TEAM FORTRESS 2 X OVERWATCH

Into the Future

Chapter 1: The experiment

It was day 188 at 2Fort and RED and BLU were trying to capture their intelligence. Everything was going as usual at 2Fort. Hoovies were everywhere, Snipers camping on the second floor, conga spammers galore, Engies turtleling in the intelligence room, and Scout killing any friend he sees. However while in the RED intelligence room the RED Engineer was relaxing and then RED Scout came in acting unusual.

RED Engineer: I know yer a spah so make my like easy and don't touch anything.

Ignoring his request the BLU spy starts putting a Red Tape Recorder on in his buildings which made Engie to get up and bash the Spy with his wrench.

Engineer: Told ya not to touch that dummy!

Then when he was removing the RTR sapper he came with a crazy idea. The Engineer's teammate Scout finally capped the third flag to end the seemingly infinite stalemate. Hours later the RED team were all celebrity except for the Engineer who was locked in his quarters. He called over his Spy to his work room

Engineer: Hey Spah, think you could come over 'ere?

So the Spy entered his work room

Spy: What is it my mechanically inclined compatriot?

Engineer: Ya know that sapper that is a big ole tap recorder?

Spy: The Red Tape Recorder?

Engineer: Ya that one think I could borrow one?

Spy: If I may ask why? Wouldn't you want to avoid destroying your buildings?

Engineer: Yeah that is true but I think I can reverse engineer it to do the opposite with my teleporter. Maybe even more

Spy: I don't know what is going through your mind but very well. Gives Engie RTR Like I use this thing any more

Later in the night the other mercenaries where still partying about their success but then they notice Engie hasn't come out.

Heavy: Does anyone know where our little friend Engineer is?

Scout: Who cares? That egghead couldn't throw a good party no matter how much crap he builds.

Soldier: He is still one of our teammates and if my time in the army taught me anything we must always know what our troops are up to

Scout: You were nevah in the army dumba**

Soldier: Tell that to my Medal of Honor

Scout: You gave yourself that idiot

Spy: Well if you must know he must still be in his quarters working on his new pet project

Medic: New projects? Well you have peeked my interest

Demo: Same here lad

Soldier: As am I

Heavy: We should ask Engineer what experiment is

Scout: Come on you idiots can't be serious? That egghead will probably blow a hole in the base again

Medic: True but it is still quite interesting to see what he is doing. Not even you Scout for as small as your brain is can't say you aren't the slightest bit interested

Scout: Eh I guess I am a littl- HEY

Spy: It is settled we'll investigate what Engineer is up to

Demoman: Yeah and if worse comes to worse me an' Soldier will blow him up

Soldier: I like the sound of that

The RED team enter the Engineer's room and notice a large teleporter with a bunch of RTR sappers on it. Engineer takes note his friends have entered

Engineer: Howdy everyone! Guess you want to know what this oversized teleporter is?

Demoman: Yeah mate. What the bloody hell did you throw together?

Engineer: It is a time machine

Soldier: Time machine?

Sniper: What like actually bring us to the past time machine?

Engineer: Or the future. With this time machine we'll always have the advantage over BLU. Think of it if we lose because Medic was back stabbed by a spah before he could activate his Uber in a choke point or if a enemy Demo destroys my sentry at a control point we use this little doggy and we'll know what to avoid.

Pyro: Mmph mp mh

Engineer: Have I tested it yet? No but likely I put the finishing touches so it is ready to start up

Pyro: MMPHHM * claps very happily *

Sniper: I dunno about you fellas but I think this may be a really bad idea

Engineer: Ya got nothin' to worry about Sniper

Medic: Just vhen I thought you couldn't surprise me any more my hard hatted friend.

Engineer: All we need now is a volunteer. Who votes for me to be the test?

*Only Scout raises his hand *

Engineer: Alright Heavy?

*Only Scout again *

Engineer: Pyro?

*Scout once again *

Engineer: How 'bout Scout?

*Everyone but Scout *

Engineer: Well it's settled. Congrates Scout yer the first time traveler

Soldier: And once again democracy proves to be the greatest thing in American history

Scout: Come on guys really?

Engineer: Ya got nothing to worry 'bout Scout. If ya die you'll just respawn

Scout: No way in hell I'm being your ginniepig

Engineer: Alright Scout. I understand if yer too yellar belly to do it

Everyone goes owww

Scout: Ah ha I know what ya doing hard hat and it ain't gonna work

Heavy: of course Heavy knew you were always not only tiny baby man but tiny baby chicken

Pyro: Mmph mm mp

Demoman: I always thought you had a small pair but I didn't think they'd be that small

Soldier: Hahaha you're a chicken

Medic: After your last prognosis I did find that you were both literally and metaphorically fowl inside

Sniper: And you mock me for bein' a coward? How about you man up and get on

Scout humilated by their torment finally gives in

Scout: Fine I'll get on but when I see the future I'm not given any of you nothing

The Scout hops on the teleporter. Engineer smiles menacingly as he hooks up the machine and it starts spinning. Engie proceeds to laugh mad doctor style and push an oversized red button on a remote. Sparks fly everywhere and the machine starts to spin faster. Scout starts sweating a lot to the point the collar of his shirt was soaking. But suddenly the device comes to a screeching halt and deactivates. Scout screams thinking something bad happened before opening his eyes to see nothing happened

Scout: What the hell egghead?! Why am I still here? Was this some elaborate prank to make an a** out of me?!

Engineer: Trust me Scout you do that every day and I'm just a baffled as you

Sniper: Well now that that's over maybe we can go to sleep and get ready for more pointless battles tomorro-

Suddenly the machine reactivates and starts to shake. It starts to rip a wormhole open pulling each mercenary into a black abyss. As they fall inevitably the pass strange blurry vision that are hard for them to make out. Eventually they all black out before reawkaening all divided and in unrecognizable locations. Engineer wakes up next to Scout and Spy to a bizarre, high tech city. Hover cars were everywhere, holographic street lighten spread around the roads, and shiny silver robots strolling with humans who wore unusal clothing to the mercs. The closest thing they've seen to anything like this was Australia but even then looked radically different

Scout: Hard hat where are we?

Engineer: Not sure. Spy you've been around the world seen anything like this?

Spy: I have been to 174 countries, 3829 cities, countless villages and towns, and every known continent above the ocean but I have never seen anything like this.

Engineer goes over to a few civilians

Engineer: Hey you two. What is this place

Civilian: It's London mate

The 3 mercs looked confused. London never looked this high tech. They had an idea but thought it couldn't possibly be true

Engineer: What year is this

Civilian: What year? It's 2084

Engineer: 2084? Heh heh ha ha TWENTY EIGHTY FOUR HAHAHA WE'RE IN THE FUTURE!

Scout and Spy try to calm Engie down before he makes a scene

Scout: Dude what the hell? You can't yell that out

Engineer: Sorry Scout just got a little giddy that my machine worked. I built a time machine. Science fiction will now be science facts. Everyone will know that Dell Conager has invented a machine that can change to course of history or predict it

Spy: Yes that is very good for you but how are we suppose to get back to 1968?

There was an awkward pause. Engineer's smile slowly disappeared and making a worried look.

Spy: You do have a way for us to return home right?

Engineer didn't say a world

Spy: Right Engineer?

Engineer: Hm he ya know building a time machine is hard and long and well sometimes you forget little feature...

Scout: Forget certain features? What feature did you forget for this?

Engineer: Well I may have forgotten to add a return to base button

The two mercs look both worried and angry at their genius friend. Scout started to make a scowl at the builder

Engineer: Hey Scout ya alright?

Scout jumps at Engineer trying to strangle him. Spy tries holding him back from killing Engie

Scout: YOU STUPID MORON! YOU WERE GONNA SEND ME TO THE FUTURE AND NOT BRING ME BACK? NOW WE'RE STUCK A HUNDRED AND SOMETHING YEARS IN THE FUTURE WITH NO WAY BACK? I'LL BEAT YOU WITH THAT DAMN WRENTCH THEN SHOVE THAT UP YOUR-

Spy: SCOUT! Calm yourself now! You believe harming Engineer will do us any good?

Scout: He's the reason we're stuck here

Spy: Trust me Jeremy I want to back stab him right now but if we kill him then to put it in terms you'll understand we will be screwed. He's our only way to get back to our time so we need him alive unless you think you can build a time machine

Scout calms down and understands what Spy means.

Scout: Alright I'll kill ya later hard hat. Until then what now?

Engineer: Well I dunno. First I'd say we regroup with the others where ever the hell they're at. Then find a high tech base so I can work on a new machine. It should be easier with all this futuristic technology. After all if I made on back in 1968 surely I'd be able to make something in 2084. But we still have a ways to go

The three mercs walk down the streets observing the people and robots here. They were desperate and hope they could cobble up something and find their other teammates

Meanwhile At Watchpoint Giberalter

Winston was observing the monitor when he sees that there are 3 different energy levels on several different areas in the world. One in London, one in Russia, and one in Australia. Winston summoned Tracer, Symmetra, Lucio Mei, Mercy, Zarya, Pharah, Zenyatta and Soldier 76

Winston: I'm happy you all made it here on such short notice

Tracer: It was nothing Winston. I'm always happy to see you love

Winston: Thank you Lena. Anyway there have been 3 energy surges across the globe, not to dissimilar to what happened to you Lena, and I will dispatch a team of 3 each to investigate each location. Tracer, Symmetra, Lucio, you'll dispatch in London

Tracer: Yes getting to visit home

Lucio: Do I really need to be paired with her? * points to Sym *

Symmetra: Look boy I'm not happy about this arrangement however it is necessary for the greater good. Tracer can defend us if we get into a confrontation not to mention being familiar with the area, my scientific knowledge can deduce what happened, and your music while tasteless can help heal us if we are injured.

Lucio: Whatever I'm still not happy about this

Winston: Squad 2 will be Zarya, Mei, and Mercy who will be going to Russia

Zarya: Ah it is good idea that I look into invaders in my home country. I bet it is another omnix terrorist attack * glares at Zenyatta *

Mei: I'm just glad we get a girl's night! And in the snow my type of weather

Mercy: Well more like a week but I do look forward to working with you two.

Winston: And finally Squad 3: Pharah, Soldier 76, and Zenyatta will go to Australia. Now Zenyatta as we know Australis isn't exactly opened to 'your kind' so if you wish to not go I will comply.

Zenyatta: Do not threat my primate friend my mind is like a steal fortress. No matter how much damage it take it will never fall to petty attacks

Pharah: Ug Australia. That place with those lawless destruction loving freaks

Soldier 76: Remember Pharah soldiers must do missions that may not be desirable.

Pharah: I understand but still those Australia disgust me especially those two.

Winston: It is settled. A helicopter will pick each of you up at about 0900 hours. I wish you all the best of luck

Meanwhile at Talon undisclosed base

Sombra was looking though the computer when Widowmaker and Reaper go up to her

Reaper: So Sombra what updates do you have?

Sombra: Un minuto. * Closes files on Volskia Industries and opens WNN about energy surges * I was browsing through the news and saw that apparently there's 3 major energy surges across the world. I think we should investigate especially before Overwatch gets started

Windowmaker: Why should this concern Talon?

Sombra: Because mi amiga we could find unknown power that could aid us against Overwatch

Reaper: Very well. Name the locations

Sombra: Locations are at London, Russia, and Australia at these coordinates

Reaper: Very well Widow will go to Australia, me to Russia, and-

Sombra: Espere Reaper. I think I should go to Russia

Reaper: After letting Katya Volskia get away? I don't think so

Sombra: Come on we all make mistakes. If I recall you and Widowmaker couldn't recover the Doomfist gauntlet from that British girl and the monkey. Plus I got some friends there

Reaper: Very well but this time don't screw up

Sombra: Crystal clear jefe

The three Talon agents get in a stealth helicopter and head off to investigate
