Alright then, now lets read.
Chapter 3: New Hunt
No pov
Once again, the sun was nearing the end of its journey across the sky and settling down beyond the horizen. On its way it had cast its beautiful orange streaks amongst the clouds, trapping the sky in an sea of fire.
And yet, this serene picture was shattered. A gap in the sky was formed and continued to grow. This gap seemed to have been ripped in reality itself as it took on a reddish colour, nearing the size of a small house. Two heads of a mammalian creature seemed to manifest into existance. Following the vicious heads were its long amored necks, spreading into its muscular body, wings, legs and finally its tail.
On the back of this beast, its two riders held on to its reins. The beast quickly descended onto the roof of nearby building to avoid being noticed. Making contact with the stone, it drew its wings close inwards to use as forelegs. It lowered its body slightly to make it easy for its riders to jump off it.
The two jumped off. The smaller one walked to the edge of the stony roof to get a look their surroundings. "Well what are the odds, it looks like we're in London, love. In King's row in fact" she said.
The bigger one walked up beside her and shared the view. "What are the odds indeed. If i remember correctly, this is not far from where i first met you" the orc said.
"I think you're right, love" Lena agreed. "My old house should be somewhere that way" she pointed to the left down a road.
"This world doesnt seem to have...Have.."
"Have wha'?" Lena looked at her companion. Confusion claimed her face as the orc beside her seemed to be staring into the thin air.
Lena tilted her head slightly. "Uhm, you ok there, love?" she asked. But the orc remained in his silent stare.
Lena waved her hand in from of his face. "'ello? Anyone home?"
Finally Saldrok broke his trance and shook his head. "Sorry Lena" he apologized.
"Wha' 'appened?" she asked concerned.
The orc took a moment to think. "Its as if...I sensed something...Unusual" he said, his voice seemed distant.
He walked away from the edge and onto the center of the roof. He sat down in a meditation position. "I'll have to check if what i sensed is true" he said, surrounding himself in the rage as Kragosh laid down beside him. The aura was of calm flames, gently waving back and forth, some streaks reached out into the air, as if searching for something.
"While you do tha'" She began, curious. "Wha' am i supposed to do?"
He turned to her and smiled. "Do as you wish" he simply stated.
She thought about that for a second, before some ideas began to form in her head. Her lips curled up into a savage grin as she had decided.
Turned onto the edge again, she jumped. Falling through the air without a hint of fear, she curled her body and landed silently on the street. Standing up and looking around, she was a little disappointed to see that the streets was deserted. "Probably because its dark" she thought to herself.
But then her eyes spotted a man. He was on her right side, walking in the opposite direction. Grinning to herself, she blinked his way. "'ey you" she called out.
The man turned in her direction. He had short cut black hair with a full beard, looking to around his early 40's. His clothing was as usual as they could be, Jeans, a white t-shirt and a brown jacket.
He had to take a second glance at the unusual armor this girl approaching him was wearing. "Uhm, yes? Can i...Help you?" he asked, confusion painted in his face a visible in his voice.
Lena just shrugged it off. "Wha' date is this" she asked, stopping in front of him.
"Hold on" the guy said, taking out his phone from his jacket. "Its the 29th of july." he answered.
Lena grinned slightly. "July, huh? Its only been 4 months since i left" she thought.
"Now if i may ask" the guy began "Why are you dre-" he gurgled on the remains of that sentance as gap had formed on his throat. He stumbled to ground, coughing up blood and trying in vain to stop bleeding.
"Thanks, love" she said, wiping the blood off one of her daggers. She sheathed it and turned to walk the other way, leaving the unfortunete man to bleed out. But she didnt care.
She rounded another corner, continuing her search.
"Mom, im bored" a little dark brown haired girl at the age of 10 complained. Walking beside her mother, they were going home after having been out to get some groceries for tomorrow.
"We'll be home in a moment, sweetie" her mother answered.
The girl sighed in disappointment, looking around for something. Anything. Suddenly her eyes fixated on another woman walking away from them. The girl instantly recognized the spikey hairstyle and couldnt believe her eyes. "It- Its Tracer" she thought.
Letting excitement drive her, she left her mother's side and ran towards the hero. She was actually going to meet the famous Tracer. The Overwatch agent and hero.
"Hey" she called out. Seeing her stop, the girl slowed her pace. Stopping a small distance away, she slowly approached.
"E-excuse me, but are you...Miss Tracer" the girl asked, her voice mixed between excitement and shyness.
The hero in question just chuckled without turning around. The girl's smile lowered slightly as it was not light and heartly. It was darker. "I was" she answered and resumed her walk.
The little girl blinked in confusion. Was? What was she talking about. Letting curiousity get the better of her, she ran after her idol. She tapped her lower leg, not noticing the knives in her armor.
"W-what do you mean? You're a hero" she said, still shy and confused.
Unbeknown to the girl, a wicked grin formed on 'Tracer's' face. "Once again, love, i was" she said, very slowly turning around. The girl looked expectingly up, thinking that she would be met by the hazel brown eyes of her idol. But instead, the stuff of nightmares greeted her.
The red pupilless eyes came into the little girls view. She gasped and took a step back in fear. Following this, was the armor which scared the girl even more. The red aura began to rise from the form of the young woman, making all the sockets in her skulls glow with red energy.
The little girl, now frozen with fear, could not move. She couldnt even find the will to breathe. Her eyes were locked on the hero turned nightmare figure in front of her. Allowing her grin to grow into an evil smirk, Lena tilted her head slightly to the side. If she remembered correctly, this was the same little girl she had seen on the night of Mondatta's assassination
"Wha's wrong little girl" She chuckled, sending shivers down the young's spine. She took a step foward "scared?". Visibly shaking, the little one took a step back, not removing her eyes from the monster towering over her.
Suddenly, rapid footsteps caught Lena's attention. The mother of the child came rushing towards them. Warping her arms protectingly around her daughter, she dragged her terrified child a couple of steps away from Lena.
"Stay away from my daughter!" the mother shouted determened, but also with fear creeping into her voice aswell.
Lena's smirk didnt fade the slightest. "Dont worry. I 'avent hurt her...Yet"
She suddenly disapeared from sight. Before the mother could look around, a blade was thrust through her neck and out the throat. She choked, dropping on the ground, she desperately tried to catch her dying breath.
"Mommy" the child, tears forming in he eyes, as her mind was trying to process what was happening. "Mommy, please, wake up" she shook her now still mother, a small pool of blood forming under her throat, trying to wake her up.
Lena, reapearing where she was a second ago, slowly approached the sobbing child. The little one looked up at the devil approaching. She screamed and tried the crawling backwards. Only to bump into a pair of legs. Looking up, she was greeted by the same red eyes she was trying to escaped.
Lena leaned down to the child, looking straight into the eyes which had now become waterfalls of tears. "You 'ave 3 seconds, love. One"
The child jumped to her legs and just ran. She didnt know where she was going.
"Two"
Just away, that was all in her mind. Just run away from the monster. Tears were dripping down on the ground as the image of her dead mother repeatingly displayed itself in her mind. Just...run away. Run away.
Lena's smirk claimed her face once again. "Three"
A knive pierced through the air and found its mark. Deep in the back of the little girls head. Dropping dead on the spot, the childs face showing only one thing. Horror. "...Mommy..."
Retrieving her knive, the huntress laughed. "You didnt run fast enougt, love"
But then another laughter joined in. This one was dark, hoarse and almost echoey. The smirk left Lena's face as she looked around, her hands reaching down to her hips, ready to grab her weapons at any time.
She caught movement in the cornor of her eye and turned, blades at the ready. But all she was facing, was a shadowy alleyway. Deciding to follow the faded laughter, she walked into the shadows. Through the shadows, she knew someone was watching her. The alley ended in an open space surrounded by buildings.
There was nothing here, but a couple of trashbins and a barely working lightpole. The lightpole gave up and darkness claimed the area. Lena heard the laughter again, this time, at the opposite end. Shadows seemed to gather in a swirling vortex. They manifested into arms and legs. Finally the transformation was complete and before the female beastmaster, stood a man clad in a black robe. With a skull mask covering his face, this would surely scare the hell out of any normal person, but Lena just looked at the figure, unimpressed.
"I never would have imagened you, the time traveling brit of goodness, doing something like that" he said, referring to the now dead mother and child. The eyes behind the mask scanned her form. "And i like your new style" he chuckled.
Lena sheathed her daggers as the shadowwalker approached her. "Wha' are you doing 'ere, Reaper" she asked, trying not to sound irretated.
"I could ask you the same thing" he countered, somewhat calmly. "But i dont care, and you killing those two was incredible, i must say". Lena decided to take it as a compliment. "Well, i do enjoy the looks i get" she said crossing her arms. Reaper laughed again. His hoarse voice echoing in the area.
"My thoughts exactly" he said. Altho Lena couldnt see his face, she somehow knew it became serious. "I could use an efficient partner like you" he said, making Lena raise an eyebrow. "And Talon would pay quite alot for your assistance" he said reaching out with a clawed glove. "What do you say?"
Lena looked briefly at the hand and then back to his masked face. "Teaming up with you and work with Talon for money" she began, forming a grin on her face. Reaper waited expectingly for her to finish her sentance. A laugh escaped her lips "only a fool would accept such an offer. I'll never work with you or those cowards Talon" She said mockingly.
A grunt escaped the mask of the reaper as he retracked his hand. "A Shame" he said, taking a couple of steps back and taking out his dual shotguns. "We could have become rich in blood money" he said.
And instant later he fired a shot. Lena easily dogded by blinking. He shot again, with her blinking again. She faked a yawn just to mock him. He growling in annoyance, taking his shadowform again and disapeared. Lena stood still for a second before tilting her head to the side, avoiding a point blank shot to the head.
She followed up by kicking him in the chest, quickly turn around and land a roundhouse kick to his face. Reaper quickly answered by taking another shot which Lena barely dodged by turning her body. Taking the oppotunity, Reaper landed a hard kick on her side, sending her flying. In mid air, Lena reached for her belt and threw three knives in the mercenary's direction.
Reaper saw the incoming weapons and shifted into his wraith from. Lena landed on her feet and looked to see her knives had missed their target. Reaper laughing at her foolishness and reformed back to normal. "How do a girl like you hope to defeat death?" he asked in mock.
Lena grinned. "Easily" she answered. Reaper raised a decayed eyebrow under his mask.
Lena let the rage fill her. The burning red aura flaming into existance, making her eyes pupilless red once again. Before Reaper had time to react, Lena was infront of him and gave an overhumanly strong punch to the gut. Forced to hunch down, Reaper soon felt a knee to his face. If his bones had been normal, they would surely have been broken.
Not giving him as much as a second to recover, she grabbed his throat and threw him to the other side of the place.
Crashing into the trashbins, Reaper glared at the girl who was beginning to annoy him. Seeming to levitate from the ground, he took out another pair of shotgun. Lena was already running towards him, just the way Reaper wanted it.
Shadows were suddenly swirling viciously around him, covering the whole place in a thick shroud, only making Lena slowdown slightly. Shadowy bullets were literally flying everywhere. "Die. Die. DIE!"
Reaper tossed the used shotguns to the side, feeling the satisfaction of another kill. But as the shadows began to die down, a red light shined through them. With her aura eating away the shadows, she slowly walked towards the stunned mercenary, the bullet holes in her body and armor mending together until there were no trace of them at all.
Reaper stared in disbelief. "What?! Impossible" he shouted.
Grinning, Lena reached out with a burning hand. Reaper became his wraith form again, intending on flying away to think of-
His thoughts were interrupted as he felt the hand grab him. He let out a scream as the touch felt like molten lava covering his non-existing skin. He was throw into a cornor, being forced out of the wraith form and hit the wall hard. He tried picking himself up, looking up at his opponent approaching.
"H-how?" he tried.
Lena mocked him with laughter. "A simple thing i learned about killing things like you" she said kneeling down to meet the level of the skull mask. "If you cant bleed their physical body, you'll just have to rend their soul" she said in a tone so dark, it could easily match his.
Not giving him a chance to think, Lena grabbed his throat and watched him scream in agony. She stood up, smirking and still holding the not-so-tough-now Reaper. Deciding she had heard enought of his pathetic screams, she tossed him aside like a broken tool.
Barely recovering from the intense pain, he glared up at the girl who had actually defeated him. "This...Isent...Over" he growled before becoming a wraith again and flying away.
Lena looked up at the rooftops he had escaped over. "I'd be disappointed if it were" she said outloud. After all, it was more fun to let the prey run with the knowledge of someone stronger than them. Making them live with the fear.
Saldrok was probably wondering where she was. Retrieving her knives, exiting the alley and casting another glance at her previous victims, she had a feeling that this 'visit' would be fun.
Saldrok was still sitting in his meditation position with his eyes closed. Using his rage to greatly extend his sight, he searched for what he had sensed was there. He could feel he was close to discovering the truth. And as if on cue, he felt it. Energy similar to his own.
He could hear Lena's footstep now. "There is no doubt now" he said getting up, letting his aura disappear. "I dont know why i did not feel it when i was first here" he pondered as he turned to look at Lena.
"Wha' 'ave you found, love?" she asked, curious.
"I sensed it. Rage"
Her eyes grew wider. "Rage? You mean like ours?" She asked, getting really interested.
The orc nodded. "Yes, this world still has more Rage"
"Alright" She cheered. "Where can we find it?"
"Not 'it'"
"Huh?"
"Them" he corrected "i actually sense two"
.
Dr. Angela Ziegler, known to some as Mercy, was looking forward to relax after a hard days work. Rounding another corner in her car, she was greeted by the relieving sight of her home.
Parking infront of it, got her handbag from the back seat, got out of the car and locked it. She quickly climbed the stairs and opened her front door. Entering her own sactuary, a relieved sigh escaped her smiling mouth. As said before, it had been a hard day at work. She had a succesful yet stressful operation at the hospital today and it took quite alot out of her.
Closing the door behind her, taking off her shoes and hanging her jacket, she laid her handbag on the kitchen counter and basically threw herself on the couch. Allowing herself to finally close her eyes and enjoy some peace and quiet while it lasted.
But in this tranquil state, a dark thought started to creep its way into her mind. Memories of Overwatch disbanding again. With no one to lead them, they had each gone their seperate ways since then.
Angela had found a good place to stay in Berlin. Buying a decent size house for herself and getting a job at the local hospital. The hospital had been build about 2 years ago, not far from the southern egde of Berlin. It had been pretty easy for Angela to get a position as doctor because of her well known reputation in nanobiology.
Running a hand through her messy hair, she opened her eyes and sighed. Letting it fall free from the ponytail she had made it into this morning, she got up. The faint growl of her stomach acompanied her on the way to the kitchen. She was too tired to go get some groceries. Good thing she had done so yesterday, she reminded herself.
Taking out a handful ingredients for a salad and getting get a chopping knife from the drawer, she began to make some dinner.
She was about to put a meatballs on the frying pan when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" she wondered, making her way to the door. Grabbing the handle and hearing the faimiliar faint creaks, she met the visitor.
"Hello old friend" The towering behemoth of a man kindly greeted her.
Slightly surprised at seing him, she managed a smile. "Oh, hello Reinhardt, please come in" she kindly gesture and moved aside.
"Zhank you" he followed.
As Angela closed the door, Reinhardt looked round her house. "Lovely place you have" he complimented.
"Thank you, Reinhardt. But tell me, what brings you here?" she asked getting back into the kitchen.
"Do i need a reazon to vizit a friend?" He jokingly asked.
Angela smiled. "I guess not" she opened the frigde. "Can i get you anything?"
"Just a beer if you have zome" he answered.
Angela looked around and spotted a few beer cans in the corner. Grabbing it and handing it to the german "here you go"
"Zhank you my friend" he opened the can and took a sip.
"So how are thing going with you" Angela asked, trying to get a conversation started.
"They are going very nice. Found a nice place to ztay and got a good job" he said walking into the living room, sitting in the couch and taking another sip from his beer. "What kind of job" Angela asked curious, walking over and sitting beside him.
"Az a heavy lifter for a moving company" he laughed. Angela joined in with a chuckle. "Of course they would need a strong man for that" she thought smiling.
"What about you, Angela? How are you doing here?" he asked.
She cleared her throat. "Well after i bought this house, i got a job at the hospital". Reinhardt took another sip. "Az a doctor?" she nodded. "Ah, of course, im zure they appreciate a talented woman like you" he praised.
Angela's smile grew at the kind compliment. "Thank you very much, Rein"
They continued to convers for about 10 minutes about a couple of things. About the old days and pleasent memories. But as Reinhardt finished his beer, he locked at the clock and seemed to realize something.
"Oh, zhe time flies" he said getting up.
"You're going already" Angela asked, both playfully and a little disappointed.
"Yez unfortunetely" He said, walking over to take his shoes. "I vill be staying in Berlin for a couple of days. Perhaps i could come vizit again?" he said, looking back at his friend.
Angela nodded. "That sounds nice"
"Hehe good" he opened the door but hesitated for a moment. "Oh before i forget. I believe McCree iz in Berlin too. I'll bring him along next time, yes?" he looked back to the blonde.
"That would be excelent" she smiled.
"Okey zhen, bye" he waved.
"Bye" she returned.
After the door had closed, Angela shook her head. "He never changes, that big guy. It was nice to see him again" she thought, returning to the kitchen.
But doing so, she noticed a tiny little spider crawling its way over the wall. The arach creature stopped, seeming to reconsider its way, it decided to crawl upwards instead.
Angela slowly approached the small animal. She was not afraid of spiders and saw them as innocent beings just trying to survive. So whenever she saw a spider or a fly, she always made sure they were put outside in nature where they belonged.
Slowly guiding the spider into her open palm, she moved toward the window.
"Dont worry little friend" she said to it, knowing fully well that it probably couldnt understand her. "I will put you out there where you can...Can..." her thoughts just stopped right there at that moment, as if she had completely forgotten where she was going.
"No..." she began. "No...You come in here and think this is YOUR HOME?" she shouted at the trembling creature. "You think you can leave your annoying webs anywhere you want in MY HOME?! Well THINK AGAIN!"
Her fingers warped together in closing her hand, crushing the little spider's fragile body. She hurried over and threw the remains in the trash. "SERVES YOU RIGHT YOU ANNOYING LITTLE SCHWEINHUND!"
The sudden anger was quickly replaced by a dizzyness. Holding a hand to her hand while blinking rapidly. Her other hand found its way to the nearby counter for support.
"Wha- What happened? I...I must be more worn out than i thought" she thought steadying herself. "I...I should probably go to bed earlier today"
And that is it for this chapter.
As i said before, you may think Lena as evil if you want. And i hope you liked the fight between Reaper and Lena.
And i also hope that you could take the taste of Lena's brutality. Because it will only get better and bloodier. Enjoy.
Btw, these first 3 chapters were made in advance, so i am still working on the others. I dont know when the next will be up because work is starting very soon, but i will try. I will try to write when i can.
