inFAMOUS 3: Equestria
The Final Battle
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“I must thank you, Cole MacGrath. You finally set me free from that infernal Time Crystal that I was trapped inside of.”
She casually motioned to shards of blue crystal on the floor.
“But you really shouldn’t have done that….”
Her horn glowed, and a blast of lightning struck Cole in the chest.
“You see, we are rather similar. We both have the Conduit gene, and that is what allowed me to become Equestria’s Princess of Electricity, as I am an electrokinetic as well. But we differ in just as many ways. You see, you have pyrokinetic abilities, with a few stronger electrokinetic ones, but I have cryokinetic and aetheriokinetic abilities.”
To prove her point, she hurled a chunk of ice at him, followed by a bolt of subzero magic. Cole blocked the bolt with a Magnum Bolt of his own, and blasted the ice into vapor.
“Yeah. So?”
“It means you cannot defeat me.”
“You know, that’s almost the exactly what Bertrand said… right before I kicked his ass!”
Cole fired off a bolt at her, but it stopped short, slamming into a wall of lavender energy.
“Ah ah ah… you wouldn’t hurt a Princess would you?”
Her voice darkened slightly when she spoke her title.
“I would if the Princess had completely lost it!”
Cole raised his hands into the air, as if surrendering, and Twilight dropped her guard just long enough for Cole to use one of the two new powers he got from the Manehatten Blast Core. She began to glow with a lavender aura, which Cole started siphoning into himself, draining her of her energy and magic.
“Aura Leech. It’s been a long time since that appeared in Equestria.”
Her aura shifted, and suddenly grew thorns, preventing him from draining her further, but it still took away a quarter of her health. Her aura faded again, and the fight resumed.
She unleashed a barrage of magical shots, lightning bolts, and cryokinetic blasts. Cole blocked what he could, absorbed the lightning in order to recharge himself, and dodged the Ice Bolts. They left patches of frost wherever they struck. A moment passed, and the barrage began to stop.
Her horn glowed brighter, and three runes appeared in the air. One for magic, one for lightning, one for ice. They were connected by a purplish circle of magic, and then they began to spin.
“Dark Forces! Lightning, Magic, Ice! Final STRIKE!!”
A swirling beam comprised of Dark magic, Ice magic, and pure lightning surged towards Cole. Cole drew upon all three of his recovered Ion Charges, and unleashed his newest power, the Ion Beam. A blue column of lightning struck the Tri-Beam, and held its ground for a moment, but the Tri-Beam slowly advanced, beginning to overwhelm Cole.
“It’s all over Cole…Just give up!”
“Never!”
Cole reached into the innermost depths of his being, and called upon his full power. He drew from the gigantic storm that was brewing over the Castle, having been summoned by the static charge, and magic. It could not resist, and it gave Cole its power. The Ion Beam grew larger, and it took the fight back to middle ground.
“I won’t. Give up. That. EASILY!!!”
The Ion Beam pulsated once, and then began to quickly overwhelm Twilight’s final attack. She grew desperate, and called upon the Alicorn’s Gift, the gift of unrivaled power, but even that was not enough. All it could do was delay the inevitable.
“How?!”
“I have all of my power…and then some! You already used most of yours up!”
The Ion Beam finally completely defeated the Dark Beam, and it knocked Twilight back, sending her flying backwards head over hooves, and she landed on the ground, sprawled out, her energy down to just a quarter of what it was.
Cole ran to her, and grabbed her by the horn.
“You were never meant to be a Conduit.”
He held her there, making sure she couldn’t move or attack him at all.
MAJOR KARMA MOMENT
Well, I could just drain her of her powers, send them back into this place’s environment, and return her to her kind for justice… or I could take them for myself. I’d be unstoppable here! I could rule over these pathetic ponies!
(Drain her to return her? Good Karma Ending. Drain her and take over Equestria? Evil Karma Ending)
