Chapter 1
Route 66 was filled with the sounds of gunshots and explosions. War cries and loud footsteps consumed the area with the faint noise of bullets hitting blunt objects.
In the middle of it all was a group of mercenaries, forgotten heroes, and misfits trying to stop one another.
Attacking was Soldier 76, Winston, Ana, Mccree, Reaper and Sombra. Defending was Bastion, Widowmaker, Tracer, Mercy, Mei, and . Some were not pleased with who they were teamed up with.
"Looks like we will be working together." Widowmaker would say
"Don't think I'm happy about that!" Tracer responds.
Ana felt almost happy to see her, Jack, and Gabe working together again. Even if it was under bad circumstances. However, seeing the two of them not even humoring the other with a comment or glance only made her stomach sink. Perhaps things could never be the same.
As they fight on the battlefield, trying to get the payload to its destination, Bastion fires mercilessly at the enemy team, practically shooting through them with ease.
They all respawn and group up when Soldier 76 gives the call.
"This isn't working, we need Reinhardt, or Genji to counter Bastion," Soldier 76 says "Your barrier just isn't cutting it Winston."
Winston appears somewhat offended but looks to the side in reluctant agreement.
"I should... go then… Call in Genji or-" Winston was interrupted by Ana
"No! We can still win this, there's no need to switch him out. Gabe, what is your ultimate at?"
Reaper seemed to hiss at being called that, but told her despite not wanting to make any interactions with the team.
"80 percent." he said
Ana bit her lip and checked her ultimate as well; still 35 percent more to go.
"Once Sombra's ultimate is ready, we can disarm that Bastion and the whole team as well, then I will boost you Gabe. We can win."
Sombra stretched and began to walk out of spawn
"Where do you think you're going?" Mccree said to her
"Where do you think I'm going? I'm not just gonna sit here and let them keep the payload from getting to its destination. You do realize we only have a minute and 45 seconds left right?" She responded
"We still have time, once Reaper's ultimate is charged, and yours, Ana can-" Mccree was cut off by Sombra showing them her ultimate status: 15%
They all stood there in shock.
"When did you-!?" Soldier began
"I used it earlier." Sombra said
"You tried to solo their whole team?" Winston shouted
"No, I used it right after all of you died. I hadn't realized until it was too late."
"I don't think so, you're not that oblivious, you wasted it for a reason!" Soldier snapped
Sombra stood there and shrugged before waving as she turned her back to her team.
"I'm outta here."
"Sombra wait!" Ana called out
But Sombra had already vanished
It was silent in the spawn, but the announcement of there only being 60 seconds left broke it. They all looked at one another and nodded in agreement. They quickly ran out of the spawn room and headed to the payload. Once they reached it, the Bastion immediately saw them and began to fire, Tracer flanked their team and zoomed across the map back and forth, firing rapidly.
Winston threw his barrier down.
"Barrier, up!" he shouted
Ana looked at Reaper and nodded. With a few more shots Reaper's ultimate was ready, and after some more healing, so was Ana's.
Reaper ran out of the barrier to the other team; Mccree followed behind to cover him.
Ana was ready to fire when Winston, who was fending off the Tracer, suddenly shouted:
"Behind you!"
Ana turned and there was Mei, she began to freeze her and although desperately trying to escape, she was completely frozen. She saw as Mei began to raise her Endothermic Blaster, Ana tried to move to boost Reaper, who was slowly losing health, but to no avail.
Suddenly she heard Mei scream and suddenly drop to the floor. She regained movement, and turned to see Morrison. His gun was smoking after just firing a helix rocket. She smiled but then quickly turned around to fire her Nano Boost.
Right when she clicked the trigger quickly flew in and knocked her back, Ana's Nano Boost launched and she fell to the ground. For a moment, Ana felt defeated, she had missed didn't she? But then, a wave a relief came over as she heard the Nano Boost fire up Reaper. She looked over and her relief soon turned to anguish.
Mccree had been the one she Nano Boosted.
Mccree looked at Ana in shock and confusion, but he then screamed a war cry.
"Buckle up, this gunslinger's loaded!" He shouted and began to fire his revolver like a madman. It seemed to work, as he managed to take out Tracer and Widowmaker, when suddenly they heard something that made their hearts sink.
"Nerf This!" the exclaimed and her Meka came flying towards them, they ran, trying to get as far away as possible.
The explosion sent them flying. Soldier and Reaper had been eliminated by the self destruct, Winston was badly damaged and Mccree had managed to get away in the knick of time. Ana, however was launched and sent flying as her body suddenly collided with the wall. Her whole body cracked and snapped at the sudden hit.
Everything went dark.
Ana began to open her eyes, expecting to be in respawn, or back at the base, knowing for sure they had lost. To her surprise, however, she was in neither. Her eyesight began to adjust and she got her bearings. She was in what looked like to be a hospital room. When she tried to move she discovered her arms and legs were bound. She began to panic, what had happened? Did Talon get her? Was she a prisoner?
When she struggled to turn her head, she saw something that made her blood run cold. It was Gabe. His eyes were closed and he wasn't moving. She turned the other way and saw Pharah, the same way. This alarmed her. She violently tugged at the bounds to try and break free. Her heart rate skyrocketed.
She heard a noise, the sound of a door opening. Two men and a woman came in and rushed to her side.
"What's going on? Who are you? Why is-?" A needle was quickly injected into her arm and she cried out. She shook and tried to escape, but it was no use. Her body began to go numb, and her eyes became heavy. Everything went fuzzy and the last thing she heard before falling unconscious was:
"How did this happen? How did she wake up?"
