Chapter 36
Overwatch travelled towards Russia as Fast as it can. The Ship was piloted by Athena while Tracer was being briefed on the situation. Winston typed up a few key locations around the factory and some information regarding their assignment. Soldier 76 was keeping an eye on the satellite video of the situation, making some strategies to counter the Threat. The Junkers were setting up some explosives and scrap for their usage. Mei, Mercy and Tracer were talking about random topics to keep their mind occupied. Bastion and Torbjorn were making sure the engine was running smoothly, Ganymede was perched on Bastion's shoulder. Hanzo and Genji were silent to one another, still pretty much on edge with each other "pretending" to be friendly with one another. Reinhardt was washing off some grime from his mace humming a Hasselhoff song.
"Well its official, from what I can gather on the attack, its definitely Talon, The soldiers on the outskirts of the factory all wear the black uniforms and carrying their tactical gear." Reported 76, as he loads his rifle. Winston finished his preparations and nods at 76. "Thank you... Alright team, I need your attention." Everyone looked at Winston, looking at Winston's Briefing. "Now, then... First off, I know this is all sudden after our engagement back in Antarctica and Eichenwalde, but this Mission is different from the other missions we had together." Junkrat crossed his arms. "How the 'ell is this any different from any other missions we had?" Winston looked seriously at the Junker. "We're going to do this mission with other people... from what I can look up, the Facility has its own defense force, meaning we have to check our fire... no more senseless destruction like we have been doing, we have to make sure we don't open fire on the wrong group, I hope you Junkers are prepared to make sure you don't hurt anyone from this mission except our intended enemy. Junkrat laughed manically. "Sure Mate, Whatever ya say, so long as we're gettin' paid." Roadhog nods his head grunting in acknowledgement. "Hrm, I still remember our bargain, so you best remember yours..." The Junkers didn't argue about it but they were glad to finally get something out of this. "Now that's settled; Here's what we know of Volskaya Industries."
Winston pulls up a map of the area. "This is the main factory where they create their weapons and the protectors, There are at least 4,000 personal working, 5,000 Security forces, and 300 Mechs that are used as both construction and security... Over there is a small villa that Certain personnel are allowed to live and work under there." Winston pulls up a profile of the CEO of Volskaya. "This is Katya Volskaya, the CEO of Volskaya Industries and a very influential Person of Russia, She was redeemed as a Hero of the People with her leadership and her Inventions to fight off the Omnics in Siberia.
Katya Volskaya is shown only in pictures no 3-D model's available. She is seen with her lab-coat, a tall looking, yet slender woman probably close to her late 30s to early 40s, Her hair was tied into a neat Russian style bun wearing thin yet rectangular earrings, she looked to be stern, but that's how one have to be when they're the most powerful person in Russia stern yet fair.
Bastion whirs sadly at this. "I know this place isn't a good place for you to return, but your assistance in this is vital Bastion, do not worry, you have friends here." Bastion looked around though he still fears for his life by the Junkers, he can see that the others are more open minded of him being with Overwatch, he Simply nods and pets Ganymede which bastion decided to take with him since the weather wasn't deathly freezing as in Antarctica. "Anyway, She has been busy creating new Mechs and Weapons to help aid Russian cities from any future attacks, granted they have enough firepower to take over smaller countries or take over the world, however with her influence she managed make sure that her creations are built on defensive purposes never to attack others without cause." Winston continued his briefing. "Now I have tried to get in contact with her for sometime when we saw the attack back at Gibraltar, however the Phone service has been cut off entirely around the area, making it separated from the rest of Russia, in short... We're going to be their support." Junkrat only laughs maniacally. "And they're the strongest superpower, they can't even keep a fackin' Phone line from droppin'!" Roadhhog only groans at his Boss' bad joke.
Winston shook his head. "That's all the information of the Location we're going to, 76 will present the plan." All focus goes to Soldier 76 who pulls up the live satellite feed of the whole battle. "Alright team, the enemy look to be strong in numbers, and heavily armed to the teeth, I seen what tactics these Agents use, and they'll use anything to get their goal, Ranging from pure brute force, bullets and Biological weapons if the need should ever arise." 76 zooms in on the Border to the base. The image shows Reaper gliding through the battlefield gunning down the Defenders, some of the Riflemen were shot through the head from long range. "And It looks like Reaper and Widowmaker are leading the attack as well." Torbjorn looked at the factory area and squinted his eye. "Hey, why aren't the defenses online?" Soldier 76 zoomed in on some of the sentry turrets realizing they aren't firing back. "What the... That's not right." Athena's voice was heard over the intercom. "Attention We are now over Volskaya, All agents proceed to-" Suddenly the ship Jolts around, surprising the whole team. "Athena, Status report!" Winston scrambled to the front. Athena then stated. "Warning, Enemy forces are firing in the air, Anti-aircraft weaponry are bombarding us, Suffering damage 10%" The Ship's engine was struck a direct flak shell. "Make that 75% and We are losing altitude." The ship begins to dive down, fires began to erupt around the ship. All the agents held on to what ever they could. "DAMN IT, EVERYONE BALE OUT!" Barked 76 as he rushed towards the door, the ship continues to be bombarded with flak shells.
76 opens the door on the ship by kicking the door open as it was loose enough from the damage, he held on to a bar by the door. A gust of wind begins to pull at the team, Tracer was the first unlucky victim being pulled out of the ship as her grip wasn't strong enough to hold, She was sucked out screaming.
"TRACER!" Shouted McCree as he lets go of his anchor rushing to a parachute by the ship's locker and jumping out after her. "EVERYONE GRAB A PARACHUTE AND START JUMPING!"
Genji and Hanzo grabbed their chutes and quickly jumped out of the ship.
Reinhardt Grabs Torbjorn like a football and without thinking used his thrusters to charge out of the ship Roaring "FÜR EHREN!" ("FOR HONOR!"), Torbjorn began to scream in pure horror as they rocketed out of the ship.
Roadhog tried to grab Junkrat only for another blast to strike the ship, causing him to lose his balance and smash against Winston, causing them both to fall out towards the ground.
Bastion was unable to keep his own balance, keeping Ganymede safe in his compartment until another blast makes a hole on the other side of the ship, causing him to slip and fall towards the ground Whirring in a high pitch noise in Absolute terror.
Junkrat fumbled around since he can't handle standing up thanks to his peg-leg and bumps into Mei who grabbed a parachute just in time only for the two of them to fall out.
Mercy and Soldier 76 are the only ones left on the ship. "Soldier, we have to go now!" Soldier 76 looked at Mercy then at the ship controls before realizing to use the situation. "Go on without me, I'll make sure to give them hell!" Without a second to spare, he rushes towards the ship's control and guides it towards a large contingency force of the Talon agent's attackers. The flak continues to smash through the hull, until a piece of metal impales on his leg. Soldier yells in pain, as his leg was pierced through. He tries to head towards the door only to fall. "Damn it... I'm going down with this damn ship..." he muttered to himself. As he he struggles to move, someone grabs him by his arm. "I got you 76." Said Mercy as she holds onto him, they both reach the door, the fire spreading around the ship, ready to blow. She looks to the ground and jumps off with 76 in her arms. With the aid of her Valkyrie battle suit, her Wings emit a warm heat that causes a hovering effect, gliding them towards Volsakya Industries. "Do not fear Soldier... I got you." 76 lifts his head and looked at Mercy, He chuckles lightly and responds. "Thanks... for being my guardian Angel." Mercy giggles at the remark. "You don't need to thank me, after all we're comrades." 76 nods his head. "Right..." He turns his head to see the burning ship fall towards the Talon agents. Some of them retreated, but they were unable to escape the fiery inferno, The ship crashed, Destroying many of the Invaders, some crushed by the burning wreckage, some were unlucky to be burned alive by the raging hell they received. One things for sure, this little stunt 76 attempted worked and they will have little problems with any reinforcement, however there are stil soldiers in the facility and Villa, It will be a hard fought battle.
'I'm coming for you Reaper... You and every last one in Talon.' Soldier 76 mused to himself as they glide over to the base. Mercy looked down to the ground and the firefighting that they will be a part of. 'I hope everyone is safe.' She thought to herself, keeping her grip tight around 76 as they prepare to land.
