A/N: Sorry if I took so long I had other things that needed my attention, and the biggest reason is that I don't have an ending for this fic just yet.

anyway enjoy.

Atlantic Ocean

Arriving at their destination the aircraft carrying its passenger has touched down on the landing pad of the old oil rig, stepping out of the aircraft was a woman with a dark complexion, with long dark hair, wearing her standard Vishkar Co. uniform, and bionic left arm. One of Overwatch's new chosen recruit, Satya Vaswai (A.K.A Symmetra) has arrived to the new Overwatch H.Q, she held up the medallion and looked at her surroundings. Loud sounds of power tools being used to renovate the old oil rig annoyed her seeing sparks from blow torches and the banging of hammers just sets her off, until another aircraft came in for a landing.

Symmetra looked over to another landing pad across from her as the aircraft dropped off an Overwatch agent, stepping out made Symmetra raise a brow seeing how archaic the man dressed himself. An old ragged red poncho was wrapped around his shoulders, along with a cowboy hat, and dusty boots with spurs, Mccree tilted his hat up to have a better look of the woman in front of him. He see how clean and neat she was, and from the look of her expression she had on her face, Mccree can already tell she thinks of him lowly, "but nevertheless he introduced himself.

"Howdy there little lady, names-" "Jesse Mccree," Symmetra beat him to the punch which made Mccree grin, "you know my name?" Mcree asked, "I've heard of you from many newspaper articles, your reputation proceeds you," she explained. Mccree remind cool, "I'm just getting more popular everyday," he replied, the two maintain eye contact, but then a third aircraft came down dropping off another passenger. She too had a dark complexion like Symmetra, but she was more leaner with short dark hair, and aviator shades covering her eyes.

Mccree turns his sights on the new woman finding her familiar, and when the new woman turned to him she looked over shades and gave a sly grin, "Jesse, Jesse Mccree," she stated Mccree's name, "Fareeha? look at you, you're all grown up," Jesse noted, "it's been so long," Fareeha commented back. The two soon got into a friendly discussion which surprised Symmetra watched the two talk as they headed into the facility leaving her by herself, "... so... this Overwatch," she said to herself.

Inside

Symmetra was then guided in to what is the dining hall of the oil rig with many of what she assumes is the agency's members, another veteran of their agency has also arrived one that she most defiantly recognise, Climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou. The last anyone heard from her was that she was lost in a blizzard in Antarctica, but has turned out she "overslept". There were others like the very famous gaming professional, Hana Song, and her friend, and a man sitting at a table with an English woman who seems to take joy out of bugging him. But that's when Three hulking figures entered through the door, a Bastion unit and two Locust one Drone the other a Kantus, the newcomers fell silent at the sight of them, Jesse was about to pull out his gun, but Reinhardt stopped him, "no, it's O.K. Jesse," he said to him.

"What are they doing here?" Mei asked all frighten, "it's alright, they're friends," Winston reassured, "yeah, this Omnic's named Bastion, and these two fellas are Kane and Brakk, and they're joining our crew," Tracer announced and everyone just wasn't sure how to react.

Stuttgart, Germany

In the city the advance metropolis is now remilitarizing from what's going on since the past couple of weeks, the peaceful city hasn't seen this sort of activity since the Omnic Crisis. Tanks and armored vehicles were rolling through the streets, people were packing up and skipping town before the bullets start flying. In a building deep with in the city is where all the military intelligence was being gathered, "as you can see by the recent seismic activity it looks to be gradually growing," one man noted. Looking at the screen a man rose up, "are the monsters are planning an invasion, lieutenant?" he demanded to know. "By what is gathered general we should aspect an invading force, but it turns out that the whole city is sitting on top of land too strong for even our strongest mining equipment to get through, so it's safe to say that the invading force will be emerging from the forest," the lieutenant explained.

"Then I want every gun pointing at that forest, we can not lose this city, do I make myself clear!?" the general ordered and everyone in the room went off as commanded, but not everyone left. The lieutenant that gave the briefing stayed wondering why the Locust was coming, "General sir, I need to speak with you," he called out, "what is it lieutenant?" "general why would the enemy becoming to Stuttgart? we don't have anything they will want... do we?" lieutenant trailed off. "Afraid we do lieuntenant, because in this building we've been developing a new armor to add us in this war," the general explained.

The two came up to a large blast door, the general placed his hand on the scanner that was installed next to the door, the door unlocked itself, and then slid apart to reveal the secret project inside. Closing the door back up the general then met up with two Crusaders, "general, present and ready to defend," one reported sounding older, "it's an honor having the Crusaders back on our side," the gerenal commented, "oh, it is an honor to back fighting along side my brothers and sisters, for the glory of Germany," the patriotic man said.

As the two shook hands the general noticed that the other looked antsy, "and who is this?" he asked, seeing that attention was turning to him the Crusader introduced with a surprising youthful voice, "uh! I'm Lucas, general sir," the young man spoke. This surprised the general not expecting a young man in a Crusader suit, "general this my son, Lucas, he's been training by my side since he nine," the old Crusader noted. The general looked over to Lucas seeing a familiar expression on his face, "I can see that this is your first battle, isn't soldier?" the general asked. Lucas tried to keep a straight face, but manages to nod his head, "your assignment is easy, protect this facility, is your team ready?" the general demanded, "we've been ready for years," said two more Crusaders coming, "good," the general said.

Later

Out in the city limits of Stuttgart German troops were digging up trenches, setting up barb wire, and putting guns emplacements, hard at work the troops were about ready to take their positions, but then the sound of a tree falling. The troops looked out to the forest and saw the trees falling, "TO YOUR STATIONS! THE ENEMY IS UPON US MEN!" one man shouted at the top of his lungs. Every man got their guns and aimed out to the forest, but the Locust wasn't in their sights yet, they can hear the commotion going on behind the line of trees. They heard deep low snarls and growls going about the whole forest and sounds echoing footsteps and then a giant corpser burst out in the open throwing up the outer line of the trees.

War cries could be heard all from the city and a wall of rushing Locust soldiers came racing down the hills, "FIIIIIRE!" one commanding officer ordered and every man fired their weapons. Volleys of bullets and artillery rounds were being unleashed upon the enemy, the rifles cracked with the sound of bullets leaving their barrels, the hulking heavy bodies of Locust grunts dropping dead. The rattling of machine gun emplacement, the barrels glowing red as heat built up from nonstop rapid fire.

Jets roared across the sky from their point of view the Horde looked like a swarm of pissed off red ants, the trap door under their plane opens up and drops the first bomb onto the enemy. When the bomb went off the blast sent several of the beast up flying into the air, "coming around for another run," the pilot informed, but before he can turn back a missile shot the pilot out of the sky. Screeching across the sky the Reavers provided the air support their ground troops needed, "engaging enemy air!" one pilot exclaimed and the two air forces met with each other. With the German air force distracted with the Reavers Brumaks emerge from the forest and started providing better fire power.

"Look at the size of those things!" one privet pointed shocked to see the walking behemoth, "focus on your job an-," *KRAK!* a shot rang out as a bullet blew the man's head clean off his shoulders accidentally poking his head out in the oncoming round's way. In another area one machine gun crew was a making a hill out dead Locust corpses as the grunts had to slid down a small hill where the gun was hiding behind. Empty shells littered the floor of the makeshift bunker the crew was in as they flew out of the gun as the oblivious grunts keep throwing themselves into the gun's path. However making their position made clear two Locust grunts escorting a Flame Grenadier were given orders to take out the gun and its crew.

Going around the hill the small squad of three found an opening in the trenches, the barb wire barely making mark on their thick hides, the Drones lead the way until coming up to the spot the gun was placed. The crew were unaware and so the Drones let the Flamer through, by the time one of the crew noticed the enemy was right behind them it was too late they were all set ablaze. The crew cried out in agonizing pain as they were all being cooked alive their screams sounded like they went on forever, but after the gun was out the three Locust set charges blowing the trench wide open.

Up somewhere safe where the whole battle can be seen the general watched the battle carefully unfold, "send out our armored unites towards the breach immediately," he ordered looking out with a pair of binoculars. As the order was being carried out the general called out to the building holding new armor, "how is everything?" he asked over the coms, "we're still have half of the data to upload general," the person on the other end answered, "tried to get much as you can and destroy every thing when you're done, they can not fall into the enemies' hands," he told them, "yes sir."

Elsewhere

As the city was sitting on top of tough grounds the German forces were left naive to think they were protected, but there was a chink in the armor they stand on as there was an opening for one small Corpser to get through. Popping out into an alleyway the Corpser was starring across at the key building the general was defending, going back down one squad climbed out ready to siege the building.

Inside personal was running about paper was scattered all over the floor as workers had to destroy everything before the enemy breaks through, "hustle! hustle! we don't have long til those monster coming knocking down the door," Lucas' father cried out. But as the whole place was busy the wall blew apart, chunks of the wall flew everywhere two of the workers got blown apart by the blast, and as everyone was coughing the Locust came shooting. The squad of Locust was mowing down the workers they see, but Lucas' father deployed his shield, the bullets hit the shield blocking the monster's attack as everyone ran to safety, but then one of the grunts pulled out a Boomshot, and at that moment Lucas came in, "father! we'r-," "GET BACK!" his father yelled. "BOOM!" the grunt shouted before firing, the two ducked into the next hall narrowly dodging the blast

Back with the general he heard a explosion that didn't came from the front instead it came from behind, he turned around seeing smoke rising up to the air, "shit! send in a transport the enemy is behind our lines!" the general ordered.

In the facility smoke filled the hall, but th father and son still needed to get the armor out of the city, "the enemy is in the facility, you need to get armor out of here," Lucas father said over the coms, "father, look out!" Lucas exclaimed. Coming from behind Lucas's father swung his hammer back and the grunt crushed under the weight of his hammer, "we need to go," his father said and soon the more of the grunts came in.

Elsewhere in the building the others looking out as the workers loaded the armor into a hovering create, "c'mon let them come, I always dreamed of this day," one of them said gripping her hammer tighter, "you know the objective, secure the armor," another reminded her. Then another explosion went off shaking the whole building then the Locust squad came, they roared and fired their weapons at the humans. The the second Crusaders brought up his shield and the first Fire Strikes them, two of the Locust were cut down, but the others kept going without flinching.

While the second was still holding up his shield the first got overly excited igniting her rocket to charge at them, she manages to crash one into the wall, but that one was still putting up a fight, so she had to throw him away. She tosses the grunt into his friends sending them both to the floor before she crushed them with her hammer then out of nowhere an explosion went off behind her, sending her to the ground. The grunt with a Boomshot has taken a shot at her and has just finished reloading, but to the Crusader's rescue the second one has sent a Fire Strike of his own, "you always have to be reckless, do you?" the second Crusader commented helping his friend up, "that's why I have you for," she quipped.

Just arriving Lucas and his father came to see that their friends are alright, "how's everything?" the leader asked, "hallway secured, captain," the two respond as their create was being escorted, "good we should-," *BOOM!*. Something big broke through the walls and when the dust cleared the Crusaders saw a Mauler, except this one wasn't fat like the others. It was completely muscular with his horned helmet having a visor concealing his face and with his shield and flail in hand this Mauler also had a sword attached to his belt. He hissed right at the Crusaders whining up his flail his steps boomed as he approached, "we got this one," the female Crusader said rocketing towards the Mauler.

She struck her shoulder right into the Mauler, but in a stunning turn of events the Mauler stopped her so far he was only pushed back a few inches, shocked, she looked up to what she can only see is an blank slate covering his face that towered over her. Giving a quick hiss the Mauler grabbed the ball in his palm and started slamming it in her face, the second Crusader ran in swinging his hammer right into the side of the Mauler, he manages to knock him off his friend, but his swing only knocked him back as he swiped back at him with his flail. The Crusader ducked, but even when the Mauler missed the ball just blew apart anything it made contacted with when it was swung.

Lucas saw that others needed his help so he stepped forward, but was grabbed by his shoulder by his father, "no, we need to protect the objective," his father told him. Lucas glanced back over with the second Crusader trying to avoid the ball and the first still laying on the ground, "go, Lucas! I'll be fine," he shouted before ducking another blow. Lucas reluctantly did what needed to be done and he and his father went off taking the armor with them, seeing them leave the Crusader turned back to the Mauler, "come here so I can smash your skull," he threaten swinging his hammer.

The Mauler blocked it with his shield parrying the blow and then swung his flail, the Crusader ducked again this time using the other end of his hammer to jab at him in the helmet and then followed it by bashing his hammer to the Mauler's side. However the Mauler powered through the blow punching the Crusader in the face giving him a nasty left hook across. The Crusader was punched so hard that he spun around leaving his back open and the Mauler bashed his shield into him, standing over the Crusader the Mauler holds his shield with both hands with one of the moveable plates ejecting out.

The Crusader looked over to see his friend still laying there and that's when he saw a small puddle of blood escaping from the helmet, she was dead, and before he can call out her name the Mauler buried the plate of the shield into his back.

Outside

A truck came around with the workers loading it onto the back, "hurry, their army will be breaking our lines any moment," Lucas' father shouted and that's when a rocket flew across the sky crashing into the top floor of a building. Looking over their shoulders everyone saw in the street a few city blocks away that a German tank was going back firing at the advancing enemy as a Brumak chased after it. "Captain! captain!" the general called over on the coms, "yes general," he answered, "the enemy made it through, are you out of the city?" "leaving now," he responded then her turned to his son, "Lucas get on," he ordered. Lucas did what his father said, but when he about to jump on he was shot in the back, his father looked on with shock seeing his son crumble to the ground.

Lucas was still alive, but he was in immense pain, "Lucas!" his father cried picking son off the ground, he then looks over where the bullet came and saw at the exit that the Mauler was holding a Hammerburst (Assault Rifle) with one hand. He then continued firing trying to stop them Lucas' father deployed his shield protecting his wounded son, and the Mauler ran out of bullets Lucas' dad pulled his son towards the back of the truck and with create tied down he tossed his son in, but saw that there was no more room, "... father... let's go," Lucas weakly said to him holding out his hand to pull his father in. The truck would not carry all of them so tapped on the side hard, "GO!" he shouted, and the trucked rolled forward to the young man's surprise when he saw that his father wasn't coming.

"Father?" he said confused, "go! protect the cargo!" he shouted one last time, "no, FATHER!" Lucas cried out begging the driver to drive back around, but his continued shrinking in the distance. When the truck disappeared the Crusader turned back to the Mauler right when he threw away the gun away and pulled out his flail and shield, "you shot my son while his back was turned like a coward, you have no honor!" he stared sound angry in his tone. The Mauler roared lunging forward swing his flail, The Crusader stepped back and stepped back a second time when the flail came back around. When the flail came back or a third time he let wrap around his hammer and then yanked it.

The Mauler was yanked forth and was then punched in the face sending stumbling and the Crusader continued by slamming his hammer into him, and then tried to charge at him firing his thrusters. He collided his shoulder into the Mauler having more luck as the Mauler was dazed sending crashing to the wall of the facility, but when the charge stop the Mauler immediately recovered grabbing the Crusader and head butting him. the Crusader staggers back, the Mauler then sucker punched him in the face with his shield knock his helmet off, the Mauler then kicked him right down onto the ground.

In a daze the Crusade's sight was in a blur, but he can tell he was staring at the sky as Reavers clinged onto the side of buildings, struggling to get back up the Crusader kicked in the face as knocking him out cold. Seeing the man out could the Mauler looked off into the direction the truck went off giving off a low growl.

Outer City Limits

The truck carrying both Lucas and the precious cargo was barreling down the road Lucas was still wasn't feeling good, made sure to carry out his father's mission, but he started to notice something far off in the distance. He focused on it the best he could and that's when he noticed that they were old trucks chasing after them with the Locust behind the wheel. Lucas banged against the cab of the truck, "go faster!" he cried out, the driver looked into his side-view mirror seeing the Locust coming after them before the shot the mirror off. The driver floored it, but the truck was carrying too much weight, "I can't go any faster," the driver yelled out.

Seeing that the Locust were gaining Lucas had an idea, he tried his best to get back up first tearing off the roof of the back, he grabbed hold of the back tightly, and activated his thrusters giving the truck a needed boost. Now rocketing down the road the Locust were unable to catch them on the truck, but the truck was no longer on safe soil as giant Corpsers bursts from the earth. The driver did the best he could to avoid them, but it was forced off the road, and then on bad timing a Corpser emerged right under them sending high into the air, and the truck crashed right into the ground and both the create and Lucas flew out of the truck. Lucas forced himself up, looking back to the truck Lucas saw that front was completely smashed in the truck totaled and the driver dead on impacted.

But there was no time to linger Lucas can't make it far so he needed to hide, he looked around and saw that the forest wasn't far, just in reach, he activated the create to hover and he pushed it towards the forest as he used his hammer as a cane. However a Spotter saw him going into the forest, he pointed towards the direction and his commander gave put a hiss, the Mauler was closing in on Lucas.

To Be Continued

A/N: I've watched the short where it showed a flash back when Reinhardt was young, finally seeing other Crusaders other than him, and also play a lot of For Honor which there is a warrior which is a knight with a flail and shield. When playing him it also reminded me of the Maulers in Gears of War which is a type of Boom with a flail and shield, so why not combine the two.

Again sorry for the long wait, I had other fanfictions that need writing.
