Author's Notes: Hello again! As promised, here is the next chapter of this story!

After the long author's notes for the previous one, I'll keep this one short and sweet.

This chapter sees the teens, specifically Cody, dealing with having to use a gun. Since a vital gameplay mechanic in Bioshock is the use of guns along with Plasmids, this can't be avoided if this is to be a true crossover. However, none of the four teens have ever used a real gun before. Let's see how the first attempt to use one goes.

Here's the tenth chapter of "Total Drama Raptured": Charlie and Brenda

They stopped for a moment after entering to study the place they had just entered.

The Kashmir was in horrible condition; blood, dirt, and rubble littered the restaurant's floor. Party hats and masks were littered about throughout. More noticeable than that, though, were two signs, one a poster and the other neon. The poster had a picture of a man wearing a bunny mask just like the one the splicer "mother" had worn. It was promoting a masquerade ball to celebrate the New Year. The neon sign was a large circle the size of the teens, proclaiming what New Year this was: HAPPY NEW YEAR 1959.

This furthered what Noah had discovered earlier, that this place was over sixty years old! For the other three, though, this was new news and they were properly floored by it.

After looking at each other, they disregarded this and started to search the restaurant. As they did, they noticed that a horribly familiar tune was playing through the speakers. While upbeat, it was the song, "If I Didn't Care", which that first splicer had been humming when she gutted Johnny. The teens cringed at remembering that first horror.

Noah had already begun the search. It was he who first realized this place's layout.

The eatery was split between two levels with the four teenagers currently on the second floor. To his left was a balcony overlooking a large eating area with a strange fountain/statue of Andrew Ryan in the middle. The floor was slightly lower that the rest and covered with three inches of water as no one has shut off the fountain for some time.

Near the edge of the balcony Noah found another first aid kit on a red velvet chair. There was nothing else of value up here, whatever was before had been picked clean already.

While the others searched, Cody couldn't help but stare at the pistol in his hands. He marveled at the weight of it. Before this, the closest he had gotten to this pistol was the paintball gun that he had held but never used before being mauled by that bear on TDI. Even then, that gun was mostly plastic with only as little metal…and it fired paintballs. He'd never held a real gun before. He didn't know how heavy their metal weight was. Something he did know, thanks to him checking the gun's ammo, was that it wouldn't fire paintballs. It would fire bullets…real bullets that would maim, and wound, and kill.

Similarly to when he picked up the pipe from a splicer (which he hadn't used yet), Cody cringed at the thought of using this gun. Would he even be able to use it? Would he find it within himself to pull that trigger and bring that tiny metal hammer upon the bullet? And just as importantly, if he did, would he able to have the bullet actually hit the foe?

For all of his knowledge of technology, this was one piece of tech he knew nothing of. He felt the same sense of fear and dread that some elderly people feel using a computer. Cody's mind dreaded him having to use it while knowing that he would have no choice.

As the teens decided to travel down a set of stairs leading down, that time for Cody came.

While traveling down the stairs, to what was actually the fourth level of this building, the four teens heard something; they heard an argument between a man and a woman. The man was banging angrily on closed doors that lead to the Kashmir Restaurant's kitchen.

"You really did it this time Brenda! I'm not some kinda sap! You want this ugly or do you want this nice? I can do it either way. Open the damn door!"

From the other side of the door, the teens, still standing on the stairway unnoticed by this male splicer, heard a woman splicer bark at the man splicer in a very venomous tone.

"I'll do what I want, Charlie! It's my ADAM; I earned it!"

Despite the fear in his belly, Cody decided that it was time to test his skill with the pistol.

With his hand shaking, Cody tried to aim the gun's barrel at the distracted splicer's head. Nearly closing his eyes from the shock of the pistol's recoil, Cody fired at Charlie's head!

The bullet completely missed, it wasn't anywhere near Charlie.

'Clumsy!' Cody shouted angrily at himself for his failure.

As Charlie was turning his head to face the teens at the top of the stairs, Cody fired again.

The bullet, while a little closer, still failed to hit Charlie.

'Pathetic!' Cody says as he scolded himself mentally once again for his failure.

Charlie had noticed the teens and was rushing towards them. As started to turn the bend that would bring him to the bottom of the stairway, he shouted, "Give me my ADAM!"

Cody fired again, doing better by actually hitting Charlie, his right shoulder anyway.

'Doddering!'

With Charlie at the bottom of the stairs, something started to awake within Cody. What it was he couldn't explain, it was as if his body was entering an autopilot, acting on its own. His hands shook less then time when Cody pulled the trigger at the charging Charlie.

This shot actually made Charlie stop in his tracks. But only for a moment because Cody had blown off three fingers from Charlie's left hand.

'Helpless!'

At a total loss to explain what was happening to him, Cody let the autopilot take over. With his mind calmer than it ever should have been in a situation as dire as this, Cody allowed his arm to angle itself and his finger to push down on the pistol's trigger again.

For a very brief second, it looked like Cody was successful as Charlie stopped totally. But then Cody realized why, he had shot Charlie in his throat…again missing his head.

Staunching the blood from his neck with his nearly fingerless left hand, Charlie kept charging at Cody while still trying to scream about how the ADAM Brenda had was his.

'Useless!'

Cody had all but given up when suddenly Charlie froze while his body glowed bright blue. Turning his head to his right, he saw Gwen with her hand extended and fingers sparking. His dream girl had used Electro bolt to save his life…for the second time.

Well, technically, it wasn't saved let since Charlie, despite being in crippling pain, wasn't dead. The teens could guess that the Electro bolt would likely wear off very shortly.

But Cody wasn't going to make them have to find out. He raised the pistol yet again. His breath was deep before stopping for a few moments. Sweat started to drip from his pores. Still holding his breath, Cody fired the last of his pistol's bullets at the paralyzed Charlie.

Finally, the bullet found its mark. Charlie developed a single red poppy between the eyes. As the blood started to pour out of the bullet hole, Charlie fell onto his back on the stairs. Thanks to the basic gravity of his elevation, Charlie fell backwards and rolled downward. The steps his body had fallen onto until before hitting the floor had faintly mangled his limbs.

The teens stood in shock at the display, Cody more so than any of the others. He had, after more attempts than he would have preferred to admit, just shot a person to death.

Even so, Cody found himself turning to face Gwen as he says, "Thank you, Gwen."

The Goth (despite her natural tendencies) smiled at the Tech Geek. "Your welcome. But its not needed Cody. As odd as this sounds for a compliment, it was you who shot him."

Despite knowing how messed up that sounded, Cody couldn't help but chuckle at that. He hoped that whenever he had to use this gun again, he'd focus on that instead of the killing, the fact that Gwen was still alive and able to make witty comments like that.

Of them, the first person to react to Charlie was Noah, who started searching his corpse. He found nothing but ten crumbled up dollars that had Andrew Ryan's picture on them. Noah counted nine one-dollar bills and a twenty-dollar bill. The Bookworm logically assumed that they were the currency of this place. Rapture dollars, if you will. Despite not thinking they would be of any use, Noah put them in his pocket anyway out of habit.

When he looked up, he noticed the others looking at him like he had grown an extra head.

"What? We didn't search the last five corpses we saw. We can't afford to forget that." Noah says, slightly irate at why the others were so puzzled by his searching of Charlie.

Cody, Courtney and Gwen might have answered Noah if not for hearing something.

"Charlie? Charlie, where ya gone!" Brenda's shrill voice from behind the door shouted.

The locked doors opened and the teens saw a female splicer wearing a white cat mask. While the teens couldn't see her expression, they guessed that she saw Charlie's body.

"NO! Charlie!" Brenda shouted in shock and anger as she raised her pistol at the teens.

Acting quickly, the teens broken off and each took cover as Brenda fired at them.

Cody would have attempted to fire but he had used all six of his pistol's bullets already.

Noah, thinking quickly, shouted at two of his fellow teens that were slightly closer to Brenda. "Cody, zap her! And Courtney, whack her! Remember, the one-two punch!"

Despite his fear, Cody leapt out from behind the cover and hit Brenda with Electro bolt! As the Tech Geek was using an EVE hypo to get ready if needed again with some difficulty, Courtney leapt like a tiger from her hiding spot towards the frying Brenda. Leaping into the air, Courtney brought down her pipe on Brenda with all of her might!

Brenda collapsed to the ground with her head smashed in like a rotten watermelon.

The Type-A Girl was breathing heavily, still in shock over killing someone again. The others slowly came out of their hiding places after that realized that Brenda was dead. Courtney was staring out into space, possibly because of her starting to lose it again.

However, she then felt a hand fell on her shoulder. Looking to her right, she saw Gwen. Seemingly slightly surreal, Gwen was actually smiling again (no doubt a new record for the Goth who normally fought hard against smiling), proud of Courtney's success. The C.I.T. smiled back, thankful that she was able to save these people and help them get out.

While Gwen comforted Courtney, Cody searched Brenda's corpse. He found fifty-six Rapture dollars, nine rounds of ammunition for a pistol, and the pistol she had used. After a few moments of debate within the group, the second pistol was given to Noah. While the Bookworm had never held a gun before, he had read a few books about how they work. He was hoping that would be enough for him to learn how to use one quickly.

After giving Noah four of the nine pistol rounds Cody had found on Brenda, the four teens entered the kitchen that she had locked herself in. It was appalling to say the least. It was barely lit and every visible surface was covered in thick grime, blood, or both.

Not wanting to stay in this crammed space for every long, they searched it quickly. Gwen had found another seven Rapture dollars. Courtney found another EVE hypo. Cody found a first aid kit. Noah didn't find anything, and didn't have much desire to here.

They found another doorway that opened automatically. They eagerly crossed through it.

And there you have it. Cody's first attempt with a gun was successful…eventually.

Also, for those of you who don't know, Charlie and Brenda are unique splicers. What makes them unique is that, aside from Rose (the female hooked handed splicer, or spider splicer as will be revealed later, that was the first one seen), these are the only two splicers with individual names who have no effect on the story whatsoever. So it seemed oddly fitting to name this chapter after this crazy quarrelsome couple.

And these two show a very insightful observation. Even in a hell on Earth where the laws of nature have been rapped, where society and sanity have fully crumbled…the endless, bitter arguments between men and women in relationships will never die! :)

Anyway, the next chapter is partially written but I'm unsure when it'll be posted.

Until then, please read, review, favor, fellow, and spread the word!
