Remember, I don't own Devil May Cry, Dante, Nero, Trish or Lady, but I do own Dorri so please don't steal her! I don't make any money from this, it's purely for entertainment.


Dante heard a loud female shriek from downstairs, sending him flying to his feet, smacking Nero's head against his knee on the way.

"OW!" the younger growled, looking up before gasping as the scent of demons-not just Dante filled his nose. "Shit." he hissed, grabbing Blue Rose and Red Queen from nearby. Dante was already a step ahead sweeping up Rebellion, Ebony and Ivory and running out of the room without his shirt on.

The elder hunter got out of the room and jumped over the railing down into the office which was swamped with demons mostly lower levels and they were going after the girls. Dorri was crouched behind the two female devil hunters. She seemed to be the one who'd screamed earlier.

Lady was going crazy with all her pistols and firearms, bullet casings littering the ground by her feet. Trish was firing Luce and Ombra with amazing speed to keep the devil's at bay.

Dante pulled out Rebellion as he fell and brought it down on a few of the unsuspecting demons below him. He landed harshly with his knees bent and swiped his blade out slicing a few of the Envy demons in half their sickles falling uselessly to the floor.

"'Bout damn time!" Lady shouted above the noise.

"Less talking!-More fighting!" he said, making his way to the wall where he pulled down a dark purple guitar. He hit it fast with a chord; bats and lightning flew out and around destroying everything near him as he preformed quick runs of notes. The faster he went the further the attack extended making a cushion of protection that the ladies quickly moved into.

"Where the hell is Nero?!" Trish yelled.

Dante's fingers faltered on the bands of electricity that served as strings, making the attack stop momentarily.

"Keep playing! For Christ's sake! I'll get him!" Lady shouted moving out of the protective circle blowing the head off any demon that dared to get near her. She pulled herself up and over the grate on the side of the stairs with stunning agility killing the demons standing on the stairs and on the landing as she made her way to Nero and Dante's bedroom.

Upon getting inside she found the young half-devil, slashing away from where he was pinned in the corner of the room his right arm held close to his body, oozing glowing blood from his stitches. Demons had broken through the window and now were also coming through the doorway.

"Where the hell are all these fuckers coming from!?" she yelled loudly. Nero glanced up with relief at the sound of her voice and started attacking with renewed vigor now that he had someone to help him.

Lady spun this way and that, avoiding scythes and other sharp and dangerous weapons as she blew the demons away as quickly as she could. A sweat was breaking out across her brow from the exertion but she'd be damned, literally, if she slowed down now.

Nero continued to hack away at the demons before him feeling the need to reach out and grab them with his demon hand to get them away from that side. Unfortunately his arm was throbbing, his hot blood rolling down the crevices in his armor from grabbing a Lust earlier before it could kill him.

"Hurry up Nero! Help me block this window!" Lady demanded, making her way towards the window, bending and twisting, firing at all the demons in her path.

"With what!?" he demanded.

"Anything!"

"They'll just break it!" he yelled in response grabbing one of the demons on his right side and slamming it viciously into the wall. His stitches broke at the exertion and he let out a quiet sound of pain.

Lady got near the window and with a few quick shoves managed to get the dresser in front of it and hold it there, stopping the demon's advance while Nero finished off the rest in the room so he could help her put as much as possible in front of the dresser to keep it in place.

"Is your arm okay Nero?" she asked with concern, seeing the glowing puddles of blood on the floor as well as coating his arm.

"I'm fine. Where's Dante?"

"Downstairs jamming away on that damn demon guitar."

"Okay, let's get down there." the kid sighed turning towards the closed door, psyching himself up to take on what was behind it. Before he could open it himself however the wood burst off it's hinges, flying through the room, smacking Lady in the face before she could move out of the way.

"Lady-shit!" Nero swore, blocking a scythe from slicing him in half with Red Queen's blade…but more were coming…Lady seemed to be knocked out and he was hurt. He started to feel…nervous maybe a bit scared. "Dante!" he screamed, fear piercing his voice, though he convinced himself that it was on Lady's behalf, not his own.


Dante felt his fingers burning from playing Nevan so long. Even his actual guitar calluses weren't totally resistant to the electrifying strings. The demonic guitar seemed to be getting tired herself, the lightning emanating from her weaker and the bats sluggish and slow. Trish was trying to pick up the slack, she was out of bullets, but there seemed no end in sight of the demons that she was electrocuting without mercy.

Dorri stayed ducked behind the two, she couldn't be any use so she just tried her best to stay out of the way.

"Dante!" Nero's voice rang in the elder hunter's ears a note of terror clinging to that simple word.

Nevan fell to the floor with a screeching whine, repelling the demons for a moment as Dante moved to leap up the side of the stairs to get to the second landing.

"Yeah-no problem Dante! Just leave me with the helpless girl and a thousand demons!" Trish yelled sarcastically.

"Just get her out of here!" he yelled back, fighting his way into the bedroom where Nero's back was to the wall, tears of pain slipping down his cheeks without his permission from his arm being pinned to the wall by a scythe. Meanwhile he continued trying to fight off the demons with Red Queen, occasionally managing a roundhouse kick to get the bastards to back off. Neon blue covered the wall below his arm and pooled on the floor.

"Kid!" he shouted.

"Get Lady!" he yelled back stabbing another demon with his signature blade and letting fire engulf it.

"Lad-" he stopped short upon seeing the female hunter's arm, with one of her pistols, sticking out from under the door laying on the floor. "Damn it!" he hissed running over and devil triggering to grab the door and pull it up and off, smacking a handful of the monsters in his bedroom with it. He grabbed the brunette under her arm and pulled her upright with his right hand firing Ebony with the other.

"Come on Lady." he said with his gravelly demonic voice.

"Mm…wha?" she mumbled, bringing a hand up to her bloodied temple, leaving a smear of crimson on her fingers.

"You got it?" he asked.

"Yeah-I'm fine." she said, brushing him off.

"Get back downstairs with Trish then, get out of here if you can!" he ordered, shoving her forward through the throng of slow moving demons, once again turning his attention to his injured lover. Nero looked sickly pale, his breaths coming in harsh pants as he struggled to fend off the impeding horde.

"I'm-" the older half-devil was cut off as the barricade over the window gave; the things blocking the dresser flew forward before the chest of drawers fell onto it's front. A figure jumped over the rubble towards Nero's right side-the one he couldn't defend, and pointed a blade at the kid's throat. It was so close Nero held his head to the wall and when he breathed he could still feel it slicing the first layer of his skin.

Red hair caught Dante's eye and he knew it was the one who had brutally sliced his lover's arm open. A demonic growl burbled in his throat, his eyes glowing like red hot coals.

"Check and mate Son of Sparda." Cobarde smirked.

Nero pulled back his lip to snarl. His hands were shaking and his grip on Red Queen was so tight his knuckles were white.

All the other demons in the room had stopped moving and it was somewhat eerie. They seemed to have stopped on the lower floor as well seeing as there was no sound from there either.

"Now you make a very difficult decision. Will you save your mate and come with us to open the hell gate, or see him die before your very eyes?"


Yes, this was a very action packed chapter, not my usual style but it was sort of necessary for this chapter so I hope you guys liked it and I didn't confuse you too much. Lady played a bigger role in this chapter too, and I've discovered I like using her because she can say whatever she wants. XD Well, leave me a review and let me know how I'm doing!! Until next time!

Ja ne!
