6 AM

The heart was heavy for the young French assassin as he rode a truck of which its wheels rolled the sandy road with the shopkeeper from his date with Ruby, his eyes were shadowed by his hood hiding the sorrow that he carried. The shopkeeper took immediate notice as he put his gloved hand on Y/n's shoulder.

Shopkeep: "Head held high partner"

Y/n: "What's the point, the only man who was dumb enough to be the second obnoxious joy is gone. How the hell am I supposed to after my one of nine uncle figures are gone"

The shopkeeper sighed as he removed the hard hat from his head and wiped some of the sweat off his bald head.

Shopkeep: "You were right about him ya know, he may have been obnoxious and dumb as dirt but kept us feeling high. I'd reckon that we'd all be dead without him, I do care for him partner, we all do..."

He then put his hard hat back on as a smile appeared on his face.

Shopkeep: "...and I'd doubt that he'd want any of us to be low, so keep your head high for him"

Y/n: "But not enough for your head to be popped by a Sniper"

The Shopkeep and Y/n shared a small laugh together from the joke.

Y/n: "But in all seriousness I'll do that, thanks Mr. Conagher"

Shopkeep: "Now how many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to be so formal, Engineer or Engi is just fine partner"

8 AM

Y/n then looked out the road as the truck turned left, a large curtain and some cardboard cutouts of cacti and bushes were moved to reveal a base of operations. The car was parked along with three others.

Engineer: "Ready there Y/n?"

Y/n: "Yes I am, let's go Engi"

The two walked in the building, there they met eight other men, the very people that were willing to care for him before the brotherhood were inside the meeting room of the very building the walked towards. A main in a suit, tie and a ski mask greeted the two.

Engineer: "Howdy"

???: "You are just in time laborer, thank you for bringing the boy"

Engineer: "Much obliged"

The man then turned to Y/n as he tightened his tie a bit more.

???: "It has been a long time hasn't it mon ami?"

Y/n chuckled a bit as he removed the hood that was over his head.

Y/n: "Ç'est bon de te revoir...Spy" (It's good to see you again)

(If a word is not in the English translation it means he is speaking that word in english)

Spy: "Quant à toi mon garçon" (As to you my boy)

Spy then turned to Engineer.

Spy: "Engineer, if you may give me and the boy some time alone"

Engineer nodded as he walked into the room of the other mercs as Spy and Y/n stand face to face with one another.

Spy: "You have grown, it is unfortunate that I wasn't there to see it"

Y/n: "Well Remnant disappoints everyone at some point"

Spy took out his disguise kit pulling out a cigarette, Y/n already had a silver lighter out for Spy. The elder assassin lit the tip of the cigarette as he indulged in the warmth of the drug before exhaling it out.

Y/n: "What was the diagnosis"

Spy: "The lead poisoning finally caught up to the man"

Y/n sighed as he pinched his nose.

Y/n: "The lead poisoned water in the fucking forts..."

Spy puffed out another smoke.

Spy: "As obnoxious and loud he was he was a good companion and co-worker, his loyalty was unparalleled like his..."wits" in the battlefield"

Y/n remembered watching the man fly though the air with great speeds as his boots were momentarily caught ablaze, he was able to take down the enemy support stopping them from moving the cart.

Y/n: "Those wits was the reason why you and the others got paid that day"

Spy: "Indeed, and his feats of pure insanity has given him respect from our peers...and even from me"

Y/n sighed as he looked up at the sky, Spy puffed another smoke before taking a deep breath and exhaling.

Spy: "Y/n..."

Y/n: "Oui?"

Spy: "...to see you become an assassin of many talents and high caliber after all these years made me rather happy, I heard of all the assassinations you had before going to that academy. I just wish to tell you that I am proud of you, and Soldier would be proud as well"

Y/n nodded in acknowledgment, the two then turned and left to the meeting room.

12 PM

The mercs said their personal eulogies during the meeting, each saying their own opinions about him and how he was one crazy son of a bitch just like they were and what they saw in him. With all the sappy stuff out of the way the mercs went to do their own thing in pairs, Y/n at the moment was having a chess match with the large Russian man that wields the mini gun, punches with ruthless intent, and eats up damage like he eats a Sandvich: Heavy.

Y/n: "How's Zharra taking the news?"

Heavy: "Not too bad, she is grieving but it will pass. Zharra strong woman"

Y/n: "...What was he like? It must have been rather strange to have your coworker be your brother-in-law"

Heavy: "Heavy did not like idea, Did not want anything with job when back home. Yet Soldier was kind to family in his own way, even if he gave racist remarks in beginning"

Y/n sighed as he took a sip of wine from his glass.

Y/n: "I still remember that he teleported bread for three straight days in this very base"

Heavy gave out a hearty laugh at that memory as he took a hefty bite of his Sandvich.

Heavy: "Ruined fast little baby's night with Miss Pauling, it is funny to me"

Heavy then moved his queen to the side of Y/n's king cornering him.

Heavy: "Checkmate"

Y/n: "Ah mèrde..."

2 PM

Y/n aimed an old rifle at a can, he controlled his breathing to a neutral state which slowed his heart beat. In between one beat to another Y/n pulled the trigger piercing through the can, he lowered the gun as he looked at two of three cans on the fence that was a kilometer away from their current location.

He then heard a loud bang and a can flew off the fence, he turned to hear a shell eject from a bolt action sniper rifle. There sat the bushman himself Mick Mundy, Aka: "The Sniper"

Y/n: "Good shot"

Sniper: "Thanks kid"

The Sniper loaded his rifle and looked down the sight, in a matter of milliseconds a bullet pierced the last can and sent it flying.

Y/n: "You have any significant stories you have with Doe?"

Sniper: "Well I can tell you one thing kid, the man was a bloody lunatic just like the rest of us but the difference be he is the one who always shows it. I still remember a time when he took down a level two sentry along with its Engineer..."

Sniper breathed on his sights and wiped it with a cloth, he then looked into the sight again testing it.

Sniper: "He then proceeded to take down the enemy Pyro and Heavy when they attempted to take the point. Then he bloodied the blu Spy like blokes that bludgeon their wives to death with a golf trophy..."

Y/n: "Mon Dieu..."

Sniper: "He was a man of grit, and that bloody idiot was one of ours and I say it proudly. He'll be missed"

Y/n looked through his scope as a red dot appeared on a can of Atomic Bonk!, he heartbeat slowed once again and this time he swiftly punctured a hole into the can sending it flying. Sniper clapped quietly as he gave a smirk.

Sniper: "Much better mate"

Y/n: "Merci"

3 PM

Y/n was outside as the other Red team members did their own thing, he was flipping his balisong knife to entertain himself. He then heard footsteps coming to him, it was Blu team member. It was the boom man, the knight, the Black Scottish Cyclops: The Demoman.

Y/n immediately pulled out his multi-barreled pistol and pointed it at the Demo, the one eyed bomber on the other hand was unarmed and raised his hands in surrender.

Demo: "Oi! I am not here to fight!"

Heavy then saw the debacle and stopped Y/n.

Heavy: "Demoman friend of Soldier"

Y/n then holstered his gun on his back and gave way for Demoman.

Y/n: "Apologies"

Y/n flipped his balisong as he watched Demo place some flowers on the casket, he felt the heaviness the mans soul when the flowers touched the polished wood of the coffin. He walked up to him as Y/n pocketed his balisong.

Y/n: "Out of all the mercs, I never thought Soldier was one to befriend someone that is considered the "enemy"..."

Demo: "Neither did I lad, but he did and he was a great person to call friend..."

Y/n: "...How did you two become friends?"

Demo: "Met him at a Projectile Weapons Expo, we bonded over explosives and became friends from that point on. Even when the Administrator pitted us against we kept our friendship as a secret"

Y/n: "I didn't know Soldier was such a good friend..."

Demo: "The best I ever had"

Y/n took two bottles out of two separate boxes, he then walked next to Demo and passed him one of many bottle of scrumpy while he uncorked a bottle of wine.

Y/n: "Sorry for assuming wrong earlier"

The Blu Demo gratefully accepted the bottle of his favorite drink.

Demo: "It's alright lad..."

4 PM

Y/n: "You decided to not cure the lead poisoning?"

???: "He refused, I do not know why but he refused"

Y/n was now talking to the mad doctor himself: The Medic, the young assassin could never wrap his head around how Medic can make such psychopathic methods of the medical field work. Yet at the same time he was astonished how well they worked.

Medic: "He was always a stubborn headed idiot, rocket jumping to the enemy lines risking his legs. I still cannot believe how well that crazy idea worked"

Y/n: "I can say the same with your medical work"

Medic: "Touché"

Y/n continued to create emergency kits for any future missions he needed to do, as he did he continue to ask Medic the same kind of questions as he did with the other Mercs.

Y/n: "I heard out of every Merc that was out there Soldier took the most damage in every battle"

Medic: "Yes, that maniac would always throw himself into battle and will end up in my medical room every single time. That man had no sense of stopping..."

Medic sighed in frustration remembering every single time he had to fix him up.

Medic: "But that is what made him an efficient mercenary, he always said "pain is weakness leaving the body". I wish I could say how right he was before he passed, he was a great mercenary and a resilient specimen"

Y/n: "Riiiiiight...very glad that I wasn't injured out in the field"

6 PM

Y/n sat outside on the roof of the red team building, there he say with the fast talking Boston boy himself. Y/n was doing his best to drown out the Scouts stories about himself and how he was better than Soldier.

Scout: "Then bang bang! Killed the medic and the heavy before the rocket even hit the friggen ground!"

Y/n sighed as he continued to listen to Scout's little monologue, Jeremy then stopped and settled his bragging.

Scout: "But I'd be dead if Soldier wasn't there ya know? I would've gotten killed the Blue Pyro would've turned me into a charred corpse. Man really cared for an asshole like me and...I really appreciate that, real bummer to see him go"

Y/n nodded as he look out at the setting sun with Scout enjoying the moment in silence.

8 PM

Y/n had his coat off as he sat near the fire that warmed his body, he looked through his scroll catching up with Junior for more information on his target. He then lost all attention to his current task as he watched his marshmallow get lit ablaze.

Y/n: "Mon dieu!"

Y/n blew the flames off the marshmallow revealing the charred shell of ashy black, Y/n sighed as he cured to himself.

Y/n: "Mèrde"

He then heard muffled giggling from next to him, there sat the kiddish menace of fire and the bane of Blus: Pyro. Y/n rolled his eyes with a smile.

Y/n: "Yes yes laugh it up Pyro"

Y/n carefully peeled off the burnt cover of the marshmallow, Pyro then passed him crackers and a piece of chocolate.

Y/n: "Merci"

Y/n took a bite out of the campfire snack, he stared at the roaring fire listening to the cracking and popping of the inferno. He sighed as he took another bite out of his snack.

Y/n: "I'm going to miss the man, as much as an idiot he was. What about you Pyro? You gonna miss him?"

Pyro nodded as Y/n sighed as he looked back into the fire.

Y/n: "I'm going to miss the man, as much as an idiot he was. I wish I could've said goodbye..."

Pyro put a hand on his shoulder, under the goggles of his mask Y/n could see his reassurance as he muffled some words. Y/n sighed as Pyro gave him a shoulder to lean on.

Y/n: "Thanks Pyro, for everything..."

10 PM

Y/n walked the Beacon grounds as he entered the halls of the Academy, his footsteps echoed through the halls which gained attention of the cat faunus of his harem. Before he can even stand in front of the dorm the door opened revealing Y/n's harem, Y/n's hood shadowed his face but his somber and melancholy looks was still seen by the six of them.

Blake: "Are you alright Y/n?"

Y/n: "Oui"

Y/n entered the dorm where he was then greeted with hugs from all six girls, he gave a sad smile as he felt the comforting embrace of his harem.

Ruby: "We are all here for you Y/n, please do not be sad"

Yang: "Your uncle would want you to stay happy for him and carry on"

Y/n: "Yes, you're right. I thank you all for being here for me"

Pyrrha: "We should get going before Professor Goodwitch finds out"

Nora: "We will see you guys tomorrow"

The two girls of JNPR gave Y/n a quick peck before leaving to their dorm.

Y/n: "I am going to wash up, you guys go to sleep now"

Y/n removed his coat, belt, bracers, and his hidden blade, he then took something out of his pocket. In his hand was a yellow grenade with some scratches on it with the pin securely in place. Y/n smiled as he remembered all the times he had with Soldier and all the crazy training he did with him, he placed the grenade in a box in a small boom proof safe with a relieved sigh.

Y/n: "You did good mon ami real good, and you were certainly the best"

(I know I did it twice now but I don't think I can sit still without properly paying tribute to Rick May, so I am deciding to write this chapter where the main focus is not on Rwby. I hope I did good and avoided it becoming some cringe ass sap for you guys and put some comedy in it since ya know it's TF2, I hope you enjoyed the story ladies and gentlemen. Peace Out ✌🏻)
