Attack on MacGrath
Hello: this idea is what kept me from updating for so long, I recently started to watch Attack on Titan and am thoroughly impressed by it. And as I did that, I also started to play Infamous 2 once again in anticipation of Infamous Second Son. So I got to thinking "what if Cole ended up in the Attack on Titan world" and my mind exploded with how awesome that idea was. I don't know if this will go past one chapter but I'd like it to, writing this gave me that feeling you get when you write a story that you know you love yourself, anyway, I hope you enjoy.
This was it, his final moment, holding the device in his hands that would save the world. He looked towards the Beast, and then returned his gaze to the glowing orb device within his hands, the electricity sparking from seemingly random places on the device. It was fully charged and ready to be used, however something prevented the man from using the device.
The problem was that he felt great… better than great, he had never felt this great before in his life, all of the power at his disposal gave him pause in his use of the device, he looked back up to the Beast, it being much closer than before but the man didn't become worried or scared or even angry. He felt accomplished.
Smirking devilishly Cole MacGrath attached the ball-like device to his belt and jumped from the church tower, pushing electricity through his arms to create thrusters for his arms, making him glide through the air, landing on-top of the statue in the courtyard, Cole raised his arms into the air feeling empowered from the device, Cole unleashed his frightening powers, calling forth thunder from the sky to strike down his enemy.
The Beast roared in pain as the arching electricity from the sky coursed through its body, causing it to collapse to the ground in agony.
Cole felt giddy as he saw the Beast in pain, he felt satisfaction from the pained look on its face. This was for all of the people that the Beast killed, for all of the people in Empire city, for all of the people in New Marais.
For all of the people who pictured him as their hero and he gladly accepted the role, growing stronger from all of the people behind him in his cause, he had failed them all, he wasn't strong enough to protect them and it was all of his fault.
But now…
Now, he had the Beast exactly where he wanted it to be, squirming in absolute agony as he pumped more of his infinite supply of electricity through his arms to increase the power in the thunder, striking down upon his opponent, he was glad to hear the Beast's roars of pain increase in volume as he did this.
Cole was going to savour this, he was going to pay the Beast back for all of those innocent people that it had killed, he was going to destroy the Beast ultimately and completely, leaving nothing but a speck of its skin and when it had regenerated, he was going to do it all over again.
Although he was going to if the Device on his belt didn't suddenly let out a rather loud spark and a whimper.
Suddenly, the infinite power that he had felt beforehand seemed to be leaving him drastically, Cole realised that the device was starting to lose its charge and one thing was running through Cole's head at that moment.
"Aww hell".
Cole retracted his arms from the air in an attempt to conserve the energy in the device and himself. If the device was losing power than he had to use it quickly or risk losing the chance to defeat the Beast at all.
Thankfully, all of the electricity that he had struck the Beast with had caused the Beast to be incredibly disorientated. So, not wasting a second Cole hopped from the statue and landed into a crouch onto the ground, without even standing upright, he shot off towards the fallen Beast to finish this once and for all.
Once he reached his fallen foe, Cole pushed ice towards his feet and into the ground, a tower of Ice shot from the ground and sent Cole into the air above the Beast. Once he was above the Beast's stomach Cole unlatched the device from his belt and held it between his hands for the last time. As he was about to activate the device, thoughts of all of his precious people entered his mind, his late girlfriend; Trish, his best friend Zeke whose life depended on the use of this device.
Nix; the brave, misunderstood conduit who gained his upmost respect with how hard her life was.
And finally, Kuo; the woman whose life was turned up-side-down when she was given the powers of Ice and thought of herself as a monster, she was also a woman who was afraid to die, which explained why she had attempted to prevent the charging of the device, because of the fact that it would cause the deaths of all of the conduits within the world, even those who hadn't activated their hidden gene would die to this, but if the device wasn't activated then everyone in the world who didn't possess the gene would die and there was a lot more that didn't have the gene than those that did. So Cole had no choice but to save them all, to be the hero that everyone looked to him as, he was finally able to be what everyone saw him as.
"D-do it" Cole's ears picked up that whimper and once he had landed on the Beast's stomach, he craned his neck to the side to see Kuo, leaning against the statue, blood seeping from her many wounds from trying to stop Cole and Nix charging the device.
"Kuo!" Cole stated as he looked at her in worry.
"D-do it Cole… I-I'm sorry, I-I was so scared" Kuo was in hysterics, her eyes letting loose a stream of tears.
"Kuo" Cole said quietly, he so badly wished that he could comfort her, but he couldn't risk letting the Beast get back up.
"DO IT" Kuo shouted and Cole felt determination enter his body as he activated the device without second thought, a sphere of electricity surrounded him, and Cole felt pain as the device literally destroyed each of his atoms so that it could in return destroy every other conduits atoms.
Through his pain, Cole managed to open his eyes that he didn't noticed closed from pain, he gasped to see the Beast raise it's right hand and swing it towards him.
The Beast's appendage struck the sphere and a massive explosion of light appeared.
Cole was floating, he didn't know how, all he knew was that he was indeed floating. Cole didn't know where he was and he didn't care, he felt at peace, no pain, no worry, nothing. It felt good.
However everyone knows that all good things must come to an end and that happened to Cole when he suddenly felt a huge amount of wind blow past him, Cole opened his eyes and panic struck him as he saw the ground below, only there was a problem with the ground.
It was far away at the moment and that told Cole one thing.
"This is gonna' hurt".
With that thought, Cole continued to plummet towards what looked like a city surrounded by a wall of some kind.
Hoping to alleviate the most pain possible, he felt for his electricity and was glad to feel the shocking current answer his call for aid as his arms exploded electricity, doing so caused his body to right itself and slow his dissent.
However that's all it did and Cole was annoyed to find that he was still falling rather quickly.
"Still gonna' sting like a bitch".
Accepting his fate Cole grumbled as he at least tried to avoid any roofs of buildings, he didn't want to go through them.
"That'd be one hell of a surprise".
….
….
…
"Been falling for a while now…"
…
…
…
"Seriously? How high up am I?"
….
"Okay, where is the ground to this place?"
…
"Oh! There it is"
(BOOM)
Cole felt his body hit the ground and then he absolutely felt the body create the crater he found himself in.
Cole lied in that crater for a few minutes, waiting for the feeling to return to his legs and thanked his lucky stars that his conduit gene strengthened his bones and muscles to an absolutely ridiculous level. The feeling had started to return to his legs and he was glad to notice that he only felt a very strong sense of pins and needles rather than an incredible amount of pain.
Groaning, Cole picked himself up, dusting his clothes off before jumping out of the crater his body had made. Expecting to see something that would indicate where he was, he was disappointed to see nothing but old-looking clunked together.
Cole looked around him and had to take a step back when he saw a huge wall surrounding the city.
"Actually huge doesn't give it justice… its fricken' humongous".
Before Cole could adjust himself anymore to where he was, he heard a loud (Crack) his gaze turned towards where he heard the noise and he had to take a step back at what he saw, a massive head peering over the wall.
"Peering over the wall… that thing must be huge".
Before Cole could once again adjust himself a strong rush of wind struck him and then rocks followed it as Cole saw that the wall had a hole in it at the bottom.
"What the hell?" he muttered as he walked towards where the hole was, it was quite a distance from him, adding to the fact that he also had to walk around all of the running people heading the other way to him, some screaming frantically whilst others just seemed to be in a blind panic. Why, Cole had no idea, the big guy had disappeared and there was only a hole in the… Cole stopped dead in his tracks.
"What the flying fu…?"
Cole's mind stopped dead as he saw something terrifying stumble through the hole in the wall, it was…
It was…
It was…
A giant monster that closely resembled a human being and at the same time didn't.
"At least there's only one".
More of those giant humanoid monsters had followed in through after the first one.
"I hate my life right now".
Cole looked to the closest roof-top and created an ice-pillar below himself, allowing him to grab the ledge of the roof and heave himself upwards onto the building.
Cole attempted to assess the situation calmly but that idea flew straight out the window when he saw one of the monsters on the street, its massive head reaching above the building he was on, the monster was meandering towards a destroyed house but it wasn't the monster that grabbed his attention, it was the two kids at the destroyed house attempting to help someone from under the rubble.
Cole's innate sense of right and wrong caused him to run towards the edge of the building he was on and leap from its ledge, activating his thrusters, Cole glided his way towards the closest house, leading to the collapsed house.
Before he could make it to the house a blond haired man had landed next to the kids and some words were spoken if Cole would have guessed. The man then ran towards the monster, drawing a sword from his strange sheath. Cole snorted.
"Yea, good-luck using a sword on a monster that's at least ten-times your size".
Although Cole had to admit that it was brave of the man to do what he was doing… well it was brave until the mad decided to turn tail and run, picking up the kids as he passed by the collapsed house, leaving the poor woman underneath the rubble.
"That bastard".
Rage grew in Cole's body as the monster had reached the house and began to lower its hand towards the woman. He had no time to waste, he needed to speed up.
"Please make it, I'm almost there, just a bit longer".
Eren didn't understand, why they were running away when his mother was so close, they needed to turn back, and they needed to save her.
Bashing his tiny fists onto the man's back, he pleaded, tears streaming from his eyes for the man to turn around and help his mother from the Titan.
Eren's eyes widened in fear as the titan reached down and picked up his mother.
"NO. NO. NO. NO. NO, we have to go back, we need to save her… please somebody save her!"
The Titan now had his mother in its hand and was raising her up towards its mouth. His mother screamed in absolute terror as the Titan gazed sickeningly at her. It had opened its mouth.
Eren's mouth opened in terror and his mouth let out a terrified scream.
"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM".
(ZOOM)
Everything froze as the man carrying Eren and Mikasa stopped and lowered the kids to the floor and turned around fully to see what had happened. His jaw hit the floor at what he saw.
Cole swore as he saw the monster pick up the woman and became even more enraged once he saw it raise her to its open mouth.
Gathering electricity into his left arm, he shot out an electric tether that connected to the monsters forehead. The sudden pull towards the monster was welcomed to Cole who began to charge his right clenched fist with electrical energy.
He heard the kid scream and felt his determination at saving this woman rise exponentially. The tether worked as intended as he reached the monster and unleashed all of his gathered electrical energy by implanting his right fist into the monsters face, he expected the monster to stagger giving him time to grab the woman and run away with the other three, what he didn't expect was to punch the monsters head clean off, sending it flying into an adjacent building across the street.
Cole quickly saved the woman from falling to her death and landed in a crouch.
Cole shared the same sentiment as everyone else who saw what he did and he felt his own jaw hit the floor as the monsters headless body fell to the floor.
"What the fu…?"
Cole shook his head as he looked towards the woman in his arms, he frowned, from the looks of her legs, she wouldn't be walking anymore.
Holding the woman tighter than before, Cole ran towards where the three other people were.
Once he reached them, he felt the two kids hug his legs tightly.
"Tha-thank-you so- so much" the boy mumbled, tears falling from his eyes as the girl just nodded along with the other child. Cole nodded his head and looked towards the man whose attention was still on the dead monster.
Cole cleared his throat causing the man to jump and pay attention to Cole "where's safety?" Cole asked simply, the man seemed to realise that they were still in danger and picked up the kids once again and ran in the opposite way of the dead monster, motioning for Cole to follow him to safety.
They ran for what felt like 10 minutes before they came up too another huge gate implanted within the massive wall.
They reached the gate and ran through, the man in-front was stopped by another man wearing the same uniform.
"Report" the new man demanded.
"I think these are the last survivor's sir, but we need to hurry, the Titans are heading this way as we speak".
Cole picked up the word "Titan" and assumed that this was the name of these humanoid monsters.
A roar stopped the conversation as another Titan rounded the comer of a building and stood still, almost taunting the people. Although something was very different with this Titan. It was metal.
Before anything could be said, the new man had ushered Cole and the kids through the Gate, the unconscious woman still held in Cole's arms.
"Head for the boats" ordered the man as he kept the blond haired man behind to most likely order him to defend the gate.
The three of them reached the boats, being the lasts ones to get to the boats, the boats had actually started to leave, running faster Cole, reached the edge of the ground and passed the woman to a man reaching out, he grabbed the woman and helped her onto the boat, next came the kids as Cole picked each of them up and threw them across the widening gap between the boat and land, the kids were caught by a man and a woman and heaved onto the boat.
Cole was about to jump across to the boat and escape as well but heard screams from behind him, turning around, he saw the gate being blown open as the metal Titan from before had broken through the gate.
"MR! QUICKLY, JUMP" shouted the boy that he had saved.
Cole sighed as the metal Titan was still attempting to gain its bearings from running through concrete.
Raising his voice "Kid what are you and your sister's names?"
"EREN AND MIKASA" was the boys reply.
"My names Cole MacGrath! I'll see you later kid!" with that Cole ran towards the metal Titan, feeling electricity flow through his body, empowering him.
"WAIT, MR. DON'T GO" Cole ignored that scream, if he didn't lure away the Titan then chances are it would jump after one of the ships and kill everyone on-board.
Cole sighed as his eyes glowed a deep blue and electricity cackled around his arms. He couldn't let the chance of the Titan jumping after ship happen, his heroic senses forbade it.
He growled as he fired a huge electric rocket towards the Titan's face and was happy to see it stagger back and put its attention on Cole.
At that moment Cole realised that he may have made a big mistake as he ran in between the Titan's legs and back into the city.
Running back into the city, Cole was less than pleased to see loads of Titan's stumbling about the ruined city and the metal Titan hot on his trail.
"Sometimes… I hate how heroic I am".
Then Cole ran, he had to escape and hide, then come back and find out all he could about this place. Because there was one thing that Cole knew for sure…
"This is sure as hell not New Marais".
