Chapter 36

Reinhardt staggered backwards, blood trickling from his jaw. He leaned on his hammer for support, the pain in his back throbbing. Looking through his swollen eye, he saw Doomfist smirk as he approached him.

"You're tough, I'll give you that." Doomfist laughed. "Especially for an old man. I know who you are. I know you've served many years. Surprised you haven't retired."

"Tried. Failed. Tried again. Failed." Reinhardt coughed. "Seems I always end up on the battlefield."

"I guess you'll die on it too." Doomfist cracked his neck.

"You act like that's an issue." Reinhardt chuckled, standing up properly. "As long as I protect this castle, I'll happily die."

"Looks like you'll die in misery." Doomfist told him. He turned around and looked at the old castle, one of Germany's greatest historical landmarks. Talon has infiltrated it, and we're starting to bring it down. Chunks of bricks fell from the top, crashing down onto the bridge. Broken windows were being smashed in, and Talon wasn't letting anyone through.

"I can't let you take this place away." Reinhardt growled.

"Then defeat me here and now. If you do, Talon will retreat."

An eyebrow was raised. "And by defeat?"

"I mean one of us is leaving alive." Doomfist growled.

Reinhardt sighed. "I've killed many protecting Germany. What's one more?" Letting out a roar, Reinhardt ran forwards, holding his hammer high above him. Swinging it down, Doomfist jumped out of the way, the hammer leaving cracks where it landed. Doomfist turned and delivered and uppercut to the german's chin, making him stumble into the wall. Reinhardt spat out a broken tooth, not letting the heavy blow faze him. Swinging his hammer upwards, a blast of fire was let loose from it, and was hurled towards Doomfist. The Talon leader did not expect the attack, and the fire swarmed his body. Doomfist grunted as he took a step back, a burn mark on his chest.

"Annoyance." He spat, charging up his fist. He was thrown forwards, the punch making contact with Reinhardt gut. The man was pushed further into the wall, and the bridge over them both cracked slightly. Doomfist ripped the hammer away from him.

"Now what's your plan?" Doomfist asked, drowning back his fist and punching Reinhardt even further into the brick wall. Reinhardt coughed up some blood, grunting in pain and punch after punch made contact with him. The bridge above them both crackled and crumbled, dust and a few small stones falling away from it.

"You think you're a hero?" Doomfist chuckled. "Overwatch should've stayed down."

"What is it with you..." Reinhardt groaned, temporality stopping Doomfist. "All this chaos, all this destruction, for what? Are you just simply evil?"

"Evil is a strong word." Doomfist answered, gripping the German by the throat. "We see the world in different ways Crusader. You have honour and glory for protecting your home, and that is commendable. However, I believe the only way forward for humanity is battle. The strongest move forward in the word, the weakest fall. Remove the weakest link, the world gets stronger. That, is how humanly is. Survival of the fittest."

"And how much... do you believe in that." Reinhardt looked at him, a trickle of blood rolling down his chin.

"If someone in Talon isn't strong enough, they're out. That goes for everyone. Every grunt, every member on the council, even our leader. Even me. If I fall, I simply wasn't strong enough and deserve to be gone."

"Your ideologies are all over the place." Reinhardt spat as he attempted to push himself free from the brick surrounding him, yet Doomfist held him in place. "We don't remove the weakest links in the world. We teach them. We train them. We make them stronger to move forwards. We make everyone strong." He reached up and grabbed the hand around his throat, tightening his grip. Doomfist growled and tried to pull away, but Reinhardt didn't let go. "The world is incredible and everyone has potential. You're strong, that's a fact. Everyone can become as strong as you. Your only issue is your mindset."

"Fool. You've never experienced true power, you wouldn't know."

"Then show me!" Reinhardt cried, pushing his enemy back. Reinhardt smashed the brick around him with sheer force, staggering onto his feet. "I've heard enough from you. You think only the strong can make it. Prove it to me. This was just a warm up. The fight begins now."

Doomfist smirked. "If you weren't an enemy, I'd accept you into Talon. You have as much spirit as I. But not enough courage."


"Your music is actually really cool." Lucio said to Maria. "Liking the mix of jazz and hip hop. Have you published any of this yet?"

"What, publish, of course not." Maria replied frantically, waving her hands. "I couldn't do that, no one would I like."

"I certainly do." Lucio smiled. "In fact, I could show it to my producer if you'd like. Maybe we could work something out."

"You... you'd do that for me?" Maria asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah, your music is awesome! Can you sing as well?"

"Oh... um... I don't think I'm that good..."

"I'm sure you're great." Lucio smiled. "Here, what's your contact information? I'll get in contact with you personally."

Maria's smile grew larger by the second. She want to search through her pockets, but suddenly, an ear rippling explosion happened just behind them. Lucio dived onto Maria, shielding her from the blast. Screams and cries were heard throughout the area as smoke billowed upwards into the air. Lucio raised his head, just to see armed men running round the area, forcing people onto their knees and holding guns to heads.

"Lucio... what's... happening?" Maria whimpered.

"Just run. Now." Lucio muttered.

"Are you coming?"

"No. Run! Now!" Lucio got up from the floor and ran towards one of the armed men. He reached him before they even saw him coming. He drew back his elbow and struck the Talon member across the jaw, knocking him unconscious in an instant. With a few seconds of freedom, Lucio applied his skates, allowing higher mobility.

"Hey!" A voice yelled. Lucio turned around to see a skinny, topless man surrounded by the armed men. "What are you doing?"

"Who are you?" Lucio asked, slowing pulling out his sonic amplifier.

The man cackled. "Immmmmmm Junkrat! Explosion extraordinaire! Did I use that right?" He added in a whisper to one of the men surrounding him, who nodded with a sigh.

"What are you doing here?" Lucio growled.

"ITS A TALON ATTACK!" Junkrat yelled wildly, bursting into laughter. "Location, Belgium."

"B-Brazil sir." The man muttered.

"Doesn't matter. So bud, if you wanna get in the way, get through my literal army of me, 'kay?"

"If I must." Lucio sighed. "You aren't hurting this city. Not while I'm here."

The next update shouldn't be too long I hope. Please forgive me
