"We were planning to kill you all now, but it seems we chose the wrong moment. I didn't imagine Overwatch would start recruiting." Reaper said, holding his shotguns at his sides and speaking as if they were friends at a lunch meeting. Although no amount of friendliness hid the evil, the cruelty, in his voice. On the rooftops and in the surrounding streets Talon soldiers appeared, coming out of hiding.
"Helix is informed." Pharah whispered to Tracer. "They hear it all."
"Why are you here, Reaper? Why are you and Talon here?" Tracer asked, speaking louder than usual for Helix to hear her. She wanted them to hear all the details. Talon was after them. Talon was the threat not Overwatch.
"To kill you of course." Reaper said. "You won't be getting away from me this time."
"If you think we are intimidated by you and some criminals then you are very mistaken." Pharah said, her voice booming, loud and clear for everyone.
"Ah, Pharah. The pride of Helix Security International, leader of the security team that deactivated Anubis." Reaper said. "Quite bothersome, we were hoping Anubis would talk care of Helix for us."
"That…was you?! Don't you realize that jeopardizing something as important as that AI could've caused death all over the world?! It wouldn't even help you!" Pharah yelled. McCree put a hand on her shoulder and she took a deep breath, calming down.
"Yes, that was the plan." Reaper answered casually. "You're just like your mother, all about the people and very honorable. I hope you'll be just as much fun to kill as she was."
As soon as the words had left Reaper's mouth Pharah went eye-wide. She tried to speak but nothing came out. Her breathing got noticeable faster and she clenched her fists. McCree tried to pull her a step back but she shrugged him off.
"Y-you…you killed my mother…" Pharah muttered, her calm voice filled with a promise of danger.
"She wasn't much of a challenge. Very disappointing for a former Overwatch agent." Reaper said with a cruel chuckle. "It was fun to suck the life out of her, watching the light dim from her eyes as she reached out for a picture of you."
"You will pay for your crimes!" Pharah yelled. She flew into the air and extended her arms. "Justice rains from above!" As soon as the words left her mouth a salvo of missiles left her suit, Reaper vanished in black smoke and the missiles hit the group of soldiers. Reinhardt immediately turned to cover McCree with his armored body, as the other soldiers began firing at them. Tracer gave a nod to them and zipped into a side street. Extra gunshots confirmed that she was keeping them busy. Reaper reappeared on one of the rooftops and Pharah flew to him, tackling him off and flying upwards. As he stumbled up she raised her arm and shot a concussive blast, sending him into a wall. Before he could get up she took out her rocket launcher and began firing wildly at him, crumbling that section of the building. A plume of dust rose and she lowered her weapon, breathing heavily. She ignored the others, all of them. Her new allies and her enemies. All she wanted to see was a dead Reaper.
"Death comes." His voice rasped behind her, as he suddenly appeared in a flash of red. Pharah spun to see him standing, perfectly fine, on the rooftop. He fired with both shotguns and, either by luck or skill, hit a vital spot. One of Pharah's boosters sputtered and smoke left it as she fell to the ground. Reaper disappeared and in a flash of red reappeared next to her, a shotgun aimed at her face. Pharah chuckled and nodded at his feet. He looked down to see and explosive. Pharah rolled so her armored back faced it and Reaper turned into black smoke as it exploded. When he looked around Pharah was nowhere in sight. He growled and turned back to the others, McCree and Reinhardt were now ravaging his men. As Reinhardt ran into them, using his hammer to force them back or smash them McCree stayed father behind and with deadly accuracy picked them off.
"So much highly trained men…yet so weak." Reaper murmured. He was walking towards them when he suddenly felt something stick to his back. "What the-"
"Cheers love." Tracer said with a wink. Reaper yelled angrily and turned into black smoke once more. The bomb that Tracer stuck to him disappeared with him and didn't blow. As he reappeared and faced Tracer she smiled widely.
"What is so funny!" Reaper roared.
"It's funny that you thought you could beat us alone." Tracer said cheerfully. She glanced to her left and he turned to see Pharah in front of him. She raised her fist and threw a quick punch but much to her surprise, he dropped one of his shotguns and held her fist.
"Enough games." He murmured. He let go and quickly punched her in the face, shooting her in the stomach right after. Tracer yelled out and pulled her guns, firing at him. He disappeared and reappeared behind her and Tracer blinked farther away, avoiding his bullets. He laughed cruelly and kept firing at her, not giving her a moment to breath. All she could was blink her and there. Suddenly he felt someone grab his shoulder and spin him around, much to his surprise, it was Pharah glaring at him in pain.
"You're right, enough games." She murmured as she punched him in the face just as she fired a concussive blast, sending him far away, threw a wall and next to McCree. McCree lifted him with his free arm and smashed him against a wall. He put a gun under Reaper's chin.
"Justice won't dispense itself." He muttered, spitting out his cigar. Just as he was about to finish Reaper off, another gun sounded. Louder, much louder. McCree growled as his metallic arm was shot and dropped Reaper, rolling behind a wall. Reaper looked up to see one of his jets hovering over one of the buildings, in front of the ship was Widowmaker, her face as serious as ever. Tracer fired a few shots before taking cover as McCree did and Reinhardt formed his shield in front of Pharah as five bullets suddenly hit it.
With her here, this is over. Reaper thought as he grabbed his weapons and walked toward McCree's hiding spot. The outcome of this situation was unsure, Talon had the advantage. The other soldiers got up and went to Reaper, guns up and ready. Before much more could happen a loud noise resonated and everyone froze, even Widowmaker.
"Come get some you bastards!" A voice yelled. Reaper didn't recognize it but Tracer laughed.
"Alessandro, love, is that you? Who's with you?" She asked. Suddenly, over the buildings and easy for everyone to see, was a small jet hovering with its weapons ready. In the pilot's seat was Mercy, at the doorway on the side of the jet was Winston and, more concealed but with a megaphone in hand, was Alessandro smiling widely.
"Hey guys! Rough day?" He asked.
"I think we can talk later." Mercy told him. He shrugged and Winston smiled widely, firing his tesla cannon. The Talon ship that was also on the roof immediately flew away, the soldiers yelled out but could do nothing as electricity arced over their bodies. Widowmaker, skilled as she is, immediately jumped off the roof. She shot her grappling hook and a moment later was pulled to Reaper. He held onto her and she shot her grappling hook upwards, both of the heading to the rooftop and retreating.
"Nice shot Winston!" Alessandro praised, peeking his head out. "What about the other soldiers on the ground?"
"Reinhardt can take care of them." Winston said with a chuckle. On cue Reinhardt laughed and turned to face them, wielding his hammer. Two of the soldiers looked at each other, then back at Reinhardt, and then dropped their weapons. The rest followed shortly after. "Come on board, Helix is about to arrive. They can't run, but we need to get out of here."
"McCree, help me with Pharah! Mercy, I'll drive you need to take care of her. She's injured." Tracer said, appearing in a blink next to Pharah and lifting the injured women, hanging Pharah's arm around herself. McCree ran to them and together they took her to the ship, Reinhardt followed shortly after and a minute later they rose into the sky.
"Attention Overwatch agents, stand down! Land your vehicle and turn yourselves in." A voice said over the intercom. "This is Helix Security International, you are under arrest!"
"You've got to be kidding." Alessandro muttered. Winston growled but there was nothing he could do.
"Strap yourselves in, something tells me this isn't going to be a smooth ride." Tracer called from the pilot's seat. Everyone did as told, McCree carefully strapping Pharah to a seat, and Tracer suddenly sped off. Two Helix fighter jets right behind them. Tracer cursed and did an aerial roll, dodging the bullets being shot at them. Alessandro was turning green and he covered his mouth as Tracer spun again and suddenly descended, flying a few meters over the rooftops. As the two fighter jets opened fire Tracer smirked and spun sideways, flying like that in between the buildings. She raced in between them until they left, opening up into plain desert. The Pyramids were in view now, farther away surrounded by smaller buildings. The sun was setting and it gave them a beautiful appearance. Tracer couldn't enjoy it right now, the two jets reappeared above her and the console beeped insistently, indicating enemy missiles. Tracer groaned and suddenly went up and then down, going over the enemy aircraft and lowering behind them. The missiles were still on her tail but she sped forward, in between the jets, and as she passed them the two missiles hit their owners.
"Athena, are they alive?" Tracer asked, only the slightest bit of panic in her voice.
"Both pilots ejected in time, they'll be picked up." Athena informed. Tracer sighed in relief and let the AI take control of the jet, walking back to see how the rest were doing.
"Hello loves, little bumpy wasn't it?" She asked with a giggle.
"I think my stomach and several organs are stuck in Egypt." Alessandro murmured as he clutched his stomach.
"That makes two of us." Winston said, looking as sick as the boy. Mercy was already up and tending to Pharah, who was either sleeping or unconscious. McCree and Reinhardt gave her a nod, although Reinhardt looked like he could use some medical attention himself.
"We'll talk about what happened later, for now let's hurry home and simply rest." Tracer said as she walked back to the front, smiling as she saw the sun setting behind the pyramids of Giza.
She really had missed that view.
