Chapter 4

AN: So...it's been awhile...DAMN YOU WRITERS BLOCK! I'll try to be more regular or at least more frequent.

Meanwhile in Rapture…

Growing up in Rapture you sooner or later become accustomed to the strange and absurd stuff that happens around here, like splicer doctors running around shouting about semen being everywhere or walking in on the occasional splicer sex romp (extremely disturbing by the way). However, nothing in all of the crazy insanity parade that is Rapture, could prepare a person for fifty imp creatures bowing, groveling, and shouting praises before you…Well there's a first time for everything…

"Wait…so let me get this straight…these little…things…are my slaves?"

"Well I wouldn't call ourselves slaves, we do carry out your biding. And as I mentioned before, we are called minions, milady."

The Big Sister was about to say something when the telltale metal scraping of meat hooks against linoleum herald the approach of spider splicers, and judging from the loud volume of the scraping, there must be at least two dozen.

"Oh don't worry! Only we can hear the magical foghorn blast!" The Big Sis said sarcastically, shooting a withering glare at Gnarl that would have made a normal man cringe and ask for forgiveness, but as Gnarl is neither normal, nor a human man, as well as having generations worth of Overlord/lady glares shot at him, he had become immune.

"The minions must have made a enough commotion to draw some attention." Gnarl said, whilst stroking his beard in thought " Milady, I think this would be an excellent time for you to practice controlling your minions."

"What? I don't need your, or their help to take down a few splicers." The Big Sis scoffed.

"And she's stuck up, just like the other Overlady's" Gnarl mumbled beneath his breath before saying, "I don't doubt your fighting prowess milady, I'm just pointing out that some assistance would be good since, by the sound of it, there are a lot more than 'a few' splicers converging here.

The Big Sis silently weighed her options. Accept help from a group of things you've never seen before, or fight alone against a small horde of spider splicers. She wasn't delusional, just because she was a big sis didn't mean she was invincible, but that didn't mean she was weak either. She could easily take on ten splicers at once, but with almost double the amount…well she wasn't going to walk away without serious injuries.

With a sigh the Big Sis said, "Fine, how do I control them?"

"You need only point and command, heck! You don't even have to say to attack what ever it is, you can just think it and the minions will obey."

"It can't be that simp-" The Big Sis was cut of by a particularly loud spider splicer yelling something about pixies, sugar, and sticks, as the pack of splicers arrived. "Well, I guess it's worth a shot."

Pointing her gauntlet-clad arm towards the oncoming splicers the Big Sis shouted, "MINIONS ATTACK!"

And just like that all hell broke loose, as the minions lifted clubs the Big Sis hadn't noticed them carrying, and charged at the splicers. Not one to sit around and watch, the Big Sis jumped into the fray, using her telekinesis to impale a splicer on her Adam needle. Gnarl looked on as a minion picked up a dead splicers meat hook and stabbed it into the eye of another, still living, splicer. His sadistic joy was evident by the wicked grin playing on his face. 'We've sure got a lively master this time, ooh, look at her go, I didn't know you could break a humans back that way. I guess you learn something new everyday' Gnarl chuckled silently to himself; kicking away a head the Big Sis had just severed from a splicer's body. The battle was short lived, as the minions made quick work of the splicers with the help of their new Overlady.

"Hey, wrinkly! I guess you were right, these little guys sure can fight and they come in handy. I didn't catch your name by the way." The Big Sis said, while looting the dead bodies of the splicers along with the minions.

"My name is Gnarl, milady. I am the minion master and the most trusted advisor to the Overlady." Gnarl said "And what, may I ask is your name, milady?"

"I'm Victoria" The Big Sis replied.

AN: Let me know if you have any suggestions, comments, or what not. It would be very appreciated.
