May 16th - 8:06pm

Many bystanders stood outside their homes looking and taking pictures of what was before them, in front of all those people stood a demonic looking tree which was an odd looking thing. But to those who knew demons were real it meant trouble.

One person knew just whom to call for this mess

Morrison slowly walked up to the crowd as he saw the three, smoking a cigar.

"We've known each other a long time...Ya never had this much trouble. You two gonna make it through this, Dante, Freya?" Morrison asks himself.

Meanwhile dark roots covered all over the place as well as blood, the stench was beyond belief, four people were busy battling the big demon before them who was sitting on some sort of 'throne' like chair, this demon had become the knew king and was causing many demons to attack humans killing them.

Dante and Freya were working together to do their best to defeat this demon king, they had a certain feeling they knew just who this was but they knew they'd have to find out for themselves when the time was right.

As the two partners in crime were fighting it off Nero, Sparrow and V arrived.

"What am I doing here, he's got this." Nero sighed.
"I don't know about you but my old man is gonna get an earful from me for leaving me behind." Sparrow scoffed.
"You should know underestimate this demon. After all, it was he who took your arm...and gained a great deal of power from it." V said talking to Nero.
"Just great..." Sparrow sighed.
"I'm leaving...I suggest you two don't fall behind." V says and leaves with whatever black mist under his feet guiding him away.

Sparrow sighed and shook her head, this guy was an odd fellow but it wasn't Sparrow's first time meeting people like that on demon hunting jobs.

"Well let's go join the party." Sparrow says, small smile as she pats Nero's shoulder once and jogs off.

Nero soon caught up to Sparrow and the two worked together as some demons came up from the ground and stopped them from getting further, course they weren't any match for the two as it seemed like Sparrow and Nero worked rather well together.

Not to mention Sparrow was used to using her demonic abilities and strength as her father Dante trained her with it.

"So do you really think we can trust, V?" Nero asked.
"Not sure...but were here now so no use in turning back." Sparrow replied.
"Got that right." Nero replied.

Anytime the two got a bit closer and closer they were stopped by many demons, though honestly they didn't stand much of a chance to put up a big fight with those two. Soon they met up with V and he stayed behind to take care of the rest of these demons that appeared.

Letting the two of them go on ahead to join the battle.

Following the path before them they came up to a ledge where over-top it seemed like something that of a door was just ahead where Sparrows father and aunts were.

"Hold on dad...we're almost there." Sparrow whispered.
"Let's go, they can't have all the fun now can they?" Nero asked.
"Heh, nope we deserve a bit of it as well," Sparrow smirks.

Jumping down the two runs towards the door and once they open it they are shocked at what they see, a rather large demon sitting not moving a damn inch. Dante and Freya being thrown back and landing rather harshly on the ground, Lady and Trish on the ground barely moving.

"Dad!" Sparrow shouts, running to his side.
"Sparrow...dammit kid get out of here this is my gig," Dante says before passing out for a moment.
"Stupid old man, we work together on these." Sparrow shakes her head.

Looking up at the demon after hearing a gunshot she realizes the demon king tried to get her with some odd tentacles? Thanks to Nero though he shot it away, next Nero brings out his sword, Sparrow however with a glare she pulls out her gun, Rattle-Snake pointing it towards the demon king.

"It's our turn now," Nero says.
"Let's rock," Sparrow replies.

And with that, the two begin to fight off with the demon king, but it still didn't phase the demon, he still sat there as some sort of large crystal in the way or he was just not that affected much at all.

This demon was strong it sent out purple flares and large flame like balls managing to hit them at any given moment. Not giving up the two continued on until they were thrown back and landing harshly on the ground like the others.

"Dammit..." Sparrow whispered.

Sparrow tried to get up but and just as she was trying to the demon king was ready to give the final blow on her and Nero but a gunshot took his attention of them and back on Dante. He was back on his feet with his guns out.

"Round two," Dante smirked.
"Dad..." Sparrow voiced out then fell unconscious.

V happened to arrive and was horrified at the sight that they weren't winning, the demon king was far more powerful then anyone thought so this quick move was a bad idea. Turning into his Devil Trigger he brought out his sword Rebellion and attacked the demon king.

"V, get Nero and my daughter out of here! This was a bad move!" Dante shouts at him.
"I can still fight!" Nero replies.
"Nero, go! You're just dead weight!" Dante shouts back.

Griffon fly's over to the passed out form of Sparrow and uses his claws to grab a hold of her jacket and shirt letting her arms and legs hanging down limp, flying up a good distance he does his best to fly the girl out of there while V forces Nero back who mind you was trying to get back into the fight but was convinced to run by V.

'If all else fails you two need to get stronger if this fight goes south.' Dante thinks glad his daughter would be safe until she woke up.

As they got away safely the demon king brought his fist back and then straight towards Dante, the force pushed him back, forcing him out of his Devil Trigger and shockingly breaking the blade of his sword.

Elsewhere a part of the tree broke and out came, Nero along with V and Sparrow on some sort of familiar V had summoned as he was the one holding Sparrow in his arms. Morrison saw this and rushed over.

"What happened to Dante? Where's Dante?" Morrison asked.
"He's buying time, but...it doesn't look good." V replies.

A few seconds later roots came through the street and sadly some people were stabbed through the stomachs of them.

"This can't be happening...Dante lost?" Morrison asked.

When Nero was going to attempt to help V stopped him, there really wasn't much he or anyone could do at the time. But honestly they needed to get out of there and see what they could do to get both Nero and Sparrow stronger...but first, she needed the rest and time to heal in order for her to fight.

The best thing they could do for now was take Sparrow to Nero's and Kyrie's home to recover.
