Part 7: Come! Oh, Premeditated Demise!
Widowmaker cried as she remembered how she killed her beloved husband. She remembered what his last words were.
Sombra watched the cold assassin wept tears. She got her this time. She revert Widowmaker back to her old self. "Don't worry, Amelie." She said. "You'll pay for what you did."
"I know what I did is horrible." The assassin confessed. "But I was not myself. I…"
"Oh, I got a message for you... from a relative of Gerard." Sombra turned off her voice modulator, her voice changed into a deep Frenchman voice. "This is for my son." Sombra raised her SMG to the assassin's head and- a call came.
It's Mr. Mors.
"I have the file now. I'm getting out of here."
"No." He said.
"What do you mean 'no'?"
"I want the files now." Mors said. "Send it to me."
"Oh, no way. This is not part of the deal." Sombra replied. "No. The deal is that I give you the files face to face. You have something for me, right? Something I want. We can exchange there."
Mr. Mors was silent.
Sombra doesn't like the silent call. "If you are not going to-"
"Alright." He spoke. "I'm coming there."
"What?" He hung up the call.
"Hijo de puta." Sombra panicked but then remembered her plan. Manhattan was still in the base. She smirked after that thought. "Eh, I don't need it anyway." She went to the submarine but Amélie called. "Please! Let me come with you!"
"Oh, I forgot." Sombra raised her gun to the former assassin.
Amélie begged for her life. "Don't kill me!"
The hacker then remembered something about her. "Wait. Do you have that fancy mansion, niña?"
"Yes?"
"Perfect."
He is done.
William stopped what he was doing. He took time to see what he did. He looked around him and saw destruction. Drones and corpses of Talon agents surrounded him in the great pit.
Was this a simulation?
He began to wonder.
William screamed in pain as he remembered his past. He doesn't want to but the red power forced him to. It wanted him to feel pain and rage. The red power relies on those two. Genji androids came in, targeting him. They pulled out their dragon blades and attacked the red man.
These androids have all Genji's abilities and skills but this young lieutenant took them down easily. It's because of the red power he has. When an android's sword touched his skin, it didn't cut his skin instead the red power released a surge of energy through the sword and in to the android, short-circuited it.
The androids began to change their strategy.
But William has no strategy. He just attacked them head on.
The androids scanned the young man's vitals and energy boost and found out it is similar to Winston's rage ability. They have a counter strategy for that.
Reinhardt has a hard time with the Genji android. Knowing the cyborg was stalling, he contacted the team. "We need someone to retrieve them."
McCree's down.
Tracer's down.
Torbjörn's incapacitated.
Winston said, "I'm going in."
"No! Keep the ship going." Soldier: 76 said. "I'll go get them." He went to the trembling Talon base to search and rescue. Easily located his teammates, he found Ana, Pharah and Mercy hiding in the room, wounded and disabled. "Are you guys alright?" He remembered the corpses of the Talon and Overwatch agents around the area.
"Mom is hurt and Mercy needs medical attention."
"Great." He said. "Our medic is down." He called in Winston. "I found them. Taking them to extraction point."
"Copy that. The ship will be ready."
The Talon agent Manhattan entered the base's power core. He needs power. "Alright then. Time for some fireworks."
"Hey! You can't be here!" Several Talon agents raised their weapons to the former scientist.
"Well, I have to honest." Manhattan said. "I never liked terrorists." He switched off his suit energy regulator and then burst out releasing green flames.
The radioactive fire consumed the agents. It quickly killed them. Their weapons melted.
"Sometimes, I overdo it." Manhattan comments about his powers. The scientist continued his work and opened the power core chamber and absorbed its energy. What he was doing stings but he kept on going. He has to do this.
He has to flip the chessboard.
The ship detected a threat in the Talon base. "WARNING: RADIOACTIVITY LEVEL INCREASED" The ape responded to the computer. "Where?" It showed him the location of the increasing radioactivity and it's at the core of the Talon base. "Oh no."
He knows what will happen if it keeps increasing. "We need to get out of here."
But then, "WINSTON!" Tracer's voice called his name.
The ape responded. "Lena? Where are you?" Then he saw silhouettes of his friend blink simultaneously in and out of time. "Stay where you are, Lena! I have a spare Chronal Accelerator." He turned on the device and his friend returned to the present.
The girl was relieved to be back. "Oh, god. Thank you, Winston." Then she saw Reinhardt having trouble fighting the cyborg ninja. "That's not him." Tracer said.
"What do you mean?" Torbjörn dragged dead cowboy in the ship.
"Oh, god!" Lena was shocked to see her friend McCree dead. "I mean... that's not Genji. It's an android."
"What do you mean-"
Then Reinhardt managed to land a hard hit on the cyborg ninja, crushing it into a pulp. The German raised his hammer and looked at the result. "Okay. That doesn't look normal."
"What did you see, Reinhardt?" Torbjörn asked through the comms.
"It's not human, that's for sure." He added. "But it's organic. Blood's green. Not normal." But then three Genji androids came in, ready to eliminate the German Crusader. Their visors turned red, targeting the large armored man.
"This is not good." Tracer said.
Three of them leaped towards the German about to strike.
Reinhardt activated his shield before they hit him.
Surprisingly, Soldier: 76 came in and used his Tactical Visor to shot down the androids in mid-air. "You are getting old, Reinhardt."
"Same to you." The German smirked. He saw Ana, Angela and Fareeha with him. "Okay. Everyone's here."
But then Fareeha said, "But Will is still inside."
Regaining consciousness, Angela responded. "He'll be alright."
"What makes you think that?"
Then numerous heads of those Genji androids were rolled towards them from the shadows. Everybody looked at the shadows and saw the red glowing silhouette of William. He walked forward to them.
Everyone prepared their weapons for an attack.
The young lieutenant was breathing heavily like he has been fighting for days. He saw Angela and he remembered what he did. "I'm sorry."
Angela took his apology.
But then he said, "You need to get out of here."
"We are not leaving without you!" Fareeha said.
"No." William said. "I have to do something. It wanted me to do something." He just came to them just to say goodbye. He just wanted to see them one last time before they leave. "I need to go." The young agent left them, heading back to the base.
The other agents went to the ship and leave.
Manhattan absorbed all the energy. Task one complete.
The next thing he do was to release it in one single burst.
Before he could do it, an Overwatch agent charged towards him interrupted his final task.
William came to stop the scientist because the stone commanded him. He threw a punch to the radioactive man several times. Every hit sparked and caused fire.
Manhattan fought back. He kicked the agent back. "Get off me, kid!" He threw a powerful radioactive beam to young man.
However, the agent was protected by the red element. He withstand the intense heat of the beam and went closer to his enemy. He grabbed his arm and managed to throw a punch to the face.
His glowing foe fell to the ground after that. "Damn you!"
"Stop it now!" William yelled.
"What do you want?"
He answered with a chilling tone. "It wants Power." William grabbed Manhattan's head with both hands and started absorbing all the energies that the scientist took including his. Manhattan screamed in pain. He tried to break free but the process cannot be stopped. William and the red element continued taking away his energy. The young agent gathered all of the energy and threw the fragile scientist aside.
Then the red stone spoke to him. Let go.
And so he did.
