Hey, I recently re-read my story and found it too…childish. I decided to edit it, and there are a few name changes and I also thought of giving my OC's some background before they come to Olympus. Here's to character development! And before I forget, it's no longer 40 years in the future. It's during the time Kronos takes control of Luke. And I added a new character in.

Lightning flashed across the grey sky as a tall figure in a hooded jacket walked into the marble mansion. He stepped in slowly, so as to not have his footsteps echo in the huge hallway. He undid his jacket, revealing long dyed white hair going upwards like a terrified cat that had just been electrocuted and hung the jacket on the clothes hanger. His electric blue eyes showed anger, which seemed to reflect on the angry sky. He slowly made his way to his bedroom, shut the door behind him and switched on the light. 'Where were you Achilles?' a voice asked, making the said Achilles jump three feet in the air. 'Gods, do you always have to startle me like that, Theseus? Why aren't you in bed?' he questioned, glaring at the 18 year old. 'Why don't you answer me first, airhead? Where were you?' Theseus counter-questioned, his sea green eyes piercing deep into his older brothers soul. 'I'm not answerable to you' Achilles snapped as he changed into his night clothes. 'You were thinking about your dad weren't you?' Theseus asked, his expression softening. 'Yeah, were you?' Achilles answered, as he looked sadly at the overcast sky glaring at him from the glass roof of his bedroom. 'Not really. But I do wish I could spend time with him, I don't even know what he looks like.' Theseus mumbled, shifting his feet. 'You look just like him, except for your hair. You got mums hair' Achilles said and ruffled his half-brothers hair just to annoy him. Theseus glared and smacked his hand off his curly black hair saying 'Go stick your fingers up a socket or something'. 'You're in my bedroom remember?' Achilles smirked and pushed Theseus out. 'Get some sleep.' He said and waved his brother to his half aquarium half bedroom, which was literally submerged into the ocean they lived nearby.

Meanwhile, in the basement slash bedroom, the prank haven of the twins, Lilly-Anne and Zephyr, mini explosions were taking place. 'Do you think it'll be enough to make our favourite big brothers wet their pants?' Lilly asked, frowning at their concoctions. 'Of course it will. It made you jump, didn't it?' Zephyr smirked, only to get a whack on the head by his twin sister. 'Get on with it, zombie.' She growled, though her midnight black eyes twinkled with amusement. 'I'll get the metal cases from Julie. These potions are too unstable to be kept in glass…I hope she finished them.' She said as she eyed the colourful liquids snapping and popping like an angry quicksand swallowing something it didn't like. With a swish of her long black hair she trudged up the stairs and grabbed her sweater from the undead as it held it out to her.

She banged her older sisters' bank-vault like door. 'What!?'Julie-Anne snapped as she opened the door, her curly black hair, like Theseus', sticking to her forehead, covered with sweat from working in the heat. Her hands were on fire, but she didn't seem to be very bothered by it. 'I…I just came f…for the containers' Lilly stammered, scared by her half-sisters angry brown eyes. 'Sorry for snapping. I'm just annoyed that my automatons are taking so long to finish.' Julie apologized. She went in and came out with a box containing steel test tubes. 'There you go. And video tape their reactions for me later 'kay?' She said, smirking as Lilly grinned and dashed off to her waiting twin.

Unfortunately, before anyone could do what they were supposed to do, a huge shrieking wind roared in and slammed the main doors open, rain and dead leaves blowing inside. The sleeping form of Alexander, the baby of the house woke up and wailed for his mother, who was out of town for a business meeting. All the Pieterson children of the house dashed in to comfort the four year old, who was sobbing in fear into is blanket. Achilles tried his hardest to control the suddenly possessed wind, which was howling like a banshee who had caught her dress on fire. But the wind thought otherwise and carried them all out, spinning and screaming into the hideous night sky.

(Don't bother 'bout me, I'm just a line break)

He kept running, his athletic legs growing tired. He had to get off the Princess Andromeda, away from his now possessed father. Tears were streaming from his cheek, as he felt the changes in his blood slowly creeping like a car moving in slow traffic. His dracaena caretaker wailing for him to stop. 'Master Phoebus Castellan! Please stop or your father will make sure I'll spend eternity in Tartarus! Stop!' The five year old didn't listen and hopped into a lifeboat and cut the ropes connecting the boat and the ship before his caretaker could sound the alarm. He felt the boat splash into the ocean and float away slowly. Phoebus remembered when his dad, Luke, taught him to use the motorboat in case of emergencies. But it was all before daddy went to sleep in that ugly coffin and came out a different man. Sure, daddy explained that he'll be going away for sometime but the new guy in daddy's body scared him. He tried bonding with him but the guy who called himself Kronos tried to eat him. That was when all hell broke loose and Phoebus ran off.

As he sped on the boat he curled into a ball and sobbed. He didn't know where he was going, but once he reached a city he'd look for his mother, even though Luke never told him who she was. The other option was to wait in the city until his daddy came back from wherever he was and rescue him. Luke always found Phoebus wherever he was hiding. Phoebus wished time would fly and he'd grow up so that he could take care of himself. He didn't want any adult to pull his cheeks and send him to some creepy foster-house. Or ask him too many questions. He just wanted to be alone. He reached out to wipe his tears but almost screamed at the sight of his hand. Instead of a toddlers hand he saw a young man's. He sniffed and looked into the water to see his reflection and this time he screamed with what was a man's voice. It was as if he was caught in a time warp, he looked himself but older, his honey-blonde hair thick and fell over his eyes. His eyes were the most extraordinary. What was once blue like his father's was now solid gold in colour, the black of his pupil very prominent. Unknowingly Phoebus Castellan, grandson of Hermes and now the adopted 'son' of Kronos had manipulated time and aged himself. He was now an 18 year old youth.*

Phoebus wanted answers but couldn't know how to find them. He hoped to get to the city and ask someone. As the city drew closer he first noticed the storm. He then noticed that he was too close to get away. He boat went faster and faster until it totally went out of his control. He screamed as the boat took off into the air sailing like a plane taking him along with it.

(Don't bother 'bout me, I'm just a line break)

'Father, please calm down, what's done is done. We must focus on helping our children with the upcoming battle' Athena said as Zeus paced back and forth muttering curses at his father. 'Battle? What battle?' Zeus asked surprised. 'Weren't you even listening to us? There have been talks of his army invading the camp through the labyrinth!' Demeter hissed. 'Even Dionysius is aware of that!' Apollo cried. Dionysius nodded from his wine catalogue. 'I'm just worried about Castor and Pollux. Do you think I'd be interested if it weren't for them?' Hermes snorted in response. 'Shut your mouth mail boy, it's because of you son that it all started' Ares growled. Hermes snarled and got up saying 'Say that in my face, coward! I dare you! It was Zeus's idea to prohibit us from connecting with our children!' Apollo and Dionysius took all their godly strength to pull Ares and Hermes apart. 'Quiet! Behave like adults! It's written by the fates and they cannot be challenged. We must put the demigods on the battlefront to destroy the opposition as much as possible' Hera commented. That one comment caused an uproar amongst the gods.

'Sacrilege!'

'We can't afford to lose more lives!'

'They're our children!'

'We must find better means!'

'We can send in automatons!'

The din was silenced by the wails of a child. That was when the gods noticed 7 demigods groaning and getting up. Zeus frowned at the children. 'Will you calm that baby down?' he growled. Artemis frowned at the youths covered in dirt and grime. 'Father, they need to be cleaned.' She said to Zeus. He grunted and pointed at the path leading to the streets. 'Go that way and you'll find the guest rooms. Get dressed and report back here. I want to know why my son looks like he was dragged underground and then roasted on a low flame.' Hermes leaned towards Apollo and whispered 'that blonde boy, is he one of yours? I've seen him before but I'm certain he's not mine.' Apollo closed his eyes for a second and whispered back 'Nope, not mine. But he does remind me of that Luke boy of yours. Same nose and hair.' Hermes frowned and mumbled 'I'll ask him his name later.'

While they were washing up Theseus came up to Achilles excitedly and said 'Hey man, do you think I'll meet my dad here?' Achilles snorted in reply 'He's the god of the seas. Where'd ya think he'd be, here?' Theseus looked hurt. He shuffled his feet and mumbled 'Well, he is an Olympian…' Phoebus came up to them and introduced himself. 'I'm Phoebus. Is your dad a god?' he asked. Zephyr said 'yes' but it came out muffled as he dried his emo like hair with a towel. 'Look! His eyes are golden!' Alex pointed, fascinated by the uncommon eye colour. 'You've got nice eyes' Julie said shyly. Theseus glared at his sister and offered Phoebus his hand. 'Nice to meet you. I'm Theseus.' Phoebus shook it and replied 'Same here. Can I call you Tess?' Theseus shrugged 'I suppose. C'mon, the Olympians will be waiting for us.'

(Don't bother 'bout me, I'm just a line break)

'What's taking them so long?' Zeus muttered impatiently as Poseidon and Hades walked in. Poseidon was looking at his older brother with amusement as he grumped about being disturbed from doing his 'matters of the dead'. 'Zeus, I hope you have a good reason for calling us -me- here.' He said as he conjured up his throne from the underworld. Poseidon nodded in agreement and sat down on his. 'Our 'other' children are here. Chaos knows why the fates dragged their sorry behinds to Olympus in my storm. I just sent them to get cleaned.' The brothers exchanged worried glances as they understood each other's silent conversation. Kronos was much stronger than they thought if the Fates assumed that their other children would help in the upcoming war.

As the children walked in Hermes got an e-mail alert. 'Messssage from those ugly hagssss' George hissed. 'George! Sssspeak nicely of them or you'll be ssssnake assssh' Martha scolded. Hermes gaped like a dying goldfish after he read the mail. 'Well? We don't have all day brother…get it? All day!' Apollo joked. 'Shut up with the horrible puns and listen to what Hermes has to say, Apollo' Artemis scolded. Apollo opened his mouth to argue but Zeus glared him to silence. 'The fates want us to watch a movie!' Hermes finally said, making Lilly spit out the water she was drinking. 'Why? I could do better things.' Hephaestus grumbled. 'It would be nice to relax once in a while. Amphitrite's been on my case about Percy again.' Poseidon said while raising an eyebrow at Theseus who was gawking at him. 'I don't think it's a wise choice, we need to spend our time efficiently drawing battle plans to help our camp!' Athena argued. 'I agree with Lady Athena' Ares said. 'Enough! We will watch the movie, and we're forbidden to help our children unless absolutely necessary. They've been trained well by Chiron to handle situations like this' Zeus snapped, silencing them all. He summoned nymphs to bring chairs for the demigods and ordered them to make themselves known to the gods and goddesses.

Achilles, being the oldest, stepped forward and said 'I'm Achilles Pieterson, 22, son of Zeus and Amethyst Pieterson.' The other Pieterson children followed suit, leaving Phoebus to introduce himself last. Hermes and Apollo bet 10 drachmas each to see whose son he was. He shyly stepped forward and said 'Phoebus Castellan, son of Luke Castellan. I don't know my mom, and Kronos is in my father's body'. Cue deafening silence. All at once there was an uproar in the council. Ares, Artemis, Hera, Hades and Hephaestus wanted to have him killed. Athena immediately silenced them and asked the question which had been nagging most of them. 'You're too old to be Luke's son. How is it that you claim to be his?' she questioned. Phoebus said, his voice quavering 'I…I don't know. I'm supposed to be five and e…even I want to know how I grew up so fast. I was normal until dad went to sleep in a coffin and got up as Kronos. H…he tried to eat me, so I ran away. Since Kronos took over I've felt changes in me. I had blue eyes.' He added that to be more helpful. Athena looked at Apollo expectantly. 'The boy speaks the truth, I sense it' he replied. Hermes expression was unreadable, going from confusion to love to sadness. 'Do you think his powers were transferred to the boy?' Hestia asked. 'It's not exactly transferred; since Kronos took over I think part of Luke's DNA was altered, causing the boy to get his powers as well. And he unknowingly willed himself to age.' Athena mused, pacing back and forth. 'I still say we kill the boy before he goes back to his precious daddy and spills on us' Ares threatened menacingly making Phoebus back away slightly. 'Peace brother. Father, let us discuss of this later. We will do as the fates have suggested.' Hephaestus directed towards Zeus. There were nods of agreement from everyone else and Martha the snake coughed up a CD. An Aura floated by and added it to a projector.

{Greek statues and vases fade in}

Narrator:
Long ago, in the faraway land of ancient Greece, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes. And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Hercules.

'A history lesson? I already know all that' Hades muttered, making Athena glare at him.

[a Greek vase is shown with a picture of Hercules fighting some monster. Vase zooms in slowly] But what is the measure of a true hero? Ah, that is what our story is-

Thalia: Will you listen to him? He's makin' the story sound like some greek tragedy.

'I agree totally' Hermes added, as if it made any difference.

Terpsichore: Lighten up, dude.

"I like her!" Hermes said, laughing but kept shut after receiving a death glare from Apollo.

Calliope: We'll take it from here, darling.

Narrator: You go, girls

Calliope: We are the Muses. Goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of the heroes.

Terpsichore: Heroes like Hercules!

Thalia: Honey, you mean "hunk-ules". Ooh, I'd like to make some sweet music with him-
[Muses start humming]

'This is supposed to be for children' Apollo said, glaring at the movie. 'We know about everything anyways, Lord Apollo' Julie said as she rolled her eyes. Hera muttered something along the lines of "kids these days"

Calliope: Our story actually begins long before Hercules, many eons ago..

*Start Song: The Gospel Truth I" *

[Scene changes colors and the Muses start walking and singing]

Back when the world was new,
The planet Earth was down on its luck.
And everywhere gigantic brutes
called Titans ran amok!
It was a nasty place!
There was a mess wherever you stepped.
Where chaos reigned and earthquakes
and volcanoes never slept!

And then along came Zeus-
He hurled his thunderbolt-
He zapped!
Locked those suckers in a vault!
They're trapped!
And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks.
And that's the gospel truth!

The guy was too type A to just relax.
And that's the world's first dish.
Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth.
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble-
That's the gospel truth!
On mount Olympus life was neat
and smooth as sweet vermouth.
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble-
That's the gospel truth!

{Schematic picture of Olympus zooms in and turns into a real one. While the Muses still repeat their "ah's and yeah's", camera moves up the mountain slope,while it does, the movie title, HERCULES, is shown. Then camera goes inside, passes various chattering gods and finds baby Hercules}

Hera: Hercules! Behave yourself.

"WHAAAAT? I AM SO NOT THAT BRATS MOTHER! I'M COMING TO INCINERATE YOU DISNEY!" Hera shrieked at the movie as Zeus calmed her, while he himself was afraid of her wrath.

[Zeus comes in to play with baby too]

Zeus: Oh, look at this, look how cute he is..
[Zeus babbles at baby Hercules and he catches Zeus by index finger and lifts above his cradle] Hah! Oh, he's strong! Like his Dad, hmm?

'Father was never this joyful about anything' Artemis pointed making Zeus frown.

Hermes (moving through a crowd of gods):
Whoa! Excuse me! Hot stuff coming through! Excuse me one side, Ares.
[Hermes hands Hera a bundle of glowing flowers]

'DUDE! Disney made me so ugly!' Hermes whined. 'I don't know… looks accurate to me' Ares said, grinning, only to receive a punch in his mouth. 'I still like you Grampa' Phoebus said, making Hermes smile like he'd been kissed by Aphrodite.

Hera: Why, Hermes, they're lovely

Hermes: Yeah, you know, I had Orpheus do the arrangement. Isn't that too nutty?

'Suredoes sound like you though' Apollo said with a smile.

(flying closer to Zeus now)
Fabulous party, you know, I haven't seen this much
love in a room since Narcissus discovered himself!
[Narcissus is shown, staring into his mirror and making kissing sounds. Also Baby Hercules gets one of Zeus' lightning and plays with it]

"I hope he destroys himself with it." Hera muttered under her breath.

Hera: Dear, keep those away from the baby.

Zeus: Oh, he won't hurt himself. Let the kid have a little fun!

[Baby Hercules tries to eat the lightning, gets zapped, and throws it away in frustration. Three gods jump away from its path, until Athena hits it with her sword so it hits a pillar, which immediately reappears]

'I never used a sword' Athena said.

Zeus: Oh, on behalf of my son, I want to thank you all for your wonderful gifts

Hera: What about our gift, dear?

"How about eternity in Tartarus?" Hera asked while getting a growl from Zeus.

Zeus: Well, let's see here… we'll take, hmm, yes, a little cirrus, and, hmm, a touch of nimbostratus, and a dash of cumulus.

[Zeus moves his hand with a little pegasus-shaped cloud on it closer to baby Hercules and the cloud turns out to be a baby pegasus]

His name is Pegasus, and he's all yours, son.

[Baby Hercules bonks his forehead against Baby Pegasus', he whines and licks Hercules, they hug, all gods sigh]

Hera: Mind his head

Zeus: He's so tiny
[Baby Hercules tries to bite the medallion that hangs from his neck and then yawns]
My boy. My little Hercules.

Hera pouted. "You didn't do that with Ares or Hephaestus!" Zeus just shrugged.

Hades: How sentimental.
[camera moves to Hades fast after his voice is heard]
You know, I haven't been this choked up since I
got a hunk of moussaka caught in my throat! Huh?

"AAAHH! Dad's so ugly here… no offence …" Zephyr cried. "When has he not been ugly?" Poseidon asked while getting death glares from both Hades and his children.

[All gods look sternly at him]
So is this an audience or a mosaic? Hey, how you doin'? Lookin' good. Nice dress.
[as he is saying that, he moves from one god to another until Zeus squeezes him in a hug]

'I'll never hug him!' Zeus defended. 'Hrumph, I'd get a heart attack if you did' Hades countered.

Zeus: So Hades, you finally made it. How are things in the underworld?

Hades (taking Zeus' hand off his shoulder):
Well, they're just fine, you know, a little dark, a little gloomy, and as always, hey, full of dead people. What are you gonna do? Ah! There's the little sunspot, little smootchie. And here is a sucker for the little sucker, eh?
(he weaves a sucker with skeleton head out of thin mist)
Here you go. Ya' just-
[Hercules squeezes Hades' finger, and after some fight he gets away from the baby]
Sheesh! uh, powerful little tyke.

Zeus roared with laughter. "Someone deserved it!"

Zeus (hugging Hades once again):
Come on, Hades, don't be such a stiff, join the celebration!

Hades (getting free from the hug again):
Hey, love to, babe, but unlike you gods lounging about up here, I regrettably have a full-time gig You know, by the way, so charitably bestowed on me, Zeus, So.. can't. Love to, but can't.

"We threw Lots on it, and you lost so face it." Zeus said defiantly.

Zeus: You ought to slow down, you'll work yourself to death... Hah! work yourself to death!
[crowd laughing]
Oh, I kill myself

Hades: If only, if only..

"Someone's angry with their little baby brother" Hera cooed.

{Scene changes back to the Muses}

Calliope: If there's one god who don't want to get steamed up, it's Hades,

Terpsichore: 'cause he had an evil plan

"no he doesn't!" Lillian said defensively.

{scene changes to a boat on the river Styx, in which a skeleton is carrying Hades}

Thalia: (singing)
He ran the Underworld,
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth.
He was as mean as ruthless-
And that's the gospel truth.
He had a plan to shake things up-
And that's the gospel truth!

Hades: Pain!

Pain: Coming, your most lugubriousness.
[He trips, roll on the stair and gets seated on a sharp trident]

Hades: Panic!

Panic: Oh, I'm sorry, I can handle it!

[He runs, but trips over Pain, who just got free from the trident, falls
over, and his horns get stuck in Pain the same place trident just was]

Pain: Pain!

Panic: And Panic!

Both: Reporting for duty!

"Idiots… that's what they are." Hades and the twins muttered causing everyone to laugh.

Hades: Fine, fine, fine, just let me know the instant the Fates arrive.

Panic (who just got his horns free from Pain):
Oh! They're here!

Hades (bursts into flames):
What? The Fates are here and you didn't tell me?

'Keep that anger going' Ares pushed

Pain and Panic: We are worms! Worthless worms!
[they really change shape into worms]

Hades: Memo to me, memo to me, maim you after my meeting

"I'd like to do it now" Hades said

{scene change to a cavern with the Fates}

Atropos: Darling, hold that mortal's thread of life good and tight
[She cuts a thread with scissors and a woman scream is heard]

Lachesis: Incoming!

[Fates laugh as a soul enters the cave and flies into a tunnel.
Counter above the tunnel now says "Over 5000000001 served"]

"It's definitely more than that!" Apollo corrected.

Hades: Ladies! hah! I am so sorry that I'm—

Atropos: Late

Clotho: We knew you would be

Lachesis: We know everything
[they pass their only eye from one another as they speak the next three lines]

Clotho: Past

Lachesis: Present

Atropos: And future (to Panic):
Indoor plumbing - it's gonna be big

Hades: Great. Great. Anyway, see, Ladies, I was at this party, and I lost track of—

Fates: We know!

Hades: Yeah. I know.. you know. So, here's the deal. Zeus, Mr
High and Mighty, Mr. "Hey, you, get off my cloud," now he has—

Fates: A bouncing baby brat.

Clotho: We know!

Hades: I know.. you know. I know. I got it. I got the concept, so let me just ask:
Is this kid gonna mess up my hostile takeover big, or what? What do you think?

Lachesis: Um—

Clotho silences her: Oh no, you don't. We are not supposed to reveal the future.

"Sure you can…through prophecies.." Apollo said with nods from everyone else.

Hades: Oh wait, I'm sorry. Time out. Can I? Can I ask you a question, by the way? Are you,
(to Lachesis), did you cut your hair of something? You look fabulous.
{Lachesis giggles}
I mean, you look like a fate worse then death
{Lachesis giggles more, Clotho hits her on the head, the eye fells out into the hands of Panic}

Panic: Oh, gross!

"Yeah, gross!" Every one squealed.

Pain: Yech! It's blinkin'!
[he kicks it into Hades' hand]

Hades: Ladies, please, my fate...
(he puts the eye to Lachesis' hand)
is in your lovely hands

Lachesis: Oh, yeah

Clotho: All right.
[the eye raises in the air, showing pictures of the future]

Atropos: In 18 years precisely The planets will align ever so nicely

Hades: Ay, verse!. Oy.

Atropos: The time to act will be at hand Unleash the Titans, your monstrous band

"I hate you Hades" Zeus thundered. "Aww I hate you too!" Hades said sweetly.

Hades: Mm-hmm, good, good.

Atropos: Then the once-proud Zeus will finally fall, And you, Hades, will rule all!

Hades: Yes! Hades rules!

"That's right!" Hades and his children roared with everyone else sticking out their tongues at them.

Atropos: A word of caution to this tale

Hades: Excuse me?

Atropos: Should Hercules fight, you will fail
[Fates disappear, cackling]

"Yea! Go Hercules!" All the Olympians shouted.

Hades (burning into flame):
What?
(cooling down)
Okay, fine, fine, I'm cool, I'm fine
[bell dings]
Pain? Panic? Got a little riddle for ya'. How do you kill a god?

Pain: I do not... know!

Panic: You can't. They're immortal?

"Wow he said something right for once." Athena said frowning.

Hades: Bingo! They're immortal
(he takes a vial with red liquid and camera zooms at it, filling the screen)
So, first you got to turn the little sunspot mortal.

I'll correct the other chapters later. Please review if you find this better than before so I can do the other chapters as well. I'll bring in Percy and his group later.

SO THATS THE END OF CHAPTER ONE...
