I don't own Halo or InFamous, but I can dream, right?
"I don't know about this, brother," Zeke said, shaking his head as Cole held up a blast core that they had stumbled upon.
"Look, Zeke, what can this hurt?" Cole asked, tossing the blast core back and forth between his hands.
"We've already got the six cores we needed, man," Zeke said, coughing. "And there's a chance we won't have enough time to activate the anti-ray…thingamajig. Those things always knock you out cold."
"Look, Zeke, trust me," Cole said. He turned to Nix, who was pacing back and forth, impatient to get back at John for what he had done to her 'babies'. "Nix, can you keep guard with Zeke, just in case?"
"Yeah, yeah, man," Nix said. "No need to worry with Nix around. More power, more fun, man."
"See, Nix agrees," Cole said. Zeke shook his head.
"Yeah, well, no offense, but Nix is the last person I want to listen to," Zeke said.
"Just…trust me, alright," Cole said. "I've got this." He gripped the blast core, looking at the two. "Alright, here goes nothing…" He took a breath and began to charge the blast core.
"Cole, we got a problem!" Zeke yelped, pointing at the ray field inhibitor on Cole's belt. "That thing's starting up!"
"Damn," Nix said. "Cole, man, you've gotta stop."
"I…can't!" Cole bit out. "Too…much energy goin'!" There was an explosion of energy, from both the blast core and the ray field inhibitor. The blast knocked Nix back, who had shielded her eyes. When she could see again, Cole and Zeke were gone. But they had left a gift behind them. The ray field inhibitor was lying in the spot the two had been standing, completely burnt out. Nix walked towards it, shaking her head.
"No…no, no, no!" she shouted, kicking the sphere off of the building rooftop. She went to the edge, looking out over the city. She heard a commotion and decided to check it out, surprised at the sight that greeted her.
"Oh, god, my head," Cole groaned, waking up. He looked at his surroundings, a grassy field. He saw Zeke laying beside him and gave him a soft nudge with his foot. "Zeke. Yo, Zeke. Wake up."
"Uhn…what happened?" Zeke asked, holding his head.
"Dunno," Cole said. "But we ain't in New Marais anymore."
"Uh, brother," Zeke said, staring at the sky. "I'm not even sure we're on Earth anymore."
"What do you mean?" Cole asked. Zeke pointed.
"Now, I'm no astronomy buff, but I'm pretty sure that Earth didn't have a moon and a planet hangin' in the same sky," Zeke said. Cole looked up and his jaw dropped.
"No…fucking…way," Cole said. "Now I really wanna know what the fuck happened."
"Cole…would now be a bad time to mention that those folks are in trouble?" Zeke asked. Cole looked at where Zeke was looking to see what he could only describe as aliens shooting at a house. There were about five small aliens with cones on their backs, masks on their faces, holding pistol like weapons, while two larger aliens with elongated necks, mandible-like mouths, and three fingered hands giving orders.
"Actually, it's a perfect time," Cole grinned. "Because I'm feelin' something thanks to that blast core."
"You have fun with that," Zeke said, looking around and picking up his pistol. "I'll try and find some info from the other people around here. If there are any others around."
"You've gotta be kidding me," Carter said, his hand slamming into the wall of the Pelican, pulling his armored hand out of the dent. "Hey, turn this bird around!" he said into his radio, feeling the Pelican shift.
"What's going on, Carter?" Kat asked.
"Distress call," Carter replied. "Alright, Noble Team, looks like we're gonna be seeing a little more action than planned."
"Alright," Emile said, smiling beneath his helmet. "More covies?"
"What else would it be?" Jun asked, cradling his sniper rifle.
"And I was looking forward to relaxing at base," Jorge sighed. Emile was about to reply, when a shockwave rocked the Pelican. They all looked out to see a mushroom cloud in the distance. The same direction they were headed in.
"Oh, shit," Carter muttered under his breath. "We might be too late." They arrived at the site of the explosion, seeing covenant bodies everywhere. About half a mile away, there stood houses, now slightly leaning away from the center of the blast. "Alright, spread out, see if you can find anything."
"Cole!" a voice yelled. They all turned to see a heavyset man running towards the center of the blast. His hair was slicked, the sun glinting off of his sunglasses. His clothes looked out of date. By a couple centuries. In fact, more than a couple centuries. He stopped when he saw the Spartans with weapons.
Zeke stopped upon seeing five heavily armored figures standing on the other side of the blast site. He also noticed their weaponry. "Uh…hi there," he said. He brought his pistol up as the man in green armor brought a sniper rifle up. "Hey, now. Don't do anything you're gonna regret." He wasn't sure, but he thought he heard one of the figures snort at that comment. "I'm just lookin' for my friend. He was here when the explosion happened. Human. Short cut hair, scar under his right eye."
"Put the weapon down," the silverish blue armored figure said. "Jun, stand down." The green armored man, who Zeke now knew was named Jun, lowered his weapon. Zeke responded by lowering his pistol and then sauntered casually past the bodies.
"Alright, that's a start," Zeke said, looking between the figures. "Name's Zeke."
"Spartan 259, Carter," the silver blue armor said. "You said you were looking for your friend?"
"Yeah. Cole. Like I said, short cut hair, scar under his right eye. Hard to miss among this mess."
"Well, we'll offer assistance, but I doubt he's still alive after a blast like that," the darker blue armored figure said. Zeke was surprised to recognize the voice as female. "Call me Kat," she added.
"Alright, team, spread out," Carter said. The others did so, the biggest one kicking a body.
"Hey, Carter," he said.
"Got something, Jorge?"
"Yeah. Male human, matches Zeke's description." He bent down, carefully picking Cole up. "And still breathing, sir. Still conscious, by the looks of it."
"Zeke," Cole mumbled.
"I'll be damned," Carter said.
"Hey, you guys got anything with a lot of juice in it? Maybe a couple of car batteries?" Zeke asked.
"What for?" Kat asked.
"Yes or no?"
"Yes," Kat sighed.
"Mind takin' us to it?" Jorge looked at Carter, who nodded.
"This way," Jorge said. He slung Cole over his back, walking towards the Pelican. Zeke followed behind, whistling.
"Nice plane," he said. "Hey, Cole. Can you hear me?" Cole just nodded, too weak to talk. "Alright, buddy, we got a nice big ol' plane here. Can you see it?" Again, a nod. "Then get to it. Uh, Jorge, was it? You might wanna set Cole down now." Jorge shrugged, putting Cole down, helping him to balance on his feet. Cole then did something that shocked Jorge. Electricity began to arc from the Pelican to Cole, dancing around his body, healing cuts, gashes, and bruises, while Cole himself seemed to become more animated.
"Oh, so much better," Cole breathed.
"You…how did you…" Jorge couldn't quite finish his sentences. "Carter, you better get over here!" Jorge yelled, while Cole stretched his arms.
"Damn, I did not think that would happen," Cole said.
"What?" Zeke asked.
"Hit some barrels in that fight. Lit up whatever was in 'em."
"That explains the explosion," Zeke mused.
"What's going on, Jorge?" Carter asked, the rest of Noble Team behind him.
"You…I…you just have to see it for yourself," Jorge said. "Hey, kid. Do that thing again."
"What? Oh…well, I'll need to charge this thing first," Cole said, pointing at the Pelican.
"Jorge, what the hell are you two talking about?" Kat asked.
"He…electricity…the Pelican is…" Jorge held his head.
"Carter," the radio in Carter's voice squawked. "What the hell is going on? I just lost all power in my bird. The fuck are you guys doing back there?"
"What do you mean you're out of power?" Carter asked.
"My bad," Cole said, rubbing the back of his head. "I'll charge it." He walked to the front of the Pelican, then walked back. "Um…where's the engine at?"
"Uh, this way," Jun said, leading the way. He was curious about how Cole was going to charge the Pelican, as was the rest of Noble Team, except for Jorge. He popped the panel, pointing. "There ya go."
"Thanks," Cole said, grabbing the side of the opening and then the battery. He then looked over his shoulder at Jun. "Uh, you might wanna stand back." Jun took a few steps back and Cole turned his attention back to the batteries, realizing there was more than one, all connected, all very big. "Alright." Cole began to pump electricity through his body, the electricity making its way into the batteries, while Noble Team watched, stunned. Cole then let go after a bit and turned around to see weapons trained on him, while the man with the skull helmet had his knife at Zeke's throat.
"Emile, please don't kill him," Carter said. "He's still a civilian."
"Yeah, yeah," the figure, Emile, said.
"You've got some explaining, buddy," Kat said, while Cole sighed.
"Just once, could I go somewhere without having guns pointed at me?" he asked. "Is that too much to ask?" he yelled up into the sky.
Okay, so, I'm pretty sure this is the first Infamous/Halo crossover on . And it takes place during Reach. Let me know what you think. Also, the title does need work and this story might not even be continued. It depends on reader reaction.
