Love & War 6: Replicants
Chapter 15: I'm Coming For You
"Everything can be hacked... and everyone."
"One of the most notorious hackers, Sombra, (Spanish for" Shadow") uses information to manipulate those in power. Long before she took the moniker, "Sombra", Olivia Colomar was among the thousands of children who were left orphaned in the aftermath of the Omnic Crisis. With much of Mexico's infrastructure destroyed, she survived by utilizing her natural skills of hacking and computers. After she was taken in by Mexico's Los Muertos gang, she aided it in it's self-styled revolution against the government. They believed that rebuilding Mexico would only benefit the richest and influential instead of those in need of assistance. After many of her conquests, she became extremely confident in her abilities, but she was one day caught in a web of a global conspiracy, one that forced her to erase her identity and went into hiding. Reemerging as Sombra, she was determined to uncover the truth of the conspiracy and launched a series of hacks and her exploits earned her no shortage of admirers, including Talon. She joined Talon and contributed to its massive cyberattacks against corporations with strong ties to their governments. Their efforts invited a popular revolution in Mexico against LumétlCo and breached security of Volksksya Industries, the manufacturing arm of Russia's anti-omnic defense."
Meanwhile, inside a screen room, a young purple-haired female with her left side shaved had eventually discovered Widowmaker's location.
"Homefront Warriors?"
Sombra looked into the Homefront Warriors' records. It was led by Melody Jones.
"Interesting."
She then looked into Melody's records. Sombra was indeed intrigued. She even noticed her armband.
"So, Melody. Earth's most powerful soldier."
A individual looking like death approached her.
"Reaper, Widowmaker has traveled 60 years into the past and has merged an alliance with this woman." She shows him Melody's mug shot.
"Where can we find her?" Reaper asked.
"She's not from this world. A dimensional rift opened by Tracer, if I can hack into Melody's armband, I can open the rift and I will find this Melody, and use her to get to Widowmaker."
"There are other corporations, the Mishima Zaibatsu, Ultratech and Shadaloo that want her powers."
"I'm concerned. All three companies are in a bidding war to claim Melody. I have an idea..."
Sombra researched all three companies and began hacking into their security protocols.
At the Mishima Zaibatsu, Heihachi saw Sombra's face.
"Greetings, Mr. Mishima. I am Sombra of Talon. You are currently targeting a young female soldier to claim her powers. You, Ultratech and Shadaloo are in for a downfall! Your security protocols are now obsolete!"
"You insolent fool!" Heihachi was pissed.
"What madness is this?" ARIA was flabbergasted.
"A hacker?," M. Bison was furious.
"Bottom line, your obsession with the soldier ends now! Melody Jones is no prize to collect. Call off this godforsaken tournament!"
"Never," all three said in unison.
"Suit yourselves. Everything you built will fall! Talon will rise again! And all three of you will fall at our feet, unless you remove Miss Jones from your so-called crusade. You started this war against her, and now you have a war with us! And Miss Jones, if you're watching this, these infidels are no longer your problems. I only have one request: Deliver Amelie LaCroix aka Widowmaker to me. In doing so, you will be greatly compensated and be granted a position with us. Failure to do so, and I'm coming for you. You and I will meet. I cannot wait to see who Melody Jones really is, and test her powers. I do not need your powers, I only need Widowmaker. She betrayed us! She botched her operation. If you assist me, I will assist you, but if you do not cooperate, not only will I finish Ultratech, Mishima Zaibatsu and Shadaloo, but you as well! Adios!"
In a hideout somewhere far from Talon's hideout, there other women were listening in.
"Sombra just started a war in another world," said D'Va.
"And Melody was caught in the middle," said Pharah.
"We need to infiltrate talon and get access to this portal. Melody needs help.'
Symmetra agreed, "I can stop security easily while you two search for access."
D'Va looked at Melody's mug shot. "Hang on, Melody. Backup's on the way."
