The Battle of Champions.

The beginning of the End.

"I refuse."

Two words that had never been heard on Olympus before. Especially, words that were spoken when talking to the King of the Gods. The Sunlight coming through the windows vanished, fleeing in terror. The winds outside stilled, so much so that the world itself seemed to weigh down on all present. Thunder surged in the distance high above, a deafening roar even from far away. The scent of ozone filled the air, and the skies outside were dark, glowering down at the world below.

Within the throne room of Olympus, tension didn't just hang in the wind. It dug its nails into everyone present, whether they were a god, or not. Sitting on the thrones of Olympus, are the Greek deities, with Zeus at their head. Hades and Hestia joined them there. And their guests are just as divine in presence, if not more. Odin, the King of Asgard made his presence known, and Ra, the Pharaoh of Egypt and God of the Sun watched silently. Each god has their own representatives in both the godly, and mortal aspects.

The representatives of the Norse Pantheon were 5 of the heroes who assisted in stopping the End of the World prophecy, Ragnarok. The greatest dwarf of the modern Era, Blitzen is present, joined by his companion Hearthstone; a student of Odin and the greatest Elven mage in history. The children of Loki, Samirah Al-Abbas and Alex Fierro are also present. Leading their charge, is Alex's boyfriend, and the Son of Frey, Magnus Chase.

The representatives of the Egyptian Pantheon are the 4 heroes that stopped the descent of Apophis, defeating his army and reawakening their supreme god, Ra. The host of Anubis and an expert of artifacts, Walt Stone is present. Joining him is the current host of Ra, the fiery Zia Rashid. Leading that charge are the Kane siblings, the ones who this journey began with. Walt's girlfriend and the host of Isis, the most destructive sorceress of the modern era, Sadie Kane. And right beside her, is the current Pharaoh, having stepped up to claim his throne after defeating Apophis. He is the host of Horus, Carter Kane.

And of course, the gracious hosts have champions of their own. From the Roman side, they have Reyna Avila-Ramirez Arellano, one of the most prolific Praetors of New Rome, and the daughter of Bellona. Accompanying her are the current praetors, and the Pontifex Maximus. One half of the current Praetors, the son of Mars, Frank Zhang. His partner, is the daughter of Pluto, Hazel Levesque. With them of course, is the champion of Rome. The favored hero of Juno, and the son of Jupiter, Jason Grace.

And with them, come the vicious and legendary Greeks as well. Starting with the warrior born from flames and master blacksmith, Leo Valdez. With him is the daughter of Aphrodite, the one born with the gift of Charmspeak, Piper McLean. Next is the current lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis, the princess of lightning and Jason's older sister. The daughter of Zeus, Thalia Grace. Her cousin is right beside her. The Ghost King, and the master of shadows. The son of Hades, Nico Di'Angelo.

Right in the front, just beside their leader is the greatest strategist of the modern era. The smartest demigoddess of all time, and the greatest daughter Athena has ever had. One of the three demigods to have survived Tartarus, Annabeth Chase. Next to her, is her boyfriend. The leader of this modern era of demigods, and the greatest demigod of all time. The prince of the seas, and the demigod who fought toe to toe with the King of the titans. He is the son of Poseidon, Perseus Jackson.

"I'll say it once again, just in case you didn't hear it the first time." Percy spoke, standing tall regardless of the immense pressure around them. He stood in front, hands crossed and staring up at Zeus himself, unafraid. "I'm done fighting for you, and in no way am I letting you go ahead with this stupid plan of killing all mortals."

"You dare to disrespect Zeus-"

"Shut up Hera." Percy snapped, glaring at her. "If it were up to me, we would have never rescued you. So how about you sit there and shut up, or I make sure you don't wake up tomorrow."
