Chapter 15: Death of Gibraltar

Overwatch Watchpoint Gibraltar

"How many Orca's do we have?!" Winston jumped down from his patio, firing lightning-like plasma from his Tesla Cannon.

"Uh, only two Winston. We'll have to take them and head somewhere else!" Red Hood fired endlessly as the Arkham Militia troops, countering with flash bands and grenade with a constant bullet barrage. "Any ideas on a new place to stay at?!"

"Uh, Ecopoint Artic?" Mei asked, firing another wall of ice at the constant barrage of bullets coming from the entrance. "But then again… That hacker may have cracked all the files on the abandoned bases…"

"Damn, your right." Alex muttered, using his grappling hook and launching up to another platform. From where he was, Red Hood could see the Talon Destroyer firing missiles and cannon shots at the base and Redstream, which was rushing from left to right with corkscrews and loops. "Lena, change of plans: we're evacuating Gibraltar. Rendezvous at my location and we'll-"

A sudden boom came from the center of Gibraltar's machinery burrowed in the ground, the live reactors and main CPU bases imploding in fire. "Damn, there goes the CPU farm!" 76 yelled, firing Helix mini missiles and round after round from his rifle. "We need to leave, NOW!"

"We can't! We need to upload Athena to the Orca's systems and finish-!" another boom shook the roof above Winston and Mei. Both looked to another with worry, sooner or later the base would be gone: it was either then or now, and leaving a whole system full of Overwatch agent locations wasn't exactly in the guild lines for escaping. Plus, they had Doomfist's Gauntlet, so a major retaliation wasn't going to end well. Winston sighed, pondered just how it got this bad before typing fastly once more; there was only one thing left to do. "I'm… I'm erasing all system files on agents before and after the Recall… Athena, finish uploading your system to the Orca… And prime the remaining reactors to overload."

"U-UnNndD-Derstood-" the AI managed out, a system message coming up on the computer screen: 'SELF DESTRUCT ENGAGED. 00:01:00:00.' "Alright, we have one hour to get as far away as possible. Let's go!" Winston shouted, jumping up to his lab and taking what he needed to repair his Tesla Cannon before following Mei.

Back outside, the Redstream rushed towards Red Hood, halting hastily as its copilot rushed to it. "Get to the hangar bay! We need to protect the Orca's from getting shot down!" Red exclaimed, making the time traveling pilot jumped the gun by forcing the Redstream forward.

"Winston, get one of the Orca's spinning online!" 76 yelled out, rushing towards the hallway the led to the hangar bay. Behind him, several Arkham Militia Brutes and Troops followed firing bullets and tossing grenades. "Damn, they don't led up!"

Aboard the Talon Destroyer

"Reaper, have the Destroyer brought around the other section of Gibraltar." The Knight stated on the comms, walking towards his gun helicopter. He quickly climbed in, his helicopter lifting off as the Destroyer ripped down the Gibraltar communication tower. "I'm going ahead to deal with Terrell and Oxton."

"Understood." Reaper hated this, taking orders from some child in cosplay. Compared to Todd, this Arkham Knight was a bit more… on the insane side. But, he paid well and kept promises. And that alone kept Reaper from ripping off that stupid mask of his and forcing a grenade down the Knight's throat. "Crane, what is the status of the Svyatogor?"

Meanwhile, Militia stronghold

"Nearing completion, all that remains is the neural connection test with the pilot." Crane stated, watching with Widowmaker from his observation platform at the testing area. In the room below was the Svyatogor mech, with a common civilian strapped down to the command chair in its head. One the civilians head was a mask designed like the Arkham Knight's only white with several add on parts connected to it.

The mask beeped, and the man heard a voice from his mask. "Raise your arm, and flex your hands." Crane ordered, walking intensely as the man lifted his hand. On one of the other camera screens, the Svyatogor raised its arm and worked its fingers. As the mech and man moved simultaneously, a black puff of smoke came from the mask, along with blood from the neck.

The man screamed in pain as blood came down, before he gave one more bloodcurdling screech before he collapsed onto the ground. "Damn," Crane growled in annoyance, before activating the speakers. "Get that stupid mask off, we'll use the normal piloting systems."

"Understood." Several Militia medics rushed into the room, taking the corpse and removing the mask.

Watchpoint Gibraltar

Redstream fired rains of bullets onto the Talon Destroyer and Militia helicopters. Meanwhile on the ground, 76 and Winston helped cover the other Overwatch agents entering the Orca. "Get us in the air, NOW!" 76 yelled out, firing Helix rockets at Militia Brutes. As they did, Genji rushed onto the controls, pulling the Orca into the sky.

"You idiots make yourselves bigger targets," the Knight's helicopter soared into the air, speaker blaring into the slowly dying sunset. "Shoot them down, I'll hang their heads up for display!"

The Knight's helicopter fired rounds at the Orca, impaling one of the engine cells. "We're hit!" Genji yelled, struggling to hold the controls. The Orca tilted and groaned as it dipped forward. "We have to retreat, the base is lost!"

"Then get to the mainland," Red Hood ordered, having Lena switch the jet into flight-mode. "We'll meet you at-!" Red Hood was cut off as the Talon Destroyer fired a large bullet as the jet. The time-traveling jet's side engine exploded before it spiraled out of control. "SHIT!"

"We're hit!" Lena exclaimed, and just like before the Teleportation Matrix sparked again. "Oh, no not again!"

"Damn, not now!" The Talon Destroyer continued its bombardment onto the Redstream, finally taking a wing and its main engine. The Redstream's engines flared with fire and spiraled away from Gibraltar and back into Spain.

"Redstream, we're losing your signal…" Winston called out on the comms of the Orca, watching the Redstream's signal vanish into Spain's airspace. "Redstream, do you copy?!"

"Winston, look out!" The computers of the Orca exploded, sending Winston to the floor and shaking the dropship. More explosions followed, before a larger, more powerful one came from the Watchpoint. The energy wave sent the Knight's helicopter and the Orca out of control.

Genji struggled to hold the dropship up, but he was sent flying out of his seat and into unconsciousness. The Orca spiralled in the sky, before crashing with ear deafening boom...

Watchpoint Gibraltar, 1 day after attack

The sky hung dark, grey clouds formed by all the smoke left behind from Gibraltar's explosion. The only sounds visible were the whirls of helicopter and movement of feet.

Arkham Militia and Talon troops worked their way around the clock, removing broken down machinery and concrete. The Talon Destroyer sat beside the ruined base, with helicopters moving parts from the old Watchpoint onto the ship.

"So, we've mostly completed moving all Overwatch technology, and we've only gotten many names from the Recall system, all names accounted and confirmed from the file we had Sombra steal from the UN's memory banks." An Arkham technician explained to the Knight and Reaper. Widowmaker and Crane still weren't among them, still at the Knight's command base to report on the Svyatogor finalizations. "All things aside, sir we should be prepared by the time we return to New Gotham."

"Good," the Knight replied, checking the wreckage of the Gibraltar tech. "Now, all we're waiting for is-"

"Commander, Akande Ogundimu has arrived." A Talon operative stated on the comms.

"For our guests to arrive." Outside, a helicopter with the Talon logo landed onto the ship's helipad. Its passenger exited the helicopter, revealing a tall shirtless Nigerian male with a with a hand cannon on his left hand, and Nigerian styled clothing with golden metal plating across his arms and legs.

The Knight exited the bridge with Reaper, the Doomfist Gauntlet in his hands. "Welcome, Mr. Ogundimu. We've been expecting you." The Knight greeted, putting forward the Gauntlet. "I believe this is yours."

Mr. Ogundimu, or rather Doomfist, nodded and took up the Gauntlet. "Thank you." Doomfist responded, stating it in a more serious tone then the Knight's. "Now, why are still here at Gibraltar?"

"Simple really," The Knight explained, motioning for the pair to follow back to the bridge. "During our assault in Spain, we discovered a hidden black file encoded in the UN's top military branch. Apparently, during the Null Sector's uprising the remnants of Omnic battle drones were taken here to Gibraltar and transferred to another station."

"Null Sector?" Reaper twitched under his mask, he hated being reminded of the past. Especially the Null Sector incident. "The Omnic terrorist group?"

"Yes, and my men were able to discover during our earlier attack a rather large containment facility hidden deep in the Mariana Trench," The Knight explained as they arrived at the bridge, walking towards the center table. He pressed a button, and the hologram of several Omnic mech's and a rather large one sat in the center. "We also discovered the whereabouts of several Ironclad Guild Titans and prototypes here, several kilometers underground."

"So, first you make a chemical weapon, now your gathering Null Sector mech's and Ironclad Titans for more firepower." Doomfist stated calmly, raising an eyebrow to the mask figure. "Just what are you proposing?"

"Simple," The Knight continued. "The UN Has established that Omnic's have turned to peace since the end of the Omnic Uprising. However, my secondary plan is to reactivate the Null Sector and Ironclad Titan's under Militia command, and create the front that Omnic's have returned to violence."

"Once that happens, the US and other superpowers will be forced to aid this situation, leading to weaker military coverage on certain key areas." The Knight swiped the hologram to the side, replacing it with a map reading the US's eastern seaboard. "New Gotham, home of the world's most demonic entities and home of New Ace Chemicals: the crown jewel of the Black Plague. Crane proposes that we launch a full scale assault on Gotham, using the city as the testing ground of Svyatogor."

"I see," Doomfist examined the plan. There were many problems he saw through it, one being Overwatch that stood out of the mash of problems. There was a major chance the rebellious group had survived, and it would spell disaster for them. The other was the Null Sector, no one even to this day was able to understand the God Program or its programmer. There was no doubt that the same programmer would strike again, and with terrifying results. Nevertheless, this was the Knight's plan. "And should this plan, per say, fail to any… unnecessary intrusions?"

"Then the Militia's God Program will initiate fully, ordering the complete genocide of the UN and any other powers in our way!" The Knight exclaimed, turning to the Gibraltar remnants. "Yes, this is the year of Death… and from its ashes a new world shall become whole. A world ruled be death, corruption and pure chaos. Now, let's get this show on the road!"

A/N: I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT! Oh my god, I apologize dearly as much as I can for the past 2 months. I thought being a sophomore would be easy. It's not, I absolutely hate it right now. Especially because I haven't blown anything up in Chemistry!

But, anyways away from that little rant, I do apologize for the long wait, I've been doing my best to work on this story and many other things. I actually have been looking to watching an anime called Evangelion, but alas no luck with that. Hulu, how could you betray me….?

Okay I'm getting seriously sidetracked here, the point is I'm sorry for the long wait, I'll try to work my way through this month and hopefully finish the next chapter by the 24th, hopefully…

Also, my Destiny story will not be uploaded yet, I'm pushing that back for next year to focus on Let's Pick A Fight and school.

That said, this is the KnightOfZ3R0 signing off!
