" What do you want this time? a fight? "
" Well, I didn't came here to fight you, Jerryson. I have to warned you something. "
" About what? Don't tell me it was related to my master, don't you? "
" Of course, but it was a little secret between us. You won't tell to anyone else including Allen Walker as well. "
" Why? What thing that you wanted to say? "
" You see that... you have already met the brand new evil force, called the evil deities, right? "
" Yes, and what is all about? "
" That group was extremely very dangerous. They have strongest dark powers and abilities although they are different, due to their classification. The leader was very terrible one. "
" the leader?... "
" Yes, their leader name was Hera, the creator-destroyer of the evil deities. And I think she was looking for Allen Walker for a very long time. "
" Wait... did she knows about my master? But why? "
" She thinks that he was the present reincarnation of Horpus, the first exorcist of the entire history, who had killed her a thousand years ago in during the war invasion. I tried to warned her but she will never listen to me. "
" So then, how should I stop her from targeting my master? "
" I knew it was hard to defeat an evil goddess, Jerryson... or should I say... the protector of the Earth and the secret apprentice of Horpus, Morion, isn't it?... " with an evil smile on his face
" You guess who I really am... but I'm never underestimated by an evil goddess. I'm a strong exorcist, and I never gave up on fighting for peace. "
" Quite a little mouse you are... that's the reason why Allen Walker had adopted you when you are a little mice. What a pathetic creature you are. "
" An evil creature just like you, as the creator of Akuma, shouldn't be exist in this world. I won't let anyone to terrorize this beautiful world where me and my master lived a better life. "
" I have to be better to warned this, Jerryson... no... Morion. When you are failed to protect your master Allen Walker... no... Horpus..., the entire universe will be turned into darkness and destruction. It's better enough for you to stop it before anything bad happens. As the ruler of the Noah Clan, my goal was different from others, including you. You have the right and wrong paths that you will take, choose wisely. "
And he leaves through flash of leaves, leaving Jerry to be wondered in curiosity of what he said.
" the right and wrong paths... what does he means by that? "

" Are you alright, Jerry? " Allen asked
" Yes, I'm fine, Master. Don't worry about me. " Jerry responded
" I guess you are feel so exhausted. We should get back to the others and to take a rest. " Corinne said to him
" Thanks, Corinne. " Jerry said
But suddenly, Inspector Link arrived in.
" Corinne! You are safe! " he shouted
Corinne, was surprised when she saw him and she turned around to him.
" Inspector Link? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to go home with Chief Rouvelier? " Corinne asked
" I was been so worried about you, Corinne. I never thought that you might get hurt so badly because those evil creatures might attack you. " Inspector Link said in response
" Don't need to be worried about me, Inspector. Mr Allen Walker was there with me at all the times. " Corinne stated and she hold at Allen's arm, tightly

" Oh no... this is not so good... " Jerry thought in a surprise manner
" Shall we met up with the others then? " Allen asked her
" Of course " Corinne responded, with a loving smile on her face
After the first encounter fight against Hera, Jerry and the others met up with Lenalee and the other exorcists at the island shore. And then, they went back to the Black Order Headquarters.
Later at the room, Jerry was sat on his bed, has been started to become moody for the very first time. Thomas including his friends and allies, noticed his new reaction on his face.
" Is something bothered on your mind, pal? " Thomas asked in curiosity
" Yeah, you been defeated that evil goddess in the first battle fight. I can't believe it that you have been crushed her down. " Kirei said, with a little happy expression on his face
" Don't tell me that you are thinking something that you didn't tell to anyone else? " Mata asked
And Jerry turned to them, said " It was about my master Allen and Corinne. "
But Baldo snapped his senses out, said " Come on, pal! Corinne was there for him at all the times, you know that. Even so, your master was already fall in love to her. "

" Yes, and what is all about it? " Jerry asked
" I will sent you to a very risky mission. " Chief Komui said
" risky mission? What do you mean by that, Chief Komui? " Jerry asked
" We have been researched that their was a sword weapon that it was laid at inside of the old mountains, in which it was formerly known where the good deities lived peacefully with each other. Each of the people gave their blessings to each gods and goddesses. " Chief Komui stated
" Don't you mean it was looked like a temple? " Jerry asked, correcting him
" Exactly, you have to go there, to get the weapon, or else the evil deities might get it. " Chief Komui said
" I have to go in that place all by myself? But how about... " Jerry uttered, trying to say something
" I know of what you feel, Jerry. You are the only hope in capable of doing this risky mission. Every exorcist has his or her own duties, in order to achieve the mission. " Chief Komui stated
After he was speaked to the chief, he went out of the office, quiet in speechless. But then, his friends, allies along with the other exorcists approached to him, making him to wondered in confusion.

But a sudden, Allen and Corinne arrived in, weared their own black coats, making everyone were in surprise including Jerry.
" My! My! I had never seen that kind of a outfit from before. " Butch said in surprise
" amazing... " Meathead uttered
Jerry, approached to them, asked " Master, Corinne... What is really going on? Why are you wearing these stuffs? Told you, this is my mission. I have to do this all by myself. "
" Allen was getting worried about you when we heard from Chief Komui that you will be out to go out in a mission, and so we planned in a secret that we will come with you in your mission. " Corinne said in response
" But guys, I... " Jerry uttered
" Jerry, we should always stick together. I will never let you that you will go in a dangerous mission all by yourself. As a pet owner, it was my responsibility to protect the only pet that I ever have in my whole life. " Allen said

Her words make him to cool down his anxiety and worriedness.
" Thanks, Corinne. Without you, I couldn't able to calmed down myself and I'm a little bit afraid that Hera or Ceres might get me again. I don't know on what should I do next, even though I'm a strong exorcist, but I'm not stronger that much. " Allen stated
Jerry, was been reminded of what Baldo told to him a while ago and he thought that Allen was truly in love to Corinne.
" I guess everything will be fine for sure... " he thought, with a smiling expression on his face
And so, the two looked at each other faces, in a romantic manner.
