Author's note: Thought I'd crank out another chapter. This chapter is where the fic reveals another character.
Response to anonymous reviwers
Moon Man: No one will be. You'll see what happens later in the story
R01: His semblance is what it is in the show. It's been revealed enough that it is some sort of shield. How do you think he and Pyrrha survived the blast?
Guest: I'm making more!
(Down a road leading to Mistral)
Mike Yacidian traveled down the road to Mistral. Ozpin assigned him with the task of finding out what he could about the queen and her inner circle. As he went down the road, he thought back to how his life was going for the past five months. "Well I became an assistant professor at Beacon, got a kick ass girlfriend that can kick ass with just her fists, found out more as to why my clan was killed and became part of Ozpin's circle." He had come to Ozpin five months ago with knowledge that the maidens were indeed real and that there was someone that controlled Grimm. Ozpin asked Mike how he knew all of this. He responded with that his father told him the maidens were real and before his clan was decimated, that there was someone pulling the strings of the attack. He started dating Yang when she asked him to spar with her and when she smashed him into a wall it was love at first sight. Their relationship grew and they officially became a couple. The two had a strong bond and she helped fill in the holes left from his family's deaths.
He continued walking down the road when he felt a presence start running behind him. He unsheathed his ancestral blade Yacidian and turned around to block the blow from the oncoming stranger. The stranger was a man with a crazed look on his face and had two wrist blades with gun barrels. He pushed the crazed man away and the guy started to cackle madly.
"Oh I already like you! You're strong and have a killer intent! Isn't he Hazel?"
Mike's eyes widened in shock and he sensed another presence behind him. Standing there was a massive man who had a serious look. "Tyrian, we have our orders."
Tyrian cackled with joy, "I know! I just wanted to have a good fight! The queen will be happy with us when we take you away!"
Mike's eyes widen in shock, "The Queen? You mean Salem?!" Tyrian laughed again and nodded his head.
Mike smiled a bit evilly and spoke in a low voice, "Well then. I guess I'll be able to get my answers. I'll kill one of you and torture the other for the location of that bitch!"
Tyrian looked at Hazel, "Shall we take him?" Tyrian spoke and Hazel nodded. They charged at Mike and he met them halfway.
(Beacon)
Ozpin sat at his desk with anxiety and worry. Two of his top first year huntsman teams and the newest member of his inner circle haven't reported back. He started to fear the worst but felt relieved when he answered his scroll with Ruby Rose on the other end. "Ms. Rose! It's good to know you're okay. Is everyone alright?"
"Everyone's okay Headmaster, but we did suffer a casualty."
Ozpin slumped down when he heard this, "Who did we lose?" He asked with sorrow.
"We didn't lose anyone Headmaster, Jaune was injured from a bomb and he survived. He almost died but Penny's father brought him back, but he isn't the same as he once was. You'll have to come down to the docks to see for yourself."
He stood up and called Glynda, "Glynda, I need you to stay alert for Mike. I haven't heard back from him for five days and I'm getting worried something happened."
"Of course Ozpin. I'll stay alert." Glynda replied.
Ozpin stood up and made his way towards the docks. When he made it down there, a crowd had formed and he pushed through it. What he was met with was something he never expected. Standing in the center of Teams RWBY and JNPR, was Jaune Arc. Except he wasn't the same Jaune Arc when he left Beacon three days ago. What he was seeing was a Jaune Arc that had metal limbs and a helmet by his side.
He walked up to the teams and looked at Jaune, "Mr. Arc? What happened?" Jaune looked at Ozpin with a bit of sadness. "I almost died. All my limbs except for my left arm were blown off and the right side of my body was damaged beyond repaired and was replaced with artificial organs. I protected Pyrrha from a White Fang bomb. Penny Polendina's father saved me but I now have become this." Jaune gestured to his new form.
Ozpin nodded in understanding, "I'm sorry Mr. Arc." Ozpin stated with regret.
Jaune shook his head, "Unless your Roman Torchwick, you have nothing to be sorry for Professor Ozpin."
The crowd dispersed as the teams and Ozpin started to walk to their dorms.
"All of you may report back to your dorms. I think you all need rest and some downtime. I am letting you all take the rest of the week. Welcome home." Ozpin stated.
The teams were about to leave when Yang called to Ozpin, "Headmaster! Where's Mike? I know he left on a mission when we went on ours. Wasn't he supposed to call when he made it to Mistral?"
Ozpin looked at her with pain and responded, "We haven't heard from him for almost a week. We fear he might've been attacked. We'er sending you Uncle to find out what happened. I can tell you no more."
He walked away and Yang had tears in her eyes and started to fear the worst. Ruby was at her side trying to calm her down. JNPR gave Yang hopeful words and went to their dorms. Jaune sat down on his bed and stared down at his two different hands. One flesh and warm, the other metal and cold. He clenched his hands in anger and relaxed when Pyrrha wrapped her hands around his neck.
"We'll get through this Jaune. I swear to you we will."
He nodded and layed down his bed with Pyrrha. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The next morning, Jaune and his team went down to the cafeteria to eat. Jaune grabbed a few pieces of bacon and a pancake. When he tried to grip his fork, it broke under his right arms cybernetic strength. He sighed and grabbed another fork. He ate with his left hand but he had to eat slowly since he wasn't as coordinated with his left hand. Everyone at the table gave Jaune a look of sympathy as he struggled with eating. Pyrrha stepped in and helped him eat. He smiled at her in thanks and they continued eating.
Jaune stopped when he heard a cry in pain. He looked over and saw Cardin grabbing Velvet's ears. He stood up and walked over to them. Cardin looked to see who came over and looked at Jaune in shock. "Holy hell Arc? What happened?"
Jaune responded with grabbing Cardin's hand with his metal arm and started to squeeze. "I almost died Cardin. This was the only way for me to survive. What did I tell you about messing with my friends?"
Cardin tried to break Jaune's grip but failed. He started to groan in pain, "Okay okay! We'll leave her alone Arc!" Jaune let go and Cardin tried to punch Jaune's chest. Cardin yelled in pain as his fist met Jaune's armored chest. Jaune sighed and looked at Cardin in annoyance. He reared back his metal arm and hit cardin in the gut. He felt ribs break as his fist made contact with Cardin's bones.
Jaune leaned in and whispered in Cardin's ear, "That was me barely putting any power behind my punch. Stop bothering her or I'll break you. Here and now.."
Cardin fell to the ground in pain and labored breathing. His team grabbed him and ran away.
Jaune looked at Velvet in concern, "I know you're really strong Velvet. You shouldn't let someone like that push you around."
She nodded back at Jaune and said thanks. He sat back down with the group and continued eating. Everyone was looking at him in surprise.
He looked back at them with a face of confusion, "What?"
(Salems Lair)
"So this is Ozpins latest tool." Salem looked at Mike with curiosity. He was cut in multiple places, his clothes were torn and he looked defeated.
He looked back at her with hate, "You. Your the bitch that killed my clan and family!" He strained against the chains but felt his arms go numb. The damn shackles would make his arms lose all motor function every time he tried to move. All he could do was glare at the witch.
She looked over at Hazel and a now tailless Tyrian. They both had wounds all over their bodies. "It appears to me that he gave you two a bit of trouble." she stated as she saw their tired forms.
Hazel nodded while Tyrian stayed silent, "He was able to knock out Tyrian and cut off his tail when we finally got his aura gone. Even with no aura he refused to go down. I fought him blow for blow and he's just as strong as me. If you only sent one of us? I doubt we'd be able to capture him." Hazel stated.
Salem stepped forward and inspected Mike once more, "I think I might have a use for someone like you. Especially since you're the last of the Yacidian clan."
Mike glared at her with hate and spoke, "I'll never help you. You can break me, tear me apart and torture me all you want, but I'll never break."
Salem laughed at this and gave him an evil smile, "Oh I'm not going to torture you. I'm going to CHANGE you." She gestured Watts to step forward who had a vial of black liquid.
She grabbed Mike's face and he tried to fight her off but the shackles shocked him again. She grabbed the vial and put it in a syringe. She stabbed the syringe into his neck and he gasped in pain.
He started to scream terribly and thrashed wildly in his chains. He was so filled with pain that he actually broke out of the chains and fell down to the ground yelling in pain. After another minute, Mike's form changed. His body looked smokey and he had wisps of smoke leaking from him. He stood up with a mask of a skull on his face and a hood over his head. He stared at Salem and Kneeled at her feet.
She stepped forward and put a hand on his head. "You are no longer Mike Yacidian. You are now my personal assassin. Rise now my new pawn, you shall now be known as the Reaper."
Oh damn! The shit has hit the fan! I've made my OC become the Reaper! HAHA! Oh I'm so evil. If you want an overwatch character in the fic, review and I'll see what I can do. I will spoil which characters will be either mentioned or be in the story
