Chapter 4: I Gotta Rock...
“Well chalk this one up to the new things we get to punch WOAH!” Rainbow Dash said as she ducked a large rock that sailed through the air. It crashed behind her and her friends, leaving a trail of destruction in it’s wake. Ponies ran past them and past the other princesses as they got out of the way of the danger.
“Hmmm… rock monsters. It’s been awhile since we saw something like them,” Luna remarked as she looked at the group or cobbled together creatures. Weird formations of rocks moved together in tall formations of bodies, a few standing as tall as princess Celestia were dwarfed by other that made several of the nearby houses that they were trying to attack seem small.
“They don’t seem very coordinated do they?” Rarity ask as everyone watched them shamble around slowly while groaning, bumping into each other and occasionally taking a swing at something. From what they all could see the only thing that had been destroyed was a cart full of cabbage, it owner was a good distance away from it now but had broken down into tears over the destruction.
“So uh what’s the plan here Twi?” Applejack asked as she watched two of the smaller rock creatures bump into each other and fall apart only to reassemble themselves.
“Pfft. Plan-schman. Have you seen these guys? There as dumb as...as...a bunch of….well a bunch of them! I say we just knock them over and then clean up with ease. Watch i’ll start!” Rainbow Dash declared confidently and zoomed off before anyone could say otherwise.
She flew over to one of the taller rock monsters and aimed a buck at a small rock that looked like it was a knew or something. The kick knocked the rock out of alignment with the rest and the rock creature slowly came tumbling down creating a pile of rocks. Rainbow waited for the cheers to begin but soon noticed that none were coming and also the the groaning of the other rock monsters had stopped. Looking around she noticed that slowly all the rock monsters were beginning to face her. It was weird seeing as most of these things had a rock which denoted a head but no exact facial features which made the missing groaning all the weirder. “Uh…” Rainbow never got to think of anything to say as a noise form below disturbed her train of thought. The pile of the rock monster she just kicked was moving. Each rock seeming to climb over and on top of one another as it began to reassemble itself. The head rocked climbed back into place and like the others began to stare at Rainbow Dash before all of them let out a collective roar
“Well that can’t possibly be good,” Twilight said as she used her magic to pull Rainbow Dash back. They watched as the rock monsters now seemed to become more organized and enraged. The started smashing and hitting things on purpose. “Ok, thanks to Rainbow’s brilliant plan we now need a new plan before these things decide to actually destroy Ponyville,” Twilight said as Rainbow gave a sheepish smile. “Now it seems like just dismembering them won’t work so it looks like we’re going to have to-
“HELP!!!” a trio of high pitched cries grabbed all the attention from Twilight. Everyone immediately looked towards the town square where the Cutie Mark Crusaders were hoof deep in trouble. They scampered beneath all the rock monsters trying their hardest to not get squished.
“Girls!” Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity all cried in unison and looked to Twilight for a plan. But before Twilight could speak something else happened to interrupt them.
“UUUURRRAAAAGGGHHH!” A large shape leaped over them landing closer to the crusaders than anyone else was at the moment, the shape unmistakable to anyone who had been in Twilight’s castle just minutes earlier
“Winston?”
____________________________________________________________________________
The Crusaders were having a fun day till the rock monsters showed up. But they only dampened their mood a little bit. Sure the couldn’t get Cutie Marks in rock monster corralling since they were way to small but the rock monsters weren’t doing anything too bad since they seemed to be just roaming around like they were tired or had just woken up from a long nap. The girls thought it was funny how they were acting and were watching with curiosity until Rainbow Dash showed up and kicked one.
“I don’t think that was a good idea,” Sweetie Bell said,
“Nonsense! Rainbow Dash always...knows what... she’s... doing?” Scootaloo started in support of her idol but lost a bit of confidence when the attitude of the rock monster's attitude started to change and everything went quiet.
“Sorry Scoots, but I’m gonna have to agree with Sweetie Belle,” Apple Bloom said just before the rock monsters let out a simultaneous roar.
“Run?”
“Run,” “Run,”
All three of them ran together trying to get out of the town square but just as they were about to get out a large arm swung down blocking their path. All three of them screamed and headed in the other direction but were quickly blocked off by one of the rock monsters. The three of them huddled together and hoped that their sister would save them quickly as a rock monster lifted an arm above them.
“UUUURRRAAAAGGGHHH!” a strange scream came from somewhere and the girls looked up when a new shadow fell over them. A weird shape came towards them as the rock monster began to bring its arm down on them. They braced for impact but were confused when they heard a weird thud from above them. THey opened their eyes to find themselves in a weird blue dome and beside them stood a giant gorilla, the only reason they knew it was a gorilla in the first place was thank to Miss Cheerilee’s excellent education.
Winston looked down at the three fillie watching as their jaws slowly dropped as they looked him over, it had been awhile since he had seen a child of any kind do that, but it was still fun to see when it happened. “Are you three ok?” he asked and trying to best as the slowly nodded in unison. “That good, now how about we get you three out of here?” he said as he scooped them up into one of his hands. “Tracer! Airmail!” Winston shouted and the Crusaders didn’t have time to react before he flung them up into the air. Truth be told it wasn’t the first time the Crusaders had seen Ponyville from this height but in this kind of situation they didn’t know whether to be scared or thrilled. From their height they saw most of the town as well as an orange blur that was seemingly sporadically teleporting towards them.
“Ah there you are,” the blur called out and in the blink of six eyes the blur jumped forward faster than anything they had seen; besides Rainbow Dash; and caught them. “HAHA first try!” Tracer said as she held the three fillies as tight as she could and circled back down to the ground. For the Crusaders the flight was pleasant enough and this mysterious pegasus was cool, but there was a limit to how much excitement a pony could take in one day. Unless of course that one pony was Pinkie Pie. As soon as Tracer touched down each crusader zipped over to their respective big sister and hugged them. “Awww, now that is just plain adorable. I wish I had a camera,” Tracer said as she looked at the little fillies holding onto their respective sister’s forelegs.
“Uh, Tracer?” Twilight said breaking Tracer’s concentration.
“Hmm? Oh yeah, right. Don’t worry about this, we got this one, think of it as repaying you for the damage in the library. Just because Overwatch doesn’t exist here doesn’t mean we don't have to help. Oh hey look a giant rock,” Tracer had said her piece while turning and came to find a decent size rock coming flying at them.
“Don’t worry I got this one,” Before Twilight could do anything Reinhardt stepped up from behind everyone. He reared up on two legs and managed to steady himself as he used his other two legs to bring back his hammer. When the rock had come close enough Reinhardt swung his hammer with a loud battle cry. The sound of the hammer connecting with the rock was akin to an explosion and caused many to blink and miss the rock sail back from the direction it came from and crashed into one of the larger rock monsters which resulted in an explosion of rocks. “HAHAHA! Now that was fun, I should do something like that when I have free time. Everyone looked up to the armor that shook with laughter watching what he had caused, their jaws agape just slightly.
“Maybe so, but for now we should focus on stopping these creatures,” Genji was the next to come out of the castle, and while his face was hidden the other ponies could hear just a bit of mirth in his voice from watching Reinhardt's antics. I can incapacitate the small ones, Tracer should make sure that none of them leaves this area. You and Winston can take down the bigger ones,” Genji said while smaller rocks came flying towards the group. Without looking Genji removed the smaller of his swords from the scabbard on his back and blocked each of them with precision and sent them flying back from where they came. “And we can have Bastion do clean up," as quick as he had pulled the blade out he sheathed it back in and calmly walked toward where Winston was currently zapping rock monsters with his Tesla gun.
“Um well yes, that sounds like an excellent plan. Bastion stay here and shoot from a distance,” Reinhardt called out to Bastion who was the last to arrive, before two plates on his back separated and he activated his small jet and charged across the square till he collided with another one of the taller rock monsters which cried out in alarm as it fell from the force of the collision.
“Boys...always like to act cool don’t they,” Tracer said nudging Twilight. She looked to her gear and then flick her wrist and grinned when she managed to catch her gun despite not having fingers. “Well good to know that still works...somehow,” She said before taking off once again.
Everyone stood there still in a bit of amazement as Bastion finally came to the front of the group. Everyone’s attention went from the spectacle in front of them to the tall robot next to them. Bastion picked Fluttershy out of the group and kneeled down next to her. “Bweep,” he made a noise and held of his hand and a bird quickly landed on it right in front of Fluttershy. Fluttershy’s mood went from mildly frightened to cheery when she saw the bird, it was a species that she never had the chance to see one up close before. She looked up at Bastion and could only describe his “look” as curious. She held her hoof up and the bird jumped to it gracefully with a flap of his wings. “Bweep boop,” Bastion beeped again and patted Fluttershy on her head. He took a few step forward and the ponies watched as his parts shifted around. “Boo boo boop beep bwoop BWEEP!” Bastion’s height reduced dramatically as he compacted and a long barrel protruded from his front, many of the ponies behind him were reminded of Pinkie’s party cannon. Bastion rolled forward before the long barrel swiveled around to face them. The bird of Fluttershy’s hoof gave a loud chirp and gestured with a nod of his head and the barrel seemed to nod in recognition and swiveled on back around just in time to blast a rock that was coming at it into much smaller rocks.
“Um Princess Twilight?” Twilight’s concentration was broken when someone called out to her. She looked and found that many ponies had gathered closer to the castle and were also watching the scene of three very different looking ponies,a gorilla, and a robot taking out a large group of rock monsters. “Who-Who are they?” a mare asked with trepidation and curiosity. Twilight looked back to Celestia who smiled back at her and nodded.
With permission Twilight stepped forward and spoke to the slowly growing crowd. “Ponies of Ponyville. You have nothing to be afraid of the situation is under control with the help of our new friends and allies the-” Twilight paused realizing she didn’t exactly know how to phrase her next words. Did she risk telling the people these were beings from another world, one more advanced than they were. What would she even call their group. She remembered them saying something about an organization, but.
“Psst, Twilight,” Twilight jumped a bit as Tracer had quickly flashed back over to her side without her knowing. She held a piece of paper in her hooves and quickly pushed it into Twilight’s. “That should help you out,” Tracer said with a wink before with a flash she was back with her team fighting rock monsters.
Twilight looked at the card Tracer had just handed her looking at the one word that covered both faces of it. She turned back to the people smiling as she tucked it under her wing. “They...are the agents of Overwatch,” Twilight proclaimed loud enough for everyone to hear before turning back to see the last of the rock monsters being taken care of.
____________________________________________________________________________
Hanzo stared out into the forest he was stuck in. From his perch up in a tree he couldn’t see much since the forest was so dense. He sighed frustrated at his predicament. He was stuck in an unknown world, in a different body, with people he did not care to be around for long periods of time. Even though he tried his best to stay out of underworld affairs back on his world he still liked to be prepared and kept his ear to the ground. He had heard many stories about The two known as Roadhog and Junkrat, seen as sort of heroes among their kind in their home country but to general people most of their actions were nothing but wanton distraction and looting. Their actions however were nothing to the fearsome Widowmaker though, the stories were something that could be seen in the many victims that she left in her wake. It was not as if he was a stranger to taking a life but from what he could decipher she did not do it for any reasoning other than the thrill. The last one he was with though, the one known as Reaper was a mystery though. As best he could put together, he was some kind of science experiment that either went wrong or right. But whatever happened it resulted in a dangerous being.
“Another trial I must undertake,” Hanzo told himself as he sat awake on his turn to watch. Part of him wondered if this was just how fate was meant to be or if karma was just now deciding to punish him for actions he had taken earlier on in life. Even though he knew that his brother Genji was still “alive” he wrestled with his conscience on a daily basis. He reason that the only reason that he was now stuck in his current predicament was that he had tried to once again come face to face with his brother to settle their differences the only way the two brothers knew how, by fighting.
“Hanzo,” Hanzo’s train of thought was broken when Reaper suddenly called up to him. Hanzo looked down to reaper who silently nodded in the general direction of several bushes. Hanzo had noted the presence of something had taken up residence in the bushes minutes ago and silently nodded to Reaper. He had paused to think that it might be an animal but several had already wandered into the little camp and immediately scampered off once they saw the dismembered remains of the weird wood wolf they had used to make a fire. Hanzo drew an arrow and knocked it as silently as possible, Reaper slowly moved back towards the fir as a feint for anyone who was watching. With precise skill Hanzo drew back the arrow and launched it just behind the bush. Upon impact the arrows scattered and several shot back into the bush. There was a startled scream as the bush rattled before something decided to jump out. Reaper shot forward and struck the creature before pinning him to the ground. Hanzo jumped down from his perch as the other three member of the camp woke due to the shrill screams from the creature.
“What in the bloody heck is that thing!?!” Junkrat said as he got a look at the thing pinned under Reaper’s hooves. It looked like a cross between a horse and an insect. Black plates lined it’s entire body which concealed translucent wings and on it’s forehead was a horn.
“Whatever it is it’s seriously loud,” Widowmaker remarked wishing to just kill it and be done with it.
“It not panic,” Roadhog spoke up getting everyone’s attention.
“What?” Reaper asked pushing down a little harder on the creature.
“It not panic. It calling for help,” Roadhog responded as it looked down at the screaming squirming creature. Suddenly more screams like the one the creature were making could be heard from within the forest. Flashes of green fire came from all around and within seconds the five were surrounded by more of the creatures. The five drew their weapons in defense and Reaper pushed down on the pinned creature a little harder.
“Well this certainly does not bode well,” Hanzo sighed, he was not one for fighting many opponents when they all knew he was there.
“No I don’t think it does for you,” A new voice responded and caught the attention of the five as a few of the creatures surrounding them. The one that spoke resembled the creatures but she was taller, her horn was bigger and more jagged, and she seemed smarter than the rest of them. “My my, you five are definitely interesting,”
“And so are you, finally something that speaks. We’re going to need some information from you,” Junkrat said.
“Oh really, do you think that you're in a position to be demanding anything from me? Queen Chrysalis? Queen of the Changelings?” the large Changeling boasted.
“Well queenie...let’s just say that just like us. You have no idea what you're dealing with,” Junkrat smiled as he raised his grenade launcher with a gleefully mad smile on his face.
dude awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm pretty sher that flutter shy and sir domom robot are going to get a long nicely
I do believe that should be Winston
Equestria's golden age has been shattered.
Cool! More chapters! n.n so far this story is awesome, hope to read more un the future. And about Hanzo, or everyone, I don't know if you can say they are bad or good, they are just people ... Animals .... Robots....Dwarf .... Fuck it. They are just characters that, maybe, for some people their actions are bad but for others are good. So, let's not get philosophical about good and evil
Answer: good and evil don't existand just enjoy this awesome story n.n7271351 happy?
7283246 hey get away from my already written down idea pad
7308017 it funny but a stupid kinda expected joke
7308063 hopefully the 4th chapter cleared things up
7308067 some people just have problems
7308078 you'll find a way
7308310 neighponese
7308323 suspension of disbelief my friend
7314860 heh
7314873 eh it's mostly plot stuff for jokes and set ups for cuteness
7315830 are you a future seer? when do i become the most popular fimfic author?
7315908 .....GOD FUCKIGN DAMMIT!!!
7315923 until a mei bodies you so hard
7315944 well are you offering. MOst of my guys are to busy with other stuff to be reliable when i want to push a chapter out quickly. Also for some reason Gogle docs does not have the function like Word does where it autocorrects single i's to I's, andi don't know how to fix it or if ti can be fixed or jerry rigged. Mostly for this whole story i've been going solo seeing how far i can get by myself. apparently i've been doing a bit better than when i first started out
if you wanna help just message me
7316322 are you offering help? i could use new team additions
7316435 it could be...don't know if i'll take it there but it's an idea
7316925 heh generic...i did have an idea for a doom(2016) crossover...maybe
7317069 ...that deep....or way to vague....
I can't wait until the new chapter comes out, but I'm a bit disappointed about only 5 guys on both sides, because we all know overwatch is a 6v6 battle game. But overall the story is good (note: this comment is posted on an early version of this overwatch fic, I will comeback to delete this comment if 1 hero shows up on both sides)
7324097 i forgot it was 6v6 i thought when wirting the first chapter it was 5v5
7323499 :v it wasn't deep, it was more of .... Dumb philosophy or Drunk philosophy moment.
7324131 Maybe you can blame sone ultimate in both teams malfunctioning or something. Hmm, Zarya's blackmore mixed with Mercy's res.
7324131 now I'm imagining both team's sixth member staring at each other.wondering. "What hell just happened?"
>> HAZESHIFT oh well let's just say the last two heroes is stuck in a bar or something
It's a perfect day for SOME MAYHEM!!!
Umm... Correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm not) but doesn't bastion have an assault rifle, and WINSTON have the tesla cannon?
And Reinhardt had the jets designed for charging, not bastion. Where did these mistakes come from?
7329914 well the first one was just a casual mistake... the second though i don't believe it's a mistake its just i guess it reads differently to me tha you?
7330521 oh wait, I see how I read the second one wrong... Though regardless: Reinhardt's jets don't have covers and he only had one jet on the back for charging.
7331057 it's just a little thing i added mostly for flair
7331488 I'll admit: I kinda do like it, although in some ways, it would've been cooler if you said that "the already burning jet on his back flared with more flame as he charged forward" or something like that
Such an awesome story! Can't wait for the next update!!!
7324131 please let the 6th hero be Torbjörn
Can't wait for the next chapter
Typos aside, I'm enjoying this.
more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7331488 more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I re-read this, and i noticed another casual mistake:
the blur is blue, not orange
Also, when Reinhardt blocked the boulder, you forgot to add a quote at the end of when he was talking.
Oh, also noticed that you fixed the mistake with bastion.
7436385 i can see what you mean by that seeing as her teleport is blue .... but i have her as orange..... huh tyhat generally something to think about
7436393 also, I looked back to chapter one to see something, and yes, you did use blue before.
Oh, and just a quick question, are you planning to add 6th team members?
7436570 huh i guess i did
well the 6th member is something i keep thinking about...it's a maybe or maybe not/ i got a somewhat better idea in mind kind of thing. maybe i'll add an overwatch character maybe it'll be a pony who fills the slot.. the proble m with adding a 6th is i wanted to balance good and evil and i don't think i have enough "evil" characters
7436625 well both teams need a support, and I'd think it would be interesting to see Ana as the good side's support, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that the upcoming "hero" Sombra is going to be support, and we know that she has some affiliation with reaper because of his voice line "where's Sombra when you need her?" So I think that could work.
7451550 ok let me address all this..
well thanks for the comment first of all i appreciate it. yeah the i's are always a thing. for some reason google docs doesn't have a function like ms word where it auto correct's singular i's. I'm trying to pay more attention to it and fix them but some just slip through the cracks unfortunately. as for the period in dialogue this is where a bit of a battle is cause there are people that say what you're saying then there are other people saying you should use a comma to end dialogue. there's just a bunch of different rules i'm still working on so it stays for the moment until one side wins. you're probably right with the last part though but that's just how i write, to me it all seemed connected but i can see where you are coming from
...although usually i ask if people have criticism then they offer to edit for me but i'll let you have this one
7451550 thought let it be said that i'm willing to take this all into account and learn form it
Well that rocked my day into a better light. I do hope to see Hanzo team with his bro, and maybe Roadhog and Junkrat as well. Reaper, and Windowmaker I don't trust at all. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
