Chapter 31
Lucio happily walked around Rio de Janeiro, taking in all of the sights. He had the day off and everything was packed for the flight in the evening. He didn't have any meet ups, or meetings, or anything. So he took his time to look around before heading for Italy. His hope was to get a few things to remember his performance, despite the amount of fan art and stuff given to him at various meet ups. He was also planning to stop by the stadium, just as Arnold had suggested.
As he want around, covered in a large, brown coat and a had to hide his appearance, he saw many people with some of his merchandise. Hats, tops, some with the skates, others with a toy sound amplifier. He was so happy that people loved what he did and wanted to support him. He was just glad he could share his music with others, despite the way he got it.
However, every once and a while, he had to duck behind some cover, trying not to be spotted by groups of fans. As much as he wanted to go over and say hi, if all of Brazil knew he was currently there, it could end up being dangerous.
"Hey." A soft voice said. Lucio spun around quickly, just to find a young woman smiling at him. He recognised the purple top, as it was a little ripped in places.
"Hey..." Lucio replied, slightly turning his head away.
"I won't say anything." The woman smiled at him. "I wanted to say thank you. You saved my life."
Lucio, knowing he had been caught, sighed, but turned to her. "You needed help. I'm just glad you're okay."
"I'm more then okay, because my hero saved me." She said. "My name is Maria. And... you've actually been a huge inspiration to me."
"How so?" Lucio asked.
"Um... w-well... I've written some of my own music... and I was wonder-"
"Pass it." Lucio said, holding his hand out. "I wanna hear it." Maria beamed brightly and gave Lucio her phone. She opened the music open and let Lucio have a small listen.
"Hey... this is really good." Lucio praised as it went on. "I can hear your passion as you sing, and the music mixing is awesome. Maria, this is incredible."
"It is?" She asked, a tear of happiness appearing in her eye. "Oh, you have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you. Oh... but you must be busy. Sorry for wasting you time."
"No, no. I'm actually free today." Lucio told her. "Got any more songs I could hear?"
"Come on, hurry." Dva called back as she ran off.
"Miss Song, slow down." The guard huffed, struggling to keep up.
"Hey, I can't keep calling you guard." Dva thought. "What's your name?"
"My name... it's Scolar. Ryan Scolar."
"Okay Ryan, let's go." Dva smiled. The guard blinked a few times, bewildered that she called him by his first name, but quickly ran after her.
"So want do you want to do today?" He asked her. "We have all of Busan and all of today."
"Just look at some shops and stuff. Maybe meet a few fans if any are here." Dva shrugged.
"Of course there are fans here Miss Song. You're a sensation, the world loves you." Ryan said.
"Aren't you the sweetest." Dva smirked. "Let's go."
"Land ho!" Andrew called. Mei ran over to him, just to see along the horizon a mass of land. Instantly, humans and omnics like began to cheer, happy that they were finally free. Mei smiled, and ran back to her backpack, where Snowball was staying. Opening it, she pulled out a laptop she had taken from Antarctica.
"Maybe I can contact Winston now..." She muttered, rapidly typing in on her keyboard. Not even a minute later, she was calling him. "Pick up... pick up..."
"Er, hello?" Winston's voice came out of the laptop.
"Winston!" Mei happily cried. "Is that you?"
"Why yes, it is." Winston replied. "Who is th-"
"Give me that!" Another recognisable voice was heard. "Is this Mei?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Commander Amari." Ana said. "What happened out there Mei? We were worried sick when we lost contact with your team."
"Well... they have passed." Mei said sadly. "Our cryo freeze chambers malfunctioned and..."
"That's all we need Mei." Ana said calmly. "We're just glad you're okay. Are you still in the Artic?"
"No. I actually got caught on a ship, but broke free, as well as lots of humans and omnics. We have the ones who trapped us, and what seems to be a guide book with the name "Talon," on it."
"Talon!" A third voice was heard, a lower, gruff one. "Mei, this is Commander Morrison. What does that book say."
"Oh, well, it seems to have marked locations around the world. Called "Operation: Black Hole."
"Where is marked?"
"Hold on." Mei opened the book and peered at it again. "England, two spots in America, Sweden, Eygpt, Numbani, Japan, Germany, Nepal, Korea and Brazil."
"And does it have a description of the plan?" Winston asked.
"Yeah. Talon members will be stationed at each place. The overall goal is to take down the city. It's all of the big places in the countries. London, for example, is the one in England marked."
"Emily is there!" Mei heard another voice. "Commander, I need to get there now."
"Go Tracer." Soldier barked. "Reinhardt, get to Germany now. Mei, where again?"
"Erm, Eygpt and er... Numbani."
"Ana, Pharah, get to Egypt. You know it well." Soldier shouted. "Genji, I'm putting you in Japan, go."
"I'm going with him." Mercy said.
"Whatever." Soldier hissed. "Torbjorn should be in Sweden, he'll help out."
"So will his daughter." Reinhardt called. "I've been working with Brigitte and she'll stop at nothing."
"Good. What do we do about Nepal?"
"My master Zenyatta is there Commander. He'll defend the place." Genji answered.
"How many people did Winston find?" Mei wondered.
"What about Numbani?" Ana asked.
"We met a defence Omnic there called Orisa. She should be there now." Winston said.
"Winston, head to Brazil. I'll stay in America. Mei, where exactly?"
"Oh, um. For Japan, the city of Hanamura. It's Rio de Janeiro for Brazil. Eichenwalde in Germany. Hollywood in America. Erm, King's Row in England."
"What do we do about Korea?" Genji inquired.
"Korea has their own special defence force, they should be able to handle it." Traces said.
"Everyone, get to a ship and get going. Mei, where are you?" Soldier shouted.
"I'm not sure, I'm reaching land now. I'll just keep you all updated on what's happening."
"Good idea. Overwatch, go!" The call ended and Mei was left alone.
"I never said about America's second location..."
They know the plan, they know where it's happening, but they don't know who they're facing or how to win. We know who they're facing though! Hopefully you all enjoyed! SNEEK PEEK TIME
"Excellent." He smiled at the screens. On each one, cameras where high in the air, looking down onto the cities. He watched as his agents swarm the city, as well as people Reaper had recruited. Roadhog especially seemed to be having fun, simply pointing to order the Talon forces.
"Good work Talon." The Talon leader smiled beneath his mask. "Soon the world will be ours."
