Krika: Hey guys, Krika here again bringing you chapter two of A New Age.
Jake: Which one of us gets an awesome power?
Rick: And who doesn't?
Krika: All will be revealed my friends, disclaimer Rick!
Rick: Krika1119 doesn't own inFamous.
(Rick's POV)
It was late at night when I was thinking over of who is going to get a power and who isn't out of me and my brother, I could imagine Jake using his powers for mischief and trouble, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't do that since he was entrusted with the family vest, "Oh man, I hope I get a power instead of Jake, I mean, that would be extra trouble for me if he controlled something dangerous," I was talking to myself as well, I have no idea what power either of us could unlock, and I'm not sure if it is a really harmless, or really volatile power, I guess I'll need to wait 'till morning.
(The Next Morning)
I went downstairs to the kitchen to get some breakfast, and then I notice Jake asleep on the couch, "Uh, Jake? You alright little brother?", and as quick as a flash, Jake was up and wide awake, "Oh, hey Rick, yeah I'm fine, just you know, late-night tagging is all," he wasn't joking about the late-night tagging part, he would sometimes sneak out of the house and tag stuff at night, since this is the only time I'm off duty, that and vacations and days off, he can get away with it, "You did that again?! Ugh, I keep telling you to not do that, I mean, you can't see in the dark!", I was lecturing once again at my brother, he got a bit bored and walked off to the kitchen to get some breakfast, I just gave up and went into the kitchen as well.
"So, what do you want for breakfast, bro?", Jake was a bit of a cook in the house, and pretty good one too, "Ah, just some eggs would be fine," Jake usually knows how I like my eggs cooked, "Right on it bro, let's see here, have this here and-AHH! WOAH!", I looked to see that Jake caught his sleeve on fire, oh man, "Holy crap dude! What the heck did you do?!", I went to get the fire extinguisher, but when I came back, Jake wasn't on fire anymore, and he had this dumbfounded look on his face, "what happened to the fire?", I didn't get a response for a whole minute, "I...I absorbed it...I-I drained it," this got me interested, only one thing to ask, "Well, try doing something that might impress me, c'mon, you are my younger brother after all."
He nodded slowly in response, we went outside to look for something to test to see if Jake actually got a power or not, "Hey Rick, how about this sheet of metal? Seems like we could use this," I observed the piece of metal carefully, after I was done, I set it on a dead tree stump, "Alright, try firing off a few shots at that," my younger brother nodded in response, and got in a place, "Alright, I can do this, I can do this", and right at that moment his right hand lit up in flames and he got this determined look on his face, "I can do this!", and right there, he just fired off a flaming shot straight at the thin sheet of metal, melting most of it in the process, my brother is a conduit now, and he got the most destructive ability you can think of.
(Jake's POV)
I couldn't believe of what I just did, "I'm a Conduit now, heh, I am a Conduit now!", I was cheering my butt off, and loud enough of where both mom and dad came out at the same time, "What's going on out here? We heard some cheering, and someone yelling that they're a Conduit now," I looked at my dad with the biggest smile I had, "That someone would be me dad, I'm a Conduit," dad got all wide-eyed when Jake announced his newfound power, "Awesome! What ability did you get?", Jake then created a fireball in his right hand, "Fire," our dad then flipped out with excitement, "This is great, I guess we're meant to be an awesome team, smoke comes from fire, this is great! Me and your mother thought that one of you would become a Conduit, but we didn't really knew which one of you though," this got me and Rick confused, they knew that one of us would be a Conduit, yet they didn't know which of us?
"We thought that one of you would inherit our original abilities like neon or smoke, but we didn't expect a Fire Conduit to be born," our mother explained to us of how a Conduit child is suppose to gain their abilities, and she also mentioned that some Conduit children, like me, can gain an entirely different ability, like fire, or any other base element, "So, I guess that means I'm a special kind of breed of Conduit then?", mom and dad nodded in response, this got me all excited, this is going to be epic!
"Oh boy, that means I need to keep a close eye on you Jake, that fire power of yours is very destructive," and there goes buzzkill Rick again, lecturing to me again about the dangers about being a Conduit, "You might as well listen to your brother, Jake, he's going to help you out on your journey," I got the biggest confused face you can think of, "What do you mean by that? What journey?", even Rick got confused of what our father meant, "I mean is that you guys are allowed to go travel to places on your own, like Seattle, you two are like me and uncle Reggie, you may not get along on some things, but your brothers, and you have to look out for each other," me and Rick nodded in response, hey at least I get to start a journey with my older brother, and it is going to be an awesome one.
(Hidden From Sight)
A mysterious shadowy figure watches the Conduit family, "Heh, so the troublemaker has become the Conduit, that's going to be a problem, he could be as strong as his father," this mysterious figure is one of the stragglers of the D.U.P., but whoever this man is, he's as powerful as Augustine herself, "I guess once I face up against him, I can take his powers for my own, heh, this is going to be fun," the mysterious figure disappears in a cloud of steam, this is one man that Jake needs to watch out for.
(Rick's POV)
I was thinking over of how I was going to get Jake to calm down with his ability to control fire, I mean, it is a very destructive element, and it's going to be hard for him to control, I guess that's why wants me to go with Jake on his journey, "So, how excited are you Rick? I mean, we are going on an epic journey after all," Jake was busy packing his stuff, he even packed dad's old vest, I guess he's bringing that thing with him, "Actually, I am a bit worried, I mean, you have the ability to control fire, and fire is an element that's going to be hard for you to control," my brother laughed a bit, which got me confused, "Oh c'mon dude, it's not like I'll go willy nilly, shooting fire shots at everything," he had a point there, and also he already named his first ability.
"I'm just saying, and also, I'm wondering of how you're going to get new abilities, I mean, all the D.U.P. core relays were drained of their juice from our father," no one's sure if there are any core relays anymore, our father drained them to unlock new abilities for each of his powers, "Than that's why we're going to Seattle my brother, there has to be some old DUP stuff lying around there, and maybe a couple DUP troopers to whack in the head," I chuckled a bit, he's a lot like our father alright, in a personality sense, but I did notice that he was packing his spray cans, "Oh man, don't tell me you're going to go tag stuff in Seattle, are you?", my brother always wanted to go to Seattle, one, to see the Space Needle, and two, to tag some spots in the city.
"Oh yeah, big time bro, once people see the epic art I can do, they'll start respecting me, not only as a human being, but as a Conduit as well," there are still some people who call Conduits Bio-terrorists, and it's not only the D.U.P., there is still that gang in the Lantern District of Seattle that despises our father's kind, "Yeah, well, just don't cause any trouble that may cause people to disrespect you," I finished packing my bag, I packed all the essentials I needed, and so did my brother, which is odd, "Oh trust me, I'm going to be like my father, the 'Hero of Seattle'," I chuckled a bit, hero is not in my brother's compartment.
(Jake's POV)
We had just finished up packing our stuff, but first, I got out my vest and put on, had to represent the family when me and my brother get to Seattle, and I'm going to represent in a huge way, by tagging my most awesome stencil art around the city, "So, you two ready to head out on your little adventure?", our mother joked a bit, she likes to do that sometimes, even since she met our father, in a Conduit to Conduit situation, "Yeah, and I got your vest on dad, I'm going to represent this family in an epic way," I said in pride, our dad smiled, he was really happy to know that, "Well that's awesome, also, be careful out there, there are still some people who don't like Conduits that much, so stay out of trouble, and I mean it," I could tell he's serious about the staying out of trouble part, "Don't worry dad, I'll be keeping a close eye on him, he won't get into any trouble while I'm around," and there goes buzzkill Rick once again, killing the mood as usual.
"I know you will Rick, just be careful out there you two, and be the best conduit you can be Jake," I nodded with a smile on my face, this is going to be one epic journey for me and my brother, "Well, let's get going Rick, Seattle is awaiting!", me and my older brother walked out to Rick's truck, since he is the only one out of us that can drive, I'm going to have a relaxing trip to the city of where our father began his journey as a hero.
Krika: And that's chapter two of my inFamous story.
Jake: Cool...fire abilities.
Krika: Cool it, fire-starter.
Rick: Don't give him nicknames, it'll only encourage him.
Krika: Whatever, anyway, review and don't flame.
Jake: Or I'll use my fire abilities on you!
