Let ideas and all speech be free. I will respect your ideas, your characters, your ponies. Feel free to ask me anything!

The city of Rapture is dying. ADAM is scarce, the population of the underwater metropolis is further descending into decay in the absence of the destructive gene-altering substance. What's left of the sane inhabitants of the city turn their minds toward one goal: escape. But in a city where anything is possible, fear drives people in power to seek dangerous alternatives, ones which may have consequences for more than just the citizens of Rapture...

Star wars
Halo
And now Bioshock?
Dude, your writings are right down my Alley!
Talak approves :moustache:

1855421 Thank you both and HK too. I'm trying my best with these crossovers to give them a reason WHY. Not just to smash two worlds together and say just go with it. Ponies and Halo? Sounds good right? Ponies are awesome, Halo is awesome, what's not to love? Okay why? WHY? Just having Twilight Sparkle put on the MJOLNIR is not enough and is honestly a tad on the far fetched side so just give me a reason why, be legit in the realm of the universe you are creating. That's what I'm trying to do. To that end, I will crossover ponies and anything(feel free to make requests and etc) AND I will strive to add to EACH story the same level of depth, appreciation and dedication that the elements from each thing I'm crossing over deserves.

this.... i like!!!!:pinkiehappy:

You can't go wrong with that kind of thinking.
And you do it very well, it's one of the reasons I enjoy your tales
I write in a similar manner. Especially with an upcoming a story of mine that combines dozens of different series.
Though my reasoning is a bit more.... Interesting :pinkiehappy:

1855562 Sounds interesting indeed. I encourage you not to give up on any of your stories and to follow them through to the end, especially your Power Rangers crossover. We need to keep challenging people's perspective of what is acceptable and what can be awesome in a story. I believe that any story can be truly fantastic if enough effort is put into it. That is our duty as bronies: to be extraordinary.

This fic is going quite well, I have been looking around for Bioshock crossovers but there aren't that many of them. I think that this story has great potential and I am happy I have found it.

1904409 I'm happy I was able to provide it for you. I'm planning on writing one to tie in with Infinite as well, the sea ponies were an element I wanted to write about for a long time. I feel they are most appropriate in such a crossover.

While you guys are gone, I'm going to be on vacation!", Spike pulled out a pair of shades and put them on.

:moustache: Buck yah!

I see Trollestia. Sends defenceless and basically normal ponies to go on the ocean floor. Yay. Doesn't send any guards or ponies meant for and prepared for this.:scootangel: :ajsmug:

Read a Bioshcok story, wasn't disappointed.

Today was a good day.

No really, this is a great idea. Very fresh and original, I like the idea of sea ponies and having their own civilization along with Canterlantis. Very good job writing this, though I wish the chapters were longer...

2397945 I'm happy you like it, I will try to make the next chapters longer. The first two Bioshock games were about a city underwater and there's a few crossovers with MLP but none of them really dealt with the the fact of the city itself: it is underwater, PERFECT for a seapony adventure! As for continuing the plot with Rapture, in the previous games, the heroes didn't save the city. They saved people in the city and then left. Great job heroes. The game's setting is one of its MAJOR points! How could they just ignore it? Leave the city like that? What happens to all those people, the ones Jack and Subject Delta saved(if they were good)?

The heroes were only focused on leaving the city once they got there. "Hello! Welcome to Rapture! Beautiful city under the sea, the exit is a long quest that way. You'll want to hurry." It's such an amazing setting, and one of the biggest points of the game itself. It's time that at least an effort to actually save Rapture be made. Here come the seaponies. Sea-flank/tail kicking awesomeness, badass attitude and the mane 6 all in an underwater adventure.

The villain is a tad downplayed in the beginning but you'll find out more about him later. Evil Lawyer struck me as a natural choice. Evil Business tycoon, evil doctor, evil lawyer. Another choice I considered was evil gambler, went with lawyer because it's easier establishing a giant position of power for him.

Wow I thought this fic was dead in the water but you sir have proved me wrong and I salute you for that

2398103

You sir, make a very good point.

"-Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor; where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality; where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well..."

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. You just don't talk about the characters, you talk about the setting. You make the place you've put them in come alive with feeling, no longer a backdrop but an actual thing in the story. It is not invisible to others, nor do they ignore this massive, shining city that now serves as a prison for corrupted minds and souls who only crave their next fix of ADAM. Once you reveal a treasure chest that has been lost, the world will want to know what lays inside...

As for the evil lawyer, its fits him well. To many times has the villian been a ex-hero, conman, criminal, or flat-out murderer. But a lawyer? Very clever, as he fits his position well.

To quote a very well-known zombie-slayer...

Francis- "Evil lawyers? I hate lawyers. Oh my god I hate lawyers so much. If there's one thing I hate more then Big Daddies its lawyers. Objection? I hear a splicer! And it sounded like its practicing law. Atlas! He looks like a lawyer. I mean when is he ever to going to stop practicing law?"

Me- Yeah, Lawyers are dicks.

2399012lol none of my fics are dead in the water or I would put cancelled or on hiatus on them. They're either complete or incomplete but once I start an idea, I finish it. I just might do an entire series on Rapture in Equestria. It's not that hard getting the characters down there especially now that the seaponies have been established. You know you want to see Discord, Flim and Flam and Trixie down there don't you? Especially Flim and Flam. C'mon. You know they'd be perfect for Rapture. Maybe Seapony Flim and Flam. Fin and Foam. Flipper and Fisher. Flow and Flush. And if there are some ponies like Twist and Lightning Dust that don't quite fit in Rapture, I can make seapony versions of them. We're bronies. The possibilites are endless so let's explore. Hmm. Now how to get Big Mac down there... always have trouble with the strong-silent types. Big Mac... Big Daddy... Big Mac Daddy? Mwahahaha...

Tell me someone drew a picture of a stepdaddy

2571203 Not that I'm aware of. Don't know how to add cover art or that kind of thing anyway. I like the way he turned out in the story.

2571203 Not that I'm aware of.
Picture in your mind something of a hybrid between a Rosie and a Lancer with a different, a leathery jet black with red stripes and a single stop sign shaped light on its head. The light shines like a beacon in the dark, submarine tunnel. Its haunting glow almost beckons you forward... until it notices you. Immediately, the light turns from a glowing yellow to a pusling blood-red as its gaze shines upon you. A noise, some gutteral-mechanical growl rips from its innards and it starts advancing on you. It has drills on both its limbs, smaller than the average bouncer's drills, one retracts to reveal an enourmous black-gloved hand. It advances towards you.

These creatures are a new daddy, not bonded to the sisters as before. Their movements are less lumbering, more deliberate and intimidating. More coordinated, it's not some animal you can trick easily. I designed it as a daddy that can weild plasmids like Big Sisters but it has no siphoning device for ADAM. So it must be regularly supplied. Perhaps a weakness?

Noice work mate, very creative beginin' ya got here. :moustache:

Can't wait to see what happens next, and how the Mane 6 react to seeing a Little sister and a Big dady for the first time. :pinkiehappy:

Alright I can safely say that this sure is creative, especially with the names! Reading this with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon music playing in the background made this a lot cheesier than it needed to be. :rainbowlaugh:

*sigh* what is it with stories that I like dying when they start getting really interesting?
