Title: Against the rules
Chapter 33: Attack
/.\
Tracer's POV
The signal was orchestrated when the first rocket was released, making a whoosh as it propelled into the air.
A loud crack of an explosion followed afterwards, making it obvious it made its target. A barrage of bullets soon enveloped the atmosphere as the battle starts.
My chest tightens with excitement. The fight was starting.
Hana quickly jumps up and throws herself into the back of her mech suit, the carbon fiber body whizzing into life as it's mechanical parts twist into place, making the mech stand tall and proud.
I hear Hana's voice through the comms.
"Let's do this." she says strongly, her hands clutching onto her controls as she starts to move her mech through the shrubbery that was our hideout.
I follow, using a boost to jump up onto the back of the mech for a quick ride. Only to get smacked in the face by a branch. I swipe it out of my face quickly to be greeted with the angry rays from the sun.
In the distance I see smoke trails coming from a small blue figure with a slightly smaller white figure behind them, directing god like golden beams to their counterpart.
There was small flashes of metal on metal as bullets found their target on the blue intruder. But this didn't phase the warrior at all as she continued her barrage on the front steps of the bunker.
In the far distance, opposite to us was a small rocky cliff. A small glint off the top shows Ana is in position and ready to support.
Hana moved at a steady pace, keeping her energy usage at the most efficient so she can save the rest for the actual fight.
"You have a leaf in your hair Lena." I hear an old mothering voice say through the comms and blush as I finger through my hair.
I did in fact have a leaf in my head. A perfect joke pops into my mind and I can't help but execute it.
"Leaf me alone Ana." I say, my face cracking with a proud smile from a shitty joke only I could think up.
I hear several groans and my smile only widens. Oh I love to do this kind of comedy.
It's shitty but it makes people smile. All I want is for people to smile. Smiling is such a simple gesture but it changes everything. The mood, the tension, even people's day.
I guess we all need to smile on a day like this.
There's a large bang and I turn to look at Fareeha and Angela, they've pushed the problem and are now entering the building after taking down the door.
We're getting closer to the back door of the bunker. They should be out any second now. I crouch on the top of Hana's mech, ready to pounce on the people who leave.
I see small green bullets shoot towards the two pushers, giving them extra support for their treck inside of the building.
I hear a loud thud of metal against metal and then metal against concrete.
I turn to see Amélie jogging out of the back door, having kicked it open so hard it smacks the concrete wall behind it.
A bunch of men and women follow her, Sombra finding her way to the front with Amélie.
They both take aim at us, their eyes full of fire from the thrill of the fight. They soon spin around and aim their guns at the other people.
Bullets start to fly as I kick off the mech suit. Bodies of men and women in suits drop to the ground, Ewa starts to take care of some of the ones at the back of the group, trying to make their way to where the boss is, at the middle of the group.
He looked nothing like the average evil boss. He had scary blond hair that was long enough to reach his shoulders, it was styled back into a more informal look. His structure was small and scrawny. He was obviously the brain of the company. He wore red trousers with a black trench coat.
Before I could reach the concrete floor where the fight lay, the boss pulls out a remote from the inside of his trench coat pressing a button on it while aiming it at Sombra.
As he does so, Sombra becomes rigid. Her eyes roll back as she suddenly drops to the ground. Her body limply bouncing as she doesn't try to break her fall.
Bullets from behind me start to rapidly increase in rate, trying to shoot the person that hurt the one she loves.
Amélie's eyes move away from the target and to her best friend. Worry etches her features as she quickly drops to her knees to check up on the Hispanic girl.
A green bullet comes down and hits the caramel skinned woman, giving her healing properties.
Out of blind anger, Ewa pulls out a dagger that looks like a large red tooth. Her body coils up as she moves to strike the small man that caused damage to her teammate.
Unexpectedly, the blade gets captured by the man. He rips it out of her hand with ease throwing Ewa off guard. The hesitation long enough for the man to bury the blade deep into the woman's abdomen.
I hear the sudden gasp for air as Ewa claws at the handle of the blade. Her eyes glaring up at the man that caused this.
I yell out, kicking off the side of the concrete floor as I boost towards them, trying to free Ewa away from him so she can get medical attention.
He turns around with incredible speed and knocks me down from my speeding trail, sending me flying to the side from my previous momentum.
I look up in time to see Ewa being shoved down to the ground, her body tensing as the blade easily cuts it's way through even more tissue.
I stand back up, ready to take another swing at the man. I flick out my hands and catch my pistols in them, pointing them up at the blond.
But before I could shoot he pulls out another remote and points it at Amélie, who was checking Sombra's vital signs while Hana was holding said victim's hand.
He presses a button and Amélie goes rigid. Hana looking up, concerned with the lack of movement.
But this time, Amélie didn't drop to the ground, she just stayed perfectly still.
"Target: Lena Oxton. AKA: Tracer." the blond man says into the remote. As he does, Amélie's dead eyes look up to focus on me, yet not focus on me.
Oh fuck. My stomach rolls uncomfortably. He's controlling her.
Her hand reaches to her side as she picks up her rifle with new found strength but also stiff with command.
She stands up, leaving Sombra's body to sprawl on the floor. Her eyes are blank as she walks towards me.
Mercy comes out of the door they all exited through, looking around at the carnage. Her eyes look over the situation in shock.
"Help Ewa." I say briefly, nodding to her crippled body with green bullets buried into it.
She nods and quickly drops down next to her, looking over the wound and trying to keep Ewa awake.
With newfound vigour, Amélie raises the gun at me, pointing it directly at my chest where the glowing orb of my accelerator is.
That really is a target isn't it?
I see the man raise the remote towards Amélie and I almost see what's about to happen.
I panic as I worry for Amélie's fate.
Somehow, time slows, encapturing every detail for me to soak in.
A silver bullet shines as it explodes out of the barrel of the sniper, it's path slowly cutting through the air.
As if he was in normal speed, the blond man clicks his remote, causing the blue body in front of me to slowly lose all life in her system as she starts to crumble to the ground.
I see a purple bullet fly towards the man but I didn't care. All I cared for was the woman collapsing right in front of me. I speed forward to try and catch her, completely forgetting about the silver bullet that soon crashed into my chest piece.
I feel the pull of the anchor cut out, my partials staying still for a moment before they start to shift erratically. I didn't know I was screaming until I felt my throat raw.
My very being was tearing away from each other, demanding to be in different parts of time at the same time.
I felt my knees hit the ground and a hard metal hand clamp to my shoulder. I'll disappear soon. I can already feel it now.
"L-Look after Amélie… Please." I cry out, the pain being too much for me to bare.
Unfortunately, you can't pass out with this kind of pain, you don't really have a full body to pass out.
"Lena!" I hear several people shout before it all goes. I'm surrounded by light. Just so much light.
And so much pain.
But I can't scream to let it all out. I can't move to try to shake the pain away.
This pain is constant, persistent and so… normal.
Oh I hope Amélie will be okay.

Mercy's POV
I stare at the place Lena was just moments before.
She's… gone… again.
I snap out of it quickly, feeling blood drip down my hand.
"We need to get somewhere to help everyone." I say, pressing harder on the wound.
I hear a helicopter start up and shoot off into the air. It's logo having the Talon sign on it.
That bastard got away…
We have to deal with the people first. Heal and then revenge.
I hear quick padding of shoes as Ana runs up to me, sitting next to a slightly awake Ewa.
"T-Take us... to the secret base…" Ewa manages out to Ana her bloodied hand weakly taking her partner's.
Ana nods quickly placing a kiss on Ewa's head.
"Angela! Amélie is unresponsive!" Fareeha's panicked voice rings.
Oh god no…
What will Lena think if Amélie wasn't alive when she came back?
As if reading my mind Ana takes over at holding Ewa's wound. I nod to her and get up going to Amélie's side as quickly as possible.
Hopefully I'm not too late.
