Chapter Twenty-one
Long before the blast…
Cross: That's all you got?
Cole: Not even close freak.
Cole and Cross engaged in a ruthless battle, with their unique powers.
Cole shot electricity bolts at Cross, but Cross was strong enough to endure and overcome them.
Cole activated his gigawatt blades and began hitting Cross. It had outstanding results, as Cross was taking heavy damage. Cross was on the floor on his back, while Cole was about to unleash his lightning storm to finish this.
Just then a hunter tackled Cole and knocked him back. When Cole got up, he noticed he was surrounded by infected civilians and hunters.
Cole: Let's go this.
One by one Cole attacked and killed many infected that charged at him. However, more kept charging at him.
Cole: They're way too many of them! Moya, where's the back up?!
No answer.
Cole: Moya! God damn it!
Cole kept fighting but his energy was draining out slowly as he used his powers.
Taking down hundreds of infected had rendered Cole powerless. He needed to recharge with electricity.
Cross grabbed Cole and punched him a couple of times, taking advantage of Cole's powerless state.
Cross: Not so high and mighty now lightning rod. What's the matter? No electricity left? You're weak! After I destroy you, nothing will stop me.
Cross was about to finish off Cross until He was suddenly Frozen solid.
Cole: What the…?
Kuo: Missed me, Cole?
Cole: Kuo! Perfect timing.
Kuo: Here's something for you.
Kuo was in the air and throw something down to Cole. It was his amplifier. The weapon Zeke constructed to improve his powers and melee
Cole: My amp. Boy has it been long.
Cross broke out of the ice that captivated him and tried to attack Cole and throw him into the water while he was recharging his power. Kuo was unaware, since she was battling infected.
Cross: You should always watch your back electric head!
Cole turned around just to see Cross in the air and about to attack him. In that Time Cole could not do anything. However, suddenly Cross was in the air at one second and then knocked at the side at another. All that could've been seen was black smoke.
Cole: That smoke. It seems too familiar.
Voice: C'mon demon! Don't tell me you forgot me!
Cole recognized the voice. He turned around to see Nix standing on the ropes of the bridge. It was none other than Nix.
Nix: Thought you could use the help, demon.
Cole: Now, this can work just fine.
Infected charged at the three conduits, but also fell by their hands.
Cross tried to run away, noticing he would not be able to win against all three conduits.
Cole: I don't think so, Cross.
Cole dashed and attacked Cross with his amp, while Nix and Kuo took care of infected that tried to stop him. Cross fell on the ground and Cole trapped him with the amp on Cross' neck.
Cole: This Ends now Cross.
Cole was about to charge the amp up, and unleash a devastating charge to finish Cross off until something in his instinct just made him look back at the Commander for some strange reason.
Then there was an enormous explosion. The bridge began to shake. It had been destroyed from one side, causing it to begin collapsing. There was an entire ocean underneath Cole, but to him, was his end.
