The rapid echoing hoofsteps could be heard from afar as Twilight, along with her friends, ran down the corridor. Not far behind them was a large group of changeling soldiers with their weapons ready.
After countless twists and turns, the group had managed to exit into the gardens of the palace and were all greeted with quite the sight. Above in the sky were more changeling soldiers ready to drop down for battle at a seconds notice.
“What are we going to do!?” Said a very distressed Rarity, the fashionista of Twilight’s circle of friends. She wore a bridesmaid dress and so did Fluttershy, veterinarian of the group, as well Pinkie Pie, the party mare of the group.
“I say we take ‘em on.” Said the athlete of the group, Rainbow Dash as she pounded a fist into her palm. This was earned with an angered look from her rival and friend, Applejack.
“You're insane if ya think we can take on a group of armed bug soldiers.” The Farmer mare said. As she said this, Twilight looked back at the doors they ran through, hearing the sound of armored hooves getting closer.
“Doesn't seem like we have a choice.” Twilight said to everypony as her hand shone the very same lavender hue her horn did. Hearing this, both Fluttershy and Rarity took a single step back away from the door. Rarity’s horn soon hone a light blue hue, readying herself to fight while Fluttershy simply took a fighting stance just as she was taught.
Pinkie Pie had managed to not only change her attire but had also somehow gotten her hands a wooden bat. Rainbow Dash and Applejack ceased their argument and took their own fighting stances.
Before they knew it, the doors were blown off their hinges by an incredible force and not long after that, the soldiers came running out with their weapons ready. The six mares dared not to move, waiting for the changelings to make their move.
Three of the seven changelings were unique compared to their comrades. The middle changeling was tall and very muscular, the latter was more apparent by the lack of armor on him. The only thing of armor that could be seen was the horned helmet it wore and as for his weapon of choice, he held a large battle axe. To his right was another odd changeling, wearing a full set of knight armor and holding only a longsword. Finally, to the left of the large changeling was another unique individual of the group. This one looked more like the other one, wearing a set of knight armor with the exception of the helmet. His weapon of choice was a one handed flail while he held a shield on his other hand.
Both groups were seen unmoving, glaring at one another. It was then that Twilight saw everything slow down to a crawl as a single word was uttered by the large changeling.
“Honor!” Yelled the large changeling, followed by the cries for battle as his group charged just moments later. Twilight, along with her friends, stood ready to fight as she began to cast a torrent of flames up to the group.

Trevor stood ready with both guns in hand only to be shocked at the sight of Violet. She was curled up and shook with fear while hiding her face behind her knees. Trevor dropped the shotguns and ran up to Violet, his brotherly instincts kicking in at the sight.
“Violet!” He exclaimed as he got onto his knees while taking off the ridiculous mask he wore for the last hour. Once his mask was discarded onto the floor, Trevor pulled the sobbing form of Violet into a comforting embrace. “I'm here, sis.” He said in a comforting tone, his voice sounded like it never changed. Violet sobbed onto her brother’s chest, finally letting go of the tears she held as her brother whispered kind words to her. After what felt like hours, Trevor finally spoke. “What happened? You're not hurt, are you?” He asked, his tone showing the worry he felt for his sister.
“I'm scared.” Came the quiet answer from the younger sibling. Trevor’s embrace tightened slightly, allowing Violet to feel safe in his arms. It felt odd for Trevor as he held Violet in his arms, it felt odd because of Violet now having the complete appearance of Tracer but this fact did not hide that this poor girl was truly his sister.
“You don't need to be, now that I'm here.” Trevor said as he stood up with Violet in his arms. He gently placed Violet onto the bed before making his way towards the open door to peek out through the hall, seeing nothing that would threaten them both. He turned back to look at Violet and was greeted with the curled up form of his sister.
He walked up to the bed and sat beside Violet as the latter still shook in fear. It broke his heart seeing his sister in such a state. Leaning towards Violet, Trevor pulled her into another comforting embrace but stayed silent during this. As he rocked her from side to side, hopping it would comfort Violet more if he did, Trevor saw the mask lying on the floor from the corner of his eyes.
He pulled away from the embrace to pick up the discarded mask from the floor before looking at it. Violet, in the meantime, kept letting out a few quiet sobs and hearing this, Trevor decided to put on the mask once more before standing up from the bed.
“Where you going?” Asked Violet before sniffling slightly. Trevor looked down at himself and saw the stocks belonging to his gun on both holstered at his sides. Nodding to himself, He walked up to a large wardrobe before he began to push towards the door, intending to block it to ensure Violet’s safety for the time being. With the wardrobe now in place, Trevor looked back at Violet before answering.
“I'm going to make them pay for making you cry. Stay here and don't let anyone in.” Answered Trevor, his voice now deep and gruff like before. The sounds of fighting greeted both sibling and hearing this, Trevor followed the source of the sounds out into the balcony before looking down at the courtyard of the palace. There he saw Twilight and what Trevor could assume were her friends all fighting a group of seven of the same soldiers that had attacked Trevor before. His anger doubled at the sight of them.
Trevor climbed onto the railings, looking down at the fight as he did. It seemed that Twilight and her friends were holding their own, until this changed once more when Changeling reinforcements had dropped from the sky. Now they were outnumbered and surrounded, leaving Trevor to do the one thing he could do to help. He jumped off from the railing and plummeted down towards the ground. As he fell, he noticed the shadows that began to pour off of him as he fell and before he could comprehend what was going on, his entire body was engulfed in a strange black smoke before he could hit the ground. The smoke held him up a few inches off the ground, feet first and waited for Trevor to move a muscle. Wasting no time to think on what had just occurred, Trevor took hold of both Hellfire shotguns before charging towards them, letting out an angered yell as he did.
He was unsure how this fight would end as he himself is inexperienced in armed combat and only mildly experienced in brawling. But with a single pull of both triggers soon changed his uncertainty to confidence as the first of the seven changeling was not only sent back from the impact but killed him as well with the multiple bullet penetrations. Of course, this had caused the other soldiers to turn their attention towards him. Catching a glimpse of a confused Twilight Sparkle, Trevor could tell that their attackers moved towards Trevor and surrounded him.
Seeing that he was truly surrounded, Trevor dropped both guns before reaching onto his sides almost as he had two more Hellfire Shotguns and like magic, he did and they seemingly appeared out of thin air too.
Without any warning, the large one charged towards Trevor only to be shot multiple times. Trevor didn't let up, unloading both shotguns onto the large soldier until it dropped dead just inches away from his boot. Dropping his guns again, he pulled out another pair. The remaining soldiers gripped onto their weapons before charging all at once, ready to kill Trevor for what he did. But before any could land a single hit, a loud shout was heard from above.
“Ryūjin no ken o kurae!” Came an unknown voice from above. Not even a second after that was heard, half of the soldiers surrounding Trevor yelled in agony before falling onto the floor. Not a minute after that, a figure landed just in front of Trevor. On the figure’s back was a scabbard, the figure stood up and spun the sword in his hand before placing it in his scabbard, causing a few green sparkles to emit from the scabbard. The remaining changelings looked at one another before dropping their weapons and fleeing. “I must apologize for my tardiness. I am Genji.” Said the ninja like stallion in armor. Trevor felt as if he had a million questions towards what is going on but for reasons he does not comprehend, ignores this revelation just he did with the shadows engulfing, his sudden boost of anger as well as the two never ending shotguns.
Whatever the reason it may be could wait as Trevor ran into the palace, ready for fight he didn't wish to be in.
Author's Note
Okay so the wait was excruciatingly painful, I know but that was because I couldn't continue this. This doesn't mean I'm cancelling it, it just means I'm just not going to write another chapter until I get Overwatch.
Playing the game that my story is about really helps me create a chapter.
I will try to write but without the game, I'm basically dragging it down
Some Overwatch characters will have the same name as in the game.
