Apologies for the late update. One, this chapter wasn't finished. Two, I have no desire to rush any uploads. Will never post a chapter I'm unhappy with. I know updates are slow as it is, I'll try to keep them more consistent in the future. Reviews and constructive criticism is welcome. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
"Be careful." Widowmaker told Reaper. He nodded beneath his mask.
"Where are you going again?" Sombra asked him.
"Australia." Came the short answer. Reaper disappeared, leaving a confused Sombra and a worried Widowmaker.
"He'll be fine." Sombra assure Widowmaker.
"I don't want our plans to fail." Widowmaker muttered in annoyance.
"I think everything is packed." Mercy said, wiping a bit of sweat off of her forehead. Her smile faded as she looked around her bare room. She wasn't taking everything, they had to move quick and her belongings couldn't slow them down. But seeing the place she'd lived in for a while be stripped completely was saddening.
"You ready?" Pharah was leaning in the door frame, bandages wrapped around her arms.
"Think so." Mercy nodded. "How will your army do?"
"They are all going home." Pharah shrugged. "Back to their families. Some haven't seen their kids in years. But they assured me, if any threat arises, they will return in full spirit."
"That's good." Mercy smiled weakly.
"You're gonna miss staying her, aren't you?"
"Very much." Mercy replied. She picked up her bag and medical staff, joining Pharah at the door. "How are your wounds."
"Should be fine." Pharah waved off her concern. "I do have the best doctor by my side." She turned and walked away, not noticing Mercy's faint blush.
The two left the building to find Winston and Tracer outside, Winston looking at a map.
"What's the plan?" Pharah asked.
"Deciding where to go next." Winston scratched his head. "I think the best we can do is Numbani."
"What's there?"
"An Omnic has been created to protect the city after Doomfist raided the airport and stole back his gauntlet." Winston explained. "All news reports have said that the Omnic, goes by Orisa, does a very good job at keeping the citizens safe. I though we could ask the designer of Orisa if they could create something similar to help us."
"Interesting." Mercy said. "Shouldn't be too hard."
"Indeed. We leave right away." Winston nodded.
"Just a small break." Winston muttered.
"Come on Winston." Tracer said happily, skipping in front of the group. "Numbani isn't too far away from Egypt. We have less to walk then from Gibralter to Egypt."
"It shouldn't take too long." Mercy soothed. "Huh?" Glancing behind her, she saw Pharah staring at city.
"You did great." Mercy rested a hand on her shoulder. "Ana would've been proud."
"I just wish we defended it together." Pharah said.
"You will honour her memory by stopping Talon."
"And the woman that killed her." Pharah growled. She turn back to follow Winston and Tracer, Mercy by her side.
They didn't count the days it took them to reach Numbani, but the sun rose and fell several times. They were lucky Mercy packed extra food, allowing them to press forwards. Winston was about to suggest a different direction beforehand Tracer called out.
"I see it! Guys, I see the city. We made it!" Everyone looked at each other before running up to Tracer. They stopped at took in the beautiful sight.
Numbani is an African city, one where humans and Omnics are treated equally. It was huge, technology reaching every corner of it. From flying drones that monitors the city, to hover cars that everyone got around it, Numbani was especially famous for its airport that goes almost everywhere, and it's museum.
"And this "Orisa" is there?" Pharah asked.
"Indeed." Winston nodded. "If we can find the maker, hopefully he'll be able to Male isn't something similar."
"Well lets go!" Tracer shouted. She blinked off towards the city.
"Tracer wait!" Winston cried. "Orisa is meant to protect the city. Anything suspicious, like breaking time and space, is gonna make it attack."
"We better hurry." Mercy sighed. "Can't have her being attacked.
Tracer looked in awe as she blinked around the city. Buildings touched the sky, and Omnics and humans were seen playing side by side.
"This place has come so far..." Tracer gasped.
"Power source found." A robotic voice said from behind her. Tracer turned to find a four legged Omnic, with a pale body and green horns, staring at her. "It's danger: High."
"Whoa." Tracer breathed. She slowly approached the Omnic.
"Threat detected." The Omnic stated, her yellow eyes turning red. "Fusion Driver ready."
"Fusion what?" Tracer asked. Her answer was the Omnic raising it's arm to fire a blast of bullets. Tracer ducked beneath them, pulling out her own pistols.
"Not very friendly." She muttered, aiming her weapons.
"Fortify." The Omnic said. Tracer's bullets bounced of the Omnic's shiny body.
"What is happening?" Winston, Mercy and Pharah appeared behind Tracer, concerned.
"This Omnic started attacking." Tracer cried, dodging more of the robots weapons.
"More threats detected." The robot analysed, staring at the new arrivals. "Must protect Numbani." She threw out a barrier, stopping Winston and his allies.
"Halt!" She ordered. The Omnic launched a green orb that forced the four together. Winston placed his barrier so the bullets didn't hit them.
"What do we do?" Mercy questioned.
"Orisa!" A cry came. Behind the Omnic, a small girl ran up to it, waving her arms. "Orisa, stop attacking."
"Efi?" Orisa replied.
"Protocol 1: Friendly." Efi shouted. Orisa immediately lowered her gun.
"Understood."
"What, just happened?" Pharah asked in confusion.
Again, really sorry for the late upload. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
