InFamous: The Unusual Conduits

by Blackdrag-rose


New Marais: The Final Battle

Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were able to spend a good number of hours sleeping in the building that Zeke had claimed the roof of for his latest hideout, giving them an area that allowed them to rest and plan out their attacks in the area, or plan out how they were going to deal with the Beast. All three of them knew that they were going to need it, as the Beast had survived their first battle and simply put himself back together as they used the boat to flee from Empire City, and the Blast Core induced sleep that Cole was in would allow him to recover all his energy by the time he woke up. Of course the three of them were worried about their chances, as the Beast had took a nuke to the face, essentially ate it when it exploded, and came at them with the determination to kill them, only to disappear and then contact them as John White, who only seemed interested in activating Conduits at the expense of the people around them. The RFI was the only thing that was supposed to deal with the Beast, subtracting his abilities when activated, which meant that all they needed to do was distract him and let Cole activate the device that would allow them to win the final battle, but before that they needed everyone to gather together and figure out a plan of attack.

When morning finally arrived, and the three of them stretched for a moment as they worked out the kinks in their arms and legs, they walked out to where Zeke had been sleeping, as he slept on the couch he had been sitting in last night, and found that Cole was also up, based on the flash of powerful lightning off in the distance, indicating that he had regained the Ionic Storm ability, where he called powerful bolts from the sky to strike his foes.

"It's impressive as ever." Adagio commented, though at the same time her sisters nodded their heads, as the return of Cole's powerful Ionic Storm technique meant that he was near the peak of his power, only now that power was even stronger thanks to all the Blast Cores he had absorbed to reach this point.

"What is?" Zeke asked, though at the same time he coughed once more, showing that he hadn't improved since the last time they had seen him, before the door opened behind them and Trish walked out, only it appeared that she knew that Cole had found out that she had been hiding the fact that she had the plague from him.

"Cole's power... that's what she's referring to." Trish replied, as she glanced out at the area that the lightning had come from while she talked, because she was more interested in what her boyfriend was doing at the moment, before she sighed and sat down nearby, "Let's just wait for him to get back... I think it's time for you guys to take care of the Beast and end this madness."

"Yeah, I'm ready for the RFI." a voice said, to which the group turned around and watched as Cole climbed up onto the area that they were in, before sitting next to Trish, because finding out that she had the plague had added another reason for him to stop the Beast and eradicate the plague, "When are the others getting here? We've got a plan of attack to make, especially since we have no idea when the Beast will try to destroy New Marais."

"Nix and Kuo are on their way as we speak," Zeke answered, though at the same time he pulled out the RFI from where he had been hiding it, so it could be safe from harm while everyone was out doing things, and set it on the table in front of him, drawing the eyes of everyone to it automatically, "they're coming to watch you spark the RFI, so you can finally kill the Beast."

"Speaking of which, I'm here." another voice said, to which Kuo walked up to where they were gathered, though she looked sad about what was going on at the moment, even though they were going to see what happened when the RFI was finally activated and someone channeled the power inside it, before noticing someone else enter the area shortly after she arrived.

"It was bad... it was so bad you guys." Nix spoke up, using her warp ability to get into the area that the group was currently gathered in, while at the same time looking like she was upset, which made sense when they considered the fact that her domesticated pets had been killed earlier.

"I'm glad that you all could make it, because there's something that we need to tell you," Cole stated, to which he walked to the front of the table, parallel with the RFI, before he glanced at Zeke, Kuo, Nix, and Trish for a few seconds, as it was time to tell them what he and the Dazzlings had discovered, "Listen, things aren't as cut and dry as we thought. it turns out that the Beast is someone that a good majority of us knew back in Empire City... a Conduit called John White."

"John is alive?!" Kuo repeated, as she had been told that he had died when the Ray Sphere had been destroyed, as that was when the device had torn him apart, but at the same time she remembered the times that the two of them had shared back when they were spying on the First Sons.

"According to him he's still alive," Adagio said, as she knew that part of John must have died when the Ray Sphere tore him apart and he had been reborn as the Beast, especially since he had been ready to sacrifice his life to destroy the Beast when he first learned of it's existence when Kessler told him the news, "but he believes that he isn't committing mass murder when he walks into a city and initiates a Ray Sphere blast. He's willing to sacrifice hundreds, if not thousands, of people when he uses his powers in this manner, because it apparently activates the potential Conduits around him while curing them of the plague, and he's also tried to convince us to join his cause and betray humanity."

"Help him?!" Nix growled, getting to her feet and pointing at Cole, because in her mind Cole was the center of the entire group and that everyone gathered around him, meaning that the Beast was somehow his fault as well, "You're pal just killed all of my babies, and you're saying you want to help him?!"

"We never said that John was our friend, only that we knew him from Empire City." Aria stated, knowing that Nix was more unbalanced than she had been earlier, because those swamp monsters had been a force that had stabilized her mind and made her a pleasure to work with, "Besides, John's pretty much killing everyone that doesn't have the Conduit gene, and he's already killed who knows how many people on his way to New Marais... I honestly don't care what he says, the Ray Sphere destroyed John and gave birth to the Beast."

"Don't worry Nix, we're going to deal with the problem at hand," Cole added, to which he picked up the RFI and walked over to a more open part of the roof, as he wanted some room for when he activated the device and finally brought an end to the Beast, "Let's bring an end to this madness."

The moment Cole started to pour his power into the Ray Sphere, so he could finally take out the Beast and save New Marais from what the creature was planning, the Dazzlings watched as Kuo and Nix, who had smoke rising from their bodies, fell to the floor and cried out in pain. The instant they saw that Sonata moved through the air, as in she raced over to where Cole was standing, gripped onto the RFI, and ripped it out of Cole's hands, cutting off the power to the device and let the smoke that was emitting from their friends stop, as they knew that something had gone horribly wrong.

"Oh my god... I was dying." Kuo moaned, as she carefully picked herself up from where she was resting and stared at the RFI, because this wasn't something that they had been told about, though the new information that they had gained put a wrench in their plans, "I could feel my body dying."

"It didn't even fire off... it wasn't even fully charged!" Cole added, though he was annoyed, as Wolfe had told him that he needed a none specified number of Blast Cores to power the device before he could fire it, but this time them that they needed a power source or something to truly use the device against the Beast, "Zeke, did something in the RFI break before Wolfe had a chance to give it to me?"

"I don't know, let me look at it for a moment." Zeke replied, to which he took the RFI from Sonata and stared at it for a few moments, though while he had some knowledge of machines, even ones that empowered Cole and his powers, but he had the feeling that his skills might not be able to help them out.

"Wolfe, he had to have known that this was going to happen." Sonata commented, to which the rest of the group stopped what they were doing, as her sisters were used to her figuring things out before anyone else did and the others were taking a page from their book this time around, "If we use the RFI, like we just attempted, it's not going to kill just the Beast, it's going to kill every Conduit in the world, activated or not."

"Oh yeah, then why weren't you three affected?" Nix demanded, because she had noticed that none of the Sirens had been affected by the activation of the RFI, while at the same time she, Kuo, and Cole had felt their bodies start to die in the most painful way possible.

"I guess it's time we told you and Kuo the truth; we're not from this world." Adagio stated, deciding that now was the perfect time to reveal the truth to them, because even though Kuo knew about Discord she still didn't know that they were from an entirely different world, "Aria, Sonata, and I are from Equus, a world that the people of this world have somehow captured in the show called My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, where Discord, the Spirit of Disharmony and Chaos, is also from. A thousand years ago we were inhabitants of that world, before a powerful unicorn and his allies banished us to a world without magic, intending to eventually vanquish us in some manner, and that would have happened had another pony not come to the magicless world and brought Equestrian Magic to that world. Long story short we thought we could take advantage of the situation and seize control of that world, but we failed and our original powers were shattered, but some time later the pony that brought magic to that world tried to go home and we never heard from her again. We thought that, by entering the same portal she used, that we could find her and figure out what was going on, only to come here, join Cole after the Blast happened, and gained new powers with the purpose of killing Kessler, saving Empire City, and defeating the Beast when he showed himself."

"You're... ponies?!" Kuo asked, as she couldn't believe what she was hearing, even though she had a younger sibling that liked that show and told her all about it whenever they spent some time together, and she noticed that Nix seemed to be confused as well.

"No, we're Sirens." Aria replied, to which she noticed that both Kuo and Nix seemed to remember the stories of sirens, from this world anyway, and understand what she had said, or at the very least what their original powers had been before coming here.

"This is terrible, because if we don't use the RFI to kill the Beast than millions of people will die," Sonata said, drawing them all back to the matter at hand, because they needed to focus on why they had gathered together, while at the same time noticing that Cole had an arm wrapped around Trish at the moment, "but, if we do use the RFI to kill the Beast, then hundreds of Conduits, activated and potential alike, will lose their lives without knowing what's going on."

"I don't care what happens to me!" Nix stated, causing the group to look at her for a moment, finding a familiar look of determination on her face, before she glared at Cole for a few seconds as she turned towards him, "All I care about is that the Beast dies. The four of you need to make a decision; will you use the RFI and kill the Beast, or will you betray me and the rest of humanity and join our enemy?"

"Look, John's plan isn't pretty, but it's the right one." Kuo added, surprising the group for a moment, as none of them were expecting Kuo, who had recruited the four of them to take out the Beast after they got their new powers from Wolfe, which hadn't happened the way they planned, to suddenly become selfish like this, "Conduits are immune to the plague... he needs to make as many as he can before more of the sick, potential Conduits or otherwise, die. Think about that, instead of focusing on your damned pets!"

"Kuo, I know you're new to the world of being a hero, but we're not about to kill off the majority of this world to save a smaller portion of the population," Adagio said, because now was the time for them to get ready for the attack on the Beast, as she had the feeling that Kuo might end up betraying them, since they were already planning on sticking to the original plan, "Wolfe said that the RFI can also purge the world of the plague, in addition to dealing with the Beast, so we're going to power up this device and blow the Beast away. And before you say anything about how my sisters and I have no right to decide anything, we know exactly what Cole would choose to do before he even says anything... besides, you aren't the only one that finds the situation unfair. How do you think the three of us will take having to watch our friends sacrifice their very lives to destroy the Beast and save the world?"

Kuo growled at them, claiming that all of them were going to pay for what they were planning, before using her power and flew out of the area, though the only reason Adagio was letting her go was because if a battle broke out between them, and Kuo decided to attack them, her power over water would easily defeat Kuo's ice power.

"We've got bigger problems than Kuo betraying us." Zeke spoke up, to which the group turned towards him as he pointed at part of the RFI, as he had discovered something that was going to complicate whatever plan they were going to come up with to destroy the Beast, "See this broken part here? That's the power regulator. Without it, you'll just burn the RFI up when you go to use it. Fortunately, this being broken isn't the end of the world, because I have an idea that might just be what we need to fully charge the device and get it ready for the battle with the Beast."

Adagio, Aria, and Sonata glanced at each other as Zeke began to detail the idea that had come to mind while he was looking at the RFI, all while the group had been determining the side of the battle that they were going to be on, because they could tell that this plan sucked already... and yet it was the best they could come up with, in the amount of time they had, because the Beast would be coming the moment Kuo convinced him that she was joining his side and informed him of what they were planning on doing to defeat him.


Three hours had gone by since Kuo had revealed her twisted nature and went off to join the Beast, though at the same time Zeke contacted Laroche and told him that Cole and the Dazzlings were going to make their move on the creature that came to destroy New Marais. While it was part of the truth, as the Ray Sphere blast that the creature would use to activate all the Conduits in the city would pretty much blow New Marais to pieces, they also didn't tell Laroche and his Rebels that those that survived the impending blast would be transformed into people like them, superhumans. The reasoning was so that they didn't cause people to run to the Beast's side in an attempt to save their own lives, because if the RFI worked like it was supposed to, and also get rid of all the energy that had been released thanks to the prior explosions, the plague would be destroyed and humanity would be saved. With the information they gave him in mind Laroche eagerly agreed to help them and Zeke informed him of what he needed to do, to help charge the RFI, and that they intended to hit their foe with everything they had to give the four of them and Nix the time they needed to get ready.

By the time the third hour had come to an end Cole, Adagio, Aria, Sonata, and Nix were standing in one of the towers of the local citadel, where Bertrand had his rally when they entered the city, and both Zeke and Trish were there as well, preparing things for the final battle, even if they couldn't do much to help out this time around.

"We're running out of time, Zeke." Nix commented, as she was staring at the sky and she knew that the patterns resembled the handiwork of the Beast, as it looked like it was on fire at certain points and the sky itself was red, which told her what she had told them.

"Okay, we should be good to go." Zeke said, staring at the modifications that he had made to the power box in front of him, all within the last hour anyway, and at the RFI, which was drawing in power so it could be ready for the final battle with the Beast, "These things might fry fast thanks to all the power the RFI is drawing in, which is why I had Laroche and some of his Rebels hook up a few more of them around the city, just to make sure it gets all the power it can."

"You know what, it's official... this plan sucks." Cole spoke up, as he couldn't believe that they were actually going through with this, even though most of Zeke's plans, up to this point in time, had worked out far better than anything he could have come up with on his own.

"I know... I only wish we had more time to come up with something better." Zeke replied, as he had been thinking the same thing the entire time he had been working, but right now, thanks to Kuo going to the Beast's side, they all knew that they had to hit him fast, before he nuked the city and killed everyone, "Look, the moment the RFI is ready to go you need to flip the switch and activate it."

"Yeah, you got that right." Cole said, to which he glanced at Zeke for a moment and embraced him, because he was his best friend and he had certainly earned the right to be called that once more, before they separated and he turned towards Trish, who was doing her best not to cry over what was going to happen next, "Trish, I know I promised you a lot of things before all this happened... and I'm sorry that we'll never be able to do any of them."

"It's... it's okay, Cole." Trish said, though at the same time she pulled Cole close and kissed him, since this was likely going to be the last time that they would ever be able to share something like this, before pulling back and smiling at both him and the Dazzlings, "You and the Dazzlings are heroes to the people of New Marais, they're counting on you to defeat the Beast and save the city from him... so go save the world. Just know that I'll miss you after today."

Cole stared at Trish for a few seconds before nodding his head, showing that he agreed with her, before Nix said that it was time to get the show on the road and removed the RFI from the power box, to which she walked over to the edge of the tower, called out for the four of them to watch her back, and then took off. Not even a few seconds later Cole, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata followed after her as she headed towards the water that was off in the distance, where Laroche and some of his boats were waiting to take them to the first area that he and his men had set up for them. The moment they arrived at the area that Nix brought them to they started heading over in the direction of Gas Works, where they had been earlier that afternoon, only for them to learn that the Beast was already tearing his way to the first substation with a good number of Rebels attempting to stall him, indicating that Kuo had him what they were planning on doing, since she had a working knowledge of what the RFI did. Before they could get close to their destination, however, they found that the Beast was already on top of the first substation, which was when he loosed a powerful blast down at the device and blew it, and a few structures around it, to pieces, causing Nix to retreat to the boats with the RFI.

At the same time, however, the Beast turned and looked at them, indicating that he could feel where the RFI was located and started to move towards them, meaning that they were going to have to act quickly before something terrible happened, such as losing the RFI.

"Cole, you and Nix need to get the RFI out of here." Adagio said, though at the same time she and her sisters reached deep into their cores and tugged on their true power, as they knew that the time for holding back was over, because one wrong move would spell the end of everything they had been working for.

Cole nodded and, despite Nix's protests that the three of them should come with them, headed towards the part of New Marais that they had just come from, to which Nix followed as she kept an eye on what the sisters were doing, before she noticed the stunning blue auras that had wrapped around them as they floated into the air. That was swiftly followed by three pillars of blue energy swallowing them in the process, causing the air around them to shudder for a few moments as the ground and the waves shook under the intensity of what was going on, and Cole, who was familiar with this, knew that they were even stronger than when they did this the first time around. When the pillars died down, however, Cole smiled as he took in the familiar translucent wings, the odd energy emitting from their eyes, and the scaled fish tails that replaced their normal pony style tails, all of which indicated that they weren't holding back and that they were bringing their full power to bare against the Beast once more.

"MacGrath... what is that?" Nix asked, though at the same time the two of them jumped to the next boat, as the Rebels were moving towards the Beast and they were using them to get back to shore, so they could make a run for the substation that Zeke had set up earlier.

"That is what the Dazzlings look like when they're using their full power," Cole replied, though as he said that he focused on getting back to shore, as while he knew that the three of them could distract the Beast they wouldn't be able to hold him back forever, regardless of the power that they had been gathering the entire time.

The moment the Dazzlings had awoken their full power, and separated for a moment, Adagio raised her hands and two large serpent Water Dragons erupted from the water all around them, which she used to coil around the Beast and harden into Ice Dragons, restricting his movements as he struggled against her attack. While she did that Aria flew over to the flaming wreckage of the first substation and gathered the flames to her side, where she started unleashing a storm of powerful Fireballs and weapons that were made out of fire at the parts of the Beast's body that weren't covered by her sister's attack. Sonata joined them by gathering the wind to her side and started slashing at her target, cutting gashes into his arms and legs while he struggled to get free of the bindings that the Ice Dragons put him in, before flying behind him and unleashing a powerful gust of wind that knocked him into the water, allowing Adagio's attack to pull him deeper and deeper for a couple of moments. That was, of course, until the Beast finally shattered the bonds that were holding him down, rose out of the water, and crushed the three boats that were around him, as they dared to attack him while he was battling the Dazzlings, only for them to find that one of them had been Laroche's boat, causing them to silently mourn the man's passing for a moment before they got back to work in stalling the Beast with the rest of the Rebels.

The interesting part about all this was that the Beast was more interested in the Rebels than the three empowered Dazzlings that were flying around him, tearing parts of his arms and chest off with their powers, even his head at one point, but, just like their last battle, he simply regenerated his missing chunks and continued his assault... though when Cole's voice came to them over the phone, indicating that they had made it to the shore, the Dazzlings pulled out and the Rebels continued their assault. As they followed after Cole and Nix, however, they heard the sound of water moving and found that the Beast was now following after them, to which Adagio clapped her hands together and the entire harbor around their enemy froze, at least the area between where they were and Gas Works, giving them time to get into position now that the Beast had been slowed down a little more. Of course the Beast tore his hands free from the ice and Adagio, paying attention to him, turned that ice into a number of large bladed ice type weapons that punctured his arms and pinned him to the frozen part of the harbor he was in, before she turned around and watched as Cole and Nix slipped the RFI into the container that had been set up ahead of time.

"Turn away Cole." Kuo stated, a pillar of ice forming nearby as she stood on top of it, while at the same time she glared down at them, showing that she had turned her back on what they had been fighting for the entire time they had been in New Marais, especially since she was getting ready to blast them.

"Or what? You'll freeze me to death?" Cole replied, though as he said that Nix formed a smoky barrier around the RFI and the power box that it was attached to, which was great since the Beast had freed himself from Adagio's attacks and was coming at them once more, "Sorry Kuo, but you should have realized that your power would mean nothing against someone like Adagio and that you wasted your time joining the Beast's side."

Kuo growled as she started firing ice bolts at the group, though while Cole, Aria, and Sonata went to battle the Beast Adagio stared near her and waved her hand at the incoming attack, transforming it back into water that simply hit the roof in front of her. When Kuo tried her beam attack Adagio also separated it into several different strands that missed the mark, annoying her opponent in the process, before she even turned the pillar of ice into water, causing it to flow off the roof as Kuo hit the ground. As she started to get back up, however, Adagio moved her hands and the water from Kuo's attacks rose into the air for a moment, forming ice cuffs around Kuo's hands before she pinned her to the side of the building that she chose to stand on, which she followed up by pinning her legs and body to the building as well, to prevent her from moving, and then sealed her mouth shut, as she didn't want to listen to whatever Kuo had to say. As she wrapped up with Kuo, however, Cole unleashed an Ionic Storm right on top of the Beast's head and stunned him for a moment, giving them more time for the RFI to charge... before Nix, deciding that she was going to take matters into her own hands, let her flames form around her as she took to the air, looking like a firebird or something, before exploding when she came into contact with the Beast's stunned head.

As the Beast, now missing half his head, fell to one knew Cole and the Dazzlings didn't have time to mourn Nix's death, as Adagio and her sisters couldn't feel her presence anymore, to which Cole grabbed the RFI and moved out, to which Sonata caught him as he jumped into the air as they took off to the cathedral once more. When they reached their destination Cole was dropped down in the same tower that they had originally put the RFI in, back when this battle began, and slipped the device into it for a few seconds, before the electricity gathered around him, indicating that the RFI was fully charged and ready to go.

"I guess this is the end." Sonata said, though at the same time they heard the sound of something moving and found the Beast approaching them once more, fully intending to smash the RFI and Cole, but at the same time the three of them were ready to defend Cole so he could activate the device and end this.

"No, not yet." Cole replied, though even as he spoke he knew that Zeke and Trish had to be in a safe building nearby, so they weren't in the way of the final battle, before he glanced out at the Beast as their foe approached the cathedral, as he knew what was going to happen next, "I'm going to force him to admit defeat first, and then I'll blow him away."

Now that Cole was further empowered by the RFI, boosting his powers to the heights of what the Dazzlings used when they were using their full power forms, like they were doing right now, the four of them unleashed a storm of powerful attacks that forced the Beast to stagger as each attack hit him. This time around Cole's electric based attacks did a little more than what the Dazzlings could do, as the Beast was indeed forced to his knees, like he wanted, and it appeared that he was out of energy already, which made sense considering that he had been fighting three powerful Conduits before this point and the addition of the fourth was too much for him to bare. Truth be told the Dazzlings were a little disappointed in the fact that the Beast, once Cole was empowered by the RFI, went down so easily, because while Kessler didn't have the powers that their current opponent had he still put up a decent fight, though at the same time it appeared that Cole didn't care, as when they landed he pulled out the RFI and looked up at the Beast. As all that happened Kuo, who apparently freed herself from Adagio's grip, maybe because Adagio felt that she had been defeated and removed the ice when they started the final bout with their true opponent, walked into the area and fell to her knees... only to tell the four of them that they had made the right choice, that even Nix, of all people, had made the right choice, and that she was scared for what was going to happen next.

"Cole... it's time to end this." Adagio said, knowing that the time had come for her and her sisters to say goodbye to someone that they had come to call their friend, someone that had accepted them for their faults and had helped them forge a new destiny for themselves, one that came with the return of their former powers... and she would have been lying to herself if she didn't admit that saying goodbye to Cole hurt more than she was willing to admit.

Cole nodded, knowing that Adagio, Aria, and Sonata would be able to watch over the world for some time, making sure that nothing else like the Beast reared it's ugly head, and prepared to use the RFI and end this entire adventure, but before he poured his power into the device three yellow beams of energy came down on where they were standing, only for him to find that they were enveloping the Dazzlings. All three of them had been standing in positions around the Beast, to make sure that he didn't get back up before Cole activated the RFI, which was why the beams were separated as well, but as he looked around for the source of what was going on the Dazzlings looked behind him, where Cole turned around and found something that he could only describe as a chimera creature that looked like a serpent in terms of it's body. It was hard to say what the creature was supposed to be, as there were too many animals included in the construction of the creature, but at least the Dazzlings recognized it, only for Cole to realize that the only thing from their world, that appeared in this world, was Discord, the Spirit of Disharmony and Chaos that he and the others had been told about.

"You're right. It's about time your adventure ended." Discord spoke up, to which he raised his left claw for a moment and snapped his fingers, which caused the Dazzlings to lift into the air as they remained trapped inside the pillars that he had placed around them, "Please, don't struggle. I'm taking the three of you home, and there will be no ifs, ands, or buts in regards to the decision I have made."

"You're taking them home... to Equus?" Cole asked, as he wanted to be sure that the spirit was taking his friends away to some forgotten world or something like that, because from what he could tell at least Adagio and Aria didn't like him, while Sonata seemed indifferent or something similar to that.

"That's correct... though I should add a sleep spell to make things easier," Discord commented, snapping his fingers again, to which Cole noticed Sonata immediately doze off and that Aria fought it for a few more moments before finally surrendering, while Adagio was clearly holding it back, "Anyway, have fun saving the world!"

Adagio, seeing her sisters be knocked out by Discord's magic, punched the magical barrier that separated her from the outside world, because she couldn't believe that the Spirit of Disharmony and Chaos would care enough to watch them fight against the Beast and then rob them of the chance to say farewell to their friends before heading home, which was something she had never thought of until this moment. After the failure with the portal that Sunset had gone into, which had brought them here instead of where Sunset had been taken, she had thought that using portal related magic would be worthless, but right now she didn't want their adventure to end this way and fought against the spell that Discord had cast on her. As they rose into the air, however, Adagio watched as Cole smiled at them, showing her that he was grateful for all the time the three of them spent with him since they arrived in this world and that he was happy to call them his friends, before he gripped the RFI once more and started to pour more power into the device. Not even a few seconds later a beam of pure power burst into the sky and pierced the atmosphere, dispersing the energy around the entire world... and as Cole fell to the ground, and the RFI rolled away from his hands, Adagio watched as Kuo collapsed on the ground, the life gone from her body, and the Beast turned to ash that disappeared into the wind.

All Adagio could manage was a weak smile as she collapsed in the pillar that she was suspended in, just like her sisters were, before she closed her eyes and wondered what Discord had in store for them this time around... and then she drifted off into the enchanted sleep that the spirit had put the three of them in, not knowing where they were going for real or if he was even planning on letting them wake up when they arrived at their destination. All she could do was silently hope that he hadn't been lying to Cole, before her thoughts drifted off and she remembered nothing more.
