I'm posting a bunch of old projects up here, ones that I never felt like sharing before. This particular one is a fusion between Bioshock and Borderlands, and when I first started writing it I was really excited, but I played so much borderlands that I got burnt out on it and the project was no longer appealing. If this gets enough attention I may put more work into it.
"Hurry up slowpoke. Come on Mr. Bubbles, we will miss all the fun!". Eva looked up at the hulking monstrosity referred to by the locals as a 'Big Daddy', the products of science that were men fused inside of bulky deep sea diving suits. But to the Little Sister, he was a large, well dressed, handsome man, with ocean blue eyes that were kind, a perfect smile, muscular body and a caulsed, rugged and strong hand. She tried pulling him along through the blood splattered halls outside Fontaine Fisheries. Of course, in the mind of the Little Sister the blood instead appeared as elegant drapes. But as a whale passed by the wall of windows to her left she briefly saw the world for what it was and stopped, but soon shrugged this off. "Silly daddy is slow.". She pokes him softly and he lets out a soft rumble. Unfourtunantly this attracts the attention of some splicers down the hall.
The first one tilts his head at the Big Daddy lumbering down the hall and his eyes lock on the little sister. "Look fellas, some tasty tasty Adam. Who wants to tangle with metal daddy?". Another, this one female, picks up her shotgun taking a step back "I wont tangle with no metal man, no. Im a lady, I dont sully my hands with such matters. You go gank the beast and we share the Adam.". "Im not gonna throw down with that freak" said the other, checking his cylinder on his revolver for the 7th time in the last five minutes to yet again find it full. "If we all jump 'em then we kill 'em we can share the girl amongst ourselves" said the third, who up until now had not been involved in the conversation. The Nitro picks up his box of grenades and grins "Big Daddy don't stand no chance."
The nitro threw a grenade at the Big Daddy catching him off guard, the explosion barely makes him stumble however, and he pulls the Little Sister up on his shoulder. Eva screams "Make him pay, Mr. B!". The daddy rushes at the group of splicers, despite taking a shotgun blast to the head and two revolver shots to his right shoulder. He charges into the woman, knocking her down. He then grabs her up by her head and throws her at the nitro who was retreating towards a set of stairs. The nitro is pinned down under the body of the woman, then the daddy sprints over, stomping on and killing both of them. However, the nitro pulled the fuses on his grenades shortly before and the explosion from his grenade box blasts the hulking tank into the opposite wall, hitting the metal door, busting through it into the room and landing on a vending machine. Eva stands slowly, seemingly unharmed, and walks to her dead daddy, tugging helplessly on his arm and crying out "Mr. B! No!"
Angel looks up suddenly. "Sir, you will not believe this, or like this.". Jack growls in frustration through the speaker on the monitor "What is it now, Angel?". "It would appear that your final ace in the hole has, well, vanished. Krieg was in a fight with a group of bandits, then an anomoly that I cannot quite understand happened, then just like that he was gone." "What do you mean you don't know what happened? How do you know he is not dead?". She tilts her head at the question moving around data on her holographic keyboard "Well sir, his signal is still resonating from the location of the anomoly. The device that releases that signal is programed to digitally reconstruct anytime it takes substaintial damage and also meant to shut off if Krieg's heart stops and his brain loses functionality, so-" "I know this Angel, I designed the device myself. Damn it... Krieg is supposed to be part of my backup plan. I want you to find out exactly what happened. Now. In fact, do you have footage?" "Yes Jack" "Show me, Im very curious as to how our friend managed his vanishing act."
Salvador pulls his Maliwan slag smg from his ECHO device, wielding it alongside his Torgue assualt rifle and begins showering Bad Maw with explosive and slag bullets. "B is for bullets, bitches!". Most slag shots reflected off but some hit his exposed feet and torso area, where his shield has a gaping hole. Krieg slashed apart one psycho about to leap from above on Maya, who had been near an explosive barrel when Bad Maw first leaped over the drawbridge and began opening fire. From her prone position she shot at Salvador, pelting him with bullets charged with siren energy which helped to heal him as Bad Maw tried to cut down his health. "It's a bad, bad flesh rip that leaves you SCREAMING!" Krieg chuckled at this humor as he hauled Maya to her feet by wrapping one of her arms around his shoulders then wrapping one of his around her waist, then he used his right arm to stab a healing needle into her chest. Her eyes widened then her injured left side healed up at a very rapid pace and she could stand on her own two feet. "Thanks for your assistance".
She turns and phaselocks a maurader sprinting towards Krieg with a shotgun. "Freeze!" He grins and pulls out his axe "I'll slice your eyelids so you can watch the end!". He leaps and cuts the maurader in half diagonally. He then turns to Bad Maw who has been effectively avoiding being massacred by Salvador and rushes towards him, when a grenade Salvador throws is reflected back by Bad Maw bashing it with his shield. The Hyperion grenade flies over Salvador, at Krieg, who attempts to use his buzz axe as a bat to swat it away. "Batter up!". The grenade explodes on contact and after a flash of light, Krieg vanishes.
Eva cries softly "Mr. B... No...". The pistol toting splicer edges towards her slowly "Mmm my yummy yummy Adam treat. Come here little one." As he edges towards her she screams out and hides in a small gap behind the dead daddy. "Go away mean man! Go away!." "Im not going to hurt you, you little twerp. I just want that Ad-aghh". The splicer makes sick choking noises and coughs up blood as he struggles to cling to life. He drops to his knees then faceplants on the floor, a buzz axe sticking out of his back. From her position Eva saw a foot plant firmly on his back and rip the axe out, then there comes a low chuckle. "I made the hurt stop.".
Eva peeks out and sees the strangely disporportionate body of Krieg, his strangely long arms, thin but muscular body, and his mask, one eye staring down at her. He leans down and she slinks back whimpering softly, crying out when he reaches a hand inside her hiding spot. "Come here little FLESHSTEAK! I only want to EAT YOU!". He grabs her arm and drags her out, she tries desperately to pull free, clawing and screaming. -Let her go Krieg. She's innocent. She doesn't deserve to be harmed- "Shut up!" -I swear to you I'll end us both right now-. Krieg reaches down picking up the splicers revolver and slowly puts it to his head. -Its end of the road unless you let her go. Unless you help her. She needs you. She is defenseless alone- Krieg struggles against his inner self but his inner self is winning, the barrel to his temple. "Fine I'll help pretty girl!" The gun clatters to the floor at his feet -Good. Because as many times as we have been shot in the head I actually doubted that would work- Krieg clubs himself in the head with his buzzaxe. "Shut it!". He turns to the Little Sister -Tell her you want to take her home- "We'll go out to the ball game! The fishersnaps will explode into a POPCORN POLOZA!" -Ehh... close enough-
Eva looks at him tilting her head then she giggles "Silly man.". She stands slowly as Maya runs in, Maliwan incendiary SMG in hand. "Krieg, lets keep moving. Oh, you made a little friend. Come here little one." She gets down on one knee and Eva walks over to her slowly, shyly. Maya tilts her head, seeing Eva's yellow eyes, off color skin and her slight wobble. "What kind of place is this? All the people seem to be either horribly ill, or horribly genetically altered." She brushes Eva's hair from her face. Krieg puts a hand on her head "I'll take little daisy to the mary lou zoo!". Maya smiles "Which way is home little one?". Eva giggles and runs out the door, Maya chasing after her "Wait!". Eva giggles giddily "Try to keep up slowpokes!". Further down the hall the sounds of shooting break out and Eva quickly stops, stumbles a little, then retreats to hide behind Krieg.
A splicer runs out the door at the end of the hall but then he is shot by a shotgun that coats his back in corrosive that eats into his flesh slowly. He screams out falling to the ground and Salvador stomps on his head silencing him. He looks up to see Maya and Krieg. "Amigos, que pasa?" Maya smirks "I see you have made yourself at home Sal. After we somehow ended up here, I managed to run across Krieg here. Then Krieg apparently made a friend. But now that the three of us are back together as a unit lets start figuring everything out.". Salvador sits in a chair pulling a cigar from his pocket and biting off one end "Yeah, like where the hell are we? What kind of mierda we got ourselves into compadres?." Maya pulls up the map fuction on her echo device, but the map is blank. She cycles through the Echo devices other functions but finds they are not operational. "Okay, so we are outside of the Echo Net span of service. That's a small start, but one thing is for sure. We aren't on Pandora."
