"So Mirio… about your power... would you like to have your aura unlocked?" I asked, "If I hadn't fallen for Chisaki's feint you would still have your Quirk."

"I already did that." Yang said.

"And besides once Eri has control of her power I'll ask her to rewind what has been done." he smiled. "I'll make Sir proud, because even if he isn't here anymore, I know he is still watching us."

"Besides, you are free to leave after lunch, so we brought along someone." Yang said as Kiri walked in, a bundle of flowers in his hand. "So I thought a double date may cheer you up."

"That was my line." Kiri muttered. I got up and tackled him, he stood firm as he hugged me. "They didn't tell you but I waited till you were stabilized before I let them patch me up."

"Yeah, he held your hand the entire time." Yang came up and hugged him. "I'll be proud to officially welcome him to the family when mom and dad get back."

"Wait double date... who... oh no." I looked back at the top UA Student.

"Hope you don't mind it." He smiled. "Our feelings really Rose after the raid."


Chapter 42: Needle Break

My arms burned as they held my weight. Blood dripped down my face staining my torn dress. Now more red then white. Across from me in my cell was a full body mirror. my one remaining eye looked back at me weakly. the right side of my face was branded with the wolf head emblem of a once peaceful organization, the central scar ran over my eye. Adam walked into the cell. "You know... now that I have had my revenge against you Schnee, my mind has been a bit clearer. An eye for a eye." He sat on a chair set in my cell. "I don't think I'll kill you. I don't need to stoop to your family's level anymore."

I said nothing. There was nothing I could say.

"I think I'll keep you around when the Faunas rule, a humbled servant to be sure. But I doubt you would like that life." He stood up and cupped my chin. "I want equality, not subjugation."

"How... will there be equality if the Faunas rule Remnant?" I asked, my voice harsh from the lack of water.

"We won't treat those beneath us like slaves, we won't act like the humans who had power." He wiped the blood from my face, his hand deceptively gentile.

"You say that as you have me chained up and tortured everyday." I tried to muster the strength to shake his hand away.

"Once Blake and Ilia are dead, you will have a much more comfortable life, a example for humanity." He pulled his hand away. I can be rather compassionate to those who stand by me."

"Your insane!" I yelled at him as he left the cell.

"Think about it. I doubt you want to die."


I forced hand between the collar and my neck, feeling around I found the small hole where every six hours I was pricked by a needle and waited. I only had one chance at breaking the needle. Taking a deep breath. I felt it pierced my skin and I pinched it between my fingers and broke the thing piece of metal. Now I had to wait six hours for my Quirk to come back. We had bee in these cells for three days, or was it four? No matter. Every time I had tried to break the damn needle I had missed it.

"I got it." I hissed to Bowen. He wasn't doing well, the wound in his stomach had gone untreated for the most part these last few days.

"G... good. Once you can get over here... I'll need you to give half the power to Weiss once your out." He said.

"How many times do I have to tell you. You are going to see your family again." I said.

"No I won't." He grimaced as he held his ugly wound. It had gotten infected. "Once I pass the quirk on, my life will end, it has to be passed on. I'm sorry I wasn't able to train you two better." He said.

"Don't say that." I looked at him.

"I lived through my story, my time is up Glyn. I just want the future to be safe."

"Shut up, you have a family to get back to, live for them, your kids need their father." I said to him. "And you inspire millions with your unbroken streak. You will make it back."

"You are one stubborn hero." He chuckled, blood coughing up.


"How again did you figure out where they have them?" I asked Dupli and the military officers, my ears flat on my head. 'I should have been there.'

"We found Bowens blood on the floor in the Yakuza hideout, my quirk Vampire allows me to track anyone blood so long as they are alive." Lieutenant Drakai said, spinning her umbrella in her hand. Her fangs gleamed in the artificial light.

"I'll lead this assault myself with the students." Dupli said, "You can bring any number of forces you want. We still don't know how has them, it could be a Yakuza faction, or a group of villains. I hope you Faunas aren't going to miss a little sleep. We attack at midnight. You have six hours to prep."

"Yes Ma'am." We saluted her and marched out of the room. Once we got back to the barracks we went over our gear. A flash bang each, a side arm with two clips, combat knife each and our primary weapons. We weren't wearing our hero costumes for this mission.

"I hope that Weiss and Glyn are safe." Ilia said. "They would make good friends to hang out with."

"So do I Ilia." I placed my hand on her shoulder. Her blue eyes looked at me. "We are their friends, we will save them."


Sorry this took so long, I've been on the road all day.
