I don't own Devil May Cry, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Angel.

"V you know how to get there?" Dante asked.
"Of course I do, but I can't actually do it." He replied.
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"No."
"I hate you."
"I'm trying to think."
Dante threw up his arms and entered the kitchen. Apparently almost no time had passed since the duels had started, which meant that the slayer wouldn't have much time in this realm.
Spike was sitting in the kitchen with Angel, both drinking blood and trying to regain their lost strength.
Agni, Rudra, Rebellion, Yamato and Sparda were together downstairs in the basement. A lot of their power had been used up in the fighting, especially Sparda, which had become close to cracking.
Dante ran into the living room again, "Hey Verg, can't that Willow girl do it?"
Vergil looked up, "I was just thinking that. She's stronger with magic than I am. It's worth a try. Go get her up."
Dante rushed up the stairs, tripped and hit his shin and finally made it up to the top where he soothed his aching leg.
Waling around upstairs, Dante realized he'd never been up here, and had no idea where Willow slept. After walking in on four potentials just waking up and not yet dressed he finally found the room.
Willow was lying asleep under her covers, "Willow," He whispered. Nothing. Dante became annoyed, "Willow!" He yelled softly. Nothing. Girl was a damn heavy sleeper. Getting an idea Dante jumped onto her bed and began hitting her with a pillow. Obviously this woke her.
"Dante!" She yelled as she jumped out of bed and pushed Dante out of her room so fast his head was spinning as he stared at the closed door in front of him.
Vergil came upstairs, "I told you to wake her, not attack her."
"Same thing." He shot back.
"Willow?" Vergil said softly as he knocked on the door, a mumble came from inside and Willow's head popped out of the doorway.
"Can we see you downstairs for a moment?"
Willow nodded, "Sure, I'll just get dressed."
Dante looked at her wide-eyed, "You weren't dressed?"
Dante and Vergil walked down the stairs, Dante mumbling about missing something.
Willow came down shortly after. Sitting together in the living room Vergil asked, "You are strong enough to get people to other dimensions right?"
"Well yeah but I don't know how."
Vergil clapped his hands together, "Excellent. I'll teach you and you can get us to Triaglus."
"Uhmm ok."

Buffy had been brought before the apparent local lord. Aruthia was his name, and by the looks of his furnishings he wasn't a very powerful lord. He seemed to be a mid-sized two-legged wolf. Almost like a werewolf, but more sleek, faster and his nose protruded more. His eyes said he was far more than a dog.
Even so, the guy had a small army of low level demons following him, each almost as strong as Buffy, around the same as a vampire.
"Dorithis tells me you have attained a devil weapon human. How was that possible?"
"My name is Buffy." She said defiantly. A red mark appeared on her cheek as an invisible hand smacked her.
"Humans are not worthy of names. Now what is the name of this wonderful weapon?" He asked, holding the weakened Alastor in his hands.
"Her name is Alastor."
"Really? I know of no weapon in my possession by that name."
"Probably because it isn't yours."
Another smack. "Then how did you attain it? Humans do not carry devil weapons, they are too weak to control them."
"It used to be my friends. He gave it to me."
Another smack. Damn that was getting annoying.
Alastor flung from Aruthia's hands to his surprise and became the form of a human woman, "Now, now, there's really no need for this."
Aruthia took a step back before regaining his composure, "You would take a human form devil weapon? Without my permission?"
Alastor chuckled to herself, "Now dear, who said I needed your permission to do anything. I serve another." She said, looking at Buffy, but Buffy knew she really meant Dante.
Aruthia appeared lost. His loss of control had annoyed him. "You would serve a human!"
"Oh my, I serve whomever I wish. My master wished me to fight alongside Buffy, and so I did."
Alastor's arm spun up and appeared to stop before her face. She smiled as she waved away the invisible hand.
Aruthia's guards appeared to be sweating. Though no demon really sweat. Aruthia snarled, "Guards take the human away. Set her to work in the… fishery I suppose."
Buffy struggled in her chains as the two guards picked her up as they followed a third out the door.
As the doors closed Alastor moved to one of the pictures on the wall, "Who is this?"
"That was one of our divine lords from the old days. All lords keep his picture in their halls."
Alastor mumbled to herself. The man looked familiar. He had the same hair as Vergil. That meant nothing though as devils can produce any human form they wish.
"What was his name?"
"You don't know?"
Alastor turned back to Aruthia, "He looks familiar," She admitted, "But no."
"That is the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda."
Two guards suddenly entered, "Sire there is an energy surge coming from the same area as the human was found. We believe it is a dimensional portal."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"You think you can do it?" Angel asked as he sat down at a corner of the symbol written on the living room floor. They had gained an audience of a few potentials and Xander, who was especially distressed to find Buffy gone.
Dante, Vergil, Angel and Spike sat in their respected corners of the symbol, with Willow in the middle. "Yeah I can get you there, remember that you have to come back to the exact spot to get back."
Vergil said as he closed his eyes. "Do it."
Willow wove the spell from the books Vergil gave her. A dark void appeared above them and began spinning, sucking what was reality into it. Willow's eyes darted and she wove the spell so the void would only focus on the four warriors.
Spike was the first through then Dante, then Angel and finally Vergil. Vergil was the only one who landed on his feet. Looking about Vergil spotted at least ten demons in black cloaks and another four in red. "Get up. We have company."
The demons were already there by the time Dante and the two vampires had gotten up. Vergil was smart enough to encase the two in the same protective shield as before so they could walk in this planets daylight.
The fourteen demons stood together opposite the two devil and two vampires.
"Humans, where did you come from?" One in red asked.
"Earth. We came in search of a friend named Buffy." Angel said.
"Earth?"
"Another dimension." Vergil stated.
"We know of Earth, but that planet is supposed to be ruled by Mundus and his dark general Sparda."
Dante smiled and crossed his arms, "It isn't, Mundus failed."
The red one chuckled, "Whatever you think human, Mundus controls the strings that move that world."
Vergil came to the forefront of the party, "Now look. Number one we have names," Pointing to each of them, "Dante, Angel, Spike and myself, Vergil. Number two, stop dancing around our question, where is Buffy? And third, if you can't take us to Buffy, leave now."
The one in red chuckled once more and didn't move, "Humans are so arrogant. We will take you to your… Buffy. Chain them and take them before Aruthia. Take their weapons as well."
Vergil turned to his group, "So go along with them?"
Dante smiled, "Sure I'm up for a game."
Angel asked, "Will we be able to get to our weapons quickly."
Vergil nodded, "They'll want to take them to Aruthia as well. Present us and them together."
They allowed themselves to be chained. Three chuckled as Angel doubled over when they all kicked him. Smiling with his head to the ground, Angel rose quickly and stretched his stomach and back muscles.
The convoy had arrived at a large village, almost a small town. Humans toiled together in chains, providing for the complacent demons of this realm. Vergil found the demons disgusting, not because of what they did to humans, but how soft they had become.
Coming before a mansion the group broke off, many of the demons that guarded them were replaced by the mansions own personal guard. They handed over all of the weapons as well.
Vergil and the others were unconcerned with these demons; none were stronger than Spike or Angel. There was a larger force within the mansion though. It was almost as strong as Cerberus, or Beowulf.
They entered a large dining hall, where a man-sized wolf sat eating some sort of meat. His nose twitched and his head shot up, "I was not to be disturbed."
The red cloak bowed, "These humans were found the same area as the new human female. They say they have come in search of them from Earth."
"Earth is controlled by Mundus. They are obvious liars"
Vergil was shocked, even this lord did no know what really happened on Earth. He didn't care much though, "Where are Buffy and Alastor?"
Aruthia smiled, or at least a wolf's smile, "Alastor is in holding with the other devil weapons in my collection. She refuses to let me tame her, saying she serves another and I must defeat him to tame her. Your human friend on the other hand is down in the fisheries working."
Dante almost chuckled for Alastor. Vergil was becoming increasingly impatient with the arrogant noble. Finally his pent up anger erupted, "Get us Alastor and Buffy this instant so we may leave!"
Aruthia grinned again, "You humans are going nowhere, and your chains attest to any threat you make."
Dante smiled and sauntered forward to stand by his twin; still smiling he tore the chains off his hands.
Aruthia took a step back before dashing off. Dante was about to pursue him with the others, who had also freed themselves, had they been actually trapped in the first place. Aruthia came rushing back with three swords, obviously devil arms. Throwing two to his personal guards they surrounded the four.
Vergil slowly spun as Yamato appeared in his hands. The others weapons appeared in Dante's, Angel's and Spike's hands as well. All having a laugh they formed a diamond shape, each persons back to the other three.
Aruthia growled and motioned two of the guards to assault and were quickly struck down by Agni and Rebellion. Aruthia loosened, he knew what this was, and "You are among the rebels are you not?"
Date turned to him, "What rebels?"
Aruthia's mind spun, how had four humans quickly defeat two of his personal guards, who were among the best-trained men on the planet. They say they were not with the rebels but no humans other than them would dare face the demons in combat, especially open combat when they were outnumbered. They were trained, strong and eerily calm, except the one with blonde hair, who seemed anxious for battle.
Aruthia studied the weapons in the men's hands. Each carried a devil weapon, same as the woman they seeked. Why did devils serve humans this way? Aruthia could tell all five swords were powerful; two most of all, and strangely those two were in the hands of what seemed to be twins.
Aruthia always found puzzles entertaining, this stalemate could prove useful in understanding his new opponents, "Who do you serve?"
Vergil's stare intensified, "No one but ourselves."
Aruthia waved Vergils response away, "I was speaking to your weaponry."
Agni and Rudra began saying master before Angel shut them up with a smack against each other. Rebellion on the other hand decided to speak, which he rarely did, "We serve those who are strong enough to tame us. Although the man I work with now is not my true master, by his request I serve in battle with him."
"And who is your original master?"
"My first or the one I spoke of earlier?"
"Your first."
Dante was about to interject when Rebellion told him to stop, "My original maker was a devil by the name of Rebeltrious. He fashioned and imbued my soul into this sword for his liege lord to give to one of his sons when he had them."
Aruthia found Rebellion's testimony almost useless. He wanted to know about this liege lord, "Who was this liege lord?"
"My liege lord was named Sparda."
Aruthia took a step back. This was a monument to Sparda. The Dark knight. The strongest devil to ever walk the dimensions, some said as strong as Mundus, even stronger. He needed that sword; with it he could become one of the strongest and most respected lord on Triaglus. If only he could get through these four humans.
"You are a weapon of the great Sparda. Why do you side with humans?"
Rebellion chuckled, which was another thing Dante had never seen him do. Spike still held Rebellion fiercely, waiting for the demons still surrounding them to charge. It appeared the conversation had stalled the fighting. Was that all rebellion was doing, just stalling? For what? "I side with who I choose young Aruthia. Allow my friends to collect their Buffy and bring Alastor here."
Aruthia sighed and sagged. He had to give in, either that or die by the hands of four unusually powerful humans. "Get them Alastor and bring the human here."
Suddenly the doors broke open and three wolf-like creatures, all larger than Aruthia strode in. The one in the lead stopped abruptly and spoke, "So it is true Aruthia. You are harboring rebellious humans. We suspected as much when you refused to take part in the Wintermoor Ritual."
Aruthia stood to his full height, "Lord Monake. These humans are not my allies. You know my father was ill at the time of the Wintermoor. It is our customs to stay close to an ill relative and you know it. I do not harbor humans."
Monake waved Aruthia's speech away, "You are to be executed for treason Aruthia. Your family will be stripped of its lands and given to your neighboring lords…"
Aruthia interjected, "You mean you."
"Yes I am one of your neighboring lords. That is of little consequence. As I was saying, you will be executed."
Dante jumped up, "About damned time."
Monake straightened his back and faced Dante, "Be quiet human rebel. Guards, take their weapons and re-chain them."
As Monake and his associated turned away they sprung back and saw that all the guards in the room dead on the floor. None of the humans had moved, though one was cleaning blood from his blade.
Vergil rose to his full height alongside Dante, "Look here foolish demon. You are too arrogant and complacent here. You have become weak, had you even been strong in the first place. Now we are going to have our friend here as well as her weapon. We will leave this place in peace and you will not stop us."
Monake had never heard a human speak so…openly. Obviously these humans did not fear them; perhaps they should learn to fear the lord Monake. "Take them!" he roared to his associated. The two wolves released an ornate blade each from their sides before rushing in.
Dante took a step back and Monake smiled. All bark and no bite, like many humans. The smile quickly faded as the other silver haired human rushed forward and sliced the two wolves before they could react. They fell to the floor.
"Get us our friend now."
Monake burst from the room, bounding away with massive strides before leaping to all fours and running like a wolf. Dante smiled, "Or not."
Vergil found all of this a waste of time. They were no closer to finding Buffy and at least the had Alastor. Wait, Aruthia had Alastor. Looking around Dante couldn't find the wolf man anywhere, "You've got to be fucking kidding me. You guys go get Buffy. I am so going after that ass."
The others complied and strode out of the room. As soon as they left Dante moved to the window and saw Aruthia in the courtyard, scaling the wall. Kicking the window open Dante leapt out. Falling head first Dante spun in the air. Controlling his descent with his devil powers he hit the floor hard and began sprinting towards the wall.
Aruthia was just jumping down as Dante leapt at the wall sprinting up in and flipping over to land right in front of Aruthia, "Alastor please."
"Die human!" Aruthia roared as he tackled Dante to the ground.
Rolling on his back Dante kicked Aruthia up into the air and flipped up to his feet, spinning and firing Ebony and Ivory at Aruthia.
Aruthia pounced and Dante grabbed the wolf by his throat. Holding him above his face Dante let out a sigh, "So easy. Now Alastor please."
Aruthia sighed and dropped Alastor. She quickly took human form and cooed, "Master, you came for me. So kind of you."
Aruthia gasped, "So…you are her master."
Dante smiled, "Who'd you expect?"
"A devil."
Dante chuckled lowly before erupting in flame then letting them die out, "What do you think I am?"
Aruthia struggled against Dante, "Why… Why do you fight for the humans?"
"I protect them as my father Sparda did. I do right, and besides I like a challenge."
Aruthia gasped again. Their Sparda. The Sparda of legend. Nothing but a sympathizer. This was his son. Easily a powerful devil. How did he not see it? He was nothing before a Sparda. This would not end well.
"What is the meaning of this?" A new voice said.
Turning Dante saw an insect devil. He was far stronger than Aruthia. This must be the same species of devils that Sparda had come from. Aruthia smiled in Dante's grasp, "You should meet the king of this world. That is Sparious. He is the most powerful devil on this planet."
Throwing Aruthia into one of the trees, knocking him unconscious Dante picked up Alastor. "So you want in on this party too?" Dante asked.
Waving his hands Sparious said, "I came to handle the human rebels in this area personally. Since I have apparently found an overambitious one such as yourself I assume I should deal with you, correct?"
Dante smiled and spun Sparda in front of him, "Whatever."
Sparious charged with his own sword, a metallic version of the Sparda. Where Sparda was organic looking, this one was pure metal, gold and jewels. With a single hand, Dante caught the blade in his hand.
Smiling as it started bleed Dante pushed Sparious back with his own sword before throwing him to the ground
"Really now, did you think you could beat me easily human?" Sparious chuckled as he rose, "The enchanted gloves are a nice touch, but no human can best a demon, especially me." Sparious erupted in power, growing in size. His sword became almost a third longer than it had been.
Sparious charged again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Vergil and the others calmly walked into the fishery. Two guards tried to stop them but were instead stopped by Yamato while Vergil never lost a stride.
Finding Buffy quickly was a simple matter. There were only five rows of people, and many were either not blonde and all but one or two seemed like they had not been there for a lifetime. Quickly coming behind Buffy, Vergil grabbed her hand. "Buffy come on."
"Vergil…"
"Yes?"
Buffy sprung on him, nearly choking him with her chain before he snapped it with his hand. She thanked him in between kisses on the cheeks, much to the dismay of both Angel and Spike, who were warily watching both the door and Vergil's hands. Walking towards the door they saw someone blocked it. Monake.
"Halt humans." He said.
Spike rolled his eyes and swung Rebellion aggressively, "C'mon, not you again."
Monake grinned and stepped to the side, allowing them through. There were warriors in black cloaks surrounding the entrance. "Great. Another big fight scene." Both Angel and Spike mumbled.
Vergil suddenly rushed forwards, cutting at least four of the black warriors in a single swipe, they fell to the ground, taking those behind them tumbling as well.
Monake rushed towards Spike. Spike flipped over him and stabbed Monake in the stomach before abruptly pulling it out and beheading the wolf.
Vergil grimaced as he swam through the sea of black cloaks, killing as he went. This must have been the army sent with Monake to take this land from Aruthia. Vergil cared little for the politics of this world and instead concentrated on the next kill, then the one after.
Angel surrounded both him and Buffy with fire and wind, keeping the army at bay while both Spike and Vergil had gone off by themselves to fight more aggressively.
Spike was having a jolly old time with Rebellion. Usually all Rebellion wanted to do was either fight or talk history, which he knew far too much of for Spike's taste. Twirling both himself and Rebellion around he decapitated three more of the black cloaks.
Vergil grimaced as he cleaned Yamato of the blood that covered it. Despite being the thick of a battle, the black cloaks allowed him to wipe the blade clean. They appeared scared, some even taking steps back as Vergil progressed through them. So far not a single one had delivered a blow, or even react.
Vergil's blade blocked a sword coming down as his scabbard smacked the demon in the stomach. Twirling Vergil swung Yamato in a wide arc, killing some and making all others jumped back.
A massive explosion could be heard in the distance as a small group of humans came from a burning building. They each held a primitive weapon, some clubs, and some broadswords. A huge man with a ragged beard led them with a sword as long as Rebellion.
Vergil smiled and rushed towards them, spinning around them and gave them a breathing space. The demons backed away as a few more humans jumped from the flames, all watching Vergil.
The large man stood beside Vergil, "So you're the big fuss?" He asked.
Smiled snickered, "I believe we are. What are you doing here?"
"Originally to free a number of slaves. When we heard Aurthia was being… disposed of we had to help him for our sake. He is far more lenient than many of the lords here."
Vergil nodded and destroyed a single advancing demon; "Aruthia is probably dead by now. My twin will see to it."
The bearded man let out a small smile, "A human against a demon. And you think he'll win?"
"Of course he will. The demons here are weak compared to those of our realm."
The bearded man swung his swords, hitting two black cloaks back. He didn't kill them but they were certainly set back. The other humans had created a defensive semi-circle around Vergil and the bearded man. Beating the black cloaks back.
The bearded man nodded to Vergil as he saw Vergil look at the humans fighting abilities, "We were caught by surprise, we've never seen this many demons in one place. So you are from another dimension. Many of the humans here are, each taken during the yearly Wintermoor Ritual. You have obviously not met Sparious, the king of this world. It's said he's a direct descendant of Sparda, this world's deity. He's far stronger than any demons you've probably seen."
Vergil looked at the mans face. He was being serious. Well of course Sparda would have had other sons. No man could go several thousand years without trying. Vergil had never really thought about it that way. Would this apparent son of Sparda be stronger than he or Dante?
"Really now? I think I can end this fighting and get everyone out."
"And how do you intend to do that?"
"I need to find my brother, stay here and hold this place."
"Alright, but be damned quick about it."
Vergil rushed off, towards Dante's power. Two sons of Sparda against one, if he even was one. They could rule this world and save these humans. 'Like father had done on Earth.' Vergil thought as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop towards Dante.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dante laughed as Sparious grunted with the force of Dante's fist in his stomach. "Would you look at the big king? Can't beat me, can you?"
Spariosu roared and spun his sword towards Dante's head. Dante flipped over the air and slammed Sparda down on top of Sparious.
"Dante! Come now." Vergils voice came form the woods, quickly followed by his form running out from under the brush.
"Awh, but I was just getting started." Dante laughed at Sparious, who was on his back.
As Sparious rose he backed away from the twins, keeping both in his sight, "Who are you two?"
Vergil ignored Sparious and motioned for Dante to follow. Spinning Sparda into it's holding place, Dante sauntered behind his brother. Leaving Sparious to contemplate his enemies.
"So what is it?" Dante asked as they walked together.
"I have a plan to free all the humans here."
Dante flipped his hair out of his eyes, "And?"
"I've found that this worlds God is our father. They will be quick to follow if we announce ourselves as his sons."
"How will they believe us?"
"You can take Sparda's form. I will enter my own form and show them our powers if they…resist."
Dante chuckled, "As long as the humans stay safe."
Alastor came from her hiding place in her human form, "Can we go home now?" She asked Dante.
"Soon. You need to rest. First Kaine then all this."
Alastor let out a sigh and smiled as she took Dante's arm and wrapped it with her own. Damn assassin could be downright ladylike when she wanted to be. She was just like Nevan sometimes, probably why they got along so well. Vergil didn't even mind them being so close together.
"So…what'll happen next?" Dante asked.
"After we get Buffy home?" Vergil replied.
"Yeah."
"I'll probably be leaving the house for a time. I sure Angel will need to go back to his firm soon."
"What do you mean your leaving?"
"You don't expect me to live with you, do you?"
Dante stretched his hands behind his back, "Whatever bro. Hey have you noticed we've only been here for around a week?"
"Yeah, long week eh?"
"Definitely."
Vergil turned to face forward again. Upon reaching the village, they saw the demons still fighting, only this time they were winning. The humans with the bearded man had nearly been beaten back and Spike, Angel and Buffy were off to one side, each having small cuts covering their bodies and panting for more air.
Jumping on one of the rooftops Vergil used what Dante called his big manly like voice. "Halt now!" He roared from the rooftops. Nothing happened and the demons continued fighting.
"Well that didn't work." Dante laughed.
"Oh shut up."
Dante motioned for Vergil to try again and he tried. Still nothing. "Oh screw it," Vergil said as he threw up his arms, "Just do something."
"So we power up on three?"
"Fine."
"One, two, three."
Dante erupted in red flames and quickly roared as Sparda's image exploded from his own. "Good stuff," He said, "Holy crap." Dante spun to Vergil, or should he say Nero Angelo. "Bro..."
"No he's not," It was Vergil's voice, which seemed oddly out of place coming from Nero's face, "I am in complete control of everything he was. He is no longer a being, he must have entered Yamato after I beat him and fused his powers into it after I defeated him."
"Why'd he do that for you?"
"Honour I'd think. He was trained by father."
Dante smiled and bared his canine teeth, "Hey everybody! Look up here!" He yelled to the demons. Strangely it got their attention. "Uhmm…" Dante started, "We're the Sons of Sparda, you obey us or…umm. What do we do V?"
Vergil waved his brother down, despite his personality, Dante was never the one for public speaking, like the time when the were younger and Dante fought to be the tree in the school pageant so he didn't have to have any lines…
"You will obey our laws we give you now. You shall free the humans; you will make your own crops, your own fish. You will fend for yourselves."
The remark about the humans, which was the purpose of the speech, raised some negative comments from the black cloaks. Apparently these demons had gone a long time with humans doing everything for them and didn't exactly like the idea of them leaving. "Great, can I kill some now?" Dante asked.
"Yes."
Dante went giddy with joy as he pulled his hand back and a fireball grew in his hand. Throwing it like a curveball it struck the ground, incinerating a large group of black cloaks.
"Once again, you will let the humans of this world go. Prepare portals to take them back to their worlds and continue your lives. Might is everything, and you have grown weak and dependant!" Vergil yelled from the rooftop.
The demons began bowing their heads. Dante and Vergil thought they had won, until they saw Sparious on another rooftop. "Oh hell." Dante said, "Can I finish him now?"
"Go." Vergl waved him away and powered down so he could take a seat without going through the roof.
Dante jumped from the rooftop to the one Sparious was on, "Look bud, we're taking over." Dante said.
Sparious laughed, "You can't. You'll have to defeat me."
"That's fine with me."
Dante charged and swung Sparda downward. Sparious blocked and was punched in the face. Abruptly Dante drove Sparda through Sparious' stomach. Grunting Sparios pulled him off the blade and fell to the ground. "Who are you?" He asked weakly.
"We're his son's. Kinda but probably not like you." Dante said blankly as he drove Sparda through Sparious' skull.
"Look's like I win." Raising his sword, Dante gave the crowd a celebratory dance, then bowed and spoke, "So I'm guessing I'm king now?"
The black cloaks began in a wave, going to a single knee and lowering their heads. All of them couldn't see Dante pump his fist and say, "Boo-yah."
The humans had already begun freeing their race from the chains. With a nod and a small smile from the bearded man, they were gone. Moving towards the recently created portals in, not so organized lines, the humans shuffled into them.
Dante, Vergil, Buffy, Angel and Spike together walked with a small escort of five black cloaks and three reds. Reaching the portal back to Earth Dante turned to the red cloaks and pointed; "See those woods over there. Aruthia should be in there unconscious, find him and put him in charge while I'm gone. Got it?"
"Yes Your Majesty. When shall you return?"
"I have no idea. Not soon. I've got things to fix in my world, then I'll come back."
"We understand your orders." Another bow and the demons ran off.
Turning the re united group stepped through the portal and into the Summer's living room. Willow was there, as well as Giles, Xander, Anya and many of the potentials.
"Welcome home." Willow said.
"It's great to be back Will." Buffy said as she hugged her friend.
"Well bro." Dante turned to Vergil with his arms open.
Vergil turned away, "Not a chance. I'll see you all later."
"I should be going back to L.A soon. Fred's probably worried sick over me leaving." Angel said, "Oh can I keep these?"
"Didn't you leave a note? And no. Agni and Rudra stay here." Dante said.
"Fine. Well I left a note but you know how Fred gets." Looking around he saw strange looks from everyone, "Or not."
"See ya Angel. Vergil." Nodding Vergil left through the front door and Angel went to his car in the garage and drove off.
"Where's Vergil going?" Buffy asked.
"His own place." Dante replied, "Don't worry about him, he'll be back, when we need him."
Suddenly Dante's phone rang, looking at the call display it was a cell phone; Lady's. "Hello there." He said.
"Hey Dante. I'm here."
"You came?"
"Yeah, we had a bit of a problem back at your old shop."
"Is it wrecked?"
"…Yeah."
"Why does this shit always happen to me?"
"It was Arkham."
"Wasn't Trish supposed to deal with him?"
"Yeah, couldn't get to him before he got on the plane. She's on her way as well with Lucia. Me and Nevan will be there in a couple minutes."
"This is just great."
Nevan's voice came onto the voice, "Don't worry sugar, we'll be there soon."
Dante groaned and hung up. "We're getting more guests."
