In the vast expanse of the Multiverse, there exists a world where the Era of the Gods is at its end. However, one Hero remains after all his brethren have fallen in the last war. He is the strongest of his kind and the most powerful. He is the Hero of Olympus, the Bane of Titans, Slayer of Giants, Foe of All Things Evil, Defender of the Weak and Innocent, he is Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon, and the Last Son of Olympus. And so, the once mighty Gods of Olympus call him to Olympus one final time.
    Our hero can be seen sitting against a tall pine tree on a hill overlooking a seemingly normal summer camp. However, if you were to listen closely, there would be an odd silence in the air. It is empty of the voices that once filled this camp. The old Trainer of Heroes Chiron approaches him. "Percy," Chiron says gently, "the Gods request your presence on Olympus." Chiron finishes. Percy looks over at Chiron and notices he looks frail and weak. Chiron had seemed to age fifty years, no longer looking in his mid-thirties, but late eighties.
    "What's going on, Chiron? Why now do the Gods request my presence when they could have simply waved a hand and have me there? Why do you look so... so old and weak?" Percy asks in concern.
    Chiron smiles tiredly, "This is the End of our Pantheon, my boy. The Gods are the weakest they have ever been, and you are the lone survivor of the two wars. The Gods wish to give you the last of their power, and send you to a new world before we all fade. A world where the power and influence of the Gods still exists, but hasn't been commanded in decades since they withdrew from the world. But... I'm sure they can tell you more. Before you go, I want you to take my bow. And remember: Go forth in the name of Olympus!" Chiron holds out his bow, and Percy takes it, and slings it over his shoulder. Percy gives Chiron a hug, the last one he'll get from his first real father figure. Chiron pats his back, and steps back.
    "Go now, my boy. The Gods will make sure your name is in the history books." Chiron walks back down to the Big House.
    "I'm going to miss you, Chiron!" Percy calls, then walks down the hill to the road, disappearing into the sunset. Chiron lifts up his hand in salute and farewell.

    Percy steps out of the taxi and pays the driver, then enters the Empire State Building. He walks up to the desk guard and holds out his hand. The desk man gives him the card without a word. Percy walks to the elevator and enters it, puts the card in the slot, and presses the button for the 600th floor. He smiles sadly, reminiscing about the first time he heard the song that was playing. He had just finished his first quest with Annabeth and Grover. The doors open, and he steps out onto the platform to the always amazing and breathtaking city of Olympus. He looks around at the glistening fountains, each one spewing the most crystal clear and cleanest water he had ever seen. He looks at the palaces standing tall and magnificent, each one having their own unique flair. Athena's palace looks like a mix of a modern library and an ancient temple. Apollo's palace shines as bright as the sun itself. Percy walks confidently, head held high towards the throne room. He passes the Muses' stage and notices they are playing a sad melody. They stop as he walks by, and approach him. They each hug him, and give him a kiss on the cheek in farewell. They step back as he continues to walk. Along the way he sees Kratos, the god of Power and Strength. Kratos salutes him, and subtly transfers the last of his strength to him. Percy salutes him back and keeps walking. Phobos and Deimos take away his fears and panic as he walks by them. Percy feels as if with each step, he becomes stronger and more powerful. Thanatos bans him from death, making him immortal.
    Elsewhere, as Percy enters the throne room of Olympus, The great Titan Atlas transfers to him his eternal endurance. The great sea deities before the rule of Poseidon, gave Percy their power over the seas, marking him as the one true King of the Seas. Unknown to Percy, the deities of the greco-roman pantheon are transferring their power and some gifts unto him. As Percy steps into the throne room of Olympus, he grows a few inches taller and his muscles become more defined. Percy kneels before the once all-mighty Olympians. He looks around at the Gods, noticing that their aura seems to be weak.
    "Rise, Perseus, and stand before us as equals. You have earned it." Zeus rumbles. Percy stands and observes the room. He notices that Hestia, Hades, and Hecate are present as well. He meets the eyes of his father, and immediately knows what is going on. He's seen his father look like this before.
    "My Lords and Ladies, I humbly ask to know what is going on. I feel as if I am thirty times more powerful than I was when I first arrived." Percy states, kind of confused. Zeus nods to Poseidon, and Poseidon begins explaining.
    "My son, we are finally fading. We have called you here to transfer the Might of Olympus into you, and send you to another Earth, where the forces of Light and Dark still fight. Not in the shape of Heroes and monsters, Gods and Titans, no. It takes the form of super powered beings fighting for good and evil alike. We are sending you there to be a Hero, as it is in your blood. However, we ask you to claim the Relics of Olympus on that Earth and take them for yourself. As for why you are more powerful, that is a question for Zeus to answer." Poseidon says in a resigned tone.
    Zeus speaks up, "Our pantheon has given you abilities you will need in order to stay alive in the next Earth. Now it is time for us Olympians to give you our power, and the Might of Olympus."
    "I understand, Father, Uncle." Percy says confidently. The gods stand and lift their hands. They begin speaking in Ancient Greek so fast he can't comprehend. He begins to glow with power, and he gains armor and a cape. The glow dies down, and almost all the gods are gone except for the original six and Hecate.
    Hecate speaks for the first time, "I will open a portal for you to the next Earth. It will take all my remaining energy and transport you to where the power of Olympus is strongest." She raises her hands and speaks an incantation. A green glowing portal appears.
    "Go forth in the name of Olympus, Perseus Jackson, Last Son of Olympus!" the original six gods exclaim in unison. Percy looks at his godly family for one last time, and steps through the portal.
