AN: Sorry for the long wait folks and sorry if I scared any of you into thinking that I wasn't continuing this fic. Anyway, through some trial and error I have been able to brainstorm a multitude of ideas from the various stories I have created and experimented with so expect updates about every couple of days. When I write new stories it doesn't mean that I am abandoning my old ones, it basically means that I have writer's block and that I am trying desperately to get myself out of it. I'm more of an artist than a writer and artist sketch constantly so I guess I unknowing transferred the idea of rough sketches into writing form.
I dearly hope my readers are still out there, I said that I was going to finish all of my fics and I meant it. This story however is still going to be epic length though (If there is one thing that I hate it's a short story…unless its really, really good). Oh and if you all want a clearer picture of what Johnny's armor looks like go to the Bioshock Wiki and type in Minerva's Den. He pretty much looks like a Deco Rosie statue, save for the color. Anyway, I am finally out of my creative, random story posting, slump.
Lets get back to business. Oh and if any of you can give me any tips or ideas to help me out with this story it would be much appreciated, I'm trying to make this fic as long as possible.
"Why Is She Following Me!"
Chapter XIII: Shock To Your System
Johnny scanned the battlefield for any signs of his current foes, he had no idea where they had disappeared to. Sahara was currently sitting atop his shoulders and he had his Rivet Gun attached to his right arm. He was not liking this at all.
"Where the hell did they go…" Johnny muttered under his breath. Johnny kept swiveling his head around wildly, searching for his elusive foes. Unlucky for him he was not at all aware of the inky black skeletal hand with a giant rusted meat hook attached to it, reaching out of his shadow slowly in an attempt to grab Sahara.
Sahara suddenly got a small shiver down her spine and she slowly turned to look behind her.
The decrepit hand was merely inches from her face.
"HOLY SHIT!" Sahara yelled out. Johnny quickly turned behind him and grabbed the gangly limb with his left hand before it could retreat back into the confines of his shadow. Johnny yanked on the limb with all of his might and was finally able to pull out the serpentine like Splicer from it's unusual hiding place. Johnny then proceeded to slam the creature into the ground about five times…he also jumped on its corpse a couple of times and shot a heavy rivet at it just to make sure.
"That thing scared the crap out of me… Hey, wait a minute! Where did you learn that word Sahara?" Johnny asked with a glare. Sahara just whistled some nameless tune and looked around the arena casually.
"I have no idea what you are talking about Daddy…"
"Don't you play dumb with me, you said the S word!"
"…Sex?"
"No, not that word…wait… What the hell are they teaching you kids down here!"
"Ohhh…Daddy said a bad word-LOOK OUT!"
"GAHHHH WHERE!" Johnny unconsciously switched to his Drill and flailed around wildly, not knowing where his opponent was. The Splicer that was planning to sneak attack him from behind got a Drill to the right side of his face and was sent flying towards the far left and into a wall. The Splicer slid down the wall, painfully. The Splicer was badly hurt but still alive.
"Daddy, that meanie said he was planning on stealing my…innocence.' Sahara whispered out.
Johnny gasped in horror.
"WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!" Johnny yelled out as he charged towards the downed Splicer. The Splicer's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, his last words were somewhere along the lines of:
"Well….shit." Johnny then proceeded to stomp on the poor creature and Drill its corpse into oblivion.
"DIE YOU FUCKING CHILD MOLESTER, DIE!" Johnny then set the corpse on fire and hurled it towards the other side of the stadium with his Telekinesis. Sahara smirked mischievously.
"Daddy, I thought you didn't like using Plasmids?" Sahara asked innocently as possible.
"Yeah, well things change! I don't believe it. How could I have been so BLIND! Those fucking child rapists, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL YOU HEAR ME!" Johnny roared out with primal fury. The remaining eight Shadow Splicers that were in hiding were beginning to have second thoughts about taking this guy on.

Up in the stands, Omega was rolling around on the ground clutching at his sides painfully and laughing like an idiot.
"Oh my God, this fight is priceless!" What were the chances that Johnny would be able to hit any opponent by flailing around like a beached whale?
"Hah, hah flail Johnny! FLAIL!" Omega called out between his fits of laughter. Rose just stared at him and shook her helmeted head in disdain.
"Fucking retard…" Rose whispered under her breath.
"Hey, I heard that!"
"…And?"
"…Wow Rose your mean." Omega muttered. Rose just scoffed.
"Would you just tell us about the Shadow Splicers already!" Rose yelled out in aggravation.
"Alright already! Damn, you don't have to bite my head off! Fucking praying mantis." Rose's eyebrow twitched at Omega's last comment but she chose to let it slide…for now.
"Ok, well the Shadow Splicers are supposedly a group of Spider Splicers that have gained access to a unique form of the Teleportation Plasmid. Instead of simply teleporting from one place to another they move through the shadows…literally. The Teleportation Plasmid that they have access to allows them to dissolve into the shadows and move through them. They can enter and exit out of any shadow they choose, even ones cast by living organisms. You can imagine why they are so feared." Rose nodded her head in understanding. Down here in Rapture there were shadows everywhere, this type of Splicer could enter and exit any room they chose and escape Big Daddies with little effort.
"But they have one major weakness." Omega said cryptically. Cherry decided to make her presence known and dropped from the ceiling and onto Omega's head.
"AHHHH, OH GOD NOT AGAIN! GET OFF ME YOU STUPID ASS SPIDER SPLICER!" Omega ran through the rows of seats, waving his arms like a penguin who was trying to fly. Since Cherry had decided to obstruct his view with her hands he was unable to see the Elite Rosie he was headed straight for. Omega bumped into the hyper violent Big Daddy and it immediately turned around to face him, his 'eye' shining a deep greenish yellow in warning.
"Hey buddy, watch where your going!" The Elite Rosie growled out as he pushed Omega back. Omega was still blinded by Cherry and in panic he lashed out at the Elite Daddy with his Drill. The Elite Rosie stumbled back a little but he quickly recovered and glared at Omega, his 'eye' now shining an angry blood red.
"Why you little…" The Rosie brought back his left fist and sent it crashing into Omega's helmet. Cherry had jumped off of Omega just before the blow had connected. Omega was pushed back by the blow and the light yellow glow that was unique to the Alpha Series emitting from his helmet turned a fury orange.
"Why you son of a- you want some of this newbie!" Omega called out as he replaced his Drill with a fully upgraded Double Barreled Shotgun. The Shotgun had a double revolver mechanism equipped that allowed Omega to fire six shots before reloading instead of two. Its barrel was sawed-off to allow an increase in damage. Finally several dynamos were installed on the left side of the Shotgun, the kinetic energy exerted by firing the Shotgun is used to charge these dynamos which results in the gun randomly generating and electric shock when ever it is fired.
"Bring it on grandpa!" The Rosie challenged as he brought out his Production Model Rivet Gun. The Production Model Rivet Gun does not need to be reloaded but it does overheat after repeated firing. Normal Rosie's guns overheat after twelve shots, Elite's guns overheat after eighteen shots.
"Omega, before you engage in this senseless brawl what is the Shadow Splicers' weakness? Rose asked. Cherry skipped to Rose's side.
"That's easy, light!" Cherry revealed.
"The kid is right," Omega revealed "Now, if you will excuse me…" Omega growled and charged at the Elite Rosie, he grabbed the Daddy by his shoulders and head butted him in the helmet.
"Why you…" The Rosie stumbled back, disorientated from Omega's cheap shot and gun butted the Alpha in the helmet.
"YOU SON OF A-"
Rose just shook her head and turned back towards Johnny's match, she absently noticed the spectators trying to watch Johnny's match and Omega's fight at the same time.
'Well, as a certain Leadhead Splicer mechanic would say…'
"This is better than T.V."

"AHHHH, WOAH, GAHHHH!" Johnny was currently running around the stadium like a maniac, firing his fully upgraded Gatling Gun at anything that looked look like a Splicer. The mini gun like weapon's barrels were reinforced to allow increased muzzle pressure and a higher damage output, a stabilization cylinder was added at the end of the gun to reduce the gun's massive kickback, and finally a dynamo installed on the gun's left side produces a high density electrical field that causes bullets to ricochet off of surfaces (not enemies). Even if Johnny missed his target by miles the bullets would ricochet off the walls and kill the Splicer anyway.
"AHHHH THERE EVERYWHERE!" He had just finished off another one of the sneaks with his Machine Gun, the things were tough. They could take about fifty percent more damage than your average Spider Splicer. Johnny heard something land behind him so he took out his Drill…and flailed like crazy!
"DIE YOU SICK FUCK!" Johnny performed an upper cut which sent the Shadow Splicer flying into the air. Johnny quickly released a blast of ice from his left hand which froze the Splicer solid. Johnny got under the Splicer, pointed his Drill skywards and turned it on. The Splicer shattered into chunks of frozen meat. Johnny jumped up in triumph and he thought that he heard somebody yelling out about killing a ball…
'Four down, six to go.'
Johnny pocketed his Drill and brought out a Grenade Launcher. With the Cluster Bomb upgrade installed, each heat seeking rocket, proximity mine, and frag grenade Johnny fired would split into six different projectiles. The Homing Grenade upgrade that Charlie and Tom installed that allowed even his frag grenades to follow his enemies was a plus as well. Two Shadow Splicers appeared on either side of Johnny and closed the distance within seconds. Johnny grabbed the Splicer to his left by the throat and thrower him towards his companion. They crashed to the ground in a heap and Johnny took the opportunity to blow them away with Sonic Boom. They crashed into a wall, disorientated and Johnny quickly fired three heat seeking rockets at them…which ended up being eighteen.
"WHO ELSE WANTS SOME OF THIS!" Johnny yelled out. Three Shadow Splicers answered his question by dropping from the ceiling and onto Johnny's armored hide.
"GET THESE THINGS OFF ME! AHHHHH!" The crowed sweat dropped as Johnny ran like hell around the stadium, flailing his arms about.

"TAKE THIS!" Omega yelled out as he jumped high into the air and came crashing down onto the Elite Rosie. Alpha's might not be as strong as Production Model Big Daddies but they were faster and more agile. The Elite Rosie crashed into the ground and Omega then proceeded to beet the shit out of the guy. The Alpha Daddy's quick strikes and fast jabs were beginning to be to much for the Elite Daddy.
"ALRIGHT FINE, I GIVE!" Omega got up and dusted himself.
"That'll teach you to respect your elders!" Rose just shook her head in embarrassment and Cherry giggled.
"I see that you have all decided to play games rather than fulfill your responsibilities…."
Every Protector in the stadium froze in fear and looked towards the screens that were hanging from the wall in the middle of the stadium.

Johnny had told Sahara to jump off of his shoulders for a second while he rolled on the ground to get the stupid Splicers off of him… They were all crushed to death by the weight of his armor and he quickly threw their corpses off his person in disgust. He quickly put Sahara on his shoulders and turned to his left just in time to see the boss leap from the shadows. They stared each other down for a couple of seconds. Johnny had nothing to say to this creature…but one sentence even if he couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Nine down…one to go." The Shadow Splicer just smirked.
"Lets see if your man enough to take me on."
"I see that you have all decided to play games rather than fulfill your responsibilities…"
Johnny's eyes widened inside his helmet. He knew that voice.
"Sofia Lamb." Johnny growled out.
"I did not want to have to do this but it seems that I am forced to…"
Johnny looked around the stadium and all of a sudden the numerous Big Daddies and Big Sisters started to cry out in pain.

"NO! Not, now!" Cherry screamed as her helmet visor light shifted in vibrant rainbow of colors. After a couple of seconds the light decided to settle on an angry bloody red and she lashed out at Rose in fury. Rose back flipped and landed in a split, balancing herself on two rows of seats.
"Cherry what are you doing!" Rose yelled out.
"My…duty…is to the ruler of Rapture," She growled out. "The…ruler of…Rapture is…LAMB!" She screamed out as she launched herself at Rose.
