Crystalline Universe: Team Fortress 2/ Overwatch

- (Who I'm I to lie to myself like this, ..., this kid, ..., he's invincible against my attacks.)

Thought Sniper to himself.

While locking their eyes, Sniper was in a state of total panic, he knows Mike's power surpasses his own in the thousands of times. On the other side, Mike fixed at Sniper with anger and hatred. The only thing on in mind was how much he has to make Sniper suffer in order to pay back the atrocities the man of the devil committed in the past. Nothing really matters anymore, there is no more talk, no more reasoning. This is a duel, only the last man standing will be able to speak the truth about this battle in the blindness of the dust and be the one to escape fate.

Mike suddenly, breaking the ice, launched himself toward Sniper. With the help of his left arm, the young man delivered a heavy blow against him. Dodging to the side, Sniper thought that he was safe from the horrible consequences but he was no match against Mike in every category, even speed. As dodging to the side only allowed Mike to barrage him of fists from his right arm. The multiple shots of energy sent Sniper flying toward the ceiling, completely destroying the top of the mountain. The view has become clear once again as all the dust has flown with Sniper to the sky. Sniper barely survived the attack with now blood spitting from every opening and broken area on his armour. With his armour, now littered with crater from the ordeal, Sniper still managed to regain his stability and stood ready for another fight. Mike looked at the Sniper from below, where he hasn't moved even a bit since and proceeded to speak:

- Do you know now, how did innocents you killed felt when they are at the mercy of your power when a single snap of the finger could end their life? Do you feel powerless? Do you feel betrayed? do you feel despair? Just to let you know, Sniper, this is only 0.05 out of 510 million of my total power.

Sniper remained speechless, he knows that in his condition, getting angry will only waste his stamina, he needs all the energy he has left as he can only feel cold even though sweats felt like rain from his forehead.

Mike did not let Sniper escape from his eyesight. As Sniper slowly makes his descent, the young man was ready for more. Seeing the white snow around him, Sniper, using a sudden movement of his arms, manipulated the thick snow to form a large disc in front of himself. Losing sight of the Sniper, Mike used both of his arms to deliver another set of barrages of fists at the snow disc. The Sniper was no longer there, he moved away when Mike lost sight of him. Mike turned his head searching for Sniper but he was nowhere to be found. In the meantime, metallic spike formed from the ground of metal plating, Mike realizing his position, still remained where he was. The spikes launched themselves toward Mike's direction, the young man, totally unconcerned, forced the projectiles to reform themselves into metal plating who was all replaced back in the ground. A small piece of the metallic wall proceeded to forme itself into a tiny needle. Concentrating all his energy onto the piece, Sniper sent the needle flying toward Mike's back at high speed. The young man, totally not concerned by the object after realizing its presence, used two of his finger to catch the speeding needle mid-air. Objects of all kind suddenly flew toward his direction from all his sides. As the speeding objects flew toward him, in a single instant, all turned into dust before making contact with his armour. Mike, annoyed by the puny attacks launched toward him, yelled in a murderous voice:

- If it's your fate you are trying to alter by trying to kill me with those tricks, ..., then welcome to reality.

In a single gesture of hand movement, all of Mike's surrounding broke into massive cubes distancing one from the others, revealing Sniper's hideout between the separated wall. With nowhere to run, Sniper said in anger:

- You little shi...

Before Sniper could finish his sentence, Mike launched himself toward him in high-speed sending a punch toward his abdomen. A shockwave sent Sniper flying, blood spitting furiously from his helmet respirator. Regaining his balance in the spent of a half-a-second, Sniper flew right back at Mike throwing his turn, a punch at the young man in which Mike backed from the shock. In exchange, Mike flew right back at Sniper both of them throwing hits at each other. Sniper, seeing an opening, managed to land a hit on Mike's helmet to which Mike was unprepared, causing him to lose balance. Sniper profited of the occasion to send the maximum of punches at Mike's head to which Mike took the full damage. Regaining his consciousness, Mike angerly grabbed Sniper by the neck and proceed to go down at full speed crushing Sniper to the ground at full force then to drag him through a few hundred metres inside the destroyed stadium's floor at full speed while forcing Sniper's body to scrub the full distance against the ground. Throwing a final punch, Sniper was sent to fly and to scrub once more against the ground before finally crashing down a wall. There was no more response, there was only silence. Sniper did not get up, he stayed buried inside the rubble of metal and concrete.

In the sound of an explosion, the buried door of the destroyed stadium busted open as executioners and CR-455 entered the place.

- No! No! No! My lord! Quickly! Get him outta this mess!

screamed CR-455 at his men.

As the executioners and some reinforcements arrived and dug Sniper out of his grave, they realized that Sniper was still alive and conscious. His armour was completely broken with small pieces of it still stuck to his body bathing in his own blood. He was still able to somehow speak. Looking at Mike, the injured man sat with the help of CR-455. Mike advanced toward Sniper. Seeing his approach, the executioners and soldiers pointed their weapon at the young man.

- PUT YOUR GUN DOWN, STEP ASIDE AND MAKE SURE TO DEACTIVATE YOUR HEARING!

Yelled the Sniper in pain.

Hearing the Sniper's order, the soldiers left the area while executioners deactivated their hearing via their helmet.

- Are you gonna finish me off or what?

Said the Sniper with agony

Mike got down to his knees and opened his mouth:

- I will!

With that said, Mike looked at the man that he still remembers, who was his uncle. He was unable to move, he wasn't even able even keep his rage going. He can only remember that he was a father to him. Mike stayed in front of Sniper speechless and unable to react or make a move. How have things come this far, how have things resorted to this? Mike kept looking at Sniper, tear slowly coming down from his eyes.

Whispered Mike in tear.

- You chose so, didn't you? (Kof, Kof) didn't you?

Said Sniper in response.

- And you chose to kill them! A man like you, with the mouth of politician and the charm of a gentleman, chose to kill as an option to convince me of a dream of a better world. I loved you as a father, respected you as a mentor and you, in the end, made me believe I been avenging my family by fighting a group of people you considered your enemy. You are truly a snake, a liar!

- Come on! Do it already! I don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g care about what shit you been through! I only cared about a fair world in which people live equally. How I do it doesn't matter! You put your personal shit in front of others' future, I raised you for the people not for you! You don't like it that way? Suck it, son of a pig! (Kof, aah arg, spits blood)

Screamed the Sniper with pain and agony.

Mike got up and started floating in the air.

- I won't kill anymore, Sniper, I hope you to live a rotten life of failure.

Said Mike in a calm voice.

- You are a shame! You are a disgrace to the world and to the Mundy family blood! Don't you ever dare to cross my path again or I promise you'll suffer pain without end!

Mike responded in a calm voice:

- I may not a fan of your killer association but I will never be another of our family's corruption.

Ending his phrase, Mike flew to meet the doctor on the ramp.

- Are you hurt, Mike?

Said carefully the doctor.

- I'm a bit hurt on the head but I should be fine. Let's go, Delfy, I did what I had to do.

Answered Mike.

- Let me take a look.

Taking the helmet off Mike's head, no apparent damage can be seen other than a huge nosebleed in which, the blood already covered his mouth and neck. Blood also came out of the helmet itself.

- Did you get hit by the head?

Said the doctor in a worry.

- No! No! It's fine, I'm totally fine! Let's get going.

Said Mike in reply.

- Here's some tissues, young man.

Said the doctor while giving Mike some pieces of tissues.

Taking the tissues, Mike had only a moment before seen a drop of blood falling from up top to his hand before a huge shock smashed his head. Using his power in time, he only took partial damage before being propelled against a wall creating a crater in which he remained stuck.

Regaining consciousness, Mike can only feel his inner world shatter as the first thing he sees is the Delfy impaled though heart by the Sniper's bloody hand. Mike felt nothing anymore, no more pain, no more thought and no more emotion. Nothing really matters, everyone is dead, Mike has lost the last person who he considered family. As anger, hate and rage filled his head, he's losing it. This cruel world took everything from him. It's over, Mike lost, MIKE IS NO MORE.

A brute force shock his arm, the rest of his body proceeded to fall out of the crater. Floating in the air, the young man looked more like a corpse than a man. Creeping toward Sniper, the warlord used his power to stay away from the creature. Reaching the ground, Sniper can only watch as an emotionless zombie with the creepiest of the smile he never saw approaches him. The young man's eyes were big open with a psychopathic smile, his body moved like a mentally ill man trying to approach with the d.e.s.i.r.e to mutilate his victim. Sniper finally came to one realization, Mike totally lost it, this man is no longer Mike, he's some... thing totally different. The brain injury, the trauma, the videos, the memories, his feeling, all the deaths, all lead him to this, he can't take it anymore.

- HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA! I WANT to do this! Do you know what is THIS? it's THIS! This BLOOOODY kills... no... murder for the fair world! Do I know what your DAMN Name mister, oooh mister Ethan I want to ask you about this: WHO is this man in delicious red jams (blood).

Said the mad man looking straight at Sniper with his bloodshot eyes.

- Get away from me you freak! Get away!

Screamed Sniper furiously in fear.

Seeing the situation, one of the executioners stood up and ran to attacks the mad man.

Already seen the armoured servant of Sniper coming in his way, the psychopath turned his head to face the charging man. The terrifying look of the mad man scared the brave man coming to Sniper's defence. Taking his weapon, he was ready to fire but he never had the chance. As before he even took proper aim, his whole body was crushed and sent flying in the air. The blood splattered the crazy man and Sniper, who, one remained horrified, the other taking all his joy out of it.

- STAY! GET AWAY!

Yelled the Sniper backing from his current position.

- CR-4...

Before Sniper could finish, everyone came to the realization that Sniper missed half his body all the way down from his neck. Collapsing to the ground the Sniper took his last breath before his eyes slowly became lifeless. It was also over for Sniper, no one survived, the place was a total hell with blood and parts of corpses littered everywhere.

Inside the ship, the prisoner who escaped under Mike's direct earlier stood up from his chair. Standing alone inside the ship, the man, not realizing what happened for the past few minutes, wandered to the ramp to see his saviour down there. Seeing the situation he shouted:

- Hey! Are you alright?

Turning his head, the mad man looked up to see the prisoner. Strangely the crazy man answered in a calm and normal voice:

- Start the ship!

In a single jump, the man in blood flew inside the ship. Closing the ramp, the ship took off.

Inside the cabin, the man asked the bloody man:

- Are you fine?

The smile and the crazy eyes were no more, his face shows a depressive and beaten down man.

- I'm fine. thank you.

Answered the man depressively

- What's your name, sunny? Mine is McCree.

Said the man.

- My name...

Thinking for a moment, he thought to himself:

- (Who I'm I? Wait what I'm doing here? What's going on?)

Thinking for a few seconds, he answered:

- UH... wait... yeah! My name is Mcarthur.

- Nice to meet you, partner! Thanks for earlier by the way.

Said Mccree in reply.

Mcarthur remained confused, he didn't understand in what situation he's in.

Looking into the distance, CR-455 stood where Sniper was standing before he was killed. Holding his execution staff tight, he angerly swore to the horizon:

- I will get you, you traitor, swearing on my honour of executioner, I, CR-455, will kill you, Mike! This is for Sniper, for my men, for the association, FOR THE GLORY OF US, TALON! There was no moon or stars, only darkness and snow, CR-455 kept standing on the same location for another 2 hours.

That night, CR-455 and his men were the only witnesses to the whole ordeal. Apart from them, there was another witness.
