Gunshots rang through the air as Genji slowly was walking up. At the next shot he was immediately alert.
"Hanzo what is happening?" Genji quietly asked.
...No response...
"Hanzo? Brother?" Genji looked around.
"This is not were I was." He muttered.
The gunshots went silent and the door opened. Genji immediately pulled back into the shadows waiting for any noises.
"Two people, one...man one woman." Genji muttered to himself as he listened to the footsteps. He heard voices but couldn't hear exact words. But he heard enough to know that the man was going to place a bomb and the woman was not keen on the idea. Stepping from the shadows Genji slowly made his way towards the two undetectable.
"Adam!" The woman said, trying to convince the man to change his decision.
"No Blake we must...damnit! Go!" The man know as Adam said, pushing the woman out of the way from a massive blast of energy from a mechanical spider.
"Oh...that's a big robot." Genji muttered as he followed the combatants out of the train car.
He watched in fascination as the two fought the robot with outstanding teamwork and precision, using abilities that were surprising and quite impressive. As he watched on he saw multiple robots coming from behind the two but they didn't notice. Instead of taking their attention away from the spider bot he dashed to the oncoming robot and quickly cut them down. One with a sword three with his throwing blades, and one more by removing its head with his fist.
"Impressive display...for a human!"
Genji tilted his head away from the blade of the man as it flew past. Then turned to look at him.
"Really now?" He asked, slightly unimpressed with the attack. He had honestly expected more from the man he know knew was Adam.
Adam slashed out again towards his neck and Genji caught the blade with his blade on his back.
"Now now." Genji said. "I'm not here to hurt you."
"Adam..." the girl, Blake, said quietly pulling on his arm. "We should leave."
"Silence." Adam snapped, pulling his arm away. "He is a human and he has seen our faces."
"Adam.."
Instead of answering he slashed out again at Genji...or where he once was. Genji was standing atop a container corner looking down upon the two. "There are more robots heading this way." He said, pointing.
As the two turned to look at the oncoming robots and personal Genji noticed something in the girl, the desire to flee, to run away from the increasingly impossible fight. One might call it cowardice but Genji saw it as an honest and pure desire, and as such he could never call it a cowardly act.

As Adam cleaved his way through the forces, Blake allowed herself to be pushed back ever so slightly towards the end of the train car. Out of the corner of her peripheral she saw the human looking down upon the battle. Surprisingly though he seemed to have moved in the direction she was headed. Blake flinched back just as three flashes flew past her face. Turning she saw a knight slam into the ground with three throwing stars imbedded into its chest, looking back she realized that the man was no longer in his perch.
"Where?" She muttered quietly to herself as she made more head way to the end of the car.
Upon reaching the edge she sighed and looked back at her partner, she had tried one more test for the man and he had failed miserably. She had tried to see f there was any shred of decency left in him and she knew the answer.
No.
Solidifying her resolve Blake jumped the space between cars and one again looked back. Adam had just finished off the last knight and turned around, only to realize Blake was not there.
"Blake?"
"It's over Adam." Blake called out. "I'm sorry."
"No! Don't!" Adam called out stretching out his hand.
Blake cut the couplings to the cars and sheathed her blade, turning away.
"NOOOOOO!" Adam yelled pulling his gun out and fired.
Blake had barely turned around when there was a thunk and a clang, and she felt an arm around her pulling her off her feet, looking down she saw the ground getting farther away. Before she could even scream though she felt a slight impact and she was placed on a tree branch.
"Are you unharmed young woman?" Asked a rather tall, armored...man.
"Who are you?" Blake asked.
"I am called Genji. What about you?"
"Blake."
"Nice to meet you Blake. Now what where you doing on that train with that less than savory young man?"
"I...uh..."
"It's fine, I already know the answer, well part of it."
Blake looked down awkwardly and shuffled her feet. "I..."
"So, I'm not from here, would you mind telling me where I am and how you were able to do what you did?"
"What?"
"The afterimage thing and your partners ehh absorption ability."
"You mean our semblances?"
"Semblances? Fascinating, does everyone here have one?"
"Yeah, as long as their aura is unlocked. Wait."
Reaching out Blake took Genji's arm. "Where's your aura?"
"Umm I'm not from around here."
"That's not what I asked." Blake said, stepping back and reaching for her weapon. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
"This will take some time." Genji said. "Here sit down and listen to my story."

Applause, lots of applause. In fact there was so much of it that Hanzo was uncertain if it could actually be human made. Checking his quiver and bow he slowly stepped out of his hiding spot, making sure no one was around he dashed to another spot for cover.
"THERE!"
Gunshots rang out and slammed into the ground around his feet. The archer dove behind a tree and cursed his luck.
"Of course that damn bomb didn't kill me, it just had to send me INTO A FREAKING RESTRICTED ZONE!" He yelled out at the men shooting at him.
"He's over there!" Yelled the first guard. "Get him!"
Hanzo cursed, he needed to find a way out before more..."Shit"
Bullets riddled the ground where he was one sitting, flipping up the wall and bouncing off Hanzo released a splinter arrow towards the first ground of guards, knocking them out of commission, pulling back he let lose another arrow causing the other guards to dive for cover.
"Gaze through the eyes of the dragon." Muttered Hanzo, covering his left eye with the two fingers of his left hand. Smirking he allowed the sonic resonance to project to his eye and saw the guards positions. Pulling back on his bow he put an arrow into each guards foot pinning them to the ground.
"Sorry boys, I've got to get out of here."
Hanzo ran across another courtyard before he stopped, slowly turning he saw a woman in red clicking heels walking towards him.
"Very impressive young man...or should I saw older man?" The woman said in sultry voice, closing the distance between the two of them. "Now how about you tell me how you saw through that wall?"
"It's a gift." He replied with a shrug, standing still.
"I have a gift too, it's a bit more flashy though." The woman said, holding up her hand. Suddenly it burst into flames with...
"Glass? Winston would love that one."
"Winston? Who's that?" Asked the woman. "Actually forgive me but I never got your name."
"Hanzo, yours?"
"Cinder, now." Suddenly a bow formed in her hand and fired an arrow, dropping a guard who had come around a corner. "Now as I was asking, how did you do what you did?"
"An old family teaching, used for hunting."
"Oh, was your family all hunters?"
"...no, and your not really interested, your just keeping me distracted sooo," turning he drew his own bow and lined up with an unassuming spot. "Tell your friends to come out or they will receive a nasty surprise."
Cinder tilted her head. "How did you know?"
"Again, old family teachings. Now, bring out your friends. He demanded, his left arm aglow with energy.
"Fine." With a snap of her fingers two young teens stepped out, one with weapons drawn. "Stand down Emerald, you won't win"
"Yes ma'am." The green one said lowering her pistols.
"And Merc, put the safety's on." Cinder said, sending a glance to the grey haired one.
"Mm"
Hanzo looked at the boy and tilted his head. "How long have you had your prosthetics boy?"
The three present all raised their brows in surprise.
"How did you know?" Merc demanded.
"My brother, he suffered massive damage in a fight and has extensive prosthetics. Not complete replacement, but close. I also have several...acquaintances who have prosthetics. So I'm adapt at noticing them." Hanzo replied, finally lowering his bow.
Merc tilted his head. "Wait don't you have one?" He asked pointing towards Hanzo's left arm.
"No, this is just a piece of equipment that helps me draw my bow."
"Yes I've been meaning to ask, how much does it pull?" Emerald suddenly asked.
"Currently it's lowered to 550 pounds. Makes it easier for quick draws."
(This will be removed but does that seem to extreme to you? If so go ahead and change it)
Cinder tilted her head and nodded, while emerald looked sick.
"Now, we have been standing here for some time and I don't think Atlas higher ups will waste much time in realizing that some of their precious Schnee guards are not responding."
"Atlas?" Hanzo asked. "I'm not familiar with that group."
"Umm, it's a kingdom." Merc said.
"Ohh...kingdom?"
"INTEUD-AUGH!" A guard spun around firing his rifle as an arrow flew from both Cinder and Hanzo and imbedded themselves into the guards left shoulder.
"Nice, now shall we leave for a friendlier place?" Cinder asked.
"I'm not sure if i should just trust the first woman who crosses my path, even if she's not bad too look at."
"Ohh, he's strong and a smooth talker." Merc said sarcastically.
"Enough, if you want to come with us, follow me." Cinder said walking away, adding extra sway to her hips.
"Well I might as well, besides you need help with your stance when going for a father target."
"Excuse me! My ahem. My stance is flawless." Cinder said, regaining her composure.
"No it's not. I'll tell you more later, now we have a problem." Hanzo said pointing behind the group, a massive middevil looking knight steeped onto the courtyard.
"Oh. That's a big mech!" Merc said crouching down.
"Go for the joints, hit the knees and then the neck." Hanzo said, drawing his bow and putting an arrow into the mechs knee, followed by three more. "Well don't just stand there!"
"It's fine, follow his lead." Cinder said, pulling out her own weapon.
Several minutes later and Hanzo was starting to get annoyed at the lack of progress against the mech. Getting an idea he made his way to Cinder.
"Call back your kids, I'm ending this."
"Fine, Fall back!"
Taking a breath Hanzo pulled back on his bow and channeled energy, feeling the familiar flow. As his power surged his arm started glowing at higher intensity.
"Ryuuga wagateki wo kurau!" He roared, releasing the arrow.
Emerald squeaked at the sudden appearance of two dragons from the archers arm that slammed into the mech, though slammed wasn't a proper description, it passed seamlessly through the mech and it dropped, it made no noise it just dropped.
"Holy shit!" Merc said, eyebrows raised.
"That was impressive, now we should leave." Cinder said, also slightly perturbed.
"Agreed, we should go, fortunately I just bought use some time with that, it passes through solid objects and drains the energy of my target." Hanzo said.
"Our rides here!" Merc said.
"Let's go." Cinder says stepping away from the area.
As the group left Hanzo turned back and saw Emerald still rooted in place. Walking back he tried getting her attention but she was to far out of it. Sighing he picked her up and carried her after the others. Entering a larger ground an airship was warming up.
"Come on, we haven't got all day." Called out the pilot, who had way to much eyeliner.
"Let's go." Hanzo said, stepping onto the craft and setting Emerald onto a seat.
"Oh look, she found a new toy. Names Roman Torchwick and you are?"
"My name is-"
"No need I'll come up with a nickname for you. Now shall we go?"
"Yes, to the camp, we need to have a chat with some new friends."
