Chapter 5
On their way back to the station Sister following obediently behind him Delta trudged onwards, his mood wasn't at all great and he couldn't say he wasn't expecting a berating lecture from Sinclair upon his return.
Sighing as the familiar crackle of static announced a connection had been made to his radio it was drowned out as the good Doctor's announcement came on air.
"Family, the creature known as Subject Delta has corrupted the mind of the Sister in Paupers Drop, they must not leave alive!" As Sofia's voice began over the PA system Delta's mind was cluttered with thoughts of dread as the outraged screams echoed throughout the Fishbowl's large atrium style surroundings.
"They must be stopped! Remember family we must remain strong! Ascension will soon be upon us and the unworthy must be purged!" This new sentence was met with much zeal from the Splicer population as the screams rose in volume.
'Well shit' Delta thought as the only entrance to the station was blocked off by a heavy metal grill that had dropped into the doorway, with the sound of heavy metal it locked into place.
Sighing mentally Delta prepared himself, checking his ammo as well as his supplies it was a habit he'd got down early on and now he could do it nearly autonomously.
Looking over at his companion he could see her checking over her own equipment, with a scrape of metal on metal her arm mounted syringe extended to nearly two feet in length. Looking to him she gave a firm nod, and he was glad she was here with him to face down Sofia's mob.
With a crackle of static his radio activated and the concerned words of Sinclair filled his ears, "Sport, Lamb's sending all she's got left at ya, looks like you'll be fighting your way outta this one, just be sure your new friend knows how ta handle herself"
For once Sinclair actually sounded concerned, then again he'd only known the man six hours and a lot could be hidden behind a charismatic wall. "Remember, she cant come back like you so just be sure you watch her back, as well as your own, I'm gonna try get this gate open from here so we can get a move on"
Giving an affirmative grunt as the connection terminated Delta pulled his trust rivet gun from its holster, immediately equipping trap rivets he set a few of them near this area's entrances.
Getting the idea his companion used her upgraded telekinesis to pull all manner of explosives towards her and quickly positioned them near entryways. Delta saw this and began pulling large chunks of masonry from collapsed walls with his own telekinetic powers and threw them down passageways, it wasn't long before an entire hall was cluttered with boulder sized chunks of concrete.
All this was in an attempt to slow down their nearing attackers who by the sound of it would be rounding the corner in a few seconds.
As the first splicer rounded the corner its head was immolated as a fireball engulfed its cranium causing it to stumble backwards screeching as its eyes melted in their sockets.
Collapsing dead it was trampled on as half a dozen more of the freaks rounded the corner at full speed immediately being punctured as several trap rivets exploded sending tungsten pellets the size of a large pencil as super speeds through two of their numbers bodies yelling in pain and falling backwards the pair tripped up another as they tripped on their falling bodies.
The first of which fell face first onto the floor with a curse as his nose broke on impact, the other wasn't as lucky as its forehead was penetrated by a single piece of rebar sticking up from the pile of concrete. Life ending with a crack the splicer next to it got up in a hurry, wiping pus from its popped pustule from its face as it continued its charge.
The three remaining splicers were blown of their feet as a fireball cast by the rouge Sister incinerated the fuel canister lying nearby, the pair leading were immolated in the ensuing fireball and the other was tossed like a ragdoll against the far wall, the back of its head splitting open as it collided with the solid concrete.
Leaking blood and brain matter the splicer slumped over dead a slowly spreading pool of blood leaking out from beneath it.
Smiling behind her mask at the devastation she'd caused she looked to her new friend as he gave her a thumbs up, which only made her smile wider.
This pause in the assault allowed the metal daddy to reposition his trap rivets as a second wave was on its way.
As he prepared so did his companion as she dragged a splicers corpse towards herself and burying her needle into its stomach extracted its Adam so as to power her abilities. Delta looked on in curiosity as her body was revitalized by the near magical liquid.
As a roar echoed up from the passage they'd prepared to greet their guests a chill went down Deltas spine as a brute barrelled through their defences. The Sister threw the drained corpse at the monster of a splicer causing him to stumble.
Delta opened up on him, several heavy rivets burrowing their superheated cores into the flesh of the oncoming brute. They didn't even seem to slow it down as the Brute barged past his traps causing several more Rivets to pierce into the flesh of his arms.
Near the end of their hall of death the brute hefted a heavy piece of concrete onto its shoulders before tossing it at the Alpha Daddy. The concrete exploded on impact and threw up a grey cloud that obscured the Alphas vision.
With a roar the brute charged right through the cloud and punched Delta off his feet and several meters backwards. Screeching his companion leapt onto the beasts back and punched her syringe into its back, with a roar the brute attempted to unseat her as well as trying to grab and pull her off.
Unsuccessful in its attempts the Sisters scream rose in volume as she continued to change the angle of her syringe effectively shredding the insides of the brute splicer. Movements becoming slower as its strength left it the Sister kicked off as it succumbed to its wounds and fell forward with a boom of flesh on stone.
Breathing heavily the Sister turned to Delta and with a quick movement pulled him to his feet, giving a short grunt of thanks the Alpha Daddy turned back to the corridor as over a dozen splicers flooded in through it.
Forsaking the rivet gun for his rapid fire mini-gun loaded with antipersonnel rounds, it was basically a mincer at this stage and at this range all he had to do was hold down the trigger. And like its namesake it chewed through their ranks and before the box magazine rattled out the last over a quarter of the crowd had been turned to fleshy chunks.
The remainder of which ducked into cover at the heed of several fireballs thrown their way and returned fire causing bother Delta and the Sister to duck into the diner. This allowed the thuggish variety of splicer to charge forward under the cover of several bursts of machine gun fire.
As the thugs sprung the trap Delta had set which involved the quick toss of a thin propane tank which exploded on contact engulfing several of them and causing the remainder to retreat allowing the metal clad pair to counter attack.
The Sister leapt up into the hole in the roof and began throwing fireballs down at the Leadheads distracting them and giving Delta a chance to charge in with his drill.
Now too close to bring their weapons to bear the splicers panicked as Delta swung his drill in a wide ark, the first swing taking most of a splicers face in a spray of blood whist breaking its neck with a snap. Revving the drill he shoved it through a splicers midsection turning its stomach and most of its internal organs to shreds in a shower of gooey blood.
Tossing the body aside Delta could only watch as the remainder of the splicers lay where they'd fallen, engulfed in flames he could only imagine the smell.
"Looks like you dealt with them, now get back here I've got the gate unlocked for you" Sinclair's voice broke through the sudden silence and as he made his way back to the stations entrance.
Looking over his shoulder he saw the Sister following along beside him.
He knew Sinclair would have his reservations but as she gave a happy hum there was no question to it, she was coming with them, even if it meant more hostility from the splicer population.
He just couldn't leave her behind.
A/N: Happy fun times right?
This is the longest chapter by far at just under one and a half thousand words, honestly it wasn't too hard to write, most of it was done today.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The laptop I'm using to write this story has to be taken in for "Re-imaging" whatever that means, so there might be a delay to the next chapter. However rest assured I will do all in my power to get the next chapter up by next Sunday or die trying! (Not really)
Cya all next week ~Biohazard888~
