'Thought'
LOCKSEED
In the vast reaches of the universe, where the cosmos, stars, and emptiness of space reached. Several stars twinkled in the depths as the lives that thrive there live on. But out in one area looked to be a planet, one that at first glance looked to be filled with life. But this was just the outside.
On the surface of the planet, what reigned there was nothing more than the remains of the civilisation that use to live there. Killed and either lying dead or becoming nothing more than food for the plant life. And among it was several odd plants, most of them covered in vines with off purple fruits being bear on their vines.
A sigh was sounded off as a hand reached down to pet the head of the deceased corpse before the sun revealed a robed man. While his face was covered, his eyes could be shown and it showed the signs of sadness and disappointment.
"And here I thought you all could try and win…." The male said softly, "Unfortunately, seems none of your were prepared for this, and I'm sorry you had to fall." He then stood up as he looked up to the night sky as a curious yet worried look plastered in his eyes, 'I wonder if there will be a world that can exceed my expectations from the first one I evolved?' He said in his thoughts before turning into motes of light. The small motes began to lift up into the air as it quickly reached the emptiness of space, flowing through it at such speeds as this being began to look.
"If this world failed, maybe this one could succeed? After all, they're already in the midst of chaos and disorder. Maybe a little… 'push' is all they need to finally evolve?" The voice of the male said as he chuckled, "I wonder if they're ready to face against destiny?" The voice said as it approached a familiar blue planet.
Overwatch: Key of Destiny
Chapter 1: A Future World! An Orange from the Sky?!
The sun was shining through the clouds as many were bundled as winter was drawing close. The cold temperatures being close to freezing. Despite the cold weather, it didn't bother most of the citizens in the city as snow blanketed the ground.
In one part of the city as civilians were carrying bags and such for the holidays. On the sidewalk, a young man was carrying boxes as he peeks left and right to make sure he was walking the right way.
"Pardon me… excuse me." He said as he walks, avoiding from bumping into anyone.
Some people were confused as to why he's carrying it all alone, while others did their best to avoid him. It was odd as some wanted to help out, but they were too busy or didn't care to try and help out the young man.
He stumbled a bit but regained his balance before he finally made it to his home. He approached the door before he reached in his pocket but with the boxes being carried, he dropped the keys.
"Damn it…" he groaned as he tried to reach for it, only for his foot to slip and cause him to fall as the boxes fell off of him before all of it landed on him, burying him in boxes.
"Do you need assistance, human?" A robotic voice called out from nearby.
The only response was a hand coming out of the piles of boxes the young man was buried in and made a hesitant 'no' gesture before he pulled his arm down into the boxes.
"Very well…." The robotic voice said before walking away until the young man couldn't hear the robotics body anymore.
He slowly lifted his head as one box slowly fell off of him, revealing the young man being 19 with black hair that was short yet messy and spiky. He had light ivory skin and dark brown eyes. His clothing consisted of a black coat with dark pants and boots while wearing a gray scarf and gloves to keep himself warm.
Looking around him seeing the boxes scattered, he sighed before he began to stack the boxes. It was rather stressful for him at times but he still pulled through. Even after everything that happened in the Omnic Crisis, it still took a heavy toll on him.
After gathering his boxes, he finally got into his room as he laid them down before plopping on the couch to rest. His room, looking neat, and the area seemed to be a bit expensive for someone his age. Along the middle room looked to be a large TV, complete with many games and movies, though the movies looked to almost be foreign, while others weren't. The only thing they had in common was the fact of one single girl was plastered on the front cover of each film.
"I'm back," he said. Yet oddly enough, there was no response, as if he was waiting for someone to welcome him back. Hearing no response, he sighed before he walked over to the stand nearby, revealing a younger version of himself, along with 3 other people.
A saddened look marred his features as he stared at the photo, his mind hearing the memories of that time. The sounds of those machines, the gunfire… all of it… It was something he could never forget, even if he wanted to. Only fear and loss.
He shook his head as he took deep breaths, remembering what he was told. Upon calming down, he removed his scarfs and gloves before removing his coat, revealing a gray shirt.
He heard a small bark in which he noticed by the bed was a small place for a dog and on the tiny bed was a Shiba Inu pup with fur as white as the snow.
"I'm okay, Aki," he assured softly, gently petting him. It whimpered at him, knowing that today was the anniversary day.
The young man glanced at the calendar, noticing the time of day and saw it was truly the day of how long it has been since that moment that fate took away everything from him. The only company he has now was the Shiba Inu pup he has been taking care of for some time now.
But before he began to lose to his thoughts, his Terminal rang up, showing a new message. He blinked as he shook his head before bringing it up. The message was from one of his games, showing a familiar friend was now online and asking him to get on. A small smile formed on his face, knowing at least he has someone to talk to during these hard days.
Glancing at his game system, he sat up before he gently starts up the game before he gently grabbed his pet and sets him on his lap. He logged in, his gamer tag being 'Hopeful_Samurai'. He was always a fan of the far eastern culture and the history, evidence being the pup and the mangas he reads often.
[Heya, Samurai! ;) ] A message popped up by his best friend online, with the gamertag known as 'Nerf_Gremlin'.
He chuckled before he responded, [Hey Gremlin, how is everything?]
[Same ol' same ol' Sam-Sam. X3 Felt like playing with ya right now. Especially since I'm off today from my 'work' and the meeting with another company trying to give me a good 'deal'.] 'Nerf_Gremlin' responded.
[Again? How many time has it been since you been given offers?]
[This will make it the 5,000th offer… -_-] The gamer responded, seemingly annoyed from the several offers.
[You never told me why you have been given offers?] He asked, curious. He was always curious about why his friend is given offers. He assumed because of how Gremlin plays. It was like playing with a Pro Gamer.
[You'll find out someday. Maybe when you come to the next Con? I'll happily give you some personal tours. ;) ] The gamer responded, teasingly to him.
He froze for a moment before he replied, [I'll… pass on the offer… but thanks...]
[Samurai… I know you're scared to come out here, as well as... 'Today'. But you can't change if you don't take the chance! Sides, what's the worst that could happen? Please… for me? :'( ]
The young man was quiet for a moment upon reading the message before glancing at the photo then at the console. He was hesitating… he couldn't leave the only place he stayed at after all that happened. It was the only place… the only city that made him feel safe since the Omnic Crisis. He has never left the city, not once. He witnessed the ravages of the war… and it was hell… it was frightening for him.
His fingers were shaking ever so until he took deep breaths and slowly pressed a few keys.
[A… Alright… I'll… go…]
[OwO Yay! I'll send you your tickets and hotel room with ease! Trust me, you'll love this Con!]
[Okay…]
[Now, no more sad faces. Let's play! ^w^]
A small smile graced his lips before he replied, [Right, let the games begin!]
It wasn't even a day as he soon got the tickets for the convention. And oddly enough, sides it having VIP and Backstage passes, the hotel room showed to be the suite, which made him surprised to see this. Just how much money does his friend even have? And the dates showed the convention would start next week, but the plane tickets showed to start tomorrow. His friend must want him to get there earlier so they could hang out.
Not to mention, he would be finding out who the 'Nerf_Gremlin' is since the player was definitely a pro gamer. When they both played, Nerf_Gremlin literally won by full swing, surprising him once again. Looking at the ticket, he showed he was going to South Korea surprisingly. So not only he was leaving the city, he was leaving the country, and into one he was not familiar with at all!
He glanced at his pet Shiba Inu pup who was in his cage knowing that he was coming along as well. "You think everything will be okay?" He asked. His dog barked at him happily, his tail wagging, trying to show him everything will be alright.
"Alright…." He sighed before grabbing the cage and his bags and walked out of his home. Closing the door behind him and locked the door, he was about to leave but upon exiting, he noticed a package on his doorstep. No mail address or even a stamp. It's as if someone just dropped it off for no reason.
He sets the cage down before examining the box. "Why would someone leave this on my doorstep…?" He asked himself. He stared at it before he decided to open it when he gets to South Korea. And upon walking out of his apartment, revealed a limousine for him, showing a driver holding up a card with his gamer tag on it.
Seeing his surprised him greatly. He never saw this coming at all. Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, he approached the limousine and entered the vehicle albeit nervously.
"Do not worry sir…. We shall take you to your convention thanks to Ha- Ahem… I mean, Nerf_Gremlin." The driver said to him, reassuring this was happening.
"R-Right."
Once the limousine took off, it didn't take them long to reach an airport. But instead of a large plane, it was nothing more than a private jet, and this is all for him and being paid by his friend! This was just ridiculous! How much money does his friend have?!
"This way, sir…. We won't be long before we reach South Korea…." He said, opening the door for him as he then boards the plane before it takes off. He was nervous and quiet the whole time as the travel continues.
'Do you believe in destiny?'
He was gotten out of his stupor and looked around him upon hearing the voice. He rubbed his eyes and made sure what he heard but saw there was no one else around. This made him confused but he pushed that aside and closed his eyes once more, allowing sleep to take over.
'You need to wake up…. Enrique. You need to wake up!' A soft, female voice rang in his ears.
The now said boy opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. Though, upon opening his eyes, he notices an odd glow over him. The sun looked foggy and the area seemed like a filtered effect from a photo. The ground was covered in grass, and odd plant life and among them showed many different flora and fruits.
"I ask again… Do you believe in destiny?" The voice called out, now behind him.
"What…?" He was confused before he turned around to the source of the voice.
Behind him was a very beautiful girl, with long blonde hair, with one red eye and one purple eye. She wore a white tunic which exposed her shoulders and white pants with dark leather boots. Her features looking to be of Asian descent, possibly in the Far East. "I ask you, Enrique. Do you believe in destiny?" She repeated herself.
"Destiny…?" He repeated.
"If you do, you'll be going down a path no one else can follow. One that will lead to either the safety of this world or its destruction…. Either one can happen, but that all lies with your choices…." She said, now behind him once more.
"I…. I'm not sure…" He responded.
"You must decide, Enrique. You're the only hope for this world."
"But… why me?"
"It is what destiny has decided, Enrique. You must either choose… Before the entity of war takes over…" She said, pointing at something behind him.
Enrique turned, only to be greeted by a fiery ruined Earth. People running away or being slaughtered on site by odd, fiery armored beasts. And up near the top rose a shadowy figure, brandishing a sword and shield as fire surrounded it.
"Exercise caution, for fate… is trying to choose you."
"What are you talking about? What is going on?"
"Helheim…. is invading…." Is all she could say before everything began to turn white.
"Sir? We have arrived…." The butler said, now standing over him.
The young man, his name being Enrique, opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, his vision greeted with reality. He yawned while rubbing his eyes as he looked over the glass and saw the city below. To him, it was something new to see but he could tell that from up there, there were some signs of a battle that happened. However he was left in his thoughts upon the dream he had, left with questions that were being left unanswered.
"Please be ready to land. The hotel is not too far off from our landing point." The butler said, as in front showed a very large hotel, almost like a tower as they begin to approach it.
"A-Alright," He nodded as he felt the plane landed before exiting the aircraft. The place was all so new to him.
"This way, sir…" Nearby was another limousine waiting for him. He followed the butler into the limousine as the latter began driving him to the hotel. For Enrique, he was staring out the window as the dog cage was on his lap.
Along the drive there, the city was bright and colorful as it showed off many highlights of the city. Including several posters of , the youngest girl to gain a M.E.K.A and fight for South Korea. Since then she had become a superstar around the world. Playing many games, being the star in many movies and more, she was a very popular girl and no one could forget about her. She was a global icon after all.
Despite it being new to him, he was very nervous since he hasn't left the city he lived in for a long time. And while the worry was starting to get to him, he soon felt his dog wiggle in the cage before barking softly, trying to help him out.
"I'll be okay," He said to his pet with a soft smile.
"We have arrived." He looked out the window and saw the hotel. He took deep breaths as the passenger door opened and allowed him to exit. Carrying his belongings, he followed the butler to into the hotel before they were in the lobby.
"Please wait here," The butler insisted before he walked away.
For the young man, he waited as he looked at his surroundings once more. He felt his hands tremble ever so slightly but he took deep breaths to calm himself down. "I have to get used to this…" He muttered to himself.
"So, you're finally here. Hopeful_Samurai." A female voice rang out, and one he knew all too well.
He lifted his head before his eyes shot up like rockets upon seeing the source of the voice. The person he was seeing was a young girl his age with a blue jumpsuit with pink edges on certain parts of her suit, filled the brim with product ads, and a familiar pink bunny logo on the chest. She had medium long, brown hair with a very perky smirk on her face and unique bunny ear headphones on her head. This was none other than the famous Hana Song, aka .
"It took me awhile, but I'm glad you're here, Sam-Sam." She winked at him.
"Y-You're…" He pointed at her, surprised and shocked.
"Hehe, surprised? Well, you can freak out once we get you to your room, Sam-Sam." She smiled, taking his arm into her as she began to drag him to the elevator.
He was completely speechless. The gamer he is friends with is none other than Hana Song! The Hana Song! He never expected for this to happen, however, he then realized something.
"W-Wait, you're Nerf_Gremlin!?" He realized until his eyes widened more. "Then that means you're actually D-"
"Shh!" She placed her hand over his mouth before looking around, once all clear she lets go of his mouth, "Once we get to your room, I'll tell you everything. But for now, please be quiet?"
He nodded in response as he followed her. Mentally, he was excited to meet her but the other part of him told himself to not think on that too much and simply wonder why him? Why of all people, that Hana Song invites him to her home country. Her fans would do anything just to meet her up close and in person.
"Here we are!" She smiled, opening the door to the suite, showing a very large room, complete with amazing decor, flora, and more. Even a two person gaming room as Hana shut the door and smiled, "Now that we're here. Yes. I'm Nerf_Gremlin." She smiled, "I had to make a new account to make sure the fans don't pile onto me. It's basically my way of relaxing and not worry about any press."
"B-But… why me…?" Enrique asked nervously. "I-I mean, your Hana Song, one of the world famous professional Gamers and an actress."
She smiled, booping his nose, "It's cause you're my friend Samurai." She informed him, "You're the first friend I made on this new account, and one…. I have no problem with revealing everything to you." She smiled softly, "Plus, I've always wanted to hang out with a nice guy like you. But you didn't tell me you were such a cutie." she giggled. He blinked before he blushed, turning his head away as he rubbed the back of his head. "So what is your real name?" She asked, curious.
"My name? Oh, my name is Enrique. Enrique Alderete," He replied
"Well then, Enrique. Welcome to South Korea!" she beamed, "This room is yours to use ANY time you want. Even after the convention!"
"W-Wait, seriously?"
She nods, "Plus, you're joining me in the VIPs place at the convention next week. For now, it'll be just me and you hanging out."
This surprised him before Hana heard her device ring. "Oh! Be right back, gotta answer this." She smiled before leaving the room. Once on the other side of the room, Hana answered the device, "Hey Lena, what's up?"
"Hana. We found another one of those portals… It's near the hotel you're in." Lena said to her.
"What?" She gasped. "At a time like this? You can't be serious, Lena."
"I'm sorry, luv…. But you need to get everyone out of there before someone is attacked by those weird monsters," Lena ordered her.
Hana glanced at the other room, seeing Enrique look at his surroundings. She grimaced knowing that her best friend is here and there was a chance of him getting hurt. "How long until you and Winston can get here?"
"At least 2 hours…. I'm sorry Hana, and we tried not to tell you this. But we have no choice." Lena said with a sad tone.
"Alright," She nodded before ending the call before she quickly rushed out of the room.
"Hana? Where are you going?" Enrique asked.
"Oh uh… Just something the owner of the hotel wants of me. Don't worry about me, Enrique, and please just stay here." She smiled, "I won't be gone long, alright?"
"A-Alright," He nodded before Hana left the room.
With Hana, she quickly rushed out and made her way to the elevator before it went to the main floor. She rushed out of the building before she looked around and luckily it was a good chance to activate it. "I play to win," She grinned as an energy formed in front of her.
At the employee parking lot, a small ripple was forming. In seconds a large zipper formed as it slowly unzipped itself, revealing a massive forest in the back, complete with flora and fruits. But it didn't take long before something crawled out of it.
It had a gray body, resembling some kind of bug with wide black eyes and a green coloring to some portions of its body. It also had two large claws and a small jaw filled with teeth. It began to sniff the area as it began to walk out, only for more of those creatures to come out slowly.
They began to notice the surroundings before some of the other creatures notice a few people. They roared at them as the civilians began to run in fear of the monsters. Some began to tear down some food stands and began consuming while others were destroying the surroundings.
One young woman tripped onto the ground, seeing her ankle twisted before she looked up, only to crawl away from the approaching creature, "P-Please! Don't kill me!" She pleaded.
It approached until numerous bullets stopped it and fell back into an explosion.
What landed in front of the woman was a pink MEKA unit with a few designs but inside it was Hana Song, aka D. Va. "Get to safety!"
"M-My ankle…" The woman said, trying to move it, though only experiencing pain.
D. Va grimaced before she saw the other monsters slowly approaching the duo due to the two civilians . She fired more rounds onto the monsters as she provides cover for the civilian. "Come on, Tracer, Winston, you guys better hurry…" She grimaced.
Enrique waited… and waited as he stayed in the room. However just as he was, he suddenly heard explosions and gunshots echoing outside, causing him to jump. His pet pup barked upon hearing the sounds as the young man quickly covered his ears as he slowly peeks from the window to see what was going on.
Outside was what looked to be a MEKA, and the color of it was easy to figure out it being . The bigger question is what she was fighting? He was unable to tell what it was due to the height of the hotel, but it must've been something.
Another explosion was heard, causing him to take cover as he held his ears. He hated those familiar sounds of combat. But what made his skin crawl is when he started hearing screams in the hallways, followed by some odd creature noises. He quickly rushed to the door and slowly opened it before peeking through and noticed some monsters that looked horrifying as they were trying to bust down some of the other doors. However one of the creatures took notice of him, causing him to slam the door closed, locking it, even putting up something to block it.
He felt the door trying the to be busted down as he covered his ears, remembering those memories of that day. But it became futile as the door was knocked down as the creatures began to walk in, growling at him.
He quickly grabbed the cage that held his pet as he hugged the cage tightly, now scared. Even his pet Shiba Inu was whimpering in fear as Enrique closed his eyes.
'Remember, it's your destiny to save your world…' That same, soft voice called out. As Enrique opened his eyes and turned to the package he has yet to open. He looked at the monsters then at the package. Whatever it was, something was calling to him. He didn't know why but he quickly held the cage tightly before he grabbed the box. Making a run for it, he rushed out of the room as the creatures chased after him.
He panted as he soon reached the roof of the hotel, the wind blowing around him as he looked down at the package before turning back to the small horde of the creatures, giving him no way out.
It was the dreadful fear of dying that was overcoming him. He didn't want to die…
He wants to live…
'Do you believe in destiny?' The same voice asked the same question. He slowly looked at the package in his right hand before he opened it to reveal a black buckle with a small yellow knife on the left side of the belt, attached to it while the right side was a blank 'plate'. He was confused during the panic as he also wonders why a buckle?
But he didn't have enough time to focus as he noticed another thing inside. It looked to be a padlock with an image orange on the front with the words 'L.S - 07' on it. And upon taking it out, the creatures hissed at him, before one of them marched forward, smacking him as he began to fall off the hotel's roof.
Aki barked as Enrique held the cage tightly while the buckle landed on his waist, forming a yellow belt that hugged his waist. Upon doing so, a Japanese horn sounds off as the blank plate formed into a multicolored image, showing an armored samurai's helmet.
'Will you follow this path? Or will you fall? The choice is up to you…' The voice rang in his head.
"I… I choose…" He gripped the padlock tighter, looking at it as he grits his teeth, "I choose to live!" He shouted out, before he flicked the small lever as it unlocked the padlock.
ORANGE!
Once that sounded off, a zipper formed below him as what popped out looked to be a large, metallic orange as it began to float to him. He looked at the padlock, trying to figure out how this works? But as he moved his hand along the grooves, he looked down at the belt before placing it on it and locking it into place.
LOCK ON!
A tune began to play as a Japanese horn, mixed with techno tunes began to play. He didn't know what was going on, but if this meant he could survive, then he'll take the chance! He then gripped the knife before cutting the padlock with ease, revealing an inner side, showing a cut orange and a sword below it.
SOIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!
The metal orange landed on his shoulders, engulfing his head. His body rippled and became covered in a dark blue bodysuit which had quilted leather, perfect for fighting. On his arms and legs were golden bracers and leg coverings which added extra protection. On his side was a black sword with a gold line on the blade with a trigger under the sword guard and the cross-like guard looked like it actually doubled as a gun. Inside the metal orange, Enrique's head became covered in a blue helmet with a silver mouthguard, a dark gray visor, and a sword-like decoration on the forehead.
After the helmet formed, another change occurred. A samurai-like helmet landed with extra decorations made of studded orange steel and the visor turned orange, looking like an orange slice. The orange sparks and began to disassemble, the sides folding in half to form the shoulder pads, the chest plate with a black line on top, and leaning on his back was the top of the orange with the silver inside facing out.
He crashed into a pile of boxes as the cage landed on his stomach. He quickly panicked at his dog's cage before he frantically looks inside, "Aki!" He looked inside and saw the dog whimpering ever so softly. He hugged the cage with relief before he noticed what happened to his body. Looking at himself, he was literally in some armor in the form of a samurai.
"E-Eh…?" He realized what he became. He was actually in armor to that of a samurai and an orange!
But he didn't have time to rest as those creatures came falling down, landing near him as they hissed at him, before charging ahead, ready to attack him, claws ready to shred through his flesh, should he lose his armor.
He yelped as he looks at his side to see his weapon as he frantically ducks from one of the monster's claws before he quickly moved away as he hides the cage with Aki inside, into a large box to hide him before quickly getting out of cover. "Over here!" He waved his hands.
The monsters roared at him before chasing after him. They followed after him but they seemed a bit quicker as they were able to deal a few strikes on him, as sparks casted off from the strike, making him tumble to the ground.
"C-Crap… that hurt…" He grits in pain. But he quickly got back him as he continued to draw them away until he reached a dead end of the hotel, leaving on the entrance to be blocked by those creatures.
They growled and hissed at him as they began to approach him. He was now surrounded and no way out. The only way he would survive this is if he fought them.
Just as one of the beasts lunged at him, he ducked as it missed him before he moved away as another monster tries to attack him. In a splash of orange juice, a sword appeared in his right hand as he swung. The sword itself was a scimitar, with a blade reminiscent of an orange slice. His hand gripping the orange blade tightly, he sliced it across the monster, ripping off sparks as he dug into its hide. It barked out a cry of pain as it staggered from the blow.
He looked at the scimitar, realizing the sword actually hurt it.
"N-No…. I don't want this!" He shouted in fear, tossing the orange scimitar away, as he didn't want to wield the weapon. But as soon as another creature came, he brought out the other one on his side, only reacting on instinct as he held up the blade, gripping on the handle tighter as he accidentally squeezed the trigger on the grip.
BANG!
Then he froze.
A gun. The sword had a gun built in!
He was holding a gun!
He dropped it like it was a hot piece of coal and trembled. "N-No… not this thing too…" He shook before he gripped his head, shaking in fear as those long memories started to flood back into his head.
This was a nightmare for him. The weapons he held and these monsters that are trying to kill him.
The monsters clawed his armor, causing sparks to cast of his armor as he crashed into a fruit stand, the young man groaning in pain.
"You need to fight, Enrique…."
He slowly turned his head to see the Hana doppelganger slowly approaching him. He weakly got up on his knees, looking down at his hands. "Why me…" He mumbled.
"Because you're the only one who can…" She told him, "If you don't, everything in this world will perish…."
She gently gestures him to his blades but upon seeing them caused his breathing to become heavy, his pupils dilating. "Enrique. You're the only one who would be able to stop the catastrophe that shall soon plague this world… And you have the power to change destiny. For if you don't fight, many lives and families will be lost."
The young man slowly stood up as he turns to the monsters that were slowly drawing near.
"If you proceed… there is no going back," she said. "Till the very end, you shall fight. You shall dye the world in your colors."
"I…" He paused, slowly becoming hesitant upon her statement. He fears violence… He fears weapons and Omnics, all because of the war that affected him greatly.
"HYAAAAHHHH!" he yelled as he threw a punch with all his might. The punch sent the closest monster flying, falling onto its fellow kin. "I-I… did that?" He said looking at his hand, realizing his boosted strength in this new form. He saw the other monsters rushing towards, causing him to focus on them before he delivered another punch to the next beast that drew near.
The monsters then retaliated as they began to surround Enrique, as they were trying to overwhelm him with their masses. Each one striking him, or even biting his limbs. He didn't want to die here… not again. He sees the same girl from earlier before he slowly glances at the blades he didn't want to wield. He was afraid… but he will not die here!
He shouts as he grabs the monster and shoves it away from him before he reaches for the blades and grabs them. Upon doing so, he swings them at the kaijins, causing more damage to them than using his fists.
He still trembled slightly as he held the swords, his fear of weapons gripping him tightly. However, his fear of death overwhelmed him and his arms stilled so he could wield the weapons. He wanted to live, and if it meant wielding weapons that he hated, so be it!
He aimlessly swings them at the monsters that tried to get near, each strike, while being new, was still proven to be fatal to the beasts as the numbers were going down. Swinging the blade dumbly at another monster, he noticed an opening under the orange blade then the katana's grip being slightly thinner, almost like they can attach. Testing it, he quickly slammed both ends together and sure enough, it formed a naginata.
Seeing the new form, he raised his head to the monsters. "I won't die here!" He rushed towards them and continued on with the fight. He once again swings the newly formed weapon at them, slicing through their hide as the monsters cried out in agony and pain upon the aimless slashes he delivers to them.
"So you've decided to fight," said the blonde as she approached Enrique. Reaching down, she unlocked the orange padlock from his belt.
LOCK OFF!
She then handed the padlock to him and pointed at his weapon. He examined it and found a space in the sword's guard that would fit the padlock.
"So...this goes here?" Enrique wondered as he put the padlock in and locked it in.
LOCK ON!
The blades of the combined weapons glowed as it counted up. He focused on his desire to live as he looked at the monsters.
1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000!
Grip tightening as he held the dual-bladed weapons in both hands, Enrique released a shout and swung.
ORANGE CHARGE!
A massive orange energy blade shot out and hit the monsters, causing the creatures to explode in flames.
Once the smoke and flames died, he saw that the blonde was now gone.
He dropped to his knees as the combined weapon slipped out of his hand. He took deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down.
It was over… it was over…
However he froze when he heard a few more of those beasts approaching. He turns his head to see four more. His body was in pain, even in the armor, he still felt tired and exhausted. The adrenaline in his body slowly vanishing, replacing it with the numb pain in his body.
Even so, he slowly stood up and chose to go once more, even if it means for his fear to consume him.
D. Va quickly looked around as she shoots down a few more of those monsters. Just as another cluster was about to attack her, a large figure landed on top of one. The large figure being a… gorilla? It pounded its chest as it roared at the other monsters before it began to smack them away.
"You alright, Hana?" The gorilla said to her, it actually talked and seemed to know her.
"Yeah, but the MEKA is already taking severe damage," She grimaced.
One of the creatures roared until a finger tapped its shoulder. It 'blinked' before looking back to see no one. It was confused as it looked around until a voice called out to the monster. "Trying to look for someone?" The female voice asked the monster.
It looked up to see a young woman in her mid or late 20s. She was wearing an orange jumpsuit, brown aviator jacket with some odd technologic armored chest piece that glowed softly. It roared until she quickly blinked and fired as many rounds as she could at it, causing it to explode into flames.
"Made you look," She giggled. "How's the situation, D. Va?"
"These things are not giving up, that's for sure," D. Va grimaced.
"We have to find that portal to make sure no more can escape," The gorilla insisted.
Tracer suddenly heard a bark, making her look at one of the boxes nearby. Curious, she approached it before lifting it up to reveal a small dog cage. She peeked inside to see a white Shiba Inu. "Aw, guess someone had to hide the poor fella." She opened the cage as she gently got hold of the pup. It whimpered, licking her before it tried to get loose from her grip, as if it wanted to chase after someone, most likely its owner.
"Looks like it's worried about its owner," Tracer said before noticing D. Va's expression of horror. "D. Va, you okay?"
"That dog… That's my friend's dog!" She realized.
"The one you brought over?" Tracer blinked, "Then he must've gotten out of his room and ran."
D. Va quickly activated the boosters as she searched for her friend. She told him to stay in the hotel room! The monsters must have gotten into the hotel and attacked him! The feeling of dread overcoming her upon the possible fate of her friend. She brought him here and he probably got hurt… or worse… It felt like it was her fault.
But as she turned one corner, the body of a creature dropped in front of her before exploding and turning into ash. Someone else was here, fighting these things…. But who?
She looked ahead and saw an orange-blue samurai fighting them but his swordsmanship was barely good as if he was new to using it.
"Get away from me!" The samurai said to the monsters but to her, she recognized the voice.
"Enrique?!" 's voice called out, distracting him for a moment.
"Hana?" He blinked under his helmet until he yelped in pain as the monster claws his back, sparks casting off his new armor.
growled as she boosted ahead, knocking the creatures into her MEKA before she ejected and sent the MEKA along with the creatures in the air.
"Nerf this!"
It began to glow and spark before it became nothing but a large explosion, destroying the rest of them with ease.
She then walked up to Enrique, confused by his new look, "What happened to you?" She asked him.
"I… I don't know…" He admitted. "It all happened suddenly… I remember seeing that girl, telling me about my destiny… 'dying the world in my colors'." He saw the weapon in his hand and quickly dropped it due to his fear. He was truly afraid of weapons; it brought too many reminders of what happened in the past.
"H-Hey! Are you alright?" She asked, worried as she placed her hands on him.
"No more, no more…" He shook his head, grasping his helmet.
Hana frowned as she simply hugged him gently, "It'll be okay…. I'm here for you, my friend.."
He then realized something. "Where's Aki!?" He frantically looked around.
"He's right here, luv!" Nearby Tracer walked out with Winston, as she gently sat the dog down as it rushed over and began to lick his helmet.
"Thank goodness, you're okay," he hugged the pup softly. He looked at the woman and… a gorilla? Taking notice of the weapon in the aviator's hand, he was frightened.
"W-Who are you?"
Hana took notice before she gestured Tracer to put away her pistol in which she complied. Seeing the weapon gone, the Gamer looks at her friend, trying to keep him calm.
"It's okay, they are my teammates. The one who saved your dog is Tracer, and that's Winston." Hana introduced them.
"Make sure you don't put your animal in any more danger, alright?" Winston said, fixing his glasses.
"Y-You… You can talk…" He got out.
"At least he didn't say what I am." Winston sighed before adjusting his glasses upon noticing the armor the young man was in. He examined him from all directions in interest.
"Winston, mind easing up on the science? I'm sure he's exhausted and needs some rest for now." Tracer informed him, gripping his ear and pulling him back.
"Sorry, Tracer," He apologized before Tracer.
"Just… what were those things…?" The young Samurai asked. "W-What is going on? Can someone please tell me?"
"We wish we knew…." Hana frowned, "All we know is that they're invading our world and we have only found a way to stop the Cracks from staying any longer here."
"Invading…?" He blinked under his helmet.
"We will explain later," Tracer answered, blinking as she appeared next to him. "We should get you to a safe place."
The young man slowly nodded before he looked at the belt around his waist. He was trying to find out how to get it off until he remembered that lock made the armor appear. Testing that theory, he closed it and just like that, the armor vanished into motes of light.
"I'll get you back to the suite…" Hana said, helping him up as she leads him back to the hotel room.
Enrique was nervous since he was staring at the three people in the room. One of them being Hana while the other two, who he learned to be Tracer and Winston. He assumed the gorilla has a normal name but for the aviator girl, it sounded like some code name. In his arms was the pup that he gently pets, trying to calm him and himself down. He was still trying to forget what happened, including himself using that 'gun' katana and scimitar to fight.
From afar, Hana and her two comrades were doing their best to keep their voices down so he doesn't hear them, "What? No! I don't want him to be a part of this!" Hana shook her head at them. "It is my fault he was dragged into this, you guys!"
"We understand. But you saw that he did and it actually did much more work than we ever could." Tracer pointed out., "I would also rather have him be here than in the fields too, but you saw that belt. It only works for him."
"Lena, look at him!" She gestured to the young man. "I saw how he was with that weapon. It was like he was really afraid of it. He was even creeped out when you had your guns."
"From what I was able to look up, it's because he lost his family during the last events of the Omnic Crisis…." Winston informed them. "So the reason being, he is suffering PTSD."
"What? Why did you have to investigate him!?" Hana questioned, upset to learn they looked up his background information.
"I didn't want to ask him, or intrude on his past. So I looked it up without doing my best to inform him." Winston responded, "I know what it's like to lose someone, and I didn't want to pry that door open."
Hana grimaced upon the scientist's response. "Is this really necessary, you two? I mean… he looks scared for someone my age…"
"Hana…. I know how you feel. But, due to that armor, he's now involved in this mess." Tracer said to her, "You saw those creatures, they were chasing after him when we got there. Whatever he has, it's attracting them and it'll only get worse if he doesn't train for it."
"Can he really be able to? He isn't someone who would willingly hold a weapon."
"We know that… But if we don't help him train and overcome it, we may never be able to stop this invasion…" Tracer said to Hana. "Besides I'm sure with Angela's help, he will recover in no time."
Hana bit her lip, considering the options. Either leave him and allow those monsters to chase him or help him recover from his fear of weapons and mold him into a warrior. It was a tough choice to make but she was worried about her friend. A friend who doesn't see her as who she is but someone who saw her as simply Hana, despite how surprised he was when he discovered his gamer friend being her.
"A-Alright…." She frowned, "I'm… just worried he'll leave after this…."
"I'm sure it will be alright," Tracer assured her young friend.
"Alright…" She nodded before approaching her gamer friend. "Hey, Enrique. How are you feeling?"
"I'm… I'm okay…" He nodded, gently hugging Aki. "Just… a little shaken is all…"
Hana lowered her head, "I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess…" She apologized. "I shouldn't have pushed you into coming here…"
"It's… not your fault, Hana," he shook his head. "You didn't know…"
"But…. I… have something to tell you…." She said, looking away with shame.
He lifted his head, confused. "What is it you want to tell me…?"
"Um…. well… due to that belt and armor you have… We found out, only you can use it…" She said, "And… due to that, and its advantage it has… we… need for you to help Overwatch…."
"Over… watch…?" He repeated until his eyes lit up. "Aren't they the heroes who fought in the Omnic Crisis!?"
She nods, "And… got disbanded a long time ago too…."
This surprised him. He never knew Overwatch disbanded after the war, this was a shocking piece of information to hear. "Then… why me…?"
"Since those things seemed to have a weakness to that armor you used…" She explained. "But there was something that attracted them to you, Enrique. Like bees to a flower, they might go after you..."
"I… I don't know if I can do this, Hana…"
"I… know… One reason why we're offering to help you….. And train you.." She admitted.
"T-Train me? But… I… I don't want to fight again…"
"Enrique... I know this is hard. But…." She made him look at her, "If we don't help you get better, you'll be targeted until those creatures get you… And I don't want to see that happen, nor have you get hurt."
The black-haired teen looked down at his pet dog before looking at Hana, Tracer, and Winston. "I…" He recalled the Hana doppelganger's words. "I want to live… so… I… I want to help..." He decided.
Hana looked up at him, surprised, "You do?"
"I want to live… and I don't want more people to die…" He nodded. "I don't know if I can be helpful but I want to at least try and help you, Hana."
"So… you… don't hate me for asking this of you?" She asked him.
"You're my friend, Hana…" He looked at her. "It wasn't your fault either…"
Hana smiled softly, hugging him gently as she sighed, "Alright… I'll tell them. Though… due to this, we will have to cancel our trip to the convention next week…."
He nodded in understanding before Hana walked up to her fellow comrades.
"Well?" Tracer asked.
"He wants to help us," Hana answered.
"I'm glad to see him taking the commitment." Winston smiled, "We'll wait to head back to base tomorrow. You two should rest up for now."
She nodded before Winston and Tracer went to another room that Hana allowed the two to use. She sighed before glancing at the young man who was staring at the buckle. She couldn't blame him for how he feels. Knowing that everything was suddenly over plus new to fighting and still shaken upon the use of weapons, one being something he was afraid of using.
"Say… Enrique?" Hana called out to him.
He glanced at Hana, "Yeah?"
She smiled softly to him. "I thought you looked pretty cool in that armor…." She said before walking off to her room, letting him relax for the night.
He looked at the buckle and the Lock that came with it. He was still wondering why of all people that this 'destiny' chose him to be this 'samurai'. He looked at his lap to see Aki asleep as he gently pets him before placing him in the cage and went to the bed. He rested his head against the pillow and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Smoke… fire… the loud echoes of gunshots heard everywhere. A young Enrique and a little girl hiding in a small shed as gunshots and explosions were heard from a distance. Their clothing was covered in soot and tears, showing they have been running for god knows how long. Even some dried blood staining either their clothes or partially their skin.
The shed shook partially as dust fell as the two hugged each other tightly, clearly afraid of what was happening.
"E-Enrique, I'm scared..." The little girl whimpered, worried and panting. He was quiet, too traumatized to what was happening as he could only comfort his little sister.
"I'm scared too…"
Several more shots occurred as the rubble nearby crumbled away to reveal several large robots. Each one with a red iris as they turned to see the two siblings. They then turned as their guns began to build up with energy, ready to shoot them.
The young boy's eyes widen in fear as he quickly grabs the girl and tries to carry her away. He yelped upon the pain since they were running for a while. The machines fired at the two as the siblings ran for their lives. It was a nightmare as he held onto his little sister tightly. The next few shots sent the boy and girl rolling down on the ground with a thud, separating them.
He struggled to get up until he saw from the top was the machines that aimed their guns at the two. However, something caused them to divert their attention to whatever is behind them, causing them to move away as they heard more gunshots.
He quickly saw his little sister, the girl struggling to breathe. "N-No…" He weakly rushed over to her, seeing the bottom part of her shirt covered in blood. She was whimpering as the young Enrique felt tears burn in his eyes. "Please, stay with me, Marie!" He pleaded, trying to stop the bleeding from continuing.
"E-En...rique…."
"Please hang in there!" He cried.
He could hear her breathing hitch ever so often as he held her in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding. She continued to breathe until he saw she lost all feeling in her body, making his eyes widen in horror. "M-Marie… please wake up!" He pleaded. But she didn't respond as her body began to get colder.
"Please don't leave me…" He cried as he held her.
He lost his family…
He lost everything...
He slowly felt dizzy before he noticed he too had a gunshot wound, his mind slowly getting hazy as he fell back, holding his sister's body as a lifeline. His life was draining ever so slowly.
Was this what it felt like…? Dying…?
The Omnics began to approach the wounded boy, getting closer until several blasts hit the robots, sending them away as several people came rushing in, taking on the Omnics, except for one. One looked to be that of an angel as she floated down to the boy.
"Are you alright?" She called out to him.
His mind was getting dark but he could feel his body being picked up ever so gently, like a mother would do to her own child and being moved away from the girl's corpse. He slowly lost consciousness as the last thing he could see was his little sister's body.
His eyes shot up as he quickly sat up on the bed, his breathing being rapid and his heart beating quickly from the horrible memory. He quickly looked around before placing his hand on his chest, remembering that day where he was hurt. He was alive… but his family… they were gone…
Ever since that day, he suffered from a fear of Omnics and weapons. Just the mere touch of the weapon causes him to have a panic attack, the suffering from his PTSD.
And while he didn't want to touch one, knowing about the training had him worried…. But… knowing that Hana would be there, and he would be doing something good for others… Did put his mind at ease a bit. He looked over to see the sun rising, showing that a new day has started.
He slowly moved the blanket aside and got up from the bed, looking at the sunrise. He still wondered just who saved him? The only thing he was able to remember was that she looked like an angel.
"Oh! Good morning, luv!" He turned his head to see Tracer who had a kind smile.
"H-Hello," He waved.
"We'll head out once the others are up. In the meantime, breakfast?" She offered by booping his nose.
His stomach growled upon the mention of breakfast, making him blush in embarrassment. "Breakfast sounds good," He nodded. She smiled before she disappeared in an actual 'Blink' of an eye, surprising the young man. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was seeing things before looking where she 'vanished.'
And in a second, 'Blinked' back with a plate of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. "Here ya go, luv!" she beamed.
He slowly reached for the plate before he got hold of it then he began to eat. He stares at Tracer nervously for a moment before he swallowed his food. "S-So… they call you 'Tracer'...?"
"Mhm, that's my code name." She smiled, "But if you like, you can call me Lena Oxton if you prefer?"
"Lena… Oxton…?" He repeated.
"Correct," She giggled. "It sounds like you are not that used to meeting new people…?"
He looked away. "I… I never left my hometown for a long time…"
"Hmm, well with us, you'll be able to view the whole world now!" she beamed.
He looked at Lena upon her words, her smile showed she was energetic for someone her age, almost like a little kid. "I… I just hope I can be helpful…" He muttered softly.
"Luv… You will be." Lena said, patting his shoulder, "You're gonna be trained by us, and we'll make you stronger than ever."
Raising his head to look at her, seeing her bright smile before he lowered his head once more and nodded in understanding.
After a little while, the other two were wide awake as they ate their respective meals before they helped Enrique with some of his belongings, with the latter carrying the cage in his arms. "You sure like that pup, don't ya luv?" Lena giggled.
"He is… my only source of company…" He admitted. "He has been with me for a while now… the doctors thought it would be best if I had a pet to keep me calm so… I bought Aki."
"Aki?" Winston repeated in confusion.
"Since he is a dog of Japanese origin, I thought it would fit… plus Aki… means Second Hope…" He explained softly as he heard the said pup bark from its cage
"That's a nice name for a dog." Hana said.
He smiled softly as he glances at Aki. "Yeah…" He nodded before he looked at the three. "So… where exactly are we going…?"
"Watchpoint: Gibraltar," Winston informed.
"Giber… what?" He tried to pronounce.
"That's the name of our base," Lena smiled.
"Oh…" He responded. "How do we get there…?"
"By airship of course," Lena said proudly, presenting a clearing but… there was nothing to see.
"Um… what am I supposed to be looking at?" Enrique asked, looking at the clearing.
"That's because it's cloaked, luv." Lena giggled.
"Eh?" Before he knew it, the airship appeared right in front of him, causing him to jump a bit upon the sight.
"Big, isn't it?" Hana giggled. He nodded dumbly. "Come on, I'm sure you will enjoy it." She gestured the young man to enter the airship as he was in awe of the aircraft.
"Tracer, Winston, thank goodness you two are alright. I thought you might have been hurt during that attack yesterday," A voice said in a Swiss accent but to the young man it was familiar. They saw a very beautiful woman with blonde hair, wearing a white outfit with a halo and wings. It was like she was an angel.
"We are alright, Angela," Winston assured. "And the good news is that we found something that can help us fight off those monsters."
"What is it you found?"
They gestured to the young man who saw the woman. Suddenly, Enrique had flashbacks to that day, remembering the person who saved him. His body froze completely as he stares at the woman.
"Enrique, you alright?" Hana asked.
The response was silence but Angela simply smiled as she walked over to him, "My, look how much you've grown since we've last met…." She said softly to him.
"You met him before, Angela?" Lena asked, surprised upon the information.
She nodded sadly, gently placing her hand on his chest. "He was only a child… and I saw how much he went through. He was suffering from a gunshot wound that would have killed him… but…" She saw how Enrique was in the past. She couldn't forget who he held close to him, seeing a lifeless girl's body as the boy cried his heart out. She was able to save him but the other… "I couldn't save the other…"
"So it was you…" He remembered. "The angel…"
"It's nice to meet you again." She smiled at him.
He nodded slowly but Angela could tell that the young man was still suffering. She had seen innocent people suffer after the war, children more so than adults. Some wounds never healed, only haunt a person to their dying days. She walked over to her comrades, "So he has the way to fight those monsters?"
"From what we witnessed yesterday yes but he seems to be new to this… and clearly not willing to use any sort of weapon," Winston explained to his friend as Hana and Lena helped out the young man get acquainted in the airship. Once situated, the aviator and MEKA pilot approached Winston and Mercy.
"What do you mean?"
"When he noticed Tracer's weapons, he was shakened even that strange gun/sword he had on his person."
"He must have developed that fear during the Omnic Crisis…" Angela realized.
"We were wondering if you can help him?"
"I shall try my best." She nodded before the two older members watched the young man and the pup in his arms. "He's grown so much…"
"Mercy, it was difficult, wasn't it?" Winston noticed.
The blonde was quiet for a moment before she said, "During the days when Overwatch began, I would usually see to the injured and those who died but… to see a dying child holding their dead sibling close like their life depended on it… it was heartbreaking..."
Hana and the others looked at their medic, surprised and utterly shocked from hearing that as they turned back to Enrique, to see how far he has truly lost, and grown from it.
The young man glanced at the members of Overwatch, wondering what they were talking about before he looked down at Aki who barked. He smiled softly and lifted him up a bit. "I'm glad you are okay, Aki." He responded. "I just… I just don't want to lose someone else close to me…" It barked as he nuzzled his owner's arms, trying to get him get over the gloomy mood he was currently in. "Okay, okay. Thanks, Aki."
[We are arriving at Watchpoint: Gibraltar]
He jumped upon hearing the voice as Aki landed on his lap. "Who said that?" He asked.
"Sorry, I think I should have mentioned about Athena."
"Athena…?" He blinked.
"She is an AI that I created," Winston explained as they felt the airship land, the ramp lowering itself to reveal the base.
Seeing it was truly amazing for him. Even the view of the ocean made it more magnificent to see!
"Come on, I'll show you around." Hana offered, as she took his arm then led him around the base.
"This place is amazing…" He commented, looking at his surroundings.
"It may be on an island out here… But it's still home to us." Hana smiled softly. "And… yours too…. If you want?"
"You mean… I'm living here now…?" He got out, surprised upon the information.
"Only….. If you want to?" She said, "I… know we can't replace your family.. But I also don't want you hurt out there, Enrique."
The raven-haired teen looked at the ground for a moment before looking at Hana. "I… want to help you guys…" He said. "I know it's not your fault, Hana. You never expected this to happened… but I remember someone telling me about where my destiny lies… and I choose to live. My fate… is to live more."
Hana smiled at him, "I like that answer. Come on, I'm sure you'll enjoy the place."
"Alright," He answered before Hana was giving him a tour of the place. Everything was so awesome to him. While there were some of those drones, they weren't Omnics which gave him some relief. Overall, he was, for once, enjoying a change of scenery after so long.
"And here's your room!" Hana said, opening the door to reveal a room, almost similar to the suite, but less shiny and expensive. Complete with a living room, and two rooms parallel from the sides of the compartment.
He slowly entered the new room, looking at the surroundings before setting down the cage and allowed Aki to move around, barking happily. "Wow... I… I don't know what to say, Hana…" He got out.
"Just remember that we're here to help. If you need to talk, I'm actually right across from you." she smiled, "Also, Angela has requested you to see her every day for therapy. Just to help you finally move on with… well…"
"They knew...?" He asked hesitantly.
"Angela… told us the story.." She said softly, turning her head, not wanting to cut any more wounds.
Enrique remained quiet for a moment before he sat down on the bed. "There are others who suffered during that Crisis… mine is simply that… suffering what I lost…" He muttered lowly, his pet Shiba Inu comforting him.
"Enrique….." Hana said softly, walking up to him before she hugged him, not saying a word.
"It's nothing, Hana…" He responded. "I'm just like the others who suffered during the Crisis…"
"I know…. I…. just think you needed this…" She responded.
The raven-haired teen looked at her for a moment before he looked away slightly. "Hey, Hana…?"
"Hm? Yes, Enrique?" She looked at him, letting go after the hug as she hears him out.
"How did you become part of Overwatch…?" He asked. "I mean… you're the same age as me."
"Heh, well… Truth be told. They came to me, asking for my help." She admitted, "You see…. about two years ago, before I started becoming this big of a star. I was.. Well to be fair... Bored of everything. Games were starting to become nothing more than that to me."
"And that was where you got the mecha?" He guessed.
"The MEKA was given to me when I was 16, so about 3 years ago since the government chose some of us professional gamers as candidates." She giggled softly, "And, back then, being the best was all I cared about. And when I started doing the MEKA assignments, things were changing. But for me? I… was starting to drift away from what I liked." She admitted, "But when Tracer and Winston found me, they gave me a new perspective to this world. And one I don't regret choosing." She smiled as she turned to him, "When I joined them, I realized what life truly brought and since then, I devoted my life to not only protect the people, but also try to bring enjoyment and smiles to everyone else. So, thanks to them, I'm now this star."
"Even during your career?"
"Yep."
He began to dwell into his thoughts, thinking if he made the right choice but meeting Hana, Lena, Winston, even Angela who saved him when he was a child… he realizes that being with them, he might be able to live on.
But he was still confused to what happened yesterday. Who was that young woman? Why does she look like Hana? And what is this destiny that chose him…? More importantly, what is this Helheim that the woman mentioned?
The remnants of the battle was shown, the ashes of the beasts and the bizarre plants from the wall were incinerated. News began to spread about the incident. How Tracer, Winston, and the global icon D. Va defeated some of the beasts. Even the sight of an azure samurai fighting them off.
Just as the silence was kept, the sound of footsteps broke the silence. Each step echoed in the streets of the area that was evacuated.
As the footsteps grew louder, it revealed a man wearing robes that didn't feel like they belong in this world. It covered the man's body from head to toe, asides from his hands and where his eyes laid. He looked upon the bodies with a soft smirk.
"Seems he got my gift. Now what will you do with it, boy? And can you stop for what's to come?" The man said outloud to himself. "Guess fate is choosing you after all."
LOCKSEEDS:
L.S. 07, Class A Lockseed: Also known as Orange Lockseed. Use of the Lockseed allows the user of the Sengoku Driver to transform into Orange Arms, equipped with the Daidaimaru. However, due to his fear of weapons, Enrique is unable to use the Orange Arms' full potential. While he is able to fight the mindless monsters with ease, he can find himself put at a disadvantage against stronger, more skilled and more experienced combatants.
