In a flashback, before the encounter of Patricia Dalton, It was a day ago before the birthday of Allen. Hera had secretly entered in the room in which he was sleeping. Jerry and the others were already asleep at that time.
When she saw him sleeping, she felt in her heart that she was feeling regret towards him because of her evil things that she had done from the past and in the present. She wanted to changed her ways in order to help him, Jerry along with the other exorcists in the battle against Ceres and the other deities who were on her side and her true tears were fall from her eyes.
She placed a thing on the top of the cabinet and then she gave him a good night kiss on his forehead, said in a low tone voice " I could wanted to stayed for so long but somehow... I wanted to let you go for a while... From this day forward, I wanted to helped you at all times despite all the evil things that I have done from the past. But I truly feel in my heart that I cannot let you go, is because I truly loved you so much, my dear Horpus... no... Allen Walker. I will kept on loving you and to watch over you until the end of my life. "
She stepped back away from his distance, tried to vanished away. But a few seconds, Allen had woke up from the bed, making her to be surprised.
" Hera... why are you doing here? "
Tried to turned her back to him, said in a low tone voice " Oh, I'm so sorry to disturb your sleep. I must go back to my palace. Sorry about that, my apologies. "
She tried to walked out but Allen pulled her hand, with his head nodded, and she was surprised of what she had noticed with.
" I know that it was very hard to feel this way but... I was feeling regret when I saw you, ran away without saying goodbye to me. "
She nodded her head, said " I'm never ran away. I was trying to get myself away from difficult situations just like this and that's the reason why I came here. "
" Are you saying that you are protecting me because of that? "
Finally, she turned her back to him, facing to him, said " Look, for all those centuries that I had seek in the world where I don't really belonged with and also... those evil things that I have done with... after all, I wanted to change myself, in order to feel what is real love looks like... just like how you did from the past. But somehow, I need to stepped away from you because it was not safe for you because Ceres and her minions will might targeted you. "
" I don't understand.. It wa-"
" I know that but in reality, I have to do this because I truly loved you so much. "
Surprised of what she said, he responded " You really think... so? "
" Of course but for now, I should let you to go, to lived peacefully with your pet tJerry and on those who are very close to you. I will fight alongside with you, by your side... even my own life that I will take away within. "
" But... you are so very important to me despite that you are an evil creature from the first place... and somehow, I feel in my heart that I can't lose you in my life. "
He placed both of his arms around her shoulder, then his face went slowly near to hers.
" Even though that you are an ugliest goddess in the whole universe. You are still the most bravest goddess that I ever met with... and I was fall in love to you too. "
" But... you are fall in love to that lady named Corinne, right? " with confusion on her face
" I will loved you but for Corinne was far more greater. After all, I can't let you two lose by my side at all the times. "
" Allen Walker... "
And that very moment, the two are shared a kiss with each other. Hera, had never been closed contact to a mortal human being who had been reincarnated because of their past life. After that, she stepped back away from him.
" Good night, Hera.. "
" You too, stay well. Don't tell this to Jerry and the others that I had secretly came here, okay? " with a beautiful smile on her face
" I will, you too. " did the same way as she did
And she finally vanished away from his sight. As she had left, he saw the thing that Hera had been placed on the top of the cabinet and he was surprised that it was actually a red rose with a red locket necklace that it was attached to it.
He holded it, through his hand, placed on his chest, was realized that it was the first special birthday gift that she had gave to him.
But unbeknownst to him at the outside, Ares, had secretly heard their conversation, was getting far more jealous than ever, and so he hatched an evil plan in order to eliminate Allen, the present reincarnation of Horpus, whom Hera was secretly in love within.
(Back at the present time)
(At the island)
And so, the two men are facing with each other, in different facial expressions while Corinne was watching from the distance.
" I never thought that you had accept my challenge without second thought, what a brave person you are. " with an amusement on his face
" I have been heard of what you had said back then and besides, I will never allowed to showed some innocent people that you had been killed with. I will regret with no guilt. "
" Oh, it that's so? well, I have one reason why I demand you in a challenge. "
" What's it? "
He released his scythe weapon, pointed to him, said with furious expression " I will eliminate you. "
" What are you talking about? "
" Haven't you realized that Hera was secretly in love to you? I had heard your conversation with her a few days ago and I felt jealous towards you and besides you had stole her away from me, Horpus!! " with fit of anger on his face
" Look, I didn't stole everything from her and besides, you are just jealous to me because you wanted to served her so much. She had no longer need you anymore as her servant, because of your betrayal and incompetence. "
" It will never happened! I will gonna eliminate you at all cost, you exorcist brat!! "
Then, Allen activate his Innocence weapon.
" Then, bring it... "
And their fight has been begun. Corinne, watching at him, thought on her mind " I know that you can do it, Allen. Don't lose hope and have strong courage. Everyone were relied on you. You can do it. "
The fight went on smoothly but in the midst of this, Allen tried to strike with his Clown Crown weapon on Ares' chest but he failed and Ares vanished from his sight.
" Where was he? " as he keep turned his back, looking for him
" Allen! He's right behind you! " Corinne yelled
" What did you just say? "
A few seconds, Ares was behind on his back.
" What the?... He's right behind me?! "
And the deity strike him by his weapon, making him to getting wounded on his left arm and then he knocked him down on the ground.
Ares, laughed at him with disappointment " I'm pretty impressed of your fighting skills but you are too weak when it's comes to a real brutal battle combat. "
Allen, tried to able to stand up, despite of the wound on his arm, asked " Is that what you want? Trying to eliminate me at all? You had no regret in yourself after you wanted to killed me. "
" You are willing to died? " with a burst of laughter and he went on " Well, that's fine with me and after all I will finally achieved my goal, is to be with Hera's side forever and ever and to forget about you anymore!! "
He wanted to strike his weapon at him.
" Allen! just get away!! " Corinne yelled
Allen, closed his eyes, thought on his mind that this is will be his end of his life but after a few seconds later, his eyes were opened again as he heard a familiar voice beside him.
" What the? It couldn't be... "
Corinne, said in a surprise manner " No way! It was Jerry! "
And he saw Jerry was beside him, holding his Innocence weapon, successfully hitted Ares on the chest, making him to getting wounded, but still in a weakened state.
" Jerry... you had came here to saved me?... but you are not stronger yet. "
A moment, Lenalee along with Lavi, Thomas, Inspector Link and Kanda came to Corinne's aid.
" Are you alright? " Lenalee asked her
" Yes, I'm fine. Hold on, how did you guys know? Did you guys brought Jerry to eliminate the deity? " Corinne said in response
" Yes, after we had heard of that announcement back when. Jerry sensed that the deity god might killed Mr Walker and so he decided to stopped him despite we told him that he was not getting much stronger but somehow we understand of what he truly feels with, to protect his owner from death. So, that's why he came out in a secret, and then we will go out next when he had killed him. " Inspector Link stated
" No kidding me... " Corinne uttered, turned her back again to Jerry, and she thought " Even though that he was not very strong enough, he was still very determined to protect Allen from death. He sacrificed his own energy and courage in just to saved him. "
Ares, can't able to stand still, because of Jerry's Innocence weapon had strike him on the chest, almost fall to his death, said to him " You are so tough to killed me just like that, you mouse exorcist brat. Don't ever underestimate me because I'm more powerful than you are. "
" I had do this because I won't let you to killed my only precious master in the whole universe and after all, you will gonna be annihilated by the Supreme God, of all your terrible sins that you have done with. Don't ever mocked other people's powers. They have shown their courage and skills to protect the world from evil threats and darkness and I won't ever allowed it that to happen... "
Surprised of what he had said, Ares said in a deep breath, was almost fall to death, in a low tone voice " You are getting more stronger than ever, Morion... After all, I will gonna died for my loyalty for her... that's all I gonna say with... "
And then, the deity god fell down on the ground, was now dead for good. After that, Jerry reversed back to his original form, and he fell collapsed, making Allen was shocked in grief.
" Jerry! Jerry! " as he rushed to his aid, trying to wake him up, helding him on both of his arms
Corinne and the others went to his side.
" I think Jerry had sacrificed his own strength in order to protect you, Allen. " Lavi said to him
He looks at him, and he began to cried " Why you had do this to me, Jerry? Why?! Why?! " still helding on both of his arms
" I think he should recovered his health first. " Kanda said to him
Corinne, was sympathize to him, went to his aid, tapped her hand on his shoulder, said with determination " Don't worry, Allen. He will getting well soon. After all, he had never gave up on you. He has a strong spirit to healed him up back to normal. "
" Thanks, Corinne. After all, you earned my trust. But for now, I should let Jerry to recovered his health, in order to get him back to normal once again and he and I will fight alongside with each other again. " Allen said, with a smile on his face
" No problem at all " Corinne said, did the same way as he did
But suddenly, Hera arrived in, in a panicked state.
" Is that Hera? " Thomas wondered in curiosity
" What do you want this time? " Lenalee asked
" I don't want to harmed you all. Is Jerry was alright? I had been heard that Ares will gonna killed Allen and I decided that I will came here to stop him. " Hera responded
" Oh, I see. But, Ares was already dead. He was been killed by Jerry when he tried to killed Allen. But somehow, Jerry was still not able to get stronger yet, he needs some fast recovery. " Lavi stated
" I get it now and by the way, I need to asked for a request. " Hera said to them
" Yes, what's it? " Corinne asked
" Shall you guys leave me and Allen for a moment? I need to asked something to him that's it was very important. " Hera answered
" Okay, suit yourself. " Kanda said, with a little impatient expression
Allen, turned to Corinne, with an upset expression on his face, didn't know of what he will gonna say next. But Corinne said to him " Don't worry about me, Allen. I should take Jerry back to the headquarters, to healed him. I think she wanted to speak with you and besides she was very concerned about you. "
" Corinne... " he uttered
And Corinne and the others carried Jerry back to the headquarters, for his recovery, leaved Hera and Allen behind.
When they are gone, Allen turned to her, asked " So, is there's something that you wanted to say to me? "
" Actually... it was just one question. "
" What's it? "
" Can you tell me on how you and Jerry met with each other? You didn't tell me about the story on how did you became fast friends with him from the first place. "
And then, Allen became silent, turned his head, facing at the blue water seas.

After the fight, he fell collapsed again and he should recovered his health.
