SOME HEROES IN THE PAST
Chapter 1: How we met Overwatch
'Ugh, why am I stuck here? I feel good alone, but still... They won't come out anytime soon.'
The RED Sniper was outside, in the cold breeze that was floating in 2Fort. He was watching the BLU base with attention from his large wooden tower, but he was rapidly losing interest. The shining moon in the sky was also disturbing, as its light would blind the Sniper's view temporarily.
A few hours sooner, the RED team decided to arrive early at 2Fort to prepare their base for the fight with the BLU team, which they've never done before. But because of their last fight, the RED team decided to be more aware of the situation, and the meaning of this is simply to be prepared. However, they were not the only ones surprised when they saw the BLU team coming early as well. The two teams went into their respective base, not saying anything, but the RED team wasn't so sure about this. They asked for the Spy to go, well, spy the other team to search for anything that could've been useful. And the Spy went into the base, not from the bridge, but from the sewers. He went down the stairs leading to the RED sewers, and into the water under the wooden bridge connecting the two bases. He kept on swimming until he reached the BLU sewers, and keep going his way, picking an ammo pack on the way. It could be useful if his watch suddenly run out of battery. Before exiting the BLU sewers, he activated his Invisibility watch, and entered the BLU base. He quickly made his way to the corner, and took it to arrive to an open place, with 2 staircases from each side. He took the one to his right, and once he was done climbing it, he was right next to the BLU spawn, and close to a long corridor with many turns, that led to the intel room. He instead decided to put his ear next to the spawn door, and he could catch some parts of a discussion.
"Soldier and Demoman, get..."
"Unders..."
"Sc... et the brie..."
He couldn't hear more for a few moments, as the Spy was busy replacing the battery of his watch with the ammo pack he collected. He went back to the spawn door, but quickly gets away when he heard footsteps coming towards him. He watched in silence as the BLU Engineer got out, looking to his left, then to his right, and again to his left, before returning back in his spawn. However, for some reasons that Spy didn't know, he lets the door open, allowing the Spy to fully hear and see what was going on.
"I was sure I heard someone using an ammo pack... Anyway, we may have beat the RED team today, but they will surely be more aware of our actions from now on. Pyro, your job will be to keep that pesky Spy out of mah buildings." The pyromaniac nodded, as Engi went on with his plan. Spy shivered a little as he saw the BLU Pyro, but understood he will needs to be more careful around the Engineer's buildings. "Medic, your job will be to prepare an assault on the base with Heavy. Try to get that... how's it call again?"
"An übercharge! An übercharge, dummkopf!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Heavy, you know your job. Kill cowards, be happy, stay healthy, eat sandvich, protect Medic."
"Da, this'll work."
"Good, big boy. Sniper, please, try to get the other Sniper."
"Yeah, mate. He's a joke compare to me-"
A loud noise was heard from the entire BLU team.
'Ah, merde.'
The Spy went for a sprint, quickly going out of the BLU base. When he looked over his shoulder, he saw the Pyro running behind him, flare gun in hands. He shots one projectile, that the Spy avoided by simply jumping. The second projectile was also avoided by a quick side-step, but the third landed right on the RED team member. Spy kept on running, slower than before, and as he stepped inside his base, he felt extreme pain as the Pyro begun burning the Spy to his dead. In the blink of an eye, the Spy was dead, as the Pyromaniac taunted by raising his flamethrower over his head. He then walked back slowly to his base, while the Spy reappeared inside his base.
"Spah? Everything went well over here, boy?" The Engineer asked to the extremely exhausted member.
"Yes, they found me out and send the BLU Pyro to catch me," the Spy answered.
"Before, the Pyro was a joke for you. And now, he beats you in a 1-on-1?" The Sniper asked, confused.
The Spy sighed before answering a short yes. The Sniper obviously looked disappointed that the fearsome Spy lose to a joke. Well, the BLU team surely improved, but still, it should be easy.
"But now, they know we spied them, and they'll probably send the BLU Spy here too."
"Heavy will crush tiny cowards. And then, Heavy will crush them again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and ag-"
"Ok, we understand, big guy," the Scout said to the Heavy, annoyed.
"No Heavy, we don't need a fight happening now. Sniper, go on that wooden tower you built and watch them over. If they come out, get them."
"May I ask a question?" The Medic asked.
"Yeah?"
"The atmosphere is too depressive! Let's dance!"
On these words, the Medic started dancing the Mannrobics, a special dance the mercs made when they were bored. He was soon joined by the Heavy, the Soldier, and the Scout. More team members joined them, except the Spy, the Sniper and the Engineer.
"Boys, I'll go work over at my workshop. I have a special project I'm currently working on. Spah, rest a bit, you need it. Sniper, you know what to do."
The Engineer exited the spawn room to quickly head towards the intel room, where his workshop(temporary, he'll soon move it over to the RED base) was located. The Sniper exited too, but heads towards the exit instead, to jump off the building and directed himself towards his wooden tower. The Spy simply lay down on one of the bench next to the resupply locket.
"Yeah, that's how I got stuck here... stupid Engineer," the Sniper said out-loud.
That's when something got his attention. A blue silhouette quickly becoming invisible.
'You're a genius, Engi...'
The Sniper scoped in, and shot a bullet where he thought the Spy was. Soon enough, blood came out, as a shout was heard from the mediocre Spy.
"Boom. Headshot."
The Sniper quickly climbed down the ladder, and went rapidly inside his base. But he suddenly turned around as soon as he heard some fast-paced, quiet footsteps behind him. The Spy had his knife in his hands, and he quickly swiped towards the Sniper. The Sniper received the slash right in his belly, taking him by surprise. A second slash followed up, this time in his hips. The BLU Spy had blood in his face, meaning he did received a bullet in the head, but what the Sniper didn't understand is how he survived. He back-pedaled quickly, dodging every new slashes. Turning around a corner, he got a jar with a yellow liquid inside, and threw it right as the Spy turned the corner. He then got out his kukri, and engaged the fight with the BLU Spy. What he wasn't expecting is the revolver the Spy was now holding in his hands. Out of the six shots the Spy shot, none registered against the Sniper, and he quickly sliced the Spy's head. The lifeless and headless body of the BLU team member fell on the ground.
"You got blood on my knife, mate!" The RED Sniper taunted as he took his hat off to swipe a few tears of sweat away.
The Sniper quickly went back in his spawn room, and as soon as he entered, the Medic saw him.
"Mein Gott! Are you okay, Sniper?" The Medic asked, worried.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," the Sniper replied.
He walked towards the resupply locket, and as soon as he opened it, the Spy saw him.
"What happened back there?" The Spy asked to his teammate.
"Just fought your BLU counterpart, nothing new." The Sniper replied, as he takes a large health kit from the resupply locker.
"So Engineer was right... We'll thank him later I guess," the Spy said.
Sniper quickly looked around to see his surroundings. The Heavy and the Demoman were having a drinking contest, the Scout was currently watching the new baseball season, the Soldier was having an intense staring contest with a dummy, the Medic was watching the drinking contest(before the Sniper came in) and the Pyro was watching(with a lot of interest) the staring contest of Soldier. Of course, the Spy was still on his bench, which gave a hint that he may have slept while the Sniper was outside watching the BLU base.
"Engineer's not back?" The Sniper asked to the Medic.
"Nein! But I think ve should get him..."
"HAHAHAHAHA! I WIN! I WIN!" The Heavy shouted out-loud.
"Heavy, you are not busy anymore, hm?" The Medic asked.
"Nyet!"
"Well, go watch over Engi, mate," the Sniper said. "You'll celebrate later."
"Da!"
Heavy left the RED spawn and went for the corridor with many turns that led to the intel room. As soon as he was done, he went for the Intel room, and opened a glass door which was written 'Engineer's Workshop: DO NOT DISTURB!'. He ignored what was written and open the door. He made his way inside and then close it. He walked inside the huge room, and he saw many projects around him. There were scrapped ones, unfinished ones, or even functionable ones. He saw a dispenser who was smaller and in a round shape, with 'Pocket Dispenser' written on it, he saw an unfinished mini-sentry, who seemed to be quite old judging by all the dust on it and he saw a green teleporter, who was scrapped, so Heavy couldn't know more about it. But his eyes landed on one particular building, something he had dream of for so long; a sandvich dispenser.
"My god... this is the best thing! THE BEST THING!" Heavy said laughing.
"Fat boy? It's you?"
Heavy turned around and saw the Engineer standing here, crossed arms.
"Didn't you see the sign on the door, boy?" The Engineer asked, insulted.
"Da, but tiny men upstairs said to come take you back!"
"Well, boy, I'm busy right now. I don't have time for silly things like celebrating."
"What are you doing?"
"Well, fat boy, I'm currently working on a new type of teleporter. One that will take us back in time."
"Why do tiny Engineer needs to go back in time?"
"Don't you remember our defeat yesterday? How they simply destroyed us?"
"Da, but Heavy will crush tiny cowards tomorrow!"
"Boy, I don't care about this. What angers me is how the perfect run we had simply got erased. I mean, yes, it was becoming quite boring, but at least, all those victories row-by-row was satisfying. And that's why I need this teleporter. To go back in time, prepare ourselves and simply keep on our perfect run," the Engineer explained.
"But why would you crush tiny cowards yesterday when you can do it tomorrow?" The Heavy asked, confused.
"Boy, don't try to understand. Just give me a few more minutes and I'll be done."
The Engineer didn't wait for an answer as he went back behind a shelf of books and sit back in his chair to work. The words Engineer said turned in Heavy's head, and that's when he remembered what happened yesterday.
(Flashback)
11AM, Harvest
Another fight was happening between the mercenaries. Of course, you could say it was normal, the RED team was leading again, etc. But if you said that, you are wrong. The BLU team was winning, and the RED team was simply stuck in their spawn. On the roof in front of the spawn, the Soldier and the Demoman, exploding anyone who dares get out. Right next to the spawn, the Pyro, the Heavy and the Medic, supported by a dispenser, mowing down anyone who dares getting out. On the point, the Engineer, defending it with his sentry gun, and a teleporter in case. The Sniper at the window, waiting for an innocent mercenary who would, by miracle, survive to the spawn camp. The Spy, everywhere at any time, waiting for a mercenary he could freshly backstab and laugh at his dead body right after. The Scout, travelling the battlefield to see if there would be a mercenary they left out. The RED team was stuck. Who could've imagine they'd become this good? The Scout was at his full potential, moving around and dodging everything as if it was a joke. The Soldier, now fully rocket jumping around and blowing up anyone on his way. The Pyro, who became much more aware and deadlier with his brand new Flare Gun. The Demoman, putting sticky traps here and there, and detonating them at will whenever a stupid mercenary tried crossing it. The Heavy, now fully moving when shooting, using his sandvich in case anything happens, beating up people with his brand new Killing Gloves of Boxing. The Engineer, putting his buildings at the good place, taking everyone by surprise, and giving full support to his team. The Medic, healing anyone and now popping the deadly übercharge on the good targets(he once popped it on a Spy... we were all ashamed). The Sniper, who became a real threat, killing anyone who dares enter his field of view. And finally, the Spy, whom was hiding everywhere, and coming out at anytime to kill those RED mercenaries... red with blood all over their back. The RED team simply couldn't believe it. These guys were a joke, and now they are so good that they may even be better than the RED team? The RED Heavy couldn't accept that. Nor is the RED Medic, who was currently preparing an übercharge. These fu***rs won't come out alive, that's for sure.
"Ready to charge!"
"Now doctor! Charge me!"
As the duo came out, the BLU Demoman exploded his sticky bombs. The only effect is that both the Medic and the Heavy find themselves right next to him due to knockback, and he, along with his camping pal Soldier, were soon dead. The now fully invincible duo jumped off the roof to land right next to a shocked Pyro, who quickly got killed. But the BLU Medic's answer to this überpush was another übercharge.
"Dummkopf!" The RED Medic angrily shouted at the other Medic.
The RED Heavy quickly went away towards the spawn, leaving the RED Medic alone in face of an angry BLU Heavy. And then, the übercharge died for the RED Medic. But before he met his fate, the Medic heard the sound of a sentry gun, and the loud shouting of a Heavy in the distance. As the RED Medic got killed, the voice of the administrator was heard through the megaphones.
"YOU FAILED!"
(End of flashback)
Heavy was now angry at what happened. He left his friend alone, only to save himself. He was expecting the über to die, but didn't say it to the Medic. And how he got kill by this sentry gun made him even angrier. HE was the one to destroy sentries. It wasn't the SENTRIES who destroy him. He went towards the Engineer, but the man already came back to where Heavy originally was.
"Ah Heavy! I was hoping you didn't leave... Listen fat boy, I'm not entirely done with my project, but I think it's pretty good so far. Think you can help me bring it upstairs so the team can see it? It's quite heavy, so yeah..."
"Da!"
Heavy followed Engi to a table where a black teleporter, who was shining with multiple colors instead of the usual red one, was sitting. Heavy took it with one arm, and followed Engineer again to the RED spawn.
"So fat boy, what were you doing upstairs?"
"I win drink contest!"
"Hahaha! Against who? Demo?"
"Yes!"
"Well, he's quite easy to beat, boy... Hahahaha!"
They both laughed at how true it was. Demo never won a drinking contest against a member of the team, except Pyro, Spy and Sniper who refused to have a drinking contest. As Engineer opened the spawn door, a panicky Scout came out, quickly followed by an angry Soldier.
"MAGGOT! YOU MADE ME LOSE MY STARING CONTEST!" The Soldier angrily shouted while running behind the Scout.
"I didn't mean to! SOMEONE! HELP ME!" Scout said in extreme fear.
The Scout kept running around, but eventually use Heavy as a shield to protect himself from Soldier.
"Help me, Heavy! If you do, I'll stop calling you pancakes, fat man, uhh... and any other name that concerns your fa-weight!" The Scout begged.
"Get out of the way, commie! This maggot needs to pay with some american justice..." Soldier said to Heavy.
"Please! Calm down, both of you! My project right here is almost done, I don't need it to break!" Engineer begged, hoping they would listen.
"But he needs to pay! He made me lose MY staring contest!"
"All I did is ask you to come watch that goal!"
"Heavy do not like fight between babies! You both need your bottle!"
"Boys, gently go back into the spawn, and Soldier, you'll give him his american justice later," Engineer said in an attempt to calm down.
The Soldier simply grunted as he went back in the spawn. The Scout sighed before going back too. The Engineer didn't let it show, but he was extremely relieve that his invention was now safe.
"You know what maggot? YOU NEED YOUR AMERICAN JUSTICE NOW!" The Soldier said before running towards an extremely scared Scout.
"Gah running!"
The Scout started running towards Heavy, hitting him on the way. Heavy lost his balance, but he immediately fall as the Soldier hit him too.
"NO! My time-travelling teleporter!"
The teleporter was broken and on the ground, but it catches everyone's attention when it started flashing. At first, it wasn't all that bad, but as it went on, the flashing became so intense, that at one point, everyone was blinded. When it stopped, everyone was staring in awe as 23 figures was standing in front of them.
"Oh my! That was quite a trip, right luvs?"
Leave review please haha. Hope you enjoyed the huge editing I did to this chapter. In hope to see you all in a bright future,
