Chapter 2 Found

Everything changed when the demons found the family. One day during their training Dante and Vergil decided to push themselves. Their swordplay had become so proficient that to the normal human eye their swords had vanished with occasional sparks flying as they clashed. Neither Dante nor Virgil wanted to back down. They continued to push each other. Suddenly an aura started to emanate from the twins. As they moved faster and faster parrying and attacking the auras kept building up until finally their swords shattered on contact, there was a huge energy discharge as if a bomb had gone off and the boys were thrown back nearly crashing through the walls of their dojo. Their impact on the walls caused the walls to cave into a small crater in the shape of the boys backs. Dante and Vergil were unconscious for a couple of seconds before waking up and seeing each other on opposite sides of the room and then turning around to see the dents they put on the walls.

"What the hell was that!" Dante yelled with a smile on his face?

"I have no idea!" Replied Vergil with his eyes widened. "Ow, I can barely stand?"

"Yeah I'm drained too, wanna do it again!" Said Dante with wild excitement.
"Yes!" Vergil responded

"NO" Their master yelled as he ran into the room. " You boys must never released that much energy at once! When your power is released it acts like a beacon attracting things that you DO NOT want to see!

Meanwhile on the other side of the continent. Malakai, a demon who looks fully human, stands 6 feet tall, very muscular, with thick black hair and a thick beard, addresses his master. "Master, it has occurred just as you predicted." Said Malakai. " I have sent a horde and I will quickly follow. Do you still think it is wise to let them live?"
"You have your orders Malakai. Kill the mother and bring me the sons of Sparda. I do not care what it costs."

The boys had been hidden all of their lives, but the sons of Sparda where a valued commodity for the demon world. Some demons wanted them for revenge against their father, others knew that they would be a force to be reckoned with and wanted to take them out and few Demons felt that they could control them and use their powers.

Spencer knew that it was only a matter of time before demons came knocking at the dojo doors. He grabbed a variety of weapons and escorted the boys home, but it was too late.

Malakai watched from the rooftop of a nearby building. One look at Spencer and he knew it was a hunter he was dealing with. He decided not to engage them, but follow and find out where they were headed.

As the boys ran for home with their master they felt a sudden chill upon them. "Master, what is that?" asked Dante.

"Whats, What?" he replied

"I feel it too," said Vergil. "It suddenly feels colder and its getting stronger."

"Alright boys listen to me. No matter what happens you two keep moving until you make it home." exclaimed their master, knowing what was coming.

As the three ran home a horde of demons appeared all around them. It was almost as if the city knew of this coming threat because the streets were clear of all but the master, the students and the demons. The demons all looked completely different from each other. Some looked like demon puppets without faces stitched together with different color fabrics and blades for arms or legs. Others looked like granite gargoyles flying at them. There were also hooded figures hovering towards them.

The master armed Dante with a broadsword and Vergil with a katana. " Alright boys, time to go to work, THIS is what we've been training for. As soon as we make an opening you two keep running for home and make sure your mother is alright."

Spencer had all the confidence in the world that his pupils could easily overcome this horde of demons. He used a staff made of pure iron. It was heavier than the usual staff but the iron was what could hurt the demons. On his hip he had BIG IRON, a massive magnum loaded with homemade bullets made of rocksalt, iron and silver. The three of them were more than a match for these demons. But the purpose of this attack was not to overrun them, it was to separate them. As soon as the boys found their opening they broke through and ran towards home. The Horde continued to grow and so Spencer stayed behind to fight them. Still Malakai watched from a safe distance.

When the boys made it home their mother opened the door, dragged them inside and slammed the door behind them. They lived in an old large house. The kind of sturdy house made from brick and cement with wooden floors that would make all kinds of noises. Dante and Virgil looked around the house and noticed that there was salt poured on the threshold of all the windowsills and the doors. Their mother didn't even give them time to ask why the house seemed so fortified or the reason for the salt.

Their mother just pulled them in and said,"alright boys listen to me,we don't have much time and those seals on the windows and doors won't hold very long. You need to know that I love you boys more than anything in this world. And everything that I do from now on is to protect you just like your father did when he sacrificed himself."

Dante and Virgil's eyes widened as she told them this. She rarely spoke about their father and they figured it was because he caused her pain. But now they were starting to realize that the pain came from missing him. Suddenly their whole world changed as she told them the story of how their father sealed the pathway between the demon realm and the human world.

"The last time I saw your father he told me to give this to his sons." She explained. She brought out a box made of wood with iron lining. The box contained two medallions made of silver and in the center of each was a gem. One was red and one was blue. Then she told them, "Put these on boys, they contain what's left of your father's soul. Follow them and they will lead you to his legacy."

Suddenly the house started shaking uncontrollably. The demons had made it to their doorstep. Their mother's barriers wouldn't hold for long. And from the outside they could hear the demons taunting them. "You're going to die, we're going to kill you, no one will be left alive." The demons continue to repeat this threat.

After hearing them taunt and threatened them repeatedly, Dante, being the inpatient and reckless one, told Virgil to keep their mother safe and ran outside with his sword. Dante looked around to see which demon was taunting him, but he found that the voices were coming from all around him and from all the demons as if they were at a cocktail party where hushed conversations could be heard. "Let's start this party, assclowns,"Dante declared furious. He smiled and went to town vanquishing Demons.

Virgil stayed in the house and vanquished any demons,
if any, that made it past Dante. Their mother armed with a pair of desert eagles also vanquished demons.

As Dante started clearing the way on the front yard. He could make out Spencer in the distance coming towards him. Suddenly Malakai appeared in front of Spencer. Spencer immediately tried to blast him but Malakai moved out of the path of the bullet. At this point Spencer was spent from fighting all the demons so it was not difficult for Malakai to be on him in a second. Malakai grabbed Spencer by the throat and lifted him into the air. Just as Malakai was about to crush Spencers throat Dante screamed. "Noooooooo!"

Malakai turned and frowned. He did not realize that Dante had seen him. He threw Spencer into a wall 20 feet away and vanished. Dante immediately ran to his master to find out if he was alright. Spencer was alive but severely injured. Dante picked him up started carrying him towards the house.

As Dante carried his master to the house horde of demons started swarming around them. From inside the house his mother could see the demons swarming around Dante and Spencer. She looked at Virgil, called his name and said, "go and help your brother I can handle these demons." Virgil reluctantly left her side and went to help his brother.

That was all the opening that Malakai needed. He immediately appeared behind their mother. She could feel his presence and immediately turned with the desert eagle on point. As she fired the gun aimed at his head he quickly moved his head out of the way and in the same motion he perforated her chest and severed her heart with the razor sharp claws of his hand. As he stood in front of her with his claws penetrating chest he leaned in and told her, "Don't worry, your boys will be taken care of." With a tear in her eye and a look of pure hatred and disdain she he screamed only one word, "Noooooooooo!"

Outside the boys could hear their mother's scream. By this time Spencer had already regained consciousness and told the boys to go and help their mother with his gun in hand. Dante and Virgil cut a path through the demons back into their home, but by the time they got back to their mother it was already too late. She was alone on the floor bleeding and the boys could do nothing to save her. With tears in her eyes she told her twins, "I love you boys more than anything. You two will be the saviors of humanity, as long as you hold onto yours. Find your father's legacy and save us all."

Their mother died in their arms and as the rage pain hate and sadness built up inside them so did their power. Their eyes turned red and as a single teardrop fell from each of their eyes their power resonated and created a shockwave that sent Dante flying out the front while Virgil was hurled out the back of the crumbling house.

Same as it was in the dojo, the boys were drained of all their energy. Spencer made his way over to Dante but they were getting surrounded by more and more demons. Meanwhile Virgil was at the back of the house trying to regain his strength. Demons began to surround him. They got closer and closer. Suddenly Malakai jumped in front of him. He grabbed Vergil's katana and sliced through the demons vanquishing them. He put Virgil's arm around his shoulder and told him, " My name is Malakai and I came here to help you boys. We have to get you out of here now."

Hurt and doubtful Virgil looked at him and told him, "I'm not going anywhere without my brother." To which Malakai replied. "If you will let me use your sword I will help him too. Virgil agreed and Malakai helped him walk to the front of the house.

Malakai left Vergil resting against the house while he went to help Dante and Spencer. Once again Malakai vanquished many of the demons that he himself commanded, but this time more and more demons kept swarming on them. Dante and Spencer watched Malakai Fight the demons in front of them. They turned and looked at each other confused. Suddenly a bigger demon blindsided Malachi. The demon stabbed him in the shoulder and sent him flying back to where Vergil was. Malakai crawled injured towards Vergil and said, "We have done what we can. We cannot help them against this powerful demon. I can get you out of here please let me. There is no point in all of us dying here." Vergil looked down angry and disappointed and before he could answer Malakai put his hand on Vergil's shoulder and they vanished.

Dante and Spencer, surrounded and about to die did not stop fighting. Dante kept trying to stand and Spencer continued to fire big iron until he was out of ammunition. As the demon swarm closed in on them Spencer reached into his pocket and pulled out a vile of holy water. He immediately smashed in the ground in front of them a large blue flame spread from the broken bottle and all the demons were burnt up and disappeared.

Dante breathing heavily and barely able to speak asks, "what the hell was that now?" To which Spencer replies also panting, "That, was sacred holy water. I got it from a Tibetan monk years ago. The reason you're not ash is because it doesn't work on stronger demons or because you are part human."

"Wait, did you know I was immune to it?" Dante asked.
"Eh, fifty fifty." Spencer replied as the corner of his mouth curled in a smile.
"Asshole," Dante said jokingly.

When they were able to stand they walked around the house to look for Virgil. When they didn't find him Dante got really anxious and mad.
"I'm going to kill every last one of these fucktard demons!" He screamed.

"Well... I'm completely on board with ya on that... but there is no way you are doing that right now." Spencer replied out of breath.

"What the hell do you mean? These fuckers are gonna pay!" Dante angrily demanded.

"Once again, I agree. But think about it. Wether they killed Vergil or took him means that neither him not you are a match for them right now. If we go after them they either kill us or capture us. Sorry kid but we need to get you up to par with them and apparently I need to prepare. We need time and a solid plan. I want Vergil back as much as you do but we are useless to him dead. You are going back to training and I don't mean just fighting. You will have to learn everything I know."
