Crystalline Universe: Team Fortress 2/ Overwatch

Chapter 12 - Welcome to Overwatch

The chaos reigned over the city. Dodging through the countless bullets and missiles littering the sky, the medic's jet managed to survive the deadly waves of attacks.

Bernhardt (stressed) - Ouf! Jesus Christ, we almost got killed! Why nobody told me that they were so advanced on their offence.

McCree (relaxed) - At least we didn't die, you don't mind that I take a small nap? We didn't sleep for 7 days already.

Bernhardt - Sure, sure! Get some sleep, we still have a half-hour before we arrive.

laying down on a corner, McCree fell asleep shortly after.

Back to medic's side, McArthur approached the doctor in order to talk.

McArthur - Why were you so afraid? I wasn't going to kill you or something!

Bernhardt - What are you talking about, you don't remember? You almost killed me two years ago for organ trafficking! Now, you suddenly show up like this the exact day I bought Australium.

McArthur (confused) - What? Did I? I don't seem to remember anything.

Bernhardt - So you don't remember? Wait, wait, so you are not here to bring me trouble?

McArthur (confused) - Bring you trouble? I don't even remember who I am! By the way, do you know who I am?

The medic thought to himself: (So he's amnesic, thank God, I'm safe as long as he keeps everything secret)

Bernhardt (relieved) - Listen, I don't personally know you other than you are one of the leaders of a huge mafia association that specialize in assassination and warfare, who's also responsible for a world war called Talon.

McArthur (shocked) - Me? A leader of a criminal association? What the hell? What am I, I was surely an evil mastermind of some sort. Oh my, what should I do?

Bernhardt (Seeing the opportunity to befriend a strong ally) - Stay and fight with us, you can redeem yourself by fighting for the people's freedom with Overwatch. You can also assist me in my medical researches to help others in need.

McArthur (partially relieved) - I think that way too, I accept your invitation, I will do my best to help you guys up.

Bernhardt - Alright, I'll help to get you enlisted to our fleet. Talking about that, here we arrived.

A massive air fleet composed of a single trilateral battlecruiser at a length of 2 km, a gigantic triangular shaped aircraft-carrier at a length of 3km, a width of 1,5km and a height of 500m, 6 small support battlecruisers at a length of 500m each and finally 3 support cruiser: one for supply transport, one for medical use and the last one for storage and scientific researches each at a length of 800m occupied the sky. Impressed by the view, McArthur looked in admiration as the small jet he's in slowly approached the colossal aircraft-carrier.

Suddenly, five fighter jet circled the approaching jet while arming themselves.

Fighter jet pilot - identify yourself pilot of the jet OV-4568.

Bernhardt - Code-43, password-202278SC-LK, 3 passengers: chief medic, Bernhardt Ludwig, agent McCree and new recruit, McArthur.

Fighter jet pilot - Identification approved, landing granted, have a nice day, sir.

Entering the through one of the ship's hangars, the jet carefully landed inside the massive mothership. Unlike standard aircraft-carrier, the cruiser's complement of sh.i.p.s lands inside the carrier through hangars spread across its right side.

Bernhardt (while getting up from his seat) - McArthur take some new military uniform from the closet to your left, your sharp suit looks pretty dirty from your 7 days escape.

McArthur - Alright and McCree?

Bernhardt - Let him rest a few more minutes, I will be waiting outside, take your time to clean your self, the water fountain is to your right.

Finishing his sentence, the medic walked outside the ship, closing the ramp in order to leave McArthur some privacy.

Inside the ship, McArthur started to take his jacket off, putting aside his tie, he suddenly heard a noise coming from his behind. McCree is to his right, so there must be someone else. Turning his head to look at his back, McArthur shouted:

- Show yourself! Who are you?

Slowly decloaking from invisibility, a blond fox-girl stood in front of McArthur.

Kadyn (worried) - Mike? Are you alright? I was so worried about you!

Launching herself toward McArthur, the young man suddenly backed up from the girl.

McArthur - Woah! Woah! Who are you? Do I know you?

Kadyn (surprised) - What are you talking about? I'm Kadyn, Mike, how...

McArthur - I don't remember anything at all, can you tell me who I am?

Kadyn - Sniper, you fought him 7 days ago, then you got hurt, I followed you here because I was worried. Please, Mike, stop joking about all this, this is not funny.

The young man stood unresponsive, slowly he started to lose his balance, needing to sit in order to keep himself from falling down. McArthur ended up collapsing against the wall, he was in pain, just as something was trying to take control of him. He used his hand to hold his head while screaming out of pain. His pupil suddenly turned small. In the meantime, he scratched the floor like a wild beast as drool dripped out of his mouth.

Kadyn - Mike? Are you...

Before she could finish her phrase, the man stood up and grabbed her by the neck then proceeded to slam her against a window. Only madness can be seen inside his eyes, he was neither Mike or McArthur, he was just a devil looking to bring pain. Using now, both his hand he started to fiercely choke the young girl. His face was filled with joy and a devilish smile as he kept strangling violently Kadyn.

The mad man (In grin) - Hahahaha! Look at you, helpless and weak. Let me see that face of despair, let me see that face of a dead girl. Come on! Come on! Show me, SHOW ME! Hahaha!

tightening his grasp, Kadyn was furtherly choked to the point where her lips turned purple. She tried to talk but no word came out of her mouth. The situation became desperate for the young girl, she must free herself. Grabbing the mad man's hands, she tried to pull them away to no avail.

In a last-ditch attempt, she was forced to extract her wrist knife from within her arm and slice the mad man's face. Screaming out of pain, the mad man felt to the ground covering his wound. Seeing the opportunity, Kadyn rendered herself invisible again.

McCree (Slowly waking up from his sleep) - McArthur? I heard some noise, gosh, have we arrived in the base?

Reopening his eyes, McArthur stood up, totally unaware of what just happened.

McArthur (confused) - Oh my, what the hell happened, why is there a cut on my face, ouch!

McCree - You surely was tired too, maybe you fell asleep and you hurt yourself in your sleep.

McArthur - Yeah, you're right, I do need some rest.

After changing both their clothes, McCree and McArthur both stepped out of the jet. The medic brought them to meet the captain of the ship, 76. Shortly after, McArthur was assigned to work with McCree's team of agents.

*Inside a small lounge

All the agents working with McCree was assembled to greet the new recruit.

McCree (Pointing to the right) - Here McArthur, this is agent Genji, our green ninja dude.

McArthur (reaching his hand out) - Nice to meet you Genji.

Genji (Also reach his hand to shake McArthur's) - Nice to meet you, McArthur, I'm looking forward to work with you. McCree told me that you saved his life, I'm thankful that you saved a great friend of mine. Also, you can call me ninja dude, I don't mind.

McArthur - Haha, alright.

McCree (pointing to the left) - McArthur, this is fellow agent, Reinhardt.

Reinhardt (while shaking McArthur's hand) - Nice to meet you, McArthur, what is your weapon of choice?

McArthur - I don't really specialize in a specific weapon but I'm good with sniper rifles.

Reinhardt - Oh really? Then in the future, if we have to fight those Talon sc.u.ms, you can be our sharpshooter while I tank for the damage.

McCree - Yeah, you can be our sniper in the future, now, you must be tired, let me guide you to your chamber.

McArthur - Sure thing, I think I really need some sleep.

*In a hallway of the cruiser.

Kadyn, while invisible, stood in front of a door. While looking at the tag on the steel door, she thought to herself:

- (This must be it, this where Ethan told me to go)

On the door, it's marked: [ Dane Conagher, Chief Engineer, Chief Scientist ]
