Amy and Kain had spent most of their time on the trip getting to know each other while Delta sat and meditated, it freaked the two out but Kain started to understand a little more of Delta's unnerving calm but they all fell silent and checked their weapons as they neared one of the last stops to reach Eleanor, 'Fontaine Futuristics'.

"Okay, follow me; I can get you to Eleanor real quick." Said Amy as they walked out, her entire face had exploded in fire shortly after they walked few miles.
"AMY!" yelled Kain as he ran to the wounded woman while Delta shot the rocket turret responsible.

"Come on girl, stay with me, damn why did we leave her helmet there." Said Kain as he tried to treat her wounds to no avail.
"Delta, I need to leave to save Amy, please forgive me and take care of yourself." Said Kain

Delta nodded his head and saw Kain's trembling hand place itself on Amy's chest, they both vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Houdini plasmid, nice. Take care of the girl Kain." Said Delta as he reloaded and carried on his path, there was a single line of thought now. "I am so close, nothing will stop me now, even if I have to walk across the entire ocean floor holding my breath and wrestling sharks I WILL GET TO HER!"

Delta walked patiently but with a pace that wouldn't be slowed. He heard something, something familiar; something he didn't expect to hear again, the voice of Gil Alexander coming from a security bot.

Delta walked on and ran into a few splicers, after disposing of them and walking to a security checkpoint that scanned him, classifying him as dead, he heard something, Gil's voice over the intercom.

"Ah subject Delta, welcome home, Alpha series and looking like you have seen a lot of action now haven't you boy? Ah money well spent now isn't it? Come to think of it I recall one of your associates checked in earlier, I think he's on his way to greet you, HA-HA"

Delta turned around in time to see one of the big daddy's land in the center of the room, he was wearing the same Alpha Series armor as Delta and not the later armor the others were using.
He smiled, finally a challenge, something worth killing after having left Poole live.

The two charged at each other and for the first time since shooting himself, Delta felt like he was in real danger, this replica had just as much, everything as he did, well, there was one thing that Delta had that he didn't; Freewill.

Delta knew that he wouldn't be able to win conventionally, he was in the simplest sense, fighting his mirror image, he had to stop thinking the way he did to win, he had to stop fighting the style he did, he needed to fight in a different way; he needed to fight like Kain would.

He couldn't think of a way how, he had only watched Kain fight alone against a group a few times, not enough to make a accurate style from it. The man had taken cover and quickly returned rivet fire to the other Alpha Series before retreating to a different part of the building.

"If there is one thing that I know about myself it is this, I am a tenacious bastard; this is going to take a long time!"

Delta didn't know just how long it was going to take but he was set on one thing, he was going to kill that copy and go to Eleanor, even if only to free her and see her smile one more time.

Kain and Amy reappeared shortly after they vanished inside what seemed like an old lab.
"Come on babe don't die on me now, I won't let you!" shouted Kain as he started to run through the nearby equipment and chemicals after placing Amy on an exam bed.

"Kain, I, don't think, I'll make, make it" struggled the woman.
Kain looked back at her, there was anger written in his face.
"BE QUIET! I WILL SAVE YOU EVEN IF I HAVE TO IMPLANT YOU WITH ONE OF MY OWN ADAM SLUGS!"

Even near death Amy could do nothing but marvel at Kain, his sudden outburst when she was attacked, the hastily retreat they went through, and now his unending desire to keep her alive, the man himself was even amazed as he continued his searching, Delta had really rubbed off on him.

He found a few sedatives and medical hypos, there was even a few bottles of eve that weren't damaged, he took them and ran straight back to Amy.

When he reached her he couldn't see her breathing. "Amy?" he asked as he put the stuff down quickly, he called her again and still silence. This time he screamed her name and grabbed a piece of shrapnel nearby, slicing his stomach open as he did.

There were several ADAM slugs attached to him stomach lining and they weren't the usual that they found out in the ocean floor, nor was it like the ones in the little sisters, Kain grabbed on and ripped it out of him.

He eyed the slug as it squirmed in his hands; it was a deep blue with bright white dots everywhere and a glowing yellow skeleton.

"Forgive me Amy for what I must do." Begged the man as he forcibly sliced open Amy's stomach and placed the slug inside the lining, it took a few moments for the slug to stop squirming and it bulged for a moment before returning to normal.

"Please, Please don't give up Amy, fight a little longer." Pleaded Kain as he tore parts of his clothing and attached it to a thin piece of metal to sow her wound closed, the ADAM flooding in his system had already healed the damage but he could feel the loss of the slug inside him, he was weaker than before, a lot weaker.

Kain started to administer ADAM from the bottles into Amy's system slowly, trying to get the slug to 'kick start' her, he spent what felt like days, the bottles were empty and he had to filter out his own ADAM to keep going, he tried administering one more dose but when he injected it there was nothing, he dropped the syringe he was using and cried next to Amy, he had failed to save her.

Delta had barely escaped his methodical mirror killer, his ammo was spent and his EVE was gone, so plasmids were out of the question, he didn't even have any drill fuel left.

The man was taking cover in a sealed room, trying to recover but when he looked to his side, there it was, the other Alpha series, it pointed it's rivet gun at him, he was using heavy rivets, Delta knew two things, one, he wouldn't be able to escape, two, he had failed to do as he set out to do.

As Delta sat there, his head fell down to his knees in disappointment.

"All I ever was, was a failure, I failed to protect the one I was made to protect, all I am is a failure, I let Eleanor down, let Kain and Amy down, all I ever will be, is a FAILED MAN!"

Delta cried rivers inside his suit while the other Alpha Series squeezed the trigger.

Somewhere far away from all of them, Sofia sat in her chair smiling, knowing that she had safely disposed of all the threats to her legacy.

"Good bye monsters, from your suffering, paradise will be born."
