"Judge not a man by his origins or by how his life is ended. But by the works and deeds that were done in his life."
Deep beneath the sea, unknown to all but a few lays a city of great marvels. In it's time it was a shining jewel of art, science and culture. Now, it is but a dying relic. It has become a testament to the will of one man and his dream, of how that dream was corrupted, and the innocent lives that were destroyed because of it.
Within the crumbling tunnels and darkened halls a pair of shoeless feet quickly patters down the dank pathways, desperate to find sanctuary. The tired and scratched feet belong to a young girl, maybe eight or nine years of age, he dark hair laying matted against her face and head, her eyes glowing a hazy yellow with no discernable pupils. This is not your average girl; no she is a Little Sister. And right now she is very frightened.
Pausing to catch her breath she carefully turns back the way she came. From the hall she can hear the muffled shrieks of death, the roar of gunfire, and the screech of her protector as he fights the people who now hunt her. These people were once normal people, they did normal things such as eat breakfast, go to the bathroom, and even love one another. But those days are long passed. For now they are Splicers, the cruel maniacs who roam the streets of Rapture looking to the smallest taste of ADAM to quench the burning in their veins. And to this Little Sister these people are more dangerous then the crushing pressure outside.
Soon the sounds of battle cease and the little one bites her lip in fear. Has her guardian fallen to the Splicers? No, she decides as she shakes her head, she knows that her protector is stronger then that. She smiles as she waits patiently for him to come to her, softly singing the song that echoes through her mind. Maybe after all this BB will take her to the place with all the books, she likes those books. Her favorite is one about the small man with the furry feet. But through all this she misses the clanging sound of hooks on the ceiling. The smirking Spider slowly moves towards her and carefully drops to the ground. The sound of the long lanky man hitting the floor causes the little one to spin around in fright. The Spider doesn't care, her guardian isn't here and he'll hear him coming long before he arrives.
"Shush little one….don't be scared. I just want a little bit of what you've got." the Spider cackles as he turns his hooks in his hands.
"NO! GET AWAY! BB! HELP ME BB!" the little one screeches at the top of her lungs.
With a snarl the Spider smacks her hard and sends her skidding across the floor, a small trickle of blood oozes down her cheek from his hook.
"Oh goodie for me my sweet! ADAM!" Spider coos happily as he licks the blood off his hook.
But as he does this his expression, if any ability to do so remains on his flesh sagging face, changes to that of rage of someone cheated.
"No, this isn't right. You haven't been doing your job! You haven't been gathering ADAM YOU LITTLE….." but what he says quickly becomes irrelevant as the air is broken with the screech of anger and rage of a new player to this scene.
Spider quickly turns to face the newcomer, expecting something much different from what he gets. Standing there is what appear to be a young boy, maybe a year older then the Little Sister, and like her his eyes glow pupil less yellow. His clothes stained dark red and in his hands a spear gun loaded and pointed.
"What the….." but once again Spider never finishes his sentence as the young boy fires a single shot straight into his open mouth.
Leaving a trail of blood and drool behind him Spider slams against the wall and hangs there like someone's discarded dirty sock. Spider of course is dead before he hits but his body twitches as slowly the blood pools beneath him.
The young man picks himself up off the floor from the recoil of the spear gun and carefully makes his way over to the Little Sister. With all the gentleness of brother helping his sister to her feet he lifts the little off the floor. Her eyes light up with joy as she wraps her arms around him, tears streaming down her face.
"BB! My BB! You saved me just like always! I knew you would! You're my invincible Big Brother and nothing can stop you!" she sobs as he puts his arms around her to comfort her fears away.
But all too soon the moment is interrupted by the sound of clapping. BB, as he's called, quickly spins to face the sound; ready to die for his charge if he must. But today seems to be a day for the unexpected in Rapture, for while BB was expecting a Splicer what he got was a woman in a suit. Everything about this woman seems to be of elegance and refinement, but despite her appearing sane BB still let's loose his warning screech.
"Very good Omega, I am impressed with your abilities. Not even our strongest could stall you for long. You are the pinnacle of the Armored Escorts Program, despite the fact you are hardly armored at all," she says with a smile as she slowly walks towards the duo.
BB snarls angrily and raises his spear gun; whoever this woman is she is an enemy and there is only one way to deal with them. But this time it is not to be as his charge screams in fear once again. Not stopping to this BB whips around and fires, his sudden shift in balance the only thing that saves the Splicer gripping the little one from a sudden and painful lobotomy. BB slams against the floor and takes aim, but for naught as the second attacker throws a green glowing ball in his face. He coughs at the ball turns into smoke and begins to fill his lungs. The world around him begins to shift and spin as he desperately tries to shake off the effects of the attack.
"Hmmmm, he's resisting even this. Omega will be quite useful to us, once his reconditioning has occurred," the woman says peering down at the dazed and helpless BB.
"But miss, he's not like the others. He's always with this one Sister and we can't kill her. She's the last one in the whole city," the Splicer whimpers skirting away from BB as if he will get up and attack at a moment's notice.
"True. Have him clapped in irons and taken to the other side of the city. That should keep him docile enough for us to attempt to recondition him like his larger associates." the woman says as she turns and walks away, the little one dragged in tow behind her.
"But of course Dr. Lamb. We shall obey," the Splicer replies as two more appear from the shadows, dragging heavy chains in their wake.
The first Splicer reaches down for BB's spear gun and that was his final mistake as BB wraps his hands around his neck and with surprising strength snaps it like a twig. But BB's final bravado is fruitless as he is struck again and again by the same green balls which sap even more of his strength from him. As darkness threatens to overcome him BB throws his head back and let's looses a final soul chilling howl that echoes through the darkness of the ocean.
Meanwhile far away on land a young mono-browed boy wakes with a start….
"Gravy?" He mutters as he sleepily rubs his eyes.
