In The last Olympian by Rick Riordan, Percy and all of the camp-half blood campers defend Olympus from Kronos’ army. At one point only Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Grover and Chiron stood against Kronos. In a nick of time Nico, and his father Hades, come to fight Kronos and protect Olympus. With Hades’ arrival, it threw a wrench in Kronos’ plans.

Over thousands of years ago the gods over threw Kronos and the titans. Since then, Kronos has been plotting to take over Olympus and regain control. So, while the gods were away fighting Typhoon, he planed an attack to destroy Olympus, not knowing of the demi-gods protecting it. After days of fighting, finally the demi-god forces were diminished, and Kronos though he had won. Then, when all hope was lost, Nico and Hades came to the aid of the protectors of Olympus.

Once Nico and Hades arrived, they summoned a dead army from the underworld to fight the titan’s army. They were able to stop Kronos’ army from sacking Olympus, even though they let Kronos and his assistant, Ethan, through. Because of Hades actions, the other gods congratulated him. But, if Hades and Nico would have not aided in Olympus’ defense, the outcome of the battle could have been very different.

Hades and Nico were the game-changers in the battle, because they would have not stopped Kronos’ army. Olympus surely would have fallen with hundreds of rogue soldiers tearing the place apart. Only five people would have been able to fight, which against an army, they did not have very good odds.

Without Hades’ arriving, the outcome of the battle would have resulted in Kronos’ victory.
