Chapter 9
Moving out from beneath the slumbering teen Sinclair gently setting her down as to not awaken her from her slumber which by the shadows beneath her eyes she totally deserved. Sighing deeply he moved to the opposite seat before pulling the small utility radio from his belt he dialled in Deltas frequency before hitting the transmission button.
Immediately crackling as the connection was made the radio emitted the sound of a curious question asked in a child's voice "What was that noise Mr B?" Sinclair knew immediately that Delta had managed to find one of the young gatherers.
However his slightly curious reaction was dwarfed by Evelyn's which saw her bolting upright into a sitting position before casting her gaze around in a seemingly panicked fashion. Clearing his throat before speaking into the radios mic he looked to the armour clad teen before speaking.
Back in the Alley
Delta had been awaiting Sinclair's transmission and as he was in the process of returning the third and final sister of the area, not bothering to harvest the Adam enriched corpses that dotted the area but rather opting to get them to the safety of their vents without wasting too much time.
"Evelyn's fine sport, like I said, took a bump to the head but nothing to serious…" Delta let loose a sigh as he released a breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding. "Still, from what I can see here looks like you're about to return another of the girls, I hope you know what you're doing… you know what'll happen when you've returned the girls."
Sinclair was right, Delta knew perfectly well what would happen when he returned them, and one of them would show up, those who would do him harm before anything else however he'd already managed to befriend one… what was stopping him from doing the same for another?
Approaching the vent for the third and final time Delta reached up and carefully took the girl from upon his shoulders holding her small frame in his left hand before moving his right to cover her forehead, his palm glowing with a pure white light that slowly grew to fill his vision.
He'd rescued another from the good Doctors control and the feeling of accomplishment that ran through him as the little girl looked up at him a smile rested upon face which was now a normal shade of pink, she said her goodbyes before hopping into the vent, vanishing into its inky black depths.
This moment was short lived however as a screech echoed throughout the Alley making its soon to be arriving guardian well known to the suddenly anxious daddy who in preparation ran towards the closest vending machine, his progress unimpeded as most if not all members of the local splicer population were either dead or had gone to ground, clearing the way for the vengeful protector that was now out for blood.
Finishing up on his purchases Delta prepared as the Big Sister approached. Slowly walking out into the Alleys promenade style corridors Deltas left hand with sparked with the power Electrobolt 2 and in his right he held a fully upgraded Minigun loaded with armour piercing ammo.
He was prepared, but was he prepared enough? This coming battle would be a hard one however he'd see through it, if he died in the next hour so be it, he'd deal with any and all pain and punishment because he knew that his end goal was worth it.
He'd be reunited with his daughter again, whether it be in hours or days he would be there for her and if he were to fall, he'd get back up… death wasn't a factor, neither was his wellbeing he had only one thing left to lose… well, two now.
He wondered if the Sister that was bearing down upon him would hate him for sparing her, he'd already made up his mind to do so and as the sound of metal on concrete reached his ears he tightened his grip on the gun in his right hand and charged an overpowered bolt of electricity in his left.
Vaulting over the railing of an upstairs balcony she landed with a crash nearly twenty metres down the hall, blood red porthole locked upon the rouge daddy at the other end of the hall she let loose a scream of hatred and began sprinting towards the Alpha Daddy.
Letting loose the charged Electrobolt Delta simultaneously gave the Miniguns trigger a squeeze that resulted in dozens of projectiles flying down the corridor.
Suffice to say what he'd expected to happen didn't as the Sister dodged the charged electricity with a quick sidestep and raised several large pieces of rubble up in defence from the barrage of projectiles being sent her way.
Giving a grunt of annoyance Delta ducked into cover as the Sister launched the rubble his way, denting the support beam of the balcony above as the at least half tonne concrete fragments smashed into it.
This attack was less of a failure as he thought as with only the sudden creak of metal and wood to warn him the balcony above gave way and the heavy stone and wood walkway came crashing down on him, sending him to the floor buried beneath it.
Shifting the rubble from atop him he got back to his feet stumbling slightly at the concussion he'd received. Regaining his footing was made even more difficult as the lithe armoured form of Lamb's hand of the family flew at him knocking him backwards into the wall as she kicked him in the chest with both feet.
Groaning as he got up he swapped out to his drill knowing that at this range guns would be nearly useless. Aiming for the armoured adolescent he let lightning fly from his fingertips. Striking true his attack bought him a reprieve as the armoured figure spasmed on the spot arcs of lightning flashing along her thin frame.
Shaking off the effects of the electricity the Big Sister had little time to prepare herself as the Daddy performed a Drill charge that sent her through the thin wooden doors of a store.
Placing her hands to the floor behind her head the Sister was quick to recover leaping to her feet with the agility and grace of a gymnast. Then she did a move which took the Daddy by surprise for as he entered the stores shattered doorway she leapt at a wall hitting it feet first she pushed off and practically rocketed towards him screaming unholy fury as she did so.
Feet colliding with his armoured bulk Delta was sent stumbling backwards, sent reeling from her viscious assualt which was by no means over as she leapt at him again. Colliding like before with her feet impacting the rouge daddys armoured from she grabbed the oxygen tube that ran from the tank on his back to his helmet.
The tube held fast and this allowed the Sister to stab into his chestpeice multiple times drawing several grunts of pain from the big man before he managed to push her off, forcing her to fall back as he took a swing at her. Regaining his bearings Delta had only had a moment to duck out of the way as several fireballs were cast in his direction.
Once more charging him he tried to hold her off with another swipe but she ducked beneath it, getting too close for the Alpha daddy to efectively block her attecks she had a clean shot at his midsection which she exploited as much as she could drawing her fist back to land several punches with her right whilst blocking his arm with her syringe blade.
Thuds sounded as Adam infused strength met the thick leather that covered his abdomen but failed to do any damage to the Adam infused musculature of his abdomen.. However he'd give credit where it was due, she could throw a punch and had he not been the genetic tank that he was her punches would do far more damage than the stinging jabs he was feeling now.
The Alpha daddy grabbed the offending limb mid punch when his hand managed to slip through her guard and quickly grabbed the other in a vice like grip but even so the Sister continued to struggle against his grip even going so far as to kick at him.
Succeeding in the latter her armoured boot met his leather clad shin and he gave a roar of pain as a recent wound that had been in the process of healing split open, causing no small amount of pain to the Alpha Daddy. He let loose another roar as she kicked again but this one was not in pain, but in anger.
This anger had come from out of the blue, he didn't know why it had suddenly sparkedd now but as his heavy breaths became deep growls he saw that the Sister had stopped her struggles and was no longer trying to break free in an attempt to attack him but rather in an attempt to get away.
Pushing her away she tripped with a cry of surprise and fell backwards coming to a halt against the stores plasterboard wall, the giant figure of Delta standing over her. Her shivering frame betraying her fear as she looked up at him, visor turning from an angry red to scared amber.
The Alpha daddy reasoned that his roar had done something, he didn't know what exactly but as she was no longer trying to fight back he didn't really care. But now he was faced with a predicament, what to do now?
It was funny… Delta had a sudden sense of deja-vu.
Back with Sinclair and Evelyn
Sinclair knew delta could handle himself perfectly well but why couldn't he shake the sudden sense of foreboding that'd come over him. Unable to shake the feeling he took to pacing along the short length the cabin provided, it was after he'd made a few laps that he caught the attention of Evelyn.
Catching his eye with a wave she gave him a questioning look that was accompanied by a small hum.
He sighed at her obvious question but aside from pausing in his pacing he didn't know what to say. "What can I say", he wondered as he looked into the teens amber eyes, suffice to say he found no answers there.
"I don' know why I'm so anxious… I've just gotta weird feeling, like something's gonna happen, and I know it's not goin' to be good" he spoke with a certain tone that spoke of challenges to come that really connected with the genetically altered teen.
She nodded thoughtfully at his words and found herself thinking about what he meant by it, "What's going to change?" she thought to herself absentmindedly before abandoning the thought soon after, whatever happened she'd still stick by Delta and Sinclair, whatever were to happen in the future she stick by the pair.
Standing she placed a hand on the aging man's shoulder before giving it a reassuring squeeze accompanied with a small smile. He gave her a slightly forced smile at the support and sat down pulling the small radio from its resting place he switched it on.
About to speak Sinclair nearly dropped the damn thing when he saw what was on the bulky radios built in screen.
From what the blurry screen showed Delta was looking down at another Big Sister.
"For crying out loud…" Sinclair muttered in a slightly exasperate tone following up that he pinched his brow, this drew the attention of Evelyn who took a peak at the screen from where she stood releasing a small gasp as she saw what it displayed...
A/N: No rant for you!

I am of course kidding, goodbye for now!
