Dr. Wolf’s secret report findings #283.
Hours of research has led me to the understanding that Cole is invincible… And when I say invincible, I mean his consciousness will never cease to exist. If he uses the RFI, his body will be dead, but his mind will be sucked into a different world. What’s worse is if this happens, he will not be able to return to this universe… I do not want to go into detail as to how this is possible, but rather simply say that he could end up in a number of parallel universes that is undiscovered by us. This breakthrough will literally be the ultimate in science discoveries. It’s just too bad this will never be known to the outside world. People will think Cole McGrath is dead, when really, his conscience, memory… Basically his whole mind will be transported to another world and will probably develop a new body for itself to use… Depending on which world he is in, however. I tried to tell him, but time was short and I missed my chance. It may be better if he doesn't know. Not only that, but I don’t know what will happen to the other conduits once the RFI is activated. For all I know, they could end up in the same universe or a completely different one! This may be harming other beings that we have yet to discovered, and technically still don’t know about. It is without a doubt that Cole will survive… But is there a possible way of getting him back home?
________________________________________________________________________________
The dazed and oddly confused Cole McGrath awoke in a field of colorful flowers. Sun shined down upon his buzz cut mane and warmed his body. Looking around with one hell of a head ache, he said “What… Where am I? I thought… THE BEAST!”
He stumbled to his hooves and panicked. “Where is he? Did I kill him? I must have…" Loosing concentration on his deceased foe, he noticed his body. Seeing the lightly grey coat and the new form he had taken, he began to wonder why he was a pony.
“What the hell? Am I… I’m a pony... Why am I a pony?”
He stumbled and walked through the flowers trying to remember what happened just before firing up the RFI only to remember a bright blue light and then nothing.
“Am… Am I dead? Did I die after the explosion? That must be it, but then, why am I a pony... do i still have my powers?”
He pointed his hoof forward and fired a blue streak of lightning. It eradicated and burned some flowers where the bolt landed. Smiling at his unique talent, he said "Even if I'm dead, I'll still have powers."
Blue skies filled the air, and in the distance, he could see a town. Cole decided to go investigate to see if he could find someone to talk to. As he tried to gallop, he tripped a few times before getting the hang of things. This world was nothing like earth. Cole saw mountains and beauty all around him as he approached the town. When he got to the entrance, he slowed down and crashed once more. A local gave him a hand by grabbing his hoof.
“Well, someone’s in a hurry.” The local said.
Cole just got to his hooves and proceeded to enter the town. Walking through, he saw it was extremely colorful, and everybody was a pony. As he walked through the town, he saw everybody looking at him. He did stick out like a sore thumb. Unlike everyone else, he had a different look; Scars on his face, and a shaved mane. He looked around and tried to think of what to say. Just before he did though, a mare walked out of a local bakery. The way she looked put his odd style to shame. She had a beautiful mane that sparkled in the light and was decorated with royalty jewelry; Not to mention the fact that she had wings on her sides and a horn sticking out of her hear. She saw Cole and gasped. As she walked over to the stallion, Cole cocked his head while frowning.
“Well, a new comer in the town of Ponyville? What’s your name?” The mare asked.
Cole hesitated before deciding to introduce himself. “The names Cole McGrath… I’m a little lost… And confused.”
The mare smiled and said “I can understand that. I sense a power within you.”
All the other ponies gathered round the two as they talked. Cole knew he would be in trouble if he hurt any civilians by showing off, so he denied it.
Princess Celestia giggled and turned around. “Very well then… I guess you can’t stop this attack then!”
The mare whipped around and fired a ray of supernatural magic from her horn straight at Cole. He responded by firing lightning back at the beam. The two were locked in a magic struggle. Sparks surged out of Cole’s hooves and pushed back the magic of the mare. The crowd stood with mouths wide open, some screaming in terror. Finally, the two ran out of juice and stood there, Cole panting more than the mare. All the other ponies watched as Cole could here murmur’s spread through the crowd.
“How did he do that?”
“He’s not a unicorn!”
“He shouldn’t be able to use magic.”
Cole, losing his temper, yelled at the mare while asking “What the hell?! Why would you fire at me? I didn’t harm you!”
The mare caught her breath and said “Because you lied to me. I knew you were special… Just like her.”
Cole stopped his anger to ask who the mare was talking about.
“Over the last few hours." The mare said. "She’s been ruining Canterlot, so I arrested her. Not an easy task when she can control burning hot sludge! She goes by the name of Nix.
Cole’s jaw dropped as he heard her name. Nix was still alive and was causing mayhem here. At least he wasn’t the only conduit here, and if Nix was here, that meant Kuo might be here as well. Things were starting to look like it would be alright, but what was this place? Cole asked this and the mare explained.
“First, my name is Princess Celestia. I raise the sun of Equestria, which is this world; Universe of ponies… Something must have happened in your world that transported you here. Ponies like you who are earth ponies, not unicorns, have been showing up with special magical powers. You’re not the only one, and it’s starting to become a real problem. So far, Nix and you are the only ones I’ve met, but I have heard reports of other just like you two. I believe Nix called them… Conduits was it? Please, come to Canterlot and explain how you got here. Perhaps we can make sense of this crazy ordeal.”
Cole did as the mare said and followed her to some carriage. There was just enough room for two. As they flew to Canterlot, Cole explained what happened in his world and Celestia explained where he was and gave him some insight about the area, location and what kinds of ponies inhabited the universe known as Equestria.

More to come! Next time, Cole meets Luna and has to make a choice.
I have been wanting to do this for some time, but decided not to until now. I just got back from vacation and intend on writing more assuming this does good. It WILL have karmic decisions and a different story lining. The good/bad story will be out line and you will be able to see which one is the bad story and which one is the good story. Hope you enjoyed reading the introduction.
Super powered ponies and fight scenes? I can do that!
Please leave positive comments and constructive criticism. If you feel anything should be changed to a better flow of words, I would appreciate it if you explained how i could do this, and YES IT WAS RUSHED! EVERYTHING I WRITE ALWAYS ESCALATES QUICKLY!!! It's just how I write.
Btw, I don't know if this will end up being completed... I can pretty much see this ending up being totally disliked by people, but then, what am I going to do...
He should be feeling tired, being outside the grid is draining for Cole. He is like a battery, not a generator.
Some details need to be added, And some plot elements were really strange. Part of me didn't like this story.
But I never listen to that part of me. Thumbs up, Fave, and a moustache. .
Continue this story. HeavyMetalCommunist orders you to continue in the name of Mother Russia!
1020620 i explain why this is in later chapters.
I really enjoyed this chapter! you should really keep going
though i do need to address one thing.
i feel that the events were very rushed. Not to discourage you, but you should try to pace yourself, explain things in more detail
other than that i see nothing wrong with the fic, keep up the good work!
p.s. maybe an appearence from the mane 6?
Thanks for ruining infamous 2 before I even got to play it!
I liked it though
1020651 dude, not my fault! its been out for a while, long enough for me to think enough people would have played it to where i would publish this story and not get these comments.
1020666
Mesh doesn't matter I don't even know what any of what I read meant
That doesn't mean it's not ruined
Still doesn't matter
1020687 good to know
I like this just for the concept alone, but the writing drew me in well enough to keep me going. I hope you continue this, it's a better read then most out there, for sure. But then, I'm not one to make demands. Do what feels right!
1020750 i got a good idea of what i'm doing.
1020758
Cool, can't wait to see more.~ Anyway, never played Infamous 2, myself. Beat the first one, had a good time, but my PS3 was fried before I got the chance to play the sequel. Was it good?
1020779 honestly, one of the BEST games i ever played. gets really emotional. i suggest you try and find a way to play it, cause it rocked!
1020787
I am looking into getting a new PS3, one of the slim ones. (Not sure why they call them slim, they look the same to me.) I guess this just gives me a reason to pick one up. Just gotta work up the cash.
Yes. Just. Fucking. Yes.
I think Nix should be Nyx and Quo should be Kuo. Other than that, good story so far, it has potential.
Dammit I was gonna do an infamous crossover! Anyway she spells her name Kuo.
And cole is a little out of charecter, he's not so quick to trust., the pace of the story is a little to fast but other than that FANTASTIC JOB!
1020833 your right about kuo, but not about nix. i googled it. thank you!
1020833
Nix is spelled right,but Quo should be changed to Kuo.
1020897 see above comment, its been changed.
1020889 sorry, but in order to get things down right, i had to mix up the character of cole... plus, when you meet celestia, wouldnt you just wanna trust that cute alicorn, even if she fires magic beams at your ass?
1020902
Heh.What a way to embarrass myself.
Anyways,fav'd and thumbed up.Can't wait for more.
1020913 thanks! this is doing really well... more better than expected actually!
1020805 thats what she said.
Hell no that alicorn could kill u instantly. Anyway you could have easily had the have an argument to where he figured to not provoke a fight to go along with them. HAHA I replied to your reply. 1020912
I am very happy to see a crossover of inFamous and MLP. InFamous 2 is definitely one of my all time favorite games.
A couple of pointers:
1. When expressing thoughts, do not put them in quotation marks; italicize them.
2. Wolfe says that Cole's conscience would never cease to exist. I think you mean his consciousness, since Wolfe is referring to the idea of Cole being somehow invincible. His "conscience" is his his innate ability to differentiate right and wrong (which we all know can disappear rather quickly .)
Keep up the good work!
1021248 in the begining, i intentionally made cole talk to himself. a little derpy, but still. also, thanks for consiousness thingy tip. its been updated.
By reading the comments, it's an infamous 2 crossover. I don't play video games so reading this won't make any sense to me since I've never played it. But, I'll give it a thumbs up because this chapter was good :)
I've never played conduit so I'm confused by one thing only. Who is 'Nix'?
infamous crossover fuck yea
1024239
In infamous 2, you can ally with nix or kuo nix is evil and gives you fire powers kuo is good and gives you ice powers
