Yo everybody this is Cryoshock123 formally known as ramo15. Sorry that I haven't been updating my other stories, its just that I can't seem to think of any new ideas to keep the stories fresh. This fic is the only idea that I've had in my head for awhile now. I kind of have ADD so its really difficult for me to stay focused on one thing for long periods of time. I just keep think up new ideas and when I think something up I just have to publish it. I still plan on finishing all of my fic's, as soon as I think up some new ideas for them. For me at least, there is no such thing as the perfect story. We just keep learning from our past mistakes and make our stories, artwork, or even our whole general work ethic better. So without further ado: The Creeping In Eleanor's Soul. ~Cryoshock123~

"Father we did it!" Eleanor yelled as she ran towards her father and put his hulking form in a crushing bear hug. Delta stumbled a bit but was able to support the lithe armor clad form of his daughter, his left arm was draped firmly but gently around her waist. Eleanor buried her helmeted head into Delta's shoulder, the scratching and grinding of metal against metal isn't to comforting but Eleanor paid no mind to the horrible racket. She was finally with her father and that was all that mattered. The little Sister's exited the bathysphere one by one.

"Big Sister, Daddy!" They all yelled out at once. The little ones rushed to their metal encased hero's and wrapped their small fragile arms around each of their legs. Eleanor laughed and rubbed their dirtied, shaggy hair with the affection only a Big Sister could show. Eleanor knew deep within her heart that she would do anything to keep her sisters safe. Anything.

'Well, "the older shall serve the younger", I suppose.'

Delta suddenly dropped Eleanor and grabbed his chest in pain. He let out a pain filled howl and dropped to one knee.

"Father!" Eleanor kneeled by Delta's side. His body was slowly shutting down…and there was nothing she could do to help him. How cruel fate is, is it not? To be reunited with the one you love only to have them die slowly but surely right in front of your eyes.

"Father please don't go! There are so many things I want to tell you, want to show you!" Although her face was obscured by the emotionless visor of her Big Sister helmet one could tell just by the sound of her voice that she was without a doubt crying her eyes out.

"Father think of it, we can live on the surface together! Just you, me, and the little ones! We can all be one big family!" Eleanor was in near hysterics. She just couldn't understand why she couldn't be with her father. Hasn't she suffered enough already? A gunshot rang through the air and everyone's heads quickly swiveled to the entrance of the bathysphere. Stepping out of the bathysphere with a cold and collected look on her face was Sofia Lamb.

"You all? A family? Don't make me laugh." Eleanor glared at her mother from behind her helmet.

"Mother, shut the hell up. You have no claim on me, I'm not your property. I am my own person!" Sofia just stared at her daughter with a look that said otherwise.

"Really? Oh so if I said… would you kindly kill Subject Delta, you wouldn't do it?" Sofia asked with an amused smirk.

"Of course I wouldn't you-" Eleanor's gauntlet encased right hand shot forward and struck Delta across the helmet. The blow left a nasty dent in Delta's helmet and he stumbled backwards. He looked up to Eleanor in surprise, even with his eyes being forever shrouded in yellow glow one could feel the pain and betrayal coming off of him. Eleanor's eyes widened and she looked to her father, pained expression spreading across her face.

"No, father I didn't mean to….you."

Eleanor turned to her mother, her teeth clenched and her gloved hands balled into fists.

"What did you do to me you bitch." Eleanor growled out in all but a whisper. Sofia heard her non the less.

"Did you really think that I would be defeated that soundly?" Sofia sighed.

"It's to late for you however. Your mind has already been poisoned by the lumbering behemoth, perhaps one of these children will provide a suitable enough replacement for you." Eleanor screamed and tried to charge towards her mother in an attempt to finally put her down…but instead of charging towards her mother she charged towards Delta.

"NO!" Eleanor tried to stop but in the end all she could do was prevent herself from making killing blows. Delta knew very well that Sofia was controlling his daughter but he was just to weakened from the broken bond he and Eleanor shared to lift even a finger.

So…is this how it really ends? Killed by the one that he struggled so hard to save? Destroyed by the one whom he would kill, burn and die for? Delta looked towards Sofia, he glared at her with unbridled furry. He could make sure his daughter survived…but he wouldn't let Sofia have her, he wouldn't let Sofia win. Eleanor knocked Delta to the ground and sat on his chest with her huge ADAM needle raised. Eleanor stared into the porthole of her father, a saddened, tortured look was hidden behind her Big Sister helmet.

"Father…I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Delta suddenly grabbed Eleanor's needle mounted arm and pushed himself off of the ground. He held Eleanor in the air by her left arm. Sofia's eyes widened then she started to chuckle.

"I knew it. You see Eleanor Delta never loved you, the only reason why he even attempted to save you was to save himself… Just like any other monster would." Eleanor ignored her mother and stared deep into the porthole of her father's helmet. The face behind the helmet held a cold, emotionless expression. Eleanor then smiled compassionately behind her visor.

"Daddy…I would rather you kill me than the other way around. I don't think my heart could take it."

"Eleanor, would you kindly kill Subject Delta?" Sofia repeated again, more slowly this time. Eleanor's right hand twitched and fire slowly started to engulf her arm.

"Daddy, please…kill me." The sheer pain and hurt Delta heard in her voice… No. He wouldn't let that blond haired demon win. Delta took one last glance at Sofia and smirked behind his helmet. Frost quickly covered Delta's left arm and he grabbed Eleanor's right hand, putting the fire out. He then scooped up Eleanor in his arms, bridal style. Eleanor looked at him in surprise.

"D-Daddy what are you doing?" Delta just smirked behind his helmet and ran towards the edge of the bathysphere. Sofia's eyes widened as Delta jumped off of the edge and into the sea. His heavy armor encased form was quickly fading from view as was the lithe form of her daughter. Sofia walked over to the edge and stared into the ocean for a couple of seconds before spitting in it.

"Creatures such as yourselves should stay where they belong…in the House Of Monsters." Sofia then turned towards the dozen former Little Sisters, crying their eyes out.

"Do not worry little ones, mother is here." Sofia said kindly. The little ones immediately trusted her like they were programmed to.

"The surface world will soon belong to us."
