Reinhardt stood in front of the group of Overwatch members and civilians using his shield to protect them from the incoming fire from the Nullsec drones, but he could tell the strength of the shield was failing. Pharah flew overhead from roof to roof, launching rounds into the seemingly endless masses while Mercy treated the injured as they got hurt. Winston had set up his shield behind the group, but it too was taking shots from the drones as they had been cut off and trapped on both sides. Dva, McCree, Lucio, and Tracer stood between the shields firing at either group that was closer while Brigitte flung the head of her flail through the shields to slow them down.

Hope seemed lost to the group as the drones closed in... until they heard a cacophony from the sky and the omnic forces exploded into pieces all around them. Seconds later they could see an old Overwatch transport decloak from stealth as it's pilot called out over their radios.

...

"Fucking hell that's a lot of omnic drones..." John said as he flew closer to Syracuse.

"It looks like they are being dropped from those ships up there." Amélie said as she pointed to the large transports above them which periodically dropped large objects onto the city below.

"Sure looks like it." he agreed. "First things first, we gotta figure out where Overwatch is and if they need help." he said as he started tapping commands into the screen to his right. "There they are. Completely surrounded. Guess we should help them out." he said smiling as he set the transport into a dive and readied the minigun to fire. He lined his vessel up with the road and fired two short bursts from the gun and watched as the drones on either side of his allies were obliterated before he pulled up before he would hit the buildings. He tapped into their coms and said "Callsign Demon, on station" into his headset with a smile. He could hear Reinhardt laughing before he finished as Angela's voice came over the radio.

"John! Thank god you arrived when you did!" she cheered.

"You definitely bought us some breathing room." Winston said gratefully.

"I'm gonna make a couple more passes then drop Ams off with you so she can help out." John said before looking at Amélie. "Stick to the roofs, the railings, or behind Reinhardt's shield. I DON'T want to hear you got hurt." he said sternly before looking back at the controls.

"I understand. I'll do my best to stay safe." she said as the shuttle dived again before the humming of the minigun sounded again.

...

John set the shuttle down in a large park as Overwatch gathered nearby. He opened the rear hatch, took off his helmet, and walked with Amélie out to meet the group. "Remember, nothing risky. I don't want you getting hurt." he said to her as Winston walked up to him.

"Are you going to stay and fight?" he asked the Sniper.

"I'm going to take out one or both of those massive airships so they quit dropping reinforcements on you." he said as he looked at the group of civilians. "Where's your shuttle?" he asked the ape.

"Echo is using it to evacuate civilians to neighboring cities." he explained, to which John nodded in acknowledgement as Angela walked up to him. "She should be back shortly to receive this group."

"That's good." John replied.

"Amélie you stay close to me or Reinhardt if you can. If you can't, stick with the civilians so they have someone keeping them calm." the gorilla said as he led her to join the group.

"You be careful, alright." Angela said as she pulled John into a hug that he accepted gratefully.

"I promise I won't die. Good enough?" he teased with a smile.

"Be as safe as you can." she groaned as she let him go and stepped back from the shuttle as he walked back to the controls.

He closed the rear hatch and lifted off the ground before opening the throttle and surging into the sky as the cloak hid him from sight. He keyed in the ship's stereo and set it to play some old music as his smile grew wider.

"Now lets see how to crater you..." he said as he got closer to the massive ships. "Six primary thrusters keeping them up... If I drop two on one side they should start flipping over." he mumbled as he powered up the railguns. "Lotta point defense weapons on that hull... gonna have to stay cloaked as much as possible." he said as he flew closer to one of the command ships. "Here we go..."

The shuttle's railguns extended from their hidden compartments underneath the hull and fired off a pair of potato sized iron jacketed tungsten rounds through the farthest back thruster assembly on the starboard side of the massive ship. The assembly exploded violently, visible to the city below. John quickly moved to the next primary thruster on that side and fired again. Another large explosion rocked the shuttle as he watched the ship start tipping dangerously as he tried to fly out of it's range.

He watched from his cloaked ship as the massive vessel slowly flipped in a death roll as it eventually crashed offshore upside-down. He heard the cheers from over the coms and with a smile he set out for the next one. This one seemed to already have it's point defense weaponry firing in all directions anticipating his attack, so he flew as far above it as he deemed safe from it's weapons before turning into a dive and firing again at one of the thruster assemblies on it's starboard side, noting that it too would land in or near the ocean.

An explosion rocked the ship as he began aiming for the next thruster before he could hear the pinging of rounds hitting his shuttle. He would normally ignore this, but the cloaking system failed when the shuttle took damage from a larger round that rocked the transport. With the cloak offline, all the ship's guns began aiming at him as they finally had a target. He fired the next round into the next engine as his shuttle warned of incoming fire before he attempted to veer off course to gain some distance from the large ship.

It didn't help as alarms blared in the cockpit from damage to the rear of the shuttle, which he definitely felt, causing the rear thrusters to go offline. He forced the nose of the shuttle down as best as he could as he aimed for the park he was at earlier.

...

Angela, Amélie, and the others watched as the second of the large ships began falling out of the sky towards the ocean, but they watched in horror as a large explosion was seen from the rear end of the familiar shuttle.

"No..." Angela whispered as she watched, seemingly frozen, as the shuttle zoomed overhead toward the park before a loud thud and debris could be seen even from this distance. "Winston!" she shouted at the ape.

"Brigitte, Tracer, go with Angela to help John!" he yelled as he fired a bolt of electricity at an omnic through Reinhardt's shield.

The Overwatch trio rushed through the streets back towards the park with Tracer destroying any remaining Omnic drones on the way. After a few minutes they could see the park as well as a trail dug through the dirt by a shuttle that was unable to slow it's decent.

"Please be alive..." Angela whispered to herself as she led the group up the trail of destruction.

Before long they saw the remainder of the shuttle in its crater. The rear section was mostly missing, though it looked as if the foreword section was fine, despite the impact. Inside they could see the Sniper working on something under the panels that made up the interior floor. She could see his helmet was off and that crimson glow was coming from his eyes again.

"John..." Angela got out before the sound of an electrical arc sounded out and the interior of the shuttle lit back up.

"And we're hot!" he yelled out as he slammed the pannel closed and ran back to the cockpit.

"Do you think 'e's alright?" Tracer asked before the shuttle lurched backwards, unearthing itself.

"I don't know, but I need to check on him." Angela said as the shuttle hovered all of a foot above ground before the foreword thrusters opened up and music could be heard playing much too loud as the shuttle pulled away from them. "Shit!" she yelled as the trio chased after it.
