The media around the country kept playing the same clip over and over again.

It shows Heracles slamming his mace into the brains of the crystalline dragon.

"Heracles and the Olympus Guild rescues San Francisco"

"Heracles saves the day... again"

"Heracles, the Dragon Slayer"

..the headlines read

At the same time, the tabloid press was flooded with pictures of Lex and Jasmine's wedding.

"Jasmine Lockhart married? Can she stay loyal?"

"Jasmine from Insatiable Married, dumping disabled childhood sweetheart Capt Alex Marshall for handsome hunk!"

"Jasmine Lockhart married to mysterious man. Capt Cuck nowhere to be seen"

--

"Aaaaaah" Jasmine screamed

"Calm down Jas. Calm down" Anna said

"This is done by the Olympus fuckers. You know it is" Jasmine said angrily

"Yes. They play very dirty. But they currently hold all the political influence and has the media eating out of their hands. We have to lay low, gather strength, before we fight back!" Anna said

"Graaah! How did you stay away from these.....these....these slimeballs?" Jasmine asked

Anna looked at her, then sighed before she walked to a cupboard and pulled out a folder with clippings and passed it to Jasmine

Jasmine opened the pages and saw multiple headlines.

"Sword Princess, Bull Dyke. Why Anna Wineburg isn't dating Heracles"

"Power Princess Says She's Taken. Reasons she is lying"

"Pervert Princess" showing Anna topless, with her hands covering her breasts

"This one.. Heracles had "accidentally" ripped off my top while "saving" me in a Gate" Anna explained

"Bastard" Jasmine said

Jasmine was forced to ignore it for now, and the girls went about cultivating for the day. 

However, the next day, a large stack of newspapers smacked on their doorstep. 

Jasmine picked it up and looked around feeling strange. 

Everyone on the street was looking at her funny, and when she looked down, she saw her picture, in full insect mode!

It was a close up front view of her. She was completely naked, with compound eyes and mandibles coming out of her mouth. 

Besides the spider legs, she had large dragonfly wings and a scorpion tail dangling from behind. 

Worse of all, webs could be seen half hanging out of her exposed pussy!

It was horrifying and humiliating. While the picture they sent her could show her, the pictures in the newspapers were blown up large, as even the stingers in her nipples and the one at her urethral opening could be seen clearly sticking out of her body!

"Anna... anna!" Jasmine yelled slamming the door and bringing the stack of newspapers upstairs. 

Anna was seated at her computer and turned around looking at Jasmine as her screen showed the blown up image as well!

The miscellaneous forums were flooded with comments, among them:

"Why the picture is real, side by side comparison with her body in Insatiable"

"That's her, I recognize her body like the back of my hand - actor in Insatiable says"

"Insatiable 3 will be a horror movie - Director of Insatiable says" 

It was all over the media. 

Both their phones suddenly started ringing as multiple people started banging on their door downstairs and ringing their bells.

A table was set outside the office of the Princesses.

Jasmine sat alone, with Anna staying in the background monitoring everything.

"I've agreed to this press conference to clear up several matters at once, namely the wedding pictures and the... insect pictures of me" Jasmine started

"Jasmine can you comment..."

"Why did you get another man.."

"..happened to Alex Marshall..."

Jasmine put up her hand and waited till the press quieted down.

"Thank you. I will talk first, and you may ask questions later" she said

"As you know, my name is Jasmine Lockhart, and I am a retired actress. I was brought into the Tower as one of the first batch to be brought in, together with many of the Hunters.

This picture, is when I got married inside the Tower on the 9th floor. That person I married is my husband Captain Alex Marshall of the United States Marines. As to why he isn't crippled, he had a fortunate encounter, healing all his injuries.

So I hope that is cleared up. I am not seeing anyone, and the only person I've loved is my husband.

As to what happened after that.... that's where the second picture came from.

I was... transformed into the insect monster you see here. The reason I remained in the Tower is that the tower recognized me as a monster of the tower and thus I didn't exit with the rest in the first cycle when my husband finished the tower to the end..." she said before she was interrupted

"I thought Heracles finished the tower at the 89th floor?" a reporter asked

"The 89th floor? Why don't you ask the members of the Fellowship of the Third, or Anna? They actually finished the tower! Hah 89th floor!" Anna scoffed.

It was well known by now that Anna finished the second cycle and the Fellowship and Jasmine the third. But Heracles has always claimed to finish the first.

"As I was saying, my husband is the one that finished the first. But he opted to stay and change me back. I was... I was a mindless monster in the Tower when Anna and my husband tried to save me and fail. He stayed again for the third, and managed to transform me back" she explained

"So where is your husband now?" the reporter asked

"He... he's still stuck in the tower. The repeating cycles must have caused something to go wrong. But we....I hope he will be released some day. Now I will be taking a few questions" she said

"Will you be going back to acting?" a reporter asked

"No. I am a hunter now" Jasmine said

"Why? The famous star Pat Britt says he wants to work with you, perhaps in a superhero movie since you can do your own stunts..." a reporter said 

"No. I won't do any more acting unless there is no sex scenes, no nudity, even no kissing. I won't betray my husband" Jasmine said

"Is your husband that important that you will waste your talent?" a reporter asked

 Jasmine rose in the air, her feet floating 5 feet above the table she was sitting behind

"My husband is everything to me. I will not have you talk about him like that" she said, terrifying the reporters

"Jas.. calm down" Anna called

Jasmine descended from the air.

"I've said my peace. Press conference is over" Jasmine said, turning around towards the office

The press started yelling more questions

"How about the Sword Princess? She looks like she can be in Insatiable 3, the Prequal!" a reporter yelled

Anna slammed the door shut after Jasmine entered the building.
