Hey guys! Ashe here with the fourth story for RWBY Month can I get a whoo! Anyway the final results of the poll state that I make Gabriel Reyes a teen instead of an Adult so I'll be sticking with that, now without further ado on with the story! EXCALIBUR!
Chapter 1: Introduction
White.
That is all that could be seen on this plane of existence up, down, left and right nothing but the color white and no one in sight.
Well, almost no one.
"Ugh, mi cabeza lo que pasó." Sombra said as she struggled to stand, holding her head as she did so.
Taking in her surroundings, the ex-Talon agent tried to remember how she came to be here. Coming up blank she decided to check her inventory noting the fact that she was fully stocked up on ammo and her translocator was fully charged.
'Machine Pistol seem to be in good shape. No damage to it at all which is somehow disturbing….Why the hell is that disturbing!' Sombra thought running her nails through her hair in frustration.
The hacker sighed. "Might as well see if anyone's here" She said as she started to walk only for a black blur to speed by her.
'What the hell?!' The hacker thought as the same blur to slamming into her knocking the wind out of her.
Sombra fell to her knees clutching her stomach, before she was knocked flat onto her back. She was then lifted off the ground and carried somewhere before being unceremoniously dropped to the ground, looking up she was greeted by the sight of a man in a skull mask and a woman with blue skin.
She knew these people, the man was called…Reaper..no his real name was.
"Gabe? Amelie?" She said as the woman helped her to her feet. "What happened?"
"We were going to ask you that, I assume a black blur brought you here?" Amelie asked getting a nod from her companion.
"Yeah, you manage to see exactly what that was with those 'eyes' of yours?" Sombra said smirking as Gabe gave a chuckle while Amelie rolled her eyes at Sombras nickname for her visor.
"Firstly they aren't eyes and to answer your question no we didn't see it."
"Well can you at least tell me what we were doing before we ended up here, well wherever here is." Sombra said gesturing to the white space the three were occupying.
Gabe and Ame shared a look.
"You…don't remember?" Gabe asked confusion in his voice as he walked over to the hacker examining her for injuries. "Any wounds you had seem to have disappeared and you remember us so there's no brain damage from that hit you took."
Sombra backed up a little. "Whoa there Gabe a little close aren't you?" Sombra said nervously. Though she was hiding it she was completely confused, brain damage? Why the hell would she have brain damage and what hit?
"Sombra, what's the last thing you remember?" Amelie asked surprising even herself as she showed actual concern.
Getting over her shock the shadow of Talon tried to answer her teammates question. "What I remember?"
She suddenly clutched her head in pain as fuzzy images flooded her head. One was of the three of them betraying Talon the image changed to her arguing with Winston, Tracer and before switching to three women in suits with their face fuzzed out defending her. Sombra cried out in pain as more images assaulted her mind bringing her to her knees clutching her head. Reaper and Widowmaker rushed to her side as Sombras eyes rolled in the back of her head as the girl started to spasm as drool began to run from her mouth.
"Gabriel what's happening to her!" Amelie yelled as she tried and failed to calm her teammate.
'That's a good question.' Reaper thought as he surveyed Sombras body. She didn't remember what they had done to get here, hell it looked like she had barley remembered them! The question was why? Despite her playfulness and somewhat arrogant attitude Sombra had a near photographic memory thanks to her cybernetics. It was how they had won so many battles, he wasn't afraid to admit that without those enhancements of hers he'd be dead three times over.
Well more dead than he was already.
'Wait a minute.' The man in black thought as his mind lingered on his last thoughts. 'Cybernetics…Oh shit!'
"Widowmaker turn her over!" Gabriel said startling the blue skinned girl.
"Gabriel what're you-?"
"Do it! If you don't we'll lose her!" He yelled prompting his partner into action.
Following his instructions Amelie turned the still unconscious girl over, Gabe then removed her coat along revealing the high tech body suit she wore as well as something that made take in a sharp intake of air and Amelie to gasp. Sombras cybernetics connecting to her head were offline no longer glowing pink but the main problem were the ones connected to her spine, the one at the base of her spine was out of place causing the other to spark and flash. This was bad, the cybernetics were directly linked to her nervous system if they didn't put them back in place it could kill her…then again the shock of having one forced back into place could kill her to.
Screw it.
Gabe placed both hands on the object before looking up at Widowmaker. "Try and brace her."
Amelie gave a nod as she leaned to Sombras ear. "Listen to me Cherie I don't know if you can fully understand what I'm saying but we need you to be calm down. Gabe's going to fix you but we need you to be still."
Surprisingly the hacker seemed to listen to her as she stopped screaming and instead clutched Amelies suit. The girl in question gave a nod to Reaper who nodded and counted down.
"1."
Sombra tightened her grip.
"2."
Widowmaker griped Sombras arms holding her in place.
"3!" Gabe yelled putting all his force on the implant forcing back into place causing Sombra to gasp before she fell into unconsciousness.
"That looked like it hurt."
Reaper and Widowmaker both turned their heads to the one who spoke, it was a girl that had blonde hair and blue eyes while wearing what looked like a Blackwatch uniform. Reaper narrowed his eyes behind his mask, the girl wore his uniform his exact uniform down to the last detail minus the symbol and shells. Yet he didn't recognize her.
"Who are you?" He growled slowly reaching for his shotguns.
"Whoa there Hoss! No need to be hasty." The girl said disappearing in a black blur reappearing behind him with not only both of his shotguns but Widowmakers sniper machine gun in her hands. "Let's have a little chat."
Reaper and Widowmaker both looked at her in shock. Not even Tracer moved that fast! The two of them looked at each other before looking at the still unconscious Sombra, nodding to each other they both turned to the girl.
"Okay…lets talk."
The girl smiled. "Great!" She said throwing the weapons at their feet before turning around.
'Hope Jack doesn't mind me copying his style.' She thought as she clapped his hands and on cue a holo projection of an entire world appears in front of them.
"Remnant, a world with endless mysteries and wonder populated by humans and the animal like people called faunus."
"What does that have to do with us?" Amelie asked only to grunt in pain as the girl tossed a water bottle at her head.
"Getting there." She said as her face gained a grim expression.
"This world holds many wonders yet even a world such as this has its own set of darkness." Dark figures began to take form behind the model of Remnant, resembling wolves, raven, bears, snakes and even scorpions. And behind them stood four figures three girls and one boy.
"The Grimm, soulless monsters of pure darkness and instinct. They exsist only to destroy everything, they populate most of Remnant."
She then turned to them. "That my ex-Talon operatives is where you come in."
"What do you mean?" Gabe asked still being cautious of the girl.
"I mean I'm giving you a chance to go there."
Both vigilantes' eyes widened.
"Y-you mean?"
The girl nodded. "Yep I'm giving you a chance to live again and before you say anything else I wasn't asking for your opinion on the matter." As she said this a portal opened up beneath them and began to rapidly suck them in.
The girl smiled and gave a wave as she watched the trio disappear. A blue skinned woman then walked up behind draping her arms around her neck from behind.
"Hm? Oh, hey Lapis! Finally woke up eh."
The girl, Lapis, nodded while giving her a peck on the cheek. "Mmhm, what were you doing Ashe? I thought I heard voices."
Ashe gave a mischievous grin. "Oh just 'helping' a few people."
(Remnant.)
Sombra woke up with a splitting headache. 'Ugh I feel like a just got out of a drinking contest with Jessie.'
She looked around the room spotting a Gabe and Amelie standing in front of a mirror. Gabe had his hood down and his mask in his hand while Amelie was just staring straight ahead."
"Uh, guys? Everything ok?" She said her eyes widening at how her voice sounded like it was seventeen years younger.
Her companions turned to her and what she saw shocked her to the core. What she saw was a young Gabriel Reyes minus the goatee, scars still present on his face and a now normal skinned Amelie . Both of them were crying. It was Amelie who answered her first.
"Everything is more than ok Sombra."
Sorry for the short chapter but it's late and I'm tired, so have a good night everybody!
