As he Kicked the doors off the hinges, You and Dante walked out of the shop to see nothing but demons. You both pressed on and turned back at his new shop, with horror.

"Damn it! You guys totally wreaked my shop! And I haven't even named it yet!" He cried, knowing not only would fixing it be a shitload of money, but the loan he got just to buy it wasn't even paid off yet.

How would he explain this to the bank!

You felt bad for him before you take out both your weapons ready to fight.

"You're gonna pay for that." He growled, throwing his sword up to get his coat on, grabbing the sword precisely at the right time. Sadly all the movement kicked up the debris and he sneeze, which somehow made his whole shop cave in.

You drop your jaw and Dante  looked back in more horror as he watched his new home collapse. You both turned back to the demons, "I hope you all have enough to cover all this!" He yelled as he ran toward the demons, slicing them in half and you shot them with fire. 

This was a good anger to release for him.

In the mist of your work, however, the ground began to shake. Figuring this was no earthquake, Dante looked around to see a humongous tower rise from the ground. Atop this tower he could see his brother, with two other people he didn't know.

"It's been nearly a year since we last met... where does the time go?" He spoke, looking at his brother, who he could tell was looking back at him then he saw you. Vergil held something in his hand and you could sense something that belongs to you

One demon he was fighting suddenly got up and ran away, he tried to shoot it but it didn't work, as it was a phantom like demon. He sighed and watched as it laughed away. He decided to follow, heading toward the tower. 

"No doubt you've got some fun planned for me... right Vergil?!" He shouted, but then he was stopped by you who grab his long coat at the end. Dante turns around seeing that you've got question you wanna asked even though you are really desperate to get your voice back.

Dante could read your questionable expression and decided to tell you. "You're thinking who's Vergil huh, babe?" you nodded. "Vergil....is my older twin brother."

You tilt your head. Twins? You didn't know he had a twin. He barley even talks about his family issues or his past.

"He hates me, and I hate him. It happen a while back when a demon killed our mother. I never saw him and now he is stupidly raising chaos." He explains. "I thought he was dead, but now I know he survived, he doesn't think human-kind is good to him. He thinks demons should finished off all the human race."

You felt pity for him. You walk towards him and grab his hand and softly squeeze his palms. Dante sighs and squeeze before making up his mind. "Change of plans, you're coming with me. It's not safe to stay here now that my shop is a wreck and I am the only one who's gonna explain to the bank about this and I'm the only one who didn't get paid enough property damage!"

You pat his shoulder.  "Try not to leave my side, got it?" he asked.

You nodded and then you playfully shove him. He tight his hand for you to follow him to make sure that you knows that you both will being staying close to each other from now on and make sure that you got each other's back.

You and Dante are heading towards the strip club. He knew his way around the town and knew there was two exits, one of which would get him passed the roadblock. 

The only reason he knew the layout of the strip club though was because you both had gone in there multiple times, sometimes to catch his business manager Enzo, other times for his own enjoyment.

While he couldn't drink, he could see the dancers. Too broke to afford them though...




After some chit chat Dante had an easy time getting into the tower, as it was not heavily guarded except for some low level demons. You and him walked into an icebox it seemed, as the room was cold and covered in ice, a giant ice Cerberus blocking the main door.

It was chained to the wall but almost hit you with an ice shard. Dante went in front of you and chopped it in half as the dog cried, "Leave now, mortals! The likes of you are forbidden in this land! You who are powerless are not worthy to set foot here!"

Dante disregarded everything the Cerberus said though, seeing as it didn't apply to him.

"Woooww I've never seen a talking mutt before! You know, in a dog show, you'd defiantly take first place!" He joked, which angered the pup.

"You, a mere humans, make a mockery of me?!" it screams,

You and Dante dodged a icy attack and looked back toward the pet. "Easy Fido, how about I take you for a walk? C'mon puppy, let's go!" He continued, loving how angry the demon mutt got at him.

"You'll both regret this, you worms!" The dog yelled

You crack your knuckles and your neck before pulling out your Song Of Fury while Dante just got ready to fight, "It's showtime."

The weak spot were the heads, but they could not be reached at the moment, so You went for the legs, hitting them until the dog fell. He jumped and began to slice away at all the heads until only one head remained and there was enough damage done to send the dog flying back.

"You two are not humans, are you?" The dog asked as Dante shrugged.

"This Hot Chick, yes." Dante pats your head affectionately. "Me? Who knows! I'm not even sure myself!" The truth was he did know, but didn't know if there was a word for it besides human/demon hybrid.

Unlike you, Dante knows about you since the moment you guys first met, you slightly can heal, but it will only took you two days to recover. And when Rodin addresses you as Dragon-Phoenix, it's like you and him are like equal companions.

You  never seem dangerous and you never look at him differently. Which made him feel a bubbly feeling towards you that drives him crazy to learn about you.

When he was younger, he never knew his dad was a demon, but he knew now. In his internal thoughts, Dante missed the fact that the dog gave up its souls to him.

He grabbed the glowing orb, which promptly turned into a pair of three-pronged nun-chucks. He decided to try them out, swinging them around and trying a bunch of different combos, some of which made him look a little dumb.

"Too easy." He remarks how it was too easy for him to get a grasp on the weapon, but he didn't mind.

As you and him walked toward the exit, a motorcycle flew through the window and landed on you and him, almost.

Dante made you duck your head and jumped up and dodged, looking back toward the driver.

"Are you going to the party? What's the hurry? Didn't you get the invitation?" He asked the woman, who didn't reply.

She only shot a rocket at him, which he jumped on and rode around till he crashed it into the wall. Landing on his feet, you looked back toward the woman who drove towards Dante, almost running him over. In this, a feature of hers caught his eye; she had heterochromatic eyes.

You narrow your eyes in curiosity. Dante walk next to you before setting his arm around your shoulder leaning in before look to see the the woman started her motorcycle and drives close to you but missed both of you by an inch.

"This just keeps getting better and better!" Dante said sarcastically as he looked out the window the lady exited from. Then, he pressed on by dragging you by your hand.
