Spells and Louds
Chapter 156: We are Overwatch! Part 1
You have all been waiting, you have all been patient and now it is time!
…
Everything is blurry.
…
Everything is muffled.
…
Everything is a bit bright.
…
Soon everything becomes clear again, Lincoln looks around.
He drags his hurt body and takes cover behind a fallen radio tower.
He turns to his left and sees a cybernetic ninja teaming up with Jack Cyber and Tadashi, all three of them are deflecting enemy shots.
A large armored man with a slightly armored teen and both of them are combining their shields together to form one bigger shield to protect a bearded man who is deploying turrets.
Leon's Tiger Tank has been knocked over and Leon is taking cover behind it with a big wound to his chest. Dana is also taking cover next to him and engaging the enemy.
A large Pink Mech suit, Linka, Timmy and Jordan are also taking cover into the shield generator of a gorilla who has just gone apex and is tossing enemy robots away.
Lincoln turns to his right to see Gwen and Sunset taking cover behind a fallen armored transport along with Sombra. They were taking sniper fire.
Sergei knocking away multiple enemy soldiers with his hammer and his hellhound girlfriend is there as well tearing apart robots.
Bastion is also in the fight as his turret mode and with him was McCree and a large man with a pig-looking mask and some psycho with a frag launcher.
Victor is badly wounded and is being healed by a woman with angelic wings.
A young Asian girl is freezing enemies and by her side was Ember, Becky and Lori.
Leni is creating as many healing spores and plant troops to reinforce.
Lincoln then peeks out of cover to see his dad and Peter engaging a large African man with a giant mechanical right fist.
Neil is then knocked into a wall, but he comes out and does a primal zerg roar and goes back into the fight.
He also sees a British girl in a yellow suit blinking through enemies and with her flying at great speed was Penny.
A man wearing almost the same outfit as he does is using his heavy pulse rifle against a man in a shadowy trench coat and skull mask with dual hellfire shotguns.
A woman who looks similar to Linka's outfit is on top of a ledge and is sniping and healing the team and with her is Pyrrha also providing some sniper support with her sniper rifle javelin spear.
A Brazilian man with hover skates blasts away a woman with light and dark powers.
A woman with some cybernetic parts is fighting a levitating man with hovering rocks.
Jack Cyber transforms into a Cyclone assault vehicle and provides rocket support.
An aircraft is flies over them being chased by enemy aircraft, the pilot is a white robot with a holographic face.
Martin is in his new tech suit and is also shooting down aerial hostiles.
A massive battle was also happening away from them, the brotherhood of Nod and FutureTech are engaging a few giant robots and their armies and Gyro is leading the warzone.
Lincoln then notices that standing next to him shooting enemies with electricity is Sam.
Then Lincoln is turned around by his sister Luna, who looks worried. "Lincoln! Are you okay bro?"
Lincoln then gets dizzy. "I … don't feel good … Luna."
Luna gasps and sees a wound on Lincoln's left side almost near his chest and some blood seeping.
Luna grabs a cloth and puts pressure on it. "Stay with me bro! We need some help over here! Mercy! Becky!"
Sam then takes cover just as a missile flies past them. "We have to get Lincoln to safety!"
Lincoln gets sleepy. 'H-How did this all g-go so wrong?' he asks in his thoughts.
(72 hours ago, FutureTech HQ)
All of the Royal Defenders report to FutureTech to meet up with Martin.
They step into the warehouse and see nothing.
"Okay, is this a prank?" asked Leon.
"I don't think so. Martin isn't the prank master type" replied Neil.
"Where the heck is he?" asked Jordan.
"Better yet, where the heck is everybody?" asked Sunset.
"This place feels more like a ghost town" said Sam.
Lincoln notices a communicator on the table and turns it on. They then see a hologram of Martin.
"Looks like a recorded message" said Linka.
"Hello everyone, if you are hearing this, then you must've made it too late. I have traveled all the way to the Battlecruiser Aegis, Commanders Lincoln and Linka forgive me but it was urgent. If you wish to know more please head to the Battlecruiser Aegis and prepare yourselves heroes. The battle is upon us."
The transmission ends.
"Well, that's just great" said Peter.
"At least nothing stupid happened" said Lori.
The device starts to beep. "This device will self-destruct in twenty seconds."
Lori's eye twitches. "I stand corrected."
Lincoln grabs the device and throws it out the window, but what he doesn't know it lands in the parking lot and destroys martin's car. Dang it!
"Okay guys, we're headed to the Aegis" said Lincoln.
They all head outside and meet up with a medivac Dropship. They all board it and head into space.
(Somewhere on Mars Atmosphere)
The medivac makes it to the Aegis and into the hangar.
They immediately come out of the Dropship and see all the soldiers are getting ready to equip some weapons.
But what was odd was that some of these troops weren't Dominion, they were FutureTech and Nod.
Lincoln then sees Martin. "There he is guys." They all approach him.
"Okay McKenzie, what the hell was so important?" asked Neil.
Martin then steps aside and he shows them who he was talking to. "Hello amigos" said Sombra.
Lincoln and the others gasp. "No freaking way!" said Timmy.
"Yes freaking way pink hat" said Sombra.
They all get ready their weapons and powers. "What is she doing here Martin?!" asked Linka.
Martin then activates his newly built tech suit. "Everyone stand down now!"
The tech suit is also in similarities with Iron man, only difference this one is light blue, dark blue and white. It has an eagle logo in the middle where the triangular arc reactor is. It has small jet like wings on the back. The mask is not two eye holes, they are instead one single vision vizier glowing light blue.
"Give us a reason why we shouldn't destroy this Talon agent right now!" yelled Lincoln.
Sombra then shows them a hologram of her world and the current Omnic crisis. "Because Talon is taking things too far. Overwatch may need some assistance."
They all lower their weapons and calm their powers down.
"Okay, you got our attention. Now talk!" said Jordan.
Sombra smirks. "Calm down amiga, I'm not a threat here. I've been contacting FutureTech big boss here since November."
They all look at Martin sternly.
"Sorry guys, but it's true. I've been keeping tabs on their world and Sombra is our intel agent" replied Martin.
"I'm gonna guess you had so many doubts when she sent you information" said Sergei.
Martin sighs. "Yeah, I did. She even wants to provide us with some information on who is Soldier 76 and Reaper."
"You mean the vigilante and the Talon undertaker?" asked Timmy.
Sombra snickers. "Yeah, the "Talon Undertaker" he is so dark and brooding, the guy needs a hobby."
"So, how the hell did she get here?" They all turn around to see Gyro and Pyrrha have arrived.
"That's something I wanna talk to you about Guardian" said Martin.
Gyro was confused. "What are you talking about?"
Victor then shows them an image of what Sombra sent them. "This is a Great Gate. In the middle of Antarctica. From her world."
They all look at Gyro. "What? I didn't put that there!"
"Well, somehow this Great Gate was built on the foundations of ice and desolation" said
Jack Cyber.
"I was hacking into one of Martin's Burst Drones and I tracked down the same energy source in the Antarctica and soon found the Great Gate. I then hacked it and went through" said Sombra.
"A Great Gate can be hacked?" said Gwen.
"That's new" said Dana.
They all looked at Gyro.
Even Pyrrha was confused by this.
"I didn't know the Great Gate can be hacked that way" said Gyro.
"It can, but not by simple low-life hackers. Only expert hackers who have their own devices and electronics within them. Like me" said Sombra with a smile.
"Okay, so whats the situation Sombra?" asked Lincoln.
They all make it to the bridge and onto the strategic map.
Sombra then show them her earth.
"The Omnic crisis is still going on. Russia was already dealing with the threat and their so called defender of Russia got her technology from the enemy, I used the information as black mail."
They all were not amused with what Sombra just said.
"Sombra, just continue with the report" said Gyro in annoyance.
"Now the Omnics are striking other parts of the world. Toronto, Busan, Ilios, Rio de Janeiro, Route 66 and more. The recent assault was on Paris, luckily the newly recalled Overwatch arrived and stopped them. The recalled members are Winston, Tracer, Reinhardt, Echo, Mercy, Genji and new member from the Antarctic division Mei. They united and told nearby officers that Overwatch is back."
"But, I thought overwatch was outlawed" said Sunset.
"It still is, and I think the rest of the world will either be very upset or motivated by their new hope against terrorism. Also you're cowboy friend McCree is not planning to get back to the team yet" replied Sombra.
Linka gasps. "But I thought he was planning to go back."
"He is, but not yet. He's trying to get some new recruits from a few renegades who are causing trouble" said Sombra.
"Well that's just mighty nice of him" said Peter.
They all look to Lincoln. "Overwatch needs some support, they can't go out there and save the world if most of the world will look at them as criminals and vigilantes, they need our backup."
"Exactly kid" said Sombra.
They all look to each other, feeling as if they are truly ready to aid a world with heroes like them.
They all look back to Lincoln and Linka.
"This might not be an Avengers thing, but heck it's gonna be awesome" said Linka.
"Captain, Get us ready to jump! They're going to need more heroes!" said Lincoln.
The Aegis battlecruiser gets all its personnel ready for jump to interdimensional hyperspace.
Lincoln and Linka are back at the bridge with Jordan.
Neil, Leon and Sergei check on the Tiger Tank.
Gwen checks for every arrow she has available.
Dana, Becky, Lori and Peter make some calls.
The others are just being patient.
Though Sunset goes to Sombra who is looking out into space. "Why are you doing this Sombra? Why are you helping us?"
Sombra snickers. "To make some friends, I still have to know who has been watching me. And with the tech and cool things you all have it could work. Like I told martin, I'm not interested in Talon. I was just checking their profiles if they had any connections with the people who were watching me."
Sunset sighs. "All of this, just to find out who was spying on you. I can't blame you for doing this whole plan. But you could at least do it to save the world. You could be a valid member to Overwatch, you can be a hero."
Sombra smirks. "That does sound nice, I'll think about it. Right now, we should all get ready."
Soon they all hear an alarm and an announcement from Linka. "All stations, all stations. Prepare for jump into Dimensional Hyperspace in 3 ….. 2 ….. 1 ….. Now!"
The Aegis then leaves their universe and into a portal to another.
(Overwatch Dimension, near the moon)
A space probe is orbiting the moon, checking for any signs of what was left of the old moonbase.
But it gets destroyed by the Aegis Battlecruiser that just arrived. Also that probe had an Overwatch logo.
"We hit something" said Jordan.
"Probably just debris" replied Lincoln.
Everyone looks out the window and sees the base on the moon.
"That's where Winston came from" said Leon.
"The place where he lost his first family, to his own kind" said Sergei.
"And thank goodness he made an escape to earth" said Peter.
"But he wasn't alone" said Sombra.
They all look at her confused. "What?"
"A hamster attached a pod onto his escape pod, crash landed into Australia and was treated like a king" said Sombra.
They were dumbfounded by what she just said.
"A hamster?" asked Luna.
"A genius hamster, he goes by the name Wrecking ball" said Sombra. "He pilots a giant hamster ball that has some kind of voice modulator, he is violent and ruthless"."
They all remained silent. "That must be one smart hamster" said Jack Cyber.
"He must've landed in Junkertown" said Penny.
They then pick up a message. "Incoming transmission!" said Tadashi.
They see on the screens it was Winston and they all realized what it was.
"This was the message he sent to all the agents" said Becky.
"Someone raise the volume on that thing" said Victor.
A Protoss Phasesmith does this and all of the Battlecruiser hears it.
Thirty years ago, the Omnics declared war! The Nations of the world had no answer, until they called upon a group of small heroes.
They saw on the screen was images of the Omnic Crisis
Overwatch was created to rescue humanity from the Omnic Crisis. We became the greatest champions of peace and progress mankind has ever seen!
Overwatch battling Omnics and being rewarded for bringing peace.
You were chosen because you had powers and abilities that made you ….. You joined because you …..
Winston sighs with sadness.
You already know this. Look, people decided they were better off without us. They even called us criminals! They tore our family apart.
Hearing this made Luna and Leni hug Lincoln.
Winston then shows them what has been happening to their world after Overwatch was banned.
But look around! Someone has to do something! We have to do something! We can make a difference again. The World needs us now, more than ever.
Winston removes his glasses and smiles.
Are you with me?
End Transmission.
They all felt touched and inspired by this message.
"Well, looks like we have some work to do" said Lincoln.
They all get back to their stations and prepare.
"First we have to secure the Great Gate. Make sure no one else knows of its existence" said Gyro.
"We can deploy Kane's Nod forces and some of the RA3 Tech that Martin and Victor built" said Penny.
"Then get to it" said Lincoln.
"We have to also start setting up communications and outposts, we gotta make sure their ell defended from both Talon and Null Sector" said Sergei.
"That we can do, place them on key points of enemy attack. Including the one where is outposted" said Leon.
"I'm sure she'll appreciate the support" said Sombra.
"Then start putting up the outposts" said Linka.
"I made the call to some government allies we have including the immortal council. They said we have to begin negotiations with the world leaders" said Victor.
"Through that we can help support overwatch and show them what we have been doing to save not just our world but the whole freaking multiverse" said Sam.
"Then get to the UN, but first arrange a press conference" said Lincoln.
"The next step is to track down any remaining overwatch agents or maybe some vigilantes that have been doing good across the world. They need protection" said Neil.
"I have that one covered" said Sombra.
"Sounds like we all have this done, let's move out people" said Linka.
But then Sombra stops. "So no one wants to know who is Soldier 76 or Reaper?"
They all looked at her in annoyance. "No."
Sombra smirks. "Okay then."
But Martin was curious. "Sombra, where is Overwatch located now? We all know they're first base was destroyed in Switzerland."
Sombra then show them an image. "Gibraltar: Watchpoint."
They all get into transports and deploy to earth. The Aegis Battlecruiser also catches up and stays above earth's atmosphere.
Soon Hollow's Super Star Destroyer makes it into Orbit, alongside the Dominion fleet and the Protoss ships.
(Cairo Egypt)
Akande Ogundimu (Doomfist) is enjoying the sights of the city. Wearing his white suit and has his gauntlet attached. But then he gets confronted by Moira O'Deorain.
"What is it?" asked Doomfist.
Moira sighs. "It appears we may have a new problem, besides the recall of overwatch."
Doomfist turns around. "And that is?"
Moira deploys a hologram of images of different outposts across the world. "It appears a newly formed government agency is deployed. They seem to be heavily fortified and they're technology is nothing anyone has ever seen. They even have a massive ship in orbit."
Doomfist gets a bit irritated. "This is a problem. Does the world know yet?"
Moira then turns off the hologram. "Not yet, but they are planning on a press conference to the United Nations soon, it will be in Switzerland."
"Then we must begin our move. Deploy Null Sector to one of their outposts and test their defenses and tell Sombra to be ready to get into their systems" said Doomfist.
But then Widowmaker and Reaper appear. "That could be a problem sir."
Widowmaker then show them an image of Sombra on one of the outposts and helping these new heroes.
Seeing this angers Doomfist and he slams his mechanical gauntlet onto the balcony. The others are not moved by this.
Doomfist smirks. "So, we have a traitor in our midst. She will pay for her betrayal."
"I knew she was not to be trusted" said Widowmaker.
"And to think I trusted her as our best agent" said Reaper.
"She played us all, but for what?" said Moira.
Doomfist then looks to his powered up Gauntlet. "I have no idea, neither do I care for her true purpose for joining us. What matters is that we put an end to this new faction and Overwatch and secure this world for our own. Now go and show them that Talon has its sight sharp on them!"
(Meanwhile in Gibraltar: Watchpoint somewhere in the Mediterranean)
All the agents of Overwatch are talking amongst themselves and with some new members who have joined in. Sojourn and Lúcio Correia dos Santos.
Reinhardt Willhelm is currently not there, same with Brigitte Lindholm, they both went to look for someone who might return to the team, Torbjörn Lindholm.
Tracer and Mei are both coming up with new ways to combine any of their teammate's abilities.
Genji is meditating on the top of the Watchpoint.
Sojourn and Echo are both checking the main screen for any signs of trouble.
Angela Ziegler (Mercy) is showing Lúcio some of her healing tactics that could be useful for him when they have injured in the next fight.
Winston comes into the room and sees all of his teammate's already interacting and doing their best to protect and save the world.
Then they get an incoming message.
"Winston, we have something or someone on the screen" said Sojourn.
Winston comes down via his tire swing and lands next to Sojourn and Echo. "Whoever it is knows where we are."
The screen then shows a skull symbol in violet and they hear a voice. "Hello Overwatch. Yeah, that's right. I know who you all are, but you don't know me. Also Winston, so sorry for almost hacking you're systems when Reaper was there. I needed to pretend to be a part of Talon at that time."
Winston growls. "So, you were the one who was trying to get into our systems and damage Athena!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Easy there Banana man. I am no longer in partnership with Talon, I'm with a new faction now. The ones you may have heard about, the ones who are planning on a huge UN press conference for the recall of Overwatch."
They all gasp. "What?" said Tracer.
"Oops! Spoiled the surprise! But yes, the faction is called the Immortal council. You can say that they are not from this world, they are friends of mine from another earth. They wish to help bring Overwatch back to the good side of the people and Omnics and help you all put an end to this Crisis. They saw you're message Winston and they were very moved by it."
They all look at Winston and smile. "Looks like your message went beyond space and time Winston" said Tracer.
"Well, I didn't really expect for others to see it" said Winston.
"Well it did. If you want to meet the new faction and its team, meet them at one of their outposts in Busan china, we'll be waiting. See you all soon. Adios."
End transmission.
They all look towards Winston.
"Well Winston. What do we do?" asked Mei.
Winston looks to the picture of the old team. "What the others would want us to do. We can't turn down this opportunity, we can be able to rebuild what we almost lost."
"Now that sounds like a good leader at his works" said Mercy.
"Morrison would be proud of you" said Genji.
Winston smiles. "Contact Reinhardt and Brigitte, tell them to meet us at Busan China. We have some heroes to meet."
To be continued …..
Welcome to Overwatch! Well not yet, but they will encounter them in the next chapter and they will go face-to-face with Talon and Null Sector.
Leave a Review and tell me what you all think.
