Jake: Yep, give the public what they want.
Roy: Riight… Now this chapter will timeskip to Titan's Curse. Pairing is still undecided so I will make all girls for the possible pairing like Percy for now. Thanks for the reviews!
Eltigre221: Love your reviews as always! Zoe is in my top three choices too! But the thing with her and Artemis might make them OOC if I overdo it, considering it.
Sorry that username is taken: Yeah I know, people will hate me for that but they will be as important as everyone else.

Perseus Jackson and the Forethought Five
Chapter 1: Reveal
Percy's POV (Timeskip 9 years)
I slashed and hacked at my blonde opponent with my special blade that was given to me by my sixth birthday by my patron Hestia, Riptide. My shield, Will Protector, blocked another one of my blonde opponents' dual sword combos. I found an opening and kicked him in the knee as I bashed his face with my shield causing him to stumbled back and wipe his bleeding lip in pain.
My opponent twirled his Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold alloy blades in his hands and said "Good move Perce, no matter how fast I am, I can't match you."
I crouched a bit and said "Don't think so, you can do better than that!"
He leapt at me and said "You're right, let's see how you handle these!"
His alloy blades crackled with electricity as he swung right and left with speed and power pushing me into the defensive. I waited for my opponent to go to make an opening for me but he was moving too fast as he said "That all you got Perce? Is Blondie going a bit too fast for you?"
I grinned and said "Not really"
I pushed him back with my shield after brining both of his electric blades in a deadly arc. He staggered back because of the lack of balance as I twirled Riptide in my hand and smashed the side edge of my shield to his chest and I spun around him to smash the hilt of my sword behind his head causing him to crumple to the ground.
He coughed and gagged on the ground and said "Okay you win, dang it I'm falling behind you again."
I helped my friend up and said "Come on Jack, don't be so down. Last week you just beat Perseus during Lord Hades' weekly heroes training."
He put his swords back at the scabbards on his sides, stretched his arm and said "I know I did but I can't fall behind, I hate that."
I smirked and said "Alright but maybe if I call Tadi here you'll cheer up."
Jack's face turned red as he turned away from me and said "Hell no! Perce that's not cool!"
Jack was now fourteen, the same as me but I was turning 15 in a few months. He was now a bit shorter than me but he was still tall in his own right. He was now lean and muscular with all our training and he had his usual golden shirt but now he wore a military camo jacket over it and he wore a pair of jeans. Over the years he grew up and started having feelings for Tadi, he is now constantly training to become stronger and faster.
I laughed out loud as Will Protector shrank back into a watch and Riptide turned into a pen. Will Protector was given to me by Prometheus during my 6th birthday and it could defend against any attack as long as my will was strong and I had the courage to believe. Riptide was given to me by my Patron Hestia as well on that day and she said that it was a legendary blade that originated from my home, the sea. I now wield these weapons everyday while Jack now uses two alloyed swords. Both were a combination of Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold and they were specially created to conduct electricity from anywhere.
I was still laughing when a girl's voice said "Call me for what?"
We both turned to the source of the voice and saw a girl with long pink hair in a one braid tie and her purple eyes glared at me and Jack. She was wearing a pink shirt with a orange blazer. She wore boots on her feet as she stepped towards us, I grinned at her and said "Hey Tads, nothing, just training with Jack as usual."
Tadi was now 14 too and she really grew up. She was now as tall as Jack but I think her boots help her. She is not an expert magic user and she isn't half bad at sword fighting either. She now uses as Blessed Silver Wand that Prometheus gave her during her birthday.
She raised a brow when Jack then started to stuttered "Hey Tadi, what you up to? How was today? I like your dress. Where's Talon? How's your training going?"
Jack kept going on and on as I shook my head sadly while Tadi pulled out her wand and pointed at Jake as the point started to glow white and she said "Incantare: σιωπή!"
Jack suddenly clutched his mouth as it seemed glued shut. He struggled to speak but Tadi and I just laughed out loud. Jack rolled his eyes as Tadi said "Well that's one problem done, I'm going to ask Prometheus something now. Bye boys."
She walked away from us as another voice said "That is pathetic Jack."
We turned and saw a large brown skinned guy who had his arms crossed as he walked towards us. He wore a pair of crimson red glasses covering his eyes and he wore a red and black striped shirt and a red cardigan covering his body. He had a bow slung on his back and a lighter was hanging by a chain on his waist. The guy smirked at Jack and said "I swear to the Gods that you are getting worse every day with her."
I grinned and said "I know Allen, what happened to the confident Jack Rider?"
He struggled to speak and Allen put a hand over his mouth and said "Incantare:μιλώ!"
Jake opened his mouth and started shouting "I don't see you trying to get a girlfriend Allen!"
He just shook his head and said "I don't need one, I'm not looking for one and I don't think I will."
Jack grinned devilishly at him and said "Looks like somebody is gay."
Allen glared at him and said "Shut up Sparky, so Percy, how about you? Any girls that caught your eye?"
I rolled my eyes and said "Dude, we live in the Underworld; most of the girls I see are Tads and Fecilia. I see them as sisters and nothing else so I don't think I'm ready to see anyone yet."
He gave me a high five and said "Bachelors for life right Perce?"
I returned the gesture and nervously said "Maybe?"
Jake finished stretching and said "I don't know about you guys but I think I want to go take a break. Speaking of which where are Fecilia and Talon?"
Allen had brought out his energy bow and landed a bulls eye on the distant target and said "Talon is busy somewhere while Fecilia was just finished with training. She's on her way here now as we speak actually."
"How do you know that?" I inquired,
He sarcastically said "I can foresee it."
A voice then said "It's not good to mess with Dad like that."
We turned and saw Fecilia walking in the arena with her Guan Dao by her side. She wrinkled her nose as she got close and said "Why not a little work out huh? Allen and Jake together could be fun but how about you little brother? One on one?"
Fecilia was now nineteen, same as Talon. She wore a black jacket over her grey shirt. Her weapon was now taller than her and the head was crafted with Wyvernstones, gems harder than diamonds that can only be found inside a Dragon's heart.
I extended Riptide and said "As you say sister."
Jack and Allen stepped away as Fecilia and I circled each other with our weapons ready. Her spear head glowed white with energy as she said "I'll make the first move,"
She twirled her weapon and swung it at me as I dodged under and tried to get through her defenses but she pulled back and dealt a swift, blunt blow to my right thigh causing me to wince a bit but I recovered and slashed across her chest but she ducked under and slammed the butt of her weapon on my chin causing me to bite my tongue and stagger.
Allen and Jack winced as they said "Ouch"
I wiped my lip as my sister expertly twirled her spear around and stood it by her side as she said "Come on leader; hit me with all you've got."
I smirked at her as Riptide was set ablaze in Greek Fire and I said "Gladly"
I swiped Riptide from a distance making a bolt of fire fly towards her but she spun her staff around and deflected the fire and she repeated this until I stopped and lunged at her with my weapon ready. She blocked my strike and kicked me back but I recovered quick and dealt a good knee to the gut like I had done with Odysseus. After the staggering kick I gave an uppercut to her with my shield and making her stagger back, I disappeared into my shadow and reappeared in hers and grabbed her by the neck and held the blazing Riptide to her throat.
She dropped her weapon and said "I yield, little Percy has come far."
I let her go and said "Yeah, I never would have thought I would ever defeat you but I guess Lord Hades' blessing for shadow travel and undead minions helped huh?"
Jack and Allen applauded loudly as they approached me but we were interrupted when a voice said "Well, well, well, nice job Perce, she needed a little deflating."
From the entrance, a figure zoomed out and loomed above us. It was humanoid yet it had black scales and dragon wings. It held a mighty dragon scale weapon in his hand as it landed before us. It grinned at us exposing his razor sharp teeth but he closed his eyes and he transformed into a young good looking nineteen year old with messy black hair, reptilian eyes and tanned skin. He grinned at us exposing his massive canine teeth. The guy was Talon and now he was the same age as Fecilia, he mastered his dragon powers and he can now transform into one, use his fire powers and change his skin into impenetrable scales.
Fecilia growled at him and said "Shut your trap Talon, not like you could do any better."
His dragon wings retracted to his back as he slung on his jacket again and said "Because I know Perce will beat me, he is the leader of our little group."
I blushed a bit and said "Guys knock it off; we're special in our own right."
Tadi re appeared in a flash of white light and said "He's right you know. All that matters is we are here to follow Percy our leader."
They all looked at me as I nodded. Over the years they have come to fully respect me to become their leader, I grew stronger in my given powers of Hestia my patron and I was very adept in Lord Hades' blessing as if I was a son of Hades but I refused to use my birth father's powers in battle since where the hell was he whenever my mother and I were beat up.
Allen yawned and said "Well real touching moment we have here huh? All I'm wondering is when will we ever get a real mission? All our life, we spent it training, practicing and learning under Prometheus and several fallen heroes. We are more than ready and I am wondering when will we be able to prove ourselves?"
"A quest you request children?" said a voice. "A quest you shall receive"
We turned and saw a large column of fire that turned into a pale man in kingly robes. My eyes widened as I bowed and said "Lord Hades"
The rest of us bowed as he said "Rise, there is no need for this, I consider each of you my children so there is no need."
We got up as Jack politely said "What brings you to visit Lord Hades? Hero training isn't until two days from now."
His face hardened as he said "That is not why I am here Jack, I need to speak with your father, I am in need of his assistance."
Fecilia nodded and said "Yes Lord Hades, follow us if you would."
Fecilia led the way as Hades pulled me aside and said "My nephew how have you been?"
I grinned and said "Fine Uncle, training at my best as always and becoming the leader I try to be."
Hades smiled softly and said "This mission I will issue will be important, do you remember the children I had I told you about?"
I remembered the two kids, Nico and Bianca and said "Yes Uncle, is it time?"
He nodded solemnly and said "Yes it is my nephew,"
We stopped at the meeting room entered it slowly, inside we saw Prometheus sitting at the head table with a book in his hands and said "Lord Hades, what pleasure do me and my children have to deliver?"
He nodded and said "I need your assistance Prometheus,"
He took a seat as we all did and he said "My children, Nico and Bianca, as you know are now free of the Lotus Casino and are now at a boarding school called Westover Hall. My minions report to me that Demigods from Camp Half Blood are closing in to retrieve them and also monsters from Kronos' side are rising."
"Kronos?" questioned Fecilia,
Hades nodded solemnly and said "Yes niece, my father is rising once more and he plans on destroying Olympus and every demigod on earth."
We all looked at Prometheus and he said "I'm sorry I kept this information from all of you, especially you Percy. You see half a century ago, there was a Prophecy called the Great Prophecy, it is very ominous and it calls for a hero to save the world."
Jack nervously said "Dad, you said Percy was the child of the Prophecy, how does it go?"
Prometheus gave us sad looks as he scanned each of us. He sighed as Hades gave him a nod and he said the prophecy.
A half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice to end his days
Olympus to preserve or raze
I was speechless, everyone was. I was the child of this so called prophecy and judging from how it looks, it just practically said that I would die. Everyone looked at me sadly as I got up angrily and said "This is it!? I'm destined to die! That's all it is for me?!"
Prometheus got up and put a hand on my shoulder and said "Look Percy-"
"Don't Percy me Prometheus," I continued. "You all kept this from me? All these years? So I'm just some tool to use to save Olympus? The home of those beings who threw us away?!"
Prometheus gripped my shoulder harder as he sternly said "Look, if you will blame anyone, anyone at all blame me. Not your Patron, not your brothers, not your sisters, not your Uncle but me. I kept this from all of you, not just you. I'm sorry Percy but Prophecies always have double meanings so hope is still there I can foresee that."
I softened up, looked at everyone who was surprised at my outburst and said "I'm sorry everyone, I don't know what came over me."
Fecilia nodded and said "No worries brother, if it was me I would feel the same too."
Allen shrugged and said "It can have double meanings Perce, believe in that."
Jack then said "Yeah bro, we'll keep you safe no matter what."
"Even with our lives," replied Talon and Tadi,
Hades smiled softly at me as I sighed and nodded and said "I'm sorry father, what is the mission then uncle?"
Prometheus sat back down and said "I need you six to go retrieve my children before the Campers or Monsters do. I hope all six of you are up to it."
"Yeah!" replied all of us except me who was still a bit distressed,
Prometheus chuckled and said "Looks like we accept Lord Hades, we will leave when you tell us to."
He nodded and said "I will tell Alecto to bring you there in an hour, be ready and do not disappoint me."
With that he vanished in his shadow as all of us got up and Prometheus said "Alright, this is your first mission and you will prepare your belongings. Remember, standard equipment are communicators, ambrosia and nectar. Agreed?"
"Yes sir!" we replied,
With that we all scattered to ready our things but Allen and Jack went to me as we walked to our rooms and Allen said "Look Perce, you're still fourteen, there's still two more years and by then we'll figure something out."
I nodded and said "I appreciate it guys really but for now let's focus on completing our first mission."
With that, I went into my room to get ready.
LINE BREAK
We were all set, all of us were ready. We had our packs ready, weapons, communicators in our ear and all we needed now was the transportation. I was sitting in the corner of our waiting room waiting for the others when suddenly a large flame appeared in front of me and a kind face smiled at me.
"Lady Hestia," I greeted,
"Percy," she started "I believe you are on your first mission, I wish you luck and for that I grant you these."
On my lap appeared a belt of ten to twelve throwing knifes that seemed to be glowing green. I attached it to my waist and she said "Those knifes are made to explode with Greek Fire, you can will to them to detonate or not with you powers and they restock every five hours."
I gave her a smile and said "Thank you my Lady,"
She frowned and said "Perseus, what is the matter? I feel some distress in you."
I sighed and said "I…found out about the great prophecy."
She gasped and said "Look Perseus, its not-"
"I understand Lady Hestia," I interrupted her, "It is not till two more years, hopefully something happens by then."
She nodded and said "As you say my Champion, stay safe and good luck Percy."
With that, the fire died down and my siblings entered the room, they were in their modern clothes as Jack said "All ready here how about you guys?"
Jack was in his standard golden shirt but he had a bumblebee jacket over his shirt and his swords were probably in their scabbards attached to his back. Tadi wore a pink jacket, grey shirt and jeans as her boots looked newly shined and she had her wand on her waist and she had a pouch of Mistform cards on her other side of her waist. Fecilia was in her usual clothing of grey clothes but she wore a black jacket over herself now probably guessing it was cold in the mortal world and her Guan Dao, Crystal Cutter, was hanging on her waist in its clicking baton form.
Fecilia nodded as she spotted me and said "Wow Perce, nice knifes."
I twirled on in my hands and said "Just a gift sister,"
Tadi giggled and said "Lady Hestia spoils you brother."
I rolled my eyes as I said "Hey, where's Allen and Talon?"
Allen then came in with a book in his hand and said "Ready, just had to sharpen Rage Wrecker a bit."
Allen was in a usual red shirt and red striped jacket while he wore black sneakers and black gloves on his hands while he played with his lighter, that was secretly Rage Wreker, and on his wrist was a baller that would be his shield and on his other wrist as a bracelet that was his bow.
Jack stuck his tongue out and said "Sharpen it all you want, my lightning will fry any monsters ass!"
Fecilia pinched his ear and he said "Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop! Not cool sis!"
She let go and Allen said "Serves you right,"
He glared at him as Tadi stepped in between hen and said "Okay that's enough, no more fighting guys, save your strength for later."
Prometheus walked in the room and said "I see you are all ready but where the in Zeus' name is Talon?"
Just then the floor above us collapsed and fell down to this floor without anyone being hurt. On the wreckage lay Talon with his sword, Drake Destroyer, is his right hand. Fecilia and Prometheus glared at him as Allen and Jack started to crack up.
Talon was in a black shirt and black jeans as his clothes were dusty and white with rubble. He grinned with his large canine teeth showing and he grasped his weapon Drake Destroyer in his hand.
"Hi" he said,
Prometheus crossed his arms as Fecilia then shouted "What the hell Lizard Breath! How did you manage to screw this up!"
He got up, dusted himself and said "I accidently dropped Drake Destroyer; you know how heavy he is."
True to words, Drake Destroyer was very heavy. It weighted around several tons and only Prometheus and Talon could lift it. One reason was they were both absurdly strong and the second is that Talon is naturally strong due to being a dragon's offspring.
Prometheus shook his head and said "I'll fix it while you are gone, remember these are the objectives. Number one, return Bianca and Nico here. Number two, evade and avoid any mortals, follow Percy's orders. And number three, make it back alive. Got it?"
"Yes Father!" we replied,
Just then Alecto came in soaring into the room and hissed "Are you ready Demigods?"
I cracked my knuckles and said "Let's do it"
Prometheus then threw a round object as it opened into a large portal, he nodded at us and said "Stay safe my children,"
With that, Alecto and us walked in the portal to who knows where and believe me; we will succeed in our mission.
