Authors note: Well here is another chapter, were getting extremely close to the end. So review and enjoy this new chappy.
Outer Persephone, rapture:
Looking Sophie saw a small army had gathered on the exit of Persephone, there were several scout Big brother/sisters, elite Big brothers/sister, Medics and Big daddies.
It seemed that Alex gathered half of his army for this mission,
"He did" she heard, looking it was Bruiser,
"Hey Bruiser, hows Sarah?" asked sophie,
"She is okay, thanks to you and the others" said Bruiser,
"No problem...think were going to win?" asked Sophie,
"Of course, why shouldn't we" said Bruiser with confidence,
"How can you guys be so confident? if I was you i'd be peeing my pants from how scared and nervous I am" said Sophie,
"Just because you are scared doesn't mean your any less valueble than we are, your here right, ready for battle?" said Bruiser,
"Yes?" said Sophie,
"Then your just as brave or even more than us, true bravery is those how face their fears even if their scared to death" said Bruiser,
"Thanks" said Sophie giving him a little smile, even if its not seen cause she is wearing her helmet.
She heard a bump, looking it was Rue,
"Its time" she said.
Point Prometheus, Rapture:
Point Prometheus features a natural history museum, which has been converted to the Big Daddy Proving Grounds, labeled with an official sign on the floor as "Armored Escort Proving Grounds;" a large library, named the Mendel Memorial Research Library, which features many books related to genetics; and multiple industrial suites.
These are mostly geared at high-tech industry, such as Optimized Eugenics, where much of Rapture's Plasmid technology was likely developed.
Before they were converted to Big Daddy and Little Sister creation facilities under Andrew Ryan, these industrial areas were part of Fontaine Futuristics Genetic Research Department.
This is apparent by the old swinging doors, signs, and Little Sister's Orphanage posters stashed in a closet with its door frozen shut.
Under Dr. Yi Suchong, at the behest of Andrew Ryan, the facilities were converted to create Big Daddies and Little Sisters.
Unfortunate candidates for either occupation were subjected to horrific mental and genetic reconditioning to serve as the proverbial glue of Rapture.
Little Sisters were nurtured and trained to gather ADAM in the Little Wonders Educational Facility while Big Daddies were permanently altered into behemoths and armed to the teeth with lethal weaponry in order to protect their charges.
While the labs are now in ruins, there are still plenty of components for one more Big Daddy.
Which is what Nero is using to make Big daddies.
"Thats the place" said Mathew as he looked through some type of underwater telescope "I see the splicer pilling up from every nook and crany",
"Well there is only thing to draw them out" said Gear as he walked over to some sort of contraption, it looked like one of those tanks used to shoot rockets out durring the world war 2.
"I have been working on this all week, it made out of scrap and left overpartsfrom bathyingspheres, shoots a deadly combination of steal, heat and gun powder that will be powerful enough to destroy those bullet proof windows" said Gear "The plan is to draw them out and into their emergency bathyingspheres once there the Thinker will hack into the spheres and lock the splicers in and take them to persephone so we can cure them",
"Nice" said Bruiser and Mathew impressed,
"Would you do the honors Bruiser?" said Gear,
"I though you'd never ask" said the tigger me happy Big brother as he hopped on the machine, following Gear's instruccions he setted the machine ready to fire.
"wait for it" said Gear as he scanned the area, seeing everything was clear Gear yelled "FIRE!".
A huge explosion was heard as the machine fired a ball of fire.
Hitting the bullet proof glass it shattered and water started coming in fast.
Panicking the splicers began to run for it, they had more than enough sense to run to the emergency bathynsphere's.
Entering the door of the bathyingsphere shut,
"Welcome, please enjoy your ride to the persephone holding facility" said a female voice,
"What tha!" they yelled.
Meanwhile inside of the building:
A group entered and started to gather all the splicers which didn't make it to the emergency bathyingspheres while Sophie and Alex head on deeper into the building.
Sophie looked at Alex as she followed him, trusted him to lead her where she needed to go.
"ahahahahahahah Alex and Sophie, the dynamic duo has come to save Rapture, please...Everybody knows what happened, Andrew Ryan came back from the dead as Alex to fix the mistakes he has made ahahahahah will see about that" laughed Nero insanely through their radio.
"I think the adam overdose went to his head" said Alex,
Sophie chuckled trying to hide how scared she was,
"Don't worry...Nero is all talk and no bite" said Alex as the stopped at a locked door, a safe fail mechanism.
Taking her hand Alex teleported them to the other side.
Teleporting felt exilarating for Sophie, it was like sparks of energy were dacing around her skin.
An evil laugh broke through the walls, looking up to the second floor they saw the figure of Nero, though he had changed a lot from the last time Sophie saw him.
His uniform was a mess, the medals and honors lost their shine, he had tumors and boils coming out of his left leg and face, his right arm had "exploded" into a huge mass of muscle and tissue while his left arm was small and scrawny.
"I see the coward has appeared" said Alex as he looked unimpressed.
"Are you sure your not talking about you?" said Nero,
"You talk too much" said Alex as he charged and threw a ball of fire at Nero, a ball that he beraly dodged,
"You will pay for that, in blood!" hissed Nero then he left.
"Come on!" yelled Alex as he ran after Nero, Sophie behind him.
Heading to the top of the room they herd a slam, a large hard steel door shut their way,
"Drat...it will take all the fire power Big brothers have to open this" hissed Alex, then Sophie smiled "Alex I know where we can get more".
She ran, Alex followed, they went up to the second floor, there the walls and such had been destroyed to make cells.
Inside the cells were Big brothers, some were sedated, others were hissing and growling trying to get out.
Alex looked and nodded he got what she was trying to do.
Entering one cell at a time Alex hold the Big brothers while Sophie injected them with the Big daddy hormones, once stabalized they ran back to the first floor.
"So...you managed to turn my army against me...too bad I still have all the card in my hand" said Nero, an alarm sounded when they got to the steel door.
"Splicers...Sophie, your going to have to distract them while me and the brothers take down the door" said Alex, his gauntlest turning red as they got extremely hot.
The other brothers followed his example, they placed their hands on the door which began to grow a faint red as it grew hotter and hotter.
Sophie tightened the valves in her harvester and her free hand grew red as she began to stab and burn any splicer that came her way.
It was a good 12 minutes later before the door was melted cause of the heat.
The big brothers cheered as they left the building,
"Come on" said Alex as he ran ahead, Sophie followed.
"So...you think you two are going to stop me? well this little surprise is going to give you both a blast from the past" said Nero laughing.
Up ahead, lots of boxes of explosives were set, Sophie was going to stop but Alex grab her hand and ran full speed ahead then...explosion detonatied at the same time as a burst of red ashes appeared.
The next thing Sophie knew was that she hit a body of water, twisting and turning violently Sophie grab ontu the first thing she could find.
Once recovered Sophie looked down and found herself going up, hu?
Looking she found she grab the edge of some sort of bathyinsphere and it was going up..fast.
She gets it now...Alex teleported, but it seems that the teleportation wasn't completed when the explosion was set off which cause them to be separated, but where was Alex?
Looking up, she slowly began to climb up to the bathyingsphere as she did ..a memory began to flash over her eyes as she climbed.
Did thid happened before?
Getting to the glass part she looked inside, she saw her whole family tied down to a pole...drowining underwater.
Alex swm over and cut the rope freeing them, they swam up to where there was air, then Alex looked at Nero, it seemed that the commander couldn't swim since he was struggeling underwater.
Swiming over Alex gave Nero some sort of emergency oxigen dispensor.
Then he looked at her, swam over and placed his hand against the glass, Sophie looked, the vision came.
Sophia, her grandmother was in the bathyingsphere, drowning then somebody...wearing the big sister suit Sophie had on now swam over and gave her a breathing device, saving her.
Looked over to where she was, swam and placed a hand against the glass, another hand was placed..it was big and cuby with extra metal and a triangle symbol.
Delta...
Sophie smiled as she went and placed her hand on the glass, she smiled...this felt good.
Then everything went black.
To be continued.
