Chapter One: Memories
Two millennia ago there was a war between the human world and another; the Underworld.
But someone from the Underworld woke up to justice and stood up against this legion, alone. His name was Sparda.
Later, he quietly reigned the human world and continued to preserve harmony until his death.
He became a legend,
The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda.[1]
You saw the demons, all of them marching through the forest for the same reason: To kill the sons of Sparda.
'It's my fault! It's all my fault!' You repeated over and over in your head. You were laying on a hill, as you had been twenty minutes earlier when all was calm and peaceful. You carefully crawled backwards trying not to attract attention to yourself. Once you were safely out of sight you ran as fast as you ten year old legs would allow. You had to warn them, and Eva.
After five minutes of running a big house came into view.
'I have to hurry. I have to hurry!' You ran up the stairs and glanced over your should in the direction they'd be coming from. You didn't have much time, and could already hear them.
You dashed into the house and saw Vergil and Dante talking to each other in the living room.
"Dante! Vergil!" You yelled effectively getting their attention.
"Kirie where were you-"
"Not now Dante, we need to get out of here! T-They're coming and there's so many of them!" You yelled running through the house trying to find Eva.
"Who? Who's coming?" Vergil asked confused. He grabbed you as you went to run past him again. "What are you talking about?"
"There are demons! We need to find your mom, we need to leave!" You said quickly as your eyes started to water.
Vergil and Dante had a mixture of shock and worry as they followed you back downstairs.
Eva was staring from the front door. You had never seen her this scared before, it gave you a sickening feeling.
"Mom what's going on?" Dante asked running up to her.
The sound of glass shattering filled your ears.
Eva pushed Dante into a small closet and closed the door.
"Vergil, take Kirie and go upstairs! Now, hurry!" Eva said in a low, rushed tone. "No matter what, none of you make a sound.
A loud groan was heard and the sound of demons was getting closer.
"Mom, what about you?" Vergil asked gripping your hand tightly.
Eva gave him a small smile that didn't reach her watering eyes. "I'll be fine Vergil, just go. Please."
You looked at him; it was the first time you'd ever seen Vergil cry.
"Come on!" Vergil said pulling you with him as he ran upstairs.
He ran into his room and opened the closet door. The sound of Eva's scream was heard not long after.
Vergil looked back over his shoulder before shoving you inside. "Stay here."
"W-w-what?" You squeaked.
"I'll be back, I promise!" Vergil said closing and locking the door.
:"Vergil, no! Don't leave!" You yelled pounding on the door. "VERGIL!"
More sounds of breaking glass and splitting wood was heard, followed by other disturbing sounds. You backed up and slid down the wall hugging your knees.
Moments later, the sound of overthrown furniture had become much louder, meaning that there were demons in the room you were in now. A particularly large object, which you assumed to be the bed, was thrown across the room and into the closet door causing it to splinter and break in some parts. You pushed yourself into the darkest corner and covered your ears when the demon let out an enraged roar.
You squeezed your eyes shut and silently prayed you'd live through this.
After nearly a half hour all the sounds stopped and the house was eerily silent. Even though you were sure that the demons were gone you couldn't bring your shaking form to move an inch from your spot in the closet.
"Vergil?"
"Kirie?"
You opened you eyes and slowly took your hands off of your ears. Using the wall for support, you rose to your feet. The sound of furniture being dragged back made you heart once again beat in terror, but to your relief the door was opened by a ten year old Dante.
"Kirie!" He pulled you into a tight hug. "I thought you were…"
You didn't move. "Where's Vergil?" You asked softly.
Dante pulled away. "He's not with you!"
Dante took your hand and pulled you out of the room. "We have to find him! H-he has to be alive! I'm sure he's here some where!"
You searched for what felt like hours, but there was no sign of him anywhere.
Dante fell to his knees in what had been Eva's bedroom. "He's gone."
You kneeled down next to him and pulled him into a hug. "M-maybe he got out." You said trying to be hopeful. "Y-yeah. Vergil is super smart so I'm sure he must've found a way out! He has to be okay…"
Dante leaned his head against your shoulder. "They killed her."
"What?" You asked so low he almost missed it.
"They killed my mom. I couldn't save her."
You started shaking. 'No. E-eva can't be dead! She's the closest thing I've ever had to a mother! She can't be…'
"Kirie."
'No, not her…'
"Kirie!"
"NO!" You sat up and something in the shape of a person was sent flying across the room.
You blinked a few times and quickly wiped your eyes. Everything was fine. You were in the spare room, now referred to as your bedroom, in Devil May Cry.
The "person shaped object" muttered a string a curses as he pulled himself off the floor and gave you a look of mild annoyance and concern.
"Nightmare again?" Dante asked in a calm voice.
"Um…" You trailed off.
He sighed and walked back over to your bed, plopping down next to you. You stared at the sheets instead of him still not over the emotions that dream gave you. Dante cupped your face and turned it so you were facing him.
"Are you going to tell me what it is this time?"
"Umm…." You trailed off once again. You weren't sure how the dream would affect him and definitely didn't want him to have to listen to those events in detail; after all, living through that once was quite enough.
Dante let out another, somewhat frustrated sigh. "It's the fourth time this week I've been sent flying back into that wall, eventually I'm going to go through it. Can I at least know why I'm going to half to replace the wall?"
You gave him a half smile. "Umm…You'd replace the wall because it's apart of my bedroom and you love me?"
Dante tilted his head and gave you a curious look before one of his trade mark smirks slid onto his face. "Seriously?" He chuckled.
Your face heated up a little. "It's the first excuse that came to mind."
"Uh-huh. And are you planning on paying me back if I replace the wall?"
"Dante, you know I don't actually have money right now."
"That's alright babe, there are other ways to…compensate." He flashed you a sexy smirk and before you knew it you were pinned underneath him.
Your face must have cycled through sixty shades of red in under two seconds. "D-Dante!"
He leaned his forehead against yours. "Yes?" He purred.
Your mind went completely blank and you were at a loss for words.
His smirked widened and pressed his smooth lips to yours.
Your eyes drifted closed as you savored this moment. His hands slid down your sides, and your own through his hair.
It had been almost a year since you had come back from Temi-Ni-Gru and were now living and "working" at Devil May Cry. It really was the greatest job in the world…if you could get over waking up to: a broken jukebox blasting rock, demons that come for slumber parties and try to chop you up in your sleep, "crazy" ladies with rocket launchers that are apparently very good at games of luck; and your personal favorite, smexy silver haired devil slayers.
Suddenly there was a loud crash that caught both of your attention. Dante let out an irritated sigh and muttered about demons having the worst timing in history. He reluctantly slid off of you and took Ebony of the nightstand.
"Be right back." He said giving you another another sexy smirk before exiting the room.
You laid there for a second as your mind slowly drifted from Dante to the nightmare you'd had. 'There has to be a reason for this right? I can't just suddenly start dreaming about what happened nearly twenty years ago…' You thought back to Eva's smiling face and felt a pang of guilt. "I should've been faster." You muttered to yourself as you sat up.
You didn't feel like being depressed so you decided to see why Dante was taking so long. Surprisingly, you hadn't heard any gun shots yet. You went cautiously went downstairs hoping no demons would suddenly decide to come flying at you; and to your relief nothing did.
"Sorry we closed and nine." Dante said hanging up the phone on his desk.
"Did you find the demon?" You asked from the stairs.
He opened his mouth to reply but a loud roaring, similar to a motorcycle cut him off. A second later a woman with long blonde hair and sun glasses burst through the door, and sent it flying off its hinges, and proceeded to park in front of the pool table.
'Great, something else to fix." You thought sarcastically. 'Wait, who the hell drives into a building on a motorcycle in the first place?'
You voiced your last thought but all it got you was a brief glance (or maybe a glare) from the woman.
"Woah slow down babe, nature calls, it's in the back."
'Well, at least one of us finds this amusing.' You thought shaking your head. You still didn't quite understand how Dante could act like the most bizarre things in the world were normal. Then again, after that man, Arkham turned into a perverted clown and then a blob of God-knows-what, things didn't seem all that strange.
The woman looked at all the mounted demon skulls as she approached Dante's desk. "So, you must be the handy man who'll take any dirty job. Am I correct?"
"Almost." Dante replied as he walked over to the part of the wall that held Rebellion. He picked it up and continued. "I only take special jobs, if ya'know what I mean."
"You're the man who lost a mother and a brother to evil twenty years ago. The son of the legendary dark knight Sparda, mister Dante.
Dante's grip on his sword tightened. "Well the way I figure it, in this job a lot of demons come around, so if I kill everyone, I'm bound to hit the jackpot sooner or later." He pointed Rebellion at her throat.
"In that case, you should be use to this sort of thing." The woman replied coolly and she held up her right arm. Bright yellow electricity shot out of it and hit Dante's sword electrocuting him.
"Dante!" You pulled your own gun off of the edge of his desk and aimed it at her but she was faster. She sent a bust of electricity at you and it hit your leg. Stinging pain shot through your body in seconds causing you to fall and drop the gun.
She kicked Dante back with enough force to send him crashing into his desk, effectively snapping it in half. She picked up his sword which had just been knocked out of his hands, and threw it so it stabbed into his chest and continued to electrocute him.
She laughed evilly. "Are you really the son of the legendary dark knight Sparda? Did your daddy teach you how to use the sword?" She taunted.
She stopped and ran to her motorcycle. She lifted it with little to no effort and threw it at Dante.
You used your own power to stop it in midair, but couldn't do much else since the pain hadn't subsided yet.
"Sword? Ha, time to go to work guys." Dante said as pulled out his guns and started shooting the motorcycle away from him. The motorcycle caught fire and you sent it flying back at her.
"No!" She turned and jumped to the ground barely avoiding the flaming motorcycle which landed right in front of her.
Dante stood up and walked toward her with Rebellion still impaled deep inside of him. "Even as a child I had powers due to the demonic blood in me."
The woman stared up at him as she pushed herself back across the floor. "That strength…"
Dante pulled Rebellion out and stabbed it into the floor before pointing his gun at the strange demonic woman. "You were the first one to know about my revenge, I must be getting closer."
The woman stopped and stood up. "It seems that way, but I'm not your enemy."
You would've rolled your eyes and made a smart remark but you were curious as to how the hell she'd justify everything that happened in the last minute.
"My name is Trish." She continued. "I came here to seek your help." She walked back to the door way and stared up at the night sky. "…To put an end to the Underworld."
"What?" You and Dante asked simultaneously.
The woman took off her sun glasses and turned to face him.
He gasped and your jaw dropped. You felt your stomach tightened followed by a rush of mixed feelings; you had a feeling Dante felt the same.
'It can't be.' You thought staring at her. 'I saw her body, I was there when she died, so how?'
There was no denying it, especially thanks to your nightmares that constantly left a fresh image of what she looked like before and after her death. Whoever this woman was looked like an almost exact replica of Eva!
[A/N] Me: Er….I was supposed to post this Friday, but I ended up having to put in extra hours with a club I'm working on school.
