Fight to the finish!
Rapture:
Total Darkness... it was a very rapidly becoming familiar to Jacob ever since he came to Rapture.
He heard a voice. It said something in a foreign language.
"I think he is okay. Just unconscious." A female voice answered.
"I told you we should have moved faster." Another female voice muttered angrily.
"Sheesh, don't get too upset. At least... wait, I think he's waking up."
Jacob moved his head, grunted. Their voices sounded painful.
"Jacob! Can you hear us!" One of them all but screamed into his ear, Jacob flinched. Jumping up, startled, he found himself surrounded by Big and Little Sisters alike.
Jacob reached for his right arm to find he didn't have his harvester... or any armor, for that matter.
Panicking, Jacob made sure the sheet was covering his modesty and tried to sit up. Only for one of the Sisters to put a hand firmly on his chest.
"No. You have to rest" She said simply.
"Who are you? Where am I!" Jacob demanded.
The Little Sisters giggled at the same time. Jacob yelped and pulled the covers closer to himself. The Sisters took off their helmets, revealing their faces.
One had curly brown hair, she looked like the peppy cheerleader of the group. "My name is Ariana."
The Sister next to her was blond, her short hair was up in pigtails. "Mine is Marina."
The last Sister made Jacob do a double take. She looked exactly like his mother. "My name is Eliana Lorrete." she said then added "We met when you had to choose between saving Andy or harvesting her, I am very glad you decided to save her and all the other Sisters."
"Heeeey what about us!" Complained several voices. The Little Sisters wanted to be introduced too. Eliana laughed. "This is Beatrice" she pointed at the Little Sister wearing a pink dress, her orange hair was done in a braid, her face was sprinkled with freckles.
"Hiya." She greeted eagerly.
"That's Daniella." said Eliana as she pointed at the girl clad in a blue dress with white polka dots, she had black hair which was loose with a matching bow,
"Hello Jacob, and you've already met Rueney-chan, but we call her Rue." Daniella said as she pointed at the little sister wearing the red dress with golden bamboo print. She hid behind the door frame, occasionally peeking. Jacob waved and she immediately ran off.
"Don't feel bad." said Eliana.
"She has acted like that since... ever." Marina admitted.
"And we love her for it." Ariana added, laughing.
Jacob relaxed and smiled a bit, Eliana got up and smiled back at him. "I suggest you get some rest. You've gone through a lot." she said as all of the assembled Sisters got up and left.
Finding himself alone Jacob got comfortable in the bed he was in and looked around, it looked like he was in one of the one-room apartments that the workers used to stay in when they were building Rapture. Placing his head on the pillow Jacob found himself fast asleep within seconds.
Dream:
Jacob found himself in what seemed like the room he was in before, but it was very bright, the walls were painted white, spread across the room were white satin curtains hung around, roses grew around the room, and there were toys scattered around.
Was this heaven? Taking his sheet off Jacob was shocked to find out he was a kid, the same age as he was before he came to Rapture. He wore a pair of loose fitting jeans, a blue shirt under a black jacket, on his feet he wore sneakers.
"Come here." He heard a voice call.
"Huh?" Jacob mumbled as he got up from his bed. Standing up he walked out the room.
There was a long hallway outside.
Everything was the same, it was filled with light, there were white satin curtains draped around. Roses or rose petals across the floor disrupted by a toy or two here and there.
Walking through the hallway he found several statues.
One was a Big brother, he had a little sister in his cage, the sister was tying a bow on the cage. Jacob knew who was the Big Brother was immediately, it was him. It was when he met his first Little Sister. The next statue Jacob saw was of a Big Brother, the Little Sister that was with him, she was offering a teddy bear to him, he just patted her head.
It was when Jacob decided to save the Little Sister instead of killing her for Adam.
The statue next to it was that of a Big Brother. He was holding a chandelier, helping two other Big Brothers who were in danger. It was when Jacob spared Harold and Gerald life instead of killing them.
The next statue was a Big Brother shaking hands with another Big Brother, Jacob's guess it was when he talked to Gear.
The last statue was a Big brother showing mercy to another. Now this one Jacob knew was when he forgave Butch (kinda) and let him live.
All of statues were the good deeds Jacob had done while in Rapture.
"Hurry up now Jacob, don't want to be waiting all day do we?" Said a kind joking voice, following his command Jacob hurried along down the hallway until he reached a door.
The door seemed too big for him to open now but there was a Hidey hole next to it. Jacob had always been curious about what was inside them.
Climbing up he reached the top and pulled himself up before crawling further in.
Crawling he saw a light, reaching it he saw a huge room. It looked like an office. There was a man inside. Could it be his father?
It looked like him.
"DAD!" Jacob shouted as he jumped off the hidey hole to greet his father.
Jacob wanted to hug his dad, he wanted to hear his dad say how brave he was, how proud he was of him.
The man turned around... and Jacob stopped, after a moment of silence Jacob said "Your not my father." the man smirked and asked "How can you be so sure?"
"Your eyes are all wrong. My dad's left eye is blue and his right eye is brown. Yours are the other way around." Jacob explained.
The man laughed heartily "I thought I was going to trick you, but I guess your to smart for that."
Jacob was less than amused, but the man could very well be his uncle so he let it go. "Are you Roan, My dad's twin?"
"The one and only. I have to say my dear nephew, you did a perfect job. Even better than I expected. I guess that runs in our blood, doing even better than expected, I mean. But here I am talking to you to sleep. Come here and have something to eat." Roan said, walking over to a round table, opening a silver covering he revealed a piece of pizza pie, Jacob's favorite. How did he knew what he liked?
Walking over Jacob pulled the chair, sat down on it, taking the pie he ate a piece,
"Is it good?" asked Roan.
"It's good." Jacob answered, it was the best pizza pie he has ever eaten, although they say hunger is the best spice and he hadn't eaten in... he didn't even know how long.
"I'm glad." said Roan smiling.
"Roan I-
"Please, call me Uncle... or uncle Roan at least, you call Jack, Uncle Jack even if your not related to him." Roan interrupted.
"Okaaay, Uncle Roan. How do you know what I have and haven't done?" Jacob asked suspiciously.
"Easy, you see I have been watching you for a long time, and I mean a really long time. Since you were a baby." Roan answered before his voice gained a scolding tone. "It wasn't funny when you melted your sister's dolls for your science project in second grade, or when you burned her picture on the stove recently."
"Wait, you saw me? But, I was alone!" Jacob exclaimed.
"No Jacob, you thought you were alone." Roan pointed out. "I was always there, watching out for you and your sister. Like a guardian angel... or a Big Daddy protecting his Little Sister, if you prefer, whichever makes you feel safer."
Jacob was surprised, an uncle that knew him as good as his own father, but he knew nothing about him.
"Are we dead?" asked Jacob.
"No, this is just a dream we're both sharing." Roan answered.
"Really?"
"Yes, either you or me can make it look like whatever we want."
"Can I try?"
"Go ahead." Roan answered, curious of what he would change it to.
Closing his eyes Jacob concentrated. The room around them slowly began to expand, it began to fade and change.
Looking around Jacob smiled, it was an old memory. It was when his dad, mom and the whole family went on a picnic. It was the only day in memory that they acted like a real family. They actually paid attention to him and his sister didn't hog all of the attention.
"Hey, I saw this, it was funny when Delta ran away from... what's her name?" Roan trailed off, trying to think of the older woman's name.
"It's Aunt Gracey" said Jacob, losing himself in the memory he kept talking. "You're right, it was pretty funny. In the end he ended up climbing up a tree to avoid her Cane Swings of Doom."
"Okay, I wish we could have more fun together, but it will have to wait." Roan said sadly.
Lowering his head Jacob asked. "Its Gilbert right?"
Roan nodded. "Jacob, you can get a little pay back at him. Its your chance and I'll help."
"Really, how?" asked Jacob.
"You see, me and your father were born with a special mental ability. You must have inherited one too. it may just be locked away somewhere in your mind, I'll unlock it for you." said Roan.
That would be kinda cool, if he had Roan's telekinesis he could lift many things, even himself, oooh, there's a thought. Maybe he could learn to fly? If he had his father's clairvoyance, he could see things before they happened, that could be useful in battle and bringing Rapture back to life.
"I can unlock it for you, but it has to be of your own free will." said Roan,
"Okay, but on one condition." said Jacob,
"What is that?"
"Tell me what happened to you."
Roan paused, scratching his head and thinking about it he finally nodded "Its kind of a long story. Let me show you" The room began to change, it closed up until it was a small, rather plain, room. It had plain of everything, a desk, lamp, bed, nothing more, nothing less.
A young Roan was sitting down on the ground, looking sad.
"For a long time I was a prisoner to Andrew. Everyday he made me go through rigorous test. Trying to find out how my power worked. One day I got the chance and managed to escape. Once outside I saw my brother for the first time. He... he didn't remember me..." Roan said sadly.
"When I saw that I had no reason to return to my family, I left. Only to be captured by Fountain's men and turned over to the Little Brother program. There... I became a failed experiment."
"How can you be a failed? Your not overly violent." said Jacob.
"It was because a twist in fate really. One day me and a few Little Brothers escaped from our confinements, caused chaos in the laboratory. I tipped over a shelf and was exposed to a jar filled with bluish liquid." said Roan.
"Big daddy hormones?" asked Jacob,
Roan nodded, "The very same. That was when I got a grip on myself. I could control myself, but the others weren't so lucky. They began to kill one eachother until I was the only one left. I managed to escape and kept myself hidden for years until word leaked out that there was another Big Brother, I went to fin him so I could destroy him,only to find out he was my own brother. We both just... stared at one another for the first time in many many years, I could hear the thoughts in his head. He knew we looked too much alike. But he never thought of the possibility that we could be twins. The closest he came was thinking I was his clone actually." Roan chuckled, trying to cheer himself up.
"So you left and stayed here?" said Jacob.
Roan nodded.
After thinking for a minute Jacob said "Alright, lets do this."
Roan placed his hands in Jacob's forehead and concentrated. Suddenly Jacob was struck with a horrible headache, now he knew why his dad never wants people to talk to him when he had a headache... it was... unpleasant.
His vision faded to white before everything snapped back into focus, but everything was different.
Rapture:
Waking up Jacob got up and looked around. He was in the same room he had been with the other Sisters, but he was alone. Looking around he found a pair of white baggy pants set on the foot of his bed with a matching shirt, his suit was set on the floor, leaning against the wall. Taking them Jacob quickly put them on before he put on his suit.
Once he was fully ready Jacob wondered what ability he had unlocked. Looking at a chair that was in his room he concentrated on it... and nothing happened. 'I guess that rules out telekinesis.' Jacob reasoned before he left the room.
He walked down the hallway to a large room where he found that he was not alone anymore.
Inside the room were ten Big Sisters, all around them were about sixteen Little Sisters spread across the room, either they were talking to one of the Big sisters or just playing around with the little toys they had or drawing on the walls and floors.
"KONICHIWAAA" A voice below him squealed. "Gah!" Jacob jumped not sure what to say, Ru stared up at him. "Er... konichiwa?" He said, giving a little wave.
"You didn't say anything wrong, she was just saying hello. You said hello to her too." Eliana explained as she walked towards Jacob,
"Oh thanks mom... I mean Eliana! Sorry." Jacob winced, the resemblance was uncanny when she gave that caring smile.
"I know, Roan told me that I looked like your mother. If I do than she must be really pretty."
"She is." Jacob smiled, ignoring the pings of home sickness before asking, "Where's Roan?"
"He'll be back, just left to get some supplies. You've been sleeping for a while." said Eliana.
"Yeah, but I want to know one thing. How long have I been out?" Jacob asked.
"You've only been asleep here for about twenty-five hours, but when you first woke up here in Rapture you had been out for six months." explained Eliana.
"SIX MONTHS!" Jacob shrieked not believing what he heard.
"Yes, that's how long you've been passed out for before you woke up and found your suit."
"No wonder all the Big Brothers were already used to Rapture. Aww man if I get back to the surface my mom is gonna kill me!" Jacob moaned.
"I don't think she will, I guess we'll have to find out when we get back. Hows about we get you something to eat?"
Jacob nodded, only managing to force out "Food good." as he suddenly realized how hungry he was. Eliana took him across the room, all eyes fell on him, the Sisters whispered to eachother, making Jacob nervous.
Picking a clean bowl Eliana gave it to Jacob before she filled it with a type of soup from the huge cauldron from where it was cooking. Seeing as he couldn't see a flame he assumed the Big Sister's used Incinerate to cook with. He would have to try that sometime...
Using his plate Jacob took a sip, it was potato soup. Very hearty and nutritional, yet creamy and chunky at the same time.
Eliana told him he could get as many refills as he wanted, but he stopped after seconds, not wanting to hog all the food.
After finishing his second dish Roan appeared with a huge bag. No sooner than he took off his helmet all the sisters went crazy. He had to drop the bag and try and calm them down before they ripped his hand off. "Wow! Calm down, there's plenty for everybody, make a line" he instructed.
The Big Sisters did as he said. The Big Sister were older and more mature, but the Little Sisters weren't, they circled him trying to hug him at the same time. In the end they ended up dog piling poor Roan.
The Big Sisters eventually pried the Little Sisters off of Roan, Eliana helped him up. "affectionate aren't they?" Eliana giggled.
"Very. I don't know how you keep them in order while I'm gone." Roan replied as he pulled her in for a hug and gave Eliana a kiss.
"." A chorus of Little Sisters rang before they burst into a giggling frenzy.
Looking at them Jacob couldn't help but joke "So you two married?"
"Yeah, sort off, we had an unofficial Rapture wedding" Eliana smiled, taking off her gantlet showing Jacob a fairly large diamond ring.
"Yep, had to kill twenty splicers to get to that, but it was worth it" Roan boasted.
Eliana slapped his chest. "Oh you, that number gets bigger everytime you say that."
Jacob looked at them. They looked like the perfect couple, like his mom and dad. Speaking of which...
"Look, this is good and all but I need to know where Red is." Jacob asked wanting to get pay back. Red tricked him, tried to get him to kill his own uncle. Captured and tortured his father. Red was going to pay dearly for that.
"I wished I could tell you but don't be afraid. We'll help you in any way we can." said Roan. He gave Ryan a katana, a new bag of bombs and the small crossbow he had attached in his armor.
"Thanks" Jacob said before looking around. "Where's Sparrow?"
"Oh...so that was the thing I stepped on...?" Roan asked sheepishly as he held what looked like scrap metal.
"Sparrow..." Jacob said sadly as he took the scrap. Poor Sparrow, he was good friend... there wouldn't be another friend like him.
"Don't worry, we'll fix him a jiffy." said Roan as he took back Sparrow.
Jacob nodded greatfully.
"While you wait you need a Little Sister to guide you back to the upper atruim, choose one and she'll lead you back." Roan said before he slipped out of view into the next room.
Looking around Jacob saw all of the little sisters, they were happily playing with some new toys Roan brought. They all looked happy with what they were doing, making his problem of who was going to escort him rather difficult.
"Endymion-sama" He heard, looking down he saw it was Rue.
She raised her hands up, it took Jacob a second to get what she wanted but when he did he chuckled, "Not too shy now huh?" he told her. Gently he took her and placed her in his sphere cage.
Once she seemed comfortable in the sphere cage Jacob walked over to what seemed like the exit of the place. There he found Sparrow repaired, and he wasn't alone, he was with another drone but this one had a pink stripe. They beeped happily when they saw him and flew over.
"Sparrow! Good to see you in one piece." Jacob said happily as Sparrow sat on his right shoulder.
"Who's your friend?" asked Jacob, Sparrow beeped rapidly at him excitedly.
"Hello... Jacob can you hear me?" Roan asked through Jacob's radio.
"Hey Uncle, I can hear ya loud and clear." answered Jacob.
"I will be opening the doors about now. When you find your father we'll be there to fight." said Roan before logging off.
The doors opened letting Jacob, Sparrow and Rue out.
Rapture, pauper drop:
Ru, Jacob noticed, was by far the quietest little sister Jacob had ever traveled with. She only pointed when he asked her for directions.
"hahaha, so Jacobs want to be a hero huh? You know all the heroes die in the end." Gildert cackled through the radio.
"I don't want to be the hero. I just want to do what's right." answered Jacob,
"We'll see about that!" Gilbert snapped. "Hows about we have a little challenge. Come to the deepest part of the foundation, fight me. I win, you die, you win. Rapture is yours to do with as you please."
Jacob thought about it. If he didn't fight then everybody he knew would die. So would his father, if he didn't fight than there could be the risk of him losing.
"Your on." said Jacob.
"Good," Gilbert all but purred. "See you there."
Jacob closed his eyes and concentrated. He thought about how the deepest part of the foundation looked like. There were a lot of gaps in the picture but he did the best he could and let the plasmid do what he couldn't.
A small ripping sound and a burst of red ash and he was gone.
Deepest part of the Foundation:
Jacob saw he was in a hallway of some sort.
"So you came... Well! Don't just stand there! Come over here and fight me." Said an inhuman voice.
Taking Rue off his back Jacob turned to her. "Go, run to your hidey hole where you'll be safe. I'll take care of this." Rue gave him a sad look and hugged his leg before running off.
Looking at the other side of the hallway Jacob began to walk towards the voice.
Entering he found a huge room, Gilbert was in his tank, his tank was connected with a huge wire, and the wire was connected to a huge body. It was a Big Daddy of some sort. It was huge, it's the helmet looked like it belong to a Rosie, the body looked more like a Rumbler though, only bigger and more muscular.
It also had another wire connected to it which lead to what seemed like a huge chamber. Jacob bet that that was where Gilbert was keeping all of the Big Brothers and his Father.
"Jacob! Just in time. Lets see how strong you truly are!" Gilbert said with that he seemed to activate, the machine began to glow and make noise. Then screams rang out in pain. It was the Big Brothers'. Jacob ran to the chamber to free them only to be stopped by Gilbert. He was now in the huge Big Daddy suit.
"Not so tough now are you?" Gilbert taunted as he swung his huge fist at Jacob knocking him out. opening his eyes Jacob saw the fist coming and dodged. Wait a second... didn't Gilbert already swing at him? Did that mean he had his fathers Clairvoyance?
Gilbert tried to charge at him at full speed. Somehow Jacob kept seeing Gilbert before he attacked so dodging was getting easier and easier.
"GIVE UP!" Shouted Jacob, he knew those charge attacks took a huge toll of energy on Gilbert. "Aren't we confident?" Mocked Gilbert as he took out what looked like a huge rocket launcher. Shooting rockets at Jacob he knew it was only a matter of time before he was defeated. He couldn't dodge forever.
"Ja.. Jacob... send the drone... please." Gears voice whispered weakly through the radio.
"Sparrow..think you can get into the chamber without being detected?" asked Jacob. Sparrow beeped once confidently and flew over, ready to complete the mission given to him.
In one of those attack Jacob got close enough and attack the joints in Gilberts legs. He collapsed screaming curses. A burst of lightning hit jacob from the exposed circuitry and hit Jacob. A plan formed in his head as he saw that Gilbert couldn't move his legs, but seeing as how he was repairing himself he would have to be quick.
Looking Sparrow came over with what looked like an old school little sister harvester,
"Jacob... suck the Big Daddy gene's from Gilbert... give them back to us..." Gear's voice was even weaker now. By the sound of it Jacob knew he had no time to waste.
With that in mind Jacob began to work. Using bombs he managed to damage Gilbert's elbow joints and re-damage his knees before running over and using the harvester to collect the Big Daddy gene. Once done harvesting Jacob ran over, pressed the harvester against the machine and it gave brothers their genes back.
It took about five tries. And he ran out of bombs and had to melt the armor as best as he could to hold him down the last time but finally Jacob had sucked all of the genes from the suit.
"You... YOU LITTLE BRAT! I AM GOING TO TEAR YOU TO-
"GET HIM!" Several voices cried. The Big Sisters' appeared and finished Gilbert off.
Taking deep breaths Jacob knew the battle was over. The good guys won.
Evil Jacob:
Rapture, Time unknown.
Darkness... a very familiar picture to Jacob ever since he got to Rapture. He heard a voice It said something in a foreign language
"I think he's okay. Just knocked out." Said a female voice.
"I don't like this. He shouldn't be here... or even alive." Another girl growled.
"If Roan thinks we should give him a chance. Then we should at least... Wait, I think he's waking up."
Jacob moved his head and grunted, their voices sounded painfully loud. "Jacob! Can you hear us!" Someone seemed to scream in his ear, Jacob flinched. Jumping up, startled, he found himself in a cell. Outside of the cell was surrounded by Big Sisters and Little Sisters.
Jacob noticed the lack of weight on him and looked down to see a naked chest. Where'd his armor go?
Getting off the cot in the cell he tied the blanket around his waist to cover himself up and glanced around, no exits, wonderful.
The Sister's just looked at him. It was impossible to tell what they were thinking.
"Who are you and where am I?" Jacob asked kindly, if he was to forceful he would scare off the Little Sister's.
The Big Sisters' just looked at one another.
Jacob sat on the edge of the cot and stared right back at them. They eventually took off their helmets revealing their faces. One had curly brown hair, she looked like the peppy cheerleader of the group, judging by the happy grin on her face. "My name is Ariana."
The sister next to her was blond, had her short hair was up in pigtails. "Mine is Marina."
The last sister, looking at her Jacob knew she was the oldest of the group. She looked exactly like his mother. She looked almost identical. "My name is Eliana Lorrete." she said.
There were Little Sisters with them. One was wearing a pink dress, her orange hair was done in a braid, her face was sprinkled with freckles, the girl next to her was clad in a blue dress with white polka dots, she had black hair which was loose with a matching bow.
There was one more Little Sister wearing the red dress with golden bamboo print. The same one that helped him sneak into Gears office. She hid behind the other sisters' occasionally peeking through, she gave him a "shhh" motion before immediately running off. What was that girl planning?
The Big sisters kept watching him for some time, he assumed he was making them uncomfortable with his staring because the two younger Big Sisters were fidgeting, before they left the room. Once they were gone the Little Sister with the red dress came back. She had her harvester with her. He once again wondered what she was planning.
"What are you doing?" Jacob asked, she made another shush motion.
And than she stabbed him.
"Ow..." Was all he managed to say before he passed out, it felt... off, though. Like he was detached from his body.
Little Sister's Body, Time Unknown
Jacob found himself on what seemed like the room he was in before, but there was lots of light, the walls were painted white, across the room there were some white satin curtains hung around, roses grew around the room and there were toys scattered around. Laying behind a sheet of glass was... him. Only he was dressed in white tuxedo pants instead of a sheet loosely tied around his hips.
This... this was how the Little Sister's see the world? No wonder they were so freakin cheerful all the time...
He was in the mind of the little sister, but why would she help him?
"Hey...Why are you doing this?" Jacob asked, she replied by saying something in japanesse.
"Do you know english?" asked Jacob. She, again, answered in japanesse... 'I'll take that as a no' he thought ruefully.
Finally she said something in a language he knew, russian. "What are your intentions?" Jacob asked agaim in russian.
"I want to help you" She said.
"What's the catch?" Jacob asked suspiciously
"What is a catch?"
"Never mind." Jacob said. The Little Sister was doing what she was doing out of the goodness of her heart, surprisingly.
"What's your name?"
"Runey, but the Big Sisters call me Rue."
"Okay."
She walked out the room into a long hallway.
Everything was the same. It was filled with light, there were white satin curtains draped around, roses or rose petals across the floor or toys.
Walking through the hallway he found several statues.
One was a Big brother, he had a little sister on his cage, the sister was tying a bow on his cage. Jacob knew the Big brother was him. It was when he met his first Little Sister.
The next statue was the Little Sister crying while the Big brother took away her teddy bear. It must have symbolized when he kil- er, made her an angel.
The statue next to it was of a Big Brother staring at two other Big Brothers who were being crushed, watching as they died instead of helping. It was when Jacob got rid Harold and Gerald.
The next statue was of a Big brother putting shackles on another Big Brother. Jacob's guessed was when he recruited Gear to be his minion.
The last statue was himself stabbing another Big Brother. With a fond smile he remembered his fight and than execution of Butch.
All of statues were the deeds Jacob did while in Rapture. The Little Sister stopped and looked at every single one before hurrying down the hallway until they reached a door.
The door was too big for her to open for her small body, but there was a Hidey hole next to it. Jacob had always had the curiosity to use one of them but was to big. Climbing up she reached the top and pulled herself up before crawling further in.
She continued crawling for a minute or two before she reached a big room. Inside was a man that looked very familiar.
It looked like him... Yes, it had to be him.
"DAD!" Jacob shouted as Rue gave him control of their shared body. Running over to give his father a hug the man turned around causing Jacob to stop. after a moment of silence Jacob said "That's not my father."
"True, this is Roan" Rue said to him.
Roan had his face dug into his hands
"I can't believe my own nephew would do this..." He was suffering, the woman next to him, Eliana said "I am sorry, but I warned you."
"I know love, I know." said Roan.
Quietly Rue ran across the room to what looked like a storrage room.
Once there she looked trunk after trunk till she found Jacob's suit, before leaving she began to put things Jacob might need. A new katana, a new arm attached bolt launcher, and a spear gun. She was going to grab a pile of bombs but Jacobs frantic NO!'s made her leave them alone. She began to pull the trunk out. It surprised Jacob how strong Rue was. It made sense though, if HE was made stroger by becoming a Big Brother why wouldn't she becoem stronger by being a Little Sister?
She peeked into Roans office. He wasn't there, she went over to his desk and took out what looked like a plasmid of sorts before taking all of it and running back to where Jacob's body was. She took the plasmid and injected it into Jacob's body.
Even though Jacob wasn't in his body he was suddenly struck with a horrible headache, now he knew why his dad never wanted people to talk to him when he had a headache. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
There was a flash of bright light and he felt a pulling sensation.
Rapture:
Waking up Jacob got up and looked around. He was still in the cell. Noticing his suit on the ground near the bars he gathered it up and set it on the cot before he started putting it on. Rue blushed and turned around.
Once fully dressed Jacob wondered what ability he got. Thinking for a secon he realized the plasmid may have been Roans version of telekinesis. Looking at a chair that was in his room he concentrated on it... aaand nothing happened, crap.
"I guess that rules out telekinesis." Grumbled before ripping the cell door open. Patting Rue softly on the head he walked out the the room. He walked down the hallway to a large room, there he found ten Big Sisters, all around them were about sixteen Little Sisters spread across the room, either they were talking to one of the Big sisters or just playing around with the little toys they have or drawing on the walls and floors.
Looking around he noticed the Big Sister's preparing for a fight. Seeing as how he was rather outnumbered he would probably die if he tried to fight them all. Adam was easy to come by anyway for him now that he seemed to have acquired a Little Sister that was loyal to him so he didn't really need to kill any of them anymore.
Dropping his weapons and helmet on the nearby table he held up his hands in surrender. The Big Sister's calmed down slightly. They still looked ready to kill him at the drop of a hat but it was still better than a few seconds ago.
Seeing a pot on a table nearby he walked over and got himself a large bowl of soup. 'Mmm, potato...' He thought as he grabbed a spoon and sat on the couch near the door to enjoy his meal.
Almost two seconds after he finished his bowl Roan burst into the room, looking frantic. He looked around wildly before noticing Jacob relaxing on the couch. His mouth opened multiple times, trying to speak.
Giving a cheeky wave and a wink he walked up to his dumbfounded uncle and put the dirty bowl and spoon in his hand before walking past him.
He found Rue waiting for him outside, she was playing with a surprisingly intact Sparrow.
"Hey Rue, Sparrow, glad to see your still functional." Jacob greeted. Once Sparrow flew over to him Rue looked sad, uncertain. Nodding to himself he kneeled down in front of her. "I've decided, you're mine now." She just cocked her head to the side and looked at him, confused.
"Oh, right, sorry." He cleared his throat and switched to Russian. "I've decided to keep you."
She smiled at him before hugging him and climbing on his back.
"Right than, lead the way. We have some revenge to get and a minion to save." Jacob declared before sprinting away, following his newest, and cutest, minion's directions.
Rapture, pauper drop:
Despite the language barrier being broken Jacob soon realized Rue was still a rather quiet girl. She only spoke when he asked for directions.
"Hahaha...so the 'Hero' returns!" Gilbert said through the radio as Jacob entered the large ballroom.
"Not really, i'm feeling much more apathetic after you tried to kill me. I'm going to return the favor now, if you don't mind." Jacob joked before making sure his spear gun was ready to fire.
"We'll see about that" said Gilbert. "Hows about we have a little challenge. Come to the deepest part of the foundation, fight me. I win, you die, you win. Rapture is yours to do as you please."
"You're on!" Jacob said immediately.
"Good, see you there!" Gilbert gave one last taunt before logging off.
Jacob closed his eyes, ready to use his teleportation plasmid. He thought about what the deepest part of the foundation looked like. There were a lot of gaps in the picture but the plasmid did most of the work. A small ripping sound and a burst of red ash and he was gone.
Deepest part of the Foundation:
Jacob saw he was in a hallway of some sort.
"So you came. Don't just stand there. Come over here and fight me." An inhuman voice said.
Taking Rue out of his sphere cage (which was rather difficult as she wouldn't let go) Jacob replied "Go, run to your hidey hole and wait. This shouldn't take to long."
Rue gave him a sad look, he wasn't sure if it was because she thought he was going to die or the fact that he was leaving her behind, but nodded, hugged his waist, and ran off.
Looking at the other side of the hallway Jacob began to walk towards it. Opening the large double doors he found a huge room, Gilbert was in his tank and his tank was connected with a huge wire. The wire was connected to a huge body. It was a Big Daddy of some sort. It was huge, the helmet looked like it belonged to a Rosie, the body was that of a Rumbler, only bigger, and more muscular, like a bouncer.
It also had another wire connected to it which lead to what seemed like a huge chamber. Jacob was betting that that was where Gilbert was keeping all of the Big Brothers, plus his Father.
"Jacob, just in time. Lets see how strong you truly are." Gilbert said and activated the machine. It began to glow and spark.
Then screams of pain started from the chamber. Jacob contemplated saving his minion and father, but his decision was cut off by Gilbert's new body coming to life.
"Not so tough now huh?" Gilbert laughed as he swung his huge fist at Jacob, caving in his helmet. Opening his eyes Jacob saw the fist coming and dodged.
...Wait a second... didn't Gilbert already swing at him? Did that mean he had his fathers Clairvoyance?
Gilbert tried to charge at him at full speed but Jacob kept seeing Gilbert before he attacked so dodging was easy, and getting easier as he got used to his new gift. He knew the charge attacks took a huge toll of energy on Gilbert, so if he just waited he could wait him out.
"You may be able to handle me, but can you handle this?" Gilbert taunted as he took out what looked like a large rocket launcher. Dodging rockets Jacob knew it was only a matter of time before he was defeated. Before he could think up a plan he heard something. "Ja... Jacob... send your drone... please." It was Gear. Seems his minion made a plan for him, how useful.
"Sparrow, sneak into the chamber." Jacob commanded. Sparrow bobbed once as he nodded and flew off.
Getting sick of dodging missiles Jacob started grabbing them out of the air with his telekinesis plasmid and hurling them back. It only took a few missiles before one connected with Gilbert's chest. Throwing him onto his back. Unsheathing his katana he sprinted over and jumped in the Big Daddies chest and started cutting.
"Jacob... suck the Big Daddy gene's from Gilbert... give them back to us... " Gear said, voice next to a whisper.
Seeing as how every slice he was making was slowly healing he decided to go with Gears suggestion.
Stabbing his harvester into Gilbert's chest he extracted a jar full and looked around. Seeing the machine by the chamber holding the Big Brother's and deposited the gene's into it.
He had to repeat the process a few times but on the last run back he only had about half a jar full. Thinking quickly he realized if he was going to stay alive he needed to be stronger than everyone else... by a lot. Judging by the lack of dead bodies when he opened the chamber door they seemed fine now anyway so he injected the last bit into himself.
His eyes shot wide open immediately as he felt pure power coursing through his veins.
Seeing Gilbert trying to stand up he growled and sprinted over, slicing the back of his legs he watched him fall back down. Marching onto his chest once more he held both his hands above his head. Gathering the hottest flames he could make in his right hand and the most powerful lightning he could in his left he gave a shout as he brought both fists down on the center of Gilbert's visor.
The explosion created rocked the room and threw the slowly recovering Big Brother back onto they're backs.
Blinking the spots out of his vision Jacob looked down at Gilbert, or at least what was left of him. Only his legs had survived the blast, they were at the very edge of the still glowing red crater, twitching occasionally.
Stepping out of the crater he sat down. He'd won, but now what? Maybe he could try his hand at taking over the world?
