Warning; Can get a bit graphic
Interrogations over, they got very little out of the mercenaries, and Jack and Winston were both tired. Everyone agreed to call it a day and press them tomorrow. Winston went to his personal cabinet and grabbed a bushel of bananas and a peanut butter jar. Jack went to clean his weapons and just contemplate the day. Lucio went to his room and just sat on his bed and listened to music. Hana went to her personal game room to plug in and play her favorite games. Mercy was in her lab going over diagnostics on her next project. Genji was in the large garage meditating. Lena hung off her bed as she read a comic book. McCree took a nap at a dinner table in the mess hall. Mei has drinking hot chocolate as Snowball just joyfully danced around her.
With everyone just relaxing, nobody even concluded the idea to even watch the monitors, not even Athena. If they did, they would have noticed the cell that held the mercenaries was empty, save for Burke's legs hanging out of the ventilation shaft as he climbed in. That wasn't the only problem they had. Outside their secret headquarters, Talon troops began to surround them. Though it was suppose to look like a condemned building, it didn't fool Talon's army at all. Lead by the BLU Heavy and his men, a spy, scout, engineer, pyro, and medic, the Talon troops swarmed the door to the building. The Heavy kicked the door down and ordered his men inside.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" Athena called out into the base. Everyone jumped up and began to grab their weapons, but they were immediately overpowered. Inside the garage where Genji was meditating, smoke grenades filled up the room in a blinding mist. Though Genji was suppose to see through it, he was without his sword and his weapons function was offline. That was when a Talon troop shot him with an electro whip. Genji cried out in pain as bolts of electricity shot through his cyborg body. Troops swarmed Tracer's room and we able to subdue her and drain her Blink before she could teleport. Hana and Lucio were apprehended, but not without a fight. Jack, McCree and Winston tried to fight back, but were also shocked by the electro whips. Mei and Snowball tried to fight back but they we caught up in a security net. The only one who was captured by the BLU team directly was Mercy, who was shot in the arm by a syringe from the medic's gun. She felt woozy as the contents was injected into her, but thanks to the nano tech she used on herself, the toxin didn't affect her for too long, but not fast enough to keep her from getting cuffed by the spy.
All of the Overwatch group were bound and dragged outside. A large battalion of Talon all but engulfed the front of the building, accompanied by familiar faces like Reaper and Widowmaker, who was smirking at them in their pitiful state. The Heavy walked in front of the Overwatch group and announced, "You don't know me, but I know you. We've been keeping an eye on you for a little while and we can honestly say that you guys are a thorn in my client's side. You let some rejects that were a big, big, big problem for us loose. For that, we have to kill you."
Fear struck some of the Overwatch members as the Heavy talked about killing them. He continued on, "But, we'll make it fair. My men are getting those rejects now. We'll kill them first, and then we'll kill you, okay?"
The scout ran out of the building and told the Heavy, "Boss, we can't find them." The Heavy groaned out loud, "Aw shit."
That was when one Talon trooper's head exploded. The rest went on guard, but Mishka stormed out the door with a mini gun in hand. The Overwatch team ducked and the BLU team jumped to the side with Reaper and Widowmaker as Mishka opened fire, his signature roar bellowing from his throat. Though Talon tried to fight back, most of them were cut down by the spray of bullets. Mishka stopped firing as Scott and Sarah charged from behind him, pistols and batons on hand. The fired and bashed at black soldiers without a sight of wearing out their phantom speed.
Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
And before I turn around
He falls to his knees
A clear song rings in the blade
When steel meets hardened steel
I hear the sound of wood that breaks
A swords cuts through my shield
A Talon troop broke from the fight and tried to kill the Overwatch team, but Burke appeared from behind and pulled his head back. That was when he pulled out a bone saw and drove it across the throat of the solider. The last noise he ever made was a gurgling groan as blood oozed from his helmet. Genji, who was lying next to , shuffled next to her so she wouldn't see.
I drop the shield and grab my axe
A weapon in each fist
The first blow makes the helmet crack
The axe cut to the teeth
It was Rick's turn. He casually walked about the battle with a shotgun in each hand and fired. With each shot, he gave them a twirl as he primed them. Mishka rejoined the fight next to him, mini gun ringing out as it sprayed the black clad army. Tom leaped from his perch that he stood at when he shot the soldier and pulled out a SMG. Burke joined them with a pistol in hand.
I rip the axe from the head
Covered in blood and brains
Leave the body lying dead
Ready to strike again
My sword cuts through clothes and skin
Like a hot knife cuts through snow
I smile as the bastard screams
When I twist my sword
Talon began to surround them, but Duncan leaped in front the Talon battalion that stood in front of Overwatch, large knives in both hands. Before they could open fire, Duncan slashed at them, cutting limbs and heads away from the bodies. He drove his blade into the lower jaw of one soldier, driving it through his head. Duncan lifted him up as his body went limp.
"Fall back." The Heavy told Reaper as they watched in horror as their troops were slaughtered. Reaper, however, wasn't going to have it, "We don't cower away!"
"If we don't, we die. Fall back."
The Heavy's tone was indeed urgent, but Reaper wasn't at all worried about the mercenaries, since he was one too. That was until he looked back at his own small army, now slowly being put down by the seven mercenaries. He was astounded that seven fighters put them down in such little time. Maybe it was time to fall back. He turned to Widowmaker, who was also in awe of the fight. They looked at each other for a moment, then followed the Heavy and his team away.
The army was now all but eradicated. In victory, the mercenaries took a stance as they observed the battlefield littered with the countless dead.
Sword in my hand
Axe on my side
Valhall awaits me
Soon I will die
Sword in my hand
Axe on my side
Valhall awaits me
When I die
Bear skin on my back
Wolf jaw on my head
Valhall awaits me
When I'm dead
The seven of them turned back to Overwatch, who we looking at them in fear and disgust. They went over and began to undo their bounds. Though they were free, they were still stunned.
"Well are you gonna sit there all day and gawk or are we gonna get the hell out of here before they come back?" Duncan asked. Snapping out of their shock, Overwatch quickly ran into their base and grabbed their essentials. They then lead the seven mercenaries away into the night.
