Authors note: Here it is, as I had promised the first chapter of Rapture Infinite, the official last story of the little/Big brother Saga. It had been sometime and a lot of hard work, the first version didn't work out as it seemed a little bit of a copy of Bioshock infinite and very cheesy to add.
But thanks to Bioshock burial at sea and its...heartbreaking ending..it gave me the perfect idea for the story.
Summary: The story starts with Jacob having a dream about being in Paris and meeting Elizabeth again, after he wakes up he is shocked to find himself in a Rapture which Jack is currently evil and running it to the ground as he builds his army.
Confused and with broken memories, Jacob's only hope for survival comes from the voice of his sister Sophie, who somehow is talking to him through the radio...even though he knows its not possible..and the two mysterious twins called the Luteces, who have the uncanning ability to pop out of nowhere to offer advice.
After finding Elizabeth they will both team up and travel through the broken rapture, meeting some familiar faces and such as they hope to find a way to stop Jack and head back home, but the question is...will they do it? how did Jacob got there in the first place? and why? Lets find out.
Please enjoy the chapter and please remember to review when done.
"No matter whether we believe in the existence of God or not..there is a greater power behind everything which composes our lives"-Jacob (Alexander) Andrew Lamb.
"ALEX! GET AWAY FROM THAT MACHINE, ITS GOING TO BLOW!",
"TAKE COVER!" (CRASH, EXPLOSION, RUMBLE)
(Silence)
"Czar? you okay?",
"Alex, where did you go?! stop playing games with us!",
"Jacob! show yourself right now before I make you!",
"Jacob?..."
"Oh my god...where did he go?!"
France, Paris 2012:
Awkward, that's the only feeling a single bachelor could feel as he walked across the cobble stone streets of the capital of couples and love.
Out of all the places he could have chosen to go on his little...vacation why did he pick Paris when he could have picked to have an exiting Indiana Jones style adventure in India or gone to Hawaii and surf his vacation away or gone to feed sharks.
But no he choose Paris, the worst city to go to when your single...if only he had gone to last Vegas instead...ya that last one would have been good.
Sighting the man continued his walk to nowhere, he wore a long sleeve black dress shirt, long sleeves were pulled up a bit mid elbow, the first two buttons of the shirt were undone, wore tan color slacks with a nice pair of shoes, his dark hair was combed neatly with some gel, the combination of clothes were a little out of date.
He was indeed a very odd sight with his way to walk, dress and talk suggesting that he was old fashion, he was skinny, but well built, tall but not too tall, his skin was very pale suggesting he hadn't been out in the sun for too long, his eyes were the strangest of all for they were bi color, one eye was color gray while the other eye was blue, main reason why he hid them behind a pair of sunglasses.
His eyes were a small bother for him, it was better than when he had them glowing yellow like cat eyes.
Shaking that though of his head he looked ahead to see the Eiffel tower just an hour walk away, the sun setting slowly.
Deciding he had walked enough he turned and stopped at a little outdoor french cafe to take a rest.
Sitting on an empty table he breathed slowly, a waiter brought over a menu, chit chatted in french trying to offer some wine and appetizers which he refused for alcohol gave him nightmares.
When the french waiter left he looked back at the Eiffel tower and began to think of the events that brought him to this city.
Just a day ago he...Jacob Andrew, was busy doing what he usually did, being Czar of Rapture...
Technically he didn't wanted to be leader or Czar or King, but he was voted the leader and soon the little sisters and brothers dubbed him as Czar and soon the tittle stuck to him like glue.
Czar Alexander...it was who he was now in Rapture and boy did Rapture needed a lot of work.
Twice it had been reconstructed, the first time during the battle against the tyrant Gilbert, the second after the war against the parasites and their commander Nero...the last one left the city devastated and in fear of the government discovering them and exploding them and their families, luckily thanks to the thinker and the use of hypnosis plasmids they were able to make sure Rapture was kept a secret and unknown to outsiders, after that they just rebuild the city.
Sadly just as they thought that they were done another building resurfaced, this one was fairly odd for nobody had seen it before and it wasn't even recorded on the old maps of rapture or in the system.
So Jacob gathered a small group of big brothers and sisters, himself included, to investigate the building.
Upon looking at it they discovered it was an old department store building frank fountain put up, nothing out of the ordinary till they made a closer inspection.
Hidden deep inside they found some old plasmid...drinkable ones..and some kind of device..built by Suchong.
Something...Wait a second...he didn't remember what happened next and come to think of it...he didn't even remember how he got to Paris in the first place.
He knows that all his friends were begging him to take it easy and go out but...he doesn't remember packing and leaving..much less for Paris.
"Something isn't right here" though Jacob as he looked around his environment with caution.
Soon the waiter came back, interrupted Jacob's thoughts by saying "Bonjour je suis Edgar votre serveur pour ce soir, êtes-vous prêt à commander? (hello I am Edgar your waiter for tonight, are you ready to order?)".
Deciding to order before he got kicked out, Jacob looked over the small menu before saying in french "Je vais devoir les cannellonis Brocciu avec une tranche de pain et de boire de l'eau (I'll have the Brocciu cannelloni with a slice of bread and water to drink)".
Nodding the waiter took the menu and left, once he was gone Jacob was left alone again to continue his musings as he listened to the sounds of Paris and the music of La Vie En Rose that was being played in the cafe...but only for a short while.
"Sir" he heard turning his head he turned a little to look at the person only to find the person...woman...shielding her face behind a small black and white sketch she made of his face, the sketch, it was him, his features were captured perfectly, his name was written on it.
"How did you know my name?" asked Jacob as he looked oddly,
"You told me sometime ago" she said lowing the sketch revealing her face...her dark brown hair...blue eyes..he knew her!
"Elizabeth?" Jacob gasped slowly getting off of his chair and looked at the woman before him.
Her hair was long and a dark brown, much like his own hair, it was tied behind on a low pony tail, she wore very little make up perhaps a little bit of eye shadow, mascara and a sugary pink rose color on her lips, her dress was white and black with a ribbon around her waist accentuating it nicely and despite the fact that the dress seemed rather old it suited her quite nicely.
It was her, the same Elizabeth that Jacob met at the party a couple of weeks back, there was no doubt about it but...what is she doing here?
He had searched for her all over Rapture and asked everybody, but it seemed as if she was just as mysterious as Cinderella had come and left the ball before midnight without leaving a single trace of her existence.
"Elizabeth" said Jacob again, trying to shake the shock he had on, but just before he did there was a strong wind, blew the drawing Elizabeth made out of her hand.
"Hey! Stop!" she said as she ran after the drawing, chasing it through the cobble stone streets of Paris,
"Elizabeth, stop!" yelled Jacob as he ran after her, trying to chase her down.
As he chased her the wind grew stronger, the environment around him...it changed..
The cheery shops of the Parisian streets began to warp, turning to broken down or burning shops, the sky grew ominous and dark, the wind carried ashes and paper and the people...they were warping...turning into splicers.
"ELIZABETH! STOP! ITS NOT WORTH IT!" yelled Jacob as dread began to settle in as he chased her up and down streets, through the alleys and over bridges, Elizabeth payed no mind to him or her surroundings, her full attention and interest was getting that drawing as she ran faster.
Taking another turn into an alley Jacob slow down seeing Elizabeth at the end of the alley, she was still, but not only her but also Rapture.
The buildings shook as there were explosions inside of them..how was this possible? whats going on!?
"Elizabeth?" asked Jacob softly as he walked the alley, which seemed more like one of the many hallways of rapture.
As he got closer he noticed Elizabeth was not alone, there was another person at the end of the hallway.
Then all of a sudden there was this sound of a sick crack, the man hit Elizabeth on top of her head with a hard wrench, she fell to the ground like a limp doll.
"ELIZABETH!" yelled Jacob as he began to ran towards her, the man hit her again despite the fact that she was already down,
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" yelled Jacob as he ran faster trying to reach Elizabeth, the hallway seemed to stretch on and on forever, never allowing him to reach Elizabeth, to try and save her.
Everything went black...
"Elizabeth..."sob"...I am sorry..."
To be continued...
