Mai-Otome X Capcom - Dante's scenario #2: How To Deal With Bad Guys From Hell?
"Since Dante has troubles facing a lot of demons on his duty, they keep on coming! So, to provide a solution to this pest control crisis, he, Trish, and Lady decide to open up a guild for Devil Hunters, by means of recruiting more mercenaries from Artai and Windbloom."
Back in Dante's shop, he reads to Lady in a newspaper about demons attacking around the Principality of Artai and the Windbloom Kingdom. Their governments say that they are in need of bounty hunters to suppress recurring attacks.
"Take a look at this!", as Dante hands to Lady the newspaper.
"Those demons just got all their all-you-can-eat buffet.", says Lady. "I can't shake the feeling they just keep on multiplying around the two places at the same time."
"Where's a scarecrow when you need one?", Dante sarcastically sneered. "I mean those two places are ruled by a prince and a princess on those two places!"
"No, Dante. Their soldiers lack the experience to fight creatures like you usually fought."
"So, what's the plan? Are we gonna build a guild for hunters?"
"Maybe that idea is the best theory you made, Dante", says Trish, after overhearing the incidents of demons attacking Artai and Windbloom.
"Okay. Then!", Dante shrugs, "Let's start up our Hunter's Guild business! But first, we'll ask some recruitment drive from soldiers around Artai and Windbloom."
The phone rings...
"'Devil May Cry', Dante speaking...", Dante answers the phone, "Okay... pest control problems again? Hmm... Don't worry, I'll take care of that by the time I get there tomorrow... Who's your name is it? Nina Wang, huh? Okay, I'll get there tomorrow."
Trish turned to Dante, "Who was that, Dante?"
"Some kid in Artai... Demons have been attacking the royal palace.", says Dante. "Man. What a pain!"
"Just stay focus, Dante. In no time, we'll recruit more Devil Hunters."
"By the way, are any of the newbies we can find have their own Devil Arms?", asked Lady.
"Their just soldiers, Lady. They got their own tools for the trade.", Dante comments on Lady's questions.
The following day, Dante, Lady, and Trish split up. Trish and Lady head into Windbloom kingdom to persuade its princess to recruit soldiers to be aspiring Devil Hunters, while Dante in the other hand, heads to Artai to convince its prince to recruit their soldiers to work for him; it doesn't matter how much it pays, though.
Dante arrives in the palace in Artai.
"Hello?! Anybody home?", Dante shouts loudly upon entering the throne room. "Hm? Looks like no one's here. Well, time to head-"
"Ah, are you a Devil Hunter?", a man wearing elegant clothing appears before Dante.
"Were you the guy who called me last night?", Dante asks.
"No, that was my daughter, Nina who told you about the recurring demon attacks yesterday."
Dante turns into his attention, "Who would you might be?"
"I'm the prince's right-hand man. Major Sergay Wang. And you're...?", Sergay introduces himself to the latter.
Dante rolled his eyes and introduces himself as well, "The name's Dante. I'm a Devil Hunter, a paranormal mercenary in other words."
"Dante?", as Sergay learns that very name, "You're Dante the Son of Sparda?"
Dante sighs and says to himself, "Since whenever my dad had time for autographs with these assholes?", then again turns his attention to Sergay, "How well you have ever heard of my father?"
Sergay blinked, "I have heard many tales of your father's heroism when he came into this world. I bet you are just like him..."
"Look, tough guy. I'm not the only one kicking asses of bad guys who come from Hell, I have another of my kind.", as Dante tells Sergay about his twin brother, Vergil. "Just shut the hell up, and take me to your boss, okay!"
"Alright.", as Sergay led Dante to Nagi, who is just outside the palace.
"Your highness!", Sergay yelled.
"What is it, Sergay?", Nagi turns his attention to his servant and the Devil Hunter.
"Your highness, there is someone to see you...", as Sergay proudly introduces Dante to his master, "This is Dante. If you look at him, he does resemble Sparda himself."
"So, what does the Son of Sparda want from me?", Nagi asked sarcastically.
"I got my ass here for two reasons.", as Dante explains his objectives; "One, his (Sergay) daugther just called about demons attacking here. And two, I'm asking to recruit your soldiers to our Devil Hunter's Guild. There are only three of us, and we can't deal a horde of bad guys from Hell in just once."
"Hm, so there's a lot of demons who multiply like insects, I see..." as Nagi points Sergay to Dante, "You can ask Sergay to recruit our soldiers into your guild."
"Okay, it doesn't matter how much we pay them. My boss just paid me a little amount.", Dante shrugged.
After Nagi agreed to contract with Dante of recruiting soldiers to become Devil Hunters; Nina, Sergay's daughter appeared. As a brigade of Scarecrows are storming the palace.
"Your highness! Father! There are demons are attacking the palace!"
Upon hearing Nina's cry for help, Dante goes out to deal with them. Dante draws out Agni and Rudra, as he engages the Scarecrows
"Time to turn up the heat!", as he goes into his Devil Trigger. With Sergay and Nina watching in horror on how Dante metamorphs into a demon.
The moment Dante does dual sword slashes, creating a heat vortex burning everything in the general vicinity; it shouts "Ashes to Ashes!", then he follows up by spiraling slashes, the other one says "Dust to Dust!"
For the final touch, Dante does a million slash combo, whilst the two swords laughing. After landing the final blow into one of the Mega Scarecrow, Dante shouts, "Silence!"
The Scarecrows explodes, as Dante turns around saying, "That's how you deal with bad guys from Hell!"
Sergay, in disbelief, was impressed of Dante slaying demons "Unbelievable! So this is what Sparda had left..."
Nina, in the other hand, asks Dante, whilst trembling in fear, "You're... not human?!"
Dante sighs, "Who knows... Maybe you should ask God, your dad, or anyone else."
Author's Note: I only hope I'm able to tie the stories together relatively well. Not to mention, this is somewhat prior to Arika becoming an Otome, as with the scenarios of Chris and Jill, Nero and Vergil, and with X and Zero.
