Chapter 52: Overcharge & Cold Snap

Chapter 52: Overcharge & Cold Snap

Cole and Cassie ran all over the Gas Work, taking out Icemen, stopping mugging and defusing the last of the bombs. They then meet up on a roof and sat down, "Well, I got the last of the dead drops, the last one took me all the way out into the bayou." she states as she pulls out her phone, "Alright, we'll have all the information to fill in the blanks." he states.

Cassie nods at him and she pulls up her phone, The last two may be a bit... disturbing." Cassie warns him and he nods at him. "Do it," he said, she nods at him and hits play.

"Audio surveillance of Joseph Bertrand, file B107."

"It's a thing of beauty, Doctor. How powerful it is?"

"It's a low yield missile, as per your instructions.. the payload should be roughly 51 kilotons. But I've never made anything like this before. If you'd allow me to run a blast test--"

"Out of the question. We do that, the government would be at our doorstep before we had time to measure the results. we'll just have to hope for the best. Hope that we never need to use it."

The recording stops and Cassie looks at Cole, "So the missile was a last resort if things didn't go as planned." Cole states.

Cassie shrugs at him, "That was the idea before we stole it." she states, he smirks at her as he smiles a little. "Play the last one," he states she nods and presses play.

"Audio report...final."

"The door won't hold them."

(Loud pounding.)

"I've done what I've could to reverse the damage I've unleashed on the world. After Bertrand took over the First Sons. I chose to stay on, and I committed further acts of horror under his twisted leadership."

(Loud pounding continues)

"But his resources allowed me to finish the RFI. That's all that matters. My God, I hope it works. I hope it exceeds my wildest expectations and put an end to the Plague."

(Door burst open.)

"Forgive me, Kuo. I wish I could have warned you."

(Rough struggle and grunts)

The recording stops and Cassie looks at Cole, "Warned Kuo? Why would he warn her?" Cole questions and Cassie shrugs at him. "No idea, but my gut is telling me that it's something really important if he hoped the RFI exceeds his expectations," Cassie states Cole nods at her.

But then, Cole's phone went off and he answers it. Zeke whines on the other line. "Now ice men are disabling substations! Let's see what they think of our overcharged technique!" Zeke said over the line., Cole smirks as Cassie stretches her legs and stood up, "It would be nice to work out the frustrations." she states, stretching her arms. Cole stood up as well and stretches his arms out. "Let's go them," he states.

Then they both took off and climb to the top of the oil station, Cassie waves at the tech and he waves back at her, then Cole helps her up onto the substation and they both gasp in awe as they were being overcharged, they look over and saw the other substation on the side oil station, it wasn't far, but that didn't mean they couldn't be careful of where they went. Cole jumps onto the power-line and flew along with it. Cassie not too far from him was catching up, they jumped over the roof, overcharging the Icemen and land on the next power-line.

The flew towards the next power line and jumps over the roof as the glided with their thrusters. Their overcharged powers shocked the Icemen to death and they landed on the next power-line. Then they were grinding to the next power-line and they flew up into the air and land on the substation, overcharging the ice men as they flew off the roof, Cassie flinches a little, but the smiles as she looks up at Cole and he smiles down at her.

~8~8~8~

Cassie exhales as she bends over, exhaling as the Hive lord falls overhead, Cole leans against his amp and pants. "You know, I really hate these things so much right now," Cassie mutters and Cole pats her shoulder.

But then a woman calls them over and they looked at her, then stood up and walks over to her. "The Icemen are parading around their Militia captives. Like they're any better. Hit them now, I bet you catch them all napping." she states, they both nodded at her and took off running down the street.

The ran into the alley and found the Icemen walking with their Militia captives, Cole threw out an Ionic freeze, freezing them soiled and Cassie fires at the heavy, taking him out and he drops to the ground dead. Then the Militia took off running as more ice men came out, ambushing them. Cole sighs to himself. "I knew it. I knew it was too easy," he states, but then Cassie threw out a vortex and sending the ice men flying. He smirks at her and they both took off and climb up the walls, avoiding the Ice Crushers.

Cassie fires three Rockets at them, but the Ice Crushers dodge them, then Cole threw grenades at them and wounded them, Cassie recharges her powers and fired rockets at them, wounding them even more. But they threw ice clusters at them, knocking Cole back and Cassie off the roof. She smacks against the ground and groans as she lays there.

Then Cole ran to the edge and looks down at her "Cassie, you okay?" he calls out and she sighs, moving her arms over her head "I really hate the icemen, just as much." she calls out. He smirks down at her "Then get your ass up here and kick theirs!" he calls out, "I just might do that!" she calls back to him, then pulls herself back up and climbs up the wall.

Cole moves away and helps Cassie back onto the roof and she shakes off the smackdown. "Okay, let's do this," she states then marches over to the side, she threw grenades at them, but they jumped away, then she fires rockets at them and directed them right at the ice crushers, knocking them back towards the edge of the roof on the other side of the alley.

Then Cole fires rockets at then and this causes the two Ice Crushers to fall to their deaths and smack against the ground. Cassie flinches then she glides over to the edge and looks down at the dead ice crushers and saw that they weren't moving.

Cole then came over and joins her, "They dead?" he asks her, she kept her eyes on the ice Crushers and nods at him, "Yeah, they're dead." she states, he nods at her and pulls her eyes from the edge. "Let's head back," he states and the ran to the edge of the roof and jumps off.
