Into the Devil-verse

Fate to the Rescue

After storming out of the room, Alessa leaves the facility with weapons in hand. She needed to step away from the meeting. Finding out the said man was Dante from another universe brought back so many bad memories. This Dante was definitely different from the one she knows but she can't help but feel some sort of distrust towards him.

While in deep thought, she picked up two powerful auras somewhere close by. They felt demonic but at the same time they weren't threatening. Curiosity set in, which led her to follow the auras. She began running to make sure she could keep up with them as they seemed to disappear. Soon she was met with not just two auras but with more and this time they were threatening.

She drew her weapons and practically jumped into what looked like an ambush. Then she saw two men fighting a pack of demons. One was older and had slicked back white, spiky hair and wearing a dark blue trench coat and the other was younger with shorter hair with a dark blue denim jacket with a red shirt underneath. The older man looked eerily similar to her boss.

Suddenly the other Dante's words echoed in her mind about how scary it was to see her boss looking like a younger version of his twin. She then realized that this was Dante's brother and nephew. He was really adamant about finding them and here she is about to help them. If this wasn't a sign from the gods then she didn't know what is.

"Looks like I made it just in time!" Alessa yelled, slicing a demon.

"Holy shit, you're Alessa!" Nero shouted in excitement.

"You must have read our stories, I see. You must be Dante's nephew and brother. He's been looking all over for you both."

"My brother is alive?" The other Vergil asks.

"Yes, he is back on the base helping my boss."

The older male was relieved to know that his brother was alive and well. Plus on the upside, they are getting assistance. He and his son were losing stamina since it had been a while since they had food, water, or shelter. Demons were coming non stop and it didn't seem like they were going to stop anytime soon.

Nero began to lose his composure, "They keep coming! I don't know if I can keep at it like this!"

"It would be wise to retreat. There are only three of us and a horde of them. Alessa, do you know a way out of here?" Vergil asks.

"Yeah, just give me a moment to buy us some time."

Alessa's eyes begin to grow red. A cloud of dark green matter around her and it slowly starts to turn black. She floats up and focuses the energy toward the horde. She then charges the energy and sends it flying while it destroys everything in its path. The horde was nothing but black dust once the energy did its job.

"I'm not going to lie, that was pretty impressive."

Alessa turns to see Nero looking exhausted. He is holding on to Vergil for support. The older man had a stoic expression but his eyes gave away that he was worried about the younger man.

"Thanks, are you both okay?"

Nero sighed, "More exhausted than anything."

"I'll take you back to the base. You can recover there and meet up with my boss and uncle. He will be happy to see you both."

"I hope your boss has more patience than I. My brother tends to be a babbling idiot, which leads to me stabbing him majority of the time."

Alessa shoots Nero a worried look. "Is this normal?"

Nero chuckles, "Yeah but no worries. It's just their way of showing they care."

Alessa lets out a sigh of relief ,"Before I forget, what are your names? The older one I can assume is Vergil but he never mentioned your name. "

"The old man didn't even mention my name at all?"

"No he only said nephew, the only reason why I knew your dad's name is because Dante mentioned it, he looks eerily similar to my boss, and his attire kind of gives it away."

" Stupid old man, I'm really going stab to him when I see him. I'm Nero."
