Energy
Cole and princess Celestia arrived at the Canterlot city and Cole realized he wasn’t on the grid, so why was he not drained yet?
“Uh… Princess.” He began to ask. “Look, I noticed there are no electric currents like light poles in this city... In order to survive, I need electricity… So, why do I feel like I’m still healthy?”
Princess Celestia put her hoof to her lip to think. “Well… It could be all the magic in this world.”
Cole stared at the mare with eyes that said Do you really expect me to believe that crap?
Princess Celestia explained in a better tone of voice. “Magic flows freely in this world. Unicorns absorb magic and use it with their horns. You could be absorbing the same magic and converting it into electricity! That would make the most sense.”
Cole wasn’t one to believe in something like magic, but then again, if he has a permanent grid, things become easier. A constant flow of energy is something that could really be used to his advantage. As they reached the palace gates, princess Celestia told Cole to follow her to the dungeon so he could see his friend.
“It is tragic.” Princess Celestia said as she led the way. “Your world’s science is its magic, and our magic is our science. The thought of you and your friends coming here frightens me. If their anything like Nix, this will be horrible.”
Cole assured the princess that some conduits were bad, and some were good. The two reached the Nix's cell. It was protected by a force field of pink and purple light surrounding all corners of all the walls. Nix looked way different than her normal human state. She had dreadlocks and a red coat. Black freckles could be seen on her cheeks and her eyes were the same color, but still unforgiving. When Nix saw Cole, she ran up the shield of magic aura saying “Cole, baby! What in the world are you doing here? Last I saw you, we were fighting the beast… Wait, and did we get him? Tell me we whooped his ass. If he’s still alive I will destroy him.”
Cole could tell Nix was still upset about the whole ordeal and told her to relax. “I understand he killed your… uh… babies… but, seriously, he’s dead. I’m confident in that. Now then, how did you survive?”
Nix smiled and told her story. “I was sitting on a skyscraper about three blocks down from the beast. My body was scorched and I was dying… But then, I saw a bright light burst out of nowhere… After that… I awoke in this city alley way… I uh, kinda lost my temper when I saw what I looked like. I rampaged through the town for a bit and got arrested shortly after. So, here I am.”
Cole turned to the princess to ask if there were any casualties.
“Only a few hurt ponies with burns, but no deaths, thank goodness.”
Cole looked at Nix with an angry look planted in his face. “What were you thinking?” He said. “Hurting others… I thought you had changed.”
Nix giggled and said “Oh, please. These ponies mean nothing, just like the people back home! You think because I took down the beast with your ass that means I turned over a new leaf? Hell no! I did that because he killed my babies, not for the people; couldn’t care less about those bitches!”
Cole rolled his eyes as a unicorn guard came around the corner asking for the princess's help. The princess left, leaving Cole here alone with Nix. He looked at the red pony and said “This is beyond messed up. If you want to live in this world, you’re going to have to cooperate. There are unicorn out there that have just as much power as we do. You already set a bad name for conduits. More of our kind is showing up around this world and we need to make it clear to the princess that we aren’t a threat!”
Nix, still in her pool of self-arrogance, said “Why don’t… You break me out! We can start an army, you and me.”
Cole interjected by saying “Or, I can ask the princess to let you free, which I think she will; so long as you promise to never hurt another pony again.”
Nix sat and looked at her hoofs. “I’ll let you decide.”
Cole pondered his choices.
(On one hand, I can talk to the princess and try to convince her to let Nix go…)
(Or I could just let her go and say she broke out, and then does as she says and form an army…)
1020947 well, i'll see about making it harder for cole to trust ponies.
That was fast. You still have my attention, friend. But... What's with the choices? Is this going to be done adventure book style?
I take the second choice.
1021051 its based on infamous the game. i plan on making the reader have the ability to choose which route they take, just like in the game. this first choice will have two new chapters follow it. in the title, it will say weather its the good choice or if its the evil choice. the two choices in the story will be linked to the next chapter. if this confuses you, then sorry, but you'll understand.
p.s. doing much better then i thought it would.
1021083
Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing it up. Let's see where this leads us, shall we?~
1021081 read comment above.
1021090 oh, we shall!
1021091
Doh, I missed. Well, let's just see where this story will take us. No brakes on this train.
1021108 well... i'm going to bed now, so this may not be updated for a while, plus, keep in mind, i have two chapters to write for each of the choices. so it may be a while until this is updated, sorry.
1021123
Alright, good night and have a good morning when you wake up.
1021135 dawww... thanks!
1021138
Your welcome.

I'm out.

1021150 ... rock on!
This could get very difficult to write if every choice branches off into two chapters(16 chapters at 4 choices), you will get bogged down very fast, try to keep the choices at a minimum. Other than that, I like it so far.
1021332 i have a plan and intend on possibly making the story branch off not only on choices by=ut at certain points. like if you've been choosing the good choices so far, id link you to the good story and vise versa!
Hmm, what to say? Oh I know! Please continue.
1021424 nobody is disliking this so far... sure, why the hell not?
1021354
Ah, so its really only two stories, one is the paragon Cole, the other is the renegade Cole.
1021455 technically... yes and no. this story will be hard to write, but i think i can make it work!
1021274
Oh. I see that now. Good call, actually, since he does have a habit of doing that.
1021515
I choose the paragon option.
In any game with two choices of good or evil I always start and end with evil! But ti's is pony universe so I go with Good throughout the series!
1021655>>1021679 im not pressured at all!
1021724 daw... you should try out infamous. it was a really good game... at least to me!
I vote for the good choice!
1021679
Goku: Vegeeeeta, that wasn't very paragon.
Vegeta: -spits- Renegade for life.
*beginnings

1022100
Nappa: I think you rage broke Vegita.
Vegita: SHUT UP NAPPA!
I go for the good choice.
Nopony likes to be relentlessly rampaged by Conduits.
