Chapter 34
Reinhardt looked down below. Talon troops were swarming the castle. Despite it not being valuable, it was the center point of Germany, and held historical and legendary memories. And seeing it be disrupted by those wanting power filled Reinhardt with rage. He didn't even think twice about how he would approach the situation. He needed to get rid of Talon as quickly as possible. Turning the ship, the craft was aimed straight downwards. Reinhardt felt his stomach lurch as he spiralled the ship downwards. Taking his hands off the controls, he gripped his hammer, ready to make a big impact.
"Anyone hear that?" One of the Talon soldiers asked.
"Probably one of our ships flying overhead." Another answered.
"Yeah, nothing to worry about." The first looked up. "OH GOD WORRY, WORRY!" The pair scattered as the ship Reinhardt was flying came crashing down, sending debris everywhere. They dived to the floor, covering their heads to avoid being hurt by the impact. They turned round to look at the smoking ship.
"T-that's not our..." The first one said slowly.
"You've made a big mistake coming here." A voice growled.
"It spoke!" The second shouted in a panic.
From within the ship, Reinhardt stepped out, hammer in hand, glaring at the two. "I'll give you two the opportunity to run now."
The second Talon agent pulled out a pistol and fired at the hulking figure. The bullet bounced off his armour.
"We... choose run." The man said, shaking.
"Good choice." Reinhardt nodded. He put on his helmet, turned around, and stomped towards the castle where the rest of the agents were swarming.
"We need that castle." A voice boomed. Reinhardt stopped dead, raising his head. Above him on an overhead was one of the Talon leaders, Doomfist.
"It's not yours." Reinhardt told him, gripping his hammer.
"That's not the point." Doomfist replied. "Talon is taking over. Operation: Black Hole has already started and will not stop until it is finished. Do not get in my way."
"I won't let people like you take over a legendary part of German history!"
"Then try and stop me." Doomfist invited. Reinhardt glared at him, and swung his hammer in Doomfist's direction. The tip of the hammer let loose a wave of fire towards the Talon leader, who jumped to avoided. He landed in front of Reinhardt, clenching his mechanical fist.
"You dug your own grave." Doomfist smirked.
"Wait... what's that sound?" Brigitte muttered to herself. She jumped off her bed and ran to the bedroom window. Nothing was happening to the left. But peering down the road to the city, she saw smoke rising and people fleeing from the scene. Two ships flew over her house, heading towards the city.
"What is all of that racket!" Torbjorn bellowed from downstairs. Brigitte looked at the amour she had thrown onto the floor. She hadn't touched it since returning hone. But after seeing the smoke, all she could think about was throwing it on.
She reacted instantly. Trying to ignore the panicked screams from outside, she put on her armour, grabbed her flail, and ran down the stairs.
"WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING!" Her dad roared from behind her.
"I-I'm going to help." Brigitte told him.
"You just got in trouble with the government!" Torbjorn snapped.
Brigitte swallowed thickly. "For Overwatch activity. This is protecting my city." She didn't look back as she swung the door open and ran towards the chaos. As she did so, she noticed the people coming towards her. Each one had fear on their faces, some with brusies or cuts on their faces, clothes torn. Brigitte didn't know what the cause of the madness was, but she was going to put an end to it.
Coming to the end of the street, she checked around at the shops. Windows were shattered, doors were kicked down and smoke was rising from a few of them. It didn't take her long to figure out who was behind the attack. Leaving one of the shops was a man dressed in a Talon out fit. He didn't notice Brigitte as she snuck up on him. As soon as she was close enough, she dashed forwards and bashed him with her shield, knocking him forwards. He staggered before quickly turning, gun raised.
"And you are?" He asked with a hiss.
"None of your concern." Brigitte spat. "What does Talon want here?"
The man sniggered. "What does Talon want with one of Sweden's most powerful cities. Surely you Swedes aren't that dumb."
Brigitte bared her teeth and ran forwards. The man aimed his gun and fired, yet the bullets were harmlessly absorbed by Brigitte's barrier. She struck the agent again with the shield, before slamming her elbow into this temple. Brigitte glared down at the man, then her eyes darted back towards the city. A building fell. She didn't know if anyone was coming to help. She was on her own.
And she was ready. Without hesitasion, she ran into the city.
Again, sorry it's late! I hope you all enjoyed it, Merry Christmas once again!
