Hunter Hero Agency.

"I'm sorry, but we can't provide anything to this investigation, we are busy with our own." Dupli said.

"Not quite, we can split the team. I'll provide what assistance I can while you keep training your students. Ice Queen, Seduction, will you assist me in this?" Dragonheart turned to Weiss and Seduction who nodded.

"Very well, Belladonna, Chameleon. We have to double our efforts on our case. If we come across anything that can help you, I'll pass it along."

"Yes ma'am." My friends kept their eyes on Yang.

"Very well, you may leave." Sir Nighteye sighed as they stood up and marched out of the room.

The rest of the meeting was going over the plan to locate Eri, and the drug and Weapon factory. As well as trying to use Foresight to locate it and why it wouldn't work.

After three hours all the students were sat out at a table. All except Yang who stood in the corner, her red eyes tearing up. "I had her, I could have saved her right then, but... why did I even listen to..."

"Listen to who?" Mirio asked, Yang snapped back to reality, having not realized she was talking to her self.

"Chisaki, I should have just taken her and gotten out of there." She quickly said, her eye then twitched like she had just heard something annoying. I looked at my classmates, they knew that wasn't who she had listened to.

A little while later Aizawa and Qrow walked in. "You have a choice to make." Our teacher said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"To take part in this or not. But let me make this clear, if the league of Villains is involved, you are off the mission."

We looked at each other, by one they nodded. "We are going to be Heroes." Weiss said for us.


The next few days passed at a snails pace, classes felt like entire days, and when we couldn't tell anyone what we were doing with our work studies.

I had reserved a battle arena for me and Yang to train with our Maiden powers every night after supper. We beat each other to the point that we had to be dragged to Recovery Girl. We didn't say a word during these bouts, because our actions said everything for us. We needed to be stronger.

We needed to be more then heroes, or huntresses. We had to be symbols.


And Chapter complete.
