AN: As always, Reviews are loved and cherished, unless you have only bad things to say with no suggestions at improvements. Then you can go toss those Ideas into the fires of hell.

Soldiers:

Overwatch Logo shown as if in a security camera, before blinking out to reveal a shot of a stairwell, shown through a security camera. Soldier: 76 is seen sprinting up the stairwell before the camera pulls out to reveal a network of monitors, each linked to a security camera. A TALON agent hits a buzzer and sounds an alarm.

Cut to: A shot from worm's eye view of a squad of Talon soldiers running down a flight of stairs. The soldiers set up in a firing positions and begin shooting as Soldier: 76 sprints round the corner.

Soldier: 76 dives back behind the corner he rounded, a bullet scratching his arm in the process. Soldier 76 holes up behind the wall and waits while the soldiers cease firing and begin to advance towards him. Soldier: 76's fingers curl around the trigger of his heavy pulse rifle. A Short burst of static interrupts the scene as Ana calls Soldier: 76

Ana: I am in position, ready when you are.

Soldier: 76 looks down a corridor opposite at right angles to where the Talon soldiers are. The camera zooms down the corridor to show Ana crouching with her eye set on the scope of her biotic rifle.

Soldier: 76: glad to have you watching my back.

Soldier: 76 swings around as the Talon soldiers close on his location, catching one of them across the face. Soldier: 76 pulls up his pulse rifle and shoots two agents at point-blank range, stopping them dead.

As the bodies fall to the floor, soldier: 76 turns and sprints towards Ana, pausing only to fire a Helix Rocket at the group of Soldiers, who have swelled to twenty.

THe Helix Rocket explodes, filling the corridor with smoke. As the smoke clears, darts from Ana's Biotic Rifle begin to scythe through the advancing Talon Soldiers. Soldier: 76 passes Ana as she stands up and follows. In the rafters a dark figure watches Soldier: 76 and Ana run from the ever-growing number of Talon soldiers.

Soldier: 76 and Ana run into a courtyard where they hunker down behind a low wall.

Ana: That wasn't in the plan.

Soldier: 76: there were more of them then I expected.

Soldier: 76 sets his body against the wall and prepares to fire. Ana copies him. As the Talon Soldiers pour through the open door to the building, a the sound of an automatic rifle sounds, and several Soldiers at the front of the wave fall down as bullets strike them. Soldier: 76 looks to his upper right and sees a figure kneeling behind a pile of equipment, shooting at the soldiers in the courtyard. The figure is androgynous, and looks young. The face is obscured by shadows.

Soldier: 76: who's that idiot.

Ana looks where soldier: 76 is pointing, and sees the figure. She starts for a second, before shaking her head.

Ana: Don't know. He looked familiar for a second.

Soldier: 76 turns back to the courtyard in time to hurriedly punch a talon soldier who got too close in the face before he laid down a spate of covering fire, allowing him and Ana to pull back to a safer position. As they retreat, a canister is thrown from a roof and starts spewing smoke. When Soldier: 76 and Ana get to the courtyard entrance, the Talon Soldiers break free of the smoke and fire at the retreating forms of Soldier: 76 and Ana.

As soldier stumbles, caught in the shoulder by a bullet, the form of Reaper coalesces in front of Ana.

Reaper: *Laughs*

As Reaper fires a shotgun blast at Ana, only for a small figure to drop down between Reaper and Ana, absorbing the shotgun blast. A Cloud of sudden smoke erupts as the figure is hit, obscuring Ana, Reaper, and the mysterious figure.

Ana: *Coughs*

As Ana fans away the smoke, she sees the figure who intercepted the shotgun blast engaged in a fight with Reaper. As Reaper fires his shotguns, the figure slides under his shots and kicks Reaper in the groin. As Reaper bursts into black smoke the figure rolls to a kneeling stance and immediately fires at the Soldiers in the courtyard, who are starting to regroup from the sudden explosions.

Reaper reforms behind the figure as they turn around, as if sensing where Reaper is at all times. Ana Shoots her biotic rifle at Reaper while the figure breaks Reaper's grip on his shotguns with a quick burst of rifle fire. Reaper Pulls out another shotgun and Fires it directly into the figures midsection. Time slows down as the figure wavers.

Reaper: *Laughs*

THe camera shifts to a close-up sideways view of the figure and Reaper. The Figure is clutching its stomach while Reaper aims a shotgun at its head.

?: You'll have to do better than that, Uncle Gabriel.

THe Figure shoves Reaper's shotgun up as Reaper tries to fire it, and kicks Reaper in the chin. Reaper dissolves into smoke as the Figure throws a familiar canister, from which smoke spews, covering the escape of the figure, Soldier: 76, who managed to get up and run on, and Ana. When the trio are out of the danger zone, Soldier: 76 turns and grabs the figure by the collar of their military Jacket, hoisting them up into the air.

Soldier: 76: Who are you!

As the Figure is hoisted up into the air a face becomes outlined. Piercing green eyes stare out from a slightly rounded face. White scars criss-cross her face as she Beams down at Soldier: 76.

Soldier: 76 and Ana both freeze, Soldier: 76 dropping the figure after a split second. Soldier: 76 then picks up the figure and embraces her fiercely.

Soldier: 76: Alyssa!

Midnight Returns Soldier: 76's embrace as Ana Wipes a tear from her eye.

Midnight: Well, dad, I wasn't expecting this warm a welcome.

Soldier: 76 pulls back from the embrace but keeps his right hand on Midnight's shoulder.

Soldier: 76: I… Lake Champlain… Team Destroyed…

Soldier: 6 hugs midnight again.

Soldier: 76: I'm glad you're safe.

Midnight squirms in Soldier: 76's embrace.

Midnight: Dad!

Soldier: 76: *Chuckles*

Soldier: 76 releases Midnight. Midnight walks over to Ana, who has been standing a bit away from the others, watching. Midnight pulls Ana into a hug.

Midnight: It's nice to see you, Aunt Ana.

Ana smiles, and pats Midnight on the head gently while returning the embrace.

Ana: It's nice to see you again as well, Alyssa.

Ana and Midnight break their embrace and turn towards Soldier: 76, who is waiting Impatiently.

Soldier: 76: Enough standing around. We need to get back to the hideout.

Midnight looks at Ana. Both smile, and the three make their way down a back alley as the camera pans up to the stars. Fade out.

AN: First attempt at an Animated Short script. please review. Also, for those who are confused by Soldier: 76's reaction to Midnight, remember that Midnight, AKA Alyssa Morrison, is Soldier: 76's adopted daughter.
