Crystalline Universe: Team Fortress 2 Overwatch - Volume 3: Crystalline Universe: Bloodline's Curse Chapter 33 The Spy

*Inside the cafeteria

The joy and cheers of the men waved the room. Talon’s defeat at the battle of Italy not only wounded their military but most importantly, saw the death of their leader CR-455. Without a proper new leader, the already divided Talon territories saw the division of their lands into a total of 45 factions. Talon’s structural integrity is crumbling. On Overwatch’s side, more and more liberated countries joined their movement against Talon. The association is growing stronger every day.

Officers, crewmen, Soldiers and agents all sat around tables, drinking as they talked loudly in excitement. It was the first time those battle-harden men got so joyful since the start of the war.

Everything was there, entertainment, drinks, foods, friends and stories. But the place was still very quiet; it misses a bit of music.

[Aleksei] – “Dane, don’t you think it’s a bit too bland here? ”

Dane quickly finished up his beer and dropped the bottle on the table.

[Dane] – “What do you mean, partner? ”

[Aleksei] – “Music! We need a bit of music to light this place up! ”

[Soldier Alpha-80] – “Yes! We need some country music here! ”

[Dane] – “I know what to do in this case then! ”

[Aleksei] – “The micros inside the cafeteria are for exclusive use only. What are you planning to do? ”

[Dane] – “We have quite the men here to shake things up! ”

[Aleksei] – “Huh? Good stuff then. ”

[Dane] – “Come with me, Maddox. (Soldier’s name. And yes, it’s the descendant of the soldier from Team Fortress 2) ”

Dane got up from his chair and hastily walked toward Mike’s table, where Mike, Bernhardt, Kadyn, McCree and Reinhardt sat.

Dane clapped his palms against the table to the shock of the people sitting around it.

[Mike] – “Dane? Come on, mate, what’s the matter? ”

[Dane] – “Look, buddy, I need some of your help. ”

[Kadyn] – “Help what? ”

[Bernhardt] – “Just wait, you’ll see. ”

[Mike, with a smile] – “Pack it up, we are going! ”

[Dane] – “Let me go get the instruments. ”

*A few minutes later

All of sudden, the light went off and everyone’s attention was driven toward five figures standing at the center of the cafeteria. Slowly, Dane started by playing the drums. Soon, Bernhardt followed by playing a small piano then Maddox followed by playing the trumpet. Finally, Mike busted out with a loud and melodious play of the saxophone. While the four of them played their instruments, Kadyn danced in front of the four and with gorgeous motion, opened her tail into 6. Her middle tail, the crystal tail, shined with all kinds of colours like a disco ball. The room was soon filled with music and colours as the 5 of them kept on playing and dancing. The rest of the people around was rapidly driven to dance. It was a real party, now everyone’s dancing and moving.

Deep back inside an obscure corner, a man sat in silence. His face was hidden in darkness and the only thing visible was the small fire from his cigarette and the smoke along with it.

*Sometime later that night

Mike’s chamber door suddenly busted open as well as the light. Mike entered with Kadyn while kissing each other in passion. As she backed, Kadyn fell softly on the sofa grabbing Mike along with her. Mike speedily took the sharp suit off his upper body as Kadyn took off her skirt. Mike, instead of going straight for the action, decided to help Kadyn take her boots off.

[Kadyn] (aroused) – “Humm… You are taking quite some time, darling. ”

[Mike] – “What’s the rush, dear? ”

With a swift motion, Kadyn slapped Mike on the face with her black coloured pantie.

[Kadyn] – “Can you feel the rush now? ”

[Mike] – “umm… Then let’s wait no more. ”

Using his power, Mike immediately reduced their clothes to pieces and launched himself on Kadyn.

*After sometime

Kadyn laid her head on Mike’s torso in a sigh of pleasure as she looked at Mike with a grin. Mike, on the other hand, looked at her with a warm smile.

[Kadyn] – “Ready for another round? ”

[Mike] – “Haha… You are soo energetic. It’s already our 7th round. ”

Kadyn slowly crawled herself to meet Mike’s face with her own.

[Kadyn] – “Heh… are you tired, my dear husband? ”

[Mike] (nervous) – “What? No! Tired? What do you mean? ”

[Kadyn] – “Make me happy then! ”

Mike held Kadyn tight with both of his arms and kissed her on the lips.

[Kadyn] (shy) – “Gio… ”

[Mike] – “Yeah? ”

[Kadyn] – “You know… since you decided to step away from the war and go live a quiet life with me… ”

[Mike] – “Yeah? I mean we are leaving tomorrow but… Is there something you wanna tell me? ”

Kadyn grasped herself around Mike’s neck and hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth in embarrassment.

[Kadyn] (in embarrassment) – “I… ” (with a soft and weak voice) – “I want to have kids… ”

The words came to Mike like a shock to his mind. The young man looked away from Kadyn and spoke in a nervous voice.

[Mike] – “You want… babies? ”

[Kadyn, with a red face] – “Yes… ”

[Mike] (extremely nervous) – “Okay… I guess… ”

Kadyn suddenly pulled Mike’s regard back toward herself with both her hands on the young man’s face.

[Kadyn, with a face burning of embarrassment] – “Keep your on me now and tell me the truth. I want you to be 100% ok with this in all of your honesty. ”

[Mike] – “Sigh… Fine… Kadyn… I’m not ready for this… at least not until the war ends. ”

[Kadyn] – “Huh… I’m sorry, Gio… I… just wanted to have this little creature in my hands… This beautiful little thing that’s the perfect world for lovers… Proof of my loyalty to you and only you. ”

With a soft movement of the hand, Mike played with Kadyn’s blond hair.

[Mike] – “Hey, I just said I’m not ready but I never said no. I just wanted this war to end so my heart could be at peace. In my current condition, I will never be ready to handle something like that. ”

[Kadyn, with a small tear] – “Thank you, Gio. You are right, I mean I wouldn’t want my child to grow up inside the chaos of the war. Let’s wait for the perfect opportunity. ”

[Mike] – “I promise you that we will have as many children as you like when the war ends, okay? ”

[Kadyn] – “You swear? ”

[Mike] – “A promise that will last for the eternity. ”

[Kadyn] – “Alright, when we will leave Overwatch for good tomorrow, can we go to live in Venice? ”

[Mike] – “Venezia? Why? ”

[Kadyn] – “It’s where you were born, right? ”

[Mike] – “Yeah… A beautiful city indeed. I used to live with my parents there… ”

Kadyn pressed her chest against Mike’s torso.

[Kadyn, with a cute smile] – “Humm… Ready for the 8th round? ”

[Mike] (with a grin) – “Oh, you naughty girl! ”

Before the pair could get down to action once more, a few knocks on the chamber door suddenly caught their attention.

Kadyn rapidly grabbed her bra and put on Mike’s black coat.

[Kadyn] – “I’ll go get it. ”

Mike quickly got himself dressed and while searching for his pants, found Kadyn’s pantie.

[Mike] – “Holy…! Kadyn! Your pantie! ”

[Kadyn] (confused) – “Huh? ”

But it was too late. The door opened and Genji stood in front of it.

[Genji] – “Mike… we need you for… ” (seeing Kadyn’s lower parts) – “Holy…!!! ”

In a swift kick, Kadyn destroyed Genji’s groin and closed the door behind her.

[Genji, on the ground in pain] – “That’s still f.u.c.k.i.n.g worth it!! ”

*Later inside Dane’s laboratory

Everyone inside McCree’s squad was called to the place for an emergency meeting.

[Dane] – “Gentlemen, I can see that you are all confused about why I called you here at this hour of the night. ”

[Bernhardt] – “What’s the problem then! It better important gottverdammt. ” (“god damn it” in german)

[Dane] – “We got a big problem! ”

Dane advanced toward a screen and smashed the play button with his fist.

Footage of the Spy killing two guards and infiltrating a control room was shown in front of the agents.

[McCree] – “Dear god! ”

[Mike] – “That filthy spy… what dime-a-dozen backstabbing sc.u.mbag! ”

[Dane] – “The spy has already breached our defence and disabled our cameras. He must be the most skilled spy I never dealt with in my life and now he’s here to f.u.c.k us! ”

[McCree] – “How you know that he’s here for us? You are the president of his fan club or what? ”

[Dane] – “Then why did he attack Reinhardt for no reason? ”

[Genji] – “Reinhardt? What did he do to him? ”

[Dane] – “Earlier, he backstabbed Reinhardt through the heart and he almost died if it wasn’t for some immediate medical attention. ”

Everyone stood in shock to Dane’s words.

[Bernhardt] – “That dummkopf! No dignity! ”

[Dane] – “As you can see what he did to our colleague but most importantly he could be any one of us! He could be you, he could be me, he could even be standing beside you right now! ”

[Kadyn] – “Enough! ”

Everyone turned their heads to see Kadyn in a fit of rage.

[Kadyn] (in anger) – “I will personally hunt that asshole down! I have some unfinished business with him! ”

[Dane] – “Alright… Be careful of your surroundings and search for him wisely! ”

[Aleksei] – “Count it on us, this tiny man is no match for me! ”

[Genji] – “Jesus, Mike, is your wife on her period or what. ”

[Mike] – “The Spy caused us some pretty serious trouble back then when we were still serving Talon. She’s just mad about it. ”

The men divided themselves into groups of 2 and departed for the search.

Dane stayed alone inside his laboratory protected by two sentry guns and two sentinel droids.

[Dane] – “I must figure out where that snake’s hiding! ”

On the ceiling, a man in a black suit suddenly appeared out of invisibility. Through his visor, he looked down at Dane like how a lion hunts his prey.

[Spy] (in a whisper) – “Hehe… We meet again Dane! ”

With the press of a button on his arm, Spy summoned a holographic screen in front of him. With the press of a few keys on the tablet, a blue ray was launched onto each of the droids protecting Dane. The bots abruptly fell to the ground with a cloud of dark smoke coming out of them. Dane, seeing the situation, quickly grabbed his wrench from the workshop and pulled his pistol out of his pocket. Droplets of sweat rained down from his head as he waited for the spy’s attack. The secret agent could appear from any direction and at any moment to deliver a deadly strike.

[Dane] – “Come out, you coward! Fight me like a man, you snake! ”

*No response

[Dane] – “I’ll teach to not mess with my contraptions. ”

[Spy] – “Good day to you, sir! ”

[Dane] – “Aaargh! Start praying, boy! ”

Dane quickly turned his body and in a rapid shot, fired behind him.

Spy slowly appeared from invisibility behind him.

[Spy] – “You were this close, partner! ”

Dane turned to face the spy and launched himself onto him with his wrench.

The spy easily dodged Dane’s strikes without any effort and with his knife, swiftly cut the engineer’s wrench in half. The spy’s blade glowed in a fiery blue as he slowly approached Dane.

[Spy] – “I got some upgrades since the last time we fought! ”

[Dane] – “Looking fancy won’t save your face from getting blown open! ”

Dane aimed at the spy’s head with his pistol and fired a shot. Spy quickly dodged the bullet and with a kick, sent Dane’s weapon flying to the floor.

[Spy] – “Why don’t we just give up, partner? ”

[Dane] – “Because dying is for animals and we are human! ”

Dane hastily grabbed his “Black Horse” shotgun from the table behind him and with a single pull of the trigger, fired four consecutive rounds at the spy. Being totally caught off-guard, the spy was hit two times by the shells and fell to the ground. Dane advanced toward the agent while pointing his barrel at the spy’s head.

[Dane] – “That’s why I will slay a snake right now! ”

[Spy] – “Hahahaha! You know… if you really were the human here then you would be smarter than this! ”

[Dane] (in anger) – “Words from a dead man! ”

A blue light was suddenly sent onto Dane’s helmet and in an instant, his helmet’s circuits melted. His visor abruptly blew upon his face, instantly blinding the engineer.

In pain, Dane dropped his gun and without losing a single second, the spy got up and with his knife, backstabbed Dane through the spine. The wounded engineer fell to the floor.

[Spy] – “I may sometime be a snake but I’m a smart one! I will get my jobs done no matter what it takes but you… You are already at the end of the line. You are out of commission, old friend! ”

The spy pulled his pistol out of his holster and fired 3 shots directly at Dane’s skull. The engineer laid on the ground, unresponsive with blood slowly surrounding his body.

On the other hand, the spy dropped to his knees in agony while covering his wound with his hand.

[Spy] – “You did not go down without a fight though, mon ami. You lived a fulfilling life… Nothing personal, it’s just business! ”

Blood slowly started to cover the agent’s hand as his wounds too started to bleed.

[Spy] (in agony) – “I’ll have to use the dead ringer soon if this goes on… Gash the pain…! ”

All of a sudden, footsteps approached the laboratory. The spy, after quickly putting himself together, got up and tried to hid Dane’s body inside a corner.

The door suddenly opened and Kadyn walked inside the room with her wrist blade extended.

On her blade’s metallic reflexion, Dane stood behind her.
