Chapter One: New Alliances
The Demon body collided with the floor and Blood started to pool around it as it burst into a dim flame lighting the area. Standing there was none other than Dante with a smoking gun. "well well if it isn't little Marionette, having a party without me Babe?" he said with a grin.
"Actually I thought I would bring the party to you Since you don't seem to get any of my invites." Allen joked back avoiding being tackled by another demon in human skin. Dante was Quick to give this one a similar facial treatment.
"well than since we got so many crashers let take this elsewhere!" He said obviously eying why she chose a darkened Ally way. She just grinned at him, "I dare you to show me what you got!" he teased. "I can smell it on you The blood of Akuma."
"Oh my aren't you the gentleman," She said removing her left glove and activating her claw. The fingers on her left arm expanded into deadly blades as a strip of silver wrapped itself around her wrist settling into a crown shape. A white Phantom with a silver mask pulled itself form the Balck skin of her arm wrapping around her torso the silver jesters mask coming to rest under her neck. The ghostlike entry covered her right arm in a silken fabric covered her back and formed a fur lined hood with three diamond like fox tails that remind ethereal like as the rest of the fabric made a tail on the coat flailing out like a pair of wings seemingly gar to tear the Demons apart.
Allen grasped her left wrist with a sinister smirk "Hope you don't mind my clowning," she said the smirk never leaving her face for a second as sdrew her arm out into a Long Claymore Adorned with a cross shaped decoration on the insanely large blade looking way to big to wield with one hand yet Allen seemed unfazed by its size.
Dante holstered his gun and Pulled Rebellion form the sheath on his back as if to challenge her. The demons that were chasing Allen descended on the duo with renewed Vigor intent on blood. The two hunters exchanged one final glance before attacking the demons that had them surrounded.
The hunters danced between the blows like a waltzing couple their movements fluid and matching each other. The more the demons came for them the more they got cut down in the display of elegant blows and refined swordsmanship. During this time no one came form ally entry that wasn't a demon; too scared by the screaming dead monsters that came after after Allen or Dante himself once it became noted he was helping her. The energy was eccentrically lively and the two sword fighters raveled in it soon finding their enemy's fleeing.
Once The demons were all killed, with the exception of a few that got smart enough to flee, Allen put the claymore to her stub where her arm once was and let it collapse back into the odd colored limb then phantom fading the last to leave being the mask. Dante pulled out one of his guns and fired off a few rounds into the fleeing demons as if to say 'and stay gone' before holstering his weapons. "Well sweetheart looks like I should play with you more often." he joked turning to Allen in time to catch her as she stumbled. "WHOH; babe you alright?"he asked.
"Ya... I'm just...tired is all." she said regaining some of her footing with Dante's help.
"HI'll tell ya what, you can come stay at my place for a while and get some rest. Its not very far and I take by the lack of transportation you tend to live nearby as well since the subway is closed round these parts at night." he offered, Allen nodded and let Dante escorted her to the Devil May Cry. Somewhere along the lines Allen must have passed out and Dante carried her the rest of the way, because the next thing she remembered was waking up in a warm bed in a strange room. The room smelled oddly of gunpowder, sword wax, lighter fluid and kinda like Dante.
Allen groaned letting out a hiss as she got up and looked around and found who she was looking for perched upon the dresser bedside her. She motioned for the creator to tell her what happened and It did. It was called Timcampy a altered dark order golem that resembled a small birdlike creator with a lions tail. Tim showed Allen what transpired shortly after Dante's invite, and she was grateful for him being at lease somewhat more a gentleman about it than other people she lost awareness around.
After seeing what Tim had recorded Allen made her way downstairs to find Dante at his desk. He appeared to be passed out with some random Auto magazine placed over his face and his feet propped up on his desk. Allen was tempted to roll her eyes at the man still very unbelieving this Man was one of the demon Sparda's offspring.
Sparda was a warrior and to spite his bazaar quarks would probably never be cough asleep with another demon in the building. While there were demons he did trust, like Allen, he still never let his guard down. Even the fragility Allen always had due to her Crystal was not a deodorant to his alertness. Curiosity getting the beater of her Allen decided to see if said punk was really asleep of just pretending.
Thinking for moment she decided on a rather amusing way to see. Making her way over to where he sat swaying her hips along the way she hummed a gentle tune that sounded as mysterious as her plan. Standing next to him she contemplated what kind of convalescences were there for a moment before she suddenly straddled him and ranked her nails down his chest. And before she could register what happened Allen found herself pinned to Dante's desk Said hunter looming over her.
"Morning beautiful!" he said looking oddly at her hairline. Dante cocked his head for a moment than removed the pink wig chickening. "Should have expected that one." He was about to lean down and kiss her when the doors to the Devil May Cry burst open and a scowling priest stood in the way.
"EXCORCIST ALLEN WALKER!" he hissed. The man wore maroon outfit adorned with the seal of Vatican City. He had blond hair tied back in a neat lose ponytail and upon his forehead were two dots. Dante looked at the newcomer with a glare all his own, not being one to like any officials belonging to the Vatican's higher establishment. Allen pouted form her position under Dante that liked a little more comprehending than it should have.
"What the FUCK do you want two dot!" Dante growled not being pleased his booty time was intercepted by the official. Dante's comment left Allen shocked for a mere second there he sounded EXACTLY like Kanda. Shaking off the feeling Allen dropped her head over the desk to look at link and ask a burning question that seemed to ebb at her mind.
"How the Bloody hell did you find me?" she asked not minding or paying attention to the feral Growl emanating form Dante no doubt targeting Link. His growling was subdues some when Allen rubbed her leg against his thy as if to say 'down boy' and her message was revived.
"One of you're coworkers saw you walking here with him; we were informed when we went to investigate you're mysterious disappearance." Links words made Dante curious and he looked down at what appeared to be a rather Irate Allen.
"For Christs sake LINK I'm fucking dam near my breaking point with this being treated like a baby 10 fucking years AFTER I killed the Earl. Now if you don't mind I will be turning my report no the only Akuma I have dealt with recently when I get back to the arc. For now however FUCK OFF and let me enjoy my time with Dante here for a little longer.
Oh and Howard while you're at it tell you're superiors I suggest they remove the oversize stack of twigs form their Asses before Prattling on about MY man hunting I'm a bloody general now and the only one harassed 24/7 at that!" her words made the man freeze in his place and a well timed hiss had him exiting the building with haste. Dante burst out laughing berrying his face in her shoulder to stifle the laughter."what I haven't had any sex for too long Male or Female."
Dante sighed" sounded like you had to head home thou." he pulled himself form her, "you working tonight?" he asked.
"Yes why;"she answered.
"Just wondering why a hoard of demons wanted you, was it that ass or something else." Allen shrugged at Dante as he let her up form his desk. Shaking her head she picked up her wig form the desk where Dante had placed it and proceeded to the door.
"I will look into it, Pleasure meeting you Dante, looking forward to tonight Perhaps we can discuss this further in one of the private rooms at Love Planet." Dante nodded and watched her walk out of the shop her golden pet at her heals, he was about to make a dry comment as a certain unwanted visitor walked in.
"New toy?" she asked gesturing to Allen's fleeting forum; "You know there was a Vatican official waiting outside right, tell me he was a customer the church is bound to pay a fortune!" a Black haired woman walking up to Dante's desk and sat on it a mysterious glam to her multicolored eyes.
"No lady," he answered "Just big brother coming to ruin a make out session with his little sister." He picked up his magazine and placed it back on his face than proceed to Ignore the rest of the woman's rants, specially the part where she suggested another SHIT job he was gonna just have to send Nero or Tish on anyhow. Secretly Dante wondered why Lady tried pushing them upon him, she was working with Lady and Nero was a mercenary for hire to any demon hunter that willed it so long as they were willing to pay the city of Fortuna for his services.
Dante supposed there in was the truth as to why Lady didn't want to give this mission up so easily to anyone stern about their cut. Nero could not be swindled, and Tish was a hard ass when it came to deals. Eventually Dante gave up and accepted the mission, besides it was something to pass the time until he got to see the cute Marionette again.
