*London: Overwatch Safehouse*
Securing the door carefully and turning on all the cameras, Quillion and Lena switched to their combat gear while Emily waited in the living room.
"Who do you think it is?" Lena asked, peeling off her dress behind a screen.
"No idea, let's just hope it's a false alarm" he replied, slapping on one of Torbjorn's armor discs before loading multiple magazines into his pockets.
Fully armed and armored, Quillion tried to send a report back to base but for some reason their communications are jammed.
"I'll check on Emily" Lena said after securing her Chronal Accelerator and blinking to the other room.
Glancing at the cameras for the final time, he took a vest and brought it out.
"Here, put this on as a precaution" he said as the threw it to Emily before switching on the holovid, to which the news channel came on.
"... we do not know who or what has destroyed London bridge but people fear this will be a repeat of Kings Row many years ago..."
Both looked at Lena quickly but she is fully focused at the task at hand. Quillion sighed in relief, having Tracer around is always a good comfort.
"We are just receiving a report that the attackers are livestreaming their attack and the police has tried to shut the channels down but have failed" the news reporter said.
"Which channel would they be using?" Quillion asked.
With a few keystrokes, Emily found it on her personal holopad.
"Hey there Mexican! Biru Hantu! I'm still waiting for you!" an incredibly large man shouted into the camera and holding a picture that shocked them.
It is a picture of a purple haired woman who has her arms around Lena and Emily.
Quillion stared, this 'Sombra' is an ally all along? But before he could ask the man continued.
"We know both of you are here in London! And it has been 5 minutes!" he shouted gleefully, shooting another hostage behind him at random.
"Remember! Clock's ticking!"
Laughing boisterously, he waved goodbye as the screen changed to a pre-recorded video of him singing "London Bridge is Falling Down"
"The CTSFO has made multiple attempts to rescue the hostages but have been repelled by the terrorists, all citizens should stay at home and-" the news reporter said from the holovid concluded.
"Who is that girl Lena?" Emily asked quietly.
But Lena did not seem to hear her, her focus entirely on the holovid.
Beep.
He looked and saw it is a message from Morrison.
"Stay at the Pub, Scientist will pick up package" he read aloud.
"What does that mean?" Emily asks.
"It means we just stay here until reinforcements arrive" Quillion replied.
Lena stayed silent, her eyes shifting from the holovid and the holopad, they could see her shaking slightly as if she is facing an internal battle within herself.
"Lena? You alright?" Quillion asked.
Tearing her eyes away from the screens, she looked directly at Emily.
"Luv..." she said with a distraught face.
"I know... I can't stop you even if I tried" Emily comforted her with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry" Lena said.
Emily stood up and gave Lena a hug.
"Be careful out there" she said.
Lena nodded and looked at Quillion.
"Take care of her for me" Lena said, breaking the hug and securing her gloves.
"Whoa where do you think you're going?"
"You heard them, it'll take an army to stop them and by then more people will die"
"Our orders are to stay here"
"Sometimes you have to defy the orders just to do what is right" she replied calmly.
"Quillion, don't even try" Emily said.
Looking at both of them, he relented.
"Very well… Then I should go with you, if we go with Zero Trace then they won't stand a chance"
"No, take care of her for me" she said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Seeing the trust she has for him, he relented.
"Yes ma'am" he said.
"Be back in a tick" Lena said, giving a two-finger salute before disappearing.
"Does she usually do that salute at work?" Emily asked.
"You have no idea" Quillion said, walking back to the monitoring room.
"When is Winston going to arrive?" Emily suddenly added.
He stopped and turned around.
"How did you know that name?"
"Lena and I celebrated Christmas with him once"
"Then… You know he is a…"
"Scientist? Yes"
"Ape… You know he is a talking ape…" Quillion blurted out, unable to stop himself.
"Oh, yes I know"
"Well… Guess I don't need to introduce you when he comes… Which should be in… Within the hour"
*London Bridge: Borough Market Side*
"Well, it has been 5 minutes again, time for someone to die!" Agong declared as he snapped his fingers.
A shout came from the hostages as one is dragged by the hair towards him.
"I apologize for the harsh treatment, but I'm just too lazy to turn around" he said, sparing a second to look at the pile of bodies on the side.
"Please, I have a baby!" the woman begged, tears pouring down her face.
"Oh don't worry, it will join you soon enough" he said as he takes aim.
At that instant, the pistol is shot out of his hand.
"Go go go!'
Flashbangs and smoke grenades exploded around them as the CTFSO storms their location in another desperate attempt to save the hostages.
"Won't they ever learn?" Agong sighed and clapped his hands.
Prowling from the shadows came the Tigers, each awaiting the signal since they saw the assailants getting into position 10 minutes ago.
One by one, they effortlessly assassinate every attempt to get near, even the snipers a few blocks away met their doom by garroting.
Once the smoke clears, everyone was distraught to see that Agong remained standing and the hostages are in more danger than ever.
"Well, thanks to you, I'll have to use another weapon!" he shouted to the crowd, pulling out a knife.
"No you don't!" a young officer shouted, unable to contain himself anymore, charging the man with his pistol, ignoring his superiors.
Laughing boisterously, Agong welcome the attack with open arms, offering no resistance as the man emptied his entire mag into his chest.
Everyone watched with a mixture of disbelief and hope as all bullets hit home, dust flew out from his clothes with each shot.
Agong stepped backwards once, then twice, before collapsing to the ground with a large thud.
The officer stood over the man, his gun clicking as he ceaselessly pulls the trigger, staring in disbelief that the terrorist is dead.
"Is… Is it over?" one of the hostages asked.
In the blink of an eye, Agong's hand shot upwards and grab the officer by the neck.
"No!" he shouted mockingly over the screams of anguish as he began to bend the neck of the officer with his thumb.
The officers stood where they stood, horrified at the seemingly unkillable man standing before them, not knowing what to do.
"Hiya Tracer here!" a voice sounded through their coms.
"Who is this?" the Captain demanded.
"I am going to keep them busy, save the hostages" Lena said before cutting off.
"Cheers love! The cavalry's here!" a voice rang out in the cold air.
As everyone was looking for the source of the noise, she kicked away Agong's hand in mid air and blinked the officer away.
"Good job mate, the world could always use more heroes" she said with a smile before blinking away.
"Biru Hantu? About time you show up! Is your Mexican friend with you?" he shouted.
"Looks like you need a time out" Lena said as she threw a Pulse Bomb at him, trying to end the fight quickly.
At that moment, a Tiger hiding closest to the Agong leapt out of cover and stuck himself with the bomb, jumping away a certain distance before he exploded, his body flung to the side, groaning in pain.
Seeing this, Agong's anger flared.
"You thought that you can kill me with such a useless explosive? Me? I am Agong! You think I'm that weak?!" he roared.
"Then come get me ya big baby!" Lena challenged, firing her pistols as she blinks in and out of existence.
"Tigers! Get her!" he ordered.
Instantly they pounced, doing their best to catch her. But it proved to be an impossible task as they are now fighting in her pace.
The more aggressive they get, the easier it is for Tracer to fight.
"Whoa there! Hands off!" she said when one finally manages to grab a leg.
Swiftly twisting her body, she kicked him off and continuously shoot in every direction, injuring almost all the assailants.
Agong took a deep breath and called a number, his heart quickened with every ring.
"Qui?"
"Oh my dear! It is so good to hear your voice!"
"Is she there?"
"Yes! And I am thinking afterwards we can-"
The call was cut before he finished his sentence.
"The love of my love! What sass! What fire!" he lamented to himself.
To ease himself from his 'heartbreak', he sat down on his chair and open another box of bread pudding, watching the fight between the ghost and his Tigers.
*London: Overwatch Safehouse*
Emily's eyes are glued to the screen as the gunfight is being broadcasted, at the edge of her seat as she watches her fiancé battle the terrorists.
Quillion is staring into screens as well, though in the Monitor Room. Despite being attacked is extremely unlikely, he does not wish to be surprised.
However, he could not deny that it is frustrating. Lena is off on a rescue mission and here he is doing nothing.
"No, she must stay safe at all costs" he thought to himself, looking into the other room.
"Still… Of all the nights… Why tonight?" he asked himself.
Bing.
Flipping open his communicator he read the message.
"Your safehouse is compromised, RUN"
Snapping a look at the screen he saw a woman and a man staring directly into one of the cameras.
Bing.
"RUN NOW"
"Emily, we have to go now" he said as he ran into the other room, putting on his sunglasses that is now flashing warning signs all over the lenses.
"Why?" she asked, standing up.
Suddenly two words glared back at him.
"GET DOWN!"
The wall collapsed as a car smashed through it with incredible force, billowing dust into the room.
"Widowmaker, did we get them?" Sigma asked as he floats in, one hand behind his back.
"I do not smell blood..." SS28 growled as she jumps in, landing on the sofa.
"They escaped and are now running through the street to your left" Widowmaker said as she watches the events unfold through her scope.
"They knew we were coming?" Sigma wondered.
"I'll get them" SS28 said as she jumps out of the building.
"Let me know if a shuttle arrives" Sigma said as he levitates after her.
*Streets of London*
"Let me down! I'm going to be sick!" Emily shouted as Quillion turned the corner.
"Alright take it easy" he said, forcing down his Battle Rage.
Once her set her down and she retched onto the ground, he looked back and saw that the attackers are moving towards them.
Fast.
"Execute Extraction Plan D" he commanded.
His glasses responded by showing him the way to The Farm, which is about 24 miles West.
"Ever done a 40 kilometer marathon?" he asked, checking his pistol.
"Just lead the way" she said, wiping off the bile with a shaking hand.
*Spain: Over Bay of Biscay*
"Safehouse compromised" Athena reported.
Winston stopped pacing and studied the recordings. His heart dropped when he saw that the attackers are the ones who defeated Genji.
"Pilot! How much longer?" he asked.
"Wind's fighting against us, little more than 40 minutes"
He grunted.
"They should be able to handle it in 40 minutes…" he thought.
"Winston! Urgent reports! Extremists hiding in London has begun to attack multiple areas!" Athena reported.
*Streets of London*
Quillion stopped and peeked around the corner, horrified to see a bunch of Omnics throwing molotovs into a store and some spraying symbols onto the wall.
"What is going on?" he wondered aloud.
Emily gasped when she saw what they are spraying.
"They are Null Sector sympathizers! They are trying to start another uprising!" she said with fear in her voice.
Using his glasses, he saw that the rioting has erupted all around them, effectively cutting them off from the current path.
"Aww… Looks like you have finally been cornered" they heard a woman say behind them.
He pulled Emily behind him and pointed his gun at…
"Sombra?"
"We meet again amigo" she said calmly.
"You! You're the woman the man is looking for!" Emily snarled.
"I can show you where you need to go, just follow my instructions and everything should be fine" Sombra continued, ignoring Emily.
"Why should I trust you?" Quillion asked, his pistol never leaving her face.
"Who do you think sent you all those messages? If it weren't for me, this amiga would've died"
She looked behind her as Quillion quickly weigh his options.
"Clock's ticking"
"Very well… What do we do now?"
"They have a sniper tracking us, I'll take care of her, you two just follow this"
Waving her hand in mid air, Quillion's glasses updated its maps,
"There they are!" SS28 screeched.
"See ya both there" Sombra said with a smile before disappearing.
"Just give her up and we might just let you go!" SS28 shouted, her claws raking against the walls threateningly.
In response, Quillion took aim.
"You think you can stop me with that?" she laughed.
He pulled the trigger and she flew back a few yards when the bullet exploded on her chest.
"Go go! Left!" he said as he took off running.
"No one could've survived that" Emily panted as she ran next to him.
A screech from behind them pierce through the night.
"She did" Quillion said.
*London Bridge: Borough Market Side*
Lena stood triumphant after she kick the last Tiger to the ground, each of them groaning in pain as their clothes are filled with smoking holes.
"Now… Where were we?" she asked as she approached Agong, who is still sitting on his chair.
"You didn't kill them?" he asked in an almost disappointed voice.
"No, they will rot in jail with you"
Sighing, he stood up and stretched.
"I see now that you have been holding back… Which makes this boring…"
"Not everyone is like you who kills for fun" she growled back.
"And you will regret living in a world of black and white, let me give you an example why you need to start killing"
When he turned his pistol towards the hostages, they are all gone.
"Wha…"
"Good job everyone!" Lena shouted to the barricades.
"You are both under arrest! Put down your weapons!" the police responded on a bullhorn, stunning Lena.
"Hahahahaha! Looks like your efforts are wasted on these normals, so let me make a proposition for you"
"And that would be?"
"You're a pretty good fighter, why don't you join me? I can satisfy you in every aspect of your life, you never have to worry about anything every again"
"I think I'll pass on that" she said with a look of disgust
"Then die"
Raising his pistol, he began shooting at her, ignoring the police demanding them to stop.
"Are you really trying to shoot me now? Your men tried and it didn't work" she taunted.
Her head exploded with pain, staggering her as she blinked.
She looked up and saw that he has his arm outstretched.
"No, but you are too predictable" he said with a smile.
Predictable? She has always hated that word.
She tried to blink away to put some distance and a bullet grazed her leg.
"Hmm… Just a bit off" Agong said, reloading his pistol.
Anger flared within her and she attacked, trying her best to disarm or cripple him but his skin is too thick.
"Your petty lights wont even pierce my body! Unless you increase the power to be more than a flashlight, more people will die tonight!"
Throwing another Pulse Bomb, he caught and crushed it with his fist.
"At least try!" he laughed.
"I need to end this quick, I need to go back to Emily" Lena thought desperately.
"Get your head in the game hantu!" he yelled, managing to punch her in the gut when she blinked to dodge his bullet.
Grabbing her by the hair, he pulled her up like a ragdoll, he pointed his gun over her heart.
"Any last words?"
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared and reappeared a short distance away from him.
"Let's try that again" she said.
*Streets of London*
A car came crashing down in front of them on a street.
"Brace yourself!" Quillion shouted as he grabbed Emily around the waist and leapt over the car.
"Don't look back!" he shouted, kneeling down to shoot back at their pursuers.
She heard multiple explosions and suddenly the woman with the claws jumped down in front of her.
"Die!" she screamed while slashing down a claw.
Emily closed her eyes and expected pain but it never came, instead she was met with a loud bang and a wave of heat.
When she peeked, she saw that Quillion's shoulder is covered in blood and the woman is knocked to the ground.
"What happened?"
"Run!" he yelled as he shot a fire hydrant that is flung at them.
Plans to lose them in the crowd of rioters or through police barricades were quickly dashed as the man easily tore open holes in every obstacle thrown in their way.
"Sombra, if you can hear me, I need to know if the sniper is out of commission!" he spoke out loud, hoping that she installed some form of way to communicate.
Receiving no response, they kept running. A few times they were cornered and Quillion had to force an opening to escape.
As the minutes crawl by, Emily saw that he is getting bloodier and bloodier as he used his body as a literal shield between them and her.
Thankfully a message from Sombra finally flashed on his lenses.
"Sniper lens hacked, hide"
Throwing down a smoke bomb, he grabbed Emily and slipped away into a small park.
"Where are they?"
"I think I see them over there!"
Quillion and Emily sighed in relief when they went the opposite direction.
"We need to patch you up" Emily said, looking at his battered body.
"Don't worry, I got it covered…" he gasped, pulling out a small tube and plant it on the ground.
"What is that?"
"Biotic Field… Sprays medicine into the air, it'll take care of the minor wounds…"
She watched in amazement that his bleeding seems to lessen.
"This reminds me of the regulators that the gangsters use in Australia"
"What?"
"There has been reports that large gangsters in Australia breath concentrated medicinal gas"
"That's actually a good idea…" he said.
"How many more of those do you have?"
"Just one more"
"Let me patch the shoulder up for a second" she offered, but he pushed her away.
"No, we need to move"
"It'll just take a sec"
"They know where we are" he said, peering through the bushes.
"I thought Sombra took care of it?"
"Evidently it was only temporary, prepare yourself… Ready… Go!"
Charging out of the park, they were almost crushed by a large boulder that flew at their direction. Firing high explosive rounds, he manages to hold them at bay.
Attracted by the sounds of gunfire, many Omnics joined what they thought is a riot, chanting and yelling as they march the streets.
"We are being cut off again" Quillion said as he quickly looks around.
Running into a random alleyway, he saw that they ran into a dead end.
He pointed his gun at the wall and pulled the trigger, but only a click is heard.
"Aww… Looks like we finally caught our rats…"
Slowly removing his sunglasses, Quillion pass them to Emily behind him.
"Please tell me you can see the UI" he whispered as they walk backwards slowly.
She quickly put them on and saw arrows pointing to a certain direction.
"Yes"
"Don't wait for me" he said.
Suddenly grabbing her by the shoulders, he threw her in the air in an attempt to throw her over the wall but to his horror, she hung in the air, clawing her neck as she gasps for breath.
"Thank you for throwing her in the air, makes it so much easier" Sigma said with a hand raised.
As he gloats, a bullet flew straight into his shoulder, piercing the armor like paper.
Emily gasped when she dropped to the ground, coughing as Sigma roared in pain.
SS28 charged forward, her claws just inches away from Emily when Quillion kicked her in the head and deflected her claws with his knife.
However, the damage he has done is minimal as they stood back up.
"We are going to ask you nicely once again, give us the girl and we might let you live"
"Stay behind me, this could get ugly" Quillion instructed, shoving Emily to the ground in the corner.
"You think you can actually beat us? We are some of Talon's finest!" the woman laughed.
Talon. The word awoke something in Quillion as his memories rushed back to the Enforcer and his humiliating defeat.
"You do not know the hell you are walking into boy" the man added, levitating higher into the sky, debris orbiting around him.
"You don't know what hell I've crawled out from" Quillion seethed.
Seeing no other way out but to fight, he decided that in this battle he will give his all, allowing the pain, the anger, and the frustrations to take over.
He has almost lost control of his emotions many times in the past few days, keeping them in check out of respect for Lena and Emily.
But now… Now he can unleash them all into his enemies without the need to care.
It's payback time.
He could feel the blood pumping wildly in his ears as an unfathomable rage clouds his mind. All fatigue and pain vanished, leaving nothing but blood lust.
"I like that look in his eye" the woman said.
"Then why don't you introduce yourself?" the man shouted, hurling debris while the woman charged.
Quillion met the charge with his own, easily shrugging off the debris and allowing himself to feel the pain, to let it fuel his strength.
Dodging the woman's claw, he slammed his shoulder into her face and drove his knife deep into her body and he heard a loud crack.
Before she could even yelp, he shot a few rounds at the man who seemed to have created a vortex. Seeing this, he threw the woman straight at him, knocking him out of the air.
They both stared as Quillion advanced and felt an unfamiliar fear filling the atmosphere around them.
She leapt at him again but he grabbed her wrist and forced her to the ground and raised his knife high into the air.
Seeing this, Sigma created a barrier just as knife flew down, the blade landing just an inch away from her eye.
Trying to free herself, she swung her other arm which was promptly shot away, causing her to scream in pain.
Without warning, there was a strong gust of wind that threw him back to Emily.
"This is it? This is the hell that you boasted about?" Quillion shouted, his anger unsatisfied.
"We underestimated our target" the man breathed.
"Then we must re-evaluate our approach"
A woman faded behind them and a yellow cloud emitted from her hands.
"And who are you?" Quillion asked with his gun raised.
"None of your concern…" she replied as her colleagues stood back up, healed of all wounds.
"Since Doctor is here, you can now roll over and die" the clawed woman said.
"Bring it on!" Quillion roared, charging at the Talon agents.
