In town within Sweden, several people were walking around, each one either having a piece of unique tech with them, or on them. As some were coming out of a shop, titled 'Screws & Fixes'. It seemed to be a place where people can gain something or earn back a limb from either an accident, or now, an attack by Roidmudes.
Ever since the day the Roidmudes made themselves known, the whole world was trying to find out how they were even around and nobody noticed. Not to mention how strong they are alone especially their leader, Paradox. Their army already took over 5 countries and everyone is already concerned and wondering just what the UN can do due to the loss that was still progresses.
Inside the shop, one person was currently doing some fixing on something. He was very short, as some would consider him well… a dwarf. He had blonde hair, and a great big bushy beard. Along with an eyepatch. What made him strange was the fact that his left arm, was completely mechanical. And not just some metal limb, no. It was a device, than a mechanical limb. It was curved, and molded a bit more differently than that. And on his back was a large backpack, that spewed flames.
This man was working on a new limb for a young boy who lost his leg in a collision with a Roidmude. And since they've been hurting more, this engineer was doing his best to help out those who were in need from this attack.
"There you go, son. A new limb, courtesy of Torbjorn!" The male, known as 'Torbjorn' smiled as he attached the leg to the young boy. "Now, oil it every day and make sure to stay out of saltwater. Other than that, you're ready to go."
The boy nodded as he slowly stood up albeit adjusting to the new limb at first before his parents helped him walk. As he was about to go back on a project, he heard a commotion outside, making him curious. Leaving the shop, he walks out to see a whole bunch of people gathered as they watch a holoscreen.
'Breaking news as this hour. For what everyone thought to be an end for a country, Cuba was finally liberated from the Roidmudes.' The news reporter announced. 'And to everyone's surprise…. The ones who helped, were not only the remaining survivors… But Overwatch as well.'
Several people were surprised to hear this. Not only relief knowing there were some people who survived, but the group Overwatch too? Murmurs and whispers laid the area, unsure how Overwatch is doing this spite the laws that the World Government have made, this would now paint a target on these new members for breaking the law.
'Rumors of the Liberation is that the one called Mach and the 'Shinigami' have been seemed during the fight as well. This may the start for the world's freedom from the Roidmude tyrant and ending their genocide.' It showed images of the one called 'Mach' and the 'Shinigami' who assisted on the fight against the Roidmudes.
"Amazing!"
"They're both so strong…"
"Woah! That white and red guy is so fast!"
More and more awes of wonder as well as looks of hope began to resurface over this new team. As some were able to see old members of Overwatch fight along side the two new members. This was bringing back the hope and smiles that were lost upon the Roidmudes introduction, for both human and Omnic kind.
One thing is for sure, Hope was being reignited into the world.
As for Torbjorn, the older veteran engineer smiled softly at hearing this. Maybe…. He still has some place in this world to help out those like he did before. Maybe… it was time to join them back.
(Insert Opening - World End - Code Geass R2 Opening 2 - NateWantsToBattle Ver)
There is a light at my world's end, There's nothing left now to defend
As the song starts, we see Cody standing along what looks like to be a field, overlooking the plains and the city out in the distance. A smile on his face as he begins to race towards the city.
It flies off in the wind
As Cody races towards the city, several Signal Bikes and Shift Cars are racing behind him. As he keeps running, the title card appears, shining brightly before the Signal Bikes and Shift Cars races towards it, flying right through it as the screen turns white.
I can't get by pretending it's okay
The screen then comes back to Cody, relaxing in the Overwatch HQ, as Tracer appears, teasing him by fiddling with his hair. Mercy from afar giggles at this while Winston sighs, working on something as it sparks in his face.
I can't help us so this is our last day
It then shifts to Lucio jamming to his music before D. Va pops in, taking off his headphones and running around, with the said person trying to chase after her. Only to stop and see Reinhardt standing there, arms crossed before scolding them. As Mei sighs slightly from their antics.
Everything was stolen from me, In a world that wouldn't change
We then see Hanzo, meditating under some cherry blossom trees as Genji is sitting right behind him, a small smile appear on Hanzo's face. Before shifting towards Zenyatta, giving a speech at some sumit as Zarya keeps guard over him.
What's this song that I have been singing, A song of colors turned to gray
It then changes towards an alley as smoke blooms in it, and appearing from it was none other than Reaper, along with Widowmaker, Talon, and several more shrouded by the darkness.
Everything is bright
Back at the HQ, the alarm goes off as Tracer, Winston and Mercy races off towards it, as Cody follows behind them, lifting up Signal Mach.
It's time to let my shattered dreams, Become this world's reality
It then changes to an all-out brawl as Tracer is fighting against Windowmaker, with Lucio backing her up. Then changes to Genji and Hanzo, unleashing their dragon attacks with D. Va jumping out of her mech that quickly self-destructs, besting Talon's forces.
It's the end for me
We then see Cody, now in Mach's armor as he strikes, shoots and deflects every attack at him as he changes into Dead-Heat, Chaser and another shadowy form as he gets close to Reaper.
There is a light at my world's end, There's nothing left now to defend
It then changes back to Cody running towards somewhere, as the screen quickly pans out to show the rest of the heroes of Overwatch who still remained heroes. Each one smiling or determined as they race off towards their location.
Now I can see, There's nothing left for me
As they keep running, it pans to show not only a newly made Overwatch Headquarters, but a more brightful future as the sun shines on the HQ's tower. It then slowly cuts back towards Cody, now looking up at the night sky as the title card appears one last time.
A new day rises over the new Overwatch base as Cody was helping Lena, Krim and Winston with the repairs to this new base as it was severely outdated and needed work on. The rider was using his armor already to help out with the heavy lifting and wire attachments.
Setting down the last box, he swipes his hands. "Alright that's the last of it." Cody said.
"Thanks for the help, Cody! You can take a break." Winston informed the young man.
"No problem and thanks," he waved off before he relaxed in the small sofa. The blonde looks around before noticing Chaser working on his metal arm again. Ever since he removed the Deadheat Shift Car from the Mach Driver to help Cody, it reacted with the energy that was in the arm and he has been fixing it ever since as if something really happened.
"Say um….. Are you alright?" Cody asked, still feeling some guilt over that it was he who messed up his arm.
'I am alright for the 10th time.' The message said.
"Sorry…. Can't help it…." He sighed, "It was my fault after all."
Chaser sighed as he continues to work on his arm. 'Well stop asking already alright? I'm fine.' The message said.
"S-Sorry…." He apologized again, before looking over to see the 3 Viral Cores nearby, "I wonder though….. Why did they accept you? Your Viral Cores…. They only trusted one person…."
Chaser remained quiet, 'I wish I knew….' The message responded, 'They just gave me the weapon and I trusted them upon entering this time. Who else could I trust in back then?'
"There you are, Chaser!" Mei called out, walking over as she now had thinner clothes on, but still the same style as her heavy winter clothes. She smiled before handing him some water.
'Hey,' he greeted.
Mei smiled brightly, "Oh, I also wanted to thank you for fixing my little buddy." she gestured to the small drone, "I was worried I'd had to get Winston to help, and you know how he is with machines."
"Hey! I do well with them!" The scientist responded.
'You nearly caused an explosion last time,' the message displayed. 'Most would work before it explodes. Remember when you tried to fix the air vents?'
Winston huffed, turning away as Mei giggled, "Still, thank you very much for that…. You didn't even ask, and just went for it. That means a lot to me."
'I was only doing the right thing.'
"And I appreciate that." She smiled sweetly at him.
A tint of red spreads across Chaser's face, causing him to quickly shake his head. 'It's nothing…' He responded.
"Oh! But I should repay you! Um… how about some points on your arm? While I may be a climatologist, I do know some things in the field of mechanical limbs." She offered.
'I…'
"He'd love to know, Mei." Cody finished the sentence, earning a glare from him and a smile from Mei.
"A-Meizing! I'll go grab my kit!" She smiled before rushing over to grab what she needs.
Cody chuckled until a shocking punch to his arm made him stop as he looks at Chaser who have a harsh glare. "H-Hey… i'm only trying to help….." He rubbed his arm that now felt numb.
'I told you that I am fine alright? I don't any help with my arm. It's my problem and my own to solve '
"Chaser. You're in Overwatch now, than on your own. WE help each other out." he reminded.
'But for personal problems? It is my own to handle. Just leave me be.' Chaser informed as he walks over to a corner and chose to be alone and continue to fix the mechanical limb by himself as some red sparks were appearing slightly before the shinigami made it go away thankfully.
The young rider frowned before sighing as he walked over to one side and sat down next to Lena. "He's a real tough nut to crack…" He turned to Lena, "Any idea how we can get through to him?"
"Its kinda like how Jack is as well," Lena said.
"Stubborn like a stool?" He smirked softly, earning a soft chuckle from the pilot.
"I heard that/I heard that," Jack and Chaser said.
The two chuckled out once more, for Lena to punch his arm playfully, "That. As well as admitting to only working alone." She informed.
"But… didn't Jack used to work for you all?" Cody questioned, earning a nod, "Was it.. Due to the event that tore the team apart?"
Lena lowered her head before she nodded softly. "After that day, we all thought Jack died during the attack but I guess we didn't know he actually survived."
Cody frowned softly, "I…. I'm sorry about that… I shouldn't have brought up that memory." He apologized.
"It's alright luv," she assured with a smile. "Besides almost the whole gang is here and we have new members. That's what counts."
"True to that." He smiled back.
"Speaking of old acquaintances. I believe we should find another old member and have them join us." Krim informed them.
"Who?" Cody asked the scientist in the belt.
"This 'genius inventor' Symmetra and Angela have talked about. Torbjorn Lindholm." He informed.
"Torby is coming?" Lena gasped and smiled.
"Indeed." Krim smiled.
"Uh… who?" Cody blinked.
"Torbjorn was around when Lena joined Overwatch. She, Tobjorn, Reinhardt and Angela did a mission in King's Row due to Null Sector." Jack explained.
"Null Sector?" Cody repeated.
'A zealous Omnic organization that were basically terrorists.' Chaser said, gaining attention. 'I gathered info when I ended up in this time era. If anything I have a damn good feeling that this group would take interest in assisting the Roidmudes and their genocide campaign.'
"Oh…. wow…" He turned to Lena, "So he's not only family, but you went on such a dangerous mission? Heh, I can see why you trust him."
"Yup." Lena giggled. "So where is he?"
"Sweden. We'll be heading there first thing, tomorrow."
"Alright!" Lena cheered before turning to Cody, helping him up. "First thing is first though. Shooting training, as you asked."
Cody looked at her confused, "Huh? I never requested shooting training." He responded, only for the pilot to lead him away.
In a large area, many Numberless Roidmudes and Rogue Omnics were walking about but within a chamber Paradox was on his throne, watching the updates as he now learned Cuba was now free from any Roidmudes all due to Mach but not just them and Overwatch being alive but the damn Shinigami.
He clenched the handles tightly before he roared as his arm became a shotgun and shot a drone into bits. The minerals needed were now unreachable and the machine progress was put to a halt. Not to mention his data hadn't been fully complete so he was still powerless due to his strength.
"Damn it…. Damn it all…." He growled, turning to one of the Roidmudes that was able to escape, "And just when I thought it was going smoothly, we find that they're all alive…. And 'You' couldn't do a thing to stop them?!"
"Forgive me Parad-"
"We needed those minerals to complete the pillar! And now we cannot and we would have to resort to a new resource that will take months to find compatible!"
"P-Please forgive me, Paradox…. I-I'll try my best to achieve my Cho Evolu-"
"Get out of my sight before I blast you to bits!"
The Roidmude flinched, rushing away before he changed his mind and destroys him. The golden time controlling Roidmude sat down on his throne, looking over the footage. This truly was troubling indeed. If the new Mach now has this form, he's closer to achieving his true power. One that could rival that damn Drive's and end his plans.
Not to mention the Shinigami. He wasn't like that Roidmude traitor but completely human. There's no doubt that he will be obtaining the same thing as well. It's only a matter of time before the two cursed Riders fully become threats. Slamming his hand on the handle, he needed something. While the rogues and the Roidmudes still continue their battles, it will only slow them.
Just as he searched through, he noticed the Executioner Roidmude entering the room. "What is it you want?"
"Pardon my intrusion Paradox-sama but we have a few guests."
Paradox raised a mechanical eyebrow. "Let them enter."
What walked in were three, almost broken down Omnics. But… they seemed more different. They were purple, grey, and black than the traditional silver and gold. They also had a different symbol on them and looked very old. Not to mention one almost looks like a centaur.
"Old units?" Paradox muttered before looking at a Roidmude. "Oi, fix their communication systems."
The Roidmude nodded before walking over to the four and begins to install speaking systems into their bodies. "Now what brings old machines into my domain?" Paradox asked.
"Re-ve...nge….. Over….watch…."
Paradox leaned forward upon hearing this. "Oh? I take it you had run ins with these humans?"
"Long…. Ago…. Up-rising….. We… survived…. Ba-rely…. Four…. Must die…" One of the Omnics then showed four images. 2 of them, he recognized. The ones known as 'Tracer' and 'Mercy'.
Paradox looks at the machines for a moment before he realized this might be his lucky day. "Executioner, Take them to a repair bay. It seems a new group has chose to join our campaign." He then raised his hand. "Oh and give them some upgrades. This just might be our lucky day."
Back at the base, Cody was using one of Lena's gun for target practice and shooting training. Though, this weapon had a much more difficult kickback than his Zenrin Shooter….. Even though he only uses it in his armor. "Um… are you sure I need this training, Lena? I mean.. I do fine on my own when I'm Mach." He questioned her.
"Come on, luv. I know you have that Shooter but sooner or later you might have to use that other weapon Krim mentioned. This Trailer… er what was it?"
"Trailer-Hou. It means 'Cannon'." He smiled, "I should help you learn Japanese. Maybe you'll get these jokes, me, Krim and Genji talk about." He chuckled, earning another playful punch.
"Don't get cheeky with me, recruit." She smirked, "I'm still your superior officer here."
"Sorry." He smiled, taking another shot but grunts softly as he shakes his hands, "I'm more surprised your pistol has so much kickback, spite the fact it spreads."
"You'll get used to it." She waved off.
"Right." He nods, adjusting himself, before Lena helps him out.
"Just take a deep breath and gently squeeze. You can't just spread it off the bat. Try to make sure one bullet comes out and work your way up to holding the trigger down." she informed him, placing her hands on his to help him out.
"R-Right," he nodded as he aims at the target with her help. Looking at the target, he took a deep breath before pulling the trigger as a few rounds hit the target mark in the center area.
"Great hit! Almost dead center!" Lena complimented the shot. "You're a natural shot, stud." She winked at him.
"T-Thanks Lena," he said with a small blush. "Couldn't have done it without your help."
"Heh, well once we're back I'll give you some more tips." She offered to him, before noticing the soft blush, "You alright, luv? You seem red." She questioned, moving in a bit closer.
His blush increased, "I-I'm alright! Just a little tired is all. Yeah."
She hummed softly before backing up and smiling, "Alright then, luv. Why don't you take a break and come back in 30 minutes? We'll increase your training."
"Y-Yeah…" he nodded while Lena leaves the training room. Once gone, he took a deep breath as he placed his hand over his heart. Ever since they all reunited, this odd heart-race began to appear whenever he was this close to Lena…. Could… he truly be…?
"Are you alright, Cody?" Krim asked, Shift Speed rolling near him.
"I… I honestly don't know…" he admitted. "Its that weird feeling that…" suddenly a purple message popped up.
'Feels like you are falling in love?' Cody raised his head to see Chaser leaning against the wall.
Cody looked at Chaser before down at his hand, "L-Love? But… Lena… she's-"
'She cares about you Cody' the message said. 'Unlike before your heart is telling you that she is the one to be with.'
"How can you know stuff like this?" Cody asked. "Wait… Chaser were you in a relationship before… all this?"
Chaser didn't make a message, his expression softened for a moment before he took a deep breath. He reached in his back pocket before presenting it to Cody. In the photo was Chaser but when he had a military buzzcut but with him was a beautiful woman with black hair that reached to her shoulders, brown eyes as she was wearing a white dress with blue pants.
"O-Oh.. I'm…. sorry for bringing up a memory…" He apologized before smiling, "Heh, she kinda reminds me of Mei a bit."
He frowned slightly, making Cody flinch. 'If anything don't lose that feeling Cody… believe me…'
"But…. how can I… tell her? I'm… worried she only sees me as a friend, or.. She has someone else already.." He said, almost acting like…. Well like an idiot.
Chaser rolled his eyes. 'Lena cares about you, nimwit. She has been worried about you every time. Hell I have seen her jealous and believe me jealous chicks are a bad thing to see.'
"Heh, true…" He chuckled softly, "I'll…. Try my best…. But it'll be hard… after… you know." He admits.
'I know. Heck, I'm sure Reaper and his cronies want my head after what I did.' He shrugged. 'Just remember alright? You can't let that feeling go or it will hurt your soul…'
Cody nodded, "Right…. Thanks Chaser…." He smiled, "And no offense, but you should also learn to find love again."
'I can't…'
"Come on, I mean you have been good with a few women during your travels before you met us right?" Chaser shook his head. "Then what is bothering you, Chaser? Come on, at least tell me."
The Shinigami looks away, 'My reason… I just can't… my loved one, she died from a terminal illness… and we were engaged too…'
"I…. I'm so sorry… I didn't know…." Cody apologized. "She was everything to you wasn't she…?"
Chaser sat down as he nodded. 'We have been together since high school. Even during my tours during my service, I still find a way to call her to talk to her. We had thought of so many things… even thought of having a family together…' he lowers his head as he looks at his hands. 'But now… now I can't after she died and myself being taken away from my own time. I nearly died when I ended up here. I always thought it was the best option… but now this…' He gestured to his real hand and mechanical hand.
"Chaser….." Cody muttered softly, "I….. I can tell it truly hurt…. But…. you really can't let that hold you back. Everyone deserves some chance to find a new spark and nurture it. And you deserve that as well…"
Chaser looks away as he stands up, 'I am going to get some sleep.. just… be ready tomorrow for the mission…' The message said as it turned red again for a second before going back to its purple color as he leaves.
Cody sighs softly, turning to Krim, "He really needs to know. While he opened my eyes to try to go for Lena… He needs to revert his eyes to Mei."
"Cody, Chaser has been through more than you have. You must understand how he feels. All soldiers go through tough times after their service."
"Yes I do…" He frowned softly, "But he can't just keep his heart down… I see him looking at Mei once and awhile. It's obvious his heart wants to have that spark again, but he's not letting it…"
"He's still in pain. He is only clinging onto the only thing that drives him. Hope. With that, he fights… but he has his own troubles too. He talked to Jack about a few things too."
"Like what?"
"What stops a man from stopping himself."
Cody flinched from hearing that, his head lowering as he knew of what that felt like. From seeing friends and family go through with it. But also knows of the ways to help them out. "I do know…. But that's why I try. Try to show him he can still have a life…." He responded, "Otherwise, what would be my own point for staying here in this time for so long?"
"You look up to him don't you?"
"I see a lot of myself in him…." He responded, "To where I want to make sure he can have some future with somebody…"
"Just give it time… alright?"
Cody nodded as he then looked down at the pistol before a soft smile on his face formed, "Krim? Activate the targets… I still need to work on this." He requested.
"Sure thing." Krim 'smiled' before he activated the targets.
As the night was still young, Chaser was trying to sleep but as he does, he could still hear the sounds of gunfire and such of combat, even shouting of orders, making him remember those moments in the past during his tours.
He twist and turns until he quickly sat up as he aimed his service pistol left and right, sweat beading down his face and his breathing rapid and heavy. He lowers the pistol and sets it back under the pillow as he soon stood up and walked out of his room until he enters one of the viewing rooms that showed the outside. He looked out at the ruined area and the city past it before he sighed.
'You really should be in bed….' The message popped up as he turns to see Mei there.
"I know. But so should you, Chaser." She refuted.
'It's nothing to worry…' he looks away.
"Yes it is. You need rest as everyone else does. After all…. We're both human."
'I hardly get sleep..' He admitted.
"Then let me help with that. I know perfect remedies to give you, your sleep." She walked over. "You're already as strong as possible…. Why push harder than you already can manage?"
He lowers his head upon her response. 'I… I just can't lose more people than I already have. I have lost enough in my life. I lost fellow people who were like brothers… I lost my own voice and two limbs… I lost the woman I loved…'
"Chaser…." Mei muttered softly, walking over as she took his hand, "But you haven't lost us…. Me, Overwatch, and the others are still here. We remained strong and survived many more times than you realize…. You don't have to feel like that anymore…"
The Shinigami lowered his head, 'What if you can't…' he questioned.
"I will." She huffed, "I've survived in cryo-stasis when all of my comrades died from it. I survived a trip to the moon while being hunted by feds. And I survived here when the Omnics attacked one last time, and when the Roidmudes tried to kill me. I won't die on you, Chaser."
He looks at Mei, feeling surprised upon her words. 'Mei…'
She soon blushed and looked away with embarrassment, "O-Only because I care for you like the others…" She said, "I-I know you can be hurt, but I too felt like that as well… but you can heal and move on too….."
'R… Really…?'
She nods, "I-I…. I too was married once and lost him due to time…." She lowered her head, "He meant the world to me and we've been friends when we were nothing more than play buddies…. Heh, we were about to be married after I got back from my mission….. Until the cryostasis failed and froze me longer than I should've been… when I got out… He died from a heart attack…."
'I'm… sorry for your loss…'
"Thank you…" She wiped some tears away, "But…. it wasn't all bad. He was able to leave me with some money he earned while working for Overwatch as he waited for me. I loved him, but I knew I couldn't remain sad my whole life… So, I moved on… for him." Mei smiled softly, touching the small hair pieces in her hair.
Chaser looks at Mei, feeling a little stunned that she actually moved on from all that happened to her. "I… see…" he looks at his hands.
Mei smiled softly, taking his hands as she made him look at her as the moon's light shined into the room and onto her, "Which is why I believe you too can move on. That you can find your peace and find a new life, than using the former life you're clinging onto…."
He felt his heart race as his face began to heat up upon her words. It… it felt… peaceful. 'Mei…'
The woman smiled brightly at him, "So please… for my sake…" In a few moments, there was then an aftershadow that showed Chaser's old love next to her, "Live today with your heart full of life." Mei and the old love said in unison before the moon's light disappeared along with the old image from long ago. His eyes began to water as he slowly leaned towards her.
The climatologist blinked as she stood there, "Cha-" She was then soon met with his lips, making her blush but slowly closes her eyes as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. He finally realized she was right… he had to… he had to move on. If not, he would have only held himself back, being a lone-wolf…
The kiss deepened for a moment until Chaser pulled away. "M… M…" she heard him trying to use his voice. But she just smiled and placed her fingers on his lips.
"It's okay…. You can use your display…" She smiled sweetly for him.
He shook his head. "T… Thank you, M-Mei…"
She smiled back, "You're welcome Chaser….." She said, about to head back to her bed before feeling his hand as she turned back to him.
"Pl-Please… St… Stay…"
Mei smiled softly, nodding as she walked back over and sat next to him. "Of course…. 'Wo de wangzi'." She giggled as she leaned against his chest.
He stared at her for a moment before his mind felt something crawling back to him. An old memory. A memory of not who he once was… but his name.
His name.
"My… name…" he rasped as Mei turned to him, "It's… Ethan… My name is… Ethan…."
She smiled, "Ethan….. I like that name…. Just as much as 'Chaser'. A nice, strong name…" She complimented.
He blushed as he looks away slightly as a message popped up, 'Good night, Mei.'
"Good night…. Ethan…" She smiled at him.
Morning dawned as everyone was waking up to begin the mission soon. Everyone got ready as Mach, Tracer, Mercy, Mei, and Mashin Chaser took this mission to have Torbjorn join Overwatch once more. Everyone was in their mission suits as the british pilot, with the young speedy rider co-piloting along with her made their way to Sweden.
"So what's this Torbjorn guy like?" Mach asked.
"He's a genius." Tracer smiled, "He created almost everything tech, weapon, or armor in Overwatch."
"Now that's a man I can relate to," Krim said from the Trailer-Hou that the Drive Driver was on.
"Heh, I'm sure you two will get along, Krim." Tracer giggled. "He even helped make the bases as he was one of the first members with Jack, Reinhardt and…. Ana…"
"Yeah sounds like Krim alright," Mach chuckled. "He made the Drive Pit after all. Wait, who's Ana?"
Three of the members remained silent for awhile before Tracer took a deep breath, "She…. was one of the other founding members of Overwatch. 'The Sniper of Horus' as they called her…. She was not only our medic, but our best sniper out there….." She smiled softly, "She helped me learn how to use my pistols, and was one of the best people in Overwatch…. She died in battle…"
"She was also Pharah's mother," Mercy added.
"Ugh…." Mach groaned to himself over the sensitive topic, "I really should learn not to bring up bad memories…."
'It's a habit you should quit on' the message from Mashin Chaser.
"Says the one who uses 'Emoji's'." Mach smirked, "Even this era abandoned them." He received another 'Shock Punch' from the reaper.
"What's…. An 'Emoji', Cody?" Tracer asked confused.
"Symbols of emotions, you know just to make things positive." Mach explained.
"Sounds kinda dumb…" Tracer responded, unimpressed.
"Heh, that's what I thought back then." He chuckled, "Anyways…. I'm more concerned of one thing…" He turned to them, "If your friend, Torbjorn, is this brilliant…. Do you think the Roidmudes would try to use him? He could build something more dangerous than they could imagine…"
"It's possible," Krim said grimly.
"One reason to have him join us before they even try…." Tracer gripped the wheel.
"Don't worry…. We'll get there…." Mercy reassured the pilot.
The airship soon entered the town as Mach and Mashin Chaser look at the sight. "Wow… it's so different than it used to be…" The young rider noted as Mashin Chaser nodded.
The town was filled with to the brim with mechanical advances that looked almost steampunk like. Yet, while it seemed like that, it looked more natural than that of the polluted times of old and even more so from America than before. Even more so that everything that spewed this new fire looked handmade than constructed in a factory.
"Torbjorn really is an intelligent man." Krim observed with an impressed look.
Tracer though, smiled at the familiar enginering creation. "It just shows he's alive and well. Making sure he continues to help those in need." She said softly. "Now let's go look for him!"
The others nod as they began to walk through the town as they see more and more people outfitted with what he has made, surprise yet awe and wonder filled the three who have yet to see it as they continued to walk until they came up on a store before entering, inside was only a few people, and one person behind the counter.
"Welcome to Screws and Fixes. How may we help you?" The person said behind the counter.
"Ah, yes. Can you get Torby for us? Tell him friends are here." Tracer smiled.
"Who?" The person asked as a soft flash of yellow was formed in the eyes.
"Torbjorn." Tracer clarified.
"I'm sorry Miss Oxton, but we don't know such a man." The person said, earning a quick glance form Mach. The young rider soon pointed the Zenrin Shooter at the person before pulling the trigger and letting a large blast at the person's head, earning a gasp from Tracer, Mercy and Mei. "Cody! What the hell did you do?"
"Tracer….. Take a closer look…" Mach said to her.
Mashin Chaser's arm lit up as he placed his claws hand onto the chest, the static forming over to reveal a Numberless Roidmude. 'A Roidmude, Spider-Type: Numberless.'
"The people in here are only Roidmudes…. They took him away…" Mach informed them.
They gasped until Mercy noticed something. She knelt down before picking up a small metal piece. "But he left a trail."
"Huh?"
"I know Torbjorn, if anything he would leave small reminders, pieces of his turret."
"Then we'll follow him…. After dealing with these numberless…" Mach said, lifting up his Signal Bike, "Ready Chaser?"
The Shinigami nodded as he pressed the Break Gunner.
GUN!
Mach soon placed in his Signal Bike, closing the Driver as he turned to shot the few that were about to sneak attack them, "Let's… Henshin!" He called out.
RIDER! MACH~!
The energy tires and armor formed in front of him, blocking the blasts from the Roidmudes before knocking them back and placing onto himself, donning on his armor. He then rushed over towards the far two in the back, while Mashin Chaser took the three he left behind. The others were about to help out until a few Omnics popped out of the ground. But they weren't just regular ones, these were the types from the Uprising Incident long ago!
"Mercy, these are…" Tracer recognized in shock.
"Null Sector's…. But… They were wiped out…" Mercy responded.
"Guess some remained." Mei frowned, "Let's deal with them." She said before the three shot at them.
The centaur type shot out a barrier that protected its fellow units, blocking incoming shots while the Eradicator's barrier was up as it was shooting its three energy shots at them.
Mashin Chaser glanced back before looking at Mach. 'Mach, handle these two Roidmudes. I'll help the others.'
"Heh, don't worry about me! I need more practice to handle crowds!" He chuckled, ducking and kicking a Roidmude away.
The Shinigami nodded before running to the others as he sees them before he focused on the centaur one. Hopping onto it, the machine sees him as it began to act like a bucking bronco, trying to get him off. However the Shinigami's arm sparks as he lunged his fist into its system. The machine began to slow down before its eyes turned purple and focused its fire on the other Null Sector units.
'Hack, complete…. Protect them from shots….' He ordered as the Omnic nodded before walking over to them, standing tall in front of them as it took some shots, while giving them some cover.
"Since when could you do that, Chasey?" Tracer asked.
'Remember the day you met me?'
"Oh yeah, I remember that!" Tracer realized.
"Let's just shoot them down, before they go out and harm the innocent people!" Mercy said to them.
The others nodded while the Centaur Unit put up a barrier, allowing Tracer and Mei to shoot at the enemy units. But upon doing so, they soon see the wounds they left…. Began to heal?
"Wait, since when could they do that?!" Tracer pointed out.
"They are using Roidmude tech!" Krim shouted.
"That's not fair!" Tracer pouted.
Realizing it was time to change tactics, Mashin Chaser brings out another Viral Core and placed it into the Break Gunner, slamming his palm against it.
TUNE: CHASER BAT!
The sound of a bag was heard as the energy was forming from his back before connecting to the Break Gunner in hand. Aiming at one of the units, he unleashed an energy bow that pierced through its head, destroying it as it was unable to come back.
"More are coming!" Mercy called out, as more of those Omnics began to crawl out, these ones were smaller like dogs but felt deadly. They needed more fire power.
"Slicers!" Tracer called out.
Mashin Chaser aimed at one after one until a familiar little drone flew past them as it began to unleash a mist of ice into the ground, the Null Units slowly freezing into solid ice.
"Chaser…. I know you can do this. Just have faith in your team, alright?" Mei turned to him.
Mashin Chaser nodded, and upon that, the two other Viral Core flew in, striking down the Slicers before landing into his hands, chirping at him, as if they wanted him to use them all. He slowly nodded before he placed in the other two before slamming the barrel to his palm, purple sparks surroundings his body as he began to clutch his chest.
"Chaser?!" Mei's eyes widen for a moment, worried before she felt his arm on her.
"I-I'm….. Fine…. Mei…" He said with his raspy voice before the sparks began to collect and soon form into energy.
TUNE!
CHASER: BAT/COBRA/SPIDER!
"Trip…..ple… Tune!" He got out with his raspy voice. In moments, the energy flew into the Bat-Bow, as it soon added the Spider-Talons and Cobra-Whip onto the weapon. He's finally earned his Triple Tune powerup.
Sparks formed around his body as he prevented the urge to scream but he chose to continue as he uses the Cobra-Whip as he lashed at the frozen Slicers, shattering them before aiming at an incoming Centaur Unit. The beam he fired was strong that it literally cut through the Null Unit and the one behind it as well.
"Such.. power…." Mercy gasped in awe.
The Shinigami lunged his blade into an Eradicator before he swipes the blade from behind, cutting down two Units as the area was no longer filled with any functioning Null Units. 'Area clear…' the message displayed.
"Well done, Chaser!" Mach smirked, blocking another attack from a Roidmude before jumping back, "Okay, you guys are getting annoying…" He frowned, rapidly striking his belt.
ZUTTO! MACH!
He soon rushed ahead, speeding past the Roidmudes before turning back around and rushing back, striking them as he continued to rush past and strike them, as they were unable to keep up. As he continues, he soon strikes one away as he gripped the Zenrin Shooter, rolling the wheel down as he strikes the one away from the group hard, causing the attack to force the numberless Roidmude to intake too much energy it could hold, causing it to exploded into ash.
"Lena! Heads up!" Mach called out, kicking two at the pilot.
"Back at ya luv!" She grinned before firing at the last two.
The two began to kick the small group of Roidmudes back and forth before the robotic enemies could barely stand unable to continue as Mach held up his weapon, before energy began to build up, "One more!" He called out to the other speedster.
FULL THROTTLE!
He then unleashed a large bullet at the group, blasting them towards the Pilot who Blinked in between them before placing her Pulse Bomb as she recalled back to where she was. The group of Roidmdues soon flew out of the store, and into the forest behind before the explosion erupted, leaving a crater and ashes left.
"Heh, well done!" Mach complimented the pilot.
"Same to you." She complimented in return.
'Save the cutsy talk later….' Chaser informed them through a message.
This made Mach blushed, luckily his helmet covered it up, "I-I was just complimenting our teamwork!" He stated to him.
'Sure you were…' the Shinigami shook his head.
"Now, now… Let's not fight. Besides…. We should check to see if the people they copied are still here." Mercy informed them.
"Oh right but one thing…" he looks at the Null Centaur that Mashin Chaser hacked. "Where the heck did they even get one of these?"
"They are units of Null Sector," Tracer said.
"Wait, the same ones Jack mentioned yesterday?" Mach realized.
"The very same…. But they should be all destroyed… We made sure of that…" Tracer frowned with confusion.
"Great, first Roidmudes recruited Rogue Omnics and now they recruited a robotic terrorist organization." Mach groaned. "So what are we gonna do after checking if the people are safe? I know we have to follow the trail that Torbjorn left behind but where exactly? I mean during the fight, we would have lost track of the second piece."
Mashin Chaser jabs his thumb at the Hacked Null Unit. 'We just follow it back to the base they are in.'
…..
"I… should've thought that…" Mach groaned in defeat.
The team searched around as they found a closed off room. It looked to be sealed with metal parts for where not even air can crack in. Mach turned to Chaser as the two nodded and struck the door, bringing it down. Inside were the people the Roidmudes 'replaced' all unconscious and deprived from the lack of air as Mercy came in to check their pulses.
"They're alive, but weakened state." She frowned, "They need severe medical attention."
Seeing this, Mashin Chaser looks at the medic. 'Look after the injured.' The message said before looking at Mach and the others. 'We follow the Hacked Unit and find this Torbjorn. The sooner we find him, the hands of rescuing him will be possible before word spreads of the Numberless being defeated.'
They all nodded in agreement as Mashin Chaser walks to the Hacked Null Unit and checked the damage but luckily it was still functional. That being said, he deactivated the Triple Tune while keeping his armor active and when he did, his left arm sparked slightly in red making him grimace under the helmet.
Guess it still affects him every so often.
"Are you alright?" Mei asked, placing her hand on the metal arm, worried.
'Yeah. Just a first to use Triple Tune is all.' The message said as he looks at the other two. 'Alright let's head where this Unit goes to.'
What felt like an hour or so, the four followed the Unit while Mercy stayed to help the civilians. As Tracer and Mei were behind while Mach and Mashin Chaser leading the front, the Armored Rider looks at his friend.
"Has everything been alright?" Mach asked.
'Yeah just adjusting to the Triple Tune.'
"Oh…" he slowly nodded. "At least you got it right?" Mashin Chaser nodded. Looking back at the other two, he looks back at the Shinigami. "Hey, er... Chaser. I wanted to ask you something."
'What is it this time?'
"Is there something going on between you and Mei?"
The Shinigami was quiet for a second but he chose to lie since he rather not tell the blonde about it. 'Her drone needed repairs not to mention that fact that her weapon needed a few fixes after that incident she did."
"You sure? Cause…. To me it looks like you two became a couple." Mahc said bluntly. He shook his head, giving another lie. "Oh… okay." Mach shrugged. "How much farther anyway?"
The Shinigami brings up his hand as it showed a projection. 'A mile or so from walking distance. We are getting close.'
The young rider nodded, as they kept walking, only glancing once and awhile, "You know… it kinda has me worried…." He said to them.
"About what, luv?"
He turned to the pilot, "If…. those customers were Roidmudes…. Who's to say the whole town isn't?" He pointed out, "It happened once before with Shinnosuke and the police force he was with… It could happen again."
"Then we will be ready for that. Besides, it was only those from the shop that were Roidmudes."
"You have a point…" Mach sighed until Mashin Chaser raised his hand.
'We're here.' The message said.
Over the ledge was a large metal facility, complete with hundreds of Numberless Roidmudes and Null Sector Omnics. More and more poured out of the large machine as more Null Sector Omnics entered, each one barely hanging together.
"They are repairing and upgrading all of the Null Sector Units…" Tracer gasped. "If the Units help the Roidmudes… this can't be good…"
"Any ideas, Chaser?" Everyone looks at the Rider knowing he has the tactics and strategy. The Shinigami stared at the area, the helmet assisting his sights as he examines them.
Mashin Chaser walks over to the Hacked Unit before looking at his side and pulls out a device. Mach was curious as he watched him pressed some buttons. "What's that?"
'A special explosive I made with the help of Winston. I did most of the work.'
"What does it do?"
'The explosive can leave a large blast radius while unleashing a small EMP.'
"Are…. you sure that's a good idea, Chasey?" Tracer frowned. "There could be innocent Omnics in there too…"
'It will be timed.' He assured as he placed it into the Hacked Null Unit. 'This Unit will act as the container while others won't notice. It will head into whatever power source that powers the factory.'
"Question is… how do we get in?" Mei frowned, pointing towards the door that showed those who were complete robotic could enter.
"Great…" Mach groaned. "How are we going to get in. Chaser?" He looks to his left to see an outline of the missing Rider. "Chaser?" He looks left and right. "Where did he go?"
"Uh… guys." Tracer points ahead to see Mashin Chaser and the Hacked Unit going to the door is it scanned the two before it opened and allowed them to enter.
"Did he just leave us here?!" Mach snapped. Just as he was about to run up to the door, they heard a few grunts and some punches, even the sound of metal being smashed. The door fell in front of the three as there stood the two as Mashin Chaser released a destroyed Null Eradicator from his grip and ripped off the cannon it held.
"Did… you just….." Tracer got out.
'Made the door deactivate and bust it down? Yes.' The message said as he examines the weapon. 'This could be useful.'
"Uh… L-Let's find this dwarf…"Mach said, shaking off what happened as they entered the base.
The Null Centaur walked ahead to the power source while the others walked the other way while progressing carefully. They walk over from a railing before they noticed a large assembly line, witnessing all the units being repaired and upgraded.
"There's enough to wipe out a whole city…" Mei uttered.
"Over there!" Mach whispered as they saw the dwarf while two Roidmudes kept watch if the man who was being forced to do the repairs.
"Keep going with the progress you little human!" The first Roidmude ordered as he shoved him.
"Grr… if you bastards didn't hold my daughter against me, I'd turn you into scraps!" Torbjorn growled.
The other Roidmude punched him in the face. "I said keep working or your real arm will be ripped off!"
"Bah! I can always make a new one. I could even improve on your weak designs…" The engineer smirked.
They growled until another voice called out.
"Enough," a familiar voice made Mach pale. What entered was an ice-like Roidmude with the motif of a polar bear, bearing the number 001.
"Oh crap…" Mach gulped. "Freeze…"
"Who?" Tracer turned to him.
'Roidmude 001. Freeze Roidmude. Dangerous when he achieves Super form. His ice is strong and even went toe to toe with Drive's Formula form, even killing him one time...' The message said. 'From all other Roidmude's, Freeze is the second strongest before Paradox.'
"Even worse…. He has the power to alter memories…" Mach glared.
They watched the Freeze Roidmude approach Torbjorn. "While you think we are different. You all have never achieved the capability to halt time or slow it."
"As if time would bent to you, monsters…" He spat out.
"I beg to differ." He grinned as he used a small amount as Torbjorn suddenly felt slow, his brain reacting normally. He grabbed the man and lifted him up as the engineer could barely move. "See? Too easy and you can't. Do anything."
"Physically strong…. You may be…" He grunted, "But just like these tin cans you helped out, you can never hold a candle what we can do…."
"Hmph…" he tossed the engineer as he was tossed slowly before time continued as the engineer's back slammed into the wall.
Grabbing hold of the pack, ice began to slowly form as the heat couldn't melt it through and his metal arm couldn't generate the melted metal. "I'll be back in a few. Have fun without that pack to use your weapons." He turns around and leaves the room, leaving the other two Roidmudes with the engineer as they hefted up the cold engineer and shoved him to the machine as they began to place wires and parts onto him.
"Guh… you may use me like a battery…. But you won't stop us humans…. We'll beat you…" He gritted his teeth as electricity surged through the wires.
"Maybe, but not for long."
"Heh, this machine will make us tap into your genius mind more. Within an hour, you'll be nothing but a shell, while the data extracted from your mind will make the first ever, Omnic Roidmude, one that will end everyone on this planet but us."
Torbjorn growled until a shadow was behind the two. "Uh…"
The two slowly looked back but were greeted with two black claws that held the two up before bashing their heads together, destroying the two as it revealed Mashin Chaser.
"Who the heck are you?" Mashin Chaser makes a gesture as Mach, Mei, and Tracer followed up.
"Torby!" Tracer smiled, waving to him.
"By the stars… Tracer? Mei?" He got out, before he blinked and glared, "Hmph! Nice try you bots! But I'm not following for it."
"Take is easy Mr. Tobjorn," he looks down to see a unique buckle on top of a blue toy that rolled up to him. "They aren't Roidmudes. Besides a Roidmude wouldn't rely on the Lena's chest piece."
"Okay, that I didn't expect…" he stared at Krim.
"We came to help, sir. Don't worry, we're not with those Roidmudes, in fact, me and the guy in purple here were gifted weapons to beat them." Mach reassured.
"Eh? Then you must be the two who helped liberated Cuba." Torbjorn realized.
The two nodded, "Kamen Rider Mach and Mashin Chaser, at your service." He introduced.
"They're the newbies for Overwatch!" Tracer beamed.
"Yea- Oi!" Mach started.
'You are one.' Mashin Chaser said.
"You're not helping!" Mach whined.
The Shinigami shook his head as his arm sparked before forcing the machine to deactivate as it released the engineer.
"Thought I'd be stuck in this thing," He kicked the machine.
'Roidmudes are what they are.' The message displayed. 'We should go before the Unit I hacked detonates.'
"As if…. I'll let you two get away…." Freeze's chilling voice rang out as he appeared from the shadows. Everyone aimed their weapons at the Evolved Roidmude as the latter frowns at them. "I thought I recognize that armor but you aren't Gou." He then looks at Mashin Chaser. "And you aren't Chase."
"So what if we aren't?" Mach growled.
"Then this… will be easy. Even without my Cho Evolution…" He said, casting a Density Shift over them all.
Mach's eyes widened under his helmet, realizing that he doesn't have Type Formula with him and the other Signal Bikes wouldn't help with Freeze's Density Shift. If he learned anything, Freeze was the strongest Roidmude even without him using his Cho Evolution.
"Deal with the runts… The rider and fake reaper are mine…." He commanded as two Roidmudes landed on the ground. But these were different…. They had on robes, along with a mask covering their faces, their claws were longer and they had sickles. These were the Reaper Roidmudes.
"Reaper Roidmudes!" Mach recognized.
"What?" Tracer turned to the rider, needing some explanation.
"Basically Roidmudes who try to do Chase's job back then… and failed." He returned his sights onto the Roidmude.
"While you two may not be the originals… Wearing that armor is more than enough to give me pleasure to kill you…" Freeze threatened them.
"Then bring it, Freeze!" Mach challenged as he quickly brings up Dead-Heat, only to see the deadly roidmude flinch from seeing that, knowing he's not fully helpless. Bringing it to his buckle, he opens the panel and closes it.
SIGNAL BIKE/SHIFT CAR!
RIDER~! DEAD-HEAT!
The energetic tune played as the Drive armor forms and places onto himself, giving him the power to break through his tense Density Shift as he rushed towards Freeze and struck him, freeing the others from that power.
"You guys go on ahead! Me and Chaser will fight him!" Mach said, avoiding an attack from Freeze before countering it with a punch.
They were hesitant for a moment before they had no choice but to comply as the three ran while Mach and Mashin Chaser fight Freeze. The Shinigami grabbed the Eradicator Cannon he took from a Unit earlier before aiming at Freeze, firing a tri-energy blast.
But instead, the First Complete Roidmude, grabbed two of the Reaper Roidmudes and placed them in front of him, taking the blast and being destroyed instead, but no numbers flew out, showing they were the Numberless versions.
"As if I'll let you kill me that easily…" He spat out, before sending ice-spears as the robotic warrior.
The two Riders took cover as the ice spears flew past them. Grabbing Break Gunner and Zenrin Shooter, they got out of cover and fired at Freeze but he brought up a barrier to block the attacks. Once given an opportunity, Freeze uses the ice wall and pushes it towards the two, slamming them away and slid across the ground.
"He's strong…" Mach grimaced with Mashin Chaser nodding in agreement as the two stood up. "We gotta give the others time before you detonate this place. Any ideas?"
Mashin Chaser looks around before noticing a large crate above then at Freeze. 'Draw him to the center.'
"Eh?" Mashin Chaser gestured to what was above them. "Oh I get it now. Gotcha." He aims at Zenrin Shooter as he fired a few rounds, "Come on Freeze! I remember Shinnosuke kicking your ass after he was alive from your attack!"
"Geh! Don't test me, boy!" He shouted out, this time charging ahead, as ice-sickles formed i his hand. He was angered and going to end this new rider with ease.
"Now!" Mach called out. Mashin Chaser used the Break Gunner and shoot the ropes, causing the large crate to fall towards Freeze. Seeing the shadow, the Roidmude stops before looking up, and greeted with the crate as dust formed from the impact. "Alright!"
Mashin Chaser stared before noticing ice slowly forming as if Freeze is trying to get out. 'Let's hurry before he comes out pissed off.' He advised through the message. But before they could the rubble shifted as a single shard of ice shot out, piercing through Chaser's robotic arm as it soon began to rapidly freeze.
"Chaser!" Mach cried out, turning towards the rubble then back to his friend.
Mashin Chaser grimaced as he had to stop the ice until he chose to use the energy his arm uses as it was stopping it, slowly causing the ice to melt but he knew he had to fight still while the ice melts away as his limb went limp.
"Chaser… you arm…" Mach got out.
'The energy will melt the ice and allow it to be useful again. Once it melts, it will function again.' The message said. 'You need to hurry before the meter goes over the limit. I can still fight' he grabs the Break Gunner with the other hand and fired at a few Reapers.
"R-Right…." He nods, turning over as the others were having some trouble with the Reaper Roidmudes. He soon raced through one, causing it to explode before he kicked the two off, "Guys! Get out of here! We'll hold them off."
"But-"
"Remember that Chaser said that the Unit he hacked is already close to the Power Source. Once it detonates, this whole place will come down so go! I'll be fine, if worse case comes, I can activate the Berserker mode and race out of here, this form is fast enough to almost go lightspeed!" He informed them, kicking one Roidmude away.
"Don't die on us, alright?" Tracer said before she lead the others out while Mach and Mashin Chaser shot down a few more Roidmudes.
"Heh, wouldn't dream of it, Lena." He muttered.
The Shinigami looks at his armored arm to see the ice nearly gone as he could move his fingers a bit. He looks at Mach before noticing one Reaper approaching from behind and shot it through the side.
"Thank's for the save, Chaser." Mach thanked, the Shinigami return with a nod of his own. The arm lit up as the Shinigami looks at the location of the Unit.
'Package is at Power Source, we have to go now!'
"And for the finale!" Mach smirked, raising his belt before pressing onto the button and closing it.
HISSATSU!
BURST! KYUNI! DEAD-HEAT!
Steam and energy poured out of the Rider as he soon charged ahead, racing around the last few Reaper Roidmudes as he wailed on each pass he made, creating lines on them as they formed the kanji symbol for 'Burn' before the next hit made them strike each other, collecting the energy from the blows into one explosion. The rider panted softly as he looked up and raced after the others, though didn't take long to catch up then outrun them.
"Hey! No fair!" Tracer shouted out at him.
"Hehe… sorry," He chuckled before he noticed the meter letting out a sound. "Oh come on! Not now! Let me at least get out of here!" He grunts as the device begins to go berserk, this was way too soon but he needed to power through it until they reached outside.
"Almost… there…!" They ran faster and faster until they made it out as the explosion was activated, the facility slowly starting to collapse. They all panted with relief but Mach was struggling with the Dead-Heat.
Seeing this, Mashin Chaser once again had to remove it with the help of his arm as he removes it but the energy once again enters through as red sparks was coursing through his entire arm this time as a growl of pain was heard underneath the helmet. He soon yanked it away but the red sparks were seen while the purple energy was present until he clenched his hand and the energy stopped. The shinigami grimaced under the helmet, feeling strange energy alongside the energy the arm uses. It felt like needles piercing his arm but at the same time he actually felt pain through the metal limb.
"Chaser!" Mei rushed over to him, "Are you alright?" She asked, placing her hand on the metal limb.
'I'm fine.' The message displayed. 'Nothing to worry about…'
"Let me have a look." Trobjorn offered, kneeling down to look at his arm as he brought up a few tools.
Chaser moved his arm away. 'I said it is fine.' He stood up. 'I can fix it like before.'
"Boy, if there's one thing I know, is that once someone gets a metal limb, they repeat those same words." The engineer stated.
'I've dealt with this last time when Mach there used the Dead-Heat. It didn't bother me before.' The message said. 'Now let's go back to the town so we can regroup with Mercy.'
"Ah? Dear Angela is here too?" He smiled, "It truly is almost a reunion, only that tank jerk is left." He chuckled, jabbing playfully at Tracer. The pilot rolled her eyes with a smile.
After everything was dealt with, they all regrouped at the airship as Mercy saw the engineer, "Torbjorn, it is good to see you are alright."
"Likewise, Angela." He smiled, "It's truly good to see your smiling face once more."
She giggled, "I see you haven't changed either."
"Heh, old habits."
"But we find out that Null Sector is starting to be operational again," Tracer informed. "Their factory was literally a repair and upgrade for them."
"And we learned Freeze is going to be the one leading it." Krim grimaced.
"Which means… The Omnics now have more than enough ways to return back to their old roots…." Mach frowned, out of his armor and cleaning off some smaller wounds, "The Omnic Crisis could start again cause of this…"
'With the Roidmudes leading them. A war between Humans and Machine'
"Which means Overwatch is needed more than before…" Tracer frowned before she soon began to type away on the coordinates on the airship.
"But how? If the UN hears we are continuing with this, they won't allow us to continue any further." Mei raised her hand.
"We get the rest of the Calvary…." Tracer replied, "And screw them…. I don't want our world to burn again like it did before…. So we'll need to get good ol' Reinhardt next."
The others nodded in agreement as the airship was being lifted into the air. While everyone was waiting, Chaser pressed a key on his arm to display a small meter, checking on the energy of his arm. He saw everything alright, except detection of foreign energy, no doubt that somehow, his arm is collecting all the energy the Dead-Heat armor uses. The small display turned red for a minute before becoming purple again.
"Are you alright Chaser?" Mei asked, whispering to him with a worried look on her face before he places his hand on hers, patting it.
'Just checking on any updates.'
"Alright… but please don't worry me like that, alright?" She requested. He slowly nodded as she smiled and looked back before pecking his cheek before anyone noticed as she soon sat next to him with a smile on her face.
It is only a matter of time… Time before either the Roidmudes were stopped, or before another Omnic Crisis appeared from the shadows. It won't be long before a new war shows up and dives it into the flames, but this time they'll be ready to douse it before it spreads. Count on it.
A/N: Alright! Another chap done and new things to come out! Now I know this may feel bit too early for Mei and Chaser (Ethan) to date. BUT... I thought it was too heartwarming not to let it happen like this. So, yeah, they're a thing now, and we now know Chaser's name! Along with some interactions with Tracer and Cody. ;)
Next up is Torbjorn! Yes, the hunt for more Overwatch members has begun! Their'll be some other chaps showing other things and interactions and such, but the race to stop another Omnic Crisis is on, and only then will we see what's to come? But the first one up is Reinhardt. :3 Excited for... "CATCHPHRASE?!" XD
Until then, later minna!
