Dantine's Pov

Flashback

I was about 18 at the time I had just set up shop to try to keep myself afloat, and suddenly a woman burst through my door on a motorcycle.

Dantine: "Woah, slow down! You just totally wrecked my shop, and I haven't even named it yet!"

?: "They say you're the kind of person who'll take any job."

Dantine: "That depends. I only take... Special jobs. If you know what I mean." I took Rebellion off the wall.

?: "Then you should be used to this sort of thing." She grabbed my sword and shot lightning through it, shocking me.

She threw me against the wall and stabbed me with Rebellion. 

?: "This is the daughter of the legendary dark knight Sparda? Didn't daddy ever teach you how to use a sword?" She threw her bike at me. I felt something awaken inside of me for a second. In an instant, I was able to move again, even with the wound.

Dantine: "Sword? Time to go to work, boys." I drew Ebony and Ivory and shot the bike out of the air. I flew back over at her and knocked her over. I got up, even with Rebellion still in my chest. "Even as a child, I had power. There's demonic blood in me."

?: "That strength." I pulled Rebellion out of my chest.

Dantine: "You were the first to know about my vengeance. Looks like I'm getting closer."

?: "It seems that way. But I'm not your enemy. My name is Trish. I came here to seek your help. To put an end to the underworld." She took off her sunglasses. She looked like my mom.

Timeskip

We arrived on Mallet Island and found it in ruins. She ran off to look for any signs of demon activity. I went in through a cave. 

As I was walking around, I saw another girl with a rocket launcher on her back and several other weapons.

Dantine: "What are you doing here?" She fired a rocket at me. I rode it around the room and jumped off as it hit the wall.

Girl: "You a demon too?"

Dantine: "No. What are you doing here? It's dangerous."

Girl: "None of your business." She fired a grapple and disappeared.

I explored more, killing several smaller demons. At one point, a sword flew off the wall and stabbed me in the chest, so I grabbed it and brought it along. I also got attacked by a giant lava crab, which I dealt with. Then I went out to the courtyard and saw something I never expected.

Standing on the balcony was what appeared to be my father's demon form. I had only seen it once as a kid, but this was it. It was holding my dad's sword. It attacked and we fought for a bit. I drove it off pretty quickly, making me immediately see that it wasn't really my father. Whatever this was, it had none of his skill.

Then I got attacked by the crab again, and killed it this time.

I ran into rocket girl again and helped her kill some demons. I asked her name, and she said to call her whatever I wanted. So I called her Lady.

After that I got a set of boots and gauntlets that had fire coming out of them. As I got further, I was also attacked by a large bird demon, which I also killed after fighting a couple of times. After getting stabbed with Rebellion in my shop, I was able to use my power more effectively for short periods of time, making almost all of these fights easy.

What disgusted me was that when I had it beaten, it begged Mundus for its life, only for him to kill it.

I also encountered a demonic sludge monster that I wasn't able to kill.
