A/N: Yes, that title is spelled correctly. This may or may not be the last chapter minus an epilogue. Sorry for the lack of warning.

Percy Jackson P.O.V.
Everyone reached the borders, and all Hades broke loose.
It was a surprise attack, we were tired and didn't expect Satan, Set, Thanatos, and Gaia to attack at exactly this moment with armies full of Fallen Angels, demons, Greek, Egyptian, and Roman monsters.
Thankfully, the six Romans I asked for picked that exact moment to fly in on a golden chariot as a blonde superman flew beside them raising an eagle staff and screaming something about twelve legs and a full piñata.
I think they just beat Zeus/Jupiter in dramatic entrances.
"Reyna, Jason, Piper, Frank, Leo, and Hazel. Nice to see that you could finally join us." (Just go with them being Romans. At this point I can't make the greeks greeks.)
"Sorry our teddy bear killing oracle convinced most of New Rome not to help. We managed to get these Legionaries though." Jason said, gesturing to the four others as Reyna rolled her eyes exasperatedly.
"At least you came. That's all that matters." I said encouragingly.
"Percy, I hate to stop introductions but we have the largest army we have ever faced about to break through the magic barriers of Camp Half Blood." Annabeth said, getting everyone back to business.
"Right. Campers, Hunters, Wolves- okay EVERYONE- we are here today to save not only ourselves, but also the world. If we fail, the world as we know it ends. So now, on that happy note, lets kick evil's butt so us kids and teenagers can possibly see peace in our lifetimes!" I yelled, attempting to motivate basically every creature possible.
At that everyone gave out an immense battle cry, and charged at the insane evil conglomeration attacking our doorstep.
I noticed Carter and Sadie killing all types of Egyptian creatures that I could not even begin to describe as Leo, Jason, Frank, Hazel, and Reyna went to help them, as they had the least backup.
I ran to attack an undead greek warrior, Theseus, as Sadie battled a very familiar looking alligator while pulling objects out of seemingly thin air.
Artemis and Athena led the hunters in the battle against thousands of monsters and undead soldiers like the one that just attempted to impale me before I cut off its head, causing the legendary hero to dissolve into grey dust. Noticing our struggle, Hylla led the Amazons into the fight against the undead and monsters like Kelli and Medusa.
Alpha and Omega were battling Gaia, but were slowly being entrapped by quicksand that was even inescapable by turning into a shadow. Omega attempted to summon monsters from Tarturus, but immediately switched to battling Krystal instead of their fellow monsters.
Nico ran up to me as I was finishing off evil Achilles, whom Annabeth swiftly stabbed through the zombie chest from behind.
"Saw ya needed help," she taunted before winking at me and turning to fight back to back with me.
"What's up Shadow Dude." I asked to Nico.
"Oh nothing much Aquaman. Just the fact that every soldier and monster we kill almost immediately reforms due to Thanatos assisting Gaia."
I groaned as Annabeth relayed a brilliant strategy to me via mind message.
I gasped, kissed her on the lips and ran off screaming "I love you Annabeth! Aphrodite cabin and Piper on me!"
The requested people fought their way to me as I mowed down monsters that kept reforming and killing off campers. They looked to me ready for orders, astounded to be seen as useful in a fight.
"What's the plan Perce?" Piper asked.
"How many of you can charmspeak?"
Piper and Drew raised their hands, as well as about four others. That left about ten campers without the ability.
"Those who can't return to the fight." I said, defeating the same Dracanae for the fourth time.
"Okay so you have the charmspeakers. What now?" Drew Tanaka asked, jutting out her hip as she ducked the clawing hands of an Empousa.
"I need you guys to help me convince Thanatos to rejoin our side. It's a line in the prophecy. 'Alliances shall be torn and born.'" I said, as their eyes bugged out remarkably in an unattractive way.
My eyes glowed golden and my tattoos matched as I said the part about the prophecy, proving the truth to my words.
"Will that stop all these zombies?" A guy asked.
"I think so." I said, making my way through the mixture of evil beings.
I saw Aña and Alexander fighting back to back, their respective daggers and swords pure arcs of destruction as they cut down Fallen Angels and demons, who were strangely also reforming.
I watched helplessly as Satan stabbed his blood red sword through the back of an unsuspecting Alabaster.
Amatria gave an uncharacteristic cry of pain as she watched him fall, and I saw a million emotions flash through her eyes at once, something that shouldn't be possible for an emotionless Angel.
She wasted no time in charging Satan/Lucifer as their contrasting golden and red swords met between the two, sparking a small explosion to emit from their battling blades.
I passed them as I made my way through the army, finally reaching Thanatos.
"I have a question for you Thanatos." I yelled.
"And what would that be, Perseus Jackson?" He hissed through clenched teeth.
"Why did you join Gaia?" I asked.
"Yeah," Piper began using the velvety powers of her voice, "Hazel, Frank, and I saved you from her chains barely two months ago! What do you have to gain from this war aside from more work?" She exclaimed powerfully.
"Gaia offered me something I could not refuse." He stated simply, although I noticed his eyes were glazed over.
Drew noticed that as well. "He is not under his own control! Something is influencing him!" She yelled, as the six charmspeakers began their tricky job of forcing him to the good side. I told them to offer him blue cookies, but they ignored my sensible request.
It was at that exact moment that a black flash emitted from elsewhere on the battlefield, and I turned to see Satan fading away with Amatria's glinting golden sword through his heart, as sobs wracked her body.
I smiled wryly and turned back to Thanatos, whose eyes had unglazed and was looking around at the battlefield in a very confused manner. "Why am I here? So many souls that should be in Hades..." he trailed off, pulling an iPad out of a pocket and tapping away.
The dead began to stay dead as Thanatos tsked away shaking his head, surveying the blood stained battleground.
With the dead staying dead, I ran over to help the struggling Romans and Egyptians with Set, noticing Annabeth destroying anything that came near her dagger of destruction and Nico doing the same with his sword. I couldn't spot the rest of the godly Pack, there was simply no time.
I turned into a glowing golden shadow in the darkness of night as a hurricane gathered around me.
Sadie had merged with Isis, Carter was a huge avatar, Leo was on fire, Frank was a dragon, Jason was surrounded by wind and electricity in the sky, Hazel was throwing razor sharp diamonds everywhere, and Reyna was riding Skippio and stabbing any enemy in sight.
I'm not sure how Set survived as long as he did, but suddenly everyone blasted him with some sort of power at once and he was blown into the huge fist of Carter Kane. I then stabbed Set through the heart and he disappeared in a flash of red light, and the others all went to destroy the remaining Egyptian monsters.
With Set, Satan, and Thanatos gone from battle, the demons, Fallen, and Egyptian monsters were nearly decimated. The only thing left was Gaia, greek monsters, and a bunch of Earthborn giants.
That's when I finally spotted the rest of the Pack. Annabeth and Nico stood beside me, and Krystal had been injured, placing her away from the battle.
Omega, Alpha, and Louisa were being held in the muddy grasp of Gaia.
Muddy because Lou was surrounded in a Hurricane.
My heart nearly stopped, as Gaia ruthlessly grabbed my twin sister by the throat.
"I hate being runny. You get to die first. Say goodbye to your twin sister, Percy Jackson." The evil mother earth snarled, as she stabbed Louisa through the neck, decapitating her as I attempted to teleport to Gaia's inhuman clutches.
A sob wracked my body as I saw what was left of the twin sister I had only just reunited with and remembered.
"No one else will die in this war." I suddenly decided, a rage unlike any other overtaking my body.
I was vaguely aware of the awol gods suddenly appearing after most of the carnage had already been dealt with. Typical.
"NO. ONE. ELSE. CAN. DIE!" I screamed, realizing that we had suffered the loss of seven hunters, an Angel, twenty-one campers, one pack member and goddess, as well as eighteen Amazons and one Roman- Leo had fallen battling the Chimera, two gorgons, a sphinx, eight Empousa, and a Fury at the same time.
The only thing I knew at that moment was that this war could not continue. It had to end, and it had to end now.
"NO ONE ELSE!" I exclaimed, as my body was engulfed in a silver, sea green, and golden light brighter than anything else I had ever experienced.
My only thoughts were those of justice and peace.
I wasn't sure what was happening, but as the light faded from my body I collapsed to the ground.
And every evil being was dead.
It began to rain, and it appeared as though it were washing the evil from the very earth, leaving only peace behind.
I blacked out, but the last thing I saw was Annabeth leaning over me with tears in her beautiful grey eyes.
~Time Skip Bob here, signing off for the last time. Mir and I are engaged now.~
Percy Jackson P.O.V.
I woke up with a major headache in the throne room of the gods.
Everyone was staring at me with a mixture of awe and sadness.
Annabeth helped me up, and we faced the gods together.
When Ares smiled at me, I knew something was up.
"Congratulations, son. You managed to destroy every monster and evil being anywhere close to your power blast. Although, there were some complications..." Poseidon trailed off.
"What sort of complications?" I responded dully, remembering those we lost.
"Well dearest Percy, after healing the evil in us gods, destroying every monster, and killing Gaia, your powers have been spent. You are no longer a god, but a mortal with only the powers of one of Artemis's werewolves." Lady Hestia informed me.
"Oh. Wait, I did all of that?!"
Everyone laughed at me, and Omega said "Which is why we the Guardian Wolves have stepped down from our place as gods."
"Okay then." I stated.
"Are you not saddened Perseus?" Athena asked me.
"I have most of my family and the war is over, so considering the fact that I'm miraculously still alive after using up that much power, no. I'm not sad about losing my powers or my place as a god- or King of them."
Everyone just marveled at me for a moment.
"So is all of this really over now?" I asked.
"Well let's see." Annabeth started.
"The gods will burn."
"Check, Olympus was literally on fire." Aña surprisingly said.
"To Wolf the world shall turn." Krystal said.
"Ha! Definite check!" Omega called out.
"Alliances shall be torn and born." I supplied.
"Check. New alliances: all of us. Torn ones: Thanatos to Gaia."
"New leaders will arise from the old." Nico said.
"Yeah, definite check!" I snickered.
"The seas will be united." Annabeth said slowly.
"Louisa and I." I said, hanging my head. There was a moment of silence.
"One will save mankind, to the other the power will turn." Athena finished.
"I guess I saved mankind, and when I used up all my power..." I trailed off.
"It is true." Hades spoke up. "Louisa is in Elysium with all of Percy's powers. Not that they are of much use." He said in a lowered tone.
After a few moments pf awkward silence, the remaining three Angels came up to me and gave me a hug. "Thank you Perseus, for allowing us to feel for the first time. Now we can truly serve God." Alexander said, before all of them nodded to the campers and gods before jumping up and flying off of Olympus, their work done now that Lucifer had been neutralized and sent back to the depths of Hell.
Carter and Sadie were then teleported back to the House of Life, saying something about a monkey and basketball.
Then it was just the Greeks and Romans left.
As is customary, the gods gave gifts to those deserving recognition. All in all, the ancient law of visiting children was lifted, Hestia and Hades were added to the council, the friendly titans like Calypso were actually freed, more cabins were to be made at CHB, the Romans would not be shunned in New Rome, and Frank and Hazel had their curses lifted.
Then the gods turned to me.
"Perseus Jackson!" Zeus thundered.
"Yes, uncle." I said calmly.
"What is your wish? Again I offer you anything, but since you already had and gave up godhood, what would you like?" Zeus questioned.
I looked up at the council, my father, and saw how far everyone had come thanks to me. They were finally a family again. I was done fighting in wars.
I looked back to Zeus with tired eyes full of hope, and hugged Annabeth tightly.
"Lord Zeus, my wish is for peace."
A/N: That's it. All that's left is the epilogue. Thank you all for going on this amazing adventure with me.
