A short Devil May Cry story,
set AFTER the events of DMC1,2,3&4.
By X-Phile Tom. (Thomas Riley).
It was a nice warm Sunday afternoon, as Dante walked down the street towards his usual cafe, he sat at the bar as usual and waved 3 fingers to the waiter who immediately brought him out a huge strawberry ice cream sundae. "You sure to love your ice cream" the barman who had been serving the same thing to Dante for the last 7 years, "I sure do" Dante said the words with an uneasy smile on his face. Something was wrong today he could tell. He remembered the first time he had come into this building 7 years ago it used to be a pub a rough place, he'd come here on a mission to kill some demons and after hed asked the barman to make the place more child friendly, and now 7 years on here he was sitting in an ice cream cafe full of families and children. He placed his usual 3 dollars on the table and thanked the barman on his way out, he had eaten the same thing everyday for the past 100 years sausage and onion pizza followed by strawberry ice cream sundae, but boy did Dante love his ice cream! It was his 2300th birthday in a weeks time and his knew Trish and Lady would be planning something for him, they had done for the past 4 years ever since he got back from Mailai island. Dante arrived home later than usual what with the building work and everything to find Lady sat at his desk seemingly waiting for him, "And you want what from me this time" he sounded agitated. "Next week were going on a trip to the remains of mailai island to celebrate your birthday as a gift from me im dropping 500,000 dollars from your debt so you only owe me another 950,000 dollars." she smiled at him. "Thats great" he said in such a sarcastic tone it forced the smile right off Lady's face."I think Trish has gotten you something to add to your sword collection, if she asks i didn't tell you.". "So you both got me the same as you do every year, and yet here i am still in debt, eating the same meal everyday, killing demons for a living.". "At least you still have your ice cream." she said with a broad smile on her face. "Yea i cant argue there i do love my ice cream.". They sat there laughing for a good few minutes until Lady stood up and walked straight out the main door "I guess ill see you at mailai island.". "see you there." he called after her and then sat in his chair "This will be interesting".
The following Sunday, Dante's birthday at mailai island. "We have an extra special birthday surprise for you this year Dante." Trish and Lady looked at one another with smiles on there faces. "Most of Mailai island has regenerated now and the fault lines in the crack from the demon world to the human world are still damaged so this whole area is crawling with demons as your gift from us you get to kill all of them by your self using this new sword we had made for you especially." Trish hands Dante a sword its almost twice the length of his old sword and the handle is in the shape of a spinal cord with a ribcage and skull with a T bone on it separating the huge blade from the thin defined handle. "Awesome this sword is perfect, whats it called?". "The Hollow Reaper.". "Well id better test it out, how many demons are roughly on the island?". "Aproximatly 60 according to the photographs we got.". Before she could continue he was running into the sunrise guns at the ready to take out the first demon.
