"Shit." Shinji cursed under his breath as he ran down the street, using his quirk to launch himself out of the crowd, swinging from building to building. He landed on the roof of one of his regular stops and pulled out his phone. Weiss wasn't answering his calls, going straight to voicemail. He looked away for one second, one single second and she decided to disappear! Shinji wasn't born yesterday, which was why he made sure to keep an eye on the short girl the first few times they went out on patrol. He called a different number this time.

"Hello?" Jirou answered. Hopefully Weiss told her friends about what she was planning. His original plan was to keep her distracted while the police taskforce went after the Hero Killer.

"Weiss is gone." Shinji said tensely. "Do you have any idea where she might have gone? Did she share any of her suspicions?"

"None." Jirou sounded bitter. "She acted like everything was fine, and what do you mean she's gone?!" Now her voice sounded worried.

He scanned the rooftops around him, hoping to see a glimpse of white. "I was teaching her how to deal with crowds when out on patrol, and when I looked away for a second she was gone."

Jirou was silent for half a minute before speaking again. "Where did you lose her, I'll go help-"

"Just stay home for now, I'll find her." Shinji didn't need another minor running around and potentially getting killed by Stain. "Let me know if she calls you-" Jirou ended the call without another word.

Shinji started running towards the edge of the rooftop.

"Takeyama's gonna kill me when she wakes up."


The Hero Killer charged at her, jumping while holding his katana high in the air in order to bisect her, but Weiss dodged his swing by taking a few steps backwards, kicking his arm as she did so. She wasn't going to give him the honor of a fair fight, like a cat who toyed with a mouse.

"I shall cleanse this world of your filth." Stain growled as he charged again. He pulled a smaller knife out of one of his many pockets, and threw it. Weiss felt her cheeks heat up in anger, and deflected the blade with Myrtenaster, shattering the cheap metal.

"You should kill yourself while you're at it." Weiss said, her voice full of rage. Stain tried slashing at her repeatedly, only for Weiss to casually move out of the way. She was disappointed, and frustrated. The idol had expected more from the one everyone called 'The Hero Killer'.

Stain lunged forward, only for his katana to meet Myrtenaster's edge as Weiss swung as hard as possible. The Dust chamber rotated until it landed on fire, igniting Myrtenaster's blade the moment the two swords struck. Stain's katana snapped in half, causing Yu's would be murder's eyes to widen. He performed a fade, jumping backwards as he pulled several more knives out.

"I will not die here, only a true hero like All Might may slay me." Stain's eyes darted around the alleyway. Attempting to retreat already? How disgusting.

"I'm not a hero, never claimed to be one." Weiss said dryly as she took a step forward. Dozens of glyphs all around them, and she made the flames on Myrtenaster disappear. "You hunt down heroes who use their status to make money? You hurt Yu, just because of something as stupid as that?"

"True heroes cannot benefit from their status, they must save others no matter the cost, without asking for rewards, not looking to enrich themselves." Stain took a step forward as well. He turned his attention back to Weiss, most likely looking for a weak spot. "Anyone who profits because they claim to be a hero deserves death."

"In another universe I'd agree with most of your points." Myrtenaster's Dust chamber started to rotate again, landing on ice. "Except, money makes the world go round, nothing is ever free."

Weiss aimed Myrtenaster's point straight at the Hero Killer's chest, the surrounding glyphs turning blue as weapons made of ice appeared from them, copies of Milo, Crescent Rose, Gambol Shroud, Crocea Mors and even Yatsuhashi's Fulcrum were all aimed at the pest. "To believe that every hero shouldn't make money somehow is idiotic, and childish."

"The world is full of people who wish to become false heroes for fame and wealth, it is my duty to-"

A copy of Milo launched from a glyph, forcing the Hero Killer to shut up and move out of the way. He ended up with a scratch on his cheek.

"Shut up." This time it was Weiss' turn to growl. If she was Yang, she was sure her eyes would have been red for a long time now. Another weapon launched, this time a Crocea Mors, but Stain was already moving, charging straight at her. Weiss was going to make him suffer, the same way he made Yu suffer.

Death was nothing but a mercy.


Kyouka was exhausted. Her original plan for the evening was going to involve relaxing and catching up on that one comedy about red and blue soldiers forever locked in a war, until Kamui Woods called her.

"Damn it Weiss." Kyouka grumbled as she stuffed her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket. Her earlobes aimed in different directions, trying to hear a trace about her friend, if they were ever even friends. It was late, but there were still people out. Knowing the white haired girl, she wasn't going to be close to Kamui Woods agency building, nor would she be somewhere where people could easily spot her. That also left out Mt. Agency and most of Musutafu-

Suddenly, Kyouka spotted a glimpse of white in the crowd up ahead. Weiss! Kyouka started jogging, weaving in between the other people around her.

"Weiss!" Kyouka shouted, earning her more than a few weird looks. Weiss didn't look back, nor did she acknowledge her. Kyouka frowned and ran up to her. "Hey! Why don't you-"

She placed a hand on her shoulder, which finally made Weiss turn around.

"Uh, who are you?" Not-Weiss asked, her eyes were sapphire just like the idol, but her lips were too big and the scar on her face was obviously made out of makeup. And she was easily a few inches taller than her friend.

"Sorry, I thought you were my friend." Kyouka said awkwardly, bowing slightly. Damn it, she should've known better.

"Oh my God! You thought I was Weiss Schnee! Gojo is going to be so proud!" Not-Weiss beamed as Kyouka quickly walked away. This was so embarrassing.

Once Kyouka was sure she was far enough from the Weiss cosplayer, she pulled her phone out, tapped on the Arbor Heroes contact photo. There was only one other district Weiss could imagine running off to.

"Stay out of this-" Kamui Woods started, even though he had been the one to call her instead of the police.

"I think I know where she's at." Every city had a place where people could vanish into thin air if they wanted to, even here in Musutafu with UA's presence.

The slums.


"Kill for kill, eye for eye, blood for blood it's time to die." Weiss sang darkly as she forced Stain to dance in the alleyway. He was fast, she had to admit, but nothing compared to her. His arms were covered in blood at this point. "Retribution tastes so sweet. Gones the life that he gave, now revenge is all I crave."

Weiss allowed the glyphs to disappear, forming one beneath her feet to launch herself towards the Hero Killer. "Retaliation soon complete. I was nowhere, I had no one, I felt nothing."

Stain tried going around her to escape, but a kick to his abdomen after using another glyph to change her direction forced him back to the ground. "Lost without a voice and on my own."

Stain coughed up a dribble of blood.

"Then a candle flame brought a brand new name…" Weiss choked on her words a bit as she forced him to his feet, using her aura enhanced strength to lift him. He grabbed another knife from his boots and slammed it into her neck.

"Wow, it's rude to interrupt someone when they're expressing their feelings through song." Weiss said sarcastically as the blade failed to pierce her skin. She faked a cough and continued. "But now you've stolen everything and I'm all alone."

She stabbed Myrtenaster into the wall beside his head. Weiss leaned forward, her glare attempting to tear a hole in the Hero Killer's head.

"I had one thing, and you've taken it from me. A single light, a single friend, but you've made that end." Weiss swung her right hand, giving his face a haymaker, his struggling doing little to free him. "There was one thing to escape the misery, and now it's all disarrayed."

He hated that she profited off of her music career while studying to be an idol? He attacked Yu to get to her? Weiss screamed as she threw Stain to the ground, his body bruised and blue.

"You took my whole life away, you sent me back to nothing. Now you'll pay." Weiss grabbed Myrtenaster, easily pulling it from the concrete.

"Pay."

A/N

I'm still working on the Frozen omake. It's going to be longer than I expected, so it'll be posted as its own story on FFN, AO3, and Wattpad.

I'm currently watching Gundam: Witch from Mercury, and Suletta and Miorine seem like AU versions of Weiss and Ruby. I even saw a fanart of the Gundam girls wearing their outfits.

I love it.

Till next time on Schnee: Hero or Huntress!
