Back so soon!? Indeed! Let's start the chapter!

Chapter 3 : Back in Empire

Sora's POV

We finally got home and were on the roof when Cole finished explaining.

"...And it drains neuro - electric energy." Cole finished.

"Whoa! I knew it. Government in cahoots with the secret organization, the Ray Sphere. It all makes sense now." Zeke said.

"Calm down. You're going to hurt yourself." Cole said.

"That Ray Sphere must dish out powers to anyone controlling it. You gotta bring it back here."

"Sure. I could use another sidekick."

"Ha, ha, ha." I sarcastically said.

"Ah, hell with that. Zeke Jedadiah Dunbar is his own man."

"Your middle name is Jedadiah?" I asked out of confusion.

"Yes it is, after my grandfather. Strong man for a man his size. Uh, I don't know where Zeke comes from but, I'm certain -"

"You need to take a nap, and a bath. We got things to do." Cole said.

Normal POV

Moya calls them a few secs later, telling them that she's got some leads. She sent them coordinates to the location and they were off. They arrived a few mins later at their destination. She told them something about interferences on a nearby rooftop. That's when they found out about dead drops, messages that John left behind about his undercover mission in the First Sons. They then was later tasked with simple tasks, from saving clinics to saving hostages. In the process, they were cleaning up the district, one by one.

Cole's POV

After a few tasks, we had to follow a echo to a substation, also leading to a suicidal Reaper blowing it up. After that, the power was out. I felt drained and Sora was as well. We then continued to follow the echo to a manhole, leading to the underground sewers., in order to reboot the power in the section of the city.

Sora's POV

"I don't think I'll get use to this smell." I commented.

"You should. We might have to do this more than one." Cole said.

We then found a connector, which then Cole completes the connection with his body. The surplus electricity then bounced off him and onto his me, giving me the same powers he's gaining.

(Sora & Cole gained: Pulse Heal, Bio Leech and Arc Restraint)

We traveled down the tunnel and healed a civilian. Thanks to him, the gate opened, allowing us to proceed further. Cole then proceeds to heal the other civilians while I used Arc Restraint on the grounded Reapers. We then went ahead, later finding the man who's echo we were following. I asked him to open the gate but, he declines, thinking that he's still protecting his wife. We told him what happened to her, leading to him opening the gate.

(Good Karma +)

We finally found the generator and rebooted it, restoring power to North Beach. 3 more times and we will have the power back to the entire district. We did a couple of other tasks, splitting up in the process. I was dealing with a couple of Reapers when ice pillars came out of nowhere and cleared most of them out. I defeated the rest with well aimed headshots. I then looked around, wondering where the ice came from. I walked to the alley where the ice came from.

"Hello?" I called out.

No answer.

"I just want to say thanks for the help." I called out again.

Still, no answer.

"Either a silent type or already gone."

I looked around again, looking at the rooftops. I then saw a figure that then quickly disappeared.

"Wait!" I called out. I then quickly climbed the building and reached the top. When I did, the figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn. Lost it." I looked around again to see the figure on a higher rooftop nearby. I quickly sprinted to it, noticing a ice pillar at the edge.

"That must be how she got there." I jumped on it and jumped off. I managed to grab the ledge and climbed up. When I did, I noticed the figure was a girl. She has waist length brown hair tied in a braid, emerald green eyes, wearing a black tanktop, dark blue skinny jeans, brown lace up boots and a leather belt with a sharp dagger attached to it.

"Huh, didn't expect an Ice Princess." I said to myself.

Next thing I knew, she ran at me, dagger drawn.

"Oh boy!" I managed to grabbed his hand holding the dagger. However, when I did, something unexpected happened. We both yelled in pain for a couple of seconds and passed out. I woke up after who knows how long.

"What the..." I said in confusion.

I looked at my hand, noticing it emitting a misty blue.

"You have my power."

I turn to see her slowly get up. I helped her up and put her on the air conditioner to sit.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"When you grabbed my fist, I felt my power being absorbed by you. That's why you have that misty effect on your hand." She said.

"Well,... will you teach me how to use this power?"

She thought about it, then answered.

"Sure." she simply said.

"Btw, what's your name?"

She looks at me with a smirk on her face.

"Fawn Everette."

"Huh, nice name."

Done again! Two chapters in one day, again! So, Sora finds out he can absorb other powers and is able to use ice. OK, so until next chapter, adios!
