Hello dear reader, welcome to this little story of mine.
I already have an idea of what I want this story to be but any suggestions in your reviews will be welcome.
Just one more thing, look out for references and easter eggs from Overwatch and other franchises in every chapter, some will be obvious others will be hidden.
Enjoy
Prologue: Return of the Machine
Cairo, 2076
"EVERYONE TAKE COVER!" Pharah screamed with all her migth as she saw the missiles being launched. They needed to take out that turret as soon as posible or the battle would be lost.
Even with the support of Winston, Mercy, Genji and a squad of Overwatch forces, Pharah and her soldiers had no success in defending Cairo and the temple of Anubis from Talon. It was unclear why they wanted to take that area, but in the heat of battle that didn't mattered.
Whatever it was sure had some importance, as not only a battalion of Talon soldiers occupied the zone but also a deadly turret, three tanks and the assasin Widowmaker were in the battlefield.
As the turret kept firing Pharah and Genji took cover behind a vehicle.
"We need to take out their turret, any ideas?" asked Genji
"I have one: If you manage to get Widowmaker's attention I can send my barrage of rockets from above without being shot in the head" Pharah suggested
"If you and your soldiers covered your entire head we wouldn't have that problem, but of course: you have to leave your mouth exposed don't you?" said Genji
"Genji, do you copy?" said Winston trough their comunicators, "Our reinforces are trying to get in the city but if we don't make a clear path for them they won't be able to join the battle, get rid of that turret and we'll do the rest"
Genji started thinking for a moment, then he looked at Pharah. "Fine, we'll follow your plan. Hopefully I'll be fast enough to reflect their bullets and outrun the missiles"
"Good luck then" said Pharah as Genji nooded and ran to the left flank
On the distance Widowmaker was sniping on top of a building, shooting anyone who got in her sigths. But as she was aiming she heard a familiar sound, the sound of air being cuted, the sound of an incredibly fast object appearing, the sound of Tracer's blinks. She wasn't informed of her presence, but after so many encounters Widowmaker would recognize that sound anywere (much to her dismay).
"You don't have the element of suprise anymore cheríe" Widowmaker said, but as she turned around she was indeed suprised of what she saw: she expected Tracer jumping around and yelling one of her anoying-as-all-hell catchphrases, but she was nowere to be seen. Instead Widowmaker found herself with some sort of military jet falling in her direction. She reacted fast enough to use her grapling hook and move out of the way as the jet continued it's course.
Talon's soldiers were pushing Phara's and Overwatch's forces with easse, when suddenly they heard a jet engine closing in. The jet crashed into the battlefield breaking chaos in Talon's battalion and damaging one of their tanks.
"What the hell happened!?" said Genji startled.
"It doesn't matter" said Pharah, "They are distracted! Everyone, FIRE AT THE TURRET NOW!"
The squad concentrated it's fire to the turret and they finally took it down, then the battle turned entirely. Now Winston could lead Overwatch's reinforces into the zone and they were taking over the battlefield as Mercy quickly healed injured soldiers.
"RETREAT, RETREAT! EVERYONE FALL BACK!" screamed the Talon soldiers trough the comunicators, "THAT JET HAS THE OVERWATCH INSIGNIA, THEY ARE SENDING AEREAL SUPPORT! FALL BACK!"
Widowmaker wasn't sure if the decission of retreating was the rigth one, but if Overwatch had a jet that could apparently appear out of nowhere then it would be only a matter of time before more artillery was sent, artillery that Talon has never fought before. Widowmaker and the rest of the soldiers had no choice, they left the area in their scape jets. In a matter of hours all the terrorists scaped and the ones who didn't were taken as prisioners; Helix and Overwatch won the battle.
"I must admit I was quite esceptic about accepting your help, but without you the outcome of this battle would have been quite different" said Pharah to Genji. After the battlefield was cleared Winston and Mercy reunited with Pharah and Genji.
"Thank you, is an honor for me to call you my allies and friends" said Pharah to the agents
"We vere more zan happy to help vith such a noble cause, if you ever need us you can call again any time" said Mercy with a smirk
"Your abilities in the battlefield were impressive Fareeha" said Winston, "Perhaps you migth consider joining us, as a friend of mine says: 'the world could always use more heroes' "
"Thanks but my responsabilities are here in my home, although I was thinking about coming to your headquarters and pay you a visit for a few days. I really need to learn about your techniques in battle, sending an unpiloted jet to break panic into the enemy's rank? That's something I could learn from" said Pharah
"And we vould love to theach you about… vait, vhat?". The look of confusion in Mercy's face told Pharah that something was wrong.
"Well… yes. An unpiloted jet crashed in the middle of Talon's battalion, I assumed that you send it since it has the Overwatch insignia on it's wings"
Genji, Winston and Mercy exchanged looks of confusion (although Genji couldn't express anything really).
"Can you show us were it crashed?" asked Winston
"Sure, follow me" said Pharah lifting from the ground
"I have a bad feeling about this" said Genji as they followed Pharah
After some minutes Pharah got to the crashed jet. It had a white coloration and a yellow stripe rigth ahead of the cockpit, it also had three engines and the overwatch insignia on both wings.
"Zis ship looks familiar to me, but I can't remember vere I saw it. Does it rings any bells to you Winston?... Winston?" Mercy asked, but Winston was in a state of shock as he inspected inside the cockpit.
"Fareeha… you… you said you… wanted to vist our… headquarters?" Winston asked with a really worried look on his face.
"Yes, of course…"
"Good… because we are going to need a witness…"
Winston then turned to Mercy and Genji, he opened the cockpit for them to see what was inside: rigth ahead of the controls there was a holographic blue Accelerator.
"It's the Slipstream…"
And there you have it, hopefully you'll like it
I'm doing this because I want to perfect my writting skills using your reviews, because I need a hobby other than playing Tf2 or WoW and because, why not?
Next chapter will be uploaded soon so…
See you around
