A Demon's Reunion - [DMC5]

Mission 15: Diverging Point: Nero & Sparrow

June 15th - 1:13 pm
[Meanwhile...]

Nero and Sparrow landed together side by side safely, though Nero's Devil Bringer was nearly broken already.

"Dammit, running a little low...Not gonna last much longer without a refill." Nero sighed.
"Well, if Nico can make it here then you can do just that." Sparrow shrugged her shoulders.

But just as Sparrow finished saying those words a car horn went off, and not long later the van pretty much flew over their heads. Landing on their right, wow...talk about perfect timing.

"Hey, honey. Need assistance?" Nico asked.
"What the hell's your problem? You TRYING to kill us!?" Nero said back, annoyed.
"If you wanna bitch, blame it on Lady. SHE's behind the wheel." Nico replies.

Lady just appears through the van's window and waves with a smile on her face, Sparrow chuckles and walks up to her aunt. As the two women chat with one another (and plan a few new moves of attack) Nero goes inside the van to get more of his Devil Breakers before he and Sparrow head off.

Once Nero was finished getting more of his Devil Breakers then they had headed off, when the two came up to a certain point they noticed from the ground in three spots were spikes appearing then out...well this should be fun.

"Little bit more of a challenge huh?" Sparrow asked.
"Well there are crossroads." Nero replied.

Sparrow grinned and pretty much the two got through it with ease once they figured out the best form of action. When they did other parts were like before, of course the two killed any demons in their way as they both continued forward.
There really wasn't much time to waste now of course...

Dropping down through a large area demons surfaced and so the two friends worked together to bring them down in big hopes of getting out of there quickly, it took a bit of time but they did end up winning and without much of a second thought moving on to the next place.

Place after place the two faced off different types of demons they encountered in the past and each time they won each battle they even could hear the others fight off other demons in different places of that one area.

"Looks like my dad is having a good time." Sparrow said.
"Well let's keep moving, if we want to get to that Demon King first that is." Nero said.
"Yeah..." Sparrow replied.

With more area's to pass by and more demons to kill the two soon came up to a dark area and with a purple glow to it.

Whatever this place was there was a demon nearby both Nero and Sparrow could feel it.

When they arrived they saw the demon Malphas, looking at one another they nod their heads in a silent agreement.

"I'm cooomiing..." Malphas says.

V was pressed up on the wall behind him hoping it would be good enough to hide himself. But when Nero and Sparrow aimed their guns and shot at the demon he soon looked over and saw just who it was.

"Someone call for an ass-kicking?" Sparrow asked, smirking.
"Gotta pay attention, sweetheart." Nero says.
"Sparda's kin...But you're nothing more than an empty shell with no power. Hmm...but she seems to have some however...Ha! You are as weak as your flesh, human." Malphas says.
"Hey, we're tougher than we look. But...there's only one way to find out." Nero replied.
"I will enjoy this." Malphas tells.
"May I join in on the fun, Nero?" Sparrow asked.
"If you think you can keep up." Nero replies, small smile.
"Oh your on." Sparrow says.

And so the battle with Malphas began, this demon was indeed tough and this battle did make the two go a bit all out but in the end they were indeed able to defeat the demon even with how well the two were working together.

"And you thought I couldn't keep up." Sparrow said.
"I knew you could, just wanted to tease ya." Nero replied.

Sparrow rolled her eyes and shook her head, well whatever now all they needed to do was meet up with V and head out together so she could see her dad. But...it looked like things wouldn't be that quick...

"You can come out now." Nero said.
"I guess I owe you two." V told them.
"You should turn around. Your body's not gonna last much longer." Nero said after seeing V stumble a bit.
"Nero's right, V. Don't push yourself to hard." Sparrow told.
"That, I cannot do. I must go!" V tells them, but falling to his knees.
"Dammit, V!" Nero said catching him.
"V you need rest." Sparrow said catching him as well.
"Don't push yourself. You need some rest!" Nero tries to reason with him.
"I must go...to where Urizen is." V says ignoring the offer to rest.
"Why!? Why the hell do you have to-" Nero said but got interrupted.
"I beg you both! This is my last request." V says.

Nero and Sparrow looked at one another, Sparrow nodded her head to tell him that they needed to help V in any sort of way.

"Fine. Dante's definitely gonna beat us there..." Nero said.

Both Nero and Sparrow moved each of V's arms over their shoulders and helped him walk, though for them it was gonna be a bit slower so Dante would for sure get to Urizen much faster then the three of them.
