Nico POV

''Er, can I ask you something?'' I asked my future self hesitantly as we filed out of the study.

My future self studied me, and then, by unspoken consent,we inconspicuously lagged behind.

''What is bothering you?'' he asked.

''Is there any way Leo can be saved?'' I asked coming straight to the point.

My future self sighed as though he had expected the question. '' I don't really know for sure. Maybe this time around things can be different – for better or worse. However there is no way I can be certain. I guess it might be possible if your memories of the future are taken away, but then that would defeat the whole purpose of you coming here in the first place, won't it?''

''That's a gamble I am willing to take.''

''Without consulting the others?'' said my future self quizzically.

Just then there was a flash and Apollo and Hermes appeared in front of us. Sorry, not just a flash, a flash followed by the number 'Staying Alive'. (shudder).

''Lord Apollo? What are you doing here?'' asked Sammy.

''Just come to take your parents from the past back to their time. They have a quest to complete after all.''

''You all are leaving so soon?'' exclaimed Silena and Charlie genuinely disappointed.

''They have to go back and fight a war, Silena.'' Said Alexandra, putting a hand on her shoulder.

''Time to say goodbye kids.'' Said Hermes. ''Also, in case any of you are wondering, the people from the future will indeed retain all the memories of this trip however, none of the demigods from the past will remember anything about this trip to the future.''

''But that defeats the whole purpose of coming here in first place! We came here to see if we win the war and if Percy and Annabeth were alive so that we would get the courage to continue fighting. We won't be able to fight the war without that.'' Protested Hazel.

''You will lose your memories but not completely. You will all have a general intuition as you continue on the quest, somewhat like a sixth sense. That will warn you of all the dangers you will have to face, reassure you to continue fighting the war and give you hope for your future. You will be motivated to fight for the future you have. '' said Apollo.

''You cannot keep all of your memories. Not only is it too dangerous, but the ancient laws forbid it. You might change the future as we know it and I do not mean it in a good way. If you take the future you have now for granted, it is quite possible that you may grow careless, lose focus and ultimately die in battle.'' He concluded, deadly serious.

Jason snorted. ''That is cheerful.''

''I guess it is goodbye then,'' said Andromeda – no, Andy. She was a friend after all. ''I really wish you all could stay for a while longer in the future. However, I guess it is for the best.''

''Win this war for us guys,'' said Fernando and Luke.

After several hugs and goodbyes all around, we were ready to leave. Apollo nudged me. ''Told you this trip would be interesting cousin!'' he winked.

I half smiled, drinking in the faces of Bianca, Fernando and Thalia – my family. Andromeda, who was six months pregnant, Dennis, Silena, Charlie, Alexandra, Emily, Sammy and Edward. They all looked so happy and at peace. I was filled with determination. This was a future worth fighting for.

''Bye guys,'' yelled Leo, his eyes gleaming (uh-oh, this means trouble) ''Oh by the way, Silena and Fernando have been secretly dating since the past two years!''

''Wait, WHAT?'' choked Thalia. Percy and my future self's eyes were as wide as saucers. Annabeth just looked bewildered as did everyone else except Travis who looked on at the sight gleefully.

Way to cause trouble as we were leaving.

''Bye everyone!'' snickered Apollo and Hermes.

(After the demigods left...)

''Silena, Fernando, is there something you would like to tell us?'' asked Annabeth, her hands on her hips.

''Well,'' said Silena blushing, '' it is kind of a long story...''

(Present) Piper POV

What just happened? My mind felt fuzzy. I was standing on the top deck of the Argo II looking at the sea. How on earth did I reach here?

''Pipes, hey Pipes,'' yelled Jason running towards me. His eyes were shining. ''Guess what? Nico and Leo have made out a plan how to reach Greece in two days flat! Isn't that amazing?''

''Really?'' gasped Frank from the deck below. ''This is incredible!''

''Yes people, you all heard right.'' Said Leo, completely in charge of the situation. ''We are going to save Percy and Annabeth and close the Doors of Death. No way I am going to let Dirt Face stop us.''

We all nodded enthusiastically. ''Aye, aye captain!'' Nico and Hazel yelled.

Well, I have no clue what happened. All I know is that there is no way in Hades we are going to give up hope. We ARE going to win this war, come what may. Gaia, you better watch out. HERE WE COME!

THE END!
