Chapter 10 Hell on Earth Part 3 Time of Tragedy

Volskaya Industries 2 PM

Abel teleported only half way to his destination, he could feel another coughing fit coming, making a 37 ft long torpedo and teleporting around with another was taking it's toll on his body, he could feel the veins on his arms stretching out. He set Amèlie down gently on the snow and coughed, coughed hard, covering his coughs with his hands. By the time it passed his hands where wet with red arterial fluid, he knew if he kept it up he would injure himself, or worse, blow his heart up. Never the less, the battle was won, he wouldn't need to force himself. Right?

The mercenaries were surrounded at this point, being sandwiched between both assault groups. Lena could see them from above, she could also see a certain boy coughing red onto the white snowy street, and besides him an unconscious Widowmaker. She didn't like this, if Amèlie was here, trouble wasn't far. And she damned herself for thinking that.

Everyone could hear transport and assault ships fly in, all with Talon's crest painted on them. There where hundreds of them, Winston watched as Lena, Pharah, Hana and the Russians began to fight in the skies. However he saw only two figures falling down, looking closer his eyes widened as he picked up his communicator "Everyone on high alert... Reaper and Sombra are here.." was all he uttered as the fight picked up again, this time however, the mercs had aerial support.

Volskaya Industries - Assembly Line 3 PM

Gabriel and Sombra landed in what was left of the assembly line for the giant mechs. Reaper could hear the conflict in the distance "We need some back up... Do your work... I'll get our strays..." he uttered in a cold tone to Sombra, pulling out his Hellfire Shotguns. Sombra nodded and started hacking one of the big guys, she could tell today was gonna be fun. Reaper turned into his wraith form and floated into the battlefield, unaware to both of them that 3 people saw them, two junkers and a sniper.

Junkrat hurried and tapped his communicator, still setting up his explosives "Oi mates, we got a problem back here! Some Mexican Sheila is tryin to hack one of the big buckets of bolts! Need more nades!" Roadhog picked Junkrat up and threw him ontop of the mech's head, letting him prepare his explosives. Roadhog jumped down and landed infront of Sombra, both staring at each other, ready to scrap.

-Insert Song: American Idiot by Green Day-

Junkrat frantically started connecting his makeshift mines with satchel charges, carefully making sure he didn't set one off. Roadhog and sombra where both in a shoot down, Sombra jumping around while Roadhog did all in his power to keep her away from the mech, pushing her back with his scrap gun. "Oye puerco, let me finish my stupid job, i promise i will make sure you die fast!" Sombra promised as she shot Roadhog's back, hitting something he valued dearly.

Roadhog saw the stuffing of his Pachimari plush fly past him along with his own blood. Sombra stopped and saw this titanic man growl and throw his scrap gun down. "MY PACHIMARI!" he roared and somehow managed to hook Sombra and pull her into a beat down. Brass knuckles, heavy chains and bare fists all around Sombra's small frame, he didn't let up, even using some rubble on her.

Roadhog hooked her again and spun around, fast, actually lifting dirt and dust off the ground and stopped when sombra slamed face first into the mech. "OI Roadie! Bombs set! Run like bloody hell mate!" Junkrat yelled at his partner as he lit the fuse and both ran out thr assembly line, Sombra groaned and limped away after hearing "Bomb".

-Song Ends-

-Insert Reaper'sTheme: Jack II from Shadowman 64-

Outside Reaper was shooting down anyone who got in his way, be it mercenary or Russian. He stopped when everything fell silent, he popped his neck "How long has it been my Desert Flower..?" he asked Ana as she had her riffle aimed at him, point blank. "Long enough for you to never call me that again Gabriel..." she shot back with a toxic tone. Reaper "Tsk'ed" at her and turned to look at her. At this point Abel left Amèlie with Winston and rushed back when he got briefed about Reaper's presence.

"Come on my Desert Flower..." Reaper said as he took a step to Ana ".. Don't you remember all the... Fun... We had... I still remeber when we did it in the monkey's office." he reminisced to a now blushing Ana. "I am not that woman anymore Gabriel... Its because of you that..." she stopped and Reaper started chuckling and answered " I know... And it's kinda funny... Fareeha Amari... The bastard daughter of Gabriel Reyes... She would lose all respect that she has earned... She would be lucky if she is even allowed to work at a brothe..." he stopped when Ana shot him in the leg.

Gabriel groaned but stood tall and kept his laughter under control " i will make you a deal Ana... AB-31... Or your Fareeha..." he stated and waited. Ana replied "How about your death.." Abel arrived, holding two Model 1900 sawed off double barrel shotguns. Gabriel looked down "I thought you where smart Ana..." he stated as Ana fiered again, but he faded away, appeared behind her and said "Forgive me my Desert Flower.." and shot Ana twice in the back, in front of Abel.

Abel watched as Ana slowly fell to the ground, blood slowly painting the snow red. Reaper could see the boy was beyond shocked, and even further beyond boiling angry. Abel teleported towards Reaper, and Reaper towards Abel, both appearing, shotguns connected muzzle to muzzle, then both fired. Their shotguns blew up in both combatants hands, Gabriel groaned and thought "Should have dodged".

-Insert Song: What are You Waiting For by Disturbed-

Gabriel pulled out an extra set if shotguns and watched Abel make 2 more right before his eyes, he could also see Abel's face turning slightly red. Abel could see Gabriel having a have time with his leg wound and pop his neck again. Both aimed and fired at eachother, both men dodging into cover and taking pot shots. This lasted for a good 10 minutes for Abel, he ran out of buck shot and was on his last pair of slugs. Abel could tell Gabriel was also running short on Ammo, seeing how he was starting to be more trigger shy. Abel teleported one more time up to Gabriel both men had a shotgun to each others chest, Abel rushed and fired, just to see his slugs go through a smoke cloud know as Gabriel's wraith mode.

Abel ducked out of Gabriel's next shot, both men out of ammo now. Gabriel grabbed Abel by he neck and headbutted him. Abel felt dizzy for a moment until he met Gabriel's fist coming full force to his face. Gabriel teleported behind Abel and threw him some massive damage dealing blows to the back, ribs and arms. Abel was certain he couldn't take him on here, he needed to get Ana and teleport away. Before he could even move however, he heard the sound of a gun being reloaded, Gabriel smirked "Time to sleep kid.."

And Abel was now in the middle of Reaper's trade mark "Death Blossom" taking everything that Gabriel was throwing at him, sadly he wasn't holding on as well as he expected. Gabriel made sure to keep him from getting out of the blossom. Up above Lena was getting rid of Talon jets and saw the death blossom, she could feel the cold sweat running down her forehead when she saw the poor soul inside it "Christ... Hana! Abel needs assistance!" Lena yelled, but could see Hana was too occupied with 2 jets flying after her. "Winston! Send someone to help Abel!" she tried but couldn't get the message through "Bloody hell!" Lena swore but felt a sharp pain in her chest, the blossom had ended.

Gabriel watched as Abel stood on his knees, blood splattered all over his body and panting hard. He smirked and looked down at AB-31 and stated "You are a Failure AB-31... You arrived too late to save Ana... You will not die today... But i will promise you one thing... You will die... After i kill your friends first... " Sombra arrived and saw the bloodiest mess she had ever seen, but a small screen popped up and was warning her of an "unstable power surge" in Abel's direction "Oye! Gabriel! Back up! He's about to-!" Sombra yelled in vain, Reaper was the first to feel it, Abel's untamed rage.

It first was just a small push of force, then the ground started shaking, everyone in the battlefield could feel it, then a single punch into Gabriel's face. Gabriel was sent skidding back and into the battlefield, everyone stopped and watched.

-Insert Theme: Dark by Breaking Benjamin-

Everyone, from Gabriel, Sombra, the Mercs, Russians and Overwatch watched. Abel was standing in a small squat, both legs bent and one hand on the ground. The snow around him was evaporating into steam, and he had a red glow surrounding him. Winston saw him and could feel a dangerous force, something beyond powerful, he fixed his glasses "..He is letting go.." Angela heard Winston and asked "Of what..?" Winston tapped his communicator "Everyone get as far as POSSIBLE from the battlefield, Now! Athena give me a scan of Abel now..." Winston waits and answered "Of everything."

-Insert Abel's Theme: Failure by Breaking Benjamin-

Abel on the other hand wasn't gonna waste time, he lunged forward, disappearing for a second and appearing in front of Gabriel, giving him a Drop kick that shattered the stone floor under them. Gabriel pulled out his shotgun while in the dust cloud and fired the entirety of the shotgun's energy at Abel's chest, pushing him back a few feet. "What the hell just happened Sombra... He was finished awhile ago!" Reaper yelled at his communicator, Sombra replied "Subject 31 shouldn't be capable of feeling rage, this is beyond anything I'm prepared for, suggestions? Die or Kill." Sombra stated and lost comms with Gabriel as both men lunged at each other and clashed fists, the shock wave pushed back all the snow in a 20 meter radius.

In the meantime everyone else was evacuating, Mercs actually running with the Russians and letting themselves get arrested. Pharah and her team watched as the Talon ships halted, all the attention was on the bright red and black collision down on the ground "What is that?" Pharah asked as her visor was detecting an unstable amount of energy being released. "That's Abel..." Lena answered and Hana stopped and looked, they could see a red spark clashing with a black ball of smoke.

Down in the fight, Gabriel was starting to feel a strain he hasn't felt in years. He was pushing his own physical limitations just to keep up with Abel. Abel was growling audibly at him, his eyes where completely white, his clothes was torn up, revealing his arms and back, both of witch looked like they where ready to snap, the muscles looked like they where gonna rip and fall off, and in some areas, his skin was peeling off, mainly the cheeks, upper back and fore arms. Gabriel thought "He is mad... His own body can't take much more before he starts inflicting damage to himself... And by that point i would be dead... Unless i try one more.." Gabriel nodded at himself and teleported up to Abel, Abel growled and both did a "Death Blossom"

When both collided, only a large and some what beautiful spark pr red and black was visible. But it was a dangerous beauty, the buildings around started crumbling, ground was going through Liquefaction and the air was becoming too hot for normal attire to handle. Besides this, Abel was somehow still alive, all punches and kicks inside the "Suicide blossom" as dubbed by Angela after seeing the carnage, connected with their enemy's. After a solid minute did this end, both men still standing, Gabriel only had enough to teleport once more, and that would be it, Abel on the other hand was still in his frenzy "You have proven to be a problematic child AB-31... I am sorry to say that i will have to postpone our fight.." Gabriel stated and began to teleport, however Abel appeared in front of him and delivered one last punch to Gabriel's face as he vanished. Abel was now alone in the destroyed ruins of what was once Volskaya Industries.

-Song Ends-

Abel growled and looked around for Gabriel, like some kind of animal looking for it's prey. Then he remembered Ana, he teleported in an out of the ruins, thankfully Ana didn't get crushed, but she was barely breathing, Abel held her close and cradled her in his arms as the team arrived. Winston walked up to the young man first, he could hear him sobbing "Abel... We can heal her... Just let us..." as Winston tried to reach for Ana. Abel headbutted the gorilla, keeping an almost primal and protective hold on her. Winston shook the dizziness off and watched as the whole team was ready to put him down.

Angela stopped them by walking up to Abel, staff in hand and prepared for the worst "Do you want her to live..?" She asked, Abel nodded. "Then let me help... Please.." she placed a hand on his cheek, his skin was scalding hot, but she resisted. Abel could see the pain in her eyes and slowly backed away, letting Angela take Ana.

But now he was feeling it, the lack of air being pumped, his muscles sore, his head banging, his lack of blood. Abel could feel all these things pull him down, he fell to the ground and started vomiting the vital red fluid, Angela rushed both to the medical station she set up, then thought better of it, they needed a proper hospital.

"Lena we need a pick up! We got 2 injured and in critical conditions!" was all she ordered to Lena, she didn't question it, she just landed and everyone hurried. They won the day, but lost so much.

Unaware to them that there was one unknown transport ship following them, and that watched the whole incident.

Mission: Failed

And the last chapter for the short ¨Hell on Earth¨ saga has ended, introduced Abel's main theme, from now and forever, and as the name implies, it is time for tragedy. Been Getting questions this time around, so Let's get right to them shall we?

Will Abel's arsenal evolve to WW2 weapons?

Honestly, kinda always been a huge WW1 buff, i mean, in ww2 is when guns started becoming kinda samey. Meanwhile in ww1 there was a lot of experimental Guns and vehicles. But i may include something in the future to satisfy that need.

Will Abel ever need to fight hand to hand?

-Pointing at this chapter-

Will Abel get in touch with the clones?

Saving that for a special occasion. It will happen, but i'm still in the development cycle for the next 3 chapters. Will provide more info next Update.

Will Sombra get in contact with Abel?

Coming next chapter, as well as Mercy's time to shine, and a possible cat fight.

Now one question i got that was sent via Gmail goes as follows: What about Emily? will she make an appearance?

I don't know, honest truth.

Also Expect a BIG change next chapter.

Tomorrow i got the day off, so i would like to get some feedback, also some opinions on who the character progression is going. Like always, i'm still in the trenches, and hope you enjoyed.
