In this chapter it's just gonna be Zeph, Kario and Madison because they were doing a mission to kill some reapers and dustmen ect. So it's just gonna have Zephin, Kario and Madison in it hope you enjoy the chapter. I'm sorry if it's not good i'm working on ideas. It takes place after Cole spreads his rampage in new York City. So that's where Cole is first, and Zeph might go back to empire city in the next chapter i'm still thinking about it.
Note: If there is something wrong with my story right now just tell me nicely i'm trying to be creative as i can but i don't always have the best ideas, and speaking of that i will accept ideas, OC's and some advice to make my story better.
Chapter Two:Close Encounter
Zeph was on top of a building watching from above at the choas that was brought on empire city. There was many conduits and reapers walking free on the streets nothing have been the same since The Beast A.K.A. Cole MacGrath have taken over everything and made it into hell. Zeph continued to look down and saw more evil conduits coming towards his territory. Zeph then jumped off the building and landed on the ground next to his friend Kario. Whome is another young conduit who got his powers when Cole took over, and killed many people to become the most feared thing alive. Cole did many criminal things and killed then betrayed many of his friends. Cole's psychotic, evil been spreading all around the world, nations, states, countries, town cities, any thing you could possibly think of, his best friend Zeke have been killed because of Cole's evil actions. Nix, have even tried her best to save the every one and the world, but to no avail, Nix have been murdered, in the hands of Cole. Now known as The Beast.
Kessler, the dark evil version of Cole MacGrath in the future was not as worst as Cole is today he have ruined many lives and killed many people for his on purpose for evil power. No body is safe from The Beast rampage on the world he have conquered four cities and two states with his army of evil conduits. Cole have truly become a twisted creature in deed, nobody wouldn't even consider him a man anymore he was now known as the beast and would always be known by that name reputation of the evil he have done. There wasn't much good conduits in the world any more since , The Beast is using them all for his own power. There were some coduits that have tried to fight against The Beast to free humanity from his chaos but yet again to no avail, they didn't live to tell the story or save the inoccent people. Alden, one of the last victims on The Beast list to kill before Kessler. It is unknown if Alden lived or not from The Beast' attack but, Zeph was sure no normal person would have survived that but still it made some since that Alden could have died on impact from hitting the water considering how old he was.
Zeph knew so much about Cole thanks to the man who was sent all those TV broadcast about him though out the whole time he was going up against the Reapers, Dustmen, Alden and Kessler. Once the world was going through hell The Beast identity was still known as Cole MacGrath, Moya even seen it coming and she didn't do nothing about from the beginning. Although there are more conduits out there to save the world from, The Beast. They might be young but they are powerful and have complete control of they're powers. They're powers might not be anything The Beast have seen before, the new war begins now.
Zephin and his friends was on top of a building looking down at the chaos The Beast created. Everything was in ruins, the houses, the streets, cars, any thing you could think of was destroyed. It was a whole new age now that, The Beast is now in control of everything, The minions of The Beast was on patrol again for another night. And, no one good was even on the streets at this night. The only good people that were watching the streets was Zeph and his allies as they were gonna began they're first fight with Cole MacGrath fiends.
"Hey, man your ready for this" Kario asked staring at Zeph, "There gonna be a lot of bad guys out there and i don't know if we're that prepared" Kario said, looking around the streets from the building they were on. Zeph looked down the streets and saw a pack of conduits walking down the road. Zeph then, picked up a near by sniper rifle and began to aim, without answering his friend question. Zeph aimed at one of the conduits and shot him at least three times in the stomach to be exact.
"Whoa, what the hell!" One of the other conduits cried searching around for the targot who just assassinated one of their men. Then Zeph fired the sniper rifle again and shot the other conduit in the neck, and the next conduit he shot in the shoulder, ribs and chest. Once the last two conduits found, Zeph, they made sure to aim before they shot at him, "It's those little son of a bitch kids again, waste them!" One of the conduits yelled loudly and started shooting them with the electric energy that was coming from their hands, "Oh, holy crap, Zeph, man come on!" Kario said getting up and running fast to the other side of the building and jumped on then next on. Zeph then put his sniper rifle back around his torso and, ran up to Madison picked her up quickly, then ran fast over to the very end of the building and jumped to the next one.
The Conduits continued to follow them and shoot at them until they caught them, "Come back here you little bastards!" The conduits yelled at them but although ignored them and continued to run, "Zeph, Zeph! Please i don't wanna be here" Madison cried sounding like she was beginning to cry, "Please take me away from this!" Madison cried as she was near tears.
"It's okay, we're gonna get out of this one don't worry!" Zeph assured Madison before him and Kario jumped of the building and ran into the ally ways. Although that didn't stop the other conduits from following them and they continued to follow them into a dark parking lot in the back of the ally was, "Good, just what we need a dark place for our stealth" Zeph said to himself smiling. Zeph and his other friends then ran into the dark parking lot and hide in there as the the last to conduits followed them their trap. Once they were in there the two conduits were looking around the room to find Zeph and his allies waiting for the perfect time to kill them. Little did they that they were in Zeph's trap and he was about to kill him. Zeph used his black chains to throw around the conduit's neck and pull him in. Once he was deep in the dark Zeph slammed him on the ground and stabbing him in the chest with his Karma's (which are small scythes) and then sliced him in the stomach.
The last remaining conduit quickly started to get frighten from the noise of a body being slammed on the ground and screaming. The conduits used the energy he had to make a light so he could see where Zeph and his allies were, then all of a sudden there was two lights in front of the conduit's face and it shined bright it looked like truck lights, "So long, you son of a bitch!" Kario screamed as he used his powers to turn on the truck and use it to run over the conduit. once he was ran over by the truck it exploded and that was leaving them to believe the conduit was dead. Zeph and his team was all proud of their work on getting rid of the conduit, "Good works, guys, now lets see what other conduits are out there it won't hurt to do a little searching" Zeph announced as he and his allies followed behind him.
Once they were all out of the ally, they all began to go into stealth mode. They all quietly stayed in the shadows so none of the Beast guards would spot them. Zeph then jumped on a pole on the building and started climbing it with Madison on his back. Kario climbed up after Zeph went first and both jumped to the side too get to the window. and climb further up the building. When they were on top he Zeph let Madison down and got out his sniper rifle to see who was in the streets to strike their next target.
"Zephin..." Madsion said in an innocent tone, "Do you see Beast any where?" Madison asked cuddling close to him. Zeph glanced at Madison and smiled at her as he answered her question, "Well, not yet Madison, but we'll find him don't worry" Zeph said with a smile and felt good with Madison next to her. Kario just came up with an idea for the conduits. Kario saw about three conduits and used his technokinesis to cut the cars on and run over the trucks the other conduits were in and the trucks flipped over causing the trucks to explode some how. The other conduits were alerted from the explosion. The guards have all alerted from the explosion and was now getting to shoot any trust passers in the area, "Stay here" Zeph ordered both Kario and Madison as Zeph jumped off the building and into the shadows.
Zeph stayed close to the shadows to make sure he stayed hidden. he then pulled out his sniper then shot three guards and killed them, he ran into another near by shadowy area and stayed alert of any danger he might come upon. Zeph then ran fast to another dark area as he took cover then when Zeph scaned his surrondings for enemies, he gasped as his widden as he saw one of the people hated and was ready to kill, Cole Macgrath. Zeph's anger started growing widly as he clenched his teeth together as well as his fist as shadowy energy started coming from it, Cole Macgrath or as he is now known as "The Beast" have nearly killed his loved ones and destroyed all his bases and some parts of his neighbor hood. Zeph remembered when the conduits have lunched an attack on his neighbor hood that dreadful day, Zeph soon got so filled with rage his enegry started increasing. Cole was standing in front of some trucks as he was walking through the streets, Zeph gathered all the dark enegry he had and used one of his dark powers called, Beam of Despair, Zeph then tried to blast Cole with it but miss and struck a spot that was six feet away from Cole. The conduits trucks exploded which caused Cole to fly forward andhit the ground hard. This made Cole completely angry and red electricty started coming from his arms and quickly shot back up ready to fight.
"Who the hell did that?" Cole angrily yelled as he growled, Zeph, wasn't afraid to show himself at the least. He jumped out of the shadows with rage in his eyes and dark energy around his fist. Cole, chuckled and smirked at Zeph from height and apperance he didn't think a third-teen year old could kill him, "Who, the hell are you supposed to be, kid?" Cole said laughing. This only made Zeph even angrier as his energy became stronger, "I'm the kid who's gonna kick your ass until your dead, bitch!"Zeph spat out walking two feet closer. Cole just chuckled at this he was not scared in the least as electricity came from his hand, "Then, bring it on, you little son of a bitch" Cole insulted as he blasted the electro balls at Zeph. He dodged by jumping and blasting them and then ran up to Cole with full speed he gathered all the negative he had and punched Cole in his chest as both of the flew backwards and flipped over one time, Cole, tried to trip Zeph by hitting him in the legs with Cole usinghis own arm. While, Zeph, was in the air he kicked Cole in the face and kicked him in the stomach and once again when Cole was on his knees kicked him in his throat causing Cole to get slammed backwards hard on the rock hard ground and gasp for air. Zeph jumped on Cole and gathered all the dark negative he had and powered it up with his anger and hatred it started to come around his body a little Zeph began to, wildly punch and assult Coles face as the dark energy gathered. Cole then coaght one of Zeph's hand and punched Zeph with electricity.
Zeph have been thrown off Cole which gave him the full advantage to get up and strike back. Cole shot back up then grabed his amp and tried to smash Zeph's body with it but from Zeph being an amazing fighter, Zeph, let out a fierce growl and kicked Cole in the chest with both of his feet, making Cole drop his amp causing it tp slide seven feet away from him, when got up quickly and tried to retreive his amp, Zeph used the Dark Drain ability as four of them stabbed into Cole's back making him yelp in pain and fall down to one knee as Zeph used the other dark roots to grab on to his arms as they began to drain Cole's enegry Cole was screaming in pain as the enegry was being taken from him Zeph was also pulling on them while keeping them to make the energy come out even more painfuly. Cole did not have much energy left as Zeph stopped the dark drain but never ejected the roots. Zeph smiled as he swong the roots around with Cole still attached to them, then let go as Cole flew into a near by damaged car and hit then flipped over it after he hit the car. Cole got up weakly as he tried to run over to any thing electrical to drain so he could regain strenght.
"You know, kid... Your stronger than i thought when i first saw ya" Cole said weakly and losing much blood. Zeph just laughed and let Cole continue, "But, it's night time and that means it's dark and all my conduits will be in every corner of the shadows waiting to kill you!" Cole spat out as he actully spat out blood. Zeph didn't find Cole threat to be of no worry cause he knew he would win this one way or another. Zeph then ran up to Cole as black smoke started covering his arm then Zeph punched him in his chest causing Cole to fly back really far back and the ground hard as he groaned from the pain.
"Here's a news flash, Beast, I ambush in the dark my power is dark. My power is dark. I use the darkness to my advantage!" Zeph as he turned his hand into a black and purple monsterous claw and smashed Cole's face into the ground with the palm of his hand then removed it to see the damage it did to Cole's face, he had three red scratches on his cheek and a red mark on the side of his head with blood coming out his mouth, "No, you can't beat!" Cole cried tring to claw away, but before he could Zeph grabed his face with both of his claws as he was about to began the dark drain again.
"Watch me" Zeph said in an threatning tone as the dark drain was about to began, then all of a sudden, an ice blast came and shot near Zeph and Cole and pushed the both of them back. Zeph slowy got up on his knees to at least be fully prepared for his second target to fight.
"What..." Zeph yelled in a surprised tone and still on his knees, "Kuo?" Zeph exclamed still surprised. Kuo just gave Zeph a small smirk as she played with her sub zero ice cold fingers a bit. Zeph looked up at Kuo with anger in his as more dark energy flew around his hands and his sharp nails broke into the hard ground. Zeph then blasted Kuo with purple lighting that came from his hand and stuned her, and then quickly got on one knee and arm triped Kuo from the front and then got up grabed one of her legs, swong her around a few times fast and throw her across the street as she hit the ground Zeph turned his attention back to Cole, who was not there any more. Zeph, started to look around for Cole and scaned his surroundings so he wouldn't get the jump on him, then all of a sudden red lighting came out of the sky and blown up the whole-half area Zeph was in, "Zeph, no!"Madison said believing that her friend was now dead. Cole the voice of Madison and his amp off the ground ready to kill any other trust passer, then completely out of no where, Zeph, appeared out of black puff of smoke and lunched a powerful, strong, punch at Cole's face, then he spined around before falling down on the ground face first. Cole grunted as the pain didn't only go through his face but through his head as well Zeph then got up ran up fast to Cole and kicked him in the face causing blood to fly out of his mouth.
"Ow... Kid..." Cole couldn't even get his words out straight cause he was in pain, "Sooner or later i'm gonna come back and i'm gonna kick your ass, hard!" Cole said as he blast Zeph, but he stomped on his arm before he could. Then Madison called Zeph on his speaker phone conected to his belt.
Madison:"Zephin, Zephin, can we go i don't want anything bad to happen to you!" Madison cried sounding frigthen.
Zeph:"I'm fine, Madison, don't worry about me..." Zeph was gonna say until he saw Kuo tried to shoot him with on of her ice blast but Zeph avoided it when he teleported in black smoke and re appeared behind a car, "You know what, this really isn't the best time Madison i'm getting attacked by Kuo and the bitch, Cole!" Zeph almosted yelled as he got up from behind the car for a few minutes to throws shots at Kuo and Cole.
Madison:"But Zeph, It's to dangerous out there come back!" Madison cried, sounding very scared.
Zeph:Don't worry, i'll be okay, see ya!" Zeph said then hung up. Zeph ran from behind the car and throw purple beam (that is shaped like a spear) at the car that was right next to Kuo and Cole then exploded causing both of them to get blown away from the blast and hit a building. Zeph was about to kill the both of them but then the conduits came and stopped him from doing so.
"Hey, you, ya little basterd!" One of the conduits yelled at Zeph, "Your gonna die for messing up my boy, the Beast shadow bitch!" He yelled and then started shooting with wind made up into balls. Zeph flew upwards by using the dark negative enegry as a jump boast and then flew forwards using the darkness. Once Zeph was one the building, he took one last look at the man he tried to hit him with his powers: The man had pale skin, grey eyes, brown long hair that come to his shoulders. He was wearing a gray hoodie, jean with many cuts in it, and gray boots. Most of his clothing was grey.
Zeph made a run for it as he ran back to the same building Madison and Kario was on, then picked up Madison and told Kario to run as the other conduits and Cole was chasing right behind them below the building. They all jumped from building to building to escape the conduits and to live for another day before they're next challange. Once they were all safe for a few seconds, Zeph, teleported him and his friends to another location. Once they were gone, Cole, let out an angry growl and then punched deep into the ground, his anger grow more and more he thought about Zeph. The boy who almosted killed him, the one who could have put an end to him forever, and the one who also got the best of , Kuo, started giving Cole weird looks as she watched his anger grow. Cole knew he couldn't let them get away or live he wanted how ever stood against him dead and this boy will be one of Cole's main problom for his legion and army of conduits. The boy was incredibly young but incredibly powerful as well Cole will have to keep all his wits about him if he ever had a chance of defating him but Cole didn't just want to defeat the boy he also wanted to make sure he never bother him again, to never interfere with his plans again, to make sure he will be gone forever... Cole needed to kill this conduit.
Zephin's (POV): To night was our second encounter with the Beast ever since he came to my city and destroyed pretty much everything. Madison wasn't very excited after the second encounter with, the Beast then soon became a fight to the death. I was so close to killing that son of a bitch, Cole Macgrath, until Kuo got in my way She is also one of the people who've turned this world to hell, Kario, didn't look very thrilled with our accomplishment either they keep mettering things about my saftey and the danger of Cole but him or his damn army of conduits didn't scare me in the least bit. For extra fire power when we going up against conduits or the Beast again, Kario upgraded my two mini sythes and some metal gear on to it and some chains for when i'm fighting he even made me two clawed gloves for extra power and damage if i ever get into another bad jam again. He made Madison a staff to focus her powers on if she needed more enegry, the staff can help her powers better and will useful to her in the future and Kario, he mad himself to devices that goes around his wrist when he when ever he needs to use his powers for technalogy.
We're gonna have to be full prepared if we're gonna put an end to Cole's rampage on the entire world and it's people i was always the dark bad one but now the world got a new evil threat and it's gonna be up to us to stop the Beast once and for all.
