I do not own Devil May Cry, it is owned by Capcom. All I own is the story I made up myself and my characters

Mission 1

Chapter 1

[][][][][][][]

A lone girl sat in the very center of a large cage. She was surrounded on all sides by silver bars, and black flaming rock. All she had in the cage was a crappy bed and a large chair with big cushions, on which she now sat.

She was a tall demon, purple skin starting from her hands and feet, fading up into the blue that covered the rest of her, within the blue, all over her body, were purple swirl markings. She had very long purple hair that was completely free, and fringe bangs that fell over her eyes, that were completely covered with tattered bandages. Tattered cloth also covered her ample chest and a skirt that was made of tattered cloth covered her lower bits and hung down to her feet. She was very human like in shape.

She sat silently, until a sudden clatter behind her caught her attention. She turned toward it, grinding her fanged teeth,

"Who's there?!"

"It is I Mistress…Ansel…" A voice said from the entrance to the cage.

She had never seen this demon, but recognized the name as one of her father's most trusted generals. He was a very skeletal creature, having tight skin that covered his bones. He had a skull like faces and sunken eyes. He wore a tattered red cloak on which a sword was attached to his back. He also wore gold gauntlets on his wrists.

"What do you want?" She growled.

He bowed, even though she couldn't see it, "I regret to inform you mistress…but the remainder of your family…has been slain…"

She jumped up, turning toward where he stood, "What?! Who did this?!"

He looked up, "It was Sparda's son…Dante." He stood up straight once again, removing a large silver and jewel encrusted key from around his neck, "Because your father is now dead mistress…you are free."

He unlocked the cage and the door swung open with extreme force, taking him by surprise and making him jump back,

"This is also yours to keep…once again…" He reached into his cloak, pulling out a large white/silver hand gun with black swirls etched into it. She walked toward him and he handed it to her, she immediately recognized the feel of it,

"Harvester…"

He nodded, "If you need anything Mistress…Please ask…"

She walked forward, spinning the gun around skillfully in her hand, then stopped,

"I want an army…we're going after this…Dante."

He nodded, "Right away….Mistress Mana…" He faded away.

Mana smiled, "I look forward to meeting you…"

Dante sat at his desk at Devil May Cry. His feet were up on the desk, he was leaning back in his chair, a magazine over his face. He wore a black t-shirt and black leather pants with black boots, his trademark red coat hanging on the wall behind him. There had been a recent, extreme, heat wave in the city. It was an odd wave, as it made him feel weak and tired all the time, so he took frequent naps when he didn't have work.

Suddenly the shop door swung open, causing the bell Dante had installed above the door ring, waking him up. He bolted straight up, the magazine falling onto the floor. He looked up to find Lady standing on the other side of the desk. She looked pretty much like usual, except that she didn't have her trademark rocket launcher, which she never seemed to put down. He found this a little strange, but didn't ask questions.

She raised an eyebrow,

"Bored?"

He rubbed his eyes a little, "I guess you could say that…What are you doing here anyway? You haven't been here in…forever."

She crossed her arms, walking around the room, inspecting all of his artifacts, and stopping to inspect Ebony and Ivory which hung on the wall,

"I've recently been called out for a ton of jobs…apparently Demons have been running rampant in all of the nearby cities."

Dante Leaned back in his chair, "And?"

"Well, there are just so damn many that I can't keep up with 'em all." She turned back to him, "I thought maybe you could use the work…I'd give you part of my fee."

Dante sighed, the weather had really made him feel lazy, but he knew he couldn't turn down the money. He put his hands on the desk and pushed himself up onto his feet,

"Alright, I'll take you up on your offer."

Lady turned and smiled, "Great."

Dante grabbed his coat and put it on, rolling up the sleeves. He grabbed his guns and sword and turned to Lady,

"Shall we?"
