inFAMOUS: a new beginning (IC)

Grayson ran down the tunnel as fast as he could, he could hear shouting from the way he had come. Voices mostly just saying that the conduit, aka him, had ran into the tunnel. "Ahhh ****.. Of course they had to follow me down here." He said to him self as he ran faster, coming around a corner and into a wide open space, it was kinda like a square of the old city. But he didn't have time to stop and look around. He had to get the hell out of there do it quickly, the large conduit turned to see if there were any D.U.Ps coming after. But that did not last long as he suddenly smacked right into someone. He landed on top of this person as he was much bigger. "****, sorry you alright?" He asked, quickly rolling off of the person and getting up.

------

Ashley sat on her chair as she waited to hear back from the troops, her head phones on high as her head softly bobbed back and forth. It seemed that she was really into whatever she was listening to, of course the next part was her singing. "Oh I was just a skinny lad Never knew no good from bad, but I knew love before I left my nursery, left alone with big fat fanny, she was such a naughty nanny heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me." She was singing when a solider came in and started to talk. "Ma'am we have two conduits corned in the tunnels, do you want us to take them alive?" He asked, causing her to roll her eyes. "Of course, but if they die they die. I'll go down my self, one is hard enough to handle." She said, before walking past the man. Her headphones still on, blasting Queen.

Sammy was sitting in the alley way when she heard some D.U.Ps coming towards her. She packed up her things and started to rub when someone larger than her smacked right dead into her. She fell to the ground and hit her head off the concrete. She held her head in her hands in pain and squinted. Her vision was a bit blury but by looking up at the blurred character, he was male. She squinted softly.
"Watch it yeah?" She asked as she slowly got up. Her blue hair covering her cute face as she stood to her full 5 foot 3 height. It wasn't an intimidating height, but her powers on the other hand were. She looked up at the man and smiled, once her vision became clear she was face to face with a handsome man who was obviously on a rush. She could feel something.. Different about him. He felt like she did. Like a conduit.

E3A

Able 1: Holding his earpiece in place so as not to miss any instructions, Commander Johnathan James Brooks stood by the manhole leading to the sewers. His teammates were looking at him expectantly. "Wilco. Parameters for use of force? ... Roger. Commencing mission. Out." He looked at his teammates, expression serious. "Alright, fellas. We have two targets, confirmed to be conduits. HQ wants 'em back alive, but lethal force is authorized if primary objective cannot be accomplished. We enter as soon as we're all ready. Questions?"

Bravo 1: Lieutenant Junior Grade Hank-Oscar O'Dewlan looked at his commander with his impassive face and shook his head. He turned to the rest of E3A, and all looked prepped and ready to go. "Doesn't seem like it, commander."

Able 1: "Excellent. Able element on point. Bravo use interval double-time. Let's move."

The team opened the manhole cover, and went inside.

Aaron

They're going to kill each other. The realisation didn't exactly come as a shock to Aaron. Wherever the D.U.P. went, casualties among humans and conduits were sure to follow. The "Ronin", however, wasn't fond of senseless death. And so, he stood up from his perch on the rooftop, jumping down the moment the soldiers closed the manhole cover. His fall was dampened by his power, redirecting most of the kinetic energy upwards in a shockwave and storing the rest as vector force. Then, in a dead dash that'd make Usain Bolt look like a tortoise, he ran to the nearest alternative manhole cover, picked it up, and went down.

If all went well, he could saboutage both parties and prevent a confrontation between them altogether.

Just as Grayson had fully stood up he could hear the boots of D.U.P soldiers rush into the area and aim their guns at Grayson. "Put your hands up and come with us quietly, no one will get hurt."
"Oh no one gets hurt huh? Will maybe I won't be hurt, but i can't say for sure how you guys will fair." The large man smirked as he looked around, he placed his hand on the closest metal object and started to bring it into his body; smirking as he did so. "Come on boys, lets dance." He said as he held his hand up, the molten metal started to shoot at them. The DUP running and hiding behind corners. "Ha! that won't save you either." he said as he threw his grenades, the men looking at them for a second before being impaled by golden spikes.

Grayson turned to the girl and grabbed her arm. "Come on girly, we got to get out of here." He started to pull her along behind him as he ran, the girl probably had no clue what was going on, so he was just going yo dump her at the closest coffee shop.

-------------------------

Ashley walked past the men who seemed to be half dead on the floor, she bent down and placed a hand on one mans neck. "Still alive.. someone get a stretcher down here and bring them out, i'll go find the conduit." She said, starting to walk down the tunnel. "Come out come out where ever you are.. I promise not to hurt you, much."

Aaron

Since his stored energy was more or less at full capacity, Aaron afforded himself a little extra jolt of speed as he ran throughout the maze that was the city sewers. His hyper-rapid steps set out a rattling echo throughout the sewer complex, alerting everyone around to his presence. With his rapid movement he was hoping to map out as much conduit and D.U.P. activity as he could, to steer the two parties away from each other. And sure enough, he passed at least three different teams of soldiers on the way, and thought he saw two people running some distance away. Occasionally, he'd use kinetic infusion on a patch of sewage to crate a splash, to mimic some sort of encounter.

E3A

Dropping into the sewers, Able element kept advancing at a steady pace throughout the complex. Bravo element followed behind, stopping up to scan the enviornment before sprinting to the next location with dominant arcs of fire and cover. Soon, the team all began hearing what sounded like rapid footsteps and crashes throughout the sewer complex.

Able 1: Holding up his hand in a fist to signal the team to halt, J.J. stood and listened to his surroundings. Indeed, those footsteps were fast, and belonged to a single person. A report about a team going down trickled into his earpiece, but he didn't pay much attention. After a brief while, J.J. figured out what the source of the sounds was trying to do.

Able 2: C-dawg was looking at his commander and friend. Whenever he stopped to analyze a situation, new orders would usually be given within four seconds. This time was no exception. J.J. was quite clear in his instruction. "Able two, place a single charge of C-4 on a bearing point in this crossing." C-dawg looked at his commander with an arched eyebrow, but moulded a charge of the plastic explosive and fitted it with a remote detonator, managing to throw it up and make it stick to the ceiling, where it could cause the most massive blockage.

Bravo 2: Of course. Blowing up the ceiling would allow the team to either bury or trap the target whenever it reached this intersection, which J.J. no doubt thought would be soon. And sure enough, after the explosive had been planted, the commander gave the order to split into two assault formations. This usually meant that the leader of each element would take the trooper of the other element, to create two fireteams with one assault and one support trooper. Patcher and J.J. went to the left, while Red-eye and C-dawg went to the right. Finding cover behind a stack of crates, Patcher awaited the blast.

The team was collectively holding its breath as the footsteps came closer. A command was issued over the radio. The ground shook, and the ceiling erupted. Moments later, all four troopers stormed forward, stun grenades flying to disorient their target.

Aaron

Aaron flew. For a brief moment, he couldn't understand why. And everything was moving so slowly. It wasn't before the fireball leapt up towards him, he realized he had been caught in an explosion. His power and his armour shook off a lot of the force, but Aaron was still knocked backwards - and his ears were ringing. Getting up for the shock, suddenly came a blinding light and a horrifyingly loud noise, like the scream of a soul tormented for an instant in a nuclear blast. The shock froze time in his eyes, as the bright flash burned the image of the carnage wreaked by the explosion into his vision. The sound made his ears ring even more, reducing all other noise to the whispers of a long-forgotten dream. But the thing that Aaron thought most odd, was his sense of falling. The sudden noise had hit him right in the balance nerve, and he found it impossible to remain upright. Strangely, his mind was calm. He had been caught in an ambush, this much was plain. His senses were probably overloaded with a stun grenade, traditionally using magnesium as its effect substance. This was of little help to him, however, as he couldn't really move. If only he began moving, his power could bring him far enough away to recover within a few seconds. If he even had that long.

Alex woke up from his nap, listening closely for what woke him up. Then he heard it, fighting, gunfire, screams. Sounds like a gang fight was going down. Alex sighed, at least they were doing it in the tunnels, where no innocents would get hurt.
Then something when boom. Alex sat up from the pile of blankets and pillows he had been sleeping on.
'Was that C4!' Alex thought too himself. 'What the **** are they doing?! If the structural integrity of the tunnels gives out it will cause the buildings above too fall. Looks like even when they go out of their way to avoid innocent casualties they still endanger them.'
Alex stood up, running down the tunnels too where the explosion came from. He knew these tunnels better than almost anyone, he could get too nearly any part of the city within moments with them.
Then again, it wasn't just his memory o the tunnels. Alex turned into pure light, flashing through the tunnels at light speed. He only turned solid when he needed too turn, which was often. As he flew through the tunnels he passed some of the gun fighters, then he realized the situation. This wasn't a turf war, this was a conduit hunt. Which means either a conduit caused that explosive, or some soldiers did. Either way that wasn't a good sign.
Alex reached the site of the explosion quickly, and found it was the latter party responsible. Since the conduit was the victim Alex decided to help him. Alex flashed past the scene, dropping a flash bomb as he passed over the conduit at light speed. The resulting light would blind anyone who was nearby, and while that likely included the conduit, it would also include all of his assailants. Alex then flashed back too the conduit, this time stopping over him.
"Hey, dude, I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can move its time too move. If you can't hear me or move, then you might want to cover your eyes." Alex pointed at the conduit, then covered his eyes. Hopefully the guy got the idea if his ears were still shot from the explosion. Alex then stood up and pulled the iron rod that was his beating stick from his leather jacket.

Sammy's eyes widened once she saw the D.U.P. She ran as fast if not faster than the man who was holding her, she looked about to find any neon and she found some, she took in the energy and blasted away at the soldiers, hitting some right in the chest or at the feet to put them off balance. She got the feeling that this man thought she was useless, but he didn't know her, she would show him how "useless" she could be. After shooting the neon rays at some DUPs, she heard a voice and looked about. It told them to either run or cover their eyes. So being smart, Sammy moved and pulled the man along with her.
"Lets go!" She hollered over the gunshot. She wanted to get away from the DUPs as quick as possible. And the time to get away was now.

Kee/Xeyn · **Posted:** Sat Jun 20, 2015 5:14 am

E3A

The team were about to restrain Aaron, using strips and cuffs to block movement and preparing a syringe to knock him unconcious. Suddenly, there was an unexpected burst of light, causing the team to stumble backwards.

Able 1: What the hell? The flash was blinding, but J.J. knew at once this wasn't a flashbang going off by mistake. The sound was much too muffled, and the flash wasn't the burst of light that signified magnesium hitting oxygenated air. There was little he could do, however. Since the fireteam were using a blitz tactic, they had been caught off guard. The rest of the fireteam would likely be unable to move for a few seconds, or at least fire accurately.

Aaron

Another flash. Without a sound, this time. Aaron knew this was the case, because the shockwave accompanying this flash felt different. His ears were still ringing, but he had been bracing his eyes when the flash came, noticing only because it was bright enough to go through his eyelids. His head was swimming, and the world was a blur, but whomever stood above him was no D.U.P. soldier. Aaron didn't have time to think. Despite the complete lack of hearing and only the most rudimentary of vision, he was beginning to retain his balance. He struggled to get up - stumbled one or two times - but once he took a step, thing got clearer. Two more steps away from the soldiers and things stabilized. His eyes began to focus and his ears began working. If the unknown person was a friend, now was his chance to get away. If they wern't, he was finished. But he tried to run, and if he wasn't stopped, he'd attain high speeds within seconds.

CanadianWolf · **Posted:** Wed Jun 24, 2015 1:07 am

Grayson eyes went wide as he saw Sammy start to shoot neon from her hand, he was about to say something before she grabbed his wrist and started to pull him along. He didn't even need to be pulled once she said lets go, as he started to run along with her. Yet as they ran he cloud hear more footsteps. "**** there is more of them, come on this way!" The large man said, grabbed the girls arm and pulled her down another way. A few soldiers stepped out in front of them, but before they could do anything, Grayson's body turned to iron; he ran through them like they were bowling pins. "Come on girly, no time to waist." He kept running, coming down a tunnel where another man was staggering away from some DUPs. So he guessed he was another one conduit. "Oh come on!!" He yelled out as he grabbed the man around the waist and and putting him over his shoulder, the man was light and easy to carry.

--------

Ash was now running down a tunnel where Grayson was last seen, of course she actually didn't know his real name. The DUP had called him the Silver Knight, as he had some silver and seemed to favor knights. Or thats what they got from his shirt, but the arrival of these new conduits was something else. Never had there been so many reported in the same place, in the same city. Hell even the case of Delson only had three that where really on the other side. Never the less she rushed towards the area they were last seen, using her ability to run faster, she could drops of some kind of metal and neon here and there. So she knew she was getting close, so she yelled out again. "Come now friends, I just want to take care of you." She yelled out.

LadyAsriel · **Posted:** Wed Jun 24, 2015 11:49 am

Sammy rarely ran out of breath. When she was younger and actually went to school, she was a bit of a track star, running faster than any of her classmates. Not because she was a conduit but because she was just genuinely fast. She groaned as the DUPs seemed to be everywhere. "These assholes never quite!" She said as she kept running next to Grayson, who now had another conduit slung over his shoulder. She heard what Ash had said and that caused her to laugh. "Take care of us my ass." She mumbled to herself as she continued to run. While she was running, she would shoot neon beams if a DUP officer got too close to the group. Sammy wondered when they would ever stop running and actually be able to get acquainted to one another.

Jack Spade · **Posted:** Mon Jun 29, 2015 3:56 pm

Alex looked at the four soldiers around him, who where all still stunned from his flash bang. If he could figure out who the leader was he would take him out and leave the rest of the group directionless. Then, he heard the Dup leader calling from another section of the tunnels. She took president over these four.
"Sorry too leave you like this." Alex said before snapping his fingers and flashing away. From the point he snapped another flash bang formed, which detonated when it hit the floor one second later.

As Alex came into view of the Dup leader he recognized her as one of the conduit commanders. That means he didn't have too hold back. Alex flashed too her, exiting his flash as he swung his iron rod at her knees. A blow like that would either rip through a regular mans legs, or simply shatter the bones if he was wearing serious armor. Your average conduit would get away with busted legs and powder knees but that would only put them down for a minutes. This conduit however ha some kind of full body armor, so the blow only broke that and then really bruised her knee. On the bright side it also knocked her clean off her feet and onto her face.
Alex used the spare time it would take for her to compose herself too clean up the debris. Namely the handful of Dup soldiers now point guns at him. Alex flashed away from the commander and into a group of four Dups so he was standing in between them. Before they could react to his new position he grabbed the rifle one of them was holding and used it too shoot its owners feet. Just as the other three started shooting at him he flashed away too another group of Dups, so the bullets intended for him hit the other soldiers instead. This group was a bit more prepared so Alex didn't even bother messing with them and instead just bashed them all in the head.
With all of the soldiers now down for the count Alex prepared himself for the commanders attack.
"Here I am, what's the next step too your plan."

Aaron:

Things were happening fast now. Some metal force pulled Aaron up and began carrying him down the tunnels. In another situation, this would have made Aaron annoyed, but in this case, the movement - being vector force - began to heal him. His sight, balance, and hearing rapidly stabilized, and it wasn't long before he felt fine enough to hop down and move on his own. He easily kept pace with the other two conduits. "I suppose I should say thanks, but - " rounding a corner, several D.U.P. grunts were waiting in ambush. How many of these people are there!? Utilizing his speed-based conduit powers, Aaron drew his sword and attacked before any of the other two could make a move. He attacked with the blunt side of his sword, hitting specific pressure points with pinpoint accuracy to prevent casualties. It all happened in one fluid motion, so well-practised it looked like the technique was tailored to the situation. At this point, Aaron no longer cared about avoiding conflict - they were well past that point. All he wanted to do now was get away.

E3A:

Finally recuperating from the unexpected flash and impact, the team was staggering as their quarry was whisked away. There was still a conduit nearby, but being slightly disoriented, the team didn't get a bead on his location before he spoke. "Sorry to leave you like this," he said, and snapped his fingers.

Bravo 1: Red-eye had always been good at keeping control of otherwise impossible situations, almost as good as J.J. was. However, in this event, Red-eye had been slightly further away due to his role as a sniper, and thus was the one with the most presence of mind. He heard a snap and acted instictively. "Brace!"

The team all managed to cover their ears and avert their eyes. This flashbang certainly didn't help their recovery, but they didn't get any more disoriented. By the time the conduit had left their arc of fire, they had all mostly recovered.

Able 1: "Good call, Red-eye. By the sound of it, the chief is in danger. Double-time, guys! Her safety takes presedence!" And thus, with his team in tow, J.J. finally got back on the move, this time to assist the D.U.P. leader.
With lethal force.

Skyler jumped up to the next roof, pulling herself up. She wasted no time running, jumping down with an unnecessary flip. She loved this, just free running. Well, actuallly she was looking for some Dups to harrass. But all things in good time. She jumped to the next wall and began hopping back and forth between two close buildings,going down. Shhe landed in an alley and started running, noticing the faint yells that seemed like they were coming from a nearby man hole. A second later, there was a loud bang and the ground shook violently enough to knock Skye down. "What the HELL!" She shouted. She jumped up and growled, brushing off her jacket. She saw a couple normals, who had just pulled up in a nice car, staring at her. "What are YOU looking at?! Yiu didnt just feel a damn explosion?!" She yelled at them. They both immediatly rolled up their windows. Skye took off in the direction she thought the noises were going. If the D.U.P was involved, she wanted to be there. Though if they WERE involved, she would be stupid dropping in behind them, especially in a small area with not smoke...though there might be plenty now with the bomb that just went off. She continued following te noise, stopping at a manhole every once in a while to hear if she was still following. She wondered if the one being chased was a local or a ppor lost conduit.

CanadianWolf · **Posted:** Fri Jul 10, 2015 2:55 am

Grayson only nodded when the man got off his shoulder and said something of a thanks. Then he easily blasted through a few D.U.Ps and the large man just laughed softly. "Come on, follow me." He said, his body still covered in iron as he ran, pushing a few D.U.P.s out of his way as they stepped in front, but it seemed after they got past that last group there were no more, so the large man stopped and turned, seeing the new girl had ran off somewhere. He sighed and waited to see if that new guy would come, maybe the two could talk.

Ashley let out a soft grunt when she hit the ground, but quickly rolled to her side and then got to ther feet. Only to see the conduit who attacked her, he was a bit cocky. But then meant this was only to get more fun, so the woman took her ear buds out and smiled. "The first step is to kick your ass and take you in." She gave him a smirk and got ready. A sword slowly starting to form in her hand, it was crystal clear glass. Near perfect Infact.

Once formed, the sword was standing at a impressive six feet long. So clearly this woman would have the reach, but it was hard to tell just how tough the glass was.

The woman looked at the man and give him a wink. "You know, If you were not on the other side. I might have just asked for your number." She teased him, before suddenly rushing forward. Rising the sword and bring it down towards him.

Kee/Xeyn · **Posted:** Mon Jul 13, 2015 10:57 am

Aaron

Aaron stuck by the big metal-powered conduit, running right behind so he could dash ahead for non-lethal takedowns if he felt like the big man would get violent. The next group were thrown out of the way like bowling pins, however, and as such Aaron did not need to intervene. It would appear as if they were clear for the time being, and as the big guy stopped, Aaron jogged up next to him, looking a little dissatisfied. All in all, with his modern stylish haircut and clean-shaven face, his stern expression and samurai armour looked slightly comical. His tone was anything but that, however. "Just so we're on the same page, this alliance is one of convenience. While I appreciate the rescue, we are not friends. Are we clear?"

E3A

Able 1: Leading his team to his chief, J.J. spoke several commands. He estimated he had sixteen seconds to instruct his team. "We'll attempt to put Tango between us and Queen. Use overlapping scissor fire if Tango goes Oscar Mike. Go infared to migitate flash effect. C-dog, deploy smoke on my mark. Got it?"

Able 2: "Wilco."

Bravo 1: "Wilco."

Bravo 2: "Wilco."

The team were now roughly five seconds away from the corner that would lead them to the fight between the D.U.P. leader and the flash conduit. A command were spoken over the radio.

Able 1: "Deploy smoke, go IR!"

Able 2: C-dawg took a smoke grenade from its holder and pulled the pin with his mouth before throwing it at the corner to obscure their entry. From release, it took two minutes for the grenade to start belching smoke.

The team came in, infared night-vision goggles humming, two seconds later, just as the smoke obscured their entry. Their formation a flawless firing line.

Jack Spade · **Posted:** Sat Jul 18, 2015 8:07 am

Alex watched the woman as she got back on her feet. That sword of hers is impressive, and if it is as hard as her armor it will stand too his attacks. However, Alex had the speed advantage.
As she brought her sword down Alex flashed too the right, moving clean of the swords path. He then swung at the back of her head.
"I'd give you my number, if you weren't someone's dog."

*****

Ashley smiled as the boy went around the sword and to her back, but with little time to do anything she had to choose what to do now. So she encased her head in the bullet proof glass, the hit would make her head ring, but no real damage would be done to her.

When the pipe hit the back of her head, two things happened. First the pipe bent, the second was that the glass around the girls head broke. Ashley smirked and quickly swung the sword backwords to the boy. "If you are going to talk, then at least make this fight fun." She said.

*****

Alex cursed as his pipe bent on the chicks helmet, then barely ducked out of the way of her sword. He flashed out of range of her blade and took stock of the situation.
His weapon was busted, her armor was way too thick for him too punch through, and then those soldiers guys from before seemed too have come back and had a smoke bomb down. Time too get out and recover, and he had a great idea where too do that. He flashed past the soldier squad, stopping briefly next too the explosives expert and pulling a pin out of a flash bang on his belt. He traveled through the tunnels until he reached the other free conduits. He stopped next too the metal guy and put his hands into a pleading position.
"I really need a steel rebar or something, my old beating stick busted fighting the DUP leader."

TheMadAce · **Posted:** Wed Jul 22, 2015 12:45 am

Skye ran for a good quarter mile, still checking to make sure was still with the group below. When she got to a main intersection, she stopped completely. She knelt down and pressed her ear to the manhole. A few people stared at her but Skye couldnt have cared less. Her heart was pumping from the excitment. She was really itching to get in the way of some Dupes. Her face scrunched up when she noticed the muffled sounds were very faint. She realized she ran to far and doubled back till she heard the yelling again. She looked around and noticed an opening ti the pipes a few yards away. "Thatll work" she said to herself and darted for the opening. She dropped down with a slight splash and began to head towards what she though was the D.U.P. She had to stop at a few intersected pipes to listen but finally found the enemy. Well, she assumed it was the enemy. Smoke covered the entire area. Smoke! Skyler got even more excited. She stuck her hand out and, as if her fingers were straes, smoke rushed towards her entering her body. She let out a very audible laugh. " Hey Dupes, not your usual hangout. Why the change in scenery?" Skye was well known among some of the D.U.P but whether anyone here knew her she didnt know. If they didnt, they were going to. Skye raised her hand and shot a sulfur bomb towards the group. Not a very big one as it was a small area and she didnt want any backlash from her own attack.
