inFAMOUS: The Next Generation
Chapter 00: Prologue
A man is standing in the middle of a city street. The city looks similar to New Orleans only there are signs of fight seen everywhere. The man, caucasian, possibly in his mid 20's, was looking around wondering where all this damage came from and where is the person that caused it. He got his answer as an explosion is heard nearby. the man sprints down the street, passing various signs that all have two words in common; New Marais, the name of the city now under attack. the man climbs a building using parkour, reaching the source of the explosion. when he reaches the top he finds three people, two women, one caucasian and one African-American, both looking like they have been beaten close to death, and a man seen only as a silhouette. The three start fighting, they use elements that appear to be fire and ice. They are conduits, humans who have the ability to obtain powers. the silhouette man, who also appears to be a conduit, deflects and absorbs their attacks as I they make him stronger. He starts to laugh and says
"Ha ha, good try girls. I THINK I actually had to try to stop that one."
The caucasian woman starts to fly around looking as though she has turned into vapor shooting ice at the silhouette man and the African-American woman follows suit by teleporting around occasionally throwing fire at him. the silhouette man gestures his hands toward the two, causing them to freeze, motionless, where they are.
"How?" The caucasian says
"What the hell?" The African-American says
The silhouette, sarcastically, scolds them.
"Now girls, powers like that are just a little unfair to me since I can't use them" He says while laughing.
The African-American yells "It's gonna be unfair when I put my foot up your ass!"
"Go to hell, you rat bastard" The caucasian says
The silhouette acts as though he's offended and adds to it by tightening his grip causing screams of pain from both girls.
"AHHHH!" They scream in unison.
The silhouette says "Girls. Girls, girls, girls. Now that kind of language isn't very lady-like now is it?"
Both girls in unison "Go f**k yourself."
The silhouette says "Now, now. Cursing is something bad girls do, and bad girls need to be punished."
As he says the word punished he tightens his grip even further causing the sound of bones snapping and more screams of pain. He then throws the girls down, unknowingly at the earlier man's feet. the silhouette looks up to see the man enraged. His arms pulsing with electricity, showing that he is also a conduit. the silhouette crosses his arms and smiles.
The electric man calls out to the girls "Nix! Kuo!"
"MacGrath! Thank god you showed up. this guy is an incredibly powerful conduit" The caucasian woman, Kuo, says. she then withers in pain.
"Hey, Cole baby. This guy here ruins a perfectly good day and says he's looking for you. Me and Kuo handled him though" The African-American woman, Nix, says starting to stand up. she immediately collapses in Cole's arms.
She asks "Did I do good baby?"
Cole says with a sympathetic smile on his face " Yeah Nix, you did good?" He then turns to Kuo and asks "You strong enough to fly?"
Kuo responds " Can barley stand, let alone fly."
Cole then asks Nix "How 'bout you? You strong enough to Teleport?"
Nix responds "Yeah, I still got a little left in me"
Cole says "Good. Grab Kuo and get out of here. I'll take care of this guy"
"Okay" Nix says to Cole before going over to Kuo and teleporting both of them out of there.
Cole then turns toward the silhouette man who is still smiling.
Cole says to him " Tell me who the hell you are before I wipe that smile off your face and kick your ass"
The silhouette man starts to talk "You know, surprisingly, your a hard man to find, Cole MacGrath. or should I call you by one of your titles. The Hero of Empire City, or of the crater that was once Empire City. Or do you like being called The Patron Saint of New Marais."
"Shut the hell up" Cole yells at the man and then fires two bolts electricity at him from his hands.
The silhouette man deflects one and catches the other with ease. Cole then pulls out something from his back that resembles a tuning fork with Tesla coils on either end.
Cole says "Lets see how u handle against the Amp."
Cole then charges at the man and starts swinging the weapon at him. The silhouette man easily disarms Cole, knocks him to the ground, and pins him by stabbing the Amp into the ground around his neck. As he's about to deliver the finishing blow Nix teleports out of nowhere and attacks him
Nix yells "Get away from him!"
The silhouette man grabs Nix by the neck and holds her in the air.
He says to her " You know, I really like your powers. Think I'll get them"
He then takes his index and middle fingers and puts them on her forehead. Her eyes role back into her head and she looks as though she is getting the life sucked out of her.
"Let her go!" Cole yells at him
"I'm almost done...There." he says
He then raises the hand he put on her forehead and it immediately ignites. he then teleports
to the edge of the buildings. he now has Nix's powers plus the ones he already had.
"Nice. this is a great addition. And to thank you, I'll put you out of your misery." he says as he dangles Nix over the edge of the building
He is about to drop her off the building when bullets are fired at him. He turns to where they are coming from. An overweight caucasian man holding a gun is standing by the roof access door.
"Zeke Dunbar to the rescue. I got you Cole" Zeke says
"Zeke run!" Cole yelled.
But it was to late the silhouette man gestured his hand toward Zeke lifting him off the ground, and then, unlike what he did with Kuo and Nix, instead of crushing him, he slowly tore him apart until he was dust. Zeke's screams of pain and terror faded and everything was quiet. the silhouette man picks something up off the ground, walks over to Cole and kneels down till he's inches from his face
He says " I was going to kill you, but you living with the memory of me killing him is far worse then death" He turns and before he teleports away he says " By the way, my name is Nexus."
He then puts on Cole the only part of Zeke that was left, His sunglasses that he wore everywhere. He then teleported away and everything went black
An older looking Cole with a beard lurches forward in his bed and screams"ZEKE, NO!"
He looks around and realizes it was just a nightmare. No, not a nightmare, a terrible memory that will forever haunt Cole. It was a memory of a day 30 years ago. the day he helplessly watched his best friend die. Older versions of Nix and Kuo appear in Cole's room.
Kuo asks "Cole are you okay?"
"Yeah, just a nightmare. That's all." Cole says
"Was it the same nightmare?" Nix asks
"...Yeah" Cole says.
It was silent for a moment as they all look at Cole's nightstand remembering the day they lost the bravest one of them who didn't even have powers. laying on the nightstand was two things; a picture of the four of them at a bar for Zeke's 28 birthday and Zeke's sunglasses. Cole broke the silence and wiped the sleep and tears from his eyes
He asked " The kids awake?"
Kuo responded by saying "Look at the time."
Cole looks at his clock and to his surprise it read 12:36.
He says as he quickly changes "Are you serious? Why did you guys let me sleep this long?
Kuo says "Cause last time we tried to wake you up you throw an Ionic Vortex at us and we ended up in Texas.
Nix adds "Your just lucky we both have mobility powers or else you would of had to come get us."
Cole comes out in a yellow and black leather jacket like the one he wore in Empire City only he left it open with a black and white shirt underneath. He also had on his signature pants with a white union jack symbol on the right leg. To finish it he had on his single strap bag with his phone in the front and the Amp on the back.
Cole says "No your lucky you have mobility powers cause then you would of had to walk back. Now lets go to work."
