Chapter 1: Good Thoughts
The Beast, the entire point I was even given these powers, causing chaos and fear across the entire world, even Kuo is afraid and all I know is that I have to be the one to destroy this monster to think that I really had a choice to side with him then, what would be the point in losing everything I had before the blast. I felt uneasy but ready to take on this monster I couldn't help but think of what was going to happen, I imagined all kinds of possibilities of how this would from best to the worst scenario. I heard Nix and Zeke talk but I just couldn't help but think about how bad this could end up, Zeke told Nix and I to go charge the RFI at the nearest substation, we had to get ready for the fight ahead fast. We went through town to reach LaRoach's boats to set after the substation 'why'd it have be near water' was one big fear that mustered up, either way the fact that I just needed to sit there for a few minutes gave me some sort of respite as I tried to keep my mind off the fact that even if I succeed in defeating The Beast I'm going to die. This felt as overwhelming as it did when Kessler told me that this was what my entire point living thus far was for this fight, but this thought was quickly put off as I saw the destruction of the town ahead, I knew I couldn't leave just let the world go up in flames, I'll have to put in my all into this fight. LaRoache's men launched rockets at The Beast while he was destroying the substation. "Too late, man" Nix told as she got back the boat just then John turn around to get after us, he started to charge up his ball fire, LaRoach and his men were going to try and slow him down that's one sacrifice that helped me know that I had to this sooner rather than later.
Jumping from boat to boat until we made to shore, I saw John just tear through LaRoach's men like they were nothing, while there were many with RPG shooting straight at him not making any dent, I had to move to the next substation fast. Once we made it I had bad feeling in my gut as showed showed as fast as we arrived, just seeing him casually walk up like he was damn well near invincible was scary sure, but I knew that I had to take him on and make sure that this time I don't lose. I Started firing as he started charging up and then out of nowhere everything started gravitating toward his fist. Men, debis, heck even my lightning bolts then, he just grabbed me, I threw rockets at his face. He tried his best to keep me from shooting but after all the powers I gained from the journey for Blast Cores, I doubt he could have me stopped. He dropped me and I fell on my back, winded, but I kept firing until part of his face exploded "turn back, Cole!" Kuo told me through my phone as she showed up and started shooting at Nix. I won't go easy on her not after this I just threw grenades to keep her at bay while the RFI charged then John stood up for round two. 'This is gonna hurt a lot.' I thought to myself, I started by trying to take a shot but to my surprise he just repulsed us away and then the gravity he emitted was getting pulled toward his fist again and that's when I started to continue shooting then his fist dropped and I plummeted back to the roof "I'm not going to die for this, Cole!" Kuo shouted as she fired towards me. I kept my focus on The Beast if he goes down then it should be easy to charge RFI, I stunned him then I brought down the thunder, literally, but Nix surprised me by just charging forward shouting with anger at John, Kuo blocked her attack, now I was on my own. I grabbed the RFI and said " You're next " while John was stunned, I ran and I told Zeke that Nix is dead he told me to keep going, on my way to the Chapel I saw the Militia giving me cover fire they said "Go get him , Electric Man!" now I know how much fear pulls people together. I put the RFI in the makeshift power module and it was fixed within seconds and before I activated it, I decided to get my revenge just before I this battle. I dropped down to face him for the last time but his gravity pulled me in, making me have to use my static thrusters no words were said I just took some shots and kept firing before he could even try though by the time he fell, he was too weak to get to me. "Do it" Kuo said simply as she just started sobbing I tried to comfort her, she told me how scared she was I couldn't say I blamed her, but now was the for me to finish this. I took a bit to mentally prepare myself ,as I activated the RFI I felt a rush of power then ,it felt as if my entire being was ripped from my body I saw pain across John and Kuo then just a light.
I thought I could hear Zeke's voice but as it continued it sounded more and more like mine "HEY" it shouted angrily "You really want to lay down all day?" it asked annoyed "Who the hell are you?" I asked back "I'm your conscious." it said sarcastically as I opened my eyes I was still in New Marais everything looked normal, but I didn't see the guy talking to me "Where are you?" I asked out loud "uh, I don't know which roof is this?" it asked rhetorically, but there was no body around me "But there's no one here." I said "I mean there's you and me." it replied "That's confusing me even more than what happened to New Marais." I said angrily "Clearly nothing happened, how is that confusing?" it asked "That's the point nothing happened I mean I just killed The Beast." I stated "uh, Which Beast?" it asked confused "What do you mean which beast? The one with like a lava look" I tried to describe clearly "oh, You mean John yeah he's gone, but like you sure you killed him?" "Yeah I used the RFI all conduits should be dead" "Wait you used the RFI ,hahaha, that's awesome what was the look on his face like?" it asked while laughing out loud "You know you still haven't answered my question of who are you?" "Fine, ruin some of the fun, I'm the Beast" it stated like it was trying to spook me "but here's the twist man I also you." it said nonchalantly as I raised my hands without control,they looked paler than usual with some vains showing, then they sparked red showing off the color "What the?" I looked in shock, first time I've ever seen my lightning change color then the lightning changed into a sort of fire that reminded me of Nix's powers "wait, if you're me then how or why are you in my head, if you're in my head?" "I dunno you could also be in my head." "Don't say stuff like that hurting my mind" I responded. "I'm sorry for not showing up sooner" boomed in a newer voice "Great another voice in our head" I said disappointed "No, I'm not Mr. MacGrath I'm here to invite you to a Contest of All-stars, hope you agree as I went through the trouble bringing you back to a point of which you could've had all the power you acquired." Purple Head showed up out of nowhere "Wait you put another me in my head" "Well how else would you have those powers plus I get the addition of two contestants for my cast of All-stars" He said confidently "What if I don't want to be in this contest?" "You can continue what you wanted to do here" this made me wonder about what I could do here "Wait if it's a contest then there must be a prize" the other me asked "ah, yes it could be what you desire, a power if you will." "ooh, I'll join this seems like a great prize" the other me said "You sure that's a good idea?" "Come on if I don't someone else will am I right?" He said smugly, this made me realize that he has a point, the point of another monster with out to destroy the world"Fine I'll join" "Great I'll take you both to your new temporary housing".
There was a flash of white, but as I opened my eyes, everything looked like it was a blast from the past on one side of the room it was full of some mementos from Empire City like the poster of me standing heroically with lightning in my hand and some photos of the aftermath of the Blast and progressed into some New Marais Mementos like some of the weapons I got like the samurai sword. On the other side of the room it looks as if everything took a darker turn, the Heroic poster was a now me staring straight at you with half my face a skull and a Reaper Jacket pinned to the wall. What was kind of disturbing me was the middle of the room there was one bed with the two posters mentioned earlier but instead they had a marker drawing scribbled on to change the posters,the heroic one had a broken heart in over in and the Evil one just had a question mark, but above those were some pictures pinned to a wardrobe, I recognized that were some of Kessler's life moments it felt as though our ''host'' would consider us the same in a sense. I just decided end this day "Coming back the dead is kind of tiring" I yawned as I sat on the bed "Speak for yourself… don't correct me" the other me said.
A/N: I'll most likely have the POV change in between Cole and Evil Cole I may also have the POV for Evil Cole be the main one as I him better seems somewhat easier to write for but I might make him more complicated 3.I would consider Evil Cole to be a more dominate personality because of his want for if anyone has an idea for what they could called so I could differentiate the two of them would help a lot.P.S sorry in advace for any of my bad spelling or grammer
