Devil May Cry Shop

Everyone was gathered in the shop. Minus Team RWBY, Cloud, Aether, Paimon, Furina, Morrigan and the devils. This was only just for the devil hunters. Nero wanted to know why Dante and Vergil didn't come home even if they came back, and why Morrigan didn't tell him about the two. 

It was a very long story, but Dante retold the best he could. Upon meeting his estranged daughter, about Damien and his identity, to the devils, and just about everything on his side. For Vergil, he left by himself to find his own redemption path, which led him to partner with Raven, saving Ei, as well as meeting Xenovia, Irina, and Team JNR. The only thing he left out was accidently restoring Sephiroth to his full prime. 

Nero began his side of the story, upon meeting Cloud, Team RWBY, saving Fontaine and allying with Aether, Furina, and Paimon. And after hearing Team JNR arriving in Japan, Jaune asked they would follow them. That is what led to Nero and his team deciding to go to Japan, unbeknownst to the chaos they just avoided. 

Dante: Alright, now that the recap is done, what else? How's life treating ya, Nero? 

Nero: Seriously need to ask?

Trish: Come on, at he deserves to know a little bit. 

Nero: Why should I bother telling them about it? They've been gone for a couple years, and I was left with so many questions unanswered!

Dante: *sigh* Nero...

Vergil: Listen, Nero. Dante said it himself, it was because of you we could go. He knew you'd do well protecting this world without us. 

Nero just sighs and looks away from the two, then looking at his lost cousin, Lucille. 

Nero: Where were you when... everything was happening? Two years ago?

Lucille: Look, I wanted to help as much as you do, but there were people here I needed to protect as well. 

Dante: She has her reasons, Nero. So just give her a break. 

Damien: *stands up* I'm a bit out of the loop after I've lost consciousness. What happened?

Dante: Tsk.... Uh... Should we tell him, brother?

Vergil: Why are you asking me? He's looking at you. 

Dante: *sigh* ... Well, for starters. Kokabiel dropped the big truth in our faces. Apparently our old man was involved in God and the Devil King's death during the three way war. 

Lady: You mean to tell us that... Sparda killed God?

Dante: To be honest, Lady. The truth he said was sounding vague... *sigh* I just wish we knew more. We'd ask our old man, but... 

Vergil: He's gone... Maybe dead. 

Nero: *shakes head* ... I can't believe this shit. 

Nico: Look, I know you're an atheist, Nero, but give them some slack. Besides, pretty much what happened this night is a pretty big mystery for all of us. 

Nero: *sits down* Yeah... And to this very moment, I'm still filled with many questions. 

Dante: ... Well, Nero... You'll have plenty of time to ask them. How's about sticking around for a while? 

Nero: What?

Lucille: Hey, this could be a chance for us to know each other too. How about it?

Nero: I... *sigh* 

Lady: I'm honestly thinking about settling down here too.

Trish: Uh, no. I kinda like it here. I think it's suites me.
