Hi Readers! So this is a prequel to a story that I may or may not work on, I don't know yet. The story is that my OC teams up with Junkrat and Roadhog, trying to survive in Junkertown. The reason I picked the two junkers is because I find them funny, and they stand out from the other heros. To me anyway. I'm curious to know more about them and after getting the Junkertown map I was super excited!
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
The world is cruel, unfair. Why must bad things happen to good people? What did we do to deserve this? Why must I lose everything, and everyone I love?! I will always hate them. They have no heart, no brain, they can't even bleed! They are nothing but weapons that are out to kill, that's what they did. For thirty years the world was at war, humans vs machine. Thousands of people died, most were just bystanders, they were inanest. I lived in fear my hole life.
"Hey Aria! Come on, let's play!" The young girl looked up from the ground, seeing her three best friends. Two were boys and the other was a girl. The boy in front smiled, reaching his hand out. "We're playing Overwatch, we need back up!"
Aria looked back down at the concrete floor. "I don't like the idea of playing war..." She muttered.
"But we need you!" The boy said with determination. "If we don't have a offense we won't be able to win!" He reached his hand out closer so it was right in front on her face. "Come one Thrasher!"
Aria blushed at her nickname. Sense sharks were her favorite animal her friends would call her Thrasher because she would thrash around when fighting. Breathing out Aria took her friends hand. "Okay. Thrasher, reporting in Tyler!"
Tyler smiled, pulling her up on her feet. "My code name is Overkill!" He then pulled her along till they reached the playground. "Iornclasp is badly wounded! Angelknife is healing him but is under attack! We need to protect them!"
Aria and Tyler pulled out their nerf-guns and fired at a tree. Lana (Angelknife) took her fake sword to drain energy from herself to heal Marcus (Iornclasp). As soon as he was healed, he grabbed his boxing gloves and join the group. They played for hours, getting all sweaty and tired. They laid their back on the grass, looking up at the clouded sky.
"It's really quite." Lana sighed. "It almost feels like there's no war happening."
"Yeah...I wish there wasn't." Aria said, is a sad ton.
"It's not like there's anything we could do." Marcus crossed his arms over his chest. "We're just kids."
"No, there is." Tyler sat up, looking at his friends with determination. "When I get older, I'm joining Overwatch!"
"What?!" Lana gasped in shock, sitting up. "Aren't you scared that you might die?!"
"I'd rather do something then live in fear." Tyler stood up looking down at his friends. "I know one thing, I want to do good. I want to be a hero, just like them!"
His friends looked at each other uneasy. Sure being a hero would be awesome, but hearing the news call constantly about the war and people dying was scary. Especially sense they were only ten years old. But they have been friends sense kindergarten, they always stuck together. To think that one of their friends wanted to join the fight...
"Okay." Marcus said, standing up, looking right at his friend. If you're the defense, you'll need a tank." He smirked.
Lana then stood up. "And you'll need a support."
The three friends looked down was still unsure. It was fun playing pretend Overwatch, but they were just kids. But the thought of her not joining her friends, them they might really need her...she couldn't let them down.
Sucking up her fear, she stood up, eyes glaring with determination. "And I'll be the offense."
Together they high fives, cheering and laughing.
It was a child's dream, but they kept it. They didn't tell their parents, knowing what they'd say. Aria didn't want to scare my mom, she had enough to worry about. Sense the war had taken a hit on company's, Aria's mom had to work in the safety of our home. It was fine at first but then her company was in the fire of battle in the middle of the city. Thank god no one was inside, but it caused hundreds of people out of a job. Her mom then had to figure out another way to support ourselves. Aria's dad was absolutely no help. He had a gambling problem and with any money her mom earned he would gamble with it. And when he did make money, he would use it on beer and other things men like. Aria had to help her mom hide the money as best as we could.
Aria still went to school with Tyler, Lana, and Marcus. Their friendship stayed the same, so did their dream. But as the years went by, the war got worse. They had to split up, and go to families that lived in safer places. They kept in touch, of course. Tyler and Mark started to work out to get stronger, Lana learning medical treatments. As for Aria, she was to busty taking care of her mom.
One day, Aria's family dictated to do to England. They had family there, so they thought staying there for a few weeks would be the safest. But they were wrong. No sooner then one week, the Omnics under the name Null Sector lunched a surprises attack on Kings row. It didn't take long for them to overtake the city.
Aria and her mom ran for their lives, during the chaos, they had lost track on her dad. Aria's mom had a hold of her daughter's hand pulling her along. "Stay with me Aria! Do not let go of my hand!" She shouted. There was smoke in the air, and you could hear gun fire from every detection.
They ran through alleyways, the roads were to dangerous. As they ran they tried to hide from any B73-NS they saw.
"Mom, I'm scared." Aria whimpered,she feared that she and her mom might die.
"It's going to be okay." Her mom reassured her, but it sounded uneasy.
They heard sirens going off and emergency evacuation. They was a safe zone not too far from where they were. They kept running, until they made a turn. They saw B73-NS fighting against some Overwatch solders. However one B73 spotted them. Aria's mom pulled her daughter back down the Alley. They ran but the B73 followed them. They took one wrong turn, and can to a wall. They were trapped. Aria's mom pushed her behind shielding her daughter.
"M-mom..." Aria started to tear up. This was it, they were going to die here. She got a good look at it. It was large, six feet high, and squared. Painted purple and it's red light-eye. It was nothing but a machine, it didn't care about incident lives, it's soul intent was to kill.
"Stay behind me." Her mom ordered. She stepped out a little, and tried to reason with it. "You don't have to do this. Please...I have a child. Please...let us live-"
Suddenly the B73 started to make noise, it reloaded its gun. As fast as she could, she turned her back to the robot and covered her body over her daughter. Aria watched in horror, as her mom was shot, six times in the back, blood started to leak out her stomach and chest, but she held strongly, protecting her daughter.
"MOM!" Aria cried out, tears falling down her face.
Her mother looked up at her, tears in her eyes, but she smiled. "I l-love you..." she cough blood. She started to lose strength in her body. She fell to her knees, still looking up at her daughter. "S-stay...alive..." she said, before collapsing in her lap.
Aria's body shook, trembling as she wrapped her arms around her mom. She looked back up at the B73 as it reloaded its gun again. Filled with sorrow and anger she screamed. "YOU BASTARD! YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER! SHE DID NOTHING TO YOU! AND YOU KILLED HER WITHOUT I SECOND THOUGHT!" She panted, glaring at it as it pointed its gun at her. "I swear...I WILL SCRAP EVERYONE OF YOU!"
Just when she thought it was the end. She heard someone roaring. Coming up from behind the robot, was an elder man wearing blue armor, and an Overwatch symbol on his chest plate. He swung his hammer at the B73, obliterating it to pieces. Aria gasped out, as she watched. She was safe she was alive. Her mom! Looking back down, she shouted out for the man. "P-please help! She been shot!"
The man looked over, his eyes widen at the gruesome sight. There was so much blood. "I need Mercy at my coordinates, now! We have an injured civilian!" He rushed over to Aria, leaning down to her. "It's going to be okay. Help is on the way." He reassured her, in a thick German accent. But they were running out of time.
Aria hugged her mom tightly. "Please...please hold on mom...Help is coming, you're going to be okay..." But as the seconds were counted down, her life faded away.
It was too late. By the time they medic came, her mother had passed. Aria was carried away the blonde woman and the armored man carried her mom's lifeless body. They made it to the safe zone. Aria found her dad, and learned the news of his wife. He tried to sue Overwatch, hopping to get some money out of it, but was declined. ]Aria didn't hold it against them, they tried, you can't save everyone. Aria blamed herself though, she was too scared to do anything, and her mom was dead because of her.
After that the years became much harder. Do to parental responsibility laws Aria's dad had to find a sustainable job to support his daughter and himself. But do to his terrible gamboling addiction they always struggled. Aria had to get a job herself. She didn't rely on her deadbeat dad. Her friends found out, and said she could stay with one of them, but she declined, not wanting to be a burden to them. That goal she and her friends had, was destroyed. She never wanted to see someone she cared about die in front of her again. Finally, the war had ended, humans one, but Overwatch became the target of humanity's anger, and as such, was shut down. Aria thought is was for the better, now her friends wouldn't be killed by those horrific machines. She continued to go to school, but it wasn't until graduation that things went horrible again.
It was just like a normal night. Aria was eating takeout dinner, alone in her home. Her dad, off doing who knows what. She was now eighteen, meaning she was a legal adult and can move out. As soon as things change up, she would move out, find a steady job I leave independently. Aria flipped through channels, before slowly feeling drowsy. She looked at the clock, 10:45. She had better get to sleep, and get ready for work tomorrow. Changing into her pjs she crashed on her bed, and drifted to sleep.
It was 1:58 when the front door opened. Two figures walked inside, looking around the house. "Focus on what we're here for." One of them said. Looking through the rooms they found Aria, sleeping peacefully, unaware of the two figures hovering over her.
Aria moved over her side, and slightly opened her eyes. When she saw two dark figures her body immediately jumped up, ready to scream. One of the figures covered her mouth and wrapped their other arm around her wast pinning her arms to her body. "Let's make this quick." The other one said, in a deep males voice. Aria started to thrash around trying to free herself, the the man pulled out a syringe and stabbed the needle in her right arm. Aria felt the drugs take over, and started to pass out. The last thing she heard was. "Okay, let's hurry up before the plane takes off without us."
