Yep, it's here at last, the fifth installment of the Sons of Sparda series. I know it's been a long time since the fourth and prequel, but rest assured, it's here right now. And I promise a lot of fights and battles in this story, simply because nearly all past foes that have been defeated over the years return from the dead. Sounds like fun

The music was loud and pounding. And that's the way the dancers loved it. The club was packed tonight, lasers and lights flashing all over the place. People were enjoying themselves, dancing together in a tight pack. While mostly everyone was dancing, there were two people who had most of the attention on the dance floor. Both were girls, in their early twenties and both with shoulder-length white hair. One girl was wearing a black midriff leather top, black wristbands and red leather pants, her hair hanging over her face, while her cousin was wearing a black singlet, a blue sleeveless midriff jacket, fingerless gloves and black leather pants, her hair brushed back into small spikes. They were dancing nearby each other, enjoying the attention they were receiving, as they had at least six guys hanging around them each. The song ended and they headed over to the bar to get a drink each

"Enjoying yourself?" Jenny asked

"Sure am," Lili answered, "How can I not?"

"Oh, check it out. Bikies"

Lili raised an eyebrow, as about ten leather-clad bikers walked in, heading towards the bar and ordering drinks. Jenny frowned suddenly, but shrugged and headed back out onto the dance floor, as Lili followed after her

"What's up?"

"Nothing"

One of the bikers noticed the pair and headed over with a smile on his face

"How's it going, ladies?"

"Was going good until you spoke," Jenny answered

The biker frowned at her, as she smiled sweetly at him

"Oh come on, no need to be like that"

Two more bikers joined him, one of them leering at Lili, but she just scoffed at him and threw him a death glare, one clearly inherited from her father

"Oh, it's only for fun," Jenny smiled

"Yeah, that's the way," the biker grinned

He then made the awful mistake of patting Jenny on the butt. She glared at him, still dancing, before slamming her fist into his face. The biker growled, his eyes turning completely black. Lili raised an eyebrow when she saw this. The other dancers started to back away in case things got ugly, which they were starting to be as the rest of the bikers walked over to Jenny

"Take a seat, Lili," she said, still dancing, "This might take a while"

"Have fun"

Lili sat down at the bar, as the bikers surrounded Jenny, their eyes completely black, while Jenny continued dancing as if none of the threatening stances fazed her. But since she was the daughter of the legendary demon hunter, Dante, not much did. The biker demon that Jenny had hit cracked his knuckles, then his neck as he grinned

"Time to have a bit of fun, boys"

He punched at her, but she deflected his fist, before punching him in the face and elbowing another biker in the face. Two demons attacked at the same time, but Jenny dodged them, taking them out with punches, before kicking a demon coming from behind in the chest. He fell onto his back, as Jenny grabbed a demon and tossed him through the air, smashing through a table, before doing a roundhouse kick on another demon, spinning him through air and falling onto his face

"He's gonna feel that in the morning," Lili said

A demon swung his fist, but Jenny blocked, delivering two swift punches to his stomach, before uppercutting him through the air. The demon landed on the edge of the bar, as Jenny threw another demon over the bar and into the shelves of alcohol, shattering them completely and spraying the liquid everywhere. A demon punched her in the face, before grabbing her by the shoulders and throwing her through the air towards the second floor. Jenny teleported behind the demon, as Gilgamesh appeared on her body and she slammed her fist into the demon's back, the thruster popping out of the gauntlet and blasting the demon through the air

"That's gotta sting"

Another demon grabbed a chair and swung it towards Jenny, but she blocked the blow, the chair shattering over her armour, as the gauntlet glowed a bright red. Jenny punched the demon, the energy reducing him to dust, as she faced the demons slowly getting up. They all charged her at once, but with skill and ease, Jenny took them all out and was soon surrounded by dust, as Lili applauded. The music was still playing, but the club was almost empty, as the occupants had left when the fight started. The applauding continued, but it wasn't Lili. Gilgamesh faded away, as Jenny turned towards the sound of the clapping

"Impressive show, Jen. You've got the moves"

She smiled

"Nice to see you again, Tristan"

Her older twin brother smiled at her. While he was away in Tibet, he had shaved his stubble and cut his hair short. Now it was mostly flat at the back, while sticking up in spikes at the front. He was wearing his black trench coat over a black shirt, jeans and boots, as he spread his arms

"So…no hug?"

"Yeah, right"

"Okay, fair enough. I get the hint"

Tristan sat down at a table that hadn't been destroyed and grabbed the half-full cup of alcohol, before downing it in one gulp. Jenny gave him a look, as Lili did the same

"So, you're back. Does that mean you're good now?"

Tristan didn't answer straight away, as he stared at the cup, before letting out a sigh

"Yeah, pretty much. I mean, three years in Tibet have gotta do something for you"

"And that means that Dad is back, right?"

"Yeah, he's back. We're finished in Tibet. It's all good now. I mean, I'm good now"

He put the cup down and got up from the table

"So, shall we head home now that you've finished destroying the place?"

"I did not!" Jenny protested

"Yeah, right," Tristan smirked

Lili rolled her eyes as she followed her twin cousins out of the club

The front door of Devil May Cry opened with a jingle, as Dante stepped inside, placing his bags near the door and looking around. Not much had seemingly changed in the shop over the last three years. He took a few steps inside, when someone walked into the room

"Hey babe, I'm back," Dante grinned

Trish broke into a smile as she moved towards him, before wrapping him into a hug. Dante smiled as he hugged her back, before giving her a passionate kiss

"Mmm, been missing those," Trish smiled

"Then I guess we have a lot to make up for"

"Daddy!"

Dante and Trish broke apart, as their two youngest children came running into the room, wrapping their arms around Dante's legs, as he smiled

"Hey there, how's it going?"

"We missed you," Ash said, "Are you here to stay forever now"

"Always, kiddo. I'll always be here"

Ash stepped back, as Dante picked Caitlyn up

"And how are you, bub?"

"I've been good," she answered

"So, seeing as you're back, I'm guessing Tristan is back," Trish asked

"Yeah. He saw Jenny and Lili last night. He'll be arriving right about now"

The front door opened, as Tristan came into the shop, putting his bag down beside his father's, before looking up at his mother

"Hi, how's it going?" he asked nervously

Trish didn't answer as she pulled him into a hug, pressing a small kiss to his cheek. Tristan was momentarily stunned, before hugging his mother back. A few minutes later, they broke apart

"You look good," Trish said

"Thanks, so do you"

"Who's that?" Ash asked

"That's your older brother, Tristan," Dante said, "Say hi"

Tristan knelt down before his younger brother, a smile on his face

"Hi there. I'm Ash," the little boy said

"I'm Tristan. Do you want to show me around the place?"

"Yeah, okay, come on"

Ash took Tristan by the hand and led him around the shop, showing him the numerous trophies and weapons, before taking him upstairs, as Dante turned to his wife

"Everything is back to normal, the way it should be"

Caitlyn wrapped her arms around Dante's neck, as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head, before giving Trish another kiss, wrapping his arm around her waist and taking her upstairs, where Jenny was standing in the hallway, arms crossed and an irritated look on her face

"What's up, pumpkin?" Dante asked

Jenny looked over at him, the irritation fading as she ran over and hugged him

"Good to see you're back"

"Thanks. So why are you looking so unhappy"

"Because Tristan and Ash just barged into my room while I was still asleep. Ash is showing Tristan the whole shop and I mean the whole shop"

Dante laughed and pulled his daughter into a hug
