Devil May Cry: Revolution

Chapter 11

" Dante, get your damn foot out of my face... " Vergil growled in the darkness of the dungeon.

" It's not my fault, the bat's on top of me Verg... " Dante mumbled in return.

" Oh both of you just shut up... " Nero grumbled. But no sooner had he finished his sentence, Nero bolted upright in a bit of a panic. " I-I'm really sorry Mr. Sparda sir.. I.. Ehh. " He couldn't find the right words to apologize properly to a man of Sparda's stature.

" Relax Nero, it's quite alright. There's not a lot of space in this small confinement. " Sparda shifted his weight and stood up looking around the darkened space. Vergil just growled and shoved his brother off of himself.

" I said MOVE, IDIOT! " He hissed.

" OK OK you don't have ta bust a nut about it bro... Sheesh.... " Dante groaned as he stood up and looked to the only source of light in the pit they occupied. " So, how do we get out of this mess? " He looked to his father who stood beside his older twin trying to figure out exactly what to do about the situation. Fin however was more interested in trying to find a way up to the top of the dungeon where the rot-iron grate blocked all entry and exit.

" I'd say our best bet is to try and move that covering to get out. " He said finally.

" Well that's all fine and dandy but, how the hell are we supposed to get all the way up there batman? " Dante questioned.

" Simple. I will fly up there and see what I can do, and then I will help the rest of you get out. " With that said Fin transformed into his bat demon form and flew up to the covering and much to everyone's surprise. He actually got out.

" OK so you got out, that's great. Now how do you plan on getting the rest of us out?! " Nero called after him. Fin peered over the edge in human form once more before he vanished over the edge again only returning with a rope twenty or so minutes later.

" Grab on and pull yourselves up! " Fin called down to the warriors. Vergil was the first to attempt to jump up to the rope and grab it. Unfortunately he slid back down to the ground.

" It's too high, you need to lower it more or find a longer rope! " He growled.

" This is as long as it gets and there aren't any longer ones here! " Fin retorted. So Vergil tried again, and again, and again until finally, he managed to grab a hold of the rope and started scaling the wall to the top where he pulled himself out.

" Fantastic.. And you expect us ALL to be able to do that? Vergil's a hell of a lot more agile then I am sometimes... " Dante complained as he readied himself to jump up to the rope. On his first three attempts he missed the rope completely. His fourth attempt, he grabbed it but his hand slipped and resulted in him crashing to the ground. His fifth attempt wasn't any better. " Third time's the charm my ass... " He growled as he tried for the sixth time in a row. Once again he missed and landed on the ground again. Sighing he stood up and shoved Nero over to the wall. " You try it kid. "

" Why me? " Nero questioned.

" Because I said so that's why now come on.. Hurry up and jump. "

" You just want to make fun of me while I try jumping up to it jackass... " Nero muttered as he crouched down a bit then launched himself up to the rope, coming just mere inches from it and crashing back down to the ground. He tried again and just barely missed grabbing it. On his last attempt he grabbed it and hauled himself up to the top where Fin and Vergil waited.

" Hurry it up Dante. " Sparda said in a slightly worried tone as he motioned for his son to try yet again. Dante just sighed and steadied himself one last time before he jumped up and finally managed to grab a hold of his ticket out of the musty hole in the ground. After everyone was finally out they all took a moment to catch their breath before taking a good look at where they were now.
