I was reading my book on the ancient demon world and its legends when the ground began to shake. I heard the startled squeal of Rose in the kitchen as I ran to see what was going on. I looked out the window and almost fainted with shock. The tower "Temen-ni-gru" was towering above the sky scrappers in the city.

"Oh crap," I whispered as I stared out at the old, faded stone tower. This would not be good.

I ran back to the old, torn book I had bought at a shady store and quickly scrambled for the page on this tower. I felt Rose come in and stand behind me as I looked, and I muttered to her, "This is like the Revelation."

"Oh God help us," she said, with a faint voice. She knew all about the Revelation, her church did a whole series of sermons on it when she was younger.

I found the page and quickly scanned it, my eyes picking out the important parts.

"The tower of Temen-ni-gru serves as a portal for the demons and devils of Hell to escape into the Human world. For thousands of years, these demons of all powers escaped into our world and terrorized millions of human beings. An elite force was formed to help stop the demons, but they were soon overwhelmed… until a demon named Sparda stood up and defeated thousands of devils and demons. (The thought reason for this was a human named Eva that he loved.) With one final act, he sealed the tower, Temen-ni-gru, and stopped for good the comings of demons into the Human World. Since he was a demon himself though, he sealed his powers in the Lands of Hell too."

I quickly shut the book and ran to my room, yelling back at Rose, "I'm going out, I need to fix something. Don't worry if I don't come back tonight."

I heard her running around but I only concentrated on what I was doing. I changed into some black, form-fitting but flexible pants and a tighter purple t-shirt that matched the streaks in my long black hair. The said hair was then thrown up in a high bun so not to fall into my eyes or get in my way. Grapping my black leather trench coat I ran out to the front room.

"Erm, okay?" I said as I looked at the Rose that was standing in front of me.

She had her black leather shorts that reminded me of her spandex from the Volleyball days on. She wore a light blue tight top and had her red hair up in a ponytail. Slung over one shoulder was a black jacket and her twin guns were in holders across her back and on her legs. "What, think I'm gonna let you do all the work, Zen?" She asked, staring at me with a raised eyebrow.

Sighing I strapped my twin blades, to my forearms and thought about this. While Rose knew how to take care of herself, she also could be pretty vulnerable sometimes. "If you come, you have to turn back the moment I think it's too hard on you, okay?"

With a slight glare she agreed, knowing this was the only way that she'd get to come along.

-A Little While Later-

This is it, the entrance to Hell. I stared up at the tall tower and thought on what was the best way to get in. I looked to my side to see what Rose was doing and was startled to see that she was gone. When I franticly looked around, I saw she was walking ahead towards the door that led into the tower. She looked back at me as if to say, 'what are you waiting for?'

Inwardly I sighed, battling the fear I had. I didn't want my life to end in this Tower of Doom (as Rose accurately named it), but as I looked around me at the city I loved, I gave into courage. I wanted this beautiful place to be restored and live peacefully rather then me live and sacrifice others.

I advanced into the room, loosening up my twin blades as I saw Rose getting out her two guns and holding them ready. We walked cautiously around looking every which way for a sign of danger. Glass crunched under our feet as we walked up to the giant doors. Signs of a struggle could be seen, as well as some blood, and giant, broken chains lay connected to the wall.

Whispering, Rose asked with a nervous voice, "So…what do you think was here?"

"Cerberus…" I whispered back not knowing why we were whispering. "A giant, three headed dog that guards the Gate to Hell."

"Oh, lovely," she said, swallowing really hard.

They advanced on, into a room called the Camber of Echoes. With dismay, I looked around me seeing the height of this room. The room was a spiral, going ever upwards and many of the stairway parts were broken. A loud blast sounded, and soon, Rose and I were surrounded by demons.

'Now, this was my game', I thought taking out my two blades Adara and Mara, before smiling. "Let's get this party started!"

Ten minutes later, I gave a satisfied grin and wiped off some sweat decorating my brow. The scattered remains of demons lay around me as did some broken bits of stone. I wiped off the demon blood on my blades on my pants and sheathed them back onto my arms. Rose dramatically blew over the top of her guns acting like she was blowing away smoke.

"Impressive," a deep voice spoke behind us.

Whirling around, Rose had her guns up and ready to fire. She cocked them and held them steady on the stranger as she spoke. "Who're you?"

With a slight smirk, the white, spiky haired stranger began to circle her. "I believe the question is who are you," the stranger spoke before quickly trying to strike her.

With a clang, I stopped his blade right as he almost hit her, "Dude, what's your problem?" I exclaimed, still on the high of fighting.

"Why are you here?" he demanded.

"Why do you want to know?" I countered.

"Just stop fighting already. Sheesh, you guys take this too seriously," I heard Rose's voice pipe up.

I turned to her, mad, "Rose, he just tried to kill you and you're getting mad about us fighting?"

"Leave the pretty lady alone, why don't you?" he said with a smirk, "she seems to be the smart one here."

He strode up to her, bending in close. "Why are you two here? You'll get killed, you know."

I poked him on the shoulder, turning him around, "Why don't you just let us be, buster?"

"As you wish," he said, just disappearing.

I looked over at Rose and saw her blushing. "Let's go."

Authors' Note: So yes, this is just a teaser like thing right now. My lovely friend Vampy Sparda (go check her out!) asked me to write her a DMC story after I played DMC3, so I got to play it, and here is the story. Hope you enjoyed it.

Love,
Alca

P.S. Teaser for another part:

"Wow, we're high up!" Rose said looking over the edge of Temen-Ni-Gru.

Rayne walked up behind Rose to spook her, "What happens when you fall?"

Rose squealed and fell over, causing Rayne to jump forward to try and save her. As Rose's figures slipped through hers and Rose continued the long fall, fear shinning through her eyes, Rayne screamed. "No!"
