As instructed, Hanzo took Soundwave's advice. He got up bright and early in the morning, got Genji, and took him out of their house to spend time in the Hanamura. They went to the shops, arcade, and lastly Rikimaru's.

Those in town were introduced to the Head of the Shimada clan, by Genji. Many were surprised how Hanzo was to them. They expected a cold hearted, emotionless, and greedy person who felt entitled to everything around him, but they forgot a simple fact. They knew this man since he was little. They forgotten that Hanzo was a caring, compassionate, and friendly person.

Some were surprised how Hanzo and Genji acted, as they bickered or joked over different things. Seeing Hanzo laugh and smile around Genji made everyone relax. The brothers actually forgot all their troubles as they went through town. That was until sunset at Rikimaru's, when reality came crashing down on Hanzo.

As Genji ate, Hanzo became morbid and lost his appetite. His doubts and fears started to plage his mind. He couldn't imagine a reality without his younger brother ever since Genji had made an effort to help with the family business, keeping everyone in line with his kindness.

Genji was going to take another bit of his ramen, until he glanced at Hanzo. He lowered his chopstick with noodles back into the bowl. Hanzo was showing fear, and publicly no less. Hanzo never showed fear in public. He only started expressing himself to Genji just recently.

"Hanzo?" Genji called. He saw Hanzo jump in surprise, and grew even more concerned. "Are you okay?"

Hanzo just nodded, as he didn't trust his voice at the moment. He had to force his face to be stoic as he continued to eat his ramen. He tried to think of something else, but he couldn't.

Genji saw his brother force himself to eat, so he grabbed Hanzo and dragged him off to the restroom. Once they entered, Genji made sure no one was in and locked the door. He turned to confront his brother, but found Hanzo was on the floor as tears flowed from his eyes.

"Hanzo," Genji called softly. "What's wrong?"

Hanzo couldn't answer him. His fear was consuming him in that moment. The weight of his future sin was crushing his nobel spirit. Pain started to bloom in his chest, and he released a heart wrenching sob. The thought of his kind little brother dying at his hands killed him inside.

Genji rushed over to Hanzo's side on the floor, and held him close, while rubbing his back just like Hanzo did for him when he was little. Genji could only give Hanzo physical comfort as dread filled him. Whenever Hanzo got like this, it had to do with him and the elders.

They stayed like that for an hour, while Soundwave watched. It hurt seeing the brothers like that. If he had Laserbeak watch them, she would've broken down with memories of her twin brothers in the past. She wouldn't be able to work effectively if that happened.

It didn't change the fact Laserbeak could feel his emotions through their spark bond, but this couldn't be helped. They were sentient beings. They couldn't help their emotions. Even more so, when they only had each other to comfort one another.

Soundwave saw that they had only two hours until Genji's supposed death, so he messaged Hanzo. The brothers heard Hanzo's phone go off. Hanzo went to get it, but Genji stopped him and shook his head.

"If it's the elder ..., " Genji started.

"And if it isn't?" Hanzo countered.

Genji reluctantly let go, so Hanzo could get his phone. When Hanzo checked who the message was from, he quickly opened it, only to read he had two hours left. Hanzo felt a ping of pain, but knew it was time to move. So, Hanzo moved from the floor to leave the bathroom.

"Hanzo, where are you going?" Genji asked.

"I'm going to pay for the ramen, and head home," Hanzo replied in a cold demeanor. "I suggest you do the same."

"Hanzo!" Genji called, but his brother was gone. Genji was thoroughly confused. Hanzo was reverting back to his cold self, and Genji didn't know why. Especially after he broke down in the restroom. All he knew was Hanzo's under great stress and it had to do with the elders.

Genji quickly went home to try and find his brother, but Laserbeak messaged him.

[Genji, I need to talk to you.]

[Sorry, Beak. I can't talk now. I need to find Hanzo.] Right when Genji was going to put his phone in his pocket, Laserbeak sent him one more message that made him freeze.

[It's about Hanzo and what the both of you need to prepare for.]

[What do you mean, Beak!?]

[You're fate, is similar to my twin brothers.]

Genji's thoughts were going a mile a minute. His mind wasn't able to comprehend the fact that his brother was going to kill him. He thought he was careful.

[I know this will be hard for you, but we won't let you die like my brothers.]

[So what's the plan?] was all Genji could ask. He hoped this wouldn't end badly.

Time Skip

Genji stood before the tapestry in the dojo. Two hours passed, and Hanzo texted him to be there. He new the plan, but Genji still knew that this wasn't fool proof. The only thing that made him feel better was the fact Hanzo didn't want this to happen either.

While his back was turned, Hanzo snuck up behind Genji without his notice. With a sword in hand, Hanzo took a mighty swing, and cut through Genji's right shoulder. It went all the way to Genji's left hip. The tapestry was cut a bit and some blood stained it.

Genji cried out in pain. He fell and turned to face Hanzo. Genji wasn't really prepared for the pain that he was being put through. He prepared for the attack and know it wasn't real, but the look on Hanzo's face made him think otherwise.

"You are a disgrace to our family," Hanzo said in pure hatred and rage. "You waste your skills away. Therefore, I will restore our family's honor by killing you."

"So be it then," Genji said calmly, but Hanzo's words hit him hard. "Our family business is wrong and corrupt. I accept my fate knowing I was never tainted by corruption."

Hanzo's face was stern, but his eyes showed he was hurt by Genji's words. Hanzo then took the sword and drove it into Genji's right shoulder and pinned him to the floor. He wiggles the sword to hear Genji shriek. Hanzo smiles, but internally he was agonizing with his brother.

"You are weak, pathetic, and a waste of space. You're very birth was a mistake. You were the reason mother died!"

Tears of sadness and pain poured from Genji's eyes. Genji couldn't help thinking Hanzo had once thought these thoughts towards him. Genji know Hanzo had resentments towards him, but now he knew how specifically Hanzo blamed him.

Soundwave looked away as a hurricane of emotions swarmed him. This was like losing his twins all over again. When they got Frenzy to the med-bay, Rumble kept mumbling to himself of all the horrible things he said to Frenzy. Like how he hated him for being weak, practically useless, and a burden.

Soundwave, overall was enraged. He was going to make the Elders of the Shimada clan pay for this. He couldn't bring justice his creations deserved, but he sure as hell would for the Shimada brothers. The Elders would pay with their very Lives.

Soundwave turned his attention back to the brothers once he could no longer heard Genji's cry of agony. He turned to see Genji laying there, motionlessly. Hanzo swiftly pulled the sword out of Genji's body and laid it on the floor. The Elders' watchdogs came out from hiding and came next to Hanzo as he sat beside his brother.

"It is done," Hanzo said in a monotone voice. "Leave me. I wish to be alone with my dear brother."

"The Elders will be very pleased with you Hanzo," one of the lackeys said as they moved to leave. "You truly brought honor to the Shimada clan."

Once they left, Hanzo quickly panicked and called to his brother. Soundwave took this opportunity to message Reyes to come quickly to the randevu point for emergence evac for Genji. It seemed Genji fainted from the pain, because tears started flowing once he woke up.

"Genji!? Please stay with me. Help is on the way," Hanzo said. "I'm so sorry! Please forgive me."

"T-there is nothing to forgive," Genji stutters out. He held the side of Hanzo's face with what little strength he had in his left hand. "You are not to blame for your actions."

"But Genji, you may never walk again. Or use your right arm!" Hanzo confessed, unaware that Gabriel and McCree arrived. Though, Gabriel was luckily the one watching.

"I may be disabled for the rest of my life, but at least I'll live," Genji said honestly. "I really hope to see you again. Take care of the family, okay?"

"I will, my little sparrow," Hanzo said as he took Genji's hand in his own. Then he placed it on his brother's body as he heard Gabriel approach. "Are you Commander Reyes?"

"I am," Gabriel simply answered. "One hell of a mess you made of your brother. You're aware that we might not be able to restore his arm and legs, right?"

"I'm well aware of the circumstance," Hanzo replied as he ignored Genji's look of worry. "So long as my brother lives, I have nothing to fear. After all, Wave has assured me that Genji will be in good hands."

"That's all I needed to hear," Gabriel said as he moved next to Genji. "Is there anything else you need before we go," Gabriel asked the brothers.

"M-my phone," Genji groaned. "I want to take it with me."

"Where is it?" Hanzo asked.

"It fell out somewhere around here."

"Do you really need it kid?" Gabriel asked as Hanzo went to look for it. "We could always get you a new one."

"It has Beak and Hanzo's numbers," Genji said. "It's the only way I can contact them later on. P-please, C-Commander R-Reyes."

Before Gabriel said anything, Hanzo came to Genji's side, and placed his phone into his left hand. Genji smiled up at his brother, despite the pain, he was happy that Hanzo understood the importance of such a simple device.

"Take care, my little sparrow," Hanzo said. "I will see you again one day."

"I will," Genji said. "See you later, Anija."

Gabriel took his que and lifted Genji off the floor. Genji gasped in pain, but stayed quiet for the most part. Hanzo hoped that Genji would make it with those injuries as he watched Gabriel and Genji disappear in into the jet and flew away.

Hanzo took this time to leave Shimada castle with what he needed as Wave instructed. He wasn't sure what would happen, but he also wouldn't question Wave. Hanzo was indebted to him, and was pretty sure Genji would survive. The innocents in the clan was already out of Hanamura and he would follow after them.

Soundwave sent Laserbeak to monitor Genji's vitals, while he located all the local omnics in Hanamura. He hacked into all of them and sent them to Shimada Castle to kill everyone there in any brutal way without shedding blood. Soundwave wanted to kill those demons without soiling Hanzo and Genji's home. He made sure that the omnics would keep their place in good shape if the brothers were to ever return.

Soundwave oversaw yakuza's demise. Each in a different condition of death. Being beaten, strangled, and burned were just some forms the omnics put them in. Soundwave had no pity for anyone of them despite his personal mission to help the omnics and humans have peace and harmony like Cybertron.

At that moment, Soundwave realized he no longer considered Cybertron his home or anything associated with it. He didn't even consider himself or Laserbeak Cybertronians. It must have been thinking about it that caused terrible processor pains. Now that he had a purpose, and was interacting way more with Commander Reyes, Hanzo, plus Genji and McCree by extension, he felt like Earth was his home after so long.

Soundwave knew that Laserbeak agreed with him as well, so he decided to just go with it. He deemed that they were no longer considered Cybertronians, but Laserbeak and himself didn't fit the mold as omnics or at least the normal classifications.

Just as the omnics finished cleaning the place up and dragging the bodies away, Soundwave found their classification and a convenient backstory if he and Laserbeak escape the shadowzone. Soundwave was a God A.I. while Laserbeak would be a Demigod A.I. which can explain where they fit on Earth.

Though most God A.I. are considered evil, but who isn't seen as bad in reality? In different perspectives there is always going to be that one person that's seen in a bad light. Despite the depiction, Soundwave knew that they were going to fit in, but most God A.I. don't have a vessel to travel in. Well, except for Anubis until Strike-Commander Morrison, Captain Amari, and Commander Reyes locked him away.

Either way, Soundwave was sure that no one could really hurt Laserbeak and himself at the moment. So, he just needed to focus on the future of Overwatch and Blackwatch. Soundwave had to get rid of the bodies and erase the omnic's processor of the event. No need for lose of innocent life, including omnics who had nothing to do except carry out his will and judgement.

With Laserbeak

Laserbeak was watching over McCree tended to Genji's wounds, while Gabriel flew them swiftly to Watchpoint Gibraltar. McCree was trying to keep calm and not feel guilty that this happened before they could find evidence against the Elders of the clan. Genji was trying to stay conscious and reassure McCree that this wasn't his fault. Gabriel was on the radio reporting their current situation to the Strike-Commander and Captain Amari.

Laserbeak just watch over Genji's vitals, but thought back to her late siblings. Wondering if this was how Frenzy felt as he tried to stay alive for his twin's sake. Laying there, helpless as pain coursed through his body and trying to assure Rumble through the bond that it wasn't his fault. Seeing this was a painful reminder of her siblings cruel fate.

Laserbeak decided to help Genji to stay awake by texting him. She thought of what to say, mentally thought it out, and sent it to Genji's phone. Genji's ringer went off and he quickly opened it. McCree looked at him incredulously.

"Who in the hell would text you at this hour!?" the cowboy asked.

"Here, take a look," Genji said as he handed his phone over to McCree.

McCree took it and whistled. "Well I'll be! Beak is texting you of all times!"

"Yes, but can you help me?" Genji asked. "Seeing as I can only move my left hand, I need you to text her for me."

"Well, how are you feeling? What should I reply? Does she knows what happened?"

"She knows what happened. Beak helped me prepare for the attacks Hanzo. Just text her that I'm in a lot of pain, but okey."

"Wow, not going to calm her worries?" McCree asked.

"No, I'm just being honest. Besides, I knew her longer than you. If there's one thing I've learned when talking with her, it's that you can't hide anything from her. Beak just knows too much and has experience in many situations. It's a waste of time trying to lie to her."

McCree nodded and texted that Genji was in pain, but was okay other than that. Laserbeak swiftly sent another message back, curious of her friends reaction.

"She asked if you think you might survive," McCree said.

"Tell her I'm not really sure. But for Hanzo, you, and her sake, I'll keep fight for life," Genji replied. McCree just texted, as to not yell at Genji that he will survive.

They two waited for the reply, not realizing Laserbeak was keeping their minds off time and worries. Laserbeak thought of a topic that could be more informative. The ringer went off, and McCree stared at the message, but didn't read it out.

"What'd she say?" Genji finally asked after a minute.

"She asked the both of us of our opinion on omnics," McCree replied. "I'm surprised she knows I'm here."

"Well, you shouldn't be. She told me that you and Commander Reyes were coming to pick me up. She knew you'd be with me. Beak must have reasoned that with my injuries you would be texting her for me. She's very smart, McCree."

"Yeah, well help me think of what to say to her!"

"Just be honest, McCree. Have you never conversated with Beak before?"

McCree shook his head, "No. Not a casual one anyway. I don't want to say something that could potentially ruin our alliance with Beak and Wave for Commander Reyes. They're vital to our operation as it already is. I don't want to disappoint or anger anyone."

Genji chuckled a little. "Anyone, or Reyes? The way you talked about him to me when we hung out made him seem like he was you f-"

"Shut it!" McCree shouts, covering the blush on his face in embarrassment. "Okay, yeah, I don't want to upset him. That's probably why I avoid having friendly conversations with Beak."

"McCree, Beak has been to war, suffered great losses, and is hiding from those who want her and her father dead. She feels all alone in the world with us being her only contact. She just wants to be treated like a normal person. Just give her an honest answer."

"What if Beak's like, pro-omnic and I told her I don't really care for omnics?"

"Then you tell her. Beak is very mindful of other people and their opinions. I told Beak about everything in my life and she didn't judge. She accepted it for what it was and told me that I was strong for living through what I did. She'll understand, McCree. Beak isn't someone to fear."

"Alright, but what do you think about omnics?"

"Growing up, I always knew omnics were living beings. I would hate to see them be treated like tools. I had to take some omnic lives though when they would kill innocence."

McCree texted a simplified version of what they said, but the message was clear. Laserbeak's reply was short, simple, and directed toward McCree. She was very curious and had enough time to ask this question before they the landed.

McCree sighed, "Genji, she asked why I don't really care about omnics. What if she is judging me right now. What if this is a text Wave put her up to?"

"McCree, need I remind you that Beak is not a judging person. She has been hurt so much and understands people. Beak is just having a casual conversation. She would often ask that same question to any of my stories out of curiosity."

"I hate it that I'm not that trustin' to Beak. We're on good terms so long as I don't insult her. I hate that I understand where you and Beak are coming from, but I just grew up having my trust abused. I've been hurt so many times, I just can't trust that easily."

"Then how were you able to trust me so easily?"

"I kept in mind that Wave wanted to recruit you and your brother, you were already a close friend with Beak, and you treated me like a close friend."

"Then do the same to Beak. She has nobody but us and her father to talk to. Your secret is safe with her as well as me and anyone else you decide to trust."

"Alright then," McCree relented. "I'll tell her that I can't trust people and omnics so easily." McCree sent the message.

[Well, that's fine. Everyone has trust issues, so don't feel too bad. Anyway, you should prepare to move Genji to the medical wing.]

"Genji, we're going to land soon. Just a little longer and we'll get you some help."

"Text Beak a thank you note real quick. She needs to know how grateful we are."

McCree did as told and quickly sent the message. He then grabbed the edge of the gurney Genji was on and hightailed it to the med-bay as soon as the jet door was open. When he got there, all he could do was look into the doctor's eyes and plead for help.

Angela was set up for surgery like Reyes had asked her to, but she wasn't mentally prepared for the sight of Genji. The sigh of his bloody body wasn't what through her off. It was how young he was, close in age to McCree.

Snapping out of her initials shock, Angela quickly pushed McCree out of the operation room and got to work on Genji. McCree stayed outside waiting for Genji to be okay. Gabriel was taking to Jack about the mission report.

Laserbeak was watching the whole operation. She had to block her spark bond since Genji flatlined. After the fifth time Angela revived Genji, Laserbeak knew he would make it. Angela had the drive to help Genji make it through.

Though Laser was a bit sad that Angela had to amputate Genji's legs and arm. He'd be helpless to the world, but hopefully Gabriel would keep him safe and help him restore his legs and arms somehow.

Right when Angela stabilized Genji, Laserbeak texted McCree, Gabriel, and Soundwave of Genji and his situation.
