Chapter: Victory?

Hera frowned in annoyance. The development of Anastasia's new ability was quite troublesome. If used properly, Anastasia could shut down all of her abilities. She was much too dangerous to be kept alive.

"I'll give you an offer," began Hera to Anastasia, "If you rejoin the Apocrypha then I shall ensure you are treated as a core member of the royal family. How does that sound?"

"I'm quite repulsed that you think I would accept your offer after everything you have done to me. I would rather die than join your side!" Cursed Anastasia.

"I see... It is quite unfortunate that an Apocrypha with your capabilities will die. I was simply offering you a way to keep your life, but you have chosen death."

Layla and Minerva then quickly moved beside Anastasia. If they were to defeat Hera, then teamwork was essential. 

"I think it will take a few seconds for me to fully recover. Your ability seems to have deactivated my hardening as well..." Murmured Minerva.
