The city of Zürich shows gaps, dents and smoking holes as the Deception forces continue to pump fire into it and get back sporadic return fire from inside courtesy of Team Prime.
"Great! Megatron's making his big push and we can't even push...back!" cried a struggling Bulkhead. Arcee starts to give cover fire beside him. "Keep at it, Bulkhead! Helps at hand!" cried Ratchet, doing his best to keep the team safe.
"Look out!" cried Arcee, signaling at the heavy artillery the Deception had just brought in. "Ahh, I got better things to do today than die!" shouted Bulkhead. "Where's that backup, think no one got it?" asked Arcee.
As in on que a MV-261 Orca dropship appeared on the horizon. "No, I think they got it!" replied Prime with a knowing smile.
From the side of the ship, shown proudly was the emblem of Overwatch. The international task force formed during the Omnic Crisis over thirty years ago, championed the ideals of heroism, sacrifice, and nobility; unfortunately it was not enough to save it from disbandment, at least not until an unfortunate attack by the omnic extremist group of Null Sector in Paris brought the team together to fight again.
Now Overwatch was back, fighting the good fight once again!
Inside the controls of the Orca was Lena Oxton, otherwise known as Tracer, "We're here love!" she cried out to the others as the doors opened. Front and center was a familiar figure, a woman with blond hair and blue eyes, Mercy medical researcher and first responder of the Overwatch team. Behind her were Genji Shimada, Overwatch's resident cybernetic ninja, along with Reinhardt Wilhelm, the armored clad hammer swinging tank of the group and his squire and goddaughter Brigitte Lindholm.
"Alright team were here to support a local unit from an enemy attack! We need to get to the battlefield as soon as possible!" she exclaimed with urgency on her voice, while she would be eager to help any place that needed her, this time it was personal, this was her hometown, and she would not tolerate it being attack.
Back at the scene of the battle, our heroes are holding their own trying to overwhelm the ever-growing number of insurgences that began pouring from the streets. "Prime we won't be able to take this much longer!" cried out Bulkhead.
Suddenly, a great armor mass got in front of them and said, "Don't worry, my friends! I am your shield!" "Cheers, love! The cavalry's here!" called out Tracer, blinking in front of the others.
"Good job Reinhardt, is anyone in need of assistance." Called out Mercy. "You could say that." replied Prime, removing his face guard. "Doctor Ziegler, a pleasure to see you again" he replied. "Mr. Paxxon, what an unexpected surprise!" mentioned Mercy.
"You know each other" said a confused Arcee. "She helped save my life and guided me in the right path" said Prime. "When I said you should help people, I never expected this!" she replied with a smile.
"Introductions will have to wait, what exactly is the situation here?" interrupted Genji, knowing how imported it was to get this mission done.
"Right! This is the work of a terrorist organization who call them selves The Deception, convince that the only way to achieve change is thru tyranny, let by once renowned author Megan Tarn, who now goes by the name Megatron! We have been tracking their movements for awhile until we intercepted the here in the morning. They plan to use this as an example to every other country that could oppose them. As of now his forces are limited to ground soldiers and heavy artillery, though I fear that given enough time they will gain ariel supremacy!" explained Prime.
"Very well, we will support your team in taking down their troops while Tracer deals with the artillery." said Mercy. "Wait, what! Why do I get the tanks!" cried Lena. "Yea, leave those piles of scrap metal to me!" cried Reinhardt.
"I like your style," said Bulkhead.
"Because she can use her bombs to destroy them without putting us in danger!" said Angela. "Fine love. The cavalry's here!" exclaimed Tracer, back in the game.
"Leave their leader to me! Megatron must be stopped… no matter the cost." Said Prime, determination in his eyes. Prime charges headlong into the Deception forces which separate him from Megatron.
Meanwhile both teams begin their assault, the Deception attempt to block their charge... until Reinhardt barrels into them, sending Deceptions flying around like shards of glass.
Back whit the Deception forces Megatron commands his troops, "Their defences are broken. Let the slaughter begin." He cries out. Then he turns and sees...
"Prime!?" he cries out in fury and surprise.
Prime smashes through a wall of lesser Deceptions calling out to Megatron, "One shall stand, one shall fall".
Closing in on Megatron, his eyes blazing with hatred. "Why throw away your life so recklessly?" he calls out to Prime.
Meanwhile one of the troopers takes a sneaky leap at Prime... before Optimus stiff-arms him with a shuddering clank then turns him upside down with one hand and drives him headfirst into the rocky ground, letting him crumple and fall. "That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron" responds Prime.
Megatron hurls himself at Optimus Prime both tumble into the walls of the city denting the walls and causing the electronic panels inside to short circuit, surrounding them with a fiery nimbus of crackling electrical energy.
While this happens, both Overwatch and Team Prime continue fighting the ground forces, Reinhardt and Bulkhead barreling towards them with brute force while Genji and Arcee use their speed and melee combat against the multitude of soldiers going there way. Bumblebee offers Tracer assistance in keeping the troops distracted so that she can execute the plan without fault, while both Angela and Brigitte offer support.
Back with the leaders, Megatron attempts to kick Prime in the throat, but Prime catches his foot, twists it and hurls Megatron backwards into a metal pile. Megatron grabs a jagged, spear like piece of steel and hurls it at Prime.
The steel "spear" pierces his side and sticks in him as he charges Megatron, dodging shots from Megatron's gun to deliver a huge uppercut which lifts Megatron into the air so high that his head butts sharply against overhanging concrete balcony, mashing him down.
Megatron lands and stealthily slips a laser dagger from his boot, turning and slashing at Prime as he comes for him, tearing a gash across Prime's midsection, which spews blood and drops Prime to one knee. "Farewell, Prime!" Megatron gloats as he hurls the laser dagger at him.
Optimus Prime lifts a chunk of broken concrete and catches the laser dagger on it, tossing it aside as he lunges at Megatron who claws his fingers and digs them into Prime's eyes.
"I'll rip out your optics!" yelled a furious Megatron, thinking fast Optimus grabs Megatron's clawed hand in one of his own, twists it in see-sawing test of strength which Optimus wins in a judo toss which sends Megatron skidding face first through steel rubble, in a shower of sparks until he crashes into the side of the city.
In the distance Bulkhead dispatches a Deception soldier and turns to Prime, "That's showing him, Optimus!". Arcee knocks two Deception mercenaries on their tails and turns, "Finish him off, Prime! Do it now!" she shouts at him.
Meanwhile, on the floor Megatron spots a gun on the ground ahead of him an cries out, "No more, Optimus Prime! Grant me mercy, I beg of you!" Optimus Prime warily moves out to look down at the cowering Megatron, keeping him in his ion blaster's sights.
"You who are without mercy now plead for it. I thought you were made of sterner stuff, Megatron!" he cries out at the tyrant. Megatron grabs for the blaster and blast it at the wound he'd made with his dagger. Prime nearly manages to avoid it, dropping to the floor.
Megatron stands above the wounded Prime, "I would have waited an eternity for this, you thorn at my side. Crawl, slave! On your knees!". Optimus Prime gathers his strength and smashes Megatron with both fists clasped together yelling, "Never!".
Grabbing his ion blaster, he aims at Megatron's midsection and fires.
On the distance explosions can be heard as Tracers blinks back in yelling "Bombs away!".
Finally, after many years it was over.
After the battle, the Deception forces were quickly apprehended while Megatron had ben taken to the hospital at Prime's request.
"That's a good thing you did back there, not many would be so kind to their enemies" said Angela, walking up to a tired Prime, Ratchet just finishing patching him up.
He nods and response, "Death would do nothing to solve this issue, he must be allowed to learn to reform. Less he become a martyr for other misguided souls.".
"Well said!" replied Dr. Ziegler, "So, I hear you go by the name Optimus Prime now".
"Yes, it just came to me I suppose" Prime said with a small laugh. "So, to quote an old patient of mine, why do you do it, why do you fight!" asked a curious Mercy.
Optimus thought at that, smirking he answered" The words of and old friend inspire me to fight, that there is nothing more important than freedom, I always have belief in doing what's right and now that I have the power to do it, why would I not fight. After all, Freedom is the right of all sentient being".
Satisfied with his answer, Dr. Ziegler left to rejoin with her teammates.
Shortly, Optimus joined them and made an announcement, "To my loyal friends that have been with me for a long time, and to our new allies in Overwatch I have something to say. Is has been a long time that tyranny has been left to roam unopposed in this world, nut today with the help of all of you the world has one less threat to deal with. Our fight is far from over, but for tonight we celebrate a fight well done! Drinks are on me!" he finished with a smile.
Following the cheers from his companions the two teams began to talk amongst themselves. They told stories of their past, exchange skills and gave compliments to those that had saved their lives.
Everyone was having a good time, meanwhile on the bar counter Prime sits whit a drink on his hand, looking at all his friends and thinking that maybe things were going to be alright.
"This is a great thing you did for them, Prime," said a smiling Angela. "It was the least I could do for them, after is not every night we can take a break." He spoke. "True, but for what is worth, I don't think anything could ruin this …".
Unfortunately, before she could finish, she was interrupted by a loud crash.
*BOOM! *
Angela and Prime looked towards the loud noise…
only to witness a giant purple comet, crashing into Zürich.
After finding their gear, the teams moved towards the direction of the crash. They see a large crater…
and a larger robotic being emerge from said crater…
it looked directly at Prime and said something that shook them to their very cores.
"DISCIPLE OF PRIMUS, WEILDER OF THE MATRIX, OPTIMUS PRIME. TODAY SHALL BE THE DAY WHERE YOU SHALL PERISH BY THE HANDS OF THE HERALD OF UNICRON! THUNDERWING!"
Well…
FUCK!
