A random Idea I had while imagining Sake as a Conduit. Then it occured to me, a crossover between Jak and Infamous would kick so much ass. If it hasn't been done, well it has now. Sake is my OC from my very old fanfictions "What If"(complete) and "May It Be"(incomplete). I know I have alot of stories going atm but i'm going to rewrite MEHALO:Evolution because I hate how its turning out.
Either way, Please RnR, and most of all, Enjoy! Chances are there's typos because I spellcheck manually in wordpad. If a word is spelled incorrectly its likely because I dont' know how to spell it and forgot to google it whilst spellchecking :p
Zeke stared on in horror as the realisation settled heavily on his shoulders. This was the last time he'd ever see Cole- Alive, that is. The RFI? It wasn't only going to cure the plague and kill the beast, but it was going to effectivaly eliminate any living conduit, activated or not. Maybe if someone was far underground, or too far away to feel its effects, they might survive but there wasn't a remote chance that Cole would be that lucky, considering he'd be at the dead center of Ground Zero.
"As soon as the RFI's ready, I'm gunna' flip the switch.. There's not going to be a time for goodbye's." Cole said matter-a-factly, a look of sadness yet calm determination in his eyes. He offered a hand to shake but Zeke closed the gap for a hug. Each patted the other's back as if to say the words neither wanted to say then parted and Zeke fought to calm his nerves. Damn if it didn't upset him to think that Cole would be dead in just a few short minutes. Nix watched quietly- it seemed she had accepted her fate as well.
"Alright fellas... I'll take this 'round.. Get it charged up." The swamp witch said quietly, stepping foward and gently gripping the RFI in both hands as she pulled it from its mount on the transformer. "Watch my back Demon."
"I always do." Cole took a deep breath and watched as Nix, once cause of chaos now savior to humanity leapt from the cathedral's belfry. She held the RFI tightly and only the sound of crackling embers heralded her leap into nothing. Then just as quickly Cole hurled himself up onto the stone railing and with a final glance back at Zeke as if to affirm their unspoken creed, he jumped and glided off into the evening to die.
"Twice as bright.." Zeke mouthed sadly, watching his brother vanish in the distance. Now it was a matter of waiting for the call. Minutes later loud explosions began echoing across the bay.
LaRoche was dead but that wasn't about to stop Cole. Nix was quick enough to flee as well and together the pair fled, Cole leaping from boat to boat while Nix flitted each step of the way to make sure Cole didn't meet a watery end. Once on dry land she made a dash for the transformer in Smut Triangle. It was their last hope and the Beast was clearing ground quicker than they had hoped. Water did little to impede the thing's movement and the salvos of rockets seemed like nothing more than mosquito bites to it.
Cole joined Nix minutes later next to the transformer and she had already attatched it to the prongs along its front face. He knew it wouldn't be long before the Beast rejoined them and his body felt that much more energized by the anticipation. Electricity crackled around his arms and chest as the transformer charged him. He heard Zeke cough over the radio and it made him bite his lip- He had to do this, for the millions that would die in the coming days if he didn't, including Zeke.
"How you wanna play it?" Nix asked, doing her best to focus on keeping a barrier around herself and the transformer.
"You're on defense- Protect the RFI." he glanced at the horizon, the creature's massive head just now peeking over the edges of the buildings. "I'm going toe to toe with John." it felt funny refering to this thing as such but deep down he still knew it was him. He just couldn't accept what John was doing.
"Y-You sure?" Nix faltered, swallowing hard.
"Oh hell yeah- I'm ready for round two. It's what I'm here for." Cole almost growled, anger and resentment consuming each syllable.
An explosion rocked the city as more and more rebels and militia fought desperatly. They were relentlessly firing rockets, the barrels of their launchers fatigued and stressed but they wouldn't give up- not today, not ever. Cole stared on as the Beast now towered over buildings and stepped into the open area of the triangle. More rocket fire greeted him and Cole began rapidly firing off electrically charged rockets.
John, the Beast, bellowed a defiant roar and snarled. Cole only snarled back, determined to end it there and now. Then as he began to feel himself weakening from the sudden expense of energy, the Beast raised both arms and flung them to his sides. A burst flung forth from him and quickly suspended everything not tied down in mid-air, including Cole. The feeling of weightlessness while simaltaniously feeling as if he was being crushed was overwhelming and for a moment his head spun.
The Beast joined both hands in a deafening clap, parting them them two car lengths as a black ball formed. Immediatly everything began drifting toward this hole, either exploding or disintigrating upon impact. Cole watched with horror as a woman who had been snatched up by the gravity well was pulled in and consumed from the feet up, all the while screaming in agony. Flesh, muscles, It was all ripped away from her skeleton which quickly dissolved into nothing. In a matter of seconds he'd meet the same end and with all his strength he pushed his hands forward and expelled energy from his palms, thrusters struggling to keep him away from the vortex.
As quickly as it had come, the spiral faded and Cole felt the bonecrushing preasure subside. Still suspended as if he were a marionette, electricity nipped at his skin and he readied himself for another barrage of rockets, firing them with such rapid succession that it didn't take long before he couldn't muster another round. With luck the last few rounds impacted the Beast square in the chest and John crumpled to his knees. The gravity well vanished and Cole was dropped to the ground, spinning in mid air to right himself before landing. As he did so, his phone sparked to life with the voice of Quo.
"Turn around Cole and WALK AWAY." The woman demanded angrily. The electric man thought about what she had done, and what she was planning to do if he didn't succeed. She was willing to sacrifice the lives of billions just so she could continue being superhuman.
He felt his skin become ice cold and his flesh crawled with almost living ice. He pivoted on his toes and fired off a salvo of rockets in the direction from which the pure white arctic beam originated and they impacted a tall pillar of ice, sending it, and Quo, tumbling. She wailed in pain as he relentlessly hammered her with bolts of electricity until she lay still, heaving from the pain. With her delt with, Cole redirected his attention to the recuperating Beast before him, who now stood and raised both arms once more.
The gravity well expanded again, picking up the previously charred corpses of car and man alike, hurling them around like ragdolls. Then as John joined both hands, another spiral formed and Cole struggled to keep himself at a safe distance. The thrusters only did so much. He prayedfor the ball of dark energy to subside-
But the vortex only grew and for a moment he wondered if John was preparing a Ray Field blast. Now its event horizon was far enough across to fit a bus length wise. Two stories below him, Cole watched as Nix grabbed onto the transformer for dear life and everywhere around them buildings were beggining to be ripped apart. Cars spiraled around them, colliding with people in mists of red. To his left, Quo's unconcious body was lifted and sucked in. He squinted and looked away, fearful of watching his once friend become dust.
"I'm being pulled in man, I-I can't hold on!" Nix screamed and desperatly she clung to the transformer. The force of the vortex was too great and in a matter of seconds its bolts were ripped loose from the concrete of the roof. She, the transformer, and the RFI were sucked toward the vortex and Cole cried out in horror. How had the Beast ever gained so much power, he couldn't fathom.
"Something.. Something isn't right..!" John's voice rung loudly in Cole's mind and the words bounced around against his skull. "I.. Can't.. I can't stop it..!"
The vortex grew and grew still, four stories in diameter.
The Beast began to crumble and flake, sections of its rock-like skin being ripped free to reveal the matter beneath.
Cole's arms burned in agony and the thrusters were becoming less and less effective by the second. Things were going dark and all at once his energy left him as the vortex grew closer.
The last things he saw and heard were the Beast's crippled body being torn apart and their own screams in unison.
Then, a wash of white and nothing.
