Devil May Cry
PROJECT A.D.A.M.
Mission 1: Quick Silver
"Assail the Light Footed Fiend"
It was already night time as he walked through the Neon Lit streets of the city, he could not help but scornfully pity the humans he passed, "humans" he thought, "so vain and arrogant" he reflected, smiling as if remembering a joke.
He watched them laughing and chattering away going about with their so called night life, some going into movie theatres, clubs, bars and restaurants. The streets were all filled, "Yet so weak and ignorant" he said to himself shaking his head with a grin.
The people he passed could sense the subtle aura around him and found his black eyes a little bit disconcerting; the whites of his eyes were also the same black color that made a clashing contrast with the hood of his knee length silver jacket. Those unfortunate to make eye contact whenever he raised his head to take a break from his thoughts got as far away from him as possible…
Not that he cared…
Well most of them anyway, the insufferable woman with the glasses had been following him for a while now and just wouldn't let him be, he knew he was good looking but it was getting a bit tiring constantly being ogled at and stalked by silly human girls.
He inclined his head a little to catch a glimpse of her again, she was indeed a fine one for a human, she wore a short brown skirt that complimented her long legs which were half concealed behind knee length brown boots and her white top was slightly opened to reveal cleavage which a human male would have found enticing, she wore dark brown glasses in the night which he found very odd.
She momentarily became obscured by a group of people passing in front of her as he crossed the street, searching the crowd for her his hood slipped a little to reveal slicked back raven black hair, she was still following him… "Very odd looking purse" he thought eyeing the long cylindrical bag behind her then turned around and pulled his hood down…
"Women and their fashion… classic",
Snapping out of this often frequented reverie for the umpteenth time he came to a halt and looked around "damn her now I'm lost" he said out loud irritably in a voice that was startlingly deep yet lacking any bass with a suppressed accent, the woman was starting to annoy him and realizing he was becoming tense he reached for the ring tied to his neck on a silver chain, tapping it thoughtfully against his chest looking right and left on the side walk for the way to where he was going while people passed and horns blared in the streets.
The woman stopped to stare at the silver ring almost sparkling white against the black vest he was wearing, he caught sight of her staring and gave her a look that one would give a persistent cat,smiled then kissed the ring and put it under his vest, its importance alleviating his irritation for the time being and besides he needed to be calm for his mission, even though it was a relatively simple one.
He took a turn off the street as he finally reached a suburban looking part of the city that's housed a collection of low storied duplexes and a few mansions' here and there. It seemed people were avoiding this part of town either because it was dark or majority of the inhabitants where already in for the night.
"Ah good" he smiled walking down a cobbled path toward a large building with the woman still in tow a couple of feet behind him,
"Now to get rid of this insufferable groupie"
Just as he was about to turn around the mansion he was facing made him stop and stare.
They were in front of an abandoned looking mansion with a huge clearing where the entrance should have been, almost like some unimaginable force blew away the wrought iron gate, tearing his gaze away from the gate he turned and looked at woman who had been following him.
"look, I'm sorry but I'm really not interested" he said looking at her but Lady just smirked and tugged off the odd looking purse from behind her and pointed it at him, this gesture struck him as very odd.
"Just what kind of stalker…"
But he was cut off abruptly as a rocket came hurtling at him from that odd bag of hers which turned out to be a rocket launcher, instinctively he raised his right hand and made a gun sign pointing it at the rocket.
It stopped just inches away from his finger.
Cocking his thumb and making a upward jerking movement with his hand as if shooting the rocket, it slowly turned and zoomed towards Lady but with her acrobatic bordering on feline agility she easily somersaulted away and the rocket hit the narrow walls of the path they followed blocking it…
"What's the meaning of this" he asked Lady calmly for someone who had just been shot at.
Dropping to the ground gracefully Lady pulled out her dual pistols from their side holsters and started walking slowly towards him…
"Don't like gunpowder demon?" Lady asked in a sweet mocking voice…"why don't I make it up to you"
This statement made him stop and stare at her as the tell tale of lighting was preceded by a grumble of thunder.
"Who are you calling a demon babe?" he asked his voice dripping with ill disguised contempt that clearly showed his irritation.
This made lady very angry, she hated being called babe.
Lady had enough of that word from one devil in particular and she would be damned if she was going to take it from this demon, she jumped in the air firing her guns at him but the bullets all stopped midair and dropped before hitting him,
He started towards her and jumped in the air only to jump again on thin air dashing towards her leaving a silver streak where he was before and caught her by the arm, lady gasped momentarily but kicked him in the stomach stunning him and she dropped to the ground immediately pulling out her submachine guns.
But he had vanished.
Without warning he appeared in front of her pinning her hands above her head,
And their eyes met.
Lady slackened against her will and stared at him with her mouth slightly open in a dazed expression…
"You would be such a babe if only you weren't trying to kick my butt" he said staring at her clearly for the first time and noticing her different eye colors but instead of being a blemish they somehow increased her allure.
Lady felt as if she her limbs were made of stone, she could not move and her thoughts came sluggishly, it was as if some hypnotic power existed within his eyes…
"Now that we are all cozy" he said smiling with the knowledge of the effect his eyes had on her
"Why was I being shot at?"
"You're a demon… I kill demons" lady replied in a faraway voice, at being mistaken for a demon yet again he rolled his eyes not that one would realize his eyes had rolled but this broke the spell on Lady who finally had enough strength to pull away from him and her vacant look was replaced by the hate filled stare she saved only for demons.
With a snarl she pushed him away and they were standing face to face.
It had started raining…
"For a demon who dresses so gangsta, you have no guns" she smirked observing his long baggy jeans and noticing the elongated broad sword strapped behind him,
"Compensating are we?" Lady smiled eyeing the sword and then without warning she dashed and jumped towards him aiming a roundhouse kick but with the same speed he showed before he mirrored her movement his short white boots meeting ladies knee length red ones and they struck quite a sight in midair both with a flying kick hitting each other's soles.
This demon was clearly far stronger than she thought.
The contact sent her crashing into a wall as he floatingly landed on his feet…
"Guns?" he scoffed,
"I wouldn't be much of a gentleman putting a bullet in your head now, would I?" he asked with increased irritation,
"Damn her" he thought,
He was straying from his mission and even though the distraction was cute one to say the least it was time to end this.
Moving towards lady he was surprised to see that she made no move to get up and continue fighting,
This made him stop for a minute and a knowing smile crept upon the sides of his mouth
"Giving up already? We were just getting to know each other" he said looking at her but lady smirked sitting sprawled by the destroyed wall,
"Yes it is such a shame you have to die" she said raising her leg almost seductively and pointing to something behind him with her boot smiling…
"You should watch your back you know…"
He whipped around and his hood came off,
His boots making a splash in the puddles formed by the rain making water splash on the silver symbol that was on the right leg of his black baggy jeans just in time to dodge a ferocious slash from a sword to face another… this time a man with platinum hair and a big sword like his…
"So Lady, Having fun alone are we?"
"But wait, is he something else?" He thought eyeing the newcomer.
His right hand was odd,
It was hidden beneath his sleeve and the hand was gloved, but the demonic power he could sense from it was something else on its own. His attention lingered on this new comers arm for a second…
Could this be Dante?
He immediately dismissed the notion as soon as it occurred,
This one looked too young to be the legendary demon hunter he heard so much about.
For a moment Lady and Nero both stood stared,
His hood completely came off as he turned and dodged the slash from the Red Queen, he was abnormally good looking and this was enhanced by his androgynous face, with brown skin that reminded one of Native Americans.
Nero's familiar smirk returned and he stuck the Red Queen on the ground revving it
"So, who's your date?" Nero asked lady with another perfectly timed Instant Rev of his sword making the entire blade glow bright red
"Careful Nero… I have never seen one like it" warned lady,
At this the stranger turned around with an indignant look.
"Just who are you calling it?" he asked,
Lady just smiled in an innocent school girl way slowly getting up and walking towards him with her machine guns in her hands,
But he had had enough…
"I would love to fight your boyfriend here" he said turning his back on Lady who saw the same symbol that was on the leg of his jeans now on the back of his silver jacket in green.
He gave Nero an appraising look as if sizing him up,
"But I don't have the time…" he said still looking a Nero, "perhaps next time bro" he smiled dashing towards him so fast Nero didn't even have time to raise his sword as he was knocked backwards clutching his stomach,
Only a faint streak of silver remained where what Lady and Nero could now safely assume to be a devil stood.
Lady rushed to Nero's side holding his side and knelt down beside him.
"Hang in there let's get you back" she said at the same time looking around warily for the devil until a flash of silver caught her attention and she saw a figure on top of the mansions roof.
He saw her looking smiled, clipped his sword back on his belt behind him and pulled down his hood covering his face once more, taking a run towards the edge of the roof he dashed upwards leaving a streak of silver then with an air trick he disappeared into the night.
Dante meanwhile was sitting in his office, Reading.
