Vergil stared up at the cloudy night sky. He had been searching all night for clues to his latest mission and had come up with nothing. Earlier that day Dante had told him that demons were seeking to open the portal between realms, but he wasn't sure how. Vergil's job was to find out how and stop them from doing so. Ten hours later he still had nothing to go on. It figured that Dante would give him a particularly difficult case to work on. Dante always took the easiest ones or the ones he deemed "fun". Slacker, Vergil thought as he started moving down the road again. Incompetent slob too...
Vergil's mental tirade was halted as he heard the sounds of distant fighting. He quickly moved toward the noise to investigate.
Vergil came upon a woman in the middle of a large group of demons. He kept himself in the shadows as he observed the scene in front of him. The woman was interesting. Her hair was long and the color of fire. He could only see her from behind, but she was clad in leather from shoulders to toe. He watched as she reached down and pulled two pistols out of holsters on her upper thighs. Guns to fight demons? She's as bad as Dante... Vergil though with disdain.
The woman shot round after round at the demons, slowly taking most of them out, until she was out of ammo. Then in one quick movement she replaced the pistols in their holsters and pulled out a handful of small daggers which she threw at the demons, successfully killing of the rest of them.
It's not over, Vergil thought. He could sense more demons lying in wait in the shadows.
The woman reached for the katanas sheathed at both her sides. "You want a piece of Misery and Malice?" She called out to the demons moving out of the shadows to surround her. "Come get some." She smiled wickedly as the demons charged her. Then with a cry of glee she ran blades swinging into the charging demons
.
Vergil watched from his place in the shadows, intrigued by the deadly dance happening before him. The woman's hair shone like fire as she spun and twirled away from attacks only to dance back and deliver deadly blows of her own. She leaped away from demons lunging for her and came back down with her blades to remove their heads. No matter how many she killed they seemed to keep coming.
She seems to be able to take care of herself, Vergil thought and turned to leave. He heard a strangled cry and turned around just in time to see the woman fall to the ground with a hand over her chest . Blood pooled around her on the ground as the demons began to move in closer, laughing.
Alexandra Lilitu wandered aimlessly through the dark city streets. It was late and she knew she shouldn't be out at night alone because of the things that were after her. The demons of Hell would just love to drag her back kicking and screaming to fulfill their damned insane prophecy. She smiled as she patted her katanas. I would love to see them try.
"Alexandra, we've been waiting for you." A dark voice rasped from the shadows.
She stopped and placed her hand at the back of her head, fingering ponytail. "I'm sure you have, you power hungry bastard."
"Come with us willingly. We'll leave you with enough of your blood so that you can heal once we've finished with you."
Alexandra shook her head. "You're a horrible liar." She pulled the sticks that had been holding her hair up out and flung them in the direction of the voice. She heard an agonized cry. Then different types of demons began slithering out of the shadows to surround her. "Looks like it's gonna be quite the party tonight." She reached down to the holsters on her thighs and grabbed the pistols. Then she began firing at the demons. Once she was out of ammo she replaced the guns in the holsters and pulled out a small handful of dagger that she threw at the remaining demons.
Alexandra sighed as she picked up on the demons still hiding in the shadows. "Don't these guys ever give up?" She muttered as she reached for her katanas in their sheaths at her sides. "You want a piece of Misery and Malice?" She called out as the demons moved out of the shadows to surround her."Come get some." She smiled wickedly as the demons charged her. They never learn... With a cry of glee she ran with her blades swinging into the mass of demons.
She spun away from attacks and came forward to pierce hearts and sever limbs. She leaped away from lunges to come back down and take heads. She made her way through the mob until she had them narrowed down to less than a handful. Then one time when she went to spin away from one attack she turned directly into the blade of another.
Alexandra let out a strangled cry as she looked down at the wound in her chest. She placed her hand over it in a vain attempt to stop the bleeding. She felt herself falling, but it seemed to be in slow motion. This is it... Alexandra thought as her eyes grew heavy and the demons surrounded her. Back to Hell with me.
There was a bright flash of blue and then there was a man dressed in a long blue coat was standing between her and the demons. She closed her eyes briefly and when she opened them again the demons where gone and the man was walking away. He stopped and clenched his hands into fists before turning and coming back towards her. He kneeled down in front of her and the last thing Alexandra saw before losing consciousness were cold blue eyes staring at her.
