"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 by their 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."


Chapter 43: Dragon Heart

I punched the wall over and over, my knuckles bleeding as I powered up my Quirk. My blood streaked down the concrete wall. "AHHH!" I yelled as turned to the bars of the cell and ripped it out of the wall with a crash of steel. "I'll get Weiss." I said to the barely conscious hero.

"Yes... get her..." He was fading.

I ran through the cell block I saw her at the far end of the room, hung up and bloody. Her face was branded with wolf like emblem. I shouldered my way through the gate the steel sreaching as it twisted and broke. I ran to her lifting her off the wall and ripping apart the cuffs.

"Glyn..." Her pale blue eye was bloodshot. "Get out of here..."

"Not with out you." I said as I picked her up in my arms I sprinted as fast as I could to Bowens cage. "Get up!" I booted the door wide open adn at the same time I heard loud boots and gunshots fromthe floors above us, the hideout was being raided.

"Lay on the ground. And close your eyes." He instructed. "I'll give you two Dragon Heart."

I set Weiss down, my arms stained with her blood. I layed next to her as I grabbed her hand, Bowens eyes focused as he removed his torn jaket and lited up a large scale on his chest. "Do you two swear to protect the innocent, useing your power for the betterment of those who can not defend themselves?"

"Yes." I said with Weiss, she didn't seem to be all there.

"Then repeat this oath. Hearby I swear my heart to the defense of the weak."

"Hearby I swear my heart to the defense of the weak." We repeated as we closed our eyes.

"May my blood be the river that divides the evil that plauges the world." the sound of skin tearing filled the air.

"May my blood be the river that divides the evil that plauges the world." a thick liquid dripped on my face.

"May death take me before I fall to the dark." He finishied.

"May death take me before I fall to the dark." blood flowed into my mouth, sickly and coppery, and my veins burned with fire.


We waited outside the hideout, Gambol shroud in my hands. "Two minutes." Dupli said as she clipped several armbands of tiny charms tight to her skin around her arm, they ranged from hand guns, ammo, first aid kits. She had her leg on the crate in front of her, the sole of her boot was perferated with holes. "Any questions?"

"How exactly dose your quirk work?" Ilia asked.

"I can create duplicates of anything touching my skin." She poited at the arm bands. "These are just shrunk down objects." A knife appeared in her hand. "I spent a couple years learning from Gran Torino as well." Her boot let out a puff of air.

"Useful." I said as I checked my weapon over. I frowned as I looked at the villain hideout.

"We'll get them." I jumped as Mac Gregor stopped next to me, a assult riffle in his hands and a belt of flash bang grenades strapped to his waist. "I may not be a hero, but I will do everything I can to save your friends.

"Thank you." I said just before one of the sargents pulled out a megaphone from a soldeir's hair.

"TO ANY VILLAINS INSIDE! STEP OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! YOUR BASE IS SURROUNDED!"

Nothing.

There was no reply.

Until the door was cut open by a red blade.

We had found Adam. He was the one to take them.

My body moved with out me thinking, my legs acted on their own, my sword cutting through the air as tears ran down my face. I slashed at him only for him to block with Willow, black sparking off of red. He slashed at me but I used my semblance to flank him hacking at him with the cleaver sheath. "NO!" I we exchanged blows.

His sword realed back as he prepared to strike again, but Dupli jetted in, her fists clenched in brass knuckles. Her punch forced him back as Ilia leaped over us and lashed out with her whip, the sharp point sparked with electirity as it struck his aura. A loud roar filled our ears as we dodged out of the way as Captain Silver charged in, his gorrilla form barreling over Adam. His blows from the hairy fists sounded like gunshots. Adam went to strike bu the captian rolled out of the way picking up a large couch and chucking it at Adam who slashed through it with ease.

I dashed back in and tackled him, I grabbed his arm and twisted it around, his aura my protect him from incoming damage, it didn't stop me from dislocating his arm. I heard a loud tearing and poping sound as I tore his arm out of it's socket. He howled in pain, "YOU'RE JUST LIKE THE SCHNEE'S!" He kicked me off. "BACK STABBING THOSE AROUND YOU! YOU RUN AWAY FROM YOUR CRIMES!" He slashed at me his his sword. only for it to be blocked by Dupli who had created a long sword. She pushed him back and fired at him with a revolver. The six shots ricoched off his blade as he glared at us. Then I had realized he wasn't wearing his mask.

The mask he had said to me that he would only remove once he had revenge on the Schnees.


And I really am sorry for the delay on this chapter. I had just moved back home after helping with some of my family.
