A Demon's Reunion - [DMC5]

Mission 11: Reason

June 15th - 11:02 am

After explaining to V about his battle with Urizen and mentioning how he wasn't too sure what happened afterward he remained silent as he leaned upon a part of the demon tree roots. Arms crossed and stare just looking at the ground.

"Our last hope, Nero and Sparrow...was completely useless." V sighed.
"Hey, watch it. That's my daughter your speaking about." Dante said, defending Sparrow.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to insult you," V replied.

"V, get Nero and my daughter out of here! This was a bad move!" Dante said, in his devil trigger form.
"Nero go! You're just dead weight." Dante told Nero.

"That bastard called me dead weight! I didn't come all this way for nothing!" Nero shouts.

As V dragged Nero off Griffin carried Sparrow out by his claws and flew out of there.

Urizen moved his hand back, turning it into a fist and then shoving it forwards towards Dante, who in return was sent backward, his sword Rebellion breaking in pieces as he landed on the ground harshly.

With Freya, she was shoved to the ground hard as well but she managed to hit her head making her pass out instantly, Urizen then sent his tentacles towards the two wrapping a few around the body of Freya.

"This...is power," Urizen said.

Some of them also wrapped around Dante's form, though Trish sent the devils sword Sparda to Dante who caught it. His eye glow red and he transformed back to his Devil Trigger, but just as he cut them all off him the ones around Freya molded something around her.

Looking towards her area he saw whatever was happening to her had this weird light blue glow and soon his ears picked up some sort of sound like...ice? or crystal forming. When they pulled away from her the still form of Freya was trapped within a rather large crystal shape.

"Freya..." Dante whispers.
"Now I can protect her...she she'll no longer have fear nor pain..." Urizen said, having them bring the crystal closer to his side as a smaller form of a tree appeared and wrapped around the crystal with Freya still inside.

Annoyed and angered by this Dante ripped out the moving tentacle that was stabbed through his chest, and went for the attack. But Urizen just hit him away and forced Dante to be thrown out of that place landing elsewhere.

"The devil's sword Sparda no longer serves a purpose. I have plans for both of you. You will exist to give me strength. How fortunate to serve such divine purpose." Urizen says capturing Lady and Trish

"All right, enough's enough. Can't let a boy and a girl...do a man's job." Dante said, taking the devils sword Sparda.
"Hey, wait! I'm not done talking yet-" V said, but fell to his knees.
"Okay, you get some rest. By the way...I guess I owe you one." Dante tells him.

Meanwhile, V stares at his hand as it slowly began to break and wither away.

After that little talk, Dante left and went on ahead, as he made his way through his mind went towards both Sparrow and Freya. He knew Freya was somewhat safe due to that crystal or whatever but his daughter, on the other hand, he wasn't so sure.

'My kid can handle herself in a fight with demons...but this one is more powerful then we thought. I just hope I get back to her in time.'Dante thought.

Area after area Dante killed any demons that tried to stop him, heck he even took down a few roots to just continue forwards. He knew he had to get back quickly so he needed to act fast and did his best to take down the demons quick as he could.

Though when he did come across a road there was shit everywhere and cracks all over the place, however as he walked down this road about halfway through he heard something being thrown behind him and quickly spun around using the sword Sparda to cut through whatever it was.

However, he saw the demon that was responsible for it.

"Is it Halloween already?" Dante asked.
"Sparda..." The demon muttered.
"That costume looks a little bit...I thought you had better taste than that...How about I take it in a little?" Dante asked.

The demon Dante was about to face was indeed 'Cavaliere Angelo', and he felt it might just be one hell of a good fight. Just something the man needed for someone who took a month long nap.

Dante's battle began, but just as he was defeating the demon he took notice that the parts of a former motorbike that the parts falling off this demon and attaching to the broken parts. With a smirk, he continued to attack and noticed Trish inside there, however that happened Dante used his new bike as he caught Trish in his arms just as she fell out and rode his bike a bit away before stopping.

"Whoa, looks like I took in a little too much. You okay?" Dante says then asks her.
"I've been better," Trish says.

Carefully getting off the bike Dante gently lays Trish on the road.

"Dante..that demon is-" Trish tries to say.
"Shh. Don't even think about it. Just rest." Dante tells her.
"But he has..." Trish tries again.
"Don't worry I know," Dante replies.

Just as he stood up V finally caught up.

"Dante!" V shouts.
"Take care of Trish for me!" Dante replies, getting on his bike.
"Dante, wait-!" V said but fell to his knees just as Dante left.

With Griffin following Dante, V slowly got up to his feet and headed towards Trish, placing some sort of blanket over her as he sat down a little ways away from her and silently read his book as he waited for her to wake up.

June 15th - 11:40 am

Trish soon wakes up after minutes of resting, gasping she holds the blanket over her body and look towards V.

"Dante's left..." Trish says.
"Yes...And I don't think he can win." V says, turning the page in his book.
"What was that demon, V? Where did it come from? Urizen is not a demon, I know that for a fact because I'm from the Underworld. My God, what are you, then?" Trish asked.
"It doesn't matter, I'm a shadow of my former self who lost everything. And tried to protect what had always mattered most. I will tell you the story of my birth." V says, closing his book.

Whatever V was about to tell Trish would be revealing, and soon dots would be connected.
