Let the fun begin…

"Reaper!" Lucio cried.
Reaper gave a low cackle. "That's right, and I have a bone to pick with you."
"Come on man," Lucio replied, backing up. "You don't have to do this."
"That's not your decision." he mumbled. He then turned to face the audience, pointing one of his shotguns towards them. Some people gasped at the sight. "If someone so much as twitches, they die."
From out of nowhere, men dressed in red and black rushed to the perimeter of the group, each one of them armed with a machine gun. Lucio gazed in horror as the capitol square became a kill box.
"Hey, leave them alone! You want me? Fine, but leave them out of this!" Lucio ordered.
"I can't do that Lucio." Reaper growled. "Now, here are my demands. You surrender and come with me. If not, well,"
Suddenly, each of the talon agents reloaded their guns simultaneously. The crowd instantly ducked in fear. Lucio gritted his teeth. He then knew what he had to do.
"Okay, Okay, you got me." Lucio called. "Just let them go."
Reaper chuckled. "That's right Lucio, now, give up your gun, and come with us." Reaper then turned around and mumbled something. "Widowmaker, take the shot."
On the opposite building Widowmaker was waiting patiently. She smiled as Reaper gave the order. "With pleasure." she replied. Her visor slipped on, and she aimed carefully. Lucio came into the crosshairs, and she rested her finger on the trigger. But before she could pull it, something came into view. A mere glimpse of something in her visor.
"Something is here." she said on the channel.
Reaper heard and turned to face Lucio. "You brought the team didn't you!"
Lucio's heart stopped. How did he know? The team was inside the capitol building, not even he knew where exactly they were. How did Reaper know? "I don't know what your talking about!" Lucio lied.
"You think I buy that for a minute." Reaper yelled, pointing his shotguns at Lucio. "If you want something done, you have to do it yourself."
Reaper unleashed a volley of shots. Lucio braced himself, closing his eyes, fully expecting to be shot. Even if he tried to dodge, the shotgun would've ended him.
But it didn't.
Lucio cautiously opened his eyes, and saw a figure in front of him. It was a suit that vaguely reminded him of Pharah, and Genji at the same time. It had a dark gray exterior, but no wings and a golden visor where his eyes should be. Also what looked like a cannon protruding from where his left arm was.
"There will be no killing today Reaper." the Mega Knight said.
Reaper faltered, just for a moment. "Go home rookie, this doesn't concern you!"
"Gabriel Reyes, in the name of the UN, I place you under arrest."
"You can try," Reaper growled. "It's your funeral!"
The Mega Knight raised his cannon and fired a shot at Reaper. However, Reaper simply faded into smoke and changed his position. Reaper pulled out another set of guns and released a volley of shots on the Mega Knight. The Knight was knocked back several feet, but remained unharmed when Reaper had to reload again.
"DIE!" Reaper bellowed, as he began to fire. However, he was knocked back by another force. Lucio had snuck around and had pushed him away with a pulse. This gave the Mega Knight time to fly up and fire another cannon shot at Reaper.
Reaper then reformed himself. "Focus all fire on the Mega Knight!" he barked to his communicator.
The gunmen changed priority, and over 20 machine guns began to fire on the Knight at the same time. The Mega Knight then charged with incredible speed to the outlines of the crowd. He fired one shot at a guard and punched another, throwing both of them several yards back. Another one began shooting the Mega Knight, however, he was quickly taken care of as well.
"Rhet, I like this new suit."
"Told you," Rhet commented on the other end. "Mithril has got nothing on you."
Suddenly, a loud shot whizzed by the Knight's head. He quickly turned to face the building where Widowmaker stood. He flew up to the top of the building, and fired a shot at the sniper. Widowmaker rolled out of the way, her gun converting to a normal size as she went. Bullets didn't even phase the Knight as he ran to confront her. She immediately fired her grapple hook to escape, but the Mega Knight was prepared for this. He activated his sword, and cut the line before she passed him. She fell to the floor, skidding across the hard roof, and eventually slamming against the rim of the building.
Widowmaker tried to get up, but the Mega Knight kicked her back down. "You probably sicken me the most Widowmaker!" he yelled, pointing his cannon at her. She could see the faint glow of a blast preparing to strike. She closed her eyes just as the shot fired. However, she felt no pain when the blast was fired. She opened her eyes again and saw the remains of her now destroyed rifle. She noticed that the cannon was shaking slightly in the Knight's presence.
"I'm not the one to give you justice, and I believe that there is hope for you. There's hope for everyone, even if the world is a hot mess. But let me be very clear." he continued, his visor began to glow. "You will not hurt anyone again, I'll make sure of that."
Widowmaker didn't struggle as he placed his gloved hand on her visor. It only took a second for the visor to be drained of power and code. As soon as he let go, Widowmaker smiled.
"You are different from the others." she said, almost as if it was a strange concept. "I see it in your eyes."
The Mega Knight didn't respond. He took off once again, scanning the area. The disruption he had caused in the guards earlier had left an opening and people were running away from the public square. The guards had adjusted themselves to surround the remaining people.
"Rhet, how many bodies?"
"Looks like 18 left, mostly concentrated on your right or where Lucio is."
"I've opened an exit, but there are still people in danger."
"But, I thought that Lucio was your main target?"
"Rhet, they need me, I will not stand idle while they're in danger." Edward argued.
There was a brief pause, but Rhet finally replied. "I got it, go get them."
The Mega Knight leapt off the building and fired a shot towards a group of armed men. They were blown away, and the Mega Knight began to take out the gunmen. Some yelped as he shot or fought them. There wasn't anything they could do. The last man fell, and the remaining people tried to scurry off.
"KNIGHT!" a voice bellowed. The Mega Knight turned to face Reaper with Lucio. Reaper had managed to trap Lucio in a headlock with a shotgun to his head. "You will pay for your interference!"
The Mega Knight pulled up his cannon. "Let him go Reyes!" he ordered.
"Yeah Reaper, listen to the guy, he's-"
"If I hear so much as a breath from you, you die, understood!" Reaper yelled. He then turned back to the Knight. "What gives you the right to interfere in this fight! It isn't your's!"
"You made it mine when innocent people were put in danger. Come away now, or else!"
Reaper laughed, causing a chill to come over Edward. "That's what bugs me about you two, both of you are just dogs who are ordered around! I call my own shots, and now, my shots are towards his skull!"
The Knight cried out just as Reaper was about to pull the trigger. However, another shot was fired before Reaper could react. The Mega Knight turned to see a familiar robot pointing a gun of some sort at Reaper.
"Well done Orisa!" the little girl called.
"I will protect the innocent." Orisa replied.
Edward smiled from under his suit. "Nice shot." he commented.
They both charged onto the stage, with Lucio joining them there. Reaper glanced at all three of them, then sighed.
"This isn't over, I'll be back." he cursed. He then disappeared and slipped into the shadows.
The other three stood there for a moment, but then relaxed, smiling.
"Hey, Orisa right?"
"Yes," the robot replied. "This girl's name is Efi."
"Pleased to meet you." Efi said.
"I'm pleased to meet you too." Lucio said. "You two make a fine pair, I have a proposition for you, for both of you actually."
"What?" Efi asked.
"What if you were both to come to Overwatch, we could-"
"Lucio?" the Knight interrupted. Lucio then remembered who else was there and why he was there. He turned slowly, trying to keep his cool.
"Yes?"
"No hard feelings right?" the Mega Knight asked. Lucio felt a little bit of relief.
"Sure, we're good, thanks for your-"
The Mega Knight immediately pulled up his cannon pointing it directly at Lucio.
"Woah, woah, hey!" Lucio cried.
"I'm sorry Lucio, but in the name of the UN, I place you under arrest."
"I apologize, but there is no law against defending the innocent." Orisa commented.
"There is a law against Overwatch, and because you are a certified member, then I cannot let you go free."
"That makes no sense!" Efi retorted. "Overwatch helps people, what did they do that's illegal."
"Nothing, yet." the Mega Knight replied.
"That's not fair!" Lucio yelled. "You can't arrest me."
"I have to, you broke the law, and now you must suffer the consequences. However, there is an alternative."
"What?" Lucio asked.
"If you solemnly swear that you are not a part of Overwatch, and you openly state that Overwatch must stand down, then you will receive a full pardon according to Senator Langston."
Lucio paused. He then turned much more serious, it almost seemed, disturbing. "I will not stand down from what I believe in, no matter if you bring the entire army of the entire world against me and ask that same question, my answer will remain the same."
Edward was silent. He remained motionless in the suit. There was a certain power to the words as they left Lucio's mouth.
"Lucio, don't make me do this." Edward pleaded.
"I will not back down, so what happens now?"
The Mega Knight sighed. "We do this the hard way then."
"No!" Efi argued. "We shouldn't fight, that's not what-"
"Nope, he's right, I have to go. However, I have one last request until I go to jail."
"What's that?"
Lucio smiled, tightening his grip on his gun. "I want a party." he replied. "Let's break it DOWN!"
He slammed the gun onto the stage floor, causing green waves to flow against the platform. Not five seconds later, the doors from inside the capitol building, as well as the adjacent buildings, flung open, and several figures poured out.
From what he could recognize, they went as followed: Soldier 76, Tracer, Mcree, Genji, Ana, Pharah, Mei, Torbjorn, D. Va, Reinhardt, Winston, Lucio, Mercy, and Symmetra. They formed a circle around the Mega Knight.
"Cheers love, the cavalry's 'ere!" Tracer called.
"Are you alright Lucio?" Mercy asked. "We heard something earlier, we didn't know if we were supposed to leave."
"Yeah, you guys can hustle, the Knight came by the way."
Meanwhile, the Mega Knight paused. "Rhet, body count."
"You won't like it."
"What is it?"
"15, including Orisa." Rhet replied. "And from what I'm seeing, they're the best from Overwatch."
"Well, I am sanctioned for fighting Overwatch right?"
"Yeah, you're right, go get 'em."
The Mega Knight took off, hovering several yards above the ground, and the Overwatch members looked up. "Well, today's my lucky day isn't it? All the members of Overwatch in the same place wrapped like a gift on Christmas."
"Attack!" Soldier 76 yelled.
The Mega Knight immediately activated the function for his cannon, and a new one that was recently added. A gatling gun appeared on the outside rim of his cannon. He unleashed fire on the team, however, a large suit of armor pulled up a barrier from what looked like out of nowhere, and it defended the whole team.
"We need a better plan than 'attack' Soldier!" Reinhardt said, his shield starting to crack.
"Right, D. Va and Pharah, keep him out of the sky. Torbjorn and Symmetra, place your turrets, slow him down! The rest of us, hit him hard and fast. Move!"
Pharah was the first on airborne, D. Va following after. The Mega Knight knew just how to fight this. He took off further into the air, while both pursued after him. When D. Va fell to the ground, Pharah kept on the Knight's tail. Suddenly, the Mega Knight began to fly in a straight line and Pharah took the opportunity to attack.
"For justice!" she cried. The rocket then slammed into the Mega Knight and an explosion then engulfed the him. Pharah smiled at her victory, but panicked on what ensued. Somehow, the Mega Knight was perfectly fine, and he dashed into Pharah.
"You have no right to declare justice!" the Mega Knight retorted. He then placed his gloved hand on Pharah's wing and took the power from it. He then let her go, which resulted in her plummeting towards the ground. However, the Mega Knight then grabbed her foot and flew down close to the ground, letting her go in a position where she would land safely. Ana immediately went to help her daughter.
"You know better than going by yourself like that!" Ana scolded. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, let me get back in there." Pharah replied. She tried to fly back up, but her rocket pack wouldn't do anything. "What's wrong? I can't fly!"
The Mega Knight dodged a hammer swing from Reinhardt, the Knight shot from his cannon in response, knocking Reinhardt back. Mercy quickly attended him while Soldier, Mcree, and Tracer swooped in to fight. The Knight then activated his sword, and began combat with all three of them in melee. When he swung his sword again, another fighter appeared, blocking his strike.
"You should not be using a sword, Knight." Genji stated. The Mega Knight shoved him away and shot another blast, but Genji casually deflected it back at him.
"Woah!" the Knight yelped, dodging the hostile blast. It soared behind him and smacked into the turret that Torbjorn was building.
"Really?!" he yelled. "I worked hard on that!"
Mei and Winston, and Orisa began to charge then. He was about to fly away, but Winston lept up to meet him, and they collided. The Knight was smacked into the wall, which he quickly got back up from. He readied his cannon, and-
Something appeared out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see a woman typing something into a pad of thin air, smiling. She pressed a final button and the suit became awry.
Warning: Suit coding compromised.
"The suit is down, get him!" the woman yelled.
"Rhet! She did something to the suit!"
"Oh no she didn't!" Rhet replied, typing furiously. "Give me a minute."
"Rhet, I don't have a minute!" Edward retorted, staring uneasily at the regrouping team. Rhet was typing so fast and hard that Edward could hear it from the other end of the communicator chip.
"What did she do to you?" Rhet mumbled. "This hacker has met her match! She's totally my nemesis now."
"Rhet!"
"And, done, you're good!"
The Mega Knight then activated his gatling gun firing it rapidly at the team, but before any damage could be done, a giant suit appeared, projecting something in front of it.
"Sombra!" the suit announced, though the Mega Knight didn't see who the Pilot was. "Hacks are still necessary!"
Sombra looked a little concerned. "That's not possible, I just did it!" she replied. Sombra immediately began to hack again. However, Rhet was working too.
"Edward, get the hacker, if I keep coding onto the code, then it could mess with the rest of your system."
"I'm on it," the Mega Knight said. He fired a shot at Sombra, who managed to dodge the shot. The attention then switched to D. Va, who was now firing at the Mega Knight. He shot another beam at D. Va which threw her and the suit clear back to the team, knocking some of the other members over.
"Sorry!" D. Va muttered. "But I can't get him! He's too OP!"
"Whoever built the suit is a genius." Winston commented. "It seems to be resistant to bullets, explosions, and even my electricity."
Soldier cursed under his breath as the Knight began firing the gatling gun again. "We need to find a way to beat him!"
"My turret is ready finally! Where is Symmetra?" Torbjorn commented. However, almost immediately after, the Mega Knight destroyed the turret with a wave of bullets. "Blast it! Not again!"
The Mega Knight suddenly was confronted by another member who held a strange gun. She shot a beam that seemed to latch onto him like fly paper. He took a few steps back-
But it didn't hurt.
Symmetra's beam intensified, but so did Edward's energy. It was almost like, the beam was helping.
"Symmetra! Stop!" Winston called.
"Why is it not hurting him!" Symmetra called back. Finally, she had to reload, but before she could fire again, the Mega Knight shot her away with a very powerful blast. His visor was glowing very brightly now. He raised his cannon, a burst of energy soaring through him. A blinding light shot forward and slammed into the entire team of Overwatch. All of them were knocked back, thrown into the stage, or knocked into another building.
Edward stopped, falling to his knees trembling. "Rhet, what's happening?" he muttered weakly.
"You just drained all of the energy from your suit. You have to go now, or else-"
"On it," he replied, trying to fly but got a few sputters that jerked his unstable balance even more. Finally, there was just enough to get him off, and he vanished into the night.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team then began to stir. The team was silent, with the exception of Orisa, who looked very concerned.
"Where is Efi?" it asked hurriedly. "Where is Efi?"
Sombra appeared again from around the corner. "Well that went well, didn't it amigos?"
Soldier pulled Lucio up. Lucio looked a little disheartened. "I cannot believe we just got our ankles broken by one guy in a super suit."
"It's not your fault." Mei reassured. "None of us could've expected it."
Symmetra returned back slowly. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have come in like that. I should've quit before it got out of control."
"That's not the important thing here." Winston stated. "We may have lost, but I think I know a little bit more about the Mega Knight. We can use it for next time."
"But how do we beat an overpowered boss?" D. Va asked, now out of her suit.
"I don't know," Winston stated solemnly. "I just don't know."
Wow, that just happened. So guys, I have a bit of a confession to make. So, here's the deal. I am about, say, 30 percent done with this story. I don't know, it could be longer, but here's my proposition. Remember how I said that I needed to prioritize a little bit? I've decided to finish my Fnaf story, since that's not even a full 7 chapters away from being done, and each of those chapters are pretty short, not nearly as long as chapters like this. So, hopefully, I can finish that before the end of April, and then I can focus my full attention on writing this and my Pokemon story, which means more chapters. Are you willing to make that sacrifice?
If not, then I will have to come out with them in some kind of order, because the true enemy of humanity is disorder, and- DANG IT!
Be sure to tell me how I did in the reviews, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Until next time…
