Cole stared up at the damaged behemoth before him. The Beast had caused all this, directly and indirectly. He caused Kessler to decide to go back in time and speed up the timeline, resulting in Trish's death. He caused the destruction of Empire City, his home. And now, he was trying to kill the human race. And Cole had enough of it all. He leaped down off the church tower and walked over to where he had dropped the RFI. Picking it up, he took a final survey of New Maris.
The city had took a beating that would forever hold scars. Whether it was floods or giant monsters, the city would pull through. And Cole hoped that they would.
With a sigh, he look over at Kuo and Nix. Both looked like they had a building collapse on them, but were together. Wordlessly, the came over and placed their hands on the RFI. With a nod, all three poured their power into it, in an attempt to rid the world of the plague and Conduits. After an eternity of excruciating pain, it all went black.
"Well, that went better then I expected Cole."
Eyes wide open, Cole fanatically spun around, fear rising and threatening to suffocate him. He charged the figure in white, electricity sparking to life in his hands.
But before he reach him, he fell to the ground paralyzed. "I still can't believe you're not happy to see me. I mean you could at least say hello before trying to off me again."
Cole grounded his teeth together struggling to get free. "How in the name of heck, are you still alive!"
Kessler sighed with his hand across his face. "I'm not technically alive, we both are in a sort of limbo. Your presence is required by some very powerful people. In exchange for your help, they will in turn bring you and Trish back to the living. And after you do your end of the bargain, you will be returned to our world. Now any questions?"
Cole's mind spun, the only thought that overpowered everything was the thoughtful seeing Trish again. So he stopped struggling and turned toward Kessler. "Ok I'll do it on one condition, Kuo and Nix are brought back as well."
Kessler sighed again shaking his head. "I'll see what I can arrange, but first what do you know of the Greek gods?"
Kessler then spent what was possibly considered an hour in the limbo, telling Cole of the various mythical creatures that inhabited the world he was going to. At the end he turned to Cole. "I do hope that you succeed, not just for this world but for ours as well." But before Cole could ask for an explanation, he was falling.
Ok, that's a wrap guys. This is a response to a challenge posted by UzumakiDemigodReader. The challenge is as follows.
Stay on Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series- Ok
Make it funny- I'll try
At the end of final book, have Cole/Leo say "half as long, twice as bright" – Might be someone else
Fem Percy- Maybe, need more thought
Annabeth dating someone other then Percy unless Fem Percy- Ok, can do
Nix being sent with him- Both her and Kuo
Bashing- Probably only Zeus for being an idiot
No dark Cole- No problamo
Good grammar- I'll try

Ok that's all, and I will say this. I don't own Anything. And I shall see you in the next chapter. Bye Bye
