They arrived just un time to engage the Talon Forces. Bastion taking defense position as Orisa put a shield in front of him to avoid taking damage. Angela stayed with them, boosting Bastion's firepower. Lena, Hana and Lucio were looking for Emily. Luckily, they found her on her and Lena's apartment.
"Lena!" She said, hugging her love.
"Emily! I was so worried! Are you ok?" Emily cup her checks with her hands.
"I am now that you are here." She said, kissing Lena.
"Good, Emily is fine. Let's go, we need to help Bastion and the others." Said Lucio.
"We cannot leave her!" Said Tracer.
"Take Emily to the ship, Lena. She'll be safer there than with us. We still need to stop Talon." Said Hana. Lena looked to her girlfriend, concern written on her face. But Emily only smiled and nodded to her. Lena took her hand and lead her to the ship, leaving Lúcio and Hana to go to help the others.
It seems that Talon learned from their last encounter with Bastion. They've upgraded their armor, capable of holding against his firepower. But Bastion received and upgrade as well. After his battle against Stealth, Bastion asked Torbjörn for piercing bullets. At first, the small man was reluctant to comply, but at the end he saw true in Bastion's reasons. Even if Talon upgraded their armor, Bastion still can pierce it. Bastion, Orisa and Angela were surrounded by Talon forces. Orisa's shield is protecting them, but it won't last long. It is starting to tear itself apart. Just before the shield was destroyed, Lucio and Hana appeared and engaged them, giving time for Orisa to put anther shield, completely repaired.
"Hana! Lucio! Did you find Emily?" Asked Angela.
"Yes, we found her! Lena is taking her to the ship. I don't think that she'll join us soon, by the way." Answered Lucio.
"That's ok. As long as Emily is safe. We can handle this. We have E54 with us." Said Orisa, firing to a Talon soldier that appeared behind them. They continue like that for about 15 minutes before Talon activated the payload before arriving to their goal, making Bastion's systems failing. Orisa, though, because she's got modern technology, wasn't affected by it, but the group's firepower decreased considerably.
"Bastion!" Shouted Hana as she fly toward him, Orisa and Angela. Lucio following as well. Bastion was sparking all over, his systems trying ad failing to keep Bastion operative. He was chirping and complaining all over it.
"We cannot hold up against Talon without Bastion. We have to fall back!" Said Angela, who was trying to make Bastion's systems to restart themselves, but it as hard due to the wave of the payload.
"Lena! Lena, can you hear me?" Said Lucio through the com.
"Yeah. What happened? Are you all right?"
"Not exactly. Talon activated the Payload, making Bastion to spark all over. We need back up."
"I'll call HQ and see what they can do. Do you need me to go there?"
"No, Lena. Stay with Emily. We'll be fine. Don't worry. Said Angela.
"I've got an idea!" Hana said.
"What is it, Hana-" Angela was cut off when Hana launched herself to Talon, and activated the Self Destruct sequence.
"Hana!" They shouted. When the MEKA exploded, the Talon forces were defeated on its radius.
"Ok, that should buy us time." She said.
"But what about your MEKA?"
"Don't worry about it, Lucio. In ten minutes will arrive another one."
"Time that we may not to have." Said Angela. "Help me resorting Bastion." Hana nodded and went to her friends side, looking for anything that could be of help. After a few minutes, they managed to get running Bastion's basic systems.
"Bastion, are you alright?" Asked Lucio.
"Beep boop twirt."
"E54 says that he's fine, but no longer an he transform into his Tank Mode. He'll need help from either Winston, Hammond or Torbjörn to restore it. Also, he cannot make his left hand work properly. But the good new is that he can still change into Sentry mode." Translated Orisa.
"Okay, at least we still have firepower." Said Angela.
"Guys? Are you alright?" Came Lena's voice from the com.
"Yeah, we are. Are you alright?" Asked Angela.
"Yeah. Reinhardt just arrived from Germany. He's coming toward you. Emily and I will return to the base."
"Good. Stay safe." Said Lucio.
"We got this, Lena!" Said Hana.
"Okay, I'm here. What's the situation?" Said a strong and friendly voice.
"Reinhardt!" Said Hana, hugging him. Reinhardt returned the hug as well with his eft hand, leaving his hammer on his relight one.
"I see that you're having some trouble. Well, Germany precision has arrived!" He said proudly.
Bastion looks towards the clock, zooming with his optic, and saw more Talon forces approaching.
"Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!" He said, changing into Sentry mode. Everyone looked to that direction, and got ready as fire was coming to them. Bastion positioned himself in a corner, Reinhardt in front of him with Angela boosting Bastion. Orisa, Lucio and Hana got into another one, firing behind the shield.
"Dam, I cannot do much without my MEKA." She said.
"You said five minutes ago that it needs 10 minutes. We just need to hold for five more so you can call it again." Said Lucio.
"But still. I feel useless without it." She whispered.
The battle continues for a few minutes, Hana managed to call her MEKA and started fighting Talon. Lucio on her tail, boosting her speed or healing the MEKA. Reinhardt made a few charges, taking care not to get into too much trouble with Bastion providing fire cover. Angela giving boost and heal. Flying around to help either Hana, Orisa, Reinhardt, Lucio or Bastion.
Bastion was concerned. Why hasn't Talon used again the payload to make him again useless? That is when it made sense so him. It was a distraction!
Instantly, Bastion changed into Recon mode and made his way to the Underworld. Hana took notice of this and screamed at him.
"Bastion! Where are you going?! We need your firepower!"
"E54, wha are you doing?" Asked Orisa. Everyone of the group shouted to Bastion, but he payed them no mind as he continued walking to the Underworld.
"What happened?" Asked Angela, looking to him.
"I don't know. May be he needs something to do or-" Hana was cut off by the coms.
"Guys! Talon Forces have arrived to the Underworld! They are about to activate another EMP charge!" Lena's voice was heard. Everyone looked at each other in shock before charging to the Underworld, Lucio speed boosting them. As they were near, they could clearly heard Bastion firing. When they arrived, they saw that Talon is almost ready to accomplish their objective. The EMP charge is set to activate in two minutes. Time which, they don't have.
"We have to stop the charge from activating!" Said Orisa.
"But we can't reach it in time!" Said Hana.
"Well, either way, we need to do something now!" Exclaimed Reinhardt.
"Ok! Let's break it down!" Lucio screamed as a blue-greenish aura surrounded them.
"Let's go!" He screamed. Everyone charged into the battle, firing Talon agents, knowing full well that they got a limited amount of time before the aura disappeared. They managed to defeat most of them, bu the time on the clock was 45 seconds left.
"Bastion! See if you can connnect to the charge and disable it! We will cover you!" Said Hana, absorbing Talon fire. Reinhardt used his Hammer to make Talon fall on the ground. Angela healing, as did Lucio. Orisa providing a shield to Bastion as he put his repairing tool on a small entrance on the EMP charge. As he entered the charge's systems, more Talon forces were arriving. Now, Two Heavy Talon troops arrived, firing at Overwatch's group.
"We can't hold much here!"
"We have to, Angela! We have to! Otherwise Talon will win!" Screamed Hana. Before anyone could answer, a flash of blue dashed to face Talon. Lena. She put a bomb on each of the Heavy Talon forces, slow them down.
"Lena!" They screamed.
"Okay, Emily is safe. Ana is with her. Jack and Winston will get here soon." She Said breathlessly.
"Okay, we need to buy Bastion more time." Said Reinhardt.
"I've got you in my sights!" Screamed Jack as he jumped down, firing to Talon as Winston jumped enraged, throwing back enemy forces.
Together they slowed Talon until Bastion gave his usual sounds.
"Tweeeeet!" He said as electricity shot through his body and on the charge. Stepping backwards, Bastion fell to the ground.
"Bastion!" Said Hana, coming to his side. Orisa checked the charge and said. "The charge is disabled!"
"Thank goodness." Said Lena.
"Okay, enough cheering up and more firing!" Said Jack. Hana though, didn't start firing again. Concerned by her friend, she remained by his side.
"Hana! Get here and help us!" Said Lucio
"But Bastion-!"
"He'll be fine, Hana. Don't worry. I'll check him now. Go, you can help more than I." Said Winston coming to her left flank and activating his big shield and then taking his tools to aid Bastion. Hana, reluctantly, turned away and helped the rest of her team to fight Talon's last forces. Winston was working as fast as he could on Bastion, reactivating his modes and restart programming. Winston had to put his left hand over his head to avoid an explosion that occurred near him. His shield giving away its last energy and broke as Angela was hurt and screamed in pain, hitting Lucio in the process. Orisa managed to put a shield in front of both of them as Reinhardt and Hana got behind his shield, protecting Winston and Bastion. Bastion managed to restart himself and he looked around him. He saw Lucio and Angela in danger.
Danger...
He saw Orisa in danger.
Danger.
He saw Winston, Reinhardt and HANA in danger.
DANGER!
He git up, red optic shining brightly and got into Tank mode as he saw that his fiends were in danger. What he did not count was a huge boost of his systems, improving his damage and attack speed. He fired and fired, making explosions around him, firing every single Talon force he saw, he did not mind the screams of pain, nor the screams of his friends to stop. His nay goal was to decimate their forces. His time on Tank mode was finished, as did the boost. Looking behind him, he saw everyone looking at him with caution. Their arms raised at him. Only one person got brave enough to approach him. Hana. His dark blood-red optic followed her very movement.
"Bastion calm down. Everything is fine." She said. Bastion's red optic changed rapidly between red and blue, until it finally settled on the soft blue Hana knows.
"That's it." She said softly, moving calmly until she reached him. "We've won." She said.
"That was pretty dangerous, Hana. Said Ana. Emily and Lena were hugging each other behind her, looking at Bastion with concern in their eyes.
"I know, Ana. But I knew that I had to do it." Hana answered. Ana face palmed and sighed.
"I won't understand the young."
"Anyway, thanks Ana for showing when you did." Said Angela, already healed thanks to both her nanobots inside her systems and Ana's own.
"I wanted to boost the old man, but the robot got in the way. Peaking of which, are you alright Bastion?" She asked. Bastion looked at her and nodded.
"Okay, since we've won here, let's head back to the ship. We need to inform England's government about this." Said Jack.
"Agreed. Now that justice has been done, we can breath now." Said Reinhardt. Everyone nodded and headed back to the ship.
Unknown to everyone there, is that a certain purple person was smiling as she watched them return. She then put her com closer to her mouth.
"The virus has been implanted." She said.
"Good. Keep watching over it, Sombra." Said a dark voice. Sombra chuckled and teleported back to her own ship.
