inFAMOUS 3: Equestria

Twilight sighed. “Great, a human. First I’m accused of calling down a huge bolt of lightning, then I find a human in the center of it.”

Cole just looked at her.

“That was probably my fault. John’s Ion Field must have overcharged.”

“How can a human even survive something of that magnitude?!”

“Well, I am rather good at dealing with electricity, being a Conduit and all.”

“A what?”

“A Conduit. It means I have a special gene that lets me be an electrokinetic, or so the science people say.”

“You? An electrokinetic? Those are only rumors here….”

“Well, I am. Also, where’s the nearest electric thing that I can recharge from?”

“Uh…there’s a generator in town.”

“Cool. Lead the way.”

The human and alicorn walked in silence, and then made for the center of town, where the generator was housed.

A generator glowed with electricity. Cole smiled, and put his hands on it, draining it of a good chunk of its initial charge to replenish his Battery Cores. He recharged it with a few non-draining lightning shots, and it was good to go again.

“Ah…much better.”

“Now, tell me who you are, electric man.”

“The name’s MacGrath. Cole MacGrath.”

“Well MacGrath? How in the name of Celestia did you get here?”

“I already told you. John White sent me here through a portal he opened. Speaking of which, where am I?”

“You’re in Ponyville. Who’s this ‘John White’?”

“Well, at least the Ion Field worked then… and he’s also known as the Beast.”

“Wow…never heard of him.”

A mint green unicorn stared at him from afar for a bit before approaching Cole.

“A human….”

The pony vanished after that.

“So, where are you from Cole?”

“Originally, Empire City. But after they cast me out, calling me the Demon of Empire City, I went down south to New Marais. Spent some time there, killed Bertrand, the governor of the place, but he was evil, so it was justified, saved the Conduits, and ended up here thanks to John.”

“Why did this ‘John’ send you here?”

“He sent me here to activate any and every Conduit I could find, if there even are any.”

"I see. Now, you said you were an electrokinetic. Prove it.”

Cole pinched his nose between his thumb and forefinger, sighing.

“Fine.”

His hand was instantly haloed by electricity and he fired off an Alpha Bolt at a nearby tree. The shot struck true, and left a scorch mark on the tree.

“Whoa…”

Even for Twilight, whose horn continuously exuded electricity, seeing a small bolt of lightning being discharged from a human’s hand was impressive.

“Okay, I believe you.”

“Good. Anything else you’re wanting me to do?”

Twilight noted the sarcasm in his voice. “Nope.”

“Good.” He sighed. “So, where am I going to be staying?”

“Um, what?”

“Well, it’s not like I’m only here for a few hours. I’m going to be here for a good long while.”

“Oh, yeah.”

Twilight turned to face the massive crowd that had gathered, having heard the thunder coming from the Alpha Bolt.

“Will anypony be willing to house the newcomer?”

Two voices shouted in unison, “I’LL DO IT!!!”

“Pinkie and Lyra…Why does this not surprise me…at all?”

She waited for a moment, but not a single other hoof went up.

“Well Cole, your choice.”

“Uh…Lyra, I guess.”

A squeal of delight echoed through the quiet town, and Lyra was standing next to Cole in less than 10 seconds.

“My very own human! Eeee!!!”

“Hold on a minute Lyra. I’m not anyone’s ‘human.’”

“Oh…”

Twilight sighed. “Anyhow, welcome to Equestria.”

Lyra led Cole back to her house on the outskirts of town, and Twilight disappeared in another flash of violet light.
