Energy- first choice- evil
Cole looked at her and said in a dark voice “Alright, I’ll bust you out… But you have to strike me down to make it look like you escaped. The only reason I’m doing this is because I don’t think the princess can get us home, but if we gather an army of conduits, we might have a fighting chance. With all our powers combined, I think we can find a way back home. Now, back up.”
Cole raised his hooves to the barred cage and said “We do this together. When I strike, you strike.”
Lightning and molten sludge hit the force field hard burning and electrocuting it from both sides as the force of the two conduit’s power became too much to handle, the shield dissipated allowing Nix to escape. As she left the cell, she attacked Cole, slamming him into the wall.
“AH! What the hell? That was way too hard!” He said clenching his chest.
“That’s revenge for choosing Kuo over me!” Nix claimed with a crooked smile.
As she ran off for the palace exit, Cole stayed behind and waited for the princess to return. When she arrived, she became furious at the fact that the cage was empty. “Where is she Cole?” She asked.
Cole shook his head and fibbed “She escaped! I tried to stop her, but she was too strong… Sorry.”
The princess took off to try and stop Nix in vain. Nix was long gone by now.
Cole was carried by one of the guards to the throne room. As he sat to the left of Celestia, he could tell she was angry at his inability to stop Nix.
“Well… This is just great!” She said sarcastically. “I knew I should have stayed… Look, this isn’t your fault. I should have stayed and kept watch. Now we have a murderous, powered up pony headed for what appeared to be Manehatten. My guards confirmed that this is where she was headed… Cole, in order to redeem yourself, you need to chase after her. Also, be on the lookout for a conduit there. My informants tell me there’s one in the general facility.”
As she finished, another mare entered. This one was an alicorn as well, but blue. Her hair looked like a compilation of stars, but she was a tad bit younger looking then Princess Celestia.
“Sister.” She said as she walked into the room. “Have you any word of the phenomena known as conduits?”
Seeing Cole, she asked if that was one of them. Celestia replied by saying “Yes… But he has already gotten off to a bad start. He let Nix free. You met Nix; She was the one who controlled the flaming sludge.”
The mare approached Cole and looked him up and down while Celestia introduced her as her sister.
Luna asked Cole why he couldn’t stop her. Cole lied about it by saying she was just too strong. (Cole now has a dark appearance and bad posture. Due to his poor decision, his lightning is now red. He is now an underground thug.)
The two princess's told Cole to go to Manehatten at once. As the sun set, he entered the train traveling to Manehatten. When he exited the station, Nix showed herself right behind him.
“Thanks for busting me out. It really means a lot to me.” She said walking up to him.
Cole rolled his eyes and said “Look, if we’re going to form an army, I need Intel from the princess’s. There’s more than one, so we need to play them as long as possible. I need to see how powerful they are. Once I know what I need, we’ll deal with them, but for now, you need to help me find this conduit.”
Nix agreed, looked at Cole and said “So… You think you still got it in you? Before we go looking for this dude in the city, let’s head to the rooftops to see what powers you still have.”
