Doomwatch - Tracer X Reader

Chapter 13 - Preparations

Me and Jack got back to base still will 3 hours until we left for the cultist base. We went into Winston's lab to look at the results of what we got from the mission.

"So what do we have here. UAC data logs bla bla bla, new Talon soldier lists, casualty list, Telos realm doom hunter,"

"Wait, Telos realm doom hunter?"

"That's what it says here. It says that there are 3 modified Aggadon hunters from the Telos realm guarding the priest and his captives."

"Shit. I drove them to extinction centuries ago, there's no way that's true."

"I believe it is, (y/n)." Vega says. "My scans indicated that there are 3 resurrected and upgraded Aggadon hunters guarding the priest."

"Okay. That is not good, but could still be much worse."

"How could it get worse, (y/n)?"

"He could have a titan protecting him or something like that."

We kept looking through the results, but there was nothing else of any interest, other than a complete layout of the cultist base.

"Well, (y/n), you've still got over 2 ours to do what you need to do."

"Okay. See you then." And with that I left the lab and was about to go back to my room before Vega interrupts me.

"(Y/n), I have successfully fabricated your plasma rifle. It is in the same place as your assault rifle was."

"Okay. Open the portal."

As he opens the portal, I go back into the lab to tell Jack what I'm doing.

"Can I see your base, (y/n)?" Jack asks.

"Sure."

He followed me through the portal and into my base.

"Oh my. I didn't realise that your base was in space." He says looking out the window and down at earth. "So what do you have here?"

"Oh I have everything. Fabricator, super computers, demon training ground and prison, relaxation places and the portal." I walk over to the computer and set the portal location to the cultist base. "We could use this to get to the cultist base."

"Are you sure?" Jack says looking at me questioningly. "I mean, is it as safe and efficient?"

I took a moment to think about that.

"For places on earth like this, probably not, but more dangerous places and off-world sites, probably."

"Ok. For this I think we'll take the ship. It's also already ready."

"Okay."

I showed Jack around the ship, grabbing my new plasma rifle in the process. He looked at my demon prison. So far it was only an imp, a hell knight and a revenant. After we looked around for about 20 minutes, we headed back to the overwatch base.

"So when do you think that portal will be better than a ship?" Jack asked me as we stepped back through to the overwatch base.

"Well if I ever need my crucible, it is in Taras Nabad which is in Argent d'Nur."

"Which I take it is not on earth."

"Yes."

"Anyway. You've got an hour to do whatever you want before we have to go. Use it wisely."

"Okay."

I headed back to my room. I took my suit of, not knowing how long I'd have to wear it for, and turned on the TV to watch the news. Yeah yeah demonic consumption of earth. I was fucking trying to stop it but some bastard named Deag Ranak is stopping me from doing so.

I couldn't put up with the news for long so I eventually went back over to Netflix real quick. I watched 1 episode of the office before I had to go. I put my suit on, grabbed my guns and walked to the assembly point. Jack was already there.

"Are you ready for this?" He asked me in his gravelly voice.

"I am as ready as I could be."

"Good, because we're gonna need everything from everyone."

Over the course of the next 15 minutes the other 8 agents turned up.

"Ah hem." Jack said getting everyone's attention. "This mission is more than just a rescue mission. The person holding Lena and Angela captive is one of the 2 remaining hell priests. If we kill him, there will only be one more before this invasion is over. It will not be easy however. Vega has confirmed the data which me and (y/n) collected from a Talon base earlier, stating the presence of 3 upgraded Aggadon hunters guarding the priest. The strength of these hunters is unknown, but they sure as hell are gonna be hard to take down. If we all stick together and work together, we should be able to take them down. Me and Reinhardt are in charge, but (y/n)'s commands on demons takes superiority. Is everyone ready?"

"Yes sir." They say in unison.

"Good. Then let's get going."

As he said that, everyone started piling onto the ship. Jack went up front and got the ship ready for take off. We all sat down and strapped ourselves in. I was sat on the end next to Reinhardt.

"(Y/n), do you know what these Aggadon hunters are?"

"Yes. They were demons designed to kill me and the Knights Sentinels. We drove them to extinction, or so we thought. Turns out that Deag Ranak was able to resurrect them, so yeah. Not good."

"So you think we'll be able to win this fight?"

"Like Jack said, if you work together, you'll be able to complete it."

"What are you doing?"

"My fight is against Deag Ranak. He wants to fight me, and so I'll give him what he wants; to test out his 'finest creation'.

With that he nodded at me and started talking to Ana. God I hated Deag Ranak so much. He was a prick in the Knights Sentinels, he betrayed our cause, stole my super shotgun and then starts taunting me with the one person I care about. He was going to die, by my hand or not, he would not live to see another day.
