Chapter 1: The Old Man
"Overwatch is gone…...I am alone now, the only reminder of the world I once lived in is my armor, my hammer, and my oath to protect the innocent….and I ReinHardt Wilhelm will stop at nothing to do so…"
City of Vale (Outskirts)
Reinhardt Forgeworks
6:00AM
Reinhardt woke up with a growl, lifting his massive body out of his bed, smacking his head on the ceiling as he normally does because of the roof height. He went to his bathroom to take a shower and get dressed, he stared blankly into the mirror,looking at the old man he is now, 61 years old and still going at it. He combed his snow white beard to look more presentable and his hair. He popped his knuckles and went into the shower..
15 minutes later
Reinhardt emerged from the shower, taking a handmade towel to dry him off, the towel war larger as to fit his stature. He began to dry himself off to start his workday, he long awaited the nights as they were the ways Reinhardt could fulfill his duties. At nights he donned his armor like the days of Overwatch and went out to help the innocent. But for now...he was just Reinhardt Wilhelm, Weapon Forger.
He walked downstairs from the apartment part of his building down to the forge, he was immediately bombarded by heat from the embers of prior nights, he raised a hand to his forehead to wipe the sweat already developing on him. He went to the front of his shop, past the counter and bumped his head on the roof once more as he turned the closed sign to open. He went to the back room to begin the work for today. He slipped on his gloves and put his apron on him as he picked up his hammer. People in Vale don't go to his shop much since he only makes swords and melee weapons, nothing fancy. But yet he still gets some, he is expensive but he makes sure he puts everything into the weapons he can.
Ozpin's Office
General Ironwood stood in Ozpin's office at his desk, laying three photos in front of the head of Beacon Academy, "Ozpin, these pictures I'm showing you are a man who has recently become sort of an...an idol to some people of the city, we yet to know anything about him but that he carries an odd foreign accent never heard by anyone on Remnant, so something is already off. Secondly, this might catch your interest….He took down an Ursa and an Alpha-Beowulf, and many more a few nights back after some grim tried going on a rampage after they got too close...This man donned a very high tech suit of what seems to be armor right from the days of knights...But what he carries is very very different, he carries from what people have seen of this man as a jet-powered hammer… "
Ozpin calmly sips from his coffee which for some reason he always has, "Mhmm..I see general, thank you for this insight, I will be looking into this man personally now, the world can always use more heroes.."
"That is all you say? This man could be a psychopath or something worse! I'm not saying he is but we need to do something, he is no huntsman or Atlas personnel, and nobod-"
"Thank you General...like I said I will look into it, you may leave now. And on your way out can you please tell team RWBY to come up here, I'd like to speak with them when they can."
General Ironwood seemed a little irritated but nevertheless complied with Ozpin, walking to the elevator and descending from the office.
Reinhardt Forgeworks
Reinhardt smashed his hammer down on his anvil with the blade of a new sword being crafted by him, a sword he has been working on for around a week. He lays the last hit on the blade and plunges the molten blade into a barrel of water, the barrel pouring out steam uncontrollably. He cracked his neck and waited for the customer to arrive as he put the finishing touches on the crafted blade. He began the final assembling process of attaching hilt to the blade. He started engraving in German "use it with honor",Verwenden Sie es mit der Ehre. He grabbed a sheathe for the weapon in the back as the bell on top his door rang and in walked in a young boy, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and in a form of armor white surrounding most parts of his body.
Reinhardt yelled happily from the back room, " AH MR. ARC YOU'RE BLADE IS DONE, PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT!"
The boy stood there awkwardly and twiddled his thumbs, "uh..ok thanks"
Reinhardt emerged from the back with his masterpiece and presented it to the boy, standing in front of him, towering over him, "Your blade sir."
Jaune took the blade in shock at the weight, realizing it's heavier than imagined and he'd have to get used to it. He handed the hefty amount of he owed Reinhardt for the blade
Reinhardt took it with smile and said to him, "I hope you know that blade was to protect those who can't protect themselves...hopefully you use it as it was made."
He nodded and took the blade, walking out of the shop..
10PM
Ozpin's office
Ozpin said the the 4 girls standing in front of him after showing the pictures, "I want you to bring in this man, I'd like a word with him. So please find as much about him as possible, observe him, if the Intel is right then he should be patrolling the streets tonight"
Ruby happily said, excited about the sneaky beaky mission they were about to embark on, "Team RWBY is on it! We won't fail you." she said as she tried to dash out of the room, but yang grabbed her cape sighing
Yang added, "we need to know where still sis"
Ruby raised a finger and said, "I knew that..trussst me yang"
Ozpin said," we have no idea where he will be, from what we know he patrols the whole city..happy hunting girls"
Reinhardt Forgeworks
Reinhardt donned his armor, igniting the jets and turning the visor on for his helmet and he open a very large chest in the basement under his house, reaching in and pulling out his hammer, its thrusters powering up, the hammer lie in his grips, ready for any conflict.
Reinhardt left his house with the most discretion as he himself could, entering the streets of vale, his visor and jets on his armor glowing, lighting up his way. He thudded down the streets, each stride shaking the ground lightly.
Smash!
Reinhardt's instincts took over as he heard the window break open a street down, two men entered the house through the window, armed. Reinhardt pushed his armor's and hammer's jets into overdrive and accelerated down the street to the house, putting his heel into the ground to stop him, digging his heel a good half foot into the ground.
He carried his hammer in one hand and walked towards the people who broke in entered. He went towards the door and smashed it down so that he may enter. He saw a blonde-man with horns with a bandanna covering his face and black sweatshirt and jeans in the living room, shocked that a massive person with a hammer just appeared.
Reinhardt's voice thundered, "YOU HAVE ENDANGERED THE PEOPLE HERE, THERE IS NO REASONING WITH ME, YOU ARE TO BE REMOVED!"
His feet fell heavy as he walked towards the man, picking him up by the neck, bringing him right up to his visor, "You are a pathetic imp of a man!," he laughed, "you are not even merely a threat to me, you are more or less what my grandmother called a poodle, you may have the appearance of a bloodthirsty hound but you are all bark, no bite!"
Reinhardt whipped him through the window of the house, making him land in the road. He laughed to himself as he called out once more, "I know you are in the house, you have one minute to come out to me or I come to you….and if I find that you've hurt or damaged anything it will not be pleasing.."
The last robber came out with his hands up, Reinhardt's visor staring him dead in the eyes, making him shrivel, thinking if the metal beast in front of him is even human.
Reinhardt told the man, "Outside, the street, now, we are dueling.."
He walked outside into the street where the other robber was wounded. The other robber shook scared as he walked outside into the street with the big man, scared to run, fearing he'd be run down.
The night was silent, the only sounds in the sky were Reinhardt's jets flaring, revving.
"Eat this!" The robber out of nowhere threw a homemade pipe bomb at Reinhardt, he quickly reacted by putting his shield up, absorbing the blast as he focused down on the robber.
"You have desecrated the bounds of the duel I have graciously offered you my friend." he said laughing at the man.
"You are about to face the power of German engineering!" He yelled at him as his jets passed recommended amount of power, picking his hammer up and pulling it above his head and smashing it down on the street, sending a shockwave at the robber, sending him squealing and on the ground.
On a house roof a house, farther down the street
Ruby quietly squealed, "OMG LOOK AT HIS HAMMER! IT'S SO BIGGGGGGGG!"
Weiss commented, "Don't think it's excessive and unneeded, like it's just a faunus and a person, no big deal, not like it's an Usra or anything."
Blake blankly stared at Weiss for the comment she said about a faunus and a person being two different things.
Yang blurted out, "We still need to observe the target still guys...ya know, the mission."
Weiss said again, "Well we may need to intervene because he might kill them."
Ruby ended the talk by saying, "If we have to then we will, remember we are just getting information guys."
On the street
Reinhardt walked over to the down robber and picked him up, "Oh my friend how you have messed up." He flung him on the side of the road with his friend.
The family came outside to see what happened, a male, a female faunus, and a small girl faunus.
Reinhardt walked up to the family with a small bag of money that the robbers had on them. He handed it to the father and simply nodded. The child, still in her pajamas and with her stuffed animal ran up to him and hugged his armor covered leg, looking up at him and smiled. Reinhardt gave a hardly laughed and kneeled down and patted her head.\
He said before leaving, "You child, you are the future of the world, and remember heroes never die, nor their ideals, hopefully you'll make a difference in anyway you can little one."
The child got off his leg and Reinhardt walked down the street returning to his patrol route of protecting the city, it was his personally assigned job to do his part to protect this world as he did with Earth with Overwatch.
Roof
Ruby clapped her hands as if seeing a show, turning around to her friends, "Why aren't you clapping?"
Weiss responded, "Were we supposed to?"
Yang sighed, "SCREW IT! Let's just go talk to this guy, because obviously we are not getting any information whatever sitting on this roof!"
Yang hopped off the roof, with Ruby, Blake, and Weiss following soon after her. Ruby was on her scroll trying to order what Reinhardt had but quickly hid it after almost being caught, innocently waving to everyone.
