Devil May Cry: the Animated Series 2: Light and Darkness

By Tayla Drago

What are dolls? Back in the old days people made tons of them for children to love and play with while growing up with stuffing, stitching, sewing, and dressing up anyway they like and over the years it involves for all the boys and girls to play with from dolls, stuff animals, and many other toys in stores. Some for some ages growing up to have with them for the rest of their lives. Some of them can be fun or some things can become a movie to make dolls or toys come to life good or bad to watch or not to bring the thrills or chills such as the Chucky films or killer clowns that people are afraid of 'even though none of them aren't real'; the silliest questions for others saying why were any of the films made in the first place? Some answers have very good reasons or others don't care about at all. So whether the dolls people have are cute looking, pretty, amazing, or just weird it's how they make money for kids to buy different ones to love to be a puppet, talk, remote controlled, sleep with, or just having fun.

Somehow in the Human World there are some magic users, demons, or voodoo people to create an evil spirit controlling a normal looking doll or a doll of someone to control with dark magic… Lately in town one by one, every children goes missing from their homes for parents to find them with no luck or trail of their whereabouts for one minute they're playing until later they just started disappearing just like that and still happening today; for one human girl has the power from a one small doll house hiding many things that's big enough to hold many children trap in there with this girl 'thinking' that she was unless she says so to play with forever but really being used by a demon possessing as a doll that she can only understand it. Sally was her name for some people call her by her nickname 'the Walking Doll': about eight years old, with brown eyes, blue hair in a yellow two ponytails, white shirt with green stripes, short pink dress, red shoes, and carries a yellow backpack. A sweet, friendly, and innocent girl she was who loved her doll and love having many friends but her life wasn't so well for her mess up family between a busy drugged up mother and a drunken father ended up both dead for the father to get worse one night to take his wife and his own leaving poor Sally all alone to be adopted.

Though she wish to have friends as a family since they had were their mothers and fathers which made her sad thinking about how her parents were once until they changed bad afterwards. The last Sally was seen when someone left her a doll house that was really deadly for something small can hold many big things in a different world for a human to create and a demon in a body of a doll to control and fool with the mind of any living beings. A strange looking doll with red hair, one eye, a stitch up mouth, a black dress, a glove on the hands, a black boots. For Sally's the only one born with a special gift who understands her Dolly that appeared out of nowhere with the mysterious doll house 'though one can hear what the doll's saying to Sally who can understand and thinking' that's her only friend who's been spying on a certain girl lately close by who's the next target with the other missing children. With Sally smiling thinking that her world was getting better, she doesn't know the real danger from the Dolly Demon with her eye glowing up.

"At long last I have fun you."

Level#10: 'Inside the Doll house'

It's been three days since Kate had a fight with Jason after fighting and beating both Derek and Gator that were the members of the Nine Primarchs, which makes three down so far. Only for Dante, Kate, Kagero, Lady, Genma, Trish, Billy, Lully, and Jason to be stopped and almost killed by the powers of Aeon himself and seeing the two new ones with April and Eye they met with in person so far; lucky that the others help them out also from Dante's amazing Devil Trigger taught Aeon a lesson during their fight which wasn't enough to stop the demon 'who serves with Lushfel and most loyal one just not to Terror's point of view'.

Hearing the truth and seeing the way Jason and Kagero were afraid of Aeon also that Jason had a history of a very dark past during the war for Morrison and Charles to know all about and not telling Kate the truth about Ellia at all. Since then Kate has moved in with a normal life and good job for Jason has learn that his only daughter's now a woman to live on her own, still either one of them aren't so happy right now. Jason a mess back at home probably crying while beating himself up all drunk up with lots of booze, and Kate unpacks the other things from home into the Devil May Cry building, the other rooms, and her new one to see in with a very big bed 'thanks to Dante'. While she was doing that, Kate was looking through a lot of photos when she was a little girl hanging out with Jason growing up for he did kept her happy while protecting her: from going to the park, going swimming at the beach, having fun at the zoo to see the animals, celebrating many holidays, and keeping her childhood doll a unicorn she names it Blazes. Staring at it, Kate over thinks on what she said about Jason to stay away from her even though he can be annoying she still loves him. So she sighs and tries to finish unpacking the rest of her things.

"Oh, Dad, when will you ever tell me the truth?"

On the streets of town, Dante was walking around while reading a newspaper he got saying on the first page that was big about 'mysterious disappearances on every children in town for parents are worry about them and police are on the search with no leads so far, making them worry for their kids and others protecting them too'. The reason why Dante was out, because he wanted to pay a little visit to Jason for he, Kate, or anyone else 'not even Morrison, Charles, Nina, or Patty haven't seen or heard from him lately' or the bar hasn't been open for the pass 48 hours of the three days that passed by quickly. Once Dante was near the door he began knocking on the door to try to get some answers from Jason by using his way.

"Yo, old man? Old man…? You home?"

No answer, Dante began to knock louder and harder on the door.

"Earth to Jason Jones, we need to have a men to men talk. I know you're home."

He kept on knocking over and over again.

"Don't make me walk myself in there now."

Dante backs up and kicks the door open, once he walks in he sees the place dark, bottles of alcohol all over the floor all emptied, and there lies Jason on the ground half asleep and very drunk seeing that he cried himself to sleep. After Dante made a loud noise which he made wake up not liking the sun light coming out from outside and tries blinding his eyes.

"Ah… Too bright… today…"

Before Jason fell asleep again, Dante grabs him by the shirt to knock some sense into the man.

"Wake up, you drunk!"

"What!? Piss off already!"

Dante drops Jason back on the ground which finally woke him up.

"Not going to happen, now you and me let's talk."

"About what?"

"About you keeping Kate like a pet trap in a cage until you came to your senses to let her live with me. Not just by helping Kate to control her powers but to protect her. And here you are drunk and being a wuss not telling your only daughter the truth about your so call lover who gave her life for the two of you without saying anything your dark stupid past to that poor girl. You know what happened three days later today? Kate is suffering back at my place showing that she cares but still mad and you not working and drowning in freakin' sorrow thinking you can get rid of your pain, you're making yourself worse!"

"So what of it? I was wrong back then and I changed that for the better! Do you think after all of that I wouldn't forget how she felt? I didn't! I was going to tell Kate everything until Aeon spilled the beans so now… There are things I'm afraid to say to her! Just not right now."

"You're too stubborn not telling Kate the truth, you know right?"

"You wouldn't understand if I told her the whole thing!"

"Well, I wouldn't let her suffer right now because of this mess!"

The two men stared at each other showing that both Dante is proving a good point to Jason and so is he for some parts, but not all was good to keep a secret that's too dark and deep to say anything about it to someone you love who wishes to know from long ago. So now the rest was up to Jason to decide after Dante knock some sense into him and was about to leave the place, without saying a few things before he left.

"You know what? Do what you like that's up to you. Just so you know if you are going to see us wait because we got a mission from people begging us to find their kids, you name it mommies and daddies demanding them back alive from a demon on the loose with a good prize for payment. It's been all over the news since last month only gotten much worse. Just remember what we talked about earlier and telling the truth to Kate face to face and I'll be there to listen."

Dante kicks the bottle near Jason.

"And one more thing, get back to business. This place looks like a complete dump."

Dante then leaves the bar/home for Jason to make it back to his place so later on he and Kate can do their job to hunt down a demon and save the missing the children, with Jason looking at the mess he made and thinking it over on what Dante said and seeing himself in the mirror that he looked like a mess that he was wrong and what he was doing was only killing him from the inside out. That is when within his eyes began to open meaning he got serious on what he was about to do next. Back at the Devil May Cry building with Kate all done unpacking, she was lying on the coach just looking and holding her doll with Jason on her mind, until that ended when she heard a knocking on the door thinking it was another costumer.

"The door's open, come on in."

That didn't happen and the door kept on knocking with Kate telling that person it was opening.

"Hello!? I said it was open!"

Still nothing happen with more knocking noises so Kate no choice but to open to door for that person and answer it herself.

"What is it!?"

Kate thought that person or more than one would be at the door, once Kate opens it she sees no one or nothing near the door but one doll house lying down next to her. It wasn't mailed by anyone she knew or got a heads up about it, no return address, or any other children around that might of drop it somewhere and forgotten. She looked around outside to see if anyone then ask if it belong to someone.

"Hey! Who left there doll house toy near this place? Anyone? If so please come pick it up because it isn't mine to begin with or ever will be. Seriously, doesn't belong to nobody here?"

There was nothing or any word from the people walking by so Kate thought it could belong to one of the kids that been kidnapped from the demon and left that a while back, so she thought holding on to it until the mission was over would be the best thing to do. But really she felt something about it that was inside of it all sad with odd powers. Once Kate brings it in the building she started to look around the toy set seeing only what any doll house would look like from the inside and out and no dolls in there or any plastic items to go with it, still Kate couldn't help but sense there was something about the strange item that showed up out of the blue making her confused, very confused.

"This is all too weird here. Maybe Dante can help me out when he gets back."

Kate leaves the doll house be until Dante returns for them to look at it together. She went back on the coach to relax from within in her hand she still has the red orb-like jewel 'once having the Angel Sword but got destroy by Aeon' hoping that she'll have a better weapon sooner or later until then she had to wait for a while. Without Kate knowing, strange shadow-like ghost arms come popping out of the doll house slowly creeping at Kate about to grab her with no doubt had to be the real demon whose has been kidnapping children all over but why? And why was it going after Kate who's only 19 years old for? The little girl sees her, smiles, and orders her friend Doll to bring her into her new home from the doll house itself. Kate looks around the room for she started hearing noises also the hands sneaking their way to her from behind this time, and by poking her by the back to get her attention.

"Who's there?"

Kate sees the shadow hands in front of her and freaking out for the demon laughs, grabs hold of her, and drags her right into the doll house like going through the black hold of a different dimension for she screams all the way down to a different world, leaving the place normal and the doll house still standing. Kate screams all the way through until everything goes black all over causing Kate to go out cold.

Afterwards a few minutes went by Kate slowly wakes up seeing she wasn't at Devil May Cry or anywhere else in the city but a world filled with strangeness; seeing toys coming to life like claymation 'of Tim Burton's style', random classic cartoons showing up all over walls, the whole area looking like a dark place with glowing painting like glowing sticks at a rave party club, everything else all around to be very big, and sees all the children 'the ones that went missing' are in the room with her from down below. For all of them are scared, confused, sad, miserable, crying, and trying to find their parents like there were prisoners for a very long time. Kate was shock to see them suffer like this and tried helping them out without thinking, but she couldn't break free from the chains holding her by the arms for they were too strong. At the same time she was confused on what was happening to her, why she was here in the weird place, and why is all the missing and suffering? Also sees herself wearing a princess like outfit was a bit too tight to show the size of her butt sticking out from the dress though it was long but it was a child's size making Kate feel embarrass wearing it.

"What? What is this place? This missing children suffering, why are they here? Why am I wearing this dumb costume? What's going on here!?"

Kate hears the laughter of a little girl getting closer and closer for the children know what that was and duck and cover all at once. Seeing that Kate wasn't alone in enters Sally looking all cheerful without knowing the real danger happening and in her arms was Doll itself controlling it all with Sally's help, seeing that Sally was wanting to meet with Kate in person for a long time.

"Hello, Kate Jones. I've been waiting for you to play with and today I found you, please to meet you."

"Who are you?"

"Oh! Where are my matters? My name is Sally; I go by the nickname the Walking Doll and this is my best friend Doll. Say hello, Doll."

Sally leads next to Doll for only she can understand her since she has some psychic powers.

"Doll sad hello to you, Kate. Welcome to our home of Toy World the two of us made together."

Kate sees Sally just being an innocent kid with a demon in her hands knowing its dangerous seeing she's pulling the strings on a human being.

"What's going on here?"

Sally being her sweet old self around Kate not knowing the danger she was really in, one innocent girl, and all the children have gotten themselves into. Outside of it back in the human world, Patty was walking 'or rushing' all the way to the Devil May Cry place to have a word with Dante after a little bet he made for her after losing another game of cards and owing her ice cream but never did yet, until now she will. Joining her is Hopper, Jenny who's trying to calm her friend down, same with Billy, and Lully feels silly that she's seeing it all happen to her friend.

"Come on, Patty, let's talk about this first."

"No, Billy!"

"But, Patty…"

"Billy's right, Patty, this is all a waste of time to be doing."

"Look! You guys don't know Dante as much as I do! He always does this to me; ask me to wait for a while to owe me back for ice cream over a deck of card he sucks at. And what do I get from him in return!? Lying to a pretty girl like myself in keeping a promise to me, makes me mad."

Jenny and Billy stopped and look at each other seeing that Patty always acts like this.

"Oh, Patty."

"Tell me about it but that's Patty Lowell for you."

"What do you see in her since you two are together?"

"She's nice really and brave, we're happy as a couple really."

"I see."

The five arrive to the place with Hopper jumping from wall to wall and then on to Patty's shoulder like a normal cat does with a person it loves. She pats him seeing how she does this so many times with Dante owing her many, she still cares. She begins to knock on the door with both her hands many times until Dante or Kate answers it.

"Dante! Dante, it's me and you and I are getting ice cream! I know you're home so open up! Kate, make him open up! Or so help me!"

With Patty just knocking away, Lully walks up to the door to see it was half open and not locked. She slowly opens the door for her and the others to go inside and trying to tell Patty to stop knocking at nothing like crazy.

"Ah, Patty? Sorry to disturb you but the door has been open for some time now. We can let ourselves in."

Patty stops after what Lully told her making her feel a bit silly.

"Oh… I see. Very well then."

When all five came inside the place and see no one was home, neither Kate nor Dante also it was clean 'for once for Patty to have a bit of a break' and unpacking was all done. Still something wasn't right as Hopper smells around the room finding some clues.

"Okay? I know Dante's out but it's unlike for Kate to leave without him around."

"Didn't you say they were home all day?"

"Yes, Jenny, during their mission their doing."

Lully got confused for her brother to explain to her.

"Brother?"

"It might have something to do with the missing children's case of a demon capturing them somewhere unknown. But knowing those two, they'll save them and stop the monster in time."

"I sure hope those poor kids are okay."

Patty had no worries with Dante and Kate on their side.

"Lully, we're safe so will they when those two love birds make their rescue move. Just you wait and see."

After what Patty said to Lully it made her smile. That conversation ended quickly when Hopper was growling at something he found for Patty, Jenny, Billy, and Lully went over to see it of the strange doll house on the floor for Hopper senses something evil from it.

"Hopper, what's wrong?"

"I think he's hissing at this doll house."

"Doll house? Since when those two had a kiddy toys?"

"But we use to play it when we were little, Patty."

"Yes I know, still… Why is Hopper freaking out over this thing? I don't see anything bad from it."

Hopper kept on growling at the doll house set, soon both Billy and Lully sense the danger from it for two long shadow arms comes sticking out to grab all four of the children to trap in like the rest for the siblings to warn the girls in time.

"Jenny! Patty! Get back!"

Before those arms grab hold of the two girls, Billy cuts one of the arms off to disappear like smoke, with the other one Lully shields Patty, Jenny, and Hopper in time as long as she could see it was strong with the other recovering back to normal to drag Billy instead. While Lully's wind-like shield was up the girls and Hoppers hold him without letting go.

"Brother!"

"Don't let me go, Patty!"

"What is that thing!?"

"It a demon alright looking like a child's play toy holding some other world inside the thing! It isn't friendly and won't stop until all of us are in that hole! That's what Hopper was sensing and so were Lully and I!"

"This is crazy!"

"Just keep on pulling! I'm losing my boyfriend to some shadow demon thingy!"

With the three having a tug-a-war on the Doll demon saving Billy and Lully shielding them, Dante comes back only to see the mess happening at this place like a powerful wind pulling anything and/or anyone into one item that was really strong.

"A storm at my place!? Patty, what the hell's going on!?"

"Dante! Do something, help us!"

Dante quickly grabs the Cerberus node chugs, jumps over the desk, rush to Billy's side to save him as he uses another of his Alpha-O-Lite wind attacks, and allowing Dante to freeze it up which work as it was screaming in pain and retreats back inside the doll house. Now covering it with black-like clouds all over. Lully removes the shield to hug her brother happy to see him unharmed.

"Brother, you're okay!"

"I'm fine, Lully."

After that and the powerful wind gone, Dante fix a few things with Patty doing the rest knowing she'll make him do it he wanted answers on what just happened.

"Patty, what are you doing here now?"

"You owe me ice cream after our game and I'll make sure you do that today."

Hopper made a cute noise at Dante telling him that Patty's right a deal's a deal.

"And what are the others doing with you?"

Jenny tries explaining to Dante calming and very shy speaking to others.

"Well, we try talking her out of it, but no luck you see."

"I see… What about the demon, where did it come from?"

Both Billy and Lully explain that to Dante better.

"Hopper smell something weird coming from a doll house that came in the house that was a demon inside almost try to kill us. Also we thought Kate was home while waiting for you."

"Isn't that what she does when you go out or you two? This children's toy set isn't something you two aren't in for we can tell."

"This thing? Nah, I gave away my old things long ago. But you do have a point what's it doing here and where is Kate?"

"Dante…"

Patty wasn't too happy with Dante thinking he ditched Kate.

"Give me a break! I went out to talk to Jason to clean his act up knowing you, your Mom, Morrison, or those two Grandpa guardian cop would tell me the same thing. Then I came back and this mess had to happen, Kate was cleaning up on her own to her new room and now she's missing without telling me which she wouldn't do that."

"Oh, you do make a good point."

That only leaves to one thing seeing that a doll house got in, Kate was home, brought it in, and was capture. Meaning that Dante has found the missing children too of the demon reasonable at the Devil May Cry building itself.

"Wait, you don't think Kate's in there do you?"

"And it's the same demon kidnapping the children in our home town?"

Dante looks on the floor for Hopper to show him that he found something. From Kate's torn off short black dress and her favorite unicorn doll near the doll house.

"You two kiddies are right. She's in there and the rest, though this thing's clever to make Kate bring it in here."

That surprise Patty, Jenny, Billy, and Lully for they back away from the object in case it tries swallowing them up again.

"You're kidding us, right?"

"Afraid not."

"Oh, man…"

Jenny wasn't too happy to hear.

"Why would a demon want to kidnap Kate!? She's only 19!"

Jenny tries to calm down same with Patty too, soon remembering where she heard about all the things between missing children and a demon in some odd world or a type of fun land really being a nightmare put together. As if she has heard all about it from a folk tale/history.

"Wait… I heard something about this create before…"

"Jenny?"

Patty, Billy, Lully, Hopper, and Dante gather near Jenny to listen in.

"It reminds me here of Pandora's Box."

"You mean about the Gods tricking a woman to open an item releasing demons all over to cause chaos and she was stuck with it for centuries? In the end we all feel bad for the woman in Greek for a sad story."

Dante made a point to everyone where Jenny tells the real thing about the mess.

"That something like that but this one's different. There was a little girl in a nice village that was friendly and peaceful place; however they were freaking out over witchcraft thinking it was real back then and accuse one girl to be one but really had a special gift in making dolls in a young age like her mother's side of the family, and everyone thinks she was making some voodoo dolls only to make many for every children to have it to play with and this girl never hurt anyone not even a fly. That's when that night all the people gather together to capture all three in the family to do horrible things to them knowing that none of them were witches to begin with. The mother hung by the tree, the father stone to death, and drowns the poor girl with weights in the river for the body was below the bottom forever rotting leaving their homes burned down with the dolls. So sad that had to happen to them but only one doll to remain for one child to have and felt sorry for the girl rumors saying that the kid prayed really hard for the girl to be brought back to life in exchange for their soul which they did. Only to make the girl to rise from beyond the grave again to let her broken heart to become shallow and turn to an wondering evil spirit to possess a doll and use its powers to get revenge on the village by burning them all up and kidnapping every children all over the village. With nothing left but aches all over. So as the years went by they say that the spirit wonders to capture all the children by using one with a special gift to become powerful keeping the children for their powers to drain and play forever in some weird dimension of its powers it can control, it must to stay alive because the girl was alone with no friends but one. It uses a boy or a girl to mind controlled them to be miserable to become powerful for the two to become one. I mean it explains everything in front of you. A demons' shadow that enters in a child's mind and their favorite toys to gather other children together to devour their souls. Only by fooling the host in thinking that no one likes them in its mind tricks, making them sad and upset, then using the Dilly Demon's chest to trap them with many illusions, and repeating the same thing over and over again."

Dante and the others were amazed that Jenny learned so much about that after reading about it.

"Wow…"

"That was so cool how you figure it all out, Jenny."

"Well, yeah you know…"

Dante looks at the box with the others trying to tell him to watch himself from it.

"Hey, be careful."

"I got it covered, buddy. So, Jenny, is it?"

"Yes?"

"You're telling me that the demon from your stories is alive still doing the same old thing? Hiding in a doll like a cheap pussy, has those rascals tired and scared wanting to go home, my girl, and an innocent person in this here toy chest?"

"Well, yes. This one might be young the demon's using with ESP that's how it gets powerful from body to body to use them and their powers over centuries."

Patty whacks Dante on the back to correct him on his mistake he said.

"Dante! That thing's a doll house that's evil not a toy chest!"

"I see… In that case…"

Dante puts on his jacket, grab his two guns, his sword, and Cerberus to use on a rescue mission and saving lives.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll tell you what he's doing, Jenny, bailing on me again! Only to get himself killed!"

Billy calms his girlfriend down.

"But, Patty, it's more important to do than ice cream."

"With others to save, the host, and Kate too."

"I know that."

"But he'll get hurt, won't he?"

"I been through worse and no creepy kid's world that's haunted won't scare me. So you guys stay put while I'm gone. Also don't let that thing outside until I return back with everyone with me, besides can't destroy the beast unless you kill it from the inside out by getting its heart."

Billy and Lully have a job to do and protect the girls this time.

"You can count on us then!"

"We won't let you down, Dante!"

Patty wishes Dante good luck too.

"And try not to die in there I guess."

Dante kicks hard on the doll house to get the hole of the portal to open and allowing him to slip right inside, while tying himself around the waist with a rope to something so he won't get lost. With everyone didn't think doing that wouldn't be so easy to do but not for Dante.

"What? Give it good kick in the right spot always works for me, you kids wouldn't understand until you're all old enough. This time try to keep the place looking nice I'll be back with everyone and Kate too!"

Dante runs right into the portal of the doll house where the demon, Sally, Kate, and all the children are with so many things waiting for him as he goes while screaming out load having a good time and still tied up so he won't lose his way. Leaves only Patty, Jenny, Hopper, Billy, and Lully in charge until it's all over and that no demon will come out of the building alive. Lully puts up a handmade barrier and they stand guarded and Hopper keeping his guard up too.

"Ah, Patty, should we…?"

"Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all. If Dante said he'll be back to save the world and getting Kate out of this mess, then so be it. He never goes back on his word that's for sure so we'll wait."

Jenny hopes that Patty, Billy, and Lully are right about that. As Dante awaits for his landing deep within the weird world of the Doll Demon 'with Sally's powers mix in with it' like falling from the skies down below the ground, Kate sees the all the poor scared children crying, asking to themselves where they were, hiding in the corner, wanting to go home, and scared in being in the place like this. Sally and Doll use their magic together to give the kids more toys for them to play with many of them falling down gently to the ground but they ignore them and still being afraid not wanting to do anything and Kate knows it. Right now the only thing on Sally's mind is her new friend she caught.

"Look at this, Doll. And you too, Kate. Look at all the many friends we have to play with forever. A whole new world of fun just for me and Kate Jones sitting next to me."

Sally listens closely to Doll talking to her.

"Yeah, they will all play with the toys when they get bored."

Sally smiles after that then turns her attention to Kate.

"Hi."

"Sally, I don't understand what's going on. What's happening?"

"Oh… No worries, nothing bad happen not with Doll and me around. You and the others are safe in our world, Toy World that is. Made it myself with Doll's help, well she did all the work."

"She?"

"Yes."

Sally shows Kate Doll to sense a dark oar all over the item with a dark demon inside.

"Aw, she likes you."

"I see… Sally, are you the one with all the children going missing?"

"Not missing, just aiding them to come to my play day and their new home to live in. I lost my family for they weren't very nice and I didn't have a nice life all alone. So I thought by saving others like me to live forever, happy, and all the toys to play with on how Doll makes it, it's a dream come true. If it wasn't for Doll showing me the way and helping me, I would be so sad forever so here we are now."

"Yeah, but they don't look too happy…"

"Doll said they're full of energy to tire themselves out is funny, they'll play later on. It's a free world with lots of timing like me. I was born with ESP to understand spirits and move objects while Doll does her magic tricks. We're a team, watch this."

Sally puts Doll down to show Kate her powers by moving many toys all around the room like a flying airplane as a group in a line. Making the children watching it scared still.

"See?"

"Oh, and you kidnapping me with the others because…?"

"Ha, you're funny, Kate! Not kidnapping you, I saved you in the bad world to a better one. Here, all right here."

"What?"

Sally laughs while using her powers on Kate to make her float in mid air without dropping her, but she was freaking out.

"I heard so much about you, a real angel you are with powers like mine. After hearing you saving lives from the gross slime monsters to the wild animals going nuts, that is when I found Doll. You see she and I are a lot alike. She saved other kids to have a good life in their world and I am too. Sadly though, I wish I could have met them all in person. Oh, well I'll make them proud by having fun today."

"So you're like a fan I have, cute."

"Well, you don't have a Mommy anymore and your Daddy's a meanie so that's why I save you. Here with me in this world, we'll become sisters you and I."

"Say what?"

Sally gently drops Kate down 'still tie up but differently' to sit next to her and hugging her.

"That's right; we'll be living here, all of us here and saving all the poor children all over. It'll be fun."

"Yeah… But, Sally…!"

"It's all good I'll protect you always, Kate."

Kate wanted to tell Sally the real thing happening for this was wrong because of Doll using her and hurting the children, but was afraid to tell her for she didn't want to hurt Sally's feelings and also Doll can kill anyone within seconds. Just as she was about to say something, Kate senses Doll's eyes were glowing also her dark powers surrounding the space for trouble has come to her territory and makes up something to help her get rid of the introducer being Dante as he arrives to the place and lands on his feet and walking normally.

"I see, Doll, you're right. There's someone in our home who's very dangerous to hurt us."

Sally makes a window showing on what was happening on the other side, for Kate was happy to see Dante and Doll messes with Sally's mind to trick her thinking Dante's an enemy.

"A bad man being like us but a monster underneath. Can't let him destroy our home right, Doll?"

"Dante…"

Doll talks to Sally saying to her that Kate knows Dante.

"Dante? So, Kate, you know this man?"

"Look, Sally, I know it's hard for you to understand but your life is in grave danger and Dante's on our side. The children in here are scared and want to go home because that thing in your arms is really a demon not your doll, she's using you I can sense it. I do have Angel powers, a half breed and last one so please listen to me."

Sally didn't like on what Kate was saying to her as Doll helps her on what she said by using their powers put together as a warning by moving her with both their eyes glowing.

"Sally…?"

"No! Doll's not evil! Kate, be a good angel in here and be nice!"

"And I'm telling you-!"

Sally and Doll move Kate's body up in the air starting to stretch both of her legs and arms which was slowly pulling her in pain feeling like it was about to be ripped off.

"Sally! Wait…"

Sally finds it to be fun but won't hurt her best friend so she does other things to Kate like a puppet one moment at a time.

"Funny! Again!"

Sally moves Kate's arms around, to kicking her legs back and forth, pushing her from wall to wall to feel like she was jumping fast, spinning her in circle to make her feel sick almost, and kept getting pinch one spot after another from Doll doing it at Kate so many times. That made Kate very tired after all of that allowing Sally to release Kate after teaching her a lesson with Doll's help which she found all that to be funny to watch.

"You're right, Doll, she learned her lesson. We played with Kate never to hurt my friend so true."

"What the hell just happen!?"

"Nothing, Doll and I work together to make you go flying, fun huh?"

"I could have died!"

Sally hugs Kate that she'll never get mad at her.

"I'm sorry, Kate. Please don't be mad. But you have to remember Doll is my friend and she's not evil, she's helping me."

"She? That thing? That's what worries me."

"It's okay, Doll never betrays me. We're a team."

Kate couldn't stop worrying about Doll doing these terrible things to one child and she feels sorry for her and all the other children. To make things worse Dante was coming to rescue but for what dangers lay ahead for him inside? Dante walks through the deep hallways getting long and long but he knows it's an illusion and runs to the door to break many of them down until one was left with a button to be press with a picture of an art with a smiling face on it of a skeleton also a sign. Saying 'once you enter this door, don't except to never come back for more'. Dante finds the whole thing a joke for he wasn't afraid of anything.

"Ha! Seriously!? Don't except to never come back for more? More of what? I'm not going from a stupid warning sign, I'm coming in!"

Dante not caring punches the bottom. Making the lights go on and off everywhere and the picture making as sound effect noise of a mad person laughing hysterically. The room changes like sand coming out of the floors for he was in the room of the sad and many scared children with Dante remembering their faces and names for those that have gone missing he has found the prize, just before he could go anywhere the children all duck and cover sagain thinking he's another toy made by Doll but wasn't.

"Well, well, found them."

Dante can also senses Kate in some other room with the demon behind it all, before he could go there he tries calming everyone down the best way he could.

"Hey! I'm not here to hurt you, I'm your hero to save you from the bad Boogey Man. Dante's the name and hunting demons is my game."

Dante does his Cerberus triple chuck moves really fast for some of them seeing another person on their side about to be free and go back home. But corner themselves again for a big screen TV pops us in front of Dante for another cartoon show on featuring Looney Tunes with Daffy Duck in the short episode 'Book Revue'. It shows him talking while wearing a weird costume.

"Daffy Duck? Aren't you guys suppose to like these things? I did back then."

That's where the scene shows Daffy saying something out loud with the volume all the way out, from both Doll and Sally's doing it all as a joke to them and for him too.

"CUCARA-CHA!"

That really blew Dante's ears to really hurt him and the other kids to cover their ears with their hands in time.

"Ah! What the hell!?"

Dante wasn't too happy about it with the character to do crazy singing and dancing afterwards showing that Doll's mocking him as a message.

"Cucaracha, cucaracha - hoo hoo hoo hoo! Cucaracha, cucaracha - hoohoohoohoo!"

Dante shoots the big TV into piece for good.

"Shut up!"

Doll tells Sally be careful not to mess with Dante.

"I see, Doll, this man's a half monster and human. An enemy and he must die."

"Sally, wait!"

"Don't worry, Kate, he won't take you away from me. Dolly and I will protect you. So let's give him neat and greet before death, shall we?"

Sally uses her ESP with Doll's eye glowing for the real fun to happen.

"Dante, be careful."

Kate hopes for Dante to be alright from the demon controlling the place and poor Sally. For more toys, Claymation people, block ones, drawings, slimes, puppets, dolls, action figures, and cartoons all walked out from different doors to show themselves in front of Dante. All the children hide behind him thinking they'll hurt or scared them knowing that Dante has a search to do, a weird Barbie-like doll lady 'with her eyes hanging in and out' aids Dante to give him the detour with so fun and music before killing him.

"Hello, handsome! Name's Debra, and welcome to Toy World. If you wish to see the boss you must race yourself to the top."

Dante can sense Kate was up there and the demon already.

"And by doing this I can talk to this boss of yours?"

"Yes! If you live, you'll get a prize and fighting the boss herself, doesn't that sound fun? But if you get murder before you reach the top, it's sad to say that it'll be the end for you there. So are you in?"

With Debra smiling and her eyes repeating over and over 'are you in' and others too with many mouths and lips were popping out of the walls echoing non-stop until he answered to them.

"I'm in for Kate and these kids' freedom."

"Goodie! If you win that is."

"Whatever, can I go now?"

"Just follow the Light Bright roads leading you the way and good luck, mister."

Debra and her eye balls fall into he rabbit hole for the rest was up to Dante while seeing other strange things happening on the way up. The entire children did was standing and watching him for they were amazed by him already as their favorite super hero for Dante goes in with all three in a half of his weapons set while smiling at all of them and saying everything will be okay.

"Aright, kiddies, stay put. I'll end this quickly and get the hell out all of us. So later!"

Dante follows the stairs of build and bright up Light Bright path to face few things on the way to Doll's up top. For she tells Sally the news.

"Alright then, Doll, I'm on it. Time to play, you guys, go get him."

With the help of Sally's ESP powers to use three dolls to block Dante, Doll uses her dark magic to make those three toys into demon and coming to life in three rooms that Dante has to pass to get to them as they go do their jobs in killing him while the music was playing all over from 'Kesha – We are Who we are'.

"Show time! Let's watch, Kate."

"Dante!"

"You don't need him, you got me now."

Sally hugs Kate giggling.

"Sally, just watch to see how strong Dante is against your set of toys."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just watch."

The girls watch on the big screen and Doll does the rest of the work by controlling three different toys each waiting in three rooms for Dante to enter. The first room 'which each door shows the numbers from 1, 2, and 3' Dante kicks it open and steps in something very sticky and felt like an animal that was really silly putty mix with clay and playdo'h into some type of weird looking being all over the room for Dante to make it across without sinking. Dante tries walking slowly one step at a time, however something falls on the floor in front of him a rubber ducky making strange quack noises, Dante gets a better look at it by picking it up.

"What's so scary about you?"

It became heavier and heavier for Dante couldn't hold it for much longer and lets go. For the rubber ducky became bigger like a tank, had evil in its eyes staring at him, sharp teeth, and has six wheels of a monster truck while making the noises still ready to run over him and the wheels burning with real rubber on the floor. Soon Dante finds out it has arms popping out trying to drag him inside the goo but gets out in time like quick sand, with many zombie-like faces coming from it like they're people suffering in it. In this room it was either death by road kill or swallow whole from the clay monster on the floor. With the duck having no problem driving fast or tackling him hard so he had to play it smart.

"One duck, duck, goose game coming up! Just so you know I'm a pro at this so get ready, Donald Duck."

Dante jumps from wall to wall 'without touching the ground of the clay monster' also trying to pick which spot to hit the duck while watching his every move carefully and ready to attack again.

"Duck… Duck…Duck… I can go all day you know! Duck… Duck… Duck… Duck…"

Without the duck knowing, Dante sneaks up from behind without it knowing, using his sword to stab it right in the duck's behind of the wooden tale, it cries in pain, and turns around in rage. Ready to do whatever it takes to kill Dante within the room 'with the sword still sticking out' and he begins out running it after knocking on it head to make it look like a fool.

"Goose!"

The duck drives really fast to run over Dante while attacking him with his sharp beak all over the room until Dante freezing a few wheels with Cerberus, and destroying the rest with his guns unable to go anywhere. Trapping the duck in the clay pit for all of them to absorb it for good as Dante gets his sword back allowing him to walk to the next room unharmed. For the duck try to get out it was too heavy to move for all the clay-like zombie people drag it inside forever trapped.

"Told you I was good at the game. Although it was despicable."

Dante moves into the next room of the path of the bright lights glowing on the ground stairs. While Doll gets the next toy to do the job, Sally sits next to Kate to keep her company and enjoying the show all the way through.

"Wow, this is fun watching. Get him, Doll."

Without Sally or Doll knowing, Kate uses her powers to untie herself slowly and quietly.

"I guess you were right, Kate, about this man that is. The question is how far will he make it through?"

"He'll win."

"Come again?"

Kate stops untying herself and acting like she couldn't break free for Sally not noticing a thing from her.

"I said I told you so. Also this whole place feels like perverted Pee-Wee's Play House mix with Tim Burton's copyright works combined."

Sally got confused there.

"Never mind. One day when you're grown up I'll tell you all about it."

"Goodie."

The next room shows the door number 2 below Dante where he was standing on. But before he could move out of the way, the hatch of the door opens and drops him in the other room with the lights on all over it was a room of Mega blocks all stacked up as a tower-like step he was on that one wrong move can make it go falling down with no end or ground down below so he tries to stay calm. At the same time get through the other door on the other side while avoiding a cube-like giant shape cobra ready to eat his victim and sounding like a dragon. For its giant body can destroy many block towers surrounding Dante to fall to his doom.

"Say cheese!"

Dante tries freezing it but the snake jumps high and comes crashing down to destroy the first set of towers to crumble for Dante to dodge from. It was closing in with no gun shots taking it down or Dante slicing at the beast to cut for its whole body was strong to only bend not to break, so he tries out running it to the finish line.

"I so don't have time for this. Can't catch me!"

Dante jumps from one block after another with the snake following him for each one falls down, while figuring out how to destroy it. He jumps from platform after another for some to lean on still until finally he tangles the beast from tying itself up with its own body like a huge rope nodded unable to untie and couldn't break free from the platforms; allowing Dante to jump kick the rest down in order like dominos really fast until it got to the snake and pushing it all the way down with the rest without getting out of the mess alive.

"Wow… That's one way to skin a snake."

Dante jumps to one more platforms to the door and the next room up top to be in until he reaches to Kate.

"Alright, Dante!"

Doll wasn't too happy about this mess happening. As it tells Sally that the next one must be for real this time.

"I know, Doll, we'll get him. It's time for a hanging man game with the robot toy of ours!"

"Hang man?"

"Yes, but our version's much more fun. Watch and see."

Dante goes through the curtains showing the number three on there for he shows all over the room making sure there were no traps. It was all clear to go in seeing a giant toy robot with huge fist-like boxing gloves ready to fight but in a hand to hand combat more like a test in skills; the robot points to Dante on the big screen above them showing a game on hanging man like everyone plays it normally but don't get any words right and by the time the drawing of the hanging man has been made you not only lose but get beheaded as Doll shows him how it was done by using its sword hands to cut a Raggedy Andy's head of a doll right off in seconds. Showing that the game will be serious.

"So it's like that. I got to play your game so I won't lose my head, right? Bring it, I felt almost sorry for Andy boy there after his execution."

The screen shows the hang man drawing on the screen with only three letter 'r' words in some parts and gave Dante a hint that it has something to do with the robot of a toy theme.

"This is more of Kate's doing, but I'll give it a shot. It's a toy model, made by Hasbro, and has something to do with you hunk a junk. Let's go!"

Kate thinks about Dante was being serious on this.

"Dante! Just play the game to save us!"

The game starts. Dante guess a few words and got wrong for a few drawings to be made and the robot got one wrong, until it showed on letter a 't' and a 'm' were both put down. With only four drawing lines down Dante tries to think hard he got one word a 'e' to go in with the robot getting three more wrong on its end. So Dante was winning so far which he finally figures the word out to solve the puzzle on his own too for it was only one chance to say it right or one mistake will be off with his head.

"I got it; I know the word. Final answer!"

The robot listens knowing it never loses at the game along with Doll, Sally, and Kate too.

"I doubt it."

"Don't be so sure."

"What do you mean, Kate?"

"Dante can be a bit crazy but that's how he is for a nice guy also he isn't stupid as he looks. The word is too easy to guess even for him."

"You know it too?"

Dante has the grin on his face and says the word out loud.

"Its TRANSFORMERS."

The board completes the spaces for he won leaving the robot to be beheaded and shutdown for good allowing Dante to go to the final goal where Doll was at leaving Sally surprise and Kate knew that he'll make it up alive.

"I'm coming, toy master. Go, go, gadget exit!"

Dante laughs and makes his way out with Doll being upset to tell Sally to get ready to fight him, she wasn't too happy about this either to lose her new friend Kate or the other kids, not now or ever.

"Oh, no, Doll! He's coming! We're next!"

Kate laughs with Doll's aura rising all over the room and near her.

"See? Dante will save us and me too, Sally, you'll understand after he stops Doll there from using you."

"No she isn't! She's my best friend and only wants me to have a wonderful life! That man's only jealous to take you and everyone in here away and if you go then you'll never see me again!"

"Of course I will! It's the demon in that doll of yours! It's evil!"

Sally gets angry for Doll reaches her arms out to give Sally a push to keep Kate from talking badly about her world.

"Stop it!"

Kate was thrown to the wall hard at the same time kept on untying herself quietly.

"Kate, I'm so sorry! Doll, I said to help her not hurt her badly! Be more careful next time now let's go get ready to stop that bad man. Again, Kate, I'm sorry about that."

Kate tries talking to Sally to save her before it was too late.

"Sally! Don't do this, you're making a mistake! Listen to me please!"

Sally wanted to listen on what Kate had to say to her but Doll forces her not to.

"Sorry, Kate, but Doll says we have to protect our home from unwelcome strangers. It'll be over soon."

Kate rushes quickly on her powers to break free and fast, she doesn't want to see another child growing up like she did and knows that Sally can still listen to reason. From all the way upstairs Dante can sense the demon Doll and Kate in the room right in front of him in the door, before he could go in Debra and her weird looking lively eye balls had one more thing to say to him after completing his goal in making it to the final round already.

"Hello, handsome!"

Dante shoots twice at Debra's head after popping in front of him like that.

"Ouch! That hurt you know."

"Next time don't sneak up on me! What do you want now!? I got to the boss to fight with here."

"Oh… Nothing. Just want to say congratulations on making it this far because no one did and died. Until now, so the rest you're on your own, you must beat the big boss herself in order to save the lives of humans in return as promise. Defeat her and try saving the host to destroy this world if you can."

"And I will too."

Dante shows Debra and her eyes all of his weapons set to go under his jacket.

"I'm all good so you don't mind…"

"I see. Well, good-bye Nice knowing you."

Debra and the eyes jump into the rabbit hole that popped up out of nowhere and make their leave as for Dante makes his way through for the big door opens on its own 'from Doll's doing for Dante to sense and smell all the way in the next room' and walks in it for once he made it the door closes up tightly. In one room where a huge window was up to see all the scared children trapped back down stairs, the place looks like a big room office with many cute things and toys with freaky evil looks all over their faces ready to kill. An illusion all along to fool with one innocent girl that Dante's well aware of. Also Kate manages to free herself and slowly sneaks behind Sally and Doll are standing to where Dante was there to stop her in time.

"Hey, Kate, I came to pick you up! And for you, kid, be a good girl and hand over your doll. It's too dangerous for someone like you to handle alone."

Dante jumps away from Doll's sharp claws before she could try cutting him in half, with only the floors all mess up now.

"Hey! That wasn't very nice!"

Dante sees Doll floating in mid air with Sally's help and her doing all of the fighting because of it but for poor Sally finds it all fun without knowing the real danger.

"So sorry, mister. But you see Doll has to get rid of you, I can't let you take my best friend in the whole wide world away or the others. I think it isn't nice on what you're doing."

"I see… What Jenny said was true, that's the demon being a dumb doll to use children with a special hidden gift to become powerful, for many centuries now, right?"

"No she isn't a monster!"

"But it's true unless I stop it from happening to you next."

"Stop calling Doll that!"

"Open your eyes and see the truth!"

"It's your fault for making Kate into your puppet!"

"I save lives and we got a lot in common, I only kill bad demon like that toy in dress up!"

"Liar!"

Sally's anger mix with her ESP makes a powerful wind to blow Dante hard but bounces back up while trying to shoot down or freezing the demon up, but so fast with her long shadow arms dodges it all and shields herself in time.

"Bull crap! You think I'm lying here!?"

"Give it to him, Doll."

Sally aids Doll by making powerful lighting shooting out all over the place for Dante to avoid many times and can't even get near Doll at all as he tries cutting it away with his sword to make a powerful-like ore of it until one makes him trip and the other to shock him hard to be stun all over for seconds. Kate tries to move in a bit closer to stop Sally in time without her or Doll looking for Sally's the key in making the child stronger. Soon Sally stretches out Dante like it happen to Kate earlier 'for she feels worse was about to come next' for Doll to have a little fun with him before the kill from a broken toy she broke into piece with her bare hands she tickles him as long as she could on Dante.

Sally was seeing this all to be funny for Dante was laughing so hard, allowing Kate to grab Sally from behind and not letting her go making her drop Doll down on the floor 'for she was nothing without a human host to be a broken shell'. No matter what Sally did, her powers didn't work on Kate for she was still standing to save her life also for Dante to be release but was laughing over something else. He wasn't laughing from being tickled at all.

"Stop it, Sally! Stops this now!"

"Ah! Kate!?"

Doll tries calling to Sally to pick her up quickly but she couldn't break free from Kate's grip.

"Doll! Kate, let go of me! Doll's in trouble!"

The three see Dante getting back up on his feet with Doll not doing anything for him to grab hold of and squeeze it many times and still laughing on his own.

"Dante, you came. You had me worried."

"Sorry, babe, I did show up at the end, didn't I? And this dolly's going bye-bye."

Kate was confused.

"Wait, I thought that demon was tickling you to death. So why are you still laughing? What's so funny?"

"Oh. That doesn't make me laugh, makes me bored. Hearing jokes coming from me and seeing funny things make me laugh. I just remembered Billy's first boner when he tried asking Patty to be his girlfriend."

Dante tried holding it in but couldn't. After remembering and mentioning it made him laugh really hard again and Kate couldn't help but to find that funny knowing that Dante laughs at other weird things.

"You're something else, you know that?"

"Yeah, but you like it."

The two stared at each other seeing how a big mess they each turned out from Dante cover with silly putty and Kate dress up weirdly.

"Dante? Why are you covered in slime?"

"And why are you dress up like a hooker?"

"Don't ask."

Kate grabs hold of long curtains from the walls to rip in half and make herself a better looking outfit that fits her well for the time being like a long dress. With Sally trying to grab Doll back out of Dante's hands.

"Wait, Dante, don't hurt her."

"I won't, she's being a bit clinging right now."

"Give it back, you jerk! Doll needs me! I won't let you take our home away or Kate either!"

Kate got angry so she walks up to Sally to talk some sense into her in order to see the truth with her own eyes, so she grabs hold of her arm.

"Kate, tell this man to stop-!"

Kate slaps Sally in the face.

"Sally, that's enough!"

Kate drags her to the window showing everything to Sally for the truth and all the children not having fun to begin with, they wanted to all go home, being with their families again, and Doll was taking it all away to hurt them without Sally knowing leaving Doll to become weaker just watching and hearing it happened.

"Look around you! This whole world made for you, Doll's using you! She's demon draining and killing others like yourself with powers for only her to become stronger and making all the kids being capture to die in this area made up tricks and illusions until there's nothing left for the demon to do it for a long time unless Dante and I stop it, we hunt demons to save lives the bad ones! Those kids just want to go back home to have a wonderful life with their parents, play, and do what other kids do! They never wanted to be here by force to begin with, I didn't have a good childhood either but I can still change that for you to have a new and loving family than your old ones! But here you only want me and the people you don't know to yourself for Doll to destroy you from the inside out later on, she's using you! And how can I be friends with someone who's too sweet and being used by a monster playing mind tricks on you if they don't listen to reason!? You'll die in here, Sally, in the most painful way ever – being alone!"

That triggered something within Sally. After hearing the truth and remembering that the entire thing she was kidnapped and Doll use her to get to her and her powers by kidnapping all the children suffering right now in fear. And because of that she believes in Kate just seeing the horror and the truth before her own eyes, Doll tries talking some sense into her but she fight back for her own powers to cancel the demons for it couldn't break through to her anymore.

"Doll, why? Why do this to me? You lie to me all along, use me."

The connection between the two has expired and Sally cries to Kate to calm her by hugging her knowing she made the right choice in time and will no longer be alone. Making Doll mad to power up and Dante to drop her only to burn his hand since her shell felt like it was on fire goes to her true demon form and not very happy, for she does things her way since she has become stronger.

"No!"

Doll turns from a normal toy into a huge shadow-like ghost demon with sharp teeth, glowing red eye of evil, long arms, sharp claws, a flame-like burning black fire body all over who can fly, and a long body with no feet who can also talk.

"Doll?"

Sally sees the horror of the true Doll and she faints for Dante to catch her.

"I take it that this demon has done this before, it's our mission to stop her, and that's her true form!?"

"Looks that way!"

The demons turns her eyes on the three ready to kill with power electric sparks coming out all over her body as the children hide to safety hoping to be saved.

"You ruined everything! If I can have anyone's powers to use for mine sake, then no one can! Now die!"

"Dante, get Sally to safety and I'll slow this demon down for you to stop! Go!"

"Wait, that's crazy! Kate!"

Kate out runs Doll as she started firing many lighting attacks out of her body and through solid object since she was like a ghost to reach her target easily. For Kate uses her light abilities to destroy them and defend from quickly for Dante was amazed seeing it all as he tries stopping the demon from behind with his sword from behind 'while holding on to Sally resting on his shoulder' to strike. With Kate doing well fighting so far and avoiding another lighting attack it was a trick for Doll to grab hold of Kate with her hands also sends Dante flying after popping out another arm from her body to strike at him of course landed safely on the ground with Sally okay but cut and blood coming out from his other arm; gives Doll a chance to strike back by shocking Kate badly but her powers comes out again with bright light weakening Doll and force to retreat somewhere with darkness and no light for her anger was on Sally's loneliness trying to go after the demon this time.

"Ah! The light! It's so bright for this light! We're not done yet!"

"I'm not done with you either, get back here!"

Doll escape in a different room with Kate too weak to go but trying to fight over from it until Dante stops her back to her normal self.

"Kate, stop! You're too weak to do anything!"

Kate listen to Dante and then passes out right next to Sally for Dante takes them out of the room to find Doll later on for now they hid somewhere safe for a bit. Before he left he walks into a strange object looking like a skull of an animal, but was really an item and not a toy made that was brown, with a long nose, ears-like popping of the back, with eye holes, and Dante can sense it being real; once he touched it he was fully recovered and so was Kate when he drops it by her side as if it was alive and knows a lot from Kate like they met before. But the question was where? And when did it happen? While back in the other world Patty, Lully, Billy, Jenny, and Hopper waited for Dante and Kate's return for it's been almost all day since they left.

"Brother?"

"Yeah, Lully?"

"You think Dante will save the children in the other world?"

"I'm sure he will and save Kate too. It's almost night fall so I can tell they'll be back sooner like they always do."

Lully smiles knowing that if Billy's right about what he said then she feels right just thinking about it.

"You're right."

Patty and Hopper agree with him too.

"Of course he's right, you know your brother well as much as I know Billy as well."

Hopper makes a cute noise to agree with Patty there.

"See? Even Hopper knows it too."

"Oh, Patty."

"Yeah! All will be good like before!"

That made Billy blush after Patty said that he was right about Dante and Kate will be fine and coming back unharmed.

"Well, you know me…"

Back at Toy World Dante found a good spot down below the room a hidden one to hind in with tons of lights on to slow down Doll until he and Kate are fully healed to fight her again and get out with the kids. With the strange item that did all the work for the two of them it was amazing, still Dante didn't see it as part of Doll's making just something that got caught from somewhere else and holds on to it so he'll show it to either Nina, Charles, Morrison, or Jason later on. With Dante healed up thanks to it so was Kate waking up and feeling like she has a bad headache which hurts after getting shocked a lot.

"Ouch!"

"Hey, babe, thought you'll be sleeping forever."

"What do you mean? What just happen?"

"Well, one minute that freaky demon hiding in the doll tries burning you into a crisp and then the next your powers slow it down."

"Again? Wait, you know?"

"Since I have seen your angel powers at work automatically in Mexico yes. Looks like Doll's weakness is on light."

Kate sees what Dante was talking about seeing the tall lamps on all over the room.

"Good against evil I see."

Kate freaks out from remembering that Sally saw the truth after she talk some sense into her and seeing the nightmare.

"Crap! Sally! Where's Sally!?"

Dante rubs Kate's back to calm her down.

"It's all good. Kid's still sleeping like a log."

Kate sees Sally sleeping next to her and not hurt at all.

"Oh, thank God. So how did I heal so fast?"

Dante shows Kate the strange skull head.

"A skull?"

"Not sure myself, it appear out of nowhere trying to escape and it started healing me and I use it on you. I make sure it wasn't life threading so it's good."

It was still a mysterious on what it was and another reason that Dante has to bring it back since it isn't created by Sally or Doll.

"Okay? Well, guess the others will help us out on that."

"As soon as we find a way to stop the demon."

"True. I don't think we can stop it by ourselves, has to be another way…"

"As well as getting all the little trouble makers and getting the hell out. I mean being in a place looks like this whole place feels like perverted Pee-Wee's…"

Kate finishes Dante's sentence because she already knows the rest on what Dante's going to say.

"…Pee-Wee's Play House mixes with Tim Burton's copyright works combined. I know I said that already."

"Hot damn!"

Dante laughs a little.

"Ha, ha. Now grab Sally, we got a demon to kill."

Dante stops Kate in time.

"Hold on, Kate, I just recovered and you too but more to watch out for. So let's talk about this before we do anything."

Kate couldn't go anywhere no matter what Dante does to stop her.

"I don't care! Doll might be going after all those kids next if we don't do something!"

"Fine just stay close to me."

"What about Sally?"

"You protect her while I fight."

"And do nothing!? True, I can't stop this one without my weapon since Aeon crushed it, that doesn't mean I should hide like a coward! I want to fight with you!"

Dante sighed, since Kate made a decision on her own to fight along by Dante's side against demons and their new enemy. This time they'll fight as a team together and not apart with Kate to fight back with no powers one way or another so he allows it under one condition.

"You'll fight, but right now just trust me and stay close."

"I'm not a little girl you know…"

"I know that. I won't treat or over protected to you like your old man does, still he loves you. And I, well you're dating me and living with me for a reason."

"What do you mean?"

Dante hugs Kate as he gets closer to her body for she leans up against the wall cornering her making Kate feel a weird all over her body.

"Dante…? What are you doing?"

"I just don't want you getting hurt again."

"I know, I feel the same from you too."

Dante pulls Kate's arm up gently and pinned to the wall stroking it with his fingers gently making her body feel weird, he then leans in Kate's ear knowing it turns her on also Dante was being serious on what he was saying.

"Please, I don't want you to end up a just a gorgeous memory of mine..."

"Gorgeous memory?"

Dante kept on doing it with Kate leaning on his manly chest and heart beating for her to hear.

"Kate, I'm not going to lose you. You're the only person I let in my life since I don't know when. The first time I felt this way to a real woman. Do you want to know what happens to people in my life?"

The two stared into each other's eyes.

"What?"

"'They die... They either die or they disappear; I don't want you to die... I'd rather you leave me and never look back than to see have you faded away before my eyes."

Dante holds Kate's arm while hugging her in his arms.

"Dante, you know that will never happen. My Mom if I knew her if she was still alive, I wouldn't allow that to happen to her."

"I know... I won't let you. You mean too much."

Dante spins Kate around to hold her from behind. Brushing his hands from her hair, smelling the sweet scent from her, licking her neck, rubbing his hands on her butt and the other on her breast feeling her soft skin.

"If something did happen to you, I wouldn't be happy without you or feeling your sexy body. I wouldn't cheat on any other women, I just want you."

"Dante…? What are you…? Please no more…"

Dante moves the hair out of Kate's face making her blush all over her face and he smiles now they talk things out together for them to stop Doll or she'll try capturing more children or hurting the others.

"Glad we got things settle. Hey, babe, I was serious on the whole thing. The rest will come later on; we got a job to finish."

Kate smiles for she'll try her best aiding Dante 'like she always have been and will get stronger again'.

"You got it."

Before the two went out 'with Doll still recovering and finding them without the bright light', Sally finally wakes up. She remembers thinking about what Kate was trying to say to her about being used by Doll, her friend was really a demon, making her world by using other children with powers and then killing them with other ones in danger. Only to make her cry but harder again after earlier as Kate and Dante sees her in pain but Kate was happy to see her unharmed.

"Look at this, little sleeping beauty wakes up."

"Sally? You okay?"

Sally looks at Kate crying and saying that the mess was all her fault, but she didn't know about it. She was tricked from Doll like every other special child like her. Kate goes up to Sally to hug her, making her feel better.

"Sally…"

"Oh, Kate… I'm so sorry! You were right about everything! I was a big meanie to that man who tried to save us, I almost hurt him, and you, and Doll tricked me! I should have known! She's a monster who hurts others like me; she'll do the same if we don't stop her in time! I hate me now, don't you!?"

Kate smiles for she knew she would reach to Sally in time.

"I don't hate you, Sally."

Sally calms herself from crying any further.

"You're not?"

"Of course not. You did the right thing of realizing it now which means you're safe. Sorry it had to turn out this way, I wish it didn't either."

"Oh, Kate."

The two hugged each other meaning Sally understands now.

"Does that mean when we get out we'll still see each other?"

"Yes, and I promise you I'll find you a good family to take you in with a happier life."

"Then we can play together and be sisters."

"Okay, when I'm not busy."

Sally turns her attention to Dante.

"Sorry I almost hurt you there, mister."

"Its Dante so it's all good, kid, we got your back. But right now how do we get out and stop that mess up puppet?"

"I know how!"

Both Kate and Dante were surprise hearing that from Sally for she knows how to beat Doll and get out of the place.

"You do?"

"Patty's friend said it's the spirit of a young girl who died over nothing and wanted to have more friends or die trying to. So we try setting the spirit free."

"That could work."

"Yes, but she still has powers like me. I have to cast her out, throw her away to weaken her."

It made sense to Kate.

"Right! Without a host the demon's powerless."

"Yes from that and the light. I can make big black holes to go through in and out, so come on we got a bully to stop and save the others."

Sally creates a hole for the three to go in.

"Sally, just stay close to us."

Sally smiles at Kate.

"I know I'll try to."

"Let's go!"

All three went through the hole to find their way to Doll for she heads back in the holdup cell where all the frighten children are and not playing, without that it can't get stronger. Either having fun forever or killing so she was about to murder them all one by one while cutting all the made up lively toys into pieces like Debra and her two eye balls first.

"Oh, hi there, boss. Why isn't Sally with you-?"

Doll slashes Debra in half with her eyes balls devoured into her shadow-like body and with the doll taking a last breath before falling.

"Ouch, that really hurts! That wasn't very nice you know."

All the children saw the horror happening and ran away from the demon before she got to them in a group, while it came floating after them all and still destroying every other toy creation it her way one lighting, her claws, and body after another. Until Doll corners them all with her many hands sticking out and trapping them, making sure she will still become powerful for many centuries and many more for all time; while all the innocent kids cried, covered themselves to be a shield, and very scared waiting to be saved.

"Children, come out and play with me…"

"Stop!"

Sally's screaming stops Doll for what she was about to do as many bullets from Dante and Kate's guns come flying from a hole appearing out of nowhere for Doll's body to become invisible and go right through her like smoke, for all three appeared. Only for Doll to get her weapon back on her side with all the missing children standing clear for the battle about to go down.

"Eh, what's up, doc?"

"Really, Dante?"

"What? This whole screwed up world reminded me more of Looney Tunes when I look at it."

Doll powers up and tries fooling with Sally's mind again.

"Sally… Sally… Together we are strong, make friends and many more…"

"Do it, Sally."

Sally nodded to Kate meaning she'll do her best with Kate and Dante watching her back, she walks up to Doll using her powers to pull her hard like a wet towel to rinse out and pushes her to the ground hard.

"Doll, that's enough."

"Sally…?"

"No! We're not friends anymore! You used me, Kate was right to save my life, she's my real friend while you hurt others for your own time, and you never cared for me to begin with! My life may have been bad but I want to start a new with new friends, a better Mommy and Daddy to have, for others to play and be happy back home with their mommies and daddies, and I want this world to go away like you! After the other girl like me was hurt but never meant to see to be mad, I understand and this mess has to stop! You weren't the Doll I knew, you're a monster!"

After that the bound between Sally and Doll was cut weakening Doll's body like being stabbed in the chest and through the heart because of it she went crazy still with her own powers she still has to use to kill.

"No! I won't live alone again! Never again!"

Doll always attacks Sally, until Kate uses her powers to blast a big one at the demon to weaken it by being burned again.

"You did well, Sally. Dante, you're up! I got your back!"

Dante uses his sword to stab Doll while freezing her up a bit only to get weaker this time. She tries crushing him, but her body started to fade like a smoke being burned out.

"Finally! We get serious here, payback on what you did to those brats and my girl."

The two clash against one another from above and below really fast with all the kids just stop hiding in fear seeing the amazing fight happening and couldn't look away, with the song playing in the background from 'Disturbed-Leave it Alone' fitted well. From every gun shots bounce off many lighting attacks, many Cerberus hits shrinks Doll from being a big shadow being into a small size like a doll size again along with her claws dissolving slowly; and trying to grab hold of Dante with her many arms to squeeze him to death only to throw is Rebellion sword like a boomerang thinking he misses her but got her from the back to break the spell for Dante to punches the demon in the face without going through her body this time. But Doll wasn't going to go down that easily who wanting more blood. And Dante licks his lips with blood on it enjoying the fight, still Kate wishes to help out and Sally knows how after breaking a piece from the stairs of the bright lights and giving it to her.

"Kate, use this on her with your powers."

"What? Bright light pieces?"

Once Kate holds it in her hands, it started to glow differently with her powers mix in like a rainbow.

"What the hell?"

"You have angel power, remember?"

"Well, yes I'm a half breed and last one."

"Well, use it! Put it in your gun and shoot doll! She'll get tired!"

"You may have a point here."

Doll tries to corner Dante in many ways from her long body for him not to get away and making her tail-like ghost like a sword to stab him.

"Ah, come on already! Fight me like a man! Or woman maybe!"

Dante teases Doll from every move she makes he dodges from many hits though he couldn't do that forever. That's when she traps him into a ball from her body until he runs out of air with no way to break out from the inside, not even his weapons couldn't crush her.

"Die, demon-boy! Die! Die! Die!"

Doll stops from sensing a weird item glowing brightly for her to hate because Kate was all powered up to stop the demon and lending Dante a hand. With all the pieces from the bright light turning into bullets 'with Sally's help', Kate places all six into her gun and aims at Doll.

"Hey, Doll!"

"What!?"

"Time for you to rest in pieces!"

Kate fires many rounds to blind and weaken Doll to force to release Dante for he tries catching his breath, with one more glowing bullet hits her in the chest making her unable to breathe and couldn't pull it out because it was burning her body up.

"Do it, Dante!"

Dante tricks Doll in avoiding his Cerberus to freeze the room instead of her body enough to cut open her body like melon for the bullet to shine up with his sword from her head to the stomach hanging out.

"Do me a favor, dolly, and go into the light now."

"Curse you!"

After that slash cutting in half, brightens the bullet inside of Doll until it brightens her whole body to explode for there was nothing left but aches all over. Leaving the lonely soul to rest in peace and flies away for a normal girl can make real friends where she's going since the rotten dark soul's dead leaving nothing left but a dark pearl on the ground.

"Finally, I can make real friends. No longer have the darkness controlling me, farewell, everyone."

The girl soon fades away. Afterwards the children see the nightmare's over and cheered as they ran up to Dante and thanking him for he was their favorite hero now like a cartoon super hero show on TV, only it was real with Dante trying to calm them down.

"Relax already, I don't do autographs."

Sally and Kate hugged each other for they did great in aiding Dante.

"You did it, Kate! We're free!"

"No, Sally, we did it."

The two smiled and walk up to Dante.

"Nice shot, babe, I guess you do great on your job."

"Told you. Say, Sally, sorry about your world and all the toys."

They all see the toys' disappearing since the host was now dead but Sally didn't care about that.

"No, it's alright. Who needs a made up place when I can make real ones?"

Everyone came up to Sally seeing them happy and talking to her asking to her to be their friend. For the girls to be like her and some of the boys having a crush on her making Sally happy than she has ever been before thanks to Kate saving her life; soon the entire dimension world started to shake meaning it was about to be destroyed for good since Doll's long gone and Sally was set free, with no way out so Sally tries making a huge hole for everyone to escape out of.

"Oh, come on! We don't have time for an escape root Indiana Jones game!"

"Dante, this looks serious! We have to get out or we'll be trap here forever!"

"How do we do that!?"

They soon hear singing from a child coming from back outside for Lully sense them and sings making a shield all around the children to be protecting while getting out. Billy tells Patty, Jenny, and Hopper to get back from the doll house for the portal opens up like a huge wind blowing through really hard.

"Lully!"

"I got them and the others are okay! Get back, you guys!"

Patty and Jenny ducked, with Hopper hiding underneath the table; Billy goes up next to his sister to help her pull everyone out with their powers together. With all the kids, Sally, Dante, and Kate well protected, Sally has the portal open to get into and get out of the place.

"I hear singing…"

"Alright! Lully and Billy are helping us out! Thank God for their Alpha-O-Lite abilities! Sally, take us home!"

"You got it, Kate!"

Sally uses her ESP to pull them out in time before everything all over the room crumbles and blocks any entrance or exits once they left for a black hole appears to suck the doll house from the inside out for it was a strong and big one. But not for Lully to shields the people with Billy's powers as backup for all the children made it out of there and back outside unharmed 'for Jason to see and rush over their quickly', and Dante and Kate to be back in their place along with Sally 'and the strange skull-like item' the portal disappears with the doll house for good. With Billy and Lully freeing them the grownups hear noises to see only to see one child running up to his mother's side to be reunited; and soon everyone else with one family after another were all happy to be home and for Sally to see the real world again for her own eyes and Patty and the others are happy to see Kate and Dante back.

"I told you, Jenny, which they would come out fine!"

"But Billy said that."

"I know but it happened!"

Hopper was happy to and Jenny smiled, for Patty comes up to both Kate and Dante hugging them both also both Billy and Lully were happy to help out.

"Looks like we did it."

"Too close, nice job there, Lully."

"Thank you."

Patty knew along that they'll return and stop the demon to save all the missing children.

"Kate! Dante! You guys came back! You did!"

Kate was happy to see Patty too.

"Well of course we did, Patty, just got to make sure that doesn't happen again. Bring a child's toy inside, big mistake on that."

"Lesson learned."

"And you…"

Patty whacks Dante on the head which hurt.

"Ow! Hey, Patty! What the hell was that for!?"

"That's for worrying us and you still owe me ice cream!"

"Still!?"

Sally got confused on what she was seeing.

"Don't worry, Sally, these guys are nice. It happens normally every day."

"I see."

Jason comes rushing inside the Devil May Cry building seeing that all was alright also looks and acting like himself again after being clean up from a nice shower a while ago.

"Kate! I'm sorry, Daddy' here to help you and Dante out-! Ah… Did I miss something?"

Jason sees that all was good. With him staring at Sally for he, the people, Lully, Billy, Patty, Hopper, and Jenny wish to know who she was.

"Dad?"

"Oh, look. Old man finally cleans up his act like I wanted him to."

"Shut up! I decide that for myself thank you very much!"

"Whatever."

"Hey, Kate, who's that girl?"

Sally smiles and waves to Patty and the others.

"Hello."

"Well, here's how it all happened…"

Kate started telling Jason, Patty, Jenny, Hopper, Billy, Lully, and all the adults in town on what happen: from the story of one girl coming back for her spirit angry to capture all the children to devour their souls for a long time like now and using a host like Sally for power in a made up world of kid things but a nightmare, what happen in Sally's sad past, why Kate was involved but saved Sally in time to stop Doll, and Dante saving the day and getting his big payment at the end. Also the kids standing up for Sally saying she wasn't bad just the demon fooling with her mind and for her saying how sorry she was to the grownups many times with them and Kate by her side along with the pearl left from the demon for Jason to give to Morrison later to be hidden away for good, so no one was mad at Sally at all just glad their children were back. And no more demons like that to capture all the kids ever again sense the child now having a good soul can finally rest in peace.

"So now you all know."

Sally bows to everyone showing her forgiveness once more.

"Again, I'm so sorry everyone."

All the grown ups smiled since all of their kids made a friend with Sally, so many to be happy and for the nightmare to be over with.

"It's all good, kid, I got paid and we'll get you a new home too. Any problems, they have to answer with me with charge."

"Thanks, Dante. Thanks so much, you guys."

"Well, Sally, it'll be a better future for you now."

"And what about you?"

Kate sees Jason who's begging for him to talk to his only daughter who he loves.

"Hi, Kate."

"Excuse me, Sally."

"Okay."

She sighed and goes up to him this time.

"Dad, I'm still mad for you not telling me the truth about Mom and treating me like a little girl too much even today."

"I know, I did learn and a reason and I let you live with Dante."

"And…?"

"And I don't care if you're mad at me, just at least let me help you out. I will tell you one day just not yet but when the time's right I will let you know. All of it about the past and so on."

"You will?"

"I may have done bad things for so long, I never lie to my only little girl. A full grown woman or not."

Jason was being serious to Kate and the look in his eyes shows to Kate that he's telling the truth. Dante walks up to Kate wrapping his arms around her waist showing to Jason that he has to keep that promise for real.

"If that's so, I want to be there to listen to whole thing, got it?"

"You sure, Dante?"

"Kate, I won't see you crying again when I'm around."

"Thanks."

Jason sees that those two are strong together so he has to keep his word this time.

"You got it, Dante. I will let you two know when I'm ready. So we're good?"

Kate hugs Jason a little but happy and feeling much better for the two to reunite.

"Whatever, Dad."

Jason has a weird look on his face and hugs Kate to enjoy it while he still can."

"Yeah! We're family again!"

"Ah! Dad! Quit it! Hey!"

Sally laughs seeing that her father was good to her after all and Dante just smiles just seeing it, for Patty wants to do one more things now.

"Who wants ice cream!?"

All the children, Sally, Jenny, Billy, and Lully all wanted some too, but too much for Dante to spend for all the kids.

"Hey! I'm no ice cream man, okay?"

Jason shows his wallet in the air with lots of cash in it after putting Kate down as she fixes her hair.

"Hey, Dante, we'll spend some together. But you pay me for the pizza next time."

"Okay, okay, you got a deal."

All the kids cheered so did the others for they all went to get some ice cream with Dante and Kate tagging along for a strawberry sundae to have and Jason too with Hopper tagging along to eat a vanilla one. With all the grownups with their kids all safe and sound and Doll destroyed it's all back to normal. Back at Lushfel's hide out, he calls upon Terror in his room for a something important to tell her as she comes in.

"Terror, is that you?"

"Yes, I am here, Master. We the Lechers shall prevail in our goal! In the name of Master Lushfel himself! You call for me?"

"Yes I have. I am sensing another Alpha-O-Lite nearby on an island far from us of an Earth element. A boy with a curse power who was once a normal human with a very dark history, the war from angels and shadow demons took place on. An old ruin too from other wars after that, I want you and some of my Lechers to go and retrieve him."

Terror was shocked thinking this was more Aeon doing on the other jobs like this one.

"May I ask why me? I thought Aeon or Christy would help you… but me, Master? You hold me off on guarding Madame Elian at all times!"

"Enough!"

Lushfel's shouting causing the room to shake for Terror pleads for forgiveness.

"So sorry, Master, I was wrong to question you."

"I do know your job. You need to get out more if we're going to get what needs to be done, leave the babysitting of Elian to Christy's care. Aeon has other work to be done and so do the others while you should show your skills more in case of Dante, Kagero, or their partners interfere on our work again."

Terror looks around with guards on duty, Christy hanging around on the ceiling waving to her, and Elian minding her own business outside next to her cell picking flowers and having fun laughing and saying 'he loves me, he loves me not' over and over again. For Terror, she'll take the task for her master and nothing more than Lushfel an Elian to listen to.

"Of course, Master, I'm on it."

"Good. Don't fail me now, and in case things go crazy out there quickly retreat and leave the cleaning up to the others. Now go."

"On it."

Terror leaves the room for Lushfel and Christy to watch.

"Well, this should be fun."

Christy laughs and Elian does too with flower picking until she burns one up so fast from her powers and still fine it to be funny.

"Oops. Oh well, do it again."

Elian picks another flower to play again. Back in town, after two days of Doll being gone all the children had fun at home, with their families, their toys, and with Sally. Who has a new family a mother and father with a older son to be in and she loves it also seeing Kate everyday too with the others for Patty and Jenny to get along with same with Lully and Billy too, also playing a lot with Hopper for she has her powers though not as powerful that she wishes it to be with Dante and Kate's side but on demons hunting but with support instead. For the two sees her happy with her new family and a new doll given by Jason; for he's back in business at his bar and running smoothly with both Billy and Lully helping out too, which only leaves Dante and Kate to know about the item they have found for only Jason can ask either Nina, Morrison, Charles, or anyone to aid them on this one.

"Another happy ending for Sally in her new life."

"It's best not for her to use her powers in battle, better to be safe than sorry."

"You do have a point, Dante, don't worry she won't be in danger."

"Good. So now the only question leaves to this thing."

Dante shows Kate the item out of his jacket glowing brightly on and off that's connected to her powers.

"You still have that?"

"What?"

"Never mind, just it reacts to me. Hey! Do you think it has anything to do with my Mom?"

"Maybe, maybe not, not sure of it yet."

Kate holds the item feeling its pulse.

"It's alive, telling me something to go get it. Maybe it might be a clue to look at and our next place to go to."

"Might have danger lurking."

"Who cares, anything left by the war that my Mom was in and soon Dad to tell us the full story, has to be a clue and a key."

"But where at?"

"Dante, we got some business to take care of."

Dante and Kate question their selves about the item reacting to Kate for the same powers they both have, it might show them to Ellia's past more, and soon to be told by Jason the whole truth. But does it have any connections to the ruins where Terror's going to? What are her powers? What happen that's hidden on the small area where the angels and shadow demons fought on long ago, and who is the next person or being with the Earth element of Alpha-O-Lite? All will be answered for the two demon hunters to look at while soon on their next mission and hopefully a new weapon for Kate to have to replace her lost Angel Sword between the skull-like item and the gem piece.

Mission complete!
