Hello everyone! This is my first take on fanfic, about Overwatch and Kancolle game, I haven't played both the game however, I've watch kancolle already and its very cute. For the Overwatch, I'm only interested about its enjoy reading and leave some feed back :)
Disclaimer: I do not own both games and animes
Prologue
The mission was very simple, infiltrate the white house, assassinate the president and steal the nuclear codes. The goal was to hijack the Intercontinental Ballistic Nuclear Missile array, and launch a missile into a heavily populated city center.
However, he did not expect them to appear, the Overwatch. The president might've allowed them to guard him, that would mean they were already expecting his and his comrade's attack. He was too naïve, of course they would expect him after he attack one of their museum in Numbani, they would strike him first before he could do anything.
"Arghhh…" A gurgled moan escaped from his lips, his consciousness slowly returned. Where am…I? Slowly he raised his head and then gently opened his eyes. He grunted silently as his eyes squinted from the bright light. Eventually his vision returned to him.
He was inside of a bright room. There're no windows and doors, just plain empty white walls.
"Where am I-?!" he tried to move his hands, however he couldn't. He looked down. Both of his wrists were enclosed by metal strap on the arms of his chair. He tried to move both of his feet, only to find it was the same state as his wrists. He was bound on a metallic chair.
What the hell…is this…? He found himself wearing nothing except for black pants; his bare chest was exposed however what startled him was that his arms, his chest and his head, were riddled with needles with long thin plastic tubes that extend towards the floor. And flowing inside it was vile color green fluid that seemed to seep underneath his skin.
"Damn…" he finally realized what had happened. He was caught by the Overwatch.
"So you're awake." A woman's voice suddenly echoed throughout the room. The man then gazed and landed his red eyes on his left. A woman, wearing a black hoodie over another blue hoodie, her brown eyes looked straight on him.
He recognized her, he slowly grinned, which masked his confusion. "Ana Amari…nice to see you alive." He said, with greetings, however his tone was sarcastic.
"And it's nice to see you…in a human form at least. Gabriel-"
"My name is not Gabriel! That man was buried in the ruble back then! I am… Reaper." Ana slightly flinch in fear from his thundering shout. She stared, dejectedly, at her once comrade Gabriel Reyes who was now a vengeful terrorist that was hell bent on killing the whole Overwatch.
"Gabriel…" she called but the man only growled at her.
"This isn't you…what happened to you?" Gabriel only growled at her again, his eyes flashed with anger as if he no longer recognized her as his former comrade before.
"I already told you didn't I, back in Egypt." he began, his eyes still locked on Amari. "That man…took my dreams away. The Overwatch had thrown me away, like I was nothing. I did everything I could to earn just a simple acknowledgement, and the whole world only recognized him, not me."
Gabriel gritted his teeth, anger rose from within him. "I want him dead. I want the Overwatch dead. I want everyone dead!" he thundered again.
This isn't you, Gabriel. Ana silently stared down at him, she was disheartened to the former Blackwatch commander and former member of the main strike team of Overwatch.
"Gabriel…it's not true that you were cast away."
"No, you lie." Gabriel closed his eyes, rejecting her words.
"Gabriel just listen to me-"
"I will never!" he fiercely shouted and growled at her. The straps around his limbs, groaned as he lashed out in anger.
"I'll kill you…right here." Then he smiled again at her, wickedly. His eyes became murderous one, making Ana, gulp. "You're trapped with me and I can kill you here right now!" he declared and called one of his abilities to teleport him out of his bond. He concentrated. Then nothing happened.
"What…?" startled at first, he tried again to use his teleportation powers. Then nothing happened.
Ana, realizing what he was doing, let out a sigh of relief and downcast her gaze at him, "it's over for you Gabriel."
The Reaper casted his wide red eyes at her. He didn't understand what she'd said. "What—"
"Mercy, or Dr. Angela, had already discovered how to put your cells back to normal and it was a success." She looked at one of the I.V. needle on his arms, "That green liquid is filled with that formula, you're and forevermore, back from being Gabriel Reyes, a soldier stuck between living and dying…" she paused briefly, "and a friend of Jack Morrison,"
No…No…this can't be! Panic ran inside him. Gabriel darted his eyes everywhere, scared and lost, it was now him who was experiencing fear, an emotion that he hadn't used for a long time.
"No…no!" he gnashed out on his binds but the metal straps had held him with vice grip.
"We need you Gabriel, the whole world needs you now." Ana pleadingly said to him but the man only snarled at her,
"Liar! I will kill you!" he wildly shouted at her, denying her pleas of peace. Ana observed him more, but then she let out another disappointed sigh.
"I don't want to do this in the hard way…but I'm sorry. Gabriel." Ana looked away from the vengeful eyes of Gabriel and touched the earpiece on her left ear. She gulped down and then with hesitation she muttered.
"Do it."
Gabriel, unsure to who she was talking to, was about to shout when sharp electrical lights zap out of the needles in his body. Together with it, he jerked upward as he felt millions of pain throughout his entire body.
"Gahh!" he screamed in agony, filling the room with his cries. He thrashed in his chair, wildly as the electricity crawled mercilessly beneath his skin, and then it stopped.
Ana watched Gabriel in misery, the man's chest puffed erratically as he labored hard for his breath. Gabriel had never experienced this kind of pain; it was all new to him.
"Agh…" his vision was all blurry, the shock must've caused a disruption on his nerves. He slowly looked up. Ana was still there, but her back was turned to him and she was talking to a newcomer. It was a man wearing a blue and white colored shirt with a number 76 written on it. He had white hair and an advanced looking red-orange visor.
His eyes went wide again in recognition. It was him, the man who stole everything from him.
"Morrison!" his anger quickly erased the pain from earlier as he fought the metal straps again with brute force.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill every last one of you!" he vengefully continued fighting against the straps. Ana and Jack Morrison silently watch his futile act.
"Morrison, even though Angela made this kind of medical procedure…do you approve of this?" Ana asked, worriedly, as the room was filled with nothing but Gabriel's maniacal scream.
The Strike-commander of the Overwatch silently moved and casted his visor at Gabriel, he watched him fought in a futile fight against his bind. Jack Morrison then landed his gaze at Ana and muttered without second thoughts.
"Continue."
Ana gulped down again in nervousness before she reached for her earpiece again and commanded. "Another shock please."
Once again the whole room was refiled with torturous shouts coming from Gabriel. The man struggled in his binds, fighting the electricity that felt like it was slowly eating him, savagely. And while the man was in torment, Jack Morrison silently watch him, the red-orange in his visor glowed terrifyingly at the anguished man.
1 year later
*BUM!* Gabriel opened his red eyes as he was jostled from his sleep. The cabin rock wildly as he felt the plane swiftly bank sharply to the right and then to the left.
"That dream again…" he groaned in grimace as he looked behind him from his seat. The empty single aisle cabin had greeted him with silence. He was the only passenger of the plane.
"Tch, I really need a drink." He clicked his tongue and heard the door towards the cockpit of the plane opened. He looked in front and saw one of the pilots came out and saluted him.
"Sir, we apologize for the delay. We encountered some Abyssal Fighter Mark III, but our counter measures have defeated them." the pilot reported but Gabriel snorted and look away.
"Just land me in one piece." He replied threateningly making the pilot gulped down.
"Y-Yes sir. Expected arrival at Tanegashima is 30-" Gabriel suddenly cast his red eyes at him, glaringly, making the Pilot winced in fright.
"In 10 minutes sir!" the Pilot quickly ran and closed the door again leaving the Reaper who looked out of his window. The seacoast of Japan greeted him with nice beautiful view, however he wasn't marveled by it.
Japan…the country where I'll be exiled. For how I long, I do not know he thought plainly and only closed his eyes as the plane slowly descended.
On top of a seaside cliff, overlooking at a vast ocean, a woman was standing dangerously closed to the edge. Her short white pleated skirt wildly moves together with her long jet-black hair because of the wind. She held her hair with her right hand as she looked behind her, towards a parked jeep.
"So the Concorde plane will land at Tanegashima Military Airport at exactly 10:30 A.M. am I right Mutsu?" her companion, Mutsu, a girl with a short brown hair and similar clothing as hers, look up from the driver sit and smile.
"Exactly 10:30 A.M. Nagato."
"So why's my watch says its already 12 noon?" Nagato cast her red eyes with irritation at the Tanegashima Airport, right across the seaside cliff. She closed her pocket watch forcefully and put it back in her pocket.
"It's because they're late. But its fine," Mutsu calmly said and continued. "Crossing the sea is very difficult, even by the air, because the Abyssals had increased their air force by tenfold."
"Is it because we attack one of their Airfield Princesses last month?" Nagato said as Mutsu replied. "Yes." Mutsu then took out a folder from the compartment and opened it and began to read the contents.
"However the Admiral's work had paid off. United Nations had already recognized our exploits and so they're willing to help us, in defeating the Abyssal Fleet." She flipped many pages as Nagato spoke.
"And in response to that, they'd reformed a long-forgotten heroic group called 'Overwatch'. The Overwatch, responding to our request, then sent one of the best agents to help us hmm." She wondered first and then asked Mutsu again.
"By the way isn't Overwatch a mercenary organization?"
"No, Nagato-nee. Overwatch is a non-profit organization that helped the world against the Omnic crisis. They were disbanded for a while but then they were officially recalled by the U.N. government." Mutsu explained.
"They did that because they'd finally witnessed how dangerous the Abyssals are." She turned to Nagato and continued. "The U.N. kept the existence of the Abyssals a secret because they appeared during the First Omnic Crisis. Preventing a useless panic, they tried to contain them at the Marianas islands."
"But the containment eventually failed. I'm glad however that it was already peace time when that happened." Mutsu smiled gladly at Nagato, seeing her fuming mad state was too cute for her.
"So whom did they sent?" Nagato approached her and looked over the file and onto the photo attached to it. It was a man with brown complexion, probably a Mexican or Caucasian, and a black hair. He looked very tough, Nagato only stared with awe.
"Why his eyes are closed?" she asked but Mutsu only shrugged. "His name is Gabriel Reyes, former commander of Blackwatch, a covert group of the Overwatch. Recalled for action." Mutsu dictated as she flipped the file again.
"His rigging is amazing." She exclaimed as she looked over the file on their newcomer. "He isn't a warship spirit, what is his rigging from?"
"It was a Zumwalt-class Destroyer (DD (X) 2016). The latest and probably the strongest destroyer in history of mankind,"
Naval District
"Oh. It's still marvelous as ever," Fubuki happily stood on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the sea. The sunset light reflected wonderfully in her eyes, making her heart jumped with joy.
"Fubuki-san you-shouldn't -run like that…-"trailing behind her, exhausted from chasing her and carrying a picnic basket, with tired legs was a girl with white and green skirt uniform. She wiped off bids of sweat on her short maroon hair.
"It's a good thing that we're leaving in peace for a while-poi!" another girl with black uniform appeared behind the tired girl. Her red eyes sparkle with delight, seeing the beautiful sunset, as her pink hair moved gently to the wind.
"Fubuki-san, Yuudachi, let's start eating this cakes from Mamiya's."
"Ok then, Mutsuki," Mutsuki and the other three had laid out a wide cover. The three of them sat down and told a lot of stories which made them giggle and laughed with merry, until they eventually landed on new rumors that were circulating around the base.
"I heard we've an exchange student-poi." Yuudachi said while she ate a cake.
"I also heard that one too, and someone said that it was a special- type destroyer too." Fubuki added while fixing her black hair.
"Hmm…" Mutsuki hung her head, in thought, "but I also heard that the exchange student was a man." The two girls exclaimed in shock. A man in the 'Fleet Girls' was very impossible.
"Eh? Man ship-poi?" Yuudachi wondered."
"That's kinda impossible," Fubuki then dismissed but Mutsuki continued. "Well the United Nations had seen our exploits so they send their best men, or is it Kanmusu man, to help us against the Abyssal Fleet." Mutsuki said as Fubuki hung her head too and wondered.
A man? What would he look like then "Well if it is, then I wish he's kind and gentle person." Fubuki wished hopefully and smiled with delight as she ate another cake. Little that the three girls know, right above their heads, a sleek aircraft had passed the Naval District.
And as the plane passes, Gabriel Reyes looked out and cast his red eyes at the Naval district. So that's where will I live from now on. Hmm? He wondered as he formed a wicked smile.
Nagato and Mutsu stood on the end of the tarmac, unaverred from the loud sound coming from the plane in front of them. The plane had finished taxiing at the runway. They watched as a couple of men pushed a flight stairs as the plane's door opened.
Their eyes didn't leave the aircraft, then eventually they saw a person emerge. It was a man wearing a black cloak with a hood covering his head.
That must be him…Nagato and Mutsu concluded each other for the man felt different than the others in the tarmac.
The man approached them both after he turned his head towards them. The two girls looked at him from head to toe. He was wearing a metallic boots, black pants and shirt, he was all black and his physique was strikingly huge and, just like in the photograph, tough.
"You must be 'the 'gift' from the Overwatch', I presume." Nagato began as she and Mutsu saluted the man, receiving a salute in return.
"Indeed, I am. Gabriel Reyes of Overwatch and Zumwalt of the Zumwalt-class destroyers," Gabriel said plainly, his eyes remained close making Mutsu wondered and asked.
"May I ask…Reyes-shan, why are your eyes closed?" Gabriel shifted his head to her and then opened and revealed his red retina with black sclera eyes. The girls where startled. The man's eyes were demonic and frightening.
This is what the Overwatch had sent us? Nagato doubtfully stared at Gabriel.
No wonder why he chose to keep them closed Mutsu swallowed in nervousness as the man stared at them both.
"W-well then," Nagato cleared her throat, regaining her composure, "shall we go, Reyes-shan?" Gabriel only nodded and then three of them silently walked away from the Tarmac.
Dock – Bathhouse
"Good work everyone, another successful expedition has ended for us DesDiv6 (Destroyer Division 6)!" A purple haired and eyes said gladly as she clapped her hand in the middle of a large bath tub. Celebrating with her are her other three group members.
"Khorosho, Akatsuki." a girl with a bleached hair and eyes said to their leader, Akatsuki. "Say Inazuma, Ikazuchi, we did well right?" she asked merrily as the other two looked at each other and nodded together.
"Of course, we retrieved a lot of Bauxite," the reddish-brown hair and eyes, Ikazuchi dictated proudly as the other one with brownish hair and eyes, Inazuma, added "and also opened up a lot of sea channels, nanodesu~," with a smile.
The four girls then continued chatting about their successful mission until their topic had shifted to the rumors that they'd heard around the base's personnel.
"Say guys, have your heard the rumor, about a new ship from another country?" Akatsuki asked first as Ikazuchi butted in.
"I've heard about that, apparently its foreign ship, like Iowa and Bismarck."
"Da," Hibiki only commented, her bleached eyes stared at the hot water around her.
"Not only that though," Inazuma interjected, "I heard it was a man-nanodesu?" the other two girls made a resounding geh, shocked that the new person was a man.
"I heard only from Yamato-sama but I'm not kinda sure." Inazuma said, unsure to the rumors as she looked above and wonder.
"Well if that is then it settles then." Akatsuki suddenly stood up, her eyes sparkled in excitement as she called everyone.
"Everyone, right after this bath, we'll study again the principles on how to become a 'elephant ladies'!" silence loomed for a moment inside the bathroom as the rest of the Destroyer Division 6 looked at each other and sighed.
"Akatsuki-san…it's 'elegant' not 'elephant'." Akatsuki, realizing her mistake, slowly slid herself down on the bath, sinking half of her face which was brimming bright red from embarrassment.
"Here it is, the Naval Base." Mutsu said cheerfully, welcoming the soldier in black. Gabriel look to his right then upward and then downward and stared observantly. The three of them were in front of a high-class and seaside hotel. There wasn't even a sign or a symbol that pertains into naval unit.
"It's only a front though, to avoid confrontation from the third human party." Nagato explained as he only nodded without care.
Gabriel silently followed the two as the three of them entered into a spacious, yet grand, lobby of the hotel.
"Nagato-san, Mutsu-san, welcome back."
"Ah, Yamato-san." Gabriel look in front as the three of them stop. A girl with a long ponytailed brown hair stood and greeted Nagato and Mutsu. She was wearing a whit sleeveless shirt and short red skirt, and a weird headgear in her head that resembles the radar of the biggest WW2 battleship Yamato.
Yamato…? Yamato Battleship? Gabriel stared at her, observing her weird attire until the girl shifted her gaze to him.
"Oh, is he our lovely visitor." Yamato moved her brown eyes at Gabriel whose eyes were closed again.
"Um, by the way, may I ask though…why is your eyes closed?" she asked in a curious manner as Gabriel immediately opened and revealed his unusual red eyes.
Yamato stared at him, unlike the other two's reaction, she looked straight to him and slowly her face reddened. Oh its beautiful… .she quickly move away, hiding her red eyes.
Weird…Gabriel only looked away, in an irate manner. "W-well then shall we go? We have to descend to the basement level so we could official enter the Naval district.
The four of them only nodded and silently walked, the air around them had become awkward.
Naval Pier
"Say, say, have you heard we have a new ship in town?" a twin pigtail brown haired girl said as she sat comfortably at the edge of the pier, her black skirt blew lightly together with her pink uniform.
"I also heard too Sendai-nee. Since we attack an Airfield Princess last month, the admiral is expecting a heavy counter attack from the enemy." A girl with long brown hair and with similar uniform like her, stood beside her and timidly fixed her hair against the wind.
"And so, United Nation's Overwatch Org had decided to help us by sending one of their best soldiers." She added while she marvels the sunset on the horizon.
"Eh? The whole world had seen our exploits?" an excited girl with twin bun hair and similar uniform as them appeared beside her and jumped gleefully, "then that means, they'd seen me! Naka-chan!" she then made an elegant, revealing pose, like that of a pop idol.
"Oh, Sendai-nee! Jintsuu-nee! It's time for me to take on the world!" Naka then made several more pose to no one making her other two sister ships, sighed in reject.
"They'd seen us, Naka-chan, not you." Jintsuu, fixed her long brown hair, dictated making Sendai chuckled. "Doesn't matter, if the person likes night battle, then she'll be my friend!" Sendai declared however unbeknownst to the three Sendai-light cruiser girl ships, Gabriel had already were passing through in front of the pier.
The man stared at them with judging eyes, as if they were nothing compared to him.
So this is the Naval District hmm Gabriel inspected the buildings while he and the others were walking, earlier. The four of them stopped in front of a large building that has a serious design on it. It must be the main Headquarters.
"This is the main headquarters where we plan our attacks and operations." Nagato explained as Mutsu added more information.
"It's also where our leader, the Admiral, lives. Now then let's meet him shall we?" she asked invitingly as the four of them strode passed the threshold. Nagato was about to open the door when it suddenly burst open and a girl with long black hair and white sailor uniform and blue skirts had collided with Nagato's chest.
"Oh sorry, Nagato-san" she fixed her glasses and bowed apologetically at her superior.
"Ooyodo? What's wrong, you seem to be panicking." Nagato asked as the girl quickly saluted and then she reported.
"Our sea plan tenders, Chiyoda and Chitose, had detected a large enemy horde, approaching our Naval base fast." Nagato and Mutsu exchange startled looks before Nagato quickly asked.
"How many enemies?"
"Our over-the-horizon Sonar and Radar had detected a, possibly, hundreds of Destroyer's Ha and Ro-class and 50 I-class elite Destroyers and three Wo-class light cruisers."
That many!? Nagato and Mutsu clicked their tongues and looked at each other. An armada of Abyssal Fleet was coming towards them, and they hadn't fully prepared the whole fleet.
"Nagato, Mutsu, I'm going to lead the defense." Yamato said with determination as the two nodded.
"Mutsu, go and sound the alarm, tell everyone to prepare for defense. Ooyodo, call back the sea plane tenders, we'll need their eyes for this." Mutsu and Ooyodo saluted and ran to their duties. Yamato immediately left to prepare for herself for the battle.
"That leaves with-" Nagato thought for a moment but then she heard a cold voice to her left.
"Nagato, may I sortie out?" she turned around and met the stoic face of Gabriel who seemed to left from their discussion.
How well this guy in this battle? Will he be good? Doesn't matter! Nagato erased her doubt and immediately commanded Gabriel.
"Gabriel Reyes, you may sortie out, your Zumwalt Rigging is already prepared. Now prepare yourself." Nagato plainly said but she was startled after she saw Gabriel's plain stoic face, slowly etch a grin, which exposing his sharp teeth that matches menacingly with his red eyes.
"Thank you…Secretary Ship Nagato." At last…something good is happening now. Gabriel was bored all throughout the day, ever since his arrival. And now that something was happening, his boredom was slowly replaced by excitement and emerging from within him, a long forgotten lust for blood had begun to take control over him.
This man…Nagato nervously stared at his grim smile. Her doubts about him had returned.
Here it is! Leave some reviews please! :)
