inFAMOUS 3: Equestria
The Manehatten Showdown
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCole rocketed back towards the almost-capital city of Manehatten, and he entered the town to find it deserted.
“Oh come on!”
Cole walked into the now ghost town, and looked around, trying to find out what happened.
He heard a single voice, a female.
“Welcome back Cole…”
He shivered. It reminded him way too much of Sasha.
“Where are you?”
A mare stepped out from the shadows, laughing.
“Right here Cole.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“My name is unimportant.”
Cole blinked, and then remembered when he’d been tied up here earlier.
“It was you, wasn’t it? You were the one that had me trussed up like a pig!”
“Indeed it was.”
Cole looked at the mare, trying to figure her out. Her light blue coat and purple mane did not seem to go together, but at the same time, they did. She wore what looked like a big purple cape, and a pendant rested on her chest, the stone in the middle a simple blue.
“Admiring me, are you? Well… let me give you more to admire.”
She hits him with a blast of magic, knocking him back a few feet, and then she grins, the stone in her pendant flashing red, and she unleashes a fiery blast at him, trying to roast him.
“Damn pyrokinetic…”
Cole dodged the next fire wave, and then he fired back, hitting her with shot after shot of electricity. Then he remembered one of his accessory powers, the Firebird Strike. He glowed with power, and then charged at her, his arms and legs aflame, and when he reaches her, he grabs onto her, carrying her for the remainder of the flight, and then he unleashes the power in a burst of fire and heat. Her health dropped to a little under half, and she unleashes her own barrage at close range, sending him flying, bolt after bolt of magic hitting him in the same place, and he slammed into a stone pillar, destroying it, and then another, destroying it as well. Cole got up with some difficulty, but once he siphoned off some electricity from the generator, which he ended up landing next to, he felt much better, and then he returned the favor, firing off an alternating stream of Hellfire and Freeze Rockets, each amplifying the previous one’s damage, until her health is pretty much nonexistent. He charged at her one last time, finishing the battle with a single electrified strike from the Amp, doing a side-flip in the process, smashing her head into the ground, and she died.
Cole sighed as he finished her off. He did not even want to have to kill the leaders, but he knew he had to. That was the only way to put a stop to the gangs themselves. Cole checked his map, seeing the only location left was the capital of this strange place. It was called Canterlot. Cole hopped onto the railroad tracks, and sped north, and he saw a mountain in his way, but then he saw Canterlot just sticking out from it.
“Ponies. They make no sense whatsoever.”
Cole saw a drop just before Canterlot, and he smiled. He launched himself up the mountain, using the Static Thrusters to get an extra boost, and then he flew into the air, soaring over a good part of Canterlot, and he landed on the spire of a building. Cole jumped down to the generator, and recharged it without any issues at all.
“Okay…that can’t be good…”
The power came on relatively soon, and the lights that filled Canterlot began to glow once more. Cole smiled to himself, and he thought his mission was done. But he soon felt that there was a portion of the city that was not electrified… Castle Canterlot. Cole looked towards the giant Castle, and he could feel some sort of evil presence inside.
“Well, one last thing to do, eh?”
Cole laughed to himself, and then started walking towards the Castle.
Once he got to the Castle’s outer gates, he noticed there were no guards there at all, and as far as he could see, the place was deserted. Cole made his way inside, and then came upon two gigantic doors that he assumed led into the throne room of the Castle. He heard a quiet beeping he never thought he would hear there, but he heard it anyway. It was the beeping of a drained electrical box.
“Wonder what that’s doing here…”
Cole charged it up after a little while of firing bolt after bolt into its receiver.
“Hungry little thing.”
He heard an ominous boom as the box became fully charged, and he felt the doors now start to give a little. He pushed on one, and it swung open. Cole walked into the throne room, wary of any traps there might be there, and then the door slammed shut behind him, locking again.
“What the hell?!”
Cole thought back to when he was talking to Spike, and remembered that Spike had said something about Twilight possibly being trapped in Canterlot.
“Twilight? Twilight Sparkle? Are you there?”
Cole looked deeper into the darkened room, and he saw a dark figure sitting on the main throne in the room. The lights flickered on, and Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Electricity, was sitting there, staring at him with a crazed look on her face.
