A/N: I'll just start off by saying that all events in inFAMOUS are disregarded except for characters.
Cole MacGraph, a lean, lanky man who wore an open jacket with yellow sleeves and black overalls, with union jack jeans, never expected this.
He was only a care free college student who wa partaking in a traveling program.
He honestly didn't want to go to the destination of the trip - Japan - but his best friend and brother figure, Zeke J. Dunbar, a portly person with golden eyeglasses and a black biker's jacket who often greased his hair back (intentionally or unintentionally giving off a look similar to Elvis Presley), said that if it were all free, then he asked why he couldn't.
Don't get Cole wrong, he was curious as to what it was like in the foreign nation.
But despite himself, Cole was never really known as a person who enjoyed exploring unfamiliar places.
Sure, doing parkour tricks over the same places every day got old when he memorized the entire city by heart, but he always had a way of either getting his ass in trouble when he arrived, or end up severely lost, his "manly pride" never allowing him to ask for directions.
The 18 year old looked out his window and sighed, the clouds passing loosely through the air as he flew through the air.
After a while, Zeke had actually convinced him to come with the program in order to go to Japan.
He smiled bitterly as he thought of the things that Zeke said they could do when they actually got there. Explore, eat, flirt with girls...
Cole sighed.
He really didn't have any interest in any girls whatsoever at the moment, mainly due to the fact that he already had his eye on a certain lady at the moment.
The only problem was that she didn't really see him in the same light, despite them being friends.
He sighed again, trying to push any thoughts of Trish Dailey from his mind and locking them out.
He didn't want to spoil Zeke's mood after all.
He looked at his friend and smiled as he saw that he was asleep.
Cole looked back out the window, seeing that it was only the crack of dawn where he could see.
Sadly, he was an insomiac.
His eyelids were immensely heavy, and his body seemed to groan from exhaustion.
But Cole couldn't sleep.
He always had to at least go for a little run before he could sleep.
It was his way of breaking off steam.
But sitting next to the window, Cole could do little but look to the two people beside him and out the window.
He deeply hated this. It was like telling someone who needed space to move about to sit still in a tiny cubicle in a work place.
He always had been the hyper one in his family growing up.
As the golden coin slowly and dully rose from the horizon, Cole watched as it doused the world in a shade of Orange, steadily growing in color to become slightly blue, before he observed it change the sky blue once more in its presence.
Cole sighed for the third time, this time out of total boredom.
He seriously needed to move.
Now.
He'd go insane otherwise.
But as luck had it, it actually turned out the plane had finally arrived.
Several minutes later, Cole stood up and walked through to the escalator, stretching his arms wide, slightly cracking the stiff joints in his arms.
God, that felt good!
He and Zeke walked through with the crowd of people, Cole himself not really paying much attention to the instructor, his mind on his surroundings.
This was a nice place.
He wondered if it'd be fun to hone his free running skills here.
The group each took their bags, and Cole couldn't help feeling that his bag was a bit heavier than he remembered.
However, he shrugged this feeling off.
It was probably that heavy before he came here, and he just hadn't noticed.
Oh how wrong he was...
About an hour later, the group itself was waiting for a bus to take them sonewhere else, but one person was missing.
And Cole personally blamed Mother Nature for him missing the bus when it came and his class left without him, despite Zeke's likely attempts at trying to hold them up for him.
Cole groaned, seeing that the bus was gone.
It wasn't his fault that he had to use the bathroom right at that moment!
He reached in his duffel bag of a suitcase, looking around the clutter for his cell.
He felt his manly pride dying as he realized he would need to call Zeke to give him directions...
But instead of a phone, he realized that he was hearing a steady beeping sound as he felt something round and smooth come across his hand. He pushed his other hand inside to see what it was, and he pulled it out, seeing a spherical object beeping and glowing. His hands rubbed over it in his surprise.
"What the hell..." Cole wondered if this was one of Zeke's usual practical jokes, turning over sphere carefully.
He shook that thought off quickly, looking even more nervously at the sphere.
This was definitely NOT one of the pranks Zeke always pulled on him.
This was far beyond what Zeke would do for a joke, even for him.
He studied the ball in his hands delicately, greatly taken aback by the way his hands pressed the two sides together so easily.
What followed was...
Cole never expected this.
He could just hear it... all the screams... all the cries... all the deaths...
