As the world caves in, all is equal in death. It doesn't matter if you're a Human, Demigod, or even the Gods, we are all equal in death. It had been 2 years since a virus had spread rapidly across the world. This virus was unorthodox. It mutated ones' DNA to an extent that they were no longer human. Scientific evidence that organisms cannot mutate in life were shattered. In the break of the end of the world, the natural human instinct of the fear of being alone had caused multiple different factions across the globe. Gods from every pantheon had gone no contacted with their children and followers, however their powers still proved strong. Worryingly, the Mist fell after a year proving deadly even as monsters had gone underground when the virus came around except a select few still roamed however the mortals could now see them.

Camp Half-blood had moved from the isolated Long Island peninsula to the heavily fortified Camp Jupiter, a scale of migration not seen since the gods moved from old world to the New World. All the demigods were unified in war. Old Rivalries between campers' hunters and all were halted for the greater danger of the infected. The demigods had to adapt to the new threats, in so they had to learn how to wield handguns, snipers, LMGs, Rifles and other weapons in place of their traditional swords and spears.

And now, this is time that we introduce our protagonist.

As Percy walked around, their new home, he could hear the sentry duty laying down bullets into the zombies that started to line at the gate.

Percy sat down on a bench and started to think back.

-Flashback—

It was the second month after the outbreak. All that was left of the seven, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, and Piper went out on the streets as they had to scavenge for some more food, since the Gods closed Olympus to the demigods, the nymphs and nature spirits had also retreated to Olympus or to other Gods domains.

The four demigods had come across some Swarmers, it was nothing more than a small group of stragglers so with grim determination they all got out their demigod weapons and managed to sneak attack them, they managed to break into a store that food, as they started to take the food. Some mortals had spotted them and unholstered their weapons, the mortals managed to kill Annabeth and Jason, and managed to hurt Piper and Percy. As the two got hit, Percy shook the ground, as Piper got as much food as their bags could carry, Percy grabbed her shoulder and mist travelled them back to the safety of Camp Half-Blood.

They took the food to the makeshift kitchen they had made, and as soon as they were alone, both grieved the loose of their partners. As the next day rolled around, Percy mopped around a bit, he did still try and keep his morale up but failed, even the campers tried to cheer him up and it didn't work.

-end flashback—

Percy stood up from the bench, his eyes full of tears from the memory, he started to walk around camp, he ran into his cousins, Thalia and Nico, "Hey" He said, the two gave a nod. They walked around in silence, they had lost a few other demigods to a swarm when they were out in San Francisco.

Percy walk back to his and Nico's cabin, they both entered, Percy sat down and let out a sigh, and then laid down on his bed. Nico, laid on his bed.

Thalia, walked over to her makeshift cabin, where all the hunters of Artemis were staying, many had chosen to give their hunter's life up and take a romance as they didn't know if they would see another day and nobody knew if the virus would go away. Thalia, took her hunters uniform off, she put the LT tiara down as she got into her death to Barbie T-shirt and some jeans, she walked, she chose to quit, she went and joined Piper in her cabin.

The two demigoddess nodded at each other, and took a bed each.

Night fell, there was still sentry guards on duty, as the swarmers got more powerful at night, they had LMGs stationed on the guard duties. The tunnel by the Little Timber had been blocked by cars. They had played bear traps to trap any swarmers or any animals that would come through it, they had built a wooden bridge over the Little Timber, they had but barbed wire on it, to trap any enemies that would come. The demigods also had farms where New Rome used to be, they adapted to becoming self-sufficient. The guns they had were stolen from various places, such as National Guard armouries, and mortal camps that had been setup. The Golden fleece was on a tree around the cabins and armoury. Along the beach of Camp Jupiter was a wall, watch towers and barbed wires ever since the Mist fell, the demigods had to be on high alert with who they trusted as some mortals wanted to help them where as other mortal wanted to kill them as they blamed the demigods for the virus.

The next morning, anyone that wasn't on guard duty, had breakfast together, even though Olympus was closed so they had no contact with their parents, they still sent offerings to their godly parents, in hope one day that Zeus would allow contact again. As the demigods finished eating, demigods split off to their duties, the infirmary, the farms, and guard duty. Today, it was Percy's and Nico's turn to go find some food, weapons and materials. They headed over to the stables, they both got into Blackjack, Percy stroked Blackjacks mane "Let's go." Blackjack neighed, and said in Percy's mind "Yes Boss." As they soared through the sky, Percy rolled his eyes, "Not even the end of the world as we know it will stop you calling me Boss will it?" it came out more as a statement than a question. Blackjack neighed, "No, Boss." Percy rolled his eyes again, Nico who was still terrified of flying on a Pegasi, the son of Hades had his arms around Percy, he practically was clinging on to him for dear life, Percy was scouting around, he spotted a Target and told Percy to land on the roof, then to flee until Percy called for him again.

Blackjack did as Percy asked, as he landed, both Percy and Nico got off, they both had a firearm, their swords and a shotgun, as well as a flashlight and Nico shadow travelled them into the store, there was a still a variety of food. They grabbed them however as they did, some mortal came in "Demigods come out!" One yelled, Percy and Nico hid behind a counter, as the mortals looked around for them and shot in the demigods direction, Percy peaked out of his cover and got a few lucky shots on the demigods, he then went over and searched the mortals and grabbed a few things and they made their way to the roof again, Percy whistled for Blackjack.
