[OST – Prototype 2 – Murder your Maker]

It was undecided sadly. As the Thermobaric on the side tried to move away, only to end up between the line of sight of the two. The path of the freezing wind was blocked by the giant tank. And the Critical Pain Devastator was also halted.

So the Thermobaric Tank was subjected to the two devastating attacks. That didn't do well. Oh poor awesome vehicle. The crew inside that was fated to enjoy its godly weapon would instead be treated to the front of two cold and painful attacks.

The Thermobaric tank froze first before the chunk of flesh took it out. The vehicle detonated, along with its ordinance. Both Alex and Cole felt the explosion from the massive blast that followed. What remained of Alex's attack continued towards Cole, but this time its aim was cut off by the following Thermobaric explosion. The heat also countered the ionic freeze, preventing it from continuing. Both of them stopped their attacks upon bearing witness to the blast.

"Oh stupid sucker," Alex gritted his teeth at the loss of his chance. "What is this some sort of crappy excuse for us to prolong this fight?" He shouted out.

A whirring noise suddenly sounded much more audible after the blast ended. Alex activated the thermal vision, and through the smoke made out five choppers slowly surrounding Cole. The conduit seemed to know they were around, and seemed to be preparing something. It was a swirling orb of electricity beneath him.

By calculations the choppers should go down in about a minute and thirty seven seconds. Alex had enough biomass to use another devastator. Critical Pain Devastator wouldn't probably work again.

"Oh?" Alex watched as five volleys of rockets headed towards Cole. "I want to see you dodge that."

The volleys of rockets continued towards Cole, two volleys were repelled by a simple alpha blast. There were still more coming. The rest however, missed, when the conduit suddenly leapt upwards, triggering some sort of explosion that knocked away the rest. And as he was in the air, he released another one of those electric rockets. The spinning projectile missed. But when Cole fired an electric bolt at one of the choppers, the rocket redirected to it. One down.

Cole landed back on the generator below. This time, he did some sort of pose while the choppers, then Cole swung his arm out. Some sort of electric projectile akin to a bird launched out of his hands . As if created to be alive, the bird tore through one of the helicopters, then at another. And another. The projectile scattered arcs of electricity every time it collided with a vehicle.

And it remained in existence. Choppers tried to get away but the tesla missile was fast and destructive. In less than thirty seconds the vehicles were brought down, and that bird of a projectile was gone. And Cole looked unscathed because of the electric arcs connecting him and that power grid.

Alex was greatly upset."… This …"

Suddenly tendrils covered him. The red and black mass writhed about until they have formed a sleek ruthless looking armor on Alex. Covered with black chitin, it was a wonder how he can see through his faceless mask. A sleek three feet claw had replaced the mass of fists that was on his left arm. While the other hand had changed into a black tentacle with glistening blades erupting from the tips. The feeling of a human arm was completely changed by something that was first Unfamiliar to Alex, but now was something so natural.

"THIS ENDS NOOOOW!"

With that battle cry, Alex ran forward and snatched up a broken truck, vaulting over the frozen remains of a tank in one leap. By now Cole would have noticed the armored superhuman on the air so Alex chose to airdash to the ground, then leap up again, aiming to confuse his enemy with his fast movements. Three swirling rockets headed towards him, and he used an air dash to the side to dodge the attack.

The virus took note of how Cole was aiming at him again, and quickly threw the truck forward. If this plan works then he might be able to finally kill him. A single bolt of lightning, struck him at the chest the moment he threw the vehicle. He felt the jolt from the attack, and although it stunned him, the damage was lessened by his chitin armor. Not so much though.

That was also true for kinetic force. Those three swirling rockets from before returned and slammed down behind him. He was knocked to the ground and although disoriented by the electricity, quickly got up, just in time to see Cole catch that truck with a kinetic pulse. He didn't have much time so Alex raised his claws and slammed it to the ground, an action Cole noticed.

Then the strange rumbling on the ground.

Cole had enough dealing with strange attacks. From trash golems, shockwaves from teleporters, and giant glaciers coming towards you. So it was obvious something was up and Cole leapt off the generator. Chitin spikes rose from the ground and pierced the generator, scattering electricity about. Putting two and two together, Cole lobbed three grenades at Alex then fired a freeze rocket.

Alex withdrew the groundspike just in time to roll away from the projectile. At the same evasive action he swung his whipfist, grabbing a nearby car, and tossed it where the rocket came from. The shockwave that sent it back was almost predictable. Alex merely used his whipfist to catch it again, all the while receiving magnum bolts to his body. The electrocution was still there along the heat but at least Alex can attack unhindered now.

He did not expect orbs close by to start jumping towards him. He moved away first, knowing that if the car exploded it wouldn't be good, before throwing the car. The orbs hopped again towards him and detonated, only making Alex trip and lose his aim. The car headed sailed towards the generator. With a blast, the generator scattered electricity about as the gas from the car lit it aflame.

Cole was budged from his position by the blast. He wasn't that harmed at all, only surprised. With the loss of the generator and Alex's new armor he would need to move.

"Shoot," Cole launched two sticky rockets at Alex. The three homing orbs stuck on him and detonated, but it only made Alex stumble a bit. Alex swung his whipfist at Cole and he rolled in time to dodge it. He saw the crack that was left on the concrete.

"Alright, running time," with an ice launch Cole launched himself away on top of a building. His left arm charged up electricity for an overload as he ran towards the edge of the island. A radar pulse and the ground shaking alarmed Cole, and he rolled just in time to avoid a groundspike. How Alex was able to use on the roof was a question he ignored. "I gotta find something to deal with that-oh that looks good."

Cole briefly turned around to toss in a pair of stalker grenades, then ice launched towards his back away from Alex. Of course Alex just jumped over the grenades and air dashed towards Cole. It didn't matter, time was slowing down for Cole. Or at least from his perspective. The time dilation effect turned what could travel fast, as slow as a snail.

Cole launched a megawatt hammer straight at Alex, who was dashing too fast and straight to dodge. It hit him point black and again Alex was floating in the air. Cole didn't bother to attack and instead used his electric tether to pull himself towards the bridge he saw. The lightning whip landed on a power line and upon landing he began grinding on it. He briefly looked back to see Alex running towards him again, with a broken car hoisted up.

Cole launched out four rockets at Alex's direction, but they were both dodged. It didn't matter, he was gaining a lot of energy. This time he fired six sticky rockets before using his static thrusters to gain some distance. The explosions he heard probably meant Alex lost the broken car. He did not expect to suddenly lose his balance when the wire he was grinding was cut off. Still using static thrusters, Cole glided down with the same speed, and when a radar pulse sensed Alex getting too close, he thunder dropped.

The resulting shockwave caused Alex to stumble, losing some of his speed. But the virus still caught Cole with a tackle and lifted him once, about to slam him do begin the punching. Only to be constantly electrocuted by touching his body. Cole followed up by summoning a burst of icicles between them, and launching off a shockwave. The Shatter blast made Alex stumble, mostly because of the blast as the icicles didn't puncture the armor.

Seeing that Alex is still there, and having the power lines cut off, Cole retaliated with a Graviton Blast which Alex barely dodged by dashing to his behind. On the process, Alex picked up a the broken vehicle from before with his whipfist and turned around. Cole backed off and fired two Redirect Rockets towards Alex, it was dodged again when the virus leapt. Cole fired a bolt of lightning at Alex just as he tossed the broken vehicle.

The redirect rockets returned and slammed Alex to the ground, stunning him again. This time instead of catching the vehicle Cole just ran away from it, sidestepping it when it was on his line of path. His goal was to retreat and find a better position to fight anyway. By now Alex noticed the pattern of those swirling rockets.

"So he redirects them with that bolt of lightning huh?" Alex got off and prepared to grab Cole with his whipfist, only to stop remembering the times he was electrocuted when he got close. Instead he pulled to the ground and propelled himself forward, before continuing with a sprint.

With Cole's radar he sensed Alex closing the distance again. But he was almost at the edge of the bridge, with half his energy, he'll survive. Cole turned around and launched a Cluster Grenade and a pair of Sticky Rockets, not too close that he'll get hurt yet far enough so that Alex's route will ensure he will be damaged if he moves forward. With that moment of distraction, and hesitation on Alex's part, Cole ran for the mainland.

Reaching Neon District, Cole drained a nearby car and tossed it behind him when the nearby civilians began screaming. It didn't surprise him when Alex was already near, his mobility simply too superior compared to Cole's. Alex easily caught the car while at the same time consuming a civilian bystander. Angered, Cole fired two spinning rockets at Alex, who dodged it by jumping up. Cole launched out a lightning bolt at the car Alex was carrying, only for him to toss it away. The redirect rockets missed and Cole rolled away as Alex tried to karate kick him.

"He figured it out already?"

Cole retaliated by launching a mass of swirling energy at his opponent. It stuck on Alex and with that second of confusion from Alex, Cole ice launched away and fired a trio of megawatt rockets at Alex. Somehow he had shifted his claws into a shield and blocked the explosion of the megawatt rockets, the shield almost breaking at the third. The Detonation Blast however stunned Alex then more it should. With that moment, Cole drained a nearby lamp post and noticed civilians lingering around frightened by the battle.

"All of you get out of here!" Cole commanded. The people of Empire City gave him one look, then all began running away. Being a hero has its perks after all. Cole looked back at Alex, who seemed to be struggling with something. Tendrils seemed to be shifting around his armor and grunts of pain can be heard. Cole recalled the biobomb from before and immediately pulled out his amp. He spun around swinging it in a 360 axis just as Alex let out one final grunt, moving his arm outwards.

Cole summoned an Ionic Vortex just as the tendril devastator began. Masses of tendrils erupted everywhere. All couldn't be wider than a rope, yet they had enough force to tear through metal and concrete. They were aimed everywhere, and if it weren't for Cole summoning his own ultra attack, he wouldn't made it.

From his side, the manifested tornado ripped the tendrils that headed its way. It being made out of electricity made it a lot more simpler. The ionic vortex headed for Alex, and with him still trying to 'withdraw' the tendrils everywhere, he was caught in the electrified vortex.

Cole wiped some sweat off his forehead. That last attack was dangerous coming from Alex. It destroyed parts of the building nearby, yet it seemed to also leave Alex vulnerable. He really needs to intercept Alex whenever he does some add stance faster. With that armor on, it would've been hard to interfere.

Sensing a hostility mark nearby, Cole turned around and fired a shatter blast. The cerberus that followed Alex were knocked back, but one was smart enough to flank him. Cole rolled away, minimizing the damage he received from the slam. He called out his gigawatt blades the moment he sensed he was surrounded. There was five of them, and Cole knew he can take them, but Alex might be opportunistic right now.

Then the gunshots began. Cole smirked as the cops nearby open fired at the Cerberus, distracting them long enough for Cole to ice launch away without being damaged. He gave out a nod of thank you at the cop's leader, Warden Harms, and then joined them to get rid of the infected. Being a hero truly has its perks.

...

Alex gritted his teeth as he ran across the streets. He grabbed a nearby civilian and began consuming her to regain his health. His biomass was really low that time from that constant attacks. That devastator that only triggers whenever his health is too low was quite helpful though. But right now he needed all the biomass he can muster. His whipfist grabbed an escaping civilian and by then he was just biomass for Alex.

As he consumed, Alex noticed something. He looked to his side, towards the sea as he examined it. It was large and it was surprising how he missed that. It was a large aircraft carrier, yet seemingly devoid of any aircraft. That much he can tell from his sight. Then the memories of those he consumed gave him a tidbit of information about his enemy.

"... Seriously, he's weak against water?"

...

"And that's the last of them," Cole kicked the last Cerberus, then got a magnum bolt headshot. The constant bullets from the cops helped out and by then it was dead. "Alright, thanks everyone. But there was a guy that could kill you in one hit."

"That's why we were here to help out," simply replied Warden Harms. "Every single bit counts on a battle against something like that."

"No offense but this guy would kill you in seconds. And I'll handle him easier without you guys," Cole warned with a serious tone. "If he kills one of you guys he'll regenerate and make it harder."

"So nanoka?"

"What?"

"Nothing," Harms let out a sigh as he called his men. "Alright men. We'll let Cole handle this. Promise-"

They were interrupted when a figure ran up to them in panic. Everyone's focus came to the screaming person. The cops lowered down their guns slightly, while Cole kept his right arm electrified.

"Help! There's some sort of mutant thing attacking everyone on the Plaza!" The person warned aloud, seemingly in shock. He ran towards Cole. "Please Cole! Fight that thing!"

Cole shot out an Overload Burst straight at the man's face. Or at least that's what his aim was when the civilian rolled away. In a second that civilian had grabbed a police officer and was now running away. By now it was obvious that the civilian was Alex Mercer when their body began changing into that familiar armored form. Bullets and bolts were shot and Alex still continued his escape. Straight towards that aircraft carrier.

Cole only gritted his teeth at the casualty. He should've just electrocuted him on the spot instead of trying to deal heavy damage. He gave one look at Warden Harms, and he nodded back.

"We'll evacuate the people from this area," Harms said.

"And I will kill Alex Mercer," Cole stated with the same determination and will when he wanted to kill Kessler.

...

1 hour later...

...

Alex leisurely stood on the middle of the aircraft carrier. His biomass full with a bit of critical mass. He still had his armor, his shield and the whipfist. Blades and hammerfists won't be useful. But he found a way to combine his musclemass with his shield and whip. With a pistol on his hand, and a 'hostage' cop nearby and knowledge of Cole's weakness, he was confident now. Maybe it being night right now would help him fight Cole.

Won't matter, he has equipment that he'll need.

Then he heard a noise. Alex looked to his right just as Cole thunder dropped from his static thrusters. He looked the same as before, with the exception of an open yellow courier jacket over his regular outfit. Arcs of electricity travelled through his arms as he spotted Alex. Said arms gave off a glow that illuminated the area brightly. There goes the sight advantage.

"Mercer," Cole raised both his arms both dangerous looking. "This ends now."

"Yes it will," Alex raised his arms in a boxer position.

Next chapter is going to be the final chapter. Everyone be prepared. I don't own Prototype or inFAMOUS. They're both owned by Radical Entertainment and Sucker Punch respectively. Please review.

Oh? Are you guys still mad about the Ionic Freeze and Critical Pain failing to meet up? Alright, here's what happens if they do.

OMAKE I

The mass of biomass and blood headed straight towards Cole. And the freezing attack continued to head forward. The attacks met up. It didn't end there. The critical pain's biomass was frozen by the cryokinetic attack. It would've been all over there. But the attack continued on. The mass of biomass, although was freezing and slowly turning more solid, struck Cole off his generator spot. Its momentum did not slow down at all.

"Ahhh!" Cole let out a shout as he was knocked off the island onto the waters below. The sea was far too deep, and Cole was submerged by water. In a few seconds Cole was knocked out by his own electricity.

On Alex's side however. After finally knocking Cole away, what was left of the critical pain was now ice. And it soon broke apart, shattering into many many fragments. Alex tried to pull back the biomass, only to felt a very very cold feeling.

"Oh shi-" Alex didn't finish as the rest of his body froze. He might be an able shapeshifter, strong enough to tear through tanks. But that didn't matter when you can't use your body. The sub zero-gas passed through him as ice spikes followed.

His biomass froze. And like the critical pain, his body was now as solid as ice, and covered by ice. He wasn't even able to finish pulling back his ultra attack when Cole's ultra attack reached him.

That's right, in a span of a moment, Cole had been submerged underwater and Alex is now frozen deep to the core…

The BLACKWATCH soldiers and the military were confused at what happened. Very confused.

DOUBLE KO

Though honestly Ionic Freeze would lose.
