Hello FFN! Guess who's back with another idea? Me! So what is this idea? Well as you can more than likely tell from the chapter heading it's a Star Wars and Overwatch crossover; and for further clarification the Star Wars GAMES universe. That means pretty much delving into the Extended Universe, my personal favorite place in the realm of fiction. So what game am I talking about? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Now before you groan and close the window because you hate the game, I have no animosity towards the first game, the second, on the other hand, is one I despise because it seems like it seems like some fanfiction was given a break and was allowed to write the entire screenplay for TFU2. I mean, bringing back Galen via cloning and him somehow remembering everything that happened in the previous game without any explanation why. I mean, is it the Force ghost of the original Galen that was giving the clone the memories? And more importantly: why? I mean, it just doesn't make any sense at all. Ranting aside I think we can all agree that the inclusion of the first Force Unleashed game told a decent story, though at times the controls were less than desired and the inverse of the second game. It shows the story how one young man who gets manipulated into creating a rebellion by his master, betrays his master when he tries to kill him yet again, and inadvertently creates the formal Alliance itself.

Again, you might be asking "where are you going with this?" Well, I've seen a few stories on this site of scenarios where the spirit of Galen either leaves the universe or becomes reincarnated either as another person or as himself, again, for whatever reason. Some of them are pretty interesting, however, some have been pretty much been untouched for forever. So I thought that I would throw this one out there.

Do note that this relies on some heavy speculation on what the official timeline really is for the Overwatch universe. The biggest downside is that Blizzard has yet to actually release an official timeline allowing us to know when specific events took place. Some out there have created some really good timelines on Reddit as an introduction on what we could have, though it specifically deals with characters rather than world events, though a few are mentioned, primarily the first and Omnic Crises and Overwatch's founding and dissolution. The other resource I used as a reference was Polygon's "The Complete OVERWATCH Timeline – History and Lore" video (watch?v=NASG-PQi8zw). While there is some contention on where exactly the shorts that Blizzard has release fall in to, everyone agrees that the Overwatch game takes place 60 years in the future, Overwatch is founded 5 years after the Omnics begin the first Crisis, the first Crisis lasts 5 years, and 20-some years after its founding Overwatch is disbanded. Everything else is speculative on when it exactly happens.

Rating: T to T+ at the most.

1BBY. Emperor's Throne Room, Death Star.

Galen had fought with his former master, Darth Vader, and had successfully pushed him back to what was an elaborate throne room meant for the Emperor. He had a choice in front of him and he made it quickly, that being of either destroying his former master once and for all or facing the Emperor and saving his friends and allies. He chose the latter. The battle between Galen and the Emperor was severely one-sided as no matter what Galen did the Emperor was able to counter him. He could tell that the Emperor was playing with him as if almost testing him to see his worth or something.

Finally, Galen had an opening. Galen charged at the Emperor, his blade in his preferred reverse grip. The Emperor sent torrents of Force Lightning at him, to which he air-rolled aside to dodge the lethal attack. He jumped on top of a console and leaped up before sending a powerful Force Push towards the Emperor, which impacted the seemingly frail old Sith which staggered him for but a moment before he sent torrents of Lightning once more at Galen, to which Galen absorbed with his lightsaber. He closed the distance to the Emperor, his blade cackling with Force Lightning along the blade and Pushed the Emperor once more, staggering him. He then Pushed into the ground, forcing the Emperor up in the air before Gripping him and slamming him into the ground.

The Emperor laid face down on the ground, smoke from varied explosions swirling around both him and Galen. He looked at Galen sharply and said, "You were destined to destroy me." Galen could feel the anger rise inside of him, it wanted him to kill the Emperor and end him and his Empire. "Do it," Palpatine spat, "give in to your hatred."

Galen ignited his blue blade and contemplated killing him, after all with the Emperor out of the way the galaxy would be free once more. He then felt a hand on his shoulder. "He is beaten," Kota said from behind, "let it go."

Galen grunted in both frustration and anger, "It's a trick, he's stronger than you know and he deserves to die for what he's done to me."

"Maybe so, but if you strike him down now in anger you'll right back where you began," Kota pleaded.

Galen took a moment to catch his breath, to calm himself down. "Get Bail and the others out of here." Galen then extinguished his lightsaber, "I'll be right behind you." Galen could already sense the Rogue Shadow landing near the Emperor's domed throne room. Then Galen felt a twinge of warning in the Force just microseconds before the Emperor shot up and shot a continuous torrent of Lightning at Kota, causing him to fly back and land with arcs of lighting coursing around him. Galen didn't think twice before jumping in front of the Emperor's Lighting onslaught, absorbing and deflecting as much as he could to allow his friends to escape. Galen looked to his left, seeing Stormtroopers closing in with Vader close behind. He looked to his right yelling at his allies with a pained yelp, "Go! Hurry!" Kota finally got up and shot Galen one last glance. "Protect the senators!"

Kota merely nodded in understanding and ran away as Galen continued holding his ground as Stormtroopers fired upon his friends, missing as Kota used a Force ability to mess with their helmets to aid in their escape. Galen stepped closer and closer to the Emperor, ignoring the pain that he experienced from the Emperor's attack. Galen could feel that his friends were far enough away and stepped close enough to hold hands with the Emperor before unleashing whatever Force power he had, yelling out before exploding in a blaze of glory, falling into the sweet blackness of becoming one with the Force.

The Rogue Shadow and her now freed prisoner passengers sped away from the Death Star. Back with the Emperor and Vader, the entire throne room was a mess, debris everywhere from Galen's one last try to kill the Emperor to protect his friends. Vader painfully walked towards his 'fallen' apprentice, breathing heavily as his suit was damaged and needed repairs. He looked down and expected to see his apprentice's corpse, but only saw a blacked outline of where his body should be. Palpatine slowly walked up to Vader silently and looked on to the remains of one of the most powerful Force-users of this time.

"He is dead," Vader stated, his voice modulator and a real voice saying in sync.

"Then he is now more powerful than ever," Palpatine stated, lamenting at almost replacing Vader with an even more powerful apprentice cum enforcer for the Empire. "He was meant to root out the Rebels," Palpatine revealed, "but his sacrifice will only inspire them."

"But now we know who they are. I will hunt them down and destroy them. Just as you always intended, master."

Palpatine turned away, almost in disgust at Vader, but turned around once more, "You must be relentless, Lord Vader. If even a single Rebel survives then this Alliance that you unwittingly created will be our undoing." Palpatine left Vader alone who only looked on to his former apprentice's remains. Or where they should have been at least.

If only were it so easy to die.

Unknown place. Unknown time.

Galen was floating in a black void completely empty of any sound or light. He didn't know how he got here but all he knew was he was stalling Emperor Palpatine while his friends escaped on the Rogue Shadow.

"Rise and shine, Mr. Marek. Rise and shine," a mysterious voice said from in front of him that formed into a ghastly appearance of a man in a suit, putting inflections on words in an odd way. "No one is more deserving of a rest and all the effort in the galaxy would have gone to waste until... let's just say your hour has come again." The man then turned translucent, his eyes, mouth, and general facial features remained visible as what would be his skin showed what looked like a giant droid, mech, or robot destroying a city. "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So wake up, Mr. Marek. Wake up and smell the ashes." (1)

The suited man faded from view and a tunnel with a light at the end replaced him. Galen held his arm over his face to keep himself from being blinded by the light. His ears were filled with horns coming from vehicles and a warning in the Force from behind which made him jump away just in time to not be hit by a ground vehicle. Taking a moment to look around he saw that he was in a city that was vastly inferior technologically to many galactic cities. As he looked around something seemed off about this city. It was uncomfortably empty. There were street lights lit and some cars flying down the street, primarily away from the coastline, but many of the buildings were either dark or in ruins. The Force was warning him of something. Something near the shoreline.

Waving off the warning for a moment, he took inventory of himself. He was still wearing the same white overcloaked, black leather robe he was wearing aboard the Death Star, albeit with a few more scorch marks from the Emperor's lightning attacks and blaster fire coming close enough to singe his clothing. He reached down and pulled his lightsaber from his belt and ignited it for but a moment, it's aqua blade appearing in a snap-hiss, the weapon's signature humming filling the empty street. He examined the hilt and blade, even with the magnetic containment field containing the deadly plasma he could see the arcs of electricity occasionally arcing off when he looked close enough as the field cycled, allowing for it to briefly escape. The hilt was still in pristine condition, although a bit unpolished, after all he had made sure to reassemble and service it once more before assaulting the Death Star. Galen felt another weight on his belt and found another lightsaber, identical to the one he always used. He pulled it from his belt and ignited it, finding that it was of a emerald green color.

He extinguished them both and placed them on his belt right as he heard people screaming and gunfire coming from the general direction of the coast. He leaped up on the rooftop of the nearest building and ran across the rooftops, the Force enhancing his speed, as he ran towards the chaos. He reached the end of a rooftop that looked over a rooftop and looked below, and what he saw both chilled and angered him. Bi-pedal droids were firing upon civilians using projectile weapons not dissimilar to blaster bolts. The civilians didn't stand a chance as they were slaughtered by the quicker thinking machines.

Galen summoned his blades to his hands in a reversed Jar'Kai lightsaber style and leapt from the roof into the largest cluster he could and released a Force Shockwave that knocked many of the surrounding droids into the air, he ignited his lightsaber and cut down several of the droids, leaving only bisected droid chasses behind. The droids only stared at him for but a moment before they attacked him. They started to fire upon him with their guns to which Galen responded with Form V, Shien, the retaliatory form, deflecting the bolts and rounds back towards the droids with no problem. He struck down those that were close to him, leaving more bisected and decapitated droids behind, sparking where they had once been connected to their chasses. It was only a few seconds for Galen, but the squad of droids that were indiscriminately killing civilians were destroyed either from his lightsabers or from him deflecting their rounds back at them.

"Are you alright?" Galen asked the surviving group of civilians.

"We are fine," one of the women asked in broken Basic.

Galen nodded. "Good. You need to get out of here, I fear that things will only get worse."

The woman spoke in her own language, not Basic, and explained the need to hurry away. "Who are you?" a boy asked.

"The right man in the wrong place, apparently," Galen replied before leaping away to the rooftops once more. Galen felt a disturbance, one that would only bring destruction. It didn't take the Force to tell him that whatever this place's military was mobilizing as streaks of light were coming down from the sky. Galen ran across the rooftops towards one of them and saw a larger droid attacking the smaller bipedal droids. No, they had living beings inside them, he sensed. The droid turned around to show him the front that was completely clear and riddled with lights across it, a HUD, that living being inside it was a pilot.

The pilot was firing rotating cannons that fired some kind of particle based weapon in a scatter gun styled pattern. This particular craft was colored pink with some sort of animal on its sides, was bipedal with its two cannon arms, it had a type of jump jet or rocket pack mounted on wings on both sides of it. The pilot started firing into a group of droids, shredding them with the cannon's blasts. A few of the droids jumped onto the front of the pilot's mech in an attempt to get at the pilot inside. The pilot responded by igniting the mech's boosters and rammed into the nearest building, crushing the droids but leaving the mech undamaged except for a few scratches on the mech's paint job. It didn't take the Force to tell him that larger units were on their way. Galen looked on as larger droids stomped closer, much to the pilot's obliviousness. Galen's lightsabers found their way back to his hands, ready to strike.

Meanwhile down below, oblivious to the fact she was being watched from the rooftops, Hana Song, aka D-Va (2) to her online fanbase that knew her by her username on Starcraft II, was having a blast. And by 'having a blast' that meant being thrusted into a high adrenaline combat scenario wielding a combat mech equipped with dual fusion cannons complements of MEKA fighting waves upon waves of hostile Omnics coming from the sea. She already rammed three that jumped on the front of her mech into the nearest building with an assisted rocket thrust, and her kill count was rising as Omnics found their way into her sights. These were the grunts, simply the Omnics that every average Joe saw walking on the street with guns, which were beyond easy to take care of since they were just cannon fodder for the defending Korean army to waste ammo on before the sent in the heavy hitters and aerial units to strike when they were weakened.

"Get good, noobs," Hana said cockily, primarily for her online audience. Her radar then lit up behind her and she could hear stomping that definitely wasn't from another MEKA unit. She turned just in time to see six Bastion units turn the corner, their guns pointed at her, two of them transforming into their turret forms. She was about to boost out of the way when two blue, humming blurs flew in front of her, slicing through all six Bastion units like a hot knife through butter. The last one was taken out a different way though. The two blurs of light suddenly flew upwards towards a figure who held them before stabbing both, of what she now realized were some sort of blades, into the top of the Omnic before kicking it away in an amazing feat of strength into the building behind her. "Woah," she said in awe.

Galen turned his attention to the pilot and saw that she was no older than he was, no more than a year or two. "Are you alright? You were almost droid slag," Galen asked, deactivating his lightsabers but still keeping them in his hands.

Him speaking in English shook her out of her momentary stupor. "Yeah, though I didn't need any help," she replied, keeping a 'confident' face for her online stream.

Galen looked her with a skeptical eye. "Right." Galen then kicked one of the downed droids. "What's with the droids, why are they attacking people?" After all, Galen truly didn't know why these droids were attacking these people indiscriminately. All he knew was that this planet was vastly inferior in technology to what the Empire possessed, even if some of their technology was implemented and how it was used was impressive for a civilization such as theirs.

Hana balked. 'How does he not know about the Omnics and this area's danger?' she asked herself. "Are you an idiot? Have you been living under a rock or something for the last twenty years?"

Galen paused to search for the right words. After all, he had no idea if alien beings were a common occurrence on this planet or not. "Let's just say I'm… from out of town."

"Even if you were from out of town you'd still know that-." Hana was interrupted by her radio suddenly coming to life.

"Officer Song, report to the LZ at the police station to assist the evacuation effort," a male voice said from the other side of the radio.

Hana activated her own radio and responded, "Copy that."

"Need help?" Galen asked.

"What makes you think I need your help?" Hana cockily replied. Galen only replied with a thumb pointed towards the fallen Omnics. "Oh, right. I guess you could tag along."

"Which way?"

"Follow me, I guess," she shrugged. "I hope you can keep up," she said before taking off with her booster rockets. Galen only shook his head before leaping after her, keeping pace, though Hana had no idea how, though.

Eventually, they did reach the police station and saw civilian police forces firing on more of these Omnics, the bipedal, easy to take down kind, while several other of the mech units were firing whatever variants of the weapons that the girl, named Hana, Galen found out, had on her mech unit.

"Hey, wait!" Hana yelled as she thought that the man she had just lead to a firefight just leaped to his death in some sort of suicidal attack strategy. But she, and her countrymen were shocked at what the man did next.

It was safe to say Galen wasn't one to follow orders. It probably had something to do with his former master, Darth Vader, burning him twice. The first being him being promised to kill the Emperor with Vader, the second being that Vader would accept him back if he started a rebellion but was betrayed again. You could say it was betrayal that led him on the path of a Jedi whereas normally that would fuel a Sith to gain revenge on the ones that attempted to kill him in the most humiliating and painful way possible. But he didn't choose that path, instead, he chose, for the first time in his life, the Way of the Jedi. Like his father before him. That was the reason he didn't listen to Hana.

He jumped down with reckless abandon into the crowd of Omnics with his lightsabers ablaze. He landed with a blast of Force energy, repulsing many of the Omnics back giving him enough time to slice many of them that were within the range of his blades. He sent an overpowered Force Push, which he dubbed Force Cannon as it would launch enemies hit by it like a ragdoll launched out of a cannon, into a crowd of Omnics that not only launched the Omnics directly in front of the blast away violently, but also any that were near it into their comrades either damaging them to the point of being unusable or just creating a hole where their comrades once stood. It didn't take the Omnics very long to process that the male wielding two glowing blades was a bigger threat at the moment rather than the MEKA or defending humans with guns.

Many of them charged at Galen and the soldiers defending the civilian evacuation watched in awe as the lone swordsman cut down dozens of Omnics on all sides as they continued to charge him until it appeared to the people watching that he was going to be overrun by the Omnics. Galen then extinguished his blades before hopping up in the air, curling into a ball, and prepared to use a technique that he had used multiple times before. Those looking on saw what seemed like the air forming some sort of shell around the strangely dressed man before it rapidly and violently lashed outward in a sphere that not only pushed back the Omnics that were surrounding Galen, but also disintegrated the ones closest to the center of the blast while throwing further ones away violently.

"What are you waiting for?" Hana shouted at her countrymen, gaining their attention after she too had remembered she was in a fight. The soldiers regained their senses and started firing once more on the Omnics that Galen wasn't engaging. The soldiers and mech units cut down a mass majority of the Omnics before they turned tail and retreated back towards the shore, which was only a few blocks away. The soldiers cheered as the hostile Omnics were routed. Hana noticed that the man who followed her wasn't celebrating, nor did he deactivate his 'laser swords', but was looking out towards the shore, towards the East China Sea. She walked her mech over to him and asked, "Why aren't you celebrating? We totally owned them."

"This fight isn't over," Galen calmly responded, every hair on his neck stood on end as the Force was sending him huge warnings of danger, like the time he pulled an Imperial Star Destroyer out of the sky and slammed it into Raxus Prime.

Hana only gave him a raised eyebrow. "What are you talking about? Those weak ass Omnics ran away after seeing just how overpowered we were."

"They had us outnumbered and would have overtaken this position shortly after they ran out of munitions. Even with the abilities I possess I, like many before me, can fall to overwhelming forces."

"Quit speaking all cryptic-like. We won and they've-." And as if commanded by some sort of deity for some kind of twisted comedic joke, the earth started to shake cutting Hana off as the soldiers behind her were shouting 'Earthquake, get to cover' in Korean. Waves from the coast began to surge inland as the water broke less than five hundred meters from the shore And what emerged was a 'small' Omnic head, maybe the size of a car, followed by a massive torso and legs that easily stood as tall as a small skyscraper. The massive mechanical monstrosity had massive cannons on its arms that looked to launch shells as large as train cars. "-bought back a friend," Hana finished in a deadpan.

The Omnic then looked directly at Galen, a red hue. Immediately behind the two, a man shouted in fear, "The Kaiju has returned!"

"That's fantastic, how do you kill it?" Galen asked.

Hana just blanched at Galen. "How to do… what?!" she shouted as the massive Omnic started to swing its arm slowly towards them, the clouds in the sky resounding with thunder.

"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, how do you kill it?"

"You can't kill it," Hana said calmly, almost in defeat. "The Kaiju, the largest of any known Omnic, has been terrorizing the cities and towns along the East China Sea for almost twenty years and every time we've engaged it, it always retreats after we've come up with a new strategy to combat it and completely undermines our efforts to eliminate it." The Omnic finished swinging its arm and aimed directly at them. "And we're now going to die."

"I wouldn't be so sure of that," Galen said confidently. The Force screamed in warning as the Omnic fired a shell towards him. The instant the shell started moving Galen pushed the shell against the cannon's wall causing the shell to veer off course the instant it exited into a nearby multistoried building sending rubble and shrapnel everywhere except where the massive Omnic had been intending to fire. Hana opened her eyes to see that she wasn't dead and that the building a block away was completely decimated.

"How did-?"

"Nothing is impossible with the Force as my ally, or at least that's what Kota told me." Galen shook off the growing fatigue he was starting to feel. "Where is its weak point?"

"The head and chest? No one's really been able to kill this thing if you haven't noticed."

Galen only hmmed as he considered his options, at the same time the Omnic was looking at its cannon arm trying to process what had just happened. After all, it was a precision machine whose weapons were calibrated before every raid it would conduct. "Well, this wouldn't be the biggest thing I've destroyed this month," Galen offhandedly said.

"What do you mean by-?" Hana was cut off as Galen threw his sabers towards the Omnic, controlling the arcs they made before they slashed at the Omnic's torso creating an X shape that extended a dozen meters for each slash. This was impressive and awe inspiring as nothing had been able to penetrate the Kaiju's armor in every recent raid it had appeared at.

The Omnic looked at its chest in shock, surprised just like the rest of the humans still cowering beneath its gaze. It let out a loud series of binary commands, to which Galen was able to recognize was similar to Droid Binary with an extreme accent, which roughly translated to 'attack.' Galen caught his sabers just as Hana turned to look at him oddly. "Do you even have a plan?!"

Galen's eye traveled over to the destroyed building that had loads of steel girders sticking out of the wreckage, then his eyes shifted to the growing storm brewing above them. A plan formulated in his mind, the crazy 'this will probably only work once and might result in my death' kind of plan. "I hope you like crazy because it's the only thing I've got!" Right as he finished speaking hundreds of Omnics of various models rounded the corner, intent on killing them all. "Keep those off of me. And stay out of the water!" Galen ordered before leaping to the nearest rooftop.

"Come on, guys. Let's kill some ads!" Hana shouted as her mech strafed enemies with fusion cannon fire.

XxXxXxX

Meanwhile, in the air, a dropship belonging to the old but newly revived Overwatch, albeit illegally, flew towards the city of Yeosu, South Korea. For what purpose? To evacuate as many civilians as possible to prove to the nations of the world that Overwatch was back, though starting with humanitarian efforts at first. Why? The granddaddy of all Omnic war machines, which the locals had 'lovingly' named the Kaiju in reference to Godzilla and other massive movie monsters that had once again reappeared off the coast of Korea.

On board this dropship were Winston: the super genius gorilla, Lena Oxton aka Tracer: the hyperactive time jumper, Angela Zeigler aka Mercy: the revolutionary doctor and medic of the group, and Genji: the cyborg ninja swordsman formerly of the Shimada clan as he was assumed to be dead. Winston was slightly disappointed and disparaged as these three were the only ones to answer the Recall so far. Either the former members of Overwatch had lives they weren't willing to give up and had moved on from the 'good old days' or were unable to answer the Recall. (3)

As they approached they saw the massive Omnic taking hits from the Korean air forces attempting to strike at the Omnic, but were inevitably shot down by its anti-air defenses. "Attention: Sixty seconds to drop point," Athena said over their communications network.

Tracer blinked over towards the window and watched as something interesting happened. "Hey, guys. Take a look at this!" she announced to the group.

The three remaining members walked towards the set of windows near the exit and looked on as a pair of lights, one blue and one green, carved an X into the Omnic. A minute later a large steel girder came from a destroyed building, lodging itself deeply into the center of the X carved into the Omnic. "What could…" Winston trailed for a moment before ordering, "Athena, take us in closer!"

"Advisement: That would be dangerous considering the Kaiju's anti-air defense matrix."

"Just do it!"

"Override accepted. Moving closer."

XxXxXxX

Back with Galen, it was time to implement part two of his insane plan. And by plan read 'making it up as he went along.' The steel girder had penetrated a good meter inside the Omnic's chassis, exposing it to a certain element that Galen had a lot of experience using, Force Lightning. While Force Lightning was powerful against soft targets and unprotected droids, he had no idea what internal shielding the inner mechanisms had. Therefore he had to do something more drastic; after all, this wasn't like pulling an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer out of the sky and letting gravity take care of the rest, for the most part. Though this Omnic was much smaller than a Star Destroyer and weighed much less.

Galen summoned a storm of Force Lightning that surged around him as he stood on the corner of a rooftop and shot it towards the sky, into the storm system above. The tendrils of Lightning rolling into the clouds above. Galen ceased his attack and immediately felt the hairs on both his neck and arms stand on end. "In hindsight, probably not one of my best plans," Galen muttered. A bolt of lightning then discharged from the thunderhead above and headed straight for him. He reacted by molding the Force around his outstretched hand into a protective shield cum siphon and aimed with his other hand pointed towards the giant Omnic.

To say that it was painful was an understatement, but nothing was as painful as either being stabbed through the abdomen with a lightsaber or facing the Emperor's hatred and malice through his Force Lightning assault. Galen reflected the pure might of natural lightning into his own Force Lightning, releasing a storm of blue hued Lightning whose bolts were much thicker than any known Sith had produced before him. The storm homed in on the protruding steel girder and entered the Omnic's body causing insurmountable internal damage. The Omnic bleeped in perceived digital pain as the storm continued to ravage its innards. Finally, the bolt of lightning's energy was depleted and Galen's own Force Lightning returned to its normal state. Somehow the Omnic still wasn't dead as it was still standing, its single eye still looking at Galen in both fear and rage at what he had just done. Not willing to take any chances at this Omnic attempting to search him out in the future to kill him in vengeance, Galen extended both hands and gripped the sides of the Omnic's torso similarly to how he pulled down the Star Destroyer and began to squeeze it through the Force itself.

The Omnic began to slowly rise dozens of meters above the ground as it looked around in confusion trying to process what was happening to it. Galen then clenched his fists, immediately causing creases, stress fractures, and an effect that can only be described as slowly crushing a tin can. The groans of stressed metals collapsing could be heard for kilometers around, even to the members of Overwatch who were landing near the police station. Seeing that the Omnic was completely structurally unstable, Galen brought his hands together as if he really were crushing a tin can in between them, immediately causing the torso of the Omnic to implode on itself in one single crushing sound. Galen released the now completely damaged Kaiju from his Grip and allowed it to land on the beach closest to them in a ball that was half of the Omnic's original size.

Seeing that their Kaiju leader was defeated, the Omnic soldiers and other specialized units dropped their weapons and began to either surrender or run away in fear. Galen leapt down from his rooftop perch and landed gracefully like a feline would. He then felt a disturbance in the Force, but not a hostile one. One that was more akin to someone ripping open a rift in the Force to teleport through time and space. "Bloody wicked moves there, love," a woman asked as she suddenly appeared next to him in a heavy Corulag accent. Galen jolted back at her sudden appearance. "Sorry 'bout that," she then offered a hand and introduced herself, "Lena Oxton, at your service. But you can call me Tracer if you want to." She then looked out at the now wrecked Kaiju once more. "I'd say 'the cavalry's here,' but it looks like you have it covered."

"Galen Marek," Galen replied while shaking her hand.

"That was an impressive show of power, young man," Winston said as he approached the now growing crowd of people gathering around them. "Winston, just Winston," he introduced himself.

"Yeah, you totally owned the Kaiju," a young woman wearing a skintight suit consisting of multiple colors said as she joined the gaggle of people. Galen noticed that it was the pilot from before. "We never properly exchanged names. I'm Hana Song, but I'm commonly known as-."

"D-va!" Tracer said as she Blinked over to Hana. She then pulled out a pad of paper and a pen from one of her jacket pockets and held it towards the young woman and asked, "Can I get your autograph?" Tracer asked excitedly.

"Sure! Anything for a fan," she said as she took Tracer's pad and pen. "Love, D-va," she said as she held out the pad once more.

Winston cleared his throat to regain control of the situation and bring it back on topic. "I have a proposal for you if you'd be willing to hear it," he asked.

"I'm listening," Galen replied.

"I'm rebuilding an organization to prevent such things from this happening again. Things around the world are falling apart and this world needs heroes once more. This world needs Overwatch once again. So I ask you, will you join us?"

"You wouldn't happen to have a hyperdrive capable ship lying around, would you?"

"Hyperdrive? As in superluminal travel?" Winston asked. Galen nodded. "Sorry, no we do not, I'm afraid."

Galen was going to turn and walk away when the words said by the man from his very strange trip he had before battling these machines. 'The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.' "I'll join you if anything to help protect the helpless. It is the Jedi way," Galen replied. What he didn't include was 'from what old man Kota told me, that is.'

"Splendid! You know, you can have your own code name if you want."

"I guess when on missions you can call me…" Galen paused to think of something that was familiar, "Starkiller."

To be continued?

XxXxXxX

And there we go, that's the chapter. Now I am well aware how OP Starkiller/Galen is and when you think about it all of the Overwatch characters are super OP when it comes to their human counterparts (sans Bastion as he's a robot made for war) and I figured this would be interesting. Now why is this a pilot? Like I stated above in the intro notes, there is no official lore outside of what Blizzard has told us and revealed inside of the animated shorts and comic books. Until more is released for me to work off of, I can only speculate and would rather have concrete material to work with rather than speculation on what Overwatch's story really is.

What I hope to accomplish as an endgame for this story, should it come to fruition: Galen joins Overwatch, Galen falls in love with someone on the team (right now D-va is the most likely because of age), have some sort of adventure, a climax of sorts, and an end. This is what I hope to accomplish, but again until I get more official storylines from Blizzard that I can work off of, this will remain a pilot.

And before I sign off for this installment into my repository, notes!

1. If you follow any of my flagship stories then you'll know I like to throw in cameos in here and there, if you guessed G-man from Half-Life, you'd be correct.

2. Please note that this is intentionally done. For whatever reason FFN does not allow for anything resembling a URL inside chapters at all, hence why I refer to D-va with a "-" in the middle instead of a "." in it. Same reason why I use her real first name instead of her callsign/Gamertag.

3. Ok, so why these three (not including Winston) so far? Well, I would assume that Mercy would want to rejoin to continue helping the wounded worldwide. Genji was confirmed in his and Hanzo's short to be part of Overwatch, and Tracer was one of the first people that Winston called. Will more people join? Yes, but obviously not in this pilot chapter.

And that's all I got. I hate to do all this pandering BS, but I gotta do it that way it gets said. Like and favorite to see more, and let me know if I really should continue this one into a more conventional chapter based story (please see my reasoning why this might not happen for a while yet though).

And as always I'll see you guys all next time.
