The group reached the outside of the hall of heroes but something was off, it was too quiet.
"Everyone hold up, Amy, take a look."
She rolled her eyes but closed them before focusing, her body turned ghostly and she merely, walked out of it.
The 'spirit' of the woman walked on ahead while her body remained where it was.
"What was that?"
Kain looked at Booker before answering him.
"It's a plasmid called scout, I'm not sure which version she is using though."
Before Booker could ask another question they heard a loud shot echo from near the entrance to the hall itself, Amy opened her eyes shortly afterwards.
"how many?"
"Five at the entrance, two on the top floors with sniper rifles, three at reinforced positions around the door with heavy machineguns."
"Hmm, it would be unwise for a direct assault, perhaps we should-"
Booker was interrupted by a series of screams and loud explosions, things being smashed and people being burned.
They ran to the entrance but there was utter carnage everywhere, walls were smashed in with people lying at them unable to move, some of the bodies were burnt to a crisp while others were merely beaten to death, they looked to the entrance and saw one man crawling away from a goliath of a human.
The stranger lifted the man before throwing him through the barred entrance and turning to look to audience.
Booker aimed his gun at the monstrous being but Amy put her hand on the weapon and he lowered it slowly.
Kain watched the stranger but he just walked calmly to the nearby sky rails with a sky hook in hand and heading off.
"was that him Kain?"
The man looked back to her and smiled before saying yes.
"The big guy seems to have gotten better, that has to mean that Eleanor has successfully blocked us out from that machine at monument island."
"well at least he is still healthy, I was worried that he would be affected by that machine."
"He probably was but we should keep going."
Booker could hardly believe all the carnage and devastation that a single man caused, Elizabeth was the one to break him from his awe struck daze so they could advance into the Hall Of Heroes.
When the four stepped inside they were greeted by a large talking statue, saying something about fatherland, their focus was on more pressing matters but the bodies littering the floor caught Amy's attention.
"This isn't good Kain, I've seen this before."
"We aren't back in rapture, we will be fine, just, keep your guard up, Elizabeth, see if they have anything that could be of use."
Kain's words seemed to ease the uneasiness that was growing in Amy and Elizabeth seemed more than happy to help, but she still didn't like having to go through a dead man's belongings.
"Obviously she has never been in that nightmare below." Whispered Kain when he saw her disgust, Amy smiled at the quiet taunt.
They all did their part in looting any ammunition of salts for DeWitt but when Amy got up from under a table she saw a person, in the hall way, blocking her from the others, Kain also saw the man but he motioned for her to get back under the desk as the man headed down the corridor to enter the room she was in.
Amy hated having to wait but she knew that their best chance of doing this quietly from here on out, was with Kain, seconds felt like hours as the man came closer and closer but her reprieve came when she heard a meaty piercing sound along with stifled screams of pain.
Kain had forced a sharp rod through the man's heart and quietly put him down before whispering to Amy that they were safe.
When the woman got up se noticed that there were two others she didn't see, both were left with a hole in the chest, same as the one that she had to hide from, Booker and Elizabeth came into view, the latter asking if she was alright.
"Yes I'm fine, come on we need to carry on."
At her request they ventured further into the Hall Of Heroes, reaching a large room, Elizabeth read an inscribed panel, saying that Comstock was the commander of the 7th cavalry, almost immediately Booker said that Comstock did not lead the 7th.
Before Kain could tell them to be silent a loud speaker blared to life, a voice told them all that "Corporal DeWitt proved his worth on the field that day." Kain tried telling them not to answer but Booker beat him to it, calling out to Slate.
Kain sighed and shook his head before looking at Amy, the woman only rolled her eyes as Booker and Slate had a talk, mocking him when he said there is going to be trouble.
Both Kain and Amy heard 'Tin Soldier' and started to laugh before saying one name together in unison; "Delta." The others didn't understand what was so funny but soldiers started to pour into the room they were in, not 'peace keepers' like before but real soldiers.
As the last man fell dead Slate's voice came back over the loud speaker, saying Booker was a killer, whether he liked it or not.
"You can't deny it Booker, he has a point, we are all killers here, aside from little Elizabeth, but at least we are doing it for a good reason." Stated Amy.
"What reason is there to kill?" asked Elizabeth, Kain decided that he would answer her question.
"Lots of reasons my dear, if you want bad ones than power, money, greed, bloodlust, if you want good reasons than saving someone, protecting important people, keeping others out of harm's way, we kill to protect not only ourselves but those that matter most to us, and we need to get you as far away from this place as we possibly can."
Elizabeth wasn't sure she believed them but Booker gave her no real time, he tried asking Slate for the Shock Jockey but the man told him clearly that if he wanted the vigor than he would need to give his men a soldiers death.
