Sorry for the long hiatus it's been a busy year for me. Not with the writers block and all. But enough about me lets get started with I guess you can call it season two of my story.
(Talon HQ) December 21, 11:03pm
"It's been too quite since they've announced their return." The bald man spoke.
"Perhaps they planning for nother attack against us." The mask man replied.
"Don't be so paranoid, they were basically exiled and now they have a new leader running Overwatch now. They need to regroup. Speaking of which where is Moira?" The woman questioned.
"We contacted her after the press conference, she informed us of her arrival and theory of a new project in dealing with Spark. I had Sombra also try and break through Overwatch's firewall in hope of learning of any secrets but so far her method have proved fruitless." The raven haired man said. "In other new we have communication with Akande."
"...And." The male silhouette finally spoke.
"He will be ready to leave tomorrow and rendezvous with the vanguard. Reaper is leading them." The mask man answered. "We've also got confirmation on the air and earth elemental. If we strike now prehaps we might be able to..."
"No." It was with one word did the room got colder. "The elemental is a plan that take a care amount of timing. If one iota of planning becomes a hinder because we rush than everything is unraveled. We will wait." He ordered.
"Of course sir."
"Is there anything else to add?" The silhouette asked.
"No sir." A unanimous voice spoke.
"Good. Dissmissed." He ordered. The people left the room leaving the man alone, he turned his chair around and screen opened up revealing recent new about Overwatch. "So what's your next move Jason?"
(Overwatch HQ, California) December 21, 1:43pm
"You're taking a vacation." Winston said, it wasn't a question but a statement once he saw Jason in his civilian wear.
"It's not a vacation it's a momentary leave of absent to recollect one self." Jason argued.
"It's a vacation." Tracer said dryly. "But the question is why?"
"...Because it's been a week since I basically called the United Nation, not to mention the whole civil debate going on about us being reinstated. As much as we want to get back to work we need to time to adjust. We can't do much now that we got eyes everywhere, so right now the best thing we can do is nothing." Jason explained.
"But what about Talon?" Phantom spoke. They're probably already having another plan executing at this very moment.
"Yes but, if we chase after it now it would only back lash at us now. They need to see that without us they don't have any control of what they can do. As much as we can deniy this the best chance we can do now is wait." Jason added. Putting a cap on and head for the jet.
"So where are you going?" Tracer asked.
"I was thinking on going to Numbani, lots of people, not to mention I can remain in the crowd with getting picked out so easily. Any of you guys are more than welcome to come."
"Thanks but after the whole Korean mess I, think I had my fill with out of state travel." Dante replied.
"I'd go but I think a talking super gorilla might turns some heads. Beside someone need to watch over the base while the rest of us are away." Winston added.
"And I have to head home, I'm pretty sure I worried a few people back in London." Tracer said. "You mind giving me a ride though?" She asked walking along side the hero.
"No problem, I'm only going to be there for a few days, I even took my suit with just in case."
"And you're sure you don't need some sort of back up?" Dante asked.
"I'm sure, if it's something I can't handle I'll be sure to contact you before I make my move. Scouts honor." He said holding up three fingers.
"You're not even a scouts!" Winston said.
"Can't hear you entering the jet now!" Jason yelled back running towards said jet.
"Wait." That was the case until Dante stopped him. "As much as I don't want to admit it your luck wouldn't last a day in any other country much less Numbina when you make a plan. So I'm coming with you wether you like or not."
"...Fine, just make sure to bring your suit with you." Jason replied, h already knew this was going to be long trip.
(Helix Security International, Location unknown) December 21 2:04pm
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
"How long he been going on like this?" A guard questioned. Hearing the wall echo from the outside.
"6 hours straight, we thought he went and finally cracked but he hasn't said a word. Should we stop him?" Another guard questioned.
"Don't you know anything that guy in there just so happens to be Doomfist the Doomfist, if anything we should more worried on the fact that Overwatch is back." The first guard spoke.
"Are you serious?! I thought they were decommissioned by the UN?!" The second guard asked.
"No that part is true. But somehow they've got the new guy in charge and apparently he stood up against the UN and told them off." The first guard explained unaware that the sound of punches were diminished. "Now almost every country are going head and tail wondering if Overwatch should be reinstated."
"Really it's all because of this conspiracy group Morrison talked about before he died. What was it again? Balon, C-claw? Uh-"
*THOOM*
The sound of a punch echoed right off the door, a left a deep imprint expanded out from said door.
*THOOOM*
The door shook from the force of the punch, but it was enough for the door to fall off their hinges. The guards were shocked by the force of the punch, the door it self was made by a blend of titanium and steel. To find it broken right on the floor. A man then walked out the room, without any effort and look between the two guard.
"We are known as Talon." The man spoke in a cold tone, his voice echoes within the prison. "Now tell me who is this new leader you spoke of?" Instead of answering the gaurd aimed their weapon upon the escapee ready to fire. If you looked closly there was a small smirk on the mans face. "...Very well."
(15 minutes later)
Right outside the wall of the prison a Talon carrier jet was left park on the ground with Reaper standing outside.
*KRA-THOOM*
The wall exploded, leaving a large hole by the wall with Akande walking out said hole.
"You're late." Was the first thing Reaper said to the now free convict.
"I was delayed. Tell what has happened." He said.
"Overwatch just basically told off the UN now their wondering if they should be back of not." Reaper summarized.
"And our recruits?"
"Awaiting orders. But in the mean time you've got yours." Reaper showed Doomfist a holographic photo of Spark. He is your objective, apparently he became the new leader of Overwatch." The shotgun wielder stated.
"And I assume the higher ups, need him gone?"
"On the contrary, our leader for whatever reason want you to test him. The last two test of ours went off without a hinge but they now thing that he needs someone who can push him over the edge. If you can defeat him your orders are to bring him alive."
"But he doesn't need to be moving in the end. Where is he now?" Doomfist questioned, looking over the review of Spark.
"He was last seen somewhere in Numbani, kind of poetic isn't it. The start of your up-rise begin at your downfall." Reaper said with his arms crossed. If he had looked behind him there he would see a small smirk etched on the fighters face.
(Numbani, Africa) December 21 3:04pm Jason POV
"This place is pretty cool huh?" I asked. I've only been here for about half an hour but this place was had this homely aura I couldn't help but feel.
"Yeah, I gotta say this place really puts the you in "you"topia huh huh?" I returned with a flat look on my face. "Tch, everybody's a critic." In moment like these it's a needed factor.
"What about you Artemis you liking the view?" I asked my resident AI
"I have to say, the data streaming in this place is amazing, I'm already using the this data wall to pinpoint-" Aaand she gone. Guess the fact that Numbani is a technological marvel for Omnic and AI it's a new place for ideas. Eh, I'll call her when the situation is needed.
"Well Artemis is going to be busy for a while. Who knew an AI can get childish side."
"I'm pretty sure everyone has a childish side. I'm going to call Winston to give him an update I'll catch up with you." I nodded and walked ahead enjoying the view of the city. I guess this is what is feel like to be a tourist in New York. This peaceful atmosphere is something Overwatch fought for, hell even I would fight for, it wasn't long after leaving the UN did I feel the weight when the team declared me as their new leader.
Maybe this was what Jack felt before he faked his death. The dragging weight on ones back, while having the world as a potential enemy, I instantly shook my head dashing this thoughts away. I'm not Jack, nor can should I ever try to be, this may be my title but not my burden to bare.
*VRRB VRRB*
*VRRB VRRB*
I looked over my phone to see that the number was unknown. The logical part of me wanted to ignore it but I knew that no one else had this number and even then Artemis is pretty busy in her own world. "This is Pierce."
"Jason I don't have a lot of time." The voice.
"Ameilia?"
"Listen to me Talon has stopped playing they know where you are and they're coming to you now! Sombra was able to give in a encrypted line for just this case but I don't know how long this'll last." I could hear the concern and fear from Widow's voice. This was something even she didn't expect.
"Alright, ow long till they get here?" I asked. But my answer already came when a carrier jet was already below buildings. "Never mind. I'll call you later."
"No Jason wait-!" But it was too late to regret that I already canceled our call and broke into a sprint looking for Dante.
"Artemis do you hear me?" I called out. When I didn't get a reply I knew I had to pull the "leader" role out. "Aretmis respond!"
"Wah! Sorry boss, got too in the digital world. What's going on?"
"I need you contact Phantom, got a call from an informant that Talon somehow pinpointed my location. Tell him we need to suit up."
"No need. Already got in contact by the time you said informant. I'm guessing the carrier jet flying by happens to be Talon lingo." Dante said. I slipped in to a nearby ally to change.
"That's right. I'm heading for higher ground, trying to see where they're landing, where are you?" I asked.
"No need to find them, their just parked above the airport terminal. I already hacked into their base and activated the fire alarm I'll let you know when something happens." Dante cut the call. By the time I finished changing there was a stray screaming out in the city, a few other people were running down the street. Which was a little confusing?
"Dante what going on?"
"Talon agents are spraying bullets out in the sky they're not even aiming at anyone, it's a classic scare tactic." They're basically calling us out. "I'm heading over there now you better hurry."
Immediately I used my Bolt to dash my way to the area. Once I was there I spotted the crowd gathering around the terminal with a numerous amount of OR15's having their sights on the building. Not seeing the sense of waiting around a by through the group and Bolted towards the building where I met up with Phantom.
"Took you long enough." Phantom snark.
"There was a bit a traffic." I spoke. I looked back and saw the new reporter already here. Police and OR15 meeting along side with us, as much as I wanted to go in with them, they needed to know that we're not doing this without their knowledge. The squadron stopped in-front of us
"I am the commander of this squadron. Who is your leader?" The commander spoke in English with a think accent. I stepped forward.
"That would be me. My name is Spark this is my partner Phantom." I gestured.
"Ah yes I've heard of your exploit at the UN in america. We are at your support." Huh. Glad to know that not everyone hates us. "What are we dealing with?"
"Talon." I answered already other officers stiffen their back at the name. "The reason their here is because of us, it's basically their way of a greeting."
"Then you would need our assistance." A stray officer spoke.
"No. Talon is here not to attack you but take us out, any outside help will be seen as an act of aggression towards them and they will retaliate. This not undermining your capability, what they want to do right now is create a statement and Overwatch has to be the one that answers." I explained. I walked forward without waiting for a reply, allowing Dante to give them the orders.
"You got the right idea, we really have no idea what Talon really want. So far every country they made a move on had a motive or a target and with them here in Numbani is nothing short of a coincidence." Artemis explained. I heard Dante catching up with us as we walking through the gate.
"I got them to ask a second defence, in case thing gets out of hand then they'll bring in the OR15." Phantom explained. It wasn't long till we were right below them at the center of the terminal. "I hacked into their systems cameras are out but body counts us to 4 people 2 of which are only pilots. Which mean?"
"Two agents." I finished. The bay door open from the jet and the first person jumps off and lands roughly in front of us in plume of black smoke. "Well well well, gotta say you make an way of saying hello Reaper."
"It wasn't for the lack of trying. But I figured with you here it's best make this moment memorable." Reaper spoke. Something was off with him, he seemed almost happy that we're here, that I'm here. "Do you know what this country was famous of beside the Omnic's?" He questioned.
Both Phantom and I looked at each other and wondered where he was going with this. But Dante was the first to answer.
"It was the same place members of Overwatch took down Akande Ogundimu otherwise know as Doomfist." Dante answered. "But why is that relevant?"
"Simple, ever heard the phrase a blast from the past." It took me a few second to contemplate on his words till my eyes widen in shock once I got the idea. It was at that moment the figure jumped down with landed shaking the very floor in front of us.
"No way. They didn't."
"Jason I'm sending a notice to everyone. I hacked into the security camera and they are streaming a live video to all online operatives. They'll need to see this." Artemis said.
'Let's just hope they're coping better than I am right now.'
(London, King's Row)
"So tell me about work, this new guy Jason or Spark as it were?" Emily; Tracer's girlfriend asked. It's been a while since she last spoke with Lena, while she was worried of her casual escapades when she only only got a call from here but no visit that was her time to be concerned.
"He's nice. After the whole UN trouble we had to lay low. Right now he's taking a "momentary leave of absent to recollect one self".
"So a vacation?" Emily asked.
"Yep." The two chuckled at the joke. "We also made him leader."
"Was that the right choice?"
"I don't know. It was a spur on the moment deal, I knew I couldn't do it and the other have their own problems." Tracer tried explaining.
"But Jason doesn't?"
"I didn't mean it like that. Everyone has a problem but most of them are connected to each other and right now the only thing connecting sparky is Talon." Tracer explained, pouring herself a glass there came an incoming message from Artemis, seeing no harm in it she opened it.
"But Talon isn't the only problem love."
*CRASH*
Emily quickly looked at the now scared Lena as she dropped her glass. She saw Tracer beginning to hyperventilate, she quickly went to her girlfriends side in hope to calm her down. "Lena, Lena ! Calm down take a deep breath. Look at me what wrong!" All Tracer could do was trembly point at a holo-screen with the veiw point of Spark. One she saw who was on the screen she then understood Lena's fear.
"...Doomfist."
(California, Overwatch HQ)
Winston and Angel could only watch in concern and fear as the video link came on screen.
"How in the world is the possible?" Winston whispered.
"Whatever the case is Spark needs backup and he needs it now." Angelia spoke.
"I'll call Lena." Winston said hoping to make it in time. 'Jason you better stay alive.'
(China, Zenyatta Monastery)
"This is troubling news." Zenyatta spoke. He and Genji were looking at a holo-screen that was sent to them. "Young Spark is up against someone far ahead of is league."
"He will need to remain calm and think. He will not allow him any room to breath if he panics." Genji added. His fist clenched at the reminisce of his battle with Doomfist. "We can only hope master."
"Yes...we can only hope."
(California, Eva's apartment)
"Oh this is really bad." Eva whispered. Se received a call from Winston. "Yeah...I know Artemis is sending me the same thing...Right I'll meet you there."
(Talon HQ)
"Now we will see what he has to offer." The silhouette spoke watching the camera feed Sombra managed to hack into along with his other subordinates. At the corner of the room Widowmaker watch with a expressionless face. But within her mind Amélie watch with intense fear and concern, there she prays that Jason would be alive to set her free one day.
(Numbani, Airport Terminal)
Jason looked at his opponent and could not help but feel the cold sweat reach down his back. Doing his best in controlling his breath at the maninfront of him.
"I have to say you really know make this dramatic." Jason spoke.
"I was told that you were a hinder to our plan. That you yourself have challenged us." Doomfist spoke.
"How did you get out?" Spark questioned. Akande chuckled at the question.
"I simply walked my way out." He said shocked the two heroes. "Of course with a few minor obstacles but nothing that didn't need persuasion."
"Just look over the camera footage from Helix's prison he really did walk out of here and punched through a wall for an exit. 2,113 gaurds in said prison and only 200 of them are even left uninjured." Artemis spoke through the radio. But it did little to ease Jason's nerve.
"Then try this as obstacle." Phantom spoke manifesting his scythe and dash towards the Nigerian warrior. But his efforts were shot when a shotgun blast veered him off course resulting him to crash to a near by wall with his back to the ground.
"Phantom!"
"Didn't anyone tell you that charging in head first get people killed." Reaper said walking toward the blood-man. Dante hearing this quickly got up and aimed his weapon at the death dealer.
"Did any one ever tell you you have an annoying habit of being where you're not welcome." Phantom growled. "Spark you think you can handle this for just a little while?"
"...I'm gonna have to." Said Spark brandishing his own weapons. Electricity sparking off his batons, while Doomfist weapon glowed with power. With impressive speed Akande dashed forward with his fist raised and thrown at the hero. 'Shit!'
Quickly Jason blocked tried to block the punch, but he forgot one cruical thing, Akande was using his gauntlet.
*BOOM! CRACK! TH-THOOM!*
In a matter of seconds Jason felt two of his bone crack from the pressure and went through 2 walls with just one punch. He gasped for air from such force, shakily he stood up and cradled his fractured arm. "A-Artemis?"
"Fractures in 4 different places, and dislocated shoulder! You are lucky to even have that arm!" Artemis yelled. "Power outlet 2 feet away. Get to it now!"
*BOOM*
"When Overwatch was shut down a challenge of the world was left unchecked. It is human to face challenges whether for your own or anyone else. But it is within those conflict do we truly evolve. The question is now child will you evolve with us?" Doomfist questioned. Jason glaring through his visor stepped close by the outlet and allow the electricity to heal his wound.
For each that past felt more like hour to Jason, already given the mantel of leadership and now he's facing an opponent way above his league. But now was not the time for worry or doubt, Doomfist was in front of him and he is ready to fight. And so is he.
"...Let's find out." Spark said coldly and dashed towards his opponent.
Yeah! After a very much needed break I'm back with a interesting shall I call it "New seaon" Doomfist is back and I found out there is also new characters like Moira and Brigitte to whom I'm happy to add to to this story. Also sorry for the disappearing act I pulled and I promise to try and keep it more consistent. This OCmanica signing off.
