Bioshock

Micheal threw one of the spider splicers that lunged at him. The unfortunate splicer went into the group of splicers sending them all to the ground. Quickly Micheal sent a torrent of fire into the mass of splicers. ok that should keep them busy long enough, Micheal thought as he took off in the direction that his family went.

Micheal's head was still ringing from one of the bigger splicers. The damned thing had managed to throw Micheal into the wall so hard the side of his head was bleeding from hitting the inside of his helmet.

Fear welled up in Micheal when he heard more crazed laughter echoing throughout the hallways. More are coming!, a voice inside of Micheal's head screamed. He put an a burst of speed and began running even faster. Micheal suddenly stopped once he reached a fork in the road. Micheal's fear subsided once he saw a lone ribbon on one of the hallways. Micheal grabbed the ribbon with his left hand and continued to sprint into the reception area. Micheal used a small jolt of lightning to break the locking mechanism behind him.

Micheal strode into the room and was relieved to see Yena, and Hope. Walking over to Yena Micheal offered her the ribbon with an open hand, and a smile. Micheal would've hugged the pair, his head wound pained him to the extent to where he just wanted to rip off his helmet. Wait....., Micheal thought.

Micheal undid the air hoses on the sides of his helmet. He also unlatched the left and right side latches. After this was done Micheal lifted his helmet off of his head to reveal the face of a man in his late twenties. Micheal looked at a puddle of water to see his blue eyes gazing back at him. Micheal smiled simply from the ironic fact that he could actually see himself smiling. Micheal looked at the blood caked to the side of his head, it was drying onto his moderately long black hair. After he checked his head wound out he mouthed the word bandages to Yena, while giving a ghost of a smile.

Epsilon


Epsilon pounded the metal frame of the tunnel in a slow deliberate frequency, warning the other Big Daddy. Animalisticlly driven he continued on displaying his "power" in a way not uncommon to the great apes. Despite Epsilon's "intellect", relatively speaking, he felt it in his nature to act this way. He had pondered this for awhile during his patrols, that maybe the process of "Daddification" amplified the animalistic instincts that man had mentally suppressed. Now though it made no difference.

As the other Big Daddy pushed forward, Epsilon felt aggression surge through him. He would not back down, he would not step aside, was what his mind told him. Seeing the Big Daddy as an aggressor, Epsilon would have delt with him accordingly, but his high mental functions began to scream at the absurdity of what was about to happen. Before anything could go down, Epsilon pulled him self back to full control and once again cared not for his brethern in the least.

Turning around, Epsilon continued towards Pauper's Drop and towards his destination. Looking slightly to his right, he noticed the man was still there. Epsilon had totally forgotten about him. Perhaps he would explain to this man who was so "enlightened" about his kind when the means of communication came up. Until then, he would have to wait in darkness about those he presumed to know.

Epsilon continued onward towards Pauper's Drop. As he continued onward a transmission was picked up. It talked of a plan and a meeting spot. Perhaps Epsilon could find use of these people, but this man's plan mattered not if it had no possibility of pushing Epsilon's own plan forward. If it was a hinderance though, he would have to deal with them. Either way his path would also have to take him though Apollo Square and this group, meaning it would be worth his time to investigate.

Mr. Ducky stopped his deadly advance. The behometh had, at first, seemingly reacted like any other Big Daddy, but it abruptly pulled up, and walked away. Mr. Ducky immediatly reacted to this chance, and he slowly reached his hand down, and he brought up his mine launcher. His head screamed, "Kill ! Kill ! KILL !" and he agreed.

His finger squeezed the trigger just a small amount, and a scream ran out. "DON'T YOU DO IT MR. DUCKY." Sarah swiftly jumped onto his arm, wrapping her small body around it, and she stabbed the launcher with her ADAM needle. She wasn't strong enough to even move the weapon, but he instantly let the gun drop.

She squealed in alarm as he picked her up in his left hand, but it turned to a sigh of relief as he simply dropped her back on her spot, leaning over his shoulder. Mr. Ducky watched in alarm as the metal man thumped away, sending small tidal waves beating against the walls, and Mr. Ducky felt something strange. Beneath his mask, his eyes narrowed in hatred for just a second, but the feeling passed, and Mr. Ducky set out in his wake.

After following him for a short while, a radio transmisson played out. Mr. Ducky couldn't comprehand the words, but Sarah listened eagerly. "Mr. Ducky, we're gonna make some angels." She laughed malicously, and Mr. Ducky roared appreciately, as he picked up his rivet gun, holding it in both hands.

Slowly, Reaver's eyes regained focus. He breathed deeply, following behind Epsilon slowly. His swollen arm had no plasmid running through it and Reaver couldn't move his hand at all. He held his lead pipe as he continued to try and clear his head. "Y'know, we need to find something so that you can talk whenever. Otherwise, I'm just gonna go mad talking to myself." He told the Big Daddy in a joking tone. It felt good to at least have someone to talk to, even if they couldn't talk back.

James was working his way down to Tucker when he started seeing ghost! A women holding a bundle which was probably a child then another figure from behind loaded his pistol and shot her. James knew these ghost were here because of his plasmids.

James finally got back to Tucker "ready to go?" he asked. "Yep lets leave this place? Where are we going anyway." "I don't know lets try the mercury sweets." Said Tucker. They both walked into an underwater hell with weapons loaded. ( sorry for short post)

Hope gave a tiny nervous smile to Yena. Hope looked out the back of her cage waiting for him. She watched the darkness praying for a sign of movement. Then she saw him, he was running towards them. He used a shock of lightning to kill the machine behind him. Hope grinned broadly as she crawled to the front of her cage and pushed open the door. She sat on the edge of it and swung her heels together so that they made a clicking noise.

Hope gasped and shook her head as Micheal started to undo the air hoses. She had never seen a big daddy without his helmet. Truthfully she didn't really even know if they were human or not. She shut her eyes as he took off the helmet. Cautiously she opened her eyes one after the other. She didn't know how to react. He was most certainly human. Almost perfect except for the wound on the side of his head. Slowly Hope reached out across the space between Yena and Micheal. She put her tiny hand against his face, it was wet but warm and a little rough. "Mr.Bu- I mean...Micheal?" She said feeling it to be more appropriate to use his real name. She watched his mouth move as he mouthed the word bandages. "Bandages. Yena he needs bandages." She said not moving her hand from his face. She felt as though if she was to take her hand away he would just disappear.

"Right.....bandages" She said with a grunt. They didnt have any bandages on them since she figured none of them would seriously be injured. She looked around for a first aid kit, Rapture was swimming with them and one of them must have bandages in them. With Hope in her cage she walked around the station until she found on underneathe a bench. She opened it and removed the bandages "Here Michael......use these" She popped the air tight seals on her helmet and look at Michael through her own eyes and smiled "Your handsome Michael....a real knight in armor" She giggled a little and saw Michael as one of the knights from the storybooks she used to read.

Micheal gave Hope a warm smile when she put a hand against his cheek, Micheal closed his eyes and cupped her hand reassuringly. "Mr.Bu- I mean...Micheal?" She said. Micheal would've flashed his porthole green if he was still wearing his helmet, but now that it was off Micheal just smiled. He was happy she acknowledged him by his real name. It made him feel normal again, though he wouldn't admit it.

Micheal just sat there motionless enjoying the moment. "Right.....bandages," Yena aid with a grunt. After she went rustling around she handed him bandages from a med kit she held in her hands. "Here Micheal......use these," She said as she took off her helmet as well. Micheal looked at her beauty, as it inspired him to protect the pair from harm even more. After Micheal was done gazing at Yena he began to wrap bandages around his head. Once this was done Micheal got to his feet and once again took a good look at his new found family. "Your handsome Micheal....a real knight in armor," she said with a smile, while giggling. Micheal replied by giving a deep booming chuckle, and a warm smile. After Micheal's happiness subsided he strode over to the bathysphere and motioned for them to get in.

With his helmet in one hand, and his other at his side Micheal gave them a thumbs up.

As James and Tucker walked the halls of Rapture noticing a figure, the figure turned around shooting at the two "you're dead!" She yelled. James peaked around the corner shooting the lady splicer in the head. "She's dead" James said to Tucker. "Got it" Tucker replied.

The two approached the dead splicer. "You search her." Tucker said to James. As James searched the dead body a voice came over the radio. "Anyone who doesn't try to kill James Anderson will be punished, severly." The familier british voice said. This comotion made an uproar in all the splicers as they all charged at James and Tucker.

Hope giggled a bit as Yena said that Micheal looked something like a knight in armour. She let out a tiny sigh, she had never really seen anyone fall for each other. Other then in the movies. She could tell from the way Yena smiled and giggled at Micheal. The only person who could make Yena smile like that was Hope. Then there was the way that Micheal looked at Yena for a moment to long. For a moment Hoped dreamt of being in love and then she remembered who she was and not to mention where she was. Love was a hard thing to come across in Rapture and it's impossible when your a little sister who is supposed to be brain washed. Once again she closed her eyes for a quick moment and made a quick prayer. "Let me be normal." She thought, not really sure who the prayer was supposed to go out to. She just hoped that someone had heard it. She opened her eyes and looked over to where Micheal was standing. She smiled back and gave a thumbs up. "Well lets go!" She exclaimed.

Yena smiled and carried Hope in the cage, getting into the bathosphere, her cheeks a rose pink. She felt strange, and not in a bad way strange...it was like butterflies were flying around in her stomach. She didnt know how to catagorise it..but it felt good "Alright...next stop....Apollo Square" She flipped the lever and sent the bathosphere to Apollo Square and whatver awaited them there

double post

"God fuckin dammit!" James yelled. "There's to many of them we need to retreat to the batyspheare" Tucker said. The two were off only turning around to shoot incoming splicers.

As James and Tucker arrived at the bathyspheare they noticed that it was still gone. "Shit" James whispered. The two turned around only to be comfronted by many splicers. A crobar weilding splicer approached Tucker hitting him knocking him out. "Motherfucker!" James yelled as he put four bullets into the splicers head. More and more splicers were coming and James knew this was one of those moments where someone should save his sorry arse.

Micheal sat in the bathysphere enjoying the peaceful silence with his eyes closed, while he reminisced in his hazy unclear memories. slowly nodding off to sleep Micheal was plunged into a dream of some sort.
--------------------

Micheal was walking down a corridor, Everything was hazy, and all of his big daddy emotions that weighed him down were now gone. Micheal looked at his hands, and saw bare skin. He was no longer wearing his big daddy suit. He was free! Micheal sighed deeply out of satisfaction as he continued to walk towards the the end of the hallway. A figure at the end beckoned him, and the only features he could envision about the figure was It's outline. It reached out for him, it was beckoning him with a hand outstretched to him. Micheal was halfway through the hall way before he heard weeping sounding from behind him.

Micheal spun around and saw Yena, and Hope with tears in their eyes at the other end of the hallway, and when he saw the pair his memories came crashing back to him. I can't leave them.... They stood in front of a dark rusted over common bulkhead you would usually find in Rapture. They were looking at him with longing eyes full of hurt. Micheal opened his mouth to say something, but the only thing that came out was a whale like moan. His eyes rapidly moved around when a porthole obscured his vision. Micheal looked down at his hands and saw the armored gloves back on. Micheal looked at the figure one last time before he heard dream Hope say something that he would never forget. "Won't you save me daddy?" She said in the sad voice of a normal girl, while tears streamed down her cheek. Yena stood like a guardian angel over Hope, and gazed at Micheal with confusion, she mirrored the motion as the other figure on the other side of the hallway.

She reached out to him and uttered one word in the form of a question. "Micheal?" Yena whispered.

Micheal spun around and sprinted to Yena, and Hope; leaving the figure on the lighter side of the hallway by itself. Micheal reached out for the pair as his dream faded into darkness.....
--------------------
Micheal woke up with a start, and his eyelids fluttered open. Looking around in confusion Micheal realized they were in the bathysphere still. Micheal let his head rest against the back of his seat and gave a sigh of relief. It was just a bad dream.... Micheal reassured himself as he looked outside the window of the bathysphere to see that they were almost to Apollo square. Micheal put his helmet back on and fastened it down. As he was doing this the voices of his dream were still echoing in his mind, unable to shake the feeling that he was forgetting something.

((I hope you guys didn't mind if I added a dream to mine, as I thought my post would've been a little to dry without it))

James was shooting splicers one by one but they never stopped coming, James heard the clicking sound "oh shit I'm out." James said.

As James loaded another clip he noticed the Bathyspheare was coming up. "Welcome to Apollo Square, home of so many goddamn splicers." James said to himself. James bit his lip hoping whoever was in the bathyshpeare was friendly because with Tucker unconcious he was as good as dead.

Hope watched out the window waiting for the stop at Apollo Square. When she saw it coming in the distance she filled with terror. There were splicers and they were attacking something...wait no make that two things. She stuck her face to the back of the cage to look out the window. "Yena! We have to help them!" She yelled as she climbed back to the front of the cage. The bathysphere came to a halt in front of the gory scene but the doors remained closed. She looked, there were two men one was unconscious and the other was fighting off a large group of splicers. "Yena we have to let them in! Open the door! Their going to die otherwise!" She yelled as she looked at the handle that would open the door. She couldn't reach it from her cage. She looked back out the window at the man and gave a worried look.

James fought for his life shooting splicers then he noticed something. In the bathyspheare there were three figures.

James didn't know what to do he was against a horde of splicers looking around for something he could use, he tried to look at the three figures in the bathyspheare but he didn't want to take his attention away from the fight. James thought of his dad this brought anger and guilt into his mind as more splicers approached an uncontrollable rage entered his head.

Epsilon

The trek across the connecting tunnel was longer than one would expect. Unlike the smaller tunnels between buildings of the same section the city, this longe tunnel connecting Ryan's Retreat(and the buildings surrounding it) to Pauper's Drop stretched a good ten times longer than that. Along the way there were various hubs that divided the pathway into sections. The first one they ran into had sealed it's self as soon as Ryan's Retreat did. It took Epsilon longer to get this door open than it did the other.

Unlike previous door, in which he just smashed open, he had to use finesse. Compromising the time even further was that he could not directly control the door the way he could a security drone, turret, or any other various machines that occupied the city. With its simple mechanical lock and opening mechanism Epsilon had to go around it in a different way.

Hijacking a camera on the other side, he could sense the device, he was able to see the control panel and emergency override switch. With the camera in his control he could call security drones to his will, and with that fooled the machines into thinking the switch and panel was an intruder. Bullets holes riddled through it, the door slammed open. Continuing onward, Epsilon sealed the door way by pulling the two massive bulk heads down and back into place against each other. Jamming a large pipe in the doors gears kept it from opening again. With the door sealed, Pauper's Drop would not lock down, making his path easier.

Yena saw the fighting and her porthole turned red "Hope....she down inside of the cage. Do not open your eyes...this will get ugly. Very ugly" At the same moment she flipped the switch to open the door. She gave a loud Big Sister shriek and looked at the first Splicer that came into her sight and charged at him, stabbing the needle into it. She looked at the others while she drew the ADAM from the wriggling man. She hoped this display would scare off the splicers. She didnt want to endanger Hope. She looked at Michael with a nod "Give me a hand Mr. Bubbles......kill the Splicers"

"Give me a hand Mr. Bubbles......kill the Splicers," As soon as Yena said those words something triggered inside his suit. Micheal shook with rage as a red haze coated his vision. Kill! that word echoed in great intensity inside of Micheal's helmet. Micheal gave a loud war cry and charged at the nearest splicer impaling it on his drill. The splicers blood fell onto Micheal's already blood red porthole. Micheal gave another roar as he charged into a larger group of splicers after flinging the dead splicer off of his drill, Micheal brought his free hand down on the nearest splicer breaking his neck. Micheal brought his drill down on another splicer; cleaving the top of it's head open. With precision and rage Micheal kicked a splicer into a near by pillar. Micheal drilled through another splicer, and threw him at one of the retreating splicers. One of the braver splicers brought a wrench to the top of his helmet which did next to nothing. Micheal stomped on the splicers foot crushing it. Micheal's Red blood haze deepened as he picked the splicer up by the neck and choke slammed him onto the ground. When Micheal only saw retreating splicers, and dead splicers strewn around Yena Micheal turned on the stranger raising his drill to deliver a killing blow. No! don't do it! Micheal urged himself. Micheal trembled form the effort of stopping his drill arm. He quickly threw the drill off of his arm while turning away from the stranger. "Arghhhhhhh!" Micheal screamed trying to shake the blood haze out of his vision. Micheal pressed his hands on both side of his helmet trying to dispel his unquenchable rage. Micheal shook as he knelt down and looked around for more splicers. Whats happening to me? Micheal thought bleakly as he breathed heavily, and looked at the ground trying to shake the urge to kill from his mind.

James was shaking he knew the big daddy, and the big sister could easily kill him.

"Mercy....mercy." James said. "He....he's unconcious." James said looking at Tucker. James was almost frozen he didn't know what was scarier the splicers or the two that attacked the splicers, at least he could easily kill splicers. Then James noticed the little girl on the big sisters back.

Hope closed her eyes as Yena had told her too. She hid in the back of the cage with her eyes tightly shut, at that moment she heard the doors open. Yena gave a big sister screech and Hope shuddered a bit. She tried to block out the gushing sounds of blood and the thudding of dead bodies hitting the floor. She heard Yena ask for help from Mr. Bubbles she heard his battle cry and another shudder ran through her body. "Make it stop please make it stop." She whispered shaking her head. Cautiously she opened her eyes and immediately wished she hadn't Micheal was killing off splicers left and right and Yena and her were surrounded by dead bodies. Her breath stopped when Micheal raised his drill above the strangers head. "NO!" Hope screamed pushing the front of her cage. She didn't know what to do, Micheal had torn of his drill and had ran over to a corner. The stranger was by his friend and for a moment her eyes met with his. She placed a hand onto the cage trying to see what he was but she found herself falling downwards.

Hope hit the bloody floor with a thud. "Dumb cage." She said as she slowly stood up trying to wipe off the blood from her elbows. She looked back at the cage, the lock had come undone which happened usually now since it was getting rusty. She was about to crawl back in to the cage but she looked back at the...man...splicer? She wasn't sure. She stopped for a moment and took a step forward. She could tell from his eyes that he was horrified, she couldn't blame him. She walked over to him at first slowly and then ran over. "Th-th-they don't w-want to hurt you m-m-mister." She stuttered. Half of her was nervous and thinking this wasn't such a good idea but the other half was curious and somewhere in the pit of her stomach she knew that he didn't want to hurt her.

"Th-th-they don't w-want to hurt you m-m-mister." the little girl said. This gave James relief but he still had some fear in his eyes and anyone who looked him straight in the eyes could easily notice that. James looked at the big daddy that could have easily killed him. "What kept you from killing me?" James said to see if the big daddy could understand him.

"We need to check him." James said gesturing at Tucker. He approached Tucker. "Tucker? Tucker? Wake up." James said.
Tucker responded he slowly opened his eyes and looked around. Tucker jumped when he saw the big sister and big daddy.
"What the hell!?" Tucker yelled as he noticed them. "Its okay." James said trying to calm Tucker down. "I don't think they're going to kill us." James said almost sounding worried.

Yena looked down at Hope, walking towards her and picking her up, eyeing the two men before her "What are you two doing here? You shouldnt even be here..." She grabbed her cage and reattached it, resealing the rusted hinges and put Hope inside "There....all nice an safe for Hope..." She smiled inside her helmet and looked back at the other two, sniffing them softly and sighed, they didnt have any ADAM on them and were therefore useless in food sense. Slowly she undid the locks on her helmet and took it off, putting it under her arm. To the men, she would seem about 18 years old, raven black hair and the same sickly yellow eyes in her head, the same as the Little Sisters. She looked at Michael and walked to him "If they move to hurt us....kill them" She turned to regard the two "So...who are you two? And why are you down here?"

"Well our first mission was to get to Apollo square because we heard a message on the radio. Now my mission is to kill the asshole who called all those splicers in." James said in an angry tone. "I think the fucker killed my dad because he was a scientist trying to destroy ADAM." James said bluntly.

James looked at Tucker, Tucker looked at him. "So we told you about us. where are you heading?" Tucker blurted out. David thrusted a Cigar to his mouth. "I think you're the first people we've seen who haven't tried to kill us." james said looking at the cute little girl in the cage.

(OOC: I'm going camping friday through monday So I won't be on for 3 days don't get to far without me)
