Final Episode: Part 1

Previously...

"I will follow your decision."

Will stared at Nico for a long second before grabbing his ring from the table and put it on.

"With whose permission are you divorcing me?" He asked him, trying to sound tough. "Why would you say such nonsense?" He grabbed Nico's ring and looked at it before placing it on his finger, holding his hand. "One of us disappearing... There's no ending like that. Why should it be that way? We can all be together." He continued.

"So you would like to live here like this for a lifetime?" Nico checked, unsure of what the answer may be.

"Us three... We can live." Will nodded, accepting it. Wouldn't be so bad...

"How could we live together?" Nico insisted. "I must be imprisoned and the same goes for your father. Both your father and I will probably spend our lives in prison."

"If you behave as a model prisoner, your sentence could be reduced." Will argued with him, seriously.

"But still, we can't be happy here." Nico kept insisting. It was obvious to Will he would not give up on proving his point. "We will spend our lifetimes meeting in the visitation room."

"We can continue to see each other in the visitation room." Will was as stubborn as Nico. "Don't you think that better than not being able to see each other forever? What's wrong with that?"

"Such an ordinary ending is impossible." Nico concluded, sighing.

"It is possible!" Like Hell, I'll give up! "Both Dad and you must stay by my side. I cannot even imagine any other alternative. We are just going to live until we get sick or old and die. Just like the other people. Just as the lives of ordinary people are. You told me to make the decision, I have made that decision."

It was obvious that Nico wanted to continue to argue about it but he stopped when he heard some police sirens getting closer.

"Draw the back door that we'll escape through and a getaway car too." Nico asked him, sighing a bit. "If we can't make a conclusive ending immediately, we should get out of here for now."

And Will did so.

"Didn't you say so back then..." Nico pulled out Will from his thoughts. He was driving and Will was on the back seat with Apollo slept on his shoulder. "...that I, as a husband, never once said 'I love you'?"

How did he remember that...?

"I love you."

And you were the one that wanted to keep me away...

They made it to a small hotel and rented a room. Will got help from Nico to carry his father to the room and, as soon as they set him on the bed, they tied him up. Will was hurt just by doing so but he had no other option.

It could be a danger to himself and them.

"I get Percy out, so stay here for now." Nico told Will when they were settled down. Will wanted to argue very much but knew that Nico wouldn't be with a clean conscience if he left his cousin die like that.

"Be careful." Will asked him and Nico nodded, leaving the room and a worried Will behind.

Soon, Nico arrived to where Zeus Olympia was holding hostage Percy.

He could see how Zeus was getting a tad paranoid as he had guards stationed on the door of the storage. He had called in advance to the rest of their team, mainly Frank and Jason- he didn't want anyone else involved. He parked the car behind theirs and got out, they instantly doing the same to greet him.

"CEO, what happened? The police were looking for you." Frank asked him, worried.

"Why is Percy here again?" Jason wondered, looking at the heavily secured area.

"Wait here." Nico told them and walked confidently to the storage. The guards immediately recognized him.

"Nico di Angelo has arrived." One of them announced through a microphone. "Where is the tablet?" He suddenly demanded. It was obvious that someone else was asking.

"Give me proof my cousin is fine." Nico counter attacked them, seriously and trying to sound confident. The guard repeated that and they only had to wait a few minutes when the front door finally opened and another two guard walked out with a bloody Percy.

"Cousin. Cousin!" Percy barely could register who was calling him, much less open his eyes. The words coming out of Nico's mouth mobilized both Frank and Jason who were as shocked as Nico at Percy's state. "Cousin... Go straight to the hospital." He ordered Jason.

"OK." Jason replied, grabbing one side of Percy while Frank grabbed the other one, carrying him to their car.

"What about you...?" Frank wanted to know but Nico wordlessly- and with an obvious glare -walked into the storage, ready to face Zeus. He found Zeus sitting on a chair, as if he had no care in the world, which infuriated Nico.

"What about the tablet?" Zeus repeated, like all his minions before

"I don't have it." Nico admitted, serious. Zeus snorted at him but Nico didn't care, taking out a flash drive from his pocket. "Instead, I'll give you this." He showed the flash drive to him, dropping it on the table. "Starting with you torturing me, the video footage in here is very comprehensive. Go confirm it." He dared Zeus. "I won't send it to the police immediately. But if you touch one of my people once more, I won't just stand for it." He promised to him, trying not to show how angry he was. "Because there are countless copies." It looked like Zeus was grasping the situation. "You know that just grilling me won't solve the problem either. And stop searching for the tablet. If you don't want really to have a syringe stuck into your neck." He finally threatened him, ready to leave.

"Hey, but..." Zeus stopped him, sounding extremely casual for the situation. "By the way, you said that you needed to die for it to be the end."

"What?" Nico looked at him, slightly confused.

All of the sudden, Zeus had pulled out a gun and shot him on the shoulder.

The shock and the impact of the projectile made Nico stumble and fall on the floor.

"What are you going to do?" One of Zeus' men asked him when their boss walked slowly to Nico and pointed the gun at his face. Evidently, they didn't understand what was happening.

"I heard a strange story while waiting for you." Zeus started. "Two worlds." Nico sighed and closed his eyes, finally understanding what was happening. "Go outside." Zeus told his men who stayed in their place, confused. "Didn't you hear? Stay outside." Zeus repeated, pointing the gun at them. The men nodded and left the room before Zeus locked it from inside. "Percy Jackson heard from you and said some nonsense." Zeus began again to tell Nico, who tried to hide his emotions. "The fact that you are the main character of a manhwa and I am the antagonist."

I thought you were the bad guy from the beginning...

"He said the guy who drew the manhwa with the tablet turned it off? The manhwa drew by Apollo Solace. I was wondering what kind of crazy nonsense that was." Zeus recognized, laughing to himself. "But it turns out to be true. The things that happened here a year ago everything has been so strange. How do you think I'm feeling now?" He asked him as if waited for a real answer.

I'll bite... how are you feeling right now...? Nico hated not to have the strength to mock him on his face.

"Is the election important now when there's another world out there. I was curious... Why does a person who comes and disappears at his will all of a sudden, can't move and can't run away from here. And also why he continued to rot in jail. Why is that? Why? Why could it be? Why?" Zeus insisted, still pointing the gun at Nico. "I thought it was because the tablet was gone. I thought it was because it was the last episode. But that bastard spilled it all out after taking the medication, that it was the last episode."

You drugged my cousin, you sick bastard...

"That's why... whether the main character or the antagonist dies, one of them needs to die for it to end. That way I can go into the other world." He reasoned and Nico could see the implication of his words. "There is at least one fact." He acknowledged, pressing the gun to his chin. "There is another world out there. Thanks to you, I was able to go there and confirm it. And so you must die." Zeus concluded. Nico let him talk so he wouldn't notice how he was moving one of the nearby chairs with his feet. "Percy Jackson doesn't believe you can be killed and that it is impossible to catch you. Right..." He took some steps back for what Nico believed to be a dramatic gesture and Nico would take advantage of that. "You are not needed anymore. I will go and confirm the truth."

The second that Zeus turned to fire the gun at him again, Nico used his feet to throw the chair at him. The chair itself wouldn't hurt him but it would serve as distraction enough to let him get up and get close to him without giving him time to shoot again. Immediately, Nico grabbed Zeus' gun arm and pointed it far from him with his other hand was holding Zeus' neck.

Zeus immediately struck back and pushed Nico over the table, pressing on the shoulder he had shot. That made Nico shout out in pain but he kept fighting him until both of them were on the floor again, Nico still trying to get the gun out of reach. During the fight, shouts from the other side of the door could be heard but were promptly ignored.

The struggle between Nico and Zeus was short afterward. Nico took possession of the gun and waited for Zeus' henchmen to walk in. As soon as they were on range, Nico shot them both, leaving the storage limbing. He found two more henchmen rushing to the other's aid but Nico quickly shot the first one and knocked out cold the second one when he realized there were no more bullets in the magazine.

He immediately got out of there.

Meanwhile, Percy had recovered some of his conscious and was scolding the rest of his family while returning to the storage.

For someone who had been beaten up and tortured recently, Percy had been fuming when he heard his cousin had walked in without backup.

"You bastards, are you crazy? How could you let him go in alone?"

"He said to go to the hospital so I thought he was just going to talk." Frank admitted to him. Jason was just driving, scared to admit his older cousin was scary.

"Oh!" Jason mumbled, just when they were about to arrive. "CEO is out." He pointed out, seeing how Nico was climbing with difficulty to his car.

"Hurry and go." Percy told them but as soon as he saw a henchmen coming out the storage to chase him, he changed his plans. "There! Stop!" Immediately, Jason stopped the car and got out with Frank to stop the henchmen and give Nico some distance time.

Meanwhile, Will knew something was wrong.

The whole 'waiting until Nico returned' was driving him crazy. He couldn't do much but to look after his father. It was doing that when he noticed that Apollo's hands stopped fading. He feared something bad had happened to Nico but he didn't dare to call him in case someone else answered the phone.

So, when the phone rang, it was a relief.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Solace?"

"Percy? What happened? Were you released?" Will bombed him with questions.

"Yes. I am alive." Will sighed, happy about it but still worried.

"That's a relief. CEO di Angelo..."

"CEO di Angelo?" Percy spoke at the same time, triggering the alarm in Will.

"Aren't you together?"

"No. I saw him escape but I can't contact him." Percy explained to him.

"Where did he go?"

"We are looking for him. First, it is sure that he escaped." He assured him. "Could you send me the address there? I will... send the guys there."

"Yes." Will agreed and hung up, texting him the address with only one thought in mind.

Nico, where are you...?
