A Demon's Reunion - [DMC5]

Mission 06: Steel Impact

June 15th - 7:25am

"Well she an't dead. Got a pretty smoken body, though. Not that I was-barely even noticed." Nico said.
"You do realize your talking about Sparrow aunt?" Nero said.
"You know, you should go do your thing. I got this...oh yeah meet up with Sparrow and return her jacket I washed it up for her." Nico said, tossing the red cropped leather jacket of Sparrows.
"Sure whatever." Nero replied.

Just as he stood up the ground shook rather violently, looking out the car front windows a rather large demon walked by, seemed as if this was the thing that made the ground under Sparrow moments ago fall through.

"What the hell? Whoa...he's too big to be left alone. I better take care of it." Nero said.
"Could be the demon that separated you and Sparrow." Nico said.
"Could be, stay alert okay." Nero said getting out of the car.

The large demon attacked first which lead the Nero dodging each attack and landed elsewhere.

The demon was called: Gilgamesh - a titan demon.

Looks like Nero would have to deal with this thing before he met up with Sparrow again.

"Look at this asshole, prancing around...no doubt about it. This freak took out the ground from under Sparrow somehow." Nero comments.

And with that his attack started, going for the legs for the moment seemed to be the best bet for now. Attacking two of them made the demon fall a bit, Nero's eyes noticed a red spot on it's back.

"Gotta hammer that soft spot up there..." Nero mutters.

Attacking it proved to be difficult when the demon got up and started to lean from side to side to get him off, what shocked him moments later spikes grew up from it's back as if it was a protection type of thing and so Nero had to jump off and do everything all over again.

After a while it seemed to change area's of that place, but Nero quickly followed after it. Whenever the demon was on two legs that were down he went for that soft spot quickly but as of now the usual back lash happened and Nero had to find another way to get up there.

But it wasn't until a bit later that a certain area had the ground fall from under the demon revealing V.

"What're doing down there?" Nero asked.
"You didn't think you did that all by yourself, did ya?" Griffin laughed.
"You know, I bet you taste like chicken." Nero replied.
"Oh, you ungrateful sonuva- you and Sparrow are a bunch of brats!" Griffin said, he wanted to say more but V held up his cane.
"I'll leave this beast to you. I must press on. Oh, Sparrow should be joining you soon enough." V said walking off.
"Well...Guess it's just you and me, cockroach. Until Sparrow arrives that is." Nero said.

And so the battle continued, Nero knew he could hold up until Sparrow arrived and join the fight. When she did it would make the battle go a bit quicker and she'd also be reunited with one of her aunts that she'd been worried about so much.

Getting back on top of the demons back to land a few more blows to that soft spot he was shoved off and soon he needed to get back up there, but just as he was about to do just that another time a gun shot rang out.

"Miss me?" Sparrow asked.
"You sure took your time!" Nero replied.
"Sorry had to take the long way around." Sparrow said.

And so the battle between those two and the demon proved to be rather well, these two of course worked well with one another and was able to take the demon down a lot quicker then Nero thought it would with just himself there.

But what got them was that the demon once defeated fell to the ground and pretty much slowly started to disappear...was this thing something from that tree?

"This thing's a root, too. What's going on?" Nero asked.
"Who knows...but I'm sure we'll find out." Sparrow sighed.
"Oh right, here. Nico washed it carefully." Nero said, holding out her red cropped leather jacket.
"Thanks...I guess. She really didn't have to do that." Sparrow said, putting it back on.

As as she was doing that Nico pulled up in her car.

"Hey girly! Nice to see ya! Oh! Lady's awake. Got any questions for her, better make it fast." Nico said.
"You found Aunt Lady?" Sparrow asked, running to the car door and opening it.

Sitting right there with a blanket around her body was one of her badass aunts, smiling Sparrow got inside, sitting beside her then carefully hugged her aunt who smiled tiredly while resting her cheek on the young girls head with her hand on the girls arm.

"I'm so glad your okay, Aunt Lady..." Sparrow whispered.
"Don't worry, nothing could kill me that easy." Lady replied.

Sparrow laughed and soon Nero walked in, that's when things got real. Pulling away slightly Sparrow still though held her aunts hand as questions were asked.

Mostly questions on if she remembered what happened to the others, honestly Sparrow wanted to know if her other aunts were okay and what the hell happened to her father...though secretly she was afraid to know if it was bad...
