Hello everyone, I am back with a new chapter to Bioshock Infinite: Fallout. Now before we start this chapter, there are a one thing I would like to point out. As weasel AKA boundedsumo point out that incest is a relationship between brother/sister. Please note, my friend, you know what I mean when I don't want none of that as a pairing. And as for the chapter, I apologize in advance for having this chapter short. I promise to make longer ones next time. This is just an Intro where Leon goes to Columbia for the first time. I hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 1
Leon jumped out of the Tear and landed on the feet. Looking back at the Tear, he saw it disappear into thin air. Sighing, he looks around to see where he was. The place he was in was like heaven to him. Back in the Capital Wasteland, all life was dead, the buildings were either destroyed or fading away and the sky was green due to the present of radiation. But here, he saw actual green grass, the water beneath him was clean, the buildings were intact and the sky was bright blue. Shaking his thoughts, he starts to recap what just happened a few minutes ago. First, he was so close to death, then he was saved by creepy twins who want to hire him to save a girl and now here he is in a new world. Just what has he gotten himself into?
Looking around, he thought "Wonder where I am?"
As he looks at the statues in front of him, his eyes couldn't believe it. The statues were none other than Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson! Each of them were holding an item in their hands: Franklin had a key in his hand, Washington a sword and Jefferson a scroll. And the way the plates in front of the statues starts with the word 'Father', Leon is lead to believe that whoever built these statues must treat these historic figures like gods!
"Okay," Leon said to himself, "What the fuck did I get myself into?"
Shaking his head, Leon made his way up the stairs. Along the way, he saw people wearing white coats and were praying. But when he saw them, these people paid no attention to them. Shrugging, Leon quickly made his way down the path until he reached a door. On the top of the doors, it read: The Seed of the Prophet shall sit the throne and drown in flame the mountains of men.
"Okay," Leon said, "That is weird."
As Leon reached the doors, he said "But then again, after all I have seen and been through, nothing will surprise me."
Boy was he wrong.
The moment he opens the doors and the light hits his eyes, they readjust to see the wonders in front of him. The Lutece twins did mention that he was going to be in a city, but they forgot to mention one small detail.
Leon then yelled "It's a flying city?!"
It was true: the city of Columbia, as the twins called it, was indeed flying. There were flying building floating above the skies, there were railings and saw carts traveling on them. Looking off on the sides, Leon saw that he was way above the skies and did not see a trace of land below him. When he mentioned about being in heaven, he takes it back. The scenery in front of him was indeed the image of heaven. As he looks ahead, he saw the building in front of him making its way to a bridge.
Regaining his cool, Leon was shocked and said "I can't believe it. This can't be real."
Once the building 'landed' and formed a bridge, Leon walked away from the building and into the streets. Looking at the people around him, Leon saw that they were almost wearing the same style of clothes as him. As he continued to walk, he saw a cart that has a sign that says 'Hot Dogs' on them.
Wanting to get something to eat, Leon walks up to the man selling them and asked "Excuse me sir, how much is for your hot dogs?"
The man laughed and said "My boy, it's the celebration today. They're free!"
Not believing him, Leon said "Don't lie to me."
"No," the man said, "I'm serious. The city paid me in advance to give out free hot dogs. Take as many as you like."
"This is too good to be true," Leon thought, "But, I am hungry."
As Leon took one, he said "Thanks sir."
When he begins to walk away, he looks around to see if anyone is looking. Seeing no one around, he quickly scans the hot dog for any traces of radiation. To his surprise, he found none. After inspecting the food, Leon took a small bit of it and savored the taste. The taste was almost divine to Leon. After eating radiated food in the Capital Wasteland, eating this simple hot dog was like eating something from heaven.
Once he devoured the hot dog, he heard a couple talking. As Leon closes in, one the woman mention the statue in front of them saying that the statue of Comstock should be more divine. Looking at the giant statue in front of him, it was an old man with long beard with a sword in his hand. Walking on the path on the left, he continues to walk down the street and saw children playing with a fire hydrant. When Leon saw a carriage ahead, he walks in front of it and saw mechanical horses.
But Leon shrugs and thought "I have seen better."
As he makes his way, he saw the path closed and saw ships flying through. Leon keeps hearing the phrases 'Lamb' and "Comstock'. Leon then thought "Maybe these people are celebrating this Lamb?"
Once the ships were gone, the bridge appeared and he continues to walk the path. As he was walking, he heard someone say 'Good luck in the raffle'.
"A raffle?" Leon said, "Maybe I can win something."
As he continues to walk, Leon thought "Okay, where am I going to find this Tower."
Out of nowhere, he heard men singing. Looking around, he saw a ship flying close to the edge and there were men singing in union. Impressed with their singing talent, Leon took out a Silver Eagle and throws it at them. Luckily, the men caught it and thanked him. Smiling, as Leon was walking down, he saw more Silver Eagles on the floor. As he picks them up, he wonders what kind of people leaves them around. Once he made it to the clearing, his expression completely changed to shock. He found the place he was looking for: a giant angel statue off in the distance with no way to get there.
As Leon sighed, a voice in front of him said "Telegram, Mr. Kinston."
Looking down, he saw a kid with a card in his hands. Taking the card, Leon hands him a Silver Eagle and the kid left with a smile on his face. Looking at the card, Leon turns it around and read: Kinston STOP. Do not alert Comstock to your presence STOP. Whatever you do, do not pick #77 STOP. R&R Lutece.
"The twins?" Leon thought, "What does this mean? And who the hell is this Comstock?"
Putting the card away, he looks to his right and saw what looks like a fair. When he saw a closed gate, he saw two guards in front of him. When Leon approached them, he said "Excuse me, can you let me through? I need to get to the other side."
One of the guards said "Sorry sir, streets closed for your safety. Try to enjoy the fair."
As Leon nodded, he thought "So much for that. Well, since I am here, might as well enjoy myself. Never been to a fair before."
Wanting to go, Leon made his way to the stairs and made his way. When he looks to his left, he saw what looks like a show. Curious, Leon walks up to it and saw a man on the stand talking while two men were on the ground dressed-up. But what amazed Leon the most was when the two dressed men were using some sort of powers from their bare hands!
When the man on the stand mentions something about Vigors, Leon said "I have got to get me some of that."
Seeing enough, Leon made his way into the fair. Like a kid in a candy store, Leon was amazed at the surroundings. There were tents set up, carts with free food and games. Leon then said "Well…since this girl isn't going anywhere, it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun."
Leon walked up to one of the tents that reads Hit the Devil on it. Seeing the rules, it says to protect the woman and child from the devil three times. Getting himself ready, Leon puts on a glove on his right hand and ready himself. Once the curtains open, he saw a woman holding a child. Looking carefully around, he saw something more behind one of the chairs. Knowing it might be the devil, he aims his glove at them and the glove released a pulse towards them. Seconds later, the 'devil' was floating in the air. Amazed by this glove and what it could do, Leon was feeling excited. After hitting the devil two more times, the man declared him a winner and gave him 50 Silver Eagles as a rewards.
Looking around, he saw another arcade game called Hunt Down the Vox, Leon approached it and saw people shooting guns at human-board targets. The man in front of the booth said "Come one, come all! Shoot down the Vox soldiers and win! Hit Daisy Fitzroy and receive an extra prize!"
One of the men said "It is impossible to shoot them. No one can get the first prize."
Leon smirked and said in a confident way "I'll do it."
The man in the booth said "Looks like we have a brave one here! Go on, my boy! Show us what you got!"
As Leon approached the booth and got the gun, he heard one of the people standing saying "There is no way he is going to win first prize."
Smiling at that, Leon readied his rifle as he heard the bell ring. Seeing three boards pop up, Leon quickly shot all of them down. Once that happened, more boards started to appear. Shooting them one by one, Leon shot them down. As he continues to shoot, he saw the scoreboard and saw the number 10 already. Feeling confident, Leon continues to shoot until he saw a woman picture board moving. Figure it was this Daisy person, Leon quickly aims and shot her in the head. After his time was up, he puts his rifle down and saw his score to be 25.
Smiling at this, Leon thought "Guess my skills in the Wasteland paid off."
The man in the booth said "Well done! Not only have you taken down Daisy Fitzroy, but you broke the record! For that, you will be handsomely rewards! Take it, you earned it."
Seeing his reward, Leon got almost 100 Silver Eagle! After getting his reward, Leon looks at the people, who had their mouth opened, and said "As you were saying?"
Continuing to look around, Leon found another shooting booth. After playing it, he broke the record and got 80 Silver Eagles. Laughing at his achievements, he has to admit it, Leon was having fun. Seeing a stand giving out free food, Leon took a few hot dogs, some cotton candy, popcorn and some soda. After he had his fill, Leon looks around again and he saw something that caught his eyes. He saw a half man/half machine person on a stage. Apparently, it was called a Handyman. From Leon's view, it looks like a man merged with a Power Armor. Which was cool.
After he saw that, Leon continues look around until he saw a green tent with a woman holding green bottles. When the woman saw him, she said "Excuse me, sir. Have you ever lost a penny to a vending machine? Has a phone ever not connected you to a beloved spouse? Well, it's time to take back control from the men of metal!"
Interested, Leon walks up to her and asked "So what are you selling?"
The woman replied "I'm selling Possession Vigor, sweetie. If you drink it, you'll know how to use it."
When she said Vigor, that caught Leon's attention. Seeing the display earlier, maybe Leon can learn a few things. Who knows, maybe learning these Vigors can help him in the Wasteland. Wanting to have some, Leon gave her a playful smirk and said "Alright sweetheart, how much for one?"
Hearing his compliment, the woman blushed and said "Normally it would sell it. But for someone as handsome as you, consider this one on the house."
"Oh holy shit," Leon thought, "That actually worked."
As the woman handed him one, Leon got it and said "Thanks."
Looking at the bottle, Leon saw that it was a green bottle that has a picture of a heart with a sword through it, the top of the bottle was carved to look like a woman on her back, giving off that seductive look, with the heart coming out of her chest. Taking the heart-shaped top, Leon gulped down the green liquid. The liquid almost tasted like a mixture of cola and mint. After he drank it, his vision started to blur until he saw the woman. She then started to trace a green heart in the air, and left a green outline. Leon use to use drugs like Med-X, Psycho and Buffout, but the effects of those drugs were nothing compare to this!
In a seductive voice, the woman said "With just a whisper, they're all ears."
After she blew an air kiss, Leon's vision started to clear up. Shaking his head, Leon thanked the woman and saw the bottle that was in his hands. Apparently, if he uses his new found Vigor, Leon would have to find things called Salts to recharge his Vigor. Throwing away the bottle, Leon walked up to a machine vender that was blocking his way. Deciding to test out his new abilities, Leon held out his left hand, and to his surprise, he released a green blast at the machine. The vending machine started to act up and the doors open.
Leon looks at his hands and thought "So now I have the ability to control machines? That…is…awesome!"
Admiring his new abilities, when Leon walked through the doors, he saw Rosalind and Robert standing there. Seeing his employers, Leon walks up to them and said in an excited way "Hey guys! Can you believe this place?! This place it amazing!"
"It is good to see you having fun," Rosalind said.
"But you do have a job," Robert said.
Leon said "I know, I know. Seriously, where am I?"
Rosalind replied "We told you that you are in Columbia."
Robert then said "In the year 1912."
Raising an eyebrow, Leon remembered the card and said "So…why don't you guys want me to do the raffle and get 77? Think something bad will happen?"
Rosalind then said "You see this place as heaven in your view."
Robert then said "But this place is filled with dark secrets that you are unaware of."
Curious, Leon said "And how do you know all this? Is there something you're not telling me?"
Robert looks at his sister and said "See? I told you he is a stubborn one."
Shaking her head, Rosalind looks at Leon and said "Rest assure, Mr. Kinston, we are on your side."
Before Leon could say anything, someone bumped behind him. Looking back at the person who bumped into him, when Leon looks back, he saw the twins gone. As Leon looks around to find where they are, Leon shrugs and continues to walk.
"I don't get it," Leon thought, "This place is so peaceful, what dark secrets could this place have?"
Then again, not everything is what it seems. From the travels he has been in, Leon knew the feeling too well. He then thought "Maybe the twins are right. Maybe there is something going on and I don't know it yet."
As he was walking down the streets, he saw a picture-sign up ahead. Curious, Leon walks up to it and observed it. From the looks of it, it had the picture of a hand with claws at the end with a 'V' mark on the hand. The letters on the sign reads: You shall know The False Shepherd by his Mark!
The blood from Leon's face was drained until it was pale. Looking down on his right hand, Leon pulled up the sleeve to find a 'V' scar on back of his hand! He got that scar when Autumn was torturing him to give him the code to Project Purity. In result, Autumn gave him that 'V' scar to 'persuade' Leon to give up to code.
In fear, Leon thought "This can't be a coincidence. No wonder why the twins don't want me to draw attention."
Hiding his scar, Leon continues to walk down the path. Once he got to the place where the raffle was held at, he saw the angel statue in the distance. Looking around, Leon was trying to find a way to get there. But walked around the area, he saw places closed off and cops guarding it. As Leon was walking around, he still can't get the False Shepherd idea out of his mind. If people around him saw the scar in his hand, they would freak out, or worse, try to kill him. Not that Leon would think these people would try to kill him, but these alternatives are open. Taking out the picture of the girl, Leon examine it and starts to wonder.
He then thought "What makes you so special? Why would the twins hire me to save you? Is this place not what it seems?"
Looking around, all Leon could see are kids playing happily on the streets, people having a good time and there was not a single trace of crime anywhere. Leon couldn't help but feel uneasy at this. Looking at the crowd of people, Leon thought about it and decides to do the raffle. So long as he doesn't pick #77, there was nothing to worry about.
Leon then thought "What can go wrong?"
Unknown to Leon, he was in for the ride of his life.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Yes, I had Leon have a little fun before the action starts, I wanted him to have a time of peace before things start moving along. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will see you all later.
