A.N: Hey everyone, since chapter 3 for "A New Danger" is currently in the works, I decided that I should post this story up. You Gency shippers oughtta love this one ;) Okay let me just tell you guys, I LOVE Beauty and the Beast! It's probably my favorite Disney film of all time, I love the old movie and the new one, and I also love Overwatch so I decided to combine them. Okay, I'm just gonna shut up and let you enjoy this ^^ I own NOTHING from this! And it will follow no continuity from the game or the lore. Enjoy! :)
"Once upon a time, in the far off land of Hanamura, there was a clan called the Shimada Clan that was lead by a young man who went by the name of Genji. He had too many riches to count and lived in a grand monastery with many servants that obeyed his every command. However, although he always got what he wanted, the young clan leader was spoiled, selfish, unkind, and he treated both his subjects AND his servants like dirt.
But that all changed one stormy night when an old woman came to the monastery seeking shelter from the storm, in exchange she offered him a cherry blossom. Repulsed by her horrid appearance, the young clan leader sneered at the gift and turned her away. But she then warned him to not be deceived by appearances for true beauty was found within.
But the young clan leader didn't listen and only turned her away again. Then the old woman's ugliness faded to reveal a gorgeous young enchantress with black hair and brown eyes. Many knew her by the name of Symmetra.
Shocked by this, the young Shimada tried to apologize to her. But it was too late. Pharra had already seen the darkness in his heart and as punishment for it, she badly scarred his face and transformed him into a hideous cyborg and placed a powerful spell on the monastery and all who lived there.
Ashamed of his new mechanical form, the cyborg hid in his home with nothing but a magic mirror that would allow to see whatever he desired to see. The blossom she offered him was enchanted and would stay in bloom until he turned 35...if he could learn to love someone and earn their love as well by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken, if he failed, then he would be doomed to remain a cyborg forever.
As the years flew by, his hope died, his spirits dropped, and he fell into despair.
...For who could ever learn to love...a cyborg?
