"This armor doesn't do jack to keep me protected!" Fareeha Amari lamented as the doctor Angela Ziegler chuckled and healed her numerous wounds using her Caduceus staff.
"Are you ready for… you know?"
"I abhor it, Fareeha. But I am."
"Just think, Angela, if we take this place, it will be under Overwatch's protection, peace and prosperity will return again, and the world will be safe. But first, we must fight."
"I know all that, but… I just wish there was a way without this senselessness. But the world doesn't work that way." She sighed sadly.
"Hey…" Pharah put her hand on Mercy's shoulder, who met her eyes. "I want that, too. But it's not happening right now, and we-"
A gunshot rang out accompanied by a loud grunt of pain. They turned to see Soldier: 76 writhing on the ground.
"Jack!"
Mercy flew over to him and released her biotics.
"Heroes never die!"
He jumped back to his feet, along with a couple other fallen heroes, like Winston and Tracer.
When Mercy returned, her face was full of anger.
"Are you ready?"
"Let's do it." She said with a snarl.
Pharah took to the skies, followed closely by Mercy. Pharah took a moment to survey her surroundings. Even in the dark of night, Lijiang Tower stood, visible for miles. The bright lights and advanced technology around them was astonishing and an example to the rest of the world. Futuristic skyscrapers towered over bustling marketplaces and a tourist trap unlike any other. Unfortunately, Overwatch was not there to see the sights. Reports said Reaper, Widowmaker, and a large amount of Talon troops had recently come into the area, fighting to control the tower and from it establish a network to overthrow the newly returned Overwatch. Overwatch's agents had caught them in the tower garden, before they could claim it, leading to an intense battle. Overwatch knew that Reaper and his goons had to be stopped and that's what they were here for.
Pharah knew that what she was about to do would make her vulnerable to fire, so first, she had to find the one who had shot Soldier: 76.
"There!" As Pharah found the infamous sniper, Widowmaker, a bullet hit Pharah in the shoulder.
"Agghhh!"
Pharah quickly felt the healing tendrils of Mercy's staff.
"No, boost me!"
"What!? But you're-"
"Boost!"
Mercy flipped a switch on her staff, causing a blue tether to reach to Pharah.
Another bullet found it's mark, this time in her abdomen.
"Fareeha!"
"Just… have to… aim!"
Pharah lined up her shot and fired 3 rockets, each on target. Widowmaker shot down all 3, one close enough to burn her, causing her to be so distracted that she did not see the concussive blast heading for her feet. Before she knew it, she was falling to the Earth hundreds of feet below. Her grappling hook could not return her, but could save her life so she could fight another day. She hooked a nearby building and began the long journey back to the gardens.
"Sniper-" Pharah groaned in pain. "- eliminated."
"Can I heal you now!?"
"Oh, please do."
