Mission 00: Prologue
When Dante got off the plane that went from Redgrave City to Jump City, he didn't expect to find a bunch of dudes and dudettes to launch out of the sky from a T-shaped Tower. Then he saw 3 kids who looked to be playing villain. So he decided to give them a taste of their own medicine, oh how fun this will be.
Dante was a tall, handsome young man with a pointed chin, fair skin color, icy blue eyes, and snow white hair that went to the bottom of his neck. He's wearing a crimson red leather stylish duster coat and the sleeves rolled up and a silver skull on the back, a dark grey, almost black long sleeved shirt that has buttons on the collar that were undone, black leather combat pants with a leather belt and a stylish silverish bronze belt buckle, bandages wrapped around his hands and wrists, black fingerless biker gloves on his hands, and big brown square toe harness boots with 2 buckles on each boot, and the straps wrapped all over them.
Over his shoulder was a large guitar bag, but inside it wasn't a guitar, instead, it was his trusty big ass broadsword, Rebellion. Rebellion was rather beautiful, in it's own scary, demonic way, with a skull with the mouth wide open, and full of fangs instead of normal teeth, 2 long horns protruding out of the eyes, but on the other side was a normal skull, it even has a ribcage design on the blade under the crossguard that even had a spine, the pommel was spiked and swirled to the left like a vortex, and 2 femurs connected to the collar bone pointing downward, the tip of the blade itself has 2 curves which made it look a bit like a stinger.
And his trademark pistols, Ebony and Ivory, was a story of their own. Ebony was a black long barrel handgun with a hooked trigger guard, and a small picture of black haired victorian woman. Ivory was similar, but was silver with a rounded trigger guard, and has a picture of a blonde haired victorian woman. On 1 side, they both said 'Ebony and Ivory', on the other, they said 'For Tony Redgrave, By .45 Art Works'. Tony Redgrave was an old alias he went by.
"Now that wasn't nice." Dante said, then he smirked as an idea came into his head. And then he teleported to the Tower.
Meanwhile, back at the Tower, which was made from a T to an H, the hive was pretty much making themselves at home.
"Higher." Gizmo said as he was having a few of his drones putting Cyborg's arm on the wall as a trophy. "A little to the left. A little more. Perfect." He said after his drones finally got it right.
"Slade's gonna have kittens when he hears we whipped the Titans, and took their stinkin' Tower." Gizmo said rather proudly
"Not to mention Robin's favorite fashion statement." Jinx included, obviously liking Robin's belt.
"Ugh! But that's the only thing fashionable around here." She then pointed out, not liking the other Titans' taste.
"Tell me about it. hmph! All their food is way out of date." Mammoth pointed out, but then he just at the blue slimy burger he was holding anyway.
"You think that stuff is rotten? Wait'll ya see their music." Gizmo commented, obviously not liking the tunes that the Titans have in storage, then he just started throwing all their CD's away, repeatedly, while calling them 'crud' and 'snot'.
"Well, I think they actually have nice taste in this kind of stuff, except for the food of course." A smooth, teasing voice said from behind them. They all turned to look at the source, and what they saw made them confused, and get hearts in Jinx's eyes. It was Dante, standing against the wall, with his legs crossed, and casually twirling Ivory around.
"Speaking of fashion, is it Halloween already?" He asked. The Hive looked confused at this question, but Dante just said "'Cause those costumes look pretty big, and not so fly. Y'know, for a bunch of junior D-list villains, I thought you'd have better taste then that." He concluded, obviously mocking their outfits, which totally got under their skins.
"Hey! Do you have any idea who you're talkin' to?" Gizmo said, a little pissed by Dante's mockery of them. Then Jinx walked up and stated "We are the Hive, and we will show the world who they truly need to fear."
"Well then Hive, where's your Queen Bee?" Dante asked looking around. "I mean, if you guys are a Bee Hive, then you must have a Queen, right?" he jested.
"Anyways, back to those costumes. They don't really look so good on you guys." He mocked, then he grabbed ahold of Rebellions handle, looked at the team of junior villains, and said "How 'bout I take them in a little?" And then he removed his sword from his back, which it miraculously didn't fall from, and swung behind him while taking a stance. "Come give it a try." Jinx dared.
Then Mammoth charged at Dante with a clenched fist, but Dante just ducked underneath, and kicked Mammoth's head from behind. And then he landed gracefully, turned to Jinx and Gizmo, who were completely in shock. Mammoth is the strongest guy they know! How can some total stranger with a pretty face and a red coat toss him around so easily? Well their gonna find out in a second. Anyways, he turned to their direction, and asked "Anyone else?". Then Jinx quickly got over her shock, and used her hex powers to make a hole where Dante was standing, but Dante anticipated this and jumped at the last second, Jinx started unleashed a barrage of hexes towards Dante, but none of which found their mark, as he kept dodging in mid-air, and he landed behind Jinx, where he then sheathed Rebellion on his back, got in a stance that said 'Bring it on.' And so the fight of fist to fist has begun. Jinx sent a few left and right hookes, which Dante dodged and ducked under neath easily. She then sent off a series of kicks, 3 where she tried to hit his face, and the 4th were she tried to sweep the legs. But Dante just jumped over that last one, and palm struck her in the gut, which sent her flying in to the wall. "Next?" he asked out loud.
"Your gonna pay for that, ya snot muncher!" Gizmo shouted out as he activated his mechanical arms.
"Snot muncher? What are ya, 5?" Dante mocked, obviously insulting Gizmo's age.
Then, as Gizmo charged at Dante with his arms ready to strike, but then, faster than a speeding bullet, Dante unsheathed Rebellion and sliced 2 of Gizmos arms off. "Sorry kid, daddy gave ya toys, but he can also take 'em away." Dante mocked, then he sheathed Rebellion. But then he took a look around, and realized something.
"Y'know what? This whole time we were fighting, I only noticed just now that we were inside the house. So, whatya all say we take this outside?" Dante asked with a smirk, and the Hive didn't like that, because they knew exactly what they meant.
While this was happening, Cyborg's arm was up and about with a camera sticking out of the middle finger, showing that Cyborg was watching everything.
"Whoa." Cyborg said, impressed that someone actually came to kick the Hive's asses out of the Tower.
"What do you see, Cyborg?" Robin asked, curious as to what's got Cyborg so impressed.
"There's someone taking on the Hive, all by himself." He replied, breathe taken away.
Then Robin looked up to the ceiling, considering they were sneaking back inside from the basement. Then he told the team "Then we need to get up to the roof. ASAP."
The roof of Titans Tower was surprisingly calm, rather peaceful, until a loud bang filled the air. And it came from the door that led from inside the tower to the roof.
"There, now we can duke it out as much as we want." Dante said, obviously ready for another fight.
(Insert song 'Devil Trigger', by Casey Edwards feat. Ali Edwards)
"Attack pattern alpha!" Jinx exclaimed. Then the whole Hive team split up, trying to make Dante choose only one, because they think he can't actually take them all on when they're split up. They'll see.
"Crossroads? Oh which way should I go?" Dante wondered sarcastically, then he took off to where Jinx ran off to, but he knew she would try to ambush him, so he teleported up into the rafters to confuse her, considering she also doesn't know he can teleport just yet, or what else he can do. Then he found Jinx, arms and eyes glowing and everything, but honestly, he's seen much scarier shit than this, in fact, he's got more scarier shit than this.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are, little devil." Jinx said, as if she was playing hide and seek with a 4 year old.
"I'm up here." Dante replied like a child. Then Jinx looked up to see him sitting in the rafters, with his left leg crossed over his right. "I guess people really don't look up when they play hide and seek." He smirked, knowing that little fact would work it's way into Jinx's brain, and it did. She got angry, and just started zapping even more hex beams than before. But Dante just kept teleporting from rafter to rafter, and Jinx finally saw it and was generally shocked. "You can teleport?" She asked with wide eyes. Dante just smirked, hopped off the rafter he was sitting on, and said "Among other things, but I'm afraid that it's just a trick you're probably never gonna get down." That really pissed her off, and she just started going 'zap zap zap' again. He just kept on teleporting from place to place, and rafter to rafter. After having enough fun, and letting his plan work it's way, he teleported out of the area, and made Jinx run after him. That worked, of course, but then Jinx heard a rumbling from behind her, and she looked back to see what was going on, and she saw that her power made the rafter that were holding the H were coming apart!
"Oh crap." She said, then she ran as the whole H fell down into the ocean, and the tower was back to being a T again.
Meanwhile, with Gizmo, he was hiding behind a bunch of crates, getting taser ready for Dante when he gets close enough. Oh! Here he comes now, let's watch. Dante was looking for the little midget, but then he heard a small creak, coming from behind him, and then he just held his arms up as he caught the little annoying nerdy midget that was Gizmo in thin air, and he just threw him at Jinx, who found Dante and was going to try giving him some more bad luck, but the impact of Gizmo slamming into her body forced her into unconsciousness. Then Gizmo looked up and asked "How did you-?" "I heard a creak from the crates behind me, and I felt a shadow from above me. So if you're so smart then maybe you know that even the moon can glow, not just the sun." Dante explained as he and Gizmo looked up towards the moon. Then he walked off to find Mammoth.
He found Mammoth trying to bash him into the wall, but Dante just held out his hands and caught Mammoth in mid charge. "How are you doing this?!" Mammoth said, starting to get a little afraid. Dante just smirked and gave Mammoth a huge head butt to the face, the impact broke his nose. "I'm just stronger than I look." Dante snarked, finally answering Mammoth's question. Then, even though he wasn't equipped with Balrog at the moment, he sent a barrage of powerful capoeira kicks (This is a move in Devil May Cry 5 called 'Pyromania'). The final kick was so powerful, it blew Mammoth all the way bag to Gizmo and Jinx, as just fell on top of 'em, flat on his back, and slipped out cold.
(End song 'Devil Trigger')
"WHOA!" An excited, yet young voice said from behind, Dante looked behind him to see that the Teen Titans were back, and apparently, they were gonna take Hive down themselves, but after seeing Dante whoop their sorry asses across the Tower, they didn't have to anymore.
"Dude, that was awesome!" Beast boy said while running up to Dante. "How did you do all that?!" Cyborg asked, wanting to know how to kick butt like Dante just did. "Can you teach me how to do all that?" Beast boy pleaded. Dante just chuckled, ruffled the kids hair, and said "Maybe when you're older, kid." Then Starfire just zoomed up to him, with red hearts beating in her eyes and a huge smile, and shouted "Hello, red coated handsome man of many talents! my name is Starfire! What is yours?!" "Dante, nice to meet ya beautiful." He charmed, but that also just made Starfire squeal and faint. "Well, that was unexpected." Dante pointed out. "Tell me about it." Cyborg said as he supported Starfire and helped her to her room. "Well anyways, thanks for the hand back there, I'm Robin." He introduced with an outstretched hand, Dante took it and said "Dante, heard about ya." Then he turned to Raven,Beast boy, and Cyborg, who just got back from taking Starfire to her room, and asked "So, what's your names?"
"Raven."
"Cyborg."
"Beast boy."
"Dante, good to meet y'all."
"Well, now that that's out of the way." Robin said as he walked towards Gizmo, who had just regained consciousness. "Cram it. I'm callin' slade." He said, with a transponder then Robin took him from out of the dog pile, and demanded "Who is Slade?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, bark brain?" He replied, not answering the question.
"Actually, we would like to know. You catch on quick, kid." Dante said in a fake impressed tone.
Meanwhile, back at Hive academy, in a secret room (Villains and their secret rooms, am I right? Or am I right?), An elderly woman was of the teams progress, and punishment.
"I assure you, such failures are not tolerated within the hive. Once the agents have been retrieved from the authorities, they will be disciplined, strictly disciplined." She said, showing that she will be thorough with Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo.
Then, a figure covered in shadows came out of nowhere, and said "Actually your agents served my plans quite well. I never expected them to succeed. They were merely messengers, and the message has been received." Then he pressed a button on a trigger handle.
Then, a video of Robin appeared with him saying 'Who is slade?'. Then multiple other screen turned on, with Robin repeating that same question.
"And what of the young man in the red coat?" The woman asked.
The figure narrowed his eye and said "I wasn't expecting him to enter the fray, which has me all the more curious, and concerned. See if you can find anything you can about him, I want to know everything."
He then turned to leave, but then he looked back to the woman and said "And I believe he said his name was 'Dante'."
Back at the Tower, the team couldn't believe how clean the place was, but Beast boy was not as happy.
"NO! This is the worst thing that could ever happen!" He exclaimed out of sheer horror. "My tunes! They've been… Alphabetized." Wait, What?! How is that such a bad thing?
"How am I ever gonna find anything?" He said while looking and throwing various C.D's into the air. "Uh… Start looking?" Dante asked while sitting on the couch with his feet crossed on the table. Then Raven came in, with 2 of her cloaks in her arms. "They went into my room." She said rather coldly. "No one should ever go into my room."
"Why? You hiding something really special in there?" Dante asked teasingly.
"No, I just don't want anyone to go in my room. I have things that mean a lot to me in there Dante, and I really would appreciate if they don't go into my room to touch them or see them. Plus I'm a little organized, So I mostly don't want Beast boy in there." She said with her signature monotone voice.
"Whatever." Dante replied cheekily with a smirk.
Then Starfire let out a loud gasp, got up and said "Someone has disposed of all our blue furry food."
"And that's a bad thing, how?" Dante asked while looking at Raven, who just shrugged her shoulders at that question.
"You gotta be kidding me." Exclaimed an annoyed Cyborg. "The Whole place gets cleaned up, and I still can't find the-" He stopped himself as he heard a whistle. He looked up to see Dante holding the remote for the T.V.
"Ha!" He said with relief. Then he put down the couch, and sat down.
"I guess we really outta be trainin' for battles, trackin' down clues, and tryin' to figure out who Slade is, huh?" Cyborg asked as the rest of the team gathered around.
"We will, but right now, I'm just happy to be part of the team." Robin replied with a smile.
Then Dante stood up, stretched and said "Well, I better get goin'. If there's a place I can find to stay for the next 2 months, then it's not gonna check in all on its own." then he grabbed Rebellion, put it in his guitar bag, and started walking to the front door. The others looked at him leave, a little sad that their new friend is leaving so soon, even though he's only here in Jump City for vacation. And that thought gave Robin an idea.
"Hey, Dante." Robin called out. Dante turned his head around to face Robin. "Yeah?"
"You're here on vacation, right?" He asked, obviously double checking to see if memory serves him well.
"So?" Dante replied.
"So, why don't ya stay with us?" Robin asked with a smile.
"Wait, for real?" Dante asked, wondering if Robin was just kidding around. Then Robin got up from his seat on the couch and walked up to Dante. "Yeah man. I mean it's way better than staying at some expensive hotel, or a cheap motel. Besides, you just saved our Tower from being the new Hive for some queen bee. It's the least we could do." Robin explained.
"Yeah dude!" Beast boy said.
"It would be glorious." Starfire exclaimed.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt." Raven included.
"Yeah, and we can play video games. Somethin' tells me you'll be more of a challenge than green bean though." Cyborg added.
"Hey!" Beast boy exclaimed.
"So, whatya say?" Robin asked.
Dante took a minute, and looked at their faces. Robin just kept professional with a smile, Starfire was giving him puppy dog eyes, Raven was just giving a small smile, and Cyborg was giving him a wide smile with a thumbs up.
"Well, when ya put it that way, why the hell not." He answered.
"Booyah!" exclaimed Cyborg.
"Wonderful!" Starfire said while… hugging Dante?
"Aw yeah!" shouted Beast boy, excited that he has a new homie to chill out with.
"Glad to have you." Raven added monotonically.
"Well then it's settled. Welcome to Titans Tower, Dante." Robin said with a wide smile and an outstretched hand. Dante grabbed his hand, shook it, and said "Happy to be here, Rob."
"So, what now?" Beast boy asked, wondering what's ahead of them.
"Well, y'know what I think?" Dante asked playfully. Then he walked over to the couch, reclined with his feet on the table, put on his trademark smirk and said "I think this is gonna be one helluva party."
