Fountaine fisheries, Smugglers cove, Rapture:
"Come on...were close" said Radar as they approached a huge bronze vault door with many decoration such as leaves or flowers molded ontu it.
Radar bang on it a couple of time,
"Who is it?" a voice called from the other side,
"Its me Radar" said Radar,
"Okay Radar, whats the password?" said the voice,
"WHAT? we don't have a password" said Radr,
"Of course we do, I made it up while you guys were gone" said the voice,
"How can we know it if we weren't there?" said Radar rolling his eyes annoyed,
"Well uhh...good point" said the voice before the door opened, on the other side was a Rosie Big daddy, he had some red in his armor and carried a harpoon gun,
"Back so soon hu? Alex was expecting you all" he said letting them in,
"Hey Gamma, how are you holding?" asked Bruiser greeting the Big daddy,
"Holding up...though my back hurst from carrying all that water..I sware if Nero decides to attack Arcaidia again were going to have to reconsider moving arcaindia elsewere or making a back up arcaidia" said Gamma.
Sophie's mouth was wide open...that Big daddy can talk! since when did they learn how to?...the only other big daddy she heard talking was that one that used to be a soldier for Nero.
Looking she decided to save herself a headaque and not ask.
Closing the doors Gamma stood watch as they entered arcaidia.
Looking around it was far larger than Sophie imagined, looking around to see some walls were taken down and such suggested they expanded arcaidia to creat more room for planting and such.
There were more sisters and brothers there than back at Tenenbaums safe house or Minervas den, some Big brothers and sisters stood watch while other sisters/brothers and little siblings worked on planting and growing fruits, tree's ect.
"These trees, vegies and fruit are important...which is why keeping arcadia alive is our main priorety, withouth the trees it means zero food and oxigen for us" said Radar,
"I know, Gear told me" said Sophie looking around amazed at the flowers and trees,
"I bet he didn't tell you that Rue is incharge" said Dasher,
"Who is Rue?" asked Sophie,
"She's incharge of Arcaida and leader of the Big/little sisters, she's nice..but uhh...she scary when angry, so if I were you I'd stay on her good side" said Radar.
Sophie nodded making a personal note.
They reached a door, above it said arborium, pressing some buttons the door opened before letting them in.
Inside they passed through an office and into the main lobby, there were a bunch of sisters and brother talking, they seemed really worried.
"We have to end this war soon...Rapture is falling upon itself because of it" said one brother,
"Months of work restoring Rapture has been loss all because of that Nero" said a sister then there was more chattering.
"Take it easy" said Alex as he tried to calm the worried crowed
"We have been up against worset enemies than Nero, as long as we stick together he won't win, now I want you all to calm down and keep your heads straight", the group calmed down.
"Excuse us" said Bruiser making their appearence known.
Alex looked at them, he seemed to smile, but its hard to tell with the helmet on,
"Radar, Bruiser, Dasher, Sophie" he greeted,
"Czar Alex...the thing..that attacked us finished off our groups, were all thats left" said Radar,
"And my little one has been captured by it" said Bruiser,
"Sophie here claims to know who the Big daddy is" said Dasher,
"Yes, its my grandpa Delta" said SOphie.
Everybody gasped and whispered one another,
"You know him?" asked Sophie a bit shocked,
"Of course we know him, tell me one Big brother, sister or little sibling that doesn't know him" said one of the big sisters with that they began to chatter again till Alex ended it,
"Delta is more useful alive than dead...we should save him" said Alex.
Looking around sophie noticed that whatever Alex said goes,
"But sir...he is bigger, badder and more powerful than before"complained Dasher,
"True..but you know the old saying, the bigger they are the harder they will fall" said Alex "I'll assing a group to capture Delta and help him get back to normal".
Making a pause he looked at the group and said "Bruiser...since he captured your little sister you'll be on the group",
"Thank you Alex" said Bruiser nodding, greatful,
"Sophie, you know a lot about Delta so your in" said Alex,
"But Alex, she is beraly a Big sister, she will slow us down" complained a Big sister,
"Which is why your going to be accompanying her Rue" said Alex.
The big sister named Rue grumbled angry, she wore an old fashion big sister suit, though the sphere cage on her back was very decorated in lots of ribbons and bows, not as many as Alex but still plenty more than hers.
Wrapped around her chestplate was a shash that was tied on her back with a bow, like the obi japanese woman use, she also had a holster on her left leg which she could keep a weapon or a knife of some sort.
Her harvester was a bit smaller than regular big sisters, probably used for stabbing quickly.
"Gear will also join your group, so take this day to rest, the group will set off at early tomorrow"said Alex with that the meeting ended.
Leaving Radar said "No offence but I don't think Rue likes you that much", Sophie looked back, she shivered when she noticed Rue watching her, though the light was green she knew she wasn't happy.
"what was your first clue?" though Sophie as they went to the farmers market.
Farmers market:
Accourding to what Jak said to Sophie The Farmer's Market was Rapture's most lively and popular marketplace.
It was the only place folks could go to obtain the freshest produce - melons, tomatoes, delicious cheese and even pumpkins could be found being hawked by the vendors of the Farmer's Market.
Citizens could also enjoy the exquisite wines at Worley Winery, and honey still dripping from the combs at the Silverwing Apiary and it was stated many times in the signs, the Farmer's Market was established in 1948.
The farmers market is there today, but it seemed more intact than the other parts of Rapture Sophie visited...other than Arcadia that is.
There were a lot of big siblings, little siblings and all sorts of Big daddies, all were relazing a bit after a hard days work or selling wears like weapons, plasmids and food.
"Okay Sophie..you can go along and search for whatever you like, just remember to meet us at the exit of Arcadia" said Radar before he left.
With that Sophie began to look around the main market, it seems the method of paying was adam..which she had none for now.
"This is ridicules" though Sophie,
"Whats ridicules? the fact that Rapture is standing or that we use adam as a method of paying?" she heard, looking behind her she saw Alex, great is he a stalker now?,
Ï am certainly not a stalker"he said,
"Okay, what are you? some sort of mind reader?"demanded Sophie annoyed,
"You could say that"said Alex "Anywho, Jacob send me to give you this, he is sorry he can't give it to you personally cause he has things to do" he gave her two jars full of adam.
"Jacob?"though Sophie taking the jars,
"Don't worry he is fine"said Alex,
"When can I see him?" asked Sophie,
"Someday"said Alex before he disappeared in a burst of red and black ashes.
Sophie looked down at the two jars before going to look around, with some adam she bought incinerate plasmid, telekinesis, also some meat, cheese and bread to eat.
Sitting down under a tree she cut the bread with her hands, added some cheese then the meat before eating it.
She sighted content as the burning hunger in her stomach was stopped.
Looking at the jars of adam she nodded, decided to save it for later.
The next day:
Near the exit to Arcaidia:
Sophie looked at Gear, Bruiser and Rue before setting her sights at Alex,
"I will open a portal which will take you all to the nearest location where Delta is, if things go out of hand don't hesitate to send a call for help" said Alex.
"Open a portal?" though Sophie as she watched, Alex turned his back to them, pointed his arms infront of him then they waited.
At firts nothing happened but then everything changed, the atmosphere began to feel heavy, there was some sort of static electricity around, soon the energy concentrated on his hands as it gathere turning into a ball of light.
As soon as it appeared Alex began to expand it moving his arms, it grew bigger and bigger till a hole appeared on the other side was the ocean, fish swiming around.
Sophie's mouth hung open wide, slowly she walked to the "portal" and reached in, her hand entered then when she took it out her gauntlet was wet.
"Hurry...I don't know how longer I can keep it open" said Alex, nodding all of them jumped into the portal before Alex closed.
Falling to his knees Alex coughed and wheezed, trying to catch his breath as he held his ribs,
"Alex whats wrong?" asked Mathew as he helped his leader up,
"I am fine" mumbled Alex,
"No your not, your both fisically and mentaly exhausted, you need to rest" said Mathew,
"No, I am-" Alex fell down as he tried to stand up.
Rolling his eyes Mathew took hold of Alex arm and helped him up,
"Come on, we got to get you some food and rest" said Mathew as he helped Alex walk then added "Don't argue with me, my mother was a scientist and almost a doctor, she trained me well and I am the head doctor, so don't argue with me".
Alex nodded then asked "How is your mother Tenenbuam taking your disappearence?", sighting Mathew said
"I don't know...I don't think she has even noticed that I am gone",
"I am more than sure she does, so does your dad Jack" said Alex,
"No...he doesn't even know that I am his kid" said Mathew then perked up "But who needs them when I got my rapture family, my brothers and sisters to take care off".
Alex smiled at Mathew, he was always a loyal Big brother.
Meanwhile at the surface:
"NO NO NO! Its a horrible idea" yelled Stanley as the whole family gathered supplies to make their journey to Rapture,
"Its the only hope we have to save Sophie and right now is the time" said Ryan,
"But you said we could not journey to Rapture" complained Stanley,
"I said yet, but now is the time" said Ryan then the door bell rang,
"I'll get it" said Roan sighting as he gave the guns to Tenenbuam.
Walking to the door he opened it, there was a strange man there,
"Hello Andrew family..tell me, do you all know about rapture?" he said leaving the group petrified.
