Alright so this will be the final character update and honestly I feel like this will be one of my better works I've done in a while. This should make them balanced and I also want to point out, if you see a character similar to this later on in game. Just know who did it first.
Also wondering if I went too heavy on references last time. Or if I'm trying to push a ship or anything too much. Let me know please. And because of the excessive use of foul language, I've been told to update this from T to M.

Okay, this is my final draft for all the heroes and their powers/abilities. Obviously some seem broken, some seem weak, and some just seem like they would be a blast to play. C'mon Blizzard! If I can come up with this shit, y'all can come up with fun shit too.
Sorry had to get that off my chest after the last couple of updates, seasons, the new battle pass system they have, etc. What I'm saying this will be the last character update... or will it?
And now, onto the real chapter.
[Outpost: Valhalla]
"FUCK!" Church yelled, kicking a random piece of debris across the room.
Winston groaned as he heard the news, "This is bad."
"Damn straight." Tucker agreed, with his arms folded.
Church kept knocking stuff over as he kept complaining, "SON OF A BITCH!"
"Is it really that bad?" Tracer asked the two newest people to join up, Carolina and Washington.
After being informed that the current present members of Overwatch were aware of Church, the Alpha and the Fragments, conversations were, difficult to start. Carolina was just glad the main task at hand was being focused on, "When the jailbreak occured. Someone had hacked the alarms, keeping us in the dark for 3 hours."
"COCK SUCKERS!" Church came back to toss a chair at the wall.
Washington ignored Church's screams, as they seemed justifiable, "By the time we arrived on the scene we spent the last 35 hours searching for other escaped convicts. When we did finish, all reports from the prisoners, surviving guards and other witnesses reported a talon dropship with a few of the key members jumping out."
"As of right this moment they have a window of almost 48 hours of time ahead of us." Carolina added.
"ASSHOLES!!!" Church finished shouting, giving him time to catch his breath as he trashed the small part of the room he wandered in, "So they probably already have him."
"Sigma (the creative AI) was left with the original suit that Agent Maine wore. And our records show that Malcolm Hargrove only had the schematics to replicate the suit. The exact location is only known to Hargrove because his team packaged the original. So he might not even know, which means he'd have to go looking themselves." Carolina tried to inspire hope.
"Carolina, they have one of the best hackers in the world... she'll no doubt already have the files."
"Then it's a good thing we had a shadow in the inside..." Washington reminded Carolina.
Carolina nodded and signaled that he could uncloak and reveal himself. The shadow, being an old enemy turned ally, Locus appeared right next to them. Tucker went for his sword and ignited it ready to strike, "What the hell?! After all the shit he's done?!"
"After the events on the island of Chorus, we tracked him down. Found him doing some vigilante work. We offered him amnesty and a pardon if he worked for us and did some dirty work for good." Carolina explained.
Locus remained silent with the blade to his throat as he looked Tucker directly in the face. When he spoke he had his arms up to show he means no harm, "They... had me keep tabs on you all... making sure you stayed out of trouble."
"Why should we believe you?" Tucker asked.
"151 rum, pineapple juice and Malibu..."
Tucker's eyes grew wide, then he scoffed and turned off his sword, "My favorite drink I had after we thought Church died in the crash... So you really have been our guardian asshole."
"At first it was watch over you all, make sure none of you died. Then Overwatch recruited you all and my objective changed from watching over you, to spying on Talon." Locus listed, "Over the time I noticed increased activity along some of the places you once visited. Then we started seeing a pattern when they started researching the AI. They already have the suit."
"FUCK!" Church repeated.
Tucker calmed his friend down for just a moment, "Why would they even grab him, if they had the suit?"
"Could just be to learn from his mistakes so that he can finally be rid of you." Winston thought.
Church stopped cussing to take a moment to join the conversation, "No... they're smarter than we give them credit for. Smarter than us."
"That's not saying much." Tucker quipped.
"No... I'm serious. We'd just do it out of spite, or for revenge. Doomfist is a strategist, but he doesn't know all the information... he's trying to know everything..."
"How so?" Carolina quizzed as she leaned forward.
Church took a moment to think when the thought occurred to him, "Were any of my files looked at? My real one's?"
Washington used his device to confirm Church's suspicions, he showed up a sugar skull symbol, "She... got into them. Her calling card was the first thing we found."
"What now? It's not like we can call them up and tell them not to open it." Tucker remarked.
Church took that information then called in for some expert help, "SARGE! I need you to scramble a call for me!"
"I can bounce the signal around, why?" Sarge asked.
[Halfway Across The Globe: Airship Graveyard]
Talon had occupied the area, there wasn't a full army, just a small strike team with some of the key figures in charge. The icy air bit some of their skin as they stood waiting for the team to get into positions. Standing the tallest and the proudest was none other than Doomfist as he oversaw everything.
As he did, one of his Talon soldiers approached him, more running to him with a phone in hand. He turned to the side raising his eyebrow up to look at his subordinate, "What is it now?"
"Sir... Maximilian is on the line." The soldier explained.
Doomfist took the phone and signaled for him to leave for this conversation, he put the phone to his ear and began speaking, "Now is not a good time Max..."
"Oh I think you can make time for this Thanos." The voice on the other end replied.
Akande laughed as he heard the cocky voice, "Ah, if it isn't the great Alpha."
"Yeah I go by Church, but trust me when I say you're walking into a shit show. Oh and don't even waste Sombra's time trying trace this..."
"Why would I believe that."
"Because I know something that Hargrove doesn't." Church admitted.
Doomfist inhaled as he looked at the man next to him. The man being Malcolm Hargrove, out of his prison orange and into a grey, black and red suit. Standing right between the Robotic Meta clone and Felix copycat Doomfist smiled as kept talking, "I have no idea who that is."
"Don't be dumb! Look the Meta suit is not what you think. It's not empty... If you think the Anubis AI was bad. This is the apocalypse moment, do NOT open the suit!"
"I can handle it. If you called just to warn me, then you should not have let the suit survive..." Doomfist hung up.
[Back At Valhalla Outpost]
Church had hung up the phone after having no success in convincing Doomfist about the dangers he could and would unleash into the world today. He looked defeated as everyone, stood around the base looking at him while trying to think what's the next step. Best case scenario; is Doomfist gets a super suit, worst case scenario; Sigma (The AI) gets free. Now they all felt as though they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Hopeless, against impossible odds he slumped with his back against the wall while he was trying to make sense of the situation. All of him was trying to make sense, Omega was seething with rage, Theta was locked in his own bubble, Gamma kept lying, trying to ensure everyone that everything would be okay, While Eta kept crying as he missed his other half. The only one who was doing any work of the sort was Delta, running all the numbers he could have, trying to come up with the most likely course of action.
The smartest and not so smartest minds in the hall, just outside were trying to think about what to do next. No one coming up with any real solution that would work next or be a permanent fix.
"We might as well just leave at this point." Cole Cassidy suggested as he flicked his cigar.
Winston shook his head, "You can't be serious? Cassidy... With everything on the line."
"If this goes south, the UN is gonna try to pin this as a failure on your part." Washington informed them
Carolina joined in the discussion, "We are literally on our own."
"We? You're with us now?" Tucker asked.
"We should have been with you all the whole time. We're sorry. We're here now... if you'll have us."
"Of course. Always." Tucker nodded to the two, "Not that it changes anything, we got no army like Talon."
"Yes we do." Church realized something that made the AIs and the people in the room pay attention.
He stepped out into the hall where everyone was standing, "Hargrove is free and wants some payback for his services. Probably that Felix bot somebody made. So they're gonna come for us, maybe after they come after the other reason they failed. So we're gonna beat them to the punch and we're gonna set up defenses so we can gang up on them and wreck their shit. So if y'all are feeling like a little payback and ass kicking, follow us."
"Wait, where are we going?" Winston asked as everyone began following them to the large dropship.
Church turned and smiled, "We're going to Chorus..."
[Back at the Artic Shipyard]
After breaking through over 10 automatically locked and sealed doors 10 talon troops alongside Doomfist and Hargrove make it to their destination. The main office, more like trophy room with all the once memorable items that has been in the Reds and Blue's past. And there at the far end of the room lied the real suit, behind the one that was once in the center of the room.
Hargrove couldn't help but smile as he retold the story, "I had my team reverse engineer the original. Do you think I'd let those mercenaries have the original."
"It's promising, I'll give you that." Doomfist nodded.
"I entrust that my position with Talon is secured?"
"We share some of the same goals, different ideals but in the end we both land on the same path."
Hargrove gave a bow as he looked up, "Then I trust you'll be rid of my problems while taking care of yours."
"Trust me, The Reds, Blues, Freelancers and Overwatch will fall. Maybe you can have the Alpha as another trophy."
As the word was said, Alpha, the finger on the original suit twitched, followed by slight orange, fiery glow for just a moment. Making Felix-bot and Robo-Meta twitch unknowingly.
[To Be Continued]
Also I lied, one more quick update.
LOCUS: Attack
Main Weapon: Heavy LMG, Railgun and sword.
Ability 1: Cloaked in shadows, he constantly uses his tech to remain hidden among the battlefield. (Every shot fired, or ability used makes him visible as well as damage taken: Cooldown after not cloaked: 5 seconds)
Ability 2: His Railgun goes through enemies but not shields, matrix or blocks. (Cooldown: 10 seconds)
Ability 3: His sword allows him to be like a cold blooded killer, straight out of a horror film. With a slash he does tremendous damage, twice as much if he's stabbing from behind. (Cooldown: 10 seconds)
Ultimate: Silent but deadly. His cloak comes with no cost, every attack keeps him cloaked but he becomes REVEALED with just a faint shimmer of where he is.
Okay now that should cover everyone, for now. First, I want to say I might lose some of y'all when I switch this to Rated M. But I think we'll be fine, you should be able to find us. I also wished to say that we should be able to complete this story before the 16th of September. As that is when I go back to school. Now I wanted to say thank you for everything and wish everybody a good day and I'll see y'all in the next one.
As always Churchisalive, signing off for now.
