Okay so that again, I love you guys are enjoying the story but I still need more comments on how's to continue this. Even if it has nothing to do with progression, I am needy. Sorry for the delay, now back to the story.
[Church's Chambers]
The room the three heroes found themselves in was a whole lot cleaner than the outside but only by a little. The walls were a cold steel grey, with one wall of the room being a window to the outside world. The room had one large bed in the back of the room made from the back of a large pickup truck. The soft part of the bed was made out of some fur of a large animal.
The chambers featured a large shelf of offerings, mostly alcohol, some jewelry where his buzzaxe and sword layed. Church himself was resting in his bath which was neatly made of stone and cement.
Caboose looked at Church and was wondering how, just how Church went back to normal, especially under these circumstances. Church looked at Caboose while in his bandaged underwear and mummified and sat there soaking in the water.
"So um, how long have you been...you know, you." Caboose asked.
Church looked at Caboose, "Since the fight ended yesterday. After you were brought here the other guy took a break from that, he had his fill of blood for now." Church explained, "Now what are you guys doing here?" Church asked.
"We came to bring you back to the Overwatch Base. We can still get you out if we just get you t-" Brigitte answered.
Church got up and walked away towards the window, "This place is somewhat of a home, all the people here are either deserving with the the exceptions of those who just adapt to survive. Somewhere in the midst of all this chaos and destruction, I felt peaceful for a moment." Church said.
Caboose looked at Church and was confused, "Church you're not coming?" Caboose asked.
Church looked down, "Caboose, how many times have I nearly caused your death? What happens if you get hurt because of me? I'm sorry but I'm staying." He said as he made his way past the shelf of alcohol.
Brigitte was about to say something but Caboose placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head, "I understand Church." Caboose said as he walked closer to the liquor shelf himself.
"Caboose I can't tell you how sorry I am for this, if I could I would but this curse is something that I must carry alo-" Church said as he was interrupted by one of the glass bottles hithitting the back of his head.
Caboose picked Church up and put him in a nap sack made out of Church's sheets on the bed.
Brigitte looked at him confused and somewhat disappointed, "What are you doing?" She asked.
"Being selfish." Caboose answered honestly, "I just got him back I can't lose him again." He said.
Brigitte lowered her head then looked around the room, "Well if we're leaving this place we'd better be smart about it. Here put this on." She said as she handed him some brown leathered apocalypse geared.
Caboose looked at the clothes then smiled at Brigitte, "Thank you." He said.
"Don't mention it." Brigitte smiled back at him.
[Minutes Later]
"McCree be prepared, me and Caboose have Church." Brigitte said into her com link.
"I hear ya, Tucker, Mercy and I are heading towards the gate right now." McCree said as the five of them were about to rendezvous spot.
Unfortunately there were two groups watching Caboose and Brigitte, and one group watching McCree and the rest of the team.
[Just Outside the Gate to Junker Town]
The regroup had finally come as they all met directly outside, "Alright Lena is watching the ship so we can get out of here in 5. Where's Church?" asked Tucker.
Suddenly the nap sack began to move, "He's sleeping." Caboose said as he punched the bag.
Mercy looked at the tall Tank, "You kidnapped him?" She asked.
"Well technically, yes." Brigitte answered.
"Hold on now hoss. He ain't coming willingly." McCree asked.
Caboose looked at the sky for a moment to avoid eye contact, "No, not actually." Caboose said.
Tucker stopped this quickly, "Who cares I'm not leaving my brother here." He said.
McCree grabbed Tucker by the shoulder, "We don't do that here." McCree said straight to his face.
Tucker and McCree growled in each other's face until a rolled up stack of TNT came barreling towards them. Forced the two backed up and looked where it came from. McCree froze as he saw the an old friend of his, "Ashe, didn't expect to find you here." He said to the new comer.
Ashe was accompanied by six other deadlock gang members including B.O.B., all holding western era weapons. Ashe herself was dresser in all black with her gold accented level action rifle, "I'm on business. Ya see, money is a little tight and your head catches for $60,000,000. So you do the math." She said.
"Old friend?" Tucker asked.
"The name's Ashe, I guess you could say that me and McCree started the deadlock gang together when we were young." She answered.
Tucker had one hand on his sword as he was about to unholster his gun and unsheath his sword, Caboose saved him with a heads up, "Tucker, goose!" Caboose shouted.
Tucker, knowing Caboose, ducked down to avoid a large hook, Tucker traced the chain back to it's owner to find it was that of the heavy man with the pig gas mask and his scrawny pal. Tucker only knew one way how to respond, "Just great." He said as he backed into McCree.
"Old friends?" McCree asked jokingly.
"No we met the other day." Tucker answered.
"That's right. No one man handles me or Roadie and gets away with it." Junkrat shouted as Tucker held his sword with one hand.
Tucker and McCree shared a look with one another, "Get to the ship, we'll hold them off." McCree said as he spun the rounds of his revolver.
Angela who was known to be as close to an Angel refused, "Not going to happen," She said as she stood next to Tucker, "We're all in hell together." She said.
Brigitte and Caboose stood in front of McCree, "You want to hurt my friends, you're gonna have to tear through me you sons of-" Caboose cried out as a shot in the air.
The Queen has known about her champion disappearing and sent off some of her royal guardsmen to search for him. So about 10 armed guardsmen came strolling out as they had the forces of the army of Junker Town on their side. So Caboose held onto the bag tightly when one of them holding a large knife wearing a reindeer skull helmet aimed it at Caboose's general direction. The bigger version of Junkrat called him out, "Oi, big guy, what's in the bag?" He asked.
Caboose gripped the bag even tighter, "Who wants to know?" He asked in a suspicious tone.
The larger rat of a man smiled through his wicked teeth, "Well, seeing as that's a lot of supplies and we haven't checked your luggage yet, makes sense that we'll have to check it for an overhaul of goods." Caboose, lugging it over his shoulder he let it slide behind him and cracked his knuckles. The man saw Caboose's strength was something to marvel knew the fight would be messy. But he didn't know who'd win, "But we'll be able to overlook this for some..." The disgusting man licked his front teeth, "...feminine entertainment." Upon hearing this everyone became disgusted.
Caboose took one step forward to protest but that's when the bag moved and out came their agitated cargo, "Caboose! What the hell? I can't believe you did something like this!" Church yelled as he was free of the bag.
Caboose put his hands up as if Church was a dangerous animal, "Church, I can explain." Caboose was about to say until Church continued his rant for the better.
"No you listen, this is the one order I'm happy you disobeyed." Church continued.
"You're not mad?" Caboose asked.
Church kept shouting in his angered tone, "Never have I ever been prouder of you all until this moment. I just got you idiots, do you think I wanna lose you?" He asked.
As their conversation continued, Ashe received an alert on her phone showing the following. Wanted: Alive, Reward 4 billion, Name: Leonard Leeroy Church. Sure enough the face of the man in the wanted picture was that of the man in front of everyone.
The Hog and the Rat both looked at the wanted poster to see that it was the man that they had kidnapped, and the man in front of them were one in the same.
The last group, had one man pull out a stack of wanted posters to pull up the one with Church's face and amount. All of them grew wicked grins and stared at Church.
Church looked around to see this and became cautious, "What's up with them?" He asked.
The wanted poster from the group of Junkers flew into Tucker's hand and he grew wide eyed, open mouthed, "Well Church, you're really popular. Who'd you piss off?" Tucker asked.
"Don't know. Don't care." Church said as he closed his eyes with a smug grin, "Out of curiosity, why do you ask?" Church asked. Tucker then presented him with the poster, Church grew wide eyed and dropped the picture, "Damn, I'm fucked." Church stated.
Tucker then placed a hand on his shoulder, Tucker had stripped of his shirt, "Don't worry, we just got our favorite asshole, we ain't letting you go." He said as held his samurai sword with two hands facing Junkrat and Roadhog.
Caboose cracked his knuckles and faced Ashe and B.O.B. as well as the rest of the deadlock gang, "C'mon Church, we got this." Caboose added.
Ashe smirked, "Oh c'mon now, just hand him over, and everything will be fine." She said.
"Forget that noise, we stole him first. Fair and square. give him up." Junkrat said.
"Oi, he's on our turf, now give him up or we'll him bleed out of ya all." The nastiest Junker said.
Tucker grabbed Church's shoulder who was still looking to the floor, "Church, you okay?" He asked.
Church just stood there as he dropped the poster and held the mask in his hands, "Krieg is telling me something." Church answered.
"What? Now is not the time to listen to psycho." Tucker said as he backed up into Church and Caboose.
Church held the mask in his hand, "So much deserving, so much guilty, so much blood." Church said as he stared at his mask.
Caboose knew what Church meant, "Church." he paused for a moment, to receive his buddy's hesitant attention, "No matter what you do, you're always my best friend. Now, do what you gotta do." Caboose said with a confirming look.
Church took a deep breath, and said a chant to release all the necessary power,
"When all is lost,
Undo this lock.
And send me forth,
On a moonlit walk.
...Release the beast." Church finished.
[Party Party Party by Andrew W.K]
[I ain't censoring this fight]
As he finished that chant Tucker and Caboose backed away as he placed the mask. Sure enough Junkrat remembered the mask, and out of instinct fired his grenades as Roadhog shot his junk shells at Church. Ashe and her posse fired all their rounds of western era weapons and B.O.B.'s arm cannons in the same directions. Finally the most deserving group shot junk made rifles, pistols, and shotguns as they seemingly killed the man.
One of the deserving Junkers from the large group smiled, "Hey I don't want to jinx it, but I think we nailed hi-URGH!" He started until a buzzaxe thrown as his throat left him decapitated.
Soon the beast came leaping at them, "Ha ha! It's a baptism of blood!" The monster cried out with blood joy.
He wasted no time as he ripped out one of their throats, immediately spinning around to ram through some other Junker's throat. He then placed his hands on someone's skull and jammed his thumbs through the eye holes ripping the skull apart as the body was split down the middle. Another fired the shotgun at the crazed maniac, but his chest was open as the monster ripped it wider, splitting the ribcage apart as he used those ribs as daggers for his next victims.
The large rat of a man ran to the pole, "We need reinforcements!" He pleaded, "Send out the hunters!" He demanded.
Four large trucks drove through the large gate as the first truck fired a harpoon through the monster's arm. The harpooner cheered, "Got'em. He's a live one." In an attempt to drive off the truck halted as the monster tore the stick out and yanked on the cable attached, landing on it's back crushing the two on the back the two in the front left alive for now.
The next truck attempted to run him over as it did, and the Junkers inside the driver and passenger seat cheered. Until they heard a noise from underneath, "You hear that?" The driver asked, but before the passenger could answer he was met with a large hand grabbing his intestines and tearing through the metal floor. Soon the windows were splattered with blood as the driver crashed into a broken down van, one of the passengers in the back went flying off the cliff with the force, while the other smashed straight into the side of the broken down van, dead on impact.
The other truck driver yelled at his crew, "Light him up! Light him up!" He demanded as his team hopped onto the. 50 cal, machine gun and fired at the crashed truck. After being punctured with only a few seconds the truck exploded as they continued to fire. The driver stopped so they could continue to fire, "Don't let up." He said as he tried to look for a body. He did see part of the car moving but realized too late it was the car door as he and his passenger next to him lost their heads while the back passengers lost their bottom halves as flaming car door sliced through them.
The last truck went head on with the now flaming monster as the two from earlier witnessed what came next to their fate. They fired their rifles but to only ensure their demise. As the monster finished with the last truck he charged toward the last two as one of the hunters cried out, "They expected us, they expected all of us. Dear lord, no!!!" He screamed.
The Rat man called for another force, "Send out the Brute Squad!" He demanded.
30 or so melee armed Junkers rushed out to kill the beast that rampaged through everyone.
Caboose shouted toward Church who was now Krieg, "Krieg, catch!" Caboose shouted as he threw Krieg the same broad sword Caboose used in the arena. He then charged the rest of the Brute Squad like they were weeds in the field, waiting to be cut down.
The commander saw body parts fly with ease, "Holy shit bro, this is what we get for being brutes. Glurargh!" He said before being pierced by the broad sword himself.
The Rat tried for another team, "Send out the scrap collectors." He tried.
He then heard the voice from the other side of the intercom, "They fucked off after they saw the throat ripped out!" The female voice shouted back.
"Craaaaap!" The Rat shouted.
Tucker then looked at Mercy, "It's kind of ironic I think." He said.
"What could be ironic?" Mercy asked.
"That within Church there is a war inside, but he's perfect for war." Tucker said, "And war in German is..."
"KRIIIEEEEEEEG!?!?!?" The Rat man said. As the demon walked towards him.
Back with the conversation, Mercy questioned Tucker's logic, "I don't think that's too ironic, just coincidental." She said.
"Meh, worth a guess." Tucker said.
Ashe knew her gang would be killed if they got involved, "Deadlock, fall back! I got this one." She shouted as she reloaded her rifle.
Her and B.O.B stood their ground as she took aim and shot at the back of the monster's head. Krieg lunged forward as he felt the force of the bullet. Before he could charge the sniper he was met with the charging force of B.O.B as he was uppercutted into the air. The airborne beast was shot by B.O.B and ashe as their bullets impacted his skin for 5 seconds. B.O.B then picked up Krieg in midair by the throat and proceeded to choke him out with his right arm and punch his face with the left. Punch after 10 metal fists rammed their into Krieg's rough skin soon B.O.B learned that this man was not like the others. B.O.B lost his grip as Krieg threw B.O.B's arm off his throat and held the middle of B.O.B's torso with both arms.
With a wicked smile, Krieg looked at the burly omnic butler, "C'mon, shoot me. Kill me! Give me a HUG!!!" Krieg demanded as a crushing sound was heard and B.O.B was split in two by the force of the hug. The monster threw part of the omnic against a wall past a bridge.
Ashe saw the beast creep his way to B.O.B but intervienied as she fired her twelve bullets one by one into the separate parts of Krieg's body. As she neared him she shot the last two into his face as he grabbed her rifle. His head was knocked up as the bullets made their home. As ashe felt herself ease up her gun was being raised by the man she shot at.
Krieg's face lit up with anger as his eye seemed even more red and bloodshot, but he lifted his mask for a moment as he showed his lips chewing on something. One of the bullets that landed into his head, was now in between his top and bottom teeth as he spat out the bullet. He placed his mask back on as he pulled out the last bullet from his skull, slowing the bronze piece came out with red liquor surrounding it.
As the last bullet made it out he snatched the gun from Ashe as he shattered the rifle against his knee. She pulled out her sawed-off double barrel but knew that'd do nothing to the hulking 7 ft 1 inch beserker in front of her. As Krieg looked into her eyes he saw something through the reflection of it. He threw himself over her to protect her from the projectile that exploded on his back.
He spun around tossing her to the side to Junkrat fired the grenade, "Roadie, Now!" Junkrat yelled as his pal Roadhog hooked Krieg's neck with the monster's back towards him. The chain landed over the bridge as the screws dug into his neck, Krieg could handle that pain, but suddenly a rip-tire came spinning towards his backside. The explosion launched him forward losing his grip on the chain as Roadhog tugged as hard as he could. Krieg's body went sailing through the air and his speed sent his neck running towards the bridge as a loud crack was heard.
Krieg's neck was crushed.
"Oh, we needed him alive." Junkrat realized.
"Yeah, good riddance." Roadhog said. As they turned to the others.
Soon the lifeless body of Krieg twitched as it swung in the breeze hanging.
As they neared the group, Junkrat immediately felt a a tight object around his neck as he was pulled back. When he managed to see what exactly pulled him he was close lined by the strongest arm he felt in a long time.
Roadhog looked backed to see the man he killed walked among them. Stunned he stood there with his gun hanging aimed at the maniac. As his stunned moment passed he fired at the Psycho, junk cutting flesh as the man charged the Hog. Nothing stopped him now.
Roadhog clenched his right hand as he prepared to punch the person who beat Junkrat. Krieg also prepared for the punch as he clenched his right fist as well. The two came speeding together as the high impact was about to collide, when the fist met Roadhog's elbow came out as the fist split bones.
Now he was at Krieg's mercy as he held the hook, ready to deliver his vengeance upon him. But paused as he looked at the people around, then to the pig's face.
Krieg dropped the hook as he no longer felt that itch to kill this man. He instead extended out a hand as the violence came to a nearby end.
But the Rat from earlier called for one more trick. The sun was blocked out as they all saw the Wrecking Ball now landed near them. The Rat came out filled with pride, "You won't be standing here much longer monster. Wrecking Ball is here for a rematch." He said as the ball stayed in one place, "Go on, do somethin'." He demanded from the ball.
The ball turned to the Rat as he extended out his machine gun barrels at him, "What are you doing? Him, not me." The Rat man hoped.
The Wrecking Ball turned to Krieg and said in a monotone voice, "He's all yours." He said as he rolled over to the winning side.
Now Krieg shifted his gaze to the Rat as he placed his hand on his throat, "This one, we can kill." Church said from inside.
"No...no, no, no, no, no. Please Nooo!!! Gahk!" The Rat man cried as Krieg ripped him to pieces. Drenching the sands of Australia with this pathetic excuse of person's blood.
As he walked back, pleased with his work, Church was once again allowed to come back. The closer he got to the group the smaller of a person he became as he fell in front of them.
Church removed the mask and looked at Tucker, "Did we win?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's go home." Tucker said.
Tucker said as Mercy lifted Church up and covered him with the fur from the blanket.
Ashe tended to B.O.B as he was still alive just barely functioning, Caboose went next to her. He put out his large hand as Ashe looked behind in sadness and anger as she nearly growled. But the hand was taken by B.O.B as he grabbed Caboose and was positioned on Caboose's back, like C3-PO, Caboose picked his bottom part up. Ashe followed both of them. Brigitte followed behind Caboose to watch over Ashe.
Tucker grabbed one side of the pig man as he lifted him to his feet, "C'mon bud, don't make me do all the work here." Tucker said to McCree.
McCree still had his gun fixed on Junkrat, "I'm watching this one." He said.
Tucker looked at McCree, "Alright, after that give Clint Eastwood all his looks back. Sarge makes it look good, you killed it." He said.
Now they all make it back to the ship where Tracer waits to fly them back to Overwatch. Only to discover they are about to receive a new visitor.
