"Our guildmaster has been killed and you didn't bother to call me?" Athena yelled when she entered the conference room

Ares and Dionysus was already there, as was Arrow, who was spared by Lex

"You and Ares were closing that Gate in San Diego, We couldn't reach you" Dionysus said

"Do you have a suspect? Where is the CCTV footage?" Athena asked

"We have it here. I haven't watched it, but we already know who the culprit is. The monster Jasmine Lockhart. Our usual protocols have been activated, and the media had been notified what to report" Dionysus said

"You haven't.... bring it here!" Athena yelled and turned on the recording

"Hey, I'm not stupid, you know. The body was so badly poisoned, the medic checking on Heracles died from touching him. The poison melted through his rubber gloves. Who else can it be?" Dionysus

"Shhh" Athena said as they watched the cctv footage

Athena and Ares slumped in their chair in shock

"See it's her here. When she resurrects with her new body after that lady rescues her egg" Dionysus pointed at the shadow clone

 "No.. it's not the Exterminator. It's worse" Ares said

"Worse? What do you mean?" Dionysus asked

"You..you're not from the tower. You don't know the terror. That's the Shadow King!" Arrow said, slumping into his chair.

Lex and Anna opened their eyes in the morning after a few hours of dual cultivating. 

He refused to do it with Jasmine yet, as she was too small. 

They looked at Jasmine who was sleeping peacefully in bed and their eyes popped out. 

"Jasmine!" Anna gasped

"What?" Jasmine opened her eyes and looked at Anna

"Your body!" Lex pointed at her body

Jasmine looked down. She had prepubescent breasts! 

And she has grown a little too, and was now nearly 5 feet tall.

She looked around 9 yesterday. But she looks around 13 today. 

"You're growing!" Lex said as he summoned Yasmeen from the shadows. 

"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked

"I should return Heather's body, shouldn't I?" Lex said

"Yeah, she said she could feel and experience everything you did" Anna added

"She did? Oh.." Lex muttered remembering what he's been doing with her body

Suddenly, Lex's body morphed, his cock shrinking, then disappearing completely and grew breasts. His hair changed to blonde and his face and body shape changed. 

Within moments, Lex had become Heather. 

"Thank you Heather. Anna just told me that..um.." Lex said through Yasmeen

"Nevermind. It's... an experience for me too" Heather said before she looked at Jasmine

"Congratulations. I guess it won't be long before you reach adulthood again" Heather said

"Er...thanks" Jasmine replied. 

Jasmine was close to Heather before. She was only the detective assigned to find Lex the first time he disappeared after the hostage situation, and when she got out of the tower, arrested for causing a scene in the bank, and helping her join the Hunters Association. 

Suddenly now they are technically lovers? 

"Oh! I forgot! Anna, how did the Easter Egg thing go? Did you receive interesting abilities?" Lex changed the subject

Anna smiled and got up. 

She started doing martial arts moves, her naked body moving gracefully and smoothly. 

Then suddenly her body split in two as both Annas continued the kata.

Then she split to 4, then to 8 before the room was getting too cramped. 

"Which one of you is the real Anna?" Lex asked

"We all are" they all replied as one. 

"There is no prime Anna controlling the rest? Jasmine asked

"No, as far as I know, each of us can operate independently as the real Anna" one said

"But we also have a unconscious psychic link, so that we know what each other..." another said

"...is doing" a third Anna completed the sentence. 

"And when we merge back..." the first Anna said again as 6 of them merged back

"...I get the perspective and experience of what the others were doing" the merged Anna said as the last 2 joined her back and became one again. 

"What's your limit? How much mana do you consume for each?" Lex asked more

"I haven't tested my limit yet. We've been hiding in this sewer. As for usage of mana, as far as I know, none!" she smiled

"Hmm... maybe abilities by the easter eggs don't require energy, chi or mana" Lex said

"I agree. My abilities also don't use any mana or energy" Heather added

--

"So this was your apartment?" Lex asked, using Heather's body, which was his male self not.

Using Yasmeen would be troublesome if she was seen

"Yes this was our apartment and headquarters when we were hunters" Anna said, wearing a cap and sunglasses

"Yeah, we were the Princesses, the Sword Princess and the Power Princess" Jasmine added. She looked like the daughter of the both of them.

"Oh? Jasmine stayed here too?" Lex thought to himself

The building was now being rebuilt. The signage indicated that it was going to be a Olympus Guild local emergency center.

"Those bastards. They too over the Fellowship's building as well" Anna said

Lex had hoped to resurrect the other members of the Fellowship. While he could not shadow clone after a day, Saintess could resurrect with no apparent limit, so long as the body can be located.

Unfortunately, after leaving out the bodies to be displayed in front of the building, they cremated them and just disposed the ash randomly.

There were no records of what happened to the ashes. Were they buried, thrown into the sea or even thrown down the toilet? Nobody knew, and the Olympus Guild members didn't care.

As for Isla, the decided she was keeping the baby as it was nearly due. Although she knew that it was very likely the baby isn't Magnus', she would pretend it's his as she had nothing of him left.

The others just agreed with her since that was what she wanted. It's not as if they would take revenge on the baby just because it is a child of the Olympus Guild, or worse the child of Heracles himself. The child will never be told anyway.

"I have decided. It's time for us to move back out under the sunlight.

It's time to reclaim our rights and our dignity" Lex said
