Overwatch: Last Stand

Chapter 10: Showdown at Dorado

Melody returned to the Overwatch agency, only to find a note.

"Dear Melody, our time to meet is near. Meet me at Dorado in Veracruz, Mexico tonight. It's time we settle this. I promise, no tricks."

-Sombra

"Well, Sombra, I accept your challenge."

Melody took a a teleporter Symmetra gave after their meeting in India, and set the coordinates to Mexico. The teleporter took her to Dorado in Veracruz, Mexico. What she found was a festival that took place. According to her HW armband, the festival took place after the Omnic crisis. She walked on the street. It was nighttime.

"Hola."

Melody turned around and sees Sombra.

"Sombra."

"This was my home many years. As you saw, there was a festival to celebrate Mexico's liberation after the Omnic crisis."

"I did. So how do you want to do this?"

"They way you do back in your world, hand to hand, the basis of all combat. You already defeated Doomfist. I for one am impressed, but I want to see if you can produce the same results."

"I have no intention of killing you, Sombra, tempting as it is. But justice will be done."

"For your family?"

"For Amelie."

The showdown began. Melody wanted revenge for her birth home's destruction. Sombra is quite efficient in martial arts, most likely Judo but I can't be certain. Melody already had Sombra figured out but was cautious not to exploit her weaknesses prematurely. Melody took Sombra down with a Judo toss and Sombra looked to answer back with a knee to the stomach and elbow shot to the spine. Sombra followed up with a armbar but Melody knew she was going for her armband and escaped.

"Hacking my armband will do you no good," said Melody.

"I already know your weakness. You were raped as a child. A victim of drugs, and warfare. You were weak."

Melody knew Sombra was right and her resolve was weakening. This gave Sombra a free roundhouse, but Melody ducked and swept.

"I turned that weakness into a strength, Olivia."

"So you have," she said as she recovered.

As the fight continued, Amelie in her Noire skin was watching from the rooftops. Sombra found an opening and sent Melody into a cabin. Sombra pulled out her machine pistol, which I think is a futuristic combination of the Ingram MAC-10 and the Heckler & Koch MP7.

"As I said, weak."

Sombra points her machine pistol and opens fire, but Melody used her retractable shield.

"So much for a fair fight," said Melody.

"Most fights are never fair, chica."

"Neither will this one."

Sombra turned around and sees Widowmaker with her newly upgraded Widow's Kiss rifle.

"Amelie..."

"You and your terrorist scum made me a mass murderer, turned me into a puppet to do your bidding. I should kill you here and now."

"Amelie, please, chica..."

Suddenly, gunshots and explosions were occuring outside. Amelie found that the Omnics have invaded Mexico. Melody saw this and witnesses Tracer, D'Va, Winston, Mercy, Torbjorn, Symmetra, Reinhardt and she found three more, a cowboy look-alike, an overweight thug, and a skinny one.

"It's happening again," said Melody.

She also found Reaper and Moira on the roof on the other side. The orange haired woman had a metal plate on her left side of her face, similar to Kano. Sombra used this distraction and slugged Melody in the face, then disappeared. She reappeared on the rooftop.

"Reaper, kill her."

But Widowmaker prevented him from doing so.

"Out of my way, traitor!"

"You'll have to kill me."

"As you wish."

Amelie and Reaper did battle on the rooftop. Melody used her armband's grappling hook to try and catch up with Sombra, but Moira appeared in front of her.

"Who the hell are you, Kano's wife?"

"I am Moira, you harlot. If you wish to finish off Sombra, you'll need to get through me."

"So be it."

Melody fought Moira. Melody was rather curious of Moira. Even at 48, Moira can still go. Rather than use weapons, she uses her hands. Her right hand fires a long range beam that drains enemies' health while restoring hers. Her left hand is used to heal her allies. Melody somersaulted as Moira blasts her beams. She fires a volt driver at Moira from her armband. She then used her grappling hook to pull her in and blast her off the roof with a powerful right hook. Melody dropped down.

"Science is your weapon, as it is mine, but mine however is more advanced."

Moira grunted, "You will pay dearly!"

"You would use science for evil," said Symmetra. 'Begone with you!" Moira disappeared.

Meanwhile, Widowmaker and Reaper had been unable to land any hits at all with their weapons. Amelie tried a frag shot from her grenade launcher, which knocked Reaper away. Reaper dropped his Hellfire shotguns. he then sees a man with a red visor holding what appears to be a heavy pulse rifle.

"It's over, Gabe," said Soldier 76.

"Jack. Is that you?"

"I'm Soldier 76 now."

"I guess we are both dead."

"For you, not dead enough for me."

Explosions were occuring 5 miles from the festival as Pharah launched her rockets, taking out as many Omnic as possible. Reinhardt swings his Rocket Hammer, Torbjorn with Rivet Gun, a cyber ninja named Genji with sword, Hanzo with his bow, D'Va with her Mech, Lucio with his Sonic Amplifier, Tracer with her Pulse pistols and Symmetra with her turrets. More Omnics appeared until Widowmaker launched a smoke round to stop them. She leaps into action with Melody at her side.

"Are you ready, Amelie? This is our last stand."

Amelie reloads her rifle. "Faisons cela!" (Let's do this)

Melody joined the group and went to town with the Omnics. Meanwhile, Sombra was escaping until she ran into three women she never thought she'd see again: Jade, Tanya and Master Raven.

"Greetings, Sombra," said Jade. "You think we have forgotten about you?"

"Kidnapping our children?" Tanya added.

"And destroying our soldier's birth home?" Raven added as well.

"Chicas..."

"SILENCE!" Jade pointed her staff, Tanya with her Kobu Jutsus and Raven with her sword. Yep, she's fucked...

"Where's my daughter?" Jade demanded.

Back on the battlefield, Melody and the newly reformed Overwatch overwhelmed the Omnic. Melody received an update saying that Talon was planning to use the Omnic to conquer the world. Not on Melody's watch. Every Omnic fell and the fighting stopped.

"I really hope that's the last of them," said Tracer.

"I'm not seeing any more," Melody said. "We have attained victory."

Everyone cheered as the crisis has ended again.

"If it weren't for you, Melody, we never could have succeeded," Pharah said.

"I can't take all the credit. Every single one of you have done your part."

"is the war over?" asked Soldier 76.

"The Omnics have been disposed of," said Torbjorn.

"We have saved the world again," Symmetra added. "But it is Melody's future that was in danger."

"Not anymore it seems." Jade, Tanya and Master Raven arrived with the detained Sombra.

"Mother! What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you in action again in secret. The future was in danger because of this woman.

"What did you girls do?"

"We gave her a taste of Edenian justice," Tanya replied.

"I joined them in hopes that you would survive, and it seems like you have," Raven added.

"These people were fighting for their future too," said Melody.

"Melody." D'Va ran up to her.

"Hana. What is it?"

"I know you're about to return to your world, but before you go, I have a gift for you, for your aid in saving our world."

D'Va presented her a Mech of her own. it is a black Homefront Warriors Mech with the same weapons as her armband.

"Remember when you said you wanted one of those?"

"I did, yes."

"Korea customized it. I was just recently there and informed the creators of you. Even though the Mech was created specifically for me, I made a exception."

"Wow. Your very own Mech," Tanya was impressed.

"It'll definitely come in handy, Hana. Thank you."

"No, thank you. You helped us save the world while saving your future."

"I've known a long time Melody was destined for greatness," said Jade.

"Melody."

"Amelie."

They hugged. "Thank you... but what will you do with Sombra?"

"We know of her hacking qualities," said Raven. "I did some research and Sombra looked as if she was mechanised. To ensure that she will pose no more of a threat, she will be removed of this mechanism and sentenced to life in a maximum security prison."

"What about Moira?"

Master Raven showed her sword. "Her science was stained with evil. I defeated her recently, and the science that made her what she was overtook her."

"She's dead?"

"Yes. To no fault of my own."

"Amelie," said Jade. "What will you do now?"

"I will live on, Jade. Melody understood my pain as I understood hers. No longer will I subject myself to injustice. I killed my husband, an affront I cannot rectify."

"Talon used you," said Melody. "The best you can do is pay your respects."

"And I must thank you, Melody, for allowing me to fight by your side, and for the baguettes."

Melody giggles. "My pleasure. Mother, it's time to return home."

"We've been watching you since your mission began. I must say, the battles you fought was not as worse as Uganda."

"I was not 100%, but this crisis had allowed me to reinvigorate myself. And to you guys of Overwatch, I say thank you for allowing me to fight for my future."

"Let us return home. your father and your siblings await us."

Melody bid her last farewell to her Overwatch allies as Jade created a portal and they stepped in to return home.

"Tracer," said Pharah. Remember when you said the world needs more heroes?"

"Yea."

"Melody is our hero of both worlds."
