PROLOUGE

Silence.

Absolute Silence.

All that Nero could think of. His breathing inside his helmet and the sheer silence around him is the only thing around him, of course there is the countless stars around him. Too many too count and never bother doing so. He was at shock never hoping or dreaming of standing here right now, and looking at the almost 360 degree view of the blackness of space and stars. When he was young he wondered what its like to be in the heavens, now he was here feeling and seeing it; something he would not forget.

A hand grabbed his shoulder and he quickly spun as best he could readying the Red Queen slice whoever that touch him. To his surprise, it was Dante who was wearing the same suit as him.

"Kid! Come on wake up from your day dream and let's go!" he said before floating away from him and slashing incoming demons that try to get near him.

Standing wasn't right word to begin with. More like floating in the Vacuum of Space.

"Magnetise kid!" Dante spoke again then he went down to the outer hull of the Allied Space Station, he then unleashed the Pandora's Box. The suitcase became a powerful artillery platform, shooting and destroying any demons and Bianco Angelos that try to breach the Space station.

Nero activated his own magnet system to make him stick to the station's hull. From there he quickly moves as much as he can to prevent more Bianco Angelos from destroying the station's outer hulls. He felt light upon his swings and never really had control of them as if he was fighting underwater. The armoured knights simply avoided his swings then fly towards him intention of impaling him. He blocked the lances with his devil bringer arm then proceed to crush the wings of the knights then tossing them into the deepness of space.

Fast swords skills were useless in this kind of fight. the suit limited their free movement and the power of swings were uncontrollable. Sure non of them fought demons before in space this is a new environment for them.

Nero looked around the battle is waged around them. at least five Allied space shuttles were scattered three more were breaking apart. Two more rockets coming at them from Earth, one was already deploying more Bianco Angelos to suppress the Allied forces on the space station. The demon portal began to close as Vergil uses a powerful judgement cut to destroy the portal node in one of the floating rockets of the Order of the Sword. Allied troopers float around firing their blaster rifles on the remaining demons and the knights. Their blue laser cut through with ease. Dante was impressed on how technology jumped ever since the war began.

Right now wasn't to wonder on things like that. he kept shooting enemies 180 degrees from him when his radio crack up.

"Dante are you busy? More knights are swarming below the station! I need back up!" Trish's voice said in the radio covered with the lightning shots from her Luce and Ombra. Bullets are also useless in space, reduced in penetrating power, Trish and Dante amplified them with their powers, Nero however just grabbed a blaster from the allied armoury.

"Kid, gotta help Trish handle things from here" Dante said as he pack up the Pandora's box.

"Okay you got it!" he said then grabbing a knight with the devil bringer then shoot it with a blaster with other hand.

The outer perimeter of the station has several gun platforms that were keeping the Knights and demons from completely overrunning the station. Lady clips herself on one of the floating platforms shooting the knights with her homing rocket launcher the Kalina Ann. While Vergil was using his halo swords to hit any stray demons then air trick to get close on his enemies then slashing them quickly to pieces. His skills with the swords are so superior that as if he wasn't affected with the vacuum of space.

"I got to admit, your kinda holding on your own, literally" Vergil said with a slight amusement but his tone is still the same cold he was known for.

"hah! If I wasn't then I would be in Mars now." She quipped jokingly. Allied soldiers then arrived to back her up, firing lasers around "Finally about time you got here guys" she said to them.

"Sorry we took long ma'am" the sergeant said to her.

"It's okay, lets thin them off" she replied then shot a group of knights with a rocket blast.

Another squad of soldiers arrived to support Vergil but he stopped them. "I got this, just prevent anyone escape." He said coldly, earning a nod from the squad leader.

Just then, debris flew to their direction, the knights just destroyed a gun platform. Other platforms began firing powerful lasers at the knights decimating some of them but the others used their shields to deflect the incoming fire. The allied squad immediately flank them to the rear to get a shot, the three knights went in pieces as a barrage of blaster fire hit them in the rear.

While the battle was everywhere, Nero couldn't help but see this scene is one of the sci-fi movies he used to watch. Nonetheless he kept shooting and crushing things with his demon arm. Thankfully space didn't hinder its powers.

"Back up would be nice" he said despite he can handle things on his own.

ZAP!

A blue laser bolt went past him and hitting a knight square in the chest before it shatters into pieces. Surprised, he look at the direction where to shot came from. He saw a figure carrying a blaster rifle, its visor was tinted but Nero all too well who the figure is judging from the body frame alone.

"You're not alone." The figure spoke.

"Kyrie, it's not safe you here, get back inside the station!" he said worried almost crushing her suit in a hug.

Kyrie broke away, "you need back up right? Here I am"

"Come, I can take care of this myself I-..." she hush him

"Don't complain. Shoot" she raised the rifle again and fire several shots at another knight.

"Some date this is" he only replied.

"one to remember"

"Oh, let's do this more often. no enemies that tries to skewer us" he drew out his blaster and stood back to back with his girlfriend who raised her own weapon.

"Count on it." they both cover each other and shooting around them.

The battle was soon over and everyone gathered in the top of hull of the space station. The soldiers carried their dead and wounded back inside.

"All too easy" Vergil said smugly while keeping his cool posture

"Yeah right, i thought your getting old Verge, well I really admit you are better than me not even space could stop it" Dante shrugged

"Finally admitting how foolish you are in challenging me sword combat" his twin brother replied.

"Another rematch now! Here!" Dante challenged and Vergil simply let out a small chuckle.

"Boys will be Boys" Trish admitted.

"You can say that again" Lady added.

"So" Trish turned towards Nero and Kyrie. "How are you two?"

"Were okay" Kyrie replied, the barrel of her blaster rifle were still smoking. Nero just chuckled. Vergil just look at them and gave a small nod. Dante was about to speak when their radio crackled to life.

"We got another attack coming, we got 10 rockets coming into orbit" the station commander said to them. Allied soldiers went rushing from the station again and took up positions at the gun platforms.

Vergil just held the Yamato in an intimidating manner. "This will be fun"

"You bet bro, let's see who's gonna get the last kill" Dante challenge

"You're on."

Lady readies her rocket launcher and Trish charged up her pistols. Nero and Kyrie simply readied their weapons. by now the first rockets began to open its sides revealing a battalion of Bianco Angelos flying towards them. Blaster fire soon erupts and another battle begins in man's last frontier.

"SHOWTIME!" Dante said before he and Devil May Cry crew charged forward.
