Chapter Five.

First Encounter.

Delta pulled his drill out of the body of a splicer he just killed. Turning the body he saw another splicer running at him with a ratchet. Flicking his left hand, the splicer immediately caught on fire and ran screaming for water, but couldn't find any water fast enough and fell to the ground, dead.

"Oooh, marshmallows Daddy!" the little girl said, sitting atop his turned and began following the essence of the little sister towards the next body that she was going to gather ADAM from. Turning the corner, Delta took off his drill attachment and took out his spear gun. He could hear the sound of shuffling and the voices of splicers. Two jumped out in front of him and began shooting at him. Pulling the trigger he fired four shots pinning both splicers to the wall, dead.

Continuing around the wall he just pinned the slicers to, Delta saw a body laying in the middle of the room. It was glowing and filled with ADAM. " Look Daddy, it's an angel!" the little sister said excitedly from his shoulder. Delta knew what happened when he set a little sister down to gather ADAM. The splicers swarmed. So, he'd have to be prepared.

Taking out the rivet gun, he changed the ammo to trap rivets. Skillfully placing them at every entrance of the room, he also put a few around the body, just in case they got close enough. Putting his drill bit back on, Delta took the little sister off his shoulder and placed her beside the body.

The Little Sister began draining the ADAM from the corpse. Delta backed up and watched the entrances. He could hear the splicers coming. Most of them ran right through the entrance and were taken out by the trap rivets. Once all the rivets were used up the entrances were clear. When another splicer charged in, Delta ran forwards spinning his drill and hit a splicer square in the face killing him instantly.

He could feel shots on his back and he turned putting the attacker on fire and watching as she screamed and ran for water. Finally, there was only one splicer left, but as he got close to the little sister and the body she was draining, the trap rivets were activated and killed the splicer.

The little sister was done draining the ADAM and she ingested it into herself. " All done daddy!" she said with a smile. Delta picked up the young girl and placed her on his shoulder. Delta began walking towards one of the vents knowing that the little sister's job was done. " It's dream time daddy." she said tiredly rubbing her eyes.

Standing in front of the vent Delta took the little sister from his shoulder and held her in front of him with one hand. With the other, he placed it on her forehead and rid her of the sea slug within her. It was painful, Delta tried his best to consume as much pain as possible. But it was worth it because in the end the little girl survived.

Placing her down Delta felt as though the wind was knocked out of him from saving the girl and absorbing the ADAM within her. As she began climbing back into the vent Delta saw what looked like a movie playing before him. It was memories, showing what Stanley Poole did.

" Look father. Once Stanley knew the others were on to him he decided to take care of the situation and rid any witnesses or those who were on to him. By destroying the pipes he caused a flood and that was the end of Dionyasses park. He silenced them forever." Eleanor said through the link she shared with Delta.

Discovering the whole truth about Stanley and what he did. He was the reason that Delta became what he is, and he also turned Elanor into the orphanage, separating them. Delta would make the man pay.

" Wow.. you uh.. you did it ! Meet me back at the train station and the key is all yours to start the train. Thanks pal!" Stanley said through the intercom.

As Delta made his way back there was another voice that unpleasantly made its way to his ears.

" Dear Delta, you have just helped the very man who turned you into Andrew Ryan to make you what you are today. He separated you and Elanor, he was the start of you life as a killing machine. I knew of the treachery and what he did, but I forgave him a long time ago. The door to the booth is open now, it's up to you whether he lives or dies. If you can survive that long.." Lamb said as she disconnected.

"She...she knew? But... how? I covered my tracks I even.. I even made sure any who even had the slightest chance of knowin' died.. no.. you can't.. you can't kill me. You don't understand.. I had no choice.. Please...no.." Stanley pleaded.

Delta was at the train station by now and he was standing in the doorway of the booth watching Stanley cower in the corner. He soon heard the screech of a big sister heading his way. Grabbing ammo that was inside the booth he turned and reloaded his chain gun. By then, she was already there and throwing objects at him with her telekinetic powers.

Delta was still feeling weak from absorbing the ADAM from all those little sisters, but he would try his best. Lighting the big sister on fire he also unloaded an entire clip from his chain gun into her, but she would not go down.

Several more objects slammed into him causing him to hit the wall stunning him momentarily. Her fire rockets soon headed straight for him. There was debris on Delta and he couldn't move it off in time this wasn't looking good.

Struggling to move the piece of metal he had it half way up when the rocket just about hit him. Using the piece of metal he flung it upwards, the rocket collided with it and exploded. Switching his chain gun for his drill piece he charged at the big sister. Though, his adrenaline was low and his health wavering. He wasn't at full strength and he was getting weaker by the minute, straining every muscle in his body ( and suit ) to defeat this beast.

His drill slammed into the big sister but she used her hands to keep it from penetrating her suit holding him at bay. He continued to push but all of his strength just wasn't there. Finally, she was able to get the upper hand moving the drill bit to the side and jumping over him acrobatically. Hitting him in the back with a rocket, Delta crashed to the ground, his back smoking from the fire.

The big sister turned him on his back and put her foot down on his arm that had the drill. He was out of EVE so he couldn't utilize his powers at the moment so the other hand wasn't as big of a threat. He tried to lift his arm but it was no use. He could hear his own heartbeat. She bent down holding the syringe right at his chest ready to drain him of his life force, but just as she moved her arm forward she was surrounded in a blue energy.

Delta watched as the big sister was lifted into the air and thrown against a wall. There were shots that slammed into her and a purple energy that surrounded her in an odd fashion. The big sister let out a screech and then more shots were fired at her except this time they ignited her on fire. Finally she was slammed against the ground once more and then lay motionless - she was dead.

Delta breathed heavy for a moment and slowly got to his feet. Looking around he wondered who had helped him. He knew that it wasn't Stanley Poole - unless he was looking for some kind of redemption. But, there were odd powers used on the big sister. Ones he didn't even think there were plasmids for - so, he ruled out the help of Stanley.

Looking around he slowly started towards the control booth. He didn't have time to think about who or what saved him, he needed to get to Eleanor. Stopping suddenly at the sound of movement he turned on his heel with his drill up and saw three people standing in the doorway. They were three women. One was bald and short, covered in tattoo's. The other was.. blue and didn't even look human and finally the one in the middle wore a black suit, she had shoulder length brown hair and piercing green eyes. Delta didn't recognize them as anyone he'd ever seen before - and they didn't look like splicers. Hell, one didn't even look human.

Cautiously he gripped his drill tighter. He didn't know if he would be able to take on these people. He didn't know who or what they were and he didn't even know what they were capable of.

"Are you alright?" the female in the middle asked him, taking a hesitant step forwards.

Delta was confused, why was this woman asking if he was alright. Didn't she know what he was, what he was capable of? Though in this state - he probably couldn't do much. But he was still a great amount stronger than the others. But still.

The sound of the train door opening made Delta turn his head slightly. It was Sinclair.

"It's okay sport, they're with us. In fact, they're the ones who helped ya." he said putting his hand on his hip.

Delta lowered his drill and looked back over at the three women. Once he knew they weren't a threat he started towards the control booth while the others made their way to the train. Now inside the control booth he stood looking at Stanley. The man was cowering in a corner shaking.

" P-please don't. I'll do anything I swear.. just dont do nothin' I beg of ya.. please." he begged.

Delta put away his drill and took out his spear gun. Loading it he moved forward and picked up stanley by the neck. Slamming him against the wall he unloaded two spears into each of his hands pinning Stanley to the wall. He screamed as Delta walked away and hit the switch for the train.

"I don't regret turning your little brat in! I should have killed her when I had the chance!" he shouted after Delta. Delta stopped suddenly making Stanley take in a breath.

His fingers on his left hand twitched as he flicked his wrist in Stanley's direction and the man caught on fire. Screaming ensued from inside the booth as he burned to death and Delta returned to the train.

Standing inside the front cart, Delta shut the train door and started the train up. It departed from the platform and into the water, on its way to the next station. He stood there silently thinking about what he had just done to Stanley. His daughter showed him the truth behind that man, he deserved to be punished. Though, Delta hated being looked upon as a monster. But Stanley, he was a bigger monster than Delta could ever be. He made sure that Stanley couldn't harm anyone, ever again.
