Finding the location where Genji was, was the hardest part. But finally finding the hangar where he was located, upon entering I realized this was going to be a solo session. I walk in awkwardly and I notice two pillows in the ground. Knowing japanese customs I sit on one of the pillows and I wait for Genji to enter for my lesson. In front of the pillow I was sitting at was a case that sad 'open', opening the box I find a basic blade shooting gun. I take it out of the case and study it, suddenly a whoosh of wind blows passed my cheek. I look over and I see little pieces of hair float down, I touch my cheek and look at my hand, my fingertips showed red. I flip around and shurikens start flying at me, one scrapes my arm and I combat roll out of the way, and I look up to realize Genji is the one attacking me! But it couldn't be Genji, his color highlights were red not green, it just didn't seem right.

"Genji! I'm not going to fight you!" I yell as more shurikens fly at me, I almost dodge all of them, but one gets lodged in the armor on my shoulder pad. Finally I just started shooting back with the gun that was in my hand, It shot 3 blades at a time and if I aim well enough I can manage to hit him with at least one blade. There was nothing to hide behind and Genji was growing closer shurikens gaining speed. I have to make myself a harder target to hit' I think to myself as I start moving side to side so i'm not a sitting duck. Less and less shurikens happen to hit me and I wonder why didn't I try this earlier. Genji started predicting my movements and I knew i'd have to be more unpredictable so I start randomly jumping. In the middle of one of my jumps, in a panic I tried jumping again and I jumped in the air. Holy crap! I could double jump like Genji. By this point we were too evenly matched, until he started to use his deflect. By this point I thought I had a chance but it was quite small. Continuing to shoot at Genji I shot at a bad time because he used deflect and my blades were coming right back at me and I wasn't going to be able to dodge them. My heart skips and I shut my eyes to brace for impact, I was already hurt pretty badly this could finish me off. I suddenly get a tingly feeling shoot through my body. I slowly open my eyes and I realise I wasn't in combat with Genji, well I wasn't in front of him anymore, I was behind him. Genji froze wondering where I went, but I think he heard me because he quickly flipped around and threw more shurikens at me and I jumped out of the way the shurikens barely missing me. On the ground I suddenly hear,

"Ryujin no ken wo kurae!" I look straight to him jumping up and I see him, sword in hand. He dashes at me and I double jump out of the way so i'm high enough so he'll miss. But upon landing I go to jump again and the sword slashes my back, I fall to the ground. Darkness grows in my vision, the last thing I see is his foot before i'm hit in the back of my neck and the fight was finally over.
