Labors of the Keeper was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Kassandra returned to Hades after performing numerous tasks to atone for her killing of Cerberos.

Dialogue

After helping Hades with his tasks, Kassandra returned him at the Passage of Souls. There, Hades was sitting on his throne while his hounds attacked Kleon. Hades spotted Kassandra approaching.

• Hades: Ah, Kassandra returns. Victory written across her face.

The hounds dragged Kleon away.

• Kassandra: Where's your brother? Not here to settle any bets?
• Hades: It's already been settled. He lost.
• Kassandra: The gates have their guardians, Charon's lost souls have found peace. Now, tell me what you know about the Staff.
• Hades: I never promised you that. I promised to fulfill your destiny.

Stop toying with me.The Staff is my destiny.

• Kassandra: Enough games, Hades. I did as you asked. We had a deal.

• Kassandra: Mastering the Staff is my destiny. And you're going to show me.

• Hades: You were never in a position to bargain with me. Your life was mine the moment you killed Cerberos. I could have had anyone place guardians at those gates. Truth is, I needed you to grow accustomed.
• Kassandra: What are you talking about?
• Hades: Oh, did I not mention? I have a fifth gate, and you're going to spend the rest of eternity protecting it. That is your destiny.
• Kassandra: I didn't bow to your wife, and I won't bow to you.

Hades picked up his chair and threw towards Kassandra, who dodged it. He drew his weapon.

• Hades: Oh, you'll fucking bow.

Hades and Kassandra engaged in combat. Hades unleashed a series on his moves at Kassandra, which included launching of several orbs, dashing with his weapon and telekinesis.

• Hades: Shame it has to end this way. You'd have made an excellent addition to my dead hero collection.
• Kassandra: Collect this!

Kassandra dealt a blow to Hades.

• Hades: All you pathetic humans end up here eventually. Why fight it?

Kassandra and Hades continued to clash.

• Hades: Last chance. Work for me or suffer forever.
• Kassandra: Listening to you, I've suffered enough.

Hades defeated

Kassandra defeated Hades, who laid on the floor and began laughing.

• Kassandra: I don't see what's funny.

Hades sat up.

• Hades: You act like any of this matters. But you're a prisoner wherever you are.

Hades picked up his weapon and directed it towards the sky. The realm became coated with a form of shield projection. Kassandra looked around before turning towards Hades.

• Kassandra: Maláka!

An angry Kassandra proceeded to shove a kick towards Hades' face.

Outcome

Kassandra fought and defeated Hades after he refused to teach her what he knew about the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus. Hades later trapped her in the realm by projecting a shield around it.
