Into the Pits

Bioshock:Everfree Rapture
Into the Pits

Blood seemed to dance and swirl with a life of it's own, the water was freezing me to the core. I saw the dead limp body of the off blue colored pegasus floating in the pool of water near me.

I looked all around but the room had no apparent way out, all of the sudden a loud crackling static followed by a strange accented voice of a stallion.

"Kid, Yall took a nasty fall,still breathin down there?"
The stallion said Over an intercom that looked so aged I was suprised it still worked.
"well iffin yall can hear me yall best be gettin outta there real quick"
"sharks love them pits when they fill with splicers"

Sharks? I thought to myself as I saw the body of the pegasus disappear in a violent thrashing that nearly scared the Horse apples out of me. Frantic I looked for the weapon that had so recently turned the pegasus into a meal ticket for whatever monster lurked under the now crimson pool of death.

Seeing a glint I quickly picked up an object at nearly the same time I felt a tug on my tail, followed by a sharp pain that shot up my left leg and dragged me under water. This wasnt the same weapon as before, a giant barbed steel spike protruding frighteningly from the front. I turned the it toward the sharks eye and let the it fly, launched by the force of my levitation, the hooked spike struck the monster in the eye causing it to release its grip on me.

Realizing I would not get that lucky again I did the only thing I could think, swam straight down. Straight into the den of monsters through the crimson clouds formed from all of the gore that had recently spilled into the abyssal pit.

I could hardly see, remembering my powers are controlled by emotion I focused, my horn began to glow...
Now I could see every detail of the submerged room.. even the sharks, at least 4, one with the barb still stuck in an eye that spurted blood out profusely. Two fought over the ever shrinking carcass that had once been a pegasus.

I could see doors, the 'pits' that I were in were just rooms almost all the way filled with water, many more beautiful creatures lined the rooms exposed to the elements for so long it had become part of the sea floor.
I swam into one of the other rooms as fast as I could. Two of the sharks being busy and the last distracted by the vast amount of blood spilling from the eye of the monster that had tried to eat me. None followed.

As soon as I had surfaced in the next room the familliar voice came on the radio again ordering me around for the second time.

" iight now supposin yall wanna survive if yall run into more of them splicers" the familliar stallion said
" then yall best be gettin a gun"

So many thoughts ran through my head.

" What is a splicer? What is a gun? Who is this stallion and why is he helping me? "I started to voice my opinions but soon realized that the strange voice could not hear me back.

Seeming to Ignore my questions the voice sounded in the next room,

"There is an old civil war armory on the same floor as you, why dont yall go check it out and see if there are any goodies like S'plosives er Guns"

Searching for what seemed like forever in the waterlogged hallways beyond the pits was starting to get old. My leg was throbbing and still bleeding. Eventually I spotted a small opening covered by rubble that I had overlooked before.
Staring at the rubble I remembered levitating the weapons that had saved me, but that was in combat in the heat of the moment. This stuff looked much heavier than what I had levitated before. Focusing on the biggest chunk I directed all my magic to push it forward, it wasn't moving. Straining as hard as I could magically was not working, I reared on my hind legs and brought my front hooves down to provide even more force, the pile shifted, trapped under the rubble forever lost was a key I picked it up and examined the space I had created, even if only slightly bigger it was now enough to squeeze through.
