Devil May Cry
CHAPTER 1:
Nero clutched the present he was going to give to Kyrie as her sweet melodic voice filled the streets from the church Nero was running to. The present was a gold necklace. Nero was late as his demonic arm wrapped in a cast was beating on his chest. It was wrapped so that citizens wouldn't know he was a demon. Just then, as Nero's heart was beating wildly, at least five demons jumped out in front of him. He took out his sword, the red Queen, and sliced them into thousands of pieces. Nero stood there as the inhuman creatures fell to the ground. He continued running the last mile. He finally made it with time to spare. Nero sat in the only seat as Kyrie finished her song. He put on his headphones and was breathing heavily. Kyrie finished as she saw Nero looking up at her. Kyrie walked of stage and Sanctus , the priest of the church spoke.
"2,000 years ago, the dark knight, Sparda, turned against his demon brethren. He picked up his sword for the sake of Mankind, though despite his brave efforts in our names."
Nero looked as if he were getting tired.
"I fear some have forgotten the truth of a great sacrifice", Sanctus continued as Credo,
one of the guards glanced at Nero.
"If that event were to reoccur. The fusing of both human and demonic realms, we weak humans, we would have no means by which to oppose our sub-mission."
Kyrie walked up to Nero and sat down beside him.
"And so I ask you to unite! And pray that even if such a dark time of chaos were to revisit us, our gracious savior will shelter us from the storm. Let us pray!'' Sanctus held his hands together and everyone in the crowd did the same.
Nero slapped his headphones off and stood up.
"Nero... What's wrong?" Kyrie whispered.
"I'm outta here." he replied.
"But its not over yet.'' said Kyrie.
"All this preaching is putting me to sleep." Nero said as he stood up and walked away.
Kyrie followed. They heard a light tap as a big man in red busted in through the glass ceiling.
A million shards of glass scattered as he fell thirty feet from the air. He landed on the podium in front of Sanctus. He raised his ivory gun and shot Sanctus in the head. There was a brief
silence as everyone looked up at the man in red. He slowly turned around with blood on his face.
"Your Holiness!'' Credo screamed as all the guards drew there swords.
They ran after him and the man in red killed them one by one. Kyrie and Nero stood there and watched the horror. Nero and Kyrie ran away as Credo checked Sanctus's body.
"No!'' he cried.
The man in red continued killing the guards. He stared down at Credo holding Sanctus in
his arms. Nero and Kyrie were running out the exit when Kyrie stopped.
"Credo!'' she yelled as she ran away.
"Kyrie!", screamed Nero and he chased after her.
One last guard ran up to the man in red but the man in red turned and shot him. The last guard flew back into Kyrie and she fell. The man in red stood over Kyrie and wiped the blood of his face. Kyrie was shaking as Nero ran and kicked him in the face. The man in red jumped in the air as Nero shot his double shot revolver, Blue Rose, and took a shot at him. The man in red took out his sword and blocked it. The man in red landed on the thirty foot statue of Belail. Nero jumped up on the statue along side him, and they both pointed their guns at each other.
"Nero!" yelled Kyrie.
"Kyrie!" yelled Nero. "Go with your brother and get out of here!"
"I will return with help!" yelled Credo, "Just hold here until then."
They continued pointing their guns at each other.
"Huh...I'm not going to hold my breath" Nero said as he yanked his headphones off the
ground.
It distracted the man in red and Nero shot his gun. The man in red ducked at the last brief second. Then he and Nero jumped and they were having a gunfight in mid-air. They both landed without a scratch. Nero had his gun out pointing it at the man in red and the man in red had his sword behind his back.
"You got a jacked up notion of fair play pal, and its beginning to piss me off", The man in red said.
Nero shot his gun and his used bullets fell from the barrel of his gun. He threw more bullets in the air and swung his gun and they landed perfectly in the barrel. He pointed his gun at him again and he was gone. The man in red appeared out from behind the pillar behind Nero.
"I guess this doesn't quite cut it." Nero said as he turned around and took out his sword and stabbed it on the ground. He twisted the handle and it made a roaring noise that sounded like a motorcycle.
"Why are you packin' a sword like that if your not going to use it!" Nero said .
The man in red ran at Nero and they were having a sword fight until they broke away. They stood 5 yards away and the man in red threw his sword at Nero but he blocked it with his cast arm. A bright light filled the room. Nero's Demonic arm was shown.
"You got a trick up your sleeve." said the man in red.
"If its a trick you looking for... Then try THIS!", Nero said.
He took the sword out of his arm and threw it a the man in red. The man in red caught it.
"Looks like you too are a-" the man said but Nero threw his sword at him. The man moved his head and the sword hit the statue behind him.
"Hate to interrupt, but I wanna wrap this show up before the cavalry arrives!" Nero said with his inhuman hand showing. The man hit Nero's Demonic arm and Nero grabbed the sword and threw the man into a bench. When the man hit the bench, it scooted back five feet and it gathered up a big pile of benches and the man was sitting on the bench relaxing.
"So your lookin' to play huh?" the man said. "Alright I guess I got some time to kill...", he said standing up.
"Tough guy, huh?", Nero said grabbing his sword "Well..." Nero kicked a bench into the man and the man jumped up on the chandlers and jumped back down. When he reached the ground, he looked up at Nero who was on the seven foot stack of benches.
"I think I'll take it down a few notches" said Nero.
"Whatever you say kid", said the man.
Nero jumped up from the stack and punched the man with his demonic arm. But the man took out his sword and blocked it. They were both pushing but Nero pushed harder. The man fell to the floor and Nero punched him repeatedly in the face. The man's arm starts to glow red. Nero swung him and his sword at the statue and the sword pierced threw the man and he was hanging from the statue by the sword.
"Getting better...", Nero said as he turned around then the man slowly raised his head.
"I would even go as far as to say I underestimated your...abilities" the man said as he jumped of the statue. He reached the ground with the sword still in his body.
"You aren't human, are you?" Nero asked.
"We're the same... You and..." the man said as he pulled the sword out of his chest. The dark red blood poured out but not a scratch.
"...And them." Nero looked at a dead guard beside him with no helmet and he had an inhuman burnt-like head.
"Though I suspect you have something different from the others" the man said appearing on the broken glass ceiling as Nero looked up at him.
"What are you talking about!" Nero yelled.
"You will come to learn the meaning soon enough.", the man said standing up. "But... business beckons." He turned around and left.
"Hey!" Nero said shooting at the window.
The man in red poked his head back in. "Adios kid." he said leaving.
The other guards came into the door behind Nero followed by Credo. Credo looked around at the damage they had made. Kyrie walked in struggling, dragging a case. Nero came to help.
"You brought this here for me?" Nero said
"Credo requested." Kyrie said. "She yearns for your touch."
"Thanks. This blade's the best battle companion a swordsman could wish for." Nero said as he chunked the case across the room. He opened it and was equipping items. Kyrie saw something shine from across the room. She walked across and a golden necklace stood there.
"Fortuna Castle, huh?" Nero said.
"That's what the witnesses said. Guy just came from hell, he's gotta hit up a couple tourist sites." Nero made roaring sound of his sword.
"You jest so lightly in a time of crisis!" Credo said angrily as Nero put his sword behind his back "You must capture him."
"Don't worry I'll get it done." Nero said.
"Please be careful, you still haven't recovered." Kyrie said.
"No time, duty calls." Replied Nero as he saw the golden necklace he was going to give her. "Can't pass on a emergency."
"I must return to headquarters and report." said Credo as the ground started to shake.
