" Yes, every people: prisoners, criminals and even those people who are against the corrupt government systems. There were no exact formal way of judging a person who did some huge crime acts. But instead, they were been punished and executed through guillotine or it was simply as we called it death penalty.

" Because they planned to eliminate them for a long time because they wanted to make sure that no immortal creatures will be spread from across the Earth, by through beheading. They had been tried once but it didn't work out because the deities had never came out from their sealing. " Corinne said in response
" So.. it means... " Jerry uttered, nodded his head, went on " it means... Hera will be beheaded as well... if this will happened, it will be turned out into a brutal massacre. "
" That plan was keep in a secret to every Black Order organizations including us, ordinary exorcists as well. " Corinne stated
" It means... Master Allen was in grave danger. I think they are planning something badly to him. " Jerry said in an anxious manner
" But I heard that Miss Epstein has strong lustful desires towards men who were much younger than her. " Corinne stated
" Don't tell there is an another evil woman who had set eyes on Allen?! That was unforgivable! " Nibbles said, punched both of his fists together
" I think we need to get there immediately. We can't let her and her army to harmed my master including Hera as well. " Jerry said in a rush
" Full speed ahead, Baldo. " Corinne told him
" You got it, Madame. " Baldo replied
And they keep went on, to reached to the facility laboratory headquarters location site.
Back at the facility laboratory headquarters prison room, both Renny and Allen were looking at each other, in different facial expressions.
And then, she went on, said with amusement " Oh, my... you are so very angry at usual. Do you think you will stand against me? What a shame. "
" Really? What are you trying to planning to? to killed her and to tortured me to death? Is that what you really want? " with fit of anger on his face
She laughed of what he had said.
" What's the funny about? " still with anger on his face
" Seriously? Well, I had planned to eliminate the former ruler of the evil deities but I have different plans for you, my dear exorcist Allen Walker. " with amusement
" Of what? "
She grabbed him on his shoulder, through both of her hands.
" What think the hell are you doing? " as he tried to pulled himself back away from her
" Aww... you are so very gorgeous young man that I ever met with. That explains it that you have the hidden power ability from the past and I really like it... a lot. "
She touched his tip of his hair by her left hand while the other hand was held at his anti akuma weapon hand, gripped so tightly.
" Ouch! That's hurts... "
" It seems you smelled so nice. Your hair was so deep white and I really like it too. You are far more different from other men that I met. My plan is that... to make you as my future husband. "
" me, as your future husband? No, I will never! "
" If you refused me, I will gonna killed the goddess including your close pet, Jerry Mouse and your fellow friends as well. "
" No! Don't killed Jerry and the others, please... and just let Hera go. " with a pleading expression on his face
" Really? Are you really sure that I will spared them? " with amusement
" Just do anything as you wanted for me but don't killed them, please. "
" Well, I guess you had finally made up your mind. What a courageous exorcist you are. But I have to bring you to somewhere. "
" What?... Where do you gonna bring me exactly? " with a shocking expression on his face
And so, Renny brings him to a lethal laboratory room.
When he saw the view, he was surprised in shocked, and he turned his back, asked her, with a frightened expression on his face " What is this? Why are you bring me here in this room? "
" This is a lethal laboratory room. I had brought you here, well... you know... to make you comfortable. "
" What?! What are you will gonna do to me? "
" Just I said, I will make you comfortable, my dear. I make you more useful than usual. "
" No, you couldn't be... " with a fearful expression on his face
She hold a lethal injection on her hand, with an evil glare expression on her face.
Meanwhile, Hera was finally woke up in an empty room, was surprised that she was been placed that she had never been from before. But then, she thought on her mind, recalled of what happened a while back ago " That woman had brought me here in this place? Don't think that she have Allen in her hands... I need to find a way to get out of here. "
Then, she heard the loud scream of Allen from afar. She thought again on her mind " No... he was in terrible danger... I need to get out of here immediately. "
She tried to pushed down the steel bar door by both of her hands but she failed. But in a moment of sudden, a flash of light has shoned appeared before her. It was no other than her group mates (Nike, Poseidon, Kronos and Vesta). She was surprised.
" You guys... why are you doing here? " she asked
" We came here to rescued you, Your Highness. We have been heard that some of the snorted human beings had captured you and brought you to this place. " Vesta said in response
" We are so glad that you are safe, Your Highness. Come on, we should get you out of here in this haunted island. " Kronos said in a rush
" But I need to rescued Allen Walker first from that evil woman. He was looking for me. " Hera said
" Allen Walker was in terrible danger?! But why she have him? " Poseidon asked in a surprise manner
" I don't know. I think she had planned to eliminate all of us. " Hera said in response
" to eliminate all of us?! That was very insane! " Nike said in a surprise manner
" I will explained everything later. But first, I need to rescued him from that evil woman. " Hera said to them
" Wa... Wait. Are you really sure that you will gonna handled on your own? What if that woman... " Vesta asked
" Don't worry, I'll be fine. You guys must go ahead. If you saw Jerry and his allies were came on the way to the island, just called them out and tell them that I was safe now. " Hera told them
" We will, Hera. Be careful. " Kronos replied
" Good luck " Vesta said
Then, Hera disappeared from their sight. After that, the deities left away, through their teleportation ability power. Back when, Renny went approached to him, holding a lethal injection on her hand, making him to slowly stepped back away from her. However, she grabbed him, placed him on a long white bed, and then she tried to point the injection on his shoulder.
" please... don't do this... "
" Are you trying to provoked me then? I can't allowed it. After all, you are truly belonged to me... for eternity... " with an evil glare on her face
But before she could strike the lethal injection on him, she tried to attempted to rape him.
" Aggh... let me go... " trying to provoked himself away from her
" I cannot let you go because you are mine now. " with an evil laughter on her face
She tried to kissed him on the neck but in a moment of sudden, an unknown energy force came out from his anti akuma weapon hand had pushed her away from him, fell on the floor, making Allen to be surprised of what he had witnessed with.
He looked at his anti akuma weapon hand, said to himself " What is this mysterious energy force had came out from my hand?... Is this an another power that I used from the past, as the first exorcist of the entire history? "
Renny, still able to stand up from knocking down by his mysterious hidden power ability. She went approached to him, strike the lethal injection on his neck and he started to feel strong pain, succumbed in every across of his body, then he slowly fell collapsed on the floor.
She tried to attempt to grabbed him but however he grabbed a knife blade from a desk table, and he quickly stabbed her on the shoulder, making her to immobilized.
" Why you?... You had dare to killed me... aren't you?... Somehow, I will make you belonged to my possession always... "
And she fell collapsed on the floor, can't able to move. After he had stabbed her, he fell collapsed immediately on the floor, can't able to move faster because of the strong pain of the lethal injection. As he laid down on the floor, he thought on his mind " Will this is could be my end?... " and he closed his eyes
He recalled on his mind about his first mission as an exorcist alongside with Jerry in Italy, his reunion encounter with the Millennium Earl, his encounter with Road Kamelot, his fight with Tyki and the wonderful moments with the other allies (Lavi, Lenalee, Reever, Kanda, Krory, Miranda including Corinne and Hera as well). After he had recalled everything on his mind, his tears were fall from his eyes, thinking that it will gonna be end of his life, to be with his foster father Mana in heavens, feel that he cannot say goodbye to his close friends and also to Jerry as well.
" I'm so sorry, everyone... please... forgive me... I couldn't protect this world anymore.. I'm so sorry... Goodbye, everyone.. "
After a few hours later, a familiar voice had called his name out.
" Allen! Allen! Wake up! Can you hear me? Allen! Allen! "
He opened his eyes slowly.
" What the?... " then he looks at the person, in which no other than Hera, helding him on her arms and he was startled in surprise
" I'm so glad that you are finally awake again. I thought that you will gonna died for good. That evil woman had strike you with a lethal injection, isn't it? "
" Yes, I had stabbed her on the shoulder, so that she will can't able to move. But still, the pain was still spreading in my every parts of my body. I cannot move quickly. "
" But don't worry, I will healed you up. "
" But how? "
" Watch me "
She hold his left hand, tightly and then she closed her eyes. That very moment, a strong white light had shoned on him, making him to be astonished of what he had witnessed with. Some of his experiences and moments from the past had came back from his body, making him to restored back to normal and original state. (Note: This is the true hidden power of Hera).
After that, he can able to activate his Innocence weapon and he can able to move faster.
" amazing... I can't believe it... is this is your true hidden power? "
" Exactly it is. I have the power to healed everything back to normal and original state. "
" I can't able to believe it.. thanks, Hera. You are the best. " and he hugged her in embraced
This makes her to get blushed in full red. She looks at him, said in an apologize manner " Sorry, I haven't defended you from her a while back ago. please, forgive me.. "
" It was okay, Hera. After all, you had saved my life from death. " with a loving smile on his face
" Allen... "
The two are getting near their faces to one another, intertwined with their bodies and they shared a kiss. (Note: This is the second time that they kissed with each other). But in a moment of sudden, they heard the voices of Jerry and their friends from the distance.
" It couldn't be... " as he turned his back
Jerry and the others are finally arrived in, went approached to them along with the other deities.
" Jerry! " he shouted, ran to him
" Master Allen! " Jerry shouted
And the two shared a hug.
" I'm so glad that you are safe, Master. We have been heard that you and Hera were held captive by that evil woman from the North American Facility Headquarters. " Jerry said
" I'm getting better now, Jerry. Thanks to Hera. " Allen said to him
" So, where was Miss Epstein anyway? " Corinne asked
" I stabbed her on the shoulder. She had attempted to killed me but luckily Hera was there to rescued me. " Allen said in response
" That was a grief back then. " Lavi said, with a sigh
But in a sudden, Renny still can able to stand up from the killing attempt of Allen, making the others were surprised in shocked.
" What the? " Lenalee wondered in a surprise manner
" This is not so good... " Thomas uttered
Renny, with an evil glare, tried to stepped forward to Allen, holding a knife blade, but Jerry and Hera defended him.
" I won't let you to get near to my master, you wicked fool! " Jerry said
Glitching her eyes, she said with amusement " So... you must his closest apprentice, Jerry Mouse, right? What a surprise meeting for both of us. I know that you have the same Innocence power just like he did. But for now, i will gonna threaten you and the former ruler of the deities and the exorcist Allen Walker will be mine. "
Lenalee and the others activate their Innocence weapons.
" We can't let that to happened, you scum. We are already know of what you planning to. " Lavi said
" Really? Well, ordinary exorcists just like you will never get involved in some secret plans of the Central Headquarters. You had no worthy to stopped it, despite all of you are not strived hard in fighting against the Millennium Earl and the other evil forces in across the universe. " Renny stated
" not strived hard? Have you no conscience in your heart that you don't really feel of what other people who are striving hard in order to risked their lives in the battle for the peace of the entire universe. You, a high officer of the Order, who thinks nothing but evil desires! " Jerry said, with an anger on his face
" You had talked too much, mouse exorcist brat. I will eliminate all of you! " Renny shouted and she released a gun on her pocket, pointed at Jerry
But suddenly, they heard a loud shaking, covered the entire surrounding, making everyone were trembled with shockness.
" What was that? a huge earthquake?! " Kirei wondered in a surprise manner
" I had never felt a huge earthquake from before. I think it was not an ordinary earthquake. There was no tectonic or volcanic. I think it was created by someone else. " Siren stated
" By who, Siren? " Mata asked
But then, Allen was started to shaking his head, with agonizing fear, kneeled down on the floor, covered his ears with both of his hands. Jerry went to his aid, with a little anxious on his face " Master, what the matter? Are you alright? "
At the same time at inside of the Black Order headquarters, the other exorcists: Kanda, Krory, Miranda, Noise Marie, Bookman, Chaozil and Timothy heard the same sound including the other generals: Klaud Nine, Winters Sokaro and Froi Tiedoll
" Where was that loud trembling came from? " Chaozil wondered
" I had never heard that a huge earthquake from before. I think it was not an ordinary earthquake. " Krory said
" But where Jerry and the others? Do you think they are still out there? " Miranda asked
" I got a bad feeling about this... " Kanda uttered
" What do you mean? " Noise Marie asked him
Also, Bak Chan along with Fo, General Cross Marian, Reever and the other Black Order members heard the same sound, shocking with fear.
" What is this? an earthquake? " Johnny wondered in surprise
" This is bad... Jerry, Allen and the others are in grave danger. " Reever said, with an anxious expression
" What was in the world was going on? " Bak Chan wondered in curiosity
" I had never felt this kind of unknown phenomenon from before. " Fo said
Cross Marian, was standing at the left corner, where the demoness Bersheba was placed in a tablet capsule, thought in his mind " I think the evil deity warrior was responsible for this... she was coming on the way... "
Back when, Allen, was still kneeled down on the floor, with agonizing fear while Jerry and the others were looking at him, with curiosity.
" Master, what's the matter?! " Jerry asked him again, still with a little anxious on his face
That very moment, his mind flashed about the deathly premonition that the entire universe will be fall into deep darkness, with the dead bodies of Jerry, Hera and the other exorcists were covered with blood and then the evil laughter of Ceres was heard. (Note: The same premonition from the previous chapter (9))
After that, he screamed in agony, nodded his head, still kneeled down and covered his ears with both of his hands, making Jerry and the others were shocked of what they had heard including Renny.
" Master, what happened? Tell it. " Jerry asked
" It was... Ceres... she was on the way... to destroyed the entire universe... with bloodshed.. " Allen said, with a frightened fear expression on his face
" Ceres?... She was on the way?! What are you talking about? " Jerry asked him again
" I think that Ceres was behind of this secret evil plot to eliminate all of the living creatures, mortal or immortal. " Hera stated
" It was?! But how did you guess that she was behind all of this evil plot, Hera? " Jerry asked her
Hera, turned her back, looked at Allen, still agonizing fear.
" I think Allen had seen the premonition that all of us will fall to death by blood. He tells me about that a week ago that Ceres had appeared before him in a dream. He was very frightened at that time. It was a day before his birthday. " Corinne stated
" Do you think Allen had the power to see the premonition in the near future? " Tuffy asked
Jerry, getting silent for a moment, looked at his master, was now still with agonizing fear on his face.
Meanwhile in the country of Mexico, all the people had been transformed into beasts gouls, forming a large amount of armies, with Ceres and the other deities by her side, flying on the way out of the country, going back to the country of Hong Kong, the location of the new Black Order headquarters.
As they were flying on the skies, Ceres smiled with an evil laughter " I'm coming, my dear Allen Walker... I'll be back... and to eliminate your closest friends and including you, Hera... "
They keep on flying, going back to the country of Hong Kong.
The true hidden power ability of Hera was finally revealed in front of Allen, after she had rescued him from the clutches of Renny Epstein, who has lustful desires to him, because she likes men who were younger than her. Jerry and the others including the deities who were on her side (Vesta, Kronos, Poseidon and Nike) came to their aid. However, they were surprised when they heard the agonizing scream of Allen, that he had saw the premonition that Ceres was on the way to destroyed humanity and to captured him as well. On the other hand, Ceres and her fellow deities were on the way back to Hong Kong, to eliminate Hera and the exorcists.
