The Creeping In Eleanor's Soul

Chapter IV: Biological Experiment 1: Abomination

A Thuggish Splicer charged at Eleanor with it's blood crusted wrench raised, with a flick of her wrist the Splicer was engulfed in an explosion of flames and it dropped to the ground, dead. Eleanor was beginning to wonder if the Splicers had any common sense left in them at all. Four Leadhead Splicers appeared down a hallway to her right and upon spotting her they immediately engaged her in combat. Two of the Leadheads started to open fire on her with Tommy Guns and Shotguns while the other two stayed back and started to lob Frag Grenades and Molotov Cocktails at her.

Eleanor extended her right hand and used her Telekinesis to rip off one of those metal automatic doors and use it as a shield. Her cover was crude yet effective, the Leadhead's gun fire could not penetrate the thick metal of the door nor could their grenades. Using her left hand, Eleanor froze the door over with Winter Blast and huge icicles sprung forth from the door. Using a combination of Sonic Boom and Telekinesis, Eleanor sent her makeshift battering ram flying towards the Leadheads. They were to slow to avoid the deadly projectile and they were all impaled and crushed to death.

Eleanor stopped for a mere second to sniff the air once more, she was getting closer and closer to her objective. As Eleanor walked through another door she noticed that the entire facility had gone silent. She no longer heard the insane ramblings of Splicers in the distance…something was up. This could only mean one of two things. One: the Splicers of the area were preparing a trap for her or two: something more powerful than the Splicers had just entered the scene and now they were trying to not be noticed. Eleanor was leaning towards her first guess.

Eleanor back flipped just as a giant arm busted through a door to her left…well at least it looked like an arm. The mutated appendage was a squiggling mass of muscle tissue and tentacles. The creature that the arm belonged to rushed through the door way. The creature had absolutely no skin at all, every muscle on its mutated body was exposed and as a result blood constantly dripped from its huge form. Its left arm was much smaller than it's huge right arm but it was still bulging with muscle. It looked like its lower jaw had been transformed to work as a pare of mandibles, like a beetles, and two tongue like appendages hung down from its mouth.

"AHHHHH!" Eleanor's eyes shifted to the struggling form of the young boy that it held in it's massive left hand. The creature looked the boy up and down with it's beady yellow eyes, the boy was throwing small balls of fire at the creature but his attacks were having no effect at all. The monster drove its two tongue like appendages into the young boy's belly. The boy's agonizing screams of terror and pain echoed through the facility. After about thirty seconds it found it's prize, the ADAM Slug that sat within the boy's stomach lining. It yanked its prize out and the boy immediately went still. It brought the slug within it's jaws and swallowed it down whole and it then threw the boy's limp form over it's shoulder like it was nothing but trash. The creature turned towards Eleanor and immediately roared out in rage and charged towards her.

The creature was about the size of a Brute Splicer or even larger! The creature raised it's huge deformed right arm and brought it down towards Eleanor, aiming to crush her to death. Eleanor cart wheeled to the right and quickly had to duck a swipe from it's smaller left arm, the hallway they were fighting in was cramped and Eleanor's fighting style was at it's most effectiveness when she had room to maneuver.

'Well…here it goes.'

Eleanor slid between the creature's legs and quickly ran towards the middle of the facility, as she thought the core of the facility was a wide open room with plenty of space for her to maneuver. Eleanor quickly jumped into the ceiling just as the abomination burst threw the door she had just entered. Eleanor stealthily hid herself from the creature as it tried to hunt her down. She quickly put on her Big Sister helmet and turned the volume of the radio down to low.

"Dr. Tenenbaum? Dr. Tenenbaum, can you hear me!" Eleanor whispered out frantically.

"Yes Eleanor, I can hear you and I can see very clearly what you are fighting."

"What is that…thing?" Eleanor asked in disgust. Judging by the creature's posture and what little facial features it had left it was indeed once human. If this creature was indeed a Splicer then the citizens of Rapture must be devolving at a faster rate than Eleanor expected, Tenenbaum must have sensed her train of thought.

"No Eleanor, the creature you see before you is not a Splicer. It was one of the many experiments that the scientist of Rapture conducted. We wanted to know to what extent ADAM could deform the human body and as you can see the results were…disturbing to say the least."

Eleanor scoffed, after seeing Dr. Alexander's inhuman form she was pretty sure that the amount of ways that ADAM could twist the human mind and body held no limits.

"How many of these experiments did you conduct?" Eleanor asked, she was really not looking forward to Dr. Tenenbaum's reply. Tenenbaum went silent for a couple of seconds.

"…About twenty-four."

Eleanor sighed deeply which alerted the abomination to her presence…wait a minute. That is what Eleanor would call this creature.

Abomination.

Abomination grabbed a wooden desk that lay beside him with his huge right arm and chucked it at Eleanor with all his might. Eleanor dodged the improvised projectile and started to hurl fireballs at the creature. Abomination gave out a roar of pain as he was set ablaze but after about five seconds he merely shrugged off the flames. Abomination growled and sent himself dashing towards Eleanor at such a high speed that she was just not fast enough to avoid it. Abomination slammed his enormous body against Eleanor, the force of the impact sent Eleanor sailing through the air and crashing into a wall. Just before the creature was about to slam into Eleanor once more, this time intent on finishing her, Eleanor disappeared in a flash of purple and the creature got it's huge right arm stuck in the wall.

Eleanor appeared right behind the creature and with a cold glare she sent fire streaming from her right hand and electricity surging from her left. The Abomination shrieked in agony and pain as not only the electricity surging through his body completely charred him from the inside out but the flames were melting its muscle tissue from its very bones. In a last ditch effort to defeat its opponent the Abomination swung its huge right arm in a side sweep, its flailing appendage connected and Eleanor was sent flying across the room.

Eleanor flipped in mid air and landed in a crouch. Eleanor looked towards the human turned monstrosity only to find a giant mutated hand coming her way. Eleanor jumped just as the hand tried to grab her and she ran along the creature's arm. The Abomination had the ability to stretch out its right arm to insane lengths, not only that but the creature's wounds were steadily healing.

This was going to be a much tougher fight than Eleanor originally expected.

Eleanor finally reached the Abomination and she sent a kick to the left side of it's face. The creature stumbled at the force of the blow and Eleanor quickly made a grab for its mandibles. Eleanor forcefully tried to pry the creature's jaws open and as expected she was met with very forceful resistance. Eleanor sent a bolt of lightning into the creatures mouth, stunning it for a couple of moments and continued to pry the creature's jaws open. Eleanor was now positioned on the creature's back and she had her long gangly legs were rapped around the creature's neck. Eleanor had finally managed to wrestle the creature to the ground, it was tired out enough for her to get what she had came for. Eleanor stuck her right arm down the creature's throat, searching for the one thing that she desperately needed the most right now. After about five minutes of struggling and searching she found her prize and yanked it straight out of the Abomination's stomach.

The ADAM Slug was still alive much to her pleasure and it twitched and wriggled around in protest. Eleanor was about to continue her search for the remaining Little Brothers but just as she was about to leave she turned her head to the still breathing form of Abomination.

'This thing had to have consumed a massive amount of ADAM to get to the state that its in now…'

Eleanor walked up to the fallen beast and plunged her ADAM Syringe deep into its heart. It was going to take awhile for her to extract all of its ADAM but every little bit helps.
