HELLO MY PEOPLE! I'm back with my first recreation story. This one is one of my favorite video game series, Infamous.
Here's my 3 rules of recreating:
1: The story is alternated, combining the characters.
2: The story is the same, except the characters are different. (Ex: Sora plays Delsin Rowe.)
2: Have a completely new story with characters from both series.
Also, OCs shall be accepted. However, in recreation stories, they have to be using the powers from the series. However, there are exceptions to this.
Now the rules in order to join in Infamous:
1: They must be human.
2: They must have a power if they are a conduit.
3: You can make your own powers for your conduit.
Now, Cole's karma colors and ranks are the same as in the game. However, Sora's karma colors and karmic ranks are different.
Here's the list:
Neutral: Gray
Guardian: Light Gray
Champion: Fiery Blue
Hero: Dark Blue
True Hero: Pure Gold
Villain: Dark Gray
Tyrant: Crimson Red
Destroyer: Jet Black with a deep red hue
Infamous: Abyss Black
Sora will also have a different outfit in each recreation story to better fit in.
If the text is like this, this means the character is narrating.
Now that's outta the way, there will be POV (Point of View) sections in this story. OK, 3... 2... 1... GO!
Chapter 1 : Introduction
Above the streets of Empire City in the Historic District, a male was free running on rooftops, jumping from building to building. He has ocean blue eyes and spiky brown hair, wearing a sleeveless gray zipper hoodie over a white long sleeved shirt, black fingerless gloves, dark gray pants, black sneakers, and a right shoulder strap slingbag on his back.
Hey there, I'm Sora. I just moved into Empire City 3 days ago and exploring the districts. The first two days here, I explored the Neon District and the Warren District. Both have their own style, different scenery, all that jazz.
He jumps to one more building and stops at the edge, overlooking the streets.
I travel the world for new adventures, meeting new people, all that. Then, everything changed. And that happens today. A person caught my attention, riding his bike. He had a shaved head with a stubble beard, a black and yellow leather jacket, pants with a stripe on his right leg, a slingbag with a Sly Cooper logo and the numbers 1 and 3 with a phone attached to the single strap, and tabi shoes I guess he uses for free running like I'm doing. Don't know why but, something about kept me interested, leading to me following him. I lost him when he went in a public garage. I found him again after some time however, he was holding a big futuristic sphere in his hands. Next thing I knew...
BOOM!
It exploded, then everything went black. I woke up after some time and saw the damage from the explosion. Simply put, it looks like hell came early. I was able to stand, surprising only have a few cuts and bruises. I looked around and saw the man on the pillar in the middle of the aftermath. He was standing however, he was in worse condition than I was. Then, I heard a voice coming from the helicopter above us.
"You two down there! If you can walk, go to Fermont Bridge into the Neon District!"
Cole's POV
I had a look of confusion on my face, looking around to see what he meant by two. I then saw a teenage boy not too far from me. Unlike me, he had less painful injuries. What stand out about him was his spiky brown hair, which looks like it should be in a anime.
"You OK, kid?" I asked him.
He took a deep breath and responded.
"Besides surviving a explosion, just dandy." He joked.
I lightly chuckled before I took the little path he was on.
"We better get to the bridge."
"Oh yeah. Btw, name's Sora."
"Cole MacGrath."
We continued down the path, then Zeke called me.
"Cole! Cole, where are you?"
"Zeke? Was there an explosion?"
"No shit, there was a explosion! News are saying that terrorists are blowing stuff up around the city! Hurry and get to the bridge! We'll get Trish and find someplace to hunker down!"
The call ended and we entered the garage that could collapse any minute. There was a nearby electrical current and next thing we knew, we were getting electrocuted by it. It ceased, leaving us standing.
"That should have killed us." Sora commented.
"Apparently it didn't. Let's get moving." I said.
Normal POV
Sora and Cole continued through the garage and finally made it to the bridge.
"Cole!"
They then see a slightly chubby guy waving from the bridge, who Sora guessed was Zeke.
"Get across! We gotta go!"
They were about to start crossing until suddenly, the electricity from the nearby lamp posts and hit Cole and Sora.
"AHHHH!" They both yelled out in pain. Then, lightning bolts came down and struck nearby cars and people.
"Oh no, it's the terrorists! Hurry Cole, get across! The bridge could come down!"
Didn't have to tell them twice, they were running across the bridge like bats outta hell. Lightning bolts rained down around them but, they kept going. They finally crossed, only to pass out from their injuries and exhaustion.
Sora's POV
I woke up after who knows how long in a hospital bed. I looked around the room, seeing Cole in a bed next to me and Zeke in a chair, fast asleep. There was also a woman in a chair at the edge of his bed, looking at a picture who I'm guessing was someone she was close to and died when the blast happened.
"Did you lose someone?" I managed to find my voice to ask.
She looks towards me and delivered a sad smile before answering.
"Yes. She was my little sister. She died when the blast happened." She said.
One point for me.
"Oh... can I see it?" She was hesitant but, she walked over with me sitting up and handed me the picture.
"She's pretty. What's her name?" I asked.
"Amy." She simply answered and I handed her back the picture. I look over to Cole, who was still asleep.
"You a friend of Cole's?" I asked her.
""Girlfriend." She simply said.
"OK. I didn't get your name."
"Trish Dailey."
"Sora."
2 days later, me and Cole have fully recovered. However, while we were in the hospital, Empire City has gone to hell. Crime went through the streets, cops are either dead or too terrified to face the gangs that control the districts, society committing suicide. But, something was beginning to happen to the two of us. The most obvious thing is lightning coming out of our hands. Over time though, we learned to control and master it. Just hope it's not too late.
Normal POV
Zeke, Cole and Sora were just hanging when Zeke decided to watch tv.
"You mind putting on the freak show?" He asked.
"Glad it's good for something." Cole said.
"Make sure to charge them all. TV's a hog."
After about 2 mins of Cole charging the homemade batteries Zeke made, TV was up and running. Feeling that he has more power, Cole decides to fry a couple of dummies. After a little bit, a plane was flying really low than a plane normally would.
"It looked like it was about to hit us." Zeke commented.
The TV was then showing the "Voice of Survival."
"Hey, it's the TV jacker! I love this guy."
Sora's POV
I don't usually watch the TV jacker. He is basically a different version of the news. However, he told us that the plane we saw dropped some supplies in Archer Square. We definitely decided to go. Zeke took the stairs while me and Cole took the "express elevator."
"Wish I could do the things you guys can do. Taking the stairs, that sucks donkey balls." Zeke said.
I let out a small laugh and started to head to the square, only after we got Zeke's new six shooter. We arrived to see the supplies hanging from the statue.
"Even though it's a plane they dropped this from, they can't aim." I said then looked at Cole. "Race to the top?"
"You're on." He answered.
We climbed up the statue, nearby people watching us, and reached the top in a tie. We then shot the hook that the supplies was hanging from that dropped them to the ground. People then started to open them until we heard gunshots coming from across the street. We then saw them... the Reapers. The gang that control the Neon District. Well, that changes today.
"Come on, Cole! Time to teach them a lesson!"
He nodded and we jumped, both of us delivering a thunder drop to the ground, hitting a couple of Reapers in the process. The fight was quick and painful, blue and gray lightning bolts flying, electrified fists and feet hitting Reaper faces, and they were defeated.
"Yeah! Awesome!" I exclaimed.
Cole's POV
We managed to beat the Reapers for now. After the fight, the people went back to opening the boxes. Then, I thought of something.
"There's enough food to feed the four of us for weeks, maybe longer. However, these people will starve." I can see Sora staring at me, like he knows that I'm thinking about the people taking the food or not.
"Remember Cole, the decisions you make will define you. You can either be the city's savior or tyrant."
I thought long and hard but in the end, I decided.
"I got one open! Let's eat." A male civilian said.
(Good Karma +)
(Cole's Karmic Rank shifted to: Guardian)
(Sora's Karmic Rank shifted to: Guardian)
Normal POV
"You mad the right choice, Cole." Sora said.
Cole looked around to see Trish.
"Hey, Trish." He said.
"Oh, thank god you two got the food down. These poor people are starving."
"We're just doing what we can." Sora said.
The voice of survival then appeared on the big screen. What he said can be simplified to the people think that Cole's a terrorist now. Everyone was looking at him, things were going to get ugly. Cole and Sora quickly made plans with Zeke to go to Stampton Bridge, try to get out of town. Cause right now, they were running a little short on friends.
DONE! That was a little tough to do because I had to recreate the introduction of Infamous 1. It's been awhile since I played the Infamous series, so sorry if I got something wrong like a place or dialogue. I'm also sorry if the Infamous characters are OOC, I'm trying my best. I'm thinking of doing the evil side of the story but, that will be highly unlikely. Like/ Fav/ Follow/ Review this story.
Sora: I like my attire for this story.
I know. Until next time, adios!
