I would like to thank all for reading, reviewing and many other things related to this story. It means much to me that you've liked my story. Review.

Morkain/Havoc POV:

I woke up to something that I wasn't expecting: New York City restored, like nothing had ever happened. And the shocking part was that there were people walking around the city confused. There were even more mortals then there should be.

"Havoc! Havoc!" Someone shouted. I turned around to see Wolf and Lory running towards me. They had some bruises but were nonetheless okay. The mortals were too confused to really focus on them or me.

The two stopped a few inches from me, looking me up and down. Then Wolf asked, "What happened to Claws?"

My shoulders sank when I thought about Claws-no what Apocalypse said. "The war shall continue."

"He got away." I said as I took another look around. "More importantly what happened here?"

Lory pointed towards the Empire State Building. "I really have no idea but everyone is regrouping back at Olympus while the mortal soldiers are helping the citizens back into the city."

Seeing the logic in that the three of us headed towards Olympus, where we saw others heading to as well. Before we got there a familiar face greeted us.

"Forge!" I shouted. The said man heard my voice and stopped talking to the Junkers and came over to me. We shook hands and he started laughing.

"Its good to see you again Blade, or Havoc as you are now called." Forge said.

I smirked. "Well a lot of things have happened these past few days." Then I looked at his Junkers. "It was a good thing that you brought these guys with you. Otherwise I was concerned that the Fade might outnumber our forces."

Forge shrugged. "Well what can I say; I was bored."

"Havoc" Wolf said. "The Veil forces are preparing to leave soon. But Axxon, Brutaka and a Toa Captain are waiting for you up in Olympus."

I nodded, "Okay but first lets find the others and Annala." I said.

When we got out of the elevator, the place was half crowded with gods, demigods, Cyclops, Satyrs and Centaurs. I started to gather the Vanguards and began heading towards the throne room, or what remained of it.

Then I heard Hade's voice. "Do you have any idea what you did? You've defied the laws of death, do you know how much of a mess I'll have to clean up down in the Underworld?"

I followed his voice towards the throne room and what I saw shocked me. The Olympians were all sitting on their damaged thrones with their kids by their sides, and were looking down at a woman. It was to my shock that the woman was Hestia or Annala.

They finally noticed us and before I knew it, I was bowing down to Annala, and was soon followed by the other Vanguards. But Zeus thought we were bowing to them and so he said, "Arise Percy Jackson"

I ignored him, still bowing along with the others. Annala gave a soft smile and said, "Arise Vanguards of Chaos." And we did, and I couldn't help but smirk at the looks the Gods were giving us.

"Alright, alright enough with the greetings and stuff." Mr. D said. "Can we get back to what just happened out there Hestia?"

Annala smirked. "I believe my name is now Annala." She said proudly. "And as to what I did, it is simple: I brought order, just as my name says and just as I always have done." And she watched as the other Gods had their mouths opened in shock.

Once things had settled down she continued. "Those who had died 100 years ago and later on after that, they have been brought back. Your cities and countries are rebuilt. But the Mist is broken, the monsters are gone, and now both sides of this world know the existence of the other. As the rulers of this world you must now lead the mortals to prosperity. For if you allow your personal greed take over you, then you are all doomed."

I had to admit that made sense to me. But right now I had more important matters to deal with. "I'll speak with Axxon and Brutaka, have the Veil do a quick sweep of the planet to make sure there are no Fade forces remaining."

"How do we know that they won't try to take over just like the Fade did?" Hermes asked.

This time I spoke. "Well they do have an arrogant I'll admit, but their loyal to Chaos so they won't cause any trouble."

They seemed to be okay with that statement. Then Poseidon, I mean dad, turned to look at me. "And what shall you do my son?"

I sighed, wishing he didn't call me that. "Well we need to head back to base. Because I have a feeling that Apocalypse won't be hiding for too long." I said.

This time Annabeth spoke. "Wait, what about Chad and Crystal?"

I turned to look at Annala, wondering if she knew as well. The look she gave me was a clear sign that she did, and that it was okay. I looked directly at my ex-girlfriend. "From what I know, Chaos took them for some reason."

Annala nodded, "Know this everyone. Great changes are about to happen. Not just here, but throughout all existence, and nothing can stop it. Decisions must be carefully if we are to make sure that this change does not doom us all."

And with that the council was adjourned. As the Vanguards headed out I saw that from the corner of my eye Annabeth walking towards me. "I'll be there in a minute." I told Wolf who was staring at me.

Just as I was about to walk over to her I heard a loud. "Big Brother!" And suddenly I was pulled into a strong hug by none other then Tyson. Even after 10,000 years my little brother was childish as ever. Coming up from behind him was Poseidon.

"You weren't about to go without saying goodbye to us weren't you son?" The God of the Sea asked.

I scratched my head, a little embarrassed at that. "Well, I wasn't really sure. After all that happened…"

"I want to go with you Big Brother!" Tyson exclaimed out of the blues.

I was shocked; really I was not expecting this. "I don't know Tyson, it won't be exactly safe."

He huffed and crossed his arms. "I don't want to lose you Big Brother." He said stubbornly.

I sighed and looked at Poseidon. He gave me a sheepish shrugged. Then I turned to look at Tyson. "Sure. Why not?"

Tyson cheered in joy and started running around the room. It took five minutes to stop him and by then Poseidon had left. I told Lory to take Tyson to the others when I heard a voice from behind. "You wouldn't happen to have room for one more?"

I turned around and was face to face with Annabeth Chase. Now looking closely at her, I could tell she had been crying a lot since the kids had gone missing. "Are you sure you want to go? I can't promise that you'll be able to do what you want." I said.

Annabeth just sighed. "When the kids were born, all I wanted to do was too keep them safe, even if that meant marrying jerks like Mark. But now that he's gone, and the kids are somewhere else, there's no point for me to stay."

I looked at her for a few seconds, remembering everything that we've been through. I realized that I could never be truly rid of her. And so with that in mind I slowly raised my hand to her, which she took gladly. Soon the two of us walked out of the throne room towards the other Vanguards, who were already helping Tyson with his stuff. Annala was with them but at a distance and Russell was there as well, along with Grover and Juniper.

I shook Grover's hand. "Come to see us off buddy?" I asked

Grover shrugged, "Pretty much, though Russell would like to say something."

Russell walked up to me, his head down and shuffling his hooves. "Um, I want to say I'm sorry. About what happened to Chad and Crystal." He said nervously.

I smirked, and then pat him on the shoulder. "No hard feelings kid, I knew that you were doing what you thought was right." I told him. As I was talking to him Ram came over to Grover and gave him a handshake.

"Been nice seeing you again son." Ram said. Grover smiled at his dad as the two hugged one another. After Ram said goodbye to him, Juniper and Russell, Annala came up to me.

"Morkain I believe you should know that I will not be coming with you." She said.

That surprised me. "Why not?"

Annala smiled. "Despite my transformation back to my original form, I am still this planet's hearth. I must remain here until I can create a new way for a new hearth."

That wasn't very comforting, but I had to go with it. And I also I had to let Chaos know about all of this, if he didn't know already. So with all us here we all zapped ourselves back to the Fortress of the Vanguards on the planet Chairos, the only planet in the Void and home to the Firstborn. It was a giant blue planet with a large fleet defending it. If you had a bird's eye view of the place, then it would look like one giant city. With advanced buildings beyond anything ever built, also with AA cannons almost everywhere.

While the others were showing Annabeth and Tyson, I headed towards Chaos's tower, where Chaos isolated himself. When I entered the top room floor, it looked the same as always. The walls were covered in ancient writing, glowing blue. The room was a mix of an outdoors garden and a laboratory. Flowers were in neatly pots dug into the ground. A small river was flowing all around the room, with bridges built on top of them in each corner of the room. Machines were hanging from the ceiling, walls and floors, tubes attached into them with liquid pouring into them. Shelves and tables were filled with books, notes and blueprints of different types of designs and certain history contexts. And in the middle of the room was a giant pit with a great fire coming out of it. It would change color every five seconds. And at the other side of the room was Annotar, working on something. He only wore a white cloak with a hood over his face. When he turned around and showed me his blue eyes, the only thing visible under that hood.

"Master Chaos" I said as I bowed.

"Blade, or Havoc is it? I'm glad you came we have much to discuss. And please call me Annotar, since you've already discovered my true identity." He said in a deep voice.

I nodded and came forward. Once I was close enough I asked, "Where are my kids?"

Not even moving or flinching at the tone of my voice, Annotar pointed towards the right, and a large door appeared behind the wall. "They're in there. In hibernation, but their minds are active, helping them hone their new powers and enhance their skills."

"Why?" I asked as I stared at the door.

"Because they are needed in the future. And they must be fully prepared for what is to come. Sorvak is let loose, and soon the greatest evil in all of existence shall be awaken. And he will crave both freedom and vengeance."

I stared at the door one last time before turning my focus back at Annotar. "What about this portable prison? The one holding your brother Teravicus?" I asked.

Annotar put down what he was working on. "I've already informed Muaka about the whole thing and he has strengthened his defenses." Then he turned to face me. "But for now we must prepare…for war."

Normal POV:

In the deepest, darkest part of the Void, a large red planet, almost an exact replica of Chairos, could be seen. Thousands of spacecrafts could be seen in orbit, hovering over the planet. Down below tall towers could be seen hovering over dirty clouds, with hover cars flying everywhere. In the center city a mighty fortress/palace stood, with a large dome in the middle with four towers on each corner of it.

On top of a landing platform where several hooded people were standing, there was a bright flash. When it died down there were six people standing in its place, one of them was Apocalypse.

The hooded people bowed at the return of their master. "Lord Apocalypse. Welcome home."

Bloodsound scanned the area. "Six survivors: Apocalypse, Deathsting, Bloodsound, Terminator, Feral and Quake."

Apocalypse merely snarled. "The others were to weak, let them rot." He said as he walked inside. "I'll be in the throne room. No one interruptions."

A few minutes later the leader of the Destroyers entered a round shape room. The place glowed with red light, and had statues of golems and gargoyles. On the opposite side of the door was a throne on top of several sets of stairs. And in the center was a giant orb floating in mid air. The moment Apocalypse entered the room; the orb began to fill up with pitch-black smoke. Once the smoke had fully covered the orb, to red eyes appeared and stared right at the Destroyer, who immediately bowed before the giant orb.

"High King of Terror, Teravicus." He said in a respectful voice.

The orb hummed in content with that. Then it spoke in a deep sinister voice. "At long last, my herald has returned."

"Yes Master" Apocalypse said. "I've already told Bloodsound to prepare the fleet for launch in a few hours."

"And what about your plans to free me?" Teravicus asked.

"I've already begun organizing a team to deploy to go after it. Once they locate its guardian, it will be easy for them to capture it." Sorvak replied.

"Good, good" Teravicus said. "Soon the war shall commence once more and this time, I shall be the victor!"

Deep in space, away from the Void and Earth, a black ship, so black that it almost blended in with its surroundings, could be seen floating. There were small lights around the ship, indicating that it was functional. Inside, the same masked man could be seen walking down a hallway, his halberd in his right hand. Soon he entered a room that had a long table with seven chairs, three on the right and three on the left with one at the end.

The masked being sat down in the chair at the end of the table. Then he pressed a button and images began to shimmer in the other chairs. Soon images of people began to appear, six people, one in each chair.

The one at the far right spoke first, "How long has it been? How long since we've all come together like this?"

"10,000 years, that's how long it's been." The man on the left in the middle replied.

The one on the left who was close to the masked man then spoke. "So I assume everything went exactly as planned?"

The masked man nodded, "Yes everything is going just as I predicted."

"So what is our next step?" The man in the middle on the right asked.

The masked man pulled out his book and began to read it as he spoke. "Now we must make preparations, gather forces and tie up any loose ends. Because…" He paused to close his book. "…in 9,000 years."

Well that's the last chapter. I hope you all enjoyed this story. I'm not sure when I'll have the sequel up because I'll be working on my book.
