Chap 90: blue sea & red jacket 2

  (Takune's pov)

  Holding a bottle of this 'ADAM' in hand, Takune sat across from a timid man. Dr.Tenenbaum introduce himself as he stepped just in time. Takune had taken down a 'big mama' as they were called.

  Standing over the burning remains of the thing, his fight with it wasn't long. Most of it is Takune smming his fist down in a careful manner to not crash the entire section of the city down with him. Power isn't the problem, but he needs to be mindful when using it in a pce so fragile while deep under the sea. He also brought the 'little brother' with him to Tenenbaum's hideout.

  "Please, i'm sure there's something we can work out." His english is spoken in a German accent. He tended to the boy, who sat obediently, looking less pale than before.

  The conversation between the two was short, mostly just Takune asking for the necessary information.

  "Yeah, you tell me where to get more of the ADAM and i'll be out of your hair." His english was passable, carrying bits of his own asian accent. But his firm tone was something the man in b coat didn't expect.

  Dr.Tenenbaum paused to think, "the trip to any of my b is blocked, but if you can make it to any of them. There will be ADAM for you to take, but the path is blocked by one of the big mama. You'll need to take them down too."

  "Alright, sounds simple enough. And in return, you want me to save these boys." Takune stops to look at a certain spot in the air, waiting for some minutes with no response.

  "i'll argee to help, but know that i'm helping because it's convenient on my way to the ADAM." There is no need for him to be longer than he should. That job would belong to the protagonist, wherever she is in this pce.

  "Thank you, here. Take this." Tenenbaum handed a map to Takune. "Oh, and i met another fellow. A woman goes by the name Jacklyn I believe. She is someone who arrived just recently like you, there is a chance you two could come across each other, so I advise you to avoid her if you can. She seems not very keen on talking."

  "You need not worry about me." Takune exits the pce. With a map in hand, he makes his way to the b.

  he ran all the way there, killing anything that stand in his way.

  *Roar*

  One of the mad splicers jumps out of a corner, metal hook in hand. He flew right at Takune's spin kick, removing the head instantly.

  "Hmm.....The situation isn't too difficult" he thought as he ran.

  Comparing the modification of this world to his own is like comparing a steam engine to a nuclear one.

  Wherever he go, no matter what was thrown at him. Takune easily dispatched them in one fell swoop, bashing in turrets, knocking the walking chunk of metal that is Big Mama. There were some other voices that tried to talk to him through the camera and radio, Andrea Reni and Fio Fontina. Both were equally interested in him as they were afraid of him.

  'Can't bme those womans.' It is terrifying to see something smashed through this pce with his kind of power.

  They tried various ways to talk with him, but Takune just broke the camera and radio before they could have a chance to chat. It'll been silence since.

  Through, he did meet some interesting foe. A somewhat abnormal splicer he came by. The door to the b was only a few rooms away. Blocked by this diffirent looking one, standing crooked with a glowing left arm to her.

  She was about to raise it halfway when Takune tackled her. There was a fsh of fme around the glowing arm before Takune twisted it in an ugly angle, he finished it with a punch to the face killing her.

  "So this is what happens when you take it." There was a burnt mark from the fme that he grabbed.

  He had heard the doctor expined it to him, by injecting this ADAM to a person bloodstream it will give a human extraordinary powers. From bsting fire to telekinetic control over the objects, most residents got it.

  'Too bad all this stuff is addictive.' Which is why everyone in this city is going mad killing each other. They're a bunch of addicts killing for a dose of ADAM, worst yet. Each time they needed a higher dose, or else they went mad.

  Takune breathes out a disappointed sigh, he would like to have some extra power, but the addiction is an absolute no for him. The environment that raised him has taught him not to stoop so low.

  Continuing, he defeated more of the big mama and rescued the little brothers. A few hours ter and he is at the door, open using the key given by the doctor he enters the room.

  Sure enough, there is some ADAM in here; he quickly grabs them.

  [World: Bioshock]

  [Quest: collect ADAM 9/10]

  "Great, just great. One more bottle and it'll be done." The stash in here is missing one more for him, so he'd have to look for another one.

  Opening the map, Takune search if there was a room that could give him the final bottle.

  "Ah, how'ya there." A thick Irish voice sounded from the radio in the room.

  Turning to it, Takune was about to bash it when the voice pleaded through the wooden box.

  " ah wait, come on now, d. I know what ye d been looking for. ADAM eye ?" He recognized it. The Fontana dy.

  Taking the silence as an answer, she continues.

  "I have a friend, she is stuck behind some locked doors on the higher floor. If you can let her in from your side, it would be very helpful, and I'll promise a nice sum for your troubles."

  "So ?" still no replied, until.

  *boom!*

  Takune smashed it anyway and ran to his new location. Of course not to where the voice was telling him to go.

  He was only listening to track where she was coming from, and by the old tech she was using. It wasn't even hard to trace it to a hidden section.

  "Hey, d-" her voice turned panicked when she realized the path he was taking. "Wait please! Hey!"

  "That's the wrong-!" voices after voices, speakers continuosly trying to tell him to turn around. but he won't listen.

  Takune picks his own option instead of listening to this woman for a lesser reward. He could just come to her pce for a guaranteed ADAM. Plus, he had already come to a realization of the person he'd met. That is the main character, and don't want to see her at all. Given his luck, what are the odds that he'll fight her because of the system mission.

  Takune doesn't want to know, and he doesn't want to take this chance either, so by taking from her, he can get out much faster.

  Directly one wall away from where she is, he leaps into a flying kick.

  "Rider kick." His feet glow in green light, impacting the wall and crashing right through in a explosion.

  *BOOM!*

  Red eyes shining past the dust, he scans the room. With only one woman, she collided with the wall and now y unconscious from his attack.

  The ADAM bottles were stashed away in a wall safe, which he easily broke through with his hand.

  [Quest complete]

  [Receive 1 randomize power]

  [Open ?]

  [Y] [N]

  Picking yes in his mind, he watched the slot begin to spin.

  [Received: Telekinesis(D)]

  'Damn, and here i thought i would get nothing.'

  *groan*

  "You think you can go and rob the Fontana without any repercussion ?" The woman got up with visible anger shown on her face.

  "Hmm?" Turning back, Takune face hidden behind his rider helmet did not convey his confusion.

  For a second, he was too focused on his current prize to remember about her. Turning around, he sees a Tommy gun ready in her hand.

  *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

  Unloading a clip into him, Takune stood still as a spark created by the bullets hit his armored body.

  "You're done ?" He spoke through the mask.

  He intentionally made his voice more mechanical, he didn't let her respond though.

  The gun in her hand began to shake and it suddenly flew out of her grip. The object floated in front of Takune, rotating mid-air like there was no gravity on it.

  He can see it.

  The emotion on her face, fear of death, anger from her regrets. But he won't be the one to do it; he's just an outsider after all.

  The gun dropped to the floor as he release his hold over it, turning around. He open the gate and leaves this world.
