Devil Bringer (working on revisions)

Part 10: Demons and Guns and Swords, Oh My!

Two chapters in three days after a month's absence? Guess I love spoiling you guys.

Also I have restored my MOTIVATION and decided to continue typing on the computer for the most part to increase production, so hopefully the last few parts for this should be coming out soon. Then it's off to Volume 3, when I get to really fuck around with things!!!

Nero grabbed the demon in front of him and slammed it into the ground violently three times. It's two companions charged him, forcing him to dodge to the side. He followed up by launching one into the air, jumping up to it to slash it around a few times, and finished it off by using his Devil Bringer to throw it into the ground and shooting it three times in the head with Blue Rose as its body spun away.

Without missing a beat in his combo, he snatched the third Empusa and dragged it into the air, jumping off it and pulling it up again. With a quick revving of Red Queen, he slammed it into the floor with a fiery spinning downward slash, bisecting the insect-like demon.

The first one of the trio finally recovered and turned to face the teen. Nero simply loaded Blue Rose again, put it up to the odd, human face-like shape in the middle of the creature's skull, and blew its brains out.

"Guess these are those demons Dante mentioned," Nero said to himself, continuing with a cocky smirk, "They don't seem like all that much."

The teen holstered Blue Rose and continued his march down through the lab's halls.

"And here we were having such a nice day," V commented. His leisurely stroll into a villainous base was rudely interrupted as he and Dante were ambushed by a small group of demons.

"Coming at ya, baby!" Griffon swooped down at an Empusa, knocking it into the air and leaving it open for Shadow to leap up and cut into it like a buzzsaw, bringing it to the brink of death and allowing V to blink in and finish off the demon.

"Where did all these things come from?" V shouted to Dante who was having an absolute blast tearing into the beasts with Rebellion.

"Probably somewhere further into this place. Whoever's in charge here is probably controlling them. We find them—"

"We can stop this insanity," V finished as he stabbed another weakened Empusa in its disjointed jaw, making it explode into blood and its remains disintegrated.

"Yeah. And hey! Maybe we'll pick up Deadweight along the way!" Dante joked as he finished one off with a point-blank shot from Coyote-A.

"That's a pretty shitty joke," Griffon mocked as he fried a group of Empusa with a Blockade, followed by his master defeating them with a quick stab to each.

Dante and V now stood over a bloodied floor with no more demons in sight. V leaned a little heavier on his cane while Dante took a few deep breaths.

"Well, that was a fun warmup!" Dante quipped, "Hopefully they got something more challenging further inside!"

As Dante set off again, V shook his head as he and his familiars followed the man in red. Once he caught up, Dante realized something.

"Hey, you're Will's kid, right?" Dante pointed at him. V seemed to tense up a bit.

"Which Will are you talking about? There's quite a few," V strained out.

"Ozpin said your name when he briefed me before the mission and I was like, 'Victor Blake? I know another guy with that last name!' He's actually my roommate. I don't care much for his writing, but he keeps the bills paid when I can't, so that's nice."
