Part 10: Bad Beginnings

The big Mr. Mors grabbed Sombra, trying to take the material on her back. Amelie watched her friend getting hurt and told him to stop. However, Lily and Cain stopped her for interrupting.

"In my world, they called it the Wanderer's Amulet." Mr. Mors told Sombra a story as he slowly pulls out the slither on her translocator attached on her spine. The device was interrupted and caused a malfunction as Mors pierced through its core. The hacker screamed in pain like the device is part of her. "Some people call it magic. Some people like you called it complicated science. But this is different."

As he plucked the purple slither on Sombra, his gauntlet then absorbed it and placed on one of the pods.

The woman finally calmed as the pain was gone. She tried to process what happened. The big guy took her personal teleporter and attached it on his gauntlet. "What are you going to with it? Go anywhere and rob banks? Terrorizes cities at the same time?"

"No." Mr. Mors said. "I have something in mind." He then grabbed her neck and lift her up in the air. "But I won't be needing you now."

"Stop!" Amelie pleaded. "Please!"

Lily turned to the former assassin and felt her pain. She then made a suggestion. "Don't kill her, boss." She said without any hesitation.

Mr. Mors was curious of her words. "Why?"

"She can be useful in your quest. She said to herself that she's the best hacker in the world. Probably the entire multiverse. Let's see what she can do."

Cain can tell it's a bad idea. "Kill her now, Mr. Mors. She cannot be trusted. She has no loyalties to anyone only herself."

Lily added. "Not only that, she can be a good companion... for you." Strangely, she said. "You already know I need some rest too, boss."

Cain doesn't like the idea especially Amelie.

However, they saw Mr. Mors' expression. He grinned. "Fine." He let Sombra go but pushed her back to his minions. "Make sure she stays comfortable."

"How about the other one?" Cain pointed at Widowmaker.

Mr. Mors did not respond. He went to the pilot seat and tapped in his next coordinates. "The heart is close by. I want it next."

William and Reaper walked on the ruins of the Talon base. The facility was complete gone. No corpses behind or ships to use. The masked mercenary said, "We're stuck here."

"Not entirely true." William looked up to the sky. "I can go up there."

"Oh, right. With your new powers, you can basically go anywhere. How convenient."

The young man proposed a deal to Reaper. "Help me find the power in the facility and I can give you a free ride home."

The mercenary was skeptical about that deal. "Right... you are going to help the person who kidnapped you and tried to brainwash you."

"I'm over it."

"Not that easily."

"Fine." William raised his hand and spread his palm on to Reaper's head. "Be gone then."

Quickly, Reaper take back what he said. "Alright! I'll help you!"

The young man put his hand down. "Thank you."

"But promise me that you take me back to the mainland."

"I promise."

Giving no choice, Reaper was forced to help the glowing man. "Okay. What kind of power do you want?"

"Talon has a ton of Uranium in their base for war, am I right?"

Reaper admitted. "Yes. We kept it somewhere... safe."

"Can you show me where?"

"Well, not here. The Uranium here is completely wiped out."

"I know. I absorbed it." William said with a smirk.

Reaper can't tell if the young man was just bragging about his new abilities. "Okay? Good to know. If you want more Uranium, you have to go one of our facilities. They were kept safe but it is under a populated area."

"Where?"

"Rialto."

Then William wondered about the deal they make. "Sorry then." The young man launched himself to the sky ditching the masked mercenary in the dead island.

Reaper grunted. "Bastard."

"We need to get out of here." Amelie said.

"Sure. But I need my translocator back." Sombra scratched her back. "Damn it. My back hurts."

"Is it really attached to your spine?"

"Yeah."

Amelie asked a big question. "Can you remove it?"

Sombra answered. "Yes." She explained. "It hurts because the device was still attached on my spine when he took it."

"Okay. If you can remove it, can we just use it for something else."

"Like what?"

Amelie kept her voice down. "You're a tech genius, right? Can you turn it into something else?"

Sombra then figure out what she meant. "Good idea. But the thing is we need this to get out of here."

"One thing, it's your personal teleporter. I cannot come with you. Second, we need to find a way out without the teleporter." Amelie said, formulated her own escape plan. "We are going to escape old style."

The hacker was impressed by the old Amelie. "Wow. I never thought you're like this."

"Well, Gerard told me some interesting stories. They might help us right now."

Minutes later, Lily heard a commotion inside the cell. She took a peek and then saw Widowmaker doing her dance as a ballet dancer. "What are you doing?" Then she saw Sombra doing the dance as well but a very different one. "Stop what you are doing!"

"Come in and stop us." Sombra taunted, kept on dancing.

As he was cleaning the barrel of his pistol, Cain noticed Lily talking through the prisoners. "Lily, stay away from them."

"They are dancing! It's like they don't care."

"Leave them be."

"They are taunting us, Cain! I don't like it!"

Cain sighed. He knew that Lily has a multiple personality disorder and one of them is gets easily irritated. "Just sit back and let me take care of it."

However, Lily did not listen. "I'm going to make them stop." She then unwittingly opened the cell door and charged in like a feral creature.

As the cell door was open and Lily charging towards them, Sombra swiftly grabbed Lily and tackled her down. Amelie went to the door and encountered the shocked Cain. The former assassin launched herself to the man and pushed him to the wall and bashed his head on it. "Okay. I hope you're knocked out with that."

Unfortunately, Cain was still conscious and angry. "Not strong enough." He grabbed her neck and started choking her.

Seeing her teammate getting strangled, she quickly snapped Lily's neck and went to rescue Amelie. She easily tackled him down. As the two prisoners took down their captors, Mr. Mors came in as he heard the commotion outside. He glared at Sombra and Amelie.

In a quick second, Amelie saw the grenade case beside the big guy. She quickly grabbed Cain's pistol and shot it blowing up the side of the ship. The one armed man was sucked out from the ship first and then the rest of the people inside. Sombra yelled at Amelie as they were falling. "WAS THIS YOUR PLAN?"

"No. I didn't think this through!"

Then all of a sudden, a burst of purple energy appeared right below them as they descent. In a second, they landed on a sandy beach of Malibu. The two Talon agents were confused how they got there. As they looked around, they found the big guy used the modified Doomfist gauntlet with Sombra's translocator tech. "Try that again and I'll break your necks."

The Talon agents did not expect the power that Mr. Mors wield.

Amelie asked, "Did you build that translocator tech?"

"No. I got it from an American man named Conagher. That's all."

"And you didn't know how it works."

"I know how it works. I didn't know the origin of its power source, okay?" Sombra said.

Mr. Mors then answered to them. "This power source cannot be found in history books or any records. But I tell you. Its origin is a bit complicated." He then used the purple energy to summon his two subordinates who looked well and alive.

Sombra was surprised to see the girl Lily alive. "Uh... how are you still alive?" She remembered she snapped her neck.

Lily smiled. "I'm an owl."

Cain grunted and made a suggestion to his boss. "Mr. Mors, we can dispose of them now. We don't need them."

"But I still need them."

"For what, sir?"

Mr. Mors simply answer. "I want them to send a message." He took another glance at the two women. "It is time to send one now." He approached the two Talons and grabbed Amelie's neck. The hacker tried to stop him but failed. Using the might of the purple gem, Widowmaker felt her body and soul being stretched as the purple energy blasted her up to the sky.

"What did you do?" Sombra yelled at the large man.

"I want them to know that I'm coming. They better prepare themselves." Mr. Mors then felt the red power moving to another location. "The heart is on the move. We must intercept its path." Then he pointed at Sombra. "You're coming with us as well."
