Chapter 2: We’re a team...for better or worse

He remembered fighting. He remembered the bullets, the explosions, the screaming battle cries, the energy manipulations and everything else. It was normal now to him, he had been doing it for awhile and his veteran sense had made him adjusted to it. What he wasn’t adjusted to though was then in the middle of a scuffle something he could only describe a some kind of portal opened up in between everyone. And with no time to stop and change direction everyone collided with the portal getting sucked into as they unleashed their attacks.

He couldn’t remember much after that, just a swirling vortex of color and sound. He had been through something like this with Symmetra’s teleporter before but traveling through that was always instantaneous. This was more akin to traveling a long distance. He had no clue how long it lasted but before he could see the end and where his destination was his consciousness faded...he just hoped that when he woke up he would be close to his lightning gun if the situation was that he needed it.

____________________________________________________________________________

Winston opened his eyes slightly as he slowly regained consciousness. Unfortunately all he could see was smoke, although he did notice the shadow of his lightning gun only a foot from him, so far in his book this was a good situation. He lifted his head slightly trying to see how high the smoke went. He didn’t have to move much before his eyes cleared the smoke. What he saw reminded him of things he only saw in book his father gave him when he was an infant, and before he need spectacles for reading. Everything was bright and pastel colored, even for how dark the room actually was.

“Ok so what am I supposed to be looking...at?” A familiar voice got his attention. Winston looked over to where he had heard Tracer’s voice and made a startling discovery. He saw small horse like creatures, except they were much different from any other kind of equine he had ever seen. They were varied in color and what appeared to be species as well seeing as how some appeared to have functional wings and horns. To the right of them he noticed what looked like an ordinary mirror but something told him that there was something strange about since he could see some kind of machinery hooked up to it in various ways. Right next to it he saw one of the purple horse thing that was like a few of the others that had both wings and a horn but his attention was soon ripped from it as he took a particular notice of the horse thing that was standing next to it. It took him no time to recognize the clothes, goggles, hairstyles, and chronal accelerator Tracer always wore. He had little time to think about why she now resembled the weird horse things he assumed had somehow opened the portal on his world, because he watched as her eyes went wide in shock as she stared in the mirror, quickly checking out her new form before turning around to the group behind her. “Well that’s interesting I’ll say. Looks like I’m the cavalry now,” he watched as she chuckled before she fainted. It wasn’t something he totally expected from Tracer but it was something that could happen. As the group got closer to check on her he decided that now was probably as good a time as any to make first contact...well...a better attempt at it anyway.

“She’s funny I like her,” Pinkie said as she hopped closer to get a better look.

“Funny looking is more like it, Applejack said putting her hat back on, her hoof tired of fanning away the smoke.

“Now now dear, i might say she looked quite nice...in whatever she is wearing. you don’t suppose she’d bee willing to share would she?”Each mare took one more step before a rose colored wall of magic stopped them.

“OK ok everypony just take a step back,” Shining put himself between Tracer and everyone else. “First of let’s give her some room to breathe and not crowd around her. And second let’s not assume that just because of that happy friendly intro that this is someone or thing is a good guy...or gal,” he said taking a look back remembering that Tracer was a mare.

“Shining Armor I think that’s-”

“A tactical and wise decision from someone who’s been in the military and does not have all the information he might need,” everyone jumped and turned as they watched a large figure rise out of the smoke. “Although you are right to question him, Tracer’s couldn’t be a bad person, there's not a bad bone in her body...though at times she can be annoying,” Everyone stared as a large armored gorilla stood, and stretched while talking to them. “I’m sorry it’s very impolite of me to address you without talking to myself. My name is Winston and-”

“you’re a talking Gorilla-” Unbeknownst to both parties, Fluttershy had been totally enthralled at the sight of Winston. She had never had a chance to see a Gorilla before and the fact that he could talk made him all the more interesting.

“Well um...yes I am,” Winston recovered quickly from being interrupted. “Although I am perplexed by your species, you resemble horse but i’ve never seen a form like this,” he noted to all of them trying his hardest to not stare into the wide adoring eyes currently staring up at him.

“We are ponies, Mr. winston. And I am Princess Celestia and this is my sister Princess Luna,” Celestia and Luna walked forward to which Winston gave a slight bow as he remembered you should do when meeting royalty. “I want to be the first to apologize, this must be a new experience for you,”

“Well the whole meeting another one or group of talking animals yes, that is new. The teleportation...kind of. I have done something like it before although not to this kind of effect...with this much damage..which might be partially to blame on me and my comrades,”

“Yes...well I can say that is most likely partially our fault as well for bringing you here so suddenly. My student Twilight sparkle wasn’t exactly expecting this kind of reaction to her experiment,” Celestia apologized as she motioned for Twilight to step forward.

“I’m guessing it would have something to do with that mirror over there?” He asked looking over to the mirror then to Twilight who nodded weakly. “Well as much as the scientist in me would love to discuss it right now I think our biggest priority right now should get taking care of Tracer and also finding my other teammates and hoping their reaction isn’t as...dramatic.

“Yes helping Tracer should be...wait...did you say other team-”

“ACH MEIN GOTT! CAN’T A MAN WHO TOOK A HUGE BLOW GET A LITTLE TIME TO REST! MY HONOR WILL NOT STAND THE ABUSE!” everyone including the princesses this time jumped as a loud brash voice shook the room. Everyone watched wide eyed as in another corner of the room a large silver figure, larger than Winston, rose from the smoke. A seemingly impossible large suit of pony armor cleared the miss, a beam of yellow in the helmet showing its vision scanned the room. “Uhhhh….” the voice came out as it took in it’s surroundings before it saw and locked onto Winston. “Ah Winston there you are….what’s going on?” It ask as it moved towards the gorilla, every step making a metal clang.

“Ah Reinhardt good of you to join us. You remember that portal right? Well apparently we’ve been involved in some inter dimensional travel,” he said oblivious to the shock most of the other occupants were in in seeing a suit of armor and possibly a being inside of it that dwarfed Princess Celestia.

“And wherever we are happens to be a world filled with….small cute color horses?” Reinhardt said casting a look back noticing the differences between some of them before focusing back on Winston.

“Well they call themselves ponies as I’ve learned from their leaders, the princesses,” Winston motioned to the princesses with a wave and almost immediately Reinhardt’s head snapped to the four Alicorns, all of whom jumped slightly at the swiftness. The room was quiet as no one spoke as Reinhardt stared down the princesses while no one was able to tell what was going on inside the mind of whomever was in the armor. As suddenly as he had locked onto the princesses Reinhardt glanced around the room taking in the scene, noting that it looked like an explosion had gone off. he came his own conclusion that his team had probably caused the damage in the midst of their “trip” here. He had caused damage to a royal household. He had besmirched his honor by doing more than scuffing a royal floor.

“MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES YOUR MAJESTIES!!!” With speed that Tracer would say was impressive Reinhardt bowed and groveled before the four princesses, prostrating himself with his helmet touching the floor and his forehooves pressed together reaching to the sky in penetance. “My team and I have besmirched the honor of your household by damaging you fine castle. On my honor as a knight i swear to submit myself to any punishment you set fit for this dishonorable transgression!” his words rang even with his face to the ground. Except for Luna each princess stared in shock of the display. Even though they had ripped him from his world and had basically been the cause of him damaging Twilight’s castle he was still ready and waiting to accept punishment for it.

“Oh I rather like this one. Sir Winston? would you care to explain your friend here?” Luna asked as she inspected what she could of the large armored giant.

“Well um...yes. Reinhardt is a chivalrous man who took it upon himself to always live by a knight's code way back when,” Winston explained intriguing the princess.

“Ah so your world has knight, kings, queens, and princesses as well?”

“Well at one point in history yes. but now….not in so many ways,” Winston answered earning a nod from Princess Luna.

“Hey what this weird looking statue thing over here?” Rainbow Dash called from across the room before Winston or Luna had a chance to say anything else. both Winston and Reinhardt turned to find the her sitting upon a friend of their who power was offline for the moment.

“Ah Bastion there you are, I think it’s time to rise and shine!” Winston called out, earning a confused glare Rainbow Dash as she wondered why would a super smart looking Gorilla talk to a statue like that. That was until it began to move beneath her. Rainbow looked down over the edge of where she was sitting to come face to face plate with a singular rectangular blue light. Rainbow had never met a robot before but there was just something about staring into that light that Rainbow could tell that it was looking back.

“Uh hi?” Rainbow said before Bastion nodded forward, unbalancing her and forcing her to hover again this time face to face. Rainbow just stared with a blank face as Bastion just stood still, except for the shaking of his normal running state. She flinched slightly when he finally moved raising his left hand putting it above her head.She didn’t move not knowing what Bastion was going to do before he lowered his hand gently patting her head a couple time.

“OH you don’t really have to worry about him. Bastion usually lives in isolation but he’s a huge animal lover especially for a robot,” Winston chuckled as he noticed the blush on Rainbows face.

“Wowie a robot! Never seen one of those before!” Pinkie pie zoomed around Bastion hangin around and on him in various poses and positions before stopping by his right arm. “That’s a funny looking right arm. Oh look a button!”Pinkie said as she reached out to push the button on his arm. Bastion reacted immediately as he felt his attached weapon fire up. He stopped petting Rainbow Dash and his hand shot down to grab Pinkie Pie and move her out of the way as he raised his right arm up and out of the way of anyone in the room.Repeated loud bangs filled the room as bullets flew, pieces of crystal breaking of as Bullets impacted the walls and pages flying from books as they were torn to shreds. Everyone except for Reinhardt hit the deck as he brought a foreleg up and a large blue shield expanded across him and covered all the ponies that were behind him. After a few seconds of fire Bastion got it under control and looked around the room in a panic before he put his hand behind his head and stared at the floor in embarrassment.

Meanwhile no one was looking at Bastion but more at Pinkie Pie. And after taking a look around at the damage her curiosity had caused she felt the anger from her friend’s stares. “...Oopsie” was all she was able to say while smiling that innocent smile of hers.

“Huh? What? Gunfire? Who’s there!?” Tracer bolted upright in a sleepy daze after everything was over. She shook of the tiredness and looked around the room noticing three of her companions. “Winston! You’re alright!” Tacer jumped up and blinked forward while glomping onto the Gorilla her small form not encumbering him much.

“Good to see you’re up at em’ Tracer,” he said picking her off him and setting her on the ground.

“Oh Reinhardt looks like you're a horsey too...but not as little as far as I can tell,” She said walking around the tall suit of armor.

“The term is pony, as we learned while you were busy taking a nap Tracer,” Reinhardt said looking down and his even more miniature friend.

“Yeah yeah. whatever you say you big tin can,” she said poking him on the foreleg. “So looks like we’re all up and run- wait a minute...me, Winston, Reinhardt, Bastion...we’re forgetting someone. Have either of you seen-”

“EEP” Tracer was interrupted when Fluttershy suddenly squealed drawing everyone’s attention. Fluttershy one again unbeknownst to all had moved away from the group when she noticed something a few feet from where Bastion was. walking over she noticed a pony slightly bigger than tracer and armored like Reinhardt. Mustering up her courage and gently poked it hoping to rouse his slumber. he looked similar to Reinhardt but whatever he was wearing was much smaller and sleeker. Looking from its helmet down to his body she didn’t notice the black part of the visor light up in a brilliant light green.

before she had a chance to notice and move away it sprung up on his two hind legs and grabbed her. Spinning her around to face her towards the others before his foreleg wrapped around her neck securing her in place.

Rainbow immediately saw this as an act of aggression. “Hey buddy what’s the big idea?” she took one step forward only to be stop when the ponies free arm flung out and threw something. a ninja star impacting the ground only a few centimeters from where Rainbow Dash’s forward hoof was. “Hey !” She immediately jumped back checking her hoof just in case. As she landed Tracer walked up beside her, her smile never leaving her face.

“Oh there you are Genji!” She said waving which led everyone beside Bastion, Winston, and Reinhardt to do a double take between the two of them.

“Wait a minute you this guy?” rainbow Dash looked incredulously at Tracer before scowling at Genji.

Genji meanwhile took in his surroundings from behind his captive noticing Bastion and Winston. But his head titled to the right when he noticed the weird horse like creatures that looked like Reinhardt and Tracer, the last one specifically waving at him like Tracer always did.

“Nani? Tracer? Reinhardt?” Genji spoke in his native tongue, the last moments before he awoke might have rattled some of his parts a bit to much.

Meanwhile, Elsewhere…

To say he lost consciousness would be a bit of a stretch of the truth. He didn’t really have anything he could call a consciousness anymore. The experiments made sure of that. Instead of saying he lost consciousness he could just say that he was at rest while awake, not moving, not thinking, just staring into space while everything went on around him uninterrupted. He got up only to find his body different than how he had remembered before the weird explosion. Last he fully remembered he was trying to kill some of those pesky and in the way “heroes” with some other and then a hole opened out of nowhere sucking them all in and causing their unleashed energies to exploded. Looking around he noticed that he was in some kind of forest, a canopy of trees above him. He looked to his arms and hands only to find that they didn’t exactly exist as he once knew. He would not panic though it wasn’t the first time he had been “changed” against his will. And just like last time he would find the ones responsible and make them remember the name he was given. Reaper.

“So you’re finally ‘awake’” his vision snapped upwards at a voice he knew well, the only other ‘professional’ he considered giving his ’trust’.

“Widowmaker…” he said finding the assassin sitting in a tree, her form similar to his. “What...has happened to us…?” the words came slowly as usual, his speech was the biggest thing affected by his change.

“I don’t know I have as much information as you do right now. Although i can say we look like a little girl's representation of a pony or something like that” she told him hopping down from her branch, her weapon shifting slightly upon landing.

“Everyone else…?”

“Unknown at this moment but i think the should be-” both of their gazes snapped to a bush a few feet away as it shook slightly before two objects jumped out surprising the two killers. they were wolves but instead of flesh and blood there was wood. Reaper and Widowmaker paused at the novelty of it before both drew their weapons and aimed at the creatures. The two Timberwolves stared at the creatures in front of them, they could sense nothing but danger coming from them, and also unfortunately they could also sense it behind them.

“Fire in the hole!” A voice shouted from a distance and before Reaper and Widowmaker could do anything a tire jumped from behind one of the bushes and crashed into one of the timberwolves, exploding on contact. The second wolf jumped sideways to avoid the explosion but as it landed a hook shot out of a bush, breaking into the middle section before a force suddenly yanked on the chain attached to the hook pulling the timberwolf through the bush before a loud bang was heard. Wooden pieces flying over the bush landing next to the pieces of it exploded brethren.

“Well that didn’t take long,” Widowmaker remarked as two new ponies walked into the little clearing they were in. One looked like he was perpetually caught on the fringes of explosions, his hair and face blackened with smoke, soot, and gunpowder. He was also missing one of his legs, a pegleg in the place where one of his back legs should be. THe other was much larger than him, in size and girth, the most notable thing about him was his mask, which was a cross between a pig and a gas mask.

“Junkrat, Roadhog...so you two survived,” Reaper stated as the two small groups got closer, neither noticing that all the small pieces of wood had slowly started to move.

“Eh I’ve been through way worse explosions than that...though it was nice. Might have cracked my top 10. What do you think hog?” the smaller one looked upward and received a small shrug. The wolves were pulling themselves together, their attackers and possible would be attacker unsuspecting. “So any idea where in the blazes we are?”

“Most likely another dimension on another world. One that has...different tastes,” Widowmaker said as everyone got a good look at their new forms.

Before anyone could say another thing the timberwolves howled and jumped at them and for a brief second they believed they had one. The four ponies were quick to draw their weapons on time but in a split second the wolves were airborne attacking them and in the next a small “Thwang” was heard and the wolves were suddenly pinned to a tree, not shattered but still stuck and helpless.

“Sloppy, undeniably sloppy,” The four looked up to find their last missing team partner. He stood on his hind legs while on of his forelegs held a bow and a bandana that held his hair back blew in the slight breeze. “Just because there is an explosion doesn’t mean the target has been killed, you should be more careful Junkrat. One of us may not always be around to save your skinny hide,” the pony hopped down from the tree his landing silent.

“Well sorry Hanzo. but we all can’t be raised to be the perfect assassin,” Junkrat rolled his eyes at the bow wielder. “But hey at least we got firewood!” he said turning to the Timberwolves pinned to the tree. Both on whimpering as the five ponies slowly closed in on them.

Author's Notes:

THE TEAMS ARE REVEALED

good guys: Tracer, Winston, Reinhardt, Bastion, and Genji
bad guys: Reaper, Widowmaker, Junkrat, Roadhog, and Hanzo

for the good guys, Tracer and Winston were a must while I liked the idea of Reinhardt being a larger than everything else pony. And BAstion just seemed like a nice fit due to all the animals. And for Genji...well i just like him cause he looks bad ass

The bad guys on the other hand...i do like them but so far there are only really five of them, so yeah... Not saying they aren't impressive and cool at points but my hands were a bit tied with that comp

man it's been awhile since i put out a second/followup chapter this quick.....but i felt really invigorated to continue after seeing the positive results from the first...thank you all so much for that

but i'll probably say it will be awhile before i post a third...got some other things to take care of at the moment. Like other fics, school...fallout 4....and the like...maybe during the thanksgiving break i'll have something for something up...so why don't y'all keep an...Overwatch...on all my fic, huh?
