So before the start of the chapter, I just want to thank you everyone who gave their time to read this. It means a lot to me.
Anyways, this chapter came out later than expected, as I am quite busy with school AND that I just recovered from a sickness.
Let's get on with the chapter already.
They were discussing what to do now. Most recruits have arrived. Yet Genji's brother Hanzo was nowhere to be seen.
That's so like him, Genji thought. Always doing things like I forced him. He would always show up at the last second, even though he likes helping me.
The watch point got more crowded, with the arrival of 3 people. Mei, a scientist, arrived from China. She worked with Overwatch before.
The next one is , a professional gamer turned soldier, she joined hoping to make a difference in the world.
The last one is Lucio, a dj from Brazil.
"I've got intel that they would be striking at Volskaya first. They want to take the Chairman hostage. I'll volunteer on going." Came the soldier.
"Talon may also strike at King's Row, where Mondatta is. He is a prime target right now, if they kill him, they may spark another war." Said Lena. "I'll go."
That leaves Genji, and Mei. "Since we know the location of their base, I'll go check on what's going on in there. I'll go alone, as we must be discreet." The Cyborg announced.
"Alright, the remaining members can stay here and guard the watch point."
"That's right, Winston. The doctor and I may stay here and provide medical support if necessary." Said the optimistic DJ, who wanted action at first, yet didn't have a chance to help.
"Alright, that's settled. We move at dawn."
"Are you sure you can take care of yourself, Genji?"
"Stop worrying, Doctor. I've handled myself quite well over the past 5 years. What makes you think I can't look after myself?"
"I am worried, Genji. Even though I don't consider myself a Doctor anymore, I still have the instincts of one."
"Come on. Their base is located in France. It's not far from here. Look, I've got a built in tracker in my suit. If you really are worried, just check up on me."
The Doctor seemed to calm down at first, yet she got nervous again. She doesn't want to lose Genji, or anyone ever again.
The resurrection device was almost complete. She needed to finish it quick, before it was too late. She knows that she is playing God right now, yet couldn't help it.
These people, they are family. She already lost her family twice. She doesn't want to lose them again.
Everyone got up early the following day. As Genji was slowly walking towards his transport, Angela was looking at him, a gaze a mother would give to a child who was being sent to school on their first day. Or a look of a wife sending his husband away to combat.
Genji noticed this, and felt happy. At least someone in this world still cared for him.
Angela watched as the 3 of them departed.
Right. It was time for her to get to work.
Genji looked at his map. It seems that their base is located what was once a place named Verdun.
A war that happen about 200 years ago destroyed this city to ruins. Now it had many old bunkers and trenches for ruins. A perfect place to hide something.
Genji spent the time of his traveling looking up the history of this city that once existed. The history was very interesting. The war was like the Omnic Crisis, yet was fought between people.
Empires that were eager to test their weapons on each other. Genji knew all too well what one man can do to another.
War was unnecessary, he knew that. That's why he wanted to help put a stop to all of this.
Just when he was looking up countries that didn't exist now, his transport has arrived.
Guess I'll leave this for later, he thought.
He hopped off the transport and started to climb the trees of the nearby forest.
He arrived at the historic site in just under 15 minutes because of his enhanced speed.
He could see holes everywhere, as well as bunkers and trenches, as well as… snipers.
Their sources were correct, their base of operations was here.
He could spot hover tanks, and hover planes as well.
How could no one have noticed them? From what he could see, they were the size of a small army!
And they still call themselves an 'organisation.'
Just looking at their size wasn't enough. Genji wanted to see their base, and find anything else useful as well.
He used the environment to his advantage. He turned off his lights on his suit and went to stealth mode.
He would hide in the holes on the ground first. These holes were made from artillery shells during the war.
He would then jump out of the holes and run to the next one while the snipers weren't looking.
This continued on until he got to the bunker of considerable size.
He opened the door and slipped in. He noticed two guards coming to his position. He hopped up and latched to the roof.
The two guards passed by him. He jumped down and took both of them down if a quick strike with his katana. "All too easy." He said to himself.
He turned right from the entrance, and found a double door. He opened the doors. He seems to have found the communication room.
On the table, there were multiple devices for communication, as well as files that looked important.
He proceeded to take a look.
The file read: Target Locations: Berlin, Germany. Rome, Italy. Warsaw, Poland.
And many other more capitals of countries nearby. What are they planning? To destroy buildings? To cause mayhem?
Just then, someone opened the doors.
"Hey! We've got an intruder!" the man shouted.
Genji threw his shurikens and killed the man there. But he was too late. He heard other guards running to his location right now.
This is bad, he was trained to fight multiple targets at once, but not against a small army.
The alarms sounded. He had to escape, but how?
He sprinted out the door. There, he bumped into 3 guards. They all have rifles.
"Hey!" someone shouted, and shot their rifles. Genji took out his katana and deflected most of the shots, killing them in the process. But some damage was done to his shoulders and abdomen.
His suit was built to withstand some damage, but not much.
He moved quietly.
"OW!" A sharp pain shot up to his head from his back. He turned around, he saw two other guards shooting at him.
He jumped up and threw his shurikens. They hit their mark between their eyes.
"This is bad, if I take more damage… I can't die here! Not when I promised her that I can take care of myself!"
4 more guards came around the corner. One with a sword, the other three have pistols.
Genji dashed over to the guards with pistols, one by one he cut them down.
The sound of wires cut. Genji looked over to his left arm. It got cut clean off by the person with the sword.
"UGH!" He punched the man with his remaining arm. Rendering him unconscious.
He is starting to black out. His internal systems are failing.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Ziegler. It seems I have been too foolish…"
He lied on the ground, the sound of his machinery completely silent.
"Oh no. No. No." Angela gasped. Tears flowing from her face.
The tracker on Genji had gone off. This only meant one thing, that he was either dead or captured.
She hoped it was the latter, yet she can't take any chances.
She ran to Winston. He must be at the resting area.
"Winston! Genji, he's…"
"I know. I just saw that too. But we can't risk any men to retrieve him. The chances of him surviving are slim to none."
"Then.." she began to cry.
Just then, the alarms sounded on Winston's computer.
Athena's voice came on the intercom.
"It seems we have one intruder."
The doors were kicked open. It was none other than Hanzo Shimada.
"I've sensed that my brother is in danger. I came over as quickly as I could. I'll go and find him. I need a transport. Also, I wish to join your organisation."
"Alright, Hanzo. You have access to hanger 3. It's just below this room. Go find your brother now." Said Winston.
Without a word, the Shimada quickly went away.
"I'll go help him." Came McCree, who just heard their conversation.
"Please. Find him." The doctor said, between sobs.
"Dead or Alive. I promise you."
A rather short chapter, I know. But this is a better place to cut off the chapter.
Feedback is much appreciated.
