Legends never die

Prologue

Cole Macgrath clutched the blue spherical device in his hand. It was strange. The device he was holding that was about to kill him felt exactly like the device that put him in this diabolical situation in the first place. "Huh then ending is so much like the beginning" Cole thought. He took a deep breath as he stared down at the humming RFI. He was about to ignite it when he heard a familiar voice that sounded like a whimper, he turned to the source of the sound and saw a coughing and worn out Lucy Kuo crying her eyes out. Even though it was necessary for Cole to stop her from destroying the RFI he felt overwhelming guilt about what he had done to his friend. It wasn't her fault that she attacked him and sided with the beast, the latter that was leaning on the ground groaning. She was just scared for her life, as was he.

Cole then heard her say something. "Do it" she coughed "just do it she said again her hand was resting on a brick wall for support, she then fell and broke into a violent coughing fit . Cole quickly ran to her aid and helped her to her feet.

"It's okay" Cole said quietly but reassuringly, although Cole himself knew he was lying when he said those words. I t wasn't going to be okay, well not for people like him anyway.

"You made the right choice" she snivelled "hell even Nix made the right choice" referring to the conduit that had given her life to give Cole more time to charge the RFI. "a heroic act" Cole thought "and so out of character for someone like Nix, but then again Kuo chose the selfish action by choosing to side with the beast and save herself, again very out of character for someone as selfless as Kuo".

"I was… I am scared". Kuo said as she looked up at Cole.

"I am too" Cole said in a final tone.

Kuo continued to sob, "Do it, do it" she whispered

Cole let go of her and walked towards the beast who was on his knees with his head slouched down. He clutched the RFI and took one last deep breath then proceeded to charge up. Electricity soon covered his whole body and the RFI was shaking violently. He now had all the energy he needed. All he needed to do now was let it all go. He thoughtfully reflected on all the past things that happened this year. The ray sphere, empire city, Trish dying, the blast and what Kessler ha done to prepare him. "so this is what it comes down to, this is how it ends" thought Cole. "Zeke, Trish, Kuo, Nix I do this for you. And yes even for you Kessler". Cole laughed to himself, he never thought he would be thanking Kessler although if it hadn't of been for him the World would have suffered the same fate as the one Kessler had experienced years ago. "You're a bastard Kessler, that won't ever change, but you had to do what you had to do. Just like me".

The RFI was now more than fully charged, it was ready to ignite. "Alright, I'm done" Cole said to himself.

Cole released the energy and yelled. The RFI created a massive stream of light that shone through right up to the sky and expanded. The sky turned from a dark orange to a blinding white. Strangely enough Cole didn't feel like he was dying, not like when he ha tried to fire the RFI off before. He looked over towards the beast that was groaning deep inarticulate cries of rage as he was being slowly disintegrated by the energy that the RFI created. Cole suddenly felt himself being pulled towards something "what?" he thought. "is this supposed to happen?" In that moment of confusion Cole was suddenly pulled right out of the atmosphere above the sky. "What the hell!" he was being pulled straight into the pool of white light that the RFI was emitting. As soon as he entered the pool of white light he vanished from view completely.

Zeke was watched, as Cole was pulled straight up into the brilliant white light assuming that this was what was supposed to happen. "Goodbye brother, I'm sure gonna miss you" he said as the light eventually faded away. Little could Zeke know that Cole was alive and well. Just not around.

Cole awoke to finding himself falling from the sky. "What I'm still alive"? He said abruptly. He looked down. He couldn't pinpoint where he was but he saw the outline of tall buildings come into view as gravity took him down to the surface. "How is this possible? where the hell am I" he thought. Cole sensed his surroundings for electrical energy. There was quite a lot but nowhere near what he was used to. "well I guess I'll live" he thought. He attempted to float gently down to the ground by activating his static thrusters but was surprised to find that they weren't working. "no!" Cole thought. He knew the fall wouldn't kill him but from the height he fell from it would sure do damage. Realizing that he couldn't do anything to resolve the situation he braced himself and prepared for impact "man this is going to hurt" he cringed. He landed with a giant thud on to the ground in the middle of a large metropolis like city creating a small crater and shocking several people around him. Cole felt an immense amount of pain before he completely blacked out.
