Chapter 38

The fighting continued around Volskaya industries, sounds of gunfire sound through out the area, blood spilt on the ground and walls, and the bodies torn apart by the bullets littered the floors. The RDF and Talon forces kept fighting within the large factory including in the villa, while the agents of Overwatch tried to get their bearings together and attempt to regroup. Winston and Roadhog finished off a squad of Talon soldiers. As the battle died down, the RDF grabbed their wounded,retreating to a safer location until further orders. Winston went online with his communicator and called for the rest of the team while Roadhog was cleaning his weapons with a bloody rag, on occasion crushing a wounded soldier with his heavy foot against their heads.

"Is anyone on this frequency, this is Winston, Anyone report?" After a moment of silence Soldier 76's voice was heard, though he was sounded a little ragged. "This is 76, Mercy and I landed nearby the villa, though its heavily guarded by Talon soldiers and agh!" Mercy's voice was soon heard on the same line. "Shush 76, Or you'll get us both caught." Soldier 76 retorted harshly. "Well sorry to break it to you Doc, but I tend to work alone, so I deal with my injuries after a god damn-" Mercy pulled something out of 76 who quickly shuts his mouth and grits his teeth as he seethes in pain. Mercy took over the line. "Sorry Winston, 76 suffered an impalement from a piece of metal from the ship before it crashed, I'm trying to pull it out so I can properly sterilize and heal it." Roadhog smashed another wounded Talon agent with his boot, laughing at how much blood and brain matter flew out like a popped tomato, which gives Winston a bit of a disgusted look, then returned his focus to 76 and Mercy. "I understand, are you located anywhere near the factory?" Mercy responded calmly. "We managed to get ourselves inside one of the buildings in the villa, however I can hear close gunfire and explosions, so we're not exactly safe." 76 grits his teeth and groans loudly as he finally removes the metal piece out of his leg, blood was pooling under him, but once Mercy applied a bandage and a little bit of her healing ray, 76's leg was finally healed, however Mercy's healing light was spotted by a Talon agent. "Hey, I see something over there!" Mercy quickly reported. "Winston, we've been spotted."

76 hushed her, as he stands up, grabbing a knife from his boot and waited for the agent to come close, until he heard quick rapid gunshots take out the guard followed by a loud bang and flash then three more shots fired as the sounds of bodies fall to the ground. 76 moved his knife out a little bit to see Tracer and McCree dealing with the agents. "Oh thank god... its just McCree and Tracer." Soldier 76 lowered his knife, sheathing it back in his boot. Mercy was finally relieved and walked around the corner. "Lena, McCree, It good to see you two are ok!" The two agents were startled by Mercy, but relaxed to see a friendly face. "By jov love, you're a sight for sore eyes!" Without a single thought, she rushed up and hugged the healing angel, McCree sheathed his Peacekeeper, he tilts his head to see Soldier 76 walking towards them, his weapon resting on his shoulders. "Glad to see to you're doin' alright partner, thought you done got yourself killed." 76 chuckled slightly. "Don't cut me short... I may be old, but I'm still kicking." McCree chuckled and pats 76 on the back. "Glad to hear it... Have you got a hold of the others?" McCree asked as he pulls a cigar from his pouch and lights it casually. "We managed to get a hold of Winston before we met up with you... speaking of which." Mercy placed her hand on her earpiece and tried to get in contact with Winston. "Mercy, are you alright?" The scientist asked all worried for his team mates. "Its alright Winston, We just got caught up with Tracer and McCree." Winston sighed in relief from the other side. "Good, good... just stay at the villa, One of the RDF soldiers told me that they'll soon be sending a force there to retake the villa, just watch your fire and clear out any Talon agents that are in the vicinity, Roadhog and I will try to catch up, maybe find the others on the way." Mercy nods her head, Understanding the situation. "Alright Winston, Just stay safe, I'll tell the others." Winston grunts in approval, followed by heavy wheezing on the other end. "If you see the Rat, just make sure he doesn't cause trouble... I dislike having to clean up his mess." Mercy shook her head. "Alright Roadhog, just keep Winston safe for me... Please?" A heavy snort-like grunt sounded like an agreement, which was enough for Mercy.

Meanwhile Junkrat and Mei were being bombarded with bullets, it would seem Junkrat's clunky prosthetics caused so much noise from sneaking around, it caught an interest to some of the Talon patrol units. "Damn drongos are really high strung aren't they?" Junkrat stated casually as he launched his grenades towards the covered Talon agents, unfortunately they are unable to get any close without losing a limb or their lives as they already suffered some casualties from Junkrat's grenade lobbing mania. "Maybe that's because they're fighting with other soldiers!" Mei was holding onto her legs, shaking furiously, Despite promising herself she wouldn't be near Junkrat throughout the mission, but she has to keep her head down as he continued to go ballistic with his offensive firing, she almost regrets leaving Antarctica, at least it was quiet. "Oi, I didn' start this war... So I plan to finish it with a BANG!" He pulls out his tire and sets it on the ground, prepping it to be unleashed. The remaining Talon agents thought the mad bomber was out of explosives and used this opportunity to quickly move in for the kill, only to dread in fear in mid-movement as they hear. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Junkrat's Rip-tire roars to life and charges towards the Talon agents, within range, Junkrat pressed the detonator on his arm, the rip-tire explodes tearing the remaining agents in bits and pieces as the engine sound stops...it was quiet in the end. "Hm... seems I got 'em all." Junkrat stated proudly as he stood up, taking a gander at his masterpiece, he takes a big whiff of the smell of sulfur and burnt rotting carcass. "Ah... Just like home... See Snowflake? I tol' ya, I am a proffess-" Suddenly Junkrat was interrupted by a butt-end of a rifle as he was sent sprawling on the ground and on his back, his mouth bleeding and bruised, as he laid there stunned, a remaining Talon agents points his gun at the Junker, unaware of the Mei's presence. "Got you, god damn Junker... Should've stayed in the outback with the rest of your fucking trash collecting freaks of nature... eh, no matter... You're going to die... no point lamenting your sad life." Junkrat growled as the agent cocked his gun. Mei looked at her endo-thermal blaster and breathed in deeply. "Say goodnight, Junker." Junkrat grits his teeth and placed his hand on his vest, awaiting death to take him, if he's gonna die... He'll at least take this drongo with him. However before the agent could pull the trigger, he began to freeze up, literally a cold blast envelops his body and soon he was frozen in place and then an ice spike rips through his head, smashing pieces of his head to the ground like ice cubes. After three seconds the agents thawed out but fell to the side dead on impact. Mei was seen shakenly steadying herself as she held her blaster. Junkrat chuckled lightly as he lets go of his vest. "A-are you ok, Junkrat?" She said almost quietly though still shaking at what she had done. Junkrat stood up, rubbing his jaw. "Yeah... I'll be alright Snowflake... but what the hel' you done to him?" Mei looked at her victim and fixed her glasses a little. "I... I just froze him and then blasted a shard of ice into his head..." She said almost regrettably. Junkrat looked at her and chuckled more manically. "Damn Sheila, that's cold..." Mei grimaced at the sight of the dead agent. "I never killed anyone before..." Junkrat's wicked smile began to loosen as it becomes humorless. "Well... Ya kille' him to save me... tha' somethin' right?" Mei lifted her glasses and wiped her eyes, almost as if she was crying. "C-can we find the others...please?" Junkrat sighs heavily and looked around to hear footsteps. "Yeah...I think we overstayed our welcome... Come on!" He pulls Mei away from the scene as Talon reinforcement arrives to witness a gruesome scene.

Meanwhile Bastion was still running away as he was still being chased by the RDF trooper, who was still blasting his particle cannon. Ganymede continued to lead Bastion through the Factories alley ways and buildings until he perched on a shoulder of a ninja. Genji looked at the bird and moved his finger over the little bird. "Ganymede, What are you doing here?" Genji asked the little bird in a friendly manner as he pets the bird, Hanzo was pulling an arrow out of a dead Talon sniper, he noticed Ganymede and sheathed his arrow. "If Ganymede is here then where is-?" Hanzo's Question was prematurely answered by a loud robotic screech. "WHIIR VHIIR!" The Shimada brothers looked down at the ground to see Bastion cornered by the RDF soldier, The Particle cannon was being charged to full power, ready to destroy the Omnic survivor. "I'll see you in hell, Omnic..." He said in a distorted voice. Bastion lifted his hands in an emotion he never felt before "fear" as he waits to be destroyed Genji jumps in and kicks the soldier in the face then backflips in between Bastion and the Soldier. "I don't think its a good idea to harm my friend, soldier." The RDF soldier shook his head and looked at Genji, unknowingly realizing he is a cyborg and automatically assumes its another Omnic. "So you do have friends Omnic... Very well, I'll take great pleasure of ripping you both to pieces, отвратительный (Filthy) Omnics." Genji prepares his Katana to prepare to defend his team mate, as the soldier readies his particle cannon, Hanzo lets loose a blunt arrow towards the trooper only for him to look up and have his white mask ripped off. "Got him!" Hanzo declared.

"Agh...That stings like hell.." a feminine yet Muscular toned voice came from the Soldier as he or Rather "she" rubs her face from Hanzo's attempt at knocking her out. "What in..." She looked up at Hanzo and stared in shock. "A human helping an Omnic... Now you are part of shit list." She takes off her hat and placed it in her pocket. Once her hat was removed, her hair looked to be styled to be something of a Russian rocker colored in Pink, her face looked youthful but yet very angered as she is dealing with Three opponents and above her right eye was a scar that looked to resemble a cross with one short and one long that goes over her eyebrow away from the eye.

The female trooper grips onto her particle cannon and fires a small ball of energy at the roof, however upon impact it destroys the roof and pushed Hanzo to the ground, leaving a burn on his arm. "The crazy soldier isn't a joke, brother..." Groaned Hanzo as he picked himself up, leaning against his bow. Genji draws out three shurikens from his arm and in a blink of an eye he throws them in a straight line towards the RDF trooper. She lifts her arm up in time for all three shurikens to break apart on impact. "Little stars are no match for Russian steel, little Omnic." Genji scoffs at the woman. "Really now... then lets see if your steel can match mine." Genji draws his Katana and charges forward, in a single jump her runs along the building's wall then jumps again, attempting to cut down the soldier, but to Genji's misfortune, the woman raised her particle cannon blocking the sword's blade then with one swift Hook punch, she sent Genji flying towards Hanzo knocking the two brothers to the ground, Genji's abdomen had the imprint of a fist with deeper smaller indents around the knuckle area, Genji opened his mask and coughed out blood. The woman stopped for a moment and saw Genji was a cyborg. "So little Omnic is actually Cyborg... still that gives you no right of helping the enemy." She stated harshly as she lifts her particle cannon for the kill. Hanzo once again picked himself off after pushing his brother aside and helping him up. "I didn't wish for this to come upon you... if you can not see reason, then I'll send you to hell..." Hanzo pulls out an arrow from his quiver and pulls back. Blue energy revolves around the arrow head. "Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau!" As he lets the arrow soar the Shimada dragons appear and roar in rage as they envelop the soldier.

The steam from the energy had melted the snow, leaving Bastion and the Brothers some rest, knowing they have defeated an RDF soldier. "I think...we don't tell Winston about this... Hai?(yes?)" Genji looked at his brother as he spits out some blood. "Hai..." Bastion repaired most of his systems while the brothers protected him, he looked forward to scan the destruction and notices a heated ball of... energy? "Vheew Whiir?" The Brother stared at Bastion then noticed a sound of footsteps crushing the snow.

"Impossible." Hanzo stared in disbelief

"Kono kaibutsu wa daredesu ka? (Who is this Monster?)" Genji mutters in shock and amazement.

The soldier walks past through the steam, covered in a pink ball of energy. The ball of energy suddenly retract, The woman's skin was literally seething off energy, crackles of red energy moving around her body like electrical currents, her particle cannon was glowing as well, the small blue ball in the machine was now glowing red hot with energy. She cracks her neck. "Thank you for energy little man... Now I'll obliterate you all." She stated in a devious smile. She grips onto the cannon with both her hands and fires off a ball of energy at the three agents. The brothers quickly moved out of the way by climbing the walls on the sides of the alley way while Bastion quickly jumped forward, barely missing the ball of energy as it impacts the wall behind him, collapsing the wall from the burning forceful energy. Bastion lifts his head and quickly stood up as the trooper began to walk towards him, charging up her cannon to finish the job. Ganymede chipped loudly at Bastion behind him and flies into the blown hole, with no other alternative, Bastion runs quickly through the smoke and blown out metal of the building unsure of where his little friend is taking him. The Trooper kept her pursuit of her target. "This is Zarya, I am still in pursuit of the Omnic, It's accompanied by two humans, one of them is a cyborg." On the other end of the communicator the commander acknowledged Zarya's update. "Understood, have they been dealt with?" Zarya tsked to herself. "Negative... They escaped before I could finish them off." The commander once again Acknowledged the report. "Very well, they'll be dealt with in time, right now you must quickly destroy this Omnic before it escapes the factory grounds then you must report to the front lines, The enemy are still on the march, I need the men to know that the Hero of Russia is with them in their defense." Zarya was silent for a moment in her train of thought and replied. "Understood, I'll return as soon as its dealt with, he is heading to the factory's Gunnery terminals, there will be no where left to run... I'll be there soon, Over and out." Zarya shuts off her communicator and soon her body looks to be back to normal, her energy has depleted but not her spirit as she rushes after Bastion.

The Shimada brothers regrouped back together once Zarya was out of sight. Genji was holding onto his stomach, hurling in pain on occasion as he was never punched that hard in his life. "She is very strong... maybe stronger then Reinhardt." Genji said in shock as he stared at the smoking hole from the building. Hanzo grabs Genji's arm and pulls him over his shoulder to lean on. "Come... We must find the others before We're found by the RDF... Or worse, Talon." The younger Shimada nods as they both left the area.

Reinhardt and Torbjorn rushed forward towards the terminal where the RDF's turrets and defenses are supposed to be located. upon arrival, they found four dead RDF engineers, looked to be gunned down by a small semi-automatic machine gun. "Agh... Poor souls, They looked as if they never stood a chance..." Reinhardt said sadly as he kneeled down to inspect the bodies. "Well, they were only armed with Engineering tools and pistols... Not much for armor and other defenses." Torbjorn stated in a grumpy tone as he examined the terminal, he whistles fondly however as he examines the terminal. "Min Gud vad en skönhet! (My god what a beauty!)" Stated the Swedish dwarf as he examines the terminal. "This is a Mark XXIV system defense grid, Finest in both Swedish AND Russian Technology, the finest for beefed up security." Reinhardt stood up and placed his hammer on his shoulder and looked over his smaller friend's shoulder. "That is Amazing... What does that mean?" Torbjorn looked at the German knight with a very disgusted face and explained. "It means this is the FINEST piece of technological work in the Jävla (Fucking) world min vän (My friend)... Hell Vishkar even uses it as their security network as well." Reinhardt tilts his head. "Really now... How do you know this?" Torbjorn was busy trying to activating the system but answered shortly. "I read it in an article... Now shut up and let me work." Reinhardt shrugged his shoulders as he looked around.

As Torbjorn was trying to activate the Factory's defense system, He was suddenly shocked and kicked off from the terminal landing on his back with his beard frizzled from the shocking impact. "Torbjorn mein friend, are you ok?!" Said Reinhardt as he sets his mace on the cold ground and shakes his friend to life. Torbjorn pushes his large hands off him. "Get off me, I'm fine you big bastard..." Reinhardt backed off while Torbjorn stood up and looked at the termianl. On the Screen was a 3-D hologram of a Latin art styled skull and with a feminine Latina voice saying. "Ah, ah, ah... Sorry, Muchachos, but this terminal is out of commission for a while, well... Until Talon takes the factory, lo siento... NOT, AHAHA Ahhh... Anyways good luck getting this thing back online while we go ballistic on the factory... You'll need it, Adios Boop!" Torbjorn growls a little then chuckles lightly. "So... She's with those fuckers..." Reinhardt picked up his mace and looked at Torbjorn. "Who, Mein friend?" Torbjorn looked at Reinhardt in a serious tone saying. "Sombra."

Suddenly as Reinhardt was about to ask who Sombra was, a loud explosion erupted behind them and out running from the smoke was Ganymede who lands on Torbjorn's claw followed by Bastion who stumbled a little then falling on to the ground, behind him was Zarya who finally caught him, she slams her foot on his back and placed the cannon to his face. "Finally... Now I can finish you and get back to my comrades." Bastion never felt this emotion in his Computerized life, As he looked into his data files, he wondered was this "fear" he felt?... It Didn't matter, he was going to die, as he awaits for an energy blast to rip off his head. Reinhardt yelled out. "Hey you... What are you doing to our friend!?" Zarya lifts her head to see Reinhardt, Torbjorn and the dead soldiers. "Чертовы суки(Fucking bitches)... You killed my comrades!" She steps off Bastion, grabbing him by the shoulder then tossing him effortlessly to the side. "You two are going pay for coming to my motherland and causing this destruction, you and this Omnic are going to pay... I'll take great pleasure in beating you to death." She threatened Reinhardt as she charges her particle cannon. Torbjorn looked at her uniform and identified her as an RDF soldier. "wait, Wait... We're not your enemy!" Zarya spits on the ground. "Likely words..." Reinhardt grips onto his mace and puts his hand out to Torbjorn. "No use talking to her, Mein friend... I know Russians very well... Once they see something they dislike... Without immediate proof they'll just keep fighting until they're proven wrong... Get Bastion out of here, I'll take her on." Torbjorn looked at Reinhardt. "But she's RDF, we're trying to help them." Reinhardt nods his head. "I know, but she doesn't see it like that... Take Bastion and find Winston... I'll be alright." Torbjorn looked at the angry woman and nods. "Alright... if you say so... just be careful, your suit wasn't finished in repairs, just be wary of that..." Reinhardt nods at his smaller friends word as he quickly rushes to Bastion and with all his strength pulls him away from the fight about to ensue, Ganymede lands on bastion offering him some sort of support just being there for his friend, Bastion pats his little friend weakly as he is being pulled away. Zarya walks over to Torbjorn to stop him only to be blocked by a Mace landing in front of her. "This is between you and me..." Zarya scoffs thinking she doesn't have time for this. "Very well... if you Surrender and get out of my way, then I fight my way through..." With a swift kick, Reinhardt's Mace swung him backwards spinning a little until he finally got back on his feet, he looked at the Zarya and gripped his Mace. "I will protect the weak and defenseless... that includes my allies... I shall be the wall to stop you."

The two warriors looked at one another and readied themselves to fight.
