PERCY

After defeating Gaea and the giants, we thought that all of our troubles were over. The Greek and Roman camps were at peace, the monsters were running for the hills, and I thought I would finally be able to enjoy some alone time with my girlfriend Annabeth. Then a new kid arrived at camp, one with a unique origin. Not long after he showed up a dark shadowy being came threatening the end of the world, and Rachael Dare, our oracle, spoke a prophecy that sounded even worse than what the shadow guy said.

JAMES

All of my life I had been a hunter, but not the kind that shoots buck. I and the rest of my massive extended family spent our lives hunting down demons, vampires, and other creatures of darkness. Then one day my mother took me to Long Island, New York, where we were attacked by Cyclopes and I ended up in a camp for Greek demigods. I was told that I was going to get claimed by one of these pagan deity guys, but instead I was claimed by someone very different. As it turns out, I'm the son of Michael the Archangel, making me a Nephilim. I've begun to develop a host of new powers that I don't understand, and things are not going well.

CARTER

After a previous confrontation with a Greek demigod named Percy, my sister and I began to investigate the possibility of the Greek myths being real. My sister and I were confronted by a shadowy specter, and then Percy called me through the magical hieroglyph I had drawn on his hand. I came to help, only to find that we had been called on a quest. Taking my flying boat pulled by my griffon Freak, I left with Jason, the son of Jupiter, Percy, the son of Poseidon, and James, the son of Michael.

JASON

So we went off together, heading to Utah. There we were supposed to meet a man named John. Along the way we were attacked by a bunch of mortals possessed by demons. When we arrived in Salt Lake City in Utah, we split up to search. Percy was followed by a demon while Carter and I fell under the influence of two of the demons known as the Seven Deadly Sins, Pride and Wrath to be specific.

On the other side of the city James had a talk with John, who turned out to be one of the original Twelve Apostles who were with Christ. After James came and used some cool new Nephilim power to free our minds, John came and told us that the demons were trying to jumpstart the Apocalypse, and that the first Horseman of the Apocalypse, War, was already up and about. Now we need to head to Vatican City, were apparently some powerful holy weapons are hidden that we can use to stop the end of the world. Let's hope nothing goes wrong along the way. Because that never happens.
