"Oi! Are you still kicking mate!" a familiar voice screamed towards Roadhog, who was lying on the road. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that his boss, Junkrat, was standing over him with his hands on his hips. Roadhog rolled his eyes and attempted to get himself up, but Junkrat offered a hand. And with his help, Roadhog got up and remembered that they were in King's Row neighborhood in London doing a mission with Talon. The mission was simple enough to follow: secure the EMP device and plant it inside the Underworld, a claustrophobic city for omnics. However, it seemed that Overwatch knew about their little plan and decided to stop them. Talon fought with Overwatch several times across the world and lost plenty battles with them. Recently, Rialto was a major failure as Overwatch agents were successful in entering Talon's headquarters and retrieved several classified info. It was most likely how Overwatch knew about the plan.

[color=rosybrown]"What happened?"[/color] Roadhog asked Junkrat.

"Well, Reinhardt was beating you up pretty good before we came to the rescue." Junkrat explained to Roadhog while walking towards Reaper and the other team members. He shouted his name and pointed at Roadhog. Reaper came over towards the Junkers and said, "It seems that you lived. Not many could say that."

"He's stronger than he looks!" Junkrat pointed out.

"I suppose so." Reaper only stated before returning to the others. He was explaining how Sombra and Widowmaker went ahead to spy on Overwatch stationed near the entrance of the Underworld before Junkrat interrupted him. Now, he had a new plan on crushing the resistance. Sombra and Widowmaker would distract them while the rest of the team launched a surprise attack with help from the tube lines. Now with Roadhog presented, he was going to be the distract Overwatch with help from Junkrat (once he set up the explosions in the tube line). Meanwhile, the others would attempt to flank Overwatch and plant the EMP device. 

With the plan in place, Talon split up and went to their destination. Roadhog waited at the abandoned Fox and Bear for Junkrat to return from the underground station. He took the time to reflect the life that he had as Roadhog, a merciless killing machine. Roadhog became a well-known name across the Outback for his ruthless method of completing contracts and collecting targets. Then, he met the infamous Junkrat. Junkrat was wanted for possessing something incredibly valuable to the entire world. Of course, Roadhog thought that it was going to an easy job to deliver him to the Queen; but, he never expected to be betrayed by her.

Afterward, he had no choice to work with Junkrat to find out why she betrayed him. Unfortunately, she didn't provide any useful answers to him and it left him feeling empty. It was when he offered to become Junkrat's bodyguard for fifty percent. Junkrat fought with him about the percentage but accepted it at fifty-fifty. Now it has been a year since the offer was accepted, both Junkers are close friends and have been through a lot during the year. Roadhog then remembered a life before the explosion. Before the Junkers. Before the mask. However, he noticed that it was brighter thanks to the reflection of the glass. It was as if an explosion went off in the distance, but he didn't remember Junkrat planting anything in London. 

Originally, he went to contract Junkrat to question him about it but was abruptly interrupted by the sky. It lit up like the Sun was crashing towards the Earth, which caused Roadhog to be blinded for a moment. He tried to get back into the pub but fell to the ground on accident. While his vision was returning, he heard Junkrat shouting in surprise and tried to get in contact with everyone including his pal. "Hog, where are you?!" Junkrat demanded. Before he could respond, Roadhog's vision returned and watched as pure light was coming towards him like a flame. It was the last thing that he saw.

There was only oblivion. There was no way of communicating or moving in the darkness. It felt like Roadhog was slowing losing his mind to the blackness. But, he heard whispers of people in the distance with no beginning or ending. Finally, he decided to attempt running towards the source. It felt like he wasn't going anyway, but the whispers got louder and louder. Suddenly, he heard a shot so loud that it echoed across nothingness. Then, he woke up to a sunny day with clean skies. Roadhog felt like that he was asleep for an eternity, but he clearly remembered everything before being consumed by the light.

He knew that he wasn't in London anymore. And in a moment of fear and rage, he grabbed the chain and yanking it as hard as he could. The hook flew pass some of the strangers before Roadhog caught. Then, he stabbed the hook onto the ground and used it as a support to help himself off of the ground. After getting up, Roadhog shoved few of the strangers out of the way in the hopes of giving himself a fair advantage. He stared at the group of strangers and couldn't see Junkrat or anyone familiar.  

Roadhog clutched his scrap gun and hook in preparation for a fight. He had no reason to trust them at all. After all, he couldn't remember how he got to this foreign land. [color=rosybrown]"Where am I?"[/color] he tried to ask the group of strangers and got no answer due to the mask causing his voice to be muffled. When he got no answer, he pulled the trigger of his scrap gun and fired a warning shot. The scrap left holes in the ground to serve as a reminder to respond quickly. And when Roadhog felt that it wasn't quick enough, he decided to yell out the question in anger.
