Somewhere… beyond the sea

Somewhere… waiting for me

My lover stands on golden saaaaaaands…

The song somewhere beyond the sea plays over the radio inside of an alpha series big daddy's helmet as he explores the outside ocean, looking for any bathyspheres he can salvage parts from. Why would a big daddy be interested in such parts? Simple. To escape Rapture and make it to the surface.

Subject Omega, as he is designated by the omega symbol on his hands, like Subject Delta and Sigma, can bond with a little sister. However, he was long forgotten due to the fall of rapture killing the scientists before he could be bonded to one. Atlas' soldiers came in and took the girl after severely wounding Omega. His mind slowly deteriorated over time until he was merely a shell going in and out of consciousness.

This all changed one day when a big daddy was escorting a little sister through the facility he was in. The bouncer was ambushed by splicers as Omega was leaning against a nearby wall, in his mind slowly fading in and out of consciousness. The bouncer fought valiantly to defend his little girl, impaling and bashing the splicers left and right with his drill. Alas, the splicers eventually killed him after he bashed the second to last one, flinging the corpse to the wall near Omega as his gun slid across the floor next to his hand. The body landing close enough to him startled him, allowing him to focus enough to see the last splicer about to kill the little sister with a rusty pipe. With every ounce of his will he could muster, he picked up the gun, aimed, and shot the last splicer in the head before he dropped the gun. The little sister ran to him and hugged him, saying thank you for saving her life. Without a response, the little sister noticed the state he was in. Needing a protector, she decided to bond herself to him, saving his life in the process. She took the large needle she carries around and stick it into her arm, collecting some of her blood. She then sticks It into his arm and injects her blood into him. The yellow light that was flickering in his helmet went dark after she did this. Thinking he was dead, the little girl began to cry and hugged the body, thinking she lost not one but two daddies in the same day. Unbeknownst to her, the light then slowly turned back on as Omegas mind was repaired by the adam in the little sister's blood stream. He felt some weight on his chest and saw the girl crying while hugging him. Feeling the sorrow coming from her, he slowly hugged her with one arm to try and comfort her. The girl stopped sobbing for a second when she felt his arm wrap around her. She looked up and sees he's alive as he softly groans to say it's all rightto her (The link helps turn those groans into words for her). She smiled as tears still ran from her eyes, hugging Omega tighter now knowing he's alive.

Once the tender moment was over, the girl led her new protector to her home, a bathysphere workshop. On one side of the room was mainly a docking station, where the bathysphere would go into a giant air lock, so it can be taken in for repairs. A platform would roll on a rail way to the center of the shop where it would be lifted by chains where the repair men could fix it, with one currently suspended in the middle of the room. On the opposite side of the room was the control panel for the crane that would lift the bathyspheres and a supply closet for parts next to it. The other walls simply had tools hanging on them and work benches right under them and a vent the little sister can use to escape incase her home was invaded by splicers. Above them was a glass roof, allowing them to view all kinds of sea life as they swim over it. The girl yawned and went to the room with the crane controls, Omega staying close behind her. In the room was a dirty mattress and a tattered blanket with an oil lamp next to it on the ground next to an open box of crayons. On the wall was a poorly drawn mural that had the sun, a blue sky with clouds, and green trees on a grassy field. Omega groaned again and pointed at the drawing to ask what it's for.

"It's the surface Mr. Bubbles. I've always wanted to visit it. It's full of trees like the ones in arcadia, and I hear that the sky is absolutely gorgeous." She said filled with glee. "But everyone told me it was dangerous though, that it was full of parasites and other bad people. But you would protect me right daddy?" She asked as Omega groaned to say yes.

She smiled before yawning again, still tired over the days 'excitement' as she laid down on her 'bed'.

"Goodnight daddy." She said before falling asleep.

Omega walked out of the room and looked through the glass roof. "If it's the surface she wants. It's the surface she'll get." He thought to himself.

I know what your thinking, "There's no way a big daddy could think of anything besides protecting the little sister." Omega is not an ordinary big daddy. What the scientists failed to notice was that Omega actually retained a shred of his humanity as well as some of his memories of his old life. It's not a lot but what he does know is that he used to have a wife and a baby daughter before he lost them in a fire, with his wife completely charred and his baby girl missing. He went into a slum and began to drink heavily. He ended up getting into the business of some smugglers and was arrested by police, causing him to end up in the protector program. Luckily, he also remembers about how he was a bathysphere mechanic, and mostly remembers how to fix one.

And that's what he's been doing for two months straight, besides going out and gathering adam with the little sister he named Susy. When he told her that he could get her there she was literally jumping for joy, knowing that her dream was going to become a reality. This would prove to be dangerous though, as the supply closet was looted, meaning that they would have to go out into the city to find the parts they need to fix the one in the shop. As they went on this scavenger hunt, Omega found a large array of weapons for him to use from the big daddy drill to the rocket launcher. He also used the adam Susy collected to buy plasmids and tonics to improve their odds against the splicers. Now he's a fully decked out big daddy, ready to take out anything that stands in his way of getting Susy to the surface.

What no one ever noticed was Dr. Suchong's tear generator was beginning to malfunction. The device that allowed travel from one world to another was slowly breaking down after years without any kind of maintenance. The machine sparked before exploding, sending a shockwave that everyone in the city felt. What no one noticed was that the shockwave also reverberated the space time continuum, causing the universe to begin to merge with another universe, but it wasn't Columbia.

Back with Omega after a loss with finding the last part he needs for the bathysphere, he walks into an air lock and cycles it, so he can enter back into the city. But when it finally drained, the other door opened, and water started to flood the air lock again. This caught Omega off guard, he was sure this was the same airlock he used to get into the sea, and that there was no way the building flooded while he was gone. The force of the rushing water pushed him back a few feet before the airlock was once again filled with water. He cautiously steps out and looks around seeing that he's somehow in 10 ft shallow water.

"This can't be right." He thought. "There's no way I'm this close to the surface."

He thought he was hallucinating as he looked up and saw the water's surface as the sun shown through it. He looks back and sees a tear that leads into the flooded airlock, but he didn't know what it was. He looked to his left and saw the sea floor raise slowly to a nearby beach. He decides to investigate where exactly he is and walks over to the beach.

The tear brought him to a beach on the edge of Inkopolis. There were inklings there, but only to walk on the beach or get a sun tan. No one would go anywhere near the sea because any kind of water, especially salt water, would act like an acid on them, dissolving them in seconds. So, imagine the look on everyone's face when Omega broke the water surface and walked to the shore. Most inklings could only reach about 5 or so feet and Omega was a bit over 7. To them it looked like a giant metal monster was coming from the deep to kill them all.

Omega was happy as he saw the skyscrapers of Inkopolis, thinking he was nearing a human city. But this quickly turned to confusion as he saw and heard the inklings screaming and running into the city. He wasn't close enough to see that they weren't human, and the brightness of the sun was getting in his eyes. To him it looked like a bunch of colorful blurs were running away.

He got onto the shore after his eyes finally adjusting to the light. All the inklings in the immediate vicinity already scattered to get as far away from his as possible. He looked around again and saw a vent that the little sisters used to safely get around the city in the side of a building. He didn't think as to why it was there because he was currently running to it, thinking Susy might come out of it. He banged on it in a certain pattern that acted as a code to let her know it was him who was knocking. A moment passed as a pair of yellow eyes poked out, squinting from the suns brightness.

"Daddy? Is that you?" She asked, unable to clearly see.

He groaned again to say it was.

Her eyes finally adjusted and sees it is him, "Where are we?"

Another groan came from Omega.

"The surface!?" She peeked her head out and saw she was finally on the surface. She was so happy she jumped out of the vent and hugged Omega on the helmet, making him stumble a little.

The happy moment was ruined as the sound of police sirens were heard, heading towards them. Five police cars screeched to a halt on the T-intersection around them, one on each side and three in front of them from the city. Two police officers came out of each car, all wielding Splatter shot pros that were colored blue, pointed at them.

"Ytas hewre oyu rea!" One of them yelled in oceanic, the common language of the inklings and octarians.

They didn't understand a word he said, but they know a threat when they see it. This caused Susy to climb onto Omegas back for protection saying, "Don't let them get me." In a scared tone.

While he may have some of his humanity, the big daddy urge to protect his little sister was too great to ignore. With this he took out his drill and placed it on his right hand, as his left hand sparked with electricity. This visibly got the cops worried seeing how large the drill was and the lightning coming out of him as they looked frightened. The yellow light of his helmet turned red before stomping the ground hard, creating a miniature earthquake. He roared a battle cry as the slaughter began.
