Somehow I've managed to get ahead on chapters for this story. It means I'm slightly behind on the other one, but I've just gotten a burst of inspiration for this story. No idea what chapter it'll end, somewhere in the thirties I'm guessing. Reviews and constructive critisicm is welcome. Enjoy!
Chapter 27
"Why should we do with them Mei?" Andrew asked, looking at the ship's crew. All of the prisoners had tied them up with rope found on the ship, and they were currently all on the deck.
"Leave them for now." Mei answered. "Once we get back to land, we can get the authorities to take them in. Of course, you're all witnesses as to what happened."
"What will you do?"
"I need to look for someone." Mei remembered the distress signal from Winston which started her whole journey. "A friend needs me."
Andrew just nodded in response, before going over to the now free captive to explain the situation. On the other hand, Mei walked away back below the deck of the ship, looking for a room. She found an empty one, and pulled the book out. She wanted to take another look at it, especially Operation: Black Hole.
Opening it up, she flickered through the pages, trying to find the right page. But she couldn't help herself but read everything. Each page had something different on. Either certain type of machines, weapons, instructions, locations, everything. And as the background of each page, a strange symbol was there. She recognised the symbol as the same one that was on the flags and building back in the Artic when she was first captured.
"Interesting." She muttered to herself. She flicked over to the page with the operation on it. It was a map of the world, with some cities marked. One in England, Korea, Japan, two in American, two in Africa, Sweden, Brazil, Nepal and Germany. Studying the map closer, she noticed that there use to be a mark for Russia, but had been rubbed off.
"Operation: Black Hole." Mei found the section talking about the operation. And her eyes widened in horror as she read.
"Stay down." Soldier yelled as he struck the last guard down to the floor. He straightened up, panting. He looked back to his team, to find them doing the same.
"We done here?" Genji asked.
"Seems so." Mercy replied. "Everyone stay still, I'll patch you u-"
"No. We need to leave, now." Soldier cut her off.
"Everyone head to the bottom of the prison. There'll be something we can use to get off." Ana commanded.
"We looking for a boat?" Tracer asked.
"That will be the most useful, yes."
"I'll get one ready." Tracer beamed, before vanishing into time.
"She wants to do every little thing." Soldier growled, beginning to run.
"She's just as useful though." Winston reminded him.
"Attention, attention. We need every guard on this operation, repeat, every guard. Find and arrest Overwatch. Use any force needed." Chairwoman Ruby's voice rang out.
"They're getting serious." Mercy said.
"Then we will to." Pharah replied, loading up her launcher. "Keep going."
The group stopped as Tracer reappeared in front of them. "I found a ship that can hold all of us. It's at the bottom of the prison and it looks like we can just sail it out."
"Good job Lena." Reinhardt praised her.
"Show us." Soldier told her.
"Try to keep up." She giggled, running off the direction. The group followed her down a set of stairs, coming to a large room. It sat just on top of the water, with many exits leading out into the sea around it. The room itself had boats tied to it, all of which could be used to get out.
"This one." Tracer pointed to a ship, which wasn't one of the biggest ones, but could easily hold the whole team.
"Perfect Lena, excellent work." Ana patted her on the back.
"Everyone on board." Soldier yelled.
"Halt!" A voice rang out. Overwatch turned to the door they had come through, just to see a large troop of guards swarming into the room. In front of them was the Chairwoman, who had a look of pure anger on her face. "Drop your weapons. Now."
Soldier ignored her and took aim. "Back off. We're leaving."
"Unlikely." Ruby clicked her fingers. Every guard in the room raised their guns, aiming directly at Overwatch. "You will drop your weapons and come with us quietly."
"What's the plan?" Ana whispered to Soldier.
"Ana, get on the boat and start it up. Reinhardt, keep your barrier high. Everyone will hold them off until we can leave."
"I said, drop your weapons!" Ruby yelled.
"GO!" Soldier bellowed. Reinhardt's barrier flung out and protected the entire team. Ana threw one of her grenades towards the guards before running onto the ship. Genji and Tracer readied their weapons veocre leaping into the fray long with Winston. Pharah, Soldier and Mercy stayed behind Reinhardt's barrier, doing as much as possible to thin the numbers of those attacking them.
"Bet I can take out more then you." Tracer challenged Genji as they dodged and ducked bullets.
"You're on." Genji smiled beneath his mask. He dashed forwards, taking out five guards in a single attack. "Just hope you're up to it."
"Quit screwing around and get ready to go." Soldier yelled at them. He narrowed his eyes as he heard a small giggle from behind him. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, nothing." Mercy replies, smiling widely. "It's just nice to seem is all together. Even with the years Overwatch has been apart, you're stoll giving orders to them like they're new, and they still find time to mess around. Although it's been years and we've all changed, it feels like nothing has changed, you know?"
Soldier understood where she was coming from. Although he didn't reply and continued firing shots, he understood. He had missed working as a team, despite wanting to always go solo. He was reluctant to work with Ana when he met up with her, yet it had proved useful. And now, seeing his old team working together brought back so many memories he had missed. He even felt a little proud, as he saw how their style of combat had evolved to their own taste, yet the basic Overwatch training he had taught them years ago was still showing.
"Boat ready Mom?" Pharah called to Ana.
"It's ready! Just untie the rope." Ana yelled back.
"Everyone come back, we're going!" Soldier roared. Instantly, Tracer, Winston and Genji came scurrying back, narrowly behind hit.
"Barrier won't hold up much longer." Reinhardt grunted as the shield cracked.
"I've got it." Winston put down his bubble, which temporarily took some of the heat off Reinhardt's equipment.
Tracer undid the rope that bound the boat in place before joining the rest of the team.
"Bring that boat down!" Ruby screeched at her men, who instantly changed targets from Overwatch to the boat.
"Go go go." Soldier yelled, his voice starting to go hoarse.
"We won't make it out in time, we need to hold them off." Ana shouted back, attempting to steer the boat out of the prison.
"Should we get to the deck and fire back?" Genji asked.
"No." Winston answered. "I'll hold them back."
He didn't even wait for a reply from everyone else. He dropped his Tesla cannon and began to run across the deck. His muscles bulged out as he jumped extremely high into the air, before crashing down into the group of guards. Seemingly unaffected by their shots, Winston swung wildly, easily knocking off their feet. Ruby had to duck just to avoid being hit by the bodies of her soldiers. All of the guards turned their attention to the enraged scientist, allowing Overwatch to finally sail out without difficulty.
"Should we wait for him?" Tracer asked, peering over the side of the boat to see Winston sent another group soaring back.
"He'll make it." Soldier shrugged. "Ana, get us back to base."
"Understood." Ana headed back to the bridge of the ship.
"Thank you for saving us." Genji nodded at her.
"Of course, we are Overwatch." She smiled back.
"WINSTON!" Soldier roared at him. The angry gorilla stopped flinging guards around like toys, looking back at the boat. "Let's go!" Winston grunted, dropping the guard he had in his hand. Slamming the ground, he launched himself high into the air and out of the prison. The soared over the distance between the prison and the boat and easily landed on the boat, causing it to rock.
"Nice one big guy." Tracer giggled. Winston's rage subsided and he let out a sigh.
"Can we be done now?" He asked.
"Don't worry, we are." Soldier told him.
And they are finally free, while Mei has discovered what Opteration: Black Hole. Gave a little hint, can you guess what it is? But just another chapter or so before it comes into effect. Hopefully you all enjoyed!
