Schnee Hero or Huntress (Condensed) Chapter 6: Arc 6, a RWBY + My Hero Academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア Crossover fanfic

Todoroki Shoto didn't have many pleasures in life. He enjoyed traditional Japanese literature, pissing off his Father, eating cold soba, but most of all, he loved Weiss Schnee's music. At first, he had simply dismissed her as the latest trend, a bratty idol that everyone would forget in a year or so. Then Fuyumi forced him to watch the live stream of the White Concert, which changed him. Her music touched his very soul, it was as if she was speaking to him. He spent the rest of the day listening to This Life is Mine, rewatching the concert clip over and over again. Whenever Father decided to stay over at home instead of sleeping at his agency, Shoto would make sure the volume was loud enough to shake the foundations of their house.

The fact that the Weiss Schnee ended up in the same hero course as him made Shoto feel butterflies in his stomach. Still, he was here to become a hero, not ogle over the amazing singer. He would surpass his Father, surpass All Might and become the World's Number One hero just by using his ice. Once he did that, Shoto could finally allow himself to be happy by spitting his Father's dream of a legacy.

Staring at the large holographic screen in front of him, Shoto found himself standing next to Jirou, who watched nervously. She seemed familiar with her earjack like earlobes. Shoto gave her a side-glance, when his eyes widened. He had seen her before, multiple times.

"You're her bassist aren't you?" Shoto found the words leaving his mouth before he could stop himself. His eyes drifted back to the screen. Kirishima and Ojiro were barely on the second floor, scrambling as they searched door by door. It reeked of inefficiency.

Jirou's head turned so fast, she looked like she snapped her neck. "Wha-How did you even?..." She gave their fellow classmates a glance before giving him a glare.

"Don't say that out loud." Jirou hissed as she turned her attention back to the screen. Schnee was now standing at the end of a hallway that led to the third floor where the fake nuke was hidden.

"Why-" Shoto's question was interrupted by the sound of the building's microphones picking up someone's voice.

"Does it feel good? Knowing that you tried…"

Shoto knew that voice! His eyes darted to the smaller screen that was focused on Schnee. She was inspecting her blade as she sang the slow and creepy song. Kirishima and Ojiro seemed spooked, but they started heading in her direction.

"What's she doing?!" Sero, the student that could shoot some type of tape out of his elbows, said. "She's leading them straight towards her!"

"...knowing that remains is a slow and brutal death…"

Now that was a rather creepy song. Shoto didn't remember any of her songs that were this eerie, and she had quite a few that dealt with mature topics. Shoto's eyes darted to the hero team. They both seemed unnerved, but they pressed onwards as they avoided several purple balls.

"She's using psychological warfare." Yaoyorozu said, her finger on her chin as she stared at the screen. "Using the environment and the song's lyrics, she's trying to catch them off guard."

"She's leading them straight into a trap…" Jirou said softly, her eyes still focused on the screen. Perhaps she was, but even with her quirk, Shoto doubted that the Idol could fight a two on one battle and win. Mineta was still recovering in the bomb room so she wouldn't have any reinforcements anytime soon, unless she was just trying to stall them until time ran out.

"..of the fools that will die in vain…"

Kirishima and Ojiro turned the corner, freezing in place as they caught sight of the smaller singer in the purple ball filled hallway. Kirishima raised his arms defensively, and Ojiro's tail swung from side to side, his arms also held in front of him. Shoto couldn't see their faces due to the camera's angle, but Schnee's was on clear display.

"How does it feel knowing that all of your efforts will fail?" Schnee flashed them an evil smirk as a snowflake appeared behind her. Suddenly, she launched herself forward, blade first.

Shoto couldn't look away.

Eijiro went into this exercise thinking it was going to be evenly matched, with his and Ojiro's skill in hand-to-hand combat, and being able to overpower the smaller villain despite her strong quirk. He had never been more wrong. Schnee was fast, way faster than Ojiro and himself. Not even a second later, Eijiro was on the defensive, using his hardened arms to try to block any strikes from Schnee's blade. A slash came from the left, causing Eijiro to meet the blade with his hardening. Schnee backed off at the last second, casually avoiding a swing from Ojiro's tail.

"Mmhmmhmmm." Schnee started to hum as she eyed the both of them. "You pesky heroes are starting to annoy me."

"Good-" Eijiro started to say when Schnee formed a snowflake beneath her, sliding straight towards him, blade pointed forward, still humming under her breath. Forming another snowflake, she jumped towards Ojiro, her sword forcing him to jump backwards.

She changed directions by jumping on another snowflake. Eijiro grinned and cocked his fist for a haymaker, when Schnee dodged at the last second, her sword slashing his hardened rocklike skin.

"Gah-" Eijiro's eyes widened as he felt the sword draw blood. Schnee pressed onwards, thrusting her blade rapidly forcing him backwards, each step bringing him pain as the blade barely pierced his skin. Ojiro jumped, flipping backwards as he got enough momentum to swing his tail down onto her, when she suddenly swung her right arm, her gauntlet counter striking his tail with a thud. Scrambling to his feet, the two heroes now surrounded the 'villain'.

"Go after the bomb! I'll hold her off!" Eijiro shouted as he hardened his scraped skin. She wasn't even trying judging by her swings and thrust! Ojiro hesitated for a second before nodding, running towards the stairs. Eijiro turned towards Schnee, raising his fist once again. "It's just me and you now."

Schnee sighed and flipped her white ponytail. "Oh no…whatever shall I do.." She charged towards him, swinging and thrusting with enough force to scrape his skin. Taking a step backwards, Eijiro immediately noticed his mistake when his back was against the wall. Damn it! He was so focused on Schnee, he forgot to look around his surroundings.

Mineta's balls were now stuck to him, while Schnee hadn't even touched the ground as she floated on a glyph. Struggling against the purple balls held on his back and feet, Eijiro could do nothing as Schnee turned to leave. She angled her head slightly. "I would say this was enjoyable, but that would be a lie."

She formed another snowflake, launching herself in the direction Ojiro went, singing as she went.

"All that you've built will be torn down, the hope of your people assailed."

"She's so manly.."

Ojiro ran as fast as he could. The only sound that filled his ears in the darkness was the sound of his footsteps as he ran up the stairs, and the haunting singing of Schnee.

"Form your armies, dream your dreams, make your plans and plot your schemes…"

She was gaining on him! He needed to find the bomb and capture it. Mineta should be around here somewhere, but Ojiro doubted that the smaller purple boy would be much of a threat despite his balls. Slamming through the door that led to the third floor in an explosion of splinters, Ojiro carefully dodged the purple balls that were attached behind it.

One of them stuck to the back of his gi. He would have to be careful with how he proceeded from now on.

"Send your fighters one and all…"

The way to the nuke was an obvious one, it had the most amount of balls guarding it, placed randomly along the floors and walls. Carefully jumping over and avoiding several balls, Ojiro wondered how Kirishima was doing. Did Schnee injure him badly? There was a bit of blood thanks to her sword, thankfully she hadn't swung her blade towards him or his tail oh-

She didn't use her sword against him, only waving it threatenly, or pulling away at the last second. Shaking the thoughts out of his head, Ojiro swung his tail against the door, causing a thud to sound out. What? That should have broken it! She was getting closer!

"Then in battle…"

Another strike caused a few splinters to go flying, but it didn't budge. The hairs on his tail and arms stood on end as the eerie song drew closer.

"Watch…"

Feeling his breath start to quicken, and forcing himself to take a deep breath, Ojiro slammed the door as hard as he could with his tail. Finally causing it to open, revealing a large nuke made out of paper mache. Suddenly, he fell to his side when a blur of purple struck his tail, causing Ojiro to lose his balance.

"Fall!"

The small blur of purple threw waves upon waves of purple balls towards Ojiro, causing him to raise his hands to protect his face. Sticking to his skin and gi, Ojiro took a step backwards when he felt a blade press against his exposed neck, not covered by Mineta's balls.

"Surrender 'hero'." Schnee's sharp voice said. "Good job Mineta."

Ojiro raised his hands slowly, the small purple boy appearing in his vision right in front of him, with blood slightly pouring from his scalp. "I surrender." There was no way out of this.

"Thank you, my Queen." Mineta groaned as he collapsed on the floor. Ojiro fell to his knees, the shiver never leaving his spine. That was way too close, even for a training exercise. The intercoms then came to life.

"Uhhh, villains win?"

"Everyone gather around so we can review the third matchup!" All Might declared as he held a notebook in his hands. By now, Weiss, Mineta and the two heroes they went up against were now in the observation room, their classmates gathered around them whispering and shouting. Thankfully, they were focused on the wellbeing of Kirishima and Ojiro, with the redhead having been slightly injured with Weiss' lazy swings. Like seriously, she didn't even strike him that hard and he still bled! Ignoring Kyouka's and Mina's concerned looks. Weiss stood next to the other three participants. All Might stood off to the side.

"What mistakes did the Hero team make?" All Might asked, turning his gaze towards Kirishima and Ojiro. He truly was a wise teacher, using these reviews to tell his students what they needed to improve in, but could he tell that Weiss was holding back like Mr. Aizawa? Yaoyorozu and Iida's hands immediately shot into the air. "Iida, what do you think?"

Glasses took a step forward and bowed his head politely. "When they heard Schnee's singing, they assumed that she was alone and fell for her trap!"

All Might nodded slowly. "Yaoyorozu, anything else?"

"They also allowed the villain team to decide where and when the initial battle shall take place, which means that they had the advantage with knowledge of where Mineta's balls were stationed throughout the building." Yaoyorozu said respectfully. Weiss had personally spotted a few more mistakes, but she had made a few of her own so who was she to say them out loud? Of course, the mistakes were done in order to throw off the scent that she was more experienced than they were, and how versatile her glyphs were.

"Yes! When possible, remember this. This is the villain's hideout, they are on the defense, so they shall try to use every trick and strategy possible in order to win." All Might said firmly, yet kindly. "Sometimes you must fight them on their terms, but there will always be a better option! A tactical retreat does not mean defeat!" All Might's grin never faded. "You did well, Young Kirishima and Young Ojiro. Just reflect on what happened here today. Good job!" He gave them a thumbs up.

All Might turned to Weiss and Mineta, who was no longer bleeding from his scalp. He gave Myrtenaster a glance before turning to the rest of the class. "What did the villain team do wrong?"

"Ooo oo! Pick me!" The floating pair of gloves and boots waved their hands. Hagakure if Weiss' memory was correct, as usual. Let's see what the invisible girl noticed.

"Yes?"

"Schnee left Mineta to guard the nuke while going off by herself!" True, that was a potentially dumb move that could have costed them the victory, if Weiss was a lesser person. It was a risk that Weiss was willing to take.

"And she toyed with them instead of ending the fight as soon as possible, ribbit." Tsuyu the frog faunus added. That was a valid criticism as well.

"Excellent!" All Might held a single finger in the air. "Never prolong a battle just for the thrill of it! You may find that your opponent may suddenly turn the tide. Congratulations on your victory, Young Schnee and Young Mineta!"

Weiss bowed her head politely, but kept her composure. It was only natural that this would end in her team's victory. Still, the battle would have been over before it started if Ruby was here.

"Who was the MVP of this match?" All Might asked. Another thought provoking question, one that Weiss already knew the answer to. Kirishima and Ojiro didn't really do anything special, so it would be between Mineta and herself. Of course, while she did most of, if not all, of the physical fighting, Mineta's balls allowed her to control the environment around her due to knowing where they were all placed.

The little mongrel was actually useful, or at least his quirk was. He was still annoying. Plus Weiss was going to have a word with him about calling a queen and goddess. Turning her attention back to the class, she observed as they all turned to each other confused and whispering.

"Schnee!"

"Mineta!"

"Kirishima!"

"Ojiro!"

Weiss swore that a large sweat drop formed on the side of All Might's chiseled face. Those were rather divisive answers that he received.

"Ha ha ha! It's great to see so many opinions." All Might laughed confidently. "I would have to agree with those who chose Young Mineta."

Disappointing for sure, since Weiss was the one who took on both 'heroes' and came out without a single scratch. She tightened her grip on Myrtenaster, but didn't reveal any emotions on her face.

"By using his quirk to set up traps and barricade doors to funnel the Hero team in the direction which would suit the Villains the best, Young Mineta essentially allowed the Villain team to control when and where the Heroes shall fight Young Schnee." All Might gave them all a thumbs up. "Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Now onto the next match!"

Weiss rejoined her class in watching the rest of the matches, ignoring the confused stare the idiot dog gave her.

How annoying.

The rest of the day passed by quickly. After Basic Hero training, the school day was almost over, so the class divided into their cliques and friend groups that had been formed. Kyouka was near the student with a bird head, who was sitting on one of the desks, along with Ojiro, the student with a tail. Mina was talking to Green Boy who had just returned from the infirmary after injuring himself during his fight with the dog. Weiss formed a small smile.

She loved that her friends were able to socialize without Weiss there to ruin it for them. They deserved that and so much more for everything that had done for her. Still, there was a hole in Weiss' heart that wasn't easily filled, a large rose shaped hole.

Looking down at her notebook, Weiss bit her bottom lip gently. She had decided to accept the offer to produce that new movie's soundtrack. Apparently it was about some rebelling cybernetic soldier from the future that decided to become a hero, and Weiss had no idea where to start.

"Was that one of your new songs, Miss Weiss?" A voice interrupted Weiss' lonesome thoughts. Turning her eyes slightly, Yaoyorozu came into view. "Back during the training exercise I mean."

"I'm afraid a song like that isn't very public friendly." Weiss said dryly. "I came up with it on the spot, hoping it would give me an edge." It worked out in the end, judging by how scared Kirishima and Ojiro were when they saw her.

"Ah I see." Yaoyorozu replied. "Maybe you should do a concept album full of villains-like songs." She giggled politely.

"Perhaps. If I do, I'll let you hear it first." Weiss was just being polite of course. Why would she write villainous songs? Just the thought of writing a song with its lyrics based off of Cinder started to make her leg shake. That psycho almost killed her, only being foiled by whatever sent Weiss into this world, and Yu.

"Really? You're so kind!" Yaoyorozu said with a large smile. Weiss returned it with her 'Idol' smile. Overall, today was not bad for the second day of school.

Now if she could only get that Todoroki guy to stop staring at her.

The next few days of school were the most annoying ones so far. Whenever she showed up early in the morning to prepare Myrtenaster for class, Weiss found UA's front gate completely surrounded by news reporters and paparazzi. The leeches and parasites were busy bothering any student that came near in their uniform. She just stomped past them, ignoring the flashes and questions that she didn't even bother paying attention to. Now she was sitting in her classroom, all alone. The others would probably be delayed due to that annoying crowd.

Taking her song notebook out of her backpack, Weiss took a deep breath. Writing songs for a movie was a whole different beast when compared to writing songs for her albums or metube videos. She could work on the lyrics for the movie's theme song before Mr. Aizawa or her classmates arrived. Hm, a time traveling cybernetic soldier that rebels against his programming to defend the present day time period at all cost.

What a cliche sounding movie, but it was an American production, and they were offering her a lot of money, which she needed. Yu caused a lot of damage whenever she fought villains, damages that needed to be paid. Thankfully, Yu was performing better out in the field now that Weiss was teaching her a few basic moves in hand-to-hand combat, just imitating what Yang had forced into her brain. Weiss was far from an expert, but it was still better than nothing.

Biting the end of the pen softly, Weiss almost glared a hole in the notebook. Yeah, she had nothing right now, no inspiration or melodies in her head at the moment. Sighing, she closed the book and placed it back in her bag.

"Good morning Young Schnee! You're here early." All Might said as he popped his head through the classroom's door. Weiss stood up and bowed her head respectfully.

"Good morning All Might, sir." Weiss responded immediately. The Symbol of Peace seemed to be a wise teacher, one that Weiss could learn a lot from. After all, he had a career that lasted decades as the Number One hero. She wished he was their homeroom teacher instead of Mr. Aizawa.

"Ha ha ha! I hope you didn't have any trouble with the news reporters. I'm afraid that's my fault." All Might grinned as he stepped into the classroom, revealing the rather expensive suit he was wearing.

"None at all, Sir. I'm rather used to dealing with them." Weiss said, forming her 'Idol' smile with another bow of her head.

"Hahaha! A great skill to have once you become a Pro-Hero!" All Might gave her a thumbs up. "May I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course." Now what did he want? Was it about her performance during combat training? All Might's grin never changed, with his two long bangs swept up in the air.

"Don't worry, I'm just curious. I plan on asking your classmates and those in 1-B the same question." All Might took a few steps towards her. "Why do you want to be a hero?"

Why do you want to be a huntress?

Doctor Oobleck had been the last person to ask Weiss a question like that. Why did she want to be a hero? It wasn't like the Grimm roamed this world, with humanity on the brink of escalation. Weiss took a sharp breath, and started to speak.

"That would depend on what you mean by hero, sir. Hero can mean two things in this context. Hero as in the occupation, or being a 'hero', if you will." Weiss placed a hand on her chin thoughtfully.

"Both then." All Might raised an eyebrow.

"For the first one, I want to prove that I'm more than just a name, more than just some singer who got lucky." Weiss said carefully. "As for the latter, I believe that if someone has the ability to help, then they should do their best to do so."

All Might nodded. "I see, thank you for sharing Young Schnee!" He gave his watch a glance. "It seems that your classmates shall be arriving any moment now! I'll see you in class."

All Might sped to the door. "Here I am! Leaving through the door-" And he was gone.

"Well that was weird."

"Nice job with the training exercises." Mr. Aizawa said with his usual bored voice. Class started right on schedule, despite the news reporters blocking the front entrance. "I saw the after report and recordings." His eyes scanned the classroom, from what Weiss could see. Nobody seemed to care that they placed this enormous chunk of muscle in front of her.

"Bakugo, you're talented, just stop acting like a brat." Mr. Aizawa's voice never changed. "Midoriya, breaking your arms again huh, you need to work on that. And Schnee, singing while in a training exercise?"

Weiss was sure he was glaring at her, she wouldn't know because she COULDN'T SEE!

"Start taking this seriously." Mr. Aizawa grumbled. "Anyways, this is a bit late since you all were supposed to do this earlier…"

Was it another test? A recording of orientation since he made them skip it for that quirk test he wanted?

"You all need to decide on a class representative."

Oh, what was that? Beacon didn't have anything like that, and Weiss was tutored for most of her lessons. She would have to ask Mina or Kyouka later. Still, it seemed really important, since representative was in the title.

"I want to do it!" Kirishima shouted, raising his hand in the air.

"Me too!"

"Mee three!"

"No! I want to do it!"

The class started arguing, causing Weiss to sigh. Why couldn't they be more serious?

"I nominate Weiss!" Mina exclaimed with a large smile on her face.

Wait, what? No-no-no, she didn't need more work, as nice as that sounds. Weiss did love to work, but she was already extremely busy balancing classes with her music.

"I second that." Kyouka said, turning her head to flash Weiss a mischievous smirk. That opened another tidal wave of opinions.

"Ice Queen for Class Rep!"

"NO I'LL DO IT YOU SHITTY EXTRA!"

"YOU'RE SCARY HELL NO!"

"NO, ME! CHOOSE ME!"

"VOTE FOR THE GODDESS!"

Weiss felt her right eye twitch as everyone around her shouted, well mostly everyone. This was starting to get on her nerves.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Weiss shouted loudly as she stood up, lightly slamming her hands on the table. Iida gave her a weird look, his mouth half open, looking like he was about to say something. Ignoring their shocked stares, Weiss kept her face hard and indifferent.

"Being the Class Representative isn't a game, it's a position of responsibility! We are here to learn to be heroes, not horsing around." Weiss said loudly. "You just can't get the job because you want it. It's a duty that must be carried out to the letter! Being the Class Representative isn't just a title, it's a heavy badge that must be carried by whoever is chosen."

"Well said Schnee!' Iida finally spoke, standing up with his right hand held high in the air. "I propose that we do this the American way, through an election." His eyes turned serious.

"But we barely know each other, ribbot." Tsuyu spoke up. "How can we trust someone, especially since most of us are going to vote for ourselves."

"Then whoever is able to gain multiple votes shall be considered worthy!" Iida answered confidently. That seemed to placate the frog faunus. "What do you think Mr. Aizawa?!"

Weiss leaned her head into the aisle, showing their homeroom teacher wrapped into his sleeping bag.

"I don't care. Just get it over with before homeroom is over." He laid down behind the podium.

"An election shall be held then!" Iida seemed excited. Good for him, he obviously wanted the position.

Yeah, there was no way Weiss was going to win, especially after telling everyone to shut up.

"Congrats Schnee! You're now our Class Representative!" Kaminari shouted as the class turned to look at her. Keeping an impassive look on her face, Weiss felt a part of her die on the inside.

She hated being famous.

Weiss glared at the front board, the results of the election visible to everyone in the classroom. Her hands were balled into fist, as she ignored everyone congratulating her. What did she do to deserve this position? Absolutely nothing, that's what. If Weiss had been offered the position during her first semester at Beacon, she would have taken it without a second thought. But now? Weiss wasn't worthy, she wasn't Ruby, she wasn't Coco, she wasn't even Jaune or Sun who led their teams. She didn't deserve this, but she was chosen in the end. She could refuse it, there was nothing stopping her from doing so, but then who would bear the burden?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Weiss would know, she still wore her tiaras with her off-center ponytail! Still, could she live with herself knowing that she ran away from responsibility, allowing someone else to struggle with the duty that she was initially chosen to do? That wouldn't be very 'hero-like' behavior would it? Weiss wasn't a hero, but she was still a huntress.

Weiss Schnee - Ten Votes

Yaoyorozu Momo - Two Votes

Midoriya Izuku - Two Votes

The list continued, with several people having only a single vote, themselves most likely. Weiss gave her vote to Iida, mostly because it seemed that he really wanted the position. Plus she didn't want to burden Kyouka or Mina with the heavy responsibility, though she should have chosen one of them in revenge. Logic overthrew emotions in the end, and so she voted for Iida. Anyone who voted for themselves didn't deserve such a responsibility.

"Wow! Schnee won by a landslide!" Kirishima's mouth formed an O, but he grinned soon after.

"Congrats Schnee! You're now our Class Representative!" Kaminari shouted as the class turned to look at her. Keeping the impassive look on her face, Weiss felt a part of her die on the inside.

She really hated being famous.

"WHY DO I ONLY HAVE ONE VOTE? YOU STUPID SHITTY EXTRAS DIDNT VOTE FOR ME?!" The dog screamed with rage, standing up from his desk.

"Because you voted for yourself and you're crazy?" Sero, the elbow quirk boy, said with a sheepish grin.

"WHY YOU-" The dog started shouting again.

"Shut it you stupid idiot." Weiss forced out, glaring at the dog from her desk. "You shouldn't even be surprised with that horrible personality of yours." She eyed Mr. Aizawa's sleeping bag, which poked out from behind the podium. Standing up slowly from her desk, she formed a smirk.

"What did you just say?" The dog growled as he turned to glare at her, hatred covering his muzzle.

"That's the second time you've told me that this week. Didn't I tell you to go get your ears checked?" Weiss casually walked up to the front of the class, her facial expressions hard. Ignoring the dog's next remark, Weiss turned to the class.

"I accept the position of Class Representative. I hope I'll be able to live up to everyone's expectations." Weiss bowed respectfully.

"Yay! Now we get to show off that we have an Idol for our Class Rep!" Hagakure shouted with one of her arm sleeves floating in the air, as if she was pumping her fist. Weiss wouldn't know about her facial expressions since the girl's physical body was invisible.

"Who's going to be the deputy class rep then?" Ojiro asked as he scratched the back of his head. "Midoriya and Yaoyorozu tied for second." That made Iida's head drop onto his desk. He only had a single vote according to the board. Ha! This was all his idea too.

Weiss turned her attention to the nervous Green Boy who kept breaking his body whenever he used his quirk. He was shivering in his seat with a small blush on his face. Was he nervous that he received a vote? Meanwhile, Yaoyorozu's pretty face held a small smile, and was much more relaxed. Who would they choose? Nervous Green Boy with a self destructive quirk, or the Rich Girl with the versatile quirk? Not that their quirks mattered of course. Their intelligence and charisma are what mattered here.

"What do we do, Ice Queen?" Kyouka said sarcastically from her spot, her smirk still on her face. Weiss gave her a glare. This was all of her fault! And Mina's too for starting it.

"We hold another election, this time with only two names on the ballot." Weiss replied confidently. "Does that work for the two of you?" It was more of a statement than a question.

"Of course Miss Weiss." Yaoyorozu smiled again as she brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. Yeah, she definitely gained the vote of most of the boys, and girls if they swung that way.

"Y-Yes." Midoriya stuttered once Weiss' harsh eyes met his own. His awkwardness was starting to remind of Ruby. This would be the first and last time Weiss would speak directly to him if she could help it.

"It's settled then, let's get this over with."

For the first time since school started, Weiss released a sigh of relief. Deep inside, she was hoping that the Green Boy would have lost in order to avoid having to talk with him. Yaoyorozu, while annoying, at least seemed rather competent. For once in her average lengthed life, Weiss' prayers were answered.

Yaoyorozu Momo - Twelve Votes

Midoriya Izuku - Eight Votes

"We now have our Class Reps!" Seto said with a sigh of relief. Yup, this must've been stressful for the others.

Yaoyorozu stood to Weiss' left, towering over the barely five foot Idol. Iida still seemed dejected, but was starting 'sober' up. At least was finally coming to terms that he lost, unless he was putting on a mask just like Weiss was.

"Man, we have the hottest Class Reps.."

"Schnee did come in first in the entrance exam, and those physical test on the first day of classes."

"Yaoyorozu was pretty smart during All Might's training.."

"All hail our gorgeous goddess!"

Weiss felt her left eye twitch.

The lunchroom was often crowded because students from all of the different courses came together around the same time. Ranging from the Hero course, to Support and Management, even General Studies. Today, it seemed that Weiss wasn't going to be able to eat alone.

Yaoyorozu and Mineta joined her, eating happily as they ignored the crowd that formed around Weiss. She didn't mind, but she would have prefered to eat with Kyouka and Mina. Eating her rice slowly, Weiss signed a notebook that someone from the crowd placed next to her. Hopefully they would leave once they had their autograph so she could eat in peace.

"So, what made you decide to move to Japan, Miss Weiss?" Yaoyorozu asked as she ate a rather large meal. Her quirk must use a lot of calories.

"My parents wanted to start somewhere new, so we left Germany." Weiss ate another spoonful of rice. "A villain attacked the plane we were on before we could even reach the mainland, somewhere in between Korea and Japan."

Yaoyorozu's face fell, with Mineta listening closely. The crowd seemed too busy arguing among themselves to even pay attention.

"I was the only survivor." Weiss placed a sliced up carrot on top of her rice and ate it. "I had no other family members so I decided to stay here. A nice lady took me in."

Why was Weiss telling Yaoyorozu this? To spread rumors so that nobody else asked her the same questions. It was easier this way, and less of a headache.

"Oh, I'm sorry for asking. I didn't mean to bring up any unpleasant-"

"Don't worry about it." Weiss formed a fake smile. "Emotions help me write songs you know."

Yaoyorozu nodded with a sad smile and they resumed eating in an awkward silence.

Then the alarms started to ring.

Everyone started panicking like a herd of wild animals as soon as the alarms came to life. Students stopped what they were doing, and started running towards the exit like villagers being herded into a trap set by bandits or the Creatures of Grimm. These were to be the Heroes of Tomorrow? The next generation of top Pro-Heroes? Granted most of them were from Support, General Studies and Management, but that was still disappointing, especially since Hero course students were among those running amok.

Leaving Yaoyorozu and Mineta behind, Weiss stood on a glyph, hovering over the stampeding crowd in the hallway near the exit sign. Thankfully, her stockings and safety shorts prevented anyone from giving her a sneaky look when they scrambled beneath her.

"EVERYONE CALM DOWN AND FORM A LINE! IF I SEE ANY PUSHING OR FIGHTING I'LL BEAT YOU UP MYSELF!" Weiss shouted while glaring at the wide-eyed crowd behind her. That's what Yang would have said right? "AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE FUTURE HEROES!"

She had no idea what caused the alarm, but if this was an attack like the one on Beacon, UA would have fallen by now judging by this reaction. The students of Beacon Academy fought with every fiber of their being, with more than a few of Weiss' classmates being slain by the White Fang, Grimm, or traitors Atlesian knights and paladins. She turned her hands into a fist, digging her manicured nails into her skin. The physical pain was better than dealing with those memories.

Spotting the members of Class 1-A that were struggling among the crowd, Weiss felt a sliver of satisfaction. At least the majority of her classmates weren't among the ones causing others to trip and be stepped on. Suddenly, a figure started floating in the air, a very familiar figure with glasses.

What was Iida doing-

He suddenly launched himself forward, sending him spinning right towards Weiss. Forming another glyph to her right, she jumped out of the way just as he slammed into the wall. Ouch, that looked like it hurt, especially without aura.

"Schnee! It's the media not an attack!" Iida forced out through his closed teeth. "Reporters managed to sneak onto campus!" He grabbed one of the bars of the exit sign to prevent himself from floating away. Uraraka must've been the one to do this. It would look weird coming from her since she's been screaming at them to evacuate in a proper manner.

Weiss nodded and motioned her hand that wasn't in a fist to the crowd. "Tell them."

Iida's eyes widened. "Why me? You're the Class rep-"

"Do it. This is an emergency. Don't question orders." Weiss narrowed her eyes, doing her best to imitate Winter. Iida nodded and turned his head to the crowd who had calmed down a bit.

"EVERYONE, EVERYTHING IS FINE! REPORTERS MANAGED TO SNEAK ONTO SCHOOL GROUNDS!" Iida's legs started to shake, so Weiss formed another glyph beneath his feet to support him. Iida stopped shouting since the crowd turned silent. He turned his head back to Weiss.

"As you can see, everything is fine." Weiss interjected before someone caused another panic. "We're all the future generation of Pro-Heroes! There's nothing to be afraid of…"

"PLUS ULTRA!" Weiss raised her fist in the air, cringing as she did so. There was no way she was ever going to say that again.

"PLUS ULTRA!" Several students shouted, causing others to echo UA's motto until everyone was shouting.

Not even the police sirens could get them to stop shouting. How annoying.

"And now it's time to decide on our class officers." Weiss stood behind the classroom's podium, Yaoyorozu standing beside her. Nobody noticed that she was standing on two boxes so she appeared to be the same height as the taller girl. While Weiss would prefer to cede the position of Class Rep to her deputy, or even Iida since he did well during the stampede, that would be irresponsible to those who had voted for her, which was about half the class. So, she could do the next best thing.

"I nominate Iida Tenya for secretary of Class 1-A." Weiss said loudly. Glasses looked up from his desk in shock. "Don't look at me like that. You did well during the emergency."

"Yeah man! You looked so manly when you were up by the emergency exit." Kirishima added with a grin. That earned Iida a slight blush on his face.

Uraraka and a few other students started talking over each other loudly, talking about how he deserved it. This was an important meeting, not a party. She would let them have their moment for now. Ignoring Mr. Aizawa's sleepy groan, Weiss kept her face indifferent.

Iida stood up dramatically and placed his hand over his heart. "I, Iida Tenya, promise to fulfill the duties of Class Secretary to my utmost ability!" He bowed sharply after that. Good, now Weiss could pass any extra work onto Yaoyorozu and Iida, along with the other class officers. That should be able to ease her burden.

"Yeah yeah. Now onto our next officer…"

Hopefully Yu was having a better day.

"Owowowow!" Yu groaned as she placed an icepack on her side. Some villain managed to take on Shinji, some other hero and herself, taking a family hostage until All Might came out of nowhere. She placed a smoothie she got for free against her forehead while Shinji's head laid on the table of the cafe they rested at.

"Weiss is going to kill me if she finds out."

This was the worst day ever.

"Today's Hero training shall be composed of three teachers." Mr. Aizawa was finally out of his sleeping bag after his rather long nap. He still sounded tired. "All Might, another hero and myself shall be overseeing today's training."

Weiss didn't like the sound of that.

"What are we going to be doing today? Ribbit." Tsuyu asked while raising her hand. It was a good question, one that Weiss was going to ask if no one else did.

Mr. Aizawa sighed and fumbled with his pockets for half a minute before pulling out a card with large blue letters. "Today we are going to be doing Rescue training. We'll be doing natural disasters to shipwrecks and everything in between."

Well that sounded easy enough. Training at Beacon included saving civilians from ravaged villages that were too remote for the Kingdom's military to intervene. This wasn't Remnant though, so there was still much for Weiss to learn. The class immediately started mumbling and whispering with excitement.

"Hey, I'm not done yet." Mr. Aizawa yawned. The class turned silent, just the way Weiss liked it. "You can choose whether or not to wear your hero costumes this time, since some of your costumes may limit your abilities to perform certain actions." He pressed a button on his remote, opening the lockers that held their outfits. Weiss would be taking hers of course.

"Training will be held off campus, so we're taking the bus. Start getting ready, I'm done now." Mr. Aizawa sauntered out of the classroom.

Now this was going to be a great learning experience.

Less than a half hour later, the class gathered outside with most of them wearing their hero outfits. Many didn't wear their complete outfit, with the dog only wearing one of his bulky grenade gauntlets, others such as Iida and Uraraka didn't wear their headgear. Green Boy wore his gym uniform with some parts taken from his costume since it was damaged. Understandable since Mr. Aizawa did say some aspects of their hero costumes would only get in the way. That's why Weiss left behind the bow that was similar to Blakes. She didn't want it getting damaged because it got caught on something.

Iida stood at attention by Weiss' side. "Should we line them up by their class number so the boarding process can go smoothly?" He pulled a whistle out of nowhere, his face serious. Weiss gave him an indifferent side glance. Yup, he reminded her too much of how she used to be, strict, too serious, and a stick up his ass, but at least he was competent.

"No. We'll see how everyone handles it without strict instructions. Just have them form a line so we can board." Weiss shrugged. Iida nodded and was starting to move the whistle to his lips. "Don't you dare blow that whistle! Not while I'm still standing next to you."

Iida paused and bowed his head sharply. "My apologies Class Representative!" He held the whistle in his balled fist.

Weiss took a few steps away from him and covered her ears. "Now you can blow it." Blake would have murdered him on the spot for bringing that piece of metal out.

Iida's serious face lightened up a bit as he blew the whistle as loud as he could. "Everyone line up so we can get on the bus!" He even added some stiff arm movements as he spoke. Weiss was never meant to lead, she had learned that the hard way, but that wouldn't stop her from doing her best. At least this rescue training would provide useful information, unlike that combat training that Weiss easily won.

Hopefully she could sit next to Kyouka and Mina this time.

Weiss did her best to stop herself from frowning, keeping her indifferent mask on her face. The class boarded the bus without any hassle, thanks to the supervision of Yaoyorozu and herself of course. Iida was the first one on board in order to make sure everyone was behaving, and by everyone she meant the stupid dog.

Mina and Kyouka sat in the front with their classroom's secretary, and Green Boy. Kirishima, feminine blond boy and Mineta, who tried to sit in the Weiss' section only to be blocked by the half white and red boy, were also with them. Now she was stuck with Yaoyorozu, the Half white and red Todoroki, Sero the tape boy, and the invisible girl who sat next to Weiss, completely in the nude. How did Weiss know she naked?

The only thing that indicated she was there were her floating gloves and boots. If that didn't work, her annoying voice made sure that you definitely knew she was there.

"Your hair is so silky! What kind of shampoo do you use? How about your conditioner?" Hagakure said cheerfully. "How do you maintain your voice? Do you eat raw eggs?" You're so pretty!"

"Regular shampoo, no, I drink tea, no, thank you." Weiss said sharply once Hagakure's lungs gave out. Yaoyorozu giggled softly, sitting across the aisle from Weiss, giving Myrtenaster not so discreet looks, but at least she was trying.

Todoroki on the other hand, kept giving her obvious looks, turning away quickly whenever they made eye contact. What a complete weirdo. He must've been a pervert or something with the amount of glances he took, and how flustered he looked afterwards.

"What's the deal with the sword?" Sero blurted out, his eyes focused on Weiss' prized blade. Finally someone with the courage to ask, instead of dancing around the issue.

"Myrtenaster helps me to control my quirk without as much concentration." The lies slithered out of Weiss' mouth like a snake. "Plus I took fencing lessons when I was younger, so it makes sense to use it to my advantage."

The dog started screaming at something the others in the front were saying, Weiss didn't catch what it was. He jumped up from his seat glaring at the front group.

"We haven't known each other that long, but we already know that his personality is like a shit covered sewage pipe." Kaminari snarked from the front, his smirk directed toward the dog.

"I'LL KILL YOU! WHAT'S WITH THE VOCABULARY YOU STUPID FU-"

"Finish that sentence and I will end you." Weiss said loudly, glaring at the yellow haired boy and the dog. The dog turned his head to glare at her. Weiss had dealt with far scarier people than this bully.

"What a vulgar conversation." Yaoyorozu mumbled with a hand over her mouth. Weiss was inclined to agree with her.

Mr. Aizawa stood from the front corner of the bus he was sleeping in. "Stop messing around. We're here."

The dog broke off eye contact and angrily sat back down in his seat. Another victory, not that Weiss was surprised. Iida gave Mr. Aizawa a salute.

"Yes sir!"

The hero that would be assisting Mr. Aizawa and All Might were already waiting for them by the time the bus parked and everyone disembarked. His physical appearance was completely hidden by a costume that was similar to those astronauts from the documentaries Yu forced Weiss to watch, albeit with yellow boots.

"That's Thirteen, the Space Hero!" Midoriya mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. He started mumbling about the Pro-Heroes achievements. He really needed to learn how to keep his mouth shut, all of that mumbling was distracting.

"Hello everyone, I have been waiting for you." Thirteen said cheerfully. Apparently she was known as one of the top heroes that specialized in rescuing others. "Let us head inside! I'm looking forward to working with you future heroes."

The inside of the building was just as impressive as the outside, with several biomes spread all around the interior. They ranged from a decent sized lake with a ship on it, most likely to practice shipwreck and water based rescues, to landslides, fires, windstorms and so on. Now this was going to be a wonderful experience! There's so much to learn from such an experienced hero!

"This is training ground that I made to help Pro and future heroes deal with accidents and natural disasters!" Thirteen said proudly. She should be, this was a marvel of engineering and planning. "It is called the 'Unforseen Simulation Join', or USJ for short!" Thirteen posed dramatically with her finger in the air.

Mr. Aizawa's ruined Thirteen's moment by casually walked up to her. "Thirteen, where's All Might? He was supposed to meet us here."

The Space Hero whispered something in their homeroom teachers ear, her voice too low for Weiss to catch anything. Did something happen to the Number One hero?

"Anyways.." Mr. Aizawa turned away from Thirteen and gave the class a bored glance. "Let's begin then."

"Before we begin, I would like to say a few things." Thirteen interjected before Mr. Aizawa could continue. Weiss smiled internally. What words of wisdom would the veteran hero give them?

"As some of you may be aware, my quirk, Black Hole, allows me to suck up anything and turn it into dust." Too bad it wasn't the Dust that Weiss needs. Feeling the excitment radiating from the front of the class, Weiss was glad that she didn't end up standing near Midoriya.

"You've saved so many people though!' Midoriya said with a large smile on his face.

Ruby flashed Weiss a large grin before pulling her into a tight embrace.

Ignoring the shaking in her right hand, Weiss took a deeo breath. This wasn't Remnant, Midoriya wasn't Ruby, she hasn't even had a full conversation with him! She planned on keeping it that way.

"Yes, but the point I'm trying to make is that powerd can also easily kill people." Thirteen's glance bounced around the class, staying on Weiss a bit longer than the others. "I'm sure some of you have quirks like that right?"

Very true, Midoriya was able to break every bone in his body, the dog was able to cause explosions with his hands, and Todoroki was capable of freezing an entire building in less than a minute.

"Please remember that quirks can easily kill with one misstep, so self control is needed." Thirteen continued as Weiss smirked, giving Mr. Aizawa a side glance. "With Aizawa's fitness test, you were able to find out the limits of your powers, and the possibilities that laid within."

It was Mr. Aizawa's turn to give her a glance.

"And with All Might's combat training, you've seen the dangers of using your powers on others." Thirteen's voice turned emotional. "Here, you shall learn how to save others, not to harm other people, but to save their lives."

Thirteen was such a wise teacher. She would have been a better homeroom teacher.

"I hope you leave here with that understanding." Thirteen bowed. "Thank you all for listening!" The only thing missing was someone screaming Plus Ultra. The class erupted into applause, Weiss included.

"Now that that's over, first we're going to-" Mr. Aizawa was cut off by the lights in the roof short-circuiting.

Suddenly, a purple mist enveloped the center of the USJ, by the fountain centerpiece. In the center of the purple mist, were two evil yellow 'eyes'. Weiss took a step back, her indifferent mask starting to break.

"Gather together and don't move!" Mr. Aizawa shouted as he grabbed part of his scarf, turning to face the fountain. "Thirteen, protect the students!"

Weiss' face froze. Protection? She didn't need protection. Her sword hand also started to shake as a figure stepped out of the mist, with hands decorting his plain clothing. More figured stepped out besides him, ranging from hetereomorphics to those who looked 'normal'.

"Is this part of the lesson?" Weiss heard someone ask.

"Don't move!' Mr. Aizawa's voice shot out not even a second later. More and more people were appearing from the mist-like portal. Some of them were wearing-

Oh no. Even from far away Weiss would know those shirts, her shirts. Some of them had an large red X on them, with others disfiguring her image or logo. One even had a cheap white wig on their head. What were they? Weiss felt her breathing start to slow.

"This isn't a test, those are real villains." Mr. Aizawa said. "And they're attacking right when we're supposed to be in training."

Another figure stepped through the portal, much larger than those around it. Gripping Myrtenaster's handle carefully, Weiss' hand finally stopped shaking.

Beacon wouldn't fall a second time.

Weiss was on the verge of falling asleep when a knock at the door interrupted her. After a long journey from Atlas, which included crash landing after dealing with a swarm of Lancers, and being held for ransom by a wandering group of bandits, whose leader just happened to be Yang's Mom, Weiss was exhausted. Sliding off of the bed in the rented house that Qrow managed to obtain, Weiss slowly walked over to the door. Whoever it was must have a good reason for waking her up in the middle of the night! They were going to Haven Academy tomorrow.

Opening the door slightly, Weiss was greeted to the sight of beautiful silver eyes.

"Hey." Ruby gave her a smile, one that Weiss easily returned. It had been close to a year since they had last seen each other, and they were now different people. That much was obvious by Ruby's physical growth. Weiss could see how she was related to Yang, especially with the pajamas she currently wore.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping with Yang. I'm sure you two have a lot to catch up on." Weiss smirked as she leaned against the doorway, crossing her arms which caused the sleeping shirt she borrowed from Ruby to expose part of her stomach. The pajama pants were Yang's, and were a few sizes too big and long for Weiss.

"Yeah, but she's snoooring so I won't be able to get any sleep." Ruby complained softly, careful enough to not wake anyone.

Weiss smiled and started to close the door. "Good night Ruby."

The dark haired girl stuck her leg in the gap, her aura protecting her from any bruising. "Wait!" Weiss opened the door again with a raised eyebrow. Ruby held a pillow she had brought and stared at the ground with a slight blush on her face.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Ruby squeaked as she held the pillow even closer. She was so cute.

"Of course. All you had to do was ask." Weiss opened the door enough to allow Ruby to enter. Closing the door behind the dark haired girl, Weiss walked back to her borrowed bed and laid on it. She gave Ruby, who was still standing by the door, a head tilt. "What are you doing over there?" She patted the empty space to her side.

"Yay!" In a blur of roses, Ruby basically jumped onto the bed, and not even a few seconds later, the two were holding each other close, Ruby's head in the crook of Weiss' neck. She mumbled something under her breath.

"Hm? What did you say?" Weiss said with a small blush forming on her face, her arms wrapped around the scythe wielder.

"Are you worried about tomorrow?" Ruby said softly.

"Of course not. I'm sure everything will be fine." Weiss brushed a bang that blocked Ruby's eyes. "We're Team RWBY after all. With you as our fearless leader, anything is possible."

"Hehe you're so silly Weiss." Ruby sounded tired. "Can you sing me a lullaby? Like you used to?"

"Mhm." Weiss hummed. "I have a new one for you."

Ruby mumbled something that sounded like a yay. Weiss started to sing softly, just loud enough for Ruby to hear.

"There's a garden, where I go, if you meet me there no one will know…"

Everything would be just fine.

No-no-no, this couldn't be happening. Why did villains want to keep ruining her life?! They had taken everything from her, her home, her world, her friends, her team, her family, and…Ruby. Weiss hated them, villains, criminals and evil-doers. Not even in this new world could they leave her alone, even attacking them in the middle of training. Villains never changed, and they never learned. Weiss wouldn't make the same mistakes she did before.

Thankfully, Weiss made sure that Myrtenaster was stocked up on Dust in the event that she needed it, and her two earrings could be used in an emergency as well. Was it dangerous having Dust for earrings? Perhaps, but they would be useful should the need arise.

"Just Eraserhead and Thirteen?" One of the villains said loudly, his voice echoing. "The teacher's schedule said All Might would be here too. How disappointing. I've brought all of these red shirts with me too."

The crowd of villains started approaching. Personally, the ones wearing her defaced merchandise creeped her out a bit, bit they would fall just like the Grimm.

"Damn it. I wonder if the Symbol of Peace would come running if we killed some brats. Might as well since we're already here." Their leader must've been the one with the hands, since he was the first one to step out of the mist portal. That and he was flanked by the exposed brain with a bird face and the mist with yellow eyes.

Mr. Aizawa stood at the forefront of the class with weird yellow goggles covering his eyes, and his scarf now ready for battle.

"There's no way they broke into a hero school!" Someone exclaimed. What an idiot, anything was possible. Weiss had learned that the hard way.

"Wait a minute, did the trespasser alarms come on?"

"As a matter of fact, no." Thirteen said while keeping an eye on the approaching crowd. Weiss gripped Myrtenaster's hilt even tighter. She could take all of them down, they didn't have aura. It would take just a few minutes, even shorter if she used time dilation.

"That means that they have someone with a quirk who can disable it." Someone else said. Weiss didn't see, or pay enough attention to see who.

There was no way Weiss was going to let anyone else die. A huntress may retreat, but they do not flee. A huntsman may be in ambush, but they don't hide. Weiss may experience victory or defeat, life or death, but she does cease to serve the people.

"Thirteen, start the evacuation and call the school." Mr. Aizawa said, his hidden eyes scanning the approaching villains. It took all of Weiss' self control to stop herself from striking first, but she also wasn't about to go in blind. "Kaminari, try using your quirk to call the school."

"But Sir! Are you going to try fighting all of them by yourself?" Midoriya exclaimed, mucus dripping from his nose. He must be a crier. "Even if you can erase their quirk, you're known for capturing villains after erasing their power."

"A hero must always have more than a few tricks up their sleeves." Mr. Aizawa's voice was no longer bored or sleepy. "I'll leave them in your care, Thirteen." He didn't even bother turning to look at the Space Hero.

Suddenly, Mr. Aizawa jumped, heading straight to the crowd of villains. Weiss bit the inside of her cheek. She wanted to fight, needed to, but Mr. Aizawa said to stay with Thirteen. Mr. Aizawa was suddenly in the middle of the crowd, dodging strikes from heteromorphic and 'normal' villains, all while using his capture scarf to swing the criminals around.

"Let's go, children." Thirteen said, leading the class back towards the exit. Weiss hesitated only for a second. Making sure Kyouka and Mina were out of harm's way would be her first priority.

"Stop staring, you idiot and move!" Weiss seethed as she glared at the Green Idiot who's attention was focused on Mr. Aizawa. Midoriya jumped briefly, but nodded and rejoined the class.

Then, a purple vortex formed on the ground in front of Thirteen, a wall of purple mist rising from it.

"Good afternoon, it's a pleasure to meet you all." The mist said, its voice deep and unnatural. "We are the league of villains."

The Dust chamber in Myrtenaster slowly started to rotate. Weiss wouldn't be able to make a move with so many of her classmates around. Who knew what the criminal was capable of?

"I hope you don't mind that we invited ourselves in, so that All Might, the World Symbol of Peace may be able to take his last breath."

They wanted to kill All Might? What kind of idiots were they?

"He was supposed to be here too. Was there a schedule change?" The criminal asked politely.

"Yeah! It's called fuc-'' The dog started to say before Kirishima covered his mouth with a hardened hand.

The criminal was about to speak when the two idiots charged again, with the dog causing a large explosion that sent dust everywhere. Weiss wanted to tear the two of them apart. Doing a preemptive strike when you didn't know what they were capable of was dangerous. If the villain had Yang's semblance, he would have been able to deliver that damage back several fold.

"Oh dear, now that's dangerous. Still, I have a job to complete." The villain said sarcastically.

Thirteen pointed a finger at the mist. "Kids! Get out of the way!"

"My job is to scatter you all! I hope you enjoy the afterlife."

The purple mist quickly enveloped the class, and the next thing Weiss saw was the ground rushing up to meet her. Landing on a glyph, Weiss took a deep breath. What the hell? That happened so fast!

"Well, well, well, look who we have here." A nasty voice interrupted her thoughts. Weiss looked around her surroundings. That criminal sent her into a forest full of other dirty lowlifes.

One stepped forward, a red X that looked like blood splattered on a shirt with Weiss' name om it. With a feral grin that showed several rows of teeth, he spoke again.

"Looks like Idol is on the menu today."

Mr. Aizawa was going to regret asking her to stop holding back.

"Straighten your back." A wooden stick smacked Weiss' back, causing her to stand straight, a sting causing pain to lance through her body.

"Your legs are too far apart." Another slight smack to her legs forced her to change her stance, Weiss' fencing pants protecting her just a little bit. Her aura hadn't been unlocked yet, so she felt the full brunt of each hit.

"You are gripping the handle too tightly. You'll just damage your hands at that rate and you'll lose control of the blade." This time, Winter didn't smack her arm or hands, much to Weiss' relief.

"I'm sorry." Weiss whispered. Her legs were tired from ballet practice, and she had ice skating once she was done with Winter, who decided to take over for her fencing instructor for today. She was hungry, her stomach sending pangs of pain throughout her body, but her ballet instructor said she was too fat. Father agreed as well, not verbally, but Weiss could see it in his eyes. She needed to be perfect if she was to be his successor.

"Don't apologize, you're a Schnee." Winter said sharply, dressed in the Atlesian Military Academies uniform. This was the first time she returned home since she left, and Weiss had to beg her to stay. "What has your fencing instructor been teaching you? Am I going to need to talk to them?" Winter's face was harsher, no longer the sister that Weiss used to know, but that wouldn't stop Weiss from loving her. Big Sister was amazing! Weiss wished she could be like her one day.

"No!" Weiss held her hands behind her back. "I'll practice more." She would have to fit that in between ballet, ice skating, and singing practice. That wasn't even mentioning the lessons Father was giving her on running the company. There would be no rest for the eleven year old.

Winter's face softened just a little before holding up a simple practice saber, made for slashing, the opposite of the practice rapier that Weiss held in her left hand. The portrait of Grandfather felt like it was staring at the Schnee sisters in the middle of their mansion's gym. Suits of armor similar to the one Grandfather wore were decorated around the room.

"Let's see how much you've learned in a year." Winter said, entering a simple stance with the saber aimed at Weiss, it wasn't a fencing stance. That must've been the one she was practicing at the Academy!

Entering her own unsteady stance, Weiss took a deep breath as Winter spoke in the old Mantle dialect. Weiss hardened her gaze. She would do her best to make Winter proud.

"En Garde, prêtes, allez!"

Weiss wanted to laugh out loud, but instead she found a hoarse chuckle escaping her lips. With roughly twenty to thirty thugs surrounding her, anyone would assume that she automatically list, just like the lead speaker with her defaced shirt thought.

"I'm so goddamn tired of hearing your whiny ass voice everywhere." Another voice shouted from the crowd of thugs that slowly started to encircle her. Good, let them keep talking. Myrtenaster's Dust chamber stopped moving, landing on the electricity Dust. It wasn't even worth using it on these imbeciles, even if she could be done with all of them within seconds if she used time dilation.

"I've been wanting to do this for so long-" Defaced shirt guy started to speak, posing with a fist in his hand, when Weiss formed a glyph beneath her feet that launched her straight towards him. A slash directed toward his arms, and a small line of blood spurting out in the air later, he fell to the ground in pain. He would live, even without any aura.

"Get her!" Someone with a deep voice shouted.

Four heteromorphic criminals charged towards her, their appearances ranging from rock octopuses to giant swollen muscles. Forming a line of glyphs, Weiss slid towards them, rapidly thrusting Myrtenaster into their weak spots in their joints, and gracefully dancing in between their blows, not a single hit landing on her. They fell to the ground defeated not even a few seconds later.

Some woman with an oversized katana charged at Weiss, her blade held high in the air ready to slice Weiss into pieces, its metal shining with blye electricity. Weiss threw Myrtenaster at her, catching the woman off guard as the Multi-Action Dust Rapier pierced her side, causing her to fall to her knees, her katana causing a clatter as it hit the ground. Grabbing Myrtenaster from the woman's body, Weiss smirked.

"Yaaaa!" A 'normal' villain shouted as they attempted to hit Weiss in the face with a haymaker. Dodging at the last second, and with a swing from Myrtenaster, they found that their fist was no longer connected to the rest of their body, streaks of red dripping from Myrtenaster, onto the ground. Screaming in pain as the villain stared at their missing hand, Weiss punched him with the gauntlet on her right hand, knocking him out.

Another tried sweeping Weiss' legs out from under her, but a quick jump and a well directed thrust towards both of his legs later would ensure he wouldn't be able to chase after her.

"Does anyone else want a turn?" Weiss said harshly as she glared at the shocked crowd, the fight lasting less than half a minute. Wasting Dust on them wouldn't be worth it, and she could have held back a bit more since none of them had aura.

"Y-You can't do this! You're an Idol!" A frightened woman said, her fist looking like blocks of metal. These criminals were pretty incompetent. Did they just grab them off the street?

"Heroes don't kill!" Another one shouted as they took a step back. Huh, it must've looked like she killed them judging by the amount of blood. They were still alive since their chests kept rising and falling.

"Those who kill, must be prepared to be killed." Weiss took a step towards them, swinging Myrtenaster, which sent drops of red onto the ground of the forest, and a few onto her outfit. "Isn't that why you're all here? To kill us? To lure All Might here so you can kill him?" The crowd remained silent as a few stepped forward, ready to fight.

"And besides, I'm not a hero." Weiss took a deep breath as she formed glyphs all around them, the Dust chamber switching to ice. It would be a waste, but Weiss needed to end the fight quickly. She needed to find the others. The criminals seemed unnerved as numerous glyphs surrounded them like a wall. She aimed Myrtenaster at the crowd.

"I'm a huntress."

She needed to find Kyouka and Mina.

Fighting was second nature to Weiss, instilled in her by her fencing instructor, and whenever Father allowed her to go and hunt small Grimm on the outskirts of Mantle, with an escort of course. By the time she was finally able to apply to Beacon, Myrtenaster had become an extension of her body. When Father made her return to Atlas, she was already a seasoned huntress-in-training, having faced off against hordes of Grimm, White Fang terrorist, and fought in the Fall of Haven against the both of them, plus those traitious Atlesian androids.

So far, none of these criminals proved themselves to be a real challenge. Leaving them in the frozen block of ice, Weiss formed another glyph beneath her feet that launched her into the air. She formed more mid-air, using them to jump to the next one. The fountain! She needed to head to the fountain, that's the last place she saw Mr. Aizawa!

There were too many biomes to search for Kyouka and Mina, so she could regroup with the others to search for them once they defeated those weak criminals. Forming a vertical glyph, Weiss launched herself through the air, forming others that allowed her to keep gliding, her battle dress and off center ponytail ruffling in the wind, ready to assist her teacher and classmates.

This would be easy.

Weiss was losing, there was no denying it. Even with her years of training, and honing her semblance, she stood no chance against the full might of the Spring Maiden, especially one that was an experienced bandit. Stupid Branwen tribe, stupid traitous Lionheart! They could have worked together to defeat Cinder and Salem, but they chose to be criminals. Weiss hated them! But most of all, Weiss hated herself for being so weak. That still wouldn't stop her from doing her best. She wouldn't disappoint her Team, disappoint the remnants of Team JNPR, and especially not herself.

Weiss dodged a strike from the Spring Maiden's crescent blades, and parried a swing, using her glyphs to launch herself in the opposite direction of the bandit. Running a finger along Myrtenaster's blade as the Dust chamber rotated, the ancient Atlesian etching on the blade came to life, turning the blade orange.

"Hyah!" Weiss swang Myrtenaster, unleashing a wave of flames directed towards her opponent. Vernal jumped back casually, avoiding the flames. She responded by firing a volley of bullets, forcing Weiss to form a glyph, the Dust chamber rotating to ice. A wall of ice rose from the glyph, providing her some measure of cover.

There was only one way Weiss could change the tide. Aiming the tip of Myrtenaster's blade towards the ground in front of her, a glyph appeared, one decorated with images of a very familiar sword. The Arma Gigas, the very one that gave Weiss her signature scar could help to turn the tide! The glyph parted like a door as armored arms started to pull themselves out.

It was half-formed when a yellow laser sliced through the ice wall, decapitating the weakened summon.

"Damn it!" Weiss muttered, barely raising Myrtenaster in time to block another swing from the bandit. Vernal's evil blue eyes stared into Weiss' own as their weapons locked together.

"Did you really think I was going to let you take the easy way out, Schnee?" The ugly woman growled. Weiss narrowed her eyes and formed a black glyph beneath her, launching herself away from the Spring Maiden.

Vernal threw one of her crescent blades, forcing Weiss to form another glyph to deflect it midair. She caught her weapon easily, and started spraying bullets in Weiss' direction. Landing gracefully on the ground, Weiss launched herself back into the air, using Myrtenaster to deflect several bullets, and used her glyphs to dodge those that she couldn't.

Launching herself away from Vernal again, Weiss landed on the ground, stabbing it just barely with Myrtenaster. The summoning glyph returned, an arm was formed when Vernal struck, her crescent blades slicing through the half-formed arm and locking with Myrtenaster.

"You should have focused on fighting me instead of trying that again, you one trick beowolf." Vernal's feral grin would forever be locked into Weiss' nightmares. She fired a barrage of lasers straight at Weiss' chest, sending her flying through the air.

She struck the ground hard, shattering her aura as pain suddenly flooded her body. Gritting her teeth, Weiss forced herself to her knees, using Myrtenaster to assist her. She was definitely going to be feeling that when this was over, or at least until her aura returned.

"No!" Weiss heard Jaune scream from across the commons, his voice pained. Before Weiss could even turn around, she gasped in pain. Something had pierced her side, each breath causing Weiss to wince and shiver from the pain. Looking down at the golden spear that had impaled her, Weiss felt like screaming, but no noise escaped her throat.

The golden spear disappeared, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in her side, with drops of her blood falling onto the ground. The ground rushed up to meet her.

'I'm sorry Ruby.'

The crowd of villains by the water fountain had thinned by the time Weiss arrived, using her glyphs to jump through the air. With most of them laying on the ground unconscious, it seemed that Mr. Aizawa was more competent than Weiss had given him credit for. He was engaged in sharp hand-to-hand combat with the guy with a hand on his face. Using another glyph to soften her landing, Weiss rotated Myrtenaster's Dust chamber silently. What type of Dust would be necessary here?

Mr. Aizawa disengaged from Handman, his elbow crumbling and bloody. Could that be the Handman's quirk? A handful of surviving thugs surrounded him as he took several deep breaths. It seemed that Handman was in the middle of a monologue, how cliche.

"Isn't this different from your usual job, Rogue?" Handman said with his actual hands on the ground. "Your stats are for short fights after a surprise attack right? You're out of your element here."

Handman's head suddenly turned to her sharply. "The Bard? How did you get here!?" Mr. Aizawa also turned to look at her though he hid his confusion much better than Handman. Then, the thugs surrounding him used that moment to charge. Weiss used a glyph as a launchpad, heading straight towards the group of thugs.

Mr. Aizawa kicked one in the head, using his scarf to wrap up their body just as Weiss' blade pierced the shoulder of another thug. Another swing later left them on the ground bleeding. Mr. Aizawa ignored her as he turned to face Handman, after a punch to the neck of another criminal.

"You guys are so cool." Handman said cheerfully. "Sadly, I'm not the final boss here." His voice darkened. "Nomu, get Eraserhead, don't kill him yet though. I'll handle the Bard."

A rush of black slammed into Mr. Aizawa, pinning him to the ground in an instant, just as Handman started running towards Weiss.

"You maxed out the wrong stats Mirror Singer." Handman reached out one of his hands, his insane eyes visible behind the hand mask.

"Don't call me that." Weiss mumbled as she jumped backwards, avoiding his hand, and swung Myrtenaster towards his outreached arm. The world seemed to slow as they made contact.

Weiss' sharp blade sliced a finger off, causing Handman to shriek in pain. The Dust chamber rotated to electricity.

"AHHHHHH!" Handman stared at his bleeding hand, breathing deeply. He shouted an order before Weiss could swing again. "Make her suffer Nomu!" So he gave the commands here.

The bird beast with an exposed brain instantly left the downed Mr. Aizawa's body, and charged towards her. Weiss' eyes widened. Oh shit, it's too fast!

"Time dilation!" Weiss activated her yellow clock glyphs, causing time around her to slow down, allowing her to seem faster to the naked eye. The beast Handman called Nomu was still coming at her fast, but it was slightly slower than before. Dodging a lazy strike at the last second, Weiss narrowed her eyes.

She had fought monsters before, human and unnatural monsters in the Grimm. She had killed all types of Grimm, faced terrorist, bandits, rogue androids, but never something like this. Nomu was faster than any Grimm she faced before. Weiss could feel the power radiating from Nomu. Forming several glyphs around them, Weiss rapidly thrusted Myrtenaster into the beast's joints, her blade piercing its skin just barely. She used the vertical glyphs to launch herself back at the Nomu, piercing its skin before repeating with the other glyphs.

The wounds healed near instantly, even with Weiss using time dilation to make herself move faster. Her eyes widened again, she had never seen this kind of power before! Even the Maidens could regenerate like that! The Nomu didn't even seem to notice them as it launched another punch. Weiss barely dodged it, even with her speed boost. Ending time dilation before she ran out of electricity Dust, Weiss jumped backwards, avoiding the Nomu striking the ground, turning the section she was just on into rubble. A single hit from Nomu looked like it could shatter her aura! She would have to be careful, it was able to keep up with her, even with time dilation, but it was all power and no skill.

Myrtenaster's Dust chamber switched to ice. She didn't have as much as she did before, having wasted it on the useless thugs from before. Now was as good a time as any to use it all up. Stabbing the ground with a glyph just as the Nomu charged, ice sprouted from the ground, wrapping itself around the deformed beast, trapping it.

"Ahahaha, do you think that's going to stop Nomu!" Handman screamed as he sat on his knees, cradling his hand. Weiss ignored him and turned her eyes to Mr. Aizawa. Asu, Midoriya Mineta were attempting to carry him away, with Mr. Aizawa on Green boy's back, good. She didn't need them slowing her down.

Taking a deep breath as the ice surrounding Nomu was starting to crack, Weiss formed another glyph, one that she hadn't used in a long time. The snowflake-like glyph was decorated with swords, and the royal symbol of the Schnee household. The vertical glyph started to part like a doorway as Weiss closed her eyes.

"You want to become a huntress?" Father said coldly, his eyes harsh and full of disgust. Weiss nodded slowly, her eyes meeting the ground. "First Winter and now you? Do you think I've been teaching you how to run the company just so you can go off and kill monsters?" Father's voice was bitter.

"I wish to bring honor to the family, Father. Just as Grandfather did when he went out to hunt the Grimm." Weiss said carefully. She had been practicing for this moment for weeks now, waiting for Father to be in a good mood. It seemed that she miscalculated.

"Yes, yes, I'm quite aware of your Grandfather's eccentricities." Father's hands were closed. "At least you're not thinking of applying to Atlas Academy. I don't need another second Winter that's under Ironwood's thumb, but at least there you would be able to create connections."

"Beacon Academy is known for producing the best huntsman." Weiss insisted. "And I can use what I learn to hunt down the filthy faunus that keep attacking our properties!"

Father's white mustache twitched, he then formed a smirk. Weiss didn't like the look of that.

"Very well, I shall allow you to attend on one condition." Father's demeanor changed, but Weiss could tell that his smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Yes?" Weiss lifted her head sharply. Father was going to let her go?! Would she finally be able to escape his grasp?!

"As I'm sure you're aware, the SDC has been experimenting with suits of armor with the Atlesian Military in a collaboration with Merlot Industries." Father stood up from his desk and walked over to an armor stand that held Grandfather's ancient armor. "We just recently had a breakthrough, by using possession Grimm that were recently found in a cave far from Mantle."

Weiss' eyes widened in shock. They were experimenting with Grimm? The very creatures that wanted to exterminate all of humankind?!

"By using it to control a mech suit that's vastly stronger than the suit of armor in the Schnee Family museum, it will change the future of warfare forever once its trials are complete." Father continued.

"Why are you telling me this, Father?" Weiss said, holding her hands together. Even as the heiress, there were many projects that Weiss wasn't privy to knowing.

"I want you to fight it."

What?

"Father?" Weiss started before she was cut off.

"Defeat the mech and I shall allow you to attend Beacon Academy." Father turned back towards her, his smirk still on his face. "That is, unless you wish to give up on this insane idea of yours."

Weiss shook her head. "No! I'll do it, I'll fight." She swallowed the saliva that had built up in her throat.

"Excellent. You shall be its first combat subject. I shall schedule it for tomorrow." Father walked back towards his desk and stared at her. "Just let me know when you want to give up."

Weiss took a deep breath and nodded, staring back without flinching. She hated him, but she loved him at the same time. Weiss hated herself, what kind of daughter didn't love their Father? The hate was starting to outgrow the love she once had for him. "I won't give up."

Father shrugged and spun around in his seat. "You are dismissed."

Weiss bowed respectfully and started walking towards the exit, when Father suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, just so you know, it's called the Arma Gigas."

Weiss heard the ice surrounding Nomu shatter, and a rush of wind heading straight towards her, when she heard a loud thud. Opening her eyes slowly, they suddenly turned into pinpoints. Standing right in between Nomu and herself was the Arma Gigas, its white armor shining in the manmade sunlight of the USJ, its large blade just barely blocking Nomu's fist. The blade was already bent, showing off just how strong the Nomu was. It would clearly win if the fight dragged on any longer than it should.

"Hey! Now that's cheating!" Handman started complaining like a baby when the purple mist reappeared next to him. Nomu didn't move as the two had a short conversation, Weiss couldn't hear with how loud her heart was beating. "Fuck that, we're killing the kids!"

He charged towards Asui and Mineta, who had fallen behind Midoriya who was still struggling to carry Mr. Aizawa away, dripping blood from his missing finger as he went. Mineta started throwing his balls, but Handman dodged them easily.

"No!" Weiss shouted as she formed a line of glyphs, Myrtenaster's Dust chamber starting to rotate, when a loud noise came from the entrance, a cloud of dust came from the large doors, the shadow of a tall figure easily visible, even from as far away as the water fountain. That caused everyone to pause and turn, even the criminals.

The dust settled as the figure reached the top of the stairs. Standing there as the dust cloud swirled around him was the Symbol of Peace! Shining like a beacon of hope, and dressed in a fine white shirt, blue tie and yellow striped pants with his suit jacket in hand, Weiss could feel the intensity coming from him. He threw his jacket to the side, his face no longer having his signature grin, instead replaced by a serious look.

"It's fine now…"

Weiss' breath was caught in her throat as All Might's loud voice sounded throughout the USJ. Not even the Maidens were as impressive as he was.

"Because I AM HERE!"

Toshinori was late. That was it, having used up most of his time with One for All today on his way to school, using it to help the people, whether they needed their cat saved from a tree, or helping a young group of Pro-Heroes to save a rich family from a villain that held them hostage. All Might was the World Symbol of Peace, the Number One Hero, it was his duty to fight, save, and rescue those who needed help. He wished he could do more, but all he could do now was do his best to guide Young Midoriya, and continue to persevere even as the last embers of One for All slowly left him.

He sighed softly and leaned back against the couch. At least he managed to help others, it was instinctive. Wherever people needed help, All Might was there! Still, that didn't mean he should allow his teaching to be interrupted, regardless of what happened outside of his work hours. Toshinori gave his phone a glance. Thirteen and Aizawa weren't picking up for some reason, which meant that they must be extremely busy. Perhaps he should go and say a few words of encouragement? He had about ten minute left in his alternate form. Yes, that sounded like a plan.

Allowing the power of One For All to surge through his body, Toshinori's loose fitting suit no longer hung off of his body, his transformed form filling it perfectly.

"Time to go-" All Might formed his signature grin and was about to leave when the door opened, and a small figure stepped in.

"Principal Nezu!" Toshinori felt himself cough up some blood, immediately wiping it with one of his many handkerchiefs. He sat back down on the couch to be able to see the shorter Hero face to face. He still towered over him seated.

"Yes! It is me! Am I a mouse? A dog? How about a bear!" Principal Nezu said cheerfully, his white muzzle having a large grin. "If you answered any one of those you are wrong! For I am the principal!"

"Hello sir! Your fur is well groomed today, as usual." All Might said, just as cheerful. Nezu was a good person.

"I'll let you in on my secret." Principal Nezu's enthusiasm was contagious. "It's Keratin. Humans just can't get this time of color and shine, even with Mt. Lady's newest conditioner, but we can discuss that later." The Principal pulled out a tablet out of nowhere.

"I hear that you've been rather busy today, solving three incidents in less than an hour." Uh-oh, Toshinori already knew where this was heading.

"You really haven't changed, have you?" Principal Nezu said with a smile. "Still, you can't solve every incident you come across. That's why we're here to train the next generation of top Pro-Heroes, including your successor."

Toshinori returned to his original form, a hard look on his face.

"In order to remain the Symbol of Peace, which you insisted on, was to come teach at UA to find your successor." Principal Nezu turned to look at Toshinori, his cheerfulness never leaving him. "I suggest resting up a bit longer." He started crawling up onto the couch across from Toshinori.

"Please try to prioritize your classes. There are plenty of Hero agencies in the area, so don't try to run yourself ragged!" Nezu served himself a cup of tea.

"You're right." Toshinori spoke carefully. "That's why I was planning on heading over to the USJ right now."

"Even if you left right now, you're almost out of time for today. You would have to return as quickly as you left." Nezu took a small sip of his tea. "Let me ask you a few questions as you relax."

"Of course, sir." Toshinori said, the muscles in his throat flexing nervously.

Principal Nezu placed his teacup and saucer back on the table.

"What do you know about Miss Schnee?"

Schnee? Aside from her music and the one time he personally spoke to her, the two hadn't interacted much. Her answers to his questions seemed to come from the heart, but that didn't erase the fact that she might be one of All For One's agents. That villain would stop at nothing to get his revenge, even from the grave. Was she acting on orders given before his death? Toshinori didn't know, he only had speculation and no evidence aside from how strong she was. A girl her age with such a versatile quirk? Toshinori gave the results of Aizawa's physical test a glance, and there was no way a girl her age and size could be physically that strong when it came to grip strength. Something about her was off putting.

"I know that she sings very well, sir." Toshinori said, which earned him a laugh from Nezu.

"I must agree with you, but haven't you noticed anything else about her? The lyrics to her songs, her demeanor, the way she holds herself as she heads to class?" Nezu grabbed his tea and took another sip. "How about the way she fights?"

He saw the recordings? Was the Principal having the same thoughts as Toshinori was?

Nezu finished his tea and jumped off of the couch. "I shall leave you with these questions to ponder. Thank you for the tea! I'll let you head off to your class now. I'm sure you would go even if I told you not to."

"Enjoy the rest of your day, Sir." Toshinori said as Nezu left the room without another word. Transforming himself back into All Might, and allowing muscle memory to form his grin, Toshinori was ready to join Class 1-A at the USJ!

He ran into Iida on his way out.

Izuku felt his breath become trapped in his throat. Shortly after that Purple-Mist villain teleported him away from the entrance, he found himself drowning in water, until As-uh Tsuyu saved him and Mineta. After some quick thinking and teamwork, the trio now found themselves back on dry land, hidden behind a ditch as they observed Mr. Aizawa fight a group of thugs, with more lying unconscious on the ground.

"Stop touching you, you heathen! The only girl I have in my life is our glorious Queen Weiss Schnee." Mineta whispered angrily as he glared at Tsuyu, who stared back with a deadpan expression on her face.

"You bumped into me, ribbit." Tsuyu said accusingly. Mineta seemed like he was going to fire back a rebuttal, but Izuku covered his mouth with a gloved hand. They didn't need to attract the other villain's attention while they weren't prepared. Aside from their one combat class with All Might, they had no experience! They got lucky back at the ship, so they would need to be smarter here.

A shadow flew over them, and landed close to the group of villains, just as Mr. Aizawa was fighting with who seemed to be the leader. Turning his eyes to the newcomer, Izuku's eyes widened. Schnee? What was she doing here? How did she get here so fast? Her quirk was so interesting?! Izuku wondered how it worked-

Izuku lightly slapped his cheek. No, it wasn't time for that. He could ask her questions later once they made it out of here alive. Still, that sword of hers was interesting, and he didn't get to see what her quirk was exactly since he was in the nurse's office with Recovery Girl after his battle ended.

"The Goddess has returned! We must assist her-" Mineta was cut off when Schnee launched herself forward, thrusting her blade into one of the criminals that had surrounded Mr. Aizawa while Izuku was thinking.

Izuku held Mineta back as the shorter boy tried climbing up the slight slope. "Shhh, we'll just get in the way. We need to come up with a plan first!"

"B-But Queen needs us!" Mineta tried forcing himself out of Izuku's grip, and failed. He didn't spend all that time training his body into peak physical condition for no reason!

"Ribbit, Midoriya is right ya know." Tsuyu added. That seemed to calm Mineta, albeit grudgingly. They turned their attention back to Mr. Aizawa and Schnee.

"-not the final boss here." The villain leader said cheerfully. "Nomu, get Eraserhead, don't kill him yet though. I'll handle the Bard."

The villain with the exposed brain immediately rushed Mr. Aizawa, moving way faster than their homeroom teacher, and slammed him into the ground, its large hand on Mr. Aizawa's head. Its other hand grabbed one of Mr. Aizawa's arms and squeezed, a loud crunch filling the air. Izuku's eyes turned into pinpoints. Just how strong was that thing?!

Any further line of thought was interrupted by a blood curdling scream, and a spray of red liquid. Izuku forced his eyes away from Mr. Aizawa and turned to Schnee, a finger lying on the ground not far from where she was, the Hand villain clutching one of his bleeding hands. Schnee was about to swing again when the villain shouted again.

"Make her suffer Nomu!"

The bird-faced villain rushed Schnee, leaving Mr. Aizawa on the ground, bloodied and defeated.

"Time dilation!" Schnee shouted, and she turned into a blur of white that danced around Nomu. Snowflakes formed around them, a white blur bouncing in between, with a black blur appearing causing a black and white coloration.

"Let's get Mr. Aizawa out of here!" Izuku said, tearing his eyes away. He would definitely need to study Schnee's quirk later. Tsuyu and Mineta nodded, starting their dash towards their fallen homeroom teacher.

Schnee appeared out of nowhere, landing on one of her snowflakes, which then launched her backwards, avoiding a strike from Nomu that turned the ground she was just on into rubble.

"Mr. Aizawa! Are you ok?" Izuku shouted as he knelt by the fallen hero. He mumbled something that Izuku couldn't catch. "Put him on my back. I'll carry him."

Tsuyu grabbed Mr. Aizawa's smashed arm gently, with Mineta grabbing the other. Eraserhead's blood started to stain Izuku's gym uniform, but the successor to the World Symbol of Peace ignored it.

"Ahahahaha, do you think that's going to stop Nomu!" The Hand-villain screamed, focused on Schnee who had somehow frozen the bird villain in place with ice, a snowflake beneath it. There was no way she had that many quirks! Unless…

"Get going, we'll help you balance." Tsuyu said, holding Mr. Aizawa's legs. Their homeroom teacher was much taller than them, heavier too. Izuku nodded and started walking, almost stumbling on his first step.

"Sorry Mr. Aizawa." Izuku mumbled under his breath as Mineta made sure he didn't slide off of Izuku's back.

A flash of light came from behind, but Izuku pressed onwards. Schnee was buying them time to escape and he wasn't going to waste a single second.

"Hey! Now that's cheating!" Someone shrieked. Mr. Aizawa mumbled something else, but Izuku was too busy to hear exactly what he said. His legs burned, his back felt drenched with blood, but Izuku pressed onward.

Be strong and hit stuff.

That was what Schnee sang right? Izuku had memorized that song while cleaning up the beach. Isn't that what most of the Schnee songs that Izuku likes are about? Keep pushing forward, do your best, and be yourself. Izuku avoided tripping on his own feet.

"Fuck that I'm killing the kids."

"No!" Schnee screamed, causing Izuku to pause and turn his head slightly. The hand villain was running straight towards them, the hand that was missing a finger dripping blood as he ran. Oh no. Gritting his teeth, Izuku tried walking faster, when a loud noise came from the entrance, a large cloud of dust and smoke covering the top of the stairs.

Everyone stopped where they were, including the villains, their eyes turning to the giant cloud. The shadow of a tall figure reached the top of the stairs, with Izuku's breath being caught in his throat.

It was All Might!

"It's fine now…" All Might's voice echoed loudly, a serious look on his normally cheerful face.

"Because I AM HERE!" All Might tore off his blue tie, with an angry look replacing his usual grin.

Everything would be just fine. Izuku released a sigh of relief and WHERE DID THAT GIANT KNIGHT COME FROM?

Weiss didn't release her hold on the Arma Gigas, whose blade barely held back Nomu's fist at bay. Thankfully, the bird-brain villain had stopped moving with All Might's arrival. Myrtenaster's Dust chamber rotated back to electricity. Using this lull in the fighting to prepare herself would be the best move.

"I had a feeling that something weird was going on." All Might said as he approached the stairs, his voice clearly echoing. Weiss had never seen him without his usual grin.

A few thugs had gotten back up, mostly recovered from Mr. Aizawa's attacks. Were they tougher than they looked, or did Weiss overestimate how competent her homeroom teacher was? Either way, they wouldn't be getting back up without help once Weiss was done with them-

All Might jumped from the top of the stairs, disappearing into a blur that slammed into each of the gathered thugs, sending them back into the ground without another word. T-This power! That self control, using just enough to not kill the villains! Weiss had never seen anything like this before.

All Might gave her a brief nod, and sped towards Midoriya, Tsuyu and Mineta, who were still struggling with Mr. Aizawa, and took them into his strong arms. He dropped them off away from Handman.

"Head to the entrance. I'll handle this." All Might said. Without another word, he disappeared into a blur, and he was standing next to Weiss not even a few seconds later.

"Is he on our side?" All Might asked, giving the Arma Gigas a glance. He stepped in front of her, blocking her view of the Handman, while the Arma Gigas blocked Nomu.

"Yes. He'll do whatever I command him to do." Weiss said, standing up slowly. All Might was fast, but how much faster could he go if she used time dilation on him? Or even if she used it to slow down Nomu?

"I see. A two on one has its advantages." All Might said grimly. Nomu had finally backed off, staring down the Arma Gigas and All Might with a blank stare.

"Nomu! Take down the knight then kill All Might!" Handman shrieked, parts of his ripped shirt wrapped around his missing finger.

Nomu rushed the Arma Gigas, which swung its massive blade, cutting into Nomu's shoulder. The beast ignored its wound and started pummeling the summoned body. The Arma Gigas pulled its blade out of Nomu's shoulder and started hacking away, chipping off bits of flesh and limbs. Nomu ignored its mortal wounds as it regenerated, countering the Arma Gigas with its own punches.

"I suggest that you rejoin your classmates." All Might said, his back to Weiss. "You did well Young Schnee, but I shall handle it from here."

Weiss nodded, and turned her attention back to the others. By now, more of their classmates were starting to arrive, several of them assiting Midoriya with Mr. Aizawa. All Might rushed Nomu, and punched it where its kidneys should be. The beast ignored that still as the Arma Gigas carefully swung its blade, avoiding the Symbol of Peace. All Might delivered a mighty punch to Nomu's face, which also didn't faze the monster. A windstorm starting to form from the strength of their punches.

"Ahaahaaa! None of that's going to work. One of his quirks is shock absorption." Handman gloated, the mist villain next to him. Weiss narrowed her eyes and started walking towards them, a line of glyphs forming on the ground towards him. Myrtenaster's Dust chamber switched to wind Dust. The mist man started to shift.

Weiss aimed Myrtenaster at them, and formed another wall of glyphs that surrounded the villains. She wouldn't be able to get close with that teleporting villain there, but she still had her glyphs. A wall of wind surrounded them, forcing the mist man in place.

"No! I can't get close." Misty shouted, their disembodied voice angry. Handman found himself flying in different directions while in the middle of a monologue.

"That's the point, stupid." Weiss growled. She turned her attention back to the fight. By now, the Arma Gigas' blade was snapped in half, its armor dented and battered, but All Might was still going strong. Taking a punch from Nomu head on, All Might returned the favor with one of his own. Suddenly, Nomu twisted its body, and slammed into the Arma Gigas, tearing it apart.

Damn it…

All Might didn't have much time left in this form. He had used most of his time for the day trying to help everyone. Principal Nezu was right, he shouldn't be trying to run himself ragged. He wouldn't be able to save anyone if he continued to do that.

The white knight disappeared in a flash of light, with only the healing chunks of flesh on Nomu's muscular body. It was obvious that it was created to defeat him, after all, that villain said quirks, not quirk. All Might already counted three, its regeneration, its shock absorption, and some type of super strength.

"So, you're able to take One Hundred percent of my power!" All Might grinned, so that the students watching could be reassured. "I guess that means I'll have to go beyond!"

The two started exchanging a flurry of blows, each one of All Might's being a direct hit. Nomu punched him where his old wound was, but Toshinori pushed past the pain, pushed past one hundred percent. The wind around them started to swirl, as All Might felt some of his blood splatter on his cheek. He was a disappointment of a teacher. He should have been here from the very beginning, protecting the children. Schnee had blood stains all over her costume, and who knows how the others were faring.

All Might should have been here earlier, and he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. His power was starting to drain faster than he expected, and he probably only had a few minutes left in this form.

It was time to end the fight, because..

"I am the World Symbol of Peace and Justice!" All Might gritted through his grin. It was his duty to carry everyone's burdens! He increased the strength and intensity of his punches, each one a direct hit, each blow calculated. Nomu matched each of his hits.

"Wooohhooooo! I told you about his shock absorption!" The villain with hands from earlier shouted. He sounded dizzy.

All Might ignored him as a weird yellow snowflake-clock formed beneath his feet, causing Nomu's fists to fly slower than before. A snowflake? Schnee! Just what was her quirk? Nomu's quirk wasn't shock nullification, but shock absorption! That meant that he had a limit, one that All Might needed to surpass! To go beyond!

"I'll just force you to surrender!' All Might's fist were just a blur as they impacted the gouged and skin body that belonged to Nomu. The snowflake-clock beneath him was still working, increasing his speed.

Another punch sent Nomu flying, with All Might jumping in pursuit, his dress shirt now torn.

"A hero keeps fighting no matter the odds!" All Might delivered another haymaker straight into Nomu's face, who had tried charging him. The two grappled each other in the air, and using all of his might, Toshinori threw Nomu to the ground, causing the once flat surface to be turned into rubble.

All Might landed with a thud quickly, just as Nomu was recoiling back into the air.

"I'm sure you may have heard these words before, but I'll remind you if you haven't." All Might channeled the power of One For All into his right fist, the power starting to overflow.

"Go beyond!"

All Might reared his fist, and slammed it into Nomu's chest with everything that he had.

"PLUUUUSSSS ULLLLLTRAAAAAA!"

That sent Nomu flying through the air, slamming into the dome roof of the USJ, and even then that did little to stop its flight. All Might turned to look at the two villains that Schnee had trapped with her snowflakes and narrowed his eyes as steam started to let off from his body, combining with the cloud of dust around him.

"Who's next."
