Devil May Cry: Revolution

Chapter 19

The air was still and silence filled the small groups ears. Jesileth, had been defeated. The rogue demon had been sent back to the demon world from whence he came and the threat to the mortal world was finally over. At least for now.

"Jeeze... The hell WAS that?" Dante asked bewildered.

"That was what I shoulda done in the first place..." Memphis muttered sitting down on a boulder.

"So, you ready to admit this was a stupid idea brother?" Crasious asked crossing his arms. Memphis rolled his eyes and ran his hand through his hair.

"Heh... Yeah I admit. This was not one of my brightest ideas..."

"Oh good! Glad everyone's on the same page then."

"So Memphis..." Nero started. "Mind telling me what made you do all this in the first place?"

"Thought I could handle my father and finally avenge my mother and brother for what he's done to them... Clearly I was a little off..." The king replied rubbing his jaw.

"A little off?" Vergil questioned angrily. "You nearly killed EVERYONE. How is that a LITTLE off?"

"OK OK I get it half-breed. Don't bust a nut over it." Memphis growled. Vergil only glared at the king sitting across from him and turned his head.

"Well... If you're not planning on endangering the lives of millions anymore Memphis I have to get back to the demon world. Work needs to be done. " Crasious pat his brother on the should as he stood up and prepared to take his leave.

"What work could you possibly have to get done?" Memphis questioned with an odd look.

"The paper work you're always dumping on me, unless of course you'd like me to leave it for you until you come home that is." Crasious couldn't help but laugh a little as his brother silently moved away from him.

"You're right Mikey, you should probably get back now..." Memphis watched his brother walk away with a chuckle.

"Hey, Crasious." Nero called making the younger king stop. "Thanks for all your help..." The younger king smiled at Nero's words and shook his head.

"Don't mention it..." He replied. "Take good care of your girlfriend alright?" Nero nodded in turn and threw his arms around Kyrie when she ran to his side. After watching Crasious leave through a portal the young hunters' eyes slowly trailed to the kings' older twin sitting on the boulder with his head hanging tiredly.

"You're lucky you're so beat up Memphis cause I'd love to punch you in the face right now." Nero growled with a grin.

"Way to ruin a nice moment kid." Memphis growled in return lifting his head with the same grin plastered on his face. "I'd let you, but I'm not feeling very generous right now."

"Oh my, it seems the time to take the gold is finally here." Everyone jumped back as the voice of Red Eyes slithered out from the cracks again followed by the same smoky black figure. "So, will the one who seeks power take it?"

"What the hell is he talking about?" Dante sneered, staring down the black thing before him.

"Make your choice; I won't last for long..." With that said Red Eyes flew up momentarily before letting his body evaporate leaving behind a small silver trinket oozing with black smoke. The group stood there in awe and confusion at just what had happened.

"The hell was all that about." Almost immediately after Dante spoke Vergil was all over the little trinket left behind by Red Eyes. "Vergil!" Dante tackled his brother when he ignored him and turned to leave making the two roll across the ground until Vergil managed to break free of Dante with his prize. "Vergil, what the hell?"

"Dante I told you already. I only came back for one thing and one thing alone. I came to retrieve my power and I did that." Vergil swept his hair back quickly and effortlessly. "This is collateral." His mind spoken Vergil turned around picked up his jacket and walked away with his new found power.

"Vergil! Vergil wait!" Dante moved to chase him but Memphis stepped in his path stopping him. "Outta the way."

"Dante, you need to go home now. I'll go after your brother." The king ordered.

"Why are you going to go after my brother?"

"Because I'm supposed to erase your memories about all this that's why..." Dante looked at him rather shocked.

"You're what?"

"I need to erase the memories of this event from your mind so that if you ever saw me or them again." Memphis pointed to Summit and Fin standing with Nero and Kyrie. "You wouldn't be able to recognize us and risk jeopardising anything we may or may not be there to do."

"Huh, so this is strictly business eh?"

"Business as usual..."

"So you gonna start with us and go for my brother?"

"No, I need to start with your brother and work my way to you..." Memphis didn't even wait for Dante to respond before he turned and strode off after Vergil.

"Well, I'm sure the three of you would like to return home by this point so." Fin held his hand out and motioned to the three left standing there to follow Summit through a portal the demon had created. "Shall we head back to Devil May Cry?"
