When everyone arrived delta and I were trying to get one of the pumps started. "Its froze stiff delta we can't make it budge." I said looking up to see the others arriving. "Bruce I missed you so much." Maria said holding me tightly. "I missed you too maria... Well now that we are all together lets get to work." I said and tried to get the pump working. It took two hours before we got the pump working.
"Bruce look at the water it's getting pumped out!" Maria said holding me split up into two groups and went to get the other pumps working. "Delta to Bruce... You there?" I said. In my group was myself ,Maria ,Mark and Shannon. In delta's group was himself, Elena, and Melvin. We almost had all the pumps working when we regrouped at the last pump. I looked at the tube between the buildings and saw a bunch of little sisters. One little sister stood out from the others when she looked up at me and ran up to the window. I thought I lost her and when we were only seperated by glass I dropped to my knees placing my hand on the glass.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I heard maria through the radio. "So that's the little sister you were protecting?" Maria said looking at her with me. "Yes... That's Marie... I thought she died." I said and got up walking over to the last pump and struck the coral to free it and drain the last section of the city. I went back to the glass tube and Marie was standing in the same spot. I motioned for her to go to the neariest airlock.
"Lets go in and reclaim the city." I said and walked to the airlock. When the water was drained and the pressure was equalized the door opened and marie was standing there waiting for me. "Mr. B! Welcome home mr. B!" Marie said holding the doll she made about me. I got on my knees and hugged her and picked her up to ride on my shoulder.
"Marie I was so worried about you." I said walking with everyone through the city and I looked up at her giggling and happy that I returned. "I was scared when you left and flooded the city." Marie said holding on to me. "Marie... Um he has been having nightmares about losing you and I think he is better now that your safe." Maria said tickling her.
"So you really did it didn't you." a brute splicer said as he jumped down from above landing in front of us. "yes I did it so what." I said and set marie down and walked upcto him. "NO! We are not going to fight!" maria said pulling me back. "yeah listen to that bitch and stay out of my way." the brute splicer said turning and walking away. Maria was loosening her grip and I started to see red.
"Tear into him like a mad dog." Maria said letting go of me and grabbed Marie covering her eyes. "Hey brute!" i said impailling him and sending blood and chunks in the air. After the screams stopped Maria uncovered Maries eyes and started shaking. Everyone gave me some space and I walked out an airlock to clean up and scream.
When I walked through the airlock to the open sea the sent of blood was aloft in the water. Everyone else inside rushed to the window and saw something big circling me. "Bruce you need to be careful cause your not alone out there." Mark said through the radio. I turned around to see the shark swimming at me fast.
I tried to hit it but it got my arm first "Fuck!" I screamed as my arm was gone. The others rushed to my side to get me inside. "Doctor! We need a doctor here!" Melvin yelled helping everyone else to carry me over to the medical povilion. Three assistant doctors ran over to us and looked me over. "please remove his helmet for us." one if the doctors said as we went through the doors to the operating room. "Who is the man behind the mask." the head doctor said as Maria removed my helmet.
When the doctor recognized my facehe had to work fast. "His name is Bruce... Please help him." Maria cried holding my helmet. The doctor took off by suit and saw how extencive the damage was. "Bruce I'm going to put you under anistisia and operate on you... Maria dock have your consent." the doctor said and Maria nodded.
The other doctors escorted everyone else out of the room. "We will find you when he is out of the O.R." one of the assistant doctors said and theywalked back into the O.R. Closing the doors behind them. Everyone was waiting in the waking room when a bunch of little sisters ran upcto them. "please to have to help us." one of the little sisters said grabbing Marias hand and pulling her to her feet.
"what's wrong?" Maria said and was walking behind them. "we jeep hearing the same sentence over and over again." one of the little sisters told everyone and it started to get really cold. "the iceman cometh!" someone said and appeared out of no where.
