A/N: The Tale of Delta edited slightly and re-uploaded for the better.
"Let see here," Delta said to himself walking up to the vent, "I think it's this one."
With his massive fist he hit the vent twice, then a little girl crawled up so she was poking out. She had short brown hair, glowing little eyes, she was adorable, well then again most little children are. She looked back and grabbed something.
"Look daddy, it's you." She said cheerfully.
The little doll she was holding did look like him, or at least it looked like the Alpha series big daddy that he was. It was made of old rags, string, and a little metal that made the drill.
"Wow," Delta said, looking at her smile hidden underneath his helmet, "that's wonderful sweetheart, am I looking at the next Sander Cohen?"
The girl giggled, and Delta lifted her out of the vent and set her on the grabbed Delta's hand.
"Let's go out to play daddy." She said eagerly
"Okay, okay." Delta laughed, "let's go."
They walked down the glass hall of Rapture, Delta looked out and saw his reflection.
'Wow, this suit makes me look huge.' He thought
She let go of his hand and ran off, no doubt she found the scent of an 'angel'.
"Hey slow down, Elli." Delta said going after her. He turned right and went up the stairs and found her finishing off harvesting the ADAM from a dead drank what was in the vail and let out a tiny burp, then giggled. She took a quick whiff of the air and smiled.
"More angels daddy, this way." She said signaling for him to follow.
Delta rolled his eyes and followed, and saw she went through the New Year's party. He walked through a crowd of people and started down a hall looking for were his daughter suddenly he heard her scream. He ran toward her scream. He stood on the balcony and saw for thuggish 'splicers' surrounding her.
"Easy now little girl." One said hostilely, "Just give us the Adam and you won't get hurt."
He pulled the syringe from Eleanor and knocked her over.
"Don't you fucking touch my daughter!" Delta said leaping from the balcony onto a splicers head.
"You want some big guy?" One splicer said glowing blue with his recharged plasmids. He shot Delta with an Electro-Bolt. Delta pulled out and started up his drill.
"Who's first?" Delta asked mockingly.
The one with a lead pipe tried to strike Delta, but ended up getting a drill put through him. The women came at him next, he hit her with the drill which cause her to go flying back.
"Get out of here, freak!"
Delta turned to the last splicer and hit him with his drill, not hard enough to kill him. Delta tried again to hit the man, but he rolled out of the way. Delta was about to strike a killing blow when the splicer hit him with a green plasmid ball. His vision blurred; he then saw Eleanor standing there and then heard footsteps.
"There, he's perfectly safe now." A blonde haired woman said grabbing Eleanor by the arm.
"Leave my daughter alone." Delta said trying to get over the plasmids effects.
"This is not your daughter," She said shooting him an iced look, "Do you understand? Her name is Eleanor and she is mine. Now kneel, please."
Unable to control his body, Delta obeyed.
"Remove your helmet." She ordered
Delta did as she demanded. His face which looked better than most big daddy's hit the open air. He had one large scar across his face, his skin dyed a dark green, his eyes glowed yellow, same as Eleanor's.
"Now take the pistol and point it at your head."
Delta was trying as hard as he could but he was forced to obey, Eleanor watched in horror as her father, who was breathing heavily and helpless to the plasmids effects.
"Fire." The women said with a twisted smile.
The last thing Delta heard was a gunshot ring out and hear Eleanor scream "DADDY!"
o.0.o
Delta was unconscious until he heard crackling from his radio, and faintly heard a women with a German accent. Delta groaned as he arose, rubbing his head. Then he noticed the dent in his head where he was forced to shoot himself.
"What shouldn't I be dead?" He said, then he turned around, "Aw the Vita-Chamber, that explains alo... wow."
He was in awe at how 'over-grown' rapture had become. And he was bewildered by the 'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon!' sign written on the wall.
"The hell does Babylon have to do with this?"
"It doesn't." A voice said from the darkness
"Who's there?" Delta demanded, Drill ready for the worst.
"Oh right allow me to introduce myself," The voice said as his body walked out from the shadows. Delta could tell he was a splicer, that's all he saw so with his opposite hand he pushed him back against the wall ready to strike.
"WAIT, Wait! I'm not a splicer!" He whimpered.
"Funny, you look like a splicer to me." Delta Said
"Okay so I'm an ex-splicer," He said to the metal clad behemoth, he then noticed the symbol on his hand, "Hey could I get a look at that symbol that's on your hand."
"Why?" Delta wondered, still pinning the, he guessed 18-year-old, to the wall
"Will you let me go, first I have no weapons, I'm out of EVE so I can't use my plasmids, Just let me have a look, I just want to check something."
Delta reluctantly put him down and showed him the Greek symbol Delta on his hand. The teen's eyes widened.
"You're Subject Delta?" He inquired
"Yes, I am." Delta responded.
"You," He said silently," You are the one Eleanor sent me to find."
"Eleanor?"
"Eleanor Lambe." He said, "Her mother is that psycho bitch Sofia Lambe."
"You know Eleanor, my Eleanor?" Delta asked anxiously, "Is she alright? What happened to her? So, help me god if you did anything to her-"
"Hey, calm down," He said, "I would never do anything to hurt Eleanor, at least not intentionally. Her mother, that demonic bitch, has been using her as an experiment for the past ten years."
"If she's in trouble I'm going to save her." Delta said re-attaching his helmet
"Right behind you."
"By the way who are you?" Delta asked.
"Nathaniel, my friends call me Nathan or Nate."
So, Delta and Nathaniel move forward, into the Adonis Luxury Resort. They got to the pool room were the saw and heard a creature shriek and then do back flips off of statues, causing one to fall over into the empty pool.
"Damn Big Sisters." Nathan cursed, "Always have to show off with back flips, cartwheel, and shit. Well Delta we need to figure out how to kick start this generator here so we can get to Eleanor."
"How do you Know Eleanor anyways?" Delta asked
"Long Story, I'll explain later." Nathan said, Now if my map is correct there should be a gatherer's garden in the next room."
After dealing with a random splicer they got to the garden and Delta grabbed his head, and groaned.
"You okay Delta?" Nathan asked him.
"Yeah I'm fine just a little uneasy, that and I think Eleanor was trying to contact me through the link I have with her." Delta explained
"Alright, That makes sense, think fast." He said throwing Delta the vial for the Electro blot Plasmid.
Delta injected the needle in to his arm then he fell to the ground as his body was adjusting to the plasmid. When he looked up he saw a little sister smiling at him.
"Daddy was asleep for such a long time," She said," And Eleanor has missed you find her and you'll be all better."
Suddenly she was scooped up by a big sister who ran off with her. Delta and Nathan ran after her.
They got back to the pool and there was a splicer standing on the edge of said pool, which lead to a twenty foot drop. For some reason he was singing and quoting the bible.
"Okay," Delta whisper, "What are we gonna do?"
"You shittin' me?" He whispered angrily," Just whack him with your drill."
"Oh yeah!"
Delta snucked up behind the splicer, and whacked him in the back, causing him to fall to the bottom of the drained pool. Delta fired a bolt of electricity at the generator. The room light back up, and the door to the left of them opened.
"Well that was easy." Nathan said
"And now that you said that," Delta said, "we'll have to fight a Big Sister. Just watch."
They walked into an open room, killed two splicers, and Delta found a rivet-gun.
"When do I get a gun?" Nathan asked sounding irritated.
Then a splicer took aim with a revolver, Nathan quickly froze him with the winter blast. He walked up to the frozen then snapped off the arm that held the pistol.
"I'll take that," Nathan said mockingly, "oh and thanks buddy." He hit the frozen splicer, which fell, hit the ground and shattered into tiny pieces.
They kept going until they got to the lounge of the Adonis and found a little sister.
"Hello little one," Delta said kneeling to the child's level, "what are you doin-"
There was a sudden high pitch scream.
"Big Sister doesn't want you playing with me." She said saddly.
"I told you." Delta said.
"Oh shut up, Delta!" Nathan snapped at him.
Then suddenly the big sister jumped and tackled delta. Nathan acting quickly pulled her helmet off and punched the big sister in the eye. She stumbled back gripping her eye.
"OW!" She screamed "WHAT THE FUCK, YOU BASTERD!"
"Hey you were going to attack us." Nathan stated.
"You still shouldn't hit women, Nate." Delta told him.
"Thanks grandpa, but I can fight my own battles." The big sister said to Delta.
"Who you calling 'grandpa' you little brat."
"I'm sorry I didn't hear that 'big-fatty'"
"Bitch."
"Cock-sucker."
"Slut!"
"Pedophile!"
"Alright lets everyone just calm the fuck down." Nathan siad.
"STAY OUT OF IT!" Delta and the sister said.
Delta and the Big sister got ready to fight, Nathan and the little sister hid behind a counter. Then came a series of crashes, screams and rumbling. Nathan started talking to the little sister to pass the time.
"So," Nate started, "how's life going for you?"
"Okay, I guess." She said
"You guess?" He asked as she shook her head. "Well what's wrong?"
"There's nobody to play with anymore."
"Do you know how to play 'go fish' young one?"
"Yeah." she said happily."
"Then let's play." Nate said.
They sat there and played cards for a little bit, then both Delta came around to the counter taking a break from the fight. Delta grabbed some Old Tom Whiskey, the Big Sister grabbed a Hop-Up Cola, they were both sweeting, then looked over to see Nathan and the little sister playing card games. The Little sister was laughing and giggling, Nathan was smiling.
"What are you two doing?" The Big Sister asked, wiping the sweat from her brow.
"Playing Go-Fish." The Little Sister said to her.
"And she's winning mind you." Nathan said showing the piece of paper with the total wins in pairs.
"Well I got to go, come on little sis." Big Sister said.
"What?" Delta asked, "Come on We aren't finished yet."
"Sorry," She said, scooping her younger counterpart up and putting her in her basket on her back, "but maybe next time we can finish the fight."
"Wait, Can I at least get your name?" Delta asked her.
"Krystal." She said.
"Bye, Nate." The Little Sister said waving good bye to her new friend.
"Bye, Kyla." Nathan said waving to her.
Krystal broke some coral that was blocking the arch way and left. Delta smacked Nathan in the back of the head.
"What was that for?" Nathan demanded.
"One, for hitting a woman," Delta said, "And two you didn't help me in the slightest."
Nate faced palmed. They scavenged some supplies and a dive suit for Nathan so they could travel through the water. They kept moving to get to Eleanor.
