Devil May Cry.

[Xena]

ooc: Private thread.

The moon was bright and full, evanescent rings appearing around its figure as I wandered through the woods, my footsteps belonging in the echoes it created that sent shivers down my spine. I dressed up in a scoop-neck long-sleeved black top, black skinny pants, leopard-print shoes, and a gold leather, wide buckle belt, along with a gold hobo bag. My brown hair bounced as I made my way carefully through the tree-infested area.

Not that having trees is bad though, it's just very annoying once you try to venture through it.

It was a cloudless night; thank God for small mercies. Having the dark clouds around would've proved my movement extra difficult, since it would be blocking out some of the lunar rays of the moon. I was tired, but I was determined.

Yes, I was determined to get out of the woods.

I stayed too long, but at least I brought an alice-enhanced revolver that I played around with in the woods, to defend myself from its rare and sometimes hostile creatures. It was a revolver that never ran out of bullets. I continued on my way before finally reaching Central Town. It was a night when the bustling place was open to everyone.

I looked around, sauntering off anywhere, browsing and losing myself in the bright, vivid lights that engulfed the buildings whole. I found a new shop though, one that I had never seen before. I entered it and found an empty floor, looking deserted. I heard about this. It was supposed to be a bar, wasn't it? I guess they went out of business early. I was about to leave when I heard the clink of glasses. I halted and turned around, scanning the place again for signs of life, my heart thumping nervously in my chest.

Then I saw the staircase leading downward.

Now, going down there without knowing what's in store for you isn't the best choice anyone can have. I saw a shop farther away from Town, as if it was a secluded area. If I go down there and happen to be greeted by a three-headed dog, no one could help me. I flinched and looked back at the doorway, before hearing laughter below. The laughter of men.

I was relieved, so I made my way down the stairs to see an undergound bar. There were many men there. And only men. I seemed to be the only female being on the floor. It was odd that they didn't even spared me a glance from their drinking celebrations. Maybe they were too drunk? I didn't know, nor did I care. I walked to the barkeeper and got me a shot.

I didn't know why though. I was acting purely on instinct, and this was what my reflex tells me to do; act like I'm in a movie. It was a crazy thought I would've considered acting. I stayed there for a while, staring at my drink, my revolver peacefully in my bag, before drinking my shot.

[Dante]

" Tell me and I'll spare your life. "


It was a night to remember for a man being pointed with a 7 inch .45 pistol, though it was a bit brutal to do there was an exception for the word brutal. A white hair guy who doesn't seem to get any good sleep or perhaps he had this stare that could penetrate even metal.

" Please have mercy..... *sniff* *Mucus falling on his nose* Its near the old abandoned building near a pawn shop."

" I thought you'd never tell ...... isn't it bad that you invited your friend over without even telling that they would come*demons creeping behind Dante* , too bad I didn't made a welcoming invitation, I guess this one would do. "


Demons leap out from the corner of the room to where the white haired guy was staying, he knew they would come, there was no turning back since he couldn't use his alice to transform into a demon himself. He quickly evaded the first two attacks and countered with a two quick shots through the head of the demons*blood spill*.


He then quickly returned to the man who was seem to have lost his mind since he laugh so hysterically, he returned his guns to its holsters and pulled out this sword that clings in his back it seemed different from before it had this skull shaped emblem near the blade, with one quick slash the man was decapitated blood spilled every where, Dante grabbed the head by the hair and threw it in the side he then returned his sword at his back.


Whats surprising in this is that even though the head was no longer connected to the body it continued laughing it looked at the white haired guy with blooded eyes. " You'll never escape alive... *Laughed hysterically* " Dante knew the head was some sort of trap it started to glow, he noticed it was a bomb there was no other exits the door that he came in to was already blocked so he jumped out of the window it was seven stories high even though with out his alice could he still survive the fall?


Dante feels like he was falling forever, head first he turned his body and he fell to the ground with feet first while shards of broken glass pieces fell on his head,people were staring at him wanted to know what happened, but he just dusted the glass piece off and walked away like nothing happened.


He continued along the alley and out to the place to where the demon informant that he just killed a while ago told him. It was an eerie place to be but for a demon hunter It was like taking a stroll along the park but with four barking dogs running after you. Dante stepped in the room, he immediately saw the stair case, and he moved down. As he opened the door he noticed there were men laughing, and clinching their wine glass.


But what Struck him most was there was only one girl in the bar, she was sitting near the bar tender taking a drink, Dante just grinned and continued walking, as he continued on the noise became lesser as those who were drinking was starting to stare at him, maybe he is to popular to people this days. He sat down near the counter and ordered an unimaginable order.


" Ice cream Sundae. "


The bar tender who was too busy wiping a wine glass just laughed at him. *laughing* " We have no Ice cream Sundae here Sonny, if your going to order that go some place else . " The bar tender turned its back on the white haired guy.


Dante's heart starts to pound unevenly, he feels that someone or something that he had never seen for a long time would appear or would show up for this unexpected circumstance, he silently took a glimpse on the girl sitting beside him its seems that she knew the girl but she haven't seem her before or did he?. Three men stood up and went toward Dante, they seem to have some interest of some sort to this boy as they thought of him.


" Hey kid..... Hey I'm talking to you..... listen you can't walk in here and order a sundae ice cream.... that's rubbish order." *Gun Shot crackles* *man head explodes and drops dead*



Smoke comes out from the .45 pistol, the smell of gun powder was still in the air. Two of the men stood speechless but they looked at the boy with evil eyes, suddenly they turned into demons and tired to attacked Dante, the first one tired to slash him with its claws Dante ducked and pulled his second pistol which he fired both to the head of the demon that splattered blood every where. The third Demon lunged its self toward Dante and bit his arm, the white haired guy acted quickly, he returned his pistols, drew his sword and plunge it through the gut of the demon which he pulled that sliced the demon in two.



His arm was wounded but it was quite healing though it wasn't that fast, Dante stood up from being sited, he returned his sword and took out his dual pistols, there were no air in the bar but Dante's white mane suddenly covers his face while his blue eyes turned to red, he was ready for any attack that will come. The Merrie making of the men turned into a complete silence they all stood to where they were sited and transformed into demons.


Demons were coming left and right about 15 were attacking Dante, but he noticed something five of the demons were dashing toward the girl that was drinking on the corner, Dante was shooting those demons that were coming after him, he didn't have enough time to go to the girl and rescue her unless.........

[Xena]

I ordered another shot. Was I into getting myself caught or what? A minor drinking, and that minor represent half of the Alice Academy students. I hope I don't get too drunk. The barkeeper slid another small shot to me, the glass I caught gracefully in my open-palmed hand. I glared at it again, before drinking it in one swallow. Now, I was familiar to the noises of merryment, which is why I was surprised that the noise was dying down behind me.

I tilted my head to see a newcomer. Not really interested in seeing him clearly, all I did was glance and return to the empty drink in my hand. I heard a thunk as someone sat near the counter, where I was near to as well, and practically felt the pressure of the force on the table because of the ceased noise of laughter.

The silence was defeaning.

I almost burst out in giggles when I heard what the newcomer ordered. Sundae? Well, it sounds delicious for a dairy product, but still, this was a bar, wasn't it? It would've been obvious that there wouldn't be ice cream in this place. I held my tongue and waited for the barkeeper's reaction. And he laughed.

I almost considered laughing along too, but I bit my tongue.

The barkeeper told him to go find another shop to order his sundae. That was funny. I called in for another shot. My drink slid over to me again. I felt a funny feeling in my chest, as if my intuition as a woman told me something bad was about to happen. My heart began to thump rapidly again, pumping adrenaline to me. My hand shivered as I raised it to my mouth.

As I swallowed, I heard thumping footsteps behind me and thought, So they want counter-seats too? They were heading to me, or the young man beside me. I hoped it wasn't the first choice. "Hey kid... Hey I'm talking to you..... listen you can't walk in here and order a sundae ice cream.... that's rubbish order." I heard a gunshot and by instinct, lowered my head in a jerk, my hands covering my temples as the noise was as defeaning as the silence.

I heard something behind me drop dead, even dripping of fluid. I was scared now. What the freaking hell just happened? I turned my head to the side to see the newcomer with a pistol aimed at where the dead man last stood. The young man was oddly familiar. I heard something else behind me but decided against on turning. After all, I didn't want to see the body.

I kinda thought that this happens all the time, people die, shots are fired, so on and so forth.

I was surprised when two pairs of body threw themselves to the newcomer. I heard another gun shot before I finally wrecked my gaze away from the table and look again at the young man beside me.

And I saw demons.

I know what you're thinking, I'm a half-demon too, but I don't have it like them. I manage to stay normal, thank you very much. Blood splattered over half of my face as another demon attacked the young man. His sword was familiar. His guns were familiar. His name simply escapes me. I was surprised at how calm I was in figuring out who he is. It seems I spoke to soon. The adrenaline in blood made me jump up and away.

I took another stare at the newcomer, before it dawned on me. Dante! Dante Von Tepes! I felt like he taunted the whole bar when he fell silent with his pistols out in the air. I watched, horrified, as the whole crowd was reduced to demons.

Even as the demons rushed to my direction, my hand was already pulling out that special revolver. I raised it and glared at my targets, before shooting each body once to slow them down, while the ones nearer were given three more shots. The revolver, thankfully, packed as much punch as a modern automatic.

Tsk. The last one's too close. I moved the stool to my front and pushed it to the demon's running figure. It was too stupid to dodge, so it slowed him down considerably. I shot him five times. I took a careful aim on the demons lunging at Dante, shooting when I could, killing them. Blood coated the floor.

[Dante]

A near miss? or just his luck the white haired guy thought, this night was not his night first the exploding building then the fight at the underground bar when will this end? The last demon flew toward him but, Dante saw a bullet from a corner all he heard was his pistols crackle but not the girls who just gave five demons a bullet head ache. The whole bar was a mess demon carcass, and demon blood were scattered on the ground.


The Chaos was finish or was it? Dante walked toward the door knowing to his surprise that the bar tender was a demon holding a sawed off two barreled shotgun which was pointed at his back, he quickly ducked and pointed his pistols that filled the bar tender with lead after that he threw his pistols in the air and drew his sword which he threw to the bar tender that struck his head.


Blood gushed out of the bar tenders head, Dante caught his pistols and returned it to its holsters he went toward the bar tender that was some how stuck ed to the wall, He pulled his sword and put it at his back. he turned his back walking toward the door, but suddenly stopped.


" You're good...... I think well meet again, goodnight. "

He looked back at the girl who was standing in the corner holding a somewhat strange revolver, He winked at her with his blue eyes staring at her blue eyes that made a contact while throwing a coin at the counter. " Heres the tip. " then he turned his back and went out of the bar.


*Cell phone rings* *Walking*

" Hello.....? Yes..... It's done..... just send it to my shop OK? "


Dante walks toward the busy streets, he walked from the abandoned building to the bus station to where he rode until the third district that stopped near his shop named Devil May Cry.
He walked in to the shop took off his coat, turned on his radio, revved up the volume, and sat down at his sofa this was his form of relaxation.


After losing at the battle between Arose, Rage and other students Dante thought of what would happened to him, he promised after he ran from the battle that it would never happen again, not another blood shed of an innocent person.


He took a piece of pizza and placed it in his mouth while banging his head to the rhythm of his rock music that seems to bring the whole place crashing down.

[Xena]

It was over so quickly.

I took a deep breath and inhaled the rotten fumes of corpses. Maybe holding my breath would be a better way. I looked at the barkeeper and watched, once again horrified and fascinated at the same time, as he turned into a demon himself. Dante quickly killed him though, with a flashy shot and a throw of his Rebellion. Yes, that was what his sword was called, wasn't it? Or did he get a legal certificate to change its name?

Pfft, like it matters.

The barkeeper was pretty nice too. The bright side is not having to pay for the three shots I had. The sight of blood on the demon barkeeper was a bit too much for me to bear, so I looked away, but the whole scene was a mess of blood. I felt like gagging.

I heard the sound of Dante's sword released from the wall and sheathed to his back. I watched him walk up to the exit, before he halted for no reason. Had he remembered me?

"You're good... I think well meet again, goodnight."

Dante looked back at me before winking. No way. Who even winks anymore? Our gazes made eye contact as he threw a small, circular object to the counter. "Here's the tip."

His actions were so confident that I thought he well rehearsed it a dozen times before. He left me in the hell hole, trying to figure out what the heck happened. That was way too creepy. So this was what he meant by demon-hunter. I should've figured. I wonder, if he remembered that I was half-demon, if he'll slay me too? I looked one more glance around the room, before scrunching my nose in disgust. If Dante ever planned to slay me, I'll deal with him first.

I ambled carefully through the bodies and blood, not wanting to step on anything. Ah, wait, was that a hand beneath my foot?

I raised myself up the stairs, before finally to the door leading to the outside. Away from the underground bar and deeper into the cheerful and lively crowd of Central. The change of atmosphere was incredibly dramatic. I then saw his hair that stood out from the swarm of raven-haired people. I decided to follow.

After all, the least I could do was remind him of who I was, right?

My hair and eyes really do fool all. He didn't even recognize me. I saw him board a bus. "H-hey, wait!" I called out, but it was no use. He didn't hear me and left. I boarded the bus that left after his and kept my eyes glued to where he drops off. Third district, I see. At fourth, where my bus' stop was, I climbed down and half-ran to third. I was puzzled. Which shop did he go in?

I found a building with the most peculiar group of words I've seen for a joint. Devil May Cry. Also it was the nosiest place I came across, so why not try if he's there?

When I entered, I was greeted by blasting rock music. That's just my beat. I couldn't help but close my eyes and tap my hands and foot to the sound.

[Dante]

~"They called me the Leather Apron
They called me Smiling Jack
They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back

Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a saw blade cutting deep...

Once again there is pain, I bring flames, I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman coming home again
I'm coming home again!

Red drops stain satin so white
The way I sign my name
The neighborhood's pretty dead at night
And I'm the one to blame

Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a saw blade cutting deep...

Once again there is pain, I bring flames, I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman coming home again
I'm coming home again!

Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
No-one leaves... The Monsterican Dream

Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a saw blade cutting deep...

Once again there is pain, I bring flames, I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman coming home again~"


Blast of rock music filled the room, it made the white haired guy bang his head wildly up and down but even though the noise was so loud with the keen sense of a devil-hunter not even a quite mouse would leave undetected. The girl from the underground had somewhat followed him, what does this girl has a crush on him, would like to get his autograph, she was the one who will deliver the payment for killing demons, she is a demon that would any moment attack Dante while he's unarmed, or she requires something else He prayed it was not option number 4.


Dante picked up the remote that was lying still beside him and turned down the volume, he then placed it back he walked toward his table where a old school phone was placed and sat at his office type boss chair.

" Could I help you? "


He really prayed that this girl is not going to turn into a demon its such a waste to blast the head off this pretty girl. Dante got up and went to his freezer, there he slid down the door and took out an ice cream sundae he just made before going out on his mission that night. Dante looked at her as he scooped a mouth full and placed it in his mouth with the spoon placed on the large bowl where he placed his sundae.


He returned to his chair where there were two other identical pistols like the ones he used they were a much advanced type of revolvers ebony and ivory II, he then tiled the large bowl where his sundae is placed. " Sundae? " He was politely asking the girl, he turned his chair with his back facing the door again it opened now to his surprise was a man holding a briefcase.


Dante was expecting the payment sooner or later, he then turned back to the door and placed the bowl on the table to where he picked up the dual pistols and placed it behind his back.

" You should have came earlier..... did you bring the payment? "


" Yes ...... have you already destroyed them? "


" Yes ..... but I left a survivor *points at the girl* don't worry she won't be a problem she just was having a drink. "


" We had an agreement that no one should survive or even witness the whole damn thing. "

" Was that the agreement? " *laughing*


*Gun crackles* *smoke comes out from the pistols* Dante pulled the dual pistols in a blink of an eye a skill he was practicing from a long time ago, he didn't hit the girl nor the man that was about to pay him, it was somewhat pointed on the same spot where both of his visitor's were standing a demon was about to enter his shop imitating the figure of the friend that Dante lost from a long time ago.


" Please..... Mr. Vanderguild don't be rude to my pretty visitor and besides you told me that there is another hit? "


*gulp* " Y-Yes of course ..... sorry for being rude *bowed to the girl* the next hit would be in a disco club called the embassy bar."


" Sounds nice..... hey lady.... do you know how to dance ? I could use a partner when the going gets tough, if you know what I mean....... By the way the names Dante.... just Dante. "


The man hurriedly placed the case on Dante's desk and went straight out, the man also left a bonus for Dante and his so called new partner. The white haired guy went back to his chair placing back his dual revolvers in front of him, he got the small envelope where the bonus was placed and threw the whole envelope to the girl.


" Are you ready to dance? we'll leave as soon as you speak up and tell me your name. "

[Xena]

The lyrics weren't so bad as well. The Monsterican dream part made me snicker. It seemed like a rip-off from the American dream. I was getting a bit Alright, I was really getting into the music. Which was why I was immediately annoyed when the music got lowered down to a decent notch. What's the big deal? I thought as I opened my eyes to see Dante sitting on an office chair. The rolling ones. "Could I help you?" He inquired casually, and all I my brain could process was, Excuse me?

I glared back at his piercing blue eyes that reminded me of the times from the past; saving my life, not once but twice, but gradually letting it go for some girl I didn't even know. This is what I get for sitting on my hands. I could even blame the slothfulness feature my body and brain had during that time, but I won't, since Dante chose for himself.

Ah, love and life are indeed cruel.

I continued to stare at him indifferently when he stood and went to a big, hollow, white box that is easily recognized as the fridge. And from it, he obtained what I took to be...ice cream. Wasn't that his rejected order in the bar? Don't tell me he just requested that to get on the demons' nerves, since who can have two ice cream sundaes in a single night?

...
Oh right, me.
God, that's funny.

I would've laughed out loud if it weren't for Dante staring at me while he ate his dessert. I stood where I was, as if the ground was about to break, and I didn't want to add my weight to its crumbling end. "Sundae?" Dante offered. I was about to open my mouth to unintentionally stutter my response, but he turned around on his office chair. I was still holding my place in the doorway of the joint, which was why I practically jumped three feet in the air when it opened.

Who would've been so surprsied by an opening door?
That's what doors are supposed to do. God, I'm so paranoid.

Argh, stupid blasphemies. I must break this bad habit. I gawked at them stupidly, not knowing what was going on, but finally pieced things together to know enough that Dante gets paid for killing demons. Holy crap. It's work and fun in the same business! Why didn't I think of that? Because you're a girl, a voice in my head answered mockingly. I rolled my eyes at no one. Shut up, brain.

So I'm a survivor, huh? What the man said made me burn. "We had an agreement that no one should survive or even witness the whole damn thing." Tch, deadhead. My fingers twitched as I tried to control my urge to rip his head off, before feeling the cold touch of the bracelet on my wrist. Oh right. Aliceless. Also called as worthless. Dante seems to be on my side though. Or his own side? Either way, we're on the same one.

Damn. Another shot, this time between me and the man. "Please... Mr. Vanderguild don't be rude to my pretty visitor and besides you told me that there is another hit?" Oh. So now he thinks I'm pretty. Jeezu. And another hit? Man, how many people demons does this kid kill a week? Ah, yes bow to me, briefcase-man. I smirked triumphantly. How's that a shot for your ego?

" Sounds nice..... hey lady.... do you know how to dance ? I could use a partner when the going gets though, if you know what I mean....... By the way the names Dante.... just Dante. " Yeah. I know that, Dante. I can do freestyle moves, but I can't do formal. Yeah. That was what I wanted to say. What came out of my mouth was, "Uhh..."

Yes. Stupidly stupid interjection.

He threw an envelope at me, which I clumsily catched. What was he giving me now...? I was too lazy and uninterested to take a peek at what's inside, so I simply listened. "Are you ready to dance? We'll leave as soon as you speak up and tell me your name." My brows furrowed together. Dante, you can't remember me? I'm terribly disappointed in you.

"Just call me Lady for the time being," I sighed. I didn't really think about what I just blurted out. "Let's hit the road."

[Dante]

"Just call me Lady for the time being," Finally she spoke up, and what a short word to say "Lady?" it was a four letter word that even an elementary could spell back wards. Dante laughed after the lady added. "Let's hit the road." Dante thought " Ok? is it too old to say let's hit the road, and I would prefer, let's dance or something."

The white haired guy got up from his chair and to his left, he opened a large cabinet that was some how weirdly stuck on the wall with no sides, magic? He opened it and out comes a neatly, well organized, and hanged trench coat which was too awkward to say but Dante has a poor color to choose they were all red and black. Dante picked the long sleeved one while he wore it, he secretly took something from one of the compartments of the wardrobe, a form of three parts nun chucks and placed it on his left back pocket.


He then took the dual revolvers that was lying on his desk, Dante drew his sword from the first trench coat he used and placed it on his back, what a waste on detergent bar though Dante does his own laundry. The white haired guy pushed something from under his desk, a secret panel who would thought that? which opened a secret door that was disguised as a bookshelf who would thought that reading could get you there?


He walked to the door and through the spiral stair case ok this is too batman for some people but the person design the whole building was a genius though some details couldn't be explained because it between Dante and the owner's secret. After the spiral stair case come a dark room, in where Dante shouted. " Lights ! " The whole placed was illuminated and showed dozen of vintage cars like the GTO, Viper, and Dante's quite favorite car the hot rod Dodge charger.


The white haired guy wasn't going for the car because he just polished it last week and wouldn't be too happy if the pain job would be ruined by a sudden crash or a demons blood would be spilled, but then a question puzzled Dante. " How is Xena doing? " He continued on and continued his twin turbo ducati bike and beside it was a Harley Davidson. Dante took two keys one for him and he hopes the lady knows how to drive a motorcycle.


He puts the key in turns the ignition on it starts * sound of the motorcycles motor Revs up* he pulls the throttle little by little which gave the room a big blast of raging motor sound, the head lights turns on that gave a bright white light. The gate from the underground parking area starts to crank up it was quite automatic, using transportation would be much faster because the disco bar was too far from the third district it was in the 28th district and was about 30 minutes from the shop.


" Let's just hope the party is just starting. " It was 11:30 on the clock of Dante's shop and a new music was playing at the guy who was a bit excited to have fun with demons or better yet he would see the demon that killed Dante's friend who owned the shop before he did. Dante pulls the throttle further more which made the bike stand on its hind wheels that made him travel outside the parking space that went back to its normal position, he was ready to ride out and was only waiting for the girl outside the garage.

[Xena]

Dante did some more stuff, opening a cabinet, picking a trench coat, taking his guns, drawing his sword from his other coat, before doing something that I didn’t see, making a bookshelf open.

As in, literally open. Like, door opening?

I must sound pretty stupid right now, but I have been sounding like this since earlier, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if I continue to pay attention to it presently, but it may be a bummer. Listening to your nagging thoughts isn’t exactly a good thing. Like I said earlier, shut up brain.

I continued to stare for a moment, dumbfounded at this discovery, until Dante made his move to the door. I, being perplexed, subconsciously followed his tracks.

It was a spiraling staircase that led…where, exactly?

I followed, not asking questions until I reached even ground. I held my hand to the wall, walking around with it as a guide, before finally realizing that we were in a room. I was startled to hear the sudden voice yelling for lights, the sharp sound resounding painfully in my ears.

Oh, so the lights were voice-activated, huh?

The place was filled with vehicles. I’m not that interested nor familiar with cars, making it obvious that I didn’t know what the type of these cars were. But it’s not like someone’s asking me that, though.

I was thankfully wrenched from the sight of the cars to the sound of purring engine. Which was, I might add, incredibly annoying and painful. It was a while since I’ve been this close to cars. Obviously, I still didn’t like the sound of it.

The familiar, bright lights intensified the brightness of the room, the noise still in my ears, and something like a garage door rose from one of the walls. Who made this place, anyway? And how come Dante has one? I want one too! Hah, ranting in my head like a spoiled brat. Looks like someone needs to grow up a bit.

Not height-wise, though. I’m tall enough as is.

"Let's just hope the party is just starting."

Dante's voice, sounding strange against the engine. So that this'll be over soon, I swung my leg over the seat of Dante's bike and held on to him tightly. "I don't know how to drive a motorcycle," I said bluntly to his back, resting my head on it. He stepped on the pedal - or floored it - or made us go, for crying out loud, whatever. The point is, we zoomed out of there! Literally.

We were going really fast. As if superhuman fast.

I let out a loud and excited shriek when we launched into the air, before landing on the ground again. And in a blur of more shrieks, jumps, and drifts [whatever, I don't know what I'm talking about x)] we finally stopped. I opened my eyes to see a sign that screamed: Embassy Bar.

"This is the place, huh?" It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

ooc: Semi-blocked, got the consent to godmod, but this is hardly it.

[Dante]

~Vrrroomm!!!!~

As the roaring sound of the motorcycle that flies across the nightly sky, well not literally flying but it was going really, really fast. Dante held the throttle tighter as he went into a tight end " This girl's grip is strong hope she won't let go. " He thought to himself, as the motorcycle came to the 16th district the white haired guy ramped over a broken ten wheeler truck that was built as a ramp for those dare devils that would come that way.



Dante pushed the nitrous that was on the left handle bar that send them into a speed of light ~Vrrrrroooooommmmm!!!!!~ The bike's tires were like on fire while Dante's eyes were going red he smiled like a maniac driver. At last they arrived at the last hit, The embassy bar. " So this is the place huh? " this was a statement given by the lady.


" Ok let's go. "


The music's beat was loud and was even heard outside the bar or even about 1 kilometer away, for some people it was music but for Dante it was the cries of demons crying in pain. The white haired guy bought some tickets so that they could blend in perfectly, but was surprisingly happened was the master mind of those who killed Dante's friend, the owner of the shop. Was there in the flesh or should he say in the clothing of a human flesh.


Kiba Riwazaki, was a demon dread lord and was one of those demons ordered by Mundus to kill the twin sons of Sparda. Kiba was handsome, with his pale white skin, his green eyes, using his wits and charms any girl would fall for this man in an exception that if a person sees through a disguise of a demon.


" Goodevening..... and Welcome to the Embassy bar. "


*Dante smiles* " Thank you Mr. Riwazaki. "

*Approaches Lady* * kisses her hands* " I didn't know that my name is popular this days... And you are? "

*Dante's eyes gave Riwazaki's action a fierce gaze* " Her name is Lady. "


*Riwazaki Smiles* "Ahhhh... Lady what a beautiful name, where are my manners please do come in. "



Riwazaki went ahead the inside the club while the white haired guy was just stopping himself from drawing his dual pistols and blowing up the Dread lords head for what he just did to Lady, " What now? Am I getting jealous I know she's pretty but I don't know if she likes me back.. " The question that puzzled Dante's mind for almost 5 seconds. " Nahhhh..... Xena's way more hotter than this Lady or is it the other way around. "



He answered a very vulgar answer to his own personal question, he secretly took out his old picture of Xena in his locket "I endlessly wondered the whole academy for you but fate did not want us to meet or perhaps you have somebody else." he quitely whispered to the picture while walking continuously toward the bar not knowing that he dropped, thinking that he securely placed it in his locket.



Will anyone pick the picture or it will stay lost forever getting ripped by the footsteps of people going into the club. As Dante entered the bar he was amazed on how big it was though it was on a small place. " Demon magic. " He thought, but there was something strange about the place, there were human civilians or perhaps some humans allied themselves with these evil creatures, good thing Dante his not his twin brother.

[Xena]

"Ok let's go."

Three words that set my blood pumping. I couldn't believe it, but I was craving for action, and hearing the music's beat pounding hard against my chest, it only made things worse. To be honest, I was trembling when I stepped down from the vehicle. I lay an uneasy hand on my forehead, trying to calm myself down enough to act normal rather than a sidekick for a demon-hunter, who apparently has his own joint named Devil May Cry. It was surprising how these kinds of things turn out, no? I let my hand fall limp to its respective place beside me, walking alongside Dante in the process.

We went closer and there was this man that seemed to have waited for our arrival. Or rather, Dante's, since I'm just a 'survivor'. I'm still pissed with the briefcase-man, and apparently bowing wasn't enough to apologize to me. I was staring at the ground in front of me when we arrived, so when I lifted my eyes impulsively upon hearing the sound of a voice, my mouth slightly opened in awe. The man standing before me was incredibly...

... Hot.

I instantly fell in love with his emerald-green eyes. What can I say? I'm a sucker for green-eyed beauties. I continued to stare at him awkwardly, ignoring Dante's voice beside me when he thanked this smexy man. But I had to think if this was another demon. Heck, I don't care. At least he transforms into another, way uglier form when I finally get to dispose of him, if I must. When he approached me, I felt myself grow slightly lightheaded from the music, my pounding heart, and the fact that an attractive man was getting closer to my being. He kissed my hands, making me blush feverishly. "I didn't know that my name is popular this days... And you are?"

I was too busy registering this that I didn't see Dante's already-piercing blue eyes give this man in front of me a fierce glare. "Her name is Lady," the voice said. Who's Lady? I had to think for a second, before realizing he was referring to me. I saw Kiba Riwazaki smile a heart-stopping grin, before complimenting my name. At that I was a bit turned-off. It was annoying how these kind of handsome men compliment everything about a female. Next thing you know, he'll be saying 'you have smooth skin' or disgusting stuff like that. Besides, Lady wasn't my real name anyway, so I have the right to be turned-off.

Anyway, I was left staring at the figure of Kiba Riwazaki as he left for the interior of the building. Dante, who appears to have not noticed that my feet were practically glued to the ground, sauntered off without me, leaving me outside. I took a gulp before trying to clear my head, holding my forehead with my thumb and index finger, massaging it slightly to stay on my feet. I decided to move on after letting go of my forehead, but a few steps on the ground in front of me, there was a square paper that piqued my interest.

I ambled my way to it before crouching tentatively on the ground, reaching out for it. I flapped it in the air to remove the dust from the ground, before looking at it. Upon seeing the image, I widened my eyes slightly, surprised at what I found. It was me. I found myself. Nah, I'm just messing with the words. I found a picture of Xena Zatkin. I pocketed it after standing up, before finally walking into the Embassy Bar, where I temporarily forgot that Kiba was. Ah yes. Sizzling hot Riwazaki. I imitated a cough. Blast my hormones. I found Dante and tapped his shoulder, before whispering behind him, "What now?"

I was, in fact, totally clueless on how we're going to bust a place full of demons back to hell.

[Dante]

"What now?" The lady asked, Dante wasn't listening at all since he had his eyes on Kiba Riwazaki he really wanted to pop Riwazaki's head. The white haired guy thought of a plan on how to kill the demons with out harming the civilians, Dante only took two seconds to think of a plan. " Are you ready to rock? " He seriously asked the lady.


He slowly walked up toward the stage and into the back stage, he was blocked by two big bouncers, Dante didn't sense any demon in them they were just regular people or are they? He took out this weird looking nun chucks and amazingly turned the two into Popsicles, they were frozen solid.


Dante continued on up the stage and into the microphone, he tapped it twice just to check if it was on all of a sudden all the commotion come into a stop and they all stared at the white haired guy who was standing on the stage.


" Good evening everyone ! Welcome to Embassy bar we have a special number just for those special guys and I will assure you, you'll all drop dead after this first song. " *whistles*


Out of no where a flying purple guitar came crashing out of one of the windows, the people and the demons thought it was all some kind of special trick. Dante grabs hold of his weird looking guitar and starts strumming it.

" Let's Rock ! "

"~Steel a soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man

My chosen torture makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
A Freedom and a quest for life
Until the end the judgment night

Bless me with your gift of light
Righteous cause on judgment night
Feel the sorrow the light has swallowed
Feel the freedom like no tomorrow

Stepping forth a cure for soul's demise
Reap the tears of the victim’s cries
Yearning more to hear the suffer (of a)
Of a demon as I put it under

Killed before, a time to kill them all
Passed down the righteous law
Serve a justice that dwells in me
Lifeless corpse as far as the eye can see

The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see

*Clean Voice*

Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign

We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down

Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf

Praise to my father
Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devil’s cry

Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign

We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down

Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf

Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign

Praise to my father
Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devil’s cry

*Demonic Voice*

Life of vengeance, a passive test
Until the grave I will rest
Engage the pressure until it crumbles
The existence of the lifeless black souls

Onward to the sacred battlefield
Where justification and limits are revealed
Tools of steel in rage they conquer
Weed out the killing of victim’s stalker

The powers proven to end the madness
Upon I take it to end the savage
The rays of light a truth of meaning
To my father the blood is pleading

A justice rage for all to feel
With innocent cries and hatred squeals
The gore of evil seems to satisfy
When slain an maimed and pacified

My chosen torture makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
A Freedom and a quest for life
Until the end the judgment night

Watch the footsteps but never follow
If you want to live tomorrow
Steel a soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man.~"



As Dante sings the song entitled Devils Never Cry lighting start to strike those demons in disguise, civilians starts to panic and starts running outside the bar. " Stop him everyone stop him ! " The white haired guy starts grinning as he sees Riwazaki getting angry and scared at the same time. Demons starts to rush Dante and the Lady, left and right but Dante has something up his selves as demons attacks him his guitar, Nevan. It starts to pop up like a scythe and hits demons that comes from any angle that shreds them into pieces.



Riwazaki starts to ran toward this huge room and toward another room but the first room he entered was some what weird. When Dante was finished playing, he shouted "Whew, yeah ! " He lays on his back. Nevan flew back to the store while Dante got up and got down from the stage he went toward lady and neared his face next to her almost close enough to give her a kiss.


" Did you enjoy that ? * pulls away his face*


" You get Riwazaki and I'll take care of his guards I feel something weird is in that Room. "


There was something wrong about the first room that Riwazaki entered, Dante and the Lady is about to find out.

[Xena]

'Are you ready to rock?'

The question took me by surprise, startling me somewhat, despite the fact that I knew what he meant. He left me again to wander around the sea of bodies. I shivered involuntarily, thinking about the blood-spill earlier that night. I was looking around for a familiar face but thought to myself how foolish it was doing so, seeing that students weren't even allowed in places like this. I put a bit more thought to it before scowling. Did that mean I looked that old? I crossed my arms and angrily huffed at no one in particular, which was a good thing since no one seemed to have noticed my presence, or no one I felt.

I heard the slight feedback in my ear, shooting through my brain, one that could send me cringe in pain in normal situations. I stuck a finger in one of my ears subtly, raising a vertical hand with a straight finger, not the bold and often embarrassing horizontal covering. I turned to see no one other than the Von Tepes boy, clearly having the microphone under his dominance. I sighed inwardly, wondering what he was up to now, before what he said earlier echoed in my ears.

Don't tell me...
... he's going to sing, isn't he?

I felt my cheeks burn lightly, dropping my hand to my side, letting my head droop slightly towards the ground, making it deliberate to cover my eyes. It seemed even more awkward when all the noise paused, leaving silence to shriek painfully against my eardrums. I didn't know why I was genuinely mortified of my companion's actions, since he knew how to sing, but I didn't give the subject a second thought when I heard his voice on the speakers, amplified. If possible, I dropped my head even lower upon hearing the understated threat.

'Let's rock!'

While the Von Tepes boy continued his unexpected number, something changed in the air, making me turn on my heels and see a person, an ACTUAL person, being sparked open with flashy bolts of light that sliced through the air. I scrunched up my nose, disgusted and already catching up that it was only a skin of a human for disguise, the same as with those who were in the underground bar. It became easy to tell which of the beings in the bar were human and which weren't.

To be blunt, the real humans were scared silly, not knowing what was going on.
The demons, on the other hand, were growing hostile.

I made an irritated sigh upon seeing the said creatures heading for me, and I'm guessing it's not because they wanted to ask for directions. I slipped my hand dramatically into my bag before drawing out the revolver, shooting the demon in front of me a bit over three times speedily. Since this thing doesn't need to be loaded with bullets once in a while, I don't have any reason not to hold back when shooting. I made quite a blasted show, but one of the demons went a bit too close in my area that was invisibly marked by a circle. Without thinking about it too much, I placed my free hand on its shoulder and jumped up.

Causing myself to flip upside down while doing a handstand on the demon's shoulder.
Without missing a beat, I aimed my revolver at the creatures head, hearing an ugly shriek before I blasted it to oblivion. How d'you like that, devil?

The body crumpled from underneath me, making me lose balance and fall backward. I stood up while dodging the demons moving normally upright, nearing the stage in the process. I was startled to see Dante up in front of my face, going pale and speechless, before blood rose to my cheeks as he pulled away.

'You get Riwazaki and I'll take care of his guards I feel something weird is in that room.'

I nodded before heading to the room where hot Riwazaki might've entered, not bothering to shoot the demons in my way, dodging them instead.

[Dante]

Dante courageously entered the demented room, where Kiba Riwazaki the demonic dreadlord, as he entered the room he felt something strange about the place it wasn't anything like the room outside it. there were swords that were somewhat struck on the ground it looked like a cementery of swords of some fallen warriors.


As the white haired guy approach the huge door that was separating him from Riwazaki, from the pillar beside the door a loud voice called out saying.

*Dante walks toward the door and looks up* " Look brother ! It's been ages, but we finally have company. "

" I see that ! "

" We must entertain our guest ! " * Dante crossed his arm*

" You're right ! we have to be gracious host ! "


" Hmm... What should we do ? " *Dante walks around angrily back and forth*

" How do I know ? We need to come up with something ! " *Dante sighs*

" Brother, our guest I sighing. " *Dante continues to walk around angrily*

" SIGH ? What is SIGH ? "

" Well Sigh is when.... "

" Enough already !...... How long are you two gonna keep carrying on like this ? ...... *points at the dark figure* In case you didn't get the hint I'll spell it out...... Your GUEST wants to go through, Got it ?! "

The ground starts to shake and the shadowy figure from the top of the pillar starts to stand up.

" Our job is to guard this door ! "

" That's right ! We cannot let you pass ! "

The figured revealed themselves as two huge golem like creatures with their heads embedded at the hilt of the swords they are carrying, they both jumped toward Dante and attacked him at the same time.

Dante dodged their attacks, instead of the white haired guy being crushed it was the floor that popped into bits and pieces while it cracked.

Both the blue and the red golem rushed toward Dante, the blue one from above while the red from below, Dante took out his rebellion sword and deflected both their attacks while countering with his own attack by slashing both the brothers through the gut that sliced them open, while blue liquid poured out from their body.


The two golem brothers again attacked Dante and with their combined might made him drop his sword that flinged into the air that struck the ground, the two attacked again while Dante took somethinf from his coat it was a three hilted nun-chaku with sharp edge that looks like it was ice cold to touch.

He then took it and flinged it around that made a cold wind that freezes anything that came in contact in about the arc of the weapon, it was cerberus the spirit of the three headed dog that was very agile in using ice attacks.

The attack froze the brother's body while they were still in the air, Dante quickly jumped up and hit the frozen bodies with cerberus that crushed the body into bits that made the sword fling and struck the ground.

" Too easy ! "


Dante took cerberus and hid it in his coat, he also took rebellion and returned it on his back, as he turned his back on the sword they stopped him saying.

" Wait ! " *Dante stops*

" Yes, Wait ! "

" We have been waiting for a long time ! "

" Yes, a very long time ! "

" For someone stronger than us. "

" Someone who can control us. " *Dante turns and walks back toward the swords with talking heads*


" My name is Agni ! "

" And my name is Rudra ! "


" You shall take us with you ! "


*Both* " We could be a great help to you ! "

" Okay, but on one condition. "

" What is it ? "

" Name it ! "

" No talking. "

" Fair enough. "

" As you wish. "


Dante grabs Agni and Rudra, after that he did some tricks with them ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQEy5uDlMvs&feature=related ) As he swished them in the air he created both hale of wind and fire.

" Impressive...... "

*bangs the head hilt together* " No talking ! " *Agni and Rudra stares spechless*

" Good. "


Dante contiued on through the door where he found, Riwazaki sitting calmly on his chair while he was looking out the window with the academy as his view.
