The Eulogy of Dante – Part II
Jester: Demons may die and devils may cry/ But Dante's the half-breed who will never fly/ Abandoned by his father, they've taken his mother/ And made a demented soul out of his brother/ So now, mourn his friends; to speak for the dead/ Cause our favorite devil hunter is finally amongst the dead/ Wait, I said dead twice. *dark laughter* Ding dong, the son is dead/ They cut him open and chopped off his head/ Ding dong, the son of Sparda is dead… *dark continuous laughter*… Mundus (aka The Prince of Darkness): It's so hard to speak to dead Dante, though you already know that. First, I lured Sparda away from protecting you. Then I took the life of your mother leaving you alone. And lastly I made your brother my soulless pet obsessed with your destruction. It's funny how all your life the dead is all you had to comfort you. Now all that remains of your bloodline is what I make of it. I think, maybe, the savoir who failed humanity. *grim chuckle*… Sanctus (aka Vicar of Sparda): So foolish… your father must be disappointed in you. Without the order that I was going to bring the world, *coughs*, it will surely fall into the hands of darkness. What I offered humanity you have damned. The paradise that could have united under Fortuna's rule will be cast out. But your undeniable death will insure evil take over this world…*coughs*. My evil… Arkham: I admit not being able to wield Sparda's power. But you couldn't even control your own. If I was born with the natural potential given to you as Sparda's son, my life would have not been as forfeit as it was. Yet you weren't the one who took my life you gave little Mary the will power she needed to finally pull the trigger. Bang, bang, bang… Sanctus continued… You thought it would end with the Savior. You damned fool, *coughs*. The very realm I wished to take hold over is where you sent me. So many beautiful creatures thrive here; even more magnificent than Sparda. They all have the thirst to purge humanity of their wickedness. And I have accepted the task of leading them. For power, *coughs*, power is the key to purity… Mundus continued…: Do you understand now? Humans will always be human. No demonic blood, not even that of Sparda's, could swell over your mortality. I shall live forever. The destiny of your lineage will be left to watch me envelope the world in darkness… Jester continued… Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang… You should have been there Dante. I never thought she was going to stop. Bang, bang, bang, *dark laughter*. And to think I wanted to walk her down the aisle. *Dum, Dum, Dum-dum, Dum, Dum, Dum-dum* Oh, but you didn't even know she loved you. So sad is love, her mother didn't even realize I was evil until I killed her *dark cackling*. Your death could be a good thing son-in-law, son of Sparda, son of a beep-beep-beep. Censors, I forgot I was at a funeral. But really I killed Mary's mother and Sparda's existence led to Eva's, or is it Trish now *thinks about it*, untimely death… Arkham continued… It's simple to say they you would have led to her death as well. Demon slaying, after all, isn't for children. She could hurt herself. And if she died you would be in a greater hell then you are. But don't worry, I'll return and take good care of her… Sanctus (as Diabolica) continued… Those you have slain in the name of Sparda will rise once more as my angelic court and we will make the world you've abandoned cry in agony. For the sins of the son humanity will suffer and the skies will rain blood and the earth roar with death. Dante, I will make certain this eternal life of the damned you've sentenced me to is carried to everyone you care for, all who lives you have saved and those who beg for your assistance in their time of need! I SHALL BE THE DEVIL YOU'VE MADE ME END THIS WORLD!!! Mundus continued… Such a waste… only if you were more like your father or Vergil… Maybe then I would have three generals worthy of ruling over earth with me. But killing your mother had an inverse take on you then it did my Nelo Angelo. Do you want to know why I killed her? She was an obstacle. The only claim Sparda had to his humanity. Why do you think he never came home? The father you loved and respected so much didn't care worth a damn about you… Vergil realized this truth. And this is why he lives to see your end… Jester/Arkham continued… Bang, Bang, Bang, *dark cackling*. The sound echoes in hell. Alas, that isn't the only phrase that constantly repeats here. Sanctus continued… Even after death the lore of your exploits tramples over my distilled mind… *coughs*… Mundus continued… However, I will be ever more pleased to kill individually those who would chant your name; Dante. You, the son of Sparda… Jester continued… Bang… *maniacal laughter*
