[b]Greg and Spork here with another fic, this one centered mostly around Naomi. This takes place in the [i]inFamous 2[/i] game time, between the missions "Desperate Times" and "Conduit, Not Human" in terms of gameplay. Also, this will follow the thread "Shocking Explosion", which took place in the first game. Since it couldn't be shown in the topic due to it dying, it is assumed that Cole MacGarth, Lucy Kuo, and Zeke Dunbar know what an Interference is, while Nix does not (nor does she care).

As a note, none of the Interferences here are Conduits, but one of them will learn skills from the fic (and train them in a later thread). This will take place after "Wandering Wonderland" For Naomi Castillo, and between the thread in which Naito meets Rikka and "Water's Truth" for him.

Now then, let us present to you "Half As Long, Twice As Bright".[/b]

[size=4]Chapter 1: And I Thought I Was A Pyro[/size]

The past few minutes had been...interesting.

Between being shot at by rocket launchers and machine guns simply for flying and the overall hectic nature of this world, he had been forced to the rooftops, out of sight of many, but by no means all. Some might have needed to climb instead, but not him.

That wasn't to say he was having a good time in New Marais, due to the aforementioned gunfire, his failure to protect Azumi and realize the truth about Rikka, and other things on his mind. His psychological block against using his true powers did not help either. Still, he had to fight, especially as he saw the two nearby.

The men in orange and tan clothing fired, their faces hidden by white masks. These were the same ones who were killing random people in the streets, so they were likely evil.

The man shooting small electric bolts of blue had a shaved head with brownish hair and light skin. His right arm was tattooed with patterns akin to stars and wings, and he had a scar on his face, healing. For a shirt he had a white T-shirt with a dark navy blue collar and sleeves, and a light orange drab bag on his back, strapped diagonally across him from right shoulder to left hip with a small radio on his chest on the strap. He took what looked to be a cattle prod of some sort from his back in one hand, and bashed it into one of the enemies, an electric shock coursing through the weapon into the foe, but not harming the user. He had black cargo pants with a Union Jack on the right leg, He wore sport shoes, the "tabi boots" sometimes used for parkour.

A dark skinned woman with some makeup on her face appeared in a burst of black smoke beside the gas can, helped him pick it up and pour the gasoline down on the flags reaching below and surrounding the area of a lower town square, a place where it seemed that there were many prisoners, perhaps for execution. She had braided dreadlocks, with specific parts partly colored with a dark red. Her attire consisted mostly of leather, with a black half-opened vest, and leather pants and boots. She also had several slightly torn sleeves and wore several bands and ornaments. She also wore several decorative rope necklaces, and also had metal finger attachments on both her hands.

Naito Zivaku didn't waste a second as the electrokinetic and his ally moved to the next gas can. He flew straight at the nearest Militiaman on wings of silver, doing his best to ignore the shouts of a "freak" in the area, and tackled him to the ground, smashing the back of his blade into the side of his head, a knockout blow.

It was time to get to business.
