Haven't had the time to write in a while, so here's the third chapter!
Responding to reviews
ThePomftato932: Thanks, once again! Once I get my Beta account up, I think I could use you as an editor. Until then, keep reviewing.
dunnamjosh5: I really need more time. Don't expect me to update this regularly.
ecoolasice: I'm planning on hiding that for later. ;)
Blue writer 22: Thanks!
Also, if you guys are wondering what my character looks like, here's his face on Imgur: imgur,com/PUSbXuY
For his body, I based this off of a Minecraft skin I made, found on Planet Minecraft: planetminecraft,com/skin/white-haired-teen-3813195/
Tetsuya was still reading up on the world that they were in. "Hmm... Looks like we are actually in a different universe. I don't remember the mention of an organization named 'Overwatch' anywhere. On one hand, I get to see what this place is like. On the other hand, we're stuck here until that drive is fixed," Tetsuya said. A few moments after they headed to Gibraltar, Ghost had gone to check on the drive, and found that the Vex tech had been fried from the jump. In addition, half of the data in the drive core was corrupted, so they couldn't do a standard jump anywhere until that was fixed. He glanced at his right arm, made just before the Darkness had arrived. He had lost the original in a lab accident. "
His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Ghost. "Dude, we have a bit of a problem," he said, before pulling up a scan of the quickly approaching Watchpoint:Gibraltar. On it was evidence of the facility being powered, along with multiple life signatures. "Looks like I was wrong. This place has been put into use again."
"Oh, great," Tetsuya replied, "now we're gonna have hide somewhere else! Again! THIS is why I never listen to your plans!" Ghost only glared at Tetsuya, before stopping the ship in midair.
"Look, you want to stay here, be my guest. I still think that's our best bet." Ghost said. Tetsuya grumpily agreed, and the two continued on to the base, touching down on a cliff. What neither of them expected was that the stealth system would run out of power at that moment.

A proximity alarm sounded throughout the base, surprising all that were in it. "Athena, what's going on?" Winston asked.
"The alien vessel has appeared nearby, triggering the proximity alarm." Athena replied. Knowing full-well what might come to pass, Winston had everyone arm themselves and prepare for an attack.
In another part of the base, Angela, Morrison, and Hana were enjoing some of Mei's cooking, when they were interrupted by the alarm. Two of the participants rushed off to arm themselves, leaving Mei and Hana confused, until Winston announced that they must prepare for an attack.

"You had one job! ONE JOB! What did you do?" Tetsuya yelled at Ghost, while shaking the construct in his hands.
"You know full well that the stealth systems can't stay on permanently! I had no idea that it would run out of power when we touched down!" Ghost replied.
Tetsuya then grabbed his armor, while Ghost transmatted himself away, before the two hopped out of the ship. They were not expecting to run into a large force of people all aiming weapons at him. "Suros regime! NOW!" Tetsuya said, before rushing out, firing wildly.

The moment the Omnic stepped out of cover with a strange rifle in its hands, Winston knew something was wrong. The rifle matched no known make of weapon, and was colored white and red, with the word Suros emblazoned along the side. There was no company named Suros that existed. When he came out of his thoughts, the Omnic had already injured five people within two seconds. "OPEN FIRE!" Winston yelled, forcing the Omnic back into cover.
Angela tended to the five wounded soldiers, before turning back to the Omnic. How powerful is it? Angela asked herself, before returning to the fight.

Tetsuya had noticed something about the group. They were scattered in groups, and that meant that an explosion could take them out. He summoned a Solar Grenade and threw it at the group. What he didn't expect was that what appeared to be an Exo armed with a sword would deflect said grenade right back at him. "Whoa!" Tetsuya said, while diving out of the way to a different set of cover. So if that didn't work... Tetsuya thought, a grin forming on his face, then this might work! "Repolarize to Voidwalker!" he shouted. Feeling the Void light coursing through him, he summoned a Nova Bomb and threw it at the group.

Genji did not expect to see a purple ball of energy hurtle towards him. He also wasn't expecting that said attack would split into multiple projectiles. He barely had time to think about this before he was knocked unconscious by the resulting shockwaves.
When the Nova Bomb exploded, it injured a great many and knocked out a great deal more. "My god... What was that?" McCree said, before dodging a shot. "Wait... I have an idea." McCree said, before explaining his plan to Winston.
"Really? You're crazy!" Winston said upon hearing it.
"Best chance." McCree said before stepping out. "HEY! Whoever you are, c'mere a sec! I got a challenge for you!" The firing in their direction abruptly stopped."Now that I have your attention, here's the challenge! If you think you can draw faster than me, come out and prove it! If you win, we'll surrender! If I win, you gotta answer all of our questions." The Omnic then stepped out.
"Deal," it said.

Tetsuya and the cowboy were facing each other. The cowboy had his hand on a revolver, while Tetsuya had his hand on the Last Word. The air was tense, and it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. "DRAW!" the cowboy shouted. Both reached for their weapons lightning-fast and fired them. A flash of sparks appeared, accompanied by a sharp metal ping. A few seconds later, two bullets fell to the ground."Well I'll be," cowboy said, " you ain't half bad. But, a winner needs too be picked, so let's try again." They repeated this process five more times, each ending in the same result. "Looks like we're we'll have to call it a draw," the cowboy said in a defeated tone.
"This is Ghost. I'm in the security system. Patching you in now," a voice said in Tetsuya's head. He grinned, uncovered his right arm, and then popped open a dark panel on it and hacked the defense systems. At that moment, all the turrets on Watchpoint:Gibraltar were aimed at the heroes.
"I have lost control of the entire defense network," Athena said to the heroes, "The hacker currently has all of the systems trained on you." The group turned to look behind them and noticed that they were staring down the business end of several automated guns. They turned back to the Omnic, who had its right arm held in front of it, with a metal plate opened like a laptop screen.
"Yes, it was me. Now, if you don't want to be Swiss cheese in a couple of seconds, I suggest that you all surrender," the Omnic said. Each hero reluctantly agreed. All of them knew how powerful the defenses on the base were. "Now, let me go, and I'll leave. I'm out of here. Oh yeah, and I'll show you what I look like." Ghost mentally slapped himself at that. Tetsuya was being reckless.
"Okay, fine." Winston reluctantly said.
"Just give me a sec," the Omnic said, before its armor disappeared in a flash of light. When their vision cleared, instead of the mechanical being that they were expecting, they saw a man that appeared to be in his early 20s, save for the fact that he had white hair and red eyes. "Hi," he said.
"Uh... We have some questions that need answering. Are you willing to come with us?" Winston asked. Just in case, he had Ana on standby.
"No. I'm gonna get out of here now, see ya!" the man answered, shortly before turning around and running off. He barely made it three steps before a sharp pain erupted in his left shoulder, followed by blackness.
Tetsuya opened his eyes and found himself restrained to a chair in what appeared to be an interrogation room. A door to his right opened, revealing a blonde woman with her hair tied in a ponytail. "Let me introduce myself. I am Angela Ziegler. Tell us what we need to know, and we'll send you on your way." She then picked up a black box from under the table, and attached a set of electrodes to Tetsuya's head. "As you may know, this is a lie detector. Not quite as accurate as I am at reading people, but good enough, for now. First of all, who are you?" Angela said.
"My name is Tetsuya Suzuki," the man in question replied, "can I go now?"
Angela glanced at the readouts from the Lie Detector, and noticed no anomaly. "I'm afraid you can't, Mr. Suzuki. You still need to answer several questions. Where did you come from? Did Talon send you?" She pressed.
Tetsuya resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "No, Talon didn't send me. If I told you where I come from, you wouldn't believe me."
"Hmm. Then we can ask where you come from later. Did you come here for the purpose of shutting us down?" Angela asked. The UN had promised to take action soon. As Overwatch was now illegal, all that were members were criminals, and were to be treated as such.
"No, I was not sent for that either. I just wound up here." Tetsuya said.
"Not a very good alibi, Mr. Suzuki. In fact, I seem to remember seeing you in the Valvidian Forest several weeks ago." Angela said.
"So, you were one of them. And please stop calling me Mr. Suzuki! Tetsuya is just fine!" Tetsuya retorted.
"Tetsuya, then. Why are you here?" Angela asked.
"I'm afraid I can't answer that,"
"Are you here to sever the relationships between humans and Omnics?" Angela pressed.
"By Omnic, if you mean those EXOs that I saw, then no." Tetsuya answered.
What's an Exo? Angela thought, before deciding that she would ask him later about what they were. "You have not given us much information. However, this is sufficient to prove you are innocent. However, due to you not answering further questions, you are forbidden from leaving Watchpoint:Gibraltar until they are." Angela said, before beginning to leave. The restraints on Tetsuya clicked open, and he stood up and said, "Wait! Where's my ship?"
"That has been impounded and moved into the hangar until further notice." Angela replied, before leaving. Tetsuya sat there a moment, before leaving as well.
"Hello, Mr. Suzuki. We have a spare room that you can stay in for the time being." Athena said to Tetsuya. He looked up, surprised, before Ghost told him that it was the bases' resident AI.
"Uh.. Okay, thanks." Tetsuya said, before following Athena's directions to his room. He was happy to have a place to stay, at least. "Hey, Ghost? See if you can't find some stuff about where I am."
"He is strange, to say the least." Angela said to Winston. "He also hasn't given me much information. If he was lying about what he said, then he is very good in hiding it."
Winston thought over Angela's statements. "How is he strange?"
Angela then pulled up a body scan of Tetsuya. "There's not much, but there is an odd energy that I can't identify flowing through him. His prosthetic arm matches no known make or model. Not only that, his ship has technology far ahead of our time."
"I still don't think we should trust him completely. I'll get Athena looking into the Talon bases. In the meantime, try to build up trust between him and us."
"Yes sir."
Tetsuya was currently inside his room, thinking. So, if the tech is burned out, then we're stuck here. I'm stuck here until it's fixed. So, what should I- Tetsuya's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Ghost.
"I'm back. Did some digging, didn't find anything about a potential Mars mission. I did, however, find some weird stuff, like a place called 19 or some asylum called Mount-" Ghost said, shortly before being cut off.
"I'm gonna stop you there. Is the a chance we can fix the drive?"
"Ooh, yeah, that. It's gonna take several months." Tetsuya groaned and hung his head. He was going to be stuck here for a while. Until then, all that could be done was to cooperate with Overwatch.
And Chapter 3 is DONE! Took a while, but it's fun. I still think this could use a little more work, so let me know if you find anything I can change. Rules are the same as last time. Plot errors, grammar mistakes, and the likes. Thank you.
Also, if you caught the reference in the last bit, good for you!
