Alright next chapter, sorry nothing on dante yet, but enjoy Nero!

Nero ran along the street, Patty on his back, for once being quiet. The demons had tapered off enough to where he no longer had to plow threw them with his devil arm. Patty had been all too excited by the arm when she had seen it. Most people shied away from looking at it and never asked about it. Patty had not shut up for five minutes asking questions like crazy about it. How had he got it? Did it hurt? Did it itch? Had he ever scratched himself with the wrong hand and torn off some skin? Thank god she finally shut up!

"Nero" she spoke up from his back. Nero dreaded further questions but turned to look at Patty. "Do you know where you're going?"

"Of course I do." Nero said back. "You told me Dante's shop was in this direction, right?" he gestured with his head in the direction he was going. "So we should be there soon. How far is it anyways?"

"Well yeah, but why are you even here? Why do you need to find Dante?" she asked

Nero groaned and came to a stop. "Do you ever stop asking questions?" he said glancing over his shoulder. "Besides, why do YOU need to find Dante? You clearly can't fight, so why are trying to find him. You should get as far away from that as possible." He jammed his devil bringer at the giant evil eye in the sky.

Patty opened her mouth to respond, her face showing it was to be an angry retort, when her words were drowned out by a motorcycle engine. The pair looked to their right as a red motorcycle swerved around the corner, a small figure riding close to the body of the bike. The bike blazed straight towards them so fast Nero barely had time to react. He humped to the side missing the bike by only inches. As his feet touched ground he felt patty be yanked from his back.

Nero spun around in time to see the biker skid to a stop, patty in one arm as the other drew a .45 handgun. Nero dived to the side as the bullets struck the ground. He flipped blue Rose from his belt, firing at the women on the bike. She leaned down, using the bike as a shield from the bullets before kicking the machine at him.

He scoffed as he leaped over the bike and lunged towards the women. She was already up, her handgun in one hand and a scorpion sub machine gun in the other. The bullets showered around Nero. He used his devil bringer to block most of the bullets but several still managed to hit his arm, and abdomen. Nero growled through the pain as he landed only a few feet from the women. She made a move to jump back, but Nero wanted to keep things close.

He reached up with his left hand knocking her hands aside, getting the guns away from him. He snatched up with his devil bringer, trying to grab her suit but when she fell backwards he setteled for the guns, tearing them away from her but not without a price as she slugged him in the face. With a kick to the gut she pushed herself away from Nero into the air. Nero was recovering from the kick when he saw the three round objects laid at his feet and the three pins dangling from the women's fingers. "Shit!" he yelled trying to escape the blast of the grenades.

Nero rolled away as the blast tore up the ground. His coat was a little charred but he managed to get away with only a few burns and cuts. He growled as he tossed the guns aside. "What are you going to do without your guns?" He yelled at the women. She reached down near her destroyed bike and stood up with a cylindrical item under her arm. Nero looked a little closer, and saw the item was a large customized rocket launcher. "Oh come on!" he protested as the rocket fired off towards him.

The rocket exploded under him as Nero used his devil bringer to pull him up towards a street lamp. Another rocket flew at him from below, but Nero was ready now. Using his devil bringer, he pulled the rocket off course as he propelled himself down towards the women. Another rocket fired up at him and struck the building, showering the area in smoke and debris. Nero hit the ground hard and immediately drew Blue Rose and leveled it on the women's helmet, inches from the visor. As the smoke cleared he saw the bayonet barrel of the rocket launcher was inches from his face. The two warriors froze neither so much as flinching.

"Would you two stop fighting!" patty's voice screeched through the street. The two turned to face the young girl. "Lady this is Nero. He's a good guy!" She turned to Nero. "Nero this is Lady, my friend; now stop trying to kill each other!" She screamed as she pushed the weapons away from one another.

Nero stepped back as the women removed her helmet. Her brown hair fell out to her ears, and her eyes were different colors. She stared at Nero, matching his cold glare, before speaking. "Another demon friend huh?" she looked Nero up from head to toe. "You know Dante?"

"Yeah I do. What's your problem anyway? You always shoot people when you meet them?" Nero retorted to the women as she ignored him, retrieving her guns.

"A demons a demon." She said coldly. "You're a demon. I kill demons. It's really that simple." She stood and cocked her handgun leveling it at Nero. "Got a problem with that?"

"Yeah I do because I'm not a demon!" he snapped stepping closer to her, the barrel of the gun against his chest.

"Then what do you call that?" She said gesturing towards his devil arm.

Nero moved his arm behind his coat. "It's complicated." He growled.

Patty jumped in between the pair's death glare looking to lady. "Lady where is Dante?" She asked.

Lady sighed. "Don't know. He left towards the big eye in the sky. He wanted me to find you and get you out of town." She said unzipping the racing suit. Nero couldn't help but watch as she slipped out of tight suit, revealing a white blouse and an ammo skirt lined with bullets, clips and grenades. 'Note to self. Don't piss this woman off.' He thought to himself.

Patty huffed as she turned away from the two. "How dare he think he can just order me around?" She hissed. She turned around on her heel. "I'm not going anywhere! C'mon we need to find Dante!"

"Sorry patty, but you're leaving town." Lady said firmly. Patty opened her mouth but Lady clamped her hand over it. "I don't know why, but this has Dante real shook up. If there is a reason he wants you out of town, it's because he is really worried."

Patty let out a sigh of defeat. "Fine, but he better be ready to explain this!" She threatened as she walked to Lady's bike. Nero looked to the older women.

"So where is Dante? There's something I need to tell him. And I figure I can help while I'm at it."

Lady glared at Nero from the corner of her eye and looked about ready to attack him, but her look softened. "I don't know what's going on or where he is, but if you can help, you may want to go towards the eye, that might help, He shouldn't be hard to find. Just listen for his obnoxious voice and follow the trail of destruction." Nero nodded and turned away. "Hey," she called. Nero turned on his heel to look at her. "Make sure he comes back alive."

"First I gotta find him." Nero said throwing his arms in the air. As soon as he did there was an explosion in the distance. Then pair turned to see a giant blackish red wave of energy erupt from further in the city. The wave shot hundreds of feet in the air, sending bits of buildings airborne. It cut, moving and destroying everything along its blade like path for nearly a mile. "Well I guess I'll start there." Nero said taking off towards the origin of the massive energy wave.

. . . .

A few miles away, Vergil cut though another devil and kicked a pride demon in half when the energy wave rose far from his position. He paused; as a pride demon lunged at him from the side he caught it by the neck holding it absentmindedly. He stared in awe at the blackish red wave, but it more resembled a slash, like one made by Yamato. Vergil knew this power he had felt it once before, held once before. The power of sparda, but underneath there was something else. Something familiar.

"Dante." He hissed. Squeezing his hand in anger, he snapped the pride demons head off dropping the body to the ground. He slashed two more demons away before running down the street, towards his twin and their next encounter.

Man that was a long one. What is the mysterious energy wave in the distance? And what will happen when brothers come face to face? My guess, blood. Next chapter is coming be patient and please review it helps motivate me.
