DEVIL MAY CRY
CHAPTER ONE: CAN'T I HAVE A NORMAL BUSINESS DAY?
Ring!
Ring!
Dante came out of the back room and sat himself right into his chair before putting his feet up on the desk. He grabbed a pool stick and hooked the phone onto the end of it. He brought it to his ear. "Devil May Cry, how may I help you?" He listened for a minute. "No I don't want to take part in your fucken' survey." He threw the phone back onto the desk and took a pizza out of the delivery box. He looked around as he did so slowly. He brought it to his mouth and kicked Ebony off the table and into his hand. He pointed it all around his shop. "Good, no one here to kill me. Now I can enjoy my pizza."
Things seemed peaceful these days after Virgil got trapped in the demon world. Though he still suffered from constant demon attacks here and there, it seemed boring. "Looks like this'll be a normal business day after all." he said. Then the front door opened up slowly. "And this is where it all ends." He jumped off the table, onto the wall behind him, and over the table before pointing his gun at the door. A short haired, blonde woman walked in wearing a black suit with boots and sun glasses. Dante relaxed and put his gun down. "Dang, I'm too jumpy."
"Are you Dante?" she asked.
"Are ye here to kill him?" he asked.
"That's not my objective." she said. "Answer my question."
"I'm busy, are you a customer or not?" he asked walking over to the pole table and aligning the balls in the triangle formation on the table. Then he walked over and took the stick next to his desk. He set the white ball down and took aim. "And if you want Dante to leave for some business deal, there better be some good money involved." He hit the ball. A gun shot was heard and the ball flew off the table and into the wall creating a hole. He looked at the woman who was holding at gun. "Why did you do that?"
"Don't ignore me." she said. "I have an invitation for you, Dante."
"To a ball room dance with the Queen of England?" he put the stick down. "Thanks, but no thanks; it's not my style." He walked back over to his desk and grabbed his pizza.
The woman walked over to him. "I have been ordered to take you with me; conscious or not."
Dante swallowed what was in his mouth. "Is that a threat?" He looked for Ebony. It was still on the pole table to his right and about three feet away. And the woman was two feet away from him. "Can we do this outside? Because I just fixed this place up after the last mess in here and I don't want some chick fucking it up."
"My men are outside and waiting for me to take you." she said.
"Oh, okay." He smiled and made a back spin kick. The woman made a back flip and avoided it. Dante ran over to the table and slammed down on it which made Ebony jump up from it and into his hand. He fired at her. The woman quickly drew her gun and fired at him. Both bullets collided. "Now that's what I'm talking about." He started firing at her as he walked back to his desk and grabbed Ivory. The woman dodged every shot he made. He grabbed Rebellion and ran after her. She stopped jumping away from the bullets and fired at Dante as he charged. Dante avoided all the shots and swung at her vertically upwards from his right to his left. He looked around. "Huh? Where did that girl go?" Then a thought hit him. "Oh, you are good." He looked to his left where he was still holding his sword up. She was standing on the blade.
"We where trained to be able to match your abilities, Dante." she said loading a clip into her gun. "You're coming with me."
"Heh, no I'm not." He dropped his sword and made a back spin kick at her. She brought her arms up in front to cushion herself from the powerful blow and flew into the wall. Dante kicked Rebellion back into his hand and pointed it at her. "I'm not in the mood to fight girl scouts, get out before I go out there and deal with your buddies outside my shop." The woman brought her foot up and kicked Rebellion upwards on the edge of the blade. Then she put her hands on the wall then brought her feet up in front of her and pushed herself off the ground and kicked Dante in the chest. He stumbled back a few feet and regained balance. He looked at his blade and her foot. "Right, steel toes boots."
"Are you refusing the invitation?" she asked.
"Yeah, pretty much." Then he grabbed a pole stick. "And I'm having fun doing it!" He grabbed it in reverse hand and threw it like a spear at her. She quickly drew her gun again and shot a bullet at the end of it making it explode. After shooting it, she was unprepared for the shot Dante fired at her at her face.
"Aaaah!" she grabbed her face and her glasses fell off in two pieces. "Dammit!"
Dante kicked her in the side and she fell onto the ground. "Is that all you got?" She brought her foot up and kicked him in the balls. "…ouch." He fell over. She put her hands on the ground and brought her feet up over her. Then she pushed off the ground and back onto her feet just for Dante to trip her and she fell over on top of him. Dante got a good look at her face now that her glasses where gone. She had green Asian eyes and blood was running down her face. "Daddy likes." She got off him and he pushed himself to his feet the same way she did. He got Ivory out and she kicked it out of his hand. Then she made a round house kick with her other foot to his face. He stumbled back and punched her in the face and she flew onto the pole table and knocked most of the balls off. "Come on."
The woman got up and grabbed a pole stick and spun it around over her head. Then she jumped over the table and slammed it down on his head. She spun it around and tripped him with the stick. He fell over onto his hands and pulled his legs up over him, and then he pushed himself back onto his feet with his hands. Then she brought the stick back over her head and brought it down at Dante. He blocked it with both of his arms and pulled them to the sides so that his hands could grab the stick and snap it in half before he kicked her back into the wall behind his desk. "Damn, devil…"
"C'mon, come to daddy." he teased to her. She smiled and kicked the desk at him and his pizza flew off it. Dante jumped over it and made a forward flip before catching his pizza. "Whoa, hey, I'm not done with this."
She jumped into the air and locked his face between her ankles, then she spun herself twisting Dante off his feet and face down in the ground. His pizza slid into the back corner as she slammed her foot onto the back of his head crushing it into the floor. She smiled and giggled a bit. "Who's your daddy?"
Dante pulled his head out and got to his feet, but the woman kicked him in the face and he flew back into a wall. "Holy shit." He said getting his balance back. "You're not human, aren't you?" She pulled a collapsible baton out of her sleeve and swung it at his head. He grabbed it. "You know why they call them collapsible batons?" he gripped hard on it and bent it at a ninety degree angle before snapping it in half. "Because they're easy to break." Dante grabbed her arm, fell backwards, rolled on the ground, and kick her in the gut and out the door. Dante put his sword on his shoulder and his guns in the holsters behind him after retrieving them. "I don't care how many men you have out there, bring em' on!" He walked out the door and found several little red dots on his body and three on his head. He looked around at how many people where around him. Around 35 of them. "Hmm, is it still too late to accept the invite?"
The woman walked to the bottom of the steps of his shop's entrance. "You're coming with us, Son of Sparda."
