I'm so sorry for not updating this faster! I've been busy updating other stories and dying to Midir in dark souls 3 twenty two times! I killed that bastard on the 23rd try though! Read and Review!
Jack leaned against a tree as he watched Jaune meditate with Genji. He smiled at how far Genji has come since Overwatch and how much more mature he was. His smile fell when he remembered what happened to Mercy.
"Calm yourself Jaune. You need to need to relax if you wish to properly meditate." Genji said in a calm voice. Jaune was doing his best to ignore the sounds of his body whirring and lost his concentration.
"AAAGH! Dammit!" Jaune yelled loudly and hit the ground. Genji looked up at Jaune and sighed. He stood up and sat down next to Jaune.
"What is plaguing your mind Jaune? I can tell that you re unfocused and cannot calm down. Tell me young lion."
Jaune looked at Genji and took off his helmet. "I have someone that I love. She's been there for me ever since I attended Beacon and I finally knew about her feelings for me after a school dance. Right before the bomb that took most of my body went off, I told her that I loved her. When I survived the procedure, I was horrified at what I'd become. Even though I became mostly machine, she still stayed with me. She helped me so much and I love her more than anything on remnant. But even though she's been by my side since I became what I am now, I still feel at war. She's helped me so much, but it's hard to accept that most of my limbs are now metal and I am mostly machine. What I'm trying to say, is how did you accept what you've become Genji? How did you make peace with yourself?"
Genji took off his helmet and looked at Jaune. He had many scars on his face and had tan skin. "I was much like you when I first got my cybernetic body. My brother, Hanzo, was the leader of the clan and head of our family when father died. The elders hated that I didn't want anything to do with the criminal part of the clan and gave my brother an ultimatum, kill me or lose the clan. He chose the first and we both engaged in a fierce battle. In the end, he defeated me and left me on the brink of death. Luckily, my wife Angela found me because I was having a secret relationship with her. She brought me to a brilliant scientist that was the same man who saved you. Angela was a genius in medicine and cybernetics, but didn't have the materials or budget. She shared her cybernetic plans and blueprints with gepetto in exchange that he save my life. He accepted and made me what I am now. After the surgery, I wandered with Angela trying to accept my new body. I found a monk named Zenyatta who was a wise old Faunus that lived near Mistral. Angela and I stayed with him for a year and he finally made me feel at peace. He taught me that though my body was mostly machine, my soul is and always would be human. I simply needed to remember what lies beneath the surface. Unfortunately, while we were visiting the city, the white fang attacked. He tried to make them stop killing and payed the price. They killed him and I killed them all in rage. He died in my arms and I prayed that he would be reborn in a happier life. I joined Overwatch after this happened and Angela went with me. She was the team medic and codenamed herself as Mercy and myself as sparrow. We helped end the Faunus rebellion and celebrated. We were then attacked by one of our own and lost many good friends. Angela and I retreated to the mountains and began our life here. Sadly, our peace would not last because Overwatch became huge in the media and revealed our codenames. Hanzo recognized mine and found out where I lived after a year of searching. He came with the intent to finish what was started. Mercy told Hanzo to leave us be and he responded by shooting her with an arrow. I fought him once more and killed him out of rage I ran over to Angela and cradled her in my arms while she spoke soothingly to me that everything was alright. She took off my helmet and gave me one last kiss before she died. I held her lifeless body for a whole day before Jack came to visit me. He helped me bury her and stayed with me to help cope with what happened. I swore to never love another and kept myself here in isolation with only Jack and Mcree coming to visit. What I am trying to teach you Jaune, is to never take anything for granted. You view your new body as a curse when in reality it is a blessing. It gave you another chance to keep living and you can be with the woman you love."
Genji got up and sat across Jaune once more.
"Now, shall we continue meditating?"
Jaune nodded and meditated with Genji again with renewed spirit.
(Salems lair)
"It's a shame that you weren't able to kill the Arc boy, but no matter. Another team of huntsman are in foreverfall and I want you to eliminate them. Also, allow me to introduce your new partner. Widowmaker."
A curvaceous woman in a tight hbodysuit walked forward and nodded at Reaper. He nodded back and signaled her to follow.
"You'll be my support while I go in head first Make sure to not reveal yourself unless it looks like I'm going to be overwhelmed. Grab onto me and I'll teleport us to the mission location."
Widowmaker did as Reaper said and put a hand on his shoulder. They materialized in foreverfall and Reaper fell to one knee panting. "I've never teleported someone with me before. Give me a minute to recover." He said between pants.
"That was unnerving. How are you able to do that?" She said in a French accent. He looked up at her, "It's my curse." He said to her in a voice filled with anguish and stood back up.
Widow looked at him with an uneven gaze and followed him through the forest.
(Teams RWBY, JNPR and Glynda)
Yang was shaking in anxiety and fear. She prayed to Oum that they would be able to get Mike back and that everyone would be okay. Ruby was sitting next to her nervous as well, as was everyone else. Glynda was on constant alert making sure there would be no chance of Reaper getting the drop on them. They set up multiple motion sensors and had their weapons on hand at all times.
"I want you all to stick together and cover one another's back. Professor Peach was able to get a bit of info out of Oobleck and he told her that ASUR should've stayed together. He said they attacked one at a time and it proved to be their downfall. I will fight him one on one while you all backup with suppressing fire. Any questions?" None of them had any and she nodded.
"Hehehehe, Found you all."
All of them turned around to see Reaper standing their with shotguns out and Yacidian on his back. Yang started shaking as she was in her stance and Reaper looked at her with his head tilted. "You look like you've seen a ghost." He spoke with a cackle and Yang had a few tears leaking out.
"What did they do to you Mike? What did they do?!" Yang spoke in horror and Reaper stood there and chucked. "I already told your friend Jaune that Mike Yacidian is dead. All that is left is me, Reaper."
Pyrrha paled in fear. "What did you do?!" She screamed in anger and Reaper growled, "He would've been dead but got lucky. Some bastard with a red visor shot me before I could end him and I had to run. I'll send him a message by bringing him your head."
Glynda stood between the two teams and Reaper with an icy glare aimed towards him. "I know you're still in there Mike. I will force it out of you if I have to!" She brought out her riding crop and Reaper chuckled.
""This is gonna be fun." Reaper laughed and unleashed a barrage of shotgun shells at Glynda as the two began to fight.
