Percy's POV

At exactly 4:00, Percy's alarm beeped. Groaning, he woke up, feeling a bit tired, but it quickly disappeared once he showered. When he got out of the restroom, he felt very refreshed. Then he noticed a suit that Soldat must have assigned him. It was some U.S marines body armor that seemed to be protective against shrapnel and the natural disasters that happen every 3 hours in the Seawolf (the submarine) like pipe leaks or failure in the pipes.

Once he got suited up, he lined up on the submarine. Once Percy reached the deck, it was 0425 (he got a watch that tells military time.) When it reached exactly 0430, he saw Soldat inspecting the other rookies. When he passed Percy, he had a little smile on his face. "Nice Perce. Right on time too. Not very common for newbies like you to be on time for morning inspection." Percy grinned for a second but then made his face neutral. Don't want to get into trouble on the first day of training. After the inspections, it was 0445. Cursing himself, Percy ran towards the submarine's cafeteria. It was packed. Once he got his breakfast (some pork, rice, and soup) and looked around, trying to find a place to sit.

Suddenly, Percy saw Sodat waving at him, beckoning him to join him for breakfast. Percy smiled and walked over to the general. He suddenly noticed the room was quiet. He felt like everybody's eyes were on him. He heard some conversions, "Perseus Jackson…. general's cousin…. gods betraying…. new prophecy…. new recruit." He sighed. Even though he was not in camp, everybody's attentions are on him. When he reached Sadat's table, he noticed 10 other people sitting there already, all looking at him. "Hey, Percy! Nice of you to join us. This is the Hounds. They are in charge when I'm on a mission from command station." The elites snorted at the general's nickname for the council. Sodat introduced them to Percy:

Hound 1: Weapon Specialist/Expert (boy)

Hound 2: Breacher (boy)

Hound 3: Sniper (girl)

Hound 4: SMG Gunner (boy)

Hound 5: Combat Medic (girl)

Hound 6: Combat Engineer (girl)

Hound 7: Heavy MG Gunner (boy)

Hound 8: Officer (girl)

Hound 9: Grenadier (boy)

Hound 10: Negotiator (girl)

Percy shook everybody's hand. They seem to enjoy listening to his stories about the prophecies. But everybody's faces were grim and full of pity when he told them about his mom's death, his ex-girlfriend leaving him, and when his friends betrayed him. By the time he was done with when he was cursing at his old friends, it was 0500.

Everybody quickly cleared the table but, before everybody went their separate way, they promised that they would meet him at lunch. With the feeling of happiness flowing in his blood, he quickly ran towards his first activity, warm-ups and exercises. After that, he went to target practice. Sodat met him outside of the target range, and said, "How are you going to learn how to shoot when you don't have a gun yet?"

Percy groaned, and Sodat grinned. He led Percy to the weaponry where Percy started to look for a gun that suits him. After a long time, he found the perfect gun. It was a beret sniper. Sodat laughed when he chose it and Percy asked him why. "Percy. The gun you chose is the exact replica of Victoria's. I thought you would choose mine, the M4, but you didn't." Percy smiled and both of them headed down the practice range.

3 months later….

It was time for his graduation from his training. Percy knows how to shoot his gun very accurate, but he still preferred his sword. Not only does he know how to speak latin and greek, he learned how to speak Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, German, Tai-Kadai (language in Thailand and Laos), Korean, French, Malay-Indonesian, and Mandarin. He could run for 24 hours without resting much. He learned how to survive in the wild with only his sword. Learned how to be medic in battle. He could hack into most computers and know how to use many technologies. He excises his power every single day and he could almost beat Sodat at hand to hand combat, which is impressive.

After 1 month of training, he learned how to tone down is ADHD so that he could read English without a problem. He and the rest of his comrades were graduating after 3 months of training just like Sodat predicted. At the graduation, he would learn which squad he would be part of and will have a chance to be part of the council like his friends. They always visit if they have the time. Percy always enjoyed the time he spent with his friends.

3rd Person POV

At 1100, everybody filed into the auditorium. The teachers were on the stage with all of the cadets and Percy. Like in a regular graduation, the teachers called up each cadet one by one. But this time, it was different. The council were seating in the audience with everybody (except Percy) gaping at them. Nobody sees them a lot. Usually, they only see the council together once a month, with Sodat was an exception. The council was there to see someone special graduate. Once he was called up, they all held their breath hoping that he would be placed in a good squad. Soon when they heard which squad he was in, they all let out a sigh. He was placed in one of their squad's. Sodat turned over and asked, "Could I borrow him for a quest." She nodded and smiled devilishly. After all, Perseus Jackson was in her group, the Aqua Assassins!

Percy's POV

*Before he was sorted in the Aqua Assassins

"Perseus Jackson!" The announcer's voice echoed throughout the room. Suddenly all of the conversations stopped. Like on the first day of training, everybody's eyes were back on him. He sighed and climbed onto the stage. His eyes found a special group of people in the front row. Sodat, Luke, Ethan, and Michael gave him a thumbs up. Bianca and Zoe smiled a reassuring smile. Victoria's face didn't show anything but her eyes betrayed her expression. They were a bit dark, like his eyes when he was worried, sad, angry, or scared. He turned his attention turned back to the group of teachers on the stage. They all looked at him and announced, "Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon. You are chosen into a squad by your skills. We all agreed that your skills are great and powerful. You, Perseus Jackson, will join… the AQUA ASSASSINS!"

Everybody cheered and on the corner of Percy's eyes, he noticed that the council seem to let out a relief breath and started to go up the stage. Everybody cheered for all of the cadets who also went back on the stage and one by one, the council congratulate each one. When they got to Percy, Luke and the boys shook his hands and clasped an arm around his shoulder, Zoe and Bianca hugged him, and Victoria smiled but did nothing. After that, the led him to the feast.

At the feast, Soldat pulled him over into a corner and said, "Percy. We are about to make our existence known. The Hounds and I are about to attack Ares's fortress which is in Thrace, and we are bringing you with us. What do you say?" Percy accepted and asked him when are they going to leave. "Tomorrow. You better pack up now."

Percy smiled his special half smile but before he could leave to pack up, Sodat stopped him. "I want to tell you that Victoria has assigned you a codename already. It's Omega." Percy nodded, excused himself, and went to pack up. Then, at 2000, he went to dreamless sleep.
