Sorry that I haven't uploaded in a long time, had shit ton of studies and exams, as well I had some National Guard "camp" if you can call it that where we basically learned, well I re-learned, all the basic stuff. So this will be one of few chapters that I will publish till school starts as I will be senior and I'll provide "order" in dorms.
With all that out of the way I want to wish you happy reading and I hope that you will enjoy these few chapters before main arc will start.
Last couple UN meetings had summoned all of it's representatives and this one wasn't an exception. Representatives from every country that had survived the omnic crisis had assembled to talk about rising unrest in rows of underclass citizens, gang violence that had become problem and acts of terrorism that had come up as Talon have been all around in news recently. They had just taken over city in Libya, what could you expect.
Corruption was spreading like wild fire between governments, there was no possibility to know how many of these congressmen have been paid off to ensure the downfall of civilization. Knowing that Wilhelm was now standing at the doors that led to chamber where all the corrupt government officials were having the meeting, well not all of them were corrupted, but after this there won't be anyone corrupted there.
Wilhelm kicked door dispersing into mist in an instant, the guards were in incomprehension as of why there is mist, after few seconds the mist had grown in size large enough to envelop first few advisers who's cry's could be heard as they saw for a moment assassins who had come in the cover of this mist. After a second all of the guards turned to politicians and started to shoot some of the "advisers" to congressmen. Advisers had stood up and pulled out their own weapons even tho carrying those inside of the building was strictly forbidden. When everything had been consumed by this darkness it all concentrated into middle of the room. Darkness that had been impossible to see through now almost clear allowing sight of dead guardsmen and some advisers around in the room. In the middle stood man in armor, on his chest he had a large coat of arms that everybody knew.
The Lucifer had come for them.
The same time in the streets of Fool's Paradise
Projectors and large screens had been set through out the city and were used to show new around world as well as battles for titles in their organization. But at the moment it was showing UN meeting everybody were staring at the screens, mesmerized and awaiting how the situation will escalate. Angela looked at screen not understanding why is this happening, but then she remembered what Wilhelm had said to her.
The time had come for them to make their existence know, and to be evolved into world's activities as they could turn around wars with warriors like these. Looking around Angela saw hope in eyes of her fighters, Exeeds that had accompanied her to provide her safety, the hope that she had seen in eyes of members of Overwatch when they had started it. When it had actually meant something.
She stood there and smiled, now understanding what Wilhelm had tried to accomplish at the very start of all this.
UN's conference hall
Congressmen were shaking, there were dead people all round them, it didn't surprise anyone as they hadn't seen anything like that in person, tho few of them looked unfazed. Four more people walked in room, locking the doors behind them as they entered. None of them wore masks, and everyone that were in this room knew them, they were Lucifer's lieutenants, also called four horsemen by some people.
"As much this looks like act of war, I must say that this isn't one" Lucifer started his speech, his voice void of any modulation and his helmet off allowing people for first time see him in his mask. "I have come here to make a proposition, that can be denied and no one will get hurt because it, I swear it on anything that is dear to me." He said holding his hand at his heart and slowly closing his eyes.
"Our proposition is this, when you need help, to get in control of situation that is happening in world around, by this I mean fighting terrorist organization like Talon, getting streets safe again by fighting against gangs." Lucifer said walking past Wilhelm and approaching Russia's representative for this UN meeting Katya Volskaya. "We could provide some fighters against Omnics, of course if your pride will allow it. For everything of this we may ask for some material support, but for I don't think it would be a problem for countries like yours." Lucifer ended his walk past everybody left in room and stood next to Wilhelm.
"The reason we made Lux Ex Tenebris was to help people when time will come, and now it has come. We will assist as we can, helping the weak and purging the corruption systematically. We don't care if you had done something bad in eyes of people for their well being, we care that you are not involved in acts of teorism or warmongering as were these unlucky congressmen." said Althaisa pointing around the room.
"All we need is green light from UN to proceed with our operations. If you allow us to proceed we offer you the option of alliance we will help you to protect your civilians as well as government of your countries. If you don't allow us to proceed we wont get involved with you, we won't come when you ask for help and we won't protect your government. Alpha, Beta and Fallen companies won't get involved while our governor-general won't see it fit for our involvement, but Exeeds are different story, we are backing them but they are not commanded by any of us." Said Mike smiling.
"You see they are independent fighters now commanded our newest lieutenant colonel that, as we hope so, will show herself when time is due. She doesn't follow orders of governor-general she does what she feels is right and will help the civilians." Mike ended and walked back standing by one of Majors and talking to him, tho it couldn't be heard.
"So, what will you say to us, are you with us, or will watch how world is consumed by chaos." Lucifer said walking towards UN members that had been moved together by other assassins, "or you will correct your mistake that you made five years ago and you'll will remove ban of Overwatch, the force that wouldn't have let Talon get out of control." Wilhelm was enraged mist forming around him his face/mask becoming light purple, bolts of lighting like power crackling around him and the place where his eyes should be was burning like flames.
Assassins around the room got nervous clicking off safeties, Althaisa pulling sword and moving to side of Wilhelm "Lucifer, get a hold of yourself." she spoke. Surviving congressmen were looking at "Lucifer" in fear. "Don't let it consume you, fight it, it isn't time for you to retire." Althaisa had taken sword in both her hand and now was standing ready to strike.
Slowly crackling stopped, mist disappeared, eyes closed and he looked down, "Thank you." could be heard in in room quietly, but clearly. "As I was asking are you in?" he looked back up his face back to normal again. Room went quiet for a second after which you could hear everybody letting out breath and guns safeties being put back on. After that congressmen talked between them and came to decision to ally themselves with these assassins, but they would look at the decriminalization of Overwatch in other meeting.
As assassins were walking away few of congressmen stood up and walked to them asking them to talk in private, those were representatives of Russia, Libya, Germany, Mexico, Japan and Baltic States. The moment they walked out of the doors Libya's congressman's phone went off. When he took the call his eyes widen, he hanged up and looked at other congressmen, "Talon's presence in city of Libya is terminated, our capital is safe." dropped in one of the seats as he told this.
"What kind of firepower do they have?" said representative of UK, "No one knows, and it is what I'm afraid off." said congressman of Germany. After that footage of UN meeting ended.
Half an hour latter, Fool's Paradise
"At least you could have told me that you'll assault UN meeting" said Angela, her face could be best described as one of the mothers when her child would have done something bad. "And you would have tried to stop us, maybe even succeeded if you would have played your cards right, but we couldn't just pass away opportunity as great at this." said Lucifer taking a seat, "The deed is done and there is nothing that we can do about it now." said Wilhelm.
"Well there is, but I know we won't take it." said Althaisa smiling at Wilhelm. "Yes and most importantly we succeeded in making alliance with UN and pulling us into the power, also we put up the question about remaking the Overwatch." said Lucifer. "Yeah and now we just need to do enough good deeds to get a seat in UN, also betting stronghold in Baltic States sounds really great." said Mike. "Yeah they always have been warriors in heart and training their soldiers as well as making some joint operations with them will win us a favor with their people." Said Lucifer.
"I just can't understand how can you all be so peaceful after just storming UN headquarters and killing half of politicians that were there." said Angela, "We have planned this for years now, and we have one of best intelligence in the world, no one can do anything without us noticing, and now to more important matters, in next 4 hours we will need to prevent massacre and war." said Lucifer as he pulled up two plans.
"Is that Watchpoint Gibraltar? And Kings Row?" Angela looked at Lucifer then Wilhelm and saw him smirking. "Thanatos, Lucifer, Angela are you up to go to Gibraltar?" Asked Wilhelm and looked at the people asked. Thanatos gave a nod and Lucifer laughed cracking his neck, "My bones are old, but I still have some strength in them." Now Wilhelms focus was at Angela, "I think I will take some of my men and join." She said looking at Lucifer.
She was wondering how will Lucifer fight, she knew that he was an assassin, but he was old now, she will need to cover him. "Well great, you will need to repel attack on Overwatch database and protect Winston, after that hold position and wait for us to join. While you do that I and Mike, and Mikael, so he could watch how we work we will protect Mondatta from assassin that have claimed way too many innocent lives." Said Wilhelm standing up form his chair. "I'll send you details, but now I need a shower and some food, that performance got me tired." He said walking off but just as he was at door he got pulled over the side by Althaisa.
"I understand that you want us to end you if you get consumed, but that doesn't make it easier." Althaisa said next to his ear. "I know, but time will come that you will need to do that, not anyone else, but you, because you are only one strong enough to do that." said young Lucifer looking down into the floor, "I have been wanting to give this to you for some time now," He pulled out a necklace out of his pocket, it was simple, but had a beautiful blue gem that emitted a blue glow.
"You know that I'm not one that wears such things." said Althaisa smiling. "Yeah I know, but I can bet you will wear it when you will learn to use it." said said Wilhelm, he looked back at Althaisa, smiled and started to walk away, "I trust you, and I hope you will hold your promise no matter of what I say at the moment" He said as he went inside elevator.
Althaisa leaned against the wall closing her eyes hoping the day would never come, when she would need to take life of his friend.
I'm sorry that this took so much time and is shorter than other chapters, but it marks the end of non-canon line of story and the start of changing history of known Overwatch story.
