Deep Pain
A/N: if you've made it this far then I certainly don't need to warn you that my story is very dark, and at some points brutal. thank you for your support!
The Group was stunned, they didn't know what to make of the situation they found themselves in. What was Tenenbaum and Joe thinking inviting one of the most hated and feared creatures in Rapture to their base?! The whole thing seemed absurd, not only had she invited a Big Sister but she saw fit to invite a "Big Brother" as well? Vicki clinched her fist and smashed it down on the coffee table in front of her causing Seline to jump when Donnie's circuit boards littered the table. The rest of the Group watched as she stormed out of the room past the German Doctor.
"Vicki..." Tenenbaum turned as she stomped past her but she was ignored. Everyone looked at the old Doctor's troubled expression with silence.
"I...I'll go talk to her, she just needs some time." James said as he passed his older Brother and Tenenbaum to chase after the raging Girl.
"those two are something else." Joe chuckled shaking his head. "guess I'll go find something constructive to do as well."
Everyone shrugged as they started to leave the room one by one, when Grace passed Tenenbaum she paused before speaking. "Don't worry Doctor, we've suffered enough, if your plan fails at least we won't have to live in this Damned City anymore." the elderly Woman said as she exited the room leaving Tenenbaum. The Doctor had a million things running through her head at once, doubt, fear, anger, and sorrow all plagued her constantly. The German Woman felt a tiny hand grasp hers, when she looked down Lizzy was standing next to her smiling.
"don't worry Ms. Tenenbaum, Big Brother and Big Sister would never do anything to hurt us because we don't look like the bad People!" The little Girl smiled as she ran out of the room to catch up with Aunt Grace. Tenenbaum smiled and wished it was that simple, it was true they didn't look like Rapture's more unsavory Denizens but trust in Rapture was as easy to gain as a trip to the Surface. What would they think when they arrived and saw her little Group of misfit Survivors, what would she say to them, and how would she explain Anna to them? The poor Girl was sedated ninety percent of the time and they had to strap her to the bed so she wouldn't thrash around and hurt herself or others when she had night terrors. She cursed herself for her past sins, if she could go back in time she would have chosen to die in that Damn Concentration Camp. The Old Woman bit her lip remembering all of the pain she had endured in her life, what was it for? She quickly shook her head to rid herself of the invasive thoughts, she had a responsibility to get everyone she could out of Rapture, especially the so called "Monsters" she had created and she would not rest until she did.
. . .
Vicki sat on her bed with her knees tucked to her chest as tears streamed down her face, the room was lit by the many florescent signs outside the rooms window, when she heard the door open and close. She looked up to see James standing there with a worried expression on his face, she looked away from him toward the floor and mumbled. "what do you want?" She sniffled a few times before James gave a sorrowful smile and made his way to her bedside, he sat down on the bed and looked to the floor.
"you know... it's not good to keep those things bottled up inside. he said as he gave a sigh, Vicki just looked at him as he continued to speak. "Joe and I lost our Parents to this Nightmare, we were only kids when the Civil War broke out but when it did it spread like a God Damned wildfire taking everything... and everyone in it's wake." he cleared the knot in his throat before continuing. "our Family... our real Family, like so many others were just caught in between a power struggle of Titans. I still remember that night like it had just taken place, it'll always be burned in my mind until the day I die. We were going to a Party at the Gleaming Pearl Dinner Hall with our Parents, it was one of the many locations engulfed by War. I remember I threw a tantrum that night because my fancy clothes were uncomfortable, I remember how angry our Father was when he spanked me, how gentle my Mother was when she wiped my tears away after." The young Man looked to the ceiling with a smile, Vicki noticed the reflection of his tears in the dim blue light.
"We actually had fun later that night, turns out a lot of our friends had come with their parents and we were relieved we wouldn't have to listen to our Father talk about his job all night to People we hardly knew. All of the Kids were dancing together and laughing when it felt like the entire City started to shake, First we heard the rumbling and thought it was an earthquake, then the screams came." James' voice took a darker tone as he starred off into space remembering the Horrible night. Vicki leaned up with wide eyes to listen to his story. "Everyone gathered next to the giant windows in the Dance Hall to get a better view, when Joe and I pushed our way through the Crowd to the window, it hit us like a ton of bricks. Entire Buildings were going black in an instant and explosions tore through others, we saw the floors bellow the dance hall shoot fire from them almost knocking us off our feet, and then we saw them. The Bodies... hundreds of them... floating through the City!" He could barley contain his emotions at this point and began weeping at the memory of such a traumatic event. His friend put her arms around him and began crying even more. "Everyone just stood there... in shock, what were we supposed to do? what the Hell could you do in a time like that?!" he shouted. "Everyone was so focused on the scene through the window no one ever noticed Fontaine's Thugs come in through the back of the room, they lined up on the wall behind us... when everyone turned around they had guns pointed at us, they were dirty and their shirts had patches and rips, some had rolled up sleeves and suspenders... I can still remember their faces, clear as day.
I remember the looks they gave us, anger, hatred, determination, but all of them had a cold look in their eyes, they all had the same murderous look, but it didn't set in until i saw their leader's face, He was... Smiling..." James put his hands on his face as he was pelted with flashbacks of that night. "that's when I knew... that's when it finally clicked that none of us were leaving that room alive. Their Leader grinned as he introduced himself and gave us a bow, his men started shooting..." he paused for a few minutes to catch his breath, Vicki just kept hugging him. "have you ever been suffocated by Corpses? I have and it's something I would never wish on anyone, I don't know how the bullets missed me but they did, everyone fell to the floor and of course on top of me too. Everything went black after that, when I woke up I was in the hallway outside of the Dance Hall and Joe was shaking me, sobbing, begging me to wake up. He was covered in as much blood as I was, I still remember the look on his face when I opened my eyes, he hugged me so tight I couldn't breath. I was unconscious when he pulled me out so I didn't have to see our parents, or our friends but he did, He had searched for us, for me... On our way to our house it didn't matter where you looked you could see death, Corpses littered the streets." he said as he took a large breath and exhaled. "I... I'm... I don't even know what to say James!" Vicki mumbled through her tears. "I'm so... so sorry... I never knew." she whispered as she wiped the tears from her eyes with her sweater sleeve. James chuckled awkwardly as he did the same. "of course you didn't know, you're the first Person I've told this to." Her eyes widened at his statement. She realized that no matter who survived in Rapture everyone had Horrible stories and there were rarely any good moments in the Hell they inhabited.
Joe stroked his beard as he leaned against the wall outside of the room, his face was gaunt as he recalled the New Year's Eve Riots. He, unlike his younger Brother remembered sifting through the bodies in the Dance Hall, and the hopeless feeling he got when he found his dead Mother clutching her youngest Son, just as their Father had done for him. Joe clenched his fist and grit his teeth when he remembered the son of a bitch that caused it all, that God Damn Splicer and his men! The Man's voice was etched into his mind, along with his face and name... "Wallace!" Joe growled as he stomped down the hallway.
Vicki sat up and wiped her red eyes with her sweater sleeve. "I guess we've all lost people, it's the same for me, though I didn't see my parents deaths. My Brother and I grew up in Pauper's Drop, it was... less than pleasant. crime was rampant, and murders happened on a daily basis, and that was before ADAM came along, when it did everything changed... for the worse. Our step Father was a drunk and our Mother died soon after we were born, our step Father used to beat us if we were out of line..." Vicki stopped upon remembering the painful upbringing she and her Brother received. "Hell, he used to beat us if we said we were hungry, or tired, for anything really, I think he blamed us for our Mother's death. Needless to say there was no love between us, when ADAM started circulating it only got worse, I was always trying to protect my little Brother, he was the only one I truly cared for." She began crying again. "it started with sudden hints, our step Father Jeramiah would start talking to himself or people who weren't there, he would shake uncontrollably and yell at us through mood swings. We had no idea the worst was yet to come, we came home one day from searching garbage cans in the better off parts of Rapture, when I opened the door to the house he was waiting for us..." she stopped and pressed her eyes closed, James could see she was shaking and took her hand, he placed his arm around her as she put her head on his chest and began weeping. "it's okay... you don't have to talk about it if it's too much." he said understandingly. "no... I DO need to talk about it! It's been eating a hole inside me for so long!" She responded desperately. "take your time, I'm not going anywhere I promise." James replied with a soft caring voice that only made her weep more, she had never had anyone care for her like that.
"when... when we came home Jeramiah was sitting in his chair next to the wood stove, he had an almost empty bottle of ADAM lying in the floor next to him, he looked up at us and I could tell he was out of his mind by the way he held his eyes, I told my Brother to run to our room, lock the door and not to come out no matter what. I turned to run behind him but before I could make it to the room he grabbed my wrist, he pulled me to the ground and got on top of me..." Vicki whispered, James was grinding his teeth as he held her, she took a deep breath before continuing. "He was smiling the whole time... saying how much I looked like my Mother, he tried kissing me and i bit his lip hard enough to rip half of it away, he got Mad and slapped me. I couldn't do anything but scream when he started... touching me." James didn't know what to say, or what he could say to Vicki to ease her suffering, so he chose not to say anything, instead he would simply be there to listen to her and make she she knew she wasn't alone.
"He started to unbutton my pants when I heard my Brother yell from above me in the hallway, when I looked up he was holding Jeramiah's old revolver, before Jeramiah had a chance to go after him my Brother shot him in the eye. His body dropped on top of me and my Brother had to help me up, when he did I took the gun from him and fired the rest of the bullets into that fucking piece of human SHIT!" She growled, after her nerves calmed down a little she continued. "I thought I had to protect him since i was the older Sister but in the end he ended up saving me." she smiled wiping away more tears. James thanked whatever God would listen when she said that, he was extremely relieved her Brother had stopped their Step Father from raping her, as he was sure she was too. "after that we took whatever we could carry and left to look for a better place to live." Vicki's tone darkened. "after the Civil War and Lamb's rise to power there was no shortage of abandoned Hotel rooms or Suites, we just picked whichever one we liked the most, if they didn't have bodies in them.
One day we were looking for some food at a local Deli in the square outside the Big Dipper Hotel, when we heard gunshots and roaring coming from the street outside, when we got to the window we saw a Big Daddy protecting a Little Sister from a group of Splicers, he was hurt really bad but he managed to kill all of the Splicers before he collapsed against the building. The Little Sister started crying and shaking him... begging him to get up, I started gathering things in the Deli because I knew she would attract more Splicers, or something worse. If only it could have been more Splicers... I turned around for two seconds to get an arm full of food when I noticed my Brother was no where in the store, when I looked out the window again... he was handing the girl a creme filled cake trying to calm her down, by the time I noticed the Big Sister it was already too late!" she started breathing rapidly almost hyperventilating. "she... she stabbed him... for trying to help... she stabbed him through the chest with that fucking needle! The only Family I had left! HE WAS ONLY TWELVE YEARS OLD!" she screamed at the top of her lungs no longer able to contain her emotions, James tightened his arms around her as she sobbed.
The two of them sat in place for an hour before Vicki had calmed down and started to breath again, James finally worked up the nerve to break the silence. "what was his name?" he asked softly. "what?" Vicki questioned as she sniffled and rubbed her sore eyes. "what was your Brothers name, you never said it." he replied as she looked up at him with sorrowful eyes. "his name was Dillon." she told him quietly. "Dillon seems like a kind boy, when we get out of here remind me to thank him." James said as he smiled at Vicki. "thank him for what?" she asked curiously. "if it wasn't for him, his bravery, and his kindness, you wouldn't be the person you are today, you wouldn't be here today. So right now I swear to you and Dillon I'll get you out of here, even if it kills me!" he said with determination clear in his voice as he wiped away the rest of her tears. Vicki's only response to his statement surprised him when she suddenly kissed him, though he had to admit he didn't mind it.
. . .
When both Protectors had finished putting the top half of their suits on they helped one another zip the back of their suits up, Iota's suit was so damaged in the back there was only a few inches of suit around her neck holding it on, Omega fiddled with her zipper trying to get it back on the rails all the while getting more frustrated with the infernal device, when he finally did get it back on the tracks he pulled it as far up as it would go. The duo then reattached their heavy steel shoulder pads, and elbow pads, as Iota placed her Harvester back on her right arm, Omega pulled his large knife from the door control panel and placed it back in the sheath on his arm. Omega looked to his Companion as she walked over to join him at the door, she gave a warm smile and the two began lifting the heavy door to the Maintenance room, once the door was up high enough Omega placed the bottom on his shoulder for better support as Iota stepped through the opening, when she was through he quickly lifted the door a little more before stepping to the side allowing the door to hit the ground with a monstrous thud. The two Protectors scanned the Hallway before them for any signs of life, they saw nothing but they heard various sounds within the different rooms of Dionysus Park, the Duo began walking and continued watching for anything that might pose a threat to them. They had to proceed with caution, they had already seen an Alpha series and there was no telling what Mother's old park had in store for them.
As they walked they observed their Mother's once proud art gallery that now lay in waste, the sea floor had invaded since the buildings flooding, neither one of them knew how it happened or when the Park had been drained. Both Protectors had swam bye the building many times but could never quite see through the dark windows to the interior, now that they're finally walking through the place it felt rather strange. The smell of salt water was a constant scent, as well as mildew from some of the many water damaged paintings that hang throughout the exhibit, almost all of the lights were dark no doubt due to the years of submersion in the salty sea. Most of the building was lit by glowing Choral of various different colors, red, yellow, orange, blue, and even green. The Choral crowded the building in almost every corner, on the ceiling and walls. Iota looked around in amazement, it was beautiful despite the smell of rotting fish and mold, she had to admit, if the smell wasn't so bad Dionysus Park could give Arcadia a run for it's money. Iota jogged her way to the corner of the room, every step making a wet crunch from the soft sea floor under them, Omega simply walked behind her to investigate. When the Male Protector caught up with his Female Counterpart she was facing a corner with Illuminated Choral growing from it, when she turned around her eyes were wide with amazement and she was smiling happily at Omega as she held out her hands. Inside were small pieces of the glowing Sea life with every color she could find, the Sister squealed happily as she placed her new colorful items inside of what Omega called her "Treasure Pouch" A pouch she kept various items that caught her attention or her liking, in the pouch she had collected a smooth pebble like piece of glass, a leaf from Arcadia, a rather expensive looking Sapphire ring, and now glowing Sea life was added to the collection. Omega chuckled at his Companion as she carefully placed the new additions inside her pouch.
When the two had finished sight seeing they began moving farther inside the Park, the duo walked side by side like always when Omega felt Iota's hand take a hold of his suit sleeve above his elbow, when he looked toward her she was looking all around them at the different sights humming softly. The Duo continued their walk through the once flooded halls of the park until something caught their eyes, two paintings that seemed almost unharmed by the Sea water. Both paintings were hanging side by side on a nearby wall, Omega noticed them first and stopped walking causing Iota to look at him with confusion. The Male Protector made his way to the painting on the left and stood in front of it, he tilted his head at the curious piece of art, meanwhile as Iota watched her Partner the painting to the right caught her attention immediately drawing her in. The two paintings were encased in glass and unlike the other ruined works of art hung around the Park these had no damage at all, Omega tilted his head at the sight before him. On the canvas behind the glass was a house in the middle of a field, in the back ground he could see trees, and massive rocks coming from the ground, they were jagged and reached all the way to the blue above branded with white tips at the top. The giant rocks weren't what caught his eye though, it was the bright blue color above them with white things floating through it. was this the so called "Sky" Splicers begged or claimed to see as he killed them? He would very much like to see it if he ever got the opportunity, especially if some of his foes wished to see it one last time before they died, it only peaked his interest to hear of such a sight.
As Omega examined the painting in front of him, Iota was doing the same. She watched as Omega observed the beautiful landscape it depicted with confusion, she looked to the ground and thought for a second before her attention returned to her own piece of art. Iota marveled at the bright colors of the painting, in the background was a large tree with hundreds of colored lights on it and the top had a magnificent shining star shape, behind the tree was the biggest water fountain she had ever seen, with various designs and markings. Like Omega there was a particular point of interest that held the Sister's attention, in front of the seemingly glowing tree were two people clad in jackets and scarves, they held each other close and she could tell they cared for one another.
The Female Protector thought they held each other for warmth because there was snow on the ground and in the air, upon closer inspection she realized that was not the case, when she saw the Man and Woman's lips connecting it stirred up a frenzy of emotions. Iota's mind flashed back to the movie scene she had witnessed in Siren Alley of the Man and Woman's interaction and her face began heating up once again, she didn't understand the strange ritual. Was it a form of communication, a simple way to pass time, or maybe it was a way to show affection? She didn't know but it was a curious activity to say the least, one that made her heart rate speed up when she thought about it. Omega looked over to his Partner, She had her hand on the glass just in front of the painting gently sliding her fingers across it with her head tilted, he watched as she pulled her hand to her lips and ran her fingers across them, she appeared to be deep in thought.
The Male Protector gave his Companion a questioning screech making her jump from the sudden noise, she looked at him as he tilted his head, she only smiled. Iota turned back to the painting and to Omega's surprise she punched her gloved hand though the glass shattering it instantly, He watched as she carefully removed the painting and folded it up into a small square, she then placed it inside her treasure pouch right beside the glowing choral she had collected earlier. Her face was starting to turn red and Omega looked at her curiously, he was going to put his hand on her shoulder to make sure she was okay but before he could she turned sharply and started walking off. The Big Brother shrugged and began following her until he got the chance to catch up with her pace, the Duo continued their journey with Omega still confused at his Partner's earlier actions, what was wrong with her, was she okay, and what did the painting she took have on it exactly? He scratched his head still trying to figure it out. He was about to stop his Sister when they passed through a doorway into a large open room, dozens of large pipes filled the tall ceiling and a Carousel was illuminated a magnificent orange color, the amusement ride had detailed gold colored designs on the poles, horses, and center Piller.
Iota's eyes lit up when she saw the ride and took off jogging toward it, before she could reach it however a few large fireballs hit right in front of her feet causing her to stop abruptly. She could hear laughter and began growling as she scanned the room for the pest that assaulted her, Omega ran up beside her and blocked another barrage with his left arm causing him to screech in anger. Now Iota was infuriated, not only had someone tried to harm her but also a member of her Family, Omega pulled his knife from his sheath as the two Protectors put their backs together and carefully watched the darkness around them for the perpetrator. The Duo was surprised when they heard other voices chime in with laughter, they watched as one by one plumes of red smoke and rose peddles filled the surrounding area. Houdini Splicers in tattered suits and dresses began appearing around them, some took the high ground of the second floor while others surrounded the Protectors on the lower floor, Omega showed his teeth and growled while the Splicers scanned the Guardians for anything valuable.
"I smell ADAM, they... they must have some!" one screamed from the upper floor causing Iota to look for the fool who said it.
"No look at their eyes, they glow like the little ones!" a female Splicer yelled. "it's been so long since we got our hands on one of those little Monsters, and now... now we have two BIG Monsters!" the deranged Woman began laughing hysterically as she threw several fireballs down at the Protectors. Both Protectors shot forward to avoid the barrage, Omega slammed his fist into one a Houdini's face before he could escape, he then stabbed his knife into the man's forehead bringing him instant death. He turned to look for Iota, she jumped on top of the Carousel and used it to reach the top floor. If Iota was taking the high ground then he would clear the bottom level. The Male Protector heard footsteps behind him and turned just in time to block a large Butcher knife with his own, a Female Splicer began swinging wildly at him with her weapon as she screamed and growled insanely showing her rotting teeth. The Brother grinned and began laughing with every attack he deflected with his blade, he had killed many foes but it was always nice when a Splicer had at least some skill with combat. The way the Woman slashed at him was wild but also fluid and he could tell she had used the weapon many times, his smile grew when he deflected her knife and she spun around slashing his arm. He lunged forward connecting his forehead with hers making a loud pop resonate through the air sending her backwards to the ground, before he could finish her another Splicer materialized in front of her continuing where she had left off. Omega grinned with excitement as the Man swung a large pipe at his face missing by only a hair, the Woman made her way to her feet holding her head and only screamed with more anger before joining back in the fight.
On the upper floor Iota was dodging a hail of fire, she leaped onto a pillar and shot toward a Splicer with her Harvester raised, before she could pierce the Man he teleported just out of harms way, or so he thought. When the Splicer re-materialized Iota raised her hand at the Man, clenching her fist she made a pulling motion sweeping the man off his feet, the Houdini began to panic as he flew toward his opponent at high speed. Iota raised her harvester just in time to skewer the man's chest, she drew what ADAM she could from him before more fireballs flew in her direction. Using the Corpse as a shield the Sister shot bolts of Lighting from her hand causing her assailant to fly into a nearby wall and explode into ash as she hit the ground, she then through the flaming corpse at another Houdini. When Iota finally got a break she glimpsed down to check on her Brother, she smiled and shook her head when she saw him playing with two Splicers, she knew he wasn't in trouble for the simple fact that he was grinning while they fought, he was enjoying himself. She watched as he blocked their attacks with his combat knife, when he had finally decided to show the two weaklings the difference between them he kicked the Male Splicer in the chest sending him flying.
The Female Houdini brought her knife down in a stabbing motion toward his head to which he caught with his left hand, Omega brought his knife up and stabbed the insane Woman through the bottom of her mouth, the Brother's blade was so long it reached all the way into her skull ending her pathetic life. When the Male Splicer saw this he screamed with anger and teleported behind Omega to try and get the jump on him by stabbing him in the top of his head, Iota watched as her Brother caught the Man's boil infested arm and used his shoulder to throw the man to the ground in front of him, the Splicer landed on the hard concrete with a thud knocking the air out of his lungs, Omega brought his knife down into the Man's chest causing his eyes to widen and blood spurted from the Splicer's chest onto his Killer's face.
Iota chuckled when she saw the expression on the face of her Brother's Victim, her happiness was cut short when she heard the mad scream of an Alpha fill the air. Both Protectors and Splicers got quiet as they looked around for the source of the noise. They heard the sound again followed by heavy stomps, Omega pulled his knife from the Splicer's chest and looked above him as dirt fell from the ceiling. Iota's heart almost stopped when the ceiling above her Brother collapsed and he dissapeared in a cloud of dust and rubble, she fell forward and caught herself on the railing before falling to the lower floor, she carefully scanned the dust for any sign of Omega or the Alpha as her heart started pounding. She heard Omega's deep howl like screech and immediately jumped to the lower level.
Omega didn't know what hit him he couldn't see anything for the dust and he could feel a lot of pressure on his left leg, he couldn't open his right eye for some reason. When the Brother looked up he saw a bright pink glow through the thick cloud of dust and cursed mentally, he looked down to see that his left leg was trapped under a large block of concrete and on top of the block was the Alpha's large steel boot, Omega was positive his leg was at the very least broken. A large hand reached through the dust and grabbed Omega's throat, when it did the Big Brother stabbed his knife into the Alpha's forearm causing it to release him and scream in pain, the Alpha moved back off the concrete block causing an extreme amount of pain to shoot through Omega's body and he Howled in agony. As the dust began to settle the Brother could see the figure of the Alpha in the cloud, he could also see the outline of a large machine gun being pointed at him. Omega hit the Alpha with Incinerate causing him to lose focus and start flailing in an attempt to put the flames out, the Male Protector heard heavy footsteps pass him and leap toward the crazed Big Daddy kicking him with both feet sending him further into the cloud and out of Omega's sight.
The figure got close enough for The Brother to realize it was his Sister, Iota looked at him with worry as she tried desperately to move the large chunk of rubble that pinned her Partner, with both of their strength and Omega's added pain they were able to remove the heavy obstacle. The Duo heard another roar from the Alpha and Omega watched his Sister's face change from one of worry to pure Rage, Iota took off into the cloud to buy her Companion some healing time.
Iota came out of the cloud with an earsplitting screech, causing the Alpha disorientation and it made him stumble clumsily. It was the exact same Alpha they had seen in Siren's Alley, was it following them? It didn't matter, it had caused her harm, it had caused her Partner harm and so it had to suffer. She stabbed her Harvester through his chest repeatedly until his large drill smashed into her side throwing her into the wall. The Sister moved her head just before his Drill could crush it, she shot a Lightning bolt into the Monster's face causing it to seize up and roar brokenly, she then used her flexibility to kick the Alpha away from her. She spent the next few minutes striking at the Alpha with her needle and also trying to dodge his drill arm and Machine gun fire, she was doing well until her luck finally ran out, when she stabbed at the Alpha he caught her arm and head butted her with his heavy steel helmet causing her to fall backwards. The Alpha held his grip on Iota's wrist as she fell back, he then lifted her up into the air so fast she felt her shoulder pop causing her to scream in pain. Her vision was blurry and she could feel blood trickling down her face from the force of the Alpha's headbutt, the insane Protector raised his drill to impale the girl when a Howling screech echoed through the room.
The Alpha looked to his right to be met with a fierce shoulder charge by Omega causing the Big Daddy to drop Iota. the Big Brother pushed the Alpha into a nearby pillar and stabbed his knife through the insane Protector's armpit severing the muscle and rendering his drill useless, Omega pulled the knife out and punched his enemy's helmet with enough force to crack the thick glass of his porthole. The enraged Alpha roared in frustration and headbutted Omega causing him to take a few steps back, when he did the Big Daddy sent his fist into the Brother's face, before he could get another hit in Omega launched his only good leg forward kicking the Monster in his stomach with so much force it sent the Beast through a cafe diner window with a cloud of dust. Omega roared in pain as he fell to the ground from putting too much pressure on his broken leg, once Iota came to her senses she ran to Omega and helped him up with her one good arm, the two saw the Alpha trapped under some rubble and began digging his way out, they heard the laughter of more Splicers headed their way as well and decided it was a fight they would certainly lose. The bruised Protectors quickly left the area hearing more roaring, laughter and gunfire behind them. They didn't know if the Splicers could kill the Rogue Alpha but they would at least provide a distraction, both Protectors were angry with themselves, they hated being forced to retreat but living to find the last remaining Little Sisters was worth the shame of withdrawing from battle.
