Lance holds an unconcious Mei in his hands. Sobbing and trying to make her open her eyes. He wanted to make sure she was alive but didn't know how,he wasn't that experienced. His eyes filled with rage and tears.

He was tired, tired of fighting, of taking care of the world or what was left of it but he remembered the promise he made, and the sacrifices others have made for him to help him reach this point.

He closes his eyes, the images of his family still in front of him when he closes his eyes. Seeing what had happened in the past year. Mercy, Tracer, 76, Lucio, Ana, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, all perish at the hands of that monster.

He remembered Reinhardt's punishment being the worst. How he made the old man fight him in the burning flames till his Armour melted while him being still in it. But he kept fighting, till his last breath. That monster was having fun of course. He didn't get a scratch.

Shifting those thoughts aside he tried to gain composure and lifed Mei's body from behind the cover. He tried to make it back to the lab but it was gone. He thought his mind was playing tricjs he looked around, the watchpoint was gone. The last remnants of his family engulfed in flames. He didn't care about the building. All he cared about was that the secret door to the underground launch pad wasn't destroyed. If he could find it then perhaps they all didn't die in vain after all.

To his horror he felt someone's energy coming. He felt him incoming. He looked up at the sky and sure enough it was him. The 'man' who single handedly destroyed Overwatch, Talon, the UN, and most of the population human omnic alike. The man who had the face of his father. He couldn't bear to call him by his father's name, a man who he never got to meet. So he called him Black, it was the name given to him by his mother Angela because it was all they could see when he first appeared. A black silhouette flying across the sky in the dark clouds.

The being landed on a slight cliff made up of the cars mounted on top of each other ages ago, the electric energy surging around him wiping the mist away showing his full figure this time. Lance was ready with his ki glowing in his hand. He put everything he had in that one hand.

But he knew it was no use. Perhaps when he first faced this monster he could have beaten him but the thrill of a fight clouded his better judgement.

But he couldn't have known his will to fight powerful foes and getting stronger was also present in his nemesis. The feeling was even stronger in his case. Everytime he hurt Black his body grew stronger with the pain if he survived which he did of course because of the naive nature of Lance's moves. He didn't have the stomach for killing. He was just a child who had incredible power. People said he got those from his father's side.

He was desperate, knowing it was his last stand. But he was yanked out of his thoughts when he saw a smirk on the face of the creature clothed in black.

It was a small but he could see it. He had gotten awfully used to it. He saw it everytime one of his family was destroyed. With utter silence between the two, Black finally spoke for the first time at least in front of Lance, albeit with a grinning face, "It's the day you'll take your final breath ,Human."
