I know, been a little bit since I last updated this. But the story his back. Last time we introduced Symmetra into the story, on Talon's side. Still not all characters have been introduced. Let's see what happens. Reviews and constructive critisicm is welcome. Enjoy!
Chapter 18
McCree walked away from the train tracks in the blazing heat. A little town was just up ahead, and he needed a drink. He walked forwards, eyes passing over Omnics and humans alike. This town seemed to have accepted Omnics, and both races lived in peace. If only the rest of the world was like that.
McCree opened the door to a pub, to find it was barely operational. The wallpaper was peeling, a number of tables didn't have stools, the tv in the corner flickered between on and off. The cowboy strolled over to the bar, resting down on the stool.
"What can I get you?" The bartender asked.
"Whisky." Came the reply. The bartender nodded and shuffled into the back room.
McCree's eyes flickered towards the tv, just for them to widen. There on the screen, was a report from the city of Numbani. And right in the middle, was an Omnic, firing towards a small woman in orange leggings, an a large gorilla.
"Winston? Lena?" McCree thought, staring at the screen.
"One whisky." The bartender placed the drink down. McCree barely nodded his thanks, and dropped some money on the table. He continued to watch the screen, seeing a small girl run over to the Omnic and stop it. The news report finished, but McCree also caught a glimpse of Mercy and Pharah on the scene.
"Why are they together? Overwatch was disbanded... Unless..."
Mei stayed huddled in the corner of her cell, confused and lost. She didn't know what happened to Snowball, nor did she know what was going to happen to her. She had stop crying, she didn't have any tears left. All she could feel were the metal bars against her back.
Suddenly, she hear footsteps. She turned and rose to her feet, to find the Omnic Maximillian looking at her. Behind him was a larger Omnic, with arms the size of Mei's head. Like the others she saw earlier, it looked sad.
"Let's go." Maximilian said,staring at Mei.
"G-Go where?" Mei stuttered.
"Does it matter to you?" The reply was cold. The Omnic unlocked the cell door, and the larger Omnic stumbled in. The Omnic's arms wrapped themselves around Mei, lifting her up. The scientist struggled to be free, yet her attempts were useless against the metal.
Mei was forced to follow Maximilian. She watched as she was carried outside, back to where the sad Omnics were working. The large Omnic continued to follow Maximilian across the Artic, until t approached the sea. There, was a large ship, full of containers and worker Omnics and humans. Mei was thrown aboard, into the hands of some smaller Omnics.
"I hope you don't get travel sick." Maximilian said, in a tone that suggested that he didn't really care.
"Where's Snowball?" Mei begged.
"Oh, your little droid friend?" Maximilian snickered. "Somewhere on board. I'm sure someone will pay a high price for him."
"You're selling him?" Mei was shocked.
"Indeed. Don't worry, you might be brought along side him. Actually, no you won't."
"What do you want with me?"
"Our organisation is very interested in the materials in the Artic. We know that there is valuable oil here, as well as some strong crystals. That's probably what you saw our workers moving. We need as much as possible. And we know that you've done research in the Artic for some time now. Surely you and your friends know everything about it." Maximilian paused, seeing the look of sadness wash over Mei's face. "Oh, my apologises. I forgot."
"You... know what happened?" Mei questioned slowly.
"Of course. It was me who ordered for the pods to be disabled."
Mei froze. The coldness that she had in her before began to boil. She felt her body heating up with face as she looked at the metal face. She lashed forwards, just to be held back by the two Omnics.
"Temper temper." Maximilian sighed. "Oh well. Take her to the cells." The Omnic waved the other two off, before walking away towards the head of the ship.
"Where is she?" One guard asked the other.
"Probably in her room as usual." The other shrugged.
"She isn't training?"
"Does she need to? She's the best pilot we have, she's incredible."
"You're a big fan aren't you?"
"You would be too if you watched her streams. The fact that I can work with her is a dream."
"Calm down, you're drooling everywhere."
"Oh, right."
"Since you're too much of a fanboy, I'll get her down." The guard walked off, shaking his head. He walked up the flight of stairs, until he reached a door. He lightly knocked.
"Come in!" A voice called. The guard entered.
"Miss Song? Where are you?" The guard asked as he looked around.
"My room." The guard stopped nervously, before heading over. He lightly knocked on the open door, avoiding looking inside.
"What do you want?"
"Miss Song, it's training time."
"I can't hear you. Just come in." The guard swallowed nervously, before entering.
"I said it's time fo-" The guard paused, staring at the sight before him.
Hana Song was in nothing but a bra and underwear, blowing bubble gum. She had a controller in hand and was blasting enemies on her big screen. She seemed to care little about the amount she was showing.
"Spit it out then." She grumbled.
"It's training time Miss Song." The guard spluttered, turning red.
"Uhhhh, fine." sighed. "I'll be down in a bit. Let me get ready."
"Of course." The guard bowed before quickly leaving the star's room.
Dva sighed again as the door closed. Reluctantly, she put down her controller. Stretching out, she got up from the bed. Heading over to her wardrobe, she pulled out her pilot suit. Slipping into the skintight uniform, something she liked very much, she proceeded to brush her hair. Downing the last of her energy drink, she headed out the door.
The guard was waiting by the door, face no longer red. smiled at him before going downstairs. She reached the bottom floor, before entering another door at the bottom. The guard followed her. The door lead to a lift which the two took.
Down, down, down it went, the only sound being the mechanical grinding of the gears and blowing bubbles with her gum.
"H-How was your gaming session Miss Song?" The guard asked.
"It was going well before I was interrupted."
"I'm sorry. I had orders."
"I know you did." Dva chuckled. "I'm just messing with you."
The guard gave off a chuckle as well, feeling a little more relaxed around the pilot.
The lift came to a stop. The doors opened to a large, underground bunker, filled with Mekas.
"Ready to train?" The guard asked.
Soldier groaned as he sat up. He was back on his bed, his mask off and gun to his side. His vision was blurry and he felt drowsy.
"Ana?" He asked.
"Oh good, you're up." Ana replied.
"What happened?"
"You were getting too loud. So I put you to sleep." Ana shrugged. She walked over with a cup of tea. "Here, drink up."
Soldier looked at her, before accepting the drink.
"We need to do something." Soldier sighed, taking a sip.
"Which means?"
"Something about Talon. We can't keep sitting back. Not when lives are being lost."
"As far as the world is concerned, we're dead Jack. Showing our faces is going to attract attention. From Talon, Overwatch and the government."
"From Overwatch?" Soldier looked confused.
"If Overwatch finds out that two of their best members are alive and fighting Talon, some may join back. We don't know if Winston is recalling Overwatch, but any activity is illegal. We may recruit some who would then get into a lot of trouble for their actions."
"That's true." Soldier agreed. "I'm not sure what we can do then."
"Attacking head on is stupid, especially with just us two. And it'll be hard to sneak into Talon and take out their bosses, no matter how good we get. And the longer we wait, the stronger they get."
"So what do we do?"
"Well, I did some thinking and..."
"You can stop right there if you're about to suggest joining Winston and Lena." Soldier growled.
"Listen to me Jack."
"I don't like this idea."
"We aren't joining them." Soldier pauses, looking at Ana. "We won't join them Jack. But we'll send a message."
"Saying?"
"Overwatch activity is illegal. And that we disagree with the actions they are taking. But Talon need to be taken down. There are people behind you and will join you in time. Keep fighting."
"You think they'll know it's from us?" Soldier asked.
Ana shrugged. "Who knows. But they need to be aware that they aren't alone."
And now is in the mix! Gotta have all characters soon. And yes, I have seen the adorable hamster that's been added. He'll join soon... hope you all enjoyed!
