In the previous chapter, Jerry and the others were surprised that Allen was fall for Corinne at first sight. Later that night, he confessed to Jerry that he was afraid of Hera and her true face. The next morning, the generals including Cross Marian had arrived in the Black Order along with the staffs from the Central Headquarters. However, they were surprised that Corinne and Inspector Link are in a relationship, making Allen developed jealousy towards him, despite Jerry's protests but later on he apologized to him for his harshness. Later on, Corinne confessed to the Inspector about the real reason why she had came in the Black Order from the first place. Afraid to admit that she has a secret connection relationship with Allen, she tells him that she had only his protector and she vowed that she will protect him no matter what it's takes. As Inspector Link leaved out, Allen approached to her and later he admitted to her that he was in love to her so much. Their romantic moment interrupted when they heard an loud alarm sound from the outside of the headquarters. The two met up with Jerry and the other exorcists and also Jerry was reunited with his former sidekicks: Thomas, Butch, Topsy and Meathead. The group arrives on the coastal island but suddenly Hera appears before them along with her army, making Allen was in terrify again, but Jerry intervene in.
Will they able to destroyed her and her minions?
Note: In this chapter, Corinne will be narrated the Point of View (POV).
In inside the castle room, Ceres along with Hades (the god of the underworld), Juno and Pallas were watching on the crystal ball, showed that Hera had confronted with Jerry and the other exorcists at the coastal island. As the crystal ball shown that the goddess was looking at Allen, Ceres developed a resentment for the very first time.
" How dare she is? She was still keeping looking at him just like that. " Ceres said, with an impatient manner
" Are you really jealous to our ruler, Ceres? But why you say such a bad words about her? You have to respect her in a hard way. " Hades told her
" respect, huh? She didn't do her duties as the ruler of the entire deity realm because she had kept eye on that white haired boy, whom she believes that he was looks like the first exorcist of the entire history. " Ceres said
" Are you saying that you wanted to take over the throne?! Are you out of your mind? " Juno asked
" I don't really care! After all, I will eliminate her and to make sure that the exorcist will belong to me and I will become the new queen of the evil deities. " Ceres said, with evil laughter
" But hold on... What is the reason why you wanted to eliminate Hera and... Why are you be liking on that white haired boy? Are you really in love to that guy? " Pallas asked
She recalled in her mind that she was served under Hera since before the invasion attack. She was very loyal to her because of her respect and admiration. However since after their awakening from slumber, Ceres was started to acted strange to her because that Hera had started to in love to Allen, the present reincarnation of Horpus. Since that moment when she saw him for the very first time, she realized that Hera was just completely nothing but an obsessive woman, to get what she wants. She hide her secret emotions and plans in order to avoid any one to know in order by pretending to served her as her command warrior in charge.
After she had recalled everything on her mind, and she thought " After all.. she was quite completely nuisance. She doesn't fit to become the next queen of the Deity Realm and to conquered the entire universe. "and she laughed in an evil manner
She turned to her fellow deities, said to them " I must go in there, to eliminate her. "
" What? Are you really sure about that? There are many exorcists are in there and much worst, Hera brings the other titan beasts servants. You can't handle it on your own. " Hades told her
" I don't care if she had with or without her armies. I will make sure that everyone will be eliminated for good and that exorcist boy will be mine. " Ceres said
" And what is your plan then? " Juno asked
" First, I must make sure that everyone will never noticed my moves especially Hera as well and then I will make sure that I will lured that exorcist boy into my trap. " Ceres stated
" And then? " Juno asked
" Let me guess... you wanted to hurt him, don't you? That's was very insane. You should never close contact with a human being. " Hades protested
" Even he was a human being, no one can able to touched him except for me even Hera was already laid fingers on him from their first encounter. I will make sure that no one can able to stop me and my plan. " Ceres said, then she vanished away, with an evil burst of laughter
Pallas, Juno and Hades were curious about her strange reaction.
" Are you sure that she will gonna eliminate the Supreme Ruler? " Pallas asked
" I think it wasn't a good idea. If Hera finds out that she was there, those two will fight for the throne and for the love of that exorcist boy. " Juno stated
" I guess we should let them to handle it. Those two are formerly close friends but now they are became mortal enemies. " Hades said
(Corinne's POV (Point of View))
Back at the coastal island, Jerry and Hera are facing each other while his master Allen, the other exorcists including me, were watching them, in silently manner.
Jerry's facial expression turned gritted when the goddess smirked in an evil way.
" Why are you been so gritted just like that? Ha, quite pathetic, you little mouse exorcist. " she said with amusement
" How dare you to interfere in destroying of those precious things that it was given to every people? An evil deity just like you will shall be never exist in this world! " Jerry said, in an anger manner
" Are you saying that you will gonna destroyed me, mouse exorcist? I won't ever to be destroyed unless I will accomplish my ultimate plan: to conquer the whole universe. " Hera said
" I won't ever allowed that to happen!! " Jerry shouted, released his Innocence weapon, and he pointed it at her
" Wow! I had never seen his Innocence was getting improve than from before. " Thomas said, amazed
Hera laughed at him, with an evil laughter, said " Really? You really want to fight me? Well, if you say so, meet me at the top of the mountain cliff at the center of the coastal island and you will make sure that you gonna reached in a hour and of course, just bring your dearest master to me. "
The other exorcists were shocked of what she said.
" That's was impossible!! " Kirei shouted in surprised
" You got to be kidding me... She was act very serious to him. " Krory said
Then, Allen approached to Jerry, told to him, in a pleaded manner " please, you don't have to do this just for my own sake. She was trying to hurt me again so badly. If you do this all by yourself, I will never forgive myself. "
Jerry turned to him, said " Master, no matter what it's takes, I will continue to protect on those who are around me and including you. I won't ever that evil goddess lay a finger on you. I promise that I will survive until the end. "
But Allen pull his arm, said in a pleaded manner " I won't let it that to happened, I can't lose another one who was closed to me, so please... " and his tears were falled from his eyes
Jerry, felt emotional when he saw his master was crying and then he touch his palm on his hand, said to him " Master, I know that it was hard for you to feel loneliness and anxiety. But... I'm willing to keep on fighting just you and others do, for the sake of everyone in this world from the evil forces and besides, you are the first person who can understand of the meaning of the word, hope. I will keep that our promise to protect others until the end. "
" Jerry... "
And the two shared a hug.
But the evil goddess laughed evilly of what she saw, said " what a touching friendship... "
After that, Jerry turned back around to her, said " I will accept your challenge but... don't ever lay hands on my master. "
" If you really say so, then go ahead and make sure that you get there on time and bring along with your dearest master. " Hera said, then she turned back but before that she said to Allen " I will make sure that you will be mine again.. for real. " with an evil smile on her face
" I wont ever come to you, Hera! " Allen said in anger
Then she vanished away, leaving her armies behind, to faced the exorcists in a fight.
" So.. now what? " Lavi asked Jerry
" I think we should finished off her armies first before we can go to the mountain cliff. " Lenalee said
" No need, guys. I must go there along with my master. You guys will handled her armies. " Jerry told them
" Are you really sure about that? " Baldo asked
" Of course. When we didn't come back in a hour, you guys must get ahead back to the headquarters in case in need. " Jerry said to them
They looked at each other, in a silent manner and after a second, Lenalee responded " Okay then, Jerry. Just be careful and make sure that you and Allen will be safe. "
" I understand. " Jerry answered
Then, Jerry and Allen was about to walked out, but before that, General Cross Marian told Jerry " Just take care of Allen, Jerryson. "
" I will, Master Cross. " Jerry responded
And they run off, going to the mountain cliff however I was very anxiously worried about Allen's safety.
" Is something wrong, Corinne? " Lenalee asked
" I think it wasn't a great idea to go in there all by themselves. " I said
" Why not? " Lenalee asked
" Wait a minute... are you saying that you have concerned of Allen, don't you? " Mata asked, in embarrassment
" Will you mind? " I protested, turned my head, in a silent manner
The titan beasts army are already charged to fight them.
" Well, we can't waste time just like this. " Lavi said
" You say so, after all, we can't let these things go away. " Kanda said
But I turned run away from them.
" Where are you going, Miss Corinne? " Miranda asked
" I'm going to catch up with Jerry and Allen at the mountains. " I said in a rush
" But... only those two will go in there, to fight the evil goddess. You have to stay here and fight these evil creeps. " Baldo told her
" I can't " I responded
Everyone were shocked in surprised of what I said.
" Why not? " Siren asked in curiosity
" I'll had promised to Allen that I will protect him from harm no matter what it's takes even the cost of my own life to spared with. As the former head leader of the French Order, I will make sure that everyone is safe... including him as well. After all, I gained my trust on him. " I said
And they stunned of what I said.
" Well, if you say so, you go ahead. " Lenalee responded with a smiling expression
" Lenalee? Are you... " I asked, in a stunning manner
" Just go now, we will handled these creatures. You must go and catch up with them. " Lavi told me
" Okay " I responded and then I continued to run in a hurry through the forest
General Cross, was surprised in realized that she had truly cares for his own apprentice, and he thought " She was very more different person than from before. She was really truly cares for Allen.. after all. "
And the exorcists along with General Cross were ready to fight against the titan beasts. A moment of seconds, they began to charged with each other.
On the way to the mountain cliff, Jerry and Allen were continued running through the forest path.
" Are you sure that it was not far enough, Jerry? "
" Not really, we have to climbed through rock staircase at the lower part of the mountain. We need to get in there on time before Hera reached on the top. "
They continued running on the way to the mountain but suddenly Ceres appears before them, making them shocked in grief.
" You will never ever to get passed through the mountains. " Ceres said
" Who are you? Are you a member of the evil deities? " Jerry asked
" The name is Ceres, Hera's former assistant and the strongest warrior of the entire deity realm. " Ceres said, introduced herself to them
" What are you doing here anyway, Ceres? " Jerry asked
" I had came here to eliminate the ruler. " Ceres said in response
" to eliminate Hera? But why? " Allen asked in curiosity
" Is because that she doesn't fit to become the ruler of the evil deities so that I came here to eliminate her, in order to take over the throne and to become the new ruler of entire evil deities. " Ceres said, with an evil burst of laughter
" Why you have to destroyed her? Are you saying that you hated her so much? " Allen asked, in a mad manner
" Of course, I really hated her so much because it was your fault that she had fall in love to you, you exorcist boy!! " Ceres said
Allen, was stunned of what she said " But.. I don't really understand of what you are saying! Hera was just used me as her victim. She hasn't fall in love to me because I don't know about her. "
" Are you saying that you don't know about her? Well then, let's settled this in a hard way. " Ceres said, with an evil amusement, trying to stepped forward to Allen
But Jerry rushed to his defense, shouted " You won't let you to touch my master, you deity bastard!! "
" Out of the way, you will be belong to me, exorcist boy. " Ceres said
Jerry tried to knocked her down however he was knocked on the ground by her, making him unconscious.
" Jerry! " Allen shouted
And he turned around, in a frightened in fear, as Ceres approach to him then he run quickly.
" You can't run away from me, exorcist boy. " Ceres said, with evil amusement
She went continued to after him. Back when at the headquarters, Inspector Link approached to Chief Komui.
" Is there is something wrong, Inspector? I never thought you came along with Mr Rouvelier. " Chief Komui asked
" Where is she? Where she's going? " Inspector Link asked him
" She was came along with Jerry and the others in a coastal island. " Chief Komui said in response
" No way! It can't be... " Inspector Link uttered and he run off from the office, went out to go after her, in a worried expression, riding through a boat ship
Back at the island, the exorcists were still continued fighting off the titan beasts.
" I hope Jerry will returned back here safely. " Thomas said
" Me too. After all, we are rely on him for now. " Butch said
" Wait a sec.. who is that lady with a hat on it from a while ago? " Topsy asked them, in curiosity
" You mean her? Her name was Corinne D Artagnan, the former head leader of the French Order. " Baldo said in response
" No way! You got to be kidding me! " Topsy said in surprised
" So... she was the close ally of Jerry? " Thomas asked
" Of course, we're the ones who had helped him from recovering his weapon a year ago. " Siren stated
" amazing, huh? And the.. who was the white haired guy was with Jerry from a while ago? " Meathead asked in confusion
" Do you ever forgot, Meathead? That guy was his master. " Thomas responded
" his master? " Meathead asked him again, in curiosity
" Did you not remember? His name was Allen Walker. The one with an ability to see a soul inside an Akuma. " Thomas said
" Oh, yeah. I finally remember when we went along in a mission a year ago. I almost forgot that name of his master when Jerry went in an another journey. " Meathead said, in realization
" Uggh... give me a break! " Topsy protested
" I guess you been knowed Jerry a lot, don't you? " Miranda asked
" Yeah.. but why you created a shield anyway? " Thomas asked
" Is because that was my Innocence ability power. I can able to protect them from being badly hurt. " Miranda stated
" amazing, I can't believe it! " Thomas said, amazed
" Are you guys not finished them yet? " Miranda asked
" They're very strong than the Akuma. " Krory said
" Just stay behind, Miranda. Just keep guarding Jerry's friends. " Noise Marie told her
" I will " Miranda responded
" Given up yet, exorcists? " the titan beast asked, in a mockingly manner
" They are too many of them, what should we do? " Lavi asked Lenalee
" Maybe we should knocked them one by one, of course. " Lenalee said in response
" We can't let these creatures escaped from this place. We have to defeat them immediately. " Bookman said
" I guess there is one option to defeat them. " General Cross stated
" By how? " Lenalee asked
Back when, Ceres had chased Allen on the other edge of the forest.
" What she really wants from me? Why she wanted to destroyed Hera? But why? " he thought
" You can't run away that easily, exorcist boy. " Ceres said
" I have to get to a safe place to hide. " he thought
He went on running, faster and faster. However, she blocked the way by covering some of big rocks, using her manipulator power ability. Then, she appears before him.
" Just leave me alone, you evil deity warrior! "
" Are you saying that you are running away again? You will never go anywhere. " she said, with an evil laughter
" Why do you want from me anyway?! "
" As you can see, Hera was completely so nothing to become the ruler because she was fall for you of course but I envied her so that why I wanted to rebelled against her, to eliminate her, so that I will take over the throne, to become the new queen of darkness and of course really... I want you to become my future king, to rule the entire universe. Isn't that correct, the first exorcist of the entire history, Horpus? "
Allen, was shocked of what she said.
" Hold on! I'm not the person that you are talking about. You have been mistaken by something else. "
" Oh, really... are you saying that you are pretending that you really are the chosen one? I never realized that she was very despise because of being longed waiting for you for a long time since after the war invasion. After all, she was completely useless to rule the entire universe. That's the reason why I wanted you to become my partner in order to forget all everything about her, Horpus... should I say... Mr. exorcist. "
She quickly vanished away from sight.
" Where she's? " as he turned his back around, as he tried to fired her with his weapon
A quick of seconds, she appears behind his back.
" Got you..., Mr. exorcist. "
" No way... she was behind me?! "
He tried to attacked her, however she quickly dodge away and then she completely knocked him down on the ground, using her physical ability.
On the other hand, Jerry was awoke from unconsciousness.
" What had just happened to me? "
He saw Timcanpy from his back.
" Tim! Where is master? "
That moment, his left eye detected, sensing an unknown predicament from the edge of the forest.
" No way... it couldn't be that... master was there, being chased by that evil deity?! I have to stop her before anything happens to him. "
And he runs quickly, with Timcanpy guiding him.
Back when, Allen can't able to stand up from knocking down because of her ability attack.
" I can't able to move... she was completely so strong better than Hera, but why? " he thought
Ceres, walked stepped forward to him, said in an evil amusement " Quite a shame, isn't it? You are not so much very stronger and quicker as from before. Your powers were not even truly matched after all. I had never expected that this day... my ultimate plan will be achieved. "
" What are you saying?! "
That when, she pulled his vest, so tightly.
" Just let go of me, you wicked deity! "
" You shall come with me. After all, you and i will ruled the entire universe... forever and forget on those who are closed to you... including Hera as well. "
" I said let go of me!! "
She opened a portal (the same portal that Hera created from the previous chapter (4)), that it will lead to the realm dimension.
" At last, no one can stop me, as the new ruler of the evil deity realm. " with a burst of evil laughter
She pulled his arm away.
" I wont ever go to you! " as he tried to pulled back away from her
" You shall never ever visit in your world ever again because soon you and I will rule, as the new king and queen of darkness. "
As she tried to pulled him to the portal but suddenly a mysterious voice was heard.
" Stop right there!! "
Allen, was surprised when he had heard my voice from the distance.
" No way... that voice... it couldn't be... "
" Who are you anyway?! " Ceres asked in demand
" I'm right here behind your back, you evil deity! " I shouted
She turned her back to me, was already standing behind. When she turned to me, she was surprised when she noticed me for the very first time.
" No way! An another exorcist?! Why are you think you doing here? Are you trying to interfere my ultimate plan, don't you? " Ceres asked in surprise
Then I was surprised when I saw Allen, was beside with her. He was also surprised when he looks at me, face to face, making the evil goddess was jealous in enraged for the very first time.
" Corinne... I never thought that you came to saved me. "
" Don't worry, just hang in there. "
He and I were stepped forward to each other however Ceres intervenes, grabbed him and she covered his mouth with her hand.
" Why you?... " I said, in anger manner
" I wont let him to go with you, you exorcist brat! " Ceres shouted
" Oh, yeah! I won't ever let any evil deity just like you will never laid a finger on him. You are much worst than Hera, the Supreme Ruler. " I said
" did you say that I'm the most worst than her?! " Ceres shouted in anger
She released her weapon, pointed to Allen.
" I will make sure that I will killed you and the exorcist will be mine! " as she pointed her weapon to him
" I won't let you!! " I shouted, fired my blaster weapon and the attack hitted on her arm, making her to knock down and her weapon strikes down at the ground, releasing him from her grasp
" Damn you... " Ceres said in anger
" You shall ever never underestimate me because I'm more different from you, you evil deity warrior!
Then, she stand up from knocking off.
" I'm not done yet with you, you exorcist brat! "
" Watch out!! " he shouted
She tried to attacked me however I hitted her on the face, by punching with my both hands, knocked down on the ground for the second time.
After I had striked her, Allen approached to me.
" Are you alright? Are you badly hurt? "
" Yes, I'm fine really. And you? "
" Not really that much. "
That moment, he rushed to me, hugged in tearful manner.
" I was so very totally helpless. After all, you still wanted to saved me from danger. I'm so very scared that the goddess had forced me to come with her. I tried to fight her back however I was totally defenseless because she was very strong than Hera. "
I tapped my hand on his head, said " Don't need to be worried, Allen. I'm really right here for you, by your side no matter what. "
" But I'm totally scared than ever. I wanted to become strong person in order to protect myself but... I think I can't do this alone. " with a tearful expression on his face
" There is nothing to be scared. I'm always be there for you at all times. I promise. "
" You do? "
" Of course, after all, you are truly a strong exorcist that I ever met. "
Then, he looked at me, said in emotional " You will always belong to my heart... forever. "
Ceres, was still able to stand up, saw them, looking at each other, developed jealousy in madness towards to them and then she shouted " This is not over yet! I will make sure that I will eliminate you and that exorcist boy will be mine forever! "
And she vanished away, through swirling mists.
" Hold on... why that evil goddess wants you, Allen? "
" I have really no idea. She said that she wanted to eliminate Hera and to captured me either. "
" to eliminate the Supreme Ruler? But why? I never thought that she was the only one who had been obsessed to you. "
" Yeah but things are going to be so complicated because you along with those two will compete for me. It was all my fault. "
" It was not your fault, Allen. After all, those two were the ones were able to captured you because they knew that you are the first exorcist of the entire history. I swear that I will never let those two laid a finger on you. "
He smiled of what I said. But suddenly, Jerry and Timcanpy arrives in, in a rush.
" Master! " Jerry shouted
" Jerry! Tim! I'm so glad that you are alright. " Allen said, in delight
Then, Jerry looked at me, with a surprise manner " Corinne?! Why are you doing here around? I never thought that you are fighting along with Lenalee and the others at the coastal island. "
" It wasn't very obvious, isn't it, Jerry? " I responded
" Oh yeah, I get it now. you came to rescued my master again from that evil goddess. Hold on... where is she? " Jerry asked in curiosity
" She went vanished away after I fight her when she tried to take Allen away to a portal. " I said
" Oh, yeah. I understand. But... we have no time for standing around! " Jerry said, in realize
" What is it? " I asked
" Jerry was been challenged by Hera. She said that he will get there on the mountain cliff in a hour. " Allen said to me
" No way! I think she planning a deadly trap. You can't entered in that place. " I told Jerry
" But Hera was so serious about this. " Allen said to me
" she was very serious? Do you say that she will battled Jerry in a fair way? " I asked
" Might possibility is but I'm not so very sure about that. I think we should go in there on time so that she will never knows that I brought you along this way. " Allen stated
I was very stunned of what he said.
" Let's go! " Jerry shouted
And Jerry along with me and Allen were going on the top of the mountain cliff, in which the place told where he will gonna met Hera.
As we finally reached to the top of the mountain cliff, we were surprised that Hera was waiting, standing behind the edge.
" Oh, I guess you came on time, mouse exorcist and of course... you had bring Allen Walker all along. " Hera said, with an amusement
However, she looked at me, standing beside him, then her facial expression turned to madly in anger.
" So.. I guess we meet again, face to face, isn't it, Hera? " I asked
" How dare you to get in my way again, you exorcist girl?! " Hera asked in anger
" It doesn't matter how much you had been tried to fight me back but I won't let you to captured Allen. " I said
" How dare you...? " Hera said in anger again
Then, Jerry stepped forward in, said to her " Can you stop intergorating?! You said that you will fight me, right? " And he turned to me, told " Just take care of my master, Corinne. I'm counting on you. "
" I will, Jerry. " I responded
And he stepped forward twice at the center. Hera, stepped forward in, did the same way as Jerry did.
" Innocence, Activate!! " Jerry yelled
He released his Innocence weapon. But before the two get ready to fight, Allen told him " Be careful, Jerry. "
" I will, master. " Jerry said, with a smile
And the goddess released her weapon (Note: the same weapon that she used against Lavi from the previous chapter (5)).
" I'm ready, Hera. " Jerry said
" As you wish, you mouse exorcist. " Hera said, with evil amusement
And the two are ready to fight, face to face with each other while me and Allen were watching them from behind.
On the other hand, Inspector Link were on the way to the coastal island, in which he tried to catch up with me. When he arrived in the island, he was surprised when he saw the other exorcists were still fighting Hera's armies but he saw that I was not there.
The Inspector approached to Jerry's teammates, asked " Where's Corinne? "
" She was on the edge of the island, to.. rescued Allen Walker at the forest. Is there is something wrong? " Baldo asked in curiosity
He was surprised that she was came along with Allen and he run quickly through the forest.
" Hey! Where are you going?! " Kirei asked, trying to stopped him
" Just let him be. " Siren told him
" But... " Kirei uttered, as he watched from the distance
Now that the Inspector Link was came on the coastal island, to catch up with Corinne, to check on her. But he was surprised that she was came along with Allen Walker. On the other hand, Jerry and Hera were face to face, ready to fight while Allen along with Corinne, standing beside him, watched him from behind.
Which among of the two will win in the first battle fight? How about the Inspector? Will he able to catch up with her? or he will really be started to developed jealousy to Allen?
The battle of terror continues, rages in.
