inFAMOUS 3: Equestria
Diversion!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Cole was riding along the rails, he saw several wires that ran alongside the tracks, and he tried to figure out where they were going. He turned his head towards the west, and saw a huge cloud there, easily the size of a small city.
“What the hell?”
Cole stopped, and then got on a wire, his balance amazing, and he grinded his way up it, defying gravity at times. He reached the giant cloud in a matter of seconds, and when he got up there, he looked around, standing on one of the few things that weren’t made of cloud.
“An entire city…made of clouds?!”
Cole carefully jumped down, using the Static Thrusters to ensure he didn’t fall through it so fast if he couldn’t stand on it, but when he touched the cloud, he stopped. It was as if it was solid concrete.
“Hmm….”
Must be the electricity keeping the cloud together under me.
He looked around, trying to find the generator, as he could feel that this place was completely out of power. After a few minutes, he gave up for a bit, and went and continued walking around, when he literally tripped over the generator. It had sunken halfway through the cloud! He sparked it some, and it began to rise up, and he continued feeding it electricity until it had risen completely. He activated it, and it began to charge, the metal mesh on top of it crackling with electricity. He hopped on top of it, and watched as the first wave of the Aeros came flying at him.
“TARGET PRACTICE!!!”
Cole launched bolt after bolt, each one knocking a Pegasus from the sky, and this continued for a moment, until the generator’s power surged, and the second wave came flying in even faster. Cole didn’t have time to target each one, so he just switched to the Bolt Stream and shot everything in sight. Pegasi were dropping like flies, and he spun around just in time to stop one from slamming into him from behind. He barely managed to get a Punch Blast off right in front of him, and it negated the Aero’s momentum, knocking it to the ground. The third wave came in right on their heels, and he sighed. “This had better be the last wave.” He uses his last Ionic Charge, and unleashes another Ionic Vortex right at them, sucking them all up, crashing them into each other, leaving their bodies behind. He felt the generator hit full charge, and it sent out a pulse of cleansing electric energy, frying all the enemies left. Cole hopped down, but then he spun around as the generator sputtered, then died.
“The hell?!”
Cole heard a feminine laugh from above him. He looked up to the rooftops, and saw a single Aero sitting on the ledge of one of them, her hind legs hanging out over the edge. He fired a bolt at her, but she just leaned out of the way. It wasn’t until he moved into Precision Mode that he saw that she was different from the other Aeros. She was wearing something on her right foreleg, a band of some sort. She laughed, having noticed him staring at her.
“Notice the band, didja?”
“Who are you?”
“The name’s Prisma.”
“And you are what, exactly, Prisma?”
She was on the ground, and knocked him down, and stood over him in the blink of an eye.
“I’m the leader of the Aeros.”
Up close, he could see her dirty, but still obviously multi-colored mane and tail, and her cerise eyes looked pretty familiar. It wasn’t until he saw the rainbow on her flank that he finally recognized who she looked like.
“You look like…Rainbow Dash…”
She cocked one eyebrow, and laughed.
“Took ya this long? Wow. I’m her granddaughter.”
“I thought Rainbow would never have done something like this!”
“Well, I’m not her, and this is a different time.”
Cole threw her off of him, as she was light, given her species. He jumped up and back, and fired bolt after bolt at her, and she dodged each and every one.
“You’re gonna have to do better than that if you want to beat me!”
He moved into Precision Mode, but even then, she was too fast, a feat normally unable to be accomplished.
“How can she move so fast…?”
“Well, I am the granddaughter of the fastest pony of her time, and the daughter of the heir to that title. It’s in my DNA!”
She zoomed by him, knocking him to the ground, and she grabbed a cloud, and gave it a good kick, and it dropped a good amount of rainwater on him, drenching him, negating his powers as they kept fizzling out. He dodged the next few showers, and dried off after a bit. He smiled, and shot a Sticky Rocket at her. It split apart right before she could dodge it, and each part stuck to her, and exploded, knocking her from the sky in a dazzling display of electricity. She fell to the ground, and almost made it back into the air, but Cole shot her with his Taser Beam, the power he gained from his first Equestria Blast Core. She shook, and then fell back to the ground, paralyzed. He took advantage of this opportunity, and used the Hellfire Rockets, completely annihilating her… or so he thought. After just a few seconds of the barrage, he cut it off as she zoomed back into the air.
“How the hell can she survive something like that??”
He blinked, and saw a little red bar above her head, that was barely chipped away at.
“This chick’s got health for days!”
He launched another Sticky Rocket at her, stunned her, and then returned to the barrage, this time stopping every so often to stun her before she can get back up again, the electricity rebounding through the cloud to keep him fully charged, and he continues firing the Hellfire Rockets with one hand, and then does something supposedly impossible… he uses his other hand, and uses the Bolt Stream on her as well, the good and evil powers mixing and intensifying the damage. By the time the barrage ends a full minute later, she has barely any health left, and is left on the ground, unable to move except to try and guard herself. He moves in, and grins darkly.
“And this is what you get for leading a terrorist gang.”
He fought her for a moment, her hooves trying to hold back his glowing hand, but they failed, and he grabbed her by the muzzle, and sucked the rest of her life out, fully charging him, and over charging him as well. Once it was done, she was lying there…dead.
“And so the Prism shatters...”
He used the extra power to recharge the generator, and Cloudsdale, knowing the name now, as he had seen a few signs, came back to life. Cole rode back down the wire, and jumped back onto the train tracks, done with the diversion now, and he raced on toward Manehatten.
